OCEAN VIEW

Speedsters spark ireMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Ocean View residents arethreatening to dig trenchesin a popular avenue to slow

down speeding motorists.This follows a request for traffic

calming measures in Alcor Ave-nue being turned down by the Cityof Cape Town.Residents say the busy road is

used as a thoroughfare by taxisand buses during peak hours.This they claim is due to another

parallel road, Alpha Way, beingequipped with speed bumps toslow down the traffic.Alcor Avenue and Alpha Way

are the only two roads in this sec-tion which connect Aries Avenueand Milky Way.Resident Lester Kallis says with

the measures implemented in Al-pha Way, Alcor Avenue has be-come a “free for all”.The taxis and buses speed and

use this residential road as a thor-oughfare. The taxis are often see-ing racing each other down thisroad to get passengers first,” he ex-plains.A request for traffic calming

measures was submitted earlierthis month and the response hasresidents fuming.According to a letter from City

engineering technician SolomziMdlangasoAlcorAvenue is aClass5 residential access road.He writes: “The traffic volumes

were observed not to be signifi-cantly high and remained wellwithin the environmental capacityof the road.”Mdlangaso recommends the in-

stallation of one speed bump mid-way along Alcor Avenue whenfunds become available.Speaking during a meeting last

week, residents claimed this wasnot enough.Elaine Savage says in the last

year her son and grandson havebeen in accidents. She saysher sev-

en-year-old grandson was playingoutside when a speeding motor-bike veered off the road and hithim. “He has several injuries andwe were in shock. We are thankfulit wasn’t worse,” she says.One resident says if the City did

not make the road safer, he woulddig trenches and motorists wouldbe forced to slow down.

“This is about the safety of ourchildren and families. We can’twait for a serious accident or forsomeone to die,” he said as resi-dents cheered him on.City Mayoral Committee mem-

ber for Transport Brett Herronconfirms the assessment and saysit was conducted at 09:30.“Wemaynothave recognised the

severity of the problem. We willtherefore be happy with reviewingthe decision,” he says.According to Traffic Services

spokesperson Richard Colemanthey have not received complaintsor requests for speed enforcementin Alcor Avenue.He says in the last three months,

theyhave issuesnine fines forvari-

ous traffic-related offences in thearea. “In light of the problem, Traf-fic Services will investigate thecomplaint and conduct more fre-quent enforcement operations inthe area,” Coleman adds.V Do you think Alcor Avenue needs morespeed bumps?

STREET PEOPLE

Working plan to assist homelessA 56-strong team will be heading to the

streets in a bid to help homeless peopleturn their lives around.

Council’s Social Development and EarlyChildhood Development Directorate recent-ly held an induction programme for the newfieldworkers and clerks who have been em-ployed through the Expanded Public WorksProgramme (EPWP) to help implement thedirectorate’s Street People Programme.R2.5m is being spent on the initiative,

council officials confirm.An induction programme was recently

held for 49 fieldworkers and seven clerkswho will be employed by the Street People

Programme until the first quarter of nextyear.The fieldworkers’ main objective will be

to engage with street people with a view toproviding assistance to those who want toget off the streets.Their tasks will include monitoring the

number of street people in their respectiveareas; identifying individual needs, includ-ing health issues and their prospects of re-turning home; identifying new arrivals andusing resources available to discouragethem from making a home on the streets;and facilitating other services required andtransfer to assessment centres.

Mayco Member for Social Developmentand Early Childhood Development SuzetteLittle says thedirectorate aims to employad-ditional field workers during the course ofthis financial year, once more funding be-comes available.Between April 2013 and June 2014, 116

fieldworkers were employed. Plans are alsoin place to appoint 24 permanent fieldwork-ers.“The appointment of fieldworkers is cru-

cial in our engagement with street people,”Little says. “They are at the coal face dailyand are able to help effect meaningfulchange in the lives of those who find them-

selves on the street and who are looking fora way out. The beauty of this initiative isthat we are not only helping people on thestreet. We are also addressing unemploy-ment through the appointment of fieldwork-ers – thus tackling two very important chal-lenges in our city.”The directorate will continue providing

employment opportunities for street peoplethrough the EPWP cleaning project.“We held a workshop earlier this year

where many street people indicated thatthey want to get off the streets, but face sev-eral challenges including unemployment,”she says.

KALK BAY BEACH

Waves of change roll onMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Plans to improve the management ofKalk Bay Beach are gaining momen-tum.

This follows the finalisation of an agree-ment between the City of Cape Town, theDepartment of Agriculture, Forestry andFisheries (Daff) and the Passenger RailAgency of South Africa (Prasa).The plan is for the City to take over the

management of the beach which has beenplagued by alcohol abuse, litter, open firesand drownings.Speaking during the South Peninsula

Subcouncil meeting chairperson FelicityPurchase said the agreement had been fi-nalised.She explained following the concerns

raised by Kalk Bay residents over the year,they were keen to take over.“We would like to assist by providing

cleaning, law enforcement and see to thesafety of bathers,” Purchase says.She explains the agreement has been

signed by the City and Prasa and they arenow waiting on Daff officials to give the fi-nal go-ahead.Following five drownings at the beach

over the last festive season, Purchase saysthey will also be providing lifeguards andthe beach will be managed like all otherbeaches run by the municipality.“This means no alcohol will be allowed,”

she added.Tony Trimmel, chairperson of the Kalk

Bay St James Ratepayers’ and Residents’Association says the agreement is wel-comed by the community.After years of fearing the annual on-

slaught of beachgoers, Trimmel says they

are relieved there will be Law Enforcementon the beach.He says the beachhas beenneglected over

the past few years and hopes the agreementwill improve the situation.Trimmel explains while residents and

private funders haveworked together to en-sure thebeach is cleanedeachyear, theyareglad itwill nowbedoneby themunicipality.“We have informed council that we are

still prepared to assist but we are glad thatthis has been taken off our shoulders,” he

says.Trimmel says theyhave also discussed se-

curity issues with Muizenberg police, whohave given their support to curb illegal ac-tivities on the beach.“During the warmer days in spring, we

have seen the crowds start to gather at thebeach. We are hoping Daff signs the agree-ment,” he added.V What is your opinion on the City managing KalkBay Beach? Starting with the word “Post”, SMS yourthoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Lifeguards to be trained in law enforcementAs the summer season nears, more life-guards will be covering the beaches of theMother City.The City of Cape Town last week ap-

proved the partnership between counciland Lifesaving Western Province to ensurethat lifesaving services will be available forthe upcoming 2014/15 summer season.While the municipality is responsible for

ensuring the safety of beach users through-out the year, the peak summer season fromOctober to February sees an increasednumber of seaside visitors which requiresadditional life guarding resources, councilofficials say in a statement.The Citywill contribute R3.5m to Lifesav-

ingWestern Province to “enable the organi-sation to fulfil its obligation of ensuringsafety on the beaches”, says Belinda Walk-er, Mayoral Committee member for Com-munity Services and Special Projects.“Trained and competent lifeguards are

one of the most critical requirements for

safety at amenities. Lifesaving WesternProvincehas a pool ofwell trained andqual-ified lifeguards who are able to deliver anessential service,” she says.This partnership will allow for a combi-

nation of volunteer and paid accredited life-guards for the 2014/15 season.For the upcoming summer period, coun-

cil’s Safety and Security directorate will

train a number of lifeguards to be qualifiedas volunteer Law Enforcement officers.They will have powers to confiscate liq-

uor and arrest offenders who do not obeyinstructions from lifeguards.The intention is that lifeguards will in-

creasinglybe trainedas lawenforcement of-ficers and certified to enforce City bylawson beaches, officials say.

SIMON’S TOWN

Bad receptionfor cell mastMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Anapplication to erect a cellphonemastin Simon’s Town has been given thethumbs down.

In the monthly South Peninsula Sub-councilmeeting the applicant andobjectorswere given the chance to air their views onthe application.

The proposed mast was to be located onNavy property in Cardiff Road but it cameunder scrutiny by surrounding residents.

According to the report the applicationwasmadebyWarrenPettersonPlanningonbehalf of MTN.

The report states that MTN is takingsteps to increase capacity and coverage inareas where there is an increased demand.

It also states that a rooftop base telecom-munication station was originally pro-posed but this application was for a singlepole resembling a street pole.

There were a total of 16 objections lodgedagainst the application as well as a petitionrepresenting 68 parties.

In a summary of objections, residentsraise their concern about microwave radia-tion.

The list also includes anobjection to erecta mast in the Simon’s Town Special Archi-tectural Area.

The City’s report raises a problem withthe type of application and says as the prop-erty is zoned as Limited Use, the applica-

tion for temporary departures to erect amast is incorrect.

Instead, the report says, an applicationfor rezoning should have been made.

For these reasons, the report suggestedcouncillors refuse the application.

Speaking during the subcouncil meeting,Professor Alexander Paterson who repre-sented the objectors, said the applicationwas misplaced and raised concerns aboutthe mast in the Simon’s Town Special Ar-chitectural Area.

He said the application should be with-drawn and re-submitted.

In his response, a representative from theplanners pointed out that the applicationwas processed by the City.

Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Pur-chase said as the application was technical-ly incorrect, councillors had to refuse theapplication.

Ward councillor SimonLiell-Cock saidhehad previously met with cellphone compa-nies and pointed out more suitable loca-tions.

“There are more appropriate sites in theareaand Iwould like to request that the cell-phone companies please come and talk tous so we can help,” he said.

Councillors unanimously agreed torefuse the applications.V What are your thoughts on cellphone mast applica-tions? Do you think they will be of benefit to thecommunity? Starting with the word “Post”, SMS yourthoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

That way the governmentsaves, and it is a good way to rehabili-tate prisoners.

. Send parolees home towhat exact-ly? The majority of parolees comefrom impoverished communities stillriddled with gangsterism and crime!Besides economic strain on families,there’s a guaranteed possibility thatparolees will revert to their old waysgiven that the prospect of rehabilita-tion is almost zero! Just saying.

. The electronic device is a goodthing for monitoring parolees. Anoth-

er suggestion is perhaps these inmatesshould be sentenced to the SA Nation-al Defence Force to learn discipline inseparate barracks without remunera-tion and have compulsory life skillsdevelopment programmes. The sever-ity of the barracks conditions dependson the severity of the crime and sen-tence. All those murdering and rob-bing should be put on the army front-line to protect the SA borders. ARSmith

Women should be protectedHow can we help reduce rape cases thisspring and summer?I have grappled with the issue of persist-

ent rape cases and sexual harassment onwomen. What comes to play is the fact thatwomen are weaker vessels and even if thereare cases of sexual harassment for both gen-ders, women seem to be more affected thanthe men.South Africa is a great country with rich

cultural heritage. The Medical ResearchCouncil results estimates about 3 600 report-ed rape cases a day in South Africa. I wasshocked when I read those stats recentlyduring Women’s Month!One wonders why this is the case in a

country with such a rich cultural heritage.

How can we help our girls and women? Aslong as we hide this issue, it will keep per-sisting. It is high time we stop assuming itwill fix itself.Menaremeant to be a protection to awom-

an but the minute they view a woman as acompetitor who needs to be silenced, therewill always be a problem.I am also appalled when I walk the streets

ofMuizenberg and see womenwearing littleto no clothing. No wonder men are temptedsexually.I realise there are many causes of rape.

But I want women all over South Africa tobe cautious, and to help the men. And men,protect your women!MARGARET GICHUKI
