Ocean View resident Jacki Philander has been leftuncertain over the future of his vegetable garden,which he runs as a community project.

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

The growth of an Ocean View communi-ty project may be nipped in the bud.This as the founder and caretaker of

a vegetable garden waits to hear if he willbe allowed to keep his existing securitymeasures.Jacki Philander started a vegetable gar-

den in 2011 on council property inHydraAv-enue, with the aim of providing a healthy ac-tivity for local children and providing vege-tables for a feeding scheme.“Children come here during the day and

I keep them busy. I teach them how to plantand keep them away from negative influen-

ces, like drugs,” he says.“This was the first vegetable garden in

Ocean View and it inspired many others tostart their own.”Philander funds the garden from his own

pocket and everything grown is donated tothe Ocean View Care Centre and goes to-wards the centre’s feeding scheme, whichprovides for 90 crèche children.He says he was given the go ahead by a

local councillor, but a fewweeks ago was ap-proached by another councillor and law en-forcement officer, who insisted he will haveto remove the fence around his garden.Philander was also told he would have to

break down a structure on the site whichhouses pigeons.

However, Philander insists both of theseare vital for the success of his garden.The fence prevents his vegetables frombe-

ing stolen before they can be put to good use.The pigeon coop is kept to provide drop-pings, which Philander converts into com-post. The shed also houses his tools, some ofwhich have been stolen before.

Giving up“The land has been lying here for years.

It would be different if I was building houseson it, but I’m maintaining the ground andproviding a community service,” he says.If Philander is forced to remove the fence

around his garden, he will probably give upthe project, he says. Just the threat is keep-

ing him from planting further.“I don’t want to plant until I knowoneway

or the other. I need the fence or it will be afree-for-all,” he says. “I don’t sleep becauseI’m thinking about my garden. The Cityneeds to give me a decision either way.”Ward councillor Simon Liell-Cock says

complaints were received from members ofthe community.“Mr Philander was not told to remove the

structures. He was told that he needed to ob-tain permission. The structures contravenevarious building regulations and by-laws,”he says. “Gardening is welcome but it mustbe done within the ambit of the law, both na-tional and local, and City policy must be ap-plied equitably to all.”

Fishing rights come up for grabsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As public participation opens on the up-coming fishing rights allocation process,

transformation of the industry is taking cen-tre stage.

The department of agriculture, forestryand fisheries is holding consultation ses-sions on 10 sector policies, which are set toexpire this year, as well as a policy on fishprocessing.

The drafts were published last month andare up for public comment.

For the inshore sectors – which includelobster, net and abalone fishing – rights willbe split between small-scale fishers andlarge-scale companies.

This portion has yet to be decided, projectmanagerSueMiddleton says, but is expectedto be announced in October or November.

Always a controversial topic, says Middle-ton, is the balance between awarding rightsto historical holders and encouraging trans-formation, with which the department hasbeen mandated.

“It’s about balancing new entrants andcurrent rights holders. The fishing sector isaging and needs to let the youth and new peo-ple in,” she says.

Adequate inclusionOne of the criteria used to promote trans-

formation is allocation according to race.This will see the majority of rights allocatedto black-owned businesses, with less than atenth going to businesses with colouredowners.

Hout Bay resident Davina Jonathan saystransformation is happening through BEEin all sectors, but coloured communities arenot being adequately included.

“Why are only 9% of the rights being givento coloured fisherman? They should be in-cluded under the Constitution,” she says.

The process is also excluding small busi-nesses, Jonathan believes, as they can’t com-pete with commercial fisheries.

“Small businesses are often in the form ofa co-op working with only two boats. Theycan’t pull in the same tonnage as a commer-cial enterprise. They also don’t have thesame vessel accessibility and have onlysmaller five-metre boats. The current sys-

tem is excluding the small man and they ar-en’t given the opportunity to grow and moveup,” she says.

At a public meeting in Sea Point last week,Armin Weimar of the Wild Benguela Har-vest company, who had been in the industryfor 43 years, commented that four categoriesshould be created for applicants, whichwould encourage this transformation.

Different scoresHe believes categories should be created

for those who previously owned rights in asector, applicants with rights in other sec-tors, company applicants and then new en-trants.

“New entrants would be, for instance, fivecrewmen from a lobster boat that have fish-ed as a crew for their whole life and havenow formed a company,” he says.

These categories should be scored differ-ently to promote small-scale fishers receiv-ing rights alongside major companies, he be-lieves.

Fees up 26%Up for comment are also draft application

forms and application fees, which have in-creased by 26%. This is because there hasbeen no increase in the last ten years, Mid-dleton explains. However, small-scale fish-ers will not be required to pay these fees.

The application process is expected to costthe department R45m, with R10m recoveredthrough the application fees.

The results of the application process willbe announced in February next year.V Public consultation meetings will take place at themultipurpose hall in Ocean View and the Hout Baycivic centre on Monday 20 July between 10:00 andnoon. On Tuesday 21 July a meeting will take placein Fish Hoek between 10:00 and noon.

The fishing rights allocation process is now open for public consultation. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

Cyclist rides fromLondon for rhinosNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

After riding 15 000km, cyclist Pierre Har-wood arrived in his hometown of Fish

Hoek on Friday.The cyclist set out from London to cycle

to Cape Town in October, in aid of raisingfunds for Rhino Africa.The charity, which envisions seeing all

five rhino species thriving in the wild, isclose to Pierre’s heart.“I’m an African and I’d like our grand-

children to be able to see this magnificentanimal,” he says.He encouraged even small donations to

the fund, explaining that pocketmoneycould buy a ranger, who monitors and pro-tects a rhino, a new pair of boots.Pierre grewup inFishHoek, but has been

living and working as a quantity surveyorin the United Kingdom for the last 12 years.His nine-month tour took him through

France, Italy, Egypt, Ethiopia, Tanzania,Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Malawi, Zimbab-we, Botswana and Namibia.The tour took him from tourist destina-

tions, such as Nice and Rome, to the dustydeserts of Northern Africa.

He sat in traffic, made up of “old-schoolVW taxis, donkeys, three wheelers, motor-bikes and plumes of smoke” in Egypt, andcrossed the English Channel and two conti-nents during his trip.But the highlight of Pierre’s trip? Coming

home to Cape Town, where he was greetedby family and friends, balloons and a ban-ner.“I spent last night visiting my 100-year-

old gran. That was probably the highlightfor me. Seeing all my family here to wel-comeme is quite exciting and unexpected,”he says.However, not every part of the trip was

smooth riding, Pierre’s mother Teresa Har-wood explains. In Kenya, Pierre was givena police escort through some dangerous ter-ritory, with policemen amazed that he hadtravelled there by bicycle. He spent a fewnights in jail cells – some as a safe place tosleep, others due to red tape over visas.But none of the hold-ups have tarnished

Pierre’s memories of the journey.“Africa is an amazing place. There were

a million more high than low points of mytrip. The generosity of people was just in-credible.”V Read about his travels on www.wildbikeride.com.

Community callsfor interventionin gang crisisNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A victim support centre has called for acommission of inquiry into efforts to

end gang violence in the province.Gang prevention and intervention is a

shared responsibility which, according to aresearch report released by the TraumaCentre, is not visible enough in the prov-ince.Consequently, the socioeconomic rights

of survivors of gang violence are compro-mised by ongoing gang warfare and slug-gish efforts to rid communities of such orga-nised crime, Trauma Centre executive di-rector Valdi van Reenen-Le Roux says.The report focuses primarily on residents

of Manenberg and recommends an investi-gation into gang prevention and interven-tion efforts.However, Ocean View Care Centre

founder JohanKikillus saysOceanViewex-periences similar levels of gang violence.“Ocean View, in my opinion, has a gang

crisis. I take into account the large numberof groups of both males and females whoidentify themselves by a name and are in-volved in criminal activity. In 2013, I per-sonally counted 18 different gangs in OceanView. Our main drug dealers operate ingangs and they control turf. Occasionally,over the past five years, there have beenfights and even murders between thesegangs.”

Ongoing scourgeEwald Botha, spokesperson for provin-

cial minister of community safety Dan Pla-to, says the call for a commission of inquiryinto gang violence falls under the premier.“Our approach to deal with the impact of

the ongoing scourge of drugs and gangsneeds to also look at preventing our kidsfrombecoming involved.Wewill not be suc-cessful in breaking down the culture ofgangs and drugs if we try to do this as indi-viduals, or in isolation,” he says.The provincial government’s “whole-of-

society” approach to increase safety recog-nises that meaningful partnerships are es-sential ifweare tobe successful,Botha says.“We continue to partnerwith our commu-

nities and organisations operating in ourcommunities. These include our partner-ship with the religious fraternity, the op-portunities available at our Chrysalis andWolwekloof academies, as well as the exist-

ing opportunities for studying,” he says.

Failed“Frankly, all of the government’s at-

tempts to tackle gangsterism inOceanViewhave failed. The gangsters arenot the slight-est bit intimidated by the police and law en-forcement does not have a strong presence.Government needs to stop looking at gang-sters as criminals and take into accountthat all gangsters are people who generallyhave grown up in a system that has failedthem,” Kikillus says.This means addressing school drop-outs,

employment levels and social support.“I believe that if more was done to im-

prove the self-esteem, dignity and compe-tency of our youth, then they would be lessinclined to drop out of school and joingangs. This is an effort that requires thededicated collaboration of the community,churches, NGOs and government,” he says.However,Kikillus doesnot believe the an-

swer lies with a commission of inquiry.“I do not believe that any more inquiries

need to be done. It is plain to see what theproblems are. I fear that over the past 30years a huge amount of money has beenspent trying to name the problem when infact that money could have been prioritisedto fix the problem instead,” he says.The report suggests that researchmust be

done on gang violence as an act of torture,because of the government’s omission toeradicate gang violence. Further researchshould also be done on trauma-focused psy-chosocial interventions for people who ex-perience continuous trauma.Fellow researcher Tatenda Mawoyo ar-

gues that the research recommendations“confirmwhat policies and strategic frame-works have preached but not practised”.The report finds ongoing violence is the

biggest threat to victim rehabilitation. It al-so finds a strong link between ongoing vio-lence and continuous trauma.“Inadequate physical, human and finan-

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Staff at Muizenberg earth sciences consultancy UmvotoAfrica have been juggling their usual responsibilities at drilling sites and client officeswith production of a different sort – making cosy beanies for Mandela Day. These willbe presented to 55 children, aged 2-14, on Mandela Day at the Siyazama Special CareCentre in Gugulethu. Mandela Day was launched in recognition of Nelson Mandela’sbirthday via unanimous decision of the UN general assembly. It is a global movement tohonour his life’s work and to change the world for the better.


CAPE POINT

Whale rescuedAn adult humpback whale has been res-

cued off Cape Point after becoming tan-gled in rope and buoys.The South African Whale Disentangle-

ment Network responded to reports of a 15-metre adult whale in distress last week.On arrival volunteers found the whale

tired, with some damage to its tail causedby rope. It was entangled in five wraps ofrope around the base of its tail where it con-nects to the body, two floatation buoys andtwo wraps of rope around its left tail flukeand another wrap of rope around its righttail fluke. These anchored the whale totraps on the sea bed.Head of the networkMikeMeyer says: “A

complication was presented with the ropeitself being almost 20mm thick, meaning

that the specialised cutting equipmentwould be tested to its limit.”An extensive operation ensued, using the

specialised disentanglement equipment,and in an operation lasting 40 minutes allrope and buoys were successfully removedfrom the whale.“Because of the thick rope it took two vol-

unteers to pull on the cutting poles at thesame time while cutting on each wrap andcausing one pole to be damaged beyond re-pair from the weight of the rope and fromthe effort required to cut through the thickrope. It was incredibly satisfying to achievethe successful outcome”, Meyer says.Thewhale was followed for a while by the

team and it appeared healthy, strong andconfident despite some damage to its tail.

A specialist rescue team helped an adult humpback whale off Cape Point last week after itbecame tangled in rope and buoys.


locally. All divers, instructors,families and schools are calledto join the “finathon”. It’s a fun,healthyway to raise awareness.“Project Aware has recently

helped close loopholes in the EUfinning ban and secure interna-tional trade protections foreight of theworld’smost vulner-able sharks and rays,” saysAnia Budziak from ProjectAware.“It’s the healthy shark and

ray populations that supporttourism. Action is key.”V Visit the Finathon Cape Town pageon Facebook or contact Rochelle on082 560 1842 or [email protected].

Local divers are donatingtheir time onMandela Day to

create awareness against sharkfinning.Shark fishing is largely un-

regulated around the world.Overfishing, bycatches and fin-ning – the slicing of sharks’ finsand throwing away the rest ofthe body at sea – kills thousandsof sharks.This year a “finathon” will be

held on Saturday in the hopethat Mandela Day will encour-age participation.The challenge is to swim or

scuba to raise much-neededfunds for Project Aware inter-nationally and Shark Spotters

TAMING THE TEEN

Teenagers areslick artistsGAVIN FISH

Okay, so I did it last week. Ifobbed a teenager off!

I was asked on a Friday whenher project would be marked.Having missed my own dead-line I was already embarrassed.“You will have it on Tues-

day.”Thewordsweren’t even out of

my mouth before I realised thatit wouldn’t be possible.I apologised to her and ex-

plained what I had done. Ithelped that her project was ex-cellent and that when she even-tually received the mark shewas delighted.Teenageunaccountability is a

slick art form – the phrases rollout effortlessly: “In a minute,mom”, “It will be finished ontime”, “I am now there” (my fa-vourite) and the politicians’ “Itis enjoying attention”.It is more than just plain teen

laziness and a case of “living inthe moment”. Fobbing off andprocrastination are bedmates.The difference is that we canprocrastinate and do damage tono-one but ourselves, but withfobbing off, we are doing it to

someone else.It goes to our credibility and

general aura of trustworthi-ness. Teens need to understandthat it is more than enough tosee you overlooked for a promo-tion, not having your weekendcurfew extended.Say what youmean andmean

what you say. In this age of po-litical correctness, we find our-selves not sayingwhat wemeanand, in this age of unaccounta-bility, we find ourselves notmeaning what we say.So don’t back off when offered

the trite “In a minute” – insiston which minute and then holdthem to that minute. When theprocrastination will hurt themalone, leave them to it. When itis fobbing off, find the right mo-ment to explain the disrespect.Leave them when the conse-

quences are not too extreme. Anatural consequence communi-cates more effectively than athousand words. Plastic sur-gery because a child was left toput his hand into the fire is ri-diculous; having to walk thetwo kilometres home becauseyou weren’t where you said youwould be, is not.

The City of Cape Town has heard offewer pipe bursts in the first fivemonths of the year.This, the City says, is thanks to its

pipe replacement programme, inten-sified maintenance efforts and pres-suremanagement initiatives. In total2330 pipe bursts were repaired by theCity from July last year to the end ofMay – 614 fewer than the same periodin the previous year. TheCity also re-ported that 24 bursts per 100km ofpiping were reported over the2014/2015 financial year, compared to31 per 100km of piping in 2013/2014.The City says the good news can

been put down to its focus on bothpressure management and pipe re-placement and rehabilitation. Exten-sive implementation of water pres-suremanagement systems in variousareas, including Langa, Bishop La-vis, Retreat, Crossroads and Pine-lands, also helped.“It is estimated that 42 000kF of wa-

ter is saved every day through ourpressure management programme.This is the equivalent of 17 Olympic-sized swimming pools,” says ErnestSonnenberg, mayoral committeemember for utility services.Programmes throughout the city

focus on replacing infrastructure inproblem areas.“The City’s replacement pro-

gramme has seen the replacement ofa total of nearly 37km of our networkso far this year. The pipeline replace-ment programme improves servicedelivery to residents and businessesas new pipesminimise the number ofpipe bursts and water disruptions.Cape Town is a water-scarce city andour work to repair, replace and up-grade water pipes has helped us se-cure water in Cape Town for the fore-seeable future,” concludes Sonnen-berg.

Fewer pipeburstsacross city

More chances for jobsWith a high unemployment rateacross the country, theCity ofCapeTown is leaving no stone unturnedin trying to create job opportuni-ties.In the current financial year the

municipality hopes to help thou-sands of unemployed residentswith short- to medium-term jobsthrough its expanded public worksprogramme (EPWP).According to a statement the

City aims to create 42 500 tempo-rary jobs through the EPWP pro-gramme which will see 2500 morepeople being employed – up from40000 in the previous financial year.The EPWP is a national govern-

ment initiative launched in 2004,with the aim of giving unemployedSouth Africans a hand up throughtemporary jobs to earn some formof income, but also to acquire skillsthat could make them more em-ployable.Since 2011, the City has created

more than 140 000 temporary jobs.By the end of June next year, thetotal should be close to 180 000. Thededicated budget in the last four fi-nancial years, including thenew fi-nancial year, stands at R466m, ex-cluding those budgets whereEPWP jobs are created throughservice providers.Suzette Little, mayoral commit-

teemember for social developmentand early childhood development,says the various City departmentssubmit plans as to how they willcontribute to the EPWP employ-ment scheme every year.

“Our biggest contributor is utili-ty services, in particular the solidwaste management departmentwhere a number of the job seekersare accommodated. Transport forCape Town, human settlementsand community services are theother three top employers withintheCity for the programme. In fact,these four directorates were re-sponsible for nearly 75% of allwork opportunities created in thelast financial year.”The type of work opportunities

include administrative assistance,community care, river and alienvegetation clearing, stonemasonrywork, general work supporting ex-

isting service delivery projectssuch as cleaning and minor main-tenance as well as youth develop-ment work.Currently, there are 402 701 peo-

ple registered on the City’s jobseekers database.All unemployed residents who

are interested and willing to workon the programme are required toregister at their nearest subcoun-cil office to be considered for op-portunities. Job seekers are alsoreminded to update their contactinformation if it changes and tovisit the subcouncil offices at leastonce a year to ensure that their reg-istration remains valid.

Some of the workers who have been given temporary or permanent workthrough a City programme.


A dredging operation of the sand bar atthe mouth of the Zandvlei Estuary Na-

ture Reserve has started as part of the nec-essary rehabilitation action of this estuarywhich is an important estuarine nurseryarea for fish.The build-up of sand in the estuary has

occurred over the last 40 years. Althoughthe accumulation of sand has at times beeninterrupted by past dredging operations, ithas been building up, especially over thepast decade.The extra sediment has reduced flowand

depth to the point where it restricts move-ment of fish into and out of the estuary andmay increase the risk of flooding up-stream. It also reduces the flushing of ex-cess nutrients out of the estuarine system.

Ensure estuary functionsThe accumulation of sand is the direct

result of the rubble weir at the mouth ofthe estuary which, amongst others, had tobe constructed to protect the sewer line.In a natural system, sand brought in by

wave action tends to accumulate duringsummer. In winter, scouring duringstorms far outweighs sand input by waveaction. Estuary mouths also tend to mi-grate laterally as part of the process. Theresult is that the depth of an estuary, par-ticularly near themouth, tends to fluctuatebetween deep and shallow phases.The weir slows the speed of flow at the

bottomof the estuary quite severely, there-by reducing scouring and causing a net ac-cumulation of sediment. The dredging op-eration, if continued every few years asneeded, will assist to ensure the estuaryfunctions.The dredging operation will have a

short-term negative effect on benthic crea-tures such as prawns, crabs and blood-worms. The strategic parts of the sand barwill be left as holding areas for the purposeof the re-colonisation of any affected crea-tures. It is expected, however, that anypop-ulations that could be affected will recoverquickly, as has been the case in past dredg-ing operations.

Stored, then usedSediment will be stored on both banks

while drying and will then be removed foruse in projects elsewhere as needed. A re-habilitation plan is also in place for banksthat are damaged during operation of thedredging equipment, and they will be re-stored to abetter condition thanat the startof the project.The dredging activity has been approved

through the general rivermaintenance en-vironmental impact assessment authorisa-tion given to theCity ofCapeTown for vari-ous activities in rivers and wetlands.Dredgingwill be phasedacross anumber

of financial years. The first phase will in-clude the removal of approximately2 000m³ of sand.Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve is one

of 16 protected areas managed by the City.These areas conserve a variety of excep-tional biodiversity and provide numerousrecreational and economic opportunities.

storm since arriving on the scene in 1985.Nearly three decades later, Newsboys areundeniable industry leaders with 33 num-ber one hit singles and multiple GrammyAward nominations.The band also appeared in the film

God’s not Dead in 2014.A constant throughout the career of

Newsboys is their desire to intentionallypraise God.“If God’s not dead, then let’s worship

Him,” declares lead singer Michael Tait.Michael appreciates being a Newsboy be-cause their music always shares the gos-

pel outright. “Themessage is unchangingwhether you look at a song as rock orwor-ship,” he says.Newsboys will be on tour in South Afri-

ca in associationwith 104Concerts, Tyger-berg 104FM and GROOTfm 90.5.V Tickets for the show on 29 July are available atitickets.co.za.

The first annual Cape Flats film festival andself-worth talk, which starts later thismonth, aims to challenge the historicallycreated and presently sustained stereotypesof the Cape Flats.The festival is thebrain child ofEmile Jan-

sen, better known as Emile YX? of the BlackNoise hip-hop group and Heal the Hoodproject, and forms part of the Cape Flats up-rising initiative.“The Cape Flats has been stereotyped as

a gang- and drug-ridden community, whilethemajority of the people living in this com-munity are good people,” Emile says.“We have noticed that many young people

internalise the stereotype.”

Tell storiesEmile says that it’s now up to the people

to make the change they need.Besides challenging stereotypes, the festi-

val also aims to encourage the youth to telltheir own stories and get involved with thefilm industry by teaching them skills andproviding film-related opportunities.The festival will begin, unofficially, on

Monday 27 July with the screening of thedocumentary Afrikaaps at schools and com-munity centres. The film will be screened atdifferent venues every day until 10 August.

Best music video awardThe actual film festival will run from this

Sunday to Sunday 23 August and will in-clude full-length and short documentaries aswell as workshops, Q&As and talks.This year’s festival will also include a

Cape Flats best music video award, with thewinner being decided by the community.Emile hopes to expand the awards in the

future to include a script-writing competi-tions and innovative dance crew and indi-vidual video awards.He also hopes to run a summer edition of

the festival in December.V Visit the Cape Flats film festival Facebook group formore information about the festival and programme.

ey player, with WP colours.Asked why he prefers hockey

and water polo to more popularsports like rugby, cricket and soc-cer, he says he did play soccerwhen he was at primary school.But when he moved from St Ge-orge’s Grammar School to Can-nons Creek Independent School,soccer was not offered, so he tookup hockey.“I played hockey in Grade 2 at St

George’s so the sport wasn’t new tome and I moved straight to theu.13A team. I felt this sport wasright for me as it was kind of likesoccer, but with a stick.“Water polo was new at Cannons

Creek and I started this in Grade6. By Grade 7 I was playing in theWestern Province u.13A team. Ithink water polo was easier for mebecause of my history in swim-ming. And I just continued playingthese sports until now.”Dannonsays that despitehishec-

tic training schedule, he makestime for academics as that is veryimportant to him. “I try to com-

plete schoolwork as soon as I get it,sometimes sacrificing my breaksto do work. Being a good sports-man is inmybloodas almost every-one inmy family played their sportat provincial level. Somany peoplemake the excuse that they can’tcomplete work because of theirsport, but it all really comes downto time management,” he says.He trains every day. “I have

hockey by day andwater polo from17:30 to 19:00. The only real rest dayI have is on Saturday and I spendhalf of the day at the gym and theother half with friends.”When asked where he sees him-

self in five years’ time, he has aninteresting point of view. “I knowmost people that are good in sportwould say stuff like playing fortheir country and earning tons ofcash, but I value education and be-lieve you should always havesomething to return to in case thesporting career doesn’t work out. Iplan to use my sport more as a keyto a full-time job, a key to accessgreat universities and succeed inlife.

World best join in local chess fightREMO ANDREWS

The battle lines were drawn atthe Cape Sun Hotel last weekas some of the world’s strong-

est chess players gathered to con-test this year’s South African OpenChess Festival.

The event was supported by theWestern Cape department of cul-tural affairs and sport.

Advocate Lyndon Bouah, chiefdirector of sport and recreation,says: “In developing a winning na-tion it is important to improve in-ternational sports successes bysupporting events at all levels.

“Achieving an active and win-ning nation is underpinned by anenabling environment.

“The staging of this event at theCape Sun is part of our campaignto bring big sport events to theWestern Cape.”

South Africa’s first ever grand-master, Kenny Solomon, markedhis return to competition on SouthAfrican soil, which was also hisfirst tournament on home soil afterofficially receiving the title of

grandmaster earlier this year.Solomon, originally from Mitch-

ell’s Plain and a previous winnerof the tournament, placed fourth inthis year with a score of 8.5.

“It was a tough tournament witha lot of strong players. I am happythat we were able to have fourgrandmasters participating thisyear,” he says.

“It is important that foreigngrandmasters participate in SouthAfrican chess events – this is howchess can grow in our country.”

Junior playersThe tournament also incorporat-

ed the SA schools individual chesschampionship. The championshipsaw some of the best junior playersin the country come up againsteach other.

Former national junior teamcoach Calvin Klaasen believes thatyoung players have an opportunityto make a career of the game if thesupport shown at the SA open con-tinues to grow.

“It’s important for young playersto identify with heroes, to have

something to strive for.“There are limited opportunities

for young players in South Africato progress to a professional levelat the moment, but that can changeif we are supported correctly. Ken-ny’s grandmaster title is just stepone in South Africa becoming apowerful chess country,” he says.

Solomon, who now lives in Italy,believes that events of this natureneed to happen more often if we areto produce more international-grade players.

“Chess events like these helppeople build connections as wewere there competing for over aweek, so apart from the playingthere is also the post-game analysisand it’s in these sessions wherechess players can take the opportu-nity to learn even more,” he says.

English chess legend grandmas-ter Nigel Short emerged victoriousat the end of the 11-round event. Hegained the title based on a tie-breaksystem, after ending on nine pointsalongside grandmaster AleksaStrikovic from Serbia and India’sgrandmaster Abhijit Kunte.

Short has been playing with thebest since he became a grandmas-ter at age 19. He was regularlyplaced in the top ten in the worldbetween the late 1980s and late1990s.

He became the first English play-er to play for the World Chess

Championship title when heplayed against Garry Kasparov in1993.

Solomon will next travel to Gaut-eng along with Short to play in aqualifier for one of the biggestchess tournaments in the worldtaking place in Las Vegas.
