FRESH APPROACH TO LOCAL NEWS

tameTIMESTWO TIME WINNER OF THE ANNUAL EKURHULENI AWARDS: BEST PRINT MEDIA

Last week two separate incidents of thieves pouncing on school learners occurred in the Mondeor policing area. Fortunately the Randeor School and Abbotts College learners were not harmed by the petty thieves and the suspects in both incidents were arrested.The first incident took place on 22 January in Voster Avenue, Glenanda when three learners from Abbotts College were walking home from school.A male suspect approached them and demanded their cell phones, threatening to stab them.According to Kayde Francey of D&D Tactical

Security the one girl learner managed to hide her phone and posted what was happening on the Glenanda CPF chat group. Francey as well as Glenvista, Mulbarton and Glenanda CPF patrollers responded immediately. The suspect ran towards the N12 highway but was eventually caught. The stolen cell phones were retrieved and the learners positively identified the suspect. However no knife was found on him.“The 25-year-old suspect was arrested for common robbery and appeared in court last Thursday,” Cst Elizabeth Mnguni, Mondeor SAPS spokesperson confirmed.The second incident occurred in the early

morning of 23 January in Seder Street, Winchester Hills. Learners from Randeor School ran to the Shell garage seeking refuge from two suspects armed with knives. The same modis operandi was used where the suspects threatened to stab them if they didn’t give their cell phones to them.A petrol attendant was quick to respond by pressing the panic button. Hercules Alarms responded and was given a description of the suspects. Hercules officers gave chase and nabbed the two suspects behind the garage. Both were armed with a knife. Cst Mnguni said that the two suspects, aged

18 and 20 years of age, were arrested for possession of dangerous weapons and possession of stolen property. Cst Mnguni requests that all learners who walk home from school must please not parade their cell phones. She adds that even if your cell phone is hidden in your pocket, wearing ear phones is like an invitation to criminals to prey on you to steal what you are listening to you. Well done to D&D Tactical Security and Hercules Alarms and the CPFs involved in the successful arrests. Your hard work in protecting the community does not go unnoticed.

Sharing in Ocean Basket’s voyageEvery person has to enjoy their job, and luckily for me I do. I am very blessed to be afforded the opportunity to attend interesting and sometimes luxurious events, obviously with the notion of me writing about it.Last week I got to spend a day sharing in Ocean Basket’s voyage and got to meet the founders of this well-known franchise - George and Fats Lazarides. How many people can say that?What this entailed was meeting at the Ocean Basket in Melville, which is still dressed in the original Ocean Basket decor and always will be. Media were welcomed with lovely platters of sushi (I declined as I don’t eat sushi).Manny Nichas, the director of the Ocean Basket group, and George Lazarides, the founding partner, told the story behind the growth and development of Ocean Basket. After this we travelled on bus, where we were treated to some bubbly (once again I declined. By this time I am sure the PR company was thinking, ‘why did we invite her?’), to Menlyn Park Shopping Centre to the first Ocean Basket store ever opened, where we had lunch.Here we met Fats, brother to George and the leader of the business, as well as Grace Harding, who is responsible for the overall running of the business. She is the rose among all the Ocean Basket thorns. So what did I learn from the day, besides being reminded that I am a lover of prawns. Well the first Ocean Basket opened in 1995. They currently have 176 stores in nine territories (7 in Cyprus, 2 in Mauritius, 2 in Dubai, 1 in Nigeria, 1 in Gabarone, 2 in Swaziland, 3 in Namibia, 1 in Lesotho and 2 in Zambia). However their target for 2017 is to have 300 stores in 16 territories. They will be taking their wildly successful concept to the rest of Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Ocean Basket has bagged the award for most loved restaurant in Cyprus last year and recently were awarded the International Hotel and Restaurant Quality Award in Madrid. No wonder Ocean Basket is South Africa’s largest chain of seafood restaurants.The best for me was when we climbed back on the bus to find two delicious Baklava on our seats, waiting to be eaten - this item I did not decline but ate happily on my way back to Johannesburg.@laurellewilliam laurelle@tametimes.co.za

May he be granted good health for the rest of his living years,” Nicky Vakaloudis, CEO of SOJO said.

Willie is back

WELCOME BACK: Willie Ferreira is back working at SOJO after a health scare.

On 4 February people from all over the world will dedicate their thoughts and time to cancer survivors and sufferers around the world. This year, the theme of World Cancer Day is “debunk the myths around cancer.” The aim is to disillusion the public about false beliefs surrounding cancer, and to substitute these with the correct knowledge they need to detect cancer earlier rather than later.World Cancer Day started in 2000, at the first World Summit Against Cancer that was held in Paris. The intention was, and still is today, to increase global awareness of cancer, to commit to improving the quality of life of cancer patients and to acknowledge the need for continued investment in and advancement of cancer research, prevention, and treatment. World Cancer Day has come to represent an annual reaffirmation of the importance of these goals.According to Prof Michael Herbst, Head of Health at CANSA, cancer awareness has become exceedingly important in the 21st century. “While there have been numerous advancements in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer, factors that should contribute to the decline of the

disease, the number of new cancer cases diagnosed each year has globally continued to increase,” Prof Herbst explains.Erika Marais, a nurse at the CANSA Alberton branch, says that what makes cancer so dangerous is that it is an illness that starts within (cells that function abnormally), which makes it much more difficult to prevent. There is also no one test that can determine whether you have cancer at all, or not. One has to run specific tests for specific cancers in order to spot them. This is why cancer knowledge and identifying warning signs are so important.Make 4 February your day to make a difference in the fight against cancer. Do something special for a cancer patient or celebrate life with a cancer survivor, and spread messages around causes and prevention of cancer.Nurse Marais calls on all community members who are willing to volunteer at CANSA to contact her on 087 940 8097. They have various community awareness projects planned for World Cancer Day. If you have more enquiries regarding cancer, contact nurse Marais, or dial the CANSA toll-free number on 0800 22 66 22, or visit their website for more information.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has received over 300 e-toll billing complaints from the public since the call to submit queries to them. This is ahead of the DA’s intended submission to the National Consumer Commission. Below are a few of the bizarre complaints the political party have received: • A resident in the Western Cape who has not travelled on Gauteng’s roads since the implementation of e-tolling has received two invoices to date, one of which was for a motorcycle, when in fact her only vehicle is a Corsa Lite car. • A resident received a sms from SANRAL to say that he owes R00.00 and has been handed over to the VPC• People who do not even own a vehicle or have a drivers licence are receiving sms’s from SANRAL with outstanding debt. One of these sms’s was for an amount of R1362.63

• Many people have received a final sms warning without having received an official invoice• Gauteng residents who do not travel on tolled roads are receiving sms’s for final pay notices from SANRAL

The most common complaints are people not receiving invoices, incorrect amounts for actual travel and bills going to people who have not travelled recently. Mmusi Maimane, the DA Gauteng Premier Candidate said, “It is clear that the billing system is not working. Not only is the e-tolling system unjust in its implementation but residents are now faced with mounting billing challenges. I want to encourage people to submit their billing complaints to us by sending an e-mail to enocentn@da.org.za or tweeting a picture of their sms or bill @DA_News using the hashtag #No2etolls.”Maimane will take these complaints to the National Consumer Commission as part of his plan to fight e-tolling at every turn, both now and if elected Premier of Gauteng in 2014.

E-toll billing complaints pour in

Information gathered from CANSA

On Saturday 25 January hundreds of bikers and vehicles in Johannesburg South protested against the e-toll system. The protestors gathered at the Portuguese Hall, situated on the corner of Wemmer Pan and Victoria Road, and made their way onto the highway from the Comaro on-ramp.Many bikers covered or even removed their number plates in protest against the e-toll system. Other protestors had their vehicle hazard lights on and displayed “proudly e-tag free” stickers in their windows. The protestors continued north towards Pretoria, passing through all the gantries. The SAPS and Metro Police also followed the strike and lead the protestors from the beginning to the end of the route. Various online invitations advertising the strike appeared on social media, such as Facebook, and

internet sites a few days before and up until the strike. “Take a stand against this corrupt and unjust system,” and “highway robbery” were among the verbal protests posted on many of these pages.

Depression (2)Last week we started our discussion on depression, and distinguished between three different concepts of depression, namely symptom, syndrome and disorder. This week we discuss disorder.A disorder impacts not only the person’s behaviour but also causes a significant impairment in functioning as it persists over a longer period of time. This kind of depression is deeper entrenc hed, handicapping the person to rationally think and deal with their current problems and emotions. Often decisions made in this phase, are highly regretted later on. This kind of depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the body and are often hereditary. Distinctions can be made between various types of depression disorders, of which Bipolar are most probably the best known. A psychologist can diagnose a depression disorder. It is also best to consult a psychiatrist for medical treatment of a disorder.Jahwe Rapha Councelling centre can be contacted on 082 495 8401.

As ek so kyk na die kinders van vandag dan verwonder ek my aan hoe my kinderjare verskil van hulle s’n. Ons het ‘n hele ander idee van vermaak gehad. Ek onthou nog duidelik hoe ek en my boeties skelmpies perskes gepluk het uit ons bure se perskebome, en sodra ons oom Sarel met die een houtbeen hoor aangeskoffel kom het en roep “julle klein klitse!” dan het ons ‘n vinnige lyn gesny oor die muur, so dat jy net stofbolle sien trek het. Die dogtertjies het weer vir ure buite met rek om die bene “England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales” gespeel en spookstories vertel in die nag. Ons kinders sou soms ook vir ure weg wees op ons fietse en tok-tokkie die buurt deur speel.Maar o wee, ek is bevrees dat my kleinkinders en agt erkleinkinders uitmis op hierdie avonture, omdat hulle al hoe minder belangstel in verbeelding en meer staat maak op hulle selfone en rekenaarspeletjies vir vermaak. Dit is nou wel die elektroniese en tegnologiese era en ek sal nie ontken dat e-posse en selfone die lewe in baie opsigte ook geriefliker gemaak het nie. As ek met enigiemand moet kommunikeer dan kan ek binne sekondes al my boodskap by hulle uitkry. Dit spaar my beslis rookseine en posduiwe! Ek onthou hoe ek in die verlede toe Gysie op die grens was vir maande geduldig moes wag om ‘n briefie of twee van hom af te ontvang in die pos. Nee kyk, dit was maar anderste tye daardie. Ons het werklik geweet hoe om ons verbeelding aan te wend. Ek onthou nog hoe ek en my familie opgewonde voor die ou draadloos gesit en luister het na Niel Armstrong se aankoms op die maan, waar ons geen visuele beelde gehad het nie en self moes dink hoe dit op die maan sou lyk. Soos wat een generasie oud word, is dit seker tyd om sekere tradisies af te skaf en nuwes aan te leer. Ek is redelik eng as dit by sekere dinge kom, soos om skottelgoed met die hand te was (ek glo nie in skottelgoedwassers nie) maar ek het darem ‘n selfoon en ek kan met trots sê dat ek e-posse en sms’e kan stuur. My kleinkinders het my mooi touwys gemaak. Tip: Die wêreld gaan vandag so vinnig vooruit, maak seker dat jy jou kinders nog leer hoe om eenvoudig net kinders te wees, wat nog boom klim en maaltafels ken en hulle verbeelding kan gebruik. Anders, wat gaan die ouers maak as die beurtkrag inskop? Dalk sal ‘n spookstorietjie of twee tog handig kom.

Imagine it really didn’t matter if you voted or not. Imagine votes really didn’t count, or worse, imagine scores of South Africans did not wake up on 27 April 1994. Now stop imagining because the truth is that every vote counts and the only better tomorrow will be influenced by those who follow the guidelines; register to vote, then vote.Even though I set out to discuss the importance of voting, I quickly realised we vote every day. For what more is voting if it isn’t choosing the direction in which you want your life’s ship to sail? What more is voting if it isn’t deciding what you like over what you dislike?The real question about voting should actually be a question which addresses choices, and that is where, in my opinion, many in our beloved South Africa miss the point. Choosing should always be premised on the individual’s ability to process information as an individual. Many of my countrymen find themselves devoted to old teachings or for the religiously inclined; faithful to old commandments. Being stuck in old ways fails the progress of the entire nation, but that is hardly the worst consequence; the worst is that the growth of the individual is severely compromised.The most disturbing reality I’ve observed in our generation is the lack of interest in the options available to voters. How does one make an intelligent decision without scrutinizing the offerings? As almost all the colours that represent our political landscape have been recently delivering their manifestos and holding rallies, I question the number of ‘new’ faces at these gatherings. Are there any who attend with an open mind ready to be swayed, or have the minds been made up? In short, I just want to know what informs the vote. Do I vote green because I don’t like orange, or do I vote green because I’ve actually considered what both are offering and have as an individual decided that green represents my ideals? I’ve asked many questions, even to myself, but the only answer I’ve managed to knit together expresses that real democracy values the individual. I strongly believe that once the individual has chosen to vote (which I encourage), the individual should do so as a free thinker, uninfluenced by anything other than the knowledge of the choices.Folks remember 8 and 9 February represent the last chance for those of you who haven’t registered to vote, so register and then get to know what choices are available before making the mark on the ballot.Let’s chat. Send me your comments at voice@tametimes.co.za or tweet me @nietovoice.

In 2014, South Africa will not only celebrate 20 years of freedom from apartheid, it will also hold the country’s fifth national democratic elections. With the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) announcing a second and final round of voter registration on 8 and 9 February.

WHEN WILL THE ELECTIONS BE HELD? The elections must take place some time in 2014, but the final date will only be known once the president has proclaimed it in the Government Gazette.

WHO MAY VOTE? To be eligible to vote, you must: Be a South African citizen. Be at least 18 years old. Have a green bar-coded ID book, or an ID smartcard, or a temporary identity certificate. These are all issued by the Department of Home Affairs. Finally, you may only vote if you are registered on the voters’ roll.

HOW DO I REGISTER TO VOTE? Any time before the president proclaims

the date of the election, you can register at your local IEC municipal office – but you must first contact the office and make an appointment. The IEC has a list of municipal offices with all the contact details you need. On the weekend of 8 to 9 February, you can register from 08:00 to 17:00 at the voting station for your voting district. Find your voting station using the map on the IEC website, or phone 0800 11 8000 on Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00.

DO I HAVE TO REGISTER BEFORE EVERY ELECTION? Unless you have moved into a new voting district, you only have to register once. If you have moved, you have to register for your new district. If you remain on the voters’ roll for your old voting district, you will only be able to vote at your old voting station. You may have to register again if your voting district changes.

HOW DO I CHECK IF I AM CORRECTLY REGISTERED TO VOTE? You can check if you are registered to vote, and for the right district, in a number of ways:

Send an SMS with your ID number to 32810. Check your voter registration details online – this will also give you the address of your voting station. Phone the IEC’s call centre on 0800 11 8000 – this is toll-free if you phone from a landline. Check at your voting station during the registration weekend of 8 to 9 February. Check at your local municipal electoral office during office hours.

HOW OLD MUST I BE TO REGISTER? Even though you may only vote if you are 18 or older, you may register on the voters’ roll from the age of 16.

FIND OUT WHERE YOUR VOTING DISTRICT IS?Find your voting station using the map on the IEC website. Or, contact your local DA Councillor:-Ward 23, Clr Pail Smit - 086 649 8638Ward 54, Clr Sergio dos Santos - 082 394 4053Ward 55, Clr Rashida Landis - 083 752 6468

CAN I REGISTER IF I’M CURRENTLY LIVING OUTSIDE SOUTH AFRICA? Yes, all South Africans with a valid South African ID and a valid South African passport is allowed to register. Overseas registrations close on 7 February 2014. Find out more on the IEC website.

HOW DO I REGISTER FROM OVERSEAS? Go to your nearest South African embassy, high commission or diplomatic mission with your valid ID and passport. Note that you can’t register with only your passport – you must have your ID document as well. Both documents must be valid.

CAN I VOTE BEFORE I LEAVE SOUTH AFRICA? If you will be overseas on Election Day and would like to vote in South Africa a few days beforehand, you can apply for a special vote at your municipal electoral office.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I REGISTER? Go to your voting station, municipal electoral office or, if voting overseas, your diplomatic mission. Fill in the Application for Registration as a Voter form. Your ID book will be scanned.A bar-coded sticker will be pasted in your ID book. Note that completing the form and receiving a bar-coded sticker doesn’t mean that you’re registered; it only means that you’ve applied for registration. Your application must still be processed, which may take up to seven working days.

Preparation for the upcoming elections: RegisterI’m registered to vote...

tame TIMES Page 907 August 2012 Page 928 January 2014 tame TIMES

South Africa is preparing for a second voter registration weekend where citizens can register at their nearest voting station. This is in anticipation of the National and Provincial Elections, which is scheduled to take place in April or May. But what is this all about? Didn’t we just have elections only three years ago? Every five years elections are held where all registered voters can vote for the party of their choice, who sends their representatives to Parliament. This election is known as the National Elections. On the same day, another election is also held, elections for the Provincial Legislatures. Here too registered voters are able to vote for the party of their choice that also sends their representatives to Provincial Legislatures. Provincial Legislatures are the Province’s Parliament. This is why voters receive two ballots when they arrive at their voting station to vote. The more votes a party gets the more seats, or Members of Parliament or Members of the Legislature, the party will be allocated proportionally. Only South African citizens who are registered to vote get onto the voters roll and are thus eligible to vote. You only register once off as a voter and are not required to register every time there is another election. However, if you have previously registered and have since moved to a different address you are required to go to the nearest voting station nearest to your new address to advise the IEC (Electoral Commission) of your move and therefore the new voting station that you are allocated to. This will ensure that you are on the voters roll for that particular voting station. Once you are registered as a voter you are permitted to vote in any subsequent election. On average about two years after the General and Provincial Elections, Local Government Elections (LGE) are held. This explains why 2011 elections were LGE. LGE are a little different, as instead of receiving only one ballot as you do for Parliament and the Provincial Legislatures, in LGE a voter is given two ballots. One ballot provides the voter the opportunity to vote for the party of their choice. Here too, just like the National and Provincial Election, parties send their representatives off a list proportionally. However, this accounts for only half of the councillors elected. The other 50% of councillors are directly elected off the second ballot. These elected councillors serve as your councillor in a demarcated area called a ward. A ward is usually a collection of adjoining areas and suburbs.

The IEC works hard at encouraging more and more people to register so that the number of voters is as large as possible. The November voter registration weekend appears to have been a success. IEC statistics indicate that there was a good turn up of people to register. In Gauteng alone over 242 000 new registrations were

recorded on the registration weekend. This is good news all round as this solidifies our democracy and ensures that more people make direct decisions about the people that will be representing them in the various legislatures. The IEC has not yet supplied the detail of how many people registered in the South but

from the DA’s records we can confirm that over 15 000 new registrations took place in the South alone.The next step is for more people to register in February and the final step is up to each one of us: to vote on Election Day for the party that you believe will make South Africa better.

AnAlYSInG THe SCene: Both vehicles had extensive damage in the front.

Frontal collisionA head-on collision involving a BMW and VW Golf occurred on the corner of Rosettenville and Marlboro Road in Springfield on 22 January.ER24 paramedics arrived on scene to find two gentlemen in the BMW had sustained injuries. The driver sustained injuries to his back and was immobilized and placed onto a spine board. The passenger sustained minor injuries. Both occupants were taken to hospital by ER24 paramedics for further assessment.JMPD was on scene and will investigate the incident.

A 40-year-old man was arrested in Winchester Hills by Cst Mlangeni and Cst Moses from ekurhuleni Intervention Unit (SWAT), for possession of a stolen motor vehicle. The officers were following the tracker signal of a BMW X5, stolen in September 2013 in Saldanah, Western Cape, which led them to the suspect.

Tracker signal leads to arrest

The public meeting for residents of Meredale, Comptonville, naturena proper and naturena extensions, which was held on 18 January with Mondeor SAPS management, had an overwhelming community attendance.The meeting was held at Naturena Primary School to address the concerns of the residents. The Mondeor management would like to extend their appreciation on the overwhelming community attendance.Please note that a similar meeting will take place tonight at 19:00 at Mulbarton Primary School for the community of Liefde en Vrede, Bassonia, Glenvista, Mulbarton and Glenanda. All residents welcome.

Overwhelming community attendance

Close shops by 19:00Moffatview SAPS would like to inform all shop owners to close their shops before 19:00. By closing at this time it will assist in the fight against crime. Your co-operation is greatly valued by the staff and management of Moffatview SAPS.

Cooperation between the Glenvista (GCF) Glenanda South (GSCF) and Mulbarton (MCF) Community Forums has yielded rich results of late in the fight against crime in their sector (1).The afternoon of 23 January, the chairman of GSCF noted an open gate on Marnewick Avenue and called on the elderly resident to close his gate. On closer inspection he noted that the gate had been forced open and three house robbers were loading stolen goods into a car parked in the resident’s yard. The three suspects fled on foot over the back walls and a chase ensued but to no avail.

Backup was provided by GCF, MCF patrollers and D&D Tactical Security and the elderly resident was found locked in his bedroom, shaken but physically unharmed. Trauma counselling was arranged from the Mondeor victim support unit. All of the stolen goods, including two flat screen televisions, were recovered. This valuable evidence was handed to Mondeor SAPS and it is hoped that this will lead to arrests.This follows another arrest on 17 January. On a routine patrol, members of MCF and GCF came across two suspects on Norwich Drive in possession of housebreaking implements and they were promptly arrested by Mondeor SAPS and remain in custody.Earlier that same day a member of MCF responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle near Kings Lynne Street and apprehended three suspects. Mondeor SAPS were called to the scene and it was established the vehicle was wanted by SAPS for alleged armed robbery in Pretoria.All Glenvista, Glenanda South, Mulbarton, Liefde en Vrede and Bassonia residents are encouraged to join these forums to ensure that all crime information is reported and actioned properly. All these forums have a number of crime initiatives and excellent communication platforms and feel that they are turning the tide on criminals in the sector through high levels of resident participation.

Residents are encouraged to arrange street meetings and have a representative from one of the forums address them on community policing to make their area safer. Residents can visit www.glenvistacommunity.co.za or www.mulbartoncf.co.za for further information.

BESA Leadership Academy’s grade 12’s hosted a Christmas function last year for Amazing Grace Children’s Home. The learners felt privileged to interact with the children and share their time and gifts with them.

Amazing timesKagiso Moerane, who started Grade 1 at Tambotie Prep School, was all smiles on his first day of school.

Smiling to school

After a week of orientation, Glenvista High grade 8 learners partook in a fun day on 18 January. The grade 8’s had a lot of fun with their peers and the grade 12 RCL.

Helpmekaar Kollege se toppresteerders van matriek 2013 kan met trots sê dat hulle harde werk selfs universiteitsprofessors beïndruk het. Die rektor en visiekanselier van die Universiteit van die Vrystaat, Professor Jonathan Jansen, en die adjunk-visiekanselier: strategiese dienste van die Universiteit van Johannesburg, Professor Derek van der Merwe, het die 2013-matrieks van Helpmekaar verras met persoonlike gelukwensinge.Elouise Minnie was die toppresteerder en spog met 11 onderskeidings; Emma Wessels pronk met 10 onderskeidings en nog drie leerlinge het 9 onderskeidings behaal. Daar was nog 9 leerlinge wat almal 8 onderskeidings behaal het. In die algemeen het 63% van Helpmekaar se leerlinge ‘n gemiddeld van 70% en hoër behaal; 90% van

die leerlinge se eindjaar-rapport was beter as hul graad 10, 11 en 12 rapporte; 28% het vyf onderskeidings en meer behaal en in totaal was 54% die laagste gemiddeld.Prof Jansen het aan die skool geskryf: “Die Universiteit van die Vrystaat is baie trots op julle en ook om met ‘n skool soos Helpmekaar geassosieer te kan word.” Prof Van der Merwe het namens die Universiteit van Johannesburg onder andere geskryf: “Die statistiek, die onderskeidings en die punte, uitnemend soos wat dit ongetwyfeld is – en, onthou, dit geld vir elke matrikulant, nie net die toppresteerders nie - bied op sigself ‘n onvolkome prentjie. Steun bloot sterk op die holistiese voorbereiding wat Helpmekaar julle naas akademiese vermoë gebied het en beur dankbaar vooruit. Baie geluk en baie sterkte”

You ask yourself, where to now for Smith, De Villers and co, after the premature retirement of Jacques Kallis? Which I’m sure took everyone by surprise. It had to come at some stage, but not right now with the Aussies taking on the Proteas in a three match test series soon. I honestly thought that Kallis had another couple of years left in him at this level, in which he could have tried to break Tendulkar’s record of the most test match centuries. His stats show what a cricketing great he actually was; and that he is probably the best all-rounder the game has ever seen. A very private person, Kallis went about his business in quiet fashion and then the announcement we all dreaded. I recall what a nightmare start he had to his test career. He could not buy a run, but he repaid the selectors for having the faith to persist with him. It certainly paid off, but the current Proteas men will have to very quickly fill the void Kallis has left, if they want to remain the number one test team in the world. At the moment, the Aussies are on a high after crushing England in the Ashes Series, as well as winning the ODI Series on last Sunday. Michael Clarke and coach Darren Leeman have set a goal for the Aussies to become the number one Test and ODI team in the world within the next couple of years. It will take some doing, as a number of the current squad members are on the wrong side of thirty. A pity no Kallis, but we must move on and hopefully we can tame Clarke and co. Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel are key for me in this contest, as they will need to take wickets early in the innings and bowl the Aussies out cheaply. It’s a task England could not perform, as they allowed Australia to set huge totals, as well as England’s batting letting them down. Our top order batsmen will hopefully not be intimidated by Mitchell Johnson, who certainly got up the noses of Alistair Cook’s men. Johnson not only bowled very quickly at the English, but was also seen to be quite verbal.I look forward to a great contest.

Springbok Sevens takes third Las Vegas title Ndu Ngwenya

ndu@tametimes.co.za

The Springbok Sevens side successfully defended their Las Vegas title over the weekend. The Blitzbokke’s successful campaign earned the South African side their third Las Vegas title in four years. Going into the fourth round of the HSBC Sevens World Series, which was hosted at the San Boyd Stadium in Nevada (USA), South Africa (56 points) was second on the log, just behind New Zealand who were sitting on 58 points.The Blitzbokke began their successful defence strongly as they made light of all their competition during the preliminary stages of the Vegas tournament. South Africa won all their pool A fixtures, which were matches against Wales, Canada and Kenya. South Africa then progressed through the quarterfinals after convincingly beating Argentina 36 – 0. At this point the Springboks had already exceeded the expectations of their captain, Kyle Brown, who stated that a finish in the top four would help the Blitzbokke keep up to the World Series leaders.Samoa was the next side to fall at the hands of the South Africans when they lost 14 – 0 in the semi-final fixture, which took place in the early hours of Sunday morning (local time). Later on Sunday, South Africa met up with New Zealand in the final game on the USA leg of the World Series. The Springboks won the game 14 – 7 and by that not only successfully defended their title, but also managed to top the log

having a one point advantage over New Zealand.The next stage of the HSBC Sevens World Series will take place on 7 – 8 February and will be hosted at the Westpac Stadium in New Zealand.
