A decision to commence construction ofa new toilet facility at Soetwater Re-sort has resulted in the City of Cape

Town being fined R40 000.According to a trusted source, the founda-

tion for the new facility was created in 2012on a wetland close to a braai spot at the re-sort.

The source says the City’s sport, recrea-tion and amenities department undertook tobuild the new facility.

But when the proposal was sent to the var-ious line departments, an official in the envi-ronmental department raised concernsabout the presence of a wetland.

However, according to the source, thesport, recreation and amenities department

then commenced with the construction ofthe foundation and theCitywas informed anEnvironmental Impact Assessment (EIA)was requiredbefore construction could com-mence.

This resulted in the Department of Envi-ronmental Affairs and Development Plan-ning (DEADP) fining the City R40 000.

During a visit to the resort, a fence couldbe seen placed around the defunct founda-tion which is surrounded by vegetation.

Workers confirm this is the foundationbuilt in 2012.

However, they say: “It was stopped by theenvironmental [department].”

According to BelindaWalker, CityMayor-al CommitteeMember for Community Ser-vices and Special Projects, a subcommitteeof the Municipal Public Accounts Commit-tee recommended an investigation be con-

ducted into the payment of the fine.This decision, she says, was made in De-

cember.She says the existing ablution block only

has toilets and no shower facilities and is in-appropriately located on the front dunes onthe beachfront.

“The increase in annual campers on thissite also necessitated the construction of anew ablution block that is more appropriatethan the existing block.

“The entire Soetwater Resort has been up-graded in a phased approach and the con-struction of this new ablution block in thiscamping site is part of this phased process,”Walker explains.

She says when the project was underway,plans were submitted but could not be ap-proved until the EIA process was complet-ed.

“This process resulted in the City incur-ring a fine for commencing work in what isregarded as an environmentally sensitivearea without the necessary impact studyand approval.”

Once the finewas paid and the documenta-tion completed, the City was free to re-com-mence with the project.

Walker says the “implementing depart-ment” is now following up on the plan ap-proval to enable the project to re-commenceand be completed.

Askedhowmuch thenew facilitywill cost,Walker says the department is following upon the approval of the building plan and costestimates, and a timeline will be confirmedafter approval has been received.V What are your thoughts on the facilities at Soetwa­ter?

Pipes under microscopeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the use of hookah pipes in restau-rants and other venues becomes morepopular, the City of Cape Town is lob-

bying for legislative clarity on the matter.According to a statement, the City will be

escalating its efforts this year for legislativeclarity on the wide array of “alternative”smoking devices and habits that have be-come commonplace in South Africa.

Tobacco ActBenedicta van Minnen, City Mayoral

Committee Member for Health, says earlierthis year the City solicited legal opinionfrom the national health department aboutthe use of electronic or e-cigarettes, but saysthis continues to be a grey area as there areno provisions for these items in the TobaccoControl Amendment Act.When it comes to the smoking of ciga-

rettes, Van Minnen says the legislation isvery clear and the City is seeking similarclarity on hookah pipes and e-cigarettes. “Inthe absence of legislation, there is nothingthat prevents establishments from ‘renting’hookah pipes to patrons or the pipes beingused in areas where smoking would other-wise not be allowed,” she explains.

HealthVan Minnen further highlights research

done on the effects of hookah pipe smoking.She explains in the most recent study in

America, it was found that 39% of teenagersand young adults who had previouslysmokedhookahpipeswent on to smoke ciga-rettes. “Hookah pipes are very popular inCape Town, not just among adults, but alsochildren because there is a perception thatthe flavoured tobacco is somehow not harm-ful. Tobacco is tobacco, no matter what theflavour. We need to be more mindful as a so-ciety about the burden we’re placing on thehealthcare system.”With high levels of respiratory diseases

such as tuberculosis, Van Minnen says au-thoritieshave tomakeevery effort to combat

these.Officials from the City’s health depart-

ment have met with researchers from bothUCT and the UWC. “The consensus is thatwhile the research is not definitive, smokinghookah pipes is harmful to the health of anindividual. The researchers are also inagreement that nicotine remains one of themost addictive substances, especially foryoung people,” says Van Minnen.

EffectsAccording to a fact sheet by theSouthAfri-

canMedical Research Council (MRC) smokefrom a hookah pipe is not better than ciga-rette smokebecause it passes throughwater.This is because, like cigarette smoke, hook-ah smoke contains poisons including nico-

tine, tar, carbonmonoxide, arsenic and lead.The sheet covers a variety of topics includ-

ing the long-term health effects of smokinghookah.It says smoking hookah can be as addic-

tive as cigarettes and the long-term effectsinclude cancers of the mouth, lungs andbladder or a heart attack.In addition the spread of other diseases

are often linked to smoking hookah as thepipe is shared among smokers.The sheet also outlines the effects of sec-

ondary smoke from a hookah pipe whichnon-smokers, in this instance, are exposedto. “Children whose parents smoke hookahsare more likely to have lung infections thanchildren whose parents do not,” it reads.

StudyAccording to a study conducted by Profes-

sor Angela Mathee, who heads the MRC’sEnvironment and Health Research Unit infive “deprived” areas in Johannesburg, highrates of hookah smoking were observed.As part of the study, a surveywas conduct-

edwithGrade 10 pupils fromanearby schoolwhere it was found that 60% of pupils hadused or were currently smoking hookahpipes. The results also indicate thatmost us-ers started smoking hookah pipes betweenthe ages of 13 and 15.The study also says a significant number

of users had reported using marijuana or al-cohol-based products along with the tobac-co. It highlights the need for nationwide re-search on the extent of hookah smoking inSouth Africa.Van Minnen says she will be raising the

issues with national health minister AaronMotsoaledi to push for legal clarity on theuse of hookah pipes and e-cigarettes soonerrather than later. “I am not necessarilypushing for a ban on the devices, because tobe fair there is not definitive proof of theirimpact. But we do need to close the legisla-tive vacuum where these devices are con-cerned,” she concludes.V Do you think Hookah pipes are dangerous?

FISH HOEK

Man identifiedMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The family of the man whose body wasfound tied to a mooring block at FishHoek beach have come forward to

identify him.News about the man’s identity spread

across the valley on Tuesday 13 January.Fish Hoek police have confirmed his

name is Andrew Pennacchini (50) fromMuizenberg.Pennacchini’s body was found by the

Shark Spotter’s crew on Friday 2 January,tied to the mooring with cable ties.According to police spokesperson War-

rant Officer Peter Middleton the post mor-tem has been completed and at this stagethe police do not suspect foul play.He explains theman’s handswere tied in

front of his body and not behind his back.The cause of death is drowning and Mid-

dleton says the evidence does not point to-wards a murder.“For this reason, Fish Hoek police have

been investigating an inquest docket,” hesays.“The evidence suggests this was a sui-

cide but the docket will still go to a magis-trate before it is closed,” he says.Lastweek police cluster commander Col-

onelMartin Swanepoel explained since thediscovery, police were going throughmiss-ing persons reports to see whether any ofthesematched the body foundon the beach.During this time, Middleton explains,

the station was contacted by two familiesfrom Gauteng who had reported a missingrelative but these were “negative”.Middleton explains following amedia re-

port calling on anyone who may know theman to come forward, the investigating of-ficer received a call from a relative enquir-ing whether it was Pennacchini.The relative then sent police a photo-

graph and the officer arranged for the fami-ly to identify the body.“They identified the body on Friday 9

January and I was notified on Monday 12January,” Middleton adds.A bag belonging to Pennachini was also

found on Fish Hoek Beach.Responding to reports about cable ties

found lying on the catwalk,Middleton saysthese did not match those found on thebody.

Bold plan to haltschool dropoutsConcerned about the number of OceanView children dropping out of school, oneman has taken it upon himself to help par-ents ensure each child receives a qualityeducation.JohannKikillus, director of SoteriaMin-

istries, will meet with interested parentsthis week to provide assistance.He says over the past four years he has

noticed a large number of children dropout of school in Ocean View.“Each year, several hundred begin in

Grade 1, yet roughly 100 actually finishGrade 12. Dropouts at high school levelhave always been a problem, especially inGrade 9. This is a national problem,” hesays.However, over the past few years Kiki-

llus has dealt with children as young aseight who have dropped out.“The impact of so many dropouts on a

small village such as Ocean View has cata-strophic implications. In my experience,the vast majority of dropouts eventuallyexperiment with drugs, gangsterism or be-come teenage parents. Most concerning isthat they are virtually unemployable,which leads to a life of frustration and of-ten poverty,” he explains.In his work, Kikillus has found that

many children are not adequately pre-pared for school and “get lost in the sys-tem”.“Too many of them, for various reasons,

do not have the benefit of attending GradeR and having a solid foundation for ‘big’school. As a result, some of them developpoor gross and fine motor skills, behav-ioural problems and ill discipline.

“Many six-year-olds I have worked withdo not know the alphabet or numbers andcannot do basic tasks such aswriting theirnames,” he says.Kikillus believes every child has the

right to a quality education and the oppor-tunity to address any academic challengesthey may have.For these reasons, Kikillus hopes to ad-

dress the issue by ensuring that everychild aged five and six is able to completeGrade R.He has requested that parents and

guardians of children born in 2008 and2009, who are not enrolled in a Grade Rclass, contact him.“This offer is aimed predominately at

children whose parents are unable to af-ford sending their children to school orchildren who come from circumstances ofneglect,” he explains.Kikillus says in many cases the parents

or guardiansmay not be interested or will-ing to assist their children with Grade Rand in these instances he appeals to thegrandparents or any other concernedadult to contact him.He will be at the Praise Cafe every day

from 08:00 to 09:00. There will also be abook where you can leave your contact de-tails and Kikillus will contact you.Take along your child’s birth certificate

and SA Social Security Agency slip.Should you have neither of those docu-ments, he will assist you with those.Next week Kikillus will also assist

with all children aged between eight and16 years old who have not returned toschool.

New hope foryoung childrenMONIQUE DUVAL

Young children in Masiphumelele willsoon have more to look forward to asthey prepare to start school.

This followsplansbyMasiphumeleleCor-poration (Masicorp) and the Rotary Club ofNewlands to build twonewEarlyChildhoodCentres (ECDs).In a statement released late in December,

the City of Cape Town said it had approvedthe donation of two centres which are setto cost R2.6m and R3.7m respectively.South Peninsula Subcouncil chairperson

Felicity Purchase explains as these centresare to be constructed on City-owned land,the donations will cover the developmentlevies.The first centre will be situated on the old

soccer field, while the secondwill form partof the Phase 4 housing project.Purchase says Masicorp conducted a sur-

vey of all existing ECDs in Masiphumelelelast year and found that four centres of ex-cellence were needed to ensure young chil-dren are ready for school.“We find children who are not ready for

school because they do not have a properfoundation. With the centres we hope to ad-dress this andhelp children develop proper-ly and hopefully this will result in them do-

ing well at school,” Purchase says.She adds the new centres will help tackle

various issues faced by other ECDs in Ma-siphumelele, such as untrained teachers.Purchase further says there are many

centreswhichdonotmeet the criteria stipu-lated by the Social Development Depart-ment because of the current facilities.With the new centres, authorities hope to

“absorb” current ECDs into the new cen-tres.According toSuzetteLittle, theCitymay-

comember for Social Development andEar-ly Childhood Development, Masiphumeleleis classified as one of the most vulnerablecommunities in terms of the Socio-Econom-ic Status (SES) index.“The construction of these facilities will

provide accessible ECD services in an areawhere there is a very great need,” says Lit-tle.“I want to thankMasicorp and the Rotary

Club of Newlands for their efforts in ensur-ing a better future for this particular com-munity,” she says.Purchase also says an additional two cen-

tres are on the cards, one of which will belocated at the old farm house which operat-ed as an ECD several years ago.V Do you think the new centres will help children inMasiphumelele? Starting with the word “Post”, SMSyour thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

OCEAN VIEW

Help centreto open soonMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A shiny new structure has emerged in Ocean Viewasworkmenarehardatwork to complete thenewcentre from where various community projects

will be run.The site will soon be home to the Open Door Centre

which is run by Valley Development Projects (VDP).According to a statement in 2000, the Rotary Club

Cape of Good Hope initiated the Ocean View OpenDoor Centre where abused women and children couldfeel safe and receive counselling and support.

Since then it has become inadequate and, togetherwith VDP, the Rotarians have embarked on a plan tobuild a new facility situated in Flamingo Way – adja-cent to the current facility.

During a walkabout of the construction site lastweek, project manager Hans Zwets explained the newbuilding will consist of a reception area, consultingrooms for social workers, a hall, a kitchen for the feed-ing scheme, therapy rooms and ablution facilities.

It will also consist of a room for group therapy forpeople struggling with substance abuse.

There will be a separate entrance for this part of thecentre.

The project offers a variety of services which in-clude, among others, a daily feeding scheme for over200 children, social work services, substance abusecounselling, weekly youth group meetings, parenttraining and holiday programmes.

The estimated cost of the centre is just under R1.5m.Rotary Club Cape of Good Hope president Bev Frie-

slich explains VDP committed to raise R606 000 to-wards the project and Rotary agreed to raise the re-maining R880 000.

At this stage, Rotary has raised R150 000 and are all

appealing for donations to complete the project.Frieslich says the centre will be a safe haven for the

affected communities which provides various servicesdesperately needed in Ocean View and Masiphumele-le.

Sue Burger of VDP says the centre will go a long wayto assist the community. She says children often queueoutside on rainy days to get their daily meal. With thenew centre this will no longer be a problem.V If you would like to make a donation call Frieslich on082 825 6053 or email bevfrieslich@telkomsa.net.

Invite to Run the RoodebergMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

In the early hours on Saturday 24 January,walkers, runners andnature lovers acrossCape Town will be preparing to Run the

Roodeberg.A bold campaign to help preserve and en-

joy the mountain slopes behind Capri hastaken shape.In January last year, WWF South Africa,

the TableMountain Fund and SouthAfricanNational Parks set out to obtain two piecesof privately owned land for incorporation in-

to the Table Mountain National Park(TMNP). They launched their campaign,called Restore the Roodeberg, and lobbied toraise R9.2m to acquire the remaining prop-erties on the northern section.In a statement issued in July, the conser-

vation bodies announced they had boughtthe 134ha property, one of the two pieces ofland. Following this campaign, the CapriNeighbourhoodWatch launched theRun theRoodeberg event.Watch member Eric Riemann says along

with efforts to raise funds for the CapriCCTV camera project, the watch sought a

sustainable model to fund the project.They conceptualised the running event

which will see 250 participants take to thehiking trails to take in breathtaking viewsof the mountainscape and help raise fundsfor the Restore the Roodeberg campaign.Riemann says the eventwill consist of two

trails of 16km and 6km respectively.According to their website, runners will

start the 16km race by crossing the foot-bridge that divides the Navy’s land fromTMNP, passing the Glencairn Stables andclimbing up to the top of Glencairn Pass.For the 6km race, runners will start at the

same point but after the 3km mark it takesa left turn and rewards the runners withsome fun fast flowing tracks.Riemann says participants pay R90 for the

6kmandR150 for the 16km; R50 of each entrywill go towards the campaign. The remain-der of the funds will cover operational costsand go towards the Capri NeighbourhoodWatch. They plan to publish the financialsto ensure transparency. “The event is aboutcelebrating community collaboration tohelp restore the Roodeberg and improvesafety of residents in Capri.”V Register on www.runtheroodeberg.co.za.

SPORTMeet SA’s first grandmasterIf Kenny Solomon (33) did not choose toplay chess, life could have been very dif-ferent for him.This native of Mitchell’s Plain, who now

lives in Italy, was awarded the title of chessgrandmaster after winning the Africa indi-vidual chess championship in Namibia lastmonth.He is only the second grandmaster in sub-

Saharan Africa after Amon Simutowe ofZambia and the very first South African tohave been awarded this honour.Determined to not become a statistic in a

community where gang culture and drugabuse are rife, Solomon taught himself thegame of chess after reading a book aboutformer world champion Anatoly Karpov.Two years later, Solomon won the nationalunder-16 championship.“I was exposed to gang culture from an

early age,” Solomon said. “I realised that ifI did not createmyown future, Iwouldmere-ly become a pawn in this scene, trapped inthe violent, oppressive cycle of gangsterism.Strong family values and my early interestin chess keptme away from these influencesand compelledme tomake choices aboutmyfate.”Although he currently lives in Italy,

where he competes on the European circuit,Solomon always returns to his home town,Mitchells Plain, to give back to the commu-nity and share his knowledge. Along withthe Department of Cultural Affairs andSport (DCAS), Solomon has organised vari-ous exhibitions inwhichhe has both partici-pated and taught youth about the game.“Kenny Solomon is a prime example of the

hero that we would like our youth to lookup to – someonewhomakes thebest of oppor-tunities, and who exceeds all expectations,”said Theuns Botha, Western Cape Ministerof Cultural Affairs and Sport.V Share your thoughts.
