With the roadworks came the milestones. Installation of milestones along main roads had become mandatory in Britain fifty years earlier, and the practice was adopted here, Gasson says.

We were hoping it might be found during the recent roadworks and the contractors searched dil- igently, but in vain, to find it,” he says. The replica stone is an accurate copy of the original, with Roman numerals marking the 17th mile, or 27.4km.

City has refurbishedwalkways, parking ar-eas and access routes to one of False Bay’smost popular beach havens.This stretch of the Main Road project in

Muizenberg has been completed in time forthe summer holidays, says Brett Herron,mayoral committee member for transport.The sidewalks along this stretch of Main

Road, also called the “historicalmile”, havebeen paved in red brick where they mean-der under the colonnades of historic build-ings dating from the late 1890s when minemagnates travelled by train fromJohannes-burg to theMuizenberg station for the sum-mer holidays.Anewpublic parking area in grass blocks

Old cannons restoredNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Two restored cannons at the entrance toMuizenberg Park were ceremonially

unveiled on Saturday.The two 24-pounder cast-iron guns,

mounted on new gun carriages, were origi-nally cast in Sweden in 1782.

The cannons were probably used by theDutch in the battle of Muizenberg and laterowned by the British army, explains Muiz-enberg History Society’s Chris Taylor.

“These guns could hurl a 10kg cannonball up to 5km, and sensible people kept outof their way,” he says.

They are now 233 years old, as they aredated on their trunnions, and weigharound three tonnes.

Recently restored, the gun carriageswere designed by Peter Wright, Muizen-berg surf shop owner and active memberand gunner of the Cannon Association ofSouth Africa (CAOSA). The carriages areclose to authentic and the guns now lookvery much as they did in the days they werein deadly use.

The Association works to preserve SouthAfrica’s old muzzle-loading cannons.

The building of the two new replica car-riages is part of the Main Road rehabilita-tion, which sees the upgrading of the roadbetween Muizenberg and Fish Hoek.

The mounting of the two big guns has cre-ated a special starting point for the Heri-

tage Mile, explains Taylor. This is envis-aged to incorporate the Railway Station,Het Posthuys, the Police Museum, Casa La-bia, the Battle of Muizenberg, Rhodes Cot-tage, the Shark Centre and other historicand cultural features of the coastline.

“There is no other place like it in SouthAfrica. The recent work by the City councilis greatly welcomed by historical and tour-ism bodies in the Deep South. There are al-ready walking tours offered that incorpo-rate the two cannons,” he says.

“By preserving and displaying ancient ar-tefacts like these, new generations are ableto gain an impression of what life was likehundreds of years ago, and to develop a bet-ter understanding of decisions made longago that often still affect us today. Our histo-ry is always part of us; in South Africa itis often a big part.”

The two cannons at the entrance to Muizenberg Park have been mounted on replica carriagesas part of the Main Road rehabilitation project.

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Visitors to CapeTown’s top attractions aregrowing, with Kirstenbosch seeing al-

most a third more visitors last year.This was announced at the annual meet-

ing of Cape Town Tourism, with CEO EnverDuminy attributing the boost to the additionof new attractions.“Kirstenbosch enjoyed growth of 29%

year-on-year as a result of adding the Boom-slang tree canopywalkway – proof that inno-vation works. The plan across the entiretourism industry and the associated busi-nesses is to provide richer travel experien-ces to visitors,” he says.

Table Mountain had the second highestgrowth, of almost 15%. Almost 1m visitorsenjoyed the mountain last year.Visitors to Robben Island increased 9%

and Cape Point saw a 3% increase.The V&A Waterfront still receives the

most visitors – 24m visitors last year, grow-ing almost 3%.“Many tourists comehere to see the iconic

attractions, and, if we market them correct-ly, we can make sure to offer other attrac-tions in conjunction with the more popularexperiences. The major attractions haveglobal appeal and awareness, so it’s a greatway of getting tourists here. Once they’rehere, we then have the opportunity to show-case some of the lesser known hidden gems

we have in Cape Town,” Duminy says.To highlight the City’s lesser known at-

tractions, the organisation recentlylaunched a video series showcasing hiddengems inWoodstock, the city centre and KalkBay.“These have given the viewer fantastic in-

sight into a richer travel experience. The‘travel like a local trend’ is a global one –tourists don’t just want a guide book offer-ing, theywant to experience the city thewaylocals do,” he says.Cape Town Tourism has also rolled out

mobile centres to distribute information tovisitors where they are.“We’re targetingniche tourismopportuni-

ties too. Business and educational tourists

will be encouraged to stay for longer and en-joymore of the city. Our Insider’s Guidemo-bile app allows these tourists to plan theirtrip in advance,” he says.The challenge remains to combat season-

ality, Duminy says.“Cape Town has plenty to do the whole

year round, so Cape Town Tourism is work-ing to find ways to communicate this to theworld.”Drawing local tourists toCapeTown is one

of the ways Cape Town Tourism hopes totackle this.“We are reaching out locally to get visitors

from within Cape Town and from withinSouth Africa to enjoy these experiences,” hesays.

Young swimmers at the AfriOceans Cen-tre in Simon’s Town received a high-pro-

file visitor recently.IFP leader prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi

visited the non-profit organisation to en-gage with pupils of Simon’s Town School asthey embark on a marine conservationawareness programme.The organisation was recently recog-

nised in parliament for encouraging “peo-ple to becomeproactive guardians of naturethrough informative and transformativehuman and nature experiences and pro-mote conservation”.The AfriOceans Centre aims to address

the high rate of drowning through its“Swim like a shark” programme, raisesawareness aboutmarine life and teachesba-

sic swimming skills to pupils.The organisation does not only intend

making children water safe through properswim coaching, but also educates on the im-portance of sharks and our oceans.Over 30 000 pupils at 13 schools have al-

ready benefited from the project, says Afri-Ocean founder Lesley Rochat.A self-proclaimed life-long conservation-

ist, Buthelezi emphasised the importance ofprogrammes such as those run by Afri-Oceanswhile addressing pupils onWednes-day last week.“I believe that conservation is not just

about protecting the future, but aboutteaching others to love, respect and benefitfrom our natural world,” he said.“We always look after the things we love.

So if we can make people fall in love withthe ocean,with nature andwithwildlife, wewill help these treasures survive.”

DISRUPTION OFWATER SUPPLY:CAPRICORN AND COSTA DA GAMAWednesday 18 November 2015

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zeropressure test on the water supply feeding the Capricorn water supply zone on Wednesday18 November 2015.

This will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas from 22:00 until 04:00 thefollowing morning.

The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in theaffected areas.

For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided intoreticulation zones which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the largenetwork. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.

Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

olence with the thriller Gas Light.The play opens at the Masque Theatre on

ham (played by Jenny Brandt) who is mar-

ried to the cruel andmanipulativeJack (Neilvan Bergen). Jack’s volatile nature and nar-cissistic tricks deliberately lead Bella to be-lieve that she is destined to die in an asylum.Hehas a shadypast to hide and even shadi-

er activities he wishes to conceal. He does

not realise, however, that his nocturnal ac-tivities cause the gas lights in their Londonhome to brighten and dip, drawing Bellaeven closer to the abyss.One evening a stranger called Rough

light on the situation and tries to convinceBella that she is not going insane.Directed byRichardHiggs,GasLight runs

In global economic terms, South Africa’svast oceans and inland waterways are anatural resource that has the potential to un-lock an economic industry and contribute tothe country’s job creation needs.The success of last year’s OpenOcean Fes-

tival, which formed part of the Volvo OceanRace Cape Town stopover, has been used asa platform from which to develop a nation-

wide annual Ocean Festival series linked toocean initiatives.The South African Maritime Safety Au-

thority (Samsa) and Worldsport have decid-ed to take the festival further, spreading itto other provinces and including inland wa-terways. The first South African Ocean Fes-tival in Cape Town, currently underway, isagain co-sponsored by the V&A Waterfront

and Samsa.The annual festivals will form part of

South Africa’s new marine tourism and lei-sure strategy, which was formally an-nounced this weekend at an event at theV&A Waterfront.Tourists will celebrate and make use of

South Africa’s more than 3000km of oceancoastline and inlandwaterways throughwa-

ter sports, music, food and education, there-by promoting destination tourism andmuch-neededopportunities for smallerbusi-nesses, skills transfer, development and jobcreation.Additionally, the hosting of ocean festi-

vals in other provinces will lead to the crea-tion of a national ocean festival company ororganisation.Themaritime industry contributed R19bn

to the country’s GDP in 2013, with projec-tions currently indicating that this is likelyto rise to about R44bn in 2020.

Get your knitting needles out – it’s timeto give Fish Hoek a facelift.As part of a rebranding initiative by the

Fish Hoek City Improvement District(FHCID), residents are being called to helpin yarn bombing over 30 trees along Kom-metjie Road.Yarn bombing is a type of graffiti or

street art that employs colourful displaysof knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre tobrighten an area.The FHCID, in seeking to find a brand

which shows visitors how dynamic FishHoek is, has sought to bring various role-players together to share their thoughts onhow the suburb should be branded.Led by business consultancy Tankwa

Sky, a residents survey was recently car-ried out. Of the more than 350 people whocompleted the survey, residents listed theenvironment, community and retirementfacility as reasons they choose to live in thesuburb (“Main Rd needs a makeover, saylocals”, People’s Post, 27 October).The top concern was Main Road, which

some described as “tatty”.At ameeting to present the findings of the

survey, a number of “quick fix” optionswere proposed to give the suburb a boost.The yarn bombing forms one of these.The trees, decorated in knitted pieces,

will reach out toMasiphumelele andOceanView, explains Tankwa Sky’s Lee-AnneMcQueen.“The project has the potential to bridge

the gap between the Fish Hoek, Masi andOcean View communities by getting taskteams together from all areas and givingpeople a fun, light-hearted focus andproject,” she says.The idea was inspired by visiting other

small towns and seeing how effective yarnbombing is.“The aim is upliftment, to bring a smile

to people’s faces, make us feel happy aboutour town, create a community vibe andmake visitors feel like this is a town thatpeople love and care about,” she says.The yarn bombs are expected to be put

up later thismonth, andwill be taken downafter the holiday season, McQueen says.V Visit www.welovefishhoek.co.za or the We love FishHoek page on Facebook for more information.

People are quick to complain. It’s human nature – whenyou’re not happy with something you speak up, say howyou feel, kick up a fuss until someone hears and doessomething about the problem.As recently demonstrated by university students

across the country, when you yell hard enough someoneis bound to hear and act. The students were victorious,yet now some say it’s not enough.The problem these days is that people have forgotten

the common courtesy of “Thank you”. Give them a fingerand they try to grab the whole arm, or worse, they throwit back because they wanted the pinkie, not the thumb.Often people complain about a crime-ridden alley, but

when someone takes action and closes it, those same peo-ple are unhappy because they can’t walk through it any-more. We constantly hear how long the waiting list forgovernment housing is. After years and years of waitinga family finally walks into their own home, but then it’snot good enough because it’s too small or located in thewrong area.And of course, roads . . . Everyone who owns a car has

had his fair share of traffic, but let the City dare startwithroadworks to improve the road and lessen congestion andyou hear the moaners start their engines. Or the com-plaints roll in when they put up another speed bump infront of a school.People too easily forget it is impossible tokeepeveryone

happy. The onesmaking the tough decisions about a solu-tion for a specific problem often have a much bigger pic-ture to consider too.Thehouseyouhavebeenwaiting for these last tenyears

may not be perfect or in the ideal location, but it’s yoursto decorate and cherish and share with whom you wish.The extra block we have to walk to catch a taxi or the

extra bump we have to break for in the road may be aninconvenience, but it could save a life.

‘Push-the-Pensioner Day’I would like to suggest that one day eachmonth is set aside and formally designa-ted “Push-the-Pensioner Day”. Myreasoning behind this is quite simpleand I am sure that everyone will agreewith me that the concept is quitebrilliant.As a pensioner myself, as well as

being a recovering cancer patient, Ibelieve that I’m eminently qualified totalk about this subject. Wherever elderlycitizens go these days they are constant-ly pushed, shoved and knocked out ofthe way by robust young people whoseem to be both bad tempered and in aterrible hurry.In a way I feel sorry for these young-

sters as they appear to be in a perpetualstate of desperation and aggression.Happiness and joy of life seem to havebeen lost in a fruitless search to satisfytheir egos. Although children may not

fall into this category, they have a morenovel way of offending the elderly: Theysimply refuse to acknowledge they existand cheerfully try and walk rightthrough them.If we nominated one day each month

as “Push-the-Pensioner Day” all assaultson pensioners would have to be confinedto this one day. This would leave therest of the month relatively safe forpensioners to venture onto the streetsand into malls without fear of beingknocked flying. Similarly, they wouldnot be taken by surprise as they wouldknow what to expect on these nominateddays and, preferably, elect to stay athome.Seriously though, it’s a sad indictment

on our society that the elderly andinfirm are treated with so little courtesy.

COLIN SUTCLIFFEEmail

Homes must apply to be moreThe City of Cape Town is aware thatprivate properties are increasingly beingused for various activities, for exampleas small churches or places of worship,businesses and crèches.While these uses are welcomed,

property owners must ensure that theuse of their property is in line with thezoning of the premises and consent foralternative uses must be obtained.A property zoned Single Residential 1

allows for a dwelling house to be con-structed. It also allows for additionaluses such as home occupation, a bed-and-breakfast establishment (no morethan six paying guests and no more thanthree rooms for guests) and homechildcare (a small crèche of up to sixchildren).Owners of properties zoned for Single

Residential 1 purpose must be granted aconsent use or temporary departure ifthey do not comply with the limitationsfor additional uses or want to operate aplace of worship, small business (such asa house shop), guest house or crèche(with more than six children) or want tobuild a second dwelling on the property.

If they fail to do so they will be incontravention of the property’s zoningrights. The City of Cape Town’s munici-pal planning bylaw permits the City totake a variety of actions in respect of anunlawful land use.An owner may apply to rectify the

unlawful land use or building work, butwill be required to pay a penalty.Legal action is the absolute last resort.

Therefore, property owners are encour-aged to visit their local district planningoffice to verify whether the current useof the property complies with the zoningof the premises and, if not, what processthey need to follow in order to complywith legislation. The City’s inspectorswill help property owners with anyquestions they may have about zoningmatters and building applications.Complaints relating to possible contra-

ventions are to be submitted in writingto the City’s property enforcementsection at their local planning districtoffice.

My proposalmakes roadsafety senseWe often read or hear of the carnage onour highways and byways and it wouldseem our leaders in road managementare doing their best to keep the motoristand pedestrian safe.The other conclusion one has to come

to is that motorists still do not believespeed kills. All kinds of projects havebeen launched to keep motorists incheck, like the Arrive Alive campaign. Itruns into the tens of millions of randsthat these accidents are extracting fromthe government coffers.With this sad state of affairs one would

expect proposals to bring this roadcarnage to an end. Every avenue will bedissected, analysed, tested and thenimplemented if it makes road safetysense. This is going to be my one ofmany attempts to sell my project for freeto the powers that be.When I was operational commander I

took the initiative to have huge postersmade of crime prevention hints andstuck them to my police vehicles, whichmade my police vehicles talk to thepublic when they were driven or parked,and it worked.The law enforcement officers’ vehicles,

in conjunction with other city servicevehicles like your waste collectiontrucks, should have such posters withexamples of the contravention of theRoad Traffic Act, like drunken driving,skipping red robots, speeding, with thepenalties stuck with magnets to the doorsor sides of the vehicles. While they arebeing driven or parked they warnmotorists of the consequences of contra-vening road regulations.Also look at minibus taxis to have

these posters attached to their vehicles.These posters can have hard-hitting

facts on road traffic violations withpictures. It will be in the face of motor-ists and this should have a driverthinking twice about contravening therules of the road.
