Tuesday last week.It is alleged that just after opening time at

09:00, three suspects entered the restaurantand pretended to be customers. They or-dered coffee. While the waiter was seeing tothe order three more suspects entered therestaurant dressed as construction workers.

They then ordered the staff to lie on the floorand threatened the manager with a firearm.He was then led to the safe where they tookcash to the value of R35 000. Suspects fled ina white Bantam that was parked at the traf-fic circle. No shots were fired and no one wasinjured. At the time of the incident therewere no other customers in the shop.

A 25-year-old woman who refused to benamed and was at the vicinity of the shopwhen the incident happened says she didn’tsee anything unusual. “I was waiting forsomeone close to the shop. Everything

seemed normal to me. The next thing I seepeople come out in a rush but I thought may-be it was just work. The next thing I heardthe shop was robbed. I couldn’t believe it. Ithappened right under my nose and I didn’tnotice. I’m just glad that no one was in-jured,” she says.

‘Rapists are useless’ – Chaka ChakaTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Today is the day we all say enough isenough. Rape and abuse has no colour

and it doesn’t care whether you’re white orblack, but today it must stop.”These were the words of legendary musi-

cian Yvonne Chaka Chaka, a guest speakerat the 11th lunch of 1000 Women UnitedAgainst Domestic Violence and Abuse, heldat the Cape Town International ConventionCentre (CTICC) on Thursday last week.Women from different areas came togeth-

er to speak about abuse and said it was timethey stood together to put an end to it. Theday was also used to celebrate women whohave stood tall to talk about their circum-stances. A group of women who are part ofthe “I’mBeautiful Project” spokeabout theirdifferent experiences of violence and abuse.The exhibition will be at the CTICC for a

month. Thereafter it will move to the Me-dia24 building before it goes to Pick n Pay’soffices.In South Africa, one in every four women

is caught in an abusive relationship. Everysix days, a woman is murdered by her inti-mate partner.More shocking is that a woman is raped

every 25 seconds of every day.These horrific statistics are nothing new

to people living in South Africa as the esca-lating level of abuse is broadcast 24 hours aday via media channels.The luncheon was a call to all South Afri-

cans to stand together and speak out againstthe abuse of our women.Chaka Chaka said now was the time to

fight forwomen so that theywon’t be blamedby the next generation. “All men who rapeand are abusive, are useless and stupid.They are not worth living. As women it’s

time we take a stand. Women should be nur-tured and looked after by men. We mustworkwith each other to complete one anoth-

er, not to compete. Its high time menlearned to respect women. We are not hereto compete, but to be equals and work to-

gether.”She added that mothers have a huge re-

sponsibility to play if the war against vio-lence and abuse was to be won. “Mothers,let’s teach our children that women are notdoormats. They must be respected. Let’steach our kids that women are importantand they should be valued, not trampled on.It starts at home. If we raise good sons whorespect women thenwe havewon thewar.”Turning towomen she told them to speak

against rape and abuse. “Women need tostart talking about these things, not tomake fun of women being abused. In SouthAfricawehave ahuge problem.We look theotherwaywhen things begin to happen.Weneed to stand together. Women, talk to oneanother. Don’t stay in an abusive relation-ship. If he loves you, he won’t abuse you.Some stay because they have nowhere togo. Some stay because the man is the pro-vider. No, God gave you your brains andhands – use them to work for yourself. Menare here to hold our hands and we walk to-gether side by side. We all can’t make it onour own – we need each other as man andwoman, but we should never, ever allowourselves to be abused.”Wendy Ackerman, patron of the event,

said shewas happy that a lot of people cameout to say they have had enough.“The message has to go out there. Touch

more women and we start to talk aboutthese things and we do something about it.The power of your voice has to be heard.At the moment women’s voices are not asloud, but the message is very clear today– we’ve had enough and abuse and rapemust stop now.”The money raised at the event will help

to provide access to skills, knowledge andresources and to provide seed funding towomen-led organisations.

pleting marine resources.This after police seized abalone with a

street value of R950 000 at Hout Bay Har-bour last week.According to a statement issued by pro-

vincial police spokesperson Constable Nol-oyiso Rwexana, police received informa-tion about possible poaching at Robben Is-land.A joint operation was conducted by the

CapeTownSeaBorder PoliceUnit, the Spe-cial TaskForce andDepartment ofAgricul-ture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF).A vessel was spotted entering Hout Bay

Harbour on Friday morning at about 04:00,without any navigational lights.The poaching vessel spotted the law en-

forcement vessels and sped off into HoutBay Harbour.The crew and divers on board the vessel

evaded arrest by jumping off onto the quay-side and disappeared among the factories.The vesselwas left abandoned next to the

quayside with motors still running, saysRwexana.

Local kitten one of35 worldwideThe world’s rarest kitten – a Lykoi orWere-wolf Cat – has been rescued from the Com-pany’s Garden by staff and volunteers fromTears Animal Rescue Feral Cat Project.The cat, found under a bush, is the only

natural-born Lykoi on record in SouthAfri-ca and one of just 35 in the world, makingthis one of the most exciting discoveries inthe South African animal world in recentyears. Part of a litter of six kittens taken toTears for sterilisation in March after thedisappearance of their mother – a shorthaired domestic tabby – the only strange-looking kitten in the litter has since beenconfirmed as an incredibly rare Lykoi.The kitten’s strange appearance prompt-

ed Tears’ veterinarian, Dr Tracy Dicks, totake skin scrapings to test for various skindiseases. All returned negative findingsand with the help of Tears’ operations andfeline programme manager, Mandy Store,the search to uncover the mystery of thisstrange cat began in earnest.

Store says: “We even tested to see if thekitten was a Devon Rex but results alsocame back negative. The mother and fiveother kittens in the litter – all short-haireddomestic tabbies – gave us no clues aboutour new arrival so we widened our re-search. We were absolutely stunned to dis-cover that we’d brought into our shelter therarest kitten in South Africa – the weird,wonderful and legendary Werewolf Cat.”United States veterinarian and world Ly-

koi specialist, Dr Johnny Gobble, says thelittle Lykoi at Tears is the first natural mu-tation in South Africa reported to him.“The Lykoi breeder in South Africa start-

ed with Lykoi cats from another breederthat we began with our lines, so those catswere bred and did not occur naturally.”Gobble, fascinated by rare breeds and ge-

netics, was the first breeder of Lykoi in theworld from naturally occurring Lykoi. Hesays that about 20 years ago, these oddballcats were thought to have the Sphynx or

Devon gene but have since been foundto be a completely new, natural muta-tion of cat.Sincemonitoring of the breed began

in 2011, there have been 34 reportednatural mutations from around theworld. “The Tears’ Lykoi is the 35th,”Gobble says.Tears has named the rare treasure

Eyona. This is a Xhosa name thatmeans “The One.” It is believed thatthose carrying the name are attractedto mysteries and exhibit fierce inde-pendence.Eyona is in the safe care ofTearsAn-

imal Rescue and will not be rehomed.He has been given a happy and quietplace in which to develop as a normalkitten would, despite being one-of-a-kind.

The world’s rarest kitten – a Lykoi or Werewolf Cat– has been rescued from The Company’s Garden.

Police ask for assistance

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

Muizenberg police have no doubt thatfoot patrols are paying off when it

comes to fighting crime in the area.On Thursday 28 April members of Muiz-

enbergCrimePreventionUnit (CPU), underthe command of Warrant Officer GeraldGain, were doing foot patrols in the Over-come Heights informal settlement.The members tactically approached a

well-known drug den, where they noticedtwomales behaving suspiciously.When thesuspects noticed the police they attemptedto get rid of thenarcotics in their possessionby throwing it on top of the shacks.Gain and Constable Vuyani Kondile were

able to locate the drugs and arrested bothsuspects. The first suspect, 27-year-old resi-dent of Hillview, was found to be in posses-sion of 40 halfmandrax tablets and eight fullmandrax tablets. The second suspect, a 22-year-old resident of OvercomeHeights, wasfound to be in possession of 11 halfmandraxtablets.Colonel Ismail Daniels, Muizenberg sta-

tion commander, commended his membersin their attempts to eradicate the scourgeof drugs in the Overcome and Vrygrond ar-ea.“Overcome Heights is a densely populat-

ed settlement, where the informal struc-tures arebuilt very close to eachother,mak-ing policing very difficult. It is therefore vi-tally important for the community toprovide information to the police that couldlead to arrest successes,” he says.In separate incidents from last month,

Muizenberg police arrested a total of 23 peo-ple for crimes varying from shoplifting torobbery.These arrests include on for domestic vio-

lence, three for housebreaking and theftand six for possession of narcotics, four sto-len motor vehicles, one outstanding war-rant, a robbery, one assault, one drunkendriving, malicious damage to property andfour people were arrested for shoplifting.Anybody with information pertaining to

illegal activities can contact Warrant Offi-cer Adrian Andries on 021 787 9028.All information will be treated as strictly

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

ChangingnuptialagreementsIt is common practice that couples get mar-ried “out of community of property”. Butas people become more and more informedand educated, many wish to change theirmatrimonial regime after they have beenlegally married.Most people think that yourmatrimonial

regime is caste in “matrimonial stone”, butit can be changed after the marriage.Section 21(1) of theMatrimonial Property

Act provides that maried couples may ap-ply jointly to a court for leave to change thematrimonial property system that appliesto theirmarriage. The courtmay order thatthe existing matrimonial property systemno longer applies to their marriage andmay authorise them to enter into a notarialcontract by which their future/new matri-monial property system is to be regulatedon conditions as the court may deem fit.This Act requires that the court must be

satisfied that there are sound reasons forthe suggested change, sufficient notice ofthe suggested change has been given to allthe creditors of both spouses and that noother person will be prejudiced by the pro-posed change.The application must be brought in the

court in the area of jurisdiction in whichthe couple resides and must include infor-mation concerning any change of address.

Guidelines. Notice must be given to the Registrar

of Deeds in terms of section 97(1) of theDeeds Registries Act and must contain ap-propriate submissions with regard to theregistration procedure of the immovableproperties as contained in the agreement.

. The draft notarial contract must be an-nexed to the application.

. Notice of intention tomake the applica-tion must be published in the GovernmentGazette and two local newspapers at leasttwo weeks before the date on which the ap-plication will be heard at court.

. The date on which the application willbe heardmust be specified in the publishednotice and anyone who wishes to object tothe proposed change, or to make any repre-sentations in that regard, must be told thatthis can be done bywriting to the Registrarof the court and sending a copy to the appli-cants’ attorney, or by appearing in court onthe date of the hearing. The notice must al-so state that the application and proposedcontract can be inspected at the office of theRegistrar and the applicants’ attorney.

. At least two weeks’ prior notice of theapplication must be given by certified postto all creditors and a list of creditors, veri-fied by affidavit,must be included in the ap-plication along with proof that notice hasbeen given to them.

Financial position. Sufficient information regarding the

assets and liabilities of the couple must beset out in the application.

. The application must include detailson any past sequestration and any pendinglegal proceedings in which a creditor isseeking to recover payment of debt due byeither one of the couple.

. If any change in the parties’ financialposition occurs before the application isheard, a supplementary affidavit reflectingsuch change must be filed.

Sound reasons for the changeCare must be taken to motivate fully the

proposed change in the existing matrimo-nial property system. The reasons reasonsmust be convincing, valid and anchored toreality. Applicants must explain why noother person will be prejudiced by the pro-posed change. The order sought and thecontract which it is proposed to registermust contain a provision which preservesthe rights of pre-existing creditorsThe desire to change the matrimonial re-

gime is usually to protect assets from cred-itors. Aswe can see from the above it is pos-sible to change your matrimonial regimebut the reasons and process submitted tothe court can be onerous.

LETTERS

Driver’sattitudeis keyIt is an ancient truism that themost dangerous part of a motorvehicle is the nut behind thesteering wheel, although obviouslythe Romans had their own versionof the saying.Another saying drummed into

my skull in the days of myyouthful enthusiasm for twowheelers is that there are oldbikers and bold bikers, but thereare no old-bold bikers.I must agree wholeheartedly

with Keith Blake of Ottery (“Driv-er responsibility”, People’s Post, 3May) that “it is all about thatpersonal attitude while driving”:something which I have repeated-ly found to be true in the 40 yearssince I first took the wheel of acar. I would like to add a furtherobservation, that while all of lifeis dependent on “that personalattitude” it is while in control of avehicle and cloaked in anonymitythat a person’s inherent attitudesare unerringly displayed – wheth-er courtesy or immaturity,altruism or self-centredness.This past week I noted again on

the roads those who are helpful,kind, and considerate, and bycontrast those who give the fingerto those who observe speed limitsand other rules of the road.It is easy to pick out by their

selfish behaviour those who haveno thought for others, feel entitledto take preference over other roadusers, try to intimidate otherdrivers into pulling over to letthem pass by tailgating at speed;in short, those who have not yetpassed the toddler stage of “if Iwant it it’s mine”.Yes, personal attitude is key.

BILL ROGERSMuizenberg

Think out of thebox to beat offencesWith reference to Keith Blake’s letter ondriver responsibility (“Driver responsibil-ity”, People’s Post, 3 May) I would say:that is such old hat, nobody even consid-ers it. Otherwise we would not have thechaos on the roads.Perhaps Mr Blake can start some

out-of-the-box thinking again and supportme in getting:1) the courts and insurance companies

to insist that after an accident even the“innocent” driver, has to do an advanceddriver’s course, at their own expense;2) all taxi and lorry/bakkie drivers

pass a driving test annually before theirlicence is renewed. Should they fail thistest no further licence is issued.’nThis can be coupled at the yearly

licence fee.3) A special court for traffic offences

such as parking, wrongful overtaking,speeding and all other ‘simple’ trafficoffences be arranged for every 15 000 carsregistered be instituted where students-in-law must do a two-year practice.The fines they collect most probably

will cover the cost of such a court. Thiscourt must sit every day, even at week-ends, so that those visiting over theholiday time can pay their fines at once.There must be enough retired traffic

officers with plenty of years experienceand an additional study course, to fillsuch positions.Come Mr Blake, I am sure you will

have more ideas so that in future youwill say “my letter in the People’s Post of3 May should have said that”.

MIEKE GORDONGlencairn Heights

Death penalty is requiredI have often wondered why it is soimportant to those who deny the deathpenalty how murders are removed fromsociety.Does it really matter if the authorities

hang, shoot or poison the killers?Did the killers of that innocent girl,

who was killed while walking in Tokaiforest, care about her death when theyshoved her face into the dirt whilestrangling her? Did they consider herhuman rights and dignity while theysodomised her? Did they have anyconcern for her agony as she lay dying?Those who refute the return of the

death penalty are in pains to find anexcuse for murderers.But never do they mention the inno-

cent women and children that aremurdered every day in this country.

They never mention the anguish of aparent whose child was murdered whileplaying in a neighbourhood park.When gangsters rob, rape and fire guns

at unarmed people – while high on drugs– why must ordinary people care aboutthe gangsters’ emotional needs?It is this misplaced sympathy that has

resulted in an annual South Africanmurder statistics of 20 000.While we have the most violent society

on earth, those – who live in a well-pro-tected leafy suburb, far removed from theviolence – want to lecture the victims ofviolence.In the words of the wise: We need the

death penalty; it is the only punishmentcriminal’s fear.

New hospital welcomes new livesTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Melomed private hospital in Tokai wel-comed their first new-borns at the new-

ly opened facility on Friday last week.All three children, two boys and a girl,

were delivered through an emergency cae-sarean section. The babies were all bornprematurely due to the mothers having dif-ferent complications.

Despite all that it was a joyfulmoment forthemothers and doctors that theywere ableto bring new life at the new hospital for thefirst time. The babies weighed between2.2kgs and 2.8kgs. They are all being keptin the neonatal care unit for observations.

The hospital opened its doors a week ago.Cherly Martin (43) who also gave birth at

the hospital says they are treated like royal-ty.

“I’m very happy. Everything has beenhandled well and they are just concernedabout our children’swell being and ourwellbeing aswell. It’s such a beautiful thing thatI gave birth here. The treatment is far morethanwhat I expected. It puts you at ease andmakes you focus on recovering,” she says.

Angelique Mars-Morkel (28) says shestays around the corner from the hospitaland each time she would pass there she toldher husband she would love to give birththere.“I was so drawn to this hospital from the

start. It lookedamazing. Iwould tellmyhus-band each time we pass there I want to givebirth here. We started with the process andhere I am. This is amazing. I feel happy tobeoneof the firstmothers to givebirthhere.It’s like a dream come true for me. The ser-vice and the treatment we are getting fromthe staff is just amazing,” she says.

Doctor Rahel Kader who helped in deliv-ering the babies says it’s certainly a privi-lege towork in the new state of the art facili-ty.“It really feels wonderful and gives a new

experience than what you’re used to. It’s abeautiful hospital and youwork with an ex-cellent team that surrounds you. All the ba-bies were born through an emergency cae-sarean section and all had good outcomes.We are very happy about that. For the factthat we work with an excellent teamwe areable to offer our patients first class treat-ment and that’s makes us really happy.”

It was a day of jubilation as peoplewho were part of the Adonis Mus-ati Project support group celebrat-ed the completion of their courseand graduated Tuesday 10 May.

This celebration marks benefi-ciaries’ completion of the 12-weekprogramme.

During the event members re-ceived certificates of completionand had an opportunity to sharetestimonies of challenges facedand overcome as a result of thisprogramme.

The groups run once a week for11 to 12 weeks. Each session lastsfor three to four hours and in-cludes a small meal or snack anddrink. Groups are not bigger than12people. Those attendingwill notbe paid to attend the supportgroup but they will be given R25to help with transport.

Assisting refugeesAdonis Musati Project in Wyn-

berg is an organisation that as-sists refugees, asylumseekers andmigrants. One of their aims is toeducate the public about the posi-tive contribution of foreigners to

South African society, especiallyin the midst of xenophobic ten-sions this past year.

The organisation started in 2007and was named after Adonis Mus-ati, a young Zimbabwean manwho died of starvation while wait-ing in the queue at Home Affairs.Their aim is to empowermargina-lised refugees and migrants inSouth Africa through fosteringsustainable support networks andencouraging personal develop-ment that achieves lastingchange.

ed foreigners who live in or closeto Maitland, Parow, Bellville, JoeSlovo, Milnerton, Athlone, Delft,Wynberg, Retreat, Salt River, Ob-servatory, Capricorn, and CapeTown can attend the project.Those who can travel to these lo-cations from anywhere in CapeTown are also welcome to join thegroups.

They host men’s and women’ssupport groups for foreigners incommunities across the city andhave different topics for discus-sions. Topics range from sharingstories of loss, expectations and

realities of life in South Africa tolearning about their rights as for-eigners, health education, goalsetting and gender rights.

Building life skillsJennifer Katongole from Ado-

nis Musati Project says this is alife changing programme whichequips participants with so muchinformation. “Youwill build valu-able life skills like communica-tion and goal setting skills, whichhelps you to manage your lives,families and work better. Attend-ees will find valuable and correctinformation regarding theirrights as a foreigner as well asabout what resources are availa-ble to them,” says Katongole.Peoplewill also learn about how

to take care of their health.“You will have the opportunity

to share your stories and help touplift others and your communi-ty, and this is what we need for abetter society,” she says.Thenext round of groups begins

the first week of June in commu-nities across Cape Town.V Anyone who would like more informa­tion or to sign up should call the pro­gramme coordinator, Deogratious Katon­gole, at 021 762 4886.

Her vivid imagination has puther on the path of realising her

dreams.And now 20-year-old Tavia Mill-

ward from Ottery will soon be jet-ting off to Vancouver to fulfil herdream of becoming a successfulscreenwriter.However, the only thing stand-

ing in her way of successfully com-pleting a year course at the Van-couver Film School and “comingback to inspire the youth and cre-ate anarmyof screenwriters indis-advantaged areas and schools”, isR16 000. Millward needs people toassist and help raise this money soher seat can be kept at the filmschool that also delivered NeillBlomkamp, co-writer and directorof the critically acclaimed movieDistrict 9, as an alumni from thesame school.

“Becoming a screenwriter wasnot my first choice of career. Aftermatriculating, I applied to study inthe medical field. I assume I madethis choice because I enjoyedGrey’s Anatomy so much,” shelaughs.But Millward says her obsession

with the medically-set series wasnot because she enjoyed the field it-self, but becuase she enjoyed thefilm work.And what has made her even

more determined in her bid tomake a success of this new chal-lenge iswhen someone told her shecouldn’t do it. “I had to fetch refer-ence letters from my high schoolprincipal andwhenwespokeaboutmy future plans and I told him thatIwill be doing screenwriting he ba-sically told me that I could not doit. I was shocked that someonewhois supposed to support and moti-vate the youth could tell me this.But that day I left his office and I

told him that I would prove himwrong,” she says.Millward studied at the Cape

Peninsula University of Technolo-gy in their film department beforeshe realised that she was more in-

terestedwith the idea of havingherownwork come to life off the pagesinstead of camera operating.“I spoke to my lecturers about

this and they were very suppor-tive. My one lecturer suggested

that I start looking at my optionsand that’s when I came across theVancouver Film School.”“I was doing my hair when the

call came through and the personon the other end introduced them-selves from the Vancouver FilmSchool. At that time I did not knowthat it was the call.”After confirming that shewasac-

cepted to the school, Millward saysshe informed her family, lecturersand classmates. “My familywasn’tsurprised,” she beams, “and mylecturers and classmateswere alsoall very supportive when theyheard I wasn’t coming back thisyear,” she says.She has started a crowdfunding

campaign that has reaped onlyR2300 so far. If shemisses her dead-line topay theR16 000 theypassheracceptance on to the next candi-date.V To donate to Tavia Millward, visit http://taviatequila.wix.com/howtofundadream

Mokoka victorious in OneRunIn his debut run over 12km, South Africa’s

Stephen Mokoka showed the internation-al contingent and the top three finishers

from 2015, Emmanuel Bett, Daniel Salel andTimothy Toroitich, a clean pair of heals atthe 2016 FNB Cape Town 12 OneRun thattook place in the Mother City on Sunday 15May.

Some 13 000 runners lined up in MarineDrive next to Woodbridge Island for the sec-ond running of the FNBCape Town 12OneR-un. As in 2015, conditions were near perfectwith the temperature sitting on 12 degrees.

A frenetic start saw the first kilometre be-ing covered in 02:41. When the lead bunchof fifteen athletes went through three kilo-metres in 08:17, it was clear that the chasefor the world best time of 33:31 was on thecards. Defending champion Emmanuel Bettof Kenya and country man Daniel Salel,were driving the lead bus with Mokoka andElroy Gelant in close attendance.

Both Gelant andMokoka hadmade it veryclear before the race that they were intenton making sure that the winner’s pursestayed on home soil.

The five kilometre mark came just insidethe harbour grounds as the athletes turnedoff Marine Drive, passing in 13:55. Once inthe harbour, it was Bett who started to turnthe screws to try and shake off the South Af-rican challenge, with Salel on his shoulder.Mokoka and Gelant were having none of

it and as the athletes hit 8km, Mokoka andGelant made the break, with Salel the onlyathlete to follow the South Africans.

The nine kilometre mark was reached in25:11. Salel, Mokoka and Gelant turned intoBree Street simultaneously for the final kilo-metre.

Gelant fell off with 800m to go. Salel andMokoka raced neck andneck to the linewithMokoka edging the Kenyan by one second,coming home in 33:34 to the 33:35 of Salel.

With that Mokoka shattered the previous

record of Mathews ‘Loop ‘n Val’ Motshwara-teu by 49 seconds and missed out on theworld best time of 31:33 by a mere three sec-onds.

“It was a hard race”, said Mokoka after-wards.

“Salel pushedmy right to the line but I amhappy thatwewon the race for SouthAfrica.

Elroy (Gelant) and I worked together andwere talking to each other the whole way.So I am happy we were able to work as ateam.”Mokoka has been adamant that South Af-

rica has the ability to take the race to theKenyans if they work as a team. “I wantedthe win first,” Mokoka went on to say ofbreaking the SA best time of Motshwarateu(34:23), “but the record is a big bonus.”The bonus was worth an additional

R10 000 to Mokoka over and above theR40 000 for first prize.In the women’s race, Irvette Van Zyl was

first across the line. While most expectedthat, Van Zyl had been battling with the flufor close on a week and almost withdrew aft-er four kilometres in. “Itwas hard. I felt real-ly bad and wanted to just stop.”

Van Zyl hung on though and despite feel-ing out of sortswent into the lead after sevenkilometres and was never headed.

“When Lebogang went through the first-two kilometres in sixminutes I was hangingon as best I could. I do not know how I wasable to just stick it out. I am very surprisedby the win.”

Van Zyl was originally planning on chas-ing the SA best time of Elana Meyer (38:39),but having just recovered from flu she sether sights on thewin crossing the finish linein 39:40.Results:Men:1. Stephen Mokoka - 00:33:342. Daniel Salel - 00:33:353. Elroy Gelant - 00:33:424. Sibusiso Nzima - 00:34:085. Sibabalwe Gladwin Mzazi - 00:34:09Women:1. Irvette van Zyl - 00:39:402.

Bringing home the Vans titleJordy Maree from Kalk Bay has clinched

the junior titles at theVansSurf ProClas-sic which was completed in epic 1.0 to 1.3

metre waves and ideal conditions at YoYo’sin Lambert’s Bay on Sunday.The first World Surf league (WSL) events

to be run north of Cape Town on the Westcoast of SouthArica, the Vans Surf Pro Clas-sic showcased the country’s best men andjunior surfers as they chased a total prize-purse ofR50 000 and invaluable points on thequalifying series and WSL Africa regionalrankings.The junior final saw a quartet of the coun-

try’s topu.18 rippers tearingup the pumpingA-frame peaks withMaree dominating fromstart to finish to clinch his first JQS eventtitle in style. Accumulating scores of 8.33and 9.33 on his opening rides, Maree had hisopponents in a combination situation fromthe outset. Jake Elkington, also from Kom-metjie, delivered a 7.67 but still needed anear-perfect 9.99 while Adin Masencampfrom Strand and Max Elkington (appearingin a final with his brother for the first time),needed to improve both their counting rideswhen the heat ended.“That’s my first JQS victory and I’m su-

per-stoked. I’ve been training hard and itwas good to get a win under my belt,” saysan elated Maree.“There were so many waves that I just

waited for priority and chose the best ones.

That played in my favour and I got an 8.33and a 9.33 which was enough for the win.”Themen’s semi-finals were nail-biting en-

counters punctuated by incredible manoeu-vreswith both going down to thewire. In thefirst, deVries rackedupanexcellent 8.83 andfollowed thatwith a 7.77 before DaveyBrandgot on the scoreboard. The goofy foot fromKommetjie respondedwith scores of 7.93 and8.33 and, needing 8.28 for a place in the final,he came agonisingly close when he wasawardedan8.10 onhis last ride in the closingseconds.“It went verywell in terms of themy strat-

egy and the riding of the waves, but it’stough to figure out what went wrong there,because I don’t know what really did,” saysa disappointed Brand.“I’ve surfed here at YoYo’s a few times and

I rate it highly. As a contest venue for a QSyou probably couldn’t get anywhere betterand its pretty awesome that Vans broughtthe event up here.”The final of the QS1000 rated men’s event

saw Beyrick De Vries from uMhlanga andMichael February from Kommetjie go headto head in a spectacular high-flying airshow. With a light crosswind blowing per-fectly into the rights, both surfers puntedmanoeuvres above the lip on virtually everyride and each ended up counting a pair ofeight-point scores.It was de Vries’ rides that impressed the

judges more though, and he earned his firstQS event title along with R12 000 in prize-money and 1000 pointswhenhis 8.67 and 8.47left him a slim 0.40 of a point ahead of Febru-ary’s 8.23 and 8.07.

“Thanks to the locals for letting us usetheirwaves and especially to Vans for bring-ing a QS event to a spot where the waves areso good,” said de Vries on the podium beforegoing on to thank his sponsors and familyfor their fantastic support. “Thankyou to ev-eryone who came, you looked left or rightand everybody was smiling. Big ups!”

His points haul moved de Vries into thetop 100 on the QS ranking after just twoevents this year,while February’s 750 pointssaw him jump into the top 30.

“The final was always going to be a toughone, especially against Beyrick and with thewaveswe’ve beenhaving,” said February. “Ihad priority for the last seven minutes andnothing came, but I’m happy anyway. Thiswave is the best, it really brings out the bestin everyone’s surfing and allows you to useyour whole repertoire of manoeuvres.”

The second semi saw February open upwith an 8.67 and an incredible 9.50 beforeMatt McGillivray (Jeffreys Bay) posted hisfirst meaningful score of 7.50. The lankyKommetjie ripper then added an even better9.60 which left McGillivray facing a daunt-ing 19.10 total, the highest of the event.

But SA’s highest raneked QS surfer took

off on a setwave andposted a perfect 10 pointride, his second of the event, to get back intocontention. Still requiring 9.10, McGillivraywaited patiently but did not get the opportu-nity to complete what would have a famouscomeback and had to settle for third placeoverall and a haul of 560 points and R3000.“I knew Mikey (February) was going to

throw down some big scores and he got twonines on the lefts. So I waited a long time fora set andmanaged a 10 to break the combina-tion, but nothing more came in the last cou-ple of minutes, said McGillivray.“I’m still happy withmy performance and

the way I surfed. And I’ve never had two 10sin an event, so I’m stoked.”The Vans Surf Pro Classic has set the bar

for performance surfing in SouthAfrica andYoYo’shas establishedan instant reputationas one of the best contest sites in the country,being likened to the famous Lower Trestlesin California by many of the competitorsVans Surf Pro Classic final results:1. Beyrick de Vries (uMhlanga) 1 000
