This follows after vandalism at the Victo- ria Road building saw it stripped and re- duced to an eyesore. The property appears to form part of an erf earmarked for a multi-storey develop- ment, called Woodstock Quarter. But as con- struction failed to start, residents reported timber and finishing stolen from the site. The shell of the building was then demol- ished one weekend, says Upper Woodstock Residents’ Association exco member Nils Hansen. Mayoral Committee Member for Energy, Environmental and Spatial Planning Johan van der Merwe says it appears the property owner acted on the approval for the demoli- tion obtained from Heritage Western Cape, prior to obtaining approval from the City in terms of the National Building Regulations. “Thereafter, an application for demolition was submitted to the City’s Planning and Building Development Management Depart- ment. The department is handing the matter to the City’s Legal Services Department to consider possible further action,” he says. Swish property spokesperson Justin Betts says the company was late in submitting the demolition application to the City but felt there was “no choice but to demolish the structures as they were becoming unsafe”. “Both houses had been vacated and were empty. Thieves were coming in at night (and in broad daylight sometimes) and stripping the building. All of the internal roof beams were stolen and the roof was ready to col- lapse at any second,” he says. Most of the damage to the building had al- ready taken place before the property owner was even aware of it, says Betts. “We visit the property once a month or when one of our tenants request us to see them. The neighbouring tenants assumed that we were busy in the units, so did not query what was going on, so the first time we saw the damages it was almost too late. The costs to rectify the damage to make the property rentable just did not make econom- ic sense,” he says. Cornwall Street residents have com- plained about the state of the site after the illegal dumping created a stench (“Conten- tious site raises ire”, People’s Post, 6 Novem- ber 2013). The site stretches from Cornwall Street to Victoria Road, and from Baron Street to Gympie Street. In 2012, plans for the pro- posed development sparked residents’ out- rage after they were approved by the City of Cape Town. They objected to the height of the building. Woodstock Community Outreach Forum chairperson Shamiel Abbass previously told People’s Post residents agreed to only five storeys, as anything higher will obstruct their view of the mountain. The application proposes to develop the property into nine storeys consisting of a re- tail component and a block of flats. Luigi Tollon, property manager at Swish Properties who owns the site, previously told People’s Post the company has secured their property with a wall and on-site securi- ty. Van der Merwe says the City has not re- ceived any recent complaints and no appli- cations have been submitted for this site. Richard Bosman, of the City’s safety and security directorate, says the City’s Problem Building Unit has not received any com- plaints about the property. Uncared for buildings are a massive prob- lem in Woodstock, says Hansen. “They allow criminals to get away with doing criminal activities without any consequences. The landlords allow the building to fall into dis- repair to get away with legalities around heritage and building regulations.” Eyesores such as the site are chasing away would-be developers, Hansen believes. “Be- cause of all these decaying buildings, Wood- stock struggles to advance fully and local businesses and residents have to deal with the negative aspects of dealing with develop- ers and cash-strapped council depart- ments,” he says. And, Hansen maintains, the entire com- munity suffers from derelict sites. “Often what the owners are actually doing is not technically unlawful but it does affect every- one negatively. Harsher punishment is needed for developers trying to get away without being thoughtful and considerate to the locals.” The Woodstock Quarter scheme, approved by the City on 18 April 2013, implied that those houses would have had to be demol- ished to make way for the new development, says Betts. “So we felt that demolition of the structures would have been a formality with the City. The demolition application is at City at the moment,” he says. Swish is in talks with a potential investor, which if successful, will allow them to sub- mit building plans to council for approval, according to Betts.

EMPLOYMENT

Fight for right to workASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A woman with a physical disability hasnot given up her own fight to ensurepeople living with disabilities have a

right to decent employment.Undere Deglon, CEO of Disability Work-

shop Development Enterprise (DWDE),works closely with a number of companiesin the private sector that are committed toemploying people with disabilities.

The Institute for Promotion of DisabledManpower, in partnership with Western

Cape Network on Disability, held a summitat the Cape Town International ConventionCentre (CTICC) on Friday 13 February.

Sinawe Pezi, deputy CEO of DWDE, ex-plained through education, empowermentand networking opportunities between em-ployers and people with disabilities, the orga-nisation’s Employment Support Servicesmakes a significant contribution towards en-riching lives, building an inclusive societyand inspiring young people on their way to-wards finding opportunities for work.

The DWDE launched the Employment Sup-port Services in 2013 across South Africa with

an associated target employment of 1200people with disabilities in the open labourmarket.

Pezi says the 2% employment campaignis a partnership between DWDE, theJobs Fund, administered by the Develop-ment Bank of Southern Africa and the Unit-ed Nations Special Rapporteur on Disabili-ty.

“We seek to create awareness among em-ployers about the employability of peoplewith disabilities and to give people withdisabilities exposure to employment op-portunities and guide them in the right ca-reer choices,” she says.

During the Disability Employment Sum-mit, the organisation presented an over-view of an employment creation cam-paign.

It was revealed at the summit that theprivate sector is well on its way to meetingthe 2% quota set out by government, whilesome are exceeding expectation.

Pezi says many South Africans with disa-bilities desperately require an increase injob creation initiatives to overcome the un-employment problem.

“Unemployment is the root cause of pover-ty and inequality, and can be a contributingfactor to substance abuse, increased levelsof crime and social exclusion,” she says.

Pezi says according to Statistics South Af-rica Census 2011, there are just over two mil-lion (7.54%) people with disabilities, exclud-ing certain groups and children youngerthan five, compared to people without disa-bilities which total just over 35 million(92.46%).

“On the other hand, the Commission forEmployment Equity Annual Report2013/2014, reporting on employment equityprogress among designated employers, not-ed after 15 years there are only about 50 000(0.9%) people with disabilities in employ-ment,” she says.

This is miles away from the target of 2%employment of persons with disabilities setby the government, Pezi explains. “The Em-ployment Equity Act in South Africa was in-tended to eliminate discrimination in em-ployment by developing a labour force thatis broadly representative of the South Afri-can population,” she says, adding many dis-abled locals remain dependent upon others.

Cutting carbon emissionsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Exhaust fumes, bright lights and thehumof air conditioning units are all part ofa bustling city centre.

But they are adding to the around 900 000tonnes of carbon dioxide produced by theCape Town CBD per year.

In 2012, the CBD produced 881 000 tonnesand consumed 7 100 terajoules of energy, ac-cording to the Cape Town Central City Im-provement District (CCID)’s report on thestate of the central city.

This is the equivalent to the power drawnby over four quadrillion LED light bulbs.

If unchecked, energy usage in 2030 willgrow to 12 600 terajoules, the report projects.

Reducing this carbon footprint has be-come the focus of a strategy the Cape TownPartnership, a non-profit organisationwhich liaises between different role-playersto bring about transformation in the city.

The strategy focuses on two main aspects:collecting research data and implementing

solutions to reduce carbon emissions.Cape Town Partnership spokesperson

Skye Grove says having data allows the or-ganisation to better understand the emis-sions on a small neighbourhood scale andmake informed policy and action decisions.

“The low-carbon central city strategy isbased around policy and action – connectinggood planning with practical improvementsfor a more environmentally friendly and re-silient central city,” she says.

The strategy has concentrated on raisingawareness since inception last year, Grovesays. “Phase one, which was the researchand recommendations phase, was all aboutgetting the data and communicating it to awider audience,” she says.

This has seen numerous people accessinginfographics and information released bythe organisation.

The partnership is currently fundraisingto implement the second phase of the strate-gy.

Thisphasewill see trials of someof thepol-icy recommendations, both on the streets

and in buildings, Grove explains.Change is, however, already underway.Residents and organisations fromall sides

are already starting to do things that encour-age a lower-carbon way of living and work-ing in the city, Grove says.

The City of Cape Town recently installed800 sodiumvapour street lights formore effi-cient lighting and is in the process of rollingout new financial incentives and packagesto make solar water heating and electricitygeneration a reality for central city resi-dents.

“Businesses are slowly starting to adoptcarpooling incentives and both city and pro-vincial governments are installing metersin their buildings to monitor their energyconsumption,” Grove says.

Increased MyCiTi bus services have alsogiven public transport a boost, Grove says,which is vital in reducing carbon emissions.

Although cars account for 54% of passen-ger kilometres created by commuters to theCBD, they account for over 87% of all thetransport energy to and in the CBD.

“We need more people to get out of theircars,” she says.

“Think about what it would be like if com-panies banded together to launch an electricbike share system, helping employees andclients move around sustainably from onebuilding to another. So many fewer carswould be on the road.”

This would mean less time spent drivingaround looking for parking or in traffic,Grove says.

“The central city is one part of a largercity, small in geography but vital in termsof use,” she adds.

“By working together to lower our carbonfootprint, we can ensure that we’re goingfurther to reduce the entire metro-region’sfootprint, and helping to mitigate for the in-creased effects of climate change.”

Traffic in the CBD is upping the carbon footprint of the central city. This is just one of thepoints raised in the Cape Town Partnership’s strategy to lower carbon emissions.PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

Water shortageCape Town’s fresh water supply is under

major threat and according to the De-partment of Water and Sanitation most

analysts predict South Africa’s water de-mand will outstrip its supply by 2025.

Already the demand for water has over-taken supply in 60% of South Africa’s watermanagement systems.

However, according to water scientists,changing our everyday behaviour can helpto alleviate the pressure put on our reservesdue to climate change, pollution and outdat-ed infrastructure.

During National Water Week, Monday 16to Sunday 22 March, theWatershed Festivalaimed to restore the public’s appreciation ofclean and accessible drinking water, re-minding them of its worth, scarcity and theabsence of a substitute.

The festival saw free educational eventsheld across the city, including an outdoorscreening of two award-winning documen-tary feature films depicting water in all its

beauty at Green Point Urban Park.TheWatershed Festival looks to create in-

creased awareness of the Cape and SouthAf-rica’s water crisis. With dams currently at69% capacity, all it will take to literally runon empty is a few consecutive winters withless than expected rainfall thanks to climatechange.

And 40% of our waste water treatment fa-cilities are in a critical state and in need ofan upgrade, having outlived their 30-yearlifespan by a decade or so.

South Africa loses 37% of clean, drinkablewater through leaking pipes and drippingtaps every year, while increasing pollutiondue to rapidly expanding urban areas and il-legal dumping add to the crisis.V Win! Win! Win! Five readers stand a chance towin a Woolworth’s hamper of WLAB washing

As part of the Watershed Festival, free educational events, such as documentary screenings,took place across the city.

Despite the chilly air, the event offeredJerome Cornelius and Wendyl Martin insightinto the dilemma over water.

Final farewellNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

One of Maitland’s longest servingpriests has steppeddown from thepul-pit.

However, retirement for the New Apos-tolic Church’s Colin Joostewill still see himactive in the church.

Jooste retired this month after minister-ing for 47 years – amilestonehebelieves fewothers can speak of.

“I’ve spent 52 years in the trenches andI’ve loved every minute of it” he says.

This calling saw Jooste stepping up at theage of 15, shortly after being confirmed,when he began teaching at Sunday school.

“My parents had to give permission forme to join the ministry,” he explains.

The Observatory resident was inspiredby the idea of mission work, but never hadthe funding to travel overseas.

He then decided to carry out his mission

work locally, which saw him giving servi-ces at local juvenile prisons, nurses’ homesand police training academies.

Jooste also devoted himself to the churchchoir after learning to play the organ in hisyouth, and held the position of choirmasterfor 25 years.

He plans to devote a portion of his retire-ment to establishing a choir at DrydenStreetPrimary inSaltRiver,wherehe is thechairperson of the school governing body.

Apublishedpoet, Jooste also plans to pub-lish an anthology of this work and hold pho-tographic exhibitions of his work as a pressphotographer.

But Jooste says he will never completelyleave the ministry, and will still serve thecommunity by visiting the sick and offeringencouragement to those inneed – a task thatcan sometimes be challenging.

“It’s difficult when there is sorrow in afamily and you must comfort them. Andthen on the same day, you must officiate a

wedding and celebratewith that family. Youhave to bring it all be-fore the Almighty God,”he says.

The support of hisfamilyhasbeen invalua-ble through his years ofservice, with his wife –the child of a priest – un-derstanding the de-mands on his time.

TOURISM

City of goldNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Local tourism companies willstand a chance at taking tophonours at the African Re-

sponsible Tourism Awards, withthe ultimate goal of being thebest in the world.Regional winners will be en-

tered into theWorld ResponsibleTourism competition, the lead-ing global awards recognisingachievement and innovation inresponsible tourism.Africa’s winners will be an-

nounced in Cape Town in Aprilas part of Africa Travel Week.Cape Town Tourism CEO En-

ver Duminy says responsibletourism sees operators putting“the environment, which in-cludes the people of a destinationat the centre of its activities”.“Tourism protects the triple

bottom line: people, place andprofit,” he says.This means that tourism

shouldhavemaximumeconomicbenefit and minimum impact onthe ecosystems and cultural tra-ditions of a place, Duminy ex-plains.In Cape Town, where tourism

is such a central economic driv-er, it is important that the tour-ism picture includes a variety ofvoices and enables people to bepart of the tourismcycle, he says.“By bringing a visitor to a

township shop, a woman whomakes beadwork is able to earnan income without having totravel far from her children,” hesays.Wesgro – the tourism, trade

and investment promotion agen-cy for the Western Cape – is themain sponsor for the 2015 Afri-can Responsible TourismAwards.“These awards will go a long

way towards creating awarenessof the importance of sustainabili-ty along with showcasing and re-warding those who are drivingand excelling at it,” says Wesgrochief marketing officer JudyLain.The inaugural African Re-

sponsible Tourism Awards havealready generated significantparticipation across Africa.Over 110 nominations have

been received from 16 countriesand the judging process is al-ready well underway.Duminy believes Cape Town

tour operators are set to shine inthe competition.“CapeTown is already interna-

tionally recognised as a frontrunner in responsible tourism,”he says.Last year one of the world’s

leading ethical agents, responsi-bletravel.com, included CapeTown on their list of the top 10destinations where a visit willmake a real difference to localpeople and conservation efforts,he says.Last year, BBC Travel named

CapeTownasoneof themost eco-friendly cities in the world.The V&A Waterfront won

World Responsible TourismGoldAwards as theBest Destina-tion and Best City Hotel respec-tively last year.Cape Town was also the WWF

Earth Hour Capital in 2014, Du-miny says.“We believe that African Re-

sponsible Tourism Awards willshine the spotlight on this impor-tant stream of tourism and re-ward those who are making a re-al difference in the destination,”he says.“We fully believe thatthere are many deserving candi-dates in Cape Town.”

Grid upgrades tobenefit suburbsMaitland and Kensington are setto benefit from The City of CapeTown’s electricity infrastructureupgrade.Other areas that will benefit in-

clude Gugulethu, Stikland, Brack-enfell, Kuils River and Durban-ville.As such, five capital projects

aiming to improve distribution ca-pacity and reliability are current-ly being implemented, and are onschedule for completion before theend of the 2014/’15 financial year.The biggest capital outlay was

required by Phase 2 of theKoebergRoad switching station upgrade.This upgrade will provide addi-tional reinforcement to the City’s132 kV network, which forms thebackbone of the electrical net-work.This project came in at a cost of

R137 245 797 and improves the reli-ability of supply within the west-ern portion of the city by replacingageing infrastructure and provid-ing greater transfer capacitieswithin the 132 kV backbone. “Thecurrent situation at Eskom dem-onstrates the consequences thatpoor asset management can haveon an electricity network. Ensur-ing that infrastructure is refur-bished or replaced before it be-comes unreliable is crucial to se-curing electricity supply for ourcustomers,’ said the City’s Mayor-al Committee Member for Utility

Services, Ernest Sonnenberg.“Planning now so that there is

sufficient capacity to meet de-mand is very important if wewantthe city’s economy to grow opti-mally. It is not only important tosecure the power supply for com-mercial and industrial expansion,as is the aim in Stikland, but alsoto provide capacity for subsidisedhousing developments, as is theaim in Gugulethu.“The majority of the capacity

created by the Gugulethu mainstation upgrade will be filled bysubsidised housing developments,empowering those who were eco-nomically marginalised by theapartheid system.The City’s Electricity Services

Department, was recently recog-nised when it was awarded thehighly prestigious ISO 55000 certi-fication – with the department be-ing the first entity in South Africaand the second across the conti-nent to be awarded this recogni-tion. ISO 55000 is an internationalaccreditation for asset manage-ment best practice, and serves asconfirmation that the City’s elec-tricity assets are managed in ac-cordancewith the highest possiblestandards globally.

BEN BURGER

A teacher and a plumber from the South-ern Suburbs are making waves on theFlying Fish Beach Volleyball Series.

Antonio Rossouw (33) from Elfindale andDean Layters (22) from Ocean View, haveformed a beach volleyball partnership thatis taking on the big guns in the national Fly-ing Fish Beach Volleyball Series.

The second tournament in the series tookplace at the University of Cape Town (UCT)and Camps Bay over the past weekend.

On Friday after the first day’s round robinmatches, Rossouw and Layters had only lostone match and were second on the log, be-hind the first seeds and eventual winners ofthe tournament, Grant Goldschmidt andJerome Fredericks.

“I started playing indoor volleyball in 1999when I was still at school in Mitchell’sPlain,” says Rossouw, who is a teacher at StAnthony’s Roman Catholic Primary Schoolin Heathfield.

He is married to Tercia, a former volley-ball player and they have a daughter, Ju-liana (2).

“The indoor season is very short andwhensummer came, I hadno sport, so I progressedto beach volleyball,’ he says.

It is much the same for Layters, who is abachelor. “I also progressed from indoor vol-leyball to beach volleyball to keep playingthe sport all year round,” he says.

Rossouw stopped playing for some time,but when he decided to play again he metLayters at the University of the WesternCape (UWC) where they were both playingand decided to form a team for the FlyingFish Beach Volleyball Series.

“This (UCT) is only our second tourna-ment together as a team, but we are develop-ing our style of playing and want to stay to-gether for the entire series,” says Rossouw.

According to him, beach volleyball stillhas a long way to go in South Africa beforethe majority of players can become profes-sional and make a living out of it. “It is won-derful that Flying Fish sponsors this series,butweasplayers still hold a full-time joband

the only way we will be able to make a livingas players, is to get personal sponsorships,”says Rossouw.

Layters has his eye on the Olympics. “Iwould love to represent our country at theOlympicGames in thenot so distant future,”he says. “But it is going to take lots of hardwork.” Rossouw says training involves lots

of gym work and practise on the beach.“Dean and I regularly meet on the beach

where we practise our drills and do lots ofexercises andwealso go to gymoften toworkon our strength and do cardio-vascular exer-cises. It is hard work ... but we love it andhope to play for many years to come,” hesays.

The beach is their playground
