TAURIQ HASSEN

A CHARITABLE event planned for Augusthad better watch its step after a number ofcomplaints around noise streamed in fromGreen Point residents during their lastevent.The Peninsula School Feeding Associa-

tion’s Blisters for Bread Charity Fun Walkgot on the wrong side of residents in Augustlast year, when amplified sound startingfrom the early hours of the morning causedmuch distress among residents.This prompted the Green Point Ratepay-

ers and Residents’ Association to draw up aset of noise guidelines for all event organis-ers wanting to host their events in the area.BobGoebel, the association’s chairperson,

explains that while he fully supports theevent, he also wishes to look after the resi-dents’ interests.“The noise issue is still one of the major

things plaguing this community and it’s notonly this event that is at fault. We have for-mulated this set of guidelines to ensure thatwe do not experience similar problems in fu-ture,” he says.Goebel confirms that the association has

already received an application from theBlisters for Bread organisers. The walk isearmarked to take place on Sunday 25 Au-gust.“Our main aim this time around is to

avoid what happened last year. There wereseveral complaints around the noise and us-age of amplified sound.We hope these guide-lines would be able to assist the event organ-isers,” he says.Andre Bester, amember of theHumanEn-

vironmental Committee for the association,explains that amplified announcements areonly allowed for “seven key events” thattake place annually in the area.The Jive Big Walk, Cape Argus Cycle

Tour, Spar Ladies Race, Cape Town Mara-thon,GunRun,DiscoveryBigWalkandBlis-ters for Bread are listed as the key events inthe noise guidelines.“Our biggest concern, as always, remains

noise pollution for residents of Green Point.We support the event in principle,” Bestersays.He adds that the association would only

support amplified announcements.Amplified music or any other form of re-

corded music is prohibited.“If the event organisers wish to play am-

plified music, they may do so in accordancewith the provincial Noise Control Regula-tions as not to cause a noise disturbance,”Bester explains.The Blisters for Bread Charity Fun Walk

is now in its 44th year and attracted a recordnumber of participants, with more than15 800 walkers supporting the event lastyear. The NPO looks to feed hungry chil-

dren. All funds raised gets pumped into theschool feeding programme in order to feedmore learners.Staff and learners from the Savio College

in Lansdowne, along with PFSA, kicked offa fun walk in 1968 to raise funds for the pro-gramme.After a successful stint, organisers decid-

ed to stretch the boundaries and turn theevent into a big walk, inviting school staff,learners and the community.Organisers of the Blisters for Bread event

chose not to comment on the matter.However, they confirmed that they are

currently reviewing the noise guidelineshanded to them by the residents’ associa-tion. They will also be working closely withall parties within the community in order tohost a successful and peaceful event.

MALHERBE NIENABER

A JOINT venture between the City of CapeTown, South African National Parks (San-Parks) andpolicewill compile additional safe-ty measures on the road that leads to Vlae-berg.This decisionwasmade last week at ameet-

ing between interested and affected parties.Council, SanParks, the police, policing fo-

rums andCape TownTourismmet after an in-cident in which a Norwegian exchange stu-dent was robbed and raped at Vlaeberg.The student was visiting the area with a

friend and was attacked by two armedmen inthe early hours of last Saturday morning.The suspects robbed the duo and forced

them into their car.While driving to Summer Greens, where

the N7 links to the N1, the two men rapedher.According to a joint statement issued by

the parties, SanParks would apply to thecouncil to determine whether there couldbe controlled measures to Table Mountainand Vlaeberg roads.Should the application be approved, mo-

torists would have to sign in to gain accessto these roads between 22:00 and 05:00.“The checkpoint will be manned by em-

ployees of SanParks,” the statement reads.The City will be improving the CCTV

cameras as well as the lighting at the Vlae-berg parking lot.Cameras to register cars’ number plates

are also planned for the checkpoints.Ward councillor Dave Bryant said the

proposed control points is similar to theguidelines set in 2011 to keep visitors outafter 22:00.Die Burger previously reported that San-

Parks closes the roads between 22:00 and05:00.Bryant said the closure was unpopular

with Capetonians and council opposed thismove.At the time of the robbery last Saturday,

there was no access control on the road toVlaeberg. “It will not be a drawn out proc-ess to approve and action SanParks’ appli-cation,” Bryant said.This can happen within weeks.When this reporter visited Vlaeberg on

Wednesday, SanParks and police officerswith dogs were regularly seen on the wayto the parking lot.

THE vagrancy problem at a Tamboerskloofopen space has gone public.

Problems such as stabbings and mug-gings, dagga smoking, public drinking, loi-tering and faeces littered along the side-walks act as a thorn in the side of residents.

The public space, knownasRafikis Island,has attractedmuch attention in recent yearsin the form of clean up and security opera-tions from police, the City of Cape Town andother security role players.

Distressed resident Belinda Davidsonfears walking through the public space.

“This space was designed for locals to en-joy and act as a saferway tomove in betweenthe areas on foot. However, it has been takenover by vagrants who are performing illegalactivities at any given time of the day,” shesays.

Davidson claims to have witnessed fightsamong vagrants, presumably due to the con-sumption of alcohol or drug use.

Manager of Rafikis Restaurant and Bar,Edward Chikafa, suggested a mobile policeunit be set up close to the space.

“The problem is when these vagrants arecaught doing something illegal, they are ar-rested and then later return to the samespot,” he says.

The restaurant and bar is situated diago-nally to Rafikis Island and management hasnoticed several incidents unfolding at night.

Ruediger Naumann, the chairperson ofthe Tamboerskloof Neighbourhood Watch,says the vagrancy issue at the public spaceis “nothing new”. “We do not believe the

matter has been addressed satisfactorilyand holistically despite the fact that it hasbeen repeatedly brought to the attention ofauthorities,” he says.

He explains that the area surrounding theisland is a high traffic area and fears thatvagrants drinking in the public space couldeventually lead to accidents.

Naumann explains that several role play-ers, including police and the City, have at-tempted to address the issues in the past.“There is definitely a homeless and crime el-ement. Not a day goes by without these con-cerns being raised by residents, patrons andrestaurant owners,” he adds.People’s Post visited the space recently

where a number of vagrants were seen bath-ing in the sun. However, there was no evi-dence of drug and alcohol abuse.

Brandon Golding, the chairperson of theCape Town Central Community Police Fo-rum, says the space’s use is being revisited.

He feels the vagrancy issue is more preva-lent than the crime problem.

“But it is still an eyesore for the communi-ty and needs serious attention,” Goldingsays. “It is difficult, because you can onlyhelp somebody who wants to be helped.”

Ward councillor Dave Bryant summed upRafikis Island as being a “perfect hangoutspot for vagrants”, but maintained that theycould not be kicked out of the space if theyare not caught doing anything illegal.

“We can’t arrest people for just beingthere, as this is against the constitution. Weare aware of the problems stemming fromthe vagrancy issue and are doing everythingpossible [to resolve it],” he says.

FOR many the pure bliss of cracking opena new book is a rare experience.

Many schools simply don’t have enoughbooks – new or second-hand. But you canchange that, especially for schools and li-braries countrywide experiencing a short-age of books due to a lack of funds.

To feed the reading need, theRadio SonderGrense/ Klein Karoo Nasionale KunstefeesBook Collection campaign addresses thisshortage by collecting books for underprivi-leged communities.

The 15-year campaign has collected anddistributed more than a million books. Lastyear the public’s generous donations saw56 404 books amassed.

In support of the campaign, Shoprite andCheckers supermarkets countrywide areproviding collection points for books cus-tomers no longer use.

The public is invited to contribute to thecampaignbydonatingall types of books – fic-tion, non-fiction, textbooks, children’s liter-ature, encyclopaedias and reference books,old and new – until Tuesday 30 April.

The books can be deposited into brandedgolden trolleys located at the entrance to the

stores. All books collected during this timewill be sorted and distributed to needyschools, libraries and community organisa-tions by the Vryburgers Diensorganisasie.

SEA POINT residents canbreathe a sigh of relief aftera problematic block of flatswas sold.The Aquarius Holiday

Apartments inMilner Roadhas for years been a scourgefor the community withproblems such as drug deal-ing, vagrancyand the ghast-ly appearance of the build-ing aggravating residents.Ward councillor Beverley

Schafer confirms that theblock has been sold to a pri-vate developer to be rede-veloped. “I am very happyabout the sale of this build-ing. We can now finallymove forward,” she says.Schafer explains that dur-

ing a recent community po-lice forum meeting, it wassuggested that the flats in-side the building be used for separate rent-als, but discussions are still underway.Gary Miller, the chairperson of the Sea

Point, Fresnaye andBantryBayRatepayersand Residents’ Association, was glad tohear about the sale of the Aquarius HolidayApartments.“We just do not want to see a repeat of the

problems that we have faced. There hasbeen a host of problems around this build-ing, which had an immediate impact on theneighbouring properties,” Miller says.He confirms that a number of parties

were interested in buying the building andthe private developer who purchased it is

still not yet known to the association.“All we can say is that we are very happy

that it has been sold. It certainly is a stepin the right direction forSeaPoint,”he says.The Aquarius Holiday Apartments were

recently raided by the Sea Point police aftera tip-off about suspected drug dealing.The most notable incident that unfolded

at the flats occurred in 2011 when the man-ager, Gavin PatrickAntonio, wasmurderedin his office.Police investigations revealed that Anto-

nio had been strangled after they discov-ered the body with the head covered witha bag and a rope tied around his neck.

EXTREME SWIMMERS : CONCUR THE ARCTIC

Icy feat forlocal extremistsLIAM MOSES

THREE Cape Town swimmers havepushed themselves to the edge, riskedinjury, flirtedwith death and survived

to tell the tale.RamBarkai, Kieron Palframan andRyan

Stramrood swam a mile in the Arctic Cir-cle, of the coldest water on earth, wearingonly swimming briefs, swimming caps andgoggles.The swimmers, from Camps Bay, New-

lands and Constantia respectively, com-pleted the feat on Saturday 23 March. Theyswam 60 laps in a 25m long “pool” that wascut out a frozen lake in Murmansk, Russia.Palframan (39) says he started to feel the

debilitating effects of the freezing, 0° wateralmost as soon as he immersed himself.“When you dive in it doesn’t take (your

body) long to become numb. The most diffi-cult thing is getting your breathing right.The first couple of lengths are just to getyour breathing right, so that you don’t hy-perventilate,” he says.“Then your body goes numb in sections.

Then your hands and feet feel very swollen;you go through a stagewhen you can’t actu-ally feel anything. Just after that you get anache, a deep pain in your bones. Right atthe end you are (just) hanging on; you justwant to finish and your mind drags yourbody through it. Youdon’t actually feel any-thing. You are just so numb. You’re almostgone.”Stramrood (39) says the trio were in the

most danger when they exited the pool be-cause of the “after drop”, a periodwhere thebody rapidly cools aftermoving to a slightlywarmer temperature.“When you do a mile in those tempera-

tures in those conditions, you are complete-ly helpless when you finish,” he says.“In most cases you can’t even walk and

you need to be supported. You lose yoursense of balance, your ability to think isvery limited and you have tunnel vision.”The group first started competing in ex-

treme, openwater swimming events in 2010when they completed the Pennock IslandChallenge in Alaska. They have since goneon to break records and win worldwide ac-claim.In March 2011 the trio, together with two

other South Africans, Andrew Chin andToks Viviers, completed three epic swimsin the icy waters of Patagonia in only 10days.The first swim saw the group traverse

3.5km of water on the Straits of Magellan,the secondwas a 3kmdouble crossing of theBeagleChannel betweenChile andArgenti-na, and the third was a 3km swim aroundCape Horn, the southern most tip of SouthAmerica, where they swam between thetwo southern most lighthouses in theworld.In 2012, they also swamakilometre in Ty-

umen, Siberia in 0° water and an ambienttemperature of -33°.Barkai (55) says the group have become

famous in the ice swimming community be-cause they manage to keep their sense ofhumour, despite the danger involved.“Whereverwe go, the SouthAfrican team

is the highlight because we are alwayschirping and joking,” he says.“It’s one of the ways we deal with it; we

laugh a lot. Every time we do these thingsthere is a possibility, hopefully not high,that something goes wrong and we won’tcome back, so we try to enjoy it.”The group recently founded the Interna-

tional Ice Swimming Association to helpgrow and improve the sport.V For more information visit www.international-iceswimming.com or the Association’s Facebookpage.

SPORTStalemate in boys’high school derbyLIAM MOSES

THE Rondebosch Boys’ High School un-der-19 A team snatched a draw in thefinal minute of their game against arch

rivals Wynberg Boys’ on Saturday.The home side looked to have the matchsewnup, but a converted try sawBosch levelthe scores at 10-10 to take a share of thespoils.After thematchWynbergBoys’ coach Jus-tin van Winkel, admitted his disappoint-ment at the result but credited the opposi-tion for their performance.“It’s frustrating because we were up formajority of the game. They came back at theend,” says van Winkel.“This is a very goodRondebosch side – andwe respect and acknowledge that. Our boyswere good. They came out fighting and weplayed good rugby for the majority of thegame.”“This Rondebosch side is hot. They havebeen tipped as being one of the hottest sidesin the Cape – if not the country – this year.It was a physical and confrontational con-test, and our biggest challenge to date.”Thevisitors dominated the first-half, prac-tically from the kickoff, opening the scoringaround the eighth minute when inside cen-tre Tyren Lee goaled the first penalty. Wyn-berg levelled soon after scoring their ownpenalty through fullback Karl Martin.Bosch continued their dominance afterthe leveller, camping in the home side’s 22andmonopolising possession, but they werekept out by a combination of staunch de-fence, poor decisions and handling errors.The home side also threatened on occa-sion, launching counter-attacks from deep

in their own territory, but falling short eachtime.Wynbergwere an improved side afterhalf-time and rose to ascendancy thanks to amore structured approach and clever tacti-cal kicking.Eight minutes later they finally crossedthe whitewash when Stef Botha loopedaround from the left wing, latched onto apass in the centre channel and scythedthrough a gap to score.The subsequent conversion from Martinleft Bosch trailing by seven points. Thehosts’ continueddominationandmiserly de-fence left little hope of a comeback.However, Rondebosch refused to acceptdefeat and finally touched down when leftwing Nic le Roux cut in at angle from thetouchline and powered his way over,through two would-be defenders. Lee madenomistake with his conversion attempt andtied the scores at 10-10.VanWinkel says his teamwill look to takethe positives from the game and cut out theerrors in future matches.“Defence shows the character of the team.For my team to defend for the majority ofthe first-half and only let them score at thedeath shows the true character of my boys,”he says.“We will just take each game as it comes.Every school in the Cape is really good, sowe will try and build on this performance.We will try to iron out our mistakes in thisgame. We would be very happy to be moreaccurate at stages.”Rondeboschwill faceKenilworth club sidePrimroseRFC in theirnext encounter,whileWynberg travel Boland Landbou in the nextround of games on Saturday 20 April.

Legal clash at Cape DistrictA WYNBERG soccer club took to thestreets in protest at the club’s suspension.Bluebells AFC and the Cape District Lo-cal Football Association (CDLFA) havebeen locked in a court battle for two years.And Bluebells has vowed to continuewith a lawsuit against the LFA, despite be-ing suspended from all competition.Bluebells sued the CDLFA in April 2011,after failing to win a tender to run the tea-room and cafe at William Herbert SportsGround in Wynberg in 2010.The Wynberg Magistrate’s Court ruledin the club’s favour, instructing the CDF-LA to payR81 000 to Bluebells inDecember2012 and served a warrant of executionagainst the CDFLA’s property.Bluebells was suspended at the CDLFAannual meeting on Wednesday 24 March,four days after the warrant of executionwas served and over 20 months after thelawsuit was filed.In objection to the suspension, membersof the club and their families held a protestat the sports grounds on Saturday morn-ing.Bluebells chairperson Rashied Cloetesays the lawsuit shouldnot affect the club’sright to play football.“The players can’t play. They come toour club to play league soccer. Now theycan go for other clubs. It hasn’t happened,but it can because this is the first week ofsoccer,” he contends.“What do we tell the youngsters everyweek? They (CDLFA) don’t want to regis-ter any of our players.”The CDLFA intends to appeal the court’sdecision, but Cloete says the LFA will notwithdraw the suspension until the courtcase has run its course. He alleges the LFAis using the suspension to pressure theclub into withdrawing the case.

However, CDLFA senior vice-presidentIvan Williams says the organisation actedwithin its framework, as Bluebells “violat-ed the constitution of Fifa, Safa and CapeDistrict LFA” when they took the matterto court.“Safa and Fifa have a rule stating, if youbelong to a football structure, you cannottake the structure to court,” he says.“In our constitution there are processesto resolve any (disputes). If you are unhap-py, the constitution allows you to dealwithit. Safa and Fifa say that no club can takeits mother body to court – that is illegal.”The tender was first offered to all clubs

affiliated to the CDLFA in January 2010.Cloete claims Bluebells were the only clubto apply.Cloete alleges the tender had beenawarded to the CDLFA’s treasurer wife,who had been running the cafe and tea-room in 2009.He says: “The tender was awarded toMrs Parker, the wife of the treasurer. Wethen immediately appealed against thatbecausewecited irregularities as far as thetender process was concerned.”Bluebells first appealed the decision viaemail to the Cape DistrictMunicipal Facil-ities Management Committee (MFMC), a

joint body of all the codes using the Cityof Cape Town Wynberg facility in April2010, after the tender was awarded to an-other party on Monday 12 April. TheMFMC confirmed its receipt of the letteron Thursday 14 April. Arbitrators weresubsequently appointed to investigate theappeal.Bluebells provided People’s Post with adocument, which they claim details thefindings of the investigation.The document states the appeal againstthe tender was upheld and “recommendsthat the process be redone by an independ-ent panel of persons”. Despite the findings,the same person was allowed to continuerunning the tearoom in 2011.Cloete says his club attempted to keeptheir case within the football structuresand only started legal action thereafter,but Williams insists this is not the case.The warrant of execution, which Peo-

ple’s Post has a copy of, confirms the judge-ment was awarded in Bluebells’ favour onMonday 24 December. The warrant of exe-cutionmeans that CDLFA property can beconfiscated and sold to pay the moneyawarded to Bluebells.But Williams says CDLFA will fight theruling, as the organisation feels that Blue-bells sued the incorrect body. He allegesthe MFMC offered, regulated and awardedthe tender.However, Bluebells dispute this as theybelieve theMFMCmanaged the process onbehalf of Cape District, as the LFA leasesWilliam Herbert from the City.The club also approached Safa CapeTown for assistancewith their suspension,but say they been instructed to solve thematter with the CDLFA.V Have your say.
