The Sweet Service Award goes to PnP Clothing in The Point in Sea Point, and its staff member Clemenshaw Petersen, who collected two pairs of shorts in my size from their Kenilworth branch on his day off, and brought them to the Sea Point Branch so that I could collect them there. He called me the day before to confirm that he would do so, keeping me informed.

The Sweet Service Award goes to the City of Cape Town, for its spare electricity, which has lessened the Loadshedding outages for Cape Town, taking us down one Stage, often leading to no outages in Stages 1 and 2, particularly beneficial when the Loadshedding is scheduled for the evening. On a day in the past week the Loadshedding in our area was meant to last until 22h30, but the power was switched back on at 21h00. 
The Sweet Service Award goes to Woolworths Camps Bay, and its Managers Yibanathi, who walked me through the store with his cellphone Torch when the store was in darkness during Lockdown earlier this week. The Promenade building has a generator, and has power in all its outlets during Lockdown, but on this day the lights in the Woolworths store were not working. When my shopping was complete, he walked me to the tills, which fortunately were working. 
The Sweet Service Award goes to Camps Bay Law Enforcement and its acting head Officer Ivor Ramsay, a breath of fresh air who landed in our suburb during the start of Lockdown. The office has been very poorly manned in the two years since I returned to live in Camps Bay, and one rarely sees any officers walking the Promenade, which means that illegal trading, begging, unlicensed vehicles, alcohol consumption on the beaches, and littering go unchecked. A homeless person Michael Shange, who has been aggressively begging locals for contributions to his ‘Beach cleaning’ activity in Camps Bay in the past two months, but just taking the money and not cleaning, and has been seen walking along Camps Bay intoxicated, is being dealt with by the office, following a number of harassment complaints it has received from locals.
