Parking mayhem in Obs TAURIQ HASSEN
PROPOSALS to tackle the ongoing traffic concerns in Observatory are set to be distributed within the next week. The traffic and parking concerns are driving residents up the wall. Complaints and suggestions have been fed through to officials at the City of Cape Town, but the lack of answers has left residents “frustrated”. According to the Observatory Improvement District (Obsid), the main problem is the lack of parking for residents due to the influx of visitors to Observatory. Ancois Bester, the office manager at Obsid, remains adamant that parking and traffic problems in Observatory is “a very big issue”. Bester explains: “We have had numerous meetings with council and the local ward councillor. We were able to present plans or suggestion to these problems, but finding a solution is not that easy.” Obsid was informed that plans were being
drawn up by the City, but understands that solving the parking issue will not happen overnight. When People’s Post drove through Observatory’s Lower Main Road last week, problems were clearly evident, with delivery trucks double parking and large volumes of traffic attempting to make their way through the narrow street. Many residents have yet to adapt to the “crazy traffic” situation and encourages the City to come up with amicable solutions to the problem. Resident Jeffrey Stevens always has cars blocking his driveway when the hype picks up in the Lower Main Road. He completely understands that the “nightlife must continue”, but says: “We do not have to burdened with these problems and although the residents understand that the parking spaces do not belong to residents, there is still a matter of respecting people’s space”. For Wilma Adams, cars speeding past her home in Trill Road searching for parking is a common occurrence. However, she fears leaving her home or even vacating the parking space in the front
of her home, as finding a new parking spot close to her home would be near impossible. Adams says: “You take a gamble and it’s not right. Why should we live in this sort of situation only for people to be hunting down a good time.” Bester was aware of residents’ fears, but says: “Plans are being worked on at the moment and we do understand the community’s frustrations.” Obsid also highlights that employees at a nearby office complex chose to avoid paying for parking, opting to park in the streets. “Transport consultants have noticed that parking inside the office park is routinely under-utilised, but investigations into this matter have been conducted,” a report from Obsid states. Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committee member for Transport, Roads and Stormwater, confirms that the City is aware of the traffic situation and is currently attending to “a number of traffic issues in the Observatory area”. Herron says: “The City’s Transport Department is working closely with Premier
Foods to develop a plan for truck access to the Salt River mill and bakery, that will not make use of the residential roads.” He anticipates that this plan will be presented to the Obsid and the local civic association within the next four weeks. Herron believes that closing off the Lower Main Road for extended periods on the weekend, would “place an unacceptable burden on some of the more minor parallel streets.” Proposals have also been developed for Collingwood Road, but will be distributed within the next week to residents for comment before a final decision is taken on the matter. “One only needs to drive through the Observatory area to know that the narrow roads are difficult to navigate with traffic and onstreet parking causing congestion and gridlock,” says Herron.

He protested by drawing a picture of me, complete with long hair – as opposed to her short hair – and then showing her who his mother is. To her telling him that the name he is known by was not his name, he promptly wrote down the five letters of his name. Although I was angry at the bad timing, I was very proud of my son for standing his ground and asserting his identity. I was also proud of his confidence; and ability to spell and draw. Sadly, he was traumatised after this meeting, constantly expressing his fear at being taken away from his home and parents. Through mutual agreement, a series of regular visits aimed at reuniting my son with his biological family has been scheduled, with the first one meant to have taken place today. I was relieved when the social worker informed me yesterday that the visit had been cancelled. But I know that future interactions are inevitable and that I cannot control the processes that may stem from them. What I can do is protect my son from hurt, remind all parties concerned that decisions should be made in his, not the adults’ best interests and continue to provide a safe, loving home for him. In a perfect world, I would have protected my son from some of his life truths, but as the older and responsible one, I know that life seldom goes according to plan. As I look forward to Ramadan and the peace and strength it will bring me, I am also aware that it will be a crucial time for me to choose the correct responses to influence a positive outcome for the child entrusted to me. ’Til next time, go well!

We are well into the first week of Ramadan, a holy month during which Muslims throughout the world go without food, drink and physical intimacies from sunrise to sunset. The month is spent performing extra prayers (Taraweeh), remaining spiritually contemplative and repentant, and showing empathy and charity towards those less privileged. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam and is known for its spiritual and health benefits. Those who have fasted for many years will know how testing a journey it can be. Foregoing food and drink is the easier part. Remaining steadfast in your spiritual resolve and resisting provocation is the hard part. It is especially trying when, in addition to the usual demands of your professional and personal life, you are faced with extra challenges. The beauty of being in a state of fasting though is that your body and mind automatically transcends base urges and, even if you wanted to lash out in anger at someone who has annoyed you, you invariably find yourself unable to. Usually by the end of Ramadan, Muslims feel sad for a host of reasons. Some regret not optimising the spiritual growth opportunity, others feel a sense of loss of the unity experienced, and many undertake to uphold the practices of kindness and sharing. My challenge as I progress through this month,will be to act selflessly and contain my emotions as I brace myself for one of the toughest challenges of my life; that of letting the little boy who has known me as his mother for five of his six years learn that he has another mother. Two weeks ago, my foster son’s life was turned upside down when he met his birth mother, whom he hadn’t seen in four years. She took him one side and quietly told him that she was his real mother and wanted to take him home with her.

Cops on civvy duty – a joke or not? A DECISION by the national police authorities to cancel private contracts – including guards at gates and cleaning services – has been met with ridicule.
SCEPTICAL: Pe ter Samuel, a former firefight er, says back in the day they used to have to clean their own fire engines; now they have cleaners do it. He says the po lice should look after them selves, but he doesn’t think it will happen. “If it does, what will they do with the money they save?”
The official opposition, the DA, has reportedly said nobody will take seriously a police officer with a “mop in hand”. DA spokesperson Dianne Kohler Barnard said: “This means we have fewer cops on the streets and more in police offices taking responsibility for non-core duties.” People’s Post reporters Teresa Fischer, Laila Majiet and Summer Jacobs polled readers for their views.
DOUBTFUL: Deliwe Shaba (30) says it is a bad idea. “Police have enough work. As it stands, there is just about enough police officers to fight crime. These police officers can not be expect ed to clean and guard po lice stations when they should be pro tecting us.”
SAFETY FIRST: Rita Sheldon be lieves pro tecting peo ple is the first and foremost duty of the police. “They should not be asked to do menial tasks. They have been trained and are paid to provide the service of pro tection, not to keep things tidy.”
AGAINST: Vero nique Lemeney says: “I didn’t even know they had security guards at police stations. By hav ing security they are creating jobs for people and there will be more police out in the field. What will happen now if one phones them and they can’t come out because they are busy guarding the station?” GOOD IDEA: Clive Booysen (49) says it may be a good idea to get police to do civilian work. How ever, he says: “It shouldn’t in terfere with their polic ing work. Po lice officers already have a lot on their plate.”
UNFAIR: Ashraf Khan (32) thinks police have a big enough task sweeping the streets of crime. “We cannot be calling on police and be told they’re too busy guarding police stations or mop ping to attend to our crime con cerns. Children are not going to want to become police officers anymore”. BE RESOURCE FUL: Myrtle Christian says police stations should use the services at hand. “I know some po lice stations with holding cells use the people in the holding cells to help clean around the sta tion. This way they can do something con structive instead of doing nothing all day.”
Programme makes inroads into teen mental health A GROUNDBREAKING mental health programme puts renewed focus on teenagers. Called MindMatters, the programme aims to promote mental health and to prevent and reduce the onset of mental illness among teens. To bring home their message, Cape Mental Health has launched a roadshow to reach 14- to 18-yearolds. Maleeka Mokallik, communications manager of Cape Mental Health, says the aim is to reach about 2 000 pupils with their roadshow, themed Be Kind To You. To this end, a team of social workers will be visiting, among others, Maitland, Zeekoevlei, Westridge, Crystal and Ocean View high schools as part of mental health and psychiatric disability awareness month.
Says Mokallik: “The aim of the campaign is to create awareness of and educate young people about mental illness with a specific focus on the prevention of substance misuse and suicide.” The statistics offer a rude awakening. According to the SA Depression and Anxiety Group (Sadag), there are 230 attempted suicides each day, of which 23 are successful; 9,5% of all teen deaths are attributed to suicides. And the youngest suicide victim was seven years old. Mokallik says mental illness is a “serious problem and rapidly on the increase among young people – not only in South Africa, but on a global scale”. Factors which could hinder the mental and physical well-being of individuals each day include unemployment, substandard education, poor living condi-
tions, low morale, substance misuse, risky sexual behaviour, bullying, violence, inadequate access to health care and the high rate of tik addiction. The MindMatters programme enables learners to make more appropriate life choices despite being exposed to factors that hinder their well being and the programme coordinator Elroy Solomons says: “The pupils have learned to cope better with stressful situations and can now manage their lives more effectively.” He adds there have been a “sharp decrease in teenage pregnancies, abuse and violence at the schools”. Cape Mental Health will this month – which is Psychiatric Disability Awareness Month – focus on Youth and Mental Health. Mokallik says they are calling on parents, teachers and pupils to
work toward the prevention of mental illness and the promotion of mental health. “As a nation, it is our collective responsibility to ensure that young people are effectively equipped to deal with the pressures of daily living.” During the roadshow, pupils will receive trendy, user-friendly educational cards – called Z cards because of the way the card collapses and unfolds – pertaining to mental health and illness. All 17 mental health societies countrywide will also be addressing the public and encouraging families to engage openly about mental health. Mokallik says Cape Mental Health offers a dual approach to detecting and treating mental health matters in youth. They provide adequate mental health support structures and help create awareness of
mental health issues. “Mental illness contributes to the third highest burden of disease in SA and it is known that mental disorders are a leading cause of disability and loss of economic productivity. Yet when people think of disability, they tend to think about physical disabilities” says Mokallik. “A direct consequence of this is that the promotion of mental health and the prevention of mental illness are often overlooked as priorities and are grossly underfunded by the State.” She says it is vital to understand mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of and many people learn to manage their illness and continue their lives. “There is always hope.” As the oldest such facility in the country, Cape Mental Health provides a host of services. Contact them on (021) 447 9040.

Public to participate in closure process LAILA MAJIET
THE PUBLIC will be given a voice in the closure of Zonnebloem Nest Senior Secondary School. The school faces closure due to the dwindling number of pupils when compared to initial enrolment, as well as underperformance. In previous reports, the school’s principal Jonty Damsell said he does not agree with the reasons cited by the provincial education department. He said that provincial education minister Donald Grant asking for public representations on the closure when his final decision had been taken long ago, is contradictory. On the heels of the imminent closure of 27 schools in the province, the public is called on to participate in the closure process. Damsell says the school caters mainly for Xhosa-speaking pupils, therefore when the education department changed the pass requirements for English, many of the matriculants failed and the school had to adapt. He says: “This year the school received R12 000 from the education department for improvement in mathematics in Grade 12. Again we are unsure of how we can be classified as underperforming when we received this large sum of money for improvement.” But Grant hits back: “After considering all representations received from the governing bodies concerned, I have decided to proceed with the public hearings in respect of each of the 27 schools and have taken steps to inform each of the schools of my decision. “This decision merely officially marks the beginning of the broader participation process. It does not indicate any final decision on my behalf.”
Earlier this month, the provincial education department informed the school of the next process in its possible closure in an official notice. The letter’s subject was “the official closure”. Damsell says the subject of the letter implied that the Department of Education had already made up its mind. Provincial education department spokesperson, Bronagh Casey, counters: “The education department is aware of the confusion over the subject line of the letter issued to schools. We have contacted each of the schools to ensure that they are aware of the process involved and that they must refer to the contents of the letter. ” The provincial education department say they are at this stage unable to comment on improvement in academic results made by any of the 27 schools facing closure. Casey explains the aim of the proposed school closure “is to improve opportunities for the children concerned. “The department would like to place them at schools better equipped to provide quality education.” A final decision on the school closures is expected to be made in September or October after Grant “has reviewed all the representations and submissions by the school governing bodies, department and the public through the public participation process”. At the time of going to print, People’s Post had tried repeatedly to gain further comment from the school but was unsuccessful.
NEXT STEP: Zonnebloem Nest will be part of a public participation process to make a further representation to the provincial education department in a bid to keep the school open.

THE CITY of Cape Town would like to remind all pet owners to apply for any additional pets they might have, as set in the City’s Animal Bylaw 2010, before the 31 July deadline. The Pet Registration process is in line with the City of Cape Town’s Animal Bylaw of 2010 where, instead of buying an annual dog licence, pet owners are simply required to register all cats and dogs kept on their property. Pet owners applying timeously for more animals than they are permitted for their properties will qualify for automatic sanction/permission. Hereafter, they may be fined for their excess animals and for pets without a chip, name tag or tattoo to identify them. Pet owners applying after this deadline can be assured that their applications for more animals than permitted per proper-
ty will never be unreasonably denied. The application process commenced on 1 March. The deadline for the City’s pet registration programme, which is designed to develop a database of all domestic animals in Cape Town, has been set as 31 August. The pet registration process is also in line with the City’s Animal Bylaw of 2010, which prescribes registration of all dogs and cats kept on domestic properties. Owners of unregistered pets may be issued a compliance notice, followed by a fine of R300. Failure to adhere will lead to any unregistered animals being confiscated and impounded under the Animal Bylaw. Applicants are encouraged to use the online registration as this will avoid errors in data capturing and will also allow for an immediate email response to the applicant as proof of registration. Electronic forms can be completed on the City’s website at www.capetown.gov.za or requested from lawenforcement@capetown. gov.za. Printed forms can be obtained from any City Law Enforcement Office or local public library.

Problem site to be cleared TAURIQ HASSEN
AN INDIAN EATERY will replace a derelict eyesore in Upper Woodstock. More than just a lick of paint will be undertaken by the property owner, who will start renovating the house at the corner of Palmerston and Roodebloem Roads once finances are finalised. The redevelopment has been met with sighs of relief from residents who were previously forced to put up with dumping, unattended fires and drunken behaviour at the site (People’s Post, “Vagrants move in”, 17 August 2010). Property owner Jagdish Vanzarn, who also owns Chandani Restaurant which is located metres away from the site, confirms that plans had already been approved. Vanzarn says he has plans to turn the property in to an Indian restaurant. “We are awaiting finances in order to start with the construction at the site,” he says. Construction will commence “as soon as possible” – but all focus is on gaining the necessary funds to back the development. Building work was stopped last December when the City of Cape Town’s Building Inspector was notified of unauthorised building activities. Cheryl Walters, the director for the City’s Planning and Building Development Management department, confirms plans have now been approved for the site. The approved proposal, which is valid for a year, suggests that a can-

Resident David Erasmus is relieved by the plans as the eyesore was “horribly affecting” neighbouring property values. Last year, Erasmus attempted to sell his home, but a potential buyer told him there were were too many vagrants loitering outside his property. “They referred to this horrible site and I knew this would affect any sort of sale. I decided to stay in this area because it was too difficult to sell,” he says.
Resident Sally O’Neil expresses her outrage at scenes of vagrants fighting, building fires and dumping. She was especially incensed by the number of vagrants occupying the property. “We had lodged concerns with the owner on numerous occasions and there were times we felt we just wanted to go onto the property and kick those vagrants out ourselves,” she says. When People’s Post visited the site last week, the property had been cleared.

For Muslims, those 29 or 30 days are a spiritual exercise designed to bring them closer to God through contemplation and humility, but not without joy and festivities. They are required to abstain from food, drink and sex of any sort during daylight hours. They may indulge in all three at night. Ramadan is, in Islam, what Thanksgiving is in the United States – an extended occasion for socialising, celebrating and loving.
Ramadan is one of the five pillars, or essential practices, of Islam. The fasting rule is not inflexible. Children, the infirm, the sick, pregnant women and sometimes even travellers are not required to fast. There’s also the matter of logic: what would a scientist working in the Arctic or the Antarctic, for example, where the sun may neither set nor rise at all, depending on the season, be required to do? What would a traveller jetting from one end of the globe to the other, hurdling time zones while outlasting the sun’s normal rhythm for 24 hours, be required
to do? In either case, Islam is not obtuse. The practising Muslim would fast in accordance with a clock he or she sets realistically, perhaps in line with the rising and setting sun on Mecca time. Ramadan does not fall on a specific date on the Gregorian, or Western, calendar. Nor is it determined scientifically, but by clerics’ observation, through the naked eye, of the first sliver of the new moon on the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. That means Ramadan in Algeria could begin a full day earlier or later than Ramadan in Oman. – www.about.com

We wish all our Muslim customers a Ramadaan Kareem!
Experience the joy of giving CHARITY is very important in Islam, and even more so during Ramadan.
lieve that all good deeds are more handsomely rewarded in Ramadaan than in any other month of the year. Consequently, many will choose this time to give a larger portion, if not all, of the zakat for which they are obligated to give. In addition, many will also use this time to give a larger portion of sadaqa in order to maximise the reward they believe will await them on the Day of Judg-
Zakat, often translated as “the poor-rate”, is obligatory as one of the pillars of Islam; a fixed percentage is required to be given by those with savings. Sadaqa is voluntary charity in giving above and beyond what is required from the obligation of zakat. Muslims be-
ment. In many Muslim countries, it is not uncommon to see people giving more food to the poor and the homeless, and even to see large public areas for the poor to come and break their fast. It is said that if a person helps a fasting person to break their fast, then they receive a reward for that fast, without diminishing the reward that the fasting person got for their fast. Even in non-Mus-
People’s Post wishes all Muslim readers well over the fast
lim countries, no matter how small the Muslim population, a consistent increase in charitable donations to both fellows Muslims and non-Muslims occurs more so in this month. In the USA, for example, many Muslim communities dispersed throughout the country, participate in contributing food, clothes and non-perishable food items to local charities. – www.wikipedia.org

Police hit drug dens TAURIQ HASSEN
THREE suspects were arrested and R20 000 worth of drugs were confiscated last week. On Tuesday, Woodstock police swooped on two suspected drug dens in the area. Sergeant Hilton Malila, spokesperson for the Woodstock police, explains that the first arrest was made in Albert Road at around 12:30. A 67-year-old man was seen running into one of the pubs, catching the eye of officers on scheduled crime prevention patrols. “When police chased after the man, the officer noticed that he was trying to hide a plastic container inside the pub,” says Malila. When police opened the container, they discovered 123 pieces of heroin, valued at R12 000. The second arrest was made at the Dublin Mews at around 13:30, when police discovered a large quantity of compressed dagga. A 36-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were detained after members of the Western Cape Flying Squad swooped on two flats in the block in Dublin Street. “The arrests follows a crime intelligence operation,” Malila says. He confirms that the confiscated dagga

has a street value of around R8 000. All suspects appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Thursday on charges relating to dealing and possession of dagga and drugs. “The Woodstock police wants to appeal to the public to report all illegal activities happening within our policing precinct,” he says. . Police arrested 22 suspects and issued fines to the value of R6 500 over the weekend. During liquor licence compliance inspections, police visited 31 liquor premises, where fines for non-compliance were handed out. Malila says that various crime prevention operations and patrols were conducted, resulting in 22 arrests for various crimes. Seven arrests were made for possession of drugs, two for robbery, two for possession of stolen property, two for drunken driving and two for theft out of motor vehicle. “We also confiscated drugs and dagga with an estimated street value of R5 000,” says Malila. Other suspects were arrested for less serious offences within the Woodstock area. All arrested suspects appeared in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Monday 23 July) on various charges. Malila says: “These sort of operations will be done on a continuous basis, over weekends, in the Woodstock precinct.”
It starts at 09:30 and refreshments will be served. The talk will be on Pace Makers and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators, and will be given by a Medtronic representative. Contact Annamarie Oosthuizen on 0 072 472 2809 or Gill Smit on 0 083 677 1284.

Safety wrap THE Summer Olympics kick off in London on Friday. One of the major concerns levelled at the SA 2010 World Cup Soccer – crime – is coming back to haunt London. Among the most barbed voices in the world media, the Brits simply could not reign in their negativity around a safe world event in this former colony. History has proven their fears unfounded. Now the same questions are being asked of the London Olympics. How safe will visitors and athletes be? In particular, Israeli athletes who mark the 40th anniversary of the Games in Munich, Germany, when terrorists killed 11 Israeli athletes and coaches. Chairman of the London 2012 Olympics, Sebastian Coe, has promised a “safe and secure” event. Coe fielded media enquiries after the failure of private security company G4S to provide adequate security staff. This has led to 3 500 more British troops being called in, making it about 17 000 troops on duty to keep Coe true to his word. Safety of another matter has also been an issue. Sex workers in Newham, the east London area which houses the stadium, have been bearing the brunt of a police blitz. The expected influx of two million visitors for the Olympics will, it is reportedly predicted, inject £13bn into the UK economy over the next four years. Perhaps safe sex is the one aspect of personal safety visitors to London may not have to worry about. A crime associated directly with the SA Soccer World Cup – the armed robbery of three foreign reporters covering the Portuguese soccer team at a four-star high-security lodge near Johannesburg – has at the time been solved promptly. Two Zimbabweans and a Nigerian were arrested, charged, tried, convicted and sentenced in one of 54 special courts set up. The world waits to see if the same efficiency can be expected of London.

Death penalty is no solution THE ugly face of the death penalty shocked many of us when a young woman was publicly executed in Afghanistan. It never has a pretty face and can never be “humane”. I was a young boy of 12 when I first encountered the death penalty. A young man killed his lover and her mother in Cradock, my birthplace. He attempted suicide, but was later executed. That day I decided to devote my life to the fight against this vile form of punishment. Through the years I’ve written numerous letters to newspapers nationally to make people think how despicably it is used in different countries. More than half the countries of the world have already abolished it. Not one desires to reintroduce this Trojan horse. The bullying tactics of the super powers to continue using it for their own dubious ends is a big stumbling block. China at one stage had 67 capital offences, nowadays about 56. In the USA and several others, like Saudi Arabia, even youngsters

and the mentally challenged can be executed. The death penalty is very emotional and sensitive and causes untold anxiety to both parties, the victim, the perpetrator and their families. No scientific or empirical evidence that the death penalty has deterrent value has emerged and never will. Politicians should introduce a law making this claim a criminal offence. Many countries have come to SA seeking to learn how it was ever possible to extricate ourselves from our disastrous past. Others will unfortunately never be successful in unshackling themselves from theirs without paying a monstrous price in the loss of human life, relationships and infrastructure. The death penalty is a violent act and will always lead to more violence. There is nothing good about it. Anyone who supports the death penalty is himself a potential murderer. KOERT U MEYER

across the world compete for the winner’s trophy. Wynberg Boy’s High’s under-18A side overcame a challenge by last year’s winners, New South Wales Bushrangers, with a hardfought 2-0 victory after a goalless first half. Wynberg’s goals were scored by Dylan Grobler and boys’ Player of the Tournament,
Jason Smith. It was a grudge match in more ways than one, as the 2011 boys’ final had seen the Bushrangers shade Wynberg 2-1. The leading goal scorer in the boys’ tournament was Elmarco Stoman of Paarl Gim, with seven successful strikes. In the girls’ final Somerset, well led by
girls’ Player of the Tournament Natasha Rootenberg, underlined their class with an emphatic 7-0 win over a spirited DF Malan High after leading 3-0 at half-time. The tournament started on Wednesday 18 July and all games were played at either UCT, Hartleyvale or Bergvliet High School.

Urban Warriors match United THE long-awaited battle between Ajax Cape Town and Manchester United ended in a 1-1 draw at Cape Town Stadium. The match, which had been eagerly anticipated by both teams fans since its announcement, was played in wet and rainy conditions. This, however, did not stop fans from donning their team’s colours to the match to watch the somewhat disappointing match. Ajax drew first blood when substitute, Alcardo Van Graan, chipped in a cross, catching Manchester United’s solid defence offguard. The 19 time English league champions waited until the 93rd minute of stoppage time to spoil the Urban Warrior’s party, when another substitute, Bebe, skilfully slotted in the ball into the back of the net from close range. Ajax proved their worth against a Manchester United team missing big names such as Wayne Rooney, Nani and Nemanja Vidic. Khama Billiat was one of the stand out performers for Ajax, giving United’s young left back, Tyler Blackett, a tough day at the office. The Zimbabwean winger, who was named man of the match, had the Cape Town outfit’s first real chance, striking the ball just wide of the right hand post. Minutes later the winger tore United’s midfield, which featured experience campaigners in Micheal Carrick and veteran Paul Scholes, to shreds before losing his footing and the opportunity was lost. Chances were few for United, with Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez getting on the end of few chances missed in front of goal. Winger Antonio Valencia was left frustrated, as

BARGING THROUGH: Japan international Shinji Kagawa of Man chester United and Ajax Cape Town captain Granwald Scott tussle for pos session during the friendly match be tween the two sides at Cape Town Stadi um. Photo: Rashied Isaacs
Ajax stubborn defence stood tall. A close range header by the Mexican striker got the crowd to their feet, but an acrobatic save from Dutch keeper Sander Westerveld, denied the games opener. In the second half, United came out firing, but still lacked the killer instinct in front of goal. The closest chance came from the head of new signing, Shinji Kagawa, when a pin point accurate cross from Bebe was headed inches wide from the post. Ajax hitman, Terror Fanteni, stung the hands of United keeper, Ben Amos, when his effort was dug out in the 75th minute. Ajax coach Maarten Stekelenburg was delighted at the performance displayed by the Urban Warriors, saying: “The players were all pumped up for this game and playing in front of a full stadium motivated our players even further.” Defensively, Stekelenburg highlighted the efforts of Nazeer Allie and the towering figure of Matthew Booth, acknowledging that the Cape side had conceded too many goals last season. “It’s still in our pre-season for us that’s why we made a number of substitutions to ensure that we keep our players fresh, but we will continue to work hard on the training field so that at the start of our season, we can continue where we left off,” says the proud Stekelenburg. Manchester United Manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, was impressed with Ajax’s performance when he told MUTV: “They caused us a few problems and we decided to make changes and bring on the younger players, but it was a very competitive game.” He was particularly impressed with the performance of his two new signings, Kagawa and Nick Powell.
