CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL

Life’s passion found on Fan WalkTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Dancing is my life. I even have a tattooabout dance because this is one thing

that I’m very passionate about.”This is what Kurt Palmer (20) from Steen-

berg says. Palmer realised his dream whenhe started dancing in front of a huge crowdof spectators at Cape Town Carnival fiveyears ago. He has since developed thisdream into a passion and today, he is a leadperformeratCapeTownCarnival and chore-ographs routines for the community groupof Steenberg High School – which is whereit all started.Palmer has been dancing for the past 11

years, startingwith ballet in primary schooland then joining Steenberg High’s commu-nity group. This was where he ended up per-forming on a public platformand discoveredthat it was something that he would like todo for the rest of his life.

“I have always known my passion in lifewas dancing, ever since my first perform-ance. When I have to change into characterit feels basically like I’m starting a new life,opening my body and mind to new thingsthat will tell a story.”

Despite now doing what he loves, Palmersays that it has never been an easy journey:“One of the challenges I had to overcome asa teenager was the bullying and negativityby pupils at my school but I always made away to overcome them.

“Coming from disadvantaged communi-ties it was even difficult to go to rehearsalbecause of criminal activities. Getting fromone place to another was a struggle but Iknew this is what I wanted to do so I had toface the struggles head on. One of the great-estmotivations I hadwasmy life orientation

teacher in matric, Ms Priestley, who alwayshad confidence in me and helped me out inmy dance career.”Palmer has seen the value Cape TownCar-

nival has brought to the many participantsand spectators. “Because of our performan-

ces in Cape TownCarnival, we have had per-formances at the Baxter festival and theCape Arts festival.

“This helped to shape the person I am to-day. I really enjoy dancing. When I have alleyes on me it really makes it easy for me to

do my thing and I want to give people thebest,” he says.In its seventh year, Palmer says the theme

for this year’s Cape Town Carnival is goingto be a show stopper.

“Well, ‘Street Life’ is definitely going to bemy favourite; it is something new and it isvery different. It is difficult to saythough ... each year brings its own pizzazz.

“I amsoexcited to takepart in the carnivalthis year, my body is dancing to the rhythmof ‘Street Life’,” he says.His wish is to work with the Cape Town

Carnival: “One of my biggest dreams is tobecome a part of the team that creates CapeTown Carnival, to showcase and show offCape Town in different ways. Each personbrings his own flavour to the parade. CapeTown is full of colour and culture and eachperson brings his own uniqueness.”This year the carnival promises to be even

more dynamic, with comedian Siv Ngesiparticipating for his third year and other lo-cal personalities like Liezel van der West-huizen, Zoe Brown and Danny Ross joiningthe parade.It will be held on the Fan Walk of Green

Point on 12 March. Visitors will have thefreedom of the city streets from 15:00 as theyjoin family and friends to enjoy the varietyof food and crafts on offer.

The streetswill be closed for final prepara-tions at 18:00, giving carnival-goers enoughtime to find the perfect viewing spot, findtheir seats or make their way to one of themany restaurants along theFanWalk beforethe magic begins at 19:00.V For more information on the Cape Town Carnival,visit www.capetowncarnival.com, the TheCapeTown-Carnival page on Facebook or follow @CTCarnival onTwitter or @capetowncarnival on Instagram and usethe hashtag #CTCarnival2016 and #StreetLife.

Kurt Palmer of Steenberg enjoys being a dancer. His biggest achievement is performing at theCape Town Carnival which he enjoys a lot.

Buckley further says drug dealing happenson a number of occasions. “We have report-ed this matter on many occasions. I amaware that a tender has been put out to havethe problem solved but this has been likethis for the whole year.“We have been struggling with this prob-

lem for a long time.Residents have evenhadtheir washing stolen off their lines, and peo-ple are coming onto our properties from thestation platform,” he says.Riana Scott, Metrorail spokesperson,

says the company acknowledges the resi-dents’ concerns about crime.Police must be involved as the primary

crime-fighting force. The rail system doesnot function in isolation, it bears the bruntof displaced crime in the adjoining areas,she says.Crime is on the increase in general and

areas around stations and railway lines areunfortunately not exempted from this.Criminal elements have been known to ac-cess private property via public areas and

generally residents are responsible for se-curing their own premises.Metrorail does its utmost to replace or

mend fencing as soon as it is damaged, butonly if it has the budget to do this.She explains that the purpose of railway

fencing is to primarily demarcate bounda-ries and fencing will not deter wilful entry.In many instances the fencing is still ser-

viceable for its intended purpose. Fencing

replacement and repairs are planned andprioritised on a yearly basis and depends onurgency or necessity. Due to the vastness ofthe area and resources available, replace-ment or repair has to be prioritised againstother pressing and equally valid projects.“A contract has been let to fence the area

in question and the process will commenceas soon as all supply chain processes havebeen complied with,” she says.

Local walks Grammys red carpetLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

A Cape Town musician is stillgiddy after experiencing the

Grammy Awards last week.Constantia’s Brenton Brown,

who now lives in the United States,was nominated in the category forContemporary Christian MusicPerformance/Song for his song“Soul on Fire”.The song is performed by Third

Day featuring All Sons & Daugh-ters.Brown says he found out about

his nomination when Third Daysinger Mac Powell sent him anSMS saying: “See you at the Gram-mys!”Brown describes “Soul on Fire”

as averypersonal song.He tookhisinspiration for the track from apassage in the New Testament.Brown,whowrites formanymu-

sicians, was nominated alongsideone of his own role models Toby-Mac.

Brown describes his Grammyexperience asbeinga lot like awed-ding day and says he couldn’t havedone it without his wife Jude. “Ittakes a lot of people to put a mon-key into space and we had somearound us making sure we got ev-erything done right.”“Walking the red carpet was sur-

real and having so many photogra-phers shouting and instructingloudly was nuts, but everyone wassweet and kind.”Some of his highlights of the

evening were seeing LadysmithBlack Mambazo and Neville Died-ricks’s names on screen and bump-ing into acts like Imagine Dragons,Russell Simmons, TobyMac “andthe crew from Passion who hadjust returned from Cape Town andPretoria”.Brown, who was a head boy at

Sacs, studied at UCT and OxfordUniversity before obtaining a di-ploma in Theology.He moved to the US mostly be-

cause “I fell in love with a group of

friends inMalibu andwanted to dolife with them”.Also, thanks to his father Bill, he

grew up listening to Americanmu-sic. “He was piping the countrymusic greats tome from very earlyon.”His work is heavily influenced

by his family. Later this year he’llbe travelling to Africa to visit thechurches his grandfather andmother helped start 80 years ago.Besides releasing songswithoth-

er artists, Brown has five solo al-bums and is looking to record anew one in the next year, but hisfocus right now is on “Soul onFire”.V For more information visit www.brenton-brown.com.

Cyclists and pedestrians can start usingthe south side of Chapman’s Peak Drive

again.Restrictions were imposed on cyclists

and pedestrians after massive fires acrossthe Cape Peninsula inMarch last year. Thefires destroyed the vegetation above theroad and increased the risk of rock andstone falls to an unacceptable level.Almost ayear later, thevegetationhas re-

covered sufficiently to have stabilised theslope. Entilini Operations, the companythat holds themanagement concession, hasinstalled fine mesh fences to stop smallrocks and stones from falling onto the road.Although the safety hazard has reduced

sufficiently for the road to be opened to cy-clists and pedestrians, Chapman’s PeakDrive will always be prone to rock falls.Standard road closure procedures will beapplied whenever there is a safety hazard,including car crashes and extremeweatherconditions.“Chappies” is one of themost popular cy-

cling routes in Cape Town. It has been frus-trating for cyclists to have to turn back atthe lookoutpoint.Therehavebeenmore cy-clists on Constantia Nek, Ou Kaapse Weg,False Bay Main Road and Boyes Drive asriders used other routes around the Penin-sula.RobertVogel, CEOof thePedal PowerAs-

sociation, says the additional safety meas-ures are greatly appreciated.“We are very pleased that Chapman’s

Peak Drive is once again open to cyclists,as this is the premier training route for theupcoming Cape Town Cycle Tour. Cyclistswant to train on the actual race route asmuch as possible,” he says.Motoristsmay not passwithin 1mof a cy-

clist. Cyclistsmust ride in single file. Beingconsiderate is an essential part of sharingthe road and enhancing the safety of allroad users.

Pupils taught good habitsTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Grade 7 pupils of Ottery Road MethodistPrimary School in Wynberg were taken

on a roller coaster journey of learning re-cently whilst the Grade 6 pupils weretrained in the areas of memory, languageand numeracy.Pupils were engaged in interactive chal-

lenges to encourage thedevelopment of theirnew-found skills during a programme pro-vided by Bradley de Kock, founder of B-AllTraining Academy.Emphasis was placed on developing and

cultivating good school habits, such as read-ing daily, learning new words, listening at-tentively and most of all finding ways tomake learning fun as well as to rememberwhat is taught.Teachers at the school say pupils need pro-

grammes like these to re-enforce what theyteach in the classroom. Having additionalclasses for pupils makes it easier for boththemand the teacherswhen theycover theseconcepts in the curriculum so that it doesnot seem all that foreign.The highlight of the entrepreneurship

training was making the pupils understandthe importance of entrepreneurship in thecontext of creating jobs by reducing unem-ployment so that theycanhelp create agrow-ing economy.Pupils were excited about the different

way of learning offered during the pro-

gramme. De Kock says the programmemakes learning very easy.“It’s an easy way of learning. One has to

make it in a way that they remember it. Weteach them a lot of things. Above all wewantit to stick in their heads so that they pass.I’m glad they enjoy it,” he says.De Kock goes around schools giving train-

ing in memory, numeracy, language, team-

building and entrepreneurship.“I do a lot of this around schools as well

as holiday programmes. I don’t want peopleto fail. I make learning fun. Each day all Ithink about is how to engagewith pupils andmake them rememberwhat theywere learn-ing. I know how it is to fail and I try by allmeans to help. This is also my way of givingback to the communities.”

Grade 7 pupils of Ottery Road Methodist Primary School received a lesson by Bradley de Kock,founder of B-All Training Academy, recently.

When they put their red jackets on, servicedogs Shyann and Philippe know they’reworking.For these dogs, working usually involves

helping their physically disabled or chal-lenged owners carry out day-to-day tasks,such as going to the shop. Sometimes itmeans making friends with neighbours toeducate them about service dogs and disa-bilities. On occasion, it means simply pro-viding comfort and companionship to theirowners.But Shyann and Philippe have been even

more busy than usual, as they help their re-spective owners, Dawn Pilatowicz and Jan-ice Salthouse, plan the annual “Love yourguide dog” fundraising event.All proceeds go to the South African

Guide Dog Association, which trained Shy-ann and Philippe.The association breeds and trains dogs to

help blind and disabled people. Some dogsalso socialise with autistic children.Each dog spends a year being raised by

a foster family, where they are taught to so-cialise and function in public as well as fol-low a set of basic commands.They then return to the association’s

kennels,where theyare trained for a specif-ic individual, his disability and his needs.Shyann, a golden Labrador, was trained

tohelpPilatowicz –whoneeds awheelchairto get around – by picking up things shedrops. Philippe, the first poodle service dogin the country, helps Salthouse balance.“Dogs open doors. People talk to you in-

stead of looking at you like you’re drunk.”Shyann joined Pilatowicz at the age of

two. Before that, Pilatowicz had beenhousebound because she relied on awalkeror wheelchair to go out.“When you’re in a wheelchair, you be-

come invisible. People look at and talk tothe person pushing the wheelchair, not toyou. It’s like I don’t have a brain, when ac-tually I just can’t walk,” she says.But all that changed with Shyann.“I needed to take her for a daily walk, so

I got an electric wheelchair. I lived in myneighbourhood for 20 years and didn’tknowanyone before. Now, everyone knowsShyann.”With the boost of confidence, Salthouse

and Pilatowicz decided to give back by ar-ranging a yearly fundraiser for the associa-tion.V The annual Fish Hoek “Love your guide dog” fun-draiser in aid of the SA Guide Dog Association willtake place in the Fish Hoek Civic Centre on Fridayat 19:30. Tickets are R160 per person and numerousraffles will run on the night. Booking is essential andcan be done my contacting Pilatowicz on083 226 8250 or [email protected].

DISRUPTION OFWATER SUPPLY:WYNBERGThursday 3 March 2016

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero pressuretest on the water supply feeding the Wynberg water supply zone on Thursday 3 March 2016.

This will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas from 22:00 until 04:00 thefollowing morning.

The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in theaffected areas.

For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided intoreticulation zones which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the largenetwork. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.

Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

GARY VAN DYK@gvdcapejazz

There was a buzz in the hall of BlackpoolSports Complex in Salt River on Satur-

day when more than 500 former residentsof District Six gathered for a gala lunch.They were the guests of the District 6

Working Committee which hosted theevent in commemoration of the 50th anni-versary of 11 February 1966, when the areawas proclaimed a white area.For many bittersweet memories were

raised as they met up with former friendsand neighbours and shared their stories oftheir lives in the far-flung suburbs towhich they were moved.Most of the area is still bare as ongoing

plans for restitution are still discussed, butfor most of these former residents theirheartache is still here. They all feel that thespirit of this vibrant communitywill neverbe regained.Shahied Ajam, chairperson of the com-

mittee, felt the gala lunch was a special oc-casion because all the invited guests camefrom different historically disadvantagedcommunitieswhowerepreviously affectedby apartheid and forced removals.“We hosted this event in remembrance

of the lives and livelihoodswhichwere lostthrough the forced removals of yester-year,” he said.“Forced removals changed the course of

the lives of thousands of people,when fami-lies were relocated to the treacherous andbarren Cape Flats.“We have recently formed a strategic

partnership with the District 6 Museumwith the goal of helping people find waysto move past the pain, so that they can livemore fulfilling lives.“We are working to ensure that people

realise their worth once again and to moreactively contribute towards nation build-ing in this beautiful country of ours.”

Umbrella bodyTheWorkingCommittee (D6WC) is a res-

titution group which started in 2013 froman estimated 1000 frustrated people whodidn’t claim for restitution before the firstofficial cut-off date between 1995 and 1998,andwhowere not recognised as eligible forrestitution.D6WC also acts as the umbrella for all

restitution organisations in the WesternCape and assists many restitution commu-nity organisations from areas such asNdabeni, Claremont, Constantia, Wyn-

berg, Newlands, Simon’s Town, Pinelandsand Goodwood.Listening to some of the conversations at

the tables while lunch was being served itwas clear that the memories were stillstrong after 50 years.Mogamat Salie Williams felt that one of

themost powerful aspects thatmade the ar-ea special was the respect and love for allreligions and the different churches.“My family lived inRichmondStreet and

I attended the Moravian School and grewup in that church,” he says.“We attended mosque but the school and

church were important to our family andthe education of the community.“When it was Easter we painted the

church, cleaned it and I even sang in thechoir sometimes. When it came to bazaartime all the churches and mosques sup-ported each other.“That is the spirit that they can never

bring back.”Rashieda Essop, originally from Chapel

Street, had recently moved back to the ar-ea. She was discussing her experienceswith Abdulgamied “Tommy” Hartley andhis wife Gadija who used to live in SydneyStreet.“I miss the open doors in our neighbour-

hood,” says Rashieda.“If you needed help no door was ever

closed to you. You knew if you gave some-body help this week, next week they wouldbe able to help you.“The saddest day for me was when our

neighbours had to move to Gugulethu. Myfather helped them organise a bakkie andhe cried when he saw where they weremoving to.”TheHartleys also have fondmemories of

the area.“There are just so many stories of the

good times we had there. Yes, people werepoor, but they still had pride and respectfor each other,” he said.“Of course there was crime, even gangs,

but these were different kind of gangsters.They were naughty but never nasty orwanting to destroy the community.”These are just some of the stories that

were shared at this gathering, and as theafternoon wore on there were more smilesthan tears.For many old friendships were renewed

and there is hope for a new generation tomove into the area and rekindle that spiritof the old District Six.V For more information about the working commit-tee contact Ajam on 076 665 6224.

Learn the local seas at clubhouseLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Did you know that the fountainat the end of Adderley Street

used to be at the end of the har-bour’s pier? How about the factthat the harbour’s current contain-er basin was built using sandpumped from Flamingo Vlei?

These are just some of the factsyou’ll learn during a short visit tothe Ship Society of South Africa.

Focused on preserving the mari-time heritage of Cape Town, the so-ciety has become a place for people

interested in the shipping world toshare and learn.

The society’s chairperson, Ge-orge Hendrie, explains that thegroup was started in 1953.

The society slowly evolved untilthe 1970s when it became instru-mental in saving the Waterfront’sClock Tower, which was the socie-ty’s museum.

While the maritime museum,which used to be in the buildingwhere the Waterfront’s Watershedis now, was closed down some timeago, the society’s clubhouse in theharbour, opposite the cruise termi-

nal, houses boat models, postersand maritime literature fromaround the world.

Only one of its models is housedat the Maritime Centre in the oldUnion Castle building.

Many of the models were madeby shipping companies.

“Quite a few of these started outlife in shop windows for the travelagents in the old days.”

Many Ship Society members,like Hendrie himself, are formerseamen, but others haven’t been to

sea.“They’re just interested in ships

and shipping; that’s what it’s allabout.”

The members meet every Thurs-day evening for screenings of mari-time documentaries and films andonce a month they try to present aguest speaker. Visitors are wel-come to join in at a cost of R25.

Occasionally the society arran-ges ship visits – from cruise linersto dredgers. They even visitedCape Town International Airport’s

control tower recently.The clubhouse is also open on

Saturdays from 16:00, when visi-tors can come and chat to the mem-bers and learn more about CapeTown’s shipping world. Hendriesays he’d prefer maritime enthusi-asts to see what they do before sign-ing up as a member.V For more information contact Hendrie on072 647 7944 or [email protected] orPat Downing on 072 603 5904,021 557 5519 or [email protected].

EDUCATION

Good studentto greatFebruary has arrived, and parents arebreathing a huge sigh of relief – exams areover, for now, children are registered andthe academic year has begun.Routine has established itself, with early

rising, treasure hunts for clean schoolshirts and finger-waving exercises in themorning traffic. Now is the time to settlethe household. Balancing life, work and ex-tramural activities is no easy task.Yes, the social and soft skills we gain

from teamwork in sports and extramuralactivities doplay avital role in our develop-ment as fully rounded, well-adjusted, pro-ductive and caring contributors to ourworld, but we must prioritise academics.There is so much value in teaching our

children how to cope with the demands ofschool, authority, routine and exams. Isn’tthat what we deal with on a daily basis atwork? We have to arrive on time; we haveprojects to complete and deadlines to meet.How do you cope? Well, you’ve employed

life skills and coping strategies which youhave learnt through a mentor, if you werelucky enough, or through trial and error,invariably through life’s knocks andbumps.Life lessons start in the home. Sowhy not

instil some strategies that will help yourchildrenmanage their time and reduce dai-ly stress in their lives and yours? Here area few well-tried suggestions.1:Breakfast: themost importantmeal of

the day. If you are fortunate enough to beable to provide a solid breakfast beforeyour child goes to school, do so. It will helpwith concentration and energy levelsthroughout the day.2: Time management and planning:

get organised. Between homework, testsand extracurricular activities, it is all tooeasy for things to slip through the cracks.A planner can help your child keep every-thing organised. Students should writedownassignments, appointments and to-dolists. Ask him to review items in the plan-ner at both the beginning and endof the dayto stay on track. Learning to allocate andmanage time effectively is one of the bestrecipes for anyone’s success.3: Designate a study area. Studying in

front of the TVwon’t be the best use of yourchild’s time. Help your child by providinga quiet, well-lit, low-traffic space for study.Take it one step further and institute a“communications blackout” policywith nocellphones or messaging allowed untilschoolwork is done.4: App tip: embrace and make technolo-

gy work for you. Any.do helps organiseyour tasks and keeps your academic life inone place. Students can use the app to cap-ture ideas and to-do lists and to collaboratewith classmates. Parents can use it to keepfamily projects on track.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVETCollege.

from the post you published inPeople’s Post last month.

We strive to empower our youth tobecome active and responsiblecitizens.Generosity enables the Salesian

Institute to continue to work with thevulnerable youth.

‘Horrified’ at schoolexam conditionsOn Friday 12 February I had theunfortunate experience of accompanyingmy daughter to Crestway High Schoolto write her supplementary exams.I was horrified at the conditions

under which they had to write. Therewere 82 pupils writing in one classroom.I was extremely disappointed to hear

from the secretary of the school that noother school wanted to assist with thesupplementary exams. I know there areschools that have the facilities toaccommodate these kids. Not only wasthe “examination room” inadequate, butthe area itself was extremely unsafe.I witnessed a fist fight between one of

the teachers or groundsmen and two ofthe school’s pupils. The toilets werehighly unhygienic and filthy. The doorshad no locks, there were holes in theceilings and there were holes in thecubicles facing the outside, offering noprivacy. Some of the kids were therefrom just after 07:00. And not being ableto use the bathroom until 12:00 – it’sjust unacceptable.Besides feeling completely vulnerable

myself I feel heart-sore for our childrenwho have to endure these conditionsevery day. What a huge disappointmentin the Western Cape education depart-ment. These kids are our future andthey deserve better!

Paddy Attwell, spokesperson of theWestern Cape Department of Edcucation(WCED) responds:Fifteen schools, including Crestway

High School, are hosting supplementaryexaminations for the National SeniorCertificate.Crestway has created an examination

hall for the purpose by removing wallsbetween three classrooms.This has created sufficient space to

accommodate the maximum number ofcandidates writing the examinations atthe venue, in this case, 87.Examination officials visited the

school last Thursday, and found thevenue spotlessly clean and more thanadequate for the 69 candidates scheduledto write the next examination.The candidates are not sitting in one

classroom, as suggested by your reader,but in three classrooms that the schoolhas joined together.The school has cordoned off the hall

so that normal school activities do notdisrupt the examinations.While the school is old, the ablution

facilities are well looked after andserviceable.The WCED rotates the venues be-

tween clusters of schools each year, incollaboration with the schools con-cerned. We have not experiencedreluctance to host the examinations, assuggested in the letter.

Treated well at UIF officeI can’t agree with Pat Manwaring.I went to the UIF office in Athlone

and I must say we were treated verywell.As with all government departments

there are queues.But I must point out that the staff at

Athlone office treated everyone with theutmost respect.At one stage they offered me a chair

to sit on while waiting for the doors to

open.I was always given a date when to go

in and sign and also how much I wouldreceive that Friday (pay day).They always put the date on the form

which you fill in for your next signdate.I must thank the staff of the Athone

UIF office for a job well done.ACHMAT SALIE,

Athlone

Giants a step closer to promotionSEAN CAMPBELL

Maitland Giants have taken a stepcloser to winning promotion to theMajor League next season after they

beat Lansdowne Eagles 8-2 at the Kensing-ton sports ground on Saturday.After scoring a run each in the first in-

nings, both teams settled down,with the re-spective pitching and fielding units doingwell. It was only at the bottom of the sixthinning that Giants broke the game openwith six runs coming from five hits (3x2B)and two errors.

Jaydee Thorne (3 for 4), Sergia Gamba (2for 3) and Kyle Inglis (2 for 5) batted wellfor Giants. Lansdowne had two scatteredhits for the game.Lucien Swartz started the pitching for

Lansdowne and did very well up to thesixth inning, when Giants scored the cru-cial six runs.

Thorne threw seven strong innings, con-ceding two hits, twowalks, one hit by pitchand striking out 10 hitters. Matt Sorenfrom the United States closed out the gamefor Giants.

Giants travel to their closest rivals Vander Stel next week. Van der Stel narrowlybeat Devonshire 4-3 on Saturday.

Bothasig consolidate top spotAfter comfortably beating Durbanville

10-1 at Durbanville sports complex on Sat-urday, Bothasig consolidated their top spotin the BAWP Major League.

Pitching by Bothasig’s Lucas Steinleinfrom Germany (five innings, two hits andnine strikeouts), Brad Erasmus (two in-nings, two hits) and Jared Elario (two in-nings, onehit and two strikeouts)madehit-ting extremely difficult for Durbanville.They also conceded no walks.

Darren Smith, after striking out in hisfirst at bat, with 2 for 4, was the only hitterto deal comfortably with the top classBothasig pitching.Durbanville started with the experi-

enced Gavin Jefferies who pitched for sev-en innings, allowing 12 hits and strikingout four hitters.

Hewas replaced byDamian Perkinswhothrew for two innings, allowing two hits,twowalks and striking out onehitter. Theywere badly let down by the Durbanvillefielding which made six errors.Andrew Norman (3 for 6), Nicholas Ea-

gles (3 for 6) and Dayle Feldtman (2 for 5)were Bothasig’s best hitters.Bothasig are four points ahead of Bell-

ville in second place.

Bellville beat VOB 8-0 on Saturday.

Westridge hold off SilvertreeAfter taking a 4-0 lead at the top of the

fourth inning, Westridge Yankees kepttheir nerve to hold off Silvertree in their4-2 win at Groenewald sports fields inSouthfield on Saturday.

Yankees jumped to their 4-0 lead afterscoring one run in the third and three runsin the fourth inning. Silvertree came backwith one run in the fourth and one run inthe eighth inning.Yankees’ breakaway runs in the fourth

inning were scored on two down with awalk and three consecutive two-base hitsoff Silvertree pitcher Dean Jacobs.

Silvertree had a chance to come back in-to the game in the bottom of the eighth in-ning with bases loaded and no outs. Theyonly managed to score a single run.Jacobs threw for five innings, conceding

five hits, four walks and striking out fourhitters. Keegan Watson relieved him forfour innings, one hit, a walk and strikingout three hitters.

Jayson Ripepi threw for Yankees and re-corded his sixth win of the season. Hethrew for nine innings, conceded nine hitsand twowalks and struck out eight hitters.

Silvertree’s best hitters were MarvinMahoney (3 for 4) and Ashley Julies (3 for5). Most of their hits were recordedwith norunners on the bases.

Veon Rix (2 for 4), Wesley Rushin (1 for3) and Ripepi (1 for 3) were Yankees’ besthitters.The loss keeps Silvertree locked jointly

at the bottom of the leaguewith Crusaders,who lost 11-4 to Athlone.
