Efforts to save tree cut short NETTALIE VILJOEN NETTALIE.VILJOEN@MEDIA24.COM
T
TREES FIND SAFE ARBOR Residents got their backs into it on Friday 21 August when they attended and participated in an Arbor Day tree planting ceremony held at Draper Street Park just off Palmyra Road in Claremont. Ian Iversen, the councillor for ward 59 who organised the event together with resident Mikhail Manuel, says strict Covid-19 precautions were followed by all those present. Trees planted included Ekebergia Capensis (Cape ash, essenhout), Vacellia Xanthophloea (fever trees) and Portulacaria Afra (spekboom). PHOTO: MIKHAIL MANUEL
he fight to save a yellowwood tree located on the boundary of 3 Parry Road in Claremont was cut short when a group of workmen fell the majestic giant on Tuesday 23 June. Armed with a permit authorised by the department of environment, forestry and fisheries (Deff), the team arrived at the residential development site early that morning and began to cut down the protected tree despite a neighbour’s plea to hold off until the issue of the permit could be properly considered and reviewed. People’s Post first reported on this matter earlier this year (“Standing up for Trees”, 17 March) when TreeKeepers, a voluntary community group dedicated to conserving urban trees and forests, was asked to investigate possible damage to a yellowwood tree – one of the trees on South African National Biodiversity Institute’s (Sanbi) list of protected trees – located on what was once a densely wooded property. Just over a year ago, the property had been sold to Linear Developments which applied for the plot to be subdivided into five portions. It was alleged that workers on site were digging trenches close to the tree and chopping at its base. According to the National Forests Act (NFA) no person may cut, disturb, damage or destroy any protected tree, unless they apply
for a permit from the City of Cape Town to do so. Deff inspected the site on Monday 16 March and subsequently confirmed that illegal minor root cutting did take place. In an email message dated 20 March, Thando Ndudula of Deff Western Cape, wrote: “The transgressor has been served with a written notice for contravening the National Forests Act, 1998.” Ndudula was responding to an email sent by a concerned neighbour who requested an update on the inspection. In the correspondence with Deff the neighbour, who asked not to be named, indicated he would like to make representations against an application to fell or cut back the yellowwood tree should such an application be made. No further communication between the two parties was entered into until the day the workmen showed up at 3 Parry Road. On the workmen’s arrival, the neighbour immediately contacted Ndudula, who had issued the permit, as well as her senior, Izak van der Merwe, asking for the tree felling to be held off so that the permit could be considered and reviewed. He claims Ndudula took the view that the issue of the permit was justified and that Van der Merwe was ambivalent and unhelpful. It was understood that, had time allowed, the neighbour would have brought an application to the court to stop the felling of the tree pending a review of the grant of the permit. When he questioned Deff’s actions after the fact, Thandeka Gwala, assistant director of forestry regulations and support, in an
email said: “The NFA is a balancing act which allows for both conservation and development thus promoting sustainability.” People’s Post approached Deff on Friday 10 July for comment on the run of events at 3 Parry Road. Although Deff’s media office acknowledged receipt of the media query and promised feedback, none materialised. When People’s Post first spoke to Linear in March, it was said that the company would need to apply for a permit to trim up to 25% of the tree’s canopy. It also stated that the plot on which the yellowwood tree stood had, in the meantime, been sold and that Linear could not guarantee what the new owners would do with the tree. Asked to explain how the situation went from the tree being trimmed to it being felled, Sean Paterson, a project manager of Linear Developments, says the decision was reached after they had met with Deff, Krige Tree Services, its engineer and architect as well as the new property owners. He says the initial plan was to retain the tree and to trim back 25% of the canopy to allow space for a double-storey home. “Our engineer worked on a design to bridge the tree roots with a lintel, but he did not recommend this as a long-term solution. After meeting with all of the professionals and a representative from Deff it was recommended that we submit an application for the removal. Our clients were not comfortable taking this long-term risk and they asked us to submit an application to Deff to remove the tree.” V Continued on page 3

Important tips to overcome load shedding As the nation continues to experience a new wave of rolling blackouts and the dreaded return of load shedding, leading hardware retailer, Brights says there are ways to overcome the nightmare. To help South Africans get through the powerless days and dark nights, here is a list of eight items that could help. . Battery-powered LED lighting “Battery-powered LED lighting is essential during power outages,” says Brights hardware chief executive officer (CEO) Orlando Luis. “There is a wide range of rechargeable LED light strips, lanterns and torches available that make keeping the lights on during load shedding easy. You can even get a rechargeable LED desk lamp so that the kids can continue doing their homework during evening power cuts.” Another great item to have in the home are intelligent LED light bulbs. These bulbs come in either a screw or bayonet configuration and can be used as a standard light bulb in any light fixture – and they stay on during load shedding as they hold charge for up to four hours. . Solar lighting In addition to rechargeable and batteryoperated solutions, there is a wide range of solar-powered lighting on the market today. These range from spotlights or security lights to solar lanterns, garden lighting and even pool lights. . Gas stove and cooker Boiling water and getting meals prepared during power outages is impossible without a gas stove or cooker. Thankfully there are many different options available to consumers today – whether it is a large six-plate gas hob and oven or just a simple, portable ta-

Police women dance to the beat NETTALIE VILJOEN
W
omen police officers of Claremont Police station brought traffic to a standstill on Wednesday 19 August not once but twice when they first cordoned off a section of Imam Haron Road and then Main Road in Claremont to perform the popular Jerusalema dance to the delight of onlookers. The dance formed part of a larger, joint operation which included a roadblock and the distribution of information pamphlets on gender-based violence. Sergeant Lutchmee Chetty, the social crime coordinator stationed at Claremont police station who organised the event, says the purpose of the operation was threefold: to observe Women’s Month, to showcase the strong women in the police force and to create awareness around genderbased violence. “We wanted to send a message that women also fill roles of power in the fight against gender-based violence,” says Chetty. Aljazeera.com recently reported on the Jerusalema dance challenge which has taken social media by storm (“#JerusalemaDanceChallenge goes viral”, 3 August). In recent weeks, social media streams have been inundated with videos showing people dancing to the hit song by local musician Master KG (featuring Nomcebo). Chetty says it was Col Maree Louw, the station commander at Claremont police station, who first suggested the women officers perform the dance. Tamzin Adriaans, a counsellor at Uturn – a non-governmental organisation focused on grappling with the
homeless challenge – volunteered to step in as dance instructor. Officers attended two practice sessions as well as a “dress rehearsal” before the actual event on Wednesday. “There was a spirit of Ubuntu among the women during practice. Through dance, our women officers sent a strong message that we as women are not vulnerable but a force to be reckoned with,” adds Chetty. She says the dance did exactly what they hoped – it grabbed the public’s attention. The roadblock, which was held at 11:00 represented a joint operation by officers from traffic services, law enforcement, Claremont police station and the Claremont Improvement District Company (CIDC). A total of 68 vehicles were pulled over and checked for roadworthiness during the roadblock. Twenty road traffic fines to the value of R13 000 were issued. On the day, police officers also engaged with the public around issues on gender-based violence. The CIDC assisted with the printing of the pamphlets.

Paterson says due process was followed and Deff approved the removal. Clare Burgess, the chair of TreeKeepers, say they are extremely disappointed that Deff did not agree to the continued protection of this yellowwood tree. “Sadly we have experienced this outcome on many occasions in Cape Town. However, in this case, it is even more disheartening than usual, since there had been an initial inclusive process of all parties to try
and save the tree. At some point, the communications between the objectors and the development process seems to have been side stepped,” she says. In addition, she says, there was a cost effective and sustainable design solution which could have been applied – the use of suspended lintel type foundations to bridge tree roots in close proximity to new buildings. “TreeKeepers is concerned that each time Deff issues a permit which allows for the removal of a protected tree, it puts another nail in the coffin for the sustainability of the urban forest,” she concludes.

While there, they helped to pack and distribute bags of essential food items to local charities. Siya Kolisi, John Smit, Jean de Villiers and Corné Krige, as well as Bryan Habana and Percy Montgomery, showed they are experts at team work and getting the job done – both on and off the field. The bags were distributed to three charities: Stepping Stones Sport, Unchain the Plain and Safe House Stellenbosch.

slow, it’s more difficult to interpret missed words and it takes too long to hear the whole sentence.” She adds that another option is to write a message on a piece of paper or to use a cellphone to type. Ahmed said her colleagues have been very helpful and supportive. “When we started using masks, they asked me whether I’d be able to hear them if they spoke louder and more clearly while wearing masks, or if it would be okay if they took their mask off while social distancing so that I could lip read.” Rogini Pillay, assistant director of occupational therapy at the hospital, who works directly with Ahmed, describes her as a hard worker who is “well suited for her job”. “Whenever we see posts on social media regarding personal protective equipment (PPE) solutions for hearing impaired persons, we would share with Tahseen. “She found an ‘extender’ that allows her to wear elasticated masks that do not have to go behind her ears.” Ahmed says although things have been difficult, she sees it as a challenge and says people must be patient with those who are hearing impaired. “Be empathetic with us as we are still adapting to this challenge during the pandemic. One of the most beautiful things we can do is to help one another.”
nprecedented times.” We can all agree that describes the last couple of months. While everyone is adapting to the new normal of not leaving their home without wearing a mask, this has created new challenges for Tahseen Ahmed, a chief occupational therapist, who was born deaf. Ahmed had a cochlear implant placed in her right ear 25 years ago which made a massive difference in her life, and over the years she has learnt to communicate with people by lip reading and looking at facial expressions; something she is unable to do now as everyone is compelled to wear a mask. “I don’t use sign language, but I do lip read, and that’s why the wearing of masks during Covid-19 has been a challenge for me. When the pandemic came, facial coverings and masks had to be implemented for everyone’s safety, but it introduced new challenges for the deaf and hearing-impaired community. We had to adapt and find ways to work around it,” says Ahmed. Ahmed, who has been working at Groote Schuur Hospital’s occupational therapy department for the past seven years, says currently when she communicates with an unfamiliar person, she explains to them that she is hard of hearing. “I ask if they can speak a bit slower than normal, louder (not shouting) and clearer whilst still trying to keep their mask on. If it doesn’t work, I’ll ask them if they can physically distance and remove the mask so that I can lip read. If not, I look at yes or no answers and hand gestures.” Ahmed, who is also a certified lymphoedema therapist, says those who communicate via sign language also find it challenging as some of the hand gestures requires them to touch their face. Ahmed, who has a passion for helping others, shares some helpful tips of how to communicate with those who are deaf or hard of hearing. “The person who is deaf or hard of hearing may not even realize that they are being spoken to or being warned of a risk to their health or safety. Take your time speaking: speak slower than nor- Tahseen Ahmed, a chief occupational therapist, says wearing a mal, but again, if it’s too mask prevents her from lip reading. PHOTO: FACEBOOK

Tree mapping helps planting The City of Cape Town’s recreation and parks department has completed a tree mapping project – a first in South Africa. The pilot project started in June last year and will provide extensive data on all the City’s trees. “While the City has a tree management policy which ensures that trees are cared for through proper arboriculture techniques and management practices, mapping our trees will further assist us in decision making on where to focus tree planting efforts, especially if overlaid with heat island maps. Trees play an important interface role between the environment and the urban landscape,” says Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien. “The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations defines an urban forest as ‘a contiguous area with over 10% tree canopy cover’ and in our progress towards an Urban Forest in the City of Cape Town our tree canopy cover currently stands at 7%. To limit the extent of the data, trees captured as part of the study only included trees of 2.75 metres and higher”. An important component of managing the urban forest is a tree inventory. The data record for a tree typically includes information about tree species, location, characteristics, images, maintenance history, risk assessment and further maintenance and management needs.
In June 2019, the recreation and parks department initiated a project to gather data about the extent of the City’s tree canopy. Tree canopy mapping integrates cutting edge automated feature extraction with detailed manual quality assurance in GIS (Geographic Information System). Tree canopy extraction is reliant on remotely-sensed data in the form of infra-red images and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data. The City acquired a 2018 colour infra-red image and this enabled the tree canopies to be distinguished by their colour properties. LiDAR (or 3D height information) data was then used to enhance the accuracy of the information by excluding low-lying vegetation and shrubs from the output. This project provides a learning opportunity and skill transfer between departments and the information extracted will also benefit other municipal services such as spatial planning and environmental management. Analysis from the tree canopy data set could also determine the average height of trees and categorise the percentage of trees within a certain height bracket. “This is an exciting project and we are confident that the data gathered during the project will assist the City’s recreation and parks department to effectively manage the City’s trees and to plant future trees in areas where it is most needed,” says Badroodien.
City’s parking policy set to ‘encourage economic activity’ Residents and interested parties have until Friday 18 September to comment or submit proposals on the City of Cape Town revised parking policy. The policy addresses the provision, management, regulation, enforcement and pricing of parking across the city: from on-street parking and off-street parking to park-andride facilities, loading bays, bus bays, parking permits, reserved parking, and parking for bicycles, motorbikes, and provision for e-hailing services. This includes all aspects related to parking, and regardless of whether the parking is being provided by the private or public sector. Mayco member for transport Felicity Purchase says there is a need to improve enforcement of parking transgressions; to cater for new transport modes such as e-hailing and electric vehicles; and to promote parking that is friendly to the environment in terms of design and management. “We also want to, in future, implement
cashless payments for parking,” Purchase says. The revised policy is aimed at supporting economic activity and the sustainability of businesses by ensuring customers and delivery vehicles can find on-street parking. In line with this, the draft policy is pursuing the following: . Easier access to on-street parking within central business districts for those who want to park for a short period; . easier access to designated on-street parking for people with special needs, such as those in wheelchairs; . investigate a possible discount for those who park for less than 10 or 15 minutes; . easier access to designated on-street parking bays for delivery vehicles; . to encourage economic activity in central business areas by providing easy access to on-street parking bays for customers and delivery vehicles; . to encourage short-stay parking within the core of the CBD (Central Business District) and longer stay parking on the periph-
ery of the CBD during business hours; . payment through a cashless system by using smart cards or cellphones to improve convenience and accounting; . for minor parking transgressions to be administered by the contractor who will be contracted to manage on-street parking bays on behalf of the City; and . to develop a rationale for the expansion or removal of managed on-street parking as and when needed. Purchase says the draft policy requires the City to investigate the use of technology to record violations and issue penalties. “This is very important as we find that private vehicle owners often park in bays designated for loading vehicles and people with special needs, or that they do not adhere to time limits, or refuse to pay for parking,” she adds. The policy also proposes new guidelines for parking tariffs. . It makes provision for different parking zones to be demarcated, and for parking tar-
iffs to differ accordingly; . Different tariffs should apply for different times of day (morning, afternoon, evening), and over weekends and on public holidays; . Given that motorbikes require less parking space, the tariff for using a formal motorcycle bay should be lower. “We currently do not have convenient drop-and-go bays in business areas or at private developments for lift clubs, e-hailing cars, or e-hailing delivery motorbikes,” says Purchase. “Also, there must be parking incentives for more sustainable modes of transport such as bicycles, and motorbikes. New generation mobility such as electric vehicles must also be accommodated in future,” The revised policy is available on the City’s website.

TATTOO-A-THON:
Make your mark by getting marked
SERVING SUGGESTION
or a full week at the end of August, Capetonians – and visitors to our fair city – can get inked in support of animals. The annual tattoo-a-thon, Tats4Tails, is set to take place from Sunday 30 August to Sunday 6 September. For the second year in a row, The Cape of Good Hope SPCA is partnering with Identipet, a company which microchips animals and maintains a database of them, and Primal Culture Tattoo Studio in Plumstead. Clinton Naidoo, the owner of the studio, says, this year, they will have to do things a
homely; you could bring in your whole family to watch you get tattooed. But now we’ve had to get screens made, get masks and sanitisers, and we’ve had to take time to get used to it.” The special on offer for the Tats4Tails week is a 7cm by 7cm tattoo for R700. That amount of money, according to the SPCA, will be enough to save two animals. Naidoo says last year’s event saw 58 tattoos being completed for the SPCA’s vaccination and sterilisation cause. According to Belinda Abrahams, spokesperson for the SPCA, funds raised this year will go to animal rescues. “It costs the SPCA R350 on average to respond to each call we receive for an animal

in crisis. Whether they are chained to the spot, exposed to the elements, being cruelly beaten, forced to fight, starving or sick, injured and in pain, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA is committed to responding to every call we receive, seven days a week, 24 hours a day,” reads a statement. Abrahams told People’s Post that this year’s goal is to book 70 tattoo appointments to raise R50 000. That will keep the SPCA’s inspectors on the road and enable them to carry out about 143 rescues. The SPCA relies on donations and public support. V Call 021 707 1299 or email info@primalculture.co.za to book your spot or to enquire about tattoo designs. Spots are limited.

With Covid-19, this year we have put all our personal protective equipment out and are running it from Sunday to Sunday. People have to pre-book as our doors will be closed, in adherence to health regulations. So entrance will be by appointment only.” Considering the size of the space, the studio will only allow two customers in at a time. They will be tattooed by the two tattoo artists on duty – very different from how things used to be done. “Before (the pandemic), the studio was very

Organisations to apply for City’s Covid-19 food relief funding As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, hundreds if not thousands of vulnerable communities continue to be adversely affected. The City of Cape Town’s urban management directorate has secured R25 million for food relief during the 2020/2021 financial year. With this in mind, the City is calling on registered non-profit organisations (NPOs) and public benefit organisations (PBOs) within the City of Cape Town to apply to render food relief services to these beneficiaries. “Registered NPOs and PBOs must have experience in the preparation and distribution of cooked meals as well as the distribution of raw food products and the direct supervision of communitybased organisations for the preparation and the distribution of cooked meals,” says Mayco member for urban management, Grant Twigg.
Interested persons must apply before 16:00 on Monday 3 September. “(The organisations applying) should have at least three months’ experience operating soup or food kitchens and should be able to provide nutritional well-balanced meals to vulnerable communities and beneficiaries. A track record of their successful operations and details of the communities or beneficiary groups that they previously served is also a requirement. “The organisations that are selected will be required to enter into a memorandum of agreement with the City and must comply with the stipulated monitoring and reporting requirements,” says Twigg. V Visit www.capetown.gov.za/HumanitarianRelief for application forms and project plan. Applications or enquiries must be sent to admin.HRP@capetown.gov.za.
Organisations can now apply for food relief to assist their feeding schemes. SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS

he Two Oceans Aquarium is set to reopen its doors to the public on Tuesday 1 September. Visitors will once again be able to see their favourite sea animals daily between 09:30 and 18:00 on weekdays, and from 09:00 to 18:00 on weekends and public holidays. Members of the aquarium will have four exclusive days to rediscover the magic of the facility and to say hello to all their favourite animals from Friday 28 August to Monday 31 August ahead of its reopening to the general public. Michael Farquhar, chief executive officer for the aquarium, says: “We are delighted to have finally received the go ahead from government to reopen our doors after five months of closure. The aquarium will once again be filled with the buzz of enthusiastic visitors, discovering the magic and beauty of the underwater world. “Now we can get back to our purpose of saving the oceans and inspiring all who visit.” Farquhar says a range of health and safety measures in line with the latest government regulations and a Covid-19 workplace-ready plan have been implemented. The aquarium’s conference facilities have also reopened with a maximum capacity of 50 delegates per venue. “The aquarium will adhere to these measures as well as any others gazetted by government so that it can operate in a safe and responsible manner and, in so doing, protect its visitors and staff to the best of its ability,” explains Farquhar. He adds that memberships that were active on the day of the aquarium’s temporary closure (18 March 2020) will be extended by the number of days that the aquarium has been closed. This means that members will still enjoy twelve full months of their membership. He says memberships and prepaid tickets that were purchased during the lockdown period must be activated and redeemed within 90 days of the aquarium’s reopening. For further information about the aquarium’s reopening as well as daily happenings and general aquarium news, follow its social media channels on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Cyclists help the vulnerable hanks to the Cape Town Cycle Tour’s (CTCT) Pay It Forward campaign, clothing, blankets and food, worth over R900 000, are being distributed to the most vulnerable communities along the event’s route over the next few weeks. The campaign – an initiative launched by the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust (CTCTT) in May – invited riders to make a R1 000 donation and, in return, organisers would offer a limited number of complimentary entries into the 2021 Cape Town Cycle Tour. Riders could also make a donation via the GivenGain platform from as little as R25 and prizes from Thule and Garmin were also up for grabs. With over R500 000 raised from entries, with additional donations from a number of past participants, the CTCTT has already begun the process of distributing the essentials

to communities in Red Hill, Ocean View, Masiphumelele, Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg. “Charity begins at home and never has that been truer than helping the communities that lie along our route that have suffered most significantly from the effects of the extended Covid-19 lockdown,” said David Bellairs, a director of the CTCTT. “Each year these communities open up their hearts to the thousands of riders who make their way past their homes. They are part of the heart and soul of the event.” With the help of community organisations like Living Hope, Feed Our Valley and Courage Africa – together with support from longterm partners Pick n Pay’s Feed the Nation campaign – the neediest are identified and assisted. The Cape Town Cycle Tour has raised over R100 million for social upliftment and cycling development over the past 15 years.

No plans to repurpose facilities EARL HAUPT EARL@MEDIA24.COM @EARLHAUPT
W
ith much of South Africa already settled into level two lockdown regulations, many local sport fraternities are still gearing up to return to action. While the Covid-19 pandemic continues to reshape the way we live our lives, the City of Cape Town says there are no plans to repurpose its sports facilities. Mayco member for community services and health Zahid Badroodien confirms that while no activity has been able to take place at facilities run under the auspices of the City, there are no plans to convert and transform its venues. “The department does not have a specific usage policy but acts in accordance with the national Covid-19 regulations and directions of what is allowed and what not. Sporting organisations/federations/bodies apply to the minister and submit plans for the resumption of their specific codes,” Badroodien says. A few weeks ago, the City released a statement on its plans in preparing sports facilities (“City sports fields ready despite vandalism and theft”, People’s Post, 28 July) for the potential resumption of sporting activity
Athlone Stadium.

and once a sporting body has been granted the certificate of compliance to return to activity by the national government, they are welcome to return to City-run facilities. “A letter/memo has been sent to federations guiding what is required for sports activities to return at City facilities. There are no special requirements with regards to the resumption of the use of facilities that have not been in use for several months. It remains the responsibility of the club that uses the facility to adhere to the disaster regulations and implement safe practices,” Badroodien explains. People’s Post also reported on the potential resumption of amateur soccer to the region (“Amateur soccer in the balance”, 11 August), where Safa Cape Town president Ben-
nett Bailey touched on the prevalence of illegal matches taking place, which the City has also been made aware of, but added that their organisation still requires additional support from the City looking forward and after the Covid-19 pandemic has ended. “We have a position that lives matter more than a game. However, we need to get back to normal and for that to happen, the old normal will not be the new normal. Example, we need a serious relook at facilities. If you look at some facilities, they were built during apartheid to serve a certain sector of the community. In this new democracy, all facilities had to be upgraded so that we can have equality. Sadly, some of them still resembled that of the apartheid era. No additional work was done to it. For the new normal to be nor-
mal, The City needs to look at their facilities. Some time ago, there was an attempt to draft a facilities usage policy and its time that work continues again,” says Bailey. He adds that Safa Cape Town still does not have a home following their eviction from Athlone Stadium last year. “Athlone Stadium, a facility built with the 2010 funds, has become a home for everything, but football. The City via their executive director issued a directive that Safa Cape Town, the controlling body for football, does not fit their business model. We are still homeless and squat at a local football association and they want their facility back. Lastly, we need the City to rethink the grant to organisations. In the past, they made grants available, but lately, nothing.” In response to the ongoing Athlone Stadium matter, the City’s Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management James Vos says no new plans have been announced. “In respect of Athlone Stadium, please be advised that the facility is currently utilised by the City in its Covid-19 response. As a consequence to the current use, the facility will be unavailable for any activities not related to the City’s Covid-19 response until further notice. Further communication regarding the Athlone Stadium will be issued in due course.”
