Dunoon residents lose out in City of Cape Town’s new boundaries ISOLABANTU REPORTER
R
esidents of Dunoon will have to travel 35km to Atlantis to register housing applications or apply for municipal jobs, in terms of a new City of Cape Town plan for subcouncil boundaries approved at the end of October. The plan reduces subcouncil 1 – which previously included part of Milnerton, Table View, Melkbosstrand, Dunoon, Parklands and Atlantis – to just Atlantis, Melkbosstrand and Dunoon.
Milnerton and Table View are now part of subcouncil 3, along with areas such as Edgemead and Platteklip – suburbs situated across the N1 highway. It is subcouncils that receive the municipal budget, and so the selection of wards that make up subcouncils is greatly contested. Residents of Milnerton, Table View and Dunoon believe that the new subcouncil boundaries will silence their communities and split up civic alliances. The City of Cape Town is accused of not following its
own development plan and attempting to “strategically align voting units”. But the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate Services, Xanthea Limberg, has denied this. The change in subcouncils is “definitely not to silence our communities”, she said, adding that representation on subcouncils is determined by the number of votes a political party receives. Residents were told about the proposed change to subcouncils on September 22 and had until October 12 to comment on
these proposals or suggest changes. The two options they were offered – a DA one and an ANC one – were essentially the same for these areas. Lubabalo Makeleni, the ANC councillor for ward 104, which includes Dunoon, Rivergate and the Stables, opposed his party’s proposal. Instead he wanted the Parklands and Table View wards to be clustered with his ward. ~continuied on page 3

Dunoon residents lose Sovulwa kunyak’ozayo isikolo out in City of Cape Town’s new boundaries esixabisa izigidigidi ~ from page 1

here were well over a thousand objections from residents in the surrounding areas, who believed that the change would damage civic alliances. However, more than a thousand people supported the new subcouncil divisions. The DA proposal was approved at a council meeting at the end of October. Makeleni said he didn’t understand why “the poor wards are clustered together”. “They have similar problems that were not sorted out in previous years. Now these problems are clustered together.” He said people in Dunoon would now have to travel all the way to Atlantis to attend subcouncil meetings, apply for jobs in the subcouncil or register on the housing database. “Its going to be hectic and I don’t know if we are going to achieve what we have achieved in the past.” Makeleni said that it was “much better” when the ward was included with wealthier areas such as Parklands and Table View. This had meant that Dunoon could be prioritised for essential services. But now, according to Makeleni, Dunoon would have to vie for these services with other poor wards that were DA-run, he said. However, Makeleni acknowledged that the change benefits Atlantis residents, who for years have had to travel long distances to reach their subcouncil office. “They deserve it,” he said, “but for us it’s a total negative.” Peter Walsh, chairman of the Milnerton Central Residents’ Association, said the City was not following its own Integrated Development Plan (IDP) because “the essence of the IDP is about not dividing us, yet what they propose breaks up communities”. He said the City had called for public participation “in the 11th month of a 12-month process” so that residents would be “railroaded into doing what they wanted us to do”. Walsh said the new divisions of the Western Seaboard Alliance (the wards on Cape Town’s west coast) made no sense if the aim of the City was to create “cohesive communities”. Mandy Da Matta, the chairwoman of the Table View Ratepayers’ Association, said that “there wasn’t a proper explanation
given” as to why the subcouncils needed to change. Asked about the delay in public participation, Limberg said it was only on August 11, 2016 that she had been appointed by the mayor to begin consultations on the various proposals. Limberg didn’t directly respond to GroundUp’s question on why a subcouncil had been created that was split by a highway. Instead she reiterated the DA’s motivation for the new subcouncils, explaining that a new organisational structure split the city into four districts using health district boundaries. The change in subcouncils was meant to create “integrated communities to overcome apartheid spatial planning” with “factors such as physical barriers, railways, mountains, highways, rivers, and major waterways” being taken into account, she said. Barbara Rass, councillor for ward 32 that encompasses part of Atlantis, said the new subcouncil division was “a move in the right direction” and “long overdue”, as residents had previously had to travel to Blaauwberg to attend subcouncil meetings. Now, residents would be able to hear easily what was being discussed at subcouncil meetings. Asked about the lumping together of poorer wards in the new plan, Rass said having a subcouncil in Atlantis would improve investment in the area. The DA’s proposal for the subcouncil changes to ward 1 states that Atlantis is a poor community that needs a subcouncil, as in the past it has been serviced from Milnerton. Planned developments such as Wescape are also listed as opportunities to create an integrated community of “poor and rich with industrial and farmlands”. But Leon Alhadeff, a Table View resident whose opposition to the new subcouncil boundaries garnered 780 votes in an online petition, wrote that if the proposal was put into action it “will see specific neighbourhoods split down the middle between two different subcouncils with differing priorities, budgets, designs, concepts, management teams, management styles and with differing service delivery levels” —Ashleigh Furlong, GROUNDUP.
bafundi base Dunoon Primary School bazakuqalisa unyaka omtsha kwisikolo esitsha kraca emva kokuba iSebe leMfundo nelo Lothutho noLwakhiwo lithe lanikezela esisisakhiwo ngokusesikweni ngomhla wama 30 kuNovemba. Esisikolo sikumgangatho ophezulu kakhulu kwaye sitye ipokotho yomrhafu wetekisi umyinge oqikelelwa kwizigidi ezingama 58. “Ndiyavuya ukwazisa ukuba imfundo noqeqesho lizakuqala kwesisakhiwo sihle kangaka ngoJanuwari ka 2017. Ulwakhiwo luqale ngowe 2014 ngoFebruwari lwaze lwaqukunjelwa ngoMay ka 2016.Ubambezeleko ekunikezelweni kwesisakhiwo kubangwe yingxaki yothutho lwamanzi ngemibhobho ephantsi komhlaba. Lonto ibibangela amagumbi angasese angagungxuleki kakuhle kodwa yonke into ilungile ngoku. Amagosa ethu asebenzile eqinisekisa ukuba yonke
into isemgangathweni,” utshilo u Debbie Schäfer ongumphathiswa wemfundo ephondweni leNtshona Koloni. USchäfer uthi ukwakhiwa kwesisikolo kufune intsebeziswano enkulu phakathi kwesebe lakhe nelo lezothutho nolwakhiwo njengoko bebevisisana nemigomo ye Accelerated Schools Infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI). Esisikolo sinamgumbi angama 31, iiklasi ezintathu zika Grade R , ezine zobuchwephetsha , icandelo lolawulo (administration block) , ikhitshi lokondla abantwana, iklasi yecomputer, ubhazabhaza weholo kunye nebala lemidlalo. Ngethuba kusakhiwa apha abafundi nootishala bebengxunngxe kumagumbi ethutyana. Kwinyanga ka Oktobha ootishala, abantwana nabazali bakhalazele iimeko ezimandundu kulendawo yesingxungxo ngelifaka uxinezelelo kurhulumente ukuba akhawulezise.

ISOLABANTU | DECEMBER 2016 “Yintoni etshintshileyo emav kokuba ithango le iBerlin Wall iwile?” ubuzile engalinde mpendulo. UKüey ubonise ukuba ngowe 1989 kwakukho iindonga ezingama 16 kuphela ezohlule iintlanga nezizwana kodwa ngoku ngowe 2015 elonani linyuke laya kuthi ga ku 67. “Isiqingatha samazwe sakha iindonga sikhusela imida yazo,” utshilo esongeza ngelokuba ulwakhiwo olunje lukhulisa uloyiko nentiyo. UKüey uthe “isifo seendonga yemida” yinto ekhulayo kwaye isasaza ucalulcalulo njengoko abo bangaphandle komda beziva bengamakheswa nabaphambukeli abacekisekayo. “Kwiminyaka ezayo, ndinoloyiko, ininzi
imbandezelo ezayo ngenxa yeziindonga zemida,” utshilo. UKüey uthi ubuhlanga benkulungwane yeshumi elinesithoba baqulunqwa ngobuchwepheshe obabusekelwe ekuthezeni kwamandla eentlanga zezo zinobunganga. Kubuhlungu ukuvakalisa ukuba ezo ngcinga zisekho nanamhlanje. Umzekelo ngowe 2014 uNicholas Wade wabhala incwadi ethi ezinye iintlanga zidalelwe ukuba zibe ngcono kunezinye.

Ootishala abavumi ngo 20% kwizibalo
U
mpoposho osasazwe liSebe Lemfundo Yamaqalela (Department of Basic Education) okanye iDBE ngamafutshane uchaza ukuba abafundi bamabakala uGrade 7, 8 okanye 9 abakhe ngaphantsi ko 40% kuvavanyo lwezibalo kufuneka banyuselwe ukuba bafumene u20% nangaphezulwana. Oku kuthetha ukuthi ababafundi bazakunyuselwa nangona benze kakubi nje -nto leyo ibangele isikroko kubathandi bemfundo. Abafundi bakwa Grade 9 abaphumelele ngoluhlobo luchazwe ngentla abasayi kuvunyelwa baqhubeka nezifundo zobalo kwibanga elingentla oko bayakavunyelwa benze imaths literacy. “Silungiselela abantwana ukuba bangabi nampumelelo ebomini babo,” itshilo enye itishala ethethe nathi ifuna lingavezwa igama layo isoyikisela isonka sayo. Lomhlohli uhambisa athi: “Ngoku sinyusela abantwana kodwa abanawo tu umqondo woko bebekufunda. Abanye babo abasayi kugqiba ukufunda ngenxa yoxinezelelo. Ayikho ntle tu imeko esibabeka kuyo, ewe kona akukho mnandi xa umntwana exelelwa ukuba utshonile kodwa kumele kubenjala xa engaqondi. Bayakunyuselwa oko ze inkal’ixinge etyeni kwa Grade 10.” Enye inqununu esithethe nayo ithi
bekungangcono ukuba abaabfundi bebenikwa uncedo oluthe xha kwezizifundo bangasuki banyuselwe nje. Okunye ihambisa ithi lompoposho uzakubangela ababantwana basokolel ngakumbi kwibakala elilandelayo.Nangona engavumelani nalompoposho uthi kuza kunyanzeleka ukuba bawuthobele njengeenqununu. Lenqununu ithi ixhalabile kuba abafundi bavuyiswa nje kukunyuselwa kodwa bengayiqondi ingxaki abafakwe kuyo abasayi kuphinda bakwazi ukuzimisela emsebenzini wabo. Umpoposhe we DBE okhutshwe ngeo December 5 the esisibhengezo masithathwe njengento engxamisekileyo emva kokuba kuvele iingxelo zokuba ezikolo zasezilokishini ziyabethekala ekuvezeni iziphumo ezincumisayo.

Dibana nebhungana lekansile elitsha kraca E mva kolwabiwo ngokutsha kwemida uceba we DA uCynthia Clayton wanyulwe wangusihlalo webhungana elibizwa ngokuba ngu SubCouncil 1. Ukusekwa kwamabhungana kubone kuphunguka inani lamabhunga akwa Sub Council 1 abe fudula ebandakanya iindawo ezifana ne Milnerton, Table View, Melkbosstrand, Dunoon, Parklands kunye ne Atlantis. Ngoku elibhungana lizakujongana nelikhaya lalo lise Atlantis, lizakuba kuqwalasela iingxaki zabemi base Melkbosstrand, Dunoon nase Milnerton. Isolabantu News lidlene indlebe no Clayton ominyaka ingama 36 ezinze e-Atlantis. Usixelele ukuba uqale ukusebenza njengoceba ngowe 2009 enguthunywashe embuthweni (PR) ongasekhoyo ngoku i-Independent Democrats (ID). Emva kokuba eliqela laginywa nguhobolozela we DA ngowe 2009, uClayton wakhankasa njengomgqatswa we DA kuvoto lwasekuhlaleni ngowe 2011 waze waphumelela. Uphindile kulonyaka wonyulelwa kwakwesositulo ngo Agasti 3 kulonyaka, ngoLwesibini wonyulwe njengosihlalo webhunga elitsha emva kokuba usihlalo obeke phantsi uHeather Brenner exhome itawuli. Phambi kokuba angene ipolitiki, uClayton
wayengumzalisi ophume iimbambo kwaye ewuthanda giqtha umsebenzi wobongikazi. Ngowe 1983 waba ngunesi wokuqala olikhaladi eMzantsi Afrika ukuqeqeshellwa uhlobo oluthile lokutsala igazi kwizigulane (Phlebotomists). Kuleminyaka idlulileyo ebengusihlalo we komiti yezempilo. “Ndingumongikazi nangoku, kuba xa ukhe wanesa ayiphumi egazini kodwa ndixinwe yipolitike ngoku,” uqhayisa nguncomo olugoso. Echaza banzi ngembono zakhe, uthi ufuna impumelelo kwaye uzakusebenzisana kakhulu namagosa esixeko, ikomiti zoluntu neminye imibutho ekho ekuhlaleni. “Kudala sikhathazeka ngumgama ebesiwuhamba ukuya eBlaauwberg SubCouncil kwintlanganiso zeveki sifuna impilo engcono kubantu bethu,”uClayton utsho. Uthi uzakusebenzisa isihlalo sakhe ukuze azise iinkonzo kufuphi noluntu lwendawo yakhe.Ngoko mzekelo uthi uzakuvula indawo yabasebenzi bakamaspala apho abaqeshwa bezakusebenzela khona. Uthi kuza kulwisana nencitha xesha eyenzekayo ngoku evela ngokufuneka kulindwe amagosa asuka kwindawo ezifana nomaKapa no Blauwberg. Utyityimbisele izigila mkhuba iminwe esithi uzakusebenzisana noonqawayiphuzwa ukuba bacoce lelokishina ziphele tu

Dunoon primary school built at a cost of R58m opens in 2017 D
Fed up with an environment not conducive to teaching and learning, DPS teachers toyi-toyed and shut down the school in October.
unoon Primary School pupils will start the 2017 academic year in a brand new school, thanks to the Department of Transport and Public Works (DTPW) who officially handed over the school to the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) on Wednesday, November 30. The new primary school was built at a cost of R58million. “I am pleased to announce that the learners will officially commence the 2017 academic year in the brand new school building. The construction of the new school commenced in February 2014 and construction was completed in May 2016. There was, however, a delay in handing over the school to the client (WCED) as the water pressure in the area was insufficient to operate the fire hydrants and ablution facilities. Clearly we could not have allowed people to occupy a building under such circumstances. Our officials worked around the clock to assist the CoCT
to restore the necessary water pressure to the school,” said Debbie Schäfer, Education MEC in the Western Cape. Schäfer said the building of the new school required the participation and co-operation of the WCED and DTPW, and formed part of the Accelerated Schools Infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI). The new school boasts: 31 new classrooms; 3 grade R classrooms; 4 specialist rooms; an administration block; a feeding kitchen; a computer room; a multipurpose school hall; library, and a sportsfield.
During construction of the new school, pupils and teachers were temporarily accommodated

SPORT SAFA: No Truth To De Sa, Bafana Link
S
outh African Football Association CEO Dennis Mumble has quashed rumours linking Roger de Sa to the
Bafana Bafana coaching job. The former Ajax Cape Town coach has been linked with the national team job, but Mumble insists the position is not vacant. “In normal circumstances, I would not even want to respond to such speculation but for the sake of football loving fans would like to put the record straight by unequivocally dismissing such rumours,” Mumble said in a press release. “People must understand there is a process which is underway and must await its conclusive outcome. “No one must speculate or anticipate any outcome of this matter and no one must generate expectation around the position of Bafana Bafana coach because the post is not vacant.” The speculation regarding the Bafana post came in the wake of Shakes Mashaba’s suspension as head coach. —Soccer Laduma
Khan Drawing Closer To Chiefs Move?
F
ormer Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach, Farouk Khan, seems to be edging closer to reuniting with the club as Head of Youth in the coming months. The Siya crew has previously reported that Khan – who spent five-and-a-half years at Naturena between 1997 and 2002 – is the club’s first choice to take over their youth setup, with the coach’s youth academy, Stars of Africa, developing players such as Tokelo Rantie, Tefu Mashamaite and more over the years. Back in November, Khan told the crew, “Yes, I have had talks with them, but I’m
still awaiting confirmation on their final decision. So far there has been no feedback.” Now, however, as reported in this week’s issue of Soccer Laduma, the coach is believed to have had another meeting with Chiefs over a possible return to Naturena, with his previous experience there making him an ideal candidate that already knows ‘tThe Chiefs way’. The crew contacted Chiefs’ communications manager, Vina Maphosa, and asked for updates on Khan’s situation, although no response was given—Soccer Laduma.
