HERMANUS - The Overstrand Municipality’s Director of Community Services, Roderick Williams, was placed on special leave last week aft er the Municipal Manager, Dean O’Neill, received a formal complaint of alleged misconduct against Williams from Mr Barry van Vuuren of the Whale Coast Business and Community Forum in Hermanus. In terms of secti on 5 of the Local Government: Disciplinary Regulati ons for Senior Managers, 2010, the matt er must be reported to Council within 7 days for its considerati on. The same secti on requires Council to decide whether reasonable cause exists that a misconduct has been committ ed or not, and if so to appoint an independent investi gator to investi gate the matt er. Should the investi gator fi nd that misconduct has been committ ed, then the process must conti nue to its logical conclusion in terms of the prescribed disciplinary process and if not, that is the end of the matt er.

Council considered the complaint at a meeti ng held on 17 February 2022 and concluded that it does not have all the facts to reasonably come to a conclusion that an act of misconduct has been committ ed and resolved that a suitably qualifi ed labour lawyer be appointed to investi gate the complaint. Council must then receive a report with recommendati ons from the independent investi gator within 30 days which will enable Council to determine if there is a reasonable cause to believe that an act of misconduct has been committ ed by the Director. Council further resolved that the Director be requested to take special leave for a period of 7 days, which the Director agreed to.

Council said they wished to reassure the public that it does indeed take allegati ons of alleged misconduct by any of its staff seriously and will act appropriately should it be found that act of misconduct has been committ ed.

In the meanti me we understand the Manager of Housing in Hermanus has resigned. At the end of last year the President, Mr Cyril Ramaphosa announced that he was tasking the Special Investi gati ons Unit to investi gate the housing department of the Overstrand.

During the past week the Mayor, Dr Annelie Rabie caused a sti r aft er the Municipality apparently wanted to unilaterally make changes to the Schulphoek social compact in Hermanus. This led to a fl ood of complaints from the public in Hermanus and it appears as though she decided to backtrack and ward 7 (Sandbaai) is now again part of the social compact. The Sandbaai community was excluded from the compact in terms of the original documentati on that went before the Mayoral Committ ee on Monday morning.

We need a radical shift in the current state response to poaching – new reportGerard Grobler

KLEINMOND – An explosive new report on poaching in South Africa says we’ve lost the war against poaching and suggests we should probably just let the species decline to the point where it is no longer a viable propositi on for criminals gangs. The February 2022 report by Kimon de Greef and Simone Haysom, funded by Norway, states that Abalone stocks are at “a fracti on of their former abundance, and the ecological consequences this has caused are practi cally irreversible given the high levels of poaching that conti nue to occur.”

According to the report ti tled - DISRUPTING ABALONE HARMS Illicit fl ows of H. midae from South Africa to East Asia, current harms linked to the trade have crossed vital ecological and insti tuti onal thresholds, and law enforcement at source no longer serves a valuable purpose in containing its damage.”

The report calls for shift ing law enforcement resources to investi gati ng actors involved in traffi cking and professional enablers of the trade, in the context of concerted eff orts to repair state capacity; shift ing the focus towards legal or politi cal campaigns at the internati onal level, parti cularly in Hong Kong; and investi ng in credible insti tuti ons, as well as alternati ve economic opportuniti es, in communiti es where abalone poaching is currently rife.

According to the two researchers, illegal harvesti ng is at its highest ever levels with record prices and a myriad of groups competi ng for profi ts, ranging from Cape Gangsters to Somali smugglers. “Between 2000 and 2016 a third of dried abalone imported into Hong Kong to the value of more than 890m US Dollars was obtained from illicit poaching in South Africa.”

The report says that although the bulk of the profi ts are made in Hong Kong, it has generated a large and highly competi ti ve market in South Africa. “Per kilo prices fl uctuate but rose to record levels in 2020, eclipsing R1000 per kilo. In some instances, dried abalone fetched as much as R6000 a kilo in Gauteng. The report says in recent years new organised criminal groups, including Somali and Congolese smugglers and increasing numbers of black divers are involved. Apparently most of the abalone is smuggled into other African countries and then transported to the Far East.

Naweekuitstappie eindig in tragedie

Daluka, soos baie mense hom leer ken het, by hul voordeur.

Gerard Grobler

KLEINMOND - 'n Man is dood en twee lede van ‘n familie van Manenberg in die Kaap sit in die polisieselle op Caledon. Dit was Dinsdag die nadraai van 'n tragedie wat hom die naweek in Kleinmond se strate afgespeel het.

Die drama het begin toe 'n vrou, wat die naweek saam met haar familie op die dorp kom uitspan het, Sondagoggend op die Palmiet wandelpad saam met haar driejarige dogtertjie gaan stap het. Hulle is glo genader deur 'n man wat soentjies na hulle geblaas het en na bewering aangedui het dat hy wil seks hê. Hy het glo perti nent gesê dat hy hulle nie wil verkrag nie, maar net wou seks hê.

Die man was na bewering Thandolwethu Daluka van Over Hills. Hy is 'n ou bekende in veral Palmiet en die seelane. Hy het al na bewering mense gedreig en hom glo al voorheen ontbloot en onwelvoeglike voorstelle aan vroue gemaak. Vroue van Over Hills sê hulle was bang vir hom en het hom probeer vermy. Daar word ook beweer dat hy verstandelik versteur en/of dwelms gebruik het. Ander sê weer die ou was bloot 'n maatskaplike geval en eintlik 'n doodgoeie siel. Wat ookal die geval, hy is nou dood.

Na die onaangename voorval met die man op die wandelpaadjie het die vrou weggehardloop en saam met haar dogter gaan wegkruip in die omgewing van die rietdakhuis op die hoek van DF Malherbe en Albertynstrate. Hulle is later terug huis toe waar die vrou vir haar suster van die voorval vertel het. Haar man en hul seun het vroeër gaan visvang. Toe hulle terugkom, het die vrou hulle ook van die voorval vertel. Sy het 'n beskrywing van die man wat hulle genader het, gegee.

Na 'n ruk sê haar man dat hy winkel toe gaan stap vir sigarett e. Onderweg het hy glo die man wat sy vrou en kind lasti g geval het, gewaar. Waar presies wat gebeur het, weet ons steeds nie. Ooggetuies wil dit hê dat Daluka die eerste keer in Palmietstraat aangerand is. Daar was Sondag 'n bloedspoor in die middel van dié straat. Daluka is klaarblyklik ook in die straat gesleep. Volgens die polisie is hy waarskynlik later weer in die omgewing van die begraafplaas aangerand.Hier het Daluka uiteindelik ineengestort. Toe die eerste mense op hom afk om was hy nog lewend, maar hy is kort

daarna dood. 'n Man van Manenberg en sy skoonsuster is in hegtenis geneem. Sondagaand het die familie van Daluka by die polisiestasie opgedaag en wou hulle glo die twee beskuldigdes sien. Die polisie moes glo keer vir 'n vale. Die twee beskuldigdes is na Caledon geneem, waar hulle in aanhouding was tot Woensdagoggend, toe hulle vlugti g

in die hof verskyn het.Volgens die polisie het Daluka drie steekwonde gehad, een in die skouer, wat waarskynlik sy dood veroorsaak het. Hy is ook glo oor die kop geslaan. Die beskuldigdes ontken egter dat hulle ooit vir Daluka gesteek het en sover ons kon vasstel is daar nie enige getuies wat 'n messtekery gesien het nie.

KLEINMOND – The Town Manager, Mr Desmond Lakey confi rmed on Thursday at the ward 9 committ ee meeti ng that 40 plots in the Hangklip/Kleinmond area are to be cleared by the municipal contractor starti ng this week. This aft er Chris Harding from the Kleinmond Ratepayers told the meeti ng that the problem was completely out of control. “Some of these plots are a paradise for criminals. You could hide a car on some of them.”

Councillor Stephen Williams suggested that in future more contractors be appointed. “Maybe we could have a contractor for each area?” Another ward committ ee member, Botha Maree had a problem with a parti cular plot, erf 6341. Apparently, the erf, on the corner of Swartrivier rd and Boekenhout in Kleinmond, is owned by the nati onal department of Public Works.

According to Maree it is overgrown with Spanish Broom and Myrtle. He said the department has been sent several noti ces but is not responding.

Overgrown plots to be cleared


KLEINMOND – Marie Elisabeth Cedras (1951 – 2022), ‘n bekende vrou in die Proteadorp gemeenskap en baie betrokke in by die VGK kerkraad en kerkkoor, by die Fynbossentrum, noodhulp en veral by CANSA se bewusmakingsveldtogte, het haar stryd Sondagoggend 20 Februarie teen kanker verloor.Sy was van 2017 af een van die organiseerders van die CANSA Relay op die dorp.Marie was 'n omgeemens en het in die 60 jaar wat sy op Kleinmond gewoon het, altyd na siekes en bejaardes omgesien. Sy het ook vertroosti ng gegee aan families wat 'n geliefde aan die dood afgestaan het. By hul eie sewe kinders het sy en haar man, Hendrik, nog drie kinders aangeneem.Sy laat haar kinders, David, Johnny, Mary, Henriett a, Samantha, Elana, en Allison agter asook 18 kleinkinders en 5 agterkleinkinders.

Marie Cedras verloor die stryd teen kanker

KLEINMOND – Die uitroei van indringerplante by Mimetespark aan die Oostekant van Kleinmond, by die ingang na Klein Berlyn waaroor die Herald verlede week berig het, vorder fl uks en die fynbos wat daar geplant is, begin asem kry.Ons het gevra dat inwoners ons laat weet wie die park aangelê het.

Venda de Jager van die biblioteek vertel dat haar ma, Elsje Bosman in die vroeë 90’s voorsitt er van die Kleinmond Tuinbouklub was. Haar seun, Ulrich, is op 33 jarige ouderdom oorlede. Sy vriende en familie het hom “Stompie” genoem. Elsje het die tuin ter nagedagtenis aan hom uitgelê en dit Mimetespark genoem. Die mimetes word ook die rooistompie genoem en elke Stompie wat sy geplant het, het haar gehelp om die verlange en hartseer te verwerk. Tussen al die oorgroeisels sien Magdaleen, Magriet en Thea wat die park nou weer tot sy eertydse glorie wil terugbring, dat die rooistompies die hele park vol staan.Drie van die manne wat saam met haar gewerk het was dr Jack van Niekerk, prof Tobie Erasmus en Andrew Theunissen (0om Andrew) wat nou onlangs na baie jare diens by die munisipaliteit afgetree het.

Thea Brink het die volgende beskrywing op die facebookblad Kleinmond Fynbos

Mimetespark se fynbos begin asem kry

gegee:Mimetes cucullatus of rooistompie, 'n lid van die Protea-familie. Hulle blomtyd staan nou einde se kant toe, maar die blare wat soos vlammetjies in die laatmiddagson glim, bly maar mooi. Die blomme van die Mimetes-genus

is anders as dié van die ander genera van die Protea-familie. Die wit kwassies wat tussen die rooi blare uitsteek is groepies van 4 tot 7 klein blommetjies. Elke kwassie verskyn reg onder ’n blaar wat eff ens om die blomme vou. Dit is inheems aan die Wes-en Ooskaap.


Crime stati sti cs for the period from 1 October to 31 December 2021 were released recently. Here is an analysis of our police stati on’s stati sti cs for this period. Kleinmond SAPS serves the area from Arabella to Rooi-Els. We compare the latest numbers with those of the same period in 2020. Contact crimes (murder, sexual off ences, att empted murder, assault and robbery) increased from 67 incidents in the same period in 2020 to 70 in 2021. No murders and 56 cases of assault (mostly because of domesti c violence) were reported. Robbery decreased from 13 incidents to 9. The community is upset about the never-ending gender-based violence, with good reason. Other sexual off ences (rape and sexual assault) remained the same at 3 incidents. Aggravated robbery (robbery at residenti al and non-residenti al premises) increased from 3 to 6 incidents. Malicious damage to property decreased from 25 to 12 incidents. One incident of arson was reported. Property-related crimes (burglary at residenti al and non-residenti al premises, theft of or out of motor vehicles) decreased from 99 to 59 incidents, a 40,4% decrease. This is a conti nuati on of the downward trend from the previous quarter. We trust that this tendency will conti nue, especially in the light of the latest eff orts to prevent crime in die Hangklip/Kleinmond area. Common theft (theft without forced entry, commercial crimes and shoplift ing) decreased from 71 to 57 incidents, a 19,7% decrease. It is another welcome conti nuati on of the downward tendency of the previous quarter. Crimes detected as a result of police acti on (illegal possession of fi rearms and ammuniti on, drug-related crime, driving under the infl uence of alcohol of drugs, sexual off ences) decreased from 32 to 24 incidents, a 25% decrease. The total number of incidents reported to the Kleinmond police decreased from 262 to 199, a 24% decrease.

KSRA camera systemJanuary was the fi rst full month in which the KSRA camera system was in operati on. Apart from the LPR cameras on the R44, all 18 cameras installed in the town were acti ve. The footage collected by the cameras is monitored by ASK security in their control room and they respond to all the automized camera acti vati ons. There were 315 acti vati ons in January. No crime was reported in the areas where the cameras were installed.

The cameras are sti ll being adjusted to ensure the best coverage. The decision-making process for the positi ons of the poles for the second phase of the project will start soon. The aim is to double the number of cameras in Kleinmond. The purpose of the system is to monitor public areas, to react to potenti al criminal acti vity, and to report actual crimes to the police or OM Law Enforcement. Homeowners are sti ll responsible for their own private security, e.g. an alarm system and burglar bars. Kleinmond Street Watch also makes a signifi cant contributi on by patrolling the streets and reporti ng suspicious behaviour.

MisdaadstatistiekDie misdaadstati sti eke vir die tydperk van 1 Oktober tot 31 Desember 2021 is pas vrygestel. Hier is ’n ontleding van ons polisiestasie se stati sti eke vir hierdie tydperk. Kleinmond SAPD bedien die gebied van Arabella tot Rooi-Els. Ons vergelyk die jongste syfers met dié van die ooreenstemmende tydperk in 2020. Kontakmisdaad (moord, seksuele oortredings, poging tot moord, aanranding en roof) het van 67 gevalle in die ooreenstemmende kwartaal in 2020 toegeneem na 70 in 2021. Geen moorde is aangemeld nie en 56 van die gevalle was aanranding (meestal huishoudelike geweld). Roof het van 13 gevalle afgeneem na 9. Daar bestaan groot ontsteltenis in die gemeenskap oor geslagsgebaseerde geweld. Ander seksuele misdade (verkragti ng en seksuele aanranding) het konstant gebly: 3 gevalle is aangemeld. Huis- en sakeroof (met verswarende omstandighede) het van 3 gevalle in 2020 na 6 gevalle in 2021 toegeneem. Kwaadwillige beskadiging van eiendom het van 25 gevalle afgeneem na 12. Een geval van brandsti gti ng is gerapporteer. Eiendomsmisdade (huisbraak by woonhuise en sakeondernemings en diefstal uit en van motorvoertuie) het van 99 na 59 gevalle afgeneem; dus met 40,4% verminder. Dit is ’n voortsetti ng van die afwaartse tendens wat ook in die vorige kwartaal voorgekom het. Ons vertrou dat dit met die hernude klem op misdaadvoorkoming in die Hangklip/Kleinmond-gebied voortgesit sal kan word. Gewone diefstal (diefstal sonder gedwonge toegang, diefstal in sakeondernemings en winkeldiefstal) het van 71 gevalle afgeneem na 57; dus met 19,7% verminder. Dit is ook ’n welkome voortsetti ng van die vorige kwartaal se afname. Misdadigers wat as gevolg van polisie-aksie vasgetrek is, byvoorbeeld weens besit van onwetti ge vuurwapens of ammunisie, dwelmverwante misdaad, bestuur onder die invloed van drank of dwelms en seksuele oortredings het van 32 na 24 gevalle afgeneem; dus met 25%. Die totale getal misdade wat by Kleinmond Polisiestasie aangemeld is, het van 262 na 199 gevalle afgeneem; dus met 24% verminder.

KSAG-kamerastelselJanuarie was die eerste volle maand waarin die KSAG-kamerastelsel in bedryf was. Buiten die LPR-kameras langs die R44 was al 18 kameras in die dorp vir die volle maand akti ef. Die beeldmateriaal word in ’n beheerkamer deur ASK gemonitor en daar is ’n reaksie-eenheid wat op geoutomati seerde kamera-akti verings reageer. Daar was 315 akti verings. Geen misdade is in Januarie by die polisie aangemeld in die omgewings waar daar kameras is nie.Die kameras word nog gereeld verstel om te verseker dat die beste opnames gemaak kan word. Die proses om te besluit oor die posisies van die pale vir die tweede fase sal binnekort begin. Die mikpunt is om die getal KSAG-kameras in die dorp te verdubbel. Die doel met die stelsel is om openbare ruimtes te monitor, te reageer op potensieel verdagte optrede en, indien misdaad gepleeg is, dit dan aan die polisie of OM Wetstoepassing te rapporteer. Huiseienaars is steeds verantwoordelik vir sekuriteit op hul eiendomme – meestal ’n alarmstelsel en diefwering. Kleinmond Straatwag speel ook ’n belangrike rol om die strate te patrolleer en verdagte optrede te rapporteer.

Crime statistics

In die Overstrand Herald van 17 Februarie 2022 word in die berig Rotariers skenk boeke vir Kleinmond Laerskool gesê dat Krappies & Krefi es "Laerskool Kleinmond se kleuterskool" is.

Dit is egter nie korrek nie, aangesien Krappies & Krefi es Kleinmond as 'n Onafh anklike Skool geregistreer is en geensins deel van Kleinmond Laerskool is nie. Krappies & Krefi es Kleinmond funksioneer totaal onafh anklik.

Regstelling


KLEINMOND – Dirk Ace Records het op Saterdag 19 Februarie 'n derde been van sy besigheid in Haweweg bekendgestel – Dirk Ace Models."Hier is soveel kreati ewe, talentvolle, aantreklike jong-mense in ons omgewing wat sonder werk sit. Ek wil aan hulle blootstelling gee – veral vir die fi lm- en advertensiebedryf, sodat hulle geld kan verdien en ek hoop hulle word deur groot agentskappe raakgesien sodat daar 'n wêreld van geleenthede vir hulle kan oopgaan," sê hy. Terloops, Saterdag was ook Dirk se verjaarsdag en daar is behoorlik makieti e gehou met live musiek en alles.Dirk stel binnekort nog 'n vierde been van sy besigheid in die winkel langsaan in die vooruitsig – 'n kuns en fotografi e-ateljee. Dit doen hy saam met nuweling op die dorp, Lee Botha, wat die model-afdeling en die ateljee gaan bestuur.

"Dan het ons 'n klomp van die mooi dinge van die lewe hier bymekaar: musiek, klere, kuns, natuurlike talent, mooi mense en foto’s," sê Dirk. "Haweweg het die potensiaal om die kuns-mekka van die Overstrand te word en saam met die ander bates soos ons gasvryheid, mooi omgewing en die see kan Kleinmond dié toerismebestemming van die omgewing wees."

Lee Botha is 'n stadsmeisie, maar nie onbekend aan Kleinmond nie. Haar ouma het hier gewoon en hulle het baie hier kom kuier. Sy het ondervinding in hoëprofi el handel nadat sy bestuurder was by plekke soos Queens-park en Quiksilver. Sy het later as talentwerwer by 'n fi lmmaatskappy begin werk en daar hooff otograaf geword, wat ook portefeuljes van akteurs saamgestel het. "Hier in Kleinmond gaan ons meer fokus op advertensie- en fi lmmodelle as op loopplankwerk," sê sy. Hulle het reeds ses modelle en mett ertyd sal hulle meer innames maak. "Eers moet ons die foto-ateljee inrig sodat ek professionele portefeuljes kan begin saam-

stel, maar voor-nemende modelle kan solank hul name en besonderhede vir ons kom opgee."Lee en Dirk het mekaar by Die Bloubakkie ontmoet toe sy 'n ruk lank daar gewerk het. "Hy het my 'n boek geleen en hoe langer ons gesels het, hoe meer het hy gesê dat sy visie vir 'n besigheid om jongmense te bemagti g, goed aansluit by my ondervinding.

So, hier is ek nou op Kleinmond waar ek my nuwe lewe gaan begin,” sê sy.

Ons is mal oor skietMaandagaand sit en kyk ek in verslaendheid hoe daar, afgesien van die amperse Derde Wêreldoorlog op die grens tussen die Oekraïne en Rusland, 'n jong oorloggie in Rozett enville afspeel. Op die Kaapse Vlakte, verneem ek, vind sulke dinge gereeld plaas en dan praat ons nie eens van KwaZulu/Natal nie. Later die aand op BBC nuus praat ma’s van New York, ek dink Haarlem het hulle gesê, oor hoe hulle in vrees en bewing lewe omdat daar so baie mense, jonk, oud, ook babas, daar doodgeskiet word. Die vroue van Haarlem kan nie glo dat die stadsbestuur die polisiebegroti ng wil besnoei nie, want vir wie moet hulle bel as die geskietery losbars, vra hulle.Noem 'n land in Suid-Amerika, Noord-Amerika, Afrika, die Midde-Ooste, die Balkans, man oral behalwe miskien Nieu-Seeland, waar mense nie skietgoed bedot is nie. Ek is nou nie 'n aanhanger van sameswerings-teorieë nie, maar die wêreld is baie gewillig om die name bekend te maak van

biljoenêrs wat hul fortuine gemaak het uit tegnologie of selfs dwelms, maar waar is die name van wapenvervaardigers?Remington, so het ek verneem, is in ‘n waterskeidingsaak in 'n Amerikaanse hof skuldig bevind daaraan dat hulle toegelaat het dat semi-outomati ese wapens in die hande van iemand beland het wat moord en doodslag gesaai het. Die o-so-vroom Reagan regering het lande in Sentraal-Amerika vol wapens gepomp in hul "oorlog teen dwelm" Wel, dwelmverspreiding het nie daar afgeneem nie, maar ou boeti e! wapenverkope het hand oor hand toegeneem.

Daar was 'n tyd in ons land toe Krygkor uitstekende krygstuig vervaardig het, dat dit goed gegaan het in ‘n oorlog wat die regering gesê het nodig is. Toe word dit Denel, die oorlog onnodig en nou is die hele ou spannetjie bankrot. Hier dwaal genoeg wapens in ons land rond, sonder dat die staat nóg maak wat waarskynlik in ieder geval in die hande van kriminele gaan beland.

Moenie vir een oomblik dink die Kaapse Vlakte en Khayalitsha en Gugulethu en KZN het alleenreg op onwetti ge wapens nie. Straatpraatjies wil dit hê dat ons dorpie sy eie kwota ongelisensiëerde skietgoed het. Of dit nou uit polisiebewaring, bendegeledere of onwetti ge transaksies kom, hulle is hier. Dis nou afgesien van diegene wat gelisensieerde wapens het en wat werklik weet hoe om die wapens te hanteer. Ek het so in my enigheid die idee dat baie mense en kinders wat handwapens in die hande kry, dink dis net 'n geval van mik en druk, soos met die outydse Instamati c kameratjies. Soos hulle in die moewies maak: skiet, hardloop, skiet, hardloop. Baie slim.

En dit maak my siek, hierdie beheptheid met vuurwapens en wapentuig. Glo my, baie van hierdie manne, en die manlike geslag is verreweg in die meerderheid, kan nie eens bystaan as hul vrou geboorte skenk nie want die bloed en alles wat daarmee gepaard gaan, maak hulle bleek om die kiewe. Maar gee vir hulle 'n "gun" en hulle is nek van die plek.

Nou ja, aangesien WO3 nog nie uitgebreek het nie, kom ons hoop en bid hier trek 'n groot magneet oor die aarde wat alle wapens optrek en in ‘n “black hole” laat verdwyn. 'n Mens kan mos maar droom, want vrede is minder van 'n werklikheid as so ‘n magneet.

BETTYSBAAI – Die plaaslike geoloog, Jean Malan, het by die jongste vergadering van die Kogelberg-tak van die Botaniese Vereniging van Suid-Afrika (BotSoc) 'n praatjie gelewer oor wat seismiese opnames behels om vas te stel waar aardgas op die seebodem voorkom. Hy het benadruk dat hy net gaan verduidelik hoe en waar die opnames gedoen word en wat die impak daarvan op die seelewe is, sonder om daarvoor of daarteen kant te kies.

Jean was tot sowat agt jaar gelede as geoloog betrokke by 2- en 3-dimensionele opnames rondom die hele kus van Afrika, asook by verskeie mere in Afrika.Uit sy baie breedvoerige skyfi evertoning kon die sowat 40 teenwoordiges afl ei dat 'n groot gedeelte van die opnamespanne uit marine-bioloë bestaan wat dubbeld en dwars sekermaak dat die opnames in gebiede gedoen word wat nie op die migrasieroetes van soogdiere soos walvisse en dolfyne val nie en dat, voor die vibrasies begin, daar nie van dié diere binne aff ekteer-afstand van die toetse is nie.

Die ander kant van die seismiese opname-saak

Buiten die feit dat die seebodem behoorlik gekar-teer word vir geologiese doeleindes, kry die marine-kundiges ook baie belangrike data ingesamel wat weer vir hulle studies op verskillende spesies van toepassing is – nie net van die soogdiere nie, ook van seevoëls en die chokka en visbedryf. Verder het die PASA-data aangetoon dat die seelewe binne 21 dae na die seismiese bedrywigheid na normaal teruggekeer het. Daar was geen permanente skade aangetoon nie – selfs in die pikkewynkolonie en onder die seevoëls.

Ironies is dat, kort nadat seismiese opnames langs die Weskus deur Green Peace gestop is, daar aan die Namibiese kus 'n groot gasfonds deur Total gekry is en twee dae later nog een deur Shell.

As 'n mens in ag neem dat 1600 produkte van petrol gemaak kan word, en dat die bedryf vir duisende mense werk kan verskaf, is dit dalk tyd om weer oor die saak na te dink, sê hy.

Kontak Jean Malan per epos by [email protected] vir meer inligti ng.

OVERSTRAND – Die herwinningsaanleg op Hermanus het op 15 November 2021 weer oop-gemaak nadat dit met die opstande van 2018(?) in 'n brand verwoes is. Alles verloop seepglad – net, daar is te min herwinningsmateriaal en die masjiene moet soms vir dae sti lstaan.Die Herald het onlangs die aanleg besoek en dit was 'n plesier om te sien hoe skoon en georden alles daar uitsien. Die sakke met herwinningsmateriaal word eenkant afgelaai, waar dit voorlopig gesorteer word om onherwinbare goed te verwyder.

Daarna word die herwinbare goed op 'n lang voerband gelaai, waar 14 vroue dit sorteer: glas, papier, karton en plasti ek. Hulle gooi dit in lang geute na die grondvloer, waaraan groot sakke vasgemaak is. Sodra

Die herwinningsaanleg is honger en soek meer ‘kos’

die sak vol is, gaan dit na die persmasjien, wat dit saampers en in bale bind. Glas word apart hanteer.Die bale word op die skoon geplaveide werf gestoor totdat die ondernemings wat dit vir hergebruik verwerk, die bale kom oplaai. Plasti ek en blik gaan Kaap toe, papier en karton gaan so ver as Richardsbaai, Johannesburg en Piet Reti ef.

Die eienaar van Hermanus Recycling, Jan van Niekerk, wat ook die eienaar van die vorige aanleg was, sê hy kon sy hele vorige personeelkorps weer in diens neem. Daar is tans 21 werkers.

"Ons was in Desember baie besig, maar daarna het dit begin afplat. Die feit dat die munisipaliteit op ‘n stadium nie meer herwinsakke gehad het om uit te deel nie, het ons 'n groot terugslag gegee, maar daardie saak is nou reggestel. Ons doen 'n beroep op inwoners om deur herwinning hul deel te doen om die planeet te bewaar,"sê Jan.

KLEINMOND – Quartus Snyman en Russell Booth, twee Overbergse musikante, gaan op Saterdag 5 Maart in die ANDANTé teater die gehoor op ‘n nostalgiese musiekreis neem. Hul optrede is ten bate van die Kaapse Dierebeskermingsvereniging wat ook diere versorg wat in Kleinmond se onlangse brand beseer is. Hul fokus was op die bobbejane van die omgewing – die een van die laaste vry troppe in die Overberg. Tydens die brand het die Kaapse DBV daagliks hierheen gekom en die koste van ‘n veearts gedra wat die diere verdoof het sodat hul wonde behandel kon word.Some of the highlights of the programme include Simon & Garfunkel’s America; Eric Clapton’s Layla and Tears in Heaven; Mark Knopfl er’s Romeo & Juliett e, Brothers in Arms and Get Lucky and Leonard Cohen’s Dance Me to the End of Love.Quartus & Russell never exclude the music of the Moody Blues in their sets and there’s no excepti on this ti me with iconic songs such as Nights in White Sati n and Justi n Hayward’s well-known Forever Autumn – the ti tle song from the movie The War of the Worlds.During their working careers Quartus and Russell both worked as geologists for Anglo American Plati num where they were credited for a number of plati num fi nds and the development of massive plati num resources in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Nostalgiese musiekprogram by ANDANTÉ teater

Although they played together occasionally, it was only when both reti red in 2017 and moved to the Overberg that they started playing together on a regular basis. They share the same music taste and both own a substanti ve collecti on of high-end instruments. Russell, also a good guitarist, has recently picked up drumming as well but his forte remains to play the bass guitar. His style incorporates playing the bass almost like a guitar with intricated passages strengthening the harmonic

aspect of the music. Quartus is a phenomenal guitarist and multi -instrumentalist that includes violin and saxophone. He has a long history playing in groups from classical quartets, blues/rock bands to 50’s-style brass bands. He is well known in the Overberg for his performances together with his two daughters playing cello and violin respecti vely.

Please book at Helma on 082 443 2292. The concert starts at 19:00 and ti ckets cost R100.

It was a wet and misty morning with no wind when we set off to go birding in Stanford, just hoping the weather would improve which it eventually did. Nine of us met up at Appeldam which is heavily overgrown with reeds. Fortunately there is a conveniently placed birdhide which allowed us to view a variety of water birds. These included yellow billed ducks, a common moorhen, and red knobbed coots scouti ng about the reeds making their metallic-like calls. A highlight was the sighti ng of an African swamp hen formerly known as the purple gallinule. Looking more carefully on the other side of the dam we were lucky to spot two of her chicks.Amongst the elderberry bushes the cape sugarbirds were busy feasti ng off the nectar of their fl owers .In the same spot were speckled mousebirds and a

Kleinmond bird outing February 2022lone young paradise fl ycatcher.

From the birdhide we walked around the dam spotti ng a common starling, many white throated swallows descending and sweeping up and down while groups of Cape white eyes and southern masked weavers were very busy in the thickets nearby. A female southern double collared sunbird was quietly resti ng on a branch. The laughing doves were dott ed about and a red eyed dove was also spott ed.

From the dam we moved to the river under the shady trees for our coff ee and refreshments. While relaxing there, we had the pleasure of watching the African harrier hawk, formerly known as the gymnogene, fl ying over. Interesti ngly the facial skin of this hawk is normally yellow unless it has been agitated. Then

it turns red. Our group were fortunate to witness that phenomena.

Aft er coff ee a few of the birders took a stroll along the river bank where they witnessed the yellow billed kite soaring above along with the squawking hadedas. Fiscal and dusky fl ycatchers, olive thrush, Karoo prini, Cape sparrow and robin chat were amongst the trees. Time to stroll back to join the rest of the birders, pack up and head home aft er a successful morning out. Daphne

KLEINMOND – Nydia Carelse, organiseerder van die Beach Market wat blyk om ‘n groot sukses te wees, laat weet dat die mark vir die wintermaande in 'n onderdak-lokaal verder bedryf gaan word.“Ons wil graag die stalletjiehouers ook deur die winter dra, maar mens kan nie van hulle verwag om in ons gure winter buite kom sit met hul handelsware nie – die meeste van hulle is pensioenarisse wat van die huis af hul handwerk of bakwerk doen,” sê sy.Die winkel sal ook nie net elke tweede Saterdag bedryf word nie. Dit sal van Maandag tot Saterdag oop wees. Vir mense wat nie self by die winkel kan werk nie, sal daar 'n plan uitgewerk word om hul ware verkoop te kry. Hulle betaal vir hul uitstalruimte – min of meer soos 'n tuisnywerheid. "Hierdie is fase 2 van die Beach Market waarmee ons 'n platf orm gee vir mense wat nie 'n eie winkel kan bekosti g nie." Nydia pak hierdie projek aan ter nagedagtenis aan haar ma, Heather (Tula) Carelse wat op 19 Aug 2021 oorlede is. “Sy was altyd met 'n handwerkie besig en ek wil graag dit waarvoor sy die liefste was laat voortleef en daardeur ander mense ook te help wat lief is vir handwerk. Dis my beste herinnering aan my grootwordjare en die beste geskenke wat ek gekry het, was wat sy vir my gemaak het. Ons moet hierdie tradisie wakker hou. Deur jou hande te gebruik kan jy altyd vir jouself 'n inkomste maak,” sê sy."Dis 'n groot onderneming om aan te pak, maar as mens leef moet jy leef. Elke minuut van jou ewe moet betekenis dra vir jouself en vir iemand anders. Die winkel sal ook 'n facebookblad hê waarin ons die persone agter hul produkte sal blootstelling gee."Die plek waar die winkel oopgemaak gaan word sal later bekendgemaak word, maar Nydia beloof dat dit voor die winter teen April of Mei gereed sal wees.

The road to hell is paved with good intenti ons! That is what Vic Smit, owner of Camelot Restaurant in Bett y’s Bay, says he is experiencing now with the upgrading of Porter Drive between Coral Road and Disa Road. Camelot is Bett y’s Bay's oldest restau-rant and very popular among visitors and locals.Since the project was started three weeks ago by the Overstrand Munici-pality to address storm water pro-blems on this major feeder road in Bett y’s Bay, his loss in income amounts to R20 000 per day. He had to let two of his personnel go at this thriving restaurant, says Vic. “Can I claim that back from the municipality?” he asks.He is not the only person complaining about the project. Whatsapp and Face-book groups delivered a good number of questi oning comments too. Fortunately, not many residents are directly aff ected and the constructi on team is on hand to resolve access problems quickly.For business, however,

Oldest Betty’s Bay restaurant severely affected by road upgrading

the picture is bleak. Vic summarized his feelings in a Whatsapp message to Cllr Grant Cohen, Speaker of Overstrand Municipality, as follows: “We have re-ceived no communicati on and no assistance from the Municipality in any form. “We are now again at risk like (during) the lock down. All I am asking, is that you ensure proper access to Camelot via Coral turn-off from Clarence Drive and that it be properly

indicated with signage!"I appeal to the Muncipality, its offi ce bearers and staff to understand that we are actually the customers in this relati onship and that we deserve service! Have at least some respect for the community and all stakeholders! Please provide me with some form of feedback ."Vic has not received any so far. He menti ons that Ward 10’s councillor, Theresa Els,

arranged a meeti ng with the senior operati onal manager of the Kleinmond offi ce, Mr Denovan van Rhodie, who came out much later than expected and eff ected a change in signage for one day only.

Vic has now reverted to the Overstrand Herald in a desperate eff ort to save his business.

There is no need for panic about an outbreak of typhoid, says the WC Department of Health.Though cases of enteric fever (typhoid fever) are reported annually, the recently reported increase in the number of laboratory-confi rmed higher cases in the Western Cape was interpreted incorrectly as new cases These reports are based on cumulati ve historical data and no cause for panic, they say. As part of the diarrhoeal season, people are urged to follow general hygiene routi nes.Look out for the following symptoms of Typhoid fever: fever, headache, feeling unwell in general, abdominal pain or cramps, nausea and vomiti ng, consti pati on or diarrhea, a rash on the stomach and a dry cough. The symptoms may appear as early as 3 days to as late as 60 days aft er you were exposed to the bacteria. You usually start to get sick within 9 to 21 days aft er exposure. If you experience symptoms, seek health care immediately.

No cause for panicabout typhoid KLEINMOND - Kleinmond Laerskool will be the venue for

the dog show organised by the Whale Coast and Overberg Kennel Clubs on Saturday, 5 March and Sunday, 6 March 2022 from 08h00 unti l late aft ernoon. Hill’s pet food is the sponsor for the show.Some 250 show dogs, representi ng some 60 diff erent breeds take to the show ring to strut their stuff .Many of the well-known breeds but also some of the more unusual breeds will be on show. Child and junior handling starts immediately before the best in show judging on both days.

"Please support Kleinmond Laerskool’s “snoepie”, which will be doing all the catering," Jett y says."This is also your chance to meet the Hill’s team and have all your questi ons about its premium pet food, backed by science, answered. Talk to the team about pet nutriti on and pet care and gain valuable informati on and ti ps about keeping your pet safe, happy and healthy. We look forward to seeing you!"

KLEINMOND - Four years of planning and putti ng a renewable energy project together, 23 permanent jobs and a tourism opportunity may be lost with a decision by Overstrand Municipality not to approve a proposed long-term lease of a porti on of porti on 1 of Farm No. 562 situated outside Kleinmond (±13,5ha in extent), to Neon Blue (Pty) Ltd.Overstrand Herald reported earlier in February that this matt er was back on the Portf olio Committ ee for Infrastructure and Economic Development’s agenda aft er it was referred to the administrati on by the previous council at its last meeti ng in October 2021.Administrati on recommended that a deviati on from paragraph 18 of the Administrati on of Immovable Property Policy of 2015 be approved by Council to allow the municipality to enter a long-term lease at a rental amount of R8,500.00 per month.No reasons were provided for “Council’s” decision.Overstrand Herald managed to get hold of Neon Blue’s Jonathan Govender, who said he was not aware of this outcome, but suspects that the municipality wants to put the lease out on tender. However, this will be a diffi cult route to follow as the project was initi ated with a request for interest between Neon Blue and the municipality four years ago.In the report Town Planner, Hanneen van der Stoep, menti oned that the property is zoned for Authority Use,

Land lease for Kleinmond renewable energy plant not approved

which will allow a renewable energy plant as a consent use. She also stated that there are issues regarding the coastal management line and environmental overlay that need to be discussed with the Environmental Secti on and that an EIA will be necessary. A visual study to establish the impact of such a venture, especially towards the Palmiet estuary, will also be needed.From the operati onal side it was pointed out that the existi ng Kleinmond Wastewater Treatment Plant is situated on the same property. An upgrade of the wastewater treatment plant is planned soon on the same footprint as the existi ng plant and is currently in the environmental impact assessment phase. Longer term future upgrades of the wastewater treatment plant may require additi onal land but apparently the proposed lease area as indicated on the locality plan posed not a problem if it is not increased at any stage.It was also stated that the proposed solar plant would not have any negati ve impacts on the operati ons of the wastewater treatment plant.Apart from the possibility that the rental income can be increased with an open tender, there seems to be no other hurdles in the way for this very necessary project, especially in these days where DA municipaliti es are trying to get less dependent for their power supply from Eskom.

KLEINMOND - Some kind of soluti on is going to have to be found to accommodate the host of soccer clubs in town. The issue was again discussed at last night’s (Thursday) ward 9 committ ee meeti ng.

Ward 10 councilor, Theresa Els said she hopes to meet with the clubs soon to discuss possible soluti ons. There are a total of 17 soccer clubs at the moment. They use diff erent sites spread throughout town as training fi elds. This includes the beach area, the open area below Kleinmond clinic, and the fi elds along 13th street. This has left many of the grassed areas where they train severely degraded.

New ward committ ee member, Deon Brits from the business chamber suggested that the soccer clubs structure themselves into one or two clubs and then schedule the use of the existi ng faciliti es bett er. Chris Harding from Kleinmond Ratepayers said they are going to have to identi fy possible practi ce fi elds. “We need to get money and develop sites,” he told the committ ee. The ward 9 councilor, Grant Cohen said they could possibly look at the area surrounding the Golf Club.When asked Town Manager, Mr. Desmond Lakey confi rmed that the changerooms at the present soccer fi eld have sti ll not been repaired. This follows wind damage several years ago. Apparently, the syntheti c soccer pitch itself, built at a cost of more than R30m by the government is also in a bad state.

KLEINMOND – Every morning dozens of commuters gather at the Over Hills taxi-pickup point at the entrance to the township en route to their various desti nati ons. Some years ago the Municipality identi fi ed the need for a shelter for the commuters. The once neat structure has however over the years been vandalized and neglected. Now apparently it is mainly being used by the poachers as a change room. The issue was discussed at last night’s ward 9 committ ee meeti ng.

According to local councillors, the poaching is also causing a smelly problem for residents.

The shells and other waste they leave behind are according to councillor Stephen Williams causing a massive sti nk. He told the committ ee that he has consulted with local perlemoen “Kingpin”, El Mamadou Ndiaye aka Elias. He has apparently agreed to send some of his people to clear away the debris and take it away to the transfer stati on.

Grant Cohen jokingly suggested that the Municipality should maybe arrange a skip for the poachers.

Ed: Maybe a Cigar bar also while we’re at it?

Solution has to be found for soccer clubs

Alisha roep die gemeenskap op om deel te word van 'n organisasie wat nie net kla en sit en wag dat dinge gebeur nie. "Ons rol moue op en raak betrokke daar waar die nood groot is. Ons fokus is spesifi ek op Gemeenskapontwikkeling. Ons kan dit egter slegs doen as mense aanmeld en betrokke raak. Dalk het jy net 'n uur per week. Dalk kan jy slegs 'n fi nansiële bydrae van R50 per maand maak. Maak nie saak hoe nie, maar dit wat jy wel het, kan ons gebruik en vermeerder," sê sy."Dis so vervullend om betrokke te wees by Helpende Hand en te kan sien hoe mense verander as jy begin omgee. Ons is 'n stem vir hulle wat nie 'n stem het nie. Ons het tans 165 takke landswyd met 36 000 ondersteuners wat almal net soos jy ‘n verskil wil maak."

Skakel vir Alisha de Lange op 082 923 1438 of stuur 'n epos na [email protected] vir meer inligti ng of indien jy wil betrokke raak.

Wil jy in 2022 'n verskil maak?

Anton Bredell, Western Cape Minister of Local Government, Environmental Aff airs and Development Planning (DEA&DP) has invited the public to give inputs in 29 Estuary Management Plans (EMP), developed for estuaries in the Western Cape. This is in terms of the Nati onal Estuarine Management Protocol.

"The Western Cape Province has numerous criti cally endangered and vulnerable ecosystems. Estuaries and wetlands provide ecological infrastructure functi oning that are important in delivering ecosystem services. It is important to ensure that any development that takes place is situated outside of the Estuarine Functi onal Zone, to allow estuaries to fl ourish and functi on eff ecti vely. It is essenti al to balance the protecti on of these natural ecosystems on the one hand, with the economic potenti al we can derive from them,"he said.

The Western Cape Department of Environmental Aff airs and Development Planning is responsible for 15 of the 29 draft EMPs that have been published for comment, with CapeNature responsible for 14 of the draft EMPs published.

These plans are set out to co-ordinate and manage the various acti viti es and impacts that occur within the estuarine functi onal zone. For prioriti sed estuaries, this could ulti mately lead to declaring them protected areas or special management areas to protect specifi c habitat types found in these ecosystems.

Draft EMPs can be viewed/downloaded online on DEA&DP website: htt ps://ti nyurl.com/Draft EMPS. All comments can be made in writi ng and emailed to [email protected] before 4 March 2022.

KLEINMOND – Die sewe vroue van Pretoria wat die #Cape2Care staptog aangedurf het om geld in te samel vir 'n beter lewe vir die kinders uit plakkerskampe wat hulle versorg, het op Vrydag 18 Februarie in Kaapstad aange-kom. Drie van hulle rus tans op Kleinmond in die vakansiehuis van vriende. Die ander het Saterdag teruggevlieg Pretoria toe. Agti en dae is lank en 1470km is ver om van die huis af weg te wees!Hoe was dit om so ver te stap, vra ek vir Marleen van der Walt, wat saam met haar dogter Michelle van Biljon die staptog beplan en gelei het.

"Dit was vir ons elkeen 'n reis op ‘n ander manier," sê sy. "Daar was tye van verwondering soos toe ons deur swerms voetganger-sprinkane geloop het en hulle soos bruin golwe oor die pad gewemel het. Soos ons naderstap, maak hulle 'n pad voor ons oop – soos die Rooisee voor die Israeliete. Een keer was daar ook 'n swerm wat gevlieg het. Toe het ons liewer in die kombi gesit en wag tot hulle verby was. Dit was seker 100 km wat ons en die sprinkane mekaar trotseer het.

"Nog iets wat ons verstom het, is wat alles langs die pad lê: onderklere...kondoomhouers, selfone, tandeborsels – ons het selfs 'n stel tande gesien! En dan die sorgeloosheid van mense in die platt eland – oop deure, sleutels wat in die bakkies gelos word, heininglose tuine..."Ons het ook baie pret gehad. Arina het op die reis 50 geword. Sy moes 5uur die oggend haar kersies doodblaas wat in kolwyntjies staangemaak is en elke keer as sy in die kombi klim na haar stapbeurt, het ons opnuut vir haar Veels geluk liewe maatjie gesing. Dikwels het van die dorp se mense vir lang ente saam met ons

gestap en een keer het mans met 'n bakkie by ons gestop en eers vir ons braaivleis gemaak," glimlag sy.Vir almal was dit ‘n geestelike reis. Die eerste aand het een van hulle spontaan begin om almal se voete te was en hulle het nagmaal gehou om die reis aan die Here toe te wy.

Op 7 Februarie het hulle die dag gedenk waarop Soria se seun 3 jaar gelede oorlede is deur hempies aan te trek met sy naam op. Langs die pad het een van hul gasvroue saamgestap na die plek buite die dorp waar haar seun verongeluk het. Hulle het daar 'n gedenkdiens gehou."Dis ongeloofl ik om te stap – 'n mens kyk met ander oë na dinge en soveel meer raak. Ek het baie van myself geleer – veral dat 'n mens jouself baie verder kan druk as wat jy ooit in jou lewe gedink het." Marleen het my nie gewys nie, maar ek het gesien hoe vol blase en rowe haar voete was."Ja, niemand het siek geword nie, maar ons voete het dit ontgeld, al het ons spesiale stapskoene en kouse gehad," sê sy.Hulle het nie op die

nasionale roete gestap nie. Daarvoor sou hulle spesiale permitt e nodig gehad het. "Grondpaaie is baie sagter op 'n mens se voete as die warm teerpaaie," vertel sy.Hulle het vooraf gastehuise op die roete gekry wat 'n nag vir hulle sou borg. "Ons is oorweldig deur die gasvryheid en mensliewendheid wat ons op die pad teëgekom het. Ons is oorlaai met geskenke, heerlike etes en kospakkies. "Ons het nog nie ons teikenbedrag gehaal nie, maar daar is baie mense

wat vir ons maandeliks inbetalings sal doen vir ons droom om 'n koshuis vir 50 kinders te bou, 'n terapiesentrum en ‘n babahuis – dit nadat ons eers blyplek vir huisouers gebou het vir die 16 kinders wat ons reeds huisves. Ons voel baie trots dat ons reeds verlede jaar 'n matrikulant gehad het wat van haar eerste skooljaar af by ons is. Sy help nou by ons in die sentrum terwyl sy studeer. En die ander planne? "Volgende jaar stap ons weer - die tuinroete,” verseker sy.

Die hele groep na hul aankoms in Kaapstad.

Op Kleinmond se strand: Soria, Marleen en Louise.
