The transformation of the Muizenberg beachfront has been down tostrategic redevelopment and gettingrid of rundown buildings.

@nickymccain

Ten years ago the Muizenberg beach-front was a “no-go” area, but today itis a booming hub.

With the last development along thestretch – housing a surf school, coffee shopand two restaurants – open from December,the strategic redevelopment of the area isone of the reasons visitors flock to the area.Steven Frankel, developer and chairper-

sonof theMuizenberg ImprovementDistrict(MID), believes a surge in business confi-dence has made the area more desirable forproperty owners and developers.

“Brands want to be here now. People wantto be here and so businesses want to be here.It’s key to keep up thismomentum,” he says.Growing up in the area, Frankel remem-

bers the time when Muizenberg was consid-ered Cape Town’s top holiday destination.“It was the Camps Bay of Cape Town.

There was a reason why people came herethen and we realised there must be some-thing we can do to bring the spark back.”A decade ago, most of the buildings along

the beachfront were rundown and manywere occupied illegally. Because of the highlevel of crime the beach had long lost its ap-peal, explainsMID deputy chairperson, Les-ley Schroeder.

Tackling the overcrowding and relatedcrime was key to revitalising the area andbringing back development, Schroeder says.“The upgrading and redevelopment of the

strip has had a major influence, bringing ina well-balanced mix of offerings. This, cou-pledwith the recent upgrade of Surfer’s Cor-ner, has significantly improved the overallappeal of Muizenberg beach. Today our big-gest challenge is finding parking solutionsfor the 12 000 cars that flow in and out onbusy weekends and the thorny issue of in-formal car guarding,” she says.Frankel believes the future of the beach-

front lies in partnering with the council toprovide top-notch amenities to cater for the

increasingnumberof visitors, aswell as pro-viding a controlled parking area so “peoplecan feel safe and secure”.Additional safety is provided byMID, says

public safety director Hugo Coetzee. This in-cludes car patrols along the beachfront andfoot patrols on the beach during the holidayseason.“The future is looking very positive.Muiz-

enberg beach is first and foremost aboutsurfing. Everything else complements that.That said, theMIDdoesnot intend to sit backand take a breather – the key is to keepwork-ing tomaintain a quality and safe visitor ex-perience.WewantMuizenberg to be aworld-class destination.”

People’s Post spread holiday cheer and helped seven fosterchildren get their schoolyear of to a great start by donating some of their muchneededstationery, along with lunch boxes and caps. Earlier in the holidays People’s Post alsodonated a Christmas tree and decorations to the Eniwe Children’s Fund foster home inVrygrond.

“I had to focus on getting better first andthen slowly focus on learning. The sup-

port from my classmates and family hasbeen absolutely incredible; I wouldn’t havedone it without them.”These are the words of Andrew John

Tucker (18) from Noordhoek who has ma-triculated from Sacs in Newlands. Heachieved seven distinctions in the recentmatric exam, and is the top matriculant inthe country.Tucker received a special ministerial

award at an award ceremony at the pre-mier’s residence to honour pupils andschools in the province that did well in theexams.Andrew was one of two pupils who were

celebrated by Debbie Schäfer, provincialminister of education, for their exceptionalcourage and determination. Andrew ex-celled in his final exams despite a tremen-dous challenge he faced building up to it.At the beginning of hismatric yearhewas

diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disor-der called Guillain-Barré syndrome, whichis a debilitating disease. This led him tomiss almost six months of schooling lastyear – including the entire first term andparts of the second term.His fatherPeter says itwasadifficult time

for them.“It was really difficult for us as a family

but it brought us together. We had to bestrong for him and support him inwhichev-er way. Not knowing what was wrong withhimmade it even worse. When he was diag-nosed we dealt with it better; others havehad it worse,” he says.Missing entire parts of the curriculum

and battling with his health, which includ-ed losing the ability to write and even walk,Andrew could have decided to postponecompleting his matric by a year.However, he made the decision to perse-

vere and with a positive attitude and nu-merous sessions of occupational and physi-cal therapy, he set out to complete his mat-ric, learning to write and walk again.

With the support of friends and family, hecaught up on the work he had missed bystudying photocopied class notes. When hefinally returned to school, he was still veryweak physically and could only come toschool for an hour or two at a time.By the time he wrote his June exams, he

was still suffering from fatigue and muscletwitches, among other things..Andrew says passing the exams has been

a humbling experience for him.“Itwas difficult. I had to beat setbacks. Be-

ing diagnosed was very frightening, but itmademe andmy family deal with the situa-tion better. I couldn’t hold a pen. I had tolearn from scratch and take things slowly.I’m glad that I managed to pass. I’m truly

thankful to everyone who helped me. De-spite my condition I took a decision to goahead with my exams. I had put a lot intoit; I was determined to go ahead despite mychallenge,” he says.Despite what he went through he is glad

that he is on the road to full recovery. Hewill be starting his first year in Medicineat the University of Cape Town.His mother Meghan says Andrew moti-

vated himself.“We wanted him to stay at home but he

was determined and wanted to go back toschool. Him doing sowell is just an amazingthing and it makes us forget how scary andtraumatic it was when he was ill. It reallywarms our hearts,” she says.

NOORDHOEK

Top pupil beat worst oddsfrom Peninsula home

Peter, Jenna, Andrew and Meghan Tucker from Noordhoek say Andrew’s achievements in thematric exam warms their hearts and gives them the strength to smile despite what he wentthrough. Andrew passed matric with seven distinctions and is the top matriculant in thecountry despite being diagnosed with a rare disease that led him to lose many days of schoolin his matric year. The disease even made it impossible for him to write and walk.

a week, help more than 350 adults andchildren, explains volunteer RichardSaner.“For them, standing in the queue for

a nutritious cup of soup and a slice ofbread is worth it, as it is their onlyhealthy meal that week,” he says.The volunteers also provide a safe

space for children, who come early tocolour in or listen tomusic and stories.The soupkitchensare inneedofhelp

– either through volunteers’ time ordonations of carrots, potatoes, butter-nut, turnips, celery, stock cubes, soupmix, lentils, onions and oranges.“We are experiencing difficulties

Locals act tosave propertyNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Agroup of Muizenberg residents hasbanded together to fight a problem

building in Clevedon Road.The house was vacated by the tenant be-

fore Christmas and vandalsmoved in short-ly after. A resident alerted the local neigh-bourhood watch, the Muizenberg Commu-nity Safety Initiative (MCSI), to concernsneighbours had about the property.Themanager of theMuizenberg Improve-

ment District (MID) was consulted andalerted the police, while the MID directorresponsible for bad buildings contacted theCity’s problem building unit. MID publicsafety patrollers started to conduct regularstops at the property to monitor activity,says MCSI chairperson Trevor Snyders.On 4 January a neighbour saw the front

door broken down and men ransacking thehouse, loading baths, light fittings, guttersand furniture into trolleys and vehicles.“By this time the property reeked of urine

and broken alcohol bottles were spreadacross the property,” he says.It has taken years of concerted effort by

the MID and the community to rid Muizen-berg of tenant overcrowding, drug dealingand crime caused by absentee landlords,says Snyders.“Now this situation posed an immediate

and serious threat to the security of all resi-dents in the vicinity. The MCSI was not go-ing to stand idly by and let it happen.”A community meeting was called, a plan

of action agreed and working together viathe MCSI WhatsApp group, memberssprang into action to halt the destruction.

Ward councillor Dave D’Alton undertookto liaisewith theCity’s health inspector andrelevant City departments. The attorney ofthe property owner was tracked down.The attorney authorised the police to le-

gally remove the trespassers.“He said, however, it would be difficult to

find a contractor to secure the propertyover the Christmas period,” Snyders ex-plains.Undeterred, MCSI members used their

own money to buy materials. Volunteersspent an afternoon securing the building.“The driveway access was welded shut,

the entire frontage topped with razor wireandawebcammounted tomonitor the prop-erty.”An increase in crime is motivating resi-

dents to join the MCSI and take back theircommunity by actively patrolling and alert-ing each other to security risks, Snyders be-lieves.“Sadly, thepropertyhas alreadybeengut-

ted, but the combined action has preventedcriminals from occupying the building anddoing further damage and has provided se-curity to those living around the property.”Community engagement like this is vital

in tackling problem buildings, says MID di-rector for public safety Hugo Coetzee.MID estimated that at least a third of

Muizenberg property owners are absenteelandlords.“It’s crucial to have community involve-

ment. A few years ago, if a neighbour’s gatewas open, most people would have ignoredit. Now neighbours will alert each other tothings like that.”V Visit the Muizenberg Community Safety Initiativeat www.mcsi.org.za or email [email protected].

The last few weeks of commentsand observations shared on socialmedia have shown us that racismis still alive and well in South Afri-ca.More than 20 years into our “new

South Africa” we still find peopleholding on to prejudices thatshould have been discarded longago.Many are even quick to use ra-

cism as an argument against ra-tional criticism, especiallywith re-gard to the government.While some may claim that ra-

cial tensions are a complex prob-lem, made up of skewed historybooks, cultural difference, classsystems and generations of indoc-trination, none of these points pro-vide any reason to treat anotherhuman being with disrespect.Science has shown us that on av-

erage, humans share 90% of theirDNAwith other humans with only10%distinguishing one populationor race from the other.And archaeologists have shown

us that broadly speaking, we allshare the same ancestors.At our very core, we are all made

up the same. In fact, pigmentationis merely the result of humanity’sadaptability and the body’s re-sponse to ultraviolet radiation.Further investigation shows

that darker complexions were de-veloped in the tropics, closer to theequator, where there is more needfor protection from harmful sunrays.Why then would this be any rea-

son to treat anyone any different-ly?Others say that racial belief

structures have been passed onthrough generations and would beimpossible to change.Cognitive psychology, however,

has shown us that with a littlework, it is indeed possible tochange thought patterns.Perhaps it is time to start recon-

sidering the way we see the world,and to start changing our thoughtpatterns.

Don’t lieWhat a good start to 2016: Your story“New houses planned” (People’s Post, 12January) would have been even better if100% true.The 227 planned houses (“phase 4

housing project”) are not new, but apromise of at least 12 years to thecommunity – in fact to at least 2170families still living in shacks (or “in-formal dwellings” as mayoral committeemember Benedicta van Minnen con-firms) and about another 6000 familiesliving in shacks as backyarders. Apromise postponed year by year.It is the only housing project in the

history of Masi directed at the poorresidents (those who do not own land),beside the private-public funded Ama-khaya ngoku (AN) housing project with252 flats so far (120 still outstanding).While the AN housing project does

care 100% for residents, the new 227houses will be shared via an “allocationsplit” with “applicants earliest on thedatabase across the city” (not only Masiresidents). How many? No-one knows.Out of more than 8000 families desper-

ately hoping for a house, fewer than 200will get one.Good news is that some Masi families

have received letters for the first timeever from the City confirming that theyare “maybe considered”. What anexcitement! And carefully hidden, sono-one in Masi knows how many havereceived such letters.Every effort to create development in

Masi, especially housing, is mostappreciated. Even more if told in fulltruth.

A secondhand baby and toddler shop hasopened in Fish Hoek – but this is one

with a difference. All the income made atthe Naomi’s Joy shop will go towards find-ing “forever families” for orphaned orabandoned children.Only a year old,Naomi’s Joy is an organi-

sation which cares for abandoned and or-phaned children until they are adopted. Ithelps families get accredited as care fami-lies for these children, and will soon havefour families accredited and trained to caresuch children. The organisation’s firstadoption is currently in progress.While setting up the organisation,

founder Jane Stephenson realised a sourceof fundingwas needed to support her work.“We realised everything costsmoney and

we sawneeds in our community.Often chil-dren are removed from abusive situationswith nothing. We began to brainstorm howwe could help the department of social de-velopment and decided to put togetherpacks that could be collected from us andtaken with the children to their new placesof safety,” she says.The shop is also a resource centre for the

care families to be supportedwith clothing,prams and cots, Stephenson says.“As these are used, they will be returned

on a library system. However, the shop isalso open for anyone,” she says.The proceeds will go towards the day-to-

day cost of Naomi’s Joy, as well as lookingafter the organisation’s babies.“A child may need special medical care

andwe could be able to support those costs.We also have some community projects inmind that include job-creation projects.Wewould like to contribute to other like-mind-ed organisations and are looking at ongo-ing care for those who do not get adopted,”she says.V For more information visit www.naomisjoy.co.za orNaomi’s Joy at 4A Green Parrot Place, RecreationRoad.

A section of the M3 between NewlandsandTrovato Link inWynberg is to be re-

surfaced from late January or early Februa-ry.

The roadworks will happen during nighttime and take about four and a half months.

The project, at a cost of R17m, should becompleted by mid-May.

IanBowker, the head of pavementmateri-als and rehabilitation at Transport for CapeTown, says all construction work has beenscheduled to take place at night so that mo-torists are inconvenienced as little as possi-ble.

“Work on the outbound lane will takeplace between 19:30 and 05:30 and work onthe inbound lane will be done between 19:00and 05:00. Residents’ concerns regarding

noise levels have been taken into accountand limited use of jackhammers will be al-lowed until 23:00.“Unfortunately, reverse beepers are a le-

gal safety requirement but we have speci-fied that they be dampened to try to mini-mise their impact. We have also specifiedregular pre-work meetings with the workcrew to remind themabout reducing on-sitenoise levels,” says Bowker.The project will repair and resurface all

parts of the M3 in the area that were notcompleted during the resurfacing done in2014.The slow lanes in both directions will be

treated with three new asphalt layers whilethe fast lanes will receive two new layers.In both lanes the existing old asphalt willbe removed and replaced. The final layerwill consist of an ultra-thin friction courseand will ensure a durable road surface.

No gridlock worries

Colin Burke, president of the Rota-ry Club of Newlands, donated anemergencyvehicle to theEmergen-cy Assistance Volunteer Support(EVS) on the South Peninsula thisweek.His dream became a reality after

two and a half years of negotia-tions, fundraising and engagementwith sponsors and partners.The shortage of emergency re-

sponse vehicles is a serious prob-lem in the Western Cape, the orga-nisation says in a statement, espe-cially with the numerous fires thatneed to be contended with at thistime of year.With the recent fundraising

project of the Club, it was able todonate a multipurpose vehicle tothe EVS.

“We are incredibly grateful to allthe support that we have receivedfrom all our sponsors and support-ers; without their selfless generosi-ty, this project would not have be-come a reality.“With the generous support from

Isuzu Trucks SA, we were able todonate a fully-kitted,multipurposevehicle, which will provide servi-ces to residents in the Deep South,from Claremont to Cape Point, in-cluding Masiphumelele, OceanView and Redhill,” says Burke.“The support has been over-

whelming.We even received a gen-erous donation from the RotaryClub of Albert Park in Melbourne,Australia, who took it upon them-selves to organise a raffle to helpraise funds for this project.”

Softballers face tough rivalsJOSEPH PILLAY

Westridge Yankees’ softbal-lers can be proud after hav-ing a very good andwell de-

served harvest on the Cape TownSoftball Association’s super leagueplaying fields over the weekend.The Mitchell’s Plain side first

staved off a stiff challenge by Fal-cons, beating them 5-0 in an en-counter at Turfhall Stadium onSaturday.This victory was followed by a

thrilling knockout encounter onSunday when St Martin’s cameclose to upstaging the Yankees ina see-saw game. The Yankees man-aged to rise to the occasion to edgeout Saints 6-5.Saturday’s win over the Falcons

served as a morale-boosting tri-umph for the Yankees, who weredetermined to break the strangle-hold Falcons have had over themin recent months.The Yankees were in a destruc-

tive mood, with the battery combi-nation of pitcher Megan Cable andcatcher Carla Witchman sharingin four strike outs.Cable faced 23 batters in her six

innings pitched. While she conced-ed two base-on-balls and earnedfour fanned scalps, she surren-dered only twohits toCandiceRoss(1-3) and Bettina Philips (1-3), whoweighed in with a two bagger.Meanwhile, Falcons started off

withCathyBuckley and shewasonthemound for 4.1 of an innings. Shefaced 22 batters and allowed sevenhits while relief pitcher Nicky

Jones (1.2 of an inning) faced ninebatters and surrendered three hits.Among the ten hits the Yankees

clobbered off the Falcons’ pitching

pair.Witchman (2-2), Cable, JackieAdonis (each 2-3), CharmelleWhiteboy (1-2), Candice Bull (1-3)and Nuraan Williams (1-4), who

smacked a triple, were in goodstead with the bat that contributedto runs and simultaneously a de-served and industrious win.

Westridge create season upsetSEAN CAMPBELL

Westridge Yankees collected allfour points on offer this weekendafter their disappointing loss lastweekend.On Saturday Westridge caused

the biggest upset of the season bybeating league leader Bothasig 8-5at Stephen Reagan sportsground.Bothasig struggled to come to

grips with the off-speed pitching ofDean Martin, who threw seven in-nings and only conceded six hitsand five runs. Martin’s consistentpitching was well supported by hisfield, who only made a single errorin the game.Bothasig’s Brad Erasmus hit a

solo home-run in the eighth in-nings after which Martin was re-placed by Jason Ripepi, who keptBothasig scoreless until the end.Westridge continued their win-

ning ways on Sunday when they

trounced Silvertree 7-2 at StephenReagan sportsground.Luwayne du Plessis shouldered

the pitching duties for Westridgeand restricted Silvertree to fivehits and two runs. Silvertreescored both of their runs in the sec-ond innings.

Bellville leapfrog AthloneBellville narrowly beat Athlone

3-1 in a tough encounter at Park-town sports complex on Saturday.A tough pitching duel between

the two sides saw Russell Olivierand Callan Pearce of Bellville al-lowing Athlone five hits for theirrun and Carl Michaels and LloydStevens conceding four hits, allow-ing Bellville three runs.Bellville scored two runs in the

third innings after catcherAlistairVeale could not hold onto a greatthrow from Leon Dodgen fromright field. The error allowed Alan

Randall and Anthony Phillips toscore from second and first base re-spectively off the base hit from Jo-nathan Phillips.Athlone narrowed the lead to 2-1

in the sixth innings but Bellvillereached the winning score with asacrifice fly fromAnthony Phillipsin the eighth.

Maitland Giants impressMaitland consolidated their top

spot in the promotion league bypounding in the runs againstThistle in their 18-0 win at Otterysports field.An excellent pitching display by

Carlo Koks, who has been usedsparingly this season, set up thevictory for Maitland in five in-nings.His pitching was backed up with

some good hitting by JaydeeThorne, Kyle Inglis and Tauriq Ge-orge. Maitland scored runs in eachinning.
