This a joint initiative between the po- lice and missing children organisation, the Pink Ladies, and is being piloted in the Nyanga police cluster which includes the Athlone, Lansdowne, Manenberg, Nyanga, Philippi, Gugulethu and Philip- pi East policing precincts. Constable Zita Norman, spokesperson for the Athlone police, says although they do not have many children disappearing in the precinct, the initiative will be of great help especially when toddlers and primary school learners vanish. As part of the project, police officers and Pink Ladies volunteers will be visit- ing schools to fingerprint them as well as document vital details such as eye colour and allergies. “The routine is that we print the certifi- cate, do the finger prints and give it to the parents or the school to put a recent photo on it and also laminate it for safe keeping like any other identity document,” says Pink Ladies director Dessie Rechner. To date, 2 289 children – mostly Grade R learners – have been documented, in- cluding learners from Belgravia Daycare Centre and Bokmakierie Primary School. Rechner believes the issuing of these certificates to parents is a vital part of the process. “There are far too many deadbeats out there and the question is always how fast can you access it when a child goes miss- ing.” The provincial education department’s spokesperson Paddy Attwell says the de- partment sees this as a forward-thinking initiative. “We welcome any initiative that assists in ensuring the safety and security of our children. The department’s Safe Schools programme will assist such initiatives wherever possible,” Attwell says. According to Shareen Isaacs of Belgra- via Daycare Centre, her learners are still talking about the police’s visit to their school. “We spoke to the kids about stranger danger and explained that the police are coming to take their fingerprints in case they go missing. I must say the children were very co-operative and even sang songs with the police,” says Isaacs. The daycare has 55 learners, aged be- tween one and six years. Bronwyn Schilder, a Grade R teacher at Bokmakierie Primary School, says she believes this is an excellent initiative as it also allows children to become more aware of their safety. Her 37 learners have already been fin- gerprinted and certified. Rechner has called on parents to assist the police where possible in fingerprint- ing children so the process can be com- pleted as soon as possible. “This is, after all, a community policing project. Wherever parents have their children at a school, go and tell the head- master about it and ask them to approach the nearest police station and offer assist- ance,” she says. Fellow missing children’s organisa- tion, Missing Children South Africa, has welcomed the initiative. “We believe these certificates will be ex- tremely useful when children go missing as parents often forget important de- tails when they are in a state of shock. To have this information readily avail- able will speed up the process of find- ing the children tremendously,” the organisation’s Judy Olivier says.

Dear reader,
Spring offers a chance for new begin-nings, like a second New Year – ninemonths later.
Along with some welcome sunshine tocomplement spring cleaning of house,body and soul, comes a time to dust awaythe winter cobwebs, reflect and commitafresh.
I beganmycommitment to amorephysi-cally active lifestyle by getting up anddancing, albeit a bit stiffly, at theLansdowne Sectors 1, 2 and 3 CommunityPoliceForum’s SpringBall last Friday; fol-lowing this upwithmore applied, energet-ic moves at a teenage party the next day.
My teenage great niece refused to joinme, a few four year olds and several teenyboppers as we made the circle bigger atthis family event. Aside from eye contactwith the taller teens, whose moves I at-tempted to copy, nobody seemed to carethat an aunt was “in the house”.
What truly impressed me though wasthe vigour displayed at the spring ball byMark Kleinschmidt, chairperson of theKenwyn Safety and Securityand Ratepayers and CivicAssociation.
Part of the evening’s pro-ceedings included the hand-ing over of a sponsored Peo-ple’s Post bicycle to the asso-ciation. I was in awe whenMark hopped on the newbike, taking it for a spinaround the hall.
That’s the beauty of livinglife in the present.
As adults, we’re too preoc-cupied with doing the “rightthing”, our image and oth-ers’ perception of us. Somuch so that we forget to relish the joyfulmoments.
My insightful weekend culminatedwithobserving the care and patience my dad
shows my mom. This has not wavered inthe two years she has been livingwith can-cer. A relationship of this quality is the re-
sult of decades of together-ness, unconditional accept-ance and understanding.
This brings me to my re-solve to enhance my under-standing of among others,different faiths, beginningwith the Jewish holiday ofRosh Hashanah.
I acquired some informa-tion from the internet as fol-lows: “A day of judgmentand coronation, the festivalof Rosh Hashanah is the an-niversary of the creation ofAdam and Eve and is ob-served for two days begin-
ning on 1 Tishrei, the first day of the Jew-ish year.”
This year, Rosh Hashanah begins theevening of Sunday 16 September and ends
the evening of Tuesday 18 September.“RoshHashanah emphasises the special
relationship between God and humanity.It is also the anniversary of man’s first sinand his repentance thereof, and serves asthe first of the “Ten Days of Repentance”which culminates in YomKippur, the Dayof Atonement.”
Some Rosh Hashanah observances in-clude eating a piece of apple dipped in hon-ey, to symbolise “our desire for a sweetyear” and blessing one another with thewords “Leshanah tovah tikateiv vetei-chateim (May you be inscribed and sealedfor a good year).”People’s Postwishes all our Jewish read-
ers and clients a blessed Rosh Hashanah.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by

THECapeMetroHealthForumhas lashedout at the provincial government’s deci-sion to close GF Jooste Hospital, describ-ing the move as “unrealistic”.
The current building will be demolishedand rebuilt and the upgrade is expected tocommence in March.
The overhaul of the 36-year-old buildingwill cost government about R550 million.
Jooste initially served as a convalescenthome until it was turned into an acute hospi-tal in 1996.
currently not the case. It will further supportthe primary healthcare facilities within theKlipfontein sub-district.
“While the hospital will have significantspecialist presence, patients requiring spe-cialised care will be referred to Groote Schu-ur and Red Cross hospitals,” provincialhealth spokesperson Faiza Steyn says.
“The new Mitchell’s Plain Hospital isreaching its final stages of completion andwill be commissioned in early 2013. This hos-pital will accommodate the hospital servicescurrently provided at Jooste for the period ofrebuilding.”
But Damaris Fritz-Kiewitz, chairperson of
the Cape Metro Health Forum, argues theseplans are “unrealistic”. “There is no wayGroote Schuur,Mitchell’s Plain and the otherhospitals will be able to absorb Jooste’s pa-tients during the closure. Whoever decidedon this closure clearly did not think itthrough first,” Fritz-Kiewitz says.
The health department says it will informthe surrounding communities of the implica-tions of the closure to rebuild Jooste, andmake suitable arrangements for healthcarein these communities.
“The shortfall in beds caused by the closureof Jooste will be offset by opening additionalbeds atGroote SchuurHospital, an additional
30 beds adjacent to the new Emergency Cen-tre at Heideveld and beds at the new Interme-diate Care facility at Lentegeur, which is dueto open in September,” Steyn says.People’s Post has previously reported that
some residents where infuriated at the ideaof having to travel toMitchell’s Plain formed-ical care (“Jooste to be demolished”, 19 Sep-tember).
Red flag raised over closure
It currently has astaff complement of531, of whom thereare 75 medical offic-ers and specialists.
The provincial De-partment of Healthsays it has contin-gency plans in placeto accommodate pa-tients usually serv-iced by Jooste whilethe hospital is re-built between 2013and 2016.
According to thedepartment, patientswill be able to access24-hour emergencymedical care at theHanoverPark,Gugu-lethu and HeideveldCommunity Health-care Centres.
The new hospitalwill provide a fullrange of hospitalservices, which is

A PENSIONER from Pinati Estate isreeling in shock after a woman claimingto know her daughter recently connedher out of R1 500.
The pensioner, who wished not to benamed, says she was on her way to the bath-room when a blonde woman wearing aheadscarf knocked at her door.
“She said she is actually looking for mydaughter because my daughter bought bed-ding from her and she needed her pay-ment,” the victim explains.
The woman then claimed she had gottena lift to the victim’s house.
“I even told her to come in and have a seatwhile I go and see how much money I haveto give her. She made as if she was callingmy daughter and “spoke” to her on thephone as I counted the money and every-thing,” she says.
After the con woman left, the victimcalled her daughter who was shocked aboutthe turn of events. “When I realised I hadbeen conned I went blind with anger. I hadcollected my pension the previous day andbasically gave it all to this woman,” shesays.
The victim says she is however gratefulthat she celebrated her birthday shortly af-ter the incident and was given monetarygifts. “The gifts at least made up R900 so Ican make it through the month,” she says.
The victim’s sister, who lives in Ronde-bosch East, is livid. “How can people be socruel? My sister is a pensioner and they(pensioners) already struggle to make endsmeet,” she fumes.
Constable Nkululeko Mnyaka, thespokesperson for Lansdowne police, sayssuch incidents are not uncommon in the ar-ea but often people do not report such mat-ters.
“We found that the perpetrators oftentarget domestic workers. They pretend tohave been sent by the homeowners to takemeasurements for blinds or curtains andthen rob the house,” Mnyaka says.
He advises people not to allow strangersinto their homes and to request identifica-tion where possible.
“If the domestic worker is alone at homeshe should call the home owner to verifythat they have someone coming to thehome for that purpose.”
He says residents must also double checkwith their family members personally be-fore allowing strangers into their homes.

The Qur’an is Islam’s holy text whichMuslims believe comprises the words ofGod.
It is memorised and recited globally.The sixth annual National Qur’an
Awards seeks to raise the level of thememorisation and recitation of theQur’an.
It will be held at the Maitland Mosquefrom Friday 21 to Sunday 23 September.People’s Post is the competition’s printmedia sponsor.
In the run-up to the competition inter-national qaris will start reciting theQur’an at public gatherings from Mon-day 17 September.
The competition is divided into threesections:
. Junior category for participantsyounger than 18;
. Middle category for participantsaged 19 to 25 and;
. Senior category for participants old-er than 26.
Haafidh Muntahaa Kenny, the chair-
person of the South African Qur’an Un-ion (SAQU), says the event “serves as en-couragement for individuals to improve,promote and maintain high levels ofQur’anic learning and service”.
“It also trains and earmarks successfulcandidates for international platforms,”he says.
Kenny says a Servant of the HolyQur’an Award, which is the only of itskind in the country, will also be awardedat the event.
Sheikh Moosa Goder, head of theJam’eyyatul Qurra’ Institute in Schaap-kraal, won this award last year.
Kenny adds the organisation considersa number of criteria when deciding on awinner for this award.
“The remarkable strive and determi-nation of Sheikh Moosa Goder allowedhim to serve the holy Qur’an and theMuslim community, as a Qur’an lover ofrepute, a remarkable propagator of theQur’an, and a leader of a noteworthystandard,” says Kenny.
SAQU calls on all interested persons toenter this year’s competition.

THEWesternCapeCPFBoard says thepolice alone cannot be blamed for thelow conviction rate of criminals in theprovince.
This was in response to a statement bythe provincial minister of CommunitySafety, Dan Plato, in which he describedconviction rates in areas such as Manen-berg andHanoverParkas “shocking” and“disastrous”.According to information Plato’s office
received from the national Department ofJustice and Constitutional Development,no convictions have been secured out ofthe 87 cases of gang-related murder andattemptedmurder cases inHanoverPark.The information provided to Plato fur-
ther shows that out of 197 cases of murderregistered at the Philippi Police Stationsince 2007 there have only been 35 convic-tions.“This is a disastrous 17.7% success ra-
tio over five years,” Plato saysHe says the conviction rate in the Bish-
op Lavis policing precinct is “disturbing-ly less than 10%” in the last five years.Since 2007, police referred 1469 murder
cases to from theHanoverPark,LavenderHill, Elsies River, Manenberg and BishopLavis areas to the National ProsecutingAuthority of which only 921 prosecutionswere finalised, and 174 of these cases re-sulted in defendants being convicted.“Clearly there is a lack of quality evi-
dence being collected by the police to se-
cure these convictions,” Plato said.But Hanif Loonat, the chairperson of
the provincial CPF board, says althoughthepolice shouldaccept someresponsibil-ity for the statistics, there are other roleplayers who also need to be considered.“We acknowledge, in some cases, there
is sloppy detective work and you find acase is thrownout of court because the ev-idence was not collected properly, or wit-nesses were not told to be present incourt,” Loonat says.“You must place blame on more than
just the police. Conviction rates are alsoin thehands of the community and theDe-partment of Community Safety must,however, also acknowledge their role ineducating the community via the CPF onthe role they must play.”Loonat says the community needs to be
trained in how to monitor the police intheir area and also be educated as to theprotection the government can providewitnesses in criminal cases.Kader Jacobs, the chairperson of the
Manenberg CPF, agrees with Loonat andsaysmany gangsters involved inmurdersare not prosecuted becausewitnesses fearfor their lives. “Weneed to educate peopleabout the importance of seeing a courtcase through and how important it is forthem to provide evidence or testimoniesso that criminals can be prosecuted.Many victims of crime either withdrawthe charges against their perpetrators orthey just don’t pitch up at court to testifybecause they are intimidated by the ac-cused,” Jacobs says.

That’s thebestway todescribe the relation-ship between Pastor Napoleon Delport andhis wife, Ivy. They are both 82.
The couple celebrated their 60th weddinganniversary at their Belgravia home.
Both grew up in Greyton in the Overbergregion and knew each other as children, butonly met when Ivy came to Cape Town 60years ago.
“She wrote me a letter telling me she washere and five months later we got married.I amtruly grateful tohaveawifewhohas sup-ported me throughout the years,” he says.
He spent nearly three decades ministeringat theApostolic FaithMissionChurch in SaltRiver and says one’s knees are the secret toa successful marriage.
“Whenever we call on God’s name He iswilling to answer. God is the only one whocan give us strength andHe loves people wholove one another for His sake,” he says.
Ivy had a stroke about two years ago andhas since been unable to speak, but her hus-band says her illness has been a wonderfulgift for him as it has given him a chance torepay her for the years of nurturing and car-egiving she provided him and their children.
“I love her verymuch and I cannot imaginemy life without her. Shewas always there forme during the hard times and we have neverhad an argument,” he says.
He explains that after his father died, Ivyinsisted on sendingmoney to hismother eve-ry month so that she did not have to fend forherself.
“That just shows the type of person my Ivyis,” he says.
The couple are the parents of six children,all of whom are married.

Worthy projectDISCOVERING your child has gone missingcould be the beginning of a nightmare for anyparent. An initiative between the police andPink Ladies, an organisation established tohelp find lost children, aims to speed up trac-ing missing children.The joint initiative is to fingerprint chil-
dren at schools and in daycare centres.The project has been piloted in the Nyanga
police cluster, which includes the Athlone,Lansdowne, Manenberg, Nyanga, Philippi,Gugulethu and Philippi East policing pre-cincts.The fingerprinting will go a long way to-
ward assisting police and parents of missingchildren to closing cases and returning suchchildren to their homes or places of safety.The reality is that children often stray from
safety – their homes, the daycare centres andduring family outings. First Aid points at hol-iday destinations often become an impromp-tu place of safety for children who had wan-dered from their families.A parent reunited with a child who had
wanderedoff is thehappyendingweallwouldwelcome. The other end of the divide is a veryreal fear.It brings tomind themisery left in thewake
of the Station Strangler, who terrorised theCape Flats between 1986 and 1994. The bodiesof 22 boys were found face down in shallowgraves in the dunes of Mitchell’s Plain. Theirhands were tied behind their backs.Norman Afzal Simons, a teacher, was ar-
rested and found guilty on one count of mur-der. The fingerprinting project will also cap-ture eye colour and allergies, with each childreceiving a certificate which can accommo-date a recent photograph.It bears questioning why such a simple, yet
very necessary project, has taken so long toget off the ground. There is merit to the annu-al school photographs which stand in familylounges. These photoswill be a vital accompa-niment to the fingerprint certificates.Each child in South Africa should have
such a certificate.
MYDEEPESTcondolences goesout to the families and friendswho lost their loved ones in theMarikana massacre at LonminPlatinum Mine.It is unfortunate that the
hasty minds compares thesekillings to the revolutionaryatrocities. Judging from thefootage of the events, onewouldn’t rush to point fingersat our police on the scene.How on earthwould they con-
trol such unruly crowd?Prior to the turn of events
two policemen were killed andsome critically injured in a sav-age manner, hacked with pan-gas, axes and knob kieries.I’m yet to be corrected on
whether that’s whatwe call pro-
testing?It is becoming a habit in
Mzansi for strikers to turn vio-lent – damaging our communityproperties like schools and hos-pitals.It is my view that the police
have anobligation to respond indirect proportion to the dangerat hand and that every citizenhas an obligation to carry him-self peacefully when engagingin open protest or strikes.It is a welcome idea for an in-
dependent investigation to takeplace to establish the cause ofwhat lead our men in uniformto use maximum force in sucha complex situation.LUSHA MTHIMBAManenberg

.With all due respect to thenames of anti-apartheid stal-warts and their honour, surelyall that struggle and bloodshedwas not to stroke egos and theirpockets, but to grow a new andfree nation. There are previous-ly disadvantaged areas withschools being closed, unsup-ported orphanages, homelessand jobless people. Surely theobscene amount of money wast-ed on changing the names ofroads and buildings should gotowards helping those who suf-fered in the struggle. I trulyhope the name changing com-motion can sleep soundly atnight, knowing there are chil-dren out there with no hope,food or shelter, while you’retucked in bed with a full tummydreaming what road name tochange again.

Readers split on vigilantism revivalDON’TDON’T BEBE STUPID:STUPID:Tshepo Leboko sayspeople who take thelaw into their ownhands often find them-selves behind bars,while the suspectedguilty party is free. “Itis never good to get vi-olent, even if you thinkthere is a reason. Peo-ple should let the po-lice do their jobs. Thatis what they get paidfor.”
VIGILANTISM is back on the block,cropping up in communities acrossCapeTown.But should citizens take thelaw into their own hands?People’s Postreaders share their views with Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini.
DIFFICULDIFFICULT:T: Lau-ren Heberdenfeels there is noreason why peo-ple should notbe able to sortout their owndifferences.“For some situ-ations you cantake the law in-to your hands,as long as it isdone without vi-olence.”
ABSENTABSENT AUTHORI-AUTHORI-TIES:TIES: Olivia Pougnetsays disputes shouldbe left to the authori-ties to deal with. How-ever, she says, the po-lice often take too longto respond to com-plaints, forcing thecommunity to deal withcriminals. “Sometimespeople take the law in-to their own hands toget something done.”
WWASTEASTE OFOF TIME:TIME: Ab-dul-Wahaab Kennedythinks the police arethe reason communi-ties take the law intotheir own hands. Hethinks there is nothingwrong with vigilant-ism. “It’s right. Com-munities should takethe law into their ownhands, because thepolice take their owntime to respond.”
ENOUGH:ENOUGH: Melissa-Lee Williams hasempathy for com-munities that suf-fer owing to crime.She says peoplecan’t always de-pend on police tofix the situation.“Communities aretired of crime andthe police aren’tdoing their work.”
LESSONLESSONLEARNT:LEARNT:Andile Nqekezafeels mob jus-tice is the rightway to get peo-ple to listenand curb re-peat offenders.“Criminals al-ways comeback after be-ing arrested, soif they are beat-en they willlearn a lesson.”
JUSTICE:JUSTICE: Cindy Par-sons says whensomeone is caughtin the act, the com-munity needs totake action as thepolice take long torespond. “If thecommunity catchessomeone, a beatingis suitable. Youwork hard for yourstuff; nobody hasthe right to take it.”

FINALLY WE HAVE THIS
GREAT MAN OF POWER
Hello readers, my name is Pastor Phillip, a
leader of a congregation in the Western cape. I
thank God for giving us the wisdom and faith
and also protecting us in this harsh world and
protecting ourfamilies and loved ones. I am
writing in reaction to some fellow Christians
who react negatively towards our fellow
brothers and sisters who in one way or the
other are healing people though spiritually or
traditinally. We should appreciate the work
being done by all of us either spritually or
traditionally. In this case I am specifically
talking about Dr Ezera, who is a true spiritual
and traditionlist. There is nothing wrong with
his work. He has changed people’s lives
throughout the world hes has brought our
sisters and brothers from low levels to become
respected citizens. He has brought men and
women who were drug addicts, drukards and
prostitutes to find purpose in there lives of
which many had failed to heal them.
Dr Ezera has been to many community
centres talking to the destitute and donating to
communities that are struggling and suffering
and trying to empower these communities
and giving courage to the homeless and
desparate respectively. He moves from area to
area praying and donating to the sick.
Healers are very important but sometimes
the Lord sends people like Dr Ezera to deliver
us in this harsh world and we should
acknowledge his presence and the power he
has.
Therefore say to Dr Ezera, please keep up
the good work and do not let the words of
anyone deter you form your course let your
courage and intelligence help more people.

Countdown to surfing festCountdownCountdown toto surfingsurfing festfestPAUL BOTHA
CREATED in 2007 by Kommetjie-basedKahuna Promotions, the EarthwaveBeach Festival showcases the broad ap-peal of the beach and surfing lifestyle,promotes environmental awareness andsustainable lifestyle options that reduceour impact on climate change and raisesawareness and funds for worthy causes.
Building on the interest generated byworld record attempts, the annual festivalhas grown into a two-day multi-sport eventthat attracts crowds of participants and spec-tators to Muizenberg Beach, recently ac-knowledged by National Geographic as oneof the 20 top surfing towns on the planet.
This year the BOS Earthwave Beach Festi-val is scheduled for the weekend Saturday 29and Sunday 30 September, and will featuremultiple world record attempts for the firsttime.
Not onlywill hundreds of local surfers pad-dle out on the Sunday to try and break theGuinnessWorld Record for the “most surfersriding the same wave” – currently 110 set atEarthwave 2009 – but they will also attemptto set a new record for the “longest line ofsurfboards on a beach” the Saturday.
The record-breaking attempts take place
alongside the Surf Emporium WP Inter-Schools Championships, the New BalanceWP Longboard Champs and the exciting newSimilasan Tandem Surfing Championships,where a man and a woman perform trickswhile riding the same surfboard.
There is also the Coreban SUP Classic forStand Up Paddleboards and Surfskis, theBOS Dig for Gold treasure hunt, the People’sPost touch rugby tournament and free testingfor iron and glucose levels at the SpatoneFirst Aid Tent.
Exhibits and presentations by experts onenvironmental awareness and skincare arestaged in the giant marquee along with fund-raising for the Shark Spotters and the Sun-flower Fund. Demos of the latest Land Pad-ding and SUP equipment, free learn to surflessons, beach cleanups, and heaps of givea-ways and lucky draws will take place on thebeach.
And there will be Earthwave parties atRafikis in the city andBrassBell inKalkBay,where the official results of the world recordattempts will be announced on the Saturdayand Sunday evenings.
Look out for more information on the 2012BOS Earthwave Beach Festival in People’sPost, the print media partner, andwww.wavescape.co.za, the digital mediapartner.

CHRIS DU PONT was crownedCape Fight League light heavy-weight champion after beatingCraig Fourie at the WynbergMilitary base on Saturday.
Du Pont, who trains at Observ-atory gym Phoenix Muay Thaiand MMA, beat his Durban-basedopponent by technical knockoutjust minutes into the first round.
Both fighters came out of theircorners swinging, but Du Pontsoon fell back on to his wrestlingskills, searching for an opportu-nity to take the contest to theground.
After initially spending sometime with his back to the ground,Du Pont wrestled his way into afull mount and let loose a flurryof punches.
After the fight Du Pont said out-grappling his larger opponentwas always his tactic. “I’m feelinggood; I’m feeling fit. I could havegone on. I stuck to the game planand everything went well,” saidDu Pont.
“The game plan was to stickand move, out-wrestle him, gethim to the ground and use mydominant wrestling to win thefight.”
The victory was only Du Pont’ssecond in a professional fight,having won his first at the inau-gural Cape Fight League event inFebruary.
He expected Fourie, a more ex-perienced fighter with a reputa-tion as a heavy hitter, to packmore a punch. “I thought he was
going to hit a lot hard because ofhis stature. He hit quite hard, butI was able to wear it,” commentedDu Pont.
“I took two big knees and I wasable to wear those too. I just keptlooking for the take-down. I pur-sued it and I got it.”
The newly crowned king of thecage laid down a challenge to allMMA fighters to try to take his ti-tle.
The 13-contest fight card pro-duced several other moments ofaction, as amateurs and profes-sionals from around the countrybattled it out.
It started with a professionalK1 contest between Thaiholicsfighter Wade Hammond and Pan-ther MMA’s Mbouyi Adeba.
The fight went the full distanceand a tie-breaker round was need-ed to establish a winner after thethird round, with the fightersdead-locked on the same amountof points. Adeba was eventuallycrowned as the winner afterknocking down his opponenttwice in the fourth round.
In the evening’s other profes-sional K1 fights, TakedownMMA’s Lucky Mokate and NcedoGomba of Phoenix fought out adraw, while Cristiano Ndombas-sey knocked out Phoenix fighterKevin Pheko in a gruelling con-test.
The fight pitted Pheko’s ortho-dox Muay Thai style againstNdombassey’s powerful punches.Pheko dominated the contestwith his stinging low kicks, buteventually succumbed to a pow-erful left from Ndombassey.

AFTER fighting their way through a gruellingplay-off stage, 13 teams have finally booked theirplaces in the Engen Knockout Challenge finals.
Seven of those 13 sides qualified by winning theirgroups, and they will be joined in the finals by thesixth best runners-up in the play-off stages of the com-petition.The other three places at the tournament proper de-
fending champions Ajax Cape Town, PSL newcomersChippa United and host team Engen Santos.Bayhill United were one of the last sides to seal
their passage to the finals, finishing at the top ofgroup four after recording a win and a draw in theirtwo games.TheMitchell’s Plain teamdrew1-1withGreenwood
Athletic in their opening fixture and secured a nar-row victory over Bluegum United last Thursday.Adriaan Jansen, the team’s coach, was relieved his
sidehadqualified, blaming their uninspiredperform-ance on a lack of concentration. “I think we couldhave done much better. I know we trained hard. Butthere’s pressure on the boys, because they knowwhatthe game is all about. I’m not happy with the footballthey played, but I am very happy with the result,”says Jansen.Bayhill opened the scoring after only 30 seconds,
when striker Imraan Khan’s misdirected cross wasfumbled into the net by Bluegum goalkeeper MitchLingeveldt.They made several more visits into the final third,
but seldom managed to create clear-cut chances anddid not take goal-scoring opportunities which cametheir way.
Despite dominating the game, Bayhill were unableto make their possession and territory count, and thegame finished 1-0.Jansen ruled out the possibility that his players
may have lost focus because of the unfamiliar timeof the fixture and said he was confident they couldwin the competition.“This atmosphere is actually conducive to them
playing good football. They go through the motionson a Saturday or Sunday afternoon,” says Jansen.“This is something new, because they see it on TV;
they see the professionals playing at night. This isgood for them, because it gives them a little bit of ataste of that.In other fixtures on Thursday evening, Stars of Af-
rica beat Athlone side Jamestown United 1-0, whileVasco da Gama beat Ashford Athletic 2-0.The finals of the Engen Knockout Challenge will
take place at the Stephen Reagan Sports Complex inMitchell’s Plain from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 Septem-ber.The 16 teamswhowill play in the finals of theEngen
Knockout Challenge are: AjaxCT; ChippaUnited; En-gen Santos; Hellenic; CPUT Selesians; WoodlandsUnited; Bayhill United; Old Mutual ACA; Fire Fight-ers; Stars of Africa; Kuils River; Atlantic Nacional;Rygersdal; Heath Athletic; Vasco da Gama and Ken-park United.If one the 16 teams are unable to take part, either
Bluegum United, Jamestown United or GreenwoodAthletic will replace them.The launch and draw of the tournament is set to
take place on Thursday (13 September). The venue isyet to be confirmed.People’s Post is the media sponsor of the Engen
Knockout Challenge.
