OCEAN VIEW: CITY INVESTIGATES CLAIMS

Mayor’s project ‘on hold’MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The City of Cape Town haslaunched an investigation in-to the allegations of misman-

agement of the Mayor’s Urban Re-generation Programme in OceanView.This follows concerns raised by

the Ocean View Civic Association(OVCA) about the lack of progressand the state of the central busi-ness district.Derelict buildings occupied by

vagrants, drug users and prosti-tutes in the Ocean View CentralBusiness District (CBD) have resi-dents fuming.OVCA chairperson Oliver Cas-

tro says the dilapidated buildingshave createdahaven for criminals.The association raised questions

about the inclusion of the CBD inthe Mayor’s Urban RegenerationProgramme (Murp).The project, which was initiated

by Mayor Patricia de Lille in 2012,is aimed at improving the safety,quality of life and the socio-eco-nomic situation in various areas,including Ocean View.Castro explains in the past two

years, there have been three Murpmanagers and despite several dis-cussionsabout the revitalisationofthe CBD, nothing has happened.However, De Lille’s spokesper-

son SollyMalatsi says the City wasnot aware of these claims and willbe investigating it.OVCA deputy chairperson

Patrick Josephs explains the build-ings which make up the CBD wereinitially owned by the City but lat-er sold to a private developer.“The owner has since died and

wehaveno ideawhat is happening.The buildings have been going tothe dogs for years and despite theMurp project, there is noprogress,” he says.Josephs reminisces about the

once thriving CBD and says it usedto consist of a cinema, a supermar-ket and various other community-

owned stores. The association wasalso informed that the City’s legaldepartment was now trying to buythe buildings back to refurbishedit.Malatsi could not confirm this.Josephs highlights the illegal

dumping of boats and domesticwaste. Ashe points out holes in thewalls of the old cinema, a man ad-monishes him for coming into theCBD.

“What do you want here?” he de-mands. “This is our house. If youwant a tour, I will give you one.Just go away,” he shouts.Josephs says the man is one of

the many drug users sleeping inthe buildings at night.Castro says while “officials drag

their feet” Ocean View residentsare suffering. “To get to LongbeachMall to buy a few groceries, resi-dents have to pay exorbitant taxi

fares and travel several kilome-tres.Manyof themresort to buyingfood at the spaza shops which iscosting them severely,” he says.Malatsi explains the project con-

sists of various stages.“The first stage includes a sur-

vey of the area to establish prob-lems which could be addressedthrough a community action plan.This is the stage that Ocean Viewis at,” he says.

Malatsi adds the communitywillbe responsible for identifying fo-cus areas for the project.“The objective is to provide a

platform for more effective publicand private investment. These fu-ture investments will be includedinto the City’s Integrated Develop-ment Plan,” he says.V SMS your thoughts! Starting with theword “Post” SMS your comments to 32516.SMSes cost R1.

Life made easier for the blindTAURIQ HASSEN

@TauriqHassen

Onemorning, she woke up andwas una-ble to see. The devastation of wakingup blind was an experience Jennifer

Fleischmann had to overcome quickly.A visit to the doctor found she had glauco-

ma. Her optic nerves were damaged.The Sea Point resident had to learn braille

to move forward with her life.She has now been blind for nearly a year

and relies solely on braille to completemanyof her daily duties as a receptionist at theLeague of the Friends of the Blind (Lofob).“In the beginning I was very lost as I could

not read or write. I worked in the hotel in-dustry, where I was required to performthese basic duties daily,” Fleischmann says.“I had to quickly adapt to this way of life.”She felt that feeling her way around in the

dark needed to be polished off by learningthe technique of braille and started a courseat Lofob.

Taking messages, answering the phoneand reading a book are some of the activitieswhich require the ability to understandbraille.“It’s everything to me; without braille I

think I would be lost,” she says.Her story ties in with a month dedicated

to braille, asWorldBraille Daywas celebrat-ed on Saturday 4 January.Lofob executive director Armand Bam

says braille forms an integral part of the in-dependence development services.“Braille is one of the main reasons blind

people are literate and able to enjoy theirrights enshrined in the South African Con-stitution,” Bam says.World Braille Day celebrates the life of the

late Louis Braille and pays tribute to him forthe “ingenious script” he invented that stilltransforms lives today.“The magic of the six dots known as the

system of Braille is the key to independencefor blind and visually impaired persons. Itis the means to education, employment andpleasure,” Bam says.The past few years have seen a decrease

in the number of blind persons who arebraille literate, raising the question aroundthe importance and relevance of braille ina world overtaken by modern technology.This has prompted Lofob to embark on a

braille awareness programme at variousschools.“Nothing beats the actual experience of

holdingand feeling abook, turning its pages,reading its text, and even smelling its paper.It can never be replaced by any kind of tech-nology,” Bam says.Adrian Lupe (42) from Parkwood Estate

forms part of the decreasing number of visu-ally impaired people who struggle to under-stand braille.He lost his sight at the age of 22 while

working in a welding factory and has sincebeen solely reliant on the voices of others.“You start mastering your ability of feel-

ing, but at the same time you struggle in cer-tain aspects, especially when nobody isaround to assist you,” he says.Lupe says reading a book or operating a

computer and telephone are some of the ac-tivities which have been missing from hisdaily life for nearly 20 years.“I just had to get used to living in the dark.

It was not easy, but I certainly did not haveanother choice,” he says.V The Lofob Braille Awareness Programme will takeplace from Monday 27 until Friday 31 January. For moreinformation about these and other related activitiescontact Lofob PR officer Heidi Volkwijn on(021) 705 3753.

MASIPHUMELELE: RE-BLOCKING REFUSED

No quicksolution forsettlementMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Tensions over the re-blocking of theMasiphumelele wetlands is reachingfever pitch as community leaders

gear up to meet with premier Helen Zilleand mayor Patricia de Lille.Residents have vented their frustration

following statements by City of CapeTown’s Mayoral Committee member forHuman Settlements Tandeka Gqada thatno re-blocking will take place (“Appeal toturn the ride”, People’s Post, 17 January).Gqada says thewetlands are not suitable

for human habitation and the City has de-cided not to re-block the area.However, residents say something must

be done.While community leaders and officials

get ready to meet, life in Masiphumelelecontinues.It is just after 15:00 on Saturday 18 Janu-

ary and Gcinikhaya Mathiso is rebuildinghis shack.Situated on the edge of thewetlands,Ma-

thiso’s shackwas burnt in a recent fire. Helost everything.“Do youknowwhat it’s like to go towork

and come home and all you find is sand?All my belongings are gone. I have to startover,” he says.Surveying thework done by himself and

friends, he admits starting over will behard.The dwellings are built in close proximi-

ty to each other. In the narrow alleywaysremnants of fires can be seen.Burnt wood, corrugated iron and

charred appliances are evidence of theblaze.For Vizinto Kamkam and his family

fires are a usual occurrence.His shack has burnt down four times in

the last year. Each time he struggles to getback on his feet. “We need help here. Weall know the wetlands are dangerous, butwhere must we go?” he asks.Lastweekanappeal signedbymore than

80 residents across the Far South washanded to the City.Written by Dr Lutz van Dijk and Profes-

sor Andy Dawes, the appeal requests ur-gent intervention to avoid more deaths inMasiphumelele.TshepoMoletsane of the Informal Settle-

ments Network in Masiphumelele sup-ports the appeal and launched a scathing

attack on Gqada.He says residents will not accept the de-

cision by the City as they believe “notenough has been done”.“There must be a better solution than

just saying ‘no’ to re-blocking.We all knowthere is a lack of land, but we do not thinkan effort is being made,” he says.Moletsane says the constant disasters

are traumatising residents. He believes ifofficials “get their hands dirty”, they willsee re-blocking is possible.“I doubt whether Gqada has ever been

to the wetlands. I do not think she has anyidea of what the issues are or how peopleare suffering. If she did, she would help usand those who wrote the appeal to find so-lutions as opposed to just saying no re-blocking will happen.”But Gqada says the City’s decision is fi-

nal. “The conditions in the wetlands arenot suitable and the community has beencontinually advised that the landwasunfitfor human habitation, but ignored this ad-vice,” she says.Gqada adds there are other settlements

in similar situations which have been inexistence for longer and have to be dealtwith first.“Another reason we cannot re-block in

the wetlands is people could see this as ac-ceptance, and tacit approval, by the Citythat they could build on unsuitable land,”she says.The City understands the difficulties ex-

perienced by residents in the wetlands,Gqada says, but they cannot be prioritisedover other settlements. “We appeal to resi-dents to ensure they are registered on theCity’s housingdatabase, sowhenanoppor-tunity becomes available theywill be eligi-ble to benefit,” she says.Meanwhile,VanDijk says theywillmeet

with De Lille and Zille next month.

Watch quickoff the markMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Anewly formed neighbourhoodwatch is gaining momentum afterputting twomen behind bars at the

weekend.Established to help keep their commu-

nity safe, the Murdoch Valley NorthNeighbourhood Watch sprang into ac-tion on Friday 17 January when a housein Disa Road was being burgled.

Resident Fran Spencer-Smith says sheleft Cape Town that afternoon and re-ceived a call fromaneighbour informingher there were people in her house after21:00.

Spencer-Smith, like many others, hadrecently joined the neighbourhoodwatch and word quickly spread acrossthe valley.

“Another neighbour noticed themen’svehicle in front of her house andwas giv-ing the information to another watchmemberwhen the car sped off,” Spencer-Smith says.

Police and a private security companywere alerted and a chase ensued.

Simon’s Town police spokespersonWarrant Officer Nicholas Spreeth saysofficers followed themen into Fish Hoekwhere they crashed their vehicle.

“They proceeded to try and run awayand the police officers chased them. Wemanaged to arrest two of the three menand recover the stolen items,” Spreeth

says.Watch chairperson Dominic Parker

says residents pulled together to ensurethe men were caught.

“Using social networking groups, resi-dents quickly spread the word and eve-ryone was alerted,” he says.

Parker explains break-ins are the big-gest concern for the community, addingtheywere impressedwith the prompt re-sponse of the police.

“The formation of a neighbourhoodwatch has started to show results andwewill continue to work hard to keep ourcommunity safe,” Parker says.

Spencer-Smith returned home on Sat-urday 18 January and says she has beenoverwhelmed by the support from thecommunity.

“Almost every neighbour offered me abed to sleep in. They have been so amaz-ing during this time. I am also very im-pressed with the quick response of thepolice,” she says.

Spreeth has urged residents to reportall incidents and suspicious activity tothe police.

“It is very important for these inci-dents to be reported, so that we can takeaction,” he says.V To report crime in Simon’s Town, phone the Si-mon’s Town Police Station on (021) 786 8647/8.V Do neighbourhood watches and community in-volvement in the fight against crime?

Tough task forWP womenLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A single match could define an entireseason for theWesternProvincewom-en’s cricket team.

Province take on neighbours Boland inWellington on Sunday and a loss will slashthe team’s chances of semi-final qualifica-tion.WP currently top theWest/East group in

Cricket South Africa’s provincial league,with six wins from seven games.Boland are second, but have a game in

hand and are the only side to have beatenWP this season.Province coach Cobus Roodt is confident

his charges can pull off a victory, despitehaving three key players away on nationalduty.“TheBolandgame is an important one for

the season. If we win, we will reach thesemi-finals,” he says.“I am confident we can win. I believe the

girls can pull through. There is a lot ofworkthat has gone in to get the girls ready. Theyunderstand what lies ahead, so there is noreason why we can’t win.”Roodt’s side racked up comfortable victo-

ries in their last twomatches, posting 371/5before skittling out Border Kei for just 24runs on Saturday and then beating Borderby 36 runs on Sunday.Province have just three games left in the

pool stages; Boland on Sunday, before fac-ing Eastern Province on Saturday 1 Febru-ary and SouthWestern Districts on Sunday2 February.Finishing at the summit of theWest/East

group will ensure they go through along

with the winners of the Highveld and Cen-tral groups.The best second-placed side out of all

three groups will be the fourth semi-final-ist.A full haul of points in the last three

games could also seal a home semi-final forProvince.Roodt believes the location of the play-off

will not affect his side’s performance.“Playing at home gives you a small ad-

vantage, but we are used to playing away,”he says.“I find the team gels better when we are

away from home, because they all live ina hotel together. When they are at home,you don’t know what they are doing. I be-lieve a cricket ground is just a cricketground.”Last season Roodt’s side beat Gauteng at

the Wanderers to secure the title, afterknocking out Northerns at Newlands theprevious week.KwaZulu-Natal currently top the Central

pool,whileNortherns andGauteng are firstand second, respectively, in the Highveldgroup.Roodt says they would happily face any

side in the competition should WP reachthe semis.“You expect to face the strong teams so

it doesn’t matter who we play,” he says.“We just have to ensure that we play our

very best cricket. If we do, it doesn’tmatter.I believe to be the best, you have to beat thebest – that’s one of the slogans we live byin the team.”The final pool matches against EP and

SWD will both take place at Mutual Parkin Pinelands next month.
