While children’s laughter mayecho down Chapel Street, there isa dark danger looming over the pu-pils of Chapel Street Primary.A derelict building on the corner

of Chapel Street and Balfour Roadhas been cited as a safety concernfor the children, almost all ofwhom walk past the building onthe way home, says principalJamiel Alexander.“We have a number of problem

buildings in the area, and from thecommunity and children’s per-spective, it’s not safe. Some of ourpupils have been robbed andchased and we don’t want to waitfor something serious to happen,”Alexander says.He is also concerned about the

derelict buildings behind theschool in Pontac and Nelsonstreets.Despite the crumbling walls, the

Chapel Street building has been apractise ground for many aspiringgraffiti artists. The palisade fenc-ing over the stoep has also been re-moved in places.Alexander says the property is a

haven for criminals and vagrants.“The building has been broken

into or vandalised several timesover the last few years. There havealso been vagrants sleeping at thesite. It’s a safety concern.”A Chapel Street resident, who

asked not to be named, says shewould like to see the eyesorecleaned up.“It needs to be repaired. It’s been

like that for almost 30 years,” she

says. “It’s not that I feel unsafe – thebuilding is closed up and I’ve neverseen anyone there. But you neverknow who could be in there andanything could happen.Maybe oneof the children walks past andsomeone grabs them from the in-side of that building,” she addswith a shudder.Another Woodstock resident,

who also did not want to be named,walks past the building on his wayto work.“It makes the area look bad. Oth-

er houses here are looked after, butthis one has graffiti all over thewalls and is falling apart. Childrensometimes like to explore emptybuildings. What if they play thereand the wall or roof falls in onthem? It’s not safe.”Richard Bosman, the City of

Cape Town’s executive director ofsafety and security, says council’sProblem Buildings Unit served aComplianceNotice to the owner on24 August last year. “The Unit will

reinvestigate the complaint andtake the necessary action.”People’s Postwas unable to reach

the property owner at our time ofgoing to print.

Safety risks in Chapel Street

A model wows the crowd at theHelen Suzman Bridge during theDavid Tlale Show, held on Sundayas part of the Cape Town FashionWeek. The city’s top designers un­veiled their 2013 spring and sum­mer collections in a three­day fash­ion spectacular. The finale, forwhich the venue was kept a secretuntil the last minute, boasted aspectacular show of style, poiseand charm as models reclaimed theunfinished highway to strut Tlale’sawe­inspiring ensembles. Specta­tors were hard­pressed to keeptheir eyes on the models, as pano­ramic views of Table Mountain andthe harbour spread around them.As if his designs were not glamour­ous enough, Tlale gave the showjust an extra bit of bling by glidingonto the make­shift runway in atopless Mercedes­Benz with hisshow­stopping model at his side.

When faced with an emergency, the first thingyou need is help. But when that help is aphonecall away and no one is answering, youcould feel like you’re left hanging.

A businessman says he’s called the10111 emergencynumber onnumerous oc-casions and had terrible experiences.

“I witnessed a robbery where peoplewere stabbing each other,” says the man,who does not want to be named.

“It was a heated situation and peoplewere getting hurt. I called the emergencynumber and there was no answer. I wasfrustrated and afraid, so I called again andreported the matter, but the police neverpitched.”

He says he no longer calls the police andinstead drives to a police station to reportcrime.

Language also became an issue.Aprevious timewhenhe tried reporting

an incident to 10111, “the call centre opera-tor asked me to refrain from speaking Af-rikaans because he couldn’t understandme”.

He believes some 10111 operators don’thave a good command of languages spo-ken by the people whom they’re serving.

An elderly woman, who does not wantto be named, says she calls 10111 at leastthree times a week to report crimes , butvery seldom gets a response from the po-lice.

“It’s very frustrating when police en-courage residents to report crimes andpromise to come to your assistance, butnever pitch when you call,” she says.

“I tried to report a case where a younggirl was being raped by her grandfather,but no one answered the phone at the po-lice station. I called (suspended chairper-son of the provincial Community Police

Forum)Hanif Loonat,whowent to the policestation to report the crime.

“The rapist is nowbehind bars becausewemanaged to go to the police to report thecrime. What happens in cases where peoplecan’t go to the police?”

The feisty woman says she sometimestakes the law into her own hands and per-sonally removes drug peddlers from herstreet.

Other residents walk to the police stationto report crimes because their calls are notanswered.

“The service is appalling. During Ram-adaan I called to report an incident and thecall centre agent put the phone down in myear because she could not understand Eng-lish. Another time my call was transferredto an answeringmachine saying they’re ‘notavailable at the moment’,” she recalls.

“I’m a pensioner and spendmoney buyingairtime to call and they don’t pitch.”

Heideveld Community NeighbourhoodWatch chairperson Mugidien Barnes saysthe service is at its worst over weekends.

“I’ve tried reporting shootings and domes-tic violence cases over weekends and no oneanswers the phone,” he says.

Loonat, who is suspended for criticisingthe Athlone Police Station, says he’s re-ceived countless complaints from peoplesaying they can’t get through at weekends.He says government should upgrade the sys-tem so callers can select a language prefer-ence.

Loonat says he’s relayed complaints todeputy provincial police commissionerGen-eral Sharon Japhta about the “inefficient

and ineffective emergency number”.He says some people who called the

number were reporting shootings and do-mestic violence.

“I’ve received 30 complaints in the lastthreemonths. I also tried calling thenumberand no one answered.”

It’s better for people to call 10111 becausethe system automatically logs the call andrecords the conversation, so then no one candeny facts of the conversation, he says.

Technological aspects need to improveand well-trained operators need to be em-ployed, Loonat adds.

“We should not be playing with people’slives.Money should be spent on this service,even though it’s costly, because our people’slives cannot be in danger.”

Provincial police spokesperson FC vanWyk says 10111 is a medium to receive com-plaints, which are “registered and dis-patched to the local police station or com-plaint vehicle responsible to attend to thecomplaint. It is the station commander’s re-sponsibility to attend to the complaint with-in their policing area”.

He says there are delays at busy times, likeweekends and month-end.

“All calls should be answered within twoseconds. About 63% of all calls are nuisanceand information calls.”

A first-time mother is demanding an-swers and is questioning the actions ofGroote Schuur Hospital staff after givingbirth to a stillborn baby girl.

A week before the expected date of deliv-ery, Nikita Kleinsmith (21) experiencedmild contractions on Thursday 27 June.

A heart condition makes her a high-riskpatient and she attended Groote SchuurHospital’s Maternity Obstetrics Unit.

After noticing a substance on her un-derwear, she phoned the hospital and wasadvised to go in immediately, she recalls.

“I was examined by the doctor on nightduty and was sent home at 09:00 the nextday even though I was still in pain,” shesays.

Later that day she experienced severecontractions.

“The following morning I started bleed-ing and experienced contractions whichwere five minutes apart.”

She was taken to hospital by ambu-lance.

“When we arrived at hospital I was ad-mitted to the maternity ward where I washooked up to machines which monitoredthe baby’s heart rate. A student nursecame into the room and I told her I neededthe toilet.

“Even though she checked the resultson the machine which confirmed the ba-by’s heart rate was dropping, she still re-moved the heart monitor band from mystomach and allowed me to go,” she says.

“I am a high-risk patient because I have

a heart condition, so shouldn’t more carehave gone into ensuring my baby’s safety?Don’t hospitals have bed pans for patientswith my condition?”

She says when she returned from thetoilet a doctor asked her if she took herselfoff the heart machine. “I informed thedoctor that a student nurse took me off themachine and allowed me to go to the toi-let.”

Kleinsmith claims the doctor left theroom and called another nurse who at-tached a urinal bag to her and took her fora scan.“The doctors then decided to do anemergency Caesarean section when theyrealised the baby’s heart rate was drop-ping. I was prepped for surgery and beforeI went into theatre they called my heartdoctor to do the operation, but he was notavailable at the time.”

She says they did another scan and toldher the baby had died.

“He added that if they performed the op-eration they would’ve put my life in dan-ger. Shouldn’t I have been given thatchoice to make?”

Kleinsmith says she experienced con-tractions and “had to give birth [to babyZoe] as if she was still alive”.

“My mother spoke to the doctor whotold her the umbilical chord came loosefrom the afterbirth and that the baby diedof a lack of oxygen. But when Zoe was bornshe was still attached to the umbilicalchord and the afterbirth.”

Kleinsmith says the hospital wanted todo an autopsy, but she refused and saidthey could “use the afterbirth instead, be-cause that is where they believed the prob-lem stemmed from”. “I was told if Zoe hadsurvived she would’ve been brain dead.”

Six weeks later Kleinsmith still has noanswers. “It’s been more than a monthsince her passing and I’ve still not been

informed about the cause of death.”She says she wants feedback as she is

unable to come to terms with the death ofher baby.

Mark van der Heever, the provincialhealth department’s deputy director ofcommunications, says the department isunaware of the patient’s experience.

“This is the first time the department ishearing about this case,” he says.

No formal complaint has been made toGroote Schuur Hospital, Van der Heevercontinues. “Once the department receivesthe complaint it is usually acknowledgedin five days and the patient is providedwith a response within 30 working days,after the complaint has been thoroughlyinvestigated.”

He says the patient will also be providedwith an interim response outlining theprogress of the complaint and date ofwhen a detailed response can be expected.

“All complaints received are regardedas serious and recorded in the complaintsregister which contains the complain-ant’s detail and origin and nature of com-plaint.”

He adds: “Groote Schuur Hospital is atraining hospital where certain tasks maybe allocated to students, who should beworking under the supervision or instruc-tion of more senior qualified staff. Some-times students are already qualified, butare working towards becoming a special-ist in a respective field.”

Van der Heever advises that patientsfollow the correct complaints procedureas it is “the only way in which we can pro-vide a solution or improve our service inthe case of unsatisfactory incidents”.V To lodge a complaint against provincial govern­ment health facilities, SMS the word “HELP” to31022, call 0860 142 142 or email service@western­cape.gov.za.

Accessing justice is on-ly an app away.

The Rape Crisis CapeTown Trust haslaunched its Rape Infor-mation Portal on Mxit.

It will form part ofMxit’s “MySafety” app,which currently has 164475 subscribers.

Research conductedby Rape Crisis showedthat a lack of informa-tion and a poor under-standing of how thecriminal system worksprevents rape survi-vors from accessing jus-tice.

This portal will vast-ly improve the accessi-bility of informationabout rape to women,particularly in poorerand rural communities.

The app, called Rape-Crisis, is currentlyavailable in English,Afrikaans and Xhosa.

It distils 30 years of experi-ence working with rape sur-vivors into a simple yet com-prehensive informationpackage.

It empowers women withthe information they need tonavigate the journey to-wards justice and recovery.This complex process hasmany steps including disclo-sure, reporting to police, a fo-rensic examination and med-ical treatment, police inves-tigation, court proceedingsand counselling.

Rape Crisis director Kath-leen Dey says the aim is to actas a bridge between the rapesurvivor and the criminaljustice system.

“Rape Crisis is committedto offering survivors infor-

mation that is clear, accurateand accessible. The value ofthe Mxit mobile social net-work is that it is an inexpen-sive, easily accessible toolwith enormous reach as itcan work on nearly anyphone. Women in poor andrural communities might nototherwise have had access tothis vital information.”

Andrew Rudge, the head ofMxit Reach, says the MySafe-ty app was created earlierthis year in response to theAnene Booysen tragedy.

“Including the informa-tion from Rape Crisis in-creases the value of this appimmeasurably as a tool to in-form and empower users.”

Motorists have been fuming at oth-ers who use the one-way NorfolkRoad incorrectly, ignoring the sig-nage on the street.

Now, in a move to avoid any acci-dents, the City of Cape Town is apply-ing a “if you can’t beat them, jointhem” attitude and considering aproposal to make the Observatorystreet a two-way road.

“The road signs are disregarded byresidents as well as motorists justpassing through the area or peoplelooking for parking,” says IvorManuel, the Observatory Improve-ment District security manager.“People often use the road as a two-way, and if you stop them, they justsay they didn’t see the signs.”

Manuel says the disregard for thetraffic regulations has left other driv-ers furious.

“ There have been a few minor in-cidents of other drivers stoppingtheir cars to get out and yell ‘Can’tyou see this is a one-way’,” he says.

Brett Herron, the Mayoral Com-mittee member of Transport, Roadsand Stormwater, says traffic jamsare not a problem, but there havebeen a few fender-benders in thestreet. “We are not aware that it hascaused congestion but have beenmade aware of the conflict that itcauses which can lead to crashes,” hesays.

Ian Kapp, who works at a pub inNorfolk Street, has seen many nearaccidents.

“People are constantly takingchances. There have been many nearaccidents, with pedestrians almostknocked over, because people driveup the road the wrong way. At leasttwo drivers do it every day.”

Kapp says many of the offendersare trying to access the two fast foodoutlets from Lower Main Road.

Herron says the proposal has toconsider how to integrate this trafficfrom the two restaurants.

“The challenge is that both the Mc-Donalds and KFC outlets are not con-veniently accessible from Lower

Main Road, from which a part oftheir clientele originates,” he says.This is why drivers attempt to accessthem via Norfolk Road.

Kapp says the only solution is tomake the road run in both directions.

“The road is wide enough. Peopleoften just move out of the way of carsdriving in the wrong direction. Theyshould just make it a two-waystreet,” he says.

Herron says he has not been ableto establish why the initial decisionwas taken to make Norfolk Road aone-way.

Journeys connecting with the Airport attract an additional charge of either R35.70 (with a MyCiTi Mover package)or R51.90 (without a MyCiTi Mover package).

MyCiTi’s distance-based fare systemmeansmorechoice for users, with lower fares for travelling outsideof busy hours and travel packages offering majordiscounts at all times.

MyCiTi’s newwebsite has justbeen launchedwith searchable

The new distance-basedfare system calculates thedistance travelled from

where you first tap in, when enteringaMyCiTi bus or station, to whereyou tap out at your final destinationand charges you a fare according tothe distance band for that journey.The distance bands are 0-5km,5-10km, 10-20km, 20-30km,30-60km andmore than 60km.This is good news for themajority

of passengers and especially thosetravelling shorter distances, suchas from the Civic Centre to PaardenEiland, because the cost of theirjourneywill be far cheaper thanwith the previous system.Savings are also available to

commuters who start their journeyoutside the Peak fare periods of06:30 to 08:30 in themornings and16:00 to 18:00 in the afternoons onweekdays. For journeys starting atall other times on weekdays, andall day on weekends and publicholidays, fares will be on average17% lower than Peak fares, whichwe call the Saver fare period.There will also be discounts

of 20% or more during the Peakand Saver periods for those whoload travel packages onto theirmyconnect cards, called Moverpackages. There are also no load

fees for Mover packages and theyonly expire after three years, soeven infrequent MyCiTi travellerscan benefit. Mover packagesare initially only available fromselected station kiosks and notat MyCiTi retailers that offer cardsales and top-up facilities.Journeys can include transfers

and stops along theway. Leave anystation or bus for up to 45minutesbefore tapping in again and onlypay a single-trip fare based on theaccumulated distance travelled.This benefit applies as long as thereis less than two hours between yourfirst and last tap in, and it isn’t areturn journey.Brett Herron, Mayoral Committee

Member: Transport for Cape Town,says, “the twomain principlesbehind the new system are thatthe fares should be comparable tothose charged by other bus servicesand theminibus-taxi industry, andtheymustminimise the cost deficitof the system.“It has been a challenge, but

we think the new system strikesthe balance between these twoprinciples. We have done thisby giving benefits to regularusers and to off-peak travel, toencourage the most efficient usepossible of the MyCiTi fleet.”

The South African Schools rug-by side hope to “improve andbuild” on their 19-14 victory

over England at City Park on Fri-day.The match formed part of the In-

ternational Under-18 Series whichalso features Italy, France andWales.Team coach Chris October be-

lieves his side will only get betterafter a shaky performance in thesetpieces.“The scrums are always a dicey

affair, especially with the newlaws. This is the first time the boysplayedand scrummed together.Wecan just build on this and im-prove,” he says.“In the first half we did well in

the line-outs, but (it seems) theypicked up our calls. A lot of workstill lies ahead. The foundation hasbeen laid for success in the rest ofthe series and we are looking for-ward to the next challenge. Interms of our defence, attack andkicking there are a few things wecan improve on.”England broke the deadlock ear-

ly in the match when skipper andeighth-man James Chisholmpicked up from the back of a scrumin the SA 22 and charged over.Sam Olver goaled the resulting

conversion, but SA right wingGrantHermanusnarrowed thedef-icit with a penalty soon after.SA captain and number eight

Rikus Bothma refused to be out-

done by his England counterpartand powered his way across thewhitewash to take the lead.Howev-er, Hermanus missed the conver-sion and SA lead 8-7 at half-time.Duhan van der Merwe extended

South Africa’s lead in the secondhalf, popping up in the centres togather a pass one-handed, scythethrough gap and dot down.Hermanus missed the conver-

sion again and it seemed it wouldprove costly after Chisholm andOlver retook the lead for Englandwith another try and conversionrespectively.Flyhalf Brandon Thomas took

over kicking duties, after Her-manus departed injured, and wenton to nail two penalties to hand SAthe victory.October praisedhis side for their

defensive performance, after soak-ing up the advice of defence guruJacques Nienaber in training ses-sions last week.“Right from the beginning we

knew there would be three aspectsthat was going to be very impor-tant ifwewere towin the game; ourdefence, attack and kicking,” Octo-ber says.“Defencemust be the foundation

on which we lay any success. To-day the guys went out there andshowed a lot of character.”SA take on France at Outeniqua

Park in George at 18:00 today(Tuesday 13 August) and then faceWales at Boland Stadium in Wel-lington on Saturday 17 August at15:30.

SPORTEngen Knockout to rock WynbergLIAM MOSES

The battle for under-17 football domi-nance will resume this weekend whenthe 10th annual Engen Knockout Chal-

lenge finals kick off.Regarded as a proving ground for Cape

Town’s most talented young footballers, theChallenge is hotly contested by 16 of theMother City’s best teams each year.The 10th edition will be no different, fea-

turing the under-17 sides from four differentprofessional teams, two of South Africa’sbest academies and some of the Cape’s mostwell-known amateur clubs. People’s Post isthe tournament’s print media sponsor.In Group A, Pinelands-based Old Mutual

Academy, Mitchell’s Plain’s Kenpark Unit-ed, Green Point Salesians and Island Roverswill compete for the top twoplaces anda spotin the next round.With excellent facilities, coaching to

match and a track record littered with thespoils of junior tournaments, Old Mutualare clear-cut favourites to qualify top of thegroup and face the second-placed finisherfrom Group B.The rest will have to fight it out for second

place and face the tougher route to the finalwith the winners of Group B waiting in thenext round.Both Kenpark and Island Rovers are capa-

ble of sneaking through.In Group B defending champions and five

time victors Ajax Cape Town are expectedto brush aside any challenge in the groupand finish with three wins and a healthygoal difference.Fellow professional outfit Vasco da Gama

should fill the second spot after a breezingthrough the last qualification round with a100% record and an average of three goalsper game.Cape United and Kuils River FC will most

likely continue onto the Plate section of thetournament.Group C is the toughest of the tournament

this year.While tournament hosts and former

champions Santos will be favourites to fin-ish first, the race for second place is lessclear cut.Grassy Park’s Crusaders are the form side

out of the three, after banging in 10 goals inthree wins during qualifying. But despiteless impressive track records, Coca-ColaCup senior champions Hanover Park andKraaifontein City could be the group’s darkhorses.ASD Cape Town Academy, Challenge

champions in 2010, will most likely take thetop spot inGroupDwithNational First Divi-sion team Chippa United finishing second.The Claremont-based club scored seven

goals and conceded none in three victoriesin the qualifiers and have a history of un-earthing and polishing the rough diamondsof Cape football since inception.

Atlantic Nacional and Bishop Lavis willscrap to avoid finishing at the bottom of thepile.The tournament will kick off at 17:30 on

Friday, with Old Mutual facing off againstKenpark United on the B field, and run untilthe last game at 20:15.

The Challenge will run from 09:30 to 15:30on Saturday, and from 09:30 until 15:30 (tour-nament final) on Sunday.All games will be played at the William

Herbert Sports complex in Wynberg. HeartFM’s Nick Feinberg and former Santoscoach Duncan Crowie will be in attendance

on the final day.V Visit www.peoplespost.co.za for news on the EngenKnockout Challenge as it happens.V Follow @ThePeople’sPost and @LiamCPT on Twit­ter for updates and results. If you are at the event,tweet your photos and messages of support for yourfavourite team, followed by #EngenKO13.
