Artists help dreamers
ASTRID FEBRUARIE @FebAstrid

n an effort to uplift the youth in Wynberg a group of youngsters has established an organisation to help their peers reach their dreams. Their art movement, Dreamers, is based on creating a platform for artists around Cape Town to showcase their talent to other artists and the public. One of the founding members, Jonathan Mbwambu, says the movement was established late last year to ensure they could get as many youth involved during the festive season. “Although we are not registered yet, we are currently in the process of finalising the

registration. We have got a lot of support from the community,” he says. Mbwambu and four of his friends, of whom one is from Grassy Park, are all part of a music organisation called Best Belive Group Cape Town. Together they came up with the name and the objective of starting up an organisation specifically looking at the artistic talents of the youth. “We each personally enjoy various forms of art, like music, dancing and singing, and we thought we should use our skills to get the youth in the community active, but in a positive manner,” he says. The organisation currently involves people who work with different platforms – from musicians, designers, photographers, beat boxers, producers, DJs and skaters to danc-

take part in competitions in the city, nationally or internationally. “We call on each and everyone in the community to support our movement, to become part of it and help to develop the youth in our city to ensure they can reach their goals,” he says. Mbwambu believes that if they can change the mindset of youngsters they can change the mindset of adults. “Everyone is a dreamer, regardless of age, race or size. Many people give up on their dreams without a fight; we believe we can keep it going. We aid dreamers with potential and encourage others to work harder.” Anyone interested in joining the art movement or to find out more about Dreamers can contact Mbwambu on 074 045 7959.

ers. And they are willing to expand to more talent fields. “We created the group to uplift people and help them develop in their specific art form,” Mbwambu says. The group also want to get the youth to join in and attend events organised by the founders where they get to showcase their talents and learn new skills. “The walk is used to get people together (fans) and show them the talent hidden in Cape Town, as we want to reach every youngster from each corner of the city to show them that everyone is trying to reach the same goal and that we as ‘dreamers’ can’t get there alone,” he says. Through the events the founders hope to raise funds to help youngsters who want to

DISRUPTION OF WATER SUPPLY: ZWAANSWYK AND STEENBERG ESTATE Wednesday 3 February 2016 The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero pressure test on the water supply feeding the Zwaanswyk Lower water supply zone on Wednesday 3 February 2016. This will result in the disruption of the water supply to Zwaanswyk and Steenberg Estate from 22:00 until 04:00 the following morning. The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in the affected areas. For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided into reticulation zones which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the large network. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and will significantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses. Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period. The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

Hout Bay cyclists boosted by heroes S
porting heroes have joined forces to communicate the power of sport in disadvantaged communities. One such organisation is the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation in South Africa. And one of the organisations it is helping is a local non-profit organisation, the Hout Bay Cycling Club, formed to give disadvantaged youth in Imizamo Yethu an opportunity to learn cycling, bicycle maintenance, road discipline and courtesy to others. With funding from Laureus, the club has been able to combat issues such as substance abuse and gangsterism, both of which are rife in the community. Yibenathi Ncedana, a rider at the club, says: “The club has also taught me about the importance of self-development and the need to contribute to the growth of others. Inviting riders from Hangberg into the club has also enabled us to know and respect one another more.”

Brett Graham, business development and marketing manager for the Laureus Foundation, says the organisation’s year-round work, both locally and abroad, focuses on harnessing the power of sport to actively help communities facing different challenges and ultimately all in need of upliftment. “The key to our success, though, is the support of our academy members and sporting ambassadors as well as the calendar of events that we host throughout the year, to not only raise funds for our projects, but also to raise awareness of the work we do,” Graham says. One such event is the Laureus Polo Cup presented with Mercedes-Benz, which takes place at Val de Vie Estate in the Winelands on Saturday. All funds raised will benefit the work of the foundation in South Africa. For more information call the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation on 021 659 5610 or visit www.laureus.co.za.

Three arrested after break-in W
ynberg police arrested three suspects linked to a house robbery in Constan-
tia. The suspects were arrested less than a week after the robbery occurred in Klaasens Road on Sunday 3 January at about 05:00. Lieutenant Ntomboxolo Ntombi Nqunqeka, spokesperson of Wynberg police station, says the victim was sleeping when he heard the dogs barking. When he got up and looked through the window he saw a man running. “He then went to the front door, opened it and went outside to investigate. He was approached by three men who demanded money, his laptop, cellphone and jewellery,” she says.
Finger cut open One of the suspects was carrying a small black and silver kitchen knife and used this to cut the victim’s finger while they were trying to remove a ring from his finger. The suspects took a flat screen TV, Dell laptop, hard drive, HTC Wild Fire cellphone, wallet, UK driver’s licence, R10 000 cash and cash in US dollars. Nqunqeka says an investigation was done. Police received information that a suspect lived in Overcome Heights. On the Thursday morning after the rob-
bery police visited the address provided. “The suspect was arrested. The suspect mentioned another two suspects and he went to point them out. All three were arrested,” she says. Many of the items stolen were recovered in their possession. Through further investigation some of the suspects were linked to another house break-in that had taken place in Diep River. The suspects have appeared in Wynberg Magistrates’ Court.
Garden robbery During a separate incident a man was robbed of his jewellery and other valuables while he was at home in Brommersvlei Road in Constantia on Saturday 2 January at about 19:20. “The owner of the house was sitting in the garden when two men came to the house. He thought they were the clients he was waiting for. One pointed at him with a firearm and said that he had to give his watch and ring,” says Nqunqeka. The robbers took other items as well as his credit card, shoes, ID and car keys to the value of R149 000. They fled in a white car with an unknown registration number. Nqunqeka says the victim was not injured in the robbery. No arrests have been made, but the investigation is underway.
Students fall for rental scam Students have been warned to be alert following an accommodation scam on an online advertising site. Wynberg police cluster spokesperson Captain Angie Latchman says in the scam students have been required to pay a deposit to secure a room or flat advertised on Gumtree. But after paying, the student is unable to reach the person who advertised the flat. “Once the money is deposited into the bank account, the student can no longer reach the person to confirm the accommodation or to collect the keys to the property, via the contact details given,” she explains. “Students who fall prey to this scam are generally those outside the province. The police are making a special plea to all students

were confiscated: 27 parcels of dagga, 60 stoppe of dagga, two dagga cigarettes, a black bag containing dagga and a bottleneck with dagga. Money was also handed in as evidence. “Police also depend on the cooperation of and information sharing by the community,” Lesch says. Interaction between private security providers and police led to a decrease in house burglaries and theft out of cars during the start of the new year. Meanwhile, shebeen operations will also continue in the area, she says. During last week four shebeen operations were conducted in Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg. Almost 2000F of alcohol was confiscated. Lesch adds that one arrest was made for possession of stolen goods on Tuesday last week. A suspect was found in possession of a laptop and a camera. He appeared in the Wynberg Magistrates’ Court on the following day.

If cops search, they find Random searches by Hout Bay police led to six arrests for possession of drugs last week. Warrant Officer Tanya Lesch, spokesperson of Hout Bay police, says various drugs were confiscated during the arrests, including dagga, mandrax and one packet of tik. Lesch says two arrests were made for possession of dangerous weapons when two knives were confiscated. “Daily operations with seven crime prevention members were conducted during the week of Tuesday 12 to Monday 18 January. “Information was received from the community and it was followed up by police,” she says. Lesch says more operations of this kind will continue to reduce crime in the area. During the crime prevention operations houses were searched. During these searches two arrests for possession of drugs were made. The following drugs
and tertiary education facilities to take note of this scam in order to avoid becoming victims of this type of crime.” Latchman suggests taking precautions when looking to rent properties, such as requesting the landlord’s ID or renting through an established letting agent. She also advises using trusted websites when searching for accommodation. “Never pay money upfront for anything, until you are certain that the landlord or letting agent are who they say they are, and are reputable. Be vigilant of emails in broken English, whether you are a prospective renter or landlord. It can be worth typing the name at the end of the email in Google. Quite often, scam artists are exposed there.”

Space in bike race for riders who care A
FUN DAY AFTER FIRES: Twenty children from communities which have been hit by
informal dwelling fires recently had a special outing last week. The children, 10 from Imizamo Yethu and 10 from Masiphumelele, met sporting heroes from Ajax Cape Town, the Cape Cobras and the Stormers. They participated in activities at GrandWest, including having a meal, ice skating, seeing a movie and playing in the arcade. The children were hosted by Transception and GrandWest for the fun-filled day on Wednesday last week. PHOTO: CARINA ROUX
Soup kitchens need help Soup kitchens in Capricorn and Lavender Hill are in need of donations. The soup kitchens, which run twice a week, help more than 350 adults and children, explains volunteer Richard Saner. “For them, standing in the queue for a nutritious cup of soup and a slice of bread is worth it, as it is their only healthy meal that week,” he says. The volunteers also provide a safe space for children, who come early to colour in or listen to music and stories.
The soup kitchens are in need of help – either through volunteers’ time or donations of carrots, potatoes, butternut, turnips, celery, stock cubes, soup mix, lentils, onions and oranges. A collection box is also available at the Tokai library. “We are experiencing difficulties during this harsh economic climate in securing funds and items for the regular running of the soup kitchens,” he says. V For more information, or to donate, email Saner on richard.wwip@gmail.com.
local organisation that helps foster children is offering tickets to a local bicycle race to those who want to ride for a cause. The Cape Town Cycle Tour (CTCT) is one of the world’s most popular bike races. Entries for the race are limited and each year cyclists scramble to get spots. Home from Home has a number of these sought-after entry spots available for riders who are eager to take part in the iconic tour, while raising funds for a worthy cause. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to raise funds for our homes in this way,” says Pippa Shaper, Home from Home’s development director. “All the funds raised via the CTCT go directly to providing for the children and families in our network,” she says. Home from Home is a registered child protection agency and cluster foster care scheme that places vulnerable children in supervised, community-based family homes in the Western Cape. “The children we work with come from a background of abuse, neglect, poverty and poor health,” Shaper explains. The agency has grown over the last 10 years from a handful of homes in Khayelitsha to over 30 homes across the Western Cape. Largely funded by donors, all money raised goes directly towards ensuring all children and foster families are supported and their homes maintained. The agency has secured 40 entries to the CTCT that are open to local and international cyclists, who will be riding to raise funds for this cause. To become a part of the Unitrans Home from Home CTCT team, participants need to pay only the standard CTCT entry fee of R700 to receive an entry and a Home from Home cycling shirt. The organisation doesn’t add additional fees onto the standard race fee,
Xolani Maseko and James Fernie are members of the Unitrans Home from Home team who will race in the Cape Town Cycle Tour. but encourages cyclists to raise as much funds for the cause as possible through personal and professional networks.
Race weekend The Home from Home programme for the weekend will start on Friday 4 March with a tour of eight homes and crèches in Khayelitsha to give riders the chance to meet some of the families who will benefit from the funds raised. This will be followed by wine tasting at the Constantia Glen vineyard. On Saturday 5 March riders will visit the Cape Town Cycle Tour expo before riding the tour on Sunday 6 March. In the evening the riders will gather for a braai. On Monday 7 March there will be another opportunity to visit Home from Home foster homes. Should you wish to secure a place on this year’s Unitrans Home from Home team, email Kimberly Park on info@homefromhome.org.za before Thursday.

Donate milk for babies I
n the high-tech world of the modern neonatal ICU there is no substitute for breast milk. When a vulnerable baby’s mother is unable to supply breast milk, donated breast milk can offer this life-saving gift from another mother. Neonatologist Dr Alan Horn of Groote Schuur Hospital says: “I firmly believe that the practice of milk banking is still in its infancy, globally and especially in South Africa. I expect it will steadily increase in profile. “Donating breast milk is an act that involves the least pain and the most gain, compared to any other human tissue or organ donation. It is potentially life-saving and is worth more than equipment or staff. The term milk “bank” is perfect – it simultaneously describes the safety and the value of donated milk.” Milk Matters is such a breast milk bank devoted to saving the lives of primarily premature babies in neonatal ICUs who do not have access to their own mother’s milk. It has depots in locations around the city, including Diep River, Retreat and Muizenberg. The need for donor milk is mainly when a mother is too ill to provide breast milk or is unable to physically be with or regularly visit her baby in hospital. Donor milk may also be needed for a short time in the case of multiple births such as triplets, when the mother may initially not have enough breast milk for her babies. Already the demand for donor milk far exceeds supplies and requests from doctors for donor milk continue to increase. Milk Matters, a registered non-profit organisation, started providing donor breast milk to the neonatal ICUs of Cape Town’s biggest state hospitals in 2003. To date 30 hospitals, in both the state and private sector, have received donor milk from Milk Matters
You can donate breast milk for needy babies at a “milk bank” in your area. A local doctor says donated breast milk is potentially life-saving. PHOTO: MILK MATTERS and in addition the organisation has helped five hospitals set up their own in-house milk banks. Most of the donor milk goes to babies in state hospitals, where the need is highest. Since just 50ml of breast milk can feed a baby of less than a kg for 24 hours, mothers do not need to donate large quantities of breast milk to make a significant impact. Some donor mothers make once-off donations of stockpiled milk that is not required
for their own baby, whilst other mothers donate for periods varying from a few weeks to a year or more. Milk Matters provides donors with sterile containers, which can be collected from one of the 25 depots, where batches of frozen milk can also be delivered. All milk is pasteurised. Milk Matters is a registered non-profit organisation.

More than 200 000 visitors have attended the Concerts in the Park series since 2011.
Free music concert in the park EARL HAUPT @EarlHaupt The popular Concerts in the Park events series is branching out to more parks across Cape Town. The initiative grew to such a degree that the current programme had to be extended from November to April to include parks in Wynberg, Bellville, Khayelitsha and Gugulethu. Concerts in the Park, now in its sixth year, brings local performers to public parks around the city to entertain residents in free concerts for the communities who live close to the parks. These additional venues will allow thousands of Capetonians to experience for the first time the vibe of the concerts. The next free concert takes place at Nantes Park in Athlone on Sunday at 15:00 and will showcase the talents of local singing sensation Jimmy Nevis, the Rudimentals and Sweet Resistance. More than 200 000 visitors have attended the various concerts held over the last five years. Mayor Patricia de Lille has given the
City’s full support in the initiative’s ability to unite diverse communities. “The vision for Concerts in the Park is to foster community building. The fact that these hugely popular concerts are free and hosted in public parks means that people from all backgrounds can come together to enjoy them,” she says. Now, Concerts in the Park has also become affiliated to an environmental education programme. Two organisations akin to the concert venues are Seed and South African environmental and education projects (SAEP). Seed’s programme has made a contribution through its hands-on “grow-it-yourselffeed-yourself” educational programme to the disadvantaged residents of Mitchell’s Plain. SAEP, involved in several community programmes, is similarly making a contribution to the upliftment of lives in Philippi. “This initiative has enjoyed much success and has been a lively addition to Cape Town’s event calendar for the past five years,” says Belinda Walker, mayoral committee member for community services and special projects.
City steps up race for bad drivers EARL HAUPT @EarlHaupt
R
eckless road users beware. The City of Cape Town has mobilised 18 members of its law enforcement unit, traffic service and the Western Cape traffic department to form a specialised roadblock unit to curb unlawful behaviour on Cape Town’s roads. According to the City, the roadblock unit members will focus on enforcing the law and tracking suspects wanted for crimes and outstanding warrants. The unit was initially deployed on Thursday night. During the operation, 387 cars were stopped. Drivers were screened for alcohol with six drivers being arrested for drunk driving. One driver was arrested for six drunk driving cases, another driver was arrested for reckless and negligent driving, while one person was arrested for resisting arrest. A taxi was also impounded. A further 147 offences were charged at various points throughout the area.
122 vehicles exceeded the speed limit in Klipfontein Road during the operation, with the highest speed being recorded at 145km/ h. 202 vehicles overstepped the legal speed limit on Jakes Gerwel Drive, with the highest speed clocked at 154km/h. There were also infringements in Stikland, with 87 vehicles speeding, the highest speed being 148km/h. The unit will work with the traffic services ghost squad from time to time, with an invitation also extended to the police to join the initiative. The unit will be responsible for roadblocks across the city, with a specific focus on drinking and driving, stolen cars and illegal street racing. They will detect and seize illegal firearms and drugs and work to track down people with outstanding warrants. “Roadblocks are an integral policing tool, but in recent years our services have been stretched by an increasing workload. This unit is a step towards rectifying that situation,” says JP Smith, mayoral committee member for safety and security.
The City of Cape Town’s metro police and traffic services, as well as police, mobilised on Thursday night for the first operation of the City’s specialised roadblock unit.

COMMENT
How wise are you really?
Save water! The message over the last couple of months has been clear – some parts of the country are facing a drought and dam levels are low, we need to save water! In Cape Town the City imposed strict water restrictions, even going as far as promising fines for households and businesses that don’t save at least 20%. The latter has left a bitter taste in many a household, especially those that have been living water wise before the water restrictions were imposed. If you’re already not opening a tap to water your garden, recycling your bath water into the flowerbeds after the whole family shared the same bath, catching the first few drops of cold shower water in a bucket to use for cleaning the dishes later, keeping the swimming pool just full enough so the pump can run or implementing any of the other creative water savings Capetonians have come up with, then what more can you do to save? Water wise or not, we don’t realise how much water we use (and let go to waste) on a day-to-day basis until unforeseen circumstances force us to live off only bottled water and our swimming pool (for those lucky enough to have one) for at least a few days. It’s only once you start counting the litres to fill the sink, boil the kettle, flush the toilet, not to mention use in your daily hygiene routine and for drinking water, that reality sinks in and you realise how much your household consumes – not saving as much as you thought you did. And then you start thinking of those feeling the drought at its worst, those who have to live out of a bottle for days at a time or those whose permanent living conditions don’t include running water in their homes. The fact is, water is a precious resource and if we don’t try to save more, we are in line to suffer more. So next time, before you open a tap, think... And keep living water wise even after the rains have come and the water restrictions have been lifted.

Great service to street people I wish to respond to People’s Post’s article and express my gratitude for the service offered by the social development department’s social outreach team who provided exceptional service in Rosebank over the festive period. They were available each time I logged a request and always followed up telephonically. I was on hand twice, as they helped Moses Manus (“Sakkie”) access medical help – once via ambulance and once by car, to two different medical facilities (Hanover Park Day Hospital and Victoria Hospital in Wynberg). When he found the Schaapkraal shelter “too noisy”, he discharged himself and returned to the quiet of
Rosebank. He was then allocated a place in the Wynberg shelter, but again the allure of Rosebank was too great. By now, he had used up his six allocated interventions (if not more) by the social development department. Now I have understanding why this rule applies – think ambulance, time, shelter, transport – all paid for by the taxpayer. The next resort is to call the City’s law enforcement department if a by-law is being broken, or in this case, trespassing is occurring. I felt truly mean doing this, and was glad not to witness his removal. My overactive imagination saw him murdered by gangsters in Pollsmoor and suffering all sorts of other awful disas-
ters – all because of me. A week later, there he was, filthy as always, with his toothless smile, hanging around outside Rustenburg Pharmacy. No hard feelings from his side – I was so relieved to see him, I almost hugged him. But the boundaries have been set. The last time seen, he had settled close to the bead sellers on Park Road. Sincere thanks to Ruweida Lakay, Randall Brown and Fundiswa PhillipsMdini, supervisor: reintegration social development and early childhood development for their concrete assistance, as well as in their help in explaining the City’s policy to me. GILL LANHAM
Cops can’t judge drunk drivers The hidden evils It is high time that we stopped blaming drunk drivers for the road carnage. As an ex-policeman Keith Blake should be well aware of the pitfalls of a policeman’s observations (“Drunk drivers are murderers”, People’s Post, 19 January). Policemen and witnesses are not qualified to make such judgements and that was why it became mandatory to do blood tests. The fact that the forensics teams are unable to do their job in a timely fashion is the fault of the justice system. Penalising and jailing someone who isn’t actually guilty of an offence
could lead to the policeman being sued. Statistically, one is much more likely to be killed or injured by a sober driver than a drunk one. Today the major causes of accidents are inattention, drivers texting and other distractions, according to American statistics. Not the red herring of so-called drunk drivers. It is high time that society stops blaming drunk drivers who haven’t actually had an accident and focused on those who are the real problem. BRIAN HOARE, Plumstead
Thank you for your support The Bergvliet Lions Club would like to thank all members of the community for their support last year. We received wonderful support, whether by heeding our call for donations of socks for the needy or by donating and purchasing books at our monthly book sale. All funds raised through the sale of books are ploughed back into the community. The club sponsors annual book prizes at Bergvliet High and
Bergvliet Primary, and gives annual bursaries to Westcott and Bergvliet primary schools. Seniors in two retirement facilities are entertained regularly, and they also donate toys and knitted goods. We are a group of ordinary people striving to do amazing things in the community we have served since 1969. MIKE AND SANDY ROMAN, Bergvliet
of horse racing
The article “Race day attracts charities” (People’s Post, 19 January), as with most articles on horse racing, only reports on the “glamour and the glitz” of horse racing. To my knowledge there has never been an article on the social ills of the racing industry. I grew up in a horse racing family and was a gambler at the age of 18 and almost became an addict before God intervened in my life. I have seen colleagues and people lose everything, including their lives (by suicide), their families and business due to horse racing. Behind the scenes, the plight of the grooms and their living conditions, education and long-term benefits are never mentioned. Gambling addiction can also lead to substance abuse, especially of alcohol and drugs. Horse racing is known as the sport of kings (and fools), but there are not many kings around.

Medals for cops who serve long ASTRID FEBRUARIE @FebAstrid
L
ong-serving members of the police have received medals for their dedication and hard work during a medal parade ceremony at Wynberg police station. The medals were awarded to police officers who have served for 10, 15 and 20 years. Brigadier Riaan Booysen, commander of Wynberg police station, handed over the medals. “I am very proud of the officers as they have shown dedication to the police and I want to encourage them to take pride in what they do. The medal, although it is only a piece of metal, is significant and they should wear it with pride,” Booysen says. Booysen adds that those receiving medals should wear them on behalf of those officers who have passed away during their service in the police. “The medal should be treasured and serve as motivation to those in the police to carry on with what they have signed up for, which is to serve and protect,” Booysen says.

he youthful Crusaders baseball side pulled off a surprise 3-1 victory over the much fancied VOB in their major league fixture at Rooikrans sportsground on Saturday. Grant Robertson (6 Inn) and Michael Scritten (3 Inn) (both former Crusaders players) shared the pitching duties for VOB. They gave up seven hits, one walk and two hits by pitch while fanning six of Crusaders’ batters. Kyle van der Ross and Neil Williams (both 2-4) batted well for the winners. VOB only managed to record four scattered hits off Crusaders starting pitcher Ashwyn Kleintjies, who shared the duties with Cameron Fortuin. Between them they gave up seven walks and struck out five batters. VOB scored their only run in the second innings, with Crusaders scoring two in the third and one in the fifth inning. VOB were unable to capitalise on the seven walks they received. Both teams left six runners on base. VOB again chose to go into the game without SA squad pitcher Jason Theys. Crusaders are now level with Silvertree with four points. VOB remains on 16 points.
A’s destroy Silvertree Effective pitching for the Athlone A’s by
South African squad pitcher Carl Michaels helped to set up his team’s demolition of Silvertree 18-0 at Groenewald sportsfield in Southfield. Dean Jacobs, also a national pitcher, started the pitching for Silvertree. Although he conceded 8 hits in his sixth innings, the score was only 3-0. It was Silvertree’s bullpen that could not keep the others’ bats at bay. Dayton Williams relieved Jacobs for 2.1 innings and conceded 11 hits and 15 runs. Keenan Fisher got the last two outs for Silvertree. The top A’s hitters were Ricardo Siljeur (2-2), Darren Wedel (5-6), Faizel Moosa (3-6) and Lloyd Steven (2-5), which included a home run. A’s left 15 runners on base with Silvertree making 5 errors.
Bothasig finish Bellville off Grand slam home runs in the fourth by Brett Willemburg and by Nicholas Eagles in the ninth inning helped Bothasig beat archrivals Bellville in the top of the table clash at the PP Smit fields in Bellville on Saturday. In this game there were 13 national players – seven for Bellville and six for Bothasig. Bellville opened the scoring in the first inning with a home run by Anthony Phillips to go up by two. Bellville scored a further two runs each
in the second and fourth innings. Bothasig score one each in the third and fourth before Willemburg’s grand slam in the fourth innings. At the end of the fourth the score was tied 6-6. In the sixth innings Bothasig scored a further four runs, including a home run by Kyle Botha to take a 10-6 lead. In the top of the ninth innings Eagles came to bat for left fielder Tyrone Milne and smashed his grand slam off a pitch by Russell Olivier to give Bothasig a winning score of 14-6. Bellville’s best hitters were Phillips (3-5) and Josh Halverson (2-4). Eagles (1-1), Willemburg (2-4) and Benji Smith (3-4) were tops for Bothasig. The victory sees Bothasig on top of the league with 28 points. Bellville and Athlone have 26 points each after 17 games.

10s rugby at Hamilton’s The takealot.com Cape Town 10s will be hosted at Hamilton’s Rugby Club on 5 and 6 February. The event has once again partnered with the Chris Burger Petro Jackson Players’ Fund as its official charity partner. When booking tickets for the event visitors can add R10 to the cost, which will be given to the Players’ Fund. Ticket prices are as follows: Early bird weekend pass – R200, Friday pass – R 100 and Saturday pass – R150. The Chris Burger Petro Jackson Players’ Fund supports fallen heroes of the rugby world – those who have sustained catastrophic head, neck or spinal cord injuries whilst on the field. The decision to have the Players’ Fund as the charity of the Cape Town 10s creates awareness about the cause and the money raised goes a long way to keeping the wheels of 106 former rugby players’ chairs turning. “The Fund is enormously grateful,” says chairperson Morné du Plessis. With more than 2500 rugby players set to participate in this year’s Cape Town 10s, safety is of paramount importance. With the introduction of the Fund’s national rugby safety programme “Bok Smart” all teams will be required to have one Bok Smart-accredited medic on board. This will in turn help ensure that the safest and smartest form of the game is being played throughout the weekend. “As a former player and a sports fanatic I cannot think of a better way to give back than to those who have celebrated and loved the game as much as I have and to help in some ways uplift the lives of our injured rugby heroes,” says Bob Skinstad, co-founder of the Cape Town 10s.

Softball’s A’s run to top again JOSEPH PILLAY
T
here seems no chance to stop a highflying Glenthorn A’s side from clinching their fifth consecutive league crown this season. They beat an improved, though young and inexperienced, Normies outfit 7-0 in a Cape Town Softball Association super league match at Turfhall stadium on Saturday. Glenthorn still boast an unbeaten run to date and top the table with 39 points after 13 games. Their three-prong coaching team of Deon Kerchhoff (technical), Steven Rodkin (head) and Wayne Lakay (assistant) can reliably believe that neither Falcons nor Westridge Yankees (placed second and third on the log respectively) will be able to stop Glenthorn from annexing league honours again. Nevertheless, in Normies’ five turns at bat, they did manage to get onto a base twice through a triple by Shameera Ryland in the third innings, though she was left stranded.
Amy Minnies could have scored her side’s only run, but decided to take on the arm of left outfielder Carla Swanepool. She was put out by catcher Cindy Davids before reaching home plate. Lisa Erasmus led the pitching attack for Glenthorn. In her five innings pitched, she faced 19 batters, struck out three, allowed two base-on-balls and surrendered two hits. Erasmus pitched a steady game with a well marshalled field that assisted her. Good catches in the outfield by Deidre Sasman, Swanepool and Jean Bell and excellent fielding by third-base fielder Astrid van Kresteren and fellow infielders Alex Fortune, Nicole Kannemeyer and Courtney Stevens meant Normies never got their act together with the bat. Normies pitcher Kim Green put up a brave fight against the Glenthorn batters in four innings. . In the other super league matches Westridge Yankees beat St Martin’s 3-0 while Falcons recorded a 10-3 win over Tantasport. Kenfac Phillies beat VOB 9-5.
