SOUTH PENINSULA

‘Need for detailed plan’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The findings of the Far South strategicenvironmental assessment were pre-sented to the local subcouncil lastweek.

The Far South Peninsula Community Fo-rum (FSPCF) requested that such a strategicenvironmental assessment of the Far Southbe carried out in 2013, following a variety ofconcerns about development in the area.

The goal was to identify and evaluate thestrategic environmental impacts of the Cityof Cape Town’s approved Southern Districtplan.

The CSIR was appointed to carry out theassessment, and its recommendations high-

light the need for more detailed planning inareas of informal settlements, interfaceswith open space, buffer zones and ecologicalcorridors.

There is concern at the official commentthat in its current form the finished assess-ment is not legally binding in any way, saysFSPCF spokesperson Patrick Dowling.Therefore, the way in which the findingsand recommendations are takenup into a re-vised Southern District plan is very impor-tant, he explains.

“The City has quite a lot of flexibilityabout the way in which it chooses to inter-pret the assessment and which, if any, of the‘policy options’ covered actually end up inthe Southern District plan,” he says.

In terms of transport, the CSIR has foundthe proposed densities in the district planwere not likely to attract more public trans-port and that there is a need to promote non-motorised transport and public transport.

The assessment is “somewhat ambiva-lent” about traffic, Dowling says.

“While we support any effort to encouragenon-motorised transport the question ofpublic transport needs to be carefully ana-lysed because the City sees this as goinghand in hand with much higher populationdensities, which then undermine the envi-ronment, heritage, tourism and recreationelements,” he says.

“Wealso donot see ongoing roadwideningand extensions as a sustainable approach in

the long term. Therefore the idea of inter-nodal transport needs to be explored withfull public participation to arrive at a solu-tion which eases congestion without com-promising the Far South’s most valuable as-sets and natural systems.”

In terms of housing, the CSIR recom-mends that more attention is given to up-grades in informal settlements and the posi-tion of social services.

It also recommends that green technologybe used more, which the FSPCF agrees with,Dowling says.

“The FSPCF knows that we will have tobe very vigilant if such good intentions areto be realised,” Dowling says.V Continued on page 2.

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL

Life’s passion found on Fan WalkTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Dancing is my life. I even have a tattooabout dance because this is one thing

that I’m very passionate about.”This is what Kurt Palmer (20) from Steen-

berg says. Palmer realised his dream whenhe started dancing in front of a huge crowdof spectators at Cape Town Carnival fiveyears ago. He has since developed thisdream into a passion and today, he is a leadperformeratCapeTownCarnival and chore-ographs routines for the community groupof Steenberg High School – which is whereit all started.Palmer has been dancing for the past 11

years, startingwith ballet in primary schooland then joining Steenberg High’s commu-nity group. This was where he ended up per-forming on a public platformand discoveredthat it was something that he would like todo for the rest of his life.

“I have always known my passion in lifewas dancing, ever since my first perform-ance. When I have to change into characterit feels basically like I’m starting a new life,opening my body and mind to new thingsthat will tell a story.”

Despite now doing what he loves, Palmersays that it has never been an easy journey:“One of the challenges I had to overcome asa teenager was the bullying and negativityby pupils at my school but I always made away to overcome them.

“Coming from disadvantaged communi-ties it was even difficult to go to rehearsalbecause of criminal activities. Getting fromone place to another was a struggle but Iknew this is what I wanted to do so I had toface the struggles head on. One of the great-estmotivations I hadwasmy life orientation

teacher in matric, Ms Priestley, who alwayshad confidence in me and helped me out inmy dance career.”Palmer has seen the value Cape TownCar-

nival has brought to the many participantsand spectators. “Because of our performan-

ces in Cape TownCarnival, we have had per-formances at the Baxter festival and theCape Arts festival.

“This helped to shape the person I am to-day. I really enjoy dancing. When I have alleyes on me it really makes it easy for me to

do my thing and I want to give people thebest,” he says.In its seventh year, Palmer says the theme

for this year’s Cape Town Carnival is goingto be a show stopper.

“Well, ‘Street Life’ is definitely going to bemy favourite; it is something new and it isvery different. It is difficult to saythough ... each year brings its own pizzazz.

“I amsoexcited to takepart in the carnivalthis year, my body is dancing to the rhythmof ‘Street Life’,” he says.His wish is to work with the Cape Town

Carnival: “One of my biggest dreams is tobecome a part of the team that creates CapeTown Carnival, to showcase and show offCape Town in different ways. Each personbrings his own flavour to the parade. CapeTown is full of colour and culture and eachperson brings his own uniqueness.”This year the carnival promises to be even

more dynamic, with comedian Siv Ngesiparticipating for his third year and other lo-cal personalities like Liezel van der West-huizen, Zoe Brown and Danny Ross joiningthe parade.It will be held on the Fan Walk of Green

Point on 12 March. Visitors will have thefreedom of the city streets from 15:00 as theyjoin family and friends to enjoy the varietyof food and crafts on offer.

The streetswill be closed for final prepara-tions at 18:00, giving carnival-goers enoughtime to find the perfect viewing spot, findtheir seats or make their way to one of themany restaurants along theFanWalk beforethe magic begins at 19:00.V For more information on the Cape Town Carnival,visit www.capetowncarnival.com, the TheCapeTown-Carnival page on Facebook or follow @CTCarnival onTwitter or @capetowncarnival on Instagram and usethe hashtag #CTCarnival2016 and #StreetLife.

Kurt Palmer from Steenberg enjoys being a dancer. His biggest achievement is performing atthe Cape Town Carnival.

The assessment recommendsmore fo-cus on fire management, removal ofinvasive alien plants and preserva-tion of natural and ecological corri-dors.In response, the City’s environmen-

tal resource management departmenthas highlighted the conflict betweenspace for humans and wildlife, whichis “intensifying on the Peninsula”.Habitat must be set aside to supportflora and fauna, it says.The FSPCF wants everyone to look

carefully at the issue of special over-lay zones for variousaspects of theFarSouth such as heritage, environment,tourism and recreation again, as thisconcept is raised in the assessment,Dowling says.“The FSPCF will continue to track

the process as the assessment finds itsway through theCity approval systemand into local planning,” he says.

OCEAN VIEW

Kids beggingout of hungerNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Children, some as young as threeyears old, are standing on street

corners in Ocean View and beg-ging to fill their stomachs.The aim is to collect R1 or R1.50,

which will get them one or twopackets of chips, explains commu-nity worker Raymond Katts. Thiswill be enough to keep the hungerpains at bay for them to sleep.

Fill their stomachs“Children from the ages of three

beg for money to buy cheap chipsto fill their stomachs. One five-year-old once told me he couldn’tcome when called because he mustbeg more to make up his threepackets of chips for the night.Many kids go to sleep hungry,” hesays.Katts runs Love in ActionMinis-

tries, which feeds around 200 chil-dren with a nutritious meal twicea week. However, on the otherdays, children take to the street tobeg, often staying out long aftersunset.Katts is convincedmany parents

are aware of their childrenbeggingand even encourage it.“It’s really an issue of survival

for many of these kids. Last year Ihad to conduct the funeral of ababyas young as two months. The child

died ofmalnutrition.This really af-fected me emotionally. Childrenare not fed nutritional meals andthis leads to various sicknesses,”he says.JohanKikillus, co-founder of the

Ocean View Care Centre, says thecentre aims to get as many chil-dren as possible off the street andinto a classroom. The children,from the age of two and up, are fedtwo meals and a snack.“It’s vitally important this kind

of work be done. We find parentsabdicate their responsibilities andwe need to address the issues athome to make a difference,” hesays.

Main causesMore intervention is needed,

Katts agrees.“This is such a sad reality in

OceanViewand requires interven-tion fromvarious institutions. I be-lieve the main causes are poverty,unemployment and drug addic-tion. Many children of addicts areleft in the care of the grandparentswho themselves struggle to makeends meet,” he says.“I believe that with intervention

from government, businesses andcommunity this can be overcome.”The provincial department of so-

cial development had not com-mented at the time of going toprint.

Life changes with help of pet pawsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

When they put their red jacketson, servicedogsShyannandPhil-ippe know they’re working.For these dogs, working usual-

ly involves helping their physi-cally disabled or challenged own-ers carry out day-to-day tasks,such as going to the shop. Some-times it means making friendswith neighbours to educate themabout service dogs and disabili-ties. On occasion, it means sim-ply providing comfort and com-panionship to their owners.But Shyann and Philippe have

been busier than usual, as theyhelp their respective owners,Dawn Pilatowicz and Janice Sal-thouse, plan the annual “Loveyour guide dog” fundraisingevent.All proceeds go to the SouthAf-

rican Guide Dog Association,which trained Shyann and Phil-ippe.The association breeds and

trains dogs tohelp blind anddisa-bled people. Some dogs also so-cialise with autistic children.Shyann, a Golden Retriever,

was trained to help Pilatowicz –who needs a wheelchair to getaround–bypickingup things shedrops.Philippe, the first poodle ser-

vice dog in the country, helps Sal-thouse balance.“My first dog, Denver, allowed

me to walk and build up muscle.When you have no balance, ifsomeone just touches you there

is the likelihood you could fallover and either break a bone ornot be able to get up,” Salthouseexplains.“Dogs open doors. People talk

to you instead of looking at youlike you’re drunk.”Shyann joined Pilatowicz at

the age of two. Before that, Pila-towicz had been housebound be-cause she relied on a walker orwheelchair to go out.“When you’re in a wheelchair,

you become invisible. It’s like Idon’t have a brain,when actuallyI just can’t walk,” she says.But all that changed with Shy-

ann.“I needed to take her for a daily

walk, so I got an electric wheel-

chair. I lived in my neighbour-hood for 20 years anddidn’t knowanyone before. Now, everyoneknows Shyann.”With the boost of confidence,

Salthouse and Pilatowicz decid-ed to give back by arranging afundraiser for the association.“It’s good for those of us with

physical challenges to give back.We all have talents to share,”says SalthouseV The annual Fish Hoek “Love your guidedog” fundraiser in aid of the SA GuideDog Association will take place in theFish Hoek Civic Centre on Friday at 19:30.Tickets are R160 per person and raffleswill run on the night.

The City’s council has been directed to in-stall a fence to protect the wetlands area inMasiphumelele.The provincial Department of Environ-

mental Affairs and Development Planningissued the order, says Benedicta van Min-

nen, Mayco member for human settle-ments, to stop further encroachment of theinformal settlement into the wetlands.“It is important to protect the wetlands,

which is anecologically sensitivearea.Therecommendation has beenmade as ameas-ure to protect the residents from floodingduring the wet season, which makes thewetland uninhabitable,” she explains.

“The settlement is expanding into thewetland, which is an uninhabitable area.Household and human waste is beingdumped there, which is threatening the ec-ological health of the wetland and the envi-ronmental health of the residents.”The procurement of a contractor is un-

derway, although no date has been set forthe installation to begin.

fire-wise is underway, with more than 50neighbourhood watch members from Glen-cairn recently attending a training sessionon fire awareness and response.Subcouncil chairperson Felicity Purchase

says: “The far south has been identified asa high-risk area following the recent fires.Residents are already vigilant about fire haz-

ards and we welcome all interested partiesand organisations to get involved in this ini-tiative.”The training is available for residents in

cial. Residents will provide a rapid responseand supplement the fire services resources.I want to encourage residents to be part of

the team and take responsibility when firesoccur,” she says.The training includes an overview of the

fires in the current fire season, how firespreads and how homeowners can protecttheir homes.The training also covers the importance of

establishing and protecting fire breaks, com-munication procedures during fires and thedifferent types of fire equipment used to ex-tinguish fires. There is also a demonstrationon the proper use of this equipment.V For more information call the South Peninsula Sub-council office on 021 784 2000.

Police to searchfor baboon killerNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A baboon has been fatally shot by a pelletgun in Da Gama Park outside Simon’s

Town.The City of Cape Town’s baboon technical

team has confirmed a young male baboonwas shot at the Bluefin Court flats, whichis a South African Navy staff residence.

The shooting on Sunday 14 February isthe third such incident in three months.Two pellet gun shootings took place a weekapart in Scarborough during December lastyear.

The killed baboon was transported to theCape of Good Hope SPCA. An autopsy hasbeen conducted. A docket will be put togeth-er for submission to Simon’s Town PoliceStation for prosecution under the AnimalProtection Act.

It is illegal to discharge a pellet gun in anurban area and baboons are a protected spe-cies in the Western Cape, in terms of theCape Nature Conservation Laws Amend-ment Act.

Animal welfare organisations condemnthe use of pellet guns on animals as shootinga baboon with a pellet gun causes pain andwill rarely kill the animal.

Johan van der Merwe, Mayco member forenergy, environmental and spatial plan-ning, also says in a statement it is illegal tofeed baboons; to poison, trap, hurt or kill ababoon by driving with the intent to kill; tohunt by shooting at baboons using a pelletgun, catapult, bow and arrow, stoning, set-ting your dog on them or using a weaponof any kind to injure a baboon; or to keepa baboon in captivity without a permit. Allthese offences are punishable by law andcarry stiff penalties.

Chacma baboons form part of the Penin-sula’s rich biodiversity and they play a po-tentially significant ecological role in theCape floristic region.

Under current management pro-grammes, the Peninsula baboon populationis growing steadily and is neither endan-gered nor under threat.V Anyone with information regarding the shootingcan call the baboon hotline on 071 588 6540.

Learn the local seas at clubhouseLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Did you know that the fountainat the end of Adderley Street

used to be at the end of the har-bour’s pier? How about the factthat the harbour’s current contain-er basin was built using sandpumped from Flamingo Vlei?

These are just some of the factsyou’ll learn during a short visit tothe Ship Society of South Africa.

Focused on preserving the mari-time heritage of Cape Town, the so-ciety has become a place for people

interested in the shipping world toshare and learn.

The society’s chairperson, Ge-orge Hendrie, explains that thegroup was started in 1953.

The society slowly evolved untilthe 1970s when it became instru-mental in saving the Waterfront’sClock Tower, which was the socie-ty’s museum.

While the maritime museum,which used to be in the buildingwhere the Waterfront’s Watershedis now, was closed down some timeago, the society’s clubhouse in theharbour, opposite the cruise termi-

nal, houses boat models, postersand maritime literature fromaround the world.

Only one of its models is housedat the Maritime Centre in the oldUnion Castle building.

Many of the models were madeby shipping companies.

“Quite a few of these started outlife in shop windows for the travelagents in the old days.”

Many Ship Society members,like Hendrie himself, are formerseamen, but others haven’t been to

sea.“They’re just interested in ships

and shipping; that’s what it’s allabout.”

The members meet every Thurs-day evening for screenings of mari-time documentaries and films andonce a month they try to present aguest speaker. Visitors are wel-come to join in at a cost of R25.

Occasionally the society arran-ges ship visits – from cruise linersto dredgers. They even visitedCape Town International Airport’s

control tower recently.The clubhouse is also open on

Saturdays from 16:00, when visi-tors can come and chat to the mem-bers and learn more about CapeTown’s shipping world. Hendriesays he’d prefer maritime enthusi-asts to see what they do before sign-ing up as a member.V For more information contact Hendrie on072 647 7944 or [email protected] orPat Downing on 072 603 5904,021 557 5519 or [email protected].

One of the maps hanging in the Ship Society’s clubhouse shows how much of Cape Town’s foreshore is built onreclaimed land. The line above the castle is where the shoreline used to be.

EDUCATION

Good studentto greatFebruary has arrived, and parents arebreathing a sigh of relief – exams are over,children are registered and the academicyear has begun.Routine has established itself, with early

rising, treasure hunts for clean schoolshirts and finger-waving exercises in themorning traffic.Now is the time to settle the household.

Balancing life, work and extramural activi-ties is no easy task.Yes, the social and soft skills we gain

from teamwork in sports and extramuralactivities doplay avital role in our develop-ment as fully rounded, well-adjusted, pro-ductive and caring contributors to ourworld, but we must prioritise academics.There is so much value in teaching our

children to cope with the demands ofschool, authority, routine and exams. Isn’tthat what we deal with on a daily basis atwork? We have to arrive on time; we haveprojects to complete and deadlines to meet.Life lessons start in the home. Sowhy not

instil some strategies that will help yourchildrenmanage thedemandson their timeand reduce daily stress in their lives andyours? To get you started, here are a fewwell-tried suggestions.1: Breakfast: the most important meal ofthe day. It will help with concentration andenergy levels throughout the day.2: Time management and planning: getorganised. Between homework, tests andextracurricular activities, it is all too easyfor things to slip through the cracks. Aplanner can help your child keep every-thing organised. Students should writedownassignments, appointments and to-dolists. Ask him to review items in the plan-ner at the beginning and end of the day.3: Designate a study area. Studying infront of the TVwon’t be the best use of yourchild’s time. Help your child by providinga quiet, well-lit, low-traffic space for study.Take it one step further and institute a“communications blackout” policywith nocellphones allowed.4: App tip: embrace and make technologywork for you. Any.do helps organise tasksand keeps your academic life in one place.Students can use the app to capture ideasand to-do lists and to collaboratewith class-mates. Parents can use it to keep familyprojects on track.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVETCollege.

Thanks for helping

We thank you for your help forthe less fortunate. Helping young-sters change their lives andimprove their situation makes usall “proudly South African”.We have received a good re-

sponse from the post you pub-lished in People’s Post last month.We strive to empower our youth

to become active and responsiblecitizens. Generosity enables theSalesian Institute’s youth projectsto continue to work with thevulnerable youth of Cape Town.

Skater will cost youOn Monday morning my daughter wastaking her children to school alongRecreation Road. When she sloweddown at the circle of the intersectionbetween 10th Avenue and RecreationRoad a skateboarder hit the front sidebonnet.Obviously she braked but contact was

made. She was traumatised and laterbroke down. He asked her if she wasalright and then skated off towardsMain Road, Fish Hoek. Now we are leftwith an account to pay for a newbonnet.We have a witness to his actions

resulting in the accident and I haveseen this particular individual skatingdown Recreation Road regularly.I had thought to myself that he was

really looking to be involved in anaccident because of his reckless anddangerous actions on and off thepavements and lo and behold it hap-pened. He was lucky that he was notseverely injured and that my daughterand her two children were not hurt. Ifyou see him take extra care, he couldcost you some money.

WINSTON FRYER,Fish Hoek

Ocean View took the bruntWith all the requests for land, resourcesand money around the Far South, Iwish to remind us all of the following.Close on 50 years ago, a very largenumber of people were forcibly removedfrom Simon’s Town, Glencairn, Noord-hoek and even where Masiphumelele istoday.They were then dumped in a sandy

piece of ground called Slangkop, whichtoday is called Ocean View. The apart-heid government placed several “plank-ie” (prefabricated) buildings withasbestos roofs in the area to providespace for schooling. A small clinic wasbuilt and also a small “plankie” policestation. Hundreds of families still are on

the waiting list for housing. It must benoted that those same buildings are stillused today. One primary school had itslast major work done in 1980.It would appear that not one single

government since the dawn of apartheidhas planned and spent large amounts ofmoney on uplifting Ocean View.I would like us to prioritise Ocean

View above all other communities inthe Far South.After all, this is a legacy of that dark

time called apartheid and it is onlyright that those injustices are quicklyaddressed.

JOHANN KIKILLUS,Soteria Ministries

Well done, UIFI can’t agree with Pat Manwaring. Iwent to the UIF office in Athlone and Imust say we were treated very well. Aswith all government departments thereare queues.But I must point out that thestaff at Athlone office treated everyonewith the utmost respect. At one stagethey offered me a chair to sit on whilewaiting for the doors to open.I was always given a date when to go

in and sign and also how much I wouldreceive that Friday (pay day).They always put the date on the form

which you fill in for your next signdate. I must thank the staff of theAthone UIF office for a job well done.

Cyclists and pedestrians can start usingthe south side of Chapman’s Peak

Drive again.Restrictions were imposed on cyclists

and pedestrians after massive firesacross the Cape Peninsula in March lastyear. The fires destroyed the vegetationabove the road and increased the risk ofrock and stone falls to an unacceptablelevel.Almost a year later, the vegetation has

recovered sufficiently to have stabilisedthe slope.Entilini Operations, the company that

holds the management concession, hasinstalled fine mesh fences to stop smallrocks and stones from falling onto theroad.Although the safetyhazardhas reduced

sufficiently for the road to be opened tocyclists and pedestrians, Chapman’sPeak Drive will always be prone to rockfalls. Standard road closure procedureswill be applied whenever there is a safety

hazard, including car crashes and ex-treme weather conditions.“Chappies” is one of the most popular

cycling routes in Cape Town. It has beenfrustrating for cyclists to have to turnback at the lookout point. There havebeenmore cyclists onConstantiaNek,OuKaapse Weg, False Bay Main Road andBoyes Drive as riders used other routesaround the Peninsula.Robert Vogel, CEO of the Pedal Power

Association, says the additional safetymeasures are greatly appreciated.“We are very pleased that Chapman’s

Peak Drive is once again open to cyclists,as this is the premier training route forthe upcoming Cape Town Cycle Tour. Cy-clists want to train on the actual raceroute as much as possible,” he says.Motorists may not pass within 1m of a

cyclist. Cyclists must ride in single file.Being considerate is an essential part ofsharing the road and enhancing the safe-ty of all road users.

Chappies open tocyclists, walkers

Junction Roversoverwhelm Hout BayJOSEPH PILLAY

Junction Rovers gave their ardent sup-porters from Heideveld something tosmile about during their 3-0 victory over

Hout Bay United at the Hout Bay Stadiumthis weekend.

It was a win that brought joy to JunctionRovers’ loyal fans but also to the players,who were determined to burn the midnightoil on the eve of the big examination.

This after the Heideveld side suffered ashock 2-1 away defeat last week at the handsof Two Oceans Academy in Bellville.

However, the much-needed three pointsfrom their 3-0 challenge against the HoutBay outfit has enabled Junction Rovers tomove up two places. They currently occupythird spot in the Safa Cape Town regionalSAB League competition.

Junction Rovers, having played 15 match-es to date, have accumulated 27 points. Witha better goal difference they overshadowedBonteheuwel-based South End, which is al-

so on 27 points and occupies the third spot.The Heideveld team made their inten-

tions very clear from the outset. In fact, theymeant business and took their crafty attack-ing style to their opponents, scoring goalson either side of the goalpost.

Two of several u.21 players in the Junc-tion Rovers side once again proved to be apain in the neck of defences as they mesmer-ised their opponents with their dribblingskills and deft touches.

Niyaaz Daniels showed great potentialand has the makings of a five-star soccerplayer. He scored a brace that gave JunctionRovers a 2-0 cushion at the half-time break.

Shafiek Daniels rose to the occasion insimilar fashion. He fired in goal numberthree from close range.

Liam Matthews, another fine goalkeeperin the making, was equal to the task andpulled off some great saves to secure a cleansheet.

Meanwhile, Mitchell’s Plain side BayhillUnited continued to make steady progress

up the ladder and are currently in sixth po-sition with 24 points.

This, after Bayhill United beat Spice forLife 3-1 at the Rocklands sports complex onSaturday.

Rebels from Khayelitsha are not throwingin the towel in their challenge for leaguehonours. Their 4-0 away win against SilverSpurs at Hickory Road has put them in thepound seats. They jointly occupy the topspot with Jomo Power on 32 points from 15games apiece.

Jomo Power was held to a 2-2 draw againstShockwaves, while South End, after a stringof match-winning results, were broughtdown to their knees while suffering a 2-1away defeat against Jumbo Giants at theDunoon sports complex.V Results: Junction Rovers 3, Hout Bay United 0; Jum-bo Giants 2, South End 1; Bayhill United 3, Spice ForLife 1; Shockwaves 2, Jomo Power 2; UWC 0, RiversideRangers 0; Rebels 4, Silver Spurs 0; Two Oceans Acad-emy 3, Battswood 1; D&G Orient 0, Bellstar United0.

UWC is at the forefront of taking wom-en’s soccer to the next level with theintroduction of the UWC Women’sPre-season Challenge Cup.

The exiting new tournament willtake place at the UWC sports fieldsfrom 11 to 13 March.

This tournament sets the platformfor coaches and teams to preparethemselves for the upcoming season.

Nathan Peskin, head coach of theUWC Women’s Football Club, is thedriving force behind the tournament.

“There is a tremendous abundanceof talent in the Western Cape that goesunnoticed due to the unavailability ofa serious platform where the talentand potential can be unearthed.

Inclusive“It’s an opportunity for everyone,

including high schools, communityclubs and registered clubs, to partici-pate. So it’s inclusive of all spheres ofthe soccer spectrum.

“The tournament will provide amuch-needed platform for talent iden-tification from junior u.15 level to sen-ior women. It offers opportunities forpossible allocation of scholarshipsfrom universities through to nationaland provincial team scouting,” hesays.

It is hoped that this tournament willbecome an annual fixture and becomeas popular as the Bayhill tournamentfor boys.

The tournament will consist of 16teams divided into four groups andwill be played on a round robin basisin the first round. The top two teamsof each group will advance to the finalstages.

Some of the top teams that competein the national Safa Sasol League willbe the drawcards of the tournament.They include Spurs Ladies, KnightsLadies, Dangerous Heroes, Milano La-dies and Cape Town Roses, who wonthe national play-offs in 2014 and werethe beaten finalists at the same compe-tition last year.

UWC will also be serious contendersafter they finished in the top five of theSasol League for the last three years.They are rated in the top four amonguniversities in the country.

They also ended as runners-up inthe Varsity Football Tournament lastyear.

Sponsors who would like to come onboard and help make this tournamenta success can contact Peskin on076 030 1539 or [email protected].
