Capturing the Heart & Soul of the Bay
By BylineAdmin on September 22, 2016
The Mossel Bay Municipality has embarked on facilitating its own Participatory Assessment of Competitive Advantage (PACA) process to review and determine its local economic development (LED) and tourism strategies and planning processes.The process has proved to be very effective in the past to strengthen the Municipality’s LED functions.
Mr Edward Jantjies, Director of Corporate Services of the Municipality, said the Municipality decided to move away from using external consultants as this more than often was too theoretical and removed from actual practice.The Municipality consequently formed a team together with various local stakeholders to work together to gather and process the necessary information. The PACA process requires a series of mini-workshops, which are designed each to take no more than two hours of the participant’s time.
The first phase, which basically involved the preparation for the process, has just been completed. The next phases will take place on 26 September 2016 (kick-off workshop), from 28 September 2016 to 14 October 2016 (PACA field work), 17 October 2016 (results workshop), 21 October 2016 (presentation event) and 28 October 2016 (way-foreward workshop). The PACA team includes Mr. Edward Jantjies, Haylene Claassen (Manager, Socio-Economic Development) and Bjorn October, Sharion Louw, Sandy Esau, Melissa Potgieter and Ravin Bavuma (all from the Municipality’s LED Department). It also includes Ms Marcia Holm, Manager of Mossel Bay Tourism.
Businesses and members of the public who wish to contribute to the PACA process can contact Melissa Potgieter at (044) 606-5256 or at mpotgieter@mosselbay.gov.za or Bjorn October at (044) 606-5000 or at boctober@mosselbay.gov.za.

Heiderand Buurwag is nou in sy tweede jaar en behaal baie sukses. Dis grootliks te danke aan inwoners wat die ekstra myl stap om hulle bure en buurt te beveilig. Hierdie mans en dames offer hulle slaap en vrye tyd op om deur die strate te ry en vreemde mense te rapporteer. Ons werk baie nou saam met die polisie en is hul oë en ore.Heiderand buurtwag was ook al behulpsaam met baie arrestasies. Ons word aan geen politieke party gekoppel nie en is mans en vroue van alle tale, rasse en geslag en verteenwoordig Heiderand se inwoners en niks anders.
Ons werk ook saam met die ander buurtwagte in die area en is tans besig saam met Bo-Dorp en Onder-dorp Buurtwagte om Da Nova ook te help om ‘n buurtwag te stig.Ons het die laaste maand baie spesiale projekte gedoen saam met die polisie en ander buurtwagte, ons het byvoorbeeld oggend en middag skofte by skole gery nadat skoolkinders beroof is. Ook het ook die afgelope naweek saam met die ander buurtwagte en polisie deur die strate van Mosselbaai gestap en gery om te kyk vir verdagte aktiwiteite.
In ons eie area het ons van die inwoners wat nie gewoonlik patrollie ry nie, gekry ‘to walk their block’ en vir hulle uitgewys waarna hulle moet oplet. Ons het ook ‘n persoon verwyder wat in ‘n oop erf tussen die huise vir hom ’n huis begin opsit het.
Vir vrouemaand het ons in samewerking met die polisie ao Koekemoer en munisipaliteit raadsdame Fortuin ‘n selfverdedigings klas aangebied vir dames van 13 jaar en ouer.
Indien enige persoon belangstel om deel van ons patrollie te word of om net op ons straat groepe te kom, kontak gerus vir Wynand 079 640 9166 of Peggy 072 929 5510. Ons benodig altyd vrywilligers om ons buurtwag familie te kom help.

Classic Rail – the private consortium that’s working to restore train services on the historic Knysna-George railway line – is pressing on with repairs to the section between Knysna Station and Keytersnek Siding, while at the same time attending to the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) phase of the project, which will establish its actual capex requirement.“The line has now been cleared and weed control will follow soon,” said Classic Rail’s Project Manager, Alan McVitty.
He explained that the FEED phase will include assessments of the retaining structures required to repair major and minor slips; the repairs required on the causeway and bridges across the Knysna Estuary; repairs to storm water crossings and furrows; and sleeper requirements.
“Engineers are currently preparing repair options for the Donkey Bridge and the slip at km 62,” he said. (See photo).Mr. McVitty said that Classic Rail is extremely grateful to Transnet Freight Rail’s engineers (RME) for their help in providing historic data and technical assistance.
Classic Rail is now working with Knysna & Partners to establish an ‘Outeniqua Choo Tjoe Trust’ that will receive and distribute funds to the project.
“We’re planning a crowd-funding campaign because we’ve had an overwhelming number of people asking how they can help,” said Mr. McVitty.
“An independent trust is clearly the best mechanism to manage this welcome enthusiasm. “In our model, donations will be paid to the Trust – which will live on after our 20-year concession ends – and Classic Rail will then motivate to the trustees whenever it needs to spend on specific infrastructure repairs.
“When the trains are running, Classic Rail will make regular donations to the trust so that funding will always be available to keep the infrastructure going, and to keep the Choo Tjoe operating in perpetuity.
“In this way – and because the money in the trust won’t be used for operational requirements – everybody will openly know exactly how their money has created value,” he said.
Classic Rail now plans to have its Knysna Dinner Train running between Knysna and Keytersnek by April 2017, and to have the steam-driven Choo Tjoe running between Knysna and Sedgefield as soon as possible thereafter.
“The second phase of the roll-out will include installing another turntable and a steam locomotive workshop at Sedgefield Station,” said Mr. McVitty.
“The opening of the line between Sedgefield and George will follow when other funds become available – and our ultimate plan includes the introduction of Road-to-Rail freight trains in 2020,” he said.
Public access to railway property.
Classic Rail Track Engineer Etienne Beukes announced with regret that the company is now forced to close the line to all unauthorised personnel – that is, to anyone not covered by its contractors all risk policy.
“This means that only registered site personnel and those in possession of an access letter from Classic Rail or Transnet Freight Rail may now access the line,” he said.
