Ease of traffic flow is the main motiva-tion for resurfacing of Edenberg Roadtaking place at night.
The resurface work between EdenbergRoad and Paradise Park in Bishopscourtstarted last week and is expected to be com-pleted by Thursday 2 October.
Ward councillor Elizabeth Brunette saysthis work is part of the City of Cape Town’sprogramme to provide motorists with safer,easier and more efficient roads.
“The engineers will complete the workduring the night to avoid heavy delays onthe road during the day. The nightwork alsogives construction workers more time tocomplete their work,” she says.
Before the resurfacing started on Eden-berg Road, work was being carried out onLadies Mile Road to the bottom of WynbergHill and up to Trovato Road.
“The bottom of Edenberg Road up to Para-dise Park is being resurfaced now as someof the gutters have sunk and broken due tomovement underground,” Brunette ex-plains.
Early notification to residents’ associa-tions – Newlands, Bishopscourt and Fern-wood – have resulted in these structuresagreeing to the night work.
“They have agreed as various undertak-ings have to be adhered to by the projectmanagers.”

STREET PEOPLE
Working plan toassist homelessA 56-strong team will be heading to
the streets in a bid to help the home-less turn their lives around.
Council’s Social Development and Ear-ly Childhood Development Directoraterecently held an induction programmefor the new fieldworkers and clerks whohave been employed through theExpand-ed Public Works Programme (EPWP) tohelp implement the directorate’s StreetPeople Programme.R2.5m is being spent on the initiative,
council officials confirm.An induction programme was recently
held for 49 fieldworkers and seven clerkswhowill be employedby theStreetPeopleProgramme until the first quarter of nextyear.The fieldworkers’ main objective will
be to engage with street people with aview to providing assistance to thosewhowant to get off the streets.Their taskswill includemonitoring the
number of street people in their respec-tive areas; identifying individual needs,including health issues and their pros-pects of returning home; identifying newarrivals and using resources available todiscourage them frommaking a home onthe streets; and facilitating other servicesrequired and transfer to assessment cen-tres.Suzette Little, the Mayoral Committee
member for Social Development and Ear-ly Childhood Development, says the di-rectorate aims to employ additional field-workers during the course of this finan-
cial year, once more funding becomesavailable.Between April last year and June, 116
fieldworkers were employed. Plans arealso in place to appoint 24 permanentfieldworkers.“The appointment of fieldworkers is
crucial in our engagement with streetpeople,” Little says.“They are at the coal face on a daily ba-
sis and are able to help effect meaningfulchange in the lives of those who findthemselves on the street and who arelooking for a way out. The beauty of thisinitiative is that we are not only helpingpeople on the street.“We are also addressing unemploy-
ment through the appointment of thefieldworkers – thus tackling two very im-portant challenges in our city.”In addition, the directorate will contin-
ue providing employment opportunitiesfor street people through theEPWPclean-ing project.In the previous financial year, 500
street people were employed to clean andmaintain parks, cemeteries and kramatsfor three months.“We held a workshop earlier this year
where many street people indicated thatthey want to get off the streets, but faceseveral challenges including unemploy-ment. By creating these opportunitiesthrough the EPWP, we are able to putthem on a path that helps restore theirdignity and their confidence, which inturn assists the reintegration process.”
Road deaths over pay day weekendsTwelve people die on average every pay dayweekend on the province’s roads alone.This is according to provincialminister of
transport and public works Donald Grant.Analyses of this year’s fatalities data indi-
cates that road deaths on pay day weekendsspike by asmuchas 23.6%compared to otherweekends.“While, on average, 3.6 people are killed
every day on Western Cape roads, this risesto an average of 6.2 people per day over payday weekends,” he says.Lastmonthwas theworstweekendrecord-
ed this year, with 26 fatalities over the week-end of 1 August.The following pay day weekend, which
started on 29 August, saw a further 20 peoplekilled, Grant confirms.He advises motorists, pedestrians and
road users to not become another statisticby taking the necessary precautions.
“Do not mix alcohol and road use. Drivingor walking on the roads while intoxicated isa quick way to an early grave. Use publictransport if you intend drinking alcohol,”Grant warns.If you are travelling in a vehicle, always
wear your seatbelt and never exceed thespeed limit, he continues.“Exercise extreme caution while driving
on Friday nights from 18:00 until midnight,on Saturdaymornings from 06:00 until 10:00,onSaturdaynights from18:00 until 04:00 [thefollowing morning] and on Sunday after-noons from 15:00 until 21:00.”Greater mobility and increased access to
alcohol are reflected in spikes in the deathrate over pay day weekends, Grant adds.“While further data analysis is required
to isolate all of the factors involved, the pub-lic are warned to please exercise extra cau-tion over this time.”

KENILWORTH
Joint ventureto keepstreet saferASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Establishing a street committee couldbe the answer to deter criminals fromtargeting Kenilworth properties.
While the street committee is still in theproposal stage, the main objective ofMcKinley Road residents is to create a hur-dle for would-be criminals.Jaime Niddrie, a resident, says although
the residents in the street are able to com-municate via Facebook, it is time for thenext step in securing their area.“I have been looking into potential street
security bymeans of bicycle patrols for ourstreet,” she says, adding it will only be pos-sible with the support of the community.“This will be a community-funded plan
whichwill need every resident in the streetagreeing and paying their bit. The moresupport we get the cheaper it will becomefor everyone,” she says.Niddrie says their main concerns are car
break-ins and attempted robberies inMcKinley Road.She says last week her partner’s car was
broken into and the perpetrators tried tosteal the car.During another incident Niddrie claims
a man’s car window was smashed and hisgirlfriend’s front light covers were re-moved from her car.“The followingmonth the sameman’s car
was stolen in front of the apartment com-plex where he lives,” she says.Niddrie says she is scared to park her car
in her own parking bay and says she sitsup at night thinking her car may be stolennext. “I cannot afford to pay for a new win-dow if they decide to target my car.”She says therehavebeenmanymore inci-
dents in the street, but Niddrie was unableto provide more detail.“The apartment complex closest to ours
has had people climbing over their fence.They have now boarded up their entire
fencewithwoodenplanks tokeep criminalsout,” she says.Another concern is trees being a hin-
drance to a pedestrian walkway.“It seems to be virtually impossible to
find someone to help us concerning thesetrees. We are desperate to get some sort ofsecurity up for our safety. It is proving im-possible,” she says.Louise Saunders, chairperson of one of
the apartment complexes in McKinleyRoad, says the block she lives in has no se-curity wall to protect residents.“Wearevulnerable in this situationaswe
become an easy target for potential burgla-ries and robberies. Passersby can easilylook into the property and escape thepremises if they succeed in a robbery orburglary at the apartment complex,” shesays.Saunders says they are in talks with pri-
vate security firms to establish a way for-ward in trying to deter criminals from en-tering the premises.“We need to find solutions to our own
problems.We cannot only rely on the policeto assist and protect us. If we want to livein an environmentwhich is secure and safewe need to take those steps to create thatfor ourselves,” she says.Saunders says the frequency of criminal
activity is of great concern to her. “We donot want to live in fear. It is unfair to livein constant fear that you may be the nextvictim of a robbery, hijack or burglary. Ihopewe are able to establish the street com-mittee to get everyone in the road commu-nicating. We need to start looking out forone another,” she says.Niddrie says the type of crime being com-
mittedneeds a constant presence. “I believethat our request for a bicycle patrol is a rea-sonable one,” she says.V Anyone interested in joining the or supporting thegroup can email Niddrie at [email protected] join the Facebook group McKinley Road Communi-ty.

RAILWAY
Stationspruce-upASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Commuters using Kenilworth stationshould be in for a pleasant surprise fol-lowing a major clean-up campaign.
Metrorail, in partnershipwith PassengerRail Agency of SA Corporate Real EstateSolutions (Prasa Cres) embarked on amaintenance repair campaign at Kenil-worth station to ensure it is clean and wel-coming for commuters.The clean-up campaign took place on
Thursday 25 September.Representatives from Metrorail, Prasa
Cres, Wynberg police, Wynberg Communi-ty Improvement District and the communi-ty gathered at the station for the launch.George Kiewiets of Metrorail explained
the importance of ensuring that the sta-tions arewellmaintained and that social is-sues with regard to homeless people sleep-ing at and using the station’s facilities areaddressed.“This campaign is vital as it brings peo-
ple from various parts of the community to-gether as we can each contribute our skillsand knowledge to make our stations safeand keep them clean,” he says.The campaign is part of a four-week pro-
grammewhere attention is given to electri-cal faults in the subways, as well as paint-ing over graffiti and the yellow lines on theplatform for safety reasons.Nomsa Kinsana, Prasa Cres facilities
manager for the region, says by involvingthe community in the campaign they areable to engage with them and find out what
the issues are with regard to the stations.“By involving the community they in re-
turn also take responsibility for their envi-ronment and the facilities in their environ-ment,” she says.One such enthusiastic and committed
resident is Gill Allderman.With assistance from a local business,
Allderman has taken it upon herself to getinvolved in beautifying the entrance of thestation.She received several pot plants and
plantswhich are all linedup at the entranceto the station. However, she says, not longafter they were planted some plants havealready been stolen.“The plants need to be watered and
looked after regularly and I have requestedthat someone from Metrorail or Prasa as-sistwith this task to ensure theseplants cangrow,” she says.Prasa Cres has agreed to assist by water-
ing the plants.Other issues experienced by commuters
are that of homeless people who live at thestation.Colonel Rufie Nel, of Wynberg Police Sta-
tion, says many of the homeless people usethe toilet facilities at station. They also hidetheir belongings on the property during theday, but they have not experienced anyma-jor problems with the homeless people.“We cannot force people to move, but if
they become a nuisance we speak to themand monitor the situation. Sometimeswhen they get confronted they move to an-other place, but usually return. All we cando is monitor them from time to time.”
MAINTENANCE: Volunteers from the Wynberg Improvement District assisted in repainting thesubways at Kenilworth station.
Call for humane slaughteringWith the annual Islamic celebration ofEid-ul-adha (Eid of Sacrifice) days away,guidelines for humane slaughtering havebeen issued. This is according to the Capeof Good Hope SPCA.The celebration takes place between

SOLAR ENERGY
‘Green’ powerdeal signedThe first small-scale embedded electric-
ity generation contract was signed bythe City of Cape Town and Black River
Park Investments.The office block in Observatory will lead
theway in the commercial real estate sectorbyutilising large-scale solar power systemsto generate environmentally sustainableenergy.They will be producing some of the elec-
tricity to meet their own consumption de-mands.Mayor Patricia de Lille says under the
terms of this contract, Black River Parkwill feed a limited amount of extra electrici-ty which they generate back into the City’selectricity grid and they will receive an off-set against their monthly electricity ac-counts.“They would do this over weekends for
example when the office park’s electricalload is reduced. The electricity which theysave will be fed back into the City’s grid,”she says.It is envisaged this will be the first of
many small-scale embedded generation(SSEG) installations to be connected to theCity’s grid.De Lille says theCity is hopeful the provi-
sion of such opportunities will help stimu-late the green economy by increasing de-mand for solar panels and other sources ofalternative energy. This will in turn helpcreate jobs in this sector.Black River Park’s solar project at the
74 000m² office park is the largest integrated
photovoltaic (PV) plant in Africa. The pan-els cover an area of 11 000 m², which is justover two full-sized rugby fields, and gener-ate between 20-30% of the complex’s elec-tricity requirements.“The Black River Park’s PV installation
has already saved around 1 300 tons of coalthrough the use of renewable energy,” shesays.It has produced around 1 368MW hours,
which is equivalent to keeping 157 CapeTown houses running for a year.This project also maintains the City’s po-
sition of being at the forefront of green initi-atives.The City has set itself a target of sourcing
10% of its electricity from renewable ener-gy resources by 2020 and the roll-out of thesmall-scale embedded generation tariff sup-ports this goal.De Lille says Cape Town has to contend
with the negative consequences of climatechange. “South Africa’s electricity genera-tion is notoriously environmentally un-friendly, as it relies to a great extent on theburning of coal,” she says.For every 1kW hour of grid electricity
consumed, 1kg of carbondioxide is releasedinto the atmosphere, De Lille explains.“Our over-reliance on fossil fuels for our
energy needs cannot continue unabated,andwe as a city need to do everything possi-ble to pursue alternative, cleaner sourcesof energy,” she continues.

BEE: prepare your businessCurrent Black Economic Em-powerment ruleswill fall away inthe new year.And, says a statement, compa-
nies hoping to qualify for themaximumnumber of BEE pointswill need to rethink their ap-proach.Akeychange involves anew fo-
cus on supplier development.Business mentor Roche Mam-
abolo looks at howentrepreneurscan prepare their business.As from 30 April 2015 the
amended B-BBEE codes come in-to effect. These new codes pro-vide a wealth of opportunitiesand greater access tomarkets forentrepreneurs.“But for many of the entrepre-
neurs we assist through our pro-grammes, capacity is the biggestconstraint they face,” says Mam-abolo.In many cases corporates have
not made use of small and medi-um enterprises (SMEs) becausethey don’t have the capacity todeliver the quantities that largeorganisations require, he says.So how can entrepreneurs pre-
pare? The first step is to ensureyou do your homework. Re-search the corporate you want toapproach. Howmuch do they tra-ditionally spend in your area?How can you get onto their sup-plier database?What sort of serv-ices – and howmuch – do they re-quire?For example, if your business
makes car seats and you want tosupply to a large carmanufactur-er, you first need to establishhowmany cars they produce a year –and therefore how many seatsyou’d need to be able to supply.You will also need to under-
stand their turnaround time andtechnical specifications, saysMamabolo.In addition you need to think
about your pricing and howyou’dmanage the administrativeand logistical aspects. How willyou deliver the goods? How willyou make sure you have enoughequipment and people to fulfil anorder?In short, you have to take a de-
tailed proposal to the corporate.You will also need to help themunderstand what they’d need todo to help you fulfil the capacitythey require. For example, beable to say: “For us to be yoursupplierwe’d need three newma-chines, four more staff membersand bigger premises. This is ourproposal with a detailed budget.”The corporates, in turn, need to
feel a level of comfort with you asthe supplier. To assure them youwill need to demonstrate thatthis is not a new endeavour foryou and that you are a seriousbusiness.While these B-BBEE changes
arenew to theSouthAfrican situ-ation similar approaches havebeen taken successfully in otherparts of the word.

Smoking out connectionsUp to R35m could be
saved by the City ofCape Town thanks to
a new smoke detectiontechnology system.
The method detects ille-gal stormwater and sewercross-connections.
Testing was conductedin various parts of the cityand under different condi-tions to determine the sys-tem’s efficacy last week,council officials say.
Mayoral Committeemember for Utility Servic-es Ernest Sonnenberg saysthe system is ready for usein detecting illegal dis-charges into the seweragesystem.
“The introduction of thesmoke testing technology is likely to resultin significant savings for ratepayers,” hesays.
The system involves pumping smoke intothe local sewerage system to locate inappro-priate stormwarter admissions into thesewerage system.
“Previously it was not possible to detector pinpoint where this was taking placewithout canvassing a large number of prop-erties. Now Water and Sanitation officialscan simply walk down the street and notethe location of these cross-connectionsbased on the presence of plumes of smoke,”Sonnenberg says.
If unsanctioned connections are foundthe property owners will be given a compli-ance order to rectify the matter within astipulated period.
Those who do not comply will be fined interms of the Wastewater Bylaw.
“Illegal connections are problematic be-
cause especially during wet weather excesswater can stretch the capacity of the waste-water conveyance systems. Not only canthis result in overflows, but the City’swastewater treatment plants are beingforced to process water that otherwiseshould not have been treated,” Sonnenbergexplains.
“Limiting the amount of water that is un-necessarily treated every year will improvethe quality of effluent that enters the envi-ronment. And not only will the environ-mental benefit be significant, but unpleas-ant overflows which could cause health is-sues and discomfort will also be limitedresulting in significant savings for ratepay-ers.”
Sonnenberg urges residents to cooperatewith officials who issue notices if contra-vention exists on their properties.
“It is only with your collaboration thatthis problem can be effectively tackled.”

Van der Linde forges aheadADRIAN PHEIFFER
In a hugely exciting first Engen Volkswa-gen Cup race during the penultimateround of the national Super Series at Kil-larney on Saturday, 15-year-old Sheldonvan der Linde moved up two places intofourth behind Daniel Rowe, Shaun la Re-servee and Dewald Brummer on the firstlap.Brummer then took over the lead until
he was passed by Rowe on the penultimatelap. Although Van der Linde could onlymanage third place, he was less than halfa second behind the winner when theycrossed the line. Behind them, there wereno “ladies first” concessions as AndreaBate and Tasmin Pepper battled it out be-fore finishing a meritorious sixth and sev-enth.Van der Linde made no mistake in the
second race that he (just), won from Brum-mer and Pepper. Masters Class leaderMat-thew Hodges did well to finish fourth over-all after putting his car on its side duringthe first race.John Fourie (Alcohol Killer BMW) in-
creased his points advantage in the firstheat of theBridgestoneProductionCar cat-egory when he saw off the Audi S4 threatposed by Hennie Groenewald (Sasol Rac-
ing), Michael Stephen (Engen Xtreme) andGennaro Bonafede (Sasol Racing).Stephen bounced back in the second race
that he won comfortably from Fourie andGavin Cronje in the second Alcohol KillerBeemer, with Simon Moss (Engen XtremeAudi S4) in fourth place.With unmistakable V8 sounds, flaming
exhausts and characters like Ben Morgen-rood and the rugged Roelf du Plessis at thewheel, theSports andGTeventsweremadefor the “when we” regulars. So it was onlyright that Ben should win the first one, al-though his Mustang was relegated to thirdin the second.The Jaguar XKR’s of Mackie Adlem and
Franco di Matteo were second and third inthe first and first and second (but in the re-verse order), in the second. Alan Eve wasthe leading sports car driver in both races.Robert Wolk and Nicholas van Weely
won one each and shared the honours inthe single-seater Formula Volkswagen cat-egory. Scott Temple and Kegan Camposachieved the same results in the FormulaF1600 class.TheMidas Clubman class victories went
to A: Danie van Niekerk (BMW 325), B:John Kirsten (VW Polo); C: Alex Johnson(Audi quattro); D: Basie Burger (VW Golf1); E: Rick Kloppers (Ford Escort); and F:
