Residents rally to push out prostitutesMELISSA LE ROUX
NOW that Joanne Road inLansdowne has been cleared
of prostitutes, the “working”girls have taken their “business”to liquor outlets and nightclubs.
Since the festive season, an in-creased number of prostitutes werenoted in Joanne Road, causinggreat concern among residents,(Joanne Road a ‘red light district’,People’s Post, 24 January)
This, however, has come to a haltafter the inception of the “TakingBack Our Streets – LansdowneAgainst Prostitution” campaign inFebruary.

Proud to be South African“TO be proudly South African is natural.There is no other way to live, as the environ-ment is inspiring and excellent.”
This is according to the owners of a Proud-ly South African member company, Gepard-issima, whose local jewellery creations areinspired by South Africa’s diversity andmultitude of urban styles.
Harald and Jutta Sitta describe them-selves as “proud immigrants” who left theabundance of baroque buildings in Vienna,Austria, to become proud South Africans.
“The strong, clear colours and vivid de-signs of our jewellery reflect the powerfulway of life here,” says Harald.
“South Africans have a positive approachto life and they are more humorous and re-laxed. The friendliness, politeness and help-
fulness of the people here makes us proud tobe South Africans,” he added.
Gepardissima’s vision for the year, cap-tures the essence of the Sitta’s experience aslocals.
“We want to make people happy and proudto wear our beautiful, local creations.”
The couple aims to add to their currentstaff compliment as the company grows, con-tributing to job creation.
The framework and design of the jewelleryis based on master sets which will never besold.
The pieces can also be specially designedand combined with diamonds and otherstones.

Cenotaph makes way for bus stationMELISSA LE ROUX
IN an effort to expand on the MyCitibus services, the City of Cape Townwill be constructing a dedicated bus
station in Adderley Street.
This expansion, however, will mean thatan historical landmark, the Cenotaph – acommemorative statue thathasbeenerect-ed in honour of the soldiers of World WarI – will be relocated to a different part ofthe area.
Mayoral committee member for trans-port, roads and stormwater, CouncillorBrett Herron, says the portion of land op-posite the rail station, is the ideal locationfor the MyCiti bus station.
“The proposed bus station would serveseven IRT routes, connecting communi-ties. This location would be perfect for lo-cation integration,” he says.
When People’s Post asked Herron aboutthe traffic congestion the new bus lanemight cause, as it already is a busy road,he responded by saying: “The constructionwill contribute to congestion, yes. Howev-er, we’re hoping that more people willmake use of the bus services, thereby elim-inating heavy traffic on the roads.”
A heritage assessment was done by the
City to find out what would be a suitablelocation for the relocation of the Cenotaph.
“We came up with three possible loca-tions for the Cenotaph. However, the ideallocation would be to put it on the Grand Pa-rade. It would then link up with other his-torical landmarks, such as the castle,” saysHerron.
People’s Post took to the streets of CapeTown to find out what people had to sayabout the relocation of the Cenotaph.Here’s what they had to say:
Paying rent made easyTHE payment of rent will be made easier forresidents who reside in City-owned proper-ties. The City of Cape Town will commencewith the city-wide roll-out of its door-to-doorrental collection project, following highlysuccessful pilot programmes in Atlantis, El-sies River and Retreat.
Residents will be able to pay their rentalfees from the convenience of their ownhomes as well as making more flexible pay-ment arrangements, thanks to collectorswho will visit their homes.
The City’s contractors, Trace Online, willappoint the collection team from within thecommunities in which they live.
This will create job opportunities throughthe City’s Expanded Public Works Pro-gramme.
The rental income received is used tomaintain the City’s rental stock – with nu-merous upgrade projects currently under-way – thus ensuring ongoing maintenanceand upkeep of rental housing.
Residents can also pay their rental fees attheir local Housing Offices – at any of theCity’s Cash Offices – or at Shoprite, Pick ‘n
Pay and the Post Office.As part of their commitment to making
Cape Town a caring city, they remain mind-ful that some of their residents in City-owned properties do not have the financialmeans to pay their monthly rental fees.
In such cases, they will assist the occu-pants in applying for an indigent grant. Ifresidents qualify for an indigent grant, theywill only be required to pay a minimalamount towards their rental.
Where residents who are struggling to paydo not qualify for an indigent grant, they willassist them through their debt managementprocesses.
The City is also aware that some residentswho currently reside in their rental unitsmight not be the rightful tenants. In suchcases, the current residents will be requiredto enter into a month-to-month contract.
Additionally, the Human Settlements Di-rectorate runs an incentive scheme where,each month, debtors who have paid theirrent regularly for three consecutive monthsstand a chance to win one of six prizes of R1000, in shopping vouchers.
Creating a new lifeTHENewLifeRestorationdrugaddictionsupport group meets every Monday at20:00, at St Gerhards Catholic Hall in Kes-trel Way, Parkwood, and Thursdays at20:00 in Field Street Community Hall, Lo-
tus River. They offer support for both par-ents and addicts and families that havebeen affected by substance abuse.

Here if you need helpTHE Prostate Cancer Support Action Group(PSA) will be meeting on Tuesday 20 Marchat the auditorium of the ConstantiabergMediClinic in Plumstead.
Terry Herbert, author and prostate cancersurvivor, will give a talk at the meeting, giv-
ing insight into his experience and provid-ing some encouragement.
Newly diagnosed patients and their part-ners or caretakers from the Cape Metro areaare welcome to attend.
The meeting starts at 18:00.For more information on the organisation
and event phone or SMS the group on073 560 3067.
TRAFFIC JAMS: Priscilla Fester feelsthe new bus stationwould just causetraffic jams. “I don’tthink it’s a goodidea, imagine allthe traffic that willbe jammed up because of that dedicated bus lane.”
ROAD TOO BUSY: “InLong Street, I seehow all the busesdrive down there,and it’s dangerous.Just think how it willbe if there are moreof them on thisroad,” says Flora Kashiri.

Safe haven struggling to stay afloatSUMMER JACOBS
FOR 15 years, Loaves and Fishes, a safehaven in Observatory, has helped to carefor people living on the street and has aid-ed those wanting to escape alcohol anddrug abuse.
However,with the loss ofR8 000 of theirmu-nicipal grant, the home may have to close itsdoors as soon as 31 March if funds are notraised urgently.
The loss of the municipal grant came aftera head count had been done by the City ofCape Town. They count the number of heads
in a facility and pay out accordingly. At thetime Loaves and Fishes’ headcount tookplace, there were only 18 or 19 people stayingthere, says Peter Anderson, chairman of theboard of directors.
He adds that the City is not to blame fortheir financial difficulty.
“We’ve been struggling for about two yearsnow, each month we’ve got less coming in.Specifically over the last yearwe’vehada lossof support.
“Everybody’s battling financially.”The home falls under the auspices of 12
mainline churches and offers a renewal pro-gramme which includes identifying and ad-dressing the root causes of the person’s prob-lem, coach life skills and job skills, and refer
clients for specialistsupport if necessary.
Although the homecan house up to 50 cli-ents, they only have 23at present because staffis limited.
“We wish we couldtake on more people,that is what the facilitywas built for, but wesimply cannot affordit. At it stands, we onlyhave three staff mem-bers,” says Anderson.
Peter Dlamini (35),one of the staff mem-bers, is a product of theLoaves and Fishes re-newal programme. Ar-riving in 2000 at thehome, Dlamini was liv-ing on the street andaddicted to drugs. “Iheard about Loavesand Fishes at a soupkitchen in town. I havebeen here eight yearsand I’ve kicked mydrug habit and foundthe Lord through Biblestudies they havehere,” says Peter with aquiet dignity.
Dlamini, – whoworks in administra-tion – along with histwo colleagues, social worker Colette May,and housekeeper Vivian Miller are the onlythree employed by the home. Unless the grantis replaced, they may be unemployed by nextmonth. Loaves and Fishes would also have to
find alternative shelter for its 23 residents.If you can assit with a donation, or by vol-
unteering at Loaves and Fishes, contact theCEO Dr Ben Kotze on (021) 447 7714 or call theLoaves and Fishes home on (021) 448 5900.

Parkwood clinic targeted by burglarsTAURIQ HASSEN
RESIDENTS of Parkwood areup in arms over the number
of times public facilities havebeen burgled and vandalised,with a recent incident leavingthe Parkwood Community Clinicdrenched in water.
The spate of incidents hasprompted a visit from Mayco mem-ber forhealth,CouncillorLungiswaJames, who arrived at the clinic onWednesday 7 March, the night afterthe clinic had been burgled.
“I am very saddened by this andI can’t believe this is happening,”said James, as she carefully tiptoedthrough the water in the hallwaysof the clinic.
On Tuesday 6 March, thieves en-tered through the roof of the clinic,removing the copper piping andemergency hose pipes, leaving wa-ter to gush out on the side and in-side of the building.
“This can only be people living inthe community, many of these peo-ple could easily have been visitingthe clinic for shots when they were
young, but it’s devastating and wemust move forward,” says James.
Ward Councillor MelanieArendse highlighted that a break-inat the clinic “was nothing new” asearlier this year, the clinichadbeenbroken into three times in oneweek.
“It’s really sad to see these facili-ties, that offer help to the communi-ty, being broken down and brokeninto by their very own people, butit’s difficult to catch them, becausethe community themselves are re-luctant to give any information,”says Arendse.
When People’s Post arrived at theclinic last week, residents had towait outside due to the wet condi-tions inside the waiting room.Workers focused mainly on stop-ping the leaks and cleaning up thewet hallways.
Shanaaz Adams from Parkwood,stressed that the lack of security atthe clinic provides a window of op-portunity for thieves.
“When you arrive at this clinic,there is no security and I think thisgives thieves the impression thatthey can just come and break into
the clinic whenever they feel theneed to, and that leaves us as moth-ers and parents helpless,” says Ad-ams.
Her close friend, Ruwayda Stel-lenboom, was “sick to hear aboutthe break-ins” at the clinic and be-lieves that one incident is alreadytoo much.
She adds that members of thecommunity are not willing to pro-vide information for fear of theirsafety, as many of the people re-sponsible for breaking inat the clin-ic, were addicted to drugs.
“I am not saying I know who it is,but somebody has to know, becauseit’s strange that nobody ever doesanything about it, but they all knowit happened,” says the confusedlooking Stellenboom.
James suggested that security beemployed at the clinic, specificallyfocusing on members from the com-munity, who are willing to “protectthe clinic”.
She highlighted that the prob-lems at the clinic could also serveas a “job creation opportunity”,where unemployed members fromthe Parkwood community can be
employed to serve as securityguards.
“These people really do not de-serve this and we must look into so-lutions to address their concerns,because the children are really theones losing out,” says James.
Arendse was keen on findingways to address the security issues
around the clinic, suggesting that apublic meeting be held at the localcommunity centre.
“This would be the first step infinding solutions to this problem,because we cannot carry on likethis and we need this clinic to be op-erational within the community,”Arendse concluded.

Your voice must be heardLAST week Thursday, as I was handingout soup and bread at Freedom Park In-formal Settlement, I noticed a veryyoung boy coughing badly and I prayedfor him.
Only when I enquired about his par-ents was I told the mother had left withthe baby two months ago for a placecalled Hanover.
The sister, called Barbie, at the age ofnine is left to feed,clean and look afterthe sick boy as well as his younger broth-er.
The father leaves early in the morningto work and arrives home late at night.The mother is receiving the total childgrant but is spending it in Hanover. I de-cided to report the incident to the May-or’s office for attention.
After sending my report I heard on theradio a social worker stating that sheand others have over one hundred caseloads and they are growing increasinglydespondent. To make matters worsethere is a shortage of social workers.
Social services cannot say the boat hasinsufficient sailors on board. They have
to keep this vital shipping lane open andworking. This kind of statement and logreport will encourage child abuse andneglect because abusers are aware of theinsufficient policing by social services.
We cannot throw our hands up andblame the recession, unemployment orpoverty.
What happens to Barbie and her situa-tion? Will I get the urgent investigationI requested or are we going to leave heralone on that stormy sea she never askedto sail on. We have to get our act togeth-er.
Never say it will, or cannot happen tome, my children or grandchildren, as thetide can change for each one of us regard-less of our social status. Your voice mustbe heard to get the ball rolling, your codeof silence must become a roar.
We must stand together and act togeth-er as that rainbow child that was bornin 1994. This letter is my contribution toBarbie. I want her to know I tried andhope to show her I did.KEITH ALFRED ADOLPH BLAKEOTTERY

Casual day, casual mannerismsONE has to wonder if Casual Day forschool learners is a good idea.
The prupose of a school uniform is tosave on wear and tear on casual dress,and most importantly, to identify andlink pupils to a certain school, in theevent of accidents, vandalism etc.
Learners fail to attend school, walk
around with cigarettes publicly etc, andthe same day (Friday) school closes at12:30.
This certainly is a concern to parents,and certainly a hindrance to the rest ofthe community, who face foul language,disrespect and idle hands.ARTHUR PILLAY

Young sprinterdedicated towhat he lovesLIAM MOSES
IT’S theadrenalinerush thatYusuf Ismail loves about
sprinting – the feeling he getswhile crouched at the startingline, flanked by his competi-tors, waiting for the startinggun to fire.
This 18-year-old WynbergBoys High School student, hasbeen taking part in athleticssince he was in primary school,and his love for the sport hascaused him to pursue it with im-mense and unwavering dedica-tion.
Ismail’s passion for the sport isas clear as daylight – his eyeswiden and a smile grows acrosshis face at the mere mention ofsprinting or athletics.
“It’s the thrill, the excitement.The nerves when you’re stand-ing on the line, when you go onyour mark. It’s intense but excit-ing. I don’t know how to describeit.
“I’ve been running since pri-mary school and nothing haschanged. It’s the same feeling.That’s what I like.”
Ismail spends most of his freetime either training for or com-peting in sprint events, and hispassion, dedication and desire to succeedhas seen him make steady gains.
In 2011 he was part of the Western Capeteam which competed at the nationalgames in Polokwane, and he returnedhome with a silver medal for the 200 me-tre sprint event.
However, athletics was not always hisfavourite sport and it was not the firstsport that he achieved provincial recog-nition in. It was cricket that earned Is-mail a scholarship to Wynberg Boys, andin 2007 he was selected to the WesternProvince squad for a national age-groupcricket tournament.
The young sprinter said that he grewbored with cricket and he has sincedropped the game completely to concen-trate on his first love.
“I’m stronger at cricket than I am atAthletics, because I used to struggle tomake the Province team in athletics,whereas in cricket I was really good.
“Athletics practice is fun. The peopleI train with make it fun. The race itselfgives you that nervous feeling. I like run-ning. I’d rather stick to what I love thanwhat I’m good at.”
Ismail added that during his last daysof playing cricket, what he enjoyed mostwas being able to run after balls whenfielding.
This Pelican Heights (near PelicanPark) resident says that his primaryshort term goal is to make it into theSouth African athletics squad, and thathe hopes to represent South Africa at the2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
