CAPE TOWN
Community reclaims park NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
T
he newly established Friends of the Company’s Garden in the Cape Town central business district (CBD) is hoping to revive and restore the renowned park to its former glory. The park, which is a national heritage site, was established in the 1650s by the first European settlers to grow fresh produce for ships passing through. It later became one of Cape Town’s major attractions, boasting an array of plants and trees. It also has a fish pond and an aviary, making it a popular destination among locals and tourists. However, sporadic crime incidents have discouraged people from visiting the park. The new community group hopes to help attract visitors to the park again. It will be working with the park’s steering committee, which has been largely responsible for the park’s upkeep. Group founder and secretary Alan Cameron says after some encouragement by the steering committee, the Cape Town Heritage Trust organised a group of about 30 area stakeholders to meet earlier this year. “It was agreed that crowd-sourcing and constructive involvement in the park was a good idea, and it was decided to start the Friends of the Company’s Garden,” explains Cameron. The group consists of nine members: Cameron, Dylan Tommy (chair), Glyn Fogell (treasurer), Laura Robinson, Gaby Palmer, Theodore Cox, Andrea Couvert, Ivan Flint, Gavin Morris and Belinda Veermeer. Cameron says the group is looking forward to contributing to the on-going work to make the park a safer, friendlier and more vibrant space. He says the aim is for the Company’s Garden to be the place everyone goes to and for it to be regarded as an “accessible backyard” for all Capetonians. “Frequent the garden, walk around and enjoy it for the wonderful green space it is,” he says. Cameron says the public can become a member. It costs R100 per person or R200 for organisations. He says money raised will be used to fund various projects. Dave Bryant, the councillor for ward 115,

welcomes the establishment of the group. He says it will work closely with the park’s steering committee and the City of Cape Town to preserve and make the park a better space. Bryant says he recently considered
building relations with the vendors around the park and proposes an establishment of a formal trading structure to support local entrepreneurship. He says it is through partnerships that the
YUKU
park will be sustained and its legacy restored. He says this is one of the historic public spaces in the heart of the CBD. V For more information about membership, visit the Facebook page Friends of the Company’s Garden..

CAPE TOWN
Embracing trees at the festival NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
P
eople from around the province had an opportunity to learn and connect with the environment during the annual Cape Town Cape Bonsai Festival. The two-day festival, on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October, was organised by the Cape Regional Association of Bonsai (Crab) in partnership with the City of Cape Town’s recreation and parks department. Crab is made up of five bonsai clubs which are Boland Bonsai Kai, Tygerberg Bonsai Club, Blaauwberg Bonsai Kai, Oyama Bonsai Kai and Cape Bonsai Kai. Dubbed ‘Bonsai for all’, the festival featured displays for different trees, planting demonstrations, an interactive bonsai space and a play garden for the children, where they were encouraged to spot the squirrels. Winners were rewarded with a tree to take home as an encouragement to engage with nature. Trees on display were mostly indigenous trees ranging from 20 to over 60 centimetres tall. The event aims to raise awareness about the importance of trees and educating the
public on how to grow bonsai trees. Chairperson for the Tygerberg Bonsai Club Debbie Oelofse said they work with the City to get communities involved and to create nice spaces to live in. “It is not nice to live in a little box,” she said. She said children require a lot of space with trees in order for them to play and grow. “The message we are trying to put out there is that we must look out for our environment, and the environment will also look after us. Trees give us oxygen,” she says. Kensington resident Merwaan Mullins praised the festival for creating a good space for an outing and a platform to teach children about the environment. Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health, said the exhibition is a testament that residents and visitors care about trees and green, open spaces. “Bonsai is an ideal way for the community to continue planting trees, as there is no limitation caused by a change in the climate. Some bonsai enthusiasts even brought along their trees, to get expert advice on styling and cultivation,” he said.
City will not tolerate unlawful behaviour The City of Cape Town is determined to root out irregular behaviour by the taxi drivers in the Cape Town central business district. JP Smith, the Mayco member safety and security, describes the behaviour of the taxi drivers as intolerable. He was responding to claims of bullying and intimidation by the drivers against law enforcement officers when they issued warrants to the drivers on Tuesday 15 October. It is alleged a feud ensued between the officers and the drivers, and an off-duty police officer was robbed of a firearm. “Be that as it may, the actions of the group cannot be condoned,” he says. He warns drivers to abide by the law and be prepared to be held accountable when they fail to do so. “It is our understanding that taxi drivers were upset about a warrant operation
that was taking place, where officers issued Section 72 notices for offenders to appear in court,” Smith says. He says the City enforces the National Road Traffic Act, which is a legislation applicable to all road users country-wide, and that the City does not determine fine amounts. “These are set by the Western Cape government,” he said Smith added that the law applies equally to everyone. He says the actions by the drivers seem to be part of a new trend of violent reaction to the rule of law and would not be tolerated. Sgt Noloyiso Rwexana, the provincial police spokesperson, confirmed that a police officer was robbed of a firearm and a case of robbery had been opened and the circumstances surrounding this matter were being investigated. She said no arrests were made yet.

s a kid, Angelo Antonio De Vos was told he would never succeed in life, but today he is bracing himself for one of the biggest catwalk stages in the world. The Trafalgar High School learner is now ready to compete at the International Modelling and Talent Association convention (IMTA), taking place next year July in New York The convention will see aspiring artists from across the globe competing in the different genres including modelling, acting, singing, songwriting and dancing. However, his dream hangs in the balance. He needs to raise a staggering R100 000 for travelling, catering and accommodation expenses. In an interview with People’s Post, Angelo said despite growing up in a gang-ridden community he always had a dream of being in the entertainment industry. At the age of 12, he took
part in church competitions, but he did not succeed. It was only when he enrolled at Trafalgar High School, in District Six, in 2017, that his potential began to blossom. This was, after he met Thelren Masimila, a mentor and a teacher at the school. With the assistance of other teachers, the school exposed him to a range of competitive platforms. “I have grown confident and I am determined to work towards my passion,” said Angelo, adding that he was inspired by everyone who doubted his potential. The Grade 10 learner said the opportunity to enter the contest came after he excelled at the Applause Rising Talent Showcase auditions held at Hyde Hotel in Sea Point earlier this year. He was then invited to attend the National Arts Showcase at Silver Star Casino in Krugersdorp on Saturday 28 September where he impressed local and international guests, paving his way to the IMTA. Thelren says: “We as the staff of Tra-
falgar believe in Angelo. “He has the potential to do great things and be successful in any project he puts his mind to.” The 16-year-old is looking forward to gaining the experience needed to work as an actor and a model, and be able to provide an income to his family. He also plans to “educate the next aspiring actors and models in my community”. However, Angelo admits that the industry “itself is very overwhelming, tough, tiring, fastpaced and extremely competitive”. He has already started preparing for the competition, with regular rehearsals with his church-based drama club, and will attend a bootcamp and formal training at the New York Film Academy to be run by the IMTA in Sandton in Johannesburg. He said in the beginning, he was inspired by legends including the late Paul Walker. V To find out more about how to help Angelo, contact 011 039 2481 or 084 759 0677 or send and email to director@33andme.co.za.

Children’s rights activists, advocates and teachers are among those who have been nominated to be the Western Cape’s first commissioner for children. The Western Cape parliament has called on the public to submit any objections to the nominees by Wednesday 23 October. A total of 59 nominations have been received. Among them are women’s and children’s rights activist Lucinda Evans, who is also the founder of the non-government organisation (NGO) Philisa Abafazi Bethu based in Lavender Hill. Other nominees include Sans Souci Girls’ High School principal Ruschda O’ Shea, who is also the former head of Tafelsig High in Mitchell’s Plain and Ikamvalethu Finishing School in Langa; and the National Prosecuting Authority’s (NPA) advocate Lizelle Africa, the acting deputy director of the NPA’s Sexual Offences and Community Affairs Unit. Chairperson of the social development standing committee Gillion Bosman said once all the objections had been received, a shortlist would be compiled. This would be followed by a cost-effective vetting process. The Western Cape has established the role to ensure that the rights, needs and interests of children are upheld in terms of safety, while
also helping to inform how the province meets their needs through services such as health, education, social development, and sports and recreation. Gazetted in March, the process of finding a suitable candidate has been driven independently by the provincial legislature.

Funding for minstrel events approved The City of Cape Town has approved the disbursement of the R4.572 million cash funding to support the upcoming minstrel events. Additional support of R1.3 million for City services and the waiver of costs for City-owned venues will form part of the package of support for the associations. The contribution to minstrel events for the City’s 2019/20 financial year will come to a total of R5.872 million. The funding will support six associations to host events, including Tweede Nuwe Jaar, other minstrel competitions and the Malay choir competitions. After deliberations at the Special Events Committee (SpevCo) meeting, the City proposed financial support as follows:
. Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association Street Parade – R3.2 million; . Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association Competitions – R422 000; . Cape Malay Choir Board Road March – R1.1 million; .

Tackling traffic obstructions NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

he Sea Point Community Improvement District (CID) would like to tackle the obstruction of traffic as a result of reckless and negligent driving by the taxi drivers within their precinct. According to Heather Tager, the CID’s chief operations officer, the taxis form part of an important transport plan within the area. This is because a large portion of commuters entering and exiting the area use taxis and there is a need to ensure that the
taxi service runs correctly, she says. She says for this to happen there has to be engagements. Tager says the concerns follow complaints by residents and road users about the reckless manner in which taxis operate in the area. “The illegal u-turns, the obstructing of traffic with sudden stops anywhere for a commuter to get on board the taxi, as well as endless hooting ‘touting’ for business,” she says Tager wishes the City could intervene and introduce a policy to regulate how taxis operate, especially
where stops and drop offs are concerned. “The taxis could be heavily fined for not using that dedicated pick up points,” Tager suggests. Meanwhile, she says commuters too, need to be considerate in the way they board and exit the taxis. “They often exit in the middle of the road which puts them in danger,” Tager adds. She says the Central Unity Taxi Association patrollers recently took an initiative to address the issue by educating passengers and drivers, and the CID commended the effort.

Winde nods head to oncology unit W
estern Cape Premier Alan Winde paid a visit to the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital on Monday 14 October, where he was given a tour of the oncology unit, and had the opportunity to meet with some of the children receiving medical care there, and their parents. He also handed over book donations received in the Western Cape Government book drive, to be used in the libraries of the hospital. “The Red Cross Children’s Hospital does amazing work, not just for the children of the Western Cape, but for children from across Africa. I met with them today not only to see the work that they do, but to see how we as the government can become more involved in assisting them to continue giving the world-class care that they do,” Winde said. During the visit, he was briefed on childhood cancers, and the treatment thereof, by the head of oncology and haematology at the hospital, Prof Alan Davidson. Childhood cancers are rarer than adult ones, and tend to consist mainly of brain tumours, acute leukemia and tumours in deepseated organs such as the liver, kidney and
adrenal glands. These kinds of tumours are usually fast-growing, which also makes them more susceptible to chemotherapy. The hospital estimates that about 150 children under the age of 15 are diagnosed with cancer in the province each year, with about 100 of these in the Cape Town metro. In higher-income countries, about 70% to 80% of children with cancer survive. Because of the treatment offered by both the Red Cross Children’s Hospital and the Tygerberg Children’s Hospital, the outcomes in the Western Cape are in line with other middle and high-income countries. “For parents who have to go through the very difficult experience of having a child in cancer treatment, knowing that their child has access to excellent medical care and support services, is a huge relief. I’d like to thank the staff at the hospital for their dedication to providing children from across the continent with excellent medical care, for a range of health issues,” Winde said.

Night-time trade proposal for the city Efforts to grow the night-time economy (NTE) have been gaining traction in some of the world’s most prominent cities. The NTE is a catalyst for increasing a city’s attractiveness, developing its cultural offering and creating jobs. The Sound Diplomacy’s guide to managing cities revealed that the New York NTE contributes US$10 billion to the city’s economy; whereas in Sydney the NTE accounts for
approximately 10% to 16% of the central business district employment; while the NTE is worth 6% of the United Kingdom’s gross domestic product or £66 billion annually. “I am excited to announce that the City of Cape Town is considering the potential opportunities associated with the NTE in Cape Town central and surrounds,” says James Vos, Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management.
NOTICE OF A MEETING OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN
The City’s Enterprise and Investment Department, the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the Central City Improvement District (CCID) have formed an NTE working group. The group has been developing and sharing knowledge, which will be used to boost the outlook on the NTE. A study is being planned to determine the potential economic outputs and job creation opportunities that the NTE offers – both directly and indirectly. “Depending on the results, my team will develop an action plan for implementation consisting of cross-cutting responsibilities. I am confident that the NTE holds the key to economic growth and employment opportunities. I am excited that Honours stu-
dents from UCT have been assigned the task of conducting research in this area, supervised by Professor Francois Viruly and Professor Kathy Michell (HOD) from the Urban Real Estate Research Unit. Further research will also be concluded by the City in the 2019/20 financial year,” says Vos. Research conducted in several major cities has revealed the value and NTE economic spinoffs made by restaurants, taxis, hospitality services and entertainment, among others. “I am also of the view that Cape Town will benefit from this approach as it will diversify leisure and commercial activities, become a source of employment and additional revenue for the city, while boosting tourism,” says Vos.
A meeting of the Council of the City of Cape Town will be held on Thursday 31 October 2019 at 10:00 in the Podium Block, Civic Centre, 12 Hertzog Boulevard, Cape Town. Please note that limited seating is available for members of the public and, therefore, seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If you wish to attend the meeting, you are requested to contact Nadine Damon on 021 400 3708 between 09:00 and 16:00. All requests for attendance must be received by no later than a day before the meeting. You will be required to provide your surname, initials and contact telephone number. Visitors are kindly requested to be seated by 09:30.

He has been cutting hair for roughly 16 years with more plans to develop his passion in the near future. “I had no formal training – I learned, myself. Up until now I just have experience, but I’m going to do my trade test in barbering next year, 2020.” Bester is not a full-time barber, and practices to compete in his spare time. “I’m a boilermaker and I render my services as a barber to the community; like the old age home, children’s homes, shelters and down syndrome facilities. I’m doing this so I can inspire others to do the same, not only just in barbering but in any trade,” he explains.

He has been cutting hair for 10 years, most of which have been at the salon and barbershop, Nordien’s Salon, where he currently works. “I feel good. It’s a lifetime achievement for any barber to be able to say they were barber of the year. I’m very proud of myself,” he says. The qualified barber has been one to
watch for the entire three years that the competition has been taking place in Cape Town, winning several awards every year. The community of barbers, despite many sporting tattoos and intimidating beards, have shown their compassion for the community by donating a portion of the proceeds to St Anne’s Homes for abused and destitute women and children, based in Woodstock. Barbercraft 2019 was considered a major success, with more than 60 barbers competing and showcasing their skills.

Mark Alexander has been painting since he was a child and wants to empower other artists through the studio and gallery space.

he owners of The Studio Art Gallery want to make the world of art more accessible to the public but, more than that, they want to showcase and develop the talents of local artists. The gallery, now based at Harbour Bay Centre in Simon’s Town, is a space that co-owners Lindy and Mark Alexander use to give artists a platform for their work to be seen by the greater public. They have showcased the works of many local artists and have assisted local emerging artists to enter the industry. Mark says: “About 90% of the artwork in the gallery are from artists living in the peninsula. “The peninsula gathers a lot of artists – and good quality artists,” Lindy says. “A lot of the artists come from Scarborough,” Mark adds. The gallery boasts artists such as Chris Bladen and Richard Gunston who both reside in Fish Hoek. The Alexanders also aim to assist
organisations in the community through their annual charity exhibition for Mandela Day, “where all our artists who have exhibited at the gallery contribute six pieces. Then we choose a local organisation – last year we chose the False Bay Hospital,” Mark says, explaining the idea behind the Mandela Day Block Art Exhibition. Lindy adds: “This year we did it for the iThemba School in Fish Hoek. We want to connect with the community as much as possible.” In line with their spirit of making connections and developing talent, they have launched a project which they hope to build on in the future. “We started our art academy on a Monday,” says Lindy. “The art academy is part of our 10year plan at the gallery. We want to build a proper art school on the peninsula. “We will get proper corporate social investment (CSI) funding to sponsor less privileged artists or young people that we find in the community who show potential. This gallery is kind of a stepping stone towards that,” Mark explains.
There are currently 36 budding artists in the academy, which takes place once a week when the gallery is turned into a studio. They also try to get the creative juices flowing at a young age by encouraging teachers to bring their young learners on tours of the gallery, and for workshops. The Winter Life Group Exhibition is another one of the gallery’s annual exhibitions – a nationwide search for new talent. “Each year we refresh our entire gallery’s exhibition space with a new selection of South African artwork. We also choose four outstanding artists from this selection to represent permanently,” reads the website. It takes place every year during August and September. This exhibition – and the exhibitions throughout the year – offer a unique opportunity to artists who will receive marketing and artistic guidance from the gallery, empowering them to pursue their careers in art.

Coding explored at carnival NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
H
undreds of people, young and old, participated in free coding workshops during the Africa Code Week Coding Carnival held at the Cape Town Science Centre (CTSC) in Observatory on Saturday 12 October. Julie Cleverdon, the director at CTSC, said the interest in the carnival increases yearly. It was first held five years ago. An energetic team of volunteers assisted attendees. Tour guides at the centre helped them explore scientific coding on Bee-Bots and OzoBots, Makey Makey, Six Bricks, Binary Bracelet and drone coding. Spectators were exposed to various coding methods, learning more about science and technology. Cleverdon said this not only promoted a tech-savvy community but critical thinking as well. She said with coding a person had to think fast and be proficient in problem-solving “which is essential for building a productive nation”. She said it was important that platforms like these were created and were open to all as the world was moving to a digital space, fast. It promised a prosperous future, but
parents should get involved and equipped with skills to help them monitor and ensure children effectively use technology for the betterment of themselves as well as preparing themselves to cope with the living standards of the next generation. She was hands-on and visible on the floor, interacting with the public. Shamegah Dramat from Bo-Kaap took her family to the carnival and said her children were interested in different things and she was making sure they were aware of the opportunities available in various fields. It was the second time her daughter Leila visited the centre and said science fascinated her. Leila said she learned a lot during the day and, hopefully, would be able to make an informed decision when choosing a career in the future. Daniel McIver from Edgemead is homeschooled. He spent a lot of time enjoying the moon rocket. Volunteer Mbali Dumo said it was inspiring for him to be able to share his knowledge about the equipment and variety of scientific projects available at the centre. He was operating the human gyroscope – a simulation of what it feels like to be in the space.

The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) presented its Pink Rescue Buoy emergency flotation project at the International Lifesaving’s biannual World Conference on Drowning Prevention (WCDP) in Durban on Friday 11 October. NSRI’s drowning prevention manager, Andrew Ingram, addressed delegates from around the world, explaining where the idea originated from, how it has been funded and implemented and that to date the pink rescue buoys have been used to save the lives of 46 people who were in grave danger of drowning.

NSRI’s pink buoys save lives Ingram said the Pink Buoy project was launched in November 2017 following the WCDP in Vancouver where they were inspired by the success stories of similar initiatives. A project in Hawaii reported 150 successful bystander rescues with no harm to the untrained rescuer being reported in any of these rescues. A project started in 1971 in Ireland also had phenomenal success in getting

emergency flotation to a drowning victim while emergency services were responding. Ingram said an observation from similar projects that were happening around the globe was that untrained people were going to the aid of someone who was in danger of drowning despite being advised not to. “Our Pink Rescue Buoys use simple graphics to explain that it is better to throw the float
to someone and call for help. But if someone does go into the water despite the danger, they have a much better chance of survival if they take flotation with them,” said Ingram. Sea Rescue has the support of many municipalities to put this emergency flotation in drowning hot spots. Each Pink Rescue Buoy costs R1 500 and is privately sponsored which means that there is no cost to the municipalities. “We currently have 463 pink buoys at drowning hot spots around the country.” Ingram hopes support from individuals and companies will help expand the project.

Rubber to burn at Killarney at the weekend K
illarney race track will burn rubber the coming weekend as Killarney Motor Show returns. The event will give car enthusiasts an opportunity to ride along as the drivers of the E36 Cup throw their BMW 3 Series racers sideways on the Extreme Arena. The E36 is the third-generation BMW 3 Series, built from 1990 to 2000; immensely popular in South Africa to this day, it’s regarded as one of the best-balanced and most ‘chuckable’ sports sedans ever offered to local petrol-heads. Powered by a screaming three-litre straight six, it’s a popular basis for rallycross and drifting specials. Local groups at the E36 Cup race these models in main circuit races or rallycross, and they’ll have about 10 cars on parade at the Killarney Motor Show on Sunday 27 October, ready to give you the ride of your life. The cars are modified for racing with very short gearing so, although their top speed is only around 185km/h, their acceleration is electrifying – and will be even more so in the tight confines of the Extreme Arena. To be part of the action will cost you R200 for five intense laps; the ride is open to all adults and children who are tall enough to see over the dashboard when strapped in. The E36 crew will provide you with a crash helmet and strap you in for the slide of your life. Book at the E36 pits at the end of the main straight, where the dragstrip crosses the Kfm Straight. You won’t have to wait there for your turn – the crew will tell you exactly when your ride is scheduled, so you can go off and enjoy the Killarney Motor Show until then. That includes a full Tar Oval Racing event; you’ll get to see them at no extra cost at the biggest, most hands-on motor show in the Western Cape, open from 10:00am to 5:00pm. This year’s show will feature no less than four active circuits, starting with the Tar Oval, where the ‘Stockies’ will be in action all day. Next door to that is the Extreme Arena, where you’ll experience non-stop entertainment including the E36 Passenger Rides, stunts, drifting, burnouts, classic motorcycle and even vintage tractor parades and tugo-war contests. There will be public karting on the ‘K’ circuit, while the new car dealers have their own dedicated test drive circuit for the first time, offering test drives on the latest models
Car enthusiasts take a look at vehicles during the Killarney Motor show last year.
all day. Dakar Rally hero Kobus Potgieter will be running a round of the Western Cape Foot-Up Trials championship over all sorts of natural obstacles on the back straight, while international stunt stars the Le Riche brothers will amaze you with impossible stunts on two wheels, including riding almost four metres straight up the side of a truck! All of this in a new, more accessible layout that includes an entirely new category of exhibitors and fascinating new displays, live music and a fun fair in the pits paddock offering exciting rides for children of all ages
and more than 100 stalls selling just about anything you can think of for your car – and your tummy, with a huge variety of watering holes serving ice-cold drinks, sit-down eateries and takeaway vendors. But it’s really all about the cars, trucks and motorcycles, with close to 1 300 vehicles on show, including new models not seen before in the Western Cape (some of which you’ll actually get the chance to drive on the Test Circuit), classic and exotic cars bearing names such as Porsche, Jaguar and Alfa Romeo from 1902 to the 1980s, and powerful racing cars and bikes. The Streetcar Show on
the Porsche Club Straight will feature cars of all types and sizes, customised inside and out and modified as only the Mother City’s petrol-heads can do it, into ‘hot rods’, American-style muscle-cars and ‘stance cars’ lowered to within millimetres of the tar. Nearly all of the vehicles on show are driven to Killarney; that’s what the biggest motor show in the Western Cape is all about. It’s for real – and you’re invited! V Book at Computicket (https://tickets.computicket.com/event/killarney_motor_show/6926375) or pay at the gate, both events for R100 for adults, R40 for scholars under 16 and free if you’re under 12.
Thistle slips up With the lead changing hands on a few occasions, Thistle Baseball Club let go of a 10-7 lead after five innings, to allow Helderberg Pirates to snatch a 11-10 victory in their Cape Town Baseball Federation Promotion League clash at the Ottery Baseball Fields on Saturday 19 October. Pirates opened the scoring with two runs in the first innings. Thistle replied immediately with four runs. Pirates took the lead again with three runs in the second and one run in the third innings. Thistle bounced back and took an 8-6 lead after three innings. Both teams scored a run each in the fourth innings. Thistle scored another run in the fifth inning to hold a 10-7 lead. Pirates bounced back with a run each in the sixth and seventh inning and two runs in the eighth innings to complete their comeback and secure a 11-10 victory. Thistle made four errors compared to Pirates’ three. Pirates left 12 runners on base with Thistle leaving seven. In other Promotion League results, Westridge continued their winning ways as they followed up their 11-8 victory over Helderberg Pirates last week with a 15-0 drubbing of Battswood. Lansdowne Eagles beat Silvertree Titans 17-2. In Bothasig, at the Abe Sher Sports fields, a grand slam from national team catcher Ky-
le Botha in the bottom of the seventh innings secured Bothasig Knights a 7-1 victory over Bellville Tygers. National team pitcher Dylan Unsworth (formerly contracted to the Los Angeles Angels) pitched three scoreless innings conceding two hits while striking out three Tygers hitters. He was replaced by another national team pitcher Jared Elario who pitched five scoreless innings before allowing Tygers to score their solitary run in the ninth innings. Elario conceded three hits while striking out twelve hitters. Only Jonathan Phillips (2/4) looked comfortable against Bothasig pitching. Besides Botha’s grand slam, Nick Eagles (2/3), Andrew Norman (2/4) and Jade Eager (2/4) were Bothasig’s top hitters for the day. Tygers used three pitchers who combined conceded 11 hits, four walks while striking out two Bothasig hitters. In other Major League results, Athlone A’s beat Van der Stel 8-0 in Stellenbosch, Durbanville lost 11-5 to Maitland Giants, and VOB Macaws mercy ruled Grassy Park Crusaders 17-7 Chukker Road in Kenwyn. V Cape Town Baseball Federation will be hosting a golf day at King David Mowbray Golf Club on Sunday 1 December. Please contact Mike Abrahams on 078 262 2249 to book your entry.
