Introduction The author has been appointed by K2013204008 (Pty) Ltd, the owner of Erven 391 and 392 Fresnaye, to make application for the total demolition of these two semi-detached houses. Since the building, which contains fabric dating back to c1890, is older than 60 years, a permit is required from Heritage Western Cape in terms of Section 34(1) of the National Heritage Resources Act (25 of 1999). It is proposed to redevelop the site and utilise the development opportunities offered by its strategic location and its General Business GB5 zoning, with a floor factor of 4.0 and permissible height of 25m. 2. Location and Context The site’s location is shown on the aerial photo on the next page. It is situated at No 17 and 19 Kloof Road, on its corner with Gorleston Road, Sea Point. To the north of the site are the 1980s Nedbank Centre, including a Nedbank branch and Dynasty Chinese Restaurant. Further north is the 7-storey Sea Point Medical Centre. To the east is Monreve, a 1930s, three-storey Early-Modern block of flats. To the south, opposite Gorleston Road, is the c1970 Marian Heights, a contemporary, 11- storey block of flats. To the west, opposite Kloof Road, is the three-storey, 1926 Sea Point Fire Station, which replaced the earlier Round Church, located in the fork in Main Road. The site is not located in a Heritage Protection Overlay Zone (HPOZ) in terms of the City of Cape Town’s zoning scheme. Kloof Street is identified as an Activity Route in the City’s Table Bay District Plan and along this route, considerable densification has occurred and is still taking place. Further up the hill, away from Kloof Road, finer-grained residential neighbourhoods still exist and historic villas can be found. The subject site’s urban context can be seen on the photographs below. Panoramic view of Kloof Road from the Sea Point Fire Station, showing the street context. A Nedbank branch is located to the left of the subject site and Gorleston Road is at the centre of the photograph.

Historical Background 3.1 Brief development history of Sea Point Some of the first settlers in the Sea Point area were the Le Sueuer family from France. Francois le Seuer arrived in 1739 as advisor to Cape Governor Hendrik Swellengrebel. The family’s Cape estate, Winterslust, originally covered 200 acres on the slopes of Signal Hill. The estate was later named Fresnaye. In 1776, one of the commanders serving under Captain Cook, Sam Wallis, encamped his men in the area to avoid a smallpox epidemic which was sweeping through Cape Town at the time. 1 By 1770 a road on the same alignment as the present Main Road already existed, including the fork in the road, now Kloof Road and Regent Road2. By 1814 the whole area extending beyond the present day Boundary Road, even as far as Clifton, was known as Green Point. 3 By 1838 the inhabitants of Green Point (including Sea Point) had risen to about 300. A move to include this area in the proposed Cape Town Municipal area in 1839 met with considerable opposition from the inhabitants who succeeded instead in forming their own Municipality of Sea Point and Green Point that same year. By the 1860's the population had risen to 700. A start was made on the Breakwater, a new hospital was built and Sea Point became the terminus of the first tram cars in the Peninsula. Water was led from the glen above Camps Bay into a reservoir above Botany, thus opening up the area for future development. The 1875 census indicated that municipality had a population of 1 425. An 1891 map of the proposed sewerage scheme for the area shows about 100 buildings in Green Point, 200 in Sea Point and 35 in Mouille Point. The opening of the Alfred Dock in 1870, the discovery of diamonds in Kimberley and gold at the Rand greatly stimulated Cape Town’s development and land near the harbour became sought-after. Green Point accommodated more modest, higher density housing, while larger properties were located in Sea Point and Bantry Bay, catering for the better-off. This created a need for public transport to supplement the horse-drawn omnibus and tram system.4 The Sea Point tramline, which was operational since 1862, ran along Main/Regent Road. In 1896, the horsedrawn network was converted to an electrical operation. From 1935, it was gradually replaced by trolleybuses, also known as ‘trackless trams” and later by buses. Another network, opened in 1901, was an interurban tramway linking Burnside Road in Cape Town with Camps Bay and Sea Point via Kloof Nek. It was powered by electricity, and was in operation until 1930. After number of false starts, the first railway line connecting Cape Town to Sea Point was opened by the Metropolitan and Suburban Railway Company in 1892. 5The Sea Point portion ran along what today is Beach road. The 1902 Sea Point Municipal Survey indicates that the line was placed seaward and essentially parallel to Beach Road. A second line was opened in 1905. The South African Railways had taken over operations from the City, and the line was served by five Sea Point stations. 6 1 http://www.sahistory.org.za/places/sea-point 2 Todeschini & Japha, 1989, Green Point and Sea Point Conservation Study, p12 3 Sims, JM, 1997, History of Mapping in the Cape Peninsula, Cape Technikon, mss. pp. 21-33. He notes that the name Sea Point was not widely used until 1910 and then applied only to a private estate that extended roughly from Bantry Bay to St Johns Road of today. 4 O’Donoghue, B and Büttgens, P, 2015.

The alignment necessitated the trains to slow around curves in order not to derail, and the locomotives were prone to breakdowns. In addition, the competing Tramway Company operating on Main Road started to upgrade their facilities. The Railway line was electrified in 1927, but after having run at a loss for 14 years, it was discontinued soon after. The last train ran on the 16th of April 1929. The lines were ripped up and the overhead pylons were removed.7 Eventually, in 1939, the tramway from Adderley Street to Sea Point also closed down.8 Saul Solomon, founder of the Cape Argus and MP for Cape Town, resided in Sea Point until the early 1880s and had much influence on the area’s development.9 One of Solomon’s projects, St John’s Dutch Reformed Church (the Round Church), by architect Charles Freeman and built in 1878, was located at the fork in Main Road. The unusual, round, thatched building was demolished by the City Council in 1924 and was replaced by a fire station and electricity department by architect Frederick Martinus Bongers in 1926. In 1913, Green Point and Sea Point Municipality was incorporated into that of the greater Cape Town. 10 During the latter half of the 20th C, major densification and redevelopment took place, particularly along Beach Road, Main Road, Regent Road and the eastern section of Kloof Road.

  • 1 Additional Analysis on SAPS Resourcing for Khayelitsha
    1 Additional analysis on SAPS resourcing for Khayelitsha Commission Jean Redpath 29 January 2014 1. I have perused a document labelled A3.39.1 purports to show the “granted” SAPS Resource Allocation Guides (RAGS) for 2009-2011 in respect of personnel, vehicles and computers, for the police stations of Camps Bay, Durbanville, Grassy Park, Kensington, Mitchells Plain, Muizenberg, Nyanga, Philippi and Sea Point . For 2012 the document provides data on personnel only for the same police stations. 2. I am informed that RAGS are determined by SAPS at National Level and are broadly based on population figures and crime rates. I am also informed that provincial commissioners frequently make their own resource allocations, which may be different from RAGS, based on their own information or perceptions. 3. I have perused General Tshabalala’s Task Team report which details the allocations of vehicles and personnel to the three police stations of Harare, Khayelitsha and Lingelethu West in 2012. It is unclear whether these are RAGS figures or actual figures. I have combined these figures with the RAGS figures in the document labelled A3.39.1 in the tables below. 4. I have perused documents annexed to a letter from Major General Jephta dated 13 Mary 2013 (Jephta’s letter). The first annexed document purports to show the total population in each police station for all police stations in the Western Cape (SAPS estimates). 5. Because the borders of Census enumerator areas do not coincide exactly with the borders of policing areas there may be slight discrepancies between different estimates of population size in policing areas.

  • Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010
    Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010 Julian A Jacobs (8805469) University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Prof Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie Masters Research Essay in partial fulfillment of Masters of Arts Degree in History November 2010 DECLARATION I declare that „Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010‟ is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. …………………………………… Julian Anthony Jacobs i ABSTRACT This is a study of activists from Manenberg, a township on the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South Africa and how they went about bringing change. It seeks to answer the question, how has activism changed in post-apartheid Manenberg as compared to the 1980s? The study analysed the politics of resistance in Manenberg placing it within the over arching mass defiance campaign in Greater Cape Town at the time and comparing the strategies used to mobilize residents in Manenberg in the 1980s to strategies used in the period of the 2000s. The thesis also focused on several key figures in Manenberg with a view to understanding what local conditions inspired them to activism. The use of biographies brought about a synoptic view into activists lives, their living conditions, their experiences of the apartheid regime, their brutal experience of apartheid and their resistance and strength against a system that was prepared to keep people on the outside. This study found that local living conditions motivated activism and became grounds for mobilising residents to make Manenberg a site of resistance. It was easy to mobilise residents on issues around rent increases, lack of resources, infrastructure and proper housing.

  • At the Limits of Spatial Governmentality: a Message from the Tip of Africa
    Third World Quarterly, Vol 23, No 4, pp 665–689, 2002 At the limits of spatial governmentality: a message from the tip of Africa STEVEN ROBINS ABSTRACT Urban studies scholars drawing on Foucault’s analysis of govern- mentality have investigated how urban social orders are increasingly more concerned with the management of space rather than on the discipline of offenders or the punishment of offences (Merry, 2001). This paper examines the ‘rationality’ and efficacy of spatial governmentality in post-apartheid Cape Town, and shows how the city has increasingly become a ‘fortress city’ (Davis, 1990), much like cities such as Los Angeles, Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro. These ‘global cities’ are increasingly characterised by privatised security systems in middle class suburbs, shopping malls and gated communities (Caldeira, 1999). These spatial forms of governmentality draw on sophisticated security systems comprising razor wire and electrified walls, burglar alarms and safe rooms, as well as vicious guard dogs, neighbourhood watches, private security companies, and automated surveillance cameras. On the other side of the race and class divide are urban ghettoes characterised by growing poverty and everyday violence. These socio-spatial inequalities continue to be reproduced despite urban planning initiatives aimed at desegregating the apartheid city. Although the media and the middle classes highlight the dangers of crime and violence, they tend to ignore the structures of inequality that fuel the growth of crime syndicates and violent drug economies that are reproducing these urban governance crises. Given the diminished resources of the neo-liberal state, the policing of middle class residential and business districts is increasingly being ‘outsourced’ to private security companies.

  • A History of the Ottery School of Industries in Cape Town: Issues of Race, Welfare and Social Order in the Period 1937 to 1968
    University of the Western Cape Faculty of Education A History of the Ottery School of Industries in Cape Town: Issues of Race, Welfare and Social Order in the period 1937 to 1968 By Nur-Mohammed Azeem Badroodien A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Education, University of the Western Cape March 2001 2 Abstract The primary task of this thesis is to explain the establishment of the ‘correctional institution’, the Ottery School of Industries, in Cape Town in 1948 and the programmes of rehabilitation, correctional and vocational training and residential care that the institution developed in the period until 1968. This explanation is located in the wider context of debates about welfare and penal policy in South Africa. The overall purpose is to show how modernist discourses in relation to social welfare, delinquency, and education came to South Africa and was mediated through a racial lens unique to this country. In so doing the thesis uses a broad range of material and levels of analysis from the ethnographic to the documentary and historical. The work seeks to locate itself at the intersection of the fields of education, history, welfare, penality and race in South Africa. The unique contribution of the study lies in the ways in which it engages with the nature of welfare institutions that took the form of Schools of Industries in the apartheid period. The thesis asserts that the motivation for the development of the institution under apartheid was not just the extension of crude apartheid policy, but was also inspired by welfarist and humanitarian goals.
