DISAPPOINTED: BUT SENIORS WILL RECEIVE GIFT PACKS
Christmas lunch cancelled RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
T
he annual Christmas lunch for seniors which is hosted by councillors in their respective wards, an event many pensioners look forward to throughout the year, will not be taking place this year. This is due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. The events are usually held in local community halls. Jackie Visser, councillor for ward 10 which includes Klipkop, Parow East, Avondale and Beaconvale, told TygerBurger it is
sad but that she is looking forward to hosting next year’s event. “I am very much aware of the disappointment for the seniors. They are looking forward to this yearly event, but unfortunately it is for their own good health that we have to cancel the events. “We plan to make small gift packs to hand out to seniors in the new year. “We also hope we can continue with these events in the future, but at this stage, as said, we must respect the Covid-19 regulations and the disaster management act,” Visser says.
Leonore van der Walt, councillor for ward 2 which includes Fairfield Estate, Glenlily, Parow North, Churchill Estate and Oosterzee, says in terms of level 1 of the disaster management act regulations there are still restrictions on the number of people attending a gathering, and the social distance that needs to be observed. “If a social event is not taking place as a result, it is to the benefit of those who would have attended. “The size of a hall available for social gatherings determines the number of people who may attend a function. It would be irres-
ponsible to have a party in this current pandemic, more so for seniors, as they are deemed high-risk,” Van der Walt says. Helen Carstens, councillor for ward 5 which includes Bothasig and Edgemead, said Covid-19 has indeed had an effect on life as we know it after she too had to cancel their lunch. “I would have had an end of year function for the seniors in my ward as I do every year. As we fell deeper and deeper into this lockdown, I have needed to make alternative arrangements. V To page 2

City ready for Covid resurgence T
he Western Cape health department has confirmed that the Cape metropole is experiencing a resurgence in Covid-19 cases. According to a statement released by the City of Cape Town, based on the experiences of other countries around the world, the confirmation should sound a warning to us all that the growing complacency in recent months needs to be cast aside with urgency. “It is imperative that Cape Town pulls together to ensure that the resurgence in caseload and related hospitalisations are curbed, and quickly too. “The City’s health department remains equipped to assist with Covid-19 screening,

testing and referrals, but also contact tracing in conjunction with other health agencies. “The majority of our 34 overflow facilities, opened earlier this year to increase capacity at clinics in light of the pandemic, remain active, as are the mobile testing booths that were set up at a number of clinics,” the statement reads. As indicated, there is growing community transmission across the metropole, with certain suburbs showing higher active caseloads, based on the available data. These suburbs include Bellville, Claremont, Delft, Dunoon, Grassy Park, Gugulethu, Hanover Park, Kuils River, Lentegeur, Lotus River, Macassar, Milnerton,
Nyanga, Ottery, Parklands, Parow, Pinelands, Rocklands, Rondebosch, Sea Point, Somerset West, Strand, Tafelsig and Wynberg. However, the City says the public should continue adhering to the Covid-19 health and safety protocols that were so diligently observed during the peak of the pandemic earlier this year. “Unlike the peak, when the country was still in a hard lockdown, there is far more mobility under the current alert level, which means the risk of transmission is greater, and not limited to the suburbs that are experiencing a surge in caseload,” the City says. Apart from regular hand washing and sa-
nitising, residents are advised to keep wearing their masks when in public and to wear them properly – covering both their mouth and nose. “Gatherings are best avoided, and if you must attend a gathering, we advise that you keep it short, and ensure that the room or area is well ventilated.” The City’s environmental health service will continue to monitor shopping malls and retailers to ensure compliance, in the interest of public safety. The public is also advised to report any non-compliance to the City’s public emergency communication centre on 021 480 7700 from a cellphone or 107 from a landline.
Stadskoor is hoopvol vir 2021 Presies ’n jaar gelede het die Stadskoor Tygerberg uitgesien na ’n besige en opwindende 2020-koorjaar. Hoogtepunte sou onder meer “Last night at the Proms” saam met verskeie ander kore en die Kaapse Simfonieorkes met Richard Cock, ’n piekniekkonsert by die Kasteel de Goede Hoop en ’n galakonsert insluit. “Niemand kon voorsien dat ’n virus ’n streep sou kom trek deur só baie planne en idees nie,” sê Hester Heunis, ’n woordvoerder van die koor. “In hierdie stadium is daar nog groot onsekerheid wat 2021 sal bring, maar daar is besluit om proaktief te wees en solank be-
planning te doen vir moontlike optredes in die nuwe jaar,” sê sy. In die eerste helfte van die jaar is daar Paasoptredes, konserte by aftreeoorde en ’n moontlike piekniekkonsert by die Kasteel op die program. Voorlopig sal die koorlede op Donderdag, 14 Januarie vir die eerste keer weer bymekaar kom. Omdat koorlede in Maart laas saam gesing en gekuier het, sal die geleentheid die vorm van ’n piekniek of sing-a-long aanneem net om mekaar weer te vind en die stemme weer aan die gang te kry. Daar word ’n oefennaweek vir Vrydag 12 Februarie en Saterdag 13 Februarie beplan.
Al hierdie geleenthede sal geskied met inagneming van al die Covid-19-regulasies en -protokols. “Dit sal vir die koor ’n groot voorreg wees om weer, sodra toelaatbaar, deur ons sang en musiek vreugde en vermaak aan ons ondersteuners te bring.” Die koor wil graag sy getalle uitbrei, spesifiek die mansstemme. “Ons koorleier, Peter Roux, sal gedurende Desember met oudisies begin. Dit sal voorlopig geskied met ’n selfoon-stemopname,” sê sy. Belangstellendes tussen 18 en 55 jaar kan hul besonderhede stuur na stadskoor@gmail.com.

“At present I am working on an event for the seniors in February, when hopefully we will be in a better position, however this too will be subject to the Covid-19 situation. “The fact that it is the seniors who are of the vulnerable group makes it imperative that we observe the need to keep them safe and not put them in any danger,” says Carstens. Carstens says within the next few weeks she will be reaching out to a very few senior residents on an individual basis with some festive cheer. “I must remind one and all that this is a very challenging time as we have just been alerted to a high resurgence of Covid-19 and that we must take all protocols seriously, and most importantly we should stay at home and wear a mask outside, avoid groups and keep a social distance. The washing of hands is paramount. “Needless to say I would like to wish all the residents a safe and happy time over this festive period that will no doubt be different to the times we have spent previously,” Carstens says.

Street children fall through the cracks DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
W
ith impossibly high caseloads and a shortage of social workers, the holistic well-being and development of street children are being hindered. Thus, hundreds of vulnerable children fall through the cracks, never getting the help they so desperately need. To this end the Western Cape Street Children’s Forum (WCSCF) in collaboration with the Western Cape Child Protection Collaborative (CPC) – in response to the Draft Amendment Bill of the Children’s Act – put forward a submission to parliament last week to have discussions about critical systemic issues. The Collaborative requested to
appear before the parliamentary committee in person. It was formed in 2017 is made up of several entities, which has a wide network in the northern suburbs of Cape Town. “It is a civil society child protection movement made up of practitioners and professionals with the aim to lobby government agencies for efficacy in child protection,” explains Janice King, director of WCSCF. “We want more clarity on the term, ‘wellbeing and development’, used in the Bill. We feel it should read holistic development, otherwise it could be interpreted as just one aspect of development,” she says. “And, with reference to funding of facilities, do we have transparency on how funds are prioritised and allocated? If so, where do we access this, how and when? When do
these discussions and processes take place? And how can the community or those working in the sector be consulted? “Also, municipal processes pertaining to early childhood development centres are not clear enough. There are many unregistered, unmonitored community-based organisations that provide care and protection services to children. They often do not know that they must apply for registration or even that norms and standards exist. When these organisations are brought to the attention of the provincial social development department, they only want to register the organisations if they are able to fund them. This means that many organisations remain unregistered and unmonitored.” Moreover, there are an inadequate num-
ber of funded posts for social workers in the childcare and protection system, hence the backlog and caseloads. “The Children’s Act says that a designated social worker should have a maximum of 60 clients, but most that we come across in the city have 200-300 cases, not taking siblings into account. With excessively high caseloads, social workers are expected to do a job that is actually impossible and therefore terribly unpleasant. “It results in a high turnover of social workers as they are themselves abused by ‘the system’, and vulnerable children not receiving the service they desperately need.” The closing date for public comments was Friday 29 November, after which parliamentary processes begin.

DANKIE VIR DIE ONDERSTEUNING VAN DIE STAD SE ELEKTRISITEITSDIENSTE-SPANNE Dankie aan ons klante vir hul geduld terwyl ons die diensaanbod tydens die COVID-19inperking moes beperk. Sedert Junie het ons aandag gegee aan meer as 150 000 diensversoeke. Selfs gedurende die spitstyd van die COVID-19-inperking het ons daarin geslaag om meer as 90 000 versoeke op te los. Weens die COVID-19-veiligheidsmaatreëls kon ons nie aan sekere versoeke aandag gee nie, soos individuele straatligonderbrekings. Ons het sedertdien ’n volledige diensaanbod hervat. Daar is groot hoeveelhede COVID-19-agterstandversoeke, spesifiek oor die herstel van straatligte. Ons is besig om hierdie so vinnig as moontlik te hanteer. Diensversoeke en afhandelingstye kan ook beïnvloed word deur enige skielike COVID-19verwante sluiting van depots. Weereens baie dankie en wees asseblief veilig.

eon Meyer en Coenie de Villiers se gewilde Karoo Suite-produksies word beskryf as die “mooiste liefdesbrief aan die Karoo”. Karoo Suite en Karoo Suite 2: Karoonagte is op Donderdag 10, Saterdag 12 en Sondag 13 Desember by die inryteater van die Atlantic Studios, die tuiste van die kykNETsepie Suidooster, te sien. Albei produksies word elke aand ten bate van die Suidoosterfees en die Jakes Gerwel Stigting se liriekskryf-mentorskapprogram aangebied. Dis ’n “double feature” soos in die inryteaters van ouds – kompleet met ’n pouse vir burgers en melkskommels. Meyer vertel die stories op die verhoog, terwyl De Villiers saam met ’n orkes vir musikale begeleiding sorg. Die aanbieding word aangevul met foto’s en videomateriaal van die Karoolandskap deur die National Geographic-span, Nasa, Deon Meyer, asook animasiewerk deur Diek Grobler. Meyer en De Villiers se talente sorg vir ’n gedugte kombinasie. Karoo Suite het gehore by verskeie feeste en teaters in vervoering gehad, en het daarna landswyd uitverkoop. Die produksies bestaan uit verskeie bewegings waarin die landskap van die Karoo, sy mense en hul vreugdes en pyn op hartroerende wyse verken word. Die musikale span sluit

Quiet Black Friday at stores this year RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
B
lack Friday has always been a day on which hundreds of shoppers rush to the stores for a quick bargain or a special. This year however stores were slightly more quiet than previous years – this is partly due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. Nikki van Niekerk, property manager at Richmond Corner, told TygerBurger they experienced a peaceful morning. “It is quiet at the moment, we hope it picks up today,” she said early on Friday. The shopping centre opened its doors in July this year. “What we found is that stores had specials throughout the month and that there are limited specials,” Van Niekerk added. Esley du Plessis, marketing manager at the Parow Centre, said however their centre noticed a good number of shoppers coming through the doors. “We are quite happy with the turnout of customers shopping at the mall thus far, the stores are quite busy.
Police pay tribute to victims Tribute was paid recently to victims of gender based violence and those who have passed away as a result of the corona virus. A flag was also hung halfmast last week at the Bothasig police station where the tribute ceremony was held. The event took place on Wednesday 25 November. WO Jacques Mostert, police spokesperson, says the tribute ceremony was on request of the state president, Cyril Ramaphosa. “The event, in the form of a parade, was also the start of the police’s 16 Days of Activism Against Violence towards Women and Children Campaign,” says Mostert. It was attended by police members reporting for duty, as well as the chairperson of the Bothasig Community Policing Forum, Dave Morley. A short scripture reading and prayer was done by a member of the Bothasig Const Emile Saaiman, a member of the Bothasig police, church fraternity, pastor raised the national flag half-mast to honour victims of Kenneth Brooks, after gender based violence and those who have passed away which Capt Faried Hoosain due to the corona virus. of the police’s employee health and wellness services spoke to the The parade was started with the raising members regarding the impact of domes- and flying of the national flag at half-mast tic violence on families. by Const Emile Saaiman.
“It is however not excessively full and overcrowded as quite a few tenants have been running specials the whole week already,” Du Plessis says. At Canal Walk all necessary steps were taken on the day to ensure Covid-19 protocols were adhered to, says Vanessa Herbst, marketing manager. Herbst says Canal Walk had additional Covid-19 compliance officers on the ground to monitor that customers are following all Covid-19 regulations. “We have met with the major stores and have urged all our retailers to ensure that all Covid-19 measures are being adhered to in their stores. Tenants are responsible to make sure all Covid-19 regulations are being followed within their stores,” Herbst says. Retailers here also started much earlier with their Black Friday specials this year, says Herbst. “We have seen increased footfall and retail activity in the centre today (Friday). Footfall is strong with a steady flow. Everything is calm and customers are adhering to all Covid-19 regulations,” Herbst said on Friday.
Help fight gender-based violence The Bothasig police entered into a partnership with a non-government organisation (NGO) recently in their attempt to help fight abuse against women and children. The partnership with SA Women Fight Back (SAWFB) was cemented on Wednesday 25 November when the police and the NGO teamed up to promote their fight against gender based violence as part of the 16 days of activism. SAWFB provided an awareness banner which the partners have installed on the perimeter fence at the police station. “The idea is to make passing motorists

aware regarding the 16 Days of Activism Campaign and also to stand up against gender based violence,” says WO Jacques Mostert, police spokesperson. The partners have also challenged residents to visit the police station during the 16 Days of Activism Campaign to show their solidarity in the fight against gender based violence, and to tie purple ribbons to the fence next to the banner. “The purpose of tying the purple ribbons to the fence is in remembrance of all women who have died as a result of gender based violence,” says Mostert.

Cedar Spar in Bothasig teamed up once again this year to launch their annual Purple Roll Project. The project is the brainchild of WO Jacques Mostert, Bothasig police spokesperson, and store-owner, Henry Barnes. The idea behind the purple roll is to raise awareness regarding gender based violence as it starts conversations due to its purple colour, says Mostert. This year the launch was in the form of a sit-down breakfast for representatives of the police and SA Women Fight Back, a non-government organisation. The rolls are on sale on Fridays during the 16 Days of Activism Campaign.

LEWENSKIEKIE
‘Aaptwak’ nou wettig, maar ... Papegaaislaai, aaptwak, ganja, weed, noem dit wat jy wil, maar dis mos nou, party sal sê uiteindelik, wettig in SuidAfrika. Só wettig dat die een daggaklub ná die ander nou in die land geopen word. Want daar is blykbaar skuiwergate in die wet wat dit moontlik maak. Solank jy nie daarmee handel dryf nie, blyk dit, is almal gelukkig. Ek lees in die koerant dit werk só: Jy sluit by die klub aan en hulle kweek vir jou ’n plantjie op hul privaat perseel. Wanneer jy die behoefte voel, kan jy van jou eie plant op die perseel gaan nuttig. Hulle kan seker lekker muffins ook daarvan maak. Maar jy kan dit rook ook, of gemeng met alkoholvrye bier geniet. Ek hoor selfs gerespekteerde lede van die gereg, soos polisiebeamptes, het al by die klub aangesluit. Hulle kan, want ingevolge die wet word niks onwettigs gedoen nie. Die klub sê: “we consume cannabis for the same reasons people wear glasses – to improve your view of the world”. Helaas en uiteindelik, sal party mense ook sê, want die groen slaai is al lankal wettig in ander lande. Vat nou maar Nederland, waar mense lankal in Amsterdamse restaurante so ’n ou twakkie saam met hul koffie kan bestel. In San Francisco, Amerika, is ’n daggastoppie net ’n oproep ver. Dis ’n kwessie van bel en bestel, en dit word afgelewer. Presies vyftig jaar gelede het in skrille kontras hiermee die volgende beriggie in die koerant verskyn: “Nog ’n daggaplant het in ’n Paarlse tuin kop uitgesteek. Onderwyl werkers in die tuin gewerk het, het hulle op die verdagte plant, wat sowat 18 duim hoog was, afgekom. Hulle het die eienaar daarvan verwittig, wat dit uitgetrek en die polisie ontbied het. ’n Speurder het dit uitgeken as dagga en dit weggeneem. Daar word vermoed dat die saadjie in die tuin gewaai is.” Wel, wel, wel, hoe het dinge nie verander nie! Van die polisie wat jag maak op al wat daggaplant is, tot klubs waar selfs húlle so nou en dan uitslaan vir ’n rookdingetjie. Moet net nie die twakkies koop of verkoop nie, want dit bly onwettig. Intussen het die Daggaparty van Suid-Afrika ook tot stand gekom. Op sy webwerf word 14 redes verstrek waarom dagga goed is vir die mens. Dit bevat Omega 3, 6 en 9 in presies die regte verhouding vir hart- en geestesgesondheid. Die aktiewe bestanddeel THC is ook goeie medisyne teen onder meer pyn, naarheid, asma, depressie en alkoholisme. Boonop beveg dit kankerselle, word op die webwerf gesê. Destyds, toe ons op skool was, sou mense omtrent ’n oorval kry as hulle gehoor het so en so gebruik dagga. Die kruid is hand en tand beveg en dit was omtrent die skande van alle skandes as iemand papegaaislaai gebruik. Maar helaas, mense wat die plantjies tuis kweek moet ook maar ligloop vir die gereg, want as daar te veel is, kan maklik vermoed word dat iemand dit kweek vir verkoop. Nie te lank gelede nie is so vyf plantjies deur die polisie afgevat en is in die media groot gewag gemaak van die “daggaplantasie” wat hulle ontdek het. En dit alles beteken net een ding: Never say never. Wat vandag onwettig is, is dalk môre wettig. – Werner van Tonder
“Die kruid is hand en tand beveg en dit was omtrent die skande van alle skandes as iemand papegaaislaai gebruik.”
Respect for lost lives: Flags across the country flew at half mast as a tribute to lives lost as a result of Covid-19 and victims of genderbased violence in line with President Cyril Ramaphosa’s directive that the country observe a few days of mourning between Thursday 26 and Sunday 29 November. “Many South Africans have experienced the terrible loss of a loved one to one of these two pandemics and we send our condolences to all of those grieving at this time,” says Alan Winde, Western Cape premier.

Die lewe druk soms terug My kantoorfoon lui. “Kan jy gou na my kantoor toe kom?” vra die menslike hulpbronbestuurder. Haar sagte stem klink onseker. Dis vreemd. Gewoonlik kom sy na my as my departement enige aangeleenthede het wat my aandag vereis. Ek het amper altyd nie tyd om na enigeen te gaan nie. My departement vereis baie aandag en baie tyd. Dit is seker ’n topbestuur implementasie wat ’n groter kantoor as myne vereis waar meer mense moet sit dink ek. “Dis reg. Ek maak gou die e-pos waarmee ek besig is klaar, dan stap ek na jou”. Ek gaan my spelling en leestekens na en druk die stuurknoppie. Die helder blou lug en sonskyn is opvallend vandag, dink ek, terwyl ek na haar kantoor stap. Ek klop, word gesê om in te kom en maak so … “Hello jy,” hoor ek haar sê. “Dankie vir gister se eetgoed met jou verjaardag”. Haar oë lyk onseker, dink ek. Sy sien ek sien die omgedraaide pakkie A4-papiere op die tafel. Dit laat haar ongemaklik lyk. “Voor ek begin, wil ek hê jy moet weet ek stem nie hiermee saam nie ... maar ons moet poste sny. Covid het ons erg geknou. Jy is een van die ongelukkiges. Jy moet einde van die week gaan. Ek is so jammer.” Die res van die formaliteite is ’n gesuis in my ore … en ek hoor nie veel nie. Gelukkig ken ek dit, maar vandag is ek aan die ontvangkant. Oppad terug na my kantoor skyn die son nog net so helder, maar die wind het opgesteek. HARDWERKENDE GESINSMAN E-pos
Too easy to step on a racial toe I have no connection at all with the Brackenfell High School, any of its pupils or their parents, neither do I write on their behalf. That having been said, I do consider a reply to EV Rapiti’s letter (“Brackenfell violence, an issue for serious deliberation”)in TygerBurger of 25 November is necessary. The Constitution guarantees the right to protest, but, this right is to be exercised in a peaceful manner. Unfortunately that proviso appears to be forgotten by all the “protesters” and, as was the case when they “protested” at the Clicks shops, the EFF came to Brackenfell not to protest but to riot. The reason for their “protest” was a case of perceived racism, based on an unproved allegation, which was subsequently denied, which denial stands unchallenged and was accepted by the local MEC for education. Your correspondent, Rapiti, appears to agree with the EFF that the private party was a “racial gathering” because it was attended by white pupils only. The parents are criticised, as well as the teachers who attended and the MEC is suspected of possibly “pandering to the salivating appetite of her racist followers”. The Constitution also guarantees freedom of association. This means that I may invite to my private party whomever I wish. That is my right. The number of guests is irrelevant and when somebody is not invited he, she or it, has no cause for complaint. The fact that those not invited were classmates with the invited pupils, or were in the same rugby or hockey teams gives them no right to an invitation. When a host invites some people and chooses not to
invite others, there is no duty to provide reasons to the uninvited for their being not on the list of guests. Whether the parents did invite some pupils of colour to the party or not is equally irrelevant, except that, if they did, it proves that the party was not exclusively for white pupils only. If the person invited chooses not to come, for whatever reason, that cannot reflect negatively on the one extending the invitation. There could be many reasons, other than racial preference, why the party was attended by white pupils only or why only those white pupils were invited. It is irresponsible to jump to conclusions and shout “racist” on the mere fact that only white pupils attended a private party. I fear that on those grounds I, too, would be accused of racism because I did not, and never have, invited a single person of colour to my birthday party. I have also never accused the people of colour whom I have met and worked with, of being racist for failing to invite me to their weddings or birthday gatherings. Unfortunately race has become such a touchy subject that one can hardly move without stepping on a racial toe. Perhaps it is time that the hysteria stops and all people simply carry on with their lives and earn a living, which is hard enough in this time of Covid. WILLEM DE HAAN Welgemoed
Fisantekraal not neglected As local ward councillor of Fisantekraal, I would like to respond to certain claims by Mr Timothy Wildschut in last week’s TygerBurger (“Fisantekraal neglected”, 25 November).
He is absolutely right in stating that residents have a right to services such as streetlights, and water and sanitation. What he fails to state, is that residents do not have the right to break down infrastructure as soon as it is fixed. There is not an area in the whole of Durbanville that receives more attention, capital and operational city budget, than Fisantekraal. We have a responsibility to ratepayers to spend their money well. If you spend massive amounts of money on the same things over and over again, it is considered fruitless and wasteful expenditure, not maintenance. I know Mr Wildschut only wants the best for Fisantekraal, but one must be conscious about your message in achieving this. The focus should be on behavioural changes within the community, not falsely letting the community believe they are being treated unfairly. If you are serious in bringing about change, statements should be based on facts and root causes addressed. RUAN BENEKE Ward councillor: Ward 105
Munisipaliteit in D’ville is vyfster Ek het op 27 November my motorlisensie by die Durbanville-munisipaliteit hernu en was baie beïndruk met die higiëniese hantering van publiek by dié kantore. Na die bediening van elke kliënt word toonbanke skoongemaak en die toegang tot die toonbanke word streng beheer. Baie dankie aan álmal wat ook pensionarisse met soveel empatie behandel. H.

KILLARNEY: KARTING CHAMPIONS CROWNED
Chequered flag raised A
iden Beaumont, Reese Koorzen, Reza Levy, Kyle Visser, Tate Bishop, Sebastian Boyd and Conor Hughes were crowned as the champions as the smallest class in karting, the baby Bambinos, starred at the Western Cape Rotax Max finale at Killarney in Cape Town on Saturday 28 November. Aiden Beaumont and Kai van Rensburg shared out the Bambino wins as Beaumont clinched a super close championship from title rival Van Rensburg. The two delivered a delightful season long championship charge. Behind them Michael Danks drove home third for the day from Siyabonga Ntuli, Liam Wharton and Matthew Roach. Sebastiano Human did enough to hold on to the title third in seventh and end up ahead of Ntuli and Danks, who pipped Wharton to the title fifth. Keagan Beaumont and Jordon Wadeley shared out the u.11 Micro Max wins as Beaumont took the day. Joshua Smit fought Dale Hobbs off for third ahead of Eric Norman and Sabelo Ntuli. Reese Koorzen was however the biggest winner on the day despite not even racing. Karting requires drivers to drop their three worst scores of the season and with a second and two thirds to drop, not racing the final added those points to Koorzen’s tally to sew up the title from Smit and Wadeley. The class of the day was however u.13 Mini Max, where Reza Levy, Joshua Smit and Ethan Deacon shared out the wins.
Tate Bishop won the Senior Max title. Smit took the day from Levy and Deacon, with Jordon Wadeley, Jude Stuart and Eric Norman next up. Levy however did enough to ultimately clinch an easy championship ahead of Deacon and Smit. Ethan Stier beat Kyle and Andre le Riche, Matthew Wadeley and Reza Levy to high
school u.15 Junior Max honours on the day. Kyle Visser was another driver to opt out of racing on the day to clinch his championship from Andre and Kyle le Riche and Wadeley. Tate Bishop knew what he had to do to add the 2020 WP Senior Max championship to his SA national title and he did just that. Bishop
stormed to three wins in three races. He left the returning Kohen Bam to fight it out with Jason Coetzee for second. Jade Lanfear did enough to keep Andrew Rackstraw, who had a troubled first race, behind in fourth. Jade’s dad Guy ended sixth as Bishop and Coetzee topped the title chase ahead of the absent Charl Visser. Sebastian Boyd missed the weekend as he nullified his drop points to add the Cape title to his national championship, leaving Jason Coetzee to have DD2 to himself. Behind him Conor Hughes delivered a trio of Masters wins over Jared Jordan and Andrew Thomas each time as Andre Steenkamp and Robert Peche fought over the crumbs. In so doing, Hughes clinched the 2020 DD2 Masters title from Jason Greyling, Jordan and Thomas. That wraps up the 2020 WP karting year, which conspired to deliver a fine season in spite of the rigours of lockdown. All that remains is the matter of the “Olympics of Karting” Rotax Max Grand Finals at the end of January. Cape drivers Sebastian Boyd, Tate Bishop and Keagan Beaumont will be among the Rotax Max drivers to represent South Africa in the Portimao, Portugal event. Then it all starts all over again with the first WP regional round, by when with a little luck, spectators will once again be able to enjoy the action from Killarney’s Kart Track stalls.
D’ville gaan weer stem dik maak
Sintetiese rugbyveld ingewy
SAREL BURGER
SAREL BURGER
Wanneer klubkrieket vroeg in Januarie weer eindelik op dreef kom, sal Durbanville weer een van die spanne wees om goed stem dik te maak. In ’n vriendskaplike wedstryd die afgelope Saterdag teen die sterk span van Rondebosch het die Durbies (144/4) met ses paaltjies geseëvier. Met Bradley Petersen (3/25) en Tashwin Lukas (2/11) aan die voorpunt van Durbanville se boulaan-
val is Rondebosch vroegdag tot slegs 1 543 lopies beperk. Daarna het Jean Strydom (57*) en Bradley Barnes (51) met onder meer ’n derdepaaltjie-vennootskap van 66 lopies die knoop deurgehak. Daar is terloops nog geen uitsluitsel oor wie van Durbanville en Rondebosch die WP se Premierliga-klubkampioen vir die vorige seisoen was nie. Die Durbies het ’n kortkop voor die Kaapse span op die punteleer geëindig, maar Rondebosch het beswaar gemaak oor die oorwinning
wat Durbanville in ’n ander wedstryd behaal het. Dit rede vir die beswaar was omdat die Tygerbergers van ’n ongeregistreerde speler in daardie wedstryd gebruik sou gemaak het. Die aangeleentheid is in Maart, na afloop van die vorige krieketseisoen, na die bestuur van Krieket Suid-Afrika verwys, maar as gevolg van die chaos vanjaar by KSA se hoofkantoor het die tugkomitee van KSA hom nog nie verwerdig om oor die WP-kwessie te besin en ’n oplossing te vind nie.
Wanneer skolerugbyspanne voortaan by die Curro-skool in Durbanville gaan besoek aflê, sal hulle in die Kaapse winterweer nie meer met modderbaddens en triestige toestande te doen kry nie. Die eerste volgrootte sintetiese rugbyveld in Suid-Afrika is verlede Dinsdag by dié skool ingewy. Op Stellenbosch is daar wel ook ’n soortgelyke kunsma-
tige rugbyveld, maar dit is net ’n kwart van die voorgeskrewe grootte. Daarby voldoen Curro se Brits-ontwerpte “turftech”-veld, wat ’n hele paar miljoen rand gekos het, aan wêreldstandaarde. ’n Uitstekende spreiligstelsel sal binnekort ook aangebring word om wedstryde in die aand moontlik te maak. Mettertyd sal ’n spesiaal ontwerpte krieketmat in die middel van die rugbyveld aangebring word.
