Carcass: beaches shutNURENE JASSIEMMARCUS
THE carcass of the Southern RightWhalewhichwashedupnearCapricornBeachatthe weekend has been removed from thearea.
The removal, which lasted some 18 hours,was a joint effort by various departmentswithin the City of Cape Town and the provin-cial Department of Environmental Affairs.
Cape Town Disaster Risk Managementspokesperson Wilfred Solomons-Johannessays the whale was bitten several times bygreat white sharks, covering the bay in bloodand blubber which could attract more sharksto the area.
Authorities had to wait for the tide to washin so that the carcass could become buoyantand be removed by the City’s Solid Waste De-
partment. Authorities spotted the 30m-longwhale about 3km offshore past Sunrise Circlenear Capricorn beach on Sunday.
The presence of the carcass led to an in-crease in predator-fish activity in the areaand the City closed False Bay beaches as aprecautionary measure.
“At this stage it is unclear whether thewhale was alive when the sharks attacked itor whether it died as a result of illness,” saysSolomons-Johannes.
Scientists from the Department of Environ-mental Affairs have taken samples of the car-cass to perform an autopsy.
The carcass was transported to the Vissers-hok landfill site for disposal.
Beaches remain closed between Muizen-berg and Monwabisi until further notice.
Sarah Titley, project manager for theShark Spotters Programme, says they will re-
view the decision to close the beaches daily.“Although the carcass has been removed,
there is still a lot of blood and blubber in thewater, which means it is almost guaranteedthat there will be sharks in the area,” Titleysays.
She cautions residents against going intothe water when they see a whale carcass.
“We had two more shark sighting thismorning (Monday) and visibility was poor –which means there could be many moresharks in the area,” Titley adds.
Meanwhile the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)says the incident should not raise alarm assharks feeding off whales are a natural occur-rence.
“Great white sharks are known to congre-gate for long periods at whale carcasses, gorg-ing themselves and almost appearing to go in-to some kind of over-satiated trance. Sharks
are apex predators so naturally they will besearching for prey,” says Eleanor Yeld-Hutchings, manager of the WWF’s People andthe Coast Programme.
She adds there is generally an increasedshark presence around whale carcasses andthe sharks are also constantly feeding.
“People should be aware of increased riskswhen there is a whale carcass, when there isblood in the water or at dusk and dawn.
“People should consider all the conditionsand factors carefully and make an informeddecision on whether to enter the water ornot,” Yeld-Hutchings adds.

Remembering a great motherRemembering a great motherDear reader,
I once again dedicate mycolumn to my beautiful, cou-rageous mother who passedaway 17 days ago after livingwith breast cancer for years.
I also dedicate this columnto all thosewhohave lost theirmothers and to every individ-ual and organisation champi-oning the fight against can-cer.
This is the most difficult piece of writ-ing I’ve had to do inmy 20-year career andI am writing every word with a brokenheart that yearns for my mother.
The day mymom died, my entire worldceased to exist and after two weeks of un-bridled grieving, my pain at losingmy be-loved mother is as intense as the day shewas diagnosed with cancer.
I am not alone in my loss as my motherleft behind a legacy of love, generosity, in-spiration and tenacity.
In our home, she advocated the impor-tance of spirituality and education.
She touched the lives of many – oftenin ways her husband and six childrenlearned of only after her death.
My mother inspired her younger sisterto work and make her own money in anera when women stayed at home. Mymother always had kind words to sayabout others, regularly sent monetarygifts to the mosque, offered a warm mealand groceries to anyone who stepped intoour home and always gave the gift of hersmile, even when she had the most excru-ciating pain.
I was blessed to have slept beside mymother the last night of her life and to re-main with her until the end.
This was painful, but I would not have
had it any other way.The day before my mother
died, many of her neighboursvisited and said prayers at herbedside.
Nearly everyone left crying.This is how my mother
touched lives. Yes, she was afiery, strong, independent,smart woman who achievedher goals and who, eventhroughout her illness, re-
mained the matriarch, giving her familyclear directives.
At the same time,mymotherwas a soft,loving, deeply-caringwife,mother, grand-mother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt,friend and neighbour.
My family and I continue to drawstrength from one another, and from thetorrent of love, support and compassionfrom relatives, friends and colleagues –for which we are very grateful.
Among the many beautiful messageswe’ve received, were these poignantwords: “My mother is the keeper of mychildhood and the historian of my life...”
The keeper of my childhood is gone;that chapter of my life has closed.
My mother was my mummy, my bestfriend, my role model, my confidante, myfan, my financial advisor, my counsellor.
She loved me in a way no other can andwill.
I have been truly blessed and honouredto have had her as my mother and willcontinue to love and cherish her and mymemories of her, forever.

Grey sludge at Simon’s TownJUANITA WILLIAMS
WHEN Nadeem Orrie spotted a kilometreof grey sludge washing out to sea, hephoned Disaster Risk Management Centreto report it. Orrie is the operational man-ager for Department of Waterworks.
“We didn’t know what it was; it lookedlike grey PVC liquid coming through fromthe drain and washing into the sea,” hesays.
“We had stopped to watch a baby sealthat was washed up on the shore, near Di-do Valley Road, Simon’s Town, when wesaw the polluted water which seemed to
come from Scratch Patch.”He phoned Scratch Patch to find out
what they had flushed down a stormwaterdrain.
Scratch Patch production manager RegFine says they were doing repairs on oneof the lower dams, and clearing out thesludge which is mainly silicone carbideleft over after they grind the stones. “Werecycle a lot of water,” he says.
Peter Flower, the City’s Acting DirectorWater and Sanitation, says the matter hadbeen resolved. “The inspector reportedthat the company collects their effluentwater in a dam where settlement takes
place and the water is then recycled for usein processing the stones.
“There was a malfunction of the pumps(which) resulted in the effluent discharg-ing to the stormwater system (and) to thesea.”
He says no visible pollution was founddownstream of the municipal stormwatersystem and outfall. “If a discharge tostormwater was taking place, the inspec-tor would issue a fine.”
None was issued, but a letter is beingprepared requesting an “action plan toprevent a recurrence of the situation”.
Report pollution to 0860 103 054.

City eatery is world classCityCity eateryeatery isis worldworld classclassTERESA FISCHER
CAPE to Cuba has done SA proud.
TheKalkBay eatery hasmade it into thesecond volume of a coffee table book fea-turing top restaurants around the world.The hardcover book Cool Restaurants,
Top of the World, is published in English,French and German. The only other Afri-can eatery to make the pages is MakaronRestaurant in Stellenbosch.This recognition came out the blue for
husband-and-wife team Bart and Deonavan Vuuren, although visitors routinelywhip out cameras to try and capture theeceletic atmosphere.Waxdrips frombrasscandlesticks, operatic chandeliers hangfrom the ceiling and sculptures jostle forspace with authentic Cuban furniture.Samuel L Jackson, Benicio del Toro and
the late Dennis Hopper are among the fa-mous names to have visited the legendaryestablishment.There is so much to admire at this Kalk
Bay venue; it is hard to imagine it wasonce an old woodwork shed.Bart had fallen in love with Cuba while
on a holiday. In 1999, the couple decidedto convert the space into a “paladar”(Spanish and Portuguese for “palate”) of-fering Cuban-style homecooking. He hasreturned with his family to savour thecountry’s character and bring back piecesfor the restaurant.He explains when communist leader Fi-
del Castro rose to power wealthy peopleleft Cuba in droves, many with just whatthey could carry.The houses of the rich were allocated at
randomso, he says, impoverished familiescould be found living in grand houses,with washing lines hanging up betweenmarble staircases and antiques. Desperatefor money, they would trade priceless art-works and furniture.In the 90s many Cuban homes were con-
verted into eateries – which was an illegalpractice.
Bart says this “grandness and rundown,peasant look”was the inspiration for theirstyle.He says before Cape to Cuba, SouthAfri-
cans didn’t know what a mojito was and
CheGuevara – a major figure of theCubanRevolution – wasn’t a well-known name.He says this recognition of a family-run
business sends a message that South Afri-cans can compete with the best.

Rockfall haltsChappies workJUANITA WILLIAMS
BOULDERS and stones tore away a sec-tion of the protective wire netting onChapman’s Peak, briefly halting con-struction.
No-one was hurt and work was soon re-sumed.Al-Ameen Kafaar, Head of Communica-
tion,WesternCapeDepartment of Transportand Public Works, says: “Geotechnical ex-perts have thoroughly inspected the dam-aged area,which is an old fracture plane thathas been exposed due to the heavy rain thathas fallen recently. Their report on the wayforward is still awaited. Repair work is un-likely to be extensive and the control build-ing presently being constructed, is in no dan-ger.”
Kafaar assures motorists routine patrolsare done daily and detailed inspections arecompleted at least every six months. “Clo-sures this year have only been precaution-ary due to poor weather conditions.”Work on the toll plaza – to cost about R54m
– is due to be completed bymid-2013, he says.The catch fences consist of interlocking
rings of high tensile wire designed to traprocks as they fall.They are anchored to the rock face with
steel wire ropes. There are 1,6kms of catchfences in different sections, these are moni-tored and the fallen rocks are removed. Riskismonitored byCCTV cameras, radar trafficdetectors and a weather station linked to op-erator consoles.These measures have reduced the risk of
rockfalls on the road by 90%, according tothe Chapman’s Peak Engineering Group.

Perlemoen thieves nabbedPOLICE officers netted a haul of 48 per-lemoen – and two suspects.The duo – 20-year-olds from Lavender
Hill – were caught walking down BeachRoad, Fish Hoek midday on Thursdaywith bags containing the perlemoen,says Warrant Officer Chris Cloete, of theFish Hoek police.Cloete says an officer stopped the two
to search their bags as theywerewalkingto the taxi rank. “Theywereprobablyact-ing as couriers and taking the perlemoento a merchant,” he says.This arrest comes fivemonths after po-
lice nabbed suspects carrying 78 perlem-oen. “The perlemoen can stay alive for acouple of days after they have beencaught, as long as they are keptwet. Theyare usually put in the freezer, de-shelled,dried out and exported formedicinal pur-
poses.”He says hundreds of randsworth of un-
dersized perlemoen are poached and soldeach year across the border. “Fish Hoekis the gateway for perlemoen which ispoached from Simon’s Town or from thereserve.”
. Hikers to Deers Cave, on Ou KaapseWeg, are warned not to leave valuablesin their cars.Thanks to an alert motorist, who
phoned Fish Hoek police, two men and ateenager, were arrested after they hadbroken into cars at the weekend. Cloetesays Kirstenhof police blocked the exitfrom Ou Kaapse Weg and arrested thethree suspects with stolen property.He says the men, who are wanted for
armed robbery and house break-ins, willbe denied bail.

Truck stopIN THE early 1990s, Mitchell’s Plain was cor-doned off by minibus taxis. People weretrapped. Traffic came to a standstill. Roadsled to nowhere. Nobody could get in. Nobodycould get out. Fewwent towork.Allwere heldransom by the unified action of taxi drivers.Thosewere the dyingmoments of the strug-
gle days. People on the Cape Flats know itwell. The country burned; it was a looters’paradise; people got hurt. That was the daytaxis ruled the roads of the biggest Colouredtownship in the country.Fast-forward to the past two weeks. The ac-
tions of truck drivers nationwide now holdthe country captive. Goods are not beingtransported.If the strike by SA Transport and Allied
Workers Union (Satawu) continues, essentialservices will come to a grinding halt. Fewwould remain unaffected by this action.These concerns are already being feared.Availability of rawmaterials formanufactur-ing; goods for essential, life-saving services,like medical equipment; food; packaging. Insome small way – or another – each personwill feel the effects of the truck drivers’ strikeas they hold out for their pay hike demands.The strike is reported to cost the transport
industry R1bn in revenue each week.In the Cape, three people, a child among
them, were hurt and three trucks were setalight. Satawu denies involvement in vio-lence, but has reportedly called on rail andport workers for support of a secondarystrike.It will cripple the country. Somemay be re-
minded of the days when people were encour-aged to hoard baked beans – then in anticipa-tion of the “swart gevaar”, now because theresimply may be no stock to replenish storeshelves. We can build a nation only with like-minded people. Even so, everyone has theright to a fair salary.Let’s hope the strike comes to a quick con-
clusion.
Don’t touch Kommetjie intersectionI READwith interest the plans for a Kommetjieintersection “upgrade” (“Cutting down on con-gestion”, People’s Post, 2 October).I am going to say something quite controver-
sial:leave the intersection just as it is. Increasing
the size of the “artery” to feed the urban sprawl“cancer” in outlying areas such as Kommetjiewill only work for a short while.Making traffic flow temporarily easier for
long distance commuterswill simply encouragemore to settle on the urban fringes and drivelong distances to work. The situation will beback where it started in a year or two.We need to think of other solutions (and) real
causes; not just “stick tape over a blinkingwarning light”.People need tomake it a priority to live closer
to their work to avoid a scenario such as in LosAngeles and other American towns. Here, inmany cases roughly two-thirds of the urban ar-ea consists of land use devoted entirely to facili-tating the use of the motor car: roads, parkinglots, service stations and motor car shops; andall its attendant frustrations, costs, accidents,time wastage and environmental impact.What do the paved areas do for water runoff?There is little absorption of heavy rainfall in
paved areas and roads which increases the run-off into rivers enormously. Yet, many see in-creased flooding in andnear our cities as a prod-uct of “climate change”. Nonsense!The effective rainfall can increase two- or
threefold in or near an urban area, because ofpaved areas replacing what were once natural“sponges”, such as grassland or fynbos.Howmany productive hours a day are wasted
during long-distance commuting? What is theimpact of exhaust fumes from idling vehicles intraffic jams? What is the cost of accidents androad repairs to our local economy?One can go on and on!No. Think local, work local, buy local, live lo-
cal.Else move nearer to work and reduce the
enormous impact long-distance commuting hason our natural, built and living environment.Avoidmore urban sprawl and “development”
projects in the southern Peninsula.Leave the natural “limiter” of the intersec-
tion in place, please. Lifestyle changes will hap-pen naturally when the long-distance commut-ers become frustrated enough to sit down andreally analyse the effects of long-distance com-muting on their lives and everyone else’s!BRUCE CLEMENCE

Let valuations work for youA PROFESSIONAL valuationon your property will answerthe first question about sellingyour home: How much is myhome worth? Having an expertoffer their opinion on yourhomes’ value and doing somefield research will make all thedifference to the time yourhouse stays on the market. Tomake sure you put up the “sold”sign in no time at all, read on forsome relief.
What determines the value of myproperty?Industry experts agree that
what determines the value of yourhome is not how much you paid
for it or how much money you’vespent on home improvementsover the years.The single most important fac-
tor in determining the value ofyour home, is that your home isonly worth what buyers are will-ing to pay for it, given currentmarket conditions. That, andwhether or not the bank agrees tothe finance of the mortgage. Whataffects the buyer’s decision iswhat similar houses are beingsold for, in similar neighbour-hoods. It is for this reason, that it
is very important to price yourhome competitively. To do thisyou will need to do research andarm yourself with relevant infor-mation.Get an agents opinionAn experienced estate agent is a
good first port-of-call. You willwant the agent to give you threedifferent price options. First, askfor the highest price estimate theagent can give you given the cur-rentmarket situation, your neigh-bourhood and condition of yourhome. Second, ask for theprice the
agentwould put your house on themarket for. The third price esti-mate to get is, what the agent be-lieves will be your eventual sell-ing price; this is the sale price inthe agent’s experienced opinionyou’re likely to get. Be wary ofagents overpricing to win yourbusiness or underpricing to makeaquick sale.Make sure the agent’sopinion is based on and takes intoaccount houses comparable toyours. They must base their esti-mates on comparable houses soldin your area within the last three
months and there must be com-parisons to draw from.Go onlineThepower of the internetmeans
you have a plethora of informa-tion at your fingertips. Browseproperties for sale to view compa-rables in your neighbourhood. Inyour search you are looking atwhat property similar to yoursand what similar homes to yoursare selling for currently.With a combined total of over 40
years of experience, feel free tocontact Inge, DawnorGlenn at theEngel & Volkers Fish Hoek officeon (021) 782 0006 for any property-related enquiries or an obligation-free valuation.

Elation at Masiphumelele promotionLIAM MOSES
ONE of the most recently-formed rugbyclubs in Cape Town have won promotionfor the second consecutive year after fin-ishing second in their league.
Masiphumelele Rugby Club, which wasformed in 2009 and has only been competingin structuredWesternProvinceRugbyUnioncompetitions since 2010, has won promotionto Division Two.The club was started after the Goodsport
Trust, a community sport organisation, rec-ognised the need for a club in the Far Southand entered a partnership with a group of so-cial players who were playing under theclub’s current name.All 15 of the original players were from
Masiphumelele, but the club has since grownto include players of all races and back-
grounds from across the Far South.DarrenClarke, CEO of theGoodsport Trust
and director of club, says it has become a ve-hicle to achieve several goals.“There are many challenges when you
bring together people from different commu-nities. We have our club ethos which under-pins what we believe as players and makesit clear what is expected,” says Clarke.“It is placed on the wall of our clubhouse
and is written in Xhosa, English and Afri-kaans. It is about understanding each other’scultures, accepting people for who they areand developing great people through sport.“Sport has the ability to teach us many life
skills about personal discipline, self-motiva-tion and having the determination to succeed– not just on the field, but more importantlyoff the field.”This season Masiphumelele RFC fielded
three senior sides, with the third and second
teams finishing on top of their logs and thefirst team finishing second behind Caledoni-an Roses and earning promotion.The senior side played 18 games this sea-
son, winning 14 and losing four. In two ofthose losses, Masi were defeated by only twopoints.The team is captained by Sandile India, a
former professional player who learned histrade in the Eastern Cape before honing hisskills in the Free State with the Griffons Cur-rie Cup team.India, 32, spent most of this season on the
sidelines due to injury, but says he was justas anxious as his team mates during the lastgames of the season as possible promotion be-came a reality.“This year I have been injured often. I only
played only six games and I came back in thelast game of the season,” says India.“I have been playing rugby for a very long
timeandwinningpromotionwas the bestmo-ment I have ever experienced. That week wewerepreparing for the last game, I haveneverbeen so nervous in my rugby career. Every-one was nervous, but we were focused andpushing for that goal.”Goodsport runs around 45 rugby teams at
schools across the South Peninsula, who playagainst each other in the week. A youth teamis selected from that pool of players to repre-sent Masi in club games.Clarke hopes this strong youth foundation
will see the club grow and improve until theyare playing in the Super League A, the topleague in Cape Town, and producing playersfor the professional ranks.Goodsport alsohelps its players by training
them as physical educators and sport coach-es, and then employing them as coaches atsome schools where they run programmes.Call (021) 782 2254.
