Man detained after ‘riotous’ incident at shop Somerset West police arrested a man at a clothing store in Sir Lowry’s Pass for riotous behaviour on Wednesday 11 March. According to a security officer, a security company responded after the alarm at the clothing shop was activated. The man, who was found fighting with the shop owner outside the shop, was detained and handed over to the police. Sergeant Suzan Jantjies, spokesperson for the Somerset West police says the man was arrested at about 16:30. But, Jantjies says, the man was released at about 20:00 on the same day. “No further investigation was required in this case,” Jantjies concludes.

Riaan Baron (22) en André Williams (27) van Sir Lowry’s Pass is onlangs ’n gesamentlike tronkstraf van 20 jaar in die Somerset-Weslanddroshof opgelê. Die saak hou verband met ’n huisroof by die Tredonne-landgoed op 11 Desember 2013. Volgens sers. Suzan Jantjies, woordvoerder vir die Somerset-Wes-polisie, het die mans by ’n huis op die landgoed ingebreek en die huiseienaar met sy eie vuurwapen gedreig. Hulle het ’n skootrekenaar, beursie en iPhone gesteel voor hulle op die vlug geslaan het met die eienaar se vuurwapen. Jantjies sê die mans is kort ná die voorval in hegtenis geneem en die gesteelde goedere is teruggevind. Williams is 15 jaar tronkstraf opgelê waarvan drie jaar opgeskort is vir huisbraak, huisroof, diefstal en die onwettige besit van ammunisie en die onwettige besit van ’n vuurwapen. Baron is skuldig bevind aan huisbraak en diefstal en is tot 10 jaar tronkstraf gevonnis waarvan twee jaar opgeskort is. Stasiebevelvoerder, kol. Mary-Anne Williams, het speur-adjudant-offisier Deon Klaasen, die ondersoekbeampte, vir sy uitstaande speurwerk wat tot die suksesvolle vervolging van die verdagtes gelei het, geprys.

Dylan Pietersen van Macassar is Maandag in die Somerset-Wes landdroshof skuldig bevind aan strafbare manslag. Die saak spruit uit die dood van sy vriendin Zelbia Rossi (20) in ’n motorongeluk in Macassar op 30 Maart 2011. Die ongeluk het omstreeks 23:45 op die hoek van Musicalaan en Sohstraat gebeur, toe die motor waarin hy en Rossi gery het teen ’n grensmuur gebots het. Die motor het op sy sy te lande gekom en Rossi is halfpad uit die kar geslinger. Sy is op die toneel dood verklaar. Rossi, ’n derdejaar-onder-

wysstudent aan die Cape Peninsula University of Technology, sou in die tweede kwartaal haar proeftydperk by die Laerskool De Hoop begin het. Sy was ook ’n vrywillige paramedikus by nooddienste en ’n noodhulpwerker vir die Macassar-rugbyklub. Rossi het ’n groot liefde vir skoenlappers gehad. Haar skoenlapper-ring en -horlosie, wat sy ten tye van die ongeluk gedra het, sowel as Pietersen se skootrekenaar en selfoon, is op die ongelukstoneel gesteel. ’n Verslag van ’n korrektiewe beampte is aangevra vir 10 April, wanneer Pietersen se vonnisoplegging sal plaasvind.

Zelbia Rossi (20) het op 30 Maart 2011 in ’n motorongeluk in Macassar gesterf.

Daar is toegeslaan Pietersen is na bewering agt skote toegedien op huise in Sun City, Rastakamp, Riemvas-

Brand het beloof dat misdaadbekampingsoperasies sal voortduur. Op inwoners se vraag oor die moontlikheid van ’n volwaardige polisiestasie wat die huidige satellietstasie vervang, het hy gesê ’n tekort aan hulpbronne verhoed dit, en beter samewerking tussen die gemeenskap en polisie kan ’n afname in misdaad teweeg bring. In die afgelope weke is polisiebeamptes verskeie kere aangeval tydens misdaadbekampingsoperasies en vyf polisievoertuie is in hierdie voorvalle beskadig. Dan Plato, die Wes-Kaapse minister vir gemeenskapsveiligheid, beplan ’n besoek aan die dorp om misdaad aan te spreek. Hy is van mening gemeenskappe word deur dwelms “opgevreet” en die vrylike beskikbaarheid en konstante invloei van dwelms na die WesKaap is ’n groot probleem. “Die polisie moet dwelmhuise en smokkelhuise toemaak,” sê hy. Volgens Plato is die polisie en die regstelsel nie by magte om die dwelmprobleem te hanteer nie. Plato sê dit is algemene kennis waar dwelmhuise in gemeenskappe is en dat dwelmhandelaars nie altyd dwelms op hul persele hou nie, maar wel van ander huise gebruik maak om dit te versteek. “Almal weet waar die dwelmhuise is en ook dat dwelmhandelaars nie die dwelms op hulle persele hou nie, maar by ander huise, waar runners dit kry,” sê hy. Hy is van mening meer geteikende intelligensie-gedrewe operasies moet plaasvind om die dwelmhandel te infiltreer. Hy sê dringende aandag moet ook aan die regstelsel gegee word wat borgtog aan handelaars toestaan.

PROPOSED OFF-LEASH AREAS READY FOR COMMENT IN APRIL

Dogs could run free in some parks DALEEN FOUCHÉ New off-leash dog walking areas in the Helderberg are being considered by the City of Cape Town. Ward 84 councillor Stuart Pringle says there are currently no offleash dog walking areas in the Helderberg, except the two offleash beach areas in Strand and Gordon’s Bay. On Strand Beach, the off-leash area is from Caymen Beach up to Greenways, and from Greenways up to the swimming pool. In Gordon’s Bay, the off-leash area stretches from Harbour Island up to the Hendon Park border. According to Johan Middleton, councillor for Gordon’s Bay, this is a very appropriate offleash dog walking area because it has the added bonus of dogs pro-

viding activity and security in an area that could potentially attract criminals. Pringle says City officials are currently working on a proposal for new off-leash sites. In ward 84, one of the proposals includes a part of the river frontage of Radloff Park. Another proposed park is Struben Park in Struben Street. Pringle says this park is already fenced in, which makes it a good candidate for an off-leash dog walking area. In ward 15, Neil Aggett Park is a possibility, according to Councillor Benedicta van Minnen. Another possibility is the big park in Irene Avenue. Van Minnen says this park will be fenced and, once this is done, the park could be a potential offleash dog walking area. No new areas are currently be-

ing considered for Strand and Gordon’s Bay. According to Pringle the proposed new off-leash areas will be published for a public participation process next month. Residents will then be able to give their input and propose more or different off-leash areas. Pringle says this initiative is an attempt to let the community use and occupy the public spaces to make them safer and easier to manage. A good example of this is the mountain bike track at Southeys Vines, Pringle says.The City is also looking at helping the community with food gardens in Garden Village and at the park on the corner of New and Drama streets. Pringle invites the community to come forward with new ways to use public spaces in creative and innovative ways.

Two robbers will spend the next 15 years behind bars after they were found guilty of business robbery and sentenced in the Somerset West Magistrate’s Court last week. Tulani Limani (33) and Siyabonga Mgontshawa (34) were found guilty of robbing Markham in Somerset West on 26 September 2012. According to a provincial police statement, five armed men entered the store at 09:45, threatened staff and demanded the keys to the safe. “Inside the safe, the robbers took cellphones, cash and vouchers. They fled the scene in a white Toyota Conquest on the N2, in the direction of Khayelitsha,” says provincial police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk. “During investigation, Detective Warrant Officer James Robertson positively linked two of the five men to the business robbery. A third suspect could not be linked and the case against him was withdrawn.” Somerset West Police’s station commander, Colonel Mary-Ann Williams, praised the police officer for his excellent investigation, which eventually led to the successful conviction of the guilty men.

Hell Run: meeting postponed

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

Last week’s policing meeting at which the dangerous N2 Hell Run was to have been discussed was postponed to 9 April.

MINIBUS COLLISION: Ten passengers, including the driver of a minibus taxi and the driver of a Honda Ballade, were injured in a collision on the R102 on Tuesday. According to provincial traffic officials, the minibus was travelling from Firgrove and had turned towards the R44 when it collided with the Honda just before 09:00. The passengers were taken to hospitals in the area.

The meeting, on Thursday 12 March, was a monthly meeting between the police, Traffic Services and the Metro Police. It was to discuss crime on the Cape Metro’s main routes, especially the N2, R300 and Baden Powell, where numerous attacks on motorists have occurred. On 7 January, Macassar resident Julius Jantjies sustained serious head injuries after a cement block was hurled through the windscreen of the car he was driving. He and a colleague were on their way to Sea Point at about midday when a man on the side of the road threw the block at the car, just before the R300 off-ramp. Jantjies was in an induced coma for a week, after which he had to undergo several reconstructive operations to his face. His dad, Julius Sr, says he’s grateful that his son is alive. Julius, however, lost sight in his right eye and will have to undergo additional reconstructive surgery on his skull in October this year. Julius sr is elated that his son will be able to celebrate his 28th birthday with his family at home this Friday, when he visits for the weekend. Jantjies says his son has recovered remarkably and will be discharged from hospital on 27 March. Shaun Veldsman, well-known rugby referee, has also recovered from his ordeal on the Hell Run. Veldsman was stabbed at the N2/BadenPowell off-ramp at 21:00 on 21 February after officiating at a Vodacom Super Rugby match at Newlands. He told DistrictMail this week that he is in good health, and that he had started wor-

He added that he was appreciative of the support he had received from the community. JP Smith, Mayoral Committee member for Safety and Security, says plans are on the cards to train 24 neighbourhood watch members as law enforcement reservists. Smith, however, says that the three-month reservist training programme, including a firearm and uniforms, amounts to R30 000 per person. Smith says he has approached a few stakeholders of the N2 for funding, and is positive that funding will be received soon.

Problem taxis ‘not unique to Somerset West ‘ – City DALEEN FOUCHÉ The Somerset West Main Road is becoming increasingly dangerous because of taxis stopping on the red line. This is according to Wesley Kinnear, a Somerset West resident who drives down the Main Road between The Lord Charles Hotel and the Somerset West CBD on a daily basis. Kinnear says taxis stop on the red line to pick up and drop off

passengers and block the road at certain points. “Taxis also turn back into the road without paying attention to cars coming up from behind.” According to Kinnear, the two most prominent places where he has seen this happen is across the BP petrol station and at the Old Stellenbosch Road intersection. He says this is also a problem across the Somerset West Town Hall. Kinnear, who has approached the City of Cape Town’s traffic de-

partment several times, says he is at his wits’ end with traffic officers who do not seem to act against traffic offenders, especially taxis on the Main Road. “I have never seen a taxi being pulled over for stopping on a red line.” The DistrictMail sent several questions to the City of Cape Town regarding this situation. Maxine Jordaan, spokesperson for Traf-

fic Services, says “unfortunately, taxis stopping and ranking illegally is a problem all over the city”. “Cape Town Traffic Services

CRIME DISCUSSED: A police imbizo was held in Sir Lowry’s Pass on Monday this week to address crime in the area. The imbizo, steered by the head of the Khayelitsha Cluster, Major General Johan Brand, was held in response to the crime wave in the area in recent weeks, which claimed five lives.

Still no school for Grade 1 learner DELIAH BRINKHUIS The end of the first school term is looming, and Nahum Titus, a Grade 1 learner, has still to find a school. Melody Titus, Nahum’s mom, turned to the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) after not being able to secure a place for her son at two Strand schools. She, however, says she has been sent from pillar to post since the start of the school year and has so far been unsuccessful in finding a school for her seven-year-old son. The single mom from Strand applied to Hendrik Louw and Loreto Primary Schools at the beginning of the year, after a sudden change in her financial situation forced her to find

an alternative school to Somerstrand College, a private school, where he had attended Grade R last year Hendrik Louw is within walking distance of their flat in the Strand CBD. Titus was turned away as the school had already had its full intake of Grade 1s for the year. She then turned to Loreto Primary, where she received the same answer. Since then Titus has spent her days communicating with officials at the WCED’s Kuilsriver offices, but has yet to find a school where her son can start his school career. “Nahum hasn’t experienced the excitement of his first school day,” she says. Being a working mom, she has been forced to leave him with friends during the day. Titus is worried that her son, who she says

is a bright youngster, will lag behind if he is not accommodated at a school this year. “I am becoming despondent and it is so important that Nahum gets into a school soon,” she says. Jessica Shelver, spokesperson for the WCED, had not responded to an enquiry on Nahum’s situation by the time the newspaper went to print. Several queries sent to Shelver and WCED spokesperson Paddy Attwell on the outcome of the department’s annual snap survey to address overcrowding at schools have remained unanswered since 5 February. In January this year, DistrictMail reported that most primary schools were unable to accommodate all their Grade 1 applications, resulting in a number of learners being placed on waiting lists. Macassar Primary was at the top, with 116 Grade 1s who could not be accommodated; Dr GJ Joubert - 70; Nomzamo Primary - 53; Hendrik Louw - 50; Christmas Tinto - 40; Gordon’s Bay - 35 and Beaumont - 32. This week Shelver confirmed that the department requested mobile classrooms for schools to accommodate learners, but was unable to confirm how many Grade 1s still had to be placed. “Grade 1s will be accommodated where we can find place. While this process awaits approval, we asked principals to place learners and make space available.” Shelver said the WCED increased teaching posts by 676 last year. “Some of these [posts] are saved for situations such as this,” she said. She added that

Melody Titus has been fighting to get her son Nahum accepted into Grade 1 since the start of the school year. sites for possible new schools have been identified in Gordon’s Bay, Strand, Sir Lowry’s Pass and Macassar.

Mail Parents must look after their children The plague of senseless killings and violence currently affecting teenagers in the Helderberg and other Western Cape suburbs is a serious cause for concern. There have been too many incidents of teenagers killed in Macassar, Sir Lowry’s Pass and Kuils River reported about in the media and the violence among young people appears to be on the increase. The youth seem to be running free and wild, and are doing just what they want. It seems that in too many instances parental care and guidance or even knowledge of where their children are, what they are doing and who their friends are, is sadly lacking. It’s high time parents who don’t know where their teenagers are, opened their eyes and started taking responsibility for their children and taking care of them. Teens who become entangled in a violent lifestyle grow old quickly – way beyond their actual years – and start to distance themselves from the parents, family and friends. The police and teachers cannot be held responsible for the behaviour of other people’s children – this task falls squarely on the parents.

Keep your dogs away from our ducks Hopefully the man who walked his dogs near the Dianthus Dam, where the wild ducks live, on the afternoon of Sunday 8 March will be reading this letter. One of his dogs, a Husky cross-breed, took off after three little ducks. One of the ducklings had hurt a leg and was looked after by residents in Seascape Mews, until he could be reunited with his family. Another duck was killed by the dog. Our Monday was rather a sad day. Hopefully people reading this, would consider nature and put their dogs on leashes when passing the dam. Surely we should all know our dogs and their habits?

MAGGIE TIMONEY E-MAIL

Abandoned by the system This is the true story of a person and family of colour who should have prospered with the advent of South Africa’s new democracy in 1994, but have instead been abandoned by the system. Peter, a waiter, had progressed to manager and worked at wellknown hotels such as the Mount Nelson and Van Riebeeck in Gordon’s Bay. His wife, Megan, has a diploma in catering and a long-service record with a clothing firm in the Somerset Mall. Then disaster struck: He lost a leg through diabetes and because he had to be on his feet all day, he lost his job too. After having lived in a house at Wesley Street for about nine years and faithfully paying his rent (for the two-roomed flat for his family of five), his wife lost her job as well. Their three very promising children, today 18, 16 and 14, then had to walk to Rusthof High School, a 15km walk in rain and sunshine, branded with the stigma of parents not being able to pay school fees. It then also became a battle between Peter and the school principal to get the academic records of his children. Peter’s treatment at the Strand, Gustrouw, and Eerste River clinics and hospital was appalling, despite some outstanding individual staff members. This worsened his diabetes so

much that today he is blind in one eye, while the other receives irregular treatment at an eye clinic. His other leg is also deteriorating and may be of little use in the future. With no money for taxi fares Peter has had to hobble on crutches from Strand to Gustrouw for his treatment or medicine or for his Sassa grant. Meanwhile Megan got some temporary work in the Strand or at Somerset West Mall. She now works as a temp at a well-known national chain store in the Mall, starting at 03:00, Sundays included, when she works until 22:00, for R2 000 a month. Two years ago the building in which they lived was sold and the new owner threatened to eject Peter for non-payment of rent. A lengthy court battle resulted and with the help of the University of Stellenbosch’s legal services it ended in an agreement to pay the backlog and rent. During this time other residents were evicted, which resulted in Peter’s water supply being cut off in August 2013. All other residents have since gone, resulting in regular illegal entries and copper and all other available fittings being stolen. Imagine lying awake at night as a disabled person having to protect your family and trying to be the watchman for this building? Their situation is desperate,

but the government, which professes to take special care of disabled people, women and children, has turned a deaf ear to Peter’s plight. He hobbles to both political parties’ offices with no result. Sassa hassles him by stopping his meagre allowance for a month or two, to check up, or reprocess, his claim to receive the allowance, with the result that he did not received the allowance this December. My title for this article is, “Abandoned by the system”. Their survival would not have been possible without Good Samaritans chipping in; without it, the Daniels would have been on the streets months ago. The “system” is in the first place national, provincial and local government and businesses, exploiting staff by taking them on as temporary workers at low salaries; entrepreneurs such as shops allowing them to pile up debt; landlords doing terrible things; even people walking by, thinking it is Peter’s own fault, and not reaching out to help. People of the Strand, yes, people of Helderberg – the system includes you! We are all guilty of being selfish, of looking the other way, of abandoning our fellow human beings. Yes, we are all part of the system: Shame on us!

Helderberg Animal Hospital vets went beyond the call of duty It was with great sadness that my husband and I had to say goodbye to three of our elderly pets within a matter of weeks. We wish to thank Helderberg Animal Hospital and its staff for their constant love, care, compassion and patience in this difficult period. Thank you for all the advice and phone calls, as well as always hav-

ing time for us and ensuring our animals’ health and best interest take priority. Dr Peter Humphreys and Dr Keith Viljoen are truly a veterinarian team that goes above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you to Pat Krige, Bianca Pipe, Riette de Villiers, Mariana Wilson and all staff not mentioned,

that you are always on hand to help – whether it be with a kind word or just being there for support. We wish you all the very best in the new changes at the practice. Thank you, Dr Humphreys and Dr Viljoen. You are the best of the best.

Sê jou sê ) Wat gaan aan met mense wat veghonde so van kant wil maak? Maak eerder moordenaars en verkragters van kant! Honde is onvoorspelbaar, maar kinders ook. Kom reg! ) I have only recently had a chance to read the DistrictMail of 19 and 26 February. I was disgusted to read about the antics of David Dyarithi, the socalled disabled beggar. I am a paraplegic, but cannot condone what he and other beggars – disabled or not – do at busy traffic intersections. David gives honest, disabled folk a bad name. There must surely be a better way of earning a living for him and his family? Keith Lindeboom, Strand ) How on earth can organisers claim that the recent Retirement Expo was a big success? My view is that attending was not worth the petrol to get there, let alone the R50 entrance fee. ) Graag wil ek almal bedank wat Saterdag 7 Maart my seun gehelp het by Olé koffiewinkel in Somerset Mall.

Algemeen General

Market is a must-visit Lifestyle website The Inside Guide has named the Lourensford Harvest Market one of the must-visit markets in the Cape. It is one of 19 markets across the peninsula to receive this mention. “Set on one of the most renowned and picturesque wine estates in the country, this market has over 70 vendors selling a vast array of fresh produce, art and crafts. Its layout is one of the nicest around – with food, craft and fashion stalls arranged in a horseshoe shape around a big patch of lawn – where toddlers and friendly pooches can frolic freely,” the website states. It also highlights some of the market’s stalls, such as the Eden All Natural Peanut Butter stall; Kiewiet’s unique handcrafted wooden products; and Dr Juice’s delicious and healthy fruit and vegetable juices, as reasons to visit the market. The Lourensford Harvest Market is held every Sunday from 10:00 until 15:00. For more information on the market, phone 079 496 8335 or email hello@lfhm.co.za.

HAPPY HOUR SHOPPING: William Zerf entered the DistrictMail Happy Hour competition at the Somerset West Shoprite. His shopping exceeded the total of R100, which meant he received a free DistrictMail and could enter the competition to stand a chance to win some great prizes. The competition runs early on the mornings of Friday 20 and Friday 27 March at Shoprite Somerset West and Strand.

POTJIE-PLESIER: Op Saterdag 28 Februarie het ACVV Huis Jan Swart hul jaarlikse potjiekoskompetisie gehou. Dit was ‘n baie geslaagde geldinsamelingsprojek danksy al die potmakers en ondersteuners vanuit die publiek. Marius Dippenaar het weer die musiek verskaf en een van Huis Jan Swart se inwoners, Jannie Nel (93), het ‘n mondfluitjie-vertoning gehou. Die wenner van die kompetisie was Jacqueline Roeloffs (foto) met ’n skaapkerriepot, tweede plek het gegaan aan die span van Feedem (Voedseldiensverskaffer van Huis Jan Swart) met ’n Indiese lamskerriepot en Hennie Langenhoven het derde plek verower met sy waterblommetjiepot. Die beoordelaars, Kobus en Suzette Rossouw, Jackie Dippenaar en raadslid Dave Venter het ’n moeilike taak gehad, aangesien “al die potte heerlik was.”

Sake Business

19 March, 2015

COLUMN

Understanding investment risks This week all investors’ eyes and ears will be focused on Janet Yellen, Governor of the US Federal Reserve, when she announces the decision on whether to raise US interest rates in June.

Sage award for IT company A Somerset West-based software reseller and IT support company, Preferred Solutions, has achieved an exceptional status. Sage Pastel has three main divisions – Pastel Partner, Pastel Payroll and Sage Evolution. Each year Sage Pastel gives awards to the top value-added resellers that support their products in each of these divisions. These awards are based on top sales, outstanding service and professional skills. Preferred Solutions was awarded the prestigious Top Value-added Reseller award in the Western From left are Johan Marais (sales supervisor, Preferred Cape in all three divisions. Solutions), Steven Cohen (MD, Sage Pastel) and Rico “It is with great pleasure that Ferreira (managing director, Preferred Solutions). Sage Pastel presented Preferred Solutions with these awards, not only hon- is a privilege to work with Preferred Soluouring their achievements and success, but tions and we wish them the best for the year their ongoing commitment to providing the ahead,” says Daryl Blundell, Sage Pastel highest quality of support to our clients. It sales director.

The reason for this is that US interest policy directly or indirectly affects all global asset prices. Thus, Yellen sits with the unenviable task of normalising the US interest rate policy in a world that has become accustomed (addicted) to cheap money. Just like any addiction, taking away the “fix” will be painful. As a long-term investor, prepare for increased volatility, but understand that volatility is not risk. Unfortunately the financial services industry measures risk as volatility of return, creating the mistaken belief that risk and volatility are synonymous. Risk is quite simply losing your money permanently. There are really only three ways to lose your money permanently. Number one – and my personal favourite – is the Ponzi scheme, named after the gentleman who first conned investors, Charles Ponzi. Once you have fallen for a Ponzi scheme, your money is permanently gone.

Number two is overpaying for an asset. All assets have an underlying intrinsic value attached to them. However, at times an asset may trade well above its intrinsic value, which will result in permanent loss of capital for any investors who overpaid. Number three is investing in a business that goes bankrupt. Apologies to any investors who have succumbed to any of these three, but it should not be that hard to avoid the aforementioned pitfalls. How most investors lose their money is not through the above, but through irrational decisions taken during periods of temporary loss of money associated with market volatility. The market crashes, the investor panics and sells. The money is gone! And this is why risk and volatility have mistakenly become synonymous. Don’t avoid volatility; counter-intuitively this is when the best investment opportunities often present themselves. Investing is simple, but not easy, and it can at times be very uncomfortable. The secret is patience and a cool head.

By die langasems is trotse skoolhoof, Patrick Beukes. WALK FOR WATER: Learners from SomerStrand participated in the school’s recent Walk for Water awareness campaign. Every year SomerStrand runs this campaign to teach children to appreciate the fact that they’re able to drink water from a tap and flush a toilet. The campaign makes them think about children who have to walk many kilometres daily, to bring water to their homes for drinking, washing and sanitation. Rowan van Wyk and Liam Montgomerie walked six laps in the fastest time. BAAN-UITBLINKERS: Hoërskool Gordonatlete Denaline Raubenheimer (tweede van links) en Bevan Hendricks (tweede van regs) het die afgelope naweek goed gevaar by die Wes-Kaapse Atletiek-kampioenskappe. Denaline het die vyfde plek in die meisies o. 19 100 m-hekkies behaal, terwyl Bevan die vierde plek in die seuns o. 15-hoogspring behaal het. By hulle is spanbestuurder Melvin Hermanus (heel links) en Lance Sepkit (heel regs), atletiekkoordineerder.

WP-TENNIS: Dié Beaumont-leerders het onlangs hulle WP-kleure in tennis verwerf. Jacques Mienny (links) en Franzé Lötter (middel) is vir die WP o. 13A-span gekies en Daniel de Necker (regs) is in die o. 12A-span opgeneem. Jacques en Daniel sal vanaf 27 tot 31 Maart aan die Synergy Beker in Kimberley deelneem. Daniel Zandenbergh (afwesig op die foto) is vir die WP o. 13B-span gekies. Sy span sal op 20 en 21 Maart in Worcester teen die Boland-span speel. SKAAK: Michael Basson, van Somerset-Wes en leerder aan die Landbouskool Oakdale, het in die o. 18-kategorie van die Hessequaskaakproewe deelgeneem en na die SWD-proewe deurgedring. KRAGTIG: Kirstein Möller van Gordonsbaai en leerder by die Hoër Landbouskool Oakdale, was deel van die A-span wat ’n goue medalje in die 400 kg-kategorie by die Eden-toutrekkampioenskappe gewen het.

Reunion picnic In celebration of their 40th anniversary, Beaumont Primary will host a reunion for all learners who attended the school from 1975 to 2009. The picnic will be held at the school on Friday 27 March at 18:00. For more information, contact Trish on 021 851 7124 or Darlene on reunion@beaumont4u. co.za.

The first World Golden Oldies Festival took place in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1984. Since then, the festival has been held every two years at destinations including Perth, Sydney, Wellington, Harrogate, Vancouver, Colombo, Brighton and Cape Town (1998). The 17th festival has attracted more than 50 teams; joining the festival this year is former West Indian fast bowler Joel Garner (an Ambassador for Golden Oldies cricket), wily former Australian leg-spinner Bob Holland and South African internationals, Alan Dawson, Steve

Palframan, John Commins and Dave Rundle. The festival patron is former SA test player, Mike Procter who, though not playing, will be part of the activities. Each team will play three games during the week and, in the true spirit of golden oldies cricket, there are no trophies as teams play for bragging rights only. Games at Radloff Park are: 25 March: SWCC Oakes vs Australian Sri Lankans (Aus); Vagabonds (RSA) vs Polegate and Stone Cross (Eng); 27 March: SWCC Oakes vs Parkvale Puffers (Aus), Yandina Pioneers (Aus) vs Toronto Lumberjacks(Can)and SWCCOakesvsCBCGolden Oldies (Aus), Springwood Royals vs Hungover Old Gents (RSA).

Pirates end season with a ‘mercy rule’ win The senior and junior Helderberg Pirates Baseball Club’s sides played their last games of the season last weekend, to end in strong positions in their respective leagues. The first senior side beat Devonshire 11-1 by mercy rule in the seventh frame. Pirates tallied up runs from the first innings and continued their momentum into the seventh innings, with big hits from Garth Uys and SP Griebenow to put the 10-run mercy rule into effect. Devonshire struggled to hit Pirates’ pitcher Chris Lambert, who continued his excellent form. Unfortunately, Lambert’s one errorthrow allowed Devonshire to score their only run in the game, preventing him from his first ”shut-out” game of the season. This win cements Pirates third place on the Promotion League log with Grassy Park Crusaders overall winners. The juniors “newbie” u-10 side lost 14-15 to Devonshire, while the u-12s lost 7-9 to Devonshire. Despite this loss, this newly formed team finished second in their league. The u-15s won their game against Devonshire 6-4. This win secured them top spot in their league and team

Massive mackerel shoals still roam False Bay waters Although March is generally considered as one of the best times of the year for fishing, the recent run of huge shoals of mackerel that have returned to the Cape waters is unusual. When mackerel shoals are located, they provide great fun and action if shoals are constantly chummed alongside the boat. During the past weekend good catches of mackerel were caught one mile off shore in the Strand area. A number of small boats also had full quotas of elf and kob from the Poort and Melk Bay areas. Last weekend good catches of yellowtail

were boated around Cape Point and on Sunday good shoals of yellowtail were seen, and several shot by spear fishermen off Dassen Island. They also reported masses of krill close to the shore at Yzerfontein, where they observed two whales in the vicinity. Alan du Plessis, skippering Lynx on Sunday, caught a number of longfin tunny and a 50kg yellowfin from the Canyon area. Further afield Gareth Beaumont, fishing on Tyler on the Alfa Banks off Struisbaai, had a good catch of yellowtail and hooked and lost a black marlin. Local shore anglers had good catches of

Helderberg lost the toss and were sent in to bat. After a solid 50-run partnership between Vincent Castle and Gary-John Sylvester, Helderberg lost three quick wickets in succession to slump to 80/4. This brought Marcello Thomas to the crease and, together with Sylvest-

er, they put together a 115-run partnership to enable their team to finish their innings on a respectable 205/8. The top run scorers in Helderberg’s first innings were Gary-John Sylvester (95), Marcello Thomas (50*) and Vincent Castle (41). Bonteheuwel had a steady start to their innings, but opening bowler Christo Southey struck in rapid succession to take two quick wickets and put Bonteheuwel on the back foot. The visitors, however, recovered well and for a while fought back bravely. But wickets continued to fall regularly and day one ended with the

visitors on 165/9 – still 40 runs behind the home team – and with only six overs remaining in their first innings. The best bowlers for Helderberg were Southey and Thomas with two wickets apiece. Helderberg’s fourth team beat Blue Downs by 33 runs on Saturday. Helderberg won the toss and decided to bat, scoring 121. The top scoring batsmen were Eugene Vermeulen (28) and Nico Janse van Rensburg (16). Blue Downs battled against some brilliant bowling and only managed to score 88.
