Disa
Time!
This
member
of
the
orchid
family,
the
red
disa
(Disa
uniflora)
has
a
fascinating
pollination
system.
It
is
pollinated
exclusively
by
the
mountain
pride
butterfly
(Meneris
tulbaghia).
While
most
insects
cannot
see
red,
the
mountain
pride
butterfly
is
only
attracted
to
this
colour.
Reserves
such
as
Limietberg,
Jonkershoek
and
Kogelberg
are
good
destinations
if
you
seek
the
beautiful
red
disa.
Look
for
it
along
the
edges
of
streams
and
in
rock
crevices
that
get
water.
The
red
disa
flowers
from
January
through
to
March,
so
don’t
miss
the
chance
to
see
it
in
bloom.

Even
Nosy Rosy was forced to take her head
out of the" Romantic little Village "
- Ostrich hole - to look up and see that
Hermanus is not the small sleepy hollow
little
fishing village where sheep provided
meat and lawn mowing for Hermanus
Pieters any more. Wanting that back is
as futile as wanting your youth back.
The graceful thing to do is accept the
fact and become a positive part in
planning the inevitable progress. We
have grown to more than a little town
and the Live the Life Church shared
their beautiful vision in an honourable
pro-active approach by inviting all the
movers and shakers in Hermanus to an
evening of fact sharing. We Salute this
church and all the people who worked
so hard at organising a super successful

Opreration BRAKENJAN
Since then
thousands of dogs and cats have been fed
and, with public support,
will continue to be fed. Some of the
animals are fed daily, and others twice
weekly by 84-year old Joyce Rawstorn,
who’s become known to all the animals in
Zwelihle as an angel in disguise. They
know the sound of her car so well, as
soon as they hear her coming, they run
after her like the rats in the story of
the Pied Piper.
The Hermanus Times appreciates
the continued support from the animal
loving community, especially the stores
that set aside special trolleys for
donations. Without the efforts of Pick n
Pay, Eastcliff Spar, Gateway Spar,
7/11 Onrus and Bay Bargain Centre in the
industrial area, Brakkenjan would not
be the success it is today.
Also a big thank you to the
restaurants’ that donate their leftovers
to Joyce, it makes the food last longer
when mixed with pellets. The animals
rely on the charity of others, as for
some of them it is the only way to get
food because their owners are struggling
themselves. Some of the dogs and cats do
not even have the “luxury” of an owner
and they depend entirely on the food
Joyce and Annelie deliver.
If you would like to make a
contribution, please leave a bag or tin
of pet food in the trolleys provided at
the shops mentioned above. Know that any
donation, large or small, is carefully
handed out and fed to dogs and cats that
need it desperately. For more info,
Janine van der Riet can be contacted on
082 885 0226.
