UITZIG HIGH SCHOOL: DESTROYED BY FIRE, VANDALS

Doors now finally closed BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

T

he end of an era came swiftly last week when learners of Uitzig High School in Uitsig were moved to other schools in the area.

The school was officially closed last year after a protracted legal battle between the community and the Western Cape education department (WCED) to keep the doors open.

Only 94 learners remained of the more than

400 learners. The final closure of the school came about after a fire broke out on 21 September. “The administration building was affected but the fire was later brought under control by the authorities. This came after a vandalism spree by members of the community,” says Bronagh Hammond, spokesperson for the WCED. While the majority of equipment and furniture were removed from the school that week, members of the community came onto the premises to steal and vandalise what was

remaining. “Mobile toilets that were due to be removed that week and to be placed at other schools were destroyed and windows, piping, door frames and wiring were all removed leaving extensive damage to all areas of the school.

“The WCED had employed several security guards to assist with protecting the school, however, they had to take refuge due to the mass of people storming the buildings.

Learners and educators from Uitsig are attending St Andrews Secondary and Raven-

smead High School. St Andrews has 22 Grade 8 learners and 24 Grade 9 learners. Ravensmead has 12 Grade 10 learners and 1 Grade 11 learner,” says Hammond.

According to Hammond after the vandalism experienced two weeks ago the WCED arranged for contractors to go in immediately to try to recover some of the infrastructure, such as the mobile ablution and classroom facilities.

The site will be handed back to provincial public works.

Danny Brown, the ‘father of Elsies’ TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

T

o many Danny Brown is known as the father of Elsies River.

Come rain or shine, he makes it his daily mission to uplift the community whether it be by helping the elderly or by doing motivational talks at schools in the area.

The 76-year-old is one of three finalists in the 70 to 80 year category of this year’s Community Champions Elders Awards.

The awards are presented by TygerBurger, People’s Post and City Vision in partnership with Spec-Savers.

Because so many people live in darkness, Brown says he is determined to be the “light” in people’s lives. “I’m passionate about giving back to my community because this is where I grew up and also raised my children. Every Monday and Wednesday, we provide the elderly with coffee and meals at the Elsies River Multi Purpose Centre. To make it fun, we also have sports days and social dances for the elderly,” says Brown who is also passionate about athletics. “Some of our people live in darkness in their homes, and in this safe space, I aim to be the light in their lives.”

He arranges for sandwiches to be distributed to Clarke Estate, where he engages with the community, which include troubled youth who faces many challenges.

“Schools invite me to speak to the learners who face disciplinary hearings and to do motivational talks with learners. I also speak to the young boys who are eager to join gangs and encourage them that there is more to life. They just need to look for the light and remain level-headed.

One of the things I believe in is discipline.”

Brown is also president of the Elsies Riv- Danny Brown. PHOTO: er Athletics Club. This sport is something he has always been passionate about. His secret, of still being “on the go”, he says, is as a result of his healthy lifestyle. “I have never smoked nor had a sip of alcohol in my life. For the past 43 years, one of my biggest commitments was running. This is something I don’t only do for my health, but my mind and spirit too.”

Through his journey in athletics, Brown learned that a big lack in the community is sporting facilities.

“In 1963 (at the age of 20), we started the athletics club to encourage youngsters to focus on their mental and physical health.

There are about 50 athletes in the club and they participate in road running, mara-

thons and cross country.”

He explains why it’s important for him to give back: “When I see people, I want to give them hope. I’m always an ear and always available for anyone who needs to talk, or someone who just wants to be uplifted.

We always need to show each other love.”

Francis Olivier (81) says Brown has been TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS “an angel” to her for the past five years: “He’s always helping me get around and is such a lovely and friendly man.”

Goodwood resident, Roseline Marinus, says she has known Brown for the past 50 years and he has not changed since: “He has always been a man for the community, doing good and giving back. He plays the role of father-figure to many of the youth in Elsies River, even those who want to become gangsters. We are blessed to have a man like him set an example of this nature.”

V The winners of the awards will be announced at a morning tea on 12 October in Cape Town. Winners and runners-up will walk away with Shoprite vouchers and other prizes sponsored by TygerBurger, People’s Post, City Vision and Spec-Savers.

Lydia Nogaga, a 76-year-old resident from Masiphumelele has been nominated for a Community Champions Elders Award by subcouncil 19 chair, Patricia Francke.

She is one of the top three finalists in the 70 to 80 year category of the awards presented by TygerBurger, People’s Post and City Vision in partnership with SpecSavers.

Lydia, who previously worked with children, has been running a club called Yizani Sibonisane Seniors’ Club since 2015. The club meets every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 14:00. “I found out that the old people are left alone at home. Their children are working and some of them can’t do much.

To sit at home doing nothing – or to be left with children – is not good for them,” she says, adding that she had another seniors’ club previously but could not continue due to lack of support.

The club has about 52 elders, including those with physical and mental challenges, who take part in the activities planned by Lydia and Thabisa Manyase, who began assisting her after the club had begun.

Thabisa says: “I make the food, ask for donations, and make a plan for funding.

Lydia started before me, and after I left my job at Pick n Pay, I just wanted to do something that’s worth it and feels like

I’m doing something different.” She says it is fulfilling to do the work she does, to cater to the sometimes forgotten members of the community.

The club receives donations from Pick n Pay, Food Lover’s Market and Checkers Muizenberg; and they are in the process of applying for funding from the department of social development, “but it’s very difficult,” says Thabisa.

Lydia says the club is important because it keeps the minds and bodies of the seniors active. “We do exercise in the morning and then after that we do a little prayer, eat our breakfast and then do sewing.”

Francke, who believes Lydia is deserving of the recognition, wrote in her nomination: “Lydia assists the elderly by getting their medication, taking it to their homes and supplying them with their necessary needs.

“She loves what she’s doing for the community and always strives to do more where she can.” The club needs wool, pots and donations for petrol to pick up and drop off seniors on each day that the club meets.

V To donate of for more information call Thabisa on 076 871 2511 or email tmanyase@rocketmail.com.

Saak van nalatigheid teen hospitaal TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

T

wee maande na haar man se dood, wag ’n weduwee van Ruyterwacht nog steeds op antwoorde rondom die oorsaak van haar man se dood.

Petronella van der Merwe het aan TygerBurger gesê daar hang nog steeds ’n wolk oor die oorsaak van die dood van haar man, Wilhelm, omdat die familie nog nie die uitslag van sy lykskouing ontvang het nie.

Volgens haar is haar man vanjaar met slukdermkanker gediagnoseer en is hy op Dinsdag 13 Augustus in die Tygerberg-hospitaal oorlede.

Volgens Van der Merwe is sy liggaam in die stort gevind.

“Ek het op die dag van sy dood om 15:00 met hom per telefoon gepraat. Hy was op pad om te gaan stort om hom reg te kry vir sy operasie die volgende dag en het gevra ek moet die aand tydens besoektyd kom en

koejawelsap saambring.

“Ek en my jongste dogter is 19:00 hospitaal toe, maar toe ons by sy kamer instap was hy nie in sy bed nie. Niemand het geweet waar hy was nie en ek het onthou dat hy vroeër die dag gesê het dat hy op pad was om te gaan stort. Die stortdeur oorkant sy kamer was toe en ’n verpleegster het aan die deur geklop, maar dit was gesluit.

“Ons het my man se foon binne die stort hoor lui, maar omdat die deur gesluit was, kon ons nie ingaan nie.

“Die verpleegster het die sleutel van die stortkamer gaan haal en die deur oopgemaak en gesê ek mag nie ingaan nie. ’n Dokter het kom kyk wat aangaan en aan my gesê dat my man oorlede is, maar dat ek nie die stort kan ingaan nie,” het Van der Merwe gesê.

Sy kon eers ’n uur later haar man sien, nadat sy liggaam uit die stort verwyder is.

Op daardie tydstip kon hulle ook nie sê hoe laat en waaraan hy dood is nie. Sy liggaam

is na die forensiese afdeling gestuur vir ’n nadoodse ondersoek.

“Ek wil my storie deel want dalk is daar nog ander wat dieselfde ervaring by die hospitaal gehad het. ’n Week ná my man se dood het ons ’n saak van nalatigheid teen die hospitaal aanhangig gemaak.

“Al wat ek wil weet is wanneer is my man oorlede en hoekom het die verpleegsters nie opgelet dat hy nie in sy bed is nie. Hoekom het niemand van hulle gevra waar hy is nie en al die tyd lê hy dood in die stortkamer?

Ons kan nie vrede vind nie, want ons weet niks van die omstandighede van my man se dood nie. Ek wil net afsluiting hê,” het Van der Merwe gesê Tygerberg-hospitaal se woorvoeder, Laticia Pienaar, sê daar was geen mediese nalatigheid aan die hospitaal se kant nie. “Ons het nog nie die resultaat van die nadoodse ondersoek gekry nie. Sodra ons dit kry sal ons die familie inlig oor die oorsaak van sy dood,” sê Pienaar.

Putting their best fashion foot forward

Charles het sedert haar oorwinning by verskeie geleenthede opgetree.

Cecilia Hume, TygerBurger se redakteur, het alle talentvolle sangers genooi om hul video’s in te stuur. “Ons wil voortbou op die eerste een en die kompetisie groter maak as wat dit was. Al kan jy nie self sing nie, weet jy dalk van iemand wat kan. Jy kan in enige van die 11 nasionale tale en enige genre sing,” sê Hume.

Met die vorige kompetisie kon baie mense se video’s weens swak kwaliteit nie gebruik word nie. Om te voorkom dat jou video uitgegooi word let asseblief op die volgende: . Vat jou tyd om die video te neem. As jy nie self kan nie, vra iemand om dit te neem. . Maak seker daar is genoegsame lig. . Moenie tydens ’n karaoke opneem nie.

Die klank is gewoonlik swak. . Moenie probeer om jou stem kunsmatig aan te pas nie, ons gaan jou uitvang.

WhatsApp video’s na 076 939 6536.

The University of the Western Cape (UWC) partnered with WearSA to host a fashion show on Saturday 4 October showcasing an incredible mix of local fashion and talent.

The City’s Mayco member for human settlements Malusi Booi visited the Valhalla Park housing project on Friday 4 October.

More housing for Valhalla

T

he Valhalla Park housing project, which will be home to 777 beneficiaries, is making steady progress.

The City’s Mayco member for human settlements Malusi Booi visited the housing project on Friday 4 October.

According to a statement, the installation of civil works is currently underway.

The construction of the state-subsidised houses will commence once the civil works have been completed.

“It is encouraging to see that the Valhalla Park housing project is making progress. The construction of the homes is expected to commence in approximately two months’ time, if all goes according to plan,” says Booi.

“Nine contractors have been appointed to fast-track work on site, particularly the construction of the houses. This will ensure that, where possible, work on site takes place concurrently to deliver the 777 houses in the shortest possible time to the benefit of the beneficiaries.

“The project has experienced delays and therefore, the City has partnered

with the Western Cape government to resume the construction of the project.”

In the coming weeks, show houses demonstrating the four design-types in the project will be built on site. The types of houses include: . free-standing single-storey . semi-detached single-storey . free-standing double-storey . semi-detached double-storey Booi says the show houses will afford the community the opportunity to see the type of houses that will be built.

“It will also be used by contractors as a template to replicate the design. Going forward, the City will make every effort to ensure that the project stays on track so that the qualifying beneficiaries can receive their homes.

“The beneficiaries will be informed when their houses are ready for occupation. In the meantime, the project steering committee, which includes representatives for the beneficiaries, is updated on matters related to the project, including its progress.”

Philippi East facility being revamped Work on the upgrade of the Vuyiseka multipurpose facility in Philippi is under way. The upgrade will ensure that the facility realises its full potential for the benefit of the community.

Built in 1987 as part of Cape Town’s bid for the Olympic Games at the time, the facility is in the heart of Philippi East. It was previously occupied by a school, while the City managed the two sports halls and outdoor sports facilities.

The City will take up office space in the facility to provide services such as law enforcement, revenue, subcouncil services, urban management, health and housing, and informal settlements management.

In the previous financial year, R7,3 million was spent on a new roof, wall cladding, waterproofing and water connections, and ablution facilities. This financial year, R20 million will be spent on, among others, security access and stone-guards, electricity and lighting, dry-walling, painting, parking and landscaping.

See: www.capetown.gov.za/thinkwater

Great green heart: The Company’s Garden is a great place to visit this summer. Packed with rare and exotic plants and a fascinating history, ringed by museums and galleries, this green heart of the city is a must-see. It's free to enter and open daily between 07:00 and 19:00.

Bringing power to the people It’s a misconception that the City makes a profit from electricity. It is sold at the cost of buying and providing it. See page 3.

M

uch has been said about the City’s electricity tariffs since the tariff hike took effect on 1 July 2019, which is the start of the new municipal financial year.

Here are some important facts in a nutshell: • All the City’s tariffs that required National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) approval were approved by NERSA. • Following a public participation process the regulated and unregulated tariffs were approved by a full Council.

• No profit is made from the sale of electricity.

• Eskom’s tariff increased by 15,6% compared to the City’s increase of 8,8%.

• Some 65% of the electricity tariff is spent on buying bulk electricity from Eskom.

• The City must buy from Eskom. It has no choice, as the law dictates this. That is

Follow your City on:

why the City is taking National Government and NERSA to court to allow it to buy some of the required energy from independent producers.

• The fixed charge for electricity is not a surcharge; it is for cost recovery only.

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SAVE You hold the power to reduce your energy bills. A large part of the energy tariff is based on usage. So, if you use less, you will pay less – and will help make Cape Town a sustainable, energy-efficient city.

• Turn down your geyser temperature to 60 ˚C. This will save you up to 5% on your electricity bill. For more ways to reduce electricity use, see https://savingelectricity.org.za/.

KORTLIKS Die Stad doen sy bes om verhogings in elektrisiteitstariewe te beperk, en vanjaar het die tariewe met slegs 8,8% gestyg – veel minder as Eskom se tariefverhoging van 15,6%. Die Stad moet volgens wet by Eskom krag koop en enige tariefverhogings moet deur die nasionale energiereguleerder goedgekeur word.

Boonop moet die Stad sy elektrisiteitsinfrastruktuur in stand hou en uitbrei, en daarom is ’n vaste heffing vir sommige gebruikers ingestel. Daar is verskeie maniere waarop inwoners hulle elek-

• The City compares well with other metros, with costs being lower in many instances.

The City does its utmost to keep cost increases to a minimum when tariffs are proposed.

It also makes considerable provisions for the most vulnerable.

The City hopes that residents and businesses understand the need for the fixed charge as a cost recovery tool to enable infrastructure maintenance.

The “buying in bulk” myth Buying electricity in bulk is not always cheaper. Only buy what you need. The lifeline, domestic and home user tariffs have two pricing blocks. The block you are charged in depends on how much you buy in a month. Buying in bulk may push you into the second block, which is more expensive and often unnecessary.

Forty elderly residents received historical title deeds at a ceremony held at Athlone Stadium on 16 September 2019.

This now gives full and unambiguous ownership to these residents, some of whom have waited for over 20 years to receive their title deeds.

The 40 beneficiaries are from Wallacedene, Langa, Atlantis, Joe Slovo, Kleinvlei, Wesbank and Mfuleni.

Empowering residents who were previously denied access to property ownership is one of the City’s priorities. Many families still live as tenants or without ownership rights in houses they have occupied for generations.

Handing over title deeds is one way in which the City can rectify the injustices of the past.

Meanwhile, the Mau Mau housing project in Nyanga is under way, and several beneficiaries moved into their homes as first-time property owners.

The first residents to receive their keys to the state-subsidised Breaking New Ground (BNG) homes were elderly citizens, who have been on the housing database for many years.

On completion in March next year, the R90 million BNG project will provide homes to 434 beneficiaries.

Check your meds City Health urges residents to do a ‘spring-clean’ of their medicine cabinets. Expired medication should never be taken, and may not be disposed of in home bins. It is also illegal to dispose of pharmaceutical waste and ‘sharps’ – such as surgical blades or syringes – in home bins.

Safely dispose of expired medicines and sharps by placing them in rigid, puncture–proof plastic containers (e.g. a plastic milk bottle) and sealing them.

Clearly mark the containers as “Expired medication” or “Sharps” and take them to your nearest City clinic or private pharmacy for safe disposal.

Extra clerks will be employed at the busier driving licence testing centres (DLTCs) such as Brackenfell, Durbanville, Gallows Hill, Hillstar, Joe Gqabi and Milnerton centres, with further appointments at other centres to be made on a priority basis.

Long waiting times at the City’s 18 DLTCs are a common complaint. In the 2018/19 financial year, these centres administered 76 178 driving tests and 124 135 learner licence tests. They also deal with the replacement and renewal of documentation, fine payments, etc.

Delays are not entirely within the

Access-to-information enquiries The City wants to raise awareness of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) and invites residents to apply to the City for access to information. PAIA gives effect to section 32 of the Constitution, which confirms the public’s right of access to information held by the state, except for records held by the Cabinet, the courts, members of Parliament and provincial legislatures.

The City has a dedicated walk-in public office, the Access to City Records Office, in the Cape Town Civic Centre to assist the public with the PAIA process.

Information that can be requested includes documents, tapes, video recordings, computer files, notes or e-mails. PAIA applies to records of public and private bod-

ies. A record means any recorded information that is in possession or under the control of the public body, whether or not created by that public body. PAIA also applies to records held by independent contractors contracted by the state.

In terms of PAIA, an applicant must be given access to records of a public body, provided that the applicant complies with all the procedural requirements, and that access is not refused in terms of any of the grounds of refusal contained in chapter 4 of the act.

For more information and to submit requests, visit www.capetown.gov.za/CityConnect. You can also send an e-mail to access2info.act@capetown.gov.za.

Water use is down, but please still save The City thanks residents and businesses for continuing to use water sparingly. In the last week of September, average daily use was 616 Mℓ/day, less than the target of 650 Mℓ/day.

Water use restrictions remain in force.

Watering of gardens or irrigation with municipal drinking water is allowed only before 09:00 or after 18:00 for a maximum of one hour per day per property,

City’s control: The NaTIS system used to process transactions falls under National Government, as do the eye-testing machines required for licensing applications. The City does what it can to improve its customer service, which the additional appointees will hopefully achieve in the coming months.

Other business improvement measures introduced at some centres include queue management systems, improved signage, and weekly activity reports on staff performance. Unfortunately, not all DLTCs can incorporate these measures, mostly due to a lack of space.

‘Backyarder’ services a first

Better conditions for backyarders: Since 2014, the City has installed 2 460 water and sanitation points to backyard dwellers on City rental property, and plans to install around 2 000 service points to backyard dwellers over the next three years.

Cape Town was the first municipality in the country to provide services to those living as backyarders on Council-owned property.

The backyarder programme started in 2014 and provides one-on-one water, refuse and electricity services to these residents.

Backyarders who live on private property or on invaded land will not benefit, as the Municipal Finance Management Act determines that public money may not be used for enhancing private properties.

More than R850 million has been earmarked over three years for upgrades to informal settlements and backyarder services. Of this, R713 million has been budgeted for investment in backyarder service provision and the informal settlements upgrade programme.

In addition, some R150 million is budgeted for the delivery of electricity services to the backyarder community.

The growth in the number of backyarders is a direct result of rapid urbanisation and the growing need for more affordable housing closer to urban centres.

Just over R1,6 billion has been budgeted over the next three financial years to provide formal subsidy houses and affordable rental opportunities near urban centres.

Yet the City cannot solely rely on these options, but must also look towards enhanced backyarder services provision and informal settlements upgrades.

The City will continue promoting transport-oriented development, working towards reversing apartheid spatial planning.

How the City’s electricity tariffs work Providing reliable electricity services to all Capetonians is a complex business.

T

he City does what it can to make electricity accessible and affordable for all its residents. It does not profit from the sale of electricity.

Of income derived from electricity sales, 65% goes to Eskom, which sells the bulk electricity to the City, 25% goes toward the maintenance of the electricity grid, and 10% to the rates account, which helps pay for shared services.

This financial year, the City has been able to limit electricity tariff increases to 8,8% – much less than Eskom’s 15,6% increase – and has implemented tariffs that it believes are as equitable as possible.

The City must maintain and extend its extensive electricity infrastructure (see the panel “City Electricity by the numbers”), regardless of how much electricity is sold.

Tariffs and thresholds Electricity consumption is measured in kilowatt hours, and one City electricity billing unit is equal to one kilowatt hour.

A kilowatt hour (kWh) is a measurement of energy where 1 000 watts of power is sustained for one hour. So, an electric heater consuming 1 000 watts and operating for one hour uses one kWh of energy. A television consuming 100 watts operating continuously for 10 hours also uses 1 kWh. The City charges households three different rates for electricity – lifeline, domestic and home user. The lifeline tariff is designed to help the poor afford a basic level of service. Please see the panel below for an explanation of the three tariffs.

All three tariffs have two pricing blocks with usage thresholds. If you cross the

To compensate for the impact of this charge, home users pay less per unit for the first 600 kWh than consumers on the domestic tariff.

Home user service charge This tariff contains a service charge of R163,32 per month (R142,02 plus VAT).

Money generated from the service charge helps maintain the City’s electricity infrastructure, including power lines, substations, transformers and meters.

Small-scale embedded generation There is also a small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) tariff for customers with Cityapproved grid-tied feed-in SSEG systems, such as solar photovoltaics. For more information, enter "SSEG" in the search box on the City's website.

You will be charged the DOMESTIC tariff if you: • own a house valued at more than R400 000 and less than R1 000 000; • have a prepaid meter; or • consume, on average, more than 450 kWh per calendar month per year.

You qualify for the LIFELINE tariff if you: • have a prepaid meter, and • receive less than 450 units on average per month, and • live in a property with a municipal valuation of less than R400 000, or • receive a rebate (pensioner, indigent, disabled), irrespective of property value.

Lifeline customers receive some free electricity, namely: • 60 kWh per month if they use less than 250 kWh (on average) per month.

• 25 kWh per month if they use between 250 and 450 kWh (on average) per month.

The Lifeline tariff is not to reward lowconsuming customers, but to but to help the poor afford a basic level of service.

KORTLIKS Van die inkomste wat die Stad uit elektrisiteitsverkope verdien, gaan 65% na Eskom, wat die elektrisiteit in groot maat aan die Stad verkoop; 25% word gebruik vir die instandhouding van die kragnetwerk, en 10% gaan na die gemeenskaplike belastingrekening.

About the three electricity tariffs You will be charged the HOME USER tariff if you: • own a property valued at more than R1 000 000, as users in this category are not regarded as destitute. This is the most equitable way found to classify the cost. Rates and services relief may still be provided depending on household income; • have a prepaid meter; or • have a credit meter, regardless of property value.

Eskom customers Eskom customers can consult www.eskom.co.za for their tariffs. They can also refer any queries directly to the Eskom national Sharecall number on 0860 037 566 or by sending an e-mail to western@eskom.co.za.

Apply for rebates and other types of financial relief The City invites property owners who are aged 60 years and older, or are indigent or dependent on social grants, to apply for financial assistance by 30 November 2019.

Residents who already receive these rebates must reapply, as their three-year cycle ended in June, following the new property valuation implemented on 1 July 2019.

The City has earmarked some R1,2 billion for rates rebates and R1,7 billion for indigent relief.

Property owners receiving a pension or social or disability grants, and whose monthly household income is less than R17 500, may qualify for rates discounts.

Let there be light: Supplying electricity to a city with 4,2 million residents is an enormous undertaking. threshold, you will start paying more for your electricity. In other words, if you use more electricity than usual, you will end up paying a higher rate.

4 CITYNEWS Learners’ walk to school now safer The City has installed a signalised crossing at AZ Berman Drive, Mitchells Plain, for Tafelsig Primary School learners to cross this busy road safely.

The R1 million project included road markings, road traffic signs, vehicle detection using camera technology, and audio-tactile pedestrian push buttons. Learners and other children can now safely cross over to school or the play park.

The City urges motorists on this road to drive carefully, adhere to the speed limit and traffic signal, and be on the lookout for children.

• Please report traffic signal faults to 0800 656 463 (24 hours).

School crossing is state-of-the-art.

Ottery Road to be rehabilitated

The City is investing R20 million in the rehabilitation of Ottery Road and part of Olieboom Road in Philippi.

Ottery Road provides an important link off Jakes Gerwel Drive and Govan Mbeki Drive to the Philippi horticultural and industrial area.

Construction is to start in midOctober 2019 and will take approximately seven months. New sidewalks will be built in the southern section of Ottery Road, while the traffic circle and sidewalks will also be rehabilitated.

Progress with housing and power New housing opportunities in Philippi and electrification in Nyanga

T

he R90 million Sweet Homes informal settlements upgrade project in Philippi aims to improve the lives of the community. The R60 million first phase includes construction of roads, stormwater and sewer networks, electricity infrastructure, and ensuring a safer space.

However, the true cost of the upgrade is enormous, as the project is marred by violence. In the past 24 months, 13 people lost their lives. These include two security guards, a construction worker and eight community members, and recently also two City law enforcement officers, who were shot while protecting contract workers.

Affordable housing in Philippi The City’s advisory panel on planning appeals gave the green light for four privatesector developments that will provide over 240 affordable housing units in Philippi.

These developments will be located between Strandfontein, Ottery and Boundary roads, close to public transport services and major routes, alongside the Philippi horticultural area (PHA).

Life’s a beach: Cape Town’s 307 km coastline has more than 70 beaches.

By-law to better protect beaches

Let there be light: More than 97% of City-supplied households have access to electricity.

The developments will consist of 242 flats intended for lower to middle-income households on several sites in Knole Park.

Mabophe Square electrified In August, 333 residents at Mabophe Square, Nyanga East, received electricity to their homes. The project cost R3 million.

Pool openings delayed for repairs The City opened 16 municipal swimming pools in time for the spring school holidays, in addition to the four indoor pools that are open year-round.

Annually, more than 1,5 million people visit the City’s swimming pools.

The pools are popular for relaxation and socialising, but are also targeted by vandals and criminals.

In fact, users of the Trafalgar Park and Elsies River pools have been deprived of these facilities due to theft and vandalism. It is hoped repairs will be completed in time for the summer season.

The pools in Parowvallei, Ruyterwacht, Lentegeur and Delft are also undergoing repairs and maintenance work, but should be ready for the peak summer

period. The Bellville, Elsiesrivier and Ravensmead swimming pools will not be open this season due to renovations.

• For a list of open pools, search under "Swimming pools" on www.capetown.gov.za.

KORTLIKS

Community cooperation was critical for the success of the project, as informal structures had to be shifted to enable the electrification work to proceed.

Electrification projects, along with other basic services projects, are ongoing across the city, and 97,3% of City-supplied households have access to electricity in general.

Illegal dumping could cost you Persons caught dumping their waste illegally will have their vehicle seized and impounded. The vehicle will not be released until the criminal case is concluded and on receipt of the fees payable, which include an impoundment fee.

The fees are R8 700 for a first offence, R11 700 for a second offence, and R17 400 for a third offence. The offender will also be fined with R5 000 for contravening the by-law .

• Report illegal dumping to the call centre on 0860 103 089, or on the emergency number (107 from a landline, or 021 480 7700 from a mobile).

The City has drafted a by-law to better manage, protect and improve safety along Cape Town’s coastline, which draws millions of visitors and contributes some R40 billion to the local economy each year.

The proposed by-law addresses poaching or illegal fishing; harvesting, removal or damaging of indigenous coastal vegetation and other natural material; littering, pollution and dumping; encroachment of private property; measures to remove encroachments; possession of liquor or drugs; hawking or doing business illegally; launching of vessels, and issuing of fines for contraventions.

Following a month-long public participation process, the draft by-law will now go before Council’s Portfolio Committee on Spatial Planning and Environment in November, and then to a full Council meeting for approval early in 2020.

Hanover Street is back On Heritage Day, Keizersgracht in District Six again received its original, historical name, "Hanover Street".

The request was made by the District Six Working Committee in June 2019. After a public participation process in which 1 195 residents and interested parties submitted comments – 96% of them in favour, the proposal was approved by a full meeting of Council.

Verskeie Philippi-behuisingsprojekte is hetsy aan die gang of aan die kom. Dít sluit die opknapping van die informele nedersetting Sweet Homes in, wat R90 miljoen kos, en vier privaatsektorontwikkelings wat meer as 240 behuisingseenhede sal voorsien.

Altesaam 333 inwoners van Mabophe Square, Nyanga-Oos, het in Augustus elektrisiteit in hulle huise gekry. Die projek het R3 miljoen gekos.

Keizersgracht in Distrik Ses het op Erfenisdag weer sy oorspronklike naam, Hanoverstraat, ontvang.

Die Stad het ’n seinkruising in AZ Bermanrylaan, Mitchells Plain, geïnstalleer sodat leerders van die Primêre Skool Tafelsig hierdie besige pad veilig kan oorsteek.

Sestien munisipale swembaddens sal dié somer oop wees. Party swembaddens het egter so erg onder vandale deurgeloop dat dit nie sal kan oopmaak nie.

Persone wat betrap word dat hulle onwettig vullis stort, kan hulle voertuie verloor. Die Stad sal op die voertuie beslag lê en dit skut totdat die strafsaak afgehandel en enige boetes betaal is. Boetes is stewig en kan tot R22 400 vir ’n derde oortreding beloop.

Die Stad het ’n verordening opgestel om die Kaapstadkuslyn beter te bestuur, te beskerm en te beveilig.

Die konsepverordening sal in November voor die Raad se portefeuljekomitee oor ruimtelike beplanning en omgewing dien, waarna ’n volle Raadsvergadering dit vroeg in 2020 vir finale goedkeuring sal oorweeg.

SLICE OF LIFE

How do you explain cruel world to child Have you ever just stared at your child while they’re asleep?

All you see on their angelic face is innocence and purity.

Their thoughts only consist of wanting milkshake, playing with friends, eating M&M’s and just being purely happy.

They are not aware of the dangers that lurk outside.

While driving to a doctor’s appointment with my six-year-old daughter, the news of 19-year-old Uyinene Mrwetyana’s murder was being discussed on a commercial radio station.

Mrwetyana, a UCT student, was raped and killed, allegedly by a 42-year-old employee at the Clareinch post office in Claremont. During this time, my six-yearold was buckled up in the back seat. I thought she was playing with her toys as she always does. But to my surprise, she was attentively listening to the discussion. Then all of a sudden she blurted out a question I thought I’d never have to explain until she’s a bit older.

Her question was: “Mommy, what does it mean when they say her body was found?”

This moment was the death of me.

I paused and had to think of the most subtle way to answer her question.

My response? I struggled with a response for quite some time until I said, “We live in such a cruel world that sometimes there are people who kill others.”

I didn’t know how else to break it down to her. One would assume that as a journalist who works in areas in the Cape Flats, it would be easy to explain the plague to my child, but it’s unfortunately not that simple.

When I reflect back on my childhood, I recall not having knowledge about murders and rapes, yet today we need to be informing our children about it to keep them from harm’s way.

At six years old, questions I posed to my parents included me wanting to play hopscotch or three-sticks in the street with friends.

Not questioning about what it means when people say “‘her body was found”.

My mother allowed me to play outside until the street lights came on. Today, I won’t allow my daughter to set foot outside the house unless I’m with her, and that’s even if it’s in the garden.

We could play hide-and-seek outside back then, but today if our children should do the same there is no guarantee that we will see our child again.

I know that seems a bit dramatic to say, but it’s so true. That very place that your child decides to hide, could be the very place a perpetrator catches him or her.

Sleepovers? Allowing our children to go out to sleepovers today is not as simple as it was when we were children.

Of the many first thoughts that come to mind when I think of that is, “who will protect my child while I’m not around?

Will her innocence be taken advantage of? Is she safe? Will someone look at her in an appropriate manner, thinking inappropriate thoughts?”

The simplicity of being a child in today’s society has been jeopardised by so many criminal elements. As a parent to a little girl, I often wonder of ways to educate my daughter about the cruelty that awaits outside while mom is not around, but how do we do this subtly?

My concern in doing this is that I don’t want to infiltrate her mind with thoughts of fear, but she needs to be informed about the harsh reality we live in.

– Tarryn-Leigh Solomons

“Mommy, what does it mean when they say her body was found?”

WP Media journalists shine: WP Media (publishers of People’s Post, City Vision and TygerBurger newspapers) celebrated two awards at the 2019 Diageo SA Responsible Media Drinking Awards (RDMAs). The 9th annual awards ceremony was held at the Four Seasons Westcliff Hotel in Johannesburg on Thursday 3 October. WP Media news editor Samantha Lee-Jacobs won the best up-and-coming category, with TygerBurger journalist Esme Erasmus winning the best Newspaper: Community category.

Lee-Jacobs was also a finalist in the same category, while Erasmus was also a finalist in the best online category. The RDMAs recognise journalists and media at large for their efforts to positively influence perceptions and habits related to the irresponsible use of alcohol.

Spring self in en maak skoon Ek stem saam dat die Stad Kaapstad min doen aan die onderhoudskwessie van ons woonbuurte.

Die vraag is net, hoekom hou inwoners nie hulle eie pad en sypaadjies skoon nie?

Ek vee gereeld my straat en sypad skoon en spuit onkruid dood.

Mense moet ophou wag vir iets om te gebeur en self inspring. As daar ’n parkie naby jou is, kry die bure bymekaar en sny die gras. So leer julle die mense beter ken. Plant vetplante en raak besig, dis tot voordeel van julle eie huis se waarde!

Hier naby ons was ’n oom wat Brackenfell-boulevard se sypaadjies elke dag skoongemaak het – wat ’n voorbeeld vir almal.

Ek dink daar was oor hom in TygerBurger geskryf.Daar is boonop mense wat vir hulle eie tuine niks voel nie.

Dit laat die straat sleg lyk, so iemand moet ook aangespreek word.

JOHAN GREEFF E-pos

Too old for online communities I am sending this email per a hand-me-down phone of my grandson. Nowadays, what one hears is: “Do it online”.

As a pensioner, I can’t afford a computer or a fancy phone to do this – my friend was hacked and her and her husband’s accounts were cleaned out. They got hardly anything back.

This online process is supposed to save paper, but now electricity is used. “Six of one and half a dozen of the other”? So when the power is off, we again hear “sorry, we’re offline, come

again later”. This after having to take two buses (if they are running) and about two hours to get there. Of course, there is no printed backup to refer to – we had them in the “old days”.

Businesses should remember that not all people have or can afford this modern technology.

Blaffende honde steur my ‘nuus tyd’ Ek sit lekker die TygerBurger en lees, en ek is “gatvol”!

Ek kan nie myself hoor nie want drie bure om my het honde wat dag en nag blaf.

Hulle hoor dit nie want hulle werk – die honde is aldag alleen. Wat maak ek?

Ek het al met oorpluisies probeer slaap maar ek moet kan hoor as die alarm miskien afgaan.

Hulle gee natuurlik nie om vir andere nie.

Die honde beteken ook niks, want as hulle aldag blaf gaan niemand weet of daar iets verkeerd is nie.

Pavements are a huge concern Dear Stapper (“Skerp klippe op sypaadjies is ’n gevaar”, TygerBurger 18 September) I am very pleased that someone else is also concerned about many property owners taking the liberty of “decorating” the pavements in front of their homes with sharp rocks. I agree that these rocks pose a hazard and make it impossible for pedestrians or animals to walk on the pavements. The whole reason for a pavement is to provide a safe place for pedestrians to walk.

Another new tendency is for property owners to continue their gardens onto their pavements, often completely covering the pavement with shrubs, therefore also making it impossible for pedestrian access. Subject to municipal approval, homeowners should only be allowed to plant trees or lawn on a pavement and thereafter ensure that the lawn is mowed and tidy.

Surely some bylaws prevent property owners from interfering with (or annexing of) municipal pavements for their own use or benefit? Come on municipal managers – do your jobs and stop homeowners from covering pavements with rocks or gardens, or soon there will be no pavements at all for people to walk on and everyone will always have to walk in the street!

We’re appealing his lenient sentence In response to Clive Kihn’s and Anon from Brackenfell’s recent letters (“Justice system is failing us”, TygerBurger 25 September and “Murder was tragic and unnecessary”, TygerBurger 2 October) may I thank both for their most welcome support.

I am the mother of Hilary van Rooyen who was the innocent victim of this brutal murder at her home in Durbanville on 9 May 2017 and I would further advise, the family has appealed this lenient and below minimumlevel sentence.

Our appeal is due to be heard on 2 December in the Cape Town High Court when we pray true justice will prevail for our beloved Hilary and consequently restore our faith in the South African justice system.

Not fair to prohibit fishing in dams I have noticed that at every dam like Vygeboom, Sonstraal and Majik Forest fishing is prohibited. Personally, I believe this is really not fair.

I am a respectable fisherman who loves to go and be in a peaceful environment to catch fish. I catch them, treat them like my own pets, gently release them and take any rubbish with me when I go.

Please tell me, what damage am I or any other of these fishermen causing by doing this? Residents don’t mind either except for one or two that have nothing better to do than to start something.

There is a lot worse that goes on in this world than some innocent fisherman doing something they love.

Carp and bass are invaders yet they are still beautiful fish and I think that being allowed to fish at these dams is a lot better than kids resorting to doing other things that are not savoury.

What if I had a problem with people walking around the dam? Should I make a scene? I live close to these dams and I think prohibition of fishing in these dams is really just unfair and disallowing people to fully enjoy their recreational parks. It really gets to me and a lot of others.

Permit to fish Door De Kraal? What about the same permit to fish at these other dams?

I have never seen anyone fishing there that make a noise or cause a disturbance for the people that stay around the dam.

Seriously, having these dams in our community and then disallowing fishing in it is like dangling a carrot for a donkey on the opposite side of a fence.

Minister mans EMS call centre RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj

T

he Western Cape minister of health, Nomafrench Mbombo, recently got behind the switchboard herself at the Tygerberg Hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) call centre, to get a taste of what these government employees deal with on a day-to-day basis.

The visit was part of the government’s improvement plan for EMS, that will soon be implemented, Nomawethu Sbukwana, spokesperson, says.

“This visit comes after the minister noticed that in the last four years there had been

a significant drop in the performance of emergency medical services.

“In 2016 EMS reached about 61,7% of all urban priority one cases. They were reached within 15 minutes. In 2018 and 2019 this number dropped to 46,8%,” Sbukwana says.

The minister said that there are numerous reasons for the decline in performance. These include attacks on ambulances and an increase of violence in communities. The consequences of these are felt by EMS staff who have reported increasing levels of post-traumatic stress disorder as well as by patients who have to wait long for ambulances, especially in the so called red zone areas.

“It is exactly in these danger areas where

the need for EMS is the highest.

“The poor response time is most severely felt by the most vulnerable, such as pregnant women who have to wait long for ambulances or pensioners who suffer heart attacks,” Sbukwana, says.

Minister Mbombo indicated that in order to address this problem effectively, the department needs to embark on a multi-prong strategy that includes a whole-of-society approach, community engagement, improved efficiency and investment.

Mbombo adds that the department had set itself ambitious targets to improve the performance of the EMS and that she believes that these targets will address critical servi-

ce delivery for all residents in the Western Cape. “As a department, we have identified five key strategies that are critical in addressing EMS challenges. These include mitigation of social determinants; service redesign; leadership; governance; peoples management and a corporate support strategy.

“The minister believes that with this the department will be able to address all these challenges,” Sbukwana says.

The visit took place on Monday 30 September. “This was her first visit to the EMS and she will continue with it.”

On the day Mbombo took and directed calls that came through on the emergency helpline.

Shoddy workmanship irks military veterans BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

Trail Run

A military veteran is starting to feel disappointed in the house that he got as part of a scheme to reward veterans.

Pensioner Bernard Lockyer received the house in Belhar from the department of military veterans.

His joy has now been curbed because of shoddy workmanship, says his daughter, Carol-Ann Lockyer. “My dad is very grateful to all involved for receiving the house, but is very unhappy at the moment because of the shoddy work done while building the house. First of all the geyser that is used for the house is a solar geyser but has no capacity for an element, which means during the

winter months it’s mostly cold water supply unless we’re lucky enough to have a few days of sun for the water to heat up a bit. There is no ventilation in the house and as a result, the house is permanently damp. We have recently found out that the reason for this is because of the roof, which was not sealed properly and as a result the water leaks through all the holes on the roof, dams up and then seeps through into the walls which stay wet permanently. The damp that has formed are now going mouldy,” says Carol-Ann. Carol-Ann asked a roofing company to give a quote to repair the roof and she was shocked to find out how much it costs. “It will cost my dad more than R5 000 to fix the problems. This is just to sort out the roof. There’s still the added cost of buying paint and getting someone to put ventilation in the house – all added expenses that could have been avoided if the house was built, and inspected, properly from the beginning,” says Carol-Ann. TygerBurger spoke to Nic Speelman, an inspector from the human settlements department who has knowledge of the military housing situation. “I have had communication with Carol-Ann, even if she is not the owner of the house. But the situation is more complicated than she makes it,” says Speelman.

He explains that the veterans moved into the houses more than two years ago. “We have followed all the building protocols with snag lists as well as the latent defect period and have been more than willing, with the help of the developer, CalgroM3, to fix all the defects.

“The problem is that every now and then there is a new committee

At one stage, they even asked for someone whom they have chosen to fix the problem and we agreed. Then they decided that it is not the right person for the job. We have been bending backwards to accommodate these people, but we cannot find common ground. I am even too scared to meet with them because some are aggressive,” says Speelman.

He says the roofs are under guarantee so if the committee allows them to have it fixed it will be fixed.

TygerBurger tried find out who the latest committee is, but to no avail.

Space for students with disabilities T

he University of the Western Cape in Bellville recently opened a space for students with disabilities due to the foresight of Evadne Abrahams.

The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSwD) which has been moved to a new, universally designed space on the ground floor formally began operating in 1996.

“In the late 80s a student stormed into my office at UWC and threw his books on the floor. He wanted to know how he was supposed to do his test as he was blind and he received a written test. I then went on this journey to assist students with disabilities – something the apartheid regime did not cater for at UWC,” Abrahams said.

She took the students test to the Athlone School for the Blind in Glenhaven and had his test transcribed into braille. The office has helped hundreds of students with a vast array of disabilities including hearing and visual impairments, chronic medical conditions, as well as learning impairments such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Almost exactly 42 years after joining the university, Abrahams has just retired as the manager for the OSwD). To this day she still has contact with that young man and many alumni who have graduated through this office, and who are very successful in life.

The new office was made possible through a funding partnership between UWC and the department of higher educa-

The new open space for students with disabilities that opened on Monday 2 September at UWC. tion and training. Abrahams struggles to contain her excitement about the new space. She never imagined that the young man she met so many years ago would change her life so dramatically. “He opened my eyes to the plight of students who were seen as different – who were seen as not normal.

“I realised that this was the area in which I could do something. I was very active in the anti-apartheid struggle, but this was another kind of freedom I had to fight

for,” said Abrahams. Currently the OSwD supports 212 students with disabilities.

Abraham’s successor is Verushka Daniels, who emphasised that the significance of this new space lies in its universal access design.

“This means that the ground floor space is fully accessible for all students with disabilities, from wheelchair accessible nonslip flooring to height accessible fixtures in restrooms, and high-contrast tactile wall tiles for blind and visually impaired stu-

dent. You’ll see high contrast colours throughout the office space to reduce any strain for visually impaired students, and new emergency exits for wheelchair users and mobility impaired persons. Our restroom doors are easier to open and door handles are lowered for the vertically challenged students. We also have larger test and exams venues to accommodate all students,” said Daniels.

The office provides an array of services, including converting academic material to braille, providing computer software for students who cannot write, and providing a conducive space for students to write examinations.

Laetitia Permall, director for the Centre for Student Support Services, is equally excited about the new space – the first of its kind at the University. “We conducted a universal design audit and discovered that there are so many challenges that students with disabilities face. We used the recommendations from the audit to design this space. Physical access is the first step to changing the trajectory for access for people into other areas of society.

“The doors of learning shall be open’”, said Permall. Carmen Loubser has worked in the office for 18 years. “Students often share things with me because I have a disability and they feel that I can relate. There will be obstacles. It will be hard, but we are here to ensure that it is easier for them to overcome those obstacles,” said Loubser.

Dienssentrum maak verskil in gemeenskap AVRIL FILLIES Die Tygerberg-dienssentrum vir Seniors in Parow het die afgelope maand twee projekte van stapel gestuur om inwoners meer bewus te maak van watter dienste hulle bied.

Altesame 350 spesiale maaltye is deur die dienssentrum uitgedeel en die vrywilligers en bestuur het ook meer geleer oor hoe om rommel tot voordeel van die omgewing te gebruik.

“Die bestuur van die die dienssentrum, vrywilligers, skenkers, die jeug en die Adventist Motorcycle Ministry (AMM), het by die 15 woonstelblokke in Parow die seniors besoek en die vullende ete uitgedeel,” sê Linda Louw, projekbestuurder by die dienssentrum.

Volgens haar het die inwoners en kinders die ete geniet en met groot dankbaarheid ontvang.

“Diegene wat ons vergesel het, het

ook eerstehands gesien wat ons in die gebiede wat ons bedien, doen.

Die skenkers wat bygedra het tot die sukses van hierdie projek, moet bedank word, want sonder skenkings kan ons uitreikprojekte nie moontlik wees nie,” sê Louw.

Tot en met einde September is toebroodjies in Bellville en Leonsdale uitgedeel en die toebroodjies is deur werknemers van Pep in Ravensmead verskaf. “Een van die interessantste inligtingsessies wat die vrywilligers en die bestuur bygewoon het, was die praatjie oor rommel en rommelstrooiing. Die titel was Reduce, Re-use, Recycle, was baie gepas, want ons moet na ons planeet en omgewing kyk. Die praatjie is aangebied deur die departement bestuur van vaste afval in die Stad Kaapstad,” sê Louw. Na afloop van die praatjie, het die bestuur en vrywilligers by die dienssentrum besluit om voortaan die afval daar

te herwin. “Die inligting was waardevol, insiggewend en motiverend.

Ons het sedertdien houers uitgesit waarin die seniors die afval kon gooi en help om ons omgewing en die dtad skoon te hou. Ons wil ’n voorbeeld as goeie landsburgers aan die jeug stel en hopelik sal hulle ons navolg,” sê sy.

INDOOR CRICKET: NARROW LOSS IN FINAL

Predators show teeth AVRIL FILLIES

T

he success of the u.12 Western Province Predators indoor cricket team at the interprovincial Zambezi Tournament in Pretoria recently, was no easy feat.

They managed to get all the way to the Shield Final where they narrowly lost to Central Gauteng Cubs.

They are the first team to represent Western Province in this age group and learned valuable lessons in Pretoria.

The players reside in Kenridge and Blouberg and were very excited about being selected to represent their province.

“The team was officially capped in May and have been training at Montague Arena for the tournament.

“We as a club are proud of this achievement and hope to make the province and the parents proud in our future endeavours,” says Shelley Gericke, team manager.

The players spoke about the tournament when they returned to Cape Town and what it meant to them.

Pete Jordaan (12), captain, said: “I feel the tournament and cricket was of a very high standard, with teams participating from all over South Africa.

“We had a pretty tough start, but towards the end showed our true character and did really well, especially considering that it was our first tournament.

“I love action cricket, because it is fast, fun and challenging. My cricket hero is Jacques Kallis – he is the best all-rounder in the history of the game.

“You need the skills of an all-rounder for indoor cricket as you need to be able to bowl, bat and field,” Jordaan said.

Enzo Whittaker (11) says he plays indoor cricket because he loves all kinds of cricket.

“Indoor cricket has taught me so many different life lessons, there is not enough space to list them,” he said.

Cameron Hunter (11) said he loves cricket so much that when he got the opportunity to play indoor cricket, he was so excited.

“I learned a lot and made some great new friends. I really enjoyed the tournament and will never forget the fun we had. I am so happy I got to play my favourite sport for Western Province,” he said.

Matthew Brooker (12) said he loves playing action cricket because he loves the team sport and the spirit.

“I formed relationships with all the boys in the team. I love the fast pace of the game and the adrenaline rush. I would love to continue on the journey,” he said.

Bryce Gilder (10) said he likes action cricket because it is fast non-stop action.

“Everyone gets a chance to bat and bowl and I like catching off the net. From playing the game I made new friends and received my WP colours,” he said.

Josh Gericke (12) said he loves that in the game we all get to play every position and role in the team, which makes it exciting and busy the entire match.

“I also have many of my close friends in the team with me, so that makes it so much fun! I never get enough and can’t wait for the next tournament!” he said.

Jarred Prince (11) believes action cricket is much faster than the normal game. You must think fast and react fast to the balls.

Every game is different, and your opponents are different.

“It’s about what you learn from game to game. That makes the game very interesting and learning from what the coach teaches you. You must also trust your teammates,” he said.

Pumas spog met WP-aanwins Die Pumas spog met nóg ’n aanwins uit die Westelike Provinsie as Allistair Mumba (21) hom op 1 November by die unie aansluit.

Hoewel Mumba sy rugbydebuut in die WPCravenweekspan (LSEN) in 2015 in Worcester gemaak het, het hy van 2017 tot 2018 die Griffons in die o.20-kompetisie verteenwoordig voor hy vanjaar in die senior Curriebe-

Allistair Mumba

kerspan opgeneem is.

Hy was ’n leerder van die Laerskool Fanie Theron en die hoërskole Monumentpark (albei in Kraaifontein) en Westcliff (Bellville), voordat hy by die Griffons aangesluit het.

Mumba speel heelagter, senter en vleuel, maar verkies om op eersgenoemde uit te draf. Hy het verskeie rugbytoekennings ontvang, waaronder een vir die meeste drieë (17 in agt wedstryde) by die Griffons toe hulle as die o.20-kampioene gekroon is.

By Westcliff is hy as die belowendste speler en die beste agterspeler aangewys. In 2016 was hy die kaptein van die WP se LSEN- Cravenweekspan en was ook deel van die SA LSEN-span tydens die Akademie-week in Durban.

Mumba blink nie net in rugby uit nie, maar het die WP in 200m, hoogspring en verspring verteenwoordig en was ook deel van die SA span wat in Limpopo in 2014 deelgeneem het. Hy het ook sy Boland-kleure tydens die SA Judokampioenskap in Port Elizabeth in 2007 verwerf.

Sy afrigter by die Griffons, Jacques Juries, beskryf hom as volg: “Hy het al die vaardighede vir vandag se agterspelers, is beweeglik en vinnig van die merk. Hy het visie, ’n ongelooflike systap en kan die bal aan ’n speler in ’n beter posisie gee as hy gelak word. Hy sal ’n aanwins wees vir enige provinsie en is baie gewild onder spelers en afrigters.
