The Sea Point promenade may receivethe highest heritage grading. This if theCity of Cape Townmakes good on a rec-

ommendation that the popular open spacewill be graded as a 3A heritage resource.Aheritage impact assessment of the prom-

enade was recently carried out as part of amulti-million rand upgrade.The promenade has not been graded in the

past, says Brett Herron, mayoral committeemember for transport.“The heritage impact assessment pro-

posed that the promenade be graded as a

Grade 3A facility. This proposal was accept-ed by the City of Cape Town and we will cap-ture it on our heritage database as such,” hesays.However, the City is still waiting for the

comments and the record of decision fromHeritage Western Cape on the assessmentsubmitted to them, Herron says.Grading the promenadewill recognise the

environmental quality and cultural signifi-cance of the space, says Seafront for Allspokesperson Janey Ball.“In placing the promenade on the provin-

cial heritage register, it will formally recog-nise the great democratic space that thepromenade has become,” she says.

The promenade is a vital resource for resi-dents and visitors alike, says Derek Salter,outgoing chairperson of the Sea Point, Fres-naye and Bantry Bay Ratepayers’ Associa-tion.“We welcome any developments which

help to make people understand the impor-tance of this asset, its history as well as itsuse for today and into the future. The up-grade taking place at present is an ideal op-portunity tomake it aworld-class facility forgenerations to come,” he says.The grading will also establish a clear ba-

sis for official responsibility and public ex-pectation, Ball says.“We trust, when incorporated into the

City’s zoning scheme, that the promenade’sclassification will unequivocally protect thespace against commercial development,”she says.The assessment also suggested a heritage

management plan be drawnup for the prom-enade.Herron says this planwill be drawn up for

the promenade as soon as a heritage practi-tioner has been appointed for the job.The promenade is a “great cultural land-

scape which needs to be properly managedand protected”, Ball says.“A management plan will help define ap-

propriate activities and will facilitate moni-toring thereof,” she says.

TOURISM

By cable car from city to Signal Hill?A funicular, tram or cableway could

soon link the city centre to the noondaygunandSignalHill if Sanparkshas

a say.Such a “mechanical people mover” is on

the cards in a management plan it has draft-ed to boost tourism.Table Mountain National Park (TMNP),

managed by Sanparks, has released its draftmanagement plan for the next ten years. Thepublic is invited to comment on it.

Something oldA large portion of the plan is dedicated toboosting tourism numbers, which in turnwill fund conservation, heritage and constit-uency building.This entails upgrading a range of existing

tourist spots.First on the list for an upgrade is Boulders

Beach, which sees 650 000 annual visitors.Visits are growing by over 5% a year. Thevisitor facilitywill be redesigned to enhancevisitor experience and visitor flow, the planstates. Other upgrades include the board-walks, parking area and interpretive infor-mation.A proposed upgrade of Cape Pointmay see

infrastructure improvements to the roads,water pipeline and sewerage system, as wellas the visitor centre.The Rhodesmemorial sitemay also see in-

frastructure upgrades. An investigation isunderway to explore uses for the old zoo sitethere, which could serve as a “gateway” to

the Groote Schuur estate and the park.The Tokai Manor area is also in line for

upgrades, according to the plan. It proposesdeveloping the area into a “vibrant multi-purpose gateway to the parkwhere the envi-ronmental, cultural and social significanceof the area is celebrated through the restora-tion of [the Tokai Manor and surrounds]”.An upgrade of the Signal Hill and Tafel-

berg roads interchange is needed, accordingto the plan, which sees 1.2 million visitors.This would tie into new developments in theStrand Street quarry.

Something newTo improve access to Table Mountain, San-parks is currently investigating implement-ing a “mechanical peoplemover”whichwilllink theStrandStreet quarry to theLionBat-tery and Signal Hill. This could lead to arange of visitor facilities at the noonday gunand Signal Hill.The management plan also proposes to

make use of other quarries in the City Bowlfor a variety of “low-volume multi-useevents”.Silvermine is also set for development,

with the establishment of a picnic area onthe southern side of Silvermine Dam as wellas re-use of theGroot SilvermineHomesteadas a visitor site linked to Peers Cave and theSunbird Education Centre.The Silvermine Source-to-Sea project will

be implemented to rehabilitate the river sys-tems and promote recreational links be-

tween the urban environment and the park.The plan also looks atwaterways, with the

idea of linking the diversity of the terrestrialenvironment with that of the ocean throughthe establishment of a “marine gateway tothe Southern oceans”.“The purpose of this gateway would be to

promote the wonders of the ocean througha variety of marine-based research and ma-rine enforcement,” the plan states.A site for this gateway is still being identi-

fied.The plan serves as a reference to the man-

agement and development of the Park in itscurrent and envisaged future form.The plan includes information on the

background, biophysical context, desiredstate, management and programmes at stra-tegic and operational levels.V The full plan can be viewed on the Sanparks website.Public comment can be submitted until Saturday 9May.

State-owned power utility Eskom has re-sumed load shedding.And Eskom’s struggles to cope with elec-

tricity demand puts your computer equip-ment at risk. “PCs are sensitive to powercuts, power dips and power surges, so takethe necessary steps to protect them,” saysDaryl Blundell, general manager at SagePastel Accounting.“When Eskom cuts the power, you could

not only lose the latest changes to the filesyou’re working on, your open files could be-come so corrupted or damaged that you willnot be able to restore them,” he added.As a result, Blundell has offered five sug-

gestions on how South Africans can protecttheir computer equipment.

Regular backupsKeep your latest data backed up so that

you do not lose hours of work or any impor-tant information when the power goes out.Regular data backups are a must, not onlybecause of load shedding, they can also bea lifesaver if yourhard drive crashes or yourcomputers are stolen. If possible, invest inan offsite backup system.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)In the event of apower failure or load shed-

ding, a UPS gives users time to exit applica-tions they are working on and save theirworkbefore they safely shut down their PCs.A backup power inverter system is anoth-

er option.

Switch off all PC’s not performing criticalfunctionsAny data that is open on a PC is at risk

of being damaged or corrupted in the eventof a power failure. For that reason, you needto get into the habit of closing applicationsand shutting down desktop computers whenyou are not using them for a while.

Switch off PCs and unplug themTo reduce the risk of damage to hardware,

switch off your PCs and unplug them fromthemain power source when power cuts hit.Otherwise, power surges when electricity isrestored could damage your hardware.

Consider investing in a power bankA power bank can be invaluable for man-

aging your businesswhen there is load shed-ding. These portable chargers let you top upthe battery of your USB-powered mobile de-vices so you can keep going when there isa long power outage.– Fin24

Quarry toilet to be flushedVandalism to a vacant building in the StrandStreet quarryhaspromptedaproposalwhichwill see it demolished.The toilet block, which was formerly used

by sporting clubs at the quarry, has been un-used for some timeandhas becomeeasypick-ings for vandals.The property has been linked to crime,

with a 47-year-old woman stabbed and killedon the quarry slopes in 2013.The site has also become a popular dump-

ing spot, prompting the Green Point Im-provement District to carry out regularclean-ups at the site.Anwar Valley, Bo-Kaap Neighbourhood

Watch chairperson, says the quarry is beingused as an escape route for criminals and asecurity upgrade is needed.Belinda Walker, mayoral committee mem-

ber for community services and special pro-jects, says: “The toilet block at the StrandStreet quarry is currently not in use nor willit be in the future. Due to the lack of activity,the building has suffered recent spates ofvandalism,” she says.“To avoid it becoming a hotspot for vandal-

ism and crime, the City parks department iscurrently in the process of seeking approvalto have the building demolished.”However, the proposed demolition still

needs to be signed off through formal councilprocesses before a date for demolition can beset, Walker says.“Such a process involves consultationwith

the City’s law enforcement department, theproblem buildings unit, as well as approvalfrom the heritage resource management de-partment before a full council decision is tak-en,” she says.Ward councillor Dave Bryant says addi-

tional uses for the property are currently be-ing investigated and will be presented beforecouncil.Sanparks is currently carrying out risk as-

sessment feasibility studies to explore usingthe Strand Street quarry as a tourism gate-way to Signal Hill and the noon gun, whichhas a million visitors every year.The project may include the installation of

a funicular – a cable railway which pullstram-like vehicles up the rock face – or a ca-ble car similar to that on Table Mountain.

CITY CENTRE

Taxi deck closedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Maintenance to the station deck atthe Cape Town train station willsee taxis diverted to theGrandPa-

rade for six days.In order to carry out the maintenance

and repairs unhindered, public access tocertain areas will be restricted. No taxiswill be allowed onto the station deck un-til Thursday, when operators can returnto the taxi rank.

The station deck taxi rank dates backto 1996 when the roofscape of the CapeTown station opposite the civic centrewas used as a minibus taxi rank for thefirst time, explains Brett Herron,mayor-al committee member for transport.

“It is one of the city’s key taxi rankswhere thousands of commuters fromsuburbs across the city get into and outof their taxis. The City is investing ap-proximately R1m to improve the facili-ties at the station deck,” he says.

In a recent ward 77 committee forumconcerns were raised about the tempo-rary taxi rank, following a recent up-grade of the site and congestion causedby an upgrade to the Strand and Adder-ley streets intersection.

However,Herronassuresminimal dis-ruption will be caused as the closure isonly for six days andwill fallmostly overpublic holidays and the weekend.

“This is the only area fit to accommo-date the temporary relocationof themin-ibus taxi operations in terms of size,proximity to theCapeTown central busi-ness district and access,” he says.

“Past experience has also taught usthat a number of people prefer to be onleave during this short working weekand thereforewe do not expect the trafficto be as congested as during a normalworking week.”

Maintenance teams will paint thebuildings and road markings, repair thelighting, repair potholes and cracks inthe road surface and sidewalks, and in-stall new destination boards to assistcommuters in finding the correct depar-ture lanes to their destinations, Herronsays.

“As part of the maintenance and re-pair work, new lanes will be allocated tothe various destinations – the details ofwhichwill be communicated to the oper-ators and commuters in due course,” hesays.

Once the repairs have been completed,theCitywill implement a newoperation-al plan to alleviate the congestion on thestation deck. A new access control sys-tem for legal operators with the authori-ty to drop off and pick up passengers willbe implemented,whichwill assist in pre-venting illegal operators from enteringand operating at the taxi rank, Herronsays.

The station deckwill be closed totaxis while mainte-nance is done.

Raising for the roofThe Holy Spirit is not the only thing

raining down in St George’s Cathe-dral.

The icon churchhas launchedan interna-tional campaign to raise funds to fix theroof, which will not last another winter,”.The roof has been repaired over the

years, but is now in need of replacing.The cathedral community has raised

funds through a range of initiatives, includ-ing the Raise the Roof Concerts and the As-sociation of the Friends of St. George’s Ca-thedral.But as the church now needs to raise

R25m to save the roof, the named the “Un-der One Roof campaign, and is calling onboth the local and international communityto donate roof tiles at R125.“Our doors are open to all, unfortunately

so is the roof,” the church says on the cam-paign’s website.“Although St George’s Cathedral has

weathered the turbulence of depressions,recessions, three wars and the struggle for

freedom, her roof won’t last another win-ter.”The cathedral is not only the spiritual

home of Emeritus Desmond Tutu, but is al-so the rallying point of the inter-faith demo-craticmovementwhichhelped shape SouthAfrica’s miracle transition from oppres-sion to freedom.Under this roof, after leading a protest

march of 30 000 people through the streetsof Cape Town in 1989, ArchbishopDesmondTutu first coined the phrase “Rainbow Na-tion”.“While the passing years have enhanced

the reputation of the cathedral across theworld, they have taken their toll on the vastarea of tiled roof. Now the cathedral looksto its faithful the world over for protectionfrom above,” the website says.Known as ‘The People’s Cathedral’ for its

role in the resistance against apartheid, St.George’s Cathedral is the oldest cathedralin Southern Africa and the mother churchof the Anglican Diocese of Cape Town.

YOUTH

Barefoot for a good causeCan you go barefoot for a day?

In a time when South African debatesare creating division among its citi-

zens, a group of students at the Universityof the Western Cape (UWC) launched a cam-paign to unify South Africans.

Barefoot Thursday for Africa is a cam-paign that challenges Africans to assist fel-low Africans in need.

Growing up in a village in the EasternCape, Mongezi Mabena was the only one inhis group of friends who owned a pair ofshoes.He sayshe felt so embarrassedbyhav-ing a pair of shoes that he would take themoff immediately when he came home fromschool and hide them from his friends.

Mabena is 20-years-old now, a BCommfirst year student at UWC and a Leaders’Quest Alumnus at youth development NPOSalesian Life Choices based in Lansdowne.

Today, Mabena still feels a deep connec-tion for children and equality – his motiva-tion to launch Barefoot Thursday for Africa,an initiative that encourages people to gobarefoot every Thursday to highlight theneed for shoes in South Africa and inspirethose who have shoes to donate to those whodon’t.

Why Thursday?Mabena – the founder of the campaign –

saw two street children barefoot on a Thurs-day while visiting Gugulethu.

This encounter took his thoughts back togrowing up where he was the only one whohad a pair of shoes.

Mabena says: “The experience raised a lotof questions in my mind. For example: if Af-rica belongs to all those that live in it, howis it possible for one African to own 25 pairsof shoes whilst another African does noteven have one pair? Does the African ideolo-gy only exist in our minds? I felt a deep de-sire to do something about it.”

This experience led Mabena to go to his

classes barefoot the following Thursday.He was taken aback by the interest he got

from his fellow students and those workingat the university.

“Students kept approaching me to askwhy I was barefoot, this gave me an opportu-nity to share the story and create awarenessaround the topic,” says Mabena.

By the end of the day, he had received do-nations of shoes, with some students givinghim the shoes that they had on.

“I was shocked by how many students

wanted to help and soon we had a group ofstudents that worked together to develop theBarefoot Thursday for Africa concept,” hesays.

Today all members of the organisation –most of them students at UWC – go to classesbarefoot on Thursdays to raise awarenessfor the cause.

According to theDepartment ofBasicEdu-cation there are over seven million childrenin South Africa living without shoes.

Understanding that the need for shoes is

more than just superficial, Barefoot Thurs-day for Africa highlights the important needfor shoes in Africa’s impoverished commu-nities in preventing and reducing trauma,hookworm and parasitic diseases affectingindividuals who go barefoot for long periodsof time.

“Most people do not know the far reachingconsequences of being barefoot for long peri-ods of time and we want to raise awarenessand educate people,” Mabena says.

“We also want to promote Ubuntu and toraise awareness about the differences thathave destroyed the unity of Africa as a conti-nent. We asked people to donate a pair ofshoes to those who don’t have. In the firstweek we received more than 15 pairs ofshoes. It really showed that people want toget involved in helping the lives of their fel-low African brothers and sisters.”

Barefoot Thursday for Africa aims to col-lect 300 pairs of shoes to donate to people liv-ing in need across the Western Cape.

“In order to reach our goal we havereached out to non-profit organisations toassist us in finding children in need – wedon’t only aim to give to centres but also tochildren living in family homes that are inneed,” says Barefoot for Africa memberPheliwe Tamba.

“Barefoot for Africa’s main goal is toprove that Africans can do much betterwhen they are working together because webelieve that we have been separated for toolong. It is time to bring change to the conti-nent ourselves,” Mabena adds.

This unifying cause, born from the youth,exemplifies ways in which we can bringabout positive change by reinforcing initia-tives that inspire Africans to connect and ac-tively tackle the problems we are facing to-day as a nation.V For more information on Barefoot Thursday for Africa and how to get involved contact barefeetforafri[email protected] or contact Mongezi on 076 579 5211.

The multi-disciplinary programme, co-ordinated by Sister Jane Booth, trainsparents to take over the care for theirtechnology-dependent children from themedical team at the hospital.

“We strive to recognise and support thefamilies who provide extraordinary spe-cial care to their technology-dependentchildren at home,” Booth says.

Booth says the programme also im-proves the child’s quality of life,meets their developmentalneeds and prevents the psycho-social complications of long-term hospitalisation.

“They feel safe and securegrowing up within their fami-lies, are integrated into theirown communities and eventual-lywill be able to contribute to so-ciety at large,” she says.

What makes this programmeunique is that the parents (fami-lies) have to take complete re-sponsibility for the care of theirchildren at home, because as yetthere are no paediatric home-based carers in the community.

BoothandherBreatheasypro-gramme were recently includedin a health innovators bookletfrom the Bertha Centre for So-cial Innovation in recognition ofher integral role in foundingandfacilitating the programme.

As a result, the programmewas one of only two health inno-

vations from South Africa that were fea-tured as part of a BBC series showcasinghealth innovations across Africa.

The series focused on how these healthinnovations inAfrica aremakingadiffer-ence to the lives of patients, their familiesand communities.

“I am so passionate about this pro-gramme, because it takes children out ofhospital back home where they belong. Itbuilds the capacity of the parents to beable to care for their children and allowschildren to continue leading their nor-mal, daily lives,” Booth says.

City prepares for rain

In an attempt to reduce the risk of floodingand mudslides after the recent fires on theSouth Peninsula mountains, the City of

Cape Town has started work on high-risk ar-eas of the mountainside.

According to a statement released lastweek, the vegetation which normally holdssoils in place has been destroyed by the fireand these conditions place some locations ofthe mountainside at risk of destabilisationin very wet weather. This, the statementsays, may result in mudslides and flooding.

The work planned includes the installa-tion of silt-trapping fences at various loca-tions, the placement of gabion structures toreinforce slopes and trap loose rockandsedi-ments and the creation of sandbag bermsalong some roads to cut off and redirect ex-cessive flows.

Special attention is also being given to en-

suring that existing stormwater infrastruc-ture is kept clean throughout the winter.

Although the work will continue through-out winter, the likelihood of flooding de-pends on the severity of the coming rains.

Intense storms, especially early in the sea-son, may overwhelm the City’s best efforts.

With this in mind, residents who thinkthat their properties may be threatened areadvised to also do some work within theirproperty boundaries.

For instance, if there is a threat of severeflooding and debris flowing through theproperty, homeowners should use sandbagsto try and direct excess flow in such a waythat damage to the property is minimised.V For more information contact the asset management and maintenance district office on 021 710 8003or [email protected] report blocked drains call 0800 65 64 63.

Do you remember the first book you read?Maybe it was a fairy-tale, in which a beautiful princess

was saved by a strong and dependable prince, or the ad-ventures of little animals as they relied on their friend-ship to escape dangers.Maybe your first book was a religious text, telling of

great miracles and teaching you how to live a good life.How many of us have lost ourselves in an adventure

or a love story, unable to stop turning the pages?As World Book Day was celebrated last week, readers

across the world picked up their favourite books.However, amongst our children – and even ourselves–

reading has become a dying past-time.We have turned the TV, radio or computer on, leaving

our books gathering dust.A great pity, as those very books contain life lessons

and a means to escape the dullness of our reality.But reading is more than just an escape.Themental stimulationof reading can slow thedevelop-

ment of diseases such Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Read-ingwill alsoboost yourvocabularyand improveyourgen-eral knowledge and memory.Regular readers have also been proven to have better

concentration and focus. They are also better analyticalthinkers, studies show.And many of these benefits can be carried over to chil-

dren, especially when their parents read to them from ayoung age.These children have been found to develop stronger ac-

ademically.Reading to your children will help them develop lan-

guage skills as well as concentration and logic.Instead of celebrating World Book Day once a year, it

should be celebrated every day.Switch off the TV or computer and curl up with a good

book, sharing the story with your family.

Report reckless taxi driversRecently, in the space of two days, I wasnearly driven off the road by taxiscoming down Harfield Road from Kenil-worth’s side towards Main Road, Clare-mont. This has happened so many timeslately, but last week Tuesday morning (14April) was the ultimate.Four mini taxis filled with passengers

were driving in the right lane, while fourcars, including myself, turned from MainRoad (at Scala Chemist) into HarfieldRoad.

I was horrified when a car followedthem in the right lane to get to MainRoad. Traffic was blocked in Main Roadas two taxis just sped across withoutstopping.My biggest concern is that this situa-

tion has intensified. There are mini taxistransporting children to the school.Children are walking to the school fromMain Road, as well as from HarfieldStation.These taxi drivers do not care about

anyone and they are really a threat toour society and safety.I really want to plea with people to

report any incident of reckless driving tothe necessary authorities. Hopefully wecan get some assistance from our trafficdepartment in this regard.It is all about the safety of our commu-

nities.
