At the Rondevlei Subcouncil meeting held on Thursday 19 March, ward councillor Les- lie Isaacs put in the motion due to rising crime and safety concerns. Isaacs says the footbridges along the Big Lotus and Little Lotus canals were con- structed for easy access to residents and also to support important infrastructure. “The residents of Lotus River have brought forward many complaints about certain bridges in the area. Closing them off would be in the interest of their safety,” he says. Isaacs says they have pointed out 12 foot- bridges in the area that have proven to be problem areas. Eight of these bridges are sit- uated along the Lotus canal and the remain- ing four is situated along Big Lotus. According to Isaacs the footbridges have become a concern to residents as they say “socially ill activities” take place at the iden- tified footbridges. “The community has raised its concerns at every opportunity to request the removal of some of these footbridges. It has been found that criminals use these bridges as an easy getaway route. Residents have even no- ticed prostitution activity taking place there,” Isaacs adds. Added to these concerns, residents say the bridges are used for bunking by pupils. “There is a huge concern when it comes to pupils using these bridges during the day. It has been noticed on a few occasions that they use the bridges as hideouts while they play truant.” Isaacs says when complaints were re- ceived at his office, residents pointed out that many of the footbridges had missing hand railings as well. “When children and the elderly use these bridges, they risk falling in because there are no safety measures. We need to make their safety a priority in this regard as well,” Isaacs says. Due to the safety and security concerns, Isaacs says he has approached the police to increase their visibility in these areas. “I requested that the police conduct regu- lar patrols at these problem bridges. Howev- er, it seems these patrols are making no im- pact because the activity still continues.” In an attempt to speed up the process to have the footbridges closed, residents signed a petition calling for their closure.

Daylight robberies, loitering and va-grancyhave sparked themotion for theclosure of certain bridges in Lotus Riv-
er.At the Rondevlei Subcouncil meeting held

A woman with a physical disability hasnot given up her own fight to ensurepeople living with disabilities have a
right to decent employment.Undere Deglon, CEO of Disability Work-
shop Development Enterprise (DWDE),works closely with a number of companiesin the private sector that are committed toemploying people with disabilities.The Institute for Promotion of Disabled
Manpower, in partnership with WesternCape Network on Disability, held a summitat the Cape Town International ConventionCentre (CTICC) on Friday 13 February.Sinawe Pezi, deputy CEO of DWDE, ex-
plained through education, empowermentand networking opportunities between em-ployers and people with disabilities, the or-ganisation’s Employment Support Servicesmakes a significant contribution towardsenriching lives, building an inclusive socie-ty and inspiring young people on their waytowards finding opportunities for work.The DWDE launched the Employment
Support Services in 2013 across SouthAfrica
with an associated target employment of1200 people with disabilities in the open la-bour market.Pezi says the 2%employment campaign is
a partnership between DWDE, the JobsFund, administered by the DevelopmentBank of Southern Africa and the United Na-tions Special Rapporteur on Disability.“We seek to create awareness among em-
ployers about the employability of people
with disabilities and to give people with dis-abilities exposure to employment opportu-nities and guide them in the right careerchoices,” she says.During the Disability Employment Sum-
mit, the organisation presented an over-view of an employment creation campaign.It was revealed at the summit that the pri-
vate sector is well on its way to meeting the2%quota set out by government, while someare exceeding expectation.Pezi says many South Africans with disa-
bilities desperately require an increase injob creation initiatives to overcome the un-employment problem.“Unemployment is the root cause of pover-
ty and inequality, and can be a contributingfactor to substance abuse, increased levelsof crime and social exclusion,” she says.Pezi says according to Statistics South Af-
rica Census 2011, there are just over twomil-lion (7.54%) people with disabilities, exclud-ing certain groups and children youngerthan five, compared to people without disa-bilities which total just over 35 million(92.46%).“On the other hand, the Commission for
Employment Equity Annual Report2013/2014, reporting on employment equityprogress among designated employers, not-ed after 15 years there are only about 50 000(0.9%) people with disabilities in employ-ment,” she says.This is miles away from the target of 2%
employment of persons with disabilities setby the government, Pezi explains.“The Employment Equity Act in SouthAf-
rica was intended to eliminate discrimina-tion in employment by developing a labourforce that is broadly representative of theSouth African population,” she says.However, Pezi says, many unemployed
SouthAfricanswith disabilities remain con-demned to a life of dependence on disabilitygrants.“Wewould like to partnerwith the private
sector and government institutions to assistthem with achieving their 2% quota,” sheurges.Pezi adds that SouthAfricawill have a dis-
ability census in 2015 which will hopeful-ly show an accurate profile and preva-lence of all disability types in South Afri-ca.“Both internationally and locally, there
aredifficulties inobtainingaccurate disabil-ity statistics,” she says.

An application for extended liquorhours at a popular night club has beenapproved.
The liquor license application for Swing-ers Pub and Restaurant was received by theRondevlei subcouncil for approval and fol-lowing a decision by all present, the exten-sion of liquor trading hours was approved.According to Rondevlei Subcouncil man-
ager OkkieManuels the applicationwas ap-proved at the last meeting.“Although details are not yet published
online due to the capturing process, I canconfirm the application for extension of li-quor trading hours at Swingers was ap-proved.”The pub, situated on Wetwyn Road in
Wetton, currently has on-consumptionhours between 11:00 and 04:00whichwas ap-proved during July last year.In the motivation to extend these hours,
business owner Kevin Harris says the ven-ue is recognised as a “premier jazz venue.”“It has become a popular tourist attrac-
tion for tourists as well as for locals. It isalso a popular venue for tour guides whoshuttle tourists and have a late-night drinkafter work,” he says.He adds the venue has been known to op-
erate after hours.“Swingers has been known to operate as
an after-hours business for the past 12years. The establishment has a valid liquorlicense as well as a valid gaming license,”he adds.The application went through the pre-
scribed public participation process andwas also handed to ward councillor Mont-
gomery Oliver who had no objections.Wetton resident Theo Harper says he has
no problem with the establishment operat-ing for longer.“The pub is situated in an industrial area,
which means they are not disturbing any-body. They have provided entertainment inthe area for a very long time so it is onlyfair they are given the chance to boost theirbusiness with the extended hours,” Harpersays. “Swingers has been around for morethan 10 years in the area. Personally I ha-ven’t had any negative experiences at theplace.”Another resident, who requested to re-
main anonymous, says even though the es-tablishment may not be in a residential ar-ea, it could still infringe on other residents.“The pub is just opposite a residential ar-
ea. Even though it may be separated by amain road, you canhearwhenrowdypeopleleave the club anyway,” she says.She adds thiswill not be the only concern.“Fact of the matter is with the extension
of liquor trading hours people will drinkmore. There are some irresponsible peoplewho get in their cars and drive after a nightout,” she says.“If one place applies for extended trading
hours in no time we will have establish-ments running all through the night serv-ing alcohol. This will be disastrous.”V What are your thoughts on liquor licence approvalsfor pubs? Starting with the word “Post”, SMS yourviews to 32516. SMSes cost R1.
Grid upgrades to benefit suburbsMaitland and Kensington are set to bene-fit from The City of Cape Town’s electrici-ty infrastructure upgrade.Other areas thatwill benefit includeGu-
gulethu, Stikland, Brackenfell, Kuils Riv-er and Durbanville.As such, five capital projects aiming to
improve distribution capacity and relia-bility are currently being implemented,and are on schedule for completion beforethe end of the 2014/’15 financial year.The biggest capital outlay was required
by Phase 2 of the Koeberg Road switchingstation upgrade. This upgrade will pro-vide additional reinforcement to theCity’s 132 kV network, which forms thebackbone of the electrical network.This project came in at a cost of R137 245
797 and improves the reliability of supplywithin the western portion of the city byreplacing ageing infrastructure and pro-viding greater transfer capacities withinthe 132 kV backbone.“The current situation at Eskom dem-
onstrates the consequences that poor as-set management can have on an electrici-ty network. Ensuring that infrastructureis refurbished or replaced before it be-comes unreliable is crucial to securingelectricity supply for our customers,’ said
the City’s Mayoral Committee Memberfor Utility Services, Ernest Sonnenberg.“Planningnowso that there is sufficient
capacity to meet demand is very impor-tant if wewant the city’s economy to growoptimally. It is not only important to se-cure the power supply for commercial andindustrial expansion, as is the aim in Sti-kland, but also to provide capacity for sub-sidised housing developments, as is theaim in Gugulethu.“Themajority of the capacity created by
the Gugulethu main station upgrade willbe filled by subsidised housing develop-ments, empowering those who were eco-nomically marginalised by the apartheidsystem.The City’s Electricity Services Depart-
ment, was recently recognised when itwas awarded the highly prestigious ISO55000 certification – with the departmentbeing the first entity in South Africa andthe second across the continent to beawarded this recognition.ISO 55000 is an international accredita-
tion for asset management best practice,and serves as confirmation that the City’selectricity assets are managed in accord-ance with the highest possible standardsglobally.

ZEEKOEVLEI
Tea time reservedCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The proposal to use a facility at the Ron-devlei Nature Reserve as a tea roomhas been approved.
This decision came at the South Peninsu-la Subcouncil meeting on Monday 16March.The nature reserve will now use a vacant
facility on the property as a tea and functionroom.The facility was vacant for some time. It
was previously used as a tea room but wasno longer being used for that purpose.In a report, it states that the Friends of
Zeekoevlei and the False Bay Nature Re-servehave gone about amanagement agree-ment to “further the relationship betweenthe parties by enabling the Friends of Zeek-oevlei to operate the tea and functionroom”.“This will increase the utilisation of the
nature reserve and supports local economicdevelopment,” the report states.
The Friends of Zeekoevlei will be usingthe facility to provide a tea room service forvisitors to theRondevlei section of theFalseBay Nature Reserve.“The facility will be used for the purpose
of hosting events and beverages to be soldat the facility during agreed hours,”contin-ues the report.“The Friends of Zeekoevleiwill also be re-
sponsible for the provision of food and bev-erages to be sold at the facility as well asother aspects relating to the operationof thetea room and the events or functions thatmay be held there.”The Friends of Zeekoevlei will also not be
financially implied for the use of the facility“provided they are an NPO whose constitu-tion is aimed at supporting the False BayNature Reserve”.According to the Friends of Zeekoevlei,
the tea room operation is striving to be asenvironmentally responsible as possible, isintending to minimise the use of packagingand use biodegradable packaging, wherepossible.

Electricity ‘thieving’ problemCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Phumlani Village residents are riskinglife and limb to illegally connect elec-tricity.
Ward councillor ShaunAugust has raisedconcern over residents in the informal set-tlement connecting their electricity illegal-ly after they found a way to bypass the elec-tricity boxes.People’s Post previously reported on the
electrification of Phumlani Village whereelectricity was supplied to 200 residents(“Switching on the lights – at last”, 24 April2014).
August says he visited the area a fewmonths ago when he noticed the worryingtrend. “While I was doing a site visit I sawsome residents were able to connect their
house supply straight to the main electrici-ty supply in their roads. Theymanaged thisby connecting it to the supposed greytamper-free electricity kiosks in theirroads,” he says.
“These residents should be paying fortheir pre-paid electricity, but due to the ille-gal connections they are now basically get-ting free electricity supply to their homes.It is a health and safety risk,” August adds.
Mayoral Committee Member for UtilityServices Ernest Sonnenberg says theamount of money that is lost due to illegalelectricity connections totalled up to R250mfor the 2014/2015 financial year.
Residents are encouraged to report illegalconnections to 086 010 3089 or by sending anSMS to 31220.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Water shortageCape Town’s fresh water supply is under
major threat and according to the De-partment of Water and Sanitation most
analysts predict South Africa’s water de-mand will outstrip its supply by 2025.
Already the demand for water has over-taken supply in 60% of South Africa’s watermanagement systems.
However, according to water scientists,changing our everyday behaviour can helpto alleviate the pressure put on our reservesdue to climate change, pollution and outdat-ed infrastructure.
During National Water Week, Monday 16to Sunday 22 March, theWatershed Festivalaimed to restore the public’s appreciation ofclean and accessible drinking water, re-minding them of its worth, scarcity and theabsence of a substitute.
The festival saw free educational eventsheld across the city, including an outdoorscreening of two award-winning documen-tary feature films depicting water in all its
beauty at Green Point Urban Park.TheWatershed Festival looks to create in-
creased awareness of the Cape and SouthAf-rica’s water crisis. With dams currently at69% capacity, all it will take to literally runon empty is a few consecutive winters withless than expected rainfall thanks to climatechange.
And 40% of our waste water treatment fa-cilities are in a critical state and in need ofan upgrade, having outlived their 30-yearlifespan by a decade or so.
South Africa loses 37% of clean, drinkablewater through leaking pipes and drippingtaps every year, while increasing pollutiondue to rapidly expanding urban areas and il-legal dumping add to the crisis.V Win! Win! Win! Five readers stand a chance towin a Woolworth’s hamper of WLAB washing

As part oftheWatershedFestival,freeeducationalevents,such asdocumen-taryscreenings,took placeacross thecity.
Despite the chilly air, the event offeredJerome Cornelius and Wendyl Martin insightinto the dilemma over water.
Families were treated to documentariesdepicting the beauty of water.

Allergy alert raisedIf you are wondering why your allergy isgetting worse, it is most probably becauseof the recent fires in the area.According to a leading supplier of allergy
medication, nasal allergies can be muchworse, especially among those living in
Muizenberg, Hout Bay, Noordhoek and Stel-lenbosch where blazes were the most ram-pant.Allergy sufferers are being warned to stay
indoors and limit exercise to minimise therisk of their allergies being triggered by the
high levels of particulate matter in thesmoky air.Mariska van Aswegen, spokesperson for
the company, says veld fires can intensify al-lergy symptoms by up to 11%.“Even if you can’t see or smell the smoke
from the fires, the body may still respond toparticulatematter, which ismade up ofmin-uscule particles or droplets of pollution inthe air that are inhaled,” she says.Van Aswegen says this week’s fires may
also play a part in increasing hospital trafficby putting more allergens in the air. “Any
exposure to any kind of smoke to those withunderlying allergy conditions can causeproblems and make them more susceptibleto respiratory infections.“Smoke is an environmental allergen that
contains particles which can irritate thelungs, throat and eyes, triggering symptomslike difficulty with breathing normally;wheezing; shortness of breath; runny nose,itching, nasal congestion and obstruction ofbreathing and coughing. Themost common-ly affected people are allergy sufferers, thevery young and the very old.”

ANNIVERSARY
Still strongSAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
Five and a half decades later, they arecloser than ever before.
Celebrating their 55th wedding anni-versary, a Pelican Park couple attribute thesuccess of their marriage to always puttingGod first and being together.
Jock and Catherine met in 1959 at aChurch function in Woodstock.
One year later at the ages of 18 and 21 theywere married.
“He was interested in my sister, but shewas older than him and wasn’t interested.That is when he saw me and we startedcourting,” Catherine says.
With time the couple have grown closertogether.
“We are more loving and care for eachother,” she adds.
They both still fondly remember the jour-ney they have taken over the past five dec-ades.
They started their love story in Salt Riverwhere they met and attended church servi-ces at the Salt River Apostolic Faith Mis-sion.
Following the implementation of theGroup Area’s Act, the couple discoveredJock was of Indian decent.
“We didn’t know he was Indian, and be-cause of that we were moved from Wood-stock to Gatesville,” says Catherine.
At the time Jock was a truck driver.Catherine says she often travelled with
him up country and kept him awake bysinging to him.
They lived in their home for 10 years be-foremoving to PelicanParkwhere they stillreside.
The couple attribute the success of theirmarriage to always making time for eachother and putting God first.
Catherine is still active and often preach-es to groups visiting from other countries.
Jock, a man a very few words, says a hap-py wife means a happy life.
“I always spent time with her and gaveher everything she wanted. Youmust listento your wife and please her,” Jock advises.
The couple celebrated their 55thWeddinganniversary on Thursday 12 March.
The marriage was blessed with eightchildren, four of whom have alreadypassed.
Jock and Catherine Mackenzie have fond memories of their romance and life together.Catherine says that as you get older you grow closer together. PHOTO: SAMANTHA LEE

Grid upgrades to benefit suburbsMaitland and Kensington are set to benefitfrom The City of Cape Town’s electricity in-frastructure upgrade.Other areas that will benefit include Gu-
gulethu, Stikland, Brackenfell, Kuils Riverand Durbanville.As such, five capital projects aiming to
improve distribution capacity and reliabili-ty are currently being implemented, andare on schedule for completion before theend of the 2014/’15 financial year.The biggest capital outlay was required
by Phase 2 of the Koeberg Road switchingstation upgrade. This upgrade will provideadditional reinforcement to the City’s 132kV network, which forms the backbone ofthe electrical network.This project came in at a cost of R137 245
797 and improves the reliability of supplywithin the western portion of the city by re-placing ageing infrastructure and provid-ing greater transfer capacities within the132 kV backbone. “The current situation atEskomdemonstrates the consequences thatpoor assetmanagement canhave on an elec-tricity network. Ensuring that infrastruc-ture is refurbished or replaced before it be-comes unreliable is crucial to securing elec-tricity supply for our customers,’ said the
City’sMayoral CommitteeMember for Util-ity Services, Ernest Sonnenberg.“Planning now so that there is sufficient
capacity to meet demand is very importantif we want the city’s economy to grow opti-mally. It is not only important to secure thepower supply for commercial and industri-al expansion, as is the aim in Stikland, butalso to provide capacity for subsidisedhousing developments, as is the aim in Gu-gulethu.“The majority of the capacity created by
the Gugulethumain station upgradewill befilled by subsidised housing developments,empowering those who were economicallymarginalised by the apartheid system.The City’s Electricity Services Depart-
ment, was recently recognised when it wasawarded the highly prestigious ISO 55000certification – with the department beingthe first entity in South Africa and the sec-ond across the continent to be awarded thisrecognition.ISO 55000 is an international accredita-
tion for asset management best practice,and serves as confirmation that the City’selectricity assets are managed in accord-ance with the highest possible standardsglobally.
Title deed backlogs addressed
The City of Cape Town is making goodprogress in clearing backlogs pertain-ing tohistoric title deeds, somestretch-
ing as far back as 30 years.According to a statement, efforts to ac-
tively speed up the transfer of these titledeeds are yielding results and more thanhalf of the total backlog identified in 2012has already been eliminated.At the end of January, more than 13 700
historic title deeds have been transferred topreviously disadvantaged beneficiariessince 2012. This has been the result of amas-sive effort by the City’s human settlementsdirectorate. These transfers pertained to
older housing projects that had previouslybeen hampered from finalisation by intri-cate and complex processes, including le-gal, conveyancingandother factors, suchasthe missing particulars of a beneficiary.“In early 2012, the City embarked on a
project, which is still ongoing, to make per-manent staff and resources available to ad-dress historical transfer backlogs, wherethese could be completed,” said maycomember for human settlements, Benedictavan Minnen.Each case has to be addressed individual-
ly, but could involvea combinationof differ-ent challenges..

TYRE SAFETY
Listen to your tyresA well-known countrywide tyre retailer
is challenging motorists to do sometread investigation to determine exact-
ly what your tyre tread wear is telling you.“Everything you need to know about
what’s going on with your wheel alignmentor balancing, tyre pressure and even yourshocks, is imprinted on your tyres. The trickis knowing how to read these clues,” says,Joe duPlooy, GroupMarketingExecutive ina press release.Here are some hints from the tyre experts
on what your tread is telling you:. Worn inner or outer edges, also known
as “toe wear.” This could be an indicator ofa problemwith your wheel alignment. Have
it checked right away.. Wear on both the inner and outer edges.
Your tyres are likely underinflated. Inflatethem right away and have them checked forleaks.
. Wear down in the middle of the tyrecould mean your tyres are overinflated.Check the manufacturer’s recommenda-tions for your tyres and stick with the pres-sure indicated.
. Random bald spots. This could be fromexcessive breaking or skidding and could al-so be a sign that your shocks are worn orwheels are seriously out of balance. Eitherway, you shouldhave it seen to immediately.
.Cupping or scalloping. If you can see the
signs of diagonal tread wear on your tyres,you should know this is a serious problemthat could be the result of worn shocks oreven a failing suspension. Have it checkedright away.“When it comes to getting the safest, long-
est use from your tyres, prevention is better(andcheaper) thancure,” saysDuPlooy. “Byregularly inflating your tyres to the manu-facturer’s recommended pressure, checkingyour wheel balancing and alignment, rotat-ing your tyres every 10 000 km or every timeyouhit an obstacle andmaintaining your ve-hicle’s suspension, you can enjoy manymore kilometers of safe driving than youmight otherwise.” Be sure not to drive your car with worn tyres.

MODEL UPDATE
Auris getsnew lookThe Toyota Auris range as shown at the
Geneva Motor Show earlier thismonth, has been extensively revised
for 2015 to increaseits appeal to a wid-er range of custom-ers.According to a
press release byTo-yota South Africa,the refreshed exte-rior and interiorstyling is the corechange.In the cabin, the
focus is on higherlevels of sensoryquality, using pre-mium qualitytrims and finishes. Additional measures toreduce NVH levels have been taken and de-tail adjustments to steering and suspensionhave improved handling, comfort and driv-er involvement. The local engine line-up re-mains as is with both hybrid and normally-aspirated petrol powered options.The big news is the refreshed exterior
styling presents a new-look front and rear,givingAuris amore prestigious and sophis-ticated road presence.In profile the new styling generates
longer overhangs, improving the overallbalance of the design and leading the eyein a sweeping line from the frontToyota em-blem to the rear lamp cluster. A new shark
fin roof antenna and 16 and 17-inch alloywheel designs add further impact.To the rear, the lower half of the car has
been complete-ly redesigned.Thewidth of thedeeper, moremuscularbumper designis amplified bythe location ofreflector lamphousings at thefurthest edgesand by a thinchrome trimline. The rearlamp clustersuse LED light
guide technology, giving Auris its own, dis-tinctive lighting signature.Onboard, the sensory quality of the cabin
has been significantly raised with a rede-signed dashboard, upgraded quality trimsand surface finishes as well as a new4.2-inch colour TFT multi-informationscreen (on all hybrids and higher grademodels). The driver’s instrument binnaclehas a stronger, more sporting design withdeep-dished tachometer and speedometerdials either side of a new screen.The 2015 Auris range further benefits
from suspension and steering revisions toimprove ride comfort, handling and driverinvolvement.
The Toyota Auris has beenextensively revised for 2015 andwill launch later this year in SouthAfrica. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

Your SMSesTaxisI have been travelling by taxi to and
from work down De Wet Road. At theend of February I was in a taxi theseyoung gangsters targeted. The taxistopped at Daniel Avenue and peoplegot out. Suddenly the taxi was sur-rounded by young boys aged 14 and15. One small boy got into the taxi andwanted to grab a woman’s bag. Thedetermination these guys had was toogood to be true. I am forced now totake a bus home as I cannot put mylife in such danger.
. Why must the taxi drivers pay fortheir safety? The police are not doingtheir job right. During the day it is
not safe. People don’t want to use ourtaxi.
General. City of Cape Town: our streets
need pavements. The DivisionalCouncil is long gone where we had tolive with gravel roads and no pave-ments. Look around nearby oursportsfields. It is an eyesore forvisitors at the sportsfield as well asthe people driving to the RondevleiNature Reserve.
. The City should enforce stringentmeasures on people occupying proper-ty illegally, whether it is private orState-owned. We are taxpaying citizens
and should be protected by the law. Inthe case of problematic tenants, whatwe need is a bylaw, whereby ownersleasing out property is held responsi-ble to ensure that fellow citizens arenot being inconvenienced by tenantsin any way. If residents complain andowners fail to take up the problem,they should be fined or taken to courtby the City on behalf of the residents.If people are held accountable for theiractions, they will step up. We shoulddemand our rights, but be aware ofour responsibilities.

The Rhodes debateI have visited the Rhodes memorial onseveral occasions and have taken manyof my guests to view the beauty of CapeTown in all it splendour on warmwindless days.The views were always breathtaking. I
never for once bothered about thehistory of Cecil John Rhodes until therecent protest by the students of UCTover his statue.What was very worrying, was the
racially divisive nature of the protestsand the extremely acerbic tone of thedebates. I was prompted to research theman’s history to make sense of thisdivisive debate.I came across an excellent article
written by Mzubisi Qobo, the pastpresident of the student representativecouncil in 1996. The article appeared inBusiness Day on Friday 20 March.According to Qobo, Cecil J Rhodes
was infamously known for his “EveryMaster Wallop-his Nigger Bill”, whichgave white farmers the right to flogtheir black workers.He strongly opposed the idea of giving
blacks the right to “own land” in theirown country. He felt that they should be
kept in sub-human conditions in nativereserves.Qobo further states that Rhodes’
purported generosity to donate land forUCT and his residence for future primeministers was done so with plunderedmoney and to bribe the future not tojudge him harshly for his ugly past.I am sure many beneficiaries of the
Rhodes scholarship back in the early’50s and ’60s, who are his staunchsupporters and responsible for all thevitriol in the media against the protest-ers, were totally ignorant of the fact thatRhodes was an absolute racist.With the Rhodes ugly racist back-
ground, there should be no doubt thathis statue has absolutely no place in areputable university like the UCT oftoday. Like Hitler’s and other dictators’statues, Rhodes’ statue should be kept ina museum to remind civilised peoplethat the evil of one’s past will always beremembered by history.Rhodes’ statue occupies a space that
could and should be occupied by astatue of a person that could make theuniversity, its students and fellowCapetonians extremely proud of.
That person is Archbishop EmeritusDesmond Tutu, a world renowned figure,who so fearlessly devoted so much of hislife for the liberation of this countryfrom the terrible shackles of apartheid.This man is hugely responsible forprevailing upon black South Africans torenounce violence and forgive theiroppressor to build a rainbow nation.It was so heartening to hear Afrikaans
speakers in Ventersdorp welcoming theidea of reburying the remains of the lateJB Marks, the struggle leader, who diedin Moscow in 1972, in Ventersdorp tobring about racial harmony in a townthat was torn apart by the Terreblanche.If the residents of Ventersdorp can do
it, then it shouldn’t be too hard for theliberal-minded Capetonians of all racesto unite and replace the bad with thegood.In a free and democratic country such
as ours, centres of learning should havestatues and monuments of people thatcan inspire their pupils to be goodcitizens and not have statues of racistslike Rhodes, who treated black peoplewith absolute disdain.UCT vice-chancellor Max Price will be
remembered well by history for takingthe correct decision to remove thishurtful reminder of our sad past.
DR ELLAPEN RAPITIMitchell’s Plain
Poverty strickenand living inan informal settlement,thousands of shackdwellers are looking for a wayto raise their children in better conditions.
Topping the priority list is a home built with brickswhich does not flood every winter.Electricity without the dangers of an illegal connection
is a close second.Add to that clean running water which does not have
to be carried in a bucket from a tap several meters away.But often, the City of Cape Town’s alternatives given
to informal settlement dwellers come at far too high aprice – amove fromMaitland toMfuleni or from the CapeTown CBD to Strandfontein.Such moves will make it near impossible for these low-
income groups to keep their jobs or visit their families.And when informal settlement dwellers raise these is-
sues, they are often met with the immovable response:“Take it or leave it.”But the City is more than capable of bending over back-
wards for those they feel deserve it.Daily council makes concessions to big developers, al-
lowing them to build too close to the road or neighbouringboundary walls.These concessions see buildings springing up too high
on the mountain or at the expense of heritage fabric.The recipients of such concessions are often corpora-
tions worth millions, who give little back.Are they really the ones council should be giving con-
cessions to? Where is the pro-poor planning to comple-ment the City’s claims to pro-poor spending?Weneedholistic solutions that cover all sectors of socie-
ty, effective changes that reduce the incomegapandhous-ing proposals that go hand-in-hand with a sense of digni-ty.If council wants to give a developer a concession, let’s
see both of them hold out a helping hand first.

Chappies is still first-choice route for Two OceansAccording to the organisers of theOldMutu-al Two Oceans Ultra Marathon (OMTOM),Chapman’s Peak is still the preferred routefor this race.Following the devastating fires that raged
alongCapeTown’s SouthernPeninsula, cou-pled with the regular closure of Chapman’sPeakdue tohighwinds and threatening rockfalls, there has been a question mark overthe inclusion of Chappies in the OMTOMroute.The organisers of OMTOM are still hope-
ful that the Ultra Marathon will follow thenormal route, but stress that runners’ safetyremain a top priority in all planning.“We continue to be in close contact with
theCity of CapeTownDisasterManagementteam and other key role players, and keepa finger on the pulse of all developments af-
fecting our UltraMarathon route, especiallyChapman’s Peak,” says Carol Vosloo, gener-al manager of the Old Mutual Two OceansMarathon NPC.“Running the event over Chappies is our
first choice, butwith athlete safety being ourtop concern and with less than two weeks togo before the event, it is prudent to look atour alternative route as an option.”Ou Kaapse Weg is the official alternative
route for the OMTOM, andwas used for fouryears between 2000 and 2003, when Chap-man’s Peak was originally closed while thetunnels and rock fall catchment nets werebeing constructed.The distance of both routes of theOMTOM
are the same.“Weare fortunate tohave run theOMTOM
along our plan-B route for four years, and
that our team has the historic knowledgeand experience to make the necessary logis-tical changes to facilitate this, should it be-come necessary,” says Vosloo.The availability of route alternatives is
standard procedure for any mass-participa-tion event of this scale.The Ou Kaapse Weg detour route starts in
Main Road, Newlands, and takes runnersalong the scenic South Peninsula route,through Fish Hoek and into Kommetjie.But, instead of heading towards Chap-
man’s Peak, runners will turn towards andover Ou Kaapse Weg, from where they willrun along the leafy Spaanschemat RiverRoad. They will then join the half marathonrunners at the Ladies Mile / Parish Road in-tersection before heading onto SouthernCross Drive to follow the half marathon
route along Rhodes Drive and the M3 backto UCT.“We thank runners for their patience.
While we remain confident that the scenicChapman’s Peak route will stay in place, wehope that confirming the alternative planwill empower runners to prepare for the pos-sibility of a route change,” says Vosloo.“Again, we cannot stress enough that run-
ners’ safety is put first at all times duringour planning and decision making.”TheOldMutualTwoOceansUltra andhalf
marathons are scheduled to take place onEaster Saturday 4 April.Some27 000 runners are expected topartic-
ipate in the event that is globally known asthe world’s most beautiful marathon.For more information, visit www.twoo-

A teacher and a plumber from the South-ern Suburbs are making waves on theFlying Fish Beach Volleyball Series.
Antonio Rossouw (33) from Elfindale andDean Layters (22) from Ocean View, haveformed a beach volleyball partnership thatis taking on the big guns in the national Fly-ing Fish Beach Volleyball Series.The second tournament in the series took
place at the University of Cape Town (UCT)and Camps Bay over the past weekend.OnFriday after the first day’s round robin
matches, Rossouw and Layters had only lostone match and were second on the log, be-hind the first seeds and eventual winners ofthe tournament, Grant Goldschmidt andJerome Fredericks.“I started playing indoor volleyball in 1999
when I was still at school in Mitchell’sPlain,” says Rossouw, who is a teacher at StAnthony’s Roman Catholic Primary Schoolin Heathfield.He is married to Tercia, a former volley-
ball player and they have a daughter, Ju-liana (2).“The indoor season is very short andwhen
summer came, I hadno sport, so I progressedto beach volleyball,” he says.It is much the same for Layters, who is a
bachelor. “I also progressed from indoor vol-
leyball to beach volleyball to keep playingthe sport all year round,” he says.Rossouw stopped playing for some time,
but when he decided to play again he metLayters at the University of the WesternCape (UWC) where they were both playingand decided to form a team for the FlyingFish Beach Volleyball Series.“This (UCT) is only our second tourna-
ment together as a team, but we are develop-ing our style of playing and want to stay to-gether for the entire series,” says Rossouw.According to him, beach volleyball still
has a long way to go in South Africa beforethe majority of players can become profes-sional andmake a living out of it. “It is won-derful that Flying Fish sponsors this series,butweasplayers still hold a full-time jobandthe only waywewill be able tomake a livingas players, is to get personal sponsorships,”says Rossouw.Layters has his eye on the Olympics. “I
would love to represent our country at theOlympic Games in the not so distant future.“But it is going to take lots of hard work,”he says.“Dean and I regularly meet on the beach
where we practise our drills and do lots ofexercises andwealso go to gymoften toworkon our strength and do cardio-vascular exer-cises. It is hard work . . . but we love it,”Rossouw says.
