SIMON’S TOWN
Heaps on historical line NICOLE MCCAIN @nickymccain
S
uspended rail services in Simon’s Town have locals worried about the longterm impact on their area. The railway line has been closed since the end of last year due to sand drifting across the track, and the closure is affecting residents, businesses, navy personnel and tourists, locals claim. Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott says the sand on the tracks in the section of railway line Fish Hoek-Sunny Cove-GlencairnSimon’s Town “has been a long-standing issue similar to Baden Powell Drive being covered with sand during windy periods”.
“Due to its proximity to the sea, this stretch of railway line is no stranger to the impact of spring/high tide and the buffeting of coastal winds. Periodic remedial work as a result of weather conditions (sand and/or seawater ingress) is invariably subject to environmental compliance.” Up to 500 commuters rely on the peak hour service between the two stations, says Scott. Simon’s Town Civic Association spokesperson, Merle Evertse, says the closure is affecting local businesses and residents. “I had always hoped for one or two premier class carriages that would be more upmarket for people who wanted a safe way to travel from Muizenberg to Simon’s Town, as this is a huge tourist attraction in Cape
Town,” she says. “I think if the above were in place, more people would use the train. With our roads being overloaded with cars, this could alleviate a lot of problems for the roads planning department as well.” In addition, concerns have been raised that the lack of use of the station building may leave it in disrepair. Simon’s Town Historical Society vicechairperson, David Erickson, says: “There are valid concerns about not just the integrity of the station buildings, but the general infrastructure at Simon’s Town Railway Station. Even well before the station was closed to trains due to the sand invasion, there were clear signs of neglect.” The railway has a strong historical link
for Simon’s Town, Erickson explains. “The construction of the railway extension from Kalk Bay to Simon’s Town took one year, despite the difficult terrain to be crossed. The first train to arrive at the new Simon’s Town Station was greeted on 1 December 1890 by the entire town.” “The Simon’s Town Historical Society supports any initiative that will conserve the station buildings, for the benefit of future generations. Some of the buildings are underused or even unused – perhaps these could be repurposed to establish an exhibition of the history of the Cape Town to Simon’s Town railway – an added attraction for tourists and schoolchildren.

“However, it is of vital importance that the trains themselves are re-established and kept running reliably,” Erickson says. “It is a great shame that the steam train (which used to run over weekends) has ceased the service to Simon’s Town because of the unreliability of the track. Also, the highly popular ‘edu-train’ used to bring schoolchildren from all over the Western Cape in a purpose-designed set of carriages, which were effectively travelling classrooms, complete with video projection facilities – but it has now been several years since this was last spotted in Simon’s Town.” Documentation supplied by Erickson shows that the Simon’s Town Civic Association complained about the cessation of train services into Simon’s Town in 2010. “This is hugely detrimental to a town that relies upon tourist trade, and it makes life very difficult for the hundreds of navy per-
sonnel and dockyard workers who commute into Simon’s Town each day.” According to Scott, during rail closures the train service is replaced by a bus shuttle. “As a State-owned entity, Prasa (and Metrorail) must procure contractors compliant with Treasury regulations and Prasa supply chain policy. The ingress of sand is being tackled two ways: in the short term the new contract would ensure the permanent presence of a contractor to clean sand off the tracks as soon as ingress starts,” she says. “In the longer term, the redesign of the current wall will assist. This process is, however, reliant on due process to be followed with regard to environmental impact assessments and heritage requirements.” Scott did not give a timeframe for when the sand would be cleared.

A history of water
Beach safety buoyed NICOLE MCCAIN @nickymccain
A
new campaign is encouraging beachgoers to practice safety by using pink buoys located on some of the City’s most popular beaches. The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) has been rolling out a campaign to have pink flotation buoys placed at popular swimming spots along the coast. The Pink Rescue Flotation Buoy Campaign, which sees the buoy and a sign with rescue instructions and emergency contact numbers installed at beaches, is part of the extensive National Drowning Prevention Campaign spearheaded by the NSRI. These flotation buoys are pink, unique to the NSRI, and easily identifiable and easy to spot in the surf by responding rescue resources, says Andrew Ingram, head of the NSRI’s National Drowning Prevention Campaign. “We have been looking for a way of educating people about the risks of an untrained person going to the rescue of someone else without flotation – and of trying to make those who decide to do this, safer,” says Ingram. “We heard of a similar campaign that has been running in Hawaii where 300 rescue flotation devices are out at beaches, and they have recorded over 150 successful peer rescues. Our pink torpedo buoys are highly visible and not used by anyone else. They provide emergency flotation for a person in difficulty and will also assist someone who decides to swim out and assist someone in difficulty. Despite rescue organisations saying it is dangerous to get into the water
to help someone, people still do it. So we figured that if we put emergency flotation buoys at dangerous spots, we may be able to reinforce that people should not get in the water – rather throw the buoy to the person who needs help. But if the person who wants to help decides to swim, at least they will have a flotation device with them.” The campaign started along the Southern Cape coastline last year, as well as on parts of the Eastern Cape coastline. The buoys have since been placed at Cape Point, Camps Bay, Glen Beach, Melkbosstrand and Dapatt FACTORY OUTLET

se Gat, says Ingram. The NSRI is in the process of placing the buoys at Kalk Bay, Seafourth, Scarbourgh, Glencairn, Table View, Big Bay, Noordhoek, Muizenberg, Strand, Kleinbaai, Eerstesteen, Holbaai, Kreeftebaai, Silverstroomstrand and Milnerton Aquatic Club. The campaign is already showing success, with a man having been rescued at Melkbosstrand by two surfers using a pink buoy. Along the coastline, five people have already been successfully rescued with a pink buoy, says Ingram.

Eight life-sized rhino sculptures are on display in Cape Town.
CONSERVATION
Rhinos to invade E
ight life-sized rhino sculptures are wowing the crowds at the V&A Waterfront and Cape Town International Airport. The sculptures form part of a campaign to raise funds for, and spread awareness of, the plight of South Africa’s endangered rhinos. Talented artists transformed the first nine life-sized blank rhino sculptures into valuable works of art. The first sculptures have been taken on a roadshow, which started in April last year. In December there will be a three-month long world-class outdoor art exhibition, which will feature 60 or more life-sized painted rhino sculptures, which will be exhibited on street corners and in parks and public spaces all around the City. Eight of these uniquely painted sculptures will make their appearance at the
Wednesday 31 January
Cape Town Carnival on Saturday 17 March and at the World Travel Market Conference at the CTICC in April. These rhino ambassadors have already been doing the rounds at well-visited events at the CTICC, the Cape Town Stadium and other attractions, including the Two Oceans Aquarium. Janice Ashby, founder of The Rhinos Are Coming, is appealing to organisations and individuals to get involved by sponsoring a rhino. “The Rhinos are Coming exhibition will promote Cape Town as a top tourist destination and an international centre for the arts. It will offer local artists the opportunity to showcase their work to an audience of hundreds of thousands while inviting the general public to join the war on poaching and to help save our rhinos.”

FAR SOUTH
Water plans start to well up NICOLE MCCAIN @nickymccain
F
ar South residents have halved their water consumption over the last six months – but there’s still more work to be done. This was discussed at a recent subcouncil 19 meeting, where the South Peninsula Water Task Team presented to councillors the plans in preparation for the taps running dry. Residents have reduced the total consumption of the Far South from 20 megalitres per day to 10 megalitres per day; howev-
er, the aim is to bring the area’s consumption down to six megalitres per day, says subcouncil chairperson, Felicity Purchase. “We can do more,” she says. “We need to raise money for additional boreholes in the Far South to make us completely resilient.” Removing as many water users from the grid as possible is just one way the South Peninsula Water Task Team is looking at coping with the continuing drought. A number of schools and the False Bay Hospital have already drilled boreholes, Purchase adds.
Another plan is to drill boreholes at Red Hill to supplement treatable water. Areas in Sunnydale and Noordhoek have also been identified, which could give good returns if boreholes are drilled, Purchase says. The task team is also working on a project to provide water tanks for the Happy Valley area, courtesy of a generous donation by a local resident, to limit their potable water usage, Purchase explains. All such similar projects are encouraged. From Thursday 1 February water users will be required to use no more than 50 litres

In addition, residents are encouraged to limit the use of wellpoints and boreholes for the next 150 days, which includes not watering their lawns, Purchase says. The City of Cape Town is currently working on a number of augmentation projects, including groundwater abstraction from the three aquifers around Cape Town, the three desalination plants at Monwabisi, Strandfontein and the V&A Waterfront (private), and the recycling of wastewater.

The public are urged to make mental wellbeing a priority, and to make this happen they need to look at their physical wellbeing. All too often, mental health takes a back seat – but a growing body of evidence shows that the state of our minds is intricately linked with that of our bodies. Director of Hope House Counselling Centre in Bergvliet, Judy Strickland, says the stress of going back to work, along with the familial and financial pressure many face after the festive season, may already be putting strain on people’s mental health. “Not addressing these pressures and neglecting mental health can predispose one to various illnesses, as well as negatively impact on relationships and performance at home and work,” she says According to Strickland, there are a number of ways in which one can promote mental wellness. “Setting aside enough time for close friends, practising putting boundaries in place, taking regular short walks and getting plenty of sleep are all ways in which we can boost our mental health,” she says. Strickland also stresses that seeking the services of a counsellor or therapist
Water needed for animals While thousands of people across the City prepare for Day Zero, the Animal Welfare Society of South Africa (AWS) in Philippi is calling on the private sector to support their water campaign for the sake of animals at the shelter. The organisation is relying on donations from the public for bottled water, buckets or any other items that can help
can be very beneficial. “Whether under short-term stress or working through a longer term concern, setting aside time to talk about your mental health with a professional can be helpful.” These services are practised under the condition of anonymity and practitioners are trained to assist with grief, conflict, relationships, trauma and general stress. For many South Africans, the cost of therapy is a deterrent and a barrier to seeking help. Appointments can cost upwards of R450 an hour, and accessing State services can be difficult to arrange around work and family commitments. This problem inspired Hope House to offer donation-based counselling to everyone from the age of three upwards. “We don’t turn anyone away, but do rely on donations from those who can afford them in order to keep our centres running,” says Strickland. In addition to their counselling services, Hope House runs substance abuse prevention and intervention programmes in schools across Cape Town, and provides training and fieldwork experience for lay counsellors.

PEERS CAVE
Unlocking the find of a century
T
he town of Fish Hoek may be 100 years old, but there were people making the valley their home hundreds of years earlier. Some of these early inhabitants lived in
one of Fish Hoek’s landmarks – Peers Cave. The cave was discovered in the 1920s by Fish Hoek resident Victor Peers (after whom the cave is named) and his son Bertie.
Victor was born in Australia, where the family lived on a farm, and he grew up with an interest in plants. When the South African War broke out in 1899, he joined the army and was part of the Australian contingent sent to support the British troops. He was wounded and sent to the Cape to recover, and as his strength returned he walked in the mountains around Cape Town and discovered the Cape flora. When he was repatriated at the end of the war, he married and emigrated to Cape Town with his young wife, Bella, and settled in Wynberg. He took a job with the railways, working in the ticket office at Cape Town Station. In 1920 Victor and Bella Peers, with their son Bertie and daughter Dulcie, moved to the new village of Fish Hoek where they built a house in Fifth Avenue. Bertie inherited his love of nature from Victor and devoted all his spare time to animals – and particularly snakes.
Exploration In 1926, the father and son began exploring a sand dune that dominated the valley, rising up over 122m. A series of shifting dunes led up from the beach to the foot of this highest sandhill and this is where they found a shallow, ledge-shaped cave. What was then known as the Schildergat Cave housed an assortment of seashells and bones, nearly all covered. The cave became the father and son’s new passion and it was not long before they came across early stone tools while sifting through the shells and rubble.

Victor took his discoveries to the University of Cape Town where John Goodwin, the first South African to train as an archaeologist, was busy establishing the Department of Archaeology. As there was no qualified archaeologist available to excavate the cave, Victor and Bertie were instructed in archaeological techniques. After a practice dig in a cave above Kalk Bay, they spent all their spare time over the next two years working in the cave. The pair discovered fragments of woven reeds, mother-of-pearl ornaments, pieces of rope, bone awls and arrow points, stone choppers of a crude, shell-opening type, bored stones, beads of ostrich eggshell, and other objects showing that these people led the life of Strandlopers or Beachcombers. As the excavation progressed they uncovered a shell midden up to one and a half metres thick and several thousand years old. The remains of six people – two women and four children – were buried below this layer and with them were found ostrich eggshell beads, shell pendants and a piece of rusted European iron.
Digging deeper This find drove the father and son to excavate deeper, and they discovered a lower strata. By now father and son realised they could no longer continue unaided – the lower stratum and the rock would have to be blasted by professional means – and so there was an interruption in their labours from February 1928 while they reassessed the whole project and prepared themselves in every way for what might lie in store by studying and perfecting modern archaeology techniques. In this strata, the Peers made even more important discoveries: a few rough specimens of implements belonging to the Stellenbosch period of the Earlier Stone Age, dated at around half a million years ago. However, their most exciting find was a small skull that was to bring these two amateur archaeologists world fame in 1929. The skull, which lay at a greater depth than any other and was almost blackened with age, had notabale differences in bone structure to the previous remains found. The skull was later described as being “representative of the people who inhabited South Africa 15 000 years ago”. The cave became known as ‘Peers Cave’, and the little skull was named ‘The Fish Hoek Man’.

watches (NHWs) are force multipliers in the fight against crime, expanding their abilities and assisting them in making communities more secure. “The watches, together with Law Enforcement, the Metropolitan Police Department, Disaster Risk Management, Fire and Rescue Services and Traffic Services, are transforming our City so that communities, including women and children, are in a safer environment,” he says.
Safer communities Smith adds that the work done by neighbourhood watches contributes significantly towards building safer communities in Cape Town. “The NHW members dedicate their time and often some of their own resources towards ensuring that criminals do not become comfortable in our City. Over the last decade, the City has invested millions of rand in training volunteers and providing neighbourhood watch organisations with equipment like jackets, torches, bicycles, hand-held radios and radio base stations for their watch rooms, and has partnered with these organisations to install and share information between CCTV camera networks, explains Smith. “The reason we invest so much in our NHWs is because we have seen the positive impact they are having in their communities and the city at large. We value and thank them for all their hard work and time and encourage them to keep doing the excellent work they do,” says Smith. Western Cape minister of community safety, Dan Plato, says Docs, in consultation with various role players, including police and the City, has created a “first of

Numberous categories The different categories in the 2018 NHW Awards are designed to honour the many different ways in which NHW members contribute towards safety. This includes formal patrols, those who work closely with the various emergency services, those who assist with social issues, those who work with religious organisations and NGOs, or even those working closely with schools. “Every single contribution is valuable. We encourage every resident of the Western Cape to support and participate in their local accredited NHW to help build our collective neighbourhood watch movement, standing united, better together.” Accredited NHWs, and NHWs which have

Since we started with the process for NHWs to apply for formal accreditation, almost 200 NHWs, representing almost 200 members across the province, have been issued with their formal certificates of accreditation.” In September last year, Docs signed a historic Neighbourhood Watch Memorandum of Agreement with the City to co-ordinate their support for accredited NHWs across the City, Plato adds. “The NHW Awards ceremony, the first under the new partnership, will showcase our appreciation of our NHWs and their members as treasured safety partners. “Across the province, our NHW volunteers care deeply about safety and make a daily contribution to the safety of their communities,” says Plato.

Help fund student dreams
A crowdfunding platform that aims to help pay university fees has raised over R4m thus far. The Feenix platform allows tertiary students in need of funding to create a profile on which they can tell their story and appeal to investors to contribute to their outstanding university fees. Feenix is a public benefit organisation that was started in 2017. Backed by Standard Bank, Feenix launched an innovative crowdfunding platform for South African university students that seeks to confront the ongoing fees crisis within South African education. Any payment made to a student is paid directly to the university at which they are enrolled, meaning funds always make their way to the intended recipient. Feenix only has a 5% administration fee. Donations from investors can either pay for a specific student, or contribute to a pool fund that is disbursed to students according to a set of qualification criteria. To donate, users simply need to visit the Feenix website, decide on the recipient of their donation and then follow the payment prompts. As of the first disbursement period, which commenced in October, Feenix has raised over R4m and distributed R1.6m. This figure has partially funded 152 students’ studies and fully funded 64, while paving the way for many more. “The objective is to reframe the way in which South Africans approach the subject of donating toward student fees. As it stands, one of the main fears investors have is what their money will be used for, and whether it will be effective in creating change. Naturally, each student’s needs are different, but the one commonality they all share is their need for more time. Each student is simply looking for the means to make it one day closer to graduation. This is where the idea of buying time was born,” the organisation says in a statement.

Pirates upstaged by Eagles NOORE NACERODIEN
K
hayelitsha Eagles turned the tables on Pirates with a sound 6-2 victory in the Cape Town Softball Association’s men’s Major League competition on Sunday. Moses Molaba was in top form on the pitching mound for Eagles, striking out 12 of the Pirates batters and giving up a mere five hits in the process. On the offence it was Eagles’ Thuto Makolomakoe who caused most of the damage to the Pirates defence with a 4-4 batting display. Other performers with the bat for Eagles were Thami Ntenteni and Denzil Weiner, both batting 2-3. Levan Jacobs was the only Pirates batter able to face up to Molaba’s pace, batting 2-3. Meanwhile, Hamiltons are cruising to yet another title after easily defeating closest rivals, Westridge Yankees, 18-6. Next Sunday sees the men contest the semi-finals of the knockout competition. Eagles face up to Yankees, while Hamiltons and Pirates will do battle. In the women’s Super League on Saturday, Falcons’ young Amy Minnies succumbed to Phillies’ batting in the last inning. Falcons took the lead in the first inning when Kelly Julie scored Ammaarah Larney. Minnies stood tall on the pitching mound, which bodes well for

The hosts took an early lead via Leonard Malgas who netted from a through pass, which caused mayhem in the travelling camp. Glendene then gained confidence early after the interval and Theo Tutu opened their account with a magnificent volley.
