A derelict building at Cape Town stationhas become a crime hotspot, say localpolice.

Cape Town Central Police spokespersonCaptain Ezra October says cases of robber-ies have spiked as vandalism and vagrancyincrease at the property.Theft out of vehicles and drug use have al-

so increased, he says.Commuter Shakirah Salie has been

mugged in the area, and says the state of thebuilding makes her feel unsafe.“It is a concern. People are forced to walk

past the property on their way to the stationandmany people disembark from taxis nearthe building,” says Salie.Mlamleli Mqamkana, who works near the

building, says he often sees street peoplesleeping in the building.“It’s really dirty inside. People use it as a

toilet and there is a lot of drug use in the ar-ea, but I haven’t noticed anyone beingrobbed,” says Mqamkana.Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa’s

Corporate Real Estate Solutions (PrasaCres) regional manager Lindelo Matya saysthe property has been vacant since 2009.“This facilitywas decommissioned in 2009

in anticipation for [a] 2010 upgrade. Howev-er, due to budget constraints, the upgradewas put on hold and the facility was closedoff. The quality of the facility was not meet-ing the standards of those to be used for thecommuting public,” says Matya.Numerousproposals for the site havebeen

considered, Matya adds.“Prasa has had many proposals on this

property, but was limited in consideringthese due to land use and transport issuesrelated to the deck. Prasa is looking at up-grading this facility primarily for its ownuse at the short-term, with a view of sortingout the transport and land use issues in themedium- and long-term. The facility is alsoearmarked as a terminal for the future air-port rail link,” he says.But while the building has been closed off

to the public and is fenced in, it is currentlybeing stripped.It was broken into and vandalised to the

state it is, he says.“The building is being stripped to an ex-

tent that it would cost more to restore it. Itis also inviting the unwanted vagrant ele-ment who find this to be a suitable shelterwithin the station precinct,” continuesMatya.Prasa’s asset protection unit has stepped

up their vigilance in ensuring this site re-

mains closed off and protected from furthervandalism, Matya adds.“It is unfortunate that Prasa has to allo-

catemore resources to keep off vagrants andvandals. Help is also being sought from thepolice,” he says.But October says more needs to be done

by the property owner.“More security staff are needed to secure

and protect the premises,” says October.He would also like to see the premises se-

cured with proper fencing.Matya explains: “Prasa is again looking at

possible fencing or cordoning off measuresto restrict access into this area.“But in the meantime the building will be

cleaned of the rubble and security will bebeefed up.”

MODIFIED CAR SECTOR IN UPROAR

Proposed regulation ‘is ridiculous’CHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Proposed regulations to clamp down on“illegalmodifications and illegal rac-

ers” seem to have had a false start.The new regulation, made public two

weeks ago and which are to be added to theTraffic Regulations Act, caused an uproaramong the motoring fraternity. The pro-posed regulation seeks to “impose stricterfines on illegal racers and cars that aremodi-

fied”, says a media release.Enthusiasts are now banding together to

take a stand against the proposed regula-tion.Meanwhile City of Cape Town safety and

security mayco member JP Smith said histeam will impose stricter fines on driversfound guilty of taking part in illegal races.He saidmedia reports that he andhis team

“plan to target drivers of modified vehicles”are “worryingly inaccurate”.“For the record, the City’s Traffic Service

is mandated to enforce the provisions of theNational Road Traffic Act No. 93 of 1996.[This is] a national piece of legislationwhichstates that anymodification of or tamperingwith a vehicle’s safety design renders the ve-hicle unroadworthy unless it is done by themanufacturer or a registered body builder,”Smith says.But car enthusiasts and the after-market

industry wants clarity on what this regula-tion will mean in practical terms.Cape TownCar Enthusiasts (CTCE) repre-

sentative Kersten Greybe says confusionhas many motorists driving in fear.“People are scared to even just drive their

cars to the corner shops since the announce-ment. Nobody knowswhat is happening andno answers have been given and we need toknow exactly what this means for the CapeTown car culture,” she says.Greybe says more people in the modified

car circle are selling their cars. “People areopting to sell their cars because they don’twant criminal records or to pay steep finesthat may land them in court eventually. Theproposed [regulation] is ridiculous and willnever work.”She agrees it is good to clamp down on ille-

gal racing as it “endangers the car culturein the province”. “Clamping down on illegalracers I can understand as they are a hazardon the road. But to paint everybody with thesame brush is horribly unfair.”She adds that manymotorists take part in

events at Killarney Raceway, but immedi-ately after events “we find ourselves in aroadblock, just outside the venue. What isthe point of practising your sport legally butyou’re victimised anyway?”She started an online petition to prevent

the proposed regulation being passed. At thetime of the interview she represented 20 000motorists.“We want our voices to be heard. For too

long we have been underdogs and we havenow decided to educate ourselves with re-gard to the proposed [regulation]. We aren’tartists with canvasses so our masterpiecesare our cars,” she says.Interpretation of and enforcing the letter

of the law is also at issue. Online posts havebeen buzzing with incidents of clampdowns.Ghost Squad officers have, meanwhile,

been fining drivers of modified vehicles andeven confiscating their car licence discs.Two drivers, in a post on Facebook, were

en route to Killarneywhen theywere arrest-ed for allegedly speeding. The officers alsotook their car licence discs. One driver was

fined R4000 for “inconsiderate driving andwheelspinning”.He posted that an officer said he would

“make an example of us because we are thepeople talking bad [sic] of themon socialme-dia”.He posted: “We spent our legal race night

with real criminals. TheGhost Squad officerdid everything in his ability to lock us upalthough the police at the police station didnot want him to do so because of the pettyoffence.”But Smith maintains the City’s law en-

forcement agencies “enforce the provisionsof these nationally mandated regulations”.Anothermotorist, who does notwant to be

named, says the proposed regulation isdoomed.“It will never work,” he says. “They ha-

ven’t thought this through. Themotoring in-dustry is huge and understandably peopleare in uproar. We feel victimised and haveno clarity as Smith changes his story everyother day.”He says he is afraid to drive his car any-

where because the Ghost Squad is instillingfear in drivers.“I had lots ofmodifications done tomycar,

so it may perform better. I spent a lot of timeand money on it only to now not be sure ifI candrive aroundwith it as theGhost Squadhas been targeting modified cars since therelease of the article a week ago.”

Registered tuner shops say they fear theafter-market industry will be under threatshould the bylaw impose stricter laws onanybody with a modified vehicle.Yaseen Abrahams, of CPi Performance In-

novation Cape Town, says they are “highlyconcerned”with theoutlawingof carmodifi-cations.“CPi only engages in legal modification of

cars and ourwork is of the highest standard.Outlawing modifications will have a hugeimpact on the industry. Surely if individualsabide by the law it is their right to modifytheir cars as they wish,” Abrahams says.The regulations are to be in effect inApril,

but Smith adds the enactment of the regula-tions is the responsibility of the provincialtransport division.“The City has lobbied for the inclusion of

impoundment of vehicles where owners arecaught participating in illegal street races,steep vehicle release fees to act as a furtherdeterrent, stricter penalties for motorists(including prison terms) especially thosewho try to evade the law when confrontedand suitable penalties for spectators at ille-gal street races to be included in the Act,”says Smith, who adds fitments by registeredafter-market tuners are legal if the properprocess has been followed.V What do you think the City should do to clamp downon illegal racers?

Proposed new regulations to stamp out illegal racing have been met with disbelief by themodified motoring fraternity. Many claim it will be difficult to enforce and say they’re beingvictimised because of the assumption that modified cars are used in illegal races.

BO-KAAP

Taking on the CityNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The Bo-Kaap Civic Association is plan-ning legal action against the City ofCape Town, following the closure of a

community facility.Association chairperson Osman Shaboo-

dien says they have consulted attorneys aft-er community organisations were evictedfrom a hall in Strand Street.The hall, at the Ross Auto Works building

next to the Strand Street Quarry, housed theGoodhope Entertainers, a women’s groupand a touch rugby team.But an alleged disagreement between the

Goodhope Entertainers and the City hasseen all the organisations evicted from thehall.In the early 1990s, the City entered into a

precarium agreement with the GoodhopeEntertainers allowing them temporary useand possession of the property at no cost,says finance mayco member Ian Neilson.

“Theywere responsible for thewater, elec-tricity andmaintenance of the property. Theproperty was being used for residential pur-poses by the lessee and in 2012 the City pro-ceeded with giving notice; subsequent legalaction resulted in an eviction order in 2014.TheCity has provided alternative accommo-dation to those affected,” he says.Goodhope Entertainers head Rashaad

Adonis says the club was under the impres-sion they had a lease for 99 years, based ona verbal agreement.

The organisation has been practising inthe hall for almost three decades, and it hasbeen used for community meetings and asa madrassa, Adonis says.He believes the organisations were evict-

ed to make way for amore profitable tenant.“We have no venue to practice and we

would love to get our place back. We’re notfinished with council. We picketed in De-cember. The hall belongs to the Bo-Kaapcommunity,” he says.City law enforcement has reserved the

building and is using it as an operationsbase, Neilson says.But Shaboodien believes the eviction of all

the organisations is unjust.“We feel the process didnot do justice.One

organisation does not equal the whole com-munity. It feels like a collective punishmentis being applied over one organisation’stransgression,” he says.

67 BLANKETS FOR MADIBA

Knitwits justkeep on clickingMAGRIET THERON

@magrietron

“Mymother is 91 and, despite arthri-tis, she started knitting blanketsfor the 67 Blankets for Madiba

drive and it has given her a new lease onlife, says Terry Milne from Fish Hoek. “Shecould not be here today, because she is sofrail; she’ll get blown over by the wind.”Terry spoke to People’s Post at a high tea

celebrating the first birthday of 67 Blanketsfor Madiba held in the Company Gardenson Tuesday 27 January. Since the launch ofthis cause in Johannesburg, it has gainedworldwide support, with more than 2000Facebook members who call themselvesKnitwits. Several groups in Cape Town co-me together regularly to make blankets forthe poor.And anyone can be aKnitwit. JohanBeet-

ge says he became so attached to the blankethe crocheted for months last year that heslept under it the night before he donatedit to the cause.Terry says: “Myhusband tookup looming

and he made an enormous blanket. He is aperfectionist and has become proficient inthe qualities of wool, so 67 Blankets has be-come an entire industry in our household.”She is also involved with a group of wo-

men in Masiphumelele who knit squaresand she teaches children at primary schoolsto loom and knit as part of their life skillscurriculum. These squares are then sewntogether by volunteers to make blankets.Theoriginal aimof the 67Blanketsproject

was to make that number of blankets tohand over to charity on Mandela Day in2014. But that numberwas exceeded byhun-dreds.Now they are taking the challenge to the

next level, because, says Bryoni Dawson,the Cape Town ambassador, people will al-ways need blankets.Carolyn Steyn, the driving force behind

the project, says: “We are on deadline. Weneed 21 000 blankets from all around SouthAfrica to place at the feet of Madiba’s statueat the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Tues-day 21 April, to celebrate our 21 years of de-mocracy.”Bryoni adds: “Even inmates inZonderwa-

ter and Diepsloot prisons are knitting.”She says up to now this drive has grown

into a huge outpouring of goodwill.Cathy Dippnall, of Fish Hoek, says: “We

are a group of six women who get togethertwice a month to consolidate, bring donati-ons, share out and knit. We socialise andtalk about other projects we want to do.“Most of the women in our group did not

know each other before 67 Blankets was es-tablished and now we have become closefriends.”There are a lot of very enthusisatic peo-

ple, says Cathy. There are groups across allthe suburbswhomeet everyweek, get spon-sorhips and deliver.Charmaine Damstra from Plumstead is

already working on her eighth blanket forthis year. “Our groupmeets every lastWed-nesday of the month from 19:00 to late, oruntil all the champagne is finished. We getvery thirsty; it’s hard work you know,”Charmaine says, with a wink.Florence Reddy fromGrassy Park agrees.

“This project is like a bug that bit us andwe cannot get rid of it. Housework and coo-king have become secondary. I takemy cro-chet everywhere I go, and if I can’t take italong, I won’t go.”V Visit the 67 Blankets for Madiba Facebook page tobecome involved or donate wool.

City beaches rewardedCape Town has been ranked by National

Geographic as the world’s second-bestbeach city in their latest Top 10 list.

Described as “the African capital of cool”,Cape Town was ranked higher than destina-tions such as Hawaii and France.Special mention was made of the beauty

of Atlantic Seaboard beaches such as Clift-on. Muizenberg Beach has also been listedin the top 10 beaches in the world by Nation-al Geographic.The City of Cape Town is incredibly proud

and honoured by the accolade given to itsbeaches, says Mayoral Committee memberfor Community Services and Special Pro-jects Belinda Walker.

“TheCity is in the fortunate position of be-ing surrounded by incredible natural beau-ty situated on a coastline that stretches fromSilwerstroomstrand along the West Coast,around the peninsula where our two oceansmeet, to Kogel Bay in the east,” saysWalker.Over 80 beaches provide a variety of recre-

ational activities, says Walker.These include sports such surfing, kite-

boarding, boatingand fishing, aswell as oth-er activities such as dog-walking, overnightaccommodation, nature viewing, other tour-ist opportunities or just relaxing at thebeach.“Sustainable environmentalmanagement

is implementedby theCity to ensure that the

coastal ecological integrity is maintainedwhile catering for over a million visitors.This is achieved through education and en-vironmental awareness campaigns whichinclude theBlueFlag programme,” she says.Wildlife and Environment Society of

South Africa (Wessa) spokesperson MorganGriffiths says the accolade has been earned.“It is well-deserved recognition of the ded-

icated efforts by the staff of the City to im-prove water safety, beach facilities, securityand importantly sea water quality at itsmany stunning beaches.”Wessa commended the City for using this

programme to champion its coastalmanage-ment and community development goals.

A boost for thegentlemen’s gameSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

Local sports stars are givingback to primary schoolsin the Western Cape in a big way.At the official launchof the JP21project inMitch-

ell’s Plain, Proteas cricketer JP Duminy expressed hisexcitement and passion for the game and giving backto his community.Established in 2014, the project is based on a real com-

mitment in re-igniting the passion and drive for thegame of cricket in underprivileged communities andschools.With the focus on the 54 primary schools inMitchell’s

Plain, 30 schools are already participating in the pro-gramme.“This project andwhat it stands for is something very

close to my heart,” Duminy said.“Being someone who has come from the community

and having lived in the community, I understand theneed for rolemodels in this community and that is whyI started this project.”Duminy has funded the project in conjunction with

numerous sponsors and also has backing fromWesternProvince Cricket.Nabiel Dien, Amateur Cricket Manager for Western

Province Cricket, thanked and congratulated Duminyon the official launch of the project.“Thank you JP for bringing back to the community,”

Dien said in his speech.“I’ve known JP since he was 11-years-old and I am

not surprised at all that at the values he has grown upwith and he realises how important it is for us to bringback to the community so that out of Mitchell’s Plainanother Protea cricketer can be born in the distant fu-ture.”Dien also made mention that Duminy has pledged to

sponsor one or two pupils from the project to attend theNewlands Cricket School which was launched twoweeks ago.President of Western Province Cricket, Beresford

Williams, sayshe is equally excited about the initiative.“Congratulations on this project and this great initia-

tive. It is a true privilege to be part of this and be in-volved with you. Everyone knows JP as the icon andon the world stage he is among the very best in theworld, but one thing I have come to know about JP isthat he is a humble young man and today he is puttinghis work into action, making a contribution, makingan investment and giving back and creating opportuni-ties for other young people,” he said. The project willbe aimed at both boys and girls and schools have al-ready come on board.Jamaine Cloete, Natheer Wagner, Mark Wille and

AmienKaderwill run the initiative as project coordina-tors while Duminy is away for work.Cloete says this will not influence the children’s re-

sults. “We want this project to serve as a reward forhard work,” he says.Protea cricketers Robin Petersen and Faf du Plesiss

have also pledged their support in becoming ambassa-dors for the project.The core purpose of the project is to improve the state

of cricket in schools and they hope to roll the projectout to high schools within a few years.The team aims to start by empowering teachers, revi-

talising cricket facilities at schools, establish recog-nised and formal leagues, to provide schools withequipment, improve social interaction with learnersusing external service providers, building partner-ships with various stakeholders, fundraising pro-grams, holiday programs and winter nets. The projectwill also be rolled out to other areas in the future.V For more information visit their website www.jp21project.co.za.

Cape Town Stadium

Cullen, Breytonback on fieldPlaying 10-man rugby has always beenfrowned upon here in the Mother City.But the Cape Town Tens that will be

playedonFriday 6 andSaturday 7Februa-ry at Hamiltons Rugby Club in GreenPoint, promises tobeanythingbutboring.For starters, the five players that are

taken out of the game are completely ab-sent and not the victims of an over-eagerflyhalf, thus the game is played with onlytenplayers and follows the rules of Sevensrugby.This leaves much more room on the

field, which makes for entertaining rug-by, especially if you include All Blackslegends like Christian Cullen and CarlosSpencer.At 38 and 39 respectively, they are not

youngsters anymore, but the attacking in-stincts are still there.The same goes for former Boks Bob

Skinstad and Robbie Fleck who are thefounders of the rugby festival that wasfirst staged in 2009.Other members of the Legends team in-

clude former Boks JamesDalton, BreytonPaulse and Butch James.It is clear that the Cape TownTensmust

be seen as both a social and rugby gather-ing given the fact that former Proteas cap-tain Graeme Smith and the Cape Cobrasplayer, Justin Kemp, are the teammanag-ers of the Legends team.Smith and Kemp will conjure up “tacti-

cal plans”and will “give advice”.– Translated from Die Burger
