Sharing ‘the sweet life’ with Rossi’s diners

WRITER & PHOTOGRAPHER: Tweet Gainsborough-Waring

At 72, Melany Ralph Koekemoer has spent the past 27 years as a waitress at the iconic Hermanus restaurant, Rossi’s. She not only serves food but also brings life to the table with her energy, experience, and infectious warm humour. All in keeping with la dolce vita for which Italy is known and which drew her to this restaurant back in 1997.

Melany was brought up on a lifestyle farm in Bloemfontein, where she developed a love of nature surrounded by animals, including Dexter cattle and horses. Her happy upbringing also cultivated a passion for gardening, a competitive pursuit she shared with her adored mother. Inspired by her mother’s skill at growing Cyclamens, Melany developed a lifelong love of flowers. Her dad thought that if you couldn’t eat it, you shouldn’t plant it. Today at her home in Sandbaai she remains an avid gardener.

An intimate journey into the heart of the fynbos

WRITER & PHOTOGRAPHER: Tweet Gainsborough-Waring

A feast for the senses awaits at this year's celebration of our unique floral kingdom. The Hermanus Botanical Society (HBS) is holding its annual fynbos display from 21 – 24 September in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve. This year’s theme is ‘What’s in a flower?’ The exhibits will include examples of the main components of fynbos – Restios, Proteas and Ericas.

The displays will be organised in families to include trees and carnivorous plants, along with mosses and lichens which evolved long before flowering plants. More than 300 specimens will be on display with explanatory notes, photographs, charts and rolling computer screens which will give you a peek into the inner workings of the flowers and the habitat in which they grow.

There will also be an opportunity to learn more about the geological substrate on which fynbos grow.

How to stop the brain drain

The Lighter Side by Les Aupiais

It’s hard not to be addle-brained on quiz night. Somewhere buried in the deepest folds of your temporal lobe, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, you do know the opening lines to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. You’ve just got to figure out how to Roto Rooter it – and fast.

There's no point humming the melody. No, because once your brain has fixated on “Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?” you end up with a 24-hour ear worm and you’re no closer to the truth: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?”

The trick to emerging triumphant, is to gather two generations for the team to balance long-term and short-term memory plus a Smartie box of vocations. Youthful members are likely to scribble down the competitive name of controversial Olympic breaker Rachael Gunn – Ray-gun – while the senior members of the team recall that before O J Simpson’s infamy, he was the face of Hertz car rental. Ya, and that Romans drank urine and not mint tea to freshen up their mouths. Useful stuff, this.

A very happy Spring Day to all our readers. Our front page this week is a celebration of all that spring has to offer.

A floral symphony

WRITER: Elaine Davie

It may not feel like spring, but Spring Day is imminent and the fynbos is lapping up the rain and ‘busting out all over’. Which is why celebrating Chelsea in Stanford in September is such a brilliant idea.

When South Africa won a Gold Medal at the Chelsea Flower Show in May this year, it lifted the spirits of South Africans almost as much as our Rugby World Cup win did! The beautifully designed display of our nation’s stunning proteas achieved not only a Gold Medal but also the coveted Best in the Pavilion and the Best New Design awards.

Leon Kluge designed the stand and with the help of a hard-working team and private donations, showcased the spectacular Cape fynbos in a unique layout, breathtaking for its creativity, array of flowers and heady fynbos scent which filled the Pavilion. Now, Leon is building the fynbos display again – this time, for South Africans, from 21 September to 6 October.

Young adventurer reaches great heights

WRITER & PHOTOGRAPHER: Tweet Gainsborough-Waring

I am sitting across the table at the Houw Hoek Farm Stall, watching nine-year-old Graeme Larkman from Elgin tucking into pancakes and syrup after a day at school followed by sport. This ordinary schoolboy has achieved an extraordinary feat – raising over R16 000 for the Childhood Cancer Foundation (CHOC) by summiting the highest peaks in each of South Africa’s nine provinces.
The routes to reaching these peaks are challenging to many adults: Mafadi at 3 451m in KwaZulu-Natal, Namahadi at 3 291m in the Free State, Kwaduma at 3 019m in the Eastern Cape, De Berg at 2 331m in Mpumalanga, Seweweeksport at 2 325m in the Western Cape, Murch Point at 2 156m in the Northern Cape, Iron Crown at 2 126m in Limpopo, Toringkop at 1 913m in Gauteng, and Nooitgedacht-west at 1 816m in the North West. The total distance covered on foot is just under 150 km.
The inspiration for this ambitious project came from Adventure trail-running parents, Tamaryn and Ryan Larkman, who were looking for a meaningful activity that the entire family could participate in. After brainstorming nine potential options, their nine-year-old son, Graeme, chose the 9 Peaks Challenge as the perfect choice for a fundraising adventure.

Having a heart for hope

WRITER & PHOTOGRAPHER: Elaine Davie

We have all become exhausted by the empty rhetoric of politicians, especially around election time, that his or her party is committed to putting an end to the “triple scourge of inequality, unemployment and poverty”.
And then… nothing more happens. Until the next election rolls around. The truth is that they are too busy constructing new and more ingenious plans for defrauding the indigent of billions of Rands.
Fortunately, there are some sectors of civil society who are beavering away, mostly under the radar, to create hope in the lives of the hopeless. Among them are under-resourced NGOs, some faith-based institutions and those individuals, philanthropic foundations and businesses who are prepared to partner with them to make real change happen.
With feet on the ground in places where poor people live, they can begin to discuss the community’s most pressing needs. And together, they can work towards implementing remedial solutions to at least some of their challenges. These are people with heart, instead of empty words.
Last Thursday, the Abagold Development Trust (ADT) hosted a celebration of the work of the NGOs that they currently fund.

Celebrating the Cliff Path heroes

WRITER & PHOTOGRAPHER: Hedda Mittner

A special evening was hosted at The Rock last week to say thank you to local guesthouses for all their support throughout the year. Guests were treated to delicious canapés and wines from Newton Johnson at this iconic restaurant, built 27 years ago at the New Harbour – and still going strong today.

Owner Francois Barnard also had some special guest speakers lined up – the faces behind the heroic efforts of the Cliff Path Action Group (CPAG) to extend this famous landmark and make it available to all. Introducing the founding members of CPAG, Adv Johan de Waal and his wife Debbie Wynne, Francois said they were “very special people” who had been fighting the good fight since 2016.

“It was a lengthy eight-year process and there were several objections along the way,” said Johan, “but we ticked the boxes one by one and the project was approved in our favour step by step. It was eventually accepted by all the government departments and two-thirds of this 800m section of the path has now been completed.”

Johan said the Overstrand Municipality, the Provincial Government and CapeNature fought “shoulder to shoulder” with CPAG. The project also received overwhelming support from local residents and businesses.

OUT NOW

Spring slowly awakening

With the arrival of spring just days away, it was surprising to see snowfall on the top of Table Mountain on Wednesday morning. This unusual occurrence serves as a reminder of the ongoing climate change that is affecting our weather patterns.

Due to level 6 winds on Tuesday, many residents of the Overstrand were left without power when an electricity pylon on Rotary Way was damaged. Eskom staff, along with assistance from the Overstrand Municipality, worked throughout Wednesday to replace the broken pylon. At the time of going to print, an update from Eskom estimated the time of restoration at 15:00 for Stanford, Gansbaai and Hermanus.

In the face of increasing climate change challenges, it is imperative that we take proactive measures to minimise its effects on our local ecosystems. Leading the charge in these efforts is Grootbos, whose unwavering conservation work plays a vital role in safeguarding the diverse flora and fauna of the region.

To mark the arrival of spring, Grootbos will unveil an exact replica of the 100 square metre Chelsea exhibit that secured South Africa a gold medal, in Stanford. We eagerly anticipate welcoming the influx of visitors expected to flock to the Overstrand area to witness this spectacular display.

Warm regards,

28 August 2024 @ 12:00 UPDATE: HERMANUS - GANSBAAI POWER OUTAGE

In the 11:00 power outage update from Eskom, they mentioned a different Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR) for Hermanus/Gansbaai and Stanford.

This was incorrect, as Stanford is on the same line as Hermanus/Gansbaai.

The latest update at 12:00 from Eskom confirmed that the new estimated time of restoration is now 15:00.

Please note that we are reporting only the information as received from Eskom.

The fragile beauty of coastal dune habitats
Whale Coast Conservation by Dr Anina Lee

PHOTO: FBIP

Well, the southwestern Cape just experienced the wettest July on record. Yet climate change modelling shows that climate change will lead to a drier, hotter climate for the Western Cape. What’s going on?

Such are the weather uncertainties in an atmosphere that is overloaded with energy from a warming earth. One wet month does not represent a long-term climate trend, and we will all have to keep reminding ourselves that weather and climate are not synonymous.

An increasingly warmer world also means that the polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, which naturally means that sea levels are rising and will keep on doing so. What are our defenses against the inevitable sea level change? Our main defence is our coastal dune system.

Cinsault: The rebel grape making waves in the wine industry
In my glass with JP Rossouw

Once South Africa’s most widely planted red variety, Cinsault, also spelled Cinsaut, is a versatile workhorse, used to make still wine, sweet wine, and brandy. Its merits include growing easily anywhere, ripening fast, and forming big bunches with lots of grape juice to convert to wine. A commercial winner.

But it suffered from an image problem and was never considered a ‘noble variety’ (this title is reserved for the red grapes like Cabernet and Pinot Noir). Around 50 years ago, it was still over 70% of our total red wine plantings, but during the late 1900s and into the 2000s it gradually declined in national footprint. Today it makes up less than 10% of the total, with few new vineyards being planted.

What this does mean is that what is still there is often of good vineyard age, and older vines are useful in making wines of more character. They have adapted to the prevailing conditions and have absorbed the inherent mineral components better, with roots driving deeper into the soil.

Coffee table books with hot coffee
Written and compiled by Elaine Davie

Just the right pairing for our ongoing wintry weather. Although with books costing an arm and a leg today, coffee table publications probably fall into the category of nice-to-have, but unaffordable luxuries. That notwithstanding, dyed-in-the-wool book lovers could probably justify the occasional lapse as an essential ingredient to spiritual good health.

This month we feature three gorgeous, recently published coffee table books by local authors. If your birthday is coming up anytime soon, be sure to start dropping hints at every opportunity. The books are available at local bookstores and online.

Title: The Art Collection of Huberte Rupert: South African Art of the 20th Century
Author: Amanda Botha
Publisher: Flyleaf
This full-colour publication celebrates Huberte Rupert's art collection housed in the Rupert Museum in Stellenbosch. The book features a selection of 100 artworks from the collection, including works by both modern and contemporary South African artists.
Art critic and writer Amanda Botha traces Huberte's art appreciation journey through her involvement as a student cultivating friendships with local artists such as her 'Big Five' artists: Cecil Higgs, Maggie Laubser, Irma Stern, Jean Welz and Anton van Wouw.

The book also features works from many other South African and international artists, including works acquired by Penny Siopis, Stanley Pinker, William Kentridge, and Wille Bester from the Cape Town Triennial.

‘Kasinomics’: the key to local upliftment?

WRITER & PHOTOGRAPHER: Sarah Taylor

The Overstrand Municipality (OM) is looking to drive economic opportunities in the area by dual-zoning almost 600 residential properties in previously disadvantaged communities for commercial activities as well.

Introducing the ‘corridors and nodes’ policy, OM Councillor Clinton Lerm, Mayco member for Infrastructure Services and Planning and Development, said: “We are going to stimulate the economy where currently we don’t. In informal areas and townships, 557 residential properties in the Overstrand can now have economic development.

“We underestimate the power of what is happening in the suburbs, in settlements – the ‘kasinomics’. If you look at the economic insight of the townships, the areas where some of you don’t venture, there is money and micro-development. We need to look at how to stimulate that. We need to get out of our boxes!” said Clinton, speaking at a Hermanus Business Chamber (HBC) event held at the Hermanus Golf Club on Thursday.

Blue shows the way

WRITER: Christine Wessels

There are many things that Kleinbaai, in Gansbaai, can be proud of – being the preferred place for whales to mate and calve yearly, having our very own colony of endangered African Penguins on Dyer Island, being one of the top places in the world for diving with sharks, watching the Marine Big 5 (sharks, whales, dolphins, seals, and African Penguins), and our most beautiful sunsets. But also – a ray of sunshine called Blue de Gersigny.

Last month we celebrated ‘Plastic Free July’ (www.plasticfreejuly.org). For Marine Dynamics and their Dyer Island Conservation Trust, it was obvious that our focus for the monthly Marine Evening held at the beautiful Great White House in Kleinbaai, should be on how to free our lives, oceans, and nature from single-use plastics. And who better to invite as a speaker than Blue de Gersigny, a plastic artist and designer?

Blue collects colourful plastic items and transforms them into eye-catching wearable art. Her intention is to make people aware of plastic debris along our coastline and encourage them to pick it up rather than walk by. This beautiful, almost fragile artist is a force of nature when it comes to her passion to reduce, re-use, recycle, but most importantly, refuse single-use plastics.

CPAG leaps another hurdle

WRITER: Sarah Taylor

A victory was scored last week in the community drive to unite the two sections of the 12-km Hermanus Cliff Path at Poole’s Bay, Eastcliff. It now remains for the Surveyor General (SG) to come to an agreement, finally, on where the controversial High Water Mark (HWM) lies between 13 high-end properties and the ocean.

A High Court case challenging the legality of the new almost 1km-long link in the Hermanus Cliff Path was withdrawn on Wednesday by the Poole’s Bay Residents Association (PBRA) against the Cliff Path Action Group (CPAG), CapeNature and the Overstrand Municipality (OM).

A matter of taking French leave
The Lighter Side by Les Aupiais

Business will take me to post-Olympic Paris soon without the Tall Clever One (TCO). He has spoken French fluently for 50 years and I am ashamed to admit that I have not capitalised enough on having an in-house language tutor.

I can however gauge his level of annoyance by the number of rapid French expletives he utters post a toe bashing, a PC crash or when the hound has scarfed the entire contents of a chip packet, followed by the packet, necessitating yet another vet dash.

You really can’t beat the French for the grittiness of their insults or ignore that a tirade is usually accompanied by very non-English gesticulations and a quintessential curl of the lip. There is one saying that may offend if it was translated literally, so let me elegantly dodge the coarse bits: being pretentious in French is ‘to pass wind above one’s nether regions’.

And then there is the French-English rivalry issue. To push off without permission and paperwork in English is to take ‘French leave’. But not if you’re French. You ‘filer à l’Anglaise’. The antipathy runs deep.

Rest in peace, tannie Anna
15 March 1941 - 6 August 2024

WRITER: Lisa Spaarwater

Anna Spaarwater passed away peacefully shortly after returning home from watching her last Kalfiefees show, Mel die Storieverteller. She was relaxing in her favourite armchair, sipping a glass of red wine.

Anna was born in Cape Town on 15 March 1941. Her father, professor FCL Bosman, was a professor in Drama and Arts at the University of Cape Town and later Secretary of the South African Academy for Science and Art. Her mother was a Dutch citizen, née Senior, from Curaçao in the Caribbean Island in the Netherlands Antilles.

Anna moved from Cape Town to Pretoria with her father, mother and four siblings when she was five years old. She attended Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool and after matriculating she moved on to the University of Pretoria where she achieved a bachelor’s degree in education, and later a Higher Education Diploma from the University of Cape Town.

Although Anna only lived here permanently for the last 20 years of her life, Hermanus has always been considered her family's holiday town.

Harnessing the magic of music

WRITER: Lisel Krige
PHOTO: Supplied

It is not surprising that Stefné van Dyk comes to mind when you think of someone exceptional to celebrate during Women’s Month. Her youthful energy and vitality, which have for many years given enormous impetus to music development in the region, belie the fact that she has been officially retired for more than a decade.

The phenomenal Handevat Music Project, which celebrated its 10th year of existence in 2023, was founded in Kleinmond by Stefné and is still going from strength to strength. She is the unpaid CEO of the organisation and for her, rewards are primarily in the form of the gratification she gets from the project, as well as the prestigious awards and accolades she and Handevat have earned through the years.

Many previously disadvantaged children who would otherwise have limited recreational, creative and career options, find new and unthinkably exciting opportunities beckoning as their hearts and minds are opened and empowered by their Handevat experience. Without Stefné, the heartbeat of Handevat which is unstintingly guided by her column of fire, theirs would be a different story.
