Don’t mess with Capetonians

Posted on 05. Dec, 2005 by Cassandra in Streetflava

It’s like someone secretly opened some kind of imaginary gate somewhere north.

The month of December pulls up and so do millions of out-of-towners. It’s only the beginning of the season and already cars with blue and white GP number plates are tailgating taxis in the slow lanes and parking halfway in the street in a rush to splash in the waters of Camps Bay.

But beware….Capetonians might look docile, pleasing and mild, but wave your 9mm Beretta at them too often and you might ‘accidentally fall off the mountain’.

Jason Collins and his friend made a macabre discovery when they came
across a human skeleton lying on a hidden ledge just metres from the
top of Lion’s Head while getting ready for their descent on Tuesday
night around 6pm.

The remains of the body, seemingly a male, were lying on a large ledge
- together with a faded T-shirt, shorts and his watch. He must have
been a hiker or a tourist.

The skeleton is just bones…so it’s estimated that it’s been lying there for over a year. No missing persons record, no queries….just a dressed skeleton with a watch.
