ROAD SAFETY
An accident waitingNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Speeding cars and heavy congestionhave Salt River parents fearing for thesafety of their children.
This as the Salt River Ratepayers’ Associ-ation calls for traffic officers to be on dutyto help escort pupils across busy roads.
Association chairperson Warda Rahimsays pupils are often left to dash throughheavy traffic on Albert Road in an attemptto reach the train station. A number of pu-pils also have to cross Durham Road on theirway to and from school, she says.
“This is dangerous for the children as of-
ten traffic does not stop at pedestrian cross-ings,” she says.
A traffic officer used to be assigned to SaltRiver to help pupils cross Albert Road, buthe was reassigned, Rahim says.
Colin Jooste, Dryden Street Primary gov-erning body spokesperson, says pupil safetyis a great concern.
“There are a number of pupils who travelfrom areas such a Khayelitsha, Nyanga,Langa, Gugulethu and Philippi on publictransport,” he says. “It’s a genuine concernas there are not always even demarcatedareas for crossing.”
On Victoria Road, pupils are often left tododge buses, taxis and cars as they attempt
to cross in peak-hour traffic, Jooste says.And many of the streets around Salt River
schools have no traffic-calming measures,he says.
Jooste believes more visable policingwould go a long way to slowing down speed-sters and keeping pupils safe.
“Just having a traffic car parked in thearea makes a huge difference,” he says.
He urges for action to be taken.“We shouldn’t wait until an accident hap-
pens before we do something,” he says.However, Richard Bosman, safety and se-
curity executive director, says there is noneed for a part-time traffic attendant asthere are safe crossings in the area.
“Part-time traffic attendants are em-ployed across the city to assist scholars tocross at busy and dangerous intersections.There are three signalised traffic lights inthe area, thus a dedicated officer is notdeemed necessary,” he says.
There are currently 135 part-time trafficattendants in the metro and the City has ap-plied to employ more, Bosman says.
“If funds become available, traffic servi-ces assesses each application and then em-ploys a part-time traffic attendant based onthese merits. Traffic services appeals to pe-destrians to exercise caution and to onlycross the road at a traffic light and when thepedestrian signal is displayed,” he adds.
Children running across busy streets on theirway to and from school requires more trafficenforcement, Salt River ratepayers say.

LIBRARY HALL
Shh . . . no weddingsin the library pleaseMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Literary teas, community-based activities and otherevents are often held in li-
brary halls.But due to inconsistency in
which events are permitted inthese halls, the City of Cape Townhas proposed a new draft policy.The draft Library Hall Usage
Policy is currently open for publicparticipationandCapetonians arebeing encouraged to have theirsay.
UseAccording to the policy these
halls are primarily for activitiesorganised by library staff.However, they are also rented to
the public or made available freeof charge. In addition, businessesare able to hire hall facilities fora fee.Belinda Walker, City mayoral
committee member for communi-ty services and special projects,says some halls are used morethan others and this is dependenton various factors. “Our Central,Milnerton, Bellville and SomersetWest library halls are some of themost well-used facilities.”
ProblemThe policy proposal describes
how the current lack of a policy isthe main contributor to inconsist-ent decision-making and disagree-ments with individuals andgroups wishing to make use of thehalls.
“In addition, this lack of clearpolicy directive results in hallsnot being optimally used or man-aged,” it reads.Walker saysmany of these prob-
lems stem from the time when in-dividual municipalities had theirown rules and regulations whichgoverned the use of library halls.“This policy will ensure that
there is a consistent approach tothe hiring out of library halls,”she explains.
ActivitiesWalker says while the halls are
primarily for library activities,theymaybeused for other purpos-es, except for social, religious orpolitical purposes.She explains the primary pur-
pose of these halls is to host com-munity-based activities and pro-grammes that complement theservices offered by the library.“For example,manyhalls areusedas training venues and supportthe library’s goal of encouraginglifelong learning. The library andinformation services departmentwould like to prioritise this kindof use.”She further explains these halls
are often linked to and accessedthrough the library andarenot de-signed for large gatherings orevents such as weddings.“A library is a space that is
there for everyone, regardless ofrace, creed or religious or politicalaffiliation.“We would like to ensure that it
is as inclusive a space as possi-ble,” she adds.
TariffThe policy also stipulates strict
guidelines regarding payment forthe use of these halls.Community organisations and
individuals using the hall for com-munity or cultural events will beallowed to use it for free. In addi-tion, councillorsmay use the hallstwice per month for free for feed-back meetings.However, use of the hallmust be
paid for when used for business orcommercial purposes. A tariff isalso charged when a non-profit or-ganisation charges the public toattend their event in a hall.Walker says the price will de-
pend on the annual tariff struc-ture.“When applying for the use of
the library hall, the organisationhas to state the purpose of use.Based on this, the hiring of thehallwould either be tariff-based ordeemed a community organisa-tion use and therefore free usagewould apply.”
CommentThe draft policy is open for com-
ments until Thursday 30 April.After this date thedepartmentwillconsider each of the comments re-ceived and amend the policy.“The amended policy is then
submitted to the community ser-vices portfolio committee andthen recommended to the mayorand onward to council,” she says.V The draft policy is available at librariesand on www.capetown.gov.za. To comment, email libraryhall.policy@capetown.gov.za or fax 086 576 1398.

Site not on the curriculumNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A vacant plot has been flagged as a dan-ger to Trafalgar High School pupils.The site,whichhouses over 30 street
people, has been linked to drug-dealing anddumping.School principal Nadeem Hendricks says
there have been street people living on thesite –which is apparently owned by the pro-vincial public works department – foryears, but the addition of new dwellers hasseen refuse piling up on the site.School pupils have also been caught buy-
ing drugs on the site, he says.Nicola Jowell, Cape Town Community
Police Forum chairperson, says the organi-sation receives “numerous and continu-ous” complaints about the informal settle-ment.The plot is the source of much rubbish
and grime in the area, Jowell says.“This squatter camp backs directly onto
a school – with children having their snackand lunch breaks next to an area thatshould be considered derelict and perhapshas numerous health hazards,” she says.Police intervention has led to the discov-
ery of stolen property and arrests of wantedsuspects, Jowell says.“There are also allegations that drugs are
used as well as sold from this space,” shesays.In addition, petty crime in the lower area
of Devils Peak neighbourhood could be a re-sult of its proximity to the squatter camp,Jowell says.“However we need to be extremely mind-
ful of the fact that poverty does not equatecriminality,” she cautions.Edward Oosthuizen, who has been living
on the property for two years, says thedwellers have chosen to live on the site be-
cause they do not disturb anyone there.However, he says the dwellers are not
criminals.“Some of use come from a criminal back-
ground, but we’re no longer involved incrime,” he says.“There are pupils from the school that
come here to smoke drugs, but we don’t sellit to them.We feel it is not our place to chasethem away.”Oosthuizen says thedwellers alsoattempt
to minimise the refuse on the site by creat-ing a small landfill in a corner of the proper-ty where they bury refuse.Both Jowell and Hendricks are looking to
the publicworks department to cleanup thesite.“All efforts to make a positive change are
really hampered entirely by the fact that webelieve that this land is owned by the de-partment. It has hampered all the efforts byso many to prevent the establishments ofsquatter camps and to rather assist thoseliving there to have more sustainable op-tions,” she insists.Thedepartmenthadnot responded toPeo-
ple’s Post at the time of going to print.Jowell would “love to see this land put to
positive use”.“There exists such an opportunity for the
land to be given to the school to manage toincrease the outdoor recreation area, devel-op a school garden or grow vegetables,” shesays.However,Hendricks sayshehasbeen told
by the department that it will manage theland, leaving little he can do to clean the sitebesides liaising with those living on it.“I’ve spoken to everyagent I canabout the
property. I really don’t have a problemwiththe homeless people living there, but theplot is filthy and we believe drugs are beingsold there,” he says. “This is a school, andI must protect my pupils.”

CHILDREN
‘Don’t walk alone’NICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
“Don’t scream. Don’t shout. Just getin the car.”
These are the words that sentchills down a Maitland girl’s spine on herwalk to school recently.
Along Jessica’s* regular route to HolyCross, a black Mercedes with tinted win-dows pulled up next to her.
The driver slowed the car to the speed shewas walking and rolled down one of the tint-ed windows to speak to her.
“Don’t you want to get into my car? Tobe my friend?” he asked.
Jessica said no, to which the man offeredto buy her airtime.
When she declined that, he ordered herinto the car.
“He made a U-turn and I took my chanceand started running. As I turned a corner,he also turned it and started chasing me,”she says.
She ducked around another corner andmanaged to lose the vehicle.
Maitland Community Police Forumspokesperson Graham Daniels confirmsthe incident.
“There have been reports of a black car,a Mercedes Kompressor, in the area tryingto lure children. The Maitland Neighbour-hood Watch was notified of this after ayoung girl was being lured into the car withthe promise of airtime. The NeighbourhoodWatch members responded to the incident,but the vehicle could not be seen,” he says.
The vehicle was also seen in Kensingtonnear a school, Daniels says.
The driver has reportedly been seen inTable View as well, although this could notbe confirmed at the time of going to print.
Parents have now been warned to keepa close eye for predators targeting children.
Daniels warns that children should never
walk to school alone and are safer ingroups. He also suggests establishing dedi-cated routes that children must walk so thatparents know where they are.
Daniels is also calling on the communityto be extra vigilant during the times chil-dren are walking to and from school. “Keepan eye on these routes for any suspiciousvehicles,” he says.
Last year a Kensington primary schoolchild was nearly abducted after a man triedto lure a young girl into his car, saying hermother had asked him to fetch her.
The Kenmere pupil was waiting for hertaxi after school and reported the incidentto the driver. Attempts to find the suspectwere unsuccessful (“Stranger danger re-surfaces”, People’s Post, 8 July 2014).
Safety of pupils become challenging dur-ing their commute to school, says educationdepartment spokesperson Jessica Shelver,as the department cannot take sole respon-sibility for the safety of pupils, especiallywhen they are outside the school grounds.
Parents need to teach their children notto approach unknown vehicles, she says.
“Explain to your children that a strangeris someone you hardly know or do not knowat all.
“People whom they see frequently intheir neighbourhood or community, but donot know, may be just as much a strangeras someone they have never met before orhave never seen.”
Jessica attempted to report the incident,but says she was told there was nothing thepolice could do as she had not been injured.Maitland police had not responded to Peo-ple’s Post at the time of going to print.
But the incident has left Jessica shaken.“I’ve stopped walking to the shops or to
friends, and my parents drive me to schoolnow,” she says.
“If I see that man again I’ll know him im-mediately. It’s a face I’ll never forget.”

What message are we sending our children, whenthe top cop in the province is suspended aftercharges of corruption are levelled at him?
Western Cape police commissioner Arno Lamoer andthree senior officers have been suspended and face 109counts, including corruption, money laundering andracketeering, with a Cape businessman.These are officers who, filling the highest policing po-sition in the province, should be beyond reproach – tothe extent that a parking ticket could not be held to theirnames.Yet daily we are faced with stories about police offi-cers flouting the law – The very men and women whoare meant to protect us committing crimes and endan-gering others. What happened to the days when becom-ing a police officer was an honour, a calling for only thebravest and most trustworthy?Perhaps it has seeped in from our society, wherebreaking the law is so widespread it has become thenorm.How often do we think nothing of jaywalking, drivingafter drinking or keeping money found on the street?We turn a blind eye to drug dealing and gangsterism,quick to pull our curtains closed or avert our faces.We should not only hold our police officers account-able, reporting their failures to uphold the law, but alsoour community members, friends and family.We can only partially blame an officer for acceptinga bribe when we are at fault for putting the temptationin front of himorher.Weneed to start building a cultureof law-abiding citizenship in our homes. If each childis raised to do the right thing, we will have created notonly a generation of dependable police officers, but alsomembers of public who will hold them accountable.The fight against corruption lies with each and everoneofus.Not only shouldwehold corrupt police officersaccountable,we should also ensure thatwedonot createan environment in which corruption is possible.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
No ‘top’ cop
Your SMSesGeneral. South Africans, be peaceful with eachother and have respect for one anotherno matter the race or color. Love eachother. May He bless us as a nation,becasue without respect we have nothing.Let’s start practising this, to love ourfellow Africans.We are all people created by God, so loveone another.
. People are leaving the country not onlyin fear of their safety, but also due topolice ignorance. What happened to“serve and protect”?. The person who supplies the weapon isregarded as an accomplice to the crime.Why can’t the same apply to a personwho supplies drugs? Criminals pleadthey were under the influence of drugs,but the supplier never has a day incourt..We are not safe anywhere, gangs arekeeping the community hostage. We doeverything we can to be safe, but if acoward gangster wants something,nothing’s going to stop him.

Foreshore, the exhibition includes the cov-eted “Silver Fez” – the trophy awarded to thewinning choir.The exhibition comprises photos taken
over the years by photographer Yunus Mo-hamedand floats created bydifferent choirs.The floats started out as vehicles in the
1960s, explains YoungMen choir master Ab-duraghmaan Morris. When the competi-tions moved to the Athlone stadium thechoirs started making mini-floats whichstood on tables. The detailed floats depict arange of scenes, from the Adderley Streetflower sellers to labourers on wine farms.Cape Malay choirs have been in existence

Woodstock Day Centre winsDedication and being passionate abouttheir job have paid off for the staff at theWoodstock Community Day Centre(CDC), who recently received an awardfor outstanding customer service.They won a R60 000 cash prize from the
C²AIR² Competition, implemented by theWestern Cape health department lastyear as an internal service delivery prize.The aim of the competition is to improvecustomer experience through the actionsof employees. Woodstock competedagainst twelve CDCs, and shared its firstprize with Worcester CDC.Sr Annette Neethling, Woodstock CDC
facility manager, says the CDC won theaward by living the department’s valuesof caring, competence, accountability, in-tegrity, responsiveness and respect.“To ensure that we took the first prize,
monthly evidence of my team living thevalues had to be submitted to earnpoints,” she says.Woodstock CDCwent the extramile for
its staff by focusing on team building andboosting staff morale, which in turn hada positive effect for the 10 000 communitymembers the clinic caters for on amonth-
ly basis.Community member Christopher Do-
nald, a 61 year oldwho has used the clinicfor eight years, says he is impressed withthe “efficient and friendly service” at theclinic.“The facility manager and staff value
my input and even remember my name.They are doing a sterling job,” he says.The competition promotes team build-
ing and shifts staff behaviour, which inturn allows a more positive patient-cen-tred approach, says health departmentspokesperson Monique Johnstone.To commence the next competition,
which kicks off in May, Woodstock CDCis brainstorming ideas to improve its cur-rent customer service delivery system inorder to stay on top of its game and theleader board.“To show our appreciation to the com-
munity, we will be encouraging commu-nitymembers to assist us in providing in-put on how we can best use the R60 000at the facility,” says Neethling.V Woodstock CDC is currently planning a community C²AIR² thanksgiving celebration on Friday at10:00.

LAND CLAIMS
Gov comes to youNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Restitution will be travelling the coun-try in the form of four mobile landclaims offices.
This as the rural development and land re-form department launched the speciallyequipped vehicles fitted with technology toprocess applications for land clams on site.Four buses and two all-terrain 4 x 4 trucks
will be deployed to various communitiesover the next fours, in an effort to improveaccess for those individuals and communi-ties wishing to lodge land claims in rural ar-eas.Gugile Nkwinti, rural development and
land reform minister, unveiled the mobilelodgement offices on Tuesday last week.“Following the cut-off date for the lodge-
ment of land claims, it became evident thatmany individuals and communities whichqualified to lodge claims did not do so. Oneof thekey issueshighlightedbyvarious com-munities was that they did not lodge their
land claims before the cut-off date becausethey were not aware of the programme,” theminister says in a statement.The buses will travel through theWestern
Cape in August. They will follow nine com-munications vehicles which will be usedfirst to inform the community beforehandabout who is eligible to lodge a claim andwhat documentation is necessary.Each mobile office is also fully accessible
to accommodate disabled claimants.Khoi San representative and administra-
tor for the Korana king, Belinda Petersen,says the venture will bring the departmentto the community.“Often people don’t have transport money
or don’t understand what documentation isneeded to lodge a claim.Now the departmentis coming to your house where you have ac-cess to everything you need,” she says.“We are moving forward and it’s a step in
the right direction.”Around 54 500 claims have been lodged
with the Land Claims Commission since theprocess was opened in July last year.
Gugile Nkwinti,rural develop-ment and landreformminister, andJeff Radebe,minister in thepresidency, cutthe ribbon onthe firstmobile landclaims office.

THEATRE
New works onMagnet stageThe Magnet Theatre in Observatory will
presentUvuno: The harvest,which fea-tures three brand new works and an
exhibition of a professional stage designproject, from tomorrow.
The programme has been developed withthe three expanded public works program-me (EPWP) interns who have been with thetheatre since August after completing theirfull-time training and job-creating pro-gramme in 2013.
Design for all three productions is by Asi-phe Lili, while Themba Stewart and ThandoDoni take care of the lighting.
First on the bill is Purpose, written andperformed by Lwanda Sindaphi.
The metaphysical world meets the physi-cal in this piece and when this clash takesplace a dramatic transition changes the lifeof a young man who is denied the freedomof love.Inkanuko explores different aspects of mi-
gration, whether it be personal or physical,through dance.
Themba and Thando step in as choreogra-phers here with input from Mbovu Malinga.
Inkanuko will be performed by SiphenathiMayekiso.On the run has been written and will be
performed by Sivuyile Dunjwa, who alsohelps with the design for this piece.
Sivuyile tells the painful story of a youngman who loves cars and dreams of owninghis own until one day he does the unspeaka-ble. On the run is a story about growing upin the townships, about poverty and howscarcity can lead to unexpected results.
Asiphe Lili’s set and costume designs forThe black hermit will be exhibited in thefoyer.
Asiphe chose Kenyan author Ngugi waThiong’o’s The black hermit to create setand costume designs for an imagined pro-duction. She has created designs for a pro-duction without the instruction of a direc-tor, that is close to home and that speaks toher as a young African woman.V Uvuno: The harvest will be on at The Magnet Theatre from tomorrow to Saturday. Tickets cost R50 fromwww.webtickets.co.za or R30 for block bookings of10 or more on 021 448 3436. Visit www.magnettheater.com for more information.

Learners fromHoly Cross High School inMaitland and Lavender Hill HighSchool in Retreat will soon be experi-
encing the adrenalin rush of a triathlon asthey team up to compete in a relay event atthis year’s Discovery World Triathlon inCape Town.As part of the Virgin Active Future Crew
Triathlon teamthesenine learners – agedbe-tween 15 and 18 – will be doing what they dobest of in three sport disciplines – swim-ming, running and cycling – on a slightlyshorter course than the full triathlon, but atthe same time as theworld’s best triathletes.The tri-team will tackle a “sprint” dis-
tance: A 500m swim, 20km cycle and 5kmrun.The tri-team received an unexpected sur-
prise during a recent training session whenRichard Murray, South Africa’s top triath-lete and ranked 6th internationally, poppedby to give themwords of encouragement andsome race day tips.All of the learners were selected for their
passion for the sport, their commitment totraining and their leadership potential. Al-though a triathlon is a fairly new sportingdiscipline at school level, theywere all unan-imous in their excitement to be a part of thisprestigious international event.“Both these schools have phenomenal
leaders in headmaster Faseeg Manie of Lav-ender Hill and sports coach Randal Arendseat Holy Cross High and the learners’ partici-pation in the race is a tribute to the workthey are doing to uplift their learners andto encourage them to strive to achieve great-er things in their lives,” saidMelody Arend-
se of Virgin Active.Murray’s advice to the team was wel-
comed as he calmed nerves, especiallyaround the sea swim, which can be daunt-ing, and the quick transition between the re-lay elements.“By giving these youngsters the chance to
interact with a professional athlete such asRichard Murray, we hope to show them the
potential of the sport and how, by beingwill-ing to tackle challenges sporting or other-wise, they can determine their future,” saysArendse.The second Discovery World Triathlon
Cape Town is on Saturday and Sunday, withthe finish at the new Green Point AthleticsStadium.The route incorporates a swim outside
Quay 6 at theV&AWaterfront, a cycle on themain roads through Mouille and GreenPoint and the run taking in the Green PointUrban Park. Around 130 elite (professional)triathletes from 80 countries are expected toparticipate in the full triathlonwhich is partof the ITU World Series.For more information visit http://wts.tri-

ceive R10 000 worth of sports equipment anda physical education package worth R40 000.Let’s Play coaching teams will target vari-
ous schools per day to run the physical edu-cation challenge. The fittest learners perschool will compete, after which the top 10schools per provincewill qualify for the pro-vincial semi-final, leading to an overall pro-vincial winner.The final will take place on Let’s Play’s
