LONG STREET

Pay to park at nightNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A paid nighttime parking system forLong Street may hold the key to im-proving security on the busy street.

So believes ward councillor Dave Bryant,who plans to submit a formal motion at theupcoming Good Hope subcouncil meeting.The motion will request the City of CapeTown’s transport department to revisit aproposal for night parking in Long Street as

a matter of urgency.“We will then be guided by feedback from

the transport department and the generalpublic as to the way forward,” he explains.Currently the parking marshals only

work during the day, Bryant says.“During the evenings the popular public

parking spots are overtaken by informal carguards, some of whom are also engaged inillegal activities. I have received many com-plaints regarding informal car guards inLong Street threatening and intimidating

car owners into handing over cash,” he says.Although the crime rate in Long Street is

much lower than many other parts of thecity, there are regular complaints of pick-pockets,muggers and drug-dealerswho usu-ally operate in the evenings and earlymorn-ings, Bryant says.“Pickpockets tend to target tourists and

drunk partygoers and often these incidentsare not reported to the police,” he says.However, the parking system is not aimed

to be a cash cow, Bryant says.

“The previous system looked at introduc-ing a once-off fee of between R10 and R15,which would cover the cost of parking inLong Street for an entire evening,” he says.And a night parking system would also

boost employment, Bryant believes.“If the paid parking is implemented effec-

tively it would increase vigilance alongLong Street, displace some of those engagedin illegal activities and provide formal jobopportunities for potential car parkers,” hesays.

Women recently gathered to demand justice for four sex workersrecently murdered in the city centre, Woodstock, Kenilworth andKhayelitsha. The Sex Worker Education and Advocacy Taskforce(Sweat) estimates ten sex workers were murdered in Cape Town overthe last year. Read more on page 3.

Celebrating women who stand tallTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Mayor Patricia de Lille has praised blindwomen for their strength, courage and

perseverance in refusing to be defined bychallenging situations they have beenthrough or that they face every day.De Lille addressed women from South Af-rican Blind Women in Action (SABWIA) atthe Cape Town Society of the Blind in SaltRiver on Thursday last week.DeLille said at the event she chose to cele-brate Women’s Day with them as they werethe womenwho overcame adversity and re-fused to be victims. Instead, they took ac-tion to empower themselves and set a shin-ing example for everyone.“You remindme of the 20 000womenwho,on 9 August 1956, made history when theymarched to the Union buildings to petitionagainst the divisive pass laws. Those wom-en made a powerful statement that markedone of the most significant turning pointsin the fight against apartheid.“Like those women, you have also takena stand. Despite the physical challenges youface every day, you make a daily decisionnot to be victims of your circumstances. In-stead, your will to succeed has led you toovercome adversity, learn new skills anduse your time to serve people in need,” shesaid.

Empowering projectsSABWIA is an organisation that empow-ers blind women to live life to the fullest.

It runs entrepreneurial projects, focusingon knitting,weaving and craftwork, aswellas programmes that empower women byproviding social work services, placementservices, computer literacy, office adminis-tration and entrepreneurial training.Attending the event was Netty Coetzee(50), who said it was heart-warming.“We feel very excited that we are also re-membered. It makes us feel better that wedon’t live in a world of our own but peoplearound us notice that we are there and theydo things with us inmind. I’m so happy andvery excited that we had to come togetherand celebrate as women because there area lot of challenges that we face,” she said.

DonationDe Lille donated R10 000 to help the orga-nisation run its programmes, aswell as var-ious food items like canned foods, vegeta-bles, rice and wool.Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of the Cape TownSociety of the Blind, said women lived in atime where they were confronted with so-cial challenges but they had to stand theirground.“Do things for yourself, equip yourselfandmakemagic happen. Don’t let anythingbring you down, you have done a lot foryourselves,” she said.Elizabeth Maphike from SABWIA saidthey were grateful and hadn’t expected it.“It’s such an honour to have such anevent. We are really happy and it gives usstrength to carry on with the work we dofor other blind women,” she said.

‘Murdered sex workersalso deserve justice’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

About 30 sex workers were murdered in the last year,according to statistics of the Sex Worker Education

and Advocacy Taskforce (Sweat).A third of these murders took place in Cape Town,

says Sweat spokesperson Lesego Tlhwale.These numbers were highlighted last week as sex

workers gathered to remember four women found deadin different parts of the city.

The group gathered in Oak Avenue, Kenilworth,where a sex worker was found stabbed to death; in frontof the Loop Street backpackers in which a sex workerwas found strangled and mutilated; in RavenscraigRoad, Woodstock, where another sex worker was foundbeaten to death and in Site B, Khayelitsha, where a sexworker was assaulted so severely she died.

Sex workers and supporters had a moment of silenceand lay flowers in memory of the murdered women ateach site, Tlhwale says.

“Often cases of violence against sex workers go unno-ticed and there are no suspects found. Sex workers needto be recognised as human. They died in a brutal wayand no person deserves that,” she says.

Sex workers experience violence on a daily level,from a number of sources, Tlhwale says.

“Violence is rife. According to our count, ten womenhave been murdered in Cape Town since June last year.Cape Town is by far the worst,” she says.

SlaughteredA sex worker who attended the remembrance event,

who does not want to be identified, says she was tornbetween anger and joy.

“It made me happy to remember those who werekilled, but it makes me angry that nothing is happeningand justice is being denied. They were slaughtered likechickens,” she says.

“Everyone faces risks each day, but it’s worse for us.Sex work is criminalised so we can’t even go to the po-lice if something happens to us. We feel unsafe whileworking because we face police harassment, clientstake advantage of us and we are often robbed. No-oneis looking after sex workers and we have to work tomake money for our families.”

The criminalisation of sex work drives sex workersunderground and increases stigma. It makes sex work-ers vulnerable to human rights violations and often vio-lent death, Tlhwale believes.

“The current law further creates obstacles for sexworkers to access justice and legal recourse, meaningmany of their cases remain unsolved and murdered sexworkers forgotten,” she says.

Flowers were laid to mark the place where the body of a murdered sex worker was found. Three other such murderswere commemorated across Cape Town last week.

Licence centre gets renovationRenovations are underway atthe Gallows Hill drivers’ li-cence testing centre.

New cash cubicles will beconstructed in two phasesover six months.

While the testing centrewillstill offer its usual services, itwill have to be on a smallerscale, says JP Smith, mayoralcommittee member for safetyand security.

“The renovations taking

place at Gallows Hill are need-ed to enhance service deliveryto the residents visiting thecentre. The contractor has in-dicated his willingness to con-tinue to work after normalworking hours in an attemptto minimise the disruptionand to fast-track the comple-tion,” he says.

Residents are encouraged tomake use of the other testingcentres where possible.

City countshomelessASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

About 7383 homeless people are living inshelters and on the streets of the city, a

survey conducted by the City of Cape Townhas found.In the first of its kind in South Africa, the

City completed a headcount of street peoplein the space of 10 days.The survey was done in the city centre,

foreshore, Sea Point, Vredehoek, Oranje-zicht, Bellville, Goodwood, Strandfontein,Parow, Wynberg, Portlands, Table View,Tafelsig, Mitchell’s Plain, Kuils Rivier,Claremont, Woodstock, Lansdowne, Lente-geur, Muizenberg, Retreat and Milnerton.In each of these areas 50 or more homelesspeople were found.The City’s social development and early

childhood development directorate has re-vealed these findings. It is part of a researchproject that set out to determine thenumberof street people in Cape Town, but also togain a better understanding of the phenom-enon of homelessness.Researcher Lynn Hendricks explained

how the survey was done and said that theCity was clustered, using the Cape Townmap book. Five teamswere allocated specif-ic areas in Cape Town.Teams walked and drove around their ar-

eas and team leaders ensured that every ar-ea marked in the map book was covered.“The state of homelessness aswe current-

ly face it is different to what we observedjust a few years ago,” Hendricks said.She explained that homelessness was an

ever-growing problem.Suzette Little, mayoral committee mem-

ber for social development and early child-hood development, said the street peoplecount coincided with an investment of just

under R10m in the directorate’s street peo-ple programme.“The budget for this programme has

grown from R4.5m in 2013/14 to R7.8m in2014/15 to R9.7m in 2015/16 – an increase ofmore than 100%,” she said.Little said the research team deliberately

operated in the early morning hours tomake it easier to distinguish between peo-ple who slept on the street and so-called daystrollers or job seekers whomade their wayto economic hubs during daylight hours.“They did not only focus on the obvious

areas, like streets and bridges and buildingentrances, but also ventured into themoun-tains above Fish Hoek, for example, tocheck for people sleeping in these areas,”she said.

StridesAccording to Little, theCity hasmade tre-

mendous strides in recent years in its ef-forts to address the complex problem ofhomelessness in a holistic way.“It is not something that is unique toCape

Town, but I would like to think thatwe havecharted a good course inhowweaddress it,”she said.Little said the City had three objectives.The first was to help as many people as

possible who wanted to get off the streets.The second was preventative in nature –

to stop others frommigrating to the streets.And the third objective was to sensitise thepublic through their give responsibly cam-paign.“We cannot force people to accept our of-

fers of assistance and there are those whoprefer to remain on the streets because itsaves them from taking responsibility fortheir lives, but we are determined to helpeach and every person who wants to helpthemselves,” Little said.

The team that participated in the City’sheadcount of street people.

The team cameacross a number ofpeople living under abridge in foreshore. Inthe city centre morethan 50 homelesspeople were counted.

Con man leavesa loose messNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

You may think having a new tar surfacelaid on the pavement in front of your

home would be an improvement, but workdone by a con artist is proving to be any-thing but.Residents have been warned of a man,

who poses as a City of Cape Town contrac-tor, who offers to lay leftover asphalt on themunicipal property in front of their homesfor a small fee.He reportedly carries out work, but uses

substandard material which soon startswashing off.And residents are being warned that they

may be liable for hiring the scamster.Brett Herron, mayoral committee mem-

ber for transport, says he has heard aboutthe unapproved work taking place.“Transport for Cape Town has been ad-

vised that the man goes by the name of Ser-gio and approaches residents with the storythat he has leftover tar and needs to use itup.He offers to surface the footways in frontof their homes for cash or goods.When theyagree, he brings a team in wearing safetyvests and does the work. He has becomethreatening if residents refuse to pay,” Her-ron says.The material applied by the con artist is

a mixture of old asphalt, slurry and char-coal. It is completely loose and soon startswashing off the footway into the stormwa-ter system, Herron says.Ward councillor Jacques Weber says six

months ago, a resident contacted him say-ing she had paid for work to be done, whichhad lasted only two weeks. The City thenfixed the pavement where the damaged had

been caused.Four property owners have already fallen

prey to the scam, leaving the City to repairthe damaged surfaces. Herron says resi-dents will now be held accountable shouldthey hire this man.“Residents shouldnot employ this compa-

ny as they may be held liable for damageto City property. Any work on pavementsand roads requires a permit for resurfac-ing,” he says.

Substandard tar laid by a scamster may seeresidents held liable for the damage.

Upgrade ofsteps likelyUpgrades to a Green Point thoroughfare aretaking shape, step by step.This as R125 000 has been allocated for the

upgrading of public pathways and stairs inward 54.This should seeVesperdene steps inGreen

Point receiving an overhaul, says wardcouncillor Jacques Weber.“We are currently assessing the costs of

upgrades but at this current moment theVesperdene steps look favourable for the up-grade,” he says.The upgrade will include fixing the con-

crete steps, and should heritage approval begiven, the steps may be tiled and the lowerpart of the steps opened for a better line ofsight from the road. General landscapingand paving around the steps will also be car-ried out, Weber says.“The steps are older than 60 years and

therefore they fall into the heritage bracket.The removal or change of any structure thatis protected by a heritage policy needs to beapproved by the various bodies,” he ex-plains.“An application will be made to Heritage

Western Cape and it would then decide ifthey are allowed or give suggestions.”The commencement of the upgrade will

depend on this approval, Weber says.

For the last three years, MarcelaGuerrero Casas has been “rais-

ing” what she calls her child.ShehaswatchedOpenStreet, an

organisation that transforms howcity streets are perceived andusedby creating car-free streets for afew hours at a time and invitingpeople to use the space creatively,grow, fall down and take it’s firsttentative steps.Guerrero Casas was recently

recognised by theMail & Guardi-an newspaper on its list of 200YoungSouthAfricans – anhonourmade even more special becauseshe was not born here.“When they phoned to say I had

been nominated, I told them I hadnot been born here and they saidit didn’t matter because the nomi-nation is about making South Af-rica a better place. It’s so reward-ing. You feel so warm inside,” shesays.

Planted rootsGuerrero Casas left Columbia at

17 to study in the United States.And although she still describesColumbia as home and frequentlyreturns to visit, her roots are firm-ly planted here, she says.Open Street can also call Colum-

bia home, as it is based on amove-ment started there in the 1970s.120km of streets are turned intopedestrian areas every Sunday.

More than 400 cities across theworld now run similar projects.

First moves“I don’t race and I don’t know

anything about bicycles, but I’vealways commuted by cycling.When I moved to Cape Town, I re-alised that it wasn’t always safe todo so and a dialogue started withother cyclists,” she says.This grew into Open Street, and

the first event saw Lower MainRoad inObservatory closed to traf-fic for a day in 2012.“That first Open Street was a

highlight. We were expectingaround 50 people. When we saw somany people there, I actually sheda few tears,” she says.The movement has since spread

to Langa and the city centre.“Hundreds of cyclists rode from

the city centre to Langa for OpenStreet. When they arrived, theywere all riding in a line and youcouldn’t see the end. It was like aglimpse of the future,” she recalls.However, the organisation has

faced a number of challenges, andhas “fallen down” a few times,GuerreroCasas says. Funding andred tape make holding any eventlike cycling the Tour de France.“We’re working with the City to

find ways to use less resources,”she says. “I hope in 10 years’ timeOpen Street events will be as regu-lar as a Saturday market so thatpeople won’t even see them asevents.”

Open Street’s Marcela Guerrero Casas has been named oneof the Mail and Guardian’s 200 Young South Africans.

An increase in the number of animals killednear nature reserves have officials calling onmotorists to drive more cautiously.The City of Cape Town implores motorists

not to speed after it received more reports ofanimal killings on roads near the City’s na-ture reserves.The City is now installing signs on the

most dangerous roads to caution drivers.The City’s environmental resource man-

agement department teams have reportedthe most killings on Baden Powell Drive be-tweenMuizenberg andMacassar, Strandfon-tein Road between Baden Powell Drive and5th Avenue, the N2, the M3 between Tokaiand Hospital Bend, Clarence Drive and SirLowry’s Pass.Recently a number of animals have also

been killed on Ou Kaapse Weg.Especially kelp gulls are killed on Baden

Powell Drive.“We appeal to motorists to work with us

to protect Cape Town’s animal life by drivingcarefully on roads close to nature reserves,”says Johan van derMerwe,mayoral commit-tee member for energy, environmental andspatial planning.“Many of the motorists are not aware that

they are driving through these proclaimednature reserve areas, while at the same timemany of the animals are nocturnal, so thismakes it difficult for motorists to see the ani-mals at night when they unexpectedly crossthe roads.Motoristsmust adhere to speed re-strictions, particularly at night,” he says.V For more information on the nature reserves visitwww.capetown.gov.za/naturereserves.

Cape Town’s Shark Spotters have re-ceived yet another accolade, as project

manager Sarah Waries has been recog-nised on theMail &Guardian newspaper’slist of 200 Young South Africans.Waries joined the Shark Spotters team in

2008. She started managing it along withseveral other projects, but it has nowgrown into a full-time job.The programme now employs 45 people

working as shark spotters on eight beach-es.“The nomination is great recognition.

We’ve been working very hard to grow theproject and we’re starting to get recogni-tion on so many levels. But the awardsshould really go to the shark spotters them-selves,” she says.Waries began her career as an environ-

mentalist when she moved to Cape Townto study baboons in Kommetjie as part ofher Honours degree study.“I’ve always been obsessedwith animals.

I was fortunate to grow up in differentcountries and see some really cool ani-mals,” she says.Although she returned to the UK after-

wards, working on projects such as imple-menting the first recycling system at Wim-bledon, she couldn’t stay away from thebeauty of the Cape for long.“Cape Townhas such a diverse and beau-

tiful environment,” she says.But when Waries started on the Shark

Spotters project, she knew next to nothingabout sharks, she confesses.“I’ve learnt so much about sharks and

marine conservation through the pro-gramme. It’s amazing to see how so manypeople feel connected to the sea,” she says.False Bay boasts the world’s largest ag-

gregation of white sharks on the doorstepof a major city, with over 450 individualsharks identified off Cape Town over thepast 10 years.The organisation is now bucking down

to prepare for the summer season, whichwill kick off with a symposium on South-ern African sharks and rays, which willtake place in Simon’s Town in September.The Shark Spotters will also visit West-

ernAustralia, to assess the feasibility of in-stalling shark exclusion nets there, Wariessays.“None of our programme is patented or

anything.We just want to help people,” shesays.

Shark Spotter’sproject managerSarah Waries hasbeen named as oneof Mail & Guardiannewspaper’s 200Young South Africans.

Participating in sports is not only good forhealth, it has also been proven to bringmen-tal benefits as well as affect behaviour inclass.For schoolchildren especially, running

around at break time or doing somephysicaleducation not only helps them becomehealthy kids, but also helps them to be alertand concentrate much better in class.This came to light in a two-day schools

summit thatwasheld atGroote SchuurHighSchool last week.The summit discovered the importance of

schools sports, the benefits of it as well as

the challenges that schools are facing. Theschool sport summit aims to bring togethereducators and key role players to discussthese concepts.

SpeakersSome of the speakers over the two days in-

cluded Prof Tim Noakes, founder of theSports Science Institute of SouthAfrica (SSI-SA), who talked about the power of sport,Justin Durandt, manager of the DiscoveryHigh Performance Centre at the SSISA,Catherine Draper from UCT who talkedabout the spirit of sport, Morne du Plessis,co-founder of the SSISA who also played forthe Springboks.Addressing those who attended the sum-

mit Du Plessis said sports played an impor-tant role in society. “Sport awakens hopeand it has a unifying role in society. Comingto school sports, when kids participate insports they are active and happy. If sportsmake our children happy then it’s very im-portant. Without being a scientist, makinga child happy is very important so if sportsdoes that, it just shows how important it is.School sports improve the child’s attitude,confidence,” said Du Plessis.

Healthy marksDespite the challenges that schools face,

like lack of facilities and equipment, it wasemphasised that children must participatein a sporting activity every day. Clubs and

schools were encouraged to work together.Draper said apart from keeping children

physically active sport also improved theiracademic results. “A lot of kids that takepart in sports do exceptionally well in theirstudies. Kids must not spend more than twohours on screen time, be it TV, TV games oriPads, as it has been proven that those whospend more hours on TV don’t do well atschool.“To have an active, healthy child they

should take part in sports every day. That’swhy runningaroundat break timeandphys-ical education is very important for schools.Just by playing, it refreshes theirminds andincreases their concentration spans. Thosewho take part in sports tend to do better.”

Sports activity is vital for schoolchildren

They’re ‘mad’about educationTo prepare South African students withtools for their future as the leaders of to-

morrow, the Mad charity has undergone arebranding.The non-profit organisation, affectionate-

ly knownby its supporters asMad,will nowbe known as the Make a Difference Leader-ship Foundation, to emphasise the organi-sation’s focus on leadership developmentthrough education.The launch of the new name took place

at a gala event hosted by former Springbokcaptain Francois Pienaar last week.Pienaar, chairperson of the Foundation,

said despite the challenges facing South Af-ricans, and the education and leadershipgaps that desperately needed to be ad-dressed the foundation has always believedin the vast potential that exists in South Af-rica.“Positive effective change will come from

strong leaders and it is critical that their po-tential be developed through education andmentorship. Our revised name and brandwas driven by the need to focus more onleadership, as this is key to creating lastingchange in our country,” he said.During a press conference before the

launch, Pienaar discussed how the Make aDifference Leadership Foundation raisedthe bar of education in the country.He explained that the approach was to

identify academically talented pupils, whodid not have the necessary financial resour-ces and offer them support for education,leadership and life-skills development.Pienaar said akeymessagewas that there

was an opportunity for everyone in SouthAfrica to make a difference through mento-ring and supporting talented pupils withleadership potential in all communities.“Imagine ifwe cangrowanarmyof young

people who care about this country, whocare about society, who care about educa-

tion. What a powerful force for change thatcould be.”V For more information visit www.madcharity.org orcontact Amy Stevens on 021 974 6231 or [email protected].

Silver lining fornetball teamEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The u.12 netball team of Willows Prima-ry School inHeideveld has exceeded ex-pectations and come home with silver

in theSouthAfrican schoolsnetball primaryschool championship.A few weeks ago, People’s Post reported

that the school qualified to take part in thetournament and was seeking sponsors tohelp the team members reach Pretoria.They received support from Islamic Relief

South Africa, which donated the kit andequipment the team needed to compete inPretoria. The teamdid themproud and justi-fied their reputation as one of SouthAfrica’stop primary school netball teams.Faadiel’s Transport Services provided the

travel arrangements which allowed theteam to get to and from Pretoria safely.Agnes Grootboom, a teacher at Willows

Primary and the team’s manager, is ecstaticabout the team’s achievement, but alsopoints out that the effortwas inno small partdue to the hard work and commitmentshown by her players.“The girls practised throughout the June

holidays in preparation for the tournament.During the first week of the holidays, someof them did not come to school for practice

sessions. I had to go fetch them at home andsometimes (had to) wake them up, but afterI encouraged and motivated them, they be-came more dedicated and really workedhard during the practice sessions.”In the tournament itself, the team repre-

sented the Western Cape and swept pastteams from the North West, Eastern Capeand Limpopo.They reached the final in which they

would take on Gauteng.If qualifying to take part in the tourna-

ment was already seen as a tremendousachievement, then winning their way to thefinal in the hope of taking home the honourswould be nothing short of extraordinary.The team managed to play to a 6-6 score

in the final, which meant that the matchwould have had to go into extra time for awinner to be crowned.Unfortunately, when the final whistle was

blown, Gauteng managed to eke out a 7-6win, taking home the gold.Despite narrowly losing out on top hon-

ours, Grootboom remains immensely proudof her charges.“They made the school, and the whole of

the Western Cape province, very proud. Iwas very happy and told the girls that thehard work we put in during the holidayspaid off.

“If you work hard, you will succeed,” saysGrootboom.Grootboom is grateful for the sponsors

and school principal Kashief Abrahams,who, with their contributions, allowed them

to take this journey.“I think the girls looked very good in their

new netball gear, tracksuits and bags. Ithink that this also contributed towardstheir winning spree,” says Grootboom.

The u.12 netball team of Willows Primary School came second in the national primary schoolchampionship in Pretoria.

Mitchell’s Plain girls wing it to the topEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The sport of rugby is flourishing in Mitch-ell’s Plain, but not in the way that you maythink.What started out as just a fledgling initia-

tive a little less than sixmonths old, has nowflourished into amovementwhereby, for thefirst time, three girls from the area haveopened spots for themselves at provinciallevel.The Princeton duo of Leandi Smith and

Shoneez Sabatini, as well asWestridge HighSchool’s Michaela Palmer, are representingWP at u.16 and u.18 levels respectively.The Mitchell’s Plain regional team is

coached by Shafiek Murphy, who is alsofrom Princeton, and managed by Rabia Al-exander.“If you look at the girls’ region at the mo-

ment, our rugby is only five, six months old.

At themomentwehave threeWPgirls in ourteam. They just came back fromnationals inOudtshoorn and they won the nationals andMichaela’s team (WP u.18) won their nation-als in Durban. Shoneez has (recently) beenincluded in the u.16 team,” says Murphy.He says that the girls play both sevens and

full matches and, depending on the event,the regions meet up at least once a monthto take part in a festival.Alexander did not believe she would end

up being part of a women’s rugby team, butis thoroughly enjoying the experience.“Our girls are doing excellently and the

team work is great. First it was just Prince-ton against Westridge and all the otherschools, but since we have combined, thelove for the game is even better now.”Shoneez (15) says rugby just became an

overnight passion of hers and that she seesa future for herself in the sport.“I just tried it out. Something just made

me want to try it out. It was just about hav-ing fun, trying our best and doing it as ateam. Rugby builds me as a person and Iam doing it for my future. I want to givemy mother a better life, because she is do-ing her best to provide for me, so I mustdomybest at school andwhat I have, Imustdo my best,” she says.Michaela (16), meanwhile, started play-

ing the sport after her classmates insistedshe join them. She found the adrenalinrush she gets from playing is particularlyaddictive, while Leandi fell in lovewith thesport because she is sporty by nature.“I first played touch rugby, but then WP

coach Ramsay came to our school and in-troduced full contact rugby to us. I run alot and I run fast, so I love scoring tries,”Leandi beams.Murphy says future plans involve devel-

oping a high-performance group of playersto feed and strengthenWPwomen’s rugby.

New way to enter Cycle TourEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Riders hoping to enter nextyear’s Cape Town Cycle Tour(CTCT) on 6 March will have

to adhere to new, groundbreakingentry requirements.The Cape TownCycle Tour Trust

(CTCTT), which organises andruns the race, has announced anew entry system.An online “ballot system” will

now replace the first-come, first-serve process, which the Trustsays will bring them in line withother international events. Such aballot system has never been usedin a South African race before.This is in an effort to give every

potential entrant a fair chance ofcompeting in the race by avoidinga fast sell-out of spots, which hasbeen the case in the race’s recenthistory. Entries to this year’s racesold out in a record eight hours.The Trust has also increased the

number of entries from 35 000 to 40000, but David Bellairs, a directorof the Trust, confirms that no cor-porate group entries will be al-lowed, encouraging those whohave made use of these entries inthe past to follow either the publicentry process or take up the oppor-tunity to support a charity.Bellairs says these charities will

be allocated 7000 entries and thePedal Power Association (PPA)will receive 5000 entries, whichwill be given to random membersof the Association.“To honour PPA as founders of

the event, its paid-upmemberswillbe offered an ‘early-bird’ opportu-nity to register their interest in anentry to next year’s race.“Those who are unsuccessful in

the initial PPA ballot will automat-ically be added to the general pub-lic ballot, starting on 9 September,giving them an additional chanceto be awarded an entry,” Bellairsexplains.27 000 ballots will be available to

the general public, with a further1000 made available to develop-mental associations as well as sub-

stitutions.Registration of interest in ob-

taining a ballotwill be free andwillopen on 9 September at 13:00.The window for such registra-

tion will remain open until 25 Sep-tember at 13:00.Prospective riders (both local

and international) can registertheir interest at www.cycle-tour.co.za. Doing so amounts to anindication of interest only, andwillnot ensure entry, and will requireprospective entrants to updatetheir details at the same time.In theweek following the closure

of thewindow for registration, suc-cessful applicants will receiveemails from the CTCT to confirm

that they have been awarded an en-try, which will cost R470 per localrider.International entries will re-

main open until February, or untilthe allocation of 5000 riders isreached, and will cost R800 each.Unsuccessful applicants will al-

so receive an email and will be in-vited to enter via a supportingcharity or by means of the officialsubstitution process in January.Successful applicants will have

until 26 October to pay and securetheir entry. Payment not receivedbefore this date, or the applicant’soption to decline the entry, will re-sult in that entry beingmade avail-able to a previously unsuccessful

rider.According toBellairs, online bal-

lots have been successful in topEu-ropean and American sportingevents.“Such systems have become

standard practice at key sportingevents around theworld, includingthe New York Marathon and Bos-ton Marathon. The Trust, alongwith its three co-naming rightssponsors – Cape Argus, Pick n Payand Momentum – carefully re-searched and considered all op-tions, and we are confident thatour new process will serve riderswell and further entrench the glob-al appeal of the CTCT,” he says.“We want to avoid thousands of

applicants rushing to be first inline as the entry portal opens, andbeing disappointed when they sellout in a matter of hours.“Our intention is to create a

fairer system as it allows for agreater and more inclusive oppor-tunity for securing an entry. En-tries will be awarded at random,regardless of whether interest isregistered on the first or the lastday of the registration period. Webelieve the implementation of thisnew system is the best way for-ward,” concludes Bellairs.As in previous years, a certain

number of the entries will be madeavailable via charity groups atvarying costs.
