6TH AVENUE

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

A plan to temporarily relocateshackdwellers to Maitlandhas residents fuming.

An age-old plan to develop hous-ing at the 6th Avenue Informal Set-tlement would see shackdwellerstemporarily moved to a site inMaitland.This land is currently being

transferred from provincial gov-ernment to the City of Cape Town.Bruce Oom, former spokesper-

son for the provincial minister ofHuman Settlements BonginkosiMadikizela, confirmed the City’splans to develop community hous-ing on the site (“We want housesnow”, People’s Post, 16 July 2013).Oom explained that the currentresidents would need to be movedto alternative property during con-struction.The 6th Avenue property is

owned by the Department of Hu-manSettlements,while theDepart-ment of Transport and PublicWorks owns the Maitland proper-ty.Only once transfer of both prop-

erties has been done can the devel-opment proceed.However, Maitland Ratepayers’

Association chairperson BienieGarnie says he does not believe themove will be temporary.“The settlement at 6th Avenue

was also meant to be only tempo-rary, and it has been there foryears. We don’t trust the City withtheir empty promises. Maitland isalready overcrowded. We will notallow people to be dumped here,”he says.Community leader Jimmy Xali-

pi says objections from the associa-

tion are misplaced.“The ratepayers own their hous-

es, not the land around them. Theland is owned by government andgovernment wants to build housesfor its people, as housing is a con-stitutional right,” he says.“No one can stop government

from building houses for the poor-est of the poor.”Xalipi believes a housing devel-

opment will not decrease propertyvalues. “Recent developments,such as the N2 Gateway, are welldesigned. Many of the residents inthe informal settlement are sick

and live in poor conditions. Therehave also been lives lost due toshack fires. We, constitutionally,are all equal but these people aresuffering,” he says.According to public works

spokesperson Al-Ameen Kafaarthe department says the transfer isunderway, as they are waiting forthe City to sign the deed of sale.“Thereafter the State Attorney

will be instructed to start the trans-fer process. The actual transfer ofthe property can, however, only beregistered once sub-division andrezoning had been effected,” he

says.City Mayoral Committee mem-

ber for Human Settlements Siyab-ulela Mamkeli says: “The land of6th Avenue informal settlement isstill in the process of being trans-ferred from the provincial govern-ment to the City of Cape Town,which will inform the way for-ward.”Garnie insists no public consul-

tation has taken place with Mait-land residents. “The residents areoutraged. You can’t just put upshacks on open land as it leads tocrime, overcrowding and devalua-

tion of properties,” he insists.“Council needs to build the

structures first and thenmove peo-ple. There are other areas thesepeople could be moved to, such asPinelands.”But, Kafaar says, the consulta-

tion process falls under the City’smandate. “This department, in thespirit of cooperate governance,made the land available to the Cityto carry out its mandate which isto provide housing to its citizens.The consultationprocesswith resi-dents will be the responsibility ofthe City,” says Kafaar.

KENSINGTON

Irate residents protestNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Kensington residents marched to theCape Town Civic Centre on Wednes-day, demanding that Kensington be re-

moved from a list of possible relocation sitesfor Dunoon shackdwellers.

During a recent meeting, Transnet offi-cials informed the community that the sitewas one of several which had been suggestedfor the relocation of the informal settlementdwellers.

Thousands of residents in Dunoon’s Siya-hlala informal settlement were reportedlytold they would be relocated (“Confusionover relocation of Dunoon residents”, Peo-ple’s Post, 28 October).

Transnet brought an application for theeviction of the Siyahlala community from itsrail reserve and the matter was referred formediation. In the process, alternative siteshave been proposed for relocation and areunder investigation.

Kensington and Factreton Ratepayers’ As-sociation secretary Mariam Oliver says “to-

tal disrespect and disregard” have beenshown to the community in the absence ofa consultation process.

Residents are calling for property aroundthe Century City station to be taken off thecards as a possible site for the relocation ofDunoon shackdwellers, says Oliver.

Protesters also demanded that housing besupplied for Kensington residents beforeany other communities be relocated to thearea. They claim housing has not been builtin the area for over four decades, with manyresidents on the waiting list for 30 years.

PROPERTY

In demandNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

TheObservatory housingmarket is rap-idly undergoing gentrification, ac-cording to a real estate agency.

This is amid demand for residential prop-erty in the suburb soars.Emmanuel Senaya, of an internationalreal estate group, says the area is experienc-ing rapid urban renewal and with propertyselling faster and for higher prices than lastyear.“The Observatory property markethasn’t sloweddownone iota, becausewhereit’s not pushed by young up-and-comings,it’s theplaygroundof investment buyers be-cause of the number of students continuallyneeding accommodation,” he says.In ninemonths, Senayamade 10 sales, sixof which were to cash buyers.The main buyers in Observatory areyoung couples who were students in the ar-ea and are now working as professionals,Senaya says. “They are attracted by the ex-tra space and value offered by a house inObservatory compared to an apartmentelsewhere in Cape Town,” he says.Ursula van Stavel, Observatory Improve-ment District chief operating officer, saysthere is not a particularly high turnover ofresidential real estate as stock is in shortsupply and the demand for property out-strips supply, which has resulted in the in-crease in property prices.Contributing factors to the demand in-clude “investment from the private sectorresulting in the improvement in the condi-tion of individual properties” and the “per-ception theareaas awhole isupgradingandimproving”.“Excellent data services and phone recep-tion, green spaces to relax and enjoy naturewithin walking distance, beautiful 100-

year-old properties and a close communitycreates a feeling of safety.”Observatory Civic Association chairper-son Marc Turok believes gentrification isnot taking place.“Observatory is seeing a resurgence ofvalue not because of a class change but be-cause it has intrinsic value. Very ordinaryrenovations to repair properties that havebeen neglected and generally preserve theoriginal architectural qualities of the areamakes all the difference,” he says.“Because soundplanning principles havebeen applied to Observatory in the form ofa declared Urban Conservation Area,change appears to happen rapidly since re-pairs to a few cracks and a fresh coat ofpaint instantaneously make propertieslook valuable.”The high demand has enabled Observato-ry to avoid the decay suffered by some otherareas like LowerWoodstock, Salt River andMaitland, Turok says.“One finds properties left unmaintainedand eventually demolished. The high de-mand means people will invest more intheir properties in Obs because its not justamaintenance cost, it’s a good investment.”Senaya says it is difficult to get stock inthe area. “Property owners in Observatoryhave realised what a great investment theyhave, which explains why properties sellvery quickly when they come onto the mar-ket.”According to Western Cape property ag-gregation website PropStats, from Januaryto August last year 28 properties were soldin Observatory, raking in sales to the valueof R34.6m. The average sale price for homesin the area was pegged at R1.2 m.In 2014, 27 properties out of the 32 reflect-ed on PropStats sold in less than twomonths. The average sale price was R1.3mto R1.4m. The listing time was 13 days.

SALT RIVER

Campaign tobeat bullyingNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

In a bid to stem bullying, a Salt Riverorganisation is taking the message ofanti-violence to youth online.The Reform Foundation has launched

an online campaign to prevent bullyingafter noticing an increase in violenceamong the youth, says founder PrestonJongbloed.

For over 14 years, Jongbloed hasworked in youth development, experi-encing the challenges facing the young-er generation.

“As a motivational speaker havingspoken to over 400 000 pupils at variousschools and juveniles centres across thecountry, over the last year I have seenan increase in violence at schools,” hesays.

This, together with a close familyfriend losing a son to suicide, inspiredJongbloed to tackle the culture of bully-ing.

A study released by survey companyPondering Panda found that 57% of pu-pils had experienced bullying.

Of these, 26% said the bullying hadbeen physical and 45% of respondentssaid dangerous weapons were broughtto school.

“I found that bullying is on the in-

crease not just in schools and colleges,but also in workplaces. The foundationwas then established to promote anti-bullying awareness,” he explains.

In addition, one in 10 of the survey’srespondents felt therewas no one to turnto when they’ve been bullied.

The foundation launched an onlinecampaign called #betheone, which willfeature a roadshow of celebrities such asJonathan Rubain, Neville D, QuintonManuels, Jason Pretorius and ShermerLeedenberg who will visit schools tospeak out against increasing bullyingand encourage further education. “Thisgives our celebs the platform to sharetheir stories of overcoming their cir-cumstances and carving out successfulcareers by making good decisions,”Jongbloed says.

Workshops are also available forteachers, parents and corporate organi-sations to equip them with the tools tocombat bullying, Jongbloed explains.

“Bullying is the result of somethingdeeper.Our approachwill be touse char-acter development and career directionas apillar to strengthenvictims tobe em-powered.We look to build value systemsand how to break the culture of manipu-lation,” he says.V Visit www.refocusfoundation.co.za or RefocusFoundation on Facebook for more information.

FACTRETON

Brakes on site revampNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Plans for an upgrade to the AlbacorePark have ground to a halt.

The upgrade was meant to see playequipment, an artificial mini soccer pitch,irrigation and landscaping installed.

The current budget is for R30 000, al-though last year former ward councillorDerrick America announced he would ap-ply for additional funding of R500 000 totransform the Albacore Street public openspace.

However, the project is on holdwhile the“future of the park is decided”.

Ward councillor Lisa McBride says theward committee decided that until thecommunity buys in to assist in curbingvandalism in the area, there will be no fu-ture development in the public space.

Two residents have already volunteeredto take custodianship of the park and willmeet with McBride soon.

This will be followed by a communitymeeting, she says.

Albacore Street resident Peter Petersensays the upgrade should only take placeonce security issues around the park havebeen resolved.

“There is too much shooting so an up-grade wouldn’t benefit us,” explains Pe-tersen.

“Wewere very excitedwhen the upgradewas first announced. But the shootingneeds to stop first – then the communitycan enjoy the park and take care of it.”

Kensington and Factreton CommunityPolice Forum spokesperson LorenzoSadan says a safe space is needed in thecommunity.

“We definitely support the upgrade. But

we would like to see the money go towardsother initiatives to make the area safer,such as training LawEnforcement officers

or for the forum to train neighbourhoodwatches,” he says.

Throughout the ward, residents are be-

ing encouraged to take responsibility forand maintain parks to reduce vandalism,says McBride.

CAMPAIGN

Dangers of drinking and walkingA new multimedia campaign high-

lighting thedangers of drinkingandwalking has been launched.

The #WalkSafe campaign is aimed atpedestrians, and comprises Xhosa post-ers and radio advertisements, as well asan online campaign, aimed at conveyingthis message to targeted areas where re-search and statistics have shown people

to be most affected.Provincial road death statistics show

that pedestrian deathsmade up 44%of allroad deaths this year, with over 450 pe-destrians killed.“Weknow that poorer communities are

disproportionately represented in thesenumbers, with black men, aged 20 to 34,being thehighest riskdemographic,” pro-

vincial transport mininster DonaldGrant says.“Recent studies have also shown a link

between pedestrian deaths and alcoholconsumption,with alcohol being found tobe present in 58% of pedestrian fatalitieswhere blood was tested, and 90% of malepedestrians that were killed at night.”The campaign is live on the Safely

Home website (www.safelyhome.west-erncape.gov.za) and on Twitter at@WCGovSafelyHome’s hashtags #Walk-Safe and #SafeRoadsForAll.In earlyDecember, SafelyHomewill re-

lease drink-driving radio messages torun parallel with #WalkSafe and boostthe law enforcement efforts of provincialand municipal Traffic Services.

HERITAGE DOCUMENTED

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Observatory residents are producing adocumentary on the history and evo-lution of their suburb.

Observatory Improvement District Arts,Sport andHeritage Committee chairpersonEdwin Angless says the documentary ismore than just a film.“It’s an ongoing process called the Living

History of Obs. This means that we try toget as many people as possible to give theirinput of what they believe are the lesser-known events, people and processes thathave determined the direction of the devel-opment of Obs,” he says.The project was inspired by the need to

demonstrate the suburbs’ varied history,spanning across a number of ethnic groupsand classes.This was highlighted by graffiti on the

Great War memorial at the village green afew years ago, which spoke out against thecommunity’s “white history”, Angless ex-plains.“While I felt this was a bit unfair as most

of the names of the people who died during1914 to 1918 and engraved into thememorialwere names of Observatory residents whowere coloured, I also had to concede thatthere’s abigvacuumwhen it comes tobeingaware of our history,” he says.The project aims to portray the suburb’s

history as an evolving process, he says.“We look at the very earliest verifiable

events that took place long before the firstEuropean settlers arrived right up to thepresent day. A big part of it is devoted tothe people who lived and operated in Obsduring the struggle days of the ’70s and’80s,” he says. “Any community needs to beable to relate to its past and analyse thatpast to see where it can improve and learnfrom mistakes.”

Funding for a series of boards with infor-mation on the suburb’s past has also beenallocated byward councillorBrettHerron’sward allocation budget (“A heritage site forall to see”, People’s Post, 13 March).Images and text that describe the history

of Observatory will feature on the boards.The community boasts a rich heritage,

dating back to a home for the Khoi beforeEuropean settlers.A trailer of the film is available for view-

ing at the Observatory Improvement Dis-trict offices and will be screened on CTV.

PILOT PROJECT

Platform for buskingNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Apilot project to regulate busk-ing will see designated busk-ing sites set up at popular

spots across the CBD.Busking spaces have been pro-

posed for St George’s Mall,Thibault Square and the Compa-ny’s Garden, says Garreth Bloor,City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Com-mittee member for Tourism,Events and Economic Develop-ment.

The project will run from mid-January to March under the PublicArt Management Framework.

“We are still in the planningphase with the service providerand other internal City depart-ments. This is a pilot project andwe therefore hope to gain some in-sight and lessons for the future. Wehave hired a service provider tomanage, monitor and evaluate theproject in consultation with theCity’s arts and culture depart-ment,” he explains.

Buskers from the CBD have beenconsulted in preparation for theroll-out of the pilot.

Ward councillor Dave Bryant

says the project has been a longtime coming, following the assaultof blind busker Lunga Goodman.

“This project is the result of twoyears of planning between myselfand the relevant officials. I first ap-proached the department with thisidea in early 2013 and it is fantasticto see it finally coming together. Iam a firm supporter of busking andpublic performance and it is goodto see the City taking the lead in fa-cilitating and driving this in theCBD,” he says.

The pilot project does not put anyadded restrictions on busking inthe CBD, and is designed to act asa catalyst for new performancespaces and to bring music andmore vibrancy to the streets, Bry-ant explains.

“I have already heard from anumber of prominent South Afri-can musicians and performerswho have added their support tothe initiative. The City will be in-stalling specially designed mats asa way of designating the key per-formance spaces for the project.For many buskers, this is their on-ly source of income and we need tobe doing as much as we can to helpthem to leverage of the hundreds of

thousands of commuters and tour-ists coming through the CBD everyday.”

Drum maker and busker DjibyMbaye says the pilot has the poten-tial to turn busking into an attrac-tion. “Those who enjoy the musicwill go to those areas and otherswon’t complain about the noisethen,” he says.

Although Mbaye is willing toleave his stall at GreenmarketSquare to play at the busking spots,others may not be so willing, hesays.

Should the project be successful,it may be rolled out to other areaswhich see a large number of busk-ers, Bloor says.

Camps Bay Ratepayers’ Associa-tion chairperson Chris Willemsesays a busking area has been pro-posed for Camps Bay.

“We support the plan for a desig-nated busking area as it will solvea lot of problems, such as the har-assment of customers at restau-rants. There has been some reluc-tance from buskers who don’t wantto move away from the pavementin front of restaurants. It’s very ex-perimental, but if it works it willbecome an attraction,” he says.

Calm waters for the CapeOver 250 trained and accreditedlifeguards will be deployed to vari-ous beaches between 10:00 and18:00 daily during the festive sea-son.

This service will be boosted bylifesaving clubs on some beaches,Lifesaving Western Province’s vol-unteer services and the NationalSea Rescue Institute.

In addition, there will be 218 life-guards on duty who will overseethe City’s 36 public swimmingpools over the peak holiday season,says City of Cape Town MayoralCommittee member for Communi-ty Services and Special ProjectsBelinda Walker.

“We want to emphasise that safe-ty is a shared responsibility be-tween the City and our beachgoersand pool users. While the City doesprovide lifeguards in conjunctionwith our partners, this servicedoes not exist to take the place ofa parent or guardian’s supervisionof children,” she says.

Beachgoers should swim only indesignated swimming areas indi-cated by flags.

“There are also law enforcementofficers patrolling beaches to as-sist in ensuring that people swimonly in designated areas. We askthat all people respect the instruc-tions of both lifeguards and law en-forcement officers and also reportany irresponsible behaviour in thewater, such as people swimmingoff the rocks, so that they canpreemptively keep people safe,”she says.

Beachgoers are encouraged toswim only where there are life-guards and where signs indicatethat it is safe to do so.

Only swim in areas where otherpeople are present. Swim in groupsand advise friends or family whenyou go swimming. Do not swimwhen there are marine animalssuch as whales, dolphins and sealsin the area or when a marine ani-mal carcass has washed up ontothe beach.

If you find yourself in trouble,raise your arm and wave to attractthe lifeguard’s attention.

Try not to panic, as this willmake you tired.

If you see someone in trouble inthe sea, alert the lifeguards or findtrained help. Do not put your ownlife in danger.

“Alcohol is one of the leadingcauses of drowning and is an issueof concern for the City,” Walkersays.

“Every year the City’s law en-forcement officers confiscate largeamounts of alcohol from ourbeaches. However, the problem ofpeople swimming while under theinfluence of alcohol persists. Thisposes an additional risk to otherswimmers and those lifeguardstasked with ensuring their safety.

“We urge residents not to allowfamily members and friends to gointo the water if they have con-sumed alcohol and to report any in-toxicated beachgoers to the life-guard or law enforcement officeron duty.”

Dress up for a good causeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

It’s that time of the year whenwomen and girls kick off theirboots, get out the razors, warmup the wax and find a new colourto brighten up their toe nails.

Yes, summer is here and soonwe will see women across CapeTown show off the legs they havebeen hiding all winter by wear-ing their favourite dresses.

Some will go for short andtight, while others will opt for theskater dresses which comple-ment most body types. Still oth-ers will go for a fuller lengthmaxi-style dresses.

Whatever your preference, adress is the one clothing itemthat helps women celebrate theirfemininity.

This year a local NPO is callingon Cape Town women to weardresses for a good cause.

Milk Matters, situated at Mow-bray Maternity Hospital, haslaunched their Dresses for Livescampaign where women gettheir friends, family and col-leagues to pledge donations foreach day they wear a dress.

HistoryAccording to their website,

Milk Matters was formed in 2003by a group of lactation consult-ants and two mothers.

The group was inspired by theIthemba Lethu Breastmilk Bankin Durban and identified a simi-lar need in Cape Town to providebreastmilk to infants who hadbeen abandoned or orphaned asa result of their mothers suffer-ing from HIV or Aids.

They have three in-house milkbanks at various hospitals.

CampaignCoordinator Jenny Wright ex-

plains the idea originated fromone of their supporters who de-cided she wanted to raise aware-ness and funds and asked friendsand family to sponsor her foreach day she wore a dress in De-cember.

“She raised sufficient fundingto enable us to go ahead with re-developing our website, a project

that is nearingcompletion,”Wright says.

This yearshe ap-proached theorganisationand chal-lenged staff tojoin her.

After gain-ing support,the team thenopted to invitebreastmilk do-nors and othersupporters toparticipate byeither wear-ing dresses tooand gettingsponsors or bysponsoring awoman of theMilk Mattersteam.

Wright saysthe teamthought longand hard about a name to de-scribe the campaign.

“We wanted the name to cap-ture what we are doing. We arewearing dresses so that ultimate-ly more premature babies whoweigh less than 1.5kg can haveaccess to donor breastmilk,which can undoubtedly be life-saving for them,” she says.

By wearing dresses the organi-sation hopes to raise funds forthe breastmilk bank, as well asawareness to get more mothersto donate milk.

Wright says just 50ml of breast-milk can feed a baby of less then1.5kg for 24 hours and it can savetheir life in those first criticalfew weeks if their own mother isunable to provide the breastmilkthey need.

Signing upWright says women wanting to

participate are required to signup with the organisation andgather support from theirfriends. For each day they weara dress for the month of Decem-ber, their friends agree to makea donation to the organisation.

The campaign also appeals to

men to assist who can help funda staff member, friend or relativeparticipating.

Wright explains once the finaltotal is raised they will assesswhat the most urgent needs areand where the money can be usedto make the biggest impact.

“Some of the money will beused for public awareness mate-rials, as without things like post-ers and pamphlets mothers willnot know they can donate theirmilk and we would not have do-nor breastmilk for the babies,”she says.

Wright further adds that theorganisation is in need of newfreezers.

“With a caring, involved com-munity, 31 days, a few dresses–and just think of the impact wecan have – donor breastmilk isgoing to more of our most vulner-able premature babies with thelife-saving benefits it brings.

Help us give hope and life topremature babies when theremight otherwise have beennone”.V For more information call082 895 8004 or email info@milkmat-ters.org

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

Call for nil toleranceA s government and NPOs create

awareness of woman and child abuseduring the 16 Days of Activism cam-

paign, civil society is calling for year-roundaction.

More than 30 civil organisations havepartnered in protest, calling for a nationalstrategy to address gender-based violencesaying the rape, battery and assault of wom-en each year needs to be prioritised.

In her speech to Parliament on Friday 21November, national minister of Women andChildren Susan Shabangu announced theministry would conduct provincial dia-logues to better understand the causes andconsequences of poverty and inequality, todevelop a research agenda and to inform theNational Strategic Plan (NSP) on Gender-Based Violence.

While civic groups welcome this public re-commitment to the “currently stalled and ill-defined” NSP process, it is simply notenough, the partnership says in a statement.

Civil society groups are demanding a NSPthat is fully funded and commits significantnew resources; is developed through anopen, inclusive and consultative process;and creates real accountability by revivingand reconstituting the moribund NationalGender-Based Violence Council.

Mara Glennie, executive director of Tearswhich is one of the participating organisa-tions in this week’s actions, explains:

“NGOs are frequently being asked to carryout work in responding to gender-based vio-lence which is the responsibility of the state.The state has essentially outsourced manyessential statutory services to NGOs, butwithout funding [the organisations],” Glen-nie says.

According to a recent study by KPMG,gender-based violence costs South Africa up

to R42bn a year – roughly 1% of the country’sGDP.

Yet, as research from the UK shows, forevery £1 spent on prevention, the countrystands to save £6 on response services.

Gender-based violence is on the rise, saysSaartjie Baartman Centre for Women andChildren director Shaheema McLeod.

“Gender-based violence continues to in-crease in the province and the rest of thecountry,” she says.

McLeod believes this is owing to an ineffi-cient judicial system, lack of awarenesswithin the police force and ignorancearound what constitutes abuse.

“The bulk of cases go unreported – fear,shame, denial and further abuse from theperpetrator are some of the reasons for this.There is very little victim support and only3% of offenders are found guilty of the crimecommitted,” she says.

“Campaigns such as the 16 Days of No Vio-lence are an excellent vehicle for creatingawareness around abuse. However, to reallysee a difference, we need to change our be-haviour and the belief systems that are sodeeply rooted in our country.”

The Saartjie Baartman Centre, which wasestablished 15-years ago, has assisted morethan 100 000 victims of crime and violence.

Over the past few years, the Athlone-basedorganisation has seen a 65% increase in thenumber of women and children seeking as-sistance.

In South Africa, a woman is raped everyfour minutes or killed every six hours by herintimate partner.

One in five women are forced into sex byan intimate partner.

More than 100 cases of child abuse are re-ported every week and a child is sexually as-saulted every three minutes.

“There should be zero tolerance towardsviolence, no matter what day of the year itis. Education starts with our children. Un-fortunately, all to often victims of abuse be-come the abusers – this is the cycle that wehave to break, only then will we see cam-paigns such as the 16 Days initiative havinga real impact,” McLeod says.

Legal Resources Centre spokespersonCharlene May says government is obliged toassist in reducing gender violence.

“Government has a constitutional obliga-tion to address gender based violence in a

strategic, coordinated and funded manner.Women in South Africa’s constitutionalrights to dignity, equality and freedom fromviolence will continue to be violated as longas there is no national strategic plan to ad-dress gender-based violence,” she says.

Ready to rumbleAWA’sultimate fightnight onThursday 11December features a 23-man Coca-ColaRoyal Rumble battle where the last manstanding will exit the ring with the mostcoveted belt.The current title holder is Miss Gor-

geous who vows to keep the belt for a sec-ond year running, even though he’ll be thefirst man entering the ring and will haveto battle through the full complement of 22remaining wrestlers.If hemanages to do that, he’ll be the first

man inAWAhistory to accomplish a back-to-back victory.Johnny Palazzio comes back all guns

blazing for this match to defend his cruis-erweight title that he was able to retain af-ter a battle with Mr Money three monthsago. This was the fight where Palazziobroke his leg and continued in the ring de-spite the injury. As for Mr Money, losingto Palazzio in the previous match meanshe’ll have to wear a dress on the night ofthe Royal Rumble – the result of the lostchallenge.Other superstars set to contest will be

the All Africa Heavyweight Champion –the Missing Link, Shaun Koen, Max TheBody, Sammy Swiegers, Ed-Electric andEl-Marco. If you’re expecting absolute cha-os, you won’t be disappointed in this mas-sive, unrestricted brawl.While the Royal Rumblewill undoubted-

ly be the highlight of the evening, it is byno means the only match worth makingthe effort to see. In fact, the AWAhave pre-pared an extended talent pool for thisevent and that means five intense bouts.TheParowCivicCentre onceagainhosts

the action and the first fight starts at 19:30.

BATTLE READY: Mr Money (Goodwood), JohnnyPalazzio (Brackenfell) and Vinnie Vegas (Ath-lone) are three of the men that will competein the Royal Rumble.

Milano regain winning formSHIFAAN RYKLIEF

Milano United got back to winningways with a convincing 3-1 win overBlack Leopards at Philippi Stadium

on Friday evening.It took Milano just three minutes to open

up the scoring against Black Leopards whenDeniro Stanley tapped the ball into the backof the net after Taariq Fielies did well to sethim up.

Minutes later, Brandon Theron thoughthe was on his way to double that lead whenChad Robertson played him a stunning longball just behind the Leopards backline, butthe ball fell inches away from Theron whichprovided goalkeeper Tsatsi Theletsane achance to come out and collect.

In the 20th minute, Fielies made a phe-nomenal run down the right side to surpasshis marker, before he played the ball into thedanger area which captain Nazier Jacobspicked up. Although Jacobs’ follow up shotwas eventually blocked by the Leopards de-fence.

Once both teams settled in, the match be-came a back and forth tussle in the middleof the park. The Kinnes opted to sit deep inorder to soak up the Leopards’ pressure asthey played the ball around beautifully withan attractive passing rhythm. Milano keptthings compact and restricted their visitorsin the final third.

Lidoda Duvha then brought on midfielderMatlakala Maboke to help contribute insearch of the equaliser.

Jabulani Ndebele came close to breakingthrough with his clever run straight downthe middle, but the experienced campaignerNasief Morris reacted swiftly to deny himwith a last minute sliding challenge.

The visitors started to play freely swaying

from left to right and looked more threaten-ing as they moved into the last third of thepitch. However, it took them 36 minutes ofplay to get their first shot at goal which waseventually wasted by Sanele Mkhize fromclose range. A minute later Leopards’ per-sistence finally paid off when substituteMatlakala tapped a loose ball in following acorner set-piece to level matters.

The Black and Yellow responded almostimmediately to regain the lead. Ganief Stel-lenboom had made the initial run down theleft side before he played the ball into the 18-yard area which Devon Saal picked up andmade no mistake when he tucked the ball in-to the far corner, giving Theletsane nochance.

The visitors should have levelled mattersat the restart when Matlakala had time andspace on the edge of the 18-yard area, but hefailed to hit the target.

A quarter into the second period, coachIan Palmer introduced the fresh legs of Les-vin Stoffels into the attack. The speed andclever off-the-ball running of Stoffels imme-diately impacted the Leopards defence asthey were found dislodged at times.

In the 67th minute Lidoda Duvha conced-ed a penalty when Sphamandla Sithole han-dled Theron’s cross in the 18-yard area.Former Santos and Panathinaikos defenderNasief Morris stepped up and calmly slottedhome to give his side a 3-1 lead, and at thesame time scored his fourth goal of the sea-son.

In the final stages of the game, holdingmidfielder Edward Williams made his wayonto the pitch in aid of retaining the lead,as well as winger Henry Tau. Milano thenwent on to hand Black Leopards their thirdstraight defeat in Cape Town in the space ofone week. – www.capetownfootball.co.za
