KLOOF NEK

Street people fenced offNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A project to curb anti-social behaviouron Kloof Nek is set for completion thismonth.

Fencing will be installed around the roadreserve at the intersection of Burnside Roadfollowing numerous complaints of drinking,fighting and littering on the site, says wardcouncillor Dave Bryant.“At night this area has become quite dan-

gerous and there have been quite a few com-plaints,” he says. “The buttress has createda perfect wind break and is frequented bystreet people.”The area has been inhabited by street peo-

ple who are sleeping there permanently,erecting structures, washing and leaving be-hind litter, Cape Town Community PoliceForum chairperson Nicola Jowell says.“There are reports of drugs beingused and

sold. Alcohol is being consumed and oftenthis leads tonoise disturbances, fighting andother anti-social complaints. People livingon the streets are also vulnerable them-

selves to crime and in recent weeks we haveseen a definite trend where they are becom-ing the victims of crimes such as assault,rape and murder,” she says.There is also a concern that the presence

of people living on the streets increases thecrime in the area – suchas car break-ins,ma-licious damage to property and muggings,Jowell says.“Thesemay be as a result of the people liv-

ing there or because it enables criminals tocome into the area and pretend to be part ofthe group living there.“We also know thatmany of the people liv-

ing there attempt to earn a living as carguards and this is not a legitimate practice,”she says.People frequenting the nearby restau-

rants are having to walk back to their carsat night and are often aggressively ap-proached and may have people demandmoney for car guarding, Jowell explains.“Many residents are concerned to be out

at night here. There is also a significant im-pact from the litter and general grime thatcan result when people are living in a place

without any of the required services,” shesays.A number of interventions have taken

place to assist street people living at the site,Bryant says.“A social worker has been there on many

occasions. While she has managed to help afew people, many refuse to move to sheltersor accept help,” he says.The constant public nuisance reports

have become a drain on law enforcement,Bryant says, prompting the steps to securethe site.However, street people living on the site

say they are not to blame for the public nui-sance.“People come fromother areas to fight and

steal here,” says resident Kevin Daniels.“We will have to find somewhere else to

stay if they fence this area. It’s a convenientplace for us, and we feel safe here becausethere are no gangsters.”Daniels says he chooses not to stay at a

shelter because there is no certainty that hewill get a space there.“Sometimes they push you around as

well,” he adds.Jowell urges caution in hastily erecting

fencing.“The fencing off of an area should really

be viewed as a temporarymeasure as it mayalleviate the problem in one space but willcertainly be dispersing it to another. Thearea has become a living space for a numberof individuals who are permanently sleep-ing there and for others who transientthrough. Sadly fencing becomes one of thequick fixes to alleviate the problem,” shesays.A pedestrian walkway runs around the

council property, explains Bryant, whichmeans pedestrians will not be inconven-ienced by the fencing.The road reserve was created after a

school bus accident in 2005 in which fivewerekilledandseveral injured,Bryant says.“Fencing the property will allow for alter-

native uses. Businesses could rent it to cre-ate a garden, for instance,” he says.The fencing will be funded from the ward

budget, in which R60 000 is allocated to fen-cing projects, Bryant says.

CITY RENTAL UNITS

Policy controls home fixesMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Non-payment, limited resources, lack offunding and high levels of theft andvandalism are the main issues

plaguing City of Cape Town rental units.The maintenance of these units across

Cape Town is often a bone of contention inmany communities but a new policy aims toaddress this by prioritising repair work.

Last week, the City released its draft com-

munity residential unit maintenance policyfor public comment.

According to the policy there are a rangeof issues affecting City rental units.

The Citymaintains 45 000 rental units and11 000 hostel beds.

ChallengesBenedicta van Minnen, mayoral committeemember for human settlements, says majormaintenance and upgrading is required dueto the age of rental units.

“Therefore there is generally not muchfunding left over for both operational (day-to-day) and capital (major upgrading) main-tenance work.”

VanMinnenexplains thehigh level of non-payment of rent by tenants also impactsfunding. The high incidence of vandalism,theft and abuse of municipal services infra-structure in these units is also a challenge.

She further explains gangsterism, vio-lence and associated illegal activities con-tribute to a dangerous and stressfulworkingenvironment for personnel. Mental andphysical health deterioration among staff isalso a challenge faced by the department.

MaintenanceResponding to questions about staff alloca-tions and the inspection of rental units, VanMinnen explains the public housingmainte-nance staff cannot conduct door-to-door sur-veys, but do high-level block assessmentsonce a year when the budget request is com-piled.

“The City relies on residents to report anyissues so that they can be addressed, espe-cially in terms of health and safety matters.The City also uses expanded public worksprogramme workers to assist where possi-ble.”

She says non-payment by tenants directlyinfluences the budgets and maintenancework that can be performed and affects thesustainability of the rental units.

“In terms of the policy, defaulting tenantsor occupants will not be assisted with main-tenance apart from matters relating tohealth and safety.”

She says there are various levels ofdefaulting tenants but the municipalityoften requests they make arrangements ifthey cannot pay.

“In general, payment levels vary between

40% to 42% across the city. It is importantto note that the collection rate in the alreadyupgraded units went up from 28% to 45%,”she adds.

FundingFor the 2014/2015 financial year, themunici-pality received a once-off lifetime renova-tion grant from national government whichallowed it to upgrade 7000 units at a cost ofR1.2bn.

Van Minnen explains those units may notaccess grant repair funding again and mustbe maintained by the City in the future.

“Therefore tenants must please pay theirrent to enable high levels of maintenance inthe future.”

On average, the municipality spendsR15m each year on day-to-day maintenancewhich addresses mainly health and safetyconcerns.

Van Minnen explains this maintenancedepends on what is allocated in the annualbudget. In the last financial year the depart-ment received R10.4m.

PolicyThe new draft policy categorises and priori-tises repairs to ensure that health and safetyrepairs are attended to first.

Van Minnen explains it also incentivisestenants to pay rent in order for the City todo maintenance.

The policy proposesmaintenance work bedivided into four categories which rangefrom “very high” priority to “low” priorityand according to levels.

For the first two levels, which are consid-ered “very high” or “high” priority, mainte-nance includes emergency repairs in theevent of a disaster, anything which poses ahealth risk, structural damage to a unit andelectrical repairs.

For the two lower levels, namely “medi-um”and“low”priority,maintenance coverswindows, ceilings, internal doors and locksand toilet seat replacements.

The comment period on the new policycloses on Thursday 30 April.V To view the draft policy visit www.capetown.gov.za.It is also available at subcouncil offices and libraries.For more information contact Cassandra Gabriel on021 400 5212 or [email protected].

DISTRICT SIX

Locals aim to speed up land claimsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The District Six working committee hasvolunteered to bolster the land claimsprocess.

The organisation maintains it can com-plete the entire verification process, whichcan take several years when carried out bythe department of rural development andland reform, in just one year.

Completing claimsEach claim goes through a very rigorousprocess of research, explains Land ClaimsCommission chief director Michael Wors-nip. Often claims are vague or incompleteand these first need to be completed beforethe commission can test if there was dispos-session according to the law.“That might not be a simple matter to de-

cide, because the act allows for disposses-sion because of racial practice as well as ra-cial legislation,” he explains.All the potential beneficiaries might not

have been accounted for, Worsnip says.“Sometimes people are deliberately and

wrongfully excluded. Resolving family dis-putes is often one of the key delays in theresolution of a claim,” he says.Then the commission tests the actual rela-

tionships, Worsnip explains.“Often getting people to produce their

identity documents is a major problem.Sometimes people are reluctant to producethem, because of this or that skeleton in thecloset,” he says.“Often people disappear, in which case we

need to put adverts in the press to try to con-tact them. Often there are disputes andsometimes there is fraud.”Resolving all these matters can take a

great deal of time and effort, says Worsnip.“It is thus impossible to say what the nor-

mal time for the verification and complianceprocess for a claim is. It could take an after-noon. It could take 19 years,” he says.

BacklogIn the previous land claims process, claims

were captured on paperwhich createdmanyinaccuracies or discrepancies, Worsnipsays.“Then there is the matter of capacity. The

office manages to settle, working optimallyand being far ahead of all the other officesin the country, around 250 claims in a year,”he says.To date, 15 000 claims have been settled.

There are 1000 outstanding.“Wehave a fairly small staff and the settle-

ment process requires very intensive stake-holder engagement. There is a queue andsome claims are in the front of the queue andsome towards the back,” he says.In community claims, the community rep-

resentatives are usually in the form of a

trust or a communal property association.These are always asked to assist with verifi-cation, Worsnip says.This is where the District Six working

committee hopes to step in.

VerificationWorking committee chairperson ShahiedAjam says the organisation has formally re-quested to be included in the process.“At this rate, it will take 20 years to final-

ise all the claims. Unresolved issues in othercommunity groups have held up the previ-ous process, and we want to avoid that,” hesays. The organisation is currently busywith a verification process through a door-to-door campaign in Hanover Park and

Mitchell’s Plain. Close to a thousand mem-bers have been verified this way, Ajam says.However, verification is only one step of

the land claims process, Worsnip says.Once claims have been verified, a complex

settlement process is carried out.A research report needs to be written up

and approved. Claimants are then given op-tions on how they would like to be compen-sated.“If they are eligible for, and choose devel-

opment, then there is the long process ofidentifying a piece of land, if restoration isnot possible,” Worsnip explains.“The process is necessarily a long one, be-

cause the matters are complex and involvea lot of hurt and a lot of emotion,” he says.

Eat, review to feed othersA local food website and magazine isteaming up with foodies to feed childrenat underprivileged schools.EatOut, primarily a online guide to din-

ing out in the country, also publishes amagazine focussing on South Africa’s top500 restaurants.

It is currently fundraising in aid of StopHunger Now SA.

The charity, founded in 2009, aims toend hunger in the country through educa-tion and feeding schemes.

The meals provided by Stop HungerNow SA are completely nutritionally bal-anced, with an enrichment supplement of23 vitamins and minerals specifically for-mulated to combat malnutrition. Thepackaging makes the product safe to storefor 12 months and meals are easy to pre-pare, requiring only water and 20 to 30minutes of cooking time.

The fundraising initiative waslaunched in November with an innova-tive consumer engagement tool on theEatOut website: every time a visitor posts anonline review, a meal is pledged to StopHunger Now SA.

A barometer on the website’s homepageindicates the number of meals pledged forthe current month, and a prize is awardedfor the best review of the month.

Over 1700 meals have been pledged todate, says editor Abigail Donnelly.

“We chose to partner with Stop HungerNow SA due to its holistic approach, par-ticularly with respect to early childhooddevelopment. We’re delighted that our au-dience has responded so positively.”

Fundraising diningNow a series of dinners will take place

to further raise funds.The first of these was hosted by award-

winning chef Reuben Riffel and Boschen-dalwinemaker LizelleGerber at Reuben’sat One&Only Cape Town last Thursday.

Stop Hunger Now SA CEO Saira Khansays: “We are very excited about this part-nership. In addition to Eat Out pledgingmeals for hungry children and youth,Stop Hunger Now SA appreciates the val-ue of the unique interactive dining eventsEatOuthas planned,which further assist-ance to support our objectives.”

CYCLING

Bike to moonNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A Capetonian has “travelled to themoon”.

Cycle activist Andrew Wheeldonhas travelled 384 400km, the distance be-tween our planet and the moon, on his bicy-cle – a feat he has been working on for overthree decades.

“When I am cycling, I have never feltmore alive. This is the crux of why I keepcycling mile after mile, year after year,” hesays.

Since 1 January 1984 Wheeldon has re-corded his cycling adventures, includingmany ultra-distance cycling events.

“The moon (as a concept) arose about sixmonths ago when a friend, on hearing of mytotal distance to date, mentioned that itsounded like it was close to the Earth-to-moon distance. So I looked it up, and it wasclose.

“From that point on, the moon missionbecame a central goal,” he explains.

Wheeldon completed the journey with atrip up Chapman’s Peak on Saturday.

“Chapman’s is perhaps the most iconicclimb in Cape Town, if not the most severe– but certainly one of the most beautiful,”he says.

“It has a special presence and is a signifi-cant part of the Cape Town Cycle Tour. Therecent fires which brought about a deeplyburnt facenowsomewhat resembles a lunarlandscape.”

The proximity to many of the areas inwhich local cyclists live makes the route anideal venue for the “moon landing”, Wheel-don says.

“As it will also be full moon on the daythat I reach themoondistance, itwill be per-fect for early evening sightings,” he says.

As a driving force in lobbying for cyclelanes across the city, Wheeldon hopes hisachievement will have a deeper impact onmany cyclists.

“My hope is that in some small way thiswill show other cyclists what indeed is pos-sible by bike – even if it takes 31 years, threemonths and four days to achieve!” he says.

“The places you really can get to, thesights you can see, the experiences you canhave – all is possible.”

Wheeldon also hopes to encourage moreCapetonians to take to the streets – onbikes,of course.

“If Cape Town, and SA for that matter, ex-periences an increase in the levels of cy-cling, we will witness greater health of ourpeople, less congestion on our roads, re-duced pollution levels, and greater under-standing,” he believes.

Cycling bridges all divides, Wheeldonmaintains.

“If we ride together to our places of inter-est, we meet and share stories as one. Weare in close contact and are able to talk andhelp one another – be it up hills or over ob-stacles. The bicycle journey connects us all,like no other journey can. It is for this rea-son that I continue to ride, and encourageeveryone else to join me,” he says.

Oasis for green educationNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Creating an educational environment isthe aim behind a Greenpop fundrais-ing initiative.

The non-profit organisation, whichplants trees at schools and runs educationalprogrammes on environmental conserva-tion, is hoping to launch an “eco educationhub” at its nursery in Woodstock.Greenpop has launched a crowdfunding

campaign to expand its nursery. This willsee a container installed at the MountainRoadproperty,whichwill be converted intoa workshop space, explains Greenpop fun-draising head Marleen Lammers.“The main thing we need is a container,

which we’ll upcycle into an awesome greenworkshop space with all necessary facili-ties,” she says.Once completed, the hub will be open to

pupils and the community.“We host regular skills-development

workshops for groundsmen and principalsfrom the schools that we have planted treesat as part of our urban greening.With theseworkshops, we focus on improving our par-

ticipants’ knowledge of urban greeningtechniques, such as vegetable production,fertilising and composting,” Lammers says.“We also plan on hosting regular school

groups at our eco hub, so that we can hostinteractive workshops that spread aware-ness of the importance of trees, of growingyour own food and of taking care of our en-vironment. We want greening to becomefun,” she says.“In addition to our envisioned education

centre, our tree nurseryneeds somegeneralTLC. We need further tools, water tanks,fences andmore seeds andplants,” she says.Contributing R100 will get your name in-

corporated into the artwork on the contain-er, with further rewards for bigger contri-butions.But if you don’t have money to spare,

there are a host of ways to get involved,Lammers says.“Wewould love in-kind donations too and

we host regular volunteer days at our nur-sery, where you can join to get your handsdirty and help make our nursery green andlush.”VVisit www.ripple.org.za/greenpop for more informa-tion.
