Mountain muggers escapeTERESA FISCHER

TWO suspects in Sunday’smountain attack on two hik-

ers, in which one of the victimsbroke a leg trying to escape,could have been caught afterthey were spotted at the top ofNewlands Ravine.

The victim, a 23-year-old fromRondebosch, was reportedly walk-ing with two other men within theTable Mountain National Park(TMNP) between Devil’s Peak andthe Rhodes Memorial when theywere accosted.

He fell as he was running downthe mountain to escape the men.His cellphone, backpack and moneywere stolen. This was late in themorning.

But Jean-Claude Malengret, whospotted the suspects on the moun-tain later that day, says when hephoned Cape Town Central PoliceStation he had to convince the offic-er on duty that Tafelberg Road actu-ally fell within their jurisdiction.

“They finally agreed to send acar,” he says, but he subsequentlydiscovered the message had beenrelayed incorrectly.

From where he spotted the menit is about a 30 minute walk to Tafel-berg Road, and that is the only waydown from the top of the ravine –other than via the Blockhouse.

Malengret, who was hiking be-hind the victims and was involvedfrom the time his group found theinjured man, and also phoned theTable Mountain Visitor Safetynumber (0861 106 417) to report spot-ting the suspects, but says they ei-ther hung up or he was cut off.

Malengret and his wife firststruggled to summon help, and saysit took police over an hour to arriveand medical rescue two hours.

He says: “A TMNP ranger arrivedafter about 25 minutes (alerted bysome cyclists) but was on his own,had no weapons and was reluctantto pursue the suspects.

“Thirty minutes later anotherranger joined them, this time onfoot. No pursuit was attempted.”

After leaving the rescue site,Malengret and his friends decidedto continue their hike up to Devil’sPeak.

At about 17:30, on their way downand at the top part of Nursery Ra-vine they spotted two men, match-ing the description given by the hik-ers, coming up the Ravine. The par-ties brushed past each other but nowords were exchanged.

The men avoided any eye contactand moved off “quite quickly”. Hesays they had their jackets wrappedaround their hands concealingwhat they were carrying.

He describes them as “very darkin complexion, thin and athleticlooking.”

Both were bald and approximate-ly 5 foot 9 inches tall.

Andre van Schalkwyk of the Ta-ble Mountain Safety Action Group

(TMSAG) says the rate of attackshas now surpassed that of last year.

He says TMSAG has only one ob-jective which is: To immediatelyalert and inform (forewarn) moun-tain visitors and users of incidentsand hotspots and in so doing enablethem to make informed decisionswith regards their own safety.

Van Schalkwyk recently with-drew fromtheTableMountainSafe-ty Forum (TMSF), which was estab-lished in February this year by theprevious Minister of CommunitySafety, Albert Fritz, as a means tobring together all the role-players,including Sanparks, the police andcivic associations.

“We cannot be party to a ‘system’or process that does not work andthat almost (seemingly) has a para-noia against releasing any form ofinformation, no matter how much

assurance we provide that we willuse the information for early warn-ings only,” he says.

TMSF chairperson, Marc Truss,says the Forum, when established,identified a lack of direct communi-cation between affected parties andto the public as a priority.

Shortly before Malengret’s reve-lation on Monday, Truss said thatsince February, communicationhas improved drastically.

In July, Claudio Massenz (26)fractured his skull following a fallabove Rhodes Memorial, trying toevade his attackers.

CaptainEzraOctober,CapeTownCentral Police Station spokesper-son and Merle Collins, Sanparksspokesperson, were not able to re-spond to questions or allegationsmade by Malengret by the time ofgoing to print.

DALEEN FOUCHÉ

THE eMzantsi project is in its sev-enth year and ready for this year’sbig carnival day on Saturday 3 De-cember.

This Far South initiative aims tocreate a platform through art, dra-ma, music and carnival where dif-ferent communities and culturescan interact. Although the Carnivalis a one-day event, the eMzantsi pro-gramme runs throughout the yearand boasts a music project, schoolsproject and costume-making work-shops. This year’s green Carnivaltheme is “eMzantsi Goes BOS!”

What started out as a small one-day event now employs locals on apermanent basis, thanks to fundingfrom the National Lottery Distribu-tion Trust Fund.

Yandiswa Mzwana, an artist fromMasiphumelele is the project coor-dinator.

Her friendly disposition and crea-tive manner is infectious. She de-scribes her role at eMzantsi as“combining schools from differentbackgrounds through art, dramaand music.” The project offered freerecycled art-making workshops toFar South pre-primary schools inpreparation for the eMzantsi Carni-val. Ten educares from Noordhoek,Masiphumelele, Ocean View and Fish Hoekcame together in twinned groups to makebeautiful windmill flowers. They will also geta free educational workshop in Novemberfrom Little Green Fingers to learn about bio-diversity and the importance of protectingour local fauna and flora.

Yandisa started working with eMzantsi asa facilitator presenting workshops on recy-cling and art and helped carnival partici-pants to create costumes and hats for carni-val day. Her role at eMzantsi evolved andsoon she managed over 35 members of theconstruction crew responsible for puppetsand floats. But Yandisa has found her nichewith the schools project. “I loveworkingwithchildren,” she says.

She says the best thing about working with

children is their freedom to express them-selves during workshops.

Yandisa says she has learned and grown alot at eMzansti.

Her dream is for children from differentcultures and communities to play together,without needing a workshop to facilitate theprocess. “I hope that in 15 years time, wewould not have to stress about integration,because today’s children grew up with differ-ent cultures.”

Working with children, however, has itschallenges. “Some kids think they are too oldfor some activities,” she says. But by the timethe carnival arrives, lasting bonds betweenthe kids and those working with them havebeen formed.

Going Bos on recycling

From Germany with love“IT IS rather ironic that in a country northof the Equator, schools are closed and furni-ture disposed of due to lack of pupils,” saythe Cape Town Noon Gun Rotarians, whileat the same time, on the opposite side of theglobe, schools are in dire need of education-al facilities and equipment.

The Rotarians seized the opportunity,found generous sponsors and filled a 40 footcontainer with 2000kg of equipment.

The 456 items included chairs, tables andsporting equipment. It was shipped fromChemnitz in Ger-many to Cape Townand taken to Ukh-anyo PrimarySchool inMasiphumelele,near Kommetjie.The school was originally built for 700 pu-pils, but currently accommodates 1400, shar-ing chairs or sitting on crates.

After a year of hard work and persistenceby Rotarians the container finally arrivedin Masi greeted by hundreds of school chil-dren and their teachers.

While seals were broken and wrappingstripped, children and Rotarians formed ahuman chain to the storage hall. For morethan an hour the container spewed out

chairs, tables, sporting equipment, black-boards, shelving and other school furnitureto the amusement and excitement of thecrowd.

“Every school child now sits on a chairandhas adesk towrite on,” saysheadmasterMichael Tyhali. “We live in a communitywhere many families live below the povertyline, where income is derived from sellingwood. We cannot express how grateful weare to Rotary for this generous donation.”

Several companies and individualsspon-sored the transportof the goods. “We areone of the youngestclubs in our Rotarydistrict and ourmembers are stillvery much hands-

on,” explains Noon Gun President HansDuncker. “The smiles and excitement of thechildren and the camaraderie of Rotriansmade this afternoon simply special.”

In Germany, after the fall of the Wall andreunification, many schools were built informer East Germany, only to find that peo-ple enjoying their new-found freedom left toseek their fortune elsewhere. Dwindling en-rolment saw schools closing and the furni-ture stored.

FH crime increasesDALEEN FOUCÉ

PROPERTY-related crime in the FishHoek precinct has increased by 50%since last year, says Warrant Officer Pe-ter Midleton, spokesperson for the FishHoek police station.

The Fish Hoek precinct, consists of twosectors and includes Sunnydale, Sun Val-ley, Capri, Faerie Knowe, Noordhoek andFish Hoek.

Middleton says recent months’ crime fig-ures indicate a drastic increase in propertycrimes like house break-ins and thefts outof motor vehicles, compared to this timelast year. He singles out Capri, where therehad been a “cluster” of thefts, particularlyof laptops and jewellery.

Police are patrolling affected areas more,but without neglecting other areas. He sayscriminals move from area to area and it isimportant to patrol all areas.

André Blom, chairperson of the FishHoek Community Policing Forum, agreesthat Capri and Noordhoek areas are beingtargeted by criminals.

Blom says the neighbourhood watchesare planning several operations in theseareas. He says that the CPF is handing outpamphlets with safety information and in-creasing visibility.

CCTV cameras were recently installed inparts of Noordhoek. “Because these areasare safer than other parts of the country,people often leave doors and windowsopen.” Blom urges residents to get contactnumbers for their local neighbourhoodwatches and to be vigilant about their safe-ty. Middleton says that to avoid property-related crime, people should not leave valu-ables in their cars and should reportcrimes at all times.

For contact numbers of local neighbour-hood watches, phone the Fish Hoek policeon (021) 784-2700.

Shark solution closeANNELIEN DEAN

AMEANS of making Fish Hoek bay safefor swimming could be implemented

after this season if national governmentlends its support and funding. Details ofthe solution, and exactly when it could beimplemented, were not revealed.

Mike Schilperoort spoke about solutions toFish Hoek’s shark problems at the AGM of theFish Hoek Chamber of Commerce and Indus-try on Thursday night.

Schilperoort – whose son, Tom, is a champi-onpaddler –became involved in findinga solu-tion to Fish Hoek’s shark problem after FishHoek resident Tyna Webb was killed by ashark in 2004. Schilperoort approached theNatal Sharks Board, which was involved inthe development of shark-repelling electro-magnetic devices. After a fundraising drive,he was able to secure 25 of these devices foruse when the Fish Hoek Surf Lifesaving Clubpractised in the water.

The devices emit an electromagnetic pulseacross a radius of five metres. The theory isthat sharks are repelled by the electromagnet-ic pulse. Schilperoort was invited to addressthe Chamber’s AGM after the shark attack onMichael Cohen at Clovelly Corner in Septem-ber. Schilperoort’s is in regular contact withkey roleplayers, such as Gregg Oelofse, headof environmental policy and strategy in theCity of Cape Town’s Environmental ResourceManagement Department. He has accompa-nied shark researcher Alison Kock on sharktagging expeditions.

Business in the area is taking a knock,Schilperoort said, from sellers of bodyboardsand surf gear to estate agencies picking upnegative sentiment from property owners andprospective buyers. Holiday bookings willstill show the impact of Fish Hoek’s shark pop-ulation on the town’s popularity with holiday-makers. As Schilperoort said, “Google ‘FishHoek’ and you will often find ‘shark’ attachedto the town’s name.”

Schilperoort said a short-term and a long-term solution were in the making, but due tothe need to first secure national governmentsupport and funding, the details could not beconfirmed yet. Schilperoort believes roleplay-ers will broadly be in support of the proposedsolutions as they balance the need for safetywith the need for environmental sensitivity.

Urban renewal, followsMain Road upgradesDALEEN FOUCHÉ

THE long-term upgrade on the Main Roadfrom Atlantic Road in Muizenberg toClovelly Road, Fish Hoek has been thecause of many headaches and complaints,but has also ensured urban renewal insome of the oldest and most picturesquevillages of South Africa.

People’s Post visited the site, along withPaul Booth, project manager and AndrewRush, resident engineer, to inspect thecomplete work, and to find out what is yetto come.

The upgrade, deemed an absolute ne-cessity by the City of Cape Town, has beenunder way since March 2008.

But contrary to expectations, 50%of theupgrade is not on the road itself, but rath-er to water and sewage pipes underneaththe road.

Main Road was surfaced about 60 yearsago and has not received much attentionsince then. Phase one of the upgrade,from Canty House to Leighton Road,is ap-proaching completion. Booth says part oftheir mandate was to ensure ample park-ing and to improve the public spaces andsafety in and around the Road.

This is already evident in St. James,where different design elements wereused for aesthetic and practical value.Parking areas along the road were laidout with light brown bricks, while walk-ways were indicated with red brick.

Booth says the City could not approvepedestrian crossings on the Main Road.However, this inspired creative thinkingon how to make Main Road safer for pe-destrians.

Several unofficial crossings were indi-cated with red brick and added warningsigns to motorists. These unofficial cross-ings were also built at junctions withMain Road, in order to create a continualwalking path. Historic features of theroadwere incorporated,withall theorigi-nal sandstone curbs and historic man-holes reused.

Additional parking, indigenous gar-dens and stone benches are some of theimprovements to the road, while existingwalkways under the railway have beengiven a facelift. “There has been very lit-tle vandalism to the new walkways,” saysBooth.

The Trevone Fountain, which sprouts

the preferred water for locals’ whiskey,has been refurbished and cleaned up.

The Main Road upgrade is currently inits second phase, from Leighton Road toKalk Bay Harbour. Booth says that inconsultation with local businesses, it wasdecided not to continue work in the KalkBay CBD during the festive season. Hesays the contractor will work betweenClairvaux Road, which leads up to BoyesDrive, and the Kalk Bay Harbour duringthe festive season. “The contractor willrevert to the stop-and-go system duringthis time,” says Booth. Challenges duringthe upgrade included the lack of detailedmaps of the all the infrastructure underthe Road.

Booth and Rush both say that commu-nication between the work team and thelocalcommunity has been fantastic. “Wehave made friends along the way,” hesays. Booth adds that members of thecommunity have also taken responsibili-ty for the indigenous gardens that are be-ing planted.

Phase three,which consists of two sepa-rate parts, stretches from Kalk Bay Har-bour to Clovelly Road and From Muizen-berg to just south of Casa Labia.

The project is due for completion at theend of 2014,

PLACE OF REST: The contractor installedrock benches and indigenous gardens allalong the Main Road.

Another death onKommetjie RoadDALEEN FOUCHÉ

ANOTHER life has beenclaimed in a car accident onthe notorious KommetjieRoad.

The accident, in w hich a 30-year-old woman died, oc-curred just beyond Seven-teenth Avenue in the earlyhours of Sunday morning 30October.

The driver and two otherpassengers in the car were ad-mitted to hospital.

Fish Hoek police could notdetermine if the driver hadbeen under the influence ofalcohol at the time of thecrash.

By the time police arrived on the scene, thedriver had already been taken to hospital.

Robert de Wet, administration manager forEmergency Medical Treatment (EMT), saysthat according to witnesses at the scene, thedriver allegedly lost control of the car. Thecar left the road and collided with a tree, thena wall and streetlamp pole before coming toa stop.

De Wet says one occupant was trapped un-derneath the tree, which had been knockeddown. The injured person was assisted bymembers of the public.

Two other occupants were lying injurednext to the car. The fourth occupant, who hadbeen ejected from the car during the impact,was lying several metres away and was de-clared dead on the scene.

Warrant Officer Peter Middleton, spokes-person for the Fish Hoek police, says a caseof culpable homicide is being investigated.

People’s Post reported last week on resi-dents’ frustration that work has not yet start-

ed on Kommetjie Road has . They were frus-tated because it was four months since a reso-lution had been reached between the City ofCape Town and Fish Hoek residents to makethe road safer.

Residents had understood officials to havesaid that work would start on the road a weekafter the second community meeting for a saf-er Kommetjie Road.

JanetHolwill, chairpersonof theFishHoekResidents and Ratepayers Association, saysthe City recently completed the overheadtraffic lights at Seventeenth Avenue. Shesays that this is “a good start” for making theroad safer.

The two meetings followed the death ofwell-known Fish Hoek resident, Ray Renaudon 5 June, while he was out walking with hisdog. (“Road claims another life,” People’sPost, 7 June 2011).

EMT conveyed sincere thanks to the mem-bers of the public who were “quick to assist”them in gaining access to the patients

Enough nowGANG VIOLENCE is once again rearing itsugly head across Cape Town.

We report on this in some of our editionsthis week. Our front page of Athlone People’sPost has a story about two young men whowere shot while standing on street corners.

This is just one area where gangs are turn-ing the streets of peaceful neighbourhoods in-to warzones – with no regard for the innocent,no respect for life.

The tragic reality is that in areas such asHeideveld and Manenberg, near Athlone, andLavender Hill on the southern suburbs side,the soundof gunshots ringingout over supperhas become terrifyingly familiar.

Feigned or not, it is with a sense of disre-gard that some families living in these night-mare conditions matter-of-factly report onfinding fleeing gangsters in their backyards.

Others deny that the situation is as dire asit really is; a coping mechanism?

Be that as it may, if you found yourself onthe Cape Flats on Guy Fawkes, you could notbe faulted for wondering whether the bangyou had heard, was that of fireworks or a gun-shot.

This, unfortunately, is the nature of life ingang-plagued communities, where manyyoung people are either intimidated or influ-enced by gang activity.

It is a miracle that several others rise abovetheir circumstances to achieve success in ed-ucation, careers and their personal lives.

Intervention from the ground up and in-cluding heightened police visibility, pays off– for a while.

The police cannot guard communitiesaround the clock; there is simply not enoughmanpower or resources for this.

Aware of this, residents have truly become“the eyes and ears of the police”, exposinggang hide-outs and drug dealers.

This is where the fight against the scourgeof gangsterism will gain momentum; wheneach law abiding citizen takes a stanceagainst allowing evil to thrive.

What are they supposed to do?WE live in Capri and recently had the mosthorrific experience with baboons which fre-quent the area.

Wehavenot seen themallwinter so I knowit was inevitable that when we do it wouldbe in full force. They trashed my back yard,but I am told this is to be expected if we livein this area. We are not altogether comforta-ble with this since we also feel we shouldhave rights. My question, however, is actu-ally regarding the baboon monitors.

Weare sure theydonot earnmuch (at leastminimum wage according to the labour law)but was wondering what their role actuallyis during the day.

The day our yard was trashed they weresitting up on the hill watching and so obvi-ously my idea that they are supposed tomake sure they go up into the mountains isincorrect. What is worse, we have the entiremountain next to our 8-foot walls, so if thebaboons wanted to play they could havedone so just on the other side of the wall.Please someone kindly inform me of theirrole?LEOCapri

OSMAN ASMAL, DIRECTOR OFENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE MAN-AGEMENT DEPARTMENT FOR THECITY OF CAPE TOWN RESPONDS:

THE management body, the Baboon Conser-vation Authorities (BCA), has come to therealisation that there are a lot of misconcep-tions in the community andwould like tousethis opportunity to dispel some of them.

Firstly, monitors are not “herders” witha responsibility to keep baboons in certainareas.

The monitors form a human barrier be-tween residential and natural areas to miti-gate and reduce conflict. It is almost impossi-ble to eliminate conflict.

They are further required to ensure thatthe larger portion of a troop is kept out ofthe urban environment before they are atliberty to pursue lone animals who do getthrough. Their main function is centredaround public safety and the reduction ofconflict. The protection of property is not afunction of monitoring.

They are, however, required to mitigateraiding, but are restricted from entering pri-vate property unless they are given permis-sion to enter the property by the owner.

Baboons will always be more attracted tohuman food, waste or alien vegetation thanto foraging for hours in fynbos with its lowenergy reward and therefore it will alwaysremain the responsibility of property own-ers in the baboon-affected areas to safeguardtheir properties against baboons.

Having said all of the above, the BCAwants to assure residents that it is alwayslooking at ways to improve the service deliv-ered by monitors.

Residents are encouraged to call the hot-line 071 588 6540 and give as much detail asthey can, like the estimated number of ba-boons; whether any of them have beentagged or collared; and, if so, what the colourof the tags are; and whether they are merelyroaming or raiding.

The monitors face many challenges –sometimes the terrain is difficult or theyneed to cover long distances. The monitorsmove around on foot. It takes time to getaround.

There are other reasons for baboons ven-turing down – sometimes they are driven bythe absence of an easy source of water in thenatural environment, sometimes the sheerluxury of all the man-made items and food.

Sometimes there are also labour prob-lems, therefore the hotline is so important– it enables the service provider to improveits service.

An orchid for Muizenberg policeI WOULD like to commend Muizenbergpolice station for the efficient, profes-sional and cheerful way they took astatement from me after the theft of abattery from my car outside our houseinPalmerRoadonTuesday 1November.

My statement was taken by a charm-ing, and cheerful, Constable Campher,in just ten minutes.

Equally efficient was the notificationby Constable Magwentshu, a mere sixhours later on the same day, of the sub-sequent recovery of my battery fromtwo suspects.

The suspects had earlier been arrest-ed in Lakeside, while in the process ofstealing a battery, by Railway Police.

Three batteries were found in theircar.

On Wednesday 2 November, I wentback to the police station and identifiedmy battery, (which had been cleaned –perhaps ready for re-sale!) I asked to seethe two suspects, hoping that I might beable to identify them as strollers in thevillage, but neither of them looked fa-miliar.

There appears to be a fairly wide-spread view that reporting crime is gen-erally a “tedious waste of time”.

We can’t expect the police to follow upon criminal incidents if we don’t assistthem by reporting those incidents, andI do hope that the efficiency and courte-sy I experienced will encourage othersto report even the smallest of thefts.MARGARET DUGMOREMuizenberg

YourSMSesWhales about tourists

. The response to “Anon-ymous” from the spokes-man at Megacoach is outra-geous. Of course stopping acoach on a blind rise and al-lowing people to disem-bark, for whatever reason,was inexcusable. Jane

. Anon, you have over-looked the fact that cyclistscause more havoc everyday than this driver. Treas-ure our tourists. Angela,Fish Hoek Tourism

. Could the touristswatching whales do as wedo! Drive a little further,park safely and walk a littlebit. Can the bus drivers en-courage mutual respect be-tween tourists and resi-dents? Gill, Glencairn

Don’t shoot to kill!. Shooting baboons is il-

legal. You probably knowthat or you would have giv-en your name! I hope youget caught and go to jail.

. To the person in lastweek’s Post SMSes whosaid after twice being at-tacked by a baboon, he/sheis now going to kill it.

You are a liar. Baboons

do not attack people. Deon. To the tough guy who

said he is going to shoot ba-boons now because they an-noy him a little, try be a so-called intelligent humanfor once in your life and al-ways be one step ahead ofthese very intelligent andbeautiful creatures with-out showing your humanweakness. Pat H

. To the person attackedby the aggressive baboon,don’t shoot! Call Pat H (Ba-boon/Shark Hugger) to dosome hugging.

Man’s best friend. Animal Lover, you are

very mixed up. A dog is ananimal and, unlike a per-son, it can be eaten.

. To Animal Lover: Youare missing the point. Haveyou heard dogs barkingduring the day time?

They start at midnightwhen the people mustsleep. You can’t comparedogs with kids but both canbe trained with good re-sults. From Animal andPeople Lover

Of cellphones and masts

. People cry about poorreception on the cell phone,yet if they erect a mast,they cry!

. All the hoo-ha is overcell phone masts having illeffects on people – whatabout the phone itself?

Just a thought. To the moron who

states the SPCA must re-duce their prices, here’s athought: don’t have ani-mals if u cannot affordthem and don’t allow themto carry on breeding.

It is contributing to allthe unwanted pets. Wakeup!

. Patrick had it wrong:the Rand was initiallyworth 10 shillings, not apound. It was coloured, thesame brown as the ten bobnote and the R2 was a blueshade, the same as thepound. Many of us stillhave all these notes.

. I would like to applaudparents and their childrenfor the support and the pas-sion they show for the fu-ture of their children.

Go girls! You make yourchildren proud.

Rediscover the Far SouthLIVING in the South Peninsula, onesometimes takes for granted all that thisbeautiful area has to offer.

With its dramatic scenic routes, the pe-ninsula offers unsurpassed views ofmountains and seas.

Just driving through the peninsula re-veals splendour after splendour, whetherfrom the lofty heights of Ou Kaapseweg,Boyes Drive and Chapman’s Peak Drive,or whether you follow the coastal roads,within touching distance of the sparklingseas and beautiful beaches.

Historically, the Cape was the gatewayto southern Africa and, as such, manyplaces of historical significance are dot-ted around the peninsula. Visits to Si-mon’s Town or Muizenberg will take youto some of these sites, dating back to theearly days of colonisation.

For lovers of the outdoors, theCapeFlo-ral Kingdom awaits! From Kirstenboschto Cape Point, the peninsula is criss-crossed with walks and hiking trails, ena-bling you to experience and enjoy the

tranquility of our mountains and valleys,amidst the fynbos that flourishes there.

If sun-kissed beaches beside crystalclear waters are what you want, the pe-ninsula has many on offer. Popularbeaches range from Fish Hoek to Muizen-berg, and if you don’t mind sharing withpenguins, a visit to Boulders beach offersan unique experience. Hout Bay andNoordhoek beaches also provide idyllicspots for long walks and picnics alongpristine sands.

For anyone wishing to escape their hec-tic lifestyle - filled with the hustle-bustleof modern shopping malls and motor-ways - a visit to the peninsula is like a tripback through time, to a period when thepace of life was slower and there was timeto stop, look, listen, and to relax.

Though the pages of our souvenirguide-book, visitors can experience thebeauty of our area and take away lastingmemories of their time here.ARCHIE FORDGlencairn

Have your cat testedWE moved to Muizenberg earlier this yearwith our beautiful cat Benedict, and recentlydiscovered that he has the feline immunode-ficiency virus (FIV). He previously testednegative for FIV so we believe that he con-tracted it in fights with local cats.

FIV is a retrovirus related to the humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV).

FIV is not typically fatal, and they can livefor many years as carriers of the disease. FIVis transmitted via scratches and bite woundswhere the infected cat’s saliva enters the oth-er cat’s bloodstream, or it can be passed frompregnant cats to their kittens. FIV positivecats need special care to ensure that theystay healthy, and they must be kept indoorsto prevent spreading the disease. They needregular check-ups and vaccinations to stayhealthy and happy. They may also need oth-er treatments as the illness progresses. It is

important forcat owners tohave their catstested for FIV.It is quick andpainless. It canbe done by anyvet, who willtake a smallblood sampleto test for FIVantibodies (a test for feline leukaemia can bedone at the same time). We know that manycat-owners in Muizenberg and surrounds re-ally love their cats. We urge you to take yourcat to the vet for testing to prevent furtherspread of FIV. Your local vet can providemore information.KATHERINE DEGENAARMuizenberg

Pay to park, in aid of businessUNDER an agreement with the City of CapeTown, paid parking will be introduced onWharfStreet, Simon’sTown, fromWednesday16 November. The principle will be the sameas that currently employedonJubileeSquare,except that the rate will initially be R5 perhour or part thereof. As with Jubilee Squarethe first 20 minutes will be free, but includedin the first hour.

The prime reason is to provide much-need-ed support for local businesses and restau-rants by freeing up parking bays to ensure aconstant turnover of vehicles throughout theday. Many businesses are suffering from lossof trade and it is essential that visitors be pro-vided with parking in the town centre. Peoplewhocurrentlypark inWharf Street all dayareencouraged to park on Cole Point – a fiveminute walk. It is intended for the bays imme-diately above the Salty Sea Dog and oppositethe Post Office to be exclusively for 20-minutefree parking. The disabled bay outside the

Post Office will remain. This will permit localresidents to access shops with ease. Regularusers of the 20-free-minute facility can obtaina parking disk from the office on JubileeSquare, which permits ongoing ticketless ac-cess and exit.

This project ties in with Stadco’s recent as-sumption of management of the Town Jettyand the appointment of a jetty master. Consid-erable benefit can be expected over the com-ing months. Initially a rudimentary ticketand payment system will be enforced until wehave had the opportunity to assess needsmore accurately. Stadco is a not-for-profitcompany and all funds raised are used for theformal employment of those from the disad-vantaged community and for general mainte-nance and cleaning throughout the town. Thedirectors are unpaid.CJF DUNCANChairperson for Stadco (Simon’s TownAmenities Development Company)

The healing power of milkLOSING a child has been de-scribed as the worst kind of lossanyone can experience, an un-speakable pain. People deal withdeath in so many different ways;there is no prescription to aidhealing.

Recently, the community-basedMilk Bank, Milk Matters, wasdeeply touched by one of theirbreast milk donors, Kelly, whholost her baby girl, MiKayla, aftera long battle. “I cannot put towords the beautiful connection oflove that we share, and the empti-ness that followed when shepassed away. Healing takes time,as does the acceptance and under-standing of so many things. Ifound comfort knowing that mybaby’s milk would be used to feed

and possibly even save the life ofanother baby without the meansof having breast milk.” Kelly’smilk is given to vulnerable pre-mature babies who cannot get thebreast milk they need from theirown mothers. Milk Matters focuson the tiniest babies of under1.5kg,who thriveon the irreplace-able nutrients, growth factorsand antibodies in human milk.The breast milk can literally belife-saving. Milk Matters’ Eliza-beth Brierley says “Kelly couldhave stopped donating a longtime ago, but a month in, she isstill supplying Milk Matters withher precious breast milk.”

Kelly says: “When I look at Mi-Kayla’s life, although it was brief,she touchedandchanged the lives

of so many around her. Her breastmilk will feed those who are hun-gry, and her clothing and blan-kets will help give warmth andcomfort to those in need.”

According to Brierley, Kelly’soutlook on life is truly commend-able and inspirational.

Kelly adds: “It was through myultimate loss of little MiKaylathat I can now truly see the bless-ings in and feel gratitude for abso-lutely everything; the importanceof loving deep, living strong andcherishing every blessed breathof life. I have no regrets, and goforward with a deeper love, an un-movable faith, and sincerest hopein the beauty of life and thechance to make a difference in myimmediate world.”

Paddlers get their awe inLYNN PRINS

THE national canoeing teamraked in an impressive 21

medals at the World CanoeMarathon Championships(WCMC) in Singapore recently,placing fourth in the competi-tion.

The team,aged between 16 to 45,competed against 45 countriesand also managed to set one newmarathon record.

Hank McGregor from the KingFish Hoek Club in KwaZulu Natalwas recognised as the Interna-tional Canoeing Federation’s Ath-lete of the Month.

SA took gold on the first daythrough Rob Maclean in the mas-ters’ division’s kayak one (K1)event.

Maclean said: “That’s damngood because the blokes I beatwere Kiwis.” Maclean and hiskayak two (K2) partner, Enslinvan Riet, followed up with anoth-er gold.

Van Riet hadcompeted againstMaclean in the K1the previous dayand had to be con-tent with silver.

According toJourdan, the

weather conditions were toughfor marathon racing, but he as-cribed their success to their fit-ness and being more used to hotweather than their Europeancompetitors.

The squad’s juniors were first-time competitors.

“Dominic Notton and CraigFlannagan did exceedingly well,and fell short of a bronze medal bytwo seconds.

“Jodie Cleworth and KirstieFlannagan came sixth in their K2race. It’s a fantastic achievementto end in the top 10,” said Jourdan.

The tournament consisted ofdifferent distances for various agecategories.

It ranged from 21km to 35km,depending on the age group.

The SA team was said to havebeen the best, both on and off thewater, in terms of spirit.

This was the 19th event inwhich South Africa competed,and team members are highly mo-tivated, already preparing to doeven better in Rome next year.
