Golf clubs under pressure amidst housing crisis STEVE KRETZMANN AND PETER LUHANGA

A City notice advertising the renewal of a 10-year lease on the 49ha King David Mowbray Golf Club for R11,500 per annum, which sparked a campaign and petition for the well-situated public land to be used for affordable housing, has been withdrawn.

The notice was placed by the City of Cape Town on 24 July ahead of the expiry of the golf club’s current 10-year lease. It followed a similar 10-year lease renewal notice for the adjacent 45ha Rondebosch Golf Club, situated directly across the Black River, which was advertised in February this year.

In the midst of a housing crisis, exacerbated by

economic crisis due to the Covid-19 lockdown which saw 109 land invasions across the city in the last two months alone by people seeking to erect homes, the renewal of cheap leases for golf clubs on prime City-owned open land has not been well received by activists and residents struggling to house themselves.

Living on land along the railway reserve which runs past Dunoon, 39-year-old Sibongile Mbodlela shares her tworoom shack with her husband and four children in the Siyahlala informal settlement.

Mbodlela, who has been living there since she came from the Eastern Cape in 1995 to seek

an urban lifestyle and work opportunities, has no running water and has to share an infrequentlycleaned communal toilet with up to five other families.

She said living conditions were overcrowded and unsanitary, but the golf course in Rondebosch or Mowbray could be used to build accommodation for all the families in Siyahlala informal settlement..

“There are 1500 shacks here. Toilets are dirty and filthy. Greywater runs in between shacks. There are no available open spaces. There is no place for children to play,” said Mbodlela.

She said people’s lives are more important than

playing golf.

Before participating in the occupation of the Dunoon municipal sports field in 2018, Yanga Nkohla had been living

in a backyard shack since 2006, first in Khayelitsha before relocating to Dunoon in 2010.

Nkohla said he participated in the land invasion

because he was unable to find steady work and was unable to pay rent for a shack.

Golf clubs under pressure amidst housing crisis FROM PAGE 1

Speaking to Iliso Labantu while building a second storey on his shack, he said renewing the golf clubs’s leases “is bullshit”.

“White people don’t want us close to them.

They say we drink and make noise. They don’t want us near them. That is why they would prioritise golf as opposed to housing for accommodation.”

Notice of the Rondebosch Golf Club lease renewal led to affordable housing movement Reclaim The City obtaining 1 660 objections that were handed to the City prior to the 9 March deadline for public comment, according to researcher Michael Clark at Ndifuna Ukwazi, an affiliated organisation.

A decision on the re-

newal of the lease for the Rondebosch Golf Club has yet to be made, the City has stated in response to questions, and the notice for renewal of the Mowbray golf club lease has been withdrawn as it “was placed prematurely”, stated their email.

The reason given was the application received

by King David Mowbray Golf Club to renew the lease “relates to a significant right to be granted the use and management of an immovable property asset, i.e. potentially being a period of more than three years and involving an asset value of over R10 million”, and thus “will first be placed before Council for authority to advertise”.

The notice for renewal of the Rondebosch Golf Club lease did proceed through council.

When it appeared for

approval by Subcouncil 16, it was passed after a short debate on advocacy for affordable housing, with the reasoning being that a housing development takes up to five years to pass through the various planning processes and tender awards before ground is broken, thus, were any development decision initiated, the two year notice period within the lease could be initiated at the appropriate time.

The City has yet to take a decision on the lease renewal for Rondebosch Golf Club, stating all comments and objections received would be considered and “placed before the delegated authority in the final decision making process”.

The City has since reconsidered the annual tariff for golf course leases. In February, at

the time of the notice for renewal of the Rondebosch Golf Course lease, it was reported as R920 per annum, but in May it was increased by Council to R10 000 per year, excluding VAT. While it is a ten-fold increase, the annual lease amounts remain “incredibly low”, state Ndifuna Ukwazi, adding that it “masks the City’s failure to redistribute public land”.

In the midst of a dire need for housing across the city, which is related to 109 land invasions across the city in the last two months alone, the King David Mowbray and Rondebosch Golf Clubs occupy 94ha (equivalent to 94 rugby fields) of well-located land close to schools, hospitals, light industry, and within easy reach of the city centre.

The golf clubs are also close to transport nodes.

The Metrorail Cape Flats line connecting the city centre to Pinelands, Athlone, Lansdowne and Ottery runs through the middle of the Mowbray golf course.

Calculations publicised

by Ndifuna Ukwazi put the golf clubs’ proposed new rentals at R19.36 per hectare per month, and note this is less than the cost of two litres of milk.

“The City continues to asses City-owned land,” said mayco member for human settlements, Malusi Booi. This includes “suitable land in and near the Cape Town CBD and other urban centres to determine whether some of these properties could be developed for affordable housing opportunities”.

Booi said “all workable options” were being considered “to see how to increase the affordable accommodation stock in

Cape Town or to help enable the provision of more stock in the market”.

He said tackling the challenge, which was not unique to Cape Town, required partnerships.

An updated Human Settlements Strategy that “clearly stipulates the City’s human settlements agenda” would be made public in September for civic engagement.

He said the department has a capital budget of R812m for the 2020/21 financial year and has R1.3 billion worth of projects underway “or in the pipeline in the short and medium-term”.

There are over 300 000 people formally registered on the City’s Housing Needs Register, the informal need is estimated to be significantly higher.

Ibala legalufa luphantsi koxinezelelo lushokoxeko lwezindlu ngethuba ebethethelela ityotyombe lakhe , uthi ukuvunyelwa kwegalufa bubuhiba besingcolo.

“Abantu abamhlophe abasifuni tu ecaleni kwabo. Bathi singamanxila angxolayo. Bakhetha kwa igolofu kunempilontle yethu,” utshilo Inotisi yokuvunyelwa kwe Rondebosch Golf Club kuvuse umnyele

Former Dunoon gangster finds a better way Starts anti gangsterism movement

says, had members ranging in age from 14 to 24.

“We were doing all sorts of things, like robbing, stabbing. We fought people’s battles. People came to hire us,” he says.

Asked what made him quit, he says: “The minute I saw my friend die in front of me. I said no more. This cannot go on.

I left Dunoon and started staying in Parow where I met a pastor who spoke about motivation and he transformed my thinking.”

He says he started attending church services and watching religious television programmes, and believes this had an impact on his transformation.

He now wants to help others get out of gangsterism.

“The other gangsters that I left are also trying

to change but it’s difficult because they’re too deep into it. They can’t hide their pain. They hide their pain by using drugs.

Most of them listen to me when I motivate them to change. They start to be normal people, start looking for work and start taking care of their families,” he says.

But he is facing an uphill battle in his quest to transform gangsters into decent citizens.

He says his movement needs support from sponsors and corporate companies surrounding Dunoon to enable him to reach out to active gang members and establish a proper rehabilitation programme.

“We need funds to help rehabilitate those that are on drugs, help them participate in sports ac-

tivities, any kind of sport, be it rugby, tennis. The young children should also be educated on the dangers of joining gangs before they end up joining them. We need to conduct motivation speeches in schools targeting children before they get hooked into gangsterism,” he says.

Community Leader Beauty Madlomo Ndamane said she was thankful that Kasendwa had quit gangsterism.

Ndamane says she knew one of Kasendwa’s gang member friends, who was a “very deadly man”.

“He used to go around with a very dangerous man. Now that he (Kasendwa) has quit we need to support him. He needs support,” said Ndamane.

A Dunoon gang of teenagers became so notorious its members were hired by individuals for illegal debt collection and by those seeking revenge against their personal or business enemies.

Their price for undertaking a “dirty job” was in the region of R15 000.

But one man had enough of the gangster lifestyle and called it quits after witnessing his fellow gang member dying in front of him.

In 2016, Evaristo Kasendwa, 22, dropped out of Grade 11 at Inkwenkwezi Secondary School due to peer pres-

sure and his involvement in gang activities.

Kasendwa had been an active gang member since 2012 when he was in Grade 7, but after four years looked for a way out of his life of violence.

“Rival gang group members were always waiting outside the school gate to fight. Sometimes we fought for girls, sometimes, say we were at a shebeen drinking, our gang member had a fight with a rival gang member, we would then fight to defend our gang member,” said Kasendwa.

He says the fights never ended. Violence was

Kasi rapper toughs out the hard times ANITA KHAILE

Friends and family discouraged Avela Mzimba from pursuing his ambition to be a hip hop star, but he pressed on with his dream and is now a known rapper in Dunoon and is soon to release a 10-track album.

“They said I was still a young boy with no vision but I never listened to those kinds of people with negative energy trying to kill my spirit,” says Mzimba, who has adopted the stage name Reality.

The 24-year-old musician who raps in a mixture of Xhosa and English was born and raised in Dunoon’s Site 5 informal settlement and started his music journey at the age of 15 when he released his first song, ‘Kasi Liyakhula’ with Boom Squared.

He says the song was loved by many people in ‘kasi and at the time he was known as “AV”, a shortened version of his name, Avela.

He has had to endure some hard times. After his mother died in 2014, he and his siblings had to move to Mthatha in the Eastern Cape to live with his father, who was unemployed.

He was studying Grade 11 at the time and because they lived in a rural village outside the town, he had a 30-minute walk to school everyday, where there was no proper educational facilities.

“I remember having to write grade 11 June exams, we could not write those exams in time. We wrote them two weeks later than scheduled. It was really bad and many of my peers had to repeat the grade.”

He said he dropped out of school in 2016 and returned to Cape Town to search for work, and eventually got a job as a cleaner which enables him to support himself and pay for a recording studio to record his music.

“Music makes me happy it make me feel free, it’s my therapy during tough times.”

His rhymes are popular in Dunoon streets but he changed his name from AV the Rapper to Reality because too many ‘kasi rappers were using the same stage name.

“I came up with a unique stage name for myself, ‘Reality’, which simply means the state of things as they exist.”

He says his music comes from the heart and he writes about the things young people experience in order to encourage them to push through to better days.

“The kind of songs I write speak to the youth of today… it talks to young people facing life challenges. Although he is not making any income from his music, he hopes to do so in the near future as he believes he is a shining star and has won many street battles at the

Dunoon community park.

He has also performed his song ‘Nyan Nyan’ at an event in Strandfontein which was filmed by Cape

Town TV in 2017.

Reality will be releasing a 10-track album called DREAMS in November. The album is

being produced by Trigger Ball from Malawi and will be available on digital platforms, including Reality’s Facebook page.

Ugimba wase Dunoon utshintshe ibatha Umgewu obenguncanyelweni wase Dunoon utshitnshe ikhondo lakhe emva kokubona isihlobozo sisifa phambi kwakhe.

Logimba ubeyinxalenye yemigulukuthu eqeshwa ngoomatshonisa ukuba ihambe ikhangela abo babatyalayo oknaye ifumane imali ngokuthi igade iivenkile namashishiini. Bebeye bafumanane malunga ne R15 000 ngalomsebenzi.

Kodwa lomfana udikwe yeyokosa asakubukela umhlobo wakhe ehlaselwa esifa lelinye iqeal lemigewu.

Ngo 2016, u-Evaristo Kasendwa, eminyaka ingama 22, d wayeka isikolo ekwibanga uGrade 11 e- Inkwenkwezi Secondary School ngenxa yokuphulaphula oontangandini bemrhwebeshela ebugewini.

UKasendwa ubengumgulukuthu ophezulu ukusuka ngowe 2012 esenza ibanga lesihlanu ngoko kodwa ngoku uthi udikwe yeyokosa.

“Amaqela esilwa nawo asoloko esizingela ngaphaya kwamasango esikolo. Siphila ubomi bentaka. Maxa wambi besisilwa ngenxa yamantombi ingakumbi xa

sifike esloti esela nabelinye iqela,” uchaza atsho uKasendwa.

Uthi lomilo ibayibi yinto engumsinandozela udunkanka wento de kube kukho oswelekayo oknaye bonele yimpindezelo.

Ngoku u Kasendwa uqalise iDunoon Against Gangsterism ngethemba lokuba uzakubonisa oontanga indlela eya kubomi obungcono ukuze babuyele esikolweni baphucule ubomi babo. Iphecana lakhe ku Facebook linabalandeli abangama 416. nto leyo enika ithemba lokuba umyalezo wakhe uya entliziyweni kalova.

Uthi ngethuba esaphila okwenjubaqa bekukho malunga neshumi elinanye lamaqela emiguvela esebenza ibangisana nge Dunoon.

Uthi iqela ngalinye linamalungu asuka ku 12 eminyakaa ukuya kuthi ga ngo 24.

Ebuzwa ukuba uyekiswe yinto .

“Ndithe ndakubona umhlobo wam esifa phambi kwam ndaqonda ukuba neyam imini isondele ukuba andijiki kwikhondo lam. Ndemka e Dunoon ndaya eParow apho ndihlanagane nomthanjiswa wabujika

ubomi bam.”

Uthi waqalisa ukubamba inkonzo ekwabukela neenkqubo zalapho kwividiyo waze wajikia ekhondweni okoSawule ebethwa ngumbane eDamasko.

Ngoku ufuna ulutsha lupheme kulempilo yobugewu..

“Abanye endabashiya ngemva bayauna ukutshintsha kodwa kunzima kuba akuphumeki lula.

Kona bava kabuhlungu kodwa ngexna yeziyobisi abazi sebenzisayo. Bayandiphulaphula abanye baze batshintshe ubomi babo,” utsho.

Kodwa ujongene nomnqantsa wokubatshintsha bonke.

Uthi lentshukumo yakhe idinga inxaso kurhulumente nakoongxowankulu ukuze ikwazi ukufezekisa iinjongo zayo.

Inkokheli yokuhlala uBeauty Madlomo Ndamane uth i uvuya kakhulu linyathelo lika Kasendwa lokuyeka ubugwinta.

UNdamane uthi umazi kudala uKasendwa kwaye wayehlobene nesicatshukelwa sombulali.

“Wayehamba noyena gimba kodwa utshintshile ngoku ufuna inxaso yethu sonke ,” uqukumbela atsho uNdamane.

USodolophu uDan Plato Bahlali ababekekileyo ISixeko saseKapa siyabulela kubahlali ngokuxela abo bazama ukuhlala kwimihlaba ngokungekho mthethweni nangokusebenzisana kunye nathi ukugcina imigaqo yomthetho kwisixeko sethu.

Ukungena kwimihlaba ngokungekho-mthethweni okuqhubeka kwimihlaba ebekelwe bucala kukusingela phantsi abantu abathobela umthetho nabalinde ngomonde iminyaka emininzi kuluhlu lwabo balinde izindlu zabo ezenziwe ngezitena nodaka.

ISixeko senza konke esinako ukunqada into ebonakala njengephenjelelwa zezopolitiko yokungena ngokungekho-mthethweni kwiipropati zethu.

Silungise zonke izibonelelo ezikhoyo zonyanzeliso-mthetho ukulungiselela ukunqanda ukungena kwimihlaba ngokungekho-mthethweni kwimetro jikelele.

NjengoSodolophu, ndidibene noMkomishinala weSizwe waMapolisa ndacela ukuba asincedise ngenkxaso yaMapolisa abamba uCwangco ekuHlaleni.

Kananjalo ndibhalele uMongameli ndicela impendulo ekhawulezileyo yamanqanaba amathathu karhulumente okunqanda intlekele yesizwe yokungena ngokungekhomthethweni kwimihlaba.

Sibongoza amaqela ezopolitiko, imibutho yamatsha-ntliziyo kunye neenkokheli zasekuhlaleni ukuba bathathele ingqalelo le meko kwaye bayeke ukuphembelela okanye ukukhuthaza ukungena kwimihlaba ngokungekho-mthethweni besenzela inzuzo yexeshana nanjengoko kunganefuthe elimandla kwixesha elizayo.

Kucacile ukuba ukungena kwimihlaba ngokungekho-mthethweni okuqhubekayo kuququzelelwe kwaye kwacwangciswa kakuhle, ngokokude kubekho iinzame ezininzi ezahlukeneyo zokungena kwimihlaba ngokusuku olunye eKapa kwiveki ephelileyo.

Sifumana iingxelo jikelele ezimalunga “neshack farming”, ukuthengiswa ngokungekhomthethweni kweeploti kumhlaba karhulumente nge-R1 000 nangaphezulu ngexesha.

Amagosa ethu asixelela ukuba kuthuthwa izakheko esele zakhiwe kwaye zothulwe ngqo kumhlaba lowo, kwaye siyibonile imifanekiso yamaqela abantu amaninzi ebaleka engamakhulu-khulu, kubandakanya nolutsha oluninzi.

Asikwazi ukulunyamezela ulwaphulo-mthetho olu kwelizinga kwiindawo zethu zokuhlala.

ISixeko siyazi malunga nezityholo zokuba abanini-mhlaba bagxotha ngokungekhomthethweni abanxusi. Oku makuxelwe kwabasemagunyeni.

Ngelishwa, akukho meko yamkelekileyo yokuhlala ngokungekho-mthethweni kwimihlaba, nokuba yintoni na ingxaki.

Iziphumo zasekuhlaleni zokuhlala kule mihlaba ngokungekho-mthethweni ziyaphazamisa kakhulu ukuba esi senzo singekho-mthethweni masamkeleke.

SisiSixeko esikhulayo, kwaye siyanyanzeleka ngenxa yesizukulwana esizayo ukuba siwukhusele umhlaba obekelwe unikezelo lweenkonzo, izikolo, izindlu kunye nezakhiwo zoluntu.

Iindleko zokungena kwimihlaba ngokungekho-mthethweni ziphezulu kakhulu. Ukwenza nje imizekelo engephi: • • • • • •

Ulibaziseko kwiiprojekthi ezibalulekileyo zezindlu nezeenkonzo ezingundoqo ngenxa yokungena kule mihlaba ngokungekho-mthethweni Ukuzama ukudlula kuluhlu lwabantu abalinde izindlu okanye ukuhlala ngokungekhomthethweni kwizindlu ezakhiweyo ezintsha ngaphambi kwabemi ekudala belindile nabafanele ukufumana izindlu Ungcoliseko lweenkqubo zamanzi ngenxa yokwanda kwezindlu okungalawulekiyo Ukulahlekelwa lutyalo-mali nezoqoqosho ngenxa yokungena ngokungekhomthethweni kwiipropati zabucala Ukungena kwimihlaba yabucala engenakulungiswa siSixeko Ukungena kwimihlaba enobungozi ukuba kungahlalwa kuyo ngabantu ngenxa yokhukhuliseko, indlela zokungena nokungazinzi kwezakhiwo

Amawaka-waka abemi athobela umthetho ayachatshazelwa lifuthe elimandla lokungena kwimihlaba ngokungekho-mthethweni ngenxa yezenzo ezigwenxa zeqela elincinane labantu abahlala kwimihlaba ngokungekho-mthethweni.

Siyaqinisekisa ukuba iSixeko sakho siza kuqhubeka sikumela.

Kwamkelekile ukusihlebela ngezenzo ezingekhomthethweni ungakhange uchaze igama lakho: Uluntu lungasixelela lungakhange luchaze amagama abo ngezenzo ezingekhomthethweni ezenzekayo okanye ezizakwenzeka.

Nceda utsalele u-112 kwiselula (yinombolo yasimahla) okanye 107 kwinombolo yomnxeba okanye 021 480 7700 ngeengxaki ezikhawulezileyo.

Hlamba izandla zakho. Gcina umgama ofanelekileyo ongokuqelelana.

Yi-1,3 yeebhiliyoni kwiiprojekthi zezindlu esesichengeni ngenxa yokuhlala ngokungekho-mthethweni kwimihlaba Iiprojekthi zezindlu ezixabisa ngaphezulu kwe-R1,3 yeebhiliyoni zisesichengeni sokuchatshazelwa kukuhlala ngokungekho-mthethweni kwimihlaba. Kubalulekile ukuba uluntu kunye nabasemagunyeni kunyanzeliso-mthetho basebenzisane ukuthithela oku.

KweyeKhala 2020, kummandla waseBloekomsbos eKraaifontein kuphela, iSixeko sisuse iiphegi zokusika iziza ezingama-21 500 nezakhiwo ekungahlalwa kuzo ezingama-4500 ezilungiselelwe ukuhlala ngokungekho-mthethweni.

Iinzame zokungena ngenkani kwiiprojekthi zezindlu kuyaqhubeka eWallacedene, Bloekombos, Delft, Mitchells Plain, Dunoon, Milnerton, Vrygrond/Capricorn, Khayelitsha, Mfuleni naseHout Bay. Siyabulela ngokungazenzisiyo kubo bonke ababandakanyekayo ekuthinteleni ukungena ngokungekho-mthethweni kule mihlaba, kuquka neNkonzo yaMapolisa oMzantsi Afrika, ngoncedo lwayo ekususeni izakhiwo ekuhlalwa kuzo nangokukhusela abaxhamli abathobela umthetho bezi projekthi zezindlu noluntu ngokubanzi.

Ukuze kuqhutyekwe ngokwakhelwa izindlu abo bangathathi-ntweni kunye nokongeza ukufikelela koluntu kwiinkonzo, kubalulekile ukuba umhlaba siwukhusele kungangenwa kuwo ngokungekho-mthethweni.

Level 2 might inject life back into amateur football

DAVID ROSSOUW

With the introduction of lockdown level 2, amateur football might just receive the green light from SAFA and the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture.

On 20 August SAFA submitted an application to the Minister of Sport to lift the suspension on amateur football, requesting a restart of provincial and regional competitions such as the ABC Motsepe, SAB and SASOL promotional leagues. It will be interesting to hear what

the conditions will be should the minister give the go-ahead, as amateur football will not be able to provide adequate precautions due to the financial burden resting on the shoulders of club owners and the local football leagues who generate most of their income from registrations and gate fees paid by spectators.

Players and teams’ management staff will be regularly screen and tested according to Covid-19 regulations but without spectator support it will not be possible to play fixtures unless SAFA and the

government contribute to the leagues.

According to thee Dunoon facility manager, Mzingisi Vutula, all facilities are in good condition and will be ready should activities start in October.

Field maintenance is continuing, with sports fields being cut twice a month.

“A few community halls and centre’s are also available for indoor training but sports clubs should make contact with the hub managers”, said Vutula.

City mayco member for community ser-

vices and health, Zahid Badroodien, said playing surfaces at City of Cape Town sports fields have recovered significantly and are ready for athletes once regulations allow.

Lack of activity on the fields, couples with winter rains and cool temperatures over the last few months have resulted in significantly improved playing surfaces.

“It has proven that limiting the usage of fields to allow the grass some much needed recovery time, results in a better quality playing surface,” said Badroodien.

He said the City’s Department of Parks and Recreation is taking advantage of the opportunity to reinstate lawns where possible, and rehabilitation efforts have been focused on facilities that have alternative water supply systems such as boreholes and treated effluent.

But he said there were ongoing challenges to maintaining sports fields.

These included theft, vandalism, and illegal use.

These actions set delayed the recovery of fields and could even spell a delay to reopening once

regulations allow.

“We encourage our sporting fraternity to be patient and our residents to report any suspicious activity at facilities,” said Badroodien.

“The Department will continue to encourage the use of the triage scoring system by all users and request the support of users in adhering to allotted usage times per facility once the facilities are allowed to reopen. This system will assist the City to provide properly maintained playing surfaces to support scheduled sport matches.”

Engines rev as Killarney restarts SPORTS REPORTER

Motor racing has returned to Killarney race track after six months of lockdown as the Short Circuit categories led the tightly fought contests on Saturday 22 August.

With no fewer than 20 entries, the CBR150 riders provided action and excitement in all three of their races.

Main Circuit and national star Kewyn Snyman had an up-and-down day, leading the Senior Class in the first and third races, but dropping out of

Race 2 to finish third for the day.

Braddon Hutchings finished second in Race 1, won Race 2 and came home fifth in Race 3, which was just enough to give him first overall for the day on a countback from Jason Linaker, who was third in Race 1 and second in Races 2 and 3.

David Lindemann pulled off a classy win in the Junior Class of the first CBR150 race, ahead of arch-rival Slade van Niekerk and a hardcharging Connor Hagan.

Van Niekerk took revenge, however, with two fine wins in the remaining

races. Lindemann finished second in Races 2 and 3 to take second overall for the day, with Nicholas Hutchings placing third in Race 2, and Hagan third in Race 3.

In the Super Singles races, Mark Roos took Race 1 from Wesley Blake and veteran Mitch Robinson, only to have Blake snatch the remaining two race wins and take class honours for the day ahead of Roos, who posted a win and a fifth in Races 2 and 3, and Robinson, whose tally comprised a third and two fourths.

Gareth Gehlig made no mistakes in the Supermo-

tard Races, winning all three races from Regan Mitchell and Emile van der Merwe, which decided the class honours for the day in that order.

There were only three entries for the Mini Moto pocket bikes, but they provided plenty of excitement as Riley Coleman scooted to three wins. Aaron Lindemann was second in the first and third races but had a mishap in Race 2, handing the spot to Christopher Bosson.

Darren Liebenberg, meanwhile, took all three Formula M races ahead of Fuaat Gamiet.
