HEALTHCARE: DESIGNED TO INCREASE SECURITY FOR STAFF AND PATIENTS

Upgrade for ValkenbergASTRID FEBRUARIE

The revitalisation of Valkenberg Psychi-atric Hospital has become a priorityproject for the provincial health depart-

ment.The decision was made on the grounds of

the need to provide a facility capable of pro-viding a forensic psychiatric assessmentservice to the Department of Justice.The R978m rebuilding project will see the

creation of a staff-friendly and healing envi-ronment for patients.Provincial health minister Theuns Botha

says the planning of the hospital is an oppor-tunity to build an attractive architecturallandmark in Cape Town. He hopes it will seta new benchmark in psychiatric care.“The proposed revitalisationwill increase

the bed capacity from 340 to 432. The mainadministration complex is a Grade 2 provin-cial heritage site and will be retained tohouse administration functions,” he says.“The community and the greater Cape

Town value the rich historic backgroundand their association with the facility.”The new design has been created to en-

hance security for staff and patients, ensurestaff safety and patient security.“All considerations had to be included –

optimising the landscaping andmaximisingthe natural beauty of the site. The design ac-knowledges the historic landscape settingand the historic core,” Botha says.The redevelopment is, however, not wel-

comed by all.Harfield Village Association secretary

FrancineBecker says they consider anyden-sification a matter of concern.The fact that the site is situated within a

sensitive wetland area makes it more criti-cal. Any building activities critically impacta sensitive area, she says.“Rain water from roads and pavements

currently drains into the Liesbeeck Rivervia three stormwater pipes. Any changeswould necessitate expensive and majorchanges to the existing infrastructure,”Bekker says.“Increased traffic, noise and activity

would be harmful to wildlife such as theCape Clawless Otter, the endangered Leop-ard Toad and a number of bird species, inthe wetland.“If the areawas developed andmaintained

as a world-class wetland heritage area and

wildlife refuge, many foreign and local visi-tors would be attracted to the area, givingthe communities opportunities to provideservices and accommodation.”As the site is a functioning hospital the

construction programme will be developedto take into account thedecanting of existingfunctions to cause as little disruption as pos-sible. It will also consider the protection ofpatients and staff from construction activi-ties.“The site is arranged to formthreedistinct

precincts: the Historic Core which will con-tain administrative functions; the ForensicVillage and the Acute Village. Buildingshave been designed around courtyards to

improve the patient environment and pro-vide a durable, low maintenance and sus-tainable design,” Botha says.The public face of the scheme is formed by

the werf, which forms the forecourt definedby dual tree-lined avenueswith themain en-trance opposite the core buildings on its cen-tral axis.Botha explains each village is arranged

around a central green which serves as rec-reational area. “The project embraces sus-tainable design by (using) low maintenancematerials, soft andhard landscaping layoutsand robust internal fixtures and fittings,”Botha says.“Carbon emissions will be reduced by the

use of low energy, taking advantage of pas-sive ventilation and building orientation.”Thehospitalwill be providing twoparallel

services: an acute admission and rehabilita-tion service for those suffering from seriouspsychiatric disorders which cannot be man-aged by community-based facilities, as wellas a forensic psychiatric service which willprovide an assessment for the courts and asystem for the care of State patients.The entire construction and decanting of

the hospital is aimed to be completed by onecontractor within 40 months.The first construction stage will be com-

pleted by September 2014 and final construc-tion is aimed for completion by mid-2016.

NEW DEVELOPMENT: The Valkenberg Psychiatric Hospital is expected to be fully revitalised by 2016.

Ponzi schemes are now under reviewALET RADEMEYER

“Do not say goodbye to your money.”With this national campaign, the South

AfricanReserveBankwants to reach 11mil-lion South Africans and make them awareof illegal pyramid or Ponzi schemes.At a news conference last week Hlengani

Mathebula, head of group strategy and com-munications at theReserveBank, said thou-sands of SouthAfricans fall victim to illegalschemes that take theirmoney and promisequick riches.People should be very careful and do their

homework properly before investing theirmoney in any scheme, he said. “Any prom-ises or assumptions of excessive returns onyour money should be viewed with suspi-cion.”Mathebula said people are oftendrivenby

greed to make more money, which leads tothem being exploited and eventually losing

everything.“Get advice from accredited and regis-

tered financial services before you investany money. Accredited financial servicesare regulated by the Reserve Bank, the Fi-nancial Services Board and the NationalCredit Regulator,” Mathebula said.“Take to heart the hackneyed expression:

if it sounds too good to be true, it probablyis.”Mathebula said people do not only lose re-

tirement and pension money through ille-gal schemes. “There are even thosewhobor-row anything fromR20 000 to amillion randfrom banks to invest,” he said.“This has serious social and economic im-

plications. If you lose your money, thebanks still want back what you borrowedfrom them. It causes people to be in trouble,can’t afford essentials or are not able to paychildren’s school fees.”He said the sum of money people invest

in the schemes range from thousands to sev-eral millions, and the size of schemes arefrom 20 to 1000 people.As for the appearance of schemes, the Re-

serve Bank received many complaints lastyear. It also reviewed and investigatedschemes started in January 2008 to the endof last year.During this time temporary inspectors in-

vestigated 75 cases.A total of 145 surveys were carried over

from previous years and 89 were completedover a five-year period.In 2012 11 new investigations were

launched and 27were carried over frompre-vious years.To the query why some investigations

take so long, Mathebula said the bank mustact within the law and work with the policeand the National Prosecuting Authority.V Report suspicious schemes or inquire whether institutions are registered on 0800 313 626.

CALL TO REGULATE: AVOID ‘POP-UP’ DRIVING SCHOOLS

Spotlight on drivingNADINE MOODIE

Driving schools need to be regulated inSouthAfrica, saysNazeemKisten, act-ing general secretary of the South Af-

rican Driving School Operators Associa-tion (Sadsoa).This comes after the association, which

has been in operation for five years, foundthat very few measures are in place to en-sure that driving instructors deliver ade-quate service to learner drivers.“Driving instructors only need to pass the

instructors’ test before they can teach some-one how to drive,” says Kisten.“This is not enough, because many in-

structors learn through trial and error,don’t undergo advanced driving courses,and testing centres are often corrupt andaward certificates to people who have failedthe test.”Sadsoa sent a draft bill of possible regula-

tory clauses, which they believe should as-sist in governing the industry, to thenation-al transport department.Kisten says the bill states that instructors

need five years’ driving experience; (and)two years’ work experience as an instructorwith an accredited driving school.He adds instructors also need to be “ap-

proved by the provincial transport minis-ter; and should also attend a college whichoffers a rigorous driving school pro-gramme”.The bill also looks at ways and means to

regulate and accredit the driving school in-dustry. All driving schools in South Africaare unregulated as there’s no regulatorybody. More than 95% have not been accred-ited by the Transport Education TrainingAuthority (Teta).This accreditation allows for driving

schools to apply for government and busi-ness tenders where they’ll be able to teachlearner drivers.Kisten says tough economic times are of-

ten the cause for people becoming drivinginstructors – they may have lost their jobsand have a car and some patience to teachlearner drivers. “But pop-up drivingschools, which are often called pirates, also

need to be accredited byTeta. Accreditation usu-ally costs between R25000 and R30 000, whichonly the large, more es-tablished drivingschools can afford,” hesays.“The only way more

driving schools will beaccredited is if govern-ment reduces the largecosts attached to accred-itation and Teta approv-al. Large drivingschools have no issueswith accrediting theirbusinesses, becausethey have means to doso.”Kisten says acquiring

a driver’s licensewill becomemore difficultover time due to the computerised learner’stest implemented at some testing centres.This new testing means will require

learner’s license candidates to sit in a simu-lator to test their possible driving skills, aswell as 16 hours of preparation.He hopes to see testing yards regulated to

ensure they meet the standards set by thebill.“Driving schools should join the associa-

tion so they can be prepared for the possibleregulations, because by the time the govern-ment passes the legislation no one will beable to have an unaccredited drivingschool,” Kisten says.“Cars used for teaching will need to be a

certain type, with an operating number andall driving schoolswill need to be registeredcompanies with an office and a landline.”He further adds the regulatory body

hopes to apply these stringent rules, be-cause of past cases where learners paid forlessons up front and fraudulent instructors,who operated from cars and with a cell-phone, disappeared with their money.A learner driver, who spoke on condition

of anonymity, says he had been requestedto pay in advance for lessons at Aubrey’sDriving Academy, which had come highly

recommended. “The instructor asked forthe money up front. I did not feel comforta-ble handing over more than R1 000 to some-one I did not know, and instead switched toa school where I (was required to) pay perlesson,” he says.Academy ownerAubrey Richter has been

a driving instructor for 15 years. He, too,wants to see the industry regulated.“An ombudsman is needed for driving

schools where people can lodge complaintsabout schools, because the industry lacksaccountability,” he says.He sayshis business asks for paymentpri-

or to lessons as people who pay per lessonare very inconsistent and lack commit-ment.“It’s difficult to satisfy clients all the time.

If people don’t like what they see, theyshould go to another established drivingschool and avoid the fly-by-night ones,” hesays.Provincial department of transport

spokesperson Al-Ameen Kafaar says thereis no legislation to regulate driving schools.He says the department is in the process

of finding a system to register drivingschools and compile a database.V Share your views. Starting with the word “Post” SMSyour comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Cops step up anti-crime plansASTRID FEBRUARIE

Rondebosch police have launched and im-plemented several crime prevention opera-tions in the fight to combat crime in the pre-cinct.These operations are aimed at combating

street robberies and vehicle-related crimes.Rondebosch police station commander

Lieutenant Karl Wienand says the opera-tions are an ongoing process, which in-cludes vehicle and foot patrols, vehicle con-trol points, stop-and-search operations, andthe distribution of pamphlets in problem ar-eas. “During the operations several arrests,ranging from possession of stolen property,house break-in instruments, dangerousweapons and drugs, driving while under theinfluence of liquor or drugs, theft and shop-lifting were made,” Wienand says.“Traffic fines were also issued for traffic

violations.”Claremont police cluster spokesperson

Captain Angie Latchman says the assist-ance of the community is needed to combatcrime. “These crime prevention operationshave nettedmany successes andwe urge thecommunity to always be vigilant,” she says.

Latchman adds they have partnered withLaw Enforcement , security companies andtheClaremont andGrooteSchuur communi-ty improvement districts to create a safe andsecure environment.

Abdul Kerbelker, Claremont Improve-ment District Company (CIDC) managersays they have also partnered with the po-lice to ensure constant visible policing inClaremont. “The police often indicate to uswhere the crime hotspots are, to ensure ef-fective deployment of resources,” he says.“We also see ourselves as performing an

educational function in communicating tovisitors to be crime safe by locking their ve-hicles and placing expensive items out ofsight”.The CIDC has also held numerous pam-

phlet drops, while its website and Facebookpage is used to alert the community on crimein the area.Kerbelker says in partnering with police,

businesses and residents, it ensures any ille-gal activity is noticed and reported to CIDCfield officers.“We want to establish the community of

Claremont as a space where crime has nospace to operate,” he says.

KENILWORTH: RESIDENTS AT THE END OF THEIR PATIENCE

Parking pestsare persistentASTRID FEBRUARIE

Kenilworth residents are fed-up withmotorists parking on both sides of thestreet.

These motorists leave only a small gap forother drivers to pass through and, in theprocess, parked vehicles are damaged.This is an ongoing battle with the City of

Cape Town’s transport department.Harfield Village Association chairperson

James Fernie says they have been trying toconvince the City to do something to solvethe problem in Second Avenue for years.“We have suggested that the City’s traffic

department do something in the interim, un-til they have a permanent solution,” he says.Fernie suggested the City paint yellow

lines on both sides of the road, to restrictmo-torists from parking there.He believes this would alleviate the prob-

lem until the City finds a permanent solu-tion.“The City did this in Observatory when

residents complained, so why can’t theymake it work here too?” he asks.Fernie says residents are constantly con-

cerned about damage to their vehicles.“We are also concerned about emergency

vehicles or fire trucks not being able toreach an emergency in time,” he says“The cars could delay them, which could

result in someone losing their life.”A Kenilworth resident, who spoke on con-

dition of anonymity, echoed this sentiment.“We have been living here for years; it is

extremely annoying when we can’t evenpass through our driveways,” he says.“We ask that motorists think about where

they are parking, as they could be puttingthe lives of their families, friends and neigh-bours at risk.”Zita Walbrugh, a resident of Third Ave-

nue, says she regularly uses Second Avenueto drive home and finds it very difficult todrive down the street.“I have to be extra cautious not to knock

or scrape any of the cars parked on the sidesthe road,” Walbrugh says.“I really think it is time for the City to do

something to make it easier for motoristsand residents of the area.”Mayoral Committee member for Trans-

port, Roads and Stormwater Brett Herronsays they have conducted an investigationof parking on Second Avenue, particularlyaround the restaurant nodes.

“Any attempt to regulate parking bymeans of lines and signs would lead to a sub-stantial loss of parking for residents, as wellas visitors to local businesses,”Herron says.“The demand for parking on more minor

side roads would then increase, causinggreater problems.”Herron adds, while parking on both sides

of SecondAvenue restricts thewidth of roadavailable for vehicle movement, it is be-lieved to be in the best interests of residentsand the general public not to restrict park-ing on this particular street.

TRIBUTE: KENYA MASSACRE VICTIM

‘Gentle giant’ rememberedASTRID FEBRUARIE

A very large community of family,friends and work colleagues has ex-pressed shock over the death of James

Thomas.James was shot and killed during the at-

tack in the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenyaon Saturday 21 September.Described as a gentle giant, James was

known for his bear hugs and his completeintolerance of poverty and unemployment.He would have died forgiving those re-

sponsible for his death, his wife Colleensays. “Jameswasa creativevisionary, deter-mined to see people flourish and reach theirgoals. He knewhow to love fully andwithoutreserve,” she says.Colleen says James had a deep passion

that drove him; he hated to see anyone un-employed.“His passion pushed him to be a trainer

of entrepreneurs. James used every possiblemethodanddeep creativity to break throughpeople’s passivity to help them create jobsfor themselves. He simplywould not rest un-til he saw the person fully developed,” she

says.James wasmarried to Colleen, a local Cal-

lanetics teacher and musician, for 33 years.The couple have two daughters, Sarah andJulie. Their nephew Sipho Johnson liveswith the family.

James was an enterprise developmentspecialist with 23 years of experience in mi-cro and small enterprise development.His work included the development of

training materials, business support struc-tures and business advice centres in SouthAfrica.He was also the chairperson of the Cape

TownYouthChoir andawardenat St Peter’sAnglican Church in Mowbray.Choir conductor Leon Starker describes

James’ death as “devastating”, not only tohim, but to the entire choir and staff.“He was an incredible man, who always

gave back to others. His death underlineswhat is important in life; we have to stop fo-cusing on things that aren’t important,”Starker says.“He was someone who believed people

must run the race of lifewithout hesitation.”One of his Kenyan colleagues, Adam

Smith, recalls James had been shoppingwith fellow colleagues on that tragic day.“According to (those with him), he wan-

dered away from the group after (buyinggoods) at a supermarket. It was at this timethat the shooting started,” Smith says.It is believedJameswasoneof the first vic-

tims to be shot and killed during the attack.Thomas’ son-in-law Dr Scott Lee-Jones

says, despite the pain of losing their belovedhusband and father, the family were re-lieved to hear he did not suffer as a resultof his wounds.“Our understanding is that the attack

started in proximity to the supermarket,whichmeans Jameswas one of the very firstvictims. He was shot three times and, mostlikely, died instantly,” Lee-Jones says.“Our hearts go out to the families of those

who were victim to the intense fear and suf-fering that followed the initial spate of gun-fire. We hope these details will help James’amazing network of friends, family and col-leagues to find closure”.V The funeral of James Thomas took place at BishopsDiocesan College Chapel in Rondebosch yesterday(Wednesday).

COMMUNITY SAFETY: HOW TO SURVIVE THE CRIME

Hijacking: thesteps to takeASTRID FEBRUARIE

Residents in Rondebosch and Clare-mont are warned to be more vigilantwhen entering their driveways as

criminals are attempting to hijack peopleas they enter their properties.Rondebosch Community Improvement

District (RCID) manager Shirley Aldumsays they have noticed the average hijackeris a well-dressedman, driving a luxury car.However, women are also being used in

hijackings as they are regarded as lessthreatening.“Hijackers usually cruise an area, some-

times for days, or sit in parked cars to studypotential targets. It is, therefore, very im-portant to report suspicious-looking peopleor characters in your area to the RCIDHub,” she says.Aldum says people should not be fooled

by gesticulating passersby who indicatethere is something wrong with your car.“Odd road blocks and speed traps, as well

as car accident scenesarealsousedasawayto hijack people,” she says.Aldum suggests people who think they

are in danger should hoot, flash their head-lights and shout to attract the attention ofother people.“Break the law if youmust; youmayneed

to jump a red light or a stop street to getaway from danger,” she says.“Although these are still traffic offences,

it is up to the individual (involved) to provethey committed the crime in self-defence.”She urges residents and motorists to pre-

pare themselves for potential crime situa-tions by thinking through various situa-

tions, and deciding on how to deal withthem beforehand.Claremont ImprovementDistrict Compa-

nymanagerAbdulKerbelker says althoughthey have not received any reports of at-tempted hijackings inClaremont, residentsmust still be vigilant at all times.“We urge residents to surrender their ve-

hicles if confronted by hijackers as the aimis to survive the crime, not to resist. Re-member property can be replaced, but livescannot,” he says.Rondebosch police spokesperson War-

rant Officer Lyndon Sisam says they havenot received any formal complaints of hi-jackings.He, however, advised residents to report

any suspicious activity.“Residents should be vigilant, especially

at night. When you are en route to yourhome, make sure to switch off all electron-ics to avoid being distracted when enteringyour driveway,” Sisam says.“If you suspect someonemaybe following

you, it is best to drive past your house untilyou feel safe to return.”Sisam adds residents can also go to the

nearest police station andask to be escortedto their house, if they really feel unsafe todo so on their own.Rob Dale, managing director for a securi-

ty company in the province, says peopleneed to remain aware of their surround-ings, as many people tend to relax and lettheir guard down the closer they get to theirhome.“Residents can also visit the National Hi-

jacking Prevention Academy’s websitewww.hijack.co.za formore tips,”Dale says.

Solving mysteriesof ‘life and death’(This is an) interesting subject, but it is notall that is taking place at the moment.I came (upon) various genealogy, geneal-

ogy forensics, genealogy science, (and)DNA research and by (searching) DNAfood on Pinterest.One can only enquire why we have not

been informed about progress especiallyregardingDNA research, which is not onlyhelping to identify people (who have been)murdered, but (also) the origin of peoplearound the world.(This includes) people like the Lembana-

tion of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawiand South Africa.Unless one is living in the far north of

South Africa, one does not even come tohear about (the Lemba nation), whothrough 2 000 years of travelling southdown theAfrican continent, actually origi-nated in Israel and intermarried on thejourney to SouthernAfrica, whichDNAre-search test by Professor Tudor Parfitt hasproven.The Lemba are still Zionistic in culture,

religion and traditions, andhave their ownArc of the Covenant.Then we have the skull of King Richard

III, which was found in a parking lot inEngland (and from)which forensic expertsextractedDNAand later proved that itwas,in fact, the skull of the lost king.People taking a DNA genealogical test to

find out where their ancestors originatefrom are linking up now, by receiving a ge-netic code.Especially people like black Americans

who have lost or were forced to give (up)their original tribal names, can now do soby using this method.Find someone on the internet with the

same genetic code and you hit the jackpotin finding an unknown relation, no matterwhere you or that person is in the world.This crosses the colour bar as well, findingblack and white relatives in the process.Now three Icelandic university students

have put their heads together and inventeda cellphone type machine, with 1 200 yearsof data on it, that works on ones DNA.All one has to do is bump the other per-

sons (cellphone) and within minutes onewill find out if one is directly related toeach other or not.The Icelanders, with their small popula-

tion, are finding this instrumentmosthelp-ful as it is preventing them from commit-ting incest by, through no fault of theirown, marrying a first cousin.This, of course,would also bemostuseful

to a small country such asWales. The prob-lem is the (number) of different surnames,which isminimal. Everyone there is eithera Rees, Jones, Morgan, Owen, Owens, Wil-liams and a few other available surnames.Then we come to DNA Food Research

which can give one a good diet, enablingone to eat away all those ancestral familycauses of death, by identifying them andgetting the correct prescribed diet, and liv-ing longer.One medical researcher has already

gone so far as to say that soon, in years tocome, illnesses will become a thing of thepast.So dive in, research all that has been said

and change the world to what it should belike, and live happier through beinghealthier.ANDRE MARTINAGLIA,KENILWORTH

Rest in peace, James ThomasIt is a sad and heart-rending loss that the de-vout James Thomas, a businessman, wasamong those who lost their lives in thesenseless killing at theWestgateMall inNai-robi, Kenya.My first encounter and interaction with

Jameswasnearly 20years ago.Wewerebothinducted as parish wardens at St John theEvangelist Church in Wynberg – James aswarden at Christ Church, Kenilworth, andmyself at St Philip’s, Kenwyn.James was larger than life – physically

and in stature, believing in bear hugs in-

stead of traditional handshakes.James defended the underdog, living out

the gospel, speaking out against injusticeand exploitation.James left an indelible mark of generosity

and outreach to the less fortunate. He willbemissed, but his legacywill continue in theparish and St Peter’s, Mowbray.Our heartfelt condolences to his wife Col-

leen and the family. May his dear soul restin peace.MARK KLEINSCHMIDT,KENWYN

Your SMSes. I thank you for your article on Oscar.Though I didn’t find his owner, I had severalpeople wanting to adopt him and lots of love-ly people phoning to find out if I had foundhis home. In the end he went to a very lovelyand caring home in Pinelands and has set-tled in very well. I thank everyone for theirconcern. Val Raxworthy

. Regarding the Telkom lines in Pine-lands: I beg to differ, but alarm signals wereaffected. And ourADSL lines, which alreadyhavebeenunreliable ever since, is now total-ly not working for two weeks. Sonja

. Regarding the dog rescue at the Elsies-kraal River in Pinelands: I saw the wholeevent. A young woman leapt into the canaland rescued the dog, at great risk to herselfas the current was strong. No police officer

jumped in the water or pushed them to safe-ty, and they were helped out of the canalwith a dog lead which was attached to thedog’s collar. I would like to nominate theyoung woman for a medal if I get her name.

MZAINODIEN LINNEVELDT does not care aboutnext year’s election. “I do not see any change inthis country, why should I vote? Rich people arericher, while the poor remain poor. To me, votingdoes not make any sense.”PHOTO: NOBULELO DAMBA

PIETER MATTHYSER says he is not registered buthe would love to vote. “Since I arrived in the West-ern Cape I have seen a change, which is somethingthat motivates me to vote next in the election.I have lived in different provinces and I only votedonce in Free State.” PHOTO: NOMBULELO DAMBA

CHRISTAL OCTOBER has made up her mind aboutthe party she will be voting for. “I believe the partywill make a difference. Not only will they makea difference, I've seen the changes they have beenmaking and I love it.” PHOTO: TARRYN ARNOLD

PAMELA BHONGCOSHE says she’s looking for-ward to next year’s elections as she will be votingfor the first time. “I’m not registered, but I willdefinitely be voting next year. I will vote for theparty that works for the people.”

Runner needshelp to wear thegreen and goldLIAM MOSES

A Cape Town athlete could have hisdream of representing South Africaripped away from him just days be-

fore it becomes reality.Strandfontein resident Percy Kelly (48)

qualified for the World Athletics Masters’Championships, but may not be able to at-tend the tournament due to a lack of funds.

Kelly says he has already raised almosthalf of the R35 000 needed to attend andused it to pay for his flight and registrationat the tournament.

“I still need around R20 000 to cover myother travelling, food and accommoda-tion,” he says.

“I approached many companies but noone has said they would sponsor me – evenpartially.

“I actually don’t know what to do andtime is running out. If no one sponsors me,I will have to cancel my trip.”

The money Kelly has raised thus farcame through one large donation for his airfare and door-to-door collecting he did atwork and in Strandfontein.

The Masters’ Championships will takeplace in Brazil from Wednesday 16 to Sun-day 27 October, and Kelly will need to de-

part on Friday 11 October.Kelly first started participating in athlet-

ics in primary school, stopped after highschool and picked up the sport again as a27-year-old in 1992.

He currently runs road, cross countryand track races and will compete in the5 000m track race and 8km cross countryrace at the Championships.

The Celtic Harriers Athletic Club runneris confident he can challenge for a medalin Brazil.

“With the local cross country races mytimes were all around 32 minutes, while mytime was 31:40 at the Western ProvinceCross Country Championships in July,” hesays.

“For someonemyage to run a cross coun-try race in that time is great. I think mychances will be better in the cross country.I love hilly courses, as I am stronger on thehills.”

Kelly has represented WP on six occa-sions since 2001 and says his greatestachievement is winning a silver medal inthe 2005 Two Oceans Marathon.

He says representing his country in Bra-zil would eclipse all of those achievements.

Anyone interested in assisting Kelly cancall him at 084 814 0368.

ALMOST THERE: Per-cy Kelly could repre-sent SA at the WorldAthletics Masters’Championships if hefinds a sponsor intime.

Tourney gives players a lifelineLIAM MOSES

A glut of Western Province players havebeennamed in the SouthAfricanRugbyLeg-ends Association Iqhawe Week All StarTeam.TheAll StarTeamwill not play anymatch-

es but head of development for SA RugbyLegends, Pieter Muller says the selectioncould raise players’ profile and lead to thembeing selected for elite squads at their un-ions.“The All Star Team couldn’t be a formal

national side, as all 16 unions were not com-peting. But we wanted to give recognition tothe players who played well at the tourna-ment,” Muller says.“It’s important for unions to understand

that they should be looking at the playerswe

picked for their elite squad system, as thesekids are 15-years-old and are eligible for theGrant Khomo Week.“All we can do is contact the unions to in-

form them of the selections. It’s up to the un-ions to (take it further); we will do what wecan to get the kids in.”The IqhaweWeek was hosted at City Park

in Athlone last week and eight coastal prov-inces competed in the under-15 tournament.The teams were WP, Boland, Griquas,

KwaZulu-Natal, South Western Districts,Golden Lions, Border andEastern Province.All players selected for the provinces

came from developing rugby schools; thevast majority came from schools which par-

ticipate in the Vuka League – another initia-tive of SA Rugby Legends.Muller says the aim of the Vuka League

and the Iqhawe Week is to create a meansto develop players and offer them a “path-way” to the elite set-up at their unions.“Wewant to give thesekids another oppor-

tunity to be seen. We are not looking at thetop schools; we are looking at the ruralschools and the dormant schools. Nobodylooks at those schools. We want to give themthe opportunity,” he says.“Our Vuka programme in the Western

Cape has over 80 schools. That’s where theWP team was selected from – from schoolsthat never played rugby; schools in Langa

and Atlantis. That’s what we want to createall around the country.”Players in the WP team came from 16 dif-

ferent schools across the Peninsula, includ-ingMountviewHigh inHanoverPark, SpineRoad, Portlands and Lentegeur high schoolsin Mitchell’s Plain and Darul Islam inGreenhaven. Province eventually won thetournament after defeating South WesternDistricts 14-6 in final.The IqhaweWeekwill behosted inadiffer-

ent province next year and all 16 provincesare set to participate.Muller adds that the tournamentwill have

“the same credibility as the Grant Khomoand Craven Weeks”.V WP’s Dillon Kaalmeyer, Laaiq Felton, Toufeeq Hendricks, Ziyaad Adams, Bradley de Jongh were selectedfor the All Star team.

Black and Yellow still on topLIAM MOSES

The weight of expectation that comeswith the “favourites” tag can be crip-pling for a sports team.

Not so for Milano United.The Grassy Park side have started the Na-

tional First Division (NFD) season in fineform, winning four out of four matches andscoring nine goals while conceding justthree.This promising start, combined with a

surprising showing last season – their firstin theNFD –has seenMilano crowned early-season favourites.Head coach Theo Hempe says his team

doesn’t mind either way.“There are no clear favourites in this

league. The good start doesn’t mean any-

thing; we still have to finish well,” Hempesays.“We don’t mind being called favourites.

There is mental toughness in this team andwe believe we are good enough to win theleague.Wedon’t carewhetherweare favour-ites ornot.Webelievewe cango all theway.”Milano started the season with a 2-0 win

against Jomo Cosmos (H), went on to beatFC Cape Town 3-1 (A) and edged Roses Unit-ed 1-0 (A).On Sunday Hempe’s charges recorded

theirmostmeaningful victory thus far, beat-ing African Warriors 3-2 (H) in a top-of-the-table clash. The Free State team went intothis match placed second on the table, trail-ing their opponents on goal difference.Warriors finished sixth last season, a

place above Hempe’s side, and Milano are

yet to play any team who finished in the topfive.Hempe rejected the idea that his team’s po-

sition at the summit could be due to a easystart to the season.“Nogames are easy in this league. It’s very

difficult to win four in a row,” he says.“The players have matured and learned

since last season.Weare good enough tobeatevery team. It doesn’t matter who we play,every game is difficult.”Milano are likely tomaintain their perfect

record on Saturday when they face sixth-placed NFD debutantes Baroka FC.The Black and Yellow will be without

2012/2013 top goal scorer Lesvin Stoffels forat least another two weeks. But Hempe be-lieves his side will manage to win withouttheir hitman.

“We have all-round strength in our team.All our players aren’t available, but we havedepth in our squad,” he says.“There is (still) a lot of room for improve-

ment. Themore the team plays together, thebetter they will get. And with the playerscoming back from injury and reaching fullfitness, the team will just get better.”Meanwhile, fifth-placed Santos will hope

to get their promotion campaign back ontrack when they host Black Leopards at Co-etzenberg Stadium in Stellenbosch tomor-row (Friday) at 19:30.Leopards were relegated from the Absa

Premiership last season and have drawnthree games and lost one thus far. Santoshave won one match and drawn two.A victory could see the People’s Team

climb to third on the table.
