SO CLOSE: Surfers from all over Cape Town tried to break the Guinness World Record for the most surfers riding the same wave (110) but only managed to gather 93 participantsat the Earthwave Beach Festival at Muizenberg Beach at the weekend. Despite ideal offshore winds and gentle, rolling half­metre waves, the unseasonable rain reduced the field fromlast year’s record 443 participants to 228. The two­day event included stop number three of five in the SA Longboard Series and the first course racing events at Muizenberg in therapidly growing stand­up paddleboarding (SUP) discipline. Noordhoek local Justin Bing won the longboarding open division ahead of Michael Grendon, Alfonso Peters and Dylan McLeodfrom Port Elizabeth. Tarryn Kyte won the women’s division, Muizenberg’s Papi Makanyane took the juniors, Deon Bing the over­35s and Gary van Rooyen the over­50s. Photo: Maria Wagener

DALEEN LOUW

AN UNUSED mining facili-ty is earmarked to be-come an events venue as

part of an upmarket wine estateplanned for the slopes of Chap-man’s Peak in Noordhoek.

The proposed Chapman’s PeakEstate, off Chapman’s Peak Drive,is awaiting the provincial govern-ment’s record of decision (ROD).

The rezoning application for theevents venue is now open for publicparticipation.

The proposed estate comprises 28residential units, a restaurant, awine retail outlet and the functionvenue on the 28ha site.

But Rory Sales, the chairpersonof the Noordhoek Conservancy,says he is opposed to the idea of arestaurant on the scenic drive.

He says he is “wary” of any busi-ness developments along a tourist

route because it could easily spiralout of control.

Sybrand van der Spuy, the ownerof Cape Point Vineyards, who isproposing the development, saysthe site on Chapman’s Peak Drivewas originally a kaolin mine whichhad reached the end of its life-span.He says he will sell off the erven andthe land owners will build theirown homes according to styleguidelines.

The estate is planned for an up-market buyer. One erf could cost be-tween R4 million and R10 m. Theresidential erven will be situatedbetween vineyards and will rangein size between 4 000m² and 7 000m².

Van Der Spuy says he decided todevelop an upmarket residential es-tate to fit in with Cape Point Vine-yards. “The property has amazingviews over the Noordhoek amphi-theatre and the Atlantic Ocean,” hesays. The proposed development isabout 1km from the Cape Point

Vineyards estate in Noordhoek.Councillor Felicity Purchase

says she has no objections to the de-velopment and that “it is quite anice proposal”. She says the councilis awaiting the outcome of the pub-lic participation process for thefunction venue.

Sales says that while the Noord-hoek Conservancy is opposed to therestaurant – because it will be situ-ated adjacent to the road and there-fore set a visible example of poten-tial developments – the conservan-cy is not against the function venuesince it will be located within thekaolin mine, which he describes asan “underground cabin”.

“We do not want a ribbon devel-opment of businesses along thistourist route, like Hout Bay,” hesays.

He says that if the restaurant andthe retail wine outlet are the onlybusinesses, “it will not be the endof the world”. However, he fears the

possibility of more businesses set-ting up shop along the tourist route.

Sales says the Noordhoek Con-servancy objected to the proposedrestaurant during the public partic-ipation process on the basis of itsvisual impact and possible increasein commercial use.

But Sales says he cannot see howthe function venue will have anynegative impact on Noordhoek resi-dents. He says there are other con-cerns around the development,such as its impact on the stormwa-ter system, but that they are beingaddressed by the engineers work-ing on the project. “All we can dois make the engineers aware of ourconcerns so they can addressthem.”

Glenn Ashton, who chairs theNoordhoek Environmental ActionGroup (NEAG), says that since thefunction venue is “out of sight” andwill be situated within an existingfacility, NEAG has no objections.

But he agrees with Sales on theproposed restaurant and says he isworried about its visual impact.

Ashton is also concerned aboutan increase in traffic on Noordhoekroads as a result of the proposedhousing estate.

Quick reaction foilsarmed robberyDALEEN LOUW

LIGHTNING reflexes savedthedaywhenAJBowes (35)was held up in his parents’jewellery shop in Simon’sTown last week.

George Bowes, the owner ofSt Georges Jewellery Shop,says his son stared down thebarrel of a gun but his quickthinking prevented four sus-pects from robbing the storeon Friday just after 09:00.

George says he had just leftfor the bank when four menin their early 20s entered theshop and asked his son if theycould look at men’s rings. AJtook them to the showcase atthe front of the shop andshowed them one ring at atime.

He says three of the menwere facing him while thefourth slipped in next to himand pointed a gun at his head.AJ threw his head back, “out

of the gun’s fire range”, andgrabbed it. He then threw thesuspect into the display cabi-net.

George says that he wasabout to enter the shop whenthe four suspects and his sonran out. He grabbed the firstsuspect to come out of theshop, while the other three,including the one with thegun, ran away.

He says his son helped pindown the suspect, who waskicking and screaming. “Ittook both of us to pin himdown.”

A bystander helped holdhim down while they waitedfor the police.

George says they are “verypleased” with the police’squick response. “They werethere in three minutes.”

The four suspects “smelledlike fire” and looked “dodgy”,which made AJ suspicious.He says that “luckily” thebank was closed so he re-

turned to the shop at just theright time.

George says that if his sonhad not reacted quickly, hecould have been killed. AJ“summed up” the situationand acted because he knew hecould get out of the shop, hesays.

“They don’t expect anyoneto act like that,” says George.

He says AJ has always hadquick reflexes and adds thathe is very proud of his son. Hedescribes him as brave andintelligent.

“He will not back down.”George says he and his wife

had previously been held upat gunpoint and tied up forthree hours in their home.

“Maybe I am more aggres-sive in threatening situationsbecause of that incident,”says George.

The Simon’s Town policewould not comment, saying apress release would be issuedtoday (Tuesday).

Only one way through Kalk BayTHE suggested one-way sys-tem as an alternative for thecurrent “stop and go” systemduring the upgrade on MainRoad, Kalk Bay, will be im-plemented from Monday 4October.

The City of Cape Town ad-vertised the one-way systemlast week, stating that MainRoad between Clairvaux andSt James roads will be tempo-rarily closed to northboundtraffic – from Kalk Bay to StJames.

The advertisement statesthat the one-way traffic flowsystem will be in effect until30 October 2012.

Northbound traffic will bedeviated via Clairvaux Roadand Boyes Drive, whereassouthbound traffic from StJames towards Fish Hoekwill be accommodated on asingle lane on Main Road andwill not be affected.

Councillor Demetri Quallysays the “one major reason”for implementing the one-

way system is to speed up theconstruction on Main Road.

It is expected to reduce con-struction time from threeyears to two.

Qually says the Main Roadupgrade is a big disruption tobusiness owners in Kalk Baywhichneeds tobeminimised.

He says this will improvethe flow of traffic through Ka-lk Bay, and although it mightbe inconvenient for somepeople travelling from FishHoek to Muizenberg, it willreduce the construction timesignificantly.

Qually says council will bemonitoring the system“closely” to make necessaryadjustments, but adds that“in theory” the systemworks.

The proposal to make MainRoad a one-way was suggest-ed by members of the KalkBay and St James communi-ties during a meeting to dis-cuss the Main Road up-grades.

Licence testingcentre opensJARRED MANASSE

ALDERMAN JP Smith, themayoral committee memberfor safety and security, offi-cially opened the R2.4 millionFish Hoek Driver’s LicenceTesting Centre on Wednesdayat the Fish Hoek Civic Centre.

The need for the centre wasidentified as far back as 2001, af-ter the national Department ofTransport found that the testingcentre was not compliant withthe minimum requirements ofthe Road Traffic Act and recom-mended its closure.

The new testing centre was of-ficially approved by the provin-cial and national transport de-partments in August and was is-sued with a registrationcertificate.

Smith said it would help thecommunity of Fish Hoek as awhole. “Making these servicesavailable locally brings themcloser to the people. The closesttesting centre for the area wasHillstar and this is quite a dis-tance away.”

Smith said projects like thiseased the backlog of licence ap-pointments drastically.

“There was a time where peo-ple used to say that it took longerto get your license than to havea baby, and this was true. We hada major backlog. With the imple-

mentation of five new licencetesting centres during the lastfive years one can now have awaiting period of one to twomonths,” he said.

Smith also stressed the impor-tance of having a licence.

“Almost every job requiresyou to have a driver’s licence.Without one you will struggle toget a job.”

The testing centre will serveSimon’s Town, Glencairn, FishHoek, Ocean View, Noordhoek,Kommetjie, Scarborough, Clov-elly, Kalk Bay, St James, Muizen-berg, Retreat, Steenberg, Steen-berg Estate, Tokai and LavenderHill. The new centre will provideappointments for learner driv-er’s license tests and practicaldriver’s license tests (light motorvehicle only), applications forparking discs for disabled per-sons, applications for profession-al driving permits, applicationsfor the exchange or conversion offoreign driver’s licenses and ap-plications for driver’s licensecard renewals.

The learner driver’s licensetesting facility will accommo-date a maximum of 15 applicantsper sitting.

One learner’s class will be in-troduced daily, starting fromMonday 4 October, and a weeklater practical driver’s licensecompetency tests will com-mence.

Licence to thrillWITH the new Fish Hoek Driver’s Licence Testing Centre finallyopen, People’s Post asked Fish Hoek residents how they felt about thechanges.

RELIEF: Keanu Martin (15) is real­ly chuffed that there is finally atesting centre in Fish Hoek. “It’sabout time. I’m glad the cityopened a testing centre in FishHoek.”

NEW DRIVE: Emmanuel Mukuna(15) says he can now get hislearner’s licence faster. “At leastnow I have motivation to get mylearners.”

CONVENIENT: Johnson Mao (16)says it will make everyone’s livesmuch easier. “People can now getlicences easier. It sounds likesuch an effort and we all know theimportance of having one.”

CLOSER: Emmanuel Conradie(15) says at least people no long­er have to travel far. “Fish Hoekpeople have always travelled farto get their licences. Now it’scloser to home and more conven­ient.” Photos: Jarred Manasse

Time stands still atFish Hoek beachDALEEN LOUW

IT HAS been half past six at Fish Hoekbeach for more than a year.

That’s because the clock on the Galley Res-taurant building has still not been fixed, saysGwen Rea, an early morning swimmer.

She says the restaurant, which hires thebuilding fromtheCity ofCapeTown,has askedcouncil to fix it several times, but nothing hasbeen done.

Rea says the broken clock reflects poorly onFish Hoek.

“People are always laughing at it.”She says the council used to have a sign up

at the ablution blocks behind the building “along time ago” stating that the clock would befixed in five working days.

She says she visits Fish Hoek beach everyday and it would be nice to note the time ofsunrise or the time “undesirables” are seenthere.

“We cannot take watches or cellphones tothe beach because these have been swiped inthe past.”

Megan King, the city’s area manager forsport, recreation and amenities, says the cityis aware that the clock is not working and islooking for a contractor to repair it.

“Unfortunately we have not been successfulthus far because all the contractors we havecontacted do not work on that type of clock.”

King says that because the clock is sea-fac-ing it is exposed to all the elements.

“Thus corrosion is the biggest problem.”Herbie Eichel, the owner of the restaurant,

says the clock was donated to council by thewomen of Fish Hoek in 1952.

He says the clock is “ancient” and needs a“specialist” to fix it, but he has searched invain for such a person.

Eichel says he is even prepared to pay forthe repairs if the price is “reasonable”.

It is about more than just fixing a clock, hesays. It’s about the history and the people ofFish Hoek.

It is important that the clock works becauseno-one takes a watch to the beach, he adds.

Eichel says the clock has been repairedmany times, but the person who used to main-tain it has retired. Besides, he does not knowthe person’s name.

Eichel appeals to people to come forward ifthey know of a clock maker who can help.

New owners for Green Parrot PlaceDALEEN LOUW

GREEN Parrot Place, a well-known namein Fish Hoek and a prominent buildingon Main Road, has been sold.

It was auctioned by the Claremart Auc-tion Group at the Mount Nelson Hotel on31 August.

Claremart chief executive JonathanSmiedt says about 400 people attended theauction. There was “a lot” of interest inthe building and five people offered bids.Smiedt could not disclose who the newowners of the building are, but says thatthey plan on renovating the building.

He says the building was sold for“about” R7 million.

Tony Correia says he decided to sell thebuilding because he is “getting old”.

He says he is originally from the Portu-guese island of Madeira and has a familyproperty there which now needs atten-tion. He also recently moved to Noord-hoek where he plans to rear horses withhis daughter, while he has many hobbies,such as woodwork, that he would like totake up again. Correia, who has lived inFish Hoek most of his life, has many fondmemories of the building.

He says he was looking to buy a shop

in 1960 when he saw the Green Parrot tearoom on Main Road. He liked it immedi-ately because of its position, and ap-proached the owner with an offer. But theasking price was far too high and he trav-elled the country in search of a shop.

In the end, though, he returned to FishHoek and bought the shop, which camewith a real green parrot. The bird, whichCorreia says he inherited from the previ-ous owner, lived to the age of 83.

After a few years running the tea room,he says the owners of the buildingplanned to renovate and doubled the rent.“I could not afford it so I asked the ownersif they wanted to sell the building.”

Correia says he had to source the capi-tal but that it was a risk that paid off.

He bought the building on auction in1980 and changed the name of the build-ing to Green Parrot Place.

Correia sold the tea room in 1985, a yearafter his wife had brain surgery, and fo-cused on running the building.

He says he has made a lot of friends inFish Hoek – “It is a friendly town” – andthat he is sad to leave Green Parrot Place.

“I have good relationships with my ten-ants and have kept them well informedof the process.”

Well­known Simon’s Townresident will be missedJARRED MANASSE

FROGGY FARM resident andscreenprinting mogul CharlesBates passed away on Monday 20September.

His business, Bates Screenprintingand Litho in Paarden Eiland, was wellknown.

He was laid to rest on Saturday 25September from the St Francis Churchin Simon’s Town, when friends andfamily said farewell to a man who hadlived his life to the fullest.

The funeral was attended by anumber of serving and retired navalflag officers, including four vice-admi-rals and the current Chief of the Navy,Johannes Mudimu, and two predeces-sors.

Born in Simon’s Town on Friday 17August 1945, Bates fell in love with thesea from the word go.

He came from the Hugo family, oneof the oldest in Simon’s Town, and wasbrought up in Simon’s Town where helearned his trade and became a SeaScout.

In 1964 he happily did his nationalservice training in the South AfricanNavy.

On completion he joined the CitizenForce and eventually became chief pet-ty officer.

He opened his own silkscreen busi-ness, initially producing T-shirts andsimilar products, and went on to be-come one of Simon’s Town’s most suc-cessful businessmen.

He landed major advertising postercontracts with big companies, includ-ingmajornational chain stores suchasWoolworths.

However, Bates’s love for the sea re-mained a major part of his life, alongwith his love for Simon’s Town and thenavy.

He owned a house in Cowes on theIsle of White in England where hespent a few months every year, and en-joyed sailing.

He was always a great benefactor tothe navy and supported its causes. Heeven bought a minesweeper, the SASPretoria, from the navy, which he keptin its original state in Hout Bay for anumber of years. He let the Sea Cadetsuse it for training.

Bates was a founder member andvice-president of the Naval HeritageTrust as well as an Honorary Gentle-man Member of the Naval Officers’ As-sociation of Southern Africa.
