Durban – Adventurer Sean Wisedale, in the news for rousing the leafy suburb of Glenwood at dawn on Sunday with a tirade against his neighbours, culminating with him smashing down a gate with his car, says he plans to move out. <\/p>\n
Speaking outside the Durban Magistrate\u2019s Court where he appeared on charges of disturbing the peace, malicious injury to property and drunk driving on Monday, he (with his wife Katherine Rowan at his side) revealed a long-term plan to pack up with their two-year-old daughter and move to eMdloti, north of Durban. <\/p>\n
\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a lot to do before it can happen,\u201d Wisedale said, \u201cBut we recently bought land there.\u201d <\/p>\n
The pending move had nothing to do with the ongoing feud in which Wisedale and his neighbours were embroiled, he explained. <\/p>\n
He and Rowan wanted to move closer to the airport because Wisedale travelled regularly. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we love the North Coast,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
In what his neighbours have described as the latest in a series of outbursts, 47-year-old Wisedale was arrested outside his home after Sunday\u2019s incident and released later in the day on bail of R1 000. <\/p>\n
Battered and bruised, he appeared briefly in court on Monday. <\/p>\n
He told the court he had suffered injuries to his eye, lip and ribs at the hands of an angry mob. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was being hounded by Blue Security, the police and my neighbours so I tried to run away but they caught me and beat me up,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The matter was postponed until February. <\/p>\n
Wisedale has accused neighbours Sean and Janet Simons of running an illegal self-catering establishment from their property. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe noise is unbearable\u2026 None of the other neighbours can appreciate it because they don\u2019t hear it like we do,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
He simply \u201clost it\u201d on Sunday. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know it was radical and I shouldn\u2019t have done it,\u201d he said, \u201cBut I am at the end of my wits.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sean Simons said on Monday night that he and his wife legally rented out a cottage on their property to a professional young couple. \u201cWe\u2019ve never had any problems with them, nor have any of the other neighbours,\u201d he said, \u201cThey\u2019re lovely.\u201d <\/p>\n
Wisedale is a well-known film-maker, mountaineer and motivational speaker. <\/p>\n
He was the first South African to climb the Seven Summits and recently returned from Russia where he led an expedition up Mt Elbrus. <\/p>\n
