Ikhaya Lemidlalo-Anthony Julies and Pillay Mati
Today on Backchat we were joined in studio by Anthony Julies, the service coordinator for the Sport, Recreation and Amenities Council for the City of Cape Town and Pillay Mati. Anthony and Pillay spoke to us about the launch of the Ikhaya Lemidlalo sport for development program on Tuesday, June 16. The programme is the outcome of an agreement between the Principality of Monaco and the United National Development Programme, which has contracted Glocal Forum (an NGO based in Rome) to partner with the City in implementing it. It involves training unemployed youths (18 to 25 years) in Gugulethu to mentor and train younger children, using sport as a tool. For more information you may contact Anthony on 021 400 2231.
Problem Strategy Building- Alderman Brian Watkyns
We also played an interview done by Emory University intern, Darah Prota’s. Darah spoke to Alderman Brian Watkyns, the Chairperson of the Planning and Environment Portfolio Committee (Pepco) for the City of Cape Town. Alderman Watkyns spoke to us about the City’s pilot implementation of the Problem Building Strategy. The Strategy clearly defines problem buildings as structures and erven which appear to be abandoned, derelict in appearance, overcrowded and in a deplorable state or which pose a serious health or safety risk to the natural or built environment. These buildings are often unsightly, unhealthy and unsafe and being used for anti-social and criminal activities. For more information visit http://www.capetown.gov.za/
