Concerns have been raised that this canal is used by vagrants, criminals and prostitutes. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

Clarion call for canalMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

An underground canal in Wynberg hassparked concern among residents.This follows a spate of break-ins at

properties south of Maynardville Park.The opening to the canal which is bor-

dered by Piers Road, Devonshire Road, Vrie-denhof and Oak Avenue has been inspectedby the neighbourhood watch and found toharbour vagrants’ possessions.During a site meeting at the canal last

week, members of the neighbourhoodwatchand theWynbergResidents’ andRatepayers’Association (WRRA), raised various con-cerns about safety, access and prostitution.According to Brett Herron, City of Cape

Townmayoral committeemember for trans-port, the stormwater system originates inWynberg Park, crosses under WaterlooRoad and flows downstream in a combina-tion of underground and open systemsbefore discharging into the MaynardvillePond.“From this point on, the system is predom-

inantly an open-lined canal running downOak/Devonshire roads and then throughprivate property with culverts at the roadcrossings. As from Sherard Square, the sys-tem flows underground and eventually dis-charges into the Diep River in Main Road,”he explains.Resident JulianEmdon explainswhile the

canal is designed to carry stormwater, it alsoserves as a concealed pathway throughmuch of Wynberg for people who, for what-ever reason, don’t want to be seen walkingon the streets.“As it runs adjacent to many properties it

also serves as an access point to those prop-erties, where an intruder is free to break afence without being watched as they wouldbe on the street.”In addition, he says, there is clear evi-

dence that it is being used as shelter by thehomeless.“This is obviously dangerous and unsani-

tary. Anybody who is sleeping there may bedrowned should stormwater suddenly flowthrough the canal.“Human waste is carried through the

neighbourhood in the open air rather thana sewer. The blankets, clothing and otherwaste left by those seeking shelter in the ca-nal also impede the stormwater function of

the canal and have the capability to causeflooding in the neighbourhood.”At the site meeting residents raised con-

cerns about recent break-ins at propertiessurrounding the canal.This was confirmed by Wynberg police.

According to police spokesperson WarrantOfficer Silvino Davids there have been bur-glaries at properties in surrounding roadsaswell, includingWellington and Cogill roads.“The canal is known for being a sleeping

place for vagrants but if the area was fencedoff preventing people from accessing it, itwould be safer. The canal does provide anescape route for criminals tomove undetect-ed,” he says.Commenting on complaints that the

grassed area around the canal is being used

by prostitutes, WRRA chairperson KristinaDavidson says better lighting may alleviatethe problem.She also says access to the canal needs to

be restricted and the fence should berepaired.Herron says the City has received com-

plaints about illegal dumping and street peo-ple and requests to erect swing gates acrossthe canal for security.He says erecting swing gates is not sup-

ported due to the potential flood risk to sur-rounding properties. “This particularstormwater system is under capacity andovertopping of the canal copings duringmajor rainfall events is a regular occur-rence. Placing any obstructions would thusincrease the flood risk significantly.”

Responding to questions about the fen-cing, Herron explains the City only main-tains fences at road crossings.“The fences at the canal were erected in

the past to restrict access to the canal butthe downside is that access for maintenancepurposes becomes restricted.“Fences along portions of the canal which

cross private property must be maintainedor erected by the property owners.”He further says the proposal to install

lights at the canal will be investigated by theCity.V If you have complaints about the canal call the City’scall centre on 0860 103 089.V What are your concerns about the canal? Startingwith the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516.SMSes cost R1.

CITY RENTAL UNITS

Policy controls home fixesMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

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

City of Cape Town rental units.Themaintenance of these units across Cape

Town is often a bone of contention in manycommunities but anewpolicy aims to addressthis by prioritising repair work.

Last week, the City released its draft com-munity residential unit maintenance policy

for public comment.According to the policy there are a range

of issues affecting City rental units.The City maintains 45 000 rental units

and 11 000 hostel beds.

ChallengesBenedicta van Minnen, mayoral commit-tee member for human settlements, saysmajor maintenance and upgrading is re-quired due to the age of rental units.

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

Van Minnen explains the high level ofnon-payment of rental by tenants also im-pacts funding. The high incidence of van-dalism, theft and abuse of municipal servi-ces infrastructure in these units is also achallenge.

She further explains gangsterism, vio-lence and associated illegal activities con-tribute to a dangerous and stressful work-ing environment for personnel.Mental andphysical health deterioration among staffis also a challenge faced by the department.

MaintenanceResponding to questions about staff alloca-tions and the inspection of rental units,Van Minnen explains the public housingmaintenance staff cannot conduct door-to-door surveys, but do high-level block as-sessments once a year when the budget re-quest is compiled.

“The City relies on residents to reportany issues so that they can be addressed,especially in terms of health and safetymatters. The City also uses expanded pub-lic works programme workers to assist

where possible.”She says non-payment by tenants directly

influences 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 frommatters relating tohealthand safety.”

She says there are various levels ofdefaulting tenants but themunicipality oftenrequests they make arrangements if theycannot pay. “In general, payment levels varybetween 40% to 42% across the city. It is im-portant to note that the collection rate in thealready upgraded units went up from 28% to45%,” she adds.

FundingFor the 2014/2015 financial year, the munici-pality received a once-off lifetime renovationgrant from national government which al-lowed it to upgrade 7000 units at a cost ofR1.2bn.

Van Minnen explains those units may notaccess grant repair funding again and must

be maintained by the City in the future.“Therefore tenants must please pay their

rent to enable high levels of maintenancein the future.”

On average, the municipality spendsR15m each year on day-to-daymaintenancewhich 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.

PolicyThenewdraft policy categorises andpriori-tises repairs to ensure that health and safe-ty repairs are attended to first.

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

The policy proposes maintenance workbe divided into four categorieswhich rangefrom “very high” priority to “low” priorityand according to levels.

For the first two levels, which are consid-ered “very high” or “high” priority, main-tenance includes emergency repairs in theevent of a disaster, anything which posesa health risk, structural damage to a unitand electrical repairs.

For the two lower levels, namely “medi-um” and “low” priority, maintenance cov-ers windows, ceilings, internal doors andlocks and toilet seat replacements.

The comment period on the new policycloses on Thursday 30 April.VTo 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].

COMMUNICARE

Housing openingsnow advertisedmore frequentlyASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

After reviewing its application proc-ess a social and affordable housingenterprise has introduced a new

process for advertising its vacancies.The changes made are based on feed-

back from applicants.Communicare owns and manages 3375

rental units and has been providing sub-sidised rental accommodation in theCape for 85 years,

CEO Anthea Houston says peopleseeking accommodation could previous-ly apply twice a year on 1 April and 1 Oc-tober. “Their names were retained on awaiting list for six months and thismeant all prospective applicants had tophysically go to the Communicare offi-ces – many having to take time off fromwork to apply,” she says.

Houston says Communicare only hasabout 500 vacancies each year but thou-sands of people usually applied. Thismeans that they waited very long and be-came frustrated. Many people also reap-plied several times.

“Since we only have a limited numberof vacant units available every month,maintaining a waiting list is not effec-tive. Instead, from mid-April onwardsvacant units will be advertised at Com-municare’s area offices in Ruyterwacht,Diep River and Brooklyn,” she says.

They will also be advertised in com-munity newspapers and on websitessuch as Gumtree (www.gumtree.co.za)and the Communicare website(www.communicare.org.za).

“While our application criteria re-

mains unchanged, we are committed toinclusion in our complexes and to re-flecting the diversity of the city of CapeTown. All people are welcome as our ten-ants and we see that each new vacancygives us an opportunity to integrate ourtenant population,” says Houston.

Communicare allocates vacant unitson a “first come first served” basis to ap-plicants that meet the qualifying criteriafor the available unit.

These criteria include considerationfor the demographic profile of the com-plex and of Communicare’s overall ten-ant population.

However, a concerned woman saysmany of the seniors are not aware of thisnew process as they will only be in-formed when they go to the organisa-tion’s office on 1 October.

“Many of the seniors are not comput-er-literate. This is a concern as I was toldthat in future they would have to look forvacancies by using the internet and thiscould impact negatively on the healthand/or wellbeing of the seniors,” shesays.

However, according to Communicaremarketing manager Raymond Schullerthe mediums chosen are easily accessi-ble and free to members of the public.

“The new application process includesthe option of completing the initial appli-cation process online.”

Schuller says people who do not haveaccess to the internet can email [email protected] to find outwhether any units are vacant. Alterna-tively, they can visit Communicare’s ar-ea offices to view vacancies on the no-ticeboards and apply.

Son shot inPlumsteadhijackingDiep River police are on the hunt for threemen who hijacked a Plumstead father andhis son on Monday last week.

According to a police report the Plum-stead father parked his Mercedes Benz inhis driveway at 20:30 and waited for his 26-year-old son.

He was approached by three men whoasked for water from the garden tap.

Police spokesperson Warrant OfficerKeith Chandler says the men then held himup at gunpoint and proceeded to search him.

“The suspects then climbed into the resi-dent’s Mercedes, registration CA 434434. Bythis time the resident’s son came out andsaw what was happening and shouted atthem. The suspect with the firearm pointedthe firearm at the son and fired a shot,wounding the son in the right hand.”

The son was rushed to Victoria Hospitaland the vehicle was last seen in Steenberg.V Anyone with information is urged to call WarrantOfficer Steven Young on 021 710 7350.

WATER SUPPLY DISRUPTION:EMPIRE ROAD, HOUT BAYThursday 9 April 2015

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero-pressure test on the water supply feeding the water supply zone in Hout Bay on Thursday9 April 2015.

This process will result in the disruption of the water supply to Hout Bay from 22:00 until04:00 the following morning.

Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure minimaldisruption to the water supply in the affected areas.

The water supply network across the City is divided into reticulation zones which are smallerand much more manageable sections of the large network for purposes of maintenanceand upgrades. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and the subsequent water losses.

Residents are advised to store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use duringthis period.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

Prisoners in afight against TBMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Inmates at Pollsmoor Prison are makingstrides in the fight against tuberculosis(TB).With an increase in the number of

inmates the infamous prison is currently199% overcrowded, creating the perfectopportunity for TB to spread.During a briefing held at the prison last

week Ntobeko Mketsane, area commission-er for the department of correctional servi-ces, revealed shocking statistics.In his presentation he explained there

were 8642 offenders. In the admissioncentre, which is built to house 1619 inmates,there are currently 4254 inmates.

He said the spread of TB was threateningthe health of inmates but also their familiesand communities.For this reason, the prison has partnered

with the TB/HIV Care Association, thehealth department and the National HealthLaboratory Services (NHLS) to ensure thatall inmates entering the prison arescreened, diagnosed and treated quickly.“Through this partnership we now have

six counsellors, two nurses, two enrollednurses, data capturers and a radiologist toassist us”.TB/HIVCareAssociation chief executive

Harry Hausler explains patients are diag-nosed in two hours and can then be treatedsooner, hindering the spread of the disease.For the period between March 2013 and

February this year, 68 152 inmates havebeen screened.More than 700 patients have been treated

for TB, of which 28 have been treated formulti-drug resistant TB.Hausler says one TB patient can infect up

to 20 others, meaning the early detectionhas led to the prevention of over 14 000 pos-sible infections.According to Delekile Klaas, regional

commissioner of the department of correc-tional services, there is a 86.6% cure rate inprison across the Western Cape.He explains the department is looking at

ways to expand Pollsmoor Prison’s success-ful programme to other prisons in smallertowns.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

WATER SUPPLY DISRUPTION:MEADOWRIDGE, BERGVLIET ANDDREYERSDALTuesday 14 April 2015

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero-pressure test on the water supply feeding the water supply zone in Wynberg, on Tuesday14 April 2015.

This process will result in the disruption of the water supply to Meadowridge, Bergvliet andDreyersdal from 22:00 until 04:00 the following morning.

Careful consideration has been given to the planning of this work to ensure minimaldisruption to the water supply in the affected areas.

The water supply network across the City is divided into reticulation zones which are smallerand much more manageable sections of the large network for purposes of maintenanceand upgrades. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and the subsequent water losses.

Residents are advised to store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use duringthis period.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

WYNBERG

Grade 8s prepare for DIYASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Pupils at a school in Wynberghave taken it upon themselvesto beautify their school’s ablu-

tion facilities.But they need the help of the com-

munity and local businesses.Amina Pillay, a Grade 8 pupil at

Wynberg High School, and her fel-low classmates believe a clean envi-ronment is a healthy one.

Speaking on behalf of the Grade 8pupils involved in the “toiletproject”, she says: “The toilet facili-ties are run-down and not a place Iwant to go into.”

Amina says she feels as though itis her duty to do something tobrighten up the girls and boys’ toiletfacilities.

“Wemake use of it throughout theday and it is also our responsibilitytomake sure it is left in a good condi-tion for the next person to use,” shesays.

Amina explains that there is a lotto be done in the ablution facilitiesbut they are ready to tackle theproject.

A teacher at the school, EllenFedele, says theGrade 8s have askedto improve the school toilets as anew project in the coming term.

“We are hoping to get paint andbrushes sponsored so that we as agrade can repaint them and sprucethem up in general,” she says.

When People’s Post visited theschool and toured the toilet facilitiesit was found that some of the lightsin the boys’ toilets were not work-ing, with wire hanging out of thelight sockets.

In the girls’ bathroom the wallsare covered in dirt and pen and pen-cil marks.

“It is not a nice place to go into –

it is not inviting at all,” Amina says.The pupils hope that they can

come together through the projectand do something positive.

Theyare inneedof paint, brushes,light fittings and bulbs.

The pupils hope to start theproject next term as soon as theyhave all the equipment andproductsthey need and are therefore tryingto rally as many people as possibleto donate their time or fund theproject.

“I hope that when we are donewith the project pupils will be proudand enjoy the new space created forthem as well as for guests to theschool,” Amina says.

Pupils at a school inWynberg are callingon the communityand business ownersto help them tobeautify their school’sablution facilities bydonating money orequipment.

Eat, review to feed othersA local food website and maga-zine is teaming up with foodiesto feed needy children.Eat Out, primarily an online

guide to dining out in the coun-try, also publishes a magazineon SA’s top 500 restaurants. It iscurrently fundraising in aid ofStop Hunger Now SA.The charity aims to end hun-

Her name is Katrina Muller. She is 48 yearsold and she is Running for Luca.Katrina lives in Heathfield with her hus-

bandBrent anddaughtersLuca (6) andChar-ly (3). Her son Ivo (28) lives in Gardens. Kat-rina is originally from Germany and hasbeen living in South Africa since 2001 whereshe met her husband, Brent.“I was always into sport, but never with

my whole heart. And then Luca was born.Beautiful. With Down's Syndrome.“So I have this pain in me since then, a

kind of guilt that there was nothing I couldhave done or nothing I could do to take itaway.Butwhen I run, I run forher. It’s print-ed on my shirt and in my heart and that iswhat I can do for her,” Katrina says.“That is why I started Running for Luca

ayearago. It is to raise awareness forDown'sSyndrome.When I comehomewithmymed-al, Luca knows Mommy ran for her and themedal is hers. Running sets me free in myheart, it takes the pain away, at least for awhile . . .“It’s about all our children with disabili-

ties. I’m fighting for acceptance .Our chil-dren are beautiful and very much able to fitinto society. Theymust be able to go tomain-stream schools and study. I stand up for

them to be included. All they need is a littleextra help.”According to her, communities need to be

open about people with disabilities. “We asparents should not struggle to find a schoolwhere they can study, play and makefriends. Our children are more alike thandifferent.” Katrina says that the purpose ofRunning for Luca is to get this message outthere so thatmore people get educated aboutdisabilities, and then there will be more ac-ceptance. “The vision of Running for Lucais to give children and adults with disabili-ties a place where they can participate insport together and with able bodied people.Running for Luca wants to help other initia-tives to raise money or simple raise aware-ness,” she says.According to Katrina people – especially

within the runner community –haveeducat-ed themselves and changed their attitude to-wards people with Down's Syndrome sinceshe started Running For Luca.“And they are now the ambassadors for

our children. RunnerswearingRunningForLuca shirts at events have been seen by somany people.“Somy vision is simple: We are all human

beings and we all have the human right ofbeing loved and accepted for who we are,perfect in our imperfection.”
