The family of a nine-year-old boywho drowned in a stormwater pipein Asanda Village, Lwandle a weekago is still struggling to come toterms with their loss.

According to the Lwandle police,Grant Blaauw was reported missing onSunday 17 November.

Llewellyn Blaauw, the boy’s father,last saw his son on Saturday afternoonat about 18:00 as he was about to visithis grandmother who also lives in Asan-da Village.

“I became worried when he had notreturned home at 20:00 and went to lookfor him,” said Blaauw.

Family and friends soon joined in andspent the night searching for Grant.

Grant’s mother, Elizabeth Blaauwsaid the Monday after her son wentmissing, a neighbour of Grant’s grand-mother in Mbhele Street said that hehad last seen Grant playing at a nearbystream where he was standing on top ofa stormwater pipe.

Constable Mthokosizi Gama, spokes-person for the Lwandle police said thesearch was intensified with the help ofpolice dogs and Grant’s body was foundjust before 16:00 on Monday. It had

washed out about 500 metres further ina canal at the end of Nonceba Street.

“I heard people talking about a bodyof a child that had been found and wenttoinvestigate,”recalledhismotherEliz-abeth Blaauw with the Helderberg Ga-zette’s visit to the family on Friday.

“When my I saw my husband crying,I knew that it was Grant. I was shockedand just collapsed,” she said.

Elizabeth was nine months pregnantat the time of the incident and her babywas due in the weeks to come.

Grant, who has three sisters, was so

excited about his new baby brother andanticipated the birth, she said.

Llewellyn says Grant rushed homeeveryday in the hope that the baby hadbeen born.

“’Daddy,Daddy,where’sMommy?’hewould ask everyday as he went lookingfor her in the house,” said Llewellyn.

Elizabeth says the shock must havecausedhertogointo labourthedayafterher son’s body was found.

She gave birth to her baby at homeon Tuesday 19 November.

“We have decided to name him HiltonGrant Blaauw,” said Elizabeth.

Llewellyn and Elizabeth describetheir son as a quiet, loving boy wholoved the Popeye cartoon and MichaelJackson’s dancing. “He was looking for-ward to a pair of grasshoppers (shoes)or a bicycle for Christmas - now we willspend it without him,” said Elizabeth.

Naomi Ferreira, principal of the Ter-eo Community School in Somerset Westwhere Grant was a Grade 2-pupil, saida memorial service for him was held atthe school on Friday.

“He was a loving child of whom hisfriends were very fond,” she said addingthat he would have received an awardfor veniality at their school’s annualprizegiving on 3 December.

At the time of going to print funeralarrangements had not been finalised.

Local townships to be reorganisedDALEEN FOUCHÉ

Four local informal settlements in theHelderberg have been chosen to be reor-ganised and re-blocked in the next finan-cial year.

Vlakteplaas, Greenfields, Ethembeni inStrand and Uitkyk in Sir Lowry’s Pass havebeen identified by the City of Cape Town tobe re-blocked.Re-blocking is a community-based process

whereby housing structures are reorganisedor clustered so the extreme density in infor-mal settlements is decreased.Johan Middleton, councillor for the Sir

Lowry’s Pass Village, says the process willmake informal settlementsnot only safer, butalso more convenient for the community andthe City.He says this is especially important in situ-

ations like the recent floods and stressed thatre-blocking is not a displacement of people.The City recently adopted a policy which

outlines the criteria for viable re-blockingprojects, the preventative measures to be in-stalled in the re-blocking project, alignmentwith different government departments, andvery importantly, the governance interfacebetween the City, communities and support-ive NGOs.Five re-blocking projects are planned for

the current financial year, and 21 projects,including the four local informal settlementsare planned for thenext financial year. Thereare currently 204 informal settlement areasin the City, varying in size and density.Councillor TandekaGqada, theCity’sMay-

oral Committee Member for Human Settle-

ments says the organic form of informal set-tlements often makes it difficult to providemunicipal utility services such aswater, san-itation, electricity access and waste removalwithin the required national guidelines.Informal settlements are also at a greater

risk of the effects of disasters like fires andflooding. “The layout and the density of thesesettlements makes it very difficult for the

City to respond effectively to fires.”How it works:) Community and non-profit organisa-

tions (NPOs) consult communities in identi-fied areas beforehand to determine whetherthe prospective beneficiaries would like re-blocking in their area.

) If communities agree to re-blocking, amemorandum of understanding for the effec-

tive implementation of re-blocking is signedbetween all stakeholders.

) A project steering committee is appoint-ed comprising representatives fromall stake-holder groupings.

) The Human Settlements Directorate’sInformal Settlements Department, in part-nership with the community partner, com-piles a settlement profile by undertaking acomprehensive survey of the area and house-holds are registered.

) NPOs and community partners, with in-put fromtheCity, developanoverall re-block-ing plan.

) The project steering committee submitsan application for grant funding to the City’sproject review committee – this includesfunding for earthworks, municipal engineer-ing services, and relocationkits to assist resi-dents while the re-blocking is underway.

) NPOs and the City assist in taking downthe housing structures and moving the bene-ficiaries. NPOs pay for part of the structureand the City funds the relocation kits.

) To encourage a sense of ownership andshared responsibility, beneficiaries areasked to contribute 10% of the cost of the topstructure. If some beneficiaries are not ableto contribute, help is provided by the partnerorganisations.

) The City is responsible for the earth-works and installation of services, which in-clude: toilets, wash troughs and taps, electri-cal connections where applicable, and refuseremoval. These earthworks and servicescome at no cost to the beneficiaries.Gqada saysmany communities are already

saving money through stokvels in support ofre-blocking.

Western Province Athletics Club, inassociationwithVitalHealth Foods,hope to see even more entrants than

the 4 300 who turned up for lastyear’s event.Sad news however is that theVital

Run will be held on the LourensfordWine Estate for the last time thisyear.This is due to the estate’s decision

that fewer events of this nature willbe staged on the estate as of nextyear.Participants can enter the 21 km

run, the 10 kmrun, 10 kmwalkor thefun 4 km run or walk.The 21 km and 10 km races are

day (Monday), but late entries willbe accepted on the morning of therun between 05:00 and 06:15 at thevenue. As there is only one publicaccess road into Lourensford, ath-letes and supporters are urged to ar-rive early to avoid the frustration ofcongestion and traffic buildup be-fore the race.For more information, contact
