CITY CENTRE

‘Ditch the car to work’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

More City Bowl residents are ditchingtheir cars andmoving closer to work.

Almost three-quarters of surveytakers in the city centre say they live within3km of their place of work or study.

This number is up from 66% last year, asurvey by the Cape Town Central City Im-provement District (CCID) has found.

Its thirdannual residential survey studiedresidential trends in the city centre, includ-ing who lives there as well as what they do,what they want and what they need.

Living so close to work makes car-lesscommuting a serious possibility, says CCIDcommunications manager Carola Koblitz.However, more than half of these residentsstill drive to work or school.

The uptake of public transport is growingyearly. Half of the respondents say they usethe MyCiti buses – up from 37% last year.

The MyCiti bus service saw a 10% in-crease in the year up to August, confirmsmayoral committee member for transportBrett Herron.

“Given that the MyCiti service is trans-porting 59 000 passengers every day, one canassume that we have succeeded in shifting

a significant number of commuters fromtheir private cars to public transport. Obvi-ously,weneedhundreds of thousands of oth-er commuters who still drive with their carsto work, to make the same mindshift beforewe will see a decrease in traffic congestionand a drop in carbon emissions,” he says.

The CCID survey found that only 22% ofrespondents cycle in and around the citycentre, citing a lack of bike storage, notenough cycling lanes and traffic danger asreasons for not getting on their bikes moreoften.

“It will take years to develop a cycling cul-ture in the city and while the City is doing

its part in providing for cycle lanes, our resi-dents also have to play their part in nurtur-ing this mode of transport,” Herron says.

U-shaped bicycle racks are being installedacross the city so that cyclists can attachtheir bicycles there with locks, he says.

Ideally, more residents need to make theshift to public transport or cycling, Koblitzagrees.

“From a carbon emissions point of viewthe ideal is a downtown that is almost entire-ly dominated by pedestrianised, non-motor-ised and public transport. It won’t happenovernight, but we are seeing encouragingmovement in this direction every year.”

#Feesmustfall was the word of the week as students all over thecountry protested against a 10.5% increase in university fees. InCape Town students marched on parliament on Wednesday andThursday.

Larger ICU will save more childrenAn upgrade of the paediatric intensive

care unit (Picu) is underway at the RedCross War Memorial Children’s Hospital inRondebosch.

The expanded Picu will provide life-sav-ing treatment to thousands of the hospital’syoung patients.

With a dire shortage of Picu beds in SouthAfrica, the upgrade – at a cost of more thanR100m – will significantly improve intensivecare services given to critically ill and in-jured children.

Construction has officially begun and isexpected to be completed by October 2017.The new Picu will be able to accommodatemore patients than before and will have iso-lation units to avert cross-infection and aspecifically designed area for neonatal care.

The expansion and upgrade will also cre-

ate a comfortable and supportive space forparents and breastfeeding mothers. Cur-rently, family members have no privacy orspace between life-saving equipment as theyhold vigil at their child’s side. Increasedspace will also mean that staff who workvery long hours saving lives in tough condi-tions, will have adequate accommodation.These staff members work tirelessly to pro-vide clinical, educational and research ser-vices.

The current Picu at the Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital is already the largest inten-sive care unit for children in Africa. Thereis a dire need to boost its capacity due to thegrowing demand for Picu beds.

The Children’s Hospital Trust is fundrais-ing for the project cost. Government willcontribute R30m.

St Johns Road Parkto get ‘fresh look’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

AR100 000 upgradewill bring a

dedicated dog walkingarea to the St JohnsRoad Park.

A section of thepark is alreadyallocated to off-leashactivities, but due tothe number of peopleusing this park withdogs it has beendecided to make thearea larger, explainsward councillorJacques Weber.

“The park is used bya large number of resi-dents who bring their dogs to the park. Un-fortunately, due the number of dogs usingthe majority of the park it has a negative ef-fect on the grass and it struggles to grow,”he says.

A low-level fence will be installed betweenthe two areas, Weber explains.

“The area is not completely separated, butit will be clear which side is meant for what,”he says.

Some of the equipment will be movedaround to accommodate the extended dogrun area and to allow for mothers to keeptheir eyes on their children, Weber says.

General maintenance and upgrades willalso be carried out.

“This will only have a beneficial effect on

the community as we are also going to bepainting the equipment, placing some softerground under some of the equipment andgiving the park a fresh look,” he says.

The park is already a dog- and child-friendly place, where both co-exist very well,says Theodore Yach, spokesperson of theSea Point, Fresnaye and Bantry Bay (SFB)Ratepayers’ Association.

“The SFB executive committee welcomesthe City’s intention to portion off a sectionof the Park for dogs only. These City initia-tives are welcomed and will work across ourCity, so long as dog owners understand thatthey have a responsibility to other users inthe park with regard to safety and excre-ment removal,” Yach says.

#Feesmustfall was the word of the weekas students marched nationwide againstan increase in university fees last week.

After receiving the news that feeswould increase by 10.5% for next year’sacademic year, students all over the coun-try took a stand and fought against the in-crease.

Following a week of protest, presidentJacob Zuma announced on Friday therewould be no increase in fees at universi-ties across the country next year.

As protesting students marched on par-liament last week Wednesday and Thurs-day, students from a private institutionin Darling Street in the city centre werealso hindered from attending campus asprotesting students clashed with policeright on their doorstep.

One Media student at Damelin, Mikhai-lah Wagner, says she was warned by oneof her lecturers on Thursday morninglast week not to visit campus until it wassafe to do so.

While not all agree with the violence as-sociated with the students’ protest, evenstudents from private instutions say theyhave the utmost respect for their fellowstudents for standing up against the feehike.

Jason Seekoei, an IT student at Damel-in, tell People’s Post the way the protes-tors went about doing things got out ofhand and that they invaded a space notjust of the students at the campus but thevendors on the curb as well.

He says, however, he supports the stu-dents as the university fees will affect fu-ture generations. “As students we comefrom different backgrounds and thisstrike affects everyone,” he says.

Wagner says she also respects the stu-dents for sacrificing their studies to fightfor what is right.

A spokesperson from Damelin says itwas interesting to witness the march lastweek, but also scary because they werenot sure what was to happen as themarching students were chanting andvandalising properties of vendors in thestreet.

Jerome Visagie, another IT student atDamelin, says he applied to study furtherat one of the universities next year, butis worried about tuition due to the steepincrease that was expected. Visagie saysthe only way to go forward is for everyoneto stand together and make a difference.

Davin Love, also an IT student, feels thefees at both private and public institu-tions are expensive and not everyone canafford it. “If the leaders don’t take note,I say make them listen even if it’s byforce, because we are the future of thiscountry,” he says.

Protests also affectprivate students

If the leaders don’ttake note, I saymake them listeneven if it’s by force...

Motorists whose cellphones were impound-ed before October last year can get themback for half the price, but only for a limitedtime.As the City of Cape Town’s traffic service

prepares to auction the first 500 impoundedcellphones, theCity’s safety and security di-rectorate has decided to give motorists onelast opportunity to reclaim their devices be-fore the hammer falls.Officials have impounded thousands of

cellphones in terms of the City’s traffic by-law since its introduction in July 2012.Currently, there are about 6000 cell-

phones in storage at the City’s traffic poundin Ndabeni.By law, the City is allowed to sell any im-

pounded property within three months ofthe impoundment date. However, there has

been a delaywith the disposal of cellphones,primarily because the City had to wait forthe processes relating to the fines attachedto the contravention to run their full coursein the courts, as well as due to the need toremove personal data before the device canbe sold on auction.Motorists whose devices were impound-

ed between 1 July 2012 and 30 Septemberlast year will be charged a reduced im-poundment release fee of R550 should theywish to reclaim their property. They are notrequired topay theaccompanying fine to re-claim their phones.The offer is valid until the end of Novem-

ber. The discount does not apply to im-poundments after September last year;these offenders will have to pay the full im-poundment release fee of R1100.

Surfers get moreshowers on PromNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Areallocation of funding will provide forthe installation of showers for surfers

along the Sea Point Promenade.The budget of R40 000 was allocated for

the installation of benches at Milton beach.However, the project need not be imple-mented anymore as the benches will be pro-cured through available funding for the cur-rent phase of the Sea Point Promenade up-grade.

The multimillion rand upgrade to the hasseen the walkway repaved and landscapingof play areas improved. The upgrade hasbeen completed between the Pavilion andMilton Road, including improvements tosections in Mouille Point. Work is sched-uled to continue along the rest of the Prome-nade.

The funds will now be diverted to aproject to install showers, in addressing a“dire need”.

An additional amount of R15 000, whichhad not been spent by the subcouncil in thelast financial year, will also be used for theshowers.

Ward councillor Jacques Weber says hehas revived a request by the community forthe installation of showers along the Prome-nade.

“There was a request by the surfing com-munity to install some more showers at thesurfing spots for them to use,” he explains.

“The Promenade is an open space andover the last two years we have tried to andare constantly trying to accommodate ev-eryone. The surfing community uses mostof the beaches in the area and the installa-tion of more showers will allow them torinse off the sea water after surfing.”

MyCiti bus to go greenerBiofuel and electric buses are on the cardsfor the MyCiTi bus service in the near fu-ture.

The City of Cape Town announced this onthe last day of the African Union of PublicTransport workshop on best practice.

The importance of alternative fuel forpublic transport counted among the top dis-cussion points during the final round ofcase study sessions at the workshop.

Brett Herron, mayoral committee mem-ber for transport, says: “While the MyCitibus service has improved the quality of lifeof our residents through access to afforda-ble, decent and safe public transport, we

now also have the responsibility to lowerour carbon emissions and the impact of pol-lution.

“As such the City will issue a tender forthe procurement of electric buses withinthe next few months.”

The City is also undertaking a researchproject into biofuels.

Experts in alternative fuel who attendedthe workshop cited that cities will represent80% of energy use and carbon emissions by2025.

Currently, 97% of public transport acrossthe world operates on diesel, contributingto pollution and climate change.

Space to inspire womenNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Books for, by and about women.This is the aim behind the

Woman Zone Library Hub, wherebooks will be kept to inspire andeducate women. The book topicswill cover a vast range of women’sinterests, skills and achievements.“What we’re all about is embrac-

ing,” says chief librarian Beryl Ei-chenberger. “That means embrac-ing cultures, religions and race. Atheart, we’re all the same.”Thought to be a first for Cape

Town, if not for South Africa, thelibrary has taken its lead from theGlasgow Women’s Library, whichhas a 21-year history, includeslending facilities and collections ofartefacts and is run entirely by vol-unteers.Based on the ground floor of Art-

scape, the library is currently onlya reference library and doesn’tlend out books.But it is a safe, welcoming space

to read, learn and source informa-tion, Eichenberger says.“We’re giving people who ha-

ven’t had an opportunity to accessbooks that opportunity. We’rebringing women together,” shesays.It’s a project of Woman Zone, a

movement designed to bring to-gether all women from the MotherCity’s cultural kaleidoscope, sharestories and experiences and high-light their achievements, and isrunbyvolunteers. The 600 books inthe library have been catalogued

and categorised by an experiencedteam of former librarians, Eichen-berger says.“We encourage people to come

here during their lunch hours andread. We’ll bookmark the page youwere reading and record it, so thatnext time you can carry on,” shesays.The library hub is designed as a

centre where women can come notonly to read but to hold smallwork-shops, book launches, poetry read-ings or meetings and is the regularvenue for a book club and beauty

therapy training, Eichenbergersays.But she hopes the space will

grow even more.“This is a unique space devoted

towomen’s interests. It’s a space tocome and mix with others, tobridge the cultural divide, discuss,share and learn,” she says.The library is open on Thurs-

days and Fridays from 11:00 to14:00, or by appointment.V For more information email library@womanzonect.co.za or visit Women ZoneCT on Facebook

When someone is diagnosedwith breast cancer a lot

changes for her.The treatment for breast can-

cer is often life-saving. Lesswell-known is that this treat-ment takes the patient on a trau-matic journey that can scar herappearance and, as a result, itoften scars self-image.A turning point can be a Look

Good Feel Better (LGFB) work-shop, like the one recently heldat Groote Schuur Hospital.LGFB is a non-profit organi-

sation that holds workshops forcancer patients around thecountry to show themhow to ad-dress the appearance-relatedside effects of treatment inapos-itive and practical way.Throughout Breast Cancer

Awareness Month LGFB volun-teers are speaking about howtheir work helps cancer pa-tients to care for their skin.Tenworkshops are being held

at hospitals and clinics acrossCape Town this month and an-other 10 will be held in Novem-ber – at Groote Schuur, Tyger-berg, N1 City, the Constantia-berg Haematology unit,Mediclinic Panorama, Rondeb-osch medical centre, Vergele-gen and Vincent Pallotti clinicsand Cape Gate medical centre.Helen Ohlhoff, a regional co-

ordinator of LGFB, says work-shop participants are taughtabout caring for the skin andhow to apply skincare products.“Participants learnaboutmake-up to make themselves lookgood and feel confident – whichdoctors say contributes enor-mously to the healing process.Participants are given a rangeof products to soothe and healtheir skin and advised on howto use them,” she says.The workshops also provide

an opportunity to connect withother women undergoing thesame treatments.Dr Liana Roodt, who special-

During the recent student protests, much has been saidabout privilege, especially white privilege.

We are so comfortable with the concept of “underprivi-leged”, but the very mention of privilege has us blockingour ears.

Privilege is not only white; it is the black student whotweets and tells her fellows they should study at UWC in-stead of UCT if they don’t have money. Privilege is not onlywealth; it is being able to comfortably afford to feed yourfamily. Privilege is not only ignorance; it is the politicianwho earns enough to pay back several students loans.

Privilege does not mean you did not work hard for whatyou have. Privilege does not mean you did not face hardtimes. Privilege does not mean you have to give what youhave to someone else.

Privilege means you were afforded opportunities thatsomeone else was not – either through your race, wealthor affiliations. It is not measured in comparison to whatthose with the most have, rather to what those with the leasthave. It is as simple as being schooled in your mothertongue.

You do not have to feel guilty or defensive over your privi-lege. You have to acknowledge it.

What you are acknowledging is that another person’s ex-perience is valid and important, even though it is differentfrom yours. You cannot make assumptions about their ex-perience based on your life; even more so when comingfrom a radically different background. This includes notpassing comments to say “poor people are lazy” or how inyour day things were worse. These statements attempt toreduce the value of another’s experience.

Once you have acknowledged your privilege, it falls toyou to use it to make changes. Use your influence to makeeconomic and legislative changes. Stand supportive withthose who are fighting for equal opportunities. Share yourwealth and opportunities with those who do not, and maynever, have access to them.

With privilege comes responsibility.

Student protestsleave questionsThe last few days have been a hectic onefor one and all living in or visitingSouth Africa as university students tookto the campuses, the streets, the gates ofparliament and almost to the front doorof the Union buildings.

We must give credit to our mediacrews risking life, limb, liberty andproperty in bringing us the events thatat stages developed from peacefulness toviolence.

As events unfolded there must bequestions asked, but the big questionsare: Who is going to ask these questionsand who is going to answer them?

Why did student leaders not identifythemselves and their status in the mediaand then inform those in power of thepurpose of their protest and what theyexpect in response?

Why did our minister of highereducation not address the students inperson and respond or rather make acommitment to respond to the studentsdemands?

Why were the police officers on theground not interviewed to state whattheir function was in terms of illegalgatherings and explain why they wereexecuting actions as they unfolded?

Why did our president and the studentleaders, the ministers and the universityheads not meet straight after the minis-ter of finance’s speech on Thursday to

prepare themselves for the Fridaygathering of students at the Unionbuildings?

Why then, in relation to this, did ittake so long to address the studentswhile the long waiting period onlyfuelled and heightened tensions?

Why did the police not take thenecessary action when rocks and stoneswere thrown at them and journalists, asthis is a criminal act and could have ledto death and serious bodily harm? Or isthis the new method to deal with violentprotest, dodging and diving the missles?

Why did the elected student leadersnot come to the fore and condemn theacts of violence and distance themselvesfrom these who were perpetratingcriminal acts?

Why did the government take theirtime and at leisure responded to thequestions raised by the students?

And my final question: Why were ouropposition politicians so silent andinvisible in the whole matter? This issueof national importance to students andall South Africans could have been dealtwith at the genesis stages and taken allthat has happened and one answersthese questions then there is a finalcritical question: What is the wayforward from the lessons identified?

KEITH BLAKEOttery

Just minutes to clean up rubbishWhat is the problem with residents who,after their bins have been emptied,ignore the rubbish which has been leftbehind and littering the pavements afterthe homeless people have ravaged theirbins?

Yes, I realise it is not the residentswho put it there, but surely we shouldall have enough pride in our communityto pick it up and put it back in our bins?

The dustbin men do not have time toclean up as they move down the street,yet it only takes a few minutes forhomeowners to do so.

Just how many people take the time toclean out their dirty bins? I so oftenpass many bins which are filthy andvery unhygienic.

LYNN VAN LEEVE,Simonstown

City is sorryfor vehiclelicence delayThe letter “Don’t ‘improve’ it break it”(20 October) refers: We apologise for anyinconvenience that has been caused.

The problem did not arise in the Citycouncil processes. The challenges thathave arisen from the transfer of theelectronic national administration trafficinformation system (eNaTIS) between thenational department of transport and theroad traffic management centre (RTMC)have affected renewal notices across thecountry and continue to do so.

As a courtesy, the RTMC, which is anational agency, posts renewal noticesabout six weeks before car licencerenewals are due, but it has always beenthe duty of the car owner to renew thelicence before it expires.

Municipalities implement the carregistration and licensing function onbehalf of provincial governments. Assuch, the City is a registering authorityon behalf of the Western Cape govern-ment and as soon as we were informedthat no renewal notices had been postedby the RTMC, we immediately startedputting in place plans.

We have, as timeously as possible, beencommunicating through a broad spec-trum of media over the past weeks, haveincreased our capacity for car registra-tions online, have enhanced signage atour customer offices and are in commu-nication with senior provincial govern-ment management to obtain the necessa-ry authority from the department oftransport to extend the 21-day graceperiod which applies to licence renewals.

The situation is being monitored and,where necessary, we will allocate stafffrom other offices to the busier offices.

We would like to again emphasise thatmotorists whose licence discs will expireon 31 October and are renewable by 21November will also not be receivingrenewal notices.

PEOPLE'S POST | ATLANTIC SEABOARD | CITY EDITIONTuesday, 27 October 2015 SPORT 11

Golf day to support sport projectsPlay Sport4Life (PS4L) will be hosting its

first charity golf day on 20 Novemberto raise funds for community sport pro-

jects in the Kensington, Factreton and Mait-land areas.

The event will be held at the Mowbray GolfClub, with PS4L still finalising and wrap-ping up negotiations with a few South Afri-can sports personalities to support the orga-nisation on the day.

A number of major sponsors have alsojoined the party, namely FNB, Engen andStreamline Agencies as major sponsors andthe many prizes on offer will include golfingand sports equipment.

Miles October, head of PS4L, says the orga-nisation has gone ahead in leaps and boundssince it started last year.

“It has been an eventful first year forPS4L, but we are just getting started,” hesaid.

“Thus far, we have made great strides inbringing the local communities together andforging new friendships through our multi-faceted sports programmes and initiativesin the Kensington, Factreton and Maitlandareas.

“PS4L has grown tremendously as an NPOsince we were established in 2014. Our soc-cer and cricket tournament for juniors in

the Factreton area was an unqualified suc-cess. We had over 1000 kids from the areaparticipating.

“But there is a mountain of work to bedone if we want to achieve our objectives inthe community.

“However, nothing comes without a cost.There are overheads involved in organisingour community events and we are no differ-ent from other NPOs – we need support. ThePS4L golf day will help us help the kids inthe community.”

The focus of the organisation at this stageis the Kensington, Factreton and Winder-mere areas, but it plans to launch communi-

ty projects elsewhere in areas of needaround Cape Town.

In addition to the major sponsorships,they have also secured a number of othercorporates and individuals to sponsor ahole, prizes and enter a team.

“The Mowbray course is one of the mostpopular and scenic courses in the Peninsula.It will make for a great day for a great cause.The event will culminate with a prize-givingceremony and auction at the 19th hole,” Oc-tober said.V Contact Nazlie Dollie on 071 3866 573 or na­zlie@ps4l.org.za if you would like more informationabout how to enter a team to participate.

The City of Cape Town’s council will consid-er a recommendation made by its mayoralcommittee to host the HSBC World SevensSeries at the Cape Town Stadium.

Tickets for the event are already on sale,with the final day of the two-day event al-ready sold out, but the City and the SouthAfrican Rugby Union (Saru) were yet to ironout the final details for the December event.

The mayoral committee has recommend-ed that the council note the cash donationmade by the Western Cape government toSaru as well as to note their waivering of allcosts related to their emergency medical ser-vices.

It was also recommended that council con-sider waiving the stadium costs.

The City has also been asked to open thefan walk as part of the transport plan for thetwo days.

“I look forward to a positive outcome inthe final approval process by council.

“This is a popular rugby series and theCity of Cape Town is proud to be chosen asthe host city to help elevate the status of theseries. We anticipate that the event will at-tract a huge contingent of international me-dia which will further help to promote thestatus of Cape Town as an events destinationof choice,” said Garreth Bloor, mayoral com-mittee member for tourism, events and eco-nomic development.

The South African leg of the World SevensSeries takes place on 12 and 13 December.

Normies softball club showed no fearwhen it took on St Martins in a tightlycontested match at Turfhall Stadium

in Athlone on Saturday.The newcomers, whowere promoted from

major league to super league division de-spite ending third last season, started on ahigh note and proved to be no walk-over, re-gardless of their forfeit against Falcons lastweek due to a shortage of players.With a shaky start by St Martins they

managed to only score one run, leaving run-ners on base unable to score.This allowed their opponents to equalise

early with both teams scoring one run each.The second innings was not much differ-

ent in terms of scoring. St Martins took thelead by one run and kept Normies scorelesswith thehelp of their pitcherShanineGroep-ies.The score remained close with Normies

scoring in the third innings, but St Martinswere still leading and got their team to scoretwo runs earlier in the third innings, takingthe score to 4-2.During the fourth innings, Normies made

the change in pitchers with Shamiera Ry-lands who relieved Amy Minnies and keptSt Martins scoreless yet again.This produced a fighting spirit in the new-

comers, who then scored another run, mak-ing it 4-3. They continued fighting to keep StMartins scoreless.The Bishop Lavis side, whose nerves were

shot, made error after error and concededthree runs, giving Normies an opportunityto take the lead.But the battle was far from over as StMar-

tins redeemed themselves, scoring four runsin their last turn at bat, giving away no runsto their opponents.The final score was 8-6 with St Martins

coming out victorious.In other results, Falcons defeated VOB

with a convincing 11-0 victory, while Glen-thorn As whipped Westridge Yankees 20-1.

Normies put up a brave fight
