They say they moved back shortly before Christmas to find faulty electrical connec- tions and faulty plumbing. As part of the City of Cape Town’s project to give the community a facelift, the Marble Flats in Ottery were renovated last year. But, say residents, they are not entirely happy with the work done at their homes. One resident, who requested to remain anonymous out of fear of being victimised, says her electrical connections were not in- stalled properly. “I realised something wasn’t right when my units weren’t being deducted from the electric box. I only bought electricity once since we moved back in,” she says. “I overheard a group of contractors one day saying there is no earth wire installed for our court. How can this be? Who installs electricity to a flat, but does not install the earth wire?” she questions. The residents of Rina Court temporarily relocated to containers towards the end of November. “When we moved in we were told the work would take only two weeks. That obviously doesn’t sound right. How can they work on renovating a four-storey flat in only two weeks?” the resident adds. They returned to their homes two days be- fore Christmas. One resident lamented about the inferior plumbing renovations. “They connected the pipes incorrectly. I was told the geyser pipes were connected to the cylinder pipes. When I flushed my toilet, warm water would come out,” she says. The faults were reported to the contractor, Good Hope Construction. The resident says: “We reported the mat- ter to the contractor and they sent plumbers and electricians out.

Residents in Rina Court, Ottery, are upin arms after returning to their flats tofind renovations that are less than sat-
isfactory.They say they moved back shortly before
Christmas to find faulty electrical connec-tions and faulty plumbing.
As part of the City of Cape Town’s projectto give the community a facelift, the MarbleFlats in Ottery were renovated last year.
But, say residents, they are not entirelyhappy with the work done at their homes.
One resident, who requested to remainanonymous out of fear of being victimised,says her electrical connections were not in-stalled properly.
“I realised something wasn’t right whenmy units weren’t being deducted from theelectric box. I only bought electricity oncesince we moved back in,” she says.
“I overheard a group of contractors oneday saying there is no earth wire installedfor our court. How can this be? Who installselectricity to a flat, but does not install theearth wire?” she questions.
The residents of Rina Court temporarilyrelocated to containers towards the end ofNovember.
“When we moved in we were told the workwould take only two weeks. That obviouslydoesn’t sound right. How can they work onrenovating a four-storey flat in only twoweeks?” the resident adds.
They returned to their homes two days be-fore Christmas.
One resident lamented about the inferiorplumbing renovations.
“They connected the pipes incorrectly. Iwas told the geyser pipes were connected tothe cylinder pipes. When I flushed my toilet,warm water would come out,” she says.
The faults were reported to the contractor,Good Hope Construction.

PEOPLE'S POST | GRASSY PARKTuesday, 3 February 20152 ISSUES
Proposed regulations to clamp down on“illegal modifications and illegal rac-ers” seem to have had a false start.
The new regulation, made public twoweeks ago and which are to be added to theTraffic Regulations Act, caused an uproaramong the motoring fraternity. The pro-posed regulation seeks to “impose stricterfines on illegal racers and cars that aremodi-fied”, says a media release.Enthusiasts are now banding together to
take a stand against the proposed regula-tion.Meanwhile City of Cape Town safety and
security mayco member JP Smith said histeam will impose stricter fines on driversfound guilty of taking part in illegal races.He saidmedia reports that he andhis team
“plan to target drivers of modified vehicles”are “worryingly inaccurate”.“For the record, the City’s Traffic Service
is mandated to enforce the provisions of theNational Road Traffic Act No. 93 of 1996.[This is] a national piece of legislationwhichstates that anymodification of or tamperingwith a vehicle’s safety design renders the ve-hicle unroadworthy unless it is done by themanufacturer or a registered body builder,”Smith says.But car enthusiasts and the after-market
industry wants clarity on what this regula-tion will mean in practical terms.Cape TownCar Enthusiasts (CTCE) repre-
sentative Kersten Greybe says confusionhas many motorists driving in fear.“People are scared to even just drive their
cars to the corner shops since the announce-ment. Nobody knowswhat is happening andno answers have been given and we need toknow exactly what this means for the CapeTown car culture,” she says.Greybe says more people in the modified
car circle are selling their cars. “People areopting to sell their cars because they don’twant criminal records or to pay steep finesthat may land them in court eventually. Theproposed [regulation] is ridiculous and willnever work.”She agrees it is good to clamp down on ille-
gal racing as it “endangers the car culturein the province”.“Clamping downon illegal racers I canun-
derstand as they are a hazard on the road.
But to paint everybody with the same brushis horribly unfair.”She adds that manymotorists take part in
events at Killarney Raceway, but immedi-ately after events “we find ourselves in aroadblock, just outside the venue. What isthe point of practising your sport legally butyou’re victimised anyway?”She started an online petition to prevent
the proposed regulation being passed. At thetime of the interview she represented 20 000motorists. “We want our voices to be heard.For too longwe have been underdogs andwehave now decided to educate ourselves withregard to the proposed [regulation]. We ar-en’t artists with canvasses so ourmasterpie-ces are our cars,” she says.Interpretation of and enforcing the letter
of the law is also at issue. Online posts havebeen buzzing with incidents of clampdowns.Ghost Squad officers have, meanwhile,
been fining drivers of modified vehicles andeven confiscating their car licence discs.Two drivers, in a post on Facebook, were
en route to Killarneywhen theywere arrest-ed for allegedly speeding. The officers alsotook their car licence discs. One driver wasfined R4000 for “inconsiderate driving and
wheelspinning”.He posted that an officer said he would
“make an example of us because we are thepeople talking bad [sic] of them on socialmedia”.He posted: “We spent our legal race night
with real criminals. The Ghost Squad offi-cer did everything in his ability to lock usup although the police at the police stationdid not want him to do so because of thepetty offence.”But Smith maintains the City’s law en-
forcement agencies “enforce the provi-sions of these nationally mandated regula-tions”.Another motorist, who does not want to
be named, says the proposed regulation isdoomed. “It will never work,” he says.“They haven’t thought this through. Themotoring industry is huge and understand-ably people are in uproar. We feel victi-misedandhavenoclarity asSmith changeshis story every other day.”He says he is afraid to drive his car any-
where because the Ghost Squad is instill-ing fear in drivers. “I had lots of modifica-tions done tomy car, so it may perform bet-ter. I spent a lot of time and money on itonly tonownot be sure if I candrive aroundwith it as the Ghost Squad has been target-ing modified cars since the release of thearticle a week ago.”Registered tuner shops say they fear the
after-market industry will be under threatshould the bylaw impose stricter laws onanybody with a modified vehicle.Yaseen Abrahams, of CPi Performance
Innovation Cape Town, says they are“highly concerned” with the outlawing ofcar modifications. “CPi only engages in le-gal modification of cars and our work is ofthe highest standard. Outlawing modifica-tions will have a huge impact on the indus-try. Surely if individuals abide by the lawit is their right to modify their cars as theywish,” Abrahams says.The regulations are to be in effect in
April, but Smith adds the enactment of theregulations is the responsibility of the pro-vincial transport division.“The City has lobbied for the inclusion
of impoundment of vehicles where ownersare caught participating in illegal street ra-ces, steep vehicle release fees to act as a fur-ther deterrent, stricter penalties formotor-ists (including prison terms) especiallythose who try to evade the law when con-fronted and suitable penalties for specta-tors at illegal street races to be included inthe Act,” says Smith, who adds fitments byregistered after-market tuners are legal ifthe proper process has been followed.V What do you think the City should do to clampdown on illegal racers?

Proposed new regulations to stamp out illegal racing have been met with disbelief by themodified motoring fraternity. Many claim it will be difficult to enforce and say they’re beingvictimised because of the assumption that modified cars are used in illegal races.

In an attempt to curb crime in the commu-nity, a crime forumwas elected at ameet-ing held in the Grassy Park Multi-pur-
pose Centre on Wednesday 28 January.The meeting was attended by various
community leaders including principals,various non-governmental organisations(NGOs), pastors and imams to discuss awayforward for the residents in the vicinity ofthe Marble Flats, Ottery.Chairperson of Carola Neighbourhood
Watch Neil Jacobus says he is glad a forumwas appointed to tackle crime issues in thecommunity.“The community has been caught in the
grips of a gang war recently. Shootings arebecoming too frequent and something need-ed to be done,” he says.Jacobus adds the presence of such a fo-
rum in the community is vital to join thefight against crime.“Residents need to see that something is
happening to consider their safety. We canonly hopemore people come forward to jointhis platform to become proactive in thefight against crime,” Jacobus says.Resident Rachel Leonard says she is de-
lighted to hear about the forum.“I’m glad to see something is being done
to try and stop these gangsters from com-pletely taking over our areas. If our commu-nity stands togetherwith this forumwewilldefinitely see positive results in no time,”she says. Leonard adds the gang war hasgotten so bad that she is afraid to leave her
house at times. “The shootings happen dur-ing broad daylight as well. Onemorning wewoke up to the news of a body that wasfound shot just a few metres away from myhome. It’s terrifying,” she says.Ward councillor Melanie Arendse says
she hopes the crime forum will be the startof something big in the community.“The group of community leaders who
came out for the meeting addressed exactlywhere it is that we all fit in with regard tothe ongoing gangwar.Wewant to take own-ership of our communities again and canonly do so if we step up to the plate of beingleaders,” Arendse says.She says the forumwill tackle issues such
as assisting the youth to become involvedwithmore positive activities in the commu-nity.“We want to deter [them] from becoming
involved with gangs.We all know the youthare painted a rosy picture about being in agang so as to recruit them froma young age.We want this to stop,” Arendse stresses.She adds priority is given to the children
of the community as they are the most vul-nerable.“Our children need to grow up in safe en-
vironments and they are our first priority.We’re not saying the life of a child is moreimportant than the life of an adult. It is tostress how easily our children fall victim togang violence. This can be by means of astray bullet or the child ending up being in-volved with gangs and drugs which is whatwe don’t want,” she says.V What are your thoughts?

A heavy stench hangs in the air as Peli-can Park residents battle a fly and buginfestation.
Residents say the problem is caused notjust by the vlei, as persisten dumping andexcrement litter the open patches of grass.Mymoena Arend, who has been living in
the area for more than 20 years, believes thesituation is the worst it has ever been.“When I looked out of my door on Sunday,
I got the biggest shock ofmy life. This is hor-rific and I can’t believe people are doingthis,” she says.Soiled nappies, plastic sheets, builders
rubble and broken beer bottles are some ofthe debris contributing to the stench andfilth.Arend says she has seen cars pull up next
to the open fields to dump black refuse bagson the grass.“I call this a hotspot. This place is so beau-
tiful,” she says, “but they come and dumphere.”Other residents comment that the dump-
ing causes flies and rodents to invade theirhomes and that the broken glass is a fire andinjury hazard to the childrenwho live there.
Arend says she has laid several com-plaints with the City of Cape Town and still“little has been done to remove the eyesore”.“I have reference numbers dating back to
2012. They take their own time to come tothe site and when they do arrive they leavea job half done,” Arend claims.Mayoral Committee Member for Utility
Services Ernest Sonnenberg says all refer-ence numbers were attended to and com-plaints about the dumping have been noted.“Themaximum time it should take to deal
with heavy or large illegal dumping that hasbeen reported to the City is 30 days. The Cityis confronted with widespread illegal dump-ing across the entire metro throughout theyear and attends to clearing it as frequentlyas resources allow,” Sonnenberg says.He adds not all cases of illegal dumping
can be treated the same way.“The nature of the dumped materials,
such as bulky garagewaste, builders’ rubbleand furniture dictate what is needed in or-der to clear the land. In the case of bulkywaste, special mechanised equipment isneeded and theCity has to, as far as possible,work to a schedule to ensure all areas areattended to fairly,” he adds.Areas most affected are the field behind
Loerie and Nightingale roads.
Arend says the last time the place wascleared was in April and is very disturbedthat thir complaints are falling on deaf ears.Sonnenberg confirms the City is only re-
sponsible for cleaning property belonging tothem.“If the dumping is on open public land and
not owned privately ormanaged by other de-partments, the City’s Department of SolidWaste Management is responsible for clean-ing. If it is managed by another departmentit is the responsibility of that department toclean it,” Sonnenberg says.Parks, for example, is the property of the
Parks Department and they will clean them,he says. Similarly as a sports field is cleanedby the sport, recreation and amenities de-partment.Earlier this year, mayor Patricia De Lille
launched a multi-faceted illegal dumpingcampaign that aims to create awareness ofthe losses and damages that all residents suf-fer as a result of this scourge.The City’s safety and security directorate
will also be clamping down on illegal dump-ers and issuing fines as part of the campaign.According to the City, at present, incidentsof illegal dumping are under-reported andcommunities are encouraged to work to-gether to change that.“Ultimately, the maintenance of clear,
clean spaces is in the hands of the communi-ty and we need all residents to work with usto ensure these areas remain clear,” Sonnen-berg says.V Report illegal dumping to the City of Cape Town’scall centre on 0860 103 089.
Mops, bottles, nappies, broken glass andbuilder’s rubble are just some of the itemsstrewn across the open patches of Nightingaleand Loerie roads. Residents blame theirneighbours for the unsightly mess.

@ChevonBooysen
Recent shootings in Cafda Villagehave residents fearing for theirlives.
Caught in themidst of a gangwar, resi-dents say they feel they are being heldhostage by gun-wielding gangsters in thearea.One resident, speaking on condition of
anonymity for fear of victimisation, saysshe no longer knows what to do to staysafe.“Gunshots fire off at random times of
the day and we live in fear all the time.Rival gangs shoot without considerationfor innocent bystanders,” says the terri-fied woman.She has two children who walk to
school every day and she fears the worstuntil they return home.“Every day when I leave home I worry
thatmychildrenwon’tmake it homeduetoa straybullet hitting them. It’s notniceliving like this at all. Something needsto be done to stop this madness,” shesays.Another resident, who also does not
want to be named, says he travels towork in fear every day.“I use the taxi to get to work and re-
cently I have been scared to even setfoot outside the house. These gangstersdon’t care whose lives they are endan-gering with their stupid gang wars,” hesays.He adds he lost a family member to a
stray bullet shot during a gangwar yearsago.“Losing a loved one as a result of negli-
gence and inconsideration of gang mem-bers is unnecessary. And now being inthe grips of another gang war brings upall those memories. These gangs don’tknow the trauma they leave familieswith,” he says.According to the resident, he wants
the community to stand up against thegangs and take back their communities.“It is useless to sit back and complain
all the time. We need to be proactive incurbing crime in our communities. Butpeople should learn to speakout and takea stand otherwise this chaoswill contin-ue,” he adds.Ward councillor Shanen Rossouw
agreeswith these sentiments, saying shewants the community to stand togetherin the fight against crime.“These shootings have become more
frequent over the past few weeks andsomething drastic needs to be done,”Rossouw says.In a bid to stamp out crime in the area,
a crime forum group was established inCafda Village, Rossouw adds.“This forum envisions to have weekly
meetings with residents to address theircrime concerns. Following every meet-ing there will be feedback sessions to thecommunity with possible solutions,”Rossouw concludes.V What are your thoughts on the war on crime?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your views to32516. SMSes cost R1.

Your SMSesSpeedingI fully agreewith the complaints of the res-
idents of my area. I am a resident of SeventhAvenue, Lotus River, between Buck andZeekoe roads andwe have the same problemwith speeding cars.My catwas run over by a speeding vehicle.
If we had speed humps it could have beenavoided. High traffic volume starts in themorning and late afternoon from 16:00, soavoid Fifth Avenue. Please consider speedhumps for our area.. I totally agree with the idea of havingspeed humps in Henley Road. The samething is happening every day in Kudu Ave-nue, Lotus River. It is also used as a shortcut via Strandfontein Road. Fifth Avenueresidents have been requesting help fromthe City of Cape Town before and nothingseems to be done.. Klip Road is too busy for speed humps.Consider speed cameras. Hit them where ithurts – the wallet.. About time, too. Somebody needs to stopthe recklessness and speed freaks travellingalong the Main Road.. Ourdrivers are out of control and our chil-dren suffer as a direct result. – Carol. Traffic calming measures on School Waywill not help . These lawless taxi driverswillfind a new short cut through SquareHill. OnMonday (26 January) about 08:00 , a speedingtaxi smashed into a microbus on the cornerof Allenby Drive and Boundary Road. Bothvehicles mounted the pavement, knockeddown a 20m concrete lamp post and proceed-ed further across the pavement into a 1.8mhigh vibracrete wall.It was gut wrenching to listen to the painfulwailing of the injured passengers. Taxis gospeeding down Boundary Road at highspeeds between 06:00 and 08:00 every day.Soon one of these accidentswill be fatal. Andovertaking, too. Stop this nonsense now be-fore it is too late.. I fully support the call to slow down speed-sters. Accident rates will drop, I am sureabout that. They also need to start tacklingthe breakdown services as it really does notlook like the vans are roadworthy. And theway they drive is ridiculous, chasing and al-most driving people off the streets. We alsoneed more officials on the road. Too manyroad users jumping red lights. – Nicole
‘Double standards’ at beachWe visited four beaches during our15-day stay in Cape Town: Camps Bay,Seaforth, Fish Hoek and Mnandi. Whatbothered me the most was the doublestandards applied when it comes to howyou get treated at these beaches.Camps Bay was our first stop for a dip
in the ocean. With our cooler box, towelsand sunscreen lotion we were lucky toget one of those beautiful blue umbrellas.The day was world class in terms ofamenities.New Year’s Day we went with the
extended family to Mnandi Beach, as wewere assured it had been “upgraded”. Iwas amazed that the place had noparking for disabled persons near thepool.Imagine my horror when a law en-
forcement officer decides that the samecooler box [used at] Camps Bay must besearched. I refused as it contained myfood and I was not sure how clean hishands were.On what did he base the decision to
search my cooler box? It did not happenonce at Camps Bay.I informed him if he can come with
clean hands and food safety gloves, mycooler box is all his.I am back in Johannesburg, and I’m
still waiting for him.The straw that broke the camel’s back
was having to witness elderly people,including my dad, stripped of theirdignity when they had to relieve them-selves behind cars and dunes as someonehad decided there was no urgency toopen the public toilets.After several requests, it was finally
opened at 11:30.It made sense why it was kept locked.
It was filthy and vandalised. This wasthe site that greeted everyone who didnot want to be fined for relieving them-selves behind cars and dunes.I am not for one moment crying racism
or any similar overused words, as thecleanliness of Cape Town is what weshould strive for.Why are the same world class stan-
dards at Camps Bay, Fish Hoek andSeaforth beaches not applied at MnandiBeach? Why search people and their
property at Mnandi, and not at CampsBay or Fish Hoek beaches?
ANONYMOUS,
Belinda Walker, Mayoral CommitteeMember for Community Services andSpecial Projects, responds: The Citydoes not wish to apply double standardsin terms of how any of our facilities arerun; rather, we aim to ensure that allour facilities are welcoming, inclusiveand safe spaces for the public to enjoy.The writer’s concerns were fully
investigated by both the manager forCoastal Coordination and the director ofSport, Recreation and Amenities (SRA).Given that 31 December is New Year’s
Eve and with peak season there is likelyto be a swathe of beach-goers accessingour facilities, the City makes every effortto ensure our facilities are well-preparedand in a clean, tidy condition. Ablutionsat beaches are open from 09:00 to 18:00and these amenities are serviced daily bydedicated cleaning staff throughout theday. During the Christmas and New Yearperiod, staff gave assurance the ablutionsat Mnandi beach were open on time.The Coastal Coordination manager did
not receive any complaints about theablutions being closed nor any com-plaints about their condition. In suchinstances, updates and reports areprovided by the Disaster Risk Manage-ment Centre straight away and giventhat SRA did not receive any complaints,this letter came as a surprise. Neverthe-less, we sincerely apologise for anynegative experience that the writer mayhave had.. Richard Bosman, of the City’s safetyand security directorate, responds:With regard to searches done on beaches,the City’s bylaws prohibit the introduc-tion, possession and consumption ofalcohol on beaches. In spite of this, manypeople contravene regulations – oftenwith devastating consequences. Over thepast festive season, staff confiscated11 570 bottles of alcohol from the beaches– an increase of 3200 bottles comparedwith the previous year.Law enforcement staff conduct searches
at all beaches.
The streets of Cape Town can be a cold and hard placefor the homeless.Probably the city’smost vulnerable group, street people
are old friends with hunger, addiction, abuse and illness.Yet we are told not to encourage homelessness.We are advised to report street people, refrain from giv-
ing directly to them and leave their fates in the hands ofthe municipality and night shelters.Because to not do this is to be “irresponsible”.This would make for an admirable plan, if those very
authorities were capable of assisting street people in linewith the promises they make.The City of Cape Town recently stated its Early Child-
hood Development Directorate had assisted 150 homelesspeople off the street over a three-month period, endingin December.At this rate, the City is assisting less homeless people
each month than it has fieldworkers.There are about 9000 people living on the street.If even a third of these street people wanted assistance,
it would take the City’s 64 fieldworkers and 13 reintegra-tion officers five years to relocate them from the city’sstreets.Nevermind the scores of peoplemigrating to the streets
daily.This is despite the City receiving assistance from a
number city improvement districts across the metrowhich have incorporated fieldworkers and rehabilitationprogrammes into their mandate.This service is borne out of care for one’s fellow man,
not legislation.One could by all means ‘give responsibly’ and leave as-
sisting street people to the municipality – if only one feltthose very authorities cared for their residents, bothhoused and living on the street.Real action is needed.
