OCEAN VIEW: RESIDENTS’ FURY AT LONG QUEUES AND LOOMING DEADLINES

Struggle to access SassaMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

“It is a mess.”These are the words used by a 27-

year-old Ocean View mother to de-scribe her experience at the South AfricanSocial Services Agency (Sassa).Keisha Callis describes how she spent sev-

eral hours in a line to re-register for a childgrant, only to be turned away twice in onemonth.Last week residents vented their fury,

claiming more than 1 000 people showed upat the multipurpose centre in Milky Way tore-register.However, Sassa says on Tuesday 26 No-

vember only 297 people were at the centre.

“We registered 245 people and 52 peoplecould not be registered. This brings the totalto 297 not 1 000,” says Sassa spokespersonShivani Wahab.Callis says she first visited the centre two

weeks ago, after being informed she neededto re-register for her grants.After several hours of waiting in line, she

was sent away. “Just after 15:00, the officialspacked up and told us they would not be see-ing anyone else that day. People were upset.We had all wasted our time,” Callis says.She returned to the centre last week and

was shocked to see the number of peoplewaiting in line. “People were frustrated andgot into arguments with officials and eachother. It’s a mess. Something has to be doneurgently,” Callis says.

Ocean View Civic Association chairper-son Oliver Castro says they have receivedseveral complaints from desperate resi-dents.He claims Sassa officials only visit Ocean

View twice a month, so many people areturned away.“We are particularly concerned about the

elderly people who queue there in the earlyhours of themorning, just tomake sure theyget their papers in order,” Castro says.But Wahab says Sassa visits the area eve-

ry second Tuesday, assisting between 150 to180 people daily.Castro slams Sassa for not having more

staff at the centre. He believes the numberof people receiving grants should be consid-ered when deploying staff.

Callis has been given three months to re-register and as the clock ticks on, she is con-cerned it will not be done in time.“A month and a half has already passed

and, despite going to the centre on severaloccasions, I (have not been) helped,” shesays. “What am I supposed to do when Sassadoes not have enough staff to see us?”Wahab says Sassa utilises community

newspapers and radio stations to communi-cate their schedule to the public.She says nine staff members have been

sent to Ocean View, with two of them start-ing earlier in the day.Wahab further explains more staff cannot

be sent to the centre as other service pointsare also under pressure due to the high in-flux of beneficiaries.

Children from the Elisabeth YolisaChildren’s Home in Masiphumelele were treated to a Christmasparty in Glencairn. The homelooks after about 70 children every day. Children laughed anddanced as they celebrated thepast year. The Christmas party isan annual event where the children are treated to jumping castles, games and gifts. Volunteerswere also thanked for their hardwork during 2013. Both LuluthoMasondnana (left) and ChumileMbi enjoyed the ball games on theday. See page 7 for more.

DIAL-A-RIDE: WAITING LIST OF 6000

Long wait for transportNADINE MOODIE

@NadineMoodie1

At the break of dawn she is woken byher mother who gets her ready forschool. When the school bus arrives

at 06:35, Jayda Heuvel is wheeled to the ve-hicle and loaded into the bus by her family.The five-year-old will only return home

from the Friends Day Centre in Maitlandat 16:00. This is her daily routine.She was born mentally and physically

disabled, and was enrolled to the school inJanuary.At the time, hermotherMichelle applied

to the City of Cape Town’s Dial-a-Ride(DAR) service. She qualified to use the dis-abled transport provider, but the City in-formed Michelle there was no place on thebus for her daughter.Since then she has travelled with the

school bus, which costs the family 70%more than the DAR service would.“I found out it would cost R6 per ride and

R12 a day, which works out to R240 permonth. After I applied to DAR they said sheneeded to be assessed,” Michelle says.A DAR bus collected Michelle and Jayda

from their home.“They took us to Tygerberg Hospital

where we discovered they had already as-sessed her at school and she qualified forthe service,” she says.“But space is limited and she can’t get a

seat. I don’t understandwhy the Citywouldhave this service; I’m disappointed. I’m notjust concerned about Jayda, but everybodyelse who needs it.”The school bus costs R750 per month,

while the DAR service would cost R240.This cost heavily affects the family as

Michelle is the breadwinner, with her hus-band working on short-term contracts.Friends Day Centre manager Diane

Stratton says 36 pupils travel with DARbuses, while 30 pupils are on the waitinglist. Some, she says, are unable to attendschool as a result. “We need this service,but the process is too slow. The City mustbuy buses to accommodate the disabled.Our school bus trip is too long for the chil-dren, while DAR is a shorter trip,” Strattonsays.DARdrivers are trained inFirstAid, gen-

erally don’t speed and are monitored viaCCTV cameras, she continues.Transport for the disabled is always a

problem.“DAR was not (established as a service)

to take children to school,” she says.“I’m hoping that with the expansion of

the MyCiTi Bus Service, (disabled) adultswill switch to make space for the childrento travel to school. This is an excellent serv-ice as it operates door-to-door.”The City has a waiting list of 6 000 regis-

tered DAR service applicants.Mayoral Committee member for Trans-

port Brett Herron says the service is cur-rently “oversubscribed” and it is “not pos-sible to meet the needs of all the registeredusers”.“The City is reviewing the current DAR

business plan and is seeking to integratethe service with the mainstream publictransport system where it is accessible tomore people with disabilities,” he says.“To continue this trend, smaller low-floor

(MyCiTi) buses with an extendable board-ing ramp are being built to be used on thebus routes that run innormal traffic. As theservice is rolled out acrossCapeTownmorepeople will be able to benefit from these in-novations.”Herron adds 54 children and 949 adults

currently use the 30 DAR vehicles, whichcanaccommodate betweeneight and 14peo-ple.The buses travel across the peninsula.Disabled People South Africa has been

questioning the accessibility of Dial-a-Ridefor the last three years, says spokespersonOlwethu Sipuka.“The Western Cape government is in-

fringing on our rights to work, because oftransport. We’ve written to the mayor, pre-mier and national transport department,”he says. “This is a national issue, becausedisabled people around the country arestruggling with accessibility to this serv-ice. There are not enough resources for theprogramme (to aid the disabled).”

ON THE GO: The City of Cape Town’s DialaRideservice has a longer waiting list than the numberof people it can accommodate.

OPERATION CLEAN UP: WORKING TOGETHER FOR A CAUSE

Digging deep in MasiMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The Masiphumele wetlands are alighter shade of green. This comes af-ter a community initiative to clean

the wetlands at the weekend.Scores of residents, equippedwith gum-

boots and gloves, digged in and did theirbit to keep their community clean.

The clean-up was organised by the StVincent de Paul Society in Kommetjie fol-lowing a visit to the wetlands in August.

President Bernadette Crewe-Brownsays the teamwere called in to assist resi-dents affected by the floods and wereshocked by the sights which greetedthem.

“The area was filled with litter anddirty nappies were just thrown on theground. We were concerned about thehealth implications and decided to hostthe clean-up,” she says.

Families living near the wetlands wereinvited to participate andwere givenbagsto clean the area surrounding theirhomes.

The clean-up was then extended toshared spaces such as street corners andcanals, before moving on to the wetlands.

Crewe-Brown explains residents weregiven guidelines on the importance of aclean environment and asked to sharewhat they had learnt with others.

Resident Alfred Magwayi, who partici-pated in the clean-up, raises concernsabout illegal dumping.

He says children playing near the stag-nant water in the wetlands often got sick.

“Their bodies are filled with rashes, be-cause the water is contaminated withdangerous chemicals as a result of dump-ing,” Magwayi says.

He further believes more clean-ups areneeded to keep the community healthy.

The volunteers received assistance

from the City of Cape Town’s waste man-agement department and the Pirates Soc-cer Club in Fish Hoek.

Large trucks were seen loading bagsfilled with rubbish in the streets ofMasiphumelele

Tyres, oil canisters, nappies, computercasings and rubble were extracted fromthe wetlands.

The smell of decomposed food and otherstenches were evident as residentsworked hard to remove the litter.

Resident Michael Silulami Sidukashares Magwayi’s sentiment, saying hebelieves this is the cause of sick childrenin the area.

He says clean-up campaigns need totake place more frequently.

“Thewetlands is a sensitive areawhichneeds to be protected. During winter thewater rises and it takes days for it to dis-appear. During that period, it poses ahealth risk to residents,” he says.

PEOPLE'S POST | FALSE BAYThursday, 5 December 20134 WORD ON THE STREET

Holiday funthis seasonIt’s the first day of the summer school holi-days! Most parents have to find a way toentertain their children and keep them

out of trouble. However, it becomes a chal-lenge to parentsworking throughout the fes-tive season. Some parents will be forced tosend their children away to relatives, whileit will be a good time for others to spend timewith their young ones after a year of hardwork.People’s Post polled readers on their plans

for their kids over the festive holiday.

PETER FORTUIN is a father of two and says hewill spend at least R2 000 on his children. “I beensaving; now it’s time to have fun. I’m planningto take them to the dam in Clanwilliam.”

JEROME PAULSE doesn’t have any children buthas plans for the youngsters in his area. “Myfriends and I are planning to have fun days forthe children every weekend. This will also keepthem off the streets.”

MXOLISI MAPASA says it’s his wife duty to takecare of the children. “My duty is to make surethere’s money to buy goods; my wife does therest, including spoiling the kids.”

DONIO TEIXERIA believes entertaining childrendoesn’t have to be expensive. “Spending qualitytime with them is always the best. You can havea family braai and give children time to enjoythemselves.”

SHARON VAN DER HORST says she will be working, but relatives will be visiting. “My family fromPort Elizabeth will visit with their children. Together we will figure out what to do for entertainment.”

NICOLE CLOETE says she has the whole festiveplanned. “I will take my children to Canal Walk,where they have fun games for the children. I willalso take them to the movies.’’

ZIKHONA MDINGANE says she only worries aboutChristmas Day and New Year. “Most days my kidswill be staying home with my mother. I will onlytake them out on Christmas and New Year.”

MUIZENBERG CPF: ANNUAL MEETING ADJOURNED

Chaos at community meetingMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The Muizenberg Community Police Fo-rum (CPF) was forced to adjourn theirannual meeting as the quorum was not

met.The meeting, held at the civic centre on

Tuesday 3 December, was attended by mem-bers of community organisations, ratepay-ers’ associations, Muizenberg police andneighbourhood watches.The meeting erupted in confusion when

Shariefa Dawood, an official from the De-partment of Community Safety, commencedformal proceedings.

Dawood explained a checklist need to becompleted before the meeting could get un-derway.One of the items on the checklist required

aquorumof just over 50%ofmember organi-sations to be present. Looking at a list of 20organisations, Dawood said that accordingto the department’s regulations, neighbour-hood watches only counted as one memberand could not be counted individually.“We only have eight member organisa-

tions present and so we cannot continuewith the meeting,” she said.After being informedby theCPFexecutive

committee, a new count had to be conductedas there were now eight member organisa-

tions as opposed to 20, Dawood conceded torecount.While the group recounted, murmurs

could be heard by those present.After the recount, Dawood said the meet-

ing would proceed as five out of the eightmember organisations were present.The organisations were divided into vari-

ous categories including neighbourhoodwatches, faith-based organisations and rate-payers’ associations among others.Discontent brewed when the meeting was

finally adjourned when the executive com-mittee realised they only had four out ofeight member organisations.Thosepresent questionedhowmanyof the

organisations on the CPF’s list had re-regis-tered with the organisation.In response, CPF chairperson Gerry Gor-

don said all the organisationshad respondedto say they would be attending.“So nobody can be blamed for organisa-

tions not showing up; they were contactedand they responded favourably,” she said.Truida Prekkel from Safer Together re-

quested themeeting be adjourned and a newdate be set. She raised concerns about theplanning for the meeting.“Can I ask that the next meeting start

promptly, not half anhour late. The registra-tion also needs to be done properly,” Prekkelsaid.

PEOPLE'S POST | FALSE BAYThursday, 5 December 20138 LEADER

WRITE TO US |email | fax | post

TheCity of CapeTown spent R1.5million on lights to pret-ty up the city.That is where a portion of your rates are going.Firstly, that is money better spent elsewhere.Secondly, and somewould saymore importantly, is the

energy consumption attached to the nightly switching onof the lights. Upon cursory inspection it does come acrossas wasteful. The festive lights adorning Adderley Streetgoes back decades. True, it’s a lovely tradition we as acity can celebrate.However, in this day and age, when energy is a finite

resource and so many people in the shacklands wait forelectricity, this entrenched tradition hardlymakes sense.Do you have any grounds for outragewhenEskom’s an-

noying reminder flashes across your TV screen?Pool pump? Off. Geyser? Off.Christmas lights festooning Adderley Street? Not on

your life.Yes, all this frippery is amusing but can we afford it?Along with other nauseating indulgences we worship

and adore during the festive season, this is one of them.Such extravagance comes with marketing speak, such

as “shining a light for all to enjoy” and “spreading thefestive cheer”.Want to spread the cheer?Why not do somethingmean-

ingful for another who has nothing. Switching on thelights is hardly going to banish the holiday blues.The R1.5m could very well have been streamed to more

safety and security during the holidays.Surely R1.5m could employ a few extra rent-a-cops in

gang-ravaged areas?Surely R1.5m could be streamed to improving safety

along False Bay beaches?Surely R1.5m could be used to beef up traffic services

during a season renowned for rage-inducing traffic snarlsand road carnage?That wish list is endless.Sadly, that is all it shall be if

we don’t assert logic and reason and leave all these waste-ful notions behind.

‘Don’t discard what we have’I have a degree of sympathy with GavinDurr’s views as expressed in “Scenic op-tions” (People’s Post, 28 November).However, he has really not thought his

tram scheme through thoroughly.To move the number of people currently

using the train service, particularly duringthe two rush-hour periods each day, youwould need some big trams – about as bigas current Metrorail trains!A change in the mode of transport at Mui-

zenberg would necessitate an interchangefacility and the need for passengers to swapfrom tram to train which, I believe, wouldcause unwanted delays and complications tothose who are the main users of mass trans-port, the daily commuters.Since onewouldneed trams to run on rails

of the same or similar gauge to those alreadyin use by Metrorail, the space requiredwould be pretty much the same as currentlyused. So unless one reduced the double linefrom Fish Hoek to Muizenberg to a singleline, notmuch extra space would be created.Singling would, however, much reduce

service intervals, again particularly a rush-hour problem.

Perhaps the biggest flaws are the two-foldquestions of who pays for all this.How would you handle the disruptions to

commuter transport while construction andimplementation takes place?(There would be) dozens of buses, particu-

larly during rush-hour, (and) hundreds ofbuses aweek adding to congestion andpollu-tion.Even weighed against Metrorail’s poor

service that doesn’t sound like a good ideato me.That Metrorail “service” is a joke and

many of the trains are a disgrace is not tobe disputed, but the answers to that situa-tion have to be not with trying to re-inventthe wheel – almost literally in this case – butin getting what is already in place workingas it should.As for the tourist aspect, we now have a

very smart new four-carriage Metrorail“tourist” set that works to Simon’s Townregularly and we also have Atlantic Rail,with their roughly every second Sundaysteam-hauled heritage tourist train.M. A. ROBINSON,Fish Hoek

‘City must deliver’I’d like to add my support to the views ofMary Turok and Craig Lucke (Letters, Peo-ple’s Post, 28 November).The City of Cape Town’s responses to pro-

posed relocation sites all appear to be basedupon why we can’t do anything, rather thanhow we can (do something).I also cannot accept that this “will take

time” – it’s now two decades – and patentlythe patience of youth is running out. And sois mine.We should not allow the already privi-

leged to prevent progress to ensuring all ourpopulation is housed with dignity. If our na-tion was attacked from outside we wouldfind the money to fight a war – tanks, weap-ons, ammunition, manpower, everythingconsidered necessary would be funded.This is a daily war for the quoted 3 500

Masiphumelele wetland people.They and others regularly lose the little

they have through floods and fire. Many ofthem are also the domestic workers, garden-ers and employees of families in the valley.We should regard housing as our internal

war and afford it the priority it deserves.Both our premier and mayor have earned a“can do” reputation. It’s time for the City todeliver upon housing. Don’t tell us whatwon’t work; tell us what will work, and howsoon you can deliver.SYLVIA HAMMOND

Onus on owners to control their dogsIn response to “Headline puts dogs in a badlight” (People’s Post, 28 November).Well done to People’s Post for writing the

article “Woman injured in dog attack”.I think it’s brilliant, but I still believe not

enough is done because the majority of peo-ple with dogs are inconsiderate, rude, arro-gant, law-breaking citizens, and may thinkwhatever they say, goes. I applaud you forthis type of reporting in our local newspa-per. I do feel sorry for the lady and I stronglybelieve themanshouldbe fined, andhis dogsshould be impounded because he can’t lookafter them. If people can’t look after dogs intheir own homes or when they are walkingtheir dogs, they should not be allowed tohave dogs or any animals for that matter.I support the implementation of a law lim-

iting owners to having more than two dogson a property – even that’s too much forsome people. To Taryn Blyth, whether youare a dog owner or a dog controller, I sayshame on you for not seeing the truth.

Most dog owners don’t see the truth, theydon’t see that they are breaking the law.They are a law unto themselves.And we, as one family are sick, and tired

of this. So, well done People’s Post. Therewas absolutely no reason for you to apolo-gise. More of this “bad lawless behaviour”should be reported on in the newspaper, asI don’t believe the laws on dog control arebeing enforced correctly. Only when thislaw is enforced will we see a difference.ESTELLE,Fish HoekTaryn Blyth responds: Estelle’s responseto the article is a case in point. It indicatesthe extreme emotional and irrational feel-ings triggered in certain individuals by suchsensationalistic and inaccurate headlines.This was clearly an opportunity for some-one with a personal issue to rant against thegeneral dog owning population without bas-ing her generalisations on any facts. Lettersedited – News Ed.

‘Some land viable’I don’t believe for a moment that all 147haof that vast tract of council land in Noord-hoek is “unsuitable” (“Move to dump sitehalted”, People’s Post, 21 November).It’s obvious the DA doesn’t want to upset

the wealthier voters there. A few hectaresmust be constructable, it’s “free” and there’sno traffic problem there – sounds perfect tome. But they’re fine to sniff around my arealooking at small pockets of non-viable, pri-vate, expensive land on an extremely over-crowded Kommetjie Road.Why are all the valley’s woes dumped in

the Sunnydale and Capri area?It’s time the other side of the valley played

their part. Enough is enough.JEFF,Email

Any information on Brig Flora captain?In the annals of Simon’s Town the confisca-tion of the slave ship Brig Flora by the Brit-ish Navy is well documented, but the nameof the captain of theBrig Flora is not sowellknown.What was his name andwhere, andhow, did he die?He was Daniel José Billio and he died of

a heart attack at sea off the Brazilian coast

while in command of a Brazilian naval ves-sel. Just before his death he had been nomi-nated for appointment to the post of Brazil-ian Consul at the Cape.Does anyone know any more about this

. If the developers are eyeing ClovellyStation let them have it, but give us backKalk Bay pool area!

. Having lived in this area for decades,before Masiphumelele was thought of, Iseem to recall it was intended to house 5000people. Multiply that by 10 and the resultsof over-population are obvious. Stoning pri-vate vehicles and relief aid trucks is totallyunacceptable. Innocent lives are at risk, butlegal residents are expected to come to therescue year after year. JD, Kommetjie

. Stop destroying the wetlands. If there’sno more land, don’t move here. Mike

. Parts of the 148ha are perfectly suitablefor low-cost housing. The DA just does notwant to upset richer residents of Noord-hoek, but they are happy to acquire smallunviable land in Sunnydale. Craig

. Masi has grown, and not in the best ofways. Take a drive down the industrial siteand see how farMasi has grown. Surely thepowers that be should check how many(people) live there. Shack life should cometo an end. This beautiful country is slowlybecoming a dump. Look at Fish Hoek MainRoad: theminute you build a taxi rank, youhave third world mentality, dirt and noise.I pity the residents who live near Masi.How much more of our land must be givento squatters? M. Geldenhuys

. If there are no serviced and availableplots in the area, how can people expect tomove into a protected wetland without con-sequence? I want a house on the beach, butif I can’t afford it or if there isn’t one forsale, I can’t just erect one on any land Ichoose!

Trio musical treat at KirstenboschThe trio of MatthewMole, Tailor and Na-khane Touré will wow audiences at theKirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert onSunday 8 December.His debut albumThe HomeWe Built en-

tered the top of the iTunes chart on its re-lease,makingMole the country’s first art-ist to achieve this.He played every instrument besides the

strings, including ukulele, banjo, organ,piano, guitars, drums and umpteen per-cussive instruments.Mole says: “Every song is about real ex-

periences I’ve had, but also the way I’vereacted to them because of the way I wasraised.”Pinning Tailor down to a single style is

impossible. Musically, the singer flitsfrommodern folk to blues-rock, pure pop

and spooky soul. His songs can be richand cinematic or simple and sparse.Nakhane Touré is a restless soul on a

mission to make sense of the world withhis songs.With his high, haunting vocals, you’ll

hear an artist not afraid to expose him-self. And in the vast range of styles thatcome naturally to Touré, you’ll find ayoung man who makes music because itis the best way he knows to express hisemotions. Nakhane Touré says: “I’m ablack man from South Africa performingalternative music, but what does thatmatter? In 2013, what does race or geogra-phy even mean when it comes to art?”Tickets costR90.Gates openat 16:00 and

the concert is from 17:30. For more infor-mation phone (021) 556 8200.

Chess champ SethRiley strategically moves to the topLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A Mitchell’s Plain chess prodigy has set hissights on becoming the world’s best player af-ter winning the African Youth Chess Champi-onships.Rocklands resident Seth-Riley Adams beat

players from more than 20 African countriesto take home thewinner’s trophy and earn thetitle of candidate master.He says the victory is his greatest achieve-

ment yet.“It feels great to have a title. I have always

wanted to achieve this,” he says.“I want to become a super grandmaster and

the chessworld championoneday. I knowthatI have to work hard, set goals for myself andtake it one step at a time.”Seth-Rileyqualified for theAfricanChampi-

onships by finishing first at the SA JuniorChampionships which allowed him to play inthe SA Junior Closed Championships, wherehe finished third to book his spot at the conti-nental event.The African Championships took place in

PortElizabeth inOctober andSeth-Riley strat-egised hisway through nine rounds towin theunder-10 open category – open to both boysand girls.

Seth-Riley was taught chess by his father,Basil, at the age of five and started competingwhen he was eight-years-old.He believes natural talent has aided him,

but says his achievements would not havebeen possible without dedication and passion.“Sometimes I don’t practice, but when I do

its about one to two hours a day,” he says.“Sometimes I play with my dad, but some-

times I have to practice on my own. I play onthe computer, searching for games, or gothrough certain openings, tactics or the endgame. It depends on what I want to do.”The 10-year-old has amassed a collection of

nine trophies and at least 22 medals in thepassed two years to become the top-rated play-er in his age group in the country.He added two trophies to that collection at

the provincial Department of Cultural Affairsand Sports awards last month, finishing as afinalist in the school sportsman and juniorsportsman of the year categories.Seth-Riley achieved all of this while also

working hard at his academics and beinghome schooled, and finding time to fit in hispassion for computers and the internet.His mother Yvonne says she is proud her

son’s hard work has paid off and has call onthe community for support.“We need sponsors for him. We still need

about R6 000 for accommodation and trans-port for the National Junior Championshipsin Durban this month,” she says.“Residents of Mitchell’s Plain should espe-

cially consider sponsoring him, because hecomes from this community and he is alreadywell known. He proves that any child fromMitchell’s Plain can make it. We are proudthat someone from Mitchell’s Plain has al-ready come so far.”The SA Junior Chess Championships take

place from Saturday 14 to Saturday 21 Decem-ber.Adams can be contacted on 082 632 9538.

Rice wins windy Surfer’s ChallengeGale forcewinds forcedorganisers to changethe venue for the seventh race in the CapeTown Summer Surfski Series on Sunday.The New Balance Surfer Challenge was

moved from Kommetjie Beach to Miller’sPoint and only A, B and C Grade paddlers,as well as those who had previously takenpart in the Fenn Cape Point Challenge, wereallowed to compete for safety reasons.Paddling legend Dawid Mocke said: “We

had extreme downwind conditions for to-day’s race. Essentially this is the pinnacleof skill when it comes to open ocean paddle

racing. Surfskis are designed to catch andride these big wind driven swells so todaywas a perfect surfski race.”Only 71 highly skilled paddlers participat-

ed in the race due to safety limitations. Theyhad to be helped after getting into trouble inthe rough conditions. Current world cham-pion Sean Rice took first place for his thirdwin in the series, while Tom Schilperoortwas second and the formidable duo of Dawid

Mocke and Lewis Pugh in a double surfskigrabbed third. “I’m really happy with to-day’s win,” Rice said. “I’ve been workinghard onmy downwind paddling, so I’m real-ly stoked to start seeing some results. It’s anice confidence booster going into theWorldCup later this month.”In the women’s race, series leader Nikki

Mocke took first place again, with Kim vanGysen in second andBiancaBeavitt in third.

“Today’s race was definitely an adrena-line rush,” Nikki said.“It will be talked about for years to come.

It was a memorable race – that’s for sure.”Junior world champion Kenny Ricemain-

tained his series stronghold in the junior di-vision, winning this category again.The eighth and last race in the Cape Town

Surfski Series will take place on Sunday.The Butlers Pizza Peter Creese LighthouseRace will take place at Fish Hoek Beach. Toparticipate or for more information visitwww.capetownsurfski.com.

Ikeys unimpressive at Varsity SevensLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

UCT sevens rugby coachChristiaan Esterhuizen be-lieves the Varsity Sevens

tournament will lead to improvedperformances in the 15-mangame.Esterhuizen’s side slumped to a

seventh place finish in the secondannual Sevens tournament inCamps Bay on Sunday.However, he feels participating

will help develop more skilfulIkey Tigers.“Sevens (rugby) develops play-

ers’ awareness of space and it hasmassive benefits in the fifteen-man game,” he says.“It’s not only backline players

who improve; I had a lot of for-wards in my team. It developstheir play with ball-in-hand, be-cause they have the confidence toattack the right spaces.”The Ikey Tigers picked up just

15 points in the round-robin stageafter threewins and six losses, be-fore losing to North West Univer-sity (NWU) in the plate semi-fi-nals and beating Nelson MandelaMetropolitan University in theseventh/eighth place play-offs.Esterhuizen believes there is a

need to improve theway theyhan-dle the crucialmoments in games.“The difference between finish-

ing seventh and finishing firstcomes down to one or two mo-

ments in the tournament,” hesays.“If we won a couple more

matches, we would have been incontention for the cup semi-fi-nals. We came close, but we justcouldn’t finish off those matches.It’s a very strong tournament –compared to last year, the stand-ard was very high. All the univer-sities got their acts together andput strong teams forward.”The UCT Varsity Cup under-21

coach says his side also concededtoo many tries.“Our defence let us down, espe-

cially in the last few minutes ofthe games,” he says.“We would be leading and then

concede to lose the game. Butoverall, we just didn’t make thebest our moments and win thematches we should have won.”Maties retained their title after

beating the University of the FreeState 22-17 in the final.UWC finished fourth after los-

ing 20-10 toNWUin the plate final.The Varsity Cup will kick off in

February next year with UCThostingMaties in their first gameon Monday 3 February.
