The church is best known as the venue for couples tying the knot on Valentine’s Day each year. Barely six months after the 2004 renova- tions, paint and plaster on the icon church started peeling. Water damage is now also evident in the interior of the building. Heritage consultant and historian Ronald Viney, in a series of articles for Heritage Por- tal, says the church was designed by the then Secretary to the Cape Government Sir John Bell in 1840. It was built by prisoners a year later. The first service was held on 10 Octo- ber that year. By the late 1960s predominantly Afrikaans speaking staff, along with the prison admin- istration, attended the church. It was changed from an Anglican place of worship to an interdenominational one. Planning the restoration and the survey of the church was started in 2000, explains Viney. “By the time the actual work started four years later some elements, like the main front doors, had deteriorated to the extent that they had to be completely replaced,” he points out. The restoration saw extensive repairs to the exterior, including plaster work and painting, repairs to the roof and floors as well as the installation of new windows. But six months after these major renova- tions, “paint and plaster began to peel due to poor workmanship by the contractor, who had used salt water instead of clean wa- ter in the plaster”, Viney says. On Robben Island, sea water is purified to supply fresh water to the island, he says. “At the time of the renovation, the purifi- cation plant was not operational due to re- pairs. The contractor was supposed to have shipped water from the mainland but opted to take a shortcut with dire results.” A decade later and the problem has yet to be addressed, Viney says. In February last year, chief executive of the museum, Sibongiseni Mkhize, reported the museum was the only major tourist at- traction in the province which had experi- enced a decline in visitor numbers in the previous December. This despite an in- crease in annual visitor numbers. The island would be looking to secure pri- vate funding, including from overseas, to boost resources, he said. Mkhize also said although maintenance fell on the shoulders of the Department of Public Works, the island would divert 15% of its own revenue to maintenance. However, shortly after, the museum took over all maintenance responsibility. “Robben Island Museum management has taken over maintenance of the island from the Department of Public Works in 2013, which failed to maintain its infrastructure. When writing the first Integrated Conserva- tion Management Plan in 2007 priority was placed on sites associated with political im- prisonment. However, the second manage- ment plan, completed in 2013, now looks at the island’s history in an holistic manner as a multi-layered cultural landscape.” But, Viney cautions, more needs to be done. Basic maintenance is not being car- ried out on the site, with the gutters not even cleared since the last maintenance in 2011. “The architect and contractor appear, in my opinion, to have absolved themselves of responsibility. Neither island management, heritage bodies nor government depart- ments appear to have taken the matter fur- ther on an iconic World Heritage Site. The church itself is in the tourist gaze,” he says. Cape Town Tourism CEO Enver Duminy says although Robben Island’s Garrison Church is not a top Cape Town attraction on its own, it is an important part of the overall Robben Island experience. “Tourist sites that run into disrepair paint a shabby pic- ture of destination Cape Town; it is impor- tant that we preserve and protect our herit- age and interest sites. Active care and con- tinued maintenance is critical to any attraction’s commercial viability,” he says.

FILM MAKING: CREATING ECONOMIC FREEDOM FOR FAMILIES
Lights, camera, actionNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A new initiative is allowing film schoolgraduates to follow their dreams.BigFish filmschool has created four
film production hubs to create employmentfor graduates, allowing them to supporttheir families. One such hub is in GreenPoint.The hubs followed on the opening of the
film school in Cape Town, says Big FishCEO Melanie Chait.“Some of the young filmmakers travel
from their homes to study, but want to re-turnhomeafterwards andbecome economi-cally independent. This is whywe also havehubs in the North West, Limpopo and East-ern Cape provinces,” she says.Recent graduate and productionmanager
ThandiswaTwecu says the six filmstudentsunderwent intensive business skills train-ing before opening the production companyearlier this year.“We are currently running on funding
from the European Union, which allowedfor start-up capital andour salaries for eight
months,” she explains.The small business has already taken on
projects, Twecu says.“We are already partnering with local
filmmakers. Our main business has comefrom promotional videos for corporate com-panies, but we are also involved in makingfilms forWorldDesignCapital 2014 andnon-profit organisations,” she says.However, the group has a distinct focus
on making films that speak to the youth,Twecu says.“We want to work on films that look at
youth and upliftment. We plan to make doc-umentaries that raise awareness and awak-en society to bring positive change,” shesays.The production company boasts several
award-winning film makers, includingTwecu and the hub’s director, Zolani Nde-vu.He says: “We know our stories best and
tell them best from the perspective of youngpeople. We speak to people and for people.”The employment opportunity has given
many of the young filmmakers a leg up thecareer ladder, Twecu says.“As graduates, starting up is not easy.
Nowwehave the support fromBigFish, likeamother supports her child. I feel very priv-ileged. It’s difficult to be independent as ayoung filmmaker because you need capitaland often people don’t trust young filmmak-ers who are just starting out. Now we havebeen endorsed by Big Fish,” she says.Big Fish started as anNGO to bring diver-
sity into the film industry through trainingyouth fromdisadvantaged backgrounds, ex-plains Chait.“In training new talent we saw the film
industry start to change and begin to tellnew stories. Most film institutions look tomake money. We’re different.”The school has since opened to fee paying
pupils, but funds are channelled back intoproviding quality training and scholar-ships, she says.

As the city prepares for a property andbasic services rates hike from 1 July,some residents claim the increase is
preventing integration in the CBD.Property rates are set to rise by 6%, elec-tricity by 7.6%, water and sanitation by 8%and solid waste by 5.9%.However, high property rates are makingit impossible for those with lower incomesto live in the city centre, says Bo-Kaap CivicAssociation chairperson Osman Shaboodi-en.“The rates projected for three years arewell above inflation and for those who haveto contend with the high property value inthe city, the rates are extremely steep. It’sfrightening for those who have lived hereforever,” he says.Other areas, with lower property values,pay less rates which make them a more af-fordable choice for families or lower-incomeearners, he says.“The rates are different for areaswith low-er valuations. We need a new system. Thecurrent one is not allowing integration inthe city centre,” he says.The valuation and rating of properties is
governed by national legislation, says Cityof CapeTown’sMayoral Committeememberfor Finance Ian Neilson.“The Municipal Property Rates Act, 6 of2004 requires that properties are valued atmarket value, defined as the amount theproperty would have realised if sold on thedate of valuation in the open market by awilling seller to a willing buyer,” he says.The market value of properties is estab-lished by gathering the sales data of actualproperty sales that have taken place and us-ing this information to calculate the valuesfor the properties. Property owners are pro-
vided with the opportunity to object to theproperty values as published in the valua-tion roll during the official objection period,Neilson says.“The rates billed for the current financialyear and the new financial year, starting on1 July, are based on the market value of allthe rateable properties in the municipal ar-ea as at 1 July 2012.”A few years ago, council encouraged resi-dents tomove into theCBD, says Long StreetRatepayers’Association spokespersonGeoffMadsen.However, a proliferation of nightclubshave since pushed those residents out, caus-ing a drop in property value, he says.“We need to address the issues associatedwith nightclubs such as noise and crime.Our property values have dropped by 45%in eight years. Added to that is increasedrates. People in areas like the Bo-Kaap mustreally be suffering as well as businesses,such as hotels which can’t fill their rooms.To over valuate in an area without consider-ing the residents living there is diabolical,”he says.Pensioners or those living in inheritedproperties are the hardest hit, says Shabood-ien.If the property owner has financial cir-cumstances that make it difficult to pay therates, they need to contact the City’s Reve-nue Department tomake the appropriate ar-rangements, Neilson says.“If a property owner is over 60 years old,they may quality for the senior citizens’ re-bate, depending on their income. For grossmonthly household incomes betweenR11 001 and R12 000, the rebate is 10%. Therebate percentage increases for lower in-comes till it reaches a 100% rebate for in-come of R3 500 and below. If a property own-er of any age is indigent, he/she can applyfor an indigent grant and provide the re-
quired financial statements,” he says.However, rates are not the sole contribu-
tor to inequality in the CBD, Neilson says.“The issue in the City Bowl area as far as
affordability is concerned is not driven bythe property rates, which are less than 1%of property value, but rather by the highmarket values for property. The City looksto provide additional property buildingrights in theCBD to encourage lowerproper-
ty prices. The rebates for senior citizens andindigent residents, as described above, willalso assist,” he says.The funds generated through rates will al-
low the City to provide free basic servicesto almost twomillion residents, create 36 000jobs through the Expanded Public WorksProgramme, deliver an improved publictransport system and infrastructure and de-velop housing opportunities.

HEATED BATTLE: A CHALLENGE OF ENDURANCE
Helmets off to toughest firefighter aliveDesigned to raise awareness and also to
make the city safer, the City of CapeTown’s Fire and Rescue Department
hosted an endurance competition to crown
the Toughest Fire Fighter Alive.On Friday 6 and Saturday 7 June more
than 120 firefighters fromacross the countrybattled it out at the Good Hope Centre to de-
termine the ultimate firefighter.The challenge is designed to promote pub-
lic awareness, increase firefighters’ fitnesslevels, and boost camaraderie and moraleamongst the different teams.Spectators were invited to the event and
to get a glimpse into the daily lives of theseheroes.Mayoral Committee member for Safety
and Security JP Smith says the competitionwas aimed at nurturing children’s dreams.
“So many children dream of being fire-fighters when they’re older. This showscourage and bravery. In what can some-times be a harsh social environment inwhich to grow up, it is critical that we nur-ture and encourage these dreams. That iswhat this event is all about,” he says.Each competitor took part in timed chal-
lenges testing their stamina. Smith says be-ing given the title of Toughest FirefighterAlive is an “extraordinary achievement”.
MAN ON FIRE: The trophy is handed over by Ian Schnetlerto the winner of the competition, Emile Conrad from theEden Municipality. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

@henryspoke
When he played his first match for theCape Cobras three years ago, DanePiedt never imagined that he would
be called up for the Proteas test squad to tourSri-Lanka this winter.
Off-spinner Piedt (24), a Lansdowne resi-dent, was instrumental in his franchise’sSunfoil Series win last season, boasting withmatch bowling figures of 7/97 and 92 runsin the first innings of his team’s final four-day match against in Lions in Johannesburgin April. He was also the tournament’s lead-ing wicket-taker, with 45 wickets in justeight matches.
The United Cricket Club member repre-sented South Africa during the EmergingPlayers Tournament against India, Austral-ia and New Zealand in Australia last year.
Last week Piedt was one of three SunfoilSeries Cricketer of the Season nominees atthe annual Cricket South Africa Awards.The award was eventually scooped by hisCobras teammate and captain, Justin On-tong. He will be part of the South African
squad to tour Sri-Lanka from Tuesday 6 toSaturday 24 July. The two sides will do battlein three One Day Internationals and two testmatches. The former Old Mutual CricketClub player spoke to People’s Post about be-ing selected for the Proteas squad.People’s Post: Coming from Lansdowne
and seeing the other young men in your areanot living out their talents, what inspiredyou to turn to sport? Why cricket?Dane Piedt: It’s the passion for the game
and what I’ve sacrificed to get where I am.I never wanted to throw that opportunityaway. I must admit that I was a soccer loverand wanted to play football as a professional,but fortunately over the years I grew closerto the game of cricket.PP:Who inspired you and where did it all
begin?DP: My parents inspired me over the
years. My dad used to throw cricket balls tome in the garden all day while I was growingup.PP: As a teenager watching Paul Adams
on television representing his country, whatrole does he play as your cricket coach?DP: Paul Adams has been with me since
I was 18 years old and knows my game betterthan anybody else. I like the fact that I canalways speak to him about anything.PP: When you got the call that you were
selected to the Proteas squad, who were thefirst people you told and how did you feel?DP:My parents! It was the best day of my
life. I still do not know how to react, it’s afeeling I cannot describe.PP: Who is the father figure in the Cape
Cobras team and why?DP: I think it would be Vernon Philander.
He has always been there for me and hassuch a big passion for the game.PP: What is your main focus for the Sri-
Lankan tour?DP: Right now it’s to have a successful
tour and to contribute to the team to the bestof my ability.PP: Do you have any words of wisdom for
youngsters from Lansdowne who will be fol-lowing your every step?DP: Just believe in your talents and skills
and never give up on your dreams. What Iachieved is a perfect example of dreams com-ing true.V Follow Dane on Twitter @dane–piedt63. Dane Piedt PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Hamiltons can take a major leap to-wards claiming the Super League A ti-tle when they host Helderberg at the
Stephen Oval on Saturday.South Africa’s oldest club kicked-off their
league campaign shortly after a heart-breaking loss in the semi-finals of the Com-munity Cup, but the disappointment seemsto have proved the perfect motivation.
Hammies have been ruthless in theleague this season, ensuring victories in allsix of their fixtures, regardless of their per-formance, and are one of just two undefeat-ed sides in the competition.
The Sea Point side currently hold fourthon the table with 28 points and at least onegame in-hand on all of the top three.
UCT currently lead the standings on 35points after eight games, while Maties aresecond on 32 points after seven fixtures andFalse Bay are third on 30 after eight games.
But with the top three all out of actionthis weekend, Hammies have the opportu-nity to make up ground.
Five points gleaned from another bonuspoint victory will push Hamiltons to 33points and second on the table.
After last Saturday’s 71-15 demolition of
bottom-placed NNK in Parow, few willdoubt Hammies’ ability to do just that.
SK Walmers are the next side to face NNKand should also cruise to victory at theGreen Point Track on Saturday.
NNK have lost all eight of their gamesthis season, conceding an average of 50points per game.
While Walmers are fifth with five winsand four losses. They should claim theirsecond win in a row on Saturday, after theyedged Tygerberg 22-21 away from home lastweek.
Primrose will look to avoid slipping intoa losing streak after last Saturday’s defeat,but will have to overcome much tougher op-position to do so.
Roses hosted False Bay at Rosmead lastweek, but home-ground advantage did notprevent the hosts from suffering a 46-36 vic-tory.
Primrose are 10th on the table, with 14points after two wins, a draw and five loss-es.
One Saturday they face ninth-placed Dur-banville-Bellville, who have racked up 14points after three wins and three losses.
Both sides have been inconsistent thisseason, but the fixture will be entertainingregardless of which team eventually wins.V All fixtures will start at 16:00.
