A WHALE OF A SALE

MONIQUE DUVAL@monique_duval

The proposal for a second access road toMasiphumelele elicited an exasperatedexpletive from one Fish Eagle Park

businessman.Other business owners added their senti-

ments – all negative – to the proposal to ex-tend Houmoed Avenue at a cost of aboutR15m.At a meeting held last week, Don Hugo of

HHO Africa Engineers, outlined the City ofCape Town’s plan and gauged the responsefrom local business owners.He explained the plan is to construct a

road from the entrance of Fish Eagle Park,behind the factories to connect Kommetjie

and Myeza roads.Business owners questioned whether the

proposal was finalised.City Mayoral Committee member for

Transport Brett Herron says, however, thisroute is the City’s final decision.Officials have looked at other options,

such as Lochiel Road, Herron says, but thiswas “not an option”.The second access road aims to provide

Masiphumelele residents and the City’semergency and maintenance services withalternative access in case of emergencies.Currently Pokela Road is the only formal

access route.He says the extension is also a condition

of approval for the Masiphumelele phase 4housing development.

Questioning whether the City had“thought this through”businesses cited con-gestion, crime and protesters potentiallyblocking the second entrance as among theirmain concerns.Tsepho Moletsane of the Masiphumelele

Backyarders and Informal Settlements Fo-rum says the community supports the plansto extend Houmoed Avenue. The single ac-cess point puts Masiphumelele residents indanger during emergencies, he says.“This road has been talked about for

years, butnothinghappened.Wesupport theCity’s plans as it will help reduce the safetyrisk to Masiphumelele residents,” he says.But business owners said the informal

road connecting Fish Eagle Park andMasiphumelele makes it easy for criminals

to escape.Mike Burnham King said there are three

seeping wetlands on the proposed route andquestioned if the City required an Environ-mental ImpactAssessment. Hugo respondedsaying they are “not too concerned with it”.Herron says in meetings between City de-

partments and the Department of Environ-mental Affairs and Development Planning(DEADP) to discuss the Houmoed Avenueextension and stormwater managementmatters behind theMasiphumelele informalsettlement it was resolved the road and theimprovement of stormwater drainage sys-tems can also proceed.“This is still work in progress and a meet-

ing with DEADP to discuss the proposals isstill to take place,” he says.

Plans to erect signalling masts at StJames and Clovelly train stations havechanged.

South Peninsula Subcouncil chairpersonFelicity Purchase says that due to concernsraised by residents, the Passenger RailAgency of South Africa (Prasa) intends toerect a different type of mast at the train sta-tions.

In July, Prasa revealed plans to improvethe management of trains and applied to thenational Department of Environmental Af-fairs to erect signalling masts in rail servi-tudes at 21 stations across Cape Town (“Pra-sa rail plan on track”,People’s Post, 17 July).

The initial report indicated that the ma-jority of the masts across the southern sub-urbs are set to be 30m tall while the mastsat St James and Clovelly stations will be 15m

in height.Tony Trimmel, chairperson of the Kalk

BaySt JamesRatepayers’ andResidents’As-sociation (KBSJRRA) says they are con-cerned about the visual impact of thesemasts, due to the close proximity of the sta-tions to the coastline.

In a report compiled by Barrie Gasson ofthe KBSJRRA it was stated that the mastswill most likely be a cause of concern if theywere to be installed.

Gasson writes that the introduction of sig-nals masts anywhere along the False Baycoastline is unacceptable because of its im-pact on the scenic and panoramic views.This has particular importance regardingthe area as a tourism resource.

“A signal mast at St James, either on thecommon or in the permanent way, is unac-ceptable; a signal mast at Clovelly is also un-acceptable.Alternative technological and lo-cational solutions must be investigated and

presented,” he writes.In response, Enviroworks consultants ex-

plained that the project is aimed at upgrad-ing the existing communications system.

The feedback report says currently thereis reliance on two-way radio systems andother outdated technology for communica-tion between trains, signalling offices andother operational systems and staff on therailway lines.

Addressing questions about the visual“interruption”, the report states two alter-natives have been considered. These includemonopole masts and lattice masts.

The report says monopole masts will havea “far less visual impact than that of latticemasts” andare considered to be amore feasi-ble alternative.

It also states that the masts along the FalseBay coastline will be restricted to 15m andwill therefore not be as visible as tallermasts.

Residents are able to view the Draft BasicAssessment Report. However, this does notinclude the proposal for the masts for StJames and Clovelly stations as this was out-lined in a separate report.V Do you think the masts will have a negative visualimpact on the False Bay coastline?

PETROL THIEVES

On the prowlMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Reports of petrol theft have cropped upin Glencairn, Welcome Glen and FishHoek.

According toShaneMeyer of Shane’sTow-ing he has been called out to assist residentswhohavehad their petrol pipes cut and theirtanks drained.Meyer says there has been an increase in

such reports from residents of WelcomeGlen and Glencairn in the past month.“We have had to assist people all over by

towing them. On Friday [29 August] therewere three cases at Fish Hoek Beach and inone of the theses a car battery had been sto-len as well,” he says.Meyer says petrol theft is happening “all

over” and various types of cars and modelshave been affected.“Up to three cases a week have been re-

ported,” he adds.However, Muizenberg spokesperson Cap-

tain Stephen Knapp says no incidents havebeen reported in the Simon’s Town police

precinct.Fish Hoek Police Station commander

Lieutenant-Colonel Nico Franken says dur-ing August only two of these cases were re-ported in the Fish Hoek precinct.He says police are unaware of any inci-

dents at Fish Hoek Beach as these were notreported.Franken says they noted a flare-up of pet-

rol theft in July where several residents –mainly from Silverglades – reported havingtheir petrol pipes cut (“Fuel thieves”, Peo-ple’s Post, 17 July).At the time police spokesperson Warrant

OfficerChris Cloete said policewere investi-gating the possibility of a syndicate operat-ing in the area.He explained particular vehicles where

the petrol pipes or tanks are easily accessi-ble were being targeted. No arrests had beenmade.Since then, Franken says, petrol theft has

decreased in Fish Hoek and there wasn’t aproblem currently in the precinct.“It has gone quiet and I suspect those be-

hind the petrol theft have since moved on to

another area,” Franken added.Knapp has urged residents in Welcome

Glen and Glencairn to report all incidentsof petrol theft.“All information is vital in determining

crime trends and crime prevention strate-gies,” he says.V Have you been a victim of petrol theft? Starting withthe word “Post”, SMS 32516 and tell People’s Postreaders how this affected you.

Ocean Viewdrug kingpincollaredMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

An allegedly notorious drug dealerfrom Ocean View appeared in Si-mon’s Town Magistrate’s Court after

he was nabbed by Western Cape police.A raid at theman’s DracoWay home took

place on Wednesday 3 September just be-fore 10:00.Ocean View Police Station commander

Lieutenant-Colonel Jakobus Augus con-firms the man was arrested during an un-dercover operation where tik and cash wasconfiscated.Theman’swifewas also arrested for drug

dealing on Friday 29 August, after she wasfound in possession of tik and mandrax.Augus says the investigation of both cas-

es is at a sensitive stage.A resident, who spoke on condition of an-

onymity, says while residents are pleasedwith the intervention by police they wantaction against other dealers as well.He says the alleged dealer is well known

in the community and is feared by many.“In all the years I have lived in Ocean

View, I have only heard people talk of onedealer and that is him,” he says.The resident says drugs have “de-

stroyed” the mountainside community asparents struggle with children who are ad-dicted to drugs.He believes drugs are fuelling crimes

such as theft and robbery as addicts will doanything to get their next hit.“Every second house is affected by drugs.

The addicts lie, steal and rob people formoney. Drug dealers get rich while thecommunity suffers,” he says.Augus says the case dockets are not being

handled by Ocean View police so he couldnot comment on the alleged dealer and hiswife’s next court appearance.He emphasises that all information relat-

ed to drug dealing must and will be treatedin a confidential and sensitive manner bypolice andurges the public to come forwardwith any information.In addition, Augus says, residents need

to be patient while investigations are con-ducted.“We can’t always give residents informa-

tion, especially in sensitive cases,” saysAu-gus.“We also need more people to come for-

ward and provide the necessary informa-tion for us to follow up on.”V If you have information about drug dealing, phonethe station on (021) 783 8317.

The talent show consists of five cat-egories: poetry, drama, music, danceand comedy. In each category there

are three winners. For this year’sshow, organisers have hit a hurdleand are in need of donations for priz-es. Dawkshas says they are now ap-pealing for help from the Far Southcommunity.
