Up to seven people share a room on this property. “It is not nice to live like this, but only two people have permanent jobs, so we are stuck here,” Davids says.

Davids shares a room with her brother and four grandchildren. While life would be easier with the planned services, she main- tains people need houses. “There are so many families living in just one house. We have to share one kitchen and one toilet, which is a big inconvenience. I will probably get a house when I’m dead.” Mayoral Committee member for Human Settlements Tandeka Gqa- da says according to the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, building plans first need to be submitted before a wendy house can be constructed. “However, if someone is already there without plans and if the City does not have an order to evict, then the City, as per the backyard- er policy and their constitutional obligations, will provide the back- yarders with access to services during the roll-out of the pro- gramme,” she confirms.

Next week ELAINE SWANEPOEL

The South African Social Security Agency(Sassa) has since the beginning of this yearconcluded about 840 investigations into cor-ruption in social grants.Hundreds of thousands of rands worth of

stolen money has also been recovered.More than 240 Sassa staff have also been

prosecuted for corruption and fraud.These successes were announced earlier

this week during Sassa’s first anti-corrup-tion conference.Sassa CEO Virginia Peterson says since

the introduction of the biometric system inMarch, they received 1800 cases of corrup-tion and fraud.

The cases already settled had a combinedmonetary value of R4.5m.“The biometric grant payment system us-

es the beneficiary’s fingerprints. Voice re-cordings are entered into a computer sys-tem to prevent allowances being paid to thewrong person,” Peterson explained.More than nine million people have been

registered in this way.Social development minister Bathabile

Dlamini said corruption and fraud are rifeboth in the department and at Sassa.“We are very concerned that most of the

corruption and fraud which has come tolight was committed by people appointed toserve the community. Sassa and depart-ment officials will, therefore, also be regis-

tered on the biometric system in the nexttwo months,” Dlamini said.This will allow employees’ activities to be

tracked.She also said most fraudsters arrested so

far are women.The department is investigating a range

of possibilities to make monthly grant pay-outs easier and thus wipe out the chance offraud.“One of these is the possibility of person-

ally handing over pensioners’ allowances,”she said. However, Dlamini says unscrupu-lous money lenders and irregular burialschemes are currently the major obstaclesfor the department in their fight againstpoverty.

The Mandalay community isreeling in shock after a womanwas brutally murdered in herKent Street home.Khetiwe Makaula (39) was

killed after four intrudersstormed into her home on Tues-day night demanding money.The victim’s husband, Paka-

mile Makaula (42), was alleged-ly abducted by the suspects andleft unharmed in Gugulethu.In an exclusive interview

with People’s Post, he says he isunsure of who would commitsuch a horrific crime.A teary-eyed Pakamile says

they had just returned homefrom their butchery in Philippiwhen the armed robbers en-tered through the kitchen door.“They pointed a gun to my

head and demanded we handover whatever money we had inthe house. I told themwhere themoney was. The men got theirhands on R16 000, but said thatwasnot enough,” thevisiblydis-traught man says.After ransacking the main

bedroom, the suspects boundthe husband’s hands togetherbefore throwing him in thetrunk of his car.The Makaula’s family car, a

Hyndai Sonata, was used as thegetaway vehicle.“They drove around 45 min-

utes before abandoning me inGugulethu,” Pakamile says.He says the suspects “popped

the boot open” before fleeing onfoot.“I was sure they would kill

me. As I lay in the boot I couldhear they were travelling on agravel road. I thought theymustbe taking me to a place wherethey could burnme while in thecar or shoot me,” Pakamilesays.But after severalminutes eve-

rything grew quiet.It is alleged two pedestrians

refused to assist Pakamile whowas still lying in the boot of thecar.“Eventually after explaining

myself for the third time, a manassisted me and called the po-lice.”

Authorities responded quick-ly, arriving within 15 minutesafter receiving the call.Pakamile urged the officers to

take him home to check on hiswife and children.“When we got to the house,

my son (4) woke up while mydaughter (2) still lay asleep. Iwas frantically searching formywife, but the police got to herfirst.”The wife’s body was found in

the room next to the main bed-room.“Police officers would not al-

lowme to see my wife. The doorof the room was ajar and all Isaw was blood,” Pakamile adds.Provincial police spokesper-

son FC van Wyk says police re-ceived the complaint at 00:30 onWednesday morning.“The victim’s throat was slit.

She was declared dead at thescene.”Murder, house robbery and

kidnapping cases are being in-vestigated.Meanwhile, residents say

they are struggling to come toterms with the murder.A neighbour who asks not to

be named says her home wasrobbed in March this year.“The robbers came in through

the front door while we wereasleep. They walked into myson’s bedroom and took his cell-phone and PlayStation fromright under his nose. One of mysons saw them and he was toldto be quiet as theymade off withvaluable items,” the womansays.She has been living in Kent

Street since July 2008.She was good friends with the

Makaulas ever since theymoved into the neighbourhoodin August that year.“Khetiwe was my neighbour,

my friend, my everything. Hermurder has left me with somany unanswered questions.The robbers took the cash andmany valuable items includingaplasmaTVandaDVD.Sowhatwas the killing for?” sheseethes.Anyone with information can

call Detective Warrant OfficerDeon de Villiers on 084 631 2500or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Paying your municipal bills hasbecome a whole lot easier.The new Lentegeur Civic Office

opened its doors onMonday, allow-ing residents to pay all their utilitybills and make bookings for com-munity halls all under one roof.Construction began in May last

year and was completed on sched-ule thismonth at a cost of R 22.67m.

Mayor Patricia de Lille officiallyopened the centre along with otherCity of Cape Town officials.“The Lentegeur Civic Offices

have been developed in a precinctwhich includes the clustering ofCity Services, providing the com-munity with convenient access,”she says.The subcouncil offices will be

open between 8:00 and 16:30 whilethe cash office is open from 8:00 un-til 15:30, confirms subcouncil man-

ager Raphael Martin.De Lille says development with-

in this precinct is an example ofhow integration and sustainabilitycan be achieved through carefulplanning and design.“The new facility will contribute

to the the Lentegeur Station Pre-cinct as a civic precinct which hasbeen planned and implementedover the last eight years.”The civic office is also close to

public transport interchanges.Woodlands resident Janis Mar-

tin says this is an added conven-ience, as people will no longerhave to walk long distances frompublic transport interchanges topay their utility bills.The new offices is a “one-stop

shop” for people’s convenience.Subcouncil chairperson Eddie

Andrews says the current infra-structure in the area is not suffi-cient to fulfil the administrativerequirements aswell as communi-ty needs.The Lentegeur Station Precinct

now includes a library, clinic, sub-council offices and chamber, acash office, community halls, im-proved bus and taxi facilities, im-proved pedestrian walkways andadditional area lighting, as well asa police station.With the use of innovative eco-

friendly and sustainable designs,the civic offices embody the prin-ciples of a 21st century building,City officials say.The facility has three storeys,

the third level housing a roof gar-den allowing for food gardens toflourish.With wheelchair ramps and an

elevator, the building is universal-ly accessible.Eight artists from Mitchell’s

Plain were also chosen to createartworks commissioned for thenew building.And 12 role models have also

been chosen to be included in theLentegeur Heroes Walk where aplaque of their faces have been putup on poles along Melkbos Road.Role models included in the

project are Marol Appie, JamesBhemgee, Ryland Fisher, JanineJones, Mel Jones, MoeneebJosephs, Michelle Ohlsson, There-sa Solomon, Mario van Rooy, EJvon Lyric and Athol Williams.

Shackdwellers living in Strandfontein arefed up with living in substandard struc-tures and are now demanding houses.They are rejecting an unwanted informal

settlement upgrade which was scheduled tobegin at the end of October.The upgrade, or reblocking, is being done

in a bid to curb squatter camps from mush-rooming out of control.A recent influx of residents from outside

Strandfontein to the area’s four informalsettlements has City of Cape Town officialson high alert.Residents from Masincedane, 7de Laan,

City Mission and Opperman’s Oord aregnashing their teeth in frustration and ac-cuse council of not communicating withthem properly about the upgrade.Residents are sick and tired of being left

in the dark.The shackdwellers say they do not want

the upgrade to go ahead, but want properhouses instead.Gouwa Haidari (41) of Masincedane,

Strandfontein’s biggest informal settle-ment, says she is glad the reblocking hasbeen delayed.Having lived inMasincedane for 10 years,

she says the uncertainty of what the re-blocking will bring is causing her untold

grief. “I do not want tomove from one shackto another. Many other residents feel thesame way. We want houses,” she says.Ruwaydah Curnow of Opperman’s Oord

onCampRoad says only the informal settle-ment’s committee has been informed aboutthe proposed reblocking but this has back-fired.“We were expected to inform other resi-

dents, but the community wants City offi-cials to engage directly with them,” shesays.Shackdwellers had recently feared they

would have to dig deep to foot the bill forthe upgrade.But ward councillor Irma Jackson

quelled their fears.“Only those who are by the means will be

expected to contribute to the reblocking,”she says.“We do not want to just give handouts. A

small fee of no more than R1000 will beasked for.”At the time of going to print, City officials

were unable to confirm why the reblockinghad not yet begun as scheduled.Subcouncil manager Desiree Mentoor

says: “I am not aware of when the reblock-ing will begin or why it has not started asscheduled. Subcouncil is awaiting those de-tails from the relevant department.”Jacksonwas also unable to confirmwhen

the upgrade would begin.

The Law Reform Commission has en-tered thehome stretchwith an investi-gation into the possible decriminalisa-tion of adult prostitution.The commission started its research

four years ago.Dellene Clark, State legal advisor

and researcher for the commissionleading the prostitution investigation,said the report is currently beingdrafted for submission to the full com-mission. “I can’t yet say what our rec-ommendations are as the full commis-sion first has to discuss the report.”During the four years of research,

Clark and her team consulted widelywith stakeholders and the public. It isknown that there is a strong feeling inspecific circles that adult prostitutionbe decriminalised and that the lawmust regulate this industry.There is also a very strong feeling

in parts of the community, especiallyamong religious circles, that prostitu-tion should remain a crime.Whatever the commissiondecides, a

bill has to be compiled and sent to jus-ticeminister Jeff Radebe for approval.

The search is on for a hit-and-run driver.AWestridge couple is aching for justice af-

ter their son was knocked down by a speed-ing motorist on the corners of Park Avenueand Bordeaux Street.William (78) and Emalina (74) Wentzel say

their son, Granville (55) was on his wayhome from a friend when he was rammedshortly after 21:00 on Saturday 19 October –the day before his birthday.Rushed to hospital in a critical condition,

Granville spent nearly two weeks in ICU atGroote Schuur Hospital before being trans-ferred to a general ward.With crushed ribs, a punctured liver, a

broken arm, internal bleeding and unable tobreathe on his own, Granville has a long re-covery ahead.Details of the accident are sketchy, but ac-

cording to witnesses the hit-and-run driverhad been speeding down Park Avenue to-wardsWespoort Drive in a white bakkie. Hewas also allegedly driving in thewrong lane.The family is now searching for clarity.“There was another female driver at the

scene. She was in a green Golf, according towitnesses. We are hoping she can shed somelight on what happened that night,” themother says.Granville is a father of three and was em-

ployed as a general worker at a fashion re-tailer.“It is traumatic to contemplate that a per-

son can think so little of someone else’s life,”a teary-eyed Emalina says.“What if that was their son or daughter?”The pain of amother in an instant like this

is indescribable, she says. “If youare amoth-

er you will understand.”Getting that phonecall from the paramed-

ics was numbingly painful, William says.He was watching soccer when he heard

the crash just metres from his home.“I got the shock of my life when I heard

what had happened. I woke my wife up andexplained to her what I had just been toldabout our son,” William says.After receiving the phonecall, he immedi-

ately rushed to the scene.“There were so many people surrounding

the ambulance. I was so confused. Everyonewas shouting atme, tellingmewhat I shoulddo,” the elderly man says.Granville remains in hospital. Due to the

extent of his injuries, it is at this stage un-clear when he will be discharged.“He is a bit confused. He is speaking like

it happened yesterday,” his mother says.

Mayoral Committee member for Safetyand Security JP Smith confirms the City’sFire and Rescue Services responded to theaccident at 21:36. “A fire engine, rescue vehi-cle and paramedics responded to the scene.Fire and Rescue Services officials stabilisedand treated the patient until the arrival ofparamedics, who then transported the pa-tient to hospital,” he says.A traffic officerwas on scene and recorded

what particulars he could. He reported theincident to Mitchell’s Plain Police for fur-ther investigation.“According to the traffic officer who was

on the scene, there was no witness report,”Smith adds.However, police say they have no records

of the incident.V Anyone with information can call William or EmalinaWentzel on (021) 392 6428 or 072 482 5171.

Young drug pushers plying their illegaltrade in a Lentegeur park have their daysnumbered.Residents and police areworking together

to oust the criminals operating at the IvyStreet public facility.A young mother, who wants to be known

only as Fatima, says the park has become ahub for the drug trade, as a “problem bunchof youth prevent the little ones from playingin the park”.“Drugs are being stored in the park. I call

the police and tell them exactly where it isstored, but no arrests are ever made,” shefumes.Fed up with children smuggling drugs in

the children’s facility, she says parents needto take charge.“Parents know their children are up to no

good, but prefer to turn a blind eye and donothing. Report your child to the police tomake our community safer,” she insists.Police officers say curbing the drug trade

run by minors is challenging.Lentegeur station commander Colonel

Elizabeth Hermanus says officers have noright to search minors without their par-ents’ consent.“This makes our job very challenging. If

you can identify the suspect, I will personal-ly come out there to follow up.”Lentegeur West sector commander War-

rantOfficerMarius Pieterse says drug push-ers are storing drugs in tyres.He encourages the public to find alterna-

tivematerials to beautify open spaces to pre-vent this from happening.The rights of the youngsters using the

park cannot be violated just to please thecommunity, he maintains.“Weare only allowed to operatewithin the

framework of the law. Our officers often dosearches in the park, but never find anydrugs.”However, search-and-seize operations at

houses are more successful, Pieterse adds.When People’s Post visited the park, a

group of youth were seen sitting at the en-trance, but no children could be seen play-ing.Speaking at a public meeting hosted by

Lentegeur police management last week, aresident says parents should not harbourcriminals.“Don’t protect your child if he is a crimi-

nal. Report him to the police,” he urges.LentegeurWest/NewWoodlands Commu-

nity Police Subforum acting charipersonKamaal Salie is pleading with residents tonot get despondent when reporting crime.“The amount of crime tip-offs reported to

police add up and make the community’splea even stronger.”DetectiveheadatLentegeurPolice Station

Lieutenant Colonel Sagadevan Reddy en-courages residents to come forward with in-formation.

“You can give tip-offs anonymously. Weneed the community to become involved.The more arrests we make, the safer yourcommunity.”Harbouring suspects is a criminal offence,

Reddy adds.Lentegeur Community Policing Forum

chairperson Basil Coetzee says the commu-nity have a role to play in combating crime.“Concerns raised at publicmeetings feed thepolice’s crime-fighting strategy,” he says.Ward councillor Goawa Timm says the

selling of drugs is a major problem in allparks.

“Dumping was previously a problem inthis park, but now that it has been upgradedpeople are using it to sell drugs,” she says.With no immediate solution to the problem,Timm encourages residents to continue toreport criminals to the police.“I am not sure how we will resolve the

problem, but I will work with the communi-ty to oust drug pushers from public spaces.”V To report crime call the Lentegeur Police Station on(021) 377 5000 or CrimeStop on 08600 10111.V Alternatively call the Lentegeur Station Commanderon (021) 377 5001 or sector commander Warrant Of-ficer Marius Pieterse on 079 894 1684.

Owners of home-run businesses fromMitchell’s Plain to Grassy Park are upin arms at a company going door-to-

door to co-opt them to retain the firm’s finan-cial services.They claim “inspectors” from DTB Trad-

ing are approaching them to register theirbusinesses with the company, saying if theydo not comply, their businesses would beshut down.A home industry owner also alleges she

was left with the impression DTB operatesunder the auspices of the City of Cape Townas well as the police as the business ownerhas a ranking commonly used by an officer.A tuckshop owner for 19 years, Sheila Hol-

land alleges a DTB inspector told her LawEnforcementwould close her business if shedid not sign up with the company.“I became worried as I have a license to

run my shop. It was the first time I heardof DTB and having to register with them,”Holland says. “The inspector said the totalcost of registration is R3200 – R500 depositto receive a temporary permit and the R2700balance over four months, before you re-ceive a permit.”She further claims DTB inspectors have

visited other home businesses in Retreat.“I’veheard they’ve also been inGrassyPark,Mitchell’s Plain and Bonteheuwel,” Hollandsays.“I’m really afraid I will be forced to close

my shop. I know a tuckshop owner in Park-wood Estate who closed her shop becauseshe couldn’t afford DTB’s fees.”

Foreigners targetedHolland questions whether the registra-

tion of home industries is being enforced bythe City.“We don’t know if it’s legal. They’ve been

targeting foreign tuckshopowners, too. Ifwedon’t register with them, they’ve told usthey’ll blacklist our businesses and close it.”Tuckshop owner Susan Fick is also con-

cerned as shewon’t be able to afford theDTBfees.

Similarlyhair salonownerFerozaDanielssays she nearly closed her business as shecould not afford the registration fee.

False impressionLocal ward councillor Melanie Arendse

says her constituents alerted her to DTBTrading’s presence in the community.“I went to one of DTB’s sessions at the

Grassy Park Library and told people theydid not have to register with the company,”she says.“They only need a City license – at R273

– to run their businesses. I also told themDTB’s Gregg Fick is exploiting them by cre-ating a false impression of his role in thecommunity.“Some people demanded their money

back. Gregg refers to himself as senior su-perintendent, which gives people a false im-

pression of what he does, and that he worksfor a governmental structure.”She says people who operate home busi-

nesses and live in City-owned homes shouldregister their businesses with the Depart-ment of Housing.New home business owners also need to

apply to the City.“Business owners who sell food need a

health license, too,” she says.But Fick counters all claims, saying DTB

is a private company which assists peopleto register their businesses.“We advise people to get licenses and help

foreign nationals register their businesses,as we’ve found the process takes longer forthem. We charge them between R500 andR800. I’ve even accused the City of misusingfines towards foreign national businessowners,” says Fick, who is named as DTB

Trading’s provincial head on a social mediawebsite for professionals.

TransparentFick says business owners come to DTB

to register their businesses.The company’s documents state exactly

what their mission is. “If people don’t wantour services, they don’t have to registerwithus. We want to be transparent. People paya R500 deposit, after which they can decideif they want more of our services. Our feesare R3200, which include association fees,bookkeeping, mediation and accountantfees for three years.”Fick claims officials from the Department

of Trade and Industry and the SouthAfricanRevenue Services have attended their ses-sions.

Apply at planning officeA freelance “inspector” for DTB says she

believes in the company’s work, as it hashelped many foreign business owners regis-ter their businesses with the City.She met Fick four months ago when he

came on to her property to register Bangla-deshis living with her.“I collect the R500 deposits which I give to

Gregg and business owners pay the balanceinto the account,” she says.“There have been so many disputes about

DTB and their registration process.”Mayoral Committee member for Econom-

ic, Environmental and Spatial PlanningGarreth Bloor confirms DTB is not contract-ed by the City, but says he cannot confirmwhether other spheres of government mayhave contracted DTB.“Business owners and residents are ad-

vised to check for City identification whenpeople come to theirhomes.AnyCity officialwho performs this kind of function carriestheir (City) ID card,” Bloor says.“It is not necessary for residents to employ

Mr Fick to regularise their business interms of the Zoning Scheme. They shouldvisit their local planning office to apply forthe land use application.”He says the City won’t just close down

businesses but will “first assist” applicants.

HOME INDUSTRY: COUNCIL THE LEGAL ROUTE

No dirty business, say ‘inspectors’REGISTRATION: Home busi­ness owners around the cityhave mixed feelings aboutregistering their businesseswith DTB Trading.

TINA BURGER ANDTASMIN CUPIDO

Think two beers at a watering hole stillleaves you perfectly capable of driv-ing? That extra cold one could lead to

you spending six years in the slammer orover R100 000 poorer.As the silly season approaches, Law En-

forcement and Traffic Services are out infull force in an attempt to keep the streetssafe and free of drunk drivers.In a bid to reduce the road carnage, a call

has been made to reduce the alcohol limitin line with international standards.

One drink too manyThe legal limit in South Africa for breath

alcohol content is 0.24mg per 1 000ml or ablood alcohol limit of 0.05g per 100ml.In literal terms, this equals two thirds of

a beer or spirit cooler with 5% alcohol con-tent; 75ml of red orwhitewineperhourwithan alcohol content of 12% to 14%; and up toone 25ml tot of alcohol per hour for whiskeyor brandy drinkers.Two drinks in one hour will more than

likely put you over the legal limit.The Automobile Association of South Af-

rica (AA) continues to lobby for the bloodalcohol concentration limit be brought inline with world standards, says spokesper-son Graeme Scala.“The crisis on South Africa’s roads de-

mands a tougher approach. The AA has forsome time proposed that the 0.05% limit bereduced to 0.02%,” he says.“This allows some leeway formedications

that contain alcohol, but still emphasisesthat one alcoholic drink puts you over thelimit. A blood alcohol limit of 0.02% meansthat drinking evenonebeerwith 4%alcoholper volume will put an individual over thelimit.”Should you be caught driving under the

influence of alcohol you could face up to sixyears in prison or be slapped with a fine ofup to R120 000.

A lesson learntTwo years of court appearances and thou-

sands in legal fees taught one driver to steerclear of taking to the road after hitting thebottle.The man, who was arrested for driving

under the influence three years ago, says hedrove into a roadblock after leaving a party.After initial questioning, he was asked to

step out of his vehicle. “The officer instruct-ed me to phone someone to collect my caras Iwould need to accompany them to a test-ing centre for blood samples. I spent thatnight in the holding cells at a police sta-tion,” he recalls.The next day he made his first of many

court appearances.“Over the next two years I had a court ap-

pearance each month; with each appear-ance the lawyer I appointed charged up toR1 500,” he says.“The case was postponed for several rea-

sons, including a delay in the results of theblood tests, as well as a change in the stateprosecutor.”The case was finally closed and he was

sentenced to 250 hours of community serv-ice. “I am still doing the time for my unnec-essary actions; it is something I will neversubject myself or my family to again,” hesays. “This was not only an expensive eye-opener for me, but also for my friends andfamily.”Scala says evidentiary breathalyser

printouts are admissible as evidence incourt. “If jail terms were handed down fordrinking and driving, the public would be-comemore sensitised to the issue,” he says.“Drivers who ensure they are sober will

have nothing to fear, but those who drinkwill be removed from the roads before theycan cause harm.”

Think before you drinkTraffic Services spokesperson Richard

Coleman says every driver has a responsi-bility when they drink alcohol and plan todrive.“If you have used any substance which

could affect your driving ability, let some-one who has not had a drink drive your ve-hicle. If no one is available, call a lift servicecompany,” he urges.

housing minister Bonginkosi Madikizela,explained that the department receives a“limited budget” from national govern-ment, which is then channelled to munici-palities.He said land cannot summarily be devel-

oped without enough money.Lili has alleged there is land in the vicini-

ty of Canal Walk which Transnet had madeavailable for development, but that the de-partment did not want to use it.Oom said the department does not know

of such an offer, and neither the departmentnor the minister can respond to such vaguestatements. “Should we get a specific ad-dress or erf number, we would have a clearanswer,” Oom said.Lili and the parade’s other leader Loyiso

Nkohla was part of a group who met withMadikizela on 10 October when it wasagreed a revised memorandum would beprovided.“But nothing was supplied,” Oom said.He continued that land aroundCapeTown

is scarce, and much of it cannot be devel-oped as it is prone to flooding or there arealready many people occupying it, makingit difficult to relocate them.Madikizela last week said he understood

some protesters have legitimate grievances.“My department is committed to solve it,

but we cannot have political agendas de-tracting from the issues,” he said. “The factthat the leaders of the previousmarch failedto supply my office with a memorandumwith more information in spite of an under-

TAMMY PETERSEN@TammyPetersen87

Hebattles towheel himself through the sandand stones to get to the self-made, carpet-covered “ramp” leading to the rickety frontdoor of his wendy house.Brandon Roland forges on, bravely veer-

ing through obstacles to make it home.He is one of thousands of disabled people

living in dire and unsuitable conditions, pa-tiently waiting to reach the top of the hous-ing waiting list.And despite wheelchair-bound applicants

being given priority status, activists say toolittle is being done to grant the disabledtheir right to suitable housing.Roland has been on the list for 11 years

and although he refuses to “sit back andwait for a handout”, the meagre wage hemakes as an assistant in a fish tackle shopwill never be enough to secure him a bond.“Asa father, Iwant toprovide formy fami-

ly,” he says, tickling his eight-month-olddaughter. “But being in awheelchair is a se-rious disadvantage. Council claims to prior-itise the needs of the disabled, but those arejust emptywords. I would like nothingmorethan to be self-sufficient, but this wheel-chair is standing in my way of earning afixed salary and buying my own house.”His tiny, neat home has been burgled

countless times by opportunistic thieveswho know he would be unable to put up afight.“I have nowhere else to go. I have come

a long way from living in a squatter camptowhere I am today. But Iwantmore formy-self and my family. I don’t want to die here,still waiting for my reference number to becalled.”

The waiting gameAtotal of 3 313 disabledpeople fromacross

the city are currently on the housing wait-ing list, confirmsMayoral Committee mem-ber for Human Settlements TandekaGqada.These applicants need to be registered as

wheelchair-bound to be prioritised.“Throughregistration theywill be consid-

ered part of the special needs category andmay qualify on a priority basis for housingprojects as per theCity’s allocationspolicy,”she says.“We are committed to being a caring city

and therefore do all we can to build a metrowhere those who need help receive it to im-prove their living environments.”Candidates have to be classified as disa-

bled on the housing needs database.A doctor’s certificate or other official doc-

umentation is needed for registration.Gqada says council makes provision for

the disabled during the construction ofcouncil accommodation through a specialneeds category, which includes the buildingof disabled-friendly units.

Carrying onBut while council claims to be mindful of

the needs of the disabled, Abduraghman Sa-lie (53) rubbishes this.He waited 20 years to move into his coun-

cil home – amaisonette which requires himto find his way up a steep staircase to getfrom the downstairs bathroom to his bed-room.“I either have to get up very early so that

my sons can carry me before they leave forwork or slither like a snake down thestairs,” he explains.He waited two decades for the call from

council that a home has been allocated tohim.“When I discovered it was a two-storey

house, I still took it. I had waited so manyyears and I didn’t want this opportunity topass me by. My family had been living indire conditions for too long; I put my needsaside so that they could have four walls tocall home.”He has since applied for a wheelchair-

friendly house but knows there may still bea long wait ahead.“I should never have been in this situa-

tion in the first place. It’s hard enough beingin a wheelchair, but its even more difficultwhen you are further disempowered by de-pending on others for mobility.”

Mum’s the wordTessa Willemse has made it her lifelong

goal to teach her son independence.But her efforts are somewhat in vain as

the teenager relies on family members tocarry him through the sandy stretch thatleads from their tiny wendy house to theirfront gate before he can use his wheelchair.

She has to pick up her almost adult sonto allow him to relieve himself in a bucket,as they do not have access to a proper toiletand cannot afford to spend hundreds ofrands on adult diapers.In the decade she has been on the waiting

list, she has made every effort to make hersmall home as wheelchair-friendly as possi-ble.But she still prays and dreams of moving

her son into a house where he can learn tobe self-sufficient.“I don’t know what more I can do,” she

says, close to tears.“I have been to housing offices, the civic

centre in Cape Town and countless meet-ings. But no matter what I do, all the doorsare slammed in my face.”Until her dream of a wheelchair-friendly

house is realised, she will continue to makeevery effort to make life as easy as possiblefor the 17-year-old.“Some might think it would be easier to

put him in a special care home, but I couldnever do that. He is my son.”

Short end of the stickDespite government’s claims of building

an inclusive society, wheelchair-bound peo-ple continue to be overlooked, argues Disa-bledPeople of SouthAfrica provincial secre-tary Anthony George.“Handing over the keys to a mainstream

council home doesn’t cut it,” he insists.“I have seen people battling in the space

they are supposed to feel most comfortable,depending on their families or neighboursto help them get in and out of their homes.

They are forced to forfeit their independ-ence for a house that doesn’t even allowthem to move around freely.”A more intimate understanding of the

challenges facing wheelchair-bound citi-zens is needed to ensure the disabled are notgiven the short end of the stick, George says.“No one stands up for us. Handing over

a monthly grant isn’t seeing to the needs ofour people – there needs to be input and con-sultation. How can a perfectly able-bodiedofficial make the call on what would be ac-cessible and comfortable for someone whocannot move their legs?”

Housing for allCape TownAssociation for the Physically

Disabled director Bridget van der Merwesays while universal accessibility in theconstruction of all housing would be ideal,there is still a long way to go before this isrealised.“But change is creeping in,” she says.

“General building standards are transform-ing towards allowing the disabledmore easein doing things like going to the toilet orswitching on the lights. While not perfect,these measures are seeing us move in theright direction.”But housing activist Sulyman Stellen-

boom says the process should be “drastical-ly speeded up” and government should bethe catalyst for change.“We all have equal rights so we should all

have equal opportunities, especially tobasicneeds such as housing. All avenues towardsempowering andgiving independence to thedisabled must be prioritised.”

Summer festival on the move

LAILA MAJIET@laila_newsie

A Strandfontein teenager is set to dance onan international stage.

But she fears she may miss the beat dueto a lack of funds.

Madeniyyah Curnow (17) was scouted ata competition in Johannesburg and hand-picked out of thousands of others to performin New York at the Applause Rising TalentShowcase (ARTS) in June next year.

The Mondale High pupil has been dancingsince the age of six.

During an interview at her home in CampRoad, Stranfontein, Curnow was initially at

a loss for words as she tried to explain her lovefor dance.

With a wide grin on her face, she went onto say dancing lights up her world.

“I love dancing for people. Seeing their fac-es beam with joy when they watch me taketo the dance floor is so rewarding,” she says.

From her childhood days where she playeddress-up and impersonated her dance heroMichael Jackson, Curnow has blossomed intoa talented self-taught dancer.

Her moves and evident passion for hip hopdance gets audiences bobbing to the beat aswell.

“I taught myself every single dance moveI know. I look at what other dancers are doing

and adapt their moves to suit my style.”While Hip Hop is her favourite dance

style, the agile dancer refuses to limit herpotential.

“Hip hop is my strong point, but I am aversatile dancer. I try everything as a chal-lenge to myself.”

A huge cost is now the only thing stand-ing in the way of the young dancer realisingher dream.

With more than a few pennies short of theR80 000 needed to cover the trip, Curnow isgearing up to raise the funds with the helpof family and friends.

“I will work hard to raise the money asI refuse to miss out on this great opportuni-ty.”

The money needs to be paid by April tosecure Curnow’s placement at the interna-tional showcase.

Proud mother Ruwaydah Curnow saysshe will walk door-to-door to help her daugh-ter raise money for the trip.

“It is important for me to allow my chil-dren the freedom to follow their dreams.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity andI want to help my daughter make it happen,”the mother of three says.

Talent scouts have encouraged the teenag-er to hone in on other arts to improve herchances in the showcase.

She will also be strutting down the run-way and trying her hand at acting duringher stint in the Big Apple.

According to the ARTS website, the organ-isation offers young artists an opportunityto perform live on a Hollywood set andBroadway-style stage in front of hundreds ofagents and a live audience.V Call Ruwaydah Curnow on 084 568 5177.

A project to up-grade the carriage-way in Strandfon-tein has been com-pleted on time andwithin budget, de-spite many obsta-cles.The City of Cape

Town completedphase two of theupgrade betweenFifth Avenue andNew Ottery Roadfrom a single to du-al carriageway toaccommodate in-creased traffic andongoing develop-ment in the area.Construction work on phase two started

in early last year andwas completed in Sep-tember at a total cost of R86m.This phase of the project was fully funded

by the City’s Urban Services DevelopmentGrant.Mayoral Committee member for Trans-

port BrettHerron says: “It is our aim to ulti-mately upgrade Strandfontein Road, fromGovan Mbeki Road to Baden Powell Drive,to a dual carriageway which will consist oftwo general traffic lanes and dedicated buslanes (MyCiTi) in each direction.”Phase one of the project, which provided

an additional traffic lane between EmeraldWay in the south and Fifth Avenue to thenorth, was completed in 2011 at a total costof R102m.

Project manager Masibonge Tshiki saysdedicated non-motorised transport facili-ties are also catered for with the provisionof sidewalks and cycle lanes.However, the construction of the dedicat-

edMyCiTi bus laneswasnot included in thefirst two phases, although adequate spacehas been allowed for these in the median ofthe road.Tshiki says it is essential for residents to

get involved during the public participa-tion processes.“Many of the obstacles overcome along

the way arise due to non-participation byresidents. Once the project is well under-way then there is an outcry,” he says.Over 10% of the budget was spent on la-

bour, with 93 people from the surroundingareas employed for the project, Tshiki says.

‘Whites only’advert irks

The South African Human Rights Com-mission is investigating a Cape Townjob advertisement only seeking whites

as applicants.The Commission says this comes after re-

cruitment agency Quest posted a job advertstating only white males need apply.

The advert sparked a flurry of outrage onsocial media sites, with Quest being accusedof racism. Quest denied these accusations,saying clients decide the job requirements.

The Commission said it was also investi-gating another advert, “Algemene Werker;slegs blankes”, adding it condemns such ad-vertising. Here is what readers had to say.

BRIAN KOCK says the advert is reminiscent of theold South Africa. “I don’t understand why theyshould say ‘only white’ or even ‘black’. I can’t thinkof anything a white male can do that I can’t.”

RADE MAKHUVHA doesn’t think the advert is rac­ist. “I’ve seen lots of job advertisements sayingthey are only looking for a black male. I ignorethem and look for something I’m qualified for.”

VELISWA QALO says it would not have elicited thesame reaction if the vacancy was for a black male.“I am over apartheid, but many will find it offen­sive when they see such an advertisement. Theyare still living in the past, not knowing that theyare doing the same thing.”

ZAIN GALLIE believes racism is still a problem inour modern society. “We don't have equal rights.What counts for one person should count for an­other. When I see an advertisement like that I feelcriticised, ashamed and like I have no place in thisworld.”

FABIAN HENDRICKS says he feels offended whenhe sees such an advert. “It should depend on whatqualifications one has and not on one’s skin col­our. It’s racist and I don't like it.”

NICKY DAMON says he is offended by the advert.“We all deserve a fair chance. Focus on qualifica­tion, not race. We are over apartheid. To me theadvert was racist. I’m happy they removed it.”

MONIQUE SWART says she deals with these kindsof adverts almost every day. “For me the advertwas racist. I work with BEE and these are the kindsof things I deal with daily. Even if the advert wasabout blacks, people were going to raise ques­tions.”

Baseball on the up-swingLIAM MOSES@LiamCPT

Baseball is booming in Grassy Parkthanks to the hard work of a local club.TheDevonshireBaseball Club, based

at Fairmount High School, runs a develop-ment programme that has seen childrenfrom several schools in the area take up thesport.Ivan Gabriel, public relations officer for

Devonshire, says the club has already “seensignificant results”.“We have seen kids nobody even consid-

eredwould be selected forWestern Provincebaseball teams, flourish,” he says.“Earlier this year one boy came to base-

ball practise on a Friday for the very firsttime, not knowing a thing (about the sport).He was such a natural that we sent him fortrials the very next day and he (was selected

for) the Western Province under-10 team.”The development programme sees Devon-

shire coach baseball at Fairmount HighSchool and Montague’s Gift Primary.A league has also been started with Mon-

tague’s Gift playing matches against DeDuine, Grassy Park EC and Sid G Rule pri-mary schools every Wednesday. A struc-tured league has not yet been formed for thehigh schools, but Fairmount and GrassdaleHigh play matches every Tuesday andThursday.The programme is run in partnership

with the City of Cape Town and the provin-cial Department of Cultural Affairs andSport, with the City maintaining the fieldand province paying stipends to some of

Devonshire’s coaches who work at theschools.Gabriel says the programme has also led

tomany children joining Devonshire to playin club competitions.“The aim of the project is to stimulate the

sport. A lot of kids already play for clubs, butthe kids who don’t play for clubs join Deven-oshire,” he says.“It’s not like the club is taking kids from

other clubs; it’s children who are new to thesport.”Devonshire is also set to step up its efforts

to expand the programme with the help ofthe Constantia Rotary Club.TheRotaryClubwill help provide funding

and support to feed the children, purchase

equipment and improve the facilities.Devonshire are also set to receive a ship-

ment of second-hand baseball equipmentfrom the US courtesy of the Major LeagueBaseball. “The equipment is important, aswe don’t have resources,” says Gabriel.“Ourmembers are fromtheParkwoodand

Grassy Park areas, and the equipment isvery expensive. Every game we play, eachteam needs new ball and it costs R90. So wespend over R500 on balls every Saturday.Without that equipment we would have hadto turn kids away.”The club will also host a golf day at Kuils

River Golf Club on Tuesday 15 December.For information or book your place call AbeTaylor on 083 435 3577. All proceeds will gotowards purchasing new equipment.For more information on the club or to as-

sist in any way phone Maritha Williams on073 490 9291.

Local club‘beats the bulletwith the ball’LIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

AHanover Park football club has fin-ished the season with a glut of tro-phies, but its administrators be-

lieve an evenmore important victory hasbeen won.

Hanover Park Rangers chairpersonSedick Abrahams says the club has suc-cessfully kept 180 boys and young menaway from the drugs and gangsterismwhich plague the area.

He says Rangers have “beaten the bul-let with the ball”.

“We are battling with drugs and gan-sterism; there are killings in HanoverPark everyday,” Abrahams says.

“Sometimes we can’t even practice,(but) we are not even botheredwith thosegangsters. The players are very dedicat-ed. I started the team to keep kids awayfrom gangsterism.”

“They love the game – even though theseason has finished the kids still want toplay.”

The club was founded in 1976, but randormant 15 years later due to the difficul-ties of operating during apartheid.

Abrahams reopened the club in 2008 tooffer the area’s children a healthy pas-time and an outlet for their talent.

Rangers now have teams in every agegroup, ranging from under-7 to seniors.

Those teams claimed six different tro-phies playing in the Rygate Local Foot-ball Association (LFA) this season.

Rangers beat 21 other teams from theRygate, Metropolitan and Turfhall LFA’s

to claim the combined under-19 leaguetrophy.

The senior third team won the Rygatethird division first-round league, second-round league and grand challenge tro-phies, while the first team won the firstdivision first-round and second-roundleague to gain promotion to the PremierLeague, the top league at Rygate.

Abrahams says the team achieved thisin spite of the adversity and the stigmaattached to living in Hanover Park.

“We achieved this with dedication anddiscipline,” he says.

“Everybody looks down on us, but weearned their respect. Last year theythought we were a fly-by-night team; thisyear we were the team to beat.

“Although our players come from thisbackground, we instil discipline into tothem, because we know people are look-ing at us with hawk’s eyes.”

The Hanover Park area previously hadits own LFA and Abrahams says the nextstep is to reform the organisation onceanother team is established in the area.

Rangers do not charge their playersany membership fees and have to supplymost with boots and shin guards.

Abrahams says the under-11 and un-der-13 teams shared the same pairs ofboots this season.

Although sponsorship has been provid-ed by New Era Recruitment, FreedomRiders Motorcycle Club and Strings Mo-torcycle Club, the club is still in dire needof equipment.

Anyone interested in assisting canphone Abrahams on 082 741 0750.

No pro footy forMitchell’s PlainLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Strandfontein Football Club have can-celled plans to enter the professionalranks through purchasing a Safa Sec-

ond Division franchise.The club announced plans to buy a spot in

the third tier of South African football, fromnewly promoted club Knysna Bafana, at its35th anniversary celebrations in late Octo-ber. However, Strandfontein will no longercompete in the Second Division after negoti-ations between the club’s financial backersand Knysna Bafana were cancelled.Sharief Christians, junior chairmanat the

amateur club, confirms theywill not be play-ing in the Second Division this year.“Wehave decided thatwe are going to con-

centrate on our youth,” he says.Christians, who would have taken up the

chief operations officer role at the profes-sional club, refused to give any further de-tailswhenquizzed aboutwhether thenegoti-ations broke down.His reasons for the withdrawal contradict

statements made in an earlier interviewwith People’s Post on Tuesday 29 October.During the first interview,Christians said

developing young players was the key rea-son for the buying the franchise.He said: “The core of the Second Division

team will be Strandfontein players. A lot ofour youngsters play in our Mitchell’s Plain

Local Football Association (MPLFA) SuperLeague team.”He also stated: “We think we have the

quality of players we need to survive. Theseboys are never given chances. Now we aregiving them a chance to show they can playat this level.”Strandfontein previously played in the

SecondDivision, but a lack of fundingmeantthe franchise was sold to Vasco da Gamaabout six years ago.The club had not yet secured a sponsor at

the time of Christians’ first interview withPeople’s Post, but he said the financial back-ing would come from a clubmember and hisbusiness partner, who were set to bankrollthe franchise purchase.The franchise would have brought profes-

sional football back to Mitchell’s Plain forthe first time since Santos FC left the MPL-FA earlier this year to join Cape DistrictLFA.Although Mitchell’s Plain United FC play

in theSecondDivision, the club is just a feed-er team for Santos and are based at the San-tos Academy in Lansdowne.Mitchell’s Plain is widely considered to by

a hotbed of football talent, but the lack of aprofessional club in the area could be to thedetriment of football development.While themost promisingplayerswill still

be cherry-picked from amateur sides whenspotted, the level of competition and coach-ing could suffer.
