Nightmare on Earl StreetNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A Woodstock resident is fight-ing to have a blemish re-moved from the face of her
neighbourhood.An open plot in Earl Street has
become overgrown with the fenceleft in a state of disrepair.Resident Christine Wessels says
this has led to the property becom-ing a dumping hotspot.She believes dumping occurs be-
cause of the damaged fence and un-kempt grass at the property.Upper Woodstock Residents’ As-
sociation spokesperson LauraMeyer says the organisation hasreceived a number of reports re-garding the state of the plot andthat it “definitely needs to becleaned”.The property, a health concern,
is near the Woodstock CommunityHealth Centre.U-Watch neighbourhood watch
chairperson Andrew Geel says theorganisation is aware of dumpingon the plot.“Dumping, untidiness, degrada-
tion and poor maintenance of pri-vate and state-owned property hasan impact on criminal activity.The property has allegedly been acriminal hide-out, and the generalstate of the property does not con-tribute positively to the communi-ty,” he says.“U-Watch would like to see the
mess cleaned up, the fence re-paired and the property regularlymaintained to ensure that the rightmessage is sent to the communityand to criminals - that we careabout our neighbourhood.”Wessels approached the national
department of public works, whoafter threeweeks began cutting thegrass on the property.However, the fence was left un-
touched and the dumped refusewas not cleared.This amplified the problem, she
maintains.“Since the fence of the property
is still not fixed and the grass hasbeen cut, this looks like an open in-vitation for more dumping to hap-
pen. The dumping will unfortu-nately continue if the fence is notfixed, resulting in a much biggerproblem than we’ve had before,”she says.Shortly after this, workmen ap-
peared to fix the fence. But whenWessels raised the problem ofcleaning the dumping, the workcame to a halt.Provincial public works depart-
ment spokesperson Al-Ameen Ka-
faar confirmed the property isowned by the national Departmentof Public Works.National public works depart-
ment spokesperson Thami Mc-hunu says a request for cleaningwas received by theWoodstock Im-provement District.“An inspection of the property
fence will be carried out to estab-lish the damage and measures torepair it. The grass has been
trimmedand the propertyhas beencleaned,” he says.However, dumping is still visible
on the property.“This situation is super frustrat-
ing,” Wessels says.Land owners throughout the
suburb need to take responsibilityfor empty plots, Meyer says.However, numerous vacant lots
in the area are not just an eyesore,Geel says.“In many cases the owners clean
their land regularly and have putup fences to keep people out. Theseland owners make it easy for thecommunity to spot any criminalactivities,” he says.However, not all property own-
ers carry out these duties, Geelcontinues. “Unfortunately in somecases land owners ignore their du-ties. Tall grass or derelict build-ings become magnets for crimi-nals, able to hide themselves orstash their stolen items amonglong grass, weeds and old build-ings. These areas aredifficult to po-lice and patrol, and they have avery negative impact on the com-munity,” he says.Vacant lots also create the im-
pression that the neighbourhood isuncared for, Geel says.“These lots also send a message
towould-be criminals that the com-munity doesn’t care about theirneighbourhood, much in the sameway as graffiti and missing man-hole covers do. This issues an openinvitation to criminals to move in-to our area, and we need to worktogether as a community to reportthese and follow upwith the city toensure these land owners take re-sponsibility for their land,” hesays.

GROOTE SCHUUR
Preemies get afighting chanceNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A baby’s first smile, first step or firstword is a memory no mother will for-get.
These memories will however never bemade for one out of seven of the millionmothers who give birth prematurely.But the Newborns Groote Schuur Trust is
working tirelessly to change these heart-breaking statistics.The trust supports the Neonatal Unit at
Groote Schuur Hospital with funds to im-
prove survival rates amongst premature,low birth weight and critically ill babies,trust spokesperson Julie Gibson says.The neonatal unit cares for 3 200 of some
of the smallest and sickest babies in theWestern Cape each year.Many of these children weigh less than a
bag of sugar, with some only the weight ofa block of margarine.Shiyaam Valentine’s son Yaqeen weighed
only 970g when he was born last year.With underdeveloped lungs, he lost anoth-
er 200g at only a few days old.“I was so scared when I saw my son,” Val-
entine says.“I didn’t even know if I should hold him.
Iwas just amazed that hewas alive as hewassuch a small baby. It was very emotional.”Theunit and trust becameValentine’s sec-
ond family as they nursed her son to health.“They were teaching me things like how
to feed and carry my son,” she says.Now, a year on, he is growing stronger
each day.“He’s stubborn,” she says, laughing.“He shouts to get his own way. He has
started standing and is trying to walk.”But not every story ends likeValentine’s.Over 200 mothers leave the unit without
their babies every year.This is what the trust aims to prevent by
equipping the unit with new incubators andother equipment, Gibson says.“One of the biggest problems facing our
unit is that it is only a quarter of the sizeit should be for the number of babies lookedafter annually. This means it is constantlyrunning over capacity. Overcrowding great-ly increases the risk of infection and othercomplications for our tiny patients,” shesays.The unit has been assigned more space by
thehospitalwhichwillmore thandouble thesize of the ward.However, funds are needed to aid the ex-
pansion, Gibson says.To assist in fundraising, the trust is hold-
ing a seven hour knit-a-thon on World Pree-mies Day, observed on Monday 17 Novem-ber.Knitters are invited to showoff their skills
by creating beanies for the babies or donat-ing towards the trust.V The knitathon will take place at Groote SchuurHospital from 07:00 to 14:00. Dress in purple for preemies. Contact Julie Gibson at (021) 404 6023 or enquiries@newborns.org.za.

WALMER ESTATE
New home for settlers?NICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Walmer Estate shackdwellers may berelocated to Blikkiesdorp.This after an eviction notice was
issued to families living at 3B CambridgeStreet.Michael Pedro, who has been living on
the property for 25 years, says the court’ssheriff visited the site, saying the familieswere to be evicted immediately.However, the eviction was put on hold
once the families indicated that they had noalternative accommodation.“We were supposed to be off the property
by last Monday (3 November),” Pedro says.“Council officials visited us and said they
couldnot intervene as it is private property,but could assist once we move off the land.They are trying to liaise with the owner todelay eviction until the end of the year be-cause our children are in school nearby.”City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee
member for Human Settlements SiyabulelaMamkeli says the City made an offer of al-ternative accommodation to the respond-ents based on humanitarian grounds.“This offerwasmade possible due to spac-
es opening up in Blikkiesdorp recently,” hesays.Neighbours have expressed outrage that
the families would be expected to movewithout alternative accommodation.Tracy Craig says the families are willing
to co-operate, but have nowhere to go.“You can’t just put them out on the street.
They’ve been here for 25 years. It’s not likeit’s some vagrants that moved in a weekago,” she says.People’s Post was unable to to reach the
property owner at the time of going to print,but his attorney Coen vanGraan confirmedthat the City had been “on board” from thestart of court proceedings.
Pedro says the residents are reluctant tomove to Blikkiesdorp, asmost of themworkin the city and will incur travelling costs ifthey relocated.However, theyare focusedon findinga so-
lution, he says. “We want to stop fighting.We just need a place to stay where our chil-dren can grow up.”

New flow for riverASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
The upgrade of Athlone Sewage Workshas shown a marked improvement inthe discharge of contaminated water
in the Black River.This was revealed at the Friends of the
Black and Vygekraal rivers meeting lastweek.Guest speakerKevinWinter, lecturer and
researcher in the Environmental and Geo-graphical Science Department at UCT, saidover the last ten years the Athlone SewageWorks has been upgradedmultiple times ata cost of millions of rands.“In mid 2000s the sewage plant was
known as the Athlone ‘pong’ because of thestrong toilet smell, and that was one of thereasons the upgrade was necessary,” he ex-plained.Winter said the plant was operating over
its capacity with too much water coming inand too little resident time to effectivelytreat the water.“The discharge of contaminated water
from the sewage works contains high con-centrations of nutrients such as nitrogen,ammonia, phosphorous and bacteria. Thiswater is discharged into the Black River,”he said.Excess nutrients provide liquid fertilizer
which stimulate the growth of water hya-cinth and other aquatic weeds.Winter explains that the State of the Riv-
ers Report in (2005) described theBlackRiv-er water quality as “unacceptable” and thatthe condition of the river as a “detrimentto the region when it could be an asset”.However, more recently there have been
some noticeable changes with the arrival of
colonies of Greater Flamingos on the river.This has been a talking point.“These birds feed off the algae in the wa-
ter andmicro-organisms. Thewater qualityis much clearer and they are able to pickfrom the bed of the river. These birds havedetected a difference,” Winter says.However, he explains that water quality
data obtained from the City of Cape Townshows some improvements downstream ofthe Athlone sewage works, but levels of pol-lution are still unacceptable in the BlackRiver.Winter says water quality does, however,
vary from month to month.“A furthermorepressing issue is that pol-
lutants entering into the Black River do notall come from the sewage works,” he said.The Salt River catchment is a large area
that drains into the Black river frommulti-ple sources of under-serviced areas wherethere are significant pressing social andeconomic issue, Winter explained.“While investment in the continual up-
grade of the sewage works is necessary, theissues lie further upstream. The potentialtomake the green corridor of the Black Riv-er a viable asset remains a massive chal-lenge inwhich the solutions are not in tech-nical upgrades alone,” he said.In his chairperson’s report, Jonathan
Hobday explained over the past 18 monthsa comprehensive report and basic guide hasbeen compiled on the Black River.The Friends conducted several walks
along the river banks to assess the issuesand record their observations.“This very detailed report provides a ba-
sic guide for us in development of a properenvironmental and business plan for therivers.”

Additional funds towards the MainRoad upgrade may see the park at theWoodstock Town Hall come into fo-
cus.Extra funding from ward budgets in Sub-
council 15hasbeen injected into theproject.This may see a skate park established
along with general upgrades to the park.A landscape framework for Main Road
from the CBD to Mowbray is currently be-ing drafted to establish a unified vision forthis corridor’s public realm.The framework considers the entire
space between the buildings on either sideof the road as well as abutting hard and softpublic spaces like parks and parking areas,explains ward councillor and project over-seer Brett Herron.“This body of work will give clear guide-
lines to developers who wish to develop, re-develop or to upgrade their buildings andthe surrounding public realm like the side-walk, public parking area or park. It alsoestablishes a vision for the areas that vari-ous City of Cape Towndepartments and pri-vate developments can contribute to asbudget and opportunity allows,” he says.Main Road runs from theGoodHope Cen-
tre to the Baxter Theatre.“TheMain Road upgrade project is not so
much a street upgrade as a public space up-grade to catalyse regeneration along MainRoad.Wehave identified six catalytic nodes
along the road and are designing interven-tions to make the roadway more human/pedestrian friendly and to improve the pub-lic space,” he says.Six nodes along the road, of which Wood-
stockTownHall is one, have been identifiedformore detailed investigation and concep-tual design, Herron explains.“Wehave just completed a first draftmas-
ter plan for the Woodstock Town Hall Parkprecinct and listed possible sub-projectsand ordered the list according to priority,impact and logical sequence of implementa-tion. The primary intervention identified isto convert a portion of the parking area intoa small skate park – the feasibility of whichis currently being investigated,” he says.The additional R9 000 added to the project
will allow council to realise more of themaster plan, Herron believes.“Itwill possibly beused for the skate park

chairperson Shamiel Abbass says a skatepark is sorely needed in the community.“There is currently a lot of under-utilised
space in thepark that could easily be turnedinto a skate park. The community could al-so benefit from an outdoor gym,” says Ab-bas.Abbass would also like to see security is-
sues and vagrancy addressed.The project will be implemented over a
number of financial years and has R230 000allocated to it in this financial year.

KENSINGTON/FACTRETON
Cleaning up ‘unkempt’ streetsNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
In a bid to clean up Kensing-ton and Factreton, resi-dents are being called to
take to the streets – to cleantheir verges.Ward councillor Lisa Mc-
Bride is urging residents tostart street committeeswhichwill tackle crime and grime intheir streets, such as over-grown sidewalks.Unkempt sidewalks are
adding to the general air of ne-glect across the suburbs, Mc-Bride says. This encourageslittering anddumping, she be-lieves.Kensington/Factreton Ratepayers’ Asso-
ciation’s Illegal Dumping Subcommitteechairperson Leslie Swartz says overgrownvegetation makes it difficult to monitordumping hotspots and effectively cleanthem.The City does not mow verges in residen-
tial areas, says Mayoral Committee mem-ber for Community Services and SpecialProjects Belinda Walker.“The City relies on civic pride whereby
the residents take ownership for the main-tenance of residential road verges abuttingtheir properties. City Parks is currentlymaintaining over 1 995ha of road vergesthroughout the city at an annual cost ofoverR60m.This is in addition to themainte-nance of over 1 352ha of green belts. It is un-fortunately not possible for the City to fundthe maintenance of residential road verg-es,” she explains.NowMcBride is calling on the communi-
ty to assist in cleaning the ward.“Each person should clean in front of
their own home. However, this assumes
that everyone has the wherewithal to do so,which is not always the case,” she says.The formation of street committees,
which tackle cleansing as well as securitywould eliminate overgrown verges, she be-lieves. “We need to fix, clean, improve andregenerate the area street by street and weneed to do so together. I want to look at priz-es or sponsorships for innovative plans, forthe best street, for themost improved streetand so on. Residents can hand in names orcollect forms at my offices at the Kensing-ton Civic Centre onMondays and Fridays,”she says.Swartz suggests creating jobs through al-
location ward funding and partnering withlocal businesses to run a cleaning project,similar to the one tackling dumping.McBride is also appealing to local busi-
nesses to assist with sponsorships of gar-dening equipment.“I want to see a ward that is clean, green
and deslummed where there is a place foreveryone and where people stay in an areathat they can be proud of, regardless of yourincome bracket,” she says.

ELECTRICITY SERVICES
New system to give power to the peopleCapetonians can look forward to amore reli-able and resilient power distribution net-work thanks to an upgrade of council’s soft-ware system.Its Electricity Services Department is in
the process of improving and expanding thesystem to restore power quickly, safely andefficiently during outages.The upgrade includes the implementation
of an outage management system which en-
sures reduced time frames for repairs, betterworkflow management, and improved out-age communication, the City of Cape Townsays in a statement.International software supplier Ventyx
will provide the system, which will have theability to send SMSes to customers beforethey are impacted by a pre-planned outage– provided their details are up to date. It canalso identify meter numbers and locations
without having to capture the data, and re-late this to a customer’s name and addresson the customer information system. It willalso be able to predict the restoration timeand measure the period from when a faultoccurred to restoration time for quality con-trol purposes. Furthermore, it has the abili-ty to disseminate real-time outage status up-dates, council officials say.“The department operates in a challeng-
ing environment of large-scale urbanisationand faces massive growth, which increasesthe demand on infrastructure,” says Mayor-al Committee member for Utility ServicesErnest Sonnenberg. “The software imple-mentationwill help us to address challengesthrough our energy-saving and demandmanagement programmes, of which theVentyx integratednetworkcontrol system isa key component.”
More than 15 000 Implanon de-vices have been distributed tofacilities across Cape Town.And now the stock is being
boosted following an increasein the demand.Since the introduction of the
contraceptive in February, CityHealth has trained nearly 200staff on the insertion technique.The device provides contra-
ception for women for threeyears after insertion.The device is a rod that is in-
serted under the skin with apre-loaded applicator.A trained practitioner makes
a small incision in the upperarm to insert it.It stays there, releasing a pro-
gesterone-like hormone for upto three years to prevent preg-nancy, says Mayoral Commit-tee member for Health Benedic-ta Van Minnen.“This method of contracep-
tiondiffers from themore estab-
lished methods in that womendonot have to remember to takea pill every day or return for aninjection every few months. Itgives them more control overtheir health, well-being and re-productive choices, especiallywomen for whom unplannedpregnancy is undesirable or ahealth risk,” she says. “Howev-er, it is important to note thatwhile the device protectsagainst pregnancy, like othercontraceptive methods, womenmust still take the necessaryprecautions to prevent sexuallytransmitted infections.”The device is free to clients at
public health facilities. Side ef-fects are rare and generallymild, with only a small percent-age of women requiring remov-al of the device. “For womenwho wish to conceive, fertilityis restored within twoweeks af-ter the removal of the device,”Van Minnen says.

Sights set on dirty crooksA new refuse bin tagging system couldsave millions in rates.The City of Cape Town is currently fit-
ting all 24l wheelie bins with electronictags tohelpmonitor service delivery andrecover stolen infrastructure.The initiative to fit wheelie bins with
identification tags was done to ensuremore efficient service provision and rev-enue accuracy.The tags will allow the City tomonitor
each bin serviced and to identify binsthat are lost, stolen or illegally servicedwithout being City property.Mayoral Committee member for Utili-
ty Services Ernest Sonnenberg says theCity services in excess of 800 000 wheeliebins each week and this service is pro-vided by means of personnel.Trucks and wheelie bins are serviced
at a cost of almost R1b a year.In rendering the service, virtually eve-
ry public street in the entire municipalarea is serviced each week.“The tagging of bins will allow for the
service of each individual bin to bemon-itored. This will provide the means to
improve operational efficiency and ef-fectiveness in managing labour, vehi-cles and services because the date, time,and location of each bin lifted will be re-corded,” he says.The project will be managed by an ex-
ternal service provider, namely RAMMTechnologies. “RAMM Technologieshas been appointed by the solid wastemanagement department’s collectionsand drop-offs branch to perform therefuse bin identification exercise. It willsee numerous crews, consisting ofRAMM contracted staff, movingthroughout the city in various suburbsover the next couple of months.”These crews will be tagging each indi-
vidual refuse bin in order to compile ageo-database of all the City’s mobilerefuse bins. For the public to easily iden-tify these crews, RAMM crew memberswill be required to carry an identifica-tion card containing the City of CapeTown logo, photograph of the crewmem-ber’s face, member’s surname, firstname/s aswell asRAMMoperations’ tel-ephone number.

Drive for new metered taxi planNICOLE MCCAIN
@nikcymccain
Putting the brakes on il-legal metered taxis,high fares and poor
services are the aims of anew strategy by council toregulate the metered taxiindustry.A new bylaw is being de-
veloped to bring significantchanges to metered taxis’pick-up conditions and alsoset minimum service stand-ards.The bylaw will also gov-
ern electronic paymentswith debit or credit cards,and e-hailing – the use of an e-hailing appli-cation to book a metered taxi and othermodes of public transport such as charterand tourist services, saysCity ofCapeTownMayoral Committee member for TransportBrett Herron.“The moratorium on the issuing of new
operating licences for the metered taxi in-dustry will be lifted onMonday 1 Decemberand all new applications will be dealt within terms of the new strategy. This transi-tion will not happen overnight but over aperiod of three years to enable the industryand the City to adapt accordingly,” he says.Illegal operators will be provided with a
window period to legalise their operationsby applying for an operating licence as abase operator, Herron says.The City is aiming to increase the
number of metered taxis on the road, SportTaxi general manager Ayub Baker be-lieves, through legalising current illegal op-erators.“The impact on the industry will bemore
taxis on the road and a smaller slice of analready competitive pie. More taxis areneeded during peak times but what hap-pens in the winter months when thingsslow down considerably?” he queries.“Between car rental companies’ point to
point services and the take-me-home serv-ices, we already face significant competi-tion. The City has not indicated whetherthey will put a limit on the number of oper-ating licences they would be approving.”A maximum fare per kilometre will be
specified, with aminimum charge for shortdistances and a waiting time charge in thenew bylaw. Flat fares will be introduced fortrips from the airport to main destinationsin the city and approved rates will be dis-played on the vehicle and sealed in the me-ter, Herron explains.Marine Taxi Cabs spokesperson Fiona
Herman says research needs to be carriedout before the bylaw is implemented.“Before setting fares, it would be advisa-
ble to call on qualified engineers to discuss
the operational costs of a vehicle and thenadd the cost of the infrastructure of runninga metered taxi company along with the op-erational costs,” she says.“In order for all of us to boost Cape
Town’s tourism industry, we have nochoice but to continuously upgrade ourfleet. This costs money which should be re-covered by our fares, but that may not bepossible if fares are regulated in such awayas to prohibit growth.”Baker says fare regulations are needed.“It will result in the public better under-
standing the industry bymaking it simplerto use and understand. The view that tariffsare high is unfounded, given that rates perkilometre have only increased by R2 in thelast 10 years,” he says.Taxis will have to be replaced after eight
years according to the new bylaw and oper-ators will be incentivised to provide wheel-chair-accessible taxis.Metered taxiswill al-so no longer be constrained by a pick-up ra-dius, but allowed to pick up and drop offpassengers anywhere in the city, Herronsays.This will enable taxi operators to provide
a service in any area where a demand aris-es, Baker explains. “This will potentiallyresult in the development of new meteredtaxi markets,” he says.It is envisaged that the necessary policies
and bylaws will be developed during thecurrent financial year, that the new farestructurewill be piloted in 2015/16, and thatthe other changes will follow thereafter.“The City is convinced that these new
terms will allow the metered taxi industryto flourish and to run their businessesmorecost effectively. We want to grow the indus-try with compliant operators who in turnwill play their part in creating more jobsand improving their service to residentsand visitors,” Herron says.But Baker counters: “TheCitywanting to
change the way metered taxis operate iswishful thinking, as they don’t have a clueon how to operate a metered taxi fleet.”

Rimmers to take one step at a timeDUDLEY CARSTENS
Walking across an entire country isunthinkable to many.Yet, this is exactly what Kenil-
worth resident Dean Rimmers plans to dowhen he starts his 12-day solo walk acrossLesotho on Thursday 18 December.Rimmers, the brain behind the Get Out-
side Campaign which “aims to illustrate theidea that a life of adventure is not a thingof the past”, believes being outdoors re-ener-gises the body.He tells People’s Post: “I grew up in a very
outdoor-oriented family and have been hik-ing, camping and climbing since I can re-
member. I have always been inclined tospend time outdoorswhenever I can and feelthat there is a growing trend in the oppositedirection – people of all ages are more andmore likely to find their entertainment in-doors.He describes being outdoors as “magic”.
“There is amagic inbeingoutdoors that goesbeyond entertainment and enjoyment; thetimewe spend innature re-energises us, qui-ets the mind and gives us some perspectiveon our problems that we face in our day-to-day lives,” Rimmers says.“There is so much scope for healthy and
exciting adventure in our amazing countryand I am passionate about making that evi-
dent.”Rimmers, though, is fully aware of the
dangers he may face on his walk.“The main danger is that I will be alone
for the most part – if not all – of the planned12-day journey,” he explains.“Anything that arises, small or big, must
be dealt with on my own. The usual hikinginjuries such as a twisted ankle or an in-jured lower back could turn into a very diffi-cult situation if I am in a remote and moun-tainous area.“Carrying all the food I will need over the
12 days also means it is likely that I will beeating small, nutrient densemeals, but quitefrankly I am not sure how I will feel energy-
wise after aweekandmore of hard effort andlittle food.”His daily journeywill be a 30kmhike – the
distance from Newlands Rugby Stadium toSimon’s Town, he says. It will be acrossmountainous land.“Cellphone reception is iffy at best and re-
covery could be difficult,” Rimmers says.“That said, I am in no rush on the hike and
will be able to stay within my limits andhopefully maintain the concentration need-ed to keep healthy.”V Rimmers will document his walk on his Facebookpage www.facebook.com/getoutsidecampaign. Youcan also visit his website www.getoutsidecampaign.com.
