There are hopes that a buyer for a dere-lict glass factory in Simon’s Town maybe found. That is if red tape preventing

the sale of the property can be cut.The Simon’s Town Museum has been try-ing to sell the property for almost a decade,says Commander Eddie Wesselo.He confirmed there had been a potentialbuyer, but was not sure if the buyer was stillinterested.However, before any property can be re-moved from the Museum’s care, consentmust be given by the provincial govern-ment.

Drive-by art celebrates Cape prideASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A Hout Bay resident has gone the extramile to elevate people to let them, for a

moment, feel some magic and wonder forour world.And he has done this by “lighting up” the

“dark, eerie” Rhodes Drive.Bryan Little, a filmmaker and director at

Fly on the Wall art collective, used reflectortape and signage he designed to entertainmotorists.The initiative, called Endemic, is aimed to

inspire people to think about our naturalheritage and recognise the wonder in theworld again.“Endemic in conservation biology means

the animals and plants found here are foundnowhere else in the world; they are uniqueto the Western Cape and the fynbos biome.The truth is that in the fynbosplantkingdomwe have some of the richest biodiversity inthe world,” he says.

Glow in the darkLittle says the idea came from frequently

travelling on Rhodes Drive towards hishome in Hout Bay. He wanted to give some-thing back to the “dark, eerie” road for allthe inspiration it has given him.Little says the reflector tape idea came

about almost by accident, as hewas thinkingabout how to interact with cars. He startedthinking about signage and noticed thatsome signs glow in the dark.“I tracked down the tape and when taking

a photo of it in the hardware shop, I had theflash on by mistake and the tape literallypopped with light. I knew then I was on tosomething,” he says.Little loves the fact that the reflector tape

requires light towork and that it is normallyused as a warning signal. Our natural heri-

tage is our most valuable resource, so weneed to start listening to the warning signs,he feels.As far as he knows, this is the first time

that something like his project has beendone.“I have looked extensively on the internet

and found nothing like it in the world,” hesays. Asked why he chose Rhodes Drive spe-cifically, he says it is an interesting stretchof road: “It’s very special that we can havea road that feels so remote and wild right inthe middle of a major city.“On the one side we have Table Mountain

National Park and on the other suburbia. Itis also a contentious space in terms of con-servation, with the mandate of the NationalPark to remove all alien trees being chal-

lenged by peoplewho feel that the shade pro-vided and the inherent beauty of the treesmake them immune to the call for biodiver-sity,” he says.Little says the Cape Peninsula alone sup-

ports 2200 species,more than the entireUnit-ed Kingdom. Although fynbos comprises on-ly 6% of southern African land, it containshalf the plant species of the subcontinentand represents almost 20% of all Africanplant species.He started the Endemic project with the

picture of a single owl mounted against atree in 2013, to test the durability and viabili-ty of the idea. Then in September last yearhe placed seven more creatures to see whatthe response would be and whether peoplewould remove the pieces.

“I was verymethodical about the differenttesting phases because, as a filmmaker, I amexploring new ways of telling stories andthis project is my first foray into what I call‘future film’. As such, I am trying to exploreand reinvent specific elements of filmmak-ing,” he says.Little deliberately kept it simple and only

played with certain elements so that by re-moving the cameraandplacing the audienceinto the experience he made it site-specific– “You have to be there and let the car’s mo-tion be the element of time and narrative.”“Iworked closelywith sound artist Sylvan

Aztok (Simon Kohler), in order to positionand geotag the different species and scenes.It was a delicate balancing act, creating dif-ferent environments and timing the speed ofthe car with sound elements,” he says.The project will exist until the species dis-

appear or until the signs are removed fromthe sites for whatever reason.This is something thathehasbuilt into the

project on purpose. “People get really upsetwhen the creatures ‘go missing’, myself in-cluded, and I feel that it is appropriate thatpeople feel that loss. It makes the idea of spe-cies extinction a little less abstract,” he says.“The fact that someone can feel sadness,

anger, even frustration over something aselusive as say, a Table Mountain ghost frog,means that I feel I have succeeded, as manyof these endemic species are endangered andsome critically endangered. The geometrictortoise, for example, only has a few hun-dred left in the world,” he says.Little has been asked to do something sim-

ilar in India and Reunion and has been ap-proached by the Endangered Wildlife Trustto expand theEndemic initiative into anoffi-cial project for them, which Little finds veryexciting.“I would love for it to grow and perhaps

have a life of its own,” he adds.

The largest butterfly on Table Mountain, the mountain pride butterfly (Aeropetes tulbaghia)has a wingspan of 80mm.

FISH HOEK

Beach complaintsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Graffiti, rotting signs, derelict infrastruc-ture and anti-social behaviour.These are some of the complaints lodged

by Fish Hoek ratepayers over the state ofJager Walk and surrounding beach.Now a site visit is set to take place this

week to address issues at Fish Hoek beach.The entire beach area needs upkeep, but

the state of JagerWalk has prompted the or-ganisation to call for the site meeting withcouncil officials, explains chairperson Al-len Rose-Innes.“We requested a site inspection to view

and discuss themany issueswith the gradu-al deterioration of JagerWalk and the beach– signs rotting, areas and gardens needingupgrading and so on,” he says.“Graffiti is a big problem. We have previ-

ously had success in getting graffiti re-moved promptly, but this has not been thecase with the latest graffiti. This is in partbecause the latest graffiti is much more dif-ficult to remove,” he says.Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Pur-

chase says vagrancy and anti-social beha-viour at the beach have also been reported.Beach management has had to resort to

painting the rocks, Rose-Innes says.Site visits were conducted by the ward

councillor and subcouncil chairpersonwiththe sport, recreation and amenities depart-ment last year and earlier this year.Each of these visits was undertaken to

highlight the areas needing attention, con-firms Belinda Walker, mayoral committeemember for community services and spe-cial projects.Fish Hoek beach is one of the more popu-

lar beaches in the city, Walker says.“The beach enjoys a high level of services

and amenities, including litter picking, lawenforcement, lifeguarding, shark spotterswith a shark exclusion net and ablutions.Although the beach receives thousands ofvisitors during the summer season, thebeach remains busy during the off-seasonwithdogwalkers, visitors to JagerWalkandthe local restaurants,” she says.The sport, recreation and amenities de-

partment has staff assigned to and stationedat Fish Hoek beach to do maintenance.“The graffiti unit of law enforcement has

been contacted to assist in the removal ofthe existing graffiti along Jager Walk. Therecent rainy weather has, however, ham-pered efforts to remove it as the chemicalswash off before the paint is removed. A graf-fiti-resistant lacquer has been consideredfor painted surfaces but this cannot be ap-plied to natural features which remain vul-nerable to graffiti vandalism,” she explains.Fish Hoek beach and the adjacent areas

have a variety of different users. Publictransport has facilitated easy access to thearea andmanyvisitors use the space for rec-reational purposes, Walker explains.“The beach area and associated facilities

are utilised by informal traders and theircustomers, City staff removing kelp off the

beach with large machinery,shark spotters, law enforce-ment, lifeguards, the sailingclub operating from the space,and trek netters accessing thebeach to maintain a livelihood.Each of these user groups poten-tially impact on the beach andsurrounding areas,” she says.Illegal dumping in the dunes

and around the railway line alsoposes a challenge.“Natural dynamic coastal

processes, such as wave actionand erosion, and the environ-mental conditions associatedwith the coastline also impacton the area. These impactsspeak to the challenge of main-taining the area to a high stan-dard,” Walker says.

Graffiti on rocks at Fish Hoek beach is challenging toremove.

Vandalism of signs is one of the issues set to be addressed during a site visit to Fish Hoekbeach this week.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA

Residents toprepare forwinter rainOver the past eightweeks, the council has

put in measures to limit the impact ofpossible mudslides in the Southern Penin-sula, following the devastating fires thatraged on the mountains in this area inMarch.With the next heavy rains being forecast-

ed for this coming week, the City of CapeTown once again wants to urge residents inthe Southern Peninsula (in particular thosewho live in close proximity to or against themountain slopes) to take protective meas-ures within their property boundaries.To date, the City has spent over R2m on

preventative measures in the SouthernPeninsula, with another million to be spentby the end of thismonth, says Brett Herron,mayoral committee member for transport.“We are trying our best to limit the possi-

bility of damaging mudslides, but residentsin this part of the city must also take ac-tion,” he says.Residents need to ensure that excess flow

from heavy rains is directed away fromtheir properties. Those who would likemore information onwhatmeasures to takecan contact the district office for the SouthPeninsula on 021 444 3257 or [email protected] the past eight weeks, the council

has focused on preventative measuresalong Boyes Drive and Ou Kaapse Weg, asthese are the main traffic routes that couldbe affected by heavy rains. Some of the pre-ventativemeasures include the installationof silt curtains – installed on the mountainslopes to intercept silt that may be washeddown the slopes in heavy rains – and sand-bags, which aremainly used to increase the

capacity of the existing drainage systemand to redirect stormwater flows away fromareas that are at risk of flooding.Gabions (wire baskets filled with stones

with the size and extent being determinedby the riskathand)havealsobeen installed.They are commonly used within water-courses and other areas of high anticipatedrun-off to trap silt and debris, as opposed tosilt curtains and sandbags which are toofragile to manage the heavy flows from themountain.Trapsmade of vertical steel beams, called

dragon teeth, have been installed in frontof the openings at stormwater catch-pitsand mountainside stormwater inlet struc-tures to prevent rocks and sticks from en-tering the stormwater system and blockingthe stormwater pipes.The City has already contacted home

owners who are considered to be at highrisk to advise them about obstructions towater flow on their properties such asboundary walls with inadequate openings,stored or stockpiled materials, and struc-tures that could pose a risk (such as wendyhouses), Herron says.“I want to assure our residents that

throughoutwinterwewill continue tomon-itor and analyse the areas that were dam-aged by the mountain fires. We will ensurethat blockages in the stormwater systemare cleared as soon as practically possibleand, if needed, we will also implement addi-tional measures during the rainy season,”he says.V Residents are encouraged to report blockages tostormwater infrastructure to the City’s transport in-formation centre on 0800 65 64 63.

Beware robbers in VW GolfThe police are on the hunt for a VW Citi Golflinked to several cases of robbery inDiepRiv-er and Claremont.Captain Angie Latchman, spokesperson of

the Wynberg police cluster, says residentsshould be on the lookout for a black VW CitiGolf with registration number CA 900112.She urges residents not to confront the oc-

cupants of this car if seen, as they could bearmed and dangerous.“Immediately contact your nearest police

station,” she says.“Since these incidents have been reported

the Claremont and Diep River police haveembarked on intensive crime prevention op-erations which include stops searches andhigh-visibility patrols,” Latchman adds.

Tips which could prevent you from becominga victim of crime. If you feel that you are being followed,drive to the nearest police station so that youcan be escorted home.. Request the assistance of your securityprovider tomeet you at your residence, espe-cially if you are arriving home late.. Always check your rear-view mirrors tosee if anyone is following.. Report all suspicious persons and cars toyour local police station.. If you enter your street, look out for anysuspicious or unknown parked cars or per-son walking or standing around.. Install security lights that go on when en-tering the premises.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA

Eight trafficofficers arrive indeep southNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A traffic department serving the southernpeninsula is set to open next week.

Based on Main Road in Muizenberg, thedepartment will have eight traffic officerswith six cars and one supervisor with onecar, says traffic services spokespersonRichard Coleman.“In the past, we received requests to have

a department in the area to reduce the re-sponse times of the officers when respond-ing to complaints, accidents and incidentsand to increase visibility in the area,” hesays.Muizenberg resident and self-proclaimed

“traffic activist” Tracy Melass believesthere is a desperate need for increased traf-fic enforcement.“This whole area has been neglected for

too long.There arenot enough traffic lights,stop streets, speed cameras . . . never mindproper enforcement,” she says.Many of Muizenberg’s roads are abused

daily through speeding, ignoring signs,gridlocked traffic and rat-running, shesays.“Albertyn Road, for example, is crying

out for a solution. Noise bylaws for subur-ban livingarebrokeneverydaybyallowinga procession of supersized trucks to use thisnarrow residential road. And that’s beforeyou get to road damage, structural damageto adjacent properties and danger to pedes-

trians, many of whom are schoolchildren,”she says.There are solutions and the City needs to

enact them, Melass says.“Hopefully the traffic officers will get

some first-hand knowledge of just how badthings are and report back to thosewho canimplement changes. And hopefully theywill help put a stop to this rampant abuseof our roads by enforcing the law daily. Itis spoiling the charm of a village that drawsthousands of visitors to its beach,” she says.The department, which will be officially

opened on Wednesday next week, will im-prove efficient and effective service deliv-ery to all the residents in the far south area,Coleman says.

The wheels on thebus. . . may fall offNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Pupil transport has come under the spot-light after the Ocean View Community

Police Forum raised concerns around thesafety of vehicles used.A number of vehicles are suspected of be-

ing unroadworthy and overloading or nothaving correct licences, says chairpersonKathy Cronje.Kleinberg Primary School principal

Yoghya Chothia says she is concerned aboutthe condition of some private transport. Avariety of vehicles are used, includingmini-bus taxis and cars.“We have met with the private transport

drivers. We try to monitor it, but we don’thave control over transport. We have, fortu-nately, hadno incidents, butwewant ourpu-pils to be safe,” he says.But the responsibility to ensure transport

is safe falls to parents, explains Marine Pri-mary principal Wayne Lawrence.“We remind parents to ensure the trans-

port they use for their children is safe. Thebest we can do is to advise parents,” he says.Ocean View falls under the enforcement

authority of the City of Cape Town’s trafficservices, explains Siphesihle Dube, spokes-person for the provincial minister of trans-port and public works, Donald Grant. Thedepartment has undertaken awareness pro-jects to educate drivers and parents.“Minister Grant has participated in pupil

transport operations conducted by the Cityto address this very problem, when they areinformed of incidentswhere children are be-ing transported in conditions that arenot ap-propriate or safe,” he says.“The National Land Transport Act re-

quires vehicles to be roadworthy and appro-priate for the transportation of scholars, aswell as for operators to be in possession ofthe necessary documentation and authorityin order to carry out this function.”Thepublic transportunit (PTU)hasnot re-

ceived complaints specifically from OceanView schools, says City of Cape Town safetyand security executive director RichardBosman.However, operations areheld to en-sure that vehicles are roadworthy and thatdrivers have the necessary licences and op-erating permits. Operations are also held toensure that general traffic rules are com-plied with, he says.“In general, the PTU conducts operations

in problematic areas, but has not yet dealtwith Ocean View. In light of the new com-plaint, the unit will put it on their list forinvestigation,” he says.“Anyone who travels in an unroadworthy

vehicle, andwith a driver that is unlicenced,places their life at risk.”Parents are encouraged to take every

practical step to ensure that the transportprovided is safe, ensure that the driver isproperly authorised to perform this func-tion, including being in possession of a validdriver’s licence and roadworthy certificatefor their vehicles, Dube says.Parents who arrange transport for their

children should ensure that the transportoperators are licenced and have the relevantpublic transport permits, Bosman says.“If the driver does not have the necessary

operating permits and is pulled over, the pu-pil may be delayed in getting to school ormay not arrive at all as the vehicle will beimpounded. Traffic officers try their utmostto transport the pupils themselves to theirschools in instances like this,” he explains.

GREEN THUMBS: Pupils recently got their hands dirty as they helped Miss Earthregional semi-finalist Rachel Giddy to plant ten trees at Capricorn Primary school. Eachtree was given a name, while pupils made a promise to cherish and love the trees. MissEarth South Africa is a leadership programme that aims to empower young South Africanwomen with the knowledge and platform to create a sustainable difference to combatthe destruction of South Africa’s natural heritage.

Dancers show off for pupsA group of local dancers and artists will

come together on stage to raise funds foranimal sterilisation in the Western Cape.

They will perform in Dancers love dogs atthe Artscape Opera House on Saturday.

Brigitte Reeve-Taylor started the annualshow and Dancers Love Dogs (DLD) organi-sation in 2012 as a “random act of kindness”and has since brought hundreds of dancerstogether to help furry lives.

SterilisationSince its inception, the not-for-profit orga-

nisation has raised over R1m to foot the billof sterilising about 6500 animals.

The journey began when Reeve-Taylorrescued a puppy alongside a busy highwayand discovered, on her journey to find help

for the animal, the miserable existence thathomeless animals endure on the streets ofCape Town and its communities.

Sterilisations, over time, make an enor-mous difference in reducing the number ofstrays and unwanted dogs in our society.

The money raised by DLD also financiallyhelps dog owners who want to sterilise theirpets but find the cost too high.

Line-upThis year’s show will be hosted by Bren-

dan van Rhyn, who starred as Frank-n-Fur-ter in the Fugard Theatre’s recent producti-on of The Rocky horror show.

The rest of the line-up includes Cape TownCity Ballet, Cape Junior Ballet, Zama, Vad-hini Indian Arts Academy, Ashley and Brad-

ley Searle, the EOAN Group, Art in Motionfrom Johannesburg and Ananada Fuchs,amongst many others.

There will also be special appearances bythe SA Guide Dogs Association as well asBob, the “Frenchie” from SABC3’s Expressoshow.

TicketsTickets for the show cost R250, which

equals the cost of two-thirds of one sterilisa-tion, and are available at Computicket. Visitwww.dancerslovedogs.weebly.com for moreinformation.V Sponsors are needed to donate prizes for the luckydraw. Anyone interested in supporting this cause canemail [email protected] or call 021 671 2442 for moreinformation.
