The Ocean View Property blog and Chas Everitt wish all our Ocean View residents a very happy Heritage Day.
On Heritage Day we are encouraged to celebrate the cultures, belief and traditions that make us proudly South African.
“When our first democratically elected government decided to make Heritage Day one of our national days, we did so because we knew that our rich and varied cultural heritage has a profound power to help build our new nation”. ~ Nelson Mandela
The first ever Bread Run takes place in Ocean View on Sunday 21 September. Bikers will donate loaves of bread to needy families.
The event kicks off at 10:00 at the corner of Hydra and Milky Way, Ocean View.
Instead of attending a church service, congregants of a local church will assist in distributing bread in different areas of the community.
The loaf of bread will be given along with a letter of hope to each family. The aim is to bring hope to a community ravaged with drug addiction, poverty and killings.
National Braai Day and Heritage Day are on Wednesday, 24th September, and Noordhoek Farm Village celebrates both occasions on this proudly South African National Holiday by hosting the increasingly popular annual Heritage Day Potjiekos Challenge at Noordhoek Farm Village, where 11 teams will fight it out for the coveted title of Best Potjie 2014.
Teams will begin cooking from 10h00, with potjies ready by 15h00 for final judging at 16h30, whereafter helpings of the contestants’ delicious potjie offerings will be sold for R30 per bowl. The money we raise will be donated to Open Door NPO in Ocean View, who assist the youth in Ocean View with a dedicated soup kitchen, counselling and activities to keep the kids off the street and safe.
For more information on this year’s potjie entrants and Open Door NPO, follow the link.
There will also be an auction of various goodies at 13h00 to raise funds for Noordhoek Tourism, which provides a valuable service to locals and tourists alike. Come along and see if anything takes your fancy!
Cost: Free entry, however there will be a charge of R30 per bowl of potjie, with proceeds being donated to their chosen charity.
A Fish Hoek man accused of murdering Crystal Newman from Ocean View has been released on bail.
Neman’s body was discovered by SANparks workers wrapped in a blue sheet and dumped in bushes near Red Hill Road two weeks ago.
Newman had a bump to the head and the right side of her face was swollen.
The man was arrested after a third party allegedly reported him to police.
Newman was buried on Saturday 23 August where a placard demonstration was held.
The man appeared in the Simon’s Town Magistrate’s Court on Monday 25 August and the case was postponed to Monday 1 September. During this time he remained in custody at Pollsmoor Prison.
Police spokesperson Captain Stephen Knapp confirmed the man was released on R1000 bail.
Newman’s friends and family attended the court proceedings. The man has not yet pleaded.
Knapp says bail was not opposed by police and the next appearance is on Friday 28 November.
