@monique_duval

The formation of committees to overseeprotected areas across Cape Town hasbeen tabled.

Reports sent to several subcouncilsacross the southern suburbs called forcouncillors to be nominated for these newcommittees.The report covers 17 nature reserves and

natural environments across the city andincludes popular sites like Zandvlei Estu-ary Nature Reserve, False Bay Nature Re-serve, Wolfgat Nature Reserve and the Ed-ith Stephens Nature Reserve.According to a report tabled at the sub-

council meetings the Protected Area Advi-sory Committees (PAAC) exist to facilitatea participative approach in the manage-ment of protected areas and to represent allstakeholders.The committees’ objectives will be to fa-

cilitate interaction between the manage-ment of these areas and the surroundingcommunities and to develop strategic part-nerships.The report also says the committees will

aim to serve as a communication channeland assist with the implementation of man-agement plans.The committees will be statuary bodies

formed under the National EnvironmentalManagement Act.According to the report the constitution

of the PAACwas finalised inNovember andpublic participation for nominations closedin March.According to the constitution, the com-

mittees are advisory bodies rather than de-cision-making bodies.

They will consist of communities, coun-cillors, ward communities anduser groups.They may also include other affected andinterested parties such as academic and re-search institutions, nature-based recrea-tion bodies and tourism stakeholders.The members of each committee will

serve a three-year term after which theirmembership will be reviewed and the Citycan either renew or terminate their mem-bership and request new nominations.The PAAC will have a maximum of 20

members and a minimum of six.The report recommends two councillors

be nominated to serve on the committeeswhich fall in their respective subcouncil ar-eas.In the South Peninsula subcouncil coun-

cillorsDaveD’Alton andElton Jansenwerenominated to serve on theZandvlei EstuaryNature Reserve committee. CouncillorsShaun August and Patricia van der Rosswere nominated to serve on the False BayNature Reserve committee.In the Rondevlei subcouncil, councillors

Marita Petersen and Clive van der Merwewere also nominated to the Zandvlei Estu-ary Nature Reserve committee.In theMitchell’s Plain subcouncils, coun-

cillors Sheval Arendse, Daniel Christians,Maria Weavers and Lungile Maci werenominated to serve on the Wolfgat NatureReserve committee.According to the resolutions for subcoun-

cil 15, councillors Bernadette le Roux andPatrick Chapple will serve on the commit-tee for Table Bay Nature Reserve.Rondevlei subcouncil manager Okkie

KOMMETJIE

‘Don’t play with fire!’MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A sternwarning has been issued to chil-drenwhoplay onmountain slopes andstart fires.

This follows a blaze along Slangkop Roadon Tuesday last week.Witnesses claim chil-dren were seen playing in the bush shortlybefore the fire brigade was called just after14:00.

Clouds of smoke could be seen fromOceanView as two fire trucks came blaringdown Kommetjie Road.

According to a man who assisted fire-fighters the blaze was started by “naughtychildren”.

Theo Layne, City fire and rescue servicesspokesperson, explains they received thecall at 14:31 and two fire engines andonewa-ter tanker was dispatched.

“On arrival we found people trying to putthe fire out. No injuries were reported andit is suspected the fire wasmaliciously set,”he says.

At 14:50, several firefighters could be seenhosingdown thearea.Ayounggirlwas seentrying to pick up something in a bush andwas admonished by a firefighter.

“What are you doing here? It’s unsafe.Please go home or youwill get hurt,” hewasheard saying.

The girl left but stood along SlangkopRoad and watched firefighters.

Layne issues a stern warning about chil-dren starting fires they cannot control andwhich are ignited for no reason.

“It’s very unsafe, especially because theycannot control or contain it. Thewind couldcome along and spread that fire very quick-ly, like we saw last year at this very samespot,” he says.

In December last year, a fire broke outalong Slangkop Road just after sunset. Atthe time, children were seen running out ofthe bushes. The fire quickly spread to Kom-metjie and residents were seen leaving acommunitymeeting as they feared for theirhomes.

Andrew Jantjies (44), a volunteer fromOcean View, attended to the fire and diedshortly after collapsing on the scene (“Fa-ther remembered for smile”, People’s Post,9 December).

According to a statement by the City hewas declared dead on arrival at the FalseBay Hospital.

Layne says fires along Slangkop are wor-rying as the inaccessibility of the slopesmake it difficult for firefighters to extin-guish the flames quickly.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

He says the speed limit in Albertyn Roadwas reduced to 40km/h as a precautionarymeasure.Herron further explains that with the

stop controls in place and the length of theroad, motorists would only be able to reachunacceptable speeds if they ignored all thestops.Speaking during the meeting resident Ja-

nine Versfeld asked what could be done toensure motorists stick to the speed limitsand obey the law.In response, ward councillor Dave D’Al-

ton explained more enforcement was need-ed.However, he said, therewasnomanpow-er.Questions were also raised about the op-

erations of the new traffic centre for the farsouth located along Main Road, Muizen-berg.One resident said she almost never saw

traffic officers in Muizenberg but has beenpulled over by a traffic officer near this newcentre.“The whole thing was quite absurd. The

officer pulled a car in front of mine off theroad quite abruptly and then I was pulledover for not following at a safe distance. Iexplained to the officer what had just hap-pened and they let me go. Better enforce-ment is needed in the village,” she said.The resident also said shemet with a traf-

fic engineer who made a list of recommen-dations. She was later told these would notbe implemented.D’Alton requested a copy of this corre-

spondence and said he would take the mat-ter up.According to Richard Bosman, City exec-

utive director for safety and security, the es-timated completion date for the new centreis at the end of June.Asked about the delay, Bosman says:

“The subcouncil allocated funds for theproject. However, the funding did not cover

the entire project and currently Cape Towntraffic services is funding the remainder oftheproject in order for the facility tobe fullyfunctional.”He further says traffic services conducts

enforcement in Muizenberg daily.According toHerron some improvements

were implemented in Beach Road in frontof the pavilion last year.“We have discussed options to improve

traffic management at the Vlei, Beach andRoyal roads intersection, which will be

longer term. We will be investigating theimplementation of pedestrian safety meas-ures along Uxbridge Road, including im-provements to the management of the Ax-minster, Yarmouth and Clifton roads inter-section. This, however, is likely to takeplace in the new financial year only,” heconcludes.Residents will now submit their propos-

als to Herron for consideration.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

OCEAN VIEW

Pupils to get studyhelp, space at librarySafe, quiet and nurturing.

This is the vision for a new libraryhall in Ocean View.

Plans to expand the existing library andcreate a space inwhich to runa literacypro-gramme and host homework facilities andother recreational activities were dis-cussed at a recent South Peninsula sub-council meeting.Librarian Carmen Fowkes explained

plans for the library included the ability toassist pupils after school. According to sub-council chairperson Felicity Purchase thenewhallwould be part of themayor’s urbanregeneration programme.She explained the new hall would likely

be on the left side of the library.“Wewill need to create a link between the

library and hall. The concept is to have abench in the front and a small kitchenwhere they can serve coffee and tea from,”she said.Purchase further explained there would

need to be a small storeroom for chairs andtables and users would make use of the ab-lution facilities in the library.

Councillors support the new develop-ment andbelieve itwill create amuch-need-ed facility for pupils.“We need a safe, quiet and nurturing

place where pupils can go after school andfocus on their studies in a semi-supervisedenvironment. We also want to show oursupport for those who are serious abouttheir education,” Purchase said.Speaking during the meeting, Fowkes

said the new hall would hopefully have ad-ditional computers to aide research andcomputer literacy. She also hoped to hosta literacy programme in the mountainsidecommunity.Purchase said the Ocean View library

was very well run and she was excitedabout the plans for the new hall.However, she explained that obtaining

the funding and construction may take awhile. “The funding application will taketime and it will only take place in the2015/2016 financial year. We also have totake the tender process into consideration.It will take time but we have made a start,”she concluded.

The ball is rollingon plans todevelop a hall atOcean Viewlibrary.

FAR SOUTH

Committeesneed membersMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Community organisations in the areaserved by the South Peninsula sub-council, which includes Vrygrond,

Lavender Hill and Strandfontein, are be-ing called to stand up and give their in-put.

Speaking during themonthly subcoun-cil meeting, councillors raised concernsabout dwindling attendance at the wardcommittee meetings.

According to the City of Cape Town’swebsite, ward committees aremade up often representatives of various communi-ty organisations whomeet with the wardcouncillor to discuss various issues.

There are various categories allowedand these include civic-based organisa-tions, faith-based organisations, environ-ment, education, youth and sports.

Speaking after themeeting, subcouncilchairperson Felicity Purchase explainedmany had resigned from the committeesdue to other obligations while others hadjust not attended meetings.

“What happened was, we are strug-gling to make quorum and we need moreorganisations to come forward. Thewardcommittees are a platform for organisa-tions and interested groups to raise theirconcerns and receive regular updatesabout things happening in their ward,”she said.

Purchase further explained the com-mittee members were responsible for

sharing information with their organisa-tions to ensure everyone was kept up todate.

To be a part of the committee, organisa-tions are required to register with thesubcouncil.

According to the rules for the electionand establishment of ward committeesapproved by council in September 2011,the ward councillor is the chairpersonand determines the composition of thecommittee based on the list of registeredorganisations.

Councillors have to ensure that it fairlyreflects ward demographics and the sub-council has to endorse the ward council-lor’s proposal.

Organisations also have to prove theyare active in the particular ward by pro-viding the minutes of an annual generalmeeting held within the last 18 months.

Purchase explains, depending on theinterest fromorganisations, the composi-tion can be adjusted.

“For instance we can have one moresafety representative and take away ayouth representative.

OCEAN VIEW

Ready for play, but no childrenMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The classrooms are empty and a stormis brewing at the recently revampedScorpio Crèche.

The new centre was embroiled in a heat-ed debate among Ocean View crèche usersin February amid news its operating rightshad been awarded to the previous contrac-tor, Foundation for Community Work(FCW).

The awarding of the rights had been op-posed by the South Peninsula subcouncila few months earlier. The subcouncil sup-ported a counter proposal by the OceanView Early Childhood Development (ECD)forum for the establishment of a consorti-um of local crèches to run the centre.

The forum also boycotted the officialopening by Suzette Little, City of CapeTown mayoral committee member for so-cial development and early childhood de-velopment.

Last week Riedewhaan Allie, director ofFCW, met with the forum and proposedthat Ocean View crèches use the facility inhourly slots.

He said FCW was not registered and thebuilding was not compliant and this meanthe could not run the centre.

“For those who have walked around thebuilding, there are still a few things thatneeds attention. After the painting, theburglar bars were not secured properly.The health and fire clearances we are stillwaiting on.”

Allie said they would like to start a “ca-pacity building” programme to assist un-registered crèches with training and devel-opment.

He said without the necessary clearan-ces they were not in the position to have

children in the building.However, he explained FCW would like

to open up the centre to allow other crèchesto make use of the equipment. In addition,FCW would start a toy library system, inwhich teachers could borrow equipmentand return it.

“On the samesystem the li-brary is used wewill make thespace availablefor any of the lo-cal pre-schools.You can bringyour children,book the spaceand you come fortwo or threehours [and] enjoythe facilities.”

This servicewould be free.

Asked whether the City had agreed tothis system, Allie initially gave a vague an-swer but when further probed he said theyhad agreed.

When asked for a conformation of this,Little said: “The City always advocates forbroader community participation in mat-ters pertaining to community develop-ment. Secondly, the aim is to ensure maxi-mum use of the facility to support smallhome-based ECD centres as part of a com-munity outreach programme. This is inline with the concept of ECD centres of ex-cellence which strive to enhance the shar-ing of resources and expertise.”

Speaking at the meeting teachers saidthey were reluctant to bring children if thebuilding was not compliant. They wantedto know who would be liable if a child orteacher got hurt.

According to Little, the lease agreementstates that the appointed operator needs toensure the safety of the children and staff.

Forum chairperson Marti Weddepohlsaid she was shocked and disappointedthat FCW’s centre was not ready.

Allie said his ECD centre would not bein competition withother existing crèch-es.

Teachers presentat the meeting dis-puted this, as FCWwould be charging afee.

One teacher askedhow the City couldallow thisnewcentreto stand empty whenthere were othercrèches in need.

“Did they knowthere were no children for this building?It’s unfair because the City is aware of us.We have needs and have children. Wouldit nothavebeenwise to assist these crèchesrather than putting this stuff in a buildingand it’s not being used?” she asked.

Allie said the equipment would not go towaste.

“Your preschool operating from yourseparate entrance is your business, not theCity’s. It’s not in their interest to say thisis what we want you to do in your busi-ness,” he said.

In response Weddepohl said while thehome-based crèches in Ocean View werebusinesses that made a profit, she ques-tioned whether FCW was.

Allie said they had different “streams ofincome”.

Meanwhile, Little says FCW is regis-tered and has a reputable history in the

ECD field.“As part of the supply chain manage-

ment requirements, theCity requested reg-istered ECD non-profit organisations tosubmit business plans for consideration tobe appointed to use and manage the facilitythrough a lease agreement. FCW met theset criteria.”

Little says the building is deemed com-pliant with national building regulations.However, there were legal delays with theactual signing of the lease agreement.

“This is due to a specific request from meto include certain clauses in the agreementto ensure more accountability by the ap-pointed operator. This has now been final-ised and we expect the facility to becomefully operational soon.”

However, during the meeting Allie re-peatedly said the building was not compli-ant nor safe for children.

He said no children were registered atScorpio Crèche. Yet on the day of the open-ing children were present. According tovarious reports the City brought childrenfrom Elsies River for the opening by bus.

Little confirms this and says: “Duringthe preparations for the official launch ofthe facility our officials engaged with localECD forum members to invite their chil-dren to provide an entertainment item dur-ing the event. Unfortunately, they indicat-ed that they were unable to do so and wesourced children from our ECD centre inElsies River.”

The forum has decided to not take upFCW’s offer as it is concerned about safetyin the building. The forum also believesScorpio Crèche will “take” children fromlocal crèches in future and for this reasondoes not want to support Allie.V What are your thoughts?

these crèches ratherthan putting this

stuff in a building andit’s not being used?”

What does it mean to be a man?A few decades ago, masculinity meant working hard to

earn an honest living and provide for your family.It meant leading your family in such a way that they

would follow your example.Masculinity meant protecting your family because you

loved them.But today, our ideas of masculinity have become

warped. We pressurise young men to earn big money, tolead fast lives and to achieve their goals no matter thecost. We have thrown family values out the window,replacing them with the images we see on TV.An honest living has been replaced by earning a quick

buck.Leadership has been replaced by dominance.Protection has been replaced by violence.Many young men today have little idea of the values

needed to raise a family, support their community orbuild a career.We can hardly blame them, with so many children

raised by single mothers.With no father figures to teach young boys how to be-

have, can we be surprised when they turn to crime andgangsterism or become abusive?The only providers they see are gangsters. Leadership

and protection have given way to domestic violence andsubstance abuse.Teaching boys to be responsible men is a task single

mothers cannot do alone. It needs the buy-in of the com-munity.Young boys need to see the men in their communities

as an example of responsible men, men who provide forand protect their families.They need to see men rolling up their sleeves and be-

coming involved with the community, imparting lessonsand providing an example to follow.

Your SMSesCapri fence. Yes. Close the pathway betweenBlackhill Road and Tobago Way in Capri.Truckloads of noisy workers get droppedoff there every evening and walk past ourhouse, shouting, sometimes using conve-nient bush as a toilet.. Please get it fenced off! It is crime-rid-den in Tobago Way and all of Capri.There is a squatter camp between Black-hill and Capri! An entire squatter camp!Capri is suffering because of it – particu-larly Tobago Way! Help, please!. Definite yes to the fence between Capriand Blackhill. Vagrants use this space asa toilet. Also rubbish gets taken there,bags are ripped open and rubbish blowseverywhere. Crime is easy to commit asthere’s quick access to the highway,

where a getaway vehicle is parked.Neighbours provide unlimited access towater and refuse to remove tap. Constantstream of vagrants help themselves daily.It’s a nightmare.. Fencing to curb crime. That’s pathetic.

Taxis. With reference to “Fight over routes”(21 April) a cleaner at our school (Tanjafrom Springfield) was shot in the legduring the Westlake taxi protests. Shewas simply an innocent commuter caughtin the crossfire. She is a single mothersupporting 3 children and will probablyspend months in hospital as she was hitin the knee with an exploding bullet thathas destroyed most of the joint and herlower leg. Will the taxi association’scommitment to “rights” extend to feedingTanja’s children and helping her tosurvive if their protest has cost her herleg?

They saved the day – and the toadAmid rumours that they were going tobuild houses across the road on thewetland, you can imagine the anxietywhen we woke to find huge trucks and abulldozer on the ready. Two unlikelyfigures seemed to be in control – WallyPetersen with his friendly doggie and apetite, energetic Suretha Dorse.Under the watchful eye of Wally the

driver of the bulldozer was reacting tothe arm-waving and footsteps of Surethaas she ran up and down the vlei. Sheseemed to have a plan and suddenly itbecame apparent that they were notgoing to build anything!The “lake” excavation was taking shape

as she had the driver place each rock atcritical points. Then came the truckswith a variety of indigenous plants andWally made sure they were planted justwhere Suretha and he planned.Suddenly we all became aware of the

name Skilpadsvlei and the restoration ofthe wetland. This untidy vlei had beenrehabilitated to be, among others, abreeding site for the endangered Westernleopard toad.My visiting and resident toad popula-

tion is proof of a resounding success byan amazing team.

APPRECIATIVE NEIGHBOUR,email

Sue those who park on pavementIn the last 12 months in the Fish Hoekarea, there has been a huge increase incars parking on the pavement therebycompletely blocking pedestrian access.This forces people (i.e. children, prams,

invalids) to walk in the road.What are the legal aspects of this

illegal parking?If a pedestrian, by being forced into the

road, is struck by a vehicle, or in anyway causes an accident, can the pave-

ment parker be sued for contributorynegligence?If someone is killed, can the pavement

parker be prosecuted for manslaughter?If the pavement is public property and

parking is legally acceptable, can thepavement areas possibly be licensed andcharged for, thereby raising revenue forthe municipality?

TONY HAINES,Fish Hoek

Our litter worsethan dog pooThe proposal to reduce the number ofbeaches where owners can walk theirdogs is a disturbing sign of how authori-ties wish to control public spaces withoutconsidering the rights of local residents.Sanparks has already banned dogs and

instituted hefty entrance levies onBoulders Beach, Foxy Beach (the penguinsanctuary) and Cape Point that haveproved to be prohibitively expensive forlocals.If Glencairn, Long Beach, Seaforth,

Watersedge, Windmill beaches andMillers Point are added to the list of “nogo” zones, this would effectively removethe last of the sandy shores on thewarmer side of the False Bay peninsulafor thousands of dog walkers, let alonetheir dogs!These beaches provide common space

for locals to meet and get away from thetides of tourists who increasingly clutterand “litter” this coastline.It is quite simply not right to regulate

common meeting grounds of the FalseBay community who frequent the beach-es, not just to walk their pooches butalso to unwind and socialise in theselovely natural public spaces.Half the fun of going to a beach is to

watch dogs, unleashed in an open space,interacting with one another and bound-ing along the shoreline!Why should residents have to purchase

annual activity cards at a cost of R240per person or R460 to ride a horse on thevery same beaches if they can’t freelyaccess them or are confined to unsociablehours and demarcated spaces?I trust this initiative is not intended to

protect people who do not own dogs, likeme! If that were the case, then whywould the relevant authorities havealready withdrawn services like seaweedand litter bin collection on nearly all thebeaches facing the “chop”. Human litteris far more offensive than dog poo!If dog poo is the issue, then the author-

ities should use some of the considerablerevenue being generated from the cardlevies to provide doggy bags and bins –this would also send a clear message todog owners!

SKWalmers won Cape Town’s most pop-ular derby rugby match.Ashiq Wise’s Walmers side emerged

victorious in only the second derby sinceunification against old rival Primrose at theGreen Point track on Saturday.Although Walmers comfortably won this

Kommetjie’s Michael February finishedsecond in the inaugural MartiniqueSurf Pro, a QS3000-rated event and the

eighth stop on the World Surf League quali-fying series, on Saturday.It was February’s best result in three

years on the qualifying series, and earnedthe 21-year-old from Kommetjie $10 000(about R120 000). He also jumped 61 placesto No. 16 on the rankings, the highest by aSouth African. He was runner-up to JoshuaMoniz of Hawaii.February, who posted one of the only two

perfect 10 point rides in the event during thequarterfinals on Friday, did not let an excel-lent score by Moniz on the first ride of thefinal alter his motivation and kept battlingall the way to the final countdown in searchof the 9.37 he needed to take the win.“This is the best result I’ve ever had so I’m

super happy,” February said. “Unfortunate-ly that last wave didn’t give me enough todo enough turns and maybe I made a fewmistakes, but I tried my best and I’m superhappy to have put together a good contestagain.”Moniz, 18, could not have started the final

any better, catching an excellentwave in theopening seconds, to deliver a series of excit-ing forehand turns and collect a 9.07. TheHa-waiian didn’t take his foot off the gas andcontinued to capitalise on every opportunityhe had to finally net an 8.87 as a backup andwin the event.“I was so nervous going into that heat. I

knew to win it I’d have to get big scores,”Moniz said. “I’m so stoked, this is my firstqualifying series win. Coming off anotherwin in a pro junior in Hawaii I had a lot ofconfidence and I’m on kind of a roll so hope-fully I can keep it going.”Despite posting big scores all week,Moniz

was in the underdog position up until hisquarterfinal matchup in which he dis-patched South African Beyrick de Vries.The Hawaiian then emerged as a potentialthreat for the event crown, and convincinglysurfed two more brilliant heats to take thetitle home.“I got a lot of confidence from that win

over Beyrick,” Moniz continued. “I thoughtif I beat himwell I canmaybe go all the way.Everyone’s been super nice and helpful hereand all the locals very supportive.My familyand friends have been staying up late aswellto watch me and texted me after every heat,I’m just tripping out I won.”February opted to go local in terms of ac-

commodation and stayed with a Martinican

family to immerse himself in the local vibe.Supported during all his heats by an excitedcrowd, Februaryhaswon thehearts ofmanylocals.“The people here are really good and they

welcomed me so nicely,” February contin-ued. “I’ve been getting really good food fromthe people I stayed with, tried new stuff andthey also drove me to all the little secretspots. It’s just been a beautiful experience,

Imet some incredible people and I can’t waitto be back.”In his semi-final February surprised ev-

eryone – when needing 7.70 with just sec-onds remaining he opted to ride left on therighthand point. Taking to the sky as thewave closed out, he successfully landed ahigh-flying “Hail Mary” 360 aerial manoeu-vre that the judges rewarded with 7.87 anda spot in the final.

De Vries (Umhlanga) finished equal fifthwhen he was eliminated in the quarterfi-nals.Dale Staples (St Francis Bay) and Dylan

Lightfoot (Jeffreys Bay) finished ninth and13th respectively after fifth round exits.To see the news, results, photos, videos
