A letter from Cape Town: Post Covid-19 fears and hopes Former Plettenberg Bay resident and retired urban designer ALASTAIR GRANT shares sentiments that transcend the general doom-and-gloom norm of pandemic musings believe that life will never return to normal - whatever that means - and in some ways it will be for the good. There is a fair chance that the economy will be of a different shape (see the Doughnut economic model with nine ecological ceilings pictured at right - find out more at www.cxpress. co.za), more diverse, inclusive and sharing.

Young entrepreneurs will find new opportunities to make a living and thrive. They will be involved in some things we could never have imagined. Recreational activities will adapt.

Tennis, athletics, cycling, equestrian

I

events, aquatic activities, and golf will have few difficulties, but rugby and football matches will face challenges to survive as spectator sports.

I fear for the risks of social unrest and the difficulties of making the necessary changes. I worry about the restrictions on gathering which our children and grandchildren may have to endure for years.

The world economy could be nothing like it was BC19 and the balance of power may change. Jobs will be scarce for unskilled people. There will likely be more poverty and all that goes with it.

Crowded and poorly-heated homes will continue to be commonplace. Air travel will be much curtailed, and social life may be restricted to small local gatherings, while big events may rarely occur.

It is sad, during lockdown, to hear of cancelled weddings - now a worldwide occurrence - but this will pass. Theatres and orchestral performances, as we know them, may not survive.

I hope our children and grandchildren will enjoy something like the life I enjoyed before plastic was invented and we went to school on bicycles, when classrooms were uncrowded with less than 30 children each.

When we could leave the front door open and the back door was seldom closed. The

post was efficiently sorted and delivered daily.

The railways then played an important role in our lives and air travel was in its infancy.

We had one annual holiday and often camped out under a tent, while the wealthy had once-in-a-lifetime overseas voyages, by mail ship.

Many homes then had vegetable gardens and a chicken run. The cockerels woke us at dawn. We shopped at a nearby grocery and bought fresh produce (wrapped in brown paper) which could be ordered by phone.

Milk in bottles was delivered daily. We never went to restaurants but, when Moth-

er shopped in town, she sometimes visited a tea-room to meet a few friends. In school holidays we sometimes went with her.

I think that in many cities, activities will be decentralised, and populations will disperse to little smallholdings in rural areas, just as they now do in Zimbabwe. Town centres may no longer provide much livelihood.

Some regions offer more potential for self-sufficiency than others. The Eastern Cape Province, for example, has greater potential for a sustainable lifestyle and food security than the Western and Northern Cape put together, because there is so much more Class 1 agricultural land (classification being determined by soil quality and rainfall).

It is inevitable that electricity will be produced from renewable resources; that producers will be smaller and more widely distributed, providing energy where it’s needed, as can be seen in France, which boasts more than 55 nuclear power plants, wind farms galore, and numerous small hydroelectric power-stations in the mountainous regions. (The French population is only a little greater than South Africa’s.)

The pandemic has given us time to think and review what we have been doing. It is a terrible shock, but some good will come of it.

The Garden Route is the perfect place to become part of the ‘butterfly people’…

A butterfly landed on a little girl’s nose during lockdown - and that was the start of a fascination with butterflies that has now developed into yet another hobby for her grandfather, CHRIS VAN GASS OUTH Africa has between 700 and 800 species of butterflies, and the Plettenberg Bay area boasts its own little gems.

It just takes a walk around the garden to uncover beauties such as the Painted Lady, Blue Pansy, Garden Inspector, Yellow Pansy, and Common Diadem…

Butterflies are generally a ‘man’ thing, with lepidopterists (or butterfly fundis) historically, mostly being male. Perhaps it is because of this that these insects - which can hear, see, smell and taste - have such interesting and pretty names.

Kevin Cockburn, a member of the Lepidopterists’ Society of Africa, says while many scientists are involved in the society, there are large numbers of amateurs who make up the organisation.

“Like birdwatching, butterfly-watchers have created life-lists of the species they have seen. There is also a move to keeping ‘lockdown lists’ and those bitten by the bug range from amateurs, to actual lepidopterists who still collect species in the ‘old way’ - armed with butterfly net and field equipment.

“Digital photography has changed the hobby. It is much easier now to take a photograph for purposes of identification, than trying to guess from a mere fly-past what you have seen.

“But the frustration is still there when you line up your subject and it flits away…

S

which is when it becomes a ‘Bloody Mary’,” says Cockburn.

Watching and identifying butterflies and recording the sightings and pooling knowledge can also help with citizen science to gain more information about their habitats and movements, and the influence, if any, caused by climate change.

David Edge, who has been instrumental in conserving the rare Brenton Blue butterfly near Knysna, says butterflies are a good indicator of the health of the environment and, as a hobby can be as satisfying, if not more so, than birdwatching or fishing.

“They will lure you into their world of fascinating beauty. Butterfly people are obsessed when chasing a new species, charging around with nets in hand. Often, they don’t look on the ground and fall flat on their faces.

“But these are experiences we can always laugh about afterwards,” he chuckles.

Visit www.lepsoc.org.za to learn more.

• A new trend, in which females appear to have made their mark is through the Caterpillar Rearing Group (CRG). Moth species outnumber butterfly species in South Africa by about 10-1. The rearing group, pioneered by Hermann Staude, take caterpillars from their perches and, like silkworms in one’s youth, are fed and studied through their life-cycle, until they turn into moths. But that’s another story...

Plett police, provincial Health, and Bitou’s C-19 response team tackle new virus case

CXPRESS staff reporter

N Monday morning, social media was abuzz with reports and images of the main police station in Plettenberg Bay being closed, with some reports claiming that this was also the case at the KwaNokuthula station.

One of the photos doing the rounds was accompanied by a caption referring to the station’s main entrance closed with “hazard tape”. Its author further alleged that someone suspected of being infected with Covid-19 entered the station on Sunday night.

“One police [sic] tested positive for Covid-19. All officers from this station on quarantine awaiting their results,” according to the message that was passed on to members of numerous private as well as C19-specific WhatsApp groups.

Speculation around Bitou and beyond included claims that the infected SAPS member hailed from Knysna, while other sources said it was a Plett officer who contracted the virus while on duty at the Tsitsikamma Toll Gate - the latter an assertion confirmed on local electronic media platforms.

Setting the record straight on Monday afternoon was leader of the Bitou Covid-19 response team, Dr Nicola Whiteman, who said that Western Cape Health department representatives had attended a meeting at Plett police station to ascertain the best way forward.

“The police station was decontaminated and has since reopened. The positive case is being isolated and all contact tracing has been done,” explained Dr

promised nor impeded at all, and operations and assistance were conducted as normal,” captain Pojie said.

PRECAUTIONARY AND PROACTIVE: This photo shared far and wide shows Plett police station’s main entrance taped up while decontamination took place; during that time, the public was directed to service offices at the back of the precinct that served as temporary charge office

Whiteman, adding that all community safety and traffic officials were due to be screened during the course of Tuesday morning.

Said SAPS Southern Cape spokesman captain Malcolm Pojie: “The police station at Plettenberg Bay was never closed, and services were conducted as per usual.

“However, the Community Service Centre (also known as the charge office) was temporally moved to the support offices at the back of the police station, while the Service Centre was decontaminated as a precautionary and proactive measure to prevent the possible spreading of the Covid-19 virus.

“A notice was clearly displayed at the entrance of the Community Service Centre to sensitise visitors as such. This happened on Sunday May 10 and normal services commenced on Monday morning as the Service Centre was reverted.

“Services were not com-

Western Cape and Garden Route Covid-19 figures explained When the daily data on confirmed Covid-19 cases within the province arrived on Monday afternoon May 11, there was no change to Bitou’s count of five confirmed cases - as has been the state of affairs since the start of lockdown. When questioned in this regard on Tuesday morning in light of the news of a new infection, spokesman for the premier’s office Bianca Capazorio said they could not comment on individual cases.

“If there are any additional cases, they can take a few days to reflect on our dashboard, as the data needs to come through to us from the lab before being confirmed, addresses have to be allocated, and so on.”

Capazorio added that the provincial Covid-19 dashboard was updated around 1pm daily, and readers are invited to visit www.coro navirus.westerncape.gov. za/covid-19-dashboard to check on the latest figures.

At 1pm on May 11, the Western Cape had 3,911 active cases of Covid-19, with a total of 5,813 confirmed cases; 1,796 recoveries and 106 deaths.

Apart from the five cases indicated for Bitou, the rest of the Garden Route remained virtually unchanged for the time being: Knysna 15, George 15, Hessequa eight and Mossel Bay 19, with Oudtshoorn counting three confirmed cases.

Dear Mr President, can we please swop lockdown for load shedding? We are quite happy to sit and drink and smoke in the dark.

Yellow, yellow? man who loved the colour yellow had yellow carpets, yellow furniture, yellow curtains, yellow walls, and even yellow appliances in his yellow kitchen.

He slept in a yellow bed with yellow covers and wore yellow pyjamas.

He got sick. You guessed it... yellow jaundice. He called a doctor who came to his apartment building.

The doorman told the

doctor he’d have no trouble finding the patient’s apartment. “You just go down the hall and come to a yellow door,” he said.

“That’s the one.”

The doctor proceeded down the hall, but after a few minutes he was back at reception.

“Were you able to help him?” the doorman asked.

The doctor replied: “Help him? I couldn’t even find him!”

A

Can’t wait for this lockdown to end and them bloody kids to go back to school.

Like a Boss Y husband, Michael, and I were at a restaurant with his boss, a rather stern older man.

When Michael began a tale I was sure he had told before, I gave him a kick under the table.

There was no response, so I gave him another poke.

Still the story went on.

Suddenly he stopped, grinned and said: “Oh, but I’ve told you this one before, haven’t I?” We all chuckled and changed the subject.

Later, on the dance floor,

I asked my husband why it had taken him so long to get my message.

“What do you mean?” he replied. “I cut the story off as soon as you kicked me.”

“But I kicked you twice, and it still took you a while to stop… “ Suddenly, we realised what had happened.

Sheepishly we returned to our table.

The boss smiled and said: “Don’t worry. After the second one I figured it wasn’t for me, so I passed it along!”

M

Know the elements N the first day of class the chemistry professor was discussing the elements in the periodic table.

“Jones, what does HNO3 signify?”

Jones, searching for the answer replied: “Well, ah, I’ve got it right on the tip of my tongue, sir.”

Professor: “Well, you better spit it out, since it’s nitric acid.”

Difference twixt being locked up and locked down With more time on my hands than I can manage during the current lockdown, I have come to realise quite a number of things that have not been on my faulty radar.

We have certainly all been kept entertained by the antics of our ministers, especially the aspiring former wife of former president Jacob Zuma.

I say “even” her, because I never realised how poorly she comes across when addressing the nation. A lack of oratory skills must have been a disease in the Zuma household.

Next is Cowboy Cele, whose mouth seems to work overtime, but

nothing of substance is ever said. The man is all bluster, like a misfiring scattergun; all talk and very little action.

Then we have our Minister of Education who, like our former president, does not seem to have a grasp of figures - or of language, for that matter.

Wasn’t she the one who mispronounced “epitome” on TV, which led to an anchorman being suspended when he said someone should tell her how to pronounce it?

Minister of Education, nogal? Please go back to school, lady.

And then we have that loudmouth, Fikile Mbal-

ula. Did anyone see that video where he tells his audience to sit down BEFORE they have entered the venue? Minister of Transport? His train never left the station. Somebody must tell him that square wheels don’t turn.

I wonder why Julias (remember, that is what his school report says) has been so quiet. I miss him.

Maybe, to him, Covid-19 is a mere cough in a teacup?

Thank goodness for Netflix; it has taught me that the American judicial system is very far from being just. We watched the Steve Avery case, Making a Murderer, and were astounded by the corruption

and downright criminality of the officials concerned.

To prove a point, we watched The Staircase where the authorities blatantly lied and hid evidence to get their conviction. America is certainly not the land of the free as it purports to be, and corruption in the US is as rife as it is here.

Thank goodness for alcohol, it eases the pain of being incarcerated; it’s the only difference between being locked up and locked down. So please Mr Cele, prove me wrong and allow us to top up as I only have three beers left in my fridge.

Gavin Barnard, Plett

Bane of advertising will only get worse as world tumbles Look, I’ve never been a great lover of advertising.

They regard you as a mobile consumer, and mostly peddle dreams that are beyond one’s ability to buy.

Pushing expectation beyond realisation; funeral adverts waiting for you to become fertilisation.

But lockdown, that’s another aspect - all these programmes asking people what do they do while locked in. Do you watch their adverts and dream?

Look at the wife and be grateful the shops are closed. Write stupid letters to the newspapers.

Cook, get fatter every day and, if you are of that society, dream of the things you used to do.

Pray for the day that the government lets you out for good behaviour; reminisce about the time when Brexit covered your

screen every day.

Get pissed off listening to so-called experts telling you that the world will never be the same again, knowing that they are talking the proverbial @#%. Human greed and selfishness will put the world back to what it has always been in six months’ time.

Me? I watch TV, listen to the music channels and watch old black and white movies, realising how unbelievably good they were before artificial intelligence took over.

Which brings me back to ads… I watch YouTube.

These advertising companies have got clever: knowing you are going to bypass the adverts in the beginning of the programme, suddenly in the middle of the symphony or film, the screen goes black and on

comes the advert.

Not short adverts, either.

A voice extolling the virtues of the Ford Ranger, a monotonous drone for four to five minutes.

When you wake up, you’ve forgotten the product, only to wake up again in the middle of another car ad - not quite as boring because there is an attractive bird doing the talking.

But just as bloody long!

Then there is that wellknown bank. Doing the history of mankind. Sorry, humankind. This ain’t no advert, it’s a bloody mini-series.

Advertising companies follow trends, so the future will consist of long miniseries adverts with breaks for the programme. Fifteen bars of Beethoven’s fifth, then BANG! Back to product.

Just when you are going

to find out the murderer, bang or no bang, and back to product.

It always amazes me that ad companies have never realised how easy it is to put you off their product. As Lord Sugar said: “Make it quick and hit them with the price.”

By the way, due to international lockdown, I am living a singular lifestyle so it ain’t only TV. It’s washing up after cooking, washing and ironing, sweeping and mopping.

Making the bed badly…

I love duvets and sit dreaming and appreciating the house executive and thinking of all those for whom the cure is worse than the disease. And to all those selfless people working to help make other people’s lives a little easier: a huge thank you.

Paul Deans, Plett

You have to take your boot off our throats, Mr President Dear president Ramaphosa, we’ve all been ready to support you and your administration in your efforts to save lives from this pandemic. Even people like me, who have questioned the idea of a lockdown as the best response have decided to comply and do whatever we could to help.

We set aside our concerns over the heavy-handedness of the police and army; we swallowed and accepted that poor people in informal housing would be crammed into their one-room dwellings for a month; we limited our trips to the shops and even accepted not being able to buy hot food (for whatever inexplicable reason).

When you couldn’t put your mask on we laughed and we were charmed to see that you were able to laugh at yourself, too.

For a time you won everyone over again.

You yourself have said that it has taken much for people to give up their

liberties, their right to be with family and friends and the ability to move freely around. Our patience and emotional state of affairs are on a knifeedge. We are losing hope.

Governments walk a fine line in times like these, where the regulations not only have to make sense, but also have to have significant buy-in from the public - otherwise people will break them, in big ways and small.

South Africans are mostly compliant, but when you promise something and then break that promise, it makes us feel like we should break your regulations in return.

Many of us aren’t afraid of the virus anymore. It’s our health and we’ll take our chances. We ARE afraid of the havoc your lockdown is wreaking on the economy, on people’s lives and livelihoods.

I see fewer and fewer explanations from ministers and more and more ca-

pricious, some would say spiteful, regulation. I’m not a smoker - I don’t like cigarettes at all - but when minister Dlamini-Zuma announced that she was (after a consultation none of us believe happened) going to keep the ban on tobacco products in place, many of us (even the nonsmokers) were ready to give her the middle finger - and start risking breaking the rules.

There are more of us than there are police officers and soldiers, so if you piss enough people off, things get very hairy.

I’m sure those advisers in the security cluster have mentioned that they can’t shoot us all or put us all in jail.

Your government, Sir, have not covered themselves in glory over the last 10 years. Some people in this country already have a taste of anarchy, where municipalities are bankrupt and there is no service delivery.

They see no evidence that the ANC will fix parastatals, cronyism, kleptocracy and, once and for all, cease their childish flirtation with outdated and failed socialist ideas. Your hold on power depends on people willing to comply with the rules - the same rules they expect you to comply with.

Our patience grows thin, and in tandem your tax collection runs dry.

When you speak of a social compact, it goes both ways. You have to take your boot off our throats.

When Moses told Pharaoh to let his people go, Pharaoh didn’t listen and there were plagues. We all know how that story went for Pharaoh. You have to start letting our people go, Mr President, or this plague will be the least of our worries. Even Moses could tell you that.

Awesome...

Plett reader ANN THOMAS shared this poem penned by a friend of hers who, she says, took forever to have her arm twisted to a point of agreeing to publication, and then only under condition of anonymity

NATURE BEAUTIFULLY IN MOTION: Twice the author of this poem has witnessed shoals of fish being herded and eaten by seals down on the island at Robberg; she tells the story of how the seals lined up in an orderly fashion and took turns to feast while the gulls shrieked and gorged themselves

It’s a seething mass of silver mackerel, as seals dart and tumble the turbulence and the shrill shriek of seagulls hovers high above the shoal.

The gulls drop to gobble and bloat, float and fish, as a humpback slides through the surface in their midst, like a brain-wave, breaching to observe the hullabaloo.

It re-surfaces further away from the mêlée

before giving a dismissive swish and diving back into the deep.

The furthest reaches of the marine network are now aroused as dolphins punctuate their way across the bay; rhythmic, meditative Morse.

Intermittently interrupted and diverted by the need to play, they surf the rise of slow looming breakers where they hang suspended in perspex, in the arc of a wave and, all, in awe, is suddenly still.
