WOODSTOCK | MAITLAND

TAURIQ HASSEN

THERE MAY be some relief for embattledWoodstock residents weary of the un-checked drug demon in their community.A rehabilitation centre has been proposed

to occupy the premises of the former Wood-stock Day Hospital.Concerned residents approached the

Walmer Estate Residents Community Fo-rum for guidance on suitable venues for thedesired rehabilitation centre.After assessing the day hospital, these an-

ti-drug fighters became more keen to estab-lish a place of help for those stuck in theiraddictions.About 40 to 60 beds are planned.They desire only to use a portion of the

building.Moosa Sydow, the forum’s chairperson,

confirms they were consulted and hopes theproposal is made a reality.“We have consistently over the last few

years raised concerns about the lack of treat-ment and/or rehabilitation facilities for sub-stance abuse victims,” he says.Sydow accompanied the community-driv-

en residents on their tour of the hospital.The residents have now solidified their

plan of action with the forum, arranging fol-low-up meetings to keep momentum going.The director of the Cape TownDrug Coun-

selling Centre, Ashley Potts, suggested thatbefore the interested parties apply to use thebuilding, they should first make contactwith government and City officials to findout the challenges behind starting a rehabil-itation centre.“Running a rehab centre is not easy and

there are plenty of factors that need to be tak-en into consideration,” he says.“The type of centre, in or out patient, the

area chosen for the centre and the communi-ty’s responses are just some of the factorsthat need to be noted.”Potts confirms that tik, dagga and heroin

are three of the most popular drugs in thecity. “The reality is that the patient or addictsometimes presents their drug of choice, butthey can easily be hooked on to somethingelse, which sometimes makes it very diffi-cult to tell,” Potts says.However, he believes that establishing a

rehabilitation centre at the source of the so-cial evil doesn’t make a recipe for success.“We can vouch for the fact that drugs are

not only a problem in a specific area, but itis a problem across the Western Cape,” hesays.The idea of a rehabilitation centre has

found favourable roots with residents.Yusri Adams regularly struggled with his

younger addict brother and was eventuallyforced to send him to a cost effective rehabil-itation centre outside Cape Town.“You find rehab centres, but they are ex-

pensive and I needed help desperately. If wehad a facility that is in our area that wouldnot cost us a fortune, it would be highly ap-preciated,” he says. “It’s no secret that thisarea has a huge substance abuse problem.Sobringing ina rehabcentrewouldnot actu-ally be a bad idea at all.”Resident Selena Francis gives the notion

two thumbs up but insists all the proper pro-cedures must be followed.“You hear plenty of stories every day

about rehab centres. It really is not a badidea, but later down the line, we don’t wantproblems,” Francis says.“If the area is in need of it and it’s going

to benefit the people, then why not?”Woodstock Day Hospital operations will

relocate in 2015 to the new R60 million Dis-trict Six Community Day Centre, which iscurrently under construction.Spokesperson for the provincial health de-

partment, Faiza Steyn, explains that oncethe relocation takes effect, the building willbe handed over to the provincial departmentof Transport and Public Works to act as cus-todian.

IT IS 18 days into the national bus strike andthe train andmain routes remain persistentlycongested.No consensus has yet been reached between

bus drivers and their employers, and there isno end in sight to the strike.Richard Bosman, the City of Cape Town’s

head of Safety and Security, says traffic con-gestion has increased since the start of themass action more than two weeks ago.“My staff have indicated there has been an

increase of between 25% and 30% traffic onthe main routes of the R27, the N1 and N2,”Bosman says.About 200 000GoldenArrowcommuters are

being affected by the strike.Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott says

the rail service transports about 16 000 ad-ditional commuters daily.All 47 MyCiTi buses, which stopped run-

ning last Friday, remain stationary.GaryWilson, the secretary-general of the

South African Road Passenger BargainingCouncil, said a new proposal had been con-veyed to all the relevant parties. He wouldnot elaborate on the content.But Satawu spokesperson Vincent Ma-

soga said the proposition had been rejectedand the strike would continue.Barry Gie, from the Commuters Bus Em-

ployers’ Organisation and the spokesper-son of the employers, said they are con-cerned about the impact the strike is hav-ing and is aiming to resolve the matterspeedily.“We cannot offer the double-figure in-

crease,” he said.Anele Mpalala, a taxi driver with a route

between Philippi and Cape Town, said heis not really benefiting from the strike.“I am not transporting more people. It’s

basically just onemore trip for each driver.“Thebus commuters are opting touse the

train.”Since the start of the strike, some busi-

nesses have indicated theyhadnot yet beenhit hard by it.Fred Jacobs, the president of the Cape

TownChamber of Commerce and Industry,said a survey had found that eight of the15 members polled said they had not beenoverly adversely affected by the action.Thememberswere also questionedabout

their workers’ attendance.“Twoof the 15 said theywerenot affected,

while the remainder indicated their work-ers do arrive late. The employers have beenorganising transport for their staff.”They were also asked about staff produc-

tivity.“Eight companies said they had to ask

their employees to work over weekendsand extra hours. In some cases, manage-ment collected their workers themselves.”

MEMORIES of District Six is a new seriesof conversations that will be held at theHomecoming Centre in Buitenkant Streetonce a month.Guests will be able to meet some of the

people who were an integral part of theDistrict Six landscape and enjoy their col-ourful memories.District Sixwas home to a host of talent-

ed people and through the museum art-

ists, musicians, poets, writers and aca-demicswill share theirmemories over teaand koeksisters.The first event in the series takes place

on Saturday 11 May. The talk will featureartist Sandra McGregor, known fondly as“Onse artist of District Six”. Her paint-ings vividly recorded the life, the peopleand the forced removals from 1962 to 1980,both before and after the declaration.

She witnessed the removals and thebreakdown of a life and community thatshe had grown to love. Her story simulta-neously inspiring and tragic.Living alone and desperately short of

money, Sandra often sold her works oncompletion just to survive, or simply gavethem away. Now in her 80s and living inVredehoek, Sandra will be in conversa-tion with Nancy Richards at a special teaat the Homecoming Centre.The talk starts at 14:00. Entrance fee is

R50which includes coffee or tea and koek-sisters. Phone 0 (021) 466 7200.

THE FUTURE looks bleak for 13families livingonanextendedplotwhich forms part of the MaitlandCemetery.Burial space at the Maitland

Cemetery is at a premium, forcingthe City of Cape Town to considerusing the space onwhich the fami-lies have been squatting for years.Mayoral Committee member

for Human Settlements, TandekaGqada, confirms that the “leasedsite is urgently needed” as thenumber of burial spaces dwindle.She explains that in 2007, the

City had leased the land from thePassenger Rail Agency of SouthAfrica (PRASA) to “temporarilyaccommodate” families displacedby a fire.“These families had been living

under a bridge at the time. Thiswas only a temporary measure,”she says.The residents say the City in-

formed them new homes are wait-ing for them in Bardale, Mfuleni.They would then join their formerneighbours from Peace AccordCamp, found opposite the site (“Housinghassles”, People’s Post, 16 April).The plots available have working toilets,

water standpipes and electricity. The sitesalso have the added advantage that the oc-cupants will be given permanent tenure.“Many public engagements were under-

taken with the community at Maitland tofamiliarise the people with the plannedmove and the benefits of moving to Bard-ale,” Gqada says.In March, the City once again present

each family squatting on the land the oppor-tunity to relocate.However, the families are up in arms and

refuse to be moved from the area.Tony Ruthenberg (57) and the rest of his

family have been living inside a small aban-doned substation on

to survive,” he says.Xalipi has already embarked on a fact-

finding mission to tackle City officials.“These people are refusing to move. I do

not blame them. We do not want to hearabout the land being used for the extensionof the cemetery,” he says. “Theymust comeout andmake sure these people have a prop-er place to stay. End of story.”Xalipi adds that several families that relo-

cated to Bardale last year have already re-turnedwith the intentionof settingupcampinside the Maitland Cemetery.“These people have heard plenty of sto-

ries. They heard people have abandonedtheir properties or sold them off. Theyheard of people being arrested for doing thisand how people are struggling there. Thisis making them worry,” Xalipi says.

Bye-byeBye-byeholidays?holidays?SSOUTH AFRICANS face the possibility

of having fewer mid-week breaks andlong weekends.

A government task team has reportedlybeen set up to investigate a possible reduc-tion in the number of public holidays. Thisis after some religious groups said the SouthAfrican calendar was discriminatingagainst them.Some of the holidays that could be

scrapped include Day of Reconciliation, Dayof Goodwill and Family Day.People’s Post polled readers for their

thoughts on the possibility of having fewerpublic holidays.

ZZANDILEANDILE MAMAQHOQHOSHASHA says public holidays bringpeople from different backgrounds together.“Every holiday has a meaning attached to it andmore holidays should be added to accommodateother religions instead of scrapping a few.”

TTAASMEEDSMEED ABRABRAHAMSAHAMS agrees that more holidaysshould be added to honour other religious groups.“No holiday should be scrapped, but every reli-gious holidays should be celebrated as we havemore than one religion in our country.”

LINSDAY CLINSDAY CAMERAMERON-DOWON-DOW says all religions shouldbe taken into account due to our cultural diversity.“All religions are important and every religionshould benefit from the holiday. They shouldn’treduce the holidays, but they can add more.”

NICKNICK OLIVIEROLIVIER says the issue is a controversial oneand many people will disagree. “There are a fewholidays I think should be reconsidered. But thosedays also have history attached to them and ifI name them I might upset a few people.”

JJADE JADE JANSENANSEN says more holidays should be add-ed. “It is only fair that other religious celebrationsbe recognised as holidays. But none of the exist-ing holidays should be taken away as they havea history that comes with them.”

WWAAYDONYDON WEBERWEBER says religious holidays are im-portant. “No public holiday should be scrappedbecause they are all significant. Instead, they canadd more holidays to accommodate other reli-gious groups.”

YENTL KYENTL KOHLEROHLER says every holiday is significant.“It is not just a random day off. We live in a diversecountry with different cultures. It will be good ifother cultures and religious holidays are also em-braced.”

TAURIQ HASSEN AND NICOLE MCCAIN

RADIO 786 claims it narrowly missed beingswindled of almost R2m by a former boardmember.

According to Ali Chicktay, an executivecommittee member of Radio 786, Mogam-mad de Vries, the former chairperson of theIslamic Unity Convention (IUC) – underwhich the committee falls – was replaced af-ter a vote of no confidence in September2011.

Chicktay says that in early January thisyear, De Vries sent a letter to the invest-ment company holding a beneficiary ac-count for Radio 786, “pretending that he wasstill the chairperson of the IUC”.

Chicktay declined to name the invest-ment company for fear of “causing negativepublicity”. The radio station has an invest-ment account, from which it can transferfunds into a current account, or beneficiaryaccount, belonging to Radio 786.

The letter, which Chicktay says was on an“IUC letterhead, (with) changed addressand telephone numbers on it”, requestedthat De Vries and an associate be named thenew signatories, and “changed the benefici-ary account, which was always the Radio786 account” from the station’s current ac-count, Chicktay says.

The committee discovered the changesabout three weeks ago when they contactedthe investment company to obtain a report,he says. “At that point the company in-formed us the current signatories to the Ra-dio 786 investment account were no longersignatories to the account on the basis thatDe Vries had written to them in early Janu-ary that the signatories and beneficiarybank account must be changed,” Chicktaysays. “Fortunately, no monies were with-drawn or transferred from the investmentaccount. The account has, however, beenfrozen by the investment company.”

De Vries, however, counters that the ac-cusations “are all lies”.

He says he still held the position of chair-person in January, as the September meet-ing had been unconstitutional and the votehad taken place in his absence.

However, according to Chicktay, com-plete protocol was followed and an officerof the court presided over the meeting.

“I was mandated to do it by the commit-tee, and the mandate and resolution weregiven to the bank,” say De Vries.

Chicktay responded, saying: “What com-mittee? He was booted out in 2011 (and) hasdone no work for the IUC since.”

While the matter is being attended to, thestation’s investment account has been fro-zen, leaving Radio 786 to tighten their belts.The investment account is kept in reservefor future development and for unexpectedcosts, such as legal fees. The station’s cur-rent account, the original beneficiary ac-count, is still operational and is used to paysalaries and day-to-day expenses. “We man-aged to pay salaries at the end of April, butit wasn’t easy,” Chicktay says.

Radio 786 is mired in a costly legal battleabout an Independent Communications Au-thority of South Africa (Icasa) complainthearing involving the South African Jew-ish Board of Deputies and the IUC.

“This situation can have dire conse-quences for our cash flow and meeting ourmonthly expenses, including staff salariesand contributions to their provident funds.Funds will also be required for the continu-ation of the Icasa hearing coming up shortlyas well as some capital expenditure we wereintending to make.”

Chicktay says no criminal charges will bepressed. “Because this situation arose as aresult of an internal dispute and no moneyhas been lost, our only intention currentlywould be to regain control of the investmentaccount.”

Purple machine claim first victoryLIAM MOSES

RETREAT RFC scored a crushing victo-ry over neighbours Peninsula RFC ina WP Division Three derby at the Al-

lenby Road Sports Complex on Saturday.The home side ran in five tries without

conceding a single point towin the game 29-0and avenge their defeat away to Peninsulain last season’s final game.The victory is Retreat’s first of the season,

after a draw and two losses in their firstthree games. Retreat head coach AnthonyAmalcin said it was “satisfying” to claimtheir first win against their arch rivals.“We have been training so hard this week.

We are right at the bottom and we are hold-ing up the log. It was very satisfying to winin that manner,” he said.“The guys believed what I have been say-

ing to them at training – it showed today.Weneed to justmove forward and continue. Theguys came to the party and the camaraderieamongst them today was good.”The first 25minutes of the encounter were

scrappy and the both sides lined-up kicks atgoal without scoring.The deadlock was eventually broken in

the 27th minute when right wing GerrardJohnson touched down to score the first andonly points of the first-half.Retreat scored their second try around

five minutes after the break, when hookerRoger Solomans touched down under theposts.The third try came in the seventh minute,

through lock Freddie Nichols, and scrum-half Donnie Petersen scored twice midwaythrough the half and in the final minute ofthe game. LorenzoGordon converted both ofthe final tries to hammer the final nail intothe coffin.Amalcin says he will be looking for his

players to step up to another levelwhen theyface Temperance, in another derby, at homeon Saturday 11 May.“I’m still not happybecause theydid about

80% of what was asked of them – the gameplan that we put out today,” he says.“The other 20% was just that they needed

to focus and they showed some ill-disciplineby talking to the referee.”Amalcin adds Retreat is more determined

than ever to make this season a successfulone, as the club is celebrating its 115th anni-versary in August.

“I can only say (we will be successful) ifthe guys are committed to training and ourcause, because we are celebrating our 115thanniversary this year and we are looking toget higher honours.”“But we will take it one day at a time.

Nothing has been won yet – we did what wehad to do and we can only improve on it.”

. Meanwhile in Super League A on Satur-day, UCT pulled off an impressive 21-13 vic-tory over theMaties at home in their biggestderby of the season.

Bluebells backon the fieldLIAM MOSES

BLUEBELLS AFC played their first football matches of theseason on Saturday after their suspension was lifted by theCape District Local Football Association (CDLFA).TheWynberg club won a R81 000 lawsuit against CDLFA

in December, but were subsequently indefinitely suspend-ed from all football in February for breaching the organisa-tion’s constitution for taking legal action.Bluebells were also banned from entering William Her-

bert Sports Grounds in Wynberg by the venue’s MunicipalField Management Committee after protesting at thegrounds on Saturday 16 March.However, the matter between the organisation and the

club has now been settled out of court, after the CDLFAgeneral council ratified the details of the settlement agree-ment on Wednesday 24 March.Club chairperson Rashied Cloete says the club is happy

to be back at Cape District and on the field.“We are relieved because we wanted our juniors to play.

The CDLFA wanted the same,” he says.“We are satisfied, happy and relieved that it has come

to an end. We are happy that we had a committee to speakto and that we were able to put our case forward.”Bluebells sued the CDLFA in September 2011 after failing

to win a tender to run the tearoom and cafe atWilliamHer-bert in 2010, alleging that the tender process was flawed.After finding in Bluebells’ favour, the Wynberg Magis-

trate’s Court also served awarrant of execution against CD-FLA’s property in February and the club was suspendedtwo days later. Bluebells failed in their initial attempts tohave the suspension overturned and then met with a CDL-FA committee a week after the protest.The LFA’s executive committee subsequently met with

the delegation that engaged with Bluebells and the agree-ment was voted by the Cape District general council.Cloete says the club has instructed its attorney to drop

the case, as per the details of the agreement.However, he refused to list what Bluebells would receive

as part of the agreement. He says the agreement prohibitsthe club from giving any specific details to the media.Winston Engledoe, president of Cape District LFA, also

refused to comment on the matter.

Challenge to show off city landmarksLIAM MOSES

MORE than 4 000 walkers and runnersof every ability level are expected tofill the streets of Cape Town for the

third annual Jive Slave Route Challenge onSunday. The event will again be hosted byLion of Africa Itheko Sport Athletic Club,one of the largest running clubs in South Af-rica.People’s Post is the printmedia sponsorfor the second year.The Challenge features a half marathon,

10km fun run, 5km fun run and 10km walk,over courses which take participants pastsome of Cape Town’s most historic sites.Donny Jurgens of the City of Cape Town’s

department of sport and recreation, saysthey chose to partner with Itheko because

the race’s uniqueness.“The Jive Slave Route Challenge is not an

event in which you are likely to make yourpersonal best. This is not a race for the fastand the furious,” he says.“This is not to attract the top Ethiopians

to come and run in our city. This is a differ-ent kindof race.Ourdepartment isnot aboutpersonal bests; our department is about cele-brating life, celebrating culture, celebratinghistory and celebrating the fact that peoplefrom all walks of life and all shapes and sizesparticipate in a mass running event.”The race will start in Darling Street, be-

tween the Grand Parade and City Hall, be-fore winding its way around the City Bowl.Some of the landmarks passed along the

way to the finish line include St Mark’s

Church and Aspeling Mosque in DistrictSix, the Hurling Swinging Pump in Gardensand the South Africa Jewish Museum andParliament in Government Avenue.Runners will also pass through the Castle

ofGoodHope, for only the second time inhis-tory, just minutes after a miniature cannon– replacing the start gun – sends them off.This year runners will also have another

reason to participate, as the Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital Trust has been confirmed asthe official beneficiary.Sean Burton, marketing manager of Qual-

ity Beverages, the producers of Jive, urgesall participants to donate to the Trust.“The Trust is really close to us – as a com-

pany, we have been supporting them foryears. We specifically target most of our ini-

tiatives at the youth market,” says Burton.“Wehaven’t confirmed an amount yet, but

we have also offered the Trust as an officialbeneficiary for runners to donate. We are al-so asking that all participants get involvedby donating some funds. There has been talkof sponsoring rand-for-rand value, but wehaven’t really confirmed that.”Anyone interested in entering can do so

on the first floor of City Hall on Friday 10May from 16:00 until 20:00, from 10:00 until17:00 on Saturday 11 May and from 05:30 un-til 08:15 on race day.The half marathon will start at 07:00 and

the final event, the 10km walk, will start at08:15.V To view a video of last year’s Jive Slave Route Chal-lenge visit www.peoplespost.co.za.
