Patients claim they are forced to put up with “rude staff”, long lines, unfair treatment and on most occasions, find themselves leav- ing the hospital “unsatisfied”. Kensington resident Kamiella Alexander is furious after engaging in a heated row with staff at the hospital recently. Alexander regularly collects her husband’s chronic medication at the hospital, but earli- er this month she was forced to wait for near- ly eight hours and still left without the pre- scribed tablets. “I was there before the doors even opened and when I noticed the way people were being treated, I raised the matter with one of the staff members. They told me to keep quiet and sit down before they throw my file at the bot- tom of the pile,” she says. She became even more irritated when an- other patient, whom she claims just entered the facility, walked up to the counter and was served immediately by one of the nurses. Alexander says she also witnessed another patient being ill treated, her file thrown to the bottom of the pile and insulted in front of a packed waiting room. “This cannot be right; these people are treating us like animals. I think they treat us like that because people get their medication for free at the facility. That is not the way you treat a human being. Everybody is to blame at that facility,” says an outraged Alexander. Factreton resident Eugene Thomas has cancer and collects his medication on a monthly basis at the hospital. However, Thomas sums up his experience at the hospital as a “nightmare”. “I hate going to collect tablets and if I did not really need this in order to survive, I would just leave it there. Getting these tablets is like saying let’s climb Table Mountain in five minutes,” he says. He once spent nearly 10 hours at the hospi- tal, without a nurse or doctor even approach- ing to ask about his wellbeing. “This must be one of the worst hospitals in Cape Town, because the staff is rude. They treat you like nothing and they embarrass you in front of everybody,” he says. Mariam Oliver, the secretary for the Ken- sington Factreton Ratepayers and Residents Association, regularly attends health com- mittee meetings at the end of each month and is aware of patients’ frustrations. “We are aware of the problems around the facility, but we need the people to come for- ward and back the health committee,” she says. Oliver explains that a shortage of doctors at the facility is also another concern. “For the ratio of people that the facility has, there are supposed to be two doctors, but there is only one and sometimes no doctors,” she says. Siyabonga Mahomba, the communications officer at Kensington Day Hospital, explains that the provincial health department inves- tigates all complaints that are registered via its Complaints and Compliments System. All Community Health Centres are equipped with these complaints and compliments box- es, where patients are allowed to have their say. However, Mahomba confirms that there has been “no specific complaints” about the Kensington Day Hospital. “All complaints received are regarded as serious and recorded in the complaints regis- ter, maintained by all facilities,” she says. She encourages patients to also directly ap- proach the facility’s manager and present de- tails and other specifics of a particular inci- dent. Oliver encourages all residents to attend the health committee meetings which take place on the last Thursday of each month at the Kensington library at 10:00. “Residents will have the perfect platform to lodge complaints so that they can be forward- ed to the right authorities,” she says.

Spring Queen in 1985, became emotionalwhile looking at her photo on her specialnight.“Seeing this exhibition was breathtak-
ing,” she said as she wiped tears from hercheeks.“That was one of the best days ofmy life.
I seemyself as an ordinary Cape Town girland to see how my life has turned outmakes me very proud.”Lumka Vumendlini (20), who was
crowned in November, also attended theopening.Local clothes designer Shakur Olla
questioned the way forward for the SouthAfrican clothing industry. “Many changesstill need to be made so that workers inthis industry can benefit,” he said at theevent opening. “If we rightfully acknowl-edge our women, they can become abso-lutely brilliant. If America can cater to aworldwide market, so can we.”The exhibition runs until Tuesday 26

VACANT State-owned land inMaitland has fallen into neglectamid fears by residents that itwill be used by vagrants.
The land, located on the cornersofRoyal andStation roads, is ownedby the Provincial Department ofTransport and Public Works.Communications Officer for the
Western Cape Government Trans-port and PublicWorksDepartment,Al-Ameen Kafaar, explains that thedepartment is currently in the proc-ess of disposing of the property.“We are fully aware of the prob-
lems at the site and we would liketo get this land off our portfolio,” hesays.Kafaar says the department is
looking to transfer the land to an-other department within provin-cial government in order for it to be“properly managed”.Kafaar could not provide any
timeframes in which the transferwill take place.“We are not sure how long this
process will take, but we are work-ing on the matter,” Kafaar adds.Royal Road residents breathed a
sighof reliefwhenagroupof nearly50 squatters were asked to pack uptheir belongings and vacate theproperty on Thursday.One resident, who chose to re-
main anonymous, explains that thedrama unfolded when the squatterswere removed from a derelictcreche situated close to the RoyalRoadRecreational Park by develop-ers.
The creche is on the State-ownedland in question.She adds that the developer load-
ed up the squatters and intended todrop them off on the vacant patchof land opposite Maitland HighSchool.“When I arrived at home, I saw
the police and Anti Land InvasionUnit busy dealing with the squat-ters and when I went closer, I gotthe full story,” the concerned resi-dent says.She says that thedevelopers,who
were busy excavating the rundowncreche, suggested that the squatterserect their shacks on the land.“It’s quite scary to know that peo-
ple can justwaltz into the communi-ty and set up (a home) whereverthey feel like living,” she says.Faried Omar, another concerned
Maitland resident, feared that thevacant land would be taken over bysquatters and Maitland would thenhave “its own shanty town”.In the past, Omar raised concerns
with council around the currentgroup of squatters on the land andsays he shudders at the thought ofthe numbers increasing.“We already have so many prob-
lems with the current bunch livingthere, so imagine adding another 10families? It would just be crazy,” hefumes.A frustrated Omar explains that
during last year, his home was bur-gled and possessions worth R5 000were stolen.Like a man on a mission, Omar
set out to find his stolen items anddiscovered them in the possessionof a vagrant claiming to live at the
Maitland vagrant issue persists
CONCERN: Residents fear that other squatters might set up homes on the land on the corners of Royal and Stationroads, which belongs to the provincial department of Transport and Public Works. Photo: Tauriq Hassen
settlement.“There are lots of things happening
there and although we understandthey do not live a luxurious lifestyle,they still cannot cause an inconven-ience to the rest of the community,” hesays.People’s Post questioned the depart-
ment around the recent incident at theland and attempted to gain further de-tails on the developers, but Kafaarcould not respond.

mous for safety reasons, is fed up with the ac-tivities at the house and even threatened to
burn the house down if council does not an-swer their cries for help.“I’m really sick of it now. It’s just getting
a bit too much. We repeatedly report thisbuilding to council and all they do is say theywill attend to the problems and never do so,”she says. “I’m so very close to just doing thejobmyself and setting the building alight, butall that will do is get me into trouble morethan anything else.”People’s Post previously reported on the
problems in the former Sunday school class-room (“‘Demolish derelict building’”, Peo-ple’s Post, 16 November 2012; “Housemust go,say residents”, People’s Post, 17 May 2011),which focused on the issues residents wereplagued with.Maitland Community Police Forum chair-
person and Village resident, Charnell Hen-dricks, is furious at the length of time being
taken by the City to resolve the issue.“We are faced with huge problems at this
building and yet council does not seem tocare. We are getting sick of reporting thisbuilding to council and they never seem tosort it out,” she says.Hendricks has witnessed a few incidents at
the house, but she feels that the youth usingthe premises as a hangout to abuse drugs isthe worst on the list of problems.“This house is easily accessible and any-
body can get in there. You always find thechildren inside that place and they are up tononsense. As long as that building stillstands, the problems will continue to hauntus,” she says.Executive director for Safety and Security
for the City of Cape Town, Richard Bosman,confirms that the building is currently beingattended to in terms of the City’s Problem
Buildings Bylaw 2010. However, he explainsthere are time frames attached to all the dif-ferent processes that must be adhered to inorder to solve the problems.“To have this building bricked up or fenced
in will not help because the criminals willstill find a way in, so the final solution willbe to have it demolished,” Bosman says.According to Bosman, the neighbouring
church plans to purchase the building andsurrounding land in the future. However, theprocess is currently still under discussion.He adds that the only measures currently
available to the City would be to have regularpatrols and remove all unsavoury charactersfrom the building.But Hendricks fumes: “That building is un-
safe and as far aswe know, they are currentlystill responsible for that land. We want it tobe thrown down, end of story.”

VIOLENT protests over service deliveryhave in recent months marred the politi-cal landscape.
People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habel-gaarn and Luzuko Zini took to the streets andasked readers if the violence is justified or itis a sign of desperation.
PeacePeace vsvsprotestsprotests
ONON POINT:POINT: Steve Fraser says while he doesn’tcondone violence, when people are hopelessthey get desperate. “If they can’t get their pointacross what other option do they have? Something needs to be done, but it all boils down toeducation of what is right and wrong.”
UNAUNACCEPTCCEPTABLE:ABLE: Stirling DamainHarris saysviolence is never justified. He feels people protest when they’ve lost patience. At that point,he says, there is no other way but violence. “Ifeel particularly sorry for the farmworkerswhowork in rain and sun, but get R50.”
NO VIOLENCE:NO VIOLENCE: Thelma Harris says violence isparticularly frustrating when protesters don’tthink of the inconvenience caused to others.“If you take the farm workers: when they goback to work the property is broken. It’s unfairtowards themselves and the farmers.”
ELECTELECT LEADERS:LEADERS: Taariq Samuels says: “That’stheir way of getting what they want, but it doesnot always go their way. Protesters shouldelect someone to speak on their behalf to thepeople, company or government they have issues with so that things can be resolved.”
NOTNOT IDEAL:IDEAL: KayLeigh Meistre believes protesting is a way for protesters to get attention,but believes violence is not the way. “Protesters need to speak up and voice their concernsinstead of being violent. Violence has neversolved anything but only makes things worse.”
UNJUST:UNJUST: Andiswa Sam says violence is not theway as it only makes things worse. “Violenceis not a sign of desperation, but an opportunity(for some people) to ruin what has alreadybeen done for them. The only way to go forwardis to address their issues in a civilised way.”
OTHEROTHER MEANS:MEANS: Zach Simpson believes thereare other ways of dealing with the protesters’concerns. “The violence may be a sign of desperation, but there is no need for it. They shoulduse peaceful methods of protest that haveserved this and other countries well.”

A DISTRICT SIX school will spend thewhole of 2013 celebrating 100 years of“making a difference”.
Rahmaniyeh Primary School has taughtlearners from various communities such asWoodstock, Salt River, Walmer Estate, Mow-bray, Bo-Kaap, Sea Point, Kensington,Mitch-
ell’s Plain, Hanover Park.The school was originally known as Rah-
maniyeh Institute and was established in1913 by Dr Abdullah Abduraghman at 117 As-pelling Street in District Six.Principal Abdullah Rawoot is proud of the
school’s achievement, explaining that theschool has produced a number of distin-guished professionals including architects,builders, dentists, doctors, engineers, lectur-ers, teachers, sportsmen and sports adminis-trators.Rahmaniyeh Primary School is now the
oldest and longest standing Muslim school,not only the Western Cape, but in the wholeof South Africa.“I am indeed humbled and honoured to
serve as the head of the institution at sucha momentous and exciting time,” Rawootsays.In 1912,DrAbduraghman founded theMus-
lim Education Society (MES), which wasaimed at building a school for the Muslimchildren within the District Six community.The establishment of theMESwas facedwithsome stiff opposition from the Christian mis-sionaries at the time, who believed the MESposed a threat to the Christian missionaries.However, theMES came out tops, which re-
sulted in the formation of Rahmaniyeh Pri-mary School.When the building was purchased, it cost
200 pounds with alterations to convert thebuilding into a school costing another 200pounds and furniture 100 pounds.On 29 January 1913, Rahmaniyeh finally
opened their doors for the first time.Centenary celebrationswill include amou-
lood, maiden Umrah tour, high tea, golf day,reunion dinner, concert and a rugby derbybetween two old rivals, Callies and Stars rug-by clubs.Former student and Woodstock resident,
Achmat Wallace, attended the school duringthe 1970s and has much respect for the insti-tute that withstood the severe pressures ofthe apartheid.“It was really difficult for Muslim or Col-
oured people to find proper education thattime. This is one of those institutions thatcarried on teaching students, which is whyI have lots of respect for them,” he says.Wallace praised all involved in assisting
the school to reach one of its biggest mile-stones, but is saddened that mainstreamme-dia isn’t as excited about this landmark mo-ment.“If this was any other well-known institu-
tion, youwouldhave themediaworld all overthe story. But this is just another schoolreaching another number in a disadvantagedcommunity,” he says.“This school has a very rich history, which
speaks for itself and maybe others won’t findthat interesting, but I can proudly say I wasa part of that.”

ACHMAT EBRAHIMCITY MANAGER12/2013
THE roll out of new routes for theMyCi-Ti bus services will be delayed due to ob-jections.
New operating licences need to be award-ed by the Western Cape Provincial Regulat-ing Entity (PRE).
The process was delayed after a numberof objections were received by various con-cerned parties.
New routes, through areas such as Walm-er Estate and Salt River, along with the newsmaller buses and newly constructed busstops and stations, cannot operate withoutthese licences.
From the beginning of the process, the ap-plication, which is supported by the City,has followed the legal and procedural re-quirements set down by the PRE at alltimes.
The process began in August last yearwhen operating licences for the new routes,which were then due to launch at the endof 2012, were submitted.
The first hearing set by the PRE was forDecember, but the PRE postponed the hear-ing to this week due to objections from con-cerned parties.
The South African National Taxi Council(SANTACO) – on behalf of some taxi associ-
ations – and Golden Arrow Bus Services(GABS) lodged objections with the PRE.
The hearing resumed on Wednesday 16January at which time the PRE heard theapplicants’ full application for the requiredoperating licences.
Before theCity couldprovide its presenta-tion in support of the issuing of the licences,Golden Arrow raised procedural objec-tions, claiming to not have had sufficienttime to prepare for the hearing.
The hearing has now been delayed untilthe first week of February.
Mayoral Committee member for Trans-port, Roads and Stormwater, Brett Herron,
explains that the City is disappointed bythese delays, and that the process is holdingback the implementation of the publictransport service which aims to “benefit allpeople in Cape Town”. “They believe the ob-jections can be dealt with in a manner thatdoes not prejudice and inconvenience thepeople of Cape Town,” he says.
The City also trusts that this will be thefinal delay, and that they will be able to acti-vate their new routes and infrastructuresoon, in order to bring the “world-class My-CiTi bus service” to anevengreaternumberof awaiting residents and visitors, Herronadds.

Catch-22CIVIL society places certain expectations up-on a country’s legal system.So it is expected, for instance, that people
whom the courts find guilty end up in prison.There, it is hoped, offenders will serve the
required time for having been found guilty ofwhichever crime.Perhaps it is also hoped that they would
make amends and perhaps become reconcili-atory towards those whom they’ve offended.Many prisoners say they’ve found religionwhile in prison. If prison is hoped to be a cor-rective facility, what then can be said forcrimes taking place in prison?Fightswhichbrokeout inPollsmoorPrison
last week are reportedly as a result of at-tempts to control illegal itemswhichwere be-ing smuggled into the facility.A daily newspaper report indicates 10 in-
mateswere injured in two separate battles be-tween rival gangs. Five inmates were takento hospitals. The items in question are drugsand cellphones.While people on the “outside”may take cellphones for granted, drugs in aprison is understandably a dangerous combi-nation. Correctional Services regional com-missioner Delekile Klaas has reportedly toldthe media they were investigating whetherofficials could be working with inmates.Two rival gangs have are said to have been
separated,while gang leaders have been iden-tified and placed in another area.Many questions can be asked as to whether
prisons really serve a purpose. But in the ab-sence of any other recourse, correctional fa-cilities remain the only answer as to what todo with offenders and those who break thelaw. Research indicates many offenders, un-fortunately, return to prison. Some, becausethey see little way out than to survive by com-mitting crime. Others because their attemptsat reintegration into society are foiled as a re-sult of the mark against their name.Until we’ve walked a mile in a prisoner’s
shoes, who is to know? Perhaps crime neversleeps. Not even in prison.
StrStrikiking sing shouldhouldbe last resortbe last resortTHE wish has come true for whom-ever said: “Make the Western Capeungovernable”.I agree with and support the soli-
darity of the farm workers strikingfor a better wage, but I disagreewith burning farms, looting shopsand stoning cars on the N1.I served as a loyal shop steward
for the National Union of TextileWorkers.If we had to strike and down tools
for everywage negotiation the com-pany would have been forced toclose down and let over 2 000 work-ers go. What did we do differently?We had good union leaders who al-ways thought of the workers first.(There were) good and successfulnegotiations that never tarnishedthe relationship (between) shopstewards and the union, employersand employees.This strike action could turn out
to be successful, but the damagedone to the economy is irreversible.I blame the union who, togetherwith the farmworker leaders, ill ad-vised their members.Union leaders should have made
their intentions known before en-gaging in illegal industrial action.Theworkers could be out of pock-
et for a long timeuntil – and if – theydo come to an agreement on a wagesettlement backdated to the firstday of absence.The saddest part is that union
leaders never suffer loss of pay inany strike. I am not saying not tostrike, but that should be the last re-sort if negotiations fail and amica-ble solutions cannot remedy theproblem.ARTHUR PILLAY

Call for help is quietenedI’MSHOCKEDbecause today I sawone of theFNB adverts under the heading “You canhelp”.In it, KellyBaloyi, a 17-year-old fromSowe-
to, eloquently pinpoints not only the issuesfacing ournation, but also her idea for a solu-tion.She is not calling for student boycotts, pro-
test marches or strikes.She’s not calling for burning of municipal
buildings, looting of shops or destruction ofschools. She’s not calling for barricadingroads, burning tyres or the stoning of the po-lice.She’s not singing songs that call for a ma-chine gun or the destruction of white farm-ers. She is simply asking for people to helpeach other.She says: “When you help someone, you
lift them up.When you lift them up, they can
help other people, too.”So why am I shocked? I am shocked be-
cause FNB has bowed to pressure from theANC and the SACP and has now withdrawnthe advert. These two political parties be-lieve that this advert amounts to treason andundermines the government. This approachis reminiscent of the past apartheid govern-ment’s approach to those who opposed theirviews.No doubt FNB has realised that it needs to
heed (president) Jacob Zuma’s call, where hestated: “Business that support the ANC willprosper.”Perhaps they should rather look at some
of the statementsmade by (former president)NelsonMandela,who said: “Youwill achievemore in this world through acts of mercythan you will through acts of retribution.”ROGER WOOD

THE Fabulous SonSeawind Entertainerspulled off a fantasticperformance at thisyear’s Kaapse KlopseKarnaval Associationcompetition andwalked away from theVygieskraal Stadiumwith top honours.
Celebrating their25th anniversary, theFabulous Son SeawindEntertainers managed to gettheir hands on the coveted2013 Carnival Trophy, a prizeevery minstrel troupe dreamsof having in their possession.

Blackpool fallshort at homeLIAM MOSES
A POOR home track record continuedunabated for ASD Salt River Blackpoolwhen they dropped points the fifth timein six matches on Saturday.
Blackpool lost 2-1 to Peacemakers at UCTon Saturday, meaning that their homerecord now stands at four draws, one lossand a solitary win.
They have been a completely different sideaway from home, claiming three victoriesand a draw in their travels.
Dave Waters, the side’s assistant coach,felt his team’s inability to finish off moveswas to blame for the defeat.
“We started slowly and quite nervously,and then the players started to do what wasasked of them,” says Waters.
“I felt we eventually came into the gameand we were on top from the 15-minute mark.We held possession well and created oppor-tunities, but there was a lack of clinicalnessin the final third. I am happy with the defen-sive third and middle third; it’s just the endproduct that was missing today.”
The visitors took the lead in the 15thminute when Tabiso Gwaba fired passed thekeeper after being played into the box.
Blackpool had a clear-cut opportunity todraw level seven minutes later, when attack-ing midfielder Brandon Fernandez pushed
into space down the right flank and playedin a perfectly-placed ball.
Striker Luqmaan Davids soared above hismarker to meet the cross, but his header wasoff target.
Fernandez was influential throughout thefirst-half and he would have tied the scoresin the 45th minute, with a close-range strike,if not for an excellent save from the opposi-tion keeper.
The cultured attacker had another gilt-edged chance in the 10th minute of second-half, when Blackpool were awarded a penal-ty following a handball. However, he skiedhis shot high above the goal.
Fernandez was eventually rewarded forhis efforts in the 35th of the second-half,when his curling free kick from the edge ofthe box beat the keeper.
Peacemakers refused to settle for the drawand restored their lead the following minute,when Gwaba completed his brace with an-other low, angled shot from inside the box.
The result leaves Blackpool in sixth placeon 17 points, while Peacemakers have creptwithin touching distance of their latest op-position. Only goal difference keeps them ineighth.
Waters said his side would spend moretime working on their final passes and fin-ishing at training ahead of their encounteragainst Ida’s Valley FC in Stellenbosch onFriday.

Winning weekendfor SA hockeyJONATHAN COOK
SOUTH AFRICAN women’s hockey stal-ward Pietie Coetzee scored two goals tohelp InvestecSouthAfrica toa2-0winoverAustria in their final World League roundtwomatch at Hartleyvale Stadium on Sun-day.
SA went through to the World League semi-finals on Saturday when they beat Azerbaijan7-0 and Sunday’smatch had no bearing on thatoutcome.However, the host team still played to win
and the result was ensured by two sizzlingdrag-flick penalty corners from world recordgoal scorer Coetzee.The first goal came in the 10th minute after
BernieCoston’s pace down the right won South Af-
rica their first penalty corner and Coetzee ri-fled a flat astro-burner into the bottom of thebackboard.Six minutes later it was Shelley Russell’s
turn to use her pace and stick-ball control athigh speed to outflank her would-be tacklerand set up SA’s second penalty corner.
Coetzee aimed for the top shelf this time andbeat Austrian goalkeeper Jasmin Anderlewith ease.The double took Coetzee’s international tal-
ly to 258 goals in 258 test matches.Although SA dominated the rest of the
match, further successful strikes didn’t mate-rialise.South Africa’s pace on attack was one of the
most impressive aspects of their play, and for-wards Russell, Coston and Sulette Damonswere just three of the frontrunners whoburned their markers away.The second team to qualify for the World
League semi-finals were Belgium, who beatAzerbaijan 1-0 on Sunday.Fixtures for the third round will be an-
nounced when all second round fixtures arecompleted in March.The women in green and gold now focus
their attention on the prestigious InvestecChallenge, which also involves world numberone and 2012Olympic goldmedallists Holland,as well as England and Australia.The Investec Challenge kicks-off at Hartley-
vale onMonday 4 February and culminates inthe medal matches on Sunday 10 February.
