Hoors | Hearsay Verjaarsdagwens word waar!Devidean Moses

VANDAG kan ek net die Here dankvirmydroomwatnaaldie jarewaargeword het, het Seleku JamesXontana Dinsdag ges.

Hyhet verlede jaar, toehysy101steverjaarsdag in n opslaanhuis gevierhet, gewens dat hy n eie huis kan be-sit.

Hierdie week was dit een van 13 in-woners wat met groot blydskap diesleutels van hul splinternuwe huiseontvang het in die Drommedaris-be-huisingsprojek.

Meeras1000huisegaanoordievol-gende twee jaar daar opgerig word en53 gesinne het reeds hul sleutels ont-vang die afgelope paar weke.

Die Wes-Kaapse minister vanmenslike nedersettings, BonginkosiMadikizela, en Gesie van Deventer,Drakenstein burgemeester, het Dins-dag aan die begunstigdes hul sleutelsoorhandig.

Die projek is geloods om die begun-stigdes wat langs die spoorweg, inhostelle en in agterplase gewoon het,te akkommodeer.

Bouwerk het in Desember begin en211huise is reedsvoltooi.Daarsal la-ter ook skakelhuise en woonstelblok-ke verrys. Die totale begroting vir dieontwikkeling is R114 miljoen.

Xontana wat in 1940 vanaf Klip-piesdalgebied in Paarl-Oos na Mbe-kweni verhuis het, het vroer jare bydie kontrakteur gewerk wat die Huge-notetonnel gebou het.

Hy het later by Sasko gewerk, en inn hostel gewoon.

Toe die hostelle onderverdeel is, hethy sy blyplek verloor en was gedwingom in n opslaanhuis te gaan bly.

Hy is sedert 1992 op diemunisipalebehuisingswaglys.

Robbers go onshooting rampageLise Beyers

ONE man was injured and many otherlives threatened, when a robber went ona shooting rampage.

This incident tookplace lastweekduringarobberyatashopbelongingtoaSomalianin Adams Street, Klapmuts.

Here four suspects arrived in a white Kiacar. One of the suspects got out, enteredthe shop and shot the Somalian owner inthe back at close range.

Theinjuredmanmanagedtofleeoutside,on which his assailant followed him, firingoff several shots in the process.

Klapmuts police station commander,CaptFaith deKlerk, said that it is amiraclethat more people were not injured as therewere many people, as well as children, inthe vicinity.

While the suspect was on his shootingspree, the other suspects ransacked theshop, stealing money, cellphone airtimeand cigarettes. They then all fled the scenein their vehicle.

No arrests have been made.A day later, a 23-year-old Somalian man

was also shot by armed robbers.

This occurred when four men tried togainaccesstoacontainershopinChrisHa-ni, Mbekweni.

When the owner of the shop refused tolet then in, one of the men fired variousshots with a handgun, striking the Somali-an twice in the leg.

All four men then fled on foot.Mbekweni police spokesperson, const L

Mqakelana, said that these suspects canpossibly be linked to other robbery casesin Mbekweni whereby firearms were used.

Anyone with information can contactWO. Abel Swartz at 021 868 9926 or 076457 1287.

Police are also investigating similaritiesbetween these attacks and an armed rob-bery at a shop in Groenheuwel recently,during which the Pakistani shop-ownerwas killed.

People want speed bumps,lighting, homesAnne Kruger

PEOPLEinDrakensteinwantspeedbumpsandbet-ter street lighting.

Thisbecameclear at the recentmunicipal roadshowmeeting in the Paarl town hall last week, attended byabout 200 people.

Feedback on the draft budget was given, and wardcouncillors reported back on their expenditure duringthe past year.

The most common requests for funding reported byward councillors throughout the municipal area wasfor traffic calming measures like speed bumps, as wellas improved street lighting, sidewalks and parks.

Another issue was better access to buildings for dis-abled people.

A number of residents raised questions from thefloor,especiallyfarmworkersfromSimondiumandAg-ter Paarl. They complained about living conditions onfarms, including poor water supply and sanitation.

Deputy Mayor Conrad Poole explained that the Mu-nicipality had no control over private landowners, butthat a task team had been launched to negotiate withfarmers, and to ensure that subsidies available for im-proved sanitation and water supply were accessed.

We wish to empower rural residents. Although wecannot force landowners to co-operate, we attempt tomediate.

We encourage farm workers who have poor waterqualityandsanitation, toapproachtheirwardcouncil-lor who will alert the authorities to address their pro-blems.

Rural residents must also ensure that they are onthe municipal housing waiting list as a percentage ofnewhousingprojects is earmarked for rural residents.

We are also currently investigating the purchase ofland in the Simondium area, where we can accommo-date people who have been evicted from farms.

Oncewehaveobtained land,wewill thenassist the-se people to access land grants from the Departmentof Land Affairs to build their houses.

Expenditure of ward funds varied from upgradingof schoolgrounds for sports activities in rural areas,to installation of computer centres and holiday activi-ties for youngsters, to Clean and Green refuse remo-val activities, first aid training and assistance to oldage home.

In some areas, containers have been placed wheresoup kitchen and small shops can be run.

Another project is the training of local residents toimprove their gardening skills, thus enhancing theirability to find work.

Beware at ATMsTHE public is being warned by Paarl Eastpolice to be extremely vigilant when usingATM machines.

This comes after a cloning device wasfound at the SuperSpar shopping centre inVan der Stel Street.

This device was allegedly dropped by afraudster when police received a complaintfrom the public.

Aspokespersonforthepolicesaidthatnu-merous people have become victims of thiscrime lately.

It seems that the fraudsters insert objectsinto the card slot on the ATM, and when theunsuspecting user inserts a card, it getsstuck in the machine.

Thefraudsterwilltheninnocentlyofferhishelp,andbeforehisvictimrealiseswhathashappened, the card has been copied on ahand-held device.

The fraudster is almost instantly able toduplicate thecard,andwiththepinnumberin his possession after the victim haspunched it in, then draws as much moneyas he can. These fraudulent events usuallyoccur after hours, when banks are closed.

The public is advised never to let anybodyassist thematanATM,exceptanaccreditedbank employee.

It is also advisable for them not to drawmoney in deserted areas late at night and torather have an acquaintance at hand forsafety.

Wellington is a declining residential dumpI SETTLED in Wellington ap-proximately two months ago what disillusionment. Not onlydidImoveinduringanunbeara-ble (annual) heat-wave, the pla-cestruckmeasthe forgottense-at of civilisation.

I am encountering severalnightmares here, being, firstand foremost, the uncontrolledhordes of drunkards havingpermanently occupied the topsection of the main road, bothsides being used for drinking,eating,urinating,living,fightingand meeting.

While the usage of the pave-ments are confused with that ofroads, they are often narrowlymissed by perpetually speedingvehicles.

Another nightmare is the4x4s which seem to make out90%of the local vehicularpopu-lation.

Most roads, mainly the Mainand Stokery, are being used ashometown Killarneys.

Massive trucks rumble back-wards and forwards 24 hoursper day and totally oblivious tothe noise and clouds of dustwhich engulf the neighbour-hoodwhichremainsundercon-stant siege of careless profit-making.

Theconditionof theroads,ge-nerally, are beyond poor andgrass struggles to grow.

Residentialdevelopmentsha-ve been effected in certain areasnot suitable for housing and re-sidential purposes, I believe.

The searing heat turns yourhouse into a sauna and sleep-ing,asaresult, ispractically im-possible (trees would make anenormous difference).

More aggravation is added byclouds of mosquitoes. One hasto practically sneak in and outof your house while never beingable to open windows and doors

for freshair -all this in themidstof excessive amounts of dustand a multitude of omnipresentcreeping and flying insects.

Ants, in unstoppable hordes,crawl all over the house, my bo-dy, bedding etc.

The Municipality governs inundemocratic fashion, makeslotsoferrors,remainunaccoun-table, and unilaterally raise de-bits by reprogramming the elec-tricity pre-payment system.

No correspondence is enteredinto and lawyers are appointedat the drop of a hat to furtherbleed the tax-payer for the in-competence and mistakes.

I have visited a pay camp-siteatthefootofBainsKloofanden-quired whether there had beenanoutbreakofwarduetothene-ar total destruction of the place.

Nowonder theplay-parknearmy house is deserted as it onlyserves as a small monument tothe rapid development of a fullyblown residential dump, whilechildren are robbed of their na-tural outdoor activity and inha-bitants robbed of their peacefuland reasonably rights to a com-fortable existence.

Buildingsaredilapidatedandoverflowing sewerage stencheshang in the air, break-ins arerampant (I suffered one), andgrowing rubbish dumps springup like the mushrooms all overthe place.

There is not a clean street in

Wellington.The shops, deliberately and

intentionally, sell their fair sha-re of rotten or spoilt products,recourse is a challenge and, atgreat cost and persistent with alistless health department, onehas to access the law at greatcost for remedies.

To submit a complaint to theWinelands Health Departmentserves no purpose as, it appe-ars, they have total disinterestin this crumbling town.

In the street where the courtand other businesses are situa-ted,onewouldestimate thatap-proximately a thousand peopleper day would frequent thatarea. Yet provision for parkinghas only been made for approx-imately 20-25 vehicles.

Naturally, this is totally insuf-ficient to cater for the volumesof traffic and visitors, which, ineffect, is abused for the purposeof the issue of parking tickets,which, at least, is a sign that asmall section of the MunicipalManagement is still operative that of further bleeding the tax-payer.

I amaware that theonly signsof apparent active local gover-nanceandpoorleadershiprearsitself in never-ending mudslin-ging sessions occasioned bet-ween the ANC and the DA, neit-her of them in a state fit to pro-perly govern this little backdorp extension of Paarl.

How are taxes justified insuch a dump? I believe that aPest Control business wouldflourish here.

Thereisnoremedy,andI,pro-bablylikeothers,havelostthou-sands of rands in a sad miscal-culation of an investment op-portunity.

THE handover of new homes in the Drommedaris housing project isawelcomeevent-notonlyfortheoldestbeneficiary,101-year-oldSele-ku Xontana, but for all beneficiaries in line to receive houses in thishuge project, and for all of Paarl.

This project has taken ten years to get off the ground and has beenfraught with administrative delays.

The residents of Paarl have watched apalled over the years at theslowprogresswith this importantproject,whichwastoprovidehomesto thousands of people currently living in shacks.

Among the reasons cited, were that the wrong person had beenappointed as empowerment partner, and thus the original contractorwas booted of the contract.

The delays led to a land invasion last year, when beneficiaries whosawnoprogress, decided to claim their sites.Carefulnegotiationsma-naged to bring an end to this impasse, so that work could continue.

The speed with which the project is being executed under the newtowncouncil, keepsalive thehope thatbureaucracy isgetting thebootin Drakenstein - especially as far as housing projects are concerned.

EK moes al verskeie aanpas-sings maak om tred te hou metveranderde omstandighede.

Moeilikste was die onderwer-ping aan dooie goed wat niks virhulself kan doen of iets tot standbring nie.

n Piepgeluid vir n effe pap bat-tery, maar eis onmiddellike aan-dag indien dit nie dadelik gekon-nekteer word nie. Hierdie keer indie volume-trant van n vloer-moer-kindjie.

Neffens Eliza staan die druk-ker. Onthutsend die aanskakel-geluid. Redelik beskaafd alle pro-grammetotdatnpaperjamont-staan - dan is dit flitsende liggiesen dreigboodskappe op dieskermpie.

Ek durf geen apparatuur se ge-luid ignoreernie.Stilstuipe isdanmy voorland. Baie erger as nmens met stilstuipe, is di dooie-

voorwaardelik: ek mt dit op myeie bemeester. n Pynlike erva-ring. Naamgenoot programmeerdit so: n Babatjie lag wanneer nSMS deurkom. n Onnoembaregeluid wanneer een suksesvol af-gelewer is. Die wekker gil in haardogtertjiestem: Oum wordwakker!

Soms skree die foon n opdragwat ek glad nie begryp nie, maarswyg gelukkig na 2 probeerslae.

Die landlyntelefoon ontwikkeln onverklaarbare en n onom-keerbare skeet. n Alarm gaanenige tyd af en stop op sy eie tyd.

Ek wil dan skree soos n mananderdag in Kerkstraat, toe nmotoralarm afgaan en niemandreageer nie: Hei djy, hou nou nslag djou bek man. My ore is seergeskrie en djy sien alles help nik-sie!

Net Engels?IN die Paarl Post van 19 Aprilis n brief geplaas van n seke-re mnr Cloete rakende die OuPaarl/Klapmutspad. Sy briefwas in Afrikaans en vind ekdit vreemd dat mnr Riaan Vi-viers van UWP se reaksie in-Engels is.

n Mens verwag dat hy dienodige respek aan die brief-skrywer sou toon en die briefin Afrikaans beantwoord.

Ek vind dit n skending vandie briefskrywer se reg op sytaalvoorkeur en ook n totalemiskenning van sy regte.

Ek verneem graag of ditUWP se beleid is

Paarl Mall moet plan maakDIE bestuur van Paarl Mallhetgeenontsagmetverbrui-kers nie.

Ek het Saterdag die Mallbesoek en wou buite vir myman wag. Daar is geen ban-ke nie.

Toe ek die sekuriteitswagvra waar die banke is, wordek ges dat daar nie bankebuite is nie. Mense moet hulinkopies doen en huis toegaan.

Eks toevirhom,maarekwag vir iemand - die ant-woord is jy moet binne wag.

Selfs binne in die winkel-sentrumskitterdiebanke in

hul afwesigheid.Die banke by Dischem bly

vol. Wat van ons bejaardes,mensewatsiekisofliggaam-likegebrekehet ennie soverkan loop op n slag nie. Moethulle nou maar eerder tuisbly?

Toe die Mall oopgemaakhet, was daar ook n grootstorie oor die gebrek aanbanke en die Mallbestuurhet ges daar was n pro-bleem met die verskaffer.Nou, jare later is die situasienog erger. Watg gaan aan?

Kind van die berge stap steedsLise Beyers

DIS my berge daai, s Katrin Steytler assy uitkyk oor die Drakensteinberge.

Dis juis hier, byna in die berge, waar sygrootgeword het op Saffier-plaas in KleinDrakenstein saam met haar pa, die bekendeplaaslike skrywer WA de Klerk.

Naweke isdaarberggeklimsaammethaarbroer DP en suster Jean, want haar pa wasn toegewyde bergklimmer.

Hyhetvirhullealdiegeheimevandiebergeleer ken en tot vandag toe vind Katrin haardikwels tussendiekranseassy toevlugsoek.

Nie net dit nie, maar De Klerk het n passiegehad vir die geskiedenis van Daljosafat.

So het Katrin grootgeword met haar sielvasgepen in die vallei.

Ast ware is hierdie vallei die geboorteplekvanAfrikaans,metKleinboschAugustawaardieHugenoteGedenkskoolbeginisasdieeer-ste Afrikaanse skool in die land. My pa wasgefassineer deur hierdie geskiedenis en hetbaienavorsingswerkhieroor gedoen, ookoordie eerste setlaars in die vallei.

SohetKatringrootgewordmetdiemooiste,asook hartseerste, stories van die verlede.Maar min het sy geweet dat in haar later jaresynetsobetrokkesouweesmetdiegeskiede-nis van die gebied as wat haar pa was.

NadatsyopLaRochellegematrikuleerhet,het sy tale gestudeer aan Stellenbosch Uni-versiteit. Engels en Frans was haar hoofvakke. HiernahetsyvirnklompiejaarskoolgehoubyskoleindiePaarl.Maarsyhetaltyd inhaarbinnestegevoeldatsyniehier-voor beskore was nie.

Toe ontmoet sy iemand wat betrokke was by oorklan-kingswerk by die SAUK en dit het haar aangetrek. Ditwas juis in die dae toe talle televisiedramas vanaf Fransna Afrikaans oorgeklank is.

Katrin het n kontrak losgeslaan en het as oorklan-kingsregisseur by die SAUK in Seepunt begin werk.

Dit was harde werk, maar verskriklik uitdagend.Soms het dit dae lank geneem om die regte frase te kryvir n spesifieke toneel.

OmteontspanhetsyenhaarwynmakermanFreddieperd gery: Dit was my ontspanning en toevlug.

Katrin het al hoe ruiters op uitritte geneem teen dievoetheuwelsvandieKleinDrakensteinbergebyDaljosa-fat, en so het die geskiedenis begin terugkom na haarwat sy destyds by haar pa geleer het.

En sy het nog meer verhale van die verlede bygekry.Teen 1994 is oorklankingswerk by die SAUK uitgefa-

seer en Katrin is voltyds terug op die plaas.Sy het die nodige kursusse as toergids voltooi en wou

die wreld na Wellington en omgewing bring.Sy en Freddie het die Wildekus-slenterstap gaan loop

en hiertydens het sy besef dat n soortgelyke staptoermoontlik is in die wynlande.

Kort hierna ontmoet sy vir Judy Elliot, n toeropera-teur van Kaapstad en hulle begin praat oor n wynloop-roete in die gebied.

Alles het nou in plek begin val en sedertdien het onsnog nooit teruggekyk nie.

VandagfloreerdieWellington-wynloopsaammetJea-netta Ingwersen, Ron Lloyd en Elliott, soveel so dat ntweede roete onlangs gevestig is.

Toere strek tussen verskeie historiese plase, vanafDaljosafat na Wellington. Hier word wynproe aange-bied,asookgeleentheidomanderproduktewatopplase

geproduseer word soos kase, olywe en olies, asook inte-ressante druiwekonfyte to beproef.

Ons besef nie wat ons hier op ons eie drumpel hetnie.Diediversiteit isongelooflikendieplaaslikegemeen-skap baat by hierdie inspuiting van toerisme.

Mense kom nou van heinde en ver om ons wynlandeso te geniet en hulle dra die boodskap weer oor as hulletuis kom.

Wat Katrin se toere so merkwaardig maak, is die sto-ries uit die verlede. Min mense ken die geskiedenis vanDrakenstein so goed soos sy. Sy gaan so ver terug asdie geskiedenis van die Khoi en Boesman, en dan vandie Du Toits, die eerste setlaars van Daljosafat.

Die Paarl was toe reeds n nedersetting met hul aan-koms, maar die meerderheid van sy inwoners was Hol-lands.

Die Franse wou nie met die klomp meng nie en hetdus persoonlik by Simon van der Stel aangeklop om tevra vir ander grond. So is Daljosafat gebore die valleivan vergelding.

Katrin kyk weer oor die berge.Daar l Augusta-kop. Dis daar waar die Boesmans

aan pokke dood is toe die Europers hierdie siekte in1713 aangebring het.

SyvertelhoeFrancoisduToit opdie skok-toneel afge-kom het. Maar tussen die lyke het hy n baba hoor huil,die enigste oorlewende.

Hy het die babaseuntjie huis toe geneem en hy hetsaam met die Du Toits grootgeword. Later jare het dieBoesmanseundieDuToit-seunsdeurdiebergegeneemna waar sy mense vandaan kom.

So beland hulle in die Slanghoek-vallei en di was soasemrowendenvrugbaardatdieDuToit-seunshulhiergevestighet.DieBoesmanhet totdieouderdomvan100gelewe en is op Kleinbosch begrawe.

Dit is maar net een van die talle verhale wat deur dieberge dreun op die Wellington wynloop - en van hierdiestories sal Katrin nooit te veel kry nie.

Rivers can soonbreathe againLise Beyers

THE Berg River willsoon be rejuvenat-ed, due to a privateenterprise whichwill be ridding theembankmentsofal-ien vegetation.

This comes afteryears of variousprojects which un-successfully tried toeradicate alien vege-tation from the river,which is beingchoked by invasiveplants.

One blue gum treecan use up to 500 li-tres of water per day,and especially be-tween Paarl and Sar-on, these trees are strangling the river.

A private company, Biomass Energy Sus-tainableTechnologies(BEST)whichproduc-es biofuel chips as an alternative fuel, hasundertaken the river cleaning project. Theywill not only be tackling the Berg River, butthe Breede River as well.

Besides creating jobs, it will also make acontribution to the countrys carbon emis-sions reduction.

The provincial department of agricultureandthenationaldepartmentofwateraffairsare also involved in the project.

BEST will be responsible for removing al-ienplants fromtheriverbanksandwill thenuse the wood to manufacture biochipswhich are also exported.

Francis Steyn ofthe Western CapeDepartment of Agri-culture said it was adream come true,now that BEST hastaken the lead.

Steyn had earliersaid it would costnear to R300 millionto rehabilitate theecosystem of thesemajor rivers in theWestern Cape, withmore than 300 000tons of blue gum andother alien species tobe removed.

For years we havebeen trying to findways of successfullyclearing the riverbanks, but we never

had a real off-set for the wood.We thus opened the doors for the private

sectortobecomeinvolvedandBESTtooktheinitiative.

Steyn said the ultimate aim was to bringthe riversback to their original,healthyeco-system,and indoingso, alsoboost tourism.

Thisproject isexpected to runoveraspanof ten years.

All interested parties are invited to at-tend an open day on 4 May at the Du Vleifarm stall outside Hermon to discuss theproject.

Farmers and interested parties are askedto contact BEST owner and CEO, SamLovett, for an invite to the open day. He canbe contacted on [email protected].

ALIENS. A private company is to eradicate alienvegetation in the Berg River to produce bio-fuel.


Business Profile:Personal service is their secretFrans le Roux

PEOPLE thought we were cra-zy when we started a vegetableshop in Paarl - they said therewere too many farms aroundhere. But here we are today -still goingstrong,saysFernan-dodeFreitas(41),ownerofPaarlMarket.

He and his brother Nel (37)opened their business back in1996 and haven't looked backsince,despitethecurrenttougheconomic climate.

Timesaredefinitely tougher,but thenumberofclientswegetis increasing although peopleare spending less on luxury products.

Withtheriseinthepriceofelectricity,die-sel and rent, our profit margins have alsoshrunk.

After owning a similar shop in GreenPoint the de Freitas brothers decided thatthey needed to expand and after some re-search found the perfect spot right here inPaarl. We were looking to expand and weneeded tobringmybrotherandhispartneron board. When we arrived here it was afurniture and game store. We made it whatPaarl Market is today.

Fernando says that their recipe for suc-cess is simple.

Wekeep it small,wedobusinesshands-onand there is alwaysoneofusat theshopto assist customers.

We dont have managers running theplace, we do everything ourselves. We doour own buying and because we dont havebigstoragefacilities,webuyfreshstockdai-ly, including Saturdays.

NelandFernandohavetwochildreneachand after 15 years in Paarl they still enjoyowning the shop.

NelsaysthatPaarlMarket isasuccessfulfresh produce store for a number of rea-sons.

Wehave amorepersonal touchwithourclients. We can go anywhere in Paarl andour clients will recognise us because wework hard on getting for them what theyneed. Andkeepingthepricesas lowaspos-sible and really cutting into our profit mar-

giniswhatkeepsourcustomershere,saysFernando.

Seeing that they specifically deal in fruitand vegetables, freshness is of the utmostimportance. Daily deliveries from acrossthe country ensure that Paarl Market hastop quality, fresh produce.

We get our produce from the market,and about 80% of the goods come directfrom the farmers from all over the provinceand some from Gauteng, says Fernando.

According toNel theysupport local farm-ers as much as possible.

Why fruit and veg?We started working in vegetable shops

at a very young age (13-14). With all thatexperience and expertise we thought: whydo something else if youre already good atthis! says Nel.

ThedeFreitas familyemigratedfromMa-deirabecauseofa lackof jobopportunities.

Our parents came from the Portugueseisland of Madeira as immigrants to look fora better life in South Africa. Madeira didnthavemanyopportunitiesbecauseitsaverysmall island.

My father was a fisherman there and heis still one today at the age of 74. He neverwanted us to be fishermen however, be-cause its a difficult life.

According to Nel the secret to their ongo-ing success is that they keep on adaptingto suit changing times. This is what makesPaarlMarket thesuccessful store that it re-mains today.

VOORRUIT UITGESKOP. n Vragmotor wat graan vervoer, het Sondagoggend omstreeks03:00 omgeval voor Huguenotstasie in die Paarl. Die bestuurder het glo eers n paar drankiesgedrink by n plaaslike kuierplek voordat hy by die verkeerslig voor die stasie wou opdraai,en die pad byster geraak het. Die bebloede insittendes het, nadat hulle die voorruit uitgeskophet, die hasepad gevat, vermoedelik om te verhoed dat hulle van dronkbestuur aangeklakan word. Die pad was gesluit terwyl die voertuig op sy wiele gedraai en weggesleep is.

Retief Street to lose its peaceRESIDENTS of Retief Street in Paarlare concerned about a proposed deve-lopmentof229housesadjoining theirstreet.

The development has been in the pipe-line for many years, despite vociferousobjections from residents who have al-waysenjoyedanunlimitedviewof theru-ralpropertyacrosstheroad,andtherezo-ning isdue tobeapprovedby themunici-pal council today.

Retief Street, the northernmost streetin Paarl intersecting with Main Street, isoneofthequietest inPaarl,offeringbeau-tifulviewsofthesurroundingmountains.It adjoins the farm La Roche, the sout-hern section of which is to be subdividedinto 229 units.

We are not opposed to the develop-ment, but we are very concerned abouttheincreaseintrafficinthestreet,especi-ally during construction, says MikeShaw of Retief Street.

Residents feel that a development ofthissize,whichcouldmeanapermanentincrease of 400 cars in our street, is pro-blematic if it does not have its own exitinto Main Street. As it is, residents of Re-tief Street struggle to enter Main Streetduring peak hour traffic.

There isanoldhouseat the intersecti-on of Retief and Main Street, which pre-vents the intersection being widened fora traffic light.

Wefeelthereshouldbeanewintersec-tion north of Retief Street with a trafficlight or traffic circle giving access to the

development, instead of funneling thetraffic down Retief Street.

A total of 61 objections were lodgedagainst the development by landowners.

The gated development of 15 hectareswill havesmall erven ranging insize from350 to 500 square metres each, with anumber of open space including an olivegrove on the Main Street side.

House sizes will vary from 87 squaremetres to 165 square metres. All homeswill be single storey and built in a Capestyle. A clubhouse/restaurant and officewill be located in the former farmhouse.

The town council is expected to appro-vetherezoningof thepropertytosubdivi-sionalareaat itsmeeting today,whereaf-ter detail planning can start.

According to town councillor JohanRademeyer (portfolio holder planning)accessdetailscouldchangebeforethede-velopment is eventually approved.

The provincial roads engineer has in-dicated that another entrance in MainStreet,northofRetiefStreet,wouldbetooclose to the existing intersection, but weplan to invite them to visit the site again,to possibly reconsider their decision.

A portion of the site will also be usedtowidenRetiefStreet andaddasidewalkon the north side of the street.
