The Entilini toll plaza on Chapman’s PeakDrive was opened last week, but Hout Bayresidents are still outraged that the plaza

was even built.Entilini Operations general manager Mark

Jacobs says the plaza was opened at 06:00 onThursday but no official opening ceremony washeld.Chairperson of the Residents’ Association of

Hout Bay Len Swimmer describes the plaza as“monstrous”.“It is a scar on the mountain,” he says.“Public opinion was completely ignored on

this development, even after 10 000 people pro-tested against it!” (“Protestors to march againstChapman’s Peak office block”, People’s Post, 17January 2012.)Swimmer adds residents believe that themon-

ey used to build the toll plaza could have beenbetter spent on schools, clinics andhouses in thearea.“Entilini has an office in Hout Bay which

would have been sufficient for these operations.A boom gate on Chapman’s Peak Drive wouldhave been enough. Instead, they decided towaste millions of the taxpayer’s rands (on thedevelopment).”Jacobs says the Hout Bay offices are not ade-

quate for the service provided by the toll plaza.“To operate a business and perform associatedtasks diligently, you need proper and decent fa-cilities.”He says the mountainside will now be re-

stored to its original condition as temporarystructures are removed.“We are in the process of decommissioning

and removing the old plaza infrastructure andthe entire process should be completed withintwo weeks.”Jacobs addsEntilini’s function is only to oper-

ate andmaintain the road. “We are not responsi-ble for any upgrades and such recommendationwill come directly from the Provincial Govern-ment if deemed necessary.”Jacobs saysChapman’s PeakDrivewas closed

for eight hours prior to the opening of the tollplaza to ensure systems were properly integrat-ed. However, no road closures have been sched-uled for the immediate future.V What are you views on the Entilini toll plaza? Will yoube using the plaza in the future?

MICHELLE LINNERT

If turning on your geyser is becoming a luxu-ry, your pocket has probably been hit hard bythe rocketing cost of electricity.Consumers are strictly adjusting their pow-

er consumption as the price of electricityunits steadily start eating at their budgets.But a policy known as net metering –

through which consumers generate electrici-ty using solar panels – could mean the end ofskyhigh costs, an energy expert reveals.DavidLipschitz, the owner of renewable en-

ergy company My Power Station, insists thatalthough theCity ofCapeTownhasnetmeter-

ing tariffs, it is “doing everything in itspower to prevent the adoption of net meter-ing”.And an Eskom employee, who asks not to

be named, agrees with Lipschitz.He explains how the “power struggle”

over electricity actually works.“Households buy their electricity from

the municipalities. The municipalities buyit from Eskom. If households were to startgenerating their own electricity throughnetmetering and selling off the excess, howwould the municipalities make their mon-ey?” he asks.“Farmers, factories and mines – all big

consumers – buy their electricity directlyfromEskom. They pay a lot less than house-holds, who have to pay additional costs fortheir electricity from the municipality.“Of course municipalities would be

strongly against net metering because any-body can install solar panels. Eskom, forone, would be very glad because then wewould be saving it a lot of energy. But themoney from household consumers is whatkeeps the councils going.”Lipschitz explainsnetmeteringas “apay-

ment system where users of electricity‘make’ their own electricity, and usuallybuy and sell electricity at the same rate”.He says consumers who buy electricity

from Eskom or the City at R1.50/kWh unitbut do not use all the power then resell theexcess to the service provider at the samerate.“The idea is that during the day you

‘bank’ excess electricity generated, and atnight you use electricity from the grid,”Lipschitz says.The City says it hasmany reasons for not

yet installing net metering.These include tariffs and technicalities

regarding individual households, or“small-scale embedded generation” on thepower grid, says Ernest Sonnenberg, theCity’sMayoral Committeemember forUtil-ity Services.“While encouraging the use of small-

scale embedded generation technologies isnoteworthy, this should not be done in away that disadvantages others,” he says.He explains that the City has to charge

a tariff that “recovers their fixedcosts under all circumstances,doesn’t unfairly penalise non-generating consumers, and stillprovides some level of compensa-tion for thosewhomake the capi-tal investment to perform small-scale embedded generation”.Net metering requires the in-

stallation of solar panels that areconnected to the electricity grid.Access to the same grid will be

utilised in the event of a reversepower flow – when energy is de-pleted and needs to be sent to ac-commodate a household’s sup-ply.According to council, there are

no technical standards yetwhichgovern what these connectionsshould look like.“The City is currently in-

volved in a national workgroupthat is developing national tech-nical standards,” Sonnenbergsays.“Unfortunately, until national

standards are fully developedand implemented, and supplierscan provide grid connectionequipment with the relevantmark ‘stamped on it’, the processof obtaining approval to use al-ternatives is complex andlengthy.”The current plan is that as

soon as grid-connected small-scale embedded generation –such as net metering – is allowed, the Citywill charge a tariff which includes a dailyservice charge, a higher energy consump-tion tariff and a lower tariff for when theCity buys excess electricity, Sonnenbergsays.Lipschitz points out that the technology is

popular in Europe and the USA.“I believe the public needs to be made

aware of this information so that we can dosomething about the environment, createjobs and stimulate our economy,” he insists.The Eskom employee adds that in other

provinces people have begun installing Es-

kom electricity boxes instead of using themunicipal ones.“These cost about R1000 to install. Then

the household buys electricity straight fromEskom, without the added charges from themunicipality.”V For more information about net metering, phoneDavid Lipschitz on (021) 551 9935 or (021) 813 9895or visit www.mypowerstation.biz.

Shocking power struggle

SAVING UP: Consumers are forced to rein in their electricityconsumption if they hope to stay financially afloat.

DEVELOPMENTS: RESIDENTS LEFT ‘OUT OF THE LOOP’

Pedestrian safety ‘at risk’CHRISTELLE WIESE

Tokai residents are fuming at what theysay are dangerous conditions for pedes-trians visiting Blue Route Mall.

Tokai and Kirstenhof residents’ and rate-payers’ associations insist they are beingleft out of the loop in the current develop-ment at the centre.The City of Cape Town says the inconven-

ience to pedestrians is sincerely regrettedand new traffic signal timing plans are cur-rently being implemented andwill be opera-tional within the next few weeks.ConcernedTokai residentMikeMcCarthy

says he and his neighbours fear for theirsafety when they have to walk to the shop-ping centre. He adds he has tried to raise theproblem with the City, the councillor, thetraffic department, the mayor’s office andthe ombudsman, but to no avail.“I have not even had the courtesy of a re-

ply from any of them,” says McCarthy.“People with walkers, prams and wheel-

chairs wanting to cross from Lente Street(where McCarthy lives) to the centre haveto cross 13 lanes of traffic with only onegreen man for six seconds on Tokai Road.You can work out how long this takes andhow dangerous it is.”He adds that, apart from residents at the

two retirement villages in Lente Street andparents and pupils fromKirstenhof PrimarySchool, people who arrive at the centre viataxi or bus have a similar problem.He says: “This shows how little the plan-

ning department considered pedestrianswhen planning the road works. As for theblind, they don’t stand a chance.”Penny East, ward councillor for Kirsten-

hof andTokai, says she is aware of the severefrustration of residents regarding this issue.“I have had lots of contact with these resi-

dents and want to assure them their com-plaints are not falling on deaf ears. Unfortu-nately these things take a very long time, butI am absolutely certain the issue will be re-solved shortly. We are doing the best wecan.”Councillor Brett Herron, Mayco member

for Transport, Roads and Stormwater, says:“The upgrade of the intersection of TokaiRoad and Lente Street has taken longer tocomplete than anticipated. The work isscheduled to be completed within the nextfew weeks at which time new traffic signaltiming plans will be in operation.”Herron explains these timing plans will

provide for exclusive signal phases duringwhich all traffic will be kept stationarywhile pedestrians cross the four roadwaysapproaching the intersection at Tokai Roadand Lente Street. “A signalised pedestriancrossing is also presently provided acrossTokai Road to the east of Lente Street,” hesays.“Unfortunately, in any construction proc-

ess there will be obstacles to overcome suchas the lack of a traffic light and pedestriancrossing over the two lanes in Lente Street.This needs to be rectified immediately.”He says audio-tactile devices will also be

installed shortly for blind pedestrians.“These special buttons have to be importedand are expected to arrive in Cape Townsoon.”Tokai Residents’ Association (TRA) chair-

person Mike Scott says: “We have been as-sured the required traffic impact assess-ments have been done and, as soon as build-ing operations are complete and the trafficsignals coordinated, ‘everything will be justfine’,” says Scott. “We have yet to see realevidence of this.”He adds that while all the development in

the area is good for business and job crea-

tion, the TRA is concerned that “in the rushto develop, grow and gain economic benefit,sight is lost of basic planning principles”.He says although the community has an

opportunity to comment on developmentssuch as the one taking place at Blue RouteMall, their comments and recommendationsare not always taken into account.“The TRAwas invited to ameeting at Blue

Route to introduce phase two of the develop-ment. There was a proposal for an entranceinto and exit out of the centre at the LenteStreet intersection.We expressed concern atthis proposal and were informed the Traffic

Impact Study would be re-evaluated.”He says despite communication with cen-

tre management on the progress of the revi-sion, the TRA was later informed the en-trance/exit was approved.He says at the same meeting the TRA also

raised concerns regarding parking at thecentre. “We are still awaiting a proposal re-garding this issue.”Scott says a lot of the redevelopment at the

centre was not open to public participation“because of existing structures, accesspoints and zoning permissions”.“Council is trying to do away with ‘red

tape’ and lessen the public’s input into newdevelopments because the public, by andlarge, is seen as a meddling nuisance.”Blue RouteMall mediamanager Bronwyn

Talken declined to comment on the issuesaying the centre has followed all council re-quirements.

Plumstead heats upA Plumstead local walked away with the

coveted heat ManWatch title.Rudi Witkowsky (23) was hailed the

winner of the magazine’s fifth annual scout-ing competition on Friday 26 July.

This is the first time a Capetonian winsthe competition which calls for “regularguys from all over the country to show offtheir good looks and hot bodies”.

Witkowsky says he decided to enter thecompetition when his agent asked him aboutit.

“Initially I passed on the idea, but then Ithought: ‘What if I make the top 10 or evenwin?’ I realised that just by making the top10, let alone winning, it could provide manyopportunities for me in furthering my mod-elling career and possibly open doors in theentertainment industry. So I went for it!”

But there’s more to Witkowsky than meetsthe eye. The model is also in the process ofcompleting a training contract to qualify asa chartered accountant after obtaining anhonours degree in accounting.

He studied at UCT and plans to travel ex-tensively. “After my articles in 2015, I wouldlike to travel the world and surf the best surfspots for a year. I would also like to becomea well-known international model,” he says.

Winning the heat competition may well be

his first step to fame. The first prize includesR10 000 and a walk-on part in local SABC soa-pie Isidingo.

“I cannot wait to start preparing. I’m veryexcited to meet the cast and getting to knowthem outside of the show. I’ve always had aninterest in acting. My mom is a huge fan ofIsidingo,” he says. “I plan on getting every-one I know to watch it.”

Witkowsky shared the news of his win ina similar way. “I didn’t tell anyone I hadwon. I wanted to wait until the relevant issuewas on sale and then page through it withmy friends and family to see the look on theirfaces.”

When the magazine contacted him withthe news, he was so ecstatic he “drove homefrom work with my windows down, anddanced to the music in my car without car-ing about the traffic or what others mightthink”.

Witkowsky describes himself as someonewith a great sense of humour, easy going andfun-loving. His hobbies include surfing,cooking, playing the guitar and spendingtime with friends.

“I would like to extend a massive thankyou to everyone who voted and supportedme throughout this campaign. I truly appre-ciate it.”

A WINNER: ManWatch winner Rudi Witkowsky won R10 000 and a small part on local SABCsoapie Isidingo. He also features in a photoshoot in the current issue of heat. “It was awe­some. I felt like a real celebrity! Using hair removal under my arms for the shoot was hell andimmensely painful, but totally worth it,” he says. PHOTO: DENZIL JACOBS/HEAT

MILITARY HOSPITAL: SECURITY CONCERNS

‘No guards’ on dutyCHRISTELLE WIESE

More than two months after a hospitalintern had to pacify an armed manat 2 Military Hospital in Wynberg,

hospital staff are still up in arms over a lackof security.

A R600m upgrade at the hospital kickedoff on Tuesday 30 July, but the South Afri-can National Defence Force (SANDF) iskeeping mum on how much of this budgetwill be used to address security concerns atthe hospital andWynberg Military Base onwhich it is located.

The South African National Defence Un-ion (Sandu) is fuming and says a failure bythe SANDF to put safety structures in placesoon, will result in them taking action toprotect their own members. They did notgive details of how this would be done.

Sandu provincial organiser Tim Flacksays: “The base has had no access controlor guards since I joined the SANDF in 2007.There has been a (security) concern forquite some time and I know for a fact it fallson deaf ears and nothing is done about it.”

He adds that despite the South AfricanMilitary Health Service (SAMHS) havingits own protection branch, the lack of a pro-tection force at the base has been evidentfor many years. “This topic has become ajoke to thepublic of SouthAfrica andanem-barrassment to the (SANDF) membersworking hard to try and maintain someform of normality at this institution.”

Flack says the incident in June left staffmembers shaken.

He explains that the husband of a womanwho was treated at the hospital at the time,walked into the casualty ward with a gun.“In the absence of a security guard, a hospi-tal intern had to calm the man down. She

had to call the police and handle the issueon her own (until they got there).”

Flack says staff have since signed a peti-tion for improved security at the hospitaland the base.

He says the plea has been ignored by theSANDF. “The SANDF has no regard for themen andwomen serving and protecting ourbeloved country; it is evident time and timeagain.Management only looks after its owninterests. They forget that soldiers also paytax andhave a say. They forget thatwithoutthe soldiers they command, they have noSANDF.”

He adds that several robberies at homeson the base and theft at the hospital havealso been reported the past few months. “Itis a big problem as anyone can access thebase at any time. A boom gate and entrybooth for vehicles have been built, but it isnot operational and unmanned. It also doesnot cater for pedestrians who can walk inat any time.”

Flack adds, given the apparent lack of aresponse from the SANDF, staff are resent-ful andmorale is extremely low as they feelthey “are pushed aside and ignored”.

Brigadier General Xolani Mabanga fromthe SANDF says they have taken note of se-curity fears: “The SAMHS is aware of it andaddressing it.”

He adds, after the upgrade has been com-pleted in 2017, the hospital will be an assetto SAMHS and staff are “looking forwardto the completionof theproject and the com-missioning of a military health institutionthat continues to provide world class clinicservice”.

The hospital serves 40 000 military per-sonnel, dependants and approved clientsfrom the Western, Eastern and NorthernCape.

Mountain face-offMountain face-offMALHERBE NIENABER

If engineers could put a man on the moon,they would be able to erect a monumentof former president Nelson Mandela on

Table Mountain.This is the reaction of architectMarkTho-

mas, head of Mark Thomas Architects, onthedesignof amonumentwhichhas tongueswagging.The Dutch architect firm WHIM and

Dutch foundationMandela op de Fiets Fundare raising funds tohave the 60mhighmonu-ment designed against the slopes of Devil’sPeak and presented to authorities.Table Mountain National Park (TMNP)

manager Paddy Gordon said the proposalwill not get approval once officially submit-ted, as Table Mountain is a national park

and enjoys world heritage status.He said TMNP management initially

thought the proposal was a joke.The “Mandela on the Mountain” project

was launched last week and the public candonate on the project’s website Indiegogo.Ramon Knoester, head architect of the

project, said on the website the monumentis estimated to be 30m wide and 60m high.It will include facilities such as a restaurant,theatre and look-out points.In response to enquiries, he said it would

take years before the appropriate lightingand final design is approved.Thomas said South Africa has a tradition

of complex structures built, especially in themining industry. With the proper engineersand resources almost any task can be accom-plished, he said.$150 (R1485) of the project’s $100 000

(R990 000) target has been raised.A Facebook page for the project was

opened on Wednesday 17 July, while WHIMlaunched the project on its Facebookpage onThursday 18 July, with the aim of celebrat-ing Mandela’s 95th birthday.Knoester emphasised Table Mountain

would not be demolished to build the monu-ment and the released sketches only indi-cates the initial designs.Aad Bak of the Mandela op de Fiets Fund

said the inspiration for themonument cameduring a visit to Cape Town four years ago.The monument is intended to be similar tothose sculptures of the American presidentsat Mount Rushmore in the US.The monument will be placed at the foot

of the mountain and close to District Six, sothat the area’s history will also be remem-bered. “The entire plan is a boost for job cre-ation and the tourism industry,” Bak said.V What are your thoughts on the proposed monu-ment? Starting with the word “Post” SMS yourthoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

PROPOSED: The suggested sketch of the monu­ment a Dutch architectural firm and foundationwant to design and build along the slopes of Dev­il’s Peak. The suggested monument of formerpresident Nelson Mandela has had the tongueswagging. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

PAMELA OORconsiders theproposal a“great idea” andfitting to paytribute toMadiba’s legacy.“He did so muchfor our country.He changed somuch for us! It’snot like we willever forget him,but this is an ex­cellent way tohonour him.”

WILLEMEENNORTJE de­scribes the con­troversial pro­posal as ridicu­lous, sayingpeople shouldlet him be.“Mandela hasdone his bit forour country.Leave the poorman in peace. Hehas been hon­oured in manyother ways.”

VUYO DIKE givesthe proposedmove his sup­port with twothumbs up.“Madiba is an in­ternational he­ro! This way hewill leave a lega­cy to the West­ern Cape, butonly if access tothe statue is freefor everyone –young and old.”

FAADIEL ROMANsays the nationneeds to recog­nise whatMadiba has donefor South Africa.He agrees withthe proposedsuggestion“There’s nothingwrong with add­ing his face to Ta­ble Mountain aslong as the natu­ral habitat ismaintained.”

JEANDRE TER­BLANCHE saysthis idea wouldcommemorateNelson Mandela’slegacy. “I don’tmind seeingformer presidentMandela’s face onthe mountain,but the artistsneed to ensurethat it fits in withthe rest of the flo­ra of the moun­tain.”

LONELA COTYIsays she’s in fa­vour of seeingNelson Mandela’sface on TableMountain. “Peo­ple won’t have togo to Robben Is­land to see rem­nants of theformer president,but will insteadbe met by his faceupon their entryinto the city.”

EDUCATION: GETS A BOOST

New hope forBonnytoun’schildrenCHRISTELLE WIESE

When American exchange studentFrancis Way (17) set off for the sun-ny shores of SouthAfrica, she never

thought heavy rain and a leaky roof wouldget in her way.She didn’t let that stop her in her tracks.

She simply raised the necessary funds andfixed the roof of Seeds of Hope playschoolin Bonnytoun, where she is a volunteer.She also raised extra funds and oversaw

additional building for volunteers to run asoup kitchen from the school.The playschool had to close their doors

for five weeks due to a severely damagedroof and flood damage. This left 12 children,between the ages of two and six, from thesurrounding community without a safeplace to go while their parents were atwork.Way, who came to SA recently to visit

family and volunteer at local schools, in-volved the Children’s Studio in HarfieldVillage. Together, they assisted Seeds of

Hope in cleaning up, fixing and improvingtheir container school.Megan Kieffer, from Children’s Studio,

says they have since been working closelywith Seeds ofHope to support themasmuchas they can. “Seeds of Hope does not receiveany State funding and parents who can af-ford it are asked to pay R50 a month, butthis obviously isn’t nearly enough.”The school is run by Chantel Cedras and,

when funds are available, she provides dai-lymeals for the childrenwhoattend.Kieffersays: “Often this is the only balanced mealthese children receive for the day.”Staff from Children’s Studio now also op-

erate a monthly soup kitchen at the school.“The soup kitchen will be run on the firstWednesday of every month and we alwaysneed donations and volunteers. Good cooksare also always welcome,” says Kieffer.She adds that donations do not have to be

cash, but can be non-perishable goods andschool supplies.V For more information or to get involved, phoneMegan Kieffer on (021) 683 1437 or 084 853 0443.

Bergvliet’s own moto-cross champion recentlyproved his class at inter-national level when hefinished ahead of some ofthe world’s best at theYouth Motocross Interna-tional in Commercy,France.

Justin “The Sandman”Sangster beat UK champi-on Ike Carter, Dutchnumber two Mack Bou-wenstein and the USA’sMarc Gonzalez to finishseventh out of 80 riders inthe under-12 65cc catego-ry gold final on Sunday 14July.

The 10-year-old says hewas happy to with hisplacing after struggling inthe same race last year.

“Last year in France Icrashed at the start of thegold final and went downto 40th, but I still managedto pass five people (toeventually) finish 35th,”Sangster says.

“I was really happy (toplace) seventh this year,but starting with 40 guysin the line is difficult; inSouth Africa you only get15. When all 40 guys go in-to the corner you justhave to hold your line andtry not to get bumped. Ifone person falls in front,you get held up.”

Sangster has shownbags of talent since takingup the sport at the age ofseven. He has won five re-gional titles since ridinghis first race.

Last year Sangster also won the 50cc ProSenior Championship and he currentlyleads the regional 85cc class by two points.

The Sweet Valley Primary pupil says heloves the sport because he enjoys being ableto control the power of the motorbike and itallows him to spend time with his friends.

His father, Mark, says Justin has shownan immense amount of dedication since tak-ing up the sport.

“He works with a junior fitness specialistat the Sport Science Institute twice a weekand they go through some specific trainingfor motocross; (specially designed) for him.It works on his core, arms and legs becausehe needs to grip the bike,” Mark says.

Salt River Blackpool struggled into the last16 of the Coca-Cola Cup with a one goal victo-ry over Bellville City in Grassy Park on Sun-day.

Blackpool had qualified for the last 32 witha 4-2 victory over Willow Stars from theNyanga Local Football Association, butcouldn’t recapture their goal scoring form inthis round.

Salt River wasted the first of a glut of gilt-edged goal-scoring opportunities in the 13thminute, when Moosa Stellenboom wasplayed through on goal but shot directly atBellville City goalkeeper, Kelly Ruthenberg.

Blackpool grew gradually more dominantas the game wore on and were in completecontrol by the 20 minute mark, but poor fin-ishing and bad decision-making in the finalthird stopped them from taking the lead.

Charlton April was next to squander anopportunity when a deft back-heel fromVirgel Ganger found him in a pocket of spacein the box and he waited too long beforethumping a shot into a defender on the goal-line.

Salt River, just as dominant in the secondstanza, finally found their goal-scoringtouch in the third minute when Stellenboomtook one of the more difficult chances of thegame with ease.

After bringing down a long, diagonal ballon the right side of the box, Stellenboom an-gled a shot beyond Ruthenberg and just in-side the far post.

Blackpool slowed the game down to acrawl after taking the lead, cutting out thedirect play which lead to Stellenboom’sopener and keeping possession for long peri-ods.

Bellville City struggled to regain posses-sion or string together passes when they hadthe ball, but they almost stole an equaliserin the 25th minute when Marco Russell in-tercepted an under-hit back pass, shootingdirectly at Blackpool keeper Yazeed Freder-icks. Blackpool left several chances on thepitch, but improved composure in front ofgoal could see them go all the way to the fi-nal.

The next round of the tournament will beplayed on Sunday 18 August. The venue andfixtures are yet to be released.
