    A

    new MyCiTi bus route will be intro-

    duced to service Bo-Kaap, District Six

    and University Estate.

    Specially commissionedMyCiTiminibus-

    es will be used on the route, which includes

    narrow roads and steep gradients.

    The route will begin in Wale Street, con-

    tinuing along Yusuf Drive, Voetboog Road

    and Upper Bloem Street before driving on

    Adderley, Strand, Darling and Keizergracht

    streets. Buses will then turn onto Chapel

    Street and travel on Hill and Cambridge

    streets, alongRhodesAvenue,LorraineAve-

    nue and ending in Ritchie Street.

    Mayoral Committee member for Trans-

    port Brett Herron says the route has been

    implemented after a special request was re-

    ceived to serve the Lower District Six area,

    north of Nelson Mandela Boulevard where

    there are significant numbers of potential

    users at the Boulevard Business Park and

    Clicks head office, he says.

    In addition, residents ofUpperWalmerEs-

    tate have complained about difficulties in

    accessing stops on the currentMyCiTi route

    that runs along Chester and Coronation

    roads because of the steep gradients, Herron

    says.

    Sections of the route were previously

    served by bus and minibus taxi routes, but

    it was not practical to use 9m MyCiTi buses

    because of narrow roads, steep gradients or

    limited demand, he says.

    The routewill be operatedusing 6mmini-

    buses. It is likely that it will conveniently

    serve those living or working within 500m

    from all stops. Stops on this route are not yet

    finalised but will be 400 to 500m apart, Her-

    ron says. Bo-Kaap Civic Association chair-

    person Osman Shaboodien says it is high

    time the service is implemented.

    We were starting to feel left out! The bus-

    es skirt around Bo-Kaap, which mean resi-

    dents have to walk into town to catch the

    bus. Other bus services and taxis have been

    taken off the routes, which is especially

    problematic for children who need to travel

    to school, he says.

    Walmer Estate Residents Community Fo-

    rum chairperson Moosa Sydow has wel-

    comed the additonal route.

    Were very excited. Its the perfect route

    because it ties inwithwhat residents initial-

    ly envisioned. Its now a Walmer Estate and

    University Estate route, not a Salt River

    route, he says.

    The route is a positive thing, but were go-

    the City until we see how this new route ties

    in with measures to allievate traffic conges-

    The new route still bypasses her home.

    She often works late shifts, and is forced

    bus or taxi, which dropped her only a short

    In an effort to combat the theft and resale of City-owned refuse bags, the Citys Solid Waste

    Management Department has printed the letters CCT SWM followed by a serial number

    in black text on all its blue bags from June 2013. This will ensure that all stolen bags can be

    recognised and their source traced. Despite these measures being put in place, the City

    continues to experience theft of its blue bags, which are then sold illegally on the street as well

    as in some shops. The City is appealing to residents once again not to purchase blue refuse

    bags at all as these bags are stolen property. The bags are usually packaged together with other

    bags and folded to hide the printing. It can be assumed that all blue bags are stolen bags.

    Blue bags are used solely for all the activities and programmes of the Solid Waste Management

    Departments Cleansing Branch.

    Report any individual or shop seen selling these bags by contacting the Citys SolidWaste

    Management branch for Loss Control on 021 900 1689 or e-mail [email protected].

    If any blue bags are placed out on the roadside by residents, it will be deemed illegal dumping

    and dealt with accordingly.

    Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is highly appreciated. This action is in line with

    maintaining a well-run city.

    S

    heltered from the wind on a hillside, as

    the traffic whizzes past on De Waal

    Drive, a dream has been growing.

    A small community garden has been start-

    ed by a resident to bring skills, food and a

    safe space to the community occupying so-

    cial housing in Zonnebloem.

    Allan de la Fortaine, who has a prosthetic

    leg and only one arm, spent hours clearing

    the empty plot of glass and refuse dumped

    there.

    His vision is to create an amphitheatre out

    of a natural hollow in the hillside and terrac-

    es, using tyres. This space would then be-

    come a social area for the community.

    If this area is a beautiful park, there will

    be no dumping or vagrancy, he says. I

    want to create an area for kids to play and

    get the families living here involved. By

    channelling rainwater into the gardens,

    each family can build a garden in a tyre or

    a milk crate, which will give food for the

    whole family, he says.

    De la Fortaine created the garden out of

    donated plants and the labour of a friend and

    youth living nearby.

    Iwanted to get the youth involved to keep

    them from drugs and get them outdoors.

    They can socialise in a healthy environ-

    ment. Its been a learning experience for all

    of us. I want to do it all myself but I cant.

    Ive had to learn to rely on other people, he

    says.

    One of those who De la Fortaine relied on

    is 16-year-old Amir El Sayed.

    I learnt I can make my home look beauti-

    ful with a little bit of effort, El Sayed says.

    If the area had trees and a park instead of

    standing open, we would have a place to so-

    cialise.

    Brandon Abrahams, a 20-year-old living

    near the garden, lent a hand on the project.

    This is the first garden Ive ever worked

    in. I learnt how to plant seeds and use plants

    and rocks from themountain to create a gar-

    den. Im going to carry on gardening and I

    think I can take it further and sell plants to

    make a living. I dont want to see my hard

    work go down the drain, he says.

    De la Fortainewanted to create something

    beautiful under the mural by graffiti artist

    Faith47.

    The garden is under an artwork thats

    about an urban warrior. This garden is a

    form of that concept of an urban warrior,

    he says.

    The garden was also created as a way to

    spend time with his mother, Angelique.

    I did it for my mom, to get her into the

    garden and keep her healthy, he says.

    He hopes to extend the area to include

    trees, a safe pathway and a water feature.

    ECOLOGY: CITY FARM CONSERVATION PLAN

    New life into

    heritage site

    NICOLE MCCAIN

    @nickymccain

    A

    plan to ensure the future of the Oran-

    jezicht City Farm and surrounding

    land is being drawn up.

    Council is currently calling for contribu-

    tions to a conservation management plan

    for the Oranjezicht Homestead Precint,

    which includes the farm, Homestead Park,

    the Stadsfontein Field of Springs site and

    Stepping Stones Pre-primary School site.

    A portion of the council-owned property

    has been declared a provincial heritage site

    and the erven fall within the Oranjezicht

    Heritage Protection Overlay Zone.

    The site comprises part of the original

    Oranjezicht farmstead, once the largest

    farm in the Upper Table Valley, owned by

    the Van Breda family.

    Although the original house was demol-

    ished in the 1950s and the site was convert-

    ed into a bowling green in 1955, the old

    Farm Barn, the Market Bell and remnants

    of the low werf walls are still in existence

    today and formpart of theHomestead Park,

    says Mayoral Committee member for Eco-

    nomic, Environmental and Spatial Plan-

    ning, Garreth Bloor.

    On the field of springs, the Stadsfontein

    Vault, also a provincial heritage site, is still

    in existence. The bowling green was un-

    used for decades and the Oranjezicht City

    Farm site comprises part of the original

    farm, Oranje Zigt, established in 1709.

    The Oranjezicht City Farm is one of the

    stakeholders contributing to the develop-

    ment of the management plan, says spokes-

    person Sheryl Ozinsky.

    The farm seeks to re-connect the neigh-

    bourhood and the rest of Cape Town to this

    neglected piece of heritage through design,

    education and vegetable gardening and to

    use it as a catalyst to build social cohesion,

    develop skills, and educate residents and

    their children about food and environmen-

    tal issues, she says.

    The conservation management plan

    would define the heritage significance of

    the site, Bloor says, and would describe the

    history of its development and provide a

    framework for its future management.

    The conservation management plan

    aims to provide guidelines for the appropri-

    ate use of the precinct to ensure that the ac-

    tivities permitted donot have a detrimental

    impact on the significance of the proper-

    ties. We are currently gathering informa-

    tion regarding the site, including its histo-

    ry, the current lease agreements and herit-

    age significance. The site has also been

    surveyed and its current patterns of use

    have been analysed, he says.

    A master plan is needed for the farm and

    the surrounding precinct that will guide fu-

    ture changes and growth in a sensible way,

    Ozinsky says.

    In caring for ormanaging change onhis-

    toric sites such as the Oranjezicht Home-

    stead Precinct, there are often many fea-

    tures, historic layers and diverse interests

    to consider as well as the economic viabili-

    ty of the site. The plan will serve as a tool

    to help pull together an understanding of

    whatmatters andwhy, andhow to conserve

    and manage it.

    I

    n an effort to create even more of a bus-

    tling tourist destination, a group of busi-

    ness owners is hoping to expand a WiFi

    service along Camps Bay beachfront.

    The Camps Bay Business Forum in-

    stalled the WiFi at the end of last year, just

    before season.

    And with over 200 people making use of

    the free service daily, the forum is looking

    at ways to roll out a wider service.

    Forum chairperson Simon Kneel says

    they have been evaluating the impact of the

    trial scheme, as well as considering an ex-

    pansion.

    We installed the WiFi just before season

    and had almost no marketing. We were

    pleasantly surprised at the interest it

    gained, with between 200 and 300 users dai-

    ly, he says.

    The WiFi is available on sections of the

    beach, as well as a number of beachfront

    restaurants. The WiFi might not benefit

    businesses directly, but has the benefit of

    making the area more attractive, says

    Kneel.

    Camps Bay is a leading destination and

    the WiFi is an added benefit for many visi-

    tors. Many tourist destinations around the

    world provideWiFi. This justmakesCamps

    Bay a more attractive destination.

    Local resident JonathanGolding believes

    the WiFi will keep restaurant patrons at

    their tables for longer.

    Its a great idea to get people to spend

    more time in restaurants. Ive also noticed

    a number of people bring their tablets to the

    beach and they are now able to take advan-

    tage of the WiFi, he says.

    Beach-goer Russel Chimutayi thinks the

    WiFi will bring more tourists to the area.

    Some visitors to the area have business

    they need to take care of, and the WiFi will

    allow them to do that even though they are

    on holiday. I think its good for local busi-

    nesses to draw that kind of customer. The

    network should be expanded along the

    whole beachfront, he says.

    Although not finalised, an expansion is

    on the cards, says Kneel.

    Weve received a lot of positive feedback

    and are looking to develop the system in the

    future. Were still considering what for the

    developments will take, he says.

    Saving grace for matriculants

    If you matriculated in 2013 and are still un-

    sure about your future, provincial govern-

    ment has an answer for you.

    Pupils struggling to get in to a tertiary in-

    stitution after Grade 12 can take advantage

    of aprovincial government initiative aimed

    at keeping the youth occupied.

    The provincial government will invest a

    further R27mmninwork experience intern-

    ships for matriculants, through the Pre-

    miers Advancement for Youth (Pay)

    Project.

    Provincial minister for Finance, Eco-

    nomic Development and Tourism Alan

    Winde officially welcomed the 2014 Pay

    Project interns at the Western Cape Sport

    School in Kuils River on Friday 4 April.

    The Pay Project was established by pre-

    mier Helen Zille in 2011 and is managed by

    the Department of the Premier.

    On Monday 7 April, the 776 interns start-

    ed their one-year internships at one of the

    provincial governments 13 departments.

    This is a great opportunity for ouryoung

    people to obtain the on-the-job experience

    they need to get their first foothold into the

    economy.

    Our goal is to ensure that all youth have

    access to learning and employment oppor-

    tunities so that they canmake ameaningful

    contribution to the economy and ensure

    that they live better lives, says Winde.

    Terry Johnston matriculated at Mondale

    High School and works at the Strategic and

    OperationalManagement Support Services

    in the Treasury Department.

    Due to financial restraints, I decided to

    take a gap year fromstudying, but im excit-

    ed to beworkingwith the Pay project, says

    Johnston.

    As part of their work readiness training,

    they receive an induction intohownational

    and regional governments work.

    During their internship they complete

    several skills development courses, these

    include financialmanagement, IT training,

    CV writing and interview skills.

    Alandre Cupido, who matriculated from

    The Settlers High School, has started work-

    ing in the human resources section of the

    treasury department.

    I am very happy Im not just sitting at

    home, now I have a job and I will gain a lot

    of experience, says Cupido.

    I hope the young people participating in

    theproject take full advantage of this oppor-

    tunity. They will receive valuable experi-

    ence and an excellent foundation for their

    future careers.

    This is an opportunity that will change

    their life course forever if they choose to

    seize it, says Winde.

    @LiamCPT

    T

    heWestern Cape TouchRugbyAssocia-

    tion has claimed its secondNational In-

    ter-provincial Tournament (IPT) title

    in just six months.

    Islanders took the overall title at the South

    African Touch Association junior IPT in

    September and added the senior overall title

    to their collection in Durban last month.

    Team manager Nadeema Levy says the ti-

    tles are a result of hard work in the face of

    adversity.

    Its just hard work that makes us win;

    there is no magic formula, she says.

    We trained on Sundays, because its the

    only days players can attend practise. Our

    players dont have transport, so we had to

    arrange lifts and collect people. We dont

    have our own field, sowehave tomove train-

    ing around to various places. We made sure

    our sessions are effective and worked hard

    in the short time we had (to practise).

    Islanders dominated the junior IPT, win-

    ning the boys under-19, under-17, under-15

    and girls under-19 divisions.

    They also claimed silver in the girls un-

    der-15 and bronze in the boys under-21 divi-

    sions.

    Western Cape claimed four medals at the

    senior event,winning themens openand in-

    vitational division, and claiming bronze in

    thewomens open andmixed open divisions.

    Levy says the impressive showing at the

    senior IPT left the team jubilant, adding

    the performance of the womens teams was

    the biggest achievement.

    At the four previous tournaments, the

    womens teams didnt perform but we have

    really worked hard to develop and promote

    the womens game, she says.

    Wewent from last at the previous tourna-

    ment to third, building a team from scratch.

    This was our biggest achievement and the

    future looks brighter for us going forward.

    Western Cape Islanders currently runs

    touch rugby leagues for around 50 schools

    in across the Cape Peninsula.

    assisting or sponsoring can phone Levy on

    CHECKERED FLAG: The Cape Town leg of the Spar Grand Prix Series took place in Green

    Point and surrounds on Saturday. Nolene Conrad (left) took third, Diana Lebo Phalula

    Milano still in the running

    M

    ilano United are set to enter the

    most crucial period of their Na-

    tional First Division campaign.

    The Grassy Park side are clinging to

    third place on the table and the Absa Pre-

    miership promotion-relegation play-off

    spot that comes with it.

    However,with fourth-placed JomoCos-

    mos and fifth-placed Baroka FC level on

    points and trailing only by goal differ-

    ence, any slip-ups in the final four games

    could see Milano out of the running.

    But coach Theo Hempe believes his

    players will not fold under the pressure.

    The most important thing is that (our

    fate) is in our own hands, he says.

    Weare currently in the secondplay-off

    spot but we believe we are better that.We

    will definitely make it to the play-offs.

    Hempe may be certain of sealing third

    place, but the position is far from sewn

    up.

    Cosmos trail by just three goals, while

    Baroka are four away a gap that could

    easily be closed in the remaining fix-

    tures.

    Meanwhile, Milanos own form has

    been far from sparkling.

    The Black and Yellow looked like seri-

    ous title contenders not too long ago,with

    a healthy lead at the top of the table, but

    a dip in form has seen them tumble down

    the standings.

    Last month was a particularly dark pe-

    riod forHempes charges, with only three

    points taken from a potential 15.

    Milano kicked off the month with a 1-0

    loss to Santos at home, drew 2-2 away to

    bottom side Blackburn Rovers, lost 1-0 at

    home to Vasco da Gama, drew 2-2 away

    to Witbank Spurs and repeated that

    score-line against Thanda Royal Zulu.

    They finally arrested the slide on Sun-

    day, winning 1-0 against Sivutsa Stars at

    home. The victory aside, Hempe believes

    his team performed better in their three

    away draws.

    Although the performances werent

    good, the players grinded it out and got

    the three points, he says. That will help

    us get to the play-offs and could help us

    turn the corner completely.

    He adds his players must replicate the

    away form and home-field grit in all four

    remaining clashes.

    When you score two goals away from

    home you are definitely doing something

    right, Hempe says.

    We have been playingwell, its just we

    have to play with that same freedom at

    home again. Imhappywith how the guys

    are responding.

    Milano will face Maluti FET College in

    Free State on Saturday, before hosting

    Black Leopards on Sunday 27 April, trav-

    elling to United FC on Sunday 4 May and

    hosting league leaders Chippa United on

    Sunday 11 May.

    No rest for victorious Ikeys

    U

    CT will launch straight into Western

    Province club rugby competition less

    than a week after winning their sec-

    ond FNB Varsity Cup title.

    The Ikey Tigers beat NWU Pukke in the

    final in Potchefstroom on Monday night,

    but will have to keep the celebrations brief

    ahead of their first Super League A fixture

    against Tygerberg on Saturday.

    Theymaynot havemuch time to saviour

    the victory, but Ikeys will certainly be

    boosted by the manner of their win.

    UCT got off to a flying start as a flowing

    backline move saw outside-centre Huw

    Jones hit a gap and surge over for the open-

    ing try.

    Dean Grants conversion attempt hit the

    upright to start what would be an incon-

    sistent night with the boot.

    Pukke responded by forcing UCT back-

    wards and a period of sustained pressure

    saw the hosts take the lead when flank

    Rhyk Welgemoed burst through a gap and

    scrumhalf Tiaan Dorfling converted the

    try.

    They took advantage of theirmomentum

    and increased the lead as good hands down

    thebackline saw leftwingLutherObi score

    in the corner.

    UCT were first to score when the sides

    returned from the strategy break, with

    wing Richard Stewart finishing off a coun-

    ter-attack after flank Jason Klaasen won a

    turnover in his 22. Grant was again off tar-

    get from the kicking tee.

    UCT received a massive boost when op-

    position centre Johan Deysel was yellow-

    carded for a perceived reckless tackle, but

    they could not capitalise before the half-

    time whistle sounded.

    Pukke were the next to score, with hook-

    er Armand van der Merwe powering his

    way over from close range after a series of

    strong drives by the hosts.

    The try went unconverted and theywere

    again reduced to 14 men soon afterwards,

    when tighthead prop Nhlanhla Ngcamu

    saw yellow for a high tackle.

    But Pukke continued scoring despite the

    numerical disadvantage, with Dillon Smit

    scoring a penalty to take the score to 20-10.

    UCT needed a response to get back into

    the game, and got it from a driving maul

    with the hard-working Klaasen crashing

    over to cut the deficit to 20-15.

    UCTwere cut down to 14men after a cyn-

    ical infringement fromwingLihleliXoli on

    their try-line andPukke capitalised almost

    immediately, with Smit forcing his way

    over to extend the lead again.

    Lock Francois Robbertse seemingly put

    the result beyond doubt when he added an-

    other try soon after, but UCT refused to ac-

    cept their fate.

    Michael Botha and Grant hit back with

    two quick-fire tries, both of which were

    converted by Grant, before Nathan Nel

    struck in extra time to hand the Ikeys the

    victory.Grant added the extras to giveUCT

    to take the final score to 39-33.

    The fixture against Tygerberg will take

    place at Florida Park at 16:00.

    The other Super League A fixtures will

    see Primrose travel to Helderberg, False

    Bay visit Victorians and SK Walmers face

    UWC in Bellville.

    Slave Route Challenge entries open

    LIAM MOSES

    LiamCPT

    Runners and walkers of all ages and experi-

    ence levels are advised to complete their en-

    tries for the fourth annual Jive Slave Route

    Challenge.

    Online entries for the popular race, of

    which Peoples Post is the print media spon-

    sor, opened yesterday (Wednesday) and are

    expected to fill up quickly.

    The race first took place in 2011 and the

    challenge has since become a highlight on

    the Cape Town sporting calendar. Last year

    over 5000 people participated.

    As usual, the route will take participants

    past some of Cape Towns most important

    historical sights.

    Race founder and director Farouk Meyer

    says the event is as much about education

    as exercise.

    The idea was to highlight the slave herit-

    age sights because a lot of people dont know

    about it, he says.

    We have a lot of visitors from up-country

    and many international entrants who will

    be educated on the slave heritage and cul-

    ture of Cape Town.

    The route will take runners and walkers

    pass the Grand Parade, the Whipping Post,

    the Old Slave Church, the Slave Lodge and

    the Slave Tree Plaque.

    Racers will also pass several other impor-

    tant monuments, run through the Castle of

    Good Hope and be able to take in excellent

    views of the city from some of its best van-

    tage points.

    Participants can enter for one of four dif-

    ferent races at event ahalf-marathon, 10km

    run, 10km walk and 5km run.

    Meyer says they aim to cater for the entire

    family and all ability levels.

    Last year racers passed through theCastle

    soon after starting the race in Darling Street

    between the Grand Parade and City Hall.

    The only change to the route will see run-

    ners travel throughDistrict Six before head-

    ing through the fort, to alleviate congestion

    and allow participants more time for sight-

    seeing.

    The section of the race through Pentz

    Street, Bo-Kaap has become a fan favourite,

    Meyer says.

    The hills in the race have been the talk-

    ing point, with one hill has even been nick-

    named Koesister Hill, he says.

    Whenpeople get to the top of Pentz Street,

    they have a 360 view of the city and they

    can enjoy a free koesister courtesy of the Bo-

    Kaap community.

    The racewill take place onSunday 11May.

    Online entries can be completed

    at www.jive.topevents.co.za.

    Manual entries open on Monday 14 April

    and can be completed at any Sportsmans

    Warehouse store in the province.
