NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain
Ten years after the Treknet comic stripsfirst appeared in print, local cartoonists
Dave Gomersall and Gavin Thomson havelaunched a book, Tales from Treknet, withtheir favourite strips from the years of beingpublished.The popular comic strip first appeared in
People’s Post and is based on the fishing cul-ture in Fish Hoek. Gomersall explains thattreknet fishing encapsulates the culture ofFish Hoek.“Every topic gets sucked into the treknet.”Although inspired by False Bay locals and
fishermen and Gomersall’s own sailing expe-rience, the characters developed over theyears, he says.Gomersall and Thomson met each other
while Gomersall was searching for an illus-trator for a children’s book he was writing.He and Thomson soon discovered a sharedlove for comics.“I can’t spell and he can’t draw,” jokes
Thomson as he sums up their relationship.They started out with a strip about a boy
who sails around the world, but were askedto produce a more local strip for the paper.Many of the stories are shaped by sailing
trips Gomersall took, with Thomson oftenworking with him via satellite phone while
he was sailing across the Atlantic.“But I always wrote two months ahead,
just in case I died,” Gomersall says.The partnership started out when local
cartooning was still in its infancy, Thom-son explains.“When we were starting out, cartooning
was a real mystery. There was not a lot togo on or people to ask,” he says.The series grew in popularity and was
even the subject of a TV show on KykNETin 2013. The pair had to sort through over2500 strips in selecting content for thebook.They have written several other comic
strips, with some being published in Nor-way, Sweden, Namibia and the UnitedStates. Their work has, and still does, ap-pear in daily newspapers across the coun-try.
Child’s playBoth Gomersall and Thomson had al-
ways loved comics, with both reading themas children and doodling during school.“I must have been drawing all through
school,” saysThomson. “I never really tookit seriouslybecause it never occurred tomethat I could make a living from it.”Today they give talks at schools and are
always amazed at how children identify
with the characters, Thomson says.“Education through pictures is easier to
understand,” explains Gomersall, who hasbeen approached to provide cartoons fortextbooks, on which comprehension testsare based.Thomson says: “Kids were told comics are
junk in the past. But reading anything isgood.”The cartoonists have made sure Treknet
remains a family-friendly comic strip.
Just go for itTales of Treknet has been self-published
after the cartoonists found there was littleinterest from local publishers. They askedfans for pledges and sold advertising on theback cover.“The last ten years has taught me to just
go for it,” says Thomson. “Fear of not suc-ceeding only holds you back.”They hope the comic strip’s next debut
will be on the big screen.“We’d love to do something in animation
or a movie with Leon Schuster,” Thomsonsays.V Copies of Tales of Treknet are available at BookLounge and Clarks Books in Cape Town, Blank Booksin Woodstock, Reader’s Den in Claremont and Tygervalley and Wordsworth Books in Longbeach Mall.

The City Bowl has experienced an in-crease in violent crime, according to the
latest police statistics released last week.Murder cases have increased by seven in-
cidents to a total of 12 during the last yearuntil March. Cases of attempted murderhave also increased to 13 incidents and 14carjackings were reported, compared to ze-ro the previous year.The increase in the number of murders
and attempted murders is a concern, saysCape Town Central Community Police Fo-rum (CPF) chairperson Nicola Jowell.“However, I do not think it is an area that
should necessarily alarm the general popu-lation. These are not as a result of carjack-ings or house robberies, but rather personalconflict, or interaction with a suspect whowas known to the victim.”Cape Town Central police spokesperson
Ezra October says the increase in carjack-ings is linked to victims being surprised bycriminals.
“Suspects are intimidating and usuallyuse firearms to subdue the victim,” he says.
The large increase in carjackings is inevi-
table given that the year before there werezero cases, Jowell says.
“But 14 is still above the long-term aver-age and a further indication that the typesof crime in our precinct are becoming morepersonal and violent. We are seeing thetrend of carjackings continue into this fi-nancial year and we anticipate that it willagain show an increase for this period,” shesays.
However, cases of property crime haveseen a drop,withhouse robberies down 14%to 700 cases. This is due to neighbourhoodwatch activity and the licence plate recogni-tion camera network, October says.
To see that burglaries at residential andbusiness premises are down, is extremelyreassuring, Jowell says.
“However, when you look at the numberswe can understand why our communitiesare alarmed. For 700 homes to be broken in-to is deeply distressing; that is a high num-ber,” she says.
The police plan to boost crime preventionand undercover operations, October says,and are swelling the station’s numbers byappointing 35 recruits as well as encourag-ing community members to join their localneighbourhood structures.
Jowell says: “The police are continuing toactively plan and implement interventionsbased on the crime trends. It is imperativethat the many different roleplayers in thecity are harnessed to work alongside the po-lice, such as city improvement districts,neighbourhood watches, City law enforce-ment agencies and armed response compa-nies. We have seen the great successes thathave happened when these groups areworking together in partnership.”. Sea Point police also reported an increasein violent crime with 16 sexual offences andan increase in attempted murder by threecases. Assault cases jumped by eight to a to-tal of 26 reported cases.Property crime saw a drop, with house
burglaries down by 13% to 327 cases.Sea Point police station commander Colo-
nel Maehla Lento says the station has“made a great effort right through the yearto ensure that we reduce crime as much aswe could”.“The good co-operation with the commu-
nity and other law-based agencies has as-sisted a great deal in ensuring that our pri-ority crimes are reduced, which are house-breaking, theft out of cars and theft of cars,”he says.
CRIME STATS
Violent crime ‘is personal’Three suspects were arrested in SeaPoint after their car was flagged by thelicence plate recognition (LPR) camerasystem.The Sea Point City Improvement Dis-
tricts control room received an alerttriggered by a wanted car that hadpassed one of the cameras in the area onWednesday last week. The camera oper-ator immediately alerted all patrol vehi-cles in the improvement area and thepo-lice to look out for the VW Polo.The car had been loaded onto the LPR
camera network by the LPR system inParklands because the occupants weresuspected of card-skimming and ATMfraud.The police immediately responded to
the location where the wanted car trig-gered the alert andwithin a fewminutesspotted the car and pulled it over. Offi-cers found stolen clothing to the valueof about R4 000 in the car and arrestedthree suspects for being in possession ofsuspected stolen property.It was discovered that the suspects
had stolen the clothes fromPepClothingin Sea Point a couple of minutes beforebeing pulled over.
LPR systemzooms in onthieves
Adozen lifeguards have been employed per-manently and are deployed to the variousbeaches around the city this school holiday.The City of Cape Town’s sport, recreation
and amenities department is employingpermanent and seasonal lifeguards to im-provebeach safetyover the summerholidayseason.
In addition to 12 permanent lifeguardsand over 100 seasonal lifeguards, 100 beachmonitors will be working at the variousbeaches this week between 08:00 and 16:30daily for the duration of the school holidays.
Thereafter, the team will work on week-ends until the peak season, says BelindaWalker, mayoral committee member forcommunity services and special projects.
“Our intention in making the shift to-
wards offering a number of lifeguards anemployment contract is two-fold. Firstly,webelieve that this structurewillmean thatwecan continue to provide a lifesaving stan-dard of the highest quality, to the utmost ofour ability. Secondly, we believe that life-guards will be provided with better careerpath opportunities.”The provision of law enforcement train-
ing in the future will improve the ability oflifeguards to access year-round employ-ment, instead of just seasonal employment,she says.
“Many drownings are linked to the con-sumption of alcohol before swimming orpeople swimming in dangerous areas notsupervised by lifeguards.We urge residentsnot to allow family members and friends to
go into the water if they have consumed al-cohol and to report any intoxicated beach-goers to the lifeguard or law enforcement of-ficer on duty.”Parents need to be on high alert when
their children are playing in or near theocean, a river or a pool, Walker adds.
Children can also get lost on crowdedbeaches and parents are urged to be particu-larly vigilant. The following beaches willbe covered by lifeguard services this week:Clifton, Camps Bay, Fish Hoek, Muizen-berg, Kogel Bay, Strand, Macassar, Monwa-bisi, Mnandi, Strandfontein and Blue Wa-ters. During the peak summer season, thelifeguarding service will be boosted by ac-credited members of lifesaving clubs andthe National Sea Rescue Institute.
Lifeguards to ensure beach safety
Camps Bay Drive will remain closed to gen-eral traffic until late in November, until themajor roadworks that have been going onsince April are finished.Transport forCapeTown, theCity’s trans-
port authority, is spending about R30m onthe roadworks, which is aimed to improvethe road condition and safety of road users.Given that CampsBay not seen anymajor
rehabilitation or reconstruction for morethan 30 years, it was essential to undertake
the roadworks, Brett Herron, mayoral com-mittee member for transport, says.The road was expected to open in Septem-
ber, but thishasbeendelayeddue to “anum-ber of unexpected challenges”, Herron says.
In themeantime, residentswho live alongstreets adjacent to Camps Bay Drive willhave easier access to and from their houses.Certain sections of the roadhavebeenprior-itised to provide residents with alternativeaccess routes, giving them the option to
avoid the full detour via Geneva Drive.The bulk of the work between Geneva
Drive and Rontree Avenue is on track. Thesection between Rontree Avenue andHoughton Road, however, poses a chal-lenge, Herron says.“We have to re-excavate this section of
road due to groundwater seepage. Thereaft-er, wewill add a rock layer to try to stabilisethe material before we can continue withthe rest of the work.”
Camps Bay Drive closed until late November

the utility services budget, the money willbe used to refurbish the old Graaff Light-ingWorks at theMolteno Reservoir to cre-ate a new museum.This facility previously housed electri-
cal equipment which will be decommis-
sioned this financial year, explains ErnestSonnenberg, mayoral committee memberfor utility services.The building will be restored and used
for another suitable purpose, most likelyas part of a museum.“A water heritage museum would draw
attention to ourmost precious resource. Awater heritage museum may have the po-tential to highlight to our residents theneed to protect and conserve our water re-sources,” he says.The Molteno Reservoir was completed
in 1881 and is the city’s oldest reservoirthat is still in use. It is also the city’s fifthlargest reservoir (“Molteno gets make-over”, People’s Post, 15 September).A number of these historic facilities,
such as the brick-lined water tunnels nearthe Castle and the water supply dams onTableMountain, are still beingused today.Plans to restore the Graaf building have
been approved by Heritage Western Cape,Sonnenberg and is expected that the resto-ration may only be completed in 2017, heconcludes.

Local comic showsoff city centreCape Town Tourism has launched the
“Love Cape Town neighbourhood se-ries”, a collection of videos revealing threesuburbs, including the city centre.The videos are a direct response to the
“travel like a local” trend. This after re-search revealed visitors want to experiencethe places they travel in ways that exposethem to the quirky and interesting featuresenjoyed by locals.Showcasing local hidden gems around
the city, three areas have been chosen forthe first videos in the series, with anotherexpected to be made in the next threemonths. Viewers are given a sneak peak in-to the local hotspots by some well-knownCape Town residents.Local comedianSivNgesi takes you to the
cosmopolitan heart of the city centre, celeb-rity chef Karen Dudley to Woodstock, withits eclectic blend of old and ultra-modernCape Town, andmusician Arno Carstens to
the beautiful coastal suburb with the feel ofa fishing village, Kalk Bay.According to CEO Enver Duminy, Cape
Town Tourism is responding to this trendto explore local haunts by loading neigh-bourhood guides to areas around the Moth-er City on to YouTube.“We understand that we’re appealing to
themain target audience, but also that withthis new trend we can actively spread thepositive effect of tourism,” he says.Being exposed directly to travellers al-
lows local businesses, especially the small-er ones, to be showcased on a global plat-form, Duminy explains.“This will also allow for a direct injection
of funds into areas beyond the traditionaltourist routes or sites. This will ultimatelylead to increased job creation and a widerspread of the tourist rand,” he says.V The videos can be viewed at www.youtube.com/user/CapeTownTourism.
Cape Town Tourism has created a video series to intimately reveal Cape Town neighbourhoods, like the city centre and its gems like the Company’s Gardens. PHOTO: CAPE TOWN TOURISM

All roads lead toAthlone stadiumonSat-urday when Safa Cape Town’s richest,most lucrative amateur soccer knock-
out competition – the Coca-Cola Cup – reach-es its climax.Lots of silverware will be up for grabs as
three hotly contested titles will be played forin the senior men’s, women’s and boys’ u.18divisions.The battle lines are drawn asMilano Unit-
ed from Grassy Park and Young Idols fromManenberg enter the bullring in the men’sfinal.Spurs Ladies and RV United meet in the
women’s final.Ajax Cape Town and Masidlale cross
swords in the u.18 final.Saturday’s final will bring along a unique
piece of history for the Crowie family.The brothers Desmond Crowie (mentor of
Milano United) and Duncan Crowie (coach
of u.18 Ajax Cape Town), both phenomenalprofessional soccer players, have been in-volved for more than two or three decadeson the playing field and tutoring and nurtur-ing talent at coaching level. They will be-come the first coachingbrothers to reach theCoca-Cola Cup final.Adding to this piece of 19-year Coke Cup
history is the fact that Duncan’s son, WadeCrowie, who now plays for Milano United,also played twice under his dad’s mentor-ship and representedAjaxCapeTownatu.17level in two Cup finals.The Crowie brothers are delighted that
both are leading their teams in Cup finalsand would like to celebrate their moment iftheir respective club sides achieve Cup suc-cess.With a winner’s cheque of R35 000 dan-
gling in front of Milano United and YoungIdols, fans can expect a tough and tense finalin which no quarter will be asked or given.Idols coach Paul “Gazza” Johnson is
equally confident. He has ball players likeShannon Hendricks, Gareth Sims and theVigeland twins, Fadiel and Aadiel, to men-tion theManenberg side that overcameTurf-hall 5-4 on penalties in the semi-final andWanderers FC fromLanga 1-0 in the quarter-final. They are hopeful of putting up a sterntest for the Grassy Park outfit.MilanoUnited has been buzzing all season
and its mentor, Desmond Crowie, knowsthat it will not be necessary for him to laydown the gauntlet tomotivate his ambitiousplayers.“They are raring to go and will wrap up
our final training preparations on Friday,”says Crowie.Meanwhile, defending champion Ajax
Cape Town will start again as the favouritein what is a repeat of last year’s final be-tween Ajax and Masidlale. Duncan DuncanCrowie’s side beat Masidlale 2-0.The women’s final, which carries R15 000
in prize money for the winner, will most
likely bring the best out of Spurs and RVUnited.
