Versoekskrif oor pad begin
Laerskool Rhenish, sê hoewel
Yaël Malgas
Verskeie ongelukke en noue ontkomings van leerders het plaaslike inwoners genoodsaak om ’n versoekskrif op te stel om die kruising in Van Reede-weg te beveilig.
Onlangs is ’n 10-jarige leerder omgestamp nadat ’n motoris vermoedelik deur ’n rooi lig gery en die kind getref het. Die versoekskrif “Improve safety at pedestrian crossing in Van Reede Rd for Eikestad and Rhenish learners” is in Oktober begin om enige soortgelyke voorvalle te voorkom.
Die vierbaankruising is in die besige straat waar talle leerders van die Laerskool Rhenish en
die Laerskool Eikestad heen en weer beweeg vir skool. Volgens
Lisa le Roux weet sy van verskeie leerders wat byna omgestamp is omdat motoriste nie algemene padreëls volg nie.
“Daar is gereeld amperse ongelukke sowel as werklike ongelukke by die kruising. Oor die algemeen is die pad gevaarlik met motors wat in en uit Doornboschweg kom. Motoriste stop eenvoudig nie,” verduidelik sy.
Daan le Roux, wat die versoekskrif van stapel gestuur het, meen daar is fout met die ontwerp van die kruising wat dit moeilik maak vir motoriste om voetgangers, veral kinders, te sien die pad oorsteek.
Van Reede-weg ’n pad met druk verkeer is, is die kruising by Doornboschweg en Van Reede ook ’n probleem. Die hoë volume verkeer asook nalatigheid van motoriste maak veral die strate om die verskeie skole in die buurt gevaarlik. Dit is juis hoekom die skool nie ’n skolierepatrollie het nie, verduidelik Hall. “Ons gebruik glad nie leerders [vir skolierpatrollie] nie aangesien ons glo dit sal onveilig vir kinders wees gegewe die hoë volume verkeer op dié paaie en die onverskillige gedrag van baie motoriste.”
moontlik sal help dat motoriste gedwing word om hul spoed te verlaag. Dié hoër spoedbreker kan ook die sigbaarheid van die kruising verbeter.
voertuie se spoed te verlaag en bestuurders vroegtydig te waarsku en bewus te maak van die oorgang, kan ook voordelig wees.”
Stuart Grobbelaar, ’n munisipale woordvoerder, het gesê hulle is bewus van die onlangse voorval. “Ons waardeer gemeenskap-insette en neem sulke sake ernstig op. Die inhoud van die versoekskrif sal deeglik hersien word en ons verkeersingenieurs sal dit noukeurig evalueer om die mees gepaste optrede te bepaal,” sê hy. Grobbelaar voeg by die munisipaliteit is verbind tot die veiligheid van inwoners. Talle ongelukke by skole
Alex Hall, hoof van die
Hall voeg by die pad is ’n uitdaging vir selfs munisipale wetstoepassers en skoolpersoneel en meen om die kinders aan dié kopseer bloot te stel, sal onverskillig wees. ’n Voorstel is om die kruising te verhoog, wat
Henk Meyer, die hoof van die Laerskool Eikestad, het by navraag gesê ’n verhoogde oorgang vir voetgangers en fietsryers sal gewis ’n positiewe verbetering wees. “Die veiligheid van ons kinders, ouers, die breër publiek, asook al die leerders in die naburige skole is natuurlik van kardinale belang. Ons is ongelooflik dankbaar vir OUTsurance en hul ‘OUTsurance Pointsmen’ en die ondersteuning wat hulle tans by die skole bied,” sê Meyer.
“Die geleentheid vir meer kinders en ouers om hierdie besige paaie veilig oor te steek, kan op so ’n wyse ook die verkeersdruk op die paaie verlig. Bykomende spoedhobbels om
Die hoop is dat die versoekskrif, wat verlede Dinsdag (3 Desember) reeds 725 handtekening gehad het, die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit sal aanspoor om veranderings aan te bring.

Die kospakkies wat Cathy Martin toeknoop, sal help om behoeftige gesinne tydens die skoolvakansie te help voed.
Kers-kospakkies vir leerders
Yaël Malgas
Die pakhuis van Carmen Stevens Wines was ’n “bynes” van bedrywighede, maar die “besige bytjies” was nie besig met wyn nie – eerder met kospakkies.
Benewens Stevens se werk as wynmaker bestuur sy ook die Carmen Stevens-stigting wat voedingskemas by skole van die Kaapse Vlaktes tot Ceres aanvul. Die stigting help altesaam 26 257 leerders om daagliks ’n maaltyd by die skool te kry. Volgens Stevens is hierdie maaltye vir baie kinders die enigste bord kos wat hulle bedags kry.
In die aanloop tot die Desember-skoolvakansie het die stigting sy skole gevra om elk 10 van sy mees kwesbare kinders te identifiseer om elk ’n kospakkie te ontvang.
Vrywilligers, geklee in swart en geel, het Saterdag 30 November by die pakhuis in Distilleryweg bymekaargekom
om 2 000 kospakkies te help pak. Die kospakkie is propvol basiese stapelvoedsel soos meel, rys en lensies.
Dit is belangrik om te verseker die kospakkies het genoeg voedingswaarde om ’n gesin van vyf te kan voed, sê Stevens. Sy sê voorts die logistiek om al 32 items aan te skaf, was ’n uitdaging, maar dit is gewis die moeite werd. Daar was 46 palette met 21 produkte vir die pakkies. Uiteindelik weeg die pakkies 17 kg elk. Skole het
CONTACT US/KONTAK ONS
verlede week die pakkies afgehaal en uitgedeel. “Óf die kinders óf hul ouers moes dan teken vir die kospakkies sodat ons kan verseker die kos gaan aan die regte gesinne.”
Collin Alie, ’n vrywilliger en ’n onderwyser van die Hoërskool Hindle, sê die saak lê hom na aan die hart.
“Hindle is ’n begunstigde van die stigting en het daarom vanjaar vir die eerste keer ’n voedingskema by die skool gehad. Dit maak ’n geweldige
verskil vir die leerders en die skool. In gevalle waar ons leerders gehad wat soggens siek geraak het omdat hulle niks gehad het om te eet nie, kry leerders nou ontbyt en middagete,” sê Alie.
Hy vertel die nood is so groot by die skool dat ekstra kos tydens die matriekeksamen gemaak is om te verseker matrikulante mis nie uit op die gratis maaltyd weens hul eindeksamen nie.
“Ons het agtergekom sommige van die kinders woon by hul grootouers, wie se staatspensioen nie ver genoeg strek nie. Ander is weer deel van huishoudings waar kinders aan die stuur is en waar daar nie altyd genoeg is om te eet nie.” Alie skenk sy tyd vir geleenthede soos die pak van kospakkies en bring altyd ’n paar ekstra hande saam. Zelda Vergotine, ’n eerste-keervrywilliger, sê sy was oorweldig deur die skaal van die bedrywighede, maar sal gewis
weer kom help. Sy meen die dag werk was ’n hartverblydende ervaring wat enigeen in die Kersgees sal kry.
Volgens Stevens beoog die stigting om die pakkies vir Paasfees te verdubbel.
“Die nood daar buite is so groot en met die skole wat [vir die vakansie] sluit, verloor die leerders toegang tot hul gereelde maaltye. Ons wil soveel as moontlik kinders deur die vakansietyd help, maar ons het ondersteuners nodig om dit volhoubaar te hou,” sê sy.
Stevens het die stigting in 2011 begin deur drie keer per week ’n koppie sop aan behoeftige kinders van drie skole in Belhar, waar sy gewoon het, uit te deel. Sedertdien bied die stigting ontbyt en middagete aan duisende leerders in die provinsie.

MUNICIPAL MANAGER:
Brandbestryders paraat vir somer
Meer as 2 000 brandbestryders sal hierdie brandseisoen byderhand wees om brande te blus.
Dít is verlede Woensdag (4 Desember) deur Anton Bredell, die Wes-Kaapse minister van plaaslike regering, omgewingsake en ontwikkelingsbeplanning, tydens die bekendstelling van planne vir die somer se brandseisoen, in Stellenbosch aangekondig.
Altesaam 2 300 professionele en gekontrakteerde brandbestryders word deur 24 lugvaart-hulpbronne bygestaan, wat helikopters en waterbomwerpers insluit.
“Die provinsiale regering het ’n lugsteunbegroting van R15 miljoen om saam met grondspanne te werk om op brande tydens die somermaande wat voorlê, te reageer. Hierdie bedrag sluit nie lugsteunbegrotings uit die verskillende distrikte en die Stad Kaapstad in nie,” het Bredell gesê.
Die Kaapse Wynlanddistriksmunisipaliteit, die Stad Kaapstad en die provinsiale departement se hulpbronne sal waar nodig gesamentlik ingespan word en almal is vir veldbrande op bystand.
Volgens Bredell is die provinsie veral vatbaar vir brande, gegewe die toename van plantegroei ná die goeie reënseisoen die afgelope winter.
Hy verduidelik alle plantegroei behou ’n brandgevaar in, veral met die droë, warm en winderige weer wat nou heers.
“Hierdie seisoen sal ons ook nou saam met nuwe vennote, soos die Nasionale Seereddingsinstituut (NSRI) en Lifesaving
Wes-Kaap, werk om ons vermoë te versterk om op alle soorte gevare te reageer, hetsy brande, oorstromings of noodgevalle ter see.”
Wat water-noodgevalle betref, het die Wes-Kaapse provinsiale rampbestuursentrum R391 000 opsygesit om te verseker die lewensreddingsdienste van Lifesaving Wes-Kaap en die NSRI is beskikbaar wanneer dit nodig is.
’n Bykomende R3 miljoen kom uit die departement van plaaslike regering se aangepaste begroting vir enige waterverwante noodgevalle in die provinsie.
Vennootskap is uiters belangrik vir die bestryding van brande en Bredell het die brandbestryders van die departement, die distriksmunisipaliteite, CapeNature, SanParke, Working on Fire (WoF) en brandvoorkomingsorganisasies en vrywilligers vir hul ondersteuning tydens die brandseisoen bedank.
“Ek wil al die dapper brandbestryders en noodwerkers, wat gereed is om ons gemeenskappe te beskerm, bedank. Jul toewyding speel ’n sleutelrol om ons provinsie veilig te hou,” sê Bredell. WoF het op sy beurt gesê hy is hierdie somer gereed om hand by te sit waar nodig. “Ons is trots om een van die sleutelrolspelers by die bekendstelling van die planne vir die somerbrandseisoen in Stellenbosch te wees, wat ons verbintenis tot die beveiliging van lewens, eiendom en die omgewing ten toon gestel het,” sê die organisasie. “Ons is met ons spanne, moderne hulpbronne en jare se ondervinding gereed om enige uitdagings wat hierdie seisoen kan meebring, aan te pak.”

Waldorf school replanted
High school learners of Stellenbosch Waldorf School braved the wet weather to plant giant pumpkin seeds at the new school premises at the Sustainability Institute in Lynedoch last Tuesday (3 December).
The school has announced it will move from its current premises at Spier Wine Farm after 14 years by the end of the year. Previous homes to the 32year-old school includes Hoër
The Nutcracker’s angel
Meisieskool Bloemhof, Jonkershoek and Tweefontein Farm.
“We are excited to welcome a like-minded institution such as Stellenbosch Waldorf School to the Sustainability Institute, as both our organisations engage in transformative learning towards just and generative futures,” said Vanessa von der Heyde, director of the Sustainability Institute.
Dr Ray Brink, board chairperson of the Waldorf
Ava Bouwer, a talented young ballerina from Bridge House School, has been selected to perform in the Cape Town City Ballet’s highly anticipated production of The Nutcracker this festive season. Bouwer was one of 400 children who auditioned for the opportunity to dance alongside the professional dancers of this renowned ballet company. After making it through the first round she made it through to the second round of auditions, where she was chosen to play the role of an angel in the 2024 season of The Nutcracker. She was also featured on Expresso, the SABC 3 morning show, last week and performed an extract from the upcoming production, which runs at Artscape Theatre, Cape Town from Friday 13 to Sunday 29 December, promising a spectacular experience for audiences of all ages. With its enchanting music, stunning choreography and festive spirit, The Nutcracker is a must-see highlight of the season, and Bouwer is excited to be part of the magical performance.
PUBLIC NOTICE: 195/2024
School added: “The institute’s facilities provide an opportunity for our students to also enjoy weekly hands-on educational sessions in the permaculture garden, enriching our gardening main lessons.”
The school offers independent education for children from three years old in play group, continuing through kindergarten, primary and high school.
It follows the full and dynamic Waldorf curriculum,
which nurtures children into conscious, well-rounded individuals prepared for life. The matric learners conclude their journey with the National Senior Certificate.
The school is located in a unique setting, providing a nurturing environment for diverse students, guiding them on a transformative educational journey that fosters personal growth, academic competence and a deep sense of social and environmental responsibility.

Youths aspiring to be part of the glitz and glamour of the pageantry world saw their hard work pay off at the crowning of Team South Africa for the MWI and MMI international competition in Stellenbosch on Saturday 23 November.
The black-tie event was held at Rietenbosch Primary School in Cloetesville, with participants, guests, reigning and visiting royalty, and supporters from across the country as well as other parts of the globe attending the much anticipated event.
It was hosted by Magnificent Women Icons International (MWI) and Magnificent Men Icons International (MMI), along with Stellenbosch NPO Support of Community Hearts.
A total of 13 fresh-faced royals were crowned at the event. They were Mpilonhle Madela; Angelina Mndebele; Ofentse Monareng; Abbi van Vuuren; Christihano Appollis; Kyle Adams; Hayman Enzo Jacobs; Brinay Katts; Aimee-Leigh de Koker; Akeelah Adams; Julian Katts; Michaska van Wyk; and Lebo Mohapi.
According to Sonja Adonis, Ms MWI International Elite 2023-’24, and a resident of Cloetesville, the winners were elected and crowned after shining in both their academic work at school

for three decades, he believes the MWI and MMI international competition was special as it seeks more than just a pretty face.
“There are many competitions out there, but what sets MWI and MMI international apart is that they look much deeper than superficial beauty, the best body and personality; they are looking for a beautiful and caring heart and soul.”
Adonis thanked all sponsors for making the event possible.
Pageant royalty embrace spirit of giving
In the spirit of giving and compassion the Annual Stellenbosch Pageant royalty, led by pageant director Queen Enigma von Hamburg, rallied together to host a special Christmas dinner for 75 guests of the Stellenbosch Night Shelter on Saturday 7 December.
The event was a heart-warming display of community spirit and generosity. “Our kings, queens and brand ambassadors, along with their parents and volunteers, worked tirelessly to provide a delicious meal, salads, dessert cupcakes, ice cream and tarts for the guests,” Von Hamburg said.
“The Annual Stellenbosch Pageant is much more than just a beauty pageant, our platform is living proof of the positive impact pageants can have on our community.”
In addition to Christmas dinner, the royals also donated clothing, shoes, reading books, Bibles, toiletries, sanitary supplies, food, cleaning essentials and blankets to the shelter. They also handed a generous monetary donation to the night shelter, which will provide shelter for 150 people in need.

Kiesers moet saamstaan
om dié minagting te stop
Mense wat in die munisipale gebied van Stellenbosch woon, moet weet dat ons nuwe burgemeester, soos die vorige twee, aangestel is deur die federale en provinsiale strukture van ’n politieke party.
Hulle is nie voorgestel deur enige politieke strukture in die munisipaliteit van Stellenbosch nie.
Mense kon aansoek doen om die pos as burgemeester.
’n Kortlys is opgestel deur ’n paneel waarin verteenwoordigers van Stellenbosch ’n minderheid was, en so is die burgemeester aangewys.
X1YCDP7D-EN121224
Die koukus van die regerende party en die stadsraad was maar net die rubberstempels.
Dis onseker hoe die onderburgemeester aangestel is.
So ’n burgemeester sal na die pype dans van die mense wat hom aangestel het, en nie die raadslede en inwoners van Stellenbosch dien nie.
Hy kry sy opdragte van bo, veral betreffende belangrike sake. Hy moet in sy spoor trap, anders word hy vervang. Die koukuslede van die regerende party het nie die murg in hul pype gehad om ’n eie kandidaat voor te stel en self ons burgemeester te kies nie. Dit moet nou end kry.
Kiesers moet hulle organiseer om ’n einde te maak aan hierdie minagtende optrede teen hulle. Stellenbosser, STELLENBOSCH

Kylemore vereer juniors in rugby
Yaël Malgas
Die rugby-juniors van Kylemore is Saterdag (7 Desember) vir hul harde werk op die veld beloon.
Die bestuur van die Kylemorejuniorrugbyklub het die afgelope naweek die rugbygemeenskap by die plaaslike hoërskool bymekaar geroep om die kinders te vereer. Elke span het medaljes ontvang vir sy sportvernuf. Onder hulle was die o.10-span wat die afgelope jaar nie een keer die knie vir hul opponente gebuig het nie.
Volgens die bestuur is die gemeenskapsklub ’n hartsaak wat beteken dit verg baie harde werk, maar beteken ook daar is baie liefde.
Benewens die sertifikate en trofeë vir die spanne is spelers ook vir hul individuele prestasies beloon.
Wayden Cyster (17) is aangewys as die Sportman van die Jaar. Dié agtsteman sê egter hy sou nie dié prestasie sonder sy span kon behaal het nie.
“Ek wil nog verder gaan met rugby. Ek wil vir die Kaapse Skiereiland Universiteit van Tegnologie (KSUT) rugby speel en eendag vir die Springbokke,” sê Wayden. Hy sê ook om vanjaar saam met sy vriende te kon speel was lekker, omdat almal mekaar reeds ken.
Die flank Angelo Adams (18) is as Speler van die Jaar aangewys. Hy sê hoewel hul afrigter die span soms ’n moeilike tyd op die veld gegee het, was dit alles die moeite werd. Aangesien Angelo nie meer as lid van die juniorspan kan speel nie, is sy plan om volgende jaar by Kylemore-rugbyklub se
o.20-span aan te sluit.
Volgens die afrigter Brian Jacobs was dit ’n goeie dog uitdagende jaar vir die klub.
“Die juniors is die grondslagfase vir die senior spanne. Indien daar nie juniors is nie, is daar uiteindelik nie ’n senior Kylemore-span nie. Hierdie kinders geniet dit om daar te speel. Ek leer hulle ook daar is nie iets soos ‘ek kan nie’ – ek sê jy kan.”
Die werk is vir die Kylemore-kinders se onthalwe en die enigste rede om die taak aan te pak, meen hy.
“Ons gemeenskap is baie anders. Indien hier nie sport is nie, sal die gemeenskap agteruit gaan, want ons hou die kinders van die strate af. Hulle sien uit om uiteindelik vir die dorpspan te speel en daarna dalk provinsiaal.”
Onder die klub se spelers was ’n handjie vol meisies. Dit was ’n aangename uitdaging om hulle as lid van die spanne te hê, in plaas daarvan om hulle net eenvoudig weg te wys.
“Ons moet aanpas en dit was ’n aanpassing om met die meisies te werk. Dit was ’n leerproses en hoe langer ons aanhou en met hulle werk, hoe beter raak dit,” meen Jacobs.
Die ander individuele toekennings het gegaan aan Zayron Links, Ashwill Heathcote, Naydon Adams, Quade Scheepers en Sergio Andries vir bevorderde spelers van die o.10-span. In die o.12-span was Jayden Janse, Quewin Jackson en Elyna Johnson die beste bevorderde spelers.
Die klub se top-voorspelers was Terin Jackons (o.12) en Angelo Adams (o.18).
Agterspelers van die jaar was Tyresse Ellen (o.12) en Cedick Booysen (o.18)

1. Introduction:
Notice is hereby given in terms of Regulations 32,33, 34 and 35 of the Asset Transfer regulations (ATR) of 22 August 2008 that Council is considering possible disposal of portions of Farm 528 and 529, Stellenbosch, formerly known as Mountain Breeze Caravan Park.
2. Background/ReasonsforproposedAwardingofRights
2.1 ExistingContractualarrangements
Stellenbosch Municipality and Stellenbosch Caravan Park CC concluded a long term lease agreement during 1992 for a period of 30 years up until 31 March 2021. This agreement was ceded to Mountain Breeze Caravan Park and after expiration of the agreement was extended on a month-to-month basis. The lease agreement was terminated on 30 June 2021 whereafter the Municipality took over the day-to-day upkeep of the premises, but closed it to the public. In March 2022 after receiving comments from the public Council resolved to go out on call for proposal to use the facilities for cycling, hiking groups, eco education and an adventure centre for school groups with overnight facilities. During October 2024 the administration reported back to Council that there are many difculties with implementing the Council resolution especially due to the services and zoning of the property On 30 October 2024 resolved as follows:
(a) that the Council resolutions taken on 2022-07-27 be reviewed and rescinded;
(b) that Portions 528 and 529C, Stellenbosch (also known as Mountain Breeze Caravan Park) be identied as land not needed for basic Municipal Services;
(c) that an information statement be prepared for approval by council to indicate Council's intention to sell the property on auction to the highest bidder and that the item and information statement returns to Council for approval of the information statement;

The land will be sold on auction and the municipality will set a reserve price that will not be less than the market value of the property As this will be an open bidding process the highest price will encourage competition. A nal decision by council will be taken after the auction to dispose of the property and council may at that stage decide not dispose of the property

Henning, Beyoung soar at Curro Centre Court Series
The third-seeded South African tennis player Philip Henning (24) cruised to an emphatic 6-4, 6-1 victory against the unseeded German Nino Ehrenschneider in the final of the Curro Centre Court Series at the Van der Stel courts on Sunday (8 December).
Despite local hopes that both the men’s and women’s South African singles players would secure titles, Jahnie van Zyl (15) succumbed to the fourthseeded South Korean Jeong Beyoung in the Women15 (W15) final. Jeong won a pulsating contest 6-2, 7-6 (7/5) thanks to her excellent retrieving qualities on a blistering day. Defensively she produced a masterclass during the 133 minutes in a match characterised by long eyecatching rallies against Van Zyl. The South African teen
sensation was broken four times during the first set but broke back on two occasions. In the fifth game, she hammered a blistering doublehanded backhand down the line to get back to 2-3.
She admitted that her first serve let her down on a few occasions.
“But this was still one of my greatest tournament achievements ever, as I beat the second seed Stephanie Visscher in the semi-finals and reached my first-ever ITF Futures Women15 (W15)-final,”
Van Zyl, now ranked 175th in the world on the ITF junior world rankings, says.
Van Zyl is an amazing shot maker whose splendid movement and five-star ground shots made her a crowd pleaser during the first week of the Curro Centre Court Series in
Stellenbosch.
Her movement during this attractive tussle from the back of the court was a bonus. She was almost never wrong-footed, and her superb ground strokes would have proven too much against most opponents at this level.
Meanwhile Henning needed 80 minutes to dispose of Ehrenschneider. He broke in the first game of the match and needed only the singular break to coast to the first set 6-4. In the second set Henning broke three times – in the third, fifth and seventh games.
The reason for his dominance was the way in which he blunted the power of the German’s first serve. He hardly faltered when returning, and when Ehrenschneider ventured to the net, he was passed or forced into an error.
Henning’s win was his second in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Futures in the Curro Centre Court series. “I have worked extremely hard to get more free points after I launch my first serve, and I have also tried to add more punch to my forehands this year,” Henning says. “It was great to win a second Curro Centre Court Series title, and my sixth Futures title overall, in 2024.”
In the doubles final, the Dutch fourth-seeded pair of Niels Lootsma and Niels Visker beat Germany’s Ehrenschneider and Yuta Kikuchi of Japan by 2-6, 6-3, 12/10 in a high-quality match characterised by superb reflex volleys and outrageous passing shots.
Sara Borkop of Denmark and Dune Vassaid of France edged the German duo of Luisa Hrda
and Yasmine Wanger 4-6, 6-1, 10-6 in the women’s doubles final.
“Curro is proud to partner with Tennis South Africa to sponsor and host this Centre Court Series,” said Jared Temlett, project manager for Curro Sport.
“We have hosted ITF Junior tournaments for top-ranking players from all over the world over the last few years. However, the Curro Centre Court Series expands our efforts, catering for professional players and offering significant prize purses.”
A total of 21 South African men and 20 women were in action in the tournament last week, and earned 84 WTA and ATP world ranking points in all. Of the 41 South Africans who competed, 28 were younger than 18 years old.

Die eerste span van die Van der Stelkrieketklub bevind hom boaan die punteleer van die Premierliga van Krieket Boland ná ’n oortuigende oorwinning oor die Robertsonkrieketklub die afgelope naweek.
Die spanne het Saterdag (7 Desember) in ’n 50-boulbeurtwedstryd op die Bergsig-krieketveld kragte gemeet, met die tuisspan wat ’n 150-lopie-sege behaal het. Robertson het die loot gewen en Van der Stel ingestuur om te kolf in ’n wedstryd wat weens ’n nat veld tot 38 boulbeurte verkort is.

13x4, 9x6) en Ruben de Bruin (61; 4x4). Net Leolin Davids (1/58) kon ’n paaltjie vir die span van die Langeberg laat kantel.
Die Van der Stel-boulers was in ’n vernietigende bui en het die Robertsonkolflys afgemaai deur hulle vir net 101 lopies in 29 boulbeurte uit te haal. Dit was veral Wynand Smit (4/24), Rayyaan Rhode (3/26) en JJ Lambrechts (2/17) wat uitstaande boulvertonings opgelewer het. . Intussen het die eerste span van die Stellenbosch-krieketklub homself ook aan die wenkant bevind toe hy Saterdag ’n drie-paaltjie-oorwinning oor die Paarl Oos-krieketklub in New Orleans behaal het.
Die besoekers het die loot gewen en eerste geboul, met die tuisspan wat 187/10 in 46.4 boulbeurte behaal het. Jevondré Jacobs (49; 3x4), Fernito Mehl
(36; 2x4) en Jevano Baron (27; 3x4, 1x6) was die top-lopiemakers vir Paarl Oos, terwyl Alveano Carolus (3/29), Christian Williams (2/30), Curt Oliver (2/42) en Bradley Jephtas (2/50) almal in die bouldepartement vir Stellenbosch handjie bygesit het.
Op hul beurt het die besoekers se kolwers op ’n kliniese manier die teiken benader en uiteindelik, met die telling op 188/7, in die 48ste boulbeurt die lyn oorgesteek. Morné de Vries (77; 4x4, 1x6) het van voor af met die kolf gelei en is goed deur Peter Cyster (25*; 1x4) ondersteun.
. Saterdag was die eerste span van die Coronations-krieketklub ook in aksie toe hy in ’n ligawedstryd teen die Wellington-krieketklub by die Pen Basson-ovaal te staan gekom het. Die wedstryd is ook weens ’n nat veld na 25 boulbeurte verkort.
Wellington het die loot gewen, besluit om eerste te kolf en 222/6 in sy 25 boulbeurte aangeteken. Junaid Cassiem (87*; 6x4, 3x6), Moshin Khan (38; 1x4),
Jacques Marais (34; 1x4), 4x6) en Steven Abrahams (25; 1x4) was die tuisspan se top-lopiemakers, terwyl Curtly Klaasen (2/33) en Keanu Williams (2/29) hul bes probeer het om Wellington te stuit. Op hul beurt het Chad Ayford (81; 5x4, 5x6) en Zemile Adams (51; 2x4, 3x6) vir die Pniëllers op koers gehou, maar hul pogings was verbete, met die telling wat ná 25 boulbeurte op 183/8 gestaan het en die besoekers wat met ’n tekort van 39 lopies die knie moes buig. Beon Swanepoel (3/27) en Roché du Plooy (2/40) was Wellington se beste boulers.
. Alle Krieket Boland-ligaverpligtinge word nou vir die feestyd gestaak, met spanne wat Saterdag 11 Januarie 2025 weer in aksie is. Al die spanne van die Stellenbosch-streek is dan weer terug op die veld.
