WARNING - FALSE BAY
https://www.msn.com/en-za/travel/news/false-bay’s-raw-sewage-putting-beachgoers-at-risk
Cape Town - An “apocalyptic” problem is developing along False Bay, which has affected marine life and may put beachgoers at risk because of mismanaged effluent from the Zandvlei Wastewater Treatment Works.
UCT deputy director of environmental humanities Professor Lesley Green said millions of litres of raw sewage had been dumped into Kuils River, entered Macassar beach and affected the neighbouring coast ...
Petrik said the population had affected the Peninsula as beaches alongside the river were heavily contaminated with microbes.
“Everyone playing in the sand will pick up infections. E coli is one of them. There are many reports of E coli infections. I’m not a micro (biology) specialist, but I can read the data, and the data I’ve seen is very concerning.
“If it continues to infect the water, the wave water will spread microbes all along the beaches. I would be thinking twice about swimming in the beach and putting my child on the sand to play because pollution is really rife,” said Petrik, adding that fish caught in the False Bay area were also studied and found to contain high levels of chemicals such as painkillers, pesticides and antibiotics found in sewage.
“False Bay beaches are unsafe for recreational activities and swimming, and seafood products are unsafe for human consumption. Hundreds of residents close to harmful rivers are ill, and some have died.

WATCH: Family steals handbag at local restaurant
https://www.capetownetc.com/news/watch-family-steals-handbag-at-local-restaurant
CCTV footage of a family stealing a victims handbag at a local restaurant has surfaced on social media.
The victim’s husband, Louis Fourie, took to social media to share details of the incident on Saturday in a sarcastic post. Fourie’s post shows footage of his wife’s handbag being grabbed while seated at popular family eatery, Spur, in the Tyger Valley Shopping Centre.
“This wonderful family of three innocently took my wife’s handbag by mistake… You can see “little Tommy” turning around and taking my wife’s handbag by mistake… His mom must have one that looks the same,” Fourie’s post reads.
The footage reveals the tactics used by the family to steal the handbag, as the son slowly bends underneath the table to grab the victims bag. He slides the handbag over to his mother who passes it on to a woman who comes near the table and promptly carries the bag away.
“Then he passes to Mommy love that also makes the same mistake. Now mommy feels in the giving mood and decides to donate the handbag to a best friend “Sister Act” who promptly leaves to do some last minute Christmas shopping,” Fourie’s post continues.
Fourie has appealed to the public and those with any information on the identity or whereabouts of the assailants to come forward.
“If you recognise this tight-knit family of moral standings could you please inform them of the mistake they made by taking the wrong bag …. my wife’s. Willing to offer a cash reward to anyone coming across the bag (cream, soft with brown handles) with the car keys,” said Fourie.
Fourie said that his daughter’s Christmas present was in the stolen handbag.
“You can keep the money and my daughter’s Christmas present but please return the bag with the rest.”
Due to the theft, the Fourie family have been left without access to their vehicle as the only key to their car was in the handbag.
“Biggest problem is our last keyless car key was inside [the handbag] and that is going to cost a few thousand to replace… thanks for this “awesome” start to Christmas this year,” he said.
This is not the first incident where a family has worked together to commit theft as a woman used her young daughter to steal a handbag in November.
South African Police Services did not respond to queries on the incident.

SPRING TIDE ALERT!
https://www.capetownetc.com/news/christmas-spring-tide-alert
A warning has been issued by the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) cautioning the public to be aware of the full moon spring tide, which has already started and will increase in intensity towards its peak this Saturday December 22.
This spring tide alert applies from today to December 26, and the tide will bring higher than normal high tides and a lower than normal low tides.
Rock anglers fishing along the coastline, bathers, beach walkers, and coastal hikers are urged to be cautious especially in the afternoons when the tides will be at their highest, leaving very little space for beach goers.
Anglers are advised that places they have fished from in the past week may be submerged at high tide during this time, and those hiking on the coastline should be aware that their proposed route may not be accessible because of the higher than usual tide.
The NSRI is appealing to parents to make sure their children have responsible adult supervision when they are at the beach or in and around any water.
As many people find rip currents hard to identify, the public is urged to only swim at beaches where and when lifeguards are on duty and to swim within the safe demarcated swimming zones shown by lifeguards’ red and yellow flags.
Make sure you have the National Sea Rescue Emergency number on your phone or Google NSRI to find the closest emergency number to the area you are visiting.
Do not go into the water to try and help someone in difficulty but rather throw them something that floats (for example, Sea Rescue’s Pink Rescue Buoy) and call for help.
Emergency Services are on high alert and wish all water users a safe festive season.

It comes as no surprise that Cape Town was voted as the greatest city on Earth in the Telegraph Travel Awards survey for 2018, making this the sixth year in a row that the Mother City has claimed the top spot.
The Telegraph Travel Awards performs an annual survey to find out Telegraph Travel readers’ favourite cities.
Over 45 000 readers responded to the survey and Cape Town was placed at number one, above popular cities such as New York and Tokyo.
Venice surprisingly dropped down to seventh place after having held a spot in the top three for six years in a row. Meanwhile, Seville, a small city in Spain, is slowly climbing the ranks, going from holding 13th place three years ago to holding fourth place in 2018.
Sydney, Florence and New York held their positions from last year’s awards.
From Table Mountain to wine farms to the penguins of Boulders beach, not to mention the laid-back Capetonian lifestyle, there are dozens of reasons tourists and locals flock to the Mother City’s shores.
Here are several reasons why our beloved city was voted the greatest on Earth this year.
1. The exquisite Winelands
2. Our ideal beaches, which make up the city’s unreal natural landscape.
3. Table Mountain, the landmark of Cape Town
4. The African penguins who waddle along the beaches
5. Delicious eating out options such as La Colombe, which ranks as the sixth-best fine-dining restaurant in the world according to TripAdvisor

If you're taking a meander down to the West Coast, do pop in to Darling Sweets, where they make the most divine toffees (my favourites are Coffee and Chili (unfortunately not in the same toffee)!
And these lovable creatures too!
And don't forget ... I'm in Yzerfontein which is only about 20 mins. from Darling. Pop in to my place too for a coffee and a vape!

Cape Town Street Parade
January 2, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Get ready for Africa’s Biggest Cultural Festival!
Cape Town Street Parade, in partnership with the City of Cape Town, the Western Cape Government and Coca Cola (Peninsula Beverages), again promises a world class event on January 2 2019 for the residents of Cape Town and for visitors to the Mother City.
Previously known as the Tweede Nuwe Jaar Minstrel Parade, the organisers of the new format Cape Town Street Parade have worked to build an inclusive carnival for everyone who participates in it and who support it – its stakeholders, communities and all cultures and religions.
Minstrel troupes from all areas across Cape Town will perform in the streets of the city centre between Keizersgracht Street in District Six and Rose Street in the Bo Kaap, building on the long tradition and legacy of Tweede Nuwe Jaar which has been celebrated in the Cape for over 110 years.
“Last year we saw the best Tweede Nuwe Jaar celebrations that Cape Town has seen in many years. This year we will build on that success and look forward to a spectacular community event that is the biggest cultural event in Africa. We are encouraged by the large number of troupes that have already registered for 2019, and we expect at least 50 troupes to participate on the day,” says Muneeb Gambeno, Director of the Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association (KKKA), organisers of the Cape Town Street Parade.
Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, and Social Services, Alderman JP Smith, says the City is proud to be one of the sponsors of the celebrations: “This is a key cultural event for all the residents of Cape Town, and the well organised event that we saw last year made great strides in developing this into an iconic event that rivals some of the greatest street parades in the world. The event draws a diversity of cultures from across the city. It is recognised globally as being synonymous with Cape Town alongside Table Mountain.”
For the second year, a special Tweede Nuwe Jaar theme song has been produced for the celebrations, and this year, the song titled “It’s a Cape Town thing, n Kaapse ding!” is sung by local artist Shadley Schroeder. The song can be heard on the 2018 highlights video which can be viewed on the Cape Town Street Parade’s Facebook page, and it will be performed as part of the entertainment on the Grand Parade.
Entertainment starts from 12pm, with an opening ceremony on the Grand Parade at around 1pm and celebrations will continue up until 10pm.
The event expects to draw crowds of between 60 000 and 100 000 people, with the live entertainment including artists such as the legendary Loukmaan Adams, TDV.91 and other live bands, and Waseef Piekaan will perform MC duties.
Street acts include Street Activations, Football Freestylers, Khoisan Plasterz – Freestyle Dance Crew, Thandi Swartbooi Township Dance Academy, 7 Steps Drumline, 20Sk8 Skate Development and the Bo-Kaap Blikkie Band. Audiences will enjoy a Life-size Puppet and can participate in Live Mural Painting with Russel Abrahams and Yay Abe.
There will be limited Gold Circle Tickets going on sale just before Christmas for R100 a ticket. This area will allow patrons the best views of the Minstrels and is positioned right in front of the Coke Gig Rig where live acts play on the day. Follow on Cape Town Street Parade social media for news of the release date of these tickets.
All troupes are required to register with the KKKA by December 21 and can contact Dennis Petersen on denis.petersen@gmail.com or 072 145 1597.
My comment: We need to start a Vaping Troupe, with our theme song being, "It's a Vape Thing/Dis 'n Vape Ding" sung by [USERGROUP=3]@Admins[/USERGROUP]. Who will be the lead singer?
