PLAASLIKE STRANDE: 16 000 BESOEKERS OP NUWEJAARSDAG

Morsjorse los strande in ‘vieslike’ toestand

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

Bemorste strande oor die feesseisoen het Helderberg-inwoners erg ontstoke gelaat.

Die skoonmaakprogram van die Stad Kaapstad vir hoogseisoen, wat R22 miljoen bedra, bied ook min troos aan inwoners wat met vuil strande begroet word, nadat die bykans 39 000 besoekers wat strande oor die feesdae besoek, hul sakke gepak het.

Alhoewel plaaslike besighede die toestroming van besoekers verwelkom, het die vuil dorpe inwoners ontstoke en aan die gons op sosiale netwerke.

Volgens burgemeesterskomiteelid vir veiligheid en sekuriteit, JP Smith, het 8 000 mense op Nuwejaarsdag die Strand-kusgebied besoek, 7 000 besoekers was in Gordonsbaai en 1 200 mense op Macassarstrand; effens minder mense is die volgende dag op strande waargeneem, met 6 000 mense op Strand se kusgebied, 5 000 besoekers in Gordonsbaai en slegs 150 mense by die Macassarstrand.

Johan Middleton, raadslid vir Gordonsbaai, sê besoekers het die dorp in ’n “vieslike” toestand agtergelaat. Hy voeg by dat nie slegs strande vuil agtergelaat is nie, maar ook woongebiede in die omgewing van die strande, insluitend hoofroetes soos Faure Marinerylaan.

“Dit het gelyk of mense letterlik vullisdromme in die strate uitgegooi het,” sê Middleton.

Smith erken dat rommelstrooiing gedurende die feestyd ’n groot probleem is.

“Mense dra by tot die probleem omdat hulle hul rommel agterlaat,” verduidelik hy.

Kevin Wearing, ondervoorsitter van die Gordonsbaai Besigheidsforum, sê die vuil strande skrik moontlike beleggers in die gebied af. “Dit kom voor of besoekers nie omgee nie en nie eers daaraan dink om hulle gemors saam met hulle te neem nie,” meen hy.

Volgens Wearing was die strand op Saterdag 3 Januarie, kort ná hulle weeklikse skoonmaakprogram die oggend, weer met rommel besaai.

Vir Theresa van Niekerk, eienaar van die PW Botha en Seuns vulstasie in Strand Kusweg, was besigheid by die bedryf se kafee op hierdie dae baie goed.

Sy sê egter dat alhoewel busse nie in Kusweg toegelaat word nie, het taxi’s wel dagbesoekers afgelaai, toegang tot die vulstasie belemmer en verkeersopeenhopings veroorsaak. Volgens Van Niekerk het motors ook op sypaadjies parkeer en was die piekniekarea voor die vulstasie met rommel besaai.

Dave Venter, raadslid van die Strand, bevestig dat talle klagtes op dié dae aangemeld is. Hy voeg by talle dagbesoekers het op die gras agter die duine piekniek gehou en wan-

neer die gebied vol word, sit mense op sypaadjies.

“Inwoners se klagtes is meestal oor gemors wat besoekers agterlaat, versperring van ingange, onwettige parkeergewoontes deur besoekers, uitermatige geraas (harde musiek) en sosiale wangedrag.

“Alhoewel dit inwoners dalk verontrief, is sypaadjies openbare ruimtes en is dit onmoontlik om te weier dat mense op sypaadjies sit wanneer die ontspanningsgebied vol is, mits hulle nie toegang tot privaateiendom belemmer nie,” sê hy.

Volgens Venter is daar versoeke van inwoners dat toegang tot die strand beperk word.

“Dit is vanselfsprekend nie so eenvoudig nie, omdat inwoners en noodvoertuie onbelemmerd toegang tot die woongebiede en strand moet verkry,” sê hy.

Hy sê die besoeke van vakansiegangers is ’n welkome hupstoot vir die plaaslike ekonomie.

Burgemeesterskomiteelid vir nutsdienste, Ernest Sonnenberg, sê die R22 miljoen skoonmaakprogram vir hoogseisoen is daarop gemik om bykomende skoonmaakdienste regoor die stad te implementeer en strek vanaf middel November tot die begin van Februarie; dit sal ook Paasnaweek insluit. .

Vrae ná verdrinking in Strand JAMEY GORDON

) The Somerset West Police are investigating a case of murder after a 58-year-old man was shot in the head during an attempted armed robbery in Somerset West on Christmas (25 December) evening.

According to Sergeant Suzan Jantjies, spokesperson for the Somerset West Police, the incident occurred at 20:20. The armed robbers were caught in the act by the elderly man and his daughter, who had returned home after Christmas supper. A scuffle ensued and the man sustained a gunshot wound to head.

The 58-year-old French national was transported to Mediclinic Vergelegen where he later died due to the severity of his injuries.

No arrests have yet been made.

Anyone with information can contact Detective Warrant Officer Carleigh Noemdo on 021 850 1310. ) A 38-year-old dad appeared in the Somerset West Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday (6 January) on a charge of child abuse.

According to Sergeant Suzan Jantjies, spokesperson for the Somerset West Police, a Metro police officer responded to a complaint that a two-year-old child was left unattended and locked inside a vehicle in the parking lot at Shoprite.

“Hy was die liefste kind. Niemand het ooit enigiets slegs van hom te sê gehad nie, hy het altyd geglimlag en byna nooit kwaad geword nie, en het respek aan ieder en elk getoon.”

Só onthou Latasha Louw (32) haar 18-jarige broer, Vernon Naudé, wat op Vrydag 26 Desember by Melkbaai in die Strand verdrink het.

Naudé is van Melton Rose, Eersterivier, en sou vanjaar sy matriekjaar aan die Hoërskool Tuscany Glen aanpak. Hy wou ’n loopbaan in forensiese wetenskap volg.

Naudé het verdrink toe hy sy suster se 13-jarige seun, Nathan Jacobs, wou red.

Bewerings dat die poging om Naudé te red om verskeie redes vertraag is en hom moontlik sy lewe gekos het, het ook in die media opgeduik.

Volgens ’n polisievrou, wat op die dag van die verdrinking nie aan diens was nie en saam met haar gesin op die strand was, het ’n rubberboot van wetstoepassing vir ’n lang ruk sonder sleutels op die strand bly staan omdat dit glo by die betrokke beampte se huis was en gehaal moes word. Boonop het reddingswerkers sonder ’n tweerigtingradio die onstuimige see ingevaar, het sy gesê. Vanaf die strand kon jy sien hoe die boot herhaalde kere verby Naudé ry, het sy bygevoeg.

Volgens Richard Bosman, uitvoerende direkteur vir veiligheid en sekuriteit van die Stad Kaapstad, was daar geen vertraging om die sleutel te bekom nie. Bosman sê die operateur het egter in die water tegniese probleme met die boot se enjin ervaar.

Bosman het ook bevestig dat reddingswerkers nie sonder ’n radio die see ingevaar het nie.

“Die operateur het via radio kontak met reddingswerkers op die strand behou, maar het egter geen kontak gehad met die helikopter wat deelgeneem het in die soektog nie om-

dat dit op ’n verskillende frekwensie opvang,” verduidelik Bosman.

Wat op daardie noodlottige dag gebeur het laat steeds vrae vir die familie, sê Louw. Sy verduidelik dat Jacobs, haar grootmaakkind, by haar ma in Eersterivier gekuier het en dié oggend saam met Naudé, dié se vriendin en Louw se 12-jarige dogter strand toe is vir die dag.

“Daar was aan my oorvertel dat Vernon vir Nathan probeer red het ná hy in die moeilikheid beland het,” sê Louw.

Daar word beweer dat Jacobs later deur omstanders gered is. Naudé is egter dieper die see ingetrek.

Volgens Shandor Cylvan, voorsitter van die Strand Surf Lifesavers-klub, het Jacobs een van die menseredders aan diens op die strand oorkant Ben’s On The Beach restaurant genader vir hulp. Cylvan sê Jacobs het slegs aan die menseredder gesê sy oom word vermis. Dit was onseker of Naudé op die strand of in die water verdwyn het. Die menseredder het dus vir Jacobs na die gesamentlike operasionele sentrum op die strand geneem waar daar later vasgestel is dat Naudé in die moeilikheid was.

Volgens Bosman moet dit in ag geneem word dat ’n geruime tyd verby gegaan het terwyl daar probeer is om vas te stel waar Naudé verdwyn het. ’n Span van sowat 10 menseredders het saam met reddingswerkers van die Nasionale Seereddingsinstituut (NSRI), wetstoepas-

sing, plaaslike polisie en buurtwaglede Naudé probeer red. Maar tevergeefs. Ná ’n soektog omstreeks 15:00 Vrydag van stapel gestuur is, is Naudé se lyk ná 10:00 die volgende oggend gevind.

Gert Bam, direkteur van sport, ontspanning en geriewe vir die Stad Kaapstad, sê Melkbaai vorm nie deel van die aangewese mensereddersgebied nie. Dus is die mees ideale swemgebied voor die menseredders se klubhuis, soos deur hulle geïdentifiseer en op die dag van die voorval met rooi en geel vlaggies aangedui is.

“Daar was 25 menseredders op die dag van die voorval aan diens.

“Geen menseredders was egter aan diens waar Naudé geswem het nie omdat die gebied nie een van die aangewese swemgebiede is nie,” sê Bam. Bosman sê al het die voorval buite die afgebakende swemgebied gebeur, het die menseredders steeds op die voorval reageer.

Volgens Louw sukkel hul familie nog om die dood van haar jongste broer te verwerk.

Sy sê dis veral moeilik vir Jacobs. “Ons is geskok dat ons geliefkoosde kind so skielik van ons weggeneem is. Ons is nog baie seer, maar dit is alles deel van die Here se plan en ons kan slegs dankie sê vir die tyd wat ons saam met hom deurgebring het,” sê Louw.

Naudé word Saterdag uit die Nazarene Kerk begrawe. Die kerkdiens begin om 09:00, en hy sal om 12:00 by die Welmoed Begraafplaas in Melton Rose ter ruste gelê word.

Businesses beaming after festive spend JAMEY GORDON Although the festive season spend might have left many cash-strapped, Helderberg business owners received a welcome boost to their coffers.

Business at The Mill House Kitchen at Lourensford Wine Estate has been booming since the start of November – and it hasn’t yet slowed down, says owner Bjorn Guido.

The restaurant recently increased its capacity by 60 seats and even with the extra seats is struggling to keep up with demand.

According to Guido, the restaurant remains fully booked for at least three or four weeks in advance.

“We have no reason to complain,” laughs Guido.

Bryan Schmaltz, assistant manager at the Stables Restaurant at Vergelegen Wine Estate, boasts that the restaurant has been and still remains fully booked for lunch since 10 December.

Schmaltz says they have also welcomed a lot more walk-ins and large orders.

Stables also introduced its Lazy Leisure period during which it extended its operating hours in the last two weeks of December.

“During this time, and even after patrons had left after the lunch-hour rush, half our restaurant would still be full,” says Schmaltz.

Charmaine Henn, manager of The Thirsty Oyster Restaurant at the Old Harbour in Gordon’s Bay, says they have been very busy during the festive season, with constant queues.

She says on one occasion she noted 38 people waiting outside and in their vehicles to be seated.

Henn, however, noticed that patrons – a nice mix of foreigners, Joh’burgers and locals – did not drink as much as in previous years.

On the retail front, the festive cheer also kept tills ringing.

Daphne Kriel, centre manager for Waterstone Village in Somerset West, says the cen-

tre did exceptionally well, exceeding their expectations.

Kriel says 340 000 people came through the shopping centre during December alone.

Although most shoppers who visited the centre at this time would recall the parking nightmare, Kriel assures that plans are in place to expand the parking area.

Tommy Brink of the Reef Beach Café in Beach Road Strand says business was booming to such an extent that he was forced to close shop early on 2 January when he had run out of stock. Brink says no number of visi-

tors can be too many for the area.

Shameem Wasili, manager of KFC Beach Road, is ecstatic about their sales on New Year’s Day. Wasili says she had 35 staff on duty, instead of the normal 12 staff members, and there were queues inside and outside the fast food outlet throughout the day.

Vasco Das Neves of the well-known Pop-In Café in Gordon’s Bay is happy about the number of holidaymakers that visited the town.

“There were plenty of people; beaches were tjok en blok full. It’s excellent, it’s the only way that I can exist,” Das Neves said.

BEST NEW YEAR’S GIFT: Blanche Matondo Diatezua of Strand boasts here with her lit­ tle baby boy, Peace, who was one of five babies born on New Year’s Day at the Macassar health care facility’s ma­ ternity ward. The first baby girl was born at 00:58, followed by another girl and three boys. A baby boy was al­ so born at Medi­ clinic Vergelegen.

Jubilation as matric results released Students from Khanyol­ wethu Secondary in Lwandle excitedly queued to get their re­ sults. Andile Koyi, chair­ person of the governing body, on the left, and Eric Titipana (far right), principal at Khanyol­ wethu, are both very proud of the students.

With them are three of their students who passed: Nonkosikhohna Zoleka, Vuyiseka Willi­ am and Stuma Vuyoka­ zi.

There were scenes of jubilation and celebration as matriculants from Helderberg schools received their final examination results on Tuesday.

Elation and relief were seen on the faces of the successful candidates who have now officially completed 12 years of schooling.

Some of these learners will now embark on tertiary education careers, others will take a gap year and many will enter the working world.

DistrictMail visited a few schools to capture the excitement of the day.

IT’S DONE! Following a long wait after writing their final examinations in November, matricu­ lants across the Helderberg were elated to fi­ nally receive their matric results on Tuesday 6 January. This year the province recorded an 82,2% pass rate – dropping from the 85,1% recorded by the class of 2013. Successful Zandvliet High School matriculants, from left, Libur Martin, Tamryn Roelf and Shaneen Vlaandorp, celebrated their results with fellow classmates.

Gemeenskap dam beweerde diewe by DELIAH BRINKHUIS Die polisie het Dinsdag volsterkte in Sir Lowry’s Pass toegeslaan toe ’n skare inwoners twee mans aangerand het wat daarvan verdink word dat hulle ’n televisiestel gesteel het.

Volgens Somerset-Wes se polisie woordvoerder, sers. Suzan Jantjies, het die beweerde huisbraak en diefstal omstreeks 07:00 die oggend plaasgevind.

Jantjies sê bykomende hulp is onmiddellik van die Strand en Lwandle polisiestasies, sowel as die polisie se eenheid vir openbare orde, ontbied nadat sowat 60 inwoners met wapens, onder meer knopkieries en stokke, op die mans toegesak het. ’n Polisie-helikopter het ook die gebied gepatrolleer.

Jantjies sê verskeie adresse in die dorp waar vermoedelik gesteelde goedere verkoop word, deur lede van die gemeenskap en

die twee verdagtes uitgewys is.

Die televisie is by een van die huise opgespoor.

Sy sê ’n saak van huisbraak en diefstal wat met die onlangse voorval verband hou word ondersoek.

Volgens Jantjies het die verdagtes veelvuldige wonde in die aanval opgedoen met een van die verdagtes wat ook ’n oop wond aan sy kop gehad het wat vermoedelik deur ’n hamer veroorsaak is. Sy sê niemand is tot dusver in ver-

band met die voorval in hegtenis geneem nie. Daar moet nog vasgestel word of dié mans met die voorval verbind kan word.

Dinsdag se voorval is die tweede vigilante-aanval in dié gebied in minder as ’n maand.

Op 15 Desember verlede jaar het ’n ontstoke skare ook ’n 41-jarige man wat daarvan verdink is dat hy ’n sewejarige meisie verkrag het, aangerand. Volgens Jantjies het die man se vriendin omstreeks 17:00 die middag op

hom afgekom in die wendyhuis waar sy woon, waar hy na bewering besig was om haar dogtertjie te verkrag. Volgens Jantjies het ontstoke inwoners die man aangerand en moes die polisie tussenbeide tree. Die verdagte het mediese hulp op die toneel gekry voordat hy in hegtenis geneem is.

Hy het Woensdag 17 Desember in die Somerset-Wes-landdroshof verskyn en bly in aanhouding tot sy volgende verskyning op 27 Januarie vir sy borgtogaansoek.

VEGETATION BLAZE STUBBED: Smoke bil­ lowed along Old Sir Low­ ry’s Pass Road towards Somerset West on Tuesday due to a veld fire. Fire­ fighters battled for more than six hours to bring a vegetation fire in the vi­ cinity of the Pistol Range under control. Sharon Bosch, spokesperson for the City’s Fire and Rescue Services, says the fire broke out at 13:50. Ac­ cording to Bosch, addi­ tional firefighters were dispatched to bring the fire under control at 19:40. She said the fire brigade remained on scene throughout the night and was still monitoring the area Wednesday morning just before 08:00.

Mail Live outside yourself this year At the start of each new year, resolutions are drawn up – we undertake to quit smoking, lose weight, join a gym or live a healthier lifestyle.

But a couple of weeks after these vows are made, they recede into memory.

Instead of the usual resolutions this year, why not decide to get involved in your community to make a difference?

Join the neighbourhood watch, start a feeding scheme, coach a junior soccer team or attend community meetings to highlight concerns.

So much more can be achieved if everyone joins hands.

Thanks for caring about our dogs, but...

I am pre-empting a possible report about us leaving our dogs in the car at the Virgin Active car park on Saturday 3 January at about 12:00.

It was a mild cloudy day, but the car was nevertheless parked under a tree.

Three of the four windows had been left partially open, two at about 60 mm and one at about 120 mm.

The car was left unlocked.

When we returned from shopping 20 minutes later, the car guard reported that when our parking neighbours returned to their vehicle, our dogs began barking, as they do when they feel they need to protect their master’s possessions.

These people apparently thought the dogs were barking because they had been locked in the car!

They then proceeded to note down our licence plate number and involved the car guard in their observation, saying they were going to report us.

On our return the dogs were sitting quietly, as they always do when waiting for us – except when somebody comes near our car!

We appreciate our “parking lot neighbours” being concerned about our dogs’ welfare, but we would like to assure them that we would never leave our dogs in the car without open windows, nor would we leave them in the car if it were a hot day.

But we thank them for caring.

‘Geen orde in Macassar; mense nie bang vir polisie’ Ek voel jammer vir Macassar-inwoners wat gebuk gaan onder misdaad en wil nie onsensitief voorkom met ’n rusverstoring klag nie.

My onsensitiewe bure het Saterdag 22 November vanaf 22:30 tot die volgende dag 09:20 oorverdowende musiek in hul agterplaas gemaak.

Ek het Macassar-polisie 13 keer gebel – die een keer wat hul na die huis gekom het, het die polisieoffisiere met my buurvrou vir vyf minute gesels.

Toe hulle om 23:10 wegry, word die musiek nog harder gespeel en die gaste sing kliphard saam.

Ek skakel toe ’n paar noodnommers in die hoop dat daar iemand is wat my kan help.

Ek het 13 keer 10111 gebel, maar die foon het net gelui – dis dieselfde nommer wat die polisie glo my klag gerapporteer het. Ek het ook die name van die twee offisiere wat by my buurvrou was, gevra, maar hulle kon dit nie verskaf nie, want hulle het glo nie die beamptes uitgestuur nie.

Ek het die Metropolisie by 021 480 7700 twee keer gebel. Hier moes ek lank luister na ’n opname wat sê jy moenie die foon neersit nie, maar my lugtyd was aan die uitloop.

Ek het ook wetstoepassing by 0860 765 423 geskakel. Hierdie nommer het ek ook twee keer gebel en hulle het belowe om iemand na die adres te stuur.

Terselfdertyd het ek wetstoepassing by 021 596 1999 ook twee keer geskakel, en dieselfde is aan my belowe.

Ek het ook e-posse aan Macassar-polisie en Stad Kaapstad gestuur, maar my e-pos aan die polisie het misluk en ek wag steeds vir terugvoering van die Stad.

Ek het ook geen vreugde gekry met tweets na die Stad en DA, sowel as my klagtes op Facebook nie.

Ek het telefonies met vier persone by die polisiestasie gepraat – die een persoon het aangedring dat ek Engels praat, want hy verstaan nie Afrikaans nie. Ek sidder om te dink wat sou gebeur het as ek in ’n noodsituasie was en slegs van die polisie of wetstoepassing se hulp afhanklik was.

Op Maandag 24 November het ek die saak by die polisiestasie aangemeld – daar is ek van bakboord na stuurboord gestuur en het weggestap met ’n belofte dat iemand my sal kontak.

Hier is nie meer orde in Macassar nie; klagtes val op dowe ore en ons loop gefrustreerd rond terwyl die oortreders breëbors rondloop.

Ek stel voor ons kies ’n nuwe raadslid wat aan almal se klagtes aandag gee – nie net die van rykes nie. ’n Raadslid wat Macassar wil sien vooruitstreef en nie net op hul eie belange fokus nie.

Tagtig persent van inwoners praat en verstaan Afrikaans; kan 80% van die polisiemag nie Afrikaans wees?

Ons ouer garde sukkel om op hierdie stadium te leer Engels praat.

Kan 50% van die lede nie van die gemeenskap afkomstig wees nie? Hulle ken die gebied goed, kan flink optree as daar ’n nood is en sal lojaal wees.

Voorheen kon kriminele nie kanse vat soos vandag nie, want die polisie het daardie tyd geweet wie jy is. Vandag is hul nie bang vir die polisie nie.

Dit het vroeër gewerk en dit kan weer werk, mits die regering besef dat hul reëls nie werk nie.

Tot die Rasta’s het ’n fees wat hulle Sondagmiddae in ’n woongebied hou. Kan die fees nie op die ou sportveld gehou word nie?

Ons kan Macassar saam opbou. Die helfte van die probleme kan ons oplos as ons mekaar respekteer.

Respekteer ander se lewe; moenie moor en verkrag nie. Respekteer ander se besittings; moenie inbreek en vat wat nie aan jou behoort nie.

Respekteer mekaar se geloof; moenie mekaar kritiseer of jou geloof op ander afdwing nie. Respekteer mekaar, wees vriendelik, neem ander in ag en moenie opsetlik konflik veroorsaak nie.

DEBBIE MYBURGH MACASSAR

Macassar-polisie se stasiebevelvoerder lt.kol Sindile Mbese se kommentaar: “Hierdie kantoor neem kennis van die klagtes en sentimente van mev. Myburgh en kan bevestig dat sy die stasiebevelvoerder besoek het rakende ’n klag oor dienslewering. Die klag word ondersoek. Die stasiebevelvoerder was verbaas oor die wyse waarop die klaer hanteer is en is in die proses om regstellende aksie te neem.

Priya Reddy, mediabestuurder: woordvoerder vir die Stad Kaapstad: “Die Stad beskou die klagtes in ’n ernstige lig en sal ondersoek instel na die bewerings van die klaer.

Die Stad sal die nodige aksie neem wanneer die ondersoek gefinaliseer is.”

Raadslid John Heuvel, subraadvoorsitter vir wyk 22, het verkies om nie kommentaar op die brief te lewer nie.

LETTERS A message to town leaders New Year’s Day – what a lovely day it was; what a ghastly day it was.

Please don’t read anything into the following words other than what is written and don’t read this as a blow to our lawmen.

They do whatever they can under the given circumstances.

Now that we have experienced another “filthy” New Year’s Day in our beautiful dorp – for the umpteenth time – we must now act. Elected managers of our town, hear this and listen good.

Be proactive.

We have seen so many times that handling any kind of situation reactively results in a loselose situation. Therefore, being reactive does not work. Now it is time to be proactive. And the only way it will work next time, is by getting the following in place: ) Determine the number of legal parking bays in Beach and De Beers Roads, as well as the little connecting roads. That is the number of vehicles that can be accommodated; the rest is overflow and should be shown away. Have strategic booms set up with lawmen handling the flow. This message needs to be advertised months before a New Year’s Day to prevent any point of uncertainty. First come; first served. ) A parking space in any of said allocated parking areas need to be priced per car to generate additional income to cover the costs of cleaning up the beachgoers’ filth afterwards. Payment

Menings Views

can be made when entering at a boom. ) Enforce a ban on all buses and taxis, except in two strategic places, such as the golf course and station. [These can become] drop-off places and buses and taxis need to vacate to a pre-determined parking area such as a school ground or municipal open space. ) A smaller fee per adult, payable at the station by train users and the bus drop-off zones, must be raised before any individual is allowed on the beach. ) Camping and enjoying the day will be restricted to the beach – the white sand and grass areas along the seaside of Beach Road only.

Having just these five rules in place will put authorities in a proactive position to monitor, police and create an environment for everyone to enjoy a wonderful beach day. It will free up the congestion, minimalise the filth and keep beachgoers on the beach – and out of any private residence driveways and off pavements.

Please elected officials in charge of our dorp, we are fed-up with the unacceptable fiasco year after year. If you cannot get it right, appoint someone who can, but just do it. Be the managers you were elected to be.

I am looking forward to a lovely clean New Year’s Day next year.

CHRISTO THOMSON STRAND

Locals about holiday visitors Many locals avoid beaches during the festive season. It’s just an unpleasant battle for space on the roads and beaches, they feel.

On the other hand, there’s no better signal that it’s holiday season than when a line of cars moving slowly down Beach Road belts out the latest hits through open windows. And the monetary injection is also welcome.

We spoke to some locals for their views.

ZABIAN SWARTS (Strand): Visitors to the area are good for tourism and the economy. However, there should be more control, as people bring their own food and – sometimes – wea­ pons as well. The visitors create a fes­ tive atmosphere; I feel like a different person during this season. PHOTOS: TAS-

MIN CUPIDO

NICHOLAS GILBERT (Gordon’s Bay): Peo­ ple who visit the ar­ ea often bring their own food and do not support local businesses. Locals prefer to remain in their homes, because visitors occupy the area. The number of visitors to the beach should be regulated, so that it is not so packed. As a busi­ ness owner, I noticed people only entered when they needed to use the bathroom fa­ cilities and ended up leaving it in a mess.

CHANELLE STEYN (Gordonsbaai): Dit was verskriklik besig en nie lekker nie, want dit neem lan­ ger om by jou be­ stemming uit te kom.

Ons kon nie eens strand toe gaan nie en moes na ’n stiller gedeelte, wat besoe­ kers nie van weet nie, gaan. Dit was ongerieflik vir plaas­ like mense.

FANIE KRUGER (Strand): The festive season was fine; there were not as many visitors as in previous years. I think the wind blew people away. I be­ lieve something should be done to control the use of al­ cohol on beaches, as people do not watch their children when they are intoxicated.

CHRISNA OTTO (Gordonsbaai): Dit was ’n besige Kers­ seisoen. Gedurende hierdie tyd neem dit langer om te kom waar jy wil wees –ons wou Kaapstad toe gaan, maar dit het ons twee ure ge­ neem om uit die Strand te kom. Ter­ selfdertyd skep die besoekers ’n lekker atmosfeer en jy kan voel dis vakansie.

DEIDRE VAN DER MERWE (Somerset­ Wes): Dit was chao­ ties, maar stiller as vorige jare. Ek dink die minder besoekers is as gevolg van die swak ekonomie. Ek was Nuwejaarsdag op die strand en dit was glad nie vol of ongerieflik nie.

PHIRDOUZE TELHO (Strand): On New Year’s Day, the trains were really full; it was very scary. I worked at a store in Somerset Mall over the holiday period, so I saw a definite increase in shoppers during this time.

LANCE PHILANDER (Strand): Ek is ’n vis­ handelaar en die feesseisoen was goed vir my besig­ heid – ek het baie meer vis verkoop.

Daar was baie ver­ keer en geen ander probleme, behalwe vir die mense wat verdrink het.

Diskoers-reeks by Woordfees gaan tonge behoorlik laat klap Diskoers was nog altyd een van die Woordfees se sterkste aanbiedings, en in 2015 selfs meer so. Buiten die gewilde Praat Saam op RSG, Beste Professor en toneel-gesprekke, is daar vanjaar die nuwe Russel Botman-debatreeks, ter ere van die Universiteit Stellenbosch se vorige rektor wat in Junie 2014 oorlede is.

Soggens skop die Diskoers-dag af met Monitor op RSG, aangebied deur Cobus Bester en Anita Prinsloo – twee ou bekendes by die fees. Om 08:00 skuif hul kollega, Ivor Price, agter die mikrofoon in vir Praat Saam, wat oudergewoonte met die steun van

USB-Ed aangebied word. Bywoners en luisteraars kan, soos in die verlede, vrae oor die dag se onderwerp aan die paneel kenners stel.

Dan is dit weer die beurt van prof.

Andreas van Wyk, voormalige USrektor en regskenner, vir sy gewilde reeks Beste Professor, praatjies met ánder (soms afgetrede) professors oor brandpunte in hul onderskeie velde.

Nog ’n professor wat vanjaar ’n interessante reeks aanbied is prof. Herman Giliomee.

Die tema is Anderste Helde en Giliomee en sy gaste herontdek ’n paar helde – dikwels Afrikaans – wie se bydra-

es meer aandag verdien.

FW de Klerk lewer vanjaar die Japie Basson-gedenklesing in leierskap – skaars ’n maand ná die 25ste herdenking van sy toespraak in 1990 waartydens die ANC, onder meer, ontban en vrye en regverdige verkiesings in die vooruitsig gestel is. Nóg ’n swaargewig is Ton Vosloo. Hy neem ons 100 jaar terug in sy huldeblyk aan Jan Marais, die stigter van Naspers en Die Burger, en sekerlik een van die grootste filantrope wat Suid-Afrika nog gehad het. . Woordfees vind van 6 tot 15 Maart plaas.

Brace yourself for fast-paced sevens action There is good news for Helderberg sevens rugby fans and players – Strand Pioneers Sports Club will be staging their third annual Sevens tournament on Saturday 24 January.

The event, called the Spar Strand Pioneers Sevens, will be held at the Abattoir Sports Ground in Strand.

Since the inception of this tournament it has grown bigger and better every year.

Lady Luck turned her back on locals Marc Gleed (pilot) and Wiltas Leeuwner (co-pilot), racing in the Pro Stock class in the Brent Oil sponsored boat, during this year’s Trans Agulhas Inflatable Boat Challenge.

Gleed says they broke two floorboards, ruptured a petrol tank and also had their car keys and cellphones stolen during the course of the race.

The 800km race, which started in Plettenberg Bay on Sunday 28 December and finished on Strand Beach on Thursday 1 January, saw 30 boats in competition.

The first mishap occurred 60km into the race, near the Knysna Heads, when one of the boat’s floorboards broke.

This forced them to take the boat through the heads then rush to their base in Mossel Bay, where they replaced the floorboard before being able to compete in the surf race.

On the leg from Mossel Bay to Stilbaai they were doing well and were among the top-six boats and third in their class, when they noticed fuel in the boat near the Gourits River Mouth. “I looked down at the fuel bladder and saw it had ruptured; there was fuel all over the boat. To make matters worse we had also broken an-

other floorboard. We managed to limp into Stilbaai and repair the boat before the stage to Struisbaai,” Gleed says.

In rough waters the next day they ran close to the shore and made up good time without any problems. The pair had another good clear run and finished second in their class at the overnight stop at Hawston Beach.

That night their vehicle’s keys and cellphones were stolen and someone had to drive back to Somerset West in another vehicle to get spare keys.

On the final day from Hawston to Strand, the weather looked good but they experienced strong winds all the way to Pringle Bay. From there, the water was flat all the way to Strand.

Gleed and Leeuwner finished third in their class in the longhaul on the final day, second in the surf race, fourth overall and second overall in the surf. “Considering all the bad luck, we were pleased with our overall position. This was my fourth Agulhas and the first time I had problems with fuel tanks and floor boards breaking,” Gleed says.

He thanked race organisers, the team’s sponsors and officials for the outstanding job they did controlling spectators and traffic at the finish at Strand Beach.

Boat anglers catch big yellowfin tunny on the south side of Cape Point I would like to wish all anglers and readers a prosperous and successful 2015.

Our local beaches have had a fair share of visitors and anglers this season.

Anglers are often frustrated at this time of the year, as they find it difficult to find parking and a fishing space during the day.

Most locals fishing from the shore and reefs generally fish during the early morning and evenings when the slightly cooler southerly wind drives most of the bathers and visitors away.

There have been reports of fairly

good catches of smaller kob, just size (50cm) and slightly larger, while numerous undersized kob have been returned to the water.

Keen local spinner men have often had their quotas of elf, while a number of just size leerfish (garrick) of 70cm were captured and released.

Jurie van Niekerk, a regular reef angler, also caught the odd geelbek (Morocco size) and a few dassie, up to 1,8kg.

Jurie also mentioned that he and his partner, while wading to the reefs, observed a number of massive stingrays in the shallow water near Strand Beach.

He warned reef anglers to be on the lookout for these rays and be careful when wading to and from reefs, as well as when jumping off the reef to wade to the shore or shallower reef when the water rose.

Stingrays are often lured nearer to the reefs when smelling the bait and fish hanging on stringers behind the anglers.

Ferdi Joubert, who was on holiday in Pearly Beach, said there were plenty of visitors and anglers in that area and only a few kob and steenbras were caught from 1 January.

He mentioned that Pearly Beach’s shore angling club will hold its monthly competition on Saturday (10 January).

Riaan Steyn, fishing with Hannes Smuts and Christoffel Botha (Jan) at Rietfontein and Die Dam areas, said fishing was generally quiet, but

last weekend good catches of kob were reported.

He added that after the strong water subsided over the weekend, there were also good catches of yellowtail. The same was reported at Struisbaai after the rough seas calmed down.

Last Friday evening there were reports of good catches of geelbek by commercial and recreational boats in Simon’s Town.

Earl Fenwick, who fished for yellowtail off Cape Point in the Bellows area on Sunday, said he caught only one yellowtail and one katonkel.

He stated that at 25 fathoms there was a distinct thermo climb that registered on his echo sounder.

This phenomenon is always indicated by a red line.

Earl further explained that this thermo climb is possibly the reason

that shoals of fish like yellowtail, geelbek and kob are driven closer inshore.

Well known charter boat skipper Alan du Plessis said that there were good catches of yellowfin tunny taken on the south side of Cape Point at the Canyon on Sunday.

He, Jason Jooste and other crew members had nine yellowfin tunny all in the 40kg and 50kg class aboard.

Also doing well in the same area on Sunday was Patrick Christodoulou on Magoofta.

Sam Brown, who was catching tunny from a commercial vessel on the north side of Hout Bay on Sunday, reported the catching and releasing of a 60kg black marlin.

TOUCH RUGBY SERIES: H’BERG’S SCORE LIVING LEGENDS MAKE IT TWO IN A ROW

Team rewrites Touchies history The Helderberg based Score Living Legends rugby team made touch rugby history in December when they lifted the National All Gold Hot Summer of Touch rugby tournament trophy for the second consecutive year.

No other team in the history of this popular touch rugby tournament has ever managed to achieve this impressive feat.

This is especially pleasing for this team, many of whom travelled in the back of a bakkie to participate in this event in 2008. That year the players did not have a sponsor and had to camp in a tent near the different venues and used their prize money, gleaned from winning different stages, to buy food.

The following year the team received a sponsorship and went on to win the tournament.

Manager/coach Nigel Phillips believes touch rugby has really gone from strength to strength in the Helderberg, as six of the top teams competing in this year’s tournament were from the area. These teams are: Score Living Legends, Reds, Dwergies, Pacific Blue, Hawaiians and the Drifters.

Michael la Meyer, Christopher Josephs, Harry Fingers and Zandé de Klerk were not present when the photo was taken. PHOTO: THYS LOMBARD The tournament kicked off in Camps Bay on 14 December and ended on 31 December in Hartenbos.

The Score Living Legends won five of the seven legs of the tournament and played in two semi-finals.

Their road to the title was as follows: 14 December – Camps Bay (semi-finals), 16 December – Strand (winners), 21 December – Onrus Beach (winners), 23 December Struisbaai (semi-finals), 26 December –

Stilbaai (winners), 29 December – Diaz Beach (winners) and 31 December – Hartenbos (winners).

Phillips says the superb captaincy and leadership of Fabian Philander kept the team focussed during

all seven stages of the event.

He adds that the hard work, many hours of practise and dedication by all the team members led to their success.

He further thanks everyone who helped in preparing the team for the tournament, especially Morne Adams, Armien Bailey and sponsors Score Energy Drink, Le Roux Conradie and former international tennis star Björn Borg for their unfailing support.

As a result of the team’s success, Phillips says, they plan to participate in a number of Sevens tournaments around the Cape this season to see how they will fare.

The Score Living Legends team members are: Fabian Philander, Patrick van Wyk, Nazeem Wood, Harry Fingers, Christopher Josephs, Michael la Meyer, Franco Oktober (all from St Georges), Bradley Mentoor (Helderberg RFC), Nannie Latief (Strand Secondary), Zandé de Klerk (no club), and Ashwill Gordon (Springbok Touch Rugby player).
