SIGHT FOR SORE EYES: Soft colours grace the False Bay shoreline at the onset of twilight earlier this month.Reader Gerhard Slabbert, who took this photo, says, “St James walkway was perfect on this beautiful sunsetevening”.

A Diamantein the roughDALEEN FOUCHÉ

A SETTLEMENT has beenreached between DemindexProperties, the company respon-sible for the rejuvenation of Mui-zenberg’s Le Diamante building,and contractor Marmorand.

Marmorand, which according toits website is a supplier of custom-ised wall coatings, applied to theCape High Court for Demindex’sprovisional liquidation after thecompany failed to pay an outstand-ing bill for services rendered.

The Le Diamante developmenthas transformed the dilapidatedMuizenberg building, once knownas the “Peppermint Slums”, and thesite is now beginning to resemblethe artist’s impression of the com-pleted project. Once finished, thebuilding will consist of 39 residen-tial units, each set to sell for underR1 million.

Mike Charles, financial directorfor Marmorand, would not divulgethe amount owed to the company byDemindex Properties, though theliquidation application reflects anamount of R162 000.

Rika Lourens, director of Demin-dex Properties, says there was un-certainty about the amount duringthe court proceedings, but the set-tlement figure is R108 000.

After the settlement on Wednes-day, Demindex Properties was in-structed to pay all money owed toMarmorand within 30 days – whichends on 23 September.

In November last year, People’sPost reported that an electricianworking on the develpment had ac-cused Demindex of withholdingpayment (“Contractor claims non-

payment for work on Le Diamante”,16 November 2010). At the time,Lourens maintained said this was aresult of a dispute over a quantitysurveyor’s estimate.

Danie Rossouw, legal representa-tive for the electrician, says his cli-ent still has not been paid.

He says his client is aware of theapplication for liquidation, and isconsidering joining the proceed-ings.

Come what may, Lourens says, itis “in the best interest of all parties”that the development is completed.

She says funding for the develop-ment has finally been secured, mak-ing up for the “misappropriation”of the original R10 million paid tothe attorney of Cape Shore Invest-ments, the seller of Le Diamante, asthis paper reported in May.

People’s Post now has in its pos-session a letter in which the Com-mercial Crime Investigation Unitconfirms to Lourens that the CapeTown-based law firm accused oftaking the money is being investi-gated.

According to Lourens, the attor-ney in question was arrested and iscurrently out on bail. People’s Postcould not confirm this with theCommercial Crime InvestigationUnit before going to print.

Lourens placed a claim with theFidelity Fund to recover the money,and says the fund will make a deci-sion on the matter next week. Lou-rens says she is “confident” that themoney will be paid out, because theDemindex has a “strong case”.

Lourens goes on to say that thisexplains why the building is still inCape Shore Investment’s name, andhasnot been transferred toDemind-ex Properties.

Trevor Blake, director of Reve-nue for the City of Cape Town, con-firms that there was an applicationin 2010 for the transfer of Le Dia-mante from Cape Shore Invest-ments to Dimendex Properties, butsays the transfer has not yet beenlodged at the Deeds Office.

Lourens says the lawyer underinvestigation was supposed to havetake care of the transfer, but neverdid so. She assures it will take placeonce the funding has been settled.

Lourens says she has secured in-stitutional finance of R17 millionfor Demindex Properties, but main-tains that the funding will only beavailable once the City has ap-

proved the building plans for LeDiamante.

She says the approval is almostcomplete. “It is a matter of crossingthe t’s and dotting the i’s.”

Cheryl Walters, director for Plan-ning and Building DevelopmentManagement for the City, says thebuilding plans cannot be approveduntil land use approvals are inplace. “Consent and departure ap-plications still need to be consid-ered. This is expected to be complet-ed within seven to 10 days,” saysWalters.

Meanwhile, Lourens announcedyesterday (Monday) that 50% of De-mindex Properties had been sold to

a “major” Chinese group, thoughshe could not divulge the buyer’sidentity.

Lourens says this decision wastaken to make Demindex Proper-ties BEE compliant, and states thatit will make the company more“broad based”.

Formerly known as South Sandsand locally dubbed the “Pepper-mint Slums” because of its colour,the Main Road building at the cen-tre of this matter was a notoriousdrug den filled with squatters.

Tenants were evicted on 1 July2008, and Dimendex bought theproperty at an auction in 2009 forR12.8 million.

Rubbish collection still on trackAROUND 2 206 people – or 8,74% – of theCity of Cape Town’s workforce were ab-sent from work without authorisationlast week.

The figure includes staff who intend-ed to go to work, but were preventedfrom doing so by striking union mem-bers.

The City of Cape Town says its contin-gency plans remain effective, and thatwhile its cleaning work has been dis-ruptedowing to intimidationof staff andcontractorsby strikingworkers, theSol-id Waste Management Department hasmade “good progress” in clearing therubbish collection backlog while stillmanaging to meet the majority of lastweek’s requirements.

The City will continue with the samerefuse collectionplanas it has for thedu-ration of the strike.If refuse is not collected by 21:00 on the

scheduled collection day this week, resi-dents are asked to pull their bins backinto their properties until the nextweek.

People living in informal settlementshave been asked to make use of the ship-ping containers placed throughout theirneighbourhoods.

Alderman Demetri Qually, MayoralCommittee member for Corporate Serv-ices and Western Cape chairperson ofthe South African Local GovernmentAssociation (Salga), has sent a memo-randum, handed over by representa-tives of the Independent Municipal andAllied Workers’ Union, to Salga’s na-tional office.

Proud procurement is pivotalRESPONSIBLE procurement of goods and serv-

ices is critical to the growth and health of SA’seconomy – and, as such, government’s objective ofcreating five million jobs by 2020 – says ProudlySouth African.

Eustace Mashimbye, chief financial officer of Proud-ly South African, says the proper management of pro-curement (which is sometimes the only opportunity forsmall enterprises to interact with big businesses) canhelp a business maximise its resources.

“Procurement, if used correctly – especially throughlegislation and sourcing rules – can be instrumentalin creating and sustaining much-needed jobs in anyeconomy. It is a strategic tool, mostly overlooked whenprocurement decisions are made, and its economic sig-nificance is often underplayed, if not completely ig-nored.”Thebiggest procurement challenge facedbySAcompanies, Mashimbye says, is the need to vie for localcontracts with highly competitive international coun-terparts – though this competition is also necessary fora healthy economy. Other factors impacting negativelyon sourcing and trading in local products include theinflux of illegal products and the dumping or under-in-voicing of imports in SA. The participation of SA inBRICS – an international grouping of emerging mar-kets comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and SouthAfrica – will on one hand offer potential new markets,but will also open SA’s borders to more imports, Mash-imbye says. Mashimbye feels it is of great importantthat the public and private sectors explore ways uselocal procurement to their advantage, and says busi-nesses and decision makers need to ask themselveswhether they’re contributing to creating jobs throughtheir procurement practices. “It should not just be leftto government to develop and grow local enterprises.Local manufacturers continue to take strain, and insome sectors many jobs are lost as companies closedown as a result of the lack of support from local retail-

ers.“Price should not almost always be the only deter-

mining factor for making purchasing decisions.”Mashimbye says the biggest challenge many local man-ufacturers seem to face is that, despite being able tocompete in terms of price and quality, they are not evengiven the opportunity to do so.

In a bid to regulate unfair procurement practices, Fi-nance minister Pravin Gordhan launched the Industri-al Policy Action Plan 2, designed to curb tender fraudand help local companies with funding and policies toimprove capacity levels and competitiveness. Underthe plan, the government will also be required to givepreference to local goods and services where possible.

This links up with the codes of practice laid out ingovernment’s Broad Based Black Economic Empower-ment policy, which stresses “preferential procure-ment” in favour of emerging enterprises.

Tying into government’s plans, Proudly SA is devel-oping a database made up of local companies that pro-duce quality products and services with a high levelof local content, environmentally friendly practicesand fair treatment of workers. Proudly SA hopes to de-velop the database into the leading go-to for procure-ment in both the public and private sectors.

Bronze sculpture stolen from galleryDALEEN FOUCHÉ

A BRONZE sculpture of ayoung boy holding a fish

was stolen from an gallery inSimon’s Town last week.

Heather Auer, artist and own-er of the Heather Auer Art andSculpture Gallery in the Quay-side Centre, says she does notknow exactly when the thievesstruck – the theft was only no-ticed on Thursday.

She says the sculpture waslast seen on Wednesday.

The missing sculpture, titled

“Boy with fish”, is about 30cmin height and worth R7 900. Au-er says this is the sec-ond time one of herbronze sculptures hasbeen stolen.

The last was takenfrom her gallery whenit was in Hout Bay; itwas recovered, and Au-er hopes the latest willexperience a similarstroke of luck.

The artist suspectsthe thief watched the galleryand grabbed the sculpture at anopportune moment.

Auer, who has many such art-works in the store, says she has

tightened se-curity to pre-vent anothertheft.

“I am veryparanoidabout theother sculp-tures, andhave takenmeasures tosecure

them.”Auer, who has opened a case

at Simon’s Town Police Station,

says there is a very high de-mand for bronze at the moment.“It is very valuable,” she says.

Indeed, in July a bronzesculpture of two vervet mon-keys, created by Richard Gun-ston, was stolen out of the Long-beach Art Gallery (“Bronzemonkeys missing”, People’sPost, 19 July).

Gunstan says there is still nosign of his sculpture, and he’smade his peace with its theft.

Simon’s Town police con-firmed that a case has beenopened and are currently inves-tigating the matter.

Kalk BaypoacherscaughtNEARLY 250kg of unshucked abalone –worth R8 000 – were confiscated in Kalk Bayon Thursday night, and two men were ar-rested in connection with the find.

The arrest was made after a Kalk Bay res-ident approached Warrant Officer Christodu Toit of the Fish Hoek police while theofficer was travelling from Muizenberg tohis station in Fish Hoek.

The resident told Du Toit of two men be-having suspiciously in the vicinity of StJames Railway Station, then led the officertowhere theywere last seen.Thepair foundthe men near the train station’s subway.

A quick search turned up a hefty 232kgof unshucked abalone, believed to havebeen poached earlier that evening, and DuToit placed both men under arrest.

The suspects – aged 26 and 27 – were de-tained at Muizenberg Police Station andcharged with possession of abalone withouta permit.

Colonel Martin Swanepoel, MuizenbergCluster commander, is extremely pleasedwith the arrest. He praises the sharp-eyedresident, and again stresses the importanceof a good relationship between officers andthe community.

A new era for the Fish Hoek CIDDALEEN FOUCHÉ

THE Fish Hoek Central Business Dis-trict (CBD) has been improving under

the watchful eye of Frank Johnstone,manager of the Fish Hoek ImprovementDistrict (CID) for over ten years.

But Johnstone says he has decided to retireafter achieving his goals in Fish Hoek.

Julian Hobson, chairperson of the CID, an-nounced that the CID executive committeewill be looking for a person to fill the positionof manager, but admits that the right candi-date will have big shoes to fill.

The Fish Hoek CID was established in Jan-uary 2000, by Janet Holwill, chairperson ofthe Fish Hoek Residents and Ratepayers As-sociation with the valuable input from thelate Clive Wakeford, who was a prominent lo-cal community leader and business man.Hobson says Wakeford was the Chairman ofthe Fish Hoek CID since its establishment.

Johnstone played a central role in the for-mation of the CID from the start, says Hob-son.

Hobson explains that a CID’s mandate is toaddress the “crime and grime” of a CBD.

The Fish Hoek CID boundaries, stretchfrom Kommetjie Road to Central Road andfrom Third Avenue to Beach Road.

There are currently 25 CID’s in Cape Town.“The Fish Hoek CID has the smallest budg-

et and the least crime of all the CID’s in CapeTown,” boasts Johnstone.

But he is quick to admit that the CID couldnot achieve this without the help of other or-ganisations in Fish Hoek.

He says the CID works closely with the 20Fish Hoek Valley neighbourhood watches un-der the Community Policing Forum, the FishHoek Residents and Ratepayers Association,the Fish Hoek Business Chamber, the Emer-gency Control Centre (ECC), the police Trau-ma room, the Fish Hoek police and Law En-forcement. Hobson adds that the CID also fos-ters good relationships with the subcouncilmanager, and the local ward councillors.

He says since the start of the CID, it hasachieved many of its goals.

Johnstone says the Fish Hoek CBD is a saf-er and cleaner place.

He explains that the majority of buildings,were problem buildings.

These were identified and cleaned up. TheCID also launched the successful “Keep FishHoek Beautiful” campaign which encouragesbusinesses to beautify their premises, andhas been running for over six years. John-stone says that with the help of Mach 1, whichis in charge of security in the CBD, the CIDhas installed 13 license plate recognitionCCTV cameras in and around the CBD.

“This is a great crime prevention strategy,”says Hobson. He explains how a shoplifterwas tracked from Pick ’n Pay to RecreationRoad with the help of CCTV cameras. Fur-thermore, the CID employs two cleaners andseveral official parking attendants.

Johnstone says that over the past years, hehas learned how important “community” is.“When I walk around the Fish Hoek CBD inthe evenings, I feel safe.” He says that Fish

Hoek has given him “so much” over the yearsand that he is honoured to have been able to“give back” to Fish Hoek.

Hobson says Johnstone was always gener-ous with his time. “We are hugely in debt toFrank,” says Hobson.

IN CHARGE: Julian Hobson, chairperson of the Fish Hoek CID, Frank Johnstone and ManuChoudree, owner of Mach 1, which holds the security contract for the Fish Hoek CBD.

National shameSOUTH AFRICAN musician Art Matthews tookour national anthem to a new embarrassingheight when he bungled the words of “NkosiSikelel’ iAfrika” on live TV.

Among the things we hold up proudly as a na-tion are our Madiba, our democracy, hosting asuccessful Fifa World Cup last year and our na-tional anthem – all truly representative of ourkaleidoscope nation.

Every time our national anthem is performed,we stand up with pride because it unites us andis uniquely South African, down to its “Uit dieblou van onse hemel” verses.

Art’s pathetic rendition of our national an-them is unforgivable, especially since he is asSouth African as skaapkop and braaivleis.

Born Ard Matthews in Durban in 1975, his mu-sical career spans 15 years, from busking on thestreets of London to becoming lead vocalist andfounder of the band Just Jinjer (formerly JustJinger), now based in the United States.

Then, on 23 August, during the announcementof the Springbok squad for next month’s RugbyWorld Cup, Art put himself and – with the excep-tion of a few (probably) deaf fans – most of thenation to shame when he fumbled his waythrough the national anthem.

He didn’t even know the opening line of “Nko-si Sikelel’ iAfrika”. During a storm of publicbacklash, one radio listener summed up Art’sartless performance artfully when he said:“They should have taken the child from the FNBad to sing our anthem”.

A good choice, as the little girl knows thewords to her anthem and sings it confidently.

After his unforgettable forgetting of the wordsto the anthem was slammed, Art apologised, say-inghewas “utterly devastated, embarrassedandsorry”.

He said he was overcome with emotion andnerves; this after nearly two decades in the mu-sic industry, performing to national and inter-national audiences. In fairness, itwasnot askingtoo much of an accomplished South African art-ist to simply sing the words of our anthem withauthority and afford it the dignity and respectit deserves.

. Dog walking permits are necessary tokeep beaches and surrounds maintained. Theincrease in population – human and dogs –dictates this. Table Mountain National Parkdoes a great job.

. Marilyn Jeftha, you really amuse andshock me with your mentality. Surely you canfigure it out that if you just stay within thebounds of the law you would not have to partwith your hard-earned cash. Pat H

. The dog walking programme at The Em-ma Animal Rescue Society is ongoing. EveryWednesday, Friday and Sunday at 10:00 thedogs are exercised. Phone (021) 785-4482 for anorientation course.

. To the great team at CMR who were therefor me in my time of need on Monday 22 Au-gust, a big thank you. Rachel, Capri

Respect your neighbours. Sleep Deprived, I sympathise with you.

I have a neighbour with a dog that barks atnothing. The lady who owns it does nothingto stop it, and shouldn’t be allowed to keep adog.

. On Thursday, I witnessed a bunch of hoo-ligans (school kids) between 8 and 11 shoutingat kids in another bus. The children were us-ing disrespectful words, and the boys wereshowing their middle fingers to the others.Parents, what are you projecting to your chil-dren?

It saddened my heart, because this is ournext generation.

Strike!. As for the municipal workers’ strike, I get

outraged when I see those buffoons rummag-ing through the rubbish like baboons. Thissavage behaviour must be crushed, but thenthe question is, do we still have a police force?Pat H

. Striking for higher wages is becoming anannual thing. Instead, strike for lower pricesto be implemented.

By the way. Bring back the Narcotics Squad. The re-

hab facilities are poor for the unemployed.Nobody is prepared to give a rehabilitateddrug addict a job. After trying for two years,I am afraid he is going to go back to stealingand drugging. Not even his IT diploma is help-ing him.

. I find it sad how young girls seem to goout with boys that don’t have jobs. Then theystill have children with them.

. We had yellow lines painted opposite ourdriveway in our narrow road, but some folkthink its their personal parking bay!

. To the person speaking about the counciloutsourcing its work: They don’t even com-plete the job and they get paid.

. To my darling Ghulaab, it’s Ruby wishingyou an enjoyable and a blessed Eid. May it befilled with warmth and joy. I wish I couldspend the day with you.

. The article on the healing power of horseswas beautiful. Please write more uplifting ar-ticles that make our hearts happy. Rachel,Plumstead

. I applied for a metered taxi licence in De-cember 2010. They told me it would take threemonths. They sent a letter after the 90 dayssaying my application had been rejected dueto over-trading. Worst of all, the City of CapeTown has not issued permits for the last threeyears. The Department of Transport nevertold me about this. I paid R300 and got nothingin return. I’m still unemployed. I bought mycar in October 2010 and got my licence in Jan-uary and my PDP in February. It’s so unfair.Why didn’t they tell me they weren’t issuingpermits? Why lie to me? I dare not operate ille-gally. I wonder how many people have alsobeen deceived. It’s criminal.

Masi’s still waitingTO ALL in power: The township ofMasiphumelele – the Wetlands in particular– has been waiting for service delivery.

Helen Zille and her officials promised theresidents of Masiphumelele street restruc-turing and temporary shacks from the City

of Cape Town after the vote, but you nevercame back, and the residents of Masiphume-lele are still waiting.

Deputy president Kgalema Montlante vis-ited Masiphumelele before local governmentelections to campaign, but the residents werenot aware that he was joking about the firethat broke out in the area of Wetlands.CONCERNED

Vicious dogs, careless ownersON Tuesday 23 August, after 11:00, I took mysmall Scottish terrier for a walk on a lead inthe Silvermine Conservation area in Clove-ly, close to Hilton Road. Suddenly two dogs,neither of them on a lead, came round a cor-ner in the path about 15 metres from us. Oneof them, a pitbull with perhaps a bit of staffy,immediately flew at my dog and got its teethinto her neck. The other dog joined in with-out inflicting any damage.

A moment later a woman appeared roundthe corner, and hearing me shouting, told menot to panic, and walked without unduehaste towards her dog, which had locked itsjaws and was now inflicting serious pain onmy dog.

With great difficulty, including awkward-ly twisting my leg, on which I have had a hipreplacement, we managed to separate thedogs.

In the course of this the woman, who saidshe was a nurse, explained to me that the in-cident was my dog’s fault, as she probablygave out an aura of anxiety which inducedthe attack! She had got her dog from TEARS,who had told her it was not vicious. In viewof the well known propensity of Pitbulls to

be dangerous, I found this a strange state-ment, to say the least.

And shehad let her dogs off a lead, she said,because she had not expected to meet anyoneelse at that time of day.

The whole thing was a frightening and un-nerving experience, but what makes it evenworse is that I receivednot awordof apology,and certainly no indication of her identity oran interest in paying my vet’s bill. Indeedthis seems to be the norm with the ownersof vicious dogs.

As I made my way unsteadily back to myhouse, a near neighbour asked if I was al-right, and when I told him my story he saidhe had been bitten by a dog on Fish Hoekbeach a week or so ago, and also got nothingbut abuse from the owner.

And then there is the letter from JamesBell of Kommetjie in your edition the sameday as my attack (“Anger after bull terrierbite”, People’s Post, 23 August), about beingbitten by a bull terrier, and the “arrogant at-titude” of the owner. Something needs to bedone about this – but what?PAM GLOSTERClovelly

Rest in peace, Kevin PriceTHERE are many, many thank-yous that wewould like to express, so this would seem tobe the best possible way to reach out to youall. To all our friends and family, thank youfor the phone calls, messages, flowers, visits,cards, prayers and meals.

To Gemma, you made Kevin’s days happywith your love and care. You brought sun-shine and laughter to all of us.

To Reverend Natalie, my life-long friend…the compassion and love, both at Kevin’s bed-side and the funeral, were a great comfort.

Thank you to the folk at King of KingsChurch for allowing us to use your church fa-cilities, and all those helping on the day.

Thanks to Linda and Winnie for the excel-lent catering, and all Lucy’s friends who as-sisted them.

To Pam Herr, for the lovely letter she wrotein the Echo dated Thursday 18 August, you

truly honoured our son. Thank you.To all at Metro rescue Pinelands, Tygerburg

Hospital, we were so amazed at the high es-teem in which you held Kevin.

False Bay Volunteer Emergency MedicalServices, we are grateful for your support andlove; you were Kevin’s comrades and support.

The time and effort you all put into organis-ing his funeral were a tribute from your heart.

To all the many other well-wishers, council-lors and caring people from Fish Hoek andelsewhere: our gratitude and thanks are hardto express easily. May God Bless you all.

Finally, to all those out there who are in thefront line, placing themselves in physical dan-ger and mental trauma daily…we are foreverin your debt, and we salute you for your dedi-cation and bravery.BARRY, PAT AND LUCY PRICEFish Hoek

Masi is overpopulatedTHE fires in Masi have got nothing to dowith access roads, but uncontrolled occupy-ing of land spaces.

Therefore, I want to ask where our author-ities are in controlling the occupying of landand overpopulating the area in this heavilyburdened valley.

The more space allocated, the more peoplecome with the hope of getting work – with,understandably, the result of more crime inour areas.

The land owners must be penalised forrenting space to further families on a singleplot, or shacks have to be demolished onoverpopulated plots. We’re sitting on a time

bomb. I am holding our authorities responsi-ble for this issue.

Think for yourself: if I am going to subdi-vide my plot into 10 pieces in the hopes ofmaking money, then the municipality andneighbours will quickly respond to my acts.

Due to the whole overpopulating issue ourwetlands are suffering from pollution anddestruction, and now our own people areblind enough in asking for another accessroad right next to the wetlands.

I am just asking, can we be so shortsight-ed?ANDRIESFrom the People’s Post website

Brainwashing is to blameTHE People Post editorial, “A noble fight”,about the “Slut Walk” was well meant, and thewriter’s heart is clearly in the right place, soit was a pity that the last sentence wentagainst what the editorial was trying toachieve.

The last sentence read, “It is only oncewomen realise and value their worth, thatthey stop becoming victims of stereotypingand abuse.”

It is true that the women victims do not ap-preciate their value.

However, this is not natural, but rather theresult of the brainwashing of an abuser.

The whole point of the Slut Walk was thatwomen should not have to prove their worthto have men appreciate their worth and notabuse them.KENNY PHILLIPSKommetjie

Jesse scores another sixJesse scores another sixTASMIN CUPIDO

BEING able to attend one of theprovince’s top cricketing schoolshas just become a reality forPinelands resident Jesse Chris-tians.

This priviledge was bestowed onthe avid all-rounder when he wasawarded a sporting and academicbursary to attend Wynberg Boys’High School by the Jacques KallisScholarship Foundation.

The 12-year-old, who captained aWestern Province XI invitationalteamin2009, startedplaying cricketat the age of six. Both he and 14-year-old brother Matthew – who isequally talented with the bat andball – were introduced to the gameby a friend of their father, ColinChristians. “At the time the boyswere playing mini-league baseball,but they immediately developed alove for cricket,” Colin says.

“Jesse has always been playingout of his age group, even playingfor the under-10 team at the age ofsix. He has never been afraid, andalways holds his own when facingthe older boys.”

The leg-spinner, who is also akeen golfer, has won numerousawards representing both Pine-lands Primary School and Western

Province Cricket Club (WPCC). Healso spent most of the winter in theindoor nets, as part of the WP un-der-13 winter group; the two teamsto represent the province in Decem-ber are set to be announced in Sep-tember.

Jesse was also selected for a WP/Boland team that toured Dubai lastyear, as well as a Western Cape un-der-15 team that toured Malaysiathis year.

Colin credits the assistance ofWPCC juniors’ coach, Charles Fou-

rie, and the D&P Academy facilityfor his both his sons’ achievementsover the past couple of years – Mat-thew is also a member of the WP un-er-15 winter squad, and captainedthe WP under-13A team in 2009. “Alot of hard work goes into trainingthe boys, and the coaching ofCharles reallyhas shaped them,”hesays.

Which is exactlywhatwill behap-pening in Jesse’s situation. TheJacques Kallis Scholarship Foun-dation was established last yearwith the aim of combining the aca-demic and life skills programmes ofexisting school structures withfunding and mentoring support fro

Despite being very close, the twobrothers will now be in rival teams,as Matthew attends RondeboschBoys’ High School. “They will stillremain close – they have alreadytaught each other so much,” Colinsays.

“And this really offers Jesse theopportunity to build his own char-acter and personality – an not beknown as Matthew’s brother.”

Jesse is most happy with bat andball in hand, Colin says.

“For now, education comes first,but as long as he can be on a field,he is happy. Whether batting orbowling, he always enjoys thegame.”
