1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Share with us, and she's got the following this morning,

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Welcome Boba.

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: Morning, Clarence. I thought i'd start local, so it can't

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: exactly say that it's gone viral, but it's slowly starting

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: to filter out on so many different Facebook pages, community pages,

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: and more official pages. And that is the Army, the

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: SA andF Finally, after waiting for weeks and weeks and weeks,

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: they've arrived on the ground in Cape Town ahead of

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 2: this deployment that we've been waiting for. And so I

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: think nationally they're deploying two two hundred SA and DEF

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: soldiers to help tackle violent crime and gangsterism in communities.

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: And I think, correct me if I'm wrong. I think

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: we're getting eight hundred of those twenty two hundred in

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: our areas. And yesterday in Balhare there was a parade

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: with Army people and the SAPs and they stood there

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: and they paraded up and done, and they gave a

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: few speeches and obviously we shall see, right they're going

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: to kind of support the police in tackling the crime

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: and the gangsterism. And I know there's a lot of

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: urging for communities to support this endeavor. In this initiative,

21
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: many critics saying what saying, You know, it's never going

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: to help. This is not a help the root cause.

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: But I suppose it gives everyone a breather.

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: I saw some of the videos in the runs and

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: enthusiastically welcome by the kids. So I'm gonna imagine that

26
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: they too, are hoping for just some normality that they

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: can just blame a breather.

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: Right, But as long as they're there, you can plain

29
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: peace and when they leave. The other thing is they

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: took so long to arrive that they gave the gang's

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: ample opportunity to work out other ways of doing their business, right,

32
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: you know, if they're black almost kept it a secret

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: and kind of just arrived very quickly, it might have

34
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: been more beneficial. Yeah, I've given them plenty of time too.

35
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: I think there was a lot of conversation about about

36
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: that that we had here, and we heard from people

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: that know. And maybe just a COVID role alongside an

38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: overdraw because you can see them coming, right, you can

39
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: see them from a mile, But covidly they need to

40
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: unravel the networks of gangs through COVID actions as well,

41
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: and that really this is.

42
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: Just a sort of a yes, yeah.

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: This is just going to displace it. That was the

44
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: argument exactly.

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: And look the visuals. I don't know about you. I

46
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: mean obviously my age. I mean obviously for some people

47
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: are saying this morning in the office, it reminds them

48
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: of COVID, because you remember the army played a role

49
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: there for a while keeping people in lockdown. And then

50
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: for me being so much older, you know, it reminds

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: me of the nineteen eighties. You know, when the troops

52
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: went into the townships and we it was it was

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 2: such a big it was such a terrible thing. Then

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: you know, it was like a civil war kind of

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: thing because they went in there to quell protests and

56
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: we had troops here in Athlon going down Belgravia Road.

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: You know, it was this terrible, terrible time. But sure

58
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 2: that was like in nineteen eighty five. So it's always

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: for me, So for me, it's always so it's just

60
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: it's just kind of quite there's something about seeing troops

61
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: in the township that I find quite hard. I thought

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: cod was just well that's what and COVID we we

63
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: know afterwards there were all those terrible brutalities and people

64
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: over this the soldiers over stepping.

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: People living in shacks. You know, sometimes they make fires

66
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: in their own it's just stay warm. Eight people in

67
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: a shack, just some fresh air. Stepping out and getting beaten.

68
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: Up member for for for not, for not following lockdown.

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm getting angry enough, Okay, let's not. Let's not.

70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the Islands of Orkney have gone banignas.

71
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: So this is, you know, the archipelago of about seventy islands,

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: which is just off the sixteen k's off to the

73
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: north of the Scottish mainland, the Orkney Islands as they known.

74
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: So the story's gone viral because Tesco, that's the big

75
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: department store, one of their buyers accidentally ordered thirty eight

76
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: thousand bananas instead of two five hundred bananas. So they

77
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: ordered instead of three hundred and eighty cag's of bananas,

78
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: they ordered three hundred and eighty boxes with one hundred each,

79
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: and so they've ended up with a lot of bananas,

80
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: and it's caused obviously quite a lot of amusement and

81
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: viral posts about what they should do. What's lovely is

82
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: that the one woman from Tesco in the area who's

83
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: involved in community work has posted that local groups like

84
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: children's homes and football clubs of sports clubs, et cetera,

85
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: Centua must come and get free boxes of banignas, which

86
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: I thought was really sweet, and she's actually posted that

87
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: on the Orkney websites the Orkney Facebook pages to say

88
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: come get your free bananas. And then of course people

89
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: posting on the same website facebook page recipes for banana

90
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: bread because like in Lockdown, you know, we do love

91
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: a banana situation, right, so all the people of Orkney

92
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: are going to be baking and freezing banana bread for

93
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: a long time to come. And then finally a story,

94
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 2: yes as a dog story, but it is actually the

95
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: most amazing video if you do get a chance to

96
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 2: go online and google Molly the border collie. This took

97
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: place in New Zealand over this past a week or so.

98
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: Her human mom was walking out hiking in this gorgeous

99
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: area of New Zealand and fell down a water fall

100
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: fifty five meters in a very remote part of New Zealand,

101
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 2: and she managed to activate her little beacon, her signal beacon.

102
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: Then they rescued her. But by the time she came,

103
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: you know, was rescued. They realized Molly, her Border collie,

104
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: was lost. They couldn't find Molly. They looked and looked,

105
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: they couldn't find Molly. And so five days later, so

106
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: they put out a whole thing and there was a

107
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: rescue helicopter that said they'd get involved, but it's incredibly expensive,

108
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: and they put out a call and the community donated

109
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: money and so the rescue. Various volunteers came who involved

110
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: in a rescue with infrared and devices and things like that,

111
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: and she was Eventually they saw a little blip and

112
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: they went down there and they found Molly had been

113
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: sheltering at the bottom of the waterfall for five days.

114
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: And the video of them rescuing her is just so beautiful.

115
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: This guy who's one of the volunteers, he came with

116
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: his little Jack Russell called Bingo, who's like an emotional

117
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: support rescue dog. The little jackan on and they got

118
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: into that area and Molly was just so calm. You

119
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 2: think after five days she'd be so traumatized, and little

120
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: Bingo kind of like connected with her and he grabs

121
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: both of them and he goes on the rocks, these

122
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: wet rocks, and the helicopter comes down and he climbs

123
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: into the helicopter with both of them. There's a whole

124
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: video of this. I mean, I mean, I'm giving you

125
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: all the details. I mean, you can see there in

126
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: that one picture. I'm just showing your Karen's there, he's

127
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: got he's to the two of them, and they climbing

128
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: and then they get to ground eventually, and the mom

129
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: is there and Moddy just runs to her and she

130
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: hugs it and she starts crying. I mean, you can

131
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: imagine how she felt after five days of thinking her

132
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: dog was gone.

133
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

134
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I know there's a lot going

135
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: on in the world. I know that, but I feel

136
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: like these stories make moggy, yes, and we should just

137
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: sometimes anker ourselves a little bit and go. You know,

138
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: people are still good and caring, and they volunteered their services,

139
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: all these rescue people, and they went all the way

140
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: into this remote area, and.

141
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: So Molly had water fortunately, right, Well.

142
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: You think Molly managed to drink out of the river. Yeah, food,

143
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: she muster she wouldn't have survived, would you say? You

144
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: see so operate like I might have been thinking that,

145
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, how did she survive for five days? But

146
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: it doesn't look like she went very far though, so

147
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: unless she managed to kind of walk out of those

148
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: rocks because she was under little art crop, it looks

149
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: quite precarious. I mean, could day saying they think she

150
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: just stayed there for five days, but she looked she

151
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: did look like she was still kind of functioning.

152
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: So okay, Bob's wire my nas through Thursdays after nine o'clock.
