and Rossouw and his partner Christiaan Pretorius were aiming to participate in aid of Alta du Toit aftercare in Bellville. Rossouw, who works in Goodwood and comes from Brackenfell, says he estimates he and Barnard spent around R150 000 on this year’s race, including among other things training and bicycles. His family has also been impacted by his strict training schedule, which has all now been nullified.

Travel The South African National Taxi Council told News24 on Monday its members will continue to operate as usual as their business is critical and many would go hungry if cancelled. Transport minister Fikile Mbalula says random screening will be conducted at train stations and taxi ranks.

rovincial minister of health, Nomafrench Mbombo, visited Tygerberg Hospital last week to outline the province’s plan of action amid the Covid-19 virus outbreak.

Mbombo was accompanied by medical experts, as well as the premier, Alan Winde. During the visit a walkthrough was conducted of the two isolation wards at the state facility.

Nationally there were 62 confirmed cases of Covid-19 by Tuesday. The Western Cape had 16 confirmed cases of Covid-19, commonly referred to as the coronavirus. The department said in a statement the last six patients are all men with varying ages.

“These six new cases all presented to private facilities with flu-like symptoms, and recent international travel history to

various countries,” Mark van den Heever, spokesperson for the department, says. All 16 cases are being monitored.

Residents that suspect they may have the virus are advised to immediately seek medical help. Explain your symptoms and where you have travelled to, or with whom you had contact. It is important that you call ahead before visiting a health facility, the department say.

Symptoms include a cough, fever and sore throat.

It is advisable for you to stay at home and self-isolate if you display these symptoms, the department advises.

From time to time international visitors mostly from Germany and England also come and visit the club. The club has a meeting, bingo morning and an outing once a month, but due to the coronavirus that is most dangerous to older people, the club will cancel all activities.

Dit was soos iets uit ’n Hollywood-fliek.

Só beskryf ’n ooggetuie die voorval verlede week toe gewapende rowers by die negosiewinkel by die Caltex in Nooiensfonteinweg in Silversands toegeslaan het.

Die ooggetuie, wat anoniem wil bly, sê hy en sy pa het by die vulstasie stilgehou om diesel in sy voertuig te gooi.

“Eers toe ons stilhou, het ons besef dit was beurtkrag, maar ’n kragopwekker was aan.

“Terwyl ek by die vulstasie my beurt afgewag het om bedien te word, het ’n man angsbevange uit die winkel gehardloop.

“Aangesien ek dié goed verstaan, het dit my bygeval dat daar binne die winkeltjie ’n rooftog aan die gang was.

“My motor se neus was regoor die winkel se deur en ek kon alles sien wat aangaan. “ ’n Ou het met ’n vuurwapen in die hand

oor die toonbank gespring en kort daarna weer terug.

“Hy het toe doodluiters met twee sakke vol geld by die winkel uitgestap, gevolg deur drie makkers wat ander goedere in hul hande gehad het. Dit het regtig soos iets uit ’n Hollywood-fliek gelyk,” sê die ooggetuie.

Volgens hom kon hy nie duidelik uitmaak wat die rowers in hul hande gehad het nie.

“Net daar het ek besluit ek gaan nie meer petrol ingooi nie en het weggery. Ek het net gedink, wat as die ouens nou begin skiet het? Dit is nogal skrikwekkend om te dink dat dit nie eens gelyk het of die rowers haastig was nie. Hulle het net die duisternis in verdwyn,” sê hy.

Die buitelanders wat die winkel bedryf, wou nie met die media praat nie.

Die polisie het die voorval bevestig en soek nog na die rowers.

Inwoners mor oor dromme vol bly BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind

I

nwoners van Silversands, Blackheath, Tusgany Glen en gedeeltes van Eersterivier is die josie in omdat hul vullisdromme die afgelope twee weke reeds laat leeggemaak word.

Volgens inwoners laat hulle hul vullisdromme buite vir die vullisverwyderaars om dit leeg te maak, maar niks gebeur nie.

Van die vullisdromme is reeds gesteel omdat dit na-ure buite gestaan het.

Maureen Cookson, ’n inwoner van die Bardale Village-sekerheidskompleks, sê hul vullisdromme is verlede Sondag leeggemaak, terwyl dit eintlik die vorige Donderdag reeds gedoen moes gewees het.

“Ons drom het reeds begin stink omdat dit

nie betyds leeggemaak is nie. Ander mense het hul dromme van die sypaadjies af weggeneem toe dit nie die Donderdag leeggemaak is nie, min wetende dat die vullisverwyderaars die Sondag gaan kom.

“Hierdie mense se vullisdromme is nou tot oorlopens toe vol. Wie verwag nou jou vullis gaan op ’n Sondag verwyder word?” wou Cookson weet.

Verlede Donderdag het mense se dromme weer onaangeraak voor hul huise gestaan.

Inwoners van Blackheath het op Facebook hul misnoeë uitgespreek oor die situasie met die dromme.

Een het selfs gedreig om sy vullis voor die munisipale kantore te gaan gooi as dit nie verwyder word nie. ’n Verklaring is glo op 28 Februarie deur die Stad uitgereik, waarin verduidelik word dat

vullisverwydering vertraag is. Luidens die verklaring is verskeie vullisverwyderingsvoertuie buite werking en dit lei daartoe dat hulle nie volgens die rooster kan werk nie. Die verklaring lui voorts dat inwoners hul dromme tot 22:30 buite moet los.

Dit sal nie so lekker werk nie, sê Clive April, ’n inwoner van Delro Village.

“Ons kan nie bekostig om ons dromme so laat buite te los nie. Die goed word weggedra en gebruik om gesteelde of onwettige goed mee rond te karwei. En as dit eers gesteel is, is dit ’n lang proses om weer een te kry,” sê April.

Die Stad Kaapstad sê die probleme het ontstaan weens verandering in prosedures

in oudit-en bestuursprosesse.

“Hierdie prosesse het op 24 Januarie begin en affekteer die instandhouding van voertuie en infrastruktuur regdeur die munisipaliteit.

“Dit word veral in die vaste afval-afdeling gevoel met hoë lading wat die voertuie dra.

Baie intensiewe diensprogramme word vereis om die voertuie op die pad te hou,” sê Xanthea Limberg, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir water en riool.

Limberg sê verskillende departemente werk dag en nag om die probleme op te los.

“Ons doen ’n beroep op inwoners om hul dromme teen 07:00 uit te sit en tot 21:00 daar te los,” sê Limberg.

KENNISGEWING VAN ’N VERGADERING VAN DIE RAAD VAN DIE STAD KAAPSTAD ’n Vergadering van die Raad van die Stad Kaapstad vind op Donderdag 26 Maart 2020 om 10:00 in die Podiumgebou, Burgersentrum, Hertzog-boulevard 12, Kaapstad, plaas.

Let asseblief daarop dat daar ’n beperkte getal sitplekke vir lede van die publiek beskikbaar is en dat dit dus op ’n eerste-daar-eerste-gehelp-grondslag toegeken sal word.

Covid-19: Artists feeling the pinch TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07 The entertainment industry and the livelihoods of artists are being negatively affected by the state of disaster announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday 15 March.

This according to events management company, Brukman Consulting, after several events which were set to take place across in the coming weeks have either been cancelled or postponed in an effort to curb the spread of the Covid-19.

In his address to the nation on Sunday evening following an urgent Cabinet meeting Ramaphosa announced the following preventative measures where events and gatherings are concerned: . Gatherings of more than 100 people will be prohibited; . mass celebrations of upcoming national days such as Human Rights Day and other large government events will be cancelled; . where small gatherings are unavoidable, organisers will need to put in place stringent measures of prevention and control.

This in effect means the hosting of major music festivals and shows at GrandWest and the rest of Cape Town need to be put on hold.

Founder of Brukman Consulting, Bridgette Brukman, says most of their events take place in public places with more than 100 people. “A further impact of this pandemic is that events in communities are unable to take place, organisations that rely on big shows for income will have to stop production. It’s a domino effect in this industry. Some full-time artists feel the pinch more as they rely on events for their basic living expenses.”

Brukman says they have had to cancel or postpone partnered events such as the KKNK, Suidooster actress Jill Levenberg’s Up Close & Personal Brunch and Nostalgia (an event which would’ve featured Craig Lucas and Robin Pieters) to name a few.

She encourages artists to take this time out to focus on building their brand. “As a business it definitely highlights the need for artists to look at savings plans and medical aid and to create a safety net.”

In a statement this week, event organisers Glen21 announced the postponement of the Boyz II Men South African tour. The statement reads: “All information regarding refund options will be communicated to all ticket holders by the end of the week.”

Big Concerts has also announced the postponement of the Lighthouse Family’s SA tour that was due to take place at the Grand Arena, GrandWest on Tuesday 24 March.

Other major entertainment events that were either postponed or cancelled include Cape Town Carnival, the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, Smokie and Cape Town City Ballet’s Autumn season.

Taxi driver making a difference TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

N

ot only does Marco Lodewyk get his passengers to their destinations safely, but he also provides financial relief by having a weekly raffle.

Lodewyk (36) from Bonteheuwel started this initiative at the beginning of March.

This is the flask in which Marco Lodewyk places the numbers.

PHOTOS: TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS

The passenger who draws the “lucky” number gets a free taxi ride for the week – morning and evening trips.

He says in the morning he does three trips from Netreg to Bonteheuwel train station.

In the evening he does three more trips.

“I started in the taxi business about 10 years ago, but that time I was driving for taxi owners. For the past four years I’ve been driving my own taxi.

“Every day is a different adventure and the nice part is that I’ve built good relationships with my passengers,” says Lodewyk.

He has always been eager to do good in the community so he started by offering free taxi rides to pensioners.

But he says there was an urge within to do even more. “One day I asked myself, ‘Marco, what more can you do to give back’, then this idea came to mind of having a weekly raffle. Sometimes we don’t know people’s living conditions so to make things a bit easier I thought to offer free rides for the ‘winner’,” he explains.

Lodewyk starts his trips at 04:50 until 08:00 then he has another trip later in the afternoon from 16:00 until 18:00.

Taxi driver Marco Lodewyk is eager to give back to the community.

“On a Monday, I choose either my first, second or third morning trip to do the raffle.

“This is simply for fairness. So what I do is place numbers in a flask, then ask the passengers to select one. At the end I have a separate box with the same numbers in which I then draw a number myself and then the lucky number is announced,” says Lodewyk.

Pensioners, he says, drive for free.

“I feel with the little money they get, they can’t still afford to be paying for travelling.”

There are days, mostly in the afternoon, when Lodewyk puts out a box of fruit for the passengers to enjoy. “I get the fruit at a vendor at what the residents call ‘The Klein Masiet Stop’ as some people may be hungry after a long day of work.”

He says he is thinking of more ways to give back, but for now he is happy.

Passenger Desmond Samuels describes Lodewyk as “the best taxi driver”.

City to address refuse removal backlog The City of Cape Town’s refuse collection services should see a steady improvement over the next three weeks.

The disruptions to refuse removal times and subsequent backlogs have been experienced as a result of revised procedures to audit and governance processes that came into effect from 24 January.

According to a statement by the City, this is affecting repairs to vehicles and infrastructure throughout the municipality.

However, this is primarily being felt in the solid waste collections service due to the high demands placed on vehicles ánd the maintenance required to keep the service working.

Various City departments have worked day and night to finalise 709 purchase orders for the servicing of its 211 refuse vehicles in line with the new audit requirements and to continue the refuse service as best as possible, including timeously clearing backlogs.

Suppliers are also being requested to speed up repairs and maintenance of vehi-

cles to get them back on the road again.

Where applicable, senior staff in the solid waste service has also been recalled from leave to ensure contingencies, such as redistribution of vehicles to worse-affected areas, are in place to minimise the impact on residents while the backlog of vehicle repairs is being tackled.

Residents are advised that from Monday 16 March a new service schedule will be implemented which will mean that refuse collection should not be delayed by more than one day. Residents throughout the City are advised to bring their bins out by 07:00 in the morning and leave them outside until 21:00. The City’s solid waste teams will continue to also work on weekends to clear any backlog which still exists.

“Excess refuse that cannot fit in the wheelie bins will also be collected until this problem is resolved. Residents are also implored not to resort to illegal dumping if collection delays cause refuse to build-up to the point where it cannot fit in the wheelie bins.

The City apologises for this inconvenience.

Donate blood despite Covid-19 The Western Cape Blood Service (WCBS) is appealing to healthy donors to continue donating blood.

Michelle Vermeulen, promotions manager for the WCBS says they would like to assure donors that donating blood is safe. The coronavirus (Covid-19) cannot be transmitted through a blood transfusion as respiratory viruses are generally not known to be transmitted by donation or transfusion.

Blood donor screening, which includes travel self-deferrals, are already in place to prevent individuals who may be at risk

of clinical respiratory infections from donating blood. The WCBS does not test for Covid-19.

The WCBS is currently experiencing a critical shortage of O- and B+ blood groups.

Healthy donors of all blood groups are urged to continue to donate blood to ensure the blood stock levels are adequate at all times in the Western Cape. “We anticipate added pressure on the blood supply during Easter, Ramadaan and the winter months and the added effects of the coronavirus could see the number of eligi-

We want to thank our residents for their patience during this time while every effort is being made to restore normal services,’ said the City’s mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg.

Furthermore, the City is engaging with contractors to attempt to mobilise any additional capacity they may have available, and are increasing oversight in the service to ensure contingencies operate as designed.

According to the City’s Mayco member for finance, Ian Neilson, they have worked hard to ensure that the revised procedures do not have an indefinite negative impact on service delivery.

“City financial experts have developed ways to speed up the procurement process in a manner that is compliant with the new audit and governance requirements while at the same time, together with our solid waste department, everyone has done their utmost to ensure that the impact on services is minimised wherever humanly possible,” said Neilson.

ble donors decrease in the following few months”, says Vermeulen.

If donors suspect any risk of infection they must contact the National Institute for Communicable Diseases hotline on 0800 029 999.

Donors should take the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of others. If you are feeling unwell or exhibiting any clinical symptoms of infection (fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat and shortness of breath), you are requested to delay donating blood until you are in good health.

V Contact the WCBS on 021 507 6300 or visit www.wcbs.org.za if you would like to find a blood donation clinic close to you or require information.

Bothasig Gardens taking shape

House prices to slide deeper into deflation?

P

House price growth in virtually all the upmarket sub-regions of the Cape Town metro have fallen deeper into deflation.

This is according to the FNB House Price Index for the second quarter of 2019.

On the Atlantic Seaboard, the city’s most expensive sub-region, house price growth slid to -3.7% year-on-year in the second quarter from -3.2% in the first quarter of 2019.

FNB’s economist Siphamandla Mkhwanazi says the pressure appears to be spilling down the price ladder and away from the mountain.

“Sub-regions in the northern suburbs – generally in the middle of the price spectrum – showed a sharp deceleration in the house price growth in recent quarters,” Mkhanazi says.

He explains that for some time, these regions were perceived as offering more affordable housing.

“Ultimately, prices overshot and completely counteracted their initial attractiveness. Unsurprisingly as demand slowed, price growth slowed.”

House price growth in the suburbs of Bellville, Parow and surroundings including Goodwood, Durbanville, Kraaifontein and Brackenfell are described as holding up relatively better, but still slowed further.

hase 2 of a social housing project at Bothasig Gardens is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2021, “if all goes as planned”.

The first phase of the project has been completed and provided 120 qualifying beneficiaries and their families social housing opportunities, the City of Cape Town says.

This phase of the project entails providing social housing to 314 beneficiaries.

On Wednesday last week, Mayco member for human settlements, Malusi Booi, visited the site to check on the progress. He was accompanied by ward councillor Helen Carstens.

“It is exciting to see the second phase of the Bothasig Gardens social housing project progressing well and that the work is on track for completion within the next year.

We are closer to seeing this project become a reality and for our qualifying beneficiaries to move into their new homes. It is also a good example of how we must build and expand on partnerships to tackle the demand for more affordable housing in Cape Town and other parts of the country for that matter,” Booi says.

The social housing regulatory authority’s social housing grant for this project is more than R85 million and social housing institu-

Over-50s Cricket World Cup cancelled AVRIL FILLIES

from 43 balls with Dave Callaghan’s 21 and Dawson’s 19 the next highest scorers in a modest total of 173 all out.

England appeared to be well on course for victory at 70-1 but seamer Anwell Newman (2-25) and spinner Neil Fusedale claimed vital wickets in the middle order and some determined fielding and excellent catching saw wickets fall at regular intervals.

Strydom (2-19) also played his part with the ball conceding just six runs from the penultimate over with England requiring 12 from 12 balls before Dawson produced his magic to finish with a remarkable 2-13 from his nine overs following his brilliant 69 not out from only 35 balls in the opening 193-run win against Wales.

South Africa’s third game in the tournament was against India at Langa Cricket Club on Sunday 15 March.

In other results on Friday: Pakistan (197-6) beat India (193-7) by 4-wickets. Australia (169-7) beat West Indies (168 all out) by three wickets. Zimbabwe (207 all out) beat Sri Lanka (198 all out) by 9-runs.

Wales (162-2) beat Namibia (161-8) by 8-wickets. SA was drawn in Pool B and competed against England, Pakistan, India, Wales and Namibia.

In Pool A the defending champions, Australia, competed against New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Zimbabwe and Canada.

Louis Koen, Kenny Jackson, Anwell Newman and Henry Williams are all former Boland players and showed they are still a force to be reckon with on the cricket pitch.

Newman can still remember his first encounter facing Alan Donald (coach) in a provincial match against the Free State where, he says, Donald nearly took his head off with a bouncer.

“Alan came back from an injury and was out to prove himself and unfortunately Boland had to bear the brunt of his attack.

“The only silver lining in that encounter

The Over-50s Cricket World Cup being held in Cape Town has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

The organising committee took the decision during the third round of matches on Sunday 15 March, which were abandoned after the first innings.

“It is a public health risk decision,” said the head of the tournament’s medical committee,” Dr Parag Pandya.

“The decision was taken for the protection of the players, given their age demographic, but also for the local population given that 95% of known cases in South African have come from travellers.”

Seven of the 11 visiting teams have been staying in the same Cape Town hotel where appropriate precautions have been taken and they will remain there until arrangements can be made for their departure.

“The decision was taken by the organising and medical committees but it is fully endorsed by the sponsors.

“There was a great desire to continue but, in the end, it became apparent that cancellation was the right thing to do,” said Evergreen Lifestyle spokesman Arthur Case.

Former WP and Proteas all rounder, Alan Dawson, was the match-winner for the second game in succession as South Africa’s veterans clinched a two-run win in a nail-biting finish against England at Wynberg Boys High School on Friday Dawson had just five runs to defend in the final over with England eight wickets down and conceded only two runs in his first five deliveries leaving Sean Cooper requiring a boundary off the last ball to win the game.

Dawson bowled him – with a no ball – but the batsman missed the free-hit and the win was secured.

Strydom had earlier held South Africa’s stuttering innings together with a robust 40

COVID-19: TYGERRUN ONE OF MANY THAT IS POSTPONED, CANCELLED

Brakes on local sport EARL HAUPT @earlhaupt

S

porting activity in the country has been brought to a grinding halt following President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement on Sunday 15 May that the country is now in a state of disaster in response to the Covid-19.

In his address, Ramaphosa drove home the point that minimising contact between people is essential in curbing the spread of the virus, further stipulating that gatherings of 100 people or more will not be allowed. As a result, almost every major sporting body in the country has followed suit, by implementing immediate suspensions or cancellations of activity amid the ongoing uncertainty which surrounds the outbreak.

The Western Cape Provincial Sport Confederation (WCPSC), which oversees multiple sporting codes and reports to the South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC)

have been one of the first to take heed. “We request that all members in the sporting fraternity begin the immediate practice of social distancing,” reads the statement by WCPSC president JP Naudé.

The statement further outlines that all sport in the province is postponed or cancelled with immediate effect for at least the next two weeks. This includes clubs, district, provincial and national activity and includes junior and senior sports activities; amateur and professional sports gatherings; formal and informal sport gatherings; private and institutional sports gatherings; and competitions.

“Although the first action is a suspension of 14 days, this could change or be extended on further notice. We will continue to engage with our partners and the health authorities so that we may advise you with accurate and timeous information ... If ever there was a time for the sport to contribute to the nation, this is it.”

No more TygerRun this weekend The TygerRun, that was scheduled to take place on Saturday 21 March, has been postponed until further notice. A new date is still to be set, and will be communicated to runners, for the event that is presented by TygerBurger, Radio Tygerberg 104FM and Tyger Valley Shopping Centre.

Hardus Zevenster, chief executive officer of Radio Tygerberg, says: “We see the virus disruptions as an opportunity for South Africa to take the lead, take responsibility and set an example to not panic under real pressure and fake news. It is a chance to stand together, to help each other, and to encourage one another to succeed in difficult times. The only way to overcome the virus is not to take it lightly, but at the same time to make wellconsidered and responsible decisions for the benefit of everyone.”

Cricket season cancelled The Western Province Cricket Association has also announced

the cancellation of the rest of the cricket season. “To this end, the WPCA offices and Newlands Cricket Ground, is under lockdown until further notice,” read a statement issued by WPCA. As a result, most WPCA staff will work remotely, all club, youth and any other form of cricket is cancelled and all board and subcommittee meetings are cancelled.

Residents are also encouraged not to visit Newlands Cricket Ground in an effort to “to exercise social distancing and prevent the spread of the virus”.

Varsity Cup games postponed While a decision on the future of the Varsity Cup was not yet available at the time of print, the organisation chose to postpone all this week’s matches. “All FNB Varsity Cup matches for 16 March have been postponed. The FNB Varsity Cup Board will meet on Tuesday 17 March where a decision on the rest of the tournament will be taken,” read the statement.

Bodybuilding champs now in July The International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA) Africa International Championship was due to take place in Bellville South this week. INBA Africa president, Alma Nel, confirmed the event’s postponement. “Following the announcement by the President last night (Sunday), we have decided to postpone our event to Saturday 11 July,” says Nel. Sporting bodies suspend activity Selected notable sporting bodies and events which have cancelled or postponed activities include: Absa Cape Epic, Athletics South Africa, Boxing South Africa, Canoeing South Africa, Cricket South Africa, Cycling South Africa, Premier Soccer League, South African Football Association, SA Rugby, The Sunshine Tour, Tennis South Africa as well as the Two Oceans Marathon, while the South African motocross nationals at the Zone 7 motorcross track has also been cancelled.

Softball season ends with KO NOORE NACERODIEN

The Cape Town Softball Association season ended with an exciting week of softball.

In the women’s Super League Knockout (KO) competition, Lavender Hill won their first major trophy when they beat Westridge Yankees 3-2 in a riveting final at the Turfhall softball stadium on Sunday 15 March.

The outcome is the first major title won by the young Lavender Hill team.

Just 24 hours earlier, Yankees put the skids on Lavender Hill when they ran out 6-1 winners to retain the league title.

As expected, both sets of pitchers contained the batters throughout the two games.

In the men’s major league KO final, Hamiltons scored four runs in

the seventh innings to clinch a famous victory over Westridge Yankees.

In the league competition, Khayelitsha Eagles failed to beat Pirates allowing Yankees to clinch the title at the finish line.

Yankees had a good day at the ballpark when their men clinched the second division KO and their women’s major league team clinched the double at the expense of Table View Tornados.

The results are: Saturday: Super League: Heideveld Yankees 0, Falcons 15; Kenfac Phillies 5, Glenthorn A’s 8; First League: Panthers 14, Glenthorn A’s 15; Battswood 5, Blackheath 7; St Martins 0, Lavender Hill 6; Crusaders 0, Khayelitsha Eagles

First round of Power Series’ new heroes The first round of the regional Power Series presented at Killarney International Raceway on Saturday 7 March delivered superb motor racing in a new format, including a number of surprises from new faces and new machines.

Danie van Niekerk qualified on pole for the Mike’s Place Clubmans Saloons, but had to give best in Race 1, coming home behind Brennon Green, with Clint Rennard promoted to third.

Van Niekerk’s run of bad luck continued in Race 2, as he ran two seconds off his qualifying pace in ninth overall until he went out on lap six, while Green, Nieyaaz Modack, Michael le Sueur, Rennard, Mansoor Parker, Rafick Pather and Cody Albert made the running at the sharp end of the field.

Michael Hitchcock surprised everybody by grabbing the lead on lap one of the first BeJoTrustees fine cars and Millstock cars

Pre-1980 and Pre-1990 cars races in the Cross Cape Mustang and holding it until lap six, when Franco Donadio and his allconquering Ford Escort Mk1 relegated him to second.

Two laps later the Pony Car spun in G Energy corner and came to rest on the edge of the circuit with flames coming from the right rear wheel.

That was the end of Hitchcock’s race – and everybody else’s as well, as the red flags came out. Erik Mouton was classified second and Eric van der Merwe third in the Lynx Porsche 944T. Kewyn Snyman laid down his marker for the 2020 RST Suzuki South Superbike series title with a superb clean sweep of pole position, the fastest lap in each race and two race wins.

Which is not to say that he had it all his own way. Multiple former regional cham-

pion Ronald Slamet chased him for most of the race, until Snyman pulled the pin in the closing stages and pulled away to win by 9.413 seconds.

Behind them an epic four-way fight for third resolved itself into two separate duels as Gerrit Visser recovered from a poor start to make up two places and beat Bernard Haupt’s Fueled Racing R1 by 0.208sec for third.

The closest racing of the day, however, came from the teenagers of the Powersport 300 Class. Slade van Niekerk and David Lindemann finished fourth and fifth overall, separated by a scant 0.008sec, in Race 1 after swopping places four times in eight laps.

Lindemann got his revenge in Race 2 however, passing his arch-rival three laps from the end and holding onto a tenuous lead to come home 0.541sec ahead.
