RONBEBOSCH: OPPOSITION TO ‘OUT­OF­PLACE’ DEVELOPMENT

Plan gets green lightASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Rondebosch residents are opposing thedevelopment of a student digs as theybelieve it is out-of-place, ill-designed

and inappropriate.A proposed development application was

made by the owners of the property in 2011.The property in question is situated on erf31923 on the corners of Annerley andSawkins roads.

Jonathan Hobday, chairperson of theRosebank/MowbrayCivicAssociation, saysmore than a year ago developers applied forpermission to build a high-density, studentdigs block on this site.

“Residents, the Rosebank NeighbourhoodWatch and the civic association all objectedfor many reasons.

“The type of accommodation not being inkeepingwith the area, potential parking andnoise problems, refuse removal problemsand privacy issues are among them,” hesays.

Hobday says the subcouncil held a plan-ning hearing and the respective cases werepresented.

The subcouncil vetoed the project. The de-velopers then appealed to the City’s Plan-ning Appeals Committee, which overturnedthe subcouncil ruling.

He adds the objectors then appealed to theProvince. “It now appears that the Provincehas given the go-ahead for the development.Naturally, the community is disappointed,”Hobday says.

He says they are also “mortified” that nei-ther the Province nor the City of Cape Townhas deemed it fit to inform residents of theirdecision or the reasons for their decision.“The first thing we knew about it was whenthe demolition started,” Hobday says.

He says it is “grossly insensitive” of themunicipal and provincial planning authori-ties not to do the objectors the common cour-tesy of keeping them informed and givingtheir reasons for any decision taken.

Resident David Newby says the propertywas originally a residential home, but wasthen converted into a church.

Annerley Chapel was owned by the Chris-tian Brethren denomination.

“Because of declining numbers the con-gregation was closed and the property wasput on the market. It was originally boughtby a woman who registered it in the nameof the Sunshine Children’s Trust.

She attempted to build a block of flats onthe property in 2008, but the Rosebank resi-

dents objected and subcouncil upheld ourobjection,” Newby says.

According to Newby, the development en-tails a three-storey building 11m high.

It will be set back three metres fromSawkins Road (facing the Common) andneighbours in Liesbeeck Road and five me-tres from Annerley Road.

“It comprises 16 units and will offer 19parking bays,” he explains.

A further concern is that sevenof theunitshavemezzanine floorswhichhave thepoten-

tial to serve as additional bedrooms (partic-ularly for students).

This has the potential to enable up to 46people to live on this relatively small pieceof land, Newby says.

He says apart from the aesthetical con-cerns, the surrounding roads are very nar-row and the parking provision on site is in-adequate whichwill create a traffic problemas well.

Several attempts by People’s Post to reachthe owners were unsuccessful.

CONSUMERS: ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR GEYSERS

How geyser rebate affects youMICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertMB

Electrical geysers may well continue toguzzle up some 60% of household elec-tricity supply as some incentives by Es-

kom to get more people solar-savvy havebeen cancelled.The energy supply giant said it has placed

its Load Reduction Rebate Programme un-der review, meaning rebates worth thou-sands of rands it has been doling out to solar-enthusiastic households will be severlycurbed.A leading solar products company has

since drawn up a petition against the energygiant because of this decision to cut rebates.“In a surprise move, Eskom has terminat-

ed the current solar rebate programme, ef-fective from 1 May, with minimal notice tothe public, industry and other stakehold-ers,” said Klint Munton, owners of SunScanSolar Energy Technologies.“This means that all Eskom solar rebates

will fall away, in stark contrast to their pub-lic image of endorsing, supporting and sub-sidising more energy-efficient ways of heat-ing water and, in turn, saving electricity,”Munton said.“Eskom’s major campaigns, which have

cost millions, warn us to cut back on our us-age and urge us to turn off pool pumps, gey-sers and non-essential appliances.“Despite this, electricity demand still ex-

ceeds supply during peak periods, and nowEskom is pulling the plug on their endeavorto save power by their subsidising of energy-aware consumers who install power-savingwater heaters and geysers,” Munton said.“The question remains that with an elec-

tricity grid under severe strain, how is itpossible that a programme such as the LoadReductionRebateProgrammecanbediscon-

tinued?”The City of Cape Town, a major Eskom

customer, said the rebate cuts only appliedto high-pressure solar geysers, and then on-ly if the components used in the making ofthese geysers have beenmostly locally man-ufactured.“There are new requirements around re-

bates and high-pressue systems, being thatrebates will only applywhere production in-cludes 70% locally produced components,”said Sarah Ward, head of the City’s energydepartment.Ward said there had been little movement

regarding the low-pressure systems mostlyused in low-cost housing schemes.“The national low-pressure solar water

heating programme is on hold. It has beenfor the past two-and-a-half years,” she said.This is in line with Eskom’s response.The energy giant said the rebateswere not

cut completely, but are taking a differenttack.“The programme is under review to en-

hance certain aspects such as creatingmoreopportunities to stimulate local manufac-ture, and the level of rebate,” said LatetiaVenter, Eskom’s marketing and communi-cations manager.“The programme will continue, but with

changes which are currently under consid-eration,” she said.“There will be no negative implication to

the grid as the subsidy will continue.“Selected areaswith low-cost housing con-

sumers will continue to receive low-pres-sure solar water heating systems for free,”Venter said.There are two popular kinds of solar-pow-

ered geysers: one that works with solartubes, the other with solar flat-plates.A typical 200F solar tube system for a fami-

ly of four costs R29 697. The Eskom rebate

on this system is R5 865. Thus, in total, itcomes down to R23 832. Munton said with fi-nancing this amount was repayable over upto five years with a monthly instalment ofR998.“One very important point to note – the

tubes are only manufactured overseas.South Africa does not have a manufacturefacility to make this product,” Munton said.“With Eskomwanting to do awaywith the

rebate on imported products this is going tolimit the homeowner to flat-plate technologyonly.“This becomes problematic when the

home owner has a roof orientation which ismore than 45° off north. Flat-plates do notperform well when placed on such a roof,”he said.Another problem was the threat posed to

local businesses which have bought into themanufacturing of alternative energy.One such business is that owned by David

Lipschitz. His company advocates net-me-tering – an alternative energy solutionwhereby households generate their ownelectricity and sell any excess back into thegrid.Lipschitz said the rebates were just one

way in which Eskom and the government’sapproach to alternative energy is puttingsmall manufacturers out of business.He said if governmentwould spendmoney

on alternative energy sources to create theirown electricity, it would free up enough en-ergy for industry.Munton’s petition against the rebate cut

remains. Eskom’s response to the petitionwas brief: “Eskom is not intending to closethe programme.”V View the petition at https://secure.avaaz.org/en/pe­tition/Phindile_Baleni_CEO_of_NERSA_Petition_Es­kom_to_keep_the_Solar_Rebate_for_ALL_products/?wMnMphb

ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid

A neglected strip of pavement will soonbe converted into a community gar-den for Rondebosch residents.

The open space along Harrow Road inRondebosch has a long “pavement” on therailway side of the road which at the mo-ment is a scruffy unkept area, says wardcouncillor Ian Iversen.

“I estimate that it must be about 300m inlength and its widest point about 3.5m andhas the potential to be turned into a usefulpiece of land from which the communitycan benefit,” he says.

The area is filled with litter and weeds,alien Poplar trees, tree branches are touch-ing electricity lines, and according toIversen, a shelter for the homeless.

“However, the soil looks good and thereis no reason at all that local residentsshould be subjected to such a poor vista. Ihave arranged with the various City ofCape Town departments to remove the lit-ter, cut the grass, remove the alien saplings(the stumps will be coated with a poison)and to have the trees trimmed,” Iversensays.

His idea is to turn this area into an attrac-tive community space where indigenousflowers and shrubs will be planted.

“We would also like to establish a herbgarden and a community garden where lo-calswill be free toharvest carrots, cabbagesand other vegetables.

“A leaflet drop was done in the area invit-ing interested people to step forward andwe now have a few interested parties whowill play a critical role,” he says.

Iversen says they will take “baby steps”at first as the area is really large and to cov-er such an area with shrubs and herbs willcost a fortune.

“An area has been identified and will bemarked out, the grass removed, compostadded and then the gardening will begin,”he says.

After Iversen made numerous attemptsto get the community involved, MichaelShackleton and his wife – who live on Har-row Road – responded to the call by Iversento meet and discuss the possibility of plant-ing shrubs, vegetables and making en-hancements to the road.

“Harrow Road, as the ward councillor ac-cepted, has been badly neglected for a longtime. The gutters and grass patches alongthe way are overgrown and unkempt, andthe road has become a dumping site, whichis an ugly blot on the neighbourhood,” saysShackleton.

He says he seldom sees a cleaner in thevicinity.

“Adjacent roads, suchasDulwichandEd-nam roads, are in a similar state, with seri-ously clogged drains. Initially, we thoughtthis would be the councillor’s priority,” hesays.

He says when he and his wife walked to

the shops along Harrow Road into OakRoad they found fresh dumping of rubbishon the roadside.

Shackleton says three other residentspitched up at the meeting where he toldIversen that most dwellers are students orobviously “unconcerned” people who care“nothing” about thebeautifying of the road.

“We pointed out that Harrow Road,which runs up to the Newlands Rugby Sta-dium, is overwhelmed by vehicles whenthere are key rugby matches. Drivers ofcars and heavy trucks have not hesitatedto park on the grass alongside the railwayline, crushing whatever vegetation is al-ready there,” he says.

Shackleton says they felt slightly cynicalthat there could be any improvement inHarrow Road unless the City of Cape Towntook the proposed plans seriously, becausethe locals reaction has been “apathetic”,and rugby fans, intent on finding parking,would care nothing if they destroyed herbgardens or anything like that.

“If the proposed upgrade goes ahead, itwill require supervision constantly, espe-cially on rugby match days. Residentscould not do this as they are either study-ing, working or unavailable to do so,”Shackleton says.

He says it would be a “splendid” idea ifHarrow Road could be rejuvenated andmade into the highway to Newlands stadi-um that the City could be proud of.

“Right now, it is full of potholes, filthyand certainlyno goodadvertisement for thearea which is well known internationallyas the home of South African rugby andcricket.”VFor more information about the project or to getinvolved contact ward councillor Ian Iversen on083 629 7051 or email Ian.Iversen@capetown.gov.za

KENILWORTH: DRIVE TO BOOST CHILDREN’S LEARNING

Help desk campaignASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A Kenilworth resident believes thatgovernment is hard pressed to ad-dress the ever-growing needs of chil-

dren, particularly the disadvantaged, whohave few, if any desks, in their schools.Louis Barr decided to take action by cre-

ating a portable desk which would help toease the shortage of school desks in thecountry.He has created a portable desk that can

be used anywhere, any time – the child car-ries it around , and simply places it on theirlaps. This “innovative” solution is bothfunctional and eco-friendly.“The final portable deskwill be plastic in-

jectionmoulded, and thus caneasily bekeptclean, orwipeddry if it getswet. It is amain-tenance-free product that will give eachchild their ownversion of a full-sized desk,”he says.Barr is calling on “big” businesses which

can play a major role in their corporate so-cial upliftment programmes.“This could become a joint venture be-

tween themand theirmajor suppliers (part-ners), by buying any number of these porta-ble desks, which could be branded with thefunder’s name,” he says.Currently involved in an undertaking

with a large project to manufacture suchportable desks, Barr needs to know inwhichprovinces and atwhich schools thereare desk shortages.“It is both vital and urgent to know the

shortage, to guide both the budgeting of themanufacture, as well as that of the privateenterprise sponsors, who would like to getinvolved with particular schools,” he says.According to Barr, many children are

still being educated under trees, withoutschool desks.And without this basic need children

struggle to find a solid surface on which topractice their writing and do their school-work.Barr says in an environmentwheremany

lessons are taught outside, pupils resort towriting on the ground, where dust and dirtinterfere with their work; writing on paperresting on the back of another child; orwrit-ing on the bench on which they are sitting,where space is limited.“According to figures from United Na-

tions, Educational, Scientific and CulturalOrganisation over 96 million learners inSub-saharan Africa do not have access to aschool desk,” he says.“This lack of a desk can impede every-

thing from discipline to basic literacy.Without desks, it is difficult for learners toput into practice what the teacher demon-strates in front of the class.”This portable desk will be manufactured

in South Africa, thereby creating local em-ployment in the fabrication of the moulds,the manufacturing of the desks, the brand-ing of the desks, and the distribution of thefinished desks, Barr explains.“The aim is to have all fabrication and

manufacturing in done Cape Town,” hesays.“Due to the considerable cost of settingup

the fabrication and manufacturing, a mini-mum run of 5000 desks is required – eachdesk will sell at R300,” he says.Barr says this is an opportunity to pro-

duce an “innovative” and “unique” productas more and more children come throughthe ranks.“The product could also be distributed

throughout Africa, and even worldwide.”

Trailer to helpcurb crimeASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The donation of a security caravancould be the solution to the prostitu-tion and other crime issues in the

Claremont Police Cluster.This after a security caravanwas donated

to the local community improvement dis-trict.The security caravan was handed over to

the Claremont Improvement District Com-pany (CIDC) by the provincial minister forcommunity safety Dan Plato last Friday.Plato pledged his department’s support to

the community and promised the caravanwould provide a focal point of refuge to thecommunity.It will be manned in an initiative to play

a role in crime prevention.Claremont police station commander

Colonel Enolium Joseph also pledged hissupport in the manning of this caravan.CIDC manager Abdul Kerbelker ex-

pressed his gratefulness, as the donationprovided a visible landmark which wouldassist in crime prevention.“We will provide the necessary staff to

man this caravan,” he says.Claremont Community Police Forum

(CPF) chairperson Mike Kabat appealed toJoseph to clearly issue a protocol whichwould give police officers clear guidelinesto prosecute prostitutes who are contribut-ing to “undesirable and anti-social” behav-iour in the area.Cluster CPF chairperson Liz Williamson

said the caravan will aid law enforcementvisibility and let criminals know they arebeing watched.“Hopefully it would be seen as more than

just a security trailer, as the people man-ning the trailer would be capacitated to as-sist the community with any crime-relatedissue, aswell as possible dealingwith issuessuch as certifying of documents,” she said.Williamson added: “Visible policing,

whether security caravans or extra policepatrol vehicles or security partnerships,will send a clear message that the Clare-mont Cluster area means business in solv-ing crime problems by strengthening theirpartnerships.”The trailer was requested in a bid to com-

bat crime in the area, particularly the pros-titution in Pine Road and surroundingstreets.“It was an idea conceptualised and then

implemented after a meeting with Plato inOctober last year,” Williamson said.“Residents living in Pine Road and the

surrounding streets have been plagued byprostitution – to the extend that they cannotallow the children to play outside.“This will now assist the community to

take back their streets.”

Silver medal for young fencerLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A Pinelands fencer was recently namedas one of the world’s best when heachieved remarkable results in consecu-tive major international tournaments.Adam Schroeder took silver at the Ca-

det and Junior African Championshipsin Egypt in March and followed up witha top 64 finish at the Cadet and JuniorWorld Championships in Bulgaria lastmonth.The Pinelands High School pupil is

proud of his achievements.“I was really happy with my results at

the African Championships,” he says.“I didn’t think Iwould do sowell. It was

a lot harder at theWorld Championships.It’s (much) bigger and the competition ismuch better. The best fencing happens inEurope, so all the European countries dowell. I was very happy with my results.I improved a lot since last year and I canonly improve more.”Schroeder has been competing in the

sport for only three years.He took up fencing after hearing about

it and seeing pictures. He fell in love withthe sport when he attended his first prac-tice.“I love fencing because of the versatili-

ty. There is so much you can do and somuch to it,” Schroeder says.“There are so many tactics and strate-

gies – that’s why fencing is known as‘physical chess’. It’s also cool becauseyou’re using a sword. I played aroundwith wooden swords when I was young-er.”Schroeder’s love for fencing has only

increased since taking up the sport. Lastyear he saw a sharp improvement in hisperformances.The 17-year-old’s form saw him finish

the year as the top ranked fencer usingthe épée weapon in the Cadet (under-17)and Junior (under-20) age groups.

He also achieved his national coloursfor the first time.Schroeder say simple diligence and

dedication were the secret to his im-provement.“I trained more often – I fenced five

times a week, I was in the gym five timesa week and I watched a lot more fencingand took notes,” he says.“I alsohadmore lessons. I just putmore

effort into it and it paid off.”Schroeder intends to keep up his high

level training, with the aim of retaininghis Junior division number one ranking.But he has even bigger dreams for the

near future.“I want to make the top 64 at least, and

hopefully the top 32 at the Junior WorldChampionships next year,” he says.“My dream is to (compete) at the 2020

and 2024 Olympic Games. I would love to(finish in) the top eight.”

Triathlete aimsfor the trebleLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A Claremont residenthas set her sights on athird triathlon world

title after a promising show-ing in a recent Cape Townrace.Viv Williams won the

World Triathlon Series(WTS) Olympic distanceworld championship in herage group in Germany in2007 and the WTS worldlong distance champion-ships in her age group inSpain in 2012.Now the 52-year-old aims

to do the same in the half-ironman distance at theIronman World Champion-ship in Canada in Septem-ber, after taking bronze inthe WTS Cape Town wom-en’s veterans’ race at theend of April.“I start training for the

world championships in thenext two weeks,” she says.“I don’t know if I will be

on the top step of the podium again, but thatis my goal. I would like to finish in the top-three, but it would be nice to win gold.”Williams finished the Cape Town WTS

race behind Netherlands athlete Kelly vande Troon (first) and British participant Jen-ny Nel (second).This is the first timeaWTSeventwashost-

ed in South Africa. Williams was happy tosecure a podium finish in her home town,but says it doesn’t compare to a world cham-pionship victory.

“I raced really well, but itwas nothing like winning aworld championshipevent,” Williams says.“It was fantastic to be

part of it, but the worldchampionship victorieswere very important tome.”Williams has been partic-

ipating in the sport for 24years and competed profes-sionally from 1995 to 1999.Since taking up the sport

of triathlon she hasamassed several titles and along list of achievements.Williams won her age

group in the 2008 Pick n PayCape Argus Cycle Tour,won the 2011, 2012 and 2014Ironman South Africa 70.3age group titles and has at-tempted to pass on herknowledge as manager andcoach of the TriathlonSouth Africa elite, develop-ment and junior squads.She says she loves the

sport as much now as whenshe started.

“I started out as a road runner and I wasalways a swimmer, but had never been ona bicycle,” she says.“Once you start competing, it’s addictive.

I just love the training. I managed to travelthe world as a professional when I wasyounger and now I’m really enjoying it asa age group participant.”The Ironman World Championships will

take place on Sunday 7 September. It will beWilliams’ first time at an Ironman WorldChampionship.

THIRD TIME LUCKY: Claremontresident and Rustenberg GirlsSchool teacher Viv Williams aimsto win her third world title in thesport of triathlon in September.

‘Black and Yellow’ on a goal huntLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Milano United will need to win big to haveany hope of qualifying for theAbsa Premier-ship promotion/relegation play-offs.The Grassy Park side are currently fourth

on the National First Division (NFD) table,level on points and goal difference withthird-placedBlackLeopards but trailing dueto an inferior number of goals scored.Milano can still finish the season placed

second or third and qualify for the play-offs,but will need to pull off a high-scoring victo-ry in their final game or pick upwhat pointsthey can and hope for favourable results inother fixtures.Any of the sides from second to fifth place

can still finish in the second and third spots.Second-placed Baroka FC will host 10th-

placed Thanda Royal Zulu, and will be ex-pect to pull of a win to increase their pointstally to 52 to seal second place.Third-placedBlack Leopardswill travel to

fifth-placed Jomo Cosmos, who could in-crease their points total to 49 and climb to

third on the table if they win and Milano donot.The Black and Yellow will host Chippa

United, who were crowned league champi-ons on Sunday.Theywill finishwith 50 points should they

win.Should Barokawin – as expected – andMi-

lano and Black Leopards win by the samenumber of goals, Leopardswill remain thirdthanks to a higher amount of goals scored.Should Baroka draw or lose, victories for

Leopards and Milano will see both sides gothrough – with goal difference or goalsscored again the deciding factor for whichteam finishes higher.Milano United lost 1-0 to Chippa in the re-

verse fixture in December and have scoredthe least goals in the top four this season.All signs seem to indicate that the Black

and Yellow could struggle to pull off any vic-tory, never mind one which improves theirgoal difference significantly.V Milano United vs Chippa United will take place atRooikrans Sports Complex in Ninth Avenue, GrassyPark at 15:00 on Sunday 11 May.

Tigers tears up Super League ALIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

UCT installed themselves as early sea-son Super League A title favouriteswith a fourth comprehensive victory

last weekend.The Ikey Tigers are the only side to have

playedmore thanone gameand takenmax-imum points from all, and currently topthe league standings.They launched straight into their Super

League A campaign after winning the Var-sity Cup, with the momentum serving

them well.The Tigers kicked off the campaign with

a 49-22 demolition of Tygerberg at FloridaPark, before thrashing NNK 64-28 at theJan Burger Stadium, cruising past KuilsRiver 38-12 at the Green Mile and pummel-ling Primrose 49-11 at Rosmead on Satur-day.The bonus point victories means UCT

have a points total of 20 and lead second-placed Victorians by five points.However, their toughest test so far comes

on Saturday in the form of rivals Stellen-bosch University – also unbeaten after

three matches and third on 14 points.UCT beat Maties both home and a away

in the Varsity Cup this year, and the Ma-roon Machine will be itching for revenge.Maties will have to improve on their last

showing, a narrow 19-18 win against toptier newcomers False Bay at home on Sat-urday.Both UCT and Stellenbosch will also be

in action on Wednesday 14 May, facing SKWalmers and Helderberg respectively.Hamiltons are also expected to put in a

strong challenge for the Super League A ti-tle this season after a promising showing

at the Community Cup.The Sea Point side finished third, losing

just once during the tournament.South Africa’s oldest club edged Victori-

ans 31-28 in their opening game last Satur-day and can be expected to pull off anotherwin away against Kuils River this week-end.SK Walmers will travel to face Helder-

berg in their fifth game of the season, look-ing to pick up their third victory.Meanwhile, FalseBaywill hostBelhar in

their fourth game and be looking to securetheir third win of the season.
