DELIAH BRINKHUIS

AyoungmanfromMacassaris fighting for his life inhospital after part of a ce-

ment block was thrown throughhis windscreen on the N2 lastWednesday (7 January).

Julius Jantjies (27), a driver forthe DTM Nissan dealership inStrand, sustained serious head inju-ries and has been in an induced co-ma in the Vincent Pallotti Hospitalin Pinelands since the attack.His father, Julius Snr, is now

pleading for action to be taken to en-sure the safety of motorists. “Some-one needs to take responsibility tomake our roads safer,” he told Dis-trictMail.The attack happened about 300 m

before theR300 turn-off in the direc-tion of Cape Town. It was around13:00 in the afternoon and Jantjiesand a colleague, Garth Vermeulen,wereon theirway toSeaPoint to col-lect a car.

Jantjies was driving. Vermeulensaystheywereintheright-handlanewhen he saw a man standing on theside of the road.“I still told Julius to watch out, as

it appeared as if the man was goingto run across the road,” he recalls.When they were next to the man,

anobjectsmashedthroughthewind-screenonthedriver’sside.Confusedby what had happened, Vermeulengrabbed the wheel when the carswerved out of control.“I jerkedthecarbackontotheroad

as I saw blood streaming down Juli-us’ face,” he says. Vermeulen man-aged to steer the car across the roadand stopped just before the R300 off-ramp.He says a taxi-driverwhowasdriving behind them stopped andphoned the police and ambulance.Jantjies was still conscious, but

didnotspeak.Vermeulensaysheon-lymoaned, while bloodwas pouringdown his face. At first his injurieswere not visible, but as Vermeulensaw the right-hand side of his face,he gasped as he realised just how

badly injured Vermeulen was.Uponadmission toVincentPallot-

ti,hewasplacedinaninducedcoma.He remains in a coma in ICU.TheSouthAfricanNationalRoads

Agency (Sanral) recorded 18 crimi-nal incidents on the 150 km of free-ways in Cape Town that it monitorsbetween 4 December and 13 Janu-ary. “The attacks take the form ofstone throwing, smashandgrabs, orobjects being placed on the road sur-face causing motorists to stop,which iswhen theyareattackedandrobbed,”says FikiMasilela, spokes-person for Sanral.Sanral’s Cape Town Freeway

Management System (CT FMS),which uses CCTV cameras to moni-tor freeways, has increased its focuson the N2 between Macassar andVanguardDrive, and on theR300 be-tween the StellenboschArterial andStock Road, after a number of at-tacks in the past six months. Opera-tors use the CCTV cameras to pan,tilt and zoom onto the highways todetect incidents within a three-min-

ute period.TheattackonJantji-

es occurred just out ofrange of Sanral’sCCTV cameras,though, although thecamerasdidpickuponhisvehicle coming toahalt, upon which thepolice and traffic ser-vices were notified,says Masilela.According to pro-

vincial police spokes-person Captain FC vanWyk, the N2is “well policed”.“TheWestern Cape Flying Squad,

assisted bypatrols from the local po-lice stations and other LawEnforce-ment Agencies police the entireroute.” VanWyk said patrols are in-tensified in certain areas.“UsingtheN2isnodifferenttoany

other highway. Caution must be ex-ercised at all times, especially atnight.”Provincial transport department

spokesperson Siphesihle Dube says

after Julius’ attack, traffic patrolswere intensified on the N2 betweenMew Way and Vanguard Drive, aswell as between Hindle Road andStock Road on the R300.Provincial traffic chief Kenny Af-

rica says the N2 is just too large topolice. “It’s a complicated situation.There are patrols 24hours a day, butwe can’t cover every 20metres of theroad and we also don’t know whenor where these attacks will happen.Theydon’t occur everydayand theycan happen out of the blue.”

Strand Police are requestingthe public’s assistance in theinvestigation of an armed rob-bery at Helderberg Build andSave inGeorgeStreeton22De-cember.

According to a police report,the incident occurred at 10:30when six armed men entered thebuilding supply store, posing ascustomers.

Zaid Suleman, the store owner,however says 10 armed men en-tered the store in groups of threeand four. Suleman says he andthe cashier were behind thecounter helping customers whentwomenapproachedthem,point-ed guns at them and demandedcash.

“The rest of the men were inthe store ordering customers to

lie down and assaulting thosewho resisted,” says Suleman,who cooperated with the robbersto ensure that the lives of the 20customers and 16 employees inthe store at the time were not putat risk.

In footage captured by CCTVsecurity cameras, the robberscan be seen walking through thestore brandishing firearms.

Investigating officer Lieuten-ant Colonel Franklin Plaatjies ofStrand Police says the menhelped themselves to R20 000 incash from the business’s safe, aswellpersonalbelongings(includ-ing cellphones) of customers, be-fore fleeing the scene in a whiteToyota Sprinter.

SNWalso equipped Strand police with a hand ra­dio that will be used in patrolling police ve­hicles.The newly appointed station command­er, Colonel Fana Dlamini, expressed his grati­tude towards SNW for their initiative. Fromthe left are Colonel Sanele Zama, AndriesMalherbe (Strand Neighbourhood Watch) andColonel Fana Dlamini.

According to police spokes-person Sgt Mthokozisi Gama,the vigilante attack happenedafter the man had allegedlybeen involved in three robber-ies where cellphones and cashwere taken from residents.

Gama says community mem-bers attacked the man from the

Pholile Park informal settle-ment with shamboks andstabbed and stoned him beforesetting him alight.

Police arrived on the sceneand helped to douse the fire. Ga-ma said the man, however, diedon the scene. A murder docketwas opened.

In another vigilante attackthe day before, a 24-year-oldman was attacked by residents.He and two other suspects (aged

27) had also allegedly been in-volved in a robbery and had sto-len a cellphone.

Teenhiker rescued frommountainDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Hikers should always stay together andnot wander off.

This warning comes from WildernessSearch and Rescue (WSAR) after a youngSomerset West hiker was rescued from theHelderbergmountainsbyhelicopteronMon-day evening.

WSAR spokesperson Johann Marais says17-year-old Darrian Lourens was airliftedfrom the top of the mountain by the Skymedhelicopter at 18:30, after losing his way whilehikingwith friends in theHelderbergNatureReserve earlier that day.

Marais says the nine-member rescue teamincluded mountain climbers, paramedicsand helicopter staff from WSAR.

A severely dehydrated Lourens had suf-fered leg cramps and was unable to walk.

WSAR received the call about the lostyoung man at 15:44, Marais explains. Withthehelpof theteenager’scellphoneGPScoor-dinates, a mountain climber and paramedicwere able to reach Darrian, trapped in a clus-ter of brambles about 90 minutes from theKlein Helderberg farm.

Darrian, who hikes up the mountain oncea month, is relieved to have survived the or-deal.

He and four friends had started their hikefrom the Helderberg Nature Reserve at 09:00that day. By midday they had reached thegorge and decided to continue hiking to thetop of the mountain.

At the summit, Darrian decided to splitfrom the group and take a shorter path down.

But he was soon trapped in a cluster ofdense, thorny, head-high trees, and by thenhad finished the water he had taken along.

“I had leg cramps, couldn’t move and hadto lie on the ground,” he says.

His cellphone’s battery power was low, al-though he managed to send his sister AshleyaWhatsappmessagecalling forhelp.Theres-cue mission was speedily initiated, as hismotherBrittacontactedthefirebrigade,whoalerted Emergency Medical Services andWSAR.

“I realise hikers should always stick to-gether and not go into unknown terrain,”Darrian says. He adds that hikers should en-sure family or friends know where they willbe hiking, what time they will finish the hikeand should always carry enough water withthem.

In a separate incident later on Monday,the Somerset West Neighbourhood Watch re-sponded to a call of hikers who were possiblytrapped on the Helderberg mountains.

SWNWspokespersonTonyCrosssaysresi-dents reported seeing possible warning lightsignals from the mountain at 20:00. Memberschecked the reserve’s car park and hiked upthe mountain, where they found parked cars,Cross says. A group of hikers, with head-lamps, descended the mountain at 21:00.

“They were on a night hike and were re-sponsible and well-equipped hikers. Theirheadlamps were mistaken for emergencydistress signals.”

Close to 400 pets housed at AWS kennels last monthJAMEY GORDON

The Animal Welfare Society Helderberg(AWS) appeals to Helderberg residents tosterilise their pets and be realistic about thecosts of keeping a pet.

This after the organisation had to take inand care for hundreds of animals over thefestive season.

AWS manger Julia Evans says their ken-nels in Mansfield Crescent, Gordon’s Baytook in a total of 399 animals – 150 strays,181 surrendered and 68 abandoned animals– in December.

Although 153 animals were successfullyre-homed and 54 animals reclaimed by theirowners during the period, this still remainsa concern which the AWS battles with each

year, says Evans.“Our vet did 414 consultations, sterilised

169 animals and performed 52 operations ofvarious types. Approximately half of the costis recovered by the client paying for the ser-vices which is hugely discounted. The restis unfortunately carried by the welfare andthe donations made by the public,” explainsEvans.

Die owerhede moet verskeiemoontlikhede oorweeg omdiejaarliksestormloopnadieHelderberg se strande beterte beheer.

Dit is die mening van plaasli-ke raadslede en belastingbeta-lersverenigingnadatstrandeenselfs woongebiede erg besoe-deld gelaat is oor die afgelopefeesseisoen.Die DistriksPos het verlede

weekberigdat inwonersvandieStrand en Gordonsbaai erg ver-ontrief is weens verkeerspro-bleme en besoedeling op oorvolstrande.Dave Venter, raadslid vir die

Strand, meen toegang tot Kus-weg en die strand kan nie nood-wendig beperk word nie, omdatdaar te veel sypaaie is wat inKusweg indraai. Hy sê dit sal ’nenorme klomp personeel vergom toegang tot Kusweg te be-heer. Dit sal ook ’n logistiekenagmerrie wees om te probeervasstel wie besoekers is en wieinwoners van die Strand is.Ten spyte hiervan herken

Venter dat daar ’n probleem ismet die hoeveelheid mense bydieStrandsekusgebiedopseke-re vakansiedae. Dit is teen diewet om mense weg te wys vanopenbare ruimtes soos ’n

strand, maar hy stel voor daarwordmeer gebruik gemaakvandie media om mense op hoogtete hou oor hoe vol die strandeis. Die radio sal veral behulp-saamwees omdie boodskap oorte dra wanneer strande oorvolis.Volgens Venter sal daar ook

gekyk moet word om meerskoonmakers in diens te neemgedurendedievakansieseisoen.Venter vra die publiek om

met verdere voorstelle voren-dag te kom.Daantjie Malan, voorsitter

van die Strand-belastingbeta-lersvereniging, meen daar salgekyk moet word na moontlik-hede om beter verkeersbeheertoe tepas inKusweg,veral indieDesembervakansie. Hy sê daarmoet ’nmanier gevindword omveral taxi’s en busse se toegangtot Kusweg beperk. Kundiges,soos ondermeer die Stad se ver-keersdepartement, moet ge-raadpleeg word oor die kwes-sies.Malan sê dit is sy droom om

blouvlagstatus vir die Strand sekusgebied te kry. As die pro-bleem elke jaar so aangespreekkanword sal die Strandookmet’n blouvlagstrand kan spog.Johan Middleton, raadslid

vir Gordonsbaai, sê moontlik-hede om die hoeveelheid voer-tuiewat naKusweg inGordons-

baai stroom op dae soos Nuwe-jaarsdag te beheer, moetoorweeg word. Inwoners worderg verontrief deur motoristewatopsypaadjiesenoprittepar-keer en selfs piekniek daar hou.Middleton sê die moontlik-

heid dat verkeersbeamptes metdie hulp van die gemeenskaps-polisiëringsforum motoriste inkennis stel wanneer die stranden parkeer areas vol is, is dalk’n oplossing.Hy sê daar moet ook ernstig

gekyk word na hoe besoekersopgevoed kan word om hullevullis saam huis toe te neem ennie op die strand te los nie. Hystel voor dat mense wat aange-stel is om skoon te maak moetdeel word van ’n opvoedings-program.Edwina Hadfield, voorsitter

van die Gordonsbaai-belasting-betalersvereniging, sê die ver-eniging se komitee is dit eensdat alle besoekerswelkomisomGordonsbaaisestrandtegeniet,maar moet opgevoed word oorbesoedeling sodat besoekershulle vullis saam terugneemhuis toe. Daar is ook hopelooste min skoonmakers om by tehou met die hoeveelheid mensewat die strande besoek.Hadfield sê die metropolisie,

wetstoepassing en die polisiehet uitstekendewerk gedoen ty-dens die feesseisoen.

Kerkstraat-huise dalk gesloopDELIAH BRINKHUIS

Huurders van drie huise op die perseelvan die Somerset-Wes Nagskuiling hetverlede week hul huise ontruim.Erf 659,waaropdienagskuiling geleë

is, is die eiendom van die Stad Kaap-stad. Die huise wat voor die skuilinggeleë is, is reeds vir dekades deur diehuurders, wat Vrydag na munisipalehuise inGumstraat, GardenVillage ge-trek het, bewoon.Volgens burgemeesterskomiteelid

vir finansies, Ian Neilson, is die huiseten minste 72 jaar oud en is die huisenie geskik om in te woon nie.Vir Joyce Solomons, wat reeds byna

60 jaar by Kerkstraat 61 gewoon het,was dié trek ’n bittersoet ervaring.Solomons het baie spesiale herinne-

ringe ervaar in dié huis waarin haarouers,WillieenSarahSolomons,enhulses kinders in 1938 getrek het.Sy is egter baie opgewonde oor die

trekensienuit om ’n lewe inhaarnuwe

huis in Gumstraat te begin, waar syweereens die buurvrou van die Katts-gesin sal wees.“Mynuwehuis is baiemeer gerieflik

omdat daar toiletgeriewe in die huisis,” het Solomons met trots gesê.Neilson sê voorts dat beide Solomons

en die Katts-familie in Maart 2013 inkennis gestel is dat die stad alternatie-we akkommodasie aan hulle sal ver-skaf, en dat die huurders in Januariedie volgende jaar skriftelik ingestemhet om te trek.VolgensNeilson isdienagskuiling in

dieLourensrivier beskermdenatuurli-ke omgewing geleë en 90% van die ska-kelhuise se voetspoor in die bestaandepadreserwe.Hy sê die stad het ’n aansoek vir die

uitbreiding van die nagskuiling ont-vang. Toestemming moet egter vanafdie Wes-Kaapse Erfenisraad verkryword omdat die geboue erfenis-statushet, asook goedkeuring van die StadKaapstad.

visiting Strand beach onWednesday 7 Janu-ary when they were called out of the wateralongwith other swimmers. “Wewere calledout of the water on two occasions, and bothtimes we saw what looked like a shark finin the water,” she told DistrictMail.But Van der Merwe says these are normal

occurrences. “It’s a natural phenomenon.Duringspringandsummer, there isaseason-al increase in the presence of white sharksin the inshore area, as sharks switch preyspecies from seals during winter to migrato-ry game fish, smaller sharkand ray species.”“There areno formal plans to deploy shark

spottersatStrandorGordon’sBay.However,we do provide ad-hoc spotting services inStrand for lifesaving events when request-ed.”Shark spotters operate at Fish Hoek,

Glencairn, Clovelly, St James, Muizenberg,Monwabisi and Noordhoek. They are alsostationed at The Caves in Kogel Bay. “Spot-ters inKogelBayare placed aboveTheCavessurf spot, not over Kogel Bay Resort beach,

as it is too far from their location,” Van derMerwe explains.The last reported shark attack in the Hel-

derberg is believed tohave takenplace inOc-tober 2010,whileDavidLilienfeldwas fatallyattackedwhile bodyboarding at the Caves inApril 2012.Sarah Titley, Shark Spotters’ project man-

ager, says shark activity along theFalseBaycoastline is normal at this time of the year.“Fishactivity increasesasaresultofwarmerwaters, so the sharks follow the fish here,”she explains.“There are no plans to station shark spot-

ters in Strand or Gordon’s Bay, despite un-confirmed sightings – unconfirmed becausethese sharks were not spotted by trainedspotters.”However, Titley, says a “strong request”

from local communities, together with fun-ding, could lead to their deployment.“Even thenwewould need to conduct a tri-

al toverifywhether thesightingswereactualshark sightings.”Shandor Cylban, Strand Surf Lifesaving

Club chairperson, says lifeguards, city lawenforcement officers, local neighbourhoodwatch members and surfers reported sharksightings during the festive season.He echoes Titley’s sentiment that shark

sightings at Helderberg beaches are “nor-mal” at this time of the year, if not regular.“We want to urge beach-goers and swim-

mers to be aware of signals and warningsfrom lifeguards. If they are not sure abouthow safe it is to be in the water, they mustenquire about it from on-duty lifeguards.“And whether we issue a warning about

sharks or water safety, we also urge peoplenot only to think about their own safety, butalso about the safety of others.”

Locals feedhungryheroesJAMEY GORDON

AsbillowsofsmokeengulfedtheHelder-berg and hundreds of firefightersworked around the clock to extinguishthe ragingvegetation fire, the local com-munity also rallied together to supportand feed the heroes battling the blaze.

ThefirebrokeoutonSirLowry’sPass lastThursday and took three consecutive daysto extinguish.

Somerset West resident Isabel Tarling,who believes in being generous and usingtechnology to change people’s outlook onlife, took to Facebook to drive the initiative.

When asked what sparked the idea, Tar-ling explains it as an “organic process”.“The community felt the need to show theirsupportandappreciationtothefiremenwhowere supporting the community. I simplyput out the call.”

Although firefighters receive rationpacks for sustained energy, Tarling reckonsthere is nothing like sinking one’s teeth intoa fresh sandwich or warm pizza slice.

So when Tarling heard the firefightersneeded sandwiches on Friday evening, sheimplored people to assist.

Furthermore, Louise Spagnuolo openedher bank account to monetary donations inaid of the initiative.

Tarling says on Saturday at 07:00, 12 wom-en and Nino Messina were in her kitchenwith spreads and knives in-hand to makesandwiches.

Theteamprepared500sandwiches,whichwere delivered to the firefighters.

Aftermidday,Tarlingputoutanothercallfor further assistance, to which 15 womenrespondedandanother600sandwichesweremade.

“On Saturday evening firefighters weretreated by Spur Waterstone Village who do-

nated 300 burgers and chips.”By 21:45 on Saturday Tarling received

word that the fire had not yet been extin-guished, as well as a request for more treats.The following day almost 750 sandwicheswere distributed.

As a special treat a braai was organisedfor the 25 firefighters who were still on thescene on Sunday.

“At16:45thatafternoonJohnnyBezuiden-hout of Nina’s Restaurant donated 20 kgchicken and rolls. We received so much sup-port, it isunbelievable.Thecommunityreal-ly came to the party.”

The fire broke out near Steenbras Damaround 13:05 on Thursday 8 January andwas finally extinguished on Sunday 11January.

More than 200 firefighters from NatureConservation,CapePine,BulkWater,Work-ing on Fire, the Overberg Municipality andtheCityofCapeTownwereonthesceneeachday.Duringthecourseof theoperation,heli-copters and fixed-wing water bombers werecalled in to water bomb areas which wereinaccessible to firefighters, with pilots col-lecting water from Steenbras Dam.

The dam’s water levels weren’t seriouslyaffected. City Disaster Risk Managementspokesperson Wilfred Solomons-Johannessays the upper dam water level measuredat 98,55% on Tuesday compared to 98,63%onTuesday6January.The lowerdamwaterlevel measured at 57,02% on Tuesday com-pared to 59,81% last Tuesday.

There were rumours that the fire flaredup again at Knorhoek on Monday. City FireServices spokesperson Theo Layne, howev-er, says it was not a flare-up but a “new call”of a vegetation fire, to which one fire engineand two water tankers responded at 14:40.The blaze was extinguished by 18:47.

“The suspected cause of the fire was anopen flame.”

Hof beboetman ná dieremishandelingJAMEY GORDON

Vir ’n mishandelde naam-lose ligbruin brakkie watbyna drie jaar gelede ’ngenadedood toegedien is,het geregtigheid uiteinde-lik geseëvier.

’n Inwoner van dieStrand, Goodboy DubeBokote, is onlangs op ’naanklag van dieremis-handeling in die Strand-landdroshof skuldig be-vind en moes op 2 Desem-ber ’n boete van R1 500betaal.

Volgens Yolanda Ham-man, medestigter van die dierewelsynorgani-sasie, Petpals, is hulle baie in hul skik oor diehofbeslissing.

“Al is die boete minimaal, gebeur dit seldedat ’n saak van dieremishandeling in die hofverhoor word én daar iets van kom.”

Dawid Hamman, Yolanda se eggenoot envoorsittervanPetpals,hetBokotesehondvanhom weggeneem en ’n saak van dieremishan-deling by die Strand-polisie aanhangig ge-maak.

Dít volg ná Dawid op 18 Julie 2012 op ’n klag-te van inwoners van die informele nederset-ting, Morkel Cottage, gereageer het oor ’nhond in die gebied wat na bewering deur syeienaar mishandel word.

Dawid het na die gebied gegaan, waar hy’n uitgeteerde en ondervoede ligbruin brak-kie indieagterplaasby ’nsinkhuisgevindhet.Die hond, omring deur rommel, was aan ’nkort ketting vasgemaak en kon glad nie rond-beweeg nie. Sy was uitgeteer, ondervoed envuil. “Die hond het ook ’n ooginfeksie gehad,was brandsiek en het aan besmette veneriesetumor (BVT) – ’n siekte soortgelyk aan Vigs– gely,” sê Dawid.

Volgens Dawid het die eienaar klaarblykliknooit ’n poging aangewend om die hond be-

hoorlik te voed, of skui-ling teen die elemente enveeartsenykundige be-handeling te voorsien nie.

Dawid het op 28 Julie2012 ’n saak van dieremis-handeling by die Strand-polisie aanhangig ge-maak. Dinsdag 31 Juliehet die hof egter die saakuitgegooi omdat die eie-naar nie mediese behan-delingvirdiehondkonbe-kostig nie.

Intussen is die hond bydie Gordonsbaai Dierebe-skermingsvereniging(DBV) opgeneem, maar is

op Donderdag 2 Augustus ’n genadedood toe-gedien omdat die BVT reeds in ’n gevorderdestadium was. Volgens Dawid het hy op dié dagna die hof gegaan en die saak is in opdrag vandie hoof-staatsaanklaer, Marlene van Heer-den, heropen.

VanHeerdenhetvandeesweekaanDistriks-Pos verduidelik dat ’n saak voorlopig uit diehof gegooi word indien die ondersoek nog nieafgehandel is nie. Sy sê die saak word danweer op die hofrol geplaas wanneer die onder-soek klaar is.

Bokote se eerste hofverskyning was op 17September 2014 en hy is op 3 November 2014’n boete van R1 500 opgelê.

Die algemene bestuurder van HelderbergDBV, Julia Evans, sê mishandeling en wreed-heid teen diere kom gereeld in die Helderbergvoor, maar dit is baie selde dat geregtigheidseëvier. Sy beskou dié hofbeslissing as “won-derlik”. “Alhoewel die boete bietjie min is, isdit ’n stap in die regte rigting en hopelik worddieremishandeling in ’n meer ernstige lig be-skou,” sê Evans.DistriksPos het Bokote se kontak besonder-

hede probeer opspoor vir sy kommentaar,maartevergeefs.OnssalbeslisBokotesekom-mentaar publiseer sou dit verkry word.

Geregtigheid het uiteindelik geseë­vier vir dié verwaarloosde hondjie,wat as gevolg van mishandeling ’ngenadedood toegedien moes word.

ClarityonSomersetWest CPFelections’ postponement

Readerswill recall that theSomer-set West Community Policing Fo-rum (CPF) had been suspended inDecember 2013 and barred fromholdinganypublicmeetings,afterallegations of misconduct weremade about its processes andmembers of its executive commit-tee.

In October 2014 it was decidedthat elections would be held in De-cember 2014 in an effort to “clearthe slate”.

At the December meeting of theCPF, it transpired that organisa-tions that were seemingly entitledto register had been denied regis-tration and it was unclear whichorganisations had been success-ful with their applications.

So, once again the public activi-ties of the CPF have effectivelybeen suspended, this time untilMarch 2015, when police seniormanagement from Khayelitshawill personally oversee and vali-

date the process.One can only hope that when

public elections are finally heldfor this misgoverned group, pow-er aspirations and petty politicswill be put aside and the interestsof the community will be at theforefront of peoples’ minds whenthey nominate their candidates.

regarding the election process fol-lowed in 2010. No allegations ofmisconductweremadeagainst anymember.While public meetings were put

on hold pending investigations bythe then cluster commander, allotherCPFmeetingsandduties con-tinued. When the new cluster com-mander took up his role, there hadstill been no resolution about thecomplaint.

The cluster commander and theclusterCPFtookover the investiga-tion and their decisionwas that thecurrent Somerset West CPF wouldcontinue in its role.It was not decided to hold elec-

tions inDecember2014“to clean theslate”. It had longagobeendecidedby the Department of CommunitySafety and the police that nationalelections for all CPF bodies wouldbe held in December 2014.Theclustercommanderandclus-

terCPFwerepresent to“personallyoversee and validate the process”for these elections, as had beenplanned in September 2014. Thereason the elections were not heldwas that provincial representa-tives from the Department of Com-munity Safety did not arrive.It was further agreed that the

CPF structure and status quowould remain until the elections,hopefully taking place in the mid-dle to latter part of February 2015.

Respectnatureandstay safe

The mountains and sea are what at-tract many people to either live inor visit the Helderberg.

As beautiful as these naturalwonders are, they can also be verydangerous if not respected.

A drowning in the sea at StrandBeach and a teenager getting lostwhile hiking on Helderberg Moun-tain these school holidays bear testi-mony to this.

Safety is of the utmost importancewhen swimming in the sea or climb-ing a mountain.

Always obey lifeguards and swimin designated areas when in the sea;always follow marked hiking routesand stay together when hiking in themountains.

Hikersareadvisedto carry plentyof water with them in hot weatherand wear sun-protective clothing.

Failure to obey rules and regula-tions could result in serious injuryor even death, and thousands ofrands unnecessarily spent on rescueoperations.

Remember to be safe, respect na-ture and obey the rules and regula-tions.

Thanks tomunicipalityfor Sunday rescue jobIn this day and age of people being readyto complain and condemn people andcorporations for perceived lack of ser-vice and quality, I would like to take thetime to send a message of thanks to myneighbour and compliments to the Hel-derberg municipality.

A mains water pipe burst in my drive-way in the Links area of Somerset Westlast Sunday afternoon.

I was not home but my neighbour no-ticed the break and the damage it wascausing.

He promptly phoned the municipalityand – to their credit – a team arrivedwithin the hour.

I returned home to find a crew work-ing at opening up a hole to gain accessto the damaged pipe, I spoke to the fore-man who promised me that they wouldrestore water as soon as possible.

They did! They worked until afterdark, but before they departed they hadrestored water and filled in the hole sothat it was safe to park in the driveway.

All this on a Sunday evening.The crew soon returned and by

Wednesday midday had relaid all mybrick paving so that you would neverknow anything had happened.

It heartens me to see that our tax andrates payments are used correctly andthat, at least in this area, we have a func-tioning municipality.

A very big thank you and well doneto all concerned.

Holiday season in the Helderberg) How about an article on the pig state which[visitors] leave SomersetWest Main Road in everynight after the Strawberry Festival? I’d love to seean article about this. It should include Strand andGordon’s Bay, which are also “litter with no conse-quences” areas. Richard FC) Ek stem saam. Die sypaadjies en strate was ge-saai met bottels en papiere in Strand. Mens kansien hulle ken nie iets soos ’n vullisdrom nie. Ekweet niewanneerhulle eendagopgevoedsalweesnie. Elsa Smit) The festive season in Strand has become a gar-bage zone. The beach is a tourist attraction, yetnobody has respect for it. There are enough dirtbins on thepavements. Is it somuch trouble dispos-ing of dirt in it? Or take the rubbish home andthrow it all over your home; see if that will looknice. Charmaine Kaplan Kroukamp) ’n Hartseer gesig vir die inwoners van die ge-bied. Naomi E. Sinden) Ek was skaam om die vakansie te sê ek is ’nStrand-bewoner. As elkeen sy eie gemors agterhom skoonmaak, sou dit nie nodigwees ombelas-tingbetalers segeld temors deur nog skoonmakersaan te stel nie. Karin de Gouveia) Nou wil ek julle vra: waar is die skoonmakerswat die Stad Kaapstad aangestel het? Weet jullewat? Hulle lê heeldag onder ’n boom, gaan vroeghuistoe en doen nie hulle werk nie. Dis die datstrande so bemors is, want mense doen nie hullewerk nie. Dis ’n vermorsing van ons belastinggeld.Faizel Jooste) Nee, vergeet van die skoonmakers. As inwo-ners van Strand was ons strande nooit so vuil nie,want beskaafde mense soos ons maak agter onsskoon. Paul Steyn) Daar was definitief ’n ernstige tekort aan grootvuilgoedblikke.Diewatbeskikbaarwas,washeel-temal onvoldoende en hopeloos te ver uitmekaargeplaas vir duisende mense wat eet en drink.Hester van Wyk

)Mense, ek het in die verkenners geleer om ’nswartsak saam met my te neem, so waar jy morsmaak jy skoon. Vat die sak saam terug huis toeen gooi dit in die drom. Dis mos nie baie moeitenie. Ciceleen van Niekerk) Ek stemmet Ciceleen – jy het tog die koeldrank,pizza of jogurt soontoe geneem. Hoekom kan jyniedie koeldrankbottel, pizza-boks of jogurt-bak-kie in ’n sak sit en weer terug huistoe neem nie?Dan hoef daar mos nie eers dromme te wees nie.Arno Henning) Ek voel baie jammer vir die mense wat in Kus-wegwoon,wanthul koopdaardieplekke tenduur-ste endan is ditwaarmeehulmoet sit. Ekhet gesienhoe mense kamp op komberse by die woonstellese grasperke. Dis onaanvaarbaar. Sê jy iets, wordjy aangekyk of sleg behandel in jou eie plek. Hullehet ook op die sypaadjies in opblaas-swembad-dens gesit. Ek kon dit nie glo nie. Waarvoor gaanjy dan see toe? Darem een ding wat ek moet sê:ek was bly om te sien dat daar nou ’n heiningom die fontein by die sirkel in Strand is. In 2013

het mense sonder klere daar geswem. Jo-AnnTheron- Read more holiday season comments online.Early load shedding) So far we’re at Stage 1. Then it would havebeen 06:00, so we’re in the clear so far. TalithaTaljaard) Stage 1 for Helderberg is from 06:00 until08:30 on a Friday. Nicole Neethling) So we will have it tomorrow from 10:00 until12:30, if it moves up to Stage 2. Ina Thiart) Hope they have some load shedding in GreenPoint so Zuma can experiencewhat it is.NeilGain) Our father who art in Eskom, powerless be thyname.

CBDbusinessesaimhighJAMEY GORDON

It’s a new year with newprospects and Somerset Westbusiness owners are optimisticabout 2015.

Neves and Fernando Gattinho,owners of Central MiniMarket, areoffering customers everything theyneed under one roof. This year theyhave not only extended their rangeofvalue-added itemssuchasavarie-ty of olive oils, fruits and nuts andspecialised spices, but have also in-corporated a Liquor City Expressstore.Nevessaystheirhopesforthenew

year is that more family-ownedsmall businesses will infiltrate theCBD, bringing back the old Somer-set West CBD they got to know 16years ago – when everything youneeded could be found within walk-ing distance.Fernando hopes the new year

brings with it one particularchange: that the City of Cape Townwill do away with the parking at-tendants in Main Road who “tacklecustomers like a pack of wolves”.“This leads to the demise ofmany

small businesses in the CBD,” Fer-nando reckons.Abbygaile Engelbrecht, owner of

Van’s Jewellers, says the new yearhas kicked off with a move to otherpremisesandshe isnowlooking for-ward to a new beginning at Foun-tain Square, from where she willrun her business as of next month.Van’s Jewellers had been operatingfrom its current premises in Mich-ael’sArcadefor42years,but thesaleof the building prompted Engel-brecht to move on.Engelbrecht says the word on the

street is that the building wasboughtbyEssentialPharmacy,whowillbedemolishing thearcade tode-velop a medical centre with a phar-macy as the anchor tenant.“Our customers need not worry,

Van’s Jewellerswill still be offeringquality products and service, sim-ply fromdifferent premises,”Engel-brecht assures them.

Shesays customers can also look for-ward to the opening of their newstorePink–asatWaterstoneVillage– at The Vergelegen Plein, the newCheckers Centre being developedon Sir Lowry’s Pass Road.Engelbrecht’s wish for 2015 is for

SomersetWestCBDtobeclean,withincreased police vigilance.“Even after the recent spate of

armed robberies, police patrolshave been minimal,” she says.Arleen Seyfried, owner of Somer-

set West Book Exchange, says herbusinessplan for thisyear is to“car-ry on [running her business] as shehas been doing for the past 42years”.“I have no intention ofchanging anything or doing any-thingdifferently.Therearewonder-ful people in Somerset West, who

still love to pick up abook and read, de-spite all the techno-logical advances.And, I just lovethem,” says Seyfried.She does, however,

hope that a bigger ef-fort is made to curbcrimeandhelppeopleliving on the streetsin Somerset West.Clark Pools owner

Malcolm Stuurmanstrives to grow hisbusiness, make moremoney and ensure

there is always work for his employeesthis year. “By being honest and relia-ble, of course, just likemy father taughtme. I must be able to sleep at night,”he laughs.Stuurman believes if everyone joins

hands in the fight against crime andhelpsmake theCBDamoreaesthetical-ly pleasing place, it would contributeto thesuccessofallSomersetWestbusi-nesses.Jacqui Louw of St Basil’s Pizzeria

saystheywillbe launchinganewindul-gent menu and introducing a whole-wheat pizza base. Louw hopes the newyear will bring more customers andbetter security in the CBD. “We wantSomersetWest tobewhat itwas in1995,when people could walk the streets atnight without fear. Now half the CBDhas vacant stores and it feels as if no-one cares about the next person.”

the reefs and shore, making shore anglinga little easier.

There is at present a lot less “bubble sea-weed” (bladder wrack) in the shallows, re-sulting in a number of veterans spinning onBlake’s Beach and on the reefs.

On Saturday Martin Gebers, an old cam-paigner among the spinnermen, was suc-cessful in catching and releasing some goodsize leerie (leerfish or garrick).

Martin uses the old-reel-and -sweep meth-od when spinning, which causes the lure tovary in speed, which entices the fish to lungeforward and strike the lure with its tail. Thisaction by the leerie results in the treble hookfoul-hooking the fishin the back or near thedorsal fin.

I would say thataround 90% of all thelarger garrick on ourbeaches and reefs arefoul-hooked by spin-nermen.

There were also anumber of elf caughtby anglers spinningfrom the Strand reefsduring the weekend.

On Saturday even-ing Willem de Jonghand his son had theirquotas of kob of be-tween one and twokilogram on BlakesBeach after sunset.

Johan Uys and DanieRoland also bagged anumber of kob of be-tween 1,5 and 2kg justbehind Blake’s Islandusing good qualityfresh pilchards.

Hennie Beukes, fishing off the Bioscoperocks, also caught five kob, just size, and upto 2kg.

On Saturday the Pearly Beach Rock andSurf- Angling Club held its first monthlycompetition. Sixty anglers participated butonly 19 fish were weighed. A number ofsmaller fish were also released.

In first place was Deon Strydom with twokob with a total weight of 14,7kg. Barry Mull-er was second with two kob with a totalweight of 9,4kg and third was Hannes Smutsalso with two kob with a total weight of 9kg.Riaan Steyn was fourth with one kob of 1,5kg.

Club spokesman Ferdi Joubert said that

there was quite a number of smaller kobcaught at Die Dam area.

The smaller local boats and kayaks fishingin the Strand poort and surrounding areashad their quotas of kob, elf and the odd geel-bek.

Local boatman Manie Swart and crew fish-ing in Hangklip Bay on Thursday reportedexcellent catches of geelbek and kob, somein the 8kg class.

News from well-known charter boat skip-per Alan du Plessis was that there are stillplenty of tunny in the Canyon area.

Skippers of the big professional vessels re-ported that the sea was too rough during theweekend for local boats to venture out.

Alan said there were superb catches of yel-lowtail reported at Struisbaai from the 12mile and 40 mile Alpha banks.

Anglers interested in chartering a boat tocatch marlin, yellowtail and bankfish are re-minded that Alan will be spending the nexttwo months in Struisbaai and can be contact-ed on 083 4532 808.

The prospects of fishing for geelbek in theHangklip and Rooi Els areas from smallboats or the shore during the South Eastercould be fruitful.

Anglers wanting to buy the new largerfixed-spool reels (coffee grinders) shouldtake care and do a bit of homework beforemaking an uninformed purchase. Knowl-edgeable anglers and tackle dealers recom-mend better-known brands such as the Shi-mano Stellar Range such as models 8 and 10.This range has spares readily available.

Now that most of the up-country visitorshave started to leave the Helderberg,there is a littlemore space on the beachesfor anglers fishing in the evenings.
