Nature reserves gain partnersMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The formation of committees to overseeprotected areas across Cape Town hasbeen tabled.

Reports sent to several subcouncils acrossthe southern suburbs called for councillorsto be nominated for these new committees.The report covers 17 nature reserves and

natural environments across the city and in-cludes popular sites like False Bay NatureReserve, Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve,Wolfgat Nature Reserve and the Edith Ste-phens Nature Reserve.According to a report tabled at the sub-

councilmeetings theProtectedAreaAdviso-ry Committees (PAAC) exist to facilitate aparticipative approach in the managementof protected areas and to represent all stake-holders.The committees’ objectiveswill be to facil-

itate interaction between the managementof these areas and the surrounding commu-nities and to develop strategic partnerships.The report also says the committees will

aim to serve as a communication channeland assist with the implementation of man-agement plans.The committees will be statuary bodies

formed under the National EnvironmentalManagement Act.

According to the report the constitution ofthe PAAC was finalised in November andpublic participation for nominations closedin March.According to the constitution, the commit-

tees are advisory bodies rather than deci-sion-making bodies.Theywill consist of communities, council-

lors, ward communities and user groups.Theymay also include other affected and in-terested parties such as academic and re-search institutions, nature-based recreationbodies and tourism stakeholders.Themembers of each committeewill serve

a three-year term after which theirmember-shipwill be reviewed and the City can eitherrenew or terminate their membership andrequest new nominations.The PAAC will have a maximum of 20

members and a minimum of six.The report recommends two councillors

be nominated to serve on the committeeswhich fall in their respective subcouncil are-as.In the South Peninsula subcouncil, coun-

cillors Shaun August and Patricia van derRoss were nominated to serve on the FalseBay Nature Reserve committee. CouncillorsDave D’Alton and Elton Jansen were nomi-nated to serve on the Zandvlei Estuary Na-ture Reserve committee.In the Rondevlei subcouncil, councillors

Marita Petersen and Clive van der Merwewere also nominated to the Zandvlei Estu-ary Nature Reserve committee.In the Mitchell’s Plain subcouncils, coun-

cillors Sheval Arendse, Daniel Christians,MariaWeavers and LungileMaci were nom-inated to serve on the Wolfgat Nature Re-serve committee.

According to the resolutions for subcoun-cil 15, councillors Bernadette le Roux andPatrick Chapplewill serve on the committeefor Table Bay Nature Reserve.Rondevlei subcouncil manager Okkie

Manuels says councillors Thembinkosi Pu-pa and Andile Dube were nominated for theEdith Stephens Nature Reserve committee.

These DJs spin good deedsDance the night away anddo some goodwhile you’re at it.This is the idea behind Sound of the

Suburbs, which hosts events encourag-ingmusic lovers to give to those inneedwhile partying to some of Cape Town’shottest DJs.It all started when founder and DJ

Thomas Dodds went to fetch a jacketfrom his room before a night out. Hesuddenly thought of all those living onthe streetswithout the simple luxury ofclothing or blankets. He decided to giveback.Run by Dodds, art director and pho-

tographer Bianca Schwerin and eventscoordinator Alex Labia, the group’sfirst party last year asked the simpleentry fee of a bag of clothes, blanketsor tinned food. The proceeds – 20 blackbags full of clothing, 50 blankets andfour boxes of tinned food – were donat-

ed to the Haven Night Shelter.“The idea is that in some way we ac-

cumulate funding or clothing, blanketsand food from each event and donate itto a charity whose main focus is help-ing the homeless or those that are expe-riencing terrible poverty,” explainsSchwerin.The second event tookplace at theAs-

sembly inApril,with a cover charge go-ing towards a R20 000 donation to theCarpenter’s Shop, which offers home-less people ablution facilities and voca-tional skills training.The music industry has taken enthu-

siastically to the concept, Schwerinsays,withDJs suchasHaezer,DasKap-ital, Grimehouse, Niskerone and Hy-phen taking to the decks during theevents.“Our main idea was about DJs com-

ing together to create change. At the

same time, our purpose would changethe light in which DJs and the nightlifeindustry are often seen,” she explains.“The nightlife industry often gets la-

bels with negative connotations suchas drugs, sex and alcohol abuse. Wewant to show theworld that it is exactlythe opposite of that, that the nightlifeindustry is associated with people whohavegoodhearts andwill go out of theirway to put together a party that is aboutgiving back.”Sounds of the Suburbs is now plan-

ning even “bigger and better” events,Schwerin says.“We are planning on hosting many

events in our near future which will betargeted at different audiences. Fornow, we want to help our immediatecommunities, but we are also awarethat extreme poverty and homeless-ness is a global issue,” she says.

Cheap fire siren a first for shacksYou can be part of installing 3000 fire

detection devices in informal homesacross the country.

This as Lumkani, a technology start-upthat has designed and deployed fire detec-tion devices in informal settlement com-munities, launches a crowd-funding cam-paign this month.The social enterprise firm has created a

fire detection device aimed at shack dwell-ers which detects an increase in heat in-stead of smoke.Lumkani wants to lessen the loss of life

and property caused by dangerous fires ininformal settlements, says financial di-rector David Gluckman.“Wewish to increase the safety and secu-

rity of millions, if not hundreds of mil-lions, of people across the globe who liveat risk of slum fires,” he says.The product was invented after a devas-

tating fire in Khayelitsha on New Year’sDay in 2013.The blaze, which displaced thousands of

people, was a catalyst for research and de-velopment, Gluckman says.“This earlywarning detection systemhas

its roots in an engineering Honours thesisof Francois Petousis at UCT.“The tragic event brought together amul-

tidisciplinary team thatwould bring theoryinto reality to help mitigate the loss of lifeand property associated with the rampant

spread of shack fires,” he says.The device costs R120 and the battery will

last between one and two years.Lumkani uses heat detection technology

which is proven to be the most effective atsensing fires in already smoky environ-ments, Gluckman explains.“The in-shack heat detector will ring

when a fire is detected, enabling the familyin the home to respond proactively and pos-

sibly extinguish the fire,” he says.If this is not the case, the device will then

trigger all devices within a 100m range ofitself, using transmission technology, tocreate a community-wide alert.“This will serve to proactively alert peo-

ple of the danger to either assist in contain-ing the fire, or saving family members andbelongings,” he says.The company sold 850 devices between its

launch in November last year and the endof January.“Lumkani has already detected two fires

which the community has verified wouldhave displaced many people, had the net-work effect of the devices not taken placeand created a community-wide response tothe fire,” he says.“The critical challenge we want to ad-

dress is both the personal safety aspect ofone’s family in the home as well as thespread of the fire to the surrounding com-munity.”The company recently won the South Af-

rican rounds of the Chivas Regal Win theRightWayCampaign, and as part of this arelaunching the crowd-funding campaign thismonth. The campaign will work in tandemwith The Venture website. The more votesthe company gets on this site, the bigger theshare of $250 000 funding Lumkani will re-ceive.V Visit www.lumkani.com for more information.

CRIME

Houseburglarieson the riseAn increase in house burglaries and

robberies is on the Lansdowne policestation’s radar.

The spotlight has been placed on the is-sue followinga spate of break-ins lastweek.“This has raised concerns as most of

these incidents occurred in the Kenwynarea,” says police spokesperson SergeantNkululeko Mnyaka.“We urge residents to ensure that their

houses are safeguardedwith a proper secu-rity device or they should have someone inthe house at all times. Liaise with yourneighbourswhenyouare leaving thehousein order to keep an eye,” Mnyaka says.A De LaHaye Road homewas burgled on

21 April at 12:10, says Mnyaka.“The complainant arrived home and

then heard the alarm. He went inside thehouse and saw two unknown men inside,”Mnyaka says.The suspectswent through the frontwin-

dow. The homeowner gave chase andcaught oneman. The policewere called andthe man was arrested.At the Elrio Mews complex in Sandown

Road a resident ensured all his doors andwindows were locked when he left hishome on 22 April.He told his helper to hide the spare key.

Later that day he noticed that the door wasopen and there was no sign of forced entry.“On further investigation the complain-

ant noticed a laptop, hard drive, softwarerecording device, drill and a flash drivewere stolen,” Mnyaka says.On Thursday 23 April at 06:45 a Brock-

hurst Road homeowner left his home forwork. When he returned he found that hishome was broken into.Jewellery to the value of R20 000 was sto-

len. No suspects have been arrested.On Friday 24 April at 18:45 at a home in

MayburyRoad the complainant heard a ve-hicle stop in front of the house and thoughtit was her boss.“She went to check through the window,

and saw three men in the yard. Anotherman was waiting outside. The woman sawone of them holding an iron bar and heardthem breaking the door,” Mnyaka ex-plains.The woman ran outside to the back.

From there she saw the men move aroundthe house. Police arrived.It is unclear what was stolen and no ar-

rests have been made.On Sunday between 13:20 to 17:30 in

Range Road the homeowner left her homeand returned home to find her dining roomcupboards were open, Mnyaka says.“Upon further investigation she noticed

that her kitchen door was smashed openand a laptop, digital camera and jewelleryto the value of R14 000 weremissing,”Mny-aka says. No arrests have been made.Colonel Jan Alexander encourages resi-

dents to take ownership of their streets.“Establish neighbourhood watches and

street committees in partnership with thepolice to ensure clamping down of crimeand criminal activities in your areas.”

Drug dealing now a bike ride straight to jailA 39-year-old cyclist was arrested for ille-gal possession of drugs in the Manenbergpolicing area.Officers attached to the Crime Preven-

tion Unit found 300 mandrax tablets on theman on Monday 27 April at 15:30.The officers were patrolling near Suzan

Court in Heideveld, says police spokesper-son Lieutenant Ian Bennet.“They noticed a person acting suspi-

ciously as he was cycling. Officers thentried to stop himbut he droppedhis bicycleand ran. Police then managed to cornerhim at an address in Winterberg Road,”Bennett says.“It seems as if bicycles are now used to

courier drugs within the area. [They are]even using teenagers as drug mules,” Ben-nett says.“We are quite aware of this trend and

will not show any leniency to persons thatallow themselves to be used in this way.”Station commander Brigadier Andre

vanDyk gives aword of caution to parents.He saysparentsmust discourage their chil-dren from doing favours for “unscrupu-

lous people within their area”.“This could see your child end up in seri-

ous trouble.”The 39-year-old man was arrested and

will appear in the Athlone Magistrate’sCourt soon.V Anyone with information on crimes can contact theManenberg police on 021 699 9400.

Roads to get a makeoverSeveral heavily used roads in the southernsuburbs will get a facelift.The total value of the projects is about

R170m, says Brett Heron, mayoral commit-tee member for transport.“The majority of these projects are taking

place in areas with historical backlogs of in-frastructure provision and where the needfor improved roads, sidewalks and publictransport facilities is the greatest,” he says.“These projects entail the construction of

sidewalks in Grassy Park, the upgrading ofpedestrian facilities and roads in Athloneand Eerste River, the upgrading of concreteroads in Gugulethu and major resurfacingand rehabilitation along Jakes Gerwel Driveand Weltevreden Road in Philippi.”The upgrades will be done as follows:

. In Grassy Park there will be the construc-tion of sidewalks along sections of Perth and

Italian Roads, Rooikrans Avenue, Fisher-man’s Walk and Prince George Street to thevalue of R4m.The sections along Perth Road and Prince

George Street are completed, those alongItalian Road and Rooikrans Avenue willcommence in May and the section alongFisherman’s Walk is nearing completion.. In Athlone the improvement of pedestrianfacilities and wheelchair access along AdenAvenue from Jan Smuts Drive to LawrenceRoad, as well as the introduction of trafficcalming measures at two intersections willbe completed to the value of R2.2m. Thisproject started late last year.. InGatesville, SurreyEstate,HanoverParkand Primrose Park the southbound carriage-way of Jakes Gerwel Drive between Klipfon-tein andGovanMbeki roads andof thenorth-bound carriageway between Govan Mbeki

Road and the N2 freeway will be resurfaced.The tender amounts to about R38.5m and isset to start in July.. In Philippi the rehabilitation of Weltevre-den Road between Govan Mbeki Road andJakes Gerwel Drive is also set to start thismonth. The contract is valued at R24.1m andentails extensive stormwater upgrades, theconstruction of sidewalks and the resurfac-ing of both carriageways.. Other projects will also take place in Eer-steriver and Gugulethu.“We are committed to a programme of re-

ONLINE EDUCATION

Your studiescan nowstart in JuneUCT has announced it will offer a

mid-year intake in its online ad-vanced diploma.

This has been made possible throughits “Across Africa” partnership withleading online education company Get-Smarter.The partnership successfully

launched its first online advanced diplo-ma in business project management anda postgraduate diploma in managementin marketing in February.Strong demand for these diplomas re-

sulted in applicant numbers far exceed-ing targets, attractingmore than 1500 ap-plications, leading to 460 enrolments.To meet this demand, UCT has an-

nounced that it will be launching a mid-year intake of students for the advanceddiploma in business project manage-ment. This extra programme starts inJune.

Flexible accessAcross Africa MD Jacques Rousseausays a benefit of online education is itsflexibility. “You can study when andwhere you like, so long as you completetasks on time.”“With a mid-year intake for the ad-

vanced diploma, we increase that flexi-bility further. Someworking profession-als might find that their workflow suitsa February start, but for others, thatmight be the busiest time of their year.They would now be able to start thecourse in June instead,” he says.GetSmarter CMO Ryan O’Mahoney

says online education is clearly filling agap in professional education.“15% of South Africa’s school leavers

were accommodated at tertiary educa-tion institutions last year, which meansover 2 million South Africans aged be-tween 18 and 24 are not currently en-rolled in tertiary education,” he says.Only 1.7% of our population completes

a university education, he says.Now, with postgraduate programmes

being offered online, students can accessquality, top-tier education from one ofAfrica’s leading universities.Access to postgraduate programmes is

also often hampered by prospective stu-dents not having completed bachelorsdegrees.However, Across Africa offers a solu-

tion to this in the formof an online recog-nition of prior learning (RPL) course.This involves a two-week assessment ofreadiness for postgraduate study, and isoffered cheaply to students who do nothave a tertiary qualification.

Online opportunityMore than 400 students are currently en-rolled in UCT’s first online postgraduatequalifications. Although the coursework is presented online through Get-Smarter’s virtual learning environment,postgraduate students have access to allof UCT’s resources such as the computerlabs and online libraries.Rob Paddock, chief academic officer at

GetSmarter, says it’s encouraging to seeso many universities responding to thisopportunity and actively exploring theprovision of online and distance educa-tion programmes.“I probably receive one call a week

fromanew institution looking for adviceon how to start offering online pro-grammes. I think this is hugely positive,and a great indication of the growth wecan expect in the online education mar-ket over the next 10 years in South Afri-ca,” he says.

Learn, unlearn, relearnSam Paddock, CEO of GetSmarter, has avision for the future of online learningin South Africa.“Today’s fast-paced, ever-changing

workplace is hyper competitive. For pre-vious generations ofworkers, universityprogrammeswould set themup for a suc-cessful life-long career,” Paddock says,adding that “today’s knowledge workershave no such luxury. The challenge – oropportunity – for today’sworkingprofes-sional is to learn, unlearn and relearnthroughout their working lives to ad-vance their careers and create a betterlife for themselves and their families”.V Visit www.getsmarter.co.za/postgraduate or call021 447 7565 to learn more.

A website is set to provide useful informa-tion that may help residents, pupils, stu-dents, educators and visitors on water andsanitation.TheCity ofCapeTown’swater and sanita-

tion department has launched an improvedsite, loaded with interactive diagrams, vid-eo clips, posters and brochures, says ErnestSonnenberg, mayoral committee memberfor utility services.“For instance, residentswill be able to ac-

cess a detailed explanation about water tar-iffs and how we bill them for water usage,and how to apply for a water managementdevice, or to be connected to the City’s wa-ter system,” he says.The website has a strong educational fo-

cus aimed at increasing awareness aboutwater and sanitation issues as well as ex-

plaining the department, Sonnenberg ex-plains.“Residents can learn about where their

water comes from or what happens to theirwastewater,” he says.Thewebsite boasts useful information for

those interested in water and the way inwhich the City manages it, Sonnenbergsays.“Apart from providing residents and

businesses with information about tariffsand billing, visitors to the website can alsoaccess departmental contact details,” hesays.It also aims to encourage residents to par-

gust,with the final scheduled for September.They are competing in the three official

languages in theWestern Cape, explains Be-linda Walker, mayoral committee memberfor community services and special projects.“The competition addresses reading chal-

encouraging a reading culture among ourchildren. Literacy is a gateway to opportuni-ty so competitions like this allow us to trulymake progress possible, together with ouryoung residents,” she says.“Reading helps children to improve lan-

guage and listening skills. It improves fluen-cy, which helps pupils become confidentspeakerswho are able to express themselvescoherently. It also strengthens their abilityto comprehend information and concepts.Improved reading abilities can lead tomarked improvements in a child’s perform-ance in other subjects as they’re able to readand understand instructions,” she says.Pupils who are interested in participating

must approach their schools, who in turncan liaise with their local libraries for de-tails.

len in just the last week.A car was stolen in St Aidans Road on

What does it mean to be a man?A few decades ago, masculinity meant working hard to

earn an honest living and provide for your family.It meant leading your family in such a way that they

would follow your example.Masculinity meant protecting your family because you

loved them.But today, our ideas of masculinity have become

warped. We pressurise young men to earn big money, tolead fast lives and to achieve their goals no matter thecost. We have thrown family values out the window,replacing them with the images we see on TV.An honest living has been replaced by earning a quick

buck.Leadership has been replaced by dominance.Protection has been replaced by violence.Many young men today have little idea of the values

needed to raise a family, support their community orbuild a career.We can hardly blame them, with so many children

raised by single mothers.With no father figures to teach young boys how to be-

have, can we be surprised when they turn to crime andgangsterism or become abusive?The only providers they see are gangsters. Leadership

and protection have given way to domestic violence andsubstance abuse.Teaching boys to be responsible men is a task single

mothers cannot do alone. It needs the buy-in of the com-munity.Young boys need to see the men in their communities

as an example of responsible men, men who provide forand protect their families.They need to see men rolling up their sleeves and be-

coming involved with the community, imparting lessonsand providing an example to follow.

Cry my belovedhomeMy home – Manenberg.There’s no place like home.A place where the people who are the

most willing to throw their lives awayare dominant, a place where destructionand terror rules, this devastation of acommunity. My home.A place I have loved and grown to

hate. Humanity does not lurk here, onlyselfish animals that are willing to doanything in their power to get what theywant even if they have to tear their owncommunity down.This capitalist country, which sells our

people, hope for a democratic land leavesus with a community controlled by asystem of dictatorship which leaves ourland and our people degraded by thetyranny of our street tyrants.These tyrants destroy dreams and scar

our women and children from the core tothe surface without hesitation.Is this all that this life has to offer or

is there more to this than what meets theeye?

It’s time to call inthe presidentThis past weekend our community wasonce again in mourning as we laid torest four youngsters shot and killed inthe prime of their youth.Over the past few months we have

buried so many young people, all thevictims of gang warfare. Across ourcommunity boundaries we see andhear of the same – the killing of youngpeople, children and innocent citizens.As community leaders and organisa-

tions and service providers we havedone our utmost best to stem thisterrible wave of gang warfare in ourcommunities and on the Cape Flats.We have had peace marches, protest

marches, picketing, church services,imbizos, meetings . . . and so theendless list goes on.At most of these valiant attempts

and initiatives we had the minister(s),government officials and departmentspresent. We are presented (and bom-barded) with proposals and pro-grammes, all worth millions of rands,but still the bullets continue to fly,still people are dying, still our commu-nities are being held hostage by aminority group of thugs.

The reality is that the police arelosing ground. The enemy have more“resources” in funds, weapons andmanpower.It is time for the national govern-

ment and our president to step in. It’stime to put political differences aside,listen to the plight of our people andsend in the SANDF.It’s time to secure our communities,

provide the support the police needs,it’s now desperate times calling fordesperate measures.It’s our constitutional right to be

protected; it’s our right to call forhelp. If the defense force can bedeployed to address xenophobia, thenthe same can be done for us. This waris beyond xenophobia.We call on community leaders and

structures across the boundaries tojoin the Parkwood estate communityin this initiative to engage the nation-al government and the president onthis serious matter.It’s time to take back our communi-

ties.PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPS

ished for its mistakes? I mean, seriously,how on earth can it put the power off foralmost five hours? What about stuff inthe fridges and freezers that can go off?Who is going to pay for that – Eskom?It doesn’t even have enough money to

keep the lights on, where will it still get

money to pay for damages?I would also like to know where is the

money going to? Every time you hear thegovernment gave so much and so muchto help Eskom and in spite of loadshed-ding, we still pay skyhigh for electricity!So please tell us, where is the money

going to? We have the right to know.After all, most of it is our hard-earnedmoney.
