Padongeluk eis
Idasvalleier sterf na kopstamp
Yaël Malgas
Roderick Louskitt het op ’n mistige Dinsdagoggend oudergewoonte werk toe gery toe hy vandeesweek in ’n ongeluk omgekom het.
Die Idasvallei-inwoner was in die dorp se rigting onderweg op die Helshoogtepad langs die
Nietvoorbij-sokkerveld. Volgens inligting het die 42-jarige op die voetpaadjie padgegee vir stappers en in die proses in die pad beland.
’n Aankomende vragmotor het glo probeer uitswaai vir hom, maar Louskitt het sy kop teen die bak van die voertuig gestamp.
’n Stellenbosser het vertel
werkers van die Stellenboschmunisipaliteit het ná die ongeluk ingespring om te help en ook verseker dat Louskitt bedek was voordat noodpersoneel op die toneel was.
Lt.kol. Monique Fortuin, die stasiebevelvoerder van die Cloetesville-polisie, het bevestig die polisie het om 06:45 op die toneel gereageer waar ’n vragmotor en fiets betrokke was.
Familie was Dinsdagoggend op die toneel waar noodpersoneel die toneel
opgeruim het en verkeersbeamptes verkeer op die besige pad gereël het.
Edwin Clarke, Louskitt se pa, het op die toneel gesê sy seun het daagliks fiets gery.
“Hy was gereeld op sy fiets –elke oggend en elke aand. Ons bly in Cloetesville, en as hy kom kuier het, het hy uit Idasvallei gery. Dit was maar sy vervoer,” sê Clarke oor sy oudste seun.
“Sy ma het in September verjaar en ons was almal weg
vir haar 60ste verjaarsdag. Ons was almal Hermanus toe – ek, die vrou en die kinders en die kleinkinders.
“Net gisteraand het ons almal nog op die familie se Whatsappgroep gepraat en ou foto’s van hul kinderdae gedeel, en dat dít nou vanoggend gebeur . . .” vertel Clarke.
Louskitt laat sy vrou, Janine, en drie kinders agter.
’n Saak van strafbare manslag word deur Cloetesvillepolisie ondersoek.
Kidnappings and extortion are on the rise in the Boland
Yaël Malgas
Cases of kidnapping are on the rise nationally, locally a student is one of the latest victims of this crime spree.
According to the crime statistics published by the South African Police Service, 233 cases of kidnapping were reported in the province between April and June. In nine of these a ransom was demanded, five involved cases of extortion and one was classified as human trafficking.
On Thursday 3 October, a local student was walking from a restaurant in Plein Street to her residence when she was snatched. According to police the 20-year-old was walking at
approximately 02:40 when an unknown vehicle with two occupants stopped and kidnapped her. “In the course of events the suspects demanded a ransom from the family of the hostage,” Captain Frederick C van Wyk, a provincial spokesperson, said in a statement.
“They immediately paid the money after which the victim was released on
Friday (4 October).”
After the ordeal she was immediately taken for medical examination.
Two suspects have since been charged with kidnapping and extortion after investigation by the multidisciplinary team led to the arrest of the suspects.

“Information was followed-up on and a vehicle of interest, a black BMW, was identified during preliminary investigation. The Licence Plate Recognition system was activated and the vehicle was successfully traced to the George area.
“Two foreign national men, aged 24 and 25, were found in the vehicle and detained for further investigation. An undisclosed amount of cash was found in the car including the phone used.”
The suspects have since appeared in the Stellenbosch Magistrates’ Court with their next appears set to be on Wednesday 23 October.
This is not the first case of kidnapping in the area. In June earlier this year, a 32-year-old suspect appeared in the Caledon Magistrates’ Court after being arrested in connection with the kidnapping of two students on the Franschhoek Pass.
In two separate incidents a cyclist and two University of Stellenbosch students were kidnapped and a ransom sought for their release. In both cases the abductors travelled to Grabouw with the victims.
Charnel Hattingh, Group Head of Communications and Marketing at the Fidelity Services Group, advised Stellenbosch students always to be aware of your surroundings. “If you spot anything suspicious please alert the police or your security company immediately,” she added. “Keep all doors and windows locked, don’t walk around alone at night, and avoid any dark or unfamiliar areas at night or any surrounding that makes you feel uncomfortable.”
Captain Nathalie Martin, spokesperson of Stellenbosch police, urged walkers to avoid distractions such as headphones or being absorbed in your phone when in unfamiliar or isolated areas. She said in the unfortunate experience of being taken victims should try to stay calm, comply with captors’ instructions to avoid provoking them, as sudden resistance may cause harm. Also, avoid arguing or confrontation as far as possible.
“Attempt to escape only if you see a clear, safe opportunity. Premature attempts may make your situation worse.
“If you are in a populated area try to attract attention by making noise, banging objects or signalling passersby discreetly. Take action during vulnerable moments if kidnappers are distracted or you are left alone. Assess whether this may be an opportunity to escape or call for help.”
She added that providing as many details as possible can help authorities find the suspects. “Provide as much detail as possible about the appearance of the kidnappers such as height, weight, build, hair colour, skin colour, eye colour and maybe scars or tattoos.
“If you heard abductors speak recall any distinct accents, languages or phrases they used. Detail of vehicle such as colour, type of vehicle, condition (scratches, stickers) and also the licence plate is valuable.”
Martin added that if victims have received any calls, messages or emails from their kidnappers they must not delete them, and share all communication with the authorities.
Biological mother of two teens sought
Minister visits MR191 project
October is Mobility Month and as part of the Department of Infrastructure’s observation of the month, the Western Cape Minister of Infrastructure Tertuis Simmers, visited the MR191 road upgrades project, located south of the N1, near Paarl, continuing through the Franschhoek Pass to the Theewaterskloof dam.
of regional road infrastructure.
Additionally, this project aims also to benefit local communities from the surrounding areas of Simondium, Pierkamp and Groendal by creating 384 job opportunities and 40 contracts for local enterprises, supporting local economic development.
Stellenbosch ACVV is looking for a biological mother to complete the late birth registration of her children. Ulandi (Landi) Lackay was born in 17 August 1980 and is being sought in connection with her 16-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son. Lackay was seen in Cloetesville, Stellenbosch. Anyone with information is asked to contact the ACVV Stellenbosch office on 021 883 3015 or Mrs Van der Horst on 079 0658 661.
Family of hospital patient sought
Stellenbosch Hospital needs the community’s help in locating the family of a patient.
Gail Adams (41) was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday 3 September. She was born on 16 October 1983 and her last recorded address was in Stellenbosch. It is believed her sister, Johanna Brand, may live in Strand.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Liesl Sassman at Stellenbosch Hospital on 021 808 6100.
The minister visited the project on Thursday (3 October). The R598 million project, commenced in April and involves infrastructure improvements to enhancing safety and transport connectivity.
The scope of the work includes a 30month upgrade and periodic maintenance of other segments, highlighting the long-term development
Known suspect arrested
On Friday 4 October, around 17:00, Klapmuts police arrested a known suspect for possession of an illegal 9 mm chrome-plated pistol, the serial number of which had been removed. According to police the 24-year-old suspect was known for involvement with robberies in Klapmuts and was arrested close to a local sports field. He will appear in Paarl Magistrates’ Court on the charges.
“I am very pleased with the progress at the MR191 road upgrade project,” Simmers said. “These upgrades, and many similar projects across the province, showcase, not only the Western Cape Government’s commitment to ensure that roads are safe to travel on, but it also affirms our efforts to enable a growing economy that connects communities to opportunities that will improve the quality of people’s lives.” The project is to be completed by October 2026.
CRIME SNIPPETS
Theft of all sorts are on the rise, and Stellenbosch police is warning locals to take precautions to keep themselves and their possessions safe.
Stellenbosch police has identified various hot spots where these crimes regularly took place in September.
In George Blake, Bassi, Victoria, Andringa, Dorp, Thubelitsha and Ryneveldt Streets over the weekend many fell victim to robbery involving a weapon, whether a firearm or any other instrument. According to police suspects usually threaten victims and grab their belongings. Most incidents take place between 21:00 and 02:59.
Theft out of a motor vehicle reported to police occurred mostly on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in the vicinity of Helshoogte, Alexander, Ryneveldt, Dr Malan and Jan Cillier Streets between 15:00 and 23:59. The criminals’ modus operandi is to smash side windows of vehicles to gain access. It seems some are not just content to steal out of vehicles, but also to steal the cars as well.
According to police most cases occurred in Doornbosch, Banghoek, Bird and Victoria Streets. Most cases occurred from Sunday to Wednesday, from 09:00 to 12:00. Last month cases of general theft were reported in Bird, Andringa, De Beer and Merriman Streets, especially on weekends. On Fridays and Saturday from 12:00 to 18:00 and 21:00 to 03:00, respectively.
Captain Nathalie Martin, spokesperson for Stellenbosch police, urged residents to park vehicles in safe spaces and to lock vehicles properly. They must also be sure to remove all valuables from view.
“Install a car-alarm system and tracker in your vehicle if possible,” she said. “Have your information of vehicle at hand to give proper description if stolen.”
Report suspicious-looking activity to Law Enforcement or Stellenbosch police on 021 809 5012/5.

Orchard gets fig cultivars
The provincial agriculture department has partnered with a new venture, Soetmelksvlei, to provide genetic plant material derived from the department’s extensive fig collection at its Oudtshoorn research farm for establishment at the two farms in the Franschhoek Valley.
To mark the historic day, Dr Ivan Meyer, provincial Minister for Agriculture, Economic Development and Tourism, planted a unique and extraordinary variety of figs, the Cape Black Fig, at a tree-planting ceremony at the historic fig orchard at Soetmelksvlei on World Tourism Day Friday 27 September.
According to Dr Ilse Trautmann, the department’s Deputy Director-General of Research and Regulatory Services, its research farm in Oudtshoorn has the most extensive collection of fig cultivars in South Africa.
She also added that the Beurre pear orchard, a significant part of local agricultural history, was the first research orchard to be planted at another of the department’s research farms, Elsenburg, in 1896. Genetic material from these orchards has been preserved since 2014 under strict protocols at the South African Plant Improvement Organisation outside Stellenbosch.
“Great value can be derived from our partnership with Soetmelksvlei and our joint desire to preserve this genetic source,” added Trautmann. “The decision to offer these special fig cultivars to the heritage gardens at Babylonstoren coincided with the further expansion of its newest venture, Soetmelksvlei. This provided the ideal place to plant one of the cultivars in their historic fig orchard.”
Adele Johnson, head of Soetmelksvlei, describes it as a place that offers visitors a glimpse into farm life in the previous century.
“Soetmelksvlei, an interactive farmyard set in the late 19th century, offers visitors an opportunity to experience its unique fruit orchards and very soon newly established historic fig orchard, including the cultivar from the WCDoA.”
By planting the tree the provincial government acknowledged Soetmelksvlei’s role in preserving the Western Cape’s agricultural heritage and promoting agritourism, Meyer pointed out.
Living heritage projects such as Soetmelksvlei contribute to the provinces’s agri-tourism landscape.
“In the Western Cape, agri-tourism is a significant pillar of the provincial tourism economy,” Meyer explained.
“Wine tourism, in particular, performs very well and is an integral part of the local tourism industry. It directly contributed R3,05 billion to the South African GDP, employing 6 304 permanent employees, 4 798 casual employees during peak season, and another 2 870 casual employees in 2022.
“These farms offer wonderful experiences such as flower picking, harvesting, teaching people how to make cheese, and more. Whether you are a local or just visiting, exploring our farms is a must.”
Vleg solank jou blomkroon vir Tuindag
Tuindag bied elke jaar aan SuidAfrikaners die geleentheid om hul tuine te vier.
Dis ’n spesiale dag om die harde werk, maar ook die vreugde wat tuine bring, met ’n prettige tuinpartytjie te vier. Groot en klein tuine kan mense bymekaarbring. Dit is hoekom mense wat lief is vir plante en tuinmaak aangemoedig word om Sondag 20 Oktober ’n blomkroon te vleg en in die pret te deel.
Tuindag is ’n viering vir plantliefhebbers en tuinmaakgeesdriftiges. Dis perfek vir mense wat hul tuin graag met ander wil deel, asook vir elkeen wat daarvan hou om te onthaal en graag tyd saam met hul geliefdes deurbring.
Vir Pietman Diener van Stellenbosch, ’n ywerige tuinier en plantkenner, gaan dit oor die vreugde wat plante en tuine bring. Sy eie tuin is ’n vrolike deurmekaarspul, sê hy. “By die huis is ek nie ’n netjiese tuinier nie; ek hou van ’n kleurvolle warboel. Dit hoef nie perfek te wees nie.”
Diener beplan om Tuindag in sy tuin tuis saam met die spesiale mense in sy lewe te vier. “Tuindag is ’n verlenging van my liefde vir tuinmaak en die lewe
is te kort om nie te doen waarvoor jy lief is nie. Ons sal op Tuindag uit die tuin eet.”
Ná ’n oordadige kweper-oes sal daar ’n stroperige kweperkonfyt wees, asook ’n vars slaai met bestanddele uit die tuin – aspersies, boontjies en blomme. “Blomme uit die tuin is baie belangrik in ons huis – en om met ons familie en vriende te deel,” sê Diener.
Corli Leonard, ’n bedryfsingenieur en bloemiste van Heidelberg en wat op sosiale media as “Veldmeisie” bekendstaan, sê die natuur inspireer haar. Vir haar gaan Tuindag oor dankbaarheid en om jouself tyd te gun om jou tuin en die buitelug te geniet. Sy vier dit graag saam met goeie vriende.
“Ons maak blomkrone en gebruik ’n verskeidenheid plante, vrugte, blomme en groente,” sê sy.
Haar raad: “Gebruik wat jy het en moenie vergeet om ’n bietjie te speel nie.”
’n Gedeelde tuin in ’n buurt kan inwoners trots maak op hul omgewing, vriendskapsbande tussen mense versterk en ’n gevoel van gemeenskap bevorder, toon studies oor gemeenskapstuine.
Codi Marais, die stigter van Groa
(Grow a Garden) in Ottery, help ook om gemeenskappe te voed deur ’n leefstyl van volhoubaarheid te vestig en herlewingslandbou aan te moedig. Groa help mense deur hulle praktiese vaardighede te leer oor hoe om gewasse op die regte manier te plant. Die organisasie het ten doel om voedselsekerheid in kwesbare gemeenskappe te verseker.
Marais vier Tuindag deur sy ouma se nalatenskap voort te sit. Hy is dankbaar vir die groot verskeidenheid plantegroei in die land. Hy sal op die dag aan ’n uitreikprogram in en om Kaapstad deelneem.
Jou Tuindagviering kan enigiets wees – van ’n feestelike middagete tot ’n piekniek of teepartytjie in die tuin. Jy kan bloot rustig onder jou gunstelingboom in jou tuin sit. Maak nie saak wat jy doen nie – moet net nie vergeet om jou blomkroon te dra nie. Besoek www.gardenday.co.za vir talle hulpmiddels wat jou kan help om jou Tuindag-viering te beplan. Daar is aanpasbare plakkate, uitnodigings en spesiale grafika wat jy op sosiale media kan deel om te wys jy ondersteun Tuindag, asook riglyne en wenke oor hoe om jou eie blomkroon te maak.

altyd deel van haar lewe.
Sy was ook deel van die groep vroue van Stellenbosch wat in 1942 besluit het om maandeliks byeen te kom en vir mekaar konsert te hou. Die Troubadours het in 2022 hul 80ste bestaansjaar gevier en Esmé was byderhand. Sy is beskou as een van die Troubadours se gewaardeerde lede. Sy was ook die oudste lid en het tot diep in haar negentigerjare steeds opgetree.
Dit is dus geen verrassing dat Esmé se gunsteling-herinnering haar klavieroptrede saam met José Lopez in Port Elizabeth in die grootste saal vir musiek in die land is nie.
Deesdae is Esmé by Le Clémence se Bonheur, waar ’n spesiale partytjie op
die groot dag vir haar gehou is. Sy woon sedert 2021 hier en sê sy woon lekker in die aftreeoord. Die Bonheurspan kyk goed na haar, sê sy. Sy het hier, met hul hulp, reeds van erge siekte herstel.
Esmé het drie kinders – Krause, Lenie en Kristien – grootgemaak en sy en wyle Willem Steenkamp was baie gelukkig getroud.
Musiek bly steeds ’n passie, hoewel Esmé bieg sy sal nie meer optree nie –uit vrees sy sal “’n fool” van haarself maak.
Op ’n vraag wat haar geheim tot ’n lang lewe is, sê Esmé sy baklei met niemand nie. Wat sy wel doen, is om ’n lekker tjoppie en ’n koppie tee te geniet.

Beauties vie for pageant crown
The 14th annual Stellenbosch Pageant will take place this Saturday (12 October) the Stellenbosch Town Hall.
Competing categories range from Tiny, Toddler, PreTeen, Teen, Senior and even Mrs categories with 40 finalists that will be vying for these crowns.
“The pageant is much more than just a beauty pageant or modelling competition,” pageant director Enigma von Hamburg says. “It provides a platform and opportunity for each and every contestant to grow. They rise above their circumstances and become heroes in their communities in the fight for social change, which is much needed in our communities. The pageant is also a vehicle for educating the communities to respect and show tolerance towards
people of diverse sexual orientations and cultural, religious and racial backgrounds.”
The finalists have gone through a series of judging rounds, which include a pre-judging event, a closed-door interview and, most importantly, finalists were challenged to perform community service, where they have to collaborate with the Stellenbosch Night Shelter and StellCare to showcase that they are true ambassadors of goodwill.
Saturday, each finalist will strut their stuff one last time in front of an esteemed panel of judges, in evening attire, where the new ambassadors will be crowned.
) For more information about the event, or to become a partner in terms of sponsorship, contact Von Hamburg on pageants@evhempire.co.za or send a WhatsApp message to 078 515 9645.

Die Dal wen spogregte
Yaël Malgas
Die stryd om die Vlakteerfenisbeker is die afgelope Saterdag (5 Oktober) beslis en die stryd tussen Cloetesville en Idasvallei het in Cloetesville se guns geswaai.
Sportspanne van dié twee Stellenbosch-buurte het by die Cloetesville-sportterrein byeengekom en in alles van netbal tot rugby meegeding om koning te kraai.
Die Vlakte-erfenisbeker is deur Herotel, tesame met RH Events en die Cloetesvillesportraad, aangebied.
Volgens die organiseerders was dit ’n geskiedkundige dag waar die gemeenskappe en inwoners van alle sektore bymekaar gekom het om die “Vlakte” se storie, as deel van Stellenbosch se geskiedenis, lewend te hou.
Ds. Reggie Nel van die Universiteit Stellenbosch se departement teologie en Stellenbosch se onderburgemeester, Jeremy Fasser, het die verwelkomings behartig.
Morne Laubscher, areabestuurder van Herotel Stellenbosch, het die feesvieringe ingelui. Hy sê dié
met junior- en
en die
sportdag is ’n geleentheid vir die onderneming om in die plaaslike jeug terug te ploeg. Sokker, rugby en netbal is gespeel nadat die sportdag met ’n motorfietsrit, trompoppies, die loslaat van duiwe, ’n spirituele dans en ’n karatedemonstrasie begin is. Stalletjies het omgesien na genoeg eetgoed terwyl ’n springkasteel kinders ure lank besig gehou het.
Marlon Davidse, ’n organiseerder, sê die gees van

is Eli Toutie.
die dag was iets besonders en die ondersteuning was baie goed.
Aan die einde van die dag se sport en feesvieringe het Cloetesville die groot trofee naelskraaps gewen. Die Dal het ná sy oorwinning die spogregte tot volgende jaar wanneer die Vlakte-erfenisbeker-kompetisie in Vlei aangebied sal word. “Let us play together to stay together,” vra die organiseerders.

Tigers-netbalspan was gereed om die kompetisie aan te pak. Agter is Brooklyn Lee, Janique Zimmerie, Zoey Mumba, Paul Beukes (kaptein), Haydene Thompson en Miché Witbooi. Voor
Die o.11-span van United van Idasvallei is een van die spanne wat Saterdag deelgeneem het. Hul afrigters, James Manuel, Davy Pool, Richardo Isaacs, Wilbur Olivier en Riaan Moses, het seker gemaak hul onderskeie spanne was gereed vir die dag.
Saam vorm Hlela Nqevu, Khazimia Soxuzd, Amyoli Mbita, Constance Manaka, Lange Mtshotsho, Ayola Dyosi en Amahle Mlandezo die Legacy-span. Dié span van Khayamandi het aan die o.13-netbalkompetisie deelgeneem.
Hoewel haar span die onderspit moes delf, wens die Idasvallei-afrigter Sibrina Montlé die meisies geluk met ’n goeie wedstryd.
Die o.13-span van Franschhoek het kragte met Cloetesville (in swart) op die netbalbaan gemeet. Die tuisspan het uiteindelik 3-1 koning gekraai teen die besoekers. Sokker was aan die orde van die dag met die kleinspan wat vir heelwat opwinding op die veld gesorg het.

Sweet victory for KBA
“The vision is to get the youth off the street and introduce them to sports, recreational activities, education and skills
This was the vision of Khayamandi Boxing Academy (KBA) and it meant business.
During the recent school holidays three boxers from the academy represented the province at the national championships in Limpopo.
Together with their coach the three brought victory to Khayamandi’s streets.
Amahle Mthelo (13) 2023 silver medallist is now the 2024 South African gold medallist.
Endinako Nqolosa (12) was a debutant at the competition and won a silver medal, while Jamaal Eckstein (15) became a 2023 and 2024 national bronze medallist.
“My first fight in 2023 wasn’t difficult, but the experience taught me some lessons and I had to make some
improvements in the gym, to my teammates and coach for pushing me to work hard.
“It was not easy in training but since I wanted to be a champion this year, I just told myself ‘work hard girl so that you could achieve your goals’,” Amahle says.
Endinako says taking part in the national competition was tough as a first timer but with effort she managed to push herself to success.
According to Xolisani Thembani, KBA head and coach said the achievements are a testament to the incredible support and hard work behind the scenes.
“I must highlight the invaluable contribution of Nombulelo Ngolozana, who has been instrumental in handling our administrative duties and managing our social media presence.
Her dedication has played a significant role in the academy’s progress.
“I also want to extend my deepest appreciation to Dom Mazza (of Gino’s Stellenbosch). Since the establishment of KBA, Dom has been a steadfast partner, providing unwavering financial support.”
He believes KBA has the potential to expand its reach and change the lives of the boxers for the better.
Klubkrieket is terug
Tasmin Cupido
Die langverwagte klubkrieketseisoen het die afgelope naweek met gemengde uitslae vir spanne van die Stellenbosch-streek begin. Drie van die vyf plaaslike spanne in die Premierliga van Krieket Boland het welslae behaal. Die ander twee was egter aan die verloorkant.
Die eerste span van die Coronations-krieketklub het Saterdag 5 Oktober sy seisoen met ’n bonuspunt-oorwinning teen Worcester United by die Pniël-sportgronde begin. Die tuisspan het die loot gewen en besluit om eerste te boul. Lehan Botha (3/42), Theo van Wyk (2/41) en Charl Cyster (2/34) het die Worcesteriete omtrent voor die penne laat bontstaan en het met die bal uitgeblink. United is in die 45ste boulbeurt vir 170 lopies uitgehaal.
Blayde Capell (78) was die enigste Worcester Unitedkolwer wat weerstand teen die Coronations-boulaanval gebied het.
Op hul beurt het die manne van Pniël met slegs vyf paaltjies plat die teiken met gemak en in 30.5 boulbeurte bereik.
Coronations, Maties, Van der Stel begin met seges
Zamile Adams (41) en Botha (41) was die beste kolwers en het tot Coronations se vyfpaaltjie-oorwinning bygedra.
Charlton Fransman (2/30) was die besoekers se beste bouler.
By die Coetzenburg-ovaal het die Maties-krieketklub die span van die Wellington-krieketklub vir die openingswedstryd van die seisoen verwelkom.
Die besoekers het die loot gewen en die tuisspan ingestuur om te kolf. David Christie (125) het ’n briljante kolfbeurt opgelewer en sy span op koers na oorwinning gelei. Hy is goed bygestaan deur Josh Brown (39) en Kayden Solomons (38).
Moshin Khan (4/44) was die beste bouler vir Wellington en die Maties het hul beurt op 272/9 ná 50 boulbeurte geëindig.
Die studente se boulers het vroeg in die Wellingtonkolfbeurt paaltjies platgetrek en die besoekers het uit die staanspoor gesukkel om op dreef te kom. Andre Mentz (2/12), Mphela Maleka (2/18), Daniel Ristow (2/22) en Ross Boast (2/35) het goeie vertonings gelewer en seker gemaak dat Wellington slegs
154 lopies in 38.1 boulbeurte aanteken.
Maties het die wedstryd met 118 lopies beklink en sodoende ook ’n bonuspunt behaal.
Van der Stel-krieketklub se eerste span het vir hul eerste wedstryd van die seisoen na Paarl gereis om kragte met die Young Peoples-krieketklub op die Dal Josafat-sportterrein te meet.
Die tuisspan het die loot gewen en Van der Stel ingestuur om te kolf. Riyaad Henry (66), Ruben de Bruin (61), Byron Haycock (39) en André Hanekom (31) het bygedra tot Van der Stel se 263/8 in 50 boulbeurte.
Vir Young Peoples het Jade Adams (3/38) en Clint Philander (3/44) aan die boulfront uitgeblink.
Die Stellenbossers het op hul beurt met die aanvang van die tuisspan se kolfbeurt hul stem dik gemaak en hul stempel op die wedstryd afgedwing. Divan Swanepoel (3/40) en Rayyaan Rhode (2/45) het van voor gelei, en het verseker dat Peoples slegs 185/7 in hul 50 boulbeurte aanteken.
Die kolfbeurte van Akeem Minnaar (75*) en Abriam
Jacobs (26) was nie genoeg om hul span oor die lyn te kry nie, en Van der Stel het die wedstryd met 78 lopies en ’n bonuspunt gewen. Beide die Stellenbosch- en die Victoriane-krieketklubs was in hul openingswedstryde aan die verloorkant, met beide wat met die kolfwerk gesukkel het. Vics het teen die Paarlkrieketklub op die Parys-ovaal klippe gekou en met ses paaltjies die knie gebuig. Die tuisspan het die loot gewen en die besoekers gevra om te kolf.
Die Stellenbossers het nooit regtig aan die gang gekom nie en is in die 40ste boulbeurt met slegs 94 lopies op die telbord almal uitgeboender. Net James Kennedy (21) het ’n noemenswaardige beurt gelewer, terwyl Adrian du Toit (3/18) en Herchelle Poggenpoel (2/23) Paarl se beste boulers was. Die tuisspan het ligte werk van die teiken gemaak en in die 23ste oor die wenstreep gedraf, danksy bydraes deur Jaywin Solomons (41*) en Du Toit (23). Ethan Cunningham (3/25) was die beste bouler in sy span se sespaaltjie-loesing. Die Stellenbosch-krieketklub
het in sy wedstryd teen die Robertson-krieketklub goed begin en die tuisspan vir 193 lopies in 44.3 boulbeurte uitgeboul. Johnwin Lewis (4/48) en Curt Oliver (2/35) was die Stellenbossers se beste boulers, terwyl Roland Evertson en Deronde Slingers elk 29 lopies tot Robertson se telling bygevoeg het.
In hul kolfbeurt het die Stellenbosch-kolwers klippe gekou en gesukkel om aan die gang te kom. Hulle is in die 30ste boulbeurt vir slegs 69 lopies almal uitgehaal, en is met ’n 124-lopie-loesing terug na die Eikestad gestuur.
Peter Minnis (13) en Lewis (12*) is die enigste kolwers wat dubbelsyfers behaal het, terwyl Leolin Davids (4/17) en Bjorn Pienaar (2/10) Robertson se beste boulers was.
Hierdie Saterdag (12 Oktober) is al vyf spanne weer in aksie. Coronations speel gasheer vir Stellenbosch in Pniël, Vics reis na die Pen Basson-veld om kragte met Wellington te meet, en Maties ontvang Van der Stel by Coetzenburg. Die Spes Bona-, Excelsior-, Klapmuts-, Wemmershoek-, Franschhoeken Raithby-krieketklubs is eers Saterdag 19 Oktober in die Kaapse Wynland se Suidelike liga in aksie.
Die 14de Dagbreek-straatmyl, wat Woensdag 2 Oktober as deel van die Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees in Victoriastraat aangebied is, is deur groot deelname en goeie prestasies gekenmerk. Skaatsplankryers het ook aan die unieke skaatsplank-wedloop deelgeneem. Foto: Charmaine Sander Photography
