Sailors and surfers rushed to Lagoon Beach last week to take advantage of the large swell. Coincidently, the Royal Cape Yacht Club presents the weekly “twilight series” races for most classes of yacht in Table Bay on Wednesday evenings. The course varies from week to week, dictated by wind strength and direction. Last week the contestants passed quite close to Lagoon Beach in the stiff south-easterly wind.

BEACHES: CITY SAYS IT IS PREPARED FOR SEASON

Lifeguard shortage bugs KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

“T

he lack of lifeguards at most beaches is posing a danger to residents and more needs to be done.”

These are the words of a concerned resident after the recent drowning of a 13-yearold boy at Lagoon Beach in Milnerton.

According to the resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, there are no public swimming pools from the N1 to Sunningdale to use, only beaches.

“Where must people go other than the beach?” she asks. “Pressure needs to be put on the City of Cape Town, explaining why there is a shortage of lifeguards on beaches.

Lifeguards should be deployed to every beach, especially now with the holiday and

summer season. Last year lifeguards were employed in September already.”

Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health, says the City plans lifeguard deployment for the coastline annually in line with the school holiday dates.

He said: “The City, therefore, is currently in the process of recruiting, vetting and training lifeguards and the intention is that they will be deployed from 23 October at certain beaches and tidal pools around the City, based on the drowning prevention plan.

This coverage will be daily, from 10:00 until 18:00, until 12 April 2021.”

However, residents in Sunset Beach and Bloubergstrand claim lifeguards are not visible at the beaches.

“We can only visit beaches and have no ac-

cess to public swimming pools in our area,” Jacques de Villiers says. “Over the years, there have been countless drownings in the area with only the National Sea Rescue Institute assisting beachgoers and paddlers.”

The City says it will invest approximately R48 million in lifeguard salaries and a further R300 000 on specialised PPE and Covid19 related training, as part of its drowning prevention project this year.

“Lifeguards are also supported by a city drowning prevention team, which works very closely with safety and security, the NSRI and Lifesaving Cape Town,” Badroodien added. “Approximately 330 seasonal beach lifeguards and 290 municipal pool lifeguards have been appointed. Lifeguards will be stationed at 26 bathing areas between 10:00 and 18:00 daily, until 12 April 2021. The

City urges visitors to the beach to swim only where and when lifeguards are on duty, between their red and yellow flags designating safe bathing areas.

The City will deploy lifeguards at the following beaches: . Silwerstroomstrand (bathing area and tidal pool to be covered by lifeguards). . Melkbosstrand Main Beach . Big Bay . Table View (lifeguards will be stationed here from November onwards. This is a patrol area for lifeguards only, as there are identified hotspots for water emergencies). . Milnerton Lighthouse . Milnerton Lagoon Beach (This is a patrol area for lifeguards only, as there are identified hotspots for water emergencies.)

Rotary thanks healthcare workers KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

T

he Rotary club of Century City met with the TB and HIV community health workers in Dunoon on Wednesday 21 October to present certificates of appreciation.

This as the club wanted to show recognition and express gratitude for their ongoing support and commitment to the annual Rotary Family Health Day programmes that have been running nationwide since 2013.

Deidre Crouser, club president, said this programme would not be possible without the partnership with the Department of Health and TB, HIV Care.

“TB, HIV Care is a registered non-profit organisation. The community health workers are the link between clinics and the community. They bring health services to the people wherever they are. Rotary, along with the Department of Health and TB, HIV Care, partner to host Rotary Family Health Days to allow the community to access free basic health services. These health days are usually run in October of each year. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic these much-needed health days were not able to take place,” Crouser said. Regardless, the health workers continue caring and providing selfless service. Sister Yvette Andrews, clinical programme coordinator for Community Based Services, addressed the health workers say-

ing “you are the front line of the front-line workers. Without you the patient would not get into a hospital and receive ICU care”.

Sister Yvette Andrews also commended Sister Mandisa Ntuli, the nurse coordinator for the health workers, saying she was a true professional and always lead by example.

The City of Cape Town will move to no restriction and water-wise tariffs from 1 November.

This, after ongoing assessments were done over the past few months and the situation has been actively and proactively monitored by the City.

The decision to lift water restrictions and lower water tariffs is based on the following three key considerations: . The national Department of Water and Sanitation’s lifting of its restrictions applicable to the Western Cape Water Supply System (WCWSS) of shared dams, of which Cape Town is one of the users.

Overall, the WCWSS dam levels reached 100%. . City projections indicating dams are unlikely to drop below 50% by next winter. The lifting of all restriction measures, except for existing water regulations permanently in place due to the proactive management of water resources, will allow for water-wise usage, in line with the lowest tariff, which is slightly lower than the current, second lowest tariff level. . City projections also indicating the latest anticipated water usage patterns for the coming summer will be sufficient to allow the lowering of water and sanitation tariffs from the second lowest tariff to the lowest, no restriction water-wise tariff

level. These tariffs are already part of the Council-approved budget for the 2020-’21 financial year, which followed due pro­cess including a public participation pro­cess.

The City’s Executive Mayor, Dan Plato, says apart from the dams filling up to capacity and beyond in recent weeks, this is another moment to be celebrated.

“In a few short years we have gone from the worst drought to face our city and a potential water ‘Day Zero’, to full dams and zero water restrictions,” he said. “The tariff has already been approved by Council as part of the set of ta­riffs for the City’s 2020-’21 budget. This lowest tariff will offer residents some financial relief while ensuring we can still provide reliable water services and invest in new water sources. Tariffs are set to cover the cost of providing water and sanitation. This includes the maintenance of infrastructure and ma­king sure Cape Town is resilient by investing in and adding new sources to its water supply.”

Mayco Member for Water and Waste Xanthea Limberg says the City will continue to implement cost saving and waterwise plans and encourage Cape Town to continue being water-smart.

“What our residents may not know is that City water costs on average 4c per li-

tre, in comparison to approximately R10 per litre for shop-bought bottled water,” she pointed out. “Thank you, Team Cape Town, for using water responsibly and also for paying your water and sanitation accounts.

What residents need to know about water tariffs: . City water costs on average 4c per litre in comparison to R10 per litre for shopbought bottled water. . Based on the first 10 500 litres of water used +15 mm, the average bill will be R411,99 on the no-restriction, water-wise tariff. This is compared to R785,38 under the Level 6B tariff at the peak of the drought. . The City’s water tariff, like some other metros, has a usage and a fixed part and it forms the total water tariff that covers the cost of providing water. This includes the maintenance of infrastructure and making sure Cape Town is resilient by adding new sources to its water supply and becoming a water-sensitive city.

What residents need to know about the no restriction, water-wise level: . The water restrictions are lifted under this level but permanent regulations as outlined in the Water By-law still apply, regardless of the restriction level as Cape Town is situated in a water-scarce region.

Guidelines to report sexual offences KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

T

he Table View police is urging the community to follow the correct procedure when reporting sexual offences.

According to Capt Adriana Chandler, police spokesperson for the Table View police, when a sexual offence is committed the victim suffers severe trauma.

“It is difficult to conceive of any other offence of which the bodily and psychological integrity, privacy and dignity of a victim are simultaneously violated more severely than when a sexual offence is committed,” she said. “Furthermore, a sexual offence not only affects the victim alone, but also his or her family and personal life. Therefore, police members will assist victims in any way possible to lessen the trauma. The police endears a professional service to victims in the investigation of offences of this nature, and will assist victims in this regard.”

Chandler explains the alleged committing of a sexual office may be reported by the victim of the offence or a family member, friend or colleague of the victim or a person who witnesses or received information about the committing of the offence.

“Any person who has knowledge that a sexual offence has been committed against a child must report such knowledge to a police official,” she said. “Failure to do so constitutes an offence. Any person who has knowledge or a reasonable belief or suspicion that a sexual offence has been committed against a mentally disabled person must report such knowledge to a police official.

Failure to do so constitutes an offence.

“Sexual offences may be reported at a police station or be reported by phone. No victim may be turned away simply because the

Koeberg completes 24th outage The 24th outage of Unit 2 of the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station was completed on Wednesday, 21 October.

In a statement, Eskom explained the unit is currently synchronised onto the grid and will load up to full capacity by this week. “This will give Eskom a reliable electricity output of approximately 900MW for close on 400 days, helping ease the supply constraints on the rest of the power station fleet. Unit 1 continues to operate as normal at full capacity, and is scheduled for a refuelling and maintenance outage starting in February 2021.

The outage at Unit 2 – the 24th since it first started to generate electricity – was also a planned and regular refuelling outage, where the nuclear fuel in the reactor core was replaced with new fuel.

During operations like these, all the nuclear fuel is removed from the core, the reactor cavity is drained and cleaned whereafter it is refilled before the fuel is placed into the core.

Eskom further explained that during the outage, routine maintenance was performed on the plant to keep the station performing safely and optimally. “While many maintenance activities can be performed without switching off the station, there are some more intrusive activities that can only be performed when the unit is shut down.”

Koeberg staff performed the refuelling and maintenance, with the assistance of 32 international specialists required to safely perform some specialist and very focused maintenance tasks. “These crews arrived in South Africa starting on 31 July, and followed all the Covid-19 protocols, including Covid-19 screening and testing, and quarantine.

The outage began on 11 August.

alleged offence took place a long time ago or was allegedly committed in the area of another police station.”

Here are a few guidelines on what to expect when reporting a sexual offence: . The victim is permitted to have a person of his or her choice present to support and reassure him or her. . The interview will be conducted in surroundings that are either familiar to the victim or reassuring to the victim.

Chandler says that once sufficient information has been obtained from the victim, a docket must be opened, registered on the Crime Administration System (CAS) and an affidavit must be made.

“This will include the time and date on which the offence was allegedly committed,” she said, “the place where the offence was allegedly committed, the nature of the alleged offence and the manner in which it was allegedly committed, and the first person to whom the victim reported the alleged sexual offence before he or she reported it to the police. Any details regarding the alleged offen­der(s) that may assist in identifying and finding them. Any details regarding possible witnesses that may assist in identifying and locating them.”

Chandler says it is important the officer should determine whether the victim requires medical assistance and, if so, make arrangements for the victim to obtain medical assistance as soon as possible.

He added: “The purpose of the medical examination of the victim is to establish whether there is any evidence relating to the alleged sexual offence. The victim must be taken for the medical examination as soon as possible. The victim of a sexual offence has had a traumatic experience, and most will need some form of counselling.”

Suspects arrested for abalone Two suspects were arrested for possession of shucked abalone worth R7 million in Milnerton on Wednesday 21 October.

According to police spokesperson, Capt FC Van Wyk, the arrest came after an intelligence-driven operation on Wednesday.

“An intelligence driven operation executed on Wednesday by members attached to the national intervention unit and crime intelligence, led to the arrest of two foreign nationals aged 29 and 45 for the possession of shucked abalone worth an estimated R7 million in Milnerton. On Wednesday 21 October at about 14:00, the members responded to information about abalone stored in a basement at an apartment complex in Century City, Milnerton,” Van Wyk said.

On arrival, the officials found three vehicles loaded with abalone in plastic bags.

Van Wyk added that the officials seized the three vehicles with 23 000 units of abalone.

Police confiscated R7 million worth of abalone in Milnerton last week.

“The shucked abalone was handed over to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The suspects are due to appear in the Cape Town magistrate’s court once they have been charged,” he said.

FROM PAGE 1 Upon further investigation, TygerBurger asked the City the plans in place to open public swimming pools in the Milnerton and Table View areas.

The City says there is an Infrastructure Investment Plan which highlights the need to upgrade existing infrastructure, among other key interventions.

“The infrastructure referred to is intended to accommodate all major sporting activities, including new Recreation and Parks facilities within approved sporting

precincts. Spatially, these precincts are located across the entire metro.

“There are currently no new swimming pools in this plan, as there are already swimming pools within these sporting precincts.

“Additionally, the City unfortunately has a vast number of needs and backlogs.

As a result the department has had to prioritise investments,” Badroodien says.

The City says lifeguard recruitment and placement is only one element of a compre-

hensive drowning prevention project that the Recreation and Parks Department rolls out during the summer season.

“This is intended to raise awareness and educate the public about water safety.

There is a Summer Safety Campaign that the department runs annually from 1 December.

During the school holidays, the department runs educational programmes about water safety for children at the City’s recreation hubs.

Learn-to-swim programmes are also offered at municipal pools by swimming clubs affiliated with Cape Town Metro Aquatics.

“It is anticipated that the programmes will resume once clubs start training at facilities in November,” Badroodien explains.

Other educational programmes the City has in place includes its drowning prevention awareness officers and its Beach Buddies Programme.

Aansoekers moet daarvan kennis neem dat die departement ten doel het om sy opbrengs op investering (ROI) te maksimiseer deur ’n kollaboratiewe befondsingsmodel wat ’n vaardigheidsoordragkomponent en projekuitsette in pas met die GOP en sakedoelwittte insluit.

Voorstelle vir hulptoelae moet skriftelik ingedien word op ’n amptelike aansoekvorm wat beskikbaar is by alle subraadskantore of aanlyn by www.capetown.gov.za/grants-in-aid.

Projekvoorstelle moet tot munisipale verantwoordelikhede beperk wees en die strategiese doelwitte van die Stad, soos in die GOP, die strategie vir ekonomiese groei en die strategie vir maatskaplike ontwikkeling uiteengesit, bevorder, en moet ook die Stad se pogings om ’n geleentheidstad, ’n veilige stad, ’n omgeestad, ’n inklusiewe stad en ’n goed bestuurde stad te bou, ondersteun. By die opstel van hul begroting moet aansoekers kennis neem van die hulptoelaebeleid wat op versoek of op die Stad se webwerf beskikbaar is. ’n Bedrag van R14 108 865 is vir toewysing beskikbaar. Die minimum bedrag per aansoek per projek is R15 000. Aansoekers moet realisties wees wanneer voorstelle opgestel word aangesien fondse beperk is. Nie alle aansoekers sal befondsing ontvang nie en die Stad kan besluit om voorstelle gedeeltelik en nie in geheel nie, te befonds.

Alle aansoeke moet vergesel wees van: • ’n Afskrif van die jongste, geouditeerde finansiële state of ouditsertifikaat indien daar in vorige boekjare toelaefinansiering van die Stad ontvang is.

Tips for carrying cash safely

Goodbye class of 2020: Milnerton High School bade farewell to the class of 2020 during their valedictory on Friday 23 October, celebrating the huge milestone for learners. The school said that despite the challenges this year, the matric class worked hard to achieve their goals. *Photo taken before the Covid-19 lockdown.

Cleaning litter bins KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

T

he Montague Gardens-Marconi Beam Improvement District (MMID) embarked on a project to empty out the green litter bins in the smaller roads of the area.

This forms part of the MMID’s recycling project, aiming at keeping the area clean.

Gary Bower from MMID says the main thoroughfares get services often enough, but at times the bins

in the smaller roads are overflowing and this adds to a general look of untidiness.

“Almost 80% of the stuff that gets thrown away are recyclable. During last week we were cleaning bins with our urban team,” Bower says. The MMID aims to get more effective in reducing the waste that goes to the landfill. To make their job easier, Path Plastics in Montague Drive donated eight branded wheelie bins to allow for easier sorting in September.

“We would really like to thank

them for this very generous donation. Our workspace is much cleaner and tidier; the guys can work much more efficiently,” the MMID said on their Facebook page.

The team serviced 61 bins last week and sorted the items with blue refuse bags.

“These bags were graciously supplied by the City of Cape Town’s cleansing department. The team of four cleaners collects the items to recycle after which it will be sorted into its respective recycling categories,” Bower explains.

With an increase seen in cash robbe­ries, the police has urged residents to be more vigilant.

According to the police, if people need to pay accounts they should consider options of lower risk, instead of withdrawing large sums of cash. Apply the following tips to avoid being a victim: . Carry as little cash as possible. . Consider the convenience of paying your accounts electronically (consult your bank to find out about other available options). . Consider making use of cellphone banking or internet transfers or ATMs to do your banking.

The police said in a statement that a small business that is cashbased and needs to deposit money on a regular basis at the bank should apply the following tips that will minimize the chances of robberies: . Alternate the days and times on which they deposit cash. . Never make their bank visits public, even to people close to you. . Do not openly display the money they are depositing while standing in the bank queue. . Avoid carrying money bags, briefcases or openly displaying your deposit receipt book. . It’s advisable to identify another branch nearby that you can visit to ensure that your banking pattern is not easily recognisable or detected.

. If the amount of cash you are regularly depositing is increasing as your business grows, consider using the services of a cash management company. . Refrain from giving wages to your contract or casual labourers in full view of the public. Rather make use of wage accounts that can be provided by your bank. . Refrain from driving to the bank in your company branded vehicle on a typical “pay day”. . Consider arranging for electronic transfers of wages to your contract or casual labourers’ personal bank accounts.

Members of cash savings clubs are advised of the following tips that will assist them from being victim to cash robberies: . Refrain from making cash deposits of club members’ contributions on high risk days (eg Monday after month end). . Ensure people depositing club cash contributions or making withdrawals are accompanied by another member of the club. . A stokvel, savings club or burial society can arrange for members to deposit cash directly into the club’s account instead of collecting cash contributions. . Arrange for the club’s pay-out to be electronically transferred into each club member’s personal account.

Cansa: high time for high tea NETTALIE VILJOEN

B

reast cancer is the number one cancer affecting women in South Africa, according to the National Cancer Registry (NCR) 2016. “That is why it is so important that we take care of ourselves,” says Cara Noble, the national relationship manager for The Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa).

It is recommended that women aged 25 to 39 years go for a clinical breast exam every one to three years. Women aged 40 years and older, should have an exam done every year and women 55 years and older should change to every two years. However, Noble says a lot can happen in between exams. She says it is vitally important that women get into the habit of examining their breasts regularly.

“By the time a woman’s partner finds something, it has usually been there for months. Women need to become familiar with their bodies. If you have breasts, examine them monthly. It is best to pick it up early and get a better outcome.”

Noble is one of four women who will form part of a panel discussion during both an S-Connect Women’s Breast Cancer Awareness webinar on Friday 30 October and at an afternoon high tea at the Twelve Apostles Hotel in Cape Town on Sunday 1 November. Luzelle Yon Lestrade, a breast cancer survivor and internationally certified John

Maxwell coach and speaker; Ariella Kuper, a two-time breast cancer survivor and South Africa’s leading female auctioneer; and Dr Windy Dean-Colomb, a medical oncologist and internal medicine and medical oncology board-certified practitioner are the other speakers who will discuss and provide insight on topics such as early detection and preventative measures.

The campaign, organised by S-Connect Women, a business networking hub to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month, aims to provide a beacon of hope to many women undergoing treatment. All proceeds raised will go to Cansa.

With so many fundraising events cancelled as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown, Cansa has faced a funding shortfall these past months.

In the middle of lockdown, it had to go through a restructuring and retrenchment process. Noble says they had to focus on keeping their 12 care homes afloat.

Among its many services, Cansa provides home-from-home accommodation to patients undergoing cancer treatment at oncology clinics far from their homes.

Guests at the care homes located in the main metropolitan areas across the country stay for an average of six weeks and receive meals and transport to and from treatment centres. With Cansa named an essential service, all of these care homes stayed open throughout lockdown. Seeing that the im-

Verkeer én boetes neem toe Die Stad Kaapstad se verkeersbeamptes het in die drie maande van Julie tot September vanjaar meer as 4 500 voertuie sonder nommerplate waargeneem.

Soos wat die verkeer op die paaie weer toeneem, neem die verkeersoortredings ook toe, sê JP Smith, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir veiligheid en sekuriteit.

Hy sê om sonder ’n nommerplaat te bestuur, is dikwels ’n poging om spoedboetes te vermy of om vervolging vir enige uitstaande dagvaardings te probeer ontduik.

Volgens die verkeersafdeling is ’n voertuig met net een of geen nommerplate nie padwaardig nie. Verkeersbeamptes sal ’n boete saam met ’n kennisgewing uitreik wat bepaal dat die voertuig binne 14 werksdae ’n padwaardigheidstoets by die

naaste toetssentrum sal moet ondergaan.

Nog ’n neiging is dat motoriste hul selfone gebruik terwyl hulle bestuur.

Bykans 800 selfone is in dieselfde tydperk (Julie tot September) deur verkeersbeamptes afgeneem en geskut.

In die eerste twee weke van Oktober is reeds 238 selfone geskut.

Smith waarsku dat die motoriste wat hul selfone gebruik terwyl hulle bestuur nie net die verkeer ontwrig nie, maar ook ander motoriste en voetgangers se lewe in gevaar stel.

Die Stad se verkeersbeamptes meld gereeld dat mense wat op hul selfone besig is by kruisings, stoptekens en verkeersligte die verkeer laat ophoop omdat hul aandag elders is.

Hierdie motoriste is ook maklike tei-

mune systems of patients undergoing oncology treatment are compromised, the standard of care and nourishment provided at these care homes needed to remain at the highest level.

“Our staff sacrificed a lot. They didn’t go home Easter time. They didn’t leave the facility. They were so scared that if they were to go home to their families that they might be exposed to the virus and bring it back to work with them. They went to the ends of the Earth for our patients. I am so proud of them,” she adds.

She says fundraising events like these held by S-Connect are a blessing to get Cansa’s services up and going. “We are getting back on our feet, slowly and surely. Next year will be our 90th year of existence and we will be coming back with a bang and doing even more,” Noble says.

The Breast Cancer Awareness Afternoon High Tea will be MC’d by television and radio presenter Zoë Brown. Scar Hair Salon will provide a pop-up Hair Salon for guests to cut and colour their hair pink, nail technicians will paint nails pink, and Cansa will provide a help desk. Only 40 seats at R470 each will be available.

kens vir aanvalle deur misdadigers, sê Smith. Die boetes is as volg: . Net een nommerplaat: R500; . Geen nommerplaat: R1 000; . Gebruik van selfoon terwyl jy bestuur: R1 000 (met ’n bykomende R500 ingevolge die Stad se padverkeersregulasies).

Die selfoon sal geskut word en ’n fooi is betaalbaar om dit terug te kry.

Die selfoon sal 24 uur nadat dit geskut is beskikbaar wees nadat dit geskut is by die verkeersdepartement naaste aan waar dit afgeneem is.

Mense wat sonder ’n geldige rybewys bestuur, is nog ’n rede tot kommer met 32 341 gevalle wat aangeteken is in die drie maande tot September, sê Smith.

Meer as 31 800 bestuurders wat deur verkeersbeamptes voorgekeer is, kon nie ’n rybewys toon nie.

Practise water safety at beaches KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

W

ith the school holidays in full swing this week, many are rushing to beaches to enjoy the swimming sea-

son.

The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is encouraging the public to adopt a water safety mindset around coastal and inland waters.

Spokesperson Craig Lambinon says the institute’s number one rule for a safe experience at the beach is to choose one that has lifeguards on duty and swim between their flags.

“If you do that, you don’t need to worry about rip currents, or suddenly getting out

of your depth,” he said. “Putting an arm in the air and waving for help will get a rapid response from the lifeguards on duty.

“Unfortunately, for various reasons, people regularly swim where there are no lifeguards on duty. This may be on a beach before or after the lifeguard’s duty for the day or at a beach that does not have lifeguards.

This is when things can go wrong.”

The NSRI says the public should have a plan in place in the event of an emergency to prevent panic.

“Make sure you have emergency numbers that you may need saved on your cellphone,” Lambinon said.

“Dial 112 from any cellphone in any emergency. Or, simply Google Sea Rescue or NSRI for the closest sea rescue station’s tele-

. Know how to survive rip currents. . Don’t attempt a rescue yourself. Call a lifeguard or the NSRI by dialling 112 and call the NSRI’s emergency operations centre on 087 094 9774 from your cellphone for help. . Watch children who are using floating objects, toys or tire tubes at the beach or on dams very carefully. . Drowning is silent. Watch children when they are in or near water. Do not be distracted by your cellphone or social media while looking after children in or near water. You need to focus on them and nothing else. . Learn how to do CPR. Have the emergency numbers saved in your phone.

The NSRI appealed to boaters, paddlers and sailors to wear bright neon clothing when they launch onto water.

“Have your name, contact telephone numbers for yourself and a responsible family member stencilled on your craft,” Lambinon says.

For more information visit www.nsri.org.za.

phone number. Check the wind, weather and tides before going to the beach, fishing or boating.”

According to the NSRI, it is important to tell someone where one is going and when one is due back, and to ensure sure the institute knows one’s route.

The NSRI pointed out the following water safety tips to bear in mind this summer: . Swim at beaches where and when lifeguards are on duty. . Swim between the lifeguard flags. . Don’t drink alcohol, and then swim. . Don’t swim alone. Always swim with a buddy. . Adult supervision and barriers to water are vital. Adults who are supervising children in or near water must be able to swim.

ArtsAbility festival online The ArtsAbility Festival, presented annually by Unmute Dance Company, is an inclusive arts festival for both disabled and able-bodied artists and performers.

This year the festival moves online offering a free virtual experience from Tuesday 3 November until Thursday 3 December.

It pays tribute to the International Day of People with Disability (IDPWD), which is celebrated in December.

Under the overarching theme “Spaces and Homes Invasion Festival of Transmission (Shift) Online” it is using the virtual space to increase the usually six-day event to a month-long online festival.

“The theme is striving to return to the core value of the ArtsAbility’s original focus of taking inclusivity in the arts to community spaces and people, says Nadine McKenzie, Unmute artistic director. “This year, with the virtual innova­tion, Unmute has taken the opportunity presented by a month-long event to incorporate many more artists and performances.”

She says the festival’s objectives are three-fold. Firstly, to provide exposure for young inclusive artists who are already producing works in communities. Then, to provide a platform for collaborative works between South African, African and global inclusive artists.

Lastly, to provide learning opportunities through the Access Lecture, Inclusive Webinars, Sign Language lessons, Integrated Dance workshop programmes.

The golden thread running through Art-

focus is on inclusivity. sAbility 2020 is Unmute’s vision of inclusivity, accessibility and integration.

One of the highlights is Access Denied; a video presentation where three artists from Unmute Dance Theatre explores the different accessibility challenges these artists deal with daily.

Through their art, the artists interrogate the discrimina­tions they experience.

To create clarity for the viewers, ArtsAbility 2020 has been divided into daily subthemes.

Each day will offer a different performance or learning opportunity, with some performances only online for 24 hours.

A series of lectures and workshops will be taking place over the course of the month.

Enter filmmaking competition

DanceAbility International’s Emery Blackwell and Alito Alessi will be on show at ArtsAbility’s online festival

Applications for South Africa’s first-ever online mobile phone movie making film festival are now open – and as the name suggests, anyone using a smartphone, tablet, drone or action camera can enter.

The Mobile Moviemakers Film Festival Cape Town by MMOCA was devised as a way to empower any person with a smart recording device to tell the stories never heard before.

MMOCA is an initiative by the Belgian Chamber of Commerce in South Africa and is powered by the Belgian Consulate in Cape Town, Flanders, Wallonia-Bruxelles International, Flemish Investment and Trade organisation as well as the Wallonia Trade & Investment organisation.

The inspiration behind the mobile fes-

tival stems from a need for change.

While traditional filmmaking emphasises the big, latest technology cameras and sound equipment, this festival hopes to reach a much bigger group of aspiring filmmakers.

“It’s all about storytelling and not the size of your camera,” explains festival director, Dominique Vandenhoudt.

Entry into the competition is R100, but students gain free entry.

Entries include documentary, fiction or advertisement and close on Friday 13 November.Winners will receive a production grant of R10 000 and a jury-prize of R5 000. The festival will end off with a Red Carpet-style awards night at the Belgian House in Cape Town.

V To submit your entry, visit https://belgianchambersa.co.za/mmoca/

Local stories need to be told and MMOCA wants to hear them. Aspiring filmmakers and storytellers are encouraged to enter the Mobile Moviemakers Film Festival Cape Town, an initiative by the Belgian Chamber of Commerce in South Africa.

Businessmen inspired at meeting ESMÉ ERASMUS

A

message of hope to local business people for the recovery of business after Covid-19 has been shared by James Vos, City of Cape Town’s Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management.

Vos was the guest speaker at the first meeting of Durbanville Business since lockdown, which was held at Durbanville Hills Winery last Tuesday (20 October).

Several business sectors in Cape Town offer opportunities, he said at the meeting.

“I can honestly say that there has never been a better time to invest in Cape Town.

“Last year alone, R2.6 billion worth of investment was secured, 5 720 jobs were created and 2 048 people were trained by the City’s Special Business Partners (SBPs). This illustrates the power of partnerships between the City and the SBPs we fund.

“As a city, we focus our energy on attracting investment which creates jobs and leads to economic growth. It is vital that we implement plans that are proven to work, which bring in investment, and develop the right skills pipelines for the high-growth sectors,” Vos said.

“Cape Town is fast becoming the call centre hub on the continent and supports almost 60 000 jobs. That is why the City provides funding to one of our Strategic Business Partners, CapeBPO, to upskill and place residents in this sector,” he said.

“Besides Amazon’s investment into data centres, they have also been expanding the call centre side of their business in Cape Town.

“Amazon’s web services are also to relocate to Cape Town and will have an employment benefit, he said.

Besides Amazon’s investment into data centres, they have also been expanding the

call centre side of their business in Cape Town.

Amazon is not the only international company expanding its call centre footprint in Cape Town, according to Vos, as over 5 000 new jobs in the international call centre industry were created last year.

One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical and biotech companies, Roche, began construction in February in Brackenfell.

Vos said it wa now his job to expand operations of Hisense, a Chinese multinational major appliance and electronics manufacturing company in Atlantis, in Cape Town for export services to Africa.

“To co-ordinate and streamline the City’s economic response to the Covid-19 pandemic, I established the economic task team, which formulated the City’s economic action plan. This team is currently implementing several steps as a part of this plan to get our economy back to business,” he said.

“About 26 industrial areas work closely with existing industrial areas to retain, but also to expand business during lockdown.”

Cape Town has the second-largest boat building industry, specifically catamarans, in the world, Vos said.

“We must ensure they stay open and operational for the export market,” Vos said.

“Several clothing and textile industries faced closure. We helped them to manufacture safety gear such as face masks to avoid further layoffs,” Vos said.

“We work hard to establish South Africa’s aviation footprint with new routes. One of

the most exciting was a direct flight from New York to Cape Town, which will open the North-American market.

On 16 December last year, we had the first flight arriving in Cape Town. We want to reestablish this route. Next year we will see the first direct flight from Portugal to Cape Town.

“The next exciting step is to grow Cape Town’s cargo footprint for export, he said.

“South Africa has the fastest-growing green economy on the African Continent, has the only Greentech SEZ in Africa, the Atlantis Special Economic Zone, we are also the Green Tech hub of the continent, as well as the leading health tech hub,” he said.

“Four companies are now signing an agreement to work in green tech manufacturing. This is a very exciting opportunity.

“The film and media industry is also a huge money-spinner. The Good Hope Centre in Cape Town signed an agreement with an American film studio for the production of TV series. The entire centre will be used as a film studio,” Vos said.

“Ships, boats and floating structures were Cape Town’s seventh-largest value export in 2018 and the industry currently employs around 5 000 people and we are the secondlargest producer of multihull catamarans in the world.

“In May this year, I had the pleasure of announcing the formation and partnership with a new Strategic Business Partner (SBP), Blue Cape.

“Blue Cape has been established to ensure

“Last year alone, R2.6 billion worth of investment was secured, 5 720 jobs were created and 2 048 people were trained by the City’s special business partners.”

economic growth, job creation and social upliftment by investing in skills development and policy advocacy in the oceans economy.

This SBP, with funding support from the City, will focus on marine manufacturing including boat building, superyachts and ocean sports. Specifically, Blue Cape will manage a database of vetted superyacht suppliers and will develop training materials and career pathways, facilitate internships and job creation,” he said.

“Tourism is important for Cape Town and offers an R18 billion per year income. It is an important sector and was the hardest hit by lockdown. Now the hard work to rebuild begins. “We want to market Cape Town not only as a tourism destination but also a business destination.”

This includes marketing Cape Town as a remote work destination, a study destination “with our world-class study institutions”, as a place of play and adventure, a place to invest and buy property in, and also to invest business here, Vos said.

“We want tourists to spend more time and money in Cape Town and is on the last to sign an agreement with cruise liners to use Cape Town as a departure destination in the coming cruise season. “We want to get more cruise liners to spend more time in Cape Town, to dock longer or to start their cruises here,” he said.

Vos has approached events companies to stage their events in Cape Town. The Formula E motorsport championship is one of the big experiences which will happen in Cape Town, he said. “Miss South Africa was presented in Cape Town, which brought us many global eyeballs.

“Cape Town can also be a destination for medical care. People come here for operations and to recover at our world-class medical facilities,” he said.

SLICE OF LIFE

Inperking vir Kersfees ons voorland Ek hoor onlangs iemand sê Kersfees moet ingeperk word.

Dit is as ’n grap bedoel, maar soos ons almal weet drup menige grap van ’n bietjie waarheid. Die stelling het my aan die dink gesit.

As iemand wat slaafs nuusgebeure volg, het ek gewoonlik darem ’n aanvoeling vir wat mag volg. Jy begin besef die gety is besig om te draai teen ’n spesifieke persoon in die nuus, of mense is besig om hul menings oor ’n sekere onderwerp te verander. Veral met sosiale media wat lopende kommentaar toelaat, kan ’n mens nogal redelik uitwerk waarheen dinge op pad is.

Maar ek is al baie verras met hoe dinge uitspeel. Met die Amerikaanse presidentsverkiesing vier jaar gelede het ek gedog dis onmoontlik dat ’n vulgêre, taktlose werklikheidster sal seëvier teen ’n beroepspolitikus.

Hier ter plaatse het ek ook nie gedink die ANC het die vermoë om van Nommer Een ontslae te raak nie.

Vroeër vanjaar het ek ook my eie idee gehad van hoe 2020 sou uitspeel – planne vir kreatiewe projekte en reis was in die vooruitsig. Ja, ek het die tekens gesien van wat in lande soos Italië en Amerika aangaan, soos die koronavirus sy pad oor die aardbol gevind het. Maar het ek verwag dat ek sewe maande later in ’n hoekie van my voorkamer sal sit en werk? Dat ek sommige dae onderwyser moes wees? Dat ek oral waar ek gaan moet seker maak ek het my masker, en dat handreinigingsmiddel ’n permanente deel van die inkopies gaan word?

Nee, ek het dit nie sien kom nie. Die tekens was daar, maar nooit het ek gedink dat Covid-19 ons lewens só drasties sal verander nie.

Die laaste ruk lees ek gereeld waarskuwings oor die “tweede vlaag” van die virus wat op pad is. Dat dit gevaarliker as die “eerste vlaag” gaan wees.

As jy vir TygerBurger werk, word daar van jou verwag om in die gemeenskappe te wees waaroor jy skryf – om ’n gevoel te kry van wat die hartklop van daardie gemeenskap is. Ek dek onder meer Eersterivier en Wesbank.

As ek net kyk na wat ek om my sien, dan is ek bekommerd. Nie net oor myself en my gesin nie, maar vir die gemeenskap. Dit is amper soos om ’n ongeluk te sien gebeur, maar jy kan nie wegkyk of dit verhoed nie. Dis amper asof alles in stadige aksie afspeel: mense wat sonder maskers aan by winkels gehelp word; groot samekomste sonder enige gesonde afstand tussen die mense; die polisie wat kla dat daar meer dronk mense op straat is, ten spyte daarvan dat hulle nie oor naweke drank mag koop nie; skoolkinders sonder maskers wat in groot groepe saambeweeg; lang rye by winkels; taxi’s wat oorlaai is.

Dit wil voorkom asof mense meen vlak een van inperking beteken die virus is ook op vlak een. Al wat vlak een beteken is dat sekere inperkings verslap is om die ekonomie van die land weer aan die gang te kry, nie dat die virus, om Donald Trump aan te haal, "wonderbaarlik gaan verdwyn” nie.

Hoe meer onverantwoordelik ons gaan wees, hoe langer gaan ons nog moet maskers dra. En as voorspellings waar is, gaan dit ’n warm somer wees. Verbeel jou jy moet in 30 grade Celcius ’n masker dra?

As ons nie versigtig is nie, gaan baie mense nog siek word en met ons gesondheidsdienste wat onder gewone omstandighede swak is, kan dit ’n tragedie wees.

As ons só voortgaan gaan ons Kersfees ingeperk wees. – Brenden Ruiter

Kattekwaad lei tot erge buretwis Die artikel “Cats poisoned” (TygerBurger 14 Oktober) verwys.

Die onlangse vergiftiging van katte is onrusbarend, wreed en onaanvaarbaar.

Die vergiftiging van honde kan verstaan word, waar misdadigers ’n huis teiken en ’n hond in hul pad is. Die tergende vraag is waarom iemand katte sou vergiftig?

Die debat rondom die vraag het verskeie uitgangspunte, maar verskeie nuut gepubliseerde wetenskaplike studies van huiskatte en hul gedrag bring ons by die werklikheid: As ons nie nou aandag aan die uitdaging gee nie, sal vergiftiging bly voorkom.

As vertrekpunt sou dit wys wees om na die Stad Kaapstad se verordening (2010) te kyk wat die aanhou van diere reguleer. Dis duidelik dat die verantwoordelikheid en aanspreeklikheid by die aanhou van honde en katte verskil. In kort, ’n hondeienaar is wetlik verplig om sy hond binne sy erf te hou.

Sodra hy openbare eiendom betree, moet dit onder die beheer van sy eienaar wees en aan ’n leiband wees. ’n Hondeienaar is verantwoordelik vir sy hond se gedrag en kan aanspreeklik gehou word vir die “skade” wat sy hond mag aanrig. ’n Kateienaar aan die ander kant het geen verantwoordelikheid om sy kat tot sy erf te beperk nie. ’n Kat hoef ook nie onder beheer van sy eienaar te wees as hy openbare eiendom betree nie en soos dit tans staan, is ’n kateienaar ook nie verantwoordelik vir die “skade” wat sy kat aanrig nie, mits binne ’n siviele regsgeding.

Katte en honde is nie dieselfde nie, en daarom kan geredeneer word waarom daar ’n verskil is in eienaars se verantwoordelikheid. Katte vang muise en rotte en hou ’n pesbeheervoordeel in. Verkeerd. Die jongste navorsing wys katte sal ’n muis per

geleentheid vang, maar vir rotte is hulle maar skrikkerig, terwyl ander inheemse spesies deurloop en gevolglik is katte verantwoordelik vir grootskaalse omgewingskade.

Die impak van huiskatte op verkleurmannetjies, akkedisse en tuinvoëls, is angswekkend.

Die omgewingsimpak van katte bring ’n nuwe dimensie tot die debat, wat ons opnuut dwing om te kyk na verantwoordelike kateienaarskap binne die raamwerk van die wet.

Het jy al blomme in jou beddings geplant en met katmis in aanraking gekom en die stank daarvan verduur? Het jy al op ’n warm somersnag wakker geword van ’n mannetjieskat wat deur jou venster gekom het en jou huis en gordyne besproei het en jy nie van die reuk ontslae kan raak nie?

Het jy ’n voëlvoerder in jou tuin en telkemale sien jy hoe ’n kat jou tuinvoëls wat jy voer, vang. As die voorgenoemde vir jou bekend klink en jy nie eens die eienaar van ’n kat is nie, is dit hier waar kattekwaad kan lei tot buretwis. As ’n mens dan die kat kan identifiseer en weet wie die eienaar is, en die eienaar nader, is die reaksie gewoonlik een van die volgende: Jammer, maar dis nie moontlik om my kat net in die huis te hou nie; jy weet hulle loop rond, veral in die nag. Meneer, plaas jou voëlvoerder só dat my kat dit nie kan bereik nie. Die werklikheid is dat kateienaars verwag dat jy op jou erf op jou koste voorsiening moet maak om hul katte van jou erf te hou. Niemand se vryheid kan so ver strek dat dit ’n ander se vryheid oorskry of inperk nie. So dis hier waar mense uit radeloosheid hulle wend tot metodes wat onaanvaarbaar en wreed is, en dis nie die kat se skuld nie.

Gekyk na gepubliseerde navorsing is ’n huiskat niks

anders as ’n miniatuur mak “leeu” nie. Die katte wat in navorsing gemonitor is, is goed versorg en gevoed, maar hul instinktiewe gedrag, spesifiek om te “jag”, het nou ’n omgewingsrisiko vir ander inheemse diere geword.

Wetenskaplik, as gekyk word na ’n huiskat, is dit nie ’n inheemse spesie nie en kan katte werklik geklassifiseer word as ’n “wilde dier”, want dit is die gedrag wat hulle natuurlik openbaar en hulle ’n kat maak. In vergelyking met ander wilde diere kan ’n mens redeneer dat jy ’n permit moet hê om ’n kat te kan aanhou as gevolg van die “wilde” natuur. Die instink om te jag, het niks te doen met “honger” nie, maar is eie aan hul gedrag.

As ’n gedeelte van die oplossing sou die eerste vertrekpunt wees om die munisipale verordening te wysig en meer verantwoordelike en aanspreeklike kateienaarskap te inkorporeer.

Kateienaars, net soos hondeienaars, moet verplig word om hul katte te beperk tot hul eienaars se eiendom.

As ’n kateienaar nou sou redeneer dat dit te veel sou kos om dit te doen en onprakties is, jammer. Hondeienaars moes nog altyd die verantwoordelikheid en gepaardgaande koste dra. So as jy dit nie kan bybring nie, kan jy ongelukkig nie ’n kat aanhou nie.

Die tyd het gekom om kateienaarskap in heroorweging te bring. Birdlife SA is tans besig om sy beleid rondom huiskatte as gevolg van hul omgewingsimpak te hersien. Ek het ’n skrywe aan ons DA-verteenwoordiger, Marian Nieuwoudt, gerig in die verband, om te verneem wat die proses is wat gevolg moet word om die wysiging van ’n verordening te versoek, maar het nog geen antwoord gekry nie.

Padtekens vir pret gevandaliseer Gisteraand het ons ’n lawaai buite gehoor en toe ons uitkyk, sien ons sowat vier kinders, waaronder ook ’n meisie, op die hoek van Skaamrosie- en Klipkersstraat in Proteavallei – besig om ’n stopteken uit die grond te ruk en onder groot gelag weg te dra. Is dit die soort “grap” wat ons as wetsgehoorsame burgers in ons woonbuurt moet verduur as die Stadsraad se eiendom teen belastingbetalersgeld gevandaliseer word? Die sekerheidspersoneel wat rondtes in die buurt ry, het daarop afgekom. Ons weet presies uit watter huis die sondaars kom.

Vanoggend lê die stopteken op sy sy op die sypaadjie op die oorkantse straathoek – verlate en vergete, met die risiko dat voertuie nie by die stop gaan stilhou nie.

BEKOMMERD Proteavallei

Skrywers hou van stembande rek Baie mense kla oor enkele goed, soos die inwoner van Bellville oor blaffende honde.

Ja, my kleintjie is al lankal dood oor die bure wat skynbaar nie hul eie honde hoor nie. Hulle lees ook ongelukkig nie die TygerBurger nie.

Ek woon baie naby die Kuilsrivier. Dit is ’n nes wat niemand raaksien nie, buiten die inbrekers en bergies. Jy kan ’n prys wen as jy ’n council werker daar sien werk. Die vullis-“brigade” is ook Maandae doenig om jou sypaadjie met jou eie vullis te bestrooi. Die donkiekarre ry tuinvullis van een erf, waar hulle betaal word, tot ’n volgende erf, waar hulle dit neersmyt. Met my eie oë gesien! Einde van die maand is dit ’n posman met die erfbelastingrekening.

OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD)?

We have resumed recruitment of participants for a study on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and the brain.

This study investigates how the brains of people with OCD work in comparison to the brains of healthy individuals. It also looks at response to medication in a subset of people with OCD.

Baseball unions plan for a safe return EARL HAUPT @earlhaupt

A

s the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays continue their battle for the Commissioner’s Trophy across the Atlantic Ocean in Texas, plans are afoot locally to pave the way for a safe return to baseball activity.

Following extensive meetings by the South African Baseball Union (Sabu) and its constituents last week, the Cape Town Baseball Federation (CTBF) held its annual general meeting (AGM) on Sunday 18 October in Claremont to discuss the way forward after studying Sabu’s recommendations.

In a letter addressed to provincial and district federations, the South African Baseball Union outlined a three-phase approach to the resumption of activities under the national lockdown level one.

They are: . The preparation of baseball facilities.

This excludes any playing activity. . The start-up of baseball activities, which includes practising, but no matches or competition. . The return to full activity.

“Provincial and district federations and clubs are hereby authorised to gain/request access to baseball facilities under SA Baseball phase one – preparation of baseball activities providing that any local regulations are complied with,” said Sabu president Marc Moreau.

“The main objectives of South African Baseball Union under the three-phase approach is to comply with any national, provincial and local health and safety regulations and rules as well as any additional measures required to ensure the safety and well being of all baseball activities and stakeholders.”

Moreau adds: “The South African Baseball Union will issue separate authorisation letters for phase two and phase three to

The general view of the baseball diamond at Durbanville Baseball Club as the grounds are being prepared for a safe return to activity. its resumption of Baseball activities.”

As a result, the CTBF has instructed clubs to prepare their facilities with a deadline of Sunday 31 October set for clubs to inform CTBF of their readiness to be inspected.

Further to that, a newly established CTBF task team will meet with Sabu to discuss the recommendations for the second phase of a return to action, according to CTBF public relations officer Deidré Marquard, who adds that CTBF has provided clubs with a 32-page document with guidelines for them to adhere to before moving onto the next phase.

The guidelines include the establishment of a compliance officer by every club, the screening and testing of players and officials as well as the keeping of a health protocol register. Once clubs are given the go-ahead to return to training, clubs are advised to conduct staggered training sessions in order to limit the number of players on the field at any time and that a maximum of two teams can occupy a single field where a 100m² field can be divided into two training areas.

All equipment, whether they share or privately owned, must be sanitised between uses and while no spectators are permitted

at any senior matches or training, parents of players in junior teams will have to abide

by Covid-19 protocols when in attendance and players are encouraged not to use change rooms. All should adhere to physical distancing and adopt the principle: “Get in, train, get out”.

A series of controls have also been put in place at baseball facilities. Players are to

prepare their own meals before arriving at a facility as no meals will be prepared or sold at facilities. They are also instructed not to share water bottles, with clubs required to have a dedicated isolation area available to any person who may be displaying Covid-19 symptoms.

Meanwhile, the City of Cape Town has confirmed that their sports facilities are available for booking through the normal booking procedures, but that they are required to complete a Covid-19 declaration form.

The City still reserves the right to terminate access and usage in the event of non-compliance by any sports body.

“We, therefore, ask for your patience and understanding where facilities are not available at this initial stage of opening up. Sporting bodies must therefore consult and familiarise themselves with the content of the level one regulations and the directions to ensure compliance with all legislative, operational, health and safety protocols prescribed therein,” states the head of programmes, events and partnerships within the recreation and parks department, Franklin Anthony, in a letter addressed to all sporting bodies.

Pool breaks cycle of crime across Cape Town SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121

A plan to eradicate the lure of gangsterism for youngsters include cues, a felt table and 16 polished balls.

This is the aim of the Innovative Consistent Upliftment Pool Union (ICUPU) who launched the first of many events in Heideveld on Saturday 24 October.

Noticing the power of the fairly unrecognised formal sporting code, Denver Pienaar founded the Intelligent Creative Unit (ICU) Pool Club in Matroosfontein with his son in mind.

After reaching out to other clubs in areas such as Ravensmead, Eureka Estate and Heideveld, Pienaar says they saw a common goal and established the union which they hope will be recognised in the sporting code.

Their first event was a junior pool tournament at the Peak Pool Club’s home base in Devil’s Peak Road, Heideveld.

Toyer Samuels of the Peak Pool Club says they started the club to keep children out of the grasp of gangsterism but, unfortunately, the lure is too great for some.

“In Heideveld, there is a lot of gangsterism. From young ages, children are swearing. You do not get the respect from them.

This is something that changed that. It even changed our own home,” he says.

Losing children to gangsterism from preteen ages in Heideveld is common but Samuels is not about to let that happen to his young son. When the opportunity to revive pool in Heideveld was presented by Pienaar, who suggested the tournament, Samuels joined the union.

“Through pool, we saw discipline. In pool, there is great respect. This is what we want to bring back to Heideveld. Get the children off the streets and playing pool, that their parents know where they are,” he says.

Eltino Meyer from ICU Pool Club

“Children today are not raised the way we grew up. They can do nothing without fighting but I believe this will bring a change. Everyone is excited and curious,” he says.

Financial constraints is another factor that affects attendance, says Samuels, something they try to overcome through their own funding. His siblings, Moosa and Mariam Samuels, all started playing with their brother Toyer and recall how the game brings children and families together.

Mariam says the benefits of the game is lost because it is not recognised as a formal sporting code at the same level of soccer and cricket, something they hope can change. Her son is one of the players from Peak Pool Club who has played more professionally.

Pienaar says in many areas, the socioeconomic problems with gangsterism and crime are the same and the benefits of establishing the pool union will appeal to all communities plagued by these ills.

“We realise our visions and goals are the same and this is the first of many events.

What we are establishing here we will replicate in other communities,” he says.

“The sporting code is very diversified.

There are so many variations of pool that it can appeal to many. Everything we do now, we are doing from our own pockets.

We do not have any sponsors.”

Their next step is to also establish a women’s league which will train and encourage girls to play the game as well.

The goal is to create a new breed of quality players from communities, hosting events in the communities, rather than at big pool halls that costs teams a lot of money.

The junior tournament was arranged in a few weeks with five clubs participating.

The clubs were ICU Pool Club, Vipers Pool Club u.18 1, Vipers Pool Club u.18 2, Bad Boys Pool Club u.18 and Peak Pool Club. The tournament was won by ICU who beat Vipers 1 11 to 8.

ACKERMAN CHAMPIONSHIP: SECOND TITLE IN FOUR YEARS

Kaylah holes out for win D

urbanville-based golfer Kaylah Williams put the perfect exclamation mark on her final competitive appearance for the 2020 season with a masterful victory in the prestigious Ackerman Championship.

The 18-year-old fashioned a blistering closing loop of 31 strokes, featuring an eagle and four birdies in the final round at Clovelly Country Club on Sunday 18 October to win by seven shots from Ekurhuleni’s Nadia van der Westhuizen.

Her six-under-par 210 triumph marked a welcome return to the winner’s circle for the GolfRSA Elite Squad member since her Pro Shop Gauteng Open victory in May last year.

“It feels absolutely fantastic to lift a trophy again, especially in my last ranking event for the season,” said Williams.

“With the matric finals just around the corner, this was my last event and I really, really wanted to finish the season on a high note. I am extremely proud to have done just that.”

Williams, who is a learner at Fairmont High School, was only 14 when she lifted the sought-after Gus Ackerman Trophy for the first time, but she was just as thrilled the second time around to add her name to a winner’s list that includes SA Golf Hall of Famers Wendy Warrington and Gilly Tebbutt, Ladies European Tour winner Ashleigh Buhai, Sunshine Ladies Tour champions Bertine Strauss, Nobuhle Dlamini and Carrie Park and former SA Women’s Match Play champion Cara Gorlei.

“It’s a huge honour to put my name on this list twice, because the Ackerman Championship is one of the oldest and most esteemed events on the Western Province Golf calendar and one of those events that has gained huge national support,” Williams said.

“We are so grateful to the Ackerman family and Pick n Pay for sponsoring the Ackerman Championship for the last 40 years and for their continued support of amateur golf.

“I also owe a big debt of gratitude to Womens Golf Western Province for pulling me into their High Performance Squad, Womens Golf South Africa for all the opportunities they have given me through the GolfRSA Elite Squad and my family and coach for always having me back. It’s a great feeling to pay back all the trust and energy that they have all invested in me.”

Williams had reached the number two spot in the Womens Golf South Africa Open

Amateur rankings when she was forced to take a break from competitive golf to undergo knee surgery late last year.

She showed an impressive return to form in the Aon SA Women’s Stroke Play Championship, where she tied for third and – having reached the semi-final of the Aon SA Women’s Match Play Championship at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club – Williams was geared for a successful season.

Unfortunately the Covid-19 lockdown in March put paid to her goals.

“We all accepted that the lockdown was

crucial to curb the spread of the coronavirus, but it was hugely disappointing to have the season cut off so abruptly just when I felt I had gained some real traction,” Williams said. Williams and defending champion Vicki Traut shared the first round lead at Clovelly and the pair remained tied for the lead after carding successive rounds of 72.

However, the Durbanville Golf Club member broke away with back-to-back birdies at the third and fourth holes. She gave a shot back on the par three sixth, but turned with a slender one shot lead.

The eagle on 10 set the tone for her winning performance.

“My dad and I were standing on the edge of the green and I told him he didn’t even need to take out the putter. I just had that feeling and I chipped it in. Then, after I had a bit of a stumble on 12, I told him now we need to make some birdies.”

Williams fired four birdies on the bounce, giving her a five-shot cushion with two to play. She sealed the seven-stroke victory after Van der Westhuizen dropped on 15 and 16.

Power Series racing continues to thrill at Killarney Killarney International Raceway’s motorsport fans, globally watching the event via live stream, were treated to a glimpse of what international sports and GT class racing is like at Round 5 of the Power Series on Saturday 24 October, in the headline Ons Huisie 100, over 31 laps or 101.27km.

To the surprise of many, what was expected to be something of a tactical contest with slick fuel stops and driver changes turned out to be a foot-flat 31 lap sprint.

None of the cars made a pit stop and their lap times were only marginally slower, if at all than in a normal 10 lap sprint race.

Steve Humble romped away to lights-toflag win, setting the fastest lap of the race (and the day), a blistering 1 min 10.509sec, just short of the halfway point on lap 15.

He came under a serious challenge in the early stages, however, from Josh Broome, who managed to stay in touch until the Radical went sick on lap 23.

Nevertheless, Broome had done enough to be classified in the results and, as the only Class A entry, duly won his class.

With Broome out, second overall went to Class B hotshot Gary Kieswetter, just one lap down on Humble after 37 minutes of superb action, with Martin Pugh’s Appleberry CanAm third overall and second in Class B. The biggest field of the day rolled out for the two Mikes Place Clubmans races, with 31 cars on the grid. Race 1 was a classic as Danie van Niekerk, Brennon Green, Basie Burger and Cody Alberts battled it out for the lead. In the end none of the three challengers could get quite close enough to make a move on Van Niekerk, who came home less than half a second ahead of Green, with Alberts a surprise third, 1.49sec further adrift, after Burger dropped back in the final two laps.

Van Niekerk made a poor start in Race

2, lying third after the opening lap behind Burger and Green. He moved up to second when Burger slowed on lap four and dropped out a lap later, but was unable to close in on Green, who finished just over a second ahead of Van Niekerk, with Alberts third, six seconds further back.

Franco Donadio romped away to win the first Bejo Trustees Fine and Millstock Classic Cars race by more than eight seconds from fellow Class A competitor Eric van der Merwe after the latter moved up to pass Class S leader Trevor Momberg at half distance.

Race 2 saw closer results all round, as Donadio slowed by about a second a lap, allowing Van der Merwe to close to within half a second at the flag. Momberg, Forbes and Honeywill took the next three places.

Jurie Swart, Colin Meder and Jason Coetzee made the GTi challenge races their own with two exciting tussles at the sharp

end. In the first, Swart led home Meder by three seconds with Coetzee less than half a second further adrift, followed by Dillon Joubert and Charl Visser.

Race 2 was just as close, as Swart led home Coetzee and Meder, all three crossing the line within less than three seconds, followed by Visser, Joubert and Thompson.

In Class C Dario Busi in the Automan Golf bounced back from a disappointing Race 1 to ace Class C in 12th overall.

Fabio Tafani showed why his V8 Masters car carries the No.1 plate with a well-judged win in the first V8 Masters and Makita Formula Supercars race, ahead of arch-rival Marcel Angel and veteran Richard Schreuder.

Late entry David McFadden delivered a master class in racecraft with two superb wins in the RST Suzuki South Superbike races, chased home in each case by Kewyn Snyman.
