TRANSPORT: DISREGARD FOR ROAD RULES

Irked by taxi troublesMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Taxi troubles inWynberg are on the rise.Hooting, speeding and breaking their

routes by using side streets are amongthe concerns highlighted by residents.The affected area is bound by Main, Con-

stantia Main, Alphen Hill and Waterlooroads as well as Church Street.According to the provincial transport de-

partment there are several taxi routeswhichpass through Wynberg using these roads onthe border, but no streets in the residentialarea are allowed to be used.Despite this residents have reported see-

ing taxis taking shortcuts through PiersRoad, BayviewRoad,Wolfe Street andmanyothers.According to Darron Araujo, chairperson

of the Wynberg Residents’ and Ratepayers’Association (WRRA), the issue has beenraised by members.He explains that at the inaugural meeting

of the association held last month, the asso-ciation decided a subcommittee will be es-tablished to handle traffic issues.“The first project of this subcommittee is

to establish dialogue with the taxi associa-tions directly, specifically regarding taxisrunning off-route,” he says.Araujo explains as many of the “off-route

taxis” are often empty, they are often notconsidered as operating.“This is the sticky area for traffic enforce-

ment, but the rules of the road still apply re-garding speeding,” he says.A residentwho askednot to be named says

he often uses the taxi service to travel toWestlake and has seen the rat-run firsthand.He says there is often competition for pas-

sengers between taxis and little regard forsafety.Having seen the issue from both sides, the

residents believe taxi drivers are not awareof the dangers speeding poses.“I have often seen them take shortcuts

through the residential area and after ques-tioning one driver he said therewere no con-sequences for using these streets,” he says.The resident says road signs indicating

that taxis are prohibited from entering thearea are nothing but “street furniture”.On Saturday 10 June between 13:00 and

14:00, People’s Post witnessed several taxis

taking short cuts through Wolfe Street.When approached for comment, taxi driv-

ers declined.Traffic Services spokesperson Richard

Coleman says there is ongoing enforcementby the Public Transport Unit in Wynbergwith themost recent operation on Thursday29 May.Lastmonth therewere 10 taxis impounded

for operating without a licence and operat-ing contrary to the conditions of the licence

in Wynberg.In addition, 35 summonses were also is-

sued for various taxi offences.Coleman says these operations are held

following concerns raised by residents.Araujo says minibus taxis are essential

transport formany SouthAfricans and fulfila need in the economy.“They are here to stay.We need better reg-

ulation and safer driving; and this appliesto all motorists coming through our sub-

urb,” he says.Araujo explains the morning schools’ rat-

run through Orient and Wellington roads isnot only made up of taxis but motorists canalso be seen speeding.He says additional traffic calming is need-

ed to ensure pedestrian and road safetythroughout the suburb – not to simply shiftthe problem to another residential road.V Share your thoughts. Staring with the word “Post”,SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

WYNBERG PARK: PROGRESS MOVING AT SLOW PACE

Empty coffers stifle planMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Funding, vagrants and public participa-tion are the issues which featured atthe inaugural annual meeting of the

Friends of Wynberg Park.The meeting, held at Springfield Convent

School in Wynberg last week, was attendedby residents, committeemembers andotherfriends groups.Chairperson Henk Egberink said follow-

ing the formation of the Friends many diffi-cult issues including funding and participa-tion of park users needed to be tackled.He said as part of the master plan for the

park, emphasis would be placed on improv-ing the ablution and braai facilities.He explained on Heritage Day, also

known as Braai Day, Capetonians came outin their thousands.“It also became apparent that we need a

transport management plan.”Egberink says the community also has

the need for greater participation of parkusers who don’t live in Wynberg.Ward councillor Liz Brunette says she is

pleased with the progress at the park sincethe formation of the group.She said theCity ofCapeTownhad invest-

ed a substantial amount of funds for themaster plan and she looked forward to the

future development of the park.ParkmanagerNtsiki Sigege saidonanav-

erage weekend there were between 700 and1 000 visitors at the park. She highlightedthemain issues affecting the park includingthe lack of entertainment or food outlets,the ablution facilities not being big enough,vagrants and the lack of lighting.“The toilets are an issue andwehave seen

howpeople queue. In addition the toilets arevandalised where the taps and other itemsare stolen,” she said.Sigege said the short term developments

of the park include upgrading braai andplayground facilities, additional toilets andpathways for runners.Commenting onavailable funding, Sigege

explained of the 12 district parks aroundCape Town, Wynberg Park received mini-mal funding.“Much of the funding has gone into other

developments like the Nantes in Athloneand Westridge Gardens in Mitchell’sPlain,” she said.In his report, Egberink said while there

weremany constraints the committee need-ed more input from the community.He explained a rain storm in November

caused damage to the ponds and bridgeswhich highlighted the recommendations inthe master plan. He said while the park re-mained unused in the week the Friends

planned to improve usage by schools, resi-dents and running groups.He also said the use of boomswill help the

parking issue on busy days. But residentslivingnear theparkobjected, saying aboomwas needed closer to their homes.One woman said the biggest problemwas

that the park was open at night and with nobooms near their homes the park was beingused by prostitutes and their clients.Egberink said that issue needed to be

raised with City Parks.Another resident alleged that vagrants

living in the park were linked to criminalactivity in the area. Egberink suggested res-idents contact the Law Enforcement’s Dis-placed Persons Unit (DPU) for assistance.Darron Araujo, chairperson of the Wyn-

berg Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Associa-tion, vouched their support for the park andsuggested alternative solutions for dealingwith vagrancy.“Maybe with the use of the Haven Night

Shelter we should look at assisting thesepeople. Maybe we should find a way to helpre-integrate them into society,” Araujosaid.Brunette said the DPU had previously

tried to assist, but the vagrants were “notinterested in being helped”.V For regular updates of the park visit www.face-book.com/FriendsOfWynbergPark.

FUNERAL ASSISTANCE: ACCOMMODATING THE HOMELESS

Groundworkfor burial policyASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A proposed draft policy aims to providehomeless people with a simple anddignified burial.

The City of Cape Town’s proposed draftpolicy provides a choice of a weekday burialor cremation which is subject to certain cri-teria and conditions.

Belinda Walker, Mayoral Committeemember for the City’s Community Servicesand Special Projects, says it is not a “burialpolicy” or “funeral policy” but a draft poli-cy guideline to provide aid to the destitute.

“The policy is currently in a draft formatand will need to undergo a public participa-tion process before it is adopted as a policyby council,” she says.

Currently the requests for burial or cre-mation of destitute persons are processedand addressed within an established prac-tice, in the absence of an approved policy.

Walker says the proposed policy will for-malise current best practice and allow fora more structured decision-making processand ensure legal compliance.

“The draft policy has a set of qualifyingcriteria with regard to burial or cremationsof destitute persons,” she says.

These include that the deceased did nothave an income greater than the State OldAge Pension or State Disability Pension;the deceased did not have an insurance poli-cy or estate which could be used to pay forthe burial; the deceased died in destitutecircumstances, and no next-of-kin or rela-tive with a legal duty to support the de-ceased, and with sufficient means, is ableto pay for the burial or cremation costs; and

no other person, NGO or welfare organisa-tion can be found to pay for the burial orcremation costs.

The City may exercise its sole discretionto accept an application for a destitute buri-al without compliance of the aforesaid crite-ria to fulfil those obligations.

Walker says advertisement of the draftpolicy is likely to take place in July and willbe available for viewing and public com-ment for 30 days. “The draft policy will beavailable at all public libraries and on theCity’s website,” she says.

No registration is required. “Anyone whodies in destitute circumstances in accord-ance with the said criteria may qualify forassistance with burial or cremation. Home-less people and occupants of old age homesand shelters have all received assistancefrom the City in the past,” she adds.

The public will be made aware of this poli-cy via local subcouncils, clinics, libraries,shelters and old age homes. “The public cansubmit comments on the draft policy dur-ing the public participation process and nodirect fee is required from the public.”

She says the policy will be implementedonly after it has gone through the requiredpublic participation process, all commentsare incorporated, and it has been approvedby council. “We will always endeavour toensure people can bury and mourn theirloved ones according to their cultural andreligious beliefs.”

She says this is why the City provides theoption of burial assistance. “We also pro-vide the option of transporting the deceasedto a place of worship or house for a digni-fied, simple service before being transport-ed to the gravesite or crematorium.”

ST GEORGE’S HOME FOR GIRLS: HELPING TO SHAPE UPSTANDING ADULTS

New hope for young womenMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Leaving home and venturing out onyour own is a daunting task for anyyoung adult.

But for two young women from StGeorge’s Home for Girls the process hasbeen made easier.

After spending the past 18 months learn-ing the importance of securing a job, andbudgeting for food, electricity and rent,theywill soonbe leaving theHomeandwillbegin a journey to create their own homes.

Two young women, aged 20, originallyfrom Manenberg and Atlantis have spentthe past four years in the home. They arepart of the Home’s Transition into Inde-pendence Programme.

Located in Bute Road, the Home wasfounded in 1862 and is registered with theDepartment of Social Development.

It cares for girls who have been abused,abandoned, neglected and orphaned.

They also assist girls from failed fosterplacements and those with behaviouralproblems.

Director Graeme Cairns explains thegirls are allowed to stay in the Home untilthey are 18. If they are enrolled in a tertiaryinstitution or still at school, they are al-lowed to stay until 21.

“We first try to re-integrate them withtheir families. If this is not possiblewehelpthem start their adult lives on their ownand assist them when having to leave theHome,” he explains.

Cairns says the young woman from At-

lantis came to theHome at 16 years andhassince matriculated and completed a sportsmanagement course.

The second young woman is fromManenberg and was raised by foster par-ents and came to the Home when she was

16. Since then she has also secured a joband is ready to leave to go on her own.

At the end of this month, the two girlswill move into their own homes when theywill be able to put into effect the trainingthey have received over the past two yearsin the programme.

Cairns explains once the girls reach 16,they go through a programmewhich focus-es on obtaining legal documents, securingwork or furthering their education.

The Home assists them with obtaininglearnerships or an internship where theyget experience in a certain career field.They also take part in a life skills mentor-ing programme, cooking classes and an ar-ray of other activities.

Cairns says the Home is now raisingfunds for the refurbishment of a separatecottage to house the girls going into theprogramme.

“Here they will live separate to the othergirls and get a feel of what it’s like to beon their own.We provide themwith the es-sentials and offer our support,” he adds.

The home is in need of funds to refurbishthe cottage but are also looking for individ-uals or organisations willing to providementorship or skills training for the girls.V If you would like to assist phone St George’s Homefor Girls on (021) 797 0262 or email [email protected].

CRIME: POLICE URGE EXTRA VIGILANCE

Theft worries in WynbergMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Pedestrians listening to music on theircellphones have become the latest tar-get for robbers in Wynberg.

Police claim the use of earphones or head-phones while walking through the CBD hasseen many, especially school children, be-come victims of crime.This follows an increase in robberies in

Wynberg CBD and the surrounding area.Wynberg police spokesperson Sergeant

LizetteBaatjes says therehasbeenanoticea-ble increase in reports of cellphones andbags being snatched.She cautions against listening to music

through earphones or headphones whilewalking, as this attracts robbers. “The ear-phones are an indication someone has a cell-phone and robbers look for this. We ask thatpeople be careful and conceal their valua-bles at all times,” she says.Theft out of motor vehicles has also

sparked fresh concern with laptops, bagsand other valuables being stolen, “mainly

because items are left in parkedvehicles. We ask that peopleplease put these items away”.The theft of motor vehicles

has also continued.According to police reports

parking areas in Sector 1,which includes theCBDand theresidential areawest of the rail-way line, have been hit sinceApril.Baatjes says older models of

cars and scooters are being sto-len. Newer vehicle models areequipped with alarm systems,she says, and trackers are a de-terrent for criminals.

“We need people to be more cautious andreport all suspicious activity in Main Roadand parking areas,” she adds.Wynberg Improvement District (WID)

manager Athol Swanson says following the

increase in vehicle thefts many security of-ficers have been deployed to the parking are-as to assist police.Last month there were also reports of ve-

hicle thefts in Wynberg East.

Piedt spins himself to Protea gloryHENRY BOOYSEN

@henryspoke

When he played his first match for theCape Cobras three years ago, DanePiedt never imagined that he would

be called up for the Proteas test squad to tourSri-Lanka this winter.

Off-spinner Piedt (24), a Lansdowne resi-dent, was instrumental in his franchise’sSunfoil Series win last season, boasting withmatch bowling figures of 7/97 and 92 runsin the first innings of his team’s final four-day match against in Lions in Johannesburgin April. He was also the tournament’s lead-ing wicket-taker, with 45 wickets in justeight matches.

The United Cricket Club member repre-sented South Africa during the EmergingPlayers Tournament against India, Austral-ia and New Zealand in Australia last year.

Last week Piedt was one of three SunfoilSeries Cricketer of the Season nominees atthe annual Cricket South Africa Awards.The award was eventually scooped by hisCobras teammate and captain, Justin On-tong. He will be part of the South African

squad to tour Sri-Lanka from Tuesday 6 toSaturday 24 July. The two sides will do battlein three One Day Internationals and two testmatches. The former Old Mutual CricketClub player spoke to People’s Post about be-ing selected for the Proteas squad.People’s Post: Coming from Lansdowne

and seeing the other young men in your areanot living out their talents, what inspiredyou to turn to sport? Why cricket?Dane Piedt: It’s the passion for the game

and what I’ve sacrificed to get where I am.I never wanted to throw that opportunityaway. I must admit that I was a soccer loverand wanted to play football as a professional,but fortunately over the years I grew closerto the game of cricket.PP:Who inspired you and where did it all

begin?DP: My parents inspired me over the

years. My dad used to throw cricket balls tome in the garden all day while I was growingup.PP: As a teenager watching Paul Adams

on television representing his country, whatrole does he play as your cricket coach?DP: Paul Adams has been with me since

I was 18 years old and knows my game betterthan anybody else. I like the fact that I canalways speak to him about anything.PP: When you got the call that you were

selected to the Proteas squad, who were thefirst people you told and how did you feel?DP:My parents! It was the best day of my

life. I still do not know how to react, it’s afeeling I cannot describe.PP: Who is the father figure in the Cape

Cobras team and why?DP: I think it would be Vernon Philander.

He has always been there for me and hassuch a big passion for the game.PP: What is your main focus for the Sri-

Lankan tour?DP: Right now it’s to have a successful

tour and to contribute to the team to the bestof my ability.PP: Do you have any words of wisdom for

youngsters from Lansdowne who will be fol-lowing your every step?DP: Just believe in your talents and skills

and never give up on your dreams. What Iachieved is a perfect example of dreams com-ing true.V Follow Dane on Twitter @dane–piedt63. Dane Piedt PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Young cyclists given a boostLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

The president of Cycling South Africahas called on young cyclists to aim evenhigher after they achieved encouragingresults at this year’s Cape Argus Pick nPay Momentum Cycle Tour.

Members of the Nedbank Sports TrustCycling Development Programmewhere recognised and rewarded fortheir performances in the annual race atan event last Friday (6 June).

Cycling SA president William New-man attended the event, where he en-couraged the cyclists to fulfil their po-tential by joining Cycling SA’s develop-ment programmes.

“We want to take them to the next lev-el. We want them to start dreamingabout bigger events such as provincialand national championships, the Afri-can Youth Games, the Youth Olympics,the World Championships and the Olym-pic Games,” he said.

“The Sports Trust Cycling Develop-ment Programme is a stepping stone forthem and we will give them support, viaour provincial affiliates, to actually getto the next level.”

The programme has been running foreight years, with over R2-million invest-ed and over 650 bikes distributed toyoung cyclists.

In this province 13 schools are part ofthe programme, including Phoenix Highin Manenberg, Crystal High in HanoverPark and Oval North, Beacon Hill andTafelsig high schools in Mitchell’s Plain.

Members of the Mitchell’s Plainschools dominated the awards at lastweek’s event. The fastest and third fast-est Cape Argus Cycle Tour finishers inthe programme, Wayne Avontuur and

Grant Holloway respectively, are bothmembers of the Oval North Club, whilethe fastest girl was Ronelle Marron fromBeacon Hill High.

All three won new bikes, cash prizesand Samsung cellphones thanks to theirperformances.

Four Oval North members also wonnew bikes for completing the race in un-der four hours and 15 minutes, and theschool took home R5 000 and a Samsungtablet as the best performing school inthe programme.

Avontuur said his performance is theresult of hours in the saddle.

“This was my third tour and I feelgreat about my latest achievement,” hesaid.

“My time has improved each year. Idid well in this year’s instalment be-cause I trained hard and I did the Coro-nation Double Century for the first time.It’s a big race which took place inSwellendam; it got me ready for the Ar-gus.”

Avontuur trained for two months be-fore the Cycle Tour and also cycled homefrom work every day. He matriculatedfrom Oval North High in 2012, but is stilla member of the school’s cycling club.

Each of the 13 schools in the pro-gramme also received cycling equip-ment worth R20 000 from the provincialDepartment of Cultural Affairs andSport (DCAS), which also assisted theschools with transport and accommoda-tion throughout the programme.

For the first time since the establish-ment of the programme, the Sports Trustwill also award a bursary to the groupmember who achieves the best academicresults as well as a cash prize for sportsdevelopment to the school whichachieves the best academic results.

Enticing Super A rugby clashesLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Hamiltons can takeamajor leap towardsclaiming the Super League A titlewhen they host Helderberg at the

Stephen Oval on Saturday.South Africa’s oldest club kicked-off their

league campaign shortly after a heart-break-ing loss in the semi-finals of the CommunityCup, but the disappointment seems to haveproved the perfect motivation.Hammies have been ruthless in the league

this season, ensuring victories in all six oftheir fixtures, regardless of their perform-

ance, and are one of just two undefeatedsides in the competition.The Sea Point side currently hold fourth

on the table with 28 points and at least onegame in-hand on all of the top three.UCT currently lead the standings on 35

points after eight games, while Maties aresecond on 32 points after seven fixtures andFalse Bay are third on 30 after eight games.But with the top three all out of action this

weekend, Hammies have the opportunity tomake up ground.Five points gleaned from another bonus

point victory will push Hamiltons to 33points and second on the table.

After last Saturday’s 71-15 demolition ofbottom-placedNNK inParow, fewwill doubtHammies’ ability to do just that.SKWalmers are the next side to face NNK

and should also cruise to victory at theGreen Point Track on Saturday.NNKhave lost all eight of their games this

season, conceding an average of 50 pointsper game. While Walmers are fifth with fivewins and four losses. They should claimtheir second win in a row on Saturday, afterthey edged Tygerberg 22-21 away from homelast week.Primrose will look to avoid slipping into

a losing streak after last Saturday’s defeat,

but will have to overcome much tougher op-position to do so.Roses hosted False Bay at Rosmead last

week, but home-ground advantage did notprevent the hosts from suffering a 46-36 vic-tory.Primrose are 10th on the table, with 14

points after twowins, a draw and five losses.One Saturday they face ninth-placed Dur-

banville-Bellville, who have racked up 14points after three wins and three losses.Both sideshavebeen inconsistent this sea-

son, but the fixture will be entertaining re-gardless of which team eventually wins.V All fixtures will start at 16:00.
