PROBLEM BUILDING

A haven for criminalsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymcccain

Community organisations are attempt-ing to have a derelict building in SaltRiver declared a problem property, af-

ter vandalismhas seen the building strippedto the core.Although the building falls outside both

the Maitland and Salt River improvementdistricts, Maitland City Improvement Dis-tric manager Gene Lohrentz says the build-ing needs to be classified as a problem prop-erty by the City of Cape Town.The Voortrekker Road building, on the

border betweenSaltRiver andMaitland, hasbeen empty for some time and vandalismand stripping of the building have flour-ished over the last few months, Lohrentzsays.“The stripping started sporadically for a

fewmonths now but suddenly it acceleratedin the last two to three months,” he says.“The area has been in a downward spiral

for some time and the urban decay is evi-dent. Bin scratchers break scrap on the side-walks daily and leave all their discarded lit-ter right there. They also destroy kerbstonesand the surfaces of the sidewalks in the proc-ess. I have many photos and even videos ofthis.”MaitlandCommunity Police Forumchair-

personCharnell Southgate says the buildinghas been a concern to the organisation forover a year, following criminal incidents atthe site.“It’s a concern because our mandate is to

prevent crime. We need to act before any-thing more serious takes place there,” shesays.Illegal dumping also occurs there fre-

quently, Lohrentz says, and the no-man’sland is breeding lawlessness.“The demolished buildings send a mes-

sage of an unmanaged area to all and invitemore people to act outside the law. We evenhave a business that collects water from thecanal in wheelie bins every day and then us-es it to wash cars in the public roads,” hesays.Transnet Engineering spokesperson Lin-

delwa Steto says the property belongs to thePassenger Rail Association of South Africa(Prasa). However, Prasa referred the en-quiry back to Transnet, saying Transnetowns the property.

Southgate has called for the property own-ers to release their plans for the site.“We need the owners to tell us if they are

going to rebuild or if the site needs to be de-molished,” she says.

Lohrentz maintains the building has to besecured to prevent illegal activity spillingover into Maitland. “The properties shouldbe declared problem buildings under theProblemBuildings Bylaw of the City of Cape

Town and then the owners should be forcedto secure the properties,” he maintains.Executive director for Safety and Security

Richard Bosman says the City is followingup on the matter.

HERITAGE

D6 – 20 years laterThe District Six Museum this month cel-

ebrates two decades of opening itsdoors as a memorial to a decimated

community.Known as a city within a city, District Six

was considered the soul of Cape Town, saysa statement. Its bustling streets, diverse andcolourful residents and deep sense of com-munity are engrained in the memory ofthose who once lived there.

“InFebruary 1966 itwasdeclaredawhites-only area under the Group Areas Act. By1982, the life of this vibrant community wasover.”

More than 60 000 people were forcibly re-moved and the buildings were flattened bybulldozers, the statement reads.

In honour of its 20th birthday, the muse-um will pay tribute to and celebrate the oncevibrant community by reflecting on 20 ob-jects, places and people which “truly epito-mise life in the former District Six”.

These are:. The Van Kalker Studio – Proudly hang-

ing above the family mantelpiece, the all-fa-miliar sight of a Van Kalker photographcould be found in the homes ofmanyDistrictSix residents. The Van Kalker studio in Vic-toria Street became a routine visit for spe-cial events like birthdays, weddings, gradu-ations and christenings.

. Waentjies – To get their fresh produce,residents looked no further than the localfruit and vegetable seller ”waentjies”, whowould set up shop on Hanover Street.

. Fish horn – The nasal sound of fishhorns signalled the day’s fresh catch. Withfish piled high, residents would flock to thepungent Fish Market (“vismarkie”) to gettheir share.

. Hanover Street – Dubbed ”the hub” ofDistrict Six, Hanover Street was the placewhere you could acquire anything and eve-rything.

. Peninsula Maternity Hospital – Situat-

ed between Constitution, Primrose, Caledonand Mount streets, this hospital is wherethousands of District Six residents wereborn.

. Seven Steps – For anyone who lived inthe old District Six, the Seven Steps is a pow-erful symbol of their heritage. To work,home, school, play, church, mosque, shop,celebrate and mourn, these steps carriedthousands of residents on their way.

. Bioscopes – Going to local bioscopes ona Saturday afternoon was a regular treat forresidents and occupied a special position inthe recreational life of the community. TheAvalon, Star, National and the British Bio-scopes doubled as venues for beauty pag-eants, talent shows and musicals.

. Crescent Café – People journeyed fromfar and wide to sample the curry at Mr Kath-rada’s Crescent Cafe in Hanover Street.

. Beinkinstadt – Judaica bookstore – Inits early years, The Beinkinstadt Jewishbookstore was a meeting place for the localJews who, on Friday evenings, would con-gregate there to enjoy the heimishe ‘openhouse’ hospitality of ownersMosheandOlgaBeinkinstadt.

. Kewpie – District Six was legendary forits gay community in the 1950s and Kewpie,the local drag queen, became a figureheadfor District Six’s vibrant characters.

. Koe’sisters – Food played a central rolein the lives of the District Six community.The traditional koe’sister, a delicious spiceddoughnut dipped in syrup and rolled in drycoconut, remains a Sunday morning treatamong District Sixers.

. Fah-fee – Fafi or fa-fi (pronounced fah-fee) was a popular betting game played inDistrict Six, and has been described as the“poor man’s roulette”.

. Richard Rive – Rive was a former resi-dent and the well-known writer of the ac-claimed Buckingham Palace.

. Lydia Williams – Affectionately known

as ‘Ou Tamelytjie’, Williams was a formerslave woman who settled in District Six. Sheestablished a school in the area and was afounding member of St Philip’s AnglicanChurch.

. May Abrahamse – Abrahamse startedsinging at age 14 and went on to become oneof SouthAfrica’smost prolific opera singers.With her talent and support from the EoanGroup – a theatre and dance group – sheplayed leading soprano roles inLaTraviata,La Boheme and Madame Butterfly.

. Globe Gang – The Globes – one of themost notorious gangs ofDistrict Six – initial-ly started out as a vigilante group, takingtheir name from the Globe Furnishing Com-pany.

. Music of District Six – The music of Dis-trict Six is legendary…one of the leadinglights of Cape jazz was Dollar Brand (laterknown as Abdullah Ibrahim) who, with hisJazz Epistles, recorded the first jazz LP byblack South African musicians.

. TheRose andCrown–One cannot forgetthe many pubs of District Six. The Rose andCrown was a particular hot spot in HanoverStreet.

. Horse Drawn Carriages – There werethe horse-drawn wedding parades to lookforward to on weekends, where little girlswould eagerly anticipate the beautiful wed-ding parades that took place most Sundays.

. Malay and Christmas Choirs and klopse– On Christmas and New Year’s Eve, resi-dents would prepare to stay up through thenight to watch the Malay and ChristmasChoirs proceed from Tennant Street to Cale-don Street, up Wale Street and ending at theGrandParade,where theklopsewouldbegincelebrations well into New Year’s evening.

Visitors are encouraged to book a person-alised tour through the museum with aformer resident ofDistrict Six, for a truly au-thentic experience.V For more information visit www.districtsix.co.za.

Plans for safer intersectionNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

In a bid to reduce congestion andpromote pedestrian safety, aR500 000 project may see the re-

vamp of the intersection betweenKei Apple and Regent roads.The Sea Point intersection is

plagued by congestion since theimplementation of the MyCiTi busroute, says ward councillorJacques Weber.Sea Point City Improvement Dis-

trict CEO Heather Tager says con-gestion and traffic flow are “com-pletely out of hand” along thestretch of road.Taxis compound the problem by

stopping illegally, she adds, and anumber of accidents have takenplace in the last year and pedestri-ans have been knocked over.To prevent any more accidents,

council plans to install a new set oftraffic lights and a pedestriancrossing, Weber says.“There have been preliminary

discussions to change the trafficlights within this section of road.Due to the integration of theMyCi-Ti bus route and general conges-tion around this area, it was pro-posed that this becomes a three-way traffic intersection,” he pointsout.However, details for the planned

changes have not been finalised, as“the drawings and planning arestill in process”, Weber says.The draft proposal has an esti-

mated cost of R500 000, but may

change depending on the final de-sign.Sea Point, Fresnaye and Bantry

Bay Ratepayers’ Associationspokesperson Derek Salter saysthe intersection, at the developedThe Point shopping centre has be-come increasingly busy.“It is also a junction used byMy-

CiTi bus routes and the changeswill help to manage the traffic flowin that area and incorporate a pe-destrian phase with the robots in-stead of having a separate pedestri-an crossing,” he says.“The association welcomes the

plans, whichwe are convincedwillhelp improve traffic flow in the ar-

ea and reduce the bottlenecks thathavehappened there at busy times.This should benefit all – whethermotorists, public transport usersor pedestrians.”Weber hopes the changes will

make the intersection safer.“It should assist with the con-

gested area andwecould see thepe-

destrian crossingmovinga fewme-tres from its current spot.“I am always concerned about

this particular pedestrian cross-ing, as often vehicles coming downKei Apple Road do not notice thatthe lights are red and then driveover the pedestrian crossing,” hesays.

MUNICIPALITY

Don’t ask for‘gifts’ – Citywarns workersThis may be the season of giving, but

council is warning residents not togive donations to its personnel.

According to a City of Cape Town state-ment, its Solid Waste Management De-partment enforces a policy which forbidsits staff fromsoliciting “Christmas boxes”and they have been reminded of the prohi-bition of the practise.“However, if residents believe excellent

service has been provided, they are at lib-erty to give a voluntary donation to staffas a gesture of thanks and goodwill,” saysMayoral Committee member for UtilityServices Ernest Sonnenberg.“Under no circumstances may resi-

dents be approachedandasked formoney;City staff are appropriately remunerat-ed.”If residents are intimidated by staffers,

they are encouraged to report the incidentto the City’s call centre on 0860 103 089.Callers must provide the date, time, placeand the vehicle’s registration number.Refuse collection services will remain

in operation during the festive season,even on public holidays. “As there will beless traffic on the roads during theholidayperiod, collection teamsmight arrive ear-lier than usual. Therefore, it is best thatresidents place their bins out before 06:00during this time,” Sonnenberg advises.Drop-off facilities will be closed on

Christmas (Thursday 25 December) andNew Year’s days (Thursday 1 January);only the Hout Bay facility will be opera-tional from 07:00 until 17:00 on these days.Amended operating hours of 08:00 until17:00 will be in place at the other facilitiesduring the festive season.

Town’s diverse people and shared heritageand will be open daily from 16:00 to 23:00.It will offer an array of goods, culinary de-

lights and entertainment.Last year the market boasted about

200 000 visitors from all walks of life – morethan double the number of visitors in theprevious year.Market-goers can expect approximately

200 vendors this year, selling a wide rangeof products including home and decor,clothing and accessories, Christmas goods,arts and crafts, food and beverages, freshproduce and health and beauty products.Preference has again been given to locallyproduced goods.The entertainment onoffer includeskara-

oke, stand-up comedy and up-and-comingperforming artists.Cape Town has seen an explosion of new

markets in recent years, but none can boastthe setting and convenient location of thismarket.

SAFETY TIPS

Secure yourpropertythis holidayNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The festive season brings with it an in-flux of holiday-makers to spots such asthe beaches, promenade, swimming

pool, urban park, clubs and hotels. Howev-er, during the festivities, it’s important toremain on guard against criminals.Sea Point police spokesperson WarrantOfficer Bheki Xulu says crimes like theft,robberies and fraud pick up during the sea-son.The best way to guard against these areto keep a watchful eye over your personalbelongings, he warns.“Peoplemust take care of their handbags,cellphones and cameras. When going out atnight, avoid taking unnecessary itemswithyou and walking alone during the earlyhours of the morning. Leave lights on in-side your house, as well as a TV or radio.Conceal your cellphone in public. Don’tleave handbags under tables, on the backsof chairs or on restroom hooks and keepyour credit card in sight at all times,” headvises.Camps Bay Police Station commanderDelicia Isaacs says residents should be cau-tious when in public spaces.Residents must ensure their cellphones,laptops and bags are not left unattendedwhen visiting beaches and restaurants.

Double check that your vehicles are lockedand secured beforewalking away,” she cau-tions.Additional home security measures willalso safeguard you from burglars, Isaacssays. “Ensure that access doors are locked,even when at home. When going out, makesure that a light is left on towards yourdriveway or entrance way. Trim trees thatblock or obscure the view to your frontdoor,” she says.Cape Town Central police spokespersonCaptain Ezra October agrees: “When goingout at night, light the area surroundingyour premises. When entering your drive-way rather reverse your vehicle in to giveyou a getaway in case something happens.”Take extra precautions if you are goingon holiday, October says.“When going on holiday, please notifyyour neighbours or get someone to look af-ter your premises. At every police stationthere is a register of empty houses whichevery shift should visit,” he says.Ensure your home is properly securewhile you’re away, Isaacs says.“Make sure burglar alarms are engagedand your security company is aware thatthere will be no one at home. Limit thenumber of persons who have access toalarm codes. Leave your contact detailswith neighbours. In the event somethingsuspicious is noted you can be contacted.”

Going back in timeThe latest scientific evidence shows that thefirstmodern humans lived at the coast on thesouthern tip of Africa from around 200 000years ago. The archaeological records at thePoint of Human Origin show the first evi-dence of cognitive human development, ear-ly nuclear family life, and human traits that

we associate with modern humans today.Starting at about 100 000 years ago, we see abig shift in human consciousness in therecords that indicate knowledge of basicchemistry, jewellery and art. In partnershipwith Wavescape, Pick n Pay, WWF-Sassi,ART54 and provincial government, the exhi-bition takes place from December 2014 toApril 2015.

Keeping our children safeChild safety should be at the forefront ofadults’ priorities this festive season.This is according to a statement from the

City of Cape Town, as it encourages parentsand guardians to be extra vigilant over theholiday period. In recent weeks, there has

already been a number of reports of chil-dren disappearing, child abuse and neglect,it states.Furthermore, council’s social develop-

ment department urges parents to not instila sense of trust by introducing their chil-dren to people whom they themselves arenot that familiar with.Parents must always know where their

children are; ensuring they are supervisedby a responsible caregiver; teach them notto go anywhere with strangers; ensure chil-dren know their friends and where theylive; have current photographs of childrenin the event that they go missing; and in-form the police as soon as they suspect achild is missing.“I want to call on communities to keep an

eye on one another’s children and to makechild safety your business,” says SuzetteLittle, Mayoral Committee member for So-cial Development and Early Childhood De-velopment.“A fewweeks ago, we had a reported case

of a child who suffered such severe abuseat the hands of her parents that she endedup in hospital. According to the report, theneighbours finally acted when theycouldn’t stand it anymore, which meansthat theyknew the childwas being abused.”Little adds that the department is cur-

rently rolling out services such as advicecentres and assistance from social workersat its district offices.V Report child abuse to the police or the City’s PublicEmergency Communication Centre on 107 from alandline or (021) 480 7700.

RESCUE SERVICES

Boost for firefightersFire andRescueServices has beenboost-

ed with the delivery of two hi-tech fireengines.

The trucks, purchased by theCity of CapeTown at a cost of R3m, are expected to bol-ster response times, especially during thefire season.A first for South Africa, the vehicles’ de-

sign will allow firefighters to negotiate ur-ban and rural terrain with ease.It has GPS functionality, tiptronic gear-

boxes, ample space for equipment and per-sonnel and telescopic lights.Furthermore, its pumpsproducebothwa-

ter and foam, and can operate without apump operator.In addition, the vehicles feature an auto-

matic shutdown when the tank is full, aswell as a tank level indicator.“These vehicles offer us so much more in

terms of accessibility and features, whichmeans that one vehicle can now do whatpreviously required the use of two vehiclesbecause of design limitations.“Sowe can look forward to saving on both

resources and manpower,” says JP Smith,Mayoral Committee member for Safety andSecurity.“When you consider that we spent a little

over R2m on a fire engine four years ago,we really are getting value for money withthe new acquisitions.“There is a huge expectation of our fire-

fighters [at] this time of year and we are do-ing everything possible to equip them to

save lives and properties.”Since the commencement of fire season

last month, more than 1 000 vegetation fireshave been reported, while al total of 47 blaz-es have been reported in informal settle-ments since the beginning of the month.These fires have claimed six lives and 218

structures were destroyed.These statistics are lower than those of

the same period last year.During this period in 2013, there were 56

fires, 358 structures affected and eight fatal-ities andwhile it is less this year, it remainsa concern.Therefore, the council urges residents to

be extra vigilant about fire safety and tonever leave open flames unsupervised,while non-essential appliances should al-ways be switched off and unplugged duringload shedding.“We recently responded to a house fire

where the occupants indicated that thecause may have been a hair straightenerthat had been left on when the electricitywent off. When the power supply was re-stored, it is believed the device overheatedand resulted in the fire,” Smith explains.“So I reallywould like to use this as a cau-

tionary tale and remind residents to makesure that all non-essential appliances areswitched off and unplugged, not just whenthere is anelectricitydisruption, but ingen-eral.“Not only does it reduce the risk of fire,

but also saves on electricity usage.”

It’s all aboutthe BayDUDLEY CARSTENS

In only three seasons, False Bay RugbyClub have gone from Super League B con-tenders to participants in the Western

Province/Boland regional CommunityChallenge.In their first year back in Western Prov-

ince’s Super League A, Bay secured fifthplace on the log this tear and booked them-selves a spot in the regional tournamentnext year. They will be joined by Belhar, SKWalmers, Primrose and a team from thePaarl Region to represent Western Provinceagainst the best teams from Boland.Baywill face Vredenburg in their opening

fixture of the tournament on Saturday 14February, while last season’s winners Dur-banville-Bellville will not be there to defendtheir crown as theywill compete in theCom-munity Cup tournament.While Bay will be one of the favourites to

mount a serious challenge for the trophy, thetournament will also provide them the op-portunity of testing their depth before next

year’s league season kicks off.Speedy winger Taalieb Johnson tells Peo-

ple’s Post: “It will be a good time to test thedepth at the club and to give guys [fringeplayers or youngsters coming through the‘system’] a shot at playing in league. Theguys have put in a lot of effort [over the off-season] and we will start playing friendlymatches in January already.”Personally, Johnson says he wants to find

“form heading into the league” when play-ing in the Community Challenge.Meanwhile, this year’s Shield finalists SK

Walmers will tackle Never Despair in theiropening encounter, while Primrosewill facelast season’s runners-upHawston in a trickytie.Belhar, who finished a respectable sev-

enth in the WP Super League this year, willface Roses in the opening round.Theopening roundof fixtures onSaturday

14 February: Vredenburg v False Bay; Rosesv Belhar; Saldanha v Paarl Region team;Never Despair v SK Walmers; and Hawstonv Primrose.

Unsporting behaviourTASMIN CUPIDO

Sports facilities across the Cape are fall-ing prey to acts of brazen vandalismand theft.

A total of 55 sports complexes have beenvandalised and burgled from April to lastmonth. A staggering 217 incidents have beenreported during this period, the City of CapeTown confirms.

And sports clubs and Municipal FacilityManagement Committees are calling on theCity to step up security at its facilities, asthey fear the continuous criminal activitiesmay stifle and end operations and play at theorganisations and facilities.

Bennet Bailey, chairperson of the RygateLocal Football Association (LFA) whichcalls Johnson Road Sports Complex in Ry-lands its home, says vandals stripped the fa-cility to its core in the first week of October– only a couple of weeks after the end of thefootball season. He claims the damage in-curred as a result of the vandalism amountsto R200 000, a cost which they cannot cover.

“The interior of the clubhouse wasstripped bare; all the cabling and wiring wasremoved. The wiring of the floodlights wasalso removed and the electricity box was re-moved and damaged,” Bailey explains.

Similarly, chairperson of the Metropoli-tan LFA Wayne Weitz says the Metropolitan

Sports Complex in Bonteheuwel was hit atthe end of October. As a result of the inci-dent, which saw the facility stripped to re-semble a shell, the organisation had in-curred the extra expense of having to replacethe trophies and medals for its annualprizegiving days before the event.

“Everything was fine during the seasonexpect for the odd burglary, but when theseason ended and there was less activity atthe facility, the criminals pounced,” he says.

“The MFMC is constantly reminded thatit is not the owner of the facility, but onlythe custodians. Yet the owner, the City,doesn’t take responsibility for its assets.”

In local sporting circles, Weitz adds, therehas been talk of several facilities being van-dalised over the last couple of months.“There was a time when security guardswere placed at the facility, but they informedus their contract had come to an end and thatwas the end of security,” he explains.

“The City spends millions [on] upgradesand maintaining facilities, so I believe theyshould protect it or the work will be useless.”People’s Post has previously reported on

the burglary and vandalism of several sportsfacilities across the peninsula over the lastcouple of months. These include the StephanReagan, Rocklands and Strandfonteinsports complexes and Swartklip IndoorSports Centre in Mitchell’s Plain, the Hoos-ain Parker Sports Complex in Parkwood and

the Johnson Road Sports Complex.Furthermore, People’s Post’s sister publi-

cation TygerBurger has reported on inci-dents at the Wesbank Sports Complex, Dur-banville Sports Complex and RuyterwachtSports Complex, while its other sister publi-cation City Vision reported on an incident atthe Gugulethu and Philippi swimmingpools. Incidents of burglary and vandalismwere also reported at clubhouses at Kraai-fontein Sports Complex.

Despite the reported number of incidents,the City says it cannot provide continuoussecurity presence at the its public open spac-es and facilities.

Mayoral Committee member for Commu-nity Services and Special Projects, BelindaWalker, says a “limited budget” of R36m wasallocated for security in the Sport, Recrea-tion and Amenities Department budget.

“The department has had to rationalisethe use of security personnel at some of itsfacilities to remain within the allocatedbudget in the current financial year for secu-rity services,” she says.

“The department manages a large numberof public facilities across the city and hasidentified hotspots where facilities are par-ticularly vulnerable to theft and vandalism– security personnel will be present at thesefacilities. It is closely monitoring these facil-ities to find the most effective and financial-ly sustainable options for securing them

against theft and vandalism.”But human presence in the form of securi-

ty guards may not be the only option, Walkeradds, as the City has invested considerablywith the erection of fences and installationof alarms. It is also working to establish part-nerships with community organisationssuch as neighbourhood watches to assistthem in deterring theft and vandalism at fa-cilities.

The City has spent R4,8m on repairs andreplacing items at facilities which have fall-en victim to theft and vandalism, Walkerconfirms. “This is money that could havebeen put to better use to either upgrade thesefacilities or provide additional facilities inareas where there are limited or no sportand recreation facilities,” she says.

“Now, more than ever, we need our com-munities to work in collaboration with usand take ownership of their recreationalspaces. We urge residents to report any sus-picious behaviour immediately.”
