OCEAN VIEW

Spotlight on play parksMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Broken glass, cracked tar, gang tags anddamaged equipment is all Ocean Viewchildren have to endure during play-

time.The condition of public parks in themoun-

tainside community came under scrutinylast week as a local organisation raised itsconcerns.Johann Kikillus, of SoteriaMinistries, ex-

plains the issue was raised at a recent meet-ing of the Early Childhood Development(ECD) forum where owners and principalswere asked if they used play parks.“Many of them laughed and asked if we

were serious. This is a result of the bad stateof the parks and several questioned whenthe parks were last maintained,” he says.Kikillus says according to the provincial

regulations, smaller ECDs which do nothave grounds for children to play on are re-quired to be in walking distance of a publicpark.“Yet nobody can use them. Some have

been badly vandalised and others are just inbad shape,” he says.Commenting on a park in Aries Avenue,

Kikillus says the metal play equipment wasstolen and the park stripped.Today nothing remains of the park except

recycled tyres.Kikillus says anumber of people arework-

ing hard behind the scenes to address socialills by equipping ECDs to ensure young chil-dren are developing and ready for school.“Playtime is part of that development but

the public parks are inadequate and need tobe maintained regularly.“Last year a child [nearly] drowned near

the new Mountain View housing develop-ment because they play close to the water asthere is nowhere else to play. Luckily theymanaged to resuscitate the child,” Kikillussays.City of Cape Town Mayoral Committee

Member for Community Services and Spe-cial Projects Belinda Walker says the main-tenance of parks is done as per the “mini-mum maintenance standards as approvedby the City at normal six-weekly intervals”.She explains the upgrading of play equip-

ment in Ocean View parks was last done inMarch last year.

“This includes repairs to play structuresand repainting of the equipment. The totalexpense of these repairs amounts toR112 000.”She says the City has not received any for-

mal reports of vandalism, but says thiswould be picked up through the monthlyplay equipment checks that are carried out.“If, at these checks, equipment is found to

have been damaged or vandalised, CityParks either removes the equipment for itto be repaired or a contractor is appointedto fix it.”Asked about the park in Aries Avenue,

Walker says this is a public open space thathas not been developed into a formal park.“The residents are encouraged to liaise

with their ward councillor about funding ifthey would like to develop a formal park in

the future,” she explains.Ocean View parents say they are con-

cerned about the safety of their children andclaim parks have been taken over by drugdealers.During a visit to a park in Libra Road on

Wednesday 21 January, several men couldbe seen smoking in a corner.Broken glass filled cracks in the tar and

burn marks could be seen on the concretestools.A man approached People’s Post and re-

marked photographs should not be taken atthe park as it is “where they do their busi-ness”.Ocean View Police Station commander

Lieutenant-Colonel Jakobus Augus saysparks andopen spaceshavebecome theplay-ground for most drug dealers.

He says officers havemade several arrestsfor drug-related crime in parks.Augus says police are concerned about il-

legal activities inparks andbelieves theCityneeds to fence them in.Walker says theyarenot awareabout drug

dealers using public parks in Ocean Viewbut encourages residents to report all illegalactivity to police.Asked whether the City had plans to cre-

ate safe spaces for children as part of theMayor’s Urban Regeneration Programme(Murp), Walker says: “Plans are underwayto discuss the needs of ECDs in Ocean Viewandamotionwas tabledby theward council-lor to do so at the last subcouncil meeting.”V What are your thoughts on the state of public parksin Ocean View?

MODIFIED CARS PROPOSAL

Regulation ‘is ridiculous’CHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Proposed regulations to clamp down on“illegalmodifications and illegal rac-

ers” seem to have had a false start.The new regulation, made public two

weeks ago and which are to be added to theTraffic Regulations Act, caused an uproaramong the motoring fraternity. The pro-posed regulation seeks to “impose stricterfines on illegal racers and cars that aremodi-fied”, says a media release.Enthusiasts are now banding together to

take a stand against the proposed regula-tion.Meanwhile City of Cape Town safety and

security mayco member JP Smith said histeam will impose stricter fines on driversfound guilty of taking part in illegal races.He saidmedia reports that he andhis team

“plan to target drivers of modified vehicles”are “worryingly inaccurate”.“For the record, the City’s Traffic Service

is mandated to enforce the provisions of theNational Road Traffic Act No. 93 of 1996.[This is] a national piece of legislationwhichstates that anymodification of or tamperingwith a vehicle’s safety design renders the ve-hicle unroadworthy unless it is done by themanufacturer or a registered body builder,”Smith says.But car enthusiasts and the after-market

industry wants clarity on what this regula-tion will mean in practical terms.Cape TownCar Enthusiasts (CTCE) repre-

sentative Kersten Greybe says confusionhas many motorists driving in fear. “Peopleare scared to even just drive their cars to thecorner shops since the announcement. No-body knows what is happening and no an-swers have been given and we need to knowexactly what this means for the Cape Towncar culture,” she says.Greybe says more people in the modified

car circle are selling their cars. “People areopting to sell their cars because they don’twant criminal records or to pay steep finesthat may land them in court eventually. The

proposed [regulation] is ridiculousandwillnever work.”She agrees it is good to clamp down on

illegal racing as it “endangers the car cul-ture in the province”. “Clamping down onillegal racers I can understand as they area hazard on the road. But to paint every-body with the same brush is horribly un-fair.”She adds that many motorists take part

in events at Killarney Raceway, but imme-diately after events “we find ourselves ina roadblock, just outside the venue. Whatis the point of practising your sport legallybut you’re victimised anyway?”She started an online petition to prevent

the proposed regulation being passed. Atthe time of the interview she represented20 000 motorists. “We want our voices to beheard. For too long we have been under-dogs and we have now decided to educateourselves with regard to the proposed [reg-ulation]. We aren’t artists with canvassesso ourmasterpieces are our cars,” she says.Interpretation of and enforcing the letter

of the law is also at issue. Online posts havebeen buzzing with incidents of clamp-downs.Ghost Squad officers have, meanwhile,

been fining drivers of modified vehiclesand even confiscating their car licencediscs.Two drivers, in a post on Facebook, were

en route to Killarney when they were ar-rested for allegedly speeding. The officersalso took their car licence discs. One driverwas fined R4000 for “inconsiderate drivingand wheelspinning”.He posted that an officer said he would

“make an example of us because we are thepeople talking bad [sic] of them on socialmedia”.He posted: “We spent our legal race night

with real criminals. The Ghost Squad offi-cer did everything in his ability to lock usup although the police at the police stationdid not want him to do so because of thepetty offence.”But Smith maintains the City’s law en-

forcement agencies “enforce the provi-

sions of these nationally mandated regula-tions”.Anothermotorist, who does notwant to be

named, says the proposed regulation isdoomed. “It will never work. They haven’tthought this through. The motoring indus-try is huge and understandably people arein uproar. We feel victimised and have noclarity as Smith changes his story every oth-er day.”He says he is afraid to drive his car any-

where because the Ghost Squad is instillingfear in drivers.“I had lots ofmodifications done tomycar,

so it may perform better. I spent a lot of timeand money on it only to now not be sure ifI candrive aroundwith it as theGhost Squadhas been targeting modified cars since therelease of the article a week ago.”Registered tuner shops say they fear the

after-market industry will be under threatshould the bylaw impose stricter laws onanybody with a modified vehicle.Yaseen Abrahams, of CPi Performance In-

novation Cape Town, says they are “highlyconcerned”with theoutlawingof carmodifi-cations. “CPi only engages in legalmodifica-tion of cars and our work is of the higheststandard. Outlawing modifications willhave a huge impact on the industry. Surelyif individuals abide by the law it is theirright to modify their cars as they wish.”The regulations are to be in effect inApril,

but Smith adds the enactment of the regula-tions is the responsibility of the provincialtransport division.“The City has lobbied for the inclusion of

impoundment of vehicles where owners arecaught participating in illegal street races,steep vehicle release fees to act as a furtherdeterrent, stricter penalties for motorists,especially those who try to evade the lawwhen confronted, and suitable penalties forspectators at illegal street races to be includ-ed in the Act,” says Smith, who adds fit-ments by registered after-market tuners arelegal if the proper process has been followed.V What do you think the City should do to clamp downon illegal racers?

Proposed new regulations to stamp out illegal racing have been met with disbelief by themodified motoring fraternity. Many claim it will be difficult to enforce and say they’re beingvictimised because of the assumption that modified cars are used in illegal races.

FISH HOEK

Taking backtheir townMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the sun sets over FishHoek and shop-pers quickly make their way home, agroup of dedicated patrollers gather in-

side the arcade off First Avenue.Accompanied by private security compa-

nies, Military Police, neighbourhood watch-es and residents, the patrollers get ready to“take back their town” .The group is participating in a new initia-

tive by the Fish Hoek Central ImprovementDistrict (CID) which sees patrollers walkingthrough Fish Hoek and tackling crime andgrime.Called Take back our town, the hour-long

walk started just after 17:00 on Wednesday28 January. As patrollers make their waydownMain Road, CID director Rick Bing ex-plains the first walk was held in Decemberand was attended by just over 30 people.“It was very successful; the minute we hit

the street, we saw several people scatter,”Bing says.He explains vagrants and illegal car

guards are the main concern and explainssome of them have become aggressive.“We keep a close eye on them and this ini-

tiative is aimed at taking back our streetsand town and letting those who engage incriminal activity know thatwe arewatchingthem”.The initiative has been supported by the

South Peninsula Subcouncil and, Bing ex-

plains, has the support of subcouncil chair-person Felicity Purchase.“It’s great because she walks with us and

when she spots something that is wrong orthat needs fixing, she takes pictures andalerts [City of Cape Town] officials,” Bingsays.The group makes its way to the taxi rank

where a taxi driver is spotted urinatingagainst the wall. One of the patrollers sayssuch behaviour is inappropriate and goes tospeak with the driver.After a brief conversation the driver apol-

ogises.The group continues to the beach front,

then walks down Recreation Road.At this junction, a police officer greets

them and apologises for not making it ontime for the patrol.He explains he has had to deal with a

young man who beat up his girlfriend be-cause she refused to steal items at a super-market.The CID is now calling on residents and

other organisations to join the patrols.They will host another walk tomorrow,

Wednesday 4 February at 17:00 starting atthe Pick ’n Pay Arcade.For the twoweekswhich follow, thewalks

will start at the Valyland Shopping Centreand Longbeach Mall at the same time.V What are your thoughts on this initiative? What haveyour experiences been on these walks? Starting withthe word “Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes costR1.

COMMUNITY POLICE FORUM

Call to help curb crimeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A clarion call has been made to resi-dents in Kommetjie, Masiphume-lele and Ocean View to come for-

ward with information on crime.Kathy Cronje, chairperson of the new-

ly elected Community Police Forum(CPF) for the Ocean View police pre-cinct, says the team is dedicated to com-bating crime and tackling associated is-sues.

This comes just weeks after police re-vealed three officers at the station arebeing investigated for corruption.

At the time, Cronje explained this in-cident helped the CPF understand whyresidents did not trust the police. TheCPF subsequently set up a dedicatedcellphone line to assist people who arehaving trouble at the station.

NowCronje says they are taking thesematters forward and are calling on resi-dents to break the silence and come for-ward with information.

She explains each year crime statis-tics for each police station across thecountry are published.

“Along with this, resources includingpolice officers andvehicles are deployedbut the problem is many crimes are go-ing unreported.”

Cronje says this results in less resour-ces being deployed despite the highcrime levels.

The CPF says they will be tacklingthis and request that residents report allillegal activities to police. If residentsare scared or do not receive any assist-ance from officers, they are requested tocontact the CPF who will take the mat-ter up on their behalf.

“Should they want to report incidentsanonymously, they can do so. We arehere to help and we really want to tacklethese problems and assist the communi-ties, but we need their cooperation,” she

says.This week, a group of men in Masiphu-

melele raised their concerns about drugdealing.

The men, who asked to remain anony-mous, claim spaza shops which sell take-away food are also packaging drugs,mainly tik, and selling these to children.

Afraid of intimidation by alleged deal-ers, the men say many are too scared totalk to police.

“When they sell a vetkoek they also selltik. This is done to hide it from police, butas more children start smoking drugs wealso see a rise in crime. This is having anegative impact on our community,”says one of the men.

Cronje says the CPF has been informedof these issues and says this is one ofmany aspects they are hoping to dealwith.

She raised the illegal sale of alcohol tounderage girls as a concern and says thelaws which governs the amount of alco-hol a personmayhave in their possessionis problematic.

“The law says you are allowed to have150F of alcohol. That is a lot andwhenoffi-cers try to take action against someonewho is suspected of selling alcohol illegal-ly, they need to find more than the al-lowed amount on the premises or catchthe person in the act.”

In addition to reporting crime matters,Cronje says the victim support room of-fers a variety of services. “It is locatednext to the station and residents can gothere for help. They [volunteers] can as-sist by providing advice,” she says.

The room is open daily from 10:00 to12:00 and from 14:00 to 16:00.

“Our aim is to create safer communi-ties and help create good relationshipsbetween police and residents,” she con-cludes.V If you would like to contact the CPF, call062 071 9341. To contact the victim support roomcall 021 783 8331.

JUBILEE SQUARE

Lease getsthumbs upMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The renewal of the lease for varioussites including Jubilee Square hasbeen given the green light by the

South Peninsula Subcouncil.The report, tabled at themonthlymeet-

ing held at the Fish Hoek chambers, in-cluded the renewal of the lease for Jubi-lee Square and the jettywith the Simon’sTown Amenities Development Company(Stadco).According to the report, Stadco has

been managing the parking at JubileeSquare since 2007 and the lease proposesthat while the square will remain ownedby the City of Cape Town, Stadco willmanage the parking at Jubilee Squareand Wharf Street.The report states that all income de-

rived from themanagement serviceswillbe used to fund repairs andmaintenanceof the City assets.It also reports that repairs andmainte-

nance and repair costs will not be the re-

sponsibility of the City for the durationof the management agreement.Councillors raised concern about

these recommendations and instead pro-posed it be re-worded to exclude capitalexpenditures.Ward councillor Simon Liell-Cock ex-

plained that a few years ago the Cityneeded to carry out repairs at the jettywhich cost thousands.“Those repairs came to thousands of

rands and we cannot expect Stadco tofund these kinds of things from parkingfees. It just won’t be enough,” he pointedout.Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Pur-

chase asked if a change be made to en-sure the City is responsible for majorcapital maintenance of these areas,should councillors support the renewalof the lease.They agreed and the lease was re-

newed.Stadco member Geoff Brundrit, who

attended the meeting, thanked council-lors for the change in the report.

MUIZENBERG

World-class beachMuizenberg has been listed in the top

10 beaches in the world by NationalGeographic.

This comes as Cape Town has been rankedby the magazine as the world’s second-bestbeach city in their latest Top 10 list.

Described as “the African capital of cool”,Cape Town was ranked higher than destina-tions such as Hawaii and France.

Belinda Walker, Mayoral Committeemember for Community Services and Spe-cial Projects, says the City of Cape Town isincredibly proud and honoured by the acco-lade given to its beaches.

“The City is in the fortunate position of be-ing surrounded by incredible natural beau-ty situated on a coastline that stretches fromSilwerstroomstrand along the West Coast,around the peninsula where our two oceansmeet, to Kogel Bay in the east,” she says.

Over 80 beaches provide a variety of recre-ational activities such as surfing, kite-boarding, boating, fishing, dog walking,

overnight accommodation, nature viewing,other tourist opportunities or just relaxingat the beach.

“Sustainable environmental managementis implementedby theCity to ensure that thecoastal ecological integrity is maintainedwhile catering for over a million visitors.This is achieved through education and en-vironmental awareness campaigns whichinclude the Blue Flag programme,” she says.

Wildlife and Environment Society ofSouth Africa (Wessa) spokesperson MorganGriffiths says the accolade has been earned.

“It is well-deserved recognition of the ded-icated efforts by the staff of the City to im-prove water safety, beach facilities, securityand importantly sea water quality at itsmany stunning beaches.”

Wessa, which implements the Blue FlagBeaches Boats and Marinas Programme inSA, commended the City for using this pro-gramme to champion its coastal manage-ment, development and job creation goals.

Boost for the gentlemen’s gameSAMANTHA LEE

Local sports stars are giving back to pri-mary schools in the Western Cape in abig way.

At the official launch of the JP21 projectin Mitchell’s Plain, Proteas cricketer JP Du-miny expressed his excitement and passionfor the game and giving back to his commu-nity.

Established in 2014, the project is based ona real commitment in re-igniting the passionand drive for the game of cricket in under-privileged communities and schools.

With the focus on the 54 primary schoolsin Mitchell’s Plain, 30 schools are alreadyparticipating in the programme.

“This project and what it stands for issomething very close to my heart,” Duminysaid.

“Being someone who has come from thecommunity and having lived in the commu-nity, I understand the need for role modelsin this community and that is why I startedthis project.”

Duminy has funded the project in conjunc-tion with numerous sponsors and also hasbacking from Western Province Cricket.

Nabiel Dien, Amateur Cricket Manager

for Western Province Cricket, thanked andcongratulated Duminy on the official launchof the project.

“Thank you JP for bringing back to thecommunity,” Dien said in his speech.

“I’ve known JP since he was 11-years-oldand I am not surprised at all that at the val-ues he has grown up with and he realiseshow important it is for us to bring backto the community so that out of Mitch-ell’s Plain another Protea cricketercan be born in the distant future.”

Dien also made mention that Du-miny has pledged to sponsor one ortwo pupils from the project to at-tend the Newlands Cricket Schoolwhich was launched two weeksago.

President ofWesternProvinceCricket, Beresford Williams,says he is equally excited aboutthe initiative.

“Congratulations on thisproject and this great initiative.It is a true privilege to be part ofthis and be involved with you.Everyone knows JP as the iconand on the world stage he isamong the very best in theworld, but one thing I have come to knowabout JP is that he is a humble young manand today he is putting his work into action,making a contribution, making an invest-ment and giving back and creating opportu-nities for other young people,” he said. Theproject will be aimed at both boys and girlsand schools have already come on board.

Jamaine Cloete, Natheer Wagner, MarkWille and Amien Kader will run the initia-tive as project coordinators while Duminyis away for work.

Cloete says this will not influence the chil-dren’s results.

“We want this project to serve as a rewardfor hard work,” he says.

Protea cricketers Robin Petersen and Fafdu Plesiss have also pledged their support

in becoming ambassadors for the project.The core purpose of the project is to im-

prove the state of cricket in schools and theyhope to roll the project out to high schoolswithin a few years.

The team aims to start by empoweringteachers, revitalising cricket facilities atschools, establish recognised and formal lea-gues, to provide schools with equipment, im-prove social interaction with learners usingexternal service providers, building part-nerships with various stakeholders, fun-draising programs, holiday programs andwinter nets.

The project will also be rolled out to otherareas in the future.V For more information visit their websitewww.jp21project.co.za.
