ON THURSDAY South Africans cele-brate Human Right’s Day. Is it just an-other day off work or do Capetonians
give special attention to their hard-foughthuman rights? People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini polledreaders.
WENTZEL DANIEL: He feels the right toeducation is important, especially for the newgeneration. “In my days we didn’t have theopportunities the children today have and Idon’t want my children to struggle.”
PHOTOS: TARREN-LEE HABELGAARN AND LUZUKO ZINI
ODENDAAL GERBER: He is most passionateabout the right to access to water. “Peopleshould use water sparingly. There are so manypeople who don’t have access to drinkingwater. Yet you get others who can afford itand then waste it.”
TOBIE STEENKAMP: The right to life is themost important right, he says. “I feel if youtake away someone’s right to live, your lifeshould be taken away. In our country thatright is absolute, not even the State can takeaway your right to life.”
LEE-ANN PEDRO: She says freedom of speechshould be supreme and feels it is what ourcountry needs to move forward. “It is impor-tant and will help our country if people couldexpress what they want, when they want andhow they want.”
TERRI-LEE JENSSEN: She believes it isimportant for people to express themselves.“Freedom of speech is the most importanthuman right because people should be able tosay what is on their minds.”
CHARLES MERRINGTON: “The right to freedomof movement is important. This is not (likein) the old days when you needed permissionto enter certain places. We don’t want to goback to those days, so that right shouldn’t betaken away.”
LAWRENCE LUBBE: “I think the right toeducation is the most important becausewhen a person is educated, they have achance to land a decent job. Should that rightbe taken away a lot of people would behopeless – education is everything.”

SKIPPER COLLAPSED: ROUGH SEAS
Two savedin sea rescueTERESA FISCHER
THE National Rescue Institute (NSRI)saved the lives of two men aboard ayacht in a daring rescue between Ro-
man Rock, Simon’s Town and Muizenberg.The skipper had collapsed and was un-
conscious and the single crewman wasfighting to keep the yacht offshore in a 50-knot gusting south easterly onshore windon Wednesday 13 March.
NRSI Simon’s Town Station CommanderDarren Zimmerman says the duty crew re-ceived an urgent request for assistance at05:10.
Zimmerman says: “Reportedly the yacht(Kyena II) had (almost) reached RomanRock Lighthouse, Simon’s Town, at 01:00this morning, but the two crew onboard –skipper Geoff de la Rue (67) and crewmanJohn Bowhill (60) – both from the UK butnow living in Johannesburg – were strug-gling in the very strong winds and roughseas, and had decided to turn around andtry to head for Gordon’s Bay.”
He says at 05:00 the crewman raised thealarm, reporting that the skipper had col-lapsed and he was struggling alone in theheavy seas.
Zimmerman says this was the same yachtthat was towed 30 nautical miles to port bythe East London NSRI on Friday 15 Febru-ary suffering motor problems, and again onFriday 22 February when NSRI Port Alfredwent to their assistance off Bird Island ina 14-hour rescue operation when they hadsustained water in the fuel system and theskipper had experienced ill health.
Zimmerman says NSRI Simon’s Townvolunteer sea rescue duty crew launchedtheir sea rescue crafts.
The coordinates the yacht provided putthem in the surf line at Sunrise Beach.
Various ambulance and rescue serviceswere also on standby.
Zimmerman says they found the yachtwallowing in the surf line, just 10m from thebeach, almost aground. He says their deep-sea rescue craft Spirit of Safmarine III wentinto the surf line and reversed – keepingthe bow towards the incoming waves – to-wards the yacht.
He says: “A towline was passed to theyacht’s crewman, but it appears hisstrength was sapped and he struggled toconnect the towline. Only after a tense fewminutes, with less than 1.5m of water underour hull, a gusting 50-knot onshore windand confused, rough, sea swells and break-ing surf over the bow of our sea rescue craftand over the yacht, the Kyena II crewmanfinally managed to hook our towline to theyacht’s mast.”
“In trying conditions we gently pulled theyacht out to sea through the breakers tak-ing a good half an hour and taking a pound-ing from the waves which were breakingover our bow. But we finally got the casual-ty yacht out beyond the breakers and fur-ther out to sea,” says Zimmerman.
Once at sea, an NRSI medic and NSRIcrewman were transferred onboard theyacht.
Zimmerman says the towline was se-cured properly and medical treatment be-gan on De la Rue, who was found to be suf-fering exhaustion, chest pains and severehypothermia.
The yacht was found to be heavily ladenwith water.
They towed the yacht to the Naval Dock-yard in Simon’s Town and, once berthed,Cape Medical Response provided advancedlife support medical treatment to De la Rue,who was taken to hospital in a serious con-dition. Bowhill was also assisted to regainhis strength.
“Only once both men were warmed up,with De la Rue recovering well in hospital,we were able to make sense of their story,It transpired that the skipper had actuallyfallen overboard early the morning and hehad been rescued by his crewman Bowhill– this explains the dire peril they had foundthemselves in.”
The men had been sailing from Richard’sBay to Simon’s Town to sell the yacht.

PMB: NOW ARTIFICIAL REEF
Protectionfor war shipTERESA FISCHER
A VESSEL that led the Allied arma-da to the beaches of Normandy onD-Day in June 1944will now be offi-
cially protected.The wreck of the SAS Pietermaritz-
burg, affectionately known as the PMBby divers and the SANavy, rests one kil-ometre offshore of Miller’s Point.About 70m long, the ship was sunk in
1994.It has become a popular recreational
diving site, as well as a training locationfor new divers.Berri Samuels, the spokesperson for
the South African Heritage ResourcesAgency (Sahra), says the colourful pastof the Algerine class minesweeper start-ed with her being named the HMSPelorus.During her career with the SA Navy
shewasused as avessel to trainmidship-men and later as a dormitory at Simon’sTown Naval Base until 1991.Samuels says she served in times of
both peace andwar, and at the end of herlong and distinguished career on 19 No-vember 1994 the ship was scuttled offMiller’s Point in a ceremonial fashion bythe navy.She says this was to preserve it as an
artificial reef site for marine life and adive site where people could visit thisunique vessel and remember the signifi-
cant role it played in history.Recently, however, the site has come
under threat andhas beennominated forNational Heritage Status by the Simon’sTown Historical Society, says Samuels.She explains: “These threats came in
the formof salvaging activities that haveremoved large chunks of the wreckwhich has caused instability in the over-all structure of the vessel and partiallydestroyed a once beautiful resource.”The Sahra Maritime and Underwater
Cultural Heritage Unit received numer-ous reports from recreational divers re-lated to the poor condition of the wreck.A public meeting was held on Monday
30 July and a petition hosted on theSouth African Naval Fraternity websiteto push for protection of the heritage re-source.She says: “Wreck sites are non-renew-
able resources and, once they have beendestroyed, all that remains of them arememories.”Provisional Protection of the wreck
and the immediate surrounding withina 300m radius of the vessel has, there-fore, been Gazetted by Government onFriday 1 February, officiated by the Sah-ra Much Unit.Samuels says this is in line with Sah-
ra’s vision to provide for the identifica-tion, conservation and promotion of ourheritage resources for present and fu-ture generations.

POOR HEALTH: FORCED TO RAID
Quizzy is euthanisedTERESA FISCHER
ALARGEmale baboon from theDa Gama troop died after be-ing “stoned” and allegedly
“set upon with pangas” in OceanView on Thursday afternoon.But authorities say there is no
eyewitness evidence to suggest pan-gas were involved.A baboon activist, who asked not
to be named, says she was “totallydevastated” after her “beautiful oldboy Quizzy” was killed in what shesays was “by all accounts horren-dous”. The Baboon Technical Team(BTT), comprised of theCity of CapeTown, SANParks and CapeNature,confirmed a severely injured malebaboon (DG8), with a history of soli-tary raiding behaviour, was eutha-nised on Thursday.Ocean View residents alerted the
police, The Emma Animal RescueSociety (Tears) and the Baboon Hot-line that an altercation between res-idents, dogs and a baboon was tak-ing place.In a multi-organisation opera-
tion, five staff members from Tears,units from the police, threemanage-ment staff from HumanWildlife So-lutions and senior officials from theCape of GoodHope SPCAworked to-gether to cordon off the area and lo-cate the cornered, injured baboon.The baboon was darted by Brett
Glasby of the SPCA and taken to alocal vet for a thorough examina-tion. The vets confirmed he was un-derweight and his teeth were inpoor condition. Authorities say ababoon in this condition would
struggle to forage on the naturalvegetation and his survival woulddepend on raids into urban areas.The BTT says: “Taking into ac-
count the baboon’s severe injuries,age and poor general condition, adecision was taken to euthanise theanimal.”The BTT says no residents were
prepared to make statements forfear of retribution.Glasby says: “We extend an invi-
tation to any witnesses to this inci-dent (and residents who) may havehad a change of heart, to come for-ward and make a formal statement
so that the welfare authorities canopen a docket and test any allega-tions of wrong-doing by residentsunder animal anti-cruelty legisla-tion.”They say City bylaws stipulate
dogs have to be confined to theirplace of residence. If anybody canprovide the City with full details ofany residents who own dogs, whichare not confined to their residences,the City can take action.Another adult male baboon, DG1
(Quondi), was recently attacked bydogs inOceanView (“Baboon bittenby dogs, People’s Post, 5 March).

SUGAR WITH MINE: Peter Dugmore of Muizenberg says in January each year, when the proteas stop flowering, the birds migrate from the mountain slopes into the suburbs in search offood. He adds, none in greater numbers than the orange-breasted sunbirds. “These gem-like little birds seem totally to lose their fear of humans and visit nectar feeders hung out forthem in suburban gardens in a continuing stream throughout the day. Other birds – double-collared and malachite sunbirds, sugarbirds, weavers, bulbuls and the ubiquitous Cape whiteeye – join them at the banqueting table.” Dugmore, his wife Margaret and a couple of close friends, Trevor Snyders and Marion Wagner, designed this sugar feeder, which will soon bemarketed internationally.

Zoning to reshape cityTASMIN CUPIDO
THE Greater Cape Town Civic Alliance(GCTCA) has raised concerns aboutthe City of Cape Town’s new zoning
scheme.The organisation, which is the umbrella
body for civic associations across the CapePeninsula, raised these concerns in a pressrelease, issued jointly with the Far SouthPeninsula Civic Forum.The Integrated Zone Scheme for Cape
Town (CTZS) was launched on Friday 1March, replacing the 27 former zoningschemes with a single zoning scheme.The process for the promulgation of the
scheme was divided into five phases, from2002 until November last year. It was adopt-ed at a Full Council meeting in December.“The new CTZS, however, does provide
for mechanisms, such as the Overlay Zoneto effectively respond to the protection andconservation of unique and specific areaswithin the City,” says Cheryl Walters, theCity’s Director for Planning and BuildingDevelopment Management.“The purpose of the CTZS has not
changed and still provides for the determi-nation of use rights and to provide for con-trols over such use rights. This is a Consti-tutional obligation of local government, aspart of municipal planning.“This project did also result in the repeal
of some of the last remains of apartheidplanning, such as those zoning schemespromulgated in terms of the former BlackCommunities Development Act.”Walters describes the scheme as “mod-
ernised”, as it provides for new land use ac-tivities such as cellular infrastructure andgreen technologies.“It is also, in general, more permissive,
encourages mixed uses where appropriate
and equal opportunities.”The scheme was subject to various meet-
ings and public participation processesduring the planning stages. “Variousmediareleases, placement of notices, advertise-ments in the community press and informa-tion sessions happened in this period to in-form, warn and prepare industry stake-holders and the public of theimplementation date of the CTZS,” Walterssays.However, the concerned organisation
flagged various aspects of the scheme, in-cluding the possibility of a “radical changein the character of the city and undermin-ing its sustainability” in the press release.The press release reads: “No minimum
erf size has been set. This paves the way forcramped urbanisation, not just wise densi-fication. It could also herald a field day fordevelopers focused on maximising rentalincome and speculative subdivision.”It also highlighted the removal of service
industrial zoning, which has now been re-placed by light industrial zoning, mixed-use zones where there are few restrictionson a range of activities and amenity zoningbeing replaced with community zoning assome of the organisation’s concerns.The City has to advertise departures if,
in the opinion of City Manager Achmat Eb-rahim, it will adversely affect anyone,while cellphone masts are allowed any-where. But City officials met with repre-sentatives of the two organisations onThursday 7March. “It was a very construc-tive meeting where a number of concernswhere clarified, misconceptions addressedand future engagements discussed,” Wal-ters says.V View the new zoning scheme on www.cape-town.gov.za.

New Sassa system safer planCONFUSIONaboutwhere State pensionerscan collect their monthly payout has sur-faced.This comes after the SA Social Security
Agency (Sassa) adopted and introduced thebiometric- based system for all social grantsin February.The systemaims to ensure the right grant
is paid to the right individual at the righttime and place. It’s immediate plan is toeradicate fraud and corruption.Itwill also allowbeneficiaries to use their
Sassa branded card anywhere in the coun-try.But People’s Post fielded calls from read-
ers who claim the new system was “timeconsuming” and “dangerous”.One such reader, Beatrice de Wett (78)
from Diep River, tells of her experience ata supermarket. “I was not there to drawmymonthly pension – I will only have to do soin April, but I was horrified and shockedwhen I sawwhat was happening,” she says.“The place was very crowded. I thought
the people were rioting, but soon realisedthey were there to draw their pensions.”She describes the atmosphere as “abso-
lute chaos”, as pensioners queued in longlines inside and outside the store.“They all had to stand; there was no place
for them to sit. Some of the people werestanding with walking sticks, visibly un-comfortable,” De Wett says, adding somewere waiting for “up to four hours. Andthere are no ablution facilities for them touse”.DeWett claims she was informed that the
“chaos” was the same the previous day,with three of the pensioners having beentransported to hospital for medical treat-ment after they had fainted while waitingin line. “The staff at the supermarket alsotold the people they had to return the nextday, because there was no more money,”she says. “I cannot understand why Sassachanged the process of drawing your pen-sion. Why must we go to supermarket? Itis heartbreaking and sad to see the pension-ers suffer this way.”Regional Sassa spokesperson Shivani
Wahab says supermarkets Pick n Pay andShoprite are not the only places pensionerscan draw their monthly grants. “The bene-ficiary has the option of accessing their so-cial grant at a Sassa pay point, vendor orbank of their choice. With approved ven-
dors, Shoprite and Pick n Pay, there is nofee applicable for a beneficiary to accesstheir social grant,” Wahab says, addingcharges will apply to bank withdrawals.Thenewsystemrequires all beneficiaries
to re-register and the process is expected tobe complete on Sunday 31 March.V Verify the status of your re-registration by visitingany registration site or local Sassa office. For moreinformation phone (021) 469 0206 or 0800 601 011.

HUMAN Rights Day. That’s a tough one.The problem with human rights is that every-
body has them.And though it might grate your last nerve that
those who do not so eloquently fit in to our ver-sion of reality have them, too, it’s something wehave to accept.Convicted criminals are our favourite target.
We delight in indulging the fantasy of denyingthem rights.One could argue it is our right to fantasise
about this.But therein lies the rub.The fact that they have been convicted of hei-
nous crimes does not equal them losing their hu-manity.In fact, it’s because of their humanity that
they’re in such a life-altering situation.Being human does not equal being wishy-
washy.Being human means being fraught with flaws.And that’s the primary pulse behind the bas-
tion of rights we so cherish.It is to protect ourselves from ourselves.Think about it. It does make sense.It is to prevent “enlightenedMan” fromhaving
an almighty collective relapse to the Middle Ag-es.Sadly, there are many who ignore our right to
dignity, safety... the list is long.The world is truly in a sad state of affairs.Wars, famine, corruption, civic brutality in Af-
rica and other poor nations... that list is endless.But never has there been a time more urgent
than now – human rightsmust stop being viewedas a luxury and be part of our daily vocabulary.It must be part of our daily patterns. To think
of human rights – for all and not just the moralelite! – needs to be habitual.Human rights... tough one.
Need a little help with recyclingWE LIVE in a block of flats in Muizenberg.Some time last year, we contacted Waste-Mart to have our recycling collected.A kind gentleman by the name of Nicholas
came and dropped off a whole lot of Waste-Mart bags. For a few weeks, the collectionwas done, and then we kept having to phoneto remind them our recycling was on thepavement.We were finding the bags were being bro-
ken open and people were taking the tinneditems from the bags. Eventually, after fol-lowing up,wewere toldWaste-Mart does notdo collection in Muizenberg. This meant wehad to find an alternate solution.Since then, we started taking our recy-
cling to the Lakeside Woolworths. Wedropped off a few bagswe have built up, onlyto be told they would not be doing the recy-cling there anymore as it looks very untidy.What does one do to recycle? I am strongly
in favour of saving the planet by recycling,but when the avenues explored are shutdown, it makes it very difficult to continuedoing this. Do we need to sign a petition?Please advise me on the way forward.Yours for recycling.

All I want to do is driveIAMcurrently learning to drive andamcon-stantly facedwith challenges. I hopePeople’sPost readers can help me.I have an amazing driving instructor,
Mike Boyle, who has lots of patience, teach-ing me and many others to drive. The prob-lem we face is, everywhere he takes me toteach me parking, we are chased away – ei-ther by security at the malls or caretakers.Please could someone shed some light on
where we are allowed to go? The Sun Valley(Mall) parking area is filled with learnersand their instructors each time we go there.All I want to do is learn to drive, and at
34 years old it’s not that easy. I would loveto be able to take my children to school andmy mother and 89-year-old grandmother tothe shops or doctor appointments. This is sounfair, as all I would like to do is drive.Monique Williams, Email
Stumped byduration ofroadworksHOW is it possible for a company to take solong to fix less than 5km of road?It’s been over three years now andwe resi-
dents are really getting irate when the signsays 10 to 15 minutes delay and countlesstimes in both directions I have sat for over30 minutes waiting at the stop/go.It’s unacceptable; workers are standing
watching other workers dig when everyonecould be working twice as fast if there wasno watching and more working.The small businesses are dying in Fish
Hoek.If the employees feel they will get paid
more for taking longer why not offer theman incentive towork faster?Evenbetter, em-ploy more workers who want to work andwho do the job with haste and less lazy peo-ple who just watch. Earning wages meansworking for them – not just showing up andholding a shovel to look busy.(One) morning there was what looked like
a supervisor or foreman on the phone whileone worker was digging in the trench andanother just leaning on his shovel watchinghim. Where are the rest?I call upon all residents and road users to
start demanding adeadline and results. Thisis ridiculous and we can only take so much.When will this be over?
Nades, very annoyed Fish Hoek resi-dent
Fedean Petersen, Waste-Mart IndustrialRelations Officer, responds:Waste-Mart isbound by the contract specifications as envis-aged by the City of Cape Town under Tender387S/2010/2011 (section 5), which clearly ex-cludes Muizenberg from dry collection/recy-cling.The rationale for issuing the recycling bags
initially is because the resident committed toremoving her own recycling and disposing ofit at Lakeside, an arrangement evidently nolonger convenient.Waste-Mart, however, can-not commit to removing any recycling in theMuizenberg area as this would be consideredas a violation of the tender specifications.Should residents require such services, itmust be negotiated with the local municipali-ty.Councillor David D’Alton responds: I
was advised by officials they would contactthe client and resolve the issue. I have heardnothing further. I was unaware Muizenbergwas excluded from the recycling pro-gramme. I will investigate to seewhetherwecannot include Muizenberg in future recy-cling collections.
KimDiedericks, of ChandEnvironmentalConsultants, responds: I suggest this per-son registers as an interested party and getsthe programme information and latest up-dates from Chand Environmental Consult-ants on (021) 762 3050 or [email protected] Starke, director of Civils 2000, re-
sponds:Civils 2000will not respond to anony-mous letters.

Be careful when using a housesitterI NEEDED a house sitter for December andJanuary, as I was going to visit my son andfamily overseas.The very reliable housesitter whom I usu-ally engaged, sadly passed away suddenlyand I had to find another sitter.My hairdresser recommended someonewho had sat for her. On that recommenda-tion I interviewed the sitter and engaged herfor the duration of my visit to care for myanimals. I subsequently found out that thehousesitter only sat for a weekend.When I came back home I discovered my
cutlery odd and missing and I called andshowed her, but after she had gone I startedto look around and found many more thingsmissing – and a few electrical items broken.I shudder to think what happened to my ani-mals in my absence.This is a warning to others: don’t only ac-cept one reference and get very recent con-tactable references and telephone numbersfrom a few people.Also, get the housesitter’s proper home ad-dress, too.Marcia Day, Silverlea
Thanks for prompt and good serviceI WANT to convey my sincere thanks to Tri-tel TV Repairs in Sun Valley.I had just fetched my husband from hospi-tal and found that the on/off switch was notworking on the TV. I phoned Tri-tel whocame and fetched the TV only 20 minutes lat-
er and brought it back in working condition.I would like to say “thank you” for theirefficiency and friendly service. As a pension-er it’s good to know there are still kindpeoplearound.Gerry Cox, Sun Valley

Firstly, False Bay Hospitalagreed to replace very vital epilepsy medica-tion. (He has a particularly severe form)
And then, for all those gestures of kind-ness, even from strangers, who called to findout if he was okay. “Thank you” seems trivi-al, but the sentiment of gratitude gives itenormousweight,which comes fromus in allsincerity.Peter Voges, Fish Hoek
Drivers disregard new intersectionFISH HOEK now boasts a new set of robotsat the intersection of Kommetjie and River-side roads. This must no doubt be a blessingto the residents of Silverglades, who havewaited some 20 years for this.However, I wonder how long it will be be-fore the next set of speed cameras are put inplace. On numerous occasions I have seencars blatantly jump the red lights. In fact, Ihave even seen cars and taxis increase theirspeed, when it changes to red, to avoid stop-ping.And the worst was, one evening while outwalking, the Kommetjie Road robot had beenred for a considerable time. There was a carthat had stopped in one lane and I witnesseda taxi approach and drive straight throughthe red light!This is becoming another 17th Avenue andQuarry Road intersection, and it won’t belong before accidents occur. Do we wait forlives to be taken before something is done?Will a speed camera help? Can we approachthe authorities with this in mind?
A traffic circle would have served its pur-pose and was requested at the KommetjieRoad meeting, but robots were installed.What were the authorities thinking?Veronica van der Merwe, Fish HoekWard councillor Felicity Purchase re-sponds: With respect to the comment on therequest for a traffic circle, it was explained atthe last public meeting why a circle would notoperate well at this intersection. Circles oper-ate well when the traffic flows on all approachroads are roughly balanced. This is becausethe yield-to-the-right rule then results in theflow on each approach being interrupted regu-larly.With no interruptions in the Kommetjie
Road flow from the west (from Kommetjie),motorists on Riverside Roadwould not be ableto enter the circle as they would perpetuallyhave to yield to traffic entering the circle fromtheir right.We will request for another camera to be sit-
uated at this intersection at the next opportu-nity we get.
