He says it was challenging but he fought his way back and regained his strength. Part of what he does is to head projects aimed at inspiring children faced with challenges. He uses small sailing boats as a para-
ble to teach children valuable life lesson. He explains: “Because big boats are faster, they laugh at the small ones. But in the end, all of the boats finish the journey. “I say to these children, ‘No matter the darkness you are facing, you can succeed. You need to fight. “You can be small or sick, but if you dream big and if you follow those dreams, you can make it’,” he says. His wish is to leave them with the feeling

Quest to calm traffic LEBOGANG TLOU @lebsie210
R
oad enhancing refurbishments are underway in Grassy Park this month, with the insertion of a traffic circle on Lake Road to curb reckless driving. The roadworks on the new circle began on Wednesday 2 October. The safety circle replaces a four-way stop, which have residents complained about since 2016. “There has been continuous complaints regarding speeding, drivers not following the rules of the road, and taxis simply driving without yielding or stopping,” says ward
councillor, Patricia Van der Ross, commenting on the circle on Lake Road. According to Van der Ross, the road modifications were first tabled in 2016, and are presently underway as part of upgrades scheduled for September and October. “We need to look at the refurbishing of the roads in the Lotus River and Grassy Park area,” Van der Ross says, appealing to her ward constituents to reach out to her office with suggestions towards calming traffic, or any inquiries on the progress thus far. “Should the residents feel that there is a need for traffic calming, they can visit the ward office at the Lotus River multi-purpose

“Many children return to their homes for the holidays but some stay behind. “So, for them to have an event like this means a lot. It gives them something to look forward to,” Mbambani said. A 13-year-old boy from one of the organisations says he had a great time and that he likes boats. He thanks the organisers for taking them out for a day. He says when he finishes school he wants to be a doctor and help children who have suffered burn wounds like him. The event was a buildup to the Great Optimist Race which will take place on Saturday 19 October at the V&A Waterfront. The money raised will be donated to a charity chosen by each winner and to the Little Optimist Trust.

Retreat Mou gets sizeable donation RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
“C
hristmas has come early for us,” said Sister Lynda Smith of the Retreat Midwife Obstetrics Unit (Mou) in Cafda Village. Muslim Hands, the international aid agency with its South African base in Rylands Estate, donated several essential items to the maternity unit at the Retreat Community Health Centre and Day Hospital, on Wednesday 2 October. Sheikh Haashim Peck, programme manager from Muslim Hands, was the master of ceremonies at the handover ceremony and explained why this centre was the recipient. “Muslim Hands selected this hospital at this location because we saw the need to enhance a certain part of the hospital, and that is the maternity unit. “The items will help enhance the maternity unit and make work easier for the very special group of people, our sisters and nurses and facility managers at the hospital,” he said. Among the items donated were three digital baby scales, two reclining chairs for the post-natal ward where mothers can nurse their babies after birth, 15 wheelchairs, 20 pillows and 40 pillow protectors, which will save costs at the maternity unit by allowing them to reuse pillows. “It’s normal for the patient to bleed and it soils the linen, and no one wants to lie on the soiled linen. So, we have to throw them away each time,” Smith explained. The donation also included items to
improve the working environment for staff. These items are a new stove, two microwaves – one for staff and one for patients – and chairs for the sisters and nurses to complete documentation and paperwork. “The maternity ward at Retreat hospital deserved all this. One of the reasons is that it’s much needed here, because this is a place that’s been neglected a little bit,” said Peck. The centre manager, Susan Meyer, was thankful for the donations which will serve a large number of people from various communities. “The people who will really benefit from this is our community and the patients that come here. We also serve Lotus River and Grassy Park and Lady Michaelis (Day Hospital); they all come here and give birth here.” Ward councillors Marita Petersen and Shanen Rossouw, who have both birthed children there, attended the handover and thanked Muslim Hands on behalf of the City of Cape Town. Rossouw made special mention of the challenges faced by people in the south, but she commended the maternity unit for their tireless efforts to serve the community and expressed her confidence that the new items will help them serve even better. Meyer added: “So with our 24-hour service, which is the only 24-hour service in the southern parts, they will definitely benefit from this. We are so humbled and so grateful.” The overall value of the donation, which was garnered through Muslim Hands’ work with their international donors, was R79 000.
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 or intoxicated 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.” 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. 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.

COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS ELDERS AWARD
Masiphumelele’s Lydia helps others RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
L
ydia Nogaga, a 76-year-old resident from Masiphumelele has been nominated for a Community Champions Elders Award by the subcouncil 19 chair, Patricia Francke. She is one of the top three finalists in the 70 to 80 years category of the awards presented by the People’s Post, TygerBurger and City Vision newspapers, in partnership with Spec-Savers. Lydia, who previously worked with children, has been running a club called Yizani Sibonisane Seniors’ Club since 2015. The club meets every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00 to 14:00. “I found out that the old people are left alone at home. Their children are working and some of them can’t do much. “To sit at home doing nothing – or to be left with children – is no good for them,” she says, adding that she had another seniors’ club previously but could not continue due to lack of support. The club has about 52 elders, including those with physical and mental challenges, who take part in the activities planned by Lydia and Thabisa Manyase, who began assisting her after the club had begun. Thabisa says: “I make the food, ask for donations, and make a plan for funding. “Lydia started before me, and after I left my job at Pick n Pay, I just wanted to do something that’s worth it and feels like I’m doing something different.” She says it is fulfilling to do the work she does, to cater to the sometimes forgotten

The club receives donations from Pick n Pay, Food Lover’s Market and Checkers Muizenberg; and they are in the process applying for funding with the department of social development, “but it’s very difficult,” says Thabisa. Lydia says the club is important because it keeps the minds and bodies of the seniors active. Francke, who believes Lydia is deserving of the recognition, wrote in her nomination: “Lydia assists the elderly by getting their medication, taking it to their homes and

Critical need for teacher wellbeing As the fourth and final school term kicked off, Wise (Wellbeing in Schools and Education) has placed the spotlight on teacher wellbeing and the high levels of stress in the classroom 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: . Deep 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 may be Teachers of Christian Davids Moravian Primary School in Coniston Park learn how to de-stress.

Bosties first, come rain or shine NETTALIE VILJOEN
N
ot even a South African Weather Service alert forecasting adverse weather around the Western Cape coastline with stormy conditions could keep avid supporters of Boston Terrier Rescue South Africa home on Sunday 29 September. Braving the storm, the registered non-profit company (NPO) went ahead with its Cape Town Boston Meet held at the Green Point Cricket Club from 11:00 to 15:00. Fiona Strydom of the NPO said there were concerns surrounding attendance, but, seeing that everything had already been arranged, there was no going back. “We weren’t going to disappoint our Bostie fans by cancelling the event. The Boston community, which feels like one big family, is one of a kind (online and in-person).” Strydom says even though they knew Bostie fans would come out to support them, they were still overwhelmed by their attendance and big hearts. Besides southern suburb residents, people came from as far afield as Strand, Paarl, Langebaan and Stellenbosch to show their support. About 157 humans and an estimated 50 Boston Terriers attended the event. “It is difficult to count when
you have a bunch of Bostons bouncing around everywhere,” says Strydom. “There is something about Bosties that make humans go the extra mile for them. This again proved Bostie owners’ commitment and care.” The raffle prizes up for grabs might have had something to do with it as well. Artist Ilse Du Plooy’s painting called Boston Mafia and products donated by Italian Deli Online, Poppy Devine sleepwear, Jordan Wine Estate wine, Radisson Red Hotel, The Zone Fitness Centre and private donations were combined to make up different raffles. A range of donated doggy biscuits, from Dingo Pet Treats, Boston Style Bakery & Chill’O Jam biscuits (all the way from Polokwane), were added to the raffles. Except for the Bostie dash, which had to be cancelled due to intermittent rain, activities went ahead as planned. Doggy biscuits, stickers, tote bags, notebooks, mugs and fridge magnet note pads, all with a Boston logo, were on sale. A pet photographer, Angie Fullard, also took photos of Bosties with their owners at the meet. According to Strydom, at least R11 000 was raised at the event which will go towards vet bills and other expenses. “It was a fundraising event, but we also wanted to create
awareness about our rescue organisation and give Boston Terrier owners the opportunity to socialise with other Bostie lovers,” said Strydom. Greenpoint Cricket Club sponsored the venue. Strydom says they plan to make this an annual event. “We will also try to have one or two smaller social events during the year. Many owners have already asked when we are going to have another event, especially those who could not make it.” The NPO is made up of a small group of dedicated volunteers from around the country. Together they rescue, rehabilitate and rehome abandoned, unwanted, neglected and surrendered dogs of any age. “We network extensively and spread the word about Bostons that are in shelters, take fosters into our own homes and conduct extensive home checks to ensure that when we rehome a dog it is for life.” Strydom says they understand that people’s circumstances can change. “We are always happy to assist with surrendered dogs or finding the best possible forever home. If needed, flights can be arranged free of charge and we will assist with transport and relocating where needed.” V For more information, email fiona.strydom@gmail.com.

The City of Cape Town recognised its environmental health practitioners on World Environmental Health Day, Thursday 26 September.
The City talks climate change With World Environmental Health Day commemorated annually on 26 September, the City of Cape Town brought environmental health practitioners together to talk about climate change, its effects and the roles of practitioners. The theme for 2019 focuses on climate change and how it affects human health, directly and indirectly – particularly in vulnerable communities. According to the leaders in the charge against climate change, the International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH): “Direct and indirect health impacts associated with climate change are caused by rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns as well as increasingly severe and frequent extreme weather events. Direct health impacts arise from hazards such as heat-waves, droughts and storms, and indirect impacts come from
exposures to disease vectors, air and water pollution. Rising carbon dioxide levels, which contribute to climate change, may also reduce the nutrient value in staple crops. This could increase food insecurity among some populations, particularly those in developing countries.” Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien says the City is also looking to combat the progression of the global crisis. “Climate change is a very abstract concept for many people, but in Cape Town, we have, in the last three years, come face-to-face with the potential devastation that it can bring,” he says, referring to the water crisis. “It has forced us to start looking very differently at the traditional role of health practitioners, and those they work with. The conversation continues, because there are no easy answers. The one thing that is certain, is that
collaboration within the City administration is crucial, but also with outside parties and, of course, our residents.” He adds: “The City’s environmental health department performs so many different functions that the public is oblivious to, and they acquit themselves of their task very well. However, the demands on these professionals increase daily, as a result of factors like climate change, the growing population and other socio-economic factors. “So, while climate change is the focus of World Environmental Health Day, it is also an opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of the department and the role it plays in building safer communities.” V Residents can report any health nuisance, environment-related complaints or concerns to the City’s call centre on 0860 103 089 or visit their nearest environmental health office or clinic.

CITY PLANNING
Mast tower victory for Heathfield RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
F
or more than two years, Heathfield residents, together with the City of Cape Town, have battled network providers on the erection of cellphone masts (cellphone towers). A final judgment has been made in favour of the City. “The decision has been two years in the making – and it all started with the erection of the tower without formal consultation and application. “Even I, as the councillor, was shocked to see the tower here,” said Kevin Southgate, councillor for ward 72, pointing to the cellphone mast on Fourth Road. According to a City of Cape Town statement, Telkom installed a cellphone mast in Heathfield in 2017 without approval from the City, breaching the Municipal Planning Bylaw. Telkom challenged the bylaw in the Western Cape High Court. “At the time, Telkom planned to install 135 masts across Cape Town, and went ahead and installed seven masts without obtaining the City’s approval,” the statement read. The City opposed Telkom’s application in the court, as well as its appeal at the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA). “Telkom argued that they were free to install cellphone towers wherever they deem fit, irrespective whether the land is zoned for that use or not,” Mayco member for spatial planning and environment Marian Nieuwoudt, said in a statement to the media last week. On Wednesday 25 September, a judgment was delivered in favour of the City. “The judgment concurs with the order from the Western Cape High Court last year that Telkom is bound by the municipal planning by-law like all other developers and
landowners in Cape Town,” she said. Southgate said residents took it upon themselves to drive this matter. “And now the SCA has rejected the service provider’s appeal,” he said. Kashiefah Wentzel is one of the residents who played an active role in opposing the erection of the tower in Fourth Road, as well as the one at Southfield train station in 2015. “If anything happens in the community there is a due process which allows residents to voice our opinions,” she said, adding both masts were erected unlawfully and without the support of the community. Their concerns were primarily focused on the health impacts the masts could have on residents and the environment. Wentzel said: “I voiced my opposing opinions because there is proof that these towers emit radiation. resident, Gavin Joe, added: “Also we’ve got the vlei right here, so it can impact the ecosystem.” Deon de Wet, a resident, says it also affects property values. “We also need to look at our property valuations. Because of this, this lady can’t get her property sold,” he said, gesturing to a house near the Fourth Road mast. Southgate said the City needed to start looking at relevant criteria to determine the health impact such technologies had. In South Africa, national legislation underscores the international belief that these masts hold extremely limited health risks. The City of Cape Town takes its cue from this legislation. According to Southgate, the local schools and churches have been approached by Telkom to build the masts on their properties, none of whom have accepted the offers. While the ruling by the SCA is a win for
the community, Southgate said the next step was to put pressure on the City to begin dismantling the masts. Mooketsi Mocumi, head of communications for Telkom, responded to the ruling. “Telkom has noted the judgment and is busy reviewing to consider our options going forward.
“We are not yet in a position to comment in any greater detail at this stage until management has had an opportunity to obtain advice on the judgment and to consider the advice provided.” Telkom still has an opportunity, until 16 October, to appeal to the Constitutional Court.

Faster procedure for cancer patients NOMZAMO YUKU #NomzamoYuku
C
ancer patients at Groote Schuur Hospital in Observatory will now get state-of-theart treatment after the hospital invested millions in a Halcyon radiotherapy machine. The machine was launched at the hospital’s oncology unit on Wednesday 2 October. It was purchased from Varian Africa at a cost of R35 million and was shipped from Switzerland. It is hoped it will help manage the growing demand of cancer patients needing radiotherapy. According to Nanette Joubert, head of the department of medical physics, a procedure will only take less than eight minutes per patient with the new machine and they can accommodate an average of 40 patients daily. The machine stores details of each patient so that they are accurately identified with each examination. The name is displayed on a small screen during each procedure. Joubert says the machine is an all-in-one design, with a self-shielding layer that makes it even safer. Joubert explains all the required examinations and treatments will be performed in one go. This will also help
reduce the waiting period for patients who need treatment. Jeannette Parkes, head of radiation oncology, says the machine can treat complicated radiotherapy plans that conform to the highest standard in the world. She says it allows accurate verification of the patient’s position during every radiotherapy treatment day. “This is particularly important for patients who are being treated in areas where soft tissue organs can move with daily physiological changes,” Parkes says. Dr Bhavna Patel, the hospital’s chief executive officer, thanked everyone who played a role in sourcing and making sure the machine is in a position to render the intended services. Another word of gratitude came from Francois Heyns a cancer patient, who is battling cancer for a second time since his first diagnosis in 2011. He says it is good to know that the government cares and invests in advanced equipment to save lives. He says unlike the first time he was diagnosed, he is now more positive, knowing he’s getting the best treatment in the country. He encourages those that have been diagnosed with cancer to not be frightened and think it is a death sentence. “You can beat it.”

PEOPLE'S POST | GRASSY PARK Tuesday, 8 October 2019
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.” 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.” 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 canScotland 38 (19) – tries: Jade Konkel (2), celled this out in the 49th minute as Aphiwe Lisa Thomson, Abi Evans, Rhona Lloyd (2); Ngwevu (replacement centre) scored their conversions: Sarah Law (3), Helen, Lisa first try of the match from a pick-and-go.

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 forward play. The hosts continued to add 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 Scotland made the most of their last try-scoring opportunity with Lloyd crossing the chalk for her second try on the stroke of fulltime for a 38-15 victory.
