LIBRARY HALL
Shh . . . no weddings hereMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Literary teas, community-basedactivities and other events areoften held in library halls.
But due to inconsistency in whichevents are permitted in these halls,the City of Cape Town has proposeda new draft policy.The draft Library Hall Usage Poli-
cy is currently open for public par-ticipation.According to the policy these halls
are primarily for activities orga-nised by library staff.However, they are also rented to
the public or made available free ofcharge. In addition, businesses areable to hire hall facilities for a fee.Thepolicyproposal describeshow
the current lack of a policy is themain contributor to inconsistent de-
cision-making and disagreementswith individuals and groups wish-ing to make use of the halls.Belinda Walker, City mayoral
committee member for communityservices and special projects, sayswhile the halls are primarily for li-brary activities, they may be usedfor other purposes, except for social,religious or political purposes.She explains the primary purpose
of these halls is to host community-based activities and programmesthat complement the services of-fered by the library.“For example, many halls are
used as training venues and supportthe library’s goal of encouraginglifelong learning. The library andinformation services departmentwould like to prioritise this kind ofuse.”She further explains these halls
are often linked to and accessedthrough the library and are not de-signed for large gatherings or eventssuch as weddings.The policy also stipulates strict
guidelines regarding payment forthe use of these halls.Community organisations and in-
dividuals using the hall for commu-nity or cultural events will be al-lowed to use it for free.However, use of the hall must be
paid for when used for business orcommercial purposes. A tariff is al-so charged when a non-profit orga-nisation charges the public to attendtheir event in a hall.The draft policy is open for com-
ments until Thursday 30 April.V The draft policy is available at libraries andon www.capetown.gov.za. To comment,email [email protected] orfax 086 576 1398.

NEW HORIZONS
Don’t tempt thieves, warns WatchCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Residents of New Horizons have beenwarned to be very vigilant when leav-ing items in their cars, especiallywhen
parked outside.The New Horizons Neighbourhood Watch
has issued a stern warning to all motoristsin the area to ensure their safety and to notbecome victims of crime.This came after a meeting was held on
Thursday last week. Ralph Classen, neigh-bourhood watch chairperson, says theft outof cars has become prevalent in the area.
“We urge our residents to remain vigilantwhenparking their cars outside.Wehave re-ceived many complaints about theft out ofcars,” he says.According to Classen residents leave valu-
able items in their cars at night. “This servesas bait to an opportunistic criminal. Peopleshould always take their valuables out oftheir cars at night to ensure they do notmake themselves susceptible to crime,” headds.Classen says another issue that plagues
the area is the growing numbers of gang-sters. “The Six Bops are increasing in num-bers. They are even branding the area by
writing on walls and hanging around streetcorners,” he adds.Claasen says the neighbourhood watch’s
approach towards crime is to become morehands on.“We want drug dens and illegal shebeens
out of our area. They are adding to the socialills that have already gripped our communi-ty and we don’t need to add to it,” he says.The neighbourhood watch will search
wheelie bins and conduct random stop andsearches during patrols.Residents have also beenwarned to be vig-
ilant when walking early morning or atnight when coming from or going to work.
“Wehave received complaints of residentsandpupils being robbedalongStrandfonteinRoad.Wewill increase ourvisibility in theseareas as well.”The Watch is in dire need of equipment to
make its services more efficient. “We needtwo-way radios as well as branded bibs. Atthe moment members are wearing differentbibs and there is no uniformity,” Classenadds.V What are your thoughts?

Drugs found hiddenin sewerage pipeIn an effort to curb crime in the SouthPeninsula, law enforcement agenciesconductedoperations inLavenderHill
and Ottery on Tuesday last week.Various patrols and searches were
conducted focusing on crime preven-tion.The operation included the execution
of search warrants at known drug out-lets, high density patrols by the City ofCape Town’s gang enforcement teamsand individual searches and seizures.Law enforcement also focused on po-
tential problem buildings as well as ille-gal spaza shops and other outlets servingas fronts for criminal activity.A raid on a known drug house in Lav-
enderHill sawofficers firing four rubberrounds after the occupants refused thementry and tried to set several pit bulls onthe officers.Officers eventually broke the lock
with a crowbar to gain entry to the prem-ises and found a makeshift dagga-grow-ing laboratory, an unconfirmedamount of money, as well as hundreds ofplastic packets used for packagingdrugs.Four suspects were taken into custody
on charges of cultivating dagga.JPSmith,Mayoral committeemember
for safety and security, says the suspectstried to hamper the search on the proper-ty by hiding drugs in a sewerage pipe.“The suspects tried to stash a scale and
some tik in a sewerage pipe outside andmask it with dog excrement to keep ourstaff from searching the pipe.“The incident with the dogs is some-
thing we are starting to see more andmore where they either use the animalsas a delay tactic while they flush thedrugs or to try to intimidate our staff,”Smith says.He adds the operation is part of a
broader enforcement strategy and willbe enforced in other communities aswell.“[The operation] was predicated by
concerns around a flare-up of tensions inLavender Hill.“Similar operations in areas like Han-
over Park and Manenberg have yieldedvery positive results, but have also bol-stered public confidence to the pointwhere we are seeing more and moremembers of the public coming forwardwith useful information about criminalactivity,” he adds.Metro police made more than 2 000
drug-related arrests last year.City law enforcement agencies also
confiscated 82 firearms and 1 067 ammu-nition rounds last year.“These statistics are impressive, con-
sidering that the City only controls 3%of policing resources, including Metropolice, traffic services and our law en-forcement department.“Manyof thedrug- and firearm-related
arrests came as a result of our interven-tions in gang hotspots and bear testimo-ny to thehardwork that our staff are put-ting in.“If not for our firearm confiscations,
who’s to say how many more peoplemight have been on the receiving end ofa bullet,” Smith said.

Proofingagainstthe rainFor many living in informal set-
tlements, winter brings with itstressful challenges as heavy
rains flood low-lying areas. The situ-ation is exacerbated by unstable andporous roof structures which causeinternal leaks.A Johannesburg-based communitydonor observed theplight of those liv-ing in these conditions and sawanop-portunity to help those in need. Is-mail Moola was appointed by theanonymous sponsor to facilitate theinstallation of 100 Ikaya roof coversin the Egoli informal settlement inSchaapkraal. NGOMustadafin Foun-dation will be providing the logisticsof installingandmaintaining the cov-ers.The 4m x 4mwaterproof covers aremade from Tarpaulin/PVC and are650g thick, making them themost du-rable roof covers used to date. Not on-ly are they heat repellent in the hotsummer months, but they also insu-late shacks in winter while keepingits residents dry.Ameer Samsodien, a project leaderat Mustadafin Foundation whohelped research and implement theproject, say they are grateful for thesupport received.“We are so grateful for the supportof our donors and through their gen-erous donation we were able to in-stall 100 Ikaya roof covers at thisstage at a cost of R100 000. With prop-er care, the covers will last about fiveto six years, and we hope to installmany more in the coming monthswhen further funds come in,” Samso-dien says.V If you would like to donate to the Ikaya roofcovers initiative contact the MustadafinFoundation on 021 633 0010.V For more information on the MustadafinFoundation, visit www.mustadafin.org.za.Join its Facebook page on www.face-book.com/MustadafinFoundation.

ROAD DEATHS
Proposed restriction for trucksIn a move to curb South Africa’s appallingroad death toll, transport minister DipuoPeters is proposing restrictions for goods
vehicles on public roads.According to the department, the restric-
tions will affect commercial vehicles with agross vehiclemass (GVM) exceeding 9000kg.The intended regulations will be pub-
lished for public comment and discussionlater this year.
Reduce road deaths“This intention is in response to the increasein the number of road accidents thatinvolves goods vehicles on the South Afri-can roads,” Peters says.The new regulations state: “No person
shall operate on thepublic roada goods vehi-cle the gross vehicle mass of which exceeds9000kg from 17:00 to 20:00 Monday to Friday(except public holidays) and from 06:00 to09:00 Monday to Friday (except public holi-days).”Essentially vehicles with a GVM of more
than 9000kg can only operate onpublic roadsfrom 09:00 to 16:00 and 20:00 to 06:00 duringweek days. There are, however, provisionsfor emergency service vehicles.The department adds: “This provision
shall not apply in case of emergencies, to thedriver of a fire fighting vehicle, a fire fight-ing response vehicle, an emergencymedicalresponse vehicle, a rescue vehicle or an am-bulance, who drives such vehicle in the per-formance of his or her duties, a traffic officeror a person appointed in terms of the SouthAfrican Police Service Act of 1995, whodrives a vehicle in the carrying out of his orher duties or any person driving a vehiclewhile responding to a disaster as contem-plated in the Disaster Management Act of2002.”
To be implemented 2015?Transport department spokesperson Ish-maelMnisi states that the regulations are indraft form and will have to be presented tohis party’s cabinet. It will be discussed inParliament and will incorporate public in-put. He states that the department hopes toimplement the proposed regulations by theend this year.
Affect freight industryThe proposed regulations could have a dras-tic affect on SA’s freight industry. How will
commercial freight operatorscope? What about companiesthat rely heavily on freightdeliveries?Gavin Kelly, technical and
operationsmanager of the SARoad and Freight Association(RFA) says: “The proposedregulations are very worry-ing and underline themiscon-ception that freight vehiclesare the primary cause for in-cidents on the road.“In the recent tragic crash
involving minister CollinsChabane and a goods vehicleit is conveniently forgottenthat the vehicle in which theminister was travelling ap-peared to have been travel-ling at more than 200km/h.However, the truck involvedis seen as the cause of thecrash.“Why has the minister de-
cided to restrict freight move-ment between the proposedtimes and on the proposeddays? It is important that theminister provides the detailor information that supportssuch a proposal – and weawait such.“Has the minister re-
searched the effect on trafficflowand the increase in safetyover these hours (this surely is the founda-tion for her proposal)?”
Economy at riskKelly asks: “Has the minister determinedthe effect on freight movement, scheduling,delays and the resultant increase in freightmovements between the proposed times ofrestricted movement? If so, could she pleaseattach this to the proposed regulationchanges she is planning to make?“Has theminister calculated the effect this
would have on the economy, and if so, welook forward to seeing this attached to theproposed regulations.”
‘Ill-conceived proposal’“It is interesting that the proposed restric-tions exclude public holidays andweekends.Is this because there are less light vehicles
on the road and therefore the risk is less?Generally over these periods freight has re-duced deliveries as many businesses wouldbe closed. Freight cost would also increaseover public holidays and weekends. Has theminister calculated this into her proposal?“The proposed legislation is ill-conceived
and not clearly thought through and willdamage logistics, raising costs and willcause severe bottlenecks in the logisticschain.”
Arrive Alive respondsArrive Alive’s Johan Jonck says: “We willhave to wait for the draft regulations to bepublished. We understand the reasoning be-hind this. It cannot be denied that trucks of-ten do contribute towards chaos on roadsduring peak traffic hours.“Itwould also be important to consider the
effect on traffic on our freeways (long dis-tance open roads) when trucks usually trav-el during the times proposed. It could addsignificant volumes of trucks for road usersto share the roads with outside of peak driv-ing hours on our national roads.“Itwill be evenmore important for drivers
to be alert to the risks when sharing theroads with heavy vehicles and we will needto create further awareness on aspects suchas safe overtaking, the risks of blind spotdriving, the need for patience and the like.“There will need to be much more consid-
eration between the different modes oftransport as more trucks are going to shareroads outside of the ‘prohibited’ times. Along-term solution is that we need to makemore use of rail for our transport and freightneeds.”– Wheels24.co.za

Backseat drivingis a pleasureVolvo will unveil its most luxurious ve-
hicle yet at the 2015 Shanghai autoshow that starts tomorrow – the new
Volvo XC90 Excellence.The XC90 Excellence has been crafted by
Volvo’s designers and engineers to offercustomers, the automaker says, “a distinctand individual automotive experience thatincorporates the latest Scandinavian inno-vations in design, refinement, comfort andstyle”.
The XC90 Excellence is based on Volvo’snew XC90 luxury SUV, headed for South Af-rica towards the end of this year.
Opulent interiorThe XC90 Excellence, however, has just fourseats compared to the original’s seven, cre-ating an enormous amount of space for rearpassengers.
Volvo’s senior vice president of design,Thomas Ingenlath, says: “This is our newflagship car and we have created the ulti-mate luxury experience of Scandinavian de-sign.
“Volvo has never launched a car like thisbefore. This is the car that demonstrateswhat the name Volvo now means.”
The Volvo XC90 Excellence has footrests,ambient lighting, illuminated storage,leather details, a luggage compartment, di-
viding screen, additional insulation and Pi-relli noise cancelling tyres.
Ingenlath says: “What we’ve designed isamongst the best rear seat experiencesavailable in a luxury car. The result is a su-perlative environment for relaxed comfortor doing business.”
Volvo’s all new XC90 is proving to be ex-tremely popular with customers seeking aluxury SUV. Over 24 000 have been orderedbefore it has even reached Volvo show-rooms. This accounts for approximatelyhalf of Volvo’s expected volume for the carthis year.
Headed for SAThe Volvo XC90 Excellence incorporates allthe features that underpin the XC90’s ongo-ing success, such as leading safety features,new technologies and an unrivalledcombination of power and fuel efficiency.
The XC90 Excellence will be available glo-bally later this year and via digital com-merce in selected markets.
The all-new Volvo XC90 seven-seat luxurySUV will be available in South Africa fromAugust.
At this stage there are no confirmed plansfor the four-seat XC90 Excellence to be soldlocally.– Wheels24.co.za

Water worries washed awayCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Awater leak outside a residence in Riet-bok Avenue has finally been repaired.People’s Post previously reported
about an underground water leak at AvrilCedras’s home (‘Water runs for months’, 17April).According toCedras, the leakwas reportedseveral times but after twomonths of contin-uous calls she was still not helped until twoweeks ago.Ernest Sonnenberg, mayoral committeemember for utility services, confirms the re-
pair. Sonnenberg says the leakage was re-ported to the wrong department – thereforethe delay.“The complaint which was initially re-ceived was directed to the wrong depart-ment. It has since been inspected and beenfixed,” he confirms.Sonnenberg adds because the leak oc-curred on the City’s side of the meter, it didnot affect Cedras’s water consumption.Cedras’s water meter is situated outsideher property, verging on the sidewalk.According toher shewaswithoutwater formany weekends at a time.However, since the leakhas been fixed, she
says she is very happy.“My water leak was fixed on Tuesday 14April after avery longwait. I am just sohap-py this was attended to in time because itwas worrying,” Cedras says.According to her two jobs were done atthe premises.“At first they fixed the water meter out-side my house. After that they came to re-pair the underground leak,” she says.Cedras says she is happy she now doesn’thave to worry about her water being cutanymore and says since the repair her wa-ter has stayed connected.Sonnenberg adds Cedras is not liable forany bill due to the undergroundwater leak-age.“She would not receive a bill relating tothe leakage as this leak occurred on theCity’s side of the meter. The meter onlymeasures the water passing through ontothe property,” he says.
Avril Cedras’s underground water leak hasfinally been repaired after the issue wasinitially reported in February.
