MEMBERS of the Atlantic Green PointBowling Club are rapidly losing patiencewith the City if Cape Town.They are keen to start repairs on their

building thatwasdamaged ina fire last year,but accuse council of dragging its feet.The City has halted the work at the club,

as it is believed that the buildings are morethan 60 years old.Mayoral Committee member for Econom-

ic, Environmental and Spatial Planning, Ga-reth Bloor, explains that due to the 60-year-old age tag on the building, a Section 34 per-mit fromHeritageWestern Cape is requiredbefore any work on the building can be un-dertaken.A recommendation has been made to the

City’s Property Management Departmentthat a heritage consultant be appointed tocarry out a study to determine the signifi-cance of the remains of the building.“The City’s database shows the area as a

Grade 3B area, which means it has high his-toric, social or architectural value,” Bloorsays.Last year the club was left gutted when an

electrical fault sparked a fire that destroyedmost of the building.

President of the club, John Taylor, ex-pressed his frustration about the length oftime being taken by the City to approvebuilding plans for the club.“We are currently fighting with the City

to get the work done at the site. We wouldlike to start renovating the building, but theCity is holding us back,” he says.Taylor explains that they are interested in

exploring various business opportunities atthe premises, but cannot do so unless theclub gets the nod from the City.Talks of a restaurant openingup at the site

as well as a local rugby club starting a pro-grammeon thegroundsare someof the ideasbeing flung around.“The City is giving us a load of rubbish

and we fear that wemight lose some of thesebusiness opportunities,” Taylor says.“We want to make the club just like it was

before and reinstate the club for the benefitof this community.”Mayoral Committee member for Commu-

nity Services, BelindaWalker, confirms thatdiscussions are underway between the City,insurers and the club committee, but that allinvolvedwill still have towait for the resultsof a Heritage Assessment.When People’s Post visited the building

lastweek,workerswere seencarryingbuild-ing rubble from the site, whichseemed as if the constructionprocess had already kicked off.However, Walker clarified

that thework currently unfold-ing at the site involved clean-ing up the surrounding areasand making the building safe.“This has been undertaken

by the insurers in order to as-sist the club to continueoperat-ing, and is agreed to and sup-ported by the City,” she says.The City has already ap-

pointed a project manager tooversee the project, who Walk-er believes will be following“the required procedures”.

EXPERIENCE an amazingly calmenvironment when walkingthrough the newly established lab-yrinth at the Green Point Biodiver-sity Park.The labyrinth was officially un-

veiled by the Mouille Point Rate-payers’ Association and the City ofCape Town last week.Early last year, the association

put out a proposal to the communi-ty expressing their interest in in-troducing amaze-like pattern, withpathways and benches, on the westend of the urban park.Co-ordinator for the association,

Jane Meyer, confirms that an“overwhelming” response was re-ceived from the community, encouragingplanners to materialise the idea.“This new space is for people to come out,

relax andhave some time to think in a spacethat is quiet and calm,” she says.A labyrinth is an intricate structure of in-

terconnecting passages through which it isdifficult to find one’s way.There is a difference between a labyrinth

and a maze. A maze has many differentpaths and can be confusing to walk; thereis a possibility of getting lost. It is a left-brain, problem-solving exercise.The labyrinth has one path with many

turns. There is only oneway in and onewayout and is a right-brain, creative, intuitiveand spiritual experience.

However,this labyrinthhas been madewheelchairfriendly, with aspecial widepath runningaround the lab-yrinth to giveaccess towheelchairs.On top of that,there are handlabyrinthsthroughout thepathways andon the fourbenches insidethe labyrinth,allowing peo-ple who are vis-ually impairedto feel theirway throughthe space.

“We have really made this space for eve-rybody. Nobody is being excluded, as wewould like everyone to experience this newfeature at the park,” Meyer says.The project started when residents were

approached for a once-off fee of R30 andbusinesses were asked to donate betweenR1000 and R1500 towards the labyrinth.After the association also donated fund-

ing, a partnership was formed between theCity and the association.Ward councillor Beverley Schafer is ex-

cited about the establishment of the laby-rinth at the park and feels the space shouldprovide the publicwith a “space for contem-plation”.“This should be a space for those that

want to sit and enjoy the beautiful openspace that it now has to offer, over andabove the many activities that are alreadythere,” Schafer says.She is even more thrilled that the laby-

rinth accommodates people with disabili-ties, explaining that side-paths that wereconstructed would lead them to seating are-as where the mini or finger labyrinths areerected for them to use.“I have no doubt that visitors will thor-

oughly enjoy this beautiful space and Imustthank the association for this wonderfulcontribution to the park,” she adds.Guy Davies, a Universal Design consult-

ant, was blown away by the new additionto the park. He is in a wheelchair.Davies moved around the labyrinth

checking out the new features and wasamazed to know that the labyrinth is “suita-ble for all”.“I think it’s a brilliant idea and more im-

portantly, it’s designed and constructed forall to use,” he says. “People will definitelybe having some fun in this new space.”

CAPE TOWN Traffic Services willact against any public transportconveyance used by commutersoperating without a operating per-mit – including tuk-tuks.JP Smith, the Mayoral Commit-

tee member for Safety and Securi-ty, says it’s not the traffic depart-ment’s right to run a public trans-port conveyance.Traffic officials do, however,

have the right to check that the re-quirements of thesepermits are ap-plied.“If a permit has been issued to a

tuk-tuk, they may operate a publicconveyance operation, or else traf-fic officers will impound these ve-hicles,” he says.At this stage, only one tuk-tuk

has been issued a public transportpermit, and only this vehicle maytransport passengers.Daniel Clarence, one of the two

brothers who drive tuk-tuks in theCBD, said they would continuewith their venture.The Clarence brothers have ini-

tiated a planwhichwill see passen-gers purchasing “shares” in theproject, rather than paying taxifare.The brothers say their passen-

gers are actually shareholders and“own” the vehicles in which they

are transported.This way the tuk-tuk is not being

used as a mode of public transport,according to their plan.Smith counters it does not mat-

ter whether payment is made as aninvestment.Even if “shares” are offered, it is

still an offence to transport thepublic, he said.

THE ABLUTION block at the Strand StreetQuarry is attracting the wrong sort of atten-tion.

Daily, the block is being broken into by va-grants and used as a drinking venue, shelterfor the night and drug abuse, says the City’sLaw Enforcement Unit.

The Principal Inspector for the City’s Dis-placed People’s Unit, Wayne Aldridge, ex-plains that the toilets have been locked onnumerous occasions, only for officers to findthe locks broken when the toilets are in-spected.

“Those toilets are being used for all thewrong reasons and the only way to get ridof these problems is by demolishing the

structure,” he says.Aldridge says drunk and unruly vagrants

are often spotted at the ablution block.He also believes the area around the toilet

plays host to some “criminals” at night asthe quarry is easily accessible.

“That whole facility is a problem for us.Efforts are made to keep the area locked, butthey keep getting in and replacing the lockswith their own,” Aldridge says.

Ward councillor Dave Bryant has mount-ing anxiety about the Strand Street Quarryand feels that a proper plan of action is need-ed to tackle the issues.

He was aware that the toilets were attract-ing some “unsavoury characters”, and isdisturbed to hear that the facility is continu-ously broken into.

“The residents are genuinely concernedabout this area. Something needs to be doneurgently.

“We need to get all the role players in-volved in order for us to get a better idea ofthe way forward,” he says.

Local shop owner, Veejay Moodly, startedclosing his store earlier due to the numberof times he was robbed last year.

Moodly was not afraid to point out that“criminals” inside the quarry were respon-sible for the incidents and claims the areais a “hotspot for crime”.

“There have been a number of raids at thisquarryandononeoccasion the suspects thatrobbed my store were even brought out ofthe quarry,” he says.

“It serves no purpose for the community

and those toilets just attract all the wrongsorts of attention.”

In a recent public meeting at the councilchambers, the Bo-Kaap NeighbourhoodWatch suggested that the land surroundingthe toilets be leased out to a local rugby clubfor the purpose of junior training.

Executive director for Safety and Securi-ty, Richard Bosman, confirms that the toi-lets will be investigated by the City’s Prob-lem Buildings Unit in terms of the ProblemBuildings Bylaw.

“Any contraventions of the bylaw will re-sult in a notice of compliance being servedon the responsible party,” he says.

Bosman confirms that problems with va-grants andpetty criminals at the toilets havebeen a persistent thorn in the City’s side.

To meet ornot to meetSOCIAL NETWORKS and the internet

have become a place where people arere-united with old friends or make new

ones.With the recent murder of a 65-year-old

Sea Point man, reportedly after he had metwith someone he had met online, People’sPost interns Luzuko Zini and Tarren-LeeHabelgaarn took to the streets to poll read-ers if they ever meet with people they chatwith, and what precautionary measuresthey take before meeting the people.

MICHAELMICHAEL JURDJURDsays he isagainst socialnetworking. Hefeels it is a hubfor problemsand not belong-ing to any keepshim safe. “Be-longing to a so-cial network islike opening acan of worms.One thing leadsto another andbefore youknow it, you arein trouble. If Ineed to get holdof someone Icall or SMS.”

NAZEEMNAZEEM AJAJAMAM says: “Youths are easily fooled bysomeone pretending to be what they are not. Justbecause you don’t give personal informationdoesn’t mean you’re safe.”

MICHELLEMICHELLE VEN-VEN-TERTER says whilesocial network-ing can be posi-tive, it has neg-ative aspects aswell. She feelsit is great to useto get in touchwith people youhave lost con-tact with orwho live faraway, but she iscautious of thedangers. “It al-so has its downside, because ofstalkers andpeople lookingto cause harm.”

VENUSVENUS LEESLEES recalls a bad experience. “I have metwith a person I chatted to online, but it was ina public place. I only did it once and I will neverdo it again.”

JOJOSH TSH TSHIN-SHIN-GOMBEGOMBE sayshe only chatsto and sharesinformationwith peoplehe knows. “Iwould neverinvite orwant tomeet withstrangers.Even theones I inviteor share mypersonal in-formationwith arethose whoare reallyclose to me.”

RICHARD ROBERTS

THEODORE YACH, a well-known long dis-tance and cold water swimmer, on Wednes-day set a personal record by swimmingfrom Robben Island to Big Bay for the 70thtime.

He was joined by 10 other swimmers anda support boat to Big Bay where his wife,Michelle, congratulated and welcomed himwith open arms.

“She has fully supported me since I tack-led my first swim in 1981,” he says.

Although Yach (55) has tackled these icywaters and 10km distance on numerous oc-casions, he describes last week’s feat asquite a battle.

“It wasn’t easy. It was quite a challenge,especially when the water’s temperatureplummeted to 11°C.

“It was quite cold. Besides this, there wasalso a strong current... I could at least suc-ceed in completing the challenge,” Yachsays.

Nevertheless, he says he was excited tobe accompanied by 10 experienced swim-mers.

The group was also joined by a supportteam of boats which kept an eye on shark

activity.The swim took Yach two hours and 29

minutes to complete.“Compared to the previous challenges,

this is actually an average time,” Yachsays.

Ideal circumstances in which to tacklesuch an activity is on a sunny, cloudlessday with a calm sea and a temperature ofabout 15°C, he advises.

Yach plans to tackle the waters of TableBay in the future.

“As long as I am healthy, I will keep onswimming,” he says.

Yach is now planning to compete in asimilar challenge between Santa CatalinaIsland and Los Angles.

This distance is about 34km.He has previously taken on the English

Channel between Britain and France.Sam Logan, the spokesperson of Wednes-

day’s event, said the R12 000 raised by thegroup of swimmers will go towards theNGO, Splash.

Through the programme, underprivi-leged children are taught water safety andhow to swim.

Some of the children were on the beachto welcome Yach and his team.

TAURIQ HASSEN

HELPLESS newborns areabandoned, removed fromtheir parents, neglected orabused on a daily basis. Butthere is hope.

Atlantic Hope is a regis-tered NPO and PBO in SeaPoint providing a safe housefor vulnerable babies requir-ing emergency or temporarycare by order of the CapeTown Children’s Court.

In March 2010 the founderof Atlantic Hope, MarilynMay, opened her heart andher home to these vulnerablebabies, as she found therewas a dire need to provide asafe place for the infants.

“This home is all about thechildren and also about thepeople who work here. Thesechildren are vulnerable andvoiceless,” she says.

Atlantic Hope provides ba-bies with “everything a childneeds”, such as nurturing,shelter, food, clothing anddoctor, hospital and clinicvisits.

According to the Chil-dren’s Act of 2005, biologicalparents are allowed a 60-daywindow period to stop theadoption procedure.

May explains that duringthis period, the children areplaced into safety care at ap-proved organisations such asAtlantic Hope.

“We are grateful to the nu-merous organisations andindividuals who have helpedus create a safe and loving

space for the most vulnera-ble members of our society,”she says.

“Atlantic Hope believesthat every child should havethe best possible start inlife.”

Atlantic Hope has been for-tunate to receive baby essen-tials such as clothing, nap-pies and formula, but is stillin dire need of financial as-sistance in order to accom-modate more children.

The home is reliant onfunding from the public orprivate sector.

To find out more about At-lantic Hope and their work,visit www.atlanti-chope.co.za.

Follow them on Twitter@AtlanticHope or visit theirFacebook page at Face-book.com/atlantichope.

Alternatively, email Mayat 2 marilyn@atlanti-chope.co.za.

Renewed hopefor babies at risk

HELP NEEDED: At-lantic Hope is stillin need of furtherfunding to financemore caregivers atthe home.

SOFT TOUCH: Babies areabandoned on a daily basis,but Atlantic Hope providesthem with a safe house.

COME APRIL, businesses tradingin liquor will have to abide by trad-ing hours and days as set out by theCity of Cape Town.

The new Liquor Trading Daysand Hours bylaw will come into ef-fect on Monday 1 April, followingthe year-long implementation ofthe Western Cape Liquor Act.

Traders will need to abide by thebylaw, regardless of the type oftrading licence they hold.

The decision was reached afteran “extensive” engagement proc-ess with the relevant stakeholdersacross the Peninsula. “The bylawseeks to strike a balance betweenthe social affects of alcohol abuse,potential disruption and the rea-sonable sale of alcohol for the hos-pitality sector,” says GarrethBloor, the Mayoral Committeemember for Economic, Environ-mental and Spatial Planning.

The trading hours for on-licence

premises is until 02:00. Businesses– housed in business-zoned and in-dustrial areas – can apply for an ex-tension until 04:00. No businesswill automatically receive the ex-emption and will need to apply forthe extension.

On-consumption premises, suchas guesthouses, places of entertain-ment and sports clubs, in residen-tial areas may trade in liquor from11:00 until 23:00, while casionosand hotels in residential areas cantrade from 11:00 until 02:00.

The bylaw stipulates that on-con-

business, industrial and agricul-tural areas will operate from 11:00until 02:00, while those operatingin alcohol sales in rural or otherad-hoc locations will operate from11:00 until 00:00.

The trading hours of specialevents such as fetes and carnivalswill be determined by the tempo-rary licence conditions.

Off-consumption businessessuch as liquor stores and shebeens,where liquor is not consumed onthe premises, may trade from 09:00until 18:00 from Monday to Satur-

day. These businesses do not quali-fy to apply for the extension of trad-ing hours.

The City encourages traders whowish to apply for the extension tosubmit applications, which will befree, as soon as possible.V Applications are available from any CityEnvironmental Health office or fromwww.capetown.gov.za.

Booze control kicks in

STRINGENT: The new liquor bylaw willaffect liquor outlets but should be wel-comed by communities. PHOTO: PHOTO24

Villager plots anew path to gloryLIAM MOSES

VILLAGER RFC have embarked on a mis-sion to restore its reputation as one of thecountry’s best rugby clubs.TheClaremont club, SouthAfrica’s second

oldest after Hamiltons RFC, fell from gracelast season when they were relegated fromthe top tier of Western Province club rugby.Villager finished stone last in Super

League A, after 16 losses, a draw and a soli-tary win, and the poor performance lead tosome introspection from the club’s leader-ship.Bruce Fraser, rugby chairperson at teh

club, says he identified several problems af-ter taking up his position near the end of theseason in August.Themost glaring problem, he says,was the

amount of money being spent on salaries ofplayers and coaches.“The current committee doesn’t want to

fall into the same trap as everyone else andhave to try and findR1.5m to pay players eve-ry year,” he says.“It’s not sustainable because there is no

money out there. Where do you find spon-sors? No-one is investing, sowe retracted themoney and none of our players and coacheswill be paid. There are no contracts, no re-tainers or match fees.”Paying top players has become standard

practice in club rugby and first team mem-bers at top clubs can earn asmuch as R14 000per month.Fraser says players were previously at-

tracted to the club solely for financial rea-sons, not a desire to play for Villager.“Fromour first team set up last year, when

were relegated to Super League B, we had a

handful of playerswho remained for this sea-son,” he says.“The rest of them have all gone. Some of

those players have played here for three tofive seasons. That formewas the biggest eye-opener. We haven’t been building club mem-bers,wehave beenbuying clubmembers. It’sabout playing for the badge and the guystanding next to you. It’s about putting thepride back into the club and the team andthat can win you games and keep you com-petitive in the league.”Since taking over, Fraser hasmade several

other changes at the club. These includescrapping the first, second and third teamsin order to form a senior squad from whichthe match day teams will be selected and fo-cusing the club’s coaches on improving theskills of individual players.“I think that has given many players, who

have been here for the last two years, re-newed energy to be involved because theynow have an equal opportunity to play in thefirst team. It’s up to them; the way the clubcan help them is by improving their skillsthem,” he says.The club has also showed faith in Rito

Hlungwane and kept the former WesternProvince lock on as head coach. Fraser saysHlungwane might not have been allowed an-other term in past years.Villager have set a top five finish and

steady improvement as their only perform-ance goals this season and aim to make itback to Super League A in five years time.The “Dirty Whites” will have an opportu-

nity to test the viability of their new systemswhen they faceHamiltons in the 137th instal-ment of South Africa’s oldest club rugby der-by on Saturday 23 March.

WP Softball to reviewtournament participationTHE Western Province Softball Federa-tion (WPSF) general councilwillmeet to-day to review its decision to not partici-pate in the annual Softball South Africa(SSA) National Provincial Champion-ship (NPC).The WPSF general council, which is

made up of the chairpersons of affiliatedclubs, elected not to take part in the tour-nament at a meeting in February (“WPSoftball still out of tourney, says letter”,People’s Post, 5 March).However, the Federation could now

overturn this decision after complaintsfrom disappointed players at a feedbackmeeting on Tuesday 5 February.According to Noore Nacerodien,

former chairperson and CEO of WPSFand former first vice-president of SSA,the initial decision in February was tak-en without the correct information be-ing given to the clubs.“Their decision was based on what

they (the chairpersons) were told. Fromthe front – the way I heard it – the NPCis not approved and they have a problemwith the interim committee,” he says.“However, there are no problems. The

NPC is valid and approved by the SouthAfrican Sport Council and OlympicCommittee (Sascoc) and the interimcommittee has been supported by Sas-coc.Wehaveno right to say that theplay-ers can’t play.”Nacerodien, who is also an interna-

tional referee, was present at the meet-ing along with about 40 officials andplayers.Nazeem Dulvie, chairperson of

WestridgeYankeesBaseball andSoftballClub, was also present at both meetings.He echoed Nacerodien’s claims, say-

ing clubs were told by the WPSF execu-tive board that the NPC was “not sanc-tioned”.“At the chairpersons meeting in Feb-

ruary some information was mis-com-municated. The understanding was thatthe NPC wasn’t sanctioned and that was

when thedecisionwasmade,” saysDulv-ie.“But when we got to the meeting on

Tuesday 5 March we were told that it isa sanctioned tournament. I don’t knowif it was mis-communicated or if the in-formation wasn’t available to them.”In the People’s Post article published

on the sameday as the feedbackmeeting,SSA’s interim chairman Basil Petersconfirmed the sport was carrying on asnormal despite the fact SSA were placedunder administration by Sascoc.“Sascoc has given us a directive that

the sport must carry on as it is. There’snobody besides the interim committeerunning the sport,” he said.Both Nacerodien and Dulvie say play-

ers areupset atmissingout on represent-ingWP, missing out on potential nation-al selection – which takes place at theNPC – and at not being consulted on thedecision.The NPC will be hosted in Kempton

Park from Thursday 21 to Sunday 24March. Should the decision to not partic-ipate be overturned, the WP will haveless than nine days to select and preparea team.“To get ourselves ready to go to Kemp-

ton Park is virtually impossible. Thereis going to a very rich, chequebookteam,” Nacerodien says.“It’s going go to be those who can gath-

er that sort of money in the space of aweek.”He adds the tournament could cost the

players around R6 000 per person.Dulvie shares the same concerns but

says he will still be voting to attend thetournament, as this is what Yankeesplayers have decided. He says 66% of theclubs will need to overturn their Tues-day 5 February decisions for WP to par-ticipate in the NPC.People’s Post attempted to contact Den-

ise Paulsen, chairperson of WPSF, forcomment but could not reach her by thetime of going to print.

SKW to play for survivalLIAM MOSES

SK WALMERS will be playing for Com-munity Cup survival when they hostGAPDespatch at theGreenPoint Track

on Saturday.The clubs are level on points, in third and

secondplaceon the table respectively,mean-ing that Saturday’s victorwill qualify for thesecond round of the competition. The loseris knocked out.SKW would normally be considered fa-

vourites for the encounter, but the pressureof the situation could make Despatch muchtougher opponents.Sedick Sieed, Walmers forward coach, be-

lieves his team will have to front up physi-cally if they are to win the game.“They have huge forwards, who will come

at us, so we must prepare thoroughly. Wemust work on our rucks, but I think we aregoing to edge them at the line-outs,” he says.“The scrums and the rucks will be impor-

tant. We have to work very, very hard.”Sieed adds the game will be like “test

match” and says his side must be tacticallydisciplined to win.“I think our guys are mentally prepared.

They are very relaxed and are up for (thechallenge).“The crowd will be with us and in our fa-

vour, and we must use it wisely. We mustplay smart rugby. If we win 3-0 its fine; wejust have to win.”SKW started the competition in fine form,

brushing aside United Bulk VillagersWorcester 49-26, at home, in their openinggamebefore coming frombehind to edgeGri-quas champions Aveng Moolmans Sishen39-32 in Kathu.However, the club’s march towards quali-

fication was halted in Durban on Saturdaywhen they lost 30-18 to Jonsson College Rov-

ers, the Moor Cup and National Club Cham-pionship holders.Walmers were out-scored by four tries to

two, with Sharks winger Wandile Mjekevucrossing twice for the home side, formerBoland forward Nikolai Blignaut scoringone try and outside centre and former WPyouth player Sergio Torrens also grabbinga try.Walmers responded with touchdowns

from Adnaan Osman and Mogamat John-son.

Sieed believes his side could have won ifnot for a few key injuries.“I think we did very well under the cir-

cumstances – the rain, wind and our inju-ries. Even our stamina lasted and we scoredin the last fewminutes of the game,” he says.“It was very physical and very close until

we were crippled by a few injuries. Travel-ling there was a bit tough and they are thechampion team. We knew that it would bea physical game.”Despatch suffereda similar fatewhen they

faced Rovers in their opening game in Dur-ban, losing 38-17 after conceding four triesand scoring two.The Eastern Cape side went on to make

light work of United Bulk Villagers Worces-ter, scoring ten tries to their opponents twoand winning the game 67-23.Despatch also foundSishen an easier pros-

pect as SKW, beating them by scoring fourtries to win 30-20.V The match will take place at the Track at 15:00 onSaturday 16 March.
