PUBLIC MEETING

Police come under fireSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

Tensions ran high at a recent Communi-ty Police Forum (CPF) meeting in Len-tegeur.

The first of its kind, about 150 residentsgathered to raise concerns about crime inthe area.

CPF chairpersonMark Brookes gave a de-tailed report of the CPF’s first few monthsin office.

A panel consisting of police management,ward councillors, subforum executivemem-bers and CPF members answered questionsraised at the meeting.

Station commander Colonel ElizabethHermanus reported that crime in the areahad decreased significantly. “We noticedthat house robberies were a big problem inthe area andweworkedon it. Since then con-tact crime has decreased,” she said at themeeting.

Hermanus was challenged and criticisedfor several decisions taken recently.

Lentegeur West Ratepayers Associationchairperson Peter Hoffman said that police

in the area were not doing their jobs. “Wewant to knowwhy the police caravan inAloewas removed. The people there are suffer-ing. Police are meant to stop and search andall they do is drive past,” he said.

Hoffman was referring to a caravanparkedat theTurksvypark inLentegeur (“Asafer play park”, People’s Post, 20 January).

The caravanwas set up after police confis-cated R1200 worth of drugs.

Extra resources were thenmade availableto ensure the safety of schoolchildren livingnear Turksvy Street.

Lentegeur police and the Mitchell’s Plaintactical response team had set up a mobilepolice caravan on the tarmac after growingconcerns that children were being exposedto drugs and violence.

At firstHermanus refused to comment butlater responded, saying: “Residents in thearea told us that they did not want it there.At the same time we were running low onresources and manpower. At the same timewe also had a crisis with the gang tensionin Woodlands. So if the residents don’t wantit, we need to move it to an area that needsit.”

Drugs, domestic violence and poor policeperformance were other hot topics at themeeting.

“We need to eradicate the drugs from ourarea completely,” one resident said and re-ceived much applause.

Another resident, Anthea van der Vent,said shewas concerned that a police van haddriven bywhen their sector commander hadchased after men following a shooting. Sheasked that the visible policing officers be ad-dressed.

Hermanus, however, said that the dutiesof these officers are vast and that complaintsneed to be attended to.

“I am surprised that I was not informedabout this,” she said. “However, the sectorcommanders are mini-station commandersand they are in charge of their teams. If theyneed help they can call on them.”

Hermanus also urged residents to reportcrimes as it helped towards crime analysis.

“If we do not know about it, we do notknow that those matters need to be ad-dressed,” she said.

These issues were brought up in imbizosheld last year. Hermanus also urged resi-

dents to attend these events.Contact numbers for vehicles and sectors

were another grievance.Hermanusurged residents to contact their

relevant sector commanders.V Sector 1 (Mandalay and Mont Claire):Call Sergeant Lwanyana on 082 522 2693.V Sector 2 (Lentegeur East and MontrosePark): Call Sergeant Booysen on082 378 9294.V Sector 3 (Lentegeur West and NewWoodlands): Call Warrant Officer Pieteseon 079 894 9684.V Sector 4 (Woodlands, Harmony Village,Morgan Village and West Cape Villas):Call Warrant Officer Prins on079 894 1504.V Sector 5 (Colorado, Rondevlei, Wild-wood and London Village): Call WarrantOfficer Appels on 082 411 2408.V Alternatively, make contact with thepolice station on 021 377 5000 for theswitchboard orV 021 377 5001 for the station commanderorV 021 377 5048/9 for the charge office orV 08600 10111 for CrimeStop

CITY RENTAL UNITS

Policy controls home fixesMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Non-payment, limited resources, lack offunding and high levels of theft andvandalism are the main issues

plaguing City of Cape Town rental units.

The maintenance of these units acrossCape Town is often a bone of contention inmany communities but a new policy aims toaddress this by prioritising repair work.

Last week, the City released its draft com-munity residential unit maintenance policyfor public comment.

According to the policy there are a rangeof issues affecting City rental units.

The Citymaintains 45 000 rental units and11 000 hostel beds.

ChallengesBenedicta van Minnen, mayoral committeemember for human settlements, says majormaintenance and upgrading is required dueto the age of rental units.

“Therefore there is generally not muchfunding left over for both operational (day-to-day) and capital (major upgrading) main-tenance work.”

VanMinnenexplains thehigh level of non-payment of rent by tenants also impactsfunding.

Thehigh incidenceof vandalism, theft andabuse of municipal services infrastructurein these units is also a challenge.

She further explains gangsterism, vio-lence and associated illegal activities con-tribute to a dangerous and stressfulworking

environment for personnel. Mental andphysical health deterioration among staff isalso a challenge faced by the department.

MaintenanceResponding to questions about staff alloca-tions and the inspection of rental units, VanMinnen explains the public housingmainte-nance staff cannot conduct door-to-door sur-veys, but do high-level block assessmentsonce a year when the budget request is com-piled.

“The City relies on residents to report anyissues so that they can be addressed, espe-cially in terms of health and safety matters.The City also uses expanded public worksprogramme workers to assist where possi-ble.”

She says non-payment by tenants directlyinfluences the budgets and maintenancework that can be performed and affects thesustainability of the rental units.

“In terms of the policy, defaulting tenantsor occupants will not be assisted with main-tenance apart from matters relating tohealth and safety.”

She says there are various levels ofdefaulting tenants but the municipalityoften requests they make arrangements ifthey cannot pay.

“In general, payment levels vary between40% to 42% across the city. It is importantto note that the collection rate in the alreadyupgraded units went up from 28% to 45%,”she adds.

FundingFor the 2014/2015 financial year, themunici-pality received a once-off lifetime renova-tion grant from national government whichallowed it to upgrade 7000 units at a cost ofR1.2bn.

Van Minnen explains those units may notaccess grant repair funding again and mustbe maintained by the City in the future.

“Therefore tenants must please pay theirrent to enable high levels of maintenance inthe future.”

On average, the municipality spendsR15m each year on day-to-day maintenancewhich addresses mainly health and safetyconcerns.

Van Minnen explains this maintenancedepends on what is allocated in the annualbudget. In the last financial year the depart-ment received R10.4m.

PolicyThe new draft policy categorises and priori-tises repairs to ensure that health and safetyrepairs are attended to first.

Van Minnen explains it also incentivisestenants to pay rent in order for the City todo maintenance.

The policy proposesmaintenance work bedivided into four categories which rangefrom “very high” priority to “low” priorityand according to levels.

For the first two levels, which are consid-ered “very high” or “high” priority, mainte-nance includes emergency repairs in theevent of a disaster, anything which poses ahealth risk, structural damage to a unit andelectrical repairs.

For the two lower levels, namely “medi-um”and“low”priority,maintenance coverswindows, ceilings, internal doors and locksand toilet seat replacements.

The comment period on the new policycloses on Thursday 30 April.V To view the draft policy visit www.capetown.gov.za.It is also available at subcouncil offices and libraries.For more information contact Cassandra Gabriel on021 400 5212 or [email protected].

LENTEGEUR

Residents cansurf for freeSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

Agenerous international investmenthas made it possible for the City ofCape Town to turn Lentegeur library

into a Wi-Fi hotspot.The library is the first hotspot in Mitch-

ell’s Plain and provides free data in a rangefrom the library to seven other areaswithina block bordered by Morgenster and Eisle-ben roads.Residents within this Wi-Fi access range

are invited to use it to WhatsApp and surfthe internet free of charge.The United States trade and development

agency (USTDA) provided $335 000 (approxi-mately R3.9 million) in funding for a feasi-bility study that led to the project which re-sulted in the establishment of the freeWi-Fihotspots.On Monday 23 March the City hosted the

USTDA at the Lentegeur library.Xanthea Limberg, mayoral committee

member for corporate services, says thefacility is one of 69 others with a Wi-Fi hot-spot which is open to the public.“Our plan is to have a total of 130 Wi-Fi

hotspots fully installed by the close of the2014/2015 financial year. Our new publicaccess Wi-Fi hotspot digital inclusionproject has beenmade possible as part of theCity’s R1.3 billion universal broadband net-work strategy which is geared towards roll-ing out a comprehensive broadband infra-structure network throughout the metro by2017,” she said at the visit.The purpose of the visit was to take the

USTDA delegation on a walk-about to viewand test the new public access Wi-Fi hot-spots to show the progress made to date inrolling out a comprehensive networkthroughout Cape Town.The delegation was led by USTDA direct-

or Leocadia Zak.“I am delighted to be back in Cape Town

to see how the partnership we establishedthree years ago is helping the City realizeits internet connectivity goals. Digitalinclusion will support the provision of edu-cation, health care and other critical servi-ces. It will also promote business develop-ment and overall economic growth,” shesaid.The City first became involved with the

USTDA as part of an investment pro-gramme. “The United States governmentfunds the feasibility study of projects whichhave significant merit, but are also in needof further studies in order to convert theidea into action,” Limberg said.She explained that although the USTDA

funded the study, it didnot fund the installa-tion of the infrastructure. “This programmedoes not fund the physical construction, butrather the technical and feasibility studieswhich then inform the subsequent imple-mentation phases.”The feasibility study provided the City

with a proof of concept project that hasresulted in the establishment of the freeWi-Fi hotspots. The $335 000 was spent on theinitial feasibility study which sought to as-sess the sustainability and financial viabili-ty of providing wireless connections direct-ly into the homes of residents in Khayelit-sha and Mitchell’s Plain. “This proof ofconcept study paved theway for the currentdigital inclusion project model which isnow well on its way to being completed,”Limberg said.To date several other hotspots have been

established in Cape Town, including theHillstar administrative building, Plum-stead administrative building, Harare li-brary and Cape Town civic centre.“To log on, residents need to select one of

the open service providers and then provide

limited information that will enable us tounderstand usage as this helps us plan forfuture roll-outs,” Limberg said.“As part of the City’s ongoing commit-

ment to public-private partnerships, wehave engaged with three commercial ser-vice providers on this project [Mweb,Orange and Internet Solutions],” she said.Mweb has provided an uncapped data ser-

vice for the trial period. Orange initiallyoffered a free 200MB of data per person perday that had subsequently been increasedto 3GB per day from 2 February. InternetSolutions has offered a free data service of50MB per person per day.More hotspots are planned, although a

detailed plan could not be disclosed to Peo-ple’s Post at the time of going to print.V How do you feel about the free Wi-Fi? Have youused it? Starting with the word “MPost” SMS yourthoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Have your sayMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Dog lovers are invited to have their sayon proposed animal-friendly zones onbeaches along the False Bay coast.

The new zones will mark where animalsmay paw the sand and where they won’t bewelcome on beaches between Noordhoekand Blue Waters.Public participation on the proposalbegan last week with two exhibitions.The new zones were first tabled at theSouth Peninsula subcouncil meeting inNovember but deferred as councillors feltmore consultation with the public wasneeded (“New leash for animals”, People’sPost, 25 November).Last Tuesday andWednesday exhibitionswere held inMuizenberg and Simon’s Townrespectively. Here officials from the City ofCape Town’s sports, amenities and recrea-tion department displayed posters showingthe new zones and addressed questionsraised by residents.If a resident had a concern about the newzones, they were asked to fill in a form andlist their concerns.The proposed zoning suggests that dogswill not be allowed at the City-owned re-sorts Soetwater, Miller’s Point and BlueWaters.The stretch of coast between KommetjieandNoordhoekhave been divided into vari-ous zones – some prohibit dogs and horses,some allow dogs to run free and lastly partswhere dogs are allowed but have to be onleashes.The proposal bars dogs from Long Beachin Simon’s Town, Water’s Edge and Glenc-airn beach, including the tidal pools.At Mackerel beach dogs may run free.At Fish Hoek beach dogs will be prohibit-ed in the area between the restaurant and

the fisherman’s hut. From the hut to the Sil-vermine stream dogs on leashes will be al-lowed.Further down the coastline on Clovellybeach theywill be allowed to run free before09:00 and after 18:00.Between Sunrise and Zonwabe beachesdogs are allowed on leashes.Dogs and horses are barred from the areabetween Strandfontein Pavillion and theedge of Nine Miles.In earlier comment, Belinda Walker,mayoral committee member for communi-ty services and special projects, explainedthe council decided to delegate the demarca-tion of animal zones on beaches to subcoun-cils.For this reason the sport, recreation andamenities department has undertaken tomake recommendations to subcouncils tohelp them in the demarcation of these ani-mal zones within their areas.“These recommendations have beenformulated through consultation with vari-ous line departments including, amongothers, environmental resource manage-ment, law enforcement, solid waste man-agement and City health. The demarcationof animal zones will ultimately lead to theinstallation of appropriate signage, the pro-vision of additional litter bins where theneed is identified and the improved regula-tion of animals and their interaction withhumans and other animals in an area withmultiple users.”Subcouncil chairperson FelicityPurchase says she has received manyemails on the proposed zones and to datemost residents want the status quo toremain.V The deadline for comments is Thursday 30 April.For comments or enquiries contact Helen Jordaan at021 400 1691, [email protected] [email protected].

PETROL BOMBS

Fingerprints will point to guiltySAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

A fingerprint identification solution isthe last hope for local police in a caseagainst two Lentegeur men who may

have intended to use petrol bombs in a gangassault.Lastmonth police followed up on informa-

tion that led to the confiscation of six petrolbombs in Varing Street (“Contrabandclampdown”, People’s Post, 17 March).After the recent death of an alleged gang

member, police received information of a

possible revenge attack planned for after hisfuneral, which took place on Saturday 14March.At 23:55 police and neighbourhood watch

members were on patrol in the vicinity.They then received the information that ledto the police searching a house in VaringStreet, confirms police cluster commanderMajor-General Abraham Goss. “On arrivalofficers found twomen inside the house andrequested permission to search the home.After consent was given, the officers foundparts of a bulletproof vest and two .38 calibrespecial rounds. The officers thenmoved out-

side and found a paint bucket with six 340mlbottles inside,” he says.The beer bottles were filled with petrol

and stuffed with linen. This, Goss explains,is considered a petrol bomb.The two menwereaskedabout the explosives andclaimedto have no knowledge of it. The men werearrested and have already appeared in courtand have since been released.Colonel Elizabeth Hermanus, Lentegeur

police station commander, said at a recentmeeting that the men had to be released asthey could not be positively linked to thebombs.

“If the people claim to have no knowledgeof the bombs or have a valid reason for hav-ing them, then the case has to be dropped,”she said, meaning to speak generally andnot specifically about this case.Hermanus continued to explain that the

investigation was still open.“Themenwere not in possession of the ex-

plosives when we arrived. However, wehave found a fingerprint. It is just a matterof linking it to someone now. It is with theforensic team at the moment and if the fin-gerprint matches someone who has been ar-rested then we can link it,” she said.

Selfdefence on the roadSeven localwomenare onamission to teachothers self-defence.With the increase in sexual offences in

Cape Town, the Shoprite StaySafe women’sroad showset out to offerworkshops for freeas part of a multi-stop road show. At theseworkshops women can learn various self-defence techniques from an African masterof martial arts.“We are on a mission to empower women

in impoverished areas,” says spokespersonMantsadi Sepheka.“So far we have completed nine work-

shopswith theninthbeingavery successfulworkshop in Ceres.“We began these workshops in Bredas-

dorp [in June 2014] where we paid tributeto the late Anene Booysen. Each workshophas been attended by around 100 women,”Sepheka says.On Saturday 28March, the heroic women

made their tenth stop – in Lentegeur at theDocks Mission church hall.Theworkshops providewomenwith tools

to defend themselves, the encouragement tospeak out about their abuse and confidenceto act in defence of themselves.

The women are also guided through thepsychological background of sexual offend-ers and given general safety awareness andhands-on self-defence training.After completion of the workshop they

are also equipped to identify a potentialharmful situation and use the skills taughtto protect themselves.The self-defenceworkshops are presented

by Sanette Smit, the highest graded womanin karate on the continent.As the chief instructor, Smit, along with

her qualified team, will hold a total oftwelve workshops over a period of twelvemonths in twelve communities in the prov-ince.The cause has attracted attention from

international singerAnnie Lennoxwhohasalso endorsed the project.“I think this is an excellent initiative and

I heartily endorse and appreciate what theteam at the Shoprite Stay Safe Self-defenceRoad Show are doing,” she said in a state-ment to the group.Shoprite was also a key sponsor of the

event. The roadshow will finish with aworkshop inFishHoekonSaturday 23May.

Sergeant Cathy Meyer of the Lentegeur police station assisted in the empowerment workshop.

Her name is Katrina Muller. She is 48years old and she is Running for Luca.

Katrina lives in Heathfield with herhusband Brent and daughters Luca (6) andCharly (3). Her son Ivo (28) lives in Gardens.Katrina is originally from Germany and hasbeen living in South Africa since 2001 whereshe met her husband, Brent.

“I was always into sport, but never withmy whole heart. And then Luca was born.Beautiful. With Down's Syndrome.

“So I have this pain in me since then, akind of guilt that there was nothing I couldhave done or nothing I could do to take itaway.Butwhen I run, I run forher. It’s print-ed on my shirt and in my heart and that iswhat I can do for her,” Katrina says.

“That is why I started Running for Lucaayearago. It is to raise awareness forDown'sSyndrome. When I come home with my med-al, Luca knows Mommy ran for her and themedal is hers. Running sets me free in myheart, it takes the pain away, at least for awhile . . .

“It’s about all our children with disabili-ties. I’m fighting for acceptance .Our chil-dren are beautiful and very much able to fitinto society. They must be able to go to main-stream schools and study. I stand up forthem to be included. All they need is a littleextra help.”

According to her, communities need to beopen about people with disabilities. “We asparents should not struggle to find a schoolwhere they can study, play and makefriends. Our children are more alike than

different.” .Katrina says that the purpose of Running

for Luca is to get this message out there sothatmorepeople get educated about disabili-ties, and then there will be more acceptance.

“The vision of Running for Luca is to givechildren and adults with disabilities a placewhere they can participate in sport togetherandwithable bodiedpeople.Running forLu-ca wants to help other initiatives to raisemoney or simple raise awareness,” she says.

According to Katrina people – especiallywithin the runner community –haveeducat-ed themselves and changed their attitude to-wards people with Down's Syndrome sinceshe started Running For Luca. “And theyare now the ambassadors for our children.Runners wearing Running For Luca shirtsat events have been seen by so many people.After all, each and every single one of us ispart of our community and we have to startto look out for each other.

“So my vision is simple: We are all humanbeings and we all have the human right ofbeing loved and accepted for who we are,perfect in our imperfection.”

Perfect in imperfection

Try your first triathlon nowWith some time and training, a little dedi-cation, great motivation and much enthu-siasm, anyone can finish a triathlon.

This is according to insurer Discovery.The 2015 Discovery World Triathlon CapeTown on 25 and 26 April is a great first tri-athlon to try, the company says. Followingits successful launch last year, the Discov-ery World Triathlon Cape Town will onceagain formpart of the InternationalTriath-lon Union’s (ITU) popular World TriathlonSeries.

Triathlon is amultidisciplinary sportingevent that consists of a swim leg, a cycle

leg, and a running leg.The distances of each leg, and the total

distance covered, depends on the eventtype: sprint or half-Olympic distance tri-athlons are the shortest and fastest consist-ing of a 750m swim, 20km cycle and 5kmrun.On theother endof the spectrum, Iron-man triathlon events start with a 3.86kmswim, then a 180km cycle and end with a42.2km run.

Olympic and long-distance or half-Iron-man events fall inbetween these distances.

Completing a triathlon is a significantcommitment to training and competing.

But triathlon is a great sport saysKateRob-erts, SA Olympic triathlete: “The uniquecombination of disciplines means threetimes the challenge, but also three timesthe sense of achievement.”

Many reasons to try a triEric Harr, in his book Triathlon Training,gives a number of reasons to enter a triath-lon. These range from being able to lose agreat deal ofweight quickly to personal ful-filment and bragging rights. But whateveryour reason for entering, triathlons arevery rewarding.

Where to begin?Biokineticist Ceejae Miller says that thetriathlon experience, on race day and dur-ing training, is much easier and more funwhen you’re training with a group. Her ad-vice is to join a club and get expert advice.“Triathlons are hard if you don’t knowwhat you’re doing orhaven’t sought adviceand don’t know what to expect,” she says.

Finally, Olympic medallists Alistair andJonathan Brownlee say that if you’rethinking of entering you should “absolute-ly do it and train and get on with it; andsecondly, really enjoy it.”
