TAURIQ HASSEN

CORNWALL Street in Woodstock was ascene of confusion and anger when sevenfamilieswere evicted fromablockof flats.

On Wednesday morning, tenants wereasked to pack their belongings and vacatetheir flats, as the block is scheduled for demo-lition.Evicted tenant Abduraghman Ismail spoke

of his frustration to People’s Post while keep-ing an eye onhis belongings on the pavement.“This cannot be right. We have human

rights, but this is really not human at all,”Ismail fumes.He and his family refused to move from

their flat after receiving an eviction noticethe Friday before. But they were threatenedby the sheriff of the court.Witha tear about to fall, he says: “Ifmy fam-

ily is to live on the streets, I could not affordto be arrested because they will need me.What are we going to do and where are wegoing to live?”When People’s Post went to the area, bang-

ing noises could be heard from inside theblock of flats.Men carted personal belongings to nearby

houses. Neighbours and curious onlookersgathered around, commiserating with theevicted tenants.JuleigaMagerman, a tenant in theblock for

almost 22 years, scrambled to collect the per-sonal effects from her home. She had no cluewhere her family would go.Surrounded by her children, Magerman

says: “This happened all of a sudden and I hadno chance to really figure outwhat I amgoingto do. But I have no choice and I will haveto sleep on the street with my family.”Shahied Meisenheimer, who has been liv-

ing in the flat for the past four years, stoodstunned as he watched his flat being clearedout.When the eviction notice arrived, Meisen-

heimer says he rushed to seeking legal ad-vice. “Whenwe arrived at the Legal Aid, theyjust laughed at us and the more we asked forhelp, the more they kept turning us away.”Meisenheimer started accepting his fate,

preparing to spend the night in his blue car

outside his flat, but still struggled to come toterms with the eviction.“I still can’t believe this is happening.

These people do not have a heart, becausethey’re evicting us in Ramadan,” he says.According to the tenants, notice was re-

ceived in 2009 when talk of a court order sur-faced.However, tenants highlighted that nothing

had been put on paper since and talks of ei-ther an eviction or court order had died out.Ismail says: “We were suddenly asked to

leave and they gave us about three days topack our things and find an alternative placeto live, which cannot be right.”Owner of the property, Fatima Gaibie, be-

lieves she has given the tenants enough timeto find alternative accommodation.She adds that a two-year notice period had

been given and says she cannot understandwhy the eviction is so “shocking”.Gaibie says: “I gave them enough time.

They have been living there for nothing andtwo years is more than enough time.”

The building is set to be demolished and ap-provals have already been granted by coun-cil, Gaibie confirms.She says: “That building is no good and is

already falling apart. It must be throwndown.”

Dear reader,

National Women’s Day, Thursday 9August, is approached by most withmixed feelings.On the one hand,we have cause for cel-

ebration when we remember the tri-umphs of women over the past decades,most notably 9 August 1956 when morethan 20 000 women of diverse culturesfearlessly protested proposed pass lawsby marching on the Union Buildings inPretoria.Women have deservedly assumed

their place in the business, political andsporting arenas. We’re the quintessen-tial multi-taskers, adeptly juggling ourvarious roles – careers, motherhood,marriage, community work...According to the Inter-Parliamentary

Union and UN Women, there are “cur-rently 17 countries with women as headof government, head of state or both”.Globally, Thursdaywillmark the 101st

International Women’s Day and abroadand locally, thousands of events are be-ing planned.With all the awareness and altruistic

efforts by government and organisationscommitted to women empowerment, aswell as the power wielded by women to-day, it is the greatest irony that as manywomen are victims of abuse and vio-lence.However, statistics on violence

against women in South Africa is not re-liable, because many cases go unreport-ed. This is due to a number of factors,such as stigma, financial instability, fearof repercussions from abusive partners,a lack of information and education

around women’s rights when it comes toreporting abuse, and limited to no re-sources for escaping abusive relation-ships.There is also the “system”, such as the

processes and red tape involved in filingfor divorce, and the complexities of theDomestic Violence Act. Many womencan testify how they’vebeen sent back home tofurther abuse, in the nameof “getting both sides ofthe story” before divorcebecomes an option.During my stint as a

court reporter, I wouldforce myself to listen dis-passionately to the trialsabout women who hadbeen assaulted, andnearlykilled, by their partners.The women had been

kidnapped, locked up,beaten with concrete ob-jects, stabbed...My intended disconnection was two-

fold, I reasoned; firstly, professional andsecondly, to distancemyself frommy lifeexperiences and that of others I careabout.As a reporter, I had been trained to be

objective and report the facts; but mytraining did not extend to my humanityand it became impossible for me to de-tach as I looked at the women painfullytestifying against the men they had onceloved and trusted.The tragedy was that most of the men

charged with assaulting “their women”,appeared unaffected, emotionally void.Our most profound memories take

root during childhood and it is criticalthat education begins primarily in thehome and includes conversationsaround respecting and valuing all peo-ple, including women. The onus is onboth parents to show respect towardsone another.I don’t profess to being an authority on

relationship matters buthave minimum require-ments. Aman who activelylistens to his partner, apol-ogises when he’s at fault –or evenwhen he’s not – andknows when to walk awayfrom an argument is wor-thy of respect.It’s as simple as that. Few

men realise how little ittakes to make a womanhappy... but I’m not sayingthat the gifts and pamper-ing don’t count, so pull outall the stops this Women’sDay, and every other day!

MAITLAND residents continue to lockhorns with owners of a problematic pieceof land deemed as an “eyesore” in the ar-ea.

After the removal of an illegal squattercamp on the property in Coronation Road,large amounts of dirt were left behind, seem-ingly increasing as days pass.The former storage facility, which isowned by the provincial department ofTransport and Public Works, has beenplaguedwith squatters and crime in the past.The premises stored items such as oldbeds, furniture and items for which the na-tional government no longer had any use.Edite Rodrigues, manager of the MaitlandCity Improvement District (MaitCID), hasreached her wits’ end about the property.MaitCID has forwarded its concerns to therelevant departments, but received no re-sponses.Rodrigues says: “We have had enoughnow. Problems around this property keep re-surfacing and we, as the residents and busi-nesses, have to put up with it.”Rodrigues, along with a handful of busi-ness owners in Maitland, tackled the squat-ter camp issues for months on end and were“delighted” to have the squatters removed.A business owner who spoke to People’s

Post on condition of anonymity, battledwiththe squatters in the past after having hisbusiness repeatedly burgled.

On one occasion, he caught two suspectsstuck in the window, scrambling to escape.On another occasion, the business ownerfound items on the Coronation Street prop-erty which had been stolen from his busi-ness.“We are glad those issues have now beendealt with. But it’s like a slap in our face tojust remove the problematic elements whilethey leave other growing problems behind,”says the outraged businessman.Shudley Abrahams, a business owner inCoronation Road, believes that if the issuesat the property continue to grow, “surround-ing business could be impacted”.He adds that the property has a securityguard protecting a “property of rubbish”,which “does not make sense at all” to thecommunity.Abrahams says: “The least they couldhavedone after removing those criminals, wasclean up the property and have somethingpositive replace it. I cannot thinkof anythingoff the cuff, but the department wastes somuchmoney on stupid projects.Whydo theystruggle to maintain their own premises?”People’s Post forwarded a detailed querythrough to the provincial department ofTransport and Public Works for comment.They were unable to respond at the timeof going to print.

People’s Post Woodstock-Maitland OPINIONS Tuesday 7 August 2012

DON’T DO IT: Ryan Africa believesdrunk people should use alternativetransport. “It is clear that, with thecurrent percentage, they are stilldrinking and that won’t stop, even ifthe percentage is lowered.”

DROP IT: Zandile Qumza agrees the percentage should be decreased. “It is goodthat the percentage will be lowered, butit should be 0.0 because drunk drivingkills a lot of innocent people on theroads.”

GREAT IDEA: Andries Burger believes the percentage should belowered. “If one would not drinkthey would know how to drive onthe roads. Drunk driving is dangerous to sober road users.”

DRINKING KILLS: Rachel Konig saysshe has bad memories of alcohol. “Ihad a friend who was killed in an accident caused by a drunk driver. Nobodywho has had a drink should be allowedto drive. No percentage should be allowed.”

ALCOHOL CHANGES PEOPLE: LynneVester says the behaviour differs between a sober and intoxicated person.“When a person is drunk they are completely different. There should be notdrinking and driving at all. The percentage should be 0.0”

A PROPOSED amendment tothe national road trafficamendment bill could see thelegal alcohol limit reducedfrom 0.05 to 0.02 grams.

The Road Traffic ManagementCorporation’s Ashref Ismail saysalcohol is a major factor in roaddeaths.More than 65% of all major fa-

tal crashes are attributed to alco-hol consumption.The bill is open for public com-

ment until Saturday 18 August.People’s Post readers shared theirviews with Luzuko Zini andTarren-Lee Habelgaarn.

DOG lovers can now bond withtheir pets in a whole new way – bydancing with them.The club, called Dancing with

Dogs, is currentlybased inConstan-tia. And, for those with, er, two leftlegs, there are dance categoriessuch asGoldenOldies, Sassy Seniorand Handy Dandy.Dancing with Dogs Cape Town is

a club that provides a platform fora different kind of bonding experi-ence between dog owners and theirpets. Club member Yvonne Zwiege-laar – who regularly competes in lo-cal aswell as international competi-tions with her dogs – feels this is a

fun way for owners to connect withtheir pets. She says: “It is a sportthat dogs and owners of all ages andsizes can enjoy.”The eldest member in their club

is 60 years old and in Johannesburgthere is a 70 year old that competes.“One of my dogs is 12 years old so

we compete in the Golden Oldiescategory,” Zwiegelaar says with agiggle.The club was started in 2009 and

annually welcomes new members.There are two competitions per

year which are referred to as titlingevents. In these events their arevarious categories inwhich ownersand dogs and participate.Beginners and advanced groups

are judged separately. Zwiegelaarsays one of the reasons this is suchan effective platform is becausethere is no specific obedience train-ing required. “My dogs don’t al-ways listen to me but will hangaround with me,” she says.This aspect is important as the

dancing is made up of obedienceand tricks choreographed to yourdogs strengths. However, theHandy Dandy category caters toowners or dogs with disabilities.Every year, one person per coun-

try is invited to take part in the bigDancing with Dogs competitionheld in London, which according toZwiegelaar is a spectacular experi-ence.

AN URGENTappeal is be-ing made tobreast-feeding women to do-nate their breastmilk to helpnourish hungry infants.This request comes in the

wakeof increaseddemand forbreastmilk by Milk Matters,the breastmilk bank in theWestern Cape. “We are al-ways in need of donor milk,but the demand is particular-ly high at present and we areunable to supply all the ba-bies in need,” says LouiseGoosen, the Milk Matterschairperson and lactationconsultant.Their quest is to feed the

many tiny premature babies

in need of do-nor breast-milk.

Goosen says babies whobenefit from the breastmilkinclude those who weigh lessthan 1 500 grams, or in caseswhen the mother is seriouslyill and cannot give her ownmilk for medical reasons,such as mothers with hyper-tension.According to Goosen, do-

nors “make a difference inthe lives of themany vulnera-ble babies we provide withdonor milk every day”.Contact Milk Matters on 0

PLANS to develop a church on a vacantpatch of land in Factreton have onceagain resurfaced.

The land, currently zoned as SingleDwelling Residential, had drawn atten-tion in the past when members of the Sev-en Day Adventist Church were seen de-marcating sections of the land in AcreRoad.

Ward councillor Derrick America an-nounced that an application has now beensubmitted to use the land for “worship-ping purposes”.

America says: “I understand that thecommunity was really upset when theseplans were initially announced last yearand it’s something I have to take into con-sideration, but I will not just allow thissort of development to happen.”

Factreton residents were up in arms af-ter they got wind of a church developmentset for the plot, but the City of Cape Townconfirmed they knew nothing of the pro-posal at the time (“Factreton in flap overmystery church”, People’s Post, 4 October2011).

Residents have until Monday 13 Augustto either object or support the rezoning ap-plication.

Dilshaad Adams, a nearby resident, wasastounded when he discovered that themembers of the church were allowed to getthis far in their planning phase.

“The area they have chosen is not suita-ble for a church, because there are many

factors that need to be taken into consider-ation.”

She was also concerned that an areaused by children for soccer and othergames will now be removed, forcing theminto the streets where their lives are indanger.

Resident Patricia Adams shared similarconcerns and mentioned that there aremany other locations for a church to bebuilt, but the land in Acre Road “shouldbe off limits”.

“The people around here should notworry that much, because if everybodyjust stands together and objects to the re-zoning of the land, these developers can-not just start building,” she says.

She humorously adds: “If they don’t lis-ten, building that church would be the lastgood deed they do and they’ll meet the manabove a lot sooner.”

Cheryl Walters, the Director for Plan-ning and Building Development Manage-ment for the City, is aware of the applica-tion, with the original being submitted on18 May.

“The applicant is applying to permit aplace of worship on the subjected proper-ty,” says Walters.

She says residents have been consultedabout the proposed plans and notices, dat-ed 9 July, were served to interested and af-fected parties.

“No rezoning is required but permis-sion to permit a place of worship on theproperty is required,” says Walters.

The closing date for any comments orobjections is Monday 13 August.

Praying for aresolution

THE illegal dumping task committee of theKensington and Factreton Ratepayers As-sociation will embark on a two to three-hour peripheral clean-up operation aroundthe entrance to the Century City Station onSaturday.

The purpose is to create awareness of theimportance of a clean and safe environ-ment and hopefully bring an end to dump-ing in the area.

The association wants volunteers to as-

sist with the operation and other futureclean up operations.

Any kind of assistance to make this oper-ation a success will be appreciated.

They will be meeting at the Century CityStation at 08:45 on Saturday.

If you would like to know how you canassist or for more information, contact Les-lie Swartz on 083 566 3019.

People’s Post Woodstock-Maitland NEWS Tuesday 7 August 2012

LAILA MAJIET

COMMUTERS have welcomedMetrorail’s plan to have rail se-curity guards trained by theSouth African National DefenceForce.

Hundreds of Metrorail guardswill be trained by the army to betterdealwith crime on trains and at sta-tions.

Commuters say a beefed up secu-rity system is in order, but theyquestion how thiswill improve gen-eral services which should beMetrorail’s main concern.

Commuter Ezelle Solomons (22)says while it is a good idea to havethe army train security guards, thearmy is needed elsewhere.

“There was so much hesitancy tobring in the army in gang-infestedareas like Lavender Hill, yet the ar-my can be brought in to train secu-rity guards,” she says.

“I travel on the northern line.There is a police station just metres

away from the Bellville train sta-tion, but not even that is a deterrentfor criminals. There is a need formore security guards in carriagesand on the train stations.”

Mthuthuzeli Swartz, the regionalmanager of Metrorail WesternCape, says the defence force willbring superior skills to the trainingof additional resources.

Responding to questions of clari-fication on the new recruits, he in-dicates that the new traineeswill beshared across the region and theirdeployment based on needs analy-ses.

“The guards will be deployed atall stations for the duration of ouroperational hours,” he says.

“Proactive deployment is basedon security intelligence and reac-tivemeasures in response to report-

ed crime incidents. Most criminalsare opportunists, as result inci-dents are mostly random and oftena spill-over from the surrounds. Wecontinue to collaborate with the ap-propriate provincial and local lawenforcement agencies to collective-ly address our joint priority ofcrime prevention.”

He explains the Western Cape re-gion comprises of 481 kmof railwaytracks, 122 stations, 1 095 train car-riages and 732 000 passenger jour-neys each weekday.

Swartz confirms crime hasdropped by 40 % over the last year.

“On average we record between15 and 23 incidents of crime againstcommuters per month,” he says.

Although crime is down, the rateof vandalism remains a concern inthe central service area.

“We anticipate that the addition-al resources will also assist in re-storing order to the rail systemthrough enforcement of bylaws (nosmoking, vagrancy, littering, ille-gal trading) as well as operationalsafety,” he says.

However, another commuter,Donna Lukas, who travels to workby train every day says Metrorailneeds to get its priorities in order.“Protecting us from crime shouldnot be their first priority. We relyon trains to get us to our destina-tions on time. Trains are often de-layed. Sometimes commuters arenot even given any reason whytrains are running late. Trains arethen overloaded and there are noguards around at this time whenpeople are hanging out of thedoors,” she says.

Metrorail encourages commut-ers to report such incidents.

Swartz says Metrorail appeals tocustomers to be proactive againstopportunistic crime by being vigi-lant andkeeping thenecessary safe-ty tips in mind.

Those travelling by train are en-couraged to keep valuables such ascellphones and jewellery out ofsight, move to fuller coaches andstay in a group.

Commuters are also encouragedto immediately report incidents orsuspicious behaviour by callingany of the railway police offices.

Army to train guards

ANIMAL lovers now haveuntil the end of this month toregister their pets.

The City of Cape Town hasextended theoriginal deadlineof 31 July for au-tomatic permis-sion for extra an-imals to Friday31 August. Thereis no cost.

Interactionwith pet ownersand animal wel-fare organisa-tions have identi-fied some confu-sion and concernon the registration.

This, in turn, has resultedin a slowing of the registra-tion process and thus thegranting of automatic per-mission for animals in excessof the limits stipulated in theAnimal Bylaw of 2010.

This is despite theCityhav-

ing increased the permissiblenumbers previously legislat-ed.

The final deadline for theentire process isSunday 30 Sep-tember beforelaw enforcementofficers imposeany penalties fornon-compliance.

Instead of buy-ing an annual doglicence, pet own-ers are simply re-quired to registerall cats and dogskept on theirproperty.

Pet owners applying before31 August for more animalsthan they are permitted fortheir properties will qualifyfor automatic sanction andpermission. After this theymay be fined for their excessanimals and for pets withoutidentification.

TAURIQ HASSEN

WALMER Estate will have another op-portunity to wipe out the “rat running”problem plaguing the area for years.

The City of Cape Town plans to host an in-formation session with residents in Septem-ber, where engineers will conduct presenta-tions.Ward councillor Brett Herron feels that

the “rat running” issues have been comingon for a while and the problem “needs tocome to an end”.“Wehavehad information sessions before,

but we did not achieve the result we wanted,which is why we are aiming to host more,”he says.

The main problems are the large volumesof traffic in Chester, Coronation and UpperCambridge streets in Walmer Estate (“Traf-fic problems to come full circle”, People’sPost, 8 November 2011).Officials from the City’s Transport Net-

work Department conducted a survey andmet with residents to present their findingson 8 November 2011.However, Herron was disappointed at the

turnout at the meeting held in the PodiumBuilding in the CBD.“We could not get a good idea of what resi-

dents were thinking and this made the proc-ess slightly more difficult,” he says.Residentswere clearly fed upwith the “rat

running” saga over the years, wanting theproblem to be dealt with “as soon as possi-ble”.Resident SimonAndrews has seen enough

cars speeding down his road in the six yearsthat he has been living in Walmer Estate.He suggests that designated traffic officers

be assigned to the area during peak hour and

every resident should be given a “residentialparking” badge for their vehicles.“Maybe they can establish some sort of job

creation opportunity and then have some-body stationed at the beginning of ChesterRoad, with clear-cut access control points,”says Andrews.Another resident, Adeeb Richards, sug-

gests that only cars be allowed to travelthrough the road and taxis should be target-ed.“It’s not all the cars that are guilty, but the

taxi drivers aremostly theonesdriving reck-lessly and they are the ones breaking thetraffic laws,” he says.The Walmer Estate Civic Association con-

firms that several meetings were held withCity officials to discuss the “rat running”problems.The association has now drawn up a pro-

posal which includes traffic-calming meas-ures for a number of junctions withinWalm-er Estate.For Coronation and Mountain Roads, an

island junction is being proposed, whichwould result in one-way traffic only.ForRhodes andRoodebloemroads, a boom

is being suggested for themiddle of the road,restricting traffic onto Roodebloem between16:00 and 18:00.According to the document, the boom

will operate on an access card basis, with asuggested annual cost of R50 for the accesscard.For Coronation and Melbourne Roads, a

sign indicatingno left turnbetween16:00 and18:00, except for buses and a camera to en-force this traffic rule is proposed, with regu-lar spot checks by traffic officials.For Westfort and Roodebloem, a perma-

nent barrier to block traffic entering Roode-bloem is being proposed.

‘Rat running’trap is planned

People’s Post Woodstock-Maitland LEADER Tuesday 7 August 2012

A woman’s worthSHE is woman, wife, mother, sister, aunt,friend. Matriarch.

Her names are endless, but what she repre-sents is the glue that binds family and friends.

Without her, worlds collide, families disin-tegrate, semblance of peace and cooperationdissimilate, siblings fight and grow apart.

She offers cohesion, a nurturing touch, ashoulder to cry on, soothing advice, a com-forting embrace.

‘She’ is a car, a boat, an aeroplane, but morethan an inanimate object, ‘she’ is MotherEarth. She breathes life and lets it grow – hersure hand ever present to guide, admonishand protect.

Womanhood is more than the spikes of herstiletto, the colour of her hair, the cup size ofher bra, her cooking skills.

Womanhood is defined beyond her physicaland professional abilities.

A woman who dwells in safety representsone who is the object of respect. A woman whois free to study and work is manifestation ofa free society. A woman who chooses to raiseher children and make a home earns her liv-ing.

What does gender equality mean? Do wom-en really want to be equal to men? And whodecides this? How is this equality deter-mined?

Gender equality transcends the borders ofincome. Earning power does not change howmen view women. Are they the weaker sex?Is there such a thing? Is this determined bywhether a woman can change the tyre of acar?

No.Is she any less of a woman if she can change

a tyre? And if she does it faster and with moreskill than a man, does she lose any of her femi-ninity?

Women’s Day on Thursday is a chance forall to examine their personal views of women.

Should she remain the persona society de-mands? Or, if she somehow ‘fails’, does thismake her less accepted as a human?

You decide.

YOU have to work hard to get the things youneed and would like.

Nothing falls from the sky. I cannot believepeople who are unhappy about the things theyhaven’t got would torch a bus and burn downa train.

The cost of the chaos they create would havebuilt plenty of houses.

The agitators will disappear when the fouldeed is done. I am so worried about the SouthAfrican political scene.RALPH KRALL

Work to get what you want in life

WHAT a completely irresponsible editorial,condoning the destruction of public property bypeople who have never contributed to buildinganything.

This was organised and orchestrated by theANC to try and sow discord in the WesternCape, and the City is quite right to take themto court.

This is the best run province in the country,so what is the complaint? Somebody isn’t get-ting something for nothing!

It is disgraceful to portray protesters as out-raged. I am outraged that people think by de-stroying public property – which I and othertaxpayers paid for – that this will improve theirlot.

I am outraged that most of my property taxes

are diverted to build infrastructure people onlywant to destroy.

Nobody is entitled to anything they don’t payfor and protesters have never contributed inany way to their community.

John F Kennedy once said: “Ask not whatyour country can do for you, but what you cando for your country.”BRIAN HOAREPeople’s Post respects the right of every reader totheir opinion. This newspaper aims to reflectwhat is happening in our broad readership anddoes not condone violence or vandalism by any-one. The editorial comment clearly states: “Itmakes little sense to damage infrastructure andgovernment property – meant for use by the peo-ple.” Letter shortened – Editor

Equally outraged by protesters

. The City of Cape Townworks for you? They are talk-ing nonsense. We must standup for our rights – we needhouses, not parks. They wantto make Cape Town look goodfor tourists. They don’t careabout the poor.

. Rental in the province istoo expensive. It’s difficult toopen businesses, because thebiggest expense is rent –that’s why job creation is soslow.

. We need to stop beingnegative and believe it is pos-sible for things to stay “calm”as it is. We can believe andtrust that God has alreadybrought a change and He isfaithful and able to completewhat He has started. Let’sshow compassion towardseach other from today.

. Well done to our athletesfor winning two gold medalsin the pool. I am a proudSouth African.

. The City of Cape Townwants to value propertiesthey do not own every twoyears to milk us homeownersdry, while they enjoy mas-sive salary increases.

. Let those who’s proper-ties fall under indigentgrants pay their fair share ofwater usage, like in the caseof electricity. Check on theirincome.

Tuesday 7 August 2012 SPORT People’s Post Woodstock-Maitland

LIAM MOSES

DESPITE being almost twice the ageof most of his competitors, an 80-year-old Athlone golfer can stillclaim to be one of the best in CapeTown.

Greenhaven resident Ishmail Adams firststartedplaying organised golf in 1972 andhas since grown into alegend of the game. Hadgie, as he is known on Cape Town’s golf courses,is still a level par golfer, with a handicap of just eight – less than eightyears ago his handicap was only two.Adams says apart fromhis natural talent for the game, it’s his principles

which make him such a good golfer.“I think golf is an art. It’s an individual sport. It could be natural talent,

but I always say there are four Ds in golf – devotion, desire, determinationand discipline. You have to have that. If you don’t have that in golf, forgetabout it,” says Adams.“Even the youngsters, they can out-driveme by 50m but I still beat them

because my chipping and my putting is fantastic.”Adams got his first taste of the sport as a child at the Rondebosch Golf

Course, near to his childhood home and his father’s business.Golf was part of his everyday life. “We lived inBlackRiver, sowewalked

from our father’s tailor shop onto the golf course,” says Adams.“And that’s how I started as a caddy. We didn’t have golfing equipment,

so when we played on a nearby field in the afternoon we started with abluegum seed and stick wrapped in wire.”After dropping the game as a teenager and finding it again as an adult,

Adams quickly improved.Duringhis golfing careerhehaswon theCaledon,Worcester andOuteni-

qua opens, amongst many other trophies and medals.A regular player at the King David Country Club inMontana since 1980,

he has hit three hole-in-one’s since then. The only tournament that haseluded him is the club championships.According to Donny Jurgens, secretary of the Cape Peninsula Golf Club

of which Adams has been a member since it was founded in 1985, saysAdams is special both on and off of the golf course.“He offers lessons to themembers and juniors and often picks up juniors

at their homes, without expecting anything in return,” says Jurgens.“He is always prepared to help. He sponsors prizes for the club. The club

is part of him – that really makes him special. He is a life president ofour club, which is a particular honour.Jurgens jokingly adds: “The only thing that we don’t like about him is

the fact that he keeps on beating us.”

LIAM MOSES

HAMILTONS kept their slim hopes ofvictory in the Super League A alivewhen they came from behind to beatUCT at Groote Schuur on Saturday.

The Sea Point-based side trailed theirhosts formajority of thematch, but took thelead in the 73rd minute and hung on toclaim four log points.The victory leaves Hammies in second

place on the league table, behind Durban-ville-Bellville and ahead of Maties.Hamiltons’ head coach Anton Moolman

said his side would be ready to capitaliseif any of their rivals dropped points in theremaining games.“Last week Durb-Bell lost to Tygerberg,

which was huge upset. It just shows thatthis league is extremely tough and youcan’t take any team lightly,” saidMoolman.“Our victory keeps us in touch and, if the

results don’t go the way they should at thetop, we get closer.We have to keep applyingpressure.”Saturday’s match was a pressure cooker,

with the first half characterised bymiserlydefence and neither team finding any pene-tration.The home side opened the scoring with

a penalty by flyhalf Ross Jones-Davies inthe third minute and Hammies scrumhalfDustin Jinka replied with a penalty only aminute later.Jones-Davies added three more penalties

and Jinka slotted another to take the teams

into the halftime break at 12-6.The game opened up significantly in the

second half, and UCT stretched their leadwhen Jones-Davies was put into a gap onthe right wing, racing over the tryline toscore. However, he failed to convert.Hamiltons scored in the 63rd minute

when lock forward Tiaan Fick barged overfrom close range. Jinka added the extras tonarrow the deficit. They crossed the chalkline again in the 73rd minute.UCT had two opportunities to regain the

lead, but both Jones-Davies penalty at-tempts sailed wide of the posts.Moolman praised his side’s resilience.

“Wehave had a long, nearly four-and-a-halfweek break, and there was always going tobe a bit of rust,” said Moolman.“UCT had a good win against False Bay

last week, so we knew we were going to beup against it. I’m really proud of the guys’character they showed today – they in thereand bagged four points away from home.”Moolman’s team went into this week-

end’s round of game in third place, butDurb-Bell’s last-gasp, 23-21 victory overMaties, saw them move above of the Stel-lenbosch side.Hammies now trail Durb-Bell by 14

points, but have played one less game andtwo more than Maties.Meanwhile, False Bay suffered their sev-

enth defeat in a row, losing 37-27 againstBelhar away from home.Bay and their southern suburbs neigh-

bours Villager now look certain to be rele-gated from the Super League A this season.
