A ONCE proud landmark of SaltRiver, the Locomotive Hotel, hasbeen left a charred reminder of alover’s quarrel, with residentsmourning the loss of an historicalattraction.Police are still searching for the

suspect behind the blaze thatripped through theLocomotiveHo-tel on Monday 3 June.A man is believed to have set a

room alight during an argumentwith a woman, a tenant at the ho-tel.The police believes Cameron

Dimitri Dias, a 21-year-old Ken-sington resident, could assist themin their investigation.The inferno started around 23:00,

with members of the Woodstockpolice called out to the hotel at thecorner of Albert Road and DurhamAvenue.Provincial police spokesperson

Captain FC van Wyk says it is al-leged that after a “heatedargumentbetween a couple, staying on thesecond floor at the Locomotive Ho-tel, the boyfriend went to the roomand set it alight”.The inferno caused damage to

seven rooms, and left 30 people andfive children homeless.Mina Jason lived in the room ad-

jacent to the one in which the firestarted. She lost everything.“I woke up to men knocking on

my door yelling that I must comeout. As I came out, I saw a blackcloud of smoke billowing out fromunder my neighbour’s door. I wasshaking,” Jason says.“I didn’t even take anythingwith

me. I left my cellphone, my shoesand even my teeth in the room.They’re all still in there, burnt.You can still see my clothes in mycupboard, all of them burnt.”No one was injured in the fire.

Salt River resident Okkie Slin-gers says injuries were avoideddue to the neighbours’ quick think-ing. “I woke up during the fire. Itwas hectic. I just saw flames. Theneighbours ran in to make sure wegot all the people out. There wereeven children inside,” he says.“You can see in which room the

fire started. The glass on that win-dow is out.We heard the guy threw

a petrol bomb in throughthe window.”The suspect fled the

scene on foot, Van Wyksays. “There are no newleads regarding the inci-

dent. No suspects have been arrest-ed yet and the investigation contin-ues.”In the meantime, residents are

mourning the loss of the historicallandmark.Warda Rahim, the chairperson

of the Salt River Ratepayers’ Asso-ciation, says the LocomotiveHotel,along with the many other build-ings, has historical value.Those in Albert and the Salt Riv-

er Main roads were all built in thelate 1800s and very early 1900s.“The Salt River community is

saddened about the fire at theLoco-motive Hotel – we very proudly re-

fer to it as a landmark in Salt Riv-er,” she laments.“We would like to see the build-

ing restored as soon as possibleand for business to continue. I canhonestly vouch on behalf of thecommunity thatwehaveneverhadan issue with the establishment –the complete opposite of all otherliquor outlets in the area.“There is not a soul in the Salt

River community that would ob-ject to this establishment being re-opened and restored to its formerglory.”The building, over 200 years old,

is a heritage site, says Annelize

Jones, the hotel owner’s daughter.The family hopes to rebuild the

hotel and keep it in the family.“We will be looking at restoring

it. It’s been in the family for 25years, so the fire was heartbreak-ing for us. We rushed throughwhen they told us there was a fire,but there was nothing we could doexcept stand and watch.”Roelof Brink, a business owner

operating from opposite the hotel,says he looks forward to seeing thelandmark restored.“The fire was a tragedy, but I

hope the owners can restore thebuilding to its full glory.”

CAPE TOWN might see a series of streetsopenedupas car-free zones after the successof the open street event in LowerMainRoadlast month.The Observatory festivities saw between

3000 and 5000 people in one afternoon, saysMarcela Guerrero Casas of Open StreetsCape Town.“There was a sense of safety, community

building and ownership of Observatory andSalt River.We receivedmany personalmes-sages of people saying they had not been so‘happy’ in their own neighbourhood inyears,” Guerrero Casas says.But that isn’t the only benefit of having

an open streets event.“Overall, the responsewas extremely pos-

itive. Some businesses reported an increaseof up to 50% in profit. They want to haveit on a regular basis,” Guerrero Casas says.MaraBjeri,whoworks atHello SailorBis-

tro, says she was worked off her feet withthe increase in business.“We definitely had an increase in custom-

ers. It was really busy. It would be awesometo have the open street more regularly. Itbrought the whole community together,”Bjeri says.GavinHagger,whoownsObzCafe inLow-

er Main Road, is excited about the prospectof more open street events.“Any business that didn’t do well was not

on themain road,” Hagger says. “Every oneI know did exceptionally well, and the busi-nesses in the area could benefit from threeor four of these events a year.”In addition, there are greater benefits the

community can experience, Guerrero Ca-sas says.“Wewant to build on the sense of commu-

nity, and include opportunities to exercise,play and interact safely and freely, linkingObservatorywithSalt River andother partsof the city as the open streets network con-tinues to grow.“Over time, residents can start thinking

about making more permanent changes toLower Main Road.”One Observatory resident who looks for-

ward to future events is James Cowley.“Cycling down the road with my two

grandchildren hitched onto a pram-mobiletrailer was great fun and seeing all the hap-penings along theway, greetings and smileswas great,” Cowley says.Hagger agrees, saying: “Kids were play-

ing in the streets and the community wasable to bond. Everyone had a great time.”However, the event will not be limited to

Observatory.“It is a city-wide initiative so it will take

place in different parts of Cape Town. Giventhe success on Lower Main Road, it is verylikely to happen there again in the future.The idea is that Open Streets becomes a reg-ular ‘institution’ in many streets acrossCape Town,” Guerrero Casas says.She adds that activities will vary depend-

ing on the location of event, andwill be driv-en by the communities around the streets.The open street event on Lower Main

Road saw street performers, skaters, cy-clists and pedestrians enjoying events suchas Zumba and yoga lessons, giant chess andscrabble as well as a family corner.

CORNWALL Street residents are causing abig stink.They are fed up with the stench emanat-

ing from the illegal dumping at a proposedconstruction site for a nine-storey develop-ment.The site stretches fromCornwall to Victo-

ria roads, and from Baron to Gympiestreets.Residents are demanding answers and ef-

fective solutions from the owners, SwishProperties.Locals are already aggravated that the

plans approved by the City of Cape Townspeak of nine storeys instead of the fiveagreed upon.Cornwall Street resident Waheed Hartley

says the dumping started about threeweeksago.He says that locals entered the premises

through holes in the site’s wall, but despiterepairs to the damage, the dumping per-sists.“People are just throwing their rubbish

over thewall. It’s causing a terrible stench,”Hartley says.Neighbour Fadil Jackson is equally infu-

riated. “We have flies and the smell is verybad.We’ve also had a lot of fieldmice. Thereare people dumping every day,” he seethes.Shamiel Abbass, the chairperson of the

Woodstock Community Outreach Forum,says he has not heard any of the illegaldumping complaints, but he is as worried.“You have to secure the site. It can be-

come a health risk and attract rodents,” hesays.Ward councillor Bernadette le Roux has

had no reports of illegal dumping, she says.She adds that as the site is private property,the City’s hands are tied when it comes toprosecuting the culprits.Luigi Tollon, the property manager at

Swish Properties who owns the site, saysthe company has secured their propertywith a wall and on-site security.“We’ve never had any issues with dump-

ing,” Tollon adds.

However, he assures residents that theon-site security will be informed and to actagainst illegal dumping.Last year, the plans for the proposed de-

velopment sparked residents’ outrage afterthey were approved by the City of CapeTown. They objected to the height of thebuilding. Abbass says residents agreed toonly five storeys, as anything higher willobstruct their view of the mountain.The area is 6 822ha in size. The applica-

tion proposes to develop the property intonine storeys consisting of a retail compo-nent and a block of flats. The flats will con-sist of 363 units, together with 493 parkingbays which will also be used by the retailcomponent.Abbass says he has plans to start a peti-

tion, but has been waiting over a month fora response from Le Roux as to how the ap-proval was given when residents have somany concerns.Le Roux says her response has been de-

layed by a lack of availability on Abbass’part, and a technical problem with heremails.However, shemaintains the building will

be an asset to the area, and says she is notaware of any documentation submitted pri-or to the council’s decisionwhich highlight-ed concerns from those living in the area.She says objections such as parking is-

sues and the number of units being pro-posedwere all addressed by council, and theplans have been passed.

Abig birthdaythank youDespite the soggy weather

on Sunday, 2 June 2013,thousands of people made

use of the MyCiTi ‘free ride day’.The ‘free ride day’ was held tomark the second anniversary ofthe launch of the MyCiTi servicebetween Civic Centre and TableView stations.“It is very encouraging to note

that a total of 13 708 passengertrips were made on the day,” saidCouncillor Brett Herron, MayoralCommittee Member: Transport

for Cape Town.“The intention is to offer as

many Capetonians as possiblea chance to experience the highlevels of comfort and serviceon the MyCiTi system. As moreroutes roll out across the city, thisannual event promises to becomea real highlight for MyCiTi.”The most popular trips were the

main route between Civic Centreand Table View, followed by theAirport route, which includes thetrip to the V&AWaterfront.

MyCiTimascotMarvin was on hand towelcome passengers to the Civic Centre station to enjoy a free ride on the bus.

Among those enjoying a free ridewere students Simthumile Vharevaitga andMudayHumbulani from theCapePeninsulaUniversity of Technology,who

live inObservatory. “I use this high quality service each day,” said Simthumile.MudaywishedMyCiTi a happy birthday. “MyCiTi is an excellent service,” he said.

MyCiTi’s annual fare increasecomes into effect from 1 July

2013, in line with the City of CapeTown’s budget. Please ensure thatyou have enough money on yourcard to cover the new fares andavoid incurring penalties.“The City has sought to keep

the fare increases as low aspossible and we are confidentthat the increases are reasonable.The MyCiTi service remains aneconomical way to commute,” saidCouncillor Brett Herron.The fare for a trip on an area

servicewill rise fromR5.30 toR5.80,and still includes free transfers toother area routes at Civic Centre andTable View stations. BetweenCivicCentre and Table View stations, the

farewill increase fromR10.60 toR11.50, but still includes a free tripon an area route at either or bothends of the journey.The service from theAirport to

Civic Centrewill go up fromR57toR62 for adults, and fromR28.10toR30.30 for children aged four toeleven years old. Amonthly ticketfor the airport servicewill rise fromR449.50 toR484.60.The cost of amyconnect cardwill

increase fromR23 toR25.As before, children under the age

of four, and less than onemetre inheight, travel free onMyCiTi.Penalty fares have also increased

fromR16 toR24on all routes, exceptalong theCivic Centre –Airport routewhere the penaltywill nowbeR76.

MyCiTi fares increasefrom 1 July 2013

To access the station during construction, commuters will need to use the stairs outsideArtscape Theatre or the Civic Centre, and then the stairs down to the MyCiTi station.

Construction on thewest side oftheCivic Centre station is about

to begin,which aims to providebetter shelter to people buyingmyconnect cards and loadingmoneyat the kiosks.During this time, passengers

WHILE almost 1500 neighbourhood watchmembers from across the province havebeen trained in the last year, Upper Wood-stock residents will have to wait just a littlebit longer before they can be counted.After almost a year of waiting, the neigh-

bourhood watch working in University Es-tate, Walmer Estate and Upper Woodstock,U-Watch, was recently registered and re-ceived a date for training from the Depart-ment of Community Safety, scheduled forthis past Saturday and Sunday.However, the training has now been post-

poned by the U-Watch executive committeedue to a lack of numbers.“The U-Watch executive committee was

not able to secure the required number ofparticipants for the training due to a varie-ty of reasons,” says U-Watch spokesperson,Andrew Geel.He says the training comes after a long

registration process.“We waited for almost a year to be regis-

tered with the relevant authorities,” Geelsays.He says this is because registering with

the Community Policing Forum, police andDepartment of Community Safety has beena year long process.Greg Wagner, spokesperson for the pro-

vincial Minister of Community Safety, DanPlato, says there was previously no frame-

work for neighbourhood watches to regis-ter. This lack of framework caused delayswith registration and training.However, this all changed with a recent

law, the Western Cape Community SafetyAct 3 of 2013.“We were not able to determine the exact

number of neighbourhoodwatch structureswhich exist and we don’t know about alltheir operating standards or levels of activi-ties. To remedy this situation a legal frame-work for this was included in the WesternCape Community Safety Act 3 of 2013 whichallows for the accreditation, training, re-sourcing and support to neighbourhoodwatches by the Department,” Wagner says.Despite this, he says a total of 1490 volun-

teers were trained during 2012 and 2013.“Resources were distributed to 149 neigh-

bourhood watch structures and they wereassessed for functionality,” Wagner says.But U-Watch maintains the delay will

have no negative impact.“It is not a setback and will have no im-

pact on the day-to-day running of the neigh-bourhood watch. Those members that areinterested in patrolling will be providedtraining at other training sessions locatedin the area,” Geel says.Wagner says another date can be provid-

ed within six weeks, and although the de-partment issues thedates, the training is de-cided in conjunction with the neighbour-hood watch.

Sergil overcomesall obstaclesLIAM MOSES

A SOUTHERN suburbs cricketer has been rewarded for hishard work and dedication to the game, claiming a covetedaward.

Sergil January won the Blind Cricketer of the Year award atthe annual Western Province Cricket Association awards dinneron last month.TheCafdaVillage resident sayswinning the award is his second

greatest achievement, after representing the South Africa at theinaugural blind cricket T20 World Cup in Bangalore, India lastyear.“It’s a phenomenal feeling to win the each time,” he says.“Winning the WP Blind Cricketer of the Year award is already

phenomenal, but making the South African team and represent-ing my country was the most awesome thing I could ever do.”January tookup the game in 2010, after initial reluctance to take

up any sports. He and has since progressed at a surprising rate.He was selected for the WP team in his first season and was

called up to the national squad in 2012, after only two years.Armand Bam, SA team coach and World Blind Cricket Council

technical director and director of African development for blindcricket, says January has shown “incredible”.“Sergil’s climb up the cricketing ladder has been quite prolific.

He applied himself well after not really wanting to play sport,”says Bam.“In the space of three years he has gone from being a club crick-

eter to a national player. He is one of the best players in SA andhe has the ability to bat and field well. His batting and fieldingare on par with other international players.”January lost his sight after a gunshot to his head in 2006, but

he has not let this stophim from achievingbothonandoff the field.The League of

Friends of the Blind(Lofob) club player iscompleting his matric.He says the game ofcricket has given him afreedom he did not ex-perience since becom-ing blind.“I love that I am free

and I can run when Iwant to, I can hit whenI want to and throwwhen I want to,” saysJanuary.“It’s the fact that I am

free to do what I wantand not be afraid of ob-stacles.“It’s something that I

have never really doneas a blind person.”V For more information onblind cricket contact the Lo-fob on (021) 705 2154.

Shiny silverwarefor GlendeneLIAM MOSES

GLENDENE UNITED willlaunch straight into prepa-rations for the SAFASecond

Division promotion play-offs af-ter winning the league on Fridaynight.United beat Ida’s Valley 5-2 to

top the Second Division log afterAll Stars, who had lead the stand-ings, were docked nine points forfielding an unregistered player inthree games this season.Although Starsmay still appeal

the decision before the seven-daywindow closes on tomorrow(Wednesday 12 June), GlendenecoachDuranFrancis sayshis sidedonothave time for abreakaheadof their trip to Johannesburg.“The period before the play-offs

start is so short, that we will startpreparing for Johannesburg assoon as possible. The boys need toget used to the conditions up

there,” he says.“It has been a very long season.

It started almost a year ago, butthis is a part of the business andwe just have to try and prepare asbest as possible and have a suc-cessful play-offs.”No date has been set for the

play-offs as yet, but it is believedit will take place over the penulti-mate or last weekend this month.Glendene will face off against

their counterparts from the eightother provinces in South Africa,in hopes of claiming one of thetwo National First Division(NFD) spots available.While Francis knows the play-

offs will be a challenge for hisyoung, inexperienced side, he hasfaith that Glendene’s players un-derstand the value of promotionand will fight hard to achieve it.“The boys showed a lot of char-

acter. It’s all about the willpowerand mentality. In the past every

CapeTown team that has finishedon top in the league has alwaysdone well in the play-offs,” hesays.“It’s about mental strength be-

fore and during the play-offs.There are different conditions,different styles of play and differ-ent teams and if the players adaptthey should do well. It’s going tobe very difficult because there isa lot to play for.”Meanwhile, the other Second

Division sides based in the southwere not too far off the pace thisseason.Manenberg side Crystal Palace

finished in fourth, whileASDSaltRiver Blackpool finished in sev-enth and Lansdowne’s RC Ath-letico were eighth.Steenberg United finished in
