TAURIQ HASSEN

THIEVINGvandals are contin-uing to harass the dead atMaitland Cemetery.

Security measures are beingquestioned at the burial groundsas theft continues to haunt theCity-owned land.The 10 gates and 3,5km wall

sums up one of the largest ceme-teries in theWestern Cape, and issaid to be around 113ha in size.Council introduced 24-hour se-

curity and access control, mak-ing use of dogs as well as quadbikes to ensure the cemetery iswell protected.Despite this, the City believes

problems with people enteringthe cemetery after or duringworking hours for illegal activi-ties still exist.Freddy Peters, a Factreton res-

ident, visited his mother’s gravelast week and initially couldn’tspot her final resting place.Part of her tombstone had been

stolen.The tombstone’s metal feature

– designed to keep flowers and al-so hold water – was removed,leaving the marker destroyed.“These days, to buy a new

tombstone costs a fortune. WhenI sawwhat had happened, I couldnot understand how it could hap-pen because there are securitypersonnel around the cemetery,”he says.However, Peters quickly re-

placed the tombstone and hasvowed to check up on the graveevery week, but still questions

the effectiveness of the ceme-tery’s security measures.“The criminals will obviously

not steal items and walk throughthe front gate.

“They are escaping throughthese gaping holes in the fence,which makes crime at the ceme-tery so much more convenientand easy,” the frustrated Peters

explains to People’s Post.Kensington Police recently ar-

rested a suspect inNymanStreet,in Kensington, who had been at-tempting to sell a gate stolen from

the cemetery at a known scrapyard in the area.Station commander Lieuten-

ant-Colonel Belinda Josephs con-firms that the suspect initially re-sisted arrest andwas alsowantedfor an armed robbery incident.“A community member point-

ed out the suspect to the detec-tives, where he was trying to sellstolen property at a known scrapdealership,” Josephs says.Mayoral Committee Member

for Utility Services, TandekaGqada, is aware of the problemsaround the cemetery and con-firms that security has been re-porting incidents.In order to improve access con-

trol, the City has now taken upthe initiative to keep all gateslocked, which is believed to haveslightly improved matters.She adds that suspects were re-

cently apprehended when break-ing into one of the empty houseslocated on the cemetery grounds.“The security company is on

site 24hours a dayandpatrols thearea regularly.“Maitland Cemetery is really

big, making it almost impossibleto have 100% cover,” Gqada says.She highlights that the City is

aware of the breaches in thefence, believed to be caused bymotor vehicle accidents, which“takes some time to investigateand repair”.She adds: “The reports are giv-

en to the officials at the cemeterywho then react and put the proc-ess of repair into action.“The City’s procurement proc-

esses need to be followed.”

TARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

FOR most mothers, holding their new-born is a precious moment. But first-time mother Autumn Engelke couldhold her baby boy Ethan only 13 daysafter he was born.

Ethan, now two, defies the expectationof his premature birth. He was born inVincent Pallotti Hospital at 25 weeks,weighing 630g – just a little over theweightof a tub of margerine.

The mother describes the pregnancy asan amazing feeling, and cradling the feath-erlight infant was bittersweet. She re-members “the constant smile on your face– the joy of knowing you are finally goingto be a mama – but at the same time,there’s this underlying fear that nevergoes away”.

Ethan is like any other two-year-old,running around and talking. Hemanifeststhe same tenacity as his mother.

After having had miscarriages, Ethanwas conceived after Autumn’s first ses-sion of in-vitro fertilisation.

In the beginning, she says, there was a“constant worry” of a miscarriage “untilthat age-old rule of getting to 13 weeks”.

At 24 weeks, she started to relax. “Thisis theweek the books say your baby is nowviable, meaning the baby can survive if ithas to come early.” The pregnancy wasnormal up to her 25-week gynaecologistappointment.

“Baby was fine, growing well, and I wasa perfectly healthymama.” Four days intothe 25th week things took a turn for the

worse. Engelke’s blood pressure was upand therewas protein in her urine, but herdoctor assured her the test results werewithin normal range. Two days after the

appointment, she had upperback pain which became un-bearable by 04:00 the Sundaymorning.

She rushed to hospital andwas admitted as shewas pastthe 24-week mark. “The gy-nae on call came in and ranthe same tests. They gavemesteroids to prep the baby’slungs in case I had to givebirth. They said it takes 24hours to work.”

The on-call gynaecologist,accompanied by Engelke’sown gynae, told her she hadto deliver immediately. Shesays the doctors told her itwas “to save your life, andwe don’t have 24 hours tospare. You have what’scalled HELLP Syndrome”.

Hemolysis Elevated Liverenzymes and Low Plateletcount (HELLP), a life-threat-

ening complication during pregnancy, isconsidered a variant of pre-eclampsia,says Engelke. Both conditions affect theliver and kidney functions. Ethan was de-livered by emergency Cae-sarean sectiononSunday20December 2009 which start-ed the 82-day journeyEngel-ke says she will never for-get.

“I spent between eight to12 hours a day in the neona-tal intensive care unit(NICU), doing mostly kan-garoo mother care.”

She says studies areshowing holding a prema-ture baby skin-to-skin for aslong as possible makes avaluable difference to theirprogress.

“Ethan did exceptionallywell, but it was a frighten-ing experience. As a speechtherapist myself with a fairamount of experience in theNICU, being on the otherside of the screen is a wholedifferent ball game.”

Theywere lucky asEthan didn’t requiremajor surgery and had no real complica-tions. “He was intubated for just under 48hours, pretty good for a baby delivered atalmost 26 weeks with no steroids to prepthe lungs.”

Once he could breathe on his own, theystarted feeding him a ½ml of breast milkevery three hours through an oro-gastrictube, which runs from the mouth into thestomach.

At 43 days, he used a naso-gastric tube“so we could start to stimulate the mouthand eventually try oral feeding”. On day62 he started with oral feeds. “It also wentup and down for a while, but I’m proud tosay he became a successful breastfeederand breastfed until his second birthday.”

Engelke says besides the fact breastmilk has the best nutritional value and issoft on the baby’s stomach, “for a motherof a premature baby, breast feeding is theonly connection they have to their babyfor a while”.

During this time, it was the little thingswhich brought joy for Engelke. “Everyweek I took a photo and couldn’t wait tosee how much he had grown or (whichtubes) were being removed.”

When he turned two months, they cele-brated being able to bath him for the firsttime. “It was in a two-litre ice- cream tub.He looked so small, but thatwasvery excit-ing.” On day 82 they got the all-clear to gohome. Although he was in quarantine foranother six months Ethan progressedwell. Other than being a little smaller thanhis peers, Ethan has no allergies or healthissues.

ESTABLISHING a neighbourhoodwatch in theupper regions ofWood-stock has reached the final stage.

U-Watch is in the process of wrap-ping up the final registration processwith police after months of prepara-tion and planning (“They’re watchingU in Woodstock”, People’s Post, 17 Ju-ly).

However, the steering committeechairperson, Andrew Geel, continuesto call upon the community to sign upand become a member of U-Watch.

He explains that once the registra-tion process has been completed, ade-quate training, equipping members toperform patrols and react to incidentsin the appropriate manner would behigh up on the agenda.

“We will also host a security work-shop for all members to attend, whichdetails practical methods of prevent-ing crime from occurring,” he says.

Geel adds that U-Watch has been in-vited to information sessions on Use ofTechnology, Radios and Licence PlateRecognition by NeighbourhoodWatches on 24 November.

In this session, hosted by the City ofCape Town’s Safety and Security De-partment, crucial information will beshared with everyone interested insafeguarding their communities.

The session will also help determinewhether the U-Watch’s goal of intro-ducing CCTV cameras in the commu-

nity is a viable one.“The information session that we

have been invited to will benefit U-Watch immensely as it ties into ourplanned method of operations, whichwill be primarily radio-based,” Geelsays.

U-Watch currently has 53 memberson board: 19 fromUniversity Estate, 26from Upper Woodstock and eight fromWalmer Estate.

One member in Upper Woodstock,Jeffrey Davids, is excited at the pros-pect of having a neighbourhood watchestablished in the area.

He says: “We will have a dedicatedbody addressing crime in our commu-nity. If we stand together, we can tack-le crimeand finally turnour communi-ty into a much safer place to live.”

Chairperson for theWoodstockCom-munity Police Forum (CPF), HowardSmith, confirms thatU-Watchhasbeen“recognised and registered” with thebody.

“We cannot determine the futureoutcome of U-Watch and how they willimpact the community. We are satis-fied that they are operating in accord-ance with the constitution set out,”Smith says.

However, he explains that U-Watchstill needs to be vetted, which formspart of the registration process withpolice, but thematter will be discussedat a CPF meeting taking place tonight.

“We will be discussing whether theCPF is happy to allow them to operatewithout this vetting process having

been completed and this is a ques-tion that I will pose to the rest of thecommittee,” Smith explains.

To registerwithU-Watch, visit ht-tp://uwatch.co.za/membership/and fill in the form on the website.

INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

WANT TO change the life of a four-leggedfriend?The Mobile Animal Sterilisation Unit

(Masu) is a conceptwhichhas beendiscussedamong animal welfare organisations formany years.Thanks to donations from individuals and

companies, the Animal Rescue Organisation(ARO) has been able tomake the dreamof theunit a reality.Theunit is the first of its kind, andwill ena-

ble the organisation to travel to far-reachingindigent communities where no veterinaryservices are available. Masu is custom-builtto enable the organisation to carryout sterili-sations and other animal welfare services.The unit has all the required veterinary fa-

cilities including an operating table, hot wa-ter geyser, generators, a refrigerator andmedicine storage facilities.It is an undeniable fact that pet over-popu-

lation is a critical issue throughout SouthAf-rica, particularly acute in impoverishedcommunities. Masu will play an importantrole in the reduction of South Africa’s un-wanted pet population.Since the unit’s launch two months ago,

the organisation has completed five success-ful sterilisation campaigns, including partic-ipation in a government-fundedMass Sterili-sation Pilot Project inKayamandiwhichwillsee over 750 dogs and 350 cats being steri-lised, vaccinated and micro-chipped withinone breeding cycle, which comprises sixmonths.To keep Masu on the road the ARO relies

on the contributions anddonations fromsup-porters, volunteers and friends.These funds contribute towards the cost

of surgeries, medical expenses and the up-keep of Masu.The unit is registered with the SA Veteri-

nary Council and as such must adhere tostringent rules and regulations, deliveringonly the highest standard of care to indigentcommunities.Masu can partner with other welfare or-

ganisations to perform sterilisation cam-paigns within their areas of operation.To find out how to contribute towards this

initiative or for information about howMasucan visit your area, contact the ARO on(021) 396 5511 or email [email protected].

WHAT WAS supposed to be a control-led environment for families to enjoyexciting fireworkdisplayshas been la-belled a risky idea after a trail of inju-ries were sustained at Maidens Cove.

Hundreds of people made their way toAtlantic Seaboard to enjoy the annualburst of colour in the parking lot of thepopular beach, whichwas one of the eightdesignated areas assigned by the City ofCape Town to discharge fireworks.When this reporter visited the site,

rockets and other elaborate fireworkswere being discharged – but instead of theexplosives heading for the air, most wereheading towards spectators.Shelley-Ann Peters fromMaitland says

it was the last time she would take herfamily to view the spectacle, calling it the“worst idea ever”. “I cannot understandhow the City of Cape Town could allowedsomething as dangerous as that to hap-pen. We all know the site was used at ownrisk, butwhere do you draw the line?” sheasks.Peters explains that a rocket, which

wasmeant to launchupwards,went in thedirection of her family who had been pic-nicking on the grassy banks.The rocket landed in themiddle of their

picnic site and exploded.“Wehadno injuries and thankfully eve-

rybody was up on their feet at the time.But imagine if we were all sitting downto watch the fireworks? We would havespent the rest of thenight inhospital,” shesays.But Richard Bosman, the director for

theCity ofCapeTown’s Safety andSecuri-ty division, says the discharging of fire-works at the designated sites are “notplanned City of Cape Town events”.“The City only facilitates this annual

event and it remains the responsibility of

parents and guardians to supervise mi-nors,” he says.Council is aware of the concerns

around the specified sites, Bosman con-tinues, but ensures that measures are putin place in order to minimise damage orinjury to people, property and the envi-ronment. Bosman says: “This is accom-plished by using the existing resourcesand supplementing the services with ad-ditional off duty staff when and where re-quired.”Nihal Badroen (26) from Salt River sus-

tained minor burns to her face when arocket went off course and crashed intothe tree her friends and family werestanding under for protection at MaidensCove. She rushed into the bathrooms, butlater discovered she required treatmentto prevent scarring. Shewent to SomersetHospital for medical attention.“I never thought it would be that dan-

gerous. There were rockets flying every-where and people were throwing fire-works at each other. It was crazy; I willcertainly never do that ever again,”Badroen says.Bosman says the City is aware of five

reported injuries at the designated sites.“The injuries in most of these cases

could have, and should have, been avoid-ed as the majority were children underthe age of 16,” he says.A total of 28 animalswere also admitted

to the Cape of GoodHope SPCA since GuyFawkes Day.InspectoratemanagerMoyoNdukwana

says 53 calls relating tomissing and foundanimals were also received. “We are dis-appointed at the disregard shown by thepublic in various communities acrossCapeTown for theCity’s rules and regula-tions relating to Guy Fawkes,” Ndukwa-na says.They received 40 calls relating to fire-

works throughoutMondaynight, upuntilthe early hours of Tuesday morning.

TAURIQ HASSEN

AFTER waiting for months to see his fa-vourite band live, a Linkin Park fan in-stead spent the duration of the concertout cold after being beaten up while try-ing to thwart petty thieves.

Dustin Jacobs (28) remembers very littleof the incident, except that one minute hewas ready to rock and the next he woke upinStanleyPlace, located close toBeachRoad,next to his parked car.He had turned back after forgetting his

jacket in his car and when he found a groupof six men tampering with his vehicle.“I immediately approached them and they

attackedme. In theprocess, theyknockedmeout and I was out for about three hours. Ican’t remember a thing,” he says.The incident is understood to have taken

place between 20:00 and 21:00.At about 23:00, a security guard sawJacobs

in the road and rushed over to assist, dous-ing him with water and helping him to hisfeet. When he eventually came around, theshow was over.The suspects managed to escape with his

cap and sunglasses, but did not attempt tosteal his wallet and phone which he was car-rying in his pants’ pockets.“I spent the whole of the next day crying,

because I was really looking forward to thisconcert. But things happen and I’m just gladit was nothing serious,” a disappointed

Jacobs says.Buthewasnot theonlyvictim toopportun-

istic thieves that night.Roeshaan Abrahams (27) and Darryl An-

drews (26) were robbed in Somerset Road af-ter the show.Abrahams explains that they were walk-

ing towards Cape Town CBD when two menapproached them from behind.“They forced us into one of the side roads.

Darryl wanted to protect us, but they threat-ened to stabme if hemade amove,” she says.The duo had seen themen before the show,

as they were loitering under the stadium’swalkway, Andrews says.“These men knew what they were doing

and planned to rob somebody that evening.The concert was awesome but then this hadto go and spoil the experience for me,” hesays.None of the victims laid any charges as

they felt they didn’t have enough informa-tion to give the police solid leads.Meanwhile, the City of Cape Town’s inves-

tigation into an accident which led to thedeath of 33-year-old Florentina Heaven-Popais still underway.A total of 20 revellers were injured after

a scaffolding tower supporting an advert, setup in one of the vacant parking bays next tothe stadium, collapsed.Andre Visser from ER24 says according to

witnesses, the strong winds had caused thetowering structure to tilt over and collapsetowards the Mouille Point side of the stadi-um.Two people sustained broken hip bones

and various other broken boneswhile otherssustained injuries to their backs and necks,with several scrapes and bruises.

People’s Post Woodstock-Maitland LEADER Tuesday 13 November 2012

Blown awayONE woman was killed when the scaffoldingto promote a sponsor at the Linkin Park con-cert gave way in gale-force winds.Several other concert-goers were hurt and

needed to have medical treatment.The fact is Cape Town is very windy this

time of year.This alone is a factor to take cognisance of

during fires.It makes the work of emergency medical

services, firefighters and disaster manage-ment groups so much more dangerous.The South-Easter literally blows away

clouds and dirt.And, now, scaffolding.The structure had been pre-approved,

whichmeans it met with the necessary safetyrequirements.This is not the first – or last – time concerts

by international acts will come to theMotherCity.After all, the 2010 World Cup extravaganza

went off with hardly a hitch.This concert is, however, the first that such

an event is marred by the death of a fan.In hindsight, it is fair to say all concerned

shouldhave applied themselves andgiven theweather a thought.However, who can say how the wind will

blow?Or how hard it will blow?The family and friends of the Hout Bay

woman who was killed have a right to askhardquestions and she deserves our respects.May this incident be a permanent marker

for all high-volume crowd events, so that or-ganisers take extraprecautionwith the safetyof the people of this fair city in mind.When it comes to the South-Easter,may the

worst this city has to experience be womenclinging to each other as they crossForeshorestreets, and clutch their dresses asmedia pho-tographers are dispatched to capture suchmoments.And may the death of Florentina Heaven-

Popa not be in vain.

THE response from Metrorail Regional Manag-er Mthuthuzeli Swartz (“Commuters separatedby class”, People’s Post, 23 October) refers.Your response was: “And 10% of Metrorail’s

patronage prefers to travel on MetroPlus andcontributes significantly to the region’s farerevenue.”That response highlights two concerning is-

sues. Firstly, it is not very dissimilar from theapartheid regime’s substantiation of their seg-regation policies, in that a small percentage ofthe so-called white population preferred the rel-ative comfort afforded to them by that system,at a great cost to the majority of the population.Secondly, it emphasises Metrorail’s unofficialpolicy of profits before people.The real reason why 10% of your patronage

prefersMetroPlus is because theMetro carriag-es are extremely overcrowded during rushhour, which is a direct result of your company’sinability to provide efficient and sufficienttrains.Looking at your statement from another an-

gle, 90% of your patronage is having to bear thebrunt of over-crowded, unsafe and undermain-tained carriages so that 10% can travel in com-fort.It is exactly such differentiation which was

created through apartheidwhich led to that sys-tem’s downfall. The only difference now is thatyour company is not using race as a basis forsegregation, but rather money.A class segregated system creates financial

benefits for your company in that you are ableto fine people for transgressing these self-creat-ed class barriers.It hasbecomea regular occurrence to seeyour

employees out in force, detaining women, chil-

dren, the elderly and everyone in between andonly releasing them on payment of the pre-scribed fine. Meanwhile, a blind eye is turnedwhen the trains are overcrowded, doors arekept open and people ride between carriages. Ihave video footage clearly showing how peopleare forced to hang out of open doors and thetrains are allowed to depart in full view of thetrain driver and station security.Your trains aremore often than not either de-

layed or cancelled. This just adds to the problemof over-crowding and creates this false need fora segregated class.Your company needs to improve its services

drastically. Do away with the class segregation,standardise your ticket prices andprovidemoretrains. There will then no longer be a need fora segregated MetroPlus class, as overcrowdingwill not be as big an issue. Naturally, your reve-nue from collecting fines would take a drop, butwhy must commuters continue to suffer badservice so you can collect fines?I urge you to take this matter seriously. I sug-

gest you inform all your personnel, includingsecurity staff, that they need to focus on com-muter safety. I am tired of observing securitystaff and Metrorail officials standing aroundidly, enjoying the sun and a chat while theywatch themayhemunfold in front of them.Theyare being paid to do a job and they are not doingit.We are paying high ticket prices partly to fi-

nance salaries for these idle individuals.It is becoming more apparent that Metrorail

is functioning as a glorified gravy train, andyour continued implementation of apartheid-era segregation policies are outdated.DONALD STRACHAN

DDoo aawwaayy with rawith rail seil segregregatgationion I HAVE great respect forthe magnanimous and dili-gent humanitarians of ourday, and also for our policeservice in their difficult andcontinuously dangeroustasks.In recent weeks it was

headlined in a Cape Towndaily newspaper that a blitzin (I think it was) LavenderHill saw the brutal actions ofpolice officers who apparent-ly used baseball bats andhockey sticks to beat up de-fensive residents while goingabout their duty searchingfor weapons and drugs.It could be argued the only

provocation the police gotwas a hostile verbal reactionfrom angry residents.In the light of abuse of au-

thority, fearful law-abidingresidents in those areas seethe police as the enemy be-cause of abuse of power andauthority.Maybe it will help if police

were not so unnecessarilybrutal and abusing their au-thority at times as was re-ported in the Cape Argus,then there might not be sucha fierce backlash in whichthey lose their lives.I hasten to add it is a world-

wide phenomena.LEWIS SCHROEDER

THE Volunteer Wildfire Services (VWS)open day takes place on Saturday 1 De-cember at the Newlands fire base be-tween 09:00 and 16:00.

There will be helicopter and firefightingdisplays, food stalls, exhibitions and a BestDressed Fire-kid competition.

The VWS, which works under the authori-ty of SANParks and CapeNature, offers thesewildfire safety tips for summer:

. If going into the mountains check theFire Danger Index on www.weathersa.co.za.

. If hiking or walking always carry atleast two litres of water.

. If you spot a wildfire, make a plan – don’tpanic. Phone for help – alert authorities toyour presence.

. Never run away from a wildfire up a hillor slope. If possible move sideways towardsflatter ground.

. Wildfires move with the wind, so moveaway and against the wind.

. Look for anything that could help shieldyourself from the fire’s heat.

. If caught in a wildfire look for naturalbreaks in vegetation such as cleared orrocky areas, depressions or large bodies ofwater. Clear away any vegetation you can be-fore the fire arrives.

. Get into those areas, get low to theground and breathe through a natural fab-ric.

. On a mountainside, the back side is saf-er. Avoid canyons (kloofs), natural “chim-neys” and saddles.

. If a road is nearby, lie face down alongthe road and cover yourself with a shield thatwill not melt or burn.

. Discard any non-cotton clothing as thiscould catch fire more easily.

. After the fire passes, remember the dan-ger is not over. Burned trees fall withoutwarning.

. After a fire the burnt ground and debrisis still hot and can burn you.

. Never leave a campfire unattended; al-ways completely extinguish the fire beforesleeping or leaving.

. Make sure camp fires or braais are a safedistance from any flammable material.

. Never braai or make camp fires in pro-hibited areas.

. Never throw cigarettes or matches froma car window.

. Never burn bonfires in windy condi-tions.

. Report a wildfire to 0 086 110 6417.

Bodyboarderwins SA champsLIAM MOSES

AGLEN BEACH bodyboarder has set hissights on the professional ranks afterwinning the junior division at the SouthAfrican BodyBoarding Championships.

LukeKitchin (16) beat 32 other bodyboard-ers, under the age of 18, from around SouthAfrica to claim the title in Kwa-Zulu Natalin October.Now the Glen Beach local has made it his

aim to join the International Bodyboard As-sociation World Tour in two years timewhen he matriculates from high school.“There is a world tour and basically you

have to be in the top 24 boarders in theworldafter doing trials,” says Kitchin.“I want to carry on when and I am 18 and

out of school I want to go oversees to wherethe InternationalBodyboardingAssociationdo some of their events. They have them inMexico, Australia and all round the world.If I make through the trials every time thenI know I can make it in body boarding.”The Camps BayHigh School student start-

ed bodyboardingwhenhewas just 14 andhisjourney to the top of junior body boardingin South Africa has been as swift as one ofthe sport’s aerial manoeuvres.Kitchin qualified for the national champi-

onships by out-performing his Cape Townpeers in four trial events this year. He sayswinning the national championships wasoverwhelming.“I was shocked because it’s my first year

at the juniors and there were loads of guyswho I thoughtwerebetter thanme, guyswho

are 18 and have been riding for longer thanme,” says Kitchin.“The one guy is supposed to be the number

one junior in South Africa and I managed tobeat him in the finals. It’s just overwhelm-ing.”He says that the combination of selecting

the best waves and having the courage totake risks were what gave him the edge overhis fellow juniors in Kwa-Zulu Natal.Kitchin took up the sport for the first time

in 2010 after watching a movie about thesport with a group of older friends whowerealready avid bodyboarders.The newly crowned champion says seeing

the first shots of the movie drove him to trythe moves for himself.“That just got me hooked straight away.

I wanted to be able to do what the guys inthe movie were doing.“Inverts, back flips, airs and barrels and

just taking the biggest waves they could andjust handling. It just caughtmyeye and I justwanted to do it.”Kitchin adds that he has become progres-

sively more addicted ever since emulatingthe riders he saw in the video.“Riding thewave and feeling the power be-

hind you and just having that feeling ofhanging in the air and hitting the lip. Whenyou do a trick and you feel yourself beinglaunched is just the best feeling. It’s basical-ly an addiction to the wave. You just can’tget enough,” he says.Kitchin also takes part in swimming and

waterpolo and says he surfs for at least threehours each and all day over the weekend.

Valiant Greenwood not guttedValiant Greenwood not guttedLIAM MOSES

RETREAT side Greenwood Ath-letic suffered a narrow defeat atthe hands of Ajax Cape Town inthe final of the SAFA Cape Townunder-13 competition atWilliamHerbert Sports Grounds on Sat-urday.

Greenwood advanced to the finalafter defeating Rebels FC, JomoPowers and Masidlale FC in consec-utive weekends, but fell at the finalhurdle against Ajax.

It was the first time any Green-wood Athletic side had taken partin a final of a SAFA CT competitionand, despite the 2-1 loss, head coachMoegamat Zain Armino waspleased with his team’s perform-ance. “Our kids did great – to cometo a final and lose 2-1 against AjaxCT is brilliant. We really gave thema run for their money,” he says.

“You win some, you lose some,but like I said I am proud of my guysbecause they didn’t stand back andgave their best.”

Ajax dominated the game fromvirtually the first whistle and cameclose to scoring just four minutesinto the 20-minute-long first half,when striker Athini Gcaka wastackled in the opposition box as hewas about to shoot.

Gcaka popped up in the box againtwo minutes later, but was foiled bya last ditch tackle and in the 14thminute he fired into the side nettingafter being put off when Greenwoodgoalkeeper, Uzair Isaacs, closedhim down.

Greenwood had no answer to theAjax attack. The pressure finallytold in the 16th minute when Gcakamade an intelligent run down the

left flank and a pin-point long ballfound him in space. This time hefinished with aplomb, smashing theball past a helpless Isaacs.

Ajax continued to threaten rightup to half-time and made severalraids into the opposition final third,only to be stopped by the desperateGreenwood defence.

TheUrbanWarriors immediatelyresumed their dominance in thesecond half, doubling the lead four

minutes after the restart.Midfielder Mandixole Smile

struck a dipping shot from the edgeof the box and Isaacs could onlypush the ball onto his crossbar be-fore it rebounded into the net.

Gcaka almost put the game to bedin the ninth minute when he met across from the left flank at the nearpost and flicked it just wide of thefar-side of goal.

The game seemed to be wrapped

up by the tenth minute and Ajaxcoach Justin Hamburger used theopportunity to give game time tothree substitutes.

However, the move cost Ajax im-mediately when centre-back JackWelch fouled an opposition playerin the box, awarding Greenwood apenalty.

Welch’s Greenwood counterpart,Dilan Thomas, stepped up, sent thekeeper the wrong way and gave his

side a lifeline back into the game.They continued to fight back and

almost squared the scores from afree kick, when the ball was crossedfrom the left flank to the far-postand Abdul James nudged his head-er just wide of the post.

Ajax came close to restoring theirtwo goal cushion just before the fi-nal whistle, but the brave Green-wood defence held firm and kept thescore at 2-1.
