A heritage site earmarked for a new fo-rensic pathology centre is being trou-bled by vagrancy.

Security at the Observatory building, cur-rently standing vacant next to Groote Schu-ur Hospital, has been beefed up after reportsof street people making themselves at homeon the premises.The vacant building is evidently in a state

of disrepair, with windows broken andcracks in exterior walls.The City of Cape Town’s Displaced Per-

sons Unit received a complaint from a busi-ness owner on Main Road, Observatory, inJanuary, says Safety and Security executivedirector Richard Bosman.“Thematterwas dealtwith by theunit and

referred to the Department of Public Worksformonitoring. This building is not listed onthe City’s Problem Buildings list; howeveran investigating officer will go out and as-sess the property to see if it is a problembuilding,” he says.Observatory Improvement District secu-

rity supervisor Ivor Manuel says althoughthe building falls out of their jurisdiction,there have been several complaints about it.“It’s quite dangerous there. People have

called in to say they can see people jumpinginto the building or breaking out the win-dow frames. There has even been a firecaused by vagrants. It can get bad there –sometimes criminals use it as a hideout,”says Manuel.“It is owned by the hospital, so there is

nothing we can do. We’ve tried to ask thehospital to secure it, but were just sent from

pillar to post.”PublicWorks spokespersonAl-AmeenKa-

faar says the building is currently vacant,but has been chosen as the site for the reloca-tion of the Salt River Forensic PathologyLaboratory.In themeantime, securitymeasures are in

place.“The new facility is anticipated to be

ready for use mid-2017. The building is cur-rently vacant and complaints have been re-ceived with regard to vagrancy. The va-grants have, however, been removed fromthe site and there are two security guardsper day shift and two per nightshift,” hesays.The building was reportedly once a bot-

tling factory for Pepsi Cola, before being tak-en over by Groote Schuur Hospital in the1970s.

When the bottling plant closed down, thebuilding was used by the hospital’s artisanworkforce and was home to an army of fit-ters, turners, tool makers, carpenters,plumbers and electricians who all ensuredthe smooth daily running and upkeep of thehospital. “The building dates from around1950 and has heritage value. The structurehas architectural elements of interest, inparticular the Art Deco/Early Modern frontfaçadewhichwould be retained in the devel-opment of the site,” Kafaar says.Construction of the newForensic Patholo-

gy Institute, which will replace the Salt Riv-er Mortuary, is expected to start this year.The institute will consolidate pathology

services offered at Salt RiverMortuary withadditional laboratory services such as ento-mology, odontology, histopathology andmo-lecular forensics.

KENSINGTON: RED TAPE SURROUNDING FIRE DEBRIS

School’s infernofrustrationNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Six months after an inferno rippedthrough Kenmere Primary, staff andpupils are still waiting for debris left by

the flames to be removed.The blaze gutted four classrooms, a store-

room and one of the boys’ toilets.Notebooks, textbooks, teachers’ files and

other equipment were lost in the fire.The four gutted classroomshavenowbeen

cordoned off to prevent pupils from cuttingthemselves on broken glass, but principalAndre Johannessen has been left fearing pu-pils may fall ill due to the charred asbestosroofing.“The asbestos debris is a health risk. As

I understand regulations, the school shouldbe closed due to the danger staff and pupilsare in,” he says.The delay has been caused by red tape, Jo-

hannessen believes.A contractor was appointed after an as-

sessment and tender process, but he was notaccredited to work with asbestos material,he says.“We’ve notified the department that the

school and governing body will not be re-sponsible for any lawsuits should a pupil orstaffmember become sick from the asbestos.The process is just taking too long.“The ball is rolling, but very slowly. In the

case of an emergency like this, things needto be done faster.”At the time of going to print, the Depart-

ment of Public Works had not responded toqueries.However, this is not the first time the

school has been left waiting for provincialdepartments to act.Two weeks before the blaze, a smaller fire

broke out in the boys’ toilet as a result of anelectrical problem (“Inferno razes class-rooms”, People’s Post, 13 March).No repairs were carried out after the ini-

tial blaze, says Johannessen, owing to a slowresponse time from provincial departments.The fire hydrants, fixed at the beginning

ofMarch, had nowater supply sinceNovem-ber 2011, he says.The damaged toilet has resulted in only

six urinals being available for the 450 boysin the school, says Johannessen.The school has also only just received mo-

bile classrooms intended to replace the dam-aged rooms.Until now, staff havebeen forced touseun-

suitable rooms such as the library, compu-ter class and school hall for lessons.

DANGER ZONE: Debris and broken glass are stilllining the corridors affected by the blaze, as redtape holds up cleaning efforts.

A scrap yard has come under fire afterresidents claim it is operating illegal-ly and causing traffic congestion.

The scrap yard, which trades in damagedBMWvehicles, has been storing and operat-ing from premises in 7th Avenue, residentshave reported. Witnesses say the street isoften blocked by a forklift moving the vehi-cles.Ken/Fac Ratepayers’ Association mem-

ber Leslie Swartz says: “On four occasions,mainly on Saturday mornings, as many as10 scrap BMW vehicles line the street – notthe pavement – with a hyster using the oth-er lane to pick up these scrap, damaged orwheelless vehicles and manoeuvre them.This causes obvious frustrations to motor-ists. This unhealthy operation takes placebetween 8:00 and about 14:00 on Saturdays.”In addition to witnessing the activity,

Swartz has received several complaintsfrom the community.Owner Bruce Craig says the premises are

only used for storage of scrap vehicles. Theoperating premises are in 16th Avenue.“When the scrap vehicles become too

many we arrange for them to be collected.This means we have to move hulls aroundwith a forklift occasionally. We try our besttokeep thehulls on thepavement topreventany traffic congestion. It won’t happenagain,” he says.Police have meanwhile acted on the com-

plaints, slapping the ownerwith a fine, sayspolice spokesperson Sergeant David Stem-met.“We received allegations of second-hand

vehicles being stored at the premises. Aninvestigation into the matter was done bythe second-hand goods coordinator and itwas found the ownerwas indeed storing ve-hicles at the premises. In terms of the Sec-

ond-HandsGoodsAct,Act 9 of 2009, anyper-son who conducts business on more thanone premises – or where goods are storedon additional premises –must register eachpremises as a second-hand dealer premises.He must be in possession of a certificatewhich is issued by the station commanderof that police precinct,” says Stemmet.Because the owner had failed to comply,

police issued a R500 fine, Stemmet says.However, Craig says the fine was issued

after an error when filing paperwork.“We have four properties. We informed

the police when we took over the 7th Ave-nue property which is just a storage facili-ty. The police now have a copy of all fourof our leases,” he says.Johan van der Merwe, the City of Cape

Town’s Mayoral Committee member forEconomic, Environmental and SpatialPlanning, says no permission has beengranted for a scrap yard to operate on the7th Avenue site.An inspectionwas to be carried out on the

property, he adds.“If the activity does not comply with the

zoning for the area, a notice will be servedcalling for the owners to cease the activity.”According to feedback given to the com-

munity during a site inspection officersfound vehicles were only being stored onthe premises and were not blocking thestreets. Residents were advised to take pho-tographs to submit as evidence.However, the community is calling for

more decisive action, Swartz says.“If these vehicles are stored at the proper-

ty as indicated, then I’m dumbstruck thatthese vehicle cannot be storedat theproper-ty in 16th Avenue in the first place,” hesays.Craig says the business has several prop-

erties, as most are not big enough to storethe quantity of scrap vehicles the businessdeals with.

FUNERAL ASSISTANCE: ACCOMMODATING THE HOMELESS

Groundwork for burial policyASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A proposed draft policy aims to providehomeless people with a simple anddignified burial.

The City of Cape Town’s proposed draftpolicy provides a choice of a weekday burialor cremation which is subject to certain cri-teria and conditions.

Belinda Walker, Mayoral Committeemember for the City’s Community Servicesand Special Projects, says it is not a “burialpolicy” or “funeral policy” but a draft policyguideline to provide aid to the destitute.

“The policy is currently in a draft formatand will need to undergo a public participa-tion process before it is adopted as a policyby council,” she says.

Currently the requests for burial or cre-mation of destitute persons are processedand addressed within an established prac-tice, in the absence of an approved policy.

Walker says the proposed policy will for-malise current best practice and allow fora more structured decision-making processand ensure legal compliance.

“The draft policy has a set of qualifyingcriteria with regard to burial or cremationsof destitute persons,” she says.

These include that the deceased did nothave an income greater than the State OldAge Pension or State Disability Pension; thedeceased did not have an insurance policyor estate which could be used to pay for theburial; the deceased died in destitute cir-cumstances, and no next-of-kin or relativewith a legal duty to support the deceased,and with sufficient means, is able to pay forthe burial or cremation costs; and no otherperson, NGO or welfare organisation can be

found to pay for the burial or cremationcosts.

The City may exercise its sole discretionto accept an application for a destitute buri-al without compliance of the aforesaid crite-ria to fulfil those obligations.

Walker says advertisement of the draftpolicy is likely to take place in July and willbe available for viewing and public com-ment for 30 days. “The draft policy will beavailable at all public libraries and on theCity’s website,” she says.

No registration is required. “Anyone whodies in destitute circumstances in accord-ance with the said criteria may qualify forassistance with burial or cremation. Home-less people and occupants of old age homesand shelters have all received assistancefrom the City in the past,” she adds.

The public will be made aware of this poli-cy via local subcouncils, clinics, libraries,shelters and old age homes.

“The public can submit comments on thedraft policy during the public participationprocess and no direct fee is required fromthe public.”

She says the policy will be implementedonly after it has gone through the requiredpublic participation process, all commentsare incorporated, and it has been approvedby council. “We will always endeavour toensure people can bury and mourn theirloved ones according to their cultural andreligious beliefs.”

She says this is why the City provides theoption of burial assistance.

“We also provide the option of transport-ing the deceased to a place of worship orhouse for a dignified, simple service beforebeing transported to the gravesite or crema-torium.”

PEOPLE'S POST | WOODSTOCK | MAITLANDThursday, 12 June 2014 NEWS 5WOODSTOCK: ALBERT ROAD SOON TO BE CAR-FREE

Street fever is hereNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Woodstock resi-dents are takingback the street.

The community, OpenStreets Cape Town andcouncil are in discussionabout an Open Streetsevent to be held in Wood-stock later this year.

Although dates haveyet to be finalised, OpenStreets Cape Townspokesperson MarcelaGuerrero Casas says theorganisation is hoping tobring the event to AlbertRoad and part of Sir Low-ry Road.

Open Streets CapeTown is both an organisa-tion and a philosophywhich seeks to influencepublic life and policy onthe design and use of pub-lic streets, closing thestreets to cars and open-ing them to pedestrians.

“The concept of OpenStreets has evolved rap-idly in Cape Town froman idea promoted by a group of volunteerswho came together in 2012 into a dynamicurban transformation agenda that stemsfrom the realisation that South Africanstreets and public spaces could be muchmore than they are,” says Guerrero Casas.

“By embracing the concept and princi-ples of Open Streets, a platform is createdfor citizens to actively promote the creationof shared public places that embody respectfor everyone and help bridge social and eco-nomic divides.”

Woodstock has been on the cards for anevent since last year, she says.

“Following the first Open Streets in Ob-servatory last year, residents in Woodstockhave expressed strong interest in having anOpen Streets day in their area. Further-more it is a natural progression for the pro-gramme which aims to link different partsof the city. There is already very positiveenergy around the concept of Open Streetson Lower Main and we are hoping it willspill over (literally and figuratively) ontoneighbouring Woodstock and Salt River,”she says.

Woodstock Outreach Forum spokesper-son Rashaad Martin says community mem-bers were involved in the Observatoryevent to put their suburb on display.

“We were at the past event to show peoplewhat Woodstock is all about. We hope theOpen Streets event will get Albert Roadalive again. It’s being used by some, but wehope to get locals using it to its full potential

and create a recreational space,” he says.LauraMeyer, spokesperson for theUpper

Woodstock Residents’ Association, says theprevious events were inspiring.

“I really love that the events are non-com-mercial because it encourages residents toexplore how we can use our streets, otherthan driving on them. It’s a great way forthe community to come together and I’m re-ally excited that the event is expanding toother neighbourhoods,” she says.

The event will be funded primarily by theCity of Cape Town, partnered with OpenStreet Cape Town but local residents andbusinesses are encouraged to contribute indifferent ways, Guerrero Casas says.

“Our aim is to changehowstreets are per-ceived, used and experienced. Woodstock isa particularly good place to enable resi-dents the opportunity to do that. By trans-forming streets into temporary car-freespaces,OpenStreets offer a simple, yet pow-erful strategy that can help tackle localchallenges,” she says.

“Local communities in Woodstock willhave the opportunity to creatively utilisestreets andurban spaces that couldhelp fos-ter positive community engagement. OpenStreets have demonstrated a positive im-pact on local businesses, promoting alter-native uses of the street and community in-teraction. It will be a chance for Capeto-nians from all walks of life to enjoy thepublic space togetherwithnochargeor con-dition of admission.”

PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY: Albert Road has been earmarked to holdon Open Streets event, which will see the road closed to traffic.

@henryspoke

When he played his first match for theCape Cobras three years ago, DanePiedt never imagined that he would

be called up for the Proteas test squad to tourSri-Lanka this winter.

Off-spinner Piedt (24), a Lansdowne resi-dent, was instrumental in his franchise’sSunfoil Series win last season, boasting withmatch bowling figures of 7/97 and 92 runsin the first innings of his team’s final four-day match against in Lions in Johannesburgin April. He was also the tournament’s lead-ing wicket-taker, with 45 wickets in justeight matches.

The United Cricket Club member repre-sented South Africa during the EmergingPlayers Tournament against India, Austral-ia and New Zealand in Australia last year.

Last week Piedt was one of three SunfoilSeries Cricketer of the Season nominees atthe annual Cricket South Africa Awards.The award was eventually scooped by hisCobras teammate and captain, Justin On-tong. He will be part of the South African

squad to tour Sri-Lanka from Tuesday 6 toSaturday 24 July. The two sides will do battlein three One Day Internationals and two testmatches. The former Old Mutual CricketClub player spoke to People’s Post about be-ing selected for the Proteas squad.People’s Post: Coming from Lansdowne

and seeing the other young men in your areanot living out their talents, what inspiredyou to turn to sport? Why cricket?Dane Piedt: It’s the passion for the game

and what I’ve sacrificed to get where I am.I never wanted to throw that opportunityaway. I must admit that I was a soccer loverand wanted to play football as a professional,but fortunately over the years I grew closerto the game of cricket.PP:Who inspired you and where did it all

begin?DP: My parents inspired me over the

years. My dad used to throw cricket balls tome in the garden all day while I was growingup.PP: As a teenager watching Paul Adams

on television representing his country, whatrole does he play as your cricket coach?DP: Paul Adams has been with me since

I was 18 years old and knows my game betterthan anybody else. I like the fact that I canalways speak to him about anything.PP: When you got the call that you were

selected to the Proteas squad, who were thefirst people you told and how did you feel?DP:My parents! It was the best day of my

life. I still do not know how to react, it’s afeeling I cannot describe.PP: Who is the father figure in the Cape

Cobras team and why?DP: I think it would be Vernon Philander.

He has always been there for me and hassuch a big passion for the game.PP: What is your main focus for the Sri-

Lankan tour?DP: Right now it’s to have a successful

tour and to contribute to the team to the bestof my ability.PP: Do you have any words of wisdom for

youngsters from Lansdowne who will be fol-lowing your every step?DP: Just believe in your talents and skills

and never give up on your dreams. What Iachieved is a perfect example of dreams com-ing true.V Follow Dane on Twitter @dane–piedt63. Dane Piedt PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Enterprising Super A clashesLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Hamiltons can take a majorleap towards claiming theSuper League A title when

they host Helderberg at theStephen Oval on Saturday.

South Africa’s oldest clubkicked-off their league campaignshortly after a heart-breaking lossin the semi-finals of the Communi-ty Cup, but the disappointmentseems to have proved the perfectmotivation.

Hammies have been ruthless inthe league this season, ensuringvictories in all six of their fixtures,regardless of their performance,and are one of just two undefeatedsides in the competition.

The Sea Point side currentlyhold fourth on the table with 28points and at least one game in-hand on all of the top three.

UCT currently lead the stand-ings on 35 points after eightgames, while Maties are second on32 points after seven fixtures andFalse Bay are third on 30 aftereight games.

But with the top three all out ofaction this weekend, Hammieshave the opportunity to make upground.

Five points gleaned from anoth-er bonus point victory will pushHamiltons to 33 points and secondon the table.

After last Saturday’s 71-15 demo-lition of bottom-placed NNK inParow, few will doubt Hammies’ability to do just that.

SK Walmers are the next side toface NNK and should also cruiseto victory at the Green PointTrack on Saturday.

NNK have lost all eight of theirgames this season, conceding anaverage of 50 points per game.

While Walmers are fifth withfive wins and four losses. Theyshould claim their second win ina row on Saturday, after theyedged Tygerberg 22-21 away fromhome last week.

Primrose will look to avoid slip-ping into a losing streak after lastSaturday’s defeat, but will have toovercome much tougher opposi-tion to do so.

Roses hosted False Bay at Ros-mead last week, but home-groundadvantage did not prevent thehosts from suffering a 46-36 victo-ry.

Primrose are 10th on the table,with 14 points after two wins, adraw and five losses.

One Saturday they face ninth-placed Durbanville-Bellville, whohave racked up 14 points afterthree wins and three losses.

Both sides have been inconsist-ent this season, but the fixture willbe entertaining regardless ofwhich team eventually wins.V All fixtures will start at 16:00.
