BEACHFRONT: STREET PEOPLE ‘SHELTER’ A WORRY

Sea wall ‘security risk’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A group of street people aremaking their home under theSeaPoint Pavilion, creating a

“security risk” at the popular tour-ist spot.A hole in the wall under the pa-

vilion has provided street peoplewith a shelter, while locals saycouncil is dragging its feet on re-pairs.Community Policing Forum

chairperson Heather Tager esti-mates around 10 people are sleep-ing under the pavilion.Council was requested to repair

the damaged wall a month ago,says Tager.“Thehole in thewall is a security

concern. It was reported by LawEnforcement officials and then bythe CPF. It’s not something to betaken lightly,” she says.The City of Cape Town is aware

of the problem and the DisplacedPeople’s Unit has conducted nu-merous operations at the locationin question, says the executive di-rector for Safety and Security, Ri-chard Bosman.“While the unit is trying its ut-

most to resolve the problem, it isvery difficult to get the group toleave the area as they have founda source of food and income fromsome of the residents who givehand-outs or employ them to doodd jobs. Until these opportunitiesare cut off,” he says, “the groupwill remain in the area.”Maintenance on the wall is car-

ried out as required and the proc-ess to carry out the necessary re-pairs is underway, says Bosman.“Crime in any area is a concern

for the City. In terms of this partic-ular issue, the City is aware of itand is trying its utmost to resolvethe issue as speedily as possible.We cannot underestimate the im-portant role residents play in thisregard andmake a renewed appealto them to not give hand-outs tostreet people and to rather donate

to organisations that work withand assist street people,” he says.There have been three break-ins

at the pavilion in recent months,saysTager, although the street peo-ple have not been connected tothefts. However, known criminalshave been spotted in the group, shesays.

Jared Chaitowitz, owner of UpCycles based at the pavilion, saysthere is no evidence recent break-ins are related to the homeless peo-ple in question.“I had a break-in ages ago, before

anyone was sleeping under the pa-vilion. I don’t think they’re crimi-nals. I think they just don’t have

anywhere else to go. It’s not an ide-al situationandcouncil needs to re-locate them to a more suitableplace, especially with winter com-ing,” he says.Suzette Little, the City’s Social

Development and Early ChildhoodDevelopment Mayoral Committeemember, says the matter has been

referred to the City’s social devel-opment department.“The department’s field workers

will engage with the group and of-fer to take them to an assessmentcentre or a night shelter in the ar-ea. This is voluntary as an individ-ual cannot be forced to go to a shel-ter,” she says.

‘Free the Weed’ mass actionCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

An annual gathering for those in favourfor marijuana legalisation. This iswhat the Global Cannabis March

meant to the throngs who attended.Themarch is an annual eventwhich takes

place on the first Saturday of May.The procession started at Keizergracht

Street and snaked into the Cape Town CBDon Saturday 3 May.

Hundreds of supporters in support of thecause to legalise dagga gathered in the CBDon Saturday morning and marched throughthe streets of Cape Town and the CompanyGardens to get their message across.

Participants of the march chanted alongto slogans such as “Free the Weed” and “Le-galise dagga” and sang along to the musicmade by a band who joined the march.

It was a positive and cheerful atmosphereas those who followed the march sharedlaughs, stories and even a few puffs.

Dagga Party leader Jeremy Acton says:“We are participating in a global initiativeand we put a call out there for everyone whosupports this movement and the dagga cul-ture in South Africa.”

Acton says theywant dagga to be legalisedfor medicinal, religious and recreational

purposes.“Not many people realise dagga is an in-

dustrial plant that can be used as a resource.The fibre you find in dagga has a lot of poten-tial. It can be used for petrol, clothing andpackaging,” Acton says, adding even withall the differences among people, “daggaunites these very people”.

“If you want to see a snapshot of the realSouthAfrica thenyou should lookat thedag-ga culture. These are different people whocome from all walks of life but they agree onone thing – dagga should be legalised,” hesays.

Acton also fumes at the mention of thosewho have been incarcerated because of dag-ga. He calls it “victimisation”.

“Our jails are overcrowded but they lockup people who use dagga. That is victimisa-tion. No victim, no crime.”

Acton also believes the reason behind theplant not being legalised yet is due to corpo-rationsnotwanting to lose control over theirmarkets. “Corporations are the ones con-trolling government and they are the oneswho do not want (dagga) legalised as it couldthreaten their businesses.”

Those present at the march also agreed toa declaration by show of hands, thereby ce-menting their loyalty to the cause andmem-bership of the dagga culture.

CRIME: KIOSK TO HELP CURB CRIME

Safety trailer a winNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Provincial minister for CommunitySafety Dan Plato handed over a mobilesafety trailer to the Bo-Kaap communi-

ty on Friday 2 May, as part of a three-monthpilot project.

The trailer will be manned by the GreenPoint Improvement District and the Bo-Kaap Neighbourhood Watch.

The trailer is currently positioned in RoseStreet and will move around in the Bo-Kaapto increase security and policing visibility,tomake servicesmore accessible to the com-munity, says Green Point Improvement Dis-trict chief executive Marc Truss.

Bo-Kaap Neighbourhood Watch spokes-person Anwar Valley says the trailer bringsdown misdemeanours by giving residents aquick and easy way to report crime.

“The trailer is in a central location at thepark in Upper Wale Street. The neighbour-hood watch will also assist in manning thetrailer and thevisible policingwill hopefullyreduce crimes such as car break-ins, whichoccur daily,” he says.

The community safety kiosk programmeis an initiative by the department whichaims to increase public safety through theprovision of easily visible and accessible se-curity services. The department will use thetrailer to train young security officers, cur-rently completing their training through theChrysalis Academy’s Youth DevelopmentProgramme. The programme provides threemonths of training, before the securityguards are hired through theExpandedPub-licWorks Programmeat the department anddeployed to work at kiosks.

Community safety groups, including the

Neighbourhood Watches and CommunityPolicing Forum, will benefit from the jointinitiative, Truss says.

“We look forward to continue workingwith our neighbours fromBo-Kaap, the localneighbourhood watches and law enforce-ment agencies to create safe communitiesand we are grateful to the Department of

Community Safety for their support,” hesays.

“It is vital that we work together with anholistic approach to crime prevention andthat is why, as CIDs, we believe in support-ing initiatives such as this Community Safe-ty Kiosk programme to also benefit the com-munities bordering our areas of operation.”

CONSUMERS: SOLAR GEYSER

How the rebate affects youMICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertMB

Electrical geysers may well continue toguzzle up some 60% of household elec-tricity supply as some incentives by Es-

kom to get more people solar-savvy havebeen cancelled.The energy supply giant said it has placed

its Load Reduction Rebate Programme un-der review, meaning rebates worth thou-sands of rands it has been doling out to solar-enthusiastic households will be severlycurbed.A leading solar products company has

since drawn up a petition against the energygiant because of this decision to cut rebates.“In a surprise move, Eskom has terminat-

ed the current solar rebate programme, ef-fective from 1 May, with minimal notice tothe public, industry and other stakehold-ers,” said Klint Munton, owners of SunScanSolar Energy Technologies.“This means that all Eskom solar rebates

will fall away, in stark contrast to their pub-lic image of endorsing, supporting and sub-sidising more energy-efficient ways of heat-ing water and, in turn, saving electricity,”Munton said.“Eskom’s major campaigns, which have

cost millions, warn us to cut back on our us-age and urge us to turn off pool pumps, gey-

sers and non-essential appliances.“Despite this, electricity demand still ex-

ceeds supply during peak periods, and nowEskom is pulling the plug on their endeavorto save power by their subsidising of energy-aware consumers who install power-savingwater heaters and geysers,” Munton said.“The question remains that with an elec-

tricity grid under severe strain, how is itpossible that a programme such as the LoadReductionRebateProgrammecanbediscon-tinued?”

Rebate cutsThe City of Cape Town, a major Eskom

customer, said the rebate cuts only appliedto high-pressure solar geysers, and then on-ly if the components used in the making ofthese geysers have beenmostly locally man-ufactured.“There are new requirements around re-

bates and high-pressue systems, being thatrebates will only applywhere production in-cludes 70% locally produced components,”said Sarah Ward, head of the City’s energydepartment.Ward said there had been little movement

regarding the low-pressure systems mostlyused in low-cost housing schemes.“The national low-pressure solar water

heating programme is on hold. It has beenfor the past two-and-a-half years,” she said.

This is in line with Es-kom’s response. The ener-gy giant said the rebateswere not cut completely,but are taking a differenttack.“The programme is un-

der review to enhance cer-tain aspects such as creat-ing more opportunities tostimulate local manufac-ture, and the level of re-bate,” said Latetia Venter,Eskom’s marketing andcommunications manag-er.“The programme will

continue, but with chang-eswhich are currently un-der consideration.“There will be no nega-

tive implication to thegrid as the subsidy willcontinue.“Selected areas with

low-cost housing consum-ers will continue to re-ceive low-pressure solarwater heating systems forfree,” Venter said.There are two popular

kinds of solar-poweredgeysers: one that workswith solar tubes, the otherwith solar flat-plates.A typical 200F solar tube system for a fami-

ly of four costs R29 697. The Eskom rebateon this system is R5 865. Thus, in total, itcomes down to R23 832. Munton said with fi-nancing this sum was repayable over up tofive years with a monthly instalment ofR998.“One very important point to note – the

tubes are only manufactured overseas.South Africa does not have a manufacturefacility to make this product,” Munton said.“With Eskomwanting to do awaywith the

rebate on imported products this is going tolimit the homeowner to flat-plate technologyonly.“This becomes problematic when the

home owner has a roof orientation which ismore than 45° off north. Flat-plates do notperform well when placed on such a roof,”he said.Another problem was the threat posed to

local businesses which have bought into themanufacturing of alternative energy.One such business is that owned by David

Lipschitz. His company advocates net-me-tering – an alternative energy solutionwhereby households generate their ownelectricity and sell any excess back into thegrid.Lipschitz said the rebates were just one

way in which Eskom and the government’sapproach to alternative energy is puttingsmall manufacturers out of business.“Apparently Eskom has given their solar

water heater manufacturers/installers sixweeks’ notice that this Load Reduction Re-bate Programme is being terminated,” hesaid.“This has become typical of this govern-

ment’s approach to localisation and to its in-centives and rebates programmes. Manybusinesses and local jobs and localmanufac-turing concerns have been created,” he said.“When government willy nilly changes

the rules, these local businesses go out ofbusiness and international companies fill

their place, with an associated loss of locali-sation, jobs (and) resources.”He said if governmentwould spendmoney

on alternative energy sources to create theirown electricity, it would free up enough en-ergy for industry.“Instead of fixing their contracts, Eskom

takes out their problems on the poor and thepoor investors who have invested in ‘Proud-ly SouthAfrican’ only to have the rug pulledout from under them.”Asked what Eskom’s stance on net-meter-

ing was, Venter replied: “Both net-meteringand solar water heating are important pro-grammes and are not mutually exclusive.”

PetitionIn the meantime, Munton’s petition

against the rebate cut remains.“Wewill continue to lobby Eskom, regula-

tory bodies and government to overturn thisdecision. We urge all South Africans to jointhe community for change and sign (the) pe-tition to make Eskom aware of how the re-bate cuts affect the pockets and shifts mind-sets against creating a greener South Afri-ca.”Eskom’s response to the petition was

brief: “Eskom is not intending to close theprogramme.”Ward said the City would continue to sup-

port local solar products manufacturers.“This is supported in the City’s water

heater programme. The City has accreditedsolar water heater service providers in or-der to allay people’s fears about the qualityof products,” she said.“Households can visit www.savingelec-

tricity.org.za to obtain quotes from accredit-ed service providers.”V View SunScan’s petition at https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Phindile_Baleni_CEO_of_NERSA_Peti-tion_Eskom_to_keep_the_Solar_Rebate_for_ALL_prod-ucts/?wMnMphbV Visit Lipschitz’s blog at http://mypowerstation-sa.blogspot.com/

ATLANTIC SEABOARD: CONFUSION OVER CAMERA SYSTEM

Not all areclued upon big pictureNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

With one of the most extensive licenceplate recognition (LPR) camera sys-tems in the metro on the cards for

the Sea Point policing precinct, Green Pointresidents are claiming that they have notbeen consulted.

The Sea Point Improvement Districtplans to install 25 cameras to create one ofthe most extensive LPR networks in CapeTown.

The system will guard all entry and exitpoints in Green Point, Sea Point, Fresnayeand Bantry Bay, says CEO Heather Tager.

Green Point Neighbourhood Watchchairperson Bradley Braithwaite saysthere have been “a few misunderstand-ings”.

The neighbourhood watch has been con-sidering implementing a similar system forsome time, Braithwaite says, and the initia-tive by the improvement district has“fluffed some feathers”.

“Different organisations with their ownideas are having to work together to get thecamera system rolled out in phases,” hesays.

“We understand that all the neighbour-

hoods will be raising funds which will becombined to fund the whole system,” hesays.

Tager confirmed there has been someconfusion over who would fund cameras inthe respective neighbourhoods, but saysfundraising will take place for the wholesystem and not on an area basis.

The system will cost around R2m to in-stall, and the improvement district and lo-cal businesses have already funded the in-stallation of the first four cameras.

“The Sea Point City Improvement Dis-trict and the Sea Point Community PoliceForum are rolling out the project to the en-tire Sea Point precinct. We will thereforecover the Green Point area and thus thereis no change to the original layout of LPRcameras within the entire precinct. Unfor-tunately, Rome was not built in a day andthe entire project hinges on funding,” shesays.

The cameras record the licence plates ofvehicles travelling through the area, imme-diately alerting law enforcement agenciesshould a vehicle linked to criminal activityenter the area.

The cameras are able to zoom in on thevehicle, making details on the car and thefaces of the driver and passenger visible.

The system is also linked to surroundingsuburbs of Camps Bay, Devil’s Peak andTamboerskloof, says Tager.

This means should a vehicle be involvedin a crime in Tamboerskloof, the camerasystem will pick it up when it enters SeaPoint.

It is hoped the initiative will yield a dra-matic drop in Sea Point’s vehicle-relatedcrime statistics, as it affords the CID themeans to spot crime in real time and to iden-tify the perpetrators and their vehiclesthrough enhanced optics, Tager says.

The camera system will assist police withinformation gathering and investigations,says Sea Point police spokesperson War-rant Officer Bheki Xulu. “Crimes such asrobberies, vehicle theft, hijacking and bur-glaries will be monitored with the system,which will improve the police’s ability todetain and convict criminals,” he says.

Silver medal for young fencerLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A Pinelands fencer was recently namedas one of the world’s best when heachieved remarkable results in consecu-tive major international tournaments.Adam Schroeder took silver at the Ca-

det and Junior African Championshipsin Egypt in March and followed up witha top 64 finish at the Cadet and JuniorWorld Championships in Bulgaria lastmonth.The Pinelands High School pupil is

proud of his achievements.“I was really happy with my results at

the African Championships,” he says.“I didn’t think Iwould do sowell. It was

a lot harder at theWorld Championships.It’s (much) bigger and the competition ismuch better. The best fencing happens inEurope, so all the European countries dowell. I was very happy with my results.I improved a lot since last year and I canonly improve more.”Schroeder has been competing in the

sport for only three years.He took up fencing after hearing about

it and seeing pictures. He fell in love withthe sport when he attended his first prac-tice.“I love fencing because of the versatili-

ty. There is so much you can do and somuch to it,” Schroeder says.“There are so many tactics and strate-

gies – that’s why fencing is known as‘physical chess’. It’s also cool becauseyou’re using a sword. I played aroundwith wooden swords when I was young-er.”Schroeder’s love for fencing has only

increased since taking up the sport. Lastyear he saw a sharp improvement in hisperformances.The 17-year-old’s form saw him finish

the year as the top ranked fencer usingthe épée weapon in the Cadet (under-17)and Junior (under-20) age groups.

He also achieved his national coloursfor the first time.Schroeder say simple diligence and

dedication were the secret to his im-provement.“I trained more often – I fenced five

times a week, I was in the gym five timesa week and I watched a lot more fencingand took notes,” he says.“I alsohadmore lessons. I just putmore

effort into it and it paid off.”Schroeder intends to keep up his high

level training, with the aim of retaininghis Junior division number one ranking.But he has even bigger dreams for the

near future.“I want to make the top 64 at least, and

hopefully the top 32 at the Junior WorldChampionships next year,” he says.“My dream is to (compete) at the 2020

and 2024 Olympic Games. I would love to(finish in) the top eight.”

Triathlete aimsfor the trebleLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A Claremont residenthas set her sights on athird triathlon world

title after a promising show-ing in a recent Cape Townrace.Viv Williams won the

World Triathlon Series(WTS) Olympic distanceworld championship in herage group in Germany in2007 and the WTS worldlong distance champion-ships in her age group inSpain in 2012.Now the 52-year-old aims

to do the same in the half-ironman distance at theIronman World Champion-ship in Canada in Septem-ber, after taking bronze inthe WTS Cape Town wom-en’s veterans’ race at theend of April.“I start training for the

world championships in thenext two weeks,” she says.“I don’t know if I will be

on the top step of the podium again, but thatis my goal. I would like to finish in the top-three, but it would be nice to win gold.”Williams finished the Cape Town WTS

race behind Netherlands athlete Kelly vande Troon (first) and British participant Jen-ny Nel (second).This is the first timeaWTSeventwashost-

ed in South Africa. Williams was happy tosecure a podium finish in her home town,but says it doesn’t compare to a world cham-pionship victory.

“I raced really well, but itwas nothing like winning aworld championshipevent,” Williams says.“It was fantastic to be

part of it, but the worldchampionship victorieswere very important tome.”Williams has been partic-

ipating in the sport for 24years and competed profes-sionally from 1995 to 1999.Since taking up the sport

of triathlon she hasamassed several titles and along list of achievements.Williams won her age

group in the 2008 Pick n PayCape Argus Cycle Tour,won the 2011, 2012 and 2014Ironman South Africa 70.3age group titles and has at-tempted to pass on herknowledge as manager andcoach of the TriathlonSouth Africa elite, develop-ment and junior squads.She says she loves the

sport as much now as whenshe started.

“I started out as a road runner and I wasalways a swimmer, but had never been ona bicycle,” she says.“Once you start competing, it’s addictive.

I just love the training. I managed to travelthe world as a professional when I wasyounger and now I’m really enjoying it asa age group participant.”The Ironman World Championships will

take place on Sunday 7 September. It will beWilliams’ first time at an Ironman WorldChampionship.

THIRD TIME LUCKY: Claremontresident and Rustenberg GirlsSchool teacher Viv Williams aimsto win her third world title in thesport of triathlon in September.

‘Black and Yellow’ on a goal huntLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Milano United will need to win big to haveany hope of qualifying for theAbsa Premier-ship promotion/relegation play-offs.The Grassy Park side are currently fourth

on the National First Division (NFD) table,level on points and goal difference withthird-placedBlackLeopards but trailing dueto an inferior number of goals scored.Milano can still finish the season placed

second or third and qualify for the play-offs,but will need to pull off a high-scoring victo-ry in their final game or pick upwhat pointsthey can and hope for favourable results inother fixtures.Any of the sides from second to fifth place

can still finish in the second and third spots.Second-placed Baroka FC will host 10th-

placed Thanda Royal Zulu, and will be ex-pect to pull of a win to increase their pointstally to 52 to seal second place.Third-placedBlack Leopardswill travel to

fifth-placed Jomo Cosmos, who could in-crease their points total to 49 and climb to

third on the table if they win and Milano donot.The Black and Yellow will host Chippa

United, who were crowned league champi-ons on Sunday.Theywill finishwith 50 points should they

win.Should Barokawin – as expected – andMi-

lano and Black Leopards win by the samenumber of goals, Leopardswill remain thirdthanks to a higher amount of goals scored.Should Baroka draw or lose, victories for

Leopards and Milano will see both sides gothrough – with goal difference or goalsscored again the deciding factor for whichteam finishes higher.Milano United lost 1-0 to Chippa in the re-

verse fixture in December and have scoredthe least goals in the top four this season.All signs seem to indicate that the Black

and Yellow could struggle to pull off any vic-tory, never mind one which improves theirgoal difference significantly.V Milano United vs Chippa United will take place atRooikrans Sports Complex in Ninth Avenue, GrassyPark at 15:00 on Sunday 11 May.

Tigers tears up Super League ALIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

UCT installed themselves as early sea-son Super League A title favouriteswith a fourth comprehensive victory

last weekend.The Ikey Tigers are the only side to have

playedmore thanone gameand takenmax-imum points from all, and currently topthe league standings.They launched straight into their Super

League A campaign after winning the Var-sity Cup, with the momentum serving

them well.The Tigers kicked off the campaign with

a 49-22 demolition of Tygerberg at FloridaPark, before thrashing NNK 64-28 at theJan Burger Stadium, cruising past KuilsRiver 38-12 at the Green Mile and pummel-ling Primrose 49-11 at Rosmead on Satur-day.The bonus point victories means UCT

have a points total of 20 and lead second-placed Victorians by five points.However, their toughest test so far comes

on Saturday in the form of rivals Stellen-bosch University – also unbeaten after

three matches and third on 14 points.UCT beat Maties both home and a away

in the Varsity Cup this year, and the Ma-roon Machine will be itching for revenge.Maties will have to improve on their last

showing, a narrow 19-18 win against toptier newcomers False Bay at home on Sat-urday.Both UCT and Stellenbosch will also be

in action on Wednesday 14 May, facing SKWalmers and Helderberg respectively.Hamiltons are also expected to put in a

strong challenge for the Super League A ti-tle this season after a promising showing

at the Community Cup.The Sea Point side finished third, losing

just once during the tournament.South Africa’s oldest club edged Victori-

ans 31-28 in their opening game last Satur-day and can be expected to pull off anotherwin away against Kuils River this week-end.SK Walmers will travel to face Helder-

berg in their fifth game of the season, look-ing to pick up their third victory.Meanwhile, FalseBaywill hostBelhar in

their fourth game and be looking to securetheir third win of the season.
