MYSTERY surrounds the discovery ofthree more skeletons which have beenunearthed inside the Police Museum inMuizenberg.
A source, who has seen the remains andrefuses to be named, described them as“two bodies in coffins” and “one (skeleton)lying next to the coffin”.
Another source says these were removedin “three black buckets” on Wednesday.
In December, workers renovating thepremises, built in 1910, made the first dis-covery of a single skeleton.
Employees of Bambana ManagementServices, the company completing the mul-ti-million rand renovations at the museum,said they were not allowed to comment.People’s Post has reliably learnt the re-
mains arebelieved todate back topost-1600,the Colonial era.
Brigadier Srini Govender, the police’ssection head of corporate communications,said the bones date back many years (“Sci-entists to verify bones find”, People’s Post,22 January).
Govender would not speculate on the ori-gin of the remains, but said the bones havebeen sent to an archaelogist for verifica-tion.
Govender says it is difficult to pinpointthe area where the bones were found, butsays the find was made during excavationwork undertaken inside the building.
He says excavation has been temporarilyhalted and adds the police is not in a posi-tion to speculate further until more infor-mation is made available.
Troy Phili, Unit Manager of BurialGrounds and Graves at the South AfricanHeritage Resources Agency (SAHRA), con-firmed the matter had come to SAHRA’s at-tention.
Adding the matter is “of a very sensitivenature”, he says detailed information onthe history of the burials would be estab-lished through further investigation byUCT’s Department of Human Biology.
This is also where the remains will bestoredprior to consultations and identifica-tion of a suitable space for re-burial andcommemoration.
Phili says, to his knowledge, this is thefirst such discovery in Muizenberg, com-pared to the Greenpoint/Prestwich Place
area where, he says, the roads and build-ings seem to have been built over a largeburial plot.
He says it remains to be seen whether thediscovery at the museum will remain anisolated case or reveal a more widespreadburial site.
He says the application for a permit forthe exhumation of the remains had firstbeen submitted to Heritage Western Cape,which deals with pre-colonial human re-mains as per agreement with SAHRA.
Phili says it was subsequently estab-lished the remains were more recent thanoriginally believed and, therefore, the casewas referred to SAHRA.
The permit will allow for further remov-als, provided they are not more than 10. Hesays in such an instance a new permit ap-plication would need to be lodged with SA-HRA.
This would require a public consultationprocess to ascertain the site’s historicalbackgroundand the identities anddescend-ants of people buried there, who, in turn,need to give consent for the exhumation, re-location and re-burial of remains.
The archaeologist conducting the analy-sis on the remains was unable to commentat this stage.
Phili notes in areaswhere there had beenforced removals, suchasNdabeni, theques-tion is what could have happened to thecommunity cemetery.
“There are other incidences where force-fully removed residents came back afterthe demise of apartheid and found graveshaving been built on or relocated withoutany consultations,” Phili says.
Peter Harrison, vice-chairperson of theMuizenbergHistorical ConservationSocie-ty, volunteers at Het Posthuys, which is ad-jacent to the museum and the oldest stand-ing building on the False Bay coastline.
He says the museum, in two sections,consisted of a Magistrate’s Court, completewith cells, and a police station.
The police stationwas previously used asa library and the courthouse as a post of-fice.
Harrison would not be drawn to com-ment about the discovery.
Chris Taylor, a specialist on the Battle ofMuizenberg (1795), says it is unlikely theremains would be casualties of this battlebetween the British forces and the De Ver-eenigde Ost-Indische Compagne (VOC).

Love sewn into every stitchHOW to make an American quilt?With love.
That’s the message a group of Ameri-can women brought with them when theydonated quilts to orphaned children at sixfoster homes.
The quilts – given to foster homes inMasiphumelele, Ocean View and Vry-grond – carry with them a message oflove.
It is the handiwork of women who areparishioners at St Peter’s EpiscopalChurch in Arlington, Virginia.
They developed the St Peter’s LoveQuilt Project as a result of a mission tripto Masiphumelele in 2011, during whichthey brought quilts for children in fosterhomes. Each quilt included individualartwork created by children from St Pe-ter’s that expressed what love meant tothem.
This year’s love quilts were displayedat the Fish Hoek Civic Centre this month.Organisers say the wealth of rich coloursand pleasing designs were greatly ad-mired.
Coordinator Gretchen Ginnerty gavetwo talks on the background to the projectand the far-reaching aspects of this re-markable outreach programme.
The Log Cabin pattern chosen for thequilts has American traditions, whichcan be traced back over 200 years. The de-sign encompasses contrasting light anddark colours representing happy and sadtimes. In each pattern block there is a cen-trepiece denoting the “hearth” of the
home. Each quilt has 20 of these smallsquares.
The humanitarian aspects of compas-sion, equality and giving is also a part ofthe lessons which the children learn.
Ginnerty used the analogy of “thethreads that bind”, saying the communi-ties are linked through the creation of thequilts, as are the recipients of the gift.
Ginnerty’s mother Roberta Poellein, al-so a talented quiltmaker, accompaniedher daughter. During the exhibition Poel-lein shared the finer points of quiltmak-ing. She designed her quilt using rustic,bold colours and using children’s draw-ings as centre pieces, thus followingGretchen’s design. The organisers say itis a quilt that reflects strength of charac-ter and say it was fitting it went to theeldest teenager at one of the handoverceremonies.
The St Francis Outreach Trust – whichis made up of volunteers from St FrancisChurch in Simon’s Town – along with theHomes from Homes organisation inSouth Africa have since identified 24more orphanages and foster homes atwhich children could use the gift of aquilt.
Ginnerty plans to return in 18 monthswith about 100 quilts to offer children.
Trust chairperson Monika du Sautoyjoined other members and the St Peter’sLove Quilt Project at the handover cere-monies. “The ceremonies are movingevents,” she says. “The community spiritalong with the love and good wishes im-bued in the quilts are handed on.”

son Lieutenant Colonel AndrèTraut says 12 people were ar-rested for assault with the in-tent to do grievous bodily harmand one arrest was made forrobbery.A total of 22 arrests were for

Hiker saved in daunting night rescueTERESA FISCHER
IN WHAT has been described as a “dramatic technicalrescue” lasting almost 12 hours, a hiker was carried offthemountain in the SilvermineNatureReserve, near El-ephant’s Eye.The victim, a 22-year-old man, tripped and broke his
leg while traversing a steep slope during a hike withfriends, says Robert de Wet, spokesperson for Emergen-cy Medical Treatment (EMT).Paramedics from EMT were called at 16:30 on Thurs-
day. DeWet says paramedics determined it would be toodifficult to access the patient in the prevailing weatherconditions andwith dusk approaching.Metro EMSwerethen contacted to initiate a “full-scale technical rescue”.Amedical response helicopter was unable to reach the
man due to low-lying fog so amedical teamwas deployedon foot and paramedics reached the patient at 19:30.De Wet says Metro EMS rescue technicians managed
the patient in difficult wet and rainy conditions for al-most 12 hours.Additional rescuers, including members of the Criti-
cal Care Retrieval System, Wilderness Search and Res-cue,MountainClub SA, ParksBoard and theHikersNet-work assisted throughout the night.The hiker was placed in a rescue basket and a rope
rescue system was set up to pull him up and out of themountain. He was eventually carried off the mountainshortly after 05:00 on Friday and taken to hospital in astable condition.De Wet says the rescue took so long because the man
was about 100m from the nearest footpath in a steeprocky area. It had taken long to reach him and by thenthe light was gone. The dark and rainy weather meantconditions were extremely challenging.De Wet says without the joint technical support and
assistance of all the groups involved, rescue efforts ofthis magnitude would not be possible.

DESPITE another delay in the installa-tion of the shark exclusion net at FishHoek Beach, the City of Cape Town isconfident the latesthurdlewill be ironedout within days.
Although everything was runningsmoothly last year, (“Net still on track”,Peo-ple’s Post, 27November), theCitywas subse-quently informed it would need to completea full environmental impact assessment(EIA) – a process which could take nearlytwo years – before it could issue a permit.This newswas delivered to the City by the
National Department of Environmental Af-fairs, which jointly issues the required per-mit, together with the Department of Agri-culture, Forestry and Fisheries.The EIA would be necessary if the net’s
mooring was to be anchored to a platform.However, the net is not a fixed structure
as it will be deployed and retrieved daily.The head of the City’s Environmental Re-
sourceManagementDepartment, GreggOe-lofse, says theCity is confident the issue hasbeen resolved and adds there “appears to be
no legal reason why we cannot proceed”.Meanwhile, the City is ready to test the
net as soon it receives the permit andweath-er conditions allow.Oelofse says: “We are hopeful that the per-
mit might be issued before the end of Janu-ary, but I cannot be sure of that.”Last year, the Fish Hoek Surf Lifesaving
Club expressed dismay at a delay in thenet’s deployment, originally planned forOc-tober (“Frustration at net delay”, People’sPost, 18 September).Negotiations were also held between the
City and the trek net fishermen, who main-tained the net would impact their ability tocatch fish.They have been catching fish in the area
for over 70 years.Their concern was the net would scare
away the fish, especially schools of valuableyellowtail.Once the permit is received, the testing of
the net will also depend on favourableweather conditions, says Oelofse.The 285m net, which is designed to act as
a shark barrier, will stretch from Jager’sWalk to the Law Enforcement offices on thebeach.

Peace vsprotestsVIOLENT protests about service deliveryhave in recent months marred the politi-cal landscape. People’s Post interns Tar-ren-LeeHabelgaarn andLuzukoZini tookto the streets and asked readers if the vio-lence is justified or it is a sign of despera-tion.
DESPERATE: Steve Fraser says while hedoesn’t condone violence, when people arehopeless they get desperate. “If people can’tget their point across what other option dothey have? Something needs to be done, butit all boils down to education; it allows you todecide what is right and wrong.”
Photos: Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini
UNACCEPTABLE: Stirling DamainHarris saysviolence is never justified. He thinks peopleprotest when they have come to the end oftheir patience. At that point, he says, there isno other way but violence. “I feel particularlysorry for the farmworkers who work in rain andsun, but get R50.”
NEVER VIOLENCE: Thelma Harris says violence should never be an option. She says itis particularly frustrating when protestersdon’t think of the inconvenience caused tothemselves and others. “If you take the farmorkers: when they go back to work the stuff(property) is broken. It is unfair towards themselves and the farmers.”
ELECT LEADERS: Taariq Samuels says: “That’stheir way of getting what they want, but it doesnot always go their way. Protesters shouldelect someone who will speak on their behalfto the people, company or government so thatthings can be resolved in a peaceful way.”
NOT IDEAL: KayLeigh Meistre believes protesting is a way for protesters to get attention,but believes violence is not the way. “Protesters need to speak up and voice their concernsinstead of being violent. Violence has neversolved anything but only makes things worse.”
UNJUST: Andiswa Sam says: “Violence is notthe way because it only makes things worse.Violence is not a sign of desperation, but anopportunity (for some people) to ruin what hasalready been done for them. The only way forward is to address issues in a civilised way.”
OTHER MEANS: Zach Simpson believes thereare other ways of dealing with the protesters’concerns. “The violence may be a sign of desperation, but there is no need for it. They shoulduse peaceful methods of protest that haveserved this and other countries well.”

Sewage spills at ZandvleiTERESA FISCHER
ASEWAGEspill into Zandvlei has been go-ing on for several months, says a Marinada Gama resident.And, according to Zoë Durbach, nobody
has been informed, including visitors orthose wanting to fish or swim.But the Director ofWater and Sanitation
at the City of Cape Town, PhilemonMashoko, says the spillage was not contin-uous. He says the first spill (14 January)was one from a local sewer and the subse-quent one (21 January) was from a pumpstation failure.Durbach says the spill is in the canal on
Wildwood Island, which feeds into the vlei.“You can imagine the sight, the smell,
the birds caught in it, the dead fish, deadanimals and of course the threat of dis-ease,” she says.Mashoko says a blockage caused by an
illegal object caused the first spill. The sec-ondwas due to themalfunction of the SandRiver Pump Station, which overflowed forabout four hours.Durbach says the Marina Association
“refuse(s) to take any action” to informres-idents “even though they have an electron-ic and hardcopy newsletter”.The chairperson of the Marina Associa-
tion, Bob Craske, says the Association isnot the primary point of contact for suchreports. In an email to Craske, Durbach
writes theAssociation has a duty to informresidents, saying it is an act of negligenceif it does not do so. However, Craske saysit is the City of Cape Town’s responsibilityto publish such awarning and adds it is notwithin the Association’s mandate to do so.He adds if the City asks them to publish
a warning, they will do so – as was the casewith the algal bloom last year. Craskepoints out theAssociation ismadeupofun-paid volunteers.Mashoko says both spills were “timeous-
ly treated” with abiological substance thatrapidly breaks down the solids, removingthe immediate risk of toxic algal bloomandthe food source for e. coli and similar bacte-ria. “This therefore rapidly reduces riskfor recreational users to normal risk lev-els,” he says. The results of samples takenwill only be available by Wednesday.Zandvlei Estuary Management Forum
(ZEMF) chairperson Sandra Fowkes saysZandvlei is at the end of a large catchmentandwhat finds itsway into the catchment’sseven rivers and canals ends up in the vlei.She says ZEMF has to focus on both
short-term and longer term initiatives.Fowkes says in addition to an emergencyresponse plan, the forum is working to go“beyond responding to symptoms and toestablish root causes of problems” in thevlei. She says residents can report anyproblem to the City’s call centre on0860 103 089.
Baboon groupwants answersTERESA FISCHER
SANParks has come under fire from theBaboon Matters Trust, for what it calls“unlawful actions” by its officials.
But the group has made an attempt at con-ciliation which, if successful, it says “will goa long way” to promote dispute resolutionoutside of court.Baboon Matters, a non-profit baboon con-
servation organisation, this month sent anurgent letter to SANParks, seeking to ad-dress the latter’s actions late last year relat-ed to the deaths of chacmababoonsPeter andCarpenter.Baboon Matters contends the actions of
SANPark’s officials were unlawful andstand to be reviewed by the High Court.Prior to the killing of Peter and Carpenter,
Baboon Matters’ lawyer, Mark Nixon, ur-gently requested SANParks halt the killingof baboons until such time as relevant dataand documentation had beenmade availablefor scrutiny and inputs.According to the NPO, this letter met with
no success, and Peter and Carpenter werekilled shortly thereafter.Baboon Matters says it understands SAN-
Parks killed the baboons for having previ-ously raided property on land which is notwithin their jurisdiction.Jenni Trethowan, of BaboonMatters, says
they chose the cases of Peter and Carpenterbecause “so much went wrong” when theywere killed.She adds their deaths “exemplify” why
they want the policy regarding baboons tobe re-examined.Trethowan says the “Big Momma” troop
fromWelcome Glen were left without males,after these two males were killed.According to authorities, Carpenter
joined the Da Gama splinter group in 2010and became an aggressive raider.The Baboon Technical Team (BTT) – com-
prising City of Cape Town, Cape Nature andSANParks – had believed his removal wouldencourage the females and juveniles fromhis splinter group to re-join their original DaGama main troop. This, it was said, wouldallow the two field ranger teams to work asone unit to more effectively monitor a singlelarge troop.But Trethowan says the femaleswould not
willingly go back to their original troop, asthey would lose their place in the troop’sranking system.She adds it makes more sense for males to
join their troop.Trethowan adds the two were also killed
“within weeks” of the new service providertaking over.Nixon says SANParks is the recipient of
the letter, as opposed to theBTT, because theactions of the SANPark officials “stand to bereviewed by virtue of their unlawful ac-tions”.In order to avoid a court application, how-
ever, Baboon Matters are proposing to senda letter to theMinister ofWater andEnviron-mental Affairs requesting a facilitator toconduct meetings of interested and affectedparties with the purpose of reaching agree-ment over the killing of these and other ba-boons.But the letter states SANParks must first
agree to extend the 180-day time limit, legallyavailable to the NPO, [in terms of section 9of the Promotion of Administrative JusticeAct, 3 of 2000] during which it may approachthe court for review.The 180 days began to run late last year af-
ter the first killing and is set to expire soon.SANParks spokesperson Merle Collins
confirms they have received the letter.

Here are tips on how you can stay safe indangerous situations:Be prepared for trouble by entering all therelevant telephone numbers into your cell-phone, including those of the police, securi-ty firm, relatives and neighbours.At night keep the cellphone in the bed-roomand lock the bedroomdoor. If you hearsuspicious sounds you can phone someoneimmediately.If your house has been broken into imme-diately contact your security company andthe nearest police station. Wait until finger-prints and statements are taken beforetouching anything.Unless it is absolutely necessary, do notallow private security companies to enterthe house or touch anything before the po-lice have investigated the scene.Look for strange footprints in the gardenand point them out to the police. A list of themake, model and serial numbers of electri-cal appliances and other valuable equip-ment should always be available for investi-gation purposes.You can also mark your property with aunique number.Never leave your keys in a gate or lock.Don’t leave mail left in the box as it is asign that nobody is home. Arrange withneighbours or a friend to keep a regular eyeon your property and to remove mail andnewspapers if you go away.Never leave workers unattended in yourhome.Do not leave your garage, front or backdoor open or partially open as it serves asan invitation to burglars.Do not leave valuable items near the win-dows.Store your firearms in a safe and do notlet anyone, including household employeesand children, know that you have firearmsin the house. A safe out of sight in a cup-board is a good choice. Keep cash, duplicatevehicle keys andvaluables in banks or safes.When approaching your house entranceby foot or by car ensure that it is safe to enterand that you have not been followed.Be on the lookout for persons loitering atthe entrance, vehicles stopping when youslow down or anything unusual at yourhome.Robbers have on occasions been known toimpersonate police officers.

Healthy food for thoughtTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN
You are what you eat.
For years people have been obsessed withphrases such as “healthy body, healthymind”, and it’s true, says a dietitian.
What children eat have a major impact ontheir brain. “Your brain is dependent on anormal blood sugar level, so any people orchildren with low or high blood sugar cannotconcentrate properly. Therefore it is of ut-most importance to eat regularly to help keepyour blood sugar at a normal level,” says die-titian Magdalene Pieters.
And, says Pieters, you don’t need expensiveor exclusive foods to achieve this. A healthycombination of food groups in either a mealor snack will suffice.
Brain boosting foods do not have to burna hole in your pocket, but, more importantly,she says, the best thing to do is to avoid foodsthat affect the brain negatively. Focus insteadon foods that are beneficial to the brain.
“It has nothing to do with affordability andmore to do with trying to eat natural foods,the way nature intended us to eat,” she says.
When looking at food you need to decide ifit is natural, wholesome and healthy or if itis only the nice tasting part of a natural foodlike sugar, oil, fat, cream and white refinedstarch.
A good guideline is to try and avoid foodsthat are dyed, changed or fried.
Certain foods, such as fried foods, sweets,sugar and sweetened cooldrinks, have a nega-tive impact on the brain.
“Bought fried fast foods are the worst be-cause the oil might be boiling for many hours.Trans fats replace the good essential Omega-3
fats in the brain, and may cause AttentionDeficit Disorder and mood disorders like de-pression because of a lack of Omega-3 fattyacids,” says Pieters.
“Fried fast foods are one of the reasons somany young people feel depressed thesedays.”
Sugar is digested very quickly and spikesblood sugar levels. According to Pieters, a lotof insulin must be secreted to lower the bloodsugar again.
“A child with a high blood sugar will notfeel full of energy, like most people think.They will feel drowsy and tired. If their sugardrops too low after the spike they will feelnervous, edgy and jittery. They won’t be ableto sit still, can’t concentrate and everythingaround them will draw their attention awayfrom their work,” she says.
Water with a meal that combines protein,fibre, vitamins, minerals and healthy fat isvery good at empowering the brain.
Pieters says children should be encouragedto drink water whenever they feel thirsty orhungry.
“A dehydrated body and brain cannot func-tion properly and sometimes children getoverweight because they confuse thirst withhunger and eat too much,” she says.
With the new school year having just start-ed, a good eating habit could help improve achild’s performance.
Pieters says good foods to include in yourchild’s lunch box are low GI bread (which de-creases the sugar spike), and a protein thatsuits your pocket such as meat, cheese, pea-nut butter or egg and a fruit.
“Apples are low GI fruits and travel well.Buy different types and colours,” says Pie-ters.
Breakfast is also very important to kick-start a day, says Pieters. She lists low GI toast,egg, peanut butter, low GI oats or muesli, yo-ghurt and a fruit or few raisins as good break-fast choices for children.
She adds that pilchards are excellent food.“It is packed with good Omega-3 fatty acids,
is an excellent source of protein and mineralsfrom the sea and calcium from the soft bones
in the fish. The tomato added to most tins isalso very good, filled with anti-oxidants thatprotect against many diseases,” says Pieters.
She highlights that it is also affordable andyou can stock up and keep some.
“I combine it with wholewheat pasta, on-ions and spices, then add a thin layer of grat-ed cheese on top for a lovely fast dish for thefamily,” she adds.
HEALTHY OPTIONS: The variety of choices to give your day a healthy kickstart include yogurtand fruit. Photo: Google

Best beware the big bad wolfTWO good pigs are dead.
The mutilated bodies of the brothers, bothdecorated police officers, were found in theirrespective homes on the same night in a sav-age and grizzly revenge crime. The prime sus-pect, a wolf, is still at large – and he wantsthe third little pig dead.TheThree Little Pigs is a taut psychological
thriller set in a world where Animal Farmmeets Reservoir Dogs and gives rise to a darkand unexpected take on the classic children’sstory.
The delightfully twisted collaboration fea-tures multi-award-winning artists Rob vanVuuren, James Cairns, Albert Pretorius and
Tara Notcutt.Described by critics as “dark, brilliantly
acted satire” and “a political thriller that sur-prises at every turn”, The Three Little Pigsis a riveting and subversive adaptation of anage-old tale.The Three Little Pigs premiered on the Are-
na programme at the National Arts Festivalin Grahamstown last year to rave reviewsand packed houses.The Three Little Pigs will run at the Baxter
Golden Arrow Studio until 9 February withtickets between R60 and R120 via Computick-et (0861 915 8000).

Catch-22CIVIL society places certain expectations up-on a country’s legal system.So it is expected, for instance, that people
whom the courts find guilty end up in prison.There, it is hoped, offenders will serve the
required time for having been found guilty ofwhichever crime. Perhaps it is also hopedthat they would make amends and perhapsbecome reconciliatory towards those whomthey’ve offended. Many prisoners say they’vefound religion while in prison.If prison is hoped to be a corrective facility,
what then can be said for crimes taking placein prison? Fights which broke out in Polls-moor Prison last week are reportedly as a re-sult of attempts to control illegal items whichwere being smuggled into the facility.A daily newspaper report indicates 10 in-
mateswere injured in two separate battles be-tween rival gangs. Five inmates were takento hospitals. The items in question are drugsand cellphones.While people on the “outside” may take
cellphones for granted, drugs in a prison isunderstandably a dangerous combination.Correctional Services regional commis-
sioner Delekile Klaas has reportedly told themedia they were investigating whether offi-cials could be working with inmates.Two rival gangs have are said to have been
separated,while gang leaders have been iden-tified and placed in another area.Many questions can be asked as to whether
prisons really serve a purpose. But in the ab-sence of any other recourse, correctional fa-cilities remain the only answer as to what todo with offenders and those who break thelaw. Research indicates many offenders, un-fortunately, return to prison. Some, becausethey see little way out than to survive by com-mitting crime.Others, because their attemptsat reintegration into society are foiled as a re-sult of the mark against their name.Until we’ve walked a mile in a prisoner’s
shoes, who is to know? Perhaps crime neversleeps. Not even in prison.
Call for help is quietenedI’MSHOCKEDbecause today I sawone of theFNB adverts under the heading “You canhelp”. In it, Kelly Baloyi, a 17-year-old fromSoweto, eloquently pinpoints not only the is-sues facing our nation, but also her idea fora solution.She is not calling for student boycotts, pro-
test marches or strikes. She’s not calling forburning of municipal buildings, looting ofshops or destruction of schools. She’s notcalling for barricading roads, burning tyresor the stoning of the police. She’s not singingsongs that call for a machine gun or the de-structionofwhite farmers. She is simplyask-ing for people to help each other.She says: “When you help someone, you
lift them up.When you lift them up, they canhelp other people, too.”So why am I shocked? I am shocked be-
cause FNB has bowed to pressure from theANC and the SACP and has now withdrawnthe advert. These two political parties be-lieve that this advert amounts to treason andundermines the government. This approachis reminiscent of the past apartheid govern-ment’s approach to those who opposed theirviews.No doubt FNB has realised that it needs to
heed (president) Jacob Zuma’s call, where hestated: “Business that support the ANC willprosper.”Perhaps they should rather look at some
of the statementsmade by (former president)NelsonMandela,who said: “Youwill achievemore in this world through acts of mercythan you will through acts of retribution.”ROGER WOODDiep River
Rememberwho paysMY LATE dad instilled in his chil-dren the basic principles of treatingothers as you want to be treated, al-ways greeting and always saying“thank you”.I have, in turn, taught this to my
children and grandchildren.What I and others have experi-
enced lately is the way staff at somebusinesses treat customers.When entering these shops or
businesses you are greeted by a si-lence so loud it is quite deafening.The looks and attitudes of the staffgives one the impressionyouare ac-tually trespassing.When, out of desperation, you ad-
dress these staff the reaction is thatyou have disturbed some sort of un-seen meditation.Where are the days when a val-
ued customer – the pillar on whichthe owner and staff placed their fu-ture and survival – was given redcarpet treatment? No sooner has acustomer entered a businesspremises when they were over-whelmed with customer courtesy.Every pamphlet we are sent or
every advert is a message from abusiness inviting or imploringus tograce their business and spend ourmonies on their wares.But the staff need to be trained on
how to receive and direct the invit-ed customer – whether they pur-chase or not. Those who show cus-tomer courtesy are to be thanked.A quote from Henry Ford comes
tomind: “It is not the employerwhopays the wages. Employers onlyhandle the money. It is the custom-er who pays the wages.”KEITH BLAKE
A bouquet for great serviceI RECENTLY had occasion to take my car fora little panel beating.When it was suggested to me that I take my
car to Lekkerwater Road I hastily replied “no”.On thinking it over I decided I would find outmore about the business concerned.I duly contacted Graham Ross at Southern
Panel Beaters and went to see him in the busi-ness parkwhere he conducts his business. I wasmost pleasantly surprised to find this companyand the people there all very professional andpolite.
It was an immediate decision on my part togive my business to Graham.The business park there (Pine Tree Park) cer-
tainly impressed me.The work carried out on my car by Graham
was great. Not onlywas he efficient, but prompt,business-like and courteous.Thankyou,Graham. I amnowconfident there

Parking planwould helpON A RECENT Saturday, my wife,daughter and I decided to a spend ahour or two at the beach surfing.Needless to say parking was at a pre-mium. The only parking availablewas at the bottom circle near the pa-vilion. We were greeted by a youngwoman who directed us to a parkingarea on a yellow line. This area is asmall dead-end road that leads to theback of the pavilion.
When I questioned the possibility ofa fine she assured me she was aformer Beach Buddy, (another con-tentious matter) and she could guar-antee me that we would not be fined.
On our return, only two vehicleswere fined who, out of desperation,had parked on a cobbled island. In noway were they creating an obstruc-tion. Each received a R300 fine.
Muizenberg is a huge drawcard forvisitors and locals, and instead of LawEnforcement working with Tourismby suggesting these areas be reallo-cated as parking bays, they issue tick-ets turning a lovely day at the sea intojust another bad day in South Africa.
Cars parked in the bottom sectionwere parked in an orderly fashion, al-beit illegally on yellow lines. One ve-hicle was parked on a yellow grid in-dicating a fire hydrant and none ofthose cars received a ticket.
So what gives? Selective ticketing.The (people) who decide on where yel-low lines should be should think:“Hello! This is a recreational area. Letus make some changes that will makeit easier for people to enjoy them-selves. Let us put parking bays on thewide pavements where there is no pe-destrian traffic.” A good example isBoyes Drive where the parking baysare half on and half off the pavement.MAX RENNIEMuizenbergCouncillor Brett Herron, MaycoMember for Transport, Roads andStormwater, responds: The smalldead-end road that leads to the backof the pavilion, in which Mr Rennieparked, is in fact a loading area for thepavilion itself. A loading bay ismarked adjacent the building and theremainder of the road within theturning circle is marked with yellowlines to permit larger delivery vehi-cles unobstructed passage into andout of the loading area. The loadingarea may not have been in use at thetime of Mr Rennie’s visit, but had itbeenneeded, thosevehicles parkedontheyellow lineswouldhavepresenteda problem.
The 15 parking bays were markedstraddling the Boyes Drive roadwayand sidewalk at the start of the EchoValley mountain trail because no oth-er safe parking could be provided.These bays were marked only after itwas determined that the remainingsidewalk was adequate to cater forother pedestrian movement along theroad. Similar action is not recom-mended on the Muizenberg beach-front promenade where as muchspace as possible should be providedfor pedestrian movement if the beach-front is to remain an attractive amen-ity. Provision for cycling, similar tothat on the Mouille Point and SeaPoint promenades, would further en-hance the attractiveness of the areaand the space available to do thisshould not be surrendered to motorvehicle parking.Wayne le Roux, Acting Execu-
tive Director of Safety and Securi-ty, responds: Different agenciesfrom the City of Cape Town such asMetro Police, Traffic and Law En-forcement from various stations andunits work in Muizenberg during theseason. The City’s Metro Police andLaw Enforcement staff checked theirrecords for Saturday 6 January andno fines were issued in the said area.The area mentioned in the letter is aproblem area as vehicles that parkthere cause obstruction to pedestriantraffic.

ATOTAL of 75 paddlers were tested to ca-pacity as they set off fromSeaforthBeach,Simon’s Town, in the Best4 Surfski raceon Sunday.
They had to negotiate tricky rocks, reefsand kelp, and into the wind and swell for thefirst lap of the 12km race. Constant concentra-tion was required to navigate the upwind sec-tion to the first turn mark as a wrong routingcould quickly result in a swim over a shallowreef, as a few paddlers found out. The down-wind section was fast paced and it was herethat experience and some risk taking helpedmake up a few positions.
The nine races in the season’s Best4 SurfskiSeries have been characterised by a qualityfield of women paddlers.
Sunday’s race was no different with 20women taking to the water to race.
It was extremely close racing in the frontend with Donia Kamstra narrowly edging outKim van Gysen mere metres before the line.Right behind them was Bianca Beavitt who
was not giving the women behind or aheadof her any quarter to rest.
The top three women were separated by on-ly 30 seconds.
The men’s race was equally exciting. Earlyon it seemed that Tom Schilperoort hadsealed yet another victory, but junior paddlerKenny Rice reeled him on the second lap andthey were soon joined by Simon van Gysen.The race was on again.
Schilperoort, however, skillfully pulled on-to a few successive swells leaving Kenny tobattle Van Gysen for second place. In the endRice took the second place and Van Gysenthird.
The last race and prizegiving in the Best4Summer Surfski Series will be on Sunday 3February at Clifton 4th beach at 9:00.
Amateurs, novices and Stand Up Paddlersare invited to paddle with three of the world’stop five surfskiers including Van Gysen (Eu-ro Championship title holder) and currentworld champion Dawid Mocke and currentSA Woman’s Champion Nikki Mocke.
The Epic Kayaks Glen McGregor Finale, asthe race is known, is the final race in a seriesof 10 races that saw enthusiasts enjoyingsome of the best paddling at Cape Town’s fin-est beaches. The course is a two-lap routearound Fisherman’s and Barker’s Rocks(weather dependent) with the day’s proceed-ings and series prizegiving happening at theClifton Lifesaving Club.
Cape Town series coordinator Nikki Mockesays: “The series has been a phenomenal suc-cess. It’s not just for the professionals. It’s agreat way for anyone to get fit while havingfun on our beautiful beaches across the Pe-ninsula. We run the series to be able to enjoyCape Town’s glorious summer days. Surfskiand ocean paddling is an adventure-drivensport and it’s all about getting out into theocean wherever and whenever you can.”
Race day entries can be done at 8:00 on theday for those wanting to “pitch and paddle”.For entry fees and more information visitwww.surfski.co.za, www.paddlingcen-tre.com or call (021) 782 4311.

rica their first penalty corner and Coetzee ri-fled a flat astro-burner into the bottom of thebackboard.Six minutes later it was Shelley Russell’s

Peninsula set their sights on promotionLIAM MOSES
PENINSULARFCwill be gunning for promo-tion when the 2013 Western Province clubrugby season kicks off in April.The Lakeside team currently languish in
Division Three – the seventh tier in the ninedivisions of CapeTown rugby – but their new-ly appointed head coach believes smallchanges could see the club climb to a higherleague.CreightonBentley,whowas elected ashead
coach in October, believes the secret to turn-ing the club around is attracting local playerswho chose to play their rugby outside of thearea.“I can’t see why we shouldn’t pull players
from this region instead of players having totravel to other clubs, when we can build a
club that can play in the Super League in fiveyears. We have the right ingredients,” saysBentley.“There are definitely a lot of players in this
area, but at present they prefer to get in theircars and travel other clubs.”Peninsula RFC was formed in 1976, when
two Kalk Bay clubs, Marines and Excelsior,amalgamated. The club played at City ParkinAthlone andwasmade up of only Colouredplayers during apartheid and, Bentley says,the team has struggled to attract white play-ers since the dawn of democracy and theirmove to Lakeside.CurrentlyPeninsula drawsmost of its play-
ers from Lavender Hill, Steenberg and theranks of the South African Navy, with veryfew coming from the more affluent areas inits immediate vicinity.
The club came close to losing their Divi-sion Three status last year, finishing eighth,just above the relegation zone, in the 10-teamleague.Bentley attributes their poor performance
to a lack of funds and appeals to companiesin the area for support.“A lot of the players come from disadvan-
taged areas. They come from areas wheregangsterism, violence and drugs are rife,” hesays.“If we can have some sort of sponsorship,
we cannot only feed them before games, wecould possibly give them something to takehome as well. I believe Peninsula can makea difference in these people’s lives with thehelp of a company and sponsorship.”Bentley hopes to attract players from the
Far South, aswell as across the southern sub-urbs. Anyone interested in joining or assist-ing Peninsula RFC can contact Bentley on084 7011 361.
