Standoff in farm eviction caseNICOLE MCCAIN

Forty-year-old Elzane Carelse has lived inPinetown, Sir Lowry’s Pass, for her entirelife.

She and five other families were served witheviction notices at the beginning of the year.Thesmallcommunitystayinginhomesbelong-ing to Alwyn van Pittius took the matter tocourt in February. But after agreeing to enterinto negotiations a month ago, they still ha-ven’t resolved the issue.

Carelse’s home on erf 849, which she says shelovingly repaired, may now be taken from her.“I lie awake worrying: ‘Am I going to have ahome tomorrow? And if we have to leave,where will I take my children?’”

The parties agreed to enter into a mediationprocess during their last court appearance on8 September, and say they were told they wouldbe given a new place to stay. According to Van

Pittius’s lawyer Barry Nortje, none of the cur-rent residents is employed by Van Pittius, who“merely seeks to obtain housing for [his] ownemployees, some of whom are currently resid-ing in informal housing”.

However, the residents don’t want to leave.“I don’t want to live anywhere else,” says

Carelse. “I was born here, my children too. Idon’t know anywhere else.”

Her mother worked on the farm adjacent toher home for almost 30 years, with Carelse of-ten helping her. “We had it tough. We used tocome home from school and went to help onthe farm. We knew every nook on that farm.But today, we can’t even set foot on it.”

In 1997, the Van Pittius family bought theland, and Carelse and her family were evictedfrom their home. They moved to the informalsettlement in Pinetown, but 10 years ago sheapproached the Van Pittius family and askedif she could live in one of the vacant buildingsused to house seasonal workers.

She says she and her husband Dominic re-paired the building, cleaned the soot from thewalls, and turned it into a worthy home forthemselves and their two children.

Then, in June last year, the residents weretold they would have to pay R500 a month asrent, says Carelse, even though they had notpreviously paid any rent.

Sy verslaafdheid het sy verhoudingmet sy gesinslede nadelig beïnvloed.“Sy broers en susters sou teleurge-steld na hom kyk. Jy kon nie jou foonof geld laat rond lê nie dan verdwyndit – gesteel om dwelms te koop.”

Jesmineglo indiekragvangedeeldeervarings. “Ek het vertroue om metanderma’s te praat.Onsmoet onshar-te oopmaak en ons stemme laat hoor.”

Sy doen haar gemeenskapswerk inhaarvrye tyd, terwyl syvoltydsvirdiedepartement sport en ontspanningwerk en kry geen finansiering nie, be-halwe deur die kerk.

Jesmine meen dwelmmisbruik iswydverspreid in dieHelderberg.Haarprojek bereik Somerset-Wes, ChrisNissen Park, Nomzamo, Lwandle,Strand en Sir Lowry’s Pass.“Dwelms is in ál ons gemeenskappe.Families word opgebreek en kindersword die slagoffers.”

Grant hassles easedNICOLE MCCAIN

Despite a slow start on Tuesday, the re-registration for grants in Macassarseems to have been running smoothlyfor the last week.

The re-registration process, which hasbeen running since the beginning of Sep-tember, is part of the South African SocialSecurity Agency’s (Sassa’s) national roll-out of new smartcards intended to cutdownoncorruption in the social grant sys-tem.When thedrivekickedoff,Macassar res-

idents looking to re-register found them-selves queuing for several hours, only tobe turned away. Several reasons were giv-en to them for this, including that the ma-chines were not working, there were not

enough cards, and that only a limitednumber of people could be helped.Shivani Wahab, Sassa Western Cape’s

senior manager for communications andmarketing, says the issues had arisen dueto a problem with connectivity, and be-cause the hall had been double-booked.It was for this reason that the re-

registrations were extended to the firstweekofOctober.However,amiscommuni-cation, according toWahab,meant that nofingerprints could be taken – so the regis-trations only resumed late onTuesday lastweek.Wahab says no further problems have

cropped up since Wednesday.If you’d like to find outmore, contact the

Sassaoffice inEersteRiveron021 904 1021,or pay a visit to the office at 42 Main Road,Eerste River.

SCHOOL TRUANCY

Skoolhoof Bernard Simons reageer as volg:Dié probleem is met die ouers opgeneem en

leerlinge is ook van die skool weggewys. Ouersis per brief versoek om hul kinders terug na dieskool te vergesel.Die polisie het ook vandie leer-linge na hul huise geneem, maar die ouers hetmy nie kom sien nie. Sommige leerlinge is uitdie klas gesit ,maar is te lafhartig omhul ouersdaarvan te vertel.

Hoë onderwyser-afwesigheid speel ook ’ngroot rol; daar is te min mannekrag om toesigte hou. Ouers wil ook nie altyd toesig hou nie.

Daar is al baie aan leerlinge genoem dat diehele wêreld by ons skool verbyry en dat dit nie’n goeie beeld skep as hulle in klastyd buite indie son sit nie. Ek het hulle gewaarsku dat souhulle gevang word dat hulle stokkiesdraai, ekhulle huistoe kan stuur omdat hulle nie klassebywoon en op skool wil wees nie.

Soms is ek onbewus dat hulle buite rondsit.Daar is egter dae wat ek feitlik heeldag buiteis om leerlinge terug klas toe te jaag. Ek sal ditweer indienuwekwartaal in ’nnuusbriefonderdie ouers se aandag bring. Ons leerlinge is nieverantwoordelik genoeg om te besef dat hullein ’nklasmóétweesnie.Dit is ’n eindelose stryd.

Petrol price affects taxi fareNICOLE MCCAIN

The Gazette spoke to commuters about how the R1taxi fare increase on each trip, from 1 November,will affect them.

Ricardo Schoemanfrom Macassar Vil-lage says the in-crease is necessary,and it is not toosteep. “I think mostpeople can afford it.But it will be difficultfor people who don’twork.” PHOTOS:NICOLE MCCAIN

Jacqueline Daniels van Chris Nissen Park sê sy salsukkel om die ektra geld te kry. “Ek kan dit nie bekostignie. Ek het reeds nie genoeg geld nie.”

Spasina Wessou vanAsanda Village sêdie petrolprys het dieverhoging veroor-saak. “Dit kan maaropgaan. Dis nie teveel nie. En die pe-trolprys raak almeer.”

Logic Galu from Zolasays the increase willhave a big impact onhim. “It will really affectme. The money we getis not enough. I will haveto start walking more,but I’m scared I’ll getrobbed.”

Taswill Badenhorstreis van Mitchell’sPlain af en sê: “Dieverhoging is regver-dig. Petrol wordduurder, en die taxi’skan nie werk sonderdie prysstyging nie.”

Evelyn Satira vanMacassar is be-kommerd oor dieverhoging. “Ek kandit nie bekostig nie.Ekwerk net een dagin die week. Ek salby die huis moetbly, want ek wordnie meer betaalnie.”

Helderzicht-biblioteeklot nog nie beslis nieNICOLE MCCAIN

Helderzicht inwoners is bekommerddat die Helderzicht-biblioteek perma-nentmagsluitnadatdieStadenprovin-siale amptenare verlede Dinsdag beginboeke oppak het.

Die skuif het egter tot stilstand gekomná “protesaksie” deur drie gemeenskaps-lede wat buite die biblioteek betoog het, sêrdl. Tandeka Gqada, burgemeesterskomi-teelid vangemeenskapsdienste bydie StadKaapstad.

Volgens Gqada was provinsiale biblio-teekdienste-personeelbesigomboekeop tepak toe hulle bewus word van wat hulle“protesaksie” deur die gemeenskap noem.Toe hulle hul toesighouer hiervan in ken-nis stel, is hulle teruggeroep na die provin-

siale kantoor “om hul veiligheid te verse-ker”. Die “protes-aksie” waarna Gqadaverwys is die teenwoordigheid van drieHelderzicht-inwoners wat buite die biblio-teek vergader het om die oppak van boekete aanskou.

Gqada sê die Stad se departement vanbi-blioteek- en inligtingsdienste inoorlegmetdie provinsiale biblioteekdienste het inMeibesluit omdieboekenaanderbibliote-keteskuif,afhangendvandiefinalebesluitoor die biblioteek se toekoms.

Raadslid Benedicta van Minnen sê diegebou isvervalle envandieboeke isbeska-dig.

“Dis ’n skok vir die gemeenskap om dieagteruitgang te sien,” sê Ebbie Sedgewick,een van die mans wat “betoog” het. Nog’n inwoner, Hennie Patience, voel die ge-meenskap is nie geken in die saak nie.

Gqada het bevestig dat die gemeenskapnie geraadpleeg is voordat die boeke ver-wyder is nie.

Van Minnen sê egter die gemeenskap isbewus dat die biblioteek mag sluit. Sy sêdie kwessie is by die subraad-, wyksraad-en buurtwagvergaderings bespreek en dieraad skakel tansmetdiebelastingbetalers-vereniging. ’n Versoek vir permanentesluiting is inApril aandie subraadvoorge-lê, wat sê die houtgebou het werk aan sydak nodig.

Die biblioteekwat dieHelderzicht, Paar-devlei-en Garden Village gebiede bedien,is reeds vir twee-en-’n-half jaar gesluit.Van Minnen sê die subraad is gekant teendie biblioteek se sluiting, alhoewel Gqadasê geen finale besluit nog geneem is nie.

SysêdieStadhetmethulhoofgekommu-nikeer ompraktiese reëlings vir die tydeli-ke uitplasing van boeke te bespreek, maar’n nuwe datum is nog nie vasgestel nie.

Die “protesaksie” van drie gemeenskapslede hetDinsdag die oppak van boeke by die Helderzicht-biblioteek tot stilstand gedwing het.
