Rubble and garden refuse lying strewn in the corner at

the De Grendel solid waste dropoff facility in Parow

North. The company contracted by the City of Cape

Town has to date not lived up to its predecessor,

according to regular users and staff working there.

O

perations at the De Grendel solid

waste drop-off facility in ParowNorth

will be inspected by the City of Cape

Town following complaints about the newly

appointed contractor.

Waste-Mart has been awarded the con-

tract after the application for extension by

the most recent contractor, SA Metal, had

been denied.

Now, since the beginning of this month,

people who want to drop off garden or build-

ing waste have been told to dump it in the

corner somewhere, because there arent

enough skips, and those precious few which

are on site are usually filled to the brim.

TygerBurger spoke to some of the irate

workers on site this week after a reader

phoned thenewspaper to complainabout the

pitiful service he has had to endure.

One of these workers, who prefers to re-

main anonymous, elaborates: It used to be

so beautiful here! Everything was working

smoothly. You must wait very long for the

trucks to collect the bins when theyre full.

The dump site was always clean. Now there

is a huge shortage of bins here, so what are

we supposed to tell the public?

A regular user of the facility, Charl Cil-

liers, says the facility is 100%worse than ev-

er before. I never used to have problems

coming here. Now the operations are poor

beyond belief! The containers are always

full, he states.

There used to be more than 20 skips on

site, but now the emptiness of the ghost drop-

off facility leaves the impression of a failed

operation.

SAMetals Kobus Prinsloo says they have

several other contracts for similar facilities

in the northern suburbs, but what he finds

strange is that the current contractor,

Waste-Mart, also has experience in manag-

ing drop-off sites, because they are in charge

of all the dump sites in the southern sub-

urbs.

We always do our best to provide a ser-

vice to the City and to the residents, says

Prinsloo.

T

he Panorama, Welgelegen and Plat-

tekloof suburbs and its local neigh-

bourhoodwatch (PWP), havenoticed

an increase in house burglaries recently,

as reported in TygerBurger. The watchs

Hannes Rudman highlighted the current

trend of burglars who gain entry into

homes through aluminium windows.

Parow Community Policing Forum

(CPF) chairperson, Roger Cannon, agrees

that break-ins are concerning in PWP,

which he describes as consisting of

wealthier suburbs.

Security measures

Cannon says people should join the

watch, Rudman says home owners should

increase their layers of security to

make it as difficult for the intruder to gain

access, andBothasig police spokesperson,

Warrant Officer Jacques Mostert, sug-

gests people should vary their daily rou-

tine as much as possible.

The latter continues: Home owners

should ensure they have burglar bars in-

stalled as a first line of defence and not

leave accessible windows open during the

night when it is warm. Also, ensure that

security gates are installed at the front

and back doors, and use it. Do not go out-

side and leave the security gates open

especially if you do not have the door in

your sight. Rather lock the gate and un-

lock it when you enter.

Do not let strangers enter your resi-

dence to make telephone calls. Take their

details through the locked security gate

and make the call on their behalf. When

you see suspicious people or vehicles in

your area, please phone the police. Even

if it is a false alarm, the visibility of the

police vehiclemight scare off other poten-

tial criminals. Install security lights

around your home and check for blind

spots. Good locks and good neighbours

who watch out for each other can be the

best deterrent against burglars. Then, se-

cure sliding doors so that it cannot be lift-

ed off their tracks. Store swimming pool

and garden equipment (long items such as

cleaning poles) where perpetrators can-

not have access to it. Ensure that garage

doors are included on the house alarm or

locked with a deadbolt to prevent garage

burglaries.

Bigger picture

Mosterts advice was specifically aimed

at residents of Bothasig, but it can be used

by residents all over Parow, Cape Town

and South Africa.

Cannons call for people to see the big-

ger picture and join their local neigh-

bourhood watch is a necessity in PWP, as

it is in every suburb.

If youwant a safer neighbourhood, the

police cannot do it alone. Stop complain-

ing and do something about it,he says.

Even that person who is way too ex-

treme formost people in his or her sugges-

tion in fighting crime is better than the

resident who sits behind security gates

and only caring about him or herself,

adds Cannon.

The police are under-resourced in

South Africa, but if everyone pulled to-

gether then we will make life very hard

indeed for wrongdoers.

Easymeasures can curb crime

FROM PAGE 1

We believe it is important for the public to

have a convenient and clean place where

they can go to dispose of their garden refuse

and rubble. During peak months, such as

December,wehad to call inmore trucks and

trolleys to ensure thebins are emptyand the

site is clean. The cleanliness is especially

important at De Grendel, because there are

rats something that could get out of hand

if it is not maintained, he elaborates.

From more than 20 skips, the site now

boasts less than eight.

We only have onemixed bin and one rub-

ble bin, says one of theworkers. There are

no green bins and no wood bins! Before this

company took over we had four green bins

and six rubble bins. The people who show

up get unbelievably upset when they dont

have a place to dump. We were told to tell

them that they should dump in the corner

somewhere.

When TygerBurger was there this week

some of the corners were full of rubble

something unheard of in the preceding

years.

Councillor Leonore van der Walt and the

City of Cape Town say they are investigat-

ing the matter and will take action where

needed.

TheCity also asks users to be patientwith

the new contractor, with teething problems

bound to occur in the beginning.

The only comment Waste-Marts Paul

Jafta was prepared to give at this stage was

that they were busy sorting it out and

more bins were on its way.

T

here are so many areas in the Par-

ow policing precinct, and each

presents its own unique set of

problems and challenges, said local Com-

munity Policing Forum (CPF) chairperson

Roger Cannon.

This statement has inspired the concep-

tion of a series of articles, which will touch

on one specific area a week. TygerBurger

will speak to the local neighbourhoodwatch

and hear from the people who know their

suburb the best.

The eight areas of Parow, based on the ac-

tive neighbourhood watches, are Parow

North Upper, Parow North Lower, Avon-

wood/De Tijger, Fairfield, Parow Valley,

Pacrif, ParowWest and Panorama,Welgele-

gen and Plattekloof (PWP).

Obviously oneof thekey solutions to pre-

venting crime in each of these areas comes

down to the residents themselves, explains

Cannon. By joining their neighbourhood

watch they are already taking a huge step

to living in a safer environment. The least

they can do is join aWhatsApp group estab-

lished in their street or suburb. This is a

greatway ofmonitoring the flowof valuable

information, such as a suspicious person or

vehicle spotted in their suburb.

According to Cannon one person will re-

port, for instance, a suspicious vehicle, and

then another will say they just saw it turn

down the street and later another will say

it has just left the suburb.

Some of these WhatsApp groups can be-

come litteredwith small talk, and to combat

this Cannon says there should be two

groups one for normal communication

and one for emergencies only. One can as-

sign a different notification sound to each

group and then you will immediately know

when there is, as example, a robbery.

The time has come for every single per-

son concerned with crime to think bigger.

Together we can play a real part in making

a positive difference, he continues, before

adding that oneWhatsApp grouphe belongs

to has already reached the maximum num-

ber of members.

I dont know the exact number, but it

could be in its thousands, he concludes.

This week TygerBurger will focus on the

PWP area, where break-ins are a great con-

cern. From next week TygerBurger Parow

and TygerBurger De Grendel will each run

its own separate series of articles, with Par-

ow focusing on Pacrif andDeGrendel focus-

ing on Bothasig.

Parow precinct explained

There are eight neighbourhood watches in the Parow police precinct, and each area has its own

set of challenges. These are (from one to eight) Panorama, Welgelegen and Plattekloof neigh

bourhood watch, Avonwood/De Tijger, Pacrif, Parow Valley, Parow West, Fairfield, Parow North

Lower and Parow North Upper.

The Greater Tygerberg Partnership held a business breakfast at the Nitida Wine Estate in

Durbanville on Thursday June 30 to launch their plans for Parow and Bellville. At the

breakfast were from left: Councillors Christo Kannenberg, Ronel Viljoen, Johannes van der

Merwe and Clive Justus.

The GTP Directors present at the breakfast were: Chris OConnor, JP Bester, Sanett Uys

and Justin Coetzee.

Police investigate pamphlet

A pamphlet calling for homosexuals and

non-Muslims to be killed was recently

distributed at an unnamed Parow night

club that caters mainly for gay patrons.

The origin of the pamphlet is being

rigorously investigated by Parow police,

and according to reports a private

investigator has also been called to action

by a Rylands businessman, whose name

appeared on the pamphlet. He has since

claimed this is not the first incident

where his name was listed on similar

flyers distributed by someone who is

unhappy about a property he is linked to.

The flyer calls for people to join our

latest crusade and sponsor a rocket to

kill non-Muslims and kill all lesbians

and gays all over the world.

Police are investigating a case of

intimidation.

T

he Lions Club De Grendel recently re-

flected on the last few years to update

readers on some of their proudest mo-

ments.

The twinning and initiating of the Hear-

ing Aid project with the Exeter West Lions

Club UK (their contact being Lions member

Gerald Adams) resulted in over 20 000 hear-

ing aids received at no cost.

These aids were distributed to local hospi-

tals, clinics or other hearing disorder orga-

nisations free of charge. At a purchase cost

of R16 000 each, this project was worth in ex-

cess of R40 000 000.

Another significant project was the clubs

twinning with various German Lion Clubs

who sent themsecond-hand school and sport

uniforms. They also assisted the club to re-

roof the Sanddrift Cheshire Home and to

purchase a Nissan delivery vehicle.

The club also received three containers

with over 600 000 used spectacles that were

sent to the Lions Operation Bright Sight

head office. At R100 each this project is val-

ued at R6 000 000.

Presently the club feeds over 250 people

per week and collects food almost daily.

The food is distributed in the De Grendel

and surrounding areas. This project

thanks to the generosity of local food super-

markets enables club members to distrib-

ute food parcels worth over R100 each. This

food value is in excess of R1 300 000 per an-

num going to indigent fellow citizens.

Then, thanks to the generosity of Edel-

weiss Airlines, the club was able to collect

and distribute 2000 used passenger blankets

during 2014, 2015 and 2016. The blankets

were extremely well received. At about R50

each, this donation was worth in excess of

R400 000.

Says club president, Patrick Pillay:

While above projects are worthy of men-

tion our personal belief is that the projects

whereby we entertain the physically and

mentally handicapped, our seniors and the

youth are extremely meaningful and re-

warding. These are done on a one-on-one ba-

sis . The smiles of contentment and happi-

ness on the beneficiaries faces make all our

efforts worthwhile.

DESIRE RORKE

A

lthough the day to day cost of living in

Cape Town is a challenge for many lo-

cals, and leisure activities as an ex-

pense may not fit into the budget, it is still

possible for locals to enjoy their city, says

Gareth Bloor, Mayco member for tourism,

events and economic development, follow-

ing the citys big win at this years Travel

and Leisure Worlds Best Awards.

Cape Townwas namedwinner in the cate-

gory Top Cities in Africa and the Middle

East, during a ceremony held in New York

on Wednesday 6 July.

There is a variety of free and low-cost

things to do and see that make it possible for

locals to get out and enjoy the city. There are

parks and beaches, with hikes on the moun-

tain and in nature. In fact, one of Cape Town

Tourisms most popular pages on their blog

is called 50 things to do for under R50 in

Cape Town, he said in an interview with

TygerBurger. Bloor says this award is good

news not only for the tourism sector, but

to the local economy as a whole.

Besides airlines, hotels and other forms

of accommodation, the tourist rand is spent

on restaurants, transport, retail and other

activities not necessarily considered to be

tourism activities. The entire supply chain

is impacted by increased tourism, support-

ing local food producers, farmers and local

manufacturers, employment opportunities

and providing job sustainability, he says.

When asked about inflated tourism prices

most locals cant afford, Bloor says many of

these attractions have bucket list status.

The big attractions are the reason many

international visitors travel across the

world for this bucket list experience, so

while they may come with a price tag, we

should see that they are worth saving up for

on our own bucket lists as locals, he says.

He adds that many of the local attractions

have specials aimed at locals, such as the

free Table Mountain Cableway trip on your

birthday on presentation of a South African

identity document, or open days at some of

SanParks destinations where there are re-

duced fees or no fees at all.

Bloor says the tourism market offers

many alternatives for locals.

Hike up to the top of Table Mountain

along one of the many hiking trails which

are so popular among international visitors,

or take a budget boat trip in the harbour,

he says. Bloorwarns that local tourismbusi-

nesses should guard against pricing them-

selves out of themarket in favour of interna-

tional visitors, andaddsCapeTownTourism

is determined to showcase the entire city

including the northern suburbs, Atlantic

seaboard and Blaauwberg coast.

A past pupil of the Hugo Lambrechts Cen-

tre, violinist Jeffrey Armstrong (19), will be

one of themain attractions at the upcoming

SA National Youth Festival concert, which

will be held at the centres

auditorium on Saturday

(16 July) at 19:00.

He will play a solo with

the National Youth Or-

chestra.

Hundreds of young mu-

sicians audition for a cov-

eted place in the National

Youth Orchestra, and a se-

lect few are chosen to form

the green and gold nation-

al team each year.

The orchestras pro-

gramme includesMahlers

glorious Fifth Symphony

and Benjamin Brittens

seldom-heard Double Con-

certo for Violin and Viola,

written when the composer was just eigh-

teen. The orchestrawill be conducted by the

sensational Ewa Strusiska, a finalist and

laureate at the prestigious Gustav Mahler

International Conducting

Competition in Poland.

The performance at the

auditorium will be pre-

sented in association with

Fine Music Radio, as part

of their drive to sponsor 67

radios for beneficiaries of

the Cape Town Society for

the Blind. Proceeds will go

towards the National

Plattekloof Educare het 20% van hul 67 Blan-

ket-kompetisie se wengeld aan die Tyger-

berg-dienssentrum vir bejaardes en mobiele

etes geskenk.

Die skool se ouers het hulself oortref ty-

dens die nasionale 67 Blanket-kompetisie en

is as een van die vyf voorste presterende sko-

le gedentifiseer as dit kom by die hekel van

komberse.

Ten spyte van die min tyd het di klein

skooltjie se ouers 23 komberse gehekel.

Sunnell de Necker, eienaar, brei uit: Ons

het net nmaand gehad,maar al die ouers het

bygedra tot ons prestasie. Party het wol ge-

skenk, ander het geld geskenk. En dan was

daar natuurlik die mense wat gehekel het.

Al die belangstellendes het selfs n hekelles

of twee ondergaan voor die groot taak begin

is.

Dit was ook nie net die ouers wat gehekel

het nie, maar ook n paar senior burgers van

die Tygerberg-dienssentrum.

Ditwas egter nie die rede hoekomdie skool

besluit het om n deel van hul wengeld aan

die sentrum te skenk nie.

Ons is al lankal betrokke bydie sentrum,

s De Necker.

Die kinders hou gereeld vertonings vir

die seniors en ons glo die sentrum doen fan-

tastiese werk met die ou mense. Hoe meer

mense in die omgewing weet van die sen-

trum, hoe beter.

Die sentrum se bestuurder, Linda Louw,

gaan voort: Hierdie is n pragtige skooltjie

met sy onderwysers, wat gereeld in ons orga-

nisasie bel. Ons is baie dankbaar vir hierdie

welkome skenking van die skooltjie.

Die 67 Blankets-organisasie het vanjaar

weer probeer om hul eie Guinness-wreldre-

kord te slaan wat hulle in 2015 opgestel het.

kel en die uiteinde was n allemintige kom-

L

ameez Majiet from Thorn-

ton is living proof that hard

work pays off. At the age of

28, this City of Cape Town em-

ployee has become one of the

youngest individuals to have

completed her Masters degree

in business administration

Lameez spent most of her

childhood years in Portlands,

Mitchells Plain and Heideveld.

Growing up in a family where

her mom and dad were blue-col-

lar workers meant they all had

to work really hard for every-

thing that was needed. She knew

from an early age that she and

her siblings would have to make

the most of public schooling. At

the time, the thought of attend-

ing a university seemed nothing

more than a distant dream.

Aside from the high cost to at-

tend university, the Majiet sib-

lings had to work to help supple-

ment the family income.

She has been with the City of

Cape Town for just over four

years and is quick to point out

that this degree does not signal

the end of her academic journey.

Lameez has every intention of

pursuing a Doctorate of Philoso-

phy (PhD) degree in business ad-

ministration in the not too dis-

tant future.

Currently working in the information

services and technology department,

Lameez would like to pursue a career as

a SAP software analyst within the City

of Cape Town.

Lameez is wise beyond her years and

has some words of wisdom for her peers:

My advice to young people is that they

need to go out and look for opportunities,

especially educational opportunities.

Each one of us needs to take responsibili-

ty and do something positive with our

lives. Being able tomake a success of our

lives is the best gift we can give our par-

ents and grandparents who fought for us

to be free and to get a quality education.

Most importantly, surround yourself

with peoplewhoare positive andprovide

the support needed to accomplish your

goals, says Lameez.

Citys Mayco member for corporate

services and compliance, Xanthea Lim-

berg, congratulated Lameez on her

achievement at such a young age. Her

focus andwill to succeed should be an in-

spiration to her peers. Quite oftenwe see

young people succumbing to peer pres-

sure for the wrong reasons and in some

cases straying away towards social ills.

My challenge to them is to follow Lam-

eezs example. The opportunities are

plenty you just need to find them and

pursue what is of interest to you.

Lameez is among a group of 161 gradu-

ates who were recently awarded certifi-

cates of recognition for different levels of

qualification.

F

rom the township all the way to Cannes, a

group of local filmmakers are behind the

film thats being hailed as the first zombie

movie made in Africa for Africa.

Last Ones Out, which premiered at the Durban

Film Festival last month, has already represent-

ed South Africa at the Cannes Film Market last

year.

Shot in Dunoon and Tygerberg Hospital

amongst other Cape Town locations, the film is

the brainchild of producers Howard Fyvie from

Woodstock and Greg Kriek from Parow.

The duo managed to pull off the seemingly im-

possible by creating a full-length top quality fea-

ture film on the limited budget of only R50 000

a far cry from theR3,5mused on average to create

a South African film.

We realised our biggest challenge wasnt nec-

essarily a lack ofmoney ... it was having the right

attitude, says Greg, who stars in themovie him-

self.

Anything is possible were hoping that peo-

ple will not only be entertained by the movie but

will also be inspired, says writer and director

Howard Fyvie.

The movie tells the story of Henry, a cynical

American contractor whowakes up in a deserted

hospital in the midst of a devastating zombie

apocalypse in southern Africa. After learning

that the region is in the grip of an otherworldly

outbreak, he is forced to join forces with three

locals in order to survive.

While Greg, who plays Henry, is gaining popu-

larity on local screens with roles in Momentum

and n Man soos my Pa, the art-house drama also

stars Bellvilles Christia Visser, known for her

roles in Hollywood in My Huis and Ballade vir n

Enkeling, and veteran performer Tshamano Se-

be, also from Woodstock.

V Visit www.lastonesoutmovie.com for more information

about Last Ones Out, or visit the films Facebook page for

a behindthescenes look at the movie.

LEWENSKIEKIE

Never give the

complex

witch reason

With more and more people living

physically closer to one another in this

security complex booming market in

Cape Town, the poor witches have

nowhere to turn to.

They used to be able to cook children

in peace and croon to their hearts

content without disturbing the neigh-

bours, but now they live within spitting

distance.

Most of us who reside in a flat or in a

security complex know the resident

witch, who is almost inevitably a lonely,

middle-aged woman trying her darndest

to make everyone feel just as miserable

as she clearly is.

At night she sleeps with the rule book

under her pillow and wields it around

like a wand during the day.

Sometimes she can be heard cackling

clauses of this book while stirring her

cauldron at night.

Reconciling these witches and their

neighbours might

very well be an

impossible task,

but the least I can

do is try.

Extensive experi-

ence in this field

obliges me to tell

all you good

neighbours that its

best not to feed the

witch.

Dont give her

any reason to go on

the attack. This

includes having a

petition signed by

all the other neighbours to force her to

be more civilised.

She will only grow more evil by the

day, and one should never underestimate

black magic.

Dont give her reason to hurl quoted

paragraphs of the rule book at you. This

means you will have to know it at least

half as well as she does. Try to live

within these rules, which are definitely

just. Remember, the witch didnt write

this book. She just enforces it in an

unrelenting way.

Perhaps the best advice I can give is to

flatly ignore her. She craves attention, so

dont give her any.

Some of these witches like cooking

children, so keep yours away from her

front door at all times.

Witches hate the carefree laughter of

children and refuse to acknowledge that

they too cried loudly every now and

again when they were young.

Finally, to the witches of the northern

suburbs please, for the love of all

things good in this world, give it a rest.

About 99% of neighbours dont bend

rules because they are spiteful. They are

just human just like you were before

you bought that pointy, holier-than-thou,

witchs hat. Andr Bakkes

There certainly are some

motorists with arrogance, no

patience, and even a dislike

for scooters. They would hoot

at them, and even try to

drive them off the road at

every opportunity.

But, remember that many

motorists wouldnt know how

gesien waar daar nie eers op

nie, maar doodluiters in die

middel van die straat gestop

word om passasiers op en af

te laai. As mens vir die

n vieslike handsein en n

moes dadelik rem omdat

daar n taxi in die middel

van die straat gestop het om

kennis gestel van taxis wat

in Proteaweg werksaam is,

maar dit val op dowe ore. Die

laaste keer het die persoon

vir my ges ek moet n klag

by die polisie indien, want dis

n kriminele oortreding. Die

polisie s weer dit is die

verkeerdepartement se baba.

Waarheen nou?

Klagtes oor taxis

val op doweore

Ek bly al 31 jaar in my

woning. Voorheen het ons

geen probleme met bure

gehad nie. Nou is dit n

kommin buurt. Elke naweek

is dit alkoholmisbruik deur

die mense tot vroeg in die

oggend. Hulle gaan soos

kommin goed aan en speel

kliphard musiek en gil en

gaan tekere. Meeste van ons

werk en dis n steurnis. Ons

het al telkemaal die wetstoe-

passers gebel, maar hulle gee

Ek het verlede week op pad

na my ma toe gesien hoe twee

mans dromme op die sypaad-

jie uitgooi en in die vullis

krap. Toe ek terugry van my

ma af, is die ouens nie daar

nie, maar die hele sypaadjie

en die eienaars se erf was vol

vullis. Hulle het dit net so

gelos. My foonbattery was te

pap om iemand te bel. Toe

sien ek die twee by die winkel

en gaan vra hulle om asse-

blief te gaan opruim, wat

hulle toe gaan doen het.

Mans gooi vullis uit

dromen los als so

klim. Die hele straat se

vyfuur-verkeer moes stilhou

vir die prosessie. Op Belami-

weg /Brackenfell-boulevard

het n taxi nou die dag in die

sirkel gestop om iemand af te

laai en toe ek my foon uithaal

om n foto te neem, kon ek

sien hoe hy dit in sy spieltjie

opmerk en toe vinnig weg-

trek. Daaruit lui ek af dat hy

baie goed geweet het hy is

besig om die wet te oortree.

Gaan ons as n gemeenskap

toelaat dat die verkeersrels

so oortree word en ons en ons

kinders se lewens in gevaar

gestel word?

net n verwysingsnommer en

verder doen hulle niks. Ek

dink hulle moet die rels van

kuiertye duidelik stel in

plaaslike koerante sodat die

dronkies nie ander se rus

versteur nie. Wat van die

arme siek en bejaarde mense?

So kan dit nie aangaan nie.

Wat moet die arme kinders

nie dink nie. Daar sal drasties

iets gedoen moet word.

I refer to Peter Smuliks

letter Ignorance over nuclear

tech, TB, 22 June.

Admittedly, the major

problem with nuclear reac-

tors is what to do with them

when they are shut down.

Any items through which

coolants have flowed for a

few decades will end up

heavily contaminated with

various radio nuclides, a lot

of them with very long half

lives tens of thousands of

years in some cases. So they

dont decay very quickly.

Like it or not, with all the

reactor plants the world is

going to have many reactor

Fukushima cannot

happen atKoeberg

containment buildings around

for hundreds of years, in

many cases, before they can

be finally dismantled and

their containment structures

broken up.

But a lot of the problems

about long term storage of

spent fuel elements is finding

sites where the local inhabit-

ants dont come out gasping

Nimby! To a large extent

nuclear power is so easily

misunderstood where safety

is concerned, and incidents

like Chernobyl and Fukushi-

ma have not made that

situation any better.

Plus, of course, the enthusi-

asm for renewable energy

generating sources, solar and

wind in particular, but for

which the free power source

is largely intermittent ...

There are people who

would like you to believe that

what happened at Fukushima

could happen at Koeberg.

It cannot happen.

As far as I am aware, there

are no earthquake subduction

zones around the Atlantic

seaboard. The only situation

for a real disaster would be

for a large asteroid to hit the

Atlantic Ocean and produce a

wave half a kilometre high,

but that would destroy

everything in its path when it

reached the shore.

Also the reactor types are

quite different. Those at

Koeberg are high pressurised

water reactors, with all the

reactor plant installed in very

strong reinforced concrete

containment buildings. The

Fukushima reactors are

relatively low pressure

boiling water type. But,

really, locating those emer-

gency diesel generators below

ground demonstrated a most

remarkable lax in design

professionalism. Who by? I

wont speculate! If those

diesel generators had been

installed well above ground

level, we would never even

have heard of Fukushima.
