Nogo area for taxis?ASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Taxi drivers using Ayres Roadin Mowbray are believed to bedoing so illegally and have leftresidents fuming in frustration.

The claim is based on there re-portedly being a no taxis allowedsign on the corner of Ayres Road.

Residents are now calling on theCity of Cape Town to take steps inapprehending the operators.

A resident who lives just onestreet away from Ayres Road saysshe has seen the taxi drivers speed-ing along the road on more thanone occasion.

She spoke to Peoples Post on con-dition of anonymity, saying thatbecause Ayres Road is a one-wayroad leading into Liesbeek Road,there is always traffic congestion.

Residents who live in the roadand roads adjacent to Ayres Roadstruggle to get out of the area dueto the traffic congestion, she says.The taxi drivers drive at a hell ofa speed and it is only a matter oftime before there is a huge acci-dent.

She is requesting that the Cityinforms taxi drivers of the dangersof driving in residential areas,even if they are permitted to do so.If they have the permit to drive inthe area it is their right to do so,but they also need to adhere to thespeed limit.

She adds that taxi drivers do notonly put the lives of pedestrians atrisk, but those who live and workin the area as well. Accidents canhappen at any moment, she adds.

Richard Bosman, executive di-rector for Safety and Security, saysthe City has received no officialcomplaints for Ayres Road in re-

cent months.There are no records of dedicat-

ed monitoring or enforcement inrecent months, he says.

He says Cape Town Traffic Serv-ices visited the location on Thurs-day 28 August and there was no sig-nage prohibiting taxis from usingthe road only a no entry sign (onthe corners of Ayres and Liesbeekroads).

However the matter will be re-ported to Transport for Cape Town

whose traffic engineers are respon-sible for road signage.

It is not uncommon for suchsigns to be removed or vandalised.

The public transport unit willschedule enforcement operationson an ad hoc basis to address theissue, he says.

Bosman says Cape Town Trafficreceives complaints from acrossthe metropole about taxis deviat-ing from their designated routes.He says this normally happens

when main routes are congestedduring peak periods.

The congestion is normallycaused when taxis driving throughresidential roads try to get back on-to the main routes, he says.

Bosman says when taxis are con-veying passengers as a publictransport service they must onlytravel on designated roads stipu-lated on their operating licence.

If, however, they are not carry-ing passengers (not conducting a

public transport service) they arenot restricted.

When minibus taxis are foundto be operating in contravention oftheir operating licences, they areissuedwithaR2 500 fine and theve-hicle may be impounded.

Bosman added that if a tax idriv-er is found guilty or pay an admis-sion of guilt fine, a further R2 500release fee must be paid in orderfor the vehicle to be released fromthe pound.

CONSERVATION

Save the rhino, say kidsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Between two to three rhinos die everyday.Yet, as the multi-million randtrade of rhino horns continues, two con-servation organisations believe the tide isslowly turning.

The Kingsley Holgate Foundation alongwith Project Rhino KZN have managed toignite a new sense of activism among theyouth.

The first World Youth Rhino Summitwill be held later this month in Durban,aiming to gather 100 young conservationleaders from the continent with leadersfrom Asian countries.

Here, they will present conservationand protection strategies to an audienceof young people, empowering the dele-gates to become ambassadors for conser-vation.

According to the Save the Rhino ogani-sation, South Africa is home to over 80%of Africas rhinos. The continent is hometo 20 000 rhinos, with another 5 000 inAsia. This is only a fraction of the half amillion rhinos recorded in the early twen-tieth century.

Summit organisers adventurer Kings-ley Holgate and Project Rhino KZNsSheelagh Antrobus believe engaging theyouth holds the key to winning the waron poaching.

We want the youth to spread the mes-sage in places like Vietnam: we need tostop poaching, says Holgate. What sortof world will our children grow up in ifwe allow this to continue?

From the mouths of babesAntrobus and Holgate first realised the

importance of educating youth aboutpoaching while communicating withcommunities living on the borders ofgame reserves in KwaZulu Natal.

These arebuffer communitieswhocanbe our eyes and ears, says Antrobus.How can they be guardians if they dontunderstand the effects of poaching? Wedecided to focus on children and to listento what they had to say.

This was how the Rhino Art campaignwas born. Learners were given pagesprinted with the outline of a rhino andgame rangers asked them to write or drawa message against rhino poaching.

Thousands of pupils took part, with thecampaign even engaging with children inrhino horn consumer countries such asVietnam.

The drawings showed an unexpectedlevel of understanding, says Antrobus,with some children providing informa-tion about how poachers operate. We re-alised there was a very high level of matu-rity and excellence in the drawings andwe decided we want to amplify that by

holding the summit,the first of its kind.

The illicit wildlifetrade is now thefourth largest syndi-cated criminal activi-ty in the world afterdrug and human traf-ficking, and armssmuggling, said na-tional environmentalaffairs minister EdnaMolewa. Researchconducted by severalNGOs has indicatedthat rhino horn hasbecome the most ex-pensive commodityon earth. The WorldWildlife Fund esti-mates the trade to bevalued at over $10bnannually.

If the trade contin-ues to escalate at thisrate, in only a fewyears there will bemore rhinos dyingthan giving birth,which will lead to ex-tinction, says Antro-bus. Many conserva-tion organisations es-timate this couldhappen between two to four years.

Counting costsEcologically, the loss of rhinos is devas-

tating, but poaching actually has a morefar-reaching effect. Antrobus says: Interms of biodiversity, rhinos are what weterm an umbrella species. They play acritical role in the environment and im-pact on other species, such as ticks andbirds and grasslands. Even their dung hasan important impact on the environ-ment, she says.

Rhino poaching is also destructive tothe communities living in and near gamereserves.

While it is difficult to put a financialvalue on rhinos, big five game reserves at-tract more tourists and this equates tojobs in the local communities. Most re-serves also have social projects and buildschools, install water and provide health-care for locals. If you take away the rhi-nos, you take away all these benefits, shesays.

Many communities have been hard hitby poaching, says Holgate. Communiti-ies in places like Mozambique have beencompletely subverted through poaching.Communities no longer respect chiefs,they now respect young men wearing goldchains and living in mansions paid for byrhino blood. The children tell us of thetragedy of their brothers coming home inbody bags, shot as poachers. We need edu-

cation and to provide other options forthese communities, he urged.

Winning the warWhile funding and political will are in

short supply in the cause for fightingagainst rhino poaching, Antrobus be-lieves initiatives such as the youth sum-mit are helping change mindsets.

Were seeing more arrests being made,weapons confiscated and investigationsbeing made a prority. The court systemis coming onboard and doling out harshersentences to those found guilty of thetrade, she says.

Arrests are slowly increasing, with 343made in 2013 and over 140 made in the firsthalf of this year. Penalties for rhinopoaching are becoming increasingly se-vere and frequent, according to Molewa.

Holgate says: We need an integratedapproach. We need more severe sentenc-ing from the courts and more legislation.We need a message from the next genera-tion calling for more political action.

The biggest way the public can help isto provide ongoing support to rhino con-servation efforts, Antrobus says.

Theres a growing sense that were los-ing. This is a war and theres no short-term solution. Please dont give up on us.There are signs of hope.V Visit http://www.youthrhinosummit.com to findout more about the Rhino Youth Summit orwww.projectrhinokzn.org/

Historic property for saleASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

One of the finest historicRondebosch properties, TheConstabulary, is currentlyfor sale for R7m.

The property is believed to beabout 200 years old and was usedas a police station until the 1970s.

The property is well located at147 Main Road, 150m south of theof the CBD in the suburb of Ronde-bosch.

Debbie Wall-Smith, a propertybroker, says it is ideally situatedfor small professional practices asit is close to upmarket residentialsuburbs, excellent schools, com-mercial nodes and public trans-port.

It has been sensitively convertedto high quality offices with an un-der-cover area of about 303m, in-cluding the enclosed courtyardwith a water feature.

It offers 10 parking bays, five in-ternally and five externally. Theannexe of modern offices aroundthe courtyard was built in 2004 andcan be let separately, she says.

Wall-Smith says the property isregistered in the name of The FourSeasons Trust.

There are no onerous servitudeor special conditions registeredover the property. Note that the ex-ternal parking bays encroach ontoland that was apparently expropri-ated many years ago for road wid-ening, she says.

There is no knowledge ofplanned road widening and the oc-cupants of The Constabularytherefore enjoy exclusive use ofthese off-street parking bays.

The property appeared in the2012 General Valuation Roll with avaluation of R1 946 537.

It was rezoned from general resi-dential R4 to general business B1

in 2000. No physical changes orparking changes will be allowedwithout the consent from the herit-age resources section of the Envi-ronmental Management Branch.

Wall-Smith says during con-struction, a minor change wasmade to the south-easterncornerofthe back office. The toilet windowswere moved from the eastern to the

southern side and the office wallwas extended by 2m.

Improvements to the propertyconsist of the historical building,mainly double-storey, and the newsingle storey, she says.

The building is constructed ofplastered brick under corrugatediron roof on timber trusses. Thefloors, including the first floor are

constructed from concrete, exceptfor the area above the boardroomwhich is made from sprung timber.

She says the internal layout hasbeen upgraded to provide for at-tractive office accommodationwith reception, meeting rooms andtoilets. All 10 offices and the board-room are air-conditioned. Theproperty is walled and gated.

GARDEN VILLAGE

Progress takesstep backNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Delays in the construction of a newbuilding at Garden Village PrimarySchool may have dire consequencesfor next years intake of pupils.

The construction of the new school build-ing started last year, but instead of beingcompleted in July 2013 as expected, con-struction has been put on hold after theservices of the contractor were terminated(Disappointing lesson, Peoples Post, 16January).

Garden Village Primary is one of onlytwo schools from across the province toqualify for a multi-million rand project bythe provincial education department,which entails the replacement of certainsections of schools are deemed inappropri-ate or potentially unsafe.

The upgrade costs R28m.However, the school is now standing at

partial completion, says principal GillianOctober.

And teachers and parents have no ideawhen construction will be finished.

The contract was cancelled in November,says provincial education department com-munications director Paddy Attwell, be-cause of unacceptable delays by the con-

tractor which saw the project stall forabout four months.

And while a new contractor has takenover the project, October is holding thumbsthat the construction will be ready for thenew year.

The progress is rather slow and theschool governing body did not receive anyinformation regarding progress or comple-tion. Space and storage is a big problem andleads to frustration for everyone. We hopeand trust the building will be completed bythe end of this year as we are growing innumbers. We will be short of a classroomif we do not move into the new school bythe end of this year, she says.

Many of the classrooms are falling apart,says October, and in some grass is growingthrough the floor.

This will be the first school building inGarden Village. We started in the Method-ist Church hall in 1924, and then moved toa site with mobile classrooms in 1985. Atthat stage, it was meant to be for only fiveyears, October says.

The new building will include all modernschool features such as a hall, kitchens, me-dia centres, laboratories, workshops andcomputer rooms.

The school will also receive sports fields,October says.

Vacant house a vermin trapASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A derelict house that has been vacant forseveral years has become an eyesorefor Mowbray residents.The house is situated at 12 Spin Road in

Mowbray and is privately owned.According to the residents, the owner

passed away about five years ago and sincethen the property has deteriorated.

A resident, who spoke to Peoples Post oncondition of anonymity, says the house is insuch bad shape that she has a problem withrodents on her property.

I have to fumigate regularly in order tokeep the rats, cockroaches and mice out ofmy house and garden, she says.

There is also the fear that the abandoned-house may attract criminals and vagrants tothe property.

When an area looks untidy it automati-cally looks like no one cares about their en-vironment and this is not the case. One badapple in the basket can have a really bad af-fect on the rest, she says.

She has even taken steps to try and coverup the property.

I purchased wooden boards worth R4000to cover the front of the house to make it looksomewhat better, she says.

She is embarrassed to live next to thisproperty especially when she has visitors.

People always ask me what is going onnext door and it is not fair. We all look afterour homes and gardens regularly and expectothers to do the same, she says.

When Peoples Post contacted the firmdealing with the property which is LamaraHendricks Attorneys they confirmed thatthey are dealing with the estate of the prop-erty.

The house is on the market for R1.5m andif anyone is interested in purchasing theproperty they can contact the firm throughemail, admin@lamarahendricks.co.za.

The City of Cape Town confirmed thatthey have received some complaints with re-gard to the property.

Executive Director for Safety and Securi-ty, Richard Bosman, says they are aware ofthe problem building.

This is an old, corrugated house. It is se-cured and there is overgrown vegetation.

The house looks unsightly. However, thereare no signs of vagrants and no one is resid-ing at the property, he says.

Bosman says the property is privatelyowned.

With regard to the health concerns theCitys health department will conduct an in-vestigation to determine whether there areany real or potential health risks, he says.

Bosman could however not state why theproperty is vacant. The matter is being ad-dressed in terms of the problem building by-

law 2010, he says.The problem building unit carried out an

inspection on Thursday 28 August and isawaiting a report from City Health.

Another resident who lives adjacent to theproperty says he has also experienced thesame problem with rats and mice on hisproperty.

I have spent a lot of money in order tokeep the rodents off my property, but hope-fully something will be done soon to allevi-ate the situation, he says.

KIDNEYWEEK

A fighting chanceTARRENLEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

About 10% of all people in the worldhave some form of kidney disease.This frightening statistic wasreleased by National Renal Care andHealthy Start practitioner Raseda Sa-maai, who says this is an illness thatstrikes when you least expect it.

Do you have a high blood pressure, aburning sensationwhenyouurinate, orpuffy eyes, hands and feet? Do you suf-fer from fatigue, shortness of breath,loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting,constant thirst or a bad taste in themouth?

DuringNationalKidneyWeek,whichruns from Tuesday 2 September to Sat-urday 6 September, residents are en-couraged to find out whether kidneydisease affects you and pledge to be-come a kidney donor.

Renal specialist Dr Keith Houghtonsays salt and high blood pressure aretwo silent killers.

A high salt intake and hypertensionare two of the most common causes ofkidney disease. By the time many peo-ple present with symptoms and signs ofkidney disease (especially hyperten-sion and diabetes), it may be too late tohave prevented serious kidney and/orcardio-vascular dysfunction, he ex-plains.

The kidneys are the filters of thebody and are used to produce urine andexcrete unwanted waste in the body.Kidneys produce 150F of urine a day,but keep back 149F of useful substances,like protein, and excrete 2Fof waste.

Houghton sayswhenkidneysno long-er function properly the body is slowlypoisoned and cannot get rid of or pro-duce essential hormones and nutrients.

When your kidneys dont work prop-erly the body cannot get rid of the un-wanted waste, it cant provide the nutri-ents to take care of our bones and joints,allowing for a solid and healthy skele-ton and cant control the amount ofacidity and alkalinity (pH) in the body.

It also wont be able to producechemicals which control our bloodpressure, and produce other chemicalswhich produce our red blood cells andthis will lead to insufficient oxygen sup-ply to the body. The kidneys are also re-sponsible for destroying chemicals andhormones which the body doesnt needany more like insulin.

A healthy lifestyle is the easiest wayto prevent kidney disease. Not smok-ing, limiting alcohol intake, drinkinglots of water and exercise all play a bigrole in the prevention of kidney fail-ure.

He says maintaining a healthy diet isalso important.

Sammy Sampson has been living

with a donor kidney for 27 years andsays life doesnt stop after renal failure.

If you detect the problem earlyenough you can go on dialysis and re-ceive a transplant if need be, he says.

Sampson spent six months on dialy-sis before his transplant. My motherand four siblings all tested to see if theycoulddonatemeakidneybutnonewerea match. I received my kidney from ayoung man who died in a car accident.I need to take 20 tablets a day but lifegoes on. All we need are people who arewilling to donate their kidneys.

Samaai says part of her job as nation-al coordinator for renal care is to createawareness of kidney disease.

To this end, she has arranged a Pa-tient Forum with the theme The gift oflife.

The event will consist of presenta-tions by, among others, a kidney spe-cialist and patients undergoing treat-ments.

It will be the first time such a forumis held and I am very excited about it,she says.

The event is on Saturday 13 Septem-ber from 14:00 to 17:00 at the Samaj Cen-tre in Gatesville.

The event will be open to all kidneypatients and a relative of each.V For more information contact Samaai on079 490 4773. Visit www.odf.org.za to find outabout being an organ donor.

Beware bogus electricity agentsA warning is being issued for homeownersto beware of companies offering free energyassessments, apparently onbehalf ofEskom.

This warning comes on the back of reportsthat a supplier of solar water heaters hasbeen posing as an Eskom agent conductingenergy assessments for homeowners.

The so-called agents method is to targetpensioners via telephone.

People who agree to a consultation and al-low the sales representatives into theirhomes have been treated aggressively andgiven a bogus evaluation of their house-holds energy usage.

The homes geyser consumption is usuallyhighlighted as the critical cause of high-en-ergy consumption and people are subse-quently coerced into buying a solar waterheater from the company.

Eskom senior general manager for inte-grated demand management Andrew Etz-inger confirms that Eskom has not commis-sioned any suppliers to conduct free energyassessments. He advises homeowners

against letting anyone into their homes.When Eskom does implement residential

energy savings interventions, we ensurethat residents are notified beforehand andrun awareness campaigns in the local me-dia, he says.

Homeowners are advised against buyingenergy-saving technologies from suppliersclaiming theyhavebeen testedandendorsedby Eskom.

You are under no obligation to allow any-one into your home to conduct energy as-sessments or sell energy-saving products. Ifyou are approached by salespeople claiminga technology or device has been endorsed byEskom, be sceptical, Etzinger says.

He further advises that homeowners al-ways purchase energy-saving technologiesfrom a reputable supplier and look for theSABS mark.V Consumers can call Eskoms Solar Helpdesk on(011) 800 4744 or visit www.eskom.co.za/idm or http://bit.ly/accreditedsolarsuppliers for a list of accredited solar water heating system suppliers.

Cape Town in full bloomDeciding whether to have neat, mowedparks and verges or a display of newlyblossomed spring flowers is annually adifficult decision to make.

Either way it is a choice that delightssome residents while leaving others un-happy, says the City of Cape Towns May-oral Committee member for CommunityServices and Special Projects BelindaWalker.

Cape Town is experiencing a winter ofhigh rainfall, interspersed with periodsof warm weather.

This weather promotes the germina-tion and rapid growth of many species ofwild flowers and grasses across CapeTown. Walker says grasses and weeds inparticular, thrive under these conditionsand parks and sidewalks can start to lookuntidy almost overnight.

The annual spring flowers have alsostarted to bloom in public open spaces.

In the past, City Parks curtailed themowing of certain areas during the flow-ering period to allow flowers to bloomand shed their seeds.

But this proved problematic in thatthere was also a proliferation of weedsand grasses. This year, City Parks willkeep mowed areas tidy as a priority.Some wild flower areas may be identifiedand mowed at a later date but they willbe clearly signposted, she says.

Walker adds that there are still manyopen areas throughout the city, includingidentified biodiversity areas or naturalsensitive areas, where mowing does nottake place and where spring flowers canbe seen. City Parks will monitor the areasthat are starting to look untidy.

Staff and contractors will work addi-tional hours to limit or reduce any mow-ing backlogs, but the department appealsto residents to be patient.

PINELANDS

Step closer to camera projectASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The Pinelands Street Camera Project hascollected 25% of the funds required forthe project and need another 120 resi-dent to get on board to realise phase one ofthe project.

Over R550 000 collected includes once-off,monthly and business contributions.

Peoples Post reported that a four-phasecamera network system could take crimeprevention in Pinelands to the next levelwith proactive CCTV monitoring (Cameranetwork planned for Pinelands, 19 June).

This was revealed at the Pinelands Rate-payers Association meeting at Pinelands Li-brary on Wednesday 11 June.

The meeting was attended by the Pine-lands Neighbourhood Watch, Pinewatch Se-curity, residents and local ward councillorBrian Watkyns.

Pinewatch Security decided to take the aproactive step to make Pinelands safer bylaunching the Pinelands Street CameraProject.

The project was established to incorporatethe neighbourhood watch, residents, wardcouncillor and community policing forum.

Peter Hofmann, chairperson of the Pine-

lands Neighbourhood Watch, agreed thatPinelands needs a Licence Plate Recognition(LPR) project.

We all share a common goal and essen-tially joint responsibility to improve the se-curity situation in Pinelands. To gain fullcommunity support the project requirestransparency, accountability and communi-ty participation, he said.

Hofmann said this can be achievedthrough the formation of a Section 21 non-profit organisation with Pinewatch, rate-payers, CPF and the neighbourhood watchas partners.

The project committee states in a report

that R2.3m is required for the first phase ofthe project.

Patrick Pillay, general manager of the se-curity company, said phase one carries thehighest costs and requires all the initial set-up equipment including theWiFi infrastruc-ture, control room monitors, computers andserver equipment with LPR recording soft-ware.

Presentations are being planned for deliv-ery to large businesses in Pinelands.

Auditor Chris Brinkworth has begun theprocess to establish a Section 21 companywhich is expected to take up to five monthsto finalise.

Run a MileOne mans quest is to run the TableMountain Challenge route seventimes over seven days. All this to im-prove the lives of seven or more children in need of facial surgery.

The race, called the Miles forSmiles Mad Run, is the brainchild ofDr Jean van Lierop, who has chal-lenged ultra runners David Grierand Andrew Stuart to join him in theTable Mountain Challenge (TMC).

The race takes place from Sunday7 to Saturday 13 September whenseven teams will run 37kms a dayaround Table Mountain to raiseawareness and funds for the plightof children born with cleft lips andpalates, says a statement.

Sponsor Cipla, in conjunctionwith Operation Smile, has commit-ted to facilitating such surgeries forseven children during the race peri-od.

Van Lierop, who initiated the MadRun, says the TMC route is a toughand challenging trail run, even forexperienced trail runners who arefit and capable.

Each pair or team of four relayrunners had to pay R14 000 to enterthe race R11 000 goes towards thefacilitation of a cleft lip or palate op-eration for one child, while the re-maining R3 000 goes to South Afri-can National Parks to ensure the up-liftment of Table Mountain NationalPark, thereby ensuring the preser-vation of the environment.

And nothing no food or water is supplied to the runners in ex-change for the entry fee.

All proceeds go towards helpingchange the lives of seven children,by giving them their God-given rightto smile, says Van Lierop.

Grier, managing trustee of CiplaSA Foundation, says one in every 750children in Africa is born with a cleftpalate or lip, and one in 10 babiesborn with this condition do not makeit to their first birthday. Malnutri-tion, medical and psychologicalproblems also compound the prob-lem. Life can be a tough and compli-cated place for children and not be-ing able to smile shouldnt have tolimit their experience of the world.

Rynard van der Westhuizen, CiplaSA director of Corporate Affairs,says this innovative and worthycharity concept allows the founda-tion to deliver on two of its sustaina-ble social investment goals. Not on-ly does it create a platform to assistOperation Smile in creating aware-ness for the plight of children bornwith cleft lips and palates, but alsohelps conserve our environment, inthe form of South Africas very ownseventh wonder of the world, TableMountain.

The event will close with the cele-bration of the Table Mountain CrazyRuns 10-year anniversary on 13 Sep-tember.

All funds raised as part of thisevent will go towards the Miles forSmiles initiative.V Show your support to the runners or makedonations by visiting http://milesforsmiles.co.za/makeadonation.

TO LET

Dirty Whites move to the topTASMIN CUPIDO

@TazzCup

Come the 2015 club rugby season, theSouthern Suburbs will boast with sixteams in the top tier of Western Prov-ince club rugby.

Following the final round of matches inthe top three leagues last weekend, the fiveteams with current Super League A statuscemented their spots for next year.

And with Villager RFC winning the SuperLeague B title after their 25-23 victory overSir Lowrians RFC at Brookside on Saturday,the Claremont side will return to SuperLeague A next season.

Maties were crowned SLA champions forthe third consecutive year, after HamiltonRFC could not hold of the Maroon Machinescharge in their 27-25 loss at Danie CravenStadium on Saturday.

The Stellenbosch side were deserved win-ners, as they were the only undefeated sidein the league.

But Hammies loss comes at a cost forUCT, as they had to settle for second place.

The Green Point side finished the seasonin third place.

The last round of matches also had a bit-tersweet ending for False Bay RFC theythrashed NNK 58-3 at Philip Herbstein Field,but had to be content with the fifth place fin-ish and no spot in the Community Cup.

Going into the weekend the Constantiaclub still had hopes of making the nationalrugby championships, but Durbanville-Bel-lvilles 38-22 victory over Bellville RFCmeant they, not The Bay, would feature innext years Community Cup.

Both Primrose RFC and SK Walmers fin-ished their seasons on a low, as Roses weredefeated 34-33 by UWC and Victorians beat

Walmers 46-31.V In SLB, Mitchells Plain club Collegians

RFC ensured they would remain in the sec-ond highest league in the Cape as they beatGoodwood 42-22 in Lentegeur.

Despite their 39-32 loss away to Bracken-fell RFC, Surrey Estate Rangers will also re-tain their SLB status next season.V In Super League C, Lansdownes Violets

RFC were defeated 20-10 by a spirited and de-termined Franschhoek United, who werethe leagues eventual winners.

Silvertree RFC were hammered 17-43 byStrand at Malta Park in Sybrandt Park.

The outcome of the MIT Rangers andNortherns RFC match at Avonwood Park inElsies River is not known.

It is believed the match had been called offas a result of ill-discipline on the pitch, butthis could not be confirmed at the time of go-ing to print.

While the matches in the top three leagueshave come to an end, the teams in the Cham-pions, City and Southern leagues will re-main in action this weekend.

WP Rugby also needs to finalise the teamsand fixtures for the Presidents Cup, whichbe played at City Park later this month.V On Saturday Masiphumelele will travel

to Philippi to take on Blue Stars United inthe Champions League, while CaledonianRoses host Young Stars at Noll Avenue.V In the City League, Perseverance take on

Busy Bees in Langa, Hamediehs host Police,Progress tackle Technicon Gardens andTemperance-Cities do battle with Watsonia.V Retreat hosts Bishop Lavis at Allenby

Drive Sports Complex in the SouthernLeague, while Rocklands plays Thistles andTitans take on Peninsula.V View all the results, logs and fixtures at www.wpclubrugby.co.za.
