‘Boks’ deliver food parcels
Teken in by www.netwerk24.com.
Kraaifontein residents were surprised when Springbok players handed out food parcels to them as part of Be The Difference Foundation’s nutritional programme. Damian Willemse, Branco du Preez, Cheslin Kolbe and Justin Geduld were just some of the players who joined the foundation since the initiative started running daily seven weeks ago. The nutritional programme is one of the foundation’s programmes that run weekly, but now runs daily to bring relief to residents during the nationwide lockdown. The foundation hands out about 236 food parcels weekly in Bloekombos and Wallacedene among other locations. Here, Stormers player Scarra Ntubeni hands out food to a Kraaifontein resident.
CENTRAL LINES ‘TO BE TURNED OFF’: LIVE WIRES A DANGER
Cable theft is ongoing TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS
hours of the morning or at night. In addition illegal electrical connections, ingress onto the rail reserve, disposal of sewerage onto tracks by informal settlements along portions of the route, sporadic gang turf wars and frequent service delivery protests make it impossible to restore services without major intervention. “The continuous and incessant theft of Prasa overhead infrastructure has contributed to the closure of the two central lines in November last year. The fencing and walling is part of the Central Recovery Programme,” says Scott. The railway service acknowledge that despite regular patrols and arrests with regards to metal theft in terms of the Criminal Matters Amendment Act, the incidents are

etrorail has identified Bontheuwel, Netreg and Nyanga train stations as hotspots for cable theft. Although there has not been a major increase in the number of cases which currently stand at four since January this year, the railway company says the above mentioned areas are “prone to crime and recurring vandalism which lead to total destruction of rail infrastructure required to operate trains safely.” According to Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott, these incidents happen sporadically. “There is no set time for cable theft incidents as it happens during the day, early

likely to continue during times of economic hardship and until Prasa has erected the required and appropriate fencing and walling in high priority areas such as these, says Scott. “The public is advised to please consider the entire rail network electrified 24/7. Despite the central service being suspended all the infrastructure remains live. Communities adjacent to railway lines are advised to be particularly vigilant. Traction energy is significantly more potent than domestic energy and tampering with it can lead to severe injury or death,” says Scott. Ward 50 councillor and chair for the City of Cape Town’s transport portfolio committee, Angus McKenzie, says it has become increasingly clear that while Prasa has shut down the Cape Flats line, the electricity cur-
rent continues to run through it. “Even though countless individuals have died on this line stealing cable and attempting to steal cables it has acted as little or no deterrent at all from other individuals to attempt the same. While this criminal activity cannot be condoned or accepted, Prasa has a role to play to secure this line whether it is working or not. I am appealing to Prasa to act very swiftly in securing this line or to turn it off completely. The line is in a huge state of disrepair with the breaking down of poles having commenced. Prasa Western Cape must immediately inform what they intend doing to further avoid the breaking down of the line and loss of life. If there was no opportunity to steal, thieves won’t steal,” says McKenzie.

WRX 2020: NO TIME TO SHIP CARS TO SA
Killarney scrapped from calendar O
rganisers of the South African leg of the FIA World Rallycross Championship (WRX) have announced its cancellation for this year. Previous events were held at Killarney International Raceway and has served as the finale on the WRX calendar since 2017, with the world title being decided at last year’s event when Sweden’s Timmy Hansen was crowned the champion, narrowly edging out Norway’s Andreas Bakkerud. The provisionally updated 2020 WRX calendar was released by series promoter IMG last week. It will kick off at Holjes in Sweden on the weekend of 20 to 23 September and includes nine rounds, all but two of them in Europe. The exceptions are Rounds 7 and 8, which will be run in one intense weekend at the end of October at Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi, followed by this season’s finale at the Nürburgring from 11 to 13 December. IMG has emphasised, however, that the omission of Cape Town on the calendar is no reflection on the high quality of the WRX events run at Kil-
larney in previous years, but only because there will be no time during the short season of only 21 weeks to ship the cars to South Africa and back again. They emphasised that World Rallycross of South Africa 2020 has not been cancelled but instead postponed to the 2021 season. The events agreed upon in the twoyear extension announced last year between IMG, local organiser Worldsport South Africa and the City of Cape Town will thus take place in 2021 and 2022. Event secretary Lizelle van Rensburg has pointed out that this is probably for the best, since there is no indication as to when the restrictions on sports activities in South Africa will be lifted. Van Rensburg thanked everyone who volunteered to officiate at previous World Rallycross of South Africa events and indicated their willingness to be a part of World Rallycross at Killarney in 2020. “We will just have to keep our excitement at bay until 2021,” she said.
