The demarcation of animal zones will ultimately lead to the in- stallation of appropriate signage, the provi- sion of additional litter bins where the need is identified and the improved regulation of animals and their interaction with humans and other animals in an area with multiple users.” Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Purchase says she has received many emails on the proposed zones and to date most resi- dents want the status quo to remain.

CITY RENTAL UNITS

Policy controls home fixesMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Non-payment, limited resources, lackoffunding and high levels of theft andvandalism are the main issues

plaguing City of Cape Town rental units.The maintenance of these units across

Cape Town is often a bone of contention inmany communities but a new policy aimsto address this by prioritising repair work.

Last week, the City released its draft com-munity residential unitmaintenance policyfor public comment.

According to the policy there are a rangeof issues affecting City rental units.

The City maintains 45 000 rental unitsand 11 000 hostel beds.

ChallengesBenedicta vanMinnen, mayoral committeemember for human settlements, says majormaintenance andupgrading is required dueto the age of rental units.

“Therefore there is generally not muchfunding left over for both operational (day-to-day) and capital (major upgrading)main-tenance work.”

Van Minnen explains the high level ofnon-payment of rental by tenants also im-pacts funding. The high incidence of van-dalism, theft and abuse of municipal servi-ces infrastructure in these units is also achallenge.

She further explains gangsterism, vio-lence and associated illegal activities con-tribute to a dangerous and stressful work-ing environment for personnel. Mental andphysical health deterioration among staff isalso a challenge faced by the department.

MaintenanceResponding to questions about staff alloca-tions and the inspection of rental units, VanMinnen explains the public housing main-tenance staff cannot conduct door-to-doorsurveys, but do high-level block assess-ments once a year when the budget requestis compiled.

“TheCity relies on residents to report anyissues so that they can be addressed, espe-cially in terms of health and safety matters.The City also uses expanded public worksprogramme workers to assist where possi-ble.”

She says non-payment by tenants directlyinfluences the budgets and maintenancework that can be performed and affects thesustainability of the rental units.

“In terms of the policy, defaulting tenantsor occupants will not be assistedwithmain-tenance apart from matters relating tohealth and safety.”

She says there are various levels ofdefaulting tenants but the municipalityoften requests they make arrangements ifthey cannot pay.

“In general, payment levels vary between40% to 42% across the city. It is importanttonote that the collection rate in the alreadyupgraded units went up from 28% to 45%,”she adds.

FundingFor the 2014/2015 financial year, themunic-ipality received a once-off lifetime renova-tion grant fromnational governmentwhichallowed it to upgrade 7000 units at a cost ofR1.2bn.

VanMinnen explains those unitsmay notaccess grant repair funding again andmust

be maintained by the City in the future.“Therefore tenants must please pay their

rent to enable high levels of maintenance inthe future.”

On average, the municipality spendsR15m each year on day-to-day maintenancewhich addresses mainly health and safetyconcerns.

Van Minnen explains this maintenancedepends on what is allocated in the annualbudget. In the last financial year the depart-ment received R10.4m.

PolicyThe new draft policy categorises and priori-tises repairs to ensure that health and safe-ty repairs are attended to first.

Van Minnen explains it also incentivisestenants to pay rent in order for the City todo maintenance.

The policy proposes maintenance workbe divided into four categories which rangefrom “very high” priority to “low” priorityand according to levels.

For the first two levels, which are consid-ered “very high” or “high” priority,mainte-nance includes emergency repairs in theevent of a disaster, anything which poses ahealth risk, structural damage to a unit andelectrical repairs.

For the two lower levels, namely “medi-um” and “low” priority, maintenance cov-ers windows, ceilings, internal doors andlocks and toilet seat replacements.

The comment period on the new policycloses on Thursday 30 April.V To view the draft policy visit www.capetown.gov.za.It is also available at subcouncil offices and libraries.For more information contact Cassandra Gabriel on021 400 5212 or [email protected].

SIMON’S TOWN

Vagrants rile residentsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Vagrants and complaints against the po-lice were hot topics at the recent Si-mon’s TownCommunity Police Forum

meeting.Ongoing issues around criminal acts by

vagrants took centre stage as residents andbusinesses came out to raise their concerns.In her address, CPF chairpersonAliet Pelt

explained complaints and concerns aboutvagrants continued to dominate as the townseemed to be an attraction.She said the number of contact crimes is

also a concern and the CPF is working withthe community to see how these issues canbe addressed.In his crime report, Warrant Officer Cas-

sie Carstens reported house break-ins hadcome down, but explained theft out of motorvehicles were a concern in Glencairn andGlencairn Heights.Commenting on the assaults, Carstens ex-

plained many of these were in Red Hill.The floor was opened to questions and res-

idents immediately posed questions aboutthe vagrants.One resident, who recently moved from

Durban, asked why police did not questionvagrants who were seen “standing around”knowing crimewill “increasewhen they arearound”.Carstens explained if vagrants are inebri-

ated or are committing a criminal act, policecan act.“If they are just sitting there, there is noth-

ing we can do,” he said.Sector commander Warrant Officer Nich-

olas Spreeth explained residents needed tounderstand that the Loitering Act no longerexisted and there was no legislation whichprevented anyone who didn’t live or workin an area from being there.A business owner then raised the alarm

about a “violent” vagrant who reportedly at-tacked a Mach 1 security guard in St Ge-orge’s Street.He explained: “The guard brought the

man to the station and told officers he wascausing problems but officers said therewasnothing they could do. As they left the va-grant attacked the guard and when he de-fended himself the police charged the guardwith assault”.The business owner said if the vagrant

was dealt with, the assault case “would nev-er have happened”.

Pelt explained in cases like this, residentsand businesses should come to the CPF andlodge a complaint. Several residents agreed.“We need a statement and it will be esca-

lated and dealt with. Look for the officer’sname on his badge and record the date andtime,” she said.In response, Carstens said he has been a

police officer for 32 years and was aggrievedevery time someone claimed police weren’tdoing their job.“It’s one police member that gives every-

one a bad name. It’s not all of us and I urgeyou to report such conduct,” he said.In a separate interview, ward councillor

SimonLiell-Cock said vagrantswere becom-ing a problem in Simon’s Town and con-firmedhe received continuous reports abouttheir behaviour.“The problem is they are drunk and inter-

fere with people. There is defecating onpavements, aggressive begging and even acase where a baby was snatched.”Liell-Cock believes this is having an ad-

verse effect on business and tourism in theseaside town.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

SUN VALLEY

Residents and school meetMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The search for solutions for the traffic is-sues which plague Sun Valley got off toa positive start last week.

Residents gathered at Sun Valley PrimarySchool to meet with deputy principal Deb-bie-Jane Viljoen to voice their concernsabout the management of traffic around theschool. Opening the meeting Viljoen ex-plained the school’s management were con-cerned about the complaints from its neigh-bours and are looking for ways to tackle thevarious issues. From parking illegally tomounting verges, residents had severalquestions about the school’s plan.

In 2014 the school made a proposal for one-way streets to run anti-clockwise around theschool to develop a drop-and-go system. Thisplan was given the thumbs down by theSouth Peninsula Subcouncil after an exten-sive public participation process which re-ceived several objections from residents.

Viljoen explained the school was givenforms to hand to parents as they were roadusers to also comment on the proposal.

“The forms did not allow for parents to in-dicate whether or not they lived in the area.So we created an additional form where par-ents could state this and this could be record-ed,” she explained.

She added the school could not dictate toresidents how they should travel but ac-knowledged there is a problem.

As part of her presentation, Viljoenshowed a video and highlighted various of-fences by parents and the subsequent impli-cations for residents.

In the question session, one resident whohas been living in Sun Valley for 43 years,questioned the expansion of the schoolwhich now includes a pre-school and a highschool. Other residents also questionedwhether or not the school intended on ex-panding more. Viljoen said at this stage fur-ther expansion was not on the cards.

Questions around the possibility of the

roads being widened were also raised butViljoen said as the road reserve was man-aged by the City of Cape Town, the schooldid not have the right to extend currentparking areas or widen roads.

Another resident questioned whether ornot the school had considered building adrop-and-go facility at the sports field butViljoen said field was needed for sport andother activities.

Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Purchasewas also present at the meeting and respond-ed to questions about additional parkingbays. She explained the creating of parkingbays which required motorists to reverse inan area where children are present was dan-gerous. “The problem is you will drive overthem before you see them.”

She said the volume of cars in Sun Valleyhad increased over the years and a suitable

solution was needed to ensure the safety ofchildren while respecting the rights of resi-dents too. “There have been some good solu-tions and proposals here tonight and we willlook into it. I want to remind residents whoplant trees on verges or pavements that asthis is not your land it’s not allowed. If wewant additional embayments the problem isthey have not been budgeted for and it willbe hard to get the funds.”

Viljoen closed the meeting by askingwhether residents would be keen on attend-ing another meeting where the school’sboard would be present and they agreed.“We have gained valuable feedback and lookforward to keeping the lines of communica-tion open on this matter,” she concluded.V What do you think is a solution to the traffic prob-lems around the school? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Several suggestions on how to tackle the traffic problems in Sun Valley were made during arecent public meeting. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

SIMON’S TOWN

New officer gets atour of the townMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

There’s a new man in town and he is onthe lookout for offenders.

Last week, the new law enforcementofficer for Simon’s Town Chad Cupido tookto the streets and got familiar with the area.

Ward councillor Simon Liell-Cock ex-plains Cupido’s objective is to tackle bylawinfringements in the seaside town.

Among the top issues are vagrancy, taxis,parking violations and illegal trading. Thenew officer will cover Main Road.People’s Post joined Liell-Cock and Cupido

on a walkabout through Simon’s Town lastweek as Cupido met with business ownersand residents.

The first stop was the Simon’s TownAmenities Development Company (Stadco)offices at Jubilee Square. Liell-Cock ex-plained Stadco’s role in the management ofparking and informal traders.

As the pair inspected the area near thepublic toilets which Liell-Cock explained isfrequented by vagrants, they met a homelesswoman who was seemingly inebriated.

The councillor politely asked what hername was but she lashed out at them.

“Are you the same law enforcement fromFish Hoek beach? I’m not scared of you,” shesaid as she tried to tie a belt around her head.

Liell-Cock asked her not to shout but sheresponded with a range of expletives.

The councillor walked away and said:“You see Chad, this is the type of thing thathas a negative impact on Simon’s Town.They are drunk and behave this way and in-terfere with tourists and residents”.

Cupido was then introduced to variousbusiness owners who quickly pointed outparking violations, illegal trading and otherissues.

Liell-Cock believes the presence of a lawenforcement officer will go a long way to ad-dressing the infringements in Simon’sTown. “Anyone seen infringing on bylawswill be dealt with accordingly. He cannot as-sist with moving violations when it comesto traffic but he can definitely start tacklingthe parking violations,” he adds.V What issues do you think the new officer shouldtackle?
