OCEAN VIEW: THUGS AND DEALERS TERRORISING HIGH SCHOOL

Pupils in a flat panicMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The safety of pupils in Ocean View is inthe spotlight. This follows reports ofchildren being harassed by alleged

drug peddlers and other men.Metro Police officers, funded by the May-

or’s Urban Regeneration Programme(Murp), have now taken to patrolling HydraAvenue to help keep pupils safe.South Peninsula Subcouncil chairperson

Felicity Purchase says the issue has been af-fecting Ocean View High School for a whilenow.She explains the intimidation of pupils

has resulted inmany staying after school forseveral hours because they didn’t feel safeleaving the premises.“We first tried to get parents to assist by

fetching their children, but this didn’t work,so now we have these dedicated officers toassist,” she says.Purchase adds the officers are not from

the community making the risk of them be-ing threatened minimal.A pupil’s parent, who spoke on condition

of anonymity, says she has watched the be-haviour of these men for several months.Her daughter reported the fights and in-

timidation which occurs as they leaveschool.The woman, along with other mothers,

have opted to walk their children to andfrom school each day.She says the men, armed with sticks and

other weapons, are often the cause of fightsjust outside the school gates. “They fightabout everything from girlfriends to drugs,”she says.She says the men can be seen in the morn-

ings and in theafternoons. “Manyof the chil-drendon’t knowwhy theyare there, but theyare threatening towards them and becausethey have big sticks the children are scaredthey will get hurt,” she says.The woman explains while some of the

men appear to be in their 20s,many are teen-agers who do not attend the school.In addition, she says the “skollies” are of-

ten seen jumping over the school fencewhenthe gates are locked. “We don’t know whythey are doing this, but, again, it can’t begood for the school children,” she says.Ocean View Civic Association (OVCA)

vice-chairperson Patrick Joseph says thedistraught woman has raised her concernswith the association.He says she has watched the men in cars

for several months and spoken to pupils.“They have told her what is happening andthey are quite scared,” he says.The association says it has reported the is-

sue to police, but has not seen any action.“We are very concerned about the risk

they pose to our children. We have received

reports about drugs been sold, but we hopethe presence of these officers will help detercriminals,” he says.Joseph says the association is pleased

something is being done and hopes the chil-dren will feel safer.Principal Keith Klein hopes the officers

will be able to deter the men from harassingpupils.He explains themenare often found trying

to sell drugs to pupils during intervals.

“When they ask thesemen to leave, stonesare thrown at educators who are on groundsduty,” he says.Klein says scared pupils often stay at

home to avoid contact with the men.“We hope the presence of officers will help

keep them away. It has been a problem andis having a bad effect on our school,” headds.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

MUNICIPALITY: HAVE YOUR SAY

Comment onnew draft bylawHave your say on the City of Cape

Town’s new draft Municipal PlanningBylaw.

The proposed draft suggests changes tothe property, planning and development en-vironment in Cape Town.

It also proposes a tougher approach to en-forcement of land use, building and devel-opment regulations and will have an impacton the City’s own human settlements pro-grammes. The proposed draft makes provi-sion for emergency housing needs resultingfrom disasters such as fires and floods.

Belinda Walker, the City’s acting Maycomember for Economic, Environmental andSpatial Planning, says: “The planning envi-ronment has been known to be legislativelyfragmented. This has led to the duplicationof procedures not conducive to the enablingenvironment for opportunity and growththat we want to create in partnership withthe private sector and the broader membersof the public,” says Walker.

Now that the Spatial Planning and LandUse Management Act (Spluma) and theLand Use Planning Act have been adopted,she says, the City is leading the way in “en-suring that our municipal planning alignswith the new national and provisional plan-ning legislation”.

Walker says there have been a number ofjudgments which have been helpful in clari-fying the roles of provincial and municipalauthorities in planning decisions.

“We want to streamline procedures andminimise red tape and we are looking atways to speed up applications while at thesame time ensuring that everyone has a rea-sonable opportunity to influence the proc-ess.”

The City considers this project to be a crit-

ical legislative intervention as it will deter-mine the decision-making framework forfuture municipal planning, as well as setthe required procedures to apply for plan-ning approvals. The public is therefore en-couraged to participate at this early stage.

This draft bylaw will give effect to the mu-nicipal planning function allocated to mu-nicipalities in terms of Part B of Schedule4 of the Constitution.

The draft bylaw is required to complywith certain requirements set in the SpatialPlanning and Land Use Management Actno. 16 of 2013 which was assented to on 5 Au-gust 2013, and the Land Use Planning Actwhich was assented to on 31 March 2014 –both of which are expected to come into ef-fect during the year at the national and pro-vincial spheres respectively.

Comments, input or recommendations inrespect of the draft Municipal Planning By-law can be submitted by fax to 086 201 2775for attention of Rossouw Smit; email tolums@capetown.gov.za, written submis-sion posted to the Rossouw Smit at the Plan-ning and Building Development Manage-ment Department, PO Box 4511, City of CapeTown, 8000; or online at http://planning.ca-petown.gov.za. The period will close onTuesday 24 June.

A public participation session, wheresubmissions can be made, will take place onFriday 20 June between 09:30 and 15:00 inthe Council Chambers, 6th floor, PodiumBlock, Cape Town Civic Centre.

Contact Rossouw Smit on (021) 400 6724 orvia e-mail to Rossouw.Smit@cape-town.gov.za.

FISH HOEK BEACH: REDUCED IMPACT ON MARINE LIFE

Anti-shark net a successThe City of Cape Town will submit a re-

port to the national departments of Ag-riculture Forestry and Fisheries (Daff)

and Environmental Affairs (DEA) followingthe completion of the deployment of theshark exclusion net trial period at FishHoek Beach.The trial period finished onWednesday 30

April. It started in March last year and wasrun by the City and Shark Spotters, after aresearch permit was granted by Daff andDEA.It is unclear when the report will be sub-

mitted to the national departments.The exclusion net, with a world-first de-

sign which saw its deployment daily, willnot be deployed during winter. The deploy-ment method was selected to reduce any po-tential impact on marine life, a City of CapeTown press release states.It further alludes to the success of the tri-

al, thanks to a number of accomplishments.“As of 30April last year, thenetwas success-fully deployed 130 times –mostly over week-ends, school holidays and public holidays.It remained in the water for an average ofjust over seven hours per deployment,” thestatement reads.“During the trial period, the average time

to deploy and retrieve the net was signifi-cantly reduced, now averaging about 40minutes to deploy and an hour to retrieve.No entanglements of sharks, whales, seals,dolphins or fish occurred during the trial.(There was) only one mortality – a cormo-rant – throughout the entire trial.”Furthermore, the support from the com-

munity and other beach-goers was in favourof the exclusion net, with many indicatingits presence was significant in their choiceto use Fish Hoek Beach.“Last year a study by UCT’s School of Eco-

nomics was initiated to gauge public opin-ion of the exclusion net. The results of thisstudy will be an important factor in deter-mining the future of the programme,” thestatement reads.The project also has a job creation aspect,

with the continual growth f the Shark Spot-ters programme. “The net trial resulted inadditional job creation, training and capaci-ty building. Three Shark Spotters have nowreceived their skipper’s licenses and have

been responsible for handling the boat-based deployment and retrieval of the net.A crew of nine previously unemployed indi-viduals have also been brought on board aspart of the net crew, andhave becomehighlycompetent at handling the land-based as-pects of the process,” says the statement.The full report to Daff and DEAwill detail

the achievements andwill call on the depart-ments to decide, according to their legalmandate, whether the exclusion net will be

extended and become a permanent featureon Fish Hoek Beach.“Full councilwill alsobeasked to consider

a report recommending a way forward andassigning additional resources to the pro-gramme,” the statement reads.V Do you think the exclusion net played a role in yourdecision to use Fish Hoek Beach?

A community event to counter social illsin Ocean View is gaining momentum.Save our Beloved Slangkop is a com-

munity initiative in which parents and chil-dren gather at the entrance of Ocean Viewand speak about their concerns. On Satur-day 10 May a large group gathered and litcandles for those who died in recent shoot-ings.Coordinator Earl Mentoor explained the

circle of people with candles symbolised thecommunity uniting against crime and socialills.The monthly event has seen many resi-

dents become neighbours and even the in-troduction of food and clothing drives forthose less fortunate.The fourth event, Mentoor says, was spe-

cial as the community has been in turmoilfollowing a series of murders and shootingsover the past month.“Wewant to take a stand against the nega-

tivity that has been plaguing us. We want to

get together and talkabout the issues andstand together,” hesaid.As the sun set over

the Far South com-munity, several par-ents stood in the cen-tre of the circle andreminisced about thegood old days.One father, who

has been living inOcean View for morethan 30 years, sayshehaswatched the com-munity deteriorateas drugs and crimehave taken over.“Our children are not free. They need to

grow up in a safe community if they wantto have a better future. We must standagainst the crime,” he said.A mother, who has had three children ad-

dicted to drugs, shared her six-year journeyof hardships as she tried to help them.She says despite giving them everything

they need they turned to drugs.“But it is a choice. The drug merchants

didn’t come to our house; its our childrenwho go there,” she says.

She has seven grandchildren and pleadedwith residents to stand together.She says seeing bodies and blood flowing

on the streets of Ocean View made “herheart sore”.“Everytime we hear the gunshots and

stand over the dead bodies I start to cry. Myheart is sore because these men could havebeen one of my children. These are our chil-dren dying, we must do something,” shesaid.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

VRYGROND: TWO SLAIN IN SHOOTING

Taxi violenceescalatesTASMIN CUPIDO

@TazzCup

The chairperson of a local taxi associa-tion is calling for a cease on the allegedtaxi war which led to the death of two

people last week.Makhosandile Tumana, chairperson of

Codeta Vrygrond (CV), has asked for au-thorities to step in before more people arekilled in the now bloody taxi route war.“I have been raising concerns of the loom-

ingwarwith the City of Cape Town, provin-cial transport department and the police forsome time now,” he says.“There really is no need for people in the

taxi industry to be at war with each other.I want the authorities to handle the matterin a fair and proper way, so that it does notreturn in the future.”Warnings of the ominous taxi war be-

tween the Retreat Taxi Association (RTA)and CV were issued at the beginning of lastmonth (“Looming minibus chaos”, People’sPost, 3 April).At the time, Muizenberg police were on

high alert after threats of possible violencebetween the associations surfaced.Now the alleged war has claimed its first

victim, Tumana says, with a CV taxi driverand a passenger fatally shot on Tuesday 6May.Muizenberg police spokesperson Captain

Stephen Knapp says the incident took placeon the corner of Vrygrond Avenue andPrince George Drive at 14:35.“Two men, one the driver of the minibus

taxi, were fatally shot during the incident,”

he says. “The one man (37) was declareddead at the scene, while the other (45) wasrushed to Groote Schuur Hospital where helater succumbed to the injuries sustainedduring the incident.”The familymembersof bothvictimswere

present at the scene, as they were both resi-dents of Vrygrond.“No arrests have been made,” Knapp

says.The war is allegedly centred around the

route from Vrygrond informal settlementto Steenberg and Retreat stations. The RTAis the legal permit carrier.In 2010, the illegal Vrygrond Taxi Associ-

ation (now CV) refused to allow driversfrom the RTA to transport passengers fromVrygrond.A bloodywar,which claimed thelives of several people, broke out and theprovincial minister for transport RobinCarlisle mediated peace talks between thetwo associations.It was eventually decided that the two as-

sociations would co-exist on the route. Butit now seems the agreement is being ig-nored.On Saturday afternoon, the tension be-

tween the associations was visible, as RTAdrivers did not enter the area to offload pas-sengers, while CV drivers entered via Vry-grond Avenue. A verbal squabble betweendrivers from the two organisations also en-sued.People’s Post attempted to gain comment

fromtheRTA,but couldnot do soat the timeof going to print.V Anyone with information on the fatal shooting inci-dent can phone (021) 467 8117.

Fast and furious finish to ADT 16Peninsula Canoe Club’s Simon van Gysenfought off the challenge of a strong field toclaim victory in the ADT Marina da Gama16 K1 race on Saturday.Around 100 paddlers from across Cape

Town participated in the event, racing onthe canals ofMarinadaGamaandZandVlei.The men’s race got off to a furious start,

with six paddlers bunching up at the firstturning buoy, 500m from the start.This leading pack consisted of Van Gysen,

UCTCanoeClub’s StuartMacLaren,Milner-tonCC’s LanceKing, CenturyCity CC’s IvanKruger, and Peninsula powerhouses Grae-me Solomon and Kenny Rice.Rice was dropped on the first lap, creating

the unfavourable – for one paddler at least– second slip on the racing diamond of fivepaddlers.Solomon, for many years without a peer

in this event, was also worked off the bunchsoon after.First place alternated betweenVanGysen,

King, MacLaren and Kruger as they reeled

off the kilometres on the vlei and in betweenthe houses, leaving it all down to the finalstretch.Van Gysen eventually out-sprinted Ma-

cLarenandKing to take the top spot ina timeof 1:06:56.The women’s race started four minutes

ahead of themen’s to give thema fair chanceof winning the first lap “hotspot”.Peninsula’s Alexa Cole obliged, complet-

ing the first lap ahead of the hard-chasingmen’s pack and with junior paddler KirstenFlanagan (under-18), Nikki Mocke and AlexAdie following closely in her wake.Cole went on to win the women’s

“hotspot” as well, after finishing the secondlap in first place.Themen’s “hotspot”, also at the end of the

second lap, was won by Van Gysen.Cole went on to win the women’s race by

finishing 24th overall in a time of 1:15:53.Flanagan finished five seconds behind in

second and 26th overall, whileMocke placedthird and 34th overall.

Bo-Kaap and other parts of the CBD, wind-ing past the Iziko Slave Lodge, the SlaveTree Plaque and the Whipping Post.Several historic churches and mosques

are also dotted along the route, while par-ticipants also ran through the Castle ofGood Hope.All finishers received medals and all en-

trants received a coupon to visit the castle.The racewas hosted by Itheko SportAth-

letic Club.In the men’s open division of the half
