The operating budget is for maintenanceprojects or day-to-day running expenses,whereas capital expenses are related to the

set-up costs of permanent structures such asbuildings, bridges and street lights.

Ian Iversen, chairperson of Subcouncil 20and councillor of Ward 59, encourages resi-dents to submit their ideas.

“Problems such as potholes, blocked drainsand lights not working don’t fall into wardbudgets, but can be sorted out via generalmaintenance budgets,” explains Iversen.

Central police deny Bronx beating claimHANRIE BOSCH

THE POLICE deny being presentat a famous gay nightclub inGreen Point after a flurry ofemails, accusing officers of bru-talising a visiting Saudi Arabianprince, sparked outcry amongthe gay community.

Emails from Bronx club managerAri Nitzan started making therounds last Tuesday, alleging thata “Saudi Arabian prince” – “a regu-lar visitor” to the club – was beatenup during the early hours of Fridaymorning, 16 September, after aboutseven people officers in civilianclothing entered the premises toconduct “undercover operations”.

When People’s Post spoke to Nit-zan on Wednesday, he claimed offic-ers had stormed in just past 04:15 –15 minutes after the club’s allowedtime to sell liquor had ended.

“The police shouted at everyoneto get out,” he said. The prince,when asked to leave, apparentlytold an officer he was “just finish-ing” his drink.

At this point, Nitzan alleged, theofficer “slapped him in the face andoff his chair, and another five po-

licemen jumped in, beating him upquite badly”.

Nitzan claimed the prince was ar-rested and assaulted again in custo-dy, and released later that day afterpaying a R100 “admittance of guiltfine”.

Asked about the allegations, Cap-tainEzraOctober, spokesperson forthe Cape Town central police, saysundercover officers were not evenin the vicinity at the time, as “thestation commander had no knowl-edge of any weekend operationsplanned for the area, and no raidswhere planned”.

Though Nitzan said in his emailon Tuesday that “no case of assaultwas opened by the prince due to thesensitive nature of the situation”,in another mail sent out on Sundayhe wrote a charge had been laidwith the police, and a complainthad been sent to the IndependentComplaints Directorate (ICD).

October says no such charge hasbeen laid, however. “If a case wasopened against a police officer, andanentire task team, Iwould certain-ly have know about it, but therehave been no such cases opened.”

People’s Post could not confirmwhether any complaints had been

laid with the ICD at the time of go-ing to print.

Further attempts to reach Nitzanproved unsuccessful, and People’s

Post could find any other sources tocorroborate his claims.

Calling ClaremontclaimantsCLAREMONT land claimants will meet atLivingstone High School at 14:00 to “discussthe way forward” at the Bowwood Road siteon Saturday 1 October.

“The meeting is only for those who haveopted for land, not payouts,” organisers say.“Please bring your reference number; theLand Claims Commission project officer forClaremont has been invited to attend.”

For further information phone Allie Abdu-rahman on (021) 705-2250.

Saving lives for a livingANDRE BAKKES

IT was pouring down with rainwhen paramedic Craig Northmore(40) attended the accident scenethat will haunt him for the rest ofhis life.

“It was a horrific scene,” he re-calls.

One of his colleagues was in-volved in an accident while he wasdriving in an ambulance, and, asfate would have it, Northmore wasone of those who ended up at thescene.

“I was at an accident scene be-tween two trucks and a vehicle thatday.

“There were a whole lot of inju-ries – one boy’s legs were stickingout of the car. Then I got anothercall. I’ll never forget – one of my col-leagues was involved in the otheraccident.

“He was a real amicable guy.When I arrived, I saw he waswedged in between the wreckage ofthe ambulance, but he was alreadydead, and I could not resuscitatehim.

“This scene still lingers... It willstay with me forever...”

Northmore has experiencedmore than his “fair share” of gruel-ling accident scenes in his 19 yearsof being a paramedic, but one man’snightmare is another’s destiny.

“While my friends played Cow-boys and Indians, I was playing par-amedic,” he laughs.

For someone who has convincedDeath on more than one occasion toleave with a few rainchecks in-stead, the lion-hearted Northmorecomes across as light-hearted, de-termined and humble.

The ER24, ICAS and Vincent Par-lotti Hospital paramedic says hehas saved “only” five people fromcertain death, yet he admits that hehas resuscitated about 500 people.

It is even more curious when onehears he has only received three let-ters of compliment in his career.

“There was recently a surveywhen 8 000 people were asked 10specific questions. It turned outthat 98% of those questioned saidthe most important thing after a se-rious accident is that an ambulancearrivewithin fiveminutes, and 97%said the least important aspect isthat the paramedics know how to dotheir job.

“I don’t think people actuallyknow what we do.”

Northmore doesn’t, however, getout of bed at 05:30 to work an 11-hour shift 15 days a month for rec-ognition.

“I get paid to do this,” he reasons.Northmore says he tries to dis-

tance himself on an emotional levelfrom the job at hand by treating hispatients like mannequins, concen-trating more on the injuries thanthe people injured so that he cancarry out his work of saving livesunhindered.

There is a support system in placefor most paramedics, throughwhich they can undergo counsel-ling or be referred to a psychologist,but Northmore says he copes withhis experiences adequately.

He nonetheless dreams about hiscolleague’s death.

“I will see something in thedream that I never noticed before,and then try to save him according-ly,” continues Northmore.

Despite this recurring dream,

Northmore is obviously in amplecontrol of his mind and profession.

There are, of course, variables hecannot control, such as the weath-er, which makes aviation medicinethe most dangerous – between fiveand eight days a month, he workson ER24’s helicopter, which some-times flies into nigh-impossiblenooks and crannies to get to an iso-lated patient.

Northmore only half-jokinglymuses, “They say if you don’t likethe weather in Cape Town, wait aminute.”

On the road there is another thingparamedics don’t have control over– fellow motorists who refuse tomake way for an ambulance.

“Move left when you hear the si-rens, don’t brake!” he pleads, beforeadding that valuable seconds are al-most always lostwhen they respondto a call.

This is one of the main reasonsevery person should have an emer-gency service number saved ontheir phone – Northmore says peo-ple generally don’t know who tophone if they come across an unat-tended accident scene.

“Phone 084 124 immediately toreach the ER24 call centre,” he urg-es everybody.

American author GretchenRubin once said, “Don’t hesitate topraise people who get a lot of praisealready.”

As Northmore doesn’t get thepraise he deserves, perhaps base-ball player Satchel Paige’s quote ismore relevant: “Not to be cheeredby praise, not to be grieved byblame, but to know thoroughlyone’s own virtues or powers is thecharacteristic of an excellent man.”

Support Cansa in styleNOT brave enough to shave off your locksat the Cancer Association of South Afri-ca’s (Cansa) Shavathons earlier thisyear?

You have another option: Teams fromhair styling brand ghd will host a “Style-a-thon” to raise funds for the anti-cancercause at shopping centres across SouthAfrica, including Canal Walk, on Satur-day.

The upshot is that you can now showyour support for those who are battlingcancer by having your hair styled insteadof shorn, and acknowledge the hard workbeing done by Cansa to educate the publicand provide support to all those affectedby cancer.

October, National Breast CancerAwareness Month, is dedicated to en-couraging all women to invest in their

health by learning how to detect breastcancer at an early stage; organisers saythat 1 in 29 women is diagnosed withbreast cancer every year.

With this inmind, you’ll be able to raiseboth funds and awareness – as well as geta professionally-styled hairdo – for a do-nation of R50 for adults and R20 for chil-dren under 12 years during the Style-a-thons, which will run throughout mallhours.You’ll also get a chance to buy the 2011edition of the ghd Pink Orchid Styler,worth R2 380, adding to the R1,1 milliondonated by the styling company to Cansathrough the Orchid’s sale since 2005.

Changing the world one step at a timeANDRE BAKKES

WHEN Craig Sieben (27) isstanding next to a desolate

road in the middle of Africa andwondering who the next helpfulstranger will be, the words of theChaeli Campaign’s co-founder,Chaeli Mycroft, will ring in hisears:

“My greatest strength is that I be-lieve that I can do anything.”

On Saturday 17 September, Sie-ben left Plumstead with a rucksackon his back, a little nervousnessand a whole lot of enthusiasm.

His destination is an intimidat-ing 16 000km away – in Port Said,Egypt.

If all goes according to plan, thejourney will take take him through15 countries in 222 days, and hismission is to change the lives of 222disabled children along the way.

He will travel on foot and thegoodwill of others – if this involvesa lift to the next town, he will em-brace their kindness.

His “Walk4Wheels” journey isrun in collaboration with the Chae-li Campaign, a non-profit organisa-tion founded by children, for chil-dren.

Their main objective is to “mobi-lise the minds and bodies” of chil-dren with disabilities.

At the time of writing this article,Sieben had been on the road for sixdays, and was probably fast asleepin his comfortable Kimberley bed.

“Best braai of my life – thanksKimberley Boys’ High! Tough act tofollow, St Andrews, Bloem – will seeyou tomorrow!” he tweeted a coupleof hours before.

It’s possible to follow him virtual-ly every step of the way thanks tohis up-to-date blog, a dedicated web-site, and Twitter.

His first stop on Saturday was inProtea Heights in Brackenfell,where six-year-old Kayla Vorster –who has spina bifida, characterisedby the incomplete development ofthe spinal cord or its coverings –was given a standing frame, with-out which she would never be ableto walk.

Tracy Green of the Chaeli Cam-paign said at the time, “[The frame]being too expensive for her parentsto purchase, Kayla became the firstrecipient in this wonderful cam-paign.”

On day two, Green blogged, “I re-ceived a text that day which reallymade my heart ache, to the effectthat the heavens were crying alongwith Craig’s mom.

“And the heavens truly were. TheCapewaspummeledwith torrentialrain that Sunday – making us allworry whether Craig had packedwater wings into that fancy back-pack of his.”

On day three, he battled for anhour to get a lift, says Green, so hethought he would “put his beautifulSalomon tekkies to good use”.

Yet fate had something differentin store for him, as Green elabo-rates: “As luck would have it, afterfive minutes a car pulled up. Thedriver told Craig that God had toldhim that he needed to pick Craig upas he had a great purpose, and thathe was prepared to take Craig wher-ever he needed to go. WOW!”

Chaeli Campaign’s Debbie Capesays, “He has already, even in thisshort space of time, been touched by

the kindness of strangers – peopleoffering him lifts, shelter, food andsmiles. This journey is going to bean incredible one!”

Sieben will, in turn, touch thou-sands of lives in South Africa, thenBotswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ma-lawi, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Burundi,Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia,

Eritrea, Sudan and Egypt.The total value of the project is es-

timated at R2,3 million, and every-one can become involved by spon-soring a specific day of his walk ata cost of R222, or by contributing to-ward the 222 devices he hopes tohand over.

Follow his every move on on Fa-

cebook at www.facebook.com/walk4wheels, on Twitter through@walk4wheels or @chaelicam-paign, or on the Walk4Wheels blogat walk4wheels.tumblr.com.

Social media help Susan healHANRIE BOSCH

SOCIAL MEDIA have given thevictim of a horrific and unpro-voked acid attack her dignityand voice back, and she is nowtrying not only to raise the mon-ey needed for her costly surgery,but also raise awareness for oth-er victims of violence.

“I am not a victim, but a survivorof abrutal acid attack.NowIamtry-ing to get my face back and raiseawareness about victims of violentdisfigurement and gender

-based violence,” says the 23-year-old woman, who now refers to her-self only as Susan – she has yet totell her family of the horrific attack,

and also fears for her safety as thecrime is still under investigation bypolice.

“The social media have reallyhelped,” she says, “because, insteadof sitting around feeling sorry formyself, I can talk to people and theyall send me incredible messages ofhope and support.

“My life has changed in very un-expected ways, as I used to be veryshy, but since this I have startedgetting more confidence – and Ihope that, after all of this, I can givemotivational talks to other vic-tims.”

On the evening of Tuesday 30 Au-gust, the young woman left her SeaPoint workplace and was on herway in a taxi to the central rank

when two men poured acid over herhead and ran away (“Acid attackstill a mystery”, People’s Post, 6 Sep-tember).

The acid left her with severeburns to her face, eyelids, neck,back, arms, torso and legs.

According to doctor ElizabethParker, Susan’s employer, friendand spokesperson, the woman’slong road to recovery has only justbegun: Doctors estimate she willneed to undergo three to four yearsof rehabilitation and surgery thatwill cost something like half a mil-lion rand.

Thus far nearly R50 000 has beenraised to help pay for her surgery,but Susan hopes she will be able toraise more than enough – so that

she can help other less fortunatepeople who have also fallen victimto grievous violence.

A man has been arrested in con-nection with her attack, and re-mains in police custody, says Cap-tainEzraOctober, spokesperson forCape Town Central Police Station.An identification parade is still totake place.

Anyone who would like to showtheir support can send Susan mes-sages of hope by joinining her Face-book group, Susanforgives, or fol-lowing her Twitter feed, @Susan-Forgives.

Anyone who would like to makea donation can contact Dr ElizabethParker on 076 954 7448, or talk to Su-san via her social media feeds.

FORGIVENESS: Susan has enduredtwo skin grafting operations sincethe attack, but still has three to fouryears of surgery and rehabilitationahead of her.

Photo tips #9: compositionJOHN RAYNER

THE composition of a photographusually follows a few acceptedguidelines.Note, they are but guidelines, andneed not be followed slavishly, butwill assist in producing well-bal-anced, pleasing images.

Inyourmind’s eye, divideyour scenein the viewfinder into three equalparts, horizontally and vertically.

The four intersecting points of thoselines are called the “sweet spots”, andit is on one of these that we ideallyshould place your subject or an inter-esting element in the scene.

The idea is that we seek a pleasantlybalanced image – by which I do notmean placing your subject slap-bang inthe centre of theviewfinder, as thiswillusually provide an indecisive scene,with both halves competing for the

viewer’s attention. When next you vis-it a game park and you are presentedwith a wonderful image of a leopard,aside from all the tips on exposure youall by now know, look at the scene andcompose.

Is the animal reclining, sitting orwalking? What background is there?

Will it detract fromthe star of themo-ment? Allow a little space for the ani-mal to “move into” (yes, even when itis at rest) – it suggests motion or a storybeyond the frame of the photo.

An animal should have the most im-portant part on one of the intersectingpoints of the imaginary lines: Its eyesare the anchor point of your image. Ifthey are not looking directly at thecamera, have them looking “into”,rather than “out of” the frame.

That is to say, if they are looking left,have them a little off-centre to the righton one of the “sweet spots”.

Most photos we take are in the hori-

zontal, or landscape, format.This is purely because of the way we

see the world with our binocular vi-sion. Well, it does not always have tobe that way.

If, with a scene of, say, Kirstenbosch,you could turn your camera 90° intothe vertical – portrait – format and in-clude all those lovely spring flowers inthe foreground, your family sitting ona bench and the mountain as the back-drop. Do no accept the first sight of ascene as the one you will take.

Move around it and view it from allangles. Is the elevation right?

Maybe if you walked a little way upthe hill and included that church spireit would add an interesting element tothe picture. Is this the right time ofday?

Should you perhaps wait for thefront of the building to be lit by after-noon sun because the morning lighthas cast a shadow over it?

SWEET SPOT: The poles form a nice diagonal across the frame,and there is an interesting shadow pattern on the sand.

Watch out on the N1!THIS incident occurred on Friday 9 Septem-ber. The woman, though not from the area,has been interviewed at Kirstenhof Police Sta-tion under instruction of Geoff Fox, chairper-son of Kirstenhof Community Policing Fo-rum, and her story is confirmed as factual.

On Friday at about midday I was drivingon the N1 in the direction of Paarl. Aroundabout the kennels just before the WinelandsOne-Stop, I saw three youths with a dog ina sack, and they were trying to hang it in atree. Without thinking I stopped and jumpedout of my car. Thereafter it is a blur, but fromwhat I can make out they flung the dog at meand I caught it, so now my hands were full.They then put a sack over my head, whichhad thorns in it, and during this I receiveda very severe boot to my back around my kid-ney area.

This I do not remember, but the doctorshave told me it is what must have happened.They forced me into the back of my car,where I was kicking and screaming. One washolding the sack over my head, and by so do-ing pushing the thorns into my face andhead. The other was either trying to evademy legs or hold my legs.

My car is an automatic and has a thumbpush-start – there is no key at all. To startit you have to go through a correct sequenceof events. I had left it in drive when I jumpedout so I would say they could not work outhow to start it or what to do. In addition, ifyou do something wrong, the car shouts.This must have frightened the youths, andthey jumped out and I assume ran. By thetime I got the sack off my head they were no-where in sight. My injuries are superficial.

I had in excess of 20 thorns stuck around myface and head, which they removed at thehospital. One was very close to my eye, and,I would say had I not been wearing darkglasses could have gone into my eye. Theyhad hit me in the mouth and that is badlybruised. Today I had to have an MRI as theywere concerned that my one kidney could betorn or possibly even ruptured, as I had se-vere bleeding. All very minor when I consid-er what possibly the intent was.

What is interesting regarding the kidneyis the doctor said whoever kicked me couldhave had training of some sort, as the kidneyis protected and the kick severe enough todebilitate me and rupture a membrane – theguy knew what he was doing.

When I spoke to the police I had zero to goon. They advised that it was probably a set-up, as if they really wanted to hang the dogit would not have been so close to the road.The officer said these youths know that morethan likely a woman would stop, and thenshe is an easy target. They probably wantedto hijack the car and take anything theycould get their hands on. I was fortunate inthat my car is sophisticated – others may notbe. I cannot even contemplate what wouldhave happened if I was maybe someone frail-er or if they had managed to start the car.

The police have advised that the best thingto do is ask people to be aware, using thatstretch of the road. They have said put it oncommunity forums to get the word out.Please pass this on and use whatever meansyou need to stop this happening to other peo-ple.ANONYMOUS

Your SMSes. Warning

Don’t drive along Stuart Road when thekids are coming out of school. The reason forthis is that the parents who are picking uptheir brats care little for the motorists be-hind them – they just stop. They even stopat stop signs and get out their vehicles, leav-ing them unattended. It just shows you howmuch respect people have for the law. Theycouldn’t care less. A law unto themselves.

Just a thought. Why must neighbours litter in front of

others’ houses? Are we not suppose to be acleaner and healthier city?

. We all make mistakes. We buy what wedon’t need or can’t use! Does anyone knowhow to get rid of ACI or similar holiday clubpoints?

. I thank all of you for responding to myquery about Nakhlistan, even the negativeattacks. I am much better informed than Ipreviouslywas.Thanks.Now is there aphys-ical address where I can send some of thepoor people that come to my door asking forfood when I am unable to help them? I’ll stilldo my bit to help. Damocles

. How can neighbours be so inconsiderateby parking all their vehicles in the road?They have garages full of junk so everyoneelse must suffer because there is no parkingfor visitors.

. To the driver of the white bakkie with

green wing mirror covers on the M3 on 19September: You should be embarrassed athow badly you drive!

The holiness of Ramadaan. I really don’t know what you are trying

to prove. The holy month of Ramadaan ismeant only for our Muslims, not for any oth-er faith that I know of. The month is holy toMuslims. Your lack of thinking is a direct re-flection of your stupidity.

. Why is James Rawlings so petty? The ho-ly month of Ramadaan is the correct way tosay it.Other faiths follow the traditional Jan-uary, February, etcetera calendar, and Mus-lims follow a lunar calendar in which Ram-adaan is the holy month. Why should it bereferred to as a month holy to Muslims whenother faiths don’t even consider it a month?Grow up and worry about real issues.

Hitting the woof. Stop nagging about dog barking! Dogs

bark to protect property and owners. Icaught a few people teasing dogs, so how canthey shutup? If youare teasedorangry,whatdo you do? Use common sense!

. A lonely dog barks as a lonely manspeaks to himself to assure themselves thatthey exist. Doggone shame.

. To the person who wants to complainabout dogs off leash in park areas: It is mostlikely that you have not put in the effort toproperly socialisingyourdogs and that is thereason they are on leads and have problemswith other dogs.

Dogs are by nature extremely social ani-mals who enjoy interactingwith other dogs. It is veryunfair that other dogsshould lose out on beingable to run free because ofyour own ignorance and la-ziness. Put in the workneeded!

DEEP THINKING: The People’s Post Domino Marathon was launchedat the Blackpool Hall in Salt River on Friday. The tournament – whoseaim was to raise funds for old age homes in need – kicked off witha fairly slow start, with a dozen teams making it on the night, butthe pace soon picked up to fever pitch. All teams belonging to theWestern Cape Domino Trust Board were split into even teams andnamed after Barclays English Premier League clubs. The tournamentbegan with a 12team showdown, and several dramatic games whittled the contesting crews to four. The eventual winners were the Bolton Wanderers. There was also a People’s Post team, consisting ofplayers from outside the league who are interested in playing dominoes on the big circuit, but the paper’s team unfortunately succumbedto a 226 defeat.

THE first pub-lic televisionpictures weretransmitted in1926, while thefirst TV inter-view was

made with Irish actress PeggyO’Neil in April 1930.

The first televised sportingevent was a Japanese elementa-ry school baseball game, broad-

cast inSeptember 1931, anddailybroadcasting was started by theBBC in November 1936.

The first TV commercial, a 20-second ad for a Bulova clock,was shown in 1941.

The first regular TV soap wasDuMont TV’s “A Woman to Re-member”, which began its runin February 1947.

Hot wheels, fine wine comes to townWHEN the Santam Swartland Wine Routecomes to town on Saturday 8 Octoberyou’re in for a few surprises!

More than 50 stallholders show what canbe poured, plated and produced in thisunique and unspoilt area, and some of themore unusual farms show their wares ata farmer’s market at the lovely Kirsten-boch Stone Cottages.

At the Vineyards just outside Malmes-bury you will find, on show, the very firstSaab rally car imported into South Africain 1969, and a historic Ford Capri Perana.

Ex-racing driver Anthony Corin re-stores classic road and competition carsfrom the 1960s and ’70s, and about 20 ofthem are on display at the farm.

There will also be several unique Por-sches on show.

Interestingly, however, the “sex onwheels” at Franki’s isn’t a car, it’s a culti-var – a single-cultivar grenache that wine-maker Erica Joubert bottled in 2010. It wasBritish wine critic Oz Clarke who dubbedgrenache “the wild, wild woman of thewine world”.

With so much to soak up, visitors maywant to stay over, and they can do it in clas-sic style. The four-star guest accommoda-tion consists of the 10-bedroom Franki’sGuest Lodge, and is ideal for corporatebreakaways and bigger parties, as well asfor quiet family weekends away.

Erica will be presenting her mourvedre-grenache blend, and her single-cultivargrenache for tasting at the Santam Swart-land Wine and Olive Route show at Kirst-

enbosch Stone Cottages on Saturday 8 Oc-tober. And for those who thirst for some-thing racier, keep your eyes peeled for thehigh-performance Ford GT40 that will beon display. Entry is free, and it runs from

10:00 to 16:00.For more details phone (022) 487-1133, or

‘Blatjang’ leaves indelible markLYNN PRINS

PEOPLE often forget sporting heroesonce they “hang up their boots”, but

Faiek Hendricks, fondly known as “Blat-jang”, is a rugby legend to remember.

One can only wonder how this big man,who played as a prop and lock, got a nick-name like “Blatjang”, but he eagerly ex-plains the name came from his high schooldays.

“I must have been mistaken for a guy whosold blatjang in Hanover Street,” he says,remembering how his schoolmates teasedhim with the name.

“I made the mistake of chasing them, andever since I was stuck with it.”

Blatjang grew up in District Six, and wasborn in Plymouth Road opposite GeorgeGolding Primary School, before moving toAspeling Street, where he developed hislove for the game of rugby. “I lived for rug-by, since soccer was not my favourite, norwas I interested in cricket. My love for thegame developed on the street – coming outof the bioscope and playing a game of rugbywith friends was the routine.’

In the late ’60s, at the age of nine, he start-ed playing for Silvertree Youth Club, andcontinued as a senior, captaining Silver-tree’s first-side team up until the late ’80s.From there he “club-hopped” – or, as hesays, he helped out teams by playing forthem for a season.

He calls himself a “bad loser”, which goessome way to explaining his drive for victoryin captaining teams like Watsonia, Violets,Hamiltons, Schotschekloof Walmers,Youngstars and Caledonian Roses, to namea few. Speaking about his provincial careertakes him back to 1978 – also the year of hisknee injuries, though he evidently didn’t al-low these to stop his career early.

In 1984, Blatjang’s career was at its peak;he represented the SA invitational team,and three years later he made his debut asa South African Rugby Union playeragainst Kimberley’s invitational team.

It was only in the ’90s, though, when hegot to further his international career.

In 1995, the year SA hosted and won itsfirst World Cup after the apartheid was de-feated, he represented the team of SA veter-

ans, also known as the Classic Springboks,when they played against the World Clas-sics in Bermuda, North America. Two yearslater he was in Japan, playing for the veter-ans in the Sannix Championships.

He followed this up by representing theSA parliamentary team in London, Eng-land, playing against British parliamentaryteams in the House of Commons and Laws.It was in 1998 when the World Golden Oldiesstarted in Cape Town, and every secondyear they toured overseas. Silverferns Rug-

by Club, a club for former provincial play-ers and club players, was established in thatyear for Golden Oldies.

Asked about his former teammates, Blat-jang’s tone glows as he speaks of veteranplayers like Salie Fredericks and CasiemJabaar. “In the veteran team I played along-side Karel du Plessis – ‘Prince of Wings’ washis name – Divan Serfontein, Janie Breedt,Danie Gerber, Rob Louw and so many oth-ers.

I’ve even played against the top dogs such

as Andy Hayden and Jock Ross of New Zea-land.”These days, Blatjang works with SARugby Legends, hosting coaching clinicsand organising school tournaments.

He’s also involved with the coaching ofUWC’s women’s rugby league. Blatjang seesSpringbok captain John Smith as a greatleader, with his two favourite players beingGio Aplon and Juan de Jong.

Blatjang strongly believes that theSpringboks will be crowned world champsagain.

LEGEND: Faiek “Blatjang” Hendricks is seen with a photo of the SA veterans team that toured to Bermuda in 1995; it included the lateYagyah Sakier, Divan Serfonteing and Chris Burger. Photo: Rashied Isaacs

World Cup watch – and a few more rules to bootLYNN PRINS

THE World Champs displayed su-perb rugby yet again on Thursday,when they slaughtered neighbour-ing country Namibia with a victori-ous 87-0.

Thus far the Springboks have setthe highest score, with no pointsconceded against them. The matchat full time had 12 tries, 12 conver-sions and one penalty goal.

On Saturday, New Zealand tookon France, with many Springboksupporters routing for the Frenchand hoping for an upset.

To their dismay, New Zealandfought back after what had seemeda struggle for the Kiwis in the first10 minutes.

New Zealand at full time had ascore 37-17.

Last Tuesday, Italy played Rus-sia, beating thebears 53-17,while onWednesday Tonga beat Japan 31-18.On Friday, Australia annihilated

the United States with a score of67-5, and on Saturday Englandhanded out a similar beating to Ro-mania at 67-3.

In last week’s rugby lesson, we fo-cused on knock-ons, offsides, andforward passes.

This week, People’s Post will clar-ify the mysterious differences be-tween penalty kicks and free kicks,and explain the 22m dropout.

Penalty kickThis is awarded after a serious in-

fringement. Offenders are requiredto retreat 10m while the opposingteam is given the opportunity to re-start play unopposed.

Teams will often kick the ball up-field and out of bounds to gain afield advantage. When they do this,play is restarted as a lineout at thepoint where the ball went out ofbounds.

If in range, the team with the pen-alty may attempt a kick at the posts,

worth three points.Finally, the penalty-taking play-

ers may simply tap the ball with afoot and run with it.

Free kickThis is given for minor infringe-

ments, such as a foot up in thescrum.

A free kick is just like a penaltykick, except it cannot be taken di-rectly at goal, and if it goes to touch,the other team is awarded the ballfor the lineout.

22m dropoutAfter an unsuccessful penalty

kick, play is usually restarted by adrop kick (executed by allowing theball to hit the ground before kickingit) on the part of the penalty-at-tempting team from the 22m line.

• On Friday, SA takes on Samoaat 09:30. Next week People’s Postwill focus on a rugby mark andhand-offs. RUGBY GURU: Sports reporter Lynn Prins. Photo: Tammy Petersen
