BONTEHEUWEL: NEW HOUSING PROJECT TO ACCOMMODATE 360 FAMILIES

Making Bonteheuwel better TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

P

lanning for a new housing project in Bonteheuwel is currently underway.

The project is set to accommodate 360 families.

Areas to be receiving the new houses include Jakkalsvlei Laan, Ivory Street and Rambo Way. Ward 50 councillor Angus McKenzie has

described this as an exciting time because the last housing development in the area happened 20 years ago. He conducted a site inspection in these areas on Tuesday 13 March, accompanied by consultants, project managers and City officials.

“I felt an immense sense of pride visiting these sites knowing that soon many families will be swopping a backyard dwelling for house they can call home. The sites will see 360 homes built for people of Bonteheuwel

who appear on the waiting list.”

He tells TygerBurger it is important to also bear in mind that Bonteheuwel has a housing waiting list of 3500 people. He further states that it is important for residents to know that he, as ward councillor, does not allocate the houses to the residents. “Houses are allocated according to the housing policy. I have no involvement in the selection process. Residents who are on the waiting list must please make sure that their details

are updated.”

Public participation and public meeting processes, which will inform the community of the plans and way forward, are set to commence towards the end of April, but an exact date is yet to be determined. “Once this process is complete, a skills audit will be conducted in the area to ensure that as far as possible locally skilled individuals are involved in the project.”

assion Play Ministries International (PPMI), a non-profit volunteer organisation, will present He’s Alive, a dramatic representation of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, at the Bellville Civic Theatre in Main Road, Bellville, from Wednesday 4 to Saturday 8 April.

The director is Bronwyne Scott, a theatre veteran with 40 years’ experience. She works with volunteers ranging from babies to octogenarians – even if they have no experience of drama and singing. She has been directing this production annually since its inception in Cape Town 20 years ago. Scott hails from Rugby, Milnerton.

The chairperson of the Cape Town board is Melvyn Abrahams from Matroosfontein who also plays the role of Jesus. The disciple Peter is played by Johan La Cante from

Kraaifontein and the role of John is portrayed by Jaeden Stevens from Brackenfell.

Ricardo Johns from Northpine plays the role of Caiaphas the high priest. Graham Ellis from Constantia plays the role of Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, while Kevin Thyssen from Belhar plays the part of Pilate.

Nicodemus is played by Darryl du Toit from Table View. Mary the mother of Jesus is portrayed by Michelle van Reenen from Bellville, alternating with Talita Stevens from Brackenfell.

Mary Magdalene is portrayed by Nelisa Rohlandt from Kraaifontein, alternating with Collette Faurie also from Kraaifontein.

They are supported by a cast of some 100 local members from all population groups, denominations, age groups and suburbs in

the Cape Peninsula, from the southern and northern suburbs – mothers, fathers, housewives, learners, accountants and more who volunteer to rehearse their roles and appear in the play because of their beliefs.

A member of the audience last year commented that this play was different from all the many movies and plays on the life of Jesus she had seen before.

“This play has touched me deeply,” she said.

Scott agrees: “This drama touches lives.

People simply come and watch and their lives are forever changed as they witness in drama the awesomeness of God’s love and forgiveness.”

FROM PAGE 1 A roadshow around Bonteheuwel will also be conducted to ensure that all those unemployed individuals are registered on the Job Seekers Database. This is to ensure that employment opportunities in these projects are given to the people of the area.

“While housing remains a huge challenge with many hurdles, the support of the community and the willingness of leaders will ensure that together we will make Bonteheuwel a better place,” says McKenzie.

In another development, R26 million has been allocated to upgrade the roads in Bonteheuwel. “Every concrete road in a bad condition will be repaired. This project is set to commence some time in June.

Belhar-Pentech housing project underway

A

new housing project is set to commence on Friday 20 April at a site located on the corner of Edison Drive and Herschel Way in Belhar.

This project by the City of Cape Town’s Transport and Urban Development Authority will cost approximately R57 million, excluding VAT. The new development will see the construction of 340 Breaking New Ground (BNG) houses.

The beneficiaries, which were chosen from the City’s waiting list in accordance with the Housing Allocation Policy, will come from Belhar, Bellville South, Ravensmead and Elsies River.

The Belhar-Pentech BNG housing project entails the building of semi-detached and free-standing single-storey houses, as well as the installation of electrical infrastructure, street lighting and sidewalks.

The City’s Mayoral Committee member for transport and urban development, Brett Herron, says the project is expected to take approximately 24 months to complete, if all goes according to plan.

“This project speaks to the City’s commitment to excellence in delivering basic services and committing resources to creating a

sense of place in less formal areas. It is also one of many that we have planned to roll out throughout the City.

“Our housing deficit is one of our biggest challenges and we are building the City one house at a time. We face a massive housing backlog and we are doing our best to expedite the delivery of housing opportunities in the City. Owning a home provides an asset but it also allows families to live in dignity and gives our residents a sense of belonging and security.”

Councillor Siyabulela Mamkeli, the City’s Mayoral Committee member for Area Central, says he is happy about the start of the project as it means that residents who have dreamed of homes will now become homeowners.

He says the development is in close proximity to the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, primary and secondary schools and the St Vincent Clinic.

There will also be open spaces that will be paved with landscaping to create spaces where children can play and residents can socialise.

O’Reilly says: “These incidents happen mainly during morning and afternoon peak hours. We need to be aware of our surroundings and not make ourselves targets. All valuable belongings should not be in sight and rather be packed in the boot of your vehicle.

Fees Must Fall has unexpected benefit

Home’s new vehicle blessed

A

Children, staff, Pallottine Sisters and Father Thaddeus attended the blessing ceremony for the new vehicle of St Joseph’s Home for Chronically Ill Children in Montana. The Rolf-Stephan Nussbaum Foundation, a long-standing supporter of St Joseph’s, contributed the shortfall needed to purchase the new vehicle.

relationship stemming from trying times has seen numerous children get to enjoy the world of music.

During the Fees Must Fall protests in 2016, the Athlone School for the Blind in Glenhaven, Bellville South, hosted the University of the Western Cape’s (UWC) Centre for Performing Arts (CPA).

This allowed the university’s academic year to continue uninterrupted at the school’s premises and ensured that various facilities were made available for use.

It was during this time that the CPA spotted the opportunity to return the favour.

“While lectures continued during the Fees Must Fall period, I noticed the Early Childhood Development (ECD) learners’ need for proper infrastructure – not to mention more instruments and a structured music programme,” says Henriette Weber, director of the CPA. Weber set to work and after a few months, funding was secured and a pilot project for an ECD music programme for visually impaired and blind learners at the Athlone School for the Blind was born. The funding would cover the purchase of instruments and the appointment of a part-time music teacher.

“Thanks to the university’s intervention

and Ms Henriette Weber, we could upgrade our teaching facilities, acquire much-needed instruments and employ music teaching staff for our ECD Department and benefit from their expertise,” notes principal, Fletcher Fischer.

The ECD music programme has now expanded to include grade R and Grade 1 learners.

A music therapist, Kirstyn Botha, has also been appointed to create a more focused approach to the programme with the aim of designing an ECD music curriculum for blind and visually impaired learners. Currently, there are 35 students in the ECD, Grade R and Grade 1 learner group and 10 trumpet students (senior phase learners) receiving tuition, with the possibility of a trombone and French horn to be added to the programme.

The school recently received the UWC Excellent Community Engagement Partner Award for their partnership with the university, as well as the Principals Award, at the inaugural UWC Awards.

Fischer also received the Principals Recognition Award at the DVC Academic School Recognition Breakfast.

“I am pleased with the award, and with our collaboration with UWC,” says Fischer.

Desiré groet nooiensvan AVRIL FILLIES

D

Suidooster-aktrise Desiré Gardner.

ie gewoonte dat getroude vroue verkies om hul nooiensvanne te behou of om dit te kombineer met hul getroude vanne, het Desiré Gardner, Carmen in die sepie Suidooster, nie aangestaan nie.

Sy is van die Suidooster-akteurs wat op Saterdag 5 Mei by TygerBurger en Suidooster se Grand Jol in die Grand Arena by GrandWest gaan wees.

Sy is ’n boorling van die Vrystaat en het haar dramagraad aan Tukkies voltooi.

“Ek het lank die rol van Daleen in Binnelanders vertolk en my huidige rol verskil baie, want Carmen is nie op haar bek geval nie. Sy hou daarvan om ’n ding te sê en soms sit sy haar voet in haar mond. Die twee karakters se klerestyl en smaak verskil ook baie, maar die een eienskap wat hulle deel, is dat wanneer hulle verlief raak, raak hulle baie verlief,” het sy gesê.

Sy het lidmaatskap van Golden Key ontvang en dit was ’n groot eer. Boonop het sy by die filmskool Starstruck School of Acting, nou Pali, baie geleer oor die skone kunste onder leiding van Shareen Swart.

“Dit was vir my man baie nice dat ek sy van wou vat en na al die ID-boeke en dinge verander is, raak mens tog gewoond daaraan. Ons het ’n vyfjarige seun, James Christopher, en ’n twintigmaande oue dogter, Robin Grace.

“Hulle het my lewe verander, maar ten goede. Dis soms moeilik om te werk en ma te wees, maar mens vind maniere om dinge te doen. Ons is ook gelukkig om ’n engel as ’n au pair te hê en James se skool- en Robin se dagmoeder het al soos familie geraak,” het Desiré gesê.

“As akteur moes ek leer om gefokus te bly al moet ek tussen tonele gou plan met die kinders maak of hulle soms op die stel hê.

Mens kan enige ding doen met die regte on-

dersteuningsnetwerk. Soms is Robin by Issy en Bolla, ons grimeerkunstenaars, of Andrea, produksie-koördineerder, en James by Gideon, Dean en Gantane, en ek moet uit my ma-skoene in my Carmen-hakke spring. Dit leer mens baie van multitasking,” het sy gesê.

Haar acting crush was Tobie Cronje en Leonardo de Caprio, maar op skool het sy net een crush gehad en dit was die Sharks- en Springbokkaptein Gary Teichman. “Ek het selfs een van ons eende na hom vernoem! Om te ontspan, hardloop, lees, skryf en lag is vir my lekker. As jy nie kan lag nie, gaan jy heeltyd huil. Die lewe is moeilik genoeg,” het sy gesê.

Sy is lief vir baldans en in haar kop is sy uitstekend, maar of sy werklik kan dans, weet sy nie.

“Ruiterbosch herinner my aan my grootwordjare in Bloemfontein, waar almal mekaar geken en geheg aan mekaar geraak het.

My ouers is my rots, maar my hele familie ondersteun my in wat ek doen. My man en kinders deel my daaglikse lewe en ons pak saam dinge aan.

“My nalatenskap moet wees dat ek mense liefgehad het, alle mense aanvaar het vir wie hulle is en dat ek my kinders geleer het om te lag en te glo.

Hannes van Wyk, Nadia Valvekens, Juanita de Villiers, André Velts en Jacques Bessenger het my baie van die kunste geleer,” het sy gesê.

Haar raad aan jong sterre is dat sommige goed tyd neem en baie van die grootste sterre, hetsy op televisie of in flieks, het baie jare ongesiens hul werk gedoen, gesukkel om erkenning te kry en “toe eendag het die meetsnoere mooi in plek geval”, het Desiré gesê.

Wat die publiek nie van haar weet nie, is dat sy nie daarvan hou om inkopies te doen nie.

“Ek is baie lomp en skaam en laat soms goed val of struikel, of maak soms my naam

krater!

“Ek sal graag eendag saam met Meryl Streep in ’n komedie wil speel, want sy is net amazing.

“My dag begin met ’n draffie om die wingerde met my Duitse herdershond en eindig met ’n glas rooiwyn as dit ’n goeie dag was,” het sy gesê.

Sy sal nie al haar rolle (ma, vrou, akteur) kan doen as dit nie vir die ondersteuning van die personeel van Suidooster is nie.

“Dis moeilik om een uit te sonder – hulle vriendelikheid, ondersteuning, liefde en humorsin maak dit lekker om by die werk te wees. Hulle laat my glimlag en dra my,” het Desiré gesê.

City to spend R2.1bn on new housing T

he City proposes to spend R2.1 billion on the development of new housing opportunities over the next three financial years, with R585 million being budgeted for 2018/19 alone.

This was revealed by Brett Herron, Mayco member for transport and urban development (TDA), in the City’s draft budget for the 2018/19 financial year, which was tabled on 28 March. The bulk of these housing opportunities will be developed on well-located land close to public transport services and job opportunities. As such, the TDA proposes to spend R105 million on the acquisition of land in the next financial year.

The draft capital budget provides a list of 36 housing developments which are either in the planning phase, already underway, or in the process of being finalised. These projects are situated in Atlantis, Heideveld, Fisantekraal, Grassy Park, Scottsdene, Durbanville, Bardale, Belhar, Delft and Blue Downs, among others.

“Most of the housing developments will be located within the City’s urban inner core, including areas adjacent to the N1, N2, N7 and M5 highways, along the R27 to the north and major arterials linking the Metro South-east with Bellville and Kuils River and the Cape Town International Airport,” said Herron in a statement to the media.

This is in line with the City’s Built Environment Performance Plan, which states that the City will prioritise public investment and incentivise private investment at public transport nodes and corridors within the City’s urban inner core.

“As such, the City will implement dense and transit-oriented development by promoting higher residential densities and mixed land use patterns, as well as regulatory reform, in support of spatial transformation,” he said.

A total of R371 million has been allocated for the construction and upgrade of public transport interchanges in the inner City, Bellville, Retreat and Somerset West, and for new minibus taxi facilities in Dunoon, Masiphumelele and Makhaza from 2018/19 until 2020/21.

The TDA will spend a proposed R232 million over the next three financial years to rehabilitate and reconstruct roads across the City. A further R327 million will be spent on facilities for cyclists and pedestrians, such as universally accessible sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and walkways in Eerste River, Elsies River, Mitchell’s Plain, Blaauberg and the northern suburbs from 2018/19 until 2020/21.

As far as congestion relief is concerned, the TDA has allocated R481 million over the next three financial years for the construction of new road infrastructure to address traffic congestion. Some of the projects that are already underway are Belhar Main Road and Erica Drive in Belhar, and Langverwacht Road in Kuils River.

“Spatial transformation must bring jobs closer to people and people closer to jobs.

Lower income households living on the periphery of the City spend on average almost half their monthly income on transport.

These residents, situated in dense, predominantly informal areas, travel at great cost to less densely populated areas of Cape Town where jobs and services are located.

“The high costs of transport and long travel distances for low-income communities to their places of employment within the urban core are an apartheid legacy which we must reverse. We also need to densify because the demand for housing is increasing rapidly,” says Herron.

The draft budget is now available for public comment on the City’s website.

Sassa adds R10 bank charge DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke Sassa social grant beneficiaries using their Sassa card to draw their money will have to pay an additional R10 in bank charges as of 1 April.

Appearing in Parliament, Sassa last week indicated that these banking charges are necessary because of the continued use of Grindrod Bank without a contract in place, pending the official takeover by the post office.

While Sassa, the National Department of Social Development and the Treasury conduct negotiations around how to subsidise this bank charge, the poor are expected to foot this bill.

Social development MEC for the Western Cape, Albert Fritz, condemned this move, saying that the poor should not pay for Sassa’s mistakes.

“This is an unjustified abuse of the poor,

considering the charge is effectively the consequence of the mishandling by Sassa of its self-created grant crisis,” he said.

“In the context of the other rising costs of living, such as the higher fuel levy and increased VAT, this tardy administration

by Sassa is unacceptable.

“Sassa is a national entity, run by the national government. The provincial department has no operational control over it. Despite this, we will continue to play our oversight role to protect the 1.5 million social grant recipients in the province.”

The disbursement of grants in cash will continue to be done by Cash Paymaster Services for another six months, as granted by the Constitutional Court, but according to Sassa, the awarding of a new contract for cash payments is already in jeopardy.

Ashley wys hakskene vir kampioen AVRIL FILLIES

D

ie feit dat Ashley Smith, 1 500 m-atleet van die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland, met die SA kampioen, Rantso Mokopane van die Noordwes-Universiteit, tydens die Varsity-atletiekbyeenkoms by Tukkies in Pretoria in die senior afdeling afgereken het, het hom moed gegee vir die SA Universiteite se veld- en baankampioenskap wat van 25 tot 29 April in Sasolburg plaasvind. Sy wentyd was 3:50,97.

“Ek was baie bly oor die prestasie, want dié seisoen het nie so goed gegaan nie. Albei kampioene, Rantso en Thembo Monoreng (vroue-atleet), was die gunstelinge om die wedlope te wen, maar moes tevrede wees met tweede plekke.

Hy is gebore en getoë in Mitchells Plain en het in ’n woonbuurt grootgeword waar sokker die botoon voer, en het besluit om middelafstande te doen.

“Ek wou aan my gemeenskap wys dat daar ander sport behalwe sokker, rugby en krieket is. Ek het besef ek het die uithouvermoë en kan oor lang afstande hardloop, en dit was maklik vir my om elke dag my oefenprogram te verbeter,” het hy gesê.

Sy pa, Fergus, is sy grootste held en hoewel hy nie ’n atleet is nie, maak sy pa alles vir hom moontlik om atletiek sy loopbaan te maak.

“My afrigter, Duane Fortuin, self ’n atleet, is ook my held, veral oor die manier waarop hy daagliks lewe en hoe hy jongmense hanteer. Op die Varsity-toernooi was ek my eie grootste teenstander, want ek het aan baie moeilike wedlope voor die byeenkoms in

Pretoria deelgeneem. Ek moes myself motiveer om goed te hardloop en het in die wedloop nie op enige ander atleet gefokus nie.

My sege was dus vir my ’n bonus,” het Ashley gesê.

Sy verhouding met sy afrigter is die sleutel tot sy sukses. “Jong atlete moet vertroue in hul afrigters hê om te glo dat wat die afrigter sê en doen, tot jou voordeel is. As dinge nie in jou guns swaai nie, moet jy nog steeds eer aan God bring, want dit is wat my tot op hede deurdra,” het Ashley gesê.

Hy is bly dat hy nie aan die SA junior byeenkomste deelgeneem het nie, want ander junior atlete het langs die pad uitgeval. Hy hoop maar sy tyd sal op senior vlak aanbreek om die SA span te haal en om op Sasolburg goed te doen. “Ek is baie trots op my kultuur en is deel van die Klopse, maar weens atletiek kan ek nie altyd deelneem nie. My ander stokperdjies is slaap en rus, want dit help my om te herstel en as atleet te groei. Dis seker hoekom ek langer as baie van my teenstanders is,” skerts hy.

Die beste raad wat hy gekry het, was van Fortuin wat gesê het dat Rome nie in een dag gebou is nie. “Geduld is die sleutel, ook in elke wedloop en ek pas dit getrou toe,” het Ashley gesê.

Hy was verbonde aan die Laerskool Imperial in Mitchells Plain en die Wes-Kaapse Sportskool in Kuilsrivier. Hy studeer tans vir ’n hoër sertifikaat in ekonomiese ontwikkeling aan die regeringskool by UWK. Sy boodskap aan jong atlete is dat jy nie moet kul nie, maar getrou aan jouself moet bly. “Moenie kyk na ander wat presteer nie, wag jou kans af en wees geduldig.”

Ashley Smith van UWK is die koning in die 1 500 m.

FUTSAL: CAPE TOWN FALCONS ONE OF THE TOP TEAMS IN THE CTMFL

Falcons in fine futsal form STEHAN SCHOEMAN

C

ape Town Falcons Futsal Club based in Goodwood may only be eight months old but they are already making waves and considered to be one of the very best teams in the Cape Town Metropolitan Futsal League (CTMFL).

The commitment from management and the impeccable and positive attitude of the players is the key to their success.

The league games are played in Goodwood, Milnerton and Atlantis with the players of the club hailing from Belhar, Bellville, Kuils River, Goodwood, Bonteheuwel and Montana.

Until the club gets a venue of their own, preferably at a school in the northern suburbs, they are using facilities in Pinelands.

It is ironic that the drought in Cape Town is responsible for the growth in futsal, seeing as soccer players in general were looking for an alternative. Futsal is played indoors on a hard surface with a smaller, denser ball (less bounce). Teams are made up of five players, with one being the goalkeeper. Substitutions are rolling and games are 40 minutes in length.

The core of the Falcons club consists of Munsif Thebus (club chairperson), Elrick

Cape Town Falcons Futsal Club is one of the top teams in the Cape Town Metropolitan Futsal League.

Front from left: Elrick Fourie (vice-chairperson), Jezreel Scheepers, Jaiden Schoor, Munsif Thebus (chairperson), Jason Beukes, Dale Scheepers, Kyle le Roux (media and communications director). Back: Shannon Thompson (club secretary), Kino van Wyk, Wesley Bosch (top goal scorer of the tournament), Ashley Bosch, Brandon Selbourne and Angus Benjamin (business development director).

Fourie (vice-chairperson and treasurer), Kyle le Roux (media and communications director), Shannon Thompson (club secretary) and Angus Benjamin (business development director).

“Futsal is definitely growing in South Af-

rica, the reason being mainly the water crisis at the moment. Clubs and schools are looking for other sporting activities for their players to maintain their fitness. Also I’d say South Africa is finally realising there is a much greater need for the development of

football compared to global leading football nations like Brazil, Colombia, Spain and Portugal. Futsal at a young age improves all aspect of the athlete’s development needed at a national and international level,” says Benjamin.

The club currently has one senior squad of fifteen players and they are working towards their goal of an additional senior team and five junior teams. Falcons recently competed in a tournament and narrowly lost 7-5 in the final against Back2Basics.

“Although we didn’t win the tournament, the day was successful for us as two of our junior players, Jayden Schoor and Wesley Bosch, were selected for the provincial u.20 trials to compete for their spot in the South African national team, and Wesley Bosch was awarded as top goal scorer (10 goals) of the tournament,” says Benjamin.

This bodes well for a club that is still growing, and the fact that they are already producing young stars is testament to a bright future.
