We are going to continue with the good work of Trudi Malan and her committee ideology of working on a project-based system as opposed to a reactive or police system. Our macro projects are:
1) looking after the beach and amenities thereof
2) village security,
3) signage and sign posts in the village,
4) traffic control/dampening in hotspots, being at the village centre, as well as at the Resort/Rock Lily downhill, and
5) ongoing Civics membership drive, communication, and synergy opportunities with FOSTER and Seal Point Boardriders Surf Club.

- Civics did an upgrade at the main beach ablutions with the tidy up of the lifeguard’s store, changing the locks –thanks to Bob Meikle, installing an alarm – thanks to Lynn Edwards from Calibre.
- With a bit of constant reminding the R330 road verge between Cape St Francis and St Francis bay was cleaned and cut back, we have an ongoing maintenance plan with FOSTER that will hopefully keep the overgrowth at bay. The Miles family still does a great job at clearing litter along the road once a month so thank you to them
- The municipality provided lifeguards for the duration of the high season which was great, however they were unfortunately very under equipped and without accommodation. Thank you to Rob Smith and Haydn Holmes for getting them sorted with equipment etc. and also The CSF Resort for offering accommodation.
- Civics employed Benny and Beauty to keep control of dogs on the beach as well as to clean up at the ablutions, parking areas, beaches and benches. Nick Schoeman volunteered to manage them season 2018/2019.
- Traffic control measures were improved at the village CBD and between Rock Lily and Cape St Francis Resort with a painted pedestrian crossing. Please be on the lookout when driving there.
- All those that helped with water saving signage and tips and a big thank you to all our members that keep Civics going through your memberships and donations.
Please feel free to communicate on the email account. It’s not really meant to be an outlet to release, vent or complain but more a portal for the sharing of ideas, encouragement, possible advice and strategies on how to keep our village as cool and as unique as it is.

Older projects before August 2016
Gravel Roads: After extensive consultation with Ray Parker from Engineering Advice and Services regarding the conditions of gravel roads in Cape St Francis it became clear that if we do not act now, the gravel roads will become un-drivable in the near future. We therefore decided to invest the bulk of our available funds in the complete upgrade of the gravel roads in Cape St Francis. Part of the contract includes the ripping & repair of the very bad parts of Da Gama Road.
The municipality will be providing the required material. The suppliers will start delivering the material from Wednesday 25 November 2015 and the road crew will come on site on Monday 30 November for a period of 4 days.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience during the construction period but at least the roads will be in a better condition.
A massive word of thanks to Ray Parker & his team for their contribution to this project. The Cape st Francis Civic Association will be spending a total of R80 000.00 on the road upgrade project and a further R20 000.00 on beach cleaning, road cleaning and lifesavers. Your membership contributions make all of this possible. We will shortly be sending invoices for the new membership year, please continue your support to allow the village to stay clean, green & small.
