PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJI KENSINGTON ‘We plead for safety’ TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji A handful of people – part of the Wes-Kaapse Kleuring Ontwikkelings organisasie (WKK- OO) – marched to the council offices in Ken- sington on Thursday to demand safer com- munities. Community members say there are too many incidents of people getting shot and that gang violence is spiralling out of hand. Their wish is to have peace and order as well as to claim back their streets. They want to make the streets safe for everyone who lives there. They claim that nothing is being done as there are many killings in their area and it seems as if gangs are in control. It is alleged that more than seven people have been shot in gang-related violence in less than two weeks, leaving all community members terrified. The march started in Acre Road and ended at the council offices in Sunderland where the protested handed in a memorandum of grievances. Residents watched from their streets and gateways as the protesters marched in the streets most affected by gangs. The march- ers carried placards calling for peace and safety in their communities. Their memorandum states that they want youth development programmes, training centres, safe schools, proper housing and sanitation as well as effective and efficient health services that are available 24 hours a day. Ricardo van Niekerk, chairperson of the WKKOO, says residents have had enough and they want safe streets. However, most of them are scared to take part in the march as it passed in areas where gangs fight. “People can’t come out because they are scared of what’s going to happen to them. We had a petition of over 500 signatures support- ing the march so that is reason enough to say people are tired – they want peace. We know all the hotspots and we are appealing to the police to provide us with a mobile unit in those areas. Most of the schools are in are- as infested by gangs and a police mobile unit would go a long way in making the streets safe. We do see the police but we feel a lot more can be done. The shootings are just too much,” he says. One protester, Lillian Adams (50), says her nephew was shot and killed by gangers as he was coming out of the gate two weeks ago. Adams is still bitter but she hopes for a bet- ter future. “My nephew wasn’t even a gangster. They killed him in cold blood. Now watching his two kids grow up without a father breaks my heart. I’m here to march to make my voice heard. Gangs have robbed us of so many things. Now we must stand together and say enough is enough,” she says. The protesters gave ward councillor Lisa Mcbride, to whom they gave the memoran- dum, a week to respond. “Setting up another meeting to address their demands doesn’t make sense,” she says. “We had a big meeting with the rele- vant stakeholders and all the issues they raised in their memorandum were ad- dressed. We are working together with the community to find solutions to the problem. So if they are indeed doing what they are do- ing for the community they must start vol- unteering to the organisations in the com- munities. Then they will see that we are not just sitting but something is being done.” Now watching his two kids grow up without a father breaks my heart.

An informal settlement on restitutionlandhasbeneficiarieswith theirhandsin their hair.

An empty plot in District Six has becomehome to a handful of informal shacks. Butthe settlement is rubbing salt in the woundsof beneficiaries who have been waitingyears to return home, says District SixWorking Committee chairperson ShahiedAjam.“It shows how everyone is ignoring re-

dress,” he says. “What impression does itcreate when the land earmarked for restitu-tion is not even being safeguarded?”The ease at which informal settlements

can springupon the landhas beenhighlight-ed by various threats of occupation by com-munity organisations, Ajam says.However, resident Melissa Morris says

she has been living on the land for severalyears and is aware that it has been ear-marked for claimants.“They can’t go against their word. If they

give the land to claimants we’ll have to findanother place to sleep. But we don’t disturbthe neighbours and they don’t bother us,”she says.

Regional Land Claims commissionerMichael Worsnip says securing the sitefalls to the City of Cape Town.“TheCity is the present owner of the land

and is responsible tokeep it clear of inform-al dwellers and invaders on the land. TheDistrict Six Community Forumwas consti-tuted to look after the safety and securityof the returnees in the area and is made upof people currently living in District Six,”he says.The District Six Reference Group over-

sees the orderly integration of District Sixbeneficiaries through its social integrationteam, Worsnip says.Richard Bosman, executive director for

safety and security, says the City’s law en-forcement teamsconduct regularpatrols inthe area.These efforts are supplemented by local

neighbourhood watch patrols, says Wors-nipHowever, Ajam is calling for the Land

Claims Commission to step in and secureproperty intended for claimants.“The government wants the world to be-

lieve District Six is sacred ground, but it’snot looking after District Six. At this rate,therewill be nothing left for claimants,” hesays.

SALT RIVER

Local children learn ‘Fussball’TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Pupils fromDrydenStreet PrimarySchoolin Salt River are all smiles because they

have a helping hand from volunteering stu-dents from Germany.Getting volunteers at the school has be-

come a tradition. Each year the school hoststeaching volunteers from different coun-tries who come and help out at the school.The help is much appreciated by the teach-ers and pupils as things get too much attimes.The school has hosted volunteers from the

United States and Switzerland and now it’sGermany.

DifferencesThe three German volunteers, Maria Theur(22), Paul Freistedt (19) and MaximilianLange (18) will be at the school for nineweeks to help teach, read, monitor pupilsand teach extramural activities like soccer.

The trio will be helping out with every gradeat the school, changing classes every day.Though things are totally different from

where they come from they are glad that theyare doing something to help.“I’m not used to kids talking together at the

same time to give an answer. Where I comefromwe raise ourhands but if this is how theylearn, I will also follow that and teach themlike that,” says Lange.

SoccerLange says they are glad they are bridging thegap between those who learn fast and thosewho trail behind.“Classes are full here, with 40 or 50 pupils ineach class. This is double the size of a classinGermany and I have noticed that not all thechildren get the full attention of the teacher.We are helping those who are left behind,mostly to catch up and get to understandwhatthey might have missed while in class.“It’s an amazing experience but what makesus really happy is that we aremaking a differ-

ence in the children’s lives,” he says.Besides being in class thewhole day they

also get time to play soccer to relax. Frei-stedt says watching the pupils go crazywhen they see the ball makes his stay inthe country perfect.“I love soccer so much and this is what

I do mostly back at home. Watching thesekids go crazy after class just fills my heartwith joy.“Playing sport also keeps them healthy

and alert. When they go back to readingthey will be alert, making it easier to graspthings. This makes learning easy.”

Collin Jooste, chairperson of the schoolgoverning body, says it’s a good thing for thepupils and the teachers.“Many times our teachers have their

hands full. We really appreciate what thesevolunteers are doing. English is not theirfirst language and we have kids who speakdifferent languages here but I’m glad thatthey are working well together. One can’tfeel that disconnection or language barrier.It really makes pupils happy to have themaround and, most of all, it takes the weightoff the shoulders of the teachers just a little,”says Jooste.

Roaming animalsbetter off at homeTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Looking after the animals is very impor-tant as it helps create a healthy envi-

ronment for people.”This is what the Friends of the Liesbeek

believe. They work tirelessly to make surethat animals that stray from their naturalhabitat return there – at all costs.

Last week Monday, they helped two ottersback into the water after they had wanderedoff from their usual homes. One of the otterswas found in a house in Observatory andthe second one was found in Retreat. Thissecond one was found stuck between a wen-dy house and metal sheeting.

The otters were fairly stressed, but lucki-ly they were not injured. The Retreat-visit-ing otter was released immediately, as hewas quite agitated with the number of peo-ple around him.

The Observatory visitor was taken to theshort-term wildlife care facility in GrassyPark, and was released on Monday withanother otter from Salt River.

Though these animals might look friend-ly and harmless, people are urged not tocome close to them as they have sharp teethand they might bite if they feel threatened.

Friends of the Liesbeek manager KyranWright says it is very important that whenpeople find these stray animals they keepaway from them and call the relevant au-thorities so that they can be returned totheir rightful homes.

“Animals wander out of their range attimes and people must just make sure thatthey are in a safe place. Make sure you don’tcome close to them as they might be harmfulat times. We must help by making sure thatthey are returned to where they belong.This is not only important for them but forpeople as well. Animals are important for

the food chain and most of all they keep theenvironment running so that people alsoenjoy a healthy living,” says Wright.

SPCA spokesperson Wanika Davids alsoemphasises the importance of making surethat wild animals go back to where theycome from.

“Generally we try to release any animalthat we rescue as close to where it comesfrom as possible. This is because any ani-mal has its own territory and habitat. Ani-mals also contribute to the local food chainwithin their own habitat, and so it’s impor-tant not to disturb nature.

“We share the city with fantastic wildlife,who also call this home, and so we shouldrespect them and their habitats as much aswe respect our own. They’re part of our nat-ural environment, fauna and biodiversity,”she says.V Residents who find any unusual wildlife in their gar-dens or homes, that appear injured, displaced or dis-tressed, should contact the Cape of Good Hope SPCAimmediately on 021 700 4158/9 or after hours on083 326 1604.

An otter found in Observatory was releasedback into the Liesbeek River on Monday.

Locals protest GMO foodCapetonians have taken to the street to de-mand correct labelling of genetically modi-fied foods.

As part of an international protest, themarch took place in the city centre on Satur-day.

Protesters claim that authorities have giv-en into a handful of biotechnology compa-nies by failing to require testing and label-ling of genetically engineered foods.

The march is a pro-organic, anti-transgen-ic genetically modified organisms (GMO)campaign being held on six continents andin over 500 cities worldwide.

GMOs are organisms whose genetic mate-rial have been artificially manipulated in alab through genetic engineering, says eventorganiser Jeannie Ross.

“GMOsare engineered towithstanddirectapplication of herbicide and/or to producean insecticide,” she says.

Concerned citizens aim to spread aware-ness about the possible harmful effects of ge-netically modified food, to demand the rightto natural medicines and to support localsmall and organic farmers.

Over 800 people braved cold and wet weather in the city centre on Saturday to marchagainst the incorrect use of genetically modified organisms. PHOTOS: NICKY NEWMAN

Cape Town must be more ‘liveable’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Every resident has a part to play in drawinginvestment to Cape Town.

This was the message of Wesgro CEO TimHarris, who addressed the Mouille PointRatepayers’ Association on Thursday lastweek.

Wesgro is the official destination market-ing, investment and trade promotion agencyfor the Western Cape. It promotes CapeTown and the region all over the world asan investment destination and a place to sellproducts. “To quote Michael Bloomberg, ifyou want people to invest in your city, youhave to make it a city people want to live in,”

Harris said. This means residents needed tobe civic-minded and partner with the coun-cil and local agencies to prevent crime andmake the city more liveable, he said.

“There’s a whole lot going on that peopledon’t know about. We’ve got a lot to sell,” hesaid. Wine and similar products sell them-selves – the agency needs to tell the unex-pected story, Harris said.

“There’s still the perception that if youwant to do business in South Africa, youneed to go to Johannesburg,” he said.

In his talk, Harris focused on three sec-tors, each of which has proven its viabilityas investment opportunities.

Harris told the story of Cape Town entre-preneur Cameron Stevens, who founded

Prodigy Finance, a company which offersloans to international postgraduate studentsat leading business schools.

As an INSEAD graduate who experiencedthe difficulties of financing an internationalMBA, he and two fellow students set out tosolve this problem. When he approachedventure capitalists in the USA, Stevens wastold he couldn’t run a company like this fromCape Town, Harris said.

Stevens has since proven them wrong,having distributed $50m in loans to post-graduate students from 90 nationalities,with exceptional repayment performance.

“When you look at asset management, Af-rica’s money is now run out of Cape Town,”Harris said.

The food industry is another growing sec-tor, as illustrated by a local iced tea compa-ny. “In 2009, a rooibos farmer named DaveEvans started making Bos iced tea,” Harrissays. Today, the product is sold in 14 coun-tries. Dave always says we need to ditch ourinferiority complex,” Harris said. “With ourdiverse market, if you can sell a product inSouth Africa, you can sell it anywhere.”

And it’s not just small companies runningthe Cape Town food industry, Harris says,with retail giants like Pick n Pay, Wool-worths and Shoprite based in the Cape.

Manufacturers are also choosing CapeTown, with engines made for Mercedes-Benztrucks and flat-screen TVs produced for Hi-sense in factories in Atlantis.
