PINELANDS
Demolition plan tabledTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
An application has been made to demol-ish the Suid-Afrikaanse Sentrum virNederland en Vlaandere (Sasnev)
building, known as the Huis der Nederland-en, in Pinelands.The cultural centre at 4 Central Square
(erf number 1958) is also known as the NG
Church hall.Most of the building is rented to the Dutch
Library Cape Town and Biblionef SA. It isalso used as a conference centre.It lies in Pinelands’ heritage zone.The application for demolition is current-
ly out for public comment.If demolished, a new four-storey building
will be built for business purposes.The proposal thus includes the need to re-
zone the property from a community zone togeneral business.This will permit the construction of a
building consisting of business premisessuch as shops, a supermarket, offices andflats. The built up on and street building lineconditions will be encroached on.It is alleged the owners of the building are
in the Netherlands and they are pushing thebuttons of the application from there.
Residents concernedThe application has created a bit of a
storm as residents have voiced their con-cerns on social media.According to posts on the Pinelands Face-
book page, some residents believe all effortmust be made to preserve the current build-ing.

Mental Health Awareness Month is cele-brated annually in October. This year
Cape Mental Health will raise awareness onthe theme of “Dignity in mental health”.One in four people in all communities
have a mental health condition, and one inevery four people has, at some point in theirlives, experienced a loss of dignity becauseof their mental health condition, says CapeMental Health director Ingrid Daniels.“Few people understand the truemeaning
of dignity, and even fewer realise the ex-
traordinary impact it has on our lives andrelationships. The social exclusion, lack ofresources, inequality, discrimination andstigma faced by many people with a mentalillness inhibits the restorationof their digni-ty,” she says.Cape Mental Health is aiming to restore
the dignity of patients and to address exter-nal factors that erode their dignity by offer-ing comprehensive, proactive and enablingmental health services in the province.There are still crucial issues that need to
be rectified to ensure the dignity of mentalhealth care patients, Daniels says.These include easy and reliable access to
the correct medication, access to communi-ty-based rehabilitation centres, the alloca-tion of sufficient beds and resources to psy-chiatric and other facilities, ensuring medi-cal staff have basic training in andunderstanding of mental health and ensur-ing patient participation in treatment plans.“Although South Africa has legislation in
place to ensure the protection of the rights
of people with psychiatric and intellectualdisabilities, it is our ongoing responsibilityto ensure that this legislation is implement-ed so that all SouthAfricans are treatedwithdignity and respect,” she says.Michael Hattingh, amember of CapeMen-
tal Health’s psychosocial rehabilitation pro-gramme, called Fountain House, says: “Weshould always remember that in order to re-store dignity, all people living with amentalillness have a voice and should be heard. Iam not defined by my mental illness.”
Healthcare should uphold dignity

Some residents have also asked how sur-roundingpropertieswouldbeaffectedby thenew development, citing the possibility thatproperty values will be affected negativelyas their main concern.A reliable source, who spoke to People’s
Post on condition of anonymity, says manypeople would be affected by the demolitionas a lot of people use the centre.“Wearenot in favour ofwhat’s happening.
Over the past 18 years we have built a goodreputation and this is the centre that peoplerely on. This is the only private centre in theworld and if lost, we will lose everything.“We are not very happy. People are send-
ing in letters onhowtheywill be affectedandno-one is in favour of it. This is so dear tous.”Councillor Brian Watkyns says he is
aware of the application.“Although there are floor plans, there is
no information regarding the style or impacton the surrounding area. While additionalresidential accommodation is a positive andcommercial undertakingsmeanmuch-need-ed employment, I have concerns,” he says.
Watkyns is concerned about possible neg-ative impact on:. the traffic and parking in the area,. the intrusion of commercial activities in-
to two residential streets,. the visual impact of the height in relationto lower surrounding buildings,. the general impact on the residential prop-
erties at the rear and. the impact on the Garden of Remem-brance.Residentswhowould like to review the ap-

HARFIELD VILLAGE
Narrow road puts fear in driversTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Business owners in Harfield Vil-lage say parking is a nightmare
in 2nd Avenue.The biggest problem is close to
Harfield Centre where many busi-nesses are situated. The owners’concern is that the street is so nar-row. Due to the lack of parkingspace motorists park on both sidesof the road, leaving very littlespace for other motorists to drive
through. They are in constant fearthat their parked cars may be dam-aged in side swipes.
They have been trying to get theproblem sorted for years but theircalls to have red or yellow linespainted on the road fall on deafears, they say.
Business owners watch on astrucks, delivery vans and refusecollectors block the road. Trucksare sometimes driven on pave-ments as there is not enough spacein the road.
The business owners wish to seea sign stopping big trucks from us-ing the road. They also want trafficofficers to monitor the area, assome people tend to park anywhich way and motorists speed.
Just last week, a business own-er’s car parked outside was dam-aged by a truck. Lindsay Luppnowsays her car was damaged so badlythat it might be written off.
“A very large truck tried tosqueeze down the Avenue and hitmy legally parked car on the sideof the road. The car was draggedfor about 10 metres down the road,up onto the pavement, and rammedinto the side of the steps of anotherbuilding.
“This happens all the time andwe have been saying we wantmarked parking bays and red oryellow lines, but none of that hashappened. We have to deal with itbecause it is becoming a huge in-convenience and very expensive.All the cars, though they are
parked legally, are at risk,” saysLuppnow.
Al Homan, another businessowner, says the area is old andsmall.
“Everything has changed. Nowmost households have more thanone car. People have to park onboth sides, leaving little space.
“Trucks have to come through todeliver and that’s another big prob-lem. Instead of using Rosmead,they use this road.
“This is a big issue that hasn’tbeen dealt with properly. If wecan’t have the lines we would rath-er have demarcated parking on oneside of the road,” he says.
Problem for yearsJames Fernie, chairperson of the
Harfield Village Association, saysthe street is a problem area.
“Every year there is more devel-opment with restaurants, shopsand other things opening. Peopleare parking on both sides of theroad and there are trucks. At timesit forms a gridlock and people haveto sit there for a long time becausethey can’t move.
“People are endlessly complain-ing; we have been trying to addressthis with little help.”
Fernie says the Association istrying to resolve the problem butauthorities are not forthcoming.
“We hope this time the City willlisten and come hear our propos-als, because this can’t continue.”
Brett Herron, mayoral commit-
tee member for transport, says theCity is aware of the congestionclose to the Village Centre. The on-ly long-term solution is for resi-dents to reduce their reliance onprivate cars.
“Harfield Village was never de-signed to accommodate the trafficvolumes it currently attracts. Withthe densification of the suburb andhomeowners having more thanone car, and with limited off-streetparking, they are also congestingthe streets by parking on the street.There has also been an increase inthe number of offices, shops andrestaurants,” he says.
Herron adds that 2nd Avenue isonly 6m wide and can only accom-
modate parking on one side of theroad.
“Should we further limit the on-street parking with yellow or redlines along certain roads, we willdisplace these motorists to otherresidential roads in the vicinity.Thus, we will only displace theproblem from one street to thenext. That said, congestion in cer-tain circumstances forces motor-ists to slow down and it discoura-ges extraneous traffic from usingthe area as a thoroughfare,” hesays.
However, the City will conductan investigation into the parkingissue, though this is a complicatedmatter, he says.
A truck tries to get down narrow 2nd Avenue in Harfield Village.
A business owner’s car was hit anddragged by a truck while parked on2nd Avenue.

Safehouse forwomen burgledASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
A safehouse for abused women and chil-dren experienced a huge blow when the
property was broken into and items worthR45 000 stolen.Now the home is in dire need of suppliesand is turning to the public for support.The home is situated inWynberg, but theprecise address cannot be revealed to pro-tect the vulnerable women and childrenwho live at the premises.Warrant officer Silvino Davids, spokes-person of Wynberg police station, has con-firmed the break-in.The safehouse is managed by LavenderHill-based organisation Philisa Abafazi Be-thu. Manager Janine Poggenpoel says thehome is an emergency facility which pro-vides a safe space for women for up to 72hours. But there have been women andtheir children who have stayed longer, de-pending on their situation.“We take care of these women and chil-dren and provide them with a place of safe-ty, away from their abusivehomes andpart-ners,” she says.The break-in has made it difficult forthem to take onmore people as they are lowon supplies.“We can only accommodate a certainnumber of people as we rely on donationsand fundraiserswhohost events to raise themoney needed to buy basic supplies,” shesays.Poggenpoel says the property stolen in-cludes brand new blankets, as well as foodand clothing.
“These are all basic items required tohelp thewomen and children. It is tough forus now, but somehow we manage. But wedo call on the public to support us and ourcause,” she says.The home has been open since 2012 andcaters forwomenandchildren fromall com-munities.Some of the women who enter the homecome with little or nothing and everythingis provided for them – from clothing andfood to supplies for their babies, which Pog-genpoel says is “extremely costly”.“We feel bad when we have to turn some-one away because we do not have enoughspace or food. We have dedicated our timeto this home, to making it a place wherewomen and their children can feel safe.Herewe guide andprotect them, butwe can-not do it without the support of the public,”she says.Poggenpoel says after the break-in every-one is feeling vulnerable and scared.“We are onlywomen here andwe feel likeour space has been invaded. The little bitthat we have was taken from us and forwomen and children who come from abu-sivebackgrounds it is extremely scary,” sheadds.Poggenpoel says that despite the break-inthey will continue to provide a safe spacefor women and children who are victims ofsexual and domestic violence to live freelyandwithout fear and to support and educatewomen and children about their rights andfreedoms.Readers who want to donate or make acontribution toward the safehouse can con-tact Poggenpoel on 081 320 5834.

Direct claimant EdwinaMakgamatha is a survivor of ahit-and-run accident that nearlyclaimed her life and left herpartner seriously injured. To thisday, the driver who caused thehorrific accident five years ago onthe notorious Mabopane Highwayoutside Pretoria, resulting inthe car rolling several times, isunknown.
Edwina heeded RAF’s call to approachthe Fund directly, thus ensuring theirclaim was handled quicker and that theyreceived their full settlement, withouthaving to pay any legal fees. Thanks tothe RAF’s compassionate and professionalhandling of their case, they receivedfull compensation and were granted anundertaking certificate to cater for theirfuture health needs and requirements.
For her physical needs, the RAF ensuredthat Edwina received all mobility disabilitydevices she required such as a wheelchair,a bath bench and pressure mattresses.Furthermore, her home was modified tomake it more accessible for wheelchairuse, while hand controls were installed inEdwina’s car, allowing her to regain herindependence once again.
The 30-year-old mother of two underwenta long and gruelling rehabilitation. Not onlydid she have to deal with accepting herphysical injuries but also with the massive
psychological and emotional traumawhen she realised that she would neverwalk again. However, Edwina credits herrecovery to the enormous psychologicaland emotional support the RAF caregiversprovide.
Today, Edwina has victoriously turnedher pain into a new mission in life – sheis making a difference in the lives ofmany left paralysed by road crashes,especially those living in townships whereservices for the disabled remain poor.Her company, Thusanang (meaning ‘tohelp one another’), has forged close tieswith numerous manufacturers of mobilitydisability products and along with herspecially trained caregivers, refers themfor home and car modifications. She doesmotivational talks, visits rehab centres,supplies medical consumables, and is evenestablishing a driving school for disabledpeople!
“The RAF has not only given me supportduring a hectic period but has alsoassisted me to establish my business,” shesaid. “When I was young, I wanted to bea nurse, and I feel what I’m doing nowis the closest thing to achieving mydream.”
Edwina can be contacted on011 – 453 0480.
For more details about RAF’s services, contact the Call Centre on0860 23 55 23, from Monday to Friday between 07h45 and 16h00.

From the beginning of this month the buri-al hours at Maitland, Welmoed and Khaye-litsha cemeteries have been extended onSaturdays and Sundays.This is being done for a trial period of six
months.The purpose of the extension is to accom-
modate more burials over the weekend, toprovide amore dignified service in the bus-iest cemeteries and to avoid congestion be-tween noon and 14:00.The extended hours will be on Saturdays
from 08:00 to 16:00 and on Sundays fromnoon to 15:00.Belinda Walker, mayoral committee
member for community services and spe-cial projects, says about 1000 burials amonth take place in Cape Town cemeteries.Saturday is the much preferred day for
funerals at the City’s cemeteries.“We want our cemeteries to be quiet and
dignified spaces where people can congre-gate to bury and mourn their loved ones.But with so many funerals taking place onthe same day, this is no easy task. I believethat the extension of the burial bookinghours on Saturdays at our three largestcemeteries will go a long way towards ad-dressing this challenge,” says Walker.Sunday morning burials for specific de-
nominations will still apply.

Call to help kidsand their familiesTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
The Rondebosch Community Improve-ment District (RCID) is calling on the
residents of Rondebosch and the surround-ing area to open their hearts and help withdonations for sick children and their fami-lies.The donations collected, which can in-
clude peanut butter, jam, coffee, sugar,long-life milk, tea, as well as toothbrushes,facecloths, soap, toys, story books, tamponsand deodorant, will be given to the Friendsof the Children’s Hospital Association (Fo-cha). In turn, they will distribute it to thechildren and their parents who use the RedCross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.The hospital has recently upgraded and
expanded its accommodation so that fami-lies of patients from outside Cape Town canstay while their children are being treated.Besides the 120 family members staying inthis unit, there are usually 60 parents whosleep on a chair beside their child’s hospitalbed.Shirley Aldum, manager of the RCID,
says these families have often rushed to thehospital without any clothes or toiletriesand do not have the resources to buy them.“Focha provides breakfast and supper for
these families out of donations, and lunchis sponsored by the Mustafin Organisation.There are times when there is not enoughfood for breakfast and supper. Although theupgraded and expanded parents’ accommo-dation has beautiful kitchen facilities, thepantry is bare, hence the donations will goa long way in helping these families.“Let’s take this opportunity to support
these families sitting anxiously by theirchildren’s bedsides by providing themwithfood for an evening meal and toiletries fortheir hospital stay. Let us come togetherand stock their pantry,” she says.Donations can be dropped off over the
course of the week and every first week ofthemonth at the RCID office at the RivertonRoadgate on theBishops campus.The itemswill be delivered to the hospital where theFocha team will distribute them as needed.V For more information contact Gill Cullinan [email protected] or Jean Alfeld on [email protected].

Our lives have become intrinsically linked with technolo-gy.
We would never dream of leaving the house without acellphone. Not feeling the weight of one in your pocketleaves you feeling vulnerable, naked.
Whilewe’remore connected thaneverbefore,we’ve for-gotten how to actually connect with those around us.
How often do you sit around a table with friends, withat least one person (if not all of them) glued to theirphones?
Cellphones take prized place next to the bed, are alwayskept on full volume and can’t be ignored, even while driv-ing – or at least that’s how we behave.
But when did we forget our manners?When did it become socially acceptable to ignore your
dinner company to reply to a text message or to answeremails while in a meeting?
And surely switching your phone off during an event,concert, movie, wedding or church service should be abasic courtesy.
Yet we regularly find little Tommy’s solo in the schoolplay, the romantic love scene of the latest blockbuster oreven the vows of a bride and groom interrupted by thechirping of a phone.
What does it say about us as a society that money hasto be spent on advertising to ensure cellphones are turnedoff before a movie and priests have to start sermons byasking that cellphones be switched off?
It speaks to a lack of respect for others that we can’teven manage simple cellphone etiquette.
But really, it should be quite simple – if you wouldn’ttalk during the event, others shouldn’t hear your cell-phone.
It’s a courtesy that we should expend without thinking,as simple as saying please or thank you.
So please turn off your cellphone. Thank you.
I am one of ‘those’I lived in a shack made of metal sheets,wood and plastic.
I remember how my mother made food– of which there was never secondhelpings – on a primus stove if she andmy dad got some money and other times,which were mostly, my mother cookedfood on an open fire.
My clothes were always broken anddirty. Now and then I would get a pairof shoes either too small or too big, butit was my shoes. Every morning my dadwould take his trolley, which he some-how got from a supermarket, and withhis thin, dirty clothes and broken shoesleave our shack – our home – to skuddle.
I would later learn what the word“skuddle” meant for my parents and forus children. Every day and night foryears I and my family used the sameblankets, which got thinner and moretorn year after year.
I would play with children around mealso living in shacks and I knew noother way. I thought this was how onewas supposed to live.
At age six I saw some children put ona set of neat clothing they would call aschool uniform and walk for miles to aschool to “get educated”. When I askedmy mother when was I going to beeducated, she would tell me “One daywhen there is money” and when theywould get a cement and brick housefrom the government.
At age seven I was taken by my dad tohelp him skuddle. We walked out of therickety fence surrounding our informalsettlement and I was so proud, so excitedto go with my daddy to work, to skuddleand so contribute to our survival and tocurb the ever-lingering hunger pains.
We came to big, beautiful brick houseswith big tarred roads, big fences andeverywhere there were shiny cars.Everywhere fat little children my agewere playing and sounding happy inbeautiful, neat clothes.
To me this was like another worldand, with all the lawns and parks andtarred roads, I thought this was heaven.I then saw bins standing on the pave-ments and dad explained to me that “die
ryk mense” (the rich people) place theirgarbage and dirt in these bins. In thesebins were goodies: Items my dad wouldscratch out and place in his trolley.
The bins had all kinds of smells,mostly unpleasant, but this did not determy daddy. This was skuddle.
I will never forget how I innocentlywaved and smiled at the uncle and theaunties behind the fences of thesebeautiful homes. To my shock I wasignored as if I was a pest, a disease.
But a very few greeted my dad andhanded him a few items of clothing andsome bread. My dad and others of ourcommunity had to hurry before thetrucks came to empty the bins.
With my dad’s guidance I helped heapor load plastic, cardboard and metalpieces onto our trolley. In some bins mydad found some clothing and now I knewwhere my “new” clothing came from.
At the end of the skuddle we went tothe nearest scrapyard and my dad gotR53 for his goods. We went to a shopand Dad bought a half loaf of bread, atin of fish, four loose cigarettes for himand Mom, R7 French polony and alollipop for me.
Now, years later, I own my owntrolley and I do my own skuddle. When Isee a piece of newspaper lying around Iadmire the pictures but the words meannothing to me as I cannot read and yet Ilive in a beautiful country with awonderful concept that is the Constitu-tion that states all citizens are equal, sothe people and the politicians say. And Ihear people preached that in the BibleJesus stated very clearly that one mustlove one’s neighbour as one lovesoneself, and I also hear in our democrat-ic South Africa we have freedom ofmovement and freedom of association,but yet I am called “those people”.
Then my prayer is that you who livein brick homes, who have work, whohave bank accounts and are educated,you or your children will never wear myshoes or my clothing and live where Ilive.

‘Lovelylanguage’ ismarginalisedWe recently celebrated Heritage Monthand Day as a rich, proud nation ofdiversity, the rainbow nation with itseleven languages.
It should not just be a day to take offfrom work but to celebrate our trueidentity, our upbringing, our patriotism,traditions, cultures.
I was born in the lovely town ofUpington in the Northern Cape, aprovince rich with culture and blessedwith the most friendly people.
It is where Afrikaans is proudlyspoken. Where people speak the languagelike poetry. So, it is part of my culture,my upbringing and tradition.
Over the last decade or so I have cometo realise with alarm that this lovelylanguage is being marginalised, especial-ly at schools. If a parent wants to enroltheir child whose home language isAfrikaans, they have limited options.
They are then indirectly forced to puttheir children in English-speakingclasses. This then forces the child to notbe confident in class, to feel overwhelmedand struggle and in some cases it is acontributing factor to the drop-out figure.
In Mitchell’s Plain, for example, thereare very few Afrikaans classes forentry-level education and some parentshave to look outside the area. I am quitesure the department knows about thesituation but “fiddles while Rome burns”and want to be politically correct.
I read that the department wants tointroduce Mandarin as well as anAfrican language into the school sylla-bus, which is good if it makes ourchildren more marketable but not at theexpense of other equally importantlanguages.
Let us be accommodating in our proudheritage in our quest for true nationbuilding.
Lank leef Afrikaans.C. BASSON,

Choir, guests recreate WWII lifeLOUISA STEYL
@LouNotes
“To be part of a 75th anniversary is al-ways special, but to be part of a memo-
rial event for that period of time is really spe-cial.”So says Barrie Jones, treasurer and chor-ister of the Cape Welsh Choir. The all-malegroupwill be presenting a really special con-cert to commemorate the 75th anniversaryof the Battle of Britain on Wednesday 28 Oc-tober.The choir has been presenting an annualcommemorative concert at the Simon’sTown Naval Base Church for about the last15 years and has a long-standing relation-ship with the organisers, the RAF Associa-tion of South Africa.With the 75th anniversary being “quite amilestone”, this year’s concert will be some-thing extra special.“For us it’s a big departure,” Barrie says,explaining that they would normally go onstage and sing in theWelshmale voice choirstyle.This time round, the Cape Welsh Choirhas put a full production or showcase togeth-er in the spirit of reflecting the “era and cir-cumstances” of the period around WorldWar II.The concert takes place against the back-drop of a specially-built set that recreates atypical bomb shelter in the London under-ground, with the choir dressed in clothestypical of the era.“It sounds dramatic maybe, but they werehard times, so there are no pink shirts, forexample. It’s all very staid, working-classstuff.”They’ll be singing medleys of a selectionof well-known songs from the time.“All of those songs were used to emboldenthat spirit of resistance.”
Barrie explains that music was used inWorld War II to unify Britain. Many of thesongs were popularised by “the force’ssweetheart”, Vera Lynn.SouthAfrican soloist Yvette Elliott will bebringing Lynn’s songs to life, complete withperiod costumes. For a bit of variation,they’ll be joined by the “rousing” Cape FieldArtillery Pipes and Drums as well as guestsfrom the UK: The RAF Salon Orchestra withtheir big band sound and theQueen’s ColourSquadron with their precision marchingdisplay.All of this will be neatly threaded togetherwith a “well-constructed” narrative put to-gether by Reverend Ralph Thornley, a keenamateur historian. “He’s got a wealth of in-formation and knowledge.”
Thornley tells the story of the fourmonthsof theBattle ofBritain, interspersedwith au-dio-visual clips to help recreate the atmos-phere around the war.“I think it’s going to be a very special occa-sion,” Barrie says, adding: “It’s going to bea once in a lifetime opportunity.”Made up of members from all over theCape Peninsula, the Cape Welsh Choir haspresented more than 800 concerts in its 33-year existence. “So, we’ve got a few mile-stones of our own.”The choir’s primary focus is on fundrais-ing for third parties and so far it’s been ableto help other organisations raise about R3m.Three members have been with the choirsince the beginning: Alan Thompson fromPinelands, Ian Jones from Table View and
Freddie Ahern from Brackenfell.While the average age of the choir mem-bers is 50-plus, they are always looking fornew and younger members and use everyconcert as a recruitment opportunity.Anyone interested in joining the choir cancontact chairperson Graham Tennison on021 696 1716 or 073 463 1028.Two performances take place at the Clare-mont civic centre on Wednesday 28 Octoberat 15:00 and 19:30. Tickets from Computicketcost R120 and R150 each for the respectiveperformances and proceeds will go towardsthe RAF (SA) Benevolent Fund.V For more information about the Cape Welsh Choir,visit capewelshchoir.co.za or find them on Facebook.Visit the Rodney Kilgour channel on YouTube for ataste of what to expect.

ciation was announced in Romelast week.WACE comprises six of the most
prestigious and largest mass par-ticipation events in the world,namely:. Cape Town Cycle Tour, theworld’s largest timed cycling event.TDFiveBoroBike Tour, the onlyclosed road mass participation cy-cling event in New York City, with32 000 participants. Vatternrundan in Sweden, thelongest and oldest mass participa-tion cycling event in the worldwith more than 6m kilometres rid-den each year. L’Etape du Tour, one of the mostbeautiful and toughest races rid-den over a stage of the Tour deFrance. RideLondon, the world’s largestfestival of cycling with more than95 000 riders on traffic-free roads inLondon and Surrey. Granfondo Campagnolo Roma, a
unique cycling experience inRomestarting in front of the ColosseumWACE has been formed to pro-
mote and increase cycling world-wide. With more than 200 000 par-ticipants from 90 countries riding
inWACEevents eachyear, theneworganisation should inspire newriders to take up the challenge ofcycling and to encourage riders totravel to participate in otherworld-class cycling events.
“It is a very exciting time for cy-cling with such rapid growth in in-terest and participation,” saidHugh Brasher, president of WACEandevent director forRideLondon.More major international cy-
cling events are set to join WACEand the association is planning thecreation of the “WACE challenge”with awards to riders who takepart in multiple WACE events.“The Cape Town Cycle Tour is
extremely excited and proud to beassociated with the founding ofWACE,” said David Bellairs, di-rector of the Cape Town CycleTour.“It is indeed an honour to be as-
sociated with this grouping of theworld’s most prestigiousmass par-ticipation cycling events.“The Cape Town Cycle Tour has
the promotion of cycling at its coreand the raising of money for chari-ty as key drivers, while at the sametime promoting Cape Town as adestination for cyclists across theglobe.“Working with the amazing
group of events will certainly as-sist us in achieving our aims. Be-ing able to share ideas and know-ledge with event organisers global-ly can only lead to betterexperiences for those participat-ing. It is wonderful that as a resultof the international reach ofWACE, more cyclists from all overthe world will now get to learnabout and discover other events incountries from as far afield asSouth Africa.”

JOSEPH PILLAY
A sizzling volley, 25 yards from goal bydefender Lwandile Soboyise liftedYoung Idols to its maiden Coca-Cola
Cup crown at the Athlone Stadium on Satur-day.TheManenberg outfit waswrapped in glo-
ry after 90minutes of thrilling soccer as theysaw off an equally determined Milan United2-1 in the lucrative Safa Cape Town knock-out competition.The competition is modelled after the
iconic English FA Cup, attracting 532 ama-teur teams throughout the region.Young Idols’ ability to show off its prow-
ess, in which the team members dished upsome silky moves, probably signified theirhunger andwillingness to produce the goodsto walk away as champions.Milano United was not completely out of
it, but the team was not as effective as itsYoung Idols counterpart, playing good soc-cer, but in thewrongareas.Wheneventuallygiven the opportunity to score twice throughstriker Fawaaz Basadien, they failed to con-vert their chances into goals.That squared chances in which their
coach Desmond Crowie shook his head invain.The boys in the white and green shirts
were spurred on by the brass band from theManenberg community. Like a 12th man,the band lifted the players. The moment of
magic arrived in the 73rd minute whenLwandile Soboyise put up his hand, whizzedpast the first two defenders before turninghis body in and out of the next fourmarkers.He thenunleashed from25mavolley that leftMilano United’s custodian Kyle Johnsonclutching invisible straw.That turned out to be the decisive match-
winner that had theR35000 prize and the tro-phy engraved in Young Idols’ name on a ped-estal.While Crowie and hisMilano players’ nos-
es were left buried in the turf – shocked anddisappointed, they still earned R20 000.The three Coca-Cola Cup finals:
