No to these speed humps AVRIL FILLIES
B
elgravia Road in Athlone does not meet the City of Cape Town’s Traffic Calming directives for building of speed humps. This is the reply by Felicity Purchase, Mayco member for transport, after a complaint by Belgravia resident Tabrez Sayed, who said motorists are using the road as a racetrack. “I have been living in Belgravia for the past ten years and have witnessed animals being ripped apart or drunk drivers that ignore stop signs. The noise from the cars speeding down Belgravia Road is enough to give you a heart attack and we have sickly, senior citizens living in the area. In Belgravia we also have a lot of schools and crèches and the kids are using the road,” Sayed says. His suggestion is to put humps in Belgravia Road as there are four blocks separated in each avenue from Lower Klipfontein to Veld roads and the humps will reduce speeding early in the morning. Sayed also mentions that schools, churches, crèches or mosques are only found from 1st to 8th Avenue in Belgravia. “There is a speed hump by the Wembley Roadhouse and the owner paid for it himself. According to my research speed humps would assist our kids to cross the busy and dangerous Belgravia Road,” Sayed says. Purchase said Belgravia Road is a Class 4 Collector Street and/or Class 5 Local Street, close to public facilities and schools. “The highest concentration of vulnerable road users are typically encountered here and is the primary focus of attention,” Purchase says. “Belgravia Road is a Class 4 Route, which functions as a Class 3 Route, as it is a public transport and emergency route through the area and plays a vital role in supporting the

greater road network, linking Klipfontein Road (M18), Kromboom Road (M43), Repulse Road, Lawson Road and (further South to Lawson) Turfhall Road (M24), in which case it is important for mobility to be retained. “Belgravia Road has relatively straight and even alignment with a travel way of approximately 8.5m from kerb to kerb and offers good sight distance along its length. One of the accesses to Heatherton Primary School fronts onto Belgravia Road, and there is an access to the rear of the College of Cape Town, where the City has installed a signalised pedestrian crossing and advanced school warning signage,” she says. Following a meeting with business owners and the City’s Traffic Services, the Transport Network Development department supported implementation of a large 30m long raised table at the intersection of Belgravia and Denchworth roads, due to high vehicle and pedestrian activity. This was to be implemented at the cost of a local business, Purchase says. “Further to this, we have assessed most of the roads identified in the letter. However, they have not all met policy directives either. “We are supporting speed humps for Seventh Avenue, Veld Road and St Athans Road and these will be constructed in the coming financial year 2020/’21. The current Traffic Calming Policy does however make allowance for consideration of non-school sites “where there has been a recent serious incident”. If, therefore, there is a history of such recent serious incidents that we are unaware of, there may be opportunity to consider a request for calming in terms of that policy provision (subject to compliance with other policy provisions). Typically, this option would require external funding,” Purchase says.

Hunt on for two men sought for hijacking in Heideveld A driver who went to collect a passenger in Heideveld on Saturday 16 November at 16:00 jumped out of his car after he was threatened with a knife and a firearm by two men. “When the driver collected the passenger, he was requested to pick up his brother in Athlone as well. “After picking up the brother, the passenger took out a knife and the brother a firearm,” says Sergeant Zita Norman, the
spokesperson for Athlone police. The driver then jumped out of the vehicle and the two men drove off in the grey Polo Vivo. “No shots were fired and no injuries sustained. The vehicle was later found abandoned at Athlone Stadium. A case of hijacking was opened at the Athlone police station,” Norman says. Anyone with information can call Athlone police on 021 697 9238/39.

Soccer legends, juniors honoured AVRIL FILLIES
S
occer enthusiasts have the opportunity to not only honour seven living legends from the first professional soccer club Ramblers, but also the u.10 youth team that won the Dubai Super Cup in 2018. Four of the living legends are in Cape Town, two in Australia and one in Canada.
The four legends from Cape Town that will be honoured on Saturday 30 November at the Country Manor Schaapkraal are: Conrad “Coenie” Stuurman, Robert “Bobby” Proctor, Basil “Puzzy” Jansen and Vincent “Vince” Belgians. “The Legends is a voluntary organisation chaired by ex-soccer player Edries Burton and was established to assist all soccer play-
ers, but especially the older ones who did not earn much money in their time and often do not have any funds when a crisis arises. The four octogenarians/septagenarians we are honouring are the oldest members of the organisation and the only remaining members of what was known as Ramblers FC back in the days,” says Naadir Hodgson, manager of the Mini Soccer

On Saturday 2 November, a benefit tournament was played for the legends and on Tuesday 5 November they were entertained by the South African Football Association (Safa) with a lunch. “The youngsters we are honouring are the boys who won the u.10 Dubai Super Cup in April 2018, won the Clyde-Pinelands u.12 tournament in November 2018 and won the Blackpool u.11 Schools tournament earlier this year. They were an integral part of the Tramway FC u.12 team that won the Tygerberg District knockout cup a month ago and recently won the Lucky Star/FC KAPSTADT u.11 Cup competition.

The price is R250 per person and a four course meal will be served. “At the function we will be honouring the Dubai team players, but also the four real legends who were recently also honoured by Safa for their contribution to football in the preapartheid era. “Our guest speaker will be Nasief Morris, ex-Bafana Bafana and international player. The tickets include entertainment and an auction besides the meal and we encourage all (old) football supporters to buy one and join us in celebrating the careers of these retired football pioneers,” Hodgson says.

Visit the Spekboom rockery AVRIL FILLIES
H
olidaymakers and residents travelling to Fish Hoek or Muizenberg over the festive season will be greeted by a Spekboom rockery at the entrance of Fish Hoek. “It has taken a year and lots of help from the Fish Hoek Rotarians and locals for the rockery to come into its own. There is still a lot of colour but it was a picture a month ago and has been admired by many people especially in the area,” says Jean Smythe of the Fish Hoek Rotarians. According to her this is the second rockery. “The Spekboom rockery was to be ready in July for the 67 minutes for Mandela Day. Unfortunately, due to the inability to move the huge boulders to the site, it has only been started recently and we still require rocks and Spekboom plants to complete this project,” she says. Spekboom plants are good for the environment as it takes in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. “Rotary does a lot for the community and this project was, in our opinion, very worthwhile as its vibrant colours brought Rotary’s name to many as they passed by. As Rotarians we are always on the lookout for a project which will be beneficial to the community in some way,” she says. Smythe lives across the road from where the first
rockery was built last year after she had seen the deterioration of the road. “In August last year the electricity department of the City of Cape Town laid cables along the top area of the site where we started the rockery. Naturally there was a lot of rubble (stones) which were unearthed and they ‘sort of’ raked the area to get the contour back to what it was prior to the excavation. “When the rains came, there was a lot of run-off and erosion. Nothing was growing in that area and the surrounding area which was not disturbed has some wild grass and many weeds. In Fish Hoek a number of people have made gardens on islands and ‘public’ areas and I thought that it would be wonderful if we could turn this eyesore into something beautiful,” Smythe says. Originally she had wanted to tie the centenary of Madiba and Fish Hoek into a 100 rock garden. She asked the public to bring a rock and one plant to get at least 100 rocks. “I made a list of indigenous plants and succulents available and any type of rock and all sizes were welcomed. We appealed to local businesses and residents for donations, as the City of Cape Town had no funds available for any verges,” she says. If anyone has a rock or rocks or Spekboom plants to donate to the Spekboom project you can contact Jean Smythe on 084 646 0095 or 021 782 1469.

City meets with local seniors NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku Sea Point civic centre was a hive of activity on Wednesday 13 November as about 300 seniors gathered during an outreach by mayor Dan Plato. The event was open to different communities with some seniors transported to the venue in three buses and minibuses. The seniors from Bo-Kaap, Bothasig, District Six, Strand, Ravensmead and Bonteheuwel enjoyed meals, live performances and played games. They were given safety tips and told about services available to them. Key speakers included Plato, ward councillors Dave Bryant and Nicola Jowell, Sea Point police spokesperson Capt Elizabeth Munro and Lisle Lombard, from the City’s social development de-
partment. Plato warned the elderly to be cautious and seek help should they feel threatened. He explained the rebate, which varies between 30% to 80% which they could apply for at City offices. He says though the City offers free basic services for seniors, those who receive a monthly income of more than R3500 are charged. “We do not put our hands in the cookie bar like other municipalities because we respect the people,” says Plato. Lombard explained services her department offered, including family strengthening, arts and crafts and programmes in informal settlements. Munro shared safety tips, saying “seniors are close to our hearts.” We have not experienced any violence or traumatic crime against our senior citizens,” “she said.

thlone police have warned of a spike in the theft of especially Toyotas, Nissans and Fiats in Gatesville, Rylands Estate and wider Athlone since the beginning of the month. “With the festive season approaching Col Mark Adonis, station commander, is appealing to the community of Athlone to be cautious when it comes to their vehicles,” says Sgt Zita Norman, spokesperson for Athlone police. Owners are urged to always lock their vehicles.
“Also make sure the alarm or gear lock is activated to ensure that you do not become a victim of crime,” she asks. According to Norman, the vehicles are stolen throughout the week, mostly between 09:30 and 18:00. “Be vigilant of any suspicious persons, especially where many cars are parked. The community is urged to call Athlone police on 021 697 9238/39.

Speaking out on men’s health NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
T
he Public is urged to support the annual Movember Campaign aimed at raising awareness about men’s health. This appeal was made during the informal discussion about the topic at the Groote Schuur Hospital on Thursday 7 November.
The discussion was a collaboration between two non-profit organisations (NPOs), Project Peacock and Men’s Foundation. Dr Justin Howlett, a urologist at Groote Schuur Hospital, represented Project Peacock as he is its co-founder, while Men’s Foundation was represented by Garron Gsell, the chief executive and its founder. They were joined by a prostate cancer survi-
vor Jacob Abrahams who is one of the patients the campaign has helped. They all spoke about men’s health issues with more focus on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. They also touched on challenges faced by the affected people, and the availability of treatment. They also talked about the fairly new

Low Dose Rate (LDR) brachytherapy exclusively available at Groote Schuur. Howlett says LDR is a form of radiation therapy that helps mostly if the diagnosis is done at the early stage of cancer and guarantees a cure. He says since the treatment was discovered under the belt of Project Peacock, it has so far helped 36 men in two years at an average cost of R35 000 per patient. Howlett says the price is lower than in the private sector, which has in the past made it impossible for most men to access the treatment due to the high cost. He says the treatment at Groote Schuur is made possible through the kindness of initiatives such as Movember led by Men’s Foundation. This is an international foundation focusing on raising awareness and supporting healthy living among men, creating platforms for discussion, fundraising, and support structures to make it comfortable to seek help and talk about the issues. Gsell says that though over the years there has been an improvement in eradicating the stigmas related to men’s issues, there is still a long way to go. He says funding is still a priority, followed by the availability of sustainable healthcare systems focusing on men. Gsell says LDR is one of the few successful initiatives they have supported. Gsell appeals to people to consider donating towards Project Peacock and help a man live longer. Abrahams was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the beginning of the year and received LDR. He says he had a good experience with it. As a pensioner, Abrahams did not have to pay for the treatment and is grateful to those who donated money and made his journey a smooth ride. “I usually went for testing every year. I happened to skip one year (2018) and to my shock, I tested positive this year. I was so scared, I did not have much knowledge about the availability of treatment. But when I found out I did not have to go far to get the help, I was so relieved,” says Abrahams. He says because his family is genetically prone to prostate cancer, it was not difficult for him to talk about it and seek help. V For more information about the Movember campaign visit Movember South Africa Facebook page.
Man (42) says early cancer diagnosis saved his life For financial planner Darren Robertson (42), his prostate cancer diagnosis a year ago was the beginning of a journey which took him from the first visit to urologist Dr Karlheinz Jehle, to a friendship that has seen the two men riding the threeday FNB Wines2Whales Mountain Bike Race together this year. Robertson is a Mo Bro for Movember (www.za.movember.com), a global men’s health charity tackling prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Robertson describes his cancer journey as being “surprisingly positive”. But that doesn’t mean it was easy. He and his wife Loren first heard he had prostate cancer about eight months after the birth of their daughter Rebecca. Robertson was diagnosed with Stage 1 cancer, but a full biopsy carried out after his prostate and seminal vessels were removed in January, showed that his cancer was actually stage 3, and that it had invaded his lymph nodes. “I was lucky,” he says. “If I had not gone for the check up, and if my GP had not suggested a full blood Dr Karlheinz Jehle and Darren Robertson ready to take test and prostate-specific antigen ANGELA GSELL (PSA) measurement, it would have been a very different story.” lead to them undertaking the It was during one of his check-ups with Wines2Whales (28 to 30 October) together.

Jehle lauds Robertson for his bravery in Dr Jehle says he didn’t imagine it would speaking out about his prostate cancer di-
thumb is to have your prostate checked at 45 if you are black or if you have a family history of the disease, and at 50 for everyone else. But if you are worried, go sooner,” he says. “Early detection of prostate cancer can make all the difference. It is so important that men realise that life after a prostate cancer diagnosis is not as bad as you think. It is not the end of your sex life!” Robertson agrees: “I felt calm and supported through the whole process,” he says. “Even the dreaded digital exam wasn’t as bad as everyone makes out – it was so quick and painless.

HEALTH
Choose your poison carefully A
simple test to see how many cockroaches are lurking in the crevices is to switch a light on outside after dark. There is no arguing that the warmer months coincide with an increase in flies, cockroaches and rodents. City health says although pesticide poisoning rates have declined in recent years, the prevalence of deadly illegal pesticides remains a concern. The department urges residents to steer clear of using illegal pesticides to deal with their pest problems this summer. Cheap pesticides – like Two-Step, Green Leaf sachets for cockroaches and flies, Aldicarb, liquid poison mixtures, slug granules and insecticide chalk sticks – are still being sold at some corner shops and informal traders. While it might seem like a cost-effective solution to many, users could end up paying with their lives. City’s Mayco member for community services and health Zahid Badroodien says buying illegal pesticides can have far-reaching effects, including death. “Many of these products are illegal because they can be lethal to humans or household pets. However, they remain in circulation, because they are effective and affordable,” he says. Badroodien says users often don’t realise how dangerous these substances are, because there is no usage pamphlet included, or if the product is imported, the packaging contains a foreign language. “Not only are we concerned about how these products keep making their way into the local market, but also about the accidental ingestion, disposal and impact on the environment.” City Health is among several agencies on the inter-sectoral Pesticide Poisoning Action Group (PPAG). Other participants are Law Enforcement, the police and the department of agriculture, forestry and fisheries. PPAG conducts regular pesticide raids, combined with education and awareness
City health conducts rodent baiting in public spaces and also offers free rodent control services to residents in poorer communities. about the risks of handling illegal pesticides and how to distinguish between these and legally sanctioned substances. In the last financial year (July 2018 – June 2019), City Health recorded 32 cases of pesticide poisoning. “We don’t disagree that summertime pests are a challenge; rather it’s how they are dealt with that needs attention. Flies, roaches and rodents are attracted to food sources presented by household waste and food that’s been left out, including pet food and waste.
“We encourage residents to use this as a starting point which can help them manage the prevalence of pests in their immediate surroundings,” adds Badroodien. Pest management tips include: . Refrain from illegal dumping; . Keep household bins or bin bags sealed, dry (where possible) and stored in a cool place; . Wash and disinfect your bin after every removal; . Keep your refuse bags out of reach of animals; and
Adopt a water safety mindset at the beach For most Capetonians, summer holidays are all about the sun and the sea. But there is another word starting with an “s” that should be at the top of everyone’s list: safety. The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) urges the public to adopt a water safety mindset around coastal and inland waters this festive season. Craig Lambinon, spokesperson for Sea Rescue, says the number one rule for a safe experience at the beach, is to choose a beach that has lifeguards on duty and to swim between their flags. “If you do that, you don’t need to worry about rip currents, or suddenly getting out
of your depth. Putting an arm in the air and waving for help will get a rapid response from the lifeguards on duty,” Lambinon says. For various reasons, people regularly swim where there are no lifeguards on duty. This is when things can go wrong. “In a typical scenario, Sea Rescue gets an emergency call for a swimmer in difficulty. When we get there, we find two or more people in danger of drowning. Tragically, sometimes we are not able to get there in time and someone drowns,” he says. Lambinon says the person who does not survive is often the one who went into the water to help the person in difficulty. “Sea Rescue launched our Pink Rescue
Buoy project in November 2017. These bright pink rescue buoys are hung on strategically placed signs. If there is an incident and someone needs help these buoys can be thrown to the person in trouble in the water,” he says. The emergency number for the closest Sea Rescue station is printed on these signs. Lambinon says the safest thing to do is to call Sea Rescue if they see someone in trouble. “If anyone decides, against advice, to enter the water to try to rescue someone first call Sea Rescue and then use the rescue buoy to provide flotation for the casualty.” Have a plan in place in the event of an

Or Google Sea Rescue or NSRI for the closest Sea Rescue station’s telephone number. . Check the wind, weather and tides before going to the beach, fishing or boating. . Tell someone where you are going and when you are due back, and make sure that they know your route, your intentions and who to call if you don’t return on time. .

Patrons help raise millions of rands for Sunflower Fund More than 130 000 TOPEs were sold at Pick n Pay during the 2019 Sunflower Day campaign, raising R3.9 million to help fight blood diseases like leukaemia through the recruitment of stem-cell donors. The retailer was the first to join forces with the Sunflower Fund 16 years ago – for what was then known as Bandana Day – to help increase the number of critically needed donors on the registry, especially in South Africa. Every year TOPEs are sold in stores, culminating in Sunflower Day on 20 September, to raise awareness and funding for the Sunflower Fund. “This year’s contribution of just under R4 million is testament to the difference each one of us can make. The fact
that the sale of one little item like this can generate something of this magnitude is incredible. We’d like to thank every customer, school and corporate who joined to help make 2019 Sunflower Day the success it was. It wouldn’t have been possible without you,” says Suzanne Ackerman-Berman, director of transformation for the retail giant. Accepting the donation, Alana James, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Sunflower Fund, said that the store has been instrumental in helping raise funds, and in giving the fund such remarkable and ongoing support. “This is making a real difference in giving the hope of life to so many people.”

BRIDGETOWN
Whitaker initiative spreads peace AVRIL FILLIES
A
pproximately 350 young people from gang-ridden communities across Cape Town will benefit from the Whitaker Peace Development Initiative (WPDI) launched on Thursday 14 November in Bridgetown, Athlone. The community learning centre is situated in Tarentaal Street, Bridgetown. The Hollywood actor and founder of the WPDI, Forest Whitaker, attended the launch and said the peace programme will promote youth, peace and entrepreneurship on the Cape Flats. Whitaker says the centre in Bridgetown comes three months after the launch of the Youth Peacemaker Network – the flagship programme of the WPDI. “The success of the WPDI Youth Peacemaker Network lies in the trust that the programme creates in the community. The youth we train are from the community and work for it. “Our programme becomes what they make of it. Our approach will be the same on the Cape Flats, where we will be providing young women and men with tools and resources that they can put to use in their daily lives,” he says. The five-year programme - in partnership with French bank BNP Paribas and their local subsidiary, consumer finance business RCS – works to support 45 Capetonians to educate the 350 young people. They will become social development ambassadors who can mediate conflicts and foster peace after completing the programme. The youth on the Cape Flats face violence every day, and being immersed in these conditions all the time, makes it seem almost impossible to change – and certainly not without support, says programme director of the WPDI, Dr Chance Chagunda. Whitaker adds: “As you will know, like war and unrest in other parts of the world, gangsterism and gang violence on the Cape Flats is brought about by complex political, social and economic factors. Yet, when people are free to choose, they will always choose peace,” he says. Before the press conference in Athlone, Whitaker attended press conferences at Ce-
dar High in Rocklands, Mitchell’s Plain, and the RCS Call Centre where he spoke to learners and staff. The 45 trainers are from areas most affected by gang violence in Cape Town and were chosen in August, based on their experience and ability to act as agents of change in their communities. “Over the next three years, the pro-
The programme has been rolled out in communities impacted by conflict in other parts of the word, namely; South Sudan, Uganda, America and Mexico. He hopes to have the same success in Cape Town as elsewhere. Also in attendance were the Mayor of Cape Town Dan Plato, and Antoine Sire, head of engagement at BNP Paribas.
At the panel discussion at the launch in Bridgetown were, from left: Vikas Khandelwal, CEO of BNP Paribas South Africa, Regan Adams, CEO of RCS Group, Forest Whitaker, Mayor Dan Plato and Antoine Sire, director of the engagement department and member of the executive committee at BNP Paribas.
Students graduate with skills The students that attended the skills programme at the Cape Flats Development Association (Cafda) centre in Philippi graduated on Friday 8 November. Cafda provides much-needed support to individuals from less privileged backgrounds. “Cafda provides opportunities to people to gain qualifications that can allow them to earn a living. “For a couple of years now, Muslim Hands in Rylands Estate, Athlone, has been sponsoring individuals to gain skills training and development with Cafda. This year, Muslim Hands provided full sponsorships to 40 students, who attained qualifications in plumbing, electrical and welding,” says Aisha Adam, spokesperson for Muslim Hands. On Friday, the students graduated, attaining qualifications that can change their
gramme will help empower approximately 2 400 youth to become leaders and champions to address problems in their schools and communities,” Whitaker says. The mission of the WPDI is to empower young men and women living in vulnerable areas to become leaders, peacemakers and entrepreneurs in their communities and to bring about peace and stability.
lives. The training provides them with a means to start afresh, get employed, earn a living, and support their families. They all thanked the organisation for making this possible. Sheikh Haashim Peck, programmes manager for Muslim Hands, said they are happy to be part of the project. “It gives a sense of satisfaction to know that Muslim Hands has an involvement towards the development of individuals who want to make a positive difference for themselves,” he says. Dignitaries present at the event included president and first deputy president of the MJC, Sheikh Erefaan Abrahams and Moulana Abdul Khaliq Allie. Taj Aklekar, senior board member of Cafda was also present and thanked Muslim Hands for reaching out to the students and choosing Cafda as a partner.

hile retrenchments at the Students’ Health and Welfare Centres Organisation (Shawco) has placed 33 of its permanent staff members in a precarious position, the possible impact the ongoing restructuring process at the non-profit organisation (NPO) might have on vulnerable communities reliant on its services, may affect thousands. At present Shawco’s health programme provides primary healthcare to 5 000 adults and children annually through fully equipped mobile clinics. The organisation has about 3 000 student volunteers run over 15 health and education projects in five Shawco centres as well as other locations around the Cape Metropolitan area. Notices of contemplated retrenchments were issued to all Shawco staff members on 30 August. In a letter dated Wednesday 6 November and addressed to the University and Allied Workers Union (UAWU) official Sandile Mandla, Professor Steve Reid, the interim Shawco board chair, confirmed “it will unfortunately not be possible to continue paying salaries after November”. In response to a question from People’s Post, asking if all of the 33 staff members would be retrenched, UCT answered that the process would lead to some staff members being retrenched. “However, a number of part-time positions will be filled from January 2020,” it responded. Asked who would take over the management of the NPO’s programmes, UCT said there would still be some administrative staff members to manage Shawco’s initiatives. The university said the health programme would be managed by student volunteers and administrative staff. In a statement released on 12 November, UCT said, Shawco would continue operating as a non-profit organisation but would reduce the level of activities according to available funding.
“Despite the current challenges, Shawco’s key activities has been continuing. All the medical activities have continued. However, the educational activities have been reduced. This is normal at this time of year when students are writing exams and winding up towards the end of the year,” the statement read. In response to People’s Post query on which education programmes would be kept and which would be discarded, UCT said it was too soon to determine. “Shawco is currently in a transition period and this process requires time to be concluded.” The NPO is the oldest social responsiveness arm of the UCT. It was established in 1943 by Andrew Kinnear, a UCT medical student. Over the past 75 years, the organisation has created the space for thousands of student volunteers to engage in areas of health, education and social entrepreneurship; providing services to several communities including Gugulethu, Khayelitsha, Noordhoek, Nyanga, Joe Slovo, Dunoon, Manenberg, Kensington, and Mitchell’s Plain. As a registered NPO under the Non-Profit Organisations Act of 71, it has a separate existence from UCT. The university said, like many other NPOs, Shawco is dependent on funding from external sources, in addition to the funds provided by UCT. “As a result of the tough economic climate, the available funding for nonprofit organisations has diminished significantly and Shawco has been affected by this too. This has led to the ongoing restructuring process.” In a statement, UCT said it remained fully committed to supporting the work done by Shawco. “The current situation requires an immediate response and the UCT executive leadership is committed to finding a viable and mutually beneficial solution that will ensure that the legacy of Shawco is preserved.” The statement concluded that UCT wished to rebuild Shawco to be a thriving student-led enterprise.

Cape trio plays for Swedish Masters NOORE NACERODIEN
Molaba had a superb tourna- Women’s Super League team. ment ending 4th in the batting with Eagles and the Swedish intend to an average of 500 and 5th in the continue this relationship going pitching striking out 34 batters in into the future. the process. The 41-year-old former South African international has played at one Junior World Championship, three senior World Championships, one Commonwealth Games and has toured overseas on 11 different occasions. Molaba is renowned for his winning run in the 2000 World Series in East London. But now, even as his energy has shifted mostly to coaching, Molaba could be set to add another golden moment. “By accepting the invitation, we will continue to strengthen the relationship between Khayelitsha Eagles and the Sweden Softball Federation,” he said. Locally, Molaba coaches the Eagles Men Thuto Makolomakoe, Terence White and Moses side and the Falcons Molaba.
T
he relationship between Khayelitsha Eagles Softball Club and the Swedish Softball Association took another positive turn recently. Moses Molaba, Thuto Makolomakoe and Terence White were guest players for Sweden in the European Masters Softball Cup played in Barcelona, Spain. They were invited by their local Swedish player, Karl Heljm, who plays for Eagles as part of an agreement between the two organisations. The men’s edition of this tournament consisted of eight teams from six different countries. For the round-robin phase, the teams played in two groups. Denmark All Stars and Magos Tenerife remained undefeated in their group, thus securing the first two spots in the winners’ group. Runners up, with both one loss and two wins, were the Israel Stars and Capitalinos Gran Canaria. Magos Tenerife remained the only undefeated team throughout the event and deserved the title. “The experience of playing in this event was great,” said Molaba who has vast experience in the international softball scene.
