DIEP RIVER: CONGESTION AND SPEEDING CONCERNS

Traffic worries at a peakASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Concerns about heavy trafficand speeding on Old KendalRoad in Diep River have been

raised.A resident, who does not want

her name published, says she hasraised her concerns with South Pe-ninsula High School as the buseswhich transport the pupils to andfrom school are one of the majorcontributors to traffic congestion.

“The buses have no access to theschool property and park on theside of the road – almost in the road– making it very difficult for othermotorists to pass,” she says.

She is calling on the City of CapeTown to take action to alleviate thetraffic congestion in the area.

However, South Peninsula HighSchool principal Brian Isaacs saysthe traffic congestion is only creat-ed for up to 15 minutes in the morn-ing and in the afternoon – at 08:15when the buses drop the pupils offand at 14:15 when they are collect-ed.

“This is not something that takesplace throughout the day. All weask is for residents and motoriststo be patient,” he says.

Isaacs explains the reason thebuses do not drive into the schoolis due to the sportsfield already be-ing in a poor state due to rain. “Thegrass is muddy and wet and we can-not expect our pupils to walk inthat mud. Also, the buses will fur-ther damage the ground,” he says.

Isaacs says no one has come tothe school directly to complainabout the buses, but he welcomesanyone to come forward if theyhave suggestions on how to im-prove the traffic situation.

“We want to live in harmony andif we want peace we need to worktogether. We speak to our pupils aswell and advise them not to causeany road rage when crossing theroad or when getting in and out ofthe buses,” he says.

However, Richard Bosman, the

executive director for Safety andSecurity, says the City has not re-ceived any complaints from resi-dents.

“In light of (People’s Post’s) me-dia enquiry, the area will be moni-tored and action taken where nec-essary,” he says.

Brett Herron, Mayoral Commit-tee member for Transport, says thearea will be monitored to deter-mine the cause of the issues.

“We have not received any com-plaints regarding traffic conges-tion caused by buses at the school.However, this can be investigatedif further details are provided,” hesays.

With regard to the issue with the

buses being a problem, Herronsays an embayment, a surfacedwidening to the left of the road, al-lows for vehicles such as buses thatare travelling in the westbound di-rection, to pull left out of the laneto stop without impeding trafficflowing in the same direction.

The resident further claims thatthere is no pedestrian crossing,which makes it difficult for pupilsand other pedestrians to cross theroad safely.

But Herron says there is a pedes-trian tramline crossing where pe-destrians can cross the road whenit is safe to do so.

“We will, however, evaluate thecurrent layout to determine wheth-

er any safety improvements couldpossibly be made to this crossingpoint,” he says.

The resident is also concernedabout street racing which, sheclaims, takes place every day of theweek in the early hours of themorning. “I hear the cars drivingup and down at a very dangerousspeed. I do think placing speedbumps in the road will bring thatdangerous action to an immediatehalt,” she says.

But Herron says there is a speedbump about 185m east of the pedes-trian crossing at the school, as wellas a four-way stop about 110m westof the pedestrian crossing.

“It is possible to provide addi-

tional speed bumps and improve-ments to the mid-block pedestriancrossing, should current measuresbe found to be inadequate,” headds.

Herron adds a few years ago andat the time when the City imple-mented the traffic calming meas-ures, the school did not foresee theneed for such measures outsidetheir premises.

“The school [installed] gates inthe side roads for pupils to entertheir premises. It is unclear wheth-er these gates are still in use.”

Direct requests for traffic calm-ing measures to the subcouncil orlocal councillor for the City to in-vestigate the matter.

BONNYTOUN: RESIDENTS WANT PROBLEMATIC TENANTS EVICTED

Plea to remove crime densMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A dark cloud is hanging over the Bonny-toun informal settlement in Wynbergas residents are calling on the City of

Cape Town to evict the occupants of “prob-lematic shacks”.

The settlement is rife with allegations ofdrug dealing and prostitution and residentssay they are fed-up.

This follows another arrest at shack B16for drug dealing. Wynberg police have exe-cuted several raids in the informal settle-ment with B16 resulting in the most arrests.

Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Sil-vino Davids says on Wednesday 30 July twoundercover police officers purchased tikfrom two women, aged 32 and 51.

“We sent in the first officer and after a suc-cessful transaction, we sent in another,” hesays.

Officers then swooped in and searched thepremiseswhere they foundR440 in cash, sev-eral tik straws and 27 stoppe dagga.

Thewomenwere arrested and appeared inWynberg Magistrates’ Court the next daywhere they received bail.

The 51-year-oldwoman is apermanent res-ident ofB16 and shares thedwellingwithherboyfriend.

A resident, who spoke on condition of ano-nymity, says the couple is considered per-manent residents of Bonnytoun by the Cityas they are on the official list.

She explains due to a court order the City

has to accommodate a certain number of res-idents and is unable to evict them.

The woman says the couple has been a“problem for years” and the dubious activi-ties has seen their dwelling become a “suik-erhuisie”.

“The youngsters come to her to tik andsleep over. They have parties on weekendsand school children can be seen bunkingschool,” she says.

In addition, the resident explains, young-er children are at risk as the “dodgy menwho frequent the dwelling are scary”.

“Children don’t want to play outside andit is scary here at night. We sit in our housesand are scared there will be a fight or shoot-ing,” she says.

The resident questions why the City doesnot “get rid” of the couple. “They have arecord, there is proof,” she adds.

Mayoral Committee member for Human

Settlements Siyabulela Mamkeli says theyhave received complaints which have beenhanded over to police, LawEnforcement andthe Metro Police Drug Unit.

He says the City relies on police to “dulyexercise their legal duty”.

“The City cannot evict people without fol-lowing a legal process, taking the Preven-tion of Illegal Eviction Act into considera-tion,” Mamkeli explains.

He says the City will need to apply for aneviction order, but “evicting a whole familyunder these circumstancewould be very dif-ficult”. There are also concerns about 17 ille-gal shacks where police have executed vari-ous drug-related arrests.

These shacks, the resident claims, are notpart of the City’s list. Davids confirms ar-rests at these dwellings and says crimesrange from drug dealing to robbery and pos-session of stolen items.

In addition, he says, many criminals giveaddresses in Bonnytoun when applying forparole.

“Some of them never even lived there be-fore, so with ex-convicts congregating therethe situation is becomingworse,” Davids ex-plains.

Mamkeli confirms that these 17 shacks areillegal and says in August last year InformalSettlements Management conducted a sur-vey and illegal structures were recorded,which were reported to Anti-Land InvasionUnit. Subsequently, he says, unoccupiedstructures were removed.

Asked what action the City was takingagainst these illegal occupants, Mamkelisays: “The police have conducted severalraids and arrests have been made.”V Do you think these people should be evicted? Start-ing with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516.SMSes cost R1.

DIEP RIVER: FISH FACTORY OWNER SPEAKS OUT

Airing his viewsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

While residents living near a fish fac-tory in Elfindale continue to be af-fected by an odour emanating from

the premises, the owner says he has doneall he can to neutralise the smell.

Responding to the concerns raised by res-idents (“Furore over fishmiasma”,People’sPost, 31 July) owner Trevor Grey says hehas done all asked of him.

He explains Greys Marine moved to itscurrent location 18 years ago and startedfrying fish 12 years ago.

Grey explains it is hard to state whencomplaints about the smell started asmanyof the initial complaintswereunofficial andnot made through the correct channels.

He says several operational changesweremade to minimise the impact of the busi-ness on the community.

These include moving the shifts from07:00 to 19:00 to resolve the issue with noisecoming from taxis picking up staff, hiringa private waste collection company to pickup waste three times a week and the smok-ing of fish was stopped.

According to Mayoral Committee mem-ber for Health Benedicta van Minnen, thefirst complaint was lodged in 2008 from anoccupant in Prime Park, Mocke Road, DiepRiver. “Another complaint was lodged in2013 from a representative of the residents’association and through the ward council-lor,” she explains.

Grey says since the official complaintswere received, City officials made severalrecommendations on suggested changes. “Ihave done everything the officials have rec-ommended. I am not here to make enemieswith the community and have done all I canto reduce the smell,” he says.

However, a resident who has made com-plaints and spoke on condition of anonymi-

ty, says: “He has not done all he can. Heneeds proper building approval, he needsmore effective and more regular mainte-nance of whatever system is installed andhe needs to observe all relevant legisla-tion”.

However, Grey says, the buildingwas notbuilt by him and building plans were ap-proved. He explains the business obtaineda permit to process fish by the Departmentof Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(Daff).

VanMinnen says in anattempt to addressthe complaints, the officials met with thefactory’s management. Several interven-tions were implemented including extend-ing the chimney from 1.5m to 9m, installinga vertical discharge unit and ahigher veloc-ity extraction unit. She says the existing ex-traction unit was dismantled and newgrease filters installed.

“They made major improvements to thefiltration system. However, the efficacy ofthe interventions still needs to be deter-mined,” she explains.

Grey says following complaints beingmade between June 2013 and February thisyear, he called for a site meeting with offi-cials. Here he says hewas told by an officialthat there was no mechanism to measurethe smell.

“If the officials said here is the limit andyou are above the limit by x amount, I willgladly changewhatneeds tobe changed, butwithout a measurement I am not sure whatto do,” he explains.

The resident says there “is an instrumentand process that can be used to measuresmells”.

“What is not clear is what level of smellis unacceptable in South Africa and thisneeds to be determined. His contention thathe can therefore continue to pollute the airis questionable,” she says.

The woman says there are various lawswhich protect the environment and peoplesuch as the National Environmental Man-agement Act (Nema).

Van Minnen says the statement that thesmell cannotbemeasured is factually incor-rect. “Themeasurementof odour is possiblebut for all intents andpurposes it is difficultandquite costly to achieve and is complicat-ed by the fact that South Africa does nothave any legislative standards for odourcausing substances.”

Van Minnen says the main issue regard-ing odour is that it is a subjective percep-tion that determines whether the odour isacceptable or not. Grey says the intensityof the smell is the same but depending onthewinddirection in summer it blowsawayfrom residents and winter towards houses.

“I have noticed complaints increase dur-ing winter and there are times during theyearwhen frying timemight be increased,”he says, adding that while he understandsthe complaints he has completed all tasksset out by the City to improve the situation.

“I have done everything asked ofme. I amopen to suggestions,” he adds.V Do you think the intensity of the smell is subjective?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to32516. SMSes cost R1.

WYNBERG: SOCIAL MEDIA GETS THEM TALKING

Residents getconnectedMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Anewsocialme-dia group forWynberg East

is gaining traction.With crime notifi-

cations, traffic ob-structions, eventsand civic matters,the Wynberg EastBulletin Facebookgroup is becoming ahit with residents.Started by resi-

dent Michael Wil-cox, the group isaimed at getting res-idents to share in-formation and en-gage about impor-tant issues.The group was

created a few weeksago and so far crimein the area has tak-en centre stage.Wilcox explains with the absence of a

ratepayers’ association, residents needed aplatform to raise their concerns.“The group is a way of bringing people

together. Wynberg East is a unique and di-verse community and we all have a com-mon interest in the wellbeing of our com-munity,” he says.Wilcox has also contacted the Sector 2

NeighbourhoodWatchwhich covers the ar-ea bound by the railway line, as well as Ot-

tery, Wetton and South roads for permis-sion to load updates.“It will be a nice way of informing people

of the crime trends and what to look outfor,” he says.The group is most busiest on weekends

as residents post information about crimes.These include robberies in Park Road,

gun shots and metal theft in the area.V To join the group, go to Facebook and search Wyn-berg East Bulletin.

Top youth soccertourney nearsTASMIN CUPIDO

@TazzCup

The countdown to the Cape’s biggestyouth soccer showcase has begun.There are only seven days left before

the finals of the 2014 Engen Knockout Chal-lenge kicks-off.And the 16 under-17 teams who will vie

for the spoils andbragging rights are ready-ing themselves to fulfil their ultimatedream of being crowned the champions ofCape Town. For the first time, the winnerswillmatch theirmettle against the other re-gional Engen Knockout Challenge winnersat the Engen Champs of Champs in Sowetoin October.The Cape Town tournament, of which

People’s Post is the print media sponsor,will be held at the Stephan Reagan SportsComplex in Westridge, Mitchell’s Plainfrom Friday 22 to Sunday 24 August. Theteams have already been drawn into com-petitive pools and spectators can look for-ward to tantalising clashes on the pitch.After a round-robin group stage, the

teams will commence with knockoutmatches to eventually crown the 2014 Chal-lenge champions. A total of 48 matches willbe played over the three days.Group A features defending champions

Ajax Cape Town, All Stars Youth FootballDevelopment, Hellenic FC and Old MutualAcademy. The Urban Warriors will morethan likely end as the top side in the group,as they look to palm their fourth consecu-tive title. Pinelands’ OldMutual will proba-bly end second in the group, but they willface tough opposition from the other twosides. This group has been labelled thedreaded “group of death”.In Group B, last year’s runner’s-up ASD

Cape Town are likely to finish top thegroup, but theywill bewary of the challeng-es from Grassy Park’s Milano United, At-lantic Nacional and debutants WesternCape Sports School.Hosts Santos FC will look to stamp their

authority and intentions to win the tourna-ment by winning Group C, but they willface stiff competition from Mitchell’sPlain’s Liverpool-Portland, Glendene FCand Blue Downs FC.Group D offers the best prospect for min-

nows to advance to the championshiprounds, despite the presence of PSL sideChippa United. The Philippi side have beensomewhat mediocre in the tournament inthe past, which should open the way forgroup victory challenges from Pinelands’JMI Academy, Hanover Park United andCrusaders FC from Grassy Park.
