SOCIAL ACTIVISM

‘Fighting gentrification’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Woodstock has been targeted by agroup of social activists, claiming tofight gentrification.

Tokolos-stencils, a group that uses graffitisocial messages, has left their mark againstdevelopers, estate agents, restaurants andproperty owners.The graffiti saw properties along Roode-

bloemRoad, as well asWoodstock Exchangeand the Old Biscuit Mill, tagged with theterm “Gentrin***er”.In a statement on the group’s website, the

group says the targets are “willing agents ofgentrification in Woodstock” and are mak-ing “a living off of the removal of the poorfrom a neighbourhood [where] they have of-ten lived all their lives”.“The gentrin***ers of Woodstock are an

unstoppable tsunami of urban renewal de-stroying any semblance of vibrancy and au-thenticity in its path – unstoppable that isunless the community fights back,” thestatement says.The group declined to comment, request-

ing instead that People’s Post “in one way oranother, be willing to become complicit inour cause” before an interview would begranted.The Nordic Africa Institute recently re-

leased an article which stated that Wood-stock is undergoing gentrification, a processwhich turns “rundownworking-class neigh-bourhoods into hip communities” and is“synonymous with displacement” for some,found researcher Marianne Millstein.In Woodstock, gentrification has taken on

class differences, with an influx middle-class people to the suburb.“But at the same time the areahas a specif-

ic background of race, identity and class,”Millstein says.Upper Woodstock Residents’ Association

chairperson Grant Quixley says the ques-tion of gentrification is an important andcontroversial issue – and one that needs tobe considered and debated.“We cannot, however, condone the wilful

defacing of people’s property for the purpos-es of making a political statement. The graf-fiti has also unfairly targeted particularbusinesses and individuals, when the issueof gentrification is one that involves the

whole community,” he says.People’s Post attempted to contact several

estate agents targeted by the graffiti artists,but only Leyden Properties responded to re-quests for comment.Leyden Properties’ Teun Baartman de-

clined to comment on the incident, saying ithas had no impact on business.“I would be happy to go into a discussion

about this action and the topic of gentrifica-

tion with people who are brave enough tospeak to me in person.“But I will not speak via the media with

faceless individuals who aremerelymakingassumptions about others which are notbased on fact.”Estate agents are nomore involved in gen-

trification than the people who buy and sellthrough them or any other businesses in thearea, says Quixley.

“They cater to a market and it is the mar-ket more than the agents that drive the gen-trification process,” he explains.The graffiti has stirred up debate on the

topic, he says.“This is no doubt part of its purpose.”Headds: “Therehavebeenmixed respons-

es, but the fact that an important debate hasbeen generated does not justify the particu-lar means that have been adopted.”

Home birth explainedMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

You’ re pregnant. For many womenthese two words could send shockwaves throughout their bodies.

While some may be happy and ready tobecome a mom, others may feel anxiousand worried. With a flurry of emotions –whether you are happy or sad, excited oranxious – all pregnant women will have tofigure out a birth plan.But as medical costs continue to rise,

many women are exploring their optionsincluding having their babies at home.Later this week a group of expecting

moms, coupled with midwives, birth ex-perts and partners will gather in Muizen-berg to discuss issues around home birth-ing. The informal event will be hosted byHome Birth South Africa in Muizenberg.

Early beginningsIn 2010, whileworking as doulas Lana Pe-

tersen and Ruth Ehrhardt became frustrat-ed with not being able to provide informa-tion on home births to expecting moms.A doula is a woman who offers continual

emotional and physical support to a labou-ring woman (and her partner).Together they decided to start hosting

home birth gatherings where doulas, mid-wives and interested parties sat togetherand shared their stories. HomeBirth SouthAfrica was formed and a website with ev-erything expecting parents need to knowcreated.Here women share their stories and pho-

tographs of home birth.

MisconceptionsSafety, cleanliness and complications are

some of the main issues faced by HomeBirth South Africa.Petersen explains despite a long history

of home births across the world, with mod-ern-daymedical procedures,many still per-ceived giving birth to be a medical proce-

dure.She says birth is a natural physiological

process and only requires medical inter-vention when there are complications.Petersen explains in preparation for a

home birth, the first step is for the motherto pick a caregiver.“The midwife will then ensure the moth-

er visits the hospital to ensure that a natu-ral home birth is safe and there are no com-plications.”Throughout thepregnancy, the caregiver

conducts regular check-ups and helps pre-pare women accordingly. “Midwives arehighly skilled and trained. They also workwith back-up hospitals so in the case ofemergency they are equipped to assist.”

ChoicePetersen says the gatherings are held to

help expecting parents explore their op-tions.She explains while they do not try and

convince moms to take the home birth op-tion, they aim to provide all the necessary

information to ensure parents choose abirth plan that suits them.“The one advantage is that because it’s

your home, you are not bound by hospitalprotocols.“Here themomcan decidewho shewants

to have aroundher and she is not surround-ed by strangers,” she adds.The gathering will take place on Sunday

1March at 18 Axminster Road,Muizenbergfrom 14:00 to 16:00.The gathering is aimed at thosewhohave

given birth at home, for those who havewanted home births, for those who areplanning a home birth or are thinkingabout it or are just curious.It is also for those whose home births did

not go as they had wished. Midwives anddoulas are also welcome.Entry is R60 per person or R100 for two

people.V For more information visit www.homebirth.org.zaor call Ruth on 078 557 9070 or email ruth@homebirth.org.za or call Lana on 073 514 9754 or [email protected].

App for crimeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Woodstock, Walmer Estate and Uni-versity Estate residents will soonbe able to report crime on the go.

The U-Watch Neighbourhood Watchplans to implement a mobile incident re-porting system.

In the formof amobile app, IncidentDeskwill allow for reporting of incidents linkedto the GPS location of the mobile device.The app is integrated with the City of CapeTown’s C3 notification system, which willlog service complaints, and will also notifyWoodstock Improvement District, saysU-Watch chairperson Andrew Geel.

The system will also allow the neigh-bourhood watch to generate reports andtrack crime hotspots, as well as predictwhen and where crime is likely to occurbased on historical data. “There is a needfor an incident reporting and managementtool that is easy touseandmanage, yet pow-erful enough to give us the informationthat we need,” says Geel.

The systemwill allow theneighbourhoodwatch to make use of standardised best-practice incident templates and share in-formation and intelligence between safetystructures, he says.

The app will allow residents numerous

ways to log an incident, including thesmartphone app and email and location-based SMS, Geel explains.

“It provides the neighbourhood watchmanagement and security companies thatuse it with a powerful cloud-based incidentmanagement system to manage, escalateand report on incidents logged inourarea.”

Community police forum chairpersonMoosa Sydow says there are structureswithin the police and forum to allow for thecollection of crime statistics and the map-ping of crime trends. “There are structuresin place and it is important that neighbour-hood watch organisations do not workagainst these,” he points out.

Sydow stressed that residents do not sub-stitute the mobile app for reporting crimesto the police. Reports must be lodged withthe police to ensure they can keep accuratestatistics and track trends and hotspots,Sydow explains.

Woodstockpolice spokespersonSergeantHilton Malila says police will support allinitiatives to improve service delivery inthe community. “The community muststill report any incident to the Woodstockpolice, to obtain a case number for record-ing and insurance purposes,” he says.V Residents can download the app from the iTunesand the Google Play store, by searching for “TakeAction”. Or report incidents via SMS to 35225 at R3.

New device to detect firesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A Salt River company has made savinglives its business.And now the Lumkani fire detection

device has the company competing for a $1mprize.The social enterprise firm has created a

fire detection device aimed at shackdwell-ers, which detects an increase in heat in-stead of smoke.Lumkani’s vision is to mitigate the loss of

life and property caused by dangerous firesoccurring in informal settlements, says fi-nancial director David Gluckman.“Wewish to increase the safety and securi-

ty of millions, if not hundreds of millions,of people across the globe who live at riskof slum fires,” he says.The product was born after a devastating

fire in Khayelitsha on New Year’s Day in2013.The blaze displaced thousands of people

and was a catalyst for research and develop-ment, Gluckman says.“This earlywarning detection systemhas its

roots in an engineering honours thesis of Fran-cois Petousis at UCT.This tragic event brought together a multi-

disciplinary team that would bring theory intoreality to helpmitigate the loss of life and prop-erty associated with the rampant spread ofshack fires,” he says.The device costs R120 and the battery will

last between one and two years.Lumkani uses heat detection technology

which is proved to be most effective at sensingfires in already smoky environments, Gluck-man explains.“The in-shack heat detector will ring when

a fire is detected enabling the family in thehome to respond proactively and possibly ex-tinguish the fire,” he says.If this is not the case, the device will then

trigger all deviceswithin a 100m range of itself,using transmission technology, to create acommunity-wide alert.

“Thiswill serve to proactively alert peo-ple of the danger to either assist in con-taining the fire, or saving family mem-bers and belongings,” he says.“The critical challenge we want to ad-

dress is both the personal safety aspect ofone’s family in the home as well as thespread of the fire to the surrounding com-munity.”Lumkani has now been listed as one of

five finalists in the inaugural Chivas Re-gal Win The Right Way Campaign.It is an international competition

which has attracted the world’s brightestpromisingly talented social entrepre-neurs.The winner will be announced on Fri-

day 27 February at Design Indaba, andwill join 20 other social entrepreneursfrom around the world in Silicon Valley,California, USA, for a mentorship pro-gramme.

Unique challengesThe mentorship programme will in-

cludementoring sessions by various busi-ness moguls, with visits to leading techcompanies, and pitching for the ultimateprize to take their business to the next lev-el – a portion of $1m in funding.Gluckman says the company faces

unique challenges, as there is little roomfor error.

“We’re not dealing with a mobile app thattells you how many calories you burn inyour sleep,” he says.“We are potentially dealing with life and

death and ‘failure’ in our case can come ata very high price – trust.”The company sold 850 devices between its

launch in November last year and the endof January and is already recording success-es.“Lumkani has already detected two fires

which the community has verified wouldhave displaced many people, had the net-work effect of the devices not taken placeand created a community-wide response tothe fire,” he says.

Multidisciplinary approachBut it’s the company’s team that holds the

secret to their success, Gluckman believes.“What stands out about Lumkani is that

we are about business and [social] impact –where both grow from the other at a similarrate.Our core strength is ourmultidisciplin-ary teamwhich promotes amulti-stakehold-er approach to growth and development,” hesays. “We have three engineers within theteam, a social change practitioner, entrepre-neurs and an industrial designer. We havea recipe of excellent people.”V Share your thoughts on this device. Starting withthe words “Post” and “device”, SMS to 32516.

Kensington police will see their ranksswell, with the appointment of 14 newtrainee officers.

Station commander Lieutenant-ColonelBernice Josephannounced ina communitypolice forummeeting last week that the ad-ditional staff would be deployed to the sta-tion this year.“Seven officers are currently at the train-

ing college and ready to join the station.Another seven are waiting to be trainedand will join the station this year,” shesays.The lack of manpower has been a strain

on the station, Joseph says.“Our office staff has been working over-

timeandafter hours to assistwithweekendoperations,” she says.During the meeting, various residents

raised concerns regarding a lack of visiblepatrols or vehicles to respond to crimes.Joseph says this is not due to a lack of

resources, but rather a lack of staff.After the station was highlighted as a

precinct which needed additional resour-ces due to increasing gang violence lastyear, the station has also partneredwith of-ficers working under Operation Combat,Joseph says.This focus on Kensington motivated the

additional staff appointments, she says.“Each station compiles a needs analysis

annually. This includes human and physi-cal resources,” she explains.Joseph has called on residents to report

crime, whichwill ensure the station is allo-cated the resources needed.She also called on residents to sign up as

police reservists or neighbourhood watchmembers to assist police in fighting crime.The Kensington Community Police Fo-

rum was not available to comment at thetime of going to print.

Kensington police will receive more officersto ease the station’s staff shortages.

Weare car enthusiasts and as young carowners we like to modify our cars. Thatis how much we love our cars. Do notpunish the innocent driver just becausehis car looks nice. It is unfair and very

wrong. If people cannot modify their carsthen [businesses] that sell mags and dropkits are going to suffer, if they do not getcustomers. The unemployment rate isalready sky high.

Death of two cyclists: time to enforce the lawThe Pedal Power Association (PPA) issaddened by the death of yet anothercyclist. Roy Neil Smith, aged 70, recentlydied while cycling along Victoria Road inCamps Bay.In 2013, the provincial government

passed a law stating that drivers mustpass cyclists with a minimum of 1m andit is time that drivers adhere to the lawor be prosecuted.Drastic action needs to be taken by the

provincial government to enforce this lawto keep cyclists alive.The fatal accident appears to have been

caused by a bus forcing the cyclist intothe pavement where he fell and wassubsequently crushed by a constructiontruck.Several PPA members have reported

via social media channels of beingnarrowly missed by buses on this partic-ular stretch of road where road worksare currently taking place.“There is no road shoulder, yet the bus

drivers seem to just plough through atfull speed without even the slightestdeviation to give cyclists some room,”one comment reads.The time has come for bus services –

and indeed all companies that use largevehicles – to educate their drivers about

the vulnerability of cyclists, pointing outthat they are breaking the law in theWestern Cape by not passing at (at least)1m.In memory of the deceased and in

protest of the unnecessary deaths ofcyclists on our roads, the PPA will beplacing a ‘ghost bike’ at the spot wherethe fatal accident occurred during thePPA Safe Cycling ‘Stay Wider of theRider’ Awareness Ride on Saturday 28February.The PPA just heard of another fatal

accident on the notorious Clovelly/KalkBay Main Road where it seems a com-muter on his way to work was fatallyinjured.The new law in the Western Cape is

quite clear that a driver of a motorvehicle, who passes a cyclist on a publicroad, must:(a) exercise due care while passing the

cyclist;(b) leave a distance between the motor

vehicle and the cyclist of at least 1m;c) and maintain that distance from the

cyclist until safely clear of the cyclist.Statistics show that almost all cycling

fatalities on our roads are caused bycyclists being hit by a motor vehicle frombehind or when a vehicle underestimates

the speed of a cyclist and turns in frontof the cyclist.Cyclists have almost no protection

when they are involved in an accident, soby giving them adequate space on theroads, motorists can avoid accidents thatcan cost precious lives.There are thousands of cycling com-

muters using our roads as a means ofgetting to work every day. The road isfor everyone’s use, so let’s show toleranceand respect for one another.The number of cyclists and motorists

on our roads are increasing each year.As of 2013, accidents involving motorvehicles and cyclists have increased byover 80% and statistics show that 40% ofall road fatalities are vulnerable roadusers, including cyclists.The PPA has made significant progress

in promoting safe cycling but every deathor incident reminds us it is still notenough. Please support our ‘Stay Widerof the Rider’ campaign and let’s raiseawareness to keep cyclists safe on ourroads.Visit the PPA website www.pedalpow-

er.org.za for more information or [email protected].

STEVE HAYWARDPEDAL POWER ASSOCIATION CHAIRPERSON

Last week a Cape Townmusician had his sax-ophone stolen.But in just a few days, the beloved instru-

ment was safely returned.After discovering that his sax had been stolenfrom his car, Nick Becker took to Facebook.He urged people to be on the lookout for theinstrument which had quite literally taken himacross the world.His post, along with his offer of a substantialreward, went viral andwithin four days anothermusician called him to say he’d found it.Despite Nick’s insistence, he wasn’t preparedto take the reward.Jai Reddy came across someone trying to sellthe saxophone in theCBDand recognised it fromNick’s Facebook post.He bought it, and then gave Nick a call.Theft is in some sense a part of life for manySouth Africans.But what makes this story so heartwarmingis the fact that the Cape Town music fraternity,along with non-musical folk, pulled together toget this man’s sax back.Everybody involved in the search simply hadto click “share”.Just one click made the world of difference inmaking sure someone would recognise the sto-len instrument.Apart from the lesson around the power of Fa-cebook, the bigger lesson here is the power ofcommunity andwhat we can do if we all contrib-ute just a little bit.As American historian and social activistHowardZinn once said: “Small acts,whenmulti-plied by millions of people, can transform theworld.”

PINELANDS

Chris is on the WergeLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

He just released his debut albumand opened for James Blunt in Ca-pe Town – all in the space of one

month.Considering he only really started

playing music professionally about twoyears ago, Chris Werge might just be onhis way to becoming a household name.Right now though, the Pinelands resi-

dent is concentrating on promoting hisalbum, Exposure, which he launched atthe Roxy Revue Bar last month.Chris describes his sound as “singer/

songwriter kind of music”.“If you like something like JohnMay-

er, Ed Sheeran, Ben Howard, you mightlike it.”He viewsmusic as an emotional outlet

and so his songs are all very honest sto-ries about his own experiences.“My real hope is for people to be inspi-

red and encouraged by mymusic, that’salways been the goal.”

CreativeThe 23-year-old has always been crea-

tive. Before seriously looking at music,he studied industrial design. After fouryears of studying, he decided to take ti-me and work on his dream of producingan album.Armed with 16 songs and encourage-

ment from his parents, Chris took out aloan and got to work on his unreleasedsix-track EP called Hope.His parents helped put him in touch

with GrandWest’s entertainment manager,Gavin Taylor, who took him under his wingand put him in touch with vocal coach, BevScott-Brown.Gavin also got Chris his first official gig

at the Jackson Hall, which is where he metproducer Neil Benjamin.“He was kind of blown awaywithmy stuff

when he walked in,” Chris says. “I think hecould relate to the music.”

ExposureThe two started working on Exposure last

year, very slowly at first, justwork shoppingand tracking Chris’ songs.Neil brought in bassist Rob Nel and drum-

mer Werner Von Waltsleben. AlthoughRob had to pull out of the project, he wasreplaced by Shaun Johannes, whoseLoevenstein studio, Mahogany Recor-ding Studio, was used for pre-producti-on work on the album.“It’s quite a hard process when your

songs are gettingmovedaroundor chan-ged; it’s like your baby.”But Chris says when he listens back

to his songs nowhe can hear how impor-tant it is to have a producer and how hissongs now have better structure.The final product was recorded at

Thundabird Studios, where he also hi-red string and brass arranger, LynnePoulsen, who can also be heard playingpiano on the album.

EmotionalChris describes the recording process

as tiring. “It’s emotional; you are pou-ring your heart out in songs.” He saysit was a bit of a struggle to find a balancebetween sounding the best he can andmaintaining the emotion of the song.“I’m proud of the work I’ve done,” he

says of the 11-month project.Chris hopes to have hismusic on local

airwaves in coming months, but the al-bum is available online and at hisshows.His plan for the next couple of months

is to play as many shows as possible, re-cord a music video, promote his albumand start working on songs and the capi-tal for his next album.“With every album you learn for the

next album.”If he isn’t too busy with music, he also li-

kes to use his industrial design qualificati-ons and possibly do more television ads liketheEuropeanadhe recently shot forNutella.For now, music lovers can visit

www.chriswerge.com for more about Chris,links to his social media profiles and to buyExposure.

SEAN CAMPBELL

The highly anticipated, potential league-deciding match between Giants andCrusaders truly lived up to the pre-

match hype.It was fast, exciting, action-packed and

with the short game squeezed in aswell. Bat-tle lines were drawn as supporters fromGrassy park and Kensington came out intheir numbers to support their teams.

The Giants started with Jaydee Thorneand he contained the Crusaders’ hitters forsix innings before he exhausted his 110pitches allowed for the day. Thorne (6 in-nings, 2 Hits, 3 BB, 5K’s and 2 HBP) was re-placed by Kurt Pretorious at the top of the7th inning with the score 7-4 to the Giants.

This is where the wheels came off for theGiants, as Pretorious (0.1 inning, 1 Hit, 3Runs, 3 BB) struggled to find the plate andwas later replaced byCarloKoks in the sameinning. Crusaders found Koks’ pitching totheir liking. Koks finished the game (2.2 in-ning, 5 Hits, 3 BB) but was also sabotaged bythe Giants poor defence. The Giants made 5errors in the game.

Crusaders surprised the Giants by start-ing with the experienced Benjamin van derRoss. This almost backfired on Crusaderswhen Van der Ross conceded 4 runs in thefirst inning. Van der Ross (2.1 inning, 3 Hits,3 BB and 3HBP) was quickly replaced by theyoung Cameron Fortuin. Fortuin did muchbetter (6.2 inning, 6 Hits, 0 BB and 7 K’s) andmade scoring difficult for the Giants. Cru-saders were fortunate that the four errorsthey made weren’t as costly as the Giants’

errors. Carlo Koks 4/5, 1 RBIwas theGiants’best batter. Aldrin Hendricks 2/3, 2 RBI’sand Cameron Fortuin 2/5 were Crusaders’best batters.

* In Softball action, Glenthorn A defeatedFalcons 6-3 on Saturday to secure their thirdsuccessiveWestern Province Softball Feder-ation (WPSF) Super League Championshipwith three games still to be played.

GlenthornAhas a very successful fieldingunit spearheaded by cousins Alex and Ni-cole Fortune, which is well complementedby the powerful and effective pitching ofLauren Mulder and she was well supportedby the standout hitting of Carla Swanepoeland Lisa Erasmus.

Glenthorn A remains on course for theLeague and Knockout Double when theyface Falcons in the final next month.
