GREEN POINT

New home for global stone NOMZAMOYUKU @NomzamoYuku

T

he international Global Stone Project, which has been in the pipeline since 2016, will be housed at Green Point Urban Park, although a date for its installation has not been set yet.

The sculptured, polished and inscribed stone symbolises peace. The project originated in Berlin and so far the stone installation will be the only one of its kind in Africa. Other such stones can be found in Europe, Asia, America, and Australia.

Each stone has a name. The local one will be called Hope.

There were challenges identifying the right spot for the huge artwork project (“Between a rock and a hard place”, People’s Post, 19 December 2017).

Wolfgang Kraker von Schwarzenfeld, the Germanybased artist, explains that the stone is black granite and the same size as the one in Berlin.

Dave Bryant, councillor for ward 115, says: “I have been advised by the officials that they are waiting on final approvals after which a date can be set for the installation and unveiling.”

According to Bryant, the stone weighs 20 tons and requires a large public space.

“My predecessor submitted a proposal in 2016 to install the stone sculpture on the Sea Point Promenade. There was a lack of

Cape Town will be the only City in Africa to host a Global Stone Project.

The plans for installation and unveiling of the stone in Green Point Urban Park are under way.

support for the proposed location and it was not supported by the local ratepayers’ association or the City’s Heritage department.”

Bryant says he prioritised it when he took over as ward councillor and found the park was suggested as an alternative.

“The administrative process was then started to finalise the handover and installation. This took longer than anticipated.”

He says the artwork promotes peace and unity among the people of the world and has previously been supported by Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu.

There is no cost to the City of Cape Town as the artwork has been donated.

Elizabeth Knight, co-chairperson of the Green Point Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association (GPRRA), admits that getting authorisation for the installation in the park was a lengthy process.

She says, although, GPRRA supports the project, the association has stated that in the event of damage, the City should not be held responsible and that the stone’s surface should not be reflective.

Knight says they hope the installation will take place soon.

“There is some urgency as we anticipate that Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the artist, both in poor health, will place the last stone in our park,” she says.

he winner of the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) #Cableway90 Win A Trip to Istanbul competition will enjoy a week-long getaway to Turkey next year.

Charmaine de Swardt, the owner of CDS Cleaning Services, was named as the overall winner of the competition which kicked off on Friday 4 October and closed on Friday 1 November. The competition was run

by TMACC in partnership with Turkish Airlines.

Charmaine entered the contest when she took advantage of TMACC’s 90th birthday ticket-offer of R90 in October to treat her staff to a day at the top of Table Mountain.

Little did she know she would also get to take her husband, Peter, on a fully-paid trip to Istanbul. Charmaine, a Gordon’s Bay resident, was watching rugby when she received a call, saying she had won the competition.

Mayor’s high tea for elders

‘Keep your serial numbers safe’ NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

T

he public is advised to be careful when buying or selling electronic devices and safely keep the serial numbers.

Sgt Clifford Saunders, the designated second-hand goods officer at the Cape Town Central police station, says the police have noted that people are reckless with their serial numbers and do not include them when reporting stolen items to the police.

His unit works closely with the secondhand shops. He says Cape Town Central comprises 140 registered second-hand dealerships. They deal in cars, jewellery, cellphones and scrap metals, but some are auctioneers or pawnbrokers. He says during the inspections he realised that most items were not reported as stolen even though the records failed to provide the original owner’s details. Saunders says this made him suspicious.

The event is hosted by Dan Plato, the mayor of the City of Cape Town.

He says the aim of the tea is to make it Senior residents from around the Sea Point easier for the senior citizens to engage with area are invited to a high tea that will take him without having to travel out of their place at the Sea Point Civic Centre tomor- neighbourhoods. row, Wednesday 13 November from 14:00 to “The purpose of the high tea is to engage 16:00. with senior citizens about the services offered by the City of Cape Town, what we are doing right, and what we can do better,” says Plato.

According to Plato the high tea will be held in line with other similar programmes hosted across the city where he interacts with citizens.

He says this is part of his open-door policy.

“Attendees will also be given an opportunity to engage with the mayor, some of the Mayco members and city officials about our services. The basket of City services will be explained, and a safety demonstration will be provided by the poDan Plato PHOTO: NOMZAMO YUKU lice,” Plato says.

Saunders says serial numbers help with investigations and to recover the item should it be found sold at a second-hand shop. He advises that keeping a serial number safe can be done by either taking photos of serial numbers or writing them down.

This applies to all electronic items bought at a value of more than R100. He says though it helps mostly with recovery. He says even when selling to second-hand shops this is crucial as the sellers are required to obtain the seller and buyer’s details including copies of identity books, addresses and serial numbers in case the item has to be traced back to anyone. He also says there are stolen items that the police manage to recover, but fail to identify the owners because serial numbers were not included while reporting them missing.

“Stolen items can only be detected by testing items on their serial numbers. People do not know how important this is. As a result, we end up with a lot of unclaimed items at the station,” says Saunders.

Saunders also warns second-hand shop owners to make sure they are registered and operate legally to avoid conflict with the law.

He says registration helps combat the trading of stolen items.

Explaining the application process, Saunders says: . An applicant must be a South African citizen or have permanent residency or a valid work permit. . The registration must be done in the presence of a police officer at the applicant’s commercial property. . The applicant cannot have a criminal record.

This can be done by calling the City’s call centre and report any form of dumping. Callers are advised to try to get details such as an offender’s vehicle registration number or their identity where possible.

Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg, says despite the development of extensive infrastructure such as the establishment of drop-off facilities, legislation supporting waste disposal plans, and processes to curb illegal dumping, the problem persists.

Limberg says there are approximately 1 000 dumping hotspots across the city, however, the amount of dumping still exceeds the annual budget of R110 million allocated for clearing of illegal dumping hotspots.

She adds this could change if residents help to identify offenders and make sure “they are brought to book”.

Limberg says a person found to be dumping waste illegally can be issued a section 56 written notice and be fined R5 000 and have their vehicle impounded.

“The dumper is also liable for an impoundment release fee of R8 426 before they can reclaim their vehicle,” Limberg says.

She also encourages businessmen and food outlets to apply for extra bins and more frequent collections.

“Areas in which high volumes of food waste are present are unfortunately very attractive to vermin,” Limberg adds.

Don’t miss Sleepathon Luke Kruyt with a puppy in need of vaccinations from Hillview.PHOTO: RACINE EDWARDES

RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

T

he annual Tears Sleepathon is a not-to-be-missed event that allows animal-lovers to get involved with the rescue, sterilisation and support of homeless dogs and cats, or those in impoverished areas.

The Emma Animal Rescue Society (Tears) is an animal welfare organisation that homes, provides sanctuary for and sees to the medical needs of dogs and cats in Vrygrond, Redhill, Ocean View and Masiphumelele.

The Sleepathon will be held on three consecutive Saturdays – 16, 23 and 30 November – at the Tears Animal Rescue shelter in Sunnydale. During the event, participants will get to curl up next to a homeless hound or cute kitty for the night, make them feel loved and also enjoy an evening of festivities.

The aim of the event, according to the organisation’s marketing coordinator Luke Kruyt, is fourfold.

“It’s to raise awareness, raise money – because we desperately need it – find homes for dogs and cats, and we’re always looking for volunteers,” he says, adding that the more volunteers the Tears shelter, hospital and veterinary clinic has, the more animals it can take

care of.

Tickets to participate in the furry fun cost R200 per person and can be bought online. Entrants can sign up as individuals, a corporate team, or as a family or group of friends. Once tickets have been purchased, a welcome pack will be emailed to recipients who are then tasked to raise funds – either through social media, by pledging donations or through the sale of goodies – in support of three causes at Tears.

“There’s the rescue, rehab and rehome cause – that’s for the shelter and rescue dogs, and making sure they get all the veterinary care they need to become well-rounded and get homed. The other cause is to help to offer free sterilisations in the communities we work in. And the last is to support the welfare and mobile dog clinics which offer subsidised veterinary care,” explained Kruyt. Last year the shelter was able to raise more than R500 000 (which was highly appreciated) but its monthly running costs are currently standing at more than R1 million, due to the fact that it services communities who can’t afford the care their animals need. This year, Tears is hoping to generate even more money with the help of the “pawsome” fundraisers.

On the day they’ve booked, partici-

pants will check in at 17:00 at the shelter where they will receive much more than just 14 hours with man’s best friends. A statement on the event read: “Sleepathoners will enjoy a festive evening of celebration, live music and socialising in a chilled and comfortable space. One of three gourmet plantbased meals, hot cocoa and s’more kits are on the menu for dinner and everyone is encouraged to bring sleeping bags and camping gear, as well as snacks and treats to make their sleepover as memorable as possible.”

Participants will be able to choose a special fur baby they feel a connection with, or they will be allocated one.

According to Kruyt, the cattery can accommodate about 15 to 20 people and the dog kennels can take about 80 to 90; adding up to about 360 people who can participate over the three Saturdays.

The only downside, according to Kruyt, is saying goodbye at 07:00.

“It’s very emotional in the morning,” he said. All funds raised will be used to assist the shelter with its various programmes. “The more funds you raise, the more animals you will help,” the Tears’s statement read.

Learner firefighters join City’s Fire and Rescue services A total of 51 firefighters will join the ranks of the City’s fire and rescue services following the completion of their eight-month training recently.

“Firefighters must undergo hours of training and prove their proficiency, which is by no means easy. Our new firefighters can be very proud of their achievements and for joining the fire and rescue service,” says Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith.

Firefighters control and extinguish fires, respond to emergency situations and primarily protect people, the environment and property from accidents and emergencies.

“Our firefighters work closely with the local community to increase fire safety awareness in order to help prevent fires and accidents from happening in the first place,” says Smith.

The group had to pass a tough physical assessment, followed by interviews and then eight months of training in various modules including Firefighter 1, Hazardous Materials Awareness and First-Aid Level 3.

At their graduation ceremony in Epping, the new firefighters were presented with their rank and badge, with the former pinned to the corners of their shirt collars and the badge above the left shirt pocket. They are now permanent members of staff and will be deployed to various fire stations across the

metropole.

New recruit, Nomvuyiseko Lungile from Khayelitsha said the path to becoming a firefighter wasn’t easy, but she did it to serve her community and to help protect lives and property.

Dane Smidt was a seasonal firefighter for five years before becoming a learner firefighter.

“I became a firefighter mainly to serve my

community and show care for others,” he says.

The summer season is traditionally the service’s busiest time of year and will put the new firefighters through their paces and test their newly-acquired skills. The fire and rescue service noted a near 9% increase in vegetation fires year-on-year, between 2018 and 2019. This, in turn, increased the overall number of fires that firefighters responded to –

A total of 51 firefighters earned their badges and will join the City’s fire and rescue service.

just over 70% of all fires are vegetation fires.

“Summer is the fun, holiday season and at the same time, we want to urge residents to act responsibly as it’s also the time there are high demands on our firefighters. Saving lives and property are their priority and I am confident our firefighters are able to step up to the plate. Added to our efforts is that we’ll soon deploy our team of seasonal firefighters,” says Smith.

Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith congratulates one of the graduates.

Applications for NGO Grant-in-aid extended The City of Cape Town has extended the application period for public benefit organisations (PBOs) and non-profit organisations (NPOs) to apply for grants-in-aid until 20 January 2020.

By applying for this financial assistance these organisations can continue to receive assistance for the current financial year after changes to national legislation limited the options available to the City to give rates rebates.

The City has thus found a way to help these organisations despite the nationally mandated amendments.

Amendments to the local government: municipal property rates act necessitated a substantial change to the City’s Rates Policy to bring it in line with the amendments.

In terms of the amendments to the Local Government: Municipal Property Rates Act, the City was required to institute new property categories and align its rebates, reductions and exemptions to the amended national legislation. The amendments were implemented simultaneously with a new General Valuation 2018 Roll, which came into effect on Friday 1 July. . Previously, generous relief was granted, particularly to PBOs and NPOs. Unfortunately, how the rates rebates for these organisations was traditionally assessed and granted is no longer permitted due to the changes in legislation. . The City has, therefore, identified the grant-in-aid process as a mechanism to continue providing fi-

nancial relief to the affected organisations. A dedicated amount has been budgeted for additional grantsin-aid.

PBOs and NPOs within the City’s boundaries are encouraged to take advantage of the extension and to apply, irrespective of whether they fall within the new properties owned by PBO and used for specified public benefit activities property category or not.

“The City will continue to provide assistance where it can, despite these nationally mandated amendments. It was, therefore, important to extend the application period to ensure as many of these organisation as possible have the opportunity to apply for financial assistance,” says Mayco member for finance, Ian Neilson. “Due to the critical and important work that they do, we feel that it is essential to continue providing support to PBOs and NPOs. Their contribution to the well-being of our city and its people is invaluable and they can rely on our continued support. We have identified grants-in-aid as an alternative option to continue providing support and I would like to encourage these organisations to make use of the application period extension and to apply.”

The grant-in-aid process is different from the rates rebate application process, and information on how to go about the grant-in-aid application can be accessed on the City’s Get Grants-in-Aid funding website: https://www.capetown.gov.za/

tarting out in a basement in Kommetjie, Diamond Thug has continued to create their unique brand of “intelligent and creative electronic music” since its formation in 2012. And this December they will take to the Parklife stage to immerse fans in The Woods and beyond.

The band members Danilo Querios, Teddy Buxton, Adrian Culhane and Chanel Van T hail from South Africa’s two major cities, Johannesburg and Cape Town. They began making music in Chanel’s basement, played their first gigs in 2013 and, later that year, took off on their first tour.

Now, six years later, they have been touring the world and that has made for some great inspiration.

According to Chanel, her time in the French Alps was able to elicit the right emotions to create their new single, The Woods.

“The words speak of a sense of isolation while being in the wilderness,” she says,

adding the single was recorded a few months ago after their European tour.

Telling the love story in The Woods is not all they’ve had on their plate recently – they’re cooking up something new to impress audiences.

“We are getting giddy and excited about a few demo tracks. It’s sort of like the toddler phase of these songs. We’ll be prepping some of these new songs of ours to play for the first time (at Parklife).”

Chanel says they’re looking forward to being seaside on Sunday 1 December at the Parklife Gourmet Food and Music Festival and to sharing the stage with such a unique line-up.

“All the artists performing are talented and successful in each of their individual niches and we are excited to watch each of them – it’s great to see everyone on the same stage.”

She adds: “I think I’m personally most excited to watch Sons of The East as I was lucky enough to watch them in Madrid a few months ago.

“I did not know their music then and they had an incredible stage presence. I look forward to seeing them play to a South African crowd.”

The food and music festival will take place at Muizenberg Park in Cape Town with performers Jeremy Loops, Matthew Mole, Sons of the East (Australia), Sean Koch and Diamond Thug taking to the stage to entertain audiences.

Tickets are R295 for adults, R195 for under 18s and children aged six and under can enter free.

Breathe in... exhale... and relax Local multimedia artist Karen Wykerd will open her solo exhibition, Exhale, this November at The Studio Art Gallery in Simon’s Town.

In a departure from her usual subject matter, Wykerd leaves the busy streets of the city behind to explore the abundance of nature around Cape Town: capturing calm spaces where you can take a moment to exhale and let out the stresses of your daily life.

She explores the moments spent picturing the warmth of the sun, its light glimmering through the leaves; the feel of water on her skin; the sound of wind rustling through branches and waves sighing on to the shore.

In Exhale, a selection of paintings on canvas, wooden blocks and hand-marbled paper will be showcased. The process is an im-

portant part of the body of work, with elements of chance at play, acknowledging the necessity of exploring the unfamiliar to gain insight.

This tranquil collection of works uses Wykerd’s recognisable translucent washes of colour around figures swimming, strolling and floating to create scenes of immersion in nature. The dreamily indistinct backgrounds and tranquil colour palette combine to give the viewers of her works moments of rest and reflection where they can be reacquainted with nature, and themselves.

The exhibition will run from Thursday 14 to Wednesday 27 November, with the official opening taking place on Saturday 16 November at 15:00.

he Cape Town Society of Model and Experimental Engineers will be hosting its open day from Saturday 16 to Sunday 17 November.

The club is situated in Rondebosch on the corners of Erin, Duke and Campground roads in Croquet Lane behind the Rondebosch Croquet Club. The club has members from areas including Fish Hoek, Tafelsig, Bothasig, Vredehoek, Parow, Milnerton and the broader Cape Town area. The club offers members an opportunity to learn basic engineering skills including basic electronics, track construction and soldering techniques.

Andre van Breda, club chair, says the club has grown considerably in the last few years.

“This used to be a hobby for older people, now we see a lot more youngsters joining. We have one boy who joined us after visiting last year’s open day. He and his mother came to see what the club was about. He is 14-years-old and he comes to meetings every Wednesday,” says Van Breda.

There are also members in their early 20s.

“The workshop is a hive of activity. We gained so many members in the last four to five years that we needed to buy more equipment,” he says. “I am a firm believer in getting the youngsters involved because when I am no longer here, I need to have passed my knowledge on.”

The club will be open to the public from 09:00 to 16:00. Entrance fees are R20 per adult and R10 per child. Children under the age of six enter free. The money raised will be used for maintenance of the clubhouse and to fund the various sections of the club with their projects. “We also support some of the pensioners who are part of the club and can’t afford their subs. With the fundraisers we subsidise their

membership fees. Because we are leasing a building from the municipality, we need to maintain it. Other funds raised go toward projects at the club,” says Van Breda.

One of the biggest attractions each year is the model train rides. Children will be able to ride the 5inch gauge live steam engine and

parents are welcome to join in. Tickets will cost R5 per child. The rides will be available from 09:00 to 12:00, then 13:30 to 15:30. This allows for maintenance of the locomotives.

Model trains and cars will also be on display at the event with several locomotives and tracks in operation. There will also be a dis-

play on how toy soldiers and cannons are made which will be available for sale. Club magazines and books on display will be sold at bargain prices. Refreshments will also be sold on site.

Train rides are always an attraction at the Cape Town Society of Model and Experimental Engineers open days.

Experience Extraordinary Cape Town International Convention Centre

10 NEWS City one of world’s most beautiful Cape Town has come in at number seven on Flight Network’s list of the World’s Most Beautiful Cities for 2019. The list of 50 best cities in the world was compiled

by Flight Network, a Canadian online travel agency.

Cape Town remains one of the most beautiful cities in the eyes of the world, with much to offer visitors to our wonderful city. We are humbled that Cape Town has been named as the best location on the continent and hope that travellers continue to see Cape Town as a must-see destination.

More than 300 000 job opportunities are supported by the local tourism industry so accolades such as these are important in sustaining the interest from the international community that continues to contribute towards job creation. The tourism sector has the biggest growth potential, and awards like these are necessary in helping to support our tourism stakeholders.

According to the list, the top 10 most beautiful cities in the world are: Paris (France), New York (USA), London (England), Venice (Italy), Vancouver (Canada), Barcelona (Spain), Cape Town (South Africa), San Francisco (USA), Sydney (Australia) and Rome (Italy).

The reviews and opinions of more than 1 000 travel writers, bloggers and travel agencies from all across the globe form the basis of the list. The only other African city to make the list is Marrakech (Morocco), which comes in at number 46.

Cape Town is also competing in three categories in the World Travel Awards.

Cape Town is currently the holder of the World’s Leading Festival and Events Destination title. Cape Town was again voted Africa’s Leading Festival and Events Destination for the second consecutive time at the recent Africa and Indian Ocean World Travel Awards in June this year. Table Mountain won the title of Africa’s Leading Tourist Attraction and Cape Town International Airport won Africa’s Leading Airport.

All three contenders are up for the prestigious world titles at the 2019 World Travel Awards. The voting period closed on Sunday (10 November) and the winners will be announced in Oman (Middle East) on Thursday 28 November.

We can play our part in public safety Crime statistics recently released by Police Minister Bheki Cele should serve as a reminder to remain vigilant.

We need to be prepared to encounter an element of criminal activity when we leave our homes. The brave men and women of the SAPS are doing their best to arrest criminals and prevent crime, but you and I can also make a difference.

Public spaces carry a range of safety challenges. These include parking garages, parks, shopping centres, and other places where large groups of people provide easy cover for would-be criminals. In public spaces you should leave the expensive items such as jewels at home; if you have a daily walking schedule to and from the mall, vary it often so that your movement does not become predictable. If someone stops you to ask for assistance, keep a safe distance and keep an eye on movement around you.

Avoid drawing money from an ATM late at night, and if it is urgent rather consider going to an ATM in a well-lit space where a security officer is on duty.

Leave the headphones at home. Anything that causes distraction is to be avoided. There is safety in numbers.

Take a friend with you, so that you can look out for each other.

Taxi challenges examined at workshop In an effort to resolve challenges facing the taxi industry, I held an intergovernmental workshop on public transport with the City of Cape Town.

The workshop follows my commitment after a meeting with the leadership of the South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) last month where we addressed challenges facing the taxi industry.

These challenges include the issuing of operating licences for minibus taxis, metre taxis and the issue of identification of e-hailing.

In preparation for a formal consultation

with the taxi industry, the province and the City clarified processes and procedures around the issuing of operating licences and other related matters.

Considerable progress was made which will enable me to take the matter forward with the taxi industry.

I am committed to finding amicable solutions within the ambit of the law to ensure that people are transported to work safely and improve efficiency in the minibus-taxi industry which contributes massively to our economy.

Musical’s message encourages youth to make positive choices This weekend I took 350 youth from areas across Cape Town to see the David Kramer musical, Danger In The Dark.

The message of this musical has important lessons for the youth of today, especially those living in communities where crime and violence are challenges.

Danger In The Dark remains relevant as it covers themes of domestic violence, gangsterism and drug abuse. There are many city programmes which work to address these challenges and we hope that the youngsters who see this show will be inspired to make positive choices in their life, be aware of the dangers of making the wrong choices, and instead work hard to succeed at their schooling

and life.

David Kramer’s Danger in the Dark is a rework of the hit musical Poison, which he and the late Taliep Petersen wrote in the 1990s.

The story takes place in 1995 on the Cape Flats when Pamela meets up with Juanita, a friend from her school days.

She realises that Juanita is trapped in an abusive relationship with a drug lord and she is determined to help her friend leave. Pamela is drawn into dark and dangerous places and situations, yet she pursues against all odds for the safety and survival of her friend.

One of the ways the City of Cape Town is addressing substance abuse is through

the Matrix programme. The City has recently opened its eighth clinic in Scottsdene, Kraaifontein. The other sites are Tafelsig; Albow Gardens; Delft South; Town 2, Khayelitsha; Parkwood; Ruimte Road, Manenberg and Eerste River.

For the last financial year, 2 258 screenings were conducted at the City’s matrix sites with the clean drug test rate for clients at 83% during the same period. The treatment is free of charge.

Those struggling with substance abuse can access help. Please contact 021 444 8444 or email: matrix@capetown.gov.za.

Timmy Hansen of Sweden in action in the final.

Red-hot action excites fans R

ed-hot action filled the track at the Killarney International Speedway at the weekend with the final and deciding round of the World Rallycross (World RX) championship.

In the end, Sweden’s Timmy Hansen was crowned as champion on account of a count-back of wins over Norway’s Andreas Bakkerud.

The Cape Town crowd was treated to a spectacular and bruising season finale as the two ended on even points, with Bakkerud second in the race behind winner Niclas Grönholm and Hansen in fourth behind Timur Timerzianov after 60 races in 10 countries on four continents throughout the year.

Timmy (Peugeot) arrived in Cape Town just a single world championship point clear of title rival Bakkerud (Audi) and younger Hansen brother and teammate Kevin another five points back in third.

After the qualifying rounds and semi-finals, Timmy’s championship lead was only two points, with just the final left to race and eight points on the table.

Timmy started the final from pole position from Bakkerud, Grönholm, Kevin, Timur Timerzianov and Timo Scheider as the

top six lined up two-by-two to decide the world championship over six scintillating laps in sweltering heat to the backdrop of Table Mountain.

Bakkerud made a perfect start to lead from a combative Timmy, but the three world championship contenders became embroiled in a controversial incident, when Timmy made a move on Bakkerud and the two tangled and went off as Kevin also went off in avoidance at the bottom hairpin.

The upshot was that Grönholm led the way from the recovered Bakkerud, Timerzianov and the similarly recovered Timmy, who had made quick work of a struggling Scheider to take a vital fourth place.

Kevin then had a second spectacular incident at the same corner where he, his brother and Bakkerud had collided on the opening lap, as Grönholm led a disgruntled Bakkerud, Timerzianov and a limping Kevin home after Scheider ground to a halt.

“It sounds fantastic — almost unreal that you call me world champion,” Timmy responded to a question on his taking the title.

“I am super happy for the sport - the last race with everything on the line was nervewrecking, but I kept focussing and deliv-

ered a strong performance race by race through the weekend — there was no room for error — not the smallest mistake.

“I know Andreas is upset,” said Timmy. referring to the final race incident.

“I went for the inside, it was a hard move and it still needs to be investigated, but this season is the best in my career with four race wins and now the title — it’s a dream come true and I am so happy for the team — we are first and third in the drivers title with Kevin and me and we are makers champions too — the car has been brilliant every race. I still can’t yet take it in!”

“I am proud of myself — I won the battle today — the best reaction at the start to lead away,” Bakkerud admitted.

“But unfortunately I will not comment more after what happened and I just want to say huge thanks to my team and our sponsor and to everyone else — especially Cape Town — it was fantastic as always — Thank you South Africa. For the rest, right now I don’t really care.”

In other action, Swede Oliver Eriksson delivered a dominant RX2 victory over Jamaican Fraser McConnell and Sami-Matti Trogen, to wrap up that title over Ben-Philip Gundersen, who pipped Jesse Kallio to

the title second, while Zak Groenewald took local BMW E36 Cup honours.

Also Shaun Cope won the front-wheel drive class in his VW Golf and rally lass Megan Verlaque took Speedcar buggy honours.

Locals like Saadiqah Alexander of Belgravia lapped up the action.

“The family is all into drifting, that’s how we grew up. My father has a Honda S2000 and a Nissan 350Z, so we are into cars. We always come watch. So we have been here a couple of times.

We just watched all the rallies, we liked the BMWs,” she said.

South African motorsport legend Sarel van der Merwe was also in attendance: “It is wonderful having a world championship in South Africa in motorsport. I think it is the most exciting form of motorsport anyway, because there are so many good drivers,” he said, adding that he wished World RX was around during his competitive racing days, and implored locals to keep supporting the event in the future.

“They should just know that it is one of the most exciting events in the country, so I don’t know why they just don’t pitch up.”
