Partneringover parkingNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Formalised and controlledparking may hold the answerto safety concerns at Muizen-

berg beachfront, locals believe.This as theMuizenberg Improve-

ment District (MID) and the City ofCape Town enter discussions on ajointly managed parking area.

There have been numerous re-ports of harassment and alleged il-legal activity over the last fewyears, according to MuizenbergRatepayers’ Association chairper-son Robin Solomon.

“On the whole, the car guards donot add any value to visitors’ expe-rience of Muizenberg beach. Onthe contrary – they often harassvisitors and some are allegedly in-volved in petty crime and drugdealing. As such, they undermineall the community’s efforts and in-vestments in the beach front,” hesays.

In 2012, a “Beach Buddies” pro-gramme saw car guards who hadpassed security clearance ap-proved to work at the parking lot.

However, the project was notregistered with the City of CapeTown and was dissolved.

Residents now say they would ei-ther like to see the car guards re-moved and a reasonable feecharged for parking, or the vettingof an approval of car guards work-ing there by local police.

MID chairperson Steven Frank-al says the organisation has “grap-pled with the problem of informalcar guarding at the beachfrontparking area” for five years now.

“The MID receives regular com-plaints from our community aboutthe safety threat posed by informalcar guarding on the beachfront.Wealso monitor social media discus-sions which detail endless com-plaints and concerns about person-al safety. The feedback clearlydemonstrates the view that localsand visitors frequently feel vulner-able and unsafe; residents postabout muggings, being harassedfor money and other alleged crimi-nal activity,” he says.

MID has lobbied since 2011 todeal with the “undesirable situa-tion”, and has attempted to inter-vene throughhiringadditional lawenforcement officers, introducingcommunity based projects to man-age the car guards in a more struc-tured way, private funding for ad-ditional security along the beach-front and ongoing engagementwith City officials, Frankal says.

“The MID would like to see a col-laborative agreement between theCity and the Improvement Districtthat allows for the parking area tobe formalised and controlled, cre-ating a safe and secure parking en-vironment to benefit all visitors.The MID is currently engagingwith City role players with a viewto reaching agreement on putting

a jointly managed parking area inplace,” he says.

Johan van der Merwe, Mayoralcommittee member for energy, en-vironmental and spatial planning,says currently car guards do nothave City permission to operate inthe area.

There are no specific bylaws re-garding car guards, explains JPSmith, Mayoral committee mem-ber for safety and security.

“However, theyare subject to thesame laws as other residents, in-cluding, for example, the Streets,Public Places and Prevention ofNuisance Bylaw,” he says.

This prohibits harassment, theblocking of parking spaces and ag-gressive begging.

The proposal is to provide a for-mal parking service to the areathatwill result in the removal of in-formal car guards, and the provi-sion of formal security for visitorsand their vehicles and better man-agement of the traffic congestionwithin the parking area, explainsVanderMerwe.TheCity is lookingtowards formalising all aspects ofthe parking area with a focus onformal security from 07:00 to 23:00daily.

“A draft agreement has been pre-pared and a meeting is scheduledto look towards finalising a man-agement agreement between theCity and the Muizenberg Improve-ment District regarding this mat-ter,” he adds.

Jazz artists from around the world were in Cape Town this weekendfor the 17th Cape Town International Jazz Festival. SWV (Sisterswith Voices) singer Tamara "Taj" JohnsonGeorge was among thestars who performed at the festival’s free community concert heldat Greenmarket Square on Wednesday 30 March.

Community Chest carnival comes alive

The drum majorettes from Groote Schuur Primary in Rondebosch strutted their stuff atthe Community Chest Carnival at Maynardville over the weekend.

An additional route has been approved forthe MyCiTi bus service.

The City of Cape Town’s Council approvedthe conceptual design of the MyCiTi routeT12 between Mitchell’s Plain and Claremontand a portion of route T11 from Khayelitshato the intersection of StrandfonteinRoad andNew Ottery Road.The decision was passed on Thursday 31

March. Transport for Cape Town (TCT) willnow proceed with the detail design processalong the proposed route alignments. Theconceptual design that served before Councildoes not include the Wynberg section as thispart of Phase 2A of theMyCiTi service is sub-ject to a final court ruling.The following key elements have been fi-

nalised in the conceptual design:. The route alignment of the T11 and T12

– the roads will allow an average operatingspeed of 30 km/h for the MyCiTi buses,

. Right of way – where the MyCiTi buseswill travel on dedicated red bus lanes andwithin mixed traffic,

. The location of the MyCiTi stations andstops – locations that will bring up to 80% ofcommuters within 500m of a station or stop,and

. The type of stations needed along theroutes to serve the number of boarding andalighting passengers and transfers betweenroutes. The City has followed an extensiveprocess over a period of five years to reach

this stage of the proposed Phase 2A project:. In October 2011 the council approved the

planning and design of Phase 2A of theMyCi-Ti service,

. In June 2014 the council approved theCity’s Integrated Public Transport NetworkPlan which identified 10 new MyCiTi trunkroutes, inclusive of Phase 2A,

. From October 2014 until July 2015,Transport for Cape Town embarked on a sev-en-month public participation process aboutthe proposed conceptual design of the T11and T12 routes,

. Following recent litigation concerningthe Wynberg section of Phase 2A, the T11 isnow proposed to terminate at the intersec-tion of Strandfontein Road and New OtteryRoad, and

. All matters relating to public transportin Wynberg are excluded until such time asa final court ruling has been made.As from 22 May until 3 July last year, no

less than 33 open days were hosted at venueswithin the communities who are to benefitfrom Phase 2A of the MyCiTi service.All of the comments that were received

during the public participation process, ei-ther written or verbal, were considered andare captured in the report that served beforethe council. There is overwhelming supportfor Phase 2A of theMyCiTi service in the oth-er communities, says Mayco member fortransport, Brett Herron.

Muizenberg police are urgingpeople to be cautious of ATM

and internet fraud asmore cases offraud have been reported over thepast month.On Thursday 10 March, at about

13:40, a member of the communitywas drawing money at an ATM atthe Capricorn Shopping Centre,where he inserted his card and astrange message appeared on theATM screen. The victim was thenapproached by an unknown malewho offered to help himand a shortwhile later, the suspect disap-peared. On attempting to stop hiscard, he was informed that a largeamount ofmoney had already beenwithdrawn. A case of fraud hasbeen opened at Muizenberg policestation.Captain Stephen Knapp, spokes-

person of the Muizenberg police,says they would like to urge thecommunity to be extra vigilantwhen withdrawingmoney from anATM and not to disclose their pinto anybody.In other incidents of fraud re-

ported, unsuspecting members of

the public had been conned out oftheir cashafter responding to amo-tor vehicle andmotor vehicle partsfor sale advertisement on the inter-net.In one instance, the complainant

was asked to deposit an amount ofR30 000 to secure the purchase ofanOpel CorsaGSI. After the depos-it was paid the complainant couldnot make contact with the sup-posed salesperson,who is allegedlybased in Randfontein.The same modus operandi was

followed when motor vehicle rimswere advertised on a website andthe complainant was conned out ofR4500.

BewareIn a separate incident, amember

of the public responded to an ad-vertisement of a house to let in theMarina da Gama area and was co-erced into paying a deposit ofR12 000. The victim, upon visitingthe residence, was then told by theowner that her house was not onthe market and she knew nothingof the advertisement.The community is encouraged

to not purchase any goods or paydeposits for anything without first

investigating the authenticity ofthe person selling the items.Phishing and fraud scams are

methods of deceitfully obtainingpersonal information such as pass-words, identity numbers and cred-it card details by calling, sendingemails or cell phone messages thatlook like they come from trustedsources, such as banks or legiti-mate companies.Typically, these emails or cell

phone messages request that usersclick on a link in the email, whichwill direct users to a spoofed web-site – a site designed to fool usersinto thinking that it is legitimate– to obtain, verify orupdate contactdetails or other sensitive financialinformation.These emails and messages also

often contain a telephone numberand contact person whom youshould call, as you are promisedyou could win large sums of mon-ey.

Staying safeThe following are a fewhints and

guidelines on how to protect youfrom fraud and scams:

. Never respond to emails orcellphone messages appearing to

be from your bank, which requestyour personal details. Rememberthat no bank will ever ask you toconfirmor update your account de-tails by email or SMS.

. Never provide your online ID,password or PIN to anyone andnever write them down or sharethem.

. Do not save your internetbanking password on your desk-top.

. Do not leave your computerunattended after you have enteredyour internet banking password.

. Always log off or sign off at theend of a session.

. Avoid doing internet bankingin public areas such as internetcafés, or on any computer that canbe accessed by people you do notknow.

. Change your PIN and pass-words frequently.

. Put sensible transaction limitson your accounts.

. Only provide your credit carddetails to reputable companies.

. If it looks too good to be true,it usually is.

. Never send money or give ac-count details to anyone you do notknow and trust.

Three sisters from Constantia say nothingcan stop them and they are aiming for

the stars in karate.Seanne (17), Madison (11) and Sidne (10)

van Horsten love the sport and they are do-ing all they can to compete at the highestlevel of karate – working towards gettingblack belts. The trio already has WesternProvince colours hanging on their shoul-ders.

Madison and Sidne have competed onlyone competition each, yet managed to comeout with medals. Their sister Seanne hasgone to several competitions and she hasseveral medals to her name. They are look-ing forward to going to Canada next year forthe competitions.

They all attend Rustenberg Girls HighSchool and say despite focusing on school-work they still have time to do what theylove.

All three sisters practise goju kai karatewhich is the oldest style of karate. To them,they say, the sport is not just about beingalert to your surroundings – it’s about hon-our, discipline, self control, family and forg-ing long-lasting friendships.

Seanne, who is currently ranked secondin the world, says the sport is her life.

“Though what I do is not defined by thenumber of medals I have – I’m quite proudwith what I have achieved. I work hard.Training is intense and I’m looking forwardto learning new things. I really like it. NowI’m looking forward to a stage where I willbe able to give back to the community andtrain other kids as well,” she says.

Madison says she really enjoys how thesport makes her feel.

“I like the nervousness mixed with excite-ment before the match. When you win it’sreally an awesome feeling. I’m not intimidat-ed by people that look bigger than me whenwe are starting a match because I know thebigger they are the harder they fall. I just domy best and I’m glad that it has paid off,”says Madison.

On the other hand, the youngest of the sis-ters, Sidne, says the sport is fun.

“I get a little nervous before the match butI’m never scared. I remember in one match

someone gave me a hard punch in the face.Instead of falling, she made me push hard-er. Though I cried a little, I wanted to winand that drove me to fight more. I want tofinish at the top,” says Sidne.

Like the famous saying goes, no applefalls far from the tree. The girls’ love for ka-rate comes from their father, who won a fewtitles in Japan, but because of the sanctionshe couldn’t grade there.

However, he made their mother promisethat he will encourage the kids get theirblack belts. Following down the line wastheir brother who also has several medalsto his name and the girls say they wouldn’tdo anything else.

Their mother, Megan, says this is not justa sport.

“It has taught me and the girls and theirbrother a lot. It has taught us the values offriendship, discipline and self control.They have so much talent and I wish themall the best. All I have to do is support them.I feel very proud when they win because Iknow the number of hours they put intraining.”

Support continuesfor shot catTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The Cat Trapping Network and other ani-mal lovers have vowed to continue at-

tending court until they see justice for Nah-la, the cat that was shot in a communal gar-den.Leaving the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court

disappointed last Friday after another post-ponement, they said though they are nothappy, they will not be moved and they willkeep coming to court.June Bradbury of the Cat Trapping and

Sterilisation Network says they want to seejustice. “We will continue to come here(court). I’m not really happy with this post-ponement, but no matter what, we will con-tinue to come and show our support. Wewant the authorities to see that we are real-ly serious about this and we really want tosee justice being done. This must serve asa warning to other people that abuse ani-mals; we can’t allow that to happen,” shesays.The case against Antonie Gericke from

Diep River whowas accused of shooting hisneighbour’s cat in a communal garden, waspostponed to 19 April. Gericke is facingcharges of animal cruelty.State prosecutor Craig Esterhuyse says

the investigation is complete but the casehad to be postponed to allow for the docketto reach Gericke’s lawyer, hence the post-ponement.Bradbury says it’s really upsetting be-

cause the cat has to live with a pellet in itsbody (“Cat stuck with bullet in her”, Peo-ple’s Post, 8 March), however at the end ofit all they want to see justice being done.Following the shooting in January,Nahla

vanished for a couple of days before shewasfound hiding in a school kitchen. She wasin a bad state and had to be taken to a vet.She underwent an operation, however,

the vet said they will not be removing thebullet as it will cause more damage thangood. The pellet was too close to the heartand could not be removed.Due to her injured leg, she had to limp for

days. Nahla is now at home where she is re-covering.

. What are you busy withmusically at the moment?

“Currently, I’ve been busywith The Motive over the lastfew months. It’s my music skillsdevelopment initiative my teamand I have founded. It’s a reallygreat opportunity for the select-ed aspiring artists, where weteach them all they need toknow about what it’s like beingan artist in the music industryand showcase their talents tothe world. The project is very dear to myheart and allows me to do and inspire othersto do what they love. At the moment we’rebusy in the studio, writing and developingoriginal songs for the artists for the show inJuly.”

. What are your musical plans for thenext few months?

“After The Motive Show in July, I’ll beheading overseas to do a few shows in theUSA. The outstanding love that my single“Timebomb” received, have opened up somegreat doors for me; I’ve been recording andreleasing some singles there too. I’ll be work-

ing on my third studio album with someamazing producers in Los Angeles, USAwhile there, one being Steve Valenzuela,who’s just produced new music for Eric Ben-et. I’m also working closely with great song-writers in South Africa for the album, andhave another Can Skylark stage productionplanned for later in the year.”

.Howwill you be treating yourmotherthis Mother’s Day?

“Unfortunately, my motherlives overseas in Kuwait, and Imiss her dearly. We spend asmuch time as we can togetherwhen she’s in SA, so I spoil herrotten as often as I can! My sis-ters and I Skype with and talk toher quite often, so on the rare oc-casion we get to spend time to-gether we do all the girly thingsand have so much fun.”

. Why is your mother spe-cial to you?

“My mother is special to me,because she taught me how to bea strong woman and how to ac-cept your flaws and celebrate

your strengths. A mother’s job is never reallydone and I think that we should show allwomen, not just mothers, unconditional loveand appreciation. Women have a very specialgift of compassion and I think it’s an amazinggift.”

. Are you planning any surprises forthe audience at thePeople’s Post Soul Sis-ters Mother’s Day Celebration?

The 6th annual Penguin Promises Waddlefor a Week will see a group of waddlers

set off from Gansbaai and walk their way toSimon’s Town over a period of six days,starting on Monday 11 April.Along the way they will raise much-need-

ed awareness about the plight of the endan-gered African penguin, as well as the envi-ronment, and collect promises as part of thePenguin Promises campaign.This initiative encourages people to make

behavioural changes which have a positiveimpact on the environment. The 16 wad-dlers, tackling the 120km walk, are animalkeepers from around the country as well asother animal penguin enthusiasts and envi-

ronmental supporters. This year the first in-ternational participant, Leitza Gormanfrom Devon Zoo in the UK, joins the group.“The main thing I’m looking forward to is

the opportunity to make a positive impact,however small, on the future of African seabirds through education,” said Gorman.The African penguin is the only penguin

species found on the African continent. Thespecies is endemic to the southern Africancoastline and occurs from Namibia to AlgoaBay. These birds face extinction in the wildas their numbers continue to decline dra-matically. Reduced food availability due tooverfishing, climate change and habitat de-struction are just some of the factors taking

their toll on bird numbers.How can South Africans help the African

penguin, the environment and the wad-dlers? By simply promising to make achange in their daily lives. These promisesare funnelled through thePenguinPromisescampaign and can be submitted to [email protected] should be kept simple and

achievable. Some examples of promises in-clude: declining straws, using reusableshopping bags rather than plastic bags, tak-ing quick showers rather than bathing,choosing only sustainable seafood, and ad-hering to water by-laws, to name but a few.Whenmade collectively, these choices can

have an immensely positive impact on theenvironment.On the final day of the Waddle, Saturday

16 April, the group will depart fromMuizen-berg and will walk to Simon’s Town. On this15km leg, they would love to see as manyCapetonians and visitors as possible jointhem. Dress in black and white and showyour love and support of the African pen-guin – Leave Muizenberg (Surfer’s Corner)at 09:00 and reach Simon’s Town at approxi-mately 13:00.V For further information about the Penguin PromisesWaddle for a Week, visit www.penguinpromises.comor email Hayley McLellan on [email protected]

SEAN CAMPBELL

After annexing their 17th senior nation-al baseball championship (NBC) lastweek, all of theWestern Province (WP)

youth teams proceeded to win gold in theirdivisions over the last week.Western Province have nowmade it back-

to-back clean sweeps of the South AfricanBaseball Union’s (SABU) senior and youthNBCs after alsowinning gold in all divisionsin Boksburg last year.The seniorWPA side conquered all before

The final was played in horrendouslywindy and rainy weather, which did not al-low for good baseball. The weather favouredGautengA as it stifled theWPApowerhousebatting line-up. Both teams were taken offthe field twice due to persistent rain. On thesecond occasion, at the top of the ninth in-nings, umpires called the game off with WPA leading 7-0. As the innings was incom-plete, the official score stood at 5-0, as it wasat the bottom if the eighth innings.The pitching duo of Jared Elario and Carl

Michaels stood out, with Brett Willemburgand Darren Wedel shining with the bat.WP u.18 A beat Gauteng A 10-0 in the final

of the junior championship.Jarrod Williams pitched a sublime game

and was well supported by his fielders whoturned a beautiful double play in the sixth

inning. Williams pitched six innings, con-ceding five hits, two walks and fanned twohitters.He was replaced by Brandon Smith who

recorded the last three outs.Brandon Gehlig (2 for 2), Haydon Matter

(2 for 3) and Kyle Ripepi (2 for 4) were thestandout hitters for WP u.18 A.Gauteng A beat Gauteng B 6-3 and WP A

beatWPB 9-2 in their respective semi-finals.In a tightly contested final for u.15s, WP

A beat Gauteng A 5-1. Both teams utilisedthreepitchers eachbut itwasWPAthat tookadvantage of the errors and walks given upby Gauteng A. Just when Gauteng A werethreatening, WP A turned a double play tokeep them scoreless in that innings.WP A beat Gauteng B and Gauteng A beat

WP B in the semi-finals.

After losing to Gauteng A 11-10 in theround robin, WP A beat them 5-3 in an excit-ing u.12 final. The young boys of the tourna-ment had everyone on the edge of their seatsin an awesome display of skills at this youngage. Both teams did very well and gave agood account of themselves.Western Province Baseball dominance is

good for the region, but definitely not goodfor South African baseball. One would havethought that Gauteng Central, Eastern andNorthern have consolidated into one unitthat would wrestle the dominance and tro-phies away from Western Province.Other regions to have participated in the

tournament were KZN, Mandela Bay, Eden,Cape Winelands and Zimbabwe. Some re-gions entered more than one team per divi-sion.

Perfect Cape Townweather, close racingand a fair share of controversywere allpart of the script atKillarney’s opening

round of the 2016 South African NationalKarting Championship, but the weekendwill likely better be remembered for the factthat local drivers proved totally dominant.According to a press release by WPMC

Kart Club, Western Province MotorsportClub karters Julian van derWatt, Dino Ster-min, Sebastian Boyd, Joseph Oelz and CharlVisser eachwononeof the fivenational cate-gories that made up the meeting. Local rac-ers also won thirteen of Saturday’s fifteenraces and with most classes offering theirchampions a seat in the Rotax Max WorldFinals in Italy inOctober, Cape karting onceagain started the season on a high note.Killarney is well-known as a hard nut to

crack for visiting karters and Saturdayproved no exception with three of the win-ners unbeaten over the weekend, but thisyear saw a local lad coming out on top of thefastest Rotax DD2 shifter class too for thefirst time when Formula Ford frontrunnerJulian van der Watt (Kosmic) came from be-hindeach time tobeatSADD2championandJozi Polo Cup racer Bradley Liebenberg (Bi-rel) and Masters class winner, Port Eliza-beth’s multiple SA Production Car champi-on and GTC racer, Michael Stephen.Another Cape driver and VW Polo Cup

racerUmpie Swart (Birel)was fourth inDD2from Durbanite Benjamin Habig (TonyK-art), former WP champ Jonathan Thomas(PartnersCRG),Bloemdriver JustinAllison(Tony Kart) and Tristan de Nobrega, RobertWhiting andMichael Buchholz rounding off

the top ten.The open age group 125cc RotaxMaxChal-

lenge is one class where Cape drivers haveregularly dominated over the years and thisyear was no exception. Reigning SA JuniorMax championDino Stermin (Kosmic) over-came a difficult first heat to take two hard-fought wins to take overall honours for theday.Although it was no walk in the park, Se-

bastian Boyd (Kosmic) made nomistakes enroute to three fine racewins and a dominantmaiden national high school 125cc JuniorMax victory over local rival Daniel Duminywho drove a characteristically steady week-end to bring his Kosmic home. In secondplace was Johannesburg driver BlaineRademeyer (Birel), Worcester lad JP Ham-man (Kosmic), Mozambican Karl Pitzer(FA), Durbanite Dominic Lincoln (Tony)

and local ladAndrewRackstraw(Tony).Cameron O’Connor, Storm

Lanfear and Jason Coetzeerounded off the Junior Max topten, but Coetzee, who was sec-ond to Boyd in the first and thirdheats, was party to a controver-sial second heat last lap that sawhim excluded from that heat andDario Busi, who had led most ofthatheat excluded for theday fortheir parts in some questionablelast lap race two tactics…There may have been just one

Cape driver on the other prima-ry school 60ccMiniRok grid, butthat did not prevent wildcardCharl Visser (Zanardi) fromwinning it. Visser was firsthome in all three races, but wasdocked five places for a startlineinfringement to hand KwandaMakoena (FA) a rare out of townvictory in the finale.Visser’s Mini Rok win was

however all the more impress-ive considering that he bounced

straight back to win the second Mini Rokrace immediately after being significantlyshaken up when thrown from his kart in ahefty second race Maxteino crash.Now all that remains to be seen is if Cape

Town’s karters can continue to dominate thenational races away from home. The secondround of the SA national karting champion-ship follows in Port Elizabeth on WorkersDay 1 May.
