COASTAL MANAGEMENT

Tidal pools need lifelineMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Heritage restrictions have slowedprogress on a plan to upgrade the KalkBay tidal pools.

The upgrade along with the repair workto the Glencairn tidal pool resurfaced as hottopics at the monthly South Peninsula Sub-council meeting last week.Councillors questioned the delays and

raised concern about the state of the Glenc-airn pool.Chairperson Felicity Purchase explains

the pool wall has been damaged over the last10 years and is in need of urgent repairs.Speaking at the meeting Carien Stegman,

an official from the City of Cape Town’ssports, recreation and amenities depart-ment, explained they had obtained heritageapproval for the repairs at Glencairn.Ward councillor Simon Liell-Cock voiced

his frustration with the delays and ex-plained in 2012 a budget was available butan Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)was needed and set the project back.“The EIA was for the footpath and not the

tidal pool. In 2012 they had the budget andI fail to see how in 2015 we will get a newbudget three years later,” he said.In response Dave Gretton, an official from

the same department, explained theCity hasset up a coastalmanagement task team to ad-dress various coastal matters including tid-

al pools.He explained officials had to look at vari-

ous issues of which tidal pools is only onefactor.However, councillors expressed their

fears that the Glencairn tidal pool wouldcompletely disappear.Proposed changes to the Kalk Bay swim-

ming pools are expected to take a bit longer.In 2013, the Kalk Bay/St James Residents’

and Ratepayers’ Association made sugges-tions for improvements to make the poolmore user friendly.Purchase explains this includes the re-

moval of the wall between the two pools toallow swimmers to swim laps across the twopools.

She explains due to the age of the pools,the proposed change needed approval fromthe national heritage department.According to a report tabled at the sub-

councilmeeting, the City is finalising a tidalpool management plan for all 22 tidal pools.“However, as these structures may be seenas having heritage value, engagement withnational heritage around legal approvalsand compliancy are required,” it reads.Speaking at the meeting, Stegman ex-

plained due to changes in legislation the pro-posed works could not be approved by theprovincial heritage department.V What do you think needs to be changed at the KalkBay tidal pools? Starting with the word “Post”, SMSyour thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

EMPLOYMENT

Fight for right to workASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A woman with a physical disability hasnot given up her own fight to ensurepeople living with disabilities have a

right to decent employment.Undere Deglon, CEO of Disability Work-

shop Development Enterprise (DWDE),works closely with a number of companiesin the private sector that are committed toemploying people with disabilities.

The Institute for Promotion of DisabledManpower, in partnership with WesternCape Network on Disability, held a summit

at the Cape Town International ConventionCentre (CTICC) on Friday 13 February.

Sinawe Pezi, deputy CEO of DWDE, ex-plained through education, empowermentand networking opportunities between em-ployers and people with disabilities, the orga-nisation’s Employment Support Servicesmakes a significant contribution towards en-riching lives, building an inclusive societyand inspiring young people on their way to-wards finding opportunities for work.

The DWDE launched the Employment Sup-port Services in 2013 across South Africa withan associated target employment of 1200 peo-ple with disabilities in the open labour mar-

ket.Pezi says the 2% employment campaign

is a partnership between DWDE, theJobs Fund, administered by the Develop-ment Bank of Southern Africa and the Unit-ed Nations Special Rapporteur on Disabili-ty.

“We seek to create awareness among em-ployers about the employability of peoplewith disabilities and to give people withdisabilities exposure to employment op-portunities and guide them in the right ca-reer choices,” she says.

During the Disability Employment Sum-mit, the organisation presented an over-view of an employment creation cam-paign.

It was revealed at the summit that theprivate sector is well on its way to meetingthe 2% quota set out by government, whilesome are exceeding expectation.

Pezi says many South Africans with disa-bilities desperately require an increase injob creation initiatives to overcome the un-employment problem.

“Unemployment is the root cause of pov-erty and inequality, and can be a contribut-ing factor to substance abuse, increasedlevels of crime and social exclusion,” shesays.

Pezi says according to Statistics South Af-rica Census 2011, there are just over two mil-lion (7.54%) people with disabilities, exclud-ing certain groups and children youngerthan five, compared to people without disa-bilities which total just over 35 million(92.46%).

“On the other hand, the Commission forEmployment Equity Annual Report2013/2014, reporting on employment equityprogress among designated employers, not-ed after 15 years there are only about 50 000(0.9%) people with disabilities in employ-ment,” she says.

This is miles away from the target of 2%employment of persons with disabilities setby the government, Pezi explains.

“The Employment Equity Act in South Af-rica was intended to eliminate discrimina-tion in employment by developing a labourforce that is broadly representative of theSouth African population,” she says.

However, Pezi says, many unemployedSouth Africans with disabilities remain con-demned to a life of dependence on disabilitygrants.

“We would like to partner with the privatesector and government institutions to assistthem with achieving their 2% quota,” sheurges.

Pezi adds that South Africa will have a dis-ability census in 2015 which will hopeful-ly show an accurate profile and preva-lence of all disability types in South Afri-ca.

“Both internationally and locally, thereare difficulties in obtaining accurate disabil-ity statistics,” she says.

MASIPHUMELELE

Thumbs down for liquor shopMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

An application for the construction of aliquor shop in Masiphumelele hasbeen given the thumbs down.

The application made by resident Dali-wonga Mnyombolo for a temporary depar-ture to his Leballo Road home came underscrutiny at the monthly subcouncil meeting.

According to the report tabled at the meet-ing, the applicant seeks approval for a tem-porary departure to permit a liquor shop tooperate from a portion of the property.

The double-storey home already includesa built-on shop which consists of a counterand three store rooms.

In February, the liquor enforcement unitconducted a site inspection and found there

was no authorised land use for this shop.In the motivation, the applicant raised the

lack of space for business trading in the area,the employment of four people and saysthere will be no negative impact on the sur-rounding residents.

The application received an objection byprovincial government who cited the closeproximity of the shop to MasiphumeleleHigh School.

In response the applicant stated while theshop was close to the school, there was noaccess to the shop from Chasmay Roadwhere the school’s entrance is located.

Speaking during the meeting, South Pen-insula Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Pur-chase said the boundary wall along Chas-may Road was more down than up.

She also explained deliveries were made

in Chasmay Road.Speaking from his home, Mnyombolo

said he was disappointed with the decision.He says he has been trying to obtain a li-quor licence for almost seven years.

“They keep rejecting me when I am theonly one trying to legalise my business.There are so many shebeens in Masi thatare next to churches and crèches who don’thave a licence but they can just carry on.”

Sitting on an old car parked on his porch,Mnyombolo pages through a file contain-ing all his documentation.

He produces a letter from Ocean View po-lice supporting his application.

He also informs People’s Post of a courtcase which ran last year and explains inOctober he was found guilty of selling alco-hol without a licence and sentenced toPollsmoor Prison for four months.

He was released in February and is cur-rently on parole.

“I am sad. I have been trying for a longtime and the reasons they give are poor.There are so many people who are sellingalcohol illegally and they [the City and po-lice] do nothing. I have gone to jail and now

have to do community work,” he says, show-ing his community services log sheet.

According to this documentation Mnyom-bolo is required to work at Ukhanyo PrimarySchool on weekends.

Asked why he opted to sell alcohol, Mnyom-bolo explains: “There aren’t opportunities forwork. I have a wife and two children and withno jobs I sell alcohol. There aren’t other jobsfor us.”V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

FIRES

Allergy alert raisedIf you are wondering why your allergy is

getting worse, it is most probably be-cause of the recent fires in the area.According to a leading supplier of allergy

medication, nasal allergies can be muchworse, especially among those living inMuizenberg, Hout Bay, Noordhoek andStellenbosch where blazes were the mostrampant.

Allergy sufferers are being warned tostay indoors and limit exercise to minimisethe risk of their allergies being triggered bythe high levels of particulate matter in thesmoky air.

Mariska van Aswegen, spokesperson forthe company, says veld fires can intensifyallergy symptoms by up to 11%.

“Even if you can’t see or smell the smokefrom the fires, the body may still respondto particulate matter, which is made up ofminuscule particles or droplets of pollutionin the air that are inhaled,” she says.

Van Aswegen says this week’s fires mayalso play a part in increasing hospital traf-fic by putting more allergens in the air.“Any exposure to any kind of smoke tothose with underlying allergy conditionscan cause problems and make them moresusceptible to respiratory infections.

“Smoke is an environmental allergenthat contains particles which can irritatethe lungs, throat and eyes, triggering symp-toms like difficulty with breathing normal-ly; wheezing; shortness of breath; runnynose, itching, nasal congestionandobstruc-

tion of breathing and coughing (with orwithout mucous).

“The most commonly affected people areallergy sufferers, the very young – whoselungs are still developing – and the very old– whose lungs may be compromised.”

Fortunately, says Van Aswegen, thereare many steps allergy sufferers can taketo minimise the effects of the fires on theirhealth. She recommends:

. Taking your medications as pre-scribed, including antihistamines (askyour pharmacist for an antihistamine thatdoesn’t make you drowsy);

. Staying indoors with your windowsclosed as much as possible (commercial pa-per masks do not offer significant protec-tion);

. Limiting exercise outdoors – schoolchildren who suffer from allergies mayhave to cut back on sports training whenfires are ablaze and the high winds carryparticulate matter far and wide;

. Do not smoke, light candles or vacuumas these activities will increase the particu-lar matter count in your home;

. Wash your hair, clothes and pets afterbeing outside;

. Use eye and nasal drops to wash parti-cles out of your eyes and nose to decreaseirritation.

She urges sufferers or parents who sus-pect their children may be sufferers to ac-cess www.allergyexpert.co.za for more in-formation about allergies.

Michael Lategan (left) and Mark Prowse (right) were awarded for their sterling effortsto assist with the recent South Peninsula fires. Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Pur-chase (centre) says: “Without the neighbourhood watches and the volunteers wewould not have been able to fight the fires in Noordhoek and Clovelly. The FireDepartment was doing a magnificent job, but [the fires] stretched across too manyfronts. They were on the scene from early hours of Monday morning until Friday whenwe all were able to rest easier again.” PHOTO: EVELYN LYLE

scribe thewinner of theMrsSouthAf-rica competition.But with local beauty Candice Constable

fromOceanViewon the list of semi-finalists,competitionorganiserswill soonhave toaddsmart, passionate and caring to their de-scription.The young mom is making waves as she

pursues her dream of creating awarenessabout issues affecting women in the DeepSouth.Constable, who grew up in Ocean View, is

a trained actress. For many years sheworked with the Jungle Theatre companyand currently coordinates school work-shops for eMzantsi Carnival.She first heard about the competition a

fewyears ago and thought itwas interesting.“I had just hadmy daughter Claire and de-

cided to give it some time before entering.My daughter is two now and, being passion-ate about addressing the social ills thatplague many women, I decided to give it ago”.Constable has been named as a semi-final-

ist and is calling on Far South residents tosupport her bid to be crownedMrs South Af-rica.She explains the competition is focused on

women empowerment and not the size of

plains should she win, her dream is to hostworkshops for women.“And even if I do not win, I still plan to

GLENCAIRN WALL

Woe rages onMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

“The bricks are skew and it’s a dis-grace.”This is the message from South

Peninsula councillors to City of Cape Townofficials regarding the incomplete workalong Glencairn Main Road.The project has been a thorn in the side

of councillors for almost a year after a la-bour dispute with the contractor led toworkers downing tools on the project val-ued at just over R4m.The issue first arose in April when work-

ers from Red Hill, Ocean View and Masiph-umelele claimed they would not work untilthey were paid.The tender was awarded to Likhanyile, a

Johannesburg-based company.In January, councillor Simon Liell-Cock

raised concern about the City’s SupplyChain Management department and saidthe tenderwas awarded to a company seem-ingly not capable of carrying out the work(“Work hits a wall”, People’s Post, 27 Janu-ary). Speaking at the March subcouncil

meeting, chairperson Felicity Purchasedidn’t hold back as she voiced her dissatis-faction with the incomplete work.“I am not happy about this project. There

have been several labour issues and thebricks are skew. It’s disgraceful. The con-tainers left on the site were broken into andequipment stolen. Take thatmessageback,”she said.Brett Herron, City mayco member for

transport, says the transport department isnot aware of the theft of equipment and saysLikhanyile is still responsible and liable forall materials and equipment on site.“If any person or councillor has informa-

tion or evidence of theft of City propertythey should provide this to us urgently,” heexplains.In January, he said the City was not yet

looking for a new contractor as the disputebetween the parties had not yet been re-solved, and has been referred for mediationin accordance with the agreement betweenthe parties. Herron says about 60% of thework was completed.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your story to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

OCEAN VIEW

What a catchTwo Ocean View boys took the top

spots at the Galjoen Competitionhosted by the Great White Shark &

Surf Shop in Fish Hoek.The galjoen season officially opened

onSaturday 28February,withChadDel-carme and Alistair Farmer taking partin the competition on Saturday 7March.

The participants could catch a galjoenanywhere around the South Peninsulacoast and the fish would be judged ac-cording to size and weight.

Chad and Alistair headed to CapePoint with Chad’s father, Vincent Del-carme, of Ocean View. Chad was one of

the prizewinners in the junior sectionand was awarded for the biggest andheaviest galjoen. Alistair’s galjoen wasslighty lighter and smaller than Chad’scatch. Both of them caught three gal-joens for the day. All the prizes weresponsored by the Great White Shark &Surf Shop in Fish Hoek.

The pair also prevented a fatal breach-ing of a 1.5m dolphin on their way toPlatboom in Cape Point. It was cryingout for help and they pushed it back intothe ocean. The dolphin was full ofscratchmarks. It took awhile for the dol-phin to swim back into the ocean.

Chad Delcarme, a Grade 8 pupil at Ocean View High School, and Alistair Farmer, whois in Grade 9 at Simon’s Town High School, show off their winning catches.

Water shortageCape Town’s fresh water supply is under

major threat and according to the De-partment of Water and Sanitation most

analysts predict South Africa’s water de-mand will outstrip its supply by 2025.

Already the demand for water has over-taken supply in 60% of South Africa’s watermanagement systems.

However, according to water scientists,changing our everyday behaviour can helpto alleviate the pressure put on our reservesdue to climate change, pollution and outdat-ed infrastructure.

During National Water Week, Monday 16to Sunday 22 March, theWatershed Festivalaimed to restore the public’s appreciation ofclean and accessible drinking water, re-minding them of its worth, scarcity and theabsence of a substitute.

The festival saw free educational eventsheld across the city, including an outdoorscreening of two award-winning documen-tary feature films depicting water in all its

beauty at Green Point Urban Park.TheWatershed Festival looks to create in-

creased awareness of the Cape and SouthAf-rica’s water crisis. With dams currently at69% capacity, all it will take to literally runon empty is a few consecutive winters withless than expected rainfall thanks to climatechange.

And 40% of our waste water treatment fa-cilities are in a critical state and in need ofan upgrade, having outlived their 30-yearlifespan by a decade or so.

South Africa loses 37% of clean, drinkablewater through leaking pipes and drippingtaps every year, while increasing pollutiondue to rapidly expanding urban areas and il-legal dumping add to the crisis.V Win! Win! Win! Five readers stand a chance towin a Woolworth’s hamper of WLAB washing

detergents and laundry liquids , which have beenscientifically formulated for improved performanceand are phosphate free . Each hamper is worthR200. Go to www.peoplespost.co.za to enter.

As part of the Watershed Festival, free educational events, such as documentary screenings,took place across the city.

Despite the chilly air, the event offeredJerome Cornelius and Wendyl Martin insightinto the dilemma over water.

Families were treated to documentariesdepicting the beauty of water.

Poverty strickenand living inan informal settlement,thousands of shackdwellers are looking for a wayto raise their children in better conditions.

Topping the priority list is a home built with brickswhich does not flood every winter.Electricity without the dangers of an illegal connection

is a close second.Add to that clean running water which does not have

to be carried in a bucket from a tap several meters away.But often, the City of Cape Town’s alternatives given

to informal settlement dwellers come at far too high aprice – amove fromMaitland toMfuleni or from the CapeTown CBD to Strandfontein.Such moves will make it near impossible for these low-

income groups to keep their jobs or visit their families.And when informal settlement dwellers raise these is-

sues, they are often met with the immovable response:“Take it or leave it.”But the City is more than capable of bending over back-

wards for those they feel deserve it.Daily council makes concessions to big developers, al-

lowing them to build too close to the road or neighbouringboundary walls.These concessions see buildings springing up too high

on the mountain or at the expense of heritage fabric.The recipients of such concessions are often corpora-

tions worth millions, who give little back.Are they really the ones council should be giving con-

cessions to? Where is the pro-poor planning to comple-ment the City’s claims to pro-poor spending?Weneedholistic solutions that cover all sectors of socie-

ty, effective changes that reduce the incomegapandhous-ing proposals that go hand-in-hand with a sense of digni-ty.If council wants to give a developer a concession, let’s

see both of them hold out a helping hand first.

Build community spiritI have always envied Kalk Bay’s LeverStreet park. How interesting to hearfrom Judy Herbert about how it hasbeen achieved and maintained (“Park asuccess story”, People’s Post, 3 March).

I live in Glencairn Heights for thebeautiful view and closeness to thebeach.

However, it seems to me to be asuburb without a soul. The steep slopesmean not many people walk about forpleasure. Also there is no coffee shop atthe centre where residents could meetcasually.

I believe the empty land north of theMoth Hall is council land.

This could be a beautiful park and itsuse and the maintenance thereof wouldbuild community spirit in our suburb.

As things stand there is nowhere forchildren, nannies and families to meet.

Is there an organisation or a group ofparents which might take on thisproject? Presumably the first step wouldbe an approach to the council about theuse of the land?

JANE MCARTHUR,Glencairn Heights

Skate park? ‘Ridiculous’ ideaThe idea of a skate park on FishHoek Beach is absolutely ridiculous(“Skate park for valley”, People’sPost, 17 March).

This is a place we go to for relaxa-tion, walks and just to enjoy the seaand our wonderful beach. Parking isalready a big problem and this willjust complicate the whole issue; it

will become an absolute circus.They can take this crazy idea to

Long Beach Mall where it is out ofthe way.

Our beaches are sacred and weneed to look after them and preservethem for what they are. They are notskate parks.

JAMES STONE

Flower ‘loves heat’Yes, I too have the cactus (photo left) thatJoao has (Fisherman’s pride and joy,People’s Post, 10 March).

Mine does not have spikes nor hair onthe main stems.

It flowered in 2013 for the first timeand we had approximately eight flowers.

This year we had eight flowers butover two different periods. As soon as thetemperature soars above 30 it floweredand two weeks ago when it was thehottest day in a 100 years. So it lovesheat.

. Create a law that all institutionsmust have a disaster plan. A copy shouldbe kept by the City of Cape Town and beregularly updated. If an institution failsto do this, they could be held liable fortheir residents.

. Signs warning people about whatcauses bush fires and how to preventthem should be put up along the road-side, especially along the mountain areasand also were there is thick bush.Advertise a stompie hotline on a bill-board with the crying bokkie and astompie. It is important to have all three,because most people won’t bother to readit but the visual impact is what matters.

. More and wider fire breaks need tobe built in areas of large vegetation as apreventative measure of fires spreading.This is job creation for the jobless understrict control. Regular controlled burnsshould be carried in good conditions. Ifthis had been started and done regularlyyears ago, this disaster that is now goingto cause massive soil erosion and destroywildlife could have been prevented.

. All reports state the fires started onthe morning of Sunday 1 March. I drovealong Boyes Drive at 22:45 that Saturdayand above the mountain the sky wasextensively brightly lit up. I could notsee actual flames. Was this not picked upor reported on?

People’s Post reported that the firestarted on Sunday 1 March as receivedfrom the City of Cape Town’s information.– Ed.

. With all the road closures during thefires the Far South was cut off andadditional emergency vehicles haddifficulty with access. When will theybuild the tunnel through the mountain tolink up with De Waal Drive? – Adrian

. I am not hearing any attention beinggiven to fire breaks. Houses in Kommet-jie, Tokai and elsewhere are exposed topotential fynbos fire. There are timberand thatch roof houses with no firepaths. Surely, that’s the disaster. Afynbos fire is not a disaster.

. Manage the vagrant situation in theDeep South to ensure they are not in aposition to start fires to keep warm.

. The traffic grid locks and fire threatsto homes are resulting from the fact thattoo many people live in the Deep South.Stop all future residential developmentnow to ease the pressure. – Alec, Lakeside

. There should be a moratorium on allFar South development until roads, rail,water, sewage, electricity, internet anddisaster management can cope. The Cityrefuses to even discuss this. Why? –Graham Austin

. No more development in Deep South.It’s enough. – Lara

Cactus. I have the same cactus in my garden.

It is about 30 years old and stunningwhen in full bloom. The flowers arestarting now. – Matty Duddy

. My son lives in Southfield and hasthe same cactus. Sometimes it bloomstwice a year, but also only lasts one day.My son’s plant has quite a few flowers ata time. It is quite an experience whenthey bloom knowing they only last a day.

Rental stock. Why must the people of the flats

complain at the rent office? Where arethe two Ocean View councillors whenthese things happens? – Paul

Fish Hoek cottages. Built in the 1980s, these are people’s

homes. They have been kept waiting toolong. It is not acceptable. – M Bruce

. The leases should be renewed andseaside cottages kept. They are beautifuland a lovely place to holiday and retireto. The City must not be selfish aboutthis. Don’t change what works and arebeautiful. We don’t need this beautifularea to go to wrack and ruin too.

Scorpio creche. It is unfair towards the ECD forum

to allow the people who shut down thecreche due to arrears and the rent thatwas behind. Give the ECD Forum anoth-er chance.

. I suggest you give the ECD Forum achance to run the Scorpio creche.

South African Benji Brand came withinfive seconds of clinching his first WorldSurf League (WSL) title at the Pipe Pro

Junior in Hawaii, USA over the weekend be-fore local Josh Moniz successfully landed a‘Hail Mary’ 360 degree backhand aerial thatearned the Hawaiian the points required tosnatch the crown.

Competing in difficult two-metre surf thatmade wave selection critical in the WSLJunior 1 000 event, Brand who hails fromKommetjie, held the lead for the majority ofthe final by posting a pair of seven-pointrides after Moniz had been awarded a nearperfect 9.8 out of 10 score for his openingride, a deep tube in the Backdoor section atPipeline.

“After my nine I knew my chances of win-ning were pretty good, because people werewinning all day with about 13 points,” saidMoniz.

“But once I got it, I had a weird feeling ...I just couldn’t find a wave the entire heat.I know Benji so good. He’s so good at findinglittle waves when it’s like this, and he gothis two sevens and I became pretty freakedout.”

But Moniz’s never-say-die attitude saw the18-year-old from Honolulu add the Pipe ProJunior title to the Sunset Beach Pro Junior

crown he won last month.He, Brand and his younger brother, Seth

Moniz, are now among the favourites to se-cure the two berths for Hawaii’s top Juniorsin the year-end Vans Triple Crown of Surf-ing, the most prestigious title in surfing aft-er the WSL World Title.

Brand, who turned 19 last month, has rep-resented South Africa on numerous occa-sions as a junior but is also regarded as aHawaiian as his family have homes in Kom-metjie and Haleiwa, Hawaii.

He defeated a host of the world’s best sur-fers aged 20-and-under while advancingthrough four rounds of competition to reachthe final of the Pipe Pro Junior.

Chappies still first-choice route for OMTOMAccording to the organisers of the Old Mu-tual Two Oceans Ultra Marathon (OM-TOM), Chapman’s Peak is still the preferredroute for this race.

Following the devastating fires that ragedalong Cape Town’s Southern Peninsula,coupled with the regular closure of Chap-man’s Peak due to high winds and threaten-ing rock falls, there has been a questionmark over the inclusion of Chappies in theOMTOM route.

The organisers of OMTOM are still hope-ful that the Ultra Marathon will follow thenormal route, but stress that runners’ safe-ty remain a top priority in all planning.

“We continue to be in close contact withthe City of Cape Town Disaster Manage-ment team and other key role players, andkeep a finger on the pulse of all develop-ments affecting our Ultra Marathon route,especially Chapman’s Peak,” says CarolVosloo, general manager of the Old MutualTwo Oceans Marathon NPC.

“Running the event over Chappies is ourfirst choice, but with athlete safety beingour top concern and with less than twoweeks to go before the event, it is prudentto look at our alternative route as an op-tion.”

Ou Kaapse Weg is the official alternativeroute for the OMTOM, and was used for fouryears between 2000 and 2003, when Chap-man’s Peak was originally closed while thetunnels and rock fall catchment nets werebeing constructed.

The distance remains the same.“We are fortunate to have run the OM-

TOM along our plan-B route for four years,and that our team has the historic knowl-edge and experience to make the necessarylogistical changes to facilitate this, shouldit become necessary,” said Vosloo.

The availability of route alternatives isstandard procedure for any mass-participa-tion event of this scale.

The Ou Kaapse Weg detour route starts in

Main Road, Newlands, and takes runnersalong the scenic South Peninsula route,through Fish Hoek and into Kommetjie.But, instead of heading towards Chapman’sPeak, runners will turn towards and overOu Kaapse Weg, from where they will runalong the leafy Spaanschemat River Road.They will then join the half marathon run-ners at the Ladies Mile / Parish Road inter-section before heading onto Southern CrossDrive to follow the half marathon routealong Rhodes Drive and the M3 back to UCT.

“We thank runners for their patience.While we remain confident that the scenicChapman’s Peak route will stay in place, wehope that confirming the alternative planwill empower runners to prepare for thepossibility of a route change,” says Vosloo.

The Old Mutual Two Oceans Ultra andhalf marathons are scheduled to take placeon Easter Saturday 4 April.
