ST JAMES: SIGNAL MASTS PROPOSED TO SMOOTH MANAGING TRAINS AND SERVICE

Prasa rail plan on trackMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

There are just eight more daysfor residents to have their sayon a new project by the Pas-

senger Rail Agency of SouthAfrica(Prasa).Plans to improve the manage-

ment of trainshas seenPrasa applyto the national Department of En-vironmental Affairs to erect sig-nalling masts in rail servitudes at21 stations across Cape Town.According to the background

document by environmental con-sultants Enviroworks the mastsare aimed at managing trains andtraffic on railway lines.In the Far South there are two

planned masts. Situated at StJames and Clovelly train stations,the masts are set to be 15m high.This is half the size of the 19 re-maining masts which are set to be30m high.In addition, antennas will be at-

tached to these masts.According to the report there

will be additional infrastructurewhich will be housed by contain-ers.“Electricity supply and access

roads to the different sites alreadyexist. The structure will cover a to-tal area of about 80m² and will beenclosed by a palisade fence witha height of 2.4m,” it says.For these proposed masts an en-

vironmental basic assessmentprocess is required under the Na-tional Environmental Manage-ment Act (Nema).“Themain objective of a basic as-

sessment is to ascertain the im-pacts of aproposeddevelopment onthe affected environment and to es-tablish if identified impacts can beeffectively mitigated or reduced,”the report says.Residents are now required to

register as an interested and affect-ed party to be kept up to date withthe project information.Under Nema, Prasa has also ap-

plied for an exemption from pub-

lishing notices, the final decisionand appeal details in newspapers.Tony Trimmel, chairperson of

the Kalk Bay/ St James Residents’and Ratepayers’ Association (KB-SJRRA), says they have receivedthe report and will be registeringwith Enviroworks.He says as there is not any addi-

tional information available, resi-dents areunclear about the impact.

“Also when people hear maststhey automatically associate itwith cellphone masts but these arefor trains so the impact it will haveis unclear at this stage,” he says.The association will be meeting

this week to discuss the report andgather comments from residents.“If the residents areunhappy,we

will have to raise their objectionswith Prasa but without any addi-

tional information, it is hard totell,” he explains.South Peninsula Subcouncil

chairperson Felicity Purchasesays while little is known aboutPrasa’s plans, she says they wereinformed of a need to upgrade thesignalling systems.Asked about the height restric-

tion in the Far South, she says: “Isuspect the 15m restriction may be

related to the close proximity of therailway to the sea.”Prasa andMetrorailwereunable

to answer additional questionsabout themasts at the time of goingto print.V What are your thoughts on the signallingmasts? Starting with the word “Post”, SMSyour thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.V For more information on this project visitwww.enviroworks.co.za.

NOORDHOEK: PLANS FOR CALMING MEASURES

Red lightfor traffictraumaMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A new plan to tackle taxi and trafficwoes in Noordhoek is on the cards.

Following ongoing concerns aboutspeeding, illegal stopping, the lack of aspeed camera on Noordhoek Main Road aswell as signage problems and the presenceof unroadworthy trucks, City of Cape Townofficials arenow in talks overproposed traf-fic calming measures.

South Peninsula Subcouncil chairpersonFelicity Purchase explains the problem hasworsened over the past year.

She says as the area is home to manyhorse riders, a plan is being devised as theanimals are startled by speeding vehicles.

“Currently, the problem with the taxis isthe random stopping along NoordhoekMain Road endangering other motorists,”Purchase says.

The intersection of Noordhoek MainRoad and Katzenellenbogen Street is synon-ymous with this. On Thursday 10 July, sev-eral taxis could be seen stopping at this in-tersection to pick up passengers.

Purchase says to solve this problem theyare considering the implementation of em-bayments to ensure taxis can pull over safe-

ly. “They will not be allowed to rank. Thetaxis must move forward and away fromthe crossing. They were notified aboutthis,” she adds.

Purchase explains several proposalshave been made which include a four-waystop at Katzenellenbogen Street and atAvondrust Circle.

There are also proposals for the roadverge to be cleared and enough space to bemade available for horse riders to ride safe-ly.

Purchase warns speedsters along Noord-hoek Main Road should start slowing downas various traffic operations are in place.This is in addition to a proposal to have thespeed limit reduced to 60km/h.

This was evident on 10 July when a trafficofficer could be seen operating a speed trapon Noordhoek Main Road.

In a recent traffic report, 100 motoristswere fined for exceeding the current speedlimit. “The aim of these proposals is tomake the roads safer for the Noordhoekcommunity but we need the help of the com-munity. It’s not only the taxis who arespeeding,” she says.V What are your thoughts on these proposals? Start-ing with the word “Post”, SMS your experience to32516. SMSes cost R1.

MUIZENBERG: YOUNG SURFERS GET NEW BOARDS

Waves of changefor at risk youthMuizenberg buzzed with excitement

last week as young surfers gatheredat the Surf Shack.

It was a day of celebration as the ShareThe Stoke Foundation South Africa (STSF-SA) donated 14 new boards to deservingyoung, disadvantaged children.

In a statement STSFSA founder RoryHeard said the intention of the foundationis to provide social support andmentorshipto childrenwhoare exposed to difficult situ-ations daily.

He believes having a positive activity,like surfing, to take part in can change thedirection of many lives.

“Seeing the tangible difference that learn-ing to surf makes to the attitude, quality oflife and lifestyle choices of children, whoselives have otherwise given them very littlereason to believe in themselves or feel posi-

tive about the future, is what drives us andwhy we believe this is so important,” hesaid.

The surfboards were given to childrenwho had worked hard to learn to surf.

The foundation also helps with variousskills development programmes wherethey teach children and young adults to re-pair used surfboards, from identifying thedamage to the finished board. At the heartof their work is a recycled board pro-gramme where surfers donate their oldboards and they are repaired and donatedto other partners including Waves ForChange, 9Miles Project, Surf Shack Out-reach Programme and the Western Prov-ince Development Surfing programme.

With the help of FireWire and FCS Inter-national the foundation also equips youngsurfers with new boards.

STOKED: Lizay Steyn, Marcheleno Anthony and Nigel Sarel from the 9Miles project wereamong the recipients.

SILVERGLADES: SYNDICATE SUSPECTED

Fuel thievesMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Petrol thievesare on theprowl in Silver-

glades and police areinvestigating thepossibility of a syn-dicate operating inthe area.Targeting vehicles

where thepetrol pipeis easily accessible,thieves cut the pipeand drain the petrolleaving a mess forresidents to clean.One resident, who has had her pipes cut

four times betweenApril and July, says sheis fed-up with repair costs.The woman says in April she went to the

petrol station to fill her tank and wasshocked when the attendant showed herpetrol was leaking from her vehicle.“It was gushing and running straight out

of the pipe. It appeared to have been cut,”she explains.Later that month, a relative was prepar-

ing to leave home when he smelt petrol.On inspection thewoman found her vehi-

cles petrol pipe had once again been cut andreported the incident to Fish Hoek police.Earlier thismonth, the woman again not-

ed a hole had beenmade in the pipe and thepetrol drained.And on Sunday 6 July, the woman found

the pipe of her vehiclewas damaged and thepetrol drained.“It is very strange and at some point I

started to believe I was being targeted,” shesays.After forking out more than R2000 to re-

pair her vehicle and replace the stolen pet-rol, the Silverglades resident says she has

given up.“Throwing petrol

in my car has be-come such an ex-pense as people keepstealing it. I have al-so opted to walk myson to school toavoid usingmy car,”she explains.Fish Hoek police

spokesperson War-rant Officer ChrisCloete says whilepetrol theft is notnew in Fish Hoekthere have been sev-eral reports of simi-

lar incidents in Silverglades.He explains police are investigatingwhat

appears to be a syndicate operating in thearea.Earlier in the year there were similar re-

ports in Fish Hoek and arrests were madewith the help of neighbourhood watches.“In the past three weeks, police have re-

ceived new reports of petrol theft mostly af-fecting Silverglades,” he says.Cloete says thematter is under investiga-

tion and no arrests have been made for therecent thefts.“They damage the vehicles significantly

and seem to be targeting vehicles where thepetrol pipes or tanks are easily accessible,”he says.He has called on residents to be aware of

people walking through the area at nightand to phone the station immediately whenthey are spotted.V Have you been a victim of petrol theft?

PEOPLE'S POST | FALSE BAYThursday, 17 July 2014 LETTERS 7

No need for one-way streetsThe memorandum on this matter beingcirculated by Transport for Cape TownNetwork Management concerning theproposal emanating from Sun Valley Pri-mary School to have various streets sur-rounding the school designated as one-way (“Proposal for one-way streets”, Peo-ple’s Post, 3 July) refers.

This memorandum promotes the view-point of the school and displays very littleregard for the interests of the residentsof Sun Valley.

It does not point out, for instance, thatby making Coracle Street, part of Brigan-tine Avenue and part of Corvette Avenue,into a one-way, you are also effectivelymaking Caravel Street, Boeier andBarque crescents, and the rest of Brigan-tine Avenue (for return trips) one-way aswell, given that access to Corsair Way isthe main requirement for most residents.

Neither does it point out that there isalready an agreement in place in theneighbourhood concerning the routing oftraffic on the relevant roads for the drop-off and pick-up times of children at the

school. The school has circularised resi-dents and posted its own signs for severalyears, and most of the residents comply.

As there is only a “need” for such arouting for around an hour in the morn-ing (around 08:00) and about the sametime in the early afternoon (around14:00), only on school days and only interm-time, to make the relevant roadspermanently one-way is therefore an un-necessary inconvenience to residentswho live and travel here every day, at alltimes, all year.

With one week to go until the close ofthe process, I have met several residentson the affected streets who have still toreceive the relevant memorandum.

The school does have a concern, but Ibelieve existing arrangements, coupledwith somecontrol, patienceandcommon-sense by their pupils’ parents (many ofwhom are not Sun Valley residents)would represent a better solution than arestructuring of half of Sun Valley.MALCOLM ESTERHUIZEN,Sun Valley

Thanks for returning walletChris van Coller and Fish Hoek police havetotally restored my faith in humanity.

I had lost my wallet, complete with driverslicense, debit and credit cards, various othercards and photos of my grandchildren, to-gether with over R500 in cash.

Van Coller found the wallet outside theAvenue Retirement Hotel in Fish Hoek, sawmy details inside, phoned me and then hand-ed it in at the Fish Hoek Police Station.

When I picked up my wallet later that day

at the police station it was given to me intact– nothing missing, not even a rand.

This has again proved that the averageSouth African and police are public spiritedand honest people.

My sincere thanks and appreciation go toVan Coller and Fish Hoek police.

Visitors’ perfect aim at darts tourneyLIAM MOSES@LiamCPT

Home advantage did little to help local play-ers at the annual SouthAfricanDarts Cham-pionships last week, as both the men’s andwomen’s singles titles went to players fromother provinces.The tournament was held at the Good

Hope Centre fromMonday 7 to Friday 11 Ju-ly, with senior and junior players from allnine provinces aiming for the bull’s eye.In the end, the men’s singles title went to

Limpopo’s Roelof Burger, while Gauteng’sVossie Oosthuizen won the women’s title.“This ismy greatest achievement. It’s eve-

ry young darts player’s dream to accomplishwhat I just have,” Burger said.“I will only realise (the magnitude of my

achievement) when the shock has passed.”

The 31-year-old described darts as a “fami-ly sport” which he has been playing sincethe age of 12.He further emphasised that darts is a

sport, not just a pub game.“Darts is hard work; you need determina-

tion to play it,” Burger said.“It’s a mental game which requires focus

and concentration from the first dart youthrow to the last. There is never a dull a mo-ment. The tournament was serious from thefirst day – from the very first game.”Oosthuizen has also been dabbling in the

sport since childhood.The singles title is her second major

achievement in two years, after being thetop performing women’s player and making

the Proteas team last year.She said her competitive edge, vast con-

centration span and skills come from neverwanting to lose to her brother when theyplayed as children.“If you are a natural, then darts is easy.

But if aren’t it is a very difficult sport,” shesaid.“Theremust be something inside you that

makes you love the sport. You can immedi-ately see whether someone has the ability toplay and wants to learn. It takes a lot of con-centration to throw the dart in the exactplace you want.”Yolande and Chantelle van Rooyen, from

Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs Darts Asso-ciation, took home the women’s pairs title,

while Algoa Bay Darts Association’s LionelBeukes and Tinus Deyzel won the men’spairs category.The women’s inter-regional title was won

by Western Province, while Gauteng wonthe men’s inter-regional title.In the youth championships, Western

Province’s Tayla Carolissen won the girl’stitle and Eastern Cape player Dameon Stef-fens won the boy’s division.The mixed pair’s title also went to the

Eastern Cape, with Steffens and TamrynBlignaut finishing on top.Elizma Oosthuizen and Cassandra Bezui-

denhout won the girl’s pairs for North WestProvince, while Dean Petersen and Alexan-der Faddel ensured the boy’s pairs trophywill remain in WP’s trophy cabinet.Province was also crowned the overall

winner of the youth championships.
