Aliens runthrough itTARRENLEE HABELGAARN

ALIEN vegetation is ruining the naturallandscape along parts of the Liesbeek Riv-er.

Representatives of Friends of the Liesbeeksay active community involvement will playa vital role in turning the Liesbeek River intoa green belt of indigenous plants.Residents, including volunteers, met in the

parking area off Kildare Road in Claremont onThursday to discuss the way forward.Francine Becker, secretary of Friends of the

Liesbeek, says they need to come up withachievable goals to try and preserve the river.“Wewant people to discuss thematter,” says

Becker “not just take away thingswithout con-sulting.”During a walk along the Liesbeek River,

they identified the changes which could be im-plemented to facilitate the process.The garden at the Vineyard Hotel in Clare-

mont was identified as a prime example ofwhat can be achieved with the Liesbeek River.The garden uses exotic plants in an indige-

nous way.Chris van Zyl, environmental manager and

horticulturist of the hotel, says: “This sectionof the river is canalised and there are no natu-ral banks, but the hotel has landscaped thebanks above the canal using indigenousplants.”Features such as waterfalls and ivy have

helped to soften the cement embankment.Jason Mingo, the Liesbeek River mainte-

nance project manager, explained how a sec-tion of the river bank at the Kildare Roadbridge would be rehabilitated.“We’ll tackle illegal alien plants without re-

moving the big trees. This way we can plantyounger indigenous plants to replace the olderones,” he says.

He says a landscape designer has volun-teeredhis expertise to draft a plan for sustaina-ble rehabilitation of the river banks.Most of the alient plants on the Kildare Road

section of the river are on private properties.The Friends of the Liesbeek urge residents

to contact them and to identify and removethese plants before they cause damage whichcan be prevented.Phil McLean, botanist and vice-chairperson

of theFriends, points out problemswhichhavebeen encountered in the Kildare section of theriver.From the onset the removal of invasive al-

iens from the river banks was identified as apriority.An aim is for the Friends and homeowners

to organise a joint clean-up operation duringwhich litter and invasive plant matter will beremoved.Paradise Park was put forward as a stellar

example of how the neighbouring communitycame together to rid the recreational facilityof unwanted vegetation.McLean says: “Many wild animals are to be

found in certain areas of the Liesbeek River,for example porcupines and Cape clawless ot-ters.”Being a biodiversity-rich area, McLean em-

phasises that removing too much vegetationcould be detrimental to the wild life.The overflowing of the river was also ad-

dressed at the recent public meeting.Becker says: “Rivers are supposed to over-

flow. The problem is that people are not sup-pose to build in the floodline.”The upper uncanalised section along the riv-

er in Bishopscourt and Fernwood was identi-fied as an area which needs to be recognisedas an asset to residents on both sides of the riv-er. Placing of stepping stones across the rivercould be a way of joining communities, theFriends say.

TOXIC TALENT: Capetonians again proved they have talentwhenmusicians, singers, dancers, actors and various other acts flocked to the Cape Town Convention Centre for theSA’s Got Talent auditions at the weekend. The show, which premieres on e.tv on Thursday30August, sees judges Shado Twala, Ian vonMemetry and KabeloMabalane travel acrossthe country in search of the most talented South African. Although Lance Landor (pictured) was not given three green lights to progress to the next round, he certainly entertained the crowd with his ‘Melbourne Shuffle’.

What womenwantWhat womenwantDear reader,

National Women’s Day, Thurs-day 9 August, is approached bymost with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, we have causefor celebration when we rememberthe triumphs of women over thepast decades, most notably 9 August1956 when more than 20 000 womenof diverse cultures fearlessly protested pro-posed pass laws by marching on the UnionBuildings in Pretoria.

Women have deservedly assumed theirplace in the business, political and sportingarenas. We’re the quintessential multi-task-ers, adeptly juggling our various roles – ca-

reers, motherhood, marriage, com-munity work...

According to the Inter-Parliamen-tary Union and UN Women, there are“currently 17 countries with womenas head of government, head of stateor both”.

Globally, Thursday will mark the101st International Women’s Day andabroad and locally, thousands of

events are being planned.With all the awareness and altruistic ef-

forts by government and organisations com-mitted to women empowerment, as well asthe power wielded by women today, it is thegreatest irony that as many women are vic-tims of abuse and violence.

However, statistics on violence againstwomen in South Africa is not reliable, be-cause many cases go unreported. This is dueto a number of factors, such as stigma, finan-cial instability, fear of repercussions fromabusive partners, a lack of information andeducation around women’s rights when itcomes to reporting abuse, and limited to noresources for escaping abuse.

There is also the “system”, such as the proc-esses and red tape involved in filing for di-vorce, and the complexities of the DomesticViolence Act. Many women can testify howthey’ve been sent back home to further abuse,in the name of “getting both sides of the sto-ry” before divorce becomes an option.

During my stint as a court reporter, I wouldforce myself to listen dispassionately to thetrials about women who had been assaulted,and nearly killed, by their partners.

The women had been kidnapped, locked up,beaten with concrete objects, stabbed...

My intended disconnection was twofold, Ireasoned; firstly, professional and secondly,to distance myself from my life experiencesand that of others I care about.

As a reporter, I had been trained to be objec-tive and report the facts; but my training didnot extend to my humanity and it became im-possible for me to detach as I looked at thewomen painfully testifying against the menthey had once loved and trusted.

The tragedy was that most of the mencharged with assaulting “their women”, ap-peared unaffected, emotionally void.

Lift club offers a different approachA NEW online lift club has beenlaunched in South Africa. It is freeto join.

The founders say Liftshare SouthAfrica is a mission-driven social en-terprise, which seeks to make a dif-ference in the way South Africanstravel and interact with each other.

Liftshare South Africa is operatedby Patrick Hebbard and ThozamileJavu.

Hebbard says: “Liftshare’s mainaim is to help people to travel moresustainably by sharing their carjourney. Via our online network, wematch people with similar journeys,

enabling them to save money, re-duce their carbon footprint, makethe world a better place, and havefun while doing it.”

Liftshare SouthAfrica is affiliatedwith liftshare.com, the world’s larg-est liftsharing network. The localwebsite is therefore able to rely ona tried and tested system, whichmakes registering, and searching forjourney matches easy and safe.

The benefits of liftsharing include:. It savesmoney (reduced fuel and

vehicle costs).. Reduced pollution from car

emissions.

. It gives you company on yourtrip.

. It can reduce local traffic con-gestion.

. It can save you time.

. It can be safer (having companyif you breakdown).

. You can make new friends andmeet your neighbours.

Hebbard and Javu are passionateabout improving social and environ-mental conditions in South Africa.

They aim to make liftsharing away of life for as many South Afri-cans as possible.

DON’T DO IT: Ryan Africa believesdrunk people should use alternativetransport. “It is clear that, with thecurrent percentage, they are stilldrinking and that won’t stop, even ifthe percentage is lowered.”

DROP IT: Zandile Qumza agrees the percentage should be decreased. “It is goodthat the percentage will be lowered, butit should be 0.0 because drunk drivingkills a lot of innocent people on theroads.”

GREAT IDEA: Andries Burger believes the percentage should belowered. “If one would not drinkthey would know how to drive onthe roads. Drunk driving is dangerous to sober road users.”

DRINKING KILLS: Rachel Konig saysshe has bad memories of alcohol. “Ihad a friend who was killed in an accident caused by a drunk driver. Nobodywho has had a drink should be allowedto drive. No percentage should be allowed.”

ALCOHOL CHANGES PEOPLE: LynneVester says the behaviour differs between a sober and intoxicated person.“When a person is drunk they are completely different. There should be notdrinking and driving at all. The percentage should be 0.0”

A PROPOSED amendment tothe national road trafficamendment bill could see thelegal alcohol limit reducedfrom 0.05 to 0.02 grams.

The Road Traffic ManagementCorporation’s Ashref Ismail saysalcohol is a major factor in roaddeaths.

More than 65% of all major fa-tal crashes are attributed to alco-hol consumption.

The bill is open for public com-ment until Saturday 18 August.People’s Post readers shared theirviews with Luzuko Zini andTarren-Lee Habelgaarn.

OPPOSITION to the proposed shop-ping mall development at PrincessVlei continues as groups rally to savethe wetlands.

On Saturday various oppositiongroups,which forms thePrincessVlei Fo-rum (PVF), gathered to discuss the wayforward.The Forum met at the weekly Jolly

Carp Organic Market, which neighboursthe vlei, to discuss plans to launch anoth-er petition signing to oppose the develop-ment. But PVF claims they are still beingkept in the dark about what will happenat the vlei.It has been a tug-of-war between devel-

opment and conservation since develop-ers Insight Property first submitted plansto develop the City of Cape Town ownedland in 1998.The proposed development entails a

9090m² shopping mall and 100m² taxirank, leaving only a 30m buffer strip ofland for recreation purposes at the wa-ter’s edge.The City initially approved the pro-

posed development on condition of an en-vironmental impact assessment (EIA)and public participation process (PPP)for the rezoning of the land from publicopen space to business.Several objections during the PPP, as

well as questions regarding the findingsof theEIA led to ahalt in the process,with

the allocated time for the Record of Deci-sion (ROD) lapsing.In November the City’s Spatial Plan-

ning, Environment and Land Use Man-agement Committee (Spelum) turneddown the developer’s application for theextension of the rezoning.The developers, in turn, appealed to the

MEC for Environmental Affairs and De-velopment Planning Anton Bredell, whoapproved the application for the land tobe rezoned from public open space tobusiness in April.PVF chairpersonPhillipBamsays they

are currently in talks with the City to dis-cuss the way forward.“Right nownobody from the provincial

Department of Environmental Affairs isgiving us an answer as to what will hap-pen.“Thepublic canvoice their opinionand

join our campaign of saving the Prin-cess,” Bam said.“We also want to get the mayor in-

volved – people want to know what Patri-cia de Lille has to say about the proposeddevelopment.”Members of theForumare adamant the

signing of a petition will not only createpublic awareness – especially in areasacross the metropole – but also be a clearindication that people do not want the de-velopment to go ahead.Petrina Roberts says: “So far we have

had positive feedback and we will contin-ue doing so until we get assurance thatPrincess Vlei will stay as is.”

Beauty has ‘green’ heartBeauty has ‘green’ heartTARRENLEE HABELGAARN

HER love for the environment has paid offfor a Rondebosch woman who is a finalistin the Miss Earth SA competition.

Lara Potgieter’s hard work and dedicationto the environment has led to her becomingone of 12 national finalists in the programme.The UCT English literature graduate feels

a deep connection to the environment and itssustainability since her return from a volun-teer programme with Global Vision Interna-tional.Potgieter – along with volunteers from

around the world – worked onMkwiro Islandin Kenya capturing information on variousexotic wild life, including dolphins and mon-keys.After this great experience, she says, shede-

cided to enter Miss Earth SA to make a con-tributing difference to our environment.Calling it “an amazing platform”, Potgieter

says the credibility of the Miss Earth SA pro-gramme has “really helped me become recog-nised in the conservation society”.The programme is a social and environ-

mental ambassador programme for womenaged 18 to 26.Miss Earth SA this year celebrates 10 years

of environmental advocacy. Part of their ex-tensive programme is focused on develop-ment of young women and children.Miss Earth SA national director Catherine

Constantinides says candidates have to“leave with more (knowledge) than she ar-rived, (and which) she can impart and sharewith those around her and the ability to em-power others through her growth”.Potgieter says the first round consists of

castings and interviews in which they had akeynote presentation with environmentalgroup Green Times and the SA Foundationfor the Conservation of Coastal Birds (San-cob). “I love penguins soworkingwithSancobhas been amazing,” says Potgieter, grinning.The regional finalists are chosen based on

the projects entrants have done.For Potgieter it has been a phenomenal

journey. “I have been able to work on somereally cool projects and have met (many) dif-ferent people.”Since being part of the programme she has

planted 80 trees herself and has helped plantmore than 1000 trees around Cape Town andin Zambia.She has also assisted with meerkat conser-

vation in Oudtshoorn, aided in beach clean-up operations, uprooted alien vegetation,helped with stationery drives in townshipsand food drives with U-turn in Mowbray.She has worked with the Amy Biehl Foun-

dation and the Cart Horse Protection Associ-ation, for which she collects funds by buyinghorse jars for herself and friends to fill upwith their bronze coins.A vegan, even her lifestyle is dedicated to

helping the animals and environment. “Icould never see myself eating anything thatcomes from an animal,” says Potgieter, whoadds she “only uses” vegan make-up andskin care products.She says all the products in the range are-

animal-friendly and none are tested on ani-mals. Even the brushes are pro-animals.“Animal hair brushes freak me out.”She will now be heading into the final

round of the competition, during which con-testantswill be judged on their projects, inter-views, talent, evening and beach wear.

Children take belly-full of free pizzasJUANITA WILLIAMS

FAST food delivered to their door brought smiles to thefaces of dozens of eager children at separate venues.

The children at the Marsh Memorial Home, in Ronde-bosch, clustered around Waheed Isaacs, the owner of St El-mo’s, in Belvedere Road, Claremont, as he handed out slicesof pizza on Thursday.Isaacs, who lives in Plumstead, says he loves children and

when Isaacs, Niewenhuizen and Richard Farquahar rockedup with 21 piping hot pizzas to hand out.He says 50 children live in a cottage system at the home.

Set in large, green fields, where children can play safely andrun about, the buildings date back to the 1900s. “But theseold buildings need a lot of maintenance work,” he said.The homewas started by the Reverend EdwardMarsh and

his wife Janie in 1901, originally for orphans. Today it is amulticultural child and youth care centre, which offers ho-listic care in the form of youth development programmes,to ensure the emotional, physical, spiritual and educationalwellbeing of the children.It aims to provide a loving, caring home where children

can be nurtured, counselled and guided towards being reu-nited with their families and communities.The home, supported by theMethodist Church, is situated

on part of an old farm once stretched across the M5.The children, aged between four and 18, attend local

schools and are referred to the home through the courts.Moolman is keen to attract more people to become host

parents to take the children for weekends and holidays. Pro-spective host families are prescreened.Anyone interested can call social worker Lira Greeff

Transport studyis on the cardsTHE City of Cape Townhas awarded the tender toconduct a careful studyfor the integrated Metro-rail services.

This includes the trans-fer of the Metrorail subsi-dy functions to the City ofCape Town.

The study will fall inline with the City’s plansto create an integratedpublic transport systemcomprising of passengerrail, bus rapid transit(MyCiTi), scheduled busservices, mini-bus taxisand non-motorised trans-port, taking around ninemonths to a year to com-plete.

Rail services are re-garded as the backbone ofthe City’s integrated pub-lic transport service andalso plays a fundamentalrole in achieving theCity’s economic and so-cial inclusion impera-tives.

It is extremely impor-tant for the City, and forits residents, that there isa substantial improve-ment in the quality, fre-quency, reliability andsafety of this service.

It is against this back-drop that the City ap-proached the National

Minister of Transportlast year with a view toconducting a due dili-gence study of Metrorailand its operations inCape Town.

“This is simply the firststep in the process of en-suring that we put thecurrent fragmented andinconvenient publictransport system behindus and facilitate the ush-ering in of a system thatworks, that is safe, that isreliable and that is com-fortable,” said MayoralCommittee Member forTransport, Roads andStormwater, councillorBrett Herron.

The City wants to be ina position to make an in-formed decision on re-questing for the transferof the rail subsidy, and tobe able to present a viablebusiness plan for the fu-ture management of pas-senger rail.

The study will go a longway to providing a de-tailed picture of the cur-rent status of the publictransport system and willprovide a clear indicationof what the prioritiesshould be, what resourc-es are required and howlong the process will take.

Army to train guardsArmy to train guardsLAILA MAJIET

COMMUTERS have welcomed Metro-rail’s plan to have rail security guardstrained by the SouthAfricanNational De-fence Force.

Hundreds of Metrorail guards will betrained by the army to better deal with crimeon trains and at stations.

Commuters sayabeefedupsecurity systemis in order, but they question how this willimprove general services which should beMetrorail’s main concern.

Commuter Ezelle Solomons (22) says whileit is a good idea to have the army train securi-ty guards, the army is needed elsewhere.

“There was so much hesitancy to bring inthe army in gang-infested areas like Laven-der Hill, yet the army can be brought in totrain security guards,” she says.

“I travel on the northern line. There is apolice station just metres away from the Bel-lville train station, but not even that is a de-terrent for criminals. There is a need formore security guards in carriages and on thetrain stations.”

Mthuthuzeli Swartz, the regional managerof Metrorail Western Cape, says the defenceforce will bring superior skills to the trainingof additional resources.

Responding to questions of clarification onthe new recruits, he indicates that the newtrainees will be shared across the region andtheir deployment based on needs analyses.

“The guards will be deployed at all stationsfor the duration of our operational hours,” hesays.

“Proactive deployment is based on securityintelligence and reactive measures in re-sponse to reported crime incidents. Mostcriminals are opportunists, as result inci-

dents are mostly random and often a spill-over from the surrounds. We continue to col-laborate with the appropriate provincial andlocal law enforcement agencies to collective-ly address our joint priority of crime preven-tion.”

He explains the Western Cape region com-prises of 481 km of railway tracks, 122 sta-tions, 1 095 train carriages and 732 000 passen-ger journeys each weekday.

Swartz confirms crime has dropped by40 % over the last year.

“On average we record between 15 and 23incidents of crime against commuters permonth,” he says.

Although crime is down, the rate of vandal-ism remains a concern in the central servicearea.

“We anticipate that the additional resourc-es will also assist in restoring order to the railsystem through enforcement of bylaws (no

smoking, vagrancy, littering, illegal trading)as well as operational safety,” he says.

However, another commuter, Donna Lu-kas, who travels to work by train every daysays Metrorail needs to get its priorities inorder. “Protecting us from crime should notbe their first priority. We rely on trains to getus to our destinations on time. Trains are of-ten delayed. Sometimes commuters are noteven given any reason why trains are run-ning late. Trains are then overloaded andthere are no guards around at this time whenpeople arehangingout of thedoors,” she says.

Metrorail encourages commuters to reportsuch incidents.

Swartz says Metrorail appeals to custom-ers to be proactive against opportunisticcrime by being vigilant and keeping the nec-essary safety tips in mind.

Those travelling by train are encouraged tokeep valuables such as cellphones and jewel-lery out of sight, move to fuller coaches andstay in a group.

Commuters arealso encouraged to immedi-ately report incidents or suspicious behav-iour by calling any of the railway police offic-es. To report crimeat train stations inor closeto Retreat call (021) 710 5129/0.

A woman’s worthSHE is woman, wife, mother, sister, aunt,friend. Matriarch.

Her names are endless, but what she repre-sents is the glue that binds family and friends.

Without her, worlds collide, families disin-tegrate, semblance of peace and cooperationdissimilate, siblings fight and grow apart.

She offers cohesion, a nurturing touch, ashoulder to cry on, soothing advice, a com-forting embrace.

‘She’ is a car, a boat, an aeroplane, but morethan an inanimate object, ‘she’ is MotherEarth. She breathes life and lets it grow – hersure hand ever present to guide, admonishand protect.

Womanhood is more than the spikes of herstiletto, the colour of her hair, the cup size ofher bra, her cooking skills.

Womanhood is defined beyond her physicaland professional abilities.

A woman who dwells in safety representsone who is the object of respect. A woman whois free to study and work is manifestation ofa free society. A woman who chooses to raiseher children and make a home earns her liv-ing.

What does gender equality mean? Do wom-en really want to be equal to men? And whodecides this? How is this equality deter-mined?

Gender equality transcends the borders ofincome. Earning power does not change howmen view women. Are they the weaker sex?Is there such a thing? Is this determined bywhether a woman can change the tyre of acar?

No.Is she any less of a woman if she can change

a tyre? And if she does it faster and with moreskill than a man, does she lose any of her femi-ninity?

Women’s Day on Thursday is a chance forall to examine their personal views of women.

Should she remain the persona society de-mands? Or, if she somehow ‘fails’, does thismake her less accepted as a human?

You decide.

Wetlands: different approachLAST month saw Cape Town mayor Patricia deLille officially open the newly-established TableBay Nature Reserve, uniting numerous wet-lands under one banner – ensuring safety, bird-watching, water sports, hiking and conserva-tion.

At Rietvlei an eco-friendly information officeserves all the components – Rietvlei, Diep Rivi-er, Milnerton Race Course Reserve and Zoarv-lei.

Why then is the approach to the False BayWetlands so different? Component parts – riv-ers and vleis – stretch from Kenilworth toPhilippi, from Bergvliet to Pollsmoor, to LangeVlei in Retreat then on to Princess and LittlePrincess Vlei, to Zeekoei, Ronde and Sand vleis,and further to the Strandfontein sewage works.

The recently launched People’s Plan – which

redefines the area in proximity to Princess Vleiand sees the False Bay Wetlands as a whole injust the way that the City has laudably createdTable Bay Nature Reserve – also incorporatesa hike among a number of the wetlands in thevicinity of Princess Vlei.

There is no shortage of ideas. In the righthands funding would arise for a project that isat once both sociologically and environmental-ly appropriate. It would be beneficial to plan ina considered way, develop in stages and wait forfunding, rather than to rush ahead without ade-quate thought for the future, possibly creatingineradicable consequences, which is what thecommercial mall planned for Princess Vleiwould be.MEA LASHBROOKEBergvliet

Disgracedby protestorsWHAT a completely irresponsibleeditorial, condoning the destruc-tion of public property by peoplewho have never contributed tobuilding anything.

This was organised and orches-trated by the ANC to try and sowdiscord in the Western Cape, andthe City is quite right to take themto court.

This is the best run province inthe country, so what is the com-plaint? Somebody isn’t gettingsomething for nothing!

It is disgraceful to portray pro-testers as outraged. I am outragedthat people think by destroyingpublic property – (which) I and oth-er taxpayers paid for – that this willimprove their lot.

I am outraged that most of myproperty taxes are diverted to buildinfrastructure people only want todestroy.

Nobody is entitled to anythingthey don’t pay for and protestershave never contributed in any wayto their community.

John F Kennedy once said: “Asknot what your country can do foryou, but what you can do for yourcountry.”BRIAN HOAREPlumsteadPeople’s Post respects the right of eve-ry reader to their opinion.This news-paper aims to reflect what is happen-ing in our broad readership anddoes not condone violence or vandal-ism by anyone.

Your SMSes. Thanks and well done to the Claremont PostalDepot for successfully delivering an envelopeeven though it was incorrectly addressed. Ani

. Rental in the province is too expensive. It’sdifficult to open businesses, because the biggestexpense is rent – that’s why job creation is soslow.

. We need to stop being negative and believe,for once, that it is possible for things to stay“calm” as it is. We can believe and trust thatGod has already brought a change and He isfaithful and able to complete what He has start-

ed. Let’s show compassion towards each otherfrom today.

. The City of Cape Town wants to value prop-erties – which they do not own – every two yearsto milk us homeowners “dry”, while they enjoymassive salary increases.

. Do we really wish to be informed by youreditor of her holiday stresses or vacation activi-ties? Boring and trite.

Discrepancy in payouts a disgraceI AM horrified to read in disabled athleteswill receive lessmoney thanable-bodied ath-letes (“Should SA athletes be rewardedequally?”, People’s Post, 31 July) . If any-

Sponsor the poor and destituteThe word “sponsor” seems to dominate ournews media. According to the dictionary, asponsor is a person or group that assumesresponsibility for another person or group.Amateur research indicates the benefici-

aries of financial sponsorships seem to bechoir festivals, fashion shows featuring lo-cal talent and sporting events.An organisation can spend as it thinks fit,

but one cannot helpwonder that themillionsspent benefit an individual or a team withlimited members and who cannot be classi-fied as poor or destitute.It is us, the masses, who spend our hard-

earned monies at the till.

A person would have thought the loud ap-peals from NGO’s who are doing vital com-munity work – whose doors are about to beclosed; organisations and good- hearted indi-viduals who survive onmeagre donations tofeed poor, hungry communities – wouldhave reactivated businesses and organisa-tions to redirect financial sponsorships.The question to be asked of business

which are struggling or closing is whetherthey are active sponsors to the poor.The next time you are happy with your

profits, share your happiness by sponsoringthe poor.KEITH ALFRED ADOLPH BLAKE

DancingDancingwithwith twotwo leftleft legslegsTARRENLEE HABELGAARN

DOG lovers can now bond with their petsin a whole new way – by dancing withthem.

The club, called Dancing with Dogs, is cur-rently based in Constantia. And, for thosewith, er, two left legs, there are dance catego-ries such as Golden Oldies, Sassy Senior andHandy Dandy.DancingwithDogs Cape Town is a club that

provides a platform for a different kind ofbonding experience between dog owners andtheir pets. Club member Yvonne Zwiegelaar– who regularly competes in local as well asinternational competitions with her dogs –feels this is a fun way for owners to connectwith their pets. She says: “It is a sport thatdogs and owners of all ages and sizes can en-joy.”The eldest member in their club is 60 years

old and in Johannesburg there is a 70 year oldthat competes.

“One of my dogs is 12 years old so we com-pete in the Golden Oldies category,” Zwiege-laar says with a giggle.The club was started in 2009 and annually

welcomes new members.There are two competitions per year which

are referred to as titling events. In theseevents their are various categories in whichowners and dogs and participate.Beginners and advanced groups are judged

separately. Zwiegelaar saysoneof the reasonsthis is such an effective platform is becausethere is no specific obedience training re-quired. “Mydogs don’t always listen tomebutwill hang around with me,” she says.This aspect is important as the dancing is

made up of obedience and tricks choreo-graphed to your dogs strengths. However, theHandy Dandy category caters to owners ordogs with disabilities.Every year, one person per country is invit-

ed to take part in the big Dancing with Dogscompetition held in London, which accordingto Zwiegelaar is a spectacular experience.

Hammies clinch nailbiterLIAM MOSES

HAMILTONS kept their slim hopes of vic-tory in the Super League A alive whenthey came from behind to beat UCT atGroote Schuur on Saturday.

The Sea Point-based side trailed their hostsfor majority of the match, but took the leadin the 73rd minute and hung on to claim fourlog points.The victory leaves Hammies in second

place on the league table, behind Durban-ville-Bellville and ahead of Maties.Hamiltons’ head coach Anton Moolman

said his side would be ready to capitalise ifany of their rivals dropped points in the re-maining games.

“Last week Durb-Bell lost to Tygerberg,which was huge upset. It just shows that thisleague is extremely tough and you can’t takeany team lightly,” said Moolman.“Our victory keeps us in touch and, if the

results don’t go the way they should at thetop, we get closer. We have to keep applyingpressure.”Saturday’s match was a pressure cooker,

with the first half characterised by miserlydefence and neither team finding any pene-tration.The home side opened the scoring with a

penalty by flyhalf Ross Jones-Davies in thethirdminute andHammies scrumhalf DustinJinka replied with a penalty only a minutelater. Jones-Davies added three more penal-ties and Jinka slotted another to take the

teams into the halftime break at 12-6.The game opened up significantly in the

second half, and UCT stretched their leadwhen Jones-Davies was put into a gap on theright wing, racing over the tryline to score.However, he failed to convert.Hamiltons scored in the 63rd minute when

lock forward Tiaan Fick barged over fromclose range. Jinka added the extras to narrowthe deficit. They crossed the chalk line againin the 73rd minute.UCT had two opportunities to regain the

lead, but both Jones-Davies penalty attemptssailed wide of the posts.Moolman praised his side’s resilience. “We

have had a long, nearly four-and-a-half weekbreak, and there was always going to be a bitof rust,” said Moolman.

“UCT had a goodwin against False Bay lastweek, so we knew we were going to be upagainst it. I’m really proud of the guys’ char-acter they showed today – they in there andbagged four points away from home.”Moolman’s team went into this weekend’s

round of game in third place, but Durb-Bell’slast-gasp, 23-21 victory overMaties, saw themmove above of the Stellenbosch side.Hammies now trail Durb-Bell by 14 points,

but have played one less game and two morethan Maties.Meanwhile, False Bay suffered their sev-

enth defeat in a row, losing 37-27 against Bel-har away from home.Bay and their southern suburbs neigh-

bours Villager now look certain to be relegat-ed from the Super League A this season.
