NEW DEVELOPMENT: ELECTRICAL CONNECTION PENDING

NADINE MOODIE

SAFETY concerns have beenraised following the construc-tion of a Harfield Village de-

velopment.Residents neighbouring The

Harfield, in Princes Road, have ex-pressed fears about their safety.

This comes after neighbours saythey heard an explosion comingfrom beneath the development’sboundary wall on Easter Mondayafternoon.

James Fernie, chairperson of theHarfield Village Association, hasconfirmed hearing the explosion.

Fernie says after the explosion,electricity supply to his home andthose of neighbours “went out andwas only restored on Tuesday”.

“I suspect the rain on the daycame into contact with the electri-cal cable under the wall,” he says.

Robert Meinesz, director of Clas-sico Developments, says the cableswere laid by the City of Cape Townbefore construction commenced.

He adds the council approved theplans and Classico was “withinour rights when we started build-ing”, as the cables were laid and“council knew those cables werethere and approved the plans”.

Meinesz says he believes theproblem started three-and-a-halfyears ago when the developmentfirst went up.

“The events of Easter Monday af-ternoon is a result of an electricalcable that was hit by a pick three-and-a-half years ago when a la-bourer was digging a trench nextto the pole,” he adds.

Meinesz says the council wantsClassico to pay for the repairs, butthe company refuses to, because,he says, the council laid the cablethere in the first place.

“When we acquired the land, thecable was already there. The coun-cil placed it on our land and nowthey want us to pay for their mis-take.”

Meanwhile, tenants who havetaken up residence in the develop-ment have subsequently movedout.

Meinesz says the residents va-cated the premises because thecouncil issued Classico with a tem-porary electrical connection. Thiswas, however, later terminated,forcing tenants to seek alternativeaccommodation.

“The council noticed the build-ing was too close to the electricalcables and cancelled the tempo-rary electrical connection,” saysMeinesz.

“We’re now waiting on the coun-cil to place the overhead cables un-derground, so that our electricitycan be restored and residents canreturn to their homes.”

Princes Road resident AndreaTrauernicht lives in a propertywhich borders The Harfield.

After the development’s electric-ity was disconnected, Trauernichtsays, Meinesz and his businesspartner asked if she’d be willing tolet them run a lead from her houseto the development. She says theywanted to pay her R500 a day..

“I refused and in the end Classi-co parked a bakkie with a genera-tor in their basement and ran elec-tricity from there,” says Trauer-nicht, who has an infant.

“My windows, lights and ceilingkept rattling from the vibration ofthe generator. It was a terrible dis-turbance for us.

“I called law enforcement, wholater informed the developers thegenerator may not be in operationlater than 18:00.”

Meinesz says the generator inthe basement only operates duringworking hours and is used for elec-tricity purposes on site.

NUTS, SOYA, MILK: THE CULPRITS

Talks shareallergy infoNADINE MOODIE

ONE in 10 children are infectedwithfood allergies and the numbers areincreasing daily.

This frightening statistic was sharedby Professor Mike Levin, head of the al-lergy department at Red Cross Chil-dren’s Hospital last week during WorldAllergy Week.Last year alone 800 children were ad-

mitted to the hospital for food allergies.The alarming number of patients ad-

mitted for this type of allergy led to thehospital launching the allergy depart-ment that primarily focuses on allergiesprevalent in children.Levin explains that the most common

food allergy is anaphylaxis, which af-fects the heart, skin, breathing and gut.“The risk of death for food allergies is

small, but preventable,” he says.Paediatrician andallergistDrClaudia

Grey says 90% of food allergies arecaused by nuts, soya and milk.“Patients often experience allergic re-

actions in the formof swelling, itchinessand flared-up eczema. Serious reactionsusually occur in the gut and lead toswelling of the lips and tongue, cramps,nausea and diarrhea,” says Grey.Lori Bentley, parent to an anaphylax-

is sufferer, says pollen nearly killed herson as she recalls the day he was diag-nosed.“He had a swollen face and difficulty

breathing. He was later diagnosed withseven airborne allergies and one fornuts,” explains Bentley.Her son’s plightmade her aware of the

greater community’s ignorance towardsthe disease.“I realised we needed to get a conver-

sation going around this topic. There’sjust too little support and informationabout food allergies in South Africa. SoI decided to create the Allergy EpicentreFacebook page,” she says.Heidi Thomas, a nursing sister at Red

Cross, spoke about the importance ofstoring medication for anaphylaxis in asafe and accessible space.“So often incorrect dosages are given

to patients andmedication is not admin-istered properly or pre-openedmedicineis given. All these things can put the pa-tient at risk,” she explains.An allergy register has been set up by

theAllergy Society of SouthAfrica to de-termine who has allergies and whatkind of allergies people are sufferingfrom in the country.V For more information visit www.allergysa.org orwww.facebook.com/allergyepicentre

LIESBEECK: NOT A HIGH LITTER AREA

TAURIQ HASSEN

THE state of the Liesbeeck River hasbrought about contrasting views, withlocals planning to take immediate ac-

tion.Beer bottles, food wrappers, human fae-

ces andotherwaste line thebanksof the riv-er, which is home to various types of fishand other wildlife.However, the City of Cape Town main-

tains theLiesbeeckRiver is “one of the leastpolluted rivers in the city”, while locals feelserious action is required.Observatory resident Felicity Fouche ac-

knowledges clean-up efforts made by theCity in the past, but claims there is a lackof security to keep tabs on pollution levels.“It’s one thing cleaning up the river, but

it’s another thing to maintain it and that isthe (issue),” she says.“How is this area being monitored?”She adds that dirt is “all around the riv-

er” and casts aside suggestions that thewind is the cause of all the dirt in the area.“If youwalk along the river, you see pack-

ets containing dirt, maybe after a familyhas finished with a meal, that has beenthrown on the banks of the river. That cer-tainly shows that people are destroying thespace,” Fouche says.Emile Young, the chairperson of the Ob-

servatory Civic Association and director ofthe Observatory Improvement District,was left speechless when visiting the riverrecently.Upon arrival, Young was forced to pick

up beer bottles littered along the banks ofthe river.“This is really sad and unpleasant at the

same time. We have animals that rely onthis river to survive,” she says. “They cer-tainly cannot live in this filth.”Young promised that immediate action

would be taken and that efforts would bemade by local organisations to clean up sec-tions of the river before tackling the issuewith council.“I am completely disgusted at the amount

of dirt inside andaround the river. This cer-tainly is not just caused by the wind,” shesays.Young explains that vagrants setting up

camp could easily be blamed for the stateof the body of water.Vagrants bathing and starting fires were

among the concerns mentioned by locals.Mayoral Committee member for Trans-

port, Roads and Stormwater, Brett Herron,explains that the Liesbeeck River serveslarge urban catchments, which includecommercial and industrial zones.He feels areas such as these will always

be “subject to some degree of pollution”.Heron believes the visual pollution is basi-cally derived from litter, both wind-blownand litter discarded on the streets and pave-ments,which find itsway into the stormwa-ter system.“The Liesbeeck River is one of the least

polluted rivers in the City, when consider-

ing that a fair extent of its catchment com-prises a highly developed urban area,” Her-ron says.The City has a broad river cleaning pro-

grammewhich increases cleaning frequen-cies in areas where litter generation ishigh.The Liesbeeck River is not regarded as a

high litter area.“To assist in keeping litter generation to

a minimum, it is important for residents todispose of waste correctly and to be awarethat litter located on a road or pavementwill almost certainly find its way to thenearest river,” he says.With regard to the vagrancy, acting exec-

utive director for Safety and SecurityHeathcliff Thomas confirms that the City isaware of the activities by vagrants alongthe river and the Displaced People’s Unit(DPU) is used as a tool to curb the problems.The DPU teams up with the Claremont

and Mowbray City Improvement Districtsfor monthly joint clean-up operations.Homeless people along the banks of the

river have been assisted in the past, but re-turned to the area.“The operations will continue with the

hope that it will discourage the vagrants,”Thomas adds.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your views to32516. SMSes are charged at R1 each.

CLAREMONT: OPERATION CLEAN­UP

Dirt purge inClaremontNADINE MOODIE

EVERY single drain in the ClaremontBusiness District will be cleaned andbaited in preparation for the fast ap-

proaching wet and windy winter months.This project is been run by the Claremont

Improvement District Company (CIDC) aspart of their annual operation that has tak-en place for the last four years.

The CIDC’s Abdul Kerbelker says this op-eration is part of their annual clean-up thatincludes cleaning stormwater drains by re-moving dirt, leaves and other rubble blownin by the wind.

“In addition to cleaning the drains we al-so have a six-month rodent plan. Every sin-gle drain in the Claremont business districtwill be baited to manage the infestation ofrodents,” says Kerbelker.

He explains that the area has a constantproblem with rats, which he believes islinked to the waste areas and refuse binsoutside restaurants and food outlets in thedistrict.

“We’ve entered into an agreement withbusiness owners to ensure that their shops’food and waste areas are kept clean so thatrats will be kept at bay. And we’ve takenfurther steps to assist them by baiting andmaintaining their outside drains,” he says.

Business owners in the area have con-firmed the presence of the CIDC’s cleaningoperation team in the area.

It is a common belief that the increase inrats in the Western Cape is linked to fewer

owls in the ecosystem to prey on the ro-dents.

City of Cape Town’s media manager KylieHatton says they’ve budgeted R530 843,00 topurchase rat poisons. She adds that owlsonly eat rats on occasion, they usually pre-fer house mice in urban areas.“Rats oftenfrequent sewers, drains and other areaswhereowls arenot able to access them.Thisis why it is not fair to say that owls controlrats in the area. Owls are one of the means,but poisoning and trapping will always berequired,” she explains.V For more information contact the Claremont Im-provement District Company on 0 021 674 0639 orvisit www.cidc.co.za.

ONE can only hope future generations of this country havebroad shoulders.

But at leastArchbishopEmeritusDesmondTutuhas faithin the youth.

The cleric has spoken out about the prevailing violenceof the current South African society.

In a comparison to apartheid, he said post-democracy SAhas become one of the “most violent societies”.

Calling the inequality in the country unsustainable, Tutupointed to media reports of murder, rape and the high deathtoll on our roads as being a reflection of society.

Meanwhile, the expectation that the new SA would blos-som into an example of “eendrag maakmag” on an interna-tional stage, seems to have failed to take root.

And the issuing of crime statistics only once a year dolittle to stem the suspicions of a crime-weary nation andengender faith in the police’s competence. Word-of-mouthcannot, and will not, be muzzled. People talk.

Crime and violence have sealed the door on the honey-moon that was a democratic SA.

Tutu’s words have been countered by Cabinet spokesper-son Phumla Williams, who said “research has confirmed”South Africans are “feeling safer now” than in apartheid.

She said implementation of policies and procedures bypolice, including “high police visibility and swift responsesto criminal activities”, are contributing factors to a saferSA.

Yet media reports continue quoting police spokespersonsas requesting community tip-offs in the war on crime.

And now the City of Cape Town says it will pay for tip-offsleading to arrests in gang violence and drug running on theCape Flats.

One can only wonder how deep the City’s coffers are.All is up to this and future generations, it seems.The cleric does not come empty-handed. Tutu says the

younger generation will need to arm themselves with the“spirit of ubuntu”.

And, perhaps, the wisdom to know when to fight or flee.

Water quality is ‘acceptable’THE article “Duck and dive at NewlandsPool” (People’s Post, 2 April) refers

I do not agree with Michael Cohen.To suggest people move from the New-

lands Swimming Pool to Sea Point is ridicu-lous. These pools are so far apart that theycannot possible serve the same communi-ties.

As a long-time resident of Newlands, I amdelighted to use the Newlands SwimmingPool. It certainly would benefit from renova-tion of the tiling and the change rooms, butthe quality of the water is very acceptableand the change rooms are washed down reg-ularly.

Thewater is clean, clear and free of chemi-cals.

I find the attendants and guards most po-lite and pleasant, and I have never felt thatthe surrounding paving is not clean, despitethe Egyptian Geese. During the recentschool holidays, I was impressed by the waythe attendants controlled and watched thechildren in the bath and I was delighted tosee so many families using the facility.

Out of holiday periods, the pool is used byquite a number of people in the mornings.I can’t speak for the afternoons as I amneverthere after lunch, but it seems likely that theuse of the pool is higher in the afternoonsthan in the mornings. There are certainly anumber of elderly folk who use the pool.

Indeed, I am one of them.However, serious young swimmers use it

regularly, training for long periods over itsconsiderable length. It is also used by prima-ry schools at the ends of terms when theyhire buses andbring childrenwhowouldnotnormally be able to enjoy such a facility toexperience the pleasure of swimming andsplashing on a hot day.

I am very happy they are able to make useof the Newlands pool in that way.

I would like to take this opportunity tothank the council and the attendants for pro-viding us with this amenity and urge thatthey make every effort to keep it in goodshape in spite of the considerable costs in-volved.Beatrice Law, Newlands

Pool: why is it in such a poor condition?I’VE read a rather disturbing article in thePeople’s Post about poor maintenance atNewlands Swimming Pool (“Duck and diveat Newlands Pool”, People’s Post, 2 April).

I’ve posed these questions in 2008, but ha-ven’t had a response.

Why is the maintenance of the pool sopoor?

Is there redress when council staff do notperform their duties properly?What is beingdone to ensure the pool is maintained ade-

quately?I can’t imagine sweeping the grounds and

chasing ducks away is an expensive task.The natural conclusion that residents willdraw, is that council are negligent in main-taining an asset in Newlands.

This fits in well with council’s attempts tosell it off because it is in a state of disrepair– a condition that council itself allowed tohappen.Sean Crookson, Email

Ducks and swimmers in harmonyNEWLANDS Swimming Pool is indeed thevenue of choice for a number of us regularswimmers.

Some of us are there daily during the sum-mer months.

The pool itself is cleaned regularly. Theducks swimhappily inandaround the swim-mers.

They are not at all scared or, for that mat-

ter, aggressive towards the swimmers. Onthe odd occasion the duck droppings are vis-ible on the steps, but they are soon removed,especially after a polite request.

The staff are most helpful and the toiletsand change rooms are exemplary.

Toobad thepool closed forwinter last Sun-day.Maurice Bergoff, email

Barking dogs offerthe best warningFOR the benefit of non-dog owners who donot understand the reasons why dogs bark,let me explain. They bark at a phone ringingor strangers and unusual noises, becausethey are trying to tell you something.

Dogs are being unfairly discriminatedagainst with this law placing a restrictionon how often they are allowed to bark. Howis barking more disturbing than childrenscreaming or loud music and lawnmowers?

If dogs have to be silenced within a speci-fied period of time, then so should humans.Will the city council also be sending out ateam of intimidating officers to hand overa “scary” piece of paper to the parent of ascreaming teen, threatening to impoundtheir child? Beware big brother is watchingyou.

In this case the parent might be happy tosee the teenager go.

We live in a very peculiar society where,despite the prevalence of crime, there is thislaw wanting to stop dogs from barking. Thisis plain short-sightedness because dogs arethe best security.

City council Law Enforcement officers ad-vise putting shock device collars arounddog’s neck. Would anyone try and control ababy’s frequent crying in this inhumanemanner? Neighbours would be grateful forbarking if it kept an armed intruder away,but woe betide if the same dog barking dis-turbs the peace while they are sipping sun-downers.

If you have a complaint why not confrontthe dog owner directly? Only cowards andbullies go behind the dog owner’s back andanonymously report their dog to the coun-cil.

There is this unreal expectation of zerotoleranceof dogsbarking in the suburbs, butthis is ridiculous considering how one hasto tolerate equally irritating noises such asfrequent drilling from neighbours. Do thesecomplainants ever stop to consider the stu-dent studying for matric when they them-selves make noise?

If a dog is neglected and barks all day andnight then one has a legitimate reason togripe, but sometimes reporting dog barkingto the council is purely a personal vendettaagainst a neighbour you dislike.Dog lover, Claremont

Woman livesin fear ofharassmentNADINE MOODIE

A CLAREMONT woman who hasbeen harassed six times by thesame man was taken up in the in-

tensive care unit at a Southern Suburbshospital.The woman, who wants to remain

anonymous, says she is in constant fearfor her life, because the man keeps com-ing back to her door, she says.In the initial incidents, he had de-

manded cash and her cellphone, and she“even had the police (at her home)dressed in civilian clothes, but nothinghas stopped the man from returning”.The series of harassments is believed

to have started three weeks ago whenshe came home from a yoga session andwas attacked in her garage.“The man took my bag, but left my

iPhone. The following day when I re-turned home he was waiting for me andheld a gun to my throat. He said he wasreturning to get the iPhone,” says thedistraught woman.She adds the man returned four more

times.The woman laid a charge at the Clare-

mont police who then spent a day at her

home in civilian clothes in an attempt tonab the suspect.Warrant Officer Colin Geneke, from

Claremont police, says themanhas beenwatching her for a while.“A man was later arrested, but at the

identity parade the woman was unsureit was him, so we had to let the allegedsuspect go,” he says.The woman believes theman is linked

to a former worker whom she had fired.Her home had previously been burgled.She believes the former employee had

“sent this man to harass me because Isacked” the worker.On Saturday evening, the woman be-

lieves the same man harassed her whileshe was in her bathroom.She says aman called to her tellingher

heknew thepolicehadbeenat thehouse.“I was in the bathroom and I heard a

voice come fromoutside thewindowsay-ing: ‘I know the police were here yester-day’.“After that I did not feel safe anymore

and admitted myself to hospital.”She says the fear has affected her kid-

neys and she has high potassium levels.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your viewsto 32516. SMSes are charged at R1 each.

Icy feat for local extremistsLIAM MOSES

THREE Cape Town swimmers havepushed themselves to the edge, riskedinjury, flirtedwith death and survived

to tell the tale.RamBarkai, Kieron Palframan and Ryan

Stramrood swamamile in theArcticCircle,of the coldest water on earth, wearing onlyswimming briefs, swimming caps and gog-gles.The swimmers, from Camps Bay, New-

lands andConstantia respectively, complet-ed the feat on Saturday 23 March. Theyswam 60 laps in a 25m long “pool” that wascut out a frozen lake in Murmansk, Russia.Palframan (39) says he started to feel the

debilitating effects of the freezing, 0° wateralmost as soon as he immersed himself.“When you dive in it doesn’t take (your

body) long to become numb. The most diffi-cult thing is getting your breathing right.The first couple of lengths are just to getyour breathing right, so that you don’t hy-perventilate,” he says.“Then your body goes numb in sections.

Then your hands and feet feel very swollen;you go through a stage when you can’t actu-ally feel anything. Just after that you get an

ache, a deep pain in your bones. Right at theend you are (just) hanging on; you just wantto finish and your mind drags your bodythrough it.“Youdon’t actually feel anything. Youare

just so numb. You’re almost gone.”Stramrood (39) says the trio were in the

most danger when they exited the pool be-cause of the “after drop”, a periodwhere thebody rapidly cools aftermoving to a slightlywarmer temperature.“When you do a mile in those tempera-

tures in those conditions, you are complete-ly helpless when you finish,” he says.“In most cases you can’t even walk and

you need to be supported. You lose yoursense of balance, your ability to think isvery limited and you have tunnel vision.”The group first started competing in ex-

treme, openwater swimming events in 2010when they completed the Pennock IslandChallenge in Alaska. They have since goneon to break records and win worldwide ac-claim.In March 2011 the trio, together with two

other South Africans, Andrew Chin andToks Viviers, completed three epic swimsin the icy waters of Patagonia in only 10days.

The first swim saw the group traverse3.5km of water on the Straits of Magellan,the secondwas a 3kmdouble crossing of theBeagle Channel between Chile andArgenti-na, and the third was a 3km swim aroundCape Horn, the southern most tip of SouthAmerica,where they swambetween the twosouthern most lighthouses in the world.In 2012, they also swam a kilometre in Ty-

umen, Siberia in 0° water and an ambienttemperature of -33°.Barkai (55) says the group have become

famous in the ice swimming community be-cause theymanage to keep their sense of hu-mour, despite the danger involved.“Whereverwe go, the SouthAfrican team

is the highlight because we are alwayschirping and joking,” he says.“It’s one of the ways we deal with it; we

laugh a lot. Every time we do these thingsthere is a possibility, hopefully not high,that something goes wrong and we won’tcome back, so we try to enjoy it.”The group recently founded the Interna-

tional Ice Swimming Association to helpgrow and improve the sport.V For more information visit www.international-iceswimming.com or the Association’s Facebookpage.

LAST MINUTE TRY: SAVES BOSCH

Stalemate in high school derbyLIAM MOSES

THE Rondebosch Boys’ High School un-der-19 A team snatched a draw in thefinal minute of their game against arch

rivals Wynberg Boys’ on Saturday.The home side looked to have the matchsewnup, but a converted try sawBosch levelthe scores at 10-10 to take a share of thespoils.After thematchWynbergBoys’ coach Jus-tin van Winkel, admitted his disappoint-ment at the result but credited the opposi-tion for their performance.“It’s frustrating because we were up formajority of the game. They came back at theend,” says van Winkel.“This is a very goodRondebosch side – andwe respect and acknowledge that. Our boyswere good. They came out fighting and we

played good rugby for the majority of thegame.”“This Rondebosch side is hot. They havebeen tipped as being one of the hottest sidesin the Cape – if not the country – this year.It was a physical and confrontational con-test, and our biggest challenge to date.”Thevisitors dominated the first-half, prac-tically from the kickoff, opening the scoringaround the eighth minute when inside cen-tre Tyren Lee goaled the first penalty. Wyn-berg levelled soon after scoring their ownpenalty through fullback Karl Martin.Bosch continued their dominance afterthe leveller, camping in the home side’s 22andmonopolising possession, but they werekept out by a combination of staunch de-fence, poor decisions and handling errors.The home side also threatened on occa-sion, launching counter-attacks from deep

in their own territory, but falling short eachtime.Wynbergwere an improved side afterhalf-time and rose to ascendancy thanks to amore structured approach and clever tacti-cal kicking.Eight minutes later they finally crossedthe whitewash when Stef Botha loopedaround from the left wing, latched onto apass in the centre channel and scythedthrough a gap to score.The subsequent conversion from Martinleft Bosch trailing by seven points. Thehosts’ continueddominationandmiserly de-fence left little hope of a comeback.However, Rondebosch refused to acceptdefeat and finally touched down when leftwing Nic le Roux cut in at angle from thetouchline and powered his way over,through two would-be defenders. Lee made

nomistake with his conversion attempt andtied the scores at 10-10.VanWinkel says his teamwill look to takethe positives from the game and cut out theerrors in future matches.“Defence shows the character of the team.For my team to defend for the majority ofthe first-half and only let them score at thedeath shows the true character of my boys,”he says.“We will just take each game as it comes.Every school in the Cape is really good, sowe will try and build on this performance.We will try to iron out our mistakes in thisgame. We would be very happy to be moreaccurate at stages.”Rondeboschwill faceKenilworth club sidePrimroseRFC in theirnext encounter,whileWynberg travel Boland Landbou in the nextround of games on Saturday 20 April.
