‘An accident waiting’TIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Parents in Kuku Town informal settle-ment in Kensington experience con-stant fearwhen their children are play-
ing outside, because they play close to therailway line.Parents claim they have been trying to getthe authorities to fence the area off for
longer than a decade. Often the ball the chil-dren play with is blown onto the tracks.Parents say thatwhen they tell the author-ities to fence it off because their children arein danger they are told that if anything hap-pens to their children theywill be held liableas parents.When People’s Post visited children wereplaying on a patch of ground right next tothe railway line. They stay right in front of
Kentemade station and the area is notfenced. Some children were riding down theslope with a bicycle and playing on thetracks. Concerned parents say this is a dailyoccurrence.Melanie Robinson (37), a worried motherof one, says they want the area fenced be-cause each time their children are playingoutside they have to be high alert.“We are always worried and nervous
when kids are playing outside, especiallywhen you hear a train coming. You have tocheck if they are not close to the rails.“It’s very difficult as a mother to focus onthings in the house and keep an eye out thatyour child is not on the tracks.“When we told them about the dangers ofnot having a fence they said if our childrenwere injured we would be in trouble.”V Continued on page 2.

“Whenwe told themabout the dangers of nothaving a fence they said if our childrenwereinjuredwewould be in trouble. It’s not right,we are not happy. We need the fence so thatwe will be at ease,” says Robinson.Even if they have a park close by it will
be risking their children’s lives to makethem play there as it is also close to the rail-way line so they rather keep them closewhere they can watch them.Another parent, Chandrey Goliath (38),
says the wind is strong in their area and it’sa great danger when children play outside.“The kids can easily be blown onto the
tracks. It really scaresuswhenchildrenplayoutside. We can’t keep them inside theshacks because they want to play outside.They can’t even go to the park. We worry a
lot about our children. We want a safe placefor them to play,” she says.Apart from residents worrying about
their children the area has allegedly becomean easy target for robbers, because they canrun away easily.Verona Joseph, a community leader, says
she has tried to get the authorities to put upa fence but nothing has happened.“After several emails and phone calls they
cameand tookmeasurements to fence thear-ea. That was in August and until nowwe arestill waiting,” says Joseph.Ward councillor Lisa Mcbride, agrees:
“Thismust be a priority. Kids are in danger.I’m really angry at the criminal negligenceof Transnet. They can’t keep promising andnothing is done.”

Seventh Street residents in Kensingtontook a stand against a drug den – they
closed it.It is alleged that the housewas being used
for drug dealing. The story goes that the twosons staying there with their elderly moth-er, who has Alzheimers, took advantage ofthe situation and have sold drugs from thehouse for some time.
Police did several raids and found drugson the premises last year, but nothingseemed to stop the brothers. Residents be-came fed up with the situation.
They installed a camera at the house tomake sure that the mother is protected andthat no drug dealing takes place there any-more. Residents say this is a clear messagethey are sending to other drug dens thatthey are coming for them too.
Mogamat Nordien, chairperson of theKensington street committee, says: “Peoplewere tiredand they justhad todo somethingabout it. Kensington doesn’t belong to drug
dealers orpolitical parties but for thepeoplesowe have to do our duties to protectwhat’sours.
“These people are not a violent communi-ty but they just showed the power of stand-ing together and getting things done. If thiscould be done in a day then all the drug densin this area can be closed,” he says.
Nordien adds that with drug dealingcomes other problems.
“There is a lot of crime that comes withdrugs. Our children are robbed going to theshops. People are robbed going to and fromwork. There are a lot of fights, assaults andtheft out of cars. There are burglaries andtheft because addicts want to serve their ad-diction. We can’t allow that to happen.
“We are glad that crime had dropped tre-mendously in our area but we can’t sit anddo nothing. We will fight to make sure thatno drug dealing happens in this area. Weare also urging other people in their com-munities to stand together and put an endto drug dens that are destroying our chil-dren and terrorising the community.”

Planning is gathering pace for the devel-opment of an urban park at the conver-gence of the Black and Liesbeek rivers.
The City of Cape Town and WesternCape government’s vision for their “TwoRivers Urban Park” project is envisagedas a mixed-use, transit-oriented develop-ment with a mix of residential and com-mercial opportunities within a connectedlandscape.
The developmentwill function as a gate-way to the city because of its central loca-tion. The envisioned development will belocated arounda central parkwith the tworivers.
The vision is to provide sustainability,conservation, recreation, employment,production and connected neighbour-hoods, the City says in a statement.
The project aims to release 120ha of landwithin the area for the creation of themixed-use development.
Amemorandum of cooperation relating
to the project has now been signed be-tween the City, the Western Cape govern-ment and the Netherlands.
Belinda Walker, mayoral committeemember for community services and spe-cial projects, says: “There is still muchwork to be done in terms of feasibilitystudies before any plan can be cast instone. The memorandum with the Dutchgovernment is for us to capitalise on theirtechnical expertise.
“In addition to the extensive feasibilitystudies, a lot of planning needs to be donebefore a concept design can be developed.Importantly, any processes going forwardwill entail the required forms of publicparticipation and engagement.”
All planning and implementation pha-ses will be undertaken collaboratively be-tween the City of Cape Town and theWest-ern Cape government, together with tech-nical support from leading experts fromthe Netherlands.

Students fall for rental scam on GumtreeStudents have been warned to be alert fol-lowing an online accommodation scam.
Wynberg police cluster spokespersonCap-tain Angie Latchman says in the scam stu-dents have been required to pay a deposit tosecure a roomor flat advertised onGumtree.But after paying, the student is unable toreach the person who advertised the flat.
“Once the money is deposited into thebank account, the student can no longerreach the person to confirm the accommoda-tion or to collect the keys to the property, viathe contact details given,” she explains.
“Students who fall prey to this scam aregenerally thoseoutside theprovince.Thepo-lice are making a special plea to all studentsand tertiary education facilities to take note
of this scam in order to avoid becoming vic-tims of this type of crime.”
Latchman suggests taking precautionswhen looking to rent properties, such as re-questing the landlord’s ID or rentingthrough an established letting agent.
She also advises using trusted websiteswhen searching for accommodation.
“Never pay money upfront for anything,until you are certain that the landlord orletting agent arewho they say they are, andare reputable. Be vigilant of emails in bro-kenEnglish,whether you are a prospectiverenter or landlord. It can be worth typingthe name at the end of the email in Google.Quite often, scam artists are exposedthere.”

Kramer’s music honours District SixFifty years after the destruction
of District Six, David Kramerhas assembled a talented cast topay homage to the vibrant culturethat once defined the area.
Over 60 000 residents were relo-cated from District Six in the 1960safter it was declared a white grouparea. A way of life was destroyed.
Today hardly anything remainsof what was once a thriving, dense-ly populated, multi-ethnic andmulticultural community.
Eric Abraham and the FugardTheatre, located in District Six,will pay tribute to the place and itspeople with District Six – Kanala,a musical directed by David.
While previews start on Tuesday2 February already, the show willenjoy its premier on Thursday 11February, exactly fifty years afterthe 1966 declaration.
David, who together with his the-
atre partner Taliep Petersen creat-ed hugely successful musicals, likeDistrict Six,Fairyland andKat andthe Kings, will celebrate the vi-brant musical culture found in thestreets, halls, hotels, clubs and bio-scopes of 1960s District Six.
“Kanala will be my way of cele-brating the memory of some of theamazing talents from District Sixthat I met and worked with overthe past three decades,” he says.“People like Taliep, Salie Daniels,Cyril Valentine, Billy Jaftha,Dougie Schrikker, Al Hendricks,Zayn Adam as well as Richard Riveand Vincent Kolbe.”
These stalwarts shared their rec-ollections of Distric Six with Da-vid, but a new generation of starswill bring their stories to the stage.
The cast includes Loukmaan Ad-ams, Bianca le Grange, Carlo Dan-iels, Edith Plaatjies, Sne Dladla,
Natasha Hess and Cleo Raatus.They will be accompanied by a
six-piece live band under the lead-ership of saxophonist Don VinoPrins and the guidance of musicaldirector Alistair Izobell.
Tickets for the preview perform-ances from Tuesday 2 to Wednes-day 10 February cost R130 eachwhen booking through the box of-fice on 021 461 4554. Tickets for therest of the run are available atComputicket.V People’s Post wants to hear about yourmemories of District Six. Send an email [email protected] to tell your story.

Braille signs forscience funThe Cape Town Science Centre (CTSC)
in Observatory will be introducinginstructional signage in braille on someof its key exhibits to enhance the experi-ence for sight-impaired visitors.
This initiative will be marked by a vis-it from the Athlone School for the Blindwhich will be facilitated by Wanda Diaz-Merced, a sight-impaired PhD computerscientist and astronomer who translatedthe instructions of the centre’s interac-tive exhibits into braille.
Diaz-Merced is currently visiting fromPuerto Rico as a fellow of the Interna-tional Astronomical Union Office of As-tronomy for Development.
Before this initiative, a blind personvisiting the Centre would not experiencenearly as much learning as a sighted per-son.
“We have worked hard to include asmuch material as possible in the form ofbraille explanations and tactile models(including 3D-printed models) to en-hance the pupils’ experience.
“I walked through the centre myself,as a blind person, to evaluate the currentexperience offered and designed toolsthat will be especially useful to the pu-pils.
“As hard as we have tried to enhancetheir experience though, there is stillmuch that can be done and we hope thatthis is only the beginning of a process tomake mathematics and science more in-clusive to people with disabilities,” shesays.
CTSC is Cape Town’s only hands-on
science centre established to educate andcreate awareness around science andtechnology, to excite visitors and con-tribute to strengthening a culture of sci-ence.
Busisiwe Maqubela, chief operationsofficer of the CTSC, says: “For our cen-tre, we believe this is a very importantstep forward. We are grateful to Wanda,for her passion and expertise and gettingus started on this journey.

Donate milk for babiesIn the high-techworld of themodern neona-tal ICU there is no substitute for breastmilk. When a vulnerable baby’s mother isunable to supply breastmilk, donated breastmilk can offer this life-saving gift from an-other mother.Neonatologist Dr Alan Horn of Groote
Schuur Hospital says: “I firmly believe thatthe practice of milk banking is still in its in-fancy, globally and especially in South Afri-ca. I expect it will steadily increase in pro-file.“Donating breast milk is an act that in-
volves the least pain and themost gain, com-pared to any other human tissue or organdonation. It is potentially life-saving and isworth more than equipment or staff. Theterm milk “bank” is perfect – it simultane-ously describes the safety and the value ofdonated milk.”Milk Matters is such a breast milk bank
devoted to saving the lives of primarily pre-mature babies in neonatal ICUs who do nothave access to their own mother’s milk. Ithas depots in locations around the city, in-cluding Diep River, Retreat and Muizen-berg.The need for donor milk is mainly when
a mother is too ill to provide breast milk oris unable to physically be with or regularlyvisit her baby in hospital. Donor milk mayalso be needed for a short time in the caseof multiple births such as triplets, when themothermay initiallynothave enoughbreastmilk for her babies.Already the demand for donormilk far ex-
ceeds supplies and requests from doctors fordonor milk continue to increase.MilkMatters, a registered non-profit orga-
nisation, started providing donor breastmilk to the neonatal ICUs of Cape Town’sbiggest state hospitals in 2003. To date 30 hos-pitals, in both the state and private sector,have received donormilk fromMilkMatters
and in addition the organisation has helpedfive hospitals set up their own in-housemilkbanks. Most of the donormilk goes to babiesin state hospitals, where the need is highest.Since just 50ml of breast milk can feed a
baby of less than a kg for 24 hours, mothersdo not need to donate large quantities ofbreast milk to make a significant impact.Some donor mothers make once-off dona-
tions of stockpiled milk that is not required
for their own baby, whilst othermothers do-nate for periods varying from a few weeksto a year or more.Milk Matters provides donors with sterile
containers, which can be collected from oneof the 25depots,wherebatches of frozenmilkcan also be delivered. All milk is pasteur-ised.Milk Matters is a registered non-profit or-
ganisation.
You can donate breast milk for needy babies at a “milk bank” in your area. A local doctor saysdonated breast milk is potentially life-saving. PHOTO: MILK MATTERS

KensingtonHome for theAged is turningover a new leaf.Its board says the perception that people
have of the old age home is about to changeand they are on the road to restoring pridein the home.Through the help of Grand Parade In-
vestments they plan to revamp the home.This will include cutting the grass to theunused driveway, which will be paved.
This will allow easy entrance for ambulan-ces.Beds and a wheelchair that will be used
in the sick room have been donated by theClaremont Rotary Club. These will be un-packed when everything is done.There are also plans for a bigger and bet-
ter sick room which will have 10 beds anda dedicated nurse, as well as a grievingroom.Father Charles Blowse, chairperson of
the board, says they hope to be done withthe upgrades by the end of this month.
“We are so excited, more so that our resi-dents will have a neat place to stay in. Itwill look so beautiful, because all the oldwalls will come off and we will have newones.“We are really happy that this is being
done. A lot of people are doing a good jobin keeping us afloat and we are reallythankful.”He says the board is grateful to their
sponsors. They are also glad that their wa-ter bill has been reduced.Blowse adds that theywant to change the
perception people have of the home.“A lot of things have happened, but we
are working on it. We want people to trustthe home again.Wewant them to really seethings are changing and we are happy thata lot of things are falling into place. Wewant to do things in a dignified way.”The home, which looks after 100 people,
is still in need of donations like toiletriesand vegetables.It also needs volunteers to keep the elder-
ly residents entertainedaswell as aphysio-therapist.

Save water! The message over the last couple of monthshas been clear – some parts of the country are facing adrought and dam levels are low, we need to save water!In Cape Town the City imposed strict water restric-
tions, even going as far as promising fines for householdsand businesses that don’t save at least 20%. The latter hasleft a bitter taste in many a household, especially thosethat have been living water wise before the water restric-tions were imposed.If you’re alreadynot openinga tap towateryourgarden,
recycling your bath water into the flowerbeds after thewhole family shared the same bath, catching the first fewdrops of cold shower water in a bucket to use for cleaningthe dishes later, keeping the swimming pool just fullenough so the pump can run or implementing any of theother creative water savings Capetonians have come upwith, then what more can you do to save?Water wise or not, we don’t realise howmuch water we
use (and let go towaste) on a day-to-day basis until unfore-seen circumstances force us to live off only bottled waterand our swimming pool (for those lucky enough to haveone) for at least a few days.It’s only once you start counting the litres to fill the
sink, boil the kettle, flush the toilet, not to mention usein your daily hygiene routine and for drinkingwater, thatreality sinks in andyou realisehowmuchyourhouseholdconsumes – not saving as much as you thought you did.And thenyou start thinking of those feeling the drought
at its worst, those who have to live out of a bottle for daysat a time or those whose permanent living conditionsdon’t include running water in their homes.The fact is, water is a precious resource and if we don’t
try to save more, we are in line to suffer more.So next time, before you open a tap, think... And keep
living water wise even after the rains have come and thewater restrictions have been lifted.
Great service to street peopleI wish to respond to People’s Post’sarticle and express my gratitude for theservice offered by the social developmentdepartment’s social outreach team whoprovided exceptional service in Rosebankover the festive period.
They were available each time I loggeda request and always followed uptelephonically. I was on hand twice, asthey helped Moses Manus (“Sakkie”)access medical help – once via ambu-lance and once by car, to two differentmedical facilities (Hanover Park DayHospital and Victoria Hospital inWynberg).
When he found the Schaapkraalshelter “too noisy”, he dischargedhimself and returned to the quiet of
Rosebank. He was then allocated a placein the Wynberg shelter, but again theallure of Rosebank was too great.
By now, he had used up his sixallocated interventions (if not more) bythe social development department. NowI have understanding why this ruleapplies – think ambulance, time, shelter,transport – all paid for by the taxpayer.The next resort is to call the City’s lawenforcement department if a by-law isbeing broken, or in this case, trespassingis occurring.
I felt truly mean doing this, and wasglad not to witness his removal. Myoveractive imagination saw him mur-dered by gangsters in Pollsmoor andsuffering all sorts of other awful disas-
ters – all because of me.A week later, there he was, filthy as
always, with his toothless smile, hangingaround outside Rustenburg Pharmacy.No hard feelings from his side – I was sorelieved to see him, I almost huggedhim.But the boundaries have been set. The
last time seen, he had settled close to thebead sellers on Park Road.Sincere thanks to Ruweida Lakay,
Randall Brown and Fundiswa Phillips-Mdini, supervisor: reintegration socialdevelopment and early childhood devel-opment for their concrete assistance, aswell as in their help in explaining theCity’s policy to me.

Is municipality exemptfrom water restrictions?On Monday 18 January I walked mydogs in Kalk Bay. I saw the garden atDanger Beach, as well as the garden bya parking lot further into Kalk Bay,being watered at 09:10. The gardenersaid the municipality paid extra to waterthe gardens. At Danger Beach, he waswatering the grass.
From the City of Cape Town’s web-page, on Cape Town’s water restrictions:“Watering (with drinking water frommunicipal supply) of gardens, flowerbeds, sports fields, parks, lawns andother open spaces are allowed only onTuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for amaximum of one hour per premiseseither before 09:00 or after 16:00.”
Is the municipality exempt from waterrestrictions? Does it not apply to thembecause they “pay extra”?
Is watering a garden to make it lookpretty for tourists that important; moreimportant than conserving water forliving purposes?
JEANNIE COLLARD,Email
Belinda Walker, mayoral committeemember for community services andspecial projects, responds:
We thank the letter writer for bringingthis to our attention and we will certain-ly investigate the allegations.
Since the level 2 water restrictionswere adopted by the council on 1December 2015 and implemented acrossthe city on 1 January, the City’s parksdepartment has communicated theserestrictions widely to departmental staff.Implementing these water restrictionshas required extensive adjustment of thedepartment’s work schedules and,consequently, extensive engagement andeducation of staff and users.These efforts are ongoing as we try to
bring all of our maintenance work inline with the water restrictions.We fully appreciate the seriousness of
Cape Town’s water situation and areworking hard to adjust accordingly andseek out sustainable solutions for ourwater needs.
Cops can’t judgedrunk driversIt is high time that we stopped blamingdrunk drivers for the road carnage. Asan ex-policeman Keith Blake should bewell aware of the pitfalls of a policeman’sobservations (“Drunk drivers are murder-ers”, People’s Post, 19 January).Policemen and witnesses are not
qualified to make such judgements andthat was why it became mandatory to doblood tests. The fact that the forensicsteams are unable to do their job in atimely fashion is the fault of the justicesystem. Penalising and jailing someonewho isn’t actually guilty of an offencecould lead to the policeman being sued.Statistically, one is much more likely
to be killed or injured by a sober driverthan a drunk one. Today the majorcauses of accidents are inattention,drivers texting and other distractions,according to American statistics. Not thered herring of so-called drunk drivers.
It is high time that society stopsblaming drunk drivers who haven’tactually had an accident and focused onthose who are the real problem.

Phillies beatVOB in softballJOSEPH PILLAY
There seems no chance tostop a high-flying Glen-thorn A’s side from clinch-
ing their fifth consecutiveleague crown this season.
They beat an improved,though young and inexperi-enced, Normies outfit 7-0 in aCape Town Softball Associationsuper league match at Turfhallstadium on Saturday.In the other super league
matches Kenfac Phillies beatVOB 9-5, Westridge Yankeesbeat St Martin’s 3-0 while Fal-cons recorded a 10-3 win overTantasport.
Glenthorn still boast an un-beaten run to date and top thetable with 39 points after 13games. Their three-prongcoaching team of Deon Kerch-hoff (technical), Steven Rodkin(head) andWayneLakay (assist-ant) can reliably believe thatneither Falcons nor WestridgeYankees (placed second andthird on the log respectively)will be able to stop Glenthornfrom annexing league honours.Nevertheless, in Normies’
five turns at bat, they did man-age to get onto a base twicethrough a triple by Shameera
Ryland in the third innings,though she was left stranded.AmyMinniesweighed inwith
a two bagger and could havescored her side’s only run, butdecided to take on the armof leftoutfielderCarla Swanepool. Shewas put out by catcher CindyDavids.
Lisa Erasmus led the pitchingattack for Glenthorn. In her fiveinnings pitched, she faced 19batters, struck out three, al-lowed twobase-on-balls and sur-rendered two hits.Erasmus pitched a steady
game with a well marshalledfield that assisted her. Goodcatches in the outfield byDeidreSasman, Swanepool and JeanBell and excellent fielding bythird-base fielder Astrid vanKresteren and fellow infieldersAlex Fortune, Nicole Kanne-meyer and Courtney Stevensmeant Normies never got theiract together with the bat.
Normies pitcher Kim Greenput up a brave fight against theGlenthorn batters in four in-nings.
Jean Bell (2-2), Erasmus (2-3),LaurenMulder (1-1), Swanepooland Kannemeyer (each 1-2)were, by far, the batters who ex-celled for Glenthorn.
