ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid

Strollers and joggers from Lit-tle Mowbray are frustrated athaving to run the gauntlet of

busy traffic to get to the Ronde-bosch Common as there is a noproper pedestrian crossing.

Jonathan Hobday, chairpersonof Rosebank and Mowbray CivicAssociation, says many of the us-ers only have access to the Com-mon path at the north-west cornerof Klipfontein and Sawkins roads.

“It is a very busy intersection,not just for normal traffic, but forbuses and taxis,” he says.

Hobday asserts that since theopening of a non-motorised trans-port (NMT) around the Common ithas resulted in a gratifying up-surge in use of the Common for rec-reation.

“It has also made it much saferfor users because they no longerneed to run in the road at variouspoints, as in the past,” he says.

However, Hobday says the po-tential for a nasty accident, even afatality, is worrying as many of thepedestrians crossing the busy in-tersection are walking their dogsor young parents taking their chil-dren to the Common by pram.

Elderly residents and school-girls from Rustenberg High alsouse the road.

“We request that the City’s traf-fic experts take a careful look atthis problem and come up withsome innovative improvements toensure greater safety, among oth-ers,” he says.

“The associations’ requests in-clude the demarcating of pedestri-

an crossings by phasing the trafficlights to include pedestrian cross-ing opportunities during theevening rush hour. Also, to installbetter signage,” he says.

Little Mowbray resident DaveSiversten says when the NMTprocess started he approached theward councillor and requested pe-destrian crossings be included inthe planning.

However, now that the NMT iscompleted, Siversten says nothinghas been done to bolster pedestrian

safety. “Residents who try to crossthe road at Klipfontein andSawkins roads have to wait at leastfour to five minutes for the trafficto clear before they can proceed,”he says.

Siversten says if the City can in-corporate pedestrian crossings atthe intersection it would make thelives of the residents, especiallypupils and the elderly, much easi-er. “It is a dangerous crossing andif one is not careful someone couldbe killed, which would be devastat-

ing,” he says.Siversten hopes to see a resoluti-

ion soon. “It is all good and wellto have the NMT route, but if itdoes not help when people fromone side of the Common cannot ac-cess it as easily as other people onthe other side,” he says.

Brett Herron, the Mayoral Com-mittee member for Transport, saysthey have not received any com-plaints from residents or pedestri-ans with regard to pedestriancrossings.

“We are not aware of any prob-lems so do not have plans for im-provements at present. If residentshave any suggestions or requestsfor traffic calming measures, theyshould please make an applicationvia their local subcouncil office,”he says.

Herron says although there areno formal complaints lodged, theywill assess the issue.

“We will take any required ac-tion based on the assesssment,” hesays.

DEVELOPMENT: OFFICE BLOCK A THREAT TO ECO ESTABLISHMENT

Village people in development clashNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A development by provincial govern-ment may stop a community redevel-opment in its tracks.

The OudeMolen Eco Village is threatenedby the development of a pharmaceutical of-fice block, which village residents say willtake their land and fund an even bigger de-velopment in the area – the Two Rivers Ur-ban Park.

The village was started in 1997 when agroup transformed an abandoned and van-dalised section of Valkenberg Hospital intoamicro-enterprise village to alleviate pover-ty, providing affordable space to small busi-nesses, creating job opportunities and em-powering youth.

The community now boasts 42 small busi-nesses, ranging from backpacker accommo-dation to music studios, equestrian activi-ties, frailcare services, metal, wood, art andcraftworkshops, public pool andbraai facili-ties, urban agriculture, a restaurant andschool enterprises. It employs about 200 peo-ple.

Now the OudeMolen Eco Village Tenants’Association is looking to grow the village toincludemoremicro enterprises, says the as-sociation’s Hudson McComb.

However, the redevelopment plan – whichhas been given World Design Capital 2014project status – is under threat, he says.

“The Cape Town Central City Regenera-tion Programme team has a development of‘mega proportions’ butwithout capital fund-ing for the project intend starting their de-velopment strategy by allocating a large por-tion of Oude Molen Village for an exclusivecorporate medical park. In essence the teamis relying on a pharmaceutical company asthe first anchor tenant on the Oude Molen

property to attract further private capital in-vestment for the proposed development ofareas surrounding the Oude Molen proper-ty,” he says.

The Two Rivers Urban Park is pegged asa recreational oasis for the city to be built

between the Black and Liesbeeck rivers(“Park developers dig in”, People’s Post, 24October 2013).

The park will see a combination of devel-opments and conservation projects. Thoughno exact date has been given, construction

of the Two RiversUrban Park if ap-proved could startin roughly twoyears and it couldbe as long as 20 to 30

years before all developments are fully com-pleted.

While village tenants are all for develop-ments around OudeMolen, the proposed de-velopment of an office park has Hudsondeeply concerned.

“The proposed development will under-mine the community’s proactive role overthe past 17 years. Decisions have not beentransparent or involved any public partici-pation. The suggested anchor tenants willrequire high security thereby preventingcontinued public access to the Oude Molenproperty and the proposed excessive build-ing footprint anddensification of the proper-ty will destroy the unique ambiance, publicurban park character and open space appealthat sets Oude Molen apart,” he says.

Department of Public Works spokesper-son Al-Ameen Kafaar says a mixed-use,mixed-income high-density “live, work andplay” transit-orientated development is pro-posed for the site. He says the Two RiversUrban Park steering committee, which rep-resents the community’s interests, has beenfully briefed.

“The Department will, once it has com-plied with the requirements for such devel-opments advertise identified developmentopportunities to the open market. All sub-missions received at that point will be con-sidered on an equal basis. Various unsolicit-ed proposals to expand the Oude Molen EcoVillage were received. These were refereedback as formal procurement processes donot allow their consideration,” he says.

Kafaar says the Department will not re-spond to allegations that income generatedfrom a development on the property wouldgo towards funding further developments inthe Two Rivers precinct.

“Any income generated by the Depart-ment will be dealt with by the provincialtreasury,” he says.

TheCity of CapeTown’sMayoral Commit-tee Member for Economic, Environmentaland Spatial Planning Johan van der Merwesays the City has only been involved in high-level decisions.

CLAREMONT: HOMEOWNER STABBED IN ARM AND HEAD

Man hurt in screwdriver attackASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

AClaremont resident survived a viciousscrewdriver attack during a recenthouse robbery.

The brutal attack happend on Wednesday2 July at 21:15 in Upper Moss Street whentwo suspects, both wearing balaclavas,forcedopen thebedroomwindowandaccost-ed the 56-year-old homeowner.The man was assaulted as he tried to fight

back, police confirm. The man was stabbedin the arm and head.Warrant Officer Lyndom Sisam, spokes-

person for Rondebosch police, says the sus-pects stole jewellery and fled the scene.“We advise that, if confronted by a perpe-

trator, the victimconsiderswhat ismore im-portant – losing your property or losing yourlife,” he says.Homeowners are encouraged to ensure

that they use and activate all security devic-es at all times. Sisam says there are anumber of security measures which resi-dents can implement to avoid becoming atarget of house robbers.These include planting thorny bushes

near windows and cutting back on tallshrubs near gates and doors, which can dou-ble as a hiding spot for thieves.Be certain to secure windows in the ga-

rage. For slidingwindows, use channel locksthat clamp on or a stick that keeps the win-dow from sliding open.Secure second-storey windows, especially

doors to decks or balconies. These can oftenbe reached by athletic youth or experiencedthieves seeking easy access into a home.Check security systems and locks often, to

make sure they are in good working condi-tion.Sisam adds that residents should be cau-

tious about workers and contractors work-ing on the property or neighbouring houses.“If you have valuable equipment or tools,put them out of sight,” he urges.Residents are also urged to consider acti-

vating their locator services on their an-droid devices to help track the item if stolen.Sisam says in less than two minutes, the

owner of a lost or stolen device (cellphone,laptops and iPads) can trace their androiddevice by activating applications like Findmy Mobile, Find my Android, Find myiPhone, Find my Samsung and Find myBlackBerry. “We have had numerous suc-cesses in tracing lost or stolen electronic de-vices because the complainant had the appli-cation activated or downloaded before itwasstolen,” he says. Sisam says that togetherwith the police the location is checked and

traced and inmost cases the items are recov-ered and arrests are made. “Only the ownerhas the power to activate the tracking soft-ware and therefore we advise they do thisas soon as possible,” he says. Sisam says noGPS tracking is performed until the ownersets it up on their device. Only once it hasbeen activated will it then show the ownerthe exact location.V Anyone with information regarding the robbery isurged to call Claremont police on (021) 657 2240.

PINELANDS: STREET CAMERA COMMITTEE TAKES SHAPE

It’s time toseal the dealASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

An agreement to form a committee tooversee the Pinelands Street CameraProject was made on Thursday 3 July

to ensure transparency and oversight.The committee will allow every resident

and business in Pinelands to contribute tothe project.

The committee is formed by PinelandsRatepayers’ Association, the communitypolice forum, Pinelands ward councillor,Pinewatch and the Pinelands Neighbour-hood Watch.

Peter Hofmann, chairperson of the Pine-land Neighbourhood Watch, says a Section21 non-profit organisation will be formed assoon as feasibly possible.

“Once formed, the Pinewatch PinelandsStreet Camera Project (PSCP) will be incor-porated into this Section 21 company withPinewatch as our technology partner,” hesays.

The company will take a few weeks to setup, but as crime does not wait for anyone,Hofmann says, they wish to keep the mo-mentum going by getting in contributionsfrom all residents as soon as possible.

“The neighbourhood watch now fully en-dorses and supports this project and weurge all residents and businesses to makethe once-off contribution of R1480 or alter-natively the contribution can be spreadover eight months at R185 a month.”

People’s Post previously reported thatPinewatch Security decided to take theproactive step to make Pinelands safer bylaunching the Pinelands Street CameraProject (“Big Brother to zoom in”, 19 June).

Patrick Pillay, general manager of theseccurity company, said their vision of the(camera system) is to converge licence rec-ognition urban surveilance and vehicle pa-trolling to improve both residential andpublic safety.

This was revealed at a ratepayers’ meet-ing on Wednesday 11 June.

Hofmann said that they all share a com-mon goal and, essentially, joint responsibli-ty to improve the security in Pinelands.

“With full community participation,funds can be quickly raised to make thisproject a reality,” he says.

The committee will meet every two weeksand send out regular updates on progressof the project.

“Get involved today and make a differ-ence to our leafy suburb,” encourages Hof-mann.

Riad Davids, vice-chairperson of thePinelands Ratepayers’ Association, saysthe decision to form a committee was a jointeffort between all relevant role players.

“We urge all residents to read the PSCPpamphlet and to get on board,” he says.

Davids says as soon as the committee has1025 residents signed up they can start im-plementing Phase One.V For more information visit pscp@pinewatch.co.za.

AIDA PROSPUR Southern Suburbs

Adie twinstackle the BergThe race for the

women’s titleat theBergRiv-

er Canoe marathontook on a new com-plexion with the ad-dition of Abby andAlex Adie to the al-ready competitivewomen’s field forthis year’s race.

The 24-year oldtwins have stampedtheir authority onwomen’s river rac-ing in recentmonths, with eacheager to add a solidBerg performanceto their already im-pressive résumé.

ForAlex, theBergserves as the goldenopportunity to sig-nal her full return tocompetitive pad-dling after a brokenleg in 2004 significantly hampered herprogress as a junior.

The Peninsula Canoe Club member putin a solid effort with partner Hilary Brussin her first competitive race back at thisyear’s Dusi in February, before she andAbby clinched a commanding victory inthe 2014 Non-Stop Dusi a few weeks later.

While the Berg is a journey Alex hasn’tundertakenpreviously, her lack of experi-ence on the Berg River isn’t putting thetalented paddler off.

“I’ve been debating doing a Berg for awhile and with me moving to the Cape(from KwaZulu-Natal), I naturally justslotted into the season. I’m really lookingforward to this year’s Berg,” Alex says.

“I’ve done a couple of the pre-Berg raceswhich have helped get the mileage up alittle. Abby also came down to the Capea couple of days ago and we’ll look tospend a bit of time on the river before therace, trying to learna fewmoreof the linesand the sneaks. If I can get a top three fin-ish at this year’s Berg, it would be great.”

The twins join the likes of Kirsten Pend-eris (AQRate), Nicole Russell, HayleyArthur and Lauren Felgate (all MacS-

quad) and Bianca Beavitt in a women’sfield of a depth which few recent Berg edi-tions have enjoyed.

“It’s great to have a competitive wom-en’s field for Berg this year,” Alex says.

“Themore girls on the line, the strongerthe race is likely to be. With us startingtogether on day one, having more girls onthe line means there are a few more pad-dlers we can look to work with early on.”

The tough, long days of the Berg Mara-thon are as much a test of mental tough-ness as physical strength and endurance.

Forming an alliance with a competitorcan go a long way in aiding one’s chances,somethingwhichgives the sisters a signif-icant advantage before a paddle strokehas even been taken.

“NaturallyAbby and I have a far strong-er bond with each other than we do withany of the other girls, so I’m sure if we’renear enough to one another, we’d be hap-py to help each other wherever we can,”Alex says.

The Berg River Canoe Marathon startsin Paarl on Wednesday 16 July and endsat Velddrif on Saturday 19 July.V Visit www.berg.org.za for more information.

Equestrian wants Paralympic shotNicole Sanders may not be able to walkwithout crutches, but she has the ability tomake horses dance.Sanders has overcome cerebral palsy to

make her mark in the equestrian sportingarena over the past eight years.The Lakeside resident has achieved huge

success as a dressage competitor throughsheer determination and a burning ambi-tion to represent South Africa at the Paral-ympic Games in Brazil in 2016.But unlike other international competi-

tors, she does not have the time and re-sources to train for three hours a day, sixdays a week. Instead she has to train andcompete on borrowed horses.“This is one thing I truly love, which I

know I am good at – I would love to be giventhe opportunity to show what I am worth,”

Sanders says.“My competitors are all sponsored – they

have the chance to compete locally and in-ternationally on their own horses. I do notcome from a high-income background, butI am hard-working and determined toachieve my goals.”She trains at the SouthAfricanRiding for

the Disabled Association (Sarda) in Con-stantia for just 45 minutes each week andoften has just 15 minutes to get to know thehorse she uses at a competition.Having achieved under these circum-

stances is a testament to her exceptionalability as a dressage rider, as well as her re-markable resilience.However, without the necessary finan-

cial backing, Nicole is unlikely to achieveher dream of competing in the Paralympics

and making SA proud.Former Proteas crick-

eter Brett Schultz and hispartner Georgina Swainhave made it their goal tohelp Sanders get aroundher lack of funding.“Nicole was achieving

exceptional results indressage arenas acrossthe world. Time was run-ning out for her to realiseher dream as a result of alack of funding and limit-ed access to training,”Schultz says.“The commitment and

dedication she has shownto her sports discipline iscommendable. As anable-bodied sportsman inmyday, I can only respecther passionanddrive.Wedecided to do somethingto help keep her dreamalive.”With the assistance of

sponsors Eurolux andEconorisk, Craig Hindsof Watershed and restau-rateur Mike Lumb, thecouple and Sarda startedthe Journey to the Paral-ympics 2016 fundraisingcampaign.On Sunday 20 July the

campaignwill commencewhen top SA bandWater-shed takes to the stage fora event.An intimate food, wine

and music experience,the lunchtime event willtake place at B.B Quesrestaurant at Groot Con-stantia Wine Estate.V Tickets cost R600 per person;only 150 are available. Emailmarketing@bridgecape.com tobook your place.

CT Marathon aims for new heightsA recently sealed naming rights sponsor-ship could see the Cape TownMarathon be-come Africa’s first WorldMarathonMajors(WWM) event.WWMcurrently consists of the six largest

and most renowned annual marathons inthe world.The series charts theperformances of ath-

letes in the Tokyo, Boston, New York City,Chicago, London and Berlin marathonsover a two-year cycle, with the top perform-ingmen’s andwomen’s runners splitting $1000 000 at the end of the cycle.All six races are ranked as gold on the In-

ternational Association of Athletics Feder-ations’ (IAAF)RoadRace Label Events clas-sification system, which ranks the world’stop races as bronze, silver or gold. The CTMarathon is not currently ranked.However, a sponsorship from Sanlam,

whichwill see the race renamed theSanlamCT Marathon, has allowed organisers tobring forward plans to apply for Silver La-bel classification.South African long-distance Olympic

medallist Elana Meyer, Sanlam CT Mara-thon spokesperson and executive commit-tee member, says the race’s potential willbe “immeasurable” once the Silver Label isawarded. “We are extremely pleased tohave a leading financial services group likeSanlam working with us to realise the po-

tential of this very special event,” Meyersays.“We offer contestants the largest sum of

prize money for a South African standardmarathon, with cash prizes exceedingR1,6m – in line with international city mar-athon benchmarks and a requirement to beconsidered for WMM and IAAF member-ship.”The race is jointly hosted by the City of

Cape Town, Western Province Athletics(WPA) and ASEM Running.This year the 42.2km marathon race will

be the culmination of a festival of running.It will feature in a 10km Peace Run, a 4.2kmPeace Run, two Peace Trail Runs, a PeaceRelay and a Peace Mile Race.Sanlam CEO Yegs Ramiah says the com-

pany is delighted to be the official headlinesponsor of the marathon.“The sport of running is easily accessible

and within everyone’s means. By its verynature, it requires determination, dedica-tion and the belief that a lot can come fromvery little,” he says.“We believe an event such as this will

have a real and positive influence by ena-bling people to live their best possible lives.We look forward to a long and positive asso-ciation with the CT Marathon.”The marathon will take place on Satur-

day 20 and Sunday 21 September.

Coke Cup actionLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

The Coca-Cola Cup’s two previous win-ners both fired warning shots at theirrivals when they bulldozed into the

last 32 of this year’s competition.Hanover Park FC won the tournament in

2012, butwereknocked out in the quarter-fi-nals by a youthful Milano side last year.JordanCallies then shocked local football

fans by knocking out Milano in the semi-fi-nals and went on to beat Sporting United4-3 to take the spoils.Both Hanover Park and Callies signalled

their intention to challenge for the titleagain this year, when they recorded em-phatic wins in the round of 64 on Sunday.Hanover Park, also champions in 2009,

thrashedMaitland’s SaxonRovers 4-0 at theBlue Downs Sports Complex, while Callieseased past FC Mimosa with a 3-0 win.The two former champions will advance

to the round of 32 which already shows astrong field, although the all the teamshavenot been decided.Central FC and Rygate Local Football As-

sociation’s (LFA) Junction Rovers, the re-spective champions and runners-up in 2011,also confirmed their places.Central knocked out Stephanians-Ottery

with a 2-1 win, while Rovers beat Cape Dis-trict LFA’s RC Athletico 2-1.Several other sides from the Southern

Suburbs have also booked their spots in the

last 32 of Cape Town’s premier amateurfootball tournament.Wynberg St John’s beat Bellville United

2-1, Island Rovers knocked-out South Pe-ninsula LFA’sMilanoUnited 3-2 andGlend-ene United edged Rising Stars 4-3.Peninsula United were 4-2 victors over

Liverpool FC, Celtic AFC beat BarcelonaFC by the same score-line and Mitchell’sPlain’s Morgenster United beat Manen-berg’s Young Idols 3-2.South Peninsula LFA’s Heath Athletic

edgedMitchell’s Plain side Standards Unit-ed 3-2, Silver Spurs thrashedKuilsRiverFC4-1 and Devonshire Rovers breezed past Ti-tans FC with a 3-0 win.Chelsea FC came out on top in a derby

against Rygate LFA rivals BridegtownUnited, winning 5-2 to advance.Heavy rains saw eight games scheduled

forplayat theBonteheuwelSportsComplexon Sunday cancelled.Those games will take place at the same

venue this Sunday.Seven Southern Suburbs sides can still

qualify for the round of 32.Retreat’s Greenwood Athletic, Grassy

Park’s Crusaders AFC, Mitchell’s Plain’sLiverpool-Portlands and Beacon Pirates,Santos AFC, South Peninsula LFA’s ArielSpurs and Athlone-Heideveld LFA’s Ever-ton United are all still in the running.Sunday’s fixtures will take place in two

batches, with four games kicking-off at13:30 and four at 15:30.

Synchro pair headed for the big timeLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

South Africa’s most talented young syn-chronised swimming duo have embarkedon a punishing training regime in hopes ofmaking an impact at an international tour-nament.Tatum-Lee Petersen from Athlone and

Bergvliet resident Sarah Keyte will repre-sent SA at the Mediterranean Cup inGreece in September.The pair usually train for three hours,

three times a week, but from Saturday 12to Saturday 19 July they will spend eighthours daily focusing on training.Keyte, a pupil at Spingfield Girls’ Con-

vent School, says its all worth it.“You have to put in a lot of hours for the

sport,” she says.“You have to give up a lot, but in the end

it’s all worth it because we will be compet-ing on an international stage.”The Grade 9 pupil took up the sport when

her mother’s friend suggested she give it atry. She was only in Grade 2 at the time andshe has been hooked ever since.Petersen started at the same age when

her swimming coach recommended shegive the sport a try.“I like that you are able to express your-

self in ways that you aren’t able to in othersports,” Petersen says. “You’re able todance, but you’re still in the water. It getsyour creative juices flowing. This sport isboth about creativity and physical ability.”For her, the toughest aspect of synchro-

nised swimming is memorising and per-fecting routines, and timing.The two youths started competing as a

duo six years ago, dominating the sport al-most immediately.They are members of Barracudas Syn-

chroClub and are coached by SueManners-Wood, the national senior synchronisedswimming coach.She believes the duo is headed straight

for the top of the sport.“They have won their duet in every age

group they have competed in throughoutthe years,” she says. “They have also beenidentified bySwimmingSouthAfrica as the

duet to take over from the current SA sen-ior duet. They have been identified to com-pete at the Commonwealth Games in Dur-ban in 2020 and are being groomed for thatcompetition.”Petersen andKeyte qualified for theMed-

iterranean Cup with a score of 6.3 out of 10at the National Championships in April.The pair win gold at the championships.They will compete against the sport’s

most elite under-16 teams at the competi-tion. The world’s top three sides, Russia,Spain and China will also be in attendance.But a lack of facilities, finances and regu-

lar competition against top oppositionmeans the girls have virtually no hope ofbringing home amedal, butManners-Woodhas set her students a different goal.“I look at it in terms of score. I would like

to see the girls improve on the score theyachieved at the National Championships,”she says.“I would ideally like to see my girls get

between 6 and 6.5, which would mean theyare very competent. That would be a goodachievement. I’m also being conservative,because I think they can get 6.8 or 7.”V Anyone able to assist the team with sponsorshipshould call Francis on 072 775 2772.
