NOORDHOEK: RESIDENTS’ FURY AS RESTAURANT IS GIVEN THE GO­AHEAD

City approval sparks ireMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Despite 81 objections, an application fora 100-seater restaurant in Noordhoekhas been given the thumbs up from the

City of Cape Town’s mayoral committee.The recommendation for approval for the

rezoning application was decided during ameeting held earlier this week.The application for the vacant property

situated at the intersection of Chapman’sPeak Drive and Avondrust Circle received81 objections from residents and one letterof no objection.According to the report, the application

was received inNovember last year andwasheard at the Spatial Planning, Environmentand Land Use Management (Spelum) com-mittee inFebruarywhere the applicants andobjectors were interviewed.It was adjourned for a site visit.An inspection was carried out onWednes-

day 5March and the committee convened onWednesday 12March to consider thematter.The report says while officials recom-

mended approval, Spelum did not agree andthe issue was referred to the mayoral com-mittee.Last week, residents received word that a

delegation led by mayor Patricia de Lillewere going to visit the site and lobbied resi-dents to gather near the site.In a summary of the motivation by the ap-

plicant, Chapman’s Sports Resort ProprietyLimited, it says the application is in linewith the City’s 2020 tourism development vi-sion.It says the restaurantwill provide 40 park-

ing bays on the site and the potential spillinto Avondrust Circle is minimised.It also says thepotential impact on theSce-

nicDrive is reduced by the scale of the devel-opment.According to the objectors, the intersec-

tion at Avondrust is dangerous and the roadis too narrow to be used as an entrance tothe restaurant.Objectors claim the development would

spoil the ambience of the Noordhoek Com-mon which is one of the few rural spaces en-joyed by the community.The summaryof objectionsalsohighlights

the need for a traffic assessment to considerthe high volumes of traffic travellingthrough the area on weekends and public

holidays as people visit the beach.At the meeting De Lille asked members

whether they agreed that the application beapproved based on the conditions set out inthe report. She raised an additional condi-tion which allows for parking for touristbuses. Simon Liell-Cock, councillor at theSouth Peninsula subcouncil and member ofthe Spelum committee says objectors had astrong case.He says the application conflictedwith the

Spatial Development Framework and theDistrict Plan and the Acts on which thesedocuments are based.“The report is inadequate andmisleading.

The development is not desirable especiallyas a traffic statement andnot a traffic impactassessment was conducted,” Liell-Cockadds.Resident Patty Fennell whowas present at

the meeting is appalled by the committee’srecommendation.

She explains the narrow road will not beable to accommodate tourists’ buses and thedevelopment will have a visual impact andcompromise the common.The recommendation of the committee

will form part of a final report at the nextfull councilmeetingwhere the final decisionwill be made.V Do you think Noordhoek needs another restaurant?Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”,SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

HEALTH: POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO TOBACCO LEGISLATION

E­smokers may be out in the coldDESIREÉ RORKE

@dezzierorke

E-cigarette users happily “vaping” in lo-cal pubs and restaurants in Cape Townmay soon be out in the cold, as the na-

tional Department of Health is consideringamendments to tobacco legislation.Currently, the “e-cig” cannot be read into

the definition of a tobacco product in termsof the Act as it does not contain tobacco –hence regulations relating to smoking tobac-co in public places do not apply.“Amendments are needed to the legisla-

tion to ensure that e-cigarettes are regulatedand this is currently under consideration,”said mayoral committee member for healthBenedicta van Minnen.

The current statusquo regarding the issuewas supplied by the national department tothe City of Cape Town when it recentlysought a legal opinionon thematter. “Wearenot inundated with complaints, however,there has been an increase in the number ofenquiries, especially from managers andowners in the workplace. The nature of theenquiries are whether smoking of the prod-uct in offices and canteens is allowed; if theyshould adapt their workplace smoking poli-cy; whether patrons can smoke the device inthe non-smoking area of restaurants; andwhether the fines are the same as for smok-ing cigarettes in public places,” she said.

Tobacco alternativeAccording to her, the City specifically

wanted to know whether they can enforcethe current tobacco legislation on e-ciga-rettes.Electronic cigarettes are an alternative

method of consumingnicotine, the addictivechemical found in tobacco.They look like cigarettes, but contain no

tobacco or other harmful chemicals such ascarbon dioxide and tar. The “e-cig”, whichwas patented in China in 2003, is battery op-erated and converts liquid into a vapour thatis inhaled.Althoughmanufacturers claim it to be the

healthy alternative to tobacco cigarettes,there are some concerns over the possibilitythat the vapour exhaled might containharmful elements.“The jury is still out on exactly how safe,

or not, e-cigarettes are. We know that someestablishments allow the use of these devic-es indoors because they emit vapour insteadof smoke,” said van Minnen.She says these devices are currently con-

troversial worldwide because they are sonew and there is a lack of long-term scientif-ic evidence to support their safety.“Some countries such as France and Aus-

tralia have gone as far as banning the use

of these products inpublic places.

Review“The World

Health Organisation(WHO) is currentlyreviewing the exist-ing evidence arounde-cigarettes and pre-paring a paper forsubmission to themeeting of the Par-ties of the WHOFramework Conven-tion on Tobacco Con-trol, which occurslater this year,” shesaid.“They are also

working with na-tional regulatorybodies to look at reg-ularity options aswell as toxicologyexperts to under-stand more aboutthe impact e-cigar-rettes may have onhealth.”When asked

whether the Citywould like to see thecurrent legislationchanged to include e-cigarettes into itsambit, she was am-bivalent.“Some studies support the use and others

oppose it. As stated, in the absence of suffi-cient scientific evidence regarding the safe-ty and effects of the product, this makes itdifficult to support or not support the use ofe-cigarettes in public places.“Presently, it is not covered in the legisla-

tion and we will therefore await guidance

from the National Department of Health,”she said.In New York City, new regulations plac-

ing e-cigarettes under the same rules as nor-mal cigarettes,were imposed twoweeks ago,banning it from public places such as barsand restaurants.In the UK, the debate rages on.

@henryspoke

The hunt is on for a man who is suspectedof conning a BP petrol station in Capri-corn.Muizenberg police spokesperson Cap-

tain Stephen Knapp says that a case oftheft of petrol has been opened.“We can confirm that on Saturday 14

June at, a [man] driving a red Ford Sierrathrew in an amount of petrol at the BP ga-rage in Capricorn and drove off withoutpaying,” says Knapp.“A criminal case of theft of petrol was

opened at Muizenberg police and is beinginvestigated.”The suspect was caught on CCTV after

he drove off without paying for his fuel atthe petrol station.“On Saturday at 18:30 the car pulled into

the garage and parked in front of the store.

The suspect then came inside the shop andwalked around,” says Veroni Dicks, themanager of the petrol station, which is sit-uated in Prince George Drive.“After a while he bought a pack of ciga-

rettes and drove off to the petrol pump andasked the attendant to fill up his tankwithR900 of petrol.”Dicks believes part of the suspect’s

modus operandi was to wait for a pumpclosest to the highway to be available toput his plan into action.“That was the only reason he was hang-

ing around the store. Unfortunately henever paid (for the cigarettes) with a card,but [with] cash so we cannot trace him,”she says.The suspect, who was accompanied by

a teenager, drove off without paying hispetrol bill.“Our attendant was busy putting the

nozzle back into the pump when he just

sped away. Inci-dents like thesehave happenedbefore but theywere for verysmall amounts ofnot even R100.We need to getthis guy behindbars,” she fumes.It is their poli-

cy that in cases ofsmall sums notpaid for, the pet-rol attendants have to fork out.

Blue Flag recordA record 55 Blue Flag applications have beenreceived by the Wildlife and Environment So-ciety of South Africa (Wessa), and the applica-tions came just in time as World Oceans Daywas celebrated earlier this month.

The Blue Flag programme is focused on theconservation of marine and coastal habitats,accrediting beaches and marinas for meetingcertain criteria. This year several new munic-ipalities will for the first time participate inthe international environmental educationprogramme.

A rigorous approval process begins in Julywith the initial assessment of their applica-tions. This will be followed by an internation-al panel who will decide which beaches andmarinas will have Blue Flag status. Success-ful candidates will be named in September.

FROGGY FARM: UNMANAGED PLOT IRKS LOCALS

Furore over fire riskMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Concerns over an unmanaged plot inFroggy Farm have arisen.

The plot which is situated betweenthe residential area and a property ownedby the South African Navy is filled withtrees which have fallen over or hang overonto neighbouring properties.

Residents Niles Hemming and SimonBraat say the dense area has been a prob-lem for several years and residents havebeen unable to ascertain who owns andis responsible for the land.

According to zoning maps the area iscategorised as open space.

Hemming, who has lived next to the for-est for six years, says he has continuallywarned authorities about the fire risk.

“I have contacted both the City of CapeTown and the Navy and am unable to getanswers about who owns the land,” hesays.

Last week, residents witnessed Citystaff removing old trees but a big portionof the vegetation had been left behind.

Braat says it was later collected but asthe branches were left to dry in the sun,they posed a bigger risk.

The men are part of the local neighbour-hood watch and explain that despite firetraining they fear the community will notbe able to contain a fire on the plot.

Hemming says due to the dense vegeta-tion, a fire would spread rapidly.

“My home is situated right next to theforest and if there is a fire I fear I will bein danger as many of the trees hang overinto my property,” he explains.

On a walk-about of the area, severaltrees could be seen laying in the pathway.Many trees were either dead or dying.

Mayoral Committee member for Com-munity Services and Special Projects Be-linda Walker confirms the property isowned by the City and says: “It is a verynarrow strip of land. (City) officials willinspect (the) current conditions and in-vestigate the claims,” she says.

Walker explains the safety of residentsis a priority and appropriate action willbe taken to minimise any risk.

“The City’s Tree Policy, as well as theNational Forests Act, will guide all deci-sions regarding tree removal and prun-ing,” she adds.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes costR1.

Fishermen rescued from icy surfFour Hout Bay fishermen were rescued af-ter their boat capsized in Kommetjie.According to theNational Sea Rescue In-

stitute (NSRI), a volunteer crew was sentout on Friday 13 June after red distressflares were sighted at 15:42.NSRI station commander Tom Coetzee

says along with Cape Medical Response(CMR), the crew found four fishermenagedbetween 30 and 40 clinging to the upturned

hull of the capsized fishing vessel near theKommetjie slipway.“AnNSRI rescue swimmerwas deployed

into the surf and in relays, one at a time,each fisherman was brought safely to oursea rescue craft,” he says.Coetzee explains the men were suffering

mild hypothermia but did not have anyother injuries.CMR paramedics assisted by giving

them rewarming treatment.The crew returned to the upturned ves-

sel but attempts to right the boat were un-successful and it was towed to the slipway.

“Later, family of themen arrived to fetchthem and made arrangements to recovertheir boat. It appears a wave caused theboat to capsize and, once righted, a holewas discovered in the hull suggesting itmay have hit a reef or an object,” Coetzeesays.A local laundromat assisted by drying

the fishermen’s clothes before they wenthome.

ANIMAL CARE: GIVING LOVE TO TOWNSHIP PETS

Something to wag aboutMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Providing proper healthcare for pets ininformal settlements can be a costly ex-pense, but an animal welfare organisa-

tion is committed to improving the lives ofpets across Cape Town.Focusing on education, Deep South Ani-

mal Educareworks in RedHill, OceanView,Vrygrond and Bonnytoun to help ownerstake better care of their pets.Followinga firewhich ripped throughsev-

eral homes in Valhalla Park in Decemberlast year they have also teamed up with Uit-sig Animal Rescue Centre, PawFriends andValhalla Park Animal Welfare Organisa-tions to assist.Jaque le Roux from Deep South Animal

Educare explains the shocking conditionsanimals are living in have alarmed the or-ganisations.He says many pets are seen eating out of

bins for scraps of food which make themsick.“We also witnessed a dog being fed used

disposable nappies which made it sick andeventually it had to be put down,” he says.The team focuses on dipping, deworming

and sterilisation and educates communitieson the importance of fresh water.Le Roux says in many of the areas over-

breeding is the biggest concern among dogowners.In one case the group came across a three-

year-old Jack Russell which already had 26puppies.He says overbreeding is often accompa-

nied by dog fights organised by owners andmany dogs live with the wounds.“In Vrygrond we often see this and speak

to people about the advantages of sterilisa-tion and hope they will make the right deci-sion,” he says.Tears Animal Rescue spokesperson Tinka

Shapiro says overbreeding is generally seenas the most problematic aspect of animalcare in the low-income areas.Using dogs as an example Shapiro says a

female dog comes into heat every sixmonthsand with a two-month gestation, a two-month feeding period and a two-month re-coverywindow, irresponsible owners are al-lowing their dogs to fall pregnant every sixmonths. “With rampant undernourishmentandhighworminfestationsdogs arenot ableto recover adequately from pregnancies and

are prone to diseases such as mange, wormsand ringworms,” she explains.These diseases are transmissible to hu-

mans, especially young children and indi-viduals with compromised immune sys-tems.Shapiro says the high number of puppies

result in susceptibility to viral outbreakssuch as Parvo and Distemper which resultsin a very high mortality rate and a slow,painful death.“Other diseases which result from over-

breeding include Transmissible VenerealTumours which eat away at genitalia caus-

ing a cruel death if left untreated. Increasedconflict between breeding animals also re-sults in fight-related injuries and possibledeath,” she says.Le Roux says the teams offer sterilisation

but rely mostly on donations. In some casesa minimal fee of R20 is charged.The education drives are focused on youth

and children as the team hopes they canmake an impact.With the permission of the community,

the team hosts special days where they as-sist pet owners.They recently assisted in Bonnytoun in-

formal settlement in Wynberg where resi-dents were happy for the service.Le Roux says after just one visit, there are

signs of improvement.“We really want to work with the commu-

nities and not dictate what they should orshouldn’t be doing. With education we be-lieve we can help them see the harm theymay be causing their pets,” he says.The group also relies on donations of dog

or cat food and blankets for the educationdrives.V If you would like to assist phone Le Roux on071 351 9914.

KALK BAY: NO RELIEF IN SIGHT

Parking peril persistsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The growing demand for parking inKalkBay has seen the seaside suburb strug-gle.

A survey conducted by the Kalk Bay/StJames Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Associa-tion reveals while businesses have in-creased, parking facilities have stayed thesame resulting in more vehicles using nar-row side streets.The study, highlighted at a recent meet-

ing, compares the number of seats in all res-taurants to those of available parking bays.It shows there are 2709 seats across 23 res-

taurants, with only 411 available parkingbays.It is divided into three categories, calculat-

ing the number of people in a vehicle and theparking requirements. It shows if every ve-hicle carried 2.5 people, there would need tobe 1083.6 bays available.The ratio of 2.5 people per vehicle is simi-

lar to a survey conducted in 1996. For fourpeople, 676.85 bays are needed and for sixpeople in a vehicle 450.38 parking bays areneeded.The survey was conducted by Barrie Gas-

son on Monday 28 April between noon and15:00.Gasson says the association thought itwas

time to look at the current figures followingthe previous survey 18 years ago.Chairperson Tony Trimmel says it high-

lights the high demand for parking in the ar-ea as Kalk Bay has become more popularover the years.But with insufficient bays, residents have

noticed a marked increase in vehicles park-ing in side streets, causing obstructions.“In many cases we find the vehicles are

parked the wrong way, which is encouragedby the illegal car guards,”Trimmel explains.These guards, he says, can be seen

throughout the area, directing motorists in-to the side streets with no consideration fortraffic flow. “It is becoming an issue for resi-dents and they are scared to approach theguards,” he adds.The surveyalso takes a lookat the location

of restaurants and the space these occupy.Of the 2709 seats, it states, 1243 are distrib-

uted among five restaurants situated onland owned by the Passenger Rail Agency ofSouth Africa (Prasa).South Peninsula Subcouncil chairperson

Felicity Purchase believes smaller estab-lishments are being prejudiced in the proc-ess.She says the City of Cape Town are unsure

of possible solutions as there isn’t any avail-able space.Fisherman’s Village resident Faez

Poggenpoel says they have also noticed anincrease in vehicles to the coastal town.He explains a plan to open space and

charge motorists was rejected by residentsin the past.Transport mayco member Brett Herron

says the City has approved the maps demar-cating the reducedparking requirements fordevelopment in priority areas.He says properties north ofMain Road are

demarcated Public Transport area 1(PT1)and therefore qualify for lower parking re-quirements.Herron explains recent upgrades along

Main Road have resulted in more onstreetparking.Parking requirements for restaurants are

determined by floor space and not seating.Under the Cape Town Zoning Scheme, res-

taurants are listed for land-use and those lo-

cated in standard areas need to provide twobays per 25m² of Gross Leasable Area (GLA).“Restaurants located in PT1 areas must

provide one bay for each 25m² of the GLA.The current zoning schemeparking require-ments applies to all new applications andpreviously approved parking requirementsapply to applications within current zoningrights,” Herron adds.He says according to the City’s Parking

Policy,managed or paid-for parking is intro-duced in areas where parking is difficult tofind.

“Charging for parking encourages motor-ists to park for shorter periods and workswell in areas where the typical dwell timeof business patrons is less than two hours.”In areas where patrons need to park for

longer, he says managed parking would notserve the area well. “The introduction ofmanaged parking therefore needs to be con-sidered on the merits of each case.”V Share your experience of finding parking in Kalk Bay.What are possible solutions to the parking problem?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to32516.

In an effort to combat the theft and resale of City-owned refuse bags, the City’s Solid WasteManagement Department has printed the letters ‘CCT SWM’ followed by a serial numberin black text on all its blue bags from June 2013. This will ensure that all stolen bags can berecognised and their source traced. Despite these measures being put in place, the Citycontinues to experience theft of its blue bags, which are then sold illegally on the street as wellas in some shops. The City is appealing to residents once again not to purchase blue refusebags at all as these bags are stolen property. The bags are usually packaged together with otherbags and folded to hide the printing. It can be assumed that all blue bags are stolen bags.Blue bags are used solely for all the activities and programmes of the Solid Waste ManagementDepartment’s Cleansing Branch.

Report any individual or shop seen selling these bags by contacting the City’s SolidWasteManagement branch for Loss Control on 021 900 1689 or e-mail riaan.truter@capetown.gov.za.

If any blue bags are placed out on the roadside by residents, it will be deemed illegal dumpingand dealt with accordingly.

Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is highly appreciated. This action is in line withmaintaining a well-run city.

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing the installationof the pressure reduction valves (PRV) on the water supply lines feeding the Brakkloof watersupply zone on Thursday 26 June 2014.

This process will result in the disruption of the water supply to Brakkloof from 22:00 until04:00 the following morning.

Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure minimaldisruption to the water supply in the affected areas.

The water supply network across the City is divided into reticulation zones which are smallerand much more manageable sections of the large network for purposes of maintenanceand upgrades. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and the subsequent water losses.

Residents are advised to store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use duringthis period.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

Shots triggerturf war fearsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Fears over turf wars in Ocean View haverisen.This follows a spate of shootings in

which three people have been killed in thepast week.OnMonday 16 June, a womanwas gunned

down at a property in Draco Way and policeare searching for the gunman.According to reports from residents, the

woman was murdered while looking after ahouse in Draco Way.The shooting took place just after 19:00.Ocean View Police Station commander

Lieutenant-Colonel Jakobus Augus con-firmed the incident and says police are in-vestigating.No further details on the shooting were

immediately available.On Tuesday 10 June, two men opened fire

on a group of people in Ivory Court.Augus says police are on the hunt for two

gunmen who opened fire on the group whowere sitting around a fire just after 21:00.He explains two men were killed, while

two others injured.“Police are investigating the motive be-

hind the shooting and we request that any-one with information contact us,” Augussays.Patrick Joseph, vice-chairperson of the

Ocean View Civic Association, says he alsoheard gunshots fired onMonday 9 June , butAugus says no fatalities or injuries were re-ported to the station.A resident, who spoke on condition of ano-

nymity, says the community is concerned asthe killings appear to be “drug-related”.“With every shooting we can see those in-

volved are somehow linked to known drugdealers, somanyare in fear of getting caughtin the crossfire,” he says.MarkWiley, chairperson of theCommuni-

ty Safety, Cultural Affairs and Sport portfo-lio committee andmember of provincial par-liament, says the situation is unacceptable.Wiley was present at the murder scenes.He says OceanView needs to stand togeth-

er to rid the area of drug- and gang-relatedactivity.“It cannot be tolerated,” he says.“The community will steadily be eroded.

Similarly the police have to take this crisisa lot more seriously and they are going tohave to put considerably more resources in-to the fight against crime.”V Anyone with information on the shooting is urgedto phone the Ocean View Police Station on(021)7838317 or Augus on 0798941569.

Twenty years into our new democracy and South Afri-cans are still stumped by the colour issue.

Race, language, hair texture and where we grow up areall issues which immediately spring to the mind and lipsof our fellow nationals.

It is becoming quite tired. So what if we don’t all lookor sound alike? It would make for an extremely boringcountry. Goodbye Rainbow Nation, hello .... utopia? Tothe South Africans still afraid of their own shadow – orthe mythical Swart Gevaar – and thinking of relocatingto some uniform country where everyone looks like you:there is none.

Now UCT, the bastion of tertiary education on theslopes of Table Mountain, is adding their pennyworth tothe fray. The university’s revised admissions policy seeksto shed light on all factors which constitute what it meansto be disadvantaged.

The realities in our country and province is that greatminds behind apartheid left a shameful legacy in whichswathes of people were left without adequate education,food, water, shelter and a range of other necessities.

Obviously these fault lines have succeeded only inputting our country’s development on the back foot andcontemporary politicians at odds to the challenge of ad-dressing these inequalities.

So what constitutes present-day “disadvantage”?Socio-economic factors impacts education and a pupil’s

level of academic achievement.The South African reality is that the large majority of

those suffering under socio-economic stress are primari-ly non-white.

While an emerging non-white middle-class is evident,these wheels are turning at a snail’s pace. Not every non-white person is poor and not every white person is rich,so the racial stereotype is not a one-size-fits-all.

If only one band of SA society is promoted – as happenedin apartheid – how will this shape the future of our coun-try?

Level the studying fields.

Fears of the ‘privileged’In response to the article regarding the hous-ing issues (“Hurdles for housing”, People’sPost, 5 June) I wish to respond as follows onthe fears the privileged have.

The fear is no longer “die swart gevaar”,but it has instead turned into “fears of theprivileged”. Reading the article was shock-ing!

The previously disadvantaged finally hasan opportunity to dignified housing and res-idents in the area are concerned about over-crowding, devaluation of the land that sometook and worked for paying a “penny” forit.

[They ask] questions such as why thisland? Let me try to answer.

The land you now occupy once belongedto the natives of the soil of Africa who weretaken away to a foreign land and familiesseparated.

The land they now possess is not suitablefor them to cultivate as they previouslycould. The system was evil and it somehowis still [in] dealing with the disadvantagedcommunities.

And as for concerns about whether a taxirank would be built there, [there] shouldrather be a concern for how people will getto the shops [and] schools. How else willthey be transported? Not unless you makesuggestions like asking the authorities toimplement the MyCiTi in and around our ar-ea so that commuting can become easier totravel and [there is] less overcrowding oftrains.

When we go to combined services at StFrancis Anglican Church , it saddens me lis-

tening to the seniors sharing about their up-bringing in a once quiet, thriving, non-vio-lent, non-racial and God- fearing communi-ty.

This makes me very sad and sometimesangry.

Angry enough to be reminded that apart-heid should never ever happen anywhere inthis world or with any particular race or re-ligious groups.

So stop moaning and become a part of thenation and let us rekindle the dreams ofthose gone before us.

Not too long ago did you hail Nelson Man-dela as king and now we [are] back to ourold selves. We were standing still and admir-ing the father of the nation.

“When the proverbial inflexibility of redtape is combined with petty small-minded-ness of racism, the results can be mind-bog-gling.” – Long walk to freedom, Nelson Man-dela.

Integrated communities are long overdueand if there weren’t so many misgivings onthe part of Julius Malema, I would mostprobably vote him into power.

Turn your fears into building a thrivingcountry where all who live in it can benefit.

As a young American volunteer in OceanView working with Chantal Daniels said,they are Americans with different racegroups but one pot of stew.

So this rainbow nation is a dream but weshould strive to become one nation.

Yours in the struggle for true liberation.SHARONE DANIELSOCEAN VIEW

Rest in peaceA homeless woman, [known only as Char-maine] has been in Lakeside at the Lakesidepharmacy corner for years.

On Tuesday 10 June Charmaine passedaway. She will be sadly missed as she alwaysgreeted everybody with a smile.

Now her partner, John, is left on his own.She will be sadly missed by all of us.Rest in peace, Charmaine.

Search for majorfrom MuizenbergRandolph Cosby Nesbitt was born in Queen-stown on 20 September 1867.

Major Nesbitt VC served in the Mashona-land Mounted Police as inspector [at thetime of] the outbreak of the Mashonaland Re-bellion in 1896.

It was during this campaign that he be-came the central figure in the rescue of MrSalthouse and his party from the Alice Mine,some 27 miles from [the then] Salisbury(Harare) in the then Rhodesia (Zimbabwe),and gained for the regiment its first VictoriaCross. The second being awarded to CaptainFC Booth in 1916.

Major Nesbitt and Captain Booth wereboth members of the then world renownedBritish South Africa Police of Rhodesia.

Nesbitt, aged 60, eventually left his adopt-ed country, after the death of his wife, to set-tle in Muizenberg where he later remarried.

In 1956 he was to have travelled to Londonto take part in the celebration on the cente-nary of the Victoria Cross, of which he wasthe oldest living holder. Sadly his health pre-vented him from attending. He died shortlyafterwards at his home on 23 July 1956, aged89.

We are curious to discover as to exactlywhere in Muizenberg this celebrated gentle-man lived and died, perhaps the only resi-dent of this wonderful seaside town to proud-ly wear the Victoria Cross.

If any People’s Post reader can assist we’dlove to hear from you.TONY ROZEMEYEREMAIL

. Why [do] the residents only want todraw up a petition against the upgrade of[the] beach area now? When that strandedboat was there and drugs and sex was go-ing on, they did nothing. Kudos to TonyWhite for making an effort to beautify thearea. M Nel

. The community is lying; they did notuse the pools for years. If they [did], whydid they not clean the pools and keep thearea clean? Only now that White hascleaned it up, is everyone keen on using it.Miriam Peabody

. In the six years I’ve been living in FishHoek, I never knew those were publicpools! It’s a really a sad situation.

. Leave the deck. There has been a bigimprovement.

. It appears that wealth has the upperhand when it comes to taking control ofpublic spaces. Simon’s Town has a similarissue where a restaurant at the jetty con-trols the use of the public toilets near thejetty. They use excuses such as vagrancy,becauseLawEnforcement officers don’t dotheir work. Anonymous

. The tidal pools in Kalk Bay have beencolonised by the Brass Bell.Whatever theysay, it’s not easy to access the pools. Onehas to elbow luncheon patrons to get pastand the feel is one of a private, not a public,space. I say make them remove the decks!Lakeside swimmer

. If no one used the tidal pool beforeBrass Bell “cleaned it up” then controlledaccess by residents now it has beencleaned is justified. If the Kalk Bay Beachnear the harbour is anything to go by, con-trol is definitely required. However, Imean “control” not “deny”. People justneed to abide by rules of public places. JMostert, Clovelly

. Well done to TonyWhite for taking theinitiative to improveaveryneglectedarea.The residents should be grateful to havesomeone like him around. I hope they willrespect the new area he is creating.

. Why is the City allowing liquor to besold at theBrass Bell pool area? Illegal con-struction of the wooden decks means justthat. City officials: don’t let [Tony] Whiteand Prasa fool you by thinking these “im-provements” are done in the best interestof the general public. Tear thewhole illegalstructure down. White Shark

. Do Brass Bell’s TonyWhite and Linde-loMatya of Prasa really take the public forfools, thinking the illegal take-over of apublic space is in our best interest? ThereasonWhite is doing this SIA after illegal-ly constructing the outside decks shows hehas no consideration for residents or thepublic’s use of the pools facilities. Fishy

. Brass Bell should be applauded for theimprovements made to a derelict area.Sort out the minor issues and use it as agood example of theCity and private enter-prise working together for the good of thecommunity.

. I often go to the pools at Kalk Bay andhave lots of fun there. Someone oncemoved my bag to sit at a table. I hope thatspacewill be open to public again, not onlyfor those who can afford to eat at BrassBell. It is ideal to teachpeople to swim.Vin-cent, MuizenbergGeneral. Wewere forcibly removed fromWater-

fall, but we never claimed. Will we qualifyfor housing?

. The same thing happens at the otherpark near the taxi rank. You can’t takeyour child to kick a ball, because the drugdealers do business there; they are alwaysbusy in the grass, but the police never seeanything. Mother

. Is it not a constitutional right to havethe value of our properties protected? I’veworked for 40 years to pay for my home,now Eastern Cape “refugees” are gettingfree homes next door tome. The agent saidmy home has devalued by half. Can I turnto the Constitutional Court for compensa-tion? Help! Gary, Simon’s Town

HEALTH MATTERS: NGO AIMS TO PROMOTE AWARENESS

Debunking myths of epilepsyJODY FORTUIN

@JodyF13

Epilepsy affects one in every 100 SouthAfricans. Yet it remains misunder-stood.

To address this issue theNGOEpilepsySAaims to drive home awareness during Epi-lepsy Week, which is held until Sunday 22June.Anthea Emmanuel, a senior social worker

at Epilepsy SA, is excited about all the plansthey have.“We are most excited about our launch of

Epilepsy South Africa Employee Recogni-tion Awards Ceremony, held in conjunctionwith Old Mutual,” says Emmanuel.The event is being held tomorrow, Friday

20 June.“We will recognise the great workers in

our protective workshops and we will alsodo a candle lighting ceremony in honour ofEpilepsy Week,” she says.Epilepsy is one of the most common seri-

ous neurological conditions and affects atleast one in every 200 people worldwide.In South Africa, one in every 100 people

have epilepsy.A physical condition, it is characterised

by unusual electrical activity in the brain.According to Epilepsy SA, it is a disorder

and not a disease.“There are many myths about epilepsy.

People tend to think it is amental illness andit is contagious. That’s why Epilepsy Weekis so important. We need to promote aware-ness and squash the myths.”Epilepsy SA’s services include counsel-

ling for the individual and the family, sup-port groups, public education and aware-ness programmes, advocacy, health and hu-man rights programmes and economicempowerment programmes.The economic empowerment programmes

aim to provide people with epilepsy and oth-er disabilities with skills and opportunitiesfor employment and to generate income that

would impact on their quality of life.The protective workshops, which form

part of the economic empowerment pro-gramme, trades with the motto Care Craft-Quality People, Quality Products.Placement of peoplewithdisabilitieswith-

in the open labour market remains a priori-ty for Epilepsy SA.After working as a cleaner at Epilepsy SA

for 11 years, Nontuthuzelo Mqweshi hasbeen promoted to administrator this month.She has had epilepsy for 19 years.“When I was a young girl I started getting

seizures, so mymom tookme to the hospitaland that’s when I found out I had epilepsy,”

says Mqweshi. With medication, her sei-zures have lessened.“Medication is important. I don’t get bad

seizures any more. I just stare for five sec-onds and then I’m fine again,” saysMqweshi.The people at Epilepsy SA don’t make me

feel like I’m crazy. I don’t know where Iwould be today if I hadn’t come here. Theymade me the person I am today.”Patricia Page has been working at Care

Craft for over 20 years and has had epilepsysince she was a young girl.“Í get bad seizures when I get too excited

or angry. InMaymysister, aunt andnephew

passed away and I thought I was handlingit well until one day I woke up and I was inhospital,” Page says. “I thought I was atwork, but the nurse told me they found meon the ground close to the bus stop.”She takes hermedication daily as she feels

better when she takes it. “I am always excit-ed to come towork, because it takesmymindoff things that worry me. I have made somany friendships at Epilepsy SA and I amjust so blessed that I am getting the help Ineed to improve my life,” says Page.V For more information about epilepsy and what todo when someone is having a seizure contact EpilepsySA (021) 703 9420 or go to www.epilepsy.org.za/.

Shoot­out for championship titleLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Cape Town’s best basketball teams willdo battle in the inaugural Cape Basket-ball Championship this weekend.

The tournamentwill feature sixmens’ andsixwomens’ sides, competing for brandnew,custom-made trophies and a share ofR20 000.

Shaun Sishuba, owner of tournament or-ganisers Platinum Media Group, says hefounded the tournament to plough back intothe sport he has loved since the age of 12.

“Basketball needs investment and atten-

tion – that’s why I came up with idea andpartnered with the Cape Town BasketballAssociation (CTBA),” he says.

“I could have invested in any sport, butthis is something close to my heart. I haveplayed and officiated in basketball. Mostplayers don’t receive any financial reward;I have never heard of any prizemoney beingawarded at tournaments since I have beeninvolved in basketball. I hope this will growbasketball.”

The winning teams will each bag R8000.Sishuba says his company will host the

tournament for the next five years, afterwhich a new contract will have to be agreed

with CTBA. The inaugural tournament willtake place at UCT on Saturday 21 and Sun-day 22 June.

Pool A of the women’s tournament in-cludes the CPUTCats second team, UCT andLethal Ladies Basketball Club, while Mon-tana Vikings, UWC and CPUT Cats firstteam make up Pool B.

Pool A of the men’s tournament featuresHurricanes, UWC and UCT, while Pool Bsees CPUT Cats, Montana Vikings and theCPUT Alumni side do battle.

Sishuba believes these are the best sidesaffiliated to the CTBA.

“These teams currently play in the CTBA

Super League, the top league in the city,” hesays.

“The pool draw was held with CTBA lastweek. These clubs have all been part of theleague for the past 18 years.”

Platinum Media Group has also agreed tosponsor the Super League next season, headds. The tournament will kick-off with around-robin phase, before the top two sidesin each group advance to the semi-finalswhere thewinner of PoolAwill play the run-ner-up of Pool B and vice versa.

Games will take place between 11:00 and18:00, with the womens’ final at 16:30 and themens’ final at 18:00 on Sunday.

School hockey teams square offLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Cape Town International Hockey Festivaldefending champions Rondebosch Boys’High School expect their biggest challengeto come from local rivals when the tourna-ment kicks-off next month.

The festival will feature 46 high schoolteams, with five of the 24 boys’ sides visitingfrom the England, one from Zimbabwe andone from Namibia.

’Bosch first teammanager SeanHarris ex-pects neighbours Wynberg Boys’ HighSchool to be their toughest opposition.

“The biggest competition is undoubtedlyWynberg Boys’ High. We pipped them in thesemi-finals last year and they are a top sideagain this year,” he says.

“Normally there are good sides from Aus-tralia in the competition, but they (will notbe competing) this time. We have two teamsfrom England in our pool.”

Rondebosch beat Wynberg 1-0 in lastyear’s semi-final, before holding off a latefight-back from Paul Roos Gymnasium towin 2-1 in the final.

Harris is confident of reaching the latterrounds of the tournament, and possibly thefinal, but knows his side will have to guardagainst complacency.

“If nothing goes wrong, we expect to playone of theBoland sides in the cross pool play-offs and possiblyWynberg ifwe get that far,”he says.

“But a lot can happen – with small poolslike these, it just takes one loss for you tofinish third instead of first.”

Rondebosch have been pooled with PaarlBoys’ High, Stellenberg High, King EdwardSchool Birmingham and the Merchant Tay-lors B-team (both England) in Group D.

Group A will be contested by WynbergBoys’, Parel Vallei High, Paarl Gymnasium,Felsted School (England), Pearson High andOuteniqua High.

GroupB features SACS, Somerset College,Hugenot High, theMerchant Taylors SchoolA-team, Windhoek Gymnasium and Up-lands College.

Paul Roos Gymnasium, DF Malan High,Pinelands High, Kingston Grammar School(England) and Eaglesvale School (Zimba-bwe) make up Group C.

Last year ’Boschwere able to call on sever-alWestern Province stars in the fight for thetitle, but this time around they will have todo without players of Zubayr Hamza’s cali-bre.

Tayo Walbrugh, who opened the scoringin last year’s final, is still available.

“We don’t quite have the same side as lastyear, but it’s a hard working team thatgrinds out results,” Harris says.

“The team has gelled quite well. It’s beena slow start (to the season), but we are pick-ing up and we have had some good wins thelast few weeks. We play attractive hockey,with good structure and we are holding ourown against most teams.”

The tournamentwill run fromWednesday23 until Sunday 27 July. Matches will beplayed at Hartleyvale Stadium, WesternProvince Cricket Club, the UCT astro turf,SACS and several other venues aroundCapeTown.

Try out for the People’s TeamSantos FC will host trials for players bornin 1997 and 1998 on Friday 20 June.The trials will start at 16:00 and will take

Water levels key to participationFormer Berg River Canoe Marathon winnerGraeme Solomon will only paddle in thisyear’s race if the river is full.

The Marina da Gama resident, a respectedveteran canoeist, has completed the famed240km race from Paarl to Velddrif 15 times.He hopes to win his second title this year.

“If it’s a low river, I’m not lining up. Butif there’s a decent water level, I’ll definitelybe at the starting line,” he says.

“What else do you do in Cape Town in Julyif you’re a paddler? I’ve done enough racesagainst 68kg guys on a low, scratchy river,where I have to get in and out of my boat andstruggle through tree blocks. If there’s waterin the river, I’ll definitely be racing. I’ve nev-er just entered to compete, I am always look-ing to win.”

The race will take place from Wednesday14 to Saturday 19 July.

While eyeing a fairytale return to the topstep of the podium he last occupied when heclinched his sole Berg River victory in 2001,Solomon is also realistic about his chancesand is enjoying his new title of “elite compet-itor” rather than “title favourite”.

“When you’re the favourite there is a lotof pressure on you,” he says.

“That pressure now falls on the shouldersof Lance King and the younger guys. I havealways raced to win but, as Hank McGregor

once said, when you’ve won one Berg, thenanother doesn’t really matter too much.Having won previously, all I can do is thesame or worse. It would obviously be reallynice to win, but if I don’t I’ll be okay too.”

Solomon is happy to just be competing athis age.

The 41-year-old recently got his Cape rivermarathon season off to a solid start with asecond-place finish in the Devil’s Peak Gou-da to Bridgetown race, adding the South Af-rican National Marathon Championshipveteran title to his collection as well.

He believes any a good performance in theBerg requires mental toughness.

“The race is a very unique; there isn’t an-other race in SA like it,” he says

“It’s a long way, so it’s not a question oftrying to race the hardest – it’s about prepar-ing for a lot of long, hard hours in the waterand outlasting the rest of the field. A poten-tial winner must to be mentally strongenough to race long distances, in testing con-ditions, on their own.”

With the province riddled with snow-capped mountains, many believe the chanc-es of the province’s rivers filling up prior tothe start of this year’s race are high which,meaning the evergreen Solomon will likelyput in another determined effort.V For more information visit www.berg.org.za.

SLA rugby action this weekendLIAM MOSES

LiamCPT

Hamiltons can take a major step towardswinning the Super League A title andqualifying for next year’s Community

Cup with another win this weekend.Hammies notched up their seventh victory

of the season at home against Helderberg onSaturday, scoring four tries to win 40-7. Thevictory has seen South Africa’s oldest clubclimb to second on the table and they can annexfirst place if they repeat the feat this weekend.

Current first-placed side UCT hold 35 pointsfrom seven wins in eight games, but they willnot play again until late July.

If Hamiltons claim all the points on offer intheir fixture against 13th place Bellville RFC,they will increase their points tally to 38 andswop places with UCT.

Third-placed Stellenbosch University will al-so be out of action until July and this gives Con-stantia’s False Bay an opportunity climb tothird – at least temporarily.

Maties have a 100% record, with seven winsfrom seven matches and 32 log points. Bay havewon six of their eight games and hold fourthplace with 30 points.

This weekend they host eighth-placed Hel-derberg in Constantia and will be confident ofsnatching all five points after the visitors’heavy loss to Hammies.

Primrose were set to host Durbanville-Bel-lville at Rosmead last weekend, but the matchwas postponed.

Roses lost their last game to False Bay athome the previous week and they would havebeen desperate for a win to avoid slipping intoa losing streak.

Despite the bye, Primrose are still 10th on thetable with 14 points after two wins, a draw andfive losses.

Whether the unexpected break has aided orhindered them will be determined on Saturday,when they host Kuils River RFC at Rosmead.

Kuils River are ninth on the table, with justtwo wins and seven losses and Roses shouldcome away with all five points.

SK Walmers will not be involved in thisweekend’s action, but they go into the breaksatisfied after a 17-15 win against NNK on Sat-urday.V All games will start at 16:00.
