RESIDENTS can look forwardto a new housing project in
Manenberg now that the City ofCape Town has identified suita-ble sites for the development.
The Manenberg Housing Projectwill cost nearly R80 million, andconsists of 555 homes and 96 Com-munity Residential Units (CRU).
The Community ResidentialUnits are popularly known as flats.“We are looking at 96 units of ap-proximately 53 to 56m² in three-sto-rey walk-up blocks,” says
Councillor Ernest Sonnenberg,Mayoral Committee Member forthe City of Cape Town’s Human Set-tlements. The free-standing homesconsist of two bedrooms, one livingroom and a bathroom.
Job creation is also on the cardswhen the construction of the hous-ing project commences. Thenumber of units may change duringthe ongoing environmental andtown planning processes. The unitsare scattered across five sites inManenberg.
. The first site is bounded by Ir-vine Crescent to the west, north andeast and Humber Street to thesouth.
. The second is bounded by Vy-giekraal Road, Downs Road and RioGrande Street.
. The third is bounded byLansdowne Road, VygieskraalRoad, Wye Road and ZwartkopsRoad.
. The fourth is bounded by a rail-way line and Duinefontein Road;and
. The fifth site is bounded byDowns Road, Tagus Way, Usk Roadand Downeville Primary.
Sonnenberg says the project aimsto develop units for beneficiarieswho qualify for the National Hous-ing Subsidy in terms of the Integrat-ed Residential Development Pro-gramme (IRDP).
“The installation of the serviceswill start in February 2012 and maytake 12 months, therefore work onthe top structure could commencein February 2013 and take 18months to complete. Thus the com-pletion date of the whole project isestimated at August 2014.
“Due to the need for developmentin central areas close to infrastruc-ture, public transport and ameni-ties, all vacant landconsidered tobepotentially suitable for develop-ment for the affordable housing seg-ment was investigated,” he says.
In terms of the City’s Densifica-tion Strategy, the densification ofthese sites needs to take place forthe following reasons:
.Density helps make betterneighbourhoods.
. It offers more housing choicesand accommodates different kindsof lifestyles.
.Density makes better use of theCity’s limited resources and cuts in-frastructure costs.
. It helps protect the environ-ment by concentratingpeople in theurban environment, meaning natu-
ral spaces and habitats are con-served.
. Density helps make betterneighbourhoods more safe, as thereare more “eyes and ears” on thestreets – “criminals prefer quiet,desolate places”.
.Density supports more trans-port options, because there areenough people to make publictransport viable.
. Density offers a better lifestylefor people who can’t drive, such aselderly, very young or disabled peo-ple; and
. Density builds communities,with better access to schools, work,parks and services.
. Local job creation is also in thepipeline when the building of thehousing project kicks off.
“During the installation of theservices and top structure, the con-tractor will prepare the designworking drawings and tender docu-mentation in accordance with theExpanded Public Works Pro-gramme (EPWP), which favours la-bour-intensive methods using locallabour,” says Sonnenberg.
“In this instance, local contrac-tors will have a fair chance to be em-ployed, and even trained once theproject is registered in the City’sEPWP Database.
“Thereafter the EPWP’s Depart-ment will track and monitor thisprocess monthly in conjunctionwith the City’s project manager,”says Steyn.
“The units will be handed over tothe beneficiaries as soon as the con-
tractor finishes the first batch ofhouses. Assuming that the topstructure will commence on Febru-ary 2013, the first beneficiaries maybe moved into the first units byJune 2013.” Sonnenberg says thebeneficiaries of the homes mustmeet the following criteria:
. They must be on the City’shousing waiting list.
. They must be South African cit-izens.
.They must earn less than R3 500per month.
. They cannot own any propertyprior to owning this home.
The City has already selected 500beneficiaries from the list who willbe go through a screening processto establish whether they meet thecriteria.

Saluting a legend in his timeANDRE BAKKES
RESPECTED and renowned sportsjournalist, Brian Gaffney (59), has
joined the big newsroom in the sky onTuesday, 25 July, after a month long ill-ness.
The affectionately named “Uncle Brian”will be sorely missed by family and friendsand his passing has left a big Brian Gaffneyshaped hole in community sport as a whole.
This determined, multi-award winning“walking encyclopaedia” has, after all,graced countless of touchlines and thousandsof back pages since 1970.
Dr Ivan Meyer, MEC of Cultural Affairs andSport, acknowledged that Brian played a“critical role” in promoting sport amongstthe people, particularly those living in theCape Flats.
“He was a tireless fighter and often fearlessin his quest to expose the wrongs in sport,”added Meyer.
Brian was born to accumulate a vast sumof knowledge and share it with people hecared about, so it comes as no surprise thatlong time friend Herman Gibbs said: “Hefound his niche in community newspapers.”
He was, first and foremost, a loving hus-band, father and grandfather.
His wife, Vanessa, has a hatful of fond mem-ories of their 24 years together. What will staywith her forever is how her “teddy bear” usedto spontaneously burst into his favouritesong, “I’m leaving, on a jet plane, don’t knowwhen I’ll be back again ...”
Before too long, a duet of perfect unity andunderstanding would permeate their world.
“Those were special moments,” she smiled.“We met on a sports field while I was play-
ing softball. He was a very good photogra-pher, because he ‘zoomed’ me in! It wasn’tlong before we were married.”
The two became four when Sasha (23) andCallan (19) were born and in 2009 the birthof Zarah made a grandfather of “Uncle Bri-an”.
Vanessa concedes that she also likes sport,but unlike her husband, she wasn’t “110% ob-sessed” with it.
“He never stopped talking about it. At 01:00in bed he would tell me that I’m good compa-ny and then continued talking about sport.”
This insatiable appetite for sport and a dili-gent pursuit of perfection in his chosen pro-fession meant he was destined for greatness.
The first editor of People’s Post, AnnelienDean, recognised these rare qualities imme-diately.
“I remember when I interviewed him in2006 for the position of sports journalist. Hehad an immense knowledge of the subjectand I felt a deep urge to bring him in,” shesaid.
It was a decision she never regretted. In2009 Brian was awarded the runner-up prizein the Sanlam National Community PressAwards in the sports writing category and in2010 he was awarded the Vodacom RegionalJournalist Award for his exposé titled, “NoSaints at all”.
Dean continued: “Having been able towork with him was a privilege. He was a con-summate gentleman with compelling author-ity.”
Brian’s good friend and People’s Post pho-tographer, Rashied Isaacs, said that this au-thority translated into respect.
“All the photographers at the World Cupknew him. Uncle Brian was like a daddy tous.”
Isaacs reckons the World Cup was a high-light for Brian. “I might think after a gamethat it was a boring draw, but he would ana-lyse it from a different perspective. He wasone of a kind. I lost a dear friend and mentor.”
Gilbert Kruger knew Brian for 30 years and
said he will always remember him for his“thoroughness and fairness”, his willingnessto assist someone in need and his constantpresence next to the sports fields.
Even though Brian and sport were synony-mous, acting editor of People’s Post, FerozaMiller-Isaacs, emphasises that one shouldn’tforget about all the other legacies he left be-hind when she concluded: “It was reassuringto pass Brian’s desk and engage in some chat-ter about his love of gardening and cooking,his pride in his wife’s catering business andhis adoration of his grandchild.”
For abriefmomentVanessa’s eyes sparkled
with tears. “We will all miss him.”She looks at her husband’s temporarily un-
kempt gardenand is comfortedby the thoughtthat the Strelitzia would soon be blossomingwith orange flowers once again.
The family invite representatives of sportsorganisations to pay tribute to Brian duringa memorial service on Wednesday 3 Augustat 19:30 at St Cyprian’s Anglican Church onthe corner of Consort Road and 5th Avenuein Retreat. The funeral will be held at thesame church on Saturday, 6 August, at 10:00.
For any enquiries or directions phone Va-nessa on 072 370 3078.

Couple lie aboutbeing hijackedREYANA STEYN
A COUPLE has been charged withperjury after they laid a false
complaint at Athlone police station,claiming that they had been hijacked.
The 26-year-old woman and her 33-year-old boyfriend alleged that they wereheld up at gunpoint and that their vehiclewas stolen.
However, after police investigated, itwas discovered that the couple had liedabout the incident.
On Sunday 24 July at 20:30, the pairwalked into the police station and saidthat they had been hijacked the night be-fore by two armed robbers.
However, the case was only made afterpolice contacted the couple to say thattheir car had been found in Langa.
“Police officers contacted the family onSunday and informed them that theirwhite BMW 316i had been found blockinga road in Langa,” says Warrant OfficerIan Bennet, Athlone police spokesperson.
“The family was contacted after policechecked the registration number andfound the owner. The woman’s fatherfetched the vehicle as if nothing had hap-pened. It was only later that day when thewoman and her boyfriend came to opena case of hijacking.
“The couple claimed that they had beenat the robots on Vanguard DriveandHeideveldRoadonSaturday23 July at 23:00, when they wereapproached by two men.”
The couple told police that oneman pointed a gun at the womanand another man who was also
armed, came to the passenger seat wherethe man had been seated. They openedthe door and pulled the man out, as wellas the woman.
“The woman claimed that she ran toher Manenberg home,” says Bennett.
“But after much investigation by War-rant Officer Leon Magalis, which tookhours of investigation and waisted manpower, it was established that the couplehad made a false statement under oath,claiming that they had been hijacked.”
The woman from Manenberg and theman from Kewtown were then arrestedand charged with perjury.
The couple appeared in the AthloneMagistrate’s Court on Thursday.
People’s Post could not establish thecourt outcome.
Bennett says criminal actions by mem-bers of the public will not be tolerated andextreme measures will be taken againstpeople who commit such crimes.
“We have given many warnings to thepublic and again if any person is foundmaking a case or statements under oathwhich is a fabricated story, the police willnot hesitate to arrest the complainantand open a counter charge such as defeat-ing the ends of justice (perjury).”
Anyone with information on this caseis asked to call Athlone police station on(021) 697-9238 or Crime Stop on08600 10111.

SCORESofyouth leaders took to the streetsin Athlone to march against substanceabuse taking over communities.
Youth leaders of the Volunteer Centregathered in Athlone on Saturday in a bidto raise awareness on the substance abuse.
Amber Eastman, a project supervisor ofthe Volunteer Centres, said it was great tosee the support.
“The volunteers come from South Afri-ca, Canada, Mozambique and Tanzaniaand this march is important because sub-stance abuse is a huge problem in all areasand we try our best to try and help the prob-lem by speaking to our youth.”
The men and women involved in themarch were between 19 and 25 years old.
The volunteers braved the cold and
walked through Bridgetown holding plac-ards and speaking over loudspeakers mak-ing their message to end substance abuseclear. The Volunteer Centre is part of ayouth international exchange programmewhich places emphasis on the awarenessof domestic violence, substance abuse andHIV/Aids while working in partnershipwith Mozambican, Canadian and Tanza-nian world youth programmes.
These partnerships allow for the stu-dents to spend three months in South Afri-ca and another three months in Canada as-sisting various communities.
This allows for the integration of infor-mation on how to address the awarenesssubjects while also setting up educationalworkshops and monthly events.
Hospital hit by copper thievesSECURITY at the GF Jooste Hospital inManenberg will be increased after copperpipes were stolen over the weekend, lead-ing to a cut in the government facility’soxygen supply.
On Sunday evening round about 18:00copper thieves ripped the metal from theback of the hospital, resulting in an oxy-gen leak.
Faiza Steyn, Health Departmentspokesperson, said patients on emergen-cy oxygen were relayed to the TygerbergHospital and the Groote Schuur Hospitalwhile patients dependant on oxygen, likethose using nebulisers, received itthrough emergency EMS cylinders.
No theatre slates were booked for Sun-day night and early yesterday (Monday)morning. The department’s oxygen sup-plier repaired the copper piping, restor-ing the flow by 09:45.
Theatre bookings continued as wasplannedon thehospital roster, as back-upoxygen supply was available.
On Saturday night, vandals struck inthe same area, leading to a water leakwhich was repaired by the Health Depart-ment’s workshop.
Steyn said security at the hospital has
been increased and additional measuresare also planned.
“There are usually 12 guards on con-tract during the day and 10 at night. Wehave increased the numbers to 13 duringthe day, as well as a dog and handler, and10 at night, also with a dog.” She ex-plained that two guards patrol the perim-eter of the grounds during the day andnight.
“Both incidents happened at the backof the hospital and there are definiteplans to improve the security for that sec-tion. The Public Works Department willbe installing CCTV cameras and havemore lighting added to that area.
“Risk assessment by the Department ofCommunity Safety has also highlightedthe need for more security personnel onthe premises.”
Warrant-officer Llewellyn Lakay,spokesperson for Manenberg police, con-firms that both incidents have been re-ported and that a case of theft has beenopened. No arrests have been made butall leads are being followed up on, he add-ed. Anyone with information on the inci-dents is urged to phone the station on 021699 9400.

Woman stabbed by ‘husband’REYANA STEYN
AWOMAN was stabbed to death, alleg-edly by her common-law husband, in
Rylands, following a dispute over an af-fair.
The woman was found dead on Tuesday inherHajji Ebrahim InformalSettlementhome.
“According to witnesses, the 33-year-oldwoman and her 42 year old common-law hus-band had an argument the night before overan extramarital affair,” says Warrant OfficerIan Bennett, Athlone police spokesperson.
“The couple were allegedly intoxicatedwhen the man stabbed the woman in herchest, back and thigh.” They then went tosleep, but when the man awoke the next day,he saw that the woman was not breathing.
“The man immediately contacted the policeand explained what had happened,” says Ben-nett. “When paramedics arrived, the woman
was declared dead on arrival.”Bennett says: “In this incident, the argu-
ment heightened as both the husband andwife had being drinking. It is sad that this hasbecome a norm, whereby people consume al-cohol and domestic violence takes place, yetthey go to bed as if nothing has happened.”
He adds: “Domestic violence must be dealtwith and reported so that action can takeplace.”
The man has been charged with murderand appeared in the Athlone Magistrate’sCourt on Thursday. People’s Post could not es-tablish the court outcome.
Anyone with information about the inci-dent can contact Athlone police on (021) 697-9238.

Wheels of justice in motion for CalebREYANA STEYN
THE trial of a mother and her boy-friend accused of beating the wom-
an’s son to death in her Manenberg flatkicked off to an emotional start yester-day (Monday) in the Cape High Court.
The trial date of Chantal Booysen andQuinton Aysen, also known as “Orre”, hasbeen set for Monday 1 August until Thurs-day 18 August for the murder of CalebBooysen (2).
Three relatives who are also neighboursof the mother testified yesterday of how thebaby’s body was found, bringing the people
to tears.Caleb’s lifeless body was found in his Pam
Court home on Friday 21 May 2010.It is alleged that Booysen and Aysen
slammed the toddler’s head into a wall. Apost-mortem report shortly after his deathfound the child had not died from naturalcauses, and that he had suffered abuse overtime. He had multiple injuries, includingbrain haemorrhage, liver problems, a bro-ken arm and wrist, and bruises all over hisbody (“Shock after baby bashed to death”,People’s Post, 1 June 2010). When Booysenappeared in the Athlone Magistrate’s Courtfor her bail application on Monday 30 Au-gust, she shocked the court when she said
Caleb used to eat Mandrax tablets he foundon the floor and that he constantly cried forfood. She said she would become frustratedand beat him. However, she denied givingCaleb drugs. The day Caleb died, Booysensaid, she had left the house with the boyasleep in the care of Aysen. When she re-turned, she discovered Caleb’s badly-bruised body under a blanket on a couch.
Yesterday Rose Boltman, a neighbour andaunt of Chantal, testified that she was calledby the mother to come and look at the child.Boltman described that when she got to theflat the child was not breathing and thatthey prayed for him.
Florence Andrews, a cousin of Chantal,
told the court the times that the mother hadcome to her and times that she left to returnback home and allegedly found Caleb’sbody.
William Bussack, a neighbour told thecourt that he never saw Chantal beat thechild. He said that he saw her scold at thechild, but he would then told her to not doso and speak to him in a decent way.
The trial continues today (Tuesday).

New chairperson forprovincial forumTAMMY PETERSEN
HE MAY not wear a Superman cos-tume or drive a Batmobile, but Ken-
wyn resident, Hanif Loonat, is ready toround up his team and get down to busi-ness in the fight against crime.
Loonat was recently elected as the chair-person of the Western Cape Provincial Com-munity Police Board, whichrepresents all residents as a di-rect link to police managementand acts as a monitoring bodyon police performance.
Despite being voted in only aweek ago, he already has a planof actionwhichhe is eager to im-plement. “I am ready for action.I want to see a strong relation-ship being formed between thevarious anti-crime departmentsso that there can be an all-inclu-sive, no nonsense approach toreducing our current crimestats,” the vocal businessmansaid.
The election is a greatachievement for a man, well-known for his fearless approach to crime inhis own area, whose journey with the CPFstarted 16 years ago while living in Johannes-burg. “I had a habit of getting into my car anddriving around in Benoni to make sure thatthere was no funny business going on in myarea. I always had this passion for fightingcrime and I would watch the streets like alone ranger to make sure everything wassafe,” he said. He decided to join the BenoniCPF in 1995, to which he belonged for the next10 years.
In 2005, while serving as chairperson, hemoved to Kenwyn, where he joined the
Lansdowne CPF.“A year later I was elected to acting chair-
person and in March 2008 I became the chair-person. I was proud of this, because it meantpeople trusted me enough to believe that Icould change the crime situation in our ar-ea.” He served on the executive of the localbody until last year, when he was selected asthe chairperson of the Nyanga Cluster CPF,which comprises of Lansdowne, Athlone,
Manenberg, Philippi, Nyanga,Philippi East and Gugulethu fo-rums.
He was elected as the provin-cial chairperson last week afterobtaining 21 of the 25 votes castby the cluster chairpersonswithin the Western Cape.
“There is lots to be done inthe fight against crime,” hesaid. “The most importantthing to me is opening the linesof communication so that peo-ple will speak out about what’shappening in their areas. Theyare the ones who are on theground and who make the bestinformants. They have to dotheir part and inform the police
of what is going on around them.”Corruption within the police force will also
be given serious attention, Loonat contin-ued. “I want to say to these officers who areinvolved in underhanded activities: yourdays are numbered. In order for the police toclean up on the outside, they first have to becleanupon the inside. These corrupt officialshad better find themselves other jobs.”
He invites anyone with concerns or com-plaints to phone him on 082 860 7863.
“I am always available, day or night.Every complaint and concern will be taken
seriously so call me and let’s find solutions.”
READY TO SERVE: HanifLoonat was recentlyelected as the chairperson of the WesternCape Provincial Community Police Board.

On the day the pupils wereshowed how the police station op-erates and what police officers do.

“The trip to the police stationwas very informative.
The children were so excited tosee the officers in uniform and tobe taken around the police station
and also see how the police vehicleworks.
“Every year I take my childrento the police station so they canlearn that the police are not justhere to protect us but also ourfriends. Many children see the po-lice officers and fear them or thinkthey are bad and trips like thesehelp open their eyes and see that
they infact could be police officerstoo if they wanted to.”
Warrant Officer Ian Bennett,Athlone police spokesperson add-ed: “It’s important that police opencommunication so that childrenfeel free to speak to police and re-port incidents and also to trust po-lice.”
He says children need to under-
stand that police aren’t thereonly for crime, but they alsocommission important documentsand will assist people where theycan.
He encourages all schools tocome visit the police stations.

Knockout successTHE successful culmination of the under-17 EngenKnockout Challenge over the weekend, is testimo-ny to the power of creative and positive communi-ty initiatives,
The tournament saw a display of the best youngfootball talent our City has to offer.
In the end, Ajax Cape Town booted their way toglory against defending champs Africa Soccer De-velopment (ASD).
While one team took home the ultimate prize,there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that everysingle young player was a champ in his own right.
As the official print media sponsor of the tourna-ment for five years running, People’s Post is proudto be associated with an event of this calibre. Ku-dos to Tournament Director Gilbert Kruger andhis team for staging a brilliant professional show;and to all the sponsors – Engen, Santos, Umbroand Coca-Cola – for their commitment to nurturingyoung talent.
It was like the World Cup all over again, on aMitchell’s Plain stage.
Hosted by the Engen Santos FC, the tournamentlooks set for a long run.
The 16 teams who competed at the Stephen Rea-gan sports complex in Mitchell’s Plain, attractedmore than 4 000 spectators, demonstrating the vi-tal role and need for team sport.
Corporates would benefit from thowing theirweight behind initiatives such as this, which givesour youth choices, and chances to celebrateachievements; scope to become the next great soc-cer legends.
The beautiful game transcends just scoring goalsand winning; its beauty lies in the unity createdboth on the field and off; in the months of trainingand preparation, being a true team player; and fi-nally, stepping up to the podium to claim well-earned prizes and silverware with pride and joy.
For eight years, the prestigious Engen knockoutchallenge has succeeded in elevating local youngplayers to higher playing fields on the footballlandscape, taking them one step closer to a goal-di-rected life.

In response. Sister’s phoney. No woman or gay per-
son speaks like that. He uses that characterto insult people.
. I agree. The Chinese messed up theclothing industry thanks to the fathers ofthe land.
. I agree with you Jeff, as well as the oth-er people about their KFC comments. I’vebeen to many branches and the majorityof the time their chicken is either raw ortoo oily. Qudsia
. Absolutely amazing! Letter and textwriters moan about everything and haveall the answers! But involvement? No way!
. Akeela, children should never be leftunsupervised as they are the parents’ re-sponsibility! Think about how the poor an-imals are treated in townships and similarplaces? When you have animals they arethe owner’s responsibility, but these own-ers don’t take care of their animals. Everwonder how those unsupervised childrentorment those poor animals? You don’thave to be rich to have compassion andlove. Animal lover
. Akeela, you are one very unhappy per-son with not a chip on your shoulder butthe whole block. So what if they have morethan one toilet? Whatever they have, they
have worked hard for. These dogs attackedfor some reason and I feel for you but noneed for such harsh words. Appalled
. Thank you all for your overwhelmingresponse, it is highly appreciated .Unfortu-nately (with only six fruit) I have none tosell. Thanks again!
Road rage. Anon, you need to go to AlAnon to help
you cope with your husband’s drinkingproblem.
. We hope her drunken driver husbandruns her over before he kills another inno-cent road user. She seems to be proud ofhim dodging the police. It’s a pity she’s notbrave enough to use her name. Cowardshide behind non de plumes. Magda
Animal matters. In reply to the question as to why noth-
ing has been done about the inhumane sell-ing of live chickens “for years” is becausepeople, NOT the SPCA or Council, allowedit to continue. Barbara
. Maureen, what I would like to do aboutthe poor suffering animals in the town-ships is unfortunately very illegal. Thenext best thing to do is to prevent the prim-itive masses from keeping animals. Pat H
By the way. How long do land claims take to pay
the old people’s money out? They wait andwait until they can’t enjoy what is theirs.Please speed up the process and put someoomph in your work! Worried man
. What about people in their late 50swhoare not yet eligible to apply for a pension?When we phone for a job, they first ask youhow old you are. Are they discriminatingagainst age? Charmaine
. Unemployed people with disabilitiesneed skills in order to find work. How canI help? Inbox me at [email protected].
. If Cosatu and the ANC Youth Leaguefight for the poor, why do they take mil-lions of the
Lotto money for themselves instead ofgiving it to charities that need it? Fed up
You give herbalists a bad nameYOUR lead article (“Herbalist conned me”,People’s Post, 26 July) has left me deeply dis-turbed since the malpractices of some whogive themselves titles cast a negative light onnatural medicine practitioners.
People should be made aware of the factthat currently, the University of the WesternCape is the only official institution thattrains Naturopaths, Phytotherapists, Unna-ni-tibb and Traditional Chinese Medicinepractitioners. All these professionals com-plete a five-year degree course and, upongraduation, are registered with the Allied
Health Professional Council of South Africa,a statuary body which regulates the registra-tion, scope of practice and code of conductof practitioners. It also confers the title of‘Dr’ on them. All these disciplines use herbsto varying degrees in their practice.
The University of the Western Cape runsclinics throughout the week with a mini-mum charge of R50 (this could vary withsome disciplines) and the public is encour-aged to make use of these facilities.DR. WENDY ERICKSEN-PEREIRAKenwyn
Speaking outTHE City of Cape Town agrees with Dr. Rapi-ti’s sentiment that the draft Bill to amend theMunicipal Property Rates Act lacks insight(Peoples Post, Tuesday 26 July, “Property decisionis short sighted”).
The proposal to exclude rental propertiesfrom the residential rates definition was notmade by the City, as Dr. Rapiti asserts, butby the National Government who drafted theBill. The City has in fact been vociferous inits opposition to the proposed amendmentsto the Act – both in the media and in corre-spondence with National Government.
The fundamental problem arises becausethe National Government wishes to removethe right of local Councils to decide on whatthe rating categories should be and how theyare defined. This national obsession with“standardisation” is what leads them tomake such errors.
The fact is that economic circumstances,property mixes and social circumstances arevastly different between local authorities. It
is not possible to derive definitions that suitall local circumstances. That is why localCouncils should be left, as is currently thecase, to define these categories for them-selves.
In Cape Town, we have progressively overthe past five years moved in the opposite di-rection to the draft Bill, by expanding the def-inition of residential properties for ratingpurposes, including share-blocks, life-rightsschemes, old age homes, hostels, flats, and allmulti-unit dwellings. We could only makethis shift without significant rates shocks be-cause we had the freedom to amend the defi-nition in a progressive manner.
If Councils are to be forced into a strait-jacket of nationally defined definitions, theywill not be able to be innovative and adjustrating policy as circumstances dictate. Itherefore agree with Dr. Rapiti’s observa-tions, but ask that he redirect his focus to-wards National Government so that we cancreate an even greater voice against thisdraft Bill.KYLIE HATTONCity of Cape Town

Hattrick Engen win for AjaxHattrick Engen win for AjaxTASMIN CUPIDO
AFTER months of preparation andan exhilarating three-day tourna-ment, the 2011 u/17 Engen Knock-out Challenge will be rememberedas one of the best-staged tourna-ments to date.
Hosted by the Engen Santos FC, thetournament, now in its eighth year,saw 16 teams from across the Cape Pe-ninsula participate in a gruelling com-petition at the Stephen Reagan sportscomplex in Westridge, Mitchell’sPlain from Friday to Sunday; withmore than 4 000 spectators enteringthe gates.
People’s Post has been the print me-dia partner of the tournament for fiveconsecutive years.
After a nailbiting final betweenAjax Cape Town and Africa Soccer De-velopment (ASD), it was the young-sters of Ajax CT who will have thebragging rights for the rest of the year,as they edged out the defending cham-pions 2-1 to be crowned the 2011 EngenKnockout Challenge champions.
At the halftime whistle it was Ajaxwho led 2-0 with a Justin Jacobus vol-ley in the 15th minute and anothergoal by midfielder, Riyaad Norodien,just 15 minutes later.
The fast-paced game continued
throughout, with ASD looking to clawtheir war back into the match.
A penalty to ASD after an infringe-ment in the box led to the defendingchampions, the scoreline read 2-1,with only a couple of minutes to play.
A last-minute penalty was alsoawarded to Ajax, but was saved byASD goalkeeper, Tristan Woudberg.
This victory sees Ajax CT complet-ing a hat-trick of Engen KnockoutChallenge championships – they pre-viously won the tournament in 2008and 2009.
Noel Cousins, youth coach at theAjax CT Academy, said they arepleased with the win, because theirclub has always been about the devel-opment of young, talented players.
“To see the team be victorious in arather gruelling tournament is pleas-ing and really satisfying,” he said.
“We put a lot of effort into preparingthe boys mentally and physically forthe event – they remained well-disci-plined and our hard work paid off.
“The intensity of our preparationwas of such a nature that we did notexpect anything less than winning thetournament. The boys really deservethis.”
Ajax walked off with R10 000 and kitfrom Umbro (the technical sponsors),while ASD received R2 500 in prize-money.
Engen Group Sponsorship Manag-er, Brad Bergh, again expressed hisjoy at being able to sponsor such a“prestigious” tournament.
Goolam Allie, chairperson of EngenSantos, congratulated all the partici-pating teams and encouraged theyouth to continue playing football,while also concentrating on their edu-cation.
Tournament Director, GilbertKruger, said they are pleased with theoverall run of this year’s tournament.“The feedback from the communityhas been excellent thusfar,” he said.
“With this we are pleased, becausethis is as much a community event asit is a football event. We again want tothank our sponsors for making thisevent a success – without them thisevent would not have been possible.”
“People’s Post is proud and hon-oured to be the print media partner ofan event such as this, which nurturesyoung sports talent in our communi-ties and creates positive opportunitiesfor our future generation,” said Peo-ple’sPostActingEditor, FerozaMiller-Isaacs.
“Well done toGilbertKrugerandhisteam, and everyone else who producedanother successful Engen KnockoutChallenge. We look forward to a con-tinued positive association with thetournament.”
