Muizenberg’s ‘white elephant’ The Muizenberg Pavilion is ‘not being used to its full potential’ DALEEN FOUCHÉ
MUIZENBERG’S beachfront Pavilion has come in for criticism over its outer appearance and council has been accused of neglecting it as an asset. From afar, the building appears neat and in good order, but a closer inspection reveals that some parts are rusty or are rotting because of damp. But South Peninsula Subcouncil chairperson Demetri Qually, who admits that the building needs work, insists that it is not because of neglect that the building looks this way. He says the building faces the constant onslaught of the southeaster wind and its salty content, which “attacks” all the metal parts of the building. Torrential rains and weather conditions on the beachfront add to the quick deterioration of the building. Qually says council has, in the past two years, painted the building three times, with the latest paint job having been done only three months ago. “Before, the building looked bad, but council repainted the entire building and the roof.” He adds that the contractor has tried three different products on the steel fittings to combat the rust, but all have proven ineffective. “The only solution is to replace the steel railings with non-rustable material.” Qually says the contractor is currently looking at sample material made from polywood (recycled plastic), which will replace the steel fittings. “This can only be done in the new financial year,” he says. “Council has spent a lot of money on this building and it receives frequent attention.” Peter Wright, portfolio manager of the Muizenberg beachfront and park for the Muizenberg Improvement District (MID), acknowledges the effort that council has put into the outside of the building. He says
the exterior of the building is “looking good”. Wright adds that some council officials are working very hard towards the upkeep of the building. But Wright says the Pavilion hall needs attention. He says the hall is not being managed well, adding that several kitchen and light fittings are not working. Wright believes that the reason the hall is not being “used to its full potential” is because it is not up to standard. “The hall was built as a multipurpose hall which can host events from boxing matches to orchestra performances.” The Pavilion has also been labelled a “white elephant” by the False Bay Tourism and Business Association (FBTBA). The Pavilion was built in 1981 and can accommodate restaurants, but is currently occupied only by officials from the City of Cape Town. Gerald Musikanth, chairperson of the FBTBA, told People’s Post that in Muizenberg’s heyday, the Pavilion boasted a Milky Lane and other attractions for tourists and holidaymakers. But Musikanth says when Muizenberg’s economy “went downhill” the Pavilion followed suit. The once-popular Mike’s Kitchen moved out of the premises, and the building itself began showing signs of neglect. “But now that Muizenberg is experiencing a revival, the Pavilion should be used as it was originally intended.” Musikanth says the Pavilion, which was built on a “prime spot”, is currently an “empty shell”. He says that even though events are still being held in the Pavilion hall, the process of booking the hall is made “strenuous” by council. “To book the hall, one needs to go to Plumstead,” he says. People who wish to use the hall for events must supply mostly their own equipment. Qually admits that there are “maintenance issues” which need

to be addressed, but adds that the hall is still in regular use. He says the hall is equipped with a kitchen, but says the design of the building is not “ideal” for hosting events. Qually, however, agrees with Musikanth that the building is not being used to its full potential. But making the building reach its potential requires “time, money and vision”. Because the building is situated on the beachfront, renovations would require an extensive Environmental Impact Assessment. Qually says the City’s new Draft Coastal Protection Zone Management Bylaw (“Bylaw to protect the coastline welcomed”, People’s Post, 8 February), which aims to protect the coast, will also have an impact on possible new renovations, because the bylaw does not allow further development on the shore-line. He says investors have shown interest in the Pavilion over the years, but adds that it would take a determined investor to take on this project. Qually says after several attempts to have a restaurant at the Pavilion failed, the City decided to move council offices into the building. He says there is no reason why council offices cannot be moved to another location, once a new proposal for the Pavilion is approved. Proportional representation councillor, Dave D’Alton, who is also a Muizenberg resident, says previous restaurants at the Pavilion did not draw enough customers, but says if the Muizenberg revival continues and strengthens, a new restaurant might work. He agrees that there is definite potential use for the Pavilion. Mike Walker, a St James resident and historian, says before this Pavilion, there were two other Pavilions on the same spot. He says the first was built out of timber in 1911 and boasted a tearoom and bathing facilities. The building had to be de-

E
XCESSIVE speeding by motorists travelling on two isolated roads in the direction of Cape Point claimed the lives of many animals, including seven penguins, two porcupines and one baboon, in March. The speed limit on the main road out of Simon’s Town towards Cape Point – known as the M4 – and the main road going through Misty Cliffs, Scarborough and which continues towards Cape Point – known as the M65 – is 90 km/h. But a recent decision by council to reduce all main road speed limits also applies to these roads (“Safety measures for Far South Roads”, People’s Post, 8 March). The new speed limit for all the main roads in the Far South will be 80 km/h. Parts of the main roads that are considered high risk zones will be 70 km/h. Signage to indicate new speed limits on these roads has not yet been installed on any of the main roads in the Far South. Ward Councillor Demetri Qually, chairperson of the South Peninsula Subcouncil, says signage is “due to go up shortly”. The recent deaths of several animals have highlighted the need for stricter enforcement of road rules on these isolated roads. When People’s Post visited this scenic route, there were no signs indicating the presence animals, with the exception of a few faded baboon signs. Janine Genade, a Miller’s

on the wrong side of the road is becoming a habit. Recently, after a high speed chase, an unlicensed foreign national driving an unlicensed car was arrested by the local security company outside Scarborough.” Richard Gebhardt, chairperson of the Scarborough Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Association, says the “road kill tally” is rising. He says the road does not “lend itself” to 90km/h. “The road is not built for that kind of speed.” Gebhardt notes that even though there were traffic officers on the Scarborough Main Road two weeks ago, more enforcement is needed. However, Qually says Law Enforcement cannot be everywhere, adding that it is a driver’s responsibility to keep to the speed limit. He emphasises that the speed limit is the maximum speed a person is allowed to drive, and not an indication of the average speed for that road. Qually says more cat’s eyes will be placed on the main roads to increase visibility. When questioned about the lack of signs indicating animals, Qually said he would follow up on the matter. Neil Arendse, spokesperson for Law Enforcement, says when a “hot spot” has been identified, Law Enforcement will hold an operation in the area, and more action can be planned. He says, however, that they need the help of residents to inform them of problem areas. People’s Post could not gain comment from the Traffic Department before going to print.

‘Kamakazi’ rider has shot at paralympic glory TERESA FISCHER

IDING a horse is not easy, but imagine you have to hold on without the use of your legs.
20557/24
Lakeside resident, Nicola Sanders (25), has cerebral palsy but is blasé about her riding skills. “Oh, there is a girl in Germany who rides without arms or legs,” she points out. Within days she is flying to Deauville in France for a ParaEquestrian Dressage competition, which is a qualifier for the 2012 paralympics. It takes place from Friday 15 until Sunday 17 April. Sanders has been riding since she was six, after her physiotherapist suggested it would be beneficial exercise. But it is so much more to her. Sanders notes: “Crutches are limiting, a horse is not.” She has always been a fighter. When she was born, her lungs collapsed, she had a brain haemorrhage and doctors thought she would be a “vegetable”. But Sand-
ers proved them wrong and does not allow her severe cerebral palsy to stop her from achieving her dreams. ”I almost died twice, I figure there is a reason for me to be here,” she says. She has to raise all the funds herself as the sport struggles to attract sponsors, and several pulled out at the last minute. Sanders will compete on an unknown horse that she will meet for the first time before the competition. The rider horse bond is crucial to riding, especially in dressage, where the rider and the horse aim to be perfectly in tune. “I have been saving since I was six; it’s nearly all gone in two weeks, but this is my once in a lifetime shot,” she explains. She points out that people who play club-level rugby receive payment and funding, yet even at her level of almost representing the country, sponsors are almost impossible to find. She does not have her own horse, but has been generously allowed to ride a dark bay boereperd called Nooitjie, owned by Noord-

THE Noordhoek Riding Association’s (NRA) three-phase eventing show on Noordhoek Common will go ahead on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 April despite the outbreak of African Horse Sickness. The Noordhoek Riding Association (NRA) has been holding threephase eventing twice a year on the common for many years, and the events have become a traditional part of the Noordhoek year. Three-phase eventing involves dressage, jumping and cross-country, and it is the cross-country phase, traditionally held on the Sunday, which really attracts the crowds, as the horses jump ditches, logs and banks. Entries for the April show have been halved because of the outbreak of the disease, and the NRA had to seriously discuss whether or not it could afford to hold the show. “Noordhoek Farm Village have got behind the community and saved the day They have very generously agreed to be a last-minute sponsor to make it possible to now go ahead with the show, for which the riding community of Noordhoek is extremely grateful,” an NRA statement says. The Noordhoek eventing season
runs from February to the beginning of May, as that is the time of year that the common is useable, being the dry time, and residents will notice that, by agreement with the Conservancy, most of the jumps are left up from one show to the next, as this considerably reduces costs. Putting up a crosscountry course is expensive, but does provide employment for a RIDING HIGH: Tarryn Mason riding Pohlands Watch team of workers, led by word at the Noordhoek eventing show on Avondrust the course builder, Common, Noordhoek, in April 2010.

donation would be welcome. “Just someone brave enough to take a chance on me, on my dream, which is a lot to ask I know,” she adds. Her determination stems partly from proving a point to herself and to others. “I will do anything, try anything,” she swears, adding her “bucket list” runs to 20 pages. In addition to competing internationally, it includes flying an open door apache helicopter, abseiling and paragliding. She says she was always a cautious person, but that she realised you only have one life. Also, she says her disability might become worse with age and she wants to seize the moment. “Severe irritation” at being overlooked also drives her. She adds her success is all thanks to her coach, Teri Smith, who she says is like a mom, but also pushes her to be her best. Her quiet sense of humour is endearing. Of her modified riding equipment she jokes: “I look like a kamikaze pilot.” If you can help please call Teri on 082 898 3849.

Witnesses sought after bus kills woman DALEEN FOUCHÉ
THE family of a woman (67) who was killed by a bus in Kommetjie Road is appealing to anyone who witnessed the accident to come forward with information that could help an investigation into the matter. The woman was hit by the bus on the corner of Kommetjie and Lochiel roads on Wednesday 23 March (“Body left for hours at roadside”, People’s Post, 29 March). The accident took place at 07:00, but the body was only removed by forensic pathologists at 10:30. In that time police carried out preliminary investigations at the scene. The victim’s son, who did not want to be named, says his family have not been visited by the police, and they have “no idea” how their mother was killed by the bus. He says the “word on the street” is that the bus made a turn when it was not supposed to and hit his mother. This was only a rumour, however, and the family would like to know the facts. “Our family is looking for closure on this,” he says. When he arrived at the scene of the accident at 12:00, the bus had already left and only “a bit of sand” was left. He described his mother as a hard-working woman. “She was strict with us, but was a very loving mother.” He says she always tried to help others. Meanwhile, the Ocean View police have also asked any witnesses to come forward and help them solve the case. A culpable homicide docket was opened at Ocean View Police Station. The bus driver was not arrested as previously reported in the People’s Post. Warrant Officer Nkosikho Mzuku, says in a case of culpable homicide the police will investigate all the facts, but it is up to a judge to decide who is the guilty party. The investigating officer, Detective Constable Mfuneko Adonis, can be contacted on (021) 783-8300.

Drug abuse shock SHOCKING statistics in a study conducted by the University of Stellenbosch serve as a reminder to parents to consider serious measures to protect the next generation in a fastpaced world plagued by substance abuse. The study, which targeted 400 pupils from 12 high schools in Mitchell’s Plain, was published by the SA Family Practice Journal last week. The study found that teenage substance abusers living in Mitchell’s Plain are younger than their European peers, increasing the risk of dependency at a younger age. It also revealed that the substance of choice for pupils in the area is tik, with its use having surpassed the use of ecstasy, cocaine and crack. Based on the study, dagga smoking in Mitchell’s Plain was rated at three times the national average of 10%, determined in 2007. But while results such as these are indeed shocking, the question remains: how will authorities and the families of youths respond to this information to make a tangible difference? Even if you are not immediately affected by drug abuse, you’re bound to feel the effects in terms of drug-related crime in your local neighbourhood. The police can only fight one aspect of this scourge – dealing with the criminals who perpetrate the crimes. The state is drowning under the ever-increasing pressure of drug addicted youths, with only a handful of state-run drug rehab centres serving the broader Cape Town area. In the case of adolescents and teens, it is really up to their parents, relatives, teachers and active NGOs to make the biggest impact on personal decisions. Parents, relatives and teachers are the roleplayers who should constantly serve as a moral compass in young people’s development towards adulthood. Having honest conversations about drug use and abuse, and using over-the-counter drug tests as tools to identify potential problems, could also be considered a tool. With local pupils currently on a week-long break, have you asked yourself what your children are up to? More importantly, should you find out what you’ve always dreaded, what will you do about it?
PETROL is due to increase on Wednesday and Eskom has increased its cost of electricity by 25.8%. Petrol will cost just under R10 a litre once the price increase kicks in at mid-
night on Tuesday. Commentators are concerned about the knock-on effects of these two price increases, which are expected to filter into food costs.
With food, petrol and electricity costing more and more, consumer spending patterns are expected to revert to the conservatism and caution displayed in the recession in 2008.

Raise level of the ongoing bin picker debate IN AN SMS response, Magda (surname withheld) rebukes me for calling for the arrest of the paintballers targeting the poor and desperate (the so-called “bin pickers”), who are merely trying to survive by recycling what the middle classes throw away. There was also an earlier challenge on this letters page calling for evidence to support the assumption that this practice is a cover for criminal activity, which has gone unanswered (“Research needed on bin picking”, People’s Post, 15 February). Magda, you warn of chickens coming home to roost. Indeed! Do you want to live in a lawless, inhumane society that condones and encourages assault on the vulnerable? I don’t. In a world of dwindling resources, we face a terrifying future if we are unable to cultivate values of compassion and care at
the core of our society. I’m alarmed to hear also that you produce enough waste on a weekly basis to turn your street into a dump. Thankfully, “bin pickers” are recycling some of it, helping to save the planet from the excessive consumption of the suburbs. In the bigger scheme of things, we might see that they perform a significant environmental and social good, while themselves having to operate in the most abject of circumstances. I would like to see this debate move from superficial and uninformed knee-jerk reactions that criminalise or simply victimise the poor, toward sustained reflection on our consumption patterns and the spread of resources across various social sectors.

A DEMARCHY (or lottocracy) is a form of government in which the state is governed by randomly-selected decision makers from a broadly inclusive pool of eligible citizens. These groups deliberate-
ly make decisions about public policies in much the same way that juries decide criminal cases. The Venetian Republic was well known for the demarchical aspects of its long-standing and stable government. – (www.wikipedia.org)
IN RESPONSE to last week’s article, “Body left for hours at roadside”, People’s Post, 29 March: While I was gratified that people cared enough to question why, I also felt quite upset as I had just returned from the lady in question’s funeral. It made me realise I didn’t like her to be thought of as just a “body”. Her name was Florence and she was one of the most wonderful women I have known. She began working for my husband’s family in 1976 and was, in fact on her way to them on that fateful Wednesday. She was dignified, highly-principled, honest and kind. She took no nonsense from anyone and was a straight talker. She commanded respect. Her family meant everything to her, and she put everyone else before herself. I have never met anyone who worked as hard, or as well as Florence did. She worked for a lot of people, all of whom rated her very highly. She was such a character that I’m finding it hard to believe that I will never see her again. It honestly feels to me like we have lost a member of our family. Florence, we love you and miss you so much already. Rest in Peace. TRACY LONDON Noordhoek

Disgusting Muizenberg council offices
Open letter to the Baboon Operational Group I AM writing to query the validity of the recent decision made to euthanise the male baboon known as Fred. There are concerns as to how the baboon protocol has been followed. . Alpha male status It has been stated that Fred was no longer the alpha male of the Millers Point troop. Please could you confirm whether specific “dominance matrix” studies had been undertaken to ascertain this important piece of information? In the absence of such specific studies, deciding who the alpha male is would be entirely speculative. Unless there is quantitative scientific proof to show that Fred was no longer the alpha male, we must accept that Fred was still the alpha male, and in terms of the protocol for individual raiding males, he should not have been euthanised. . Municipal and Commercial Waste The uncontained waste at the Millers Point Ski Boat Club, in particular, is an on-going source of easily-obtainable food. Although I have seen the statements whereby it was argued that it was not the waste that caused a problem with regards to Fred, rather that the problem was specific to raiding from vehicles, I do not accept this, as I believe that the proximity of the waste in relation to the on-going vehicles stopping along the scenic route were a collective attraction and combined source of easy food. Professor Justin O’Riain makes the point that the stretch of road in which most incidents occur is a mere 1 km – within this 1 km is the City-owned ski boat club, caravan park and their relevant waste – none of which is secure from baboons. There are no baboonproof bins, nor baboon-proof cages for waste in the area. In terms of the protocol for individual raiding baboons, it is specific – if there is no baboon-proofing of authorities’ waste or commercial waste, this should be considered a mitigating factor. . Monitoring Although there were monitors working with the Miller’s Point troop, it seems fair comment that there was consensus amongst decision-makers that the monitors had been ineffectual for the best part of one year. O’Riain was quoted in a letter: “The monitors are powerless to stop him (Fred) as he simply attacks and displaces them (for the last year).” Dr Elzette Jordan, a City vet, was quoted in People’s Post: “She explains that the NCC monitors were “scared” of Fred. ‘You cannot reclaim your territory if you are scared of the animal.’” (“Protest over Fred the baboon’s death”, People’s Post, 29 March.) What steps had been taken to remedy the ineffective monitors? . Law Enforcement It is widely acknowledged that law enforce-
ment remains a huge problem, and that, to date, few (if any) people have been prosecuted for feeding baboons along this scenic route. In my own experience, I have encouraged people who have witnessed the feeding of baboons to lay charges, and in all cases it has been CapeNature that has been the stumbling block – refusing to prosecute specific cases (for numerous reasons), with the overall result being a complete lack of law enforcement. Although CapeNature proudly announced new, improved laws regarding the feeding of baboons (“Feeding of baboons banned”, Peo ple’s Post, 22 March), if the new law remains unenforced as the previous one had been, it will remain just another piece of ineffectual legislation. . Complaints It is unclear who monitored the number of attacks attributed to Fred and who compiled the case history. The current service provider would have limited input, as the monitors are not always present, so who would have taken overall responsibility for collating the case history? By all accounts, the Baboon Liaison Group (BLG) have talked about the case, but have yet to see the case history. It is noteworthy that without having ever seen the dossier or case study, the majority of BLG still took a majority vote to accept the killing of Fred. All parties contributing to decisions regarding baboon management should be transparent with the decisions made regarding all aspects of baboon management, and should be prepared to withstand public scrutiny. This is clearly not the case, as to date three males have been killed without informing the residents or public of their reasons and intention to undertake such drastic actions. . Conclusion Baboon Matters Trust is demanding that any further euthanising of individual raiding baboons be immediately suspended until such time as our concerns regarding the death of Fred have been adequately addressed, and until such time as the authorities are doing everything in their power to ensure all mitigating circumstances have been properly dealt with. I look forward to your urgent response to the concerns raised in this letter. JENNI TRETHOWAN, BABOON MATTERS TRUST Letter shortened. – Ed. . PEOPLE’S POST requested a response to this letter from the Baboon Operational Group [City of Cape Town, Table Mountain National Park, CapeNature, the Baboon Liaison Group (BLG) and UCT’s Baboon Research Unit (BRU)]. The Baboon Operational Group advised that it could not respond before the set deadline.
All road users must own the problem I AM replying to the letter posted by Doug Calvery, (“Blame drivers, not cyclists”) published in People’s Post on 22 February. Sure, it is easy to point the finger, shift the blame and fling mud across the fence. The fact of the matter is that there is blame on both sides of the line. No-one is ever completely guilt free when it comes to the use of public roads. The main reason I take particular care when I cycle on public roads is because I am also a motorist daily, and as a motorist I realise that being human I am easily distracted by my own thoughts. I often find myself thinking about things in my life so intently that I suddenly realise I have driven a few moments without even concentrating on the road very attentively. Should a pair of cyclists have been riding abreast in my way, most certainly I would have had a close call there or perhaps even have hit the one. When I cycle, I imagine people like that
driving behind me all the time, and it keeps me in line, because I realise that even at the best of times we are all still just human and prone to distraction and mishaps. As a cyclist and a motorist I take ownership of my weaknesses as a public road user, and try to overcome it by being a realist about my own responsibility when doing either. I recommend that everyone using our public roads, whether cyclist or motorist, change their attitude about who is to blame and take ownership of the role they play in creating either a safer travel experience for everyone, or conflict across the thin invisible line separating motorists and cyclists on public roads daily. We can drive and cycle in harmony, but not as long as there are cyclists disregarding motorists’ right of way, or motorists recklessly disregarding the safety of cyclists.

Why no law enforcement against wood sellers? THERE is a signboard on Ou Kaapse Weg that says “No Hawking” – but still there are people selling their goods. Is this a message to the rest of the world, who go by in those tour buses over Ou Kaapse Weg, or locals in their cars, that “we’ll” do anything we want, regardless of the “law” because Law Enforcement doesn’t care, or are too lazy, as long as they get paid at the end of the month? Those hawkers have been there forever. Yet there is no visible Law Enforcement. There is furniture and bedding visible in the bushes behind the paraphernalia. Do they live there? What do we pay rates for? Is this another squatter camp? ANONYMOUS Fish Hoek SHAUN SMITH, ASSISTANT CHIEF FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES REPLIES: Illegal wood trading along this road is an ongoing problem and receives regular Law Enforcement intervention. The author is correct, there are Hawking Prohibited signs and the wood cutters trade behind them. Only five metres of the road reserve is City land. The rest is private property that belongs to a developer who has been trying for years to develop the land, which has been met with opposition from locals. The Law Enforcement Informal Trading Unit conducts regular interventions in this area. From 20 April to 9 May 2010 officers were there daily. The private property where wood is cut
and stored was also checked. Nine tons of wood were impounded, an illegal structure was removed and tools were confiscated. Officers issued 62 by-law contravention fines and 20 traffic fines. City Parks cleared the site of all refuse. A similar one-week operation was undertaken in August 2010. Three tons of wood and tools were impounded. This was followed up with a twoday operation in November 2010, where one ton of wood was impounded. In January 2011 Law Enforcement’s Anti-Land Invasion Unit checked the private property for squatters. Only one structure was found and removed. Weekly checks are continuing. The developer has a High Court interdict in place to prevent any illegal occupation of his property. The wood traders are all from the Masiphumelele area and this is their only form of income to sustain their families. There has recently been an increase in the number of traders in this area. The City has a market for informal traders at the foot of Ou Kaapse Weg in Sun Valley, but the traders are reluctant to use it as there are already a number of wood traders at this site. The residents of the valley are also at fault as they persist in buying from illegal wood traders along the road instead of supporting those trading legally at the market. As long as there are customers willing to buy from them, this illegal trade will flourish. Law Enforcement, with its limited resources, cannot sustain daily action and faces a losing battle unless the public play their part.
A bucketful of thanks ST JOHN South Peninsula recently held a very successful fundraising Bridge Drive at St Margaret’s Church in Fish Hoek. As usual, this annual event was very well supported by South Peninsula bridge players, who enjoyed an afternoon of fun, spot prizes and a sumptuous tea. St John wishes to thank the following sponsors for the prizes: Central Jewellers, Blue Bottle Liquors, Monkey Valley Resort, Dixies Restaurant, Seaforth Restaurant, Kalk Bay Books, Quarter Deck Coffee Shop, Polana Restaurant, Pick n Pay Arcade, Olympia Cafe, Cape Dutch Nursery, Bayside Restaurant, Brass Bell, Harry Goemans Nursery, Harbour House Res-
taurant, Wordsworth Books, Ellie’s Deli and Café, Heather Maltby, Rod Baker, Angus and Sue Galloway. Without them, this event would not have been possible. And a special thanks goes out to Eve Anderson, chairperson of the St John Committee, who organised the event, and our thanks and appreciation also goes to her helpers. Raffles were won by M McJannet, A Stepto, B Tunbridge, J Sinclair, M Pemberthy, K Mee, R Conyngham, Y Loubscher, G Taplin, M Glaston, D Semple, A Pengelly and N Ryan. HEATHER BAKER Centre Manager St John South Peninsula – Fish Hoek
Another dangerous intersection THROUGHOUT the raging controversy over the Kommetjie Road/17th Avenue issue, and now the discussion on the Ou Kaapse Weg/ Silvermine junction, I have always been surprised that no-one has mentioned (to me) the even more dangerous access of Riverside Road, turning right into Kommetjie Road. Going to work each morning is a daily dice with speeding traffic. One has to pull into the middle of the road and then wait there to find a gap to enter Kommetjie Road into the fast lane. During peak traffic this is not an easy or safe task, and vehicles approaching at
speeds far in excess of the limit and dicing with each other make it even more dangerous. I have always been surprised that there has not been an accident at this intersection and recently I saw that, sadly, it happened. It looked to be a pretty serious collision, judging by the emergency and medical vehicles in attendance. Maybe some extra access lanes would help? Another robot? Am I the only one who finds this a dangerous intersection? JUDY CHAPMAN Fish Hoek
LETTERS
Tuesday 5 April 2011
Your SMSes Fred the baboon . Hopefully the “intelligent” beings who shoot at innocent baboons, causing them long, painful deaths, will also be trapped and put down. Ken . This is another tragedy caused by stupid so-called humans! Hendry . Thank you Chad Chapman for your moving letter regarding Fred. It summed up the poignant cruelty and humanity’s apparent lack of concern and lack of will to change. . I couldn’t agree with you more, Chad! Well done on your letter! Chantal . It is sad to read about another magnificent-looking baboon’s life being ended. If we carry on this way, in 50 years, children won’t know baboons at all. The law allows the printing of photos of people feeding these animals, but one never hears of anyone being fined. Is Law Enforcement too lazy? Is it easier to kill baboons until there are none left? Is the greed for tourist money too great? It’s fine, carry on, but be sure you are to be blamed for a future without baboons, as we had without whales. Magda . So Fred could open unlocked car doors? If an uninvited so-called human did the same would they be “put down” too? I hope so. HH General . A ward councillor failed to keep a scheduled appointment. His sec-
retary claimed ignorance of his executive powers and refused a return call. Is this worth R29 057? . Don’t ever judge people too soon. I always thought my neighbours were low class, but have now only realised they have no class whatsoever. Capri .History repeats itself in Ocean View. People with connections again getting houses, like those who stay in flats. Sista . I’m writing on behalf of my daughter. She matriculated in 2009. She so much wanted to go into banking, but everywhere she applies she is told that the employer is looking for black people only. Isn’t it supposed to be the rainbow nation? Frustrated mom . I am a poor, single dad looking after my daughter, who has autism. I have no car so I walk with her twice daily where I want to, even in remote areas. I am not scared because I have the right to walk around freely. I have been a martial arts expert for 55 years and if my child is in danger as a result of a robbery I will take them apart in no time, with my bare hands, no matter what. It is our lives at risk and it’s my two-year-old cellphones and my little bit of money at risk too. You will see us around some day. Leon . The Health Expo was excellent. Keep it going. Great job. Movies . Everyone moaned about “The King’s Speech” not coming to our local cinema, but how many were at the cinema today, Tuesday 29 March at 11:35? Twenty! Come on people, support the cinema.
People’s Post False Bay Page 11
. Please show more Nouveau and art films at Longbeach Mall SterKinekor. It would be greatly appreciated in the Valley. And advertise it in the local papers. Liz Dogs on beaches . To the lady wearing a blue top walking her alsatian on the Glencairn beach parking area on Tuesday 29 March at 11:10: please take a plastic bag for your dog’s turds. He cannot pick it up. Dave, Glencairn . Regarding doggie-doo. Will Mr Gloss/Glass from Glencairn please pick up his dog’s poo. I’ve been watching you take your dog for a walk, then you pick up all papers and bottles and that kind of rubbish, but when your dog makes a poo on the pavement you turn your head and walk away. Clean up after your dog. Ani, Glencairn Safety and security . In response to the SMS about attacks on Noordhoek Beach: I will always carry a handgun on me while walking on Noordhoek Beach and other secluded walks in the area. Yes, we all have the right to protect ourselves against these thugs that rob, rape and murder. They have no respect for life. . Concerning the Military Police’s jurisdiction, they have none. Their law applies only to the SANDF members and their property. In cases when they assist the SAPS, they may pull you over. Please note that their jurisdiction is up unto the high water mark. GSM . A huge thank you to the Mountain Men for their hard work and dedication in keeping Lakeside and its people safe. A word of warning to the criminals – the Mountain
Men are watching and you will be caught. Carol . Regarding an attempted car theft in Kommetjie. Fantastic support was gained from Kom Watch, SAPS and Chubb. Super service from National Auto Glass in Fish Hoek too. Great to have a community pulling together. Debby, Kommetjie . Poachers destroy a valuable tourist industry and ultimately revenue for RSA. They should therefore be charged with treason. Christeon, Fish Hoek In response . L Johnson of Longbeach Village, have you ever lived in Welcome Glen? If not, please make sure of your facts regarding Jenny and her walkies two years ago. Christine . Graham, where are you living? I was told that if I found a man at my bed during the night and I fired a gun I would be up for murder. Three weeks later, while asleep, I was robbed and even my wedding ring that has not been taken off my finger in 34 years was stolen. I have a case number, but what good is that? In one year I have not heard anything from the police. Well done, Fish Hoek police. Well done . Congrats to Pick n Pay Fish Hoek for a well-lit, spacious and clean store, with all tills open and manned by friendly staff. Other stores should follow your example, because I never see unwanted goods left behind by shoppers cluttering up your till counter space or shelves. You can rely on my contin-
ued support. Smiley . I am pleased to say that the Nutshell Kitchen makes the best pies in Fish Hoek. Thank you Chris. Main Road mysteries . Who is with the Fish Hoek Chamber of Commerce? Who is the mysterious CID? How can you ask for ideas for a Saturday market on the pavements when you stopped the braaing on Saturdays for fear of encouraging street vendors? How many members share the views of the Chamber? Get the businesses of Fish Hoek on board, and not only on Main Road. Any answers? . What happened to the veg and fruit sellers in the car park across from Water World in Muizenberg? It is wrong that they have gone! . What happened to the megabucks from the filming of “Free Willy”? At the time it was said that the money would be used to upgrade the Pavilion. Raindance . Great celebration, in every nation. Cape Town has rain, Cape Town has rain! And with jubilant voices the whole world rejoices, Cape Town has rain, Cape Town has rain! In lands far and near, they raise a great cheer, Cape Town has rain, Cape Town has rain, Cape Town has rain! Again and again, we hear the refrain, Cape Town has rain! Seaward

Fish Hoek surf live savers cel ebrate their suc cess at the national champion ship that was held at Camps Bay beach. The champions dominated the senior and junior competi tions to re tain the overall ag gregate shield.
Fish Hoek rules the waves T
HE New Balance Fish Hoek Surf Lifesaving Club successfully defended their South African title at the Hang Ten National Surf Lifesaving Championships that climaxed at Camps Bay beach on Saturday. Fish Hoek’s lifesavers dominated the senior and junior competitions to win both sections with record margins – which ensured the club of the overall aggregate shield at the 2011 championship. The champions amassed 1 250,5 points, with Durban Surf (673 points) and Summerstrand from Port Elizabeth placing second and third overall respectively. Fish Hoek’s senior men’s and women’s teams led the way throughout the championship to place first with a combined-haul of 500,5 points, while Durban Surf (300 points) and Umhlanga Rocks (239 points) finished in their wake. The Fish Hoek juniors raked in
750 points, with Durban Surf (373 points) and Summerstand (249 points) placing second and third respectively. The top lifesavers for Fish Hoek in the women’s events were Eloise van Gysen, Kendall Loots, Kim Brugman and Tarryn Brown, while Jayden Loots, Lyle Maasdorp and Dawid Mocke also walked off with several medals in the senior men’s competitions. The lifesavers in the junior divisions were Kirsten Flanagan, Jodie Cleworth, Amy Hare, Lisa Cowling (junior women), with Keenan O’Shea, Nicholas Notten, Dominic Notton, Craig Flanagan and Thomas Nel (junior men) also enjoying several successes. Richard Alford, the chairperson of the surf livesaving club, said that the team has the potential to not only dominate in South Africa but also at international level. “We are aiming for a top three place at the World Championships in Australia in 2012,” said Alford.
