AGREEMENT

Cape Town gets film boostNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

An agreement between the film industryand the national home affairs depart-ment has smoothed the way for inter-

national business.The agreement nowmakes it easier for in-

ternational film teams to travel to the coun-try, explains Monica Rorvik, head of FilmPromotion atWesgro, theWestern Cape’s of-ficial tourism, trade and investment promo-tion agency.The agreement takes into consideration

two types of travellers to South Africa: theoversight group – which consists of client,agency and production company personnel– and the specialist group –which comprisesof actors, models, directors, technicians andart departments.“According to the agreement, the over-

sight group from visa exempt countries willnowbe able to travel to SouthAfricawithouthaving to pre-apply at a South African Em-bassy.“The specialist group will still need to ap-

ply inadvance to theSouthAfricanEmbassybut the requirements have been stream-lined,” Rorvik says.“We are delighted with the outcome

reached with the Department of Home Af-fairs. The new agreement is a positive for usand goes a long way in facilitating the pro-motion and growth of the film industry.”The Cape Film Commission has also wel-

comed the announcement, says CEO DenisLille.The film industry in Cape Town is quite

a lucrative industry for local entrepreneurs,small businesses and the local economy,says Tourism, Events and Economic Devel-opment acting executive director Teral Cul-len.“This booming industry ensures valuable

skills transfer from international crews toour local crews, which is critical to the fu-ture sustainability of the industry,” she

says. Last year, 10 309 film bookings weremade, with 6 741 permits being issued for var-ious shoots, Cullen says.“In the current tough global economic envi-

ronment, the country needs to remain com-petitive in as many sectors as possible.“The film production sector adds value to

a wide range ofadditional sectors in the local economy bycreating a demand for products and services–withparticularly strong links to the tourismsector.“The industry also showcases Cape Town,

its diversity of locations, technical film ca-pacity and talent and addresses seasonali-ty.”“Cape Town is a popular filming location

offering good natural lighting and provid-ing value-addedmarketing and investmentcollateral for the city and the country,” shefurther explains.Cullen also say the local film industry

has over the past three years created morethan 35 000 jobs and contributed approxi-mately R5bn to the economy.“This is a highly competitive industry

globally, with each destination jostling toattract more film companies to theirshores,” she says.“Not only Cape Town, but South Africa,

needs to continually ensure that it remainsan attractive destination for location film-ing in order to maintain its internationalreputation.”

The 2014/2015 festive season will godown as one of the safest on record forthe City’s beaches.

This as the number of drowning inci-dents dropped significantly whencompared with the previous festive sea-son.Three drowning incidents were record-

ed on beaches for the festive season, be-tween September 2014 and January 2015,compared to 18 drowning incidents overthe same period in 2013/2014.With thousands of people on the City’s

beaches over the festive season, this is anextraordinary feat, says City of Cape TownSport, Recreation and Amenities Depart-ment director Gert Bam.

“We are pleased that the combined ef-forts of all role players have yielded suchpositive results.The department’s extensive summer

safety campaign helped to educate mem-bers of the public on basic safety tips to ob-serve when on the beaches.In addition, law enforcement officers

have been highly visible and have confis-cated a substantial amount of alcohol,which helped to reduce the number of inci-dents associated with intoxication,” hesays.The decrease in the number of drowning

incidents is also reflective of the quality ofthe lifeguard service provided by Lifesav-ing Western Province and their associated

lifesaving clubs – particularly over theweekends around Christmas and NewYear’s Day when a number of people wereassisted by the lifeguards on duty, Bamsays.“Despite the drastic drop, every drown-

ing incident is one toomany and each inci-dent is documentedandreviewed to ensurethat further precautions are taken to pre-vent such incidents from happening in thefuture,” he says.“Members of the public are reminded to

swim only in designated swimming areasindicated by flags Law Enforcement offic-ers patrolling beaches to assist in ensur-ing that people swim only in designated ar-eas.“We ask that all people respect the in-

structions of both lifeguards and Law En-forcement officers and also report any ir-

responsible behaviour in thewater, such as people swimming off therocks, so that they can keep people safe.”Beachgoers should keep the following

safety tips in mind:• Always swim between the red and yel-

low flags. These indicate safe, supervisedswimming areas. An area outside of theseflags could have dangerous rip currentsand tides.• Only swim in areas where other people

are present. Swim in groups and advisefriends or family when you go swimming.• If you find yourself in trouble, raise

your arm and wave to attract the life-guard’s attention. Try not to panic, as thiswill make you tired.• If you see someone in trouble in the sea,

alert the lifeguards or find trained help. Donot put your own life in danger as well.

MYCITI

Demolitions rile residentsASRTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Thedemolitionof twohouses inPlumstead to make way forthe proposed MyCiti route

has gone ahead, despite an outcryfrom residents to halt the process.

Last week, residents reportedthe demolitions of two propertiesin Rotherfield Road were under-way.They claim they were told thatthere are more than 30 housesalong South Road which are to bedemolished.

A Plumstead resident, whoasked to remain anonymous, saysthe effect that the whole process ishaving on residents, especially theelderly is sad.

“They are worried about wheretheywill endup.One resident,wholives in Waterbury Road was inCrescent Clinic for three weeksdue to the stress she has experi-enced,” she says.

She further says that “even littlekids” are askingwhy they (theCityof Cape Town) are breaking downthe houses.

“They have also asked me if thisis what is going to happen to theirhouses too? It’s a sad and verydreaded reality,” she adds.

The resident says she is not ableto concentrate on her daily dutiesdue to the stress she is experienc-ing.

“I am too busy concentrating onthewholeprocess. My familyhard-

ly spends time with me as I attendcommunity meetings most of thetime,” she says.

Councillor Brett Herron, Maycocommittee member for transport,confirmed that the houses are be-ingdemolished tomakeway for theMyCiti route.

He, however, could not saywhenthe demolition was approved andwhen it is set to be completed.

Herron says demolition isplanned for properties at 1 and 3Rotherfield Road, 1 LympleighRoad and 16 Waterbury Road,Plumstead, which are unoccupiedvacant City-owned houses.

“These properties belong to theCity and are unoccupied and va-cant and as such the City is withinits right to demolish these vacanthouses at any time it wishes to doso,” he says.

According to Herron, the trans-port department submitted a re-port about Phase 2 of MyCiTi toSubcouncils along the entireLansdowne/Wetton Corridor andwill be presenting the “bigger pic-ture” to the councillors within thenext few weeks.

He says the presentation willcontain the public participationprogramme for communities whowill be affected by the two projectsthat are prioritised at this stage.The roadworks in Stock Road inPhilippi andStrandfonteinRoad inOttery.

“ The City will be engaging withthese affected communities (Ot-

tery and Philippi) in February2015,” Herron says.

He further says a project of thismagnitude will take years to com-plete. The public participationprocesswill therefore be rolled outto communities in other areasalong the Lansdowne/Wetton Cor-ridor in accordance with and asthe construction projects forPhase 2 progress.

“The public participation proc-ess for the community inWynbergwill only commence at a laterstage, pending the progress of theother construction projects thatare related to Phase 2,” he says.

Herron explains that the reasonwhy the tenants in the City-ownedhouses in South Road have re-ceived the termination of leases atthis stage already is because ofthe lengthy processes thatmay un-fold, should the tenants refuse tomove.

Residents living in WaterburyRoad claim there is one propertythe City does not own.

Councillor Ian Neilson, execu-tivedeputymayorandMayco com-mittee member for finance, saystheCityhasnot obtained this prop-erty.

Neilson did not answer ques-tions aboutwhether or not the Citywould expropriate, but said: “Allendeavours will be made to reachan agreement with the owners onthe terms and conditions of thepurchase, including the price thattheCitywill pay for the immovable

property, subject to executive ap-proval”.

Askedwhatwould happen if resi-dents refuse to vacate, Herron says:“In terms of the lease agreementwith the tenants, the City has theright to terminate the lease on two

months’ written notice. Should thetenant fail to vacate the property atthe requested date of termination,the City will be forced to follow theprocesses set out in the Preventionof Illegal Eviction from andUnlaw-ful Occupation of Land”.

TOURISM

New app gives visitorsinsight into Cape winelandsA new app will have you sipping away

at some of Cape Town’s finest wines.The app, created by consumer en-

gagement agency iKineo, aims to maxim-ise the experience of tourists visiting thewinelands.The free app offers a powerful, sophisti-

cated search engine, giving the end userthe perfect guide to the winelands, ex-plains iKineo’s Marthinus Botha.“You can search by keywords, region

and filters andwhether you are looking fora wine farm with a fireplace for winterwarmth or a family-friendly, award-win-ning restaurant in a specific area, the appwill give you exactly what you need,”Botha says. Each wine farm’s profile pagein the app, called Sideways, contains eve-rything from opening times to availablewines and GPS co-ordinates that link toyour smartphone’s own navigation soft-ware.“Sideways guides visitors to instantly

find the perfect adventure, while simulta-neously boosting the profile of the wine-lands as a world class destination to localand international tourists alike,” Bothasays.The app will allow visitors to discover

the Cape Winelands with ease, believesJudy Lain, chief marketing officer forWesgro, the Western Cape’s official Tour-ism Trade and Investment Promotionagency.“Theapp isnot onlydesigned todiscover

wine farms and restaurants. It gives tour-ists information needed to discover adven-ture activities like running or cyclingtrails or the best picnic or sundownerspots,” she says.The app is currently available for down-

load on iPhone devices and will be availa-ble onGoogle Play forAndroid devices ear-ly this year.Cape Town Tourism executive market-

ing manager Velma Corcoran says the

trend of accessing information on mobiledevices is drastically increasing amongtravellers and creating useful apps to meetthis growing need is crucial.“This app will hopefully make the wine-

lands even easier to navigate and explore,all at the touch of a button,” she says.“Wehave seen people accessing the Cape

Town Tourism website from a mobile de-vice increase by almost 100% year on yearand this trend is consistent with what oth-er tourism boards are experiencing global-ly.”With this in mind, Cape Town Tourism

has announced a number of digital initia-tives to keep upwith the trends. The organ-isation is currently working on a mobileapp – the first one of its kind created by adestination marketing agency – that willbe populated with experiences and travelideas recommended by locals only.CEO Enver Duminy says: “A global

trend in travel is for visitors towant direct,

authentic experiences; immersing them-selves in local culture. There is no betterguide than a local who can share all thebest ideas about what to do and where togo. We are going out to locals and askingthem for their suggestions sowe can curatethat into a central resource for our visi-tors.”Cape Town Tourism also recently

launched a new membership communica-tor widget. The app gives all Cape TownTourism members up to the minute newson tourism-related matters, includingnews updates, invitations to events, safetyalerts and research reports.Corcoran also says research has shown

that soonmore timewill be spent onmobiledevices and 90% of users in South Africaand Nigeria are accessing Facebookthrough their mobile devices. “A mobilestrategy should not be seen as a channel ortechnology but as away of thinking and ap-proaching all new initiatives”.

Elderly woman hurtASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

As the festive season drawsto a close, the new yearstarted off on a bad foot for

one Claremont resident.The 62-year oldwomanwas left

with severe injuries after shewas robbed and thrown out of ataxi near Main Road, Kenil-worth.Warrant Officer Silvino Dav-

ids, spokesperson for WynbergPolice Station, says the incidentoccurred when the womanboarded a taxi in ClaremontMain Road at 17:00 travelling to-wards Wynberg.“The victim boarded the taxi

where there was another womanseated and the only other personwas the taxi driver,” he says.According to the report, the

taxi driver went off route.“The victim says she noticed

he was going off route and slow-ing down in Thomas Road. Thisis when the taxi driver turned tothe victim and yanked her chainoff her neck,” Davids says.He adds that the victim was

then pushed out of the movingtaxi by the other woman.“She sustained injuries to her

head for which she received sixstitches. She also hurt her el-bows and has multiple woundson her face from her fall,” hesays.Davids says the woman man-

aged to get help from a residentin Thomas Road who assisted bycalling the police and ambu-lance.“The victim was unable to

identify either of the suspects.The case is still under investiga-tion,” he says.He urges the public to avoid

getting into taxiswhere there areonly a few passengers, but torather wait for one filled withmore people.Davids further says that police

were on high alert throughoutthe festive season at shoppingmalls.“We did not have anymajor in-

cidents in the precinct through-out holiday period. However, wedid see a slight increase in housebreak-ins and a decrease in theftout-of motor vehicles,” he says.Police urge residents to always

be aware of their surroundingsand to report suspicious behav-iour.TheWynbergpolice carriedout a number of festive season

policing operations which in-cluded stop and searches, mallpatrols, high visibility foot andvehicle patrols andvehicle checkpoints.“We are glad to report that we

did not experience any majorproblems in our precinct. Wewill continue to urge residentson the importance of reportingsuspicious behaviour and peopleto ensure the safety of all resi-dents, motorists and pedestri-ans,” Davids says.

SAFETY

Swimmers urged tobe on shark alertBeachgoershavebeenwarned tobevigi-

lant for sharksduring the summer sea-son.

This comes as the presence of great whitesharks in the in-shore areas increases thistime of year.

The Fish Hoek shark exclusion net is be-ing deployed and retrieved daily and SharkSpotters are monitoring identified beachesto ensure the safety of all visitors to in-shoreareas, council says in a statement.

Since September, there have been 57shark sightings at beaches monitored bythe Shark Spotters.

There have been 36 sightings at Muizen-berg Corner, seven at Fish Hoek, five atMonwabisi, three at St James, two at KogelBay, two at Glencairn, one sighting at TheHoek in Noordhoek and one at Clovelly.

With the presence of great white sharksat in-shore areas expected to increase overthe summer season, the City of Cape Townis ensuring that the necessary precaution-ary measures are being effected.

Shark Spotters are monitoring identifiedbeaches and the Fish Hoek shark exclu-sionnet is being deployed and retrieved dai-ly.

The Fish Hoek exclusion net has provento be an effective shark safety measure bycreating a physical barrier preventing anysharks from entering the bathing area.

Trials conducted during 2013 and 2014 in-dicated that the risk to marine life remainsvery low and that there are high levels ofpublic support for the exclusion net becom-ing a permanent feature of Fish HoekBeach.

Until March, the Fish Hoek exclusion netwill operate on a daily basis, depending onthe weather.

Weekends, public holidays and schoolholidays will be prioritised.

The exclusion net will not be deployed ifweather conditions (wind and swell) aredeemed to be unsuitable; this will be as-sessed on a daily basis. If weather condi-tions deteriorate over the course of a daywhen the net is already deployed, the netmay be removed as a precautionary meas-ure.

Additionally, if there is a high presenceof whales or other marine mammals in thearea the net will not be deployed. The netwill also not be deployed when trek-nettingis taking place in the area.

If a whale moves into the area while thenet is deployed, the Shark Spotters herd theanimal away from the net and out of the ar-ea, using the exclusion net boat.

This is in accordance with the approvedWhale Disentanglement Strategy and resi-dents and visitors should not be concernedif this occurs.

On days that the exclusion net is de-ployed, the operating hours will be from09:00 to 17:00, and may occasionally be ex-tended to allow for lifesaving training orevents.

The Shark Spotters will keep beach usersinformed via Twitter (@SharkSpotters) andFacebook as to whether the net is deployed.

Surfers are asked to be especially vigilantin the areas between Sunrise Beach and theMacassar Beach area during the spring andsummer months, as research has shownthat shark presence in these waters is ex-tremely common at this time of year.

Furthermore, surfers should be awarethat sightings of great white sharks atNoordhoek beach are common on the daysfollowing a north-west wind.

ALERT: There have been several shark sightings at Muizenberg beach. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

Beach boozingbannedBoozing on city beaches over the festive sea-son has seen City of Cape TownLawEnforce-ment officers impounding alcohol at a rapidrate.

Between Monday 1 December and Satur-day 3 January, officers impounded 9 445 bot-tles of alcohol, amounting to 7 083 litres.

The highest number of bottles (3 520) wasconfiscated in Area East, which stretchesfrom Monwabisi to Gordon’s Bay along theFalse Bay coastline.

Mayoral Committee member for Safetyand Security JP Smith says the number ofconfiscations is about 2 500 bottlesmore thanthe corresponding period last year.

“Like enforcement relating to possessionof drugs, these offences require proactive po-

licing, so the higher number is good newsfrom a policing point of view. It also meansthat more people were left high and dry andfor that we are grateful, because it has hadan impact onother safety aspects –mostnota-bly the reduction in the number of drowningincidents over the peak period.”

BOOZING: Alcohol confiscation on beaches hasincreased this year due to proactive policing.

EDUCATION

Mixed results for matriculantsASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Matriculants across the province cele-brated their success in the NationalSenior Certificate (NSC) exams last

week. TheNSC examination results were re-leased on Tuesday 6 January and the West-ern Cape is the only province where all edu-cation districts have achieved a pass rate ofover 80%.

Norman Henshilwood High Schoolachieved a 100% pass rate.

According to the results, the school ob-tained a 99.3% pass rate in 2013.

While most schools showed a slight dropon their pass rates, Bergvliet High Schoolshowed a slight increase in the 2014 resultswith a 99.5% pass rate. They had a 99.0%pass rate in 2013. The school had 204 pupilswho wrote the exam and 203 passed.

Imizamo Yethu Secondary Schoolachieved a 51.5% pass rate. According to theresults, 262 pupils wrote the examinationsand only 135 achieved passed. Last year thepass rate was 86.3%.

Hout Bay Secondary’s results show a de-crease in the pass rate. In 2013 the pass ratewas 70.3%, while this year it shows a 62.0%pass rate.

Other schools, which includes PlumsteadHigh and South Peninsula, also showed a de-crease in results.

Plumstead High School achieved 98.9%pass rate in 2013 and 88.0% in 2014.

South Peninsula High School had a 100%pass rate in 2013, while this year out of the189 pupils who participated only 181 passed.

The pass rate for 2014 is 95.8%.Wittebome High School also showed a

slight decrease in their examination resultswith a 84.6% pass rate in 2014 and 87.1% in2013.

Cape Academy for Maths Science and

Technology achieved a 94.3% pass rate in2014 compared to 2013’s 98.6% pass rate.

Nationalminister for basic education, An-gie Motshekga, congratulatedWestern Capematriculants in her speech as all districtsachieved above 80% pass rate.

Provincial Minister of education DebbieSchäfer said while the vast majority of can-didates are celebrating their success in theNSC, there are candidates that did not re-ceive the results that they had hoped toachieve.

“The department has, however, informedme that the number of candidates qualifying

for supplementary examinations is over7 000. Thismeans that over 97% of the candi-dates in the province either passed the ex-amination, or qualified to write a supple-mentary examination.”

“This provides these candidates with awonderful opportunity to now pass theirNSC,” she says

Schäfer further explains in all examina-tions, stress and emotions can get to somecandidates, causing them to “slip-up” or notperform their best, therefore, a secondchance to complete the NSC requirementssuccessfully should not be ignored.

“I strongly encourage these candidates tomakeuse of this opportunity andput in theirbest effort to pass it,” she says.

“For the less than 3% of learners who didnot pass their NSC or qualify for a supple-mentary, there is still the opportunity to ap-ply to write the 2015 NSC. I would like to en-courage these candidates to re-apply towritethe 2015 NSC,” Schäfer adds.

The provincial ministry issued a state-ment stating that the closing date for appli-cations to write the February and Marchsupplementary examination is Monday 26January.

MONEY MATTERS

More bang for your buckMalls are abuzz with moms and schol-

ars that are ticking off items from theschool’s stationery lists.

Even more stressful than cramped shop-ping malls is scraping together the moneyto get your children school-ready after thecarefree spending of the holiday season.Eunice Sibiya, head of consumer educa-

tion at a South African bank, says althoughmost of us prioritise saving for an educationunder the top three reasons to save, parentsoften factor in the large amounts such asschool uniforms and textbook fees and ex-clude or underestimate the costs of station-ary. “Costs can add up to R400 for one childand this only factors in one of each station-ary item typically found on the stationerylist. The costs of one, let alonemore than onechild, can easily leave you in a financialtight spot in January,” she says.Sibiya suggests the following ideas to

avoid going financially bust during the backto school season:

Bit by bit“Buying school supplies inbits and spaced

out over the year when you do yourmonthly or weekly grocery shopping islighter on the pocket than buying all theitems at once.Buy the basics of what your child will

need in January and purchase the restlater - this could be a saving grace afterthe December festivities,” she says.It also gives you the opportunity to

teachyour childrenabout budgetingwithsmaller amounts that they canwrap theirheads around.

Build it upA stationery cupboard or drawer

means that youwill always have suppliesready when the children run out of pensor exam pads and it often works outcheaper as you can capitalise on year-round specials, Sibiya says.Don’t forget to take stock of the chil-

dren’s stationery leftovers at the end ofthe year.“Children tend to want new supplies at

the beginning of each year when theymight still have items that can be used in

their current stationery tins. Reuse orswop the items that are still usableamongst the children.”

Dual giftsThe use of technology is becoming ever

more present in the schooling environ-ment and although lower grade scholarsmight not need tablets yet, it is likely thatthey will need these devices and laptopsfrom high school. Instead of incurring thecost in the new year, be savvy and makea birthday gift out of it.Alternatively, use a match-funding ap-

proach to teach your children the value ofmoney and the principle of delayed gratifi-cation.“Make the proposition that if your child

saves a half or third of the device cost, youwill come to the party with the additionalfunds.”Sibiya suggests that these techniques in-

stil a savings culture in your children.“This will result in them taking owner-

ship in looking after their devices,” saysSibiya.

Plan aheadThe school year is filled with activities

that will require additional spending.To avoid last minute costs that need to

be incurred but were not budgeted for,Sibiya suggests drawing up a rough esti-mation of what these costs might tally upto.You can do this by requesting your

child’s school calendar and planningaround sporting season, school tours andschool activity expenses such as a Valen-tine’s ball or matric dance.Based on this, decide on an amount that

can be set up as a scheduled transfer toyour savings account at the beginning ofeach month.On top of having peace ofmind that there

are funds available, your money will alsogrow thanks to compound interest.“There is no reason to be caught off-

guard when it comes to the expenses thatseem small relative to other school fees.”Sibiya believes a bit of budgeting and

savvy savings techniques such as theabove can go a longway to save youmoney.

Health tips forchildrenIn the last-minute rush to make sure yourchildhas their books, pencils and schooluni-form ready, don’t forget to add a healthcheck-up to your to-do list.The City of Cape Town’s Health Directo-

rate has urged parents to add health checksto the list of ‘back-to-school’ preparations fortheir children, including vaccinations.According to the National Childhood Im-

munisation Schedule, children are given thetetanus and reduced strength of diphtheriavaccine (Td Vaccine) at the age of six, fol-lowed by another round at the age of 12, ex-plains the City’s Mayoral Committee mem-ber for Health Benedicta Van Minnen.“Iwant tourgeparents to ensure that their

children receive these vaccinations, whichare administered via an injection in theirupper arm. Prevention is always betterthan cure. Also, our clinics offer these im-munisations free of charge.”“We still have a few days left before the

academic year starts, so now is as good atime as any to get the vaccinations done forchildren who need to get these shots,” shesays.City Health staff are also well placed to

provide advice on good nutrition, which isa key focus of the directorate’s awarenessand education programme, Van Minnensays. “Itmakes sense to preventmore peoplefrom getting sick, which is why we placesuch heavy emphasis on responsible behav-iour and good nutrition.”

St Martin’s stun YankeesJOSEPH PILLAY

The second half of the WesternProvince Softball Federa-tion’s season resumed in all

earnest at Turfhall StadiumonSat-urday.

And while Falcons worked theirway to a hard-earned 6-4 victoryagainst a gutsy Kenfac Philliesside, Tantasport was equal to thetask in beating VOB 7-4.

St Martin’s, meanwhile, turnedthe tables in recording a shock 4-3win over arch-rivals WestridgeYankees from Mitchell’s Plain inthe Super League competition thathad many fans smiling from ear toear.

However, coachWayne May andhis Glenthorn-Athlone side, still

sporting an unbeaten run to date,were not in action but are well-placed at the top of the standingshaving won all of their nine gameswith a full quota of 18 points in thebag.

They are twopoints ahead of sec-ond-placed Falcons (16 points) whohave played ten matches to date.

Nonetheless, with St Martin’shaving downedWestridgeYankeesand causing the latter to suffertheir fourth defeat in ninematches– Saints have moved up the ladderto third position with 11 pointsfrom 10 assignments.

Head coach Natasha de Klerk’sYankees left it too late.

Trailing 4-0 at the top of the fifthinning,Yankees awoke fromadeepslumber and in the sixth batting

frame registered their first runs onthe scoreboard when Aimee-LeighCampbell, Glynis Koopman andNuraan Williams each crossed thehome plate.

However, the three runs werenot enough to salvage a point orturn defeat into victory. Yankeesis seemingly no longer the team tobeat in the league or the biggestname in the game.

Neither do they drive fear intoopposition teams, leading to anumber of hardcore softball fansquestioning whether the club willever return to their former gloryagain and challenge for the title.

Besides Saints pitcher LindsayDamon showing her mettle on themound, the highlight of theBishopLavis side’s well-deserved victory

was the solo circuit hit – the homerun belonging to Elderisha Lan-genhoven, who batted 1-1.

Langenhoven was ably support-ed by Nawaal Nacerodien, BonitaCloete (three bagger) each 1-2, Dan-ielle Ford andKimCloete (each 1-3)in which Saints smacked fivehits off Yankees pitcherMegan Ca-ble.

Cable in her sixth inning earnedfour strike outs, but also struggledto find the plate as she concededseven base-on-balls and the score-line could have been bigger had itbeen that Saints left seven strand-ed between bases.

However, Lindsay Damon heldher nerve and pitched a steadygame with a well marshalled fieldthat ably assisted her in almost

registering a shut-out victory toher name, considering that Yan-kees loaded the bases twice in thethird and sixth frame but could on-ly once score runs due to poor bat-ting.

Damon, in her six inning con-test, claimed two scalps and al-lowed threebase-on-ballswhile shegave up three scattered hits ofwhich Aimee-Lee Campbell,Glynis Koopman and RoxanneOhlsson fared best for Yankeeswith the bat.

Adding to the thrills and spills inthe Major League, StrandfonteinMets placed second on the log, beatBelhar Dolphins 11-0 while Aven-dale andNormies shared the spoils3-3 in an exciting and thrill-a-minute showdown.
