PAMPOENKRAAL UPGRADE AND EN ROUTE LAUNCH: DELAYED BY DISPUTE, STORM
Festival ‘on route’ ESMÉ ERASMUS
@erasmusesme
T
he official opening of the Pampoenkraal Heritage Square upgrade project, as well as the launch of the new Durbanville En Route initiative, have suffered a blow. The opening of the R10 million upgrade project by Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille was supposed to happen this Friday 23 June to coincide with the Durbanville En Route Winter Festival taking place from 23
to 30 June. On the one hand, the more than fourmonth delay in the project – partially due to the pending litigation between the City of Cape Town and the contractor – is being blamed for the postponement of the official opening to 30 June. On the other hand, the festival literally suffered a blow due to the damage to the Durbanville Town Hall during the storm on Wednesday 7 June, which resulted in the cancellation of all events – mostly markets – planned in the town hall.
Some gallery windows were blown out in the storm, while the ceiling above the stage was also damaged and other water damage also occurred, says Councillor Theresa Uys. Despite these hurdles, the programme on the rest of the routes will continue. The Winter Festival will be officially opened with an opening parade on Saturday 24 June from the town hall through Wellington Road. It will start at 08:00. The Durbanville En Route initiative consists of different tourist routes, including the existing Durbanville wine route, an arts
and culture route, a cycling route, a restaurant and coffee shop route, as well as a caring route. More routes can be added at a later stage. Durbanville En Route originated from the tourist indaba hosted by the City of Cape Town’s Tourism Department in June last year. “The need was then identified to promote local businesses, arts and culture. Cape Town Tourism made a video that was posted on social media to promote the Durbanville Valley. V To page 2.
