Securityguard blessedwith car

JAMEY GORDON

A stranger handed over the keys of his car

to Vetus Schola security/car guard Andr

Pepo, patrolling at De Helderbosch Kwik-

spar in Somerset West, with these words:

Idontknowyou,butGodknowsyou.And,

He sent me to you.

According to Pepo, this blessing followed af-

ter he embarked on a 45-day journey in prayer

duringwhichheaskedGodtoprovidehimwith

a car, which he was desperately in need of.

Pepo, who is originally from the Democratic

Republic of Congo and lives in Firgrove with

his wife and three children, says having a car

would enable them to get to and from work, go

on outings, and attend church services in

Woodstockwithoutmakinguseof public trans-

port and putting the lives of his family at risk.

However, they just do not have the money

to finance a car.

DistrictMail has confirmed the donation

with the anonymous benefactor, a Somerset

West resident who does not want his identity

to be made known. In a telephonic interview

earlier this week, the man said he had given

his car to Pepo because it was something God

laid on my heart.

My family and I were once blessed with a

car, and it is such a great feelingwhen some-

one blesses you with something you know

you might never afford. Also, we could do

it since we are getting a new car.

Pepo says he started praying on Tuesday

15October2013forGodtomakeaway.Dur-

ing his last and final prayer around 03:00 on

Sunday 1 December he told God: You creat-

ed the heavens and make everything possi-

ble. You have to make it happen today.

Thatmorning atwork, Pepo says a Somer-

set West resident, who often pops in at the

Kwikspar, approached him at around 11:00.

Pepo says the man asked him if he could

drive towhichheansweredYes. However,

since Pepo did not have a South African ID

and only a Congolese drivers license, the

man askedwhether he has a friend or broth-

er with an ID, to which Pepo replied Yes.

Theman toldme to get photocopies ofmy

brothers ID so that he could put the car on

my brothers name. The next day (Monday)

I gave him the copies and he askedme to give

himtwodays tosorteverythingout,explains

Pepo.

At 19:00 onThursday 5December, theman

camebackandhandedmethekeysandpapers

for what is now my white Opel Monza.

Pepo recalls bursting into tears and asking

the man, Why did you give this car to me

a man you do not know when there are

so many other people suffering?.

Pepo, whose brother drives the car on his

behalf, says that nothing like this has ever

happened tohimorhis familyand thathenow

feels more than blessed. Every day I thank

God and pray that He not only continues to

blessmyfamily,butalsothemanandhis fami-

ly. Im so very happy with the car. I couldnt

have asked for better.

Visitors flock toHelderbergbeaches

DALEEN FOUCH

TheHelderbergwasahubof activity over

the festive season, with the Strand and

Gordons Bay beaches packedwith locals

and tourists.

Great weather was the major drawcard at

local beaches and some business owners are

labelling this thebestholidayseasoninmany

years. Despite the large number of visitors,

no drownings or serious incidents were re-

ported.

Constable Mbulelo Mafuna, spokesperson

for the Strand police, says many children

wentmissing at the beach onNewYearsDay

but all were unitedwith their families on the

same day.

According to Senior Superintendent An-

drew Ball from the Cape Town Metro Police,

the volumes of beach-goers in theHelderberg

coastline increased compared to previous

years. Metro Police confiscated large vol-

umes of alcohol from local beaches. A total

of 467 bottles of alcohol were confiscated be-

tween 23 November and Monday 8 January,

with 158 fines issued.

Johan Middleton, councillor for the Gor-

dons Bay area, says the perfect weather

drove the surge in visitors to local beaches.

He says that although the beacheswere dirty

after the busy days, theywere very promptly

cleaned by city staff. He says the only com-

plaint he received is that too few dustbins

were available on the beaches.

Stuart Pringle chairperson of subcouncil

8, says he is relieved that there were no

drownings at local beaches. This is not be-

cause fewer people brought alcohol to the

beaches, he says, but rather because of strict-

er law enforcement.

AnnemarieFrick, ownerofTheReefBeach

Caf in Strand, concurs. She says that com-

paredtolastyear, fewerdrunkpeopleentered

her shop.Shesays itwas thebusiest andmost

lucrative festive season she has had in a very

long time.

Jeanette Loring, amember of theGordons

Bay Business Forum, says one of the contri-

butingfactorstotheincreaseinGordonsBay

tourism is the pro-active attitude of business

owners and their initiatives to create aware-

ness about the town as a holiday destination.

She complimented the City of Cape Town on

being prepared for the festive season and giv-

ing friendly service.

Poorpostal deliverya cause for concern

For more than two years I have

had to complain to Mr Scheepers

at Strand Postal Delivery Depot.

Postmen continually put my

post in my neighbours (9 Hope

Street) postbox and his post inmy

box (9A Hope Street).

Since Sept 2011, I have com-

plained about: Owen (September

2011), Marvin (November 2011),

Tembisa (July 2012) and Tammy

Claasens (December 2013).

Such an erratic service is a

nightmare, doctors accounts, etc.

just never arrive.

Impresently expectingaparcel

from my grandchild in Germany,

butfoundacollectionslipforareg-

istered letter addressed to my

neighbour in my postbox yester-

day.

I have no idea where my collec-

tion slip for my parcel might be.

I phoned Lucille at Strand Post

Office but she was unable to help

and referred me to Mr Scheepers.

According to Mr Scheepers the

problem is that postmen rotate

every two months.

If a postman can read, surely he

should know the difference be-

tween 9 and 9A and the difference

between 9 Hope Street and 9 Pas-

teur Street.

I suggest that the SAPost Office

paysparticularattentiontoselect-

ing suitably qualified employees,

as these incompetent souls are

funded by the SA taxpayer.

Your very urgent attention to

this problem would be greatly ap-

preciated. Kindly inform me of

your intended action.

Bouquetsof thanks for somespecial people

As we enter 2014 with hopes and

wishes for a good year, I would

like to present a few special bou-

quets of thanks.

Firstly, thank you to our inter-

esting Helderberg newspapers.

Get aDistrictMail or any of our

other local papers, free or pur-

chased, and more often than not,

a lovely picture of our magnifi-

cent scenery or pleasant event

will immediately delight the eye.

I know bad news has to be re-

ported and shown, but thank

goodness it is rarely emblazoned

on the front page.

Keep up the good work.

Anotherbig thankyoubouquet

for our excellent pharmacists, es-

pecially the team at my phar-

macy in Gordons Bay.

Sometimes one expects the im-

possible from our medicine-

men/woman and unreasonable

bitterness is feltwhen theunfore-

seen happens.

As one of their older clients, I

havehadmanyyears of their gen-

uine, caring service.

September 2013 saw the tenth

anniversary ofmy late husbands

last fight with the awful cancer

Mesotheleoma.

I placed a letter in the

DistrictMail after he died, thank-

ing them for their deep concern

for him to be pain-free in his final

months.

The pharmacy owner and his

colleague would, if necessary,

personallydelivermedication for

my husband no matter how bad

the weather.

He and his present team are

still just as caring.

The last bouquet for now is for

a member of that special team,

our expectant mother, Anne-

marie, who diligently dispatches

my monthly amount of medica-

tion to me. Her baby is due soon

so our prayers and wishes are

that babys arrival will be a truly

happy event.

Fishing rights

shock for

newyear

While most Helderberg residents

are looking forward to 2014, there

are many others who fear just what

this year has in store for them.

Among those who are worried

about the forthcoming year are the

many Strand professional line

fishermen who may have their pro-

fessional fishing licences revoked.

The loss of a licence will have

many far-reaching and devastating

effects for a professional fisherman.

It is not only the fishermen who

will be affected, but also their crew

members, their families, the

communities in which they live as

well as the hawkers to whom they

sell fish.

These fishermen, their fathers

and their grandfathers have been

fishing all their lives and this is the

only profession that they know.

For them to now try find another

means of making a living will be al-

most impossible.

After a meeting between the pro-

fessional line fishermen and repre-

sentatives of the Department of Ag-

riculture, Forestry and Fishe-

ries (DAFF) in Cape Town on

Tuesday, it was decided to give the

professional line fishermen an ex-

ceptionwhile theappealprocesswas

taking place. During which time

theycouldcontinue fishingusing in-

terim fishing licences.

Butwhatwill happenafter this pe-

riod is anyones guess.

Goodpeopleof the

WesternCape

I want to thank two good Samaritans

who helped me when I needed it.

I was driving on the N2 from Cape

Town intoSomersetWest in the pouring

rain when my tyre burst. I pulled over,

but could not change the tyremyself be-

cause I am elderly.

The only person who stopped to help,

wasawoman,whothenhelpedmetoflag

my tyre. She stayed with me to ensure

that I was not attacked. A young man

pulled over and changed the tire.

Thank you to these two good people

Dog finds very rareweasel ingarden

JAMEY GORDON

WhenStrandresidentBeaVenter

and her boyfriend, John Lubbe,

were woken with a start around

04:00 on Christmas Day to a com-

motion coming from the garden,

the last thing they expected to

find was an African striped wea-

sel in a scuffle with their husky,

Max.

Venter says that when they heard

thenoise, theyassumed itwas abird

in distress, but rather they found

Maxwrestlingwithwhat looked like

a baby skunk.

Luckily Max did not harm what

we thought was a skunk.

It was extremely feisty and ag-

gressive, and hissed if anything

daredget tooclose to it, saidVenter.

This also made capturing it a

task we had to do ourselves and in

the dark quite a mission.

Venter says that Lubbe managed

towrap the little animal in a T-shirt

and then place it in a cardboard

box.

They later transferred the

skunk to an unused birdcage that

they placed in their Bantam-bakkie

overnight.

Venter says that although they

wereveryexcitedabout their find,

they did not know the first thing

abouthow to care for the animal and

phoned the SPCA.

Themanwhowas sent out to our

hometocollectour skunk informed

us that it was not a skunk but was

actually a very rare African striped

weasel, said Venter.

However, according to Justin

Lawrence, a spokesperson for Cape

Nature, African striped weasels

have over the last 30 years become

increasingly widespread in the

Western Cape and thewestern parts

of the Northern Cape.

There have been numerous

records from the Helderberg area

over the last two decades, with seve-

ral found in gardens where they are

most likely chasing their preferred

prey small mammals.

Theyare ideally suited topursue

these due to their extremely slender

bodies and short legs, said Law-

rence, who reckons this particular

onewas probably on the hunt for ro-

dents.

Lawrence implores anyone who

comes into contact with an African

striped weasel to leave it alone, un-

less it is injured.

Beingmustelids the same fami-

ly as ratels, otters and polecats

they are very aggressive if confron-

ted, so be extremely cautious, said

Lawrence.

He says dogs are inclined to ha-

rass and sometimes kill these ani-

mals, so they should be kept away.

Shouldoneof theseweaselsbe found

dead, it should be reported, or prefe-

rably taken to the nearest Cape Na-

ture office.

Lawrence added that although

these animals are increasing their

rangeandnumbers, theyarestillnot

common and therefore locality

records and genetic samples are

most valuable to them.

RARE FIND: This African striped

weasel was discovered by Max, a

husky, in the garden of Strand resi-

dents Bea Venter and John Lubbe

on Christmas morning.

BRAAI MASTERS: Local braai enthusiasts from

Gordons Bay broke the Guinness World

Record for the longest barbecue marathon

last week at the Cheeky Monkey Restaurant

at Monkey Town. The team started the Mara-

thon at 10:00 on Friday 3 January and fin-

ished soon after 18:00 on Saturday, a total of

30 hours, beating the previous record of 28

hours by two people from Switzerland. The

meat and vegetables were donated to Harris

House and Huis Soeterus. The team, with

their nicknames are (from left), Chris Ingram

(Vitalstatistix), Nino Messina (Asterix), Wayne

Gerard (Log-istics), Marike Myburg (Energetix)

and Odette Maytham (Rubberduckerix), Louis

Venter (Braaiometrix) is absent. The sponsors

were Gareth Perkins of B3-IT Solutions who

supplied the CCTV cameras and Warren Lewis

from GBay Internet who supplied broadband

internet for live streaming and support.

dus nie hier van toepassing is nie.

Bloor s dit lyk egter asof inwo-

dt problematies is.

Marcel Strumpher, eienaar van

die park,meen dat solank die struk-

nie saak hoe lank die inwoners in

die strukture woon nie. Hy s as die

Stad sy strukture wil verwyder,

moet hulle al die Stad se informele

nedersettings verwyder. Hy verdui-

delik dat die inwoners in die park

Iwouldliketowishallourreaders

and anglers a happy new year.

Unfortunately it may not be a hap-

py year for a large number of profes-

sional fishermen whose skippers li-

cences have been revoked. The fami-

lies of these fishermen rely on being

fedandclothedbymeansof theirhus-

bands catching fish and have been

bitterly disappointed with the news

ofthemanylicenceswhichhavebeen

revoked.

It is estimated that a large number

of licenses are involved and that the

authorities have allotted many of

these licenses to persons

that do not rightfully

qualify and do not have

theexperience toqualify

for fishing licenses.

One of a number of or-

derly demonstrations

was recently held along-

side the Strand slipway.

It was verywell directed

by the traffic officials

and police.

When the press and

SABCwereaddressedby

Gavin Roux, the spokes-

person that represented

thelocal fishingfraterni-

ty,somewivesofthefish-

ermen present voiced their disgust

and shock that the authorities could

even contemplate revoking licences

asitwouldtakeawaytheir livelihood

and the present economic situation

insures no likelihood of other em-

ployment or grants.

The boat owner/skippers that fish

and employ all these fishermen have

steadilyinvestedandputalltheirsav-

ings into these boats, engines, track-

ing equipment and towing vehicles

which will now be redundant.

Another disappointing move, up-

settingmany surf anglers, is that the

entrance toMacassarbeachhasbeen

completely blocked off for fishing ve-

hiclesmakingitverydifficult tomon-

itor trek netting.

Local rock and surf angling was

marred by high tides, strangeweath-

er and flocks of holidaymakers occu-

pying the beachesmaking it difficult

for fishermen to fish.

A number of small- and medium-

size kob were reported. One of the

best catches reported during the fes-

tive seasonwas a 2kg elf caught from

the Island in front of Blakes.

IreceivedanotherreportfromHen-

nie Beukes of some kob

he caught on the Strand

reefs on Saturday.

Small boats that

braved the weather

caught kob, elf and

blacktail (dassie). There

havealsobeenreports of

snoek from Rocky Bank

area and yellowtail and

katonkel near Cape

Point.

The temperature at

Strand and other places

was 20 to 21 C.

The snoek caught

there were not in good

conditiondue to the tem-

perature of the water deteriorated

pidly.

News fromWillie Geldenhuys and

JuandrionPaca2wasthatwhenthey

went to the dumping ground beyond

the Canyon in the deep on Friday for

tunnytheywereverysurprisedtosee

so many bait fish present.

Williementionedthefactthatthou-

sands of bonito (skipjack) were

present on top of the water. When he

switched off his boat engines there

were shoals of bonito flipping and

shimmering on the water. The fish

sizes varied between 4kg and 5kg.

He added that the yellowfin tunny

were present but were reluctant to

take lures due to all the bait fish

present.Onlyonetunnyof45kgwas

hooked but unfortunately lost while

gaffing.Theyhad11bonito (skipjack)

in total.

The fuel for this trip was R2 700

whichmade itandexpensivebutalso

very worthwhile.

Patrick Christodoulou who also

fished theCanyon area fromhis boat

Magoofta on Saturday was more for-

tunate he had five yellowfin tunny.

Allan du Plessis reported that on

Saturday he and his crew caught

snoek, yellowtail and katonkel close

to Cape Point and Rocky Bank. Also

on Saturday the keen youngster Jan-

dre Geldenhuys accompanied Steve

Eales at Rocky Bank. They caught

snoek and yellowtail.

Spinner men must be on the look-

out for tunnyoffRooikranzdue to the

water temperature being 21 C at the
