THE state of the Liesbeeck River hasbrought about contrastingviews,with localsplanning to take immediate action.Beer bottles, foodwrappers, human faeces

and other waste line the banks of the river,which plays home to various types of fishand other wildlife.However, theCity ofCapeTownstillmain-

tains thatLiesbeeckRiver is “one of the leastpolluted rivers in the city”, while locals feelserious action is needed.Observatory resident Felicity Fouche ac-

knowledges clean-up efforts made by theCity in the past, but claims there is a lackof security to keep tabs on pollution levels.“It’s one thing cleaning up the river, but

it’s another thing to maintain it and that iswhere the questions come in” she says.“How is this area being monitored?”She adds that dirt is “all around the river”

and waved away suggestions that the windis the cause of all the dirt in this area.“If you walk along the river, you see pack-

ets containing dirt, maybe after a family isfinished with a meal, that has been thrownon the banks of the river. That certainlyshows that people are destroying the space,”Fouche says.Emile Young, the chairperson of the Ob-

servatory Civic Association and director ofthe Observatory Improvement District, wasleft speechless when visiting the river lastweek.On arrival, Young was forced to pick up

beer bottles littered across the side of the riv-er.“This is really sad and unpleasant at the

same time.Wehave animals that rely on thisriver in order to survive; they certainly can-not live in this filth,” she says.Young promised that immediate action

will be taken and that efforts will be madeby local organisations to clean up sectionsof the river before tackling the issue withcouncil.“I am completely disgusted at the amount

of dirt inside and around the river. This cer-tainly is not just caused by the wind,” shesays.Young explains that vagrants setting up

camp on the top of the river could easily beblamed for the body of water’s state.Vagrants bathing and starting fires were

some of the concerns mentioned by locals.Mayoral Committee member for Trans-

port, Roads and Stormwater, Brett Herron,explains that Liesbeeck River serves large

urban catchments, which includes commer-cial and industrial zones.He feels areas such as these will always be

“subject to some degree of pollution”, but be-lieves that the visual pollution is basicallyderived from litter, both wind-blown and lit-ter on the streets and pavements, whichfinds its way into the stormwater system.“The Liesbeeck River is one of the least

polluted rivers in the City, when consider-ing that a fair extent of its catchment com-prises a highly developed urban area,” Her-ron says.

The City has a broad river cleaning pro-gramme which increases cleaning frequen-cies in areas where litter generation is high.The Liesbeeck River is not regarded as a

high litter area.“To assist in keeping litter generation to

a minimum, it is important for residents todispose of waste correctly and to be awarethat litter located on a road or pavementwillalmost certainly find its way to the nearestriver,” he says.With regard to the vagrants, acting execu-

tive director for Safety and Security, Heath-

cliff Thomas, confirms that theCity is awareof the activities by vagrants along the riverand theDisplacedPeoplesUnit (DPU) isusedas a tool to curb the problems.TheDPU teamsupwith theClaremont and

Mowbray City Improvement Districts formonthly joint clean-up operations.Homeless people along the banks of the

river have been assisted in the past, but re-turned to the area.“The operations will continue with the

hope that it will discourage the vagrants,”Thomas adds.

HAVE YOUR SAY!POLICIES AND STRATEGY

NADINE MOODIE

AN opinion piece in the UCT student publi-cationVarsityhas beenmetwithmixed feel-ings on social media.The publication’s editor-in-chief, Alexan-

dra Nagel, has, meanwhile, opted to retractsome of the wording on an accompanyingpie chart which has been found to be mostoffensive.This is in response to an on-campus sur-

vey done by student Qamran Tabo (20).Tabo wrote that 38% students preferred

to date “Caucasian” people, 14% preferredto date Indians, 19% preferred Coloureds,11%preferred to dateAsians, 10%preferredto date mixed race individuals and 8% pre-ferred “Africans”.The opinion piece, which was accompa-

nied by a disclaimer, has resulted in com-ments on Facebook and Twitter.It has since publication last week made

national headlines, and has led to the UCTeditorial team fielding a deluge of com-plaints.Media24 press ombudsmanGeorge Claas-

sen says the results of the piece should notbe taken seriously, because it is not scientif-ically representative and is unreliable.“This is a case of bad journalism and ter-

rible science exercised by the Varsity edito-rial team,” says Claassen.Nagel reiterates the opinion expressed by

Tabo is not necessarily that of Varsity.“The writer did not abuse her right nor

did she have any intention of issuing an at-tack on individual racial groups. She sim-ply just pinpointed a matter that is still af-fecting South Africans,” Nagel said.“I will, however, retract the words ‘UCT

votes on most attractive race’ as the title ofthe pie chart.”UCT’s Young Communist League chair-

person Mangaliso Khomo says they willlodge a complaintwith the SouthAfricaHu-manRightsCommission. “The results of thesurveywere insensitive. This is a clear signthat race relations are still a work inprogress on campus,” he said.Claassen explained that the 60 students

polled in the survey were exercising theirconstitutional right.“People have the right to say what they

think. A question like this should’ve beenused in a vox-pop.”EconomicsHonours student Thembi Losi

says the editorial team should have exer-cised better judgement.“They should have rather asked what

characteristics people value in others andnot race preference,” says Losi.“The question at hand is too subjective

and touches on race, (which is) a sensitivetopic in South Africa.”UCT SRC’s vice-chairperson of external

affairs, KeenanHendricks, says the opinionpiece raises a serious issue of race sensitivi-ty in South Africa.“We really need to look at the autonomy

of the press, but at the same time we alsohave to protect the dignity of the studentwho wrote the article.”

Love poll getsunder the skin

SOUTH AFRICA is one of only 12 coun-tries across the world where it is safe todrink tap water.The Blue Drop certification pro-

gramme ranked SA as the country withthe third best tap water in the world.The incentive-based initia-

tive regulates water servicesglobally, with the aim to im-prove andmaintain the qual-ity of drinking water. It cov-ers several water manage-ment aspects.Deidre Nxumalo-Freeman,

the president of the Instituteof Waste Management ofSouthern Africa, applaudslocal municipalities for itsmonitoring and attention tothe quality of our drinkingwater.“In South Africa, our constitution dic-

tates that access to safe drinking wateris a basic human right. The departmentof water affairs instituted the Blue Dropprogramme in 2008 and since then, wehave largely seen continuous improve-ment in the rankings of our municipali-ties in respect of drinking water quali-ty,” she says.“One source of our water is groundwa-

ter, (which) collects underground fromrunoff. We consider it essential that peo-ple are aware of how easily our water ta-bles can become contaminated throughbad waste management practices. We al-so need to be vigilant when it comes to

maintaining and upgradingthe infrastructures that allowus to have a high quality ofdrinking water.”The institute focuses on ed-

ucation and training, in part-nership with municipalities,to better equip them with anunderstanding of the impor-tance of effective waste man-agement matters.“As such we believe in the

efficacy of getting a messageacross, particularly to thoseworking at grass roots level,

in order to engender a greater apprecia-tion of the importance of their variousfunctions,” Nxumalo-Freeman says.“While our local and district munici-

palities are responsible for ensuring thatwe have access to safe drinking water,we must all assist in the process. The in-stitute has an important role in creatingawareness along with empowermentthrough information.”

UPPERWOODSTOCK residents haveman-aged to turn a ghastly weed-choked lane in-to a friendly open space for all to enjoy.After months of work, Rainham Lane,

which runs between Chamberlain andSalisbury roads, has now finally beencleared ofweeds, dumped construction rub-ble and dirt, with the work mainly beingcarried out by the residents abutting thelane.The plan is now to turn the lane into a

communal space for market days, garden-ing, aplayarea, dog-walking, pop-up socialsand an area to relax.Resident Masha du Toit has been carry-

ing out work at the lane since last year anddescribes the efforts as “heavywork” inherblog.“It was pretty bad. Some areas of the lane

were completely choked with weeds,” shewrites. “Part of me prefers the forest ofweeds rather than the bare concrete, butunder those weeds were heaps of garbageand builders rubble.”Du Toit adds that the challenge lies in

maintaining the lane, as not all residentswere ensuring that the lane remains clean.“In the very beginning, we started off

with lots of participation from the commu-nity, but since then, the numbers havedwindled and only a few residents aremak-ing sure that the lane stays clean,” she says.Du Toit applauded the efforts of fellow

resident, Liana Muller, for being theproject’s primary pulse.People’s Post attempted to get hold of

Muller, but was unsuccessful.Resident IngridDekker feels that inorder

to keep the lane clean, the area needs to bebeautified.She suggested that pot plants, housed in

tins, be hung on the walls along RainhamLane, which she believes will prevent peo-ple from dumping.Dekker suggested that residents abutting

the lane use the newly created space forplanting and artistic murals.Chairperson for the Upper Woodstock

Residents Association, Grant Quixley, ap-plauded residents’ efforts to keep the areaclean. “The association is fully supportiveof residents’ initiative to take ownership ofthese spaces in order to rejuvenate the ar-ea,” he says.A few of the association members also

lent a helping hand during the clean upprocess. “We are proud of these residentsand we think it’s fantastic that they werewilling to give up their time to tackle thisproject,” a proud Quixley says.Ward councillor Brett Herron believes

residents have put in a “fantastic effort” toclean up Rainham Lane.“This sort of initiative as well as the resi-

dents need to be commended and thankedfor their contribution to making our com-munities far more liveable,” he says.He was aware that residents had started

cleaning the lane, and is overjoyed that somuch has been achieved.When Herron last heard about the

project, Rainham Lane was still chokedwith weeds and dirt.The City has very limited resources and

both budgets, as well as the City’s humancapital, have been stretched, Herron ex-plains. “It is important for residents to part-ner with us to make public spaces more us-er-friendly since without that partnering,we are only really able to provide a basicmaintenance service,” Herron adds.To find out more or get involved with

cleaning the lane, visit the Facebook page‘Rainham Lane, Woodstock’.Several other residents abutting the lane

can be contacted via this page.

Getting inked:Getting inked:art or trash?art or trash?

PEOPLE get tattoos for vari-ous reasons. Some do it onspiritual grounds, some in

remembrance of a special personor event and others for no reasonother than art.People’s Post interns Luzuko Zi-

ni and Tarren-Lee Habelgaarnpolled readers to find outwhetherthey thought tattoos were arty ortrashy.

JUDY FJUDY FONTWI:ONTWI: She says people should get tat-toos for the right reasons. “I love tattoos becauseit’s art. It’s a personal choice to get one but peopleshould not get it just to impress people. I havefive tattoos and I’m getting another one soon.”

WILLIAMWILLIAM DEDE VILLIERVILLIERS:S: He says people get tattoosjust to show off and he doesn’t see the point. “It’swrong to have it because if God wanted me tohave a tattoo, I would have been born with it.”

ALIZEALIZE RIX:RIX: She says tattoos are art and a wayof self expression. “A person with a tattoo is likeanyone else. I don’t judge people based on havingone. I already have a tattoo but I’m thinking ofgetting another.”

JOJOSESE ALINO:ALINO: He says as a religious man he hasto disagree with the idea of having your bodyinked. “In the Bible it says tattoos are from thedevil. I do not agree with people getting them.”

MELISSA FOMELISSA FOURIE:URIE: She feels if people get inkedit should have meaning. She continues that itget less appealing with age. “You might get a tat-too of an eagle while you are young but whenyou get older it will look like a sparrow.”

JOJOUBERT AUBERT ACKER:CKER: He thinks tattoos are art andtell a story. He says while some people get tattoosto be cool, others do it for a deeper meaning. “Mytattoos tell my life story. Some also say once youstart you can’t stop because it gets addictive.”

URMILURMIL DESDESAI:AI: He says it’s acceptable – in modera-tion. “I can handle a person with one small tattoo,but getting many is just abnormal. I’m going toget one myself but it will be my first and last.”

LAILA MAJIET

ALMOST 10 000 homeowners are up inarms about the City of Cape Town’s valua-tion of their properties.The City has received 8548 objections

since the general valuation roll of 815 676properties were published in February.Property prices had been derived from

sales around July last year.It appears homeowners in the leafy sub-

urbs of the city are in disagreement withthe recent valuation of their properties.MayoralCommitteemember forFinance,

Ian Neilson, says 2496 objections had beenemailed, 1005 lodged at theCapeTownCivicCentre, followedby 977, 588, 571, 558, and 515at the Alphen Centre, Somerset West, FishHoek, Plumstead and the Strand offices re-spectively.The remainder were from the other 13

venues spread across the city.The main reason objectors give are that

the values placed on their properties are toohigh. The next major item being objected iswrong physical address against properties,Neilson says.Valuation expert Jerry Margolius says

the Computer Assisted Method of Valua-tion (CAMA) used by the City has its down-falls.The method is used for the majority of

properties except specialised buildings.“The system is practised worldwide. To

do individual valuations is too expensive,”Margolius explains.However, this method works well only in

areas where there is uniformity.The process works well in theWest Coast

and Cape Flats areas, Margolius says.However, in the areas which are located

along the “Table Mountain Chain”, beingthe southern suburbs and Atlantic Sea-

board properties inGreen Point and CampsBay, it does not come without its challeng-es, he says.“There are many different location fac-

tors which affect value. For example, in aCAMA process you may find property im-mediately below High Level Road, SeaPoint being highly valued because proper-ties above High Level Road are being usedto obtain the value.“The same will happen with sea-facing

buildings on Beach Road compared to prop-erties belowMainRoad. This all depends onthe knowledge of the computer programmethat is preparing the statisticalmodel to ad-dress these issues,” he explains.However, Margolius says property own-

ers and tenantsmust check their valuationsand not use the CAMA system to attack thevaluation. “They need to assess the valua-tion themselves as at 1 July 2012.”Property owners who are unhappy with

the new valuation of their home have untilthe end of this month to appeal the estimat-ed property price.The rates and taxeswill be payable on the

new property price estimations as fromMonday 1 July.Unhappiness with the amount of rates

levied does not constitute an objection.“Objections submitted against a per-

ceived incorrect valuationmust be substan-tiated. Comparing the valuation to neigh-bouring valuations does not imply that thevaluation is wrong. Objections submittedagainst incorrect administrative informa-tion, such as incorrect owner name or phys-ical address, will immediately be referredto the relevant departments for investiga-tion and correction,” Neilson explains.Margolius says 60 days is sufficient “for

a property owner who is knowledgeableand does not seek professional advice”.

Hats off toball legendsLIAM MOSES

SOMEof the province’s greatest baseballand softball players are set to receiverecognition for their service to the

game.This after the Western Cape Hall of Fame

forBaseball and Softball Legendswas found-ed by a group of current and former playersin January. The formation of the Hall wasannounced at the Baseball South Africa jun-ior inter-regional tournament at ChuckerRoad Sports Complex on Friday evening.Carolyn Inglis, secretary of Kenfac Phil-

lies Softball Club, says the purpose of theHall is to “honour, recognise and acknowl-edge the greatest and softball legends”.“I think it’s important because we have

very little record to show and acknowledgeand the excellent performances and serviceof former players, administrators andcoaches prior to unification,” Inglis says.“I think it is something to work towards.

This recognition is for legends. It is for thegreatest players and administrators. Whenwe (currently) give recognition it is just fornow – like a player of the year award. Buta legend is the best you can find. You musthave been the best.”Inglis says the idea for the Hall of Fame

was first discussed at social gatherings ofsoftball players. It has since been formal-ised, with the election of a committee andthe organisation being accepted as an affili-ate of the Western Province Softball Federa-

tion andBaseballAssociationWesternProv-ince.The Hall of Fame are yet to select players

to be inducted, but Inglis says this will hap-pen once a sub-committee is constituted.“We are going to induct the legends over

different eras and phases. The first phase(will be) players who are 70-years-old andolder, then in 2014 we are going to look atthose (aged) 60 years and older, and (we’ll)continue that (way),” says Inglis.“There is one criteria – you have to aged

50 years or older. Wemay be looking at play-ers who served (the sport) for more than 10years or who (was selected for the) provin-cial (team) or played at the highest level, interms of the league structures.”The first batch of inductees will be an-

nounced at a ceremony planned for October.Once the legends have been inducted intothe hall, their pictures and plaques will beplaced at a “neutral” venue, which is yet tobe confirmed.Inglis says the organisation hopes to turn

the venue into a smallmuseum,wherenews-paper clippings and other memorabilia willalso be displayed.The Hall of Fame Committee will be at an

information kiosk at the Old School Festivalat Athlone Athletics Baseball Club from Sat-urday 27 to Monday 29 April.Anyone who has baseball memorabilia to

donate to the Hall can attend the Festivaland visit the kiosk.V Phone Inglis on 083 286 7199.

SUPER LEAGUE B: LOSING START

Pace and guile outclasses VillagerLIAM MOSES

CLAREMONT club Villager RFC openedtheir league account with a defeat toHands andHeart at Brookside on Satur-

day.Villager were relegated to Super League

B last season after finishing stone-last in theSuper League A, the top flight of club rugbyin Cape Town.The club, South Africa’s second oldest af-

ter Hamiltons, were expected to win the en-counter, but three sublime tries saw the visi-tors win 26-16.Villager opened the scoring throughapen-

alty in the fourth minute, but outside centrePietWilmans’ kickwould be the home sides’last points of the first half.Hearts went into the game with the inten-

tion to spread the ball and keep the heavierand larger Villagers pack on the move.The tactic eventually started to bear fruit

after 20 minutes when they raced to a com-manding lead, thanks to an 11-point haul injust four minutes.FlyhalfTrevorBooysen levelled the scores

in the 22nd minute and then followed upwith a try in the 23rd, after his side brokefrom their own 22m area. Booysen missedthe subsequent conversion attempt, butwould redeem himself after only a few min-utes.Villager were struggling to live with the

pace and guile of the Hearts backs and werekept on the back foot by the visitors’ off-load-ing and quick recycling.Booysen again took centre-stage when he

helped set up Vivian Fredericks for his

team’s second touchdown in the 26thminute. He, however, again failed to add theextra points.Villager looked a renewed side when they

returned from the half-time break and nar-rowed the deficit to just one point, after a tryfrom fullback Dylan Barkas and a conver-sion from Wilmans.The sides then traded penalties, with in-

side centre Roan Groenewald goaling kicksin the 18th and 32nd minutes, and Booysenresponding with a drop goal in the 24th anda penalty in the 35th.The game was eventually put to bed in the

final minute when Hearts winger Christo-pher van der Heever forced his way over inthe final minute and Booysen converted.

. Meanwhile, Villager’s rivals and south-ern suburbs neighbours, False Bay RFC,

fared better in their season opener againstSuper League B newcomers Hamlets on Sat-urday.The Constantia side scored 11 tries and

conceded just one to trounce their opposi-tion 76-11 at Phillip Herbstein.Themammoth victory has seenBay usurp

the top spot on the table, as they go in searchof a top two finish and promotion back to Su-per League A.

. Primrose also got their season off to apromising start, beating Brackenfell RFC20-3 in Kenilworth to finish the weekend inthird on the table.

. SK Walmers edged out Belhar 17-15 inone of only two games in Super League Athis weekend.The victory leaves them second on the ta-

ble.
