Lets face it.  Sipho King's article was intellectually bankrupt.   In one priceless paragraph he detailed how Europeans, in their passages past the Cape (500 to 600 years ago and even before Jan van Riebeeck landed with his merry band of vegetable farmers) called it the Cape of Storms, yet still tried to argue that it was man's presence in that area, together with development, industrialization etc, that resulted in fierce storms of the sort that hit the Cape recently.
