Women in theFarSouthhaveraised the alarm about aman allegedly harassing

them at a Sun Valley traffic inter-section.The man, known only as

“Shane”, reportedly bangs on thevehicle bonnets, leans on cars andintimidates motorists at the inter-section of OuKaapseWeg andBull-er Louw Drive.They claim he targets women

driving alone or with their chil-dren.Resident Monique Sham says

she has seen theman on numerousoccasions at this intersection.Last week, she shared her expe-

riencewith other residents in a Fa-cebook group and was shocked bythe responses.

Sham explains she witnessedhim harassing a woman who con-tinually drove forwards and re-versed to get him to stop leaning onher car.She says when she stopped at the

intersection he came over to herand leaned on her car window.Scared, she jumped the traffic

light to get away from him.“But when I drove past the inter-

section 45 minutes later he washarassing another [woman whowas alone in her car],” she wrote.Her post receivedmany respons-

es from women in the Far Southsharing similar experiences.Many claim to be scared of him

following incidents where he hasput his hands inside their vehicles.One woman claims he woke her

daughter who was sleeping in hervehicle by banging on her win-dows.

Sham says she is puzzled by hisbehaviour as he doesn’t ask formoney. Instead, she says, he intim-idated her.“It is a very upsetting experience

and can be a safety risk if morewomen decide to jump the trafficlight because they are scared,” shesays.Sham reported the incident to

Fish Hoek police and was shockedwhen the officer gaveher adescrip-tion.“They knew exactly who he was

and said they would send a van. Iwould like to know what could bedone or if he has a mental prob-lem,” she says.During a visit to the intersection

on Thursday 3 July the man couldnot be seen. The People’s Post ques-tioned a vendorwho said he didnotknow the man.South Peninsula Subcouncil

chairperson Felicity Purchasesays the man has been a problemfor years.“We have received many com-

plaints about his behaviour andthese have been forwarded to LawEnforcement,” she says.Purchase explains theman is not

homeless and reportedly lives inOcean View. She says he has been“causing trouble for years”.“He grew up on the streets along

with his brother but now they havea home,” she adds.Fish Hoek police spokesperson

Warrant Officer Peter Middletonsays people begging at the robotshas become a problem.“The solution has been to re-

move the persons from such areasby applying traffic offence lawsand issuing of fines,” he explains.Middleton says the man, along

with others, have been fined under

the National Road Traffic Act“This constitutes not just on in-

dividuals but any personwho findsthemselves in the vicinity. Severaloperations were conducted to ad-dress these persons with up to 20to 30 fines written at one time,” hesays.Middleton says should the man

hit or kick vehicles, motoristscould lay charges of maliciousdamage to property or even intimi-dation.“These cases should be reported

to the police and a sworn statementis required. This man has alreadybeenarrested four times for intimi-dation and placed at PollsmoorPrison and sent toValkenbergHos-pital for observation,” he adds.V Have you been harassed or intimidatedby this man?

RED HILL: LITTLE ONES THRIVE UNDER LITERACY PROJECT

Bold and new chapter beginsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The air is cold and the ground is wetbut children in Red Hill warm thehearts of visitors.

Finding shelter against the elements inthe home of Buyiswa Ponti in Section C ofthemountainside settlement, the childrenlaugh and play as they get ready for lunchtime.

They are attending a reading club runby Ponti and Nombuyiselo Dyalivane, for-merly known as the Red Hill ReadingClub.

The reading club, which was started byPonti in 2009, has mushroomed and afterregistering as a non-profit organisation,thenamehas changed to theRedHill Liter-acy Project.

The change of name is accompanied bybig plans to improve the organisation.

This includes creating a separate spacewhere children can visit after school, havea meal and do research, homework or en-joy a good book.

“Right nowbecause there is no space thereading club is in my house. We havemany challenges but we plan to tacklethem one by one,” she says.

Their biggest problem is the distancefrom facilities. The children do not haveaccess to the internet so often rely onPontito assist them using her cellphone.

“But we can only help them one at atime. I often don’t get to assist all of themand the cellphone reception is not good sowe wait long for pages to load,” she says.

The women explain as the communitywaits anxiously for the Dido Valley Hous-ing Project to get underway, they hope tohave a community space for the organisa-

tion.Ponti says the biggest challenge faced by

Red Hill children is the distance to andfrom school.

“Everymorning theywake up early andtake the long walk down the mountain.Once they reachSimon’sTown, theyboardbuses to schools in Masiphumelele andOcean View,” she says.

The women explain while they wait forthehousingproject to be completedandac-cess issues to be resolved, they needed totackle literacy issues.

“When we move, it will be better. Butthat won’t happen tomorrow so we needto have a plan for now,” Ponti adds.V If you would like to assist contact Ponti on079 900 9098.

MUIZENBERG: BOYES DRIVE PEGGED AS ALTERNATE ROUTE TO MAIN ROAD

Complete road closure loomsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A complete roadclosure forMainRoad inMuizen-

berg is on the cards.This was revealed

by Andrew Rush ofKayad Knight PiesoldConsulting, the engi-neer and project man-agement team for thethird phase of theMainRoad rehabilita-tion programme.The aim of the

project is to replacethe 500mm diameterwater main, current-ly the only source ofwater to the FarSouth, with a 700mmductile iron pipe.Speaking at the sec-

ond community liai-sonmeeting for Phase3, Rush said the closure will take place justafter the School Road intersection on MainRoad.He explained due to the location of the col-

umns of buildings on either side of the roadthere was insufficient space for the equip-ment.He sayswith the close proximity to sewer-

agepipes, stormwaterdrains andcables, en-gineers had very little space to insert thenew 700mm water main.“In addition, we cannot remove the old

500mmwater main without having the newone in place,” he says.Workers will be digging a two-metre deep

trench to install the new services and this,Rush says, will make the road unstable.He said it is too dangerous to have the

road open to one-way traffic and there is noother solution but to close the road.The roadwill need to be closed for 10 days

and this is expected to take place in the next30 days.Tony Trimmel, chairperson of the Kalk

Bay/St James Residents’ and Ratepayers’Association (KBSJRRA), said the closurewill have a “big impact” on the Far Southand residents in Fish Hoek, Simon’s Townand Glencairn needed to be aware.“This is why there should be representa-

tives from all communities at this meeting.This road closure will have a big impact,”he said.During this time, Boyes Drive will be the

alternate route.South Peninsula Subcouncil chairperson

Felicity Purchase said if it was the only so-lution, the road should be closed but pedes-trian access should not be restricted.Phase 3 has also seen the upgrading of

pedestrian infrastructure along AtlanticRoad. A temporary stop-go is in place.V Share your thoughts on a complete closure of MainRoad. Starting with the word “Post”, SMS yourthoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

MUIZENBERG: FRIENDS TO STEP IN

Progress withpark planMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Plans to take back Muizenberg Park areon track.

This follows the election of a com-mittee for the Friends of Muizenberg Parkand the adoption of a constitution at theirfirst meeting last week.

Modelled on the constitution of theFriends of De Waal Park, the document out-lines the roles, legal status and objectivesof the group.

Speaking during the meeting ElizabethMilne, environmental director of the Mui-zenberg Improvement District (MID), saidthe document had been showed to a legalprofessional who agreed the document pro-vided the support needed to improve theuse of the park.

She explained due to the boundaries ofthe Special Ratings Area, the park was notunder the management of the MID.

Milne said the City of Cape Town wasnow considering an application to have itincluded in the SRA.

“This means the MID’s security officerswill now be able to patrol and provide as-sistance in the park,” she explained.

The MID is waiting for a final decisionfrom the City.

A resident encouraged those present totake back the park by using it more fre-quently. He said while working in the parkhe noticed a children’s birthday party un-derway. “They were running around and

having so much fun.”The next day I noticed prison gang signs

drawn on rocks near where I worked theprevious day,” he said.

In that same week he saw four men sit-ting in the park and later found a lighter,bottle neck and empty bags.

“The best way to keep undesirable [ele-ments] out of the park is to use it as fre-quently as possible. Let’s invite families touse the park and create a community at-mosphere,” he said.

Milne said a project called Beach Buddieshad helped displace anti-social behaviourat the beach making it safe for the commu-nity.

Muizenberg police spokesperson CaptainStephen Knapp is excited about the forma-tion of the Friends group. “Until now wehave always dealt with individuals when itcomes to the park. Now, as a group, you areable to demand a little more,” he said.

Questions over whether or not theFriends should register as a non-profit or-ganisation were also raised.

Milne said while there was no legal re-quirement to do so, there was no harm.

“It also depends on who the funders are.For instance organisations such as theCommunity Chest require organisations tobe registered as an NPO before they pro-vide funding,” she said.

The committee will elect office bearersand open a bank account for the Friends.V Share your thoughts on Muizenberg Park. Startingwith the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516.

Mudslide: Geology is ‘unstable’What a sad indictment of our society lastweek’s lead story (“Furore over mudslides”,People’s Post, 3 July) makes.Especially since themudslides are only the

symptom and not the problem.One problem, as we may observe, is that

our local geology is unstable – millions ofrands and the best engineering minds havebeen unable to stabilise Chappies and evenas I write Boyes Drive is closed since a 90-year-old cutting collapsed during this ex-tremely wet and severe winter.The red sandstones of the Simon’s Town

area (theGraafwater system) and sanddunesare especially susceptible to caving, particu-larly if disturbed by building works.And this is a further problem many Cape-

tonians have forgotten since those happydays when Sedick Arendse’s communityused to live in harmony among us.This community, the skilled artisans of the

building trade, has an “owner-builder” tradi-tion of building their own homes as andwhen finance becomes available, rather thanincurringheavymortgageswhicharenot en-couraged by the Muslim faith.The neighbours in Dorries Drive should

take heart, although Arendse’s “owner-built” house will take longer to complete, itwill probably be much more soundly con-structed than those houses thrown up byspeculative builders which blight somany ofour leafy suburbs.I was encouraged that some of those neigh-

bours offered advice toArendse and feel sure

that there are reasonable people of goodwilltherewhowill welcomehim into their neigh-bourhood, and that this will go some way toeasing some of the pain that this family andso many others felt on being uprooted fromtheir traditional homes.Now silly things have been said on both

sides, the neighbours object to the lack of afence on the property (as if this would havestopped a mudslide) and complain that therewas a cat on the property (wow!), and yourreporter did no one any favours by reportingArendse’s accusations of racism.Let’s stop talking past each other, let’s stop

protecting our own turf and let’s start com-municating and working together towardsour own shared South Africa.OLIVER TREVOR,MuizenbergAs stated in the article the neighbours raisedconcerns about the lack of the fence as theyfeared the property is easily accessible to ani-mals and children.They didnot claim itwouldstop the mud.Arendse did not agree to answer questions

about building work on his property. He in-stead issued a statement in which he claimedthe neighbours are racist.The role of the media is to report fairly and

give all involved the chance to express theiropinions and concerns. Arendse opted to re-spond in this way.It is his right to do so. The readers has to

make up their own minds about the issue. –News Ed.

Library needs your helpThe Friends of Muizenberg Library striveto support our library staff in all their en-deavours to enhance the public’s enjoy-ment of this facility.Our on-going project is the cleaning and

re-covering of books in the non-fiction sec-tion and assistance in preparing new booksto be shelf-ready.We also aim to raise sufficient funds to

purchase new adult and children’s books.Our funds are also used to support the li-

brary’s school holiday programmes and thechildren’s reading projects by supplyingprizes, books and project materials.To enable us to continue doing this we de-

pend entirely on our generous public whodonate books which we can sell at our regu-lar book sales.These take place on Saturday mornings

approximately every six weeks, weatherpermitting, on the pavement in front of theMuizenberg Library in Atlantic Road. Welook forward to your donations of good usedfiction and non-fiction, including coffee ta-ble books, as well as suitable raffle prizes.We take this opportunity to thank you

sincerely for your ongoing generosity andcommitment.HOLDI FORD,Friends of Muizenberg Library

Your SMSesMudslides in Dorries Road

. Mr Arendse, your attitude is exactlywhat is wrong in this country. You are poi-soned by the past and use that as an excuse.Are all your accusations really necessary?Grow up or move somewhere else whereyou can live in the past in peace.

Adie twinstackle the BergThe race for thewomen’s title at the Berg

River Canoe marathon took on a newcomplexion with the addition of Abby

and Alex Adie to the already competitivewomen’s field for this year’s race.

The 24-year old twins have stamped theirauthority on women’s river racing in recentmonths, with each eager to add a solid Bergperformance to their already impressiverésumé.

For Alex, the Berg serves as the golden op-portunity to signal her full return to compet-itive paddling after a broken leg in 2004 sig-nificantly hampered her progress as a jun-ior.

The Peninsula Canoe Club member put ina solid effort with partner Hilary Bruss inher first competitive race back at this year’sDusi in February, before she and Abbyclinched a commanding victory in the 2014Non-Stop Dusi a few weeks later.

While theBerg is a journeyAlexhasn’t un-dertaken previously, her lack of experienceon the Berg River isn’t putting the talentedpaddler off.

“I’ve been debating doing a Berg for awhile andwithmemoving to the Cape (fromKwaZulu-Natal), I naturally just slotted intothe season. I’m really looking forward to thisyear’s Berg,” Alex says.

“I’ve done a couple of the pre-Berg raceswhichhavehelped get themileageupa little.Abby also came down to the Cape a coupleof days ago and we’ll look to spend a bit oftime on the river before the race, trying tolearn a fewmore of the lines and the sneaks.If I can get a top three finish at this year’sBerg, it would be great.”

The twins join the likes of Kirsten Pend-eris (AQRate), Nicole Russell, HayleyArthur and Lauren Felgate (all MacSquad)and Bianca Beavitt in a women’s field of adepth which few recent Berg editions haveenjoyed.

“It’s great to have a competitive women’sfield for Berg this year,” Alex says.

“The more girls on the line, the strongerthe race is likely to be. With us starting to-gether on day one, having more girls on thelinemeans there are a fewmore paddlers wecan look to work with early on.”

The tough, long days of theBergMarathonare as much a test of mental toughness asphysical strength and endurance.

Forminganalliancewith a competitor cango a long way in aiding one’s chances, some-thing which gives the sisters a significantadvantage before a paddle stroke has evenbeen taken.

“Naturally Abby and I have a far strongerbond with each other than we do with anyof the other girls, so I’m sure if we’re nearenough to one another,we’d behappy tohelpeach other wherever we can,” Alex says.

The Berg River Canoe Marathon starts inPaarl on Wednesday 16 July and ends atVelddrif on Saturday 19 July.V Visit www.berg.org.za for more information.

Nicole Sanders may not be able to walkwithout crutches, but she has the abilityto make horses dance.Sanders has overcome cerebral palsy to

make her mark in the equestrian sportingarena over the past eight years.The Lakeside resident has achieved

huge success as a dressage competitorthrough sheer determination and a burn-ing ambition to represent South Africa atthe Paralympic Games in Brazil in 2016.But unlike other international competi-

tors, she does not have the time and re-sources to train for three hours a day, sixdays a week.Instead she has to train and compete on

borrowed horses.“This is one thing I truly love, which I

know I am good at – I would love to be giv-en the opportunity to show what I amworth,” Sanders says.“My competitors are all sponsored –

they have the chance to compete locallyand internationally on their own horses.I do not come from a high-income back-ground, but I am hard-working and deter-mined to achieve my goals.”She trains at the South African Riding

for the Disabled Association (Sarda) inConstantia for just 45 minutes each weekand often has just 15 minutes to get toknow the horse she uses at a competition.Having achieved under these circum-

stances is a testament to her exceptionalability as a dressage rider, as well as herremarkable resilience.However, without the necessary finan-

cial backing, Nicole is unlikely to achieve

her dream of competing in the Paralym-pics and making SA proud.Former Proteas cricketer Brett Schultz

and his partner Georgina Swain havemade it their goal to help Sanders getaround her lack of funding.“Nicole was achieving exceptional re-

sults in dressage arenas across the world.Time was running out for her to realiseher dream as a result of a lack of fundingand limited access to training,” Schultzsays.“The commitment and dedication she

has shown to her sports discipline is com-mendable. As an able-bodied sportsmanin my day, I can only respect her passionand drive. We decided to do something tohelp keep her dream alive.”With the assistance of sponsorsEurolux

and Econorisk, Craig Hinds of Watershedand restaurateur Mike Lumb, the coupleandSarda started theJourney to theParal-ympics 2016 fundraising campaign.On Sunday 20 July the campaign will

commence when top SA band Watershedtakes to the stage for a event.An intimate food, wine and music expe-

rience, the lunchtime eventwill take placeat B.B Ques restaurant at Groot Constan-tia Wine Estate.V Tickets cost R600 per person; only 150 are availa-ble. Email marketing@bridgecape.com to book yourplace.

New heights forCape Town MarathonA recently sealed naming rights sponsor-ship could see the Cape Town Marathon be-come Africa’s first World Marathon Majors(WWM) event.WWM currently consists of the six largest

and most renowned annual marathons intheworld. The series charts the performanc-es of athletes in theTokyo,Boston,NewYorkCity, Chicago, London and Berlin mara-thons over a two-year cycle, with the top per-forming men’s and women’s runners split-ting $1 000 000 at the end of the cycle.All six races are ranked as gold on the In-

ternational Association of Athletics Federa-tions’ (IAAF) RoadRace Label Events classi-fication system, which ranks theworld’s topraces as bronze, silver or gold. The CTMara-thon is not currently ranked.However, a sponsorship from Sanlam,

which will see the race renamed the SanlamCT Marathon, has allowed organisers tobring forward plans to apply for Silver Labelclassification.The race is jointly hosted by the City of

Cape Town, Western Province Athletics(WPA) and ASEM Running.This year the 42.2km marathon race will

be the culmination of a festival of running.It will feature in a 10km Peace Run, a 4.2kmPeaceRun, twoPeaceTrailRuns, aPeaceRe-lay and a Peace Mile Race.Themarathon will take place on Saturday

20 and Sunday 21 September.
