NOORDHOEK

Flares spark investigationMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

An investigation has been launched intothe fire which ripped through Noord-hoekmoments after the clock struck 12

on New Year’s Eve.The fire sent tongues wagging as several

residents took to social media to report thesighting of flares being shot.According to Theo Layne, spokesperson

for the City of Cape Town’s Fire and RescueServices they were called at 00:11 to attendtheblaze on themountain slopesnearSilver-mine Road. He reported a large vegetationfire which took firefighters up to 11 hoursto extinguish.Just after 05:00 on Thursday 1 January,

helicopters were dispatched to drop waterbombs.By 11:00 firefighters successfully put out

the blaze and stayed on the scene until 18:00to monitor flare-ups and deal with hotspots.Asked about the cause of the fire, Layne

confirmed officials suspect it was caused bya flare but explains the cause was still beinginvestigated.A resident from Stonehaven, who spoke

on condition of anonymity, confirmed see-ing flares shortly after midnight.She explains a few minutes later she real-

ised there was a fire and called firefighters.Last week Rob Erasmus, from Enviro

Wildfire Services, informed residents theyhad been appointed by Table Mountain Na-tional Park (TMNP) to investigate the fire.He explains having found the flares as the

cause, they were now looking for those re-sponsible.Erasmus explains after studying the inci-

dent, they have a list of possible propertiesthe flares could have come from.They are now calling on witnesses who

saw the flares go up in the night sky to comeforward and give their accounts.He says investigators will look at where

the witnesses were standing at the time todetermine where the flares came from.Erasmus explains theywill then approach

the property owner about recovering thecosts to put out the blaze.Should the responsible property owner

refuse, they will proceed with criminalcharges.“There are about four to five charges that

canbe laid.Wearehoping todiscuss themat-terwith those responsible first before laying

any charges,” Erasmus explains.He further elaborates on the dangers of

setting off flares in residential areas andsays in seaside suburbs this is problematic.“When flares are spotted and reported, the

National Sea Rescue Institute are requiredto mobilise volunteers to assist. Secondly itcould result in a fire, like this case,” he says.Over the festive period,more than 100 peo-

plewere displaced inMasiphumelele follow-ing several fires.Giving an overview of fires in the Far

South, Layne explains the first took placeearly in December along Slangkop Road.The fire which spread to Kommetjie had

firefighters and volunteers on their toes astheyworked through the night to put out theflames.Ocean View also mourned the loss of vol-

unteer Andrew Jantjies, who collapsedwhile assisting with the fire.On Sunday 7 December, firefighters were

called to a fire inMasiphumelele at 12:48.No-body was injured in the blaze which rippedthrough 10 dwellings and displaced 45 peo-ple.Layne says in this incident it is suspected

that anunattended candle fell over and start-ed the fire.On Thursday 11 December, a vegetation

fire broke out near Red Hill Informal Settle-ment.Layne says the wall of one dwelling was

burnt by the fire and it is suspected the firewas started by wood cutters.In his report, Layne also outlines the de-

tails of another fire in Masiphumelele onTuesday 23 December.In the first incident an unattended open

fire caused one dwelling to burn down.“When we arrived the fire was already

out. We checked to ensure it had been extin-guished properly. Nobody was injured andthree people were displaced,” he says.V To page 3.

AGREEMENT

Film crews zoom inNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

An agreement between thefilm industry and the na-tional home affairs depart-

ment has smoothed the way forinternational business.The agreement now makes it

easier for international filmteams to travel to the country,explainsMonica Rorvik, head ofFilm Promotion at Wesgro, theWestern Cape’s official tourism,trade and investment promotionagency.The agreement takes into con-

sideration two types of travel-lers to South Africa: the over-sight group – which consists ofclient, agency and productioncompany personnel – and thespecialist group – which com-prises of actors, models, direc-tors, DPs, technicians andart de-partment.“According to the agreement,

theoversight group fromvisa ex-empt countries will now be ableto travel to South Africa withouthaving to pre-apply at a SouthAfrican embassy. The specialistgroup will still need to apply inadvance to the South Africanembassy but the requirementshave been streamlined,” Rorviksays.“We are delighted with the

outcome reached with the De-partment of Home Affairs. Thenew agreement is a positive forus and goes a long way in facili-tating the promotion and growth

of the film industry.”The Cape Film Commission

has also welcomed the an-nouncement, says CEO DenisLille.The film industry in Cape

Town is quite a lucrative indus-try for local entrepreneurs,small businesses and the localeconomy, says Tourism, Eventsand Economic Development act-ing executive director Teral Cul-len.“This booming industry en-

sures valuable skills transferfrom international crews to ourlocal crews, which is critical tothe future sustainability of theindustry,” she says.Last year, 10 309 film bookings

were made, with 6 741 permitsbeing issued for various shoots,Cullen says.“In the current tough global

economic environment, thecountryneeds to remain compet-itive in asmany sectors as possi-ble. The film production sectoradds value to a wide range of ad-ditional sectors in the local econ-omy by creating a demand forproducts and services –withpar-ticularly strong links to the tour-ism sector. The industry alsoshowcases Cape Town, its diver-sity of locations, technical filmcapacity and talent, and address-es seasonality.“Cape Town is a popular film-

ing location offering good natu-

ral lighting and providing value-added marketing and invest-ment collateral for the city andthe country,” she says.The local film industry has

over the past three years createdmore than 35 000 jobs and con-tributed approximately R5bn tothe economy, Cullen says.“This is a highly competitive

industry globally, with each des-tination jostling to attract morefilm companies to their shores.Not only Cape Town, but SouthAfrica, needs to continually en-sure that it remains an attrac-tive destination for locationfilming in order to maintain itsinternational reputation,” shesays.

CRIME

Body not yet identifiedMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

While news about the body of an un-known man found at Fish Hoekbeach rocked the Far South over the

festive season, police say no other seriouscrimes were reported.

According to an online report by the Peo-ple’s Post, the body of a man believed to bebetween 55 and 60 years oldwas foundboundat the bottom of a buoy by Shark Spottersearly on Friday as they were removingshark nets.

According to police spokesperson CaptainStephenKnapp, officers arrived on the sceneshortly after 10:30 after receiving a call fromthe Shark Spotters.

“They had discovered the body while re-moving shark nets and called SAPS,” hesaid.

Knapp explained the body was tied to thecable of a mooring block keeping the buoyanchored but afloat, and the shark netsabove water.

Giving an overview of crime over the fes-tive season Muizenberg cluster commanderColonel Martin Swanepoel explained thiswas one of two incidents in the clusterwhichcovers Simon’s Town, Ocean View, FishHoek, Muizenberg and Hout Bay police sta-tions.

The man has not yet been identified andpolice are still investigating the matter.

Swanepoel says in cases like this, policeusually look at missing persons reports butto date none of these reports match a report-ed missing person.

In the second incident which took place inHout Bay, a 29-year-old woman was stabbedat a flat. Shedied on the scene and twopeople

were arrested for murder.Swanepoel says the Simon’s Town pre-

cinct was “very quiet” over the festive peri-od.

Police also kept a close eye on Ocean Viewand Soetwater Resort and Swanepoel re-ports no serious incidents.

“OceanView precinct and Soetwaterwerevery sweet this festive season,” he says.

Commenting on crime concerns, he high-lighted the beaches as the main problem.

Swanepoel explains despite warningsabout alcohol on beaches, several batherscontinued to do so.

He says officers conducted several search-

es as more than 30 000 people came to FalseBay beaches on New Year’s Day (Thursday1 January).

“Kalk Bay beach was very popular thisseason but we need to sort out the jurisdic-tion problems,” he adds.

Tony Trimmel, chairperson of the KalkBay/St James Residents’ and Ratepayers’Association (KBSJRRA), sayswith anactionplan between the City of Cape Town and theHarbour Master, Kalk Bay beach made acomplete turnaround this season.

Lifeguards, Law Enforcement and clean-ers ensured the beach was kept in tip-topshape.

This follows several complaints from resi-dents in recent months about alcohol abuse,open fires and drownings at the beach.

Trimmel says there has been a major im-provement at the beach and said hewas veryimpressed with the efforts of the harbourand beach team.

In addition,Muizenberg police had a satel-lite station on Kalk Bay Main Road andTrimmel believes this made a difference inthe area.

Assisted by volunteers several arrestswere made. “Residents have been crying fora change for many years and we are happyto see the changes,” he adds.

Subcouncil strategy for 2015MONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A bold plan to tackle social issues inOcean View is on the cards for 2015.This was revealed by South Peninsula

Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Purchaselate last year.She explained ongoing social problems

were having a negative impact on themoun-tainside community and this year the sub-council hopes to address many of these chal-lenges.As part of the plan, the subcouncil wants

to continue the roll out of theMayoralUrbanRegeneration Programme (Murp).The plan includes a vision to create a care

centre in Ocean Viewwhich will focus on is-sues faced by Early Childhood Development(ECD) centres, disabled and elderly resi-dents, drug users and victims of crime andabuse. The centre is also set to focus on teenpregnancies and operate as a skills develop-ment centre to assist with employment.Purchase explained while working with

the Murp committee many of these issueswere raised and a strategy devised.“We are trying to get to the bottom of all

these problems and in our discussions wehave found that we will have to start withthe ECD centres,” she said.Purchase further explained when looking

at the number of children who dropped outof school, the group identified the need to en-sure children were properly developed at ayoung age.The plan emphasises the need for a holis-

tic approach to combat the negative effectsof social problems.Purchase also said while the centre will

not be exclusive to Ocean View it will focuson this community in the early stages.Identifying key opportunities to improve

tourism in the Far South will also featurehigh on the agenda for 2015.With a variety of hiking trails, Purchase

explained the subcouncil were looking atways to implement heritage hiking trailswhere visitors could learn more about thehistory and development of the south while

enjoying the views. The subcouncil plans tocreate tourism opportunities and find a wayto leverage off the coastal gem.InMasiphumelele, officials are still trying

to find a solution to the water debacle at theAmakhaya Ngoku housing development.Purchase says the water bill remains un-

paid and officials are now analysing whattheir options are and whether the City ofCape Town would need to take over.“We have to find a way forward to resolve

all the issues,” she said.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Where is thefriendly guard?We had a cheerful, helpful and evervigilant car guard who worked in theparking lot behind AP Jones in FishHoek. He also worked at the beach in theevenings and on Saturday nights at thecivic centre.He was never too weary to say good

day with a smile. What happened to him?I think his name was Franchesco.If he’s on leave, may he come back

soon. If he’s moved away and found abetter paying job - all the best dear carguard, but I miss you!

ANONYMOUS,Fish Hoek

Stolen propertyMuizenberg police continually recoverstolen goods as a result of vigilant andactive patrolling, as well as with theassistance of the community.Although convictions are achieved with

these arrests, it is often a difficult task tolocate the original owners of the stolenitems. On an ongoing basis, mediaarticles are placed in the local papers toinvite people to identify their property,but this exercise has yielded little fruit.In light of this, we would like to

encourage the community to keep a listof all serial numbers of their propertyand when purchasing new items toimmediately write these down and keepthem in a safe place.

We furthermore urge them to providethis information to the police whenreporting cases or identifying their stolengoods.It would also be beneficial if property

is marked in a personalised fashion sothat it may be easily identifiable. Thiswill not only alleviate the difficulty ofreturning the property to its owner, butwould also allow us to pursue the sus-pects for conviction of the originaloffence, such as a robbery or housebreak-in and not only for the possessionof the stolen goods.Anybody who feels that they may be

able to identify stolen goods is asked toplease make an appointment with Ser-geant Liezel George on (021) 787 9012.

Muslim Judicial Council condemns Paris attackThe Muslim Judicial Council (SA)condemns the brutal and horrific attackwhich resulted in the death of 12 peopleat the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris.There is no justification for the killing

of innocent people as the life of everyhuman being is sacred. This senselesskilling cannot be an act committed in thename of any religion as no religion

promotes injustice and crimes againsthumanity.Whilst we are living during a period

where there is a marked increase ofblasphemous publications which insultand degrade the noble character of theProphet Muhammad Peace By Upon Himand the Muslim global community, theseprovocative publications cannot justifia-

bly be the reason for violent response. Afew years ago Muslims in South Africaset a precedent in their response to theblasphemous Jyllands Posten cartoonsand hosted a peaceful protest march of100’s of thousands of people in CapeTown.This resulted in apologies from the

media in South Africa who understood

that whilst we have the right to freedomof expression, expressions that containthe elements of hate speech is recklessand highly irresponsible as the demon-ised and vilified group are insulted,humiliated and could potentially havetheir basic human rights violated.We convey our sincere condolences to

the families of all those killed duringthese senseless attacks.

St Martin’s stun YankeesJOSEPH PILLAY

The second half of the Western ProvinceSoftball Federation’s season resumedin all earnest at Turfhall Stadium on

Saturday.And while Falcons worked their way to a

hard-earned 6-4 victory against a gutsy Ken-fac Phillies side, Tantasportwas equal to thetask in beating VOB 7-4.

St Martin’s, meanwhile, turned the tablesin recording a shock 4-3win over arch-rivalsWestridge Yankees from Mitchell’s Plain inthe Super League competition that hadmany fans smiling from ear to ear.

However, coach Wayne May and his Gl-enthorn-Athlone side, still sporting an un-beaten run to date, were not in action butare well-placed at the top of the standingshaving won all of their nine games with afull quota of 18 points in the bag.

They are two points ahead of second-placed Falcons (16 points) who have playedten matches to date.

Nonetheless, with St Martin’s havingdowned Westridge Yankees and causing thelatter to suffer their fourth defeat in ninematches – Saints have moved up the ladderto third position with 11 points from 10 as-signments.

Head coach Natasha de Klerk’s Yankeesleft it too late.

Trailing 4-0 at the top of the fifth inning,Yankees awoke from a deep slumber and inthe sixth batting frame registered their firstruns on the scoreboard when Aimee-LeighCampbell,GlynisKoopmanandNuraanWil-liams each crossed the home plate.

However, the three runs were not enoughto salvage a point or turn defeat into victory.Yankees is seemingly no longer the team tobeat in the league or the biggest name in the

game.Neither do they drive fear into opposition

teams, leading to a number of hardcore soft-ball fans questioning whether the club willever return to their former glory again andchallenge for the title.

Besides Saints pitcher Lindsay Damonshowing her mettle on the mound, the high-light of the Bishop Lavis side’s well-de-served victory was the solo circuit hit – thehome run belonging to Elderisha Langen-hoven, who batted 1-1.

Langenhoven was ably supported by Na-waal Nacerodien, Bonita Cloete (three bag-ger) each 1-2, Danielle Ford and Kim Cloete(each 1-3) in which Saints smacked five hitsoff Yankees pitcher Megan Cable.

Cable in her sixth inning earned fourstrike outs, but also struggled to find theplate as she conceded seven base-on-ballsand the scoreline couldhavebeenbiggerhad

it been that Saints left seven stranded be-tween bases.

However, Lindsay Damon held her nerveand pitched a steady game with a well mar-shalled field that ably assisted her in almostregistering a shut-out victory to her name,considering that Yankees loaded the basestwice in the third and sixth frame but couldonly once score runs due to poor batting.

Damon, in her six inning contest, claimedtwo scalps and allowed three base-on-ballswhile she gave up three scattered hits ofwhich Aimee-Lee Campbell, Glynis Koop-man and Roxanne Ohlsson fared best forYankees with the bat.

Adding to the thrills and spills in the Ma-jor League, Strandfontein Mets placed sec-ond on the log, beat Belhar Dolphins 11-0while Avendale and Normies shared thespoils 3-3 in an exciting and thrill-a-minuteshowdown.

FAREWELL: A paddle-out and wake to celebrate the life and times of SA surfing legend Vernon Castle was held at Long Beach in Kommetjie on Saturday. A popular, strong paddlinggoofy-foot, who manufactured surfboards under his own Surflite label, Vernon won multiple WP surfing titles in various age divisions between 1974 and 1986 and featured in several trialsto select Springbok teams. He became the WP team coach and a committee member in the 1980s before being appointed Springbok surfing coach in 1987. Castle’s ashes were sprinkled inthe ocean at Kommetjie in a traditional surfing farewell. PHOTO: NEIL BRADFIELD
