A BABOON-proof fence will be the final solu-tion to managing the problem in Scarborough.
Or, says Justin O’Riain, who heads UCT’s Ba-boon Management Unit, paintball deterrents in thehands of expert rangers.
O’Riain says he understands the frustration ofthe residents, but the issue of baboon manage-ment again reared its head when a paintball mis-sion by Scarborough residents came into ques-tion.
“It really can’t be easy having baboons aroundyou permanently, but this solution is a one-wayattempt in the absence of long-term insurance.”
He believes paintballing should only be done byhighly trained field rangers who “demonstratecompetence”.
“These officers then have to adhere to strict op-erational procedures. The residents shot at themthe whole day, but that very night they came back,proving that the system is extremely short-term.”

THERE is an economic theory that public spend-ing should be counter-cyclic.
In practical terms, this means that when theeconomy slows down and money is tight, the gov-ernment and municipalities should increasespending in order to keep things moving, gener-ate business and preserve jobs.
Nothing wrong with that. It is cer-tainly a time to put savings to workand even borrow money to under-take infrastructure projects.
It is also a time when municipali-ties should get good value for theirmoney (actually our money) be-cause the competition is keen ascompanies bid fiercely for contracts.
So it is not really surprising thatthe City’s income increased fromR13.5 billion in 2008 to R26.8 billionthis year. But this, according to theGreater Cape Town Civic Allianceand their researcher, Henri Wol-faardt, is too much of a good thing.
It is an increase of R13.3 billion,or 98.5 percent and it certainly does give the im-pression of a rip-roaring spending spree.
What really hurts, is that it has come “duringa period of economic recession when many busi-nesses were forced to close or scale down opera-tions and tens of thousands were retrenched orhad to accept reduced hours and reduced in-comes.”
While this was happening, municipal salariesincreased at an alarming rate. Property rates in-creases out-performed inflation and the City tookfull advantage of the savage Eskom electricity tar-iff increases.
So the money to finance the counter cyclicspending was not just coming from savings or bor-rowings. It was also coming from the hard-work-ing people of Cape Town,
The GTCA rubs in the point. “Figures from theNational Department of Statistics show that dur-ing the two years from December 2008 to Sep-tember/October 2010, approximately 800 000people were retrenched. The residents of CapeTown did not escape, yet the City’s budget in-creased handsomely nonetheless. And it is setto increase by another R3.3 billion over the next12 months. One may well ask: “Will this runaway
spending ever stop? Can resi-dents afford this? Where will theyfind the money? Who benefitsfrom all this spending?”
But let us stay with the theoryof counter-cyclic economics.Things are beginning to improveso, in terms of the theory, the Cityshould now cut back on spending.
If it was up to me I would appointa Budget Tsar to go through everydepartment and hack out thewasteful spending. From theabuse of photostat machines andmileage claims to sick leave formsand procurement.
In particular he/she should lookat the bills from consultants and the spending inthe last three months of the municipal year be-cause that is when the race is on to spend thefull budget allocation so that there will be a caseto increase the allocation next year.
In the mean time you can draw comfort fromthe fact that the Council is being watched by abunch of hawks in the Greater Cape Town CivicAlliance. They represent over 100 civic and alliedorganisations, so their eyes are everywhere!
Dear reader,
Excelling in the sales arena in today’s highlychallenging economic times, is a tall order. Adouble-dip recession has seen many business-es fold and crippled others to within a whiskerof extinction.
Millions of over-indebted South Africans havehad to place themselves under debt review.
Given this context, People’s Post is veryproud of our advertising representatives SherylHaupt and Michelle Poggenpoel, who on Fridayscooped awards (see page 1)for sales success at the WPNewspapers Representativeof the Year ceremony.
Retaining clients versusestablished competition canonly be as a result of deliver-ing consistent quality service;applying innovative salesstrategy.
On the topic of business, Iattended Islamic Relief SouthAfrica’s inaugural businessbreakfast last week and washeartened by the strong en-trepreneurial spirit that existsin our communities.
I was inspired by the foun-tain of talent and the determi-nation and honesty withwhich small businessmenand women keep going; notdependent on formal employ-ment.
I had a taste of entrepreneurship during myfreelance and self-employed years betweenjournalism.
I sold everything; from clothing and food toloo paper and a transport service.
I know how difficult it is to bring home a fewrands, let alone hundreds and thousands.
One of my clients, who had not paid severalof his suppliers, eventually had to face the musicfor his unethical dealings.
I was one of a few whom he had owed zero,because I stood up to him and demanded cashevery time my vehicle transported his supplies.
You have to be tough in business, especiallywhen you’re self-employed and have no protec-tion other than your instinct.
You bag the profits; so too the risk.You cannot undersell yourself; factor in your
labour, time, petrol costs, electricity, phone billand every other running expense, before settinga price that’s too low.
It must be worth your while; you’re in it forthe money!
On a lighter note, I’ve started running.After 17 years, I’ve overcome my fear of
running, all thanks to the Lion of Africa/IthekoSport Athletic Club’s head coach FaroukMeyer.
Coach extraordinaire, Farouk took me, mycolleague Edwin Scott and about a dozenother novice runners on the road and up thehill last week, literally.
None of us would have believed at the out-set of our run that we couldcomplete a 5km run com-plete with a steep hill. Imade some friends alongthe way.
Like me, some of the oth-er women were anxiousabout running. I had imagesof collapsing along the roadand having to be embar-rassingly carried back tobase camp.
I’ve always been a run-ner, until I was told by thecoach of a walk/run pro-gramme that I’m a walker.
And that’s what I be-lieved, but no longer.
It’s early days yet, but mychallenge is clear: train forthe next six weeks to com-plete a 10km run in the JiveSlave Route Challenge on
27 May.The club caters for beginners to elite run-
ners and trains twice a week at Rhodes HighSchool in Mowbray, meeting at 18:00 onTuesday or Thursdays.
I’m bracing myself for my next run tomor-row.

THE Cape Town International ConferenceCentre was a hub of activity with representa-tives from across the globe attending the ThirdIndian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS) lastweek.
Professor Paul Musili Wambua, representingthe Indian Ocean Region (IOR), delivered a pres-entation on the security situation in the IndianOcean. The security situation in the IOR has beenthe topic of many conferences, seminars and sym-posia.
In June last year at a seminar organised by Ja-pan’s Institute for National Fundamentals, thepresident of the institute, Yoshiko Sakurai, statedthat the main objective of the seminar was to “dis-cuss the situation in the Indian ocean”.
In his presentation Wambua said that one fifthof the world’s energy supplies travel across theIndian Ocean, largely in a west (Persian Gulf) to
east (India, China, Japan) direction. In a reversedirection, super ships carry manufactured goodsfrom Asia to Middle Eastern and European desti-nations.
“It is estimated that about 100 000 cargo shipssail through the Indian Ocean, with one billion tonsof crude oil being transported through the oceanannually.
“The security situation in the IOR is very dynam-ic and is reflective of how the global security chal-lenges have fundamentally changed. The chal-lenge still remains on how to build stable powerrelations in the region.
The best approach should be to craft a mutuallyacceptable security architecture that minimisesgeopolitical competition and maximizes mutuallybeneficial cooperation that takes into account thecooperative interest of all states and global peace,security and harmony,” Wambua said.
Lindiwe Sisulu, the Minister of Defence and Mili-tary Veterans and guest speaker at the event, ex-pressed her excitement as the symposium was
the first of its kind to be convened on Africansoil.
She committed herself on behalf of the gov-ernment to ensure that the outcome of the sym-posium received top priority as an item of secu-rity in the region.
“We commit ourselves to give you all the po-litical support that you require in dealing withthis clear and present and menacing scourge,so that you can direct yourselves to the reduc-tion of the maritime security threats emergentin your respective environments.
“We are concerned about a range of illegaland criminal activities burdening our shores,endangering the age-old custom of innocentpassage, and by association, the internationalprinciple of freedom of the seas.
“We of the African continent are particularlyreliant on the sea and thereby extremely vulner-able. In fact, our fortunes belong to an economythat was created via the oceans. Our trade andour livelihoods are dependent on an infrastruc-
ture that was created for colonial purposes and weare unfortunately still bound to this. Approximately90% of trade destined for Africa is transported bysea,” Sisulu said.

FALSE Bay is always abuzz with ac-tivity, and last week was no differentwhen American documentary mak-er, Chris Fischer, started taggingsharks along the False Bay coast.
The “sharkman” had a permit to doso, but many people felt that the permitshould be voided.
A petition was started in California,trying to stop Fischer from tagging andtampering with sharks for the sake ofhis television show.
Many people believe that tagging thebig fish and interacting with them soclose to the shore is worrying, becausethey believe the sharks become usedto humans and therefore attacks hap-pen more frequently.
People’s Post took to the streets, orrather the beaches, to hear what peo-ple had to say.
Opinions divided on shark tag-ging
NEW DISCOVERIES: “Research must be doneto find out exactly how sharks’ minds work. SoI really don’t have a problem with this guy taggingthe sharks,” says Obert Matisa. Photos: Lillian Amos
FIND OUT: Andrea Rayters says it will be fruitfulto find out exactly what sharks are up to. “The morewe research them, the more we will know, and themore we know the better equipped we would be.”
TOO FAMILIAR: Sizwe Abrahams believes thatsharks should be left alone. “All this shark divingand shark tagging is making it worse. The sharksbecome too used to humans, and that’s why allthese attacks are happening”.
STAY AWAY: “Idon't think it is agood idea for thisguy to come andjust tag the sharksfor his tv show’sbenefit. At the endof the day we sitwith the problem.We’ve already hadso many attacks”,says Quinton Mal-gas.
DO RESEARCH:“I think that if theresearch that thisman is doing willhelp us in the longterm in whicheverway, he should doit. We don’t knowfor sure whetherit’s the tagging orthe cage divingthat attracts thesefish”, says JoanLewis.
ALL FORIT: CarynOppermanthinks thatthe re-search willbe good.“The morewe find outabout whatthesesharks doand howthey live,the saferwe can beat the endof the day,so I’m all forit.”

THE gestation period for humans is nine months.Incarceration for criminals can be anything fromtrial-awaiting to a lifetime without parole.
So what to do about pregnant inmates? Shouldthey be allowed to keep their babies, or would itbe in the child’s best interest to be removed froma mother who is in prison? There are no easy an-swers.
The effects of crime are evident worldwide. Au-thorities are faced with an uphill battle to stymiecrime. Overcrowding in prisons and the ease withwhich released convicts return to old habits addto the burden. These are the known variables.
A more subjective factor would be a child’s re-sponse to being raised by an absent mother. Sucha child would be denied a mother’s touch, voiceand nurturing. Such a mother would be denied thechance to love her child and, it is hoped, halt recidi-vism.
One cannot, therefore, divorce the moral obliga-tion to both mother and child.
The psychological factor – that prison is noplace for a child – cannot be overlooked. In a soci-ety which fails so many other children – throughits failure to aid the abandoned, abused and ne-glected – should an imprisoned mother not havethe right to be with her child?
The argument in favour of inmates keeping theirchildren, even for a limited time, could be bol-stered by the hope of breaking the cycle of repeatoffending, curbing children of inmates from be-coming offenders, and facilita-ting that most basicof human needs: bonding between a mother andchild.
A study in an American prison found that of 65inmates who took part in a prison nur-sery projectcompared to a control group of 30 inmates whohad had their babies removed 72 hours after birth,17% of the first group returned to jail. Half of thecontrol group did.
The bottom line could very well be at issue. Au-thorities should weigh up the cost of inmates keep-ing their babies in prison versus that of keepinga convict.
Babies in jail
Inhumane behaviourI HAVE no words to describe my disgustand horror for the people of Constantiaand Tokai Forest. Now, to crown it all, thepeople of Scarborough imagine them-selves “owners” of the mountain. What anerve!
The owners of those mountains are thebaboons and the rest of the wild life thathave already been hunted to the brink ofextinction. You are not nice people. Youare not even people. I don’t want to belongto the same tribe as you. Imagine thosebaboon mothers and babies being huntedand terrorized by spray guns. It’s worse,much worse than lethal pistols. Thosecreatures will never be the same, onlyman can think up something so terrible.
I am ashamed of living in the same townas you people. As for Cape Nature givingpermission to use those shocking meth-ods on those defenceless animals, thatgives you an idea of the people in chargeof nature. If you want to get rid of the ba-
boons, be kind and shoot them dead butdon’t terrorize them.
I am afraid of human beings that stoopto acts of terror like this and then go homeand kiss their babies.
I cannot refer to them as people be-cause they couldn’t be. People don’t tor-ture animals! You are busy with rubbishinstead of looking after the Province whilethose vandals destroy all the wildlife inSouth Africa. People like Malema andFloyd could never and would never offendme and even if they were people withbrains, they would never offend me.
Maybe you should think about that be-fore you waste precious time on rubbishinstead of the country’s welfare. You areputting yourself in their category. What awaste of time.RALPH KRALL
YourSMSesJust a thought
. NEAG is right, even if it is incon-venient. Developers do what theylike and need to be controlled. Ihope they do have to rip the tar up.It will set a precedent.
. People won’t complain aboutthe dog-walkers if they abide by therules. Pick up their mess and con-trol your pets! My daughter’s birth-day picnic was ruined by wet dogsrunning wild over our blanketswhile their oblivious owners satdrinking wine a couple of metersaway.
. I’m so over the way Christiansbash gays. Has it occurred to youthat God allowed them to be bornthat way? No one chooses to begay, not with the way society treatsthem. I’m a Christian and I amashamed of how judgemental youare. That’s also a sin! SE
. Ag shame! Gay Pride is the bestthing that could happen in stuffyFish Hoek. It might wake ‘em up!Jane
. Call a spade a spade. Why don’tgays call themselves homosexu-
als? Why do I get called straight in-stead of normal? Does this implythey are bent? Lloyd, Muizenberg
Smile, please!. I wish to add that the staff at Mr
Price Home at Longbeach Mall areawesome, helpful, friendly and po-lite. From your sheet-special cus-tomer, Yvonne
. I totally agree, over the years Ihave observed and even men-tioned to the manager of Mr PriceLongbeach that they are the mostsour women I’ve ever encountered!I’ve never had this experience atother shops.
. I agree about the ladies at MrPrice. Very unhelpful. Eddie
. I’m glad someone noticed MrPrice staff’s attitudes towards theircustomers. You don’t get any as-sistance and the staff are notfriendly. I hope they make achange. Upset customer
. It’s about time something wassaid about the service at Mr PriceLongbeach. It would be so nice towalk into the store and be greeted
with friendly faces. Maybe sometraining in people skills would be agood idea, I would be happy toshop there again with some friendlyfaces. Sue, Fish Hoek
. I totally agree with the commentregarding Mr Price in LongbeachMall. Everything is just too muchwork for them and Lord help you ifyou ask for assistance. The looksyou receive could possibly knockyou over. I prefer to use the petroland visit Tokai where a day’s workis something to be proud of.
[Longbeach Mr Price’s assistantmanager, Charlene Warries, saidthe store has “an open door policy”and anyone with complaints mayspeak to her or the store manager,Brynn Adonis – Ed]
Digging for answersWILL some kind person please satisfymy curiosity regarding the undergroundcable being laid alongside the Sun Val-ley to Kommetjie Road?
Is it an electrical cable or telephonecable or perhaps some special commu-nication cable for the City of CapeTown?
THEOKommetjieCouncillor Shehaam Sims, MayoralCommittee Member for Utility Serv-ices responds:
The City of Cape Town’s ElectricityDepartment is installing medium volt-age underground cables along Kom-
metjie Road to reinforce the supply ofelectricity to Ocean View and Kom-metjie. There is also a contractor in-stalling optical fibre cables, possibly forMTN, in the vicinity of Compass Bak-ery.
The route for the electricity cableswas selected after investigating thevarious constraints on identified op-tions. A route on the northern side ofKommetjie Road was approved by the
Roads and Stormwater(R&S) Depart-ment. After work had commenced,R&S advised that there is a road widen-ing scheme that we had not been in-formed about.
The route had to be changed to takeaccount of this new information. Thisresulted in the route continuing on thesouthern side of the road from the pointwe had reached on the northern side.
In the vicinity of Sunnydale, over a
distance of 100m, an existing cablewas relocated from the northern side tothe southern side of the road to avoida planned future improvement to the in-tersection of Capri Drive and Kom-metjie Road, thereby avoiding the needto re-excavate at a later date.

‘Waddle’ you do for the African Pen-guins?THE 2012 Penguin Promises Waddlefor a Week started yesterday and willend on Saturday 21 April. During thistime, a group of intrepid “Waddlers”will walk from Gansbaai to Simon’sTown (120 km) to raise awarenessabout the plight of the African Pen-guin.
The Penguin Promises Waddle for aweek is an Animal Keepers Associationof Africa (AKAA) initiative and the groupconsists of animal keepers from theTwo Oceans Aquarium, uShaka Sea-world, National Zoological Gardens,Lory Park and SANCCOB.
The first “Waddle” took place in 2011and saw coastal communities fromGansbaai to Simon’s Town rally behindthe “Waddlers” and support them ontheir walk.
This year’s “Waddle” is made possi-ble through the generous sponsorshipof Cape Nature and a vehicle sponsor-ship from Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Cen-tury City.
The African Penguin currently facesmany threats and the population isdwindling at an alarming rate. Scien-tists believe that they could be extinctin the wild within 15 years.
Loss of food sources due to overfish-
ing, climate change and habitat de-struction are just some of the factorstaking their toll on African Penguinnumbers.
Current data suggest that there areonly about 60 000 of these endemicbirds left on southern African shores.
The “Waddlers” call on all South Afri-cans to promise to make a change intheir daily lives that will effect positivechange in the environment, like promis-ing not to use straws, or to shower rath-er than bath or to stop using single useplastic bags.
These changes can have an im-mensely positive impact on the envi-
ronment when they are made collec-tively.
The “Waddlers” are encouragingpeople to walk with them for as long asthey can and to make their promise atwww.penguinpromises.com. The finalday of the “Waddle” will see the groupleave from Muizenberg at 9:00.
They aim to reach Simon’s Town (adistance of 15km) at about 13:00 andwould love many Capetonians,dressed in black and white, to jointhem.
The Penguin Promises Waddle for aWeek campaign is not a fundraisingcampaign.
Instead, the campaign focuses onraising awareness about the plight ofthe African Penguin and encouragespeople to promise to change somethingin their daily lives.

AS I write this, controversialformer big game fishing celebri-ty and producer of National Ge-ographic Channel’s Shark Menseries, Chris Fischer, of theOcearch project, is pouring acontinuous stream of chum intoFalse Bay, then hooking andfighting Great White sharks!
Once each shark is exhausted,it is lifted out of the ocean on a plat-form where “scientists” perform abattery of invasive tests and meas-urements while bolting a SPOTsatellite tag onto its dorsal fin be-fore returning the understandablystressed apex predator to theocean, with the entire operationbeing filmed for future broadcast.
Despite a concerted campaignby local and international shark ex-perts to have Fischer’s permit sus-pended until a comprehensiveconservation plan for the sharks isproduced, including petitioning theDirector General of the Depart-ment of Environment Affairs,Ocearch continues its operationon the North side of Seal island,the side closest to StrandfonteinBeach.
With stiff South Easterly windspredicted from Tuesday to Thurs-day, blowing the chum slick to-
wards the beaches, ocean usersare alerted to the possibility of in-creased shark activity in the baywith the unpredictable behaviourof the traumatized sharks an add-ed concern. This is not an AprilFool’s joke so please be carefulout there!
Elsewhere, Max Armstrongfrom Scarborough was Team SA’stop performer on Day 1 of the Dak-ine ISA World Junior SurfingChampionships which run untilSunday 22 April at Playa Venao inPanama. Armstrong stayed pa-tient and posted one of the top 10heat scores in the U16 boys divi-sion, held in tricky one metre off-shore waves.
At the time of writing, BenjiBrand (Kommetjie), the only otherFar South surfer in the team, hadyet to start his campaign for hon-ours in the event. The SA juniorteam is managed by Isaac Febru-ary (Kommetjie) and Josh Salie(Muizenberg) is one of threecoaches. All the action from theevent, which features 301 surfersfrom 31 nations, can be followedvia live webcasts at www.dakinei-sawjsc.com starting at 3pm SAtime daily.
Congratulations go to the WPGroms team who wrested theteam trophy away from hosts East-ern Cape Surfing at the 20th annu-
al Billabong SA Grommets Gamesin Port Elizabeth recently. Saman-tha Sutton won the U16 Girls surf-ing and paddle-battle titles whileBirk Jorgenson, Sebastian Bidoli,Redd-Valentino Debray, Anasta-sia Peterson, Samuel Bennie andAlex Townsend all made the finalsin their respective divisions.
The WP Longboard Associationhas named their team for the SAChamps at Victoria Bay in theSouthern Cape from 29 April to 5May. Michael Grendon from Scar-borough heads the seeding in boththe Open and Masters divisionswith Deon Bing, Alan Robb andGary van Rooyen the top seeds intheir age categories.
Heaps of other Far South per-formers are included in a powerfulteam that looks very capable ofbringing home the team trophyand a number of individual titles.Do your bit to prove that WP rulesthe waves, guys and girls!
