This follows the closing of the voting peri- od and public meetings where residents raised their objections. According to Eckard Polter from St James there are various irregularities being ques- tioned as they believe the steering commit- tee did not obtain 64% of the votes as stated. He explains in some cases one property consisted of up to three erven which granted three votes in favour of the SRA. “These erven include garages and small pieces of land which cannot possibly be al- lowed a vote. This pushed the numbers up,” he said. Polter said “yes” votes from Fisherman’s Village were questioned at a recent meeting. “In many of these cases, we have found that while people voted and have lived in their homes for years, the properties had not been transferred and so they weren’t the owners,” he said. In a letter to City of Cape Town officials on the proposed SRA, resident Yoav Eytam raised various irregularities with the count- ing of votes in St James. According to the letter the proposed SRA has only received 54% of “yes” votes which is not enough for the application to be lodged. However, in response Runan Rossouw senior professional officer for the City’s SRA compliance and establishment department says 61% yes votes have been obtained. For a residential SRA the committee is re- quired to obtain 60% “yes” votes. Jim Russell, a member of the steering com- mittee, says the votes collected were based on data spreadsheets provided by the City. He said the committee was told voting would be for ratable properties only. “This means if you have one property with three erven where rates are being paid you get three votes,” he says. Russell says the committee collected the votes in good faith but were the first to admit errors were made. He explained the committee collected 64% “yes” votes which was submitted to the City for verification. Russell says shortly before the last public meeting the committee was informed the City had enquiries which they responded to. He said an establishment of an SRA is an entirely new process and the committee is not defensive about making mistakes. “We put the proposal (forward) and col- lected votes both for and against in good faith. We submitted the votes and residents who had objections lodged them with the City,” he says. Russell says while the City audits the votes, the committee has not made contact with officials as this would be inappropriate. City Mayoral Committee member for Fi- nance Ian Neilson says all applications for proposed SRAs are checked by the City. The City will assess five applications, in- cluding this one, at their next council meet- ing on Wednesday 28 May. He says the votes are based on the City’s Property Rates Policy and the Billing Sys- tem and applied on a property data extract. “The votes were audited to ensure that they meet the policy and process require- ments,” he says. Neilson explains the steering committee is provided with as much information as possi- ble but with all such applications, there could be anomalies which may be interpret- ed differently between the applicant and the City staff checking the application. This was the case for this application, Neilson explains, as they could not foresee all the intricacies they would encounter. Case in point is Fisherman’s Village where properties were inherited and the transfer of the properties in the Deeds Office had not been completed yet the residents have used these properties for years and are considered as owners by the City. Neilson says the City has found that the steering committee has acted in good faith and found no evidence of any underhand dealings or manipulation of votes. Neilson says out of a total of 887 proper- ties, the City received 47 objections while 533 supported the proposal for an SRA. “All of the properties in the area demar- cated by the applicant and registered in the Deeds Office as a separate property will be added to the database provided to all appli- cants,” he says. This meant owners of such properties would be charged the additional rate should the SRA be approved. He said this happens before there is any indication of the owners’ vote and cannot be seen as favouring the steering committee or the objectors.

CONSUMERS: SOLAR GEYSERS

How the rebate affects youMICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertMB

Electrical geysers may well continue toguzzle up some 60% of household elec-tricity supply as some incentives by Es-

kom to get more people solar-savvy havebeen cancelled.The energy supply giant said it has placed

its Load Reduction Rebate Programme un-der review, meaning rebates worth thou-sands of rands it has been doling out to solar-enthusiastic households will be severlycurbed.A leading solar products company has

since drawn up a petition against the energygiant because of this decision to cut rebates.“In a surprise move, Eskom has terminat-

ed the current solar rebate programme, ef-fective from 1 May, with minimal notice tothe public, industry and other stakehold-ers,” said Klint Munton, owners of SunScanSolar Energy Technologies.“This means that all Eskom solar rebates

will fall away, in stark contrast to their pub-lic image of endorsing, supporting and sub-sidising more energy-efficient ways of heat-ing water and, in turn, saving electricity,”Munton said.“Eskom’s major campaigns, which have

cost millions, warn us to cut back on our us-age and urge us to turn off pool pumps, gey-

sers and non-essential appliances.“Despite this, electricity demand still ex-

ceeds supply during peak periods, and nowEskom is pulling the plug on their endeavorto save power by their subsidising of energy-aware consumers who install power-savingwater heaters and geysers,” Munton said.“The question remains that with an elec-

tricity grid under severe strain, how is itpossible that a programme such as the LoadReductionRebateProgrammecanbediscon-tinued?”The City of Cape Town, a major Eskom

customer, said the rebate cuts only appliedto high-pressure solar geysers, and then on-ly if the components used in the making ofthese geysers have beenmostly locally man-ufactured.“There are new requirements around re-

bates and high-pressue systems, being thatrebates will only applywhere production in-cludes 70% locally produced components,”said Sarah Ward, head of the City’s energydepartment.Ward said there had been little movement

regarding the low-pressure systems mostlyused in low-cost housing schemes.“The national low-pressure solar water

heating programme is on hold. It has beenfor the past two-and-a-half years,” she said.This is in linewith Eskom’s response. The

energy giant said the rebates were not cutcompletely, but are taking a different tack.“The programme is under review to en-

hance certain aspects such as creatingmoreopportunities to stimulate local manufac-ture, and the level of rebate,” said LatetiaVenter, Eskom’s marketing and communi-cations manager.“The programme will continue, but with

changes which are currently under consid-eration,” she said.“There will be no negative implication to

the grid as the subsidy will continue.“Selected areaswith low-cost housing con-

sumers will continue to receive low-pres-sure solar water heating systems for free,”Venter said.There are two popular kinds of solar-pow-

ered geysers: one that works with solartubes, the other with solar flat-plates.A typical 200F solar tube system for a fami-

ly of four costs R29 697. The Eskom rebateon this system is R5 865. Thus, in total, itcomes down to R23 832. Munton said with fi-nancing this amount was repayable over upto five years with a monthly instalment ofR998.“One very important point to note – the

tubes are only manufactured overseas.South Africa does not have a manufacturefacility to make this product,” Munton said.“With Eskomwanting to do awaywith the

rebate on imported products this is going tolimit the homeowner to flat-plate technologyonly.“This becomes problematic when the

home owner has a roof orientation which ismore than 45° off north. Flat-plates do notperform well when placed on such a roof,”he said.Munton’s petition against the rebate cut

remains. “We will continue to lobby Eskom,regulatory bodies and government to over-turn this decision. We urge all South Afri-cans to join the community for change andsign (the) petition to make Eskom aware ofhow the rebate cuts affect the pockets andshifts mindsets against creating a greenerSouth Africa.”Eskom responsed to the petition that it “is

not intending to close the programme”.V View the petition at https://secure.avaaz.org/en/pe­tition/Phindile_Baleni_CEO_of_NERSA_Petition_Es­kom_to_keep_the_Solar_Rebate_for_ALL_products/?wMnMphb

CRIME: TEMPERS ERUPT AT CONFRONTATION

Community at boiling pointMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Misinformation about murders inOcean View sent tempers flaring lastweek as residents gathered to march

to the police station.A group of about 30 residents gathered at

the civic centre on Thursday 1 May and wasled by Ocean View Civic Association (OV-CA) vice-chairperson Patrick Joseph.Confusion on the number of deaths in the

community was evident as residents dis-cussed various shootings and deaths.Joseph says a spate of shootings during

April had the community on edge as therewas no available information.

“There is no Community Police Forum(CPF) and no neighbourhood watch so asconcerned parents we will march to the po-lice station and ask for information,” hesaid.The group was addressed by Mark Wiley,

chairperson of the Community Safety, Cul-tural Affairs and Sport portfolio committeeand member of provincial parliament, whosaid there have been eight deaths in just sixmonths.Josephsaid the residentswere confusedas

there were six or seven deaths in the lastmonth.“The killings are not that widespread,” he

said.Wiley said while the parliamentary com-

mittee had an oversight over police stationsthey didnot have the authority to “tell policewhat to do”.He explained following the concerns

raised he has reported the matter to the pro-vincial police and a “high-level” investiga-tion is underway.Wiley questioned police inactivity in

Ocean View and questioned why arrests re-lating to drug activity could not be made.Ward councillor Simon Leill-Cock said

Metro Police had made several drug arreststhat week including the arrests of two wom-en at an organic food factory in LekkerwaterRoad and another two arrests in a raid inOcean View.However, City of Cape Town executive di-

rector for Safety and Security Richard Bos-man could not confirm the arrests in OceanView.South Peninsula Subcouncil chairperson

Felicity Purchase pleaded with residents totake a “zero tolerance approach to crime”.She said parents needed to play a bigger

role and keep tabs on their children’s activi-ties.“When your child comes home with an

item you know you haven’t given themmon-ey for or youknow they can’t affordyouhaveto question it,” she said.Wiley said while the group gathered to

protest drugs and crime, informants for awell-known drug dealer stood among them.The group then marched to the station to

seek answers but were surprised when theywere turned away.Joseph, accompanied by Sharone Daniels,

went into the police station but says theywere dismissed by officers.Ocean View Police Station commander

Lieutenant-Colonel Jakobus Augus says thegroupwas turnedawayas theyhadnotmade

an appointment.He said since the beginning of the year

four shootings had been reported to the sta-tion, but would not comment on the numberof murders.He said police liaised with residents

through the crime sector forums and saysshould residents not get assistance from po-lice they cancontact him to laya formal com-plaint.V SMS your thoughts on this issue. Starting with theword “Post”, SMS your comments to 32516. SMSescost R1.

Does this Citywork for you?

According to a national survey, the Cityof Cape Town has come out tops withregard to service delivery, with more

than 70% of those surveyed saying they aresatisfied with their municipal services.

This according to the independent SACus-tomer Satisfaction Index.

The real question is, does Cape Town havethe best service delivery, or does the countryneed a service delivery make-over.

This is what People’s Post readers had tosay.

WILHELMINA JOSEPH says the City does not havethe best service delivery owing to poor publictransport. “I take two trains to work and I am lateevery morning no matter how early I wake up.”

SINOXOLO BANGANI discounts the results.“There are too many problems in the poor areasto say our service delivery is best. Fix the ruralareas and fix the transport system.”

PETER DAMONSE says the only problem he haswith the municipality is waste management. “Itis unnecessary for us to pay a dumping ticket toget our old waste removed.” PHOTOS: JODY FORTUIN

ZEZETHU MGWEPA says: “I’m originally fromEastern Cape and I agree the City is the best, butmy biggest problem here is the gap between therich and the poor.”

SELWYN QUICKFALL has no problems with servicedelivery in his area, but he is aware of the lackof it in the rural areas. “The City needs to focuson the poor communities.”

AUDREY BUTCHER disagrees with the survey andis very unhappy with the municipality. “They needto get a sense of urgency when it comes to im­provements. Rural communities are suffering,”

IGNATIUS MORRISON says the City is delivering,but improvements can be made. “I don’t takepublic transport, but I hear people complainabout the safety issues and it’s always late.”

05:00 in the week and the woman says shestands at her back window to ensure noth-ing happens.She explains the men can be seen at all

hours of the night and seem undeterred.“When you pass them you can smell they

have been smoking dagga, but they don’tcare. They continue to do their thing,” shesays.She explains while the loitering is a com-

mon sight, not many residents speak outdue to fear.“We see the exchanges, so we can only as-

sume it is drugs and if they are busy withdrugs it means all kinds of trouble,” shesays.Another resident, who does not want her

name printed, says residents living in Petu-nia Street are faced with similar problems.She claims the men gathered outside

their flats where they gamble and “smokedrugs” during the night.“It is quite disgusting how they stand and

smoke drugs in the open,” she says.“We are very worried about the safety of

our children.”In previous comment, Ocean View Police

Station commander Lieutenant-Colonel Ja-kobus Augus says illegal gambling and loi-teringwere bylaw infringements and no ar-rests have been made.South Peninsula Subcouncil chairperson

‘Black and Yellow’ on a goal huntLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Milano United will need to win big to haveany hope of qualifying for the Absa Pre-miership promotion/relegation play-offs.The Grassy Park side are currently

fourth on theNational First Division (NFD)table, level on points and goal differencewith third-placed Black Leopards but trail-ing due to an inferior number of goalsscored.Milano can still finish the season placed

second or third and qualify for the play-offs,butwill need to pull off a high-scoring victo-ry in their final gameorpickupwhat pointsthey can and hope for favourable results inother fixtures.Any of the sides from second to fifth place

can still finish in the secondand third spots.Second-placed Baroka FC will host 10th-

placed Thanda Royal Zulu, and will be ex-pect to pull of a win to increase their pointstally to 52 to seal second place.Third-placed Black Leopards will travel

to fifth-placed Jomo Cosmos, who could in-

crease their points total to 49 and climb tothird on the table if they win and Milanodo not.The Black and Yellow will host Chippa

United, who were crowned league champi-ons on Sunday, and will finish with 50points should they win. Should Baroka win– as expected – and Milano and Black Leop-ardswinby the samenumberof goals, Leop-ards will remain third thanks to a higheramount of goals scored.Should Baroka draw or lose, victories for

Leopards and Milano will see both sides gothrough – with goal difference or goalsscored again the deciding factor for whichteam finishes higher.Milano United lost 1-0 to Chippa in the re-

verse fixture in December and have scoredthe least goals in the top four this season.All signs seem to indicate that the Black

andYellow could struggle to pull off anyvic-tory, never mind one which improves theirgoal difference significantly.V Milano United vs Chippa United will take place atRooikrans Sports Complex in Ninth Avenue, GrassyPark at 15:00 on Sunday 11 May.

Tigers tears up Super League ALIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

UCT installed themselves as early sea-son Super League A title favouriteswith a fourth comprehensive victory

last weekend.The Ikey Tigers are the only side to have

playedmore thanone gameand takenmax-imum points from all, and currently topthe league standings.They launched straight into their Super

League A campaign after winning the Var-sity Cup, with the momentum serving

them well.The Tigers kicked off the campaign with

a 49-22 demolition of Tygerberg at FloridaPark, before thrashing NNK 64-28 at theJan Burger Stadium, cruising past KuilsRiver 38-12 at the Green Mile and pummel-ling Primrose 49-11 at Rosmead on Satur-day.The bonus point victories means UCT

have a points total of 20 and lead second-placed Victorians by five points.However, their toughest test so far comes

on Saturday in the form of rivals Stellen-bosch University – also unbeaten after

three matches and third on 14 points.UCT beat Maties both home and a away

in the Varsity Cup this year, and the Ma-roon Machine will be itching for revenge.Maties will have to improve on their last

showing, a narrow 19-18 win against toptier newcomers False Bay at home on Sat-urday.Both UCT and Stellenbosch will also be

in action on Wednesday 14 May, facing SKWalmers and Helderberg respectively.Hamiltons are also expected to put in a

strong challenge for the Super League A ti-tle this season after a promising showing

at the Community Cup.The Sea Point side finished third, losing

just once during the tournament.South Africa’s oldest club edged Victori-

ans 31-28 in their opening game last Satur-day and can be expected to pull off anotherwin away against Kuils River this week-end.SK Walmers will travel to face Helder-

berg in their fifth game of the season, look-ing to pick up their third victory.Meanwhile, FalseBaywill hostBelhar in

their fourth game and be looking to securetheir third win of the season.
