Development concerns NETTALIE VILJOEN
to discuss the increasing occurrence of single-unit homes being sold and demolished in the area. In their place were set to rise apartment blocks – or so it was rumoured. One of the main complaints raised by residents was that they had not been consulted or even informed of developments that could change the fabric of their community. The newly registered Wynberg East Civic Association (WECA) had called the meeting
A
bout 30 minutes into the Wynberg East community meeting held at the Wynberg Youth Centre on Thursday 18 October, the lights went off, leaving residents exactly how they felt: in the dark. But not even load-shedding could detract from concerned residents’ fervour at the well-attended assembly. They had gathered
to attain a mandate from the community to address the issue. Demolitions were currently underway in York Road, Park Road, Byrnes Avenue and Castletown Road, to name a few. Residents wanted to know how these demolitions could have been approved without a red flag being raised earlier. Achmat Salie, an architectural technologist and a member of WECA, explained that
the properties in question all fell within an area zoned as general residential (gr4). This meant the owners of these erven had the Constitutional right to build flats if they so wished. Once granted, the right to build flats stayed there in perpetuity, unless an application was made to the City of Cape Town to change the zoning. V To page 2.

he Karoo Animal Protection Society (Kaps) will hold a Chari-tea Garden Partea at 72 Starke Road, Bergvliet from 10:00 to 12:00 on Sunday 27 October. Kaps volunteer Christine Calothi has opened up her garden for the event. Attendants will enjoy a cup of tea and a piece of cake – at a donation of R50 – in a beautiful setting reminiscent of an English country garden. Kaps provides a mobile service for animals in the deprived areas of the Little Ka-
roo in rural South Africa. It takes free welfare services daily to a core catchment area approaching 5 000 km². Animals are dipped, dewormed, fed, taken for treatment, sterilised, rescued and rehomed. Calothi, who is also a Rotarian, has been involved with the charity for the past six years. She, together with a group of helpers, raise funds to send to Kaps. They hold a charity bonanza sale every month in Tokai. Calothi says her love for rescued animals

For the 12th consecutive year, the race will be presented on Saturday 23 November with a 5km, 10km and 21.1km race open to all ages. Partners include the City of Cape Town, African Bank, Community Chest, and PPC. People’s Post is the official print media partner. The race will start at Glendale High

motivated her to get involved. “The relief of suffering of animals is paramount in my life. People from poor communities do love their animals but they do not have the means to care for them properly. There is a lot of suffering going on in the Karoo,” she says.

The race forms part of the Coca-Cola League.
FROM PAGE 1 He said there were certain restrictions to gr4-grading developments. According to the City of Cape Town’s zoning scheme regulations, you can only build on the boundary 18 metres into the plot. No more than 60% plot coverage is allowed, and the height of the building must not exceed 24 metres. “The developers stayed within these parameters. There was no legal reason for the council to circulate these plans,” he said. Judy Ferdenando, chair of WECA, said the association was now in a position to prevent this from happening again. “We have registered with all the relevant bodies. In future, we will have the right to look at plans when they are submitted to the council.” She asked community members to report any cases where people have been offered far more money for their properties than they were worth. She vowed the association would follow up immediately. Another burning question at the meeting was whether these kind of developments were legal, considering that some of the homes demolished were more than 60 years old. Residents felt the area should have been considered as a heritage site. Salie explained that as long as a proposed development did not materially alter the streetscape, zoning rights trumped heritage, according to the Constitution. However, a resident pointed out that, according to a Constitutional Court judgment on 19 February this year (the consolidated matters of trustees of the Simcha Trust v Da Cruz and Others and City of Cape Town v Da Cruz and Others (Simcha Trust)), there was an obligation on local authorities to ap-

ply the legitimate expectations test when considering whether the surrounding area where the building is to be erected would likely be disfigured or whether such a building would be unsightly or objectionable. A further point made was that an area zoned for flats 20 years ago was not necessarily suited for this type of development today. The question was asked if those who approved development plans considered that Wynberg East’s decaying sewerage system was already insufficient to handle the sewage generated by its current population. The reoccurrence of seeping sewage drains in Park Road was given as an example. Other concerns raised were the effect increased traffic would have on the already congested area, the negative impact it might have on property values and whether the influx of people, combined with the planned Wynberg interchange, would lead to an increase in crime in the area. A minority of residents wanted to pursue radical action. Others asked for a moratorium to be placed on all developments in the area pending the outcome of an investigation by the council. In the end, most agreed that more information was needed before steps could be taken. The civic association was given the mandate to set up a meeting with the developer and to report back to the community. “How we move forward depends on what happens at that meeting,” said Ferdenando. She urged all residents to stand together and to lend their support to WECA. V To get involved visit WECA’s Facebook page or call Judy Ferdenando on 082 493 6076.

Local resident shows she is HomeWise NETTALIE VILJOEN
C
onstantia resident Annabela Bekker (23) has been named as the first runner-up in the department of human settlements: Western Cape’s HomeWise Youth Competition. The competition, launched in July, asked young people between the ages of 16 and 35 to design the mock-ups, prototypes or wireframes of an app which would allow citizens to easily access information on government housing assistance. Entries closed on 30 August. Western Cape MEC for human settlements Tertius Simmers says he is a firm believer in using technology optimally. “As we believe in inclusive governance, we extended an opportunity to the youth of this province, through a competition, to assist us with the development of this app,” says Simmers. Entrants were asked to design the user experience (UX) and user interface (UI). Of the many online entries received 20 met all of the criteria. After an evaluation process, three entrants were shortlisted. Anesu Malisa from Bellville was the first prize winner, Bekker, the first runner-up and Cynthia Augustine from Pinelands was named the second runner-up. Malisa won an Apple MacBook and a wireless mouse. Bekker and Augustine each got a R5 000 cash voucher.
Aspects of the designs will be incorporated into the final development of the department’s app. It hopes to have a trial version available by the end of the year, with a full launch in April 2020. Bekker, a University of Cape Town Interactive Media graduate, says the competition’s social media marketing advert just kept on popping up in her feed. She says the opportunity to have a hand in creating something that would be used by everyone in the Western Cape was just too exciting to pass up. “It was so cool of the City of Cape Town to get communities involved in the planning process,” she says. Reflecting on her proposal, Bekker says, because of the large amount of information and diverse users, she wanted to make the app as accessible and functional as possible. “I looked at how to do this using large buttons and text, icons for visual comprehension, text to speech functionality and a colour-coded hierarchical system so that people know where they are in the app,” she says. Simmers congratulates the winner and runner-ups for applying innovative thinking. “I’d also like to express my sincere gratitude to all young people who took the time to enter our competition. As a department, we’ve been able to engage with some of the best and pioneering young techies in this province,” he says.

CONDUCT IN SCHOOLS
Sexual misconduct in schools no joke NETTALIE VILJOEN
M
emes poking fun at something that shouldn’t be a laughing matter flooded social media following the release of Bishops Diocesan College principal Guy Pearson’s statement that the prestigious private school is investigating allegations of misconduct by one of its teachers. According to the Sexual Offences Amendment Act, the age of consent is 16 for boys and girls in South Africa. This means a consenting relationship between an 18-year-old and a 30-year-old, for example, is not deemed a criminal act. However, Dr John Buswell, chief executive officer (CEO) of Rape Wise, says when the older person is someone who holds a position of authority over the younger, it could hold severe emotional implications. Rape Wise is an organisation made up of health care professionals who are responsible for running rape crisis centres and who provides training to the departments of education, health and justice. Buswell says Rape Wise handles about 200 to 300 such cases a year. In some instances, learners engage in sexual relationships with teachers in exchange for extra marks or extra tuition. He poses the question: “The moment the one
party is in a position of authority over the other, the relationship is manipulative and, therefore, wrong. The problem is, as the younger party, how do you break away from it?” He says learners often feel forced to continue with the relationship. This can lead to anxiety attacks, panic attacks and even idealisation of suicide. “Learners are not emotionally mature enough to handle a stressful situation like this. It can lead to not wanting to attend class or to failing exams,” he explains. The South African Council of Educators’ (Sace) code of conduct stipulates that teachers should refrain from improper physical contact with learners; from courting learners from any school; from any form of sexual harassment (physical or otherwise) of learners; and from any form of sexual relationship with learners from any school. Teachers accused of contravening these stipulations can be called to appear before a Sace tribunal and, if found guilty, it has the right to remove them from Sace’s registered list of teachers, barring them from teaching again. According to Sace’s 2018/2019 annual report, the occurrence of sexual abuse in schools is increasing. Reports of sexual abuse by teachers rose by
more than 230% since 2014, Sace told parliament on Wednesday 9 October, when it presented its findings to the portfolio committee on basic education, Media24 reported. Sace CEO, Ella Mokgalane reportedly said 636 files were opened during the year under review. Of the cases dealt with by Sace, 93 were of sexual misconduct. Buswell says it is important for parents to keep communication channels with their children open. “And they should not be enforced. Children should feel free to approach parents. They need to know that their parents will listen and advise, not judge,” he says. A change in children’s’ behaviour should be a warning sign for parents. This could include increased anxiousness, withdrawing from social and school activities or becoming secretive or private about what they are doing. “Also keep an eye on their social media activity. Do they have a startled or fearful response to a message? Is there a change in their habitual use? For example, where they previously would read and answer WhatsApp messages in front of family members, are they now going to their room to do so,” Buswell probes.
NSRI’s pink buoys save lives
There are 463 pink buoys at drowning hot spots around the country.
The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) presented the Pink Rescue Buoy emergency flotation project at the International Lifesaving’s biannual World Conference on Drowning Prevention (WCDP) Conference in Durban on Friday 11 October. NSRI’s drowning prevention manager Andrew Ingram addressed delegates from around the world, explaining where the idea originated from, how it has been funded and implemented and that to date the pink rescue buoys have been used to save the lives of 46 people who were in grave danger of drowning. Ingram said the Pink Buoy project was launched in November 2017 following the WCDP in Vancouver where they were inspired by the success stories of
similar initiatives. A project in Hawaii reported 150 successful bystander rescues with no harm to the untrained rescuer being reported in any of these rescues. A project started in 1971 in Ireland also had phenomenal success in getting emergency flotation to a drowning victim while emergency services were responding. Ingram said an observation from similar projects that were happening around the globe was that untrained people were going to the aid of someone who was in danger of drowning despite being advised not to. “Our Pink Rescue Buoys use simple graphics to explain that it is better to throw the float to someone and call for help. But
if someone does go into the water despite the danger, they have a much better chance of survival if they take flotation with them,” said Ingram. Sea Rescue has the support of many municipalities to put this emergency flotation in drowning hot spots. Each Pink Rescue Buoy costs R1 500 and is privately sponsored which means that there is no cost to the municipalities. “We currently have 463 pink buoys at drowning hot spots around the country. “With generous support from individuals and companies we hope to expand the placement of the buoys into many more municipalities that would like to partner with us to save lives,” said Ingram.
City will not tolerate unlawful behaviour
777777-QK221019
The City of Cape Town is determined to root out irregular behaviour by the taxi drivers in the Cape Town central business district. JP Smith, the Mayco member safety and security, describes the behaviour of the taxi drivers as intolerable. He was responding to claims of bullying and intimidation by the drivers against law enforcement officers when they issued warrants to the drivers on Tuesday 15 October. It is alleged a feud ensued between the officers and the drivers, and an off-duty police officer was robbed of a firearm. “Be that as it may, the actions of the group cannot be condoned,” he says. He warns drivers to abide by the law and be prepared to be held accountable when they fail to do so. “It is our understanding that taxi drivers were upset about a
warrant operation that was taking place, where officers issued Section 72 notices for offenders to appear in court,” Smith says. He says the City enforces the National Road Traffic Act, which is a legislation applicable to all road users country-wide, and that the City does not determine fine amounts. “These are set by the Western Cape government,” he said Smith added that the law applies equally to everyone. He says the actions by the drivers seem to be part of a new trend of violent reaction to the rule of law and would not be tolerated. Sgt Noloyiso Rwexana, the provincial police spokesperson, confirmed that a police officer was robbed of a firearm and a case of robbery had been opened and the circumstances surrounding this matter were being investigated. She said no arrests were made yet.

Winde nods head to oncology unit W
estern Cape Premier Alan Winde paid a visit to the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital on Monday 14 October, where he was given a tour of the oncology unit, and had the opportunity to meet with some of the children receiving medical care there, and their parents. He also handed over book donations received in the Western Cape Government book drive, to be used in the libraries of the hospital. “The Red Cross Children’s Hospital does
amazing work, not just for the children of the Western Cape, but for children from across Africa. I met with them today not only to see the work that they do, but to see how we as the government can become more involved in assisting them to continue giving the world-class care that they do,” Winde said. During the visit, he was briefed on childhood cancers, and the treatment thereof, by the head of oncology and haematology at the hospital, Prof Alan Davidson.
Childhood cancers are rarer than adult ones, and tend to consist mainly of brain tumours, acute leukemia and tumours in deepseated organs such as the liver, kidney and adrenal glands. These kinds of tumours are usually fast-growing, which also makes them more susceptible to chemotherapy. The hospital estimates that about 150 children under the age of 15 are diagnosed with cancer in the province each year, with about 100 of these in the Cape Town metro. In higher-income countries, about 70% to 80% of children with cancer survive. Because of the treatment offered by both the Red Cross Chil-

CITY
Funding for 2020 minstrel events approved T
LUXURY CARS, NEW CARS, PRE-OWNED CARS, VETERAN CARS, TRUCKS, TRACTORS AND AIRPLANES EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE.
he City of Cape Town has approved the disbursement of the R4.572 million cash funding to support the upcoming minstrel events. Additional support of R1.3 million for City services and the waiver of costs for City-owned venues will form part of the package of support for the associations. The contribution to minstrel events for the City’s 2019/20 financial year will total R5.872 million. The funding will support six associations to host events, including Tweede Nuwe Jaar, other minstrel competitions and the Malay choir competitions. After deliberations at the Special Events Committee (SpevCo) meeting, the City proposed financial support as follows: . Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association Street Parade – R3.2 million; . Kaapse Klopse Karnival Associ-
ation Competitions – R422 000; . Cape Malay Choir Board Road March – R1.1 million; . Cape Malay Choir Board Competitions – R300 000; . SA United Christmas Bands Board Road March – R250 000; . SA United Christmas Bands Board Competitions – R200 000; . Cape District Minstrel Board Competitions – R200 000; . Keep the Dream Competitions – R200 000 “The Minstrels, Christmas Bands and Malay Choir events have important cultural significance to the troupes, their families, communities and to the history of Cape Town. “The City has been supporting them for a number of years to maintain the rich heritage and to expose the culture to a global stage within a safe environment,” said the City’s Mayco member for safety and secu-
rity JP Smith. “This funding is an indication of the City’s commitment to supporting this annual tradition that continues to resonate with families and communities across Cape Town as thousands of people, including tourists, fill the streets to watch the colourful and entertaining marches,” he adds. All requests for funding were received through the City of Cape Town’s event support application system and were considered by SpevCo within their delegations of recommendations to the executive mayor. The City took into account the Constitution, the Municipal Finance Management Act, the Prevention of Organised Crime Act, the City’s Credit Control and Debt Collection Policy, and more on review of applications.

Constantia Glen Five 2015 won the international trophy for world’s best blended red wine at the 2019 International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) held in London. The 2015 vintage of the Bordeauxstyle red scored 96 points out of 100, qualifying as the overall winner of the international red blends category. This is the wine’s second major international accolade this year after being awarded Platinum and 97 points in London’s Decanter World Wine Awards.
“It is fantastic to get this sort of recognition for our flagship red wine. It is a testament to all those involved in getting it from vine to bottle,” says Constantia Glen winemaker, Justin van Wyk. The blend consists of 33% cabernet franc,19% cabernet sauvignon, 18% petit verdot, 17% merlot and 13% malbec. The wine was matured for 18 months in 75% new and 25% second-fill French oak barrels. It is available from the estate, as well as at fine dining restaurants
and boutique wine shops. It sells at the cellar door for R420 per bottle. Constantia Glen was one of four South African IWSC trophy winners. The other three were: Stellenrust Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2018 (top chenin blanc), Kanonkop Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 (top cabernet sauvignon) and Waitrose Shiraz 2017 (top syrah/ shiraz). Now in its 50th year, the IWSC awards excellence in international wines and spirits.

Night-time economy to grow
V Hout Bay: Friends of the Hout Bay Museum invite you to a fireside chat at
E
fforts to grow the night-time economy (NTE) have been gaining traction in some of the world’s most prominent cities. The NTE is a catalyst for increasing a city’s attractiveness, developing its cultural offering and creating jobs. The Sound Diplomacy’s guide to managing cities revealed that the New York NTE contributes US$10 billion to the city’s economy; whereas in Sydney the NTE accounts for approximately 10% to 16% of the central business district employment; while the NTE is worth 6% of the United Kingdom’s gross domestic product or £66 billion annually. “I am excited to announce that the City of Cape Town is considering the potential opportunities associated with the NTE in Cape Town central and surrounds,” says James Vos, Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management. The City’s Enterprise and Investment Department, the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the Central City Improvement District (CCID) have formed an NTE working group. The group has been developing and sharing knowledge, which will be used to boost the outlook on the NTE.
A study is being planned to determine the potential economic outputs and job creation opportunities that the NTE offers – both directly and indirectly. “Depending on the results, my team will develop an action plan for implementation consisting of cross-cutting responsibilities. I am confident that the NTE holds the key to economic growth and employment opportunities. I am excited that Honours students from UCT have been assigned the task of conducting research in this area, supervised by Professor Francois Viruly and Professor Kathy Michell (HOD) from the Urban Real Estate Research Unit. Further research will also be concluded by the City in the 2019/20 financial year,” says Vos. Research conducted in several major cities has revealed the value and NTE economic spinoffs made by restaurants, taxis, hospitality services and entertainment, among others. “I am also of the view that Cape Town will benefit from this approach as it will diversify leisure and commercial activities, become a source of employment and additional revenue for the city, while boosting tourism,” says Vos.

Thistle slip up against Pirates SEAN CAMPBELL
W
ith the lead changing hands on a few occasions, Thistle Baseball Club let go of a 10-7 lead after five innings, to allow Helderberg Pirates to snatch a 11-10 victory in their Cape Town Baseball Federation Promotion League clash. The leaugue game took place at the Ottery Baseball Fields on Saturday 19 October. Pirates opened the scoring with two runs in the first innings. Thistle replied immediately with four runs. Pirates took the lead again with three runs in the second and one run in the third innings. Thistle bounced back and took an 8-6 lead after three innings. Both teams scored a run each in the fourth innings. Thistle scored another run in the fifth inning to hold a 10-7 lead. Pirates bounced back with a run each in the sixth and seventh inning and two runs in the eighth innings to complete their comeback and secure a 11-10 victory. Pirates scored 12 hits off Thistle’s two pitchers with Kieran Clackett (4/6), Jared Uys (2/5) and Darryn Chalmers (2/6) being their best hitters. Bantu Sotyatu (3/4) and Keegan Watson (2/4) hit best for Thistle who amassed 11 hits off the two Pirates pitchers. Revan Plaatjies started for Thistle and pitched 4.1 innings, conceding six hits and four walks while striking out two Pirates hitters. With the score at 9-7, Watson took over the pitching duties. He threw 4.2 innings also conceded six hits, walked two and struck out one. Pirates had a sluggish start on the mound with Darryn Chalmers pitching 4.1 innings, conceded nine hits, six walks while striking out seven Thistle hitters. He was replaced by Kieran Clackett who kept Thistle scoreless for the last four innings. Thistle made four errors compared to Pirates’ three. Pirates left 12 runners on base with Thistle leaving seven.

Killarney race track will burn rubber the coming weekend as Killarney Motor Show returns. The event will give car enthusiasts an opportunity to ride along as the drivers of the E36 Cup throw their BMW 3 Series racers sideways on the Extreme Arena. The E36 is the third-generation BMW 3 Series, built from 1990 to 2000; immensely popular in South Africa to this day, it’s regarded as one of the best-balanced and most ‘chuckable’ sports sedans ever offered to local petrol-heads. Powered by a screaming three-litre straight six, it’s a popular basis for rallycross and drifting specials. Local groups at the E36 Cup race these models in main circuit races or rallycross, and they’ll have about 10 cars on parade at the Killarney Motor Show on Sunday 27 October, ready to give you the ride of your life. The cars are modified for racing with very short gearing so, although their top speed is only around 185km/h, their acceleration is electrifying – and will be even more so in the tight confines of the Extreme Arena. To be part of the action will cost you R200 for five intense laps; the ride is open to all adults and children who are tall enough to see over the dashboard when strapped in. The E36 crew will provide you with a crash helmet and strap you in for the slide of your life. Book at the E36 pits at the end of the main straight, where the dragstrip crosses the Kfm Straight. You won’t have to wait there for your turn – the crew will tell you exactly when your ride is scheduled, so you can go off and enjoy the Killarney Motor Show until then. That includes a full Tar Oval Racing event; you’ll get to see them at no extra cost at the biggest, most hands-on motor show in the Western Cape, open from 10:00am to 5:00pm. This year’s show will feature no less
than four active circuits, starting with the Tar Oval, where the ‘Stockies’ will be in action all day. Next door to that is the Extreme Arena, where you’ll experience non-stop entertainment including the E36 Passenger Rides, stunts, drifting, burnouts, classic motorcycle and even vintage tractor parades and tug-o-war contests. There will be public karting on the ‘K’ circuit, while the new car dealers have their own dedicated test drive circuit for the first time, offering test drives on the latest models all day. Dakar Rally hero Kobus Potgieter will be running a round of the Western Cape Foot-Up Trials championship over all sorts of natural obstacles on the back straight, while international stunt stars the Le Riche brothers will amaze you with impossible stunts on two wheels, including riding almost four metres straight up the side of a truck! But it’s really all about the cars, trucks and motorcycles, with close to 1 300 vehicles on show, including new models not seen before in the Western Cape (some of which you’ll actually get the chance to drive on the Test Circuit), classic and exotic cars bearing names such as Porsche, Jaguar and Alfa Romeo from 1902 to the 1980s, and powerful racing cars and bikes. The Streetcar Show on the Porsche Club Straight will feature cars of all types and sizes, customised inside and out and modified as only the Mother City’s petrolheads can do it, into ‘hot rods’, Americanstyle muscle-cars and ‘stance cars’ lowered to within millimetres of the tar. Nearly all of the vehicles on show are driven to Killarney; that’s what the biggest motor show in the Western Cape is all about. It’s for real – and you’re invited! V Book at Computicket (https://tickets.computicket.com/event/killarney_motor_show/6926375) or pay at the gate. Access both events for R100 for adults, R40 for scholars under 16 and free children under 12.

Falcons started at a blistering pace scoring four runs in their first turn at bat. Lisa Erasmus kept Falcons scoreless for four innings before she crumbled, giving up five free bases in the fifth innings, allowing Falcons to score seven runs. Glenthorn could muster a mere four hits off young Amy Minnies. Meanwhile, Lavender Hill, found the resistance from Tantasport tough in their opening fixture of the season, managing a tight 4-3 victory. Roxanne Albertyn, performing duties on the pitching rubber, was also the first player to clear the fence this season. Young Melissa Savage started off the pitching for the Hill, with the more experienced Grivonne Rhoda taking over the du-
ties in the fourth innings. In the other Super League encounter, current league holders Westridge Yankees were held 2-2 by Kenfac Phillies, with newcomers Heideveld Yankees on bye in the first week.
