Dunoon MyCiTi bus stations V turned into furniture shops

PETER LUHANGA

andalised MyCiTi bus facilities are being used as storefronts for secondhand furniture sellers in Dunoon.

The glass panels of MyCiTi bus stations along Potsdam Road were smashed by residents protesting over access to land for housing in February. They were targeted again in March when the Dunoon sports field was illegally occupied.

The bus stations have still not been repaired and remain surrounded by barbed wire.

BLUEPRINT 2476/E

Assaults on the rise in Milnerton Staff Reporter In the three-month period leading up to December, the number of assault cases in Milnerton have become a cause of concern.

“Of these, the majority occur within the home and work environment and are therefore not preventable from a visible policing point of view,” said police spokesperson Nopaya Madyibi.

Of further concern is that almost half were related to incidents of domestic violence. Madyibi said more than 150 people have been charged, while others are being sought.

“This situation is particularly alarming given the fact we are in the midst of the 16 days of activism regarding violence against women and children,” said Milnerton station commander Marius Stander.

Stander said offenders must realise that police are following a strict zerotolerance approach to these offences.

“In many of these cases, the motivations for the assaults are trivial disagreements that could easily have been resolved without violence. When we inevitably catch up with them, they will be charged, and have criminal records which can seriously affect their future employment or travel prospects,” said Madyibi.

Man arrested with 3kg tik Staff Reporter A 36-year-old man from Mitchells Plain was arrested in Sunningdale on 7 December for possession of crystal methamphetamine, also known as tik.

During a late afternoon patrol, police officers from Table View police station who were on duty in Sunningdale, noticed suspicious activity between two men in the parking area of a retail shopping centre.

Table View police spokesperson Adriana Chandlee said officers saw one of the men removing a large bag from the back seat of the vehicle and then walking toward the shopping centre.

The police followed him and he was apprehended and searched shortly before entering one of the stores. The officers found three smaller bags containing tik inside the large bag he was carrying.

The vehicle outside vanished before it could be searched.

The nearly 3kg of tik weighed at the police station had an estimated street value of R90 000. When the suspect’s fingerprints were taken, it was discovered he was wanted in relation to a drug dealing case in Lentegeur from 2015.

The suspect appeared in the Cape Town Magistrates Court on 10 December on charges of possession and dealing in drugs.

DON’T GO OVERBOARD WHEN LOADING. Our country’s roads are used by almost everyone on a daily basis.

Overloading your trailer, taxi or truck and exceeding the maximum height of goods on any vehicle not only causes damage to our road network and bridges, but it also contributes to the serious problem of maintaining road safety in our country.

At SANRAL, we believe it is important for you, as a motorist, to know the capacity of your vehicle. It goes a long way in getting the best from it and more importantly, out of South Africa’s road network. In the interests of other roads users, your business and our road network, please do not overload.

Dunoon MyCiTi bus stations turned into furniture shops From page 1 The bus stations will not be repaired anytime soon. In the meantime, residents seeking to use the bus service have to walk several kilometres to get to the MyCiTi bus depot at Stables.

“It must be noted that there is ongoing unrest in the area which has resulted in the repeated damage and vandalism of these stations. The city is looking at alternative designs/materials to make the stations more robust and vandal-resistant. These designs/materials have yet to be approved,” said mayco member for transport and urban development Felicity Purchase.

Purchase said the city spent millions

of rands fixing and replacing vandalised infrastructure each year.

“Money and resources that could have been spent elsewhere, for example on improving service delivery, often have to be used to repair this needless damage. Our insurance covers damage as a result of vandalism. However, due to the repeated vandalism to these facilities, the insurance company has advised that this will be the last time they will pay for damage to these facilities,” she said.

Kwanele Jezile from MyDunoon youth nonprofit organisation condemned the use of violence to seek municipal services.

“Even though people will justify that vandalism is the only way the government listens, it doesn’t make sense. You

cannot destroy what you have to get what you don’t have,” said Jezile.

Whoever is driving past Dunoon, seeing the vandalised MyCiTi bus stations meant to serve Dunoon residents and vandalised by themselves, it says a lot about people living in Dunoon.”

Meanwhile, local entrepreneur Themba Gqwede, 43, is making use of the vandalised infrastructure to display his second-hand furniture, including beds.

“I don’t like the use of violence to get services. I am just using the MyCiTi stations for now, if the city wants to utilise them I’ll take away my stock,” said Gqwede.

He supports his wife and his four children through his business.

Iintsapho kumele ziphose iliso elibukhali ebantwaneni bazo ngelithuba leeholide zehlobo, esi sisilumkiso esenziwa ngumphathiswa wentlalontle eNtshona Koloni uMnu Albert Fritz.

Nokuba kuselwandle okanye kukwiziyunguma zekhaya, okanye ekuthengweni ezivenkileni, unyuko zintaba njalo njalo ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwabantwa yinto esemqoka kakhulu uhambisa atsho loka Fritz.

“Ngethuba leeholide zika Disemba , sifumana iingxelo ezininzi zokulahleka kwabantwana bambi beshiywa ngabom. Abazali bacetyiswa ukuba bathathe ingqalelo enkulu,”uFritz.

Olu luxanduva lwabazali nabo bajonge ukhuseleko lwa bantwana. Umntwana kumele aqeqeshwe ukuba asoloko ewavalile amasango endlu, bangavumeli namnye umntu abangamaziyo emakhayeni abo xa abazali bengekho.

Akukho sizathu sokuxhaphaza abafazi, batsho abadidiyeli bebhiya ethandwayo Iphulo le Carling Black Label elibizwa ngokuba yi #NoExcuse , limemelela ukuba amadoda abe zintshatsheli ezilwisana nokuxhatshazwa kwabasethyini nengcinezelo engokwesini.

Liphehlelelwe ngowe 2017, eliphulo lixhasa umgushuzo obanjwa ehlabathini lonke obizwa ngokuba yi 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children eqala ngomhla wama 25 ku November iye kuthi ga ngowe 10 ku December. Ngo Mvulo umhla we 3 ku December,uMnu Grant Pereira, ongumphathi olawulayo kwa Carling Black Label, utyelele eleNtshona Koloni eze kuseka eliphulo kweliphondo.

“Eliphulo ngumgushuzo oqalwe sithi kuba sifuna amadoda enze kakuhle. Kuye kwafuneka senze okuthile kuba, kufuneke sithethe ngokunxamnye nobundlobongela obuchaphazela abesimama, sivuselele umoya wokuba zintshatsheli kumlo wokuqubisana nobundlobongela. Okwesibini kukubethelela ingcamango yokusela utywala ngendlela endilisekileyo, sitsho ngokuphandle ukuba akukho nasiphina isizathu sokuba amadoda mawaphakamise isandla okanye anxile ngendlela egqithe emgceni.

Sifuna ukubona indoda engumzekelo ekuphatheni abafazi nasekuseleni ngondiliseko,” uPereira utshilo.

Uthe eliphulo lizama ukuvusa ingxoxo malunga nomcimbi wamadoda athi asakunxila aqalise ngokuveza isandla esigadalala emabhinqeni.

“Inyaniso kukuba izigidi ngezigidi zamadoda nabafazi zisebenzisa iziselo zethu kodwa likhona igcuntswana kubo elithi lithande ukurhawuzelelwa zizandla xa linxilile.

Sithi kwabo benza njalo mabayeke kuba ixesha loko lidlule. Singenza onke lamatile tiletile asoze siphumelele ukuba indoda nganye ayithathi ngqalelo -linye elethu lelokuba akukho sizathu sokuxhaphaza qwaba,” utshilo.

Uqhabalake eqhayisa ngelokuba isiselo se Carling Black Label sesona sithandwayo ngabemi base Mzansi kwaye bayazingca ngelokuba idlale indima kweliphulo.

“Ukuba simele okulungileyo emadodeni kumele sivakalise inkxaso enkulu kumaphulo anje, sivakalise ngokungafihlisiyo ukuba ubundlobongela ngokunxamnye nabafazi abunandawo. Kumele sidale iintshatsheli ekuhlaleni ngokuthi onke amadoda asasaze lomyalezo,” uPerreira uqukumbele ngelitshoyo.

Relaxed water restrictions but water-wise usage must continue Staff Reporter Although Cape Town dam levels were at 69,5 % of storage capacity on Monday 10 December compared to 34,3% at the same time last year, the city is urging residents to remain keep using water sparingly.

The city said average water consumption was at 541 million litres per day over the past week, which is well within the Level 3 usage range of 650 million litres of collective usage per day.

New Cape Town mayor Dan Plato announced on 29 November that Cape Town water restrictions have been relaxed from level 5 to level 3, allowing Capetonians to use 105l per person per day. This is 50% more water than previously allowed.

Level 3 recovery restrictions give some rates relief to residents and business, but the city still asks that Capetonians remain water wise as it is difficult to predict the rainfall Cape Town will receive in 2019 and 2020.

West Coast College honours student representatives

Exams are over and as the 2018 academic year draws to an end, West Coast College has awarded the top performing Student Representative Councils (SRCs) at its various campuses.

Following the SRCs presenting their progress for the year, which included an account of all the money they managed to raise and how it was spent, West Coast College awarded the top performing SRC per campus.

In third place was the Citrusdal SRC, with Vredenburg coming in second. The best performing campus was Vredendal, who generated over R7,00 towards student activities and contributions to the student bursary fund. They presented a range of activities throughout the year which went a long way to improving student life.

All SRC members received certificates of participation which they can use in their curriculum vitaes as they demonstrate their leadership and organisational capabilities. But there was one person who stood out. The top SRC member for 2018 was awarded to Sifiso Mabaso from the Vredenburg Campus.

The college acknowledges and values its SRCs, as each campus has SRC representatives who manages student affairs.

The West Coast College SRC executive is made up of the chairpersons of each campus SRC. The chairperson and vicechairperson of the SRC executive represents students on the College Council.

Every year an extensive leadership development programme is implemented to assist the SRC to fulfil its role and responsibilities as the mouthpiece for the student community. The SRC also assists Student Support Officers to arrange various campus activities that include sport, recreation and cultural events, talent shows, and community outreach projects.

From the management of staff of West Coast College: Congratulations to all the winners!

ATLANTIS HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS A SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE (SEZ) The zone is projected to create more than 1 400 jobs in Atlantis in the short to medium term. Statistics indicate that there is a shortage of local skilled artisans in the West Coast region. This is the ideal opportunity to equip yourself with the necessary skills and competencies so that you can become part of this exciting new venture!

Dunoon soccer stars get their crowns

DAVID ROSSOUW Trophies were handed over to the winners of the various Dunoon Local Football Association leagues during a special awards ceremony at the Dunoon sportsground on Saturday 24 November.

The players in all the leagues played outstanding football, said association chair Amos Siwayi. This was despite the rough fields made worse by the lack of water due to drought-induced restrictions. Siwayi also paid tribute to the excellent work done by the association’s executives.

The Real Brazilians took home the trophy for the under 12 division, with the IX attackers taking gold for the under 14s.

In the under 16 and under 18 divisions, Pioneer Soccer Club and Spice 4 Life were crowned the champions respectively, while Pioneer also lifted the half-metre high gold cup in the senior division. Pioneer, who participated in the SAFA Cape Town SAB playoffs in October, were narrowly only beaten by Crystal Palace FC. But Siwayi praised the team for their achievements in their first every playoff.

He said if it wasn’t for a weaker goal average, Dunoon Local Football Associa-

tion would have had their second team in the SAB league after Lenovo FC, who recently joined the assocation.

“With this kind of football performance, it shows that no drought or water restrictions will keep us away from promoting football for our players, and especially for the youth.”

With the football season coming to its close, the Dunoon LFA is expected to elect a new executive to serve for the next two years.

Siwayi didn’t forget to thank the players’ families and fans for supporting the teams during his tenure at the LFA.

“To the supporters and family members who came out and supported our teams on Saturdays and Sundays, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the contributions and sacrifices you have made.

“Lastly, to our football legends, without your guidance and involvement, we wouldn’t succeed in our striving for success. And to all the clubs, take time off to spend with your family over the festive season and we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year,” said Siwayi.
