Boy (11)assaulted in robbery

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

An11-year-oldboywaspunchedin

the face when five robbers ran-

sacked his family home on the

Gordons Bay mountainside last

Monday (25 August).

This incident and the theft of sail-

ing legend Bertie Reeds ashes in a

burglary onFriday has renewed at-

tention on an apparent increase in

housebreaking in Gordons Bay.

According toWarrantOfficerNico

Beukes, spokesperson for the police,

the boy (11) and his eight-year-old

brotherwere alone at home just after

18:00 on Monday when five robbers

entered their house.

The boyswere in the bathroomup-

stairs when the eldest heard a noise

downstairs and went to investigate.

Downstairs,hewasconfrontedbythe

intruders.

According to Beukes, one of the

men punched the boy with his fist

when he asked why they were in his

house. His brother, who was still up-

stairs at the time, heard his sobs and

followed him downstairs.

The intruders then forced the chil-

dren to sit against a wall while they

ransacked the house.

Theolderbrothermanagedtopress

scene with a TV, two laptops and a

safewhich contained jewellery and a

fire-arm, all estimated at about

SUNNY SIDE UP: Somerset West re

less people set out to clean the area this

past Sunday. They tossed out the old and

smelly and welcomed spring by collecting

about 800 bags of waste. The cleanup

was initiated by the Local Network of Care

(LNC), which aims to restore the CBD to its

former tidy state. The cleanup included ar

eas around the Old Bridge Tavern, South

eys Vines, Pick n Pay and the dilapidated

Bellona house. Andy Loughton of LNC said

the project was successful and that com

munity members also joined the more than

100 homeless people at his weekly church

service at Busy Corner as well as at the

cleanup. A lunch of boerewors rolls was

enjoyed after the cleanup. It creates a so

lution for homelessness and also breaks

down the barrier between the homeless

and the rest of the community, said

Loughton, who hopes to do followup

cleanups. PHOTO: DELIAH BRINKHUIS

BertieReedsashes stolen

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

Every night . . . I said good

night to him.

These are the words of Pat

Reed, widow of the well-known

sailor and adventurer Bertie

Reed, as she dabs away her tears.

Bertie was the first South Afri-

can solo yachtsman to circum-

navigate the world three times.

He died on 18 December 2006.

Pats house in Gordons Bay

was burgled last Friday after-

noon, and among the stolen items

was a small wooden box with her

late husbands ashes.

Pat is struggling to come to

termswithher loss as she tearful-

ly recalls how she would take out

the box at night to talk to theman

she had been married to for 46

years.

As a last tribute to his life at

sea, Berties ashes were strewn

over the waves in Gordons Bay

on 19 January 2007, which would

have been his 64th birthday. Pat

kept some of the ashes and saved

these in a little bag in thewooden

box. It occupied a place of honour

in her cupboard, where it stood

among her perfume bottles.

She talks lovingly about a

small toy gorilla named Gonga

that guarded the remains of her

husband where it stood on top of

the kist. Gonga had for many

years also sailed the seven seas

with its owner.

The burglars alsomade offwith a laptop

and a safe containing the late sailors wal-

let, and the Wolraad Woltemade Award

for bravery and exceptional seamanship

that Bertie received in 1992 for saving fel-

low competitor, John Martin, during a

round-the-world competition. Bertie res-

cued Martin from the icy waters of the

Southern Ocean near Cape Horn, after

Martins yacht had struck an iceberg and

was sinking.

ASt Christopherpendant andoneof the

many teaspoons that Bertie had collected

on his world trips were also in the safe.

Pat, whomanages their restaurant Ber-

ties Moorings in Gordons Bay,

says she arrived home onFriday

at about 16:10 to find the sliding

door of herhomeopen. She could

hear her dogs barking at the

back of the house and on closer

inspection she found that the

safety gate andwooden door had

been pried open.

Horrific thoughts raced

through her mind as she looked

at the contents of her cupboards

strewn all over the floor.

Reed said she expected the

worst as she called out to her son

Stanley and grandson, who live

with her.

Theyre murdered, I

thought, she said. As her fran-

tic screams echoed through the

house, Stanley camerunningup-

stairs and relief washed over

her. They were both unharmed

and were unaware of the burgla-

ry.

Pat said the laptop was taken

fromatable in the loungeand the

safe was broken off from where

it was bolted inside a cupboard

in the bedroom.

I am glad that Stanley did not

come upstairs while the bur-

glars were there. Who knows

what may have happened? she

said.

R1mto fight crime

DALEEN FOUCH

More than R1 million has been

budgeted for security patrols in

the Somerset West CBD in the

first financial year of the pro-

posed Special Ratings Area

(SRA).

If approved, the SRA will be im-

plemented from 1 July 2015. Com-

mercial property owners in the de-

marcated SRA area will pay addi-

tional rates and a committee will

administer thebudget to address se-

curity, marketing and cleaning

services. A full 55% of the first

years expenditure budget, or R1,15

million of the R2,11 million budget,

Theplanprovides for threepublic

during the day and two foot patrol-

lers over weekends. Planning also

includesonepatrolvehicle,manned

with an armed response officer dur-

ing the day and two armed response

officers during the night. Grov ex-

plainsthat thearmedresponseoffic-

The plan also sees the appoint-

ment of a law enforcement officer

via the City of Cape Towns Rent a

Cop programme at R150 000 per

year. The officer will be able to en-

force the Citys by-laws.

In addition, the SRAs five-year

plan provides for a radio and CCTV

network for the CBD. Cameras will

be acquired from the second finan-

cial yearandR100 000 is set aside for

this purpose from year two to five.

Magel Grov, who serves on the

steering committee of the proposed

SRA.She says thepolicedonothave

West CBD, which is why the SRA

business plan places special focus

on visible patrols.

She is confident that the SRAwill

turn the CBD around, as previous

There are currently 27 SRAs in

the City of Cape Town. Grov, who

is also part of the Bellville SRA, the

secondbiggest SRA in theCity, says

this initiative has been hugely suc-

cessful in preventing crime.

The proposed boundaries of the

SRA include the area between An-

dries Pretorius Street and Caledon

Street. TheSRAsteeringcommittee

hasuntil the endof September to ob-

tain the 50%-plus-one votes needed

to lodge an application for the SRA

SomersetWest CBD is worth the fight

DALEEN FOUCH

Business owners and staff alike

havebeenseverelyaffectedby the

wave of armed robberies in the

Somerset West CBD.

However, many remain reso-

lute that theywill not back down.

American Swiss, which was

robbed of R300 000 in cash in Feb-

ruary and had all its stock stolen

from its shelves in a recent rob-

bery, closed its doors in August.

Vans Jewellery in Main Road

is under threat of closure due to

the steep increase in armed rob-

beries.

Sisters Abbygaile Engelbrecht

and Ilona deWitt took over Vans

Jewellery from their father, who

established the business more

than 57 years ago.

Engelbrecht says the business

used to stock top jewellery

brands, but cannot afford to keep

these any longer as theywould at-

tract robbers.

She says the business itself is

doing fine, thanks to its loyal cus-

tomer base, but fears that crime

will drive them out of the CBD.

Fernando and Neves Gatinho,

owners of Central Mini Market,

established in Somerset West in

1946, say they are concerned

about crime in the CBD but will

not give way to criminals.

Fernando says that although

criminals have now moved into

Somerset West, businesses in the

CBD should fight back and not

leave.

He explains that leaving the

CBD will only give criminals

more space tomove into. Somer-

set West is worth fighting for,

he says.

He is all for cameras in theCBD

and for the proposed Special Rat-

ings Area (read more on page 7),

but adds that all businesses in the

CBD need to come to the party.

We need to stay in the CBD and

increase security.

Glynn Bell, owner of Sweet

Manna,saysshehasbeenavictim

of a violent crime, but refuses to

let it influence her life. She says

that although there has been a

spike in armed robberies in the

CBD, she still supports the CBD

shops. We, the shops in the CBD,

need to stick together.

MiriamHoosen, owner of Miri-

amFabrics in theHelderbergVil-

lageWalk, says her business has

been severely affected by the

crimewave. Peopledonotcome

She adds that the number of

people visiting the mall has

dropped over the last year.

Hoosensaysshehasalwaysbeen

walk around and shop in the

CBD like she used to.

Monica and Gavin Durr, own-

ers ofCrumBites, says theyhave

cerned about the wave of armed

installedagate,alarm,andpanic

button in the store. Monica says

she refuses to walk through the

CBD and even drives to the li-

brary which is a mere block

away to avoid being a victim

of crime.

Gavin proposes that the only

way to combat the robberies is to

have a satellite police station in

the Somerset West CBD and ac-

tive foot patrols by police.

A woman who works in a store

in the CBD says she was on duty

when the store was held up by

gunmen late last year. She says

the experience still haunts her,

but adds that she has become

more vigilant and has increased

her personal safety measures.

Anotherarmedrobberybrings total to30

JAMEY GORDON

On the very day the DistrictMail reported

that 29 armed robberies had occurred in

the Helderberg since the beginning of the

year, another armed robbery occurred in

Somerset West this time at Truworths.

The robbery occurred at 17:20 on Thursday

last week and brings to 30 the number of

armed robberies that have hit businesses in

the Helderberg in the last eight months.

Three armed men entered the clothing

store, threatened staff and demanded cash.

They fled the scene with an undisclosed

amount of money from the cash registers and

safe and a Blackberry cellphone.

TheSomersetWest Police are investigating

a case of business robbery.

Businesses are increasingly worried about

safety in the CBD. American Swiss closed its

doors after losing R300 000 in cash in an

armed robbery in February, and having its

shelves cleared in another armed robbery

in July.

DistrictMail asked the SomersetWest Po-

lice to comment on the latest figures and

what was being done about the situation.

Sergeant Suzan Jantjies, spokesperson

for the Somerset West Police, said, We

choose to staywith the comments previous-

lymade regarding the CBD robberies. They

remain abig concern for us andwewill con-

tinue to fight crime in this area, she said.

The station said last week that a number

of measures had been instituted, such as

business forummeetings for business own-

ersandmanagers,andpublicmeetings,ask-

ing people to report suspicious people and

vehicles, share ideas and utilise resources.

Operations are also conducted on a weekly

basis, the station said.

But Tony Cross, member and techni-

cal advisor for the Somerset West

Neighbourhood Watch, says it is diffi-

cult toknowexactlywhat thepoliceare

doingabout thesituationsince theyare

not sharing their strategy.

The situation can only be improved

if police work closely with the various

parties involved in the fight against

crime, says Cross. The problem per-

sists and police cannot solve it alone.

In response to thewaveof armed rob-

beries, the Somerset West Neighbour-

hoodWatch formedaCBDWatchabout

a week ago, says Cross. Their aim is to

harness their eyes and ears to prevent

crime.Around 70 business people have

already joined the initiative. While it will not

stop crime on its own, it adds another layer

of security, says Cross.

Four private security companies have joined

in a community security partnership with the

neighbourhood watch and some of their patrol

vehicles are being stationed in the CBD.

HughRoe, chairpersonof theCommunityPo-

lice Forum (CPF) and operations manager at

HelderbergCrimeWatch(HCW),reckonsthat

police visibility has increased since the spike

and that it is comforting to see more vehi-

cles and uniforms in the CBD.

Helderberg Crime Watch has also stepped

up its visibility in the CBD by increasing foot

and vehicle patrols, as well as having some-

one onamotorbike patrolling the area during

the day from 07:00 to 19:00.

criminals have easy access

into and out of the quiet

neighbourhood.

Another resident who

lives in South Avenue, who

prefers to remain anony-

mous, says he and his family,

like many other residents in

the area, have fallen prey to

burglaries twice in the last

few years. He says the escape

route for many criminals

who target homes in the

neighbourhood is either

through the gate or over the

fence. He says he has wit-

nessed a couple of these get-

aways.

In a recent robbery at one

of the residences, I saw one of

the culprits make off with a

laptop by jumping the fence

and running in the direction

of the Somerset West train

station, says the resident.

Another issue of concern

raised by the resident is the

overgrown grass and weeds

on the open area next to the

railway. The resident says

thatbesidesbeinganeyesore,

the overgrowth serves as the

perfecthidingplaceforcrimi-

nals.

Ithasbeenquiteastruggle

to get the fence up and now

I feel that it has no purpose.

We as residents and rate- and

taxpayers want the gate to be

kept closed permanently and

effectively, says Enslin,

Otherwise well weld it

shut.

Enslin says he has made

numerous calls to Metrorail,

the local municipality and

even the police to communi-

cate theproblemandhopeful-

ly find a solution, but to no

avail.

According to Riana Scott,

spokesperson for Metrorail,

the gate provides access to

their service road and opera-

tional tunnel for mainte-

nance and repairs, and there-

fore closing it off permanent-

ly is not an option. Scott says

they will, however, provide a

sturdier lock to keep the gate

closed.

Given that fencing prima-

rily demarcates railway

boundaries,afencewouldnot

deter wilful entry onto the

rail reserve by persons with

criminal intent, says Scott.

She explains that they do

their utmost to expedite the

replacement of fencing.

Scott claims this fence is

sufficient to fulfil itspurpose,

which is to demarcate the

boundary. The repair and re-

placement of fences across

the Western Cape is priori-

tisedandplannedannuallyin

terms of necessity and imple-

mented according to availa-

ble funding.

She adds that any mainte-

nance and clearance of rub-

ble or weeds is primarily

aimed at keeping the railway

tracks clear and safe for rail

operations. An on-site in-

spectiononFridayconfirmed

that the tracks are safe for op-

eration. The weeds will be

sprayed and grass cut during

our normal clean-up cycle.

She explains that the clean-

upcycledependsonavailable

funding and favourable

weather conditions. There

are therefore no fixed times

or dates for these clean-ups.

DistrictMailsAdoptaSchool

project a big success so far

The Raithby Methodist

Church Primary School is

the school most recently

adopted by the District-

Mails Adopt-a-School

project.

Raithby has been receiv-

ing 25 copies of theDistrict-

Mail, sponsored byHelder-

berg Rotary, for the past

two weeks. The papers are

being used in their class-

rooms for reading,writing,

mathematics and life-

skills projects.

Attie Olivier, principal

of the school, said that so

far the newspapers have

benefited the school in a

big way. They are enrich-

ing our childrens knowl-

edgeaboutwhat isgoingon

around them. Many of

these kids dont have ac-

cess to even one newspa-

per. This makes a big dif-

ference, he said.

Helderberg Rotary are

one of several local organi-

sations and businesses

that have become a part of

the project.

Businesses and organi-

sations can adopt a local

school by sponsoring 25

newspapers per week for

six weeks at half the nor-

mal price.

The project is aimed at

uplifting and empowering

the youth of Helderberg so

that they also enjoy a

brighter future.

So farCaltexGreenways,

ETT Investments, MSQ

Fitment Centre, Access

Auto and Helderberg Rota-

ry have risen to the occa-

sion and six schools are

currently benefiting from

their generous donations.

Lwandleevictees living indifficult circumstances

JAMEY GORDON

No privacy. Hunger. Shared facili-

ties.

Thesearebutsomeof thechallenges

thatmanyoftheLwandleevicteeswho

are still being accommodated in the

Nomzamo Community Halll face dai-

ly.

The residents, directly affected by

the SA National Roads Agency Limit-

eds (Sanral) forced evictions inAsan-

da Village on 2 and 3 June, have been

living in the community hall for the

past three months.

According to Ward 85 Councillor

MbuyiseloMatha,morethan800evict-

ees tookrefuge in thecommunityhall.

Of these, about 400 have already been

relocated to newly erected homes on

theSanral-ownedlandtheywereevict-

ed from initially.

However, Councillor Siyabulela

Mamkeli, the City of Cape Towns

Mayoral Committee Member for Hu-

man Settlements, says that 30 people

were moved into their new homes.

Mamkeli also says that there are

over 300 additional people who have

moved into the Nomzamo hall due to

the recent flooding, and therefore

there are just over 800 people still liv-

ing in the hall.

But whilst some evictees have relo-

cated to their new homes, some resi-

dents hopes of being settled have not

been realised.

Bernadine Olivier (28) and her sev-

en-year-oldsonareamongthefamilies

who have been residing in the hall

since the untimely evictions. Olivier

regards thesituationashellandone

she would not wish upon anyone.

She says theworst is that they have

no privacy. You constantly have peo-

ple around you. Even when using the

bathroom,weuse it ingroups.Ontop

of thisOlivier says: When food ispro-

vided, there is not enough. When we

go to sleep,we have to sharemattress-

es.

A typical day for Olivier would be

waking up at 05:30, like many others,

toprepareforwork,wakingupherboy

forschoolat06:00andleavinghimwith

otherlearnersattendingACJPhakade

Primary School, or their mothers, to

take to school. They then return to the

hall at 17:30, and then thecycle repeats

itself.

Zandile Tomose (32), alongwith her

husband and two children (aged five

and ninemonths respectively), are al-

sostill livinginsidethehall.ForTomo-

se the situation is bad. Her biggest

problem is that they often have to go

tobedhungryandduetothehallbeing

cold and dirty because of the large

number of people it accommodates

her children get sick easily. She says

she often wakes up with a sore body

because she and her family have to

share a mattress and have to use the

bathroomingroupsof fouror five.To-

mose adds that washing and hanging

their clothes at the hall is also a mis-

sion.

It would be better to sleep under a

bridge, than to live in these condi-

tions, says Tomose.

According to Mamkeli, the cost of

cleaning andmaintenance of the com-

munityhall has come toapproximate-

lyR100 000andCityofCapeTownstaff

are on 24-hour stand-by since mainte-

nanceandcleaningaredoneonadaily

basis.

On average R960 is spent on refuse

removal daily. Considering that the

residentshavebeenstaying inthehall

since 3 June, the total cost thus far, as

at28August,hasamountedtoR86520,

he adds.

Mathasays thedelay inmovingpeo-

pleintothenewhomesisduetoadelay

in services such as water and sanita-

tion, the laying and drying of the con-

crete floors in eachhome, and the pro-

vision of material for the erection of

849 homes.

According to Matha, thus far 400

homes have been erected and he was

informed that a further 80 homes

would also be built.

Whether a total of 234 or 849 homes

will be erected for the evictees, will be

confirmed as part of the inquiry into

the Lwandle evictions, says Matha.

Another issue to formpart of the in-

quiry is the fact thatmost residentsdo

not have any furniture.

Matha says some of the evictees be-

longingsweredestroyedorwentmiss-

ingduring the eviction, and that those

whosebelongingscouldbesaved,were

stored at a storage facility.

Some of the Lwandle evictees have already moved into their newly erected homes on the Sanralowned land

Apologiseproperly fordamagingnewsarticle

We refer to the meeting held be-

tween the management of

Strand Neighbourhood Watch

(SNW) and yourselves on 28

August 2014.

We confirm that the manage-

ment of SNW again raised their

serious concernanddisappoint-

ment with the false and mislea-

ding publication on the front

page of the DistrictMail on 10

April 2014, claiming that 90 cars

werebrokenintoduring theear-

ly hours of 4 April 2014 in the

residential area of Strand

North.

Martin Geldenhuys, opera-

tional coordinator of SNW, sent

an e-mail to the DistrictMail on

16 April 2014 stating the actual

facts. The pertinent facts are as

follows:

. SNW, consisting of 16mem-

bers with nine vehicles, partici-

pated ina crimepreventionope-

ration from 03:00 to 06:00 on 4

April in the residential area of

Strand North;

. SNWcan confirm that their

effective patrolling of the area,

the dunes in Beach Road, the

Bird Park and the banks of the

Lourens River had a positive ef-

fectandthatnocrime-relatedin-

cidents were reported during

aforesaid hours in the Strand

North area. This was also con-

firmed by the station comman-

der of SAPS Strand, Colonel

Shaun Van Wyk;

. VanWyk thanked and com-

mendedSNWmembersafter the

operation for their services and

contribution made to make our

residential areas a safer place;

.We were extremely over-

whelmed, astonished and disap-

pointedwhenabovepublication

came to our attention. VanWyk

confirmed that the facts stated

in the publication were not true

and that crime in the Strand

North area actually had de-

creased over a period of time,

which could largely be attribu-

ted to Strand Neighbourhood

Watchs efforts to reduce crime

in the area.

. The community was flood-

ed with this incorrect informa-

tion, which was not only placed

on the front page of the District-

Mail, but also displayed on al-

most each and every lamppost

in the Helderberg. The article

had a serious negative and hor-

rifyingeffectonthecommunity.

SNW was inundated with en-

quiries from the public and it

was clear that the community,

and especially our senior citi-

zens, experienced ahigh level of

fear. The article made all the

goodworkrenderedbySNWun-

done. The trust relationship be-

tween the community and SNW

sufferedseriousdamageandthe

community cannot understand

how it is possible that there

were 90 carbreak-insduring the

same period the SNW launched

a crime prevention operation.

. Themost alarming and dis-

appointingaspect is thattheDis-

trictMail did nothing to rectify

the situationafterSNWbrought

this matter under their atten-

tion, but only offered a vague,

meaninglessandplatitudinous/

lame excuse after a letter was

published in theDistrictMail on

14 August 2014 by the SAPS

Strand under the heading, Ar-

ticle about SAP Strandmakes it

difficult to fight crime.

SNW strongly objects against

the publication of unverified

crimerelatedfactsanddemands

that the DistrictMail rectify the

situation and set the record

straight by offering their apolo-

gy to the public and SNW.

We demand that the District-

Mailplace emphasis on thevital

andimportantrolewhichneigh-

bourhood watches and in this

specific matter, the Strand

Neighbourhood Watch, play in

the prevention of crime in their

various residential areas in col-

laboration with SAPS.

We demand further that the

DistrictMail acknowledge the

important role of SNW in their

relentless sacrifices and en-

deavourstomakeourcommuni-

ty a safer place, in a future arti-

cle.

ADV ANDREW KITSHOFF

CHAIRPERSON: STRAND

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

WE sincerely apologise to the

Strand NeighbourhoodWatch

andour readers for the inaccu-

racies contained in the front

page article Crime wave hits

Helderberg (10 April 2014).

The journalist wrote the arti-

cleafterhercarhadbeenbroken

into and a police officer told her

that he had processed 90 cases

of carbreak-ins thatFriday (Fri-

day 4 April).

The journalist did not inform

the officer that she was a jour-

nalist and that she would be us-

ing his statement in an article.

She asked the Strand Police Sta-

tions spokesperson to confirm

the number of incidents on the

night of 4 April, but the spokes-

person said that the stationmay

notgiveoutstatistics,as these

are released once a year by the

national minister.

Wewere wrong to present the

information as fact in the ab-

sence of official verification.

The information should have

been officially verified, or not

committed to print.

We apologise sincerely to the

Strandpolice, theStrandNeigh-

bourhood Watch and Strand re-

sidents for the negative impacts

of this unverified information.

We apologise, too, for the

length of time it has taken to get

to this point.

We should have apologised

andcorrected therecordas soon

as we had dealt with the com-

plaint.

We will be focusing in an up-

coming edition on the work

done by the Strand Neighbour-

hoodWatch and we hope in this

way to contribute to thepositive

work being done in the commu-

nity Ed.

wat afspeel in die slaperige kusdor-

pie Gordonsbaai. Twee kinders (agt

en elf) het hul vasgeloop teen vyf

misdadigers wat by hulle huis inge-

breek waar hulle sonder toesig ge-

laat is.

Die oudste is deur een van die ro-

wers met die vuis geslaan toe hy nie

vir hulle kon s waar die geld is nie.

Die onvermydelike vraag is hoe

Misdaad is lankal nie meer net

Gauteng se probleem nie; slegs n

drastiese toename is misdaad.

Truworths in Somerset-Wes het

verlede week die 30ste slagoffer van

SouthAfricas leading private small satel-

litecontractor,withbusinessinterestsand

ongoing contracts in numerous countries

around the world, has just established

their headquarters in Somerset Links

Business Park.

The Space Commercial Service Holdings

(SCSH) group consists of a number of subsidi-

ary companies, all specialising in different as-

pects of the high-tech small satellite industry,

and bringswith it 48 on-site personnel to Som-

erset West. They are made up of 37 electrical,

mechanical and process engineers, and some

ninespecialistsinthefieldofIT,Geo-RiskMan-

agement,Geo InformationSystems, andsocial

development. The balance of staff is made up

ofsales,marketing,managementandadminis-

trative personnel.

Apart from buying their own office space at

Somerset Links, the group will further invest

significantly in a clean room facility, a neces-

sary adjunct to any satellite manufacturing

company.Although the clean room is situated

within the normal office area, it is a specially

constructed room which is totally sterile and

thus suitable for the manufacturing of sensi-

tivehightechequipment.Onlypersonnelwith

special clearance will be allowed to enter the

room, and only after they have taken all the

prescribed precautions.

The Helderberg Business Chamber is more

thanpleased by theirmove. SaysDaantjieMa-

lan,chairmanof thechamber:Wearedelight-

ed to welcome Space Commercial Service

Holdings into the Helderberg business frater-

nity. The entire region is to benefit in terms

of job creation and it will certainly send a

strong signal to other industries that the Hel-

derberg Basin is a future business growth

point, especially being adjacent to the huge

Paardevlei development.

The Helderberg Sakekamer welcomed Space Commercial Service Holdings on Tuesday. In
