ARBOUR WEEK

Hundreds of trees planted in Zwelihle The Whale Coast Conservation’s (WCC) annual arbour week initiative was once again a big success with the generous help of the Overstrand Municipality (OM) and AfriForum Overstrand, which sponsored indigenous yellowwood trees. Role-players met at the Zwelihle Youth Café where Fikiswa (Fiki) Gxamesie and William Ntebe explained the purpose and origins of this unique meeting place. Ntebe says the Youth Café is the first social meeting place in Zwelihle for the youth that does not serve alco-

hol. Several empowerment initiatives are being launched from the Youth Café. The WCC “One house, one tree” project will now be managed from the Youth Café and residents who would like to apply for a tree can do so at the Café. WCC has planted more than 600 trees in Zwelihle. This Arbour Week initiative also includes a gardening competition for gardeners from Zwelihle, Mount Pleasant and Hawston.

Pastor, friend assaulted in alleged racial incident In what is being described as a racial attack, a pastor and his friend were assaulted on Friday evening, 11 September at around 19:00 at Hoy’s Koppie after holding a prayer evening on the mountain. Pastor Kudakwashe Munemo, Alex Zinyemba and his wife Patricia Zinyemba went up Hoy’s Koppie to pray as they usually do at different locations. Munemo says on their way down after the

prayers, close to the parking area where their car was parked, a man with two dogs confronted them and asked: “What are you doing in our neighbourhood?” When Zinyemba explained that they were on the “mountain” to pray, the man asked them: “Why this mountain? Go pray at your own mountains in Zwelihle! You are disturbing our white peace.”

According to Munemo, the man took a collapsible stick, flipped it open and it lengthened to a metre, and started hitting them with the stick. Zinyemba was hit in the face on his chin, while Munemo was hit on his hands and shoulder. Munemo called the police on his cellphone and while waiting for them to arrive, the man left the scene. “We tried to follow him to see

where he lives so that we can send the police to his house, but a bakkie (apparently a neighbourhood watch vehicle) came past, stopped in front of our vehicle, and asked us why we were following the man.” The attacker then managed to get away. According to Sergeant Mbongeni Mazuthu, a case of common assault was opened at the Hermanus police station and they are investigating the case.
