TOURISM

By cable car from city to Signal Hill?A funicular, tram or cableway could

soon link the city centre to the noondaygunandSignalHill if Sanparkshas

a say.Such a “mechanical people mover” is on

the cards in a management plan it has draft-ed to boost tourism.Table Mountain National Park (TMNP),

managed by Sanparks, has released its draftmanagement plan for the next ten years. Thepublic is invited to comment on it.

Something oldA large portion of the plan is dedicated toboosting tourism numbers, which in turnwill fund conservation, heritage and constit-uency building.This entails upgrading a range of existing

tourist spots.First on the list for an upgrade is Boulders

Beach, which sees 650 000 annual visitors.Visits are growing by over 5% a year. Thevisitor facilitywill be redesigned to enhancevisitor experience and visitor flow, the planstates. Other upgrades include the board-walks, parking area and interpretive infor-mation.A proposed upgrade of Cape Pointmay see

infrastructure improvements to the roads,water pipeline and sewerage system, as wellas the visitor centre.The Rhodesmemorial sitemay also see in-

frastructure upgrades. An investigation isunderway to explore uses for the old zoo sitethere, which could serve as a “gateway” tothe Groote Schuur estate and the park.

The Tokai Manor area is also in line forupgrades, according to the plan. It proposesdeveloping the area into a “vibrant multi-purpose gateway to the parkwhere the envi-ronmental, cultural and social significanceof the area is celebrated through the restora-tion of [the Tokai Manor and surrounds]”.An upgrade of the Signal Hill and Tafel-

berg roads interchange is needed, accordingto the plan, which sees 1.2 million visitors.This would tie into new developments in theStrand Street quarry.

Something newTo improve access to Table Mountain, San-parks is currently investigating implement-ing a “mechanical peoplemover”whichwilllink theStrandStreet quarry to theLionBat-tery and Signal Hill. This could lead to arange of visitor facilities at the noonday gunand Signal Hill.The management plan also proposes to

make use of other quarries in the City Bowlfor a variety of “low-volume multi-useevents”.Silvermine is also set for development,

with the establishment of a picnic area onthe southern side of Silvermine Dam as wellas re-use of theGroot SilvermineHomesteadas a visitor site linked to Peers Cave and theSunbird Education Centre.The Silvermine Source-to-Sea project will

be implemented to rehabilitate the river sys-tems and promote recreational links be-tween the urban environment and the park.The plan also looks atwaterways, with the

idea of linking the diversity of the terrestrialenvironment with that of the ocean throughthe establishment of a “marine gateway tothe Southern oceans”.“The purpose of this gateway would be to

promote the wonders of the ocean througha variety of marine-based research and ma-rine enforcement,” the plan states.A site for this gateway is still being identi-

fied.

The plan serves as a reference to the man-agement and development of the Park in itscurrent and envisaged future form.The plan includes information on the

background, biophysical context, desiredstate, management and programmes at stra-tegic and operational levels.V The full plan can be viewed on the Sanparks website.Public comment can be submitted until Saturday 9May.

‘Little Shop of Horrors’ in aid of charityA charity fundraising produciton of thecomedy-horror rock musical Little Shopof Horrors will take place at Theatre onthe Bay in Camps Bay on Tuesday 12May.All proceedswill go to StAnne’sHome,

State-owned power utility Eskom has re-sumed load shedding.And Eskom’s struggles to cope with elec-

tricity demand puts your computer equip-ment at risk.“PCs are sensitive to power cuts, power

dips andpower surges, so take thenecessarysteps to protect them,” says Daryl Blundell,generalmanager at Sage Pastel Accounting.“When Eskom cuts the power, you could not only lose the latest

changes to the files you’re working on, youropen files could become so corrupted ordamaged that you will not be able to restorethem,” he added.As a result, Blundell has offered five sug-

gestions on how South Africans, especiallysmaller businesses, can protect their com-puter equipment.

Regular backupsKeep your latest data backed up so that

you do not lose hours of work or any impor-tant information when the power goes out.Regular data backups are a must, not onlybecause of load shedding, they can also bea lifesaver if your hard drive crashes oryour computers are stolen.If possible, invest in an offsite backup sys-

tem. Data backups are kept safe on secureservers and can be accessed wherever youhave an Internet connection.

Invest in Uninterruptible Power Supplies(UPS)In the event of a power failure or load

shedding, a UPS gives users time to exit ap-

plications they are working on and savetheir work before they safely shut downtheir PCs. Even if you have generators,they’ll take a few seconds to kick in after apower failure – a UPS will prevent themfrom losing power before you’ve saved yourwork.A backup power inverter system is anoth-

er option. For less than R10 000 you can findone that will keep your routers, a couple ofcomputers and some lights going for a fewhours.

Switch off all PC’s not performing criticalfunctionsAny data that is open on a PC is at risk

of being damaged or corrupted in the eventof a power failure. For that reason, you needto get into the habit of closing applicationsand shutting downdesktop computerswhenyou are not using them for a while.

Switch off PCs and unplug themTo reduce the risk of damage to hardware,

switch off your PCs and unplug them fromthemain power sourcewhen power cuts hit.Otherwise, power surgeswhen electricity isrestored could damage your hardware.

Consider investing in a power bankA power bank can be invaluable for man-

aging your business when there is loadshedding. These portable chargers let youtop up the battery of your USB-powered mo-bile devices so you can keep going whenthere is a long power outage.– Fin24

Sun, fun andfree internet inlocal parksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Public spaces across ward 57 are setto become Wi-Fi hotspots.Public internet access is planned

for at least the parks, says ward councillorBrett Herron.“Initially the idea was to provide free

Wi-Fi in the two parks that we are lookingat turning around. Trafalgar Park is in are-imagining process aimed at improvingits integration with the surrounding com-munities and improving usage; andWood-stock Town Hall precinct is one of thenodes in myMain Street Project currentlybeing prioritised for implementation,” hesays.Given the proximity of the City of Cape

Town’s fibre optic cabling it may be possi-ble to include other parks like ShelleyStreet, Herron says, subject to a technicalassessment.The installation at the two Woodstock

sites are being planned for the next finan-cial year, and additional sites will be de-pendant on available funding.“Ultimately I would like for ward 57 to

be a ‘smartward’with free publicWi-Fi ac-cess across theward and I ambusy investi-gating this possibility,” he says.In addition to providing access to the in-

ternet, Herron also hopes free Wi-Fi inparks will encourage more people to usethe facilities.“This will drive out any potential or ac-

tual antisocial behaviour and result in theparks once again being vibrant communi-ty spaces that people use and love,” hesays.Upper Woodstock Residents’ Associa-

tion spokesperson LauraMeyers says: “In-ternet access is very expensive in SA, sohaving a convenient place to access the in-ternet will be of great benefit to all Wood-stock residents.”Access to the internet by all “has long

been identified as a game changer” for de-veloping access to opportunity and infor-mation, Herron explains.“There can be few who can today deny

how access to information, using the inter-net, has becomean integral and fundamen-tal part of their lives and of the daily lifeof us all. Providing public access to the in-ternet – free – in public spaces such asparkswill to someextent address thebarri-er of access to information and assist thosewho are studying or looking for work orlooking for information,” he says.

Trafalgar Park is one of the public spaces set tobecome a free Wi-Fi hotspot.

WALMER ESTATE

Formal boost forbusiness, servicesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The Walmer Estate Civic Associa-tion (WECA) has thrown its weightbehind a proposal to form an im-

provement district.The Walmer Estate Residents’ Com-

munity Forum proposed the formationof an organisation to provide top-up ser-vices as a vision for the area in 2020.In 2013, the Forum laid out a develop-

ment proposalwhich aims to bringmorebusinesses to the area and supplementservice delivery (“Boost for communi-ty’s coffers”,People’s Post, 13 September2013).Forum chairperson Moosa Sydow

says the area has become a popular choicefor property investors, but is still inhabitedby a community with roots older than ahundred years.The proposal looks tomeld the communi-

ty and new developments in a way that canbenefit all and tackle the threats of “drugabuse, gang activity, poor delivery of basicservices and a host of other social and safe-ty problems”, he says.The plan looks to develop a commercial

hub that links public spaces in the area, in-cluding the park and ramps at the edge ofChester and Searle streets, the PrincessStreet hall, the Brickies and theGreens andZonnebloem fields, Sydow says.This would most likely form at the junc-

tion between Chester, Coronation andPerth roads.To tackle service delivery issues, the plan

suggests forming a special rating area or anon-profit organisation to supplement ser-vices such as cleaning and security.This was presented to WECA at its annu-

al meeting in March.

The organisation lastweek issued a state-ment highlighting its support for the forma-tion of an improvement district.During a show of hands at the meeting,

the community “fully supported that ideawith no votes against and no abstentions”,says WECA chairperson Roland Langley.“As was evident at the meeting, the com-

munity aswell as themembership ofWECAfully support the idea of the Forum becom-ing and playing the role of an improvementdistrict in this area,” he says.The formation of an improvement dis-

trict is not a new idea, Langley says.“WECA was approached some years ago

about establishing an improvement districtand offered advice from the Salt River Busi-ness Improvement District. WECA in re-turn turned down the offer because of ca-pacity problems,” he says.Sydow has welcomed the support.However, plans to form an improvement

district are still at the discussion stage, hesays, and the Forum is currently workingto develop an “overarching structure”.

The Walmer Estate Civic Association hassupported proposals for the development of animprovement district in the suburb.

Raising for the roofTheHolySpirit is not the only thing rain-

ing down in St George’s Cathedral.The icon church has launched an in-

ternational campaign to raise funds to fixthe roof, which will not last another win-ter,”.The roof has been repaired over the years,

but is now in need of replacing.The cathedral community has raised

funds through a range of initiatives, includ-ing the Raise the Roof Concerts and the As-sociation of the Friends of St. George’s Ca-thedral.But as the churchnowneeds to raiseR25m

to save the roof, the named the “Under OneRoof campaign, and is calling on both the lo-cal and international community to donateroof tiles at R125.“Our doors are open to all, unfortunately

so is the roof,” the church says on the cam-paign’s website.“Although St George’s Cathedral has

weathered the turbulence of depressions, re-cessions, three wars and the struggle for

freedom, her roof won’t last another win-ter.”The cathedral is not only the spiritual

home of Emeritus Desmond Tutu, but is alsothe rallying point of the inter-faith demo-cratic movement which helped shape SouthAfrica’s miracle transition from oppressionto freedom.Under this roof, after leading a protest

march of 30 000 people through the streetsof Cape Town in 1989, Archbishop DesmondTutu first coined the phrase “Rainbow Na-tion”.“While the passing years have enhanced

the reputation of the cathedral across theworld, they have taken their toll on the vastarea of tiled roof. Now the cathedral looksto its faithful the world over for protectionfrom above,” the website says.Known as ‘The People’s Cathedral’ for its

role in the resistance against apartheid, St.George’s Cathedral is the oldest cathedral inSouthern Africa and the mother church ofthe Anglican Diocese of Cape Town.

CITY CENTRE

Taxi deck closedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Maintenance to the station deck at theCape Town train stationwill see taxisdiverted to the Grand Parade for six

days.In order to carry out the maintenance and

repairs unhindered, public access to certainareas will be restricted. No taxis will be al-lowed onto the station deck until Thursday,when operators can return to the taxi rank.The station deck taxi rank dates back to

1996 when the roofscape of the Cape Townstation opposite the civic centre was used asa minibus taxi rank for the first time, ex-plains Brett Herron, mayoral committeemember for transport.“It is one of the city’s key taxi rankswhere

thousands of commuters from suburbsacross the city get into and out of their taxis.The City is investing approximately R1m toimprove the facilities at the station deck,”

he says.In a recent ward 77 committee forum con-

cerns were raised about the temporary taxirank, following a recent upgrade of the siteand congestion caused by an upgrade to theStrand and Adderley streets intersection.However,Herronassuresminimal disrup-

tion will be caused as the closure is only forsix days andwill fallmostly over public holi-days and the weekend.“This is the only area fit to accommodate

the temporary relocation of theminibus taxioperations in terms of size, proximity to theCape Town central business district and ac-cess,” he says.“Past experience has also taught us that

a number of people prefer to be on leave dur-ing this short working week and thereforewedonot expect the traffic to beas congestedas during a normal working week.”Maintenance teams will paint the build-

ings and road markings, repair the lighting,repair potholes and cracks in the road sur-

face and sidewalks, andinstall new destinationboards to assist com-muters in finding thecorrect departure lanesto their destinations,Herron says.“As part of the main-

tenance and repairwork, new lanes will beallocated to the variousdestinations – the de-tails of which will becommunicated to theoperators and commut-ers in due course,” hesays.Once the repairs have

been completed, theCity will implement anew operational plan toalleviate the congestionon the station deck. Anew access control sys-tem for legal operatorswith the authority todrop off and pick up pas-sengers will be imple-mented, which will as-sist in preventing illegaloperators from enteringand operating at the taxirank, Herron says.

The station deck will be closed to taxis while maintenance is done.PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

Barefoot for a good causeCan you go barefoot for a day?

In a time when South African debates arecreating division among its citizens, a groupof students at the University of the WesternCape (UWC) launched a campaign to unifySouth Africans.

Barefoot Thursday for Africa is a cam-paign that challenges Africans to assist fel-low Africans in need.

Growing up in a village in the EasternCape, Mongezi Mabena was the only one inhis group of friends who owned a pair ofshoes.He sayshe felt so embarrassedbyhav-ing a pair of shoes that he would take themoff immediately when he came home fromschool and hide them from his friends.

Mabena is 20-years-old now, a BCommfirst year student at UWC and a Leaders’Quest Alumnus at youth development NPOSalesian Life Choices based in Lansdowne.

Today, Mabena still feels a deep connec-tion for children and equality – his motiva-tion to launch Barefoot Thursday for Africa,an initiative that encourages people to gobarefoot every Thursday to highlight theneed for shoes in South Africa and inspirethose who have shoes to donate to those whodon’t.

Why Thursday?Mabena – the founder of the campaign –

saw two street children barefoot on a Thurs-day while visiting Gugulethu.

This encounter took his thoughts back togrowing up where he was the only one whohad a pair of shoes.

Mabena says: “The experience raised a lotof questions in my mind. For example: if Af-rica belongs to all those that live in it, howis it possible for one African to own 25 pairsof shoes whilst another African does not

even have one pair? Does the African ideolo-gy only exist in our minds? I felt a deep de-sire to do something about it.”

This experience led Mabena to go to hisclasses barefoot the following Thursday.

He was taken aback by the interest he gotfrom his fellow students and those workingat the university.

“Students kept approaching me to askwhy I was barefoot, this gave me an opportu-nity to share the story and create awarenessaround the topic,” says Mabena.

By the end of the day, he had received do-nations of shoes, with some students givinghim the shoes that they had on.

“I was shocked by how many students

wanted to help and soon we had a group ofstudents that worked together to develop theBarefoot Thursday for Africa concept,” hesays.

Today all members of the organisation –most of them students at UWC – go to classesbarefoot on Thursdays to raise awarenessfor the cause.

According to theDepartment ofBasicEdu-cation there are over seven million childrenin South Africa living without shoes.

Understanding that the need for shoes ismore than just superficial, Barefoot Thurs-day for Africa highlights the important needfor shoes in Africa’s impoverished commu-nities in preventing and reducing trauma,

hookworm and parasitic diseases affectingindividuals who go barefoot for long periodsof time.

“Most people do not know the far reachingconsequences of being barefoot for long peri-ods of time and we want to raise awarenessand educate people,” Mabena says.

“We also want to promote Ubuntu and toraise awareness about the differences thathave destroyed the unity of Africa as a conti-nent. We asked people to donate a pair ofshoes to those who don’t have. In the firstweek we received more than 15 pairs ofshoes. It really showed that people want toget involved in helping the lives of their fel-low African brothers and sisters.”

Barefoot Thursday for Africa aims to col-lect 300 pairs of shoes to donate to people liv-ing in need across the Western Cape.

“In order to reach our goal we havereached out to non-profit organisations toassist us in finding children in need – wedon’t only aim to give to centres but also tochildren living in family homes that are inneed,” says Barefoot for Africa memberPheliwe Tamba.

“Barefoot for Africa’s main goal is toprove that Africans can do much betterwhen they are working together because webelieve that we have been separated for toolong. It is time to bring change to the conti-nent ourselves,” Mabena adds.

This unifying cause, born from the youth,exemplifies ways in which we can bringabout positive change by reinforcing initia-tives that inspire Africans to connect and ac-tively tackle the problems we are facing to-day as a nation.V For more information on Barefoot Thursday for Afri-ca and how to get involved contact [email protected] or contact Mongezi on 076 579 5211.

Do you remember the first book you read?Maybe it was a fairy-tale, in which a beautiful princess

was saved by a strong and dependable prince, or the ad-ventures of little animals as they relied on their friend-ship to escape dangers.Maybe your first book was a religious text, telling of

great miracles and teaching you how to live a good life.How many of us have lost ourselves in an adventure

or a love story, unable to stop turning the pages?As World Book Day was celebrated last week, readers

across the world picked up their favourite books.However, amongst our children – and even ourselves–

reading has become a dying past-time.We have turned the TV, radio or computer on, leaving

our books gathering dust.A great pity, as those very books contain life lessons

and a means to escape the dullness of our reality.But reading is more than just an escape.Themental stimulationof reading can slow thedevelop-

ment of diseases such Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Read-ingwill alsoboost yourvocabularyand improveyourgen-eral knowledge and memory.Regular readers have also been proven to have better

concentration and focus. They are also better analyticalthinkers, studies show.And many of these benefits can be carried over to chil-

dren, especially when their parents read to them from ayoung age.These children have been found to develop stronger ac-

ademically.Reading to your children will help them develop lan-

guage skills as well as concentration and logic.Instead of celebrating World Book Day once a year, it

should be celebrated every day.Switch off the TV or computer and curl up with a good

book, sharing the story with your family.

Report reckless taxi driversRecently, in the space of two days, I wasnearly driven off the road by taxiscoming down Harfield Road from Kenil-worth’s side towards Main Road, Clare-mont. This has happened so many timeslately, but last week Tuesday morning (14April) was the ultimate.Four mini taxis filled with passengers

were driving in the right lane, while fourcars, including myself, turned from MainRoad (at Scala Chemist) into HarfieldRoad.

I was horrified when a car followedthem in the right lane to get to MainRoad. Traffic was blocked in Main Roadas two taxis just sped across withoutstopping.My biggest concern is that this situa-

tion has intensified. There are mini taxistransporting children to the school.Children are walking to the school fromMain Road, as well as from HarfieldStation.These taxi drivers do not care about

anyone and they are really a threat toour society and safety.I really want to plea with people to

report any incident of reckless driving tothe necessary authorities. Hopefully wecan get some assistance from our trafficdepartment in this regard.It is all about the safety of our commu-

nities.

GOSPEL:

Sing no to xenophobiaLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

CCape Town musician Neville D has tea-med up with two other South Africanartists to sing out against Xenophobia.

Gospel singers Judith Sephuma and Pa-trick Duncan were in Cape Town last weekto record Pray, which will was released onWednesday 22 April.Neville originally wrote the song for Ju-

dith, who recorded it for her gospel album,The experience, but this time round the songfeatures three voices.Neville explains that they thought the

song was very appropriate when looking atthe current situation in South Africa withregards to recent xenophobic attacks.

Prayer“It’s just really a prayer,” he says, adding,

“I don’t care who you pray to.”He adds that of course there’s more to

fixing the situation than praying, but thethree believe it’s a good place to start.“It’s where we get our wisdom,” and from

there they go out and do what they can doin action.The reason Neville asked Patrick and Ju-

dith to record this single is because the threeof them, have travelled extensively to per-form all over Africa.“As soon as it started, we really felt it,” he

says, again referring to the xenophobic at-tacks that have been making headlines re-cently.

Across AfricaWith many friends from other African

countries, Xenophobia is an issue that hitsclose to home, for all three singers, but itwould be something they felt strongly abouteven if they didn’t have friends from northof the border.“Just based on the fact that they are hu-

man beings, our brothers, we should bedoing something.”Patrick, Judith and Neville, recorded the

single, and the music video onMonday withthe help of Andrewand JeremyViljoen fromDigital Forest Studios, Tim Lengfeld fromTL Mastering, WOW TV, who did the videorecordings and sponsors Euclid Jacobs andMark Jackson.“Everybody came on board, free of charge,

just saying: ‘We want to be a part of this’.”Pray was released as a music video on so-

cial media platforms and is currently being

sampled on local radio stations.Neville says there has been a lot of interest

from television stations to broadcast themu-sic video and while he can’t confirm whowill pick it up, DStv’s Faith Broadcast Net-work already aired the song on Sunday 26April.Neville says they decided to record the

single because they “just wanted to do so-mething”.Theywant to encourage other artists from

all over theworld to add their voice to somet-hing.“There’s a lot of negativity all over the

world as far as South Africa is concernedand we felt like we wanted to see another si-de of South Africa.”He says he doesn’t want the world to look

at our country and say: “They killed our peo-ple and nobody said anything.”Pray is available for download from digi-

tal stores like iTunes and Amazon.V Visit Neville’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MR.NEVILLE.D or Twitter profile at @NevilleDMusic tohear the song.
