Toilets destroyedin protestDALEEN FOUCHÉ

Lwandle residents rose up inprotest on Sunday 5 Januaryabout the lack of proper sanita-tion in the informal settlement.

Residents of the David Nkanti ar-eainLwandlebrokedownthenear-by permanent toilets and blockedOnverwacht Road with the rubble.

AccordingtoaLwandleresident,Nkosinathi Ralarala, the protest-ers do not have permanent toiletsin the David Nkanti area and haveto make use of the permanent toi-lets in another area.

He says only one of the eight toi-lets there was in a usable conditionand the rest were broken orblocked.

According to Constable Mtho-kozisi Gama, spokesperson for theLwandlepolice, theprotesters thenproceededtothehomeof localwardcouncillor,TongidumoMaxheketoshare their grievances.

Maxheke says he received an ur-gent phone call on Sunday while ata meeting in Worcester, informinghim that protesters were in his

house.He says he immediately drove

home to see what the problem was.On arrival at his house he saw

that protesters were still in hishouse, but his neighbours protect-edhispropertysonothinghadbeendamaged.

Maxheke told protesters to comeand see him in his office the follow-ing day to discuss their grievances.When the protesters arrived thefollowing day “in numbers”, theyexplained their need for perma-nent toilets.

“Only then did I realise what theproblem was,” Maxheke said.

Residents were supplied withtemporary toilets until the City ofCape Town could repair the stand-pipe toilets demolished during theprotest.

Maxheke says there are plansafoot to supply permanent toiletsin the David Nkanti area.

The City had not commented onthe issue at the time of going toprint.

Gama says no arrests have beenmade, but a case of public violenceis being investigated.

Plaaslike lynvissermanne hetVrydag 10 Januarie hulle tydeli-ke toestemming ontvang om toten met 28 Februarie uit te gaanop see, ten spyte van die feit dathulle permitte nie hernu is nie.

’n Storm het losgebars toe daarlandswyd slegs 115 lynvissermanneuit die 303 lynvissermanne se per-mitte hernu is op Oujaarsaand. Per-mitte is ook aan ’n 100 nuwe toetre-ders toegeken.In die Strand is slegs twee uit tien

permitte hernu en een nuwe permitis uitgereik.Tydens ’n dringende vergadering

tussen die Weskus- lynvisvereni-ging en die departement van land-bou, bosbou en visserye op Dinsdag7 Januarie, is daar toegegee dat lyn-vissermanne wat voorheen permit-te gehad het en meer as 300 dae tus-sen 2007 en 2012 visgevang het, tyde-lik kan visvang totdat dieappèlproses afgehandel is.Die besluit is wyd beskryf as ’n oorwinning

vir lynvissermanne en hul bemanningslede,maar Eugene Niemand van Strand sê hy issteeds onseker oor sy en sy tien bemanningsle-de se toekoms indien sy appèl nie slaag nie.Niemand was een van vele lynvissermanne

wat op Oujaarsaand die slegte nuus ontvanghet dat sy permit nie hernu is nie.Niemand verduidelik dat vissermanne eers

met die appèlproses kan beginwanneer die de-partementvanlandbou,bosbouenvisseryediepuntetoekenning aan lynvissermanne se aan-soeke en redes hoekom hulle aansoeke onsuk-sesvol was, oorhandig.ShaheenMoolla, ’n konsultant vir die visbe-

dryf, sê die puntetoekenning aan die aansoekeis “verdag”.Hy beskryf die departement van landbou,

bosbou en visserye se toewysing van permitteas “onwettig”. Alhoewel Moolla die tussentyd-se permit enappèl-prosesverwelkom,meenhydat lynvissermanne steeds regsaksie moetneem.Volgens homkandie besluit oor permit-te nie op ’n ministeriële vlak omgekeer wordnie en sal dit slegs in die hooggeregshof uitge-daag kan word. Hy verduidelik dat die stappenodig salwees omdat, volgenshom, slegs 18 ap-pèlle toegestaan kan word.

Niemand stem saam dat die puntetoeken-ning verdag lyk, omdat een van die vereistesvandie proses is dat diegenewat aansoek doenvir permitte ’n boot moet nomineer. Niemandsê van die nuwe permithouers het nie toegangtot bote nie.In ’n persverklaring verbind die departe-

ment homself daartoe om voor die einde vanvolgendeweekdie briewemet redes vir onsuk-sesvolle aansoeke en puntetoekennings aanvissermanne te oorhandig.Niemand sê indien die lynvissermanne nie

met die appèlproses permitte kry nie, sal dielynvisvereniging regstappe neem namens dievissermanne.“Ek is 100% afhanklik van die see en sonder

visvang het ek geen inkomste nie.” Niemand,wat grootgeword het in ’n vissersfamilie, sê hyhet skuld by private finansiers aangegaan virsy boot en toerusting, maar twyfel of hy dit salkanterugbetaalashyniemeerkanvisvangnie.Hy sê indien hy nie ’n permit kry nie, dwingdie departement hom om onwettig op te treeen vis te “steel”.“Hulle maak van eerlike mense skelms.”Lynvissermanne van die Strand het op Son-

dag 5 Januarie ’n vreedsame betoging by dieStrand-jetty gehou om hulle misnoeë met diedepartement se besluit te toon.

Stad ondersoek verblyfby Kay’s karavaanparkDALEEN FOUCHÉ

Die Stad Kaapstad gaan ’n ondersoekspansaamstelomdie“ingewikkelde”verblyfsi-tuasie by Kay’s Karavaanpark te onder-soek.

Dit volg nadat ’n brand op 13 Desember agthouthuise in die karavaanpark verwoes het.Skoonmaakpogings duur voort, met die StadKaapstad wat hand bygesit het op Nuwejaars-dag om dié proses te versnel.

Raadslid Garreth Bloor, die Stad se burge-meesterskomiteelid vir ekonomiese omge-wings en stadsbeplanning, sê dit wil voorkomof verskeie strukture ’n paar jaar gelede son-der toestemming in die karavaanpark opgerigis.SedertdienhetdieStaddiestruktureonder-soek en bevind dat die strukture nie perma-nent is nie en die bouregulasies dus nie hiervan toepassing is nie.

Bloor sê dit lyk egter asof inwoners perma-nent in die strukture woon, wat bedoel is om

slegs tydelike verblyf te verskaf en dat dít pro-blematies is. Hy het gesê die Stad sal die saakmet die eienaar van die park, Marcel Strump-her, bespreek.

Strumpher meen dat solank die strukturenie permanent is nie, maak dit nie saak hoelank die inwoners in die strukture woon nie.Hy sê as die Stad sy strukture wil verwyder,moet hulle al die Stad se informele nederset-tings verwyder. Die inwoners in die park hetgeen ander heenkome nie.

Strumpher sê hy het van sy vakansie-staan-plekke aan die inwoners wat hul huise verloorhet beskikbaar gestel. Dié inwoners het noutoegang tot water en elektrisiteit.

“Ek het ’n groot deel van my vakansie-in-komste verloor om die mense te akkommo-deer.”Die Burger het berig dat inwoners wat hul

huise verloor het nou gaan begin om hul huisete herbou. Alhoewel hulle reeds boumateriaalhet, is dit egter nie genoeg nie om hul huiseweer te bou nie.

Vriende vandieHelderberg inGordonsbaai het kosenhuishoudelike itemsaan inwoners vanKay’s karavaanparkgeskenk wat hulle huise in ’n brand verloor het. Hier is inwoners van Kay’s saam met die Vriende vandie Helderberg.
