2011: The year that wasTAURIQ HASSEN

IN A YEAR filled with excite-ment, People’s Post takes a

look back at some of 2011’s big-gest stories in the Woodstock/Maitland edition.

The year started off on a positivenote when matriculants stepped uptheir game and achieved a 76,8%pass rate for 2010.

People’s Post reported on thissuccess, “Matric results are better”(10 January).

Maitland High School improvedon the previous year’s results, in-creasing from 57% to 73,9%.

Windermere High School wentup from 57,1% to 74,6%. However,Salt River High School droppedfrom 72,3% to 66,7% and QueensPark High School went from 81,9%to 72,7%.

In March, the Queens Park Recre-ational Facility made headlineswhen locals challenged the City ofCape Town’s R2 million upgrade ofthe facility, raising issues of access,

security and suitability for chil-dren and dogs – “Queens Park aburning issue” (14 March).

The sports precinct in UpperWoodstock emerged after the long-standing Queens Park SwimmingPool was demolished.

The city has since introduced anew trim park, recreational playpark for children, along with im-provements to the soccer field.

In June, Woodstock Police Sta-tion’s appearance was the talk ofthe town in an article, “Battle ofwords over station’s appearance”(28 June), when rumours suggestedthat the station could be moving,which did not go down well with lo-cal residents.

People’s Post cleared the air in anarticle, “Police station ‘not movinganywhere’ (11 May), which high-lighted the situation.

The Moore Paragon building inObservatory was heavily tipped asbeing a possible new home for thestation, but station commanderColonel Pierre van der Riel quicklyset the record straight, announcing

the station would not be moving.However, the building’s appear-ance and suitability remained aconcern, with the lack of parkingspace for police vehicles, no roomfor fast entry or exit in case of emer-gencies, the location of the stationnot allowing for easy traffic flowand the fact that the toilets were lo-cated behind the building.

At the time, Lieutenant ColonelAndre Traut, spokesman for theSAPS Western Cape Media Centre,indicated the station was on a West-ern Cape provincial property listfor the construction of a new policestation.

In September, the annual crimestatistics were released, which re-flected the period between April2010 and March 2011.

People’s Post ran the article,“Crime statistics revealed” (12 Sep-tember), which featured the resultsof the Woodstock, Maitland andKensington police stations.

In Woodstock, the murder ratedropped from 12 in the previous sta-tistical period to only eight, but the

number of attempted murders in-creased from four to seven.

In Maitland, murder increasedfrom three to seven, with attemptedmurders dropping from six to fourcases.

In Kensington, murder only in-creased by one, going from four tofive, but the number of attemptedmurders jumped from nine to 22.

In November, Facreton receivedsome exciting news, when a R100000 development for Acre Road wasannounced after a proposal was de-clared the winner at the recent De-sign Indaba ‘’Your Street’’ CapeTown Challenge competition.

People’s Post highlighted the arti-cle, “Development on the cards forAcreRoad” (7November),which in-dicated that the plans would in-clude a six-a-side soccer field, abench/barrier between the soccerfield and the road, constructed byusingaproven recycling technique,making use of plasyic bottles.

There will also be an open airdance floor and useful informationin the form of graffiti.

Sinking hopesover Maitlandswimming poolTAURIQ HASSEN

THE old Maitland Swimming Poolcontinues to raise eyebrows

among the surrounding community,with drug dealing and dumping head-ing the list of concerns.

The site in Royal Road, Maitland, hasthree derelict buildings, with a large va-cant space earmarked for the Royal Mait-land Phase III project by the Cape TownCommunityHousingCompany (CTCHC).

Phase III development will comprisesingle, double and three-storeybuildings,each containing one, two and three-bed-room units, with landscaping, functionalopen spaces and laundry facilities.

People’s Post reported on the land onnumerous occasions.

“Pool facility a problem, say residents”(1 March) highlighted anti-social activi-ties at the derelict swimming pool facili-ty.

The most recent article, “America’s topspots” (20 September), featured WardCouncillor Derrick America visiting thesite for an inspection, where he con-firmed several concerns and indicatedthat the derelict building needed to be de-molished.

A nearby resident, who wished to re-main anonymous, was shocked to see thenegative development at the site, saying:“After those articles and inspections, youwould have thought the problem wouldgo away, but it has become worst.”

The resident said drug dealing was onthe rise and the amount of rubbisharound the facility was slowly increas-ing.

“This is not right and especially withchildren being exposed to this on a dailybasis, something definitely needs to hap-pen here,” says the resident.

Another resident had similar feelings

over the land, but was mostly concernedat the number of “strange characters” at-tracted to the area.

He explained that on numerous occa-sions, clouds of smoke could be seen ris-ing into the air either inside the run-down building or behind it.

“From dagga to tik, everything is beingsmoked and sold there, so I really don’tknow how this matter cannot be regardedas a problem and the worst thing is, weas residents are meant to just put up withit,” says the resident.

According to the CTCHC, the site waslast cleared by the company in Februarythis year.

It requested assistance from the City’sParks Department, but the request wasdenied.

“Vagrants on the site and illegal dump-ing have been reported to the relevant de-partments at the City of Cape Town, butno feedback was provided,” says theCTCHC.

The CTCHC explained that due to thedevelopment applications and appeals tothe authorities which had to finalised,the project could not unfold.

“This took almost 12 months to com-plete and at that point, downturn in theproperty market resulted in the schemenot to be viable anymore and alternativeshad to be investigated,” says CTCHC.

It added that the scheme would now beamended to a deferred sale scheme,where units can be rented if sufficientsales are not achieved.

CTCHC believes that a permanent solu-tion would be to implement the project“as soon as possible”, but the company iscurrent re-packaging the project andhopes to start construction in 2012.

“A short-term solution would be towork together with the City’s departmenttasked with preventing illegal dumpingon vacant sites,” said the CTCHC.

Greasy problem costs City R60mFATS, cooking oils, grease, food scrap-ings orleftovers placed in the sink havebeen identified as causing huge blockag-es in the sewage system.

The City incurs around R60 million annu-ally to clear sewer blockages across the city,many of which are caused by these substanc-es.

The city says attempts to dissolve the sub-stances by pouring boiling water down thesink doesn’t work as they will solidify fur-ther down the pipeline.

This results in:. Blocked sewers. Sewer pump failures. Sewage overflows. Damage to municipal infrastructure. Reduced efficiency of wastewater treat-

ment facility (hence the infrastructure’shigh operation and maintenance costs.)

. Unhygienic and unhealthy conditions incontravention of the City’s environmentalhealth by-laws, which state that no personmust cause or allow any land or premises,that he is responsible for, to become so fouland filthy that it poses a health risk.

The Water Pollution Control Unit of theWater and Sanitation Department appeals to

businesses to assist in reducing or eradicat-ing these problems by:

. Ensuring that all foreign objects are dis-posed of in refuse bins/skips.

. Scraping leftovers into a refuse bin be-fore washing the plates, pans and utensils.

. Arranging that oil be collected by a li-censed waste contractor and keeping dispos-al certificates handy for at least two years forinspection purposes.

. Installing grease traps in all premisesengaged in the cooking and preparation offood for other persons. This can be discussedwith Water Pollution Control

inspectors.. Regularly maintaining grease traps and

related equipment.Businesses are also requested to assist by

reporting broken/missing gully grids, rod-ding eyes and manhole covers to the call cen-tre below.

For more information and complaints con-tact the

call centre on 0860 10 30 89 or sms 31373 oremail [email protected]

For all industrial effluent discharge-relat-ed problems or advice, call the Water Pollu-tion Control Inspectorate on (021) 684-1042/76.

TAKING A (SEXY) STAND: On Saturday 20 August more than 2 000 Capetonians marched under the banner of the SlutWalk – a worldwideprotest phenomenon – filling thestreets with chants of “we wearwhat we want” and “real men donot rape”, their banners proclaiming “proud slut”, “rapists rape people, not outfits” and “we are so angry we made a poster”. The SlutWalk started as a response to aToronto police officer’s comment inJanuary that “women should avoiddressing like sluts in order not tobe victimised”, and took a standagainst the belief that women whodress in a certain way were “askingfor it”.

MY facial treatment at pretty PetticoatParlour Day Spa in Green Point was purebliss.

Before my pamper session, I met with thesalon’s owner, model Wendy Chiat whoshowed me around her trendy, retro salon.

During my facial, my therapist explainedeach step of my treatment while I relaxedand soaked up the tranquil ambience.

I left feeling revitalised, with radiant skinto boot. The salon has a nail parlour and of-fers facials and massages, as well as the serv-ices of a make-up artist.

You can enjoy “a pedicure on a fuchsiapink leather booth, manicure while sippingcappuccinos, or old fashioned lemonade,and having a gossip with your girlfriends”.

Trained, professional therapists will helpyou unwind in peaceful treatments roomswith a soothing massage or personalised fa-cial. Contact Petticoat Parlour, at Para-mount Centre, 105 Main Road, Green Point,on (021) 434-9484 or [email protected]; or visit www.petticoatpar-lour.co.za.

Successful tournament draws to an endSuccessful tournament draws to an endLYNN PRINS

TURFHALLStadiumeruptedwith cheers on Saturday

when locals flocked to witnessan exciting Softball JuniorWomen’s World Championship(JWWC) final between their fa-vourites, Japan and the US.

The US, who were crownedchampions of the 2007 SoftballJunior Women’s World Champi-onship, hada toughmatchagainstJapan, but eventually won when,in the fifth inning, CheyanneTarango hit a grandslam homerun over the fence.

People’s Post is the media part-ner of the JWWC.

Japan kept composure andfought back but only managed toscore one run, which led to the USbeing crowned champions againfor the fourth time.

It was not easy for the US in theplay-offs, since they faced Japanon Friday and lost the game, send-ing Japan straight to the final.

Japan was then the only unde-feated team and the only team tohave beaten the US.

The champions had to then face ChineseTaipei on Saturday to stand a chance to bein the final, where they successfully beat

Chinese Taipei 12-3.Chinese Taipei, who had also faced Aus-

tralia in the play-offs on Friday, reduced theAussies to tears when they were defeated

3-2, and in the end hopeful Chinese Taipeicame third in the tournament, winningbronze for the second time.

The rest of the teams who all made play-

offs were Canada, Australia, NewZealand, Brazil, and China.

Apart from experiencing joyand disappointment, players alsofound it difficult saying goodbyeas the tournament ended. Manyfriendships were formed, andCape Town proved just how wellthey can host an internationalevent.

The closing ceremony was donein style, and the guests were yetagain entertained – just as in theopening ceremony.

Limited Edition, a group ofdrummers, showed off their tal-ents to the crowd, receiving astanding ovation.

Beng Choo Low, InternationalSoftball Federation SecretaryGeneral, thanked South Africansand the people of Cape Town fortheir outstanding support, andpraised Noore Nacerodien, headof local organising committee,along with his team for the effortsin making the ISF ninth JWWCUnder 19 tournament a success.

The tournament was also de-scribed as one of the best by manycoaches, and Nacerodien said that

Softball South Africa will be bidding for the2016 Senior World Championship.

He wished the teams well and a safe jour-ney home.
