Waste picking ‘a way to survive’NICOLE MCCAIN

Despite their “work” being illegal, wastepickers are said to contribute significantlyto local recycling and job creation efforts,and theCity of CapeTown is “doing all thatit can to address this complicated issue”.

From as early as 06:00 most weekday mor-nings, Helderberg resi-dents will see wastepickerscollectingrecy-clable materials fromdustbins put out forcollection.For many of them,

the few rands theymake from a day of col-lecting pay for theirfood, says ReaganFortuin, awaste picker him-self. Some even live off the scraps of useablefood they find.According to Fortuin, it is a job that gives

very little return. Most waste pickers collectglass, fromwhich they can earn as little as 40cper kilogramme. A trolley overflowing withbottles will often fetch the waste picker onlyR30 for a day’s hard work. Fortuin says oftenpeople throw out expensive items such as cell-phones, which only need small repairs. Theseitems are a gold mine for waste pickers.But themost valuablematerial ismetal. The

cost will vary depending on the type of metal,but a black bag ofmetal tinswill fetch asmuchas an entire trolley, says waste picker LesleyElrink. He doesn’t have a trolley, and carriesthe material he collects in a refuse bag.According toNompumelelo Njana of Siyaco-

caWaste Pickers and Recycle, an organisationthat mobilises and organises waste pickers inKhayelitsha and the Cape Flats, collecting re-cyclables leads to job creation.However, Njana says there is a health con-

cern. “We try to educate waste pickers to weargloves and masks, but many do not have any.We also find thatmanywaste pickers store therefuse at their home for a day or two.”Added to this is the reaction of the owners

of the dustbins. “Some people chase you away.People shout at you; their dogs bark at you,”says Fortuin.

Helderberg Crime Watch’s Samantha Parissays, “While not all bin scratchers are crimi-nals, criminals do pose as bin scratchers andactioncanonlybe taken if there is a crimecom-mitted.”Njana says it is difficult to establish the

number of waste pickers in an area, but For-tuin says theHelderberghasmanymorewastepickers than the Cape Flats, in his experience.

Councillor ErnestSonnenberg, MayoralCommittee Memberfor Utility Services atthe City of Cape Town,says theCity is lookingfor a sustainable solu-tion to working withwaste pickers.Sonnenberg says

waste pickers who litter around bins can beheld liable to a penalty.In addition, once a dustbin is placed on the

sidewalk, it becomes City property according

to theCity’s IntegratedWasteManagement by-law.“Removing the contents of the bin, at thatpoint, therefore becomes illegal. A specialisedunitwithintheCity’sSolidWasteManagementDepartment is responsible for enforcement ofthis bylaw. However, because the departmentis under-resourced in terms of matching thescale of the problem, the law is not enforceableon a regular, city-wide basis. In addition, theCity’s Displaced Peoples Unit also providessupport with regard to street people.“The City is doing all that it can to address

this complicated issue, taking into account arange of complex factors,” adds Sonnenberg.“This is not a clear-cut issue: in some areas‘wastepickers’areseenasplayinganimportant role in the greater effortstowards recycling and waste mini-misation, while in other areas theirpresence has led to challenges.”Njana says that in addition to job

creation, waste pickers provide aninvaluable service by recycling.

“I have no work. This is the only way I canbuy myself food,” says King Shawani, wholives on the street. Enoch Basson, anotherstreet person, says he chooses to be a wastepicker instead of turning to crime. “I’d ratherdo this than steal or beg.”But for many waste pickers, it is not what

theywould consider a pleasant job. “It doesn’tfeel nice to go through people’s refuse, but youhave no other choice. You have to do it to sur-vive,” says Basson.Fortuin agrees. “It doesn’t feel nice. I don’t

like what I’m doing and I always hope I willfind another job. But it’s better than commit-ting crime.”

Lesley Elrink looks for metal tins, which pay for his food.King Shawani will most likely make only R30 from his heavily loaded trolley of bottles.

Helderberg-inwoners salnoudiege-leentheid hê om Proudly MacassarPotteryse instrumente inaksie te sientydens ’n musiekaanbieding getiteldThe sound of the ground. Die geleent-heid vind plaas by die Bo-Kaap Muse-um in Kaapstad op 28 April.Met die aanvang van die projek het

die fasiliteerder en etniese musiko-loog, Trevor Sampson, gespesifiseerdat die organisasie ’n musikale kom-ponent moet behou.Dit is waarom die fokus bly op die

produksie van fluite gebaseer op tra-disionele Afrika okarina-fluite, endrommewatgeskoei is opdie tradisio-nele Udu-dromme.“Die idee is nie om ’n tradisionele

instrument te herskep nie, maar omietsmodern toe te voeg,” sê Johan.Ditwordgedoendeureerder eengroot gatin plaas van ’n paar vingergaatjies temaak, wat tradisioneel op ’n okarina-fluit gevind sou word.

Easter roaddeaths downby 30%Easterweekendroaddeaths in theWesternCape have decreased by 30% compared tolast year, according to the Department ofTransport and Public Works.Fourteen people were killed in the prov-

ince thisyear, incomparisonto20 lastyear.MEC for Transport and Public Works,

RobinCarlise, says this Easterwas charac-terised by wet conditions and high trafficvolumes, with over 2 400 vehicles travel-ling on the N2.“Asweawait figures for theentiremonth

ofMarch 2013, whichwas not a goodmonthon our roads, the Easter period has shownthat buckling-up and pedestrian safety re-main a serious concern.“As we continue to see motorist behav-

iourchange,sotoomustpassengers,partic-ularly back-seat passengers and pedestri-ans. These classes of fatalitiesmust realisehow vulnerable they are and the dangersthat they often place themselves in by notcomplying with road rules,” says Carlisle.Enforcement statistics reveal that 22 411

vehicles were stopped and checked, and atotal of 3 370 people were screened for alco-hol.There were 56 arrests made for driving

under the influence of alcohol.

City will oppose N1/N2 toll roads in courtFollowing the ongoing dispute regarding theSouth African Roads Agency Limited’s (San-ral) proposedN1/N2Winelands Toll Highwayproject, the City of Cape Town has now filedan urgent application for an interdict.Sanral in recent years proposed the con-

struction of six toll plazas on two of the City’smain highways, the N1 and N2, saying an ur-gent upgrade was needed to maintain theroads and address safety concerns. Theproject will include two toll plazas on the N2positioned just after the R300 (Bellville) turn-off and Sir Lowry’s Pass, and a third at BotRiver.According to the City’sMayoral Committee

Member for Transport, Roads and Stormwa-ter, Brett Herron, the interdict application

will be heard in theWestern Cape High Courton 16 May, when the City will seek an orderto prohibit Sanral from takingany steps to im-plement their proposed toll-road project. Thiscomes after Sanral informed the City lastmonth that they intend proceeding with thetoll project.Sanral’s general manager of communica-

tions,VusiMona, saidrecently that ithadheldabout 96 meetings with both the City and theprovincial government on this project. “Wehave also done extensive consultations withfarmers and the communities that will be af-fected. The project can only proceed once aconcessionaire has been appointed and a con-tract finalised. Until then, it is misleading tosay that ‘work will go ahead’.”

Mona said the major advantages of the N1–N2 toll highway improvements are road im-provements which will entail the construc-tion of 13 km of a new N2 in Somerset West/Strand, the provision of additional trafficlanes between Durban Road and the Koelen-hof interchange; and between BorchardsQuarry Road and De Beers Avenue in Somer-set West, Sir Lowry’s Pass to Houwhoek andFlorence and Worcester.Theproposedupgrade to thehighway,along

the N2 or Trunk Road 2 (T2), will cut throughresidential areas in Somerset West, and is be-ing challenged in the High Court by the localN2–T2 committee. Hennie Patience, chairper-son of the committee, says the committee isfully behind the City’s decision.

Seen here is one of thelocations on the N2 high-way near Sir Lowry’s Passwhere one of the toll pla-zas may be constructed.

Tokoloshe repellent worth its salt?Those with a fear ofthe tokoloshe mayhave a new weaponat hand – if toko-loshe salt reallyworks, that is.Tokoloshe salt has

made its comebackfrom the 1950s, ac-cording to a recentnews story, havingre-emerged in Mpu-malanga.The salt, available

in various colours,is believed to keepthe tokoloshe away.Due to firm tradi-tional beliefs, thereis a high demand forthe product in cer-tain areas, whichhas resulted in theproduct being soldin some supermar-kets in the province.The Gazette asked

readers what theythink of tokoloshesalt and its possiblepowers.

Bodelo Ilunga says hedoesn’t believe there’ssalt that works to keepthe tokoloshe away. “I’venever experienced toko-loshe.”

Gamza Armien glo daar’s’n soort growwe sout watjy voor jou deur sit. “Diegrowwe sout hou die tok-kelos weg.”

Alicia Petinger sê sy glonie in die tokkelos nie,so sy dink die sout is netdaar om geld te maak.

Christopher Cassiemsays that it’s a money-making scheme. “Neverseen or experiencedtokoloshe. Only ever hearabout it, so I don’t believethere’s salt to keep itaway.”

Sasa Fini says that shehas never seen or heardof anyone using the toko-loshe salt. “First time Ihear about it.”

Eric Mhlonyani says thathe doesn’t believe thetokoloshe salt works.“I’ve heard about it butnever came across it.”

As ’n Christenvrou voelNorma Barry dat dit oorgeldmaak gaan. “Almalprobeer bykom en doenverskillende dinge omek-stra geld te verdien. DieTokkelos-sout is net ’nander manier daarvan.”

New deal for drunk driversNICOLE MCCAIN

The National Institute for CrimePrevention and the Reintegra-tion of Offenders (Nicro) hasplans toexpand its road-offenderpilot project after receivingsponsorship from South AfricanBreweries (SAB).

This could see drivers across theprovince, convicted of driving un-der the influence (DUI), able to docommunity service instead of jailtime. Jacques Sibomana, spokes-person for Nicro, says the projectstarted in Cape Town in 2010 with-out funding, out of a need to assistthe high referrals of DUI cases andthe need to educate drivers arounddriving under the influence.“SAB is the first corporate to

come on-board to support this initi-ative in late 2012. We hope that thecurrent pilot programme will giveus guidelines to roll it out into othercitiesandprovinces.Weare lookingfor funding tobeable to increase thecapacityof theprogrammetocourtsaround the province and also hope-fully national.”Sibomana says the project cur-

rently runs in Cape Town, Athlone,Wynberg and Bellville courts, aswell asSimon’ sTownandSomersetWest on occasion.According to Heathcliff Thomas,

acting executive director for Safetyand Security at City of Cape Town,the City’s Traffic Services arrested2 912motorists for DUI from 1April2012 to 28 February 2013. In addi-tion, theCity’sMetroPoliceofficers

arrested 2 424 motorists for DUIfrom 1 March 2012 to 1 March 2013.In the Helderberg, between April

2011 and March 2012, almost 950 ar-rests were made by the police fordriving under the influence. Pro-vincially, over 17 500 arrests weremade for the same time period. TheGazettewasunable to establishhowmany cases of driving under the in-fluence received court convictions.According to Sibomana, the

projectalsocoverselementsof reck-less and negligent driving and cul-pable homicide, and all candidatesare assessed before their enrolmentinto the project to determine therisk and need.“The project aims to educate, em-

power and increase awareness ofdrivers as to the effects of irrespon-sibledrivingandinthiscreatemoreresponsible drivers on our roads. Afinealoneisineffectiveasitdoesnotaddress the root of the problem ofirresponsible behaviour on theroads.”However, doubts remain about

the project’s effectiveness.Siphesihle Dube, spokesperson

for theWesternCapeDepartmentofTransport and Public Works, says,“We support initiatives from theprivate sector that aim at tacklingserious issues such as drunk driv-ing as part of road safety. We willbe monitoring the project and see

where lessons may influence poli-cy. We support initiatives that aimat targeting the very serious prob-lem of drunk driving and are surethatthisinitiativewillgoalongwayin tackling the problem. Only timewill tell as to its effectiveness andpossible expansion.”Thomas says, “There will still be

a monetary fine in addition to thecommunity service. Depending up-on the amount of the fine and thetype of community service to bedone, it will need to be ascertainedwhether this would act as a suffi-cient deterrent to ensure themotor-ist does not commit the same of-fence again.”Charlotte Sullivan, director of

SouthAfricansagainstDrunkDriv-ing (SADD), says, “Itmaywell detersome people but ultimately we re-main concerned about the largenumber of people who are alcohol-ics or who have an addiction prob-lem and they will not be deterred.”Sullivan says ideally the project

should stipulate that if you drink,drive and then kill then you mustreceive a jail sentence and the com-munity service would not be an op-tion. “We have numerous casespending at the moment wheredrunk drivers have killed peopleand they are trying to get communi-ty service instead of going to jail –this is unacceptable.“Wewouldalso like tosee it incor-

porated with periodic imprison-ment– inotherwordstheycanworkduring the week (and support theirfamily) and go to jail over theweek-end.”

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH FOR BROADLANDS VILLAGE: Broadlands Village Commu-nity Watch was launched and recently trained by Charl Viljoen of the City of CapeTown. The initiative was started in reaction to numerous complaints of drug houses,housebreakings, stabbings and reports of a high crime rate in the community.

Pick says they aim not only to make the areasafer and friendlier, but also to improve the wellbeing of the entire community.For more information, contact Johan Pick on 084 582 7763.

Lewensredders vanMacassar wys hul staalNICOLE MCCAIN

Die Macassar-lewensredder-klublede hetas die algehele wenners van dieWestelikeProvinsie Lewensredders-raakrugby-toernooi in Vishoek bewys hulle is nie netuitstaande swemmers en lewensreddersnie, maar ook veelsydige sportmanne.

Die klub het 30 jaar gelede ontstaan, maarhet in die laaste paar jaar gebuk gegaan onderkwynende belangstelling.

Twee jaar gelede het die klub egter weer ’nopbloei beleef en het geleidelik weer gegroeisodat hulle nou weer drie gekwalifiseerde le-wensredders en nog twee aspirant lewensred-ders het. Daar is ook ’n hele aantal ouers enagt jong leerling-redders wat geaffilieer is.

Die klub se hooffokus is op die gemeenskapten spyte daarvan dat hul getalle maar minis. Die spanleier, 21-jarige LesleyKuys, sê hul-le patrolleer die strand om swemmers se vei-ligheid te verseker. “Ons het hierdie jaar sover agt swemmers gered, maar die idee is omte verhoed dat swemmers in die moeilikheidraak.”

Lesley sê dié strand het ’n sterk lewensred-dingspan nodig omdat tot soveel as 300 swem-mers tydensdiehoogseisoenopdie strandkanwees. Daarby is die toestande by dié strandbaie rof en gevaarlik. Die klub hoop om nuwe

lede te werf om hul taak te vergemaklik.Die onder-spanleier, 17-jarige Robin Kuys,

sê die klub is ’n uitstekende manier om jong-mense van die straat te hou en terselfdertydhul vaardighede te ontwikkel. “Dit is pret om’n lewensredder te wees Dit hou jou besig enproduktief. Ek hou van swem, maar ek houook daarvan om die gemeenskap te help.”Om die tekort aan lede aan te vul, het die

klub egter ook die gemeenskap se hulp nodig,sê klub-koördineerder Peter Kuys. Hul klub-huis is vervalle en die klub beplan om die dakte vervang en die binnekant op te knap. ’n Te-kort aan geld is egter ’n probleem.Vir ’n klub om formeel deur Westelike Pro-

vinsie Lewensredding erken teword,moet ditvier gekwalifiseerde lewensredders hê. DieMacassar-klub het net drie en kan daaromniefinansiering van die provinsiale liggaam krynie. Die klub het ook toerusting soos kniebor-de, torpedo-boeie en trauma-borde nodig.Vir meer inligting, bel Peter Kuys by

084 313 7349.

Aan diens is (van links) onder-spanleier Robin Kuys, spanleier Lesley Kuys, aspirant lewensredder RyanDaries en Ryan Solomons, afrigter van die jong knapies.

Macassar youth will now have the chance to develop their cycling skills through Unathi Communityand Youth Development. The non-profit organisation focuses on involving disadvantaged youth in sportto keep them occupied and away from negative influences, says founder Russel Williams. Pictured fromleft are coordinator Brain Visser, William Keith from William’s Bike Shop’s, Firgrove Primary’s LwellynDe Wee, Williams, Lt Col Errol Merkeur (Macassar police station commander), Anita Jooste and AvronPhillander from Girls and Boys town with the young cyclists.
