WESTRIDGE GARDENS | GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
Prayer to end violence SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
I
n light of the recent spate of killings and gender-based violence, community leaders are calling on residents to help put an end to the scourge. Community worker Ursula Peters is calling on residents to join an inter-faith prayer service planned for this weekend. The Restoration Community Event will take place at 13:00 at the Westridge Gardens on Saturday 12 October. “This is not a church event. This is a community event,” says Peters. “Our focus is on the women and children who are brutally being raped and mur-
dered. Yes, we as a congregation can get together and talk and pray about it, but what if all our congregations (and communities) stand together as one.” Peters says several local religious institutions in the area have committed to attending the prayer service and that they will be extending the invitation to other affected communities, including Khayelitsha, Hanover Park, Manenberg and Elsies River. “The government has tried to do something. They sent in the army; they tried everything. Our only option now is to go on our knees and ask God to make a difference,” says Peters. The event is open to any group or religious leader who wants to lend their voice
to the cause. A motivational speaker and gospel groups will form part of the programme. Peters encourages everyone to bring their own chair and water. “I would like to call on everyone to make time and come on Saturday. It is not only about the horrific killings. As mothers, we have our own struggles and nothing seems to work. Come and try Jesus,” says Peters. Community worker Joanie Fredericks calls on everyone to join in. “We have tried everything over this past year. There have been so many marches, the total shutdown and, unfortunately, I don’t see a difference,” says Fredericks. “This is not about religion, this is a spiri-
tual journey. If all else fails, we need to turn to a higher being, whoever that is for us. When we have nowhere to go, we just need a moment of silence where we just reflect as a community together. Prayer is all we have left,” she says. She encourages all organisers of recent marches to rally the support of those who participated and to bring them to the event. Peters says this will be an ongoing event, which will travel to various areas. The next prayer service is scheduled to take place in Tafelsig on Saturday 26 October.

t took just less than a year for a robbery case to reach an ending worth celebrating, as a conviction prevailed. Two men have been found guilty and sentenced for robbing an Athlone business in October last year. Athlone police station’s corporate communications officer, Sgt Zita Norman shared the news with People’s Post on Wednesday 25 September. According to Norman, Mathamsanqa Madubela, 18, and Simphiwe Nxiba, 33, robbed the TAB horseracing building in
Road works to delay traffic Various roads are undergoing resurfacing and the City in collaboration with the transport directorate: roads and infrastructure and management are appealing to road users to be patient and apply caution when driving. This was announced by ward 44 councillor Anthony Moses on Thursday 26 September. Roads that will be affected are: . Ascension Road between Duinefontein Road and Heideveld Road; . Main Road between Fourth Avenue and Eendrag Road; . Eendrag Road between Fourth Avenue and Zenith Road; . Leader Street between Myn Road and Eendrag Road; . Spar Street between Eendrag and Heideveld roads; . Fifth Avenue between Heideveld Road and Klipfontein Road. The road works started on Monday 30 September and will continue until Friday 25 October. This should go according to plan unless the weather does not permit or if unforeseen project delays emerge. Work will take place from Mondays to Fridays between 09:00 to 15:00 and it will be done one lane at a time. Local business owners should not worry as they will be granted access to their properties. In case there are alternative routes available, commuters are urged to make use of such.
Aden Avenue. The police were quick to respond and retrieved R300 000 from the suspects. She said the investigation and the case took less than a year to be wrapped up. For her, that highlights how hardworking the police are and how efficient the justice system is. At the forefront of the successful arrest was investigating officer, Sgt Daniel Solomons. Solomons opposed bail and the case was transferred to the regional court where the two accused agreed to a plea bargain on Wednesday 11 September. They were sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment of which five years are suspended
and they were declared unfit to possess a firearm. Norman commended Solomons and further appealed to the community to continue reporting criminal activities to the police. “Residents are the eyes and ears of the police. Had they not reported it, we would not have known about the men,” she explained. She thanked the community for working with the police in curbing crime and stressed that community involvement is very important. She said crime effects each and every one out there and that working together could make a difference.
City proposes changes to traffic bylaw The proposed impoundment of private vehicles set out in the City’s amended traffic bylaw, if approved, will give authorised officials the right, without prior written notice, to impound the vehicles of unlicensed drivers, drunk drivers and street racers as well as unregistered, unlicensed and damaged vehicles. Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith said this really shouldn’t come as a surprise. “We have been saying for years that there is very little to compel behavioural change. As things stand, a motorist arrested for drunk-driving gets right back in the driver’s seat the next day and many of them re-offend because there appear to be very few consequences,” said Smith. The bylaw, first introduced in 2011, has been amended to include five new chapters dealing with powers and duties of authorised officials, equipment on or in respect of vehicles, animals, driving while under the influence and impoundment of vehicles and forfeiture to the City. It opened for public participation on Tuesday 1 October. The chairperson of the City’s safety and security portfolio committee, councillor Mzwakhe Nqavashe said: “Currently, the City’s traffic officers are allowed to impound public transport vehicles where the driver does not have an operating license or is operating in contravention of their license. The draft amendments make provision for the impoundment of private vehicles under certain circumstances.” In terms of the draft document, authorised officials may, in the interest and the safety of the public, without prior written notice, impound vehicles where the: . vehicle was involved in reckless or negligent driving or illegal street racing; . vehicle is unlicensed or the licence disc has been expired for more than 90 days; . vehicle is unregistered; . vehicle is not fitted with licence plates;
. vehicle is damaged or is in a state of disrepair and is, in the opinion of the authorised official, not roadworthy; . vehicle is a taxi which is being operated in contravention of the conditions of approval its operating licence or off the approved route; . vehicle has been left abandoned as specified in section 61; . driver of the vehicle is unlicensed, or the driver does not have his or her driver’s licence available for inspection; . driver of the vehicle is under the influence of intoxicating liquor or a drug having a narcotic effect; . driver did not stop when signalled to do so by an authorised official resulting in the driver being pursued and forced to stop. Nqavashe said statistics showed, year-onyear, that there was no change in behaviour relating to transgressions like illegal street racing and driving under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicating substances. “The portfolio committee devised the amendments, in consultation with various other parties, in a bid to force road users who insist on breaking the rules of the road with reckless abandon to change their behaviour, and make our roads safer for all,” he said. Also, the chapter dealing with public transport operators now includes a section that speaks specifically to the e-hailing sector. It requires drivers of e-hailing vehicles operating within the City’s jurisdiction to clearly display a tag identifying the vehicle as such, along with a valid operating license. The public participation process runs until Thursday 31 October. Submissions can be made online at www.capetown.gov.za or view the draft bylaw at your local library or subcouncil office. Written submissions can be delivered to the nearest subcouncil office. V The amended draft bylaw document is available at http://bit.co/trafficbylaw.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
UCT ‘studentpreneurs’ top in SA T
he University of Cape Town (UCT) has been named the winning university in the 2019 Entrepreneurship Intervarsity competition. This is largely because of three innovative students whose out-of-the-box business ideas bowled the judges over at the competition finals held on Wednesday 18 September. Mvelo Hlope and Denislav Marinov emerged top of their respective categories while Tamir Shklaz received a runner-up award in his category. The judges also named Hlope as the overall winner of the competition. UCT vice-chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng, who attended the event, congratulated the students on a “great job” and on making the campus community proud. A total of 26 universities and 1 155 “studentpreneurs” from across the country participated in the regional rounds of the competition ahead of the final round which took place in Johannesburg. Finalists were given just three minutes to pitch their business idea to a panel of judges. The competition aims to identify the top student entrepreneurs at each of South Africa’s public universities, to recognise and showcase their businesses, and to attract investment into their enterprises. It also provides a chance for aspiring entrepreneurs whose businesses are still in the ideas stage to pitch their concept. Marinov topped the existing business: tech category with his business, DMV Designs, which proposes using an integrated,

Hlope’s initiative, Zaio, topped the existing business: social impact category. Zaio is a gamified platform that offers open-access learning journeys to students who wish to become upper-end software developers. Shklaz received the runner-up prize in the existing business: tech category, for his digi-
tal one-stop-shop, Quillo, that allows students to buy and sell old textbooks online at an affordable price. Nadia Waggie, head of operations for UCT’s Careers Service and the university’s Entrepreneurship Intervarsity liaison officer, said the runner-up award was decided on the night of the finals “because the judges simply could not ignore how brilliant
Shklaz’s pitch was”. “Careers Service is proud to be able to assist the studentrepreneurs on their entrepreneurial journey. We look forward to continuing this journey with our students,” she said. The intervarsity is an initiative of the Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE) programme in the department of higher education and training and universities South Africa and is supported by the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation, University Capacity Development Programme and SAB Foundation. The Western Cape regional rounds were hosted by UCT Careers Service. Linda Dhladhla, youth and communication liaison for EDHE, described Marinov and Hlope as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs in the UCT community, and South Africa as a whole. “They’ve put hours of hard work into preparing for this competition and an equal amount of hard work into establishing their business. We are very proud of them for making it this far,” he said. Their category prize is R10 000 each, and the funds will be pumped back into their businesses. Because Hlope also won the overall title, he received an additional R50 000. “We’re hoping that this win will provide them with the stepping stone they need to grow and develop their businesses. And most important, we really want them to continue inspiring other students to pursue entrepreneurship,” said Dhladhla.

Construction worker bags R1 million on-air NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
K
fm 94.5 in Green Point turned a construction worker into a millionaire when it announced its winner of the “Big September with LottoStar” at their studio on Tuesday 1 October. The announcement was made during the live broadcast of the show Kfm Mornings with Darren, Sherlin and Sibs. The final two finalists were invited to the studio on Tuesday where Lorenzo Michaels (29) from Mossel Bay was named the winner of the million. He had casually played an online roulette game after hearing about the competition on the radio. Little did he know it would be his ticket out of poverty. By Tuesday afternoon Michaels was still expressing his disbelief, saying he’s had a tough life. He grew up in an underprivileged com-
munity in Great Brak River outside Mossel Bay and left school in Grade 11 to find a job to help sustain his family. He never got a chance to finish school and is currently surviving on an income of R9 200 per month that has to sustain his unemployed mother, six-year-old son and himself. When he realised he had won, Lorenzo said he saw his dream of wanting to build a house for his family becoming a reality. The next step would be to marry his girlfriend, Marlene Boezak. “I saw my life turning around for the better. It has been tough – we were struggling at home. I am so lucky, I did not expect it at all; I just played like I usually do with any other game,” says Lorenzo. He thanked the station for changing his life. Stephen Werner, Kfm’s station manager, says “Big September with LottoStar” has become a landmark month in the province
and has captured the hearts and minds of their listeners. He says the competition ran every day throughout September, with entrants standing a chance to win up to R250 000 four times a day. At the end of the campaign they gave away R1 million. “The total winnings during Big September, together with the money raised for charity, amounted to over R2.4 million – the biggest cash giveaway in the history of Cape Town radio. “We are all about creating life-changing moments for our listeners,” Werner says. According to a statement, it’s the third year “Big September” was hosted. They raise funds for #WEARENOTNEXT, an initiative by LottoStar that aims to curb femicide in South Africa. It supports various organisations to address gender-based violence. This year the station raised R625 500 for the initiative.

To many, Danny Brown is known TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS as the father of Elsies River. Come rain or shine, he makes it his daily mission to uplift the community whether it be by helping the elderly or by doing motivational talks at schools in the area. The 76-year-old is one of three finalists in the 70 to 80 years category of this year’s Community Champions Elders Awards. The awards are presented by TygerBurger, People’s Post and City Vision in partnership with Spec-Savers. Because so many people live in darkness, Brown says he is determined to be the “light” in people’s lives. “I’m passionate about giving back to my community because this is where I grew up and also raised my children. Every Monday and Wednesday, we provide the elderly with coffee and meals at the Elsies River multi-purpose centre. To make it fun, we also have sports days and social dances for the elderly,” says Brown, who is also passionate about athletics. “Some of our people live in darkness in their homes, and in this safe space, I aim to be the light in their life.” (gangs), and encourage them that there is He arranges for sandwiches to be distrib- more to life.

This is something I don’t only do for my health, but my mind and spirit too.” Through his journey in athletics, Brown learned that a big lack in the community is sporting facilities. “In 1963 (at the age of 20), we started the athletics club to encourage youngsters to focus on their mental and physical health. There are about 50 athletes in the club and they participate in road running, marathons and cross country.” He explains why it’s important for him to give back: “When I see people, I want to give them hope. “I’m always an ear and always available for anyone who needs to talk, or someone who just wants to be uplifted. We always need to show each other love.” Francis Olivier (81) says Brown has been “an angel” to her for the past five years: “He’s always helping me get around and is such a lovely and friendly man.” Goodwood resident, Roseline Marinus, says she’s known Brown for the past 50 years: “He has always been a man for the community, doing good and giving back. He plays the role of father-figure to many of the youth in Elsies River, even those who want to become gangsters. We are blessed to have a man like him set an nature.” V The winners of the awards will be announced at a morning tea on 12 October in Cape Town.

WELLNESS
Critical need for teacher wellbeing A
s the final school term kicked off, the Wellbeing in Schools and Education (Wise) initiative highlighted teacher wellbeing and the high levels of stress during this end-of-year examination time. International stress tests have revealed significantly high levels of stress among South African teachers, with many reporting burn-out, especially in schools in disadvantaged communities. “There’s a desperate need for morale upliftment and motivation in these schools, not only at this time of year but all year round. Over and above the jam-packed curriculum, a big challenge for these teachers is keeping spirits up when faced with the harsh realities of community problems,” says Carol Surya, psychologist and Wise co-founder. Wise, a non-profit organisation (NPO), has been active in schools across the Cape Flats since 2017, offering mindfulness tools to school children to include yoga, dance and self-esteem games.
Since working in these schools, the organisation has increasingly noticed the high levels of stress of teachers and the impact this can have in the classroom. “We continue to see a need for teacher wellbeing. People don’t realise how overwhelmed they are and how this can play out negatively in the classroom with aggressive outbursts. Sadly, many of the children they teach come from extremely vulnerable backgrounds, and don’t even have parents. Teachers are having to play the role of both educator and caregiver which takes a massive toll,” says Surya. Teachers of Christian Davids Moravian Primary School in Coniston Park recently participated in a Wise teacher wellbeing workshop and reported feeling calmer and more positive afterwards. The school’s principal, Tina Steyn, approached the NPO when she realised how demoralised the teachers are. “The fourth term is a very strenuous time for both
learner and educator. It’s hard for a teacher to keep positive when they work in these kinds of harsh situations day in and out. Our learners are very poor and come from broken homes with gang violence being a major concern. I believe a happy teacher equals a happy school,” she said. The programme is designed around positive psychology-based techniques that teach self-care and mindfulness. The tools used include mindful breathing, yoga, and Biodanza dance. Steyn reported after the workshop that the staff realised the value of self-care and had a refreshed understanding of how their actions and attitude has a direct influence on the learner’s behaviour in the classroom. Wise is currently working on expanding its teacher training workshops so they can reach more educators across South Africa. Surya shares her tips to help both learners and educators stay calm during the stressful exam period:
. Breathing – Slow, deep breathing instantly reduces stress symptoms, by bringing more oxygen into the body. . Chill time – Make sure to set aside even five to 10 minute breaks during studying, teaching and marking to rest and replenish. In this chill time do not check your phone or think about the next task. . Drink water – Make sure to keep hydrated by drinking water; usually eight glasses per day is recommended. . Get moving – Even a few minutes of stretches, a vigorous walk or dancing to your favourite song can make a big difference to relieve your stress. . Get positive – Make a point of thinking and repeating positive statements to yourself about your stressful situation. . Plan ahead – When you stick to a schedule for studying or getting through the workload, your mindset is automatically more at ease and better equipped to manage the stress you are facing.

Minister supports name change of Zonnebloem
1 Listener can nW WIN it all!!
The Western Cape minister of cultural affairs and sport, Anroux Marais submitted an application to the national minister of arts and culture, Nathi Mthethwa, validating her support for the proposed name change of Zonnebloem to District Six on Sunday 29 September. Marais is supporting an initiative started by the District Six Museum a year ago when it raised awareness of the proposed name change through door-to-door campaigns and using local media. The museum then applied to the Western Cape Provincial Geographical Names Committee (WCPGNC) after which the museum had to present its application to the committee in February this year. WCPGNC resolved to support the application at a meeting held in June and then passed it on to Marais. “It is hoped the name change will clearly communicate to the community and residents of District Six that you have been seen, you have been heard and that you do belong,” she said.

MITCHELL’S PLAIN
Kung Fu master releases book SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
M
J Li, a Kung Fu master and martial arts world champion born in Mitchell’s Plain has decided to use his experiences from travelling the world, to inspire and motivate Capetonians, especially the youth. He recently launched his book titled
Mayco member, JP Smith and Mj Li with a copy book titled, KUNGFU, My Journey, The History.
KUNGFU, My Journey, The History. MJ (Muhammad Junaid Chafeker) says people should not be confused with the title and assume that the book is all about karate. There is more to the book than just his passion, he says. MJ has been a Kung Fu champion since 2004. Part of his collection of accolades includes four gold medals. He won Legends of Kung Fu World Martial Arts Championships in the United States in 2006 where he represented South Africa. He grew up admiring Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee and has travelled and trained in places such as Beijing. In his book, he says, he is sharing his experience which he documented for more than two years while travelling. He says: “I hope Capetonians will find three benefits from this book; the first one being the story about my humble beginnings.” He hopes young boys and girls from the Cape Flats will be inspired by the fact that even though he grew up there, he still became an international star. The second benefit he hopes people will take from his book is his account of the history of Islam in China as he reveals he did intensive research about it. He also uses the book as a dedication to his mother, Falma Chafeker, who passed away this year. “My mother was a white woman who married an Indian man and became actively involved in fightof his ing apartheid. She was arrested
many times,” he shares. He expresses pride when he speaks about his mother and says she was a woman who ignored her racial privilege and decided to fight for those who could not fight for themselves during some of the toughest years in South Africa. He refers to her as an unsung hero. He held a soft launch for the book and plans to do the same in other areas, combining them with motivational sessions. The sessions will include talking to men to refrain from illtreating women. “I want to encourage men out there to respect our mothers, sisters, aunts
and wives,” he urges. His other message is to young men to join karate; a sport he describes as one that they can use to discipline themselves and end up staying away from drugs. The book is not yet available in stores, people can get it on request. It costs R150 per copy and anyone from anywhere can order it. According to MJ Li, once all the distribution deals have been finalised, it will be available at all major book stores. V For more information, call MJ Li’s office on 081 711 1211.

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE
Paint your nails to show support NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
O
ne million men country-wide need to paint their pinky nails and show their support against gender-based violence. Christopher Thorpe, founder of the Pinky Promise Movement, launched the campaign under the theme “Are You Man Enough?” at the Hope Distillery in Salt River on Wednesday 2 October. Like many South Africans, he was deeply touched by the recent brutal attacks against women and children.
“I was just about to land in Cape Town three weeks ago when I became overwhelmed by the thought of what is going on in our country. From that moment I knew I needed to make this happen. I hope we reach the target by Monday 16 December,” Christopher says. He says it is only through creating “something disruptive” that they will show they care about women. Pinky Promise aims to initiate an unbreakable commitment in support of multiple social issues. He is hoping to get sponsors and influential stakeholders on board to help spread the word. Explaining the theme, Christopher says it

was to provoke the inner conscience of each man, encouraging them to do introspection to identify whether they truly stand for what a “man” is, or if being a man is just about gender. With this campaign, he challenges those that confidently identify themselves as a real “man” to wear black nail polish on their pinky finger and share their photos using the hashtags #pinkypromise #areyoumanenough on social media. Another objective of the campaign is to raise funds for charity organisations working with vulnerable women and children. The launch received a warm welcome. Guests had their pinky nails painted at the venue, and some bought promotional drinks of which the proceeds would be donated towards the campaign. Paul Paarman was among the first men who painted his nails on the day. He hopes many men will heed the call and have their fingernails painted to show their solidarity against gender-based violence. V Visit www.thepinkypromiseorg for information.

ARD host successful 3-Vlei race A
RD athletic club held its nineth annual 3-vlei road race through the streets of Grassy Park on Sunday 6 October. The race has a unique characteristic as it takes the participants in the 10km distance past the iconic Princess Vlei, Rondevlei and Zeekoevlei. This year saw over 2 200 people participating in the main race with a remarkable increase in the 5km fun run of 1 400 pairs of feet enjoying the well-organised event.
Nkosiyethu Sotyanja of Multi-sport MSA (30:44) and the ever impressive Pamela Moyikwa of RC Langa (37:24) took the no.1 podium positions in the men’s and women’s races respectively. The much talked about sub-60-minute shield on offer for finishers of the 10km by the race organiser was once again the highlight of the event for the club runners, with many recording their personal bests on the flat route.

Young athletes blaze trail The Green Point Athletics Stadium was a hive of activity on Saturday 5 October, with schools from the Eastern and Western Cape pulling out all the stops while competing for the coveted title of South Africa’s best athletics school at the second leg of the Twizza Super School Series regional qualifiers. The series has one clear goal in mind – to crown SA’s best athletics school. “The Twizza Super School Series delivered fine competition in track and field today,” says Athletics South Africa president, Aleck Skhosana. “We are laying a foundation for future stars in youth, junior and ultimately the seniors. The great spirit of athletics between winners and those who didn’t win the titles of the day was truly inspirational. Schools competed against each other, made friends and produced outstanding talent. “We are now looking forward to seeing what the Grand Finale holds in store in February 2020.” Paarl Boys’ High School was dominant at the event, with Boland Agricultural High School finishing second, while Parel Vallei came in third. Wynberg Boys’ High School was the best placed team from the southern
suburbs, finishing ninth in the division, with South Peninsula and Portland High Schools finishing in 14th and 15th places respectively. La Rochelle Girls High School took the lead in the girls competition. Paarl Girls high School came in second, while Bloemhof Girls High School finished third. South Peninsula High School finished 11th in this category. The mixed competition was won by Parel Vallei, with Bellville finishing second and HTS Drosdy third, with South Peninsula’s mixed team finishing ninth. “The schools from the Eastern and Western Cape really impressed us,” says Lance Coertzen, Twizza group marketing manager. “Witnessing the camaraderie between athletes and schools truly was heartwarming. We commend each and every athlete for their efforts and hope that you will be rewarded with a spot at the Twizza Super School Series Grand Finale that will take place at the Bestmed Tuks Athletics Stadium on Saturday 1 February 2020. The overall top 40 boys and girls teams will advance to the Twizza Super School Series Grand Finale next year.

Bok women go down fighting S
pringbok women’s coach Stanley Raubenheimer praised his team’s character despite suffering a 38-15 defeat in their series decider against Scotland at the City Park Stadium in Cape Town on Saturday 5 October, where they were outscored six tries to two. Scotland made better use of their chances in the first half and crossed the try line three times, while the Springbok women were only able to score a penalty goal, which saw them enter the break 19-3 down. The second half was competitive as Scotland added three tries – the last of which was on the stroke of fulltime – while the Springbok women touched down twice. “The result is obviously disappointing, but I am satisfied with the performance and the character the team showed,” said Raubenheimer. “We competed well, our defence was a little better than Monday, although a few errors there once again cost us, and some of the young players came through nicely. “We did, however, give away 21 points, which we are not happy about. That said, I was particularly impressed with the way the team fought and got better as the match progressed, so it was a good step-up from our last match. We learned some good lessons as a team in the last three tests, and that will bode well for us in the future.” Commenting on the young talent coming through the ranks, Raubenheimer said: “Our main goal with the test matches we played this year was to try to build a group of players that we could work with going forward to the 2021 Rugby World Cup. “Six players who played against Scotland today were u.20 players, and some of them did well, while others now have a good idea of the demands of test rugby, which is all part of the learning process.” Scotland’s Jade Konkel scored the first points of the match in the 10th minute after some good forward play close to the line, and Sarah Law (flyhalf) kicked the conversion to hand them a 7-0 lead. The Springbok women hit back with some good phases on attack and they managed to work their way close to the try line minutes later, but a knock-on denied them from capitalising on the opportunity. Scotland, in turn, crossed the try line for the second time early in the second quarter thanks to Lisa Thomson (centre), and Konkel followed this up with her second try from more determined play close to the try line to stretch their lead to 19-0. They fought until the halftime hooter, and worked their way close to the try line once
again, but they settled for a penalty goal, which saw them enter the break 19-3 down. The visitors came out firing in the second half with Abi Evans navigating her way through a gap in the defence in the opening exchanges, but the Springbok women cancelled this out in the 49th minute as Aphiwe Ngwevu (replacement centre) scored their first try of the match from a pick-and-go. The successful conversion by Tayla Kinsey (replacement scrumhalf) took their score to 10 points.
Scotland winger Rhona Lloyd, however, increased their lead on the scoreboard minutes later, using her raw pace to dash through the defence for the team’s fifth try, but again the Springbok women hit back with hard-running replacement, Aseza Hele, powering her way through the defence after some good forward play. The hosts continued to fight to add to their score in the dying minutes and camped close to the try line for several minutes, but they were unable to add to their score, while Scot-
land made the most of their last try-scoring opportunity with Lloyd crossing the chalk for her second try on the stroke of fulltime after dashing around on the outside for a 3815 victory. Scorers: Springbok women 15 (3) – tries: Aphiwe Ngwevu, Aseza Hele; conversions: Tayla Kinsey; penalty: Shuneez van Heerden. Scotland 38 (19) – tries: Jade Konkel (2), Lisa Thomson, Abi Evans, Rhona Lloyd (2); conversions: Sarah Law (3), Helen Nelson.
Springbok vice-captain and WP women captain, Babalwa Latsha, led from the front during their test match against Scotland on Saturday 5 October. She became a handful for Louis McMillan (left) and Lana Skeldon as she made her way to the try line. The Springbok put in a better second half performance, but Scotland took their opportunities from defensive errors in the second test to win 38-15 at City Park in Athlone. PHOTO: RASHIED ISAACS
