Pasop vir hierdie nuwe slenter

Nuwe planne met duine in Bettysbaai en Pringlebaai

Huge boost for KAWS Saturday the 27th of June saw much excitement at Kleinmond Animal Welfare Society. Chris Friend and his camera crew descended upon KAWS, obtaining enough footage to make a TV KAWS ad. Friend, owner of Blizzard Productions, is a great animal lover and offered to make an ad for KAWS free of charge. This is a huge boost for KAWS, especially because this small animal welfare organization totally depends on donations. The aim is of the ad is to create national exposure for our furry friends still waiting on a home. Watch this space for details on the first flighting of the ad. KAWS will arrange a get together to celebrate Kleinmond and KAWS.

Pasop vir hierdie nuwe slenter KLEINMOND – Plaaslike besighede het dit onder die aandag van die Herald gebring dat ‘n Durbanse maatskappy besig is om plaaslike maatskappye met ‘n slenter te vang. Die maatskappy, met die naam Global Electronic Directory, stuur glo briewe uit wat baie soortgelyk is aan die wat Telkom uitstuur. Dié indruk word versterk deurdat daar verwys word na bv. die Boland en Weskus gids. Die kontak e-pos van GED is dan ook directory@telkomsa.net.

Na

jy die vorm ingevul en geteken het word jy dan versoek om oor die R5 000 oor te betaal aan die maatskappy. Hiervoor onderneem GED dan om seker te maak dat jou besigheid wel gelys en die inligting korrek is.

Die grap is dat GED absoluut niks met Telkom uit te waai het nie en beslis nie namens Telkom mag optree nie. Die diens wat hulle aanbied teen meer as R5000 kan deur enige besigheid self gedoen word en sonder enige koste.

Fishing rights allocation process Public consultation meetings Cape Town, 25 June 2015: On the 12th of June 2015, the Minister of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (“the Department”) published the draft 2015 sector policies for Abalone, Hake Inshore Trawl, Horse Mackerel, KwaZulu-Natal Beach Seine, Large Pelagic, Net Fish, Patagonian Toothfish, Seaweed, West Coast Rock Lobster (nearshore), West Coast Rock Lobster (offshore) and the Fish Processing Establishments (“FPE”), draft application forms and draft fees (application and grant of right) for comment.

Important Whale Coast Conservation dates TALK ON SUSTAINABLE FISHING Our talk on Tuesday 7 July at 17h30 at the Green House is of great relevance to our area. The speaker is Mkululi Silandela of WWF-SA who has been working with small scale fishers in the Kleinmond area. With many of our inshore marine resources badly overexploited, including important species such as abalone, West Coast rock lobsters and a number of key line-fish species, South Africa’s small-scale fishing communities face an uncertain future unless new solutions can be found to managing this complex sector.

WWF-SA has been working with the Kogelberg fishing communities and various stakeholders in Kleinmond since 2013 to address some of the key environmental and social challenges facing South Africa’s small-scale fisheriesThe first of its kind in the country, this Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP) is built on the premise that

small-scale fisheries need to be both socially and environmentally sustainable in order to sustain livelihoods.

Over the last year, together with the community, the project partners have put together a work plan to achieve resilient fisheries. Mkhululi will outline the challenges and explain the proposed work plan and the way forward.

PREVIEW OF TALKS IN AUGUST We are happy to tell you that we have two talks in August that should have wide appeal and cater for many interests.

The first talk is about flowers and the second about sea turtle conservation. We will give more details of the talks in the August Newsletter, but please diarise them in the meantime. They are both at the Green House at 17h30 (5.30 pm).

Tuesday 11 August: David Davidson will talk about all the drama at the Chelsea Flower Show 2015.

Wednesday 26 August: Dr George Hughes speaks on sea turtle conservation. Please note that this talk is on a Wednesday and not our usual Tuesday.

Sand dune invasion – Betty’s Bay Public participation meeting – 11:00 on Saturday 18 July 2015 at Crassula hall After many months of perseverance by the Betty’s Bay Dune Interest Group (DIG) and the Betty’s Bay Ratepayers Association (BBRA) in communicating with anyone prepared to listen regarding the drift sand problems at Main Beach, we have now finally arrived at what we hope will be the starting point of a chain of events which will lead to a stabilised and rehabilitated dune field at Main Beach.

The Betty’s Bay DIG Committee have met in Stellenbosch on 21 April 2015 with representatives of Cape Nature, Western Cape Department of Environmental Affairs & Development Planning (DEADP)-Environmental Management Directorate, Overstrand Department of Environmental Management and Mr Laurie Barwell, a specialist consultant in the field of coastal and dune

management.

Mr Barwell is a civil engineer who has worked at the Natural Resources and the Environment Division of the CSIR in Stellenbosch for more than 20 years in the Dune Rehabilitation and Stabilisation field.

Mr Barwell (now retired) is currently involved with the Pringle Bay Rate Payers Association (PBRA) and Overstrand Municipality in addressing sand encroachment problems in Pringle Bay. Mr Barwell has been part of a CSIR team that developed a Dune Management Plan for Pringle Bay in the 80’s and has a long association with Pringle Bay. The original Pringle Bay Plan was only partially implemented and while the part that was implemented is still stable today the part not implemented now creates a major problem. Mr Barwell has now been contracted by the PBRA to update the original PB Plan to accommodate changed

conditions on the ground and new Legislation and to resubmit the Plan to DEADP for approval.

Mr Barwell has now been also approached by Mr Pierre de Villiers (Cape Nature) to also provide an opinion on the way forward at Main Beach in Betty’s Bay. At the meeting Mr Barwell presented on the work being done at Pringle Bay and explained the methods being used. He also gave a view on what could be done at Main Beach based on his initial investigation. The most important insight for the DIG Committee was that the problem at Main Beach is not particularly difficult to manage and that it has been done successfully at many other areas (e.g. Stilbaai & Big Bay in Blouberg).

The way forward for us here in Betty’s Bay is the same as for Pringle Bay - namely: a) Register the intention to generate a Dune Management

Plan with DEADP – this must be done by the Municipality. b) Generate a Dune Management Plan for the Main Beach dune field – this will be done by Mr Laurie Barwell with some assistance from Cape Nature. c) Get approval of the Management Plan from DEADP – Overstrand Municipality. d) Implement the rehabilitation and stabilisation part of the plan. e) Maintain the stabilised and rehabilitated dune field.

The Dune Management Plan b) is a permanent Plan - unlike the temporary Plan submitted by the Municipality earlier this year. The objective of the former is to rehabilitate the dune field and thereafter maintain it. The objective of the latter is to allow the Municipality to, in the interim – until the permanent plan has been generated and approved by Province, legally (continued on p 5)

Overstrand Herald (continued from p 4) remove the sand to keep the roads open and to deposit the sand back on the beach.

It should also be noted that item d) above (implementation) would require significant funding - figures of R3m to R4m for a turnkey contract has been mentioned. There could be a benefit of scale if the BB and PB work is done together during implementation. There are many ways to fund the implementation phase, but we first have to have an approved Management Plan.

Item e) above (maintenance) would require a continuous low level funding basically for ever and a Special Rating Area may be the best funding model for this.

Nothing can be done at all until items a) & b) above have been completed. This has been our main obstacle thus far, but through the involvement of Mr Laurie Barwell, we finally have a way of achieving this.

We are happy to report that we have the full and enthusiastic

2 Julie 2015 support of the various DEADP Directorates involved to find environmentally sound and legally acceptable means to manage the dune fields. Being the enforcing authority of the environmental laws, DEADP cannot be instrumental in generating the plan, but they are actively participating in the discussion and provide guidance to ease the eventual approval of the Plan. They have agreed that we, as is also the case in Pringle Bay, do not have to prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), but only provide a Management Plan – this is a major cost saver.

Cape Nature is providing two Environmental Management interns (master degree graduates) to assist Laurie in the preparation of the Betty’s Bay Dune Management Plan to reduce the cost of Laurie’s consultancy fees.

In May 2015 the BBRA and the PBRA were invited by Mr Coenie Groenewald, the Municipal Manager (MM) of Overstrand Municipality, to discuss the dune

rehabilitation project and more specifically possible funding models for the project. The meeting was also attended by the Executive Mayor Alderlady Nicolette Botha-Guthrie, the Manager Environmental Affairs Liezl Bezuidenhout and various other officials.

During the meeting the MM expressed sympathy with the plight of those affected by the sand problems in Betty’s Bay and Pringle Bay and pledged the assistance of the Municipality in addressing the problems, but added that the Overstrand Budget is under severe strain and that it would very difficult to allocate funding to the BB and PB projects.

The Municipality has however applied for more than R3m of funding from the Work for Coast job creation program of the Central Government that could be used for this purpose. Most of this funding would however be in the form of unskilled labour and some additional funding would have to be found for the civil works

Bladsy 5 part of the plans. The Mayor also expressed her enthusiastic support for the projects at the meeting.

Mr Barwell’s fee for doing the investigation and generating the Management Plan (item b) above) is R50k. This represents only about a week’s worth of work at the current Professional Engineer consultancy fees. Mr Barwell’s will be spending many more hours than one week of effort on the task and this number is therefore really exceptionally reasonable. Also required as input to the work is a three dimensional survey of the dune field adding a further cost of about R25K. Overstrand Municipality has offered to fund the survey work if the rate payers fund Mr Barwell’s work. The survey has now been completed and the data provided to Mr Barwell. The same process has been followed at Pringle Bay. Pringle Bay has an existing Management Plan that only needs to be updated and the cost for the Plan is (continued on p 8)

Sand dune invasion – Betty’s Bay (continued from p 5) therefore lower (R25k) and the PBRA has already collected about R30k for this purpose.

In Betty’s Bay we still have to collect funds for the generation of the Management Plan and the BBRA has decided to assist in collecting and administering funds for this purpose.

The sand dune problem has been one which has been a thorn in our side for a considerable period of time and has been in the forefront of the BBRA agenda and at last a viable solution is on the cards. This solution will benefit all residents of Bettys Bay in one form or another and we therefore appeal to all those who see the benefits laid out in this missive to contribute towards the cost of the planning exercise. The BBRA will administer donations through their bank account and will ring fence such funds for this purpose alone. Donations should be deposited to the

following bank account: Bettys Bay Ratepayers Association ABSA Hermanus Cheque Account Number 4066616439 Depositors should reference their contributions as follows – Surname-Erf Number-DIG i.e.

Smith 1234 DIG Should you prefer cheques can be mailed to us at: Bettys Bay Ratepayers Association P.O. Box 48 Bettys Bay 7141 There are many advantages to be gained by all the BBRA members (in fact the whole BB community) in the rehabilitation and stabilisation of the Main Beach area (see below) and therefore the BBRA Management Committee requests contributions from our members and all other residents and property owners in Betty’s Bay. Successful stabilisation

and rehabilitation of the Main Beach dune field will bring the following advantages: 1. Improved access to the beach for the general public including parking 2. Improvement in functionality and safety of the road network near the beach area 3. Preservation of the behind the dunes fresh water ecological system for the benefit of future generations 4. Aesthetic improvement of the beach area that would lead to increased tourism and a boost to the village economy.

There are additional advantages to be gained in particular by the owners of affected properties close to the beach; most of who are members of the Betty’s Bay Dune Interest Group.

Members of DIG and all other property owners in Nerine, Morea and Nivenia roads will also be approached directly by the DIG Committee to make

contributions.

There are significant advantages for the Overstrand Municipality as well: 1. Recovery of property values will restore and grow the tax base in the main beach area.

2. Reduction in the current cost of service deliver (water, sanitation, etc.)

3. Reduction in the cost of road maintenance in the area – the current cost of keeping the roads open is significant.

4. Increase tourism further growing the tax base.

There will be a presentation by Laurie Barwell in the Crassula Hall on Saturday 18 July 2015 at 11:00 to provide more information about the proposed plan.

Nog ‘n koppie?

Eerlikheid Slaan nou maar ‘n koerant oop in vandag se dae en eerlikheid is nie ‘n woord wat jy daar gaan kry nie. Nie sommer nie.

Nie dat alle mense oneerlik is nie, maar ‘n goeie skoot van die samelewing is sommer korrup, skelm of krimineel. En elkeen het ‘n goeie verskoning vir sy optrede. Nee, “goed” is dit nie, maar elkeen het ‘n, na sy eie mening, aanvaarbare rede hoekom hy lang vingers, immorele besigheidspraktyke of ongeoorloofde inkopiemetodes het.

In die dae van die Industriële Rewolusie in Engeland, is kinders swaar gestraf wanneer hulle gevang is, nadat hulle iets gesteel het. Die “iets” was dikwels kos. En die straf was dikwels dat hulle opgehang is. Ek kan verstaan dat mense kos vat, indien hulle baie honger het. Dis dié dat sopkombuise floreer. Dis skreiend dat mense so arm is dat hulle ‘n blik babamelk moet steel. Dit gebeur.

Dit is my pot se deksel dat mense wat soveel geld het dat hulle ‘n klein Afrika staat se jaarlikse begroting uit hul agtersak sou kon finansier, steeds hul weg oopsien om sakevennote en beleggers in te loop. In die fliek “The Firm”, is die mooie Tom Cruise ‘n jong advokaat wat agterkom alles is nie pluis by die vooraanstaande kantoor waar hy werk nie. Die enigste manier waarop hy die ou spulletjie kan vastrek is om hulle vas te pen daarop dat hulle hul honderde kliënte oor jare ingeloop het deur ‘n paar

Bladsy 10

sent te veel posgeld te vra.

Dit lyk vir my asof eerlikheid ‘n baie duur artikel geword het, terwyl skelmgeit op straathoeke soos rou riool deur bebarste pype borrel. En wat die skelmgeit nóg erger maar, is wanneer mense wat tog so graag voorhou hoe godsdienstig hulle is, net so skelm is is soos ander na wie hulle tog o, so meerderwaardig op neersien.

Ek verneem hier loop ‘n man op die dorp rond wat wyd en syd te vertel het hoe hard hy as sendeling werk. Terwyl sy mond nou diékant toe gepraat het, toe praat hy glo sommer ‘n paar skoene uit ‘n tweedehandse winkel uit weg, sonder om die volle prys te betaal. Hy het klaarblyklik sy voortande iewers verloor, maar dit was nie in die klerewinkel nie.

Hoeveel van die nuusmakers in ons land kan hulle deesdae daarop roem dat hulle eerlik is?

Hoeveel mense is regtig eerlik omtrent hulself? Daar is, dink ek, te veel dinge wat mense wegsteek en dan raak dit net makliker om ‘n leuen te leef en te glo. Wanneer laas het iemand die woord “Nkandla” gesê, en nié daaroor gewonder nie? Wie het verlede jaar alles geglo wat Oscar Pistorius gesê het? Selfs die reg word nou só geplooi en bewimpel dat nie almal meer selfs die regsproses wil vertrou nie.

Thomas Jefferson het gesê: “Honesty is the first book of wisdom”. Ek dink ons bly deesdae in wêreld van swape, want eerlikheid skiet te kort.

Die agt lede van die CSSbestuurskomitee kom formeel byeen. Nadat elke lid sy/haar laaste indrukke van die koor verwoord het, word die Con Spirito Sangers amptelik ontbind. Met ‘n gebed deur Herman Brouwer verdaag die vergadering.

Die Con Spirito bestaan nie meer nie. Van die koorlede sal sekerlik in die toekoms byeen kom om nog op te tree (soos verlede Sondag in die NGKerk), maar dit sal net ‘n koor wees, nie die CSS nie!!

Namens die Komitee wil ek al die mense wat ‘n bydrae tot die reklame van die koor gemaak het, dankie sê. Dankie aan al ons resensieskrywers deur die jare: Chris Storm, wyle dr. Pieter Roos, wyle Dries Vermeulen, Ria Barrows, Chrisjan Cruywagen, Trisa Hugo, Pieta Pieterse.

Koorlede soos Johan Jacobs

en Ronel Geldenhuys het ook waardevolle bydraes gelewer. ‘n Groot dankie word gerig aan die Overstrand Herald vir sy volgehoue ondersteuning al die jare deur die talle geleenthede aan die koor toegestaan om reklame te maak vir die koor se optredes, vir die talle foto’s wat geplaas kon word, vir die resensies waarvoor daar altyd plek was.

By name wil ek vir (wyle) Dries en Matilda Vermeulen (die vorige eienaars van die koerant) asook die huidige redakteur en sy eggenoot (Gerard en Ilna Grobler) bedank. Spesiaal moet ek Cornelia Calitz se naam noem, want sy moes elke keer met wonderlike geduld my iewat ongeletterde rekenaarverstand die regte pad wys.

Die Con Spirito Sangers bestaan die meer nie, maar die wêreld se wonderlike musiek sal bly voortleef!!. – Jean du Toit

Uitmuntende winter projek KLEINMOND - Die baie nat winter weer is net die regte motivering om breinaalde en hekelpenne nader te trek om warm musse, serpe en truie die lig te laat sien. In Kleinmond is daar groepe talentvolle dames met jare se ondervinding en kennis van wol-en-gare en hierdie dames maak die mees uitsonderlike items.

Een spesifieke groepie kom weekliks bymekaar onder die leiding van die span-leier, Nelie Ungerer.

Een van die nuwe leerlinge het begin om die bekende “grannysquare” te leer hekel. Om die leer-en-oefen meer interessant te maak, is daar besluit om iets besonders met hierdie blokkies te maak. Die idee van ‘n kombers is gebore.

Die projek het dadelik aanklank by die groepie gevind en wol, in ‘n verskeidenheid lieflike kleure, is aangekoop. Die hekelwerk het begin in alle erns teen ‘n fenomenale spoed. Ongekende entoesiasme het die groep van sewe dames aan die hekel gehad en so is meer as 400 blokkies gehekel. Baie geduld

en uithou vermoë was die orde van die dag want net die beste blokkies kon gebruik word in die kombers. Blokkies is uitgetrek en weer gehekel totdat hulle perfek was. Uiteindelik kon die groot taak van aanmekaar-werk begin en met die voltooiing daarvan is die kombers afgerond met ‘n indrukwekkende rand.

Die grootte van die kombers pas ‘n dubbel-bed.

Hierdie groot projek was ‘n reuse taak wat baie ure van toewyding en harde werk gevra het. Daar is besluit om die voltooide kombers uit te loot.

Die wins van die opbrengs van hierdie lotery word aan die Laerskool Kleinmond geskenk.

Die trekking vind aan die einde van Julie 2015 by die skool plaas.

Hierdie is werklik ‘n waardevolle projek.

Die dames was eensgesind oor die wonderlike spanwerk van hierdie projek en ook dankbaar vir die kennis wat opgedoen daartydens. Die groot prys aan die einde van die dag is dat ander ook daarby gaan baat. Wel gedaan. (Alice van Rooyen)

Bird club outing The June birding outing started with a short sharp shower of rain, but seven avid birders met at the library ready to brave the weather which turned out to be very mild, sunny and windfree…rather perfect for birding.

We headed in convoy, to the Hawston sewage works where we encountered about 15 different species in and around the sewage ponds. We identified Yellow-billed ducks, Cape teals,a single Cattle egret, Cape shovellers, Red knobbed coots , many Hartlaub gulls, little Grebes “dabchicks”, a pair of Three banded plovers attending their chick, Egyptian geese, Hadedas and Grey herons. As we were leaving, a Sacred ibis flew on to the bank and on moving towards the cars we were graced by a “fly by” of about 20 beautiful greater Flamingos. Looking down across the marshes a Grassbird was spotted as well as an African marsh harrier. Two special sightings.

From there we drove to the Vermont Bird Pan to be confronted by the never

disappointing large flock of White breasted cormorants all shuffling about on their manmade roostery to make their nests. On the pan we saw African black ducks, many common Moorhens, more Red knobbed coots and Greater flamingos gliding through the water.

At this stage it was decided we would have our coffee break giving us time to discuss our morning.

After our break we walked around the pan spotting the Lesser swamp warbler, a couple of African red-eyed bulbuls, a Cape spurfowl, Levaillant cisticola, Cape robin chat, Southern double collared and Malachite sunbirds, a common Starling, Cape weavers, an Olive thrush, Cape white eyes, a Speckled mousebird, Cape canaries and a male Pintailed whydah in his ‘eclipse’ plumage.

After a successful morning out we set off home about noon…. another good count of species considering it is a winter month.

Old age can be very funny, ‘uitgelate’, hilarious Don’t keep it to yourself, share it with your friends: the unintended, crazy things you do and they will do likewise. I have garnered a few good ones (names have been changed to protect the innocent): 1. Jossie’s been gardening.

She goes inside to change before going shopping. On her return, she goes to the toilet.

Oh crumbs! She as still wearing her gardening pants under her going out clothes!

2. Soekie gaan vrieskas toe om vleis uit te haal. “Hallo beursie!

Dis waar jy wegkruip! Ek soek jou al die hele dag”.

3. Hessie’s taking washing from the washing machine – and found that she’s given her cellphone a spin as well. With much trepidation she opens it up, puts it under the hair-drier for a while and then switches the phone on. “Voila! It works!”

Careless? Clever? Or both?

4. Wena is in die toilet. Haar

foon lui. Dis nie in haar sak nie. “O gaats, dit moet in die bak wees!” She puts her hand down the “bak”, but, alas, no phone! Yet, it rings again! So the plumber is called to try to intercept the phone at the outlet pipe before it lands in the hell-hole. It rings again. “Dit kan nie wees nie,” sê die loodgieter.

“Is jy seker dis nie in jou sak nie?

Oh my hat! It had fallen into her high-rise boot!

5. Cookie scoops up the dirt into the dustpan, opens the fridge and is about to sling it in when the proverbial penny drops.

Oops! Wrong door!

6. Babsie opens the fridge.

Annoyed she calls: “Koos, het jy al die melk uitgedrink?”

“Nee, vrou, daar wás g’n melk nie, maar ek kry ‘n blikkie skoenpolitoer tussen die kaas en goed!” Babsie maak die besemkas oop: “Hallo melk!”

Munisipale verhogings AfriForum het sy 125 takke regoor Suid-Afrika opdrag gegee om die finale salarisverhogings van raadslede en munisipale werkers, soos vervat in die goedgekeurde munisipale begrotings, met ’n valkoog dop te hou, sodat munisipaliteite wat nie presteer nie, nie beloon word nie.

Dit volg nadat die SuidAfrikaanse plaaslike regerings vereniging (SALGA) versoek het dat daar geen onderskeid tussen tydelike en permanente raadslede moet wees nie en dat alle raadslede R1,3 miljoen per jaar moet verdien, dieselfde as parlementslede.

Munisipale werkers wil ook aanspraak maak op ’n verhoging van 11%, wat aansienlik hoër as inflasie is.

“Die koste om ’n wanfunksionele regering te finansier plaas reeds ’n las op belastingbetalers se skouers. Gemeenskappe regoor Suid-Afrika word genoodsaak om self aksie te neem en probleme in hul dorpe te takel waaronder die herstel en vervanging van stukkende

straatligte en kragpale, die herstel van slaggate, vervanging van waterpompe en die skoonmaak van besoedelde riviere. Nou word daar boonop verwag dat belastingsbetalers moet opdok vir buitensporige salarisverhogings. Dit werk nie so nie,” sê Ivan Herselman, AfriForum se woordvoerder vir plaaslike regeringsake.

“AfriForum voel inteendeel dat salarisse verminder moet word sodat persone wat aansoek doen vir munisipale poste en om op die raad te dien, dit vir die vooruitgang van die gemeenskap sal doen en nie bloot vir finansiële gewin nie.”

AfriForum erken dat daar raadslede en munisipale werkers is wat hul beste doen, maar wie se goeie bydraes deur wanadministrasie en die afwesigheid van politieke wil, geen vrugte afwerp nie.

Buitensporige salarisse sal ook met die LUR vir plaaslike regering en finansies opgeneem word. Uitgereik deur Afriforum

Arabella spreads warmth KLEINMOND - Arabella Hotel and Spa visited Heideland and Bambanani and handed over a total of 148 jackets, beanies and scarves to all the children and teachers as part of their June Company Social Investments (CSI) project.

Arabella also treated everyone to a delicious hot dog and cold drink at Heideland and Macaroni for the little ones at Bambanani. A spokesperson for the group said, “As it is winter, the CSI committee decided to make a contribution to keep at least some of little ones in this area warm and dry, as many of them have to walk long distances to school in the adverse weather some days.

Our aim is to get more involved with our communities and

uplift the lives of those who are in need.�

In the upcoming month the staff at Arabella will also be doing some maintenance work at these two facilities. Arabella has 12 projects per year where they reach out to those in need. The committee receive many requests from people in need. For that reason they do monthly site visits to establish the need. The CSI team that enjoyed the day at Heideland and Bambanani was Margaret Martin, Zelna Adams, Gunther Joerdens, Melany Cooper, Helga Horn, Alexia Jellen, Steven Strydom and Herman Phillander. If anyone would like to approach the CSI committee for assistance please contact Helga Horn on 028 284 0000.

Patricia and Riekie with Remo Patricia and Charisma

Charisma and Remo: A love story Neglected, mangy and starving, Charisma and Remo were rescued by our fieldworkers, Charisma on the N2 and Remo close to Salandra.

Our staff was heartbroken when they met these two scruffy looking dogs. And this is where the love story starts. KAWS staff, volunteers and sponsors immediately set to work to change these two scruffies into beautiful, happy dogs.

Sponsors to help cover the medical costs, volunteers to bring a snack or just to sit with them and give them the love they’ve never known.

KAWS is still writing their love story and will keep readers up to date with their progress. Those with Facebook, are welcome to join their page to see the antics of all the KAWSonites and regular updates on Remo and Charisma.

But for this story and several other happy ending stories KAWS can’t do it on their own.

They would like to thank all sponsors and volunteers - shop and animals. And special thanks to some local businesses that help and support this cause.

They would like to give a special thanks to SPAR for donating platters, Protea Drankwinkel for glasses for the AGM and the Herald for publishing the stories.

If you have same time to give, please go and visit and meet Charisma and Remo. For the more active: the dogs love a walk. The shop is always looking for a helping hand.

KAWS is situated on the corner of Main and Protea Roads.

50 miljoen liter rou riool www.overstrandherald.co.za vloei daagliks in oseaan

by Kaapstad Die Kaap is beslis nie meer Hollands nie. Nagenoeg 50 miljoen liter rou riool en grys water vloei op ? daaglikse basis sowat 1,7 km vanaf die kus by Kaapstad in die Atlantiese Oseaan. Dit is die somtotaal van Groenpunt (30 miljoen liter), Houtbaai (5,5 miljoen liter) en Kampsbaai (2 miljoen liter) se rioolaanlegte. ‘n Sif skei die groot stukke ontlasting en harde riool, waarna die res in die oseaan gepomp word. Dit is ook nie net die riool wat oproer veroorsaak nie, maar miljoene liters chemikalieë wat saam met die riool elke maand in die see gepomp word. Wanneer seestrome weg van die kus vloei, word die riool verdun en weggespoel, maar die probleem ontstaan wanneer die seestrome na die kus vloei en die wind kuswaarts waai.

Talle duikers, kajak-entoesiaste en branderplankryers het al vantevore siek geword weens die riool.

“Kaapstad kan nie sy rioolprobleem in die oseaan wegspoel óf bloot aansoek doen vir ‘n permit om dit te wettig nie. Hierdie is ‘n uitdaging wat die munisipaliteit die een of ander tyd vierkantig in die oë sal moet kyk en met innoverende oplossings vorendag sal moet kom,” het Stefan Pieterse, AfriForum se provinsiale koördineerder vir die Wes-Kaap, gesê. ‘n Tekort aan ‘n geskikte ruimte om ‘n nuwe rioolaanleg te bou, blyk een van die grootste kopsere vir die munisipaliteit van die Moederstad te wees, maar baie mense wil nou weet wat die moontlikheid daarvan is om Groenpunt-stadion, wat baie min gebruik word, in ’n wêreldklas-fasiliteit te omskep, waar riool eers verwerk kan word, voor dit in die see gepomp word.

“Wat van ons blouvlagstrande wat jaarliks duisende besoekers en toeriste lok? Die rioolstorting laat vrae onstaan oor die status van hierdie strande ook,” sê Tommie van Zyl, voorsitter van die AfriForum-tak in Kaapstad-Noord.

Lede van die publiek moet hul stemme dik maak, maar hulle het slegs tot 10 Julie 2015, die datum waarop die openbare deelname proses sluit.

Om die publiek te help, het AfriForum nou ‘n aanlynpetisie van stapel gestuur wat enige lid van die publiek in minder as een minuut elektronies kan teken en wat AfriForum aan die munisipaliteit én die departement van omgewingsake gaan oorhandig.

AfriForum probeer om 20 000 besware aan die munisipaliteit te oorhandig voor 10 Julie 2015 en doen ‘n ernstige beroep op alle Suid-Afrikaners om die petisie aanlyn te teken by https://www. afriforum.co.za/stop-rou-riool-die-see/.

Bowls Funday KLEINMOND - On Sunday, 28 June, a beautiful sunny winter’s day six members and 12 visitors enjoyed a relaxing afternoon’s game of bowls followed by a bring and braai at the Kleinmond Bowls Club.

After 14 ends the two top teams had a 4 end play-off with Cai, Jakkie and Gawie narrowly beating Alan, Deon

and Sandi by two shots.

One of the other games was all-ladies’ event skipped

by Irene and Denise where there was more giggling and laughter than serious bowls, but a great time was had by all. Make a note in your diary that the next Funday is 26 July, weather permitting. Don’t miss it! You’re all invited.
