A shocking spate of theftA shocking spate of theftNICOLE MCCAIN

Next time the lights go out, brazenthieves are probably to blame –

again.Kensington and Factreton residents

have been hit hard by a recent spate ofcable theft.There have been three thefts in the

last three months, says Neil Arendse,head of the City of Cape Town’s MetalTheftsUnit, knownas theCopperheads.But Kensington police spokesperson

Warrant Officer Ntombi Nqunqekasays there were three reports in July

alone, with two reported in May andthree in April.Kevin Alexander, the spokesperson

for the Kensington Factreton Ratepay-ers’Association, sayshe is awareof sev-eral cases of cable theft.“Even I’ve been a victim!” he says.“A couple of months ago, the lines in

Vliegtuig Road were stolen. They werereplaced, and then stolenagain thenextday. Two weeks after that, they werestolen again.”Alexander says the residents have

reached the end of their rope.“It’s a huge inconvenience. The com-

munity centres and schools are affect-ed, and there are elderly residents whoare leftwithout electricity or telephonelines. It has a massive impact,” hefumes.Kensington residentArthur Strydom

was without electricity after the cablesin 5th Avenue were stolen last week.“We heard noises around 04:00, but

they were gone by the time I got there.They also took the cable that runs alongthe side of our house.Wewere badly af-fected. There was no hot water forwashing, and we weren’t able to cook,”he laments.“Fortunately, the cable was replaced

the next day, but I worry that it will bestolen again. I think it needs to beplaced underground.”Arendse says theCity has been taking

action to minimise the theft.“One arrest was made in conjunction

with the K9 Unit and police for cabletheft. The City’s Department of Elec-tricity removed some of the overheadcables and placed them undergroundwhich should help,” he says.

“Cable theft in any area has a largeimpact on residents and especially onbusinesses. In the Kensington areathere is a large number of businesseswhich obviously suffer losses whenpower is off due to cable theft.However,the we do notify the electricity depart-ment immediately after we becomeaware of the theft and the cables arenormally repaired or restored veryquickly.”However, he says the City needs com-

munity involvement to fight the crimespree.“The Copperheads largely depend on

community involvement and the re-porting of such crimes. Some of our suc-cesses are largely due to community in-volvement. We have also identified‘hotspots’ which we cover during ourdaily patrols andweekend operations.”

TELLING IT AS IT IS

WOODSTOCK | MAITLAND

PEOPLE'S POST | WOODSTOCK | MAITLANDTuesday, 30 July 20132 ISSUES

TAMMY PETERSEN

The hands that held the seat as she learntto ride a bicycle belong to the same person

whomolestedher for 13 years and stabbedher17 times with a screwdriver.

Child rape perpetrated by a familymemberis not as uncommon as people think, socialworkers say.

Statistics reveal a woman is raped every 48seconds in SA, and a worrying number of vic-tims are children who should be formingbonds of trust with their primary caregivers.

The scars coveringMelissa’s body are noth-ing compared to her psychological damage.

When her father first touched her at theage of seven, she thought he was showing af-

fection. “Deep down I knewwhat hewas do-ing was wrong, but I was just a child andhe was my daddy. He was my hero. Whywould he do anything to hurt me?”

As the years progressed, so too did his ad-vances, but with more aggression.

“I had my first period when I was 11 andthis upset him – it’s like he never wantedme to grow up. The touching stopped soonthereafter. I could finally relax.”

The calm lasted a year. On a warm dayin March, she was watching TV. Her dadlost his job and was at home.

“I was still wearing my school uniform.He came into my room and asked about myday. Everything was normal.”

Melissa didn’t know that minutes laterher life would change.

She heard him in the kitchen. “Out of no-where he came bounding intomy roomandsmackedme across the face. I was stunned.He got on top ofme and started chokingme.Then the blows rained down. I was crying,but it was like he didn’t realisewhat hewasdoing.”

Exhausted from fighting back, she felthim rip off her school pants. “I wept likea baby while he raped me. It felt like I waswatching this happen to someone else.”

He left a tearful Melissa lying on the bed,wearing only her school shirt.

Terrified and writhing in pain, shescreamed that she would tell her mother.

“I had never seen him so angry. He wentto the kitchen and returned with a screw-driver.”

He asked her to repeat what she’d said.“I did, then I felt the first stab tomy throat.”

The last words she heard before hestabbed her 16 more times were: “Now youwill never be able to say anything.”

In a semi-conscious state, Melissa lay ina pool of blood. “I rolled over and crawledtowards the front gate, but only managedtomake it out the front door. I heard peoplewalking by, but couldn’t breathe or call outto them. All I made was gurgling sounds.”

A friend found her in the doorway andcalled her mother, who phoned for help.

She woke up two days later in ICU.Her father was the first person to visit.

“He said if I told anyone what had hap-pened, he would finish what he had start-ed.”

He had told her mother he wasn’t homeat the time.

“My father toldme to tell the police some-one had broken in while I was home. Hegave me specific details, like the man hadbeenwearing a balaclavawhen he attackedme and I didn’t see his face. I was terrifiedand stuck to his story.”

At a check-up weeks later, she found shewas pregnant. “Doctors told my parentsthey could have the baby aborted, but myfather refused supposedly on moralgrounds. Mymother didn’t want to keep it,but he insisted.”

Melissa went into labour seven monthslater.

She was 12.

“Natural things like breastfeedingoverwhelmed me. I was a child; I wassupposed to be playing with dolls, notlooking after a baby.”

Hermother took over the reins. “Shetreated Janice like her own child. I wastold from the beginning that this wasnow my sister; only a few people knewthe truth. But that was what my par-ents wanted, and I had to accept it.”

Life went back to normal as the fami-ly “swept everything under the car-pet”. “But things were never the same.I never felt comfortable at home. Iwished school would last forever; itwas my safe haven. I hated hearing theschool bell ring – it meant I had to go.”

A year later, her father raped heragain. “It becamea regular thing; twicea month, when nobody was home. Thistime I didn’t fight back. I knew whatwould happen if I did.”

A sense of betrayal, adding to thedevastationof rape, is oneof the strong-est emotions experienced by a victimwho has been attacked by a familymember, says Kathleen Dey, the direc-tor of the Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust.

“It inevitably breaks the alliance and trustwithin the family unit if the perpetrator isa relative. And while the family processesthe knowledge of the incident, it often hap-pens that the during the assigning of who isresponsible for causing the pain, the victimis blamed,” she says.

“Facing the reaction of your support sys-tem can be deeply hurtful once you take thatstep as the family might feel they need theperpetrator, especially if he is the breadwin-ner.”

Melissa relived thehorror for sevenyears.Then, a week before her 21st birthday, she

realised she couldn’t carry the burden anylonger. “I realised it was never going to stop.I had a strange moment of clarity – thingswere never going to change.

“My mother was cooking and I went tostandnext to her. I just blurted it out. I didn’tcry; I told her her husband was my baby’sdaddy. She was calm. She didn’t even looksurprised. She just told me to take a walk,and that she would speak to him.”

Her mother did, and her response caughtMelissa off guard. “She said she told him tonever do it again. That was it; end of story.”

Shocked that her mother would chooseher husband over her daughter, Melissapackedherbags. “Mybest friendhad toldmyaunt what had happened and she told me tomove in with her. I thought it was a newstart, that Iwould finally be able to breathe.”

But her ordeal was not over. “When therest of my family found out, their reactionsastonished me. My one aunt threatened myfather with an axe. His mother – my grand-mother – accused me of seducing him. Oth-ers chose not to speak about it,” she says.

A small, round scar is her constant re-minder.Melissa nowhas a strained relation-ship with her family, and keeps her fatherat arms’ length.

“I didn’t lay charges against him becauseI don’twant Janice toknowhowshewas con-ceived. She grew up to be a normal, happyteenager. I want to keep it that way.”

The “hidden crime” of child rape has beengoing unpunished for decades, Cape TownChild Welfare chief executive Niresh Ramk-lass insists. “It is a sad reality that mostmothers accuse and blame their own chil-dren of wrongdoing when they speak out,”he says. “They feel a stronger need to protecttheir partner than their offspring. Instead ofbeing an ally of their daughters, they are theprotectors of the perpetrators.”

Dozensof cases of sexually abusive step-fa-thers and even biological dads are being in-vestigated by welfare authorities.

But these incidents are usually reportedby third parties, such as school teachers.

The long-term effects of childhood traumaincludes psychiatric breakdowns, sub-stance abuse and a warped set of family val-ues. “Without intense therapy and interven-tion, the repercussions later in life are crip-pling.”

Other children are at great risk if paedo-philes are not brought to book, Ramklassstresses. “Warning, begging and threaten-ing someone to change will only make themsuppress their urges. And if it doesn’t hap-pen in your line of sight anymore, look out-side – someone else’s child is probably thevictim now.”

While Melissa never got justice, she urgesmothers to protect their children.

“Rapists aren’t people who follow youfrom train stations or grab you in dark al-leys. Sometimes they are the people sittingopposite you at the dinner table.”V Contact Rape Crisis on (021) 447 9762 or email in[email protected] Share your views by SMSing the word “Post” followed by your comment to 32516.

York Street residents have reached theend of their rope with a fire-damaged,

rotting building and its tenants casting apall over their community.They’ve tried picketing but with no suc-

cess. Now they are planning to bring thebuilding to the attention of Mayor Patriciade Lille and Dan Plato, the provincial minis-ter of community safety.“Nothing has materialised. No one has

been evicted. A lot was promised, but therehas been no communication,” says ShamielAbbass, chairperson for the WoodstockCommunity Outreach Forum.“We’ve done everything we can from our

side for the last year and a half,” he adds.Richard Bosman, the City of Cape Town’s

executive director of safety and security,says the site has been declared a problembuilding and is being monitored.“The owner is deceased. The Problem

Buildings Unit is attending to the issue,” hesays.Bosman did not elaborate what steps were

being taken to secure the site.

The residents gathered three weeks ago toprotest the illegal occupancy of the house.They say they have beenwaiting for years

to have the illegal occupants removed andthe eyesore refurbished.“How long is it going to take before some-

one takes action?” asks despondent Yorkstreet resident Jenny George.She says residents feel unsafe with this

problem building and are aghast at how theproperty has decayed.“A young lady almost got hijacked, but af-

ter the failed attempt the suspect ran intothat building,” claimsGeorge. “There is alsodrug use taking place.”The building, which was gutted in a fire

a few years ago, is only partially covered byrusting roof sheets. Thewalls are blackwithsoot and crumbling in parts.“It’s unsafe to go inside. You don’t know

when that ceiling will fall in,” George says.Neighbour Aziza Toefy was also fuming

about the derelict building.“There are so many unfamiliar faces, peo-

ple walking in and out. You don’t even knowhow many people are in there. There is notoilet, no water, no roof and no floors,” she

says. “And there are children living in thoseconditions!”Toefy also alleges that there is drug use

taking place in the house, and suspects pros-titution as well.Denver Arendse, who lives in the house,

says they have no electricity but have waterfrom an outside tap.He says most of the seven adults living in

the house are unemployed and have no-where else to live.He also says drug use takes place in the

house.“They are smoking drugs, but there are no

criminals living here. I step in when I see

things are too much, but you can’t keep peo-ple from coming in and out to visit,” he says.Arendse confirms that two of the four chil-

dren living in the house are not attendingschool.Lungiswa James, the Mayoral Committee

member for Health, says the City’s Depart-ment ofHealth has visited the site onnumer-ous occasions.“There is a potable water supply and a toi-

let on the premises. Pest control serviceshave been provided and there in ongoing en-gagement with the City’s Department of Sol-id Waste Management to clear refuse asneeded,” she says.

Thousands of rands worth of illegal ciga-rettes are regularly transported acrossSouthAfrican borders to theWesternCapeand the Mother City.Provincial traffic chief Kenny Africa

says this phenomenon is on the increaseand they are stopping more and more peo-ple transporting illegal cigarettes on main

routes. Last Thursday the provincial Traf-fic Department and the police seized140 000 cigarettes with a street value ofR160 000. The man transporting the ciga-rettes was arrested. “He was stopped andarrested at a road block about 5km outsideWorcester. Itwas different cigarettes of dif-ferent brands,” Africa said.Transporting illicit cigarettes is on the

rise in this province, he insisted.

“We are arresting more people for thepossession of illegal cigarettes, mostly onour main routes – the N1, N2 and N7.”He said the previous big haul was netted

when traffic officials confiscated R1.1mworth of illegal cigarettes on the N7 nearMorreesburg at the end of June.The South African Tobacco Institute

said in a statement the confiscated ciga-rettes includes Chicago and Manchester

cigarettes.According to the statement the trade in

illicit cigarettes in the Western Cape hasdramatically increased since 2010.“Research by an independent agency

found that 28% of the cigarettes sold in theprovince is illegal.”It says many illicit cigarettes are trans-

ported here via Zimbabwe, while largenumbers are also produced locally.

She loves Cape Town so much that shenever wants to leave, says the woman

nowat the helmofGroote SchuurHospital.Dr Bhavna Patel, a specialist in family

medicine and public health, was appointedas CEO of the hospital, which turns 75 thisyear.Patel heads the 3700-strong staff.About 20 000 operations areperformed in

25 theatres and 45 000 people are treated atthe hospital each year.It also has 200 clinics and 350 000 outpa-

tients.Provincial health minister Theuns

Botha announced Patel’s appointment lastweek in the same old building and not farfrom where Professor Chris Barnard per-formed the first heart transplant on 3 De-

cember 1967.“It is one thing to manage a hospital, but

quite another to lead a world icon such asGroote Schuur. Dr Patel is absolutely suit-ed for the position. One of the biggest chal-lenges is to provide the best possible serv-ice for a growingpopulation,with the samefinancial resources,” Botha says.Patel says: “We still do heart, as well as

kidney, lung and bone marrow trans-plants.”The hospital has a budget of R1.8bn and

Patel hopes to introduce more innovativetechnology and procedures, as well as tocontinue conducting research.Patel was the hospital’s senior medical

services manager for five years before be-comingGroote Schuur’s chief operating of-ficer in 2011.After specialising in family medicine,

she was in private practice in Rylands for10 years.“I was born and bred in Cape Town and

have two children at high school,” shesays.To relax she enjoys artistic endeavours.And, yes, she can speak Afrikaans.

. Two other women who left deep im-pressions at the hospital are Dr Hannah-Reeve Sanders, who in 1976 was the firstwoman in the country to be made chiefmedical superintendent of the hospital. DrJocelyne Kane-Berman took over from herin 1986.

YUMMY:YUMMY: Westerners often wonder why Mus-lims break their daytime fast with dates dur-ing the month of Ramadaan. Muslims’ lovefor this sugary fruit not only lies in the in-struction of the Messenger of Allah, but alsoin its nutritional value, as it is digested slow-er than other foods. It is believed the Proph-et Muhammad (PBUH) advised his follow-ers to break their fast with dates or water.Hadeeth literature illustrates how he brokehis fast with dates, before saying his prayers.Praying between eating dates and the mainmeal gives the body time to metabolise.Dates and water kick-starts the body’s di-gestive processes which have been inactiveall day. The natural sugar travels to the liver,where it is converted into energy faster thanany other nutrient. Carbohydrates in datesare digested slower than those in otherfoods.

A site earmarked for housing is insteadbeing turned into ahome for petty crim-

inals.Business owners inMaitland say the over-

grown bushes and trees on the site along therailway line off Kensington Road providecover for a host of illegal activities.Maitland CID manager Ralph van der

Brock says the field is a tangledmess of over-grown trees and bushes – ideal cover forcriminals.“The suspects steal cables from the neigh-

bouring Grindrod container depot and canthen hide and burn the cables down at theirleisure. Drug abuse is also taking placethere.”Denver Varrie, who works in the security

department at Grindrod, says the field is anightmare for the company.“The field backs onto our property and the

guys just jump over the fence. They steal thecables from the refrigerator containers. Theplot is covered in trees andbusheswhich thesuspects hide between. They steal around200 cables a month.”This adds up to several hundred thou-

sands in loss.Another business owner near the field,

who asked not to be named, says she had nothad any run-ins with vagrants or criminalson the site.“But several residents have complained to

me about vagrants on the field,” she says.

Ward councillor Dereck America says theCity of Cape Town is not responsible for thetract of land as it is owned by the provincialDepartment of Transport and Public Works.The site is earmarked for a housing project,confirms the department's spokesperson Al-Ameen Kafaar. “The Western Cape Depart-ment of Transport and Public Works is cur-

rently responsible for the maintenance ofthe vacant portion of erf 25166 in Maitland,”he says. “The department will attend to thecutting and clearing of the vegetation on thisportion. No security service has been de-ployed and the property is fenced. The dis-posal of the vacant portion of the propertyis under way in terms of the required ap-

proval process.”Despite the complaints, Maitland police

were unable to confirm any criminal activi-ties at the site.

A non-profit organisation is fightinggangsterism and drugs abuse, not by

targeting children, but by teaching theirparents.The Proud2B Me programme, run by the

Proud2B Foundation, focuses on develop-ing parenting skills to create a support sys-tem for children and developing communi-ties.“Communities are often dysfunctional

and people have lost touch with taking re-sponsibility,” says Nadia Thonnard, themanager of the Salt River-based organisa-tion. “Parents often transfer their respon-sibility to teachers. This has a huge impacton children. They feel they aren’t beingheard and engage in damaging behavioursuch as gangsterism or drug addiction.”But the parenting skills workshops of-

fered by Proud2B aim to change that.After years of research, Proud2B com-

piled a course designed to engage children,teachers and parents.“If we want to strengthen our families,

communities and schools, we need to lookat guiding the positive transformation offamilies, communities and schools and notjust the individual. The Proud2B Me pro-gramme therefore teaches families andcommunities to speak the same language ofpositive change.The evidencewehave expe-rienced is that families and communitiesgrow together because they talk together,”she says.Social worker Letichia Swartz completed

the course last year and enthuses about theimmediate changes in her home.“It’s had a fantastic impact on my life. I

now believe that everything starts withme,” she says. “My children respond differ-

ently to me now.”Swartz says not only has her family life

improved, but her professional relation-ships with the community has progressed.“I’ve got a powerful tool to measure

parenting skills now and to see if familiesare healthy,” she says.The course aims to help parents and chil-

dren reconnect in a positive way, throughteaching parents about their role and re-sponsibilities, self-esteem and affirmationat home, effective communication, valuesand discipline.Although the focus is on teaching parent-

The battle to purgethe drug scourge in

a crime-ridden commu-nity is tipping in favourof residents.Lower Woodstock lo-

cals believe they arewinning the war ondrugs, saying there hasbeen a decrease in drug-related activity.Some attribute the

cleaner streets to a se-ries of drug raids car-ried out by police.Lastweek,Woodstock

police arrested two menin Wright Street afterfinding drugs on thepremises.A search of a house in Cornwall

Street also resulted in two arrests.Woodstock police spokesperson

Sergeant Hilton Malila says thenumber of raids increased the lastmonth thanks to tip-offs.“The number of arrest at drug out-

lets in theprecinct is on thedecreaseand we have managed to close someof the outlets. There is definitely adownward trend in drug peddling inthe precinct compared to last year,”Malila says.Greatmore Street resident Nazier

Toyer credits police raids for the dipin drug offences.

“There used to be a few peoplewho looked like they were sellingdrugs. No charges had been made,but that’s what the residents sus-pected. Parents were worried tosend their children to the shop atnight because of it,” he says.However, the last few weeks have

brought less activity, a relieved Toy-er says.“The streets seemed to have

cleared. I think it’s related to the po-lice raids. However, I think the areaneeds more police visibility.”Malila says Greatmore Street is

on Woodstock police’s pressure list.

“The area was pointedout by the residents as ahotspot for drug-dealingactivities.Wealso identi-fied a suspected drughouse in Oxford Street,which was raided andthe activities stoppedwith immediate effect.We will continue to con-centrate on the area tocurb any illegal activi-ties.”Another Woodstock

resident, speaking oncondition of anonymity,says she has noticed lesssuspicions behaviour inher area, but credits thisto the sale of a problembuilding in Oxford Road.“All of Woodstock is

filled with drug dealing, especiallyOxford Street andArgyle Street. I’veeven heard that the drug dealers aretipped off as to when the police willraid,” the enraged woman says.Shamiel Abbass, chairperson of

the Woodstock Community Out-reach Forum, says he has noticedless drug dealing taking place.“I’ve checked on hotspots three

times and found the streets areclear. There are police vehicles onpatrol and it has made a big differ-ence,” he says.“We’re really glad it has been

nipped in the bud.”

Poor sight is one of the mainreasons children struggle to

read.This, coupled with children

not learning in their mothertongue, are more reasons theystruggle at school, said MauritaWeissenberg, director of theShine Literacy Programme.She said children should not

see a book for the first time onthe first day of their school ca-reers. “Children must be ex-posed to at least 300 books at anearlier stage. If this does nothappen, children will strugglewith literacy,” Weissenberg ex-plained.The programme was started

by Weissenberg in 2000, aftershe, as a remedial teacher, real-ised children need help with lit-eracy.Support, in terms of literature

and language skills, are provid-ed to disadvantaged children inGrades 1 to 3. “We identified aneed by some children in ourreading and literature pro-gramme,” she said.Since the establishment of the

programme it was found thatnearly 60% of the close to 5000

participating children are notliterate.The fact that English is not

their first language when theycommence school is one of thereasons why pupils have litera-cy problems from Grade 1.Sight is another problem, as

parents cannot afford to havetheir children’s eyes tested.To eliminate poor vision as a

stumbling block, the organisa-tion has had the eyes of close to600 children tested for free.About 10% of the pupils re-

ceived spectacles.Brevan Robinson of Muller

Optometrists has been involvedin this initiative for the lastthree years.Simbongile Zulu (8) from

Prestwich Street PrimarySchool in Cape Town was one ofthe beneficiaries. “Now I can seeletters of the alphabet, numbersand words better. I like my newspectacles,” he said.Divinity Toll (9) is another pu-

pil of the school who, throughthe project, has anewoutlook onliteracy. “In the beginning Istruggled a bit. My spectacleshelp me to see and read better.Now I can see words clearer,”she said.

National protests are making a renewedcall for tertiary studies to bemade freely

available.If there was no cost to higher education,

would it lead to more skilled workers orwould it be a drain on the State coffers, espe-cially if students fail?People’s Post polled readers about this hot-

button topic.

MICHAEL JMICHAEL JANSENANSEN says the smart move would beto create more jobs instead of granting free terti-ary education. “Free studies probably won’t work.You’ll have a lot of people with the same qualifi-cations – where will everyone work if there aren’tmore jobs?” he asks.

PHUMLAPHUMLA MFUMBEMFUMBESISI strongly supports this ideaand says free tertiary education would be a bless-ing to cash-strapped youth. “I would love to studytourism but my parents are unable to pay for it.I can’t afford it either. If higher education was freemore people would be able to fulfil their dreams.”

DDAMIANAMIAN KRIGEKRIGE feels education should be availa-ble to anyone who is dedicated enough to makea success of their life. “If someone is willing to(study) they should be given the opportunity. In-stitutions should look at the person’s history tohelp them determine if they should qualify.”

CLIFFCLIFF NDLELANDLELA says affordable tertiary educationwould be a better idea as people would have topay back the money loaned to cover their fees.“To help people be serious and dedicated theyshould refund the money once they start working.This is a way of ensuring that people pass.”

RROCHELLEOCHELLE SHANNONSHANNON believes many peoplewould appreciate the opportunity as it can onlyhelp them succeed. “Even though I’ve been work-ing for a long time, I would have liked to studyfurther. There aren’t enough bursaries availableand not everyone can afford it.”

NATNATALIE DU TALIE DU TOITOIT feels such an initiative wouldbe a move in the right direction. She believes terti-ary education will help many who can only dreamof an improved life as university fees are steep.“There are so many talented people, but not allcan get the jobs without the qualification.”

KERKERWINWIN LIEDEMANLIEDEMAN says if tertiary education isfree, the standard of secondary education has tobe raised. “Free tertiary education is a good idea,but there would have to be strict admissionstandards and that means the level of high schooleducation would also need to be improved.”

Karate kid crowned world champLIAM MOSES

A young Zeekoevlei karateka has made histo-ry by becoming the first South African to wina World Karate Federation (WKF) juniorevent.

Schean Marais (13) won a gold medal in theheavyweight kumite at the WKF YouthWorld Cup in Corfu, Greece earlier thismonth.

Marais says he went into the tournamentexpecting to fail, but built up confidence witheach fight he won.

“The first fight was against someone fromSA, but I had already beaten him in SA so Ididn’t really think much of the victory. Istarted getting more confident after I won theother fights,” he says.

In the final, the Constantia Waldorf pupilfaced an opponent from Russia – a karate su-perpower ranked seventh in the world.

“It was three-all with one second to go inthe final, but I had more warnings so if it end-ed in a draw the referees would have votedfor him. I thought I was going to lose, but Ididn’t want to. I knew I had to win. He camein with a kick, but I punched him and won,”says Marais.

The newly crowned world champion hasbeen practising karate since the age of sevenand has shown heaps of talent and determina-tion since taking up the sport.

Marais trains every day of the week, exceptFridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Sensei Dylan Hammargren, owner of theLakeside Samurai Dojo, describes his prote-ge’s victory is an “incredible achievement”.

“He is the only South African who has everwon a gold medal at a WKF junior event. SAhad a team of 30 people at the tournament andalmost everyone lost their first fight,” hesays.

“The competition level is very high. SAdoesn’t do well at WKF internationals. Whenyou are competing against countries thattake karate a lot more seriously, it’s very dif-

ficult. Our athletes don’t get as much expo-sure, so they are not geared to competeagainst those big countries. Almost 80% ofthe time they will go out without even scor-ing a single point. They lose within 40 sec-onds, so they, literally, don’t last one round.”

SA also won two bronze medals at the tour-nament, which saw 30 countries do battle.

Hammargren says Marais gives SA “hope”of winning their first medal at World Cadetand Junior Championships in 2014.

“Karate is his number one sport. He is atalented soccer player as well; he played forSantos but he’s had to stop that,” says Ham-margren.

“A lot of youngsters may be talented, butwithout absolute dedication they are not suc-cessful. You have to train every day, you haveto be in the gym every day and you have towatch what you eat.”

Marais shares his sensei’s dream of liftinggold again next year.

Fish Hoek’s nationalstars ready for battleLIAM MOSES

Two of Fish Hoek Squash Club’s (FH-SC) top players will aim to continuetheir winning streak in the South

African Championships next week.Steve Coppinger and Rodney Durbach

have been on form and had a measureof success at local, national and interna-tional level over the last two months.

The pair were also part of the SA teamthat finished sixth – a place ahead oftheir seeding – at the Men’s World TeamChampionships in France in June.

Coppinger took part in the Champion-ships for the fourth time and says the re-sult is one of SA’s best achievements inthe international arena.

“We had a very successful week andhad some great wins. This year some ofthe wins were expected, which meansthe pressure was on us to get the result,”he says.

“We had a great tournament fouryears ago, where we seeded 11th and alsofinished sixth. That was very differentbecause everything was exciting andnew, and we were the underdogs in eve-rymatch.Thisyearwasdifferentbut thewhole team played well in each match.”

Coppinger will go into the SA Champi-onships ranked number one in the coun-try and 16th on the world squash tour.

The Simon’s Town resident repre-sents KwaZulu Natal in provincial com-petitions and recently lost out to Dur-bach’s Western Province in the final ofthe Jarvis Cup inter-provincial tourna-ment in Port Elizabeth this month.

Durbach, the club professional, sayshis recent successes give him a definiteedge going into the SA Championships.

“It gives you a huge boost psychologi-cally. You are on a winning streak, soyou just want to continue,” he says.

“Our Fish Hoek league side is alsowinning the First League. It’s had a realmomentum effect on everything that weare doing, individually and as a club.”

Durbach, from Muizenberg, is one ofthe most seasoned players in SA, with18 years and a record number of caps un-der his belt. He participated in the WorldTeam Championships for the eighthtime this year and is currently rankedfourth in SA.

The SA Championships will be Cop-pinger’s last major tournament in South

Africa before heading back oversees forthe start of the world squash tour in Sep-tember.

He recently had the biggest success ofhis professional career when he made itto the quarter-finals of the Tournamentof Champions in New York in January.

The 28-year-old says he hopes to wintheSAChampionships for the sixth timeand carry the momentum into the inter-national season.

“The next few years will be crucial forme. I just want to keep on improving.I’ve had a very steady rate of improve-ment over the last four years or so. If Ican keep that up, I will be very happy,”says Coppinger.

“I’m looking to finish strong and itwill set me up nicely for the start of theprofessional season.”

The SA Championships will takeplace in Johannesburg from Monday 5to Saturday 10 August.

SPORTNew broomaims for PSLpromotionLIAM MOSES

Santos will win the National First Di-vision (NFD) and gain promotion tothe Premier Soccer League (PSL)

this year, if they can find the right men-tality.

That is the belief of former People’sTeam striker David Notoane, who wasappointed head coach earlier thismonth.

Notoane took over from Ian Palmer,who joined at the halfway mark of the2012/2013 season and lead the club to sec-ond place on the table and a spot in thepromotion/relegation play-offs.

“A mental shift is a big necessity. Wecame from the PSL and, in the begin-ning, we still did things and played as aPSL team,” says Notoane.

“We are going into the second seasonin the NFD so the reality is that we arean NFD team, even though – in terms ofhistory and quality – we are a PSL team.We have to approach things as an NFDteam.

“We have to work as hard as we canand slog it out to get into the PSL. Thethinking of Santos as a PSL team needsto change and the players need to under-stand that.”

Santos got off to a poor start last sea-son and although the team improvedvastly after Palmer’s appointment, in-consistency still played a major role in

the failure to bounce back to the PSL.The Lansdowne based club won 13

games, drew 10 and lost five.In the off season the club has played

several friendlies, with the aim of build-ing on the improved performances in thesecond half of last season.

Notoane says they are attempting tosign a forward and left and right mid-fielders, after Jonathan Armogam andGraham King’s contracts expired.

While the quality of Santos’ signingswill be under scrutiny, the new mentorbelieves a “winning mentality” is moreimportant to helping his side develop theconsistency needed to win the title thisseason.

“We have the quality and we have theright balance between experience andyouth to challenge for honours,” he says.

“I am working very hard to bring thebest out of the players. Even the youngboys have great ability. We just have toturn it on and play with a certain degreeof self-expression within the culture ofdeveloping a winning mentality and atti-tude.”

“We came close last season, so this sea-son we have to go one better.

“The buzz words are ‘consistency’ and‘winning mentality’.”

The fixtures for the NFD season havenot been released as yet, but Notoanehopes to get off to a “good start” regard-less of who they face.
