Garden to get overhaulASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
AR70m revamp at Kirstenbosch Nation-al Botanical Garden is to benefit boththe staff and public.
The upgrade will be done over a three-yearperiod.
The South African National BiodiversityInstitute (Sanbi), with the support of Au-recon as its infrastructure programme im-plementer, are heading the project.
Sanbi chief director of conservation gar-dens Christopher Willis says funds havebeen provided for these upgrades by the Na-tional Treasury through the national envi-ronmental affairs department.
“We have appointed the required profes-sionals and will follow formal open tenderprocesses to procure local contractors. It isenvisaged that the refurbishments will takeplace in a staggered approach, and the workdone by a range of different contractors,”says Willis.
The upgrade entails the refurbishment ofoffice buildings, a new administration build-ing housing Sanbi administration, finance,HR and IT personnel.
It will also see the significant upgrade ofthe upper visitors’ parking area.
The guest houses on the estate, and the re-pair of the roof at the Goldfields EducationCentre are also included in the refurbish-ments.
Willis says many of the facilities are inneed of refurbishment, repair and upgrade.This includes replacement of the garden’s ir-rigation dam lining which provides irriga-tion water to the garden, especially duringthe dry summer months.
“Some offices comprise temporary struc-tures and new permanent structures will re-place these temporary structures,” he says.“New research equipment will [also] be pro-cured for Sanbi researchers.”
Infrastructural upgrades will include new
IT and biodiversity information systemsthat will enable Sanbi to deliver on its broadbiodiversity mandate.”
According to Willis the repair of the roofat the education centre will benefit all pupilsand teachers who use the facility daily, and“more specifically the public will benefitfrom improved parking area facilities at theupper parking area”.
The majority of the upgrades will be in
structures used by Sanbi staff.Willis says most of the upgrades will take
place on the periphery of the garden andapart from the inconvenience causedthrough the upgrade of the upper visitors’parking area and education centre duringthe construction period, it is hoped that theinconvenience caused to visitors will beminimised as far as possible.
“Sanbi does apologise in advance for any
inconveniences that may be caused to itsloyal patrons and visitors,” he says.
He adds that Sanbi is committed to ensur-ing that Kirstenbosch Garden remains oneof the top botanical gardens in the world.
“Regular upgrades to infrastructure andbuildings are inevitably required in order tomaintain and look after our precious 101-year-old world class nature-based touristdestination,” he says.

Don’t be engaged by ‘Telkom’ techniciansTelkom customers: be warned.
The telecommunications giant has con-firmed social media reports of criminalsposing as employees hitting homes andpilfering valuables.
Telkom spokesperson Jacqui O’Sulli-van says businesses are also being target-ed.
The crooks pose as technicians to gainentry into the premises, she confirms.
“The evolving modus operandi of thesuspected criminals is of great concern,”she says.
Upon entry to someone’s property, thesuspects apparently steal laptops, cell-phones, cash and other valuables.
“The perpetrators arrive unannouncedand claim that they need to upgrade tele-
phone or internet lines,” she says.This spate of thefts by bogus techni-
cians have also been reported in otherprovinces.
“The Telkom Assets and Revenue Pro-tection Services division is workingclosely with the police in investigatingthese crimes,” O’Sullivan says.
She advises customers to demand to seethe identity cards of Telkom techniciansbefore allowing them access to the proper-ty.
“Residents must also ask technicians toquote the relevant reference number thathas been assigned to the customer for afault repair or new installation before al-lowing them onto their premises.”
People who have not requested any
service from Telkom should be particu-larly wary.
“These basic precautions must be com-municated to every person who is likelyto be at home during the day, includingdomestic employees.”
At the same time, she says the companydoes not want the work of their legitimatetechnicians to be unnecessarily ham-pered.
However, should customers be suspi-cious, they are advised to call Telkom on0800 47 47 47 for verification of the ID cardand to confirm employment of techni-cians.
Contact Telkom’s fraud hotline on0800 124 000 or the nearest police stationto report suspicious individuals.
Kite competition enters fifth yearPrepare for lift-off.
Local kite-makers are getting creative forthe fifth annual People’s Post Heritage KiteCompetition.
Part of the Cape Town International KiteFestival, the competition sees kite-makersfrom across the peninsula compete for theHeritage Kite Award.
Hosted by Cape Mental Health, the festi-val will be held in Muizenberg on Saturday1 and Sunday 2 November.
People’s Post is the print media sponsor.The Heritage Kite Award will go to the
best Swaeltjie kites.These are traditional swallow or bat
shaped kites, hand-crafted and locally madeusing bamboo, paper or material.
The design originated in South-East Asiaand came to Africa hundreds of years ago.
The age-old techniques of making and fly-ing the kites are being shared with a wideraudience thanks to a collaboration between
Cape Mental Health and master kite-makerEbrahim Sambo from Athlone.
Sambo has been making Swaeltjie kitessince childhood.
“My great-grandfather was a slave fromIndonesia. He taught my grandfather, whotaught my father, who taught me,” he says.
Sambo is passionate about keeping thishistoric kiting tradition alive.
For the past two years he has voluntarilyrun daily Swaeltjie kite-making workshopsat the festival. He’s also made sure the skillsare passed on in his own family – two yearsago his son Rifead won the Heritage KiteAward.
“The Swaeltjie could be the oldest kite inAfrica,” says kiter Greg Mountjoy.
“Itwas thought thatAfrica is theonly con-tinent without a history of kiting, but theseswallow kites have been made and flownhere for centuries.”
There are great prizes up for grabs in the
competition, as well as the opportunity forlocal kiters to rub shoulders with the bestkiters from across the globe.
Prizes include the People’s Post HeritageKite Award floating trophy and cash prizesranging from R200 to R1000.
All entrants will receive a certificate.Entry to the festival, which is held at
Zandvlei Nature Reserve, is R30 for adultsand R10 for children aged between two and12. There is no cost to participate in the com-petition or workshops.
The festival runs from 10:00 to 18:00 bothdays, with the Heritage Kite Competitiontaking place at 13:30 on the Sunday.

WYNBERG
ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid
AWynberg resident says the Wittebomestation is no longer what it used to be.
The concerned resident, who spoketo People’s Post on condition of anonymity,says the station has become an eyesore,claiming that no one is taking responsibilityto clean out the bins and cut the grass.
“I have lived here for many years andslowly the station has become a hotspot forrobberies, vagrants and dumping,” she says.
The overgrown grass along the railway re-serve in Castletown Road where the residentlives has created what she calls a hide outfor criminals.
“The dense bush area is ideal for crimi-nals to hide while they wait for potential vic-tims and then pounce on the opportunitywhen no one is watching,” she says.
She is also concerned about the numberof homeless people who sleep in the bush ar-ea along the reserve.
“There are many vagrants who sit on thepavement and in the bush area and no onecan ever be too careful as to who is hidingout among them,” she says.
She says they scratch in the bins and leaveall the contents in the parking lot of the sta-tion and the smell becomes “unbearable”.
“I am concerned for our health as the rub-bish is left for weeks at a time in the binsbefore it is collected,” she fumes.
“This brings rats and mice into the stationand I am sure it will spill over into ourhomes too.”
Wynberg police spokesperson Warrant of-ficer Silvino Davids says there is an areaalong the railway reserve where there is nofence and often people are seen sitting in thefield.
“We have been in talks with Metrorail andthey have identified all the property whichbelongs to them and have stated that they
will take ownership of these areas.“They indicated that some of the property
will be leased to the City of Cape Town whocan then enforce their laws,” he says.
Davids says Metrorail has indicated thatthey will close the open field as well, but didnot indicate when this would take place.
Metrorail regional manager RichardWalker says due to the vastness of the regionand resources available, replacement and/or repair has to be prioritised over otherfencing projects.
“The prioritisation is based on a risk as-sessment comprising a number of criteria.Replacement costs for a concrete palisadefence range between R800 and R1 100 a me-
tre,” he says.Walker says the region’s fencing and hor-
ticultural requirements far exceeded itsavailable resources.
“We spend about R6m to R9m annually tomend and replace broken fencing,” he says.
He further adds that the maintenance andclearance of rubble and weeds is primarilyaimed at keeping the railway tracks clearand safe for rail operations.
“We continue to motivate for additionalfunding, but we are also acutely aware thatwe are competing for finite resources,” headds.
The issueof vagrancyat the station is com-plex, according to Walker.
He says vagrants living in rail reservesmust be relocated to alternative sitesthrough a legal process and Metrorail relieson the City of Cape Town and Passenger RailAgency of South Africa Corporate Real Es-tate Solutions.
“The former must identify suitable landfor the relocation of dwellers before the lat-ter canproceedwith the legal process of evic-tion,” he explains.
Walker says the head of Protection Servic-es and the commander of the Railway Policehave been notified about residents’ securityconcerns and would take this into considera-tion during their weekly joint security meet-ing to investigate.

VALKENBERG
Hard work pays offThe Friends of Valkenberg Trust cel-
ebrated 20 years of service atValkenberg Hospital.
An event was held on Tuesday 14 Octo-ber as the hospital celebrated with treatsat the Friends’ 16th annual meeting.
Friends patron Emeritus ProfessorStuart Saunders congratulated theFriends on their achievements over thelast 20 years including supporting the re-covery of people with mental illnessesand helping to reduce the negative stig-ma attached to what are often very com-mon conditions, like depression.
Founder Fran Robertson shared someof her memories of the early days with
the Friends when she and a handful ofvolunteers pioneered the services thatexist today.
“In 20 years we have gone from seeinginstitutionalised patients walkingaround in pyjamas to supporting peoplein recovery, treating them as individu-als rather than file numbers,” she said.
Dr Max Price, UCT vice-chancellorand guest speaker, noted the values ofNGOs like Friends of Valkenberg are ex-actly what they are hoping to inspire intheir students – people who quietly geton with the work of delivering servicesto those inneed, treatingpeoplewithdig-nity.

Troublesome treesASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
An exotic tree at Kenilworth station isscheduled to be felled.
According to the City of Cape Townthis will be done in accordance with theCity’s Tree Policy.
The tree, a Eucalyptus Lehmanii common-ly known as a “Spider Gum”, is a Category1 declared weed in terms of the Conservationof Agricultural Resources Act. This meansall such trees have to be removed.
The tree is situated on a pavement in theparking lot of the station.
Belinda Walker, Mayoral Committee
member for Community Services and Spe-cial Projects, says no complaints were re-ceived from the public with regard to thetree.
“The alien tree was identified by CityParks staff,” she says.
Walker says the tree, which has been therefor 10 to 15 years, has a negative impact onthe environment and will be felled in earlyNovember.
“Replacement trees have already beenplanted in close proximity,” she explains.
The City plans to remove another tree inClaremont in Campground Road oppositethe Newlands Cricket Stadium.
This tree, also a Spider Gum, will be re-
moved in November.Recently City Parks also removed two Spi-
der Gums in Mowbray.Walker says there are about 200 species of
plants that are declared weeds or invadersin South Africa and are divided up into threecategories. Category 1 species are totallyprohibited and must be controlled by theland user on whose land such plants aregrowing.
Walker explains that invasive alien spe-cies can out-compete native species and of-ten begin to dominate the ecosystems theyinvade. “It is important that we try to main-tain our environment in a way which allowsindigenous plants to flourish.”

Crime blockedASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Crime levels in the Mowbray precincthave been kept to tolerable levels dur-ing the last 12 months.
This was revealed at the Mowbray Com-munity Policing Forum’s (CPF) annualmeeting on Monday 13 October.
However, CPF chairperson JonathanHobday says there is cause for concernabout the continuing incidence of all formsof robbery – from street muggings to wellorganised raids on commercial premises byarmed gangs.
“Our area remains a target of the so-called ‘crowbar gangs’ who brazenly forcetheir way into homes, often through frontdoors in broad daylight in search of expen-sive electronic equipment like flat-screenTVs,” he says.
Hobday says the primary reason for theireffective combating of crime has been thesustainedoperationof sector policing in thearea by members of the Mowbray police sta-tion.
“The constant patrols, quick reactiontimes, regular road blocks and stop-and-search actions have done much to ensurethe prevention of crime and has led to con-stantly high level of arrests,” he says.
Hobday says the community owes stationcommander Lieutenant-Colonel Mayla Dy-ers and her team at Mowbray Police Stationtheir sincerest thanks for their efforts anddedication.
“We greatly appreciate the close and can-did relationship we have with the Mowbraypolice and I believe that this partnership isone of the keys to ensuring a safer commu-nity,” he says.
However, Hobday continues, police havenot had to do it all by themselves as the for-mula for resisting the criminals also in-cludes the efforts and dedication of other
community organisations.The organisations include the Groote
Schuur Community Improvement DistrictCompany, which has assisted police espe-cially in the Main Road area. “Althoughtheir operations have been limited by re-cent budget cuts at UCT, they remain an im-portant pillar of policing in the precinct,”he says.
Hobday further says the neighbourhoodwatches continue to keep the communitiesinformed and activated. In particular he ispleased that efforts to re-activate the LittleMowbray Neighbourhood Watch are bear-ing fruit.
“The Metro Police religiously engagewith us at CPF meetings and work closelywith the local police in all manner of opera-tions. Although they have been under se-vere pressure throughout the year in deal-ing with taxi violence and other civic pro-tests,” he says.
Hobday says that private security compa-nies are a constant supplementary pres-ence in the area through the bicycle patrolsand armed reaction service. “We also havean active and alert network of communitypolice forums in the Claremont Clusterwhich ensures good communication withthe provincial police and with the provin-cial department of community safety,” hesays.
However, Hobday says he does not thinkit is unrealistic to talk of policing being ina state of crisis.
“The thin blue line is stretched close tobreaking point and many vital elements ofpolicing are being neglected,” he explains.
“This deterioration must be addressed asa matter urgency.”
Hobday adds that it will require innova-tive use of existing human resources, butthe real need is for the rapid recruitment,training and deployment of new membersto fill the huge backlog of vacancies.

SAFETY
Focus onfireworksThe City of Cape Town has issued a
warning for the safe discharge of fire-works with celebrations to follow in
the coming weeks.With Diwali and Guy Fawkes around the
corner, the City’s enforcement agencies arepreparing for a flood of complaints aboutthe illegal discharge of fireworks and otherrelated incidents – this in spite of repeatedcalls for the responsible use of fireworksandworkby theCity tohighlight the associ-ated dangers.
Last November, the City’s Law Enforce-ment Department confiscated 12 865 fire-works from illegal traders.
In addition, Law Enforcement and MetroPolice officers responded to a total of 385complaints on Guy Fawkes and issuedfines totalling more than R10 000 for the ille-gal discharge of fireworks.
City Mayoral Committee member forSafety and Security JP Smith says that pur-chasing from vendors who do not have thelegal permits for the sale of fireworks is ille-gal.
“It is illegal to discharge fireworks out-side specific designated areas. It is also ille-gal to buy fireworks from traders withoutvalid police-issued permits.”
Smith says many Capetonians continueto disregard the law and end up terrorisingtheir neighbours who have to put up withnoise.
“The law also matters very little to someuntil there is an incident where someonegets hurt or worse, but this, too, doesn’tseem to be much of a deterrent,” he ex-plains.
On Guy Fawkes last year, the City re-sponded to nearly 400 fireworks-relatedcomplaints and confiscated nearly 13 000fireworks.
Smith has also encouraged residents toreport instances where the illegal sale ordischarge of fireworks occurs.
“The City has limited resources and wecannot be everywhere all of the time, so weappeal to residents to work with us to en-sure a safe city. Do the right thing and ei-ther take your neighbours to task if they’rebreaking the law or report the matter to theCity or the police,” Smith adds
In addition to tackling illegal vendorsand illegal discharging of fireworks, Smithexplains they have to police the growing
“mob culture” associated with GuyFawkes.
“This is where gangs of children runaround with paint and other parapherna-lia, terrorising their communities and us-ing this ‘celebration’ to rob and hurt inno-cent people. This really is utter nonsenseand needs to stop.”
Eight designated areas have been as-signed for the discharging of fireworks.These areas are:
. Swartklip Sports Complex, corner ofSpine and Swartklip roads, Mitchell’sPlain;
. Maidens Cove parking area, VictoriaRoad, Camps Bay;
. Athlone Stadium parking area (easternside), Klipfontein Road, Athlone;
. Strandfontein Pavilion, Strandfontein;
. Bishop Lavis sports field, Lavis Drive,Bishop Lavis;
. Beachfront opposite the Tourism Cen-tre, Table View;
. Wesfleur sports field, ReygersdalDrive, Atlantis; and
. Macassar Beach parking area, Macas-sar Road, Macassar.
Other regulations around the trade infireworks include:
. Fireworks are only permitted to be soldin sealed packages, as received from thesuppliers.
. Children under the age of 16 are not al-lowed to purchase and discharge fireworkswithout adult supervision.
. Anyone who discharges shop boughtfireworks at these sites does so at their ownrisk.
. All approved, organised fireworks dis-plays in Cape Town must be presented bylicensed fireworks contractors who operateunder the Explosives Act and the City’sCommunity Fire Safety By-Law.
TheCity’sFireSafety Inspectors andLawEnforcement officers, together with the Ex-plosives Unit of the police, will conduct in-spections at fireworks display sites to en-sure that all safety requirements are met.
Anyone with information about the ille-gal sale or use of fireworks can report it tothe Metro Police Call Centre on 0860 765 423or the police on 10 111.
For emergencies call the Public Emer-gency Call Centre on 107 from a landline or(021) 480 7700 from a cellphone.

PICTURE PERFECT: Ajax Cape Town’s Bantu Mzwakali battles with Kaizer Chiefs player Tefu Mashamaiteduring a PSL encounter at Cape Town Stadium on Sunday. The Urban Warriors slumped to a 01 defeat.

Ajax Cape Town will look to return totheir winning ways when they hostPlatinum Stars in a PSL clash at Cape
Town Stadium tomorrow (Wednesday 22October).
The Cape side suffered their second de-feat in the top tier of South African footballwhen they were beaten 0-1 by visitors Kaiz-er Chiefs on Sunday. Tefu Mashamaite’s50th minute goal hampered the hopes of theUrban Warriors to remain in second placeon the log.
Roger da Sá’s troops, who announcedHuawei as its official shirt sponsor for theseason on Friday 17 October, have droppedthree places to fifth on the table and are oneof four teams on 14 points.
However, they can gain points on Ama-khosi (first on 24 points), Orlando Pirates(second; 14), Wits (third; 14) and Sundowns(fourth; 14) should they defeat Stars tomor-row.
But the Capetonians’ track recordagainst the men from Mafikeng over thelast two seasons puts the visitors ahead.The last time Ajax were victors over Starswas in August 2012, when they won 4-1 atAthlone Stadium.
Their last three matches against AllanFreese’s charges saw them suffer a 3-0 de-feat in May; 0-2 loss in December last year;and a 3-0 loss in February last year.
But Stars have been struggling with theirform this season, having gleaned only eightpoints from their eight matches.
They currently occupy 13th place on thelog.
The Cape side will want to return to win-ning ways ahead of their Telkom KnockoutCup (TKO) clash against Orlando Pirates atOrlandoStadiuminSoweto at theweekend.
The PSL clash against Stars kicks off at
