KENSINGTON

Residents fear the waterTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

A piece of land close to Century City sta-tion, which is owned by Transnet, hasbecome a cause of concern for resi-

dents, especially parents, in Kensington.Over the years, they say, people have got-

ten robbed on that piece of land. And not solong ago bodies where dumped there.

They say their calls to have somethingdone to minimise criminal activities havegone unanswered.

Now the residents are scared to let theirchildren go outside because the same pieceof land has become a health hazard as it hasstagnant water.

Followingheavy rains andaburst pipe thewater didn’t subside. They are scared this isputting their kids in danger of drowning.

To make matters worse, the piece of landhas become a dumping site and no-one iscleaning it. Residents say municipal work-ers told them they won’t clean the area asit is private land.

‘Mess will make us sick’For years, they have had to bear the dirt,

the smell and the flies, but they can’t takeit anymore because they fear it will makethem and their children sick.

Resident Geraldine Morris (45) says thearea is a problem for them in so many ways.

“This will make us sick. The flies, mosqui-

toes and the smell – it’s just too much for us.We have to keep doors and windows in ourhouses closed. We stay right in front of thismess andwehave pleaded for help to get thisplace cleaned up or something be done butno-one really cares about us.

“It’s so dangerous for our kids. We can’talways keep them within sight and at timesthey goplay there. Thiswater is bad for theirskin.We are calling for something to be donebefore something terriblehappenshere.Ourkids’ lives are in danger,” she says.

Another resident, who only identified her-self as Elizabeth, says the City doesn’t careabout them. “We don’t know how manytimes we have spoken about this area butthey keep telling us they will come see what

can be done about it. I don’t know what theyare waiting for. This is a concern,” she says.

The residents had previously suggestedthat houses are built there but theywere toldthe area is a wetland and not suitable forhouses. They are now suggesting that theland be used as a garden or park.

No good for kids“We don’t even know for how long this

land has been like this. It’s not good for ourchildren. Something can be done with thatpiece of land instead of letting it waste likethis. Our kids don’t have a safer place to playso having a park there would be very help-ful,” adds Morris.V Continued on page 2

Medics targeted for ‘worthless’ tabletsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A new technology rolled out in ambulan-ces across the city is making emergency

medics a target for crime.This as three sources in the industry, who

do not want to be identified as they are notcontractually permitted to speak to the me-dia, claim that robberies and attacks havespiked over the last few months, especiallyin areas such as Mitchell’s Plain, Manen-berg, Hanover Park and Khayelitsha.They believe the spike coincides with the

installation of tablet devices in ambulances,which linkmedics to the call centre and pro-

vide directions to the emergency.Some medics who have been held up have

even been asked to hand over the “tablets”,sources say.

Useless outside ambulancesThe tablets, according to a source with in-

dustry knowledge, have been installed in away that makes them “impossible to re-move” from the ambulances.The tablets are also locked and will only

work on the health department’s system,and are useless for any other user.The installation of the devices, referred to

asMDTs, cost about R300m, the source says.Medics have reportedly raised their con-

cerns with management, but have receivedno reaction. They are now calling for imme-diate action to be taken, to inform the com-munity that the devices are not removableand are not useable outside the ambulance.Sources say the device, which is mounted

above the dashboard, is clearly visible atnight. The system also updates continuous-ly, and can be heard beeping from outsidethe ambulance.They say in some areas, medics even

choose to use ambulances in which the devi-ces have not yet been installed or switch itoff.They say no education has taken place in

communties to inform the general public of

the function of the MDT devices.

Added pressureThe increase in attacks has left medics

fearful, a source confirms, with many al-ready expected to attend to patients in areasthey feel are unsafe or where gang violenceis prevalent. “We already have the pressureof having to respond to as many calls as pos-sible. It’s nowbecoming just a job andwe arelosing our passion,” he says.The department of health refused to con-

firm the existance of the MDT devices, say-ing to do so could make ambulances moreof a target. They declined to comment fur-ther.

Transnet spokeperson Mboniso Sigonyelaconfirms that the piece of land belongs toTransnet and they are in contact with a ser-vice provider which cleans the site, includ-ing the clearing of bushes and removal ofillegally-dumped rubble.“Transnet has in the past erected sign

boards and concrete sleepers to prevent ac-cess and further illegal dumping. The solu-tion was effective for a while, but illegaldumping resumed after the concrete slip-pers were removed to allow constructionvehicles to access the site during the con-struction of the Kensington station.“An agreement was later reached with

the community to install a boomgate to con-trol access to the site in an effort to curbillegal dumping. Transnet honoured the re-quest but the boomgatewas vandalised andlater stolen.“Transnet is aware of the burst water

pipe running through the site and has re-ferred the matter to the City.“We are in constant contact with various

stakeholders, including the community,the City of Cape Town’s metro police, thePassenger Rail Agency of South Africa(Prasa) and the local councillor in an effortto find a long-term solution,” he says.Siyabulela Mamkeli, mayoral committee

member for health, confirms complaintshavebeen received relating to dumpingandstagnant water on the site.“The stagnant water was as a result of a

pipe that had broken and the pipe was re-

paired. The last complaint received was inJune and concerned dumping,” he says.Mamkeli adds that it is the view of the

municipality that Transnet is doing what itcan about the dumping.“The area is cleaned on a regular basis

and large stones and barriers have beenplaced to try and prevent vehicular accessto the area. Transnet conducts regular secu-rity patrols along the stretch of land aswell.Residents have also been encouraged totake down vehicle registration numberswhen they see dumping occur so that theCity can prosecute dumpers. In Novemberlast year, City health attempted to employlocal community members via the expand-ed public works programme to go door-to-door to educate the surrounding communi-ty of Acre Road and 18th Avenue on thehealth dangers of dumping and to encour-age residents to report dumping. Unfortu-nately, four consecutive workers resignedas they indicated that it was too dangerousfor them to perform this type of communitywork in this area,” he says.Members of the community who spot

dumping are encouraged to report it:.Call 021 400 6157 during office hours (withoffenders’ or their vehicle details only).. Email [email protected] (with offenders’ or their vehicle detailsonly).. If you don’t have those details call0860 103 089 or email [email protected].

SALT RIVER

‘B.I.K.E.’ spells ‘park here’TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Ward 57 councillor Brett Herron un-veiled a new, artistically designed bi-

cycle rack at the corner of Durham Avenueand Cecil Road in Salt River on Thursdaylast week.The artsy bicycle rack came about as part

of Cape Town’s world design capital year ofprojects and Herron organised the installa-tion in Salt River as part of his ward alloca-tion. He says this follows numerous re-quests from cyclists in his ward to have asafe place to park their bicycles.

Not the usual typeThe project promotes public art as well as

bicycle culture. The cycle rack – the first ofits kind in the area – is not the usualU-shaped rack. Two other places have thesepublic art racks installed, one at Searle

Street and the other at Keizersgracht.The rack spells the word “bike” and can

handle eight to 10 bicycles at one time.Herron says this is a way to encourage

people to cycle instead of drive.“We want people to use bicycles as this

will help decrease the congestion on ourroads. This was also the only sustainableway to reduce congestion on our roads.

Positive start“Through this initiativewe are encourag-

ing people to cycle knowing that they havea safe place to leave their bicycles. I’m hop-ing that people will use them a lot. I havenoticed a lot of interest from cyclists aboutthe racks so it’s a positive start for them,”he says.Nils Hansen, a cyclist, says the racks are

a good step in the right direction: “We haveto start somewhere. It has been well re-

ceived andwearehappy that there is a placeto park our bicycles properly. It will im-prove as the years go by, but what makesus happy is that something is being doneabout cycling.Wewill get things right aswego.”David Malan, another cyclist, says they

are happy about the initiative but the Cityalways misses the spot.“What they always get wrong is that cy-

clists love their coffee. So they should tryand put the racks closer to a coffee shop, be-cause when I’m having my coffee I want tosee my bike. That is why most cyclists endup locking their bicycles on the poles so thatthey will be in full view. We know that it’sa work in progress and we appreciate thatandhope itwill improvewith time. Itmakesushappy, though, thatwehave aproper safeplace to park our bikes,” says Malan.Another installation of bicycle racks is

planned.

Mother stands upagainst bullyingTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Chauncey’s epic anti-bullying club was of-ficially launched at the Peninsula Hotel inSea Point last week.The club,which has been in existence for

only a few months, tackles the worldwidechallenges and effects of bullying atschools. Founded by a mother, BeverleyDavids, who saw her son suffer because ofbullies, she vowed to do something aboutbullying.Since the formation of the club Davids

has visited different schools in Cape Townand educated teachers, parents and pupilson bullying (People’s Post, “Pupils educat-ed on bullying”, 16 June).Davids believes not a lot is being done to

address bullying.“Watching my son suffer because of bul-

lying and no-one to help really tore myheart apart. We knocked on literally everydoor but no-one could help him. I watchedinpainashe sufferedandall thedoorswereshut in front of us. That’s when I realisedI had to do something to help others aswell,” she says.

Left brokenAttending the launch last week was Dur-

ban author Sandhir Kumar Sewmungal(21), who has suffered at the hands of bul-lies while in school.With no-one to turn to, pen and paper be-

come his best friends and he chronicled ev-erything that happened to him. However,what Sewmungal remembers is that bully-ing leaves you broken.“You become so angry and lonely that you

can’t help yourself. It tears you apart. Formost people it has long-term effects, likenightmares, and they become so aggressive.It’s such a pain that with such devastatingeffects of bullying not so much is being doneto help the victims. However, I would en-courage parents to talk to their children andhelp them to open up and tell you if they arebeing bullied. Though the responsemight beslow, keep talking about it – something willeventually happen,” he said.

Bullying destroysUsing apiece of paper,Davids demonstrat-

ed the effects of bullying.“Whenyou squash apiece of paper andun-

fold it again, it can unfold, but it will nevergo to its original state. It has creases thatwillnever be fixed. So let’s educate each other,but mostly our kids, to say no to bullying,because it destroys the person inside. Mostpeople grow to be lonely beings or sad andmostly broken inside because of bullying, solet’s fight together to make sure that we winthis war against bullying,” says Davids.Chauncey’s epic anti-bullying club is run

by Davids and her family. Anyone whowants to donate to help them carry out themessage of saying no to bullying can canDa-vids on 073 557 8849 or 021 372 0252.

FACTRETON

You’ve failed us,backyarders sayTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Residents from Factreton have slammeda City project as useless and now some

are calling for the mayor to come and takeback her unfinished toilets.The project launched by mayor Patricia

de Lille four years ago to help backyarders,mainly in council houses, with electricityand toilets has not been finished.Residents complain that installations

were not properly planned or put in thewrong place.Mariam Rhoode (57) says her toilet was

installed too close to the kitchen. “Therewas no way we were going to use that be-cause the smell was going to flow into ourkitchen. I have asked the City to come re-move it, but they don’t want to. It’s just awaste of my space. It’s a fail from the Citybecause it’s in the wrong place and it’s notcompleted. It doesn’t even have a toilet seatand it has been like that for years. We wantthe City to come take it back,” she says.Lulama Onrust (44) says being a back-

yarder is the most painful thing.“I have lost relatives because we don’t

have electricity. We have to use an illegalconnection which is very dangerous. It’snot built to sustainall of us at the same time,so we have to take turns to cook. We havebeen to the councillor’s office I don’t knowhow many times; they just make us signforms and nothing is done,” she says.Onrust adds that using illegal connec-

tions is very expensive for them.“We use more than R100 a week. If we

have our own boxes it will be much betterbecausewe can save a lot ofmoney.Wewere

supposed to get electricity boxes as prom-ised by the mayor but up to this day we arestill waiting. We have lost hope,” she says.Ernest Sonnenberg, mayoral committee

member for utility services, says the roll-out of backyarder services is entirely de-pendent on community support, requestsand cooperation.“Factreton was the pilot project for the

City’s backyarder programme. The Citywas able to implement a portion of theproject successfully, where the communityworked with us, but the rollout unfortu-nately had to be halted where unpredictedissues arose within the community.”

Factreton backyarder Lulama Onrust saysthey put their lives in danger every day theyconnect electricity illegally, but they have nochoice since the mayor has not kept herpromise. PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJI

The provincial government wants to hon-our the legacy of former president NelsonMandela by developing a tourism routewhich traces his journey in the province.Alan Winde, provincial minister of eco-

nomic opportunities, says it is part of a se-ries of heritage tourism proposals.The proposal comes from South African

Tourism’s mobile app, which is based on amap of Madiba-inspired tourism attrac-tions.“The map was launched last year to en-

courage local and international tourists towalk in the footsteps of Madiba. We hopethese initiatives will offer an authentic ex-perience to visitors, allowing them to expe-rience a piece of the Western Cape’s richcultural heritage,” he says.The proposal is to develop signage for the

Madiba route, which will highlight cultur-ally significant sites in the province.“It is our goal to develop clear signage for

theMadiba route so tourists are able to eas-ily navigate to the different sites. At thisstage this is a proposal, and we will engagethe relevant stakeholders,” he says.The proposed Mandela journey will be

made up of Robben Island, Pollsmoor pris-on, Drakenstein correctional services, CityHall and Parliament.The proposal will be submitted for ap-

proval next month.“We can increase the economic contribu-

tion of the tourism sector by up to R28bnfrom R17bn.“It could add up to 100 000 formal jobs.

Currently, 204 000 residents are formallyemployed in the tourism sector.”

One of the oldest museums in the South-ernhemisphere is receiving amultimil-

lion rand upgrade.The Iziko South African Museum, which

was opened in 1879, has received fundingfrom the provincial department of arts andculture to create a bigger museum.The renovation and upgrade of themuse-

um will facilitate greater access to the col-lections and enable Iziko to work towardsbecoming a world-class museum, explainsmuseum CEO Rooksana Omar.

Six storeys“The courtyard project consists of the

construction of six storeys within thecourtyard of the existing research build-ing, adjacent to the UCT campus. Whencompleted, this building will house the re-search collections, offices and laboratories,aswell as giveuniquebehind-the-scenes ac-cess to the public to viewcollections in stor-age, scientists and technical staff workingon fossils and other specimens,” she says.The project aims to increase the storage

space for the growing natural history andsocial history collections, improve visitoraccess to the research and collections withthe aim of increasing public awareness andprovide additional office and exhibitionspaces for Iziko museums.The renovations are expected to be com-

plete late next year.A report by the Central City Improve-

ment District estimates the project to beworth R180m.

Behind the scenesThe upgrade will allow Iziko to “lift the

veil” on the daily activities behind the pub-lic exhibitions and share the full extent ofits collections with visitors, Omar says.“Visitors can learn to better understand

the constantly evolving universe we live inand marvel at the biological and culturaldiversity of our planet,” she says.Themuseumwill remainopenduring the

renovations, although some exhibitionsand areas may be closed.

Local traced afterstealing from shopTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

A known thief from Factreton wasdragged out of the shack he was hiding

in after stealing money collection cansfrom Friends Café in Kensington.After stealing the containers he ran to an

informal settlement in 6th Avenue to hide.But the Kensington street committeetraced him before he could open the cans.The shop owners informed the street

committee after the theft and street com-mittee members immediately started thesearch. It is alleged that the man has beenterrorising residents and robbing them.The suspect was found hiding in one of

the shacks. He was taken back to the shopand was recognised by the shop owners.The police were called to arrest him.Mogamat Nordien, Kensington street

committee chairperson, says the manthought he would get away with his crimeby running into an informal settlement.“We are not scared. We went into that

squatter camp andwemanaged to take himout of the shack where he was hiding. I’mglad that we managed to act quickly beforehe could open the containers. All of the con-tainerswere full ofmoney that’s for charityorganisations. I’m happy that even the po-lice came quickly when we called them aft-er catching him,” he says.Nordien expresses his sadness over

armed robberies of shops in the area.“Shops are being robbed all the time. It’s

so sad that it feels like a suicide bombingin Iraq. You will never see these people un-til the shop is robbed and it’s too late. Weare working around the clock,” he says.Police spokesperson Sergeant David

Stemmet confirms the incident.“A 22-year-old male was arrested and

charged with theft. His first court appear-ance was on Thursday last week at the CapeTown Magistrate’s Court.“The accused allegedly grabbed three

cans full of coinswhichwere standingon thecounter and ran. According to the complain-ant he collected the money to donate it tohomeless people,” he says.TheKensingtonpolice says they are grate-

ful to the community for their involvement.

We hear of people taking the law into their own handsto deal with criminals, more often these days.Andwhile not only the hardened criminals, but also the

petty thieves are “punished for their crimes” by ordinarymembers of the community fed up by a “lack of policeaction”, very often vigilante justice becomes more thanjust a “simple hiding”.Recently, a suspectedmurderer paidwith his livewhen

residents of Kalkfontein decided to take the law into theirown hands.The reason? The community “distrusts” the police.

Theyalso complain about the lackof policing in their areaas is the case with other crime ridden areas across theCape.In a separate incident earlier thisweek, nine foreigners

and a South African were robbed at the bottom of Lion’sHead in Cape Town.When the victims chased the criminals after the rob-

bery, one called the SouthAfrican emergency number 112– without success.He phoned his mother, who tried phoning the 112 emer-

gency number as well as 10111 for over 20 minutes. Whenshe finally got through to the Cape Town Central policestation, the police officer on the phone did not knowwhere Lion’s Head is. The victims gave up after waitingon help to arrive for 35.Although the above incidents are not related , there is

an agreement: the police were conspicuous in their ab-sence.Such clumsy action (or rather a lack of any action) is

a blot on the name of our sergeants.The longer this poor service continues, the more the

community will continue to take the law into their ownhands – in itself a frightening and unacceptable idea!

Look out for morel mush-roomI’m a Rondebosch-based mushroomforager and fungi researcher in need ofsome knowledge and/or advice fromFish Hoek residents who may havespotted an extremely rare mushroomgrowing in the valley.The morel mushroom is highly

sought-after for its excellent taste and isextremely rare to find in Cape Town.Research has led me to believe that

Fish Hoek was once a hotspot forforaging wild morels, but this is goingback over 50 years.

The morel is brown-yellow, shaped likea small conical brain and usually popsup in spring when the ground warmsup, at least in the northern hemisphereit does.They have been known to pop up after

fires and are believed to be mycorrhizal,meaning that they grow under certaintrees – in this case oak, ash, elm andapple orchards.I am curious as to whether they are

still around.Finding one, or a patch of them, would

be quite a discovery.Any information about these mush-

rooms and their last seen location wouldbe highly appreciated.I wish to find them and collect sam-

ples, as to preserve their spores forfuture propagation around the city.Eating them is undoubtedly a bonus!Please email me at [email protected] if

you know anything of this rare fungusthat grew in Fish Hoek.

Cry of desperationBy the time this article is published,another two coffins would have beencarried by bereaved family members toour local cemetery.Another two young lives cut off in the

prime of their youth.More tears, more heartache and more

uncertainty of what to expect next.As a community we are desperate –

desperate to see the end of this senselessbloodshed, desperate to be freed from thisevil that seems to overwhelm everythingin its wake.These are not words of despair, but

words of desperation. In spite of all ourefforts we humanly endeavour to do tomake our community a better place, theauthorities still ignore or choose tooverlook what is happening.As community leaders, organizations,

structures and churches we are doing ourlevel best but the reality is that we arenot the authorities. We are not the police,social development, court or the govern-ment.As long as basic services are not

delivered within the reach of the commu-nity, desperate times will prevail.I hope out of our desperation this time

round we will keep those who areresponsible to render these services,accountable and that if they don’t weshall collectively deal with the matter.

Gender violencea serious issueThe horrendous and brutal attacksagainst the courageous 14-year-oldGrabouw girl, and the 18-year-old matricpupil, Sanet de Lange begs the question,“When will civil society start winningthe battle of violence against women?”The ongoing scourge of the abuse ofwomen and children continues unabat-ed!Have we forgotten the brutal murder

of 2-year old baby Zoey Petersen at thehands of her drug-crazed father?The most vulnerable in our society

continues to be violated almost on a

daily basis, despite campaigns such asthe 16 Days of Activism for No Violenceagainst Women and Children, whichruns globally from 25 November (Inter-national Day for the Elimination ofViolence against Women) through toInternational Human Rights Day on 10December. I urge civil society to collec-tively tackle the issue of gender violenceseriously, and for government to securethe highest political commitment to endthe pandemic expeditiously.

Muggings, robberies must be reportedIt’s been safe and quiet for the last fewmonths at sunrise beach where localMuizenberg residents enjoy walkingtheir dogs or just taking a family stroll.But in the last week three violent

attacks have occurred.Two Sundays ago a man was robbed

at knife point and last Tuesday twoseparate incidents of ladies being robbedat gun point, at 10:00 by a couple of

youths.This is terrible. The sad thing is most

of these are never reported to the police,as people feel “What’s the point?” Thenthey complain that the police do noth-ing. These attacks need to be reported inorder for the law to do something aboutit!

The tournament will kick off onFriday at 17:45 when SuperSportUnited’s Gordon Igesund (a formerAjax Cape Town coach himself)and his charges pit their skillsagainst Alan Pardew’s Palace.

This will be followed by home fa-vourites Ajax facing off againstSporting, who have recently ap-pointed former Benfica coachJorge Jesus to mentor the Lisbonoutfit.

According to Sporting’s Joao Go-mes, they are proud to be invitedto play in the pre-season spectaclein Cape Town.

“We are certain that participa-tion in this tournament will be ben-eficial for the preparation of thefirst team for the season,” says Go-mes.

“We hope to grow this tourna-ment in the years to come and hostother big-name soccer clubs inCape Town. “We ask for the sup-port of the entire Cape Town com-munity to make this event a hugelysuccessful one.”

Tickets cost between R150 andR325, with the City offering an“early bird” promotion: Buy a R200ticket for Friday’s matches (forseats on the middle tier of the northand south stands of the Cape Townstadium) and receive the added bo-nus of a free ticket to Sunday’s fi-nal day.

For those only wanting to attendone day of the spectacle, ticketswill cost R150 (east stand) or R250(west stand). R325 will secure aticket for a seat on the west standfor both Friday and Sunday.

An unlimited number of ticketsare available for students (over 18years) and pensioners (over 60years) at R150, R250 and R325.

heroics and successfully defendedtheir Greenfields Elite Club Chal-lenge title in Durban at the week-end.The tournament boasts the larg-

est total prize money for a SouthAfrican hockey tournament.WPCC pocketed R25 000 for its ef-

forts in securing the tournament’stop honours, which is the highestprize money ever awarded inSouth African hockey history.The Greenfields Elite Club Chal-

lenge is the only non-tertiary na-tional hockey tournament on theSA circuit to feature the country’s

top club hockey teams.The tournament was established

in 2013 by Riverside Sports andRiverside Hockey Club to show-case proficient top class hockey bypremier players in a festival typetournament.This year, spectators were treat-

ed to an evenmore exciting displayof intense hockey performancesfrom SA’s top players and clubs.Participating teams included the

Badgers, Kearsney Hockey Club(2nd), RiversideHockeyClub (3rd),Wanderers Hockey Club (4th) andOld Edwardians Hockey Club(5th), who were also newcomers tothe tournament, and Malik Old Al-banians Hockey Club (6th).

Deserved championsThe Badgers would seal the deal

in the final match of the festival,beating Kearsney 3-0, with goalsfromcaptainAndrewCronje,Matt-hew McConkey and Ryan Crowe.According to JonCook, theBadg-

ers were fully deserved champi-ons.“Throughout this outstanding

event, the Badgers were compactin defence, inventive in midfieldand composed in front of goal.“The Cape Town side were also

indebted to their inspirationalgoalkeeper Mark Turner, whomade a number of breathtakingsaves at vital moments in histeam’s four matches.“The impressive Kearsney outfit

made the Badgers work hard forthe victory, yet the goal scoring op-portunities they created didn’ttranslate into dividends.”
