MOWBRAY: HOMELESS ROPED IN TO KEEP STATION FREE OF GRAFFITI

Cleaning blitz for stationASTRID FEBRUARIE

Mowbray station is well on its way tobecome graffiti free.

Straatwerk, in partnership withthe Groote Schuur Community Improve-ment District (GSCID), have united to re-move the graffiti at Mowbray station.

James Mandean, technical manager forStraatwerk – an NGO assisting the homeless– says their teams maintain the area welland remove graffiti as soon as it is spotted.

“We experienced a major problem withgraffiti, but we can declare the area graffitifree,” he says.

Straatwerk teams tackled the station’ssubway at the start of this month and re-moved the graffiti.

And are intent on keeping it clean.Straatwerk encourages the homeless to

get involved in job rehabilitation increasetheir chances for future employment.

“We are not only about employment, butrather an organisation for the homeless anddestitute, teaching them to takeup their ownresponsibility in life,” he says.

Although graffiti is not a major problemin Mowbray it does occur intermittentlysays Anthony Davies, chairperson of theGSCID.

“Employing the homeless helps them toearn money which goes towards paying fortheir identity documents and shelter costs.They also educate the homeless people onhow to save money for future use which pre-vents them from begging on the streets,” hesays.

Metrorail is also coming to the party,nowthat Straatwerk has done the leg work.

They are now looking intomore lasting so-lutions to deal with graffiti on the stationsand trains.

TerraNongqongqoacting regionalmanag-er of Metrorail Western Cape says the re-moval of graffiti from trains and stations is

a problem. “A chemical engineering compa-ny is trying to perfect a chemical formula toremove graffiti effectively. Train graffiti isremoved during the train’s general over-haul,” she says.

“With finite resources at our disposal, ourfocus is to first clean offensive graffiti assoon as we can, generally within 48 hours.”

Lindelo Matya, regional manager of PRA-SA Corporate Real Estate Solutions, saysthey are in the process of appointing a con-tractor to do overall station improvementswhich will include Mowbray station.V Share your thoughts! Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

‘DETERIORATING FAST’: CALL TO TEAM UP

Parking lot a painASTRID FEBRUARIE

Community members in Clare-mont Lynfrae say the parkinglot on the corner of Stanley

Road is a haven for anti-social be-haviour and illegal dumping.They are now calling on their

ward councillor to do something toclean up the area.Chairperson of the Claremont

Cluster Community Policing Fo-rumLizWilliamson says during theday it is used as a parking area,mostly by the businesses across theroad, but at night it is used by thevagrants to sleep in and young peo-ple to smoke and drink.“This parking lot can be seen as

you enter Claremont from the cen-tral business district of Cape Town;it gives the impression the area isnot well-kept,” she says.Williamson says residents are

afraid towalk there at night, as theynever know what they will come

across. “This has been an issue fora couple of years and it is really dis-gusting. The parking lot and its sur-rounds are deteriorating fast.”She adds the property is said to

belong to theCity of CapeTownand,if so, it is their responsibility toclean and possibly fence it.“They can either utilise it for a

proper parking area or alternative-ly lease it to somebody in the areawhowill look after it properly,”Wil-liamson says.Morgan Smith, secretary of the

HarLyn Neighbourhood Watch,sayswhile theparking lot isCouncilland, it is time the community andlocal businesses (whose clientsmake use of that parking area) rallytogether and take ownership ofproblem areas in the suburb.“We must acknowledge that

Council cannot do it all. I have nodoubt that with the buy-in of localbusinesses, the parking area can be-come a clean and attractive area to

be enjoyed by those who use it.”Smith says ward councillor Mat-

thew Kempthorne pledged his as-sistance to the community and of-fered his support to their endeav-ours to revitalise the area.She says: “Itwasproposed thatwe

meet with local businesses and seekto raise funds so that the HarLynWatch, together with Harfield Vil-lage Association and the GreaterLynfrae Civic Association can em-ploy a work party and purchasepaint and plants to clean the area.”Kempthorne says the parking lot

has been an issue for a very longtime and, although they have regu-larly cleaned the area, people stillcome back and deface the property,which makes it difficult to keep thespace clean.“Wewill continue cleaning the ar-

ea to ensure that the space does notbecome a dumping spot for peopleor a sleeping ground for vagrants,”Kempthorne says.

PEOPLE'S POST | CLAREMONT | RONDEBOSCHThursday, 10 October 2013 NEWS 5ENVIRONMENT: LITTER­BOOM TO CURB DUMPING

Rescue plan for dirty riversASTRID FEBRUARIE

While the toxicity levels in the Blackand Vygekraal rivers have declined,the level of litter in the rivers re-

mains appallingly high, to great concern tothe Friends of the Black and Vygekraal Riv-ers in Mowbray.To help alleviate the problem, the organi-

sation has spent most of the year activelypressing ahead plans for introducing a so-phisticated litter-boom on the Vygekraaland Black rivers.Jonathan Hobday, chairperson of the

Friends of the Black and Vygekraal Rivers,says a site where a boom can be installed tostop the litter from moving down stream in-to the Black River has been identified on theVygekraal River. “We have drawn up a planand a budget has been compiled, but all thatis needed now is to find the money to installthe boom,” Hobday says.“The cost is slightly more than R230 000

and we are working on raising the funds so

that we can go ahead with the installation.”The organisation believes the boom will

facilitate river-cleaning operations, savingthe City of Cape Townmoney in the process.“It will greatly reduce the damaging and

unsightly flow of litter desecrating the riv-er,” he says.The effect that the pollution has on the en-

vironment is terminal, as aquatic life andbirdlife disappear because of the pollutionin the rivers,” Hobday adds.“If successful, the boommayalso point the

way for containing pollution on other riversacross the Peninsula,” he says.

Part of the mission of the organisation isto raise more public awareness about howfragile rivers are.“We believe the boom system could make

a huge difference in keeping our rivers andstreams clean, because it is a cheap and ef-fective way of controlling the pollution,”Hobday says.Ward councillor Matthew Kempthorne al-

leges many people dump their litter into therivers, because they assume the stream willcarry it along. But the litter just pollutes thewater. “We ask that people refrain from do-ing so, as it does have long-term effects on

the environment and the wildlife that livethere,” he says.“The proposed litter-boom on the Vy-

gekraal River will greatly facilitate the riv-er-cleaning operations by concentrating theclean-up at one spot.”Kempthorne says clean-up groups from

the Friends of the Black and Vygekraal riv-ers currently have a range of many kilome-tres of river to clear up the litter.“We are hopeful that we will raise the

funds for the booms, which will make itmuch easier to maintain the cleaning of therivers in future,” he says.

Concert toraise fundsASTRID FEBRUARIE

Performing artists are donating theirskills to help raise funds and awareness ofthe plight of the homeless.It will take the form of a hip-hop concert

on Friday 11 October in honour of WorldHomeless Day today (10 October).The concert, to be held in Pinelands, will

help boost the coffers of U-turn, a Kenil-worth NGO which assists the homeless.U-turn public relations and volunteer

managerMeganCairns says the fundswillhelp them continue the life-changingworkthey do.“It is not only our responsibility to im-

prove the area in which we live, but the(lives of the) people,” Cairns says.“If we don’t take positive long-term ac-

tion then there won’t be a long-termchange.”U-turn’s mission is to restore the self-

worth and self-esteem of the adult streetperson by addressing their spiritual, phys-ical and emotional needs, Cairns says.“In doing so, we aim to rehabilitate and

re-integrate the homeless into society. Weseek to empower individuals to lead inde-pendent and dignified lives,” she says.U-turn provides homeless people with

an opportunity for skills training and em-ployment.Thanks to the initiative, some homeless

people have gone on to be employed asshop managers, while others are studyingand a number of them are employed asteam leaders at U-turn.She says the reality is that many people

do not have the time, energy or skills tohelp someone move off the street.“This is why organisations such as U-

turn exist – to do what most people can’tdo for the homeless,” Cairns says.V The hip-hop benefit concert will take place atOld Mutual in Pinelands at 19:00. Ticket prices costR80 from Computicket and R100 at the door. Any-one who would like to make a donation or volunteertheir time can visit U-turn’s website at www.home-less.org.

PEOPLE'S POST | CLAREMONT | RONDEBOSCHThursday, 10 October 2013 SPORT 7

Schilperoort beats Mocke in openerTom Schilperooort fought off a stiff south-easter, choppywaters anda strong challengefrom Dawid Mocke to take first place in theDunlop Duster.

The Duster, the first race of the CapeTown Surfski Series, saw 135 paddlers line-up on Fish Hoek Beach on Sunday.

A frenzied chop on the ocean’s surfacewasanexcitingprospect for the experiencedpad-dlers, but thehealthy contingent of newpad-dlers were nervously checking their safetyequipment on board.

Surfskis were made for ocean racing andthe two-lap course, which took paddlers ona 12km route in and out of the bay, ensuredthat all skills would be tested – especially inthe 2.5km downwind leg towards the finishline.

Local lad Schilperoort raced a tacticallysuperb race to claim a narrow victory overthe seasoned international campaigner andformer World Series champion, Mocke.

Durban’s Brandon van der Walt pushedthe race leaders all the way to claim thirdplace.

Marina da Gama’s Graeme Solomon tookfourth, while sensational youngster KennyRice took fifth as well as first in the juniordivision.

The absence of Sean Rice and JasperMocke – both racing abroad – arguablymadethings slightly easier for the others.

In the women’s division Nikki Mockewalked away with first place.

Kim van Gysen claimed second but had tohold off a strong charge from junior KirstenFlanagan, a junior world silver medallist,who took third.

The Cape Town Surfski Series, sponsoredby Vodacom, consists of eight races.

The next race of the series will be held atHout Bay Beach on Sunday 13 October.

Weightlifters rake in the medalsLIAM MOSES

The Mitchell’s Plain Weightlifting Clubrecently added even more medals to itsgrowing list of titles.

Five lifters from the club competed inthe SouthAfrican JuniorChampionshipsin Johannesburg last month; three ofthem returned with medals.

Jermaine Josephs (16) claimed gold,whileNishaanSmith (14) andAdrianNel-son (20) won bronze.

Nelson says he hoped for a better finishat his third junior championships.

“I’m not really that happy with bronze,as I was aiming for the silver medal,” hesays. I dropped to the bronze because Ifailedwith one attempt. I knew Iwouldn’twin the gold – it would have been tootough.”

Nelson lifted a combined total of 180kgin the clean-and-jerk and snatch.

Kurtley Hendricks (14) and AragmanHendricks (20) also attended the champi-onships, but finished in fourth.

The five lifters qualified for the SAChampionships after winning theirweight classes at the Western ProvinceJunior Championships earlier this year.

Coach Chadwin Fourie has been coach-ing some of the lifters since the age of 13and says he is proud of their achieve-ments.

Fourie is also one of the top performersin the country.

The 23-year-oldwon gold at theWPSen-ior Championships in April and went onto win gold at the SA Championships inJune.

He says the victory has given him hopeof reaching even greater heights.

“It boosts your confidence. Once youwin, you feel like you can climb the lad-

der,” says Fourie.“You feel like you can start reaching

greater heights. It makes you start think-ing about international competitions.Hopefully, if my health and fitness isgood, I can take on international competi-tions.”

Fourie trains between three and sevendays a week for around four hours a day.

The featherweight lifted a combined to-tal of 181kgs in his two events.

But although he is the SA champion hewill need tomeet the 210kgmark to quali-fy for international competition.

“I didn’tmake it as I haveworkcommit-ments; I’m not a full-time athlete,” hesays.

“If I was doing this professionally I’mconfident I would have already achievedthe benchmark.”

Although Fourie would like to competeinternationally and set qualification forthe 2016 Olympics as his goal, he sayshelping other lifters is what really driveshim.

“I want to give hope to kids who are do-ing drugs and committing crime. If theythink there isn’t hope, maybe they canlook to me,” he says.

“Since I was small I trained at the com-munity centre. I saw the caretakers andplay leaders helping the children. Theywere likemy parents – so I grew into this.When I was older I started helping kids.I was in high school and already volun-teering for the City of Cape Town, moti-vating kids.”

TheMitchell’s PlainWeightliftingClubtrains at theWoodlands Community Cen-tre.

Coke Cup final set to dazzleLIAM MOSES

Jordan Callies will throw caution to thewind and attack from the first whistlewhen they meet Sporting United in the

Coca-Cola Cup final on Saturday.The Manenberg side have played an at-

tacking brand of football all season andcoach Andy Barnes insists that nothing willchange for the tournament final.“We are going to play to our strengths

without focusing on the opposition toomuch,” he says.“Our game is based on attacking and en-

tertaining football. It’s an integrated style offootball, based on African flair and Europe-an technical strength. It will be fast and at-tractive. We want the people to enjoy thegame.”Barnes immediately implemented his phi-

losophy when he took over at Callies in Jan-uary.“It was a process; I had to change themen-

tality of the entire club and bring in profes-sionalism,” he says.“The determination and character of the

players carried it through. The players arequick learners; that brought us to where weare today. It showsme that there is an abun-dance of talent which needs development inManenberg.”The results his side has achieved on the

road to the final speaks to this newly foundcommitment to attack.Callies beat Salt River Blackpool 4-3 in the

last 16, Bluedowns Spurs 3-2 in the quarter-finals and fought back from 2-1 down to win3-2 against Milano United in the semis.Theyhave also achieved success inRygate

Local Football Association this season, win-ning the Premier League and losing in thefinal of the Knockout on Saturday.Barnes says he rested several first team

players for the Knockout final against Junc-tion Rovers.He says no one expected his side to do this

well this season.“Everybody was writing us off. We played

five different SafaCTSecondDivision teamson our way to the final and proved all thecritics wrong. I planned properly and theplayers understand. We has the right gameplans and changed it according to the opposi-tion,” Barner says.The former Ajax Cape Town coach

watched Sporting United see off StephanianOttery in a semi-final on Monday.He expects United to play “kick and

charge”, direct football in the final.“I have identified certain weaknesses,

where we can capitalise, in the opposition.I’m pretty sure they have no idea what weare up to,” Barnes says.“My team is hungry; they have Manen-

berg and Heideveld behind them. They aregoing to go out there and prove they are thebest team in Cape Town.”Barnes’ side may have the support of the

area, but he says most supporters will nothave transport to Phillipi Stadium.

He has appealed for assistance in hiringbuses to transport their loyal fans.Barnes can be contacted on 071 752 4812.
