The Sweet Service Award goes to Marion Taylor Properties, and its owners estate agents Marilyn and daughter Caitlyn, who were the first and most generous Camps Bay residents in responding to my request to Camps Bay residents to support a Camps Bay Clean initiative I have launched, employing homeless persons to clean up litter on the Camps Bay Beachfront area every day over the Festive season, and carrying this through until Easter on a reduced scale. Marion’s motivation is as follows: ‘I am very happy to help and greatly appreciate your efforts and interest in our beautiful suburb. I make a living within the community and feel very happy to give back’. The company has very generously pledged a contribution of R1000 per month until Easter.
The Sour Service Award goes to Pick ‘n Pay Camps Bay, and one of its male managers, who refused to have one of his staff clean up the paper and other litter outside the store, originating from shoppers at the outlet, when I asked him if a cleaner could do so, receiving the wise retort that if it were cleaned now more litter would blow in front of the store with the next gust of the South Easter wind, and walked backed inside the store! So I picked it up, caring for the environment, and attempting to prevent any litter from blowing into the ocean across the road from the store.
