Statue on the rocks

A large white statue, in the form of a man with his hands outstretched, has for the past few days stood on the rocks just outside the Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa in Victoria Road near Oudekraal.

Now for the silly bit:
An investigation would soon be launched to determine who put the statue up and how they went about it.

A boat would be sent out to see what it was made of as soon as one became available.

Sieben said permission had not been given to place any structure on the rocks, about 300 metres from the road.

If permission had been sought for it, it wouldn't have been granted, Sieben said. Any structure proposed for below the high-level mark needed to be subject to a complete environmental impact assessment.
