ANGRY Maitland residents fear fortheir children’s safety owing to the

large amount of free-roaming dogs causinghavoc as they “rule the streets”.

Several have already lodged complaints withthe City of Cape Town’s Law EnforcementUnit, who told the locals that the dogs wouldbe removed.

In December last year, Soraya Khan wasmobbed by a group of dogs, and escaped withone bite mark to the back of her leg.

On Thursday, Khan’s dog was attackedthrough the fence of her home by the same dogsthat mauled her a few months ago.

“Law Enforcement said that they would re-move the dogs, but shockingly, the same dogsare seen running around the area, terrorisingeverybody, including the children,” saysKhan, who believes the dogs’ owners are fromRailway Street.

Albert Adams, another concerned resident,explains that he entered Railway Street on hisway home in February when two dogs camerunning down the road.

Adams initially thought the mutts werechasing a cat, but as the duo drew nearer herealised they were charging at him.

“I just ran and eventually found a wall highenough to jump on to avoid being attacked. Butthen the dogs tried to jump onto the wall! This

was the first time I had ever experienced beingchased,” Adams laughs, but stresses that ifan injury did occur, the matter would not havebeen funny at all.

Emotional trauma was not the only thing heescaped with – the dogs had managed to sinktheir teeth into the pants he was wearing.

A shop owner, who asks to remain anony-mous, has several dogs running in and out ofhis business, scaring off customers and creat-ing problems in the area.

“Having a dangerous dog on the loose couldprove fatal. Only then will Law Enforcementdo something about the problem,” he says.

The businessman adds that last year a dogattacked one of his customers after he left thestore.

While the shopper escaped unscathed, hecould only watch as the dog wolfed down thecold meat he had purchased.

“It’s not right that this is happening. Wehave many children playing outside, but theydisappear when they see dogs on the loose.Something must be done,” he says.

Lamees Isaacs, the spokesperson for theSPCA, explains that according to the City ofCape Town’s animal bylaw, no dog is allowedin a public area “unless it’s under direct con-trol of its owner”.

“The bylaws are enforced by the City’s LawEnforcement and the SPCA does not have themandate to enforce it,” says Isaacs.

The SPCA would rather focus on the Ani-mals Protection Act that deals with the welfareof animals.

“If we are provided with the address, we candispatch an SPCA inspector to investigate thesituation, welfare and living conditions of theanimals,” says Isaacs.

Richard Bosman, the director for Safety andSecurity for the City of Cape Town, says LawEnforcement is regularly confronted with theproblem of stray animals in Cape Town.

“Under suchcircumstances, theanimalswillbe impounded under the animal bylaw as strayanimals,” says Bosman.

He confirmed that his department had al-ready impounded 13 dogs found in the Mait-land Cemetery area during the festive season.

Residents are encouraged to report stray ani-mals to the City’s Animal Control Unit on 080022 5669.

People’s Post WoodstockMaitland NEWS Tuesday 27 March 2012

FROM today, we will be runninga weekly column entitled “Con-nectED” by People’s Post EditorFeroza Miller-Isaacs.

Dear reader,I have been in the Editor’s seat for

eight months – two months as Act-ing Ed (couldn’t have been more re-al!) and six months as Editor.

It has been a humbling and en-riching experience, one my journal-istic career of nearly two decadeshas certainly helped prepare mefor.

Though experienced in news-room management, being Editorhasgivenmea360degree lookat thebusiness of news in an organisationas vast and visionary as Media24.

I have had the privilege and hon-our of engaging with people from all

walks of life – from Athlone toCamps Bay, from Retreat to FishHoek.

Just this weekend I rubbed shoul-ders with Cape Town’s celebrities,shaking hands with our graciousMayor, Patricia de Lille, sharing abalcony with Top Billing presenterMichael Mol and his family, beingassured by Mayco member of Safetyand Security JP Smith that the hotfiremen who led the Cape TownCarnival parade on Saturday werereal firemen.

The carnival was truly spectacu-lar, reflecting the diversity and cul-tural wealth of the people under theAfrican sun.

Among my memorable experi-ences over the past eight monthswere watching entertainer JaysonKing doing Elvis at the JosephStone auditorium, as if he weren’t

a day over 20, and laughing rau-cously at Fish Hoek High School as“motormouth” Barry Hilton enter-tained during a fundraising eventfor Shark Spotters.

I’ve been wined (non-alcoholical-ly) and dined at some of the best res-taurants, treated to fine entertain-ment, met many inspirational peo-ple, met people just like me, beentouched by the stories we run eachweek, been moved by the emailsfrom readers pouring out theirhearts to me.

The most rewarding part of myjob is the privilege, opportunity andability we have, through our sto-ries, to influence positive changeand movement; when our storiesmake tangible differences in peo-ple’s lives, when organisationssuch as Loaves and Fishes arethrown lifelines by the generous

communities we serve, saving theday for them and the many home-less and otherwise hopeless soulswho depend on them.

This makes the long hours, week-endworkanddeadlines all themoreworthwhile.

In addition to publishing 10 zonededitions each week, which are dis-tributed to close to 320 000 homes inthe southern suburbs, People’s Postalso launched its website in August(www.peoplespost.co.za) and mo-bisite (ppost.mobi) shortly after-wards.

I look forward to engaging withyou through my column and inviteyou to connect with me directly [email protected].

Please send me suggestions of thetype of stories you’d like to see inyour edition of People’s Post.

Till next time, go well!

THE heatwave has been almostenough to make one believe in glo-bal warming. Then, just when youthink the “greenies” are right, youturn on the TV and see the biggestfreeze in Europe for decades.

From this you will gather that Ihave my doubts about climate sci-entists. I also have problems withweather predictions, served up onall the electronic media.

This business of a 30% or 60%chance of rain is weird. Why do wenever have a 50% or an 80%chance of rain?

Weather forecasters have anabundance of information fromsatellites but they still get itwrong. One suspects that thewhole job is turned over to com-puters which tell us that the tem-

perature in Paarl will peak at pre-cisely 37 degrees C . Wonderful,but how can they know the precisetemperature at any given locationand still be sovagueabout the real-ly important things like rain?

The heatwave also tells us im-portant things about the way welive. In these informal times mostof us have shed a layer of under-garments and things like jacketswith collars and ties are on theway out.

Now we wear baseball caps andwalk around in a state of semi-un-dress at weekends. Any Arab fromone of the desert tribes would tellus that we are mad and the onlyway to cope with real heat is tocover up and keep it out.

Our complete failure to under-stand that can be seen in the waywe build houses. All those big win-

dows and, worst of all, black roofs!Solar water heaters have taught

us just how effective the colourblack is at absorbing the radiationfrom the sun. A one-square metreblack panel can provide hot waterfor a family so you can imaginehow much heat is absorbed by awhole roof.

We try to deal with the problemby installing layers of insulationabove the ceiling but all this doesis trap the heat in the roof spacewhere it builds up, drying out thetimber and causing maximum ex-pansion and contraction.

A black cover over a confinedandwell insulated space is thewayto make a solar oven! All roofsshould be painted white becausewhite reflects both light and heat,making it much easier to deal withthe heat that does manage to pene-

trate. It is obvious, as any desertArab will tell you.

If the “greenies” jumped ontothis bandwagon they might savethe planet. Just imagine howmuch less electrity would be usedby reducing the demand for airconditioning.

We would all become nicer peo-ple if we lived in cooler homes.Productivity would increase. Kidsstudying for final exams in sum-mer would get better marks. Wewould all become, cooler, wiser,saner and more productive.

All the “greenies” have to do isban black, red, grey and greenroofs in hot countries and theywill change the world. All roofsshould be white, preferably ce-ramic white, so that they becomeheat shields to keep out the solarradiation.

Heatwaves and why white has got to be the new green

AN application for a liquor licence inDrommedaris Street in Facreton has beensubmitted, stirring up heated emotionsfrom the surrounding community.

Some residents believe the ar-ea is already in a bad state andthe application would just“make matters worse”.

Aresident living in closeprox-imity to the proposed site of theapplication chose to remainanonymous but shared hisstrong views, saying: “Thatspells trouble, because we al-ready have a problem withdrunken people in this commu-nity. Now there is an opportuni-ty to double that amount andturn this place into the WildWest.”

Anthea Jacobs felt the areawas “beyond repair”, addingthat another liquor premiseswould not change the situation.

She added that the number of drunken peo-ple were already high and due to the numberof poverty stricken families, substance abusewould “always come out tops”.

“You don’t like to see stuff like this, but someof the people around here have accepted thissituation. If we object to that application, whosays another one won’t pop up somewhere elseand be approved. So it’s pointless wasting ourtime and objecting to something that is alreadya major problem within our community,” she

says.Mariam Oliver, a community

worker for Community Outreachand the secretary for the Ken-sington and Facreton Ratepay-ers’ Association, was quick tomention that the organisations“would not approve such an ap-plication”.

“We are aware that these sortsof applications would cause de-struction within a communitysuch as Facreton, that is why weare strongly against it,” says Ol-iver.

She confirmed that the organi-sations would now follow theprocess of forwarding the appli-cation through to the various

mosques, churches and other organisationswithin the area.

“The community is starting to look like awinelands already, and the people should notbe willing to accept these sorts of applications.They must decline,” Oliver encouraged thecommunity.

Residents and organisations have the oppor-tunity to submit their objections to the LiquorBoard or Sergeant Stemmet at the KensingtonPolice Station, in writing, before 31 March.

IN THE MOVES: Never ignore your gut feeling – this is the slogan “Be Cancer Aware”was promoting when they recently took their campaign to the V&A Waterfront. To drawattention to the event, which forms part of colorectal cancer month, the organisationcalled on the Waterfront Theatre School to help, which resulted in fifty dancers participating in a flash mob dance to the beat of the popular track ‘I’m sexy and I know it’.The dancers randomly appeared at the Market Plaza and started dancing, while a voiceover informed shoppers of the important month. Thereafter, the group simply disappearedinto the crowd. Photo: Supplied

VIOLET GEORGE from Wood-stock has been honoured by

having her daily walking routenamed after her.

“Violet’s Walk” was recently offi-cially opened and celebrated by alarge crowd that came to support

the charming 89-year-old.She has lived in the area for the

past 30 years and takes a walk eve-ryday to get some fresh air and keepfit. “I enjoy walking because I’mused to it. When I was younger Iused to walk from one bus stationto the next if it had not yet arrived.I didn’t like waiting for it and Ididn’t mind the walk,” says George,

smiling.A widow for the last eighteen

years and living with her eldestdaughter, George explains that af-ter making her bed in the morningand having breakfast, there’s notmuch left to do as her daughtertakes care of the household.

A walk, which she takes three tofour times a day, is a nice way topass the time.

“Everyone is used to seeing megoing about my daily stroll. I don’tfeel unsafe or anythingbecause eve-ryone knows me and I speak to eve-ryone. There was one gentleman inparticular that always used to stopme during my walks to have a chat.One day he said he was going to stopdriving so much and walk more likeme. Now he walks further andgreater distances than I do. He’s gotyounger legs than mine, of course!”exclaims George.

When asked how she felt aboutthe people of Woodstock erectingbenches in her honour, she ex-plains that it serves a better pur-pose than solely for her conven-ience. “These beautiful bencheshave my name on it but it does notgo to my head. I think they mightbe using me as an example to en-courage more people to walk. Myage is on there so I take it when peo-ple see how old I am and that I’mstill walking daily they might be in-spired to get their hearts pumpingas well. If that is the case, I don’tmind serving as an example,” saysa smiling Violet.

Take a stroll down Violet’s Walkand enjoy a seat on one of the tenbenches erected in streets such asFairview Avenue, Kitchener Streetand Salisbury Street.

AFTER experiencing a period offinancial difficulty, the MarionInstitute might be seeing light atthe end of the tunnel

Recently on the verge of closure,the institute set off on a mission toraise funds, hosting several eventsand functions with the aim of keep-ing the institute afloat.

The institute, which is a non-prof-it organisation, was established byan Anglican Sister in District Six asa club offering singing and dancingat night to provide an alternative tostreet life.

Nigel Scheepers, chairperson forthe institute’s general committee,added that the core business of theinstitute was to focus on early child-hood development. “The aim of theinstitute is to work hard at commu-nity participation and develop-ment, which is why this instituteplays such an important role withinthe area,” says Scheepers.

He explained that the institutestruggled to fund important com-munity projects due to a lack of in-terest shown by corporates.

“There is always light at the endof the tunnel and we decided thatthis year we are going to tighten thebelt and not spend unnecessarymoney,” says Scheepers.

Residents around the institutefelt that its establishment played animportant role within the area, es-pecially with regard to the “lowcosting” Marion Institute NurserySchool.

Wilma James, a resident in the

area, has two of her children in theday care, as well as a child attend-ing the after care service.

James is currently the breadwin-ner in her home, which forces herto work unusual hours throughoutthe day and night. “I feel comforta-ble knowing there is a place I cansend my children to, which is af-fordable and convenient. If this daycare were to close down, I wouldhave a problem,” says James.

Another local, Ebrahiem Samp-

“I feel comfortable sending mydaughter to the Marion, because it’sclose to home and I know there isalways somebody that can collecther. The day care service is reallycheap and something I am able toafford.”

MARITA MEYER

WHEN I told my friends I was seeing anosteopath for a muscle injury, hardly anyof them knew what I was talking about.They’re not alone – most South Africansfall in this category.

Fact is, osteopathy, a “hands-on” manualtherapy, has been around since the 1870s (be-fore chiropractic and physiotherapy), but inSouth Africa it’s still relatively unknown.

According to Dr Guy Ashburner, there areonly fifty registered osteopaths in South Afri-ca, compared to a figure of more than 5 000in the United Kingdom.

Guy runs an osteopathic clinic in Constan-tia and patients come from all over the Penin-sula to get treatment for a wide range of pro-

blems which include back pain, disc injuries,pain in the neck, sciatica, trapped nerves, he-adaches, joint and muscle pain, symptoms ofarthritis, sport-related injuries, fibromyal-gia, pain during pregnancy, infantile colic, ir-ritable babies as well as latching and suck-ling difficulties.

According to Guy, osteopathy is not the sa-me as chiropractice or physiotherapy. “Oste-opaths take into account not only physicalsymptoms, but also the patient’s lifestyle andattitudes, as well as his or her overall health,effectively treating the patient as a whole.The osteopath considers physical, environ-mental and stress factors simultaneously,whereas the general medical practitionerwould usually treat these factors individual-ly and in isolation from each other.”

Osteopaths, chiropractors and physiothe-

rapists treat the same con-ditions with different ap-proaches. “If you’re thin-king you may need to seea chiropractor or physio-therapist, then seeing anosteopath is suitable. Ma-ny of our patients have se-en a vast array of thera-pists and prefer our holis-tic osteopathic approach.”

While chiropractorstend to be very focused ona range of techniques formanipulation of the spine,osteopaths do not manipu-late (click) a joint the waychiropractors do.

“We make use of a wider range of techni-ques for the whole body. Apart from manipu-lation, osteopaths use other techniques suchas stretches, massage and gentle release tech-niques (cranial osteopathy) without any ‘clic-king’ of the joints.”

Guy believes this “hands-on” therapy canhelp restore the normal mobility of the mus-culoskeletal system which in turn improvesthe function of the nervous, circulatory andimmune systems and allows faster healing,reducing pain, congestion and restrictionwithin the body. “By paying attention to thesignificance of any alteration in structure orfunction (the joints, muscles, ligaments, bo-nes and connective tissue), an osteopath isable to interpret whole patterns of aches,pains and general health problems.

“If you suffer from headaches, for example,it could be the final symptom of lower-backor foot-related problems. If you have a kneeinjury, an osteopath will assess whether the-re may be any involvement of other areaswith a mechanical relationship to the knee,such as the foot, hip, lower back and pelvis,and the associated soft tissues,” explainsGuy.

It’s all about treating the underlying cau-ses. Guy studied at the British School of Oste-opathy in the United Kingdom and also hasa post-graduate diploma in paediatric osteo-pathy. He emigrated to South Africa in 2006,after which he opened his clinic, Osteopathy

Cape Town.He is passionate about correct posture and

appropriate exercise and goes as far as sayingthat if no one had bad posture, most medicalpractitioners would be without a job. “Goodposture is the cornerstone of good health,”says Guy. “It’s so basic – if it’s moving, it’sworking. A lack of mobility to a greater of les-ser degree will contribute to many medicalconditions. The more movement, the betteryour body works, that’s nature. It’s all aboutkeeping it simple.”

The first consultation with an osteopathwill include a detailed case history leading toa patient’s present symptoms. A physical exa-mination is then conducted to evaluate thebody’s biomechanics (structure, posture andphysical movements). “Subsequent manualtherapy will range from very subtle techni-ques used for babies, to more robust methodsapplied to athletes. Some of these include gen-tle releasing, joint articulation and manipu-lation, muscle stretching, rhythmic joint mo-vements, soft tissue massage, trigger pointtherapy and lymphatic drainage,” explainsGuy.

The number of visits will depend on the se-verity and duration of the illness or injuryandcanrange frombetween two to six consul-tations. Consultation time ranges from 45 to60 minutes.

Kensington Shopping Centre

TAURIQ HASSEN

THE NEWLY renovated Kensington Shop-ping Centre is growing by the day, withmanagement working hard to maintaintheir status as the area’s number oneshopping complex.

With new owners at the helm, the centrehas seen changes to the lighting, flooring,glass doors and general appearance, withwork on the new signage being wrapped up.

A fresh coat of paint has also given the cen-tre a brighter appearance.

The new look should be complete by the endof May.

Soraya Khan, centre manager, also high-lighted the brand new palisade fencing thathad been erected around the entire centre forsafety purposes.

“We managed to get most of the bad ele-ments out of the centre and we have createda much better and safer shopping environ-ment for all to enjoy,” says Khan.

On 1 December, Alewyn Bronn from BronnProperties started tackling key issues in anattempt to draw more shoppers.

Problems such as cycling, smoking andpets in the centre were identified, but wereremedied with new signage around the build-ing.

“The public toilets have also received up-

grades and were always clean and pleasura-ble to use since new owners took over,” Khanadds.

If the upgrade to the actual building wasnot exciting enough, the addition of retailstores should get your feet moving, withAquarius Fisheries and an Internet Cafe soonto be opened.

Also being discussed is the possibility of in-troducing stores such as Mr Price and Fruitand Veg City, sending waves of excitementthrough the centre management team.

The additions will complement the existingstores such as Kensington Laundry, PepStores, Eye Deal Optical, Easy Styling HairSalon, Rossiers Pharmacy, New SpectraHardware Store, the Gift and Bead Shop andtwo ATM’s – FNB and Standard Bank.

“These are some exciting times and we aremerely looking at making shopping pleasura-ble,” says Khan.

One of the stand-out features on the centresactivity list is the month end ‘Sidewalk Sale’,which will see some great specials on offer.

At the end of April, the centre will also beboasting a fleamarket with stalls on offer toanybody interested in getting involved.

If you would like to sell your wares, phoneKhan on 083 311 3082.

IN a combined initiative,GrandWest Casino and the

City of Cape Town joined forceson Friday to promote the issue ofwater conservation during Na-tional Water Week, with particu-lar focus on combating river pol-lution.

This was the third time the twoparties have worked together, withthe focus on cleaning up rubbishand foreign objects from the

Elsieskraal Canal and storm watersystem.

In addition to staff and manage-ment from GrandWest, City depart-ments involved in the clean up in-clude the Parow Subcouncil, theSolid Waste Public Awareness andEducational Communication de-partment and the EnvironmentalRecourse Management depart-ment.

Joining them on the day were 35learners from De Waveren Primary

School and residents living adja-cent to the Elsieskraal Canal whoworked under the guidance of eight“river wardens”, trained by theCity’s Environmental RecourseManagement department.

A further objective of the cleanupcampaign is to create awarenessaround the Elsieskraal River, itshistory and the negative effectdumping and subsequent blockageshave had on the quality of the riverand the environment.

Unlike many cleanup initiatives,the project is not a one-off or a quickfix and will continue long after thecleanup is over.

To this end, the City will committo employing 40 permanent riverwardens, who will be chosen fromthe subcouncil’s job seeker’s databank to ensure unemployed peoplefrom the community benefit.

For GrandWest, the project is acontinuation of the annual rivercleanup first initiated in 2009.

For the City, the initiative formspart of the integrated catchmentmanagement project which hon-ours the late professor Kader As-mal.

In phase one and two of theproject, dense invasive and alienvegetation was removed along withlitter, while phase three will see on-going maintenance.

The wardens will patrol the riv-ers regularly to deal with problemsas they occur.

Evolution: Fact or fiction?. Do visiting museums really prove

evolution, or does it prove beyond ashadow of a doubt that there is a Crea-tor? The fossils did not appear out ofthin air. The fossils you see today werecreated and died over time! I would liketo offer a booklet or DVD entitled “Evo-lution vs Creation” to anyone who maybe interested. It’s free on request. Callme on 083 237 4329 for a copy.

. Evolution is a theory, not a fact.The “missing link” isstill missing! From a be-liever (William du Toit)

In response. I tried to swop my

old globes for energy-saving globes at the des-ignated exchange pointsat Kenilworth Centre,Rosmead Avenue andWynberg Mall. But therewere no Eskom staff tobe found!

(An Eskom spokesper-son has confirmed thatthe matter is being inves-tigated. People’s Post willpublish why the contractors were notpresent once the reasons have been sup-plied. -Ed)

. To the person who sent the SMSasking what Helen Zille did to endapartheid, I suggest that you Google itto find out. Educate yourself on the he-roes of the revolution. She did morethan you did. Pearson

. The community is trying to eradi-cate gangsterism. The thought of agang museum stinks.

. My opinion on the WP Rugby deba-cle: either move to Cape Town Stadiumor urgently upgrade the ladies toiletsat Newlands. There really is no excuse

for the appalling condition of the serv-ices you provide for women! I just can’tbelieve Cape Town women haven’t de-manded better!

A load of bull. In response to the furore about the

Red Bull ad, the Bible does not makea mockery of God. There are jokeswhich can be made, and those whichjust can’t. Anon

. Well done Red Bull! That’s the bestad you’ve ever made! From Marge

. Red Bull’s ad about Jesus is in verybad taste and an insult to Christians.Keep religion out of ads. We should

boycott Red Bull. Jessie,Athlone

. Don’t worry aboutthe Red Bull advert. TheGod we Christians be-lieve in can defend him-self.

Just a thought. Is there any way that

jobs can be created for ex-perienced people be-tween the ages of 48 and59? Many of these peoplewere the breadwinnersin their households andhaveno sourceof income.Is there any way that our

government can assist or create workfor these citizens of Western Cape? Af-ter all, they are the people who put foodon the table and have to foot the bills.Desperate

. Vodacom should spend less ontheir advertising campaigns and moreon improving their 3G service!

. Why does SAFA insist that a per-son who would like to coach soccer ob-tain a coaching certificate? I am 68years old and I have played soccersince I was seven. I admit that I do notwatch much SA soccer as there is noth-ing exciting to see. Why do I need a cer-tificate to coach? Melly W

The show features brand new material inwhich Lottering expresses his unique viewson topics that tickle his fancy – ranging fromBeyonce’s baby to his fascination with reali-ty TV in South Africa.

He will, of course, also explain exactly whyhe refuses to work on Sundays.

Lottering is one of the country’s top come-dians.

He has been in the funny business for 13years and continues to keep audiences institches.

When he is not performing locally, he en-tertains home-sick South Africans livingabroad.

To date, he has performed to rave reviewsin London, Sydney, Perth, Toronto, Mel-bourne, Auckland and Dubai.

Lottering is a multiple Fleur du Cap Thea-tre Award winner and a Naledi nominee.

His self-scripted one-man shows, which of-ten feature his unique and popular charac-ters, continue to play to packed houses.

Lottering fans can follow him on twitter(@marclottering), or visit www.marclotter-ing.com to see his detailed show schedule.

I Don’t Work on Sundays runs from Tues-day 3 April till Saturday 21 April at 20:15 atthe Baxter Golden Arrow Studio, and is notsuitable for children.

Tickets cost from R80 to R100 via Com-puticket.

CAPE TOWN, together with other 2010Fifa World Cup host cities, presented itsbid to host some of the group and knock-out matches for the 2013 African Cup ofNations yesterday.

The Confederation of African Football(CAF) has awarded South Africa the respon-sibility of hosting the 29th African Cup ofNations (Afcon) next year.

This competition is held every two yearsand attracts a large number of competitors,supporters and members of the media from

across the world.Since the inaugural event held in 1957 –

which featured three competing nations –the Afcon has grown into Africa’s premierinternational football tournament.

The final tournament, to behosted inJan-uary to February, is divided into a groupphase and a knock-out phase, with a totalof 16 teams from the continent vying for thecoveted title of Africa’s Champions.

A total of four host cities are being soughtthroughout the country.

The City has submitted a bid to host group

phase matches as well as selected knock-outstage matches.

The City believes that this tournamentwill reignite the spirit of “cohesion and na-tion-building” amongst all South Africans,much like the 2010 Fifa World Cup did, anddraw South Africans closer to the Africancontinent.

“To this end, the City of Cape Town hassent a senior delegation to present its biddocument to the Bid Adjudication Commit-tee – which should serve as testimony of ourcommitment to doing all in our power to se-

cure major events for our facilities, includ-ing Cape Town Stadium. The delegation ishopeful that the deliberations will result ina successful bid by Cape Town,” says theCity’s Mayoral Committee member forTourism for Events and Marketing, council-lor Grant Pascoe.

This initiative complements the City’s in-tent to use events, tourism and its strategicassets as key levers to profile and positionCape Town on a global scale – turning event-based job opportunities into long-term ca-reers.

Underdogs surprise big gunsLIAM MOSES

THE final day of play at theannual Strandfontein Under13 tournament had severalsurprises in store for playersand spectators as several ofthe biggest teams wereknocked out.

The tournament, now in itsthirteenth year, brings togeth-er 24 of the best junior teamsfrom around Cape Town tocompete against one anotherfor the three titles on offer.

The competition’s innova-tive format sees the teams di-vided into eight groups of threeteams each, with the winners,runners-up and last-placedsides in the groups all advanc-ing to different knock-out stag-es labelled as the champion-ship, plate and shield respec-tively. This year, some of CapeTown’s biggest football teamssent their U13 sides to competein the tournament, and the line-up included Mr PriceParkhurst Academy and OldMutual Academy, as well asCape Town’s two Premier Soc-cer League clubs, Ajax and San-tos.

However, none of the bigsides were able to advance beyondthe semi-final stages of the any ofthe three streams.

Fish Hoek Football Club wasone of the tournaments surprisepackages as they made it all the

way to the championship final, be-fore faltering at the last step.

The team qualified for the cham-

pionship section after beating theStephanians 2-0 and thrashingRedRovers 4-0 in their two group-stage

matches.But the team’s most impres-

sive results came in the knock-out stages of the competition,where they eliminated two ofthe tournament’s heavy-hit-ters.

Old Mutual Academy, basedin Pinelands, were the first tobe despatched when they lost3-2 on penalties after the matchfinished in a 1-1 draw, and MrPrice Parkhurst Academy fromWestridge were sent packing ina 2-1 defeat in the semi-finals.

However, Fish Hoek receiveda taste of their own medicine inthe final as Lucky Stars of Gug-ulethu recorded a 5-1 victory towalk away with the title.

The Gugulethu side wontheir twogroupmatches 6-0 and7-1 in the first round, and de-feated Ajax Cape Town 3-0 inthe semi-finals on their way tothe final.

In the plate final, for teamswho finished second in theirgroups, Strandfontein, thetournament hosts, beat Rygers-dal 6-2. CPUT beat Crusaders4-3 in the final of the shield sec-tion, for teams who finishedthird in their groups.

The top goal-scorer at thetournament was Courtney Wil-

liams of Ajax Cape Town, whoscored seven goals in his side’sfour matches.

Province performance packs no punchLIAM MOSES

WESTERN PROVINCE made heavywork of defeating an unfancied

Eastern Province Kings side during a Vo-dacom Cup match at City Park in Craw-ford at the weekend.

The match was held at the ground, insteadof regular venue Newlands, to celebrate its50th birthday but the rugby on display washardly worthy of the occasion.

Province named a strong, experiencedteam to face their neighbours, and the EPKings seemed like a team of complete un-knowns by comparison.

The home side boasted several players withSuper Rugby experience in key positions, in-cluding fullback Curt Coleman, wing DaniePoolman, flyhalf Demetri Catrikilis, scrum-half Nic Groom, lock Rynhard Elstadt andprop Wicus Blaauw.

The most well-known name on the visitor’steam-sheet was former Bulls backline playerTiger Mangweni.

But despite their supposed superiority, WPonly just managed to pull off a victory in thedying seconds of the encounter.

The Kings went into the match brimmingwith confidence, on the back of a 40-23 maul-ing of the Border Bulldogs in their previousgame, and in the first half they played withboth the proverbial and literal wind at theirbacks.

The visitors opened the scoring in the sixthminute with a try from wing Andile Witbooi,and went on to dominate the possession andterritory in the first half thanks to indisci-pline and unforced errors from the hosts andthe advantage of their opponents having toplay into a strong wind.

EP’s first half dominance was interruptedonly by a try from WP wing Edries Arendseand penalties from flyhalf Demetri Catrikilis,and their superiority showed on the score-board as they went into half-time leading 19-11.

WP was a much improved side when they

returned from the half-time break and, aidedby now playing with the wind, they managedto creep up into touching distance of EP afterlowering their error count and cutting downon the amount of penalties they conceded.

A series of penalties from Catrikilis saw

them narrow the deficit to just two pointswith only four minutes left on the clock.

And in the final minute of the game, withEP leading 25-23, outside centre JP du Plessisscored the winning try of the match after sev-eral phases of patient build-up fromProvince.

The final whistle was blown immediatelyafter Catrikilis goaled the resulting conver-sion, givingWPa30-25 victoryover theKings.

Western Province play the Border Bulldogsin their next match, and will hope to put ina more convincing performance.
