Lane designs en routeMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Cyclists, joggers and walkers from Con-stantia to Westlake will soon have moreto look forward to.
This follows plans to construct a Non-Mo-torised Transport (NMT) lane along Spaan-schemat River Road.
The grand plan by the City of Cape Townis currently being designed and is aimed atcreating a safer alternative for residents us-ing this road.
Ward 62 councillor Elizabeth Brunettesays the conceptual designs are being drawnup.
She explains the conceptual plan is for the
new lanes to be placed on either side ofSpaanschematRiverRoad starting at theLa-dies Mile Road intersection.
“It will stretch all the way along Spaan-schemat and includes Orpen Road,” shesays.
The new lanes are to consist of cycle lanesand a walkway for pedestrians.
Brunette says there have been several re-quests for a safer alternative as the road iswidely used by residents.
“In this ward, there is no current NMTroute. This will provide a safer way for resi-dents to enjoy their surroundings,” she says.
As the conceptual designs have not yetbeen finalised there is no indication of theestimated costs.
With various popular destinations includ-ing Groot Constantia, Kirstenbosch Gar-dens and access points to Table MountainNational Park, Brunette says ward 62 is per-fectly placed for the new lane.
The conceptual idea is for the new lane tobe separate to the road by using the verges.The new lane is also to consist of a barrierbetween pedestrians and vehicles.
Due to recent work along SpaanschematRiver Road near Nova Constantia, the verg-es have now been made wider.
Brunette explains due to water runningdown the slopes, the spaces along the sideof the road collapsed.
“Repair work has been completed but up-grades to this part of the road will be includ-
ed in the new NMT lane.Due to plans for traffic calming measures
in Constantia, horse riders along HohenhortAvenue will soon have a closer place tocross.
The new crossing is being funded from theward allocation budget.
Due to the activities along two greenbelts,Brunette says horse riders need a safe placeto cross.
Construction of the new crossing is esti-mated to cost R85 000 and will start nextmonth.V What are your thoughts on NMT lanes in Constantia?Do you believe they will be a safer alternative for someroad users? Starting with the word “Post”, SMS yourthoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.
PROPOSAL: Designs are being drawn upfor a NonMotorised Transport (NMT)lane along Spaanschemat River Road.

STREET PEOPLE PROGRAMME
Plan to assist homelessA 56-strong team will be heading to the
streets in a bid to help the homelessturn their lives around.
Council’s Social Development and EarlyChildhood Development Directorate re-cently held an induction programme for thenew fieldworkers and clerkswho have beenemployed through the Expanded PublicWorks Programme (EPWP) to help imple-ment the directorate’s Street People Pro-gramme.R2.5m is being spent on the initiative,
council officials confirm.An induction programme was recently
held for 49 fieldworkers and seven clerkswho will be employed by the Street PeopleProgramme until the first quarter of nextyear.The fieldworkers’ main objective will be
to engage with street people with a view toproviding assistance to those who want toget off the streets.Their tasks will include monitoring the
number of street people in their respective
areas; identifying individual needs, includ-ing health issues and their prospects of re-turning home; identifying new arrivals andusing resources available to discouragethem from making a home on the streets;and facilitating other services required andtransfer to assessment centres.Suzette Little, the Mayoral Committee
member for Social Development and EarlyChildhood Development, says the directo-rate aims to employ additional fieldworkersduring the course of this financial year,once more funding becomes available.Between April last year and June, 116
fieldworkers were employed. Plans are alsoin place to appoint 24 permanent fieldwork-ers.“The appointment of fieldworkers is cru-
cial in our engagement with street people,”Little says.“They are at the coal face on a daily basis
and are able to help effect meaningfulchange in the lives of those who find them-selves on the street and who are looking for
a way out. The beauty of this initiative isthat we are not only helping people on thestreet.“We are also addressing unemployment
through the appointment of the fieldwork-ers – thus tackling two very important chal-lenges in our city.”In addition, the directorate will continue
providing employment opportunities forstreet people through the EPWP cleaningproject.In the previous financial year, 500 street
people were employed to clean and main-tain parks, cemeteries and kramats forthree months.“We held a workshop earlier this year
where many street people indicated thatthey want to get off the streets, but face sev-eral challenges including unemployment.By creating these opportunities through theEPWP, we are able to put them on a paththat helps restore their dignity and theirconfidence, which in turn assists the reinte-gration process,” Little says.
More road deaths over pay day weekendsTwelve people die on average every pay dayweekend on the province’s roads alone.This is according to Donald Grant, pro-
vincial minister of transport and publicworks.Analyses of this year’s fatalities data indi-
cates that road deaths on pay day weekendsspike by as much as 23.6% compared to oth-er weekends.“While, on average, 3.6 people are killed
every day onWestern Cape roads, this risesto an average of 6.2 people per day over payday weekends,” he says.Last month was the worst weekend re-
corded this year, with 26 fatalities over theweekend of 1 August. The following pay dayweekend, which started on 29 August, sawa further 20 people killed, Grant confirms.He advises motorists, pedestrians and
road users to not become another statisticby taking the necessary precautions.“Do not mix alcohol and road use,” Grant
warns.“Driving or walking on the roads while
intoxicated is a quickway to an early grave.Use public transport if you intend drinkingalcohol.”If you are travelling in a vehicle, always
wear your seatbelt and never exceed thespeed limit, he continues.“Exercise extreme caution while driving
on Fridays from 18:00 until midnight, onSaturdays from 06:00 until 10:00, on Satur-days from 18:00 until 04:00 and on Sundaysfrom 15:00 until 21:00.”Greater mobility and increased access to
alcohol are reflected in spikes in the deathrate over pay day weekends, Grant adds.“While further data analysis is required
to isolate all of the factors involved, the pub-lic is warned to please exercise extra cau-tion over this time.”

New crime fighting strategyMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Sector forums in the Wynberg police pre-cinct are gearing up to take a new ap-proach to combat crime.
Speaking during a Community Police Fo-rum (CPF) meeting, station commanderBrigadier Riaan Booysen highlighted thesuccesses of the Constantia Watch in Sector4.
In a presentation, Booysen created a com-parison between the five sectors. In Sector4, there has been a major reduction in crimeand Booysen said this was reflective of thework done by the watch.
Mike Voortman, chairperson of the sector,also gave a presentation on initiatives un-dertaken by Constantia residents.
He explained due to a spate of crimes a fewyears ago the community decided somethingneeded to be done.
“We realised that many of the residentswere swallows and were only in Cape Townduring the summer months. Many wouldnot be available for patrolling, so we askedfor financial contributions,” Voortman said.
The watch registered as a public benefitorganisation and street committees wereformed.
Voortman said the watch realised theyneeded to be one step ahead of criminals. Af-ter assessing the model by the Bergvliet,Kreupelbosch and Meadowridge (BKM)neighbourhood watch they found that Li-cence Plate Recognition (LPR) and overheadcameras would be a useful tool.
“We started to raise funds and today wehave an effective and sustainable systemwhich not only alerts us about criminals buthas helped to provide evidence which has as-
sisted in convictions,” Voortman explained.Booysen said he believed this was the win-
ning recipe.“We ask the communities to come forward
and volunteer their help. If we can duplicatethis system in all sectors, we could see a bigchange,” he urged.
During questioning, a neighbourhoodwatch member from Wynberg East said so-cio-economic conditions played a role in thepurchase of cameras.
“The value of a camera system is unques-tionable but not everybody in our communi-ty would be able to assist with funding,” hesaid.
A resident in Wynberg West also raisedconcerns about the socio-economic status oftheir sector and said slumlords were theirbiggest concern.
“We are a diverse community but we alsohave more rentals then any other sectors.Many buildings have deteriorated intobrothels and drug houses. How do we get asystem like this,” he asked.
Voortman said each community had itsown problems and the initiative in Constan-tia was not a “one size fits all”.
“But you have to mobilise your communi-ty. Start your watches, get your radio net-work up and running and take it fromthere,” he said.
With the Constantia Watch being part ofthe Constantia Valley Watches Association(CVWA), Voortman explained they wereable to share resources.
He said the demographics and crime is-sues in Wynberg East were similar to South-field and with this partnership they wereable to share resources.
CPF chairperson Shamila Nicholas said inaddition they were tackling the main issues
faced by the precinct.This includes awareness, operational ef-
fectiveness and transparency.She explained there are currently 1 954
members registered on the neighbourhoodwatch database. “Whether they are activelyparticipating is another thing and one of our
objectives is to create better coordinationbetween watches.”
Residents and watches interested can pro-vide their contact details to the CPF.V Do you think a camera system in the Wynberg pre-cinct will help curb crime? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

WARD BUDGET SHAPE-UP
Plans fornew yearMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Public open spaces, traffic calmingmeasures and greenbelts will takecentre stage inWard 62 for the next
financial year.Ward councillor Elizabeth Brunette
has revealed how she has divided up theward allocations funds for variousprojects in her ward.She says R190 000 has been allocated to
implementing traffic calmingmeasures.Along with a crossing on Hohenort Ave-nue, speed bumps will be installed inVernon Road.Brunette explains the road which is
usedbyparentswho transport their chil-dren to Norman Henshilwood HighSchool has become increasingly busyand the bumps were aimed at slowingdown the traffic.Next on the list is themaintenance and
improvement of various open spaces.Brunette explains cleaning up dog pooand installing signage are among thethings which take up the most money.“Currently workers in the greenbelt
collect up to 72kg of dog poo in a week.The funding will go towards poo bins,”she says.The bins will be equippedwith bags so
dog walkers can dispose of the excre-ment.For public spaces along Alphen Drive,
Brunette says she will fund the installa-tion of bicycle frames.
She explains many residents use theirvehicles to access these spaces whenparking areas are full.“I believe that if peoplehada safe place
to store their bicycles less of themwoulduse their cars. This would help by pre-venting parking areas from becomingclogged and take cars off the roads,” sheexplains.Each year, part of the ward allocation
funds are donated toWynbergLibrary toassist them to expand their record collec-tion.Brunette says as libraries do not re-
ceive capital budget they often have toraise the funds themselves.The library will receive R40 000.A total of R200 000 will go to the em-
ployment of a Law Enforcement officerwho will be stationed in Wynberg.Brunette explains along with three
other officers, this officer will focus onbylaw infringements in the ward.“There are four councillors in the Pro-
tea Subcouncil which fund an officereach. They work in pairs and cover allfour wards,” she explains.Part of the funding will also be used
for river wardens who along with theFriendsofConstantiaValleyGreenBeltswill take care of green lungs.Brunette says the projects funded by
the ward allocation is based on what isneeded in the area and suggestions fromratepayer organisations. “I look at all ofthem and try best to accommodate whatI can with the limited funds,” she adds.

WARNING SIGNALS
Smoke alertUp to R35m could be
saved by the City ofCape Town thanks to
a new smoke detectiontechnology system.
The method detects ille-gal stormwater and sewercross-connections.
Testing was conductedin various parts of the cityand under different condi-tions to determine the sys-tem’s efficacy last week,council officials say.
Mayoral Committeemember for Utility Servic-es Ernest Sonnenberg saysthe system is ready for usein detecting illegal dis-charges into the seweragesystem.
“The introduction of thesmoke testing technologyis likely to result in signifi-cant savings for ratepayers,” he says.
The system involves pumping smoke intothe local sewerage system to locate inappro-priate stormwarter admissions into thesewerage system.
“Previously it was not possible to detector pinpoint where this was taking placewithout canvassing a large number of prop-erties. Now Water and Sanitation officialscan simply walk down the street and notethe location of these cross-connectionsbased on the presence of plumes of smoke,”Sonnenberg says.
If unsanctioned connections are foundthe property owners will be given a compli-ance order to rectify the matter within astipulated period.
Those who do not comply will be fined interms of the Wastewater Bylaw.
“Illegal connections are problematic be-cause especially during wet weather excess
water can stretch the capacity of the waste-water conveyance systems. Not only canthis result in overflows, but the City’swastewater treatment plants are beingforced to process water that otherwiseshould not have been treated,” Sonnenbergexplains.
“Limiting the amount of water that is un-necessarily treated every year will improvethe quality of effluent that enters the envi-ronment. And not only will the environ-mental benefit be significant, but unpleas-ant overflows which could cause health is-sues and discomfort will also be limitedresulting in significant savings for ratepay-ers.”
Sonnenberg urges residents to cooperatewith officials who issue notices if contra-vention exists on their properties.
“It is only with your collaboration thatthis problem can be effectively tackled.”

proved the partnership between counciland Lifesaving Western Province to en-sure that lifesaving serviceswill be avail-able for the upcoming 2014/15 summerseason.While themunicipality is respon-sible for ensuring the safety of beach us-ers throughout the year, the peak sum-mer season from October to Februarysees an increased number of seaside visi-torswhich requires additional life guard-ing resources, council officials say in astatement. The City will contribute R3,5m to LifesavingWestern Province to “en-able the organisation to fulfil its obliga-tion of ensuring safety on the beaches”,says Mayoral Committee member forCommunity Services and Special
Projects Belinda Walker.“Trained and competent lifeguards are
one of the most critical requirements forsafety at amenities. Lifesaving WesternProvince has a pool of well trained andqualified lifeguardswho are able to deliv-er an essential service,” she says.This partnershipwill allow for a combi-
nation of volunteer and paid accreditedlifeguards for the 2014/15 season.For the upcoming summer period,
council’s Safety and Security directoratewill train a number of lifeguards to bequalified as volunteer Law Enforcementofficers. They will have powers to confis-cate liquor and arrest offenders who donot obey instructions from lifeguards.The intention is that lifeguards will in-creasingly be trained as law enforcementofficers and certified to enforce City by-laws on beaches.

Guidelinesfor slaughterWith the annual Islamic celebration
of Eid-ul-adha (Eid of Sacrifice)days away, guidelines for humane
slaughtering have been issued.This is according to a statement by the
Cape of Good Hope SPCA, which also saysthe celebration takes place between Friday3 and Monday 6 October.The SPCA is calling on those planning to
slaughter sheep or cattle to follow theseguidelines to ensure the animals do not suf-fer unnecessarily.According to the Animals Protection Act
(No.71 of 1962):. All animals must be confined in such
a manner that allows them adequate space,ventilation, shelter, food and water;
. No animal should be picked up by itsfleece, dragged, chased or prodded;
. Animals should be restrained humane-ly while being transported and when beingslaughtered;
. No animal should be tied by its legswith bailing twine and crammed into theback of car boots or laid on their sides onthe back of bakkies;
. When due to be slaughtered, animalsshould be laid on their sides and not ontheir backs to avoid distress. Animalsshould also not be forced to stand or kneelduring slaughter;
. Knives used for the slaughtermust alsoremain extremely sharp so that the slaugh-tering remains as humane as possible;
. Only experienced people should per-form the slaughtering. Inexperienced lay
personswho attempt to perform the slaugh-ters often cause horrific trauma and painto the animal.The SPCA advises individuals who are
inexperienced, but want to participate inQurbani, to contact the SPCA inspectorateon (021) 700 4158/59 or after hours on083 326 1604 for referral to such establish-ments.Anyone who wishes to perform Qurbani
at their residential premises are urged toensure that animals are slaughtered hu-manely by an experienced person andmustobtain permission from their local City ofCape Town environmental health office.The SPCA strongly discourages the slaugh-ter of cattle in places without adequate in-frastructure to adequately restrain the ani-mals prior to slaughter.The Muslim Judicial Council (MJC), the
Halaal Trust and local farm owners haveonce again collectively committed to en-sure Eid-ul-adha is held not only in accord-ance with the Muslim religion and culture,but also in accordance with the law.Moyo Ndukwana, SPCA inspectorate
manager, says: “We would like to extendour gratitude to the MJC and farm ownersfor their willingness towork together to en-sure that all animals are treated with re-spect and compassion during this time.”SPCA inspectorswill be stationed at Qur-
bani farms to ensure animals are sacrificedhumanely and will encourage and offer topre- or post-stun animals to facilitate this.They will also monitor proceedings.
