DISTRICT SIX

Restitution failed

TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

E

very month I go visit the land that

was taken from us by force. It tears

my heart when I see what the city

is doing to District Six. They are building,

but they dont want to give us our land

back.

These were the words of a teary Bahia

Abrahams as she marched with 200 other

people to the Civic Centre in the city centre

to demand their land. The march was orga-

nised by the District Six Working Commit-

tee to addressmayor Patricia de Lille so that

they could make some progress in getting

their land back. Abrahamss family had

been forcefully removed from District Six.

She now lives in Mitchells Plain.

The protesters handed over a memoran-

dum of grievances of 16 pages. They said

they wanted an answer within seven work-

ing days, because they had waited for too

long.

Abrahams said she wanted to die in Dis-

trict Six. Theymust take us back where we

belong. I grew up in District Six and thats

where I want to die. Nothing is being done

about the land, instead they keep building

for their own benefit. Its a shame, when we

lived in District Six we were so happy but

bymoving us they took our happiness away.

If the City doesnt listen to us this time

around we will go squat on the land. It be-

longs to us. Until when should we wait?

Darawiesa deVilliers, another land claim-

ant who is living in Lentegeur, said they

wanted their land back because that is

where their livelihood was.

They promised us that we will have the

land but we are still waiting. We cant wait

any longer. Our lives are there. We have

memorises there. The Citymust act now; we

are tired of empty promises, she said.

There are claims that initially 150 hectare

of land was supposed to be given back to the

people, but with the City building on it they

only have 42 hectare left, which is not

enough for the people who were forcefully

removed from the area.

Shahied Ajam, chairperson of the District

SixWorkingCommittee, says its practically

impossible to compensate for the injustices

done through the Natives Land and Group

Areas acts.

No amount of money can ever compensate

for the amount of indignities inflicted upon

the people on the grounds of the colour of

their skin. It is equally impossible to imag-

ine how, for 21 years into democracy in the

new South Africa, a previously disenfran-

chised people, who were disposed of their

rights and forcibly evicted fromtheirhomes

in the apartheid era, have not yet been prop-

erly restituted.Moreover, it is unacceptable

that people continue to suffer humiliation

andpersonal setbacks,when theyhavebeen

deprived of their basic human rights for so

long, he says.

Thememorandum includes a proposal for

holistic remedies and calls on the City of

Cape Town to act.

Since corruption crept into the first

round with the flopped housing develop-

ment scheme, a forensic audit should be

conducted into how the housing allocation

to residents presently occupying houses in

District Six was done. We want a fast-track-

ing of things, because the people cant wait

any longer.

The mayor must be brave enough to ad-

mit that urban restitution, particularly in

the case of District Six, has been a failure.

Local, provincial and national government

should now become proactive in their ef-

forts to restore the peoples dignity before

it is too late, sincemanyclaimants are elder-

ly and fear that justice may not be brought

in their lifetime, says Ajam.

Wilfred Solomons-Johannes, a represent-

ative of the mayors office, accepted the

memorandum.

We will look into and respond, but it has

been communicated that this is not the

Citys matter but of the department of rural

development and land reform. The City has

done what it was supposed to do and land

has been released to the national govern-

ment, so everything lies with it. However,

we will help them follow the right channels

but the people who are marching are the

very samepeoplewho are blocking opportu-

nities for others.

Ian Neilson, deputy mayor, says the City

released 42 hectare of available, City-owned

land to the department of rural develop-

ment and land reform in 2000 and has bud-

geted for service provision. He adds that it

is the department that decides which devel-

opment option to pursue and drives the

process to determine which applicants are

beneficiaries.

Firefighters warn of easy sparks

NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A

s fire season officially starts

thismonth, theVolunteerWild-

fire Services (VWS) is calling on

Capetonians to be fire aware.

Always assume that awildfire or

a house fire can be ignited, says

VWS marketing director Marisa

Galloway.

VWS is a firefighting organisa-

tionmadeup of over 200 volunteers

at four stations. Started 15 years

ago in response to devastating fires

in Cape Town, the organisation is

a first responder to fires in Table

Mountain National Park and

works closely with other emergen-

cy services.

How a wildfire is started does

not change anything for us. We al-

ways go out and fight fires aggres-

sively but safely. It is important for

members of the public to always be

aware that open fires, fireworks,

Chinese lanterns and cigarette

butts not only cause damage to the

natural environment but also pose

major fire risks, she says.

A large part of fighting wildfires

safely is team work, says VWS

Newlands station manager Jon-

Jon Emary.

One of ourmembers hit the nail

on the head by calling what we do

high-speed gardening. Imagine

digging, cutting and smothering

flames in as quick a time as possi-

ble for eight hours. Team work,

safety, training and fitness are so

crucial to what we do, he says.

We go out together and return

together. Some days we win and

others we dont, but every single

time we go out we do so with a

smile on our faces and pride in our

hearts.

Every day is a highlight at the

VWS, Emary says.

This year alonewehave had the

biggest operational seasonwehave

ever had, seen more support and

donations from the public than ev-

er before andhad the largest intake

of new volunteers ever, he says.

The team was instrumental in

fighting fires earlier in the year,

such as the blaze in Cape Town in

March.

To this day theweek of the Cape

fire was the most challenging. The

management of the incredible in-

flux of donations, sending out nu-

merous fire crews, handling the

media and trying to squeeze some

work in between it all was a huge

task. I have to takemy hat off to ev-

ery single one of the amazing vol-

unteers who assisted, he says.

The organisation faces some

unique challenges, with all mem-

bers working as volunteers and

needing to be safely kitted out.

At times its a struggle. Be-

tween a very demanding day job,

fire calls and managing the Newl-

ands fire base, it is a massive task.

The reality is that if youre pas-

sionate about it you will find the

time, Emary says.

The costs associated with fight-

ing fires are extremely high. Just

kitting out one firefighter costs

about R3000. On top of thatwe have

vehicles to maintain and refuel as

well as equipment to service and

replace.

Its safe to say that without

funding we wouldnt be able to do

what were passionate about, Gal-

loway says.

And input from the public is vi-

tal, especially in preventing fires,

she says.

Havea smokealarminstalled in

your house. Please dont let off Chi-

nese lanterns, particularly over

New Years. They may seem beau-

tiful, but they pose a massive fire

risk. Educate your children about

the dangers of fires and bring them

to our open day so they can learn

more about fires and the VWS,

she says.

V The VWS open day will take place on

Sunday 29 November at the Chrysalis

Academy in Tokai forest. The family day

will let children of all ages interact with

VWS volunteers, learn more about the or-

ganisation and fires and see firefighting

displays. Entry is free and food will be on

sale. Only cash and Snapscan payments

will be accepted for food and beverages.

Visit www.vws.org.za for more information

and to pre-register for the open day.

As fire season starts residents are urged to be fire aware. PHOTO: ANDREW HAGAN/ VOLUNTEER WILDFIRE SERVICES

Old school toilets

need a revamp

TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

T

he school governing body of Chapel

Street Primary School in Woodstock is

pleading for help to renovate the schools

boys and girls bathrooms.

Since the schoolwas established 103years

ago the pupils have been using the same toi-

lets. The school governing body feels its

about time for a change.

Pupils have also said they want new toi-

lets.

The toilets are old and dont work proper-

ly, resulting in the floors being floodedwith

water regularly. Apart from being old, cop-

per wires have been stolen, resulting in

poor lighting and marks on the walls. The

paint is old and in some of the toilets it has

been coming off.

Now there are calls for thosewhocanhelp

to give a hand for the better of the school

but also for the well-being of the pupils.

Casiem Moahamed, chairperson of the

school governing body, says: We want bet-

ter toilet facilities because it will also help

them to look after them properly. As it is

now its difficult for them to take good care

of them because they are not working prop-

erly. When the toilets are working properly

they will be proud of the school and it will

help them to learn better as well. They will

respect the school and take good care of it.

Were asking for help from people out there

who can help us change the lives of these

kids.

A second priority is improving the play

area, becausewhen it rains it gets full ofwa-

ter, making it impossible for pupils to play.

Karriem Gabriels, acting school princi-

pal, says the toilets are very old.

We have a lot of things that we want

changed at the school and the toilets are a

priority. They have been damaged, lights

and cables stolen. We dont have money to

do that and we are asking those who can

help to come through for us. It will really

mean a lot to us as a school but most of all

to the children who have to use the toilets

every day, says Gabriels.

V Readers who want to help the school renovate its

toilets can call Mohamed on 083 417 8697.

Casiem Mo-

hamed, chairper-

son of the

school governing

body at Chapel

Street Primary

School in

Woodstock, says

they need help

to revamp the

boys and girls

the school.

Residents march

against drugs

TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

M

embers of theMaitland Community Po-

lice Forum and local neighbourhood

watches, as well as residents and police offi-

cers marched through the streets of Mait-

land and Kensington to voice their frustra-

tion about drugs that are destroying the fu-

ture of their community.

The anti-drug march, to raise awareness

of the devastating effects that drugs have on

the youth, took place on Saturday. The

marchers started atMaitland town hall and

walked through Kensington all the way up

to Coronation Road and back to where it

started.

Along the way they chanted slogans and

sang to send across a message that they

were sick and tired of drug dealers.

They stopped at six hotspots where drugs

are sold to make it clear they were aware

of the drugs sold to their children and they

wanted it to stop.

Vanessa Hendricks, a Kensington resi-

dent, said she took part in the march as she

has seen the devastating effects drugs had

on children.

I drive this road every day and I see how

our children are being destroyed by the

merchants. They deal in drugs outside and

they are selling them to young children.

They pretend to be playing pool, yet in fact

they are dragging our kids into drugs.

We are sick and tired of them. We cant

take it anymore, we want a change. Though

wearemarchinga lothas tobedoneasMait-

land is getting worse. Our children are dy-

ing. These clubs along the road are always

in the dark, so there is nothing good that

can come out of them, she said.

Another resident,MichaelPrag, said chil-

dren were fed drugs and it had to stop.

Parents are trying all they can to raise

their children in the right way, but these

drug dealers are destroying them. Drugs

are a problem and its time that we take a

stand as a community. The drug dealers

dont care; they sell to anyone no matter

what their age and that is destroying our

community. Due to the use of drugs we now

have a lot of crime like burglaries, robber-

ies and gangsterism. We want our streets

back and we will not allow the drug dealers

andmerchants to ruin the future of our chil-

dren. We are taking back the streets and

saying no to drugs, he said.

Ward councillor Lisa Mcbride said she

praised those who came out to take owner-

ship of their streets.

They are an example to the whole ward

as to what needs to be done to see real im-

provement and growth and peace in our

communities, she said.

Police also said they were not taking

things lying down.

Constable Lorencial Johnson, Maitland

police station spokesperson, said they were

working around the clock to make sure

criminals were brought to book.

We will continue to raid and search all

the hotspots.

People are getting arrested and its a pity

that the job of selling drugs is an easy one.

When we arrest someone, another one easi-

ly takes up the job. However, that will not

deter us. We are watching and we will not

let them destroy our community. We will

continue to arrest those who are found on

the wrong side of the law, he said.

JP Smith, mayoral committee member

for safety and security, also took part in the

march and promised the residents that

something would be done.

Wewill do several operations andmakes

sure the area is clean of drugs, he said.

Community members marched this past weekend to send a stern warning to drug dealers

that they are not tolerated in Maitland or Kensington. PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJI

Fun day to revive Muharram

About 400 children from across the Cape pen-

insula, Boland andWest Coast enjoyed a day

of fun and edutainment when the South Afri-

canNationalZakahFund (Sanzaf) held its an-

nual Muharram childrens day programme

at the Caledonian Roses RFC sports grounds

in Athlone industria on Saturday.

Sanzaf caseworkers identified groups of

children through their networks in Mitch-

ells Plain, Belhar, the greater Athlone area,

Salt River, Manenberg, Elsies River and as

far afield as Paarl, Vredenburg, Wellington

and Worcester.

The purpose of the daywas to give children

from underprivileged communities the op-

portunity to enjoy a day of fun. Its aim is also

to revive theCapetonian spirit ofMuharram,

in which children would historically be

treated to sweets or other forms of charity.

On Saturday each child was treated to a

breakfast box containing a muffin, yoghurt,

fruit juice, fruit and other snacks at the start

of the day.HipHipHooray event planners en-

sured that there were activities for all age

groups to enjoy, including a KensingtonPal-

ace jumping castle, giant and mini water

slides, an inflatable obstacle course and a

splash pool.

Children were also able to enjoy popcorn

and candyfloss at a candy station.

grammes call 0861 726 923,

WOODSTOCK

Going back to

his roots to help

TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

O

mar Anwar (53), originally from Wood-

stock, is going back to his roots by help-

ing children from the area who have an au-

tism spectrum disorder.

Autism is a mental condition, present

from early childhood, characterised by

great difficulty in communicating and

forming relationships with other people

and in using language and abstract con-

cepts.

Anwar rode 1800km from Cape Town

city centre toPietermaritzburg in 21hours

in order to raise funds for Alpha School for

pupils with autism in Woodstock.

For every kilometre he reached he re-

ceived donations and all this money will go

towards helping the children. He managed

to raise R24 750 for the school.

This is not the first time he is doing some-

thing to give back to the community.

Two years ago he ran the Gun Run half-

marathon to help a paraplegic boy and

raised the equivalent of three years school

fees.

Prior to that I initiated an autism fund-

raising and awareness campaign as part of

a cycling team. Two of the team members

had autistic kids. Ive done several charity

initiatives over the years, as a cyclist and

a runner. Ive been fortunate and Im at a

stage inmy life where I want to plough back

into my community, he says.

Anwar says he was deeply touched by the

autism condition when he got involved in

the autism charity initiative two years ago.

He thinks there is somuchmore that people

his part. He is happy that he can help his

community.

Im excited about the iron butt ride and

the broader global motorcycle tour. Ill be

doing something Im passion-

ate about for a very deserving

cause. It will be very fulfilling

for me. Its a great opportunity

and I think Im very fortunate

to be doing something I enjoy

and making a difference in

someones life at the same

time. Im also happy that I

managed to raise money for

the children and we will be do-

ing more things.

children in Woodstock with

People are quick to complain. Its human nature when

youre not happy with something you speak up, say how

you feel, kick up a fuss until someone hears and does

something about the problem.

As recently demonstrated by university students

across the country, when you yell hard enough someone

is bound to hear and act. The students were victorious,

yet now some say its not enough.

The problem these days is that people have forgotten

the common courtesy of Thank you. Give them a finger

and they try to grab the whole arm, or worse, they throw

it back because they wanted the pinkie, not the thumb.

Often people complain about a crime-ridden alley, but

when someone takes action and closes it, those same peo-

ple are unhappy because they cant walk through it any-

more. We constantly hear how long the waiting list for

government housing is. After years and years of waiting

a family finally walks into their own home, but then its

not good enough because its too small or located in the

wrong area.

And of course, roads . . . Everyone who owns a car has

had his fair share of traffic, but let the City dare startwith

roadworks to improve the road and lessen congestion and

you hear the moaners start their engines. Or the com-

plaints roll in when they put up another speed bump in

front of a school.

People too easily forget it is impossible tokeepeveryone

happy. The onesmaking the tough decisions about a solu-

tion for a specific problem often have a much bigger pic-

ture to consider too.

Thehouseyouhavebeenwaiting for these last tenyears

may not be perfect or in the ideal location, but its yours

to decorate and cherish and share with whom you wish.

The extra block we have to walk to catch a taxi or the

extra bump we have to break for in the road may be an

inconvenience, but it could save a life.

Push-the-Pensioner Day

I would like to suggest that one day each

month is set aside and formally designa-

ted Push-the-Pensioner Day. My

reasoning behind this is quite simple

and I am sure that everyone will agree

with me that the concept is quite

brilliant.

As a pensioner myself, as well as

being a recovering cancer patient, I

believe that Im eminently qualified to

talk about this subject. Wherever elderly

citizens go these days they are constant-

ly pushed, shoved and knocked out of

the way by robust young people who

seem to be both bad tempered and in a

terrible hurry.

In a way I feel sorry for these young-

sters as they appear to be in a perpetual

state of desperation and aggression.

Happiness and joy of life seem to have

been lost in a fruitless search to satisfy

their egos. Although children may not

fall into this category, they have a more

novel way of offending the elderly: They

simply refuse to acknowledge they exist

and cheerfully try and walk right

through them.

If we nominated one day each month

as Push-the-Pensioner Day all assaults

on pensioners would have to be confined

to this one day. This would leave the

rest of the month relatively safe for

pensioners to venture onto the streets

and into malls without fear of being

knocked flying. Similarly, they would

not be taken by surprise as they would

know what to expect on these nominated

days and, preferably, elect to stay at

home.

Seriously though, its a sad indictment

on our society that the elderly and

infirm are treated with so little courtesy.

Homes must apply to be more

The City of Cape Town is aware that

private properties are increasingly being

used for various activities, for example

as small churches or places of worship,

businesses and crches.

While these uses are welcomed,

property owners must ensure that the

use of their property is in line with the

zoning of the premises and consent for

alternative uses must be obtained.

A property zoned Single Residential 1

allows for a dwelling house to be con-

structed. It also allows for additional

uses such as home occupation, a bed-

and-breakfast establishment (no more

than six paying guests and no more than

three rooms for guests) and home

childcare (a small crche of up to six

children).

Owners of properties zoned for Single

Residential 1 purpose must be granted a

consent use or temporary departure if

they do not comply with the limitations

for additional uses or want to operate a

place of worship, small business (such as

a house shop), guest house or crche

(with more than six children) or want to

build a second dwelling on the property.

If they fail to do so they will be in

contravention of the propertys zoning

rights. The City of Cape Towns munici-

pal planning bylaw permits the City to

take a variety of actions in respect of an

unlawful land use.

An owner may apply to rectify the

unlawful land use or building work, but

will be required to pay a penalty.

Legal action is the absolute last resort.

Therefore, property owners are encour-

aged to visit their local district planning

office to verify whether the current use

of the property complies with the zoning

of the premises and, if not, what process

they need to follow in order to comply

with legislation. The Citys inspectors

will help property owners with any

questions they may have about zoning

matters and building applications.

Complaints relating to possible contra-

ventions are to be submitted in writing

to the Citys property enforcement

section at their local planning district

office.

Mayoral committee member for energy,

My proposal

makes road

safety sense

We often read or hear of the carnage on

our highways and byways and it would

seem our leaders in road management

are doing their best to keep the motorist

and pedestrian safe.

The other conclusion one has to come

to is that motorists still do not believe

speed kills. All kinds of projects have

been launched to keep motorists in

check, like the Arrive Alive campaign. It

runs into the tens of millions of rands

that these accidents are extracting from

the government coffers.

With this sad state of affairs one would

expect proposals to bring this road

carnage to an end. Every avenue will be

dissected, analysed, tested and then

implemented if it makes road safety

sense. This is going to be my one of

many attempts to sell my project for free

to the powers that be.

When I was operational commander I

took the initiative to have huge posters

made of crime prevention hints and

stuck them to my police vehicles, which

made my police vehicles talk to the

public when they were driven or parked,

and it worked.

The law enforcement officers vehicles,

in conjunction with other city service

vehicles like your waste collection

trucks, should have such posters with

examples of the contravention of the

Road Traffic Act, like drunken driving,

skipping red robots, speeding, with the

penalties stuck with magnets to the doors

or sides of the vehicles. While they are

being driven or parked they warn

motorists of the consequences of contra-

vening road regulations.

Also look at minibus taxis to have

these posters attached to their vehicles.

These posters can have hard-hitting

facts on road traffic violations with

pictures. It will be in the face of motor-

ists and this should have a driver

thinking twice about contravening the

rules of the road.

V

isitors to Cape Towns top attractions

are growing, with Kirstenbosch seeing

almost a third more visitors last year.

This was announced at the annual meet-

ing ofCapeTownTourism,withCEOEnver

Duminy attributing the boost to the addi-

tion of new attractions.

Kirstenbosch enjoyed growth of 29%

year-on-year as a result of adding theBoom-

slang tree canopy walkway proof that in-

novation works. The plan across the entire

tourism industry and the associated busi-

nesses is to provide richer travel experien-

ces to visitors, he says.

Table Mountain had the second highest

growth, of almost 15%. Almost 1m visitors

enjoyed the mountain last year.

Visitors to Robben Island increased 9%

and Cape Point saw a 3% increase.

The V&A Waterfront still receives the

most visitors 24m visitors last year, grow-

ing almost 3%.

Many tourists come here to see the icon-

ic attractions, and, if we market them cor-

rectly, we can make sure to offer other at-

tractions in conjunctionwith themore pop-

ular experiences. The major attractions

have global appeal and awareness, so its

a great way of getting tourists here. Once

theyre here, we then have the opportunity

to showcase some of the lesser known hid-

den gems we have in Cape Town, Duminy

says.

To highlight the Citys lesser known at-

tractions, the organisation recently

launched a video series showing spots in

Woodstock, the city centre and Kalk Bay.

These have given the viewer fantastic

insight into a richer travel experience. The

travel like a local trend is a global one

tourists dont just want a guide book offer-

ing, they want to experience the city the

way locals do, he says.

Cape Town Tourism has also rolled out

mobile centres to distribute information to

visitors where they are.

Onerun is race of the year

The FNB Cape Town 12 Onerun won the

Race of the Year award at the Western

Province Athletics annual awards event

in Cape Town recently.

The Awards evening brought together

athletes, clubs, race organisers, coaches,

technical officials and administrators

from across the province to celebrate the

athletic achievements of individuals and

clubs committed to the sport.

Sue Forge, general manager for West-

ernProvinceAthletics, congratulated the

Onerun race organisers on their achieve-

ment.

The FNB Cape Town 12 Onerun was

named the winner out of a pool of promi-

nent road running events, some of which

are the biggest in the country. We are ex-

tremely proud to play host to an event of

this stature and are confident that it will

continue to grow in success, said Forge.

The Onerun in May saw about 10 000

runners line up at the start in Wood-

bridge Island on a perfect winters day.

The race also won the Race of the

Month award at the same event.

We were over the moon when we

heardwehadwon the awards, as they rec-

ognise the hard work that Stillwater

Sports and Brackenfell Athletics Club

has put into creating something special

for runners, said SueUllyett, eventman-

ager for the FNB Cape Town 12 Onerun.

This innovative, unique road running

event has turned road running on its

head and demonstrated that SouthAfrica

can deliver an event that equals those

found overseas, she added.

It is a fast, flat 12km route that attracts

runners from all walks of life from local

and international running champions to

fun runners who join to dress up and en-

joy the livemusic. The route starts inMil-

nerton, follows the coastline past key

landmarks and finishes outside FNB offi-

ces at the Portside building in Bree

Street.

Next years Onerun takes place on Sun-

day 15 May and online entries for the

A few weeks ago Aayesha Kleinsmiths

dream of representing South Africa at the

World Karate Federation Championships

in Indonesia seemed impossible.

Now, with the help of Play Sport4Life

(PS4L), that dream has come true.

Aayesha is a first-year Sports Science

student at the University of the Western

Cape and a junior nidan (second degree

black belt) from Kensington.

This is the third time she has been select-

ed to represent her country. Having strug-

gled to raise funds for the first tournament

and not being able to attend the second due

to financial strain, her mother, Rukeya

Kleinsmith, pleaded for financial help for

her daughters trip. By organising fun-

draising events they were able to cover a

portion of the money needed, but had no

idea where they would get the rest.

PS4Lhas sponsored the remaining funds.

The non-profit organisation, which was es-

tablished in Kensington last year, supports

Aayesha because she represents women in

sport and could be an ambassador for the

organisation in promoting women in vari-

ous sports.

PS4L is home-grown and we want to

work with athletes in the area who repre-

sent what we feel is needed in Kensington,

says Kyle Inglis, operations director at

PS4L. Wewant to establish a goodworking

relationship with her, one that can stretch

far beyond financial.

Aayesha is now able to put her energy

and focus into her training to prepare for

the upcoming tournament. She aims to do

her best and make her family, friends and

community proud. SouthAfrica hasntwon

a medal at the championships since 1997

and she hopes to be the one to change that.

Im excited and nervous at the same

time, she says. She hopes to be an inspira-

tion to the youth in Kensington, especially

girls, to never give up on their dreams.
