XENOPHOBIA OR JEALOUSY? ASSAILANTS IN CUSTODY
Malawians survive attack DELIAH BRINKHUIS
A group of eight Malawian men are being kept in a place of safety after they were attacked in their Lwandle home last Sunday. The assault is believed to be of a xenophobic nature and comes after incidents of xenophobic violence in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng claiming the lives of seven people, including three South Africans. These violent attacks are believed to have been spurred on by comments by Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini, ap-
parently referring to foreigners as “lice” and saying they should leave South Africa. The local attack happened in Asanda Village after a group of men forced their way into the Nqolwana Street home. According to police spokesperson Sergeant Mthokozisi Gama, the attackers broke down a door and used sticks to attack eight Malawian men while they were sleeping. The Malawians outran their attackers and sought refuge at the Lwandle Police Station. Two of the men (23 and 30 years old)
sustained serious head injuries and have been admitted to Helderberg Hospital. All eight men have since been accommodated in a place of safety. Major General Johan Brandt, head of the Khayelitsha cluster police, says eight men were arrested soon afterwards with the help of the community and the police’s crime intelligence. The South African men allegedly said foreigners were not welcome in South Africa and that they did not want them in Lwandle. The men will appear in the Strand Magistrate’s Court on 30 April on
charges of assault. They will remain in custody until then. Brandt says the attack on the Malawians was an isolated incident and that no other attacks on foreigners have been reported since. He says the Malawians rented the house from a family member of one of the attackers and that the motive may have been jealousy. At a public meeting on Sunday, Brandt praised the police for their swift response and urged residents to refrain from xenophobic attacks. Siyabonga Macaula, the Lwandle CPF chairperson, says attacks on for-
eign nationals are condemned. “We want the community to know we are all brothers and sisters. We do not want segregation and want foreigners to stay in South Africa,” he said. Macaula says a march against xenophobia is being planned. Lead SA hosted a silent vigil at Constitutional Hill in Johannesburg on Tuesday against xenophobic violence in South Africa. Mcebisi Skwatsha, Deputy Minister for Rural Development and Land Reform planned a visit to Lwandle last night (Wednesday).

Vrou steel duur handsak by padstal DALEEN FOUCHÉ ’n Gordonsbaai-inwoner is haar duur ontwerpershandsak kwyt nadat ’n vermeende dief haar handsak by ’n bekende padstal in Grabouw gegryp het.
A shop in Strand is the latest victim of an armed robbery. Mariners Shop in George Street, Strand, was robbed by four armed men on Sunday 19 April. According to Constable Mbulelo Mafuna, spokesperson for the Strand police, the men entered the shop and threatened staff and customers with guns and took them to the back of the shop. The suspects stole cigarettes, an undisclosed amount of cash and the cellphones of the staff and customers. “It is not known if they left the scene on foot or in a vehicle,” says Mafuna. No shots were fired during the robbery. Mafuna says a docket of armed robbery was opened, but no arrests have been made. Anyone with information that can assist the investigation must contact Lieutenant Colonel Plaatjies on 082 469 3359. A reward may be offered to the person who gives information, if the information leads to the successful conviction of the suspects.
Jeanette Vorster vertel sy het Saterdag die gewilde Peregrine-padstal net buite Grabouw besoek toe ’n vrou haar handsak gryp. Sy het buite op die stoep gesit en wag vir haar wegneemkoffie, toe ’n Tazz die parkeerterrein binne ry. Die motor het eers ’n paar sirkels gery voordat dit tot stilstand gekom het. Drie vroue het uitgeklim terwyl die man agter die stuur die kar laat luier het. Vorster sê die vroue het geloop en klets toe een agter haar kom staan het. Dié vrou het toe haar hand liggies om die handvatsels geplaas en die handsak vinnig gegryp. Die drie vroue is inderhaas weer terug na die motor, wat toe in die rigting van Botrivier weggery het. Vorster sê sy het redelik baie kontant in
Jeanette Vorster met haar ontwerpershand sak wat onlangs gesteel is. haar handsak gehad, ’n fout wat sy nie maklik sal herhaal nie. Maar vir haar is die grootste verlies haar Fluva-handsak wat sy in Flo-
rence, Italië gekoop het. Sy sê sy het destyds lank gespaar om die handsak te kan bekostig. Dit het ’n waarde van byna R4 000. Sy beskryf die handsak as ’n unieke item wat nie in SuidAfrika bekombaar is nie. “Dit is van ’n baie dik leer gemaak en is lemmetjiegroen.” Vorster sê sy was geensins roekeloos met haar handsak nie en wil graag ander waarsku om altyd op die uitkyk te wees vir vermeende diewe. “Ek was baie versigtig en het my handsak styf langs my vasgehou toe dit gebeur het.” Justin Burls, eienaar van Peregrine, sê dit is ’n baie ongelukkige voorval. “Ons doen alles in ons vermoë om die padstal so veilig as moontlik te hou.” Hy sê die padstal het altesame 26 kringtelevisiekameras en ’n sekerheidswag. Burls bevestig soortgelyke insidente het al ’n keer of wat voorheen gebeur, maar beaam dat in die 18 jaar se bestaan van die padstal, dit “baie selde” gebeur. Die Grabouw-polisie het die insident bevestig. Nog geen inhegtenisnemings is gemaak nie.

Kapers slaan toe op pa en sy twee kinders DELIAH BRINKHUIS Vier gewapende mans het op hul toegesak en sy dogter se 14de verjaardag in ’n nagmerrie laat ontaard. Dit is hoe ’n kapingstoneel van ’n Strandse gesin Sondag in Macassar afgespeel het. Volgens die 34-jarige pa van twee, wat verkies om anoniem te bly, het hy omstreeks 20:30 sy vrou voor die Q-woonstelle in Macassar afgelaai waar sy ’n pakkie sou optel. “Ek het voor ’n winkel aan die oorkant van die woonstelblok geparkeer toe ’n silwerkleurige Mercedes Benz C-klas in my rigting gery kom,” vertel hy. Volgens die man het die kar verby hom en sy kinders gery waar hulle in sy Volkswagen Caravelle gesit het, en aan die oorkant van die pad voor die woonstelle stilgehou. Onmiddellik het vier mans uit die voertuig geklim en in sy rigting geloop. “Hulle het al geselsend en laggend aangeloop gekom,” onthou hy. Die mans het verby sy voertuig geloop, maar net toe hul verby die bestuurderskant is, het hulle skielik omgedraai. “Ek het my venster opgedraai,” sê hy. Die volgende oomblik het hy in die loop van ’n vuurwapen vasgekyk. “Geskok het ek gelag en gedink dit is ’n grap,” sê hy. Hy het egter gou besef dit is nie ’n speletjie nie toe die man die vuurwapen al swaaiend in sy hand hou en sê, “Ayikho toy”. “Maak oop, maak oop! Het die mans gesê en my uitgepluk,” vertel hy. Al vier mans het op hom toegesak en hom deursoek. Hy is agter in die kombi geboender waar twee mans by hom, sy dogter en
sewejarige seun ingeklim het. Die ander twee mans het voor in die kombi geklim. “Ek het gepleit dat hulle die kinders moet laat gaan, maar is beveel om stil te bly,” vertel hy. Die mans het uit die dorp met Macassar-weg langs, in die rigting van Khayelitsha gery. “My dogter het begin huil toe die man langs my sê dat hy my gaan dood skiet. Ek het haar probeer paai, maar is geklap en met die gun teen die kop geslaan,” onthou hy. “Na etlike minute, wat soos ure gevoel het, het ons gestop en is ons beveel om uit te klim,” sê hy. Die kombi het langs die pad voor ’n beboste gebied stilgehou en die gesin is aangesê om die bosse in te loop. “Toe ons sowat 100 m geloop het, het ons die kombi hoor ry. Ons het tussen die duine uitgekom en in die rigting van Macassar gehardloop.” Net voor die Kramatbrug het ’n polisievoertuig gery. “Ek het in die middel van die pad gaan staan, dit gestop en vertel wat gebeur het.” Minute later het ’n polisiemotor by hulle aangesluit wat die gesin na veiligheid geneem het terwyl die polisievangwa die vermeende kapers agterna gesit het. Volgens polisiewoordvoerder sers. Chrisy Lewaks is niemand nog in hegtenis geneem ná die mans in die rooi Volkswagen Caravelle gevlug het nie. ’n Kaping-saak word ondersoek. Volgens Lewaks hou die voorval dalk verbandmet’nbesigheidsroofby’ngroothandelaarswinkel in die omgewing van die Q-woonstelle verlede Vrydag omstreeks 20:00. Vier netjies-geklede mans het die eienaar met vuurwapens aangehou en kontant, sigarette en selfoonlugtyd ter waarde van R50 000 gebuit.

VAN BREDA-SAAK
This picture of the fire at Vergelegen Wine Estate was taken on Tuesday morning after a prescribed burn from the previous day flared up again as a result of too strong wind in the area.
Bylmoordenaar gou aangekeer DANIE KEET
’n Inhegtenisneming in die Van Bredamoorde kan binne die volgende twee weke verwag word. Volgens ’n ingeligte bron na aan die ondersoek is daar glo reeds genoeg forensiese getuienis deur die ondersoekspan wat die Van Breda-moorde ondersoek, ingesamel om ’n verdagte in hegtenis te neem en voor die hof te daag. Martin (54) en Teresa (55) van Breda en hul oudste seun, Rudi (22), is ide nag van 26/27 Januarie vanjaar wreed met ’n byl op die De Zalze-gholflandgoed buite Stellenbosch vermoor. Hul dogter, Marli (19), het die aanval oorleef met kopwonde en ’n snywond aan die keel. Sy kan glo niks van die voorval onthou nie. Sy was lank in die hospitaal en in ’n rehabilitasiesentrum voordat sy verlede week ontslaan is en nou by familievriende bly. Henri (19), die ander seun, het ligte beserings in die voorval opgedoen. Meer as 130 bewysstukke is glo reeds deur die span ingesamel – skynbaar heelwat meer as wat gewoonlik nodig is om ’n aanklag na die hof te neem. Volgens die bron is ’n ooggetuieverslag nie opsigself noodsaaklik om ’n skuldigbevinding te verkry nie. Volgens die bron is al die bewysstukke nou deeglik geliasseer en georden – ’n proses wat opsigself byna drie weke geduur het. “Forensiese bewyse en verslae is na verskillende laboratoriums in die land gestuur. Met die huidige agterstand met forensiese verslae het dit nog langer geduur om dié be-
wyse te kry. Die Van Breda-ondersoek is egter geprioritiseer – in sommige gevalle kan ondersoekbeamptes tot vyf jaar wag om verslae te ontvang.” Henri het die oggend van die moorde self die nooddienste van die aanval op sy gesin in kennis gestel en bly sedertdien ook by familie. Die forensiese ondersoek het onder meer gefokus op die selfoon waarmee hy die nooddienste geskakel het en artikel 205-ondersoeke op al die nommers op die foon is afgehandel. Henri moes ook reeds sy paspoort by die polisie indien en sy bewegings word skynbaar deur die ondersoekspan gemonitor. “Omstandigheidsgetuienis, soos dit wat uit hierdie forensiese ondersoeke bekom is, kan genoeg wees om ’n skuldigbevinding in ’n hof te bewerkstellig. In sulke gevalle is dit nie noodsaaklik dat daar ooggetuieverslae of verklarings van oorlewendes hoef te wees nie,” het die bron gesê. Volgens Louise Buikman SC, wat as Marli se kurator aangestel is, is Marli se grootste uitdaging nou om die trauma waardeur sy is, te verwerk. “Die terapie wat sy tans kry, sluit fisio-, spraak en arbeidsterapie sowel as sielkundige ondersteuning in, en sy geniet besoeke van haar skoolmaats. “Ek is haar wettige kurator, of curator ad litem en sal aan die hooggeregshof verslag doen oor haar vordering en aanbevelings maak oor haar toekoms, soos waar sy moet woon en wie vir haar alledaagse versorging verantwoordelik moet wees,” het Buikman aan Distrikspos se susterskoerant, Eikestadnuus, gesê.
Controlled fire flares up, but contained TAMSYN JANTJIES A controlled fire scheduled at Vergelegen Wine Estate for Monday 20 April, flared up again after it was believed to be extinguished. The fire flared up on Monday night and in the early hours of Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon, a large smoke cloud hovered over the Helderberg Basin and residents questioned the size of the fire. City of Cape Town Fire and Rescue Services spokesperson Theo Layne said they were
called out to assist at the Vergelegen Wine Estate on Tuesday morning. “Five fire engines, four water tankers and about 50 seasonal fire fighters were dispatched,” he explained. Three helicopters were also dispatched to the scene, as fire engines found it difficult to manoeuvre the terrain. The fire was eventually contained by 18:00 on Tuesday, but crews remained on the scene to monitor the situation. There has been no major flare ups, but firefighters are dealing with various hotspots.
Two die in R44 accident at the weekend An accident on the R44 claimed the lives of two men and left two people injured on Saturday 18 April. The car, a red Uno, was travelling on the R44 from Stellenbosch to Somerset West when the driver allegedly lost control of the car. According to Colonel Mary Anne Williams, station commander of the Somerset West police station, the car overturned.
The driver and one passenger died and two passengers were taken to Tygerberg Hospital and Helderberg Hospital. The patient transported to Tygerberg Hospital sustained serious injuries and is in the hospital’s intensive care unit. No other cars were involved in the accident. A case of culpable homicide is being investigated by the Somerset West police.

LWANDLE: TWO SPEED BUMPS PROPOSED
Demands fall on deaf ears DALEEN FOUCHÉ The addition of two speed bumps in Lwandle is the only concrete response from the City of Cape Town following a service delivery protest by residents in February. About 200 Lwandle residents took to the streets on Wednesday 25 February to voice their concerns about service delivery in especially the informal areas of the township. A memorandum of demands was handed over to the City of Cape Town. Demands included better refuse removal for the informal settlements, more toilets and water points and serviced plots for the remaining people living in the Nomzamo Community Hall. In its response to the memorandum, the City stipulates that residents must return to the road reserve belonging to the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral), where Lwandle residents were evicted from almost a year ago. The City states that it has installed toilets and water on the periphery of the land, but needs Sanral’s permission to install these services on the land. To date, Sanral has not responded to the City’s request. In terms of electricity provision for informal settlements on state owned land, the City states this is the responsibility of the Housing Development Agency. Two demands were made by Lwandle residents regarding traffic calming measures in the township in Onverwacht Road and in Simon Street, Nomzamo. After procedural assessments of these streets, the City concluded that no traffic calming measures can be implemented in On-
Lwandle residents took to the streets in February to demand better services for informal set tlements. However, the City has only responded to one of the demands; speed bumps has been proposed for Simon Street.

Residents of Strand are invited to an anti-crime march on Monday 27 April. The march will start at 10:00 from Strand Secondary School and will finish at the Casablanca Sports Grounds. Strand police spokesperson Constable Mbulelo Mafuna says the aim of the march is to highlight the need to tackle gangsterism and close down drug houses and illegal shebeens in the Strand policing precinct. “Drug users resort to stealing, housebreakings and commit violent crimes to support their need for drugs. Unlicensed taverns or shebeens and drug houses need to be closed down,” says Mafuna. The community is invited to bring posters or banners along to the march. A prize will be given to the person with the best poster.

‘Toll roads will destroy agriculture’
Die foto van dooie visse in die Lourensrivier is deur DistriksPosleser, Francois du Preez, ge neem.
Oorsaak van dooie visse geïdentifiseer ’n Rioolstorting is volgens die Stad Kaapstad die oorsaak van die talle dooie visse wat verlede week in die Lourensrivier ontdek is. DistriksPos het verlede week berig dat ’n leser foto’s ingestuur het van dooie visse wat naby die mond van die Lourensrivier dryf (“Min water laat visse na hul asem snak”, 16 April). Siyabulela Mamkeli, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gesondheid, sê die voorval is deur die Stad Kaapstad ondersoek. Hy sê dit wil voorkom asof die probleem veroorsaak is deur die Lourensrivier-pompstasie wat op 11 April oorgeloop het. Die departement water en sanitasie het na die storting die pompstasie herstel en die rivier met biologiese ensieme behandel om die
riool af te breek. Mamkeli sê dat daar tans baie min water in die rivier vloei, wat beteken dit neem langer om die vuil water uit die stelsel te spoel. Mamkeli verduidelik dat pompstasies maklik tydens beurtkrag oorloop. Daarom is die Stad Kaapstad besig om die moontlikheid van kragopwekkers as deel van die opgradering van dié pompstasies te ondersoek. ’n Plaaslike kragopwekker is by die Lourensrivier-pompstasie geïnstalleer om verdere stortings te voorkom. “Die kragopwekker het met die afgelope naweek se beurtkrag ingeskop en verdere stortings voorkom.” Die Stad se departement paaie en stormwater het die silt wat in die Lourensrivier opgedam het, verwyder sodat die rivier beter vloei, maar Mamkeli sê daar was nog nie genoeg reen om die riviermond oop te hou nie. “Ons sal die situasie dophou.”
The Winelands Tolling Project proposed by Sanral for the Western Cape will not only destroy jobs in the farming sector, but also increase costs for farmers, and impact on the movement of thousands of farmworkers. This is according to Beverley Schäfer, DA Western Cape spokesperson on Agriculture. Following the release of reports made secret by Sanral, Schäfer says she scrutinised the documents indicating that residents of the province will have to pay three times more than Gauteng residents to drive on the N1 and N2 in the Winelands. “My further investigation to the effect on the farming sector, key to rural Western Cape, reveals that the Winelands Toll Roads project will have a devastating effect on the adjacent farming sector,” she says. In line with the National Development Plan, the farming sector is crucial to the region’s job creation, says Schäfer. “It has potential to create more than 100 000 new jobs in the province. These jobs will go to the rural poor, who need it most.” According to Schäfer the toll roads will also result in a reduction of cash flow for the fruit growers in the Elgin and Hex River Valley, who already struggle financially. “Any further financial hardship experienced by these farmers in the fruit export industry, may result in future unemployment among farmworkers.” Schäfer adds that the toll roads will impact on the mobility of farmworkers, making it difficult for them to access essential services, to maintain social contact with their families and limiting movement of thousands of seasonal farmworkers.

8 DistrictMail Robber sentenced Nuwe tuiste vir Strand-eenheid vir ondersteuning van slagoffers 23 April, 2015
A 27-year-old Khayelitsha man will spend years behind bars after he was sentenced in Somerset West Magistrate’s Court last month. Gcobeni Memani was found guilty of a robbery that occurred in Derrick Drive, Somerset West on 8 June last year. Somerset West police spokesperson Sergeant Susan Jantjies says Memani approached the victim (27) and threatened her with a firearm. “Upon realising the firearm was a plastic gun, the complainant refused to hand over her handbag,” she says. “Memani became aggressive and took the handbag by force. An on-duty security guard responded to the complainant’s screams and arrested Memani, who was later handed over to the police.” On Thursday 19 March, Memani was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment, of which four years are suspended for five years, for robbery with a weapon other than a firearm. “He was also deemed unfit to possess a firearm,” says Jantjies. Somerset West police station commander Colonel Mary Ann Williams welcomed the sentencing and congratulated Detective Warrant Officer Deon Klaasen on his investigation in the case.
Father sought The Department of Social Development’s Somerset West office is looking for Velile Vuso in connection with his child. The child’s mother, Nomathemba Skolo, passed away on 27 September 2014. Vuso’s last known address is Ntanga Street, Nomzamo. Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of Vuso is urged to contact the social worker, Zoleka Beqezi, on 021 840 3500 during office hours.

TAMSYN JANTJIES Die Strand-polisiekantoor se ondersteuningseenheid vir slagoffers is op Saterdag 18 April heropen nadat die eenheid se gebou onlangs opgeknap is. Verskeie plaaslike belanghebbendes het die geleentheid, wat Saterdagoggend by die Strand-polisiekantoor gehou is, bygewoon. Die houtstruktuur waar die eenheid verskeie dienste lewer, is die afgelope paar maande volledig opgeknap. Die behoefte om die eenkamerstruktuur uit te brei en te restoureer, is deur vrywilligers en polisiebeamptes geïdentifiseer. Dienste word deur die ondersteuningseenheid gelewer aan slagoffers van geweld, vroue- en kindermishandeling en verkragting, sowel as minderjariges met gedrags- en dwelmverwante probleme en leerders wat deur skole verwys word. Die eenheid lewer ook dienste aan slagoffers van so ver as Grabouw en Eersterivier. Opgeleide beraders lewer vrywillig hul dienste. Voorheen moes vrywilligers beurte maak om berading aan misdaadslagoffers te gee. Met die opgradering van die struktuur, wat nou uit drie kamers bestaan, sal beraders en slagoffers meer privaatheid gedurende beradingsessies het. Beraders sal ook met meer as een slagoffer op ’n keer kan werk. Die Strand se Rotariërklub het grootliks bygedra tot die opknapping van die struktuur en ondersteuning is ook van die Claremont Rotariërklub ontvang. Die klub, wat al vir meer as 60 jaar gemeenskapsprojekte in die Helderberg ondersteun, verskaf ook versorgingspakkies aan die slagoffers. Die eenheid word deur adjudant-offisier Felicia Sylvester, die polisiebeampte in beheer van gemeenskapspolisiëring, bestuur. Vir enige navrae oor die ondersteuningseenheid vir slagoffers, skakel gerus vir ao. Felicia Sylvester by 082 522 1289.
Lede van die Strand Rotariërklub, gemeenskapspolisiëringforum (GPF) en polisie was almal teenwoordig by die heropening van die Strandpolisiekantoor se ondersteunings eenheid vir slagoffers.

NSRI Gordon’s Bay rescue vessel Jack Riley has been moved to temporary moorings at Harbour Island.
Sandbank forces NSRI to relocate rescue vessel The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) has moved its 14,5 m rescue boat, the Jack Riley, out of the Old Gordon’s Bay Harbour. DistrictMail previously reported that the vessel is not able to leave or enter the harbour during certain times, especially during the low tide following spring tide, as a result of a massive sandbank forming at the entrance of the harbour (“Dire straits for harbour”, 19 March). NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon says the Jack Riley will temporarily be moored in front of the new Krystal Beach Hotel at Harbour Island. “Silting has occurred at the mouth of the
Gordon’s Bay Old Harbour, to the extent that at times, we cannot launch this rescue vessel. The Jack Riley needs an extra length mooring to accommodate her size and, thanks to Harbour Island Properties, we have found that mooring,” he says. But this is only a temporary arrangement, Lambinon explains, until the Old Gordon’s Bay Harbour mouth is dredged. He assures the public that the NSRI Gordon’s Bay’s rapid response sea rescue craft will not be affected by the silting, and they will continue to launch from the sea rescue base at Gordon’s Bay Harbour. The Jack Riley was sponsored by, and named after, the late Jack and Irene Riley from Helderberg Village in Somerset West.

Mail Wees op jou hoede vir misdadigers Misdaad is al so deel van die alledaagse lewe in Suid-Afrika dat min misdaadstories nog die wenkbroue laat lig. Maar ’n voorval waarin twee kinders saam met hul pa deur gewapende mans gedreig en gekaap is, móét ons aandag trek en laat nadink oor ons gesinne se veiligheid. Die voorval het Sondag in Macassar afgespeel en genadig is die familie ongedeerd ná die voorval. Nog ’n plaaslike inwoner is onlangs onverwags deur misdadigers betrap. ’n Gordonsbaai-inwoner het oor die naweek by ’n gewilde padstal gestop vir koffie toe haar handsak gegryp is. Ons kan nie dié soort voorval wegwens nie, maar ons kan wel daadwerklike stappe doen om onsself en ons gesinne te beveilig. Die polisie waarsku altyd dat ons op ons hoede moet wees en weet wat om ons aangaan. Dit is moontlik die heel belangrikste raad en ook dié wat die meeste geïgnoreer word. Met die wêreld aan jou vingerpunte (in die vorm van ’n selfoon) is jou onmiddellike omstandighede dalk vervelig – maar ook moontlik gevaarlik. Skurke is altyd op die uitkyk vir maklike teikens. ’n Onoplettende persoon is van die maklikste teikens! Dink dus aan jou veiligheid en kyk mooi wat om jou aangaan.

‘Flasher’ makes a hasty retreat, sans towel It was with much interest and some amazement I read of the flasher on Strand Beach (“Flashers prowl Strand beachfront”, DistrictMail, 9 April). My friend and I thought we had missed out on an event which sounded highly amusing. We planned our day for the following Tuesday – power outage morning – with the intention of finding the man himself in all his grown glory. We armed ourselves with little else than a good old-fashioned mackintosh, under which were
decades of well wrinkled skin with the pits, the cellulite, the rolls and all that goes with very late middle age. We meant business! The mist lifted just in time; we would be able to find our quarry. The march up the beach proved disappointing as there were no unusual sights. The laboured stroll back along the sand was proving equally dull and our breathing was getting heavier. We were not used to walking for pleasure and probably the anticipation was too great. But suddenly, like Neptune, the man arose from the sea and ad-
vanced towards us. We did not flinch, we had a plan. He dropped his towel and we laughed. He looked concerned and covered his privates – should be publics. He let the towel fall again and we giggled with gusto. He looked at us curiously as we opened our macs. He did not have time to pick up his towel but, beating any Olympian record, he sprinted seawards. Has anyone found a naked man trying to leave the Strand Beach? If so, tell him we have his towel!

Police and Correctional Services vehicles noisy and reckless I wonder why it is necessary to have all the sirens blaring on the Department of Correctional Services truck as well as on the police support vehicles when prisoners are brought to the court in the morning and taken away in the afternoon. Every day they drive through the streets at high speed, virtually shoving other traffic off the street. Why? Are they late for
court? Are they in danger? Is there a crisis on hand? Is there an emergency? And all the time the prisoners inside the truck cage are shouting and swearing at the public on the pavement. Why can this truck not be totally enclosed?
DANIE PIENAAR
Provincial police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel André Traut responds: In response, kindly be
advised that the use of sirens when transporting flight risk prisoners to and from court is a standard operating procedure to ensure the safety of the public during these escort duties. The discretion to use emergency signals is not lightly taken and based on circumstances. A fully enclosed truck is unfortunately not an option as it is deemed unsuitable for the transportation of human beings.
How much more pleasant is it not to give than to receive? I’d like to respond to a recent article about “vagrants” and the impact their presence has on our community (“Lourens River vagrants situation is becoming a political hot potato”, DistrictMail, 9 April). Is it not an indictment of our society that we regard less fortunate people as a problem that needs to be dealt with and removed by some faceless government institution or body? Somerset West is one of the most affluent areas in the province and the homeless community tells us that the quality of the discarded food and items in the rubbish bins here are better and more useful,
which is one reason why they are attracted to this area. Their problems are many and complex, and cannot be solved easily. Unfortunately, there are few places of safety providing shelter and food which are accessible and affordable. Removing the sources of food is likely to induce rather than reduce crime, and it is highly unlikely that the homeless people will leave unless a viable alternative is offered. Is it not perhaps time to share our affluence with the less fortunate by giving a little of our time, money and food to uplift them and lessen their plight? How difficult is it to engage or
simply smile with a street person; give a tin of food, article of clothing or blanket; or come out from behind our high walls and get involved with one of the many organisations? You might just be surprised to discover homeless people’s quirky sense of humour, fortitude in the face of adversity and joy in receiving the most basic requirements. The homeless community has, on more than one occasion, cleaned the area around the Lourens River bridge, as well as the centre of town. How much more pleasant is it not to give than to receive?

Tot ons ontsteltenis kom ons by ’n graf wat bestrooi is met klere, gebreekte bottels, asook menslike ontlasting. Komnou mense, kanonsdarem respek betoon teenoor die dooies? Sekuriteit is verskuif na die onderste punt. Kan ons dalk aan alle kante sekuriteit hê asseblief? Romenia du Plooy ) With regard to the attacks on the N2: with respect JP Smith, there are too many meetings and not enough action. ) On page 2 of 9 April’s edition, there is an article titled “Pedestrian injured in peak hour traffic”. A case of reckless and negligent driving has been opened, but I don’t understand how the driver is at fault. According to my knowledge of traffic laws, it is illegal for a pedestrian to be on foot on a national road, such as the N2. You don’t mention anything about the driver being under the influence of alcohol, which would warrant the “reckless and negligent” driving case. In my opinion, the pedestrian should be fined and liable for damages to the vehicle.

Chantelle Beyers ) Ek’t vir dit gewag. Plaas hulle hul met beter en belangriker dinge besig hou as name. Die berge sal hul naam behou, al maak hul wat, en so ook die hospitaal.

heen HH Hospitaal en stel meer permanente personeel aan. Die gekontrakteerde verpleegsters gee nie juis hul volle samewerking nie. As gevolg daarvan, kry die hele lot ’n slegte naam. Opgradeer die sale en die ongevalle-afdeling, sodat die hospitaal kan terugkeer na die vroeë, goeie [toestand]. Daar is baie mense wat tog te bly sal wees en sal met trots in daardie rye sit en wag. Karin Swart ) Seriously? Don’t [they] know how to spend taxpayers’ money anymore? I noticed Hottentot Holland Hospital is now Helderberg Hospital.

This is the only country where so many people are living in shacks. Government should stop wasting taxpayers’ money and spend it on building proper houses, free education and providing employment. Yasmine Mauritz ) [The school’s name will probably become] Thabo Mbeki High School. Zaid Railoun ) Geen naamveranderinge moet toegelaat word nie. Kom mense, laat ons saam staan. William Moses ) Miskien moet ons ophou om hulle vet te voer en almal weier om belasting te betaal. Craig Gordon ) Die wêreld sal so ’n beter plek wees as die leiers op belangrike dinge fokus, soos werkloosheid, eerder as op sulke dinge. Ilse Vermeulen ) “Hottentot” was a derogatory name for the Khoi. This is now being used as a reason to change the name. I do not agree with the name change. I am not an ex-learner of the school but maybe all ex-learners of all races could sign a petition. The hospital was renamed a while ago. Kim Lindeboom ) Stop wasting money and focus on the people. Wilma Williams ) This is crazy. Why don’t they concentrate on the things that need attention? Iegtieshaam Rhoda ) Let wel, die berig sê hulle kan dit verander as hulle wil. Dit is darem nog nie verplig nie, maar ons wil seker nie te gou praat nie – veral
nie met die regering nie. Jay-Dean du Toit ) Ek hoop regtig nie dit gebeur nie. Renate Veldtman ) What about the mountain; will that name also change? This is silly. When all the names are changed and statues are locked away, people will still be hungry and deprived of excellent national leadership. But if it must change, how about naming it Sundale High? It’s sunny, we are sort of in a valley and it is a high school. It has no affiliation to any political state, creed or anything else. Susan Smith ) Na al die jare! Diane Abrahams ) Honestly, who even calls the school by its lengthy name. Even 30 years ago, when I was privileged to attend it, we called it HH. If the government wishes to do something useful for the school, then some funding would be in order. Liesl de Kock ) Are they going to rename the mountains too? Edelweiss Hankey ) All ex-learners, like myself, should sign a petition because this is nonsense. If they decide to change the name of the school, they should change the mountain’s name as well. All of this just because some people can’t find something better to focus their time on. Nicole Smit ) A waste of money. Christelle Gordon ) Nee, regtig mense. Konsentreer liewer op jul onderwysstelsel wat so in sy “chops” is, as naamsveranderinge. Dit gaan geen verbetering aan die stelsel maak nie. Lyk my ons sit met te veel mense aan die stuur wat nie weet wat om met hulself te maak nie en nou sit en krap hulle sulke dinge uit. Gerhard Theron ) Wat van Helderberg Hoërskool en Helderberge? Verander gaan hulle dit; die vraag is wanneer gaan hulle dit doen. Duimpie van Schalkwyk ) Waarom die name van skole en geboue verander? Dis ’n vermorsing van geld wat bestee kan word. Daar is skole wat meer onderwysers benodig. Isabel Booysen ) They can rename whatever they want to; whatever they want to call it, does not change our circumstances and conditions in this country.

Honderdjarige vier vol lewe TAMSYN JANTJIES Een van Serenitas-aftree-oord se inwoners het Maandag 20 April sy 100ste verjaardag gevier. Victor Schoch is op 20 April 1915 op die plaas 24 Riviere naby Porterville gebore – die 10de van elf kinders. Direk na matriek het hy by die Spesiale Diensbataljon (SSB) begin werk, waarna hy as bode by Yskor gaan werk het. Daarna is hy in die goedere-afdeling van die destydse Suid-Afrikaanse Spoorweë & Hawens aangestel. Toe die oorlog uitbreek, is Victor by verskeie kantore in die Wes-Kaap geplaas en het hy toe in Vishoek gewoon. In 1952 is hy na Johannesburg verplaas, waar hy gewerk het tot sy aftrede in 1975. Victor en sy vrou, Luise, het in die negentigerjare na die Serenitasaftree-oord getrek, waar hy tot op die ouderdom van 96 aan die Strand-rolbalklub behoort het. Victor en Luise het vier kinders, agt kleinkinders en nege agterkleinkinders.

Provincial government promotes healthy living Physical inactivity and unhealthy eating are considered major risk factors for a number of adverse health outcomes, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other cardio-vascular diseases. In the province, 17 to 25% of the burden of disease can be attributed to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). To combat these NCDs, the Western Cape Government introduced Western Cape on Wellness (WoW!). Provincial government and its partners
launched the WoW! Initiative at Gardens Commercial High School in Cape Town last month. The WoW! Programme uses team leaders to promote a range of physical activities and healthy eating to spread and sustain a culture of wellness. Over the next six months, teams from 13 provincial government departments, 10 communities and 10 schools will aim to change their lifestyle by increasing their levels of physical activity and eating healthier.
Eating fresh, unprocessed food and exercising regularly will eventually lead to a bet ter quality of life.
Practical eating for healthy living With Banting being the craze of the moment, it is rather difficult to find someone who either hasn’t heard about high fat, low carb eating or who doesn’t have a strong opinion on the subject. The author’s opinion on the subject is simple. Fads come and go, and although a practical approach is a great beginning for most, just like any diet, it’s not for everyone. The truth is always boring. At least from a marketing and money making perspective, that is. In our rush-rush modern existence, convenience and short-cuts are the order of the day. Unfortunately, our bodies pay a price because, whichever way you want to look at it, “when you put garbage in, you get garbage out”. One way or another, we will pay the price for good health or the lack thereof. The keys to healthy eating become far simpler when we consider the following points: ) Habit: As with any habit, it must be an integral part of your lifestyle. Diets are temporary and their effects are, at best, the same. ) Enjoyment: If you enjoy your food, odds are you’ll be likely to eat the same again. ) Variety and balance: Everything in moderation will help your body create and maintain a homeostatic balance that is conducive to healthy living. ) Effort: Buy a recipe book that fits in with your lifestyle approach and use it.
Prepare accordingly by buying the ingredients ahead in advance and allocating time to make your meals. ) Investment: Buying local, fresh and unprocessed foods are cheaper in the long run. The alternative is paying medical bills for the remainder of your life. Other factors are important too, such as the source, quality, quantity and preparation methods. There are a multitude of resources available on the web and in book stores. By investing small amounts of time and slowly improving your chef skills, you will enjoy your mealtimes more. With small, consistent changes amazing changes occur in a very short span of time. Try to buy local, seasonal and foods that are organic (read up on glyphosates for example, a trademark of conventional farming practices), unprocessed (food additives are unhealthy and even toxic) and fresh (preservatives are a high cause of allergies). As human beings, we need real, unadulterated foods that are grown in natural conditions and harvested and processed to a minimum. We require a balance of nutrients from these foods and for each of us it will be slightly different. By removing toxic, processed foods and by adding real, fresh produce and incorporating exercise and stress management, health, energy and longevity become the inevitable result.

Imibala active and growing From its modest coffee shop beginnings, Imibala Village, run by the Imibala Trust, has grown to an organisation which focuses on food, art and the community. The organisation has been providing children from Helderberg schools with school clothes and kit for more than 12 years. With the plague of social ills in the community, the village also offers children a place where they are welcome, happy and helped. The precinct comprises various components which generate funds to sustain the running costs of the trust. These components are the Imibala Restaurant, Imibala Gallery and Imibala Shopping. The restaurant is creating sound waves of happy foodies, delighted
friends meeting over amazing taste sensations and tempting deli offerings. The gallery showcases fine contemporary South African art, which delights visitors and stimulates young minds into believing their imaginations can be as productive and creative as the Children, who benefit from funds raised by the Imi displayed art.

23 Illusionist inspires and entertains Playhouse audience DistrictMail
Vermaak Entertainment
MARK STUART Is it possible to know the answer to a question before you know what the question is? Well, if you’re an illusionist like Bryan Miles, who entertained a packed Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West on Saturday 18 April with his show Bryan Miles: An evening of impossible psychology and illusion, the answer is yes. Let me explain! Two weeks ago Bryan delivered a sealed cardboard box to DistrictMail – only he knew the contents of the box.
23 April, 2015
I took possession of the box and took it with me to the Playhouse on Saturday night, as it was to be used in his spectacular final illusion on the night. Hisshow,whichincludedaudience participation, was thoroughly entertaining, thought-provoking and, at the same time, inspiring. At the end of the show I was called on stage with the box and its mysterious contents. Bryan then asked me to select a disc, from a Trivial Pursuit game, from a plastic bag with my back to him and his back to mine. I was told to place the disc into my pocket.
POPULAR DUO BACK IN STRAND: Popular Cape Town duo Amelia Hoffman and Greg Clifton, will perform at Springbok Blues Theatre, on the corner of Fabriek and Potgieter Street in Gants Centre, Strand, on Friday 24 April at 19:00 and again on 8 and 29 May. Clifton is an accomplished key board player and arranger, who has toured South Africa and neighbouring countries extensively. He has also backed a number of top recording artists such as Louise Carver and Richard Ceas ar, among others. Powerful, versatile vocalist, Amelia Hoffman performed at Sun City for two years and numerous times in the Middle East. She performed at the International Muscat Hotel, the Sheraton El Gezirha and the Le Royal Meridian Beach Resort and Spa in Dubai. Greg and Amelia boast a vast repertoire of songs ranging from the ‘60s to currentday hits, and they also some times perform with the band, Late Final. For enquiries about the duo, phone 021 854 7787.
Bryan Miles The audience then had to shuffle the Trivial Pursuit cards, which contain around 1 500 questions, and hand
them back to Bryan. I then selected one of the cards and read the question in blue – the same colour as the disc I selected. The question was: What is the third planet from the sun in our solar system? The audience answered Earth (correctly)andIthenopenedtheverywell sealed box to reveal a globe. How he knew what the question would be, still astounds me. Bryan said he hopes his show will make people realise that people have a lot more potential within themselves than what they think, and that being at the right place at the right
time can have a big influence on our lives. A portion of the proceeds from the show will go towards one of the Helderberg Sunrise Rotary Club’s outreach programmes – Aanhouwen. Ann Stirling Roberts of the Helderberg Sunrise Rotary Club arranged the show along with Bryan and the Playhouse Theatre.

The histor ic Paard evlei Club was pur chased by David Price, founder and CEO of Man prop.
Cape investor seals the deal on historic buildings Four of the historic buildings at Paardevlei were recently snapped up by a Cape Town property investor. David Price, founder and CEO of Manprop, a company specialising in property investment, development and broking throughout South Africa, recently purchased four of the striking heritage buildings which form part of the historic Baker Square at Paardevlei, Somerset West. Price’s newly formed company, DeeBee House, took ownership of three buildings, designed by the iconic team of Sir Herbert Baker and Francis Masey, this month. The Baker/Masey buildings are the Paardevlei main office block, constructed in 1899, the Paardevlei Club, a striking structure with a central cupola with weathervane and a framed tower encompassing a bell in timber, as well as the site’s original main laboratory. The fourth structure to feature in this landmark deal is an additional office block
designed by an unknown architect in the earlier half of the 20th century. Price, who is widely regarded as both a savvy investor and expert on sectional title and share block conversions, describes his purchase as “an extremely valuable longterm investment”. All four buildings have permanent tenants and Price is happy to maintain the status quo. “I have no intention of altering the current model. I’ve simply taken advantage of a great investment opportunity. Paardevlei’s historic precinct has such flair and the development of this mini-city as a whole has such incredible potential and scope. I simply could not turn down the chance to be part of it,” he says. The massive landholding known as Paardevlei, consists of more than 740ha. Current landowner AECI is considering offers from potential buyers for the remaining bulk of the landholding and envisions the sale to be concluded before the end of the year.

Calling all longboard skaters Skateboarders looking for thrills and spills need look no further than the HiTeq Downhill Skateboarding Race from 1 to 3 May at the Highrising Complex in Grabouw. The event was previously organised by Sagra (South African Gravity Racing Association) but now organised by 78A who combined the two existing events into one to make it more fun for the skaters. Hiteq is a combination of Houwteq and High rising. The following categories and ages will apply at the event: Junior 1 – u. 14, Junior 2 – u. 18, open – 18 years and older, ladies – all ages and Luge – all ages (skateboarders lying on their backs) and Masters – over 30. The location is 12 km from Grabouw town centre. The
turnoff is on the N2 just past Gordons Country Kitchen Farm Restaurant – there’s a green municipal road sign indicating “High Rising”. Once on the road, pass a road boom and continue for 5 km until the reception building of High Rising Satellite testing facility – they will then direct you accordingly. This event is for true longboard fans and entrance is free of charge. There is a large medic team available to attend to injuries that occur on the infamous “carnage corner”. This event is known for injuries and big crashes which spectators seem to enjoy. There will be a vendor selling boerewors rolls and refreshments during the event and good music.
Ulrich Reimann, a German radio and newspaper journalist, started a project which he called “Boots and Balls”. Reimann identifies schools in need and then raises money to cover the cost of the soccer kits, boots, balls and water bottles. Somerset West residents Renate and Wolfgang Jakob, as well as their friends Hannah and Helmut Lob from Rainbow Agency came on board and joined the initiative to help make the donation possible to Sir Lowry’s Pass Primary. The first school Reimann sponsored was Bontebok Primary School in Swellendam and they were invited to play a friendly match against Sir Lowry’s Pass Primary in celebration of their newly sponsored soccer kits. Local butcher Peter Ilgmann sponsored 100 pieces of German sausage, which the children enjoyed after the match.

Public Notification of Intention to Conduct Controlled Burn Sitari Country Estate, Somerset West Invasive alien vegetation (Port Jackson & Blue Gum) was cut down and cleared on the Sitari Country Estate development before construction commenced.

The burn will be controlled according to the City of Cape Town Air Pollution and Fire Department requirements.

Boat and shore angling was rather dismal last weekend as a result of weather changes and cooler water temperatures. The mackerel that have recently kept anglers fishing from small boats and kayaks off Strand and other venues also seem to have disappeared. The water temperature in certain areas in False Bay dropped to 14°C and even lower during the past weekend. OnSaturdayandSundaymostboats–professional and recreational – reported good snoek catches in Buffelsbaai and Heuningsnes. Many of the tunny boats that went to the Canyon area had poor catches, with only a few smaller yellowfin caught by charter crews who fished around the area until late afternoon. Local charter boats Lynx and Tyler only caught six smaller yellowfin between 25 kg and 30 kg for the day. On Lynx, Alan du Plessis, who fished from Sunday to Monday morning, only caught a few smaller yellowfin. The only large tunny caught was a 100kg yellowfin taken on the west area of the Canyon from the boat My Time by Mike de Wet from Hout Bay. One of the most remarkable tunny catches reported during this recent tunny run was the 125 kg big eye caught by Delano Goldberg on Saturday 18 March on Okkie Vermeulen’s boat Salty. According to Alan du Plessis it took him about 2,5 hours to land the fish and, as far as Alan knows, this is the biggest tuna caughtbyaGordon’sBayBoatAnglingClub member in the last four years. An Australian diver, photographer and boat crew recently witnessed what they described as the most spectacular sights they have ever witnessed – the massive sardine run off the Transkei coast last week. The massive school of sardines, being herded by sharks, dolphins and a whale, must have been an amazing sight, with a
FISH ’N CHIRPS
Art Ridgway thousand of gannets also dive-bombing the sardines from the air. The crew even managed to film a shark snapping up a diving gannet which had a sardine in its beak. Due to this early sardine run, which is heading to Durban and higher up the coast, it is speculated that smaller elf have left our area and started migrating around the coast. Fishing from the local beaches has been limited to a few galjoen, belman and white stumpnose. Among the successful die-hard anglers fishing from Blake’s Island were Danie Ronald (three galjoen and one white stumpnose), Johan Uys (one white stumpnose and one dassie) and Johan Slabbert (one galjoen). Ferdie Joubert reported that an inter-club angling competition was hosted by Pearly Beach club last weekend. Eight clubs participated and 72 fish, with a total weight of 103,35 kg were weighed. The edible fish caught included 11 kob, 39 galjoen, three white steenbras, 13 hottentot, two blacktail and two wildeperd. Gordon’sBayRockandSurfAnglingClub won the event.

Strand tennis star clinches two South African titles Talented Strand tennis player Jan-Louis Maritz was crowned the under-18 South African junior champion in the doubles and mixed-doubles categories in Bloemfontein recently. Maritz, a talented and hardworking tennis player, attends Paul Roos Gymnasium and plays his tennis in the Helderberg, where he has already captured some significant local titles. In the Bloemfontein event, he lost his singles match in the semi-final stage to topseeded Nikolai Manchev 6-4 and 6-4, but
then teamed up with Leon Olivier to win the doubles title against Danrich Kruger and Jake Weatherhead with 6-4 and 6-4. He also won the mixed-doubles title with partner Lienke de Kock, when they beat Hubert Badenhorst and Huibre-Marie Botes 7-6 and 6-3 in the final. Maritz has already tasted success in singles and doubles in earlier years when he competed in under-14 and under-16 categories. He has also represented Boland and South Africa in provincial and international competitions.
Local teams find the going tough in Super League With three Super League matches played in the Helderberg this weekend, it was tough going for the local sides as they conceded a total of 173 points. After just two rounds it might still be a bit too early to ring any alarm bells, but progress needs to be made and it needs to be made quickly. Although losing by a big margin, St Georges didn’t do as badly as the scoreline suggests, but they seem to be struggling to adjust to the pace of the Super League A games. Berge and Sir Lowrians have a few weeks off, while Lulus face Maties in their next big match. This weeks fixtures are: Raithby Universals vs Collegians (Raithby) RU are still adapting to this league, but have not done badly thus far. But there are no easy games for them. Collegians come in this match having also lost two matches, so they will be eager to get their first win. Traditionally, Collegians has been the “bigger’’ team, but that will count for nothing this week. Prediction: Raithby to win by 7 or less Strand United vs Paarl (Abattoir) United had a tough game last week. I can’t remember the last time Paarl travelled to Abattoir and won a game. For United to stay in contention with the top clubs, they will have to win this one. Paarl are doing well this season, but generally they don’t travel well. Prediction: United to win by 5 or more. Strand vs Silvertree (Gustrouw)
Strand are eventually going to start their season after two bye weekends. Having had a good pre-season and training camp, they will definitely be targeting this match for five points. Silvertree will struggle with the fast pace of the game and fade. Strand are one of my favourites in this league. Prediction: Strand to win by 10 or more Strand Pioneers vs Khayelitsha (Khayelitsha) Pines have had a good influx of players after having struggled with this in early season. They seem to be scoring more tries, yet still conceding too many. Khayelitsha play a fastpaced game, so if Pines manage to keep up, this could be the win they have been yearning for this season. Prediction: Pioneers to win by three or more All Saints vs Kylemore (Kylemore) All Saints last away game against Cloetesville proved they can beat good teams on the road. Kylemore are not bad at home and should be favourites, but I feel All Saints mean business this season. Prediction: All Saints to win by 6 or less. Lets keep supporting our teams even though they going through rough patches now.
Berge sit goed af, vou onder druk Valsbaai het verlede Saterdag 66-18 oor tuisspan Helderberg geseëvier in hul Superliga-A-kragmeting op die Charles Morkel-stadion. In die eerste 20 minute het Helderberg driemaal voorgeloop, maar helaas, hierna het swak dissipline en ’n gevolglike geelkaart die span duur te staan gekom. In dié tyd het Valsbaai twee verdoelde drieë by hul telling gevoeg. Helderberg het later meer bestendig gespeel, maar Valsbaai het bly domineer om eindelik met 66-18 te wen nadat die rustydtelling 33-13 in laasgenoemde se guns was. Vyf minute ná die afskop was die tuisspan voor na ’n goeie drie deur die uitblinker flank Alvino Anthony. Sy drie is verdoel deur senter Deon Taljaard (7-0). Valsbaai het ná nog vyf minute gelyk getrek met ’n verdoelde drie (7-7). Kort hierna het Taljaard Berge weer
The Somerset West Hockey Club’s first, second, third and fourth women’s teams got their 2015 season off to an excellent start with wins in all of their matches.

The third team beat WPCC sixth team 7-0
and beat Milnerton third team 1-0 and the fourth team (masters) beat Cafe Del Mar 6-0. The club’s men’s teams were not as successful. The first team lost 5-1 to the WPCC first team; the second team lost 13-1 to the WPCC 4th team; the third team played to a 2-2 stalemate with Durbanville; the fourth team lost 5-1 to WPCC 7; and the masters drew 6-6 with Bellville Masters.

laat voorloop met ’n strafdoel (10-7). Die Baai het intussen weer gaan druk (10-12), voordat Taljaard weer suksesvol was met nog ’n strafdoel (13-12). Ná ’n geelkaart het Valsbaai alle aspekte van die spel oorheers. Tog kan gesê word dat Helderberg se kaptein en losskakel Brendan Smith alles in die stryd gewerp het, met sy veteraan skakelmaat, Breyten Isaacs, nie ver agter nie. Berge se lostrio het baie hard probeer om al die gate toe te stop, met heelwat minder ondersteuning van hul vaste vyf. Kort voor die eindfluitjie, en met die telbord op 66-13, het die blitsige jong linkervleuel Ryan Solomons vanaf die middellyn deurgenael vir sy drie in die hoek, om die eindtelling 66-18 te maak. Met twee langnaweke wat voorlê is dit slegs die Crusaders wat tuis speel om 20:00 op Donderdag 30 April teen Villager.

It was a second bite of the cherry at the WP Super League A for St Georges RFC (Lulu Boys) as they hosted Belhar RFC at Gustrouw Sports Grounds on Saturday 18 April. The match, which they lost 0-60, started in similar fashion to that of the first match against Tygerberg the previous week. The hosts scored the first points, through a well-worked move, with their flanker rounding off in the corner. The Lulu Boys also had an opportunity to put more points on the scoreboard with a penalty conversion, but it was missed by flyhalf Moeneeb Brinkhuis. The Belhar attack was ruthless and penetrated the lacklustre St Georges defence on more than one occasion. Veteran scrumhalf Morne Adams had another attempt at a penalty, but the kick went wide of the posts again. Moments of brilliance from young flank
forward Robin Lawrence tested the Belhar defence on more than one occasion. He also stood firm against the visitors. Belhar recently competed in the Community Challenge tournament and their pre-season intensity was evident in the onslaught they brought to the match, allowing St Georges no chance to get a sniff of dominance. Crucial errors at critical stages during their attacks eliminated the contest and subsequently took the match away from the hosts; this broke their momentum while the well-established Belhar made use of all their opportunities. All is not lost for St Georges, as the season is far from over. Relishing in the enjoyment and experience that the Super League A brings will provide hope to the loyal players, members and supporters. It is, however, back to the drawing board for St Georges as they travel to Stellenbosch to take on Maties on Wednesday 29 April.

SLA: VALIANT EFFORT BY LEAGUE’S NEWCOMERS
Navy Train fails to stop Maroon Machine Sir Lowrians can hold their heads up high despite losing their Super League A clash 22-42 to Maties at Sir Lowry’s Park on Saturday. In fact, the Navy Train dominated the first half and continued their dominance in the second half, when they also scored the first points. The local lads looked as if they were on their way to a huge upset and were leading 22-12 after 60 minutes of play – much to the delight of the 3 500 mostly Sir Lowrians fans. Two early first half penalties by Earl Rose saw Sir Lowrians go 6-0 ahead in the match. They then stretched their lead to 13-0 after a try by Errol Jaggers. The try was converted by Rose, who also slotted a penalty just before the break to take his team to a 16-0 lead at half-time. A drop goal by Rose just after the break saw the hosts go 19-0 ahead. A try by Maties lock Grant Prior was converted by substitute Chris Smith to change the score to 19-7. ApenaltybyRosestretchedSirLowrians’lead to 22-7, before a try by Maties eighthman Devon Nash, and converted by Smith, took the score to 22-14. The first of three tries by Maties speedy winger Craig Barry was then converted by Smith (2221).
It was around this time that Maties made several telling substitutions – the fresh legs and superior fitness levels proved too much for Sir Lowrians to contain, as the visitors ran in five unanswered converted tries in the last 20 minutes. Barry scored his second try – converted by Smith – to give Maties a 22-28 lead. Maties fullback Jason Worral then added to the score with another try, which was slotted by Smith (22-35). Barry then went over for his third try, which Smith converted to make the final score 22-42. For Sir Lowrians, Rose and scrumhalf Bolla Conradie really stood out as they dictated the match for about 60 minutes. Rose scored 17 of Sir Lowrians’ points and did not miss a single kick at goal. The match was a historical one for Sir Lowry’s Pass as it was the first time Maties played against Sir Lowrians at the Sir Lowry’s Pass grounds in a league match. Rugby fans from across the Helderberg and Stellenbosch converged on the Sir Lowry’s Pass facility to watch the long and anxiously awaited match. And despite the local team losing to the mighty Maroon Machine, supporters from both clubs left the ground satisfied after witnessing a thrilling rugby spectacle.
