Salmonsdam Nature Reserve

Salmonsdam Nature Reserve is a nature reserve in the Overberg region of the Western Cape province of South Africa.

Friemersheim is a settlement in Garden Route District Municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa. A small agricultural community about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Groot-Brakrivier, Friemersheim was founded by a German missionary in the early 19th century. In 1869, through the efforts of Reverend Johann Kretzen of the Berliner Missionary Society, a school and church were built on the farm Gonnakraal, which Kretzen had bought for his sister.

Leuchtturm Slangkop

p4 Der Leuchtturm Slangkop (afrikaans: Schlangenkopf), in Südafrika als Slangkop Lighthouse bezeichnet, ist ein Leuchtturm im Ort Kommetjie in der Provinz Westkap auf der Kaphalbinsel, an deren südlichem Ende das Kap der Guten Hoffnung und der Cape Point liegen. Das Leuchtfeuer soll Schiffe vor den Felsen und Riffen in Küstennähe warnen und ist das größte gusseiserne Bauwerk für diesen Zweck in Südafrika. Es wurde 1919 in Betrieb genommen. Geschichte Im Mai 1900 lief das Dampfschiff Kakapo vor der felsigen Küste der Kaphalbinsel auf Grund, weil der Kapitän des Schiffes den wenige Kilometer nördlich gelegenen Chapmans Peak für das Kap gehalten hatte. Eine Kommission unter dem Vorsitz des Gouverneurs der Kapregion, Sir Francis Hely Hutchinson, beschloss daraufhin am 29. September 1906, durch den Bau eines Leuchtturms die Schiffsbesatzungen vor dieser Gefahr zu warnen. Am 4. März 1919 wurde der metallene Rundturm mit einer Feuerhöhe von 41 Metern und einer Feuerträgerhöhe von 33 Metern in Betrieb genommen. Zunächst waren immer drei Wärter gleichzeitig mit dem Betrieb betraut. Im Jahr 1979 wurde die Technik so modernisiert, dass der Turm ohne Personal betrieben werden könnte. Trotzdem ist der Turm ständig von einem lighthouse officer besetzt. Leuchtfeuer Als Kennung strahlt Slangkop Lighthouse alle 30 Sekunden vier weiße Lichtblitze (Fl(4)W.30s) mit einer Lichtstärke von 5 Mio. Candela aus. Die Tragweite beträgt etwa 30–33 Seemeilen. Das elektrische Leuchtfeuer kann bei Ausfall der Stromversorgung durch ein Stromerzeugungsaggregat weiterbetrieben werden. Weblinks Einzelnachweise

Somerset Hospital (Cape Town)

The Somerset Hospital is a regionall hospital in the Green Point area of Cape Town, South Africa opened in 1864 and has been declared a provincial heritage site. The hospital replaced one of the same name in Chiapinni Street, which had been founded by Dr Samuel Bailey in 1818 as the first civilian hospital in Cape Town. It was named after Lord Charles Somerset the governor of the Cape Colony who gave land for the construction. The Chavonnes Battery was used as an isolation and convalescent wing. The cornerstone for the new hospital was laid on 18 August 1859 by the Cape Governor Sir George Grey. In addition to the appointment of medical staff, nurses were recruited from the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, St Thomas' Hospital in London including Sister Helen Bowden, who in 1877 became the first fully qualified nurse to be appointed as Matron of Somerset Hospital. Subsequently, the hospital established its own nurse training school, becoming the first hospital to train non-white nurses. From 1918 until 1937, when the Groote Schuur Hospital opened it was the main academic hospital of the University of Cape Town. A new West Wing opened in 1973 for white patients. The old building was renamed the north wing, not because of their position but the N meant for non-white patients and the W of West Wing signified that it was for Whites. The high incidence of HIV infections amongst the patients led to the establishment of the hospital as a prime referral centre for the treatment of AIDS. Since then various plans have been announced for the development of the grounds including hotels, offices and residential accommodation. The hospital is also home to the Cape Medical Museum. In 2008 the hospital appealed for funds from local businesses to establish a new trauma unit and a ward for women suffering from a spontaneous miscarriage. In 2010 it opened a new measles ward following a rise in measles cases in Cape Town. In 2010 a studio was built, along with its own lift, on the top of the hospital for use by BBC presenters during 2010 FIFA World Cup matches at the nearby stadium. Additionally in 2010 plans were announced to move the hospital to a new site in the northern sector of the city, to serve the densely populated West Coast region. Coat of arms The hospital assumed a coat of arms in the late 1950s and registered it at the Bureau of Heraldry in 1970 : Per pale, dexter Gules, three annulets Or and sinister barry of six Azure and Argent. The registered blazon incorrectly gives the sinister side as "barry of six Argent and Azure". References External links Site by Somerset Hospital, Green Point, Cape Town , at SAHRA
