Construction is still under way at the new ECD Centre in Heideveld.
HEIDEVELD | WELCOME ESTATE | VANGUARD ESTATE
ECD to serve community AVRIL FILLIES
T
he Early Childhood Development Centre (ECD) in Heideveld, built at a cost of R13 million, will accommodate approximately 150 children in the infant, toddler and pre-schooler age groups and will serve the Heideveld, Welcome Estate and Vanguard Estate communities. The ECD Centre is part of the capital budget of the City of Cape Town’s directorate of community services and health of just more than R366 million in this financial year spread across four departments, namely recreation and parks, health, social development, early childhood development and library and information services.
From synthetic pitches to clinics and the restoration of historic buildings, the directorate is juggling multiple projects across the metropole. “This is about ensuring access to quality services and facilities for our residents, in their communities, for their communities. Each project that the City undertakes is preceded by public participation, which gives everyone a voice in the development of their area, and helps develop a sense of ownership and shared responsibility for these facilities,” says Mayor Dan Plato. The budget is earmarked for new developments, as well as upgrades of existing facilities. “The City has hundreds of facilities across the metropole, but we recognise that
the ever-growing list of needs outstrips supply and that’s why we are investing heavily in expanding our portfolio of community facilities, whether it be clinics, libraries or recreational spaces,” Plato says. “It is envisaged that the ECD in Heideveld should be open sometime in the new year and will be utilised as soon as an operator has been appointed,” says Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health in the City. The facility in Heideveld will consist of classrooms, play areas and ablution facilities in accordance with specifications set out for ECD Centres. The start of the construction of the Heideveld ECD was marked with a sod-turning in
September last year. At the event emphasis was once again placed on the importance of early learning and development that leads to success in future years of the child. The ECD in Heideveld is designed to be water and energy-efficient and includes natural ventilation and lighting for long-term sustainability. Other design features include the optimum use of environmental elements such as the sun and wind in conjunction with green technologies such as solar panels. The emphasis is on reducing the need for electricity as solar panels reduce this demand by at least 50%. This also leads to a reduction in operational savings for water and electricity.

ome people love it. Some people hate it. But whatever your feelings on Black Friday, the one thing you can’t do is ignore it. South African retailers and consumers have embraced America’s favourite shopping day in all its excess. And in case you thought we might have a subdued Black Friday this year, search trends show otherwise. Black Friday can be incredibly profitable for retailers and smart consumers alike, but we need to go into it with a reality check. It’s been an incredibly tough financial year for us as South Africans, and we can’t go in with the same mind-set of finding a bargain at any cost. Half of Black Friday accounts are in arrears six months down the line. I’m a big believer that Black Friday is a marvellous opportunity for retail, but there’s a way to do it wrong and a way to do it right. And I’m not just talking about avoiding frenzied crowds bashing down doors. As the CEO of TransUnion Africa, I get to see a different picture than most people, and how their spending and lending habits on Black Friday might affect them down the line. It’s been speculated by many commentators that Black Friday is one of the more dangerous times of the year for poor credit behaviour if consumers don’t carefully think about their purchases before swiping. To confirm this, we looked at new account openings made during the week of Black Friday 2018 (19-26 November) compared to the same week a month before. The results were eye-opening. We found that people were more likely to take out loans and increase their spending limits during the Black Friday period – to the tune of a 37% increase in new accounts and a 21% increase in total credit limits for new credit cards, clothing and retail revolving accounts. The majority of this growth came from higher-risk loans – there was a 49% increase
HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED? If you have been seriously injured in amotor vehicle accident, train accident, police shooting or due to medical negligence, you may have a claim against a government department for compensation. If you have put in a claim directly with the Road Accident Fund without using an attorney and feel that you have been underpaid or are dissatisfied with their service, we may be able to assist you.

in retail instalment accounts (normally used for furniture and electronics) and a 30% increase in retail revolving accounts (normally used for electronics, homeware and general appliances). That’s not unexpected – home electronics and appliances are as much a part of Black Friday as presents and crackers are of Christmas. The problem comes after the madness has worn off. Our data shows that six months on, just over half of new retail revolving accounts taken out during Black Friday 2018 were more than one month in arrears. So, shoppers beware. That flat screen TV or PlayStation that’s on special for half the price might seem like a good bargain at the time, but it could lead to some very nasty debt down the road. Top Tips for Beating the Black Friday Blues Now for the good news. Black Friday doesn’t have to end in tears and arrears. By following these simple rules you can avoid getting caught up in the hype and walking away with a maxed-out credit card and seven new retail store accounts you can’t afford.
Start with a health check Before you start dreaming of shopping carts full of electronics, take the time to know your own financial health. Do you know what you already owe? Have you pulled your credit report to see whether you have debts you are unaware of? The more you understand your current financial health, the more realistically you can set limits as to what you can afford. Know your target It pays to do some basic prep work in the weeks leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Go in with a plan of what you’re looking to get out of it – is your washing machine in need of an upgrade, for example? Focus on a few things that you need, especially when it comes to big ticket items like furniture and home appliances. Be ruthless if you have to be – if you want five things, but can only afford one, rather devote your time and energy to the one thing you need the most. Don’t roll the dice when it comes to price With your targets set, it’s time to do the
Set your sights on the right sites Just like there’s nothing more fun than hitting the jackpot, there’s also nothing more annoying than missing out on it because you’re too slow. Let your Black Friday wish list guide you. Bookmark the relevant retail sites and even product listings if you’re looking for a very specific item, in order to instantly access them on Black Friday. Sign up to newsletters and download the relevant apps to be served push notifications and check the best deal round-ups that many sites release. Assuming they’re not overrun with people, visit a few stores in your area that sell the items on your wish list and head straight to what you’re looking for. Think before you pay Before you finalise your shopping cart or head to the till, take one final look at what you’re about to buy. If you’ve done the research, you should have a good feel for what counts as a well-priced item and what you can get for nearly the same price or don’t really need. Pay cash where possible instead of signing up for a new account or charging to your credit card. When in doubt, drop whatever doesn’t offer good value or isn’t one of your must-haves. – Lee Naik, CEO TransUnion Africa

Put your chips aside Waking up on Black Friday can feel like stepping into a casino – there’s just way too much to see, do and spend, and you’ve got the temptation to play until you hit the jackpot and find a really great bargain. That’s why it’s a good idea to follow the old gambler’s credo of only putting down what you’re willing to lose. Set a maximum spend limit based on your research of what your must-have items cost and what you can afford, and stick closely to it on the day.

Donations help children’s home AVRIL FILLIES
W
hen Alicia Rhoda of the Christine Revel Children’s Home for abused and neglected children in Athlone contacted Alfonso Stoffels from Nickay Productions in Bellville for donations, he didn’t think twice to assist. “Caregivers at creches, pre-schools or after-care centres are known for making a fuss of the children in their care and they don’t expect to be fussed over in return. Before the donations were handed over, we spoiled them with a meal, entertainment and a photoshoot,” says Stoffels. His company donated three hair clippers for the different sections at the home, fluorescent light bulbs and money for disposable nappies. “We approached some of our business associates to join in on the Mandela Day celebrations and we collectively honoured the caregivers with the meal, entertainment and photoshoot. “We made a huge fuss of them to say thank your for their contribution to the children’s well-being,” Stoffels says. The donations were handed over at different times during the year and his partners were 45 Connections, Fifth Factor, OculusIP, DotK Production, Novaoffice and Ikon. “The cash contribution for the nappy supply is ongoing. Like most NGO’s they have many challenges and need to search for donors,” says Stoffels. “We have been involved in other community projects as well. We help raise funds and support Business Against Crime Western Cape, an organisation working towards a safe and secure South Africa where people and businesses live without the threat of crime and violence,” Stoffels says.
“With our intervention, our sister company DotK Productions has recently built BAC Western Cape a new website with an e-commerce donor platform to assist them in their fundraising efforts. “Nickay is a dynamic and experienced multimedia company, operating a fully digi-
tised service across the different sectors with added services in the photography, videography and the print sector. “We are a service provider to the Sun International Group and have been afforded the opportunity to be included in GrandWest ED Programme,” he says.
Caregivers and children from the Christine Revel Children’s Home were spoiled.
As part of this programme, small businesses have the support of a business coach. “Companies accessing this ED programme are compelled to ’pay it forward’, something which was already part of Nickay’s ethos. Entrepreneurship is what our country needs to grow the economy,” Stoffels says.

Thembela Printers lends a hand AVRIL FILLIES
T
he Easy Riders Motorcycle Club in Cape Town with branches all over the country is one of the beneficiaries of Thembela Printers in Bellville when they were sponsored with flyers and business cards to promote their 50th anniverasry. Thembela Printers is one of the 14 local businesses that is supported by the GrandWest Enterprise and Supply Development (E&SD) Programme.

A look inside Pollsmoor prison NETTALIE VILJOEN
W
ith a prison population of 7 079, Pollsmoor has many stories to tell. And while the ones on overcrowding and gang violence need to be told, they do tend to drown out those that speak of regret and atonement. “Most people think it is just bad people who are in prison. Good people also end up in jail. Sometimes it only takes one bad decision,” says Lewies Davids, the manager of communications at Pollsmoor prison. People’s Post joined him, with a group of social work students and social workers, during a walk-through of Pollsmoor medium C and the female centre on Tuesday 19 November. One of these stories belongs to Ruth (a pseudonym). At eight months pregnant, she finds herself in the care unit for expecting women and women over 60. The 29-year-old is serving a three-month sentence for possession of drugs and suspicion of smuggling. This being her first offence, she got a R3 000 fine or a three-month jail sentence. Ruth says she simply could not afford to
pay the fine. Besides the baby on the way, she also has three other children who depend on her. With the father out of the picture and the prospect of a fourth mouth to feed, Ruth says she felt like she had no choice but to agree when her sister, who she was visiting in prison, suggested she smuggle in drugs. Ironically, Ruth entered Pollsmoor as her sister left. Ruth says she now deeply regrets her decision and if she could go back in time she would definitely not have done it. Her release is set for Sunday 2 February. “When I get out I am going to take my children and return to my family home in Port Elizabeth. With the help of my mother, father and brother I hope to start over,” she says. If Ruth’s plan works out, she will be one of the lucky few. Davids says reintegration into society is one of the biggest challenges inmates face once they leave prison. He says many of the offenders have been abandoned by their families. “They have paid the price for their crime but often their families, their communities
A1 Smart Watch
don’t want them back. That is why our slogan is ‘Corrections is a societal responsibility’.” He encourages family members to visit their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters in jail. “That visit twice a month is sometimes the only thing they look forward to,” says Davids. After a tour of medium C and the female centre, it is easy to understand why. Of the thousands held at Pollsmoor, 4 500 are awaiting trial. Repeat offenders and suspects accused of aggressive crime are held while investigations are ongoing. Others remain in prison either because they can’t get bail (due to the violent nature of the crime) or because they can’t afford it. While the time awaiting trial is not supposed to exceed 24 months, it can stretch to six years or even longer depending on whether cases get postponed in the courts (for example, if a witness fails to appear). Because of its central location in Tokai, Pollsmoor prison serves as the main gate-
way for suspects entering the prison system in the Western Cape. It is fed by 26 courts and 56 police stations. All of these factors, combined with South Africa’s socio-economic ills, have led to Pollsmoor being labelled the most overcrowded prison in the province. Medium C, also called the release centre, houses male offenders who are either serving short sentences or are almost at the end of long terms. Here, 26 beds are squeezed into one cell roughly the size of a single garage, with one bathroom to share. Apparently, this is one of the less overcrowded units at Pollsmoor. At 15:00 sharp, inmates get shut into their cells. As the light starts to leave the room, so does the authority of the wardens. This is when the underground order of the Number Gangs (the 26’s, the 27’s and the 28’s) sets in – an old prison culture dating back to the early 1900s. The doors will only open again at 6:00.

Public comment on new plates now open T
he public have been asked to comment on the allocation of a new provincial licence mark to all registering authorities of the Western Cape. Bonginkosi Madikizela, MEC for transport and public works, published this notice in the provincial gazette on Friday 15 November. “This move is a pre-emptive one, driven by the rate at which the department calls for input into new provincial licence mark for motor vehicles and vehicle licence fee increase. The current ‘CAA’ and ‘CAW’ licence numbers are fast approaching the 100 000 mark, both events expected to happen within the next month,” says Jandré Bakker, spokesperson for the department. Other practical reasons for considering a provincial licence mark as opposed to adding more local marks to the existing ones are: . a municipality having multiple licence marks allocated to its registering authorities, e.g. the City with the CA, CAA, CEY, CF, CFM, CFR and CY licence marks. This situation sometimes leads to the manipulation of address information on NaTIS where a vehicle owner favours a particular licence mark of another area over his/her local licence mark. . more than one municipality shares the same licence mark, e.g. the municipalities of Theewaterskloof and Overstrand share the CAM licence mark. . the current municipal areas do not in all respects align with the areas of the then department of inland revenue through which licence marks were originally established and allocated. This situation leads to a vehicle being allocated with a licence number that contains a licence mark (as programmed on NaTIS) at a registering authority that is not part of the local municipality of the vehicle owner – a situation where revenue (through vehicle licence fees) is then not paid to the correct municipality. The department would like to advise the public, traffic law enforcement authorities, as well as certified number plate manufacturers that one of the five sizes of number plates that are legally allowed on vehicles registered before 1 January 2010 will not comply with the SABS standards (SANS code) if a 9-character licence number is used. Therefore, instead of the 440mm x 120mm size number plate, the 520mm x
113mm size must be used as this will enable been allocated since its introduction on 13 V More information is available at www.westernmotorists to still comply with the law. As at April 2019. Public comment must be lodged by cape.gov.za/tpw which can be accessed on Thursday 21 12 November 2019, 81964 CAA numbers have Friday 13 December. November.

Offence against education in Retreat It is with grave concern that I express the urgent need for the recent barbaric act of human rights violation perpetrated against our community by criminals who destroyed the Retreat Library to be addressed. Libraries are centres of learning and community development that act as safe spaces for our children who lack extracurricular activities at our schools, and who are continually threatened by gangsterism and violence, sometimes even within the home. Libraries also offer our elders the same kind of safety and development. Libraries are spaces invested with community-will, which, tragically, these
criminals destroyed, clearly in ignorance of the power of literacy and self-respect. But questions remain. Where were the police? This act of violence happened within eye-shot and walking distance from the library. Did an alarm not go off? What does the CCTV footage from the camera which was installed by the City of Cape Town, advocated by the Retreat Steenberg Civic Association, show? Should there not have been 24-hour security personnel stationed at the library, given the kinds of resources kept on the premises? How do we begin to assess the social impact of this terrorist act? MARY JANSEN, Retreat
Fight crime – help clear alien vegetation This week Moses Mandiba continued clearing alien vegetation, along with its disposal by Andy Mills and her On the Verge team. What has been quite disturbing to see was the significant amount of plastic sheeting and assorted sizes of plastic bottles, including 5F sizes found, which vagrants use in these areas for living and shelter. In light of the recent senseless murder of Mr Wesley Sweetnam, (Dascro Neighbourhood Watch), I want to remind readers of the importance of keeping their surroundings “safe”.
Keeping your gardens and verges clean and clear helps to reduce crime by opportunists who wish to cause our families harm. The benefits of clearing alien vegetation is twofold. Beyond the environmental aspect, it assists in keeping our community a safer place to live. Please, please can residents take another look at their surroundings and spend some extra time to make their contribution. GILLI CLAYDEN, Noordhoek
We need to improve our cybersecurity culture In the face of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR), we are simultaneously exposed to a new world filled with opportunities and risks. This disruptive, complex and exciting world is one where cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, ransomware, phishing and the internetof-things thrive. In the wake of these new technologies, the provincial minister of community safety, Albert Fritz, is calling on all institutions, including government and small business, to increase their vigilance regarding cybersecurity. On Thursday 24 October, the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) announced that it had detected a network breach resulting in unauthorised access to its ICT infrastructure. Consequently, CoJ had to shut down its website, e-services and billing system as a precautionary measure. The perpetrators, Shadow Kill Hackers, demanded a ransom of 4.0 Bitcoin (over R400 000). CoJ responded by upgrading their ICT infrastructure and did not concede to the hackers’ demands. Improving our cybersecurity culture is a crucial component in making the Western Cape safer overall. Many sophisticated criminal syndicates use the cyberspace to conduct criminal activities. It is, therefore, necessary to improve our awareness of cybersecurity and limit the opportunities for crime in society. But how often do such attacks take place in our day-to-day lives and what threat do they really pose to you and me? Kaspersky Lab explained that malware attacks in South Africa have increased by 22% in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the previous year. This equates to 13 842 attempted cyber-attacks a day. Cybercrime is no doubt growing and appropriate measures are needed to address the threat it poses to citizens, business people and government. According to Deloitte’s The Future of Cybercrime Survey 2019, the biggest impact of cyber incidents or breaches on organisations include 21% of loss of revenue; 21% loss of customer trust; 17% change in leadership; 16% reputational loss; 14% regulatory fines and 12% drop in share price. Currently, a proposed Cybercrimes and Cybersecurity Bill (B 6 – 2017) is being presented before the National Council of Provinces, before it can be assented by the president into law. It was “revived” by the new administration on Thursday 17 October. The aim of the bill is, among others, to create offences and impose penalties which have a bearing on cybercrime; regulate jurisdiction in respect of cybercrimes; regulate the powers to investigate cybercrimes and provide for the establishment of structures to promote cybersecurity and capacity building. While the introduction of this bill has been lauded, it is concerning that the rate at which government is instilling cybersecurity is considerably slower than that of the rapidly evolving field of cybercrime. To ward off cyberattacks, we need to adopt a better cybersecurity culture. Security Trails provides four keys tips in building that culture. Firstly, organisations must “start with the basics”. This includes having strong password policies within organisations, limiting access to data, systems and software to those who require them for work purposes, keeping a database of safe downloads, and terminating ex-employees access to sensitive information. Secondly, organisations must develop engaging and ongoing cyber security training for their employees. This should be followed up by, thirdly, using metrics to monitor post-training behaviours. Finally, organisations should make it as easy as possible for staff to report threats. To ensure that businesses both large and small continue to grow, and that government can continue to deliver its services; we need to improve our culture of cybersecurity. This means that we must broaden of our concept of safety to include the digital space. CAYLA MURRAY, Email
PENNED BY A JOURNO
Breaking silence For many years I have been an unwilling participant of the stigma placed against victims of sexual abuse. And for that, I am a hypocrite. While many may be quick to judge me for saying this, given my line of work, it may not be as you think. It took me many years to realise and admit that I am a victim of sexual assault. That may be a strange concept for some to understand, and maybe this is one of the underlying reasons people are quick to judge, pass blame and continue to perpetuate the stigmas attached to reporting and speaking out on sexual crimes. When I was at high school I found myself the recipient of wandering hands, forced and inappropriate kisses and invasion of personal space in the worst way possible. I was asleep and awoke to this. As you can imagine, a moment of shock paralyses you and it takes a bit of time to comprehend that this is or has just happened. I was always reasonably physically strong, and I pushed so hard that this man lost his footing. I remember very loudly saying “NO!” as I did it. I find it quite funny now that the response I was met with was: “Okay, is it like that?”. He was actually upset, as if I was the one doing something wrong for not accepting his advances. While I knew this was not supposed to be happening, a moment of confusion set in. I had momentarily allowed his words to influence me into feeling guilt... “Had I asked for this?” Society teaches women that it must have been their fault, that they had in some way invited the unwanted attention. While I admit, there has been strides in improving this, we would be ignorant if we attempted to convince ourselves that it has entirely been changed. I always wanted to be a journalist and so growing up I was very intune and up to date with news. I was not unfamiliar with the brutality of sexual crimes perpetrated against women. Then becoming a working journalist in an area synonymous with violence and needing to actually become involved in sexual crimes of such a brutal nature, I actually convinced myself that what happened to me was not that bad. I felt I had dealt with the situation in that moment. I was one of the lucky ones and that I dare not claim to be a victim of sexual assault when others had experienced so much worse. While I somewhat still agree with my then sentiment, I was naive. I realise now that I unknowingly suppressed and buried the experience as a coping mechanism – that I considered molestation and “pre-rape” sexual assault as not serious enough to constitute being classified as a victim. Maybe perpetrators think the same thing. I was most definitely influenced by a variety of factors, including the stigma victims still face. As someone who has actually experienced it, I understand why so many opt to remain quiet. No, that person is not weak for doing so and no, she did not ask for it. It doesn’t matter the clothing she is wearing, the way she conducts herself or the circumstances surrounding the incident. We should shift the judgement and blame to the person on the other end and spend less time focussing on making the victims feel as if they are the one’s at fault. And while we move into the 16 days of activism for no violence against women and children, I have but one thing to say. This has become a public relations campaign, rather than a vehicle for effecting actual change. Companies and government should be raising their voices everyday, but more importantly, the change needs to be made behind closed doors, where the crimes are actually taking place. And it is not until society changes its perception and reverses the stigma, that we will really begin to put an end to the undue violence. In a time where violent crimes are so widely reported, more needs to be done that encourages women to break the silence. But this would only happen if they felt they would be supported, rather than judged. – Samantha Lee-Jacobs

CAPE TOWN
Five decades of Festive Lights T
he City of Cape Town will celebrate five decades of its annual Festive Lights Switch-On, with a line-up to dazzle thousands of spectators. The event will take place on Sunday 1 December on the Grand Parade from 16:00. The theme this year is “Cape Town: Window to the World” to reflect the diversity of Cape Town. “The switching on of the festive lights is something all of Cape Town looks forward to as it signals the start of the festive season. “We look forward to a wonderful evening of music and welcoming the spirit of the season,” says Mayor Dan Plato. Easily the biggest event of its kind in Cape Town, the Festive Lights Switch-On appeals to locals and visitors alike. The en-
tertainment spans all genres and age groups. Aside from the live acts, the show-stopping moments are when the festive lights are switched on and the video mapping display is shown. There will be live performances by The Zip Zap Circus, Early B, The Unknown Dance Crew, Andries Vermeulen, YoungstaCPT, Gemini, Ndlovu Youth Choir and Sho Madjozi. Follow the hashtag #FLSO2019 on social media to stand a chance at winning prizes. The City has also launched the Waste to Art Challenge, which asks students 16 years and under to create art pieces (pictures, clothing, furniture, sculptures etc) from waste materials, to be showcased in a specially created gallery.
The Ndlovu Youth Choir will be one of the live performances at this year’s Festive Lights Switch-on.
SING ALONG WITH ALVON AND FRIENDS: Alvon Collison’s Happy Summer Show will be on at the Dutch Reformed Church hall in Milnerton on Sunday 8 December from 15:00 to 18:00.

Tight finishes aplenty at Turfhall softball stadium NOORE NACERODIEN The two female Super League games played at the Turfhall softball stadium on Sunday 24 November both produced tight finishes. In a game that produced 24 hits, Glenthorn A’s edged out Kenfac Phillies 8-7 in the early game. A’s started off with four runs in the first innings but Phillies’ Carla Swanepoel (2/4) was having none of that and cleared the boundary cones, scoring three runs in the process. Jenna Moses (3/4) fared best with the bat for Phillies with three scattered singles. Phillies came back strong in their last turn at bat but with bases loaded failed to produce when it mattered most. The game was marred by both sides not able to capitalise on having runners on base with Phillies (10) and A’s (8) runners left stranded on base. A’s took 15 hits off Ester van den Heever whilst Phillies scored nine hits off Lisa Erasmus who struck out three batters and gave up a six free bases.
Lefty, Courtney Stevens, was the pick of the A’s batting with a flawless 4/4, including a double. Former Old Mutual Cubs stalwart, Zulfah Stellenboom (3/3) and Chaunees Goliath (2/3) were the other top offensive performers for A’s. In the late game Westridge Yankees held on to inflict a first loss on Lavender Hill beating them 4-3. Other results: Major league: Westridge Yankees 7, Belhar Dolphins 5; Lavender Hill 18, Kuils River Cougars 2; Falcons 9, Table View Tornados 4 First league: Panthers 5, Glenthorn A’s 11; St Martins 10, Lavender Hill 2; Battswood 14, Blackheath 1; Crusaders 0, Khayelitsha Eagles 7 Second league: Kenfac Phillies 7, Titans 11; Table View Tornados 0, Devonshire Rovers 16; Falcons 10, Tantasport 3

A’s and Crusaders in stalemate SEAN CAMPBELL
A
fter 10 innings, Athlone A’s and Grassy Park Crusaders could not be separated in their Cape Town Baseball Major league fixture at Vangate Sports Complex on Saturday with the score at 11-all. Although A’s outhit Crusaders 14 hits to 12, Crusaders can’t be happy leaving 18 runners on base. A’s three pitchers gave up 15 walks. Both teams utilised three pitchers, with A’s surprisingly starting with Matthew Diedericks. Diedericks pitched four innings and only gave up two hits, but a staggering nine walks and struck out four hitters. Diedericks was bailed out by his defence who turned three double plays in his
pitching stint. He was replaced by former Crusaders pitcher Cameron Fortuin who came in for some heavy punishment conceding eight runs. He pitched three innings, giving up eight hits, walked four and struck out three. Dean Jacobs took over from Fortuin. For Crusaders Lucien Swartz pitched 3.2 innings before being replaced by former A’s lefty Niyaaz Galant. Grant Robertson took over in the eighth innings. A’s took a 4-1 lead innings, but Crusaders bounce back scoring 10 runs (1, 3, 4 and 2) in the next four innings with A’s replying with seven runs (0, 1, 3 and 3) of their own.

Primrose upstage Kraaifontein GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS In the Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA) first division A, Primrose continued their run of good form with an emphatic four-wicket win over front-runners Kraaifontein. The home side batted first and were dismissed for 177 with Darryl Losper top-scoring with 72 runs, with Maahir Eksteen the pick of the roses attack with figures of 4/27. At their turn to bat, an unbeaten 55 by Zain Allie piloted Primrose to victory. In the First Division B, Bonteheuwel scored a huge upset in beating log leaders Hottentots Holland by five wickets. Batting first, the side from the Strand could only muster a total of 85 runs. Bonteheuwel had no problem knocking off the required runs.
