Developments around the stadium will impact on already burdened roads in Green Point, a traffic report has found. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

GREEN POINT

‘Traffic will only be worse’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Traffic on Green Point’s main roads isset to worsen if developments aroundthe stadium go ahead, residents be-

lieve.A recent traffic impact assessment (TIA)

carried out as part of the rezoning applica-tion for the stadium, found that although thedevelopment of the stadium can be accom-modated on the existing road infrastructure,the development of other sites as well as thestadium would increase congestion. Thiswould necessitate measures to deal with thecongestion.

The rezoning application proposes a newsite next to the stadiumonGrangerBayBou-levard and the provincial government is re-leasing parcels of land in the Somerset pre-cinct for development. There is also ongoingdevelopment at the V&A Waterfront, whichincludes a proposed expansion towardsGranger Bay.

The assessment confirms what residentsare already observing, says Luke Stevens,spokesperson of the Green Point Ratepay-ers’ Association.

“Broadly speaking, the TIA shows thatHelen Suzman Boulevard can and shouldcarry a much higher volume of traffic thanMain Road; indeed it manages to do so in themorning rush hour towards the city,” hesays.

However in the evening period, because ofthe unfinished flyover, the right-turn inter-section at Buitengracht and Hans Strijdomroads reaches full capacity, with traffic di-verted onto the Somerset Road/ Main Roadcorridor, Stevens explains.

“The 2144 cars per hour that already thun-der along this road each afternoon under-score the lost opportunity for people to dosimple human things like speak: Pedestri-ans can barely hear one another, pavement-facing businesses lose foot traffic and the so-called bicycle route along Somerset Roadsection becomes a complete joke. The situa-tion is poised to become much worse,” hesays.

The TIA report suggests a lower scale de-velopment on the Granger Bay Boulevardsite, next to the stadium, to limit the traffic

impact. The City of Cape Town would liketo implement this proposal, says GarrethBloor, mayoral committee member for tour-ism, events and economic development.

“Partly based on the TIA, a decision wasmade to submit a rezoning application forthemediumdevelopment scenario. Thiswilllimit the bulk and height of the develop-ment,” he says.

In a growing city, the increased use of pri-vate cars inevitably results in increasedtraffic congestion, Bloor says.

“This is why the City and provincial au-thorities arepromotingpublic transport andinvesting heavily in it. In time, partial sig-nalisation at the Green Point traffic circlewill be implemented to increase capacity forthe eastbound approach. This is expected to

provide more balance in approach flows atthe circle,” he says.

However, this will not be enough to pre-vent heavy congestion, Stevens says.

He believes the development of the Gran-ger Bay Boulevard site and Somerset pre-cinct will also break the intersections withGranger Bay Boulevard at Main Road andHelen Suzman Boulevard.

“The proposal is for partial signalisationof the traffic circle; this will destroy anychance of diverting outbound traffic fromGreen Point onto Helen Suzman. Frustratedmotorists weighing up the disadvantage ofbeing held back by yet another set of redlights will certainly choose the freedom ofa rat-run along Main Road,” he says.

“It seems that motorists are certain to be

moving at less than walking pace through-out Green Point and Mouille Point withinthe next five years.”

Abold change of thinking is nowrequired,Stevens says. “By way of example, perma-nent pedestrianisation of the Fan Mile alongSomerset Road to block through-trafficmight finally bring about the change in be-haviour that sees bus, bicycle and foot trafficbecome preferred modes of travel for visi-tors and residents.”

City officials are evaluating the applica-tion and will prepare a report to the council,Bloor says. “A decision by the municipalityon the land use application for the stadiumwill not take place until the decision hasbeen made by the competent authority deal-ing with the environmental application.”

Gun tracking ‘impractical’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A section of the Firearms Control ActAmendment Bill is in the firing line.

The amendment proposes a new trackingsystem for guns by rolling out the use of mi-crodots and ballistic sampling.Ballistic sampling and microdots will be

used on all guns held by official institutions,including the police.Within a year of the date of the bill, police

will have to have all firearms logged. Theballistic loggingwill then be rolled out to thesecurity industry and lastly to private gunowners during their relicensing.

StriationsBut firearm owner and dealer Alan Mar-

theze says ballistic sampling is a measurethat only works faultlessly on TV shows, asstriations on a cartridge do not remain thesame indefinitely.Ben Coetzee, arms management project

manager of the Institute for Security Stud-ies, says the striations on a cartridge willchange with use over time.“They can also be altered because of rust

from a lack of maintenance and care or evenby cleaning the weapon with brushes andscrapers that are harder than the surfacesthey are used on,” he explains.Traceability Solutions’ Kyle Parker, who

specialises in the marking, managementand reporting of weapons, says it is not diffi-cult to purposely alter these striations.“Even firing pins can be swapped, filed

and altered as the criminal wishes,” he says.Cartridges are also often refilled by industryprofessionals and used again, which makesregistering a specific striation to one ownerimpossible, Martheze says.Parker says: “Part of the amendment also

mentions so much about microdoting,

which I am sure gun owners will not like ei-ther. Thesemicrodots can be removed easilyby criminals by putting the weapon intosome pool acid for a bit and then they aregone.”Using microdots to trace firearms is just

as impractical, Martheze believes, as stan-dard gun cleaning will easily removemicro-dots over time.

ImplementationThe implementation of the amendment

bill poses challenges too, Coetzee believes.Testing firearms will require them to be

brought to a specific testing location.“The most serious concern is the number

of firearms that will be congregated at a spe-cific point for the test to be performed. Secu-rity during these tests will be a nightmare,and every person that is on his way to thetest site will be at risk,” he says.The manpower to carry out tests is also

lacking. With an estimated 2.5m privatelyowned firearms, it would take years to carryout the process, Coetzee estimates.This year, a similar law in the United

States was repealed after attempts to imple-ment an imaging database for 15 years. Thelaw was described as “simply not working”.

AlternativesParker believes there are other solutions

that will be easier to implement if manage-ment issues are ironed out.“All the weapons (over 99%) in the police

aremarkedwith our technology. A legal bat-tle with the company that did the softwarethat uses our marking systems means theyare not able to use the solution as it was in-tended. Get a new provider of the platform,use what is marked now and get a tightergrip on the police as well as private securityand civilian weapons,” he suggests.The proposed sampling will have signifi-

cant impact on legal firearm owners, saysJohn Welch of the South African Gun Own-ers’ Association. “The firearm owner is sup-posed to supply at least five rounds of ammu-nition for ballistic sampling. Some ammuni-tion is priced up to R2000 per cartridge.Collectors’ pieces are to be kept in pristinecondition and are not to be fired,” he says.“The discharging by the policewill almost

certainly deteriorate the value of the fire-arm and inmany instances the ammunitionis extremely scarce and the ownermight on-ly have a few rounds of original ammunitionfor his collection.”If the firearm is lost or stolen and then

used in a crime, the owner may be linked tothat crime, Welch says.

Ballistics still neededAlthough the processwill have significant

costs “with little return on investment”,there is still a place for ballistic sampling.“There are many different uses for fire-

arms and taking ballistic samples may helpto recover these firearms or at least contri-bute to the process of linking the firearm toa crime. As prevention, state-owned fire-arms should be sampled because they are ru-moured to be rented to criminals. There areseveral good reasons to start such a pro-gramme and the possible benefitsmight out-weigh the drawbacks,” Coetzee says.The process may also be a deterrent to

criminals but there is not likely to be a sig-nificant decrease in firearm-related crime,he says. “I cannot reconcile the idea of a le-gal firearm owner lurking about in the darkshooting people and then going home to locktheir registered firearm safely in the SABS-approved safe inhishome. I alsodonot thinkthe criminal will care if the firearm that heobtained illegally was ballistically sampledand I do not think that will deter him fromusing the weapon in any crime.”

Concerns have been raisedabout the effectiveness ofamendments to theFirearms Control Act, whichcalls for ballistic sampling ofprivately owned guns.

Withmore episodes of loadshedding loom-ing, the City of Cape Town has outlinedthe conditions for residents who arethinking of buying a generator.According to Ernest Sonnenberg, may-

oral committee member for utility servi-ces, all installations of generatorsmust besafe and legal.Sonnenberg says in a statement that

permission from the City’s electricity ser-vices department is only needed if thestandby generator is going to be synchro-nised or connected to the City’s electricalnetwork. If the generator is to be operatedin isolation from the City’s network, aswill be the case in thevastmajority of resi-dential generator installations, permis-sion is not required.“The City does, however, recommend

that an electrician install it.”

Residents should also ensure that theirgenerators are not too noisy. Care shouldbe taken that noise emanating from theirproperty does not cause a disturbance. Ifthe City receives a complaint, a notice tocease will be issued.“I appeal to residentswith generators to

please take extra care to soundproof theirdevices. In times of loadshedding, whentensions are already running high, thiskindofnoisedisturbance can test even themost patient among us,” says Sonnen-berg.He adds that residents should also be

considerate about emissions that theirgenerator might give off. If any residentfeels that the smell or smoke of theirneighbour’s generator is causing a nui-sance, they are welcome to submit a com-plaint.

Graffiti targets historic wallNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Graffiti taggers have beenwarned to respect public spa-

ces, after a City Bowl heritage spotwas defaced.A group of taggers left half a doz-

en illegal pieces of graffiti through-out the City Bowl, says ward coun-cillor Dave Bryant.The tagging, all done by the same

group, were recently seen dottedthrough the Tamboerskloof, Bo-Kaap and upper CBD areas.“This is not common in the City

Bowl andmostmural artists are re-spectful of public space in the area,especially heritage sites such asthe historic Buitengracht Streetstone wall,” he says.Graffiti murals and artworks

have to comply with City of CapeTown bylaws, which require an ap-plication, including a sketch of theproposedmural and permission bythe site’s owner.However, the tagging falls far

from artistic murals, Bryant says.“This sort of graffiti can only

really be termed as vandalism. Ihave great respect for our im-mensely talented mural artistswho have contributed incrediblepieces in the CBD which add agreat deal to the urban environ-ment. The same can’t be said forthis type of childish vandalism,”he says.Removing graffiti as soon as pos-

sible goes a long way to preventfurther vandalism, Bryant adds.“I reported the graffiti to the

City’s graffiti unit who removedeveryone of the tags they could findwithin two days. The simple mes-sage to these sorts of vandals is thatthey are merely wasting their timeand spraypaint by engaging in thiskind of illegal tagging,” he says.“The City will simply remove or

paint over your tags when they arereported. Anyone wishing to con-tribute a piece of public art to theCity can apply for a permit to do soand we will happily engage to seehow we can assist.”Graffiti in itself is unsightly in

any neighbourhood but it is theknock-on effect that it can createthat is the real area of concern,says Community Police Forumspokesperson Nicola Jowell.“The presence of graffiti has

been shown to be a direct contribu-tor to the increase in other anti-so-cial behaviour such as litteringand drinking in public. There is adirect and very serious concernthat it results in an increase ingang activity,” she says.“We encourage all members of

the community to keep an eye outfor graffiti and report it as soon aspossible so that it can be removed.The removal of graffiti is also asign to everyone that people takecare of their neighbourhoods andare looking out for their area andeach other.”

Half a dozen sites have been tagged bya group of City Bowl graffiti artists.

Right: The historic stone wall in BuitengrachtStreet also fell victim.

Blood donors save livesTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Thirtyminutes fromyou is a life-time for someone else.”This is the message that theWP

Blood Transfusion Service(WPBTS) is spreading to encour-age people to donate blood.At lease 80 000 people in the

province are donating blood butthe WPBTS wishes to increasethat number so that more livescan be saved. Itswish is that it hasa constant supply of blood tomakesure that it can quickly help thosewho need it. The organisation isdoing everything possible tomake sure that everyone is awareof its services.As Blood Donor Month just

started and the world celebratesBlood Donor Day on 14 June, peo-

ple are encouraged to come outand make a difference. By donat-ing blood people can save those onthe verge of dying or help thosethat need to improve their lives.The theme for this year is

“Thank you for saving my life”.This is meant as a message of ap-preciation from the people whohave been helped.However, the WPBTS is not

waiting for that to make a differ-ence. Throughout Blood DonorMonth it will have a blood buzzroadshow – a bus will visit differ-ent areas to raise awareness aboutthe importance of donating. It willalso be a mobile donating centre.Dr Greg Bellairs, CEO of the

WPBTS, encourages people to do-nate blood but says that it shouldbe done voluntarily.“We want people that are will-

ing to save lives and expect noth-ing from it,” says Bellairs.Anyone aged between 16 and 65

years can donate blood, as long asthey weighmore than 50kg, are ingood health and lead a sexuallysafe lifestyle.Irene van Schalkwyk, WPBTS

spokesperson, says the organisa-tion wants donors that are com-mitted to help.“We want people to be aware of

how important donating blood is.Winter is a difficult time becauseof winter illnesses but those thatcan donate must check out whereour bus will be and donate. Afterthatwewant tomake sure that ev-erybody becomes a regular do-nor,” she says.As part of celebrating Blood Do-

norDayTableMountainwill be litin red at night.

CITY BOWL

Heritage statusto protectNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As the Bo-Kaap inches closer to being de-clared an urban conservation area, City

Bowl ratepayers hope this will bring themcloser to protecting City Bowl heritagebuildings.

The area will join over 30 heritage protec-tion overlay (HPO) zones in the city. It isone of 40 areas currently under investiga-tion for urban conservation status, includ-ing the Atlantic Seaboard (“Protecting heri-tage”, People’s Post, 21 October 2014).

The City’s HPO zones protect propertiesand areas, by regulating building works.

Patrick Labrosse, spokesperson of theCity Bowl Ratepayers’ Association (CI-BRA), says the Bo-Kaap will be proclaimedshortly, he hopes.

This has delayed the application to haveVredehoek also named as a heritage protec-tion zone, as the area could not be surveyedat the same time as the Bo-Kaap due to stafflimitations. “Vredehoek is rich in proper-ties over 60 years old, which makes thewhole area a good candidate for conserva-tion measures. In particular, it has a lot ofhouses and blocks of flats in art deco or arts& craft style,” he says.

These styles are often overlooked by lo-cals but are regarded around the world asworth preserving, Labrosse says. “They arepart of our collective heritage. So much sothat a few years ago a major internationalconference on art deco properties was heldin Cape Town.”

An initial proposal for a heritage zone isbeing drafted and will be made available forpublic input, says Johan van der Merwe,

mayoral committee member for energy, en-vironmental and spatial planning.

The request to look at a possible heritagezone in Vredehoek came from HeritageWestern Cape, he says. “Vredehoek has anexcellent collection of art deco and 1920sbuildings which deserve recognition andconsideration for protection. They add tothe architectural richness and are an im-portant heritage resource in theCityBowl,”he says. The approval would mean thatdemolitions, alterations and additions toexisting properties in the area would haveto follow specific procedures applicable toa heritage zone, Labrosse says.

“CIBRA is fortunate to have a long-stand-ing panel of professionals who advise it onmatters of urban conservation. It has longbeen a major concern for CIBRA and thepanel’smembers that properties inBo-Kaapand Vredehoek were the victims of incom-petent, mindless or quick-buck renovationsor additions, with the corresponding loss ofbuilt heritage,” he says.

“Once gone, it cannot be replaced. Everygeneration has a responsibility towards fu-ture ones: Urban conservation is part ofthat responsibility towards the built envi-ronment people grow in.”

FOR SEA OUTFALLS AT HOUT BAY,CAMPS BAY AND GREEN POINT

Hospital can be nice for kidsTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Most children don’t like being hospital-ised.

This is because of the experience they gothrough at the hospital and the pain the mayhave while they are there.But oneorganisationhasbeenworking for

more than 38 years to make sure that chil-dren who are hospitalised at the Red CrossWar Memorial Children’s Hospital feel atease. The Friends of the Children’s HospitalAssociation in Rondebosch are doing allthey can to make sure that those who endup at the hospital have a pleasant stay. Theywork hard to make sure that the patients re-cover quickly with a positive belief that ahospital is not a place where people go to diebut to be nursed back to health.Working with volunteers they play with

children in the wards during their stay.The association organises various activi-

ties for the children. For example, they orga-nise that children and parents who havebeen at the hospital for long, go out for shop-ping or take a limousine ride to the Water-front once a month.Volunteers take toys, books and other

things to play with and read in the wards.One of the volunteers, Dejenea Shaw (21),

says she really loves working with the chil-dren. “I’m glad that I could give my time tothe kids that need me. Playing with them

and helping them recover gives me so muchjoy. The association is really doing a won-derful job to take care of the kids. Kids likeit whenwe play with toys and read for them.They really feel at ease,” says Shaw.David Stephens, director of the Friends of

the Children’s Hospital Association, saysit’s high time that people knowwhat they do.

“We help kids a lot. For years we have beenworkingundergroundbut I feel now it’s timeto give back to the people that support us andvolunteer their time to help us. This meansa lot to the children. It changes theirmindsetabout the hospital completely and it makesthem recover well,” says Stephens.Though its primary focus is on the chil-

dren the organisation also helps their par-ents. At times parents come without achange of clothes for them or their children,so the association helps them out.“We are functioning because of donations.

What we get, we give to those who are inneed at the hospital. We also help parents.It’s not easy to have a sick child so we tryto put their minds at ease by giving themfood and things that theymight need like toi-letries and clothes whilst their kids are inhospital,” says Stephens.One of the parents, Nadeema Basadien

(36), says the help that the parents get fromthe Friends is heart-warming.“They make you feel at home. When a

child is sick you can’t think straight and asparents we forget the things that they reallyneed and some of us don’t have them so theyhelp us.When I came here I had no toiletriesbecause I forgot. I wasn’t expecting to stayfor long and I found myself in need of toilet-ries so the association came to my rescue.Their work is really wonderful,” says Basa-dien.Though the organisation has been run-

ning for long it wishes to continue helpingpeople in need. The Association is pleadingfor donations of crayons and colouringbooks. They also wish to have a constantsupply of toiletries and clothes.V You can take your donations to the Friends of theChildren’s Hospital Association at the hospital or call021 658 5243.

Each year, seven days are dedicated to raising awarenessabout the rights and needs of children.

This week marks National Child Protection Week,which focuses on some of our most vulnerable citizens.

It’s a time for us to take a long hard look at the abuse,neglect and exploitation of our children.We are remindedof the need to protect them.

Violence against women and children often goes unno-ticed as it is hidden and rarely reported. Girls and boyscan be victims of violence in the home, at school, in thestreets, in the community or even in the custody of thosewho are meant to protect them.

Despite our sophisticated legal framework, South Afri-ca is still marked by high levels of violence against, andexploitation of, children, according to Save the ChildrenSouth Africa, a non-profit organisation promoting chil-dren’s rights.

The organisation estimates that between 2011 and 2012,during which research was carried out, over 50 000 chil-dren were victims of violent crime, over 12 500 of assaultand almost 26 000 of sexual offences.

In 2011, a study by the South African Human RightsCommission and Unicef found violence against childrenoccurs on a large scale and in any of the settings wherechildren spend their childhood – in homes and with fami-lies, in schools, care and justice systems, workplaces andcommunities. The report found that 1 in 3 parents use se-vere corporal punishment in the form of beatings. Almost30% of all sexual offences against children involve chil-dren under 10 years of age.

But with these shocking numbers, how can we settlewith only seven days of awareness?

It falls to each and every one of us to take responsibilityfor our children and to keep them safe.

Every day needs to be dedicated to protecting our chil-dren, not just one week.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Resorts show off Cape coastThe onset of the cooler weather usuallysends most people indoors, waiting forwarmer weather to return before venturingout for a well-deserved break.

But the municipal coastal resorts offer acosy getaway at affordable prices, whichmake them ideal for a mid-year winterbreak.

Saturday’s unique Carnival Race Day of-fers more quality variety than has everbeen seen at Killarney, so there has

been a build-up of expectation among petrolheads.The on-track action includes the Cape

round of the All-Africa 3-hour endurancerace series, that is due to finish in the dark,a leg of the South African Superkart Cham-pionship and round four of the Power Seriesfor cars andmotorcycles sponsoredbyWing-field Motors.A parade of VW Beetles in honour of its

80th anniversary (the prototype was un-veiled in Germany in 1935) will take placeduring the lunch break.The day will also feature an exotic and

sports car show that includes several histor-ic motorcycles under cover in the spaciousnewpit block. The popular EngenF1 simula-tors will be available to budding Lewis Ha-milton imitators in the same building.While entries for the 3-hour race include

six Porsches (all of them with two or eventhree drivers) the battle upfront ismore like-ly to be fought between a trio of Junos, aDodge Viper and possibly a Panoz Esperan-te.The formidable Juno attack is being led by

Western Cape champion Francis Carru-thers, with co-drivers Nick Adcock andDean McCarroll in an SS3 V6.They will have to face up to Craig Jarvis

and Marcel Angel in Jarvis’s recently ac-

quired V10, 8.4litre Dodge Viper and anAmerican V8 Panoz Esperante being sharedby Dave Alhadeff, Jonathan Bernstein andChris Carolin.Any gap upfront will allow the remaining

Juno SS3s (of Steve Humble/ Johan Engel-brecht andColinPlit/DawieJoubert) or per-haps even aNissan 370Z (in the hands of Jus-tin Mathie and Gary Sherrat) to take up thechase.Then there’s the potentially awesome

spectacle promised by the Superkart races.The driver’s backside is nomore than a cou-ple of centimetres off the ground in these ti-ny projectiles that have no suspension andwheels the size of doughnuts.However, they are powered by 250cc mo-

tors with six-speed sequential gearboxes.This allows them to attain speeds of morethan 200km/h on the back straight.The always hard-fought Bold Marine GTi

Challenge race is expected to be one of thehighlights of the Power Series section of theprogramme.YoungMarco Busi and Christopher Swart

swapped places at the head of the field lastmonth and they should be the ones to watchon Saturday. With the first race scheduledto start at 10:00, the African 3-hour is the fi-nal event on the programme and is due toget under way at 16:15. Admission is R60 foradults and R20 for children under 16. Thereis no charge for children under 12. Ticketsare also available from Computicket.
