A strip of Salt River heritage buildingsare falling into disrepair andare bring-ing down the prices of surrounding

properties, say community members.A number of neighbouring historical

townhouses on Swift Street, all owned by thesame landlord, are slowly crumbling, leav-ing tenants fed-up.The walls are falling apart and covered in

peeling paint.A tenant, who requested not to have her

name published, says a number of the hous-es are falling into disrepair while the ownerlives comfortably.“Some of the tenants have spent money

fixing up the houses themselves because thelandlord won’t carry out any repairs. Butother tenants are pensioners and can’t af-

ford those kind of repairs. The houses from34 to 40 look like c**p,while he lives in a live-able condition,” she says.However, another tenant – who spoke to

People’s Post on condition of anonymity –says although no repairs have been made,the rent is reasonable and he has a good rela-tionship with the landlord.The shabby houses are also reportedly af-

fecting the sale of neighbouring properties,an anonymous resident says.Salt River Ratepayers’ Association chair-

person Warda Rahim says some residentsare upset over the eyesores.“We are very fortunate to be one of the few

areas which have heritage buildings. Allthese buildings need to be preserved and theowners need to take care of them. Ownersshould feel honoured to have a historicalproperty. The community needs to put pres-sure on landlords to beautify their proper-

ties, as these buildings bring down the valueof surrounding homes. If everyone put onsome fresh paint it would increase the prop-erty values and beautify the neighbour-hood,” she says.The buildings are older than 60 years and

have heritage value, says Economic, Envi-ronmental and Spatial Planning MayoralCommittee member Garreth Bloor.“The properties referred to are graded as

3B, meaning that they are older than 60years, significant and contribute to thestreetscape and character of the HeritageProtection Overlay Zone within which theyare located.“The properties enjoy general protection,

which means the legislation protects them,but they are not promulgated as specificallyprotected sites,” he explains.Owner Abdullah Gabie says he rents the

houses at between R500 and R900 a month,

which leaves himwith limited funds to reno-vate. He says he has replaced two roofs andhas plans to replace a third, as well as paint,shortly.“If I’m going to fix up the front of the build-

ings as well, I’m going to have to put up therent.Where elsewill youget ahouse for sucha reasonable rent?”The City’s Problem Building Unit has not

received any complaints about these build-ings, confirms Safety and Security Execu-tiveDirectorRichardBosman, butwill be in-vestigated.However, there is limited action that can

be taken by council, Bloor says.“In the case of illegal work, the City is

mandated to stop work, but in this case alack of maintenance and restoration is theissue. The City can work with the owner toprovidemaintenance and restorationadviceand solutions,” he says.

HOUSING: DISABLED PEOPLE VENT THEIR FURY AT POLICITIANS

Mounting frustrations at backlogLAILA MAJIET

@laila_newsie

Disabled people continue to be sidelined.This was the sentiment shared at a

housing meeting last week.Wheelchair-bound locals say they are ig-

nored when it comes to the housing waitinglist. Their needs are also never taken intoaccount when residential developmentplans are made, they contend.While a number of housing projects have

sprungup acrossCapeTown in recent years,wheelchair-bound residents say thedevelop-ments are not accessible for all.Deputy Minister of Women, Children and

People with Disabilities Hendrietta Bogo-pane-Zulu says disabled people must de-mand better standards of service delivery.She suggests a housing list for disabled

people be established to ensure those withspecial needs are not overlooked.“When houses are allocated, developers

must indicatewhogets theproperties. Thoselists can be inspected by the public. They arenot top secret. However, it is your responsi-bility to enquire,” Bogopane-Zulu says.Should ahouse not be accessible for a disa-

bled beneficiary, there is a rectification pro-gramme put in place by the Department ofHumanSettlements to address this problem.

“There is money this government has setaside for top-ups to ensure houses are acces-sible. If you become disabled due to an ill-ness, you can also make use of this pro-gramme,” she says.Anthony George, who is confined to a

wheelchair, believes more awareness needs

to be created to ensure the rights of disabledpeople are not violated.“People are not aware of the processes and

policies in place to assist them,” he says.George, who is also the provincial secre-

tary of Disabled People’s South Africa, saysnational government has put in place poli-

cies that outline the guidelines which pro-vincial and local government should adhereto when building houses.“These policies aim to ensure accessible

houses are built for the disabled, but are notalways adhered to,” he argues.Bogopane-Zulu reiterates this and says

her department, which has an oversightfunction, tests norms and standards.“Should you be concerned about these

norms and standards not being upheld, con-tact my department so we can investigate.”Zou Kota-Fredericks, deputy minister of

human settlements, says there are housingdevelopments where no disabled peoplehave benefited. “Each developer must setaside houses for people with disabilities.These houses need to take into account theneeds of the disabled person.”AndileNdabeni says houses built inKhay-

elitsha do notmeet the needs of disabled peo-ple. “It sounds like to our leaders we do notbelong in South Africa. I was told that a de-velopment in Site C is not suitable for peoplewith disabilities. If we do not belong in thesecommunities, where do we belong?”Hispatience iswearing thinashehasbeen

sent from pillar to post in a bid to resolvethe matter. “As disabled people we are al-ways told to be patient. Politicians alwaystalk, but when are they going to work for

us?” he asked.Allen Gordon

questioned the sin-cerity of politiciansspeaking at themeeting. “Thissounds like a storyI have heard fiveyears ago. Howlong arewe going towait before youtake action?”Two resolutions

taken at the meet-ing includesspreading aware-ness of the rightsand responsibili-ties of disabled peo-ple in terms of theallocation of hous-es. It was suggestedthe human settle-ments departmentopens an office inthe Western Cape.

WALMER ESTATE: SQUATTERS BLAMED FOR MUGGINGS

Plot woesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Constitution Road is the scene for twist-ed irony. Street people repeatedlyerect informal structures on the wide

and open plot along the road, while enragedWalmer Estate homeowners blame themfor crime in the area.Section 26 of the South African Constitu-

tion enshrines everybody’s right to hous-ing.The structures areon thedoorstepofRah-

maniyeh Primary, and the school has beenleft feeling the brunt of criminal activity.Rahmaniyeh Primary principal Adbul-

lah Ranoot says the settlements pop up“from time to time”.“We haven’t had any incidents this year,

but in the past there have been cases ofmuggings and we have had a number ofbreak-ins andvagrants on the property,” hesays.The school perimeter is only partially

fenced, which makes it an easy target, Ra-noot says.“It’s very costly to replace stolen pipes

and fencing every time the school is hit.We’ve been waiting two or three years forthe education department to provide fenc-ing,” he says.Provincial education department spokes-

person Bronagh Casey says Rahmaniyeh isnot on the scheduled fencing list.“The department has also not received

any requests from the school for emergencymaintenance on the fence. The school mustmake a request to the department, follow-ing the relevant procedures. Given the safe-ty concerns, the department will, however,make a request for Public Works to investi-gate,” she says.This response has Ranoot stumped.“The provincial minister of education

DonaldGrantwas at the school on a site vis-

it and the department is aware a fence isneeded. We were told last year that we areon the list. It’s frustrating, becausewe havedonors who would like to invest in theschool, but are not willing to do so unlessthe fence is erected,” he says.The City of Cape Town’s Displaced Peo-

ples Unit has conducted operations in thisarea before to remove vagrants, but thestreet people often return once the officersleave, saysMayoral Committeemember forSocial Development and Early ChildhoodDevelopment, Suzette Little. There is alsoa dedicated fieldworker in every area.“The unit, together with Social Develop-

ment, conducts regular interventions to re-integrating the street peoplewith their fam-ilies. However, many of them refuse the as-sistance offered by the City,” she says.Walmer Estate Community Residents’

Forum chairperson Moosa Sydow says thearea is oftenusedas a shortcut by residents.He is aware of a number of cases of mug-gings, and claims criminals infiltrate theinformal settlements to act as lookouts fortheir accomplices.“The land invasion is very close the

greens area,which is used by the communi-ty for sport. I suspect there are a numberof opportunists whomonitor the homeown-ers walking past and then mug them. Thelonger the informal settlement stays there,the more of an anti-social problem it be-comes for us”, says Sydow.Charles Mwerenga has been living in the

open field next to Constitution Road forfour months.“We have no other place to live and we

chose this site because there are no build-ings, sowewon’t disturb any one.We aren’tinvolved in crime,” he says.The unit will continue to conduct opera-

tions, in conjunction with Law Enforce-ment patrols, Little says.V Phone the City’s call centre on 0800 872 201.

TRANSPORT: SAFE PARKING NODES TO PROMOTE CYCLING

Pedal power tohelp green cityNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Saving the planet,one bicycle and art-work at a time.

That is the aim behindanumberof bicyclepark-ing spots, in the form ofart installations, to be fit-ted throughout ward 57.The parking is intend-

ed to serve as functionalart, says ward councillorBrett Herron.“The objective is to

provide well-located bi-cycle parking to encour-age and support cycling as a means of com-muting and at the same time add somepoints of interest and design within theward,” he says.The parking will be set up in key points

in Salt River, Observatory, Mowbray,Woodstock, District Six and Vredehoek.A number of nodes and locations in the

ward are being investigated with the helpof the City of Cape Town’s Urban Designand Non-Motorised Transport branches,says Herron.The sites have not been formalised yet.Herron hopes to have the first group of

parking installations up by the end of June.“Depending on the cost of the designs I

would like to install two or three locationsin this financial year. If the designs workwell then we can look at extending this toother sites,” he says.Last year, Lifestyle on Kloof mall rolled

out a bicycle parking lot to accommodateshoppers who chose to cycle.Cape Town has a growing number of ur-

ban cyclistswhouse their bikes to commutetowork and travel to local shops and restau-

rants, explains Bicy-cle Cape Townspokesperson LeonieMervis.One of the biggest

needs for cyclists inthe city, alongsidesafe cycle routes, is tohave secure and easi-ly accessible parkingfacilities, she says.“Currently there

are only a few cen-trally located bicycleracks in the city cen-tre, but there arenone located in theKloof area. Kloof

Street is a prime spot for secure parking,with a cluster of shops located nearby,” shesays.Cyclists can look forward tomorebicycle-

friendly parking areas across themetropole, Mervis says.“Over thenext yearweplan to roll out our

Bike Friendly Campaign to more venues inand around the city.“The next location for bicycle parking fa-

cilities is planned for the BayHarbourMar-ket in Hout Bay and will go hand in handwith an initiative to encourage people to cy-cle to the market,” she says.The parking will tie in with a plan to roll

out a green cycling lane along Strand Streetand Albert Road, Woodstock.The contract has been awarded and work

should commence next month.The lanes will go a long way towards cre-

ating safer cycling environments, aswell asencouraging other road users to share thepublic right of way in the city, says Herron.The cycle lanes should not impact on traf-

fic, saysHerron, as traffic laneswill remainthe standard size.

WOODSTOCK: COMMUNITY MAP DESIGNED AND INSTALLED

Clear as dayIn a bid to promote safety, tourism and

economic development, a local NPO hascreated a free community map to assist

commuters to the Woodstock station.The Partnering, Networking and Re-

search organisation (Partner) unveiled acommunity map on Tuesday for the thou-sands of people using Woodstock station.

Partner intends to demonstrate thatmaps can be put up affordably at any trainstation in the country, says spokespersonJanine Tilley, who regularly uses Wood-stock station.

“When arriving at the station it seems asif one is in the middle of nowhere,” she says.

“It is difficult to work out where the mainroad is and how to find alternative formsof transport such as a commuter taxi, Gold-en Arrow or MyCiTi bus,” she says.

“Sometimes the train from the citybreaks down at Woodstock station at night

and because there is no signage it can bechallenging for people who are unfamiliarwith the area to find another way home.”

Woodstock has experienced urban up-grading yet through this gentrificationtourist attractions such as the WoodstockExchange and the Old Biscuit Mill are notaccessible for the average commuter, saysTilley.

“With this new sign showing where plac-es such as the Old Biscuit Mill are located,both tourists and locals can easily find theirway,” she says.

The map also lists the nearest police sta-tion, the St Anne’s Women and Children’sShelter, as well as the nearest clinic, ATMand pharmacy.

The map features a quick response (QR)code that allows those with smart phonesto scan the code and generate a Google mapon their phones.

The sign is mounted high, is hard wear-ing and easily upgraded at a low cost.

The map itself cost only R7800 to produce.Partner worked with the Woodstock Im-

provement District, Indigo Properties, thebicycle shop The Gear Change and Signara-ma on the project.

MYCITIONTHEMOVE

Be aware,be safeMotorists, pedestrians, cyclists and bus drivers all needto take great care at intersections aroundMyCiTi busstops and stations.

New public transport servicesintroduce changes topatterns of road use and

driver behaviour. This is particularlyso for MyCiTi, with its dedicatedbus lane and priority traffic signals.

“The best way to preventaccidents at intersections is formotorists to be aware of howthe signalling and the bus laneswork,” says Councillor BrettHerron, Mayoral CommitteeMember: Transport for CapeTown. “It is also extremelydangerous for pedestrians towalk along or across the buslanes. When using MyCiTistations, pedestrians should onlyuse designated crossings andonly start walking when the greenman appears.

“Everyone approaching anintersection, whether they areon foot, on a bike, in a car or abus, should exercise caution– especially in wet weather orvisibility is poor in the earlymorning and evenings.”

Safety tips formotoristsThe traffic signalling around someMyCiTi stations and bus lanesis different to that used at otherintersections, according to theCity’s Traffic Management Centre.Drivers wanting to turn rightacross bus lanes may not moveinto the intersection until theysee a green arrow. Even thoughthe light is green for vehiclesgoing straight or turning left, theymust wait behind the line. If theymove forward or turn they willbe directly in the path of MyCiTibuses coming along the red lane.

Motorists should not simply

follow the car ahead, which maybe making a mistake.

In areas where there are no buslanes, MyCiTi buses use roadsidestops and halt in the generaltraffic lanes. This ensures thatbuses are not delayed by pullingin and out of bus bays. Motoristsare requested to be patient forthe short time it takes for buspassengers to board or alight,and not to overtake.

Safety tips for pedestriansPedestrians crossing at MyCiTistations need to press thepedestrian button, wait for thegreen man to appear and thenstart walking. The green manflashes for five seconds andis followed by a flashing redman. If the red man is flashing,pedestrians should not step offthe sidewalk as there will not betime to cross the road before thelight turns green for buses.

Motorists are reminded thatpedestrians have right of way foras long as the red man is flashing.

Walking in or across bus lanes,except at a pedestrian crossing,is dangerous. MyCiTi buses haveexclusive use of the lane andtravel at a consistent speed toadhere to schedules. Pedestriansmay also be fined for walking inbus lanes.

Safety tips for cyclistsCyclists are required to obey allroad signs and traffic signals.They must stop and wait atintersections until traffic signalsturn green. This includes waitingfor the green arrow before turningright across a bus lane.

For more information call the Transport Information Centre (toll-free 24/7) 0800 65 64 63. Visit www.myciti.org.za

Start walking only when the greenman appears.

Motorists wishing to turn right must wait for the green arrow before entering the intersection.

A motorist illegally crosses the bus lane, while the bushas right of way.

TemporarychangestoAirport serviceThere are now increased frequencies on several routes due to

public demand. This includes:

Oranjezicht - Gardens - Civic Centre between 06:30 and08:30 and 16:00 and 18:00Waterfront Silo - Civic Centre - Camps Bay (clockwise) andWaterfront Silo - Civic Centre - Camps Bay (anti-clockwise)between 07:00 and 08:00 and 14:30 to 17:00.Hout Bay - Hangberg - Sea Point - Civic Centre andHout Bay - Imizamo Yethu - Sea Point - Civic Centre.

OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMUNITYMEMBERS OFWARD 57 TO UNDERGOCALL CENTRE TRAINING IN 2014

Honouring Giantsin MaitlandGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

An era when sport played a big part inthe community was rememberedwhen Maitland Giants Baseball Club

recently hosted a reunion.Former star players spoke about the

game with fond memories of the enjoymentit brought to them and, most importantly,the positive impact it had on them as jun-iors taking the lessons of discipline intotheir adult lives.

While many of those players may haveleft Maitland and spread across the penin-sula, it was obvious that the Giants re-tained a special place in their hearts.

This event was the brainchild of MilesOctober, a former player who rose throughtheir ranks from junior level, and wants togive back to his community through a neworganisation Play Sport4Life (PS4L).

“The organisation is a new developmentventure based in the Kensington, Factretonand Maitland areas that wants to revivesport in the area,” he says.

“We organised this event to highlighthow important sport was in the communityand to honour some of the club’s formergreats who were inducted into the Hall ofFame. It’s important that we show our ap-preciation for the role these guys played.”

While the evening was well attended andsaw former players from many eras get to-gether for the first time, there was also abig surprise.

“Kenny Roman, the club’s star pitcher inthe 1970s, was flown in from Australia to at-tend the event and surprised birthday boyDanny Page when he walked in with a hugeMaitland Giants birthday cake,” Milessays.

“This was very special for so many of themembers because Kenny was one of thestars of our teams. He shared some of thehighlights of his playing days with the gath-ering.”

Miles is serious the goals of PS4L in hishome suburb. “We want to revive sport inthe community as a means to deal with thesocial issues plaguing it – rampant drugabuse, gang violence and crime.

“PS4L intends to provide a safe environ-ment where children and adults can playsport and have fun and at the same time,learn essential skills such being disci-plined, team work and respect for others.

“Other sports clubs which have benefitedfrom PS4L sponsorship this year includesNorway Parks Football Club, Athlone A’sBaseball Club and Kenfac Phillies SoftballClub.”V For more information on PS4L visit www.play-sport4life.org
