A

whole new town with 14 000

houses and 120 hectares of re-

tail and industrial space will

be built on the old AECI land outside

Somerset West over the next 15 to 20

years, irrevocably changing the face

of the Helderberg.

The land will be developed in six pha-

ses, with the first phase between thewet-

lands and De Beers Avenue already un-

der construction. This phase is called the

De Beers Precinct and will see the es-

tablishment of 500 upmarket homes, a

100-bedprivatehospitalandaprivateday

hospital. The De Beers Precinct includes

light industrial and retail developments

totalling ten hectares.

The property arm of AECI, Heartland

Properties, is handling the planning and

release of the old AECI land, known as

Paardevlei. The total extent of land to be

released for development is 730 hectares.

The original size of AECIs land-hold-

ing in Somerset West was 1 000 hectares,

butthecompanyhasalreadysold270 hec-

tares for several developments that in-

cludedtheSomersetMall,SomersetBusi-

nessPark,WaterstoneVillageand theDe

Velde and Schonenberg Estate housing

been selling its land off for development

since manufacturing stopped.

Well-knownpropertyeconomistErwin

Rode of Rode and Associates says the

Paardevlei development is one of the big-

gestdevelopmentsintheCapePeninsula.

For comparison, the 730 hectares of

Paardevleidwarfthe246hectaresofPark-

lands, termed the fastest-growing sub-

urbinCapeTown.RodesaysthatSomer-

set West is one of the very few areas in

the Cape Peninsula where expansion is

possible. He adds that Paardevlei has a

single property owner, AECI, planning

the mega-development, and thus the

planning can be more thorough than

Parklands was.

Rode says that while jobswill be creat-

ed during the construction phases of the

development, he cannot say the develop-

ment itself will create further jobs. He

says that because the development will

be self-servicing in terms of shopping

centresandlightindustrialdevelopment,

thenewresidentswillprobablynotspend

their money in the Somerset West CBD.

Chantelle Mathomes, Heartland Pro-

pertiesmarketingmanager,saysthatthe

DeBeersPrecinctalreadyreceivedallap-

provals for development in 2007. But

somedeveloperswhobought intothepre-

cinct have only started developing now

due to the positive turn in the construc-

tion industry following the recession.

Mathomes says that the private hospi-

tal to be situated in the De Beers District

will be run by Busamed Holdings. The

private day hospital, comprising three

theatresand30daybeds,willbemanaged

byCureDayClinicsandwill beaccompa-

nied by a specialist eye clinic. The day

hospital will be open for business in Sep-

tember 2014. The De Beers precinct cur-

rently has several heritage buildings,

which will be protected, and the Flag-

stone Winery, Triggerfish Micro-Brew-

ery, and cheetah sanctuary will remain

on the site.

The Paardevlei development will need

new roads and infrastructure, and there

is talk of a new bus service and railway

station. Turn to page 4 for more details.

TRAFFIC HELD UP AFTER COLLISION: Two trucks and a bakkie collided on Sir Lowrys Pass at

13:45 on Tuesday (8 October) afternoon. According to the Gordons Bay police, a truck, which

came down Sir Lowrys Pass en route to Gordons Bay, veered out of control after its axle broke

off. The truck then crashed into a second truck and a Toyota Hilux bakkie coming up the pass. The

driver of the second truck, Paulus le Qunie (51) from Firgrove, was trapped in the cab of the truck

and had to be freed by members of Metro EMS before being transported to Mediclinic Vergelegen.

Thomas Phiri, the driver of the first truck, sustained minor injuries. According to the Gordons Bay

Traffic Department, motorists on the N2 were confronted by heavy traffic congestion until 22:30 on

Tuesday evening due to the closure of two lanes in the direction of Grabouw and one lane in the

direction of Somerset West. The truck was eventually removed from the road between 21:30 and

22:00. PHOTO: JAMEY THOMAS

Five suspects, believed to be part of a rob-

bery syndicate, were arrested in Lwandle

last Friday for being in possession of ille-

gal firearms.

According to a police report, during Sep-

tember a number of planned armed robberies

took place in the area.

The suspects are armedwith firearms and

theyusuallyoperate inagroupof three to five.

Theymostly target thewholeareaofLwandle,

getaway cars, said Constable Mthokozisi

Gama, spokesperson for the Lwandle SAPS.

Residents werewarned to be on the lookout

A breakthrough in the investigation came

ted a suspicious-looking vehicle. Detective

ver-grey Toyota Avanza as it fit the descrip-

tion of one of the vehicles previously used in

dle. The officers then unobtrusively followed

the vehicle while calling for backup. The offi-

cers stopped thevehicle inLongaStreet,Nom-

zamo and searched the vehicle. Two illegal

firearms were found and were confiscated

along with the vehicle.

The five men, between the ages of 21 and

34,havebeenarrestedandchargedwithbeing

Bikini BeachaBlue Flagbeautyagain

The popular Bikini Beach in Gordons

Bay was once again awarded the presti-

gious Blue Flag status that helps local

businesses to attract tourists.

TheCityofCapeTownsuccessfullyapplied

for a pilot Blue Flag status for Bikini Beach

in 2003 and received full status in 2004.

According to Alderman Belinda Walker,

Mayoral Committee Member for Communi-

ty Services and Special Projects, Bikini

Beach has received Blue Flag status every

year since then.

Walker explains that theBlue Flag is a vol-

untary eco-label awarded annually to over

3 650 beaches and marinas in 44 countries.

The status indicates that the beaches are

clean, have adequate ablution facilities and

parking, are environmentally sound, are

safe and secure to visit, and adhere to inter-

national safety and tourism standards. The

accreditation is awarded for one season at

a time, and if conditions deteriorate at the

beach, it can be withdrawn.

Having Blue Flag beaches is a significant

tourism draw-card because international

visitors know what to expect. The pro-

gramme challenges local authorities, beach

operators and yacht and marina manage-

ment to achieve high standards in environ-

mental management, environmental educa-

tion, safety and security and water quality,

says Walker.

Jeanette Loring, a Gordons Bay business

owner andmember of both the Business and

Residents Associations, agreeswithWalker

and says the Blue Flag helps attract interna-

tional visitors.

Loring,whowasoverjoyedat thenewsthat

Bikini Beach has once again gained Blue

Flag status, says local businesses promote

the Bikini Beach Blue Flag status in adverti-

sing. She explains that international guests

donot alwaysknowwhat the situation is like

in South Africa and tend to believe that it

is an unsafe country to visit. The Blue Flag

status, however, gives assurance of safety

and international standards.

Loringsaysherownexperienceof theBiki-

ni Beach front in Gordons Bay is that it is

safe, even in the evenings.

OnWednesday9October, sunbatherswere

enjoyingBikini Beach, with girls in bikinis

and boys watching them, quips Loring.

The Blue Flag status for this season runs

from 1 December 2013 to 31 March 2014.

Other Cape Town Beaches that received

Blue Flag status are Mnandi, Strandfontein,

Muizenberg, Llandudno,CampsBay,Clifton

4th and Silwerstroomstrand.

Bikini Beach is a popular tourism destination that attracts many visitors in the holiday sea-

son.

Helderberg set for

populationboom

DALEEN FOUCH

Themega-developmentofAECIs

property at Paardevlei (see page

1) will drastically increase the

Helderberg population and sev-

eral new roads and services will

be needed to cope with the num-

bers.

Already several road upgrades

have taken place to accommodate

the De Beers Precinct that is cur-

rently under construction, but Er-

win Rode, well-known property

economist at Rode and Associates,

believes that public transport will

be the most pressing need created

by the development in the next fif-

teen to twenty years.

He says roads will need to be ex-

panded and the introduction of a

rapid bus transport system in the

Helderberg needs to be seriously

considered.

Benedicta van Minnen, Ward

Councillor for ward 15, in which a

chunkof thedevelopment falls, says

the City of Cape Town has already

decided to introduce its Integrated

Rapid Transit (IRT), or MyCiti bus-

es, to the Helderberg.

However, the city is focusing on

first providing this service to areas

without rail services, like Khayelit-

sha, and theMyCitibuseswill possi-

bly be rolled out in the Helderberg

in 2017.

She adds that discussions are un-

der way with the city and the Pas-

senger Rail Agency of South Africa

(Prasa)regardinganewrailwaysta-

tion in the Helderberg.

Van Minnen says road improve-

ments will include a new access

point to the N2 and additional road

links.

A Macro Transport Impact As-

sessment was undertaken for the

overall Heartland site by consult-

ants HHO Africa in December 2005,

and this forms the framework for

road development and expansion in

and around the site.

Councillor Ernest Sonnenberg,

Mayoral Committee Member for

Utility Services, says the wastewa-

ter for the Paardevlei development

willbesent toMacassarWastewater

TreatmentWorks. This facilityhas

sufficient capacity to cope with the

additional load.

VanMinnenconfirms that this fa-

cility has recently been upgraded.

Chantelle Mathomes, marketing

manager for Heartland Properties,

says Heartland and developers are

billed by the City of Cape Town for

bulk services such as water, roads

and sewage.

Stolen items found all over

Hberg, suspect in court

Intense investigation by mem-

bers of the Somerset West Police

led to a successful arrest and the

confiscation of stolen goods.

OnThursday 3October at 09:30

a housebreaking was reported at

a residence in Bernard Road. Up-

on investigation, officers discov-

ered that theburglarshadgained

access to the house by forcing

open the front door.

They stole the following items:

a 9mm Beretta, a 12-bore shot-

gun, an air rifle and other items

fromthehouse suchas jewellery,

electricalappliances,clothesand

a persian carpet. They then fled

the scene in a blue Volkswagen

Kombi with a CFM registration

number, which they also stole at

this residence.

The owner of the house is cur-

rently in Australia and is said to

return home later this month.

The following day (Friday) at

about05:30policeofficersspotted

the stolen vehicle and searched

it. The Beretta, R7 000 cash, jew-

ellery and drugs were confiscat-

ed.

Further investigation led the

police to an address in Rusthof,

Strand, where more of the stolen

items were recovered. The

searchwasextended toMacassar

where documents that were sto-

len from the safewere also recov-

ered. Police later determined

that some of the items were sto-

len in other house robberies.

One suspect, Shane Jantjies,

was arrested and he appeared in

the Somerset West Magistrates

Court where the case was post-

poned for further investigation.

According to a police report,

Jantjies was previously found

guilty on 15 charges of house-

breaking and theft in Somerset

West.

Six phases in total

DALEEN FOUCH

The De Beers Precinct develop-

ment currently under way at

Paardevlei is only the first of six

phases that will be developed in

this massive project over the

next 15 to 20 years.

TheDeBeersPrecinct takesup

43 hectares of the overall 730 hec-

tares of Paardevlei that will be

developed. It will include 500 up-

market houses, ten hectares of

opments, a Checkers, plus a pri-

vate hospital and private day

Vriendegroet legendariese visser

JAMEY THOMAS

Talle roubeklaershetDonderdagoggend

(3 Oktober) die gedenkdiens van wyle

visserman Anthony Tone de Wit (54)

bygewoon om hul laaste eer te betoon.

De Wit is een van die twee Strand-visser-

manne wat verdrink het toe die Ralda III op

23 September sowat vyf seemyl van die kus,

tussen Hangklip en Kleinmond omgeslaan

het. De Wit se medevissers Phillip Schoe-

man (53), die kaptein en eienaar van die

6 m-vissersboot Ralda III, sy seun Phillip

(27), Alwyn du Plooy (42), Piet van As (55)

en Joe Williams (61) van Brackenfell, was

ook aan boord.

Die boot se anker het glo vasgesit en toe

die mans probeer om dit los te kry, het die

boot omgeslaan.

Die mans moes byna tien uur lank in die

diepsee aan die boot vasklou voor vier van

hulle deur die Nasionale Seereddingsinsti-

tuut (NSRI) gered is. DeWit, wat aan emfis-

eem gely het, het egter n sowat agt uur on-

der diewater verdwyn. Sy lyk het in die rig-

ting van Hermanus gedryf.

Van As het probeer strand toe swem,

maar het verdrink.

n Soektog na DeWit en Van As is die vol-

gende oggend voortgesit, waartydens De

Wit se lyk ontdek is. VanAs se lyk isWoens-

dag 25 September gevind.

n Gedenkdiens vir Van As het Dinsdag

1 Oktober in die NG Moederkerk, Strand

plaasgevind.

DeWit se gedenkdiens het om 10:00 in die

NG gemeente Suider-Strand plaasgevind

en is deur ds. Gerhard Stoffberg waarge-

neem.

n Broodwinner, man, pa, broer en

vriend is verlore. Hoe moet ons vorentoe

gaan?HoekomhetGodniebydierampinge-

tree nie? Toe die skuitmet die vissermanne

hulpeloos omgedop gel het en hulle vir hul

lewens vasgeklou het, het God die geleent-

heid gebruik om n wonderwerk te doen

mense na geloof te bring, het Stoffberg

ges.

Stoffberg het voorts ges Tone se dood het

baie mense geraak, nie net sy familie nie,

maar ook die groter visser- en Strand-ge-

meenskap. En, dit was duidelik te sien by

almal wat die gedenkdiens bygewoon het.

Phillip (Flippie) Schoeman het die hulde-

blykgebring.SchoemanhetDeWitas nsag-

geaarde, omgee-mens beskryf wat n onbe-

skryflike invloed in baie mense se lewe ge-

had het, en nooit n slegte woord oor

enigiemand te s gehad het nie.

Ons was tydgenote wat n passie gedeel

het. Die see was in ons bloed en dit was ons

pas se skuld; maar as jy dit in jou are voel

bruis, maak dit jou sterk en gelukkig.

Skoolgaan was nie vir Tone nie. Hy het

elke kans aangegryp om see toe te gaan. Die

see was sy skatkis, sy rykdom, sy lewe, het

n hartseer Schoeman ges.

Hy het praktiese barmhartigheid en

godsdiens uitgeleef. Ja, ou Toontjies, jy was

n legendariesemenswat ons lewensverryk

en iets baie kosbaar agtergelaat het. Ons sal

jou rykdom koester en as skatkis bewaar.

De Wit se vier medevissers het ook die

diens bygewoon en het hul laaste eer aan

hom betoon deur die doodskis uit die kerk

te dra.

De Wit word deur sy vrou van 31 jaar, Jo-

hanna (oftewel Baba), en dogters Jo-Ann en

Miekie oorleef.

Twee sakevandiefstal en eenvanhuisbraak

is Dinsdag in die Strand-landdroshof ver-

In een van die sake is Rafeeq Abrahams

skuldig bevind op n aanklag van diefstal.

Die hof het gehoor dat Abrahams na bewe-

ring op 13 Oktober n Bosch-slyper en n

Black&Decker-saag uit nmotorhuis in Pal-

mietsingel, Strand gesteel het. Hy het skul-

dig gepleit.

Landdros Karen Scheepers het hom tot

twee jaar tronkstraf gevonnis, opgeskort vir

vyf jaar. Hy mag gedurende di tydperk op

geen aanklagte skuldig bevind word nie.

QuintonRoss(22) isookopnsaakvandief-

stal skuldig bevind. Die hof het gehoor dat

Ross op 13 Julie n beursie by n woning in

Forbesstraat gesteel het.

Daarwas R210 kontant asook bankkaarte,

n bestuurderslisensie en n identiteitsdoku-

ment in die beursie.

EtinneMentoorvandieregshulpraadhet

die klaer terugbesorg het.

Scheepers het Ross tot drie jaar tronkstraf

gevonnis wat opgeskort is vir vyf jaar.

In nog n saak het Anthony Hartnick (20)

skuldig gepleit op n aanklag vanhuisbraak.

Hartnick het op 8 September n uitsny-

saag, n slyper en n knyptang vanuit n mo-

torhuis in Meerluststraat gesteel.

omdat Hartnick voorheen los werk vir die

klaer gedoen het.

Scheepers het Hartnick tot 18 maande

tronkstraf, in terme van artikel 2761(i) ge-

vonnis.

Dit beteken dat hy slegs drie maande di-

rekte tronkstraf moet uitdien.

Sandvleiwater contamination still beingquestioned

DespitetheCityofCapeTownclaimingthatwa-

ter from the Kuils River flowing through the

Sandvlei residential area is not contaminated,

results from independent tests prove other-

wise.

During theheavyrainandstorms inAugust,wa-

ter levels inSandvlei roseresulting inhomesbeing

flooded.

The DistrictMail previously reported how resi-

dent Nazeem Anthony had to take quick action to

prevent heavy flooding to his home by digging a

hole in his front yard to prevent the water from

causing damage to his house. Anthony claims that

he contracted dermatitis on his hand after being

in contact with the water.

Anthonys neighbour, FaizaEdwards leg has al-

so been affectedwhen thewater flooded her home.

My leg is so sore and I am in constant pain. I have

been to the doctor numerous times, but the medi-

cine does not seem to be working, Edwards says.

The river is situated close to theZandvlietWaste

Water Treatment Works (WWTW) and residents

believe it is effluent from there that is the cause

of all evil.

Shortlyafter the flood, theresidentshadsamples

taken from thewater and had them independently

tested by the Council for Scientific Industrial Re-

search (CSIR).

CouncillorAnwarAdamsfromthehumansettle-

ments portfolio committee, spearheaded the test-

ing andwhen the test results came back, they con-

firmed that the water was indeed contaminated.

Thetestresultsshowthattherearetracesofharm-

ful chemicals like ammonium and phospate in the

water.

These levels are unacceptable for crops, live-

stockorhumans.Youcantevenwateryourgarden

with it.

Adamsadded that he isworking towards getting

a closed-pipe system in place where the effluent

from theWWTWcan flow towards the ocean,with-

out any of the residents coming into contact with

it.TheCityofCapeTown,however, isadamantthat

the water is not contaminated.

It is not contaminated stormwater and we can

onlyassumethatit is thetreatedeffluentwaterthat

the WWTW releases back into the Kuils River

stormwater system that is being referred to, says

councillorBrettHerron,MayoralCommitteeMem-

ber for Transport for Cape Town.

Herron says treated effluent water from the

WWTW is being released into the river, but that

it is at acceptable levels, not harmful to anyone.

City responds to contaminatedwater dispute

Councillor Brett Herron, mayoral

committeemember, Transport for

Cape Town, City of Cape Town:

If the flooding in Zandvliet was

the result of theWWTWdischarge,

itwouldbe floodedonadaily basis.

To illustrate, please see below a

clearviewof theWastewaterTreat-

ment works at Macassar, with the

canal that runs into theKuilsRiver

of the Zandvliet area.

As can be seen from the photos,

the Kuils River overflowed on the

floodplain, with a 1:2 year flood.

The floodplain is inundated with

water coming from upstream,

spreading thewaterover thewhole

floodplain.

It is clear then that theWastewa-

ter Treatment Works is not the

source and did not cause the river

to burst its banks.

150 jaaroue

denneboomvalom

Die Van Zyls van Somerset-Wes meen

hul tuin sal nooit weer dieselfde wees

nie.

Dt volg n nmassiewe denneboom,wat

vermoedelik 150 jaar oud is, omstreeks

06:00 Sondagoggend 22 September weens

ouderdom in die agterplaas van hul huis

in De Villiersstraat omgeval het.

Volgens Dan en Judy van Zyl was hulle

in Ierland toe die voorval afgespeel het en

het hul bure die nuus aan hulle oorgedra.

Toe ons Sondag by die huis aankom, is

onsmetdie onaangenameverrassing ver-

welkom, s Dan.

Hyhet voorts vertel volgenshul burehet

mensewat in die omgewingwas, almal na-

der gehardloop n hulle die oorverdowen-

de slag gehoor het.

Die boomhet tussen twee bomebuite die

Van Zyls se werf beland en die helfte van

n bloekomboom en n ander denneboom

beskadig.

Volgens Judy meen houtkappers n 30

ton-vragmotor sal nodigwees omdie boom

te verwyder as gevolg van sy grootte.Maar

die geluk by die ongeluk is dat die boom

weg van die huis af geval het, anders was

hul huis daarmee heen.

Afgesien daarvan dat hulle hartseer is

oor die besonderseuitsigwat nouniemeer

daar is nie, mis hulle ook die geluid van

die uile en ander vols (hadidas, kolganse,

tarentale enselfs eekhorinkies)watnesge-

maak het in die boom.

Dis s hartseer dat ons hulle nie meer

hoor nie, s Judy.

Benewens die feit dat dit n ramp is om

so n geskiedkundige boom te verloor, is

dit vir ons as gesin eens so erg. Die boom

was sodeel vanonshuis.Ons tuin sal nooit

weer dieselfde wees nie.

Leopards roamthe land

DALEEN FOUCH

The Hottentots Holland Moun-

tains that towerovertheHelder-

berg are home to the top preda-

tor in the province.

Cape leopards are elusive crea-

tures, but through a long-term re-

search project, the Cape Leopard

Trust (CLT)BolandProjectmeticu-

louslymonitors thenumber,move-

ment and behaviour of leopards in

the Boland.

One such leopard, named Scott

by the CLT, has territory spanning

the N2 at Sir Lowrys Pass and in-

cluding the Steenbras Nature Re-

serveandtheKogelbergNatureRe-

serve.

His neighbour is Neo, whose ter-

ritory includes the Helshoogte

mountains, Jonkershoek, Helder-

bergandasectionoftheHottentots-

Holland mountains overlooking

Somerset West.

These two male leopards have

been GPS radio collared as part of

the research project.

According to Anita Meyer, a re-

searcher for theCLT, thereareusu-

ally two to three female territories

within the entire range of a male

leopard. We are aware of one fe-

male in the Helderberg area.

The CLT launched the Boland

Project in March 2010 and the re-

search covers a massive area from

the Groot Winterhoek Mountains

right down to the Kogelberg coast

at Bettys Bay and Kleinmond.

Jeannie Hayward, a researcher

for the Cape Leopard Trust, says

there isnowayof determininghow

many leopards used to live in the

mountains before humans settled

here. She explains thatmany other

animal species suchas lion,buffalo

andelephantused to live in theHel-

derberg area, butwere wipedout

by humans. She says because leop-

ards live in mountainous areas,

they remained.

Meyer says that apart from re-

searchingnumbersandbehaviour,

theprojectalsoaimstoidentifyare-

as where there is conflict between

farmers and leopards and to inves-

tigate resident mammal popula-

tions. In the Helderberg, research

takes place on City of Cape Town

nature reserves and private land.

Camera traps have been placed in

strategic positions and not only

capture images of leopards, but al-

so record the wide variety of ani-

mals that occupy themountainous

area.

Meyersayssomeof theotherani-

mals caughtoncameraarebaboon,

porcupine, large-spotted genet,

small grey mongoose, water mon-

goose, Cape clawless otter, duiker,

klipspringer, Cape grysbok, das-

sie, Hewitts red rock rabbit, hare,

honey badger, striped polecat, ca-

racal and Cape fox.

But theCapeLeopardfacesmany

challenges, including illegal

poaching. Meyer says that

throughout the Boland study area,

illegal wire snares are used to cap-

ture animals for food. This is also

a problem in theHelderberg area.

She explains that snares pose a di-

rect threat to leopards since they

can get caught in them and be se-

verely hurt and killed.

The snares also pose a secondary

threat in that the poachers deplete

the leopards food source by hunt-

ingporcupine,duikerandgrysbok.

Meyer explains that because the

leopard is the top predator in the

Western Cape, it is essential that

the species is protected.

Residents can follow the

progress of the project at capeleop-

ard.org.za.

This leopard was caught on camera on Schapenberg.

Traders unsightly structures spoils seaview

The natural centre of Strands at-

tractions is where Main Road

meets the sea front.

The seaside is the reason for the

towns position and it is basic to

the welfare of all of its citizens as

a whole.

Yet, that area is host to a large

agglomeration of small traders

selling cheap goods housed in

cheap andunsightlymovable tem-

porary structures; much of the

open area is covered afresh each

day with these little shops; and

they fill all of the available space

during holiday periods.

The sea view is obstructed and

spoiled and the impression made

is extremely unfavourable to the

town.

It is obvious that thearea should

be made attractive to pedestrians

and holiday makers and a holiday

mood would thrive if it was up-

gradedandaccessible.What anas-

set is being wasted!

How the municipality allowed

this situation to develop is incom-

prehensible.

Now there is an obvious and se-

rious problem if the small traders

are to be moved elsewhere. But it

must be done somehow, in the in-

terests of the town.

ers must now stand is tarred, in

comparison with the bus standing

area which is beautifully paved.

The taxi association has had its

only toilet demolished, we, the

commuters, had none, and now

there are no toilets at all.

So there is no roof, no toilet and

the rank is boycotted by the associ-

ationas thewholeprojectwasdone

in bad faith by the City of Cape

Town

No public facilities at all facili-

ties such as toilets for commuters

and water for drinking.

The City never consulted the

Taxi Association, neither the rate-

payers in this development, nei-

therdiditconsultwiththeourenvi-

ronmental association, the Macas-

sar Environmental Association.

Every development in Macassar

isdoneinashoddymanner,andthe

City does not feel the necessity to

consult with our community.

The taxis are now parked in the

mud and the taxi commuters must

alsousethemuddygroundtoboard

the taxis.

It is inhumanto take toiletsaway

from the taxi rank.

Where must they relieve them-

selves! Where must commuters re-

lieve themselves andwhat toilet fa-

cilities must they use?

Whydoes our councillor not con-

sultwith theNGOs, ratepayersand

residents of Macassar?

CEDRIC HENDRICKS

MACASSAR

(Councillor Brett Herron, Mayoral

Committee Member: Transport for

Cape Town responds:)

The City of Cape Town appreci-

ates residents concerns in this re-

gard, thusourattempts togradual-

ly improve the taxi rank. It must

be borne in mind that the current

facilitywas intendedasaninterim

solution to improve theconditions

experienced by commuters previ-

ously.

This was communicated to the

taxiassociation,aswellas theSub-

council and localWardCouncillor

who acknowledged that the facili-

ty is an interim intervention and

that a full investigation for a new

Public Transport Interchange

(PTI) facility will be undertaken

this financial year (2013/2014).

TheCity hasmade the following

improvements to the interchange:

) Hardening of surfaces

) Walkways for commuters

) Improvements to stormwater

drainage and

) Provision of temporary shel-

ters

Unfortunately, it was not possi-

ble to upgrade the toilets as part

of the interim upgrade. However,

maintenance is ongoing and the

Citywill provide two chemical toi-

lets. The full upgrade of ablution

facilities is part of the plannedPTI

facility currently under investiga-

tion. As part of the upgrade proc-

ess, the City is investigating the

following:

) A land investigation into the

current and further location of the

facility.

) A demand and need analysis

of the current operations to estab-

lish a sufficient and flexible public

transport facility, which will in-

clude the following proposed in-

frastructure: loading bays with

covered roof shelter; ablution fa-

cilities; sidewalks for commuters;

wash bays; signage, etc.

TheCitywill continue to engage

with the residents, commuters

and the taxi association until a so-

lution can be found for all.

Groundshifts

AECIs decisions on what to do with

its land at Paardevlei have had, and

will continue tohave, the largest im-

pact on the Helderberg stemming

from any single source.

The development of the Somerset

Mall precinct irrevocably changed

the nature of business in theHelder-

berg area.

The developments to follow at

Paardevlei will bring new ground

shifts to the area. The land will hold

14 000 new houses and 120 hectares

of shops, industryandbusinessesby

the time the developments are com-

pleted in 15 to 20 years time.

The distinction and distance be-

tween Somerset West and Cape

Town will possibly no longer exist

two decades from now, as the

Paardevlei development will fill in

the space between the two nodes.

The urbanisation of the Helderberg

will in effect be accelerated.

Development on this scale holds

immense consequences. It is essen-

tial thatresidentsandbusinessasso-

ciations as well as civic re-

presentatives are involved in what-

ever public participation processes

arise to help shape the new face of

the Helderberg. Because a new face

is undoubtedly on its way.

Ina se storiesnou ine-boeke

As n klein dogtertjie het sy

vir almal van hul gekleurde

varkeopdieplaasvertelentot

nou toe is dit baie keer net die

eenvoudigste toneel of plek

wat die ontstaan van n ver-

haal word.

Dt dien as bewys dat stories

die groot liefde en passie is van

Strand-inwoner Ina Bergh (73),

wie se verhale onlangs deur

Kwarts.co.za as e-boeke beskik-

baar gemaak is.

Ina is asdie tweedeoudstevan

ses susters in die Vrystaat gebo-

re, en tydens haar grootwordja-

re was dit vir haar die lekkerste

omhaarsussiesmethaarstories

te vermaak, veral as sy die ver-

rukking op hul gesigte opge-

merk het.

Ina het haar laer- en hor-

skoolloopbaan in Wolmarans-

stad voltooi. Dit was op hor-

skool terwyl die leerlinge in die

Duitse klas hersiening gedoen

het, dat Ina verskeie kindersto-

ries die lig laat sien het.

Oral sien ek storieswat virmy

wink. En, as ek nie vinnig genoeg

die stories neerpennie, raas hulle

met my, lag Ina.

Sy en haar man, Hattie, was

saam op horskool en, volgens

Ina, het hy haar dadelik as groen-

tjie opgemerk. Hulle is reeds 54

jaar gelukkig getroud.

Ina vertel hoe hulle as gesin,

methuldogter enseun,naKlerks-

dorp verhuis het.

Sy was van die eerste lede wat

by die PUK (Noordwes Universi-

teit) se skryfkursus ingeskryfhet,

maar kon dit egter nie voltooi nie

omdat sy haar man Griekeland

toe gevolg het.

Hattie het daar n projek gehad

en Ina het besluit om vir die pret

Griekse kindertjies American

English te leer, en natuurlik het

sy ook stories geskryf.

Griekelandhetmaarnet inmy

bloed gebruis. Daarhetmyverha-

le,Roos vanAthene,Griekeland,O

Vrolike Land en Spensvol Griekse

Stories ontstaan.

Later het hulle Pretoria toe ver-

huis waar Ina as n eiendoms-

agent gewerk het en tot haar ver-

basing nogal baie huise verkoop

het.

Terwylsyvoornemendeklin-

te by skouhuise ingewaghet, het

sy stories in haar dagboek ge-

skryf.

Toe sy n ou stal met klomp to-

rinkies en nplaasmet nbuiten-

gewone ingang gewaar, het ver-

hale soosEienaarsvanLizamore

en Vygiesdal se Mense ontstaan.

Van Pretoria het hulle na Piet

Retief getrek en daarna na die

Strand, waar hulle sedert 2007

woon.

Ina vertel dat sy verlede jaar

Desember n gewrig gebreek het

en toe besluit het dat vanjaar

haar jaar van welslae sou wees.

Vroer di jaar het

Kwarts.co.za vyf van haar ma-

nuskripte Gekoopte Bruid,

Spensvol Griekse Stories, Vers-

skerwe, Peggy die afbeen makou-

wyfie van Somerset-Wes, en Die

Verkeerde Kuiergas goedge-

keur vir e-boeke.

Dt volg n syKwarts.co.za ge-

nader het toe haar oog onverwags

een van hul advertensies gevang

het terwylsydienommervanPro-

teahuis inPretoriaopdie internet

gesoek het.

Ek is opreg dankbaar dat hulle

my manuskripte min of meer in

n maand goedgekeur het.

Het ek vlerke gehad, het ek oor

onswoonstelgebou gesweef so bly

wasektoeekdiegoeienuushoor,

s Ina, wat gewoonlik romantiese

verhale skryf, maar tans besig is

met n kinderverhaalbundel van

verskillende plekke.

Afrikaanse mense kan nou

oorseemyboeke lees en geniet, en

so miskien ook terugverlang.

Well knownstory teller andauthorDori-

an Haarhof transported a crowd of avid

Herman Charles Bosman fans from a cold,

wet Helderberg to the stoep of Oom Schalk

Lourens in theGrootMarico. He delighted

the large gathering with the best of Bos-

man, ranging from tales of peach brandy

to a marathon singing of Psalm 119.

Patricia McNaught Davis, who organis-

es theevents,mediaandmarketing forHel-

derbergHospice said shewas thrilledwith

thelargeturnoutandthankedentertainers

Dorian and Henk who performed free of

charge and everyone else who supported

the event.

Friends Di Gillespie and Ro-

salee Truter with Dorian

Haarhof (aka Oom Schalk

Lourens). Rosalee first saw

Dorian performing as Oom

Schalk Lourens in Windhoek,

Namibia in 1983 and when

she heard that he was per-

forming in Somerset West,

said she just had to see him

again.
