Nature reserves gain partnersMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The formation of committees to overseeprotected areas across Cape Town hasbeen tabled.

Reports sent to several subcouncils acrossthe southern suburbs called for councillorsto be nominated for these new committees.The report covers 17 nature reserves and

natural environments across the city and in-cludes popular sites like Zandvlei EstuaryNature Reserve, False Bay Nature Reserve,Wolfgat Nature Reserve and the Edith Ste-phens Nature Reserve.According to a report tabled at the sub-

councilmeetings theProtectedAreaAdviso-ry Committees (PAAC) exist to facilitate aparticipative approach in the managementof protected areas and to represent all stake-holders.The committees’ objectiveswill be to facil-

itate interaction between the managementof these areas and the surrounding commu-nities and to develop strategic partnerships.The report also says the committees will

aim to serve as a communication channeland assist with the implementation of man-agement plans.The committees will be statuary bodies

formed under the National EnvironmentalManagement Act.According to the report the constitution of

the PAAC was finalised in November andpublic participation for nominations closed

in March.According to the constitution, the commit-

tees are advisory bodies rather than deci-sion-making bodies.Theywill consist of communities, council-

lors, ward communities and user groups.Theymay also include other affected and in-terested parties such as academic and re-search institutions, nature-based recreationbodies and tourism stakeholders.Themembers of each committeewill serve

a three-year term after which theirmember-shipwill be reviewed and the City can eitherrenew or terminate their membership andrequest new nominations.The PAAC will have a maximum of 20

members and a minimum of six.The report recommends two councillors

be nominated to serve on the committeeswhich fall in their respective subcouncil are-as.In the South Peninsula subcouncil coun-

cillors Dave D’Alton and Elton Jansen werenominated to serve on the Zandvlei EstuaryNature Reserve committee. CouncillorsShaun August and Patricia van der Rosswere nominated to serve on the False BayNature Reserve committee.In the Rondevlei subcouncil, councillors

Marita Petersen and Clive van der Merwewere also nominated to the Zandvlei Estu-ary Nature Reserve committee.In the Mitchell’s Plain subcouncils, coun-

cillors Sheval Arendse, Daniel Christians,MariaWeavers and LungileMaci were nom-

inated to serve on the Wolfgat Nature Re-serve committee.According to the resolutions for subcoun-

cil 15, councillors Bernadette le Roux andPatrick Chapplewill serve on the committee

for Table Bay Nature Reserve.Rondevlei subcouncil manager Okkie

Manuels says councillors Thembinkosi Pu-pa and Andile Dube were nominated for theEdith Stephens Nature Reserve committee.

Councillors have made their nominations for new advisory bodies for various protected areasacross the city, like Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

@nickymccain

A Gardens soccer club has been giventhe go-ahead for rezoning as a commu-nity facility, after an appeals process

against a City of Cape Town rulingwas suc-cessful.The City council decided against an ap-

plication by the African Brother FootballAcademy (ABFA) after numerous com-plaints by neighbours.In 2013, the City threatened to close the

soccer fields, saying the propertywas beingused unlawfully for commercial and busi-ness activities, and that the site was notzoned correctly (“Soccer academy focuseson goal”, People’s Post, 22 January 2013).However, ABFA took the decision to the

appeals board, which has now ruled in itsfavour, confirmed ward councillor DaveBryant at a recent ward committee meet-ing.This will allow the area to be rezoned to

a community zone from a residential zone.

Community zones are set aside for insti-tutions such as orphanages, old-age homes,places of worship and places of assembly,such as community halls.This rezoning will help to regulate the

five-a-side soccer currently taking place onthe fields, and to allow children to becoached. The academy currently trains onthe site.Co-founder, director, manager and coach

of ABFA Craig Hepburn previously toldPeople’s Post that around 30 schools reliedon the services of ABFA.Hepburn declined to comment on the re-

zoning application.ABFA has invested around R4m in up-

grading what was once a crime-ridden areafilled with vagrants and constant interven-tion by police, Hepburn says.The academywas started in 1999 with the

purpose of providing soccer coaching tochildren, some of which are from under-privileged homes. Some schools also usethe fields due to the lack of facilities in theirschool grounds.

More stalls on streetsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Almost 170 more traders will ply theirwares on the CBD’s streets as a new trad-ing plan for the city centre is given thenod.The informal trading plan was recently

approved by the Good Hope subcouncil.Ward councillor Dave Bryant says the

new trading plan will move trading awayfrom highly congested streets, such as onAdderley Street where pedestrians andtraders battle for space on the sidewalk.The planwill create trading spaces in newareas across the CBD.Geographic changes in the city have

prompted a closer look at informal trad-ing, Bryant previously told People’s Post(“Informal traders to give input”, 26 June2014).“Street traders’ spaceswere last official-

ly allocated in 1997. The city today is a

very different place. Traffic has movedaway from Adderley and Darling streetsand there are more pedestrians,” he says.The new trading plan aims to take new

trading opportunities into account.The City of Cape Townmanages inform-

al trading within its area. It may also de-clare an informal trading plan for any ar-ea and restrict areas for informal trading.The newplan also suggests solutions for

challenges traders face, such as storingtheir goods, Bryant says.Other challenges faced by vendors in-

clude sites which are exposed to the ele-ments, crime and high rent (“Trading pla-ces”, People’s Post, 16 August 2013).City traders have called for the plan to

also look at increasing the space providedfor trading and providing weatherproof-ing and security for traders.The new plan will be presented to the

mayoral committee and full council. Itshould be finalised before September.

WATERFRONT

Green shoppingthe way to goNew green building ratings mean the V&AWaterfront is one of the greenest places inCape Town.

The Green Building Council of South Af-rica (GBCSA) has awarded both VictoriaWharf and the BP building 4-star “existingbuilding” ratings, reflecting the buildings’high-level environmentally friendly andsustainable operating efficiency, says V&AWaterfront CEO David Green.

The Silo District’s No. 1 Silo was awardedSouth Africa’s first ever 6-star “as built”rating last year, making the V&A Water-front possibly the greenest place in CapeTown.

“Sustainability is an integral part of oper-ations at the V&A Waterfront, and we arecommitted to leadership in sustainabilitypractices in both our future and current de-velopment plans. We are thrilled with theaddition of Victoria Wharf and the BP build-ing to our green-rated buildings because webelieve it shows follow-through on our envi-ronmental promises, and our genuine com-mitment to leaving a sustainable legacy forfuture generations,” Green says.

The V&A Waterfront’s Victoria Wharf,which houses the bulk of retail trade at theWaterfront, is the first shopping centre inSouth Africa to be awarded a 4-star greenrating, he says.

The BP building was the first commer-cial-scale office development in Cape Townthat consciously encompassed green build-ing principles in its design and construc-tion, Green explains.

Both green-star ratings will be valid forthree years before the GBCSA’s assessment

must be repeated to ensure the sustainabili-ty practices have continued.

“Green features in the buildings includedrip irrigation, lighting controls, electricalsub-metering, a high-performance chilledwater plant, use of natural lighting, and, im-portantly, the introduction of a green leasetenant criteria reference manual, ensuringthat not only are the buildings sustainable,but that their tenants enhance the eco-friendly environment,” Green says.

These DJs spin goodmusic and deedsDance the night away and do some goodwhile you’re at it.

This is the idea behind Sound of theSuburbs, which hosts events encourag-ing music lovers to give to those in needwhile partying to some of Cape Town’shottest DJs.

It all started when founder and DJThomas Dodds went to fetch a jacketfrom his room before a night out. He sud-denly thought of all those living on thestreets without the simple luxury ofclothing or blankets. He decided to giveback.

Run by Dodds, art director and photog-rapherBianca Schwerin and events coor-dinator Alex Labia, the group’s first par-ty last year asked the simple entry fee ofa bag of clothes, blankets or tinned food.The proceeds – 20 black bags full of cloth-ing, 50 blankets and four boxes of tinnedfood – were donated to the Haven NightShelter.

“The idea is that in some way we accu-mulate funding or clothing, blankets andfood from each event and donate it to acharity whose main focus is helping thehomeless or those that are experiencingterrible poverty,” explains Schwerin.

The second event took place at the As-sembly in April, with a cover charge go-ing towards aR20 000 donation to theCar-

penter’s Shop, which offers homelesspeople ablution facilities and vocationalskills training.

The music industry has taken enthusi-astically to the concept, Schwerin says,with DJs such as Haezer, Das Kapital,Grimehouse, Niskerone and Hyphen tak-ing to the decks during the events.

“Our main idea was about DJs comingtogether to create change. At the sametime, our purpose would change the lightin which DJs and the nightlife industryare often seen,” she explains.

“The nightlife industry often gets la-bels with negative connotations such asdrugs, sex and alcohol abuse. We want toshow theworld that it is exactly the oppo-site of that, that the nightlife industry isassociated with people who have goodhearts and will go out of their way to puttogether a party that is about givingback.”

Sounds of the Suburbs is now planningeven “bigger and better” events, Schwer-in says.

“We are planning on hosting manyevents in our near future which will betargeted at different audiences. For now,wewant tohelpour immediate communi-ties, but we are also aware that extremepoverty and homelessness is a global is-sue,” she says.

Cheap fire siren a first for shacksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

You can be part of installing 3000 fire de-tection devices in informal homesacross the country.

This as Lumkani, a technology start-upthat has designed and deployed fire detec-tion devices in informal settlement commu-nities, launches a crowd-funding campaignthis month.

The social enterprise firm has created afire detection device aimed at shack dwell-erswhich detects an increase inheat insteadof smoke.

Lumkani wants to lessen the loss of lifeand property caused by dangerous fires ininformal settlements, says financial direct-or David Gluckman.

“Wewish to increase the safety and securi-ty of millions, if not hundreds of millions,of people across the globe who live at riskof slum fires,” he says.

The productwas invented after a devastat-ing fire in Khayelitsha on New Year’s Dayin 2013.

The blaze, which displaced thousands ofpeople,was a catalyst for researchanddevel-opment, Gluckman says.

“This early warning detection system hasits roots in an engineering Honours thesisof Francois Petousis at UCT.

“The tragic event brought together a mul-tidisciplinary team that would bring theoryinto reality to help mitigate the loss of lifeand property associated with the rampantspread of shack fires,” he says.

The device costs R120 and the battery willlast between one and two years.

Lumkani uses heat detection technologywhich is proven to be the most effective atsensing fires in already smoky environ-ments, Gluckman explains.

“The in-shack heat detector will ringwhen a fire is detected, enabling the familyin the home to respond proactively and pos-sibly extinguish the fire,” he says.

If this is not the case, the device will thentrigger all devices within a 100m range of it-self, using transmission technology, to cre-ate a community-wide alert.

“Thiswill serve to proactively alert people

of the danger to either assist in containingthe fire, or saving family members and be-longings,” he says.

The company sold 850 devices between itslaunch in November last year and the endof January.

“Lumkani has already detected two fireswhich the community has verified wouldhave displaced many people, had the net-work effect of the devices not taken placeand created a community-wide response tothe fire,” he says.

“The critical challengewewant to addressis both the personal safety aspect of one’sfamily in the home as well as the spread ofthe fire to the surrounding community.”

The company recentlywon the SouthAfri-can rounds of the Chivas Regal Win theRight Way Campaign, and as part of this arelaunching the crowd-funding campaign thismonth. The campaign will work in tandemwith The Venture website. The more votesthe company gets on this site, the bigger theshare of $250 000 funding Lumkani will re-ceive.V Visit www.lumkani.com for more information.

Lumkani, a company producing early warningfire detectors, has launched a crowd­fundingcampaign to fund 3000 devices.

What does it mean to be a man?A few decades ago, masculinity meant working hard to

earn an honest living and provide for your family.It meant leading your family in such a way that they

would follow your example.Masculinity meant protecting your family because you

loved them.But today, our ideas of masculinity have become

warped. We pressurise young men to earn big money, tolead fast lives and to achieve their goals no matter thecost. We have thrown family values out the window,replacing them with the images we see on TV.An honest living has been replaced by earning a quick

buck.Leadership has been replaced by dominance.Protection has been replaced by violence.Many young men today have little idea of the values

needed to raise a family, support their community orbuild a career.We can hardly blame them, with so many children

raised by single mothers.With no father figures to teach young boys how to be-

have, can we be surprised when they turn to crime andgangsterism or become abusive?The only providers they see are gangsters. Leadership

and protection have given way to domestic violence andsubstance abuse.Teaching boys to be responsible men is a task single

mothers cannot do alone. It needs the buy-in of the com-munity.Young boys need to see the men in their communities

as an example of responsible men, men who provide forand protect their families.They need to see men rolling up their sleeves and be-

coming involved with the community, imparting lessonsand providing an example to follow.

It’s time to call inthe presidentThis past weekend our community wasonce again in mourning as we laid torest four youngsters shot and killed inthe prime of their youth.Over the past few months we have

buried so many young people, all thevictims of gang warfare. Across ourcommunity boundaries we see andhear of the same – the killing of youngpeople, children and innocent citizens.As community leaders and organisa-

tions and service providers we havedone our utmost best to stem thisterrible wave of gang warfare in ourcommunities and on the Cape Flats.We have had peace marches, protest

marches, picketing, church services,imbizos, meetings . . . and so theendless list goes on.At most of these valiant attempts

and initiatives we had the minister(s),government officials and departmentspresent. We are presented (and bom-barded) with proposals and pro-grammes, all worth millions of rands,but still the bullets continue to fly,still people are dying, still our commu-nities are being held hostage by aminority group of thugs.

The reality is that the police arelosing ground. The enemy have more“resources” in funds, weapons andmanpower.It is time for the national govern-

ment and our president to step in. It’stime to put political differences aside,listen to the plight of our people andsend in the SANDF.It’s time to secure our communities,

provide the support the police needs,it’s now desperate times calling fordesperate measures.It’s our constitutional right to be

protected; it’s our right to call forhelp. If the defense force can bedeployed to address xenophobia, thenthe same can be done for us. This waris beyond xenophobia.We call on community leaders and

structures across the boundaries tojoin the Parkwood estate communityin this initiative to engage the nation-al government and the president onthis serious matter.It’s time to take back our communi-

ties.PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPS

Reading is ‘crucial’Excellent! Well done, Editor. You said itso well – reading is crucial, especially bychildren. With our good libraries there isno excuse not to read.

TESSA VAN ROOYENEmailEskom, you must answer for yourself

While we all know Eskom has majorproblems and that it is struggling to keepthe lights on, we also know that it is notour problem or fault!So why on earth should we be pun-

ished for its mistakes? I mean, seriously,how on earth can it put the power off foralmost five hours? What about stuff inthe fridges and freezers that can go off?Who is going to pay for that – Eskom?It doesn’t even have enough money to

keep the lights on, where will it still get

money to pay for damages?I would also like to know where is the

money going to? Every time you hear thegovernment gave so much and so muchto help Eskom and in spite of loadshed-ding, we still pay skyhigh for electricity!So please tell us, where is the money

going to? We have the right to know.After all, most of it is our hard-earnedmoney.

The PSA men’s final of the Keith Grainger Memorial UCT Squash Open between AngusGillams (PSA 120) and Nathan Lake (PSA 124) was one for the books. This was Lake’sfirst ever PSA final and he came out firing on all cylinders, winning the first game 11­7.He continued this dominance in the second, winning 11­6. At 7­0 up in the third everyonethought that Gilliams was dead and buried but he showed plenty of grit to work everypoint and slowly worked his way back into the game, getting to 5­7 down. Lake was toogood on the day and won the third 11­8 and the match 3­0 in 62 minutes. The length ofthe match shows it was much more than a simple 3­0 win. PHOTOS: OAKPICS.COM

SKWalmers won Cape Town’s most pop-ular derby rugby match.Ashiq Wise’s Walmers side emerged

victorious in only the second derby sinceunification against old rival Primrose at theGreen Point track on Saturday.Although Walmers comfortably won this

Premier League A encounter 35-17, thematch was filled with excitement and ten-sion, both on and off the field.These two teams were big rivals before

unification when they contested for decadesin the Premier League competition of theCity and Suburban Rugby union in Craw-ford.Last yearwas the first time these two sides

met in a derby as both teamsplayed in differ-ent league competitions in the WP RugbyUnion before unification of the deferent ra-cially based rugby unions more than twodecades ago.Last year’s derby at Rosmead, home-

ground of Primrose, ended in a 25 all draw.This is Wise’s first victory in three games

inhis first seasonashead coachafter joiningthe club last year as assistant coach. Wisehas had a long history with the club, having

played for the Bo-Kaap club as a craftyscrumhalf before embarking on a provincialcareer which would see him having a stintwith WP and the Pumas.For Walmers, Abubaker Davids, Madeeg

Davids, Jawaad Dramat, Mikaeel Hartley,Dawood Petersen and Bjorn Julies scoredtries while Yasfir David slotted over a con-versionwithGhakeemLarnie goaling a pen-alty.Primrose’s points came from tries by

NaceedoPetersen andJasonJantjies. Jantji-es converted his own try and a penalty.SK Walmer’s next match is on 16 May

when it takes on Villager at Brookside.Primrose will be up against the national

Community Cup champions Durbell at theDurbanville sportsground on Saturday.

Kommetjie’sMichael February finished sec-ond in the inaugural Martinique Surf Pro,a QS3000-rated event and the eighth stop onthe World Surf League qualifying series, onSaturday.It was February’s best result in three

years on the qualifying series, and earnedthe 21-year-old from Kommetjie $10 000(about R120 000). He also jumped 61 placesto No. 16 on the rankings, the highest by aSouth African. He was runner-up to JoshuaMoniz of Hawaii.February, who posted one of the only two

perfect 10 point rides in the event during thequarterfinals on Friday, did not let an excel-lent score by Moniz on the first ride of thefinal alter his motivation and kept battlingall the way to the final countdown in searchof the 9.37 he needed to take the win.“This is the best result I’ve ever had so I’m

super happy,” February said. “Unfortunate-ly that last wave didn’t give me enough todo enough turns and maybe I made a fewmistakes, but I tried my best and I’m superhappy to have put together a good contestagain.”Moniz, 18, could not have started the final

any better, catching an excellentwave in theopening seconds, to deliver a series of excit-ing forehand turns and collect a 9.07. TheHa-waiian didn’t take his foot off the gas andcontinued to capitalise on every opportunityhe had to finally net an 8.87 as a backup andwin the event.“I was so nervous going into that heat. I

knew to win it I’d have to get big scores,”Moniz said. “I’m so stoked, this is my firstqualifying series win. Coming off anotherwin in a pro junior in Hawaii I had a lot ofconfidence and I’m on kind of a roll so hope-

fully I can keep it going.”Despite posting big scores all week,Moniz

was in the underdog position up until hisquarterfinal matchup in which he dis-patched South African Beyrick de Vries.The Hawaiian then emerged as a potentialthreat for the event crown, and convincinglysurfed two more brilliant heats to take thetitle home.“I got a lot of confidence from that win

over Beyrick,” Moniz continued. “I thoughtif I beat himwell I canmaybe go all the way.Everyone’s been super nice and helpful hereand all the locals very supportive.My familyand friends have been staying up late aswellto watch me and texted me after every heat,I’m just tripping out I won.”February opted to go local in terms of ac-

commodation and stayed with a Martinicanfamily to immerse himself in the local vibe.

Supported during all his heats by an excitedcrowd, Februaryhaswon thehearts ofmanylocals.“The people here are really good and they

welcomed me so nicely,” February contin-ued. “I’ve been getting really good food fromthe people I stayed with, tried new stuff andthey also drove me to all the little secretspots. It’s just been a beautiful experience,Imet some incredible people and I can’t waitto be back.”In his semi-final February surprised ev-

eryone – when needing 7.70 with just sec-onds remaining he opted to ride left on therighthand point. Taking to the sky as thewave closed out, he successfully landed ahigh-flying “Hail Mary” 360 aerial manoeu-vre that the judges rewarded with 7.87 anda spot in the final.Visitwww.worldsurfleague.com formore.
