LAILA MAJIET

BO-KAAP residents are unhappywith the squatter camp in Mili-tary Road, but those staying inthe informal settlement say theyfeel neglected when it comes tobasic service delivery.

Following a two-day clean-up op-eration by the City last week, a con-cerned Bo-Kaap resident informedPeople’s Post of the high pile of dirtaccumulating outside the squattercamp next to Vista High School.

Farouk Waggie who stays in LionStreet says: “There is a house adja-cent to the shacks where a familyof four was staying. They wereserved with an eviction order to va-cate the house, and they left thepremises in April.

“Now over 10 vagrants from out-side the area stay in the house. We,the residents, don’t want a squattercamp in our area.”

Waggie says the problem has per-sisted for the last three years. Thearea gets cleaned today and tomor-row they start dumping again, headds.

However, those living in the in-formal settlement at the foot of Mili-tary Road counter they have no oth-er options as they have not beenprovided with bins, toilets or run-ning water.

The council land between Mili-tary Road and Lion Street is alsomainly used as a dumping site.

But the squatters say the dirt wasthere long before they arrived.

Nazeem Gamiet (38) is unem-ployed and has been staying at thesettlement for three years. He sayshe has stayed in Bo-Kaap all his life.

“It is not only our rubbish. Thepeople who lived here before start-ed dumping on the border of thesquatter camp and we followed suit.I am happy they have taken the dirtaway and we as a community mustensure that the area remainsclean.”

John Witbooi (64) is an unem-ployed man who has been living inthe settlement for the last 20 years.

He says: “I feel terribly bad be-

cause the government is yet to giveus basic services like water and toi-lets. I am not sure how much longerthey expect us to wait. It is not nicefor the women or the children liv-ing here to have to use the bush asa toilet, but we have no otherchoice.”

Katriena Wagenaar (32) has threechildren. Her youngest was born atthe squatter camp.

She has lived there for nine years,and says she wants better for herchildren.

“It is not nice to have to raise mychildren in this environment. Twoof my children attend Scotcheskloof

Primary School and I don’t wantthem to grow up into the same cir-cumstances in which I find myself.”

Cleaning staff who were on siteon Wednesday say the dirt they re-moved seems like it has been therefor a very long time.

Saadiqah Pascoe says it was ahorrible experience having to cleanup after people who defecatedwhere they found an open space.

“It was horrible. We found paintcontainers which people had usedto defecate in. Old clothing wasstrewn on the side of the road in be-tween the dirt. This was the firsttime I have cleaned up this area and

it looks like a lot of the dirt is oldrubbish that had been buried withsoil.

“Plants have even grown over thedirt,”she says.

The Bo-Kaap Civic Association’sOsman Shaboodien says the squat-ter camp is a symptom of a biggerproblem – a lack of housing.

“There is no control over thesquatter camp either. People set upshop and no one controls this. Be-cause the window period in whichto evict squatters is so short, theproblem persists.”

The Bo-Kaap NeighbourhoodWatch says the informal settlement

is often used as an escape route forcriminals who lurk in the area.

Chairperson Fahim Omar says:“There has been an increase incriminal activity in the area sincethe occupants of the house on thefarm were evicted and othersmoved in.”

Richard Bosman, the director ofthe City’s safety and security de-partment says: “The City’s Dis-placed People’s Unit, with the as-sistance of other enforcement agen-cies and the Social DevelopmentDepartment, will continue to workin the area daily to address the va-grancy issues.”

THE INCREASE in the number of MyCiTibuses for passengers with special needsmay still leave the disabled with the shortend of the stick.

But MyCiTi bus management plans to in-crease the number of buses to accommodatethe disabled, the elderly and passengers withlarge luggage, surfboards or prams.

The service was designed to be as accessi-ble as possible, says councillor Brett Herron,of the City’s Transport, Roads and Stormwa-ter Committee.

He adds the service is regularly monitoredto gauge areas of improvement.

Herron says: “MyCiTi’s goal to be univer-sally accessible to all is leading the way in theworld, catering for a variety of disabled pas-sengers.”

Special-needs travellers have been support-ing the bus service, says Herron.

“We expect to see this number grow as weextend the MyCiTi service further acrossCape Town over the coming years.”

Guy Davies, co-founder of Disability Solu-tions, is the universal access consultant forMyCiTi. Davies, a wheelchair user, was ap-proached for advice and design input for thebuses.

Services on MyCiTi include tactile pavingto assist the blind to locate the stations andplatforms.

Induction loops for hearing assistance areavailable for the hearing impaired at the tick-et offices.

CCTV cameras in station areas are moni-tored by a control centre,

Herron says: “The closed stations with se-

curity guards provide a safe environment forour passengers when waiting for and board-ing buses.

“The buses themselves are well-lit andwhere possible stops have been located nearstreet lighting.

“There will also be boarding bridges ontoall the buses including the new smaller buses,giving passengers level access on all perma-nent routes,” says Herron.

Free trials onMyCiTi buses for passengers,including those with special needs, were re-cently offered.

Vivienne van der Merwe, administrator forWestern Cape Network on Disability, joinedin on the ride.

“It looked good, but what worries me is thatdisabled people still have to pay for the serv-ice and some are really struggling financial-ly,” says Van der Merwe.

Thembinkosi Dyasi, chairperson of theWestern Cape Disabled People South Africa(DPSA), says: “Members of the DPSA have re-ported their transport problems to organisa-tions such as MyCiTi, but have not receivedany response.”

He adds that some members are picked uptoo early in the morning or not dropped offclose enough to their destinations.

Dyasi wants transport companies to pro-vide services which are more accessible.“This affects employment as there have beentimes when members have not had transportto their interviews,” says Dyasi, who addsDPSA will meet with transport stakeholders.

But, says Herron: “The MyCiTi service isa scheduled service running on specifiedroutes, and not an on-demand taxi service. Itcan only stop at designated stops.”

Dear reader,

Like the thousands of hopefuls who en-ter Idols each year, most of us believewe’re stars. And why not?

After all, each of us has an interestinglife story to tell and if movies were madeof these, we would all be stars.

Real life tales aside, there’s nothingmore powerful than having a dream, or inthe case of most Idols contestants whoclearly can’t carry a tune, more misguid-ed. Despite being told in the most candidmanner by the show’s judges that theycan’t sing, the delusional masses return,year after year.

And suckers for punishment, such as I,allow them to assault my senses, year afteryear.

Idols is one of many reality shows fol-lowed by millions of voyeuristic TV view-ers, greedy for full-on glimpses into oth-ers’ lives.

It’s hard to believe that with the adventof TV back in the 70s, riveting viewing was

provided by the sedate likes of shows likeDallas and Kojak and truly innocent chil-dren’s programmes such as Heidi andBlack Beauty.

Back in District Six, myparents were among the firstto acquire a black-and-whiteBlaupunkt telly, for whichmy mom paid all of R450cash; impressive! This meantthat on Dallas nights, rela-tives from as far as WalmerEstate traipsed to our hometo keep up with the doings ofthe Ewings. It’s painful, butI still remember the thememusic to this and other 70sTV programmes; almost aswell as I remember my oldercousin loudly crunching hisway through a bag of carrots while the restof us strained to hear every word comingout of this wonderful wooden box.

Now we are spoilt for choice and con-sumers seem content with nothing short

of a full menu of reality viewing, the fullbouquet served instantly. This is sympto-matic of human behaviour, seldom satiat-ed. And despite the endless options 21st

century technology has ush-ered in, we don’t stop want-ing the next new cellphoneor computer.

The big old brick-of-a-block Nokia cellphone every-one had to have when cell-phones were a novelty, isnow sneered at. Facebookand other social networksites have given truth to theterm “imaginary friends” assome people clock up thou-sands of “www friends”;while at the same time pro-fessing to leadingvery lonely

(meaning real) lives.And when you’ve had enough of your

virtual friends, after a virtual tiff, you sim-ply boot them off BB or FB - no questionsasked.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan oftechnology and its many benefits such ascost-effective communication, access toinformation and connection to others. Ihave no desire to return to the days of pen-pals and handwritten letters, but where dowe draw the line? Some people take socialnetworking to scary levels; broadcastingtheir painful experiences on a myriad ofdigital platforms. Others cowardly end re-lationships via email. Then there are theinherent dangers this exposure brings, tothe impressionable and vulnerable.

But who am I to judge when I too havebecome enslaved to modern technologyand cannot imagine being without my nif-ty gadgets and the endless possibilities itbrings?

COSATU Western Cape wants the CapeTown Stadium to be converted into low-cost housing.

This change represents a chance to “pro-mote black and white communities acrossthe class divide”, according to the trade un-ion federation.

Cosatu’s plan for thebuilding of affordablehousing in the city centre has been discussedand is supported by engineers and architects.

Provincial secretary Tony Ehrenreichsays: “People of Green Point have objectedbefore to turning the stadium area into com-mercial space and them possibly opposinglow-cost housing is the same protectionismthat brought about apartheid.”

He adds: “Black working families would beoccupying the houses which would assist inintegrating the Green Point community.”

Green Point resident Alistair Hunt wouldlike to see the stadium’s worth realised.

“The stadium was built for a reason and alot of money was spent. It would not makesense todemolish suchanexpensive facility,”he says.

Hunt continues that the city’s stadium isa world-class facility that can create benefitsfor businesses and communities – if managedeffectively.

Angela Weickl, a Green Point restaurantmanager, feels the stadium should stay.

“They need to find more uses for it. I’vebeen inside and it is a great space,” she says.

“The stadium is representative of a veryimportant time in our country and just be-cause the World Cup is over does not meanthe stadium should go with it. The buildingof the stadium gave many people jobs.”

Inge Wulff, a sales assistant at a luxuryclothing store in Green Point, feels that ef-forts are being directed to make the stadiuma financial success.

“Management should think of creativeways to use the stadium in order to bring inlarger amounts of profit,” she says.

“All otherpossible angles shouldbe investi-gated before the stadium is destroyed.”

Jarred Dunn, the manager of a photographybusiness in Green Point, also wants the fullpotential of the stadium realised.

“Singers and bands will not be able to enter-tain our people if a suitable venue is not avail-able. We should think very carefully beforewe decide to get rid of the stadium,” he says.

Last week, the City announced possibleplans to rezone the area to accommodatenightclubs and office blocks.

Gert Bam, the director of Sport, Recreationand Amenities, says: “The City has no inten-tion of demolishing the stadium.”

If upgraded, the stadium will be the secondin Green Point, after the athletics stadium,to receive renovations.

Bam says: “The City has already had exten-sive interest from clubs in finding out whenthe athletics facility will be complete andwhen bookings can occur for forthcomingevents.”

TheGreenPointAthletics Stadiumisunderconstruction to seat 5 000 spectators and re-ceive an International Association of Athlet-ics Federations accreditation. Completion isexpected at year-end.

Councillor Dave Bryant represents a por-tion of the Green Point ward and the Bo-Kaap.

“I believe this is a valuable initiative whichwill provide high class sporting facilities forthe people of the Bo-Kaap,” says Bryant.

He adds: “The Cape Town Stadium hasbrought massive value to the city.

“The stadium can certainly host moreevents and alternative revenue streams arebeing explored.”

Talks to repurposestadium for housing

GOODHOSTS:JaymionHendricksfeels thestadium hasmany advan­tages.“Cape Townneeds to bepromoted asan interna­tional cityable to hostbig events,which, inturn, is goodfor our econ­omy. Itcomes downto beingable to hostmajorevents.”

MANAGING: Zi­yanda Stuur­man says thefuture of all sta­diums in the ar­ea should bemanaged. “Thestadium shouldstay and bemade moremultifunction­al. There areother smallerstadiums in theCape areawhich could bedistractingfrom the mainone in CapeTown. Moreemphasisshould be puton the mainstadium.”

OTHERWAYS: Dan­iele Hofmeyrfeels otheruses for thestadiumaren’t as im­portant.“We arespending alltaxpayers’money andnow wewant to de­molish thestadium.The land canbe used forhousing, butthere is oth­er land thatcan be usedfor that aswell.”

BE GOAL­DRIVEN:Philip duToitwants thestadiumto stay.“Sport isthe great­est na­tion build­er and ithasbroughtpeople to­gether.Sportkeeps ustogetherand is away tokeep peo­ple off thestreets.”

MORE ISBETTER:JamisonGlidden,from theUSA, saysthe stadi­um shouldbe utilisedbetter.“Theyshouldhave moreconcertsand gamesas it is abeautifulstadium. Itwould be ahuge wasteof money todemolishsuch aplace.”

TOURISMGEM: NelitaDo Rosariofeels thestadiumcan be amulti­pur­pose cen­tre. “Peoplewho want todemolishthe stadiumdo not un­derstandhow mucheffort wasput intoconstruct­ing it. Thestadium is atourist at­traction formany peo­ple.”

RAIL commuters are being hit inthe pocket as monthly train fareshave gone up.

The price hike came into effect onSunday.

Sound engineering student KennethMokoatsi catches the train from Re-treat to the city each day.

This first-class commuter paid R200for a monthly ticket, but he now has tofork out an additional R16.

Mokoatsi says: “It puts more pres-sure on the average working person.Travelling every day is something youcan’t avoid. People are struggling fi-nancially already and rely heavily onthe trains.”

The option of using taxis, he says,would come at a higher price.

“The average person earning a mini-mum wage, such as cashiers and petrolattendants, will be some of those hard-est hit by the end of the discount,” saysMokoatsi.

He was referring to a 15% Metroraildiscount for monthly ticket holdersfrom April to June. The price hikewould have set in on 1 April, but labourfederations negotiated for a delay inthe increase.

Mokoatsi says the increase will “cutinto other costs, such as food and cloth-ing”.

Duncan Hanekom, an electrician,commutes daily from Retreat to Wyn-berg.

Hanekom says: “I am not happy withthe Metrorail service and I know otherpeople are not happy either. The trainis always late or full because of carriag-es that are short.”

He believes commuters will be upsetwith the increase. “I don’t know if theywill use this extra money to fix thetrains,” says Hanekom. “We will haveto wait and see.”

He added that people who earn week-ly wages will feel the increase more.

Metrorail marketing and communi-cations manager Riana Scott says:“Monthly tickets valid from July on-wards will revert to the original in-crease, irrespective of (the) date pur-chased.”

For full details of the increases visitthe Metrorail website at http://www.capemetrorail.co.za.

TAURIQ HASSEN

THREE people were injured when gun-shots were fired outside the Cubananightclub in Green Point yesterday.

At around 04:20, two shots went off, leavingtwo men and a woman in a serious condition.

Warrant Officer Khunjulwa Sam, spokes-person for Cape Town Central police, says themotive behind the shooting is still unknown.

She explains that according to witness re-ports, a suspect had engaged in an argumentwith the victims inside the popular night-club.

Sam says: “The argument went outside,where the suspect headed to his vehicle, re-

moved the firearm and fired shots at the vic-tims.”

All three are currently in hospital.Sam confirms that all three victims will

still be questioned.The suspected gunman is on the run.“We have no further details on the sus-

pect and only after these victims, who are allrecovering in hospital, are questioned by theinvestigating officers, will we have a betteridea of what happened,” says Sam.

Police have opened a case of attemptedmurder.

People’s Post contacted Cubana nightclubfor comment but were unable to obtain anyadditional information, as the night shiftstaff were off duty.

Shootout at Green Point club

THE City’s traffic officials issued 515 fines aspart of an enforcement plan along HospitalBend last week. On Thursday, officials fo-cused on serious moving violations such asdisregarding the channelising lines, overtak-ing on the left shoulder, and disregardingbarrier lines at critical points along NelsonMandela Boulevard – all of which impact ontraffic congestion and add to the frustrationof law-abiding motorists.

The 515 fines comprised of:• 271 for disobeying the channelising line.• 49 for passenger overloading.• 19 for failure to wear safety belts.• 21 for using a cellphone while driving.

• 1 for overtaking on the left hand shoulderof the roadway.

Of the 271 cases noted, 215 were sedan pas-senger vehicles, 52 were minibus taxis andfour were trucks.

The following speeding offences were alsorecorded:

• 123 offences on Nelson Mandela Boule-vard (with the highest speed recorded at 125km/h in an 80 km/h zone);

• 531 offences on N2 between Jan SmutsDrive and Raapenberg Road.

• 295 offences on Table Bay Boulevard be-tween Christiaan Barnard and LowerChurch streets.

Clampdown on traffic offences

THE SEARCH is on for the mother of an aban-doned baby found in Cape Town last week.

On Monday 25 June, a newborn was foundwrapped in an old t-shirt at Milrita Court,Schoonder Street, Gardens.

Warrant Officer Khunjulwa Sam, spokes-person for the Cape Town Central police sta-tion, explains that police now require the as-sistance from the public to solve the aban-

doned baby case.Sam says: “We are trying to trace the moth-

er or any information that could lead to herwhereabouts.”

Anyone with any information can contactCape Town Central police investigation offic-er, Detective Constable Ashley MiltonCharles on (021) 467-6344 or the OperationRoom on (021) 467-8001/2.

YOU ARE now paying 7,06 % morefor your refuse removal.

The City of Cape Town announced thetariff increase last week and it was im-plemented on Sunday.

The new tariffs has been put in placeto develop new landfill sites because theexisting sites are almost full.

Over three million Western Cape res-idents generate between 5 000 and 6 000tons of domestic and industrial wasteper day. As older landfill sites reach ca-pacity, waste has to be transported fur-ther away to new landfill sites andrefuse trucks have to be replaced.

According to the City, these needs aredriving up costs for both the collectionand disposal of waste.

The City is running a series of wasteminimisation campaigns, but still, it isbecoming more expensive.

While theCityhas increased theaver-age charge for refuse removal, it is alsoputting money aside to assist those inneed by providing a rebate.

Subsidies worth almost R2 millionhave been allocated for the new finan-cial year.

The rebate categories depends on thevalue of your property.

If your property is between R0 andR100 000 you get a 100 percent rebate.

Between R100 000 and R150 000 = 75 %rebate.

Between R150 000 and R350 000 = 50 %rebate

Between R350 000 and R400 000 = 25 %rebate.

Money mattersAS THE cold weather settles in, expected mid-year price hikes will, at best, get a lukewarmreception from Capetonians.

Following the consistent rise and fall – tothe lesser – of fuel, residents are already bat-tling to keep head above water for the basicessentials such as food and a decent roof overtheir heads.

Some, trapped by arrears of City Councilrental units for years, have ceremonially bur-ied their letters of demand for payment beforesetting them alight.

The demands for housing, as well as ade-quate government services in the health, edu-cation and social services sectors are not be-ing met. This is contrary to election promises.There are no houses for all. Education is freeonly to those at “no-fee” schools. To many, re-fusing to admit to diminished income – or out-right poverty – is a matter pride.

While many want to work, they’re not get-ting jobs. The reasons are varied. Globally, at-tempts at rebuilding the economic house ofcards are still a work in progress. Therearen’t enough employment opportunities inthe private sector. In SA, not everyone whoknocks on the Red Door programme for helpgets financial aid. And some people may sim-ply not be employable – they don’t have theskills, experience or the education to do thejob.

In the first quarter of this year, the nationalunemployment rate stood at 25% – a 2% in-crease, says Statistics SA.

The average 11% price hike in electricitywill have consumers thinking about theirpockets before flicking that switch. And railcommuters are already nursing the pain ofprice hikes ranging from R1 extra for singletickets to up to R42 more for monthly tickets.

There are many Capetonians living in ex-pensive properties, but have less disposableincome. For them, the simple act of movinghouse is costly. It is not just a simple matterof relocating to a cheaper residence – or evenrenting – as this, too, comes at a higher price.

It is a case of too expensive to live, too ex-pensive to die.

COMMERCE will never permit the demise ofChristmas or Easter.

It is commerce that keeps these holidays go-ing –not the church.ThedayofAscensionwasremoved because it had no real commercialvalue; it was seen as just a holiday.

Admittedly a small percentage of peoplewent to church.

There are seven ANC holidays: HumanRights Day, Freedom Day, Workers’ Day,Youth Day, Women’s Day, Heritage Day andDay of Reconciliation.

None have any commercial value.It is obvious, therefore, which days should

go.RALPH

Commerce keeps holidays going

I READ in your cartoon there is a proposalto change the name to something unpro-nounceable.

I take exception to this, as I am a bornand bred Capetonian of 75 years. Why mustwe change the name that is so well known

throughout the world? And what about thecost involved to bring it about? Also for thewhim of a few.

Why not test the public opinion on thisbefore implementation?CAPETONIAN

What’s in this new name?

I THOUGHT I would share something withyour readers.

On Monday, the Council refuse removalstaff emptied our bins with the usual shuntingand rolling of the bins back to our homes. Thishappened with the usual clatter of binsagainst pavements, resulting in wheels flyingoff and, in my case, the lid being bashed off.

I was watching all this – as I have previouslydone – and, because my bin was damaged thistime, I telephoned council to report what hadhappened.

The reactionof the council officialwasabso-lutely wonderful. He gave me his name, a ref-erence number and the assurance the binwould be replaced free within 14 days.

Here comes the crunch: they replaced mybin during the stormy weather this morning(Wednesday).

That is what I call excellent service. Givethem applause. It is good to see there are stillpeople like that in the world. Pity their col-leagues caused the problem in the first place.DAN RUTHENBERG

Round of applause for service . I refer to the article about nomore ball games on the Prome-nade. Provide visible notices forpedestrians and limit to onebounce. Educate, don’t legislate!

. Is there any way that AlistairIzobel can stage Music Alla Kaapagain – perhaps another two orthree shows? Kathy Booysen

The Dave Spence Memorial 10 km race presented bythe RCS Gugulethu Athletic Club which forms part ofWestern Province Athletics Powerade League serieswill take place will take place on Sunday at the NY49stadium in Gugulethu.

According to organiser Marshall Moiloa, the popu-lar township race was started three years after theircelebrated coach Dave Spence passed away in 2009.

“Dave used to be a coach and mentor not only forme, but many talented young athletes from the town-ships. He was the one who urged me to start up theclub. He put in a lot of time and effort and played akey role in the establishment of theGugulethuAthleticclub. It’s great that his legacy can live on with a racethat is held in his memory,” Moila said proudly.

“A lot of people were previously scared to come intothe townships. But I think that kind of stereotypicalthinking has changed drastically in recent times. Weare expectingahuge turnout this yearbecause the raceforms part of WPA’s Powerade League series.

“The race starts at 07:30 and the 4.2 km fun run atO7:35 about 150m from the NY49 Stadium next to theGugulethu Mall. It’s run over a fast and flat course andis perfect for runners aiming for a personal best time.

“ At Manenberg Police Station the runners will turnleft at Duinefontein Road past the Nyanga JunctionShopping Center. The route then takes at left turn atLansdowne road over the bridge through the townshipand back to the finish atthe NY49 stadium. Wehave decided to make thecut-off time for the 10kmis two and a half hours toaccommodate the walkerswho are also welcome,”explained Moila.

Registration will takeplace from 05:45 - 07:00.Entry for the 10km is R35for licensed athletes. Tem-porary licences cost R20.The first 1 000 finisherswill get medals.

Sailing centreaims for the topGRADUATES of development sailing in CapeTown’s Southern Peninsula are gearing up totake on the most prestigious sailing competitionin Southern Africa – the Lipton Challenge Cup2012.

Two sailors from the Zeekoevlei Sailing Cen-tre, Marco Tobin and Le-roy Rudolf, will be head-ing up their team of sailors from various CapeTown sailing schools at the Lipton Challenge inAugust.

This is not the first time that sailors from thecentre have competed this level– the likes of Ash-ton Sampson was part of Team Shosholoza inthe 2007 America’s Cup campaign; Ryan Pen-tolfe and Roscoe Cupido won the 2010 J22 Nation-als; David Jacobs competed in the 2011 RS TeraWorld Championship in Denmark; and 16-year-old JP Roberts qualified for the 2012 RS TeraWorld Championships which will take place inItaly in August.

The centre was started in 1996 by the WynbergRotary Club with extensive and ongoing spon-sorship from Metropolitan Health. The missionof the centre is to contribute to communitydevel-opment in the predominantly low-income areasaround Zeekoevlei.

Marco Tobin joined the Zeekoevlei SailingCentre in 1998 while still a learner at GrassyPark High. The sailing centre has grown signifi-cantly since then, with school children from sixlocal schools taking turns to train every after-noon.

Says Tobin: “Since 2008 about 100 childrenhave been taught to sail every year. The childrenlearn valuable lifeskills and leadership lessonsand are also exposed to the option of sailing orboat-building and design as a career.”

A youngster who has benefited from the sail-ing centre is 20-year-old Morne Hardinge. Hestarted sailing at the age of 13 and is now em-ployed full time by the centre. “Being a part ofZeekoevlei Sailing Centre has changed my life,”says Hardinge. “It’s kept me out of gangs anddrugs and all the other problems so common inthe area where I grew up. Having been given thiswonderful opportunity, I find it very rewardingto give back to the community.”

Tobin and the Lipton Cup team are followinga strict training regimen and have their sightsset at a finish in the top five.

Schools interested in joining the ZeekoevleiSailing Centre can call (021) 689 1954. Organisa-tions interested in helping with sponsorship forthe Lipton Cup team can contact Tobin on082 706 2444.

Hammies hammer VillagerLIAM MOSES

VILLAGER were plungedeven further in the relegationmire when they lost to arch-ri-vals Hamiltons at a cold,dampandwindyBrooksideonFriday night.

The loss is the ninth of the sea-son for the “Dirty Whites” andleaves them in ninth place on thelog, with little hope of climbingabove False Bay in eighth beforethe end of the season.

The hosts went into the gameas rank underdogs, with littlehope of salvaging even a singlepoint from the encounter, andthe odds of a surprise victorydropped even more soon afterthe start of the game.

Villager conceded their firsttry after only two minutes ofplay, even though they hadgained possession when theiropponents kicked-off.

After the ball was returned toHamiltons’ half, via a poorly di-rected kick, the visitors rumbledforward, stringing togetherphase after phase and crossingthe advantage line at every colli-sion, until wing Nicolas Pearsonwas able to canter across the try-line.

The early try seemed to indi-cate that Villager were in for an-other drubbing at the hands oftheir old foes, but they respond-ed quickly with a well-takendrop goal and a penalty to bringthe score to 7-6.

Hamiltons stretched their leadagain in the 24th minute with an-other penalty, but the home sidealmost immediately hit backwith a try the next minute.

The ball was spread wide towing Nizaar Roos, after one ofhis team mates broke throughthe Hamiltons defence in themiddle of the field, and he cut inbetween two defenders to score.

Shane Swart’s conversiongave Villager a short-lived 13-10lead. Hamiltons scored their sec-ond try less than two minutes

later when fullback Piere Cronjedived over in the right corner ofthe field. Cronje would go on toscore twomore tries in the game.

The resulting conversion andpenalty later in the half sent theteams into half-time with Hamil-tons leading 20-10.

Despite the difficult condi-tions Hamiltons were happy torun the ball in the first half,while Villager spent more timedefending, often resorting tokicking when they were in ownhalf and fed-off Hamiltons mis-takes.

The strategy, whether pre-planned or an on-field responseto Hamiltons’ high-tempo game,would come back to haunt Vil-lager in the second half.

Hamiltons picked up wherethey left off and Cronje grabbedhis second try of the game in the15th minute. Hamiltons’ flyhalfMarcell du Toit goaled his con-version kick and slotted anotherpenalty ten minutes later tobring the score to 30-10.

The Villager defence stoodfirm throughout the game, andshould be commended for limit-ing Hammies to just four tries,but their brave efforts early inthe game began to show in thelast 15 minutes.

The route was completed inthe 37th minute when Cronjegrabbed his third try and histeam’s fourth.

The try was converted and thegame ended 37-13 to Hamiltons.

Villager have just eight gamesleft to salvage their season, butthey will take a month-longbreak before they travel to Stel-lenbosch to take on the Matieson Saturday 28 July.

Hamiltons, meanwhile, willhost False Bay on Saturday andlook set to pick up another victo-ry. The Sea Point-based sidehave all-but relinquished theirchances of snatching the SuperLeague A title, but they will hopeto keep pace with the leagueleaders and finish as high as pos-sible.
