Begging for removalNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Children begging outside the Old BiscuitMill is a growing concern, say crimefighting organisations.

This follows a social media posting whichlashed out at safety officerswhowere report-edly seen chasing children away from theOld Biscuit Mill.According to the postings, the children

live in Woodstock and were being “movedalong” by safety officers of the Salt River Im-provement District.None of those posting the allegations re-

sponded to requests byPeople’s Post for com-ment.However, Woodstock police spokesperson

Sergeant Hilton Malila says a group of chil-dren come to the popular market on Satur-days, playing drums on the sidewalk to getmoney from the visitors.“These children are not from Woodstock.

We are currently in a process to involve thesocial development department to assistwith the problem.Members of our police sta-tion frequently remove them during patrolsas they are causing an obstruction for pedes-trians on the sidewalk,” he says.Gene Lohrentz, CEO of Geocentric Urban

Management who manages the improve-ment district, says safety officers have wit-nessed both aggressive begging and illegalcar guarding in the public space around theOld Biscuit Mill, which are activities in di-rect violation of the City of Cape Town’s by-laws.“Within its mandate, the improvement

district’s public safety team assists the po-lice, Metro Police and Law Enforcement toaddress both criminal behaviour and socialissues,” he says.TheSaltRiverBusiness ImprovementDis-

trict’s mandate is to ensure the Salt Riverarea is inviting and safe for all the peopleof the area including visitors, residents,property and business owners alike, saysLohrentz.However, under the organisation’s man-

date, public safety officers do not arrest orsearch people, he says.“The safety officers have a responsibility

towards the general public to address issuessuch as aggressive beggars, illegal carguardsandotherdisturbances and therefore

our officers approach people doing such ac-tivities and ask them not to continue,” hesays.TheOldBiscuitMill private property area

does not fall under the improvement dis-trict’s area as they only operate in publicspace, Lohrentz says.“We have not received any direct com-

plaints that concern the safety officers,”

Lohrentz points out.Malila says although crime is present

around the tourist spot, none of the childrenperforming there have been directly linkedto any criminal activity.“According to our information , the chil-

dren don’t commit crime. We are experienc-ing that local criminals target the cars thatare being parked all over the side streets

leading to the Old Biscuit Mill on a Satur-day,” he says.Lohrentz stresses that visitors to the area

should give responsibly to shelters and so-cial organisations.“By givingmoney to beggars on the street,

you are responsible for them to keep on liv-ing on the streets, because it becomes a via-ble option for them,” he says.

FINANCE

You and the BudgetWhat does the Budget 2015 mean to the ordi-

nary South African citizen? Financial journal-

ist Moeshfieka Botha helps readers to under-

stand how they will be affected by the Budget.

There were many people who eagerlyawaited this year’s budget speech. Andthere were also many who simply were

not interested in it because they feel that thedecisions made by politicians rarely havemuch impact on the lives of ordinary citi-zens. They still just do the best they canwithwhat they have available.

Budget 2015, however, is very importantto ordinary South African citizens becauseit does directly affect our lives.

Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene’s firstfull National Budget was a tough one.

Fuel levyThe biggest shock to consumers was prob-

ably the raising of the fuel prices by 80.5c/F.This ismade up of an increase in the generalfuel levy by 30.5c/F and the Road AccidentFund levy by 50c/F.

While fuel prices are now at their lowestin many months, consumers might be ableto absorb these increased levies, but fuel pri-ces do fluctuate. Consumers will be feelingthe full brunt of this levy hike when the fuelprice rises again. We will not only be feelingit directly when we fill up, but we are sureto the see the price of basic food and necessi-ties rise too.

ElectricityThe other hike whichwill have a direct ef-

fect on consumers is the “temporary” in-crease in the electricity levy form 3.5c/kWhto 5.5c/kWh. According to Nene this was putinto place to assist demand. The additional2c/kWh will be withdrawn when the elec-

tricity shortage is over.

Income taxPeople earning more than R181 900 a year

(R15 158 a month) with have their personalincome tax increased by 1%. This raises taxof the average person in this tax bracket, be-low the age of 65 by about R21 a month.

The rates and brackets for transfer dutieson the sale of properties will be adjusted, sothat it provides relief to middle incomehouseholds. Transfer duty on properties be-low R750 000 will be eliminated.

Sin taxOther increases include:. The tax on a quart of beer goes up by

15.5c;. A bottle of wine will cost 15c more;. A bottle of sparkling wine goes up by 48c

and a bottle of whisky will cost R3.77 more;. A pack of 20 cigarettes will cost 82cmore.Social grants have been increased:

. Oldage,war veterans, disability and caredependencygrantswill increase byR60 fromR1350 to R1410;. Child support grantswill increase byR10

to R330;. And foster care grants will increase by

R30 to R860.The number of beneficiaries of social

grants has doubled from 7.7 million recipi-ents.Nene said they would review the possi-bility of further adjustments to grant valuesin October.

Disposable incomeThe household debt-to-disposable income

ratio currently stands at 78.4%.Consumerswho are already cash strapped

and specifically struggling to pay their debt,are encouraged to tighten their belts and putall their resources into becoming debt-freeas soon as possible.

RogerBrown, chief executive of debt coun-sellors Credit Matters, says: “This is crunchtime for consumers. The only way thosestruggling with debt are going to survive isby decreasing what they pay their creditorsmonthly so that they may have more moneyleft to live on and pay for basic necessities.”V How are you tightening your belt? Share yourthoughts on cashsaving initiatives you have introduced or plan to implement in your home. Startingwith the word “Post” SMS to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Citizens will have to revisit their personal budgets to accommodate for expected increases in fuel and sin tax. This photo is an illustration.PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

OBSERVATORY

No to new planNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Observatory residents took to thestreets on Saturday in protest at a pro-posed nine-storey development.

This community action is an about-turnfollowing a request by a property developeron their website prompting residents to saywhy they love their community.Observatory Civic Association spokesper-

son Phyllis Orner says: “That is exactlywhat we’re going to do. We’re going to tellRawson [Property Developers] why we loveObservatory and do not want it irreparablychanged by an insensitive and inappropri-ate development,” she explains.Organised under the Observatory Civic

Association, the event aims to raise aware-ness about the proposed development,which the organisation was not given thechance to comment on, says Orner.“We think it is out of character with Ob-

servatory and that it will impact adverselyon the community. We are particularly un-happy that we had no opportunity to giveinput to the plans which were submitted tothe City [of Cape Town] in December.”The organisation was told by the City

that there is little that can be done to stopthe development, as the plans are zoningcompliant, Orner maintains.“However, we do understand that the Ur-

ban Design division in City Planning hasasked Rawson to revisit the plans theyhave submitted because they are inconsist-ent with the character of the surroundingcommunity,” she says.The building plan application is being

circulated to the relevant departments forcomments, says JohanvanderMerwe,Cityof Cape TownMayoral CommitteeMemberfor Energy, Environmental and SpatialPlanning (“Paragon: changes afoot”, Peo-ple’s Post, 20 January).The application does not require any

public participation as it complies with themixeduse zoning of the property accordingto the National Building Regulations andStandards Act, he says.Van derMerwe adds that the property al-

so falls outside the Heritage ProtectionOverlay Zone.Over 1000 residents have signed a peti-

tion because they are not happy with thedevelopment, says Orner, and the eventserved as a way to sign up even more.Rawson Developers’ property develop-

ment analyst Trevor Weston-Green saysthe company is working with council toamend the current plans “to somethingthat council views to be in the better inter-est of the area and more in line with thetown planning fabric and desired densifi-cation”.Weston-Green says the event is “abit pre-

mature” as Rawson has communicatedchanges to the development to the associa-tion.“The plans are busy being drawn up by

our architect. One has to understand thata redesign of the building of thismagnitudedoes not happen quickly,” he says.The plans have been substantially

changed and respond to all aspects con-tained within the letter received from theObservatory Civic Association, says West-on-Green.“They have also been extensively work-

shopped with the City’s Urban Design De-partment. The changes have involvedchanging the form and massing of thebuilding, how it relates to adjoining streetsand properties as well as the reconfigura-tion of the units to create a range of accom-modation,” he explains.Rawson intends to present the revised

scheme to representatives of the Observato-ry Civic Association, as promised, Weston-Green says.Orner hopes the public event will serve as

a way to foster meaningful community con-sultation with Rawson and the City.“It also raises awareness more generally

in Cape Town about the lack of opportunityfor public input into urban development,given the way the Zoning Scheme is beingimplemented. It is deeply problematic thatresidents are legally excluded from havingany say in such developments in their com-

munities. We expect our counsellors to takenote that something is seriously wrong.”The association would also like to see a

long-term, overall heritageplan forObserva-tory which would manage future develop-ment in a way that preserves the characterof the community, Orner says.Rawson and the civic association met on

Friday, Orner says. However, the new pro-posal was rejected by the Observatory resi-dents. The proposal saw the design loweredto five storeys on Eden Road, but raised to11 storeys on Main Road.

The protest action saw residents gathering onthe corner of Bowden and Main roads, infront of the site of the proposed develop-ment.

Holding placards, Observatory residents are protesting over plans to erect a multi-storeybuilding. PHOTOS: NICOLE MCCAIN

CARNIVAL

Ready to floatNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

In a warehouse in Maitland, a magicalwonderland is waiting to burst onto CapeTown’s streets.Trees twice the size of a man, giant ele-

phants and cascading jellyfish are just someof the hidden gems inside the Cape TownCarnival’s workshop.Set to take place on Saturday 14 March,

months of preparation have gone into creat-ing over a dozen floats that will be paradeddown the Fanwalk in Green Point.The theme for this year’s Carnival, the

fifth annual event, is Elemental – Celebrat-ing Fire, Water, Air and Earth.The dozen floats are the result of collabo-

rative ideas, says Cape Town Carnival crea-tive director Brad Baard, with ideas comingfrom the design team, crew and public.“We take everything and what doesn’t

work falls away, in the end leaving us withsomethingbeautiful,” he says. “Noone thingthat gets built is the product of just one per-

son.”With no two floats quite alike, some can

take only a fewweeks to complete while oth-ers take two or three months, Baard ex-plains.“Every bit of detail takes time and it de-

pends on how complex the float is,” he says.A number of materials are used in con-

struction, ranging from the steel frames,wooden sections and cardboard decorationsto foam and mattress – as seen in the trunkof one float in the shape of an elephant.“And it moves!” Baard says. “The ele-

phant trunk unfolds and moves, while itsears flap.”Other props, such as giant jellyfish, are

made from recycledmaterials such as paperand plastic bags.“We focus on developing reusable parts.

We design new things to be versatile and weusewhatwehave inan inventivewayby justadding that little bit of magic,” he says.Safety is a top priority in manufacturing

the floats, Baard says.“This attention to detail is applied to sev-

eral levels of safety, from the constructionthrough to every aspect of the design,” hesays.This sees floats designed to ensure no

property is damaged during the perform-ance and to ensure no harm comes to thepublic or performers.“It’s important that the performers feel

safe. They must be able to grab onto some-thing if they lose their balance,” Baard ex-plains.Although completely built in the ware-

house, each floatmust be broken down intosections to allow it to be transported to thecarnival venue.They are then reassembled on site, some

in only 30 minutes.

Visitors will have the freedom of the citystreets from 16:00 on the Green Point FanWalk to enjoy the variety of food, crafts andspecial childrens’ activities on offer.The streets will be closed for final prepa-

rations at 18:00, giving Carnival-goersenough time to find the perfect viewingspot or make their way to one of the manyrestaurants along the Fan Walk before themagic begins at 19:00.An explosion of fireworks at 19:00 will

mark the start of the parade, with over 2000dazzling costumed performers and musi-cians entertaining viewers with magicalfloats and vibrant dance routines.V The carnival will take place on Saturday 14 Marchfrom 16:00 at the Green Point Fan Walk. Entry is free.

Numerous creatures of the deep are represented in this year’s theme,

ECD CENTRES

Little onesto benefitNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A programme to empower womenwill also result in upgrading dayca-re facilities.

The Grow with Mayazi Educareproject launched an Early Child Devel-opment (ECD) centre in Maitland on Fri-day 27 February.

The project aims to uplift mothers andwomen running small daycare centresby offering upgrades as well as training,which allow the owners to become fran-chisees of the project, explains spokes-person Aniela Batschari.

“This then turns a small backyardday-care into a business that financially sup-ports the teacher and allows her to in-crease formal employment through thehiring of additional staff.

“The standard of education, facilitiesand curriculum is improved and theschool can then become registered,” shesays.

Once this happens, children at theschool who qualify for a grant fromthe social development department willreceive it, which assists the parent bysubsidising the fee payable at the school,Batschari says.

Maitland educare teacher YaziweNdzakana says her school is able to ac-commodate 30 pupils now that the build-ing has been renovated.

Ndzakana was also assisted to registerand given training.

“I’ve now been able to hire two teach-ers to help me,” she says.

Ndzakana’s educare centre is thesmallest of the group, with the project’stwo other schools catering for 60 and 90pupils respectively.

The size of the school is dependent onthe size of the premises, Batschari ex-plains.

Currently, there are an estimated 482unregistered ECDs in Cape Town, saysCity Mayoral Committee Member for So-cial Development and Early ChildhoodDevelopment Suzette Little.

“Legislation dictates that ECD centresare safe, healthy, child-friendly spaces.So we need to look at the physical infra-structure as well as aspects like ablutionfacilities, play space and so on,” she says.

“Even more importantly, however, isthe quality of care and education thechildren receive.”

Each franchisee is responsible for pay-ing a nominal once-off upfront deposit tobuy into the franchise and a furthermonthly franchise fee which is depend-ent on the size of the school, Batscharisays.

“This franchise fee covers repaymentof the initial investment, monthly finan-cial and educational mentoring andoversight, initial teacher training andongoing skills development.”

Vandalism to community facilities, while at-tempting tomake a point, only leaves local res-idents worse off.

The OR Tambo Community Hall in Khayelitshawas set alight at theweekend, after several childrensuffered food poisoning after an event at the facility.In a meeting following the incident, residents in-

volved in protest action over a housing develop-ment also sought clarity on their concerns.In the early hours of Sunday morning, the hall

was torched. This is just one incident of a communi-ty facility being vandalised.Each week, parks, sporting facilities, community

halls and public toilets are vandalised and damagedacross the city.While this might gain the perpetrator a quick

buck or make a political point, local residents arethe ones ultimately paying the price.In many suburbs, gang violence is a daily occur-

rence and children have few safe diversions.Community facilities provide a safe space for the

youth to study, learnnewskills or takepart in extra-curricular activities.Denying them such opportunities will see more

children turning to crime or failing at school.These facilities are often the only place to meet,

compete in sport or relax with family and friends.When they are damaged, not only is the communi-

ty deprived of these activities, but the funds usedto repair those facilities are essentially wasted.If not put towards repairing damaged and vandal-

ised halls and parks, those funds could be chan-nelled toward improving infrastructure, buildinghouses and developing more community facilities.Isn’t it timeweall start treating community facili-

ties like the treasures they are?

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Caution

Every drop mattersIt is difficult to imagine anything morevulnerable than a baby born premature-ly.Sometimes [they are] so tiny that they

can lie inside the palm of your handoutstretched.Where nature would have it cradled

against the warmth of a mother’s breast,this child must seek comfort, nourish-ment and company from tubes andmonitors. As it draws its first breath it isalready in the midst of the fiercest battlefor its existence it is likely to ever know.When it comes to nutrition for babies,

quite simply nothing compares to breast-milk. The scientific evidence underpin-ning this fact is undisputed, and unfortu-nately we have not been able replicatethis wonder food in our laboratories.While formula milk is at best an ade-quate replacement for healthy babiesborn at full term, the range of complica-tions and development challenges facedby premature babies renders “laborato-ry” nutrition ineffective at increasing

their survival rate and future healthpotential. To complicate matters further,many of these vulnerable infants in theWestern Cape do not have access tobreastmilk from their mothers.It is at this point that Milk Matters

steps in to make a lifesaving interven-tion. As a community-based Milk Banksituated in the heart of Cape Town, MilkMatters sources breastmilk from healthyand screened donors, ensuring that theseinfants have less risk of disease, inparticular sepsis and necrotising entero-colitis, ultimately enabling the babies toreturn home sooner.Human Milk Banking Week which

takes place the first week of Marchaffords Milk Matters the opportunity toexpress our gratitude to the hundreds ofvolunteers and community members whoensure that these vulnerable infants haveaccess to breastmilk every single day ofthe year – from the freezers of donor-mother homes to the 18 depots aroundthe province to their final destination at

Mowbray Maternity Hospital. What isclear is that Milk Matters depends on anentire community structure to do itswork: the grandparents, aunts, unclesand in-laws who transport our preciouscommodity from as far afield as Worces-ter and Langebaan.Of course, none of what we do is

possible without the mothers who spenda lot of extra time expressing theirbreastmilk, an activity never eagerlyanticipated or fondly regarded. Whetherit is a one-off donation or donating forover a year every drop of milk counts tothe most vulnerable of our population.It is sometimes impossible to quantify

the true benefit of support given toorganisations that assist the country’smost vulnerable and needy. However, forMilk Matters support translates into avery measurable benefit: every drop ofextra breastmilk we can supply canliterary make all the difference.If you have any breastmilk to donate

or would like to contribute in otherways, please contact Milk Matters [email protected] or 021 659 5599.

passed a law stating that drivers mustpass cyclists with a minimum of 1m andit is time that drivers adhere to the lawor be prosecuted.Drastic action needs to be taken by the

provincial government to enforce this lawto keep cyclists alive.The fatal accident appears to have been

caused by a bus forcing the cyclist intothe pavement where he fell and wassubsequently crushed by a constructiontruck.Several PPA members have reported

via social media channels of beingnarrowly missed by buses on this partic-ular stretch of road where road worksare currently taking place.“There is no road shoulder, yet the bus

drivers seem to just plough through atfull speed without even the slightestdeviation to give cyclists some room,”one comment reads.The time has come for bus services –

and indeed all companies that use largevehicles – to educate their drivers aboutthe vulnerability of cyclists, pointing outthat they are breaking the law in theWestern Cape by not passing at (at least)1m.In memory of the deceased and in

protest of the unnecessary deaths ofcyclists on our roads, the PPA will beplacing a ‘ghost bike’ at the spot wherethe fatal accident occurred during thePPA Safe Cycling ‘Stay Wider of theRider’ Awareness Ride on Saturday 28February.The PPA just heard of another fatal

accident on the notorious Clovelly/KalkBay Main Road where it seems a com-muter on his way to work was fatallyinjured.

The new law in the Western Cape isquite clear that a driver of a motorvehicle, who passes a cyclist on a publicroad, must exercise due care whilepassing the cyclist; leave a distancebetween the motor vehicle and the cyclistof at least 1m; and maintain that distancefrom the cyclist until safely clear of thecyclist.Statistics show that almost all cycling

fatalities on our roads are caused bycyclists being hit by a motor vehicle frombehind or when a vehicle underestimatesthe speed of a cyclist and turns in frontof the cyclist.Cyclists have almost no protection

when they are involved in an accident, soby giving them adequate space on theroads, motorists can avoid accidents thatcan cost precious lives. The road is foreveryone’s use, so let’s show toleranceand respect for one another.

IMPROV THEATRE

Whose line is it now?Cape Town’s award-winning, most-loved

improv company, Improguise, bringsthe art of spontaneity to life with com-

pelling unscripted theatre every Mondaynight at the Galloway Theatre.Each show is unique, as the actors use au-

dience suggestions to create scenes and sto-ries, with hilarious and surprising results,very similar to the popular TV series,Whoseline is it anyway?.

Rigorous trainingImproguise has been entertaining South

storytelling techniques and spontaneity, tokeep sparks of creativity constantly flowing.Without a script or plot to guide them, team-work, inspiration and instinct take centrestage.

Expanded rangeIn recent years, the company has expa-

nded its range beyond the competitiveThea-treSports short scenes and comedy gamesformat, and introduced “long-form” improv,making up full-length plays, documentariesand musicals. They’ve even gone as far asto improvise a 15-hour “Soap-a-thon” in aidof Rape Crisis.The Galloway Theatre is Cape Town’s ne-

west fringe venue. The intimate 70-seater

that was once a chapel, is situated in PortRoad.Improguise is the theatre’s resident act for

Royalties paid outThe Performers’ Organisation of SouthAfri-ca Trust (Posa) has started the distributionofNeedletime rights royalties to artistswho-se tracks have been used by music users.This brings to anend the longwait forhun-

dreds of South African featured artists andsession musicians waiting to receive royal-ties for their recorded performances.Posa distributes the rights on behalf of re-

cording artists who are represented by Sam-ro. The first distribution, for 2009 royalties,was done on 23 December 2014. Subsequentdistributions, for the years between 2010 and2012, were done in January and February.This followed the agreement reached in

September 2014 between Posa and Sampraon the sharingofNeedletimerights royalties

between record companies and performersfeatured in the tracks that were used bymu-sic users. Pfanani Lishiva, Samro executivegeneral manager: rights holder services,says that the amounts that have not yet beenprocessed and distributed are those belon-ging to tracks that have not been registeredwithPosa. Posahasbeen tracingandcontac-ting the relevant featured artists.“It is also important to state that the Sam-

ro board of directors and the Posa board oftrustees took a decision that, for these distri-butions, Posa would not charge any admini-stration fee. This means that nothing hasbeen deducted from the performers’ royal-ties,” said Lishiva.V Visit www.samro.org.za for more information.

sion encounters.Igugu Lekapa replaced Milano United in

the match. In the 85th minute, Ndiviwe Nda-buka levelled matters for Vasco, however,the home side regained the lead aminute lat-er through Mthokozisi Msomi, whosnatched the victory.

On Saturday, Eezy My Kinnes failed tohold on to maximum points against Garan-kuwa United, despite taking the lead on twooccasions and dominating the match.

Nasief Morris opened up the scoring forMilano in the 22nd minute with a delightful35-yard strike from a dead-ball situation.

Mzondi Mthombeni levelled matters for

the visitors shortly before the break fromthe penalty spot, but Milano regained thelead a minute later when Morris converteda penalty at the other end.

In the 68th minute, Garankuwa werehanded their second penalty of the match,to which Mthombeni calmly slotted home toonce again level the scores at 2-2.

Santos are yet to claim their first win forthe year and lost 2-1 to Royal Eagles at theKing Zwelithini Stadium.

The annual 10 km BigWalk just gets big-ger and bigger and the 16th edition heldon Sunday was no different.

More than 20 000 people of all ages took tothe streets of Cape Town for the Big Walkwhich came to a close at the Green PointTrack. Walkers were spurred on by enthusi-astic crowds of cheering supporters on a daymarked by sunshine, excitement and cama-raderie.People’s Post is the media partner of the

walk.“We were delighted to see another fantas-

tic turnout to the event this year. This isWil-lowton Group’s fourth Big Walk sponsor-ship and the inaugural event title sponsor-ship for the Sunfoil brand,” said ShoaibMoosa, sales and marketing director of theWillowton Group.There has been a steady increase in num-

bers since the event started 15years agowithmore than 7 560 competitors and it has be-come an annual highlight of Cape Town’ssporting calendar both for those who com-plete the course and those who come alongto support their friends and family mem-

bers.“There is no doubt that it meets a commu-

nityneedand it is obviouswhy ithasbecomeso popular. It is a professionally run eventthat gives active, health-conscious peoplethe chance to combine some hearty exercisewith a fun day out with family and friendsamid beautiful scenery. The atmosphere ofpositive energy and relaxed social interac-tion is clearly attractive to people of allages,” Moosa said.“At the same time, all those takingpart are

helping others less than fortunate thanthemselves because the Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital is a major beneficiary of theevent,” Moosa said.Doctor Elias Parker, the walk’s sponsor-

ship manager said: “It has been an absolutehonour and privilege to once again be giventhe opportunity to present to our people thismega-social sporting event. It is indeed a re-flection of the sterling support that the eventhas attracted, that resulted in the City ofCape Town accrediting the Sunfoil 10kmBigWalk as the third biggest social sportingevent on its calendar.”
