WESTRIDGE GARDENS | GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

Prayer to end violence SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

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.

he catheterisation laboratory (cath labs) at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital brings heart treatment closer to Africa’s children through a new, innovative online learning and teaching platform. Called CathChat, the cutting-edge platform enables cardiologists to learn and teach interventional catheterisation techniques in real-time from and to anywhere in the world. Associate professor Rik De Decker, who leads Cath Labs, says although interventional cardiology is widely practised as a specialisation in the developed world, cardiologists in Africa are unable to easily access the knowledge required to specialise in cardiac catheterisation. De Decker explains: “To learn, they need to travel internationally,

which is expensive and often only provides a narrow understanding of one sub-specialisation. Interventional cardiology is also a rapidly growing field, with developing technologies and new devices coming on to the market all the time.” The CathChat system was developed and first implemented in 2017. It was designed to be easily replicable at a relatively low cost. It requires digital cameras and sound, and an internet connection. It’s accessible to doctors who want to learn, observe or participate free of charge online. Inside the cath lab, two X-ray machines (at the front and side of the patient), a cardiac ultrasound machine and haemodynamic pressure and electrocardiography (ECG) monitors, a video camera and a sensitive mi-

crophone transmit all internal and external data. A “producer” monitors proceedings and facilitates the conversation between the online experts, audience and the theatre team. According to De Decker, this is the only system of its kind in the world. “We designed it specifically to build cathing (catheterisation) capability in Africa. The system is showing results, too. Our capacity to perform complex and corrective procedures has grown significantly. We now hope to foster this ability in other cath labs in Africa.” De Decker says patient privacy is essential, so the procedures are completely anonymised, and viewers will not be able to identify the patient. The laboratory use catheterbased procedures to treat children who have common and complex cardiac, vascular renal and lung conditions. “Cath lab intervenes at three different stages of treating the most common heart defects. First is to monitor lung pressure before surgery; second is to look for and correct any residual defects after surgery and lastly, the most exciting, is when there has been no surgery, yet we can fix the problem,” says De Decker. Seven potentially fatal common heart lesions are possibly correctable by interventional cardiac catheterisation. Part of the beauty of cath-ing is that these can be fixed without surgery or intensive care and with only two nights in hospital. Cath lab conducts 23 different kinds of procedures, from pre-operative checks, repairs after surgery to procedures from scratch without needing surgery. However, it is separate from the surgical theatres. The hospital is now making provision for a new hybrid cath lab, where the cathing team and surgeons can work Doctors who want to learn, observe or participate in interventional cardiac catheterisation can do so seamlessly to make the process through, CathChat, an online teaching platform. more efficient.

Retreat Mou gets sizeable donation RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

ager 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

hristmas has come early for us,” said Sister Lynda Smith of the Retreat Midwife Obstetrics Unit (Mou) in Cafda Village.

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 –

Muso needs help to share his story SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic

He says Jackson did not get much time to be a child because he had to go around performing with his family, and that is the same that happened to him. Baariek explains that the show he intends to host in November will also be a tribute to Jackson and then he wants to share what he (Baariek) has been taught overseas. He says the show is going to be “massive” and it will include dancing and a lot of singing. The artist mentions he has written a song titled Why Did I Fall In Love. The song is a dedication to his sweetheart, Haanim. “It took me almost two months to write this song because it is very special.” His other wish is to be a great father to his three children and make sure they do not go through the hardships he went through when he was growing up. V For more information and to find out how to support him, call 073 159 7612.

After spending more than four years abroad, Baariek Losper has returned home and wishes to do a review of his trip in the form of a musical extravaganza. He is currently putting ideas together for a show which is expected to take place in Salt River in November. The 27-year-old jazz and RnB artist was born and bred in Manenberg but moved to Athlone when he married his wife, Haanim. He started singing at the age of 15. Growing up in Manenberg, he was exposed to guns and drugs every day, he says. “As a young boy coming from school, I would be approached by older people who asked me to sell drugs for them because people would not suspect me as I was a child,” he reveals. Baariek says singing with his sister, Inshaaf, and his father, Riedewaan, who was their producer and director, “rescued” him. “We used to sing cover versions of songs and people loved our music.” Their big break came when they won auditions held by a company called The Romantic Corporate. Their prize included a five-year tour to Spain. They also went to Monaco and Paris, to do what they love – singing. They returned two years ago. During the tour, someone told him he had a Michael Jackson “aura” and suggested that he should consider learning his moves. “At that time, I did not know much about Michael Jackson but when I heard his story I could relate,” he says. Baariek Losper

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: “Our people sometimes don’t have the funds or the transport to come for their medication.” 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.

Construction worker bags R1 million on-air NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

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.

MOTIVATION

Kung Fu master releases book SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic

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 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 expe-

rience which he documented for more than two years while travelling. He explains his motive: “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 fighting 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 them-

Eluxolweni Primary School’s band serenades the attendees.

In an effort to bring musical entertainment to the community and to give youngsters an opportunity to perform in front of an audience, Institute for Music and Indigenous Arts Development (IMAD) hosted the first-ever Lansdowne Spring Music Festival on Saturday 28 September. IMAD seeks to develop music and indigenous arts while making it easy to access and to provide education in the field of arts. They are targeting schools and local communities at grassroots level. Held at York Road Primary School, the event saw more than five bands belting tunes on stage. The bands included the hosting school’s band, Khayelitsha’s Eluxolweni Primary School and Little Giants. One of the organisers Nick Green said even though the event was happening for

selves 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 ill-treating 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, once all the distribution deals have been finalised, it will be available at all major book stores.

the first time, the intention is to make it an annual affair in the area. He mentioned that it has been hosted in other areas such as Khayelitsha. “This event gave our young musicians from these communities the opportunity to experience performing in front of an audience. In addition, it provided an evening of entertainment for members of the local community,” he explained. He added the concert also provided the availability of music tuition to the youngsters in their community. Included in musical tuition, the youngsters were taught how to play the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, piano, guitar and drums. They were also given some mini-workshops on how to sing in a choir. “They have the opportunity to play in a band and then graduate to the Little Giants, the premier youth band in South Africa. IMAD concentrates on teaching and playing indigenous South African jazz,” he explained.

The youth who attended the launch of the matric camp programme.

Camp programme to support matrics A total of 43 learners from Crystal Secondary School will join a matric camp programme which was launched at the school on Monday 30 September. The launch was held in partnership with Chrysalis Youth Academy to prepare learners for the upcoming examination period, at the end of the year. The programme is about the learners benefiting from one-to-one tutoring, psychosocial support and inspirational workshops to prepare them both academically and mentally for their upcoming exams. Provincial minister of community safety, Albert Fritz said in a statement: “The camp aims to facilitate access to opportunities for the youth beyond matric.” Fritz explained that Crystal Secondary School forms part of the three high schools targeted as a part of the Hanover Park safety blitz project to address crime and violence in the community.

“It is vitally important that our young people are made aware of the opportunities available to them after school, and are supported to ensure that they receive their qualification. “We need to ensure that they are not left behind or fall prey to a life of crime, but instead play an active and productive role in our society,” he said. Fritz added StatSA tells us that in the first quarter of 2019, 55.2% of South African youth between the ages of 15 to 24 were unemployed. He said it is, therefore, necessary that initiatives are put in place which equip young people for the life of work, further study and adulthood as they complete their schooling. He also added those initiatives ultimately aim to provide opportunities for and capacitate young people with navigational skills which are key to safeguarding the province and facilitating development.

Alternative garden waste disposal sites to be used The City of Cape Town advises all residents and businesses using the City’s drop-off sites to dispose of garden waste that the capacity is currently limited due to delays in the appointment of a chipping contractor. Until a contractor can be appointed to perform garden greens chipping at these sites, commercial entities may be referred to alternative drop-off sites, or landfills if their load is greater than 1.5 tonnes, or if they are dropping off multiple loads per day. In order to minimise the inconvenience, the City is temporarily accepting and stor-

ing garden waste at the closed Bellville site while the matter is still being resolved. The appointment of a chipping contractor has been delayed due to the emergence of a new invasive species of beetle, the polyphagous shot-hole borer beetle that lives in the trunks and branches of trees. This species was detected in April this year, and the City’s invasive species unit has been working since then to address the problem. Specifications for the previous three-year tender were drafted before this emergence and did not contain requirements for dealing with

the threat posed by such species. While the new tender specifications are being developed, and the bidding process on a revised long-term tender unfolds, the City’s solid waste department is working toward the appointment of contractors who can perform the chipping process in the interim. All possible avenues to get an interim service up and running as quickly as possible are being explored. In the meantime, garden waste disposed at drop-off sites is being transported to landfills daily where it is be-

ing stockpiled until an interim contractor is appointed. A list of the City’s drop-off facilities and landfill sites, and details of their operating hours and location, are available on the City’s website. All of these facilities will accept green waste, except for Sea Point, Woodstock and Retreat which are closed for upgrade construction. The City regrets the inconvenience caused and they are doing their utmost to ensure the inconvenience to those who make use of these facilities is minimised.

The event was organised by the local organising committee (LOC) of Hanover Park Community Action Task Team. They were supported by the provincial department of cultural affairs and sports. According to the chairperson of the LOC, Denver Andrews, the event aimed to “win over” the youth from gangsterism and also to unite community members and organisations.

He said the members who were involved in organising the event came from different political parties. “The aim is to get community organisation to work on one plan when it comes to developing sport in this area, and for the organisations to support one another and put differences aside,” he explained. Part of the event also sought to stimulate the interest of sport in the youth and for social cohesion to prevail in the area. “Besides, this sports ground is where netball first started in Hanover Park. (So) we are using this event to remind our youth of that and that all sporting codes can start there,” explained Andrews. He also mentioned that the court where the event was held has been used by two rivalry gangs. He shared how the youth was reluctant to attend the event, expressing concern of when the gangsters could resume shooting. He said he assured them

that all security measures were in place. He alluded the presence of the police and emergency services. Attending the fun day to show support to the youth was the Hanover Park the Kennel Ministries pastor, Freda Filander. “We have to be involved as the church plays an important role in the community. Also, this event is important because it keeps our youth off the streets and gives them something to look forward to,” she said. She said she does not support a specific team or code but all of them and she wishes they could continue playing. For Eugene Smith, the event is bigger than just the sporting codes. He said it is a good initiative to rescue the youth from the life of drugs and gangsterism. Smith is a referee who used to be a part of Hanover Park Football Club. He said he wishes they could continue and host an even bigger event next year.

The City of Cape Town recognised its environmental health practitioners on World Environmental Health Day, Thursday 26 September.

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. 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.” 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 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. 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.

The WCG is guided by the principles of Employment Equity. Candidates with disabilities are encouraged to apply and an indication in this regard would be appreciated.

Bosties first, come rain or shine NETTALIE VILJOEN

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 or-

ganisation 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.

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 by the road works are: . Ascension Road between Duinefontein Road and Heideveld Road; . Main Road between Forth Avenue and Eendrag Road; . Eendrag Road between Forth Avenue and Zenith Road; . Leader Street between Main 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 order to create an orderly situation, flag personnel will be in place to regulate traffic flow. That will be done in the form of stop and go in one direction at a time. Work areas will be demarcated, temporarily, to manage and control traffic flow. Commuters are also advised to adhere to speed limits. In case there are alternative routes available, commuters are urged to make use of such.

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 can- Hele; conversions: Tayla Kinsey; penalty: celled this out in the 49th minute as Aphiwe Shuneez van Heerden.

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 Scotland made the most of their last try-scoring opportunity with Lloyd crossing Springbok vice-captain and WP women captain, Babalwa the chalk for her second try on Latsha, led from the front during their test match against the stroke of fulltime after dash- Scotland on Saturday 5 October.
