Eyesore:Eyesore:cellphone mastTERESA FISCHER

SIMON’S Town residents have been fight-ing thepositioningof aproposed11mhighVodacom cellphone mast since 2008.

DomParker, speaking of behalf of residentsin and around Watsonia Road, says he wantsthe community to be aware of certain pointsahead of a community meeting to be held to-morrow (Wednesday).He is part of a group of concernedMurdoch

Valley residents who are against the mast be-ing erected on the mountainside “right nextto their houses”.“Visually there will be a whopping great

structure sticking up from the mountainside,” says Parker.He adds if the mast was approved there is

nothing stopping other cellphone providers“piggy backing” onto it, making it bigger.He also raises concerns such as the nega-

tive impact on property values and potentialhealth risks.“There are quite a few serious environmen-

tal issues that are being ignored to push thisproject through,” says Parker, adding he ishappy to forward these points to whoever isinterested.Andre van der Spuy, an environmental

consultantwho lives in the area, says the veg-etation of the area is Southern PeninsulaGranite Fynbos, which he says has endan-gered status.

Van der Spuy believes an EnvironmentalApplication and Basic Assessment is re-quired.He says because the proposed site is on a

ridge and breaks the skyline, this will havea “significant and negative impact”.VanderSpuysays currently theyareawait-

ing a decision by the provincial Departmentof Environmental Affairs and DevelopmentPlanning, following an appeal.Parker questions whether the Simon’s

Town community is aware that if this mastis approved there are “at least four more sta-tions” to come at Boulders, Seaforth, BlackMarlin and Rocklands.Parker says there are alternative sites

away from residential buildings.Headds thiswould removemost of the envi-

ronmental and health and safety issues.The other option, he says is to put a stringof smaller stations along the borders of Si-mon’s Town – about the size of an average sat-ellite dish.He says if residents need better cellphone

coverage they can ask their cellphone provid-er to install an aerial on their house. He saysMTN provides this for free.Parker says they recognise the need for in-

creased cellphone reception in Simon’sTown. But, he says, people should apply theirminds and make the right decisions for thegood of the whole community and environ-ment.He concludes: “If anyone would like more

information please feel free to contact me [email protected].”The Simon’s Town Community Police Fo-

rum, Civic Association, Business Associa-tion, and residents living south of Seaforthwill meet tomorrow at 18:00 at Simon’s TownCountry Club.Phone Roy Burnie on (021) 786 1806.

Lady and the hunky trampLady and the hunky trampDear reader,

At my rather mature age, I had my firstreal experience of “ladies’ night”.

I was actually after the goodie bag anupmarket establishment tantalised within their invitation promising a “wonder-ful party to end Women’s Month”.

My friend was up for the challenge, butdisappointingly, we did not get goodiebags because we had not reserved.

What we got – and hadn’t reserved ei-ther – was enough half naked, muscularmen serving us delicate snacks. Our wishwas their command.

The mix of women were mainly young,some older.

When my friend asked me whether thiswas “for desperate women”, I bounced thequestion off one of the topless lads who re-taliated: “No, it’s for women who wantsomething”.

Well, count me out. Iwasn’t there for anythingother than a new experienceand a few fun hours in aclassy place with a goodfriend. In any event, I havesomething at home (my hus-band, who knew my wherea-bouts).

Venturing on, we weretreated to no drinks, as thefreebie drinks were alcohol-ic, no snacks as we’d filledup earlier on a tasteless beefwrap at a Turkish cafe, andno entertainment as the music and fash-ion show were not to our taste.

The fashion show seemed to drag on andwas followed by a make-up lesson. In fair-ness, my friend and I were listening to allthis from comfy couches far from the ac-tion. We opted to not see the fashion and

make up demo by a guywhom we explicitly heardsaying that we should ap-ply foundation to our lipsas well, “to bring it all to-gether”. Useful tip – in factso useful it stopped us tak-ing photos of ourselves, er,ourselves with the hunkyeye candy. Within secondsof posting these pictures onFacebook, I had 12 likes, ofwhich 11 were female.

Two hours later, we werebored and all the gorgeous

guys in the world couldn’t persuade usotherwise – until I found a novel use forone.

Declining his offer of “something fromthe bar”, I tasked him with going insearch of a hot chocolate, telling him itwas close to my bedtime and I needed a

hot beverage before I left. The cutie deliv-ered.

After agreeing to some passive smokingon the roof deck with my smoker friend,we left for home, only to find that my carhad been locked in at the parking area I’dchosen for safety reasons.

The security guard had gone on hisrounds and we had no choice but to waitfor him; enough time for an opportunisticlittle man to approach us with intent ofsnatching our bags. He did not succeed.

What I learnt from my “ladies’ night”out is that it’s better to always take a manalong.

Bursaries available for deaf studentsA TOTAL of 30 bursaries are beingoffered to deaf or hearing impairedstudents.

The bursaries are for candidateswanting to be trained as laminatorsto work in the plastics industry –from boat building to swimming poolconstruction and canopy construc-tion.

Plastics SA and training partnersWhisper Boat Building Academy(WBBA) and the Marine IndustryAssociation of SA are inviting deafstudents to apply for bursaries fund-ed by the Manufacturing, Engineer-ing and Related Services Educationand Training Authority (merSETA).The bursaries will allow them totrain in the art of working with com-posites from this month to Decem-ber. Plastics SA regional trainingmanager Jo Fitzell says this will bethe third intake of students who aredeaf or hard of hearing.

“There is a tremendous shortageof skilled labour in the Western Capeboat building industry and the deafstudents who graduate from thiscourse offer a welcome relief and asought-after skill that allows them towork in a variety of fields in the plas-tics industry,” Fitzell says.

Peter Jacops founded the WBBA asa non-profit organisation to teachdeaf students from the townships theart of boat building in 2004 .

“Research has shown that 40% ofyoung South Africans between theages of 16 and 25 are unemployed anddo not go to school,” says Jacops.“Disabled youngsters have an evenbigger problem and face even greater

obstacles as there are not many op-portunities or job facilities that caterfor their specific needs.”

Training takes place with the helpof a full-time sign language inter-preter and consists of classroom-based theoretical training at thePlastics SA offices in Maitland, com-bined with practical workplace expe-rience, presented as individual skillsprogrammes, offered at the new WB-BA facilities in Epping Industria.

The opportunity is open to menand women students who are 18 orolder, deaf or hearing impaired, butable to speak sign language.

Successful candidates must have avalid SA identity document, be will-ing to learn, enjoy working withtheir hands and be willing to committo full-time studying.

rector says the UNESCO apprentices’ trainingmay have to be suspended pending more fund-raising.She adds there was no forced entry and the

Baboon killed by authoritiesTERESA FISCHER

PETER, a 15-year-old baboon, waskilled in the week, but SANParks hasnot confirmedwhen,where orhow thistook place.

People’s Post submitted specific ques-tions to SANParks, but they were left un-answered.One activist, who askednot to be named,

believes the baboon was shot by SAN-Parks on Tuesday.Peter was one of four baboons targeted

for death by the authorities. Force, Merlinand Carpenter have until now evaded au-thorities.SANParks spokesperson Merle Collins

confirms the euthanasia took place lastweek. She says it was done to reduce thefrequency and severity of raiding beha-viour.“Under current management pro-

grammes, the Peninsula baboon popula-tion – 475 at last census – is growing steadi-ly and is not endangered or under threat.”She says although baboons should for-

age in the natural spaces they are often fedor have access to urban areas and humanfood, which results in raiding.Collins says management decisions re-

garding raiding baboons are subject to as-sessment by recognised wildlife manage-ment experts and are supported by aca-demic research and elected civicrepresentatives living on the Peninsula.Dr Phil Richardson, a behavioural ecol-

ogist from the newly-appointed serviceprovider Human Wildlife Solutions, saysthe euthanised baboon was an ex-alphamale of the Da Gama troop and was de-posed in 2008.Professor Justin O’Riain, of the Depart-

ment of Zoology at UCT, says splintergroups are typically composed of deposedalpha males or low-ranking adult malesand a small group of often lower rankingadult females and their immediate off-spring.He adds splinter groups “raid at a much

higher frequency than the parent group”.

He says there are currently four splintertroops on the Peninsula at Scarborough,Redhill, Da Gama 2 and Zwaanswyk.Richardson says: “Splinter troops inva-

riably become raiding baboons and teachthis bad behaviour to females and veryyoung males. Once learned, the cycle ofraiding behaviour continues unabated.”He says as the head of this splinter

group, this baboon became one of the“worst raiders in the area,” making thelives of residents in Da Gama and Wel-come Glen a “living nightmare”.Richardson adds: “In the past six

months, raiding behaviour in Da Gamahas escalated to unacceptable levels.”He says in the last three weeks, Peter

raided sixhouses in theWelcomeGlen andDa Gama areas.“In one case, he broke in through the

eaves of the roof and gained access to thehouse through the ceiling, causing consid-erable damage.“He was then able to open windows and

doors, allowing the rest of the troop accessto mount a full-scale raid of the house,”says Richardson.According to Richardson, this baboon

also broke a window with stones. He

gnawed the wooden window frame andthen used his fingers to pull it open.He says residents take all the necessary

precautions to ensure that all windowsand doors are secured, but adds the DaGamasplinter troophave long since learnthow to break in.He says residents who are not able to af-

ford security bars on all doors and win-dows, live in “constant fear” they will re-turn home to this type of devastation.Richardson adds as a consequence they

now despise the baboons.“This is the harsh reality of life on the

ground in the conflict hotspot of Da Gamaand, while many people are to blame foractively encouraging baboons into urbanareas, there are also many innocent vic-tims whose right to a safe and secure life-style have been repeatedly compromisedby these hardened raiders.”

A new smile – agift for a lifetimeACHILDwith a deformity suffers. Thebutt of teasing and taunting fromotherchildren, the afflicted child is usuallyostracised, isolated, lonely, self-con-scious and depressed.

The child’s family suffers too.A child with a cleft lip and palate suffers

terribly. The malformation is literally “inyour face”. It is a battle to eat, to breathe,to speak and one in 10 children born withthis facial irregularity dies from malnutri-tion. The milk suckled from the mothercomes out through the nose.

Last Monday, a fundraiser was hostedin the Fish Hoek Civic Centre by Viv vonder Heyden and Kim Kruyshaar of blogThe Scenic South in aid of OperationSmile, an organisation that provides freereconstructive surgery to children aroundthe world who suffer from facial defects.

Guest speaker was adventurer BraamMalherbe of 50/50 fame who has under-taken two extreme expeditions in aid ofOperation Smile.

Von der Heyden says: “Also speakingwas a beautiful young woman, Carla vanZijl, who spoke of the trauma she has expe-rienced having been born with a cleft pal-ate and a cleft lip, describing the financial,emotional and physical difficulties thatshe and her single “supermom”, Cheryl,

have had to overcome as she underwentfive operations, braces, speech therapy...and the emotional traumas mentionedabove.”

She says despite this all, Van Zijl is oneof the lucky ones. Approximately one in750 babies in Africa is born with either acleft palate or lip, and most face a dire fu-ture. Operation Smile with your help canhelp some of them. Since 2006, OperationSmile South Africa has treated over 1650children, both within South Africa and incountries such as the DRC, Madagascarand Rwanda. An operation costs R5500,with doctors and other staff giving theirtime for free.

“On Monday night R4 100 was raised. Itis a great pity that a speaker of the calibreof Braam Malherbe was not able to drawmore of a crowd from our valley, enablingat least one child to have a new and bright-er future,” she says.

Von der Heyden adds: “Malherbe en-couraged us all to do one thing to make apositive difference. Would it not be won-derful to know that we as a communityhave enabled at least one child to face abright new future with hope and accept-ance and joy? We have a R1400 shortfalland call on you to make this wish a reali-ty.” Phone Viv on 084 685 2641 or email:[email protected].

IN THE same week the City of Cape Townlaunched the Muizenberg AssessmentCentre, 35 homeless people were evictedfrom the Zandvlei Community Centre.

The latter, two babies among them, wereevicted to make way for the City’s TrafficServices.The Assessment Centre plans to provide

access to an emergency shelter for streetpeople and assess their needs.But residents of Amberley Road in Mui-

zenberg object to the location of this facilityin their street. They are angry because theysay they were not notified or consultedabout the plans.Terry Bell, a resident, tells People’s Post

he had been told by the ward councillor,David D’Alton, that “even he had not beeninformed”.D’Alton says until the situation is final-

ised by the City, he is not in the position tocomment as this “could lead to specula-tion”.Regarding the Zandvlei evictions, D’ Al-

ton says the homeless had been “illegally al-lowed to occupy the building by the recent-ly-evicted tenants”.He says the City gave the people “repeat-

ed notices” as well as “numerous exten-sions over many months” to vacate thepremises. “While one has to be sympatheticto their plight, illegal occupation of a build-ing cannot be condoned,” says D’Alton.He adds the City is “well aware of the

problems faced by homeless people and islooking at different and more innovativeways to address this”.The centre was launched on Tuesday at

the corner of Beach and Atlantic roads, af-ter a last-minute venue change.Councillor Beverley Cortje-Alcock, May-

oral CommitteeMember for SocialDevelop-ment and Early Childhood Development atthe City, says: “We realise how dire a situa-tion can become if left without any inter-vention over time.”She says the needs of people wanting get

off the street could be assessed for interven-tions, while at the same time providing ac-cess to emergency shelter and a meal. “Thecentre is not a homeless shelter and there-fore does not seek to provide people with

long-term accommodation,” she says, add-ing emergency shelter is deemed to be for72 hours.She says street people will have access to

a social worker who can refer them to reha-bilitation facilities, hospitals, assist withapplications for social grants, skills devel-opment, job readiness preparation, person-al hygiene and possible job opportunities.Regarding residents’ objections she says

there has “only been one objection” to the

provision of an emergency shelter to streetpeople at the Amberley Road address origi-nally proposed for this purpose.Asked if he knew if they would be accom-

modated at the Assessment Centre, JasonTalmakkies, one of the evicted homeless,says: “They (The City) sing us a song, thenthey sell the album somewhere else and wedon’t hear the records playing.”Cortje-Alcock adds: “The City and its

partner, EMCE Coaching, has in the inter-est of good relations and community in-volvement, decided to have further andbroader engagements with all the stake-holders, including the ward councillor, tojointly find and agree on the best possibleplace for provi-ding emergency shelter topersons found on the streets of Muizen-berg.”She says they understand the residents’

fears and wish by “thorough consultationand participation, not only to allay thesefears, but have real buy-in”.Bell says years ago he campaigned for ad-

equate facilities to be made available forhomeless people, adding he supported amooted project to convert the Zandvleibuilding into a shelter andpossible trainingcentre.Meanwhile, Ruby Gelderbloem, Director

of Property Management at the City, saysa High Court order was served by the Sher-iff on Friday 3August for the Zandvlei occu-pants to vacate the property by Friday 17August. The eviction was peacefully com-pleted on Friday, despite threats of violenceearlier in the week.She says the eviction was not subject to

providing alternative accommodation.

THREEmonths after a contro-versial painting of presidentJacob Zuma by artist BrettMurray, a new painting hassurfaced. CapeTownartistAy-anda Mabulu’s painting de-picts a well-endowed Zuma,dancing in traditional Zulucostume. People’s Post readersshared their views of the newartwork with interns Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and LuzukoZini, who also took the photos.

DISRESPECTFUL: Luqmaan Timmbelieves artists should be sensitive.“Respect needs to be shown. Evenif one does not like him, he is still ourpresident and he needs to be respected for that.”

WRONG: Lunelle Davids says thepainting is a clear insult to the president. “The artist is making fun of ourpresident and that is wrong, especially when the artist draws privateparts.”

VIOLATION: Khuthala Ndolondolosays Zuma’s rights are being violated. “He is the father of the nation andshould be respected nomatter what.We are not supposed to see his private parts; only he must see it.”

NOT FUNNY: Clint Williams believesthe artist is wrong. “That is our president and these paintings are morally wrong. Some may think it is funny,but I don’t because it is a sign of disrespect.”

DEPENDS: Tyrel Stober says youropinion depends on how you view thematter. “Some people may think it isfunny and some will think it is disrespectful.”

NOT ACCEPTABLE: Allan Africa says peopleneed to respect our leaders. “Each person isentitled to a certain amount of privacy and respect and those have been violated with thesepaintings.”

HUMILIATING: Vanessa Brink sayspeople should keep their opinions tothemselves. “This is very disturbing, even if the artist doesn’tlike him they should respect Zuma instead ofmaking him and hisfamily feel humiliated.”

New Zuma painting: but is it art?New Zuma painting: but is it art?

People’s Post False Bay LEADER Tuesday 4 September 2012

New heritageWITHHeritageDayonMonday24September,the decision to rename some Cape Townstreets has been made in good time.The street renaming debate will continue

unabated.This is an emotional issue. There will al-

ways be detractors.Some may breathe a sigh of relief at the re-

naming of Hendrik Verwoerd Drive to UysKrige Drive and the offensively-named Na-tive Yard (NY1), whichwill be renamed SteveBiko Drive.The street renaming should be perceived as

anattempt at redressing part of this country’spainful past – and, hopefully, to leave it bur-ied.But Heritage Day has itself been unofficial-

ly rebranded National Braai Day.This in itself speaks of a lack of sentiment

towards our national heritage.And it may not be such a bad thing.Ask most locals if they know the people

who, until now, have had streets named forthem.Most won’t know who Hendrik Verwoerd

was. Or Coen Steytler.Fast forward to two decades from now and

who will remember Walter Sisulu or RobertSobukwe?Admittedly, many will remember Nelson

Mandela, but as for the rest?Contemporary history will give most of

these political icons a line in the annals of ourhistory books.By comparison, ask any tourist what they

love about Cape Town and they will say it isthe friendly people, the natural beauty of thecity, the different cultures, fine food andwine.These are reasons enough to draw foreign-

ers to our country.A braai on a Monday? Why not? Celebrat-

ing Heritage Day with friends and family isperhaps a suitable heritage.One that is worth building on.

Alcohol remains the scourgeYOUR front page article about Fish Hoek re-maining a dry town (“Fish Hoek drought toend?”, People’s Post, 21 August) refers.Undoubtedly, this will be a contentious issue

and goes a lot deeper than a single grocer apply-ing for a licence to sell liquor.As an elected public representative serving

on several committees (Education, Health, So-cial Welfare and Community Safety) where theeffects of especially the abuse of alcohol get re-ported on, I would like to give some input.The presence of alcohol plays the single big-

gest role in violent crime in South Africa, in-cluding murder and rape, drowning and fatalvehicle accidents. It is the singlemost prevalentfactor in domestic abuse.The question that needs to be asked is: will

the sale of alcohol from grocers in Fish Hoek(and once one is granted any of the other shopscan apply) add to this problem by increasingavailability?I know (Julian) Hobson and I know the Pick

n Pay brand and have no doubt their request,although commercially driven, is also groundedin responsible community values. But does thisapply to other vendors who will also apply forlicences? Although the Province and the Cityare rigorously applying the new liquor laws

they cannot deny an applicant without justcause.The Fish Hoek station area is a funnel point

of workers coming and going. Would there bea downstream effect for their families should agrocer in that area apply for a licence?Currently, Fish Hoek is protected by histori-

cal title deeds but thiswill fall away if precedentis set.Another consideration is that the Fish Hoek

Valley has, and continues to, produce substan-tial numbers of top class sports peoplewho havegrown up in a society where the availability ofalcohol has been fairly restricted. Recent exam-ples are some members of the Olympic hockeysquad, several world champions in water-relat-ed sports and soccer stars. Yes, the clubs do sellalcohol, but this is a controlled environmentand goes hand in glovewith healthy physical ex-ertion.Will this proud legacy be affected if the next

generation of youth are tempted by a greateravailability of alcohol?As much as one is tempted to say people must

learn to be responsible in their behaviour andthat caveat emptor should apply, the reality ofour life is a bit different.MARK GE WILEY, MPP

Words that hurtHOW pastoral of you Pastor Mark Harris. Youstand in your capacity of a clergyman and callpeople less fortunate than yourself derogatorynames (“Licensewill bring flood”,People’s Post,28 August).

You refer to shoppers at Pick n Pay and Sparin Valyland as “the dear elderly people of FishHoek”. Yet, you refer to the less fortunate as“winos”.Would it not be more beneficial to say some-

thing less hurtful to others?TOMMOMarina da Gama

Alcoholism iscomplicatedALTHOUGH I don’t agree with Pas-torMarkHarris of Valley ChristianChurch (“Licence will bring onflood”, People’s Post, 28 August), Ican understand where he is comingfrom. Alcohol is a drug, and as Jas-on Beukes (“‘Dry’ town won’t corkthe bottle”,People’s Post, 28August)says it can have dangerous conse-quences.However, the causes of alcohol-

ism are complicated and, as Jesussaid: “Nothing that goes into some-one fromoutside canmake that per-son unclean. It is the things thatcome out of someone that makesthat person unclean.”Three things concern me. I have

never had to run the gauntlet of thewinos or riff-raff. I often walk toshop, so, yes Louise King (“‘Dry’town won’t cork the bottle”, Peo-ple’s Post, 28 August) and it wouldbe most convenient for me to buythe stuff at my nearest outlet.LIZZIE HEWITTFish Hoek

Thanks forsupporting wishTHANK you to all my wonderfulfamily and friends for their gener-ous donations to Fish Hoek Elder-care in lieu of gifts for my 80thbirthday.The proceeds bought blankets

and groceries for 30 pensioners.May you all be blessed in return.MARY SHEPHERDFish Hoek

Your SMSes. Why not let Pick n Pay have a liq-uor licence? Fish Hoek is surround-ed by bottle stores: Picardi at SunValley Mall and Longbeach Mall,Shorties, Drop Inn at Sunnyacresand Blue Bottles in Kalk Bay. I saylet them have a licence. Kim, FishHoek

. Fish Hoek has always beenquite unique in being a “dry town”.Can’t we keep some old laws? Oneliquor outlet will be the start of an-other and another. Belinda

. We support the sale of wine.The People’s Post says there is nopublic winehouse in Fish Hoek, butwhat about the Victorian Times?

. Keep Fish Hoek dry. Do not al-low liquor sales from a bottle store.Please let us keep our “dry town”status for which we are world-re-

nowned!. We definitely don’t need a liq-

uor licence being granted in FishHoek, as there are already enoughissues to deal with.

. No, Pick n Pay. Just when youbrought a clean, safe experience toFish Hoek Main Road. Back to themall for me if your bottle storecomes. Brad and family

. Please, no liquor store in FishHoek.

. Just when I enjoyed comingback to the Main Road to shop atThe Arcade, Pick n Pay comes withthe bottle store story. Goodbye,Main Road. Rene

. No liquor store, please. Can wefocus on making Fish Hoek an at-tractive, community-minded towninstead of encouraging more addic-tion to substances. Sun Valley, KalkBay and Simon’s Town fulfil the liq-uor store need. Bev

. We must never allow a retailliquor outlet in Fish Hoek! In my

. To Sharon: do not be carelesswhen using words. “Riff-raff” is aninsulting way of referring to peopleof a low social class or people whoare not considered socially accepta-ble. Who are you to judge? Peter

. There is already riff-raff in FishHoek. I’ve been accosted on my wayout of The Arcade, so don’t blamethe bottle stores. Muizenbergdoesn’t have any more riff-raff thanFish Hoek despite it’s three bottlestores. You moan about the beach?It is currently illegal to take alcoholonto beaches and yet I’ve seen plen-ty of people breaking that law.Whether you buy in Fish Hoek orelsewhere, it isn’t going change peo-ple’s behaviour. Move with thetimes. You can’t be a “dry” townwith two pubs in your Main Road.

. Fish Hoek is a dry town. Yet theelderly are still being mugged andchildren are still having their cell-phones stolen despite this. Don’t actlike granting a liquor licence willchange it. You can’t blame retailersfor people’s lack of self-control.There are plenty of other things de-

stroying families, but I don’t hearyou decrying those things.

. Since 1966 Pick n Pay has hada proven track record to be a re-spected, reputable and responsibletrader to all South African commu-nities. I would fully support theirapplication for a “controlled” liq-uor licence. Council, I believe,would set onerous terms and condi-tions for such an application. Letthe imbibers shop at Pick n Pay andlimit their driving times and dis-tances travelled on our public roadsto a dull, genteel roar. HowardParker

. No to a bottle store at Pick nPay, I won’t support anything to dowith Pick n Pay. They are too expen-sive and a bottle store will attractthe riff-raff. We are already accost-ed by too many beggars asking formoney. When offered food, they saythey want money. What for? To buybooze, of course.

. What a disappointing, judg-mental letter from Pastor MarkHarris regarding liquor sales inFish Hoek.

. Bring back the death penalty.What sense is there in keepingthese (people) alive, defendingthem? (If we defend them) we aresaying Na-eema (Raban), a gift from

God, deserved to die in this horridway. We will all die at some point,but who deserves this kind ofdeath? May God give her a place inheaven and put light in her grave.

. I want to know how come theytook so long to expose the brutalrape and murder a beautiful, youngteenager and mother. Were the par-ents too scared to expose their so-called perfect children? Wake upmothers of Ocean View. My heartgoes out to the Raban family. Con-cerned friend

. My apologies to the two fami-lies who had our exuberant labra-dor puppy jump up on their chil-dren on the beach – we are tryingto train him. I will get a long leadso I can control him better. VeronicaBoniface

. Thandi of Muizenberg Library,sorry! I called you Tumi in my lastSMS. You are a very nice person;everyone at the library is.

. Peter Saffin, you seemed tohave missed that the Bay Hotelstood derelict for 11 months, and thethen owners decided to sell it. Onyour point of accommodation fortravellers: there is the Calder.

. Accolades to the chef at FoodLover’s Market. His oxtail is thebest ever! Christine

Local surfersput Far Southon the mapPAUL BOTHA

DAVEY BRAND flew the flag forthe Far South surfing communi-ty at the weekend when heclinched the premier under-20men’s title in the Billabong ProJunior event held in excellentsurf at Cape St Francis on Sun-day.

The 19-year-old from Kommetjiepocketed US$2 000 (about R17 000)and moved to number two on theyear-end ASP Africa Pro Juniorrankings – which earned him an in-vitation to the Oakley ASP WorldJunior Championships in Bali atthe end of October.

Brand was joined in the winner’scircle by fellow Far South perform-ers Jordy Maree, from Tokai, whotook the under-14 title and finishedfourth in the under-16’s, and Kom-metjie’s Mikey February, who wonthe R2 000 winner-takes-all prize-purse in the Red Bull Air Show.

February also qualified for theJunior Worlds in Bali – thanks tohis ASP World Tour ranking. He iscurrently ranked at 179, and hasjust returned from a stint in theUSA where he finished third in aworld-class field in the Vans ProJunior at Virginia Beach, Virginia,USA.

Other locals to reach the podiumat Cape St Francis included BenjiBrand, 16-year-old brother of Dav-ey, who placed third in the under-20’s and runner-up in the under-16boys, and Donovan Wichmann,from Marina Da Gama, whoclaimed third place in the under-14’s.

Back in Kommetjie, long-timesurfer Brett Sanderson, 47, started

his training schedule for his “OneKommetjie Day” project by pad-dling a four metre paddle board toHout Bay beach and back, a dis-tance of about 14km, using just hisarms last Monday.

He did the solo trip in exactlyeight hours, including 15 minutesrest on Hout Bay beach. He de-scribed it as “disgusting” and“look-ing and feeling like a toilet”, and re-ports seeing plenty of seals and a“smallish shark” that circled himon the outward leg of the paddle.

Sanderson is aiming to paddle so-lo from Kommetjie to Muizenberg –a three-day paddle with two stop-overs – and hopes to be able to ar-rive at his destination during theBOS Earthwave Beach Festivalwhich takes place on Saturday 29and Sunday 30 September.

The festival is growing in staturewith each passing week and along-side the Guinness World Record at-tempt for the “most surfers ridingthe samewave”will be the Surf Em-porium WP Inter-schools SurfingChamps; New Balance WP Long-board Champs, Coreban SUP andSurfski Races toKalkBay andback;an eight kilometre New Balance“Bathers & Baggies” Beach Run /Walk along Strandfontein beach;BOSDig for Gold treasure hunt andplans areunderway for the onekilo-metre Similasan Open OceanSwim. There will be free iron andglucose testing in the Spatone FirstAid Tent, presentations on environ-mental issues and sustainable life-style choices, free surf lessons,touch rugby, beach volleyball, abeach clean-up and, if a sponsor canbe found, an attempt to break theGWR for the “most girls in a bikiniparade” which stands at 1 085.
