GREEN POINT
Mansions maintainedNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
AGreen Point heritage building is beingincorporated into a multi-storey devel-opment.
But all the historical features of WarwickMansions are set to stay.
The building will be completely restored,says sales agent Ryan Joffe, and the win-dows, doors, floors, electrical wiring andplumbing is all all to be redone.
New bathrooms and kitchens will be fittedin the dozen “classically modern” apart-ments housed in the historical building.
In a fusion “of Cape heritage and of mod-ern style”, the property alongside WarwickMansions will be developed into a 12 storey
contemporary block, housing another 39apartments.
Due to the “significant” heritage of War-wick Mansions, the decision was made tocombine the old with the new, says Joffe.
“We spent a year working with HeritageWestern Cape, redesigning our new buildingto complement the old. We could not knockdown the old building and it’s very hard tomake a new building look old, so we wentfor very modern,” he says.
Green Point Ratepayers’ Associationspokesperson Luke Stevens says WarwickMansions is a well-known property.
“Entering Green Point from the city youcannot fail to notice it. Redolent of a periodwhen craft, detail and beauty counted formuch, it is seated on a splayed corner, gener-
ously set back from the street. It sets a signif-icant period tone to the suburb and breathessome graceful calm into the Main Road bus-tle,” he says.
“In a time where history counts for little,and when developers exploit every weak-ness in law, demolishing or eroding whatev-er Green Point built heritage they can buy,it is an absolute delight to see a buildingspared. The restoration and revitalisation ofthis building is all the more significant inthat this project clearly demonstrates in-vestment in the old is economically justifia-ble and that the outcome is desirable for buy-ers.”
However, the larger, contemporary part ofthe development is widely considered by res-idents “to be two floors higher than anybody
wishes”, Steven says.“This height, unfortunately, is within the
limits of what the Cape Town zoning schemepermits. On the positive side there are fairlygenerous setbacks.
“We hope the inevitable noise, dust anddisruption during construction do not causetoo great a financial hardship for surround-ing businesses,” he says.
The development will boast secure under-ground parking, fibre optic internet wiring,CCTV surveillance systems and 24-hour se-curity, Joffe says.
Approval for the development has beengiven by council and construction has al-ready started on site.
The sell-out value of the property is esti-mated at R220m.

Xhosa, a winning moveEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
The game of chess has becomemuch more accessible to Xhosa
speaking people of the WesternCape after the department of cul-tural affairs and sport (DCAS) inconjunction with Watu Kobese,handed over the isiXhosa chessbooks, the first of its kind, to fourschools last week.Kobese spent more than a year
developing the book, completewith authentic terminologies, cre-ating a new chess language for thewider Xhosa community in theprovince and the country.Kobese is one of the country’s
foremost chess players. He holdsthe title of international masterand he has represented South Afri-ca internationally onnumerous oc-cassions.
Kobese identified the need for aXhosa book on chess and workedtogether with DCAS to develop theXhosa terminology for chess piecesand moves.“Basically the need for the book
came through interaction withvarious communities and seeingthat at a certain age there was in-deed a need for such a book, espe-cially when you are trying to ex-plain to a six-year-old who has notyet had real exposure to Englishbut is keen (to play chess). I got tothe point where I was losing theplayers in terms of their interestwhen I was simply explaining thepieces and the meaning of the pie-ces,” said Kobese.Kobese said although chess has
become standardised after its ori-gins in India (Chaturanga) in the15th century, that even with theEuropean languages, the names of
the pieces arenot translated direct-ly. “Evenwithin the European lan-guages the pieces are a reflectionof their dynamics.”English is seen as the universal
language in today’s society, butwhen trying to explain chess in in-digenous languages, new wordsneed to be created in order tomakethe game more identifiable tosomeone not familiar with En-glish.“Sowe have, for example, pieces:
the rook has been translated to agun, but a big gun. Bishop is a spyin Xhosa and even the name ofchess has been changed or rein-vented and is called intimba (checkmate).”Kobese thankedDCASandAdvo-
cate Lyndon Bouah, chief directorof sport and recreation at DCAS inparticular for helping to make thebook a reality.

MOUILLE POINT
Residents losing sleep over snapsNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A new speed camera in Mouille Point maybe keeping some residents awake at
night.But road safety comes first, ward council-
lor Jacques Weber says.The speed camera was installed following
a number of complaints received from resi-dents concerning frequent speeding in thearea, says executive director for safety andsecurity Richard Bosman.“A survey was conducted which included
an analysis of accident statistics, the 85thpercentile speed, and vehicle volumes.Based on the results of the survey, it wasconcluded that the complaints of the resi-dents were valid and that a speed camerawas warranted,” he says.The City has a Traffic Violation Camera
Policy where certain site selection rulesmust be applied, explains Bosman. These in-clude the number of fatal and serious injurycollisions, high accident locations, 85th per-centile speed at site, percentage above thespeed limit and the classification of the road-way.
Constant noise“The City has a Camera Review Commit-
tee that dealswith any complaints regardinghigh speeds as well as any requests for theerection of a fixed speed camera,” he says.“The requests and complaints are investi-gated thoroughly by this committee beforea decision is made to erect a fixed camera.“The Camera Review Committee has the
final decision in the erection of the cameraas guided by the Traffic Violation CameraPolicy.”Residents in the blockMouille Sands have
raised concerns as to the location of the cam-era and strips across Beach Road as they aredirectly in front of their block, says MouillePoint Ratepayers’ Assocoation spokesper-son Jane Meyer.“Their main concerns are the constant
noise from vehicles driving over the stripson the tar; theplacementof twocameraunitson poles impacts directly on people’s viewsand subsequently negatively affects theirproperty values; the constant flashing of thecamera is also disruptive and intrusive; thelocation of the camera poles is a securityconcern due to their proximity to the blocksperimeter fence –making it easier for crimi-
nals to hop over using the poles as lever-age,” she explains.“We must stress that they are in favour
of the speed camera, but would have pre-ferred that the City locate the strips andcamera poles somewhere else where thenegative impact on nearby residentswould be far less andwithout the effective-ness of the camera being compromised.”Over the years the associaiton has re-
quested that the City introduce varioustraffic calming measures in Mouille Pointdue to the high speed that many vehiclestravel along this Beach Road stretch andtherefore the potential for accidents,
Meyer says.“The City has heeded our call and, after a
lengthy survey, saw fit to install a permanentspeed camera in our suburb which we are de-lighted about.“Had the City consulted us as to the pre-
ferred location we would have suggested thatthe strips and camera poles be situated just afew meters further down Beach Road in linewithRothesayRoad aswe believe that the neg-ative impact on residentswould be far less andthe effectiveness of the camera would not becompromised,” she says.
Little can be doneHowever, the City is not required to commu-
nicate with affected parties, and doesn’t do soas a matter of policy, Meyer says.Weber says he has received complaints of a
noise nuisance created as cars cross over theline measuring their speed.This is amplified as the noise bounces off
nearby buildings, he believes.However, there is little that can be done to
reduce the noise, Weber says, as the line ismade up of poly-carbon crystals.These crystals cannot be softened and as
line is what measures the speed cars are trav-elling at, it can’t be removed, he says.The camera has been installed to ensure a
safe environment, Bosman adds.“Any fixed speed camera is installed with
the intention of reducing the speed at whichvehicles travel above the allocated speed limitso that all road users may operate in a saferenvironment.”

City might step in to save harboursNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
In six months, council could be stepping into manage local harbours.This as Premier Helen Zille announced
last week the provincial government’s planto initiate an intergovernmental disputewith national government over the manage-ment of 12 small harbours in the province.
The harbours are currentlymanaged by thenational department of forestry and fisheries,although under the constitution small har-bours should fall to municipalities to be man-aged and maintained, Zille explains.
“Thismeans that, the in the case ofKalkBayand Hout Bay harbour, the City of Cape Townshould be managing this facility and not na-tional government. The same goes for the oth-er 12harbours and their respectivemunicipal-
ities. For the 12 fishing harbours to be up-graded and professionally run, wemaintain that the management thereofshould be transferred to local govern-ment,” she says.
BylawsWhile the dispute is being auctioned, by-
laws will be drafted to empower munici-palities to manage these harbours, Zillesays.
Mayor Patricia de Lille says the Special-ized Policy Unit and the City administra-tion will start the process of drafting theby-law imminently.“The process will in-clude public participation and will needcouncil approval. Therefore it will take be-tween three and six months,” she says.“Constitutional provisions entitle localgovernment to certain functions which in-clude management, harbour security,trading regulations, cleansing and accesscontrol amongst other functions.”
Zille says harbours play a critical rolein creating jobs and attracting invest-ment, as the Western Cape accounts for71% of the employment in the fishing in-dustry.
“Harbours also play a critical role in cre-ating jobs through tourism. A study pre-pared for the Western Cape Governmentshows that the most unique potential roleof harbours within the tourism valuechain is in terms of marine access.”
These include charters and specialistboat trips, sailing, power boating and per-sonal water craft related activities.
Upgrading is needed“Thousands of Western Cape families,
through fisherman and women, rely onthis sector for their livelihoods. When theharbours are in working order, people
have jobs. When the harbours are neglectedby national government, people lose theirjobs and resort to illegal means to make aliving,” she says.
Zille says the provincial government hasattempted to resolve the management prob-lem since taking office in 2009, thorough aseries ofmeeting and engagements. As thesehavenot led to a solution, the provincial gov-ernment felt obliged to initiate the intergov-ernmental dispute.
This follows a recent announcement bythe president, Jacob Zuma, of the establish-ment of a small harbours development au-thority and the rehabilitation and upgradeof small harbours at Gansbaai, SaldanhaBay, Struisbaai, Gordon’s Bay and Lam-bert’s Bay. “While the identified harboursdo indeed require upgrading and rehabilita-tion, all 12 are in fact desperate need of suchaction. Constitutionally, this actionmust betaken by local government, with adequatefunds apportioned for these purposes by thenational treasury,” she says
“The commitment we are making to thefishing community is one of well-managed,world class facilities that createmore oppor-tunities, jobs and better livelihoods than iscurrently possible”.
The Department of Agriculture, Forestryand Fisheries had not commented at thetime of going to print.
However, somebelieve the change inman-agement is too little, too late.
Former Kalk Bay harbour master Pat Sta-cey believes the only way to save the har-bour is to privatise it. “Government doesn’thave the expertise in managing harbours. Idon’t see a future for harbours unless theyare privatised and run like a business. Theresource won’t be able to sustain the har-bour for much longer and we need to boostthe tourism side,” he says.
Council will begin drafting bylaws to take over management of small harbours. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

New site for skate parkAmid community requests, a plan to es-
tablish a skate park in Green Point maybe revitalized.Plans to create a cycle and skate park in
Green Point stalled early last year. Theplan, released in 2013, looked to create acomprehensive space for BMX riders,skateboarders and rollerbladers was an-nounced (“Wheels of change stop turning”,People’s Post, 3 April 2014)However, a year after the proposal, a final
plan for the park had still not been drawnup. This despite the process of tendering ex-pected to be completed and construction ex-pected to start by the end of last year.Ward councillor Jacques Weber says the
skate park has been raised by a number ofcommunitymembers, prompted a relook atthe concept.However, no formal planning has been
started.
“The areawhich has been potentially dis-cussed is the land opposite the police sta-tion. The reason for this is that it is re-moved from high residential areas and be-ing near the police station would allow forincreased safety. The area in mention is al-so situated close to the urban park and oth-er physical activity institutions,” he says.National Skate Collective foundingmem-
ber Marco Morgan previously told People’sPost that there is a critical need for skateparks and skate facilities inCapeTown, ow-ing to the growth of the culture and thesport.Weber says: “There are a lot of people,
both young kids and adults, who skatearound the area and do not have safe spaceto skate. Most skaters are utilising publicopen spaces or roads andwhich does not al-ways provide the ideal safe conditions forskating,” he says.
No loss for words: At the annual Provincial Debating Tournament held at UCT onSaturday 15 August, the DSK Junior Debating Team challenged the might of theestablished debating world. The five students emerged as semi-finalists, losing only toLa Rochelle Girls’ High School from Paarl. Mahe Bodard, Naomi Mhlanga-Arnott, ErikPolzin, Kirsty Tredoux and Wilder Zimmer have made DSK history in going as far as thesemi-finals for the first time. Wilder was judged best speaker of the tournament andhe and Mahe have been selected to contend for places in the Western Cape ProvincialTeam later this year.

The accessibility of public places is beingput under the spotlight by the newly reg-
istered Association for Hearing Loss Acces-sibility & Development (AHLAD) NGOwhopromote the interests and rights of peoplewith hearing loss.According to the UN Convention on the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities, peolewith disabilites, including those with hear-ing loss, should have full access to partici-pate in everyday life.In South Africa, about 7.5 percent of
school-going children have varying degreesof hearing loss and approximately one-thirdof persons older than 65 years are affectedby disabling hearing loss.AHLAD chairpersonMichele Tonks, who
has a daughter with hearing loss, says theirwork is not only about supporting persons
with hearing loss to attain their maximumlevel of independence and integration intothe community, but also about lobbying atvarious levels for subtitles on televisionprogrammes, SMS services fromcompaniesproviding emergency andmedical services,and preventing the occurrence of deafness.Casual Day ambassador Simone Botha
wasbornprofoundly deaf, butwas the recip-ient of a cochlear implant when she was 22months old. A graduate of the UCT BalletSchool and member of the AHLAD execu-tive committee, she says she was “luckyenough” to have the benefit of this technol-ogy and she wants others to have it too.“Employment is a huge hassle,” says
Tonks, “as some companies do not accom-modate those with hearing loss, or if theydo, they are blocked out and hear absolute-ly nothing.”She encourages companies to attend
worskshops so they can be aware of the
necessary requirments needed.“This is a huge leap for us in the battle
to put hearing impairment on the agenda.Most people rub shoulders with hearing im-pairment in their day-to-day lives, so let usall stand together to create a more accessi-ble and nurturing society,” she says.“We are a group of passionate volunteers
and we need community support to do ourwork. So Spring into Action for Casual Day,on 4 September.”V For more information contact Michele at www.in[email protected]

“It demonstrates how independ-ent artists and arts companies arepassionately engaging with theworld around them and bringingthat experience to theirwork,”Ma-homed said, adding that more pro-ductions are likely be added in the
coming weeks as contractual andother discussions are concluded.
While the programme comprisesmostly theatre, dance, perform-ance art, physical theatre, music,family theatre and magic willround off the 11-day festival.
This year’s line-up aims to offera wide choice, ensuring that theFringe matches the vibrancy andcreativity of other Fringe Festivalsworldwide.
