Asign installed at the Sunnyacres Shop-ping Centre which diverts trafficthrough Faerie Knowe has raised the

hackles of several residents.Residents are now procuring signatures to

a petition to have the back gate at the centreclosed.

Dale Harris, who has taken up the issueon behalf of residents, has collected 54 signa-tures of Faerie Knowe residents. “For yearsthis gate was shut. Suddenly, in mid-May,the gate was opened and left open.’’

Limited access used to be granted via theissuing of keys to the pedestrian gate andHarris says this seemed to work well.

He adds the result of the open gate is anincrease in crime, such as attempted mug-gings, as well as noise nuisance caused by“drunken people’’ who can easily access thesuburb. He says people mention incidents of

“opportunistic trespassing’’ to him, but addsthey don’t report these to the police, whichhe adds is a mistake.

And, he says, the increase in cars speedingup the road is “an accident waiting to hap-pen’’.

Sunnyacres owner Andre van Heerdensays when he bought the property in 1995 theCity of Cape Town “forced me to impose aservitude over the property and to build theroad, for no reason at my expense”.

He adds mobile homes had to be moved toaccommodate the road and several familieswere inconvenienced. “The road, which ledto nowhere, was maintained and fenced atmy expense.”

He says after a woman was mugged in Ju-niper Street he installed the gate at his ownexpense and kept it closed, at the request ofFaerie Knowe residents. He goes on to saywhen he received commercial zoning for thecentre, the council advised him he needed

to buy the road. “I advised them it was notpossible for me to buy the road from myselfas there could be no transfer. Council thensaid I needed to ‘compensate’ them for it.”

He says he took his case to the City om-budsman and is still awaiting a ruling.

Councillor Felicity Purchase responds: “Iam trying to get clarity on whether this isa fact and, if so, which department wouldhave done it.”

She adds the Department of Transport,Roads and Stormwater at Plumstead is “una-ware” of the matter.

Purchase notes she needs confirmationthat it was not done by the engineers dealingwith the Kommetjie Road congestion.

“Until I have that clarity I cannot give adefinitive answer,” she says. “The localplanners are not aware of the condition, butit is a big city and I cannot make a unilateraldecision to have it closed if there is a chancethat other officials asked for it to be opened.

And, if so, why?”Van Heerden says: “Since I have opened

the gate I have been complimented by manyFaerie Knowe residents and told how con-venient it is for them to have direct accessrather than having to brave the KommetjieMain Road traffic.”

He says the gate has never been left open,adding it is closed at night and opened earlymorning.

He says he empathises with residents’ con-cerns about security as his responsibility in-cludes the safety of Sunnyacres customers.Together with the business community andresidents of Lekkerwater Road, he says theyhave been campaigning for years for a solu-tion to improve the “dangerous” Lekkerwa-ter intersection.

Harris does not believe diverting the traf-fic through Faerie Knowe is a solution to re-lieving traffic congestion on KommetjieRoad.

PRICE HIKE: COMMUTERS SEEK OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORT

Fuelled to take taxisTAMMY PETERSEN

More feet aremaking theirway towardpublic transport interchanges as fuelprices hit an all-time high last week.

And if the rand’s value continues to plum-met, more petrol price hikes could be in thepipeline.Lift clubs, cycling and even old-fashioned

walking are some of the alternativesmotor-ists are now forced to consider to keep theirbudgets balanced.Taxi driver Arnold Dreyer says the clus-

ters of peoplewaiting at pick-up points havegrown in the last week. An increase in pas-sengers is fantastic, he says, as drivers willnow have to drive extra trips to make theirdaily targets.“Most of the stops on my route have dou-

bled in the number of passengers. It reallyis a blessing because the petrol price in-crease is really eating at our pockets,” hesays.“No driver will ever say no thanks to ex-

tra bums on the seats.”To which one grumpy, particularly

squashed commuter responded: “Ja, butone seat is made for one bum!”Taxi fares only increase once a year and

taxi bosses say there has been no word ona price hike – yet.Douglas Mdoda says he has started work-

ing an hour extra to “squeeze in” an extratrip.“I have three kids and awife whom I need

to support. If I don’t make my target, myboss doesn’t payme in full and I don’t makeany extras. We work on a system similar toa commission structure. And if you don’tbring in the money, you don’t get fullypaid.”Switching from his own car to public

transport was an easy decision to make,Ralph Ockers says.He previously travelled about 40kms a

day between home and work, and says therecent petrol price increase would havewreaked havoc on his budget.“I could manage if the price per litre rose

by 10c, but to jump by almost R1 is ridicu-lous. Driving yourself to work is becominga luxury,” he says.Train services apparently haven’t seen a

drastic increase in commuters heading tostations.However, some periods have seen more

bodies make their way through the turn-stiles, says one ticket barrier.“Usually, things slow down between 07:30

and 09:00, as most people would already beclose to or at work. But this period has nowalso become more busy,” he explains.More “professional-looking” people are

also using the train, he adds.“It appears that more suit and high-heel

wearing commuters are standing on theplatforms. It is, after all, the cheapest trans-port service.”Lizelle Marais works as a personal assist-

ant in the city centre.

For five years she has been part of a liftclub, but can no longer afford this “luxury”.“It was either give up the wheels or give

up the necessities,” she says.“And while travelling by train is most of

the time quite unreliable and in no wayglamorous, it is easy on the pay cheque.”Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committee

member for Transport, urges motorists toconsider using public transport whereverpossible, or towalk or cycle to take the stingout of the fuel price hike.“The cost of travelling on public trans-

port is a fraction of the cost of running a pri-vate vehicle. Another consideration is thatpublic transport costs increase only once ayear – not whenever there is a rise in theprice of fuel,” Herron says.The capacity of the current road and

transport infrastructure is under increas-ing pressure, resulting in longer peak peri-ods, worsening congestion and wasting val-uable time in traffic, Herron explains.“Public transport really is the way of the

future – it is much cheaper, less stressful,and more environmentally-friendly thantravelling by car. It is a crucial factor inbuilding a sustainable Cape Town and help-ing to increase the liveability of the city.”

ONE STOP: Taxis are one of the three modes of public transport cash-strapped motorists may consider.

MOUNTAIN VIEW: LOCAL SKILLS USED

Project ‘for all’ in Ocean ViewTERESA FISCHER

Aplace on the City of Cape Town’s Hous-ing waiting list is not a guarantee ofgetting a house in the Mountain View

Housing Project.It is essential to apply at the Ocean View

Rent Office, which is situated next to thelibrary. This is the message Oliver Castro,chairperson of the Ocean View Civic Asso-ciation (OVCA), wants to emphasise.

This follows a recent meeting about theMountain View Housing Project (“Housingproject on track”, People’s Post, 2 July).

The project involves the building of 543subsidised houses on erf 683, a long-awaitedsolution to a housing crisis, which has beendragging for over 25 years.

Councillor Tandeka Gqada, MayoralCommittee member for Human Settle-ments, says 457 beneficiaries have been ap-proved in a project that can accommodate543 housing opportunities

Castro says: “We were shocked to comeacross people who thought they would becontacted by the City regarding houses.There seems to be a misconception that theMountain View Housing Project is exclu-sively for the people of Mountain View.That is not so – it is for all people in OceanView on the waiting list.’’

He appeals to Ocean View residents onthe housing waiting list not to miss the op-portunity of an allocation in the project.

To be eligible, a family must have a jointincome of R3500 or less a month, and notpreviously have owned a house or land.

Patrick Joseph, chairperson of the OceanView Builder’s Forum (OVBF), says: “Wedon’t want a single person to miss out ona housing opportunity.’’

Together the OVCA and OVBF initiatedand successfully negotiated that the hous-ing project be a People’s Housing Project(PHP).

Joseph says: “We insisted that the housesbe built by the people of Ocean View whichwould create employment. Secondly wewould have a first-hand knowledge of thequality.

“We can have houses, but if there are noeconomic activities it becomes a slum. Eco-nomic development can only happen

through job creation, which will allow peo-ple to regain their self-respect and reducesubstance abuse and crime.’’

To this end the OVBF last year compiledan extensive list detailing all skilled arti-sans such as electricians, carpenters andplumbers, in Ocean View.

“We did all the legwork, but our list wasamalgamated into an Expanded PublicWorks Project (EPWP) database.’’

Workers are drawn from this database towork on the project on a rotational basis.

As a result, they say, stonemasons for ex-ample, have been brought into Ocean Viewfrom elsewhere, despite the availability ofstonemasons within their community.

Councillor Felicity Purchase says: “TheBuilder’s Forum was an initiative from res-idents in Ocean View in order to place thelocal artisans in touch with jobs. This is avery commendable initiative. In fact, theyshould now be encouraging people in needof these skills to draw from their list.”

But she says the building of these housesis a “different thing all together” as interms of the National Housing Policy, thereare limited ways in which developmentscan be done. She adds a PHP involves a de-veloper being awarded a tender and addsthere are a limited number of developmentcompanies the City may use.

Purchase says the programme requiresthat the beneficiaries participate in theprocess of building.

“The stonemason I presume he is refer-ring to specialises in the particular type offinish we envisaged for these houses as canbe seen in the show houses.”

She adds a large number of EPWP work-ers will be used and there is no reason whysome of their members won’t get an oppor-tunity to work.

“The jobs will be given to the people ofOcean View who are on the City’s databaseof unemployed.”

The City uses a random selection processso as to avoid preferential treatment.

“The problem is that these are low-paidjobs due to the method of development.Councillor Pat Franke has sat in of the jobinterview process and many on their listdon’t want to work for such low wages,”says Purchase.

She says the process was made known tothe Ocean View Civic Association andBuilder’s Forum at the initial stages lastyear.

She adds: “I empathise with their needfor work, but this project is designed to ena-ble the beneficiaries to contribute to con-struction of their homes and to be builtwithin the national housing subsidy.

“We are very fortunate to have had someinnovative thinking on this project and tohave been able to use the natural stone inthe design rather than have the standardReconstruction and Development Pro-gramme type home.”V For further information phone Bronwayne Davidsat the Ocean View Rent office on (021) 783 1795 oremail ollycastro@gmail.com.

SHOW HOUSE: This show house, curently under construction as part of the Mountain ViewHousing Project in Ocean View, consists of two semi-detached houses, each on a 100m² erf.Other houses planned will share two adjoining walls, also each on a 100m² erf.

Marina da Gama woman still behind barsA woman arrested for allegedly assault-ing her boyfriend resulting in his deathis still in Pollsmoor, awaiting her nextcourt appearance.

It was reported the woman used a setof his crutches to assault Lionel de Robil-lard, who was spotted crawling nakeddown a pavement on Shearwater Drive,

in an attempt to escape.The deceased, De Robillard (50) from

Marina da Gama died in hospital as a re-sult of his injuries on Tuesday 4 June.

A 54-year-old woman appeared in Mui-zenberg Magistrate’s Court on Friday 7June on a charge of murder.

A relative of the deceased fears she is

a flight risk.Muizenberg police spokesperson Cap-

tain Stephen Knapp says the woman hasappeared in court on two occasions buthas not yet pleaded.

Her next appearance will be in the Mui-zenberg Magistrate’s Court on Wednes-day 24 July.

SPEEDY SOLUTION: Coun-cillor Felicity Purchase saysthe City of Cape Town hasconstructed a drop-and-goat Fish Hoek High School onNelson Road. It is made offive demarcated bays.Funds from the ward allo-cation were used to coverthe cost R60 000. Purchaseadds this was necessary be-cause of the “chaos anddanger when parents droptheir children and theyblock the traffic by stop-ping in the middle of theroad”. She adds: “The local(Roads and Stormwater)depot did the work and theschool is very grateful asthey have been asking forthis for years. Unfortunate-ly the quality of driving isnot what it used to be andthe drivers are not only im-patient but also inconsider-ate. We really hope thissolves the problem.” PHOTO:SUPPLIED

AYLA’S WINGS: SUSTAINANCE AND CARE FOR HOMELESS

Soft hearts, willing handsTERESA FISCHER

At night the homeless huddle togetherfor warmth and safety under bridgesand in subwayswherenobodyelse ven-

tures.So when they are woken up with a hot

bowl of homemade soup, the impact is huge.“Nobody speaks to them, nobody gives

them the time of day,’’ says Nuraan Hessel-berth (27) from Diep River.

Together with a small group of volunteers,Hesselberthdelivershot soupandsandwich-es as well as clothes to vagrants in Wynberg,Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, Athlone and any-where inbetween.

She says one group of three men got sucha fright when she woke them, they dived un-

der their blankets.It all startedwhenshe sawa friend’s status

on Facebook – a photograph of police cover-ing thebodies of three childrenwhohaddiedof the cold in Cape Town. She felt compelledto do something to help.

Using social media she appealed for dona-tions, which were soon flooding into hermodest townhouse.

People shedidn’t knowarrived tohelp sortthe donations of clothes for easy distribu-tion. One couple offered the use of their bak-kie and their gas stove, and another offeredthe use of their truck.

They have done three such missions al-ready, driving on until everything has beengiven out. The stove allows them to serve thefood hot.

Relating the story of a woman who askedfor a pair of shoes for her son, Hesselberthsays: “There are just certain thingsyoucan’tforget.’’

She returned later with her little boyshowing off his new shoes, as if to prove shehad not been lying about having a child.

Herself a mother of two young children,Hesselberth says when she tucks her ownchildren in at night she realises how muchshe has in comparison.

“That moment with the little boy was real-ly hard for me, especially having lost a babyin February this year,” she says, choking onher words as tears pool in her eyes. “Thechildren knock me a bit hard.’’

The charityAyla’sWingshasbeen createdin honour of her stillborn child.

She describes the poverty they witness as“unbelievably heartbreaking’’.

Hesselberth says those who cannot affordto stay in a homeless shelter sleep up againstits wall.

“One guy drank his soup, but kept half forhis dog.’ They have nothing, but they havemanners,’’ she says, adding men will oftencarry food to the women and children.

“Some of them drink, sniff glue and smokethings,whateverputs theminanotherplace.You can’t blame them, I wouldn’t want to besober in that situation either.’’

She says a word and a touch is appreciatedas much as the material goods.

“They want to hold my hands or put anarm across my shoulders.’’

Amansheknowsonly asWilliam is “prob-

ably one of the most grateful people I haveever come across in my life’’. Too shy to evenstep forward for some food, she says she hadto joke that the soup wasn’t going to cometo him.

“Wynberg police have been fantastic.They even went to fetch people and broughtthem to us in the back of their van so wecould give them food.’’V Hesselberth prefers donations of clothes or food tocash.

“It was as if a plug had beenpulled out a bathtub.”So says chairperson of the

Kalk Bay/St James Residents’ andRatepayers’ Association TonyTrimmel about the speed withwhich the water drained awayfrom the flooded Main Road in Ka-lk Bay on Tuesday 25 June.David Just says the photos of the

floodingwere “quite amazing”, butadds the City of Cape Town needsto give a “full explanation” as towhat happened and provide “someassurance” it would not happenagain.He adds: “The damage to the

shops must have been incredible.”However, following numerous

phone calls to shops along theMainRoad, none that could be reachedreported major losses.Owner of The One Shop, who

asked not to be named, says herstore suffered “quite a bit of dam-age” and was probably the mostbadly affected as thewater reached“thigh height”. But she seemed un-perturbed, adding “it will be a good oppor-tunity to give the stuff away” as she hadbeen meaning to close the shop anyway.Trimmel says sandbags were placed in

front of the building entrances between Ru-ral and Belmont roads.He adds the blockage was in one of the

main stormwater pipes, which had becomeblocked with seaweed and rocks. Trimmelsays traffic was diverted to avoid thewater,and only two cars appeared to be stuck by

the floodwaters.Shop owners say it is an annual occur-

rence and one adds they had been discuss-ing claiming compensation from the City ofCape Town.Councillor David d’ Alton, whowas away

VOLUNTEERS: HARD WORK FIGHTING FIRES

It gets hot on the frontlineNow that the ferocious south-easters

and scorching heat of summer havemorphed into Cape Town’s notorious-

ly cold and wet winter, the Volunteer Wild-fire Services (VWS) is focusing on recruit-ment and training.

The South Peninsula Station (SPS) intro-duces Allan Roy, who runs the station to-gether with training manager Kate Tindalland marketing manager Josephine Bestic.

They say: “All three are equally battle-hardened, having invested over 440 firelinehours between them, working on wildfiresin Table Mountain National Park and,when required, beyond into the mountainsof the Western Cape.”

For the next few months Tindall willguide new recruits and active members,

who will learn or refresh skills on vital wildfirefighting tasks such as operating L5s (afirefighting Landrover), water pump andfire hoses, getting to grips with GPS andtwo-way radios, and learning to operate ina tight-knit crew in extremely trying condi-tions.

Expect L5 to become a familiar sight asRoy and his crews train, patrol and fightfires in the neighbourhoods.

“And don’t be shy to come over for a chat.The ‘yellows’ are a very friendly bunch andjust dying to tell you more about what theydo and how you could be part of their team.”V Anyone interested in finding out more about howto join the South Peninsula Station, can visitwww.vws.org.za or email Allan at southpeninsu­la@vws.org.za.

Real estate firm expandsGerman real estate company Engel &Völkers is furthering its growth path inSA and plans to expand its presence in

the country from 40 to 140 locations, while al-so targeting Africa’s developing economies.Engel & Völkers Southern Africa head of re-

al estate Craig Hutchison says the Germanprocedures, systems and professionalism thatthe company offers was previously lacking inthe South African real estate industry, whichwill help the company with its expansionplans.“Engel & Völkers is a well-positioned brand

and is taking advantage of the upswing in theresidential market in South Africa. The com-pany is focusing on themainmetropolitan ar-eas, including Johannesburg, Cape Town andDurban,” he says.Hutchison notes that the first Engel & Völk-

ers branch outside Germanywas built in CapeTown’s southern suburbs.“That was in 2001. The roll-out in the rest

of South Africa took place in 2004, with twoseparate licence partners, one for theWesternCape and the other for the rest of South Afri-ca. Both these licences were secured in 2009,under one umbrella, amaster licence coveringthe Southern African Development Commu-nity (SADC),” he says.“Establishing offices in SouthAfrica hasnot

been a challenge because South Africans arewell travelled. They have seen the brand andthey recognise and welcome it,” he says.From a training perspective, Hutchison

points out that 250 local real estate agentshave gone through Engel & Völkers’ strict Ger-man training system.“An agent who has gone through Engel &

Völkers training is equipped to operate in localand international markets. The company isstrict when it comes to training; if an agenthas not attended training and passed all thetestswithin the first threemonths of appoint-ment, they are removed from the system.There are no second chances,” Hutchison ex-plains.Social ResponsibilityHe points out each Engel & Völkers branch

has its own corporate social responsibility

perspective that benefits specific organisa-tions.He adds the Engel & Völkers South Peninsu-

la branch recently started a competition intheir area called the Dream-house Competi-tion.“This initiative is aimed at encouraging

young children from all walks of life to devel-op their creativity. The Engel & Völkers Si-mon’s Town, FishHoek andKalkBaybranchesdropped off the necessary material at partici-pating schools and the pupils had to drawtheir dream home,” he says.“The winners received art hampers for

themselves and their schools.”All initiatives tohelp ordevelop childrenare

an important aspect of the company.V For more information contact Glenn, Inge or Dawnon (021) 782 0006.

Paddling their way to gloryLIAM MOSES

Paddlers from Peninsula Canoe Clubwill make up a large contingent of theSouth African team for the Canoe

Marathon World Championships for thesecond year running.

Last year 17 paddlers from the club wereselected to the SA squad. This year 11 clubmembers will jet off to Copenhagen, Den-mark for the Championships in Septem-ber.

Peninsula also has a strong contingentat the inauguralWorld Surf SkiChampion-ships, which commences in Portugal onFriday (12 July). Five of the six WesternCape Canoe Union athletes are from theZandvlei based club.

Coach Peter Cole says the secret to theclub’s continued dominance in paddlingdisciplines come from a fun training re-gime and dedicated, talented athletes.

“If youcanmake it funandnotmundane,it creates a good vibe. The guys are verydedicated, whichmakes it easier,” he says.

“They’re also very talented, so whateversport they practised they would be verygood at it.”

Cole also credited Fish Hoek Surf Life-saving Club for their in part in the success.Many Peninsula members are also mem-bers of and had their first taste of watersports at the club.

Four of the Peninsula paddlers who willcompete in the Marathon Championshipsthis year were also part of the 2012 squad.

Shaun Rubenstein won gold in the K1and silver in the K2 at the 2006 WorldChampionships inFrance and competed inthe 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

One of the less experienced members ofthe team isSt James residentNicholasNot-ten (17), whose older brother Dominic par-ticipated in last year’s tournament.

The Wynberg Boys’ High School pupilsays his best chance of a medal could bein the K2, with partner Kenneth Rice.

“I know that the level is going to be a lothigher. I’m not sure what to expect, be-cause I haven’t been there before. I haven’tthought of goals yet,” he says.

“From what our coach has told us thereis better a chance in the K2, because it’sharder to train for most people. We havebeen racing together all season.”

Cole has tipped the pair in the men’s un-der-18 K2, his wife Alexa Cole and Eloise

Horne in the womens’ open K2 and Rice’solder brother Sean and Rubenstein in themens’ K2 as medallist.

He says Kirsten Flanagan, who wonbronze in the women’s under-18 K2 lastyear, could also be in with a shout in theK1 if she can negotiate the “steep learningcurve”.
