City gets court interdict to clean Dunoon toilets PETER LUHANGA

A portable toilet provision and cleaning company contracted by the City of Cape Town has to be accompanied by law enforcement when going in to Dunoon informal settlements to clean and service communal toilets they’ve provided.

The company, Sanitech, has been rejected

by Dunoon informal settlement residents after it received a toilet servicing and cleaning contract from the City in July, taking over from previous contract holder Mshegu Toilet Hire.

Residents have rejected Sanitech’s services since August, saying the company failed to do an acceptable job during a period when they were subcontracted by Mshegu.

There have been numerous protests, including emptying buckets of faeces on the N7, but the City of Cape Town has remained committed to keeping Sanitech on for the length of their threeyear contract worth approximately R173m.

On 23 September, mayco member for waste and sanitation, Xanthea Limberg, said the City obtained a court interdict to allow Sanitech to service the toilets according to their contract.

Limberg said Sanitech is being accompanied

by Law Enforcement to ensure the safety of their staff and resources in Dunoon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Send your letters to the editor on Whatapp on 084 229 6399 or email

editior@isolabantunews.co.za

Dear Editor We would like to raise a complaint to the City of Cape Town regarding the Dunoon Transport Interchange. It is of great concern that local companies are not employed at the taxi rank. On the 19th of March 2020, security guards were dismissed without payment. We requested to have meeting a long time ago to address this issue and to date, there has been no response. We need to address the issue as soon as possible.

- Michael Caji, Sibabalwa Business Forum, Dunoon.

The City of Cape Town Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Felicity Purchase, responds: Dear Mr Caji, Please note the following: •

All of the construction contracts that the City enters into require that the contractor provides temporary work opportunities to residents who are registered on the jobseekers database of the local subcouncil.

•

The contractor is also required to source services and products from local subcontractors, where possible.

•

The City’s contract with the contractor clearly stipulates what percentage of the contract value must be spent on temporary work opportunities, and on goods and services sourced from local subcontractors. The City of Cape Town’s project manager monitors the spending, and if the contractor is in breach of the conditions they are liable for penalties.

•

The contractor must advertise for local goods and services, and can use any method of advertising to source bids.

•

Any business in Cape Town is allowed to submit a bid to the contractor who must determine whether the goods and services offered meet their requirements in terms of the standard, skills, workmanship, and price quoted.

•

The contractor cannot use goods and services from subcontractors that do not meet the applicable standards because the contractor is responsible for the overall quality of the construction project.

•

The contractor has the right to appoint a subcontractor that submits a competitive bid.

•

All buildings and construction work must comply with the National Building Regulations.

•

The contractor is entitled to use subcontractors that provide value for money. If the subcontractors from the local area do not meet the criteria, the contractor must source subcontractors from other areas to get the work done.

Importantly:

•

The City must comply with the Municipal Finance Management Act that requires that we follow an open and transparent supply chain management process – meaning, all contracts must be advertised in the open market and all businesses must be allowed to tender for these contracts.

•

No single business has the right to a contract. Neither is any business entitled to subcontracts.

•

Entrepreneurs must ensure that their goods and services meet the applicable standards, and that their skills are impeccable so that they can be competitive in the open market, and beat their competitors.

I encourage the Sibabalwe Dunoon Business Forum to engage with their members and to convey the above message.

SASSA launches online grant application portal STAFF REPORTER

A new remote selfservice allows social grant applicants to apply for certain social grants online, from a computer or mobile phone from 14 September 2020.

Initially, the Child Support, Older Persons, and Foster Child grants can be lodged on https://services. sassa.gov.za. After reviewing the system other grants will also be added to the portal.

SASSA said this should be a relief to grant applicants as it will save them the inconvenience of standing in queues at SASSA offices in order to apply for their grants.

The added advantage

is that the convenience of online applications eliminates the risk of being infected with the Covid-19 virus because there will be no need to gather at public places in order to apply.

An application response is expected after 10 days, provided the applicant supplies all the required documents such as identity documents of applicant and spouse as well as banking details among others, certified by a commissioner of oaths.

The online submission of the required supporting documentation linked to the application will handle issues such as change of circumstances payment method, banking details, address and status of application.

SOCIAL GRANTS APPLICATION goes online.

Sassa grant payment not affected by post office’s finances The SA Post Office has assured social grant beneficiaries that payment of social grants will not be affected by the current financial restraints experienced by the Post Office.

A statement issued by Government Communication and Information

Systems (GCIS) guarantees that social grants payment will continue as normal.

The funds for social grants, the GCIS states, come from National Treasury through the Department of Social Development and are not

funded from the revenue of the SA Post Office.

The SA Post Office experienced a dramatic reduction in revenue during the lockdown period and is currently looking at ways to improve cash flows.

She said this results in it taking much longer for the company to service and clean the toilet, but the initial cleaning and servicing of the toilets was underway, having started on Wednesday 23 September.

As a result, Dunoon informal settlement residents have resorted to cleaning communal toilets but continue to protest by dumping faeces along main roads.

On Tuesday 22 September Iliso Labantu witnessed faeces strewn along Potsdam Road, covering an approximately one kilometre stretch Atlantis SEZ CI from the intersection Primary Logos of Usasadza Road and Stables Way in the direction of Malibongwe Drive.

People walking past were seen covering their nose Logo the with stench hangto avoid pay-off line ing in the air.

Residents have sub-

mitted two petitions to the City in relation to Sanitech. One on 24 July and the second petition earlier this month on 9 September.

A community leader familiar with these petitions, who asked his name be withheld, said the city hadn’t replied to either petition.

In the first petition, residents demanded the City rescind the Sanitech contract, while the second contained further grievances, such as low water pressure in several informal settlements, lack of tap water and toilets in some informal settlements established years ago, sewer blockages, and illegal dumping.

The community leader said he had seen a court interdict pasted onto solid waste shipping containers in the informal settlements, but all the posters

had been ripped down by the next day.

He said people making decisions at the City lived in plush homes and had no experience of utilizing a communal toilet.

He said if the City wanted to force residents to accept Sanitech toilets, these facilities would not be safe.

“We will come up with a strategy to deal with whatever they leave behind. We will deal with it,” he said.

Sanitech managing director Robert Erasmus said: “Sanitech commenced its services in the Dunoon area today [23 September] as per the city directive, and accompanied by city security representatives.”

Meanwhile Mshengu Toilet Hire operations manager Benjamin Milandou said they had not yet removed the 874

CALL FOR ATLANTIS BUSINESSES TO REGISTER ON THE ASEZ’S DATABASE The Atlan�s Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) development is a collabora�on between the Department of Trade, Industry and Compe��on (DTIC), the Western Cape Government (WCG)’s Department of Economic Development and Tourism (DEDAT) and the City of Cape Town (CoCT), to facilitate the growth of the SEZ in Atlan�s.

toilets they provided for Dunoon.

Sibabalwa Dunoon Business Forum coordinator Michael Caji said the City and its contractor should subcontract local companies as these would be able to clean the toilets, and residents would not stop the work as it employed local residents.

“If local companies are subcontractors, residents won’t fight them,” said Caji.

Regarding ongoing sewerage blockages, Limberg said Dunoon presents a set of “very unique

challenges to efficient service delivery”.

“Chief among these is the rapid growth of the area and extremely high numbers of unauthorised structures being built.

Many of these structures have been built illegally over the City’s manholes, which means that when a pipe becomes blocked, teams are not able to access the blockage and clear it. There are valid reasons for having building regulations in place and this is one of them,” she said.

Also, she said the

number one cause of the recurring sewer blockages and resultant overflows in Dunoon was the dumping of inappropriate materials into the sewer system, the main culprits being rags and cooking oil/fat, and sand and litter.

She said residents and businesses in the area are reminded that, in terms of the Wastewater and Industrial Effluent By-law, no person may discharge substances into a municipal sewer that will interfere with the free flow of sewage.

Man pleads guilty to murdering Indoda ilivumile ityala lokubulala girlfriend in horrific attack iqabane lalo.

STAFF REPORTER

A woman had her throat slit in a brutal murderous attack, allegedly by her boyfriend, at about 9.30pm on Saturday 12 September in a shack they shared in Dunoon’s West Beach 2 informal settlement.

Milnerton SAPS spokesperson, Captain Nopaya Madyibi said the 44-year-old woman was allegedly murdered by her 55-year-old boyfriend, who had been arrested.

The horrific murder has shocked the township’s residents, said Dunoon Gender Based Violence Movement

leader Yamkela Mbulana.

Mbulana said her organisation received a call from a resident, informing them that a woman had been killed by her boyfriend, who cut her throat.

She says the community was aware of the couple’s troubles as they had been quarreling for long time.

Mbulana, together with about 40 other women from Dunoon, protested outside the Cape Town magistrate court on Tuesday 15 September to voice their opposition to the suspect being granted bail at his first court appearance.

She said the suspect pleaded guilty and that his formal bail hearing

application was set for 1 October.

But she says Dunoon women are fed up with violence against women and children and so will return to court to continue opposing bail. They are also circulating a petition to submit to the investigating officer so it can be handed over to the presiding magistrate.

Dunoon neighbourhood watch coordinator Noluthando Ludziya said the incident is shocking.

“It is becoming more apparent that men behave like wild animals towards women. They don’t do this to each other. It is very rare that they cut each other’s throats. It shows that anywhere is not safe for women,” said Ludziya.

UMBHALI WETHU

Unqunyulwe umqala owasetyhini ngethuba ehlaselwa liqabane ngomhla ka 12 September ngoMgqibelo. Oku kwenzeke etyotyombeni labo eWest Beach eDunoon.

Umbulawa uthe

lombutho wabo ufumene umxeba esithi owasetyhini ubulewe yindoda ancuma nayo.

Uthe uluntu belusazi ngobudlelwane besisibini ebesisoloko sixabana yaye kudala kwabanjalo.

Umbulawa kunye namanina aseDunoon babambe uqhankqalazo ngaphandle kweNkundla kaMantyi yaseKapa bekhalazela ukuba lendoda ufumene ibheyile ngethuba ivela okokuqala enkundleni.

Uthe umtyholwa ulivumile ityala yaye ukuviwa kwesicela sakhe sebheyile bekubekelwe umhla ka 1 October.

a dikiwe bubundlobongela obujoliswe kuwo nabantwana yaye bazakubuya basikhaphe isicele sebheyile. Yaye benze ipetition apho bazakuyithumela kumcuphi ozakuyithacazisa kumantyi.

Ongummququzeleleli weDunoon Neighbourhood Watch uNoluthando Ludziya uthe esisehlo sikothusile ukuhlala.

“Kuya kucaca ukuba amadoda aziphethe okwezilwanyana xa ejolise kwabasetyhini. Abayenzi lento kumanye amadoda soze uve kuthwa banqumlene imiqala. Oku kuyasibonisa ba asikhuselekanga”

Dunoon roads maintenance contract canceled STAFF REPORTER

The City of Cape Town has cancelled a R2m contract for the repair deteriorating road infrastructure, while potholes remain a feature of Dunoon.

Mayoral Committee member for Transport, Felicity Purchase, says this is due to non-responsiveness from the contractor, and the R2 million has not been expended.

“Certain roads in the Dunoon area are in a dire state and in need of repair. Contributing factors include illegal dumping, encroachment into the road reserve, constant overflowing sewers and leaking water pipes. We have made numerous attempts to roll out a road maintenance contract, but

have not been successful due to the volatility of the area,” said Purchase.

She said the City made two attempts to enter the area to do permanent repairs during June, with a community meeting having taken place on 11 June where the ward councillor was present to inform the community of the planned works.

A contractor had already been appointed to proceed with the contract on 18 June but days of inclement weather followed and the contract commencement date was moved to 22 June. It was during this time that the councillor’s office was torched and active violent protests took place in the area.

“The violent protest has been ongoing since, but this has not deterred us from making another

attempt to roll out this project,” she said.

She said during the City’s last attempt in July, the contractors raised the issue of the ongoing protest and malicious damage to public and private property and requested intervention from the City prior to and during the contract.

“The contractor does not want to risk damages to their plant and the safety of their staff is the highest priority. The risk resides with the City of Cape Town should the contractor suffer damages to property or injury to staff,” said Purchase. This had resulted in the contract subsequently being cancelled.

Ward councillor Lubabalo Makeleni said he hadn’t been informed about this.

MAYCO MEMBER FOR URBAN MANAGEMENT, GRANT TWIGG says the City recognises the significance of the informal trading sector and its contribution to the economy and poverty reduction.

STAFF REPORTER

A public participation process has been initiated to give communities an opportunity to comment on the proposals for the informal trading plan aimed to provide dedicated informal trading opportunities and security of tenure for informal traders in Dunoon.

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Management Directorate is inviting the public to comment on the proposed draft informal trading plan for Dunoon until 15 October.

The City stated changes in trading have triggered the need to review

the current informal trading plan in order to address some of the challenges and to create an enabling, supportive and well managed trading environment for all users of this public space.

“The proposed changes will, among other things, address crime, provide bigger trading bays and most importantly, enhance the ability of traders to adhere to the COVID-19 safety regulations,” said Grant Twigg, mayco member for urban management.

Twigg said the City of Cape Town recognises the significance of informal trading and its contribution to the economy and to poverty reduction.

It also helps with the creation of employment opportunities that in turn contribute to the household income.

“The City, through this public participation process, wants to put forward the best possible plan with input from the whole community for a sustainable and vibrant informal sector in order to create an environment that is conducive to the growth of businesses and the economy,” he said.

Comments on the draft informal trading can be made on www.capetown. gov.za/haveyoursay or at the sub-council 3 offices, security reception desk, Milnerton Municipal offices.

Amateur Football still in the dark DAVID ROSSOUW

Covid-19 has had a dramatic impact on football, communities, fans, and related businesses.

The Professional Soccer League (PSL) and the National Soccer League (NSL) GladAfrica Championship is something of the past, and for amateur soccer clubs in the ABC Motsepe League(WC), there is uncertainty about whether they will complete the last 13 remaining matches.

Clubs playing in the Western Cape ABC Motsepe League held a virtual meeting with delegates from SAFA’s competition department and provincial executive committee members Mlungisi Ncame, Thulani Ngwenya, Gerald Don, and Bennett Bailey on Monday 31 August to determine whether the league will be completed or canceled.

No decision was finalised, as delegates only listened to the club proposals, forwarding these to the SAFA national executive committee to

be discussed for approval.

The very positive meeting had a few discrepancies, pointed out by the clubs.

According to SAFA, a draft request was sent to the Minister of Sport and Culture, Mr. Nathi Mthetwa, on 20 August to ask permission for amateur football, ABC Motsepe League to be allowed to complete the remaining games of the second league during level two lockdown. SAFA recommended that teams to start training in line with the requirements from 1-30 September.

Matches are scheduled for between 1-30 October, followed by play-off matches from 9-15 November for promotion to the National Soccer League (NSL), GladAfrica Championship.

But, “this draft is not final”, said Mlungisi Ncame from SAFA. According to the Covid-19 health and safety directive for the ABC Motsepe League 2019/2020 season and playoffs communique sent to the clubs,

SAFA is aware that many clubs in the league do not have the means to keep the players in a biologically safe bubble or camp during the season.

The national regulations stipulate that all players must be tested for Covid-19, and most clubs cannot afford this cost.

Many of the teams felt that SAFA’s requirements were not in line with the national government’s regulations and therefore asked SAFA to reconsider the request over their proposal of the Covid-19 test.

A virtual meeting between the clubs and the SAFA Western Cape

Provincial Executive was scheduled to take place on 7 September but was postponed due to an NEC meeting. For amateur football, it still looks dark for the ABC Motsepe Leagues in the nine provinces after President Cyril Ramaphosa September 16 announcement of lock-

down level one. There is still no place for teams to practice and play because all sports facilities remain closed. The expectations were that amateur clubs would be able to return to full training and playing at level one, but that was not the case.

Power series delivers a thriller at Killarney DAVE ABRAHAMS

Round 4 of the Power Series presented by Wingfield Motors and Kfm 94.5 at Killarney International Raceway on Saturday 26 September delivered superb racing in conditions that could most charitably be described as unpredictable.

Heavy rain during qualifying persuaded a number of competitors to play it safe, resulting in confused grids and some chaotic opening laps, followed by thriller charges as the top contenders fought their way through the pack to the front.

Wingfield Motors’ Danie van Niekerk, however, is one driver that doesn’t know how to play it safe. He qualified his BMW E36 on pole for the Mikes Place Clubmans Saloons and led every lap

of Race 1, followed at a respectful distance by Class B leader Wayne Wilson in the DTM Helderberg Maxima, Brennon Green’s Weskaap Bakwerke Golf 5, Rafiek ‘Fiekie’ Pather in the LVTS BMW E46 and Ewald Weiland’s classic Bejo Trustees Alfa GTV. Nieyaaz Modack, who’d qualified fourth in the MIM Carriers/NS1 Motors M3 but didn’t come out for Race 1, was all over Van Niekerk like a rash from the start of Race 2 – until Achmat Achmat crashed his Beta Machine and Tool 135 out of sixth place in Car Car Clinic Sweep on the first lap and brought out the red flags.

The restart was an epic dice; Modack blitzed Van Niekerk on lap three and held on for all he was worth as Van Nierkerk chased him all the way, never more than a car length away and just

0.274sec in arrears at the flag. Green in the white Golf finished a well-deserved third, just ahead of Wilson and Pather.

Modack was all set to challenge Van Niekerk again in the final outing of the day but slowed drastically at the end of lap one and only completed six tours. Van Niekerk romped home unchallenged, finishing well clear of Green, Pather and Mansoor Parker (Armien Levy Motorsport BMW E30) who made a brilliant comeback after two troubled earlier outings.

Marco Busi (Automan Polo) dominated the Cheaper Cars GTi Challenge, qualifying on pole and leading both races from lights to flag, despite the best efforts of Colin Meder (International Tube Technology Polo) and Charl Visser (Charl

Electrical Engineering Polo 6 2L), who finished second and third respectively in each outing.

Eden Thompson (VW Polo) finished a strong fourth (and leading class B) in Race 1 after an early dice with Visser and Dillon Joubert (Powder Coat-

ing World/TAC Steel Polo 6), until Joubert dropped out on lap seven.

Joubert came back strongly in Race 2, however, running third ahead of Thompson and Visser until lap five, when he was demoted to fourth by a charging Visser, who’d

come up from sixth at the end of lap one. Thompson followed home in fifth overall and first in Class B, 4.6 seconds ahead of Chris Roberts (Roberts Racing Golf 2), sixth overall and second in Class B. —Killarney International Raceway
