Today’s review is based on the stunned silence that has greeted readers of the Cape Times this week. For the entire week, the maritime industry has gone unmentioned, which must mean that there have been no major maritime events worth reporting.

Members of the Department of Agricultre, Forestry and Fisheries have decided to play nice for a whole week and the results of the long awaited public protectors report, investigating alleged corruption within the fisheries department, have still not been released.

All of this would seem highly unlikely, but let us enjoy the calm before the storm.
