A R400 000 upgrade is planned forthe Kuku Town informal settle-ment in Kensington.The 20 families at the 14th Street

shacklandwill later thismonth seebasic service installation and re-blocking, which is a community-based process whereby housingstructures are reorganised or clus-tered in such amanner to decreasethe extreme density in informalsettlements, explains MayoralCommittee member for HumanSettlements Tandeka Gqada.“This is vital for improving ac-

cess by emergency and other vehi-cles, having safe spaces betweenstructures, improving service de-livery and creating a sense ofneighbourliness where childrencan play safely and residents areable to keep a watchful eye on pub-lic spaces,” she says.“As this policy is based on a part-

nership between the City, the com-munity as well as community or-ganisations and non-profit organi-sations, reblocking can only beimplemented on the final word andgo-ahead from the community.”Kuku Town resident Lydia Rad-

loff says the reblocking will makethe informal settlement safer, andgive residentsmore space and free-dom.“Our houses are small and close

together. There are rats; and ourhomes are close to the boundary ofthe ratepayers’ houses. Having ourhomes so close together is also aconcern in case a fire breaks out –it just spreads through all thebuildings,” she says.Residents will also receive indi-

vidual sanitation andwater servic-es, thus no longer requiring thecurrent shared use of one toilet tofive households and one tap per 25households, Gqada says.Electricity supply to each struc-

ture is already provided.The settlement currently has

two taps and four toilets, Radloffsays.“It will be good to have our own

space, as well as our own toiletsand taps. We now have to walk farto a toilet,” she says.Kuku Town informal settlement

is one of five informal settlementsselected as a pilot project for re-blocking, Gqada explains.“Kuku Town was selected to

highlight and showcase the suc-cesses achieved with reblockingwhen the communities takeowner-ship and responsibly for their sur-

roundings with the support of theCity and its partners. It is the aimof the City and its partners to turnKuku Town into a well-planned,well-serviced and dignified settle-ment which will also improve thelivelihood of the residents,” shesays.However, community leader

Jimmy Xalipi says he is concernedthe upgrade to only one of the fourinformal settlements in the areamight anger other informal resi-dents.He says other settlements, such

as the one in Royal Road, are inmore dire need of services.“The people at the Royal Road

settlement don’t have toilets andhave to use buckets. They alsodon’t have electricity. I don’t wantviolence to break out in the areaover the upgrade,” he says.However, Radloff says the com-

munity has stepped up tomake theproject happen.“We’re all saving to putmoney to

fireproof our houses. We don’twant to live for free,” she says.The houses are provided by the In-

formal Settlement Network, anNGOwhichpays for 90%of the costof the house, explains acting KukuTown Committee chairperson Ve-rona Joseph. This leaves residentsto raise the other 10%, whichequates to about R700.Joseph adds that the settlement

was chosen due to its small size,which makes it perfect for a pilotproject.Gqada says residents are not ex-

pected to contribute towards theservices as this will be funded bythe City.

TINA BURGER ANDTASMIN CUPIDO

Think two beers at a wateringhole still leaves you perfectlycapable of driving?

That extra cold one could lead toyou spending six years in the slam-mer or over R100 000 poorer.As the silly season approaches,

Law Enforcement and Traffic Serv-ices are out in full force in an at-tempt to keep the streets safe andfree of drunk drivers.In a bid to reduce the road car-

nage, a call has beenmade to reducethe alcohol limit in line with inter-national standards.

One drink too manyThe legal limit in SouthAfrica for

breath alcohol content is 0.24mg per 1 000mlor a blood alcohol limit of 0.05g per 100ml.In literal terms, this equals two thirds of

a beer or spirit cooler with 5% alcohol con-tent; 75ml of red orwhitewine perhourwithan alcohol content of 12% to 14%; and up toone 25ml tot of alcohol per hour for whiskeyor brandy drinkers.Two drinks in one hour will more than

likely put you over the legal limit.The Automobile Association of South Af-

rica (AA) continues to lobby for the bloodalcohol concentration limit be brought inline with world standards, says spokesper-son Graeme Scala.“The crisis on South Africa’s roads de-

mands a tougher approach. The AA has forsome time proposed that the 0.05% limit bereduced to 0.02%,” he says.“This allows some leeway formedications

that contain alcohol, but still emphasises

that one alcoholic drink puts you over thelimit. A blood alcohol limit of 0.02% meansthat drinking even one beerwith 4%alcoholper volume will put an individual over thelimit.”Should you be caught driving under the

influence of alcohol you could face up to sixyears in prison or be slapped with a fine ofup to R120 000.

A lesson learntTwo years of court appearances and thou-

sands in legal fees taught one driver to steerclear of taking to the road after hitting thebottle.The man, who was arrested for driving

under the influence three years ago, says hedrove into a roadblock after leaving a party.After initial questioning, he was asked to

step out of his vehicle. “The officer instruct-ed me to phone someone to collect my car

as I would need to accompany them toa testing centre for blood samples. Ispent that night in the holding cells ata police station,” he recalls.The next day he made his first of

many court appearances.“Over the next two years I had a

court appearance each month; witheach appearance the lawyer I appoint-ed charged up to R1 500,” he says.“The casewas postponed for several

reasons, including a delay in the re-sults of the blood tests, as well as achange in the state prosecutor.”The case was finally closed and he

was sentenced to 250 hours of commu-nity service. “I am still doing the timefor my unnecessary actions; it issomething I will never subject myselfor my family to again,” he says. “Thiswas not only an expensive eye-opener

for me, but also for my friends and family.”Scala says evidentiary breathalyser

printouts are admissible as evidence incourt. “If jail terms were handed down fordrinking and driving, the public would be-come more sensitised to the issue,” he says.“Drivers who ensure they are sober will

have nothing to fear, but those who drinkwill be removed from the roads before theycan cause harm.”

Think before you drinkTraffic Services spokesperson Richard

Coleman says every driver has a responsi-bility when they drink alcohol and plan todrive.“If you have used any substance which

could affect your driving ability, let some-onewhohasnothadadrinkdriveyourvehi-cle. If no one is available, call a lift servicecompany,” he urges.

SEC Notice Number: 013016DEA&DP Reference Number: 14/2/1/A7/13/Erf 117870, Maitland

The applicant, Ross Excavations (Pty) Ltd, is proposing to establish a permanent building rubble crushing plant, including some three crushers,sorting screens, feedstock and crushed aggregate stockpiles, at their head office premises on Erf 117870, Maitland.

Council has embarked on a process to namethe six footbridges crossing the N2 highway.However, not all residents believe the mon-ey involved is being well spent.The public participation process will run

the entire month, allowing residents to sub-mit names for the footbridges crossing Nel-sonMandela Boulevard betweenWoodstockand Walmer Estate.The process is part of a broader initiative

to rename key streets across the city as partof reconciliation and redress, says namingcommittee chairperson Brett Herron.The City of Cape Town was unable to im-

mediately confirm the expected cost of theproject.However, with numerous safety issues

linked to the bridges such as vagrancy andcrime, some residents feel the cash shouldinstead be used to secure the walkways.FadeliahAppels lives next to theCoventry

Road footbridge, which has been cited as asafety concern and is due to have securityfencing completed around the site.“It’s going to be costly and unnecessary.

Council needs to secure the areas under thefootbridges against vagrants, remove the lit-ter and prevent dumping,” she says.Walmer Estate Community Residents’ Fo-

rum chairperson Moosa Sydow echoes this.“It’s a waste of money and time. The mon-

ey should rather go into service delivery.Our streets need cleaning and potholes needfixing. Besides, the community knows thenames of the bridges – we name them afterthe street they are in,” he says.Herron believes naming the footbridges

and allowing the community to have inputon this will give them a sense of pride and

belonging.Woodstock Improvement District

project manager Chris Lloyd says thissense of pride will go a long way to reduc-ing social ills such as crime and dumping.Pedestrian Nomfundo Gamete feels it is

high time the bridges are named.“It’s a good idea. People will knowwhich

one I am referring to. It will make it mucheasier to give directions,” she says.Naming proposals, comments and rec-

ommendations can be submitted by com-pleting and submitting a renaming formavailable at City libraries and subcounciloffices; via fax to (021) 400 1465; by email to

[email protected]; or through writ-ten submission for the attention of the ActingManager: Public Participation Unit by hand

or post to Office 12, 1st Floor, Paul SauerBuilding, 1 Adderley Street or PO Box 298,Cape Town, 8000.

‘An utter waste of money’

PHILIP DE BRUIN

The Law Reform Commission has en-tered the home stretchwith an investiga-tion into the possible decriminalisationof adult prostitution.The commission started its research

four years ago.Dellene Clark, State legal advisor and

researcher for the commission leadingthe prostitution investigation, said thereport is currently being drafted for sub-mission to the full commission.“I cannot yet say what our recommen-

dations are as the full commission first

has to discuss the report,” she says.During the four years of research,

Clark and her team consulted widelywith stakeholders and the public. It isknown that there is a strong feeling inspecific circles that adult prostitution bedecriminalised and that the law mustregulate this industry.There is also a very strong feeling in

parts of the community, especiallyamong religious circles, that prostitu-tion should remain a crime.Whatever the commission decides, a

bill has to be compiled and sent to justiceminister Jeff Radebe for approval.

Prostitution may be legalised

‘Whites only’advert irks

The South African Human Rights Com-mission is investigating a Cape Townjob advertisement only seeking whites

as applicants.The Commission says this comes after re-

cruitment agency Quest posted a job advertstating only white males need apply.

The advert sparked a flurry of outrage onsocial media sites, with Quest being accusedof racism. Quest denied these accusations,saying clients decide the job requirements.

The Commission said it was also investi-gating another advert, “Algemene Werker;slegs blankes”, adding it condemns such ad-vertising. Here is what readers had to say.

BRIAN KOCK says the advert is reminiscent of theold South Africa. “I don’t understand why theyshould say ‘only white’ or even ‘black’. I can’t thinkof anything a white male can do that I can’t.”

RADE MAKHUVHA doesn’t think the advert is rac-ist. “I’ve seen lots of job advertisements sayingthey are only looking for a black male. I ignorethem and look for something I’m qualified for.”

VELISWA QALO says it would not have elicited thesame reaction if the vacancy was for a black male.“I am over apartheid, but many will find it offen-sive when they see such an advertisement. Theyare still living in the past, not knowing that theyare doing the same thing.”

ZAIN GALLIE believes racism is still a problem inour modern society. “We don't have equal rights.What counts for one person should count for an-other. When I see an advertisement like that I feelcriticised, ashamed and like I have no place in thisworld.”

FABIAN HENDRICKS says he feels offended whenhe sees such an advert. “It should depend on whatqualifications one has and not on one’s skin col-our. It’s racist and I don't like it.”

NICKY DAMON says he is offended by the advert.“We all deserve a fair chance. Focus on qualifica-tion, not race. We are over apartheid. To me theadvert was racist. I’m happy they removed it.”

MONIQUE SWART says she deals with these kindsof adverts almost every day. “For me the advertwas racist. I work with BEE and these are the kindsof things I deal with daily. Even if the advert wasabout blacks, people were going to raise ques-tions.”

The tranquil atmosphere has beenshattered at the Woodstock PeaceGarden.

The community facility has beenplagued by a spate of thefts target-ing metal items on the grounds.

The garden was started in 2008 asa partnership between landscaperBruce Beyers and the Alpha Schoolfor Autism to create awarenessaround the disorder and to providea space for residents to reconnectwith nature.

The property is being targeted be-cause of a lack of security on thesite, as there is no funding to installfencing, Beyers says.

“The lights from the highwaylight up the property, allowing peo-ple to see into it. We haven’t got the

money to spend on palisade fencingor an alarm system,” he says.

Although the thieves started pick-ing off small items like chains,building materials and tools, theyhave now targeted big-ticket items,says Beyers.

“They’ve stolen the steel framesand sections from our aquaponicssystem. This led to the death of 25fish. It’s really upsetting when youare not able to look after the liveli-hood of living creatures,” he says.

The thefts have left Beyers de-spondent, and desperate for help tosecure the site.

“The thieves are most likely poorpeople who are struggling, but it’sdifficult when they mess up some-one’s creation. Having a properfencewoulddefinitelymakeadiffer-ence,” he says.

Woodstock Improvement District

project manager Chris Lloyd hassuggested his security staff be al-lowed access to the garden to patrolthe area as with many of the parksin Woodstock.

The garden is open to the commu-nity who can use it to walk theirdogs, play with children, enjoy thelabyrinth or practice Tai Chi.

Beyers hopes the funds to securethe site will come from residents.

In the meantime Beyers intendsto build a tamper-proof brick cup-board, complete with a strongerdoor.

“In this we will install the plugs,new pump and other valuables,” hesays.

He also plans to make use of tim-ber structures instead of steel untilthe site can be secured and to inves-tigate the feasibility of having a se-curity guard stationed at the site.

While several neighbourhood watches andcommunity organisations have rolled outcamera networks to help keep their areassafe, the City of Cape Town has revealedtheir grand plans to improve camera net-works across the metropole.Speaking at a residentsmeeting lastweek,

Mayoral Committee member for Safety and

Security JP Smith revealed the details of a newpolicy to be tabled by the Safety and SecurityPortfolio Committee.He explains that in recentmonths,Metro Po-

lice have noticed the erection of cameras oncouncil-ownedpoles andwere concernedaboutwho they belong to and whether it was beingused for genuine policing activities.Smith says the policy seeks to establish a

uniform and comprehensive set of standardsand assessment criteria to assist in the control,

development and installation of CCTVinfrastructure on council structures.He says the policy will allow communi-

ty organisations, like neighbourhoodwatches, who have genuine safety and se-curity concerns to link with the City tomanage crime information in a struc-tured manner.Watches that wish to erect a camera on

council poles will have to make a formalapplication to the City.Smith says watches will not have to pay

for the erection of cameras but are respon-sible for the insuring of their equipment

against damage and public liability shoulda claim arise.In an attempt to curb criminals from law-

fully erecting cameras on City property,Smith says the applications will need to in-clude letters from the station commander ofthe local police station or the head of theCommunity Police Forum.Should the policy get the go-ahead from

the portfolio committee, it will be translatedand released for public comment.V Do you think cameras in your community are effec-tive in the fight against crime? SMS your commentsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Hebattles towheel himself through the sandand stones to get to the self-made, carpet-covered “ramp” leading to the rickety frontdoor of his wendy house.Brandon Roland forges on, bravely veer-

ing through obstacles to make it home.He is one of thousands of disabled people

living in dire and unsuitable conditions, pa-tiently waiting to reach the top of the hous-ing waiting list.And despite wheelchair-bound applicants

being given priority status, activists say toolittle is being done to grant the disabledtheir right to suitable housing.Roland has been on the list for 11 years

and although he refuses to “sit back andwait for a handout”, the meagre wage hemakes as an assistant in a fish tackle shopwill never be enough to secure him a bond.“Asa father, Iwant toprovide formy fami-

ly,” he says, tickling his eight-month-olddaughter. “But being in awheelchair is a se-rious disadvantage. Council claims to prior-itise the needs of the disabled, but those arejust emptywords. I would like nothingmorethan to be self-sufficient, but this wheel-chair is standing in my way of earning afixed salary and buying my own house.”His tiny, neat home has been burgled

countless times by opportunistic thieveswho know he would be unable to put up afight.“I have nowhere else to go. I have come

a long way from living in a squatter camptowhere I am today. But Iwantmore formy-self and my family. I don’t want to die here,still waiting for my reference number to becalled.”

The waiting gameAtotal of 3 313 disabledpeople fromacross

the city are currently on the housing wait-ing list, confirmsMayoral Committee mem-ber for Human Settlements TandekaGqada.These applicants need to be registered as

wheelchair-bound to be prioritised.“Throughregistration theywill be consid-

ered part of the special needs category andmay qualify on a priority basis for housingprojects as per theCity’s allocationspolicy,”she says.“We are committed to being a caring city

and therefore do all we can to build a metrowhere those who need help receive it to im-prove their living environments.”Candidates have to be classified as disa-

bled on the housing needs database.A doctor’s certificate or other official doc-

umentation is needed for registration.Gqada says council makes provision for

the disabled during the construction ofcouncil accommodation through a specialneeds category, which includes the buildingof disabled-friendly units.

Carrying onBut while council claims to be mindful of

the needs of the disabled, Abduraghman Sa-lie (53) rubbishes this.He waited 20 years to move into his coun-

cil home – amaisonette which requires himto find his way up a steep staircase to getfrom the downstairs bathroom to his bed-room.“I either have to get up very early so that

my sons can carry me before they leave forwork or slither like a snake down thestairs,” he explains.He waited two decades for the call from

council that a home has been allocated tohim.“When I discovered it was a two-storey

house, I still took it. I had waited so manyyears and I didn’t want this opportunity topass me by. My family had been living indire conditions for too long; I put my needsaside so that they could have four walls tocall home.”He has since applied for a wheelchair-

friendly house but knows there may still bea long wait ahead.“I should never have been in this situa-

tion in the first place. It’s hard enough beingin a wheelchair, but its even more difficultwhen you are further disempowered by de-pending on others for mobility.”

Mum’s the wordTessa Willemse has made it her lifelong

goal to teach her son independence.But her efforts are somewhat in vain as

the teenager relies on family members tocarry him through the sandy stretch thatleads from their tiny wendy house to theirfront gate before he can use his wheelchair.

She has to pick up her almost adult sonto allow him to relieve himself in a bucket,as they do not have access to a proper toiletand cannot afford to spend hundreds ofrands on adult diapers.In the decade she has been on the waiting

list, she has made every effort to make hersmall home as wheelchair-friendly as possi-ble.But she still prays and dreams of moving

her son into a house where he can learn tobe self-sufficient.“I don’t know what more I can do,” she

says, close to tears.“I have been to housing offices, the civic

centre in Cape Town and countless meet-ings. But no matter what I do, all the doorsare slammed in my face.”Until her dream of a wheelchair-friendly

house is realised, she will continue to makeevery effort to make life as easy as possiblefor the 17-year-old.“Some might think it would be easier to

put him in a special care home, but I couldnever do that. He is my son.”

Short end of the stickDespite government’s claims of building

an inclusive society, wheelchair-bound peo-ple continue to be overlooked, argues Disa-bledPeople of SouthAfrica provincial secre-tary Anthony George.“Handing over the keys to a mainstream

council home doesn’t cut it,” he insists.“I have seen people battling in the space

they are supposed to feel most comfortable,depending on their families or neighboursto help them get in and out of their homes.

They are forced to forfeit their independ-ence for a house that doesn’t even allowthem to move around freely.”A more intimate understanding of the

challenges facing wheelchair-bound citi-zens is needed to ensure the disabled are notgiven the short end of the stick, George says.“No one stands up for us. Handing over

a monthly grant isn’t seeing to the needs ofour people – there needs to be input and con-sultation. How can a perfectly able-bodiedofficial make the call on what would be ac-cessible and comfortable for someone whocannot move their legs?”

Housing for allCape TownAssociation for the Physically

Disabled director Bridget van der Merwesays while universal accessibility in theconstruction of all housing would be ideal,there is still a long way to go before this isrealised.“But change is creeping in,” she says.

“General building standards are transform-ing towards allowing the disabledmore easein doing things like going to the toilet orswitching on the lights. While not perfect,these measures are seeing us move in theright direction.”But housing activist Sulyman Stellen-

boom says the process should be “drastical-ly speeded up” and government should bethe catalyst for change.“We all have equal rights so we should all

have equal opportunities, especially tobasicneeds such as housing. All avenues towardsempowering andgiving independence to thedisabled must be prioritised.”

Commuters are questioning the implemen-tation of Metrorail’s new timetable, whichcomes into effect later this month.TheState’s rail agencyplans to amend the

weekday roster of its current Southern andCentral lines to a frequency-based service.This will result in changes to the timeta-

ble affecting the Cape Flats to Cape Town,Simon’s Town to Fish Hoek, Fish Hoek toCape Town, Chris Hani to Cape Town, Ka-pteinsklip to Cape Town and Bellville viaBishop Lavis to Cape Town lines.Breaks of between 10 and 30 minutes dur-

ing peak hours will be applied to these sta-tions.Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott says

commuters have been advised since Sep-tember to familiarise themselves with the

new roster through various communica-tion channels. “The implementation date isexpected later this month,” she says.Further details of the scheduled changes

will be announced at a later stage, Scott con-firms.According to Metrorail’s website, the

timetable is being redesigned by interna-tional rail experts and is an integral part ofthe transport service’s national efficiencyplan. The information on thewebsite states:“The international team has helped to re-vise the current stop-patterns and improvethe connections. The frequency-basedschedule is user-friendlywith regular inter-vals during and outside peak periods. It of-fers up to 28% more capacity.”The timetable will come into action once

all accelerated infrastructure improve-ments have been completed.

DECEPTION: Rondebosch Boys’ High School leg spinner Junaid Dawood delivers during a Coca Cola T20Challenge regional play-off match against South Peninsula High School on Monday. Dawood helped his side toa nine wicket victory and a place in the quarter-finals. PHOTO: YUSUF MAGED/OMAR IMAGES

WP players can win it for ’BoschLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Rondebosch Boys’ High School will rely on acore of Western Province capped players asthey defend their Coca-Cola Schools T20 Chal-

lenge title.’Bosch beat Pretoria’s Waterkloof High by 10 runs

to win the T20 Challenge in February, and Eightmembers of that 13-man squad are still eligible forthe 2013/14 competition.

The defending champions will be able to call onMatthew Christensen, Dayyaan Galiem, Jay Ste-vens, Murray Commins, Tayo Walbrugh and RyanKlein, who have all played at provincial level.

Coach Rob Dalrymple says the team will not misstheir departing matric players too much.

“It’s always a big loss when the matrics leave; it’sthe problem with school cricket and it’s somethingyou need to plan for,” he says.

“The challenge is to get the guys who are comingin as ready as possible. Every school loses players;we have some very good matric players and we willmiss them, but I’m confident the players coming inwill do the job.”

Rondebosch beat Zimasa Secondary School andFish Hoek High School in the first two rounds of theregional play-offs, before despatching South Penin-sula High School by nine wickets in the third round

on Monday.Bergvliet High School and Reddam House Con-

stantia will face off tomorrow (Friday 8 November)for a chance to face Rondebosch in the quarter-fi-nals.

Wynberg Boys’ High School are through to thesemi-finals after beating Bellville High School, butwill have to wait to find out their semi-final oppo-nents as several second, third and quarter-finalgames have not yet been played.

SACS seem the most likely opponents.Bishops will meet Pinelands High School in the

only confirmed semi-final, after beating the Town-ship Schools’ XI on Monday.

Dalrymple says while his side are confident ofmaking it to the national finals, they will need toconcentrate to avoid any potential banana peels.

“Our long-term goal is to get back to the nationalfinal and to win, but it’s a process which we are veryfocused on. We are taking it one game at time,” hesays.

“T20 is a difficult format, as it’s very unpredicta-ble. One bad performance or a good performance bythe opposition and you’re out.”

He adds the T20 Challenge victory and the fact thattwo different school sport websites rank ’Bosch asthe number one high school cricket team in SouthAfrica has made his team a massive scalp for opposi-tion sides.

gor with the aim of winning the Dusi Mara-thon title. “Our win at Vaal definitely gaveus some confidence,” he says.“Having spent sixweeks surf-skiing inEu-

rope, I hadn’t been on the river since theBreede River Marathon (in September), soit was nice to be back on the river again andto get things going with Hank.”Thepairwill be in actionat theOzzieGlad-

win CanoeMarathon in KwaZulu-Natal thisweekend.“While we’re definitely trying to build to-

wards the Dusi next year, it’s not our onlygoal,” he says.“What’s nice about our combination is

that we’ve both got a lot happening betweennowandDusi. Forus every racewe take partin is as important as the next one. Every

time we line up at a start-line we want to dowell; the Ozzie Gladwin this weekend is nodifferent.”
