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,” said Nieuwoudt. 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 that 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.” V To page 2.

Gavin Joe, Deon de Wet, Kashiefah Wentzel, Kevin Southgate and Peter Gordon celebrate the Supreme Court of Appeal’s ruling against Telkom and the erection of its tower in Heathfield.
Another 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 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.

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

LAVENDER HILL
‘Battlefield’ set to be taken back RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
T
he battle lines have been drawn between the gangs in Lavender Hill and the Guardians of the National Treasure nonprofit organisation (NPO); for the children of the community, who want their recreational spaces back. Ralph Bouwers, founder of the community empowering NPO, has focused on the children of Lavender Hill for years, developing meaningful programmes to keep them off the streets and out of gangs. “In Lavender Hill we’re busy with our transformation project – where we have all our youth-at-risk. We came here with the intention to take our young men-at-risk and plug them into something meaningful,” Bouwers says. Just two years ago the NPO formed its first soccer team and today there are multiple teams in each division from u.8 to premier division, all registered with the South African Football Association (Safa), as well as netball teams, boxers in training, drumline musicians and a ballet group who partake in weekly activities. Now, following the success of the programmes, the NPO and the community are hoping to grab an unmissable opportunity with both hands, for the betterment of the area. Bouwers explains: “We have some seed funding that England has, from a charity called In Place of War, to put a fence around here, and put some office spaces up, a recording studio, an internet café and a restaurant where we can make meals.” This facility will take shape on the open field on Hek Road, opposite Hillwood Prima-

members regularly opening fire on each other from opposite sides of the field. Bouwers’ intention is to reclaim the land through the erection of this community facility, which will be managed through a foundation called the Rise Above Foundation. He says: “All funds will come into the community through the foundation.” Laaiqah Khan, wife of Steenberg United Football Club amateur league’s owner, Azad Khan, says the children are unfit because they do not have a facility close by where they can practice. “Most of our players are from Lavender Hill, Seawinds and Montague Village, but our local football association is in Grassy Park and it’s tough to get all our kids there and back – and because of the violence, we don’t want them to walk.” She is confident reclaiming the field will benefit their teams beyond just allowing them to get fit. “Travelling wise, it’s going to benefit us. He (Azad) leaves home at 07:45 on a Saturday morning – up and down to the field about five times to get them all there – and he ends up coming home at 18:30. Financially it’s going to benefit us because the money comes out of the club’s pocket.” She adds: “We want this facility to be available for our kids. They are from Lavender Hill and we had practice at the beginning of the season, but we had to stop before mid-season because of the violence.” The go-ahead for the building of this facility depends on City of Cape Town who, according to Bouwers, are currently in the
process of making a decision regarding the usage of the field. “We need to fight and get this land so that these clubs can come in here and work with the children,” he concludes.

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

Lydia says the club is important because it keeps the minds and bodies of the seniors active.

Retreat Mou gets sizeable donation RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes “Christmas 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 digi-
tal 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 pa-
tients 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.

Schools learn about artisan skills RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
T
he Artisan Advocacy campaign officially kicked off at False Bay Technical and Vocational Education and Training College’s Westlake campus on Friday 4 October. The campaign was attended by the deputy minister of higher education, science and technology Buti Manamela and his entourage, as well as Penelope East, councillor for ward 71. East encouraged learners from schools in Fish Hoek, Khayelitsha, Westlake, Muizenberg and Mitchell’s Plain to embrace artisanship. “Artisans build the very fabric of the world we live in. “Not only do the artisans of our world make, maintain and develop the physical stuff we see around us; it is an artisan who lays the bricks; it is an artisan who repairs the equipment; it is an artisan who makes sure that our infrastructure is in good working order. “Artisans build the future,” she said. Leanne Andrews, a former student at False Bay College and a registered boilermaker, shared her views of artisanship with the audience of about 1 200 learners. “It’s such a privilege to be an artisan of this decade.” She added: “To our future leaders: there is a huge shortage in artisans in South Africa. There are jobs to be filled, but not enough artisans.
“Gone are the days when you needed a university degree to be successful. I urge all people to engage in this exciting movement.” Manamela told learners that the government had made provision to encourage the development of artisans. Students who came from households earning less than R300 000 annually could study for free. This, he said, was only one of the reasons why learners should consider artisan careers. “All of you should consider becoming artisans. A few years ago, when financial markets were the big thing, a lot of young people were encouraged to consider careers where they wear nice suits … and they were made to believe that is the symbol of success. “What we’re seeing now is a turnaround because society cannot only depend on people who want big corner offices. “We also want plumbers, we want electricians, we want all of those skills that will help build the country,” Manamela said. Clarishe Galant (18), Chandre Hartogh (17), Doné Afrika (19) – all Grade 11 learners from Lentegeur High School in Mitchell’s Plain – agreed that the event and the talks were very informative. Afrika was not convinced that accepting an artisanship was for her, however. She still would like to enter the corporate environment, as a social worker. Learners were able to engage with exhibitors who displayed virtual reality technologies, robotics and 3D technologies to pique their curiosity.

Lavender Hill are the Knockout Champions RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
A
t the end of September, the u.16 Lavender Hill Football Club team fought their way through a knockout tournament and came out victorious, winning the title of 2019 Knockout Champions. The knockout tournament, organised by the South Peninsula Football Association,
sees teams compete in head-to-head soccer matches where the winner of each game moves on to compete against the other teams while the losing team’s journey comes to an end. Mark Nicholson, chairman and co-owner of Lavender Hill Sports Club expressed great pride for the boys in the team; many of whom have faced significant hardships growing up in the gang, drug and crime-riddled commu-
nity. The team showed their determination however, overcoming the social challenges they face and squaring up to many more experienced teams, with only one season of soccer under their belt as a team. “Getting the boys there took lots of motivation. Our boys from 14-years-old become gangsters and get into drugs, so we have to keep motivating them. I tell these boys that somewhere out there, there is a future wait-

ing for them,” he says. Along with motivation, the teams practice three times a week to get into good shape to compete. Terence Hermanus, president of South Peninsula Football Association, oversees about 1 400 youth competing under the umbrella of the association, with about 75% of their members being children from Lavender Hill. “If they can make this a safe haven for the kids – all of these kids are going to Grassy Park because it’s a safe environment that side – so if this can also be a safe haven, we can also bring league matches into the Lavender Hill area,” Hermanus says. Nicholson adds that the sports club caters to children with various sporting interests. “We have a lot of kids playing football and our club has got 49 junior netball players, and 18 senior netball players with two male netball players. “We do longboarding as well, and we do the Cape Town Carnival. We’re doing everything in Lavender Hill to keep these kids occupied with sports,” he says. “These children are my heartbeat and this is their happiness and we’re very proud of our u.16 boys – we’re planning a hike for them.” The club is currently planning fundraising initiatives for two u.17 soccer players, who will travel to Spain next year to take part in an international tournament.

The proposed impoundment of private vehicles set out in the City’s amended traffic bylaw, if approved, will give authorised officials the right, without prior written notice, to impound the vehicles of unlicensed drivers, drunk drivers and street racers as well as unregistered, unlicensed and damaged vehicles. Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith said this really shouldn’t come as a surprise. “We have been saying for years that there is very little to compel behavioural change. As things stand, a motorist arrested for drunk-driving gets right back in the driver’s seat the next day and many of them re-offend because there appear to be very few consequences,” said Smith. The bylaw, first introduced in 2011, has been amended to include five new chapters dealing with powers and duties of authorised officials, equipment on or in respect of vehicles, animals, driving while under the influence and impoundment of vehicles and forfeiture to the City. It opened for public participation on Tuesday 1 October. The chairperson of the City’s safety and security portfolio committee, councillor Mzwakhe Nqavashe said: “Currently, the City’s traffic officers are allowed to impound public transport vehicles where the driver does not have an operating license or is operating in contravention of their license. The draft amendments make provision for the impoundment of private vehicles under certain circumstances.” In terms of the draft document, authorised officials may, in the interest and the safety of the public, without prior written notice, impound vehicles where the: . vehicle was involved in reckless or negligent driving or illegal street racing; . vehicle is unlicensed or the licence disc has been expired for more than 90 days; . vehicle is unregistered;
. vehicle is not fitted with licence plates; . vehicle is damaged or is in a state of disrepair and is, in the opinion of the authorised official, not roadworthy; . vehicle is a taxi which is being operated in contravention of the conditions of approval its operating licence or off the approved route; . vehicle has been left abandoned as specified in section 61; . driver of the vehicle is unlicensed, or the driver does not have his or her driver’s licence available for inspection; . driver of the vehicle is under the influence of intoxicating liquor or a drug having a narcotic effect; . driver did not stop when signalled to do so by an authorised official resulting in the driver having to be pursued and forced to stop. Nqavashe said statistics showed, yearon-year, 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.

PEOPLE'S POST | RETREAT Tuesday, 8 October 2019
Use these garden waste disposal sites instead 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 threeyear 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 land-
fills daily where it is being 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 have assured residents they are doing their utmost to ensure the inconvenience to those who make use of these facilities is minimised.

Rat, Lion, Dassie and Hare put on a show at the new Jungle Theatre in Muizenberg.PHOTO: MARYATTA WEGERIF PHOTOGRAPHY
‘Dassie’s Tale’ comes to Muizenberg Described as: “Adequately silly and engaging for children of the target age group – and everyone”, the Jungle Theatre Company will be performing their new show, Dassie’s Tale, starting this week. Thanks to funding from the National Lotteries Commission, Dassie’s Tale will be part of the Muizenberg Festival on Saturday 12 October from 15:00 to 16:00. It will take place in a new theatre space for family shows called the Jungle Theatre, at 3 Marchmont Road in Muizenberg. Dassie’s Tale is an African folk tale suitable for ages three and up. The story is set in ancient times when the earth was created. All the animals embarked on a journey to share their talents. However, Dassie was too lazy to make the effort, and learnt an important lesson about working hard and being honest. The performance includes isiXhosa dialogue, beautiful songs, expressive dance and imaginative masks. Tickets are on sale for R50 and will available on Quicket and at the door. Refreshments and children’s books will also be on sale. All proceeds will be used to support the ongoing activities of the Jungle Theatre Company, a registered nonprofit organisation. V Call 021 788 5641 or email info@jungletheatre.co.za for more information; or visit www.jungletheatre.co.za. Buy your tickets at https://qkt.io/DassiesTale.
Fresh talent on stage Jazzart Dance Theatre in the CBD is hosting a live performance by its 15 students from Friday 18 to Saturday 26 October. They will be performing in the dance production, Emerge, along with 14 JazzartChrysalis Leadership one-year dance programme trainees. The production represents South Africa’s hope for a creative future. It will be directed by Jazzart’s artistic director, Sifiso Kweyama. Patrons are promised a dazzling act representing the five elements – air, earth, fire, metal and water – which all together portray a creative springboard as “each element is linked to the growing power of the people standing together to effect change”. “The female dancers emerge from the shadows to take a stand for themselves. The piece reflects a mood and a movement which is resonating around the globe at present. The raw vulnerability of each woman; their pain to be heard and seen; their daily struggles and to be taken seriously.” Tickets cost: R80 per person, R50 (students), R30 (pensioners, block bookings) and are available at Computicket.

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.
