S-Cape coastal degradation glaring after winter storms UCH of the erosion and degradation of the Southern Cape coastline, in particular from Mossel Bay to Storms River, are well documented and closely monitored by scientists. “And,” says Cobus Meiring of the Garden Route Environmental Forum (GREF), “there’s a very good reason for this.” He explains that even a modest rise in global sea levels and increased wind velocity make for exponentially stronger wave action, which results in rapid shoreline degradation. This, in turn, render coastal communities and infrastructure vulnerable to irreparable destruction and displacement. “Coastal degradation is a complex matter and due to a

great many factors, the manner in which it manifests is not uniform,” he says. “For example, the ongoing degradation of a dune system in St Francis, leaving multi-mil-

lion rand properties exposed to the might of the open ocean, is not necessarily the same process as the degradation of ancient sand dunes at Kleinkrantz near Wilderness, or damage to roads

and the promenade in Cape Town and Bloubergstrand.” According to Meiring, the overall onslaught by nature on the Southern Cape coastline is relentless, consistent, and on the increase with every winter as cold fronts bring everstronger winds and increasingly powerful waves. “Climate change and global warming are matters that are frightening to present to future generations, but there’s a lot that ordinary folk can do to mitigate the damage to the environment. “A point of departure is the way we plan future developments along the Southern Cape coast, our water-source management, and how we conserve what remains of our biodiversity,” Meiring concludes.

Lobese denies land for housing to accommodate Plett university Unhappiness over land earmarked for housing for New Horizons residents sparked protest action in Plett - YOLANDÉ STANDER reports ROTESTS staged on the Plett N2 on Thursday and Friday evenings were fuelled by fear that property known as ‘Ebenezer land’ would be used for the establishment of a university rather than housing. Bitou Municipality recently announced that an NGO showed interest in establishing a university in Plett and, during a council meeting on July 31, vowed to support the initiative. Community leader Claude Terblanche said they had heard about these plans and that on Tuesday last week, mayor Peter Lobese and a team, including a representative from the organisation proposing the university, visited Ebenezer while considering a possible site. On September 3, a meeting was called by residents and attended by Bitou speaker Euan Wildeman. “We are not supporting this drive by the mayor. At our meeting, residents expressed their feelings, saying houses should be a first priority,” said Terblanche. “The municipal statement in this regard said the venue would be announced after all public participation

processes. Ebenezer was never mentioned.” Residents staged the protest following this meeting. “We are not against education, but as we all know Ebenezer was earmarked for housing,” he said. Lobese hit back by saying he condemned any “form of incitement of residents to resort to violent protest”. He said the council resolution on July 31 to support the establishment of a university included that Bitou Municipality would avail the required land, facilitate its rezoning, and support the process of soliciting the approval of the Higher Education minister. “The unhappiness of the New Horizons community stems from the fact that there is misleading information that the establishment of such an institution on Ebenezer land threatens the housing development earmarked for that area.” He said the property identified for establishing the university’s first phase, a transactional law clinic, was a building on Ebenezer, currently unoccupied, and a house that was occupied by the owner who sold the land

to the municipality. These would be leased to the NGO, for three years; implementation of the other components of the university would “go through the agreed processes”. Prof Anele Hammond of Engadin Stiftung - heading the proposal - stated on record that the establishment and operations of the institution would be funded from its own coffers. Lobese further said the housing development for Portion 20 of the Ebenezer land had been approved and budgeted for. [Visit www.cxpress.co.za to read his full statement.] “There is a myth that funds earmarked for housing will be used for the university. This is not true or possible because of Municipal Financial Regulations. “One has to caution those that seek to use this project for their own narrow interest. Bitou Council will not abandon the development of housing for the university. The project to develop housing at the Ebenezer site has always been and will always be one of the key objectives of this council.” • See the reports on page 4.

Drugs worth R715K seized on N2 Mandrax tablets with an estimated street value of R700,000 were confiscated on September 6 on the N2 east of Plett. Said SAPS spokesman sergeant Christopher Spies: “Members conducted a roadblock at the Tsitsikamma tollgate at about 10pm on Sunday when they stopped a passenger bus en route to Cape Town. Upon searching the luggage compartment, they discovered a bag with Mandrax tablets inside. Its owner, a 31-yearold woman, was a passenger on the bus. The police confiscated 13,500 tablets and arrested her on charges of possession of drugs. In an unrelated incident police also confiscated 155 bundles of Khat, pictured, with an estimated street value of R15,000 following the search of a Toyota Quantum minibus near George. No arrest was made, but it is believed the drugs were destined for distribution in George,” said Spies.

KwaNokuthula woman’s remains identified - police calls on public to assist K Ludumo Tede

WA N O K U T H U L A SAPS has opened a murder case for investigation following the discovery of the body of a woman who was later identified as 58-year-old Zukiswa Elsie Bokveld - this according to Southern Cape police spokesman captain Malcolm Pojie. By first light last Thursday morning, Phase 1 residents woke up to the startling sight of a woman’s bloodstained remains. A passerby alerted an unidentified

homeowner of the find in his yard by throwing a stone on the roof. “Her naked body was found by the owner at about 6:30am on September 3, after someone allegedly alerted him by throwing a stone on his roof. Her torn and blood-stained clothes were lying next to her body. “The deceased was last seen alive by her daughter on September 2 around 8pm, when she told her that she was going to visit a friend,” said Pojie. The cause and circum-

stances of her death are under investigation and no arrest had been made by going to print. “The investigating officer is awaiting autopsy results from Pathology Forensics, and KwaNokuthula SAPS is appealing to the public to come forward with any information that may lead to an arrest,” he said. Anyone with information is urged to contact warrant officer Windvogel of the KwaNokuthula Detective Branch on 044 501 4200, or to call Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Residents infuriated by top brass’ no show HE proposal to establish a university on land promised for housing development was not the only reason residents took to the N2 last week to exhibit their ire; failure of the municipal manager and mayor to attend a meeting set to clarify the matter contributed to the anger that manifested in the burning of tyres between New Horizons and Plett Shell garage on Thursday and Friday. “We invited the mayor and municipal manager to meet us at the site on Wednesday September 2. When they failed to arrive,

Following the protests, Bitou mayor Peter Lobese condemned the protest actions and claimed that buildings on Ebenezer land had been identified for a law transactional clinic facility on a lease agreement. However, community leaders are unhappy that they were not consulted when the lease agreement was signed. - Ludumo Tede • See the related reports on page 3 and below, as well as the notice at left on the Plett Democratic Movement - a new political party of which Clement Titus is the spokesperson.

N September 7 DA Bitou caucus leader Bill Nel released a statement to express his party’s “surprise” that mayor Peter Lobese brought an addendum into council that was not published in the July 31 meeting’s agenda. “The addendum included a presentation to council by Prof Anele Hammond, previously Mngadi - a wellknown UCT intellectual.

the meeting was rescheduled for Thursday evening at the New Horizons taxi rank. Again, they didn’t arrive, but sent the speaker instead,” explained community spokesperson Clement Titus. “We want to know whether or not the university will be built at Ebenezer. If it is so, we as concerned residents’ forums want to tell him this is not going to happen. “Adding to that, we want to know what happened to our proposal for letting the unoccupied building be occupied by those in need, who are on the waiting list.”

During the presentation, DA councillors were shocked to learn that Swiss-based NGO Engadin Stiftung had already made the decision to invest billions of rands to establish a university in Plett, and that the process would start as early as September. “This decision was made without council seeing a credible business plan or a scrap of evidence confirm-

ing that any governmentrequired approvals for such an endeavour had even been applied for,” said Nel. Lobese’s hasty press release claiming that council “resolved” to support the project is false, according to Nel’s statement. “There was no council resolution, nor was there a vote on the matter.” Visit www.cxpress.co.za for Nel’s full statement.

Furniture, fine art, fabrics et al on display in Plett Words & photos: Timothy Twidle

display of furniture along with fine art, fabrics and ceramics, under the name of Reidwood Exhibition, opened in the Yellowwood Centre in Plettenberg Bay’s Main Street last month. The exhibition was organised by Reidwood proprietor Patrick Reid, whose local company

fabricates handmade furniture from primarily indigenous South African trees and, to lesser extent, from other timber. After a few words of welcome by Reid, the exhibition was opened by Helen Mudge, formerly owner of Knysna Forest Furniture, which from 1977 to 2006 made household furnishings in wood garnered from the montane forests of the Garden Route.

The shop owner pointed out three identical parrots on a perch and said: “The parrot to the left costs R500.” “Why on earth does that parrot cost so much?” the man wondered. The owner replied: “Well, it knows how to use a computer.” The man asked about the next parrot on the perch.

“That one costs R1,000 because it can do everything the other parrot can do, plus it knows how to use the UNIX operating system.” Naturally, the startled customer asked about the third parrot. “That one costs R2,000.” “And what does that one do?” the man asked. The owner replied: “To be honest, I’ve never seen him do a thing, but the other two call him boss.”

Knysna authorities would do well to follow Plett example of estuary management It is wonderful that Arland Read’s lone voice regarding the abject neglect of key strategic management elements of Knysna Lagoon continues to be heard [see page 7 of the August 26 edition at www.cxpress.co.za]. It seems, from a distance, that his fortitude, resolution, determination and courage continue in the face of unmoving SANParks authorities. Their approach in this context appears stuck in an era when Thesen Island was a wood-processing plant and Tapas served excellent F&B in its vicinity, i.e. the current regulations have not changed in 35 years or so. The lagoon is protected by a dedicated National Act of Parliament, but its neglect in several key dimensions is a matter of shame for all stakeholders. Where are Knysna’s local authorities in this? One would hope to find them foursquare behind Arland’s longstanding campaign. Knysna Tour-

ism, too, could add its significant weight to this effort. All attempts to engage SANParks in serious two-way strategic and biodiversity-orientated dialogue regarding the management of water users, have, in my personal experience, resulted in either a diversion to inane operational or tactical detail (as reflected in their letter in CXPRESS of July 1), or provoked a barrage of obfuscation, diversion, deflection, and defensive diatribe. Anything to avoid the obvious crucial issues. As the expression goes: if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Why its Knysna office refuses to constructively engage in an open public forum not chaired or managed by SANParks is anyone’s guess. They are the primary defender of the lagoon and all that live in, on, under or near it - not only high-speed boaters. In Plett, we brought

together most of the estuary community with a similar overall environmental and tourism agenda, creating a blend of estuary, river, and lagoon support. We rolled back decades of misuse and raised awareness and sensitivity around the themes of environmental education, the impact of high-speed boating, not taking nature for granted and restoring it where possible - in short, the sustainability of the total ecosystem that is the Plett estuary complex. The Bitou Municipality River Bylaw (Western Cape Provincial Gazette Extraordinary 7543, 7.12.2015) imposes reasonable usage restrictions on users of the Keurbooms/ Bitou estuary. It is not perfect, nor is the bylaw routinely or consistently enforced; however, much progress has been made. Bitou officials have been supportive in seeking to implement its bylaw. CapeNature Plett has jurisdiction over the

Keurbooms River north of the N2 bridge and the municipality on, among others, the rivers running south of the N2. CapeNature head Henk Niewoudt and his team have for many years assisted the municipality with enforcement assistance, advice and general cooperation. SANParks could well follow their lead. All members of local conservations, tourism and business communities: please raise your voices by supporting Arland’s overall objectives and his long-running campaign to stop the deterioration of our fabulous environment. Errol Finkelstein, Cardiff Bay, Wales (Errol is former chairman of the Western Cape UNESCO Biosphere Reserves NPC, the Bitou Municipality River Bylaw Advisory Committee, and the Keurbooms-Bitou River Estuary Forum, and served as Honorary CapeNature River Warden while residing in Plett. - Eds.)

Feedback on chokka and tree-chopping queries In response to the query on chokka boats in the bay [read it on page 5 of the September 2 edition at www.cxpress.co.za], Norman Mayall of Plett Beach Control commented: “In terms of legality, they are all 100% above board; it’s a very well-regulated industry with boats coming from as far afield as Mossel Bay and St Francis, all of them being monitored and tracked. “There are also many local skippers on board and this year we had 25-30 boats taking advantage of the chokka run, each taking about 200-500kg per night. But

by end-August, most of them had returned to their home ports.” Local CapeNature head Henk Nieuwoudt responded to a reader’s heartfelt gripe [see ‘Harsh sentences suggested for… tree hackers of Plett’ on page 7 of the August 26 edition] over the demolition of the habitat of breeding egrets: “You should speak to the responsible person at Bitou Municipality, who contacted me last year regarding complaints about the breeding flock especially the stench pervading the Central Beach parking lot.

It irks how our planet’s lingua franca is being dissed by Generation Z What is happening to the wonderful language of English? As the lingua franca of the world and the language of universal academia, English should be treated with respect. It is thus alarming to read in the media of the approach of the so-called Generation Z, viz. people in their late teens and early 20s, who are disregarding punctuation and using deliberate misspellings in electronic messages. How can one make sense of English without

correct punctuation? Consider the following two sentences: a) Let us eat grandmother; b) Let us eat, grandmother. The humble comma produces a completely different, and the correct meaning, to the second sentence. In these days of electronic correspondence I am happy not to be an English school teacher trying to teach syntax to, one assumes, the reluctant pupils of Generation Z. Kevin Meineke, Plett

“I recommended they used the prisms erected to repel birds from vineyards, for example, installing these among the trees outside of breeding season in order to prevent the egrets’ return. Typically, these birds just move on to the next appropriate nesting ground. “Many of the houses at Lookout and Beachy Head have already installed these prisms to protect their houses from being covered

in bird droppings. “I have to assume that they didn’t appreciate my advice, so in collaboration with the Parks and Recreation department, the drastic decision was taken to cut down the Central Beach trees. “My concern is that this will become the standard reaction in future, resulting in the destruction of all trees that might potentially be used by our breeding egrets.”

Who pays for interminable court actions? Thank you for the ongoing publication of CXPRESS - while providing an enjoyable read, it’s a plus being updated on Plett news and more. Aside from the foregoing, as a ratepayer I have an ongoing gripe about the time taken in getting rid of corrupt, underperforming, and parasitical municipal employees. Court actions and de-

ferrals are interminable, which in my view justifies the quote that ‘the law is an ass’. This month’s Cape High Court hearing, of the super-expensive cost of Bitou mayoral wheels, is one of many examples. This and other court actions raise the question: who bears these legal costs?
