TAURIQ HASSEN

FOLLOWING the death of a SaltRiver man, Woodstock residentsare calling for more pedestriancrossings to be introduced in Vic-toria Road.Sharief Murray was the latest

victim after being rammed by a de-livery truck on Monday 4 Marchwhile crossing the road with hiselderly father.He sustained injuries to his legs

and back and later died on thescene.Spokesperson for the Woodstock

police, Sergeant Hilton Malila,says that the latest incident wasthe first pedestrian that had beenknocked down this year and died.However, he confirms that sev-

eral other pedestrians have beenknocked down in the past, butmany have failed to open up casesat the station.“People do not open cases when

the injuries are not serious and weonly have cases on our systemwhere somebody has either died orsustained serious injuries,” hesays.Malila could not confirm the ac-

tual number of incidents that haveunfolded in the Victoria Road.

Woodstock Community Out-reach Forum (WCOF) Chairper-son, Shamiel Abbass, explains thatthe tragedy was a accurate reflec-tion of the traffic dangers in Victo-ria Road. “This accident provesthat we need more pedestriancrossings in these areas, it’s notjust this death, but there have beena few accidents in this road al-ready,” he says.“It’s time that we relook this

road and call for more pedestriancrossings.”He also expressed fears about the

speed at which cars are travellingand blamed minibus taxis for cre-ating traffic headaches.TheWCOFnowplans to raise the

issue with the City’s traffic andplanning departments after receiv-

ing complaints from residents.Main Road, comprising Sir Low-

ry and Victoria roads, measuresjust short of two kilometres be-tween Searle Street and DurhamAvenue. There are approximatelysix full traffic signals and three sig-nalised pedestrian crossings. Theaverage spacing between signal-ised crossing opportunities areabout 250 metres.Woodstock resident, Rasheedah

Fredericks, spotted the body ofMurray inVictoriaRoad lastweek.It reminded her of the same ordealshe faced three years ago.Fredericks’ 11-year-old son, Il-

yaaz, was also knocked down inVictoria Road after crossing theroad during peak morning traffic.Fortunately, her son only sus-

tained a broken ankle and a fewscrapes, but the lack of pedestriancrossings still bothers the mother

of four.“This is a very dangerous road

because it’s wide and you haveplenty of buses and taxis travellingon the road. You find many peoplejust running across the road anddodging the cars – it’s definitelynot safe,” she says.Fredericks suggests that council

relook at the traffic plan for Victo-ria Road and consider introducingmore pedestrian crossings.“I have other children as well,

some still at school. But how am Isupposed to relax knowing theyare crossing this dangerous roadwhen they are on theirwayhome?”Fredericks asks.Another resident, Benny Wil-

liamson, regards Victoria Road asan “accident waiting to happen”.He explains that pedestrians can

regularly be seen standing on thewhite line splitting the road, dodg-

ing cars and rushing over to thesidewalk to avoid speeding vehi-cles. “This road is very dangerousand it has been like this for yearsnow. I can’t understand why thereare so few pedestrian crossings inthis road, especially knowing thatthe area is heavily used by peopletravelling on foot,” Williamsonsays.He adds that having one pedes-

trian crossing in Victoria Road is“not enough” and hopes that thelatest incident would encouragecouncil to “wake up and smell thecoffee”.Malila explains that emergency

services made efforts to stabiliseMurray that Monday, but were un-successful.He says the 49-year-old truck

driver was not arrested at thescene, butWoodstock police are in-vestigating a case of culpable hom-

icide. “Police are currently still in-vestigating the circumstancesaround this incident,” he says.Anyone with information on the

incident or who witnessed the ac-cident is urged to contact the in-vestigating officer, Warrant Offic-er David Farmer, on 0 (021) 4423141.Mayoral Committee member for

Transport, Roads and Stormwater,Brett Herron, feels that absence offormal pedestrian crossings “doesnot make the crossing of a roadfundamentally unsafe”.He explains that the need for a

formal pedestrian crossing is de-termined by the number and phys-ical abilities of people who wish tocross a road at a specific point.“Formal pedestrian crossings

cannot be provided at every pointat which people wish to cross –much the same as a traffic signalcannot be provided at every inter-section on a road,” Herron says.However, within “available re-

sources”, he adds that the Citywillrespond to identified needs for pe-destrian crossings.“The City welcomes suggestions

and requests for pedestrian safetymeasures from all residents, ascommunity submissions are animportant step in identifying prob-lems,” Herron says.Any member of the public want-

ing to request traffic calmingmeas-ures for the area should submitthis request to their local subcoun-cil manager. The request will bescreened by the ward councillor,which will result in public consul-tation. Requests will then bepassed on to the Transport Depart-ment, where a technical assess-ment report to the subcouncil willbe submitted.To find out more on how to sub-

mit a request, follow the guidelinesprovided by the City at http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/Medi-aReleases/Pages/Cityadvisesresi-dentsofprocessforapprovingtraff-iccalmingmeasures.aspx.

COME APRIL, businesses trading in liquorwill have to abide by trading hours and daysas set out by the City of Cape Town.The new Liquor Trading Days and Hours

bylaw will come into effect on Monday 1April, following the year-long implementa-tion of the Western Cape Liquor Act.Traders will need to abide by the bylaw,

regardless of the type of trading licence theyhold.The decision was reached after an “exten-

sive” engagement process with the relevantstakeholders across the Peninsula. “The by-law seeks to strike a balance between the so-cial affects of alcohol abuse, potential dis-ruption and the reasonable sale of alcoholfor the hospitality sector,” says GarrethBloor, the Mayoral Committee member forEconomic, Environmental and Spatial Plan-ning.The trading hours for on-licence premises

is until 02:00. Businesses – housed in busi-ness-zoned and industrial areas – can applyfor an extension until 04:00. No businesswillautomatically receive the exemption andwill need to apply for the extension.On-consumption premises, such as guest-

houses, places of entertainment and sportsclubs, in residential areas may trade in liq-uor from11:00until 23:00,while casionos andhotels in residential areas can trade from11:00 until 02:00.The bylaw stipulates that on-consumption

businesses operating in liquor sales in a lo-cal or neighbourhood business area will op-erate from 11:00 until 23:00, while a sport orcommunity club in the same area will oper-ate from 11:00 until 00:00.On-consumption businesses selling liquor

in general business, industrial and agricul-tural areas will operate from 11:00 until

02:00, while those operating in alcohol salesin rural or other ad-hoc locations will oper-ate from 11:00 until 00:00.The trading hours of special events such

as fetes and carnivals will be determined bythe temporary licence conditions.Off-consumption businesses such as liq-

uor stores and shebeens, where liquor is notconsumed on the premises, may trade from09:00 until 18:00 from Monday to Saturday.These businesses do not qualify to apply forthe extension of trading hours.The City encourages traders who wish to

apply for the extension to submit applica-tions, whichwill be free, as soon as possible.V Applications are available from any City Environmen­tal Health office or from www.capetown.gov.za.

THE UNUSED fields at the foot of WalmerEstate have spurred on residents to come upwith creative ways to occupy the space.A proposal has now been submitted with

council to transform the unused fields offChester Road and Searle Street.According to the proposal, the fields are

under utilised and presents a multitude ofsafety issues for the community. The fieldsare said to be used for drug abuse, illegaldumping, vagrancy problems and acts as anescape route for criminals.Shamiel Soeker – who also transformed

the former neglected neighbouring plot intoa verdant community garden and is a mem-ber of theWalmer Estate Residents Commu-nityForum (WERCF) – collaboratedwith fel-low resident Ruan Benande on ideas to im-prove the plot.“It’s a huge spot that is going to waste and

there are so many things that could beachieved at these fields instead of allowingit to just fall into disrepair,” Soeker says.The pair identified that the area lacked

sports and recreational facilities, proper toi-lets, a lack of public art – other than the usu-al graffiti – andno communal outdoor activi-ties such as tai chi or yoga.“Building these facilities will need very

little maintenance, yet it will bring manybenefits to the community,” Soeker says.Their proposal calls for the implementa-

tion of cycling, rollerblading and skate-boarding, a space for events, a free sportsand recreational facility for the youth, aswell as opening up the toilets at the site.Soeker explains that the space could also

be used for skating and BMX events.He confirms that the process will be run

through the WERCF organisation in future.Chairperson for WERCF, Moosa Sydow,

adds that further proposals were submittedto council in September last year, calling for

light sporting codes such as netball and bas-ketball to occupy the fields. “The proposalby Shamiel stems from the proposals we, asWERCF, submitted last year and we wel-come the opinions from the community, butproper protocol needs to be followed whentackling this issue,” Sydow says.“We do not want a case where people from

outside the community come in to do as theyplease. We are definitely excited about up-grading the land, but it does not mean weagree to every proposal that is submitted,”Sydow says.Ward councillor Brett Herron is excited

about residents’ creative spurt.“I think this proposal is a fantastic idea

and I completely endorse these ideas, but en-

courage more residents to follow,” he says.However, Herron confirms that other pro-

posals have already been tabled for the samespace and that the new proposal will haveto join the others to be consideredby theCityof Cape Town.He did not write off the possibility of the

proposal by theWalmer Estate resident pan-ning out in future, but applauded the resi-dents’ efforts in wanting to tackle pertinentissues within their communities.“We are currently looking at some other

proposals for the area, but this proposal hasbeen passed on and if it is feasible, I will bemore than willing to provide some fundingfrom my ward allocation budget towardsthis project,” Herron says.

A BILL aimed at creating a rela-tionship between police, provin-cial oversight responsibilitiesand communities across theprovince has been passed by theWestern Cape Provincial Gov-ernment’s Standing Committeefor Community Safety.This comes after a month of

public participation and inputfrom experts.The Western Cape Communi-

ty Safety Bill makes provisionfor an ombudsman, who willhear complaints about policeservice delivery andwhowill re-port to the provincial parlia-ment. The roles and functions ofcommunity police forums(CPFs) and neighbourhoodwatches is also stipulated in thebill. It also makes provision forthe training and resourcing ofthese entities.“To date there is no legislation

to give this vital aspect in thefight against crime any direc-tion”, said Standing Committeefor Community Safety chairper-son, Mark Wiley.“At a time when public opin-

ion regarding policing is at anall-time low, it is vital that everyeffort is made to re-establish po-licing standards and confidencein our law enforcers.“This can only be achieved by

the public being part of the solu-tion.”The bill will now be sent to

provincial parliament fordebateand final approval.

TO THE STREETS: Fifty volunteers from Rape Crisis took to the streets on Friday – InternationalWomen’s Day – to spread awareness of the harsh reality of rape. The campaign targeted busi-ness hubs in Athlone, Observatory and Khayelitsha, which the organisation most actively servic-es. Rape Crisis is one of the country’s oldest non-profit organisations. It was established in1976 and supports 5 000 rape survivors in this province annually. Here Thobeka Gedeni handsover a pamphlet to a pedestrian while explaining the services the volunteers provide.

CCHILDREN with infec-tious and chronic ill-nesses will benefit

from the multi-million up-graded Ward B2 at RedCross War Memorial Chil-dren’s Hospital.Ward B2, which has ca-

pacity to admit 29 children,was officially opened byprovincial minister ofhealth, Theuns Botha, onThursday.The R10.5m upgrade is

the first major upgrade forthe ward since being builtin 1956. It has only receivedminor upgrades until now.This ward admits chil-

dren with a wide range ofmedical conditions includ-ing, infectious and chronicillnesses like TB and HIV and treats about1 100 patients a year.The number of ward admissions and turn-

over of patients has, however, significantlyincreased compared to 1956.Overcrowding and hospital-acquired in-

fections became a serious concern as theward’s infrastructure struggled to keep upwith the increasing number of admissions.Despite these challenges, the ward and its

dedicated staff continued to provide the bestpossible care to patients and their families.Furthermore, B2 remains an important

area for clinical research and training ofmedical professionals.The ward’s operational manager, Lindiwe

Teto, says she is looking forward to theward’s six new isolation cubicles, whichhave increased from two.“It was very challenging, before the ward

was upgraded, to find adequate isolation forinfectious patients,” says Teto.“For example a seriously ill TB patient

would sometimes be admitted to an isolationcubicle formore than amonth andwewouldbe unable to admit other children into isola-tion because there was not enough space.”The ward now provides relaxation and

rest space for staff, patients and familiesthat’s child friendly and attractive. Passages

are now more spacious, ablution facilitiesare also upgraded and there are dedicated of-fice spaces and a kitchen facility.Dr Marco Zampoli, a consultant at the

ward, says the upgrade is a welcome reliefto staff and patients. “Children and theirparents deserve a modern, spacious andclean environment to recuperate. Likewise,morale amongst staff will be lifted, whichwill no doubt result in improved patientcare,” he says.Hospital CEO Dr Lungi Linda says the fa-

cility is always striving to prevent cross-in-fections among patients and adds the up-grade of Ward B2 will go a long way to im-proving the health of patients.The upgrade of the ward was made possi-

ble by the 18-year-old public-private partner-ship between provincial government andthe Children’s Hospital Trust.Louise Driver, the CEO of the Trust, says

they are extremely grateful to all the donors.“Though this is the lastward to beupgraded,our work in improving the services is farfrom over,” she says.“This ward will continue to provide the

best medical care to treat the sickest andyoungest patients in the hospital andwewillcontinue to raise funds for the hospital’s pri-ority needs.”

WOODSTOCK’S transforma-tion from the bedraggled ug-ly duckling to a gleamingjewel on the cityscape contin-ues.Adding to the already vi-

brant economic and socialboom inAlbert Road, a streetblock will be transformed in-to a retail and residentialspace. This comes after theCity of Cape Town’s MayoralCommittee approved the de-velopment proposal.The property stretches

from Cornwall Street to Vic-toria Road, and from BaronStreet to Gympie Street. Thearea is approximately 6 822hectares in size.The proposed plans is to go

before a full council meeting for approval.This follows the City’s Spatial Planning,

Environment and Land Use ManagementCommittee’s recommendation on Wednes-day 13 February that theMayor submit thisdevelopment request to council for consid-eration.The application proposes to develop the

property into nine storeys consisting of aretail component and a block of flats. Theflats will consist of 363 units, together with493 parking bays which will also be used bythe retail component on the property.It is predicted that the development will

contribute hugely to the upliftment and vi-tality of the immediate area, as well as cre-ate amore sustainable and “equitable city”.This development requires council’s con-

sent as well as departures from the CapeTown Zoning SchemeRegulations, as everypiece of land has different zoning require-

ments.Council will be asked to give its approval

for a number of permanent departures ofthe Land Use Planning Ordinance, in orderfor the different properties and erven onthis block of land to be merged.The area is historically characterised by

To meet ornot to meetSOCIAL NETWORKS and the internet

have become a place where people arere-united with old friends or make new

ones.With the recent murder of a 65-year-old

Sea Point man, reportedly after he had metwith someone he had met online, People’sPost interns Luzuko Zini and Tarren-LeeHabelgaarn took to the streets to poll read-ers if they ever meet with people they chatwith, and what precautionary measuresthey take before meeting the people.

MICHAELMICHAEL JURDJURDsays he isagainst socialnetworking. Hefeels it is a hubfor problemsand not belong-ing to any keepshim safe. “Be-longing to a so-cial network islike opening acan of worms.One thing leadsto another andbefore youknow it, you arein trouble. If Ineed to get holdof someone Icall or SMS.”

NAZEEMNAZEEM AJAJAMAM says: “Youths are easily fooled bysomeone pretending to be what they are not. Justbecause you don’t give personal informationdoesn’t mean you’re safe.”

MICHELLEMICHELLE VEN-VEN-TERTER says whilesocial network-ing can be posi-tive, it has neg-ative aspects aswell. She feelsit is great to useto get in touchwith people youhave lost con-tact with orwho live faraway, but she iscautious of thedangers. “It al-so has its downside, because ofstalkers andpeople lookingto cause harm.”

VENUSVENUS LEESLEES recalls a bad experience. “I have metwith a person I chatted to online, but it was ina public place. I only did it once and I will neverdo it again.”

VITVITALISEALISENTNTONGWONGWALAALAsays he oftenmeets peoplehe chats to onsocial net-works, butmakes surethat he gets toknow them be-fore the time.“Sometimes Iinvite peopleto my house,but I first get toknow thembetter before Iinvite them orgive them mypersonal infor-mation.”

JOJOSH TSH TSHIN-SHIN-GOMBEGOMBE sayshe only chatsto and sharesinformationwith peoplehe knows. “Iwould neverinvite orwant tomeet withstrangers.Even theones I inviteor share mypersonal in-formationwith arethose whoare reallyclose to me.”

AAYEYESHA TOSHA TOYERYER says she was taught to neverspeak to strangers, something that she never dis-regards. “I wouldn’t meet anyone I don’t know.I will keep it at just chatting.”

Keeping the little ones safe

PEOPLE'S POST | WOODSTOCK | MAITLANDTuesday, 12 March 20138 LEADER

EDUCATION is key.Annually, 2 000 pupils in the Western Cape fall preg-

nant. Only a thirdwill return to school to finish their edu-cation. This was revealed by the provincial education de-partment.Frightening and utterly dismaying.It’s clear the safe sexmessage is getting lost somewhere

along the line.Apart from unplanned pregnancy, unsafe sex also car-

ries the risk ofHIV/Aids and other communicable diseas-es.Butmarkwell thesewords – it’s futile to cast aspersions

on pupils, as uppity, more well-to-do folk are apt to do.The goal is to keep these children, for that they still are,

in school.There is now a little one to care for and what chances

do young mothers have when their schooling is incom-plete?Slim.The provincial education department has developed a

policy to provide step-by-step guidelines on how princi-pals and governing bodies should support pregnant pu-pils to ensure they stay in school.The CapeWinelands is one of themost heavily affected.They are to be given access to counselling by social

workers and psychologists based at district offices.These pupils may also call the Safe Schools call centre

on 0800 45 46 47.The policy also provides, in detail, guidelines on how

to manage exams for pregnant pupils, especially foryoung mothers in Grade 12.The department’s efforts to help our youth is laudable,

but the girl’s family – if she has any – also needs to stepup.In 2010, 2 108 pupils in theWesternCapehad fallen preg-

nant. In 2011, that figure was 2 097.Teen pregnancy is a fixable problem and has workable

solutions.So, let’s end the sneering – there’s a little one waiting

to be born.

Give credit where it is dueALLOW me to use this opportunity to callupon the Department of Trade and Industryand the relevant parliamentary oversightcommittees to urgently look into the black-listing of consumers who default on theircredit agreements.Daily I hear people complaining about

their inability to find jobs due to their nega-tive listingsat a credit bureau.Manyof thesepeople complain that their debts have beenfully paid up and yet it reflects on theirnames at credit listing agencies. This is un-fair and, I suspect, unconstitutional to pun-ish the people twice for the same mistakes.In a country faced with massive unem-

ployment it is stupid to allow adverse infor-mation to be posted against those who havesettled their debts in full. Why not clear thenames of those who have paid up their debtsimmediately and allow them to access thecredit and job markets?We grant all forms of amnesties to those

who commit serious criminal offences.How-ever, those who are unable to honour theircredit arrangements are faced with seriousconsequences due to their economic circum-stances.They don’t want hand-outs, they want a

second chance. Many of them have paid

their debts.Theyneed tobeallowed toaccesscredit at retailers and be allowed to contrib-ute towards the economy of this country.Those blacklisted for failing to pay their

debts on time have to wait two years andlonger to access the credit and job markets.Grant some form of relief to our indebted

citizens who are imprisoned by their eco-nomic circumstances. Poverty is their onlycrime.(The government) wrote the National

Credit Act (NCA) and you have the powersto amend it.We cannot allow our parliamentto give greater consideration to the rights ofbig business and some credit agencies andignore the rights of the majority of our peo-ple.I urge eachmember of the relevant portfo-

lio committee in parliament to use this letterand bring some relief to our struggling andpoor citizens. More than two million SouthAfricans would immediately have access tocredit and thousands of thesewould have ac-cess to jobs once parliament intervenes andprovide some form of amnesty to overly-in-debted South Africans. I am convinced theirappreciation would be shown at the votingbooths next year!Rozario Brown

Pledge to love and respect womenAN ANTI-RAPE and murder pledge bySouthAfrican pupils is not the only solutionto solve the situation of gender-based vio-lence in South Africa – if it is left solely tobe championed by government or initiativessuch as LeadSA.I believe faith-based organisations must

preach the anti-crime message to its follow-ers.Doctrinal faiths all expound and implore:

“Thou shall notmurder, steal, falsely accuseor desire someone else’s possessions”.We, the church, must be the moral con-

science of society, lead by example and liveout our faiths.Every community is plagued by crime and

icons such as Nelson Mandela, MahatmaGhandi, Martin Luther King Junior andMother Teresa used peace as the commonfactor to bring about the necessary change.Effective and harmonious communica-

tion by all roleplayers is a vital componentof peaceful change, and our mindsets mustchange in combating the pandemic of crimein our beloved country.During our Sunday service, all the men

and boys in our congregation took a corpo-rate pledge, signed it and had the womenwitness this public declaration to stop rape,murder and all forms of abuse against wom-en and girls.The pledge stipulated that women and

girls were to be loved, respected and defend-ed with dignity, honour and grace.We pray fervently that this humble act

will sow the seeds towards the redemptionof the evil thatmen inourvarious communi-ties commit.Our united prayer is: “God, bless Africa,

guard her children, guide her leaders, andgrant her peace”.Mark Kleinschmidt

Abortion is apersonal choiceI STRONGLY believe religion and politicsshould never mix.Unbelievably, not every individual should

have their personal beliefs and decisions im-pacted by your ingrained beliefs, which isbased on a book written by a person, not onsubstantial fact.Abortion, whether legal or not, will al-

ways happen – whether it is performed in asafe, sterile environmentbyaqualifiedprac-titioner or done haphazardly with an infect-ed coat hanger, because there will always bea legitimate reason for them.You may not understand the reasons, but

you don’t have to.It’s not your business.I’m sure you’ll find that most women who

decide to have an abortion have discussedit with their significant others and, if theyhaven’t, it would be because themen respon-sible would make unfit fathers or (are) un-supportive.Either way, it is up to the individual wom-

an to decide how honest she wants to be.On the subject of family andmarriage, it’s

absolutely wonderful that traditional mar-riage and family units work for you.However, you are not entitled to force that

definition of family on the rest of the popula-tion.Neither am I.People can live with whomever they like,

however they like.Again, it is up to the people involved, not

you or your god(s).Finally, to refer to atheists and other non-

fundamentalists as “morally unclean”, sim-ply because we find no valid reason to shareyour beliefs, is incredibly narrow-mindedand downright rude.For the record, I was raised in a non-reli-

gious home, where logic and science waspreferred.I have never been a promiscuous teenager

and I am not an evil or mean person.I also don’t think I would get an abor-

tion should I ever end up unexpectedly preg-nant.However, I will not ever take away some-

one else’s choice to get one.Personal freedom and choice is a constitu-

tional right.Anonymous

IN ORDER to meet the demand for bloodin the country, the South African NationalBlood Service must collect 3 000 units ofblood a day.

An average of 700 units of blood is neededevery 24 hours to meet the demand forblood in this province alone.

However, while one unit of blood cansave up to three lives, less than 1% of eligi-ble South Africans are regular blood do-nors.

People are being encouraged to donateblood and help save a life.

The Western Province Blood Transfu-sion Service’s Marlize Mouton says thateven in 2013, with all the technology availa-ble to us, blood cannot be artificially manu-factured.

“Therefore we rely on the support of ourvoluntary blood donors,” she explains.

Although 75% of the Western Cape popu-lation will need a blood transfusion duringtheir lifetime, a mere 1.5% donate blood,Mouton says.

The blood donor agency has basic donorcriteria. You must be between 16 and 65years old, weigh more than 50kgs, be ingood health, live a safe sexual lifestyle andbe committed to helping save lives.

Donating blood has its benefits, Moutonsays. “Every time you donate blood, you re-ceive a ‘mini-medical’. Your iron, pulse,blood pressure and general health ischecked before you donate blood.”

However, she says more importantly isthe benefit of knowing you have had an im-pact on saving someone’s life.

Donating blood is a simple.“It is of utmost importance that you eat

a substantial meal three to four hours be-fore donating blood. Drink lots of water orjuice on the day of donation and take iteasy with exercise for that day,” Moutonadvises.

She says blood donated is rarely used inits donated state. “It is only used in its orig-inal state in cases of replacing massiveblood loss in trauma emergencies. Mostlyblood is divided into blood products, in-cluding red cells, plasma and platelets.”

Red cells are used in the treatment ofanaemia and bleeding after trauma sur-gery.

Plasma is used to treat burn wounds, bleed-ing disorders, to restore blood volume and toprovide antibodies.

Platelets are used to treat leukaemia, inbone marrow transplants and low plateletcount.

To become a donor, visit www.wp-blood.org.za, or a mobile clinic.

The service has mobile units visiting vari-ous venues throughout the province each dayof the week. “Our clinic teams visit variouslibraries, community centres, churches, edu-cational institutions, businesses, factoriesand shopping malls,” Mouton says.

The clinic schedule can be viewed on

www.wpblood.org.za.The service also has two fixed sites.People may visit 22 Long Street from Mon-

day to Friday between 8:30 and 15:45. Alter-natively, visit the N1 City Mall in Goodwoodto donate.

The donor clinic at the mall is open allweek.

They operate from 10:00 until 17:45 duringthe week, from 9:00 until 14:45 on a Saturdayand from 9:00 until 11:45 on Sundays andpublic holidays.

For further details call 0 (021) 507 6300,SMS “Blood” to 33507 or email 2 in-fo@wpbts.org.za.

Villager plots anew path to gloryLIAM MOSES

VILLAGER RFC have embarked on a mis-sion to restore its reputation as one of thecountry’s best rugby clubs.TheClaremont club, SouthAfrica’s second

oldest after Hamiltons RFC, fell from gracelast season when they were relegated fromthe top tier of Western Province club rugby.Villager finished stone last in Super

League A, after 16 losses, a draw and a soli-tary win, and the poor performance lead tosome introspection from the club’s leader-ship.Bruce Fraser, rugby chairperson at teh

club, says he identified several problems af-ter taking up his position near the end of theseason in August.Themost glaring problem, he says,was the

amount of money being spent on salaries ofplayers and coaches.“The current committee doesn’t want to

fall into the same trap as everyone else andhave to try and findR1.5m to pay players eve-ry year,” he says.“It’s not sustainable because there is no

money out there. Where do you find spon-sors? No-one is investing, sowe retracted themoney and none of our players and coacheswill be paid. There are no contracts, no re-tainers or match fees.”Paying top players has become standard

practice in club rugby and first team mem-bers at top clubs can earn asmuch as R14 000per month.Fraser says players were previously at-

tracted to the club solely for financial rea-sons, not a desire to play for Villager.“Fromour first team set up last year, when

were relegated to Super League B, we had a

handful of playerswho remained for this sea-son,” he says.“The rest of them have all gone. Some of

those players have played here for three tofive seasons. That formewas the biggest eye-opener. We haven’t been building club mem-bers,wehave beenbuying clubmembers. It’sabout playing for the badge and the guystanding next to you. It’s about putting thepride back into the club and the team andthat can win you games and keep you com-petitive in the league.”Since taking over, Fraser hasmade several

other changes at the club. These includescrapping the first, second and third teamsin order to form a senior squad from whichthe match day teams will be selected and fo-cusing the club’s coaches on improving theskills of individual players.“I think that has given many players, who

have been here for the last two years, re-newed energy to be involved because theynow have an equal opportunity to play in thefirst team. It’s up to them; the way the clubcan help them is by improving their skillsthem,” he says.The club has also showed faith in Rito

Hlungwane and kept the former WesternProvince lock on as head coach. Fraser saysHlungwane might not have been allowed an-other term in past years.Villager have set a top five finish and

steady improvement as their only perform-ance goals this season and aim to make itback to Super League A in five years time.The “Dirty Whites” will have an opportu-

nity to test the viability of their new systemswhen they faceHamiltons in the 137th instal-ment of South Africa’s oldest club rugby der-by on Saturday 23 March.

WP Softball to reviewtournament participationTHE Western Province Softball Federa-tion (WPSF) general councilwillmeet to-day to review its decision to not partici-pate in the annual Softball South Africa(SSA) National Provincial Champion-ship (NPC).The WPSF general council, which is

made up of the chairpersons of affiliatedclubs, elected not to take part in the tour-nament at a meeting in February (“WPSoftball still out of tourney, says letter”,People’s Post, 5 March).However, the Federation could now

overturn this decision after complaintsfrom disappointed players at a feedbackmeeting on Tuesday 5 February.According to Noore Nacerodien,

former chairperson and CEO of WPSFand former first vice-president of SSA,the initial decision in February was tak-en without the correct information be-ing given to the clubs.“Their decision was based on what

they (the chairpersons) were told. Fromthe front – the way I heard it – the NPCis not approved and they have a problemwith the interim committee,” he says.“However, there are no problems. The

NPC is valid and approved by the SouthAfrican Sport Council and OlympicCommittee (Sascoc) and the interimcommittee has been supported by Sas-coc.Wehaveno right to say that theplay-ers can’t play.”Nacerodien, who is also an interna-

tional referee, was present at the meet-ing along with about 40 officials andplayers.Nazeem Dulvie, chairperson of

WestridgeYankeesBaseball andSoftballClub, was also present at both meetings.He echoed Nacerodien’s claims, say-

ing clubs were told by the WPSF execu-tive board that the NPC was “not sanc-tioned”.“At the chairpersons meeting in Feb-

ruary some information was mis-com-municated. The understanding was thatthe NPC wasn’t sanctioned and that was

when thedecisionwasmade,” saysDulv-ie.“But when we got to the meeting on

Tuesday 5 March we were told that it isa sanctioned tournament. I don’t knowif it was mis-communicated or if the in-formation wasn’t available to them.”In the People’s Post article published

on the sameday as the feedbackmeeting,SSA’s interim chairman Basil Petersconfirmed the sport was carrying on asnormal despite the fact SSA were placedunder administration by Sascoc.“Sascoc has given us a directive that

the sport must carry on as it is. There’snobody besides the interim committeerunning the sport,” he said.Both Nacerodien and Dulvie say play-

ers areupset atmissingout on represent-ingWP, missing out on potential nation-al selection – which takes place at theNPC – and at not being consulted on thedecision.The NPC will be hosted in Kempton

Park from Thursday 21 to Sunday 24March. Should the decision to not partic-ipate be overturned, the WP will haveless than nine days to select and preparea team.“To get ourselves ready to go to Kemp-

ton Park is virtually impossible. Thereis going to a very rich, chequebookteam,” Nacerodien says.“It’s going go to be those who can gath-

er that sort of money in the space of aweek.”He adds the tournament could cost the

players around R6 000 per person.Dulvie shares the same concerns but

says he will still be voting to attend thetournament, as this is what Yankeesplayers have decided. He says 66% of theclubs will need to overturn their Tues-day 5 February decisions for WP to par-ticipate in the NPC.People’s Post attempted to contact Den-

ise Paulsen, chairperson of WPSF, forcomment but could not reach her by thetime of going to print.

SPORTSKW to playfor survivalLIAM MOSES

SK WALMERS will be playing for Com-munity Cup survival when they hostGAPDespatch at theGreenPoint Track

on Saturday.The clubs are level on points, in third and

secondplaceon the table respectively,mean-ing that Saturday’s victorwill qualify for thesecond round of the competition. The loseris knocked out.SKW would normally be considered fa-

vourites for the encounter, but the pressureof the situation could make Despatch muchtougher opponents.Sedick Sieed, Walmers forward coach, be-

lieves his team will have to front up physi-cally if they are to win the game.“They have huge forwards, who will come

at us, so we must prepare thoroughly. Wemust work on our rucks, but I think we aregoing to edge them at the line-outs,” he says.“The scrums and the rucks will be impor-

tant. We have to work very, very hard.”Sieed adds the game will be like “test

match” and says his side must be tacticallydisciplined to win.“I think our guys are mentally prepared.

They are very relaxed and are up for (thechallenge).“The crowd will be with us and in our fa-

vour, and we must use it wisely. We mustplay smart rugby. If we win 3-0 its fine; wejust have to win.”SKW started the competition in fine form,

brushing aside United Bulk VillagersWorcester 49-26, at home, in their openinggamebefore coming frombehind to edgeGri-quas champions Aveng Moolmans Sishen39-32 in Kathu.

However, the club’s march towards quali-fication was halted in Durban on Saturdaywhen they lost 30-18 to Jonsson College Rov-ers, the Moor Cup and National Club Cham-pionship holders.Walmers were out-scored by four tries to

two, with Sharks winger Wandile Mjekevucrossing twice for the home side, formerBoland forward Nikolai Blignaut scoringone try and outside centre and former WPyouth player Sergio Torrens also grabbinga try.Walmers responded with touchdowns

from Adnaan Osman and Mogamat John-son.Sieed believes his side could have won if

not for a few key injuries.“I think we did very well under the cir-

cumstances – the rain, wind and our inju-ries. Even our stamina lasted and we scoredin the last fewminutes of the game,” he says.“It was very physical and very close until

we were crippled by a few injuries. Travel-ling there was a bit tough and they are thechampion team.“We knew that it would be a physical

game.”Despatch suffereda similar fatewhen they

faced Rovers in their opening game in Dur-ban, losing 38-17 after conceding four triesand scoring two.The Eastern Cape side went on to make

light work of United Bulk Villagers Worces-ter, scoring ten tries to their opponents twoand winning the game 67-23.Despatch also foundSishen an easier pros-

pect as SKW, beating them by scoring fourtries to win 30-20.V The match will take place at the Track at 15:00 onSaturday 16 March.
