A new take on natural fun DALEEN FOUCHÉ

T

HE Table Mountain National Park unveiled its revamped activity permit, which allows unlimited year-long access for a particular activity to parts of the reserve, at a press conference on Wednesday.

The My Activity Permit is a restructured management tool to ensure that the impact of activities within the park is properly managed, and that the extraordinary biodiversity of the park is protected.

But the debate on the revised permit system was already in full swing before the unveiling last week. In a letter to People’s Post (“Give my dog its own permit”, People’s Post, 16 August), Roy Phillips asked whether it would not be more practical to give dogs a permit instead of people. This way, he argued, a family would not have to buy several permit cards, but only one for the family dog.

In response to this debate, and to a request made by the Friends of the

Dog Walkers (FDW), the TMNP will now further investigate possibilities for family and couple permits for dog walking in the park; this would offer a discount for each member of a family applying for a permit.

But Merle Collins, spokesperson for the TMNP, says this structure is still to be completed. However, Collins says the TMNP will engage with the Scarborough and Kommetjie Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Associations to offer discounts to residents who only walk their dogs on their local beaches and do not use other park facilities.

Collins says residents will be informed of the discounts once they have been finalised.

The cost of the activity card is determined by the impact the activity is deemed to have on the park, and ranges from R135 for a dog-walking permit to R280 for a horse riding or line fishing permit.

Park manager Paddy Gordon said during the press conference that some activities are prohibited in some areas of the park, depending

on the sensitivity of the environment. For instance, dog walking is not permitted at Cape Point. He said this zoning scheme was developed through the analysis of several years’ worth of research.

Gordon further explained that a permit holder would not have to pay fees for entering the park when engaging in the permitted activity, but would need a My Green Card or a Wild Card to access the park otherwise.

The TMNP recently launched its My Green Card (“Go green and get access to save”, People’s Post, 2 August), which costs R80 and allows 12 entries into the park for one year.

Gordon said dog walkers and people partaking in other activities are increasing every season, with over 110 000 dog walkers, 52 000 cyclists and about 80 000 trail runners visiting the park in a year.

He said the TMNP’s first priority is to protect the biodiversity of the park, but it also realises the need to make the park accessible to people – hence the restructuring of the permit system.

Asked how the permit system would be enforced, Gordon said the park relies mainly on residents to police themselves. He said people need to sign a code of conduct when they apply for a permit, acting as an agreement between the park and the permit holder.

Even so, he warned that the rangers on patrol in the park check for permits, and that repeat offenders would be fined.

Gordon said the revamped permit system was developed in consultation with various interest groups, such as Paddle Power and the FDW. The card is available at Boulders Beach, and the TMNP offices in Westlake and Tokai. The TMNP is also negotiating with Cape Town Tourism to make cards available at its outlets.

Celebrating SA’s best Homegrown companies PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN announced the winners of its fifth annual Homegrown Awards competition at a glamorous gala dinner on Thursday.

The event, sponsored by PetroSA, was celebrated at the Sandton Convention Centre and attended by more than 450 delegates, including special guests such as councillor Parks Tau, Joburg mayor Herbert Mkhize, Nedlac executive director Cyril Ramaphosa, Baxolile Zwane (acting vice president of trade, supply and logistics for PetroSA), Leslie Sedibe (CEO of PSA), and advocate Dali Mpofu (chairperson of PSA). Sedibe applauded the winners for their great achievement and hard work.

“These are the companies that are role models to small and big companies, as these companies are

committed to the values of being Proudly South African. They are buying local to create jobs, and committed to fair labour practice, environmental responsibility and delivering high-quality goods and services. It is a real pity that some of South Africa’s leading corporations and listed companies are not members of Proudly South African, yet they often claim to be a Proudly South African company.”

Sedibe challenges each and every company in South Africa to become a Proudly South African member so that they “can truly commit themselves to working together as a nation to create jobs and eradicate poverty in this beautiful country”.

The winners of the Homegrown Awards in their respective categories this year are: Product of the year • Optiphi Skin Rejuvenation

Technologies; Service of the year • Cora’s Costumes; • Karan Beef (special recognition award); CSI of the year • Clover Mama Afrika Trust; Environmental (most green) company of the year • Green Office; Best recognised and acclaimed PSA member company (by public voting) • Stormsriver Adventures; PSA/CGF schools governance award • Victoria Girls’ High School (its second Homegrown Award); • Gert Sibande FET College (special recognition award); Best PSA company over the past 10 years • Longspan Gutters; • Karan Beef (special recognition

FASHIONA­ BLE WIN: The award for Service of the Year was giv­ en to Cora Costumes.

Says PetroSA’s Baxolile Zwane, “We are proud sponsors of this event, and it is an honour for us to witness the greatness of our nation

through the efforts of these companies, both big and small.

Well done, PSA members; keep flying the flag high so that others can follow.”

Shark safety – the choice is yours DALEEN FOUCHÉ

P

EOPLE enter the oceans at their own risk, and need to access information provided by the relevant authorities for their safety.

This according to Gregg Oelofse, head of Environmental Policy and Strategy at the City of Cape Town’s Environmental Resource Management Department.

He says the City’s role is to provide up-to-date and correct information to the public – after which it’s up to the public to make an informed decision. He says, however, that the debate around beach safety and the freedom to access the ocean is an important one in light of last week’s shark attack at Clovelly Beach.

The attack happened after Michael Cohen (42) from Plumstead parked his car at Fish Hoek Beach and walked to Clovelly for his weekly swim across the bay on Wednesday.

Sarah Titley, manager of the Shark Spotters, who keep a lookout for the predators, says the beach was closed at the time, and spotters had asked Cohen on previous occasions to check the warning flags before entering the water.

But Cohen lost his right leg above the knee – and narrowly escaped with his life – when a shark attacked him during last week’s

swim. Medical staff at the Constantiaberg Mediclinic managed save his mangled left foot during an operation.

He is currently conscious and stable in the hospital’s intensive care unit.

Clovelly, Fish Hoek and Glencairn Beaches remained closed to swimmers yesterday (Monday) owing to the attack and an increase in reported shark activity. In a press release, the City urged residents not to enter the water at Muizenberg, St James and Kalk Bay Beaches, where visibility is low. Red flags displaying a white shark have been hoisted at these sites, indicating a high alert.

Resident Lewis Gorden Plugh, an environmental campaigner and endurance swimmer, insists on the right to freedom of choice – he says he will continue to paddle in the ocean, but adds that he will always access all available information to make an informed choice. “Safety always comes first,” he says.

Still, people on the beaches over the weekend were aggressive toward the Shark Spotters, who were trying to warn them not to enter the ocean.

Titley says people should understand that a shark attack affects spotters and the community at large too, not just the victim.

Titley praises the spotters, including Monwabisi Sikweyiya, the Shark Spotters field manager, for

their “outstanding response” to the attack. She says the spotter on the mountain notified Sikweyiya and the spotter on Clovelly Beach about the impending attack on Cohen.

The beach spotter ran towards him, but could not prevent the attack.

When Sikweyiya arrived on the scene, minutes after the attack, he immediately began first aid, using his own belt as a tourniquet and elevating Cohen’s leg.

Two locals, who assisted Cohen out of the water, have also been praised for their bravery. Douglas Drysdale (61) from Glencairn Heights and Hugh Till (66) from Fish Hoek were parked at Clovely when they saw the attack.

They leapt into the ocean and helped a wounded Cohen to shore.

The two locals declined to comment.

Alison Kock, a shark researcher at the Save our Seas Shark Centre in Kalk Bay, says all evidence shows the recent attack was not an all-out attempt at feeding as the shark bit Cohen once, shook him, and then swam away. Kock says the attack differs from two previous attacks after which the bodies of the victims were not found.

Zimbabwean Lloyd Skinner died in a shark attack at Jaggers Walk in January 2010 (“System ‘not 100% effective’ strategy”, People’s Post, 19 January 2010), while local Tyna Webb was killed by a shark at the same place in November 2006.

RRP R899

resulted in a considerable increase in traffic along Dunedin Avenue.

Ward councillor Felicity Purchase confirms that the closure and speed bumps are illegal, as the servitude must remain open.

“There should be no confusion; it is on their land, but it is a servitude and it has been for 30 years,” says Purchase.

To close off a servitude, landowners have to go through a legal process to remove the title deed conditions on the land, she continues – but she assures residents that the City of Cape Town will not cut the beloved oak tree down.

Like all trees in municipal public spaces, it is protected by policy.

Asked about getting the speed bumps and signs removed, Purchase says the matter is a civil one, and residents would need to approach the courts to force Conway’s hand.

But, she adds, if Conway applies to have the title deed restriction for the servitude removed, he will need to prove to the court that council supports the matter.

Conway declined to speak to People’s Post, and instead referred the newspaper to his attorney.

People’s Post was unable to reach this attorney, as Conway provided only the name of the firm – Buchanan Boyes – of which are several branches.

The paper attempted to contact the relevant person, but could not do so at the time of going to print.

The sandy servitude in question, which joins Sleepy Hollow with Dunedin Avenue, is a favourite route for walkers and horse riders on their way to the beach.

Along with the signs, speed bumps and a gate have also been put on the thoroughfare, though the gate has since been opened.

The action to close off the servitude was taken by landowner Dr Miles Conway, who moved into the area this year. The shock of the road closure has been compounded by worry that the oak tree at the top of Dunedin Avenue, at the entrance to the local paddocks, would be chopped down.

If refuse trucks, as well as those visiting a nearby farm, are stopped from using the lane, they will be forced to use Dunedin Avenue – where access would be difficult because of the tree.

Mags Eatwell, who distributed a petition to save the tree, says oak trees are intrinsic to the character of the neighbourhood.

The pavement at the entrance to Dunedin Avenue was adapted specially to accommodate the tree. According to the petition, the recent closure of the servitude road has also

Thin blue line A CAPE TOWN car thief died at the weekend, allegedly at the hands of an SAPS officer in Athlone, adding yet another statistic to the increasing rate of police shootings nationally.

While police gave chase, the man driving the car failed to stop as instructed, and was fatally wounded.

The SAPS illustrated a steady increase in the number of public claims for shootings by police in a report released last week.

Based on figures for the year ending March 2010, these claims increased nationally from R426 million to R526 million. Claims for police assault reportedly increased from R380 million to R506 million. While national Police commissioner Bheki Cele says not all such claims are substantiated, the sharp increase remains a worrying indicator.

Intimidation and unwarranted violence by police in many communities are serious realities. Some don’t recognise the SAPS as a police service, but rather a militaristic group wielding almost absolute state-bestowed power. While allegations of corruption within the ranks remain rife, police remain at loggerheads with residents.

Some suggest the trouble is only worsened by a lack of training and quality recruitment.

But is the root of the problem inherited from a society in which the vast majority of the populace feared and loathed the police? This is very possible.

While stats like those released last week are concerning, the SAPS are in some regards making an effort. The more buy-in there is from the public for initiatives like community policing, hopefully, the better public and police will relate to one another.

And while organisations such as the Independent Complaints Directorate remain open to listen to grievances, we remain on the right track. It is true that SA officers have a long way to go to entrench themselves into some communities, but the fight to take this place is a noble one, and entirely worth its weight in gold.

Seeing red over green taxes WE are constantly being bombarded by government with new taxes, and greenhouse/carbon footprint is now a current one; with the money they recover they do not intend to do anything to reduce the problem, and will only misappropriate and waste the funds.

Then I wonder, with our light population footprint here in Southern Africa, and our almost non-existent manufacturing, how much on a global scale do we really contribute?

And if we must pay, let it be proportionate; there is no reason for us to be eager and lead.

If we look for humans who should be paying, then look to China, India, America and those chopping down the Amazon forest – tax their products.

Then there are the natural causes of the problem, and never are any of these mentioned and what their impact is – these are volcanoes, the methane produced by the tundra thawing, and then you get the animal production – sheep and cows – they too should be factored in.

Perhaps it is already being done; and that is why meat costs so much?

I see no reason why we should be taxed, nothing we do will influence the world as it is in a natural cycle, and thawing ice and water raising have happened before.

Go to the museum, they have a display that illustrates this.

Giving heartfelt thanks amid grief WE as the Gaffney family would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported us during the difficult time of our husband, father and grandfather Brian Gaffney’s passing.

Through everyone’s messages of support, personal visits, and sincere expressions of condolences, we appreciated afresh the immense role he played in so many people’s lives, and the impact his life and work had on people and the community.

Thank you to those who shared their personal experiences of Brian at his memorial service at St Cyprian’s Church; your stories about the times you shared with Brian were special, and enriched our

memories of him. The stories will always be with us. Thank you to everyone who attended the funeral service.

It was hard to say goodbye to him, but having you with us helped carry us through the process. Brian is still with us in our thoughts every day and we miss him beyond word.

But we have been encouraged by the love and support we have received from everyone who reached out to embrace us as a family.May God bless you the way you have blessed us.

Your SMSes In response . About the Amakhaya Ngoku housing project, I for one cannot understand why a person in this day and age thinks they would rather stay in a shack than pay rent, and only R400 monthly. Hell, we are pensioners and pay a R1 400 levy monthly, and we have a small pension. We pay it and we are among the minority in SA! Life’s not free. Why do they think they don’t have to pay, and before someone tells me they don’t earn enough, my Mum (87) is a pensioner and she pays for her place out of her pension. I say, those who don’t want to pay, evict them. I’m sure your list is long for people needing housing – give the flats to them. Molly . The guy caught with drugs in Muizenberg should be locked up for 15 years. If his supplier bails him out he will carry on where he left off, just from a new address. . People need to read properly. Parks where kids play should not be used for dogs to interact with other dogs.

It is a playground for children. Not all dogs are child friendly, and children should be able to play without worrying about dogs.

Is it too much to ask that dogs be on leashes and that their owners please pick up their dogs’ mess before they leave the park? I also would like to thank the couple who walked their two golden spaniels in the Milkwood Park on Sunday 25 September. Thank you for making the effort to pick up your dogs’ mess.

Just a thought . Well done to the Fish Hoek beach law enforcement for keeping my lost property. It’s the small things that matter to one person that often go unnoticed. . The kennelled dogs at Tears are waiting patiently for you to come to give them a walk. Phone the office on (021) 785-4482 if you can help. . The council has placed huge rocks next to roads. There is no truth in the rumour that the rocks are there to kill you should your car leave the road! Ralf, Muizenberg . Please, the person who picked up my camera in the Ocean View taxi, or anybody who knows

anything, phone my mom on 076 924 6414. A reward is being offered.

By the way . To my next door neighbour who threw away my rates paper which the postman put in your letter box by mistake: You should be ashamed of yourself. Remember, you will need your neighbours’ help one day. . MEC, please help our meter taxi drivers expose unscrupulous owners.

We work under duress and have to work two 24hour shifts. We are often fatigued with no time off, and only earn commission, whilst these owners are cashing in huge amounts off us, tax free. . The tip-off hotline idea is brilliant! Lynne . Please support local musician Tyler Drake on Facebook and on Twitter (@tylerdrak). His new single “On My Knees” will be available on 10 October in various online stores.

Holiday help . To the lady asking about holiday points, call the Vacations Authority South Africa. Their offices are in High Street, Bellville, and they can assist you. . In response to the message enquiring about getting rid of holiday points, contact Cape Escapes on (021) 715-8000.

Giving a howl about dogs . Whoever said dogs bark to protect owners and property is only partly correct. Most other times they bark at nothing at all, so nobody takes any notice. They’re a bit like car alarms. . I cannot believe people can be so ignorant when it comes to owning pets. All dogs are not sociable by nature, and the law requires dogs to be on leashes in public places. Children should be allowed to run and play in the parks – not dogs. . Our neighbours have sent the Metro Police to our house due to our dogs’ barking.

It just shows that drug lords and thieves have a free run to do what they do, because the Metro Police are too busy harassing dog owners. FK

After the attack

Young children and car safety THERE are two reasons people approach drivers about children who are not restrained in a car. Either they’ve lost a child in an accident, who wasn’t in a car seat or wearing a seatbelt, or they work in a trauma unit or children’s surgical ward.

If someone says something to you, please don’t verbally abuse them. Children die, or are terribly injured, nationally and internationally in car accidents because they aren’t appropriately secured. And the saddest thing for us who nurse them is that it is a preventable injury, trauma or death. If you want more information contact Childsafe South Africa on (021) 685-5208, email capfsa@pgwc.gov.za,

or go to their website at www.childsafe.org.za. They also have an online leaflet on seatbelts and car restraints at www.childsafe.org.za/downloads/buckleup.pdf.

This decade is also the Decade of Action on Road Safety. The publications section of the Decades website is www.who.int/roadsafety/publications/en. It has a link to a manual on seat belts and car restraints – look at module one. Don’t let a child you know become a statistic. Know the risks of no or inappropriate restraints and take action today.

Aegis Insurance calls out to staff A MEETING was held recently where the Aegis Staff Committee was formed to facilitate the process of contacting all former staff of the Aegis Insurance Co Ltd with regard to the Aegis Group Pension Surplus, scheduled for finalisation in October 2011.

Don’t get chummy with sharks!

I have seen the videos of sharks rolling on their sides and eyeballing the chumming boats, also of the shark raising its head out of the water for the boat guy to pat – now I wonder, is that typical behaviour?

When I was young and swam and dived in

the bay, even during the yellowtail runs, I never even thought about sharks. Life savers swam from Muizenberg to Fish Hoek and paddled out and back around the Simon’s Town lighthouse; do they still do that? I wonder what has changed. I would see in the paper

occasional photos taken from the life saving helicopter of big sharks amongst the bathers at Muizenberg, but no attacks. In fact, the only shark incident I remember is the one where the girl was bitten off Men’s Bathers, and a life saver got a medal for rescuing her.

Now I hope whoever went and saved the latest victim gets a medal as well.

OH BOY, sharks! The only way we can swim in peace in Fish Hoek again is if shark nets are installed, or a tidal pool is created for safe bathing. A while ago there was an article on cage diving, and some doctor was quoted saying that chumming and other activities associated with that money earner had no impact on shark behaviour, and I remember thinking “I wonder where he bought his degree.”

AEGIS INSURANCE Grassy Park

THE shark attack in the Clovelly last week refers.

By all accounts, the safety and response systems in place worked well, notwithstanding the power failure directly prior to the attack, which affected the siren.

The response by members of the public, the shark spotters and the medical teams was remarkable, and certainly contributed to saving Michael Cohen’s life.

All involved need to be congratulated for their bravery and professionalism.

The City needs to be congratulated for a prompt review of incident procedures and publishing the findings.

Tragically, the victim, for whatever reason, ignored the warnings and entered the water, and has now paid a terrible price. He lies in intensive care with one limb missing and other injuries.

This incident raises other issues, most notably the increasing incidence of shark sightings and attacks, and the management thereof. Without going into the emotion of this controversial topic, there is no doubt a need to debate the matter publicly, as it the general public who are most affected by these attacks.

For the last week or so one, and at times four, sharks were quite visibly patrolling the Fish Hoek bay.

Shark sightings are not unusual at this time of the year, albeit only in the last number of years because oldtimers will tell one that prior to this period, shark sightings were rare, if ever seen in inshore waters.

Things are changing.

What is unusual is that they appear, by those who are observing them, to have stayed

in the small bay almost continuously, attacking birds and seals, amongst other aggressive actions.

The science on especially the great white shark is relatively new, even by world terms – and more needs to be done. The impact of their behaviour, especially following attacks, can often be severe on the lifestyles of surrounding communities and their economy.

Last year’s National Lifesaving Championships were moved from Muizenberg, which could well have done with the week-long carnival, to Camps Bay. Shark activity was given as a reason. That this latest attack will affect beach users in the wider area, many of whom are in engaging in wholesome outdoor activity, is without doubt. Fish Hoek Surf Lifesaving is currently the strongest club in South Africa in every division, and its ocean surf skiers are the best in the world. Other sports will certainly suffer.

The authorities need to manage this matter effectively. With the summer season upon us, the pressure to use the beaches by thousands of ordinary citizens will increase.

No person who loves the environment and the outdoors, and I consider myself one, is calling for the sharks to be eradicated.

However, the authorities, including conservation bodies, readily take action, sometimes drastic, where other problem animals are concerned – both on land and in water.

They are obliged to act in the public interest, and it is incumbent on them, given both the public safety and economic impacts of this matter, to explore all influences and options as a matter of urgency.

Top of the local pops The penguins are upon us ANDRE BAKKES

ORGANISERS are gearing up for two momentous Die Burger Pops concerts on Sunday 16 October, with a host of stellar names already signed up.

The stars will be coming out for “free” on a day when the audience and performers will be doing their bit to make this Christmas a little merrier for needy children.

People’s Post caught up with two of the artists – mother and daughter Madeegha Anders and Jawaahier Petersen – to hear their thoughts on the upcoming Die Burger Pops.

“When I was approached, I was quite taken aback,” says Anders.

She looks almost as young as Petersen, but she refuses to give her age, and answers instead, “Whoever guesses right wins a prize!”

She continues, “With the amount of talent we have in Cape Town, it was a surprise to be asked. There are like a zillion artists in Cape Town.

“We look forward to it very much, and I was given a song I’ve always wanted to do. It was written by a very talented woman – my groot pêl – Mynie Grové. She’s just it!”

All the artists will be on stage for the opening and final songs, and in between they will each grace the stage for a particular song.

Petersen is also “ecstatic” with her choice of song, but she doesn’t want to divulge what it will be. She will also be one of the Burger Pops guest presenters for Kyk-Net, which is something she says she has looked forward to her whole life.

“There will be a big band on stage with a running theme of ‘Swing’. The scale of the show will be a few notches up from what we’re used to,” Anders continues.

For someone who has been performing in front of audiences her whole life, it is somewhat surprising to hear that Anders still gets butterflies before she goes on stage.

READY TO ENTERTAIN: Jawaahier Petersen and Madeegha Anders will be the only family act at Die Burger Pops.

Photo: Andre Bakkes “I feel sick,” she smiles. “I get so nervous I can’t eat! But all this just adds to the performance. I think you actually need the butterflies to deliver a great show.”

Joining them on stage will be André Schwartz, Sarah Theron, Lize Beekman, Nedine Blom, Johnny Davids, Zanne Stapelberg, Gugulethu Tenors, Elle Amor, Rocco de Villiers, Hilandi du Toit and Chad Saaiman – to name but a few. The proceeds will be funnelled into community empowerment; much of the money raised will help three charity organisations – the ACVV, Badisa and Mfesane – give youths a merry Christmas and a life filled with opportunities.

Die Burger Pops will hit the Artscape with a matinee at 14:00 and an evening show at 19:00. Tickets cost R80, R150 and R220 through from Computicket. A special family package for the matinee is also available.

THE countdown to the 11th annual Simon’s Town Penguin Festival is nearly at an end.

The two days of educational fun, food and family games, all for the benefit of the endangered African penguin, kick off at 10:00 on Saturday – African Penguin Awareness Day – with the beach release of a group of penguins, rehabilitated by Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB), back into the wild.

“The public is encouraged to come down to Seaforth Beach, Simon’s Town, to witness this moving event,” the organisers say.

Children and adults can also meet SANCCOB’s ambassador penguin and “find out more about these charismatic creatures” during African Penguin Awareness Day, which is celebrated across the globe. This year SANCCOB has created a lesson plan to commemorate the big day. It’s available to all teachers, groups, zoos and aquariums; email carole@sanccob.co.za or call (021) 557-6155 to get one. The festival itself promises a range of entertainment for the whole fami-

JONATHAN BUTLER reJonathan turns to South Africa in Butler November for two exclusive performances only in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

It’s been almost six years since Butler last performed in Johannesburg; although he was in Cape Town in 2010 for the Cape Town Jazz Festival, and in 2008 for the Jonathan Butler and Friends Tour, “this show will be up close and personal”, organisers say.

His show at the GrandWest Grand Arena on 4 November will feature Butler “in a

unique setting, providing intimate behind-the-music stories about his hit songs”; he’ll also perform a number “all the songs you’ve grown to love”, the organisers promise. “The audience will be treated to a special evening, during which Jonathan will tell stories about his music, writing experiences and memories growing up in South Africa and eventually settling in Los Angeles.”

Tickets are available at Computicket from R155 to R275. There is also a limited number of VIP hospitality tickets at R750.

Young mothers find loving support YOUNG MOM SUPPORT, an organisation dedicated to providing a safe and encouraging social environment for young moms in the Far South, is now holding meetings at the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation Youth Centre in Masiphumelele.

The support meetings form part of the youth centre’s mission to join forces with other organisations and individuals to develop activities and programmes that support, educate and inspire adolescents.

Staff say more and more youths are paying a visit to the centre’s Adolescent Clinic to find out more about family planning and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, as well as get HIV testing, sexual health advice and help with general medical complaints.

Young Mom Support extends its

thanks to the community members who helped the organisation develop with their generous donations.

“We are privileged to be associated with the Parent Centre, which provided us with leadership and parenting skills training, as well as guest speakers for our meetings,” says Tracy Engelbrecht, who initiated the support group.

Now, Young Mom Support extends an invitation to all teen moms and pregnant teens to join its next meeting on Saturday 15 October from 10:30 at the youth centre in Guinea Fowl Road, Masiphumelele (across the road from Masiphumelele High School).

For more information call Tracy on 072 986 3105 or email her at info@youngmomsupport.co.za. Visit youngmomsupport.co.za.

A SAFE PLACE: Tracy Engelbrecht is seen with the rest of the Young Mom Support group.

Softball season set to sizzle LYNN PRINS

SOFTBALLERS are set to spend another summer of hot days on the playing field when season kicks off this weekend.

Grass burns will be nursed and pressure will mount as everyone aims to be the victorious team. Last season, Mitchell’s Plain’s Super League team Westridge Yankees took their game to another level when they were crowned knockout and league winners – and the pressure is on again, as Yankees will have to work twice as hard to keep their titles from their tough competitors.

A lot of interesting moves have been made by coaches and players, and spectators can only look forward to an exciting and entertaining season. With the likes of Steven Rodkin (former Yankee) now head coach of Glenthorn A’s, Tanya Price head coach of Falcons, Bronwyn van Heerden with Old Mutual Cubs, and Nazeem Dulvie, senior SA coach, making his appearance

again with the Yankees, the season is sure to be a challenging one. A further shakeup came when Falcons merged with Norman Henshilwood High School in Constantia.

Rodkin says both he and his team are very excited for the season.

“Last season Glenthorn A’s came so close to winning the league, so our goal will be to win the league this season. However, winning the league is a long term goal, and we have lots of small goals to achieve.”

Rodkin adds that preparation has been difficult, since three of his players are in the SA under-19 team.

St Martin’s, who were finalists with Yankees in the knockout last season, came blisteringly close to ending up fourth on the log for the league, but Old Mutual Cubs nabbed the position. This season, St Martin’s will be coached by Jillian Alexander, who coached Glenthorn A’s to second place last season.

Van Heerden, who joined up with OMC Cubs, says: “My feelings towards the season are positive – I do believe the season will be challeng-

ing, as there have been many changes within the clubs and the level is evenly spread, so I am looking forward to some good, competitive games.

“The OMC Cubs have been working hard, and there is a great mixture of youth and experience. They are committed to improving their personal game, and uplifting the standard of play within their club.”

Price, meanwhile, says her team is ready to take on the season and secure the title. “We have goals for the club this season, and not just the team. We have youngsters we want to develop and expose to better coaching and more opportunities.

“The season will definitely be a competitive one,” she echoes.

Yankees coach Dulvie feels similarly: “This season will be a tough one, especially with new team dynamics, and we’re looking forward to an exciting, challenging, and competitive season, since there are new moves everywhere.

“Our team is definitely ready, waiting in anticipation.”

CLOSE CALL: Lara Erasmus makes a desperate attempt to slide in safe to home plate, where Sammy Jones of Falcons awaits to tag.

New players to Yankees’ ranks are Kaylynn Stoffels (from St Martins), Kim Nicholson (former SA player from Falcons, who ostensibly retired a season ago), Aimee Campbell (Glenthorn A’s) and Candice Stephens (formerly of Old Mutual Cubs, and recently returned

from Canada, where she played for Calgary Kaizen). Juliana Forero Becerra from Colombia will make her return to Yankees.

Tanta Sports’ Carly Mulder, meanwhile, will now play for Glenthorn A’s.

Vito fires his way into the record books

A SIMPLE South African pastime got a braai-hard local into the record books and nabbed him the accolade of the longest braai when he tamed hot coals for 32 hours straight on Heritage Day. Vito Polera, a representative of Fruit and Veg City, fired his way into history when he beat previous record holder Jan Braai’s 28and-a-half hour stint by almost four hours at the Food Lover’s Market in Willowbridge.

The record setting attempt was a Fruit and Veg City initiative.

Says Polera: “It was not as hard as I thought it would be, because the weather was good, and many locals popped in to spur me on.”

He adds that the victory is more special as it was done on Heritage Day. “There’s nothing like a good braai to show how much we have in common as South Africans.”

Brian Coppin, CEO and co-founder of Fruit and Veg City, says the idea was for Fruit and Veg City to show support for the one day in the year when our common heritage as South Africans is celebrated around a piece of meat on coals. “Breaking the record set by Jan Braai is about keeping the record in South Africa – there have been many contenders for the title since last year, but Fruit

World Cup watch – and yet more rules LYNN PRINS

THE road to the quarterfinals for England nearly ended on Saturday.

Scotland nearly dominated the team, but Chris Ashton’s 78thminute try left the Scots with a disappointing 16-12 defeat; their only hope to remain in the tournament rode on a loss by Argentina, but this proved in vain.

SA also had a shaky match when they played the Samoans in a fiercely physical clash that sent Frans Steyn, who had been an outstanding replacement inside centre, home with an injury. SA still managed to win their Friday match 13-5 through good defensive play.

On Saturday, another major up-

set was seen when Tonga beat France 19-14, and Australia beat Russia 68-22. On Sunday, meanwhile, Argentina crushed Scotland’s dreams when they beat Georgia 25-7, with host team New Zealand destroying the Canadians 79-15 and Ireland grabbing a 36-6 win from the Italians. This Saturday, the first quarterfinal match will be played by Ireland and Wales at 07:00 in Wellington; at 09:30, England takes on France in Auckland. South Africa now faces Australia in the quarterfinal on Sunday at 07:00 in Wellington, and New Zealand will play Argentina at 09:30 in Auckland. SA wasn’t the only team to suffer a casualty during the ferocious games; New Zealand supporters al-

so lost fly half Dan Carter to an injury – he’ll be out for the rest of the tournament. Looking back at last week, People’s Post explained the rules around penalty kicks, free kicks and the 22m dropout. This week, People’s Post will focus on the rugby mark and hand-offs.

Rugby mark This rule is used infrequently – when isolated – to get out of trouble.

It’s normally the fullback or winger who catches a ball on the fly, but it could be any player who grabs it after it’s been kicked ahead by the opposition and has not yet touched the ground. If the player about to catch the ball is about to be tackled by opposition players – and is in his team’s own 22m or in-goal area – he

and Veg City is the first challenger to bring out an adjudicator from Guinness World Records to ensure it’s appropriately verified and official.” In the time it took to set the record – from Friday 23 September at 09:00 to Saturday 24 September at 17:17 – Vito braaied 74kg of meat, enough to feed 1 300 people through Fruit and Veg City’s corporate social responsibility partner, Foodbank.

Through Foodbank, Fruit and Veg City was able to feed 1 300 individuals in need of hot meals on Heritage Day. The Food Lover’s Market sold boerewors rolls and Pepsi for R10 – and the proceeds will go to five primary schools in the area.

During his record-breaker, Polera only took two rest breaks, totalling just 17 minutes, in 32 hours.

And this Guinness World Record-setting attempt was not without strict regulations. Guinness World Record adjudicator Tarika Vara flew in from the UK to ensure the strict criteria were met.

To meet the specified rules, Polera needed to have five types of meat cooking at all times, and was not allowed any assistance, bar moral support from the many onlookers. can call “MARK!” if he makes a clean catch (it’s still okay if the ball has touched any part of the goal posts). After being taken down, play will resume on the “marked” spot, with the catcher’s team in possession.

Hand-offs The stiff-arm fend, known as a hand-off, is a tactic employed by the ball-carrier. Ball-carriers run towards defenders, who are attempting to tackle them. By positioning the ball securely in one arm, the ball-carrier can fully extend his other arm, palm-out, locking his elbow.

The ball-carrier uses this hand to shove his opponents away at the chest or shoulder. The fend is a push, not a strike.

A stiff-arm fend may cause the tackler to fall to the ground, taking him out of the play.

BRAAI ON: Vito Polera in action.

Two cameras were required to capture every single minute of the braai, while time keepers and auditors from Deloitte were on hand to audit every moment of the braai.

Polera reckons his favourite meat for the braai is “good old Karoo lamb chops”, and that there’s nothing better than a braai with friends.

“My favourite place to braai is in my braai kamer. South Africa’s idea of having a braai room is indicative of our passion for braai – we’ve devised a way to ensure that we can braai regardless of the weather, for any occasion!”

Softballers hit the pitch swinging LYNN PRINS

A

WEEKEND training camp in Cape Town showed just how fearless the under-19 softball women are.

The squad of 20 are definitely not afraid of swinging a bat facing decent fast pitching, or throwing a ball from the outfield to nail a runner; as the saying goes, “Dynamite comes in small packages.”

Getting ready for the upcoming Junior Women’s World Championship (JWWC), the girls took on Falcons super league team in a warm-up match on Saturday, and played double matches against Westridge Yankees on Sunday, showing dynamic character toward both teams.

However, Lester Smith, coach of the SA under-19s, feels that there is still a lot of preparation ahead. “This weekend was our first match situations, and I am not entirely satisfied with the girls’ performances – there still needs to be a lot of hard work before we can actually be ready to take on the world championship.”

The women train on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and hit the gym on Tuesdays at the Sports Science Institute.

Leading up to the JWWC, People’s Post aims to profile a couple of players every week to introduce them to the public.

• First up is Western Province player Kathryn van Boom (17). This Grade 11 student at Bergvliet High School plays as catcher for Tanta Sport. Her hobbies include reading and, of course, playing sport; she enjoys the music of The Arrows, James Morrison, and Alicia Keys, with her favourite actor being Ben Stiller. The burgeoning sportswoman – whose favourite foods are lasagne and steak – has some serious life goals: She wants to study at UCT’s Health Science Faculty, and to continue representing her country in softball. Her motivational quote is, “Never be satisfied with what you achieve, because it all pales in comparison with what you are capable of doing in the future.”

• KwaZulu-Natal’s Julia Meaker, also aged 17, plays for Ashleys and takes up outfield and catcher positions.

Currently in Grade 11 at Durban Girls’ High School, her hobbies include mountain biking, touch rugby and hockey. She enjoys a variety of old and new music, and her favourite actor is Ryan Reynolds.

Her power foods are pasta and pizza, and her life goal is “to be the best me I can be”. She’s driven by two motivational quotes: “The harder you fall, the higher you bounce,” and, “Adversity can either break you or make you break records.”
