APPLICATION PROCESS: NO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION?

@monique_duval

An application for a rooftop-base com-munication station has residents fromMeadowridge, Bergvliet and Kreupel-

bosch all riled up.The application made by the NG Church

Constantia to install a station for Vodacomhas residents threatening to sell their hous-es.This follows a clause in the Cape Town

Zoning Scheme which allows the church toinstall the station without public participa-tion.On Sunday 24 March, residents gathered

near the church to protest their decision.In January, the residents got wind of the

application and requested a meeting withthe church council.Resident Jacqueline Edmiston attended

the meeting where she raised her concerns.She says representatives from Vodacom

also attended the meeting.“We asked them to give us feedback on

what their decision is going to be but weheard nothing,” she says.Edmiston explains among health con-

cerns residents were concerned about theclose proximity of the station to schools.“Should this go ahead, I will sell my house

and move. I have lived here for 10 years andlike other residents we made the decision tonot use cellphones and now the churchwants to subject us to this,” she says.In addition to health concerns, residents

also raised concerns about the possible dropin property values.Esmari Borchardt, chairperson of the

church council, has accused the residents oflevelling “insults and accusations” at thechurch. She saysdespite this, the churchhasalso received support for the station.Borchardt says the council thought the

cellphone company would undertake thepublic participation process and says theywere caught off guardwhen this did not hap-pen.“We have to apologise for this process not

being followed. When we followed up withthe cellphone company, it became clear thatfor our property this process is not a prereq-uisite, and therefore it was not initiated,”she explains.Borchardt says they are now negotiating

with Vodacom that the process be followedbecause it is “the right thing to do”.She says the accusation that 80% of the

communitywere against the stationwas nottrue.“It is imperative that people take the re-

sponsibility to educate themselves in orderto form an opinion or make decisions basedon facts and not emotion,” she says.Borchardt explains those who have sup-

ported the application are concerned aboutthe bad reception and the ability to contactemergency services.“At this stage we are still considering all

our options and this process is unfortunate-ly taking longer thanweanticipated.Wewillmake a decision as soon as we have all thefacts on the table,” she adds.According to City of Cape Town’s Director

of Planning andBuildingDevelopmentMan-agement, Cheryl Walters, as the church iszoned Community, rooftop base communi-cation stations are permitted as a primaryuse.She explains as the proposal complies

with the zoning scheme, no land use applica-tion is required.“However, a building plan still needs to be

approved in terms of the National BuildingRegulations and Building Standards Act,”Walters says.Due to the zoning the station will only be

subjected to one condition that itmaynot ex-tendmore than threemetres about the build-ing.Walters confirms that no public participa-

tion is required and says if the applicationis made under primary use, the permissionswill not lapse. In addition to this residentswill not be able to appeal.V Share your thoughts on the protest. Starting withthe word “Post” SMS your comments to 32516. SMSescost R1.

Breaking news as it happens

PROPERTY: RED TAPE CAUSES FRUSTRATION

Long wait for transferNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

It can take up to a decade to have a councilhouse transferred to the name of a newtenant.This means the trauma of losing a loved

one to death is amplified for the rest of a le-gal tenant’s family, who fear eviction fromtheir homes.And while the transfer is tied up in red

tape, relativesmay be threatenedwith evic-tion.Avril Adams has been waiting six years

for the transfer of her home.“Mymother died years ago andwe’re still

waiting for the council house to be trans-ferred to my stepfather’s name. She livedthere for over 30 years. I’ve lived in thishouse all my life,” she says.The holdup has created several inconven-

iences for Adams. She is unable to open abank account, as she does not have a validproof of residence.When the tenant of a council flat dies,

their spouse or children are eligible to takeover the lease, says Mayoral Committeemember for Human Settlements TandekaGqada.“If more than one child is eligible to be

considered for the tenancy, then the finaldecisionwill rest with the relevant commit-tee of the City of Cape Town,” she says.Tenants must be South African citizens,

must be a registered applicant for accom-modation, must not own property andmusthave a joint income of less than R10 000.If the tenant of the house does not fall into

this category, the unlawful occupation poli-cy will apply. “The policy on unlawful occu-pation is clear in that occupants in occupa-tion prior to 1March 2006 can be consideredfor regularisation if they comply in termsof set criteria,” she says.Nowhazana Tokota fought for three years

to have a council house transferred into hername, and was often threatened with evic-tion.“I lived with an elderly woman who I

cared for. She informed the rent office thatI live with her and should get the housewhen she dies,” Tokota explains.“I was told: ‘If it’s not in your name, we

have to kick you out’.”Housing activist Jimmy Xalipi says a

number of families find themselves strug-

gling to change the name on their lease.“There are many other families in the

samesituation,where the residents arepay-ing the rent but the house is not in the rightname,” he says.“They haven’t beenmade the rightful ten-

ants. The longer these things take, themorelikely families are to lose documentationproving they are entitled to live there,” hesays.Another council house resident, who did

not want to be identified, says her familyhas moved into the council house eventhough she is paying rent. “We live in a

wendy house outside while my mother’ssiblings live in the house. Because the leasehas not been put into my name, I’m not ableto ask them to move,” she laments.Gqada could not give a time-frame for

transfers of the contract.“The transfer of tenancy and not owner-

ship varies depending on the family situa-tion and the procedure that has to be fol-lowed in terms of the policy,” she says.“There have been some unavoidable de-

lays; in some cases this was because nomi-nees failed to produce the required docu-ments.”

A new taxi route betweenMasiphumele-le and Westlake is on the cards.Following concerns about school

children, students and workers hitchhikingalong the mountain road, councillors fromthe South Peninsula Subcouncil met withCity of Cape Town officials to discuss alter-natives.Subcouncil chairpersonFelicityPurchase

says they have been informed a new routeis in the planning stages.She explains Xhosa-speaking pupils from

Westlake and Capricorn are finding travel-ling to school increasingly difficult.“MasiphumeleleHighSchool is the closest

Xhosa-speaking school for (pupils) but withnopublic transport routedirectly fromtheseareas they either hitchhike alongOuKaapseWeg or walk,” she says.Purchase explains many students who at-

tend a college in Westlake are also affected.The current route sees pupils taking a taxi

to Retreat Station where they board a trainto Fish Hoek and then another taxi toMasiphumelele.She says taxis from Masiphumelele were

using the route but were fined by TrafficServices as the route was illegal.“The requestwas to find a quicker and saf-

er way for pupils and students to get toschool and college. The process is now un-derway,” she says.Following a meeting between officials

from the City of Cape Town’s public trans-port department, Purchase andMasiphume-lele proportional councillor MzuvukileNikelo officials will now conduct a survey.“Theywill nowquantify howmany people

using the road will need public transport,”

she says.Masiphumelele High School principal

Nelson Mafrika says they are very con-cerned about the safety of pupils using OuKaapse Weg.He says, with very little choice, many pu-

pils are putting themselves in harm’s wayjust to get to school.There are about 76 children fromWestlake

and Capricorn hitchhiking on Ou KaapseWeg.Two weeks ago, Mafrika says the school

was informed that a 15-year-old pupil wassexually harassed after getting a lift from anelderly man.

“Her mother came to the school and in-formed us. She said the man gave the girl alift and was touching her inappropriately,”he says.Mafrika says while the school is happy

about the new route, there were monetaryconcerns. He says many of the pupils wouldnot be able to afford the taxi fares.For this reason, the school will be submit-

ting a request to the provincial education de-partment for transport.“This is the desired optionas itwill ensure

that pupils who have taken desperate andunsafe methods to get to school are nowsafe,” he says.

Nikelo says he received a joint letter fromstudents who attend False Bay College’sWestlake Campus requesting the new route.He explains in addition to pupils and stu-

dents, many Masiphumelele residents areemployed in Westlake and also hitchhike towork.Nikelo liaised with taxi associations who

say the new route is viable.“But as they were fined before, they have

also requested this proposed route be final-ised before they go ahead,” Nikelo adds.V Share your thoughts on the new route. Starting withthe word “Post” SMS your comments to 32516. SMSescost R1.

PRINCESS VLEI: NEW VISION INCLUDES ‘WORLD CLASS ECO PARK’

Sale of wetlands is ditchedASTRID FEBRUARIE ANDTASMIN CUPIDO

His victory celebrations after savingPrincess Vlei from development arejust about dying down.

Now Kelvin Cochrane is looking towardthe future of the vlei – the development ofa “world-class eco park for the people of theCape Flats”.Eighteen years after the initial proposal to

develop a shoppingmall, taxi rank and park-ing area at Princess Vlei, the sale of the landhas been cancelled by theCity of Cape Town.Nearly five years after Cochrane got the

call from residents to assist in the fightagainst development, he is “elated” at the fi-nal outcome.“I’m looking forward now; the dream of

creating an eco park is no longer a dream,”he says.“At long last the voices of the people have

been heard. This is a victory for every per-son of the Cape Flats.”On Saturday 22 March, Cochrane and the

rest of the Princess Vlei Forum (PVF) wel-comed the news of the cancelled sale fromdeputy mayor Ian Neilson. PVF had organ-ised an event to showcase its vision for thevlei. It intended to hand over a petition anda document with the vision to Neilson.But mere hours before the event, the City

issued a press statement to announce it wascancelling the sale of the land.“The City has listened to the community

and decided that the proposal for a shoppingcentre on the Princess Vlei land is inappro-priate and will cancel the project,” it stated.It also stated it has been in discussions

with the developer, Insight Property Devel-opers, the last year to discuss “alternativesto the proposed development” and it wouldcompensate the developer for costs incurred

on the project.Insight first proposed the development to

the then-South Peninsula Municipality in1996. Since then it has seen several applica-tions, processes, objections and claims ofcorruption.In July 2009, Cochrane and residents op-

posing the development held a petition sign-ing which saw 1800 people from across theCape Peninsula make the mark (“Battle tosave vlei heats up,” People’s Post, 21 July

2009). Questions about the R3m the City hasinvested in the rehabilitation project Dress-ing thePrincess, headedbyCochrane, inAu-gust 2008 arose.Several petitions, awareness campaigns

and meetings with mayors and premierHelen Zille followed, and the application forthe extension of the Record of Decision forthe rezoning period was opposed.While the City turned down the applica-

tion for extension inNovember 2011, the pro-

vincial minister for Environmental Affairsand Development Planning Anton Bredell,approved the application for the land to berezoned from public open space to businessin early 2012.Then Cochrane cried foul as he alleged

there were irregularities in the applicationprocess (“Mall development: corruptionclaims”, People’s Post, 25 September 2012).This prompted the country’s Priority CrimeInvestigation unit, the Hawks, and the Na-tional Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to in-vestigate the allegations. The case is still un-der investigation, Cochrane says.The City also decided to pull the brakes on

the application, as it awaited the outcome ofthe Hawks and NPA (“Probe puts outcomein balance”, People’s Post, 30 April 2013) in-vestigation.Then came the announcement of the can-

cellation.The only wetlands on the Cape Flats has

also been proposed as a project forWorldDe-sign Capital 2014.The project “Imagine Princess Vlei” aims

to redesignand create aKirstenboschBotan-ical Gardens in the heart of Retreat. It, inpart, could entail the construction of an am-phitheatre, an information centre for fynbosrestoration, a plant nursery, a jetty, birdhides and much more.“The City has already appointed a task

team to pave the way forward for PrincessVlei,” Cochrane says.“The task team will, in conjunction with

community and the PVF, work on ways tobring the ideas for Princess Vlei to life.While the soft work can be done now, thehard work requires planning.”PVF spokesperson Philip Bam believes

common sense has prevailed. “We can nowfocuson the future ofPrincessVlei,” he says.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

TOKAI: QUESTIONS OVER SHORA

Squabble on iceMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Tokai residents will have to wait a littlewhile longer before a final decision onthe proposed rezoning of a Zwaanswyk

Road property is made.The application to rezone erf 10964 into

four single residential portionshas beende-layed again.

This comes after councillors from theProtea Subcouncil decided it was a big deci-sion that needed more time.

In January, it was postponed to allow forthe objectors and applicants to have theirsay.

The application, which has caused a stiramong residents as the land was formallyused for horse riding, has attracted atten-tion over the years and even resulted in aneviction order being issued by the CapeHigh Court.

According to the report, an applicationwasmade in 2005 to rezone the land to allowfor the development of five single residen-tial units and a private road.

The City of Cape Town approved the ap-plication, but this decision was overturnedin an appeal lodgedwith provincial govern-ment.

In 2011, the High Court issued an evictionorder to the former tenant, the SwaanswykHorse Rider’s Association (Shora).

The controversial application has re-ceived over 90 objections.

Speakingonbehalf of residents at the sub-council meeting last week, Sarah Hether-ington said the propertywasnot big enoughfor four residences.

She said 20 years after the first promisewas made to residents that land would beavailable for equestrian purposes, develop-ers were asking them to agree that a home-owners association could put a new agree-ment in place should the rezoning go ahead.

She also questioned theminimumerf sizeof the four residences.

The application was made by TommyBrummer Town Planners on behalf of own-ers GE Property and Marketing.

In his presentation, Brummer said mini-mum erf sizes did not apply to this applica-tion as the land was zoned for agriculturaluse.

He said they looked at different layoutsto position the residences to allow a portionof the land for equestrian use. The use ofthis land, however, will be managed by ahomeowners’ association.

John Zieff, from Edward, Nathan, Son-nenberg Attorneys who spoke on behalf ofthe applicant, said it was unconstitutionalfor theCity to condition the owners to allowthe public access to private land.

He said it was unlawful and unconstitu-tional for any municipality to impose suchconditions.

He reiterated the court judgement andsaid the City and objectors had no legalright to compel the owner to provide accessto privately owned land for equestrian pur-poses.

In a twist, Zieff said he was surprised tohear Shora was operational as he was in-formed after the court order that they haddisbanded and could not carry the cost.

“We will have to look into this,” he said.The report also list the reasons the City’s

planning department recommend the appli-cation be approved but councillors felt thedecision should not be made hastily.

Subcouncil chairperson Ian Iversen saidthe application went beyond planning. Heasked that they adjourn the item.

WYNBERG: PROBLEM BUILDING NOW FENCED UP

Residents fume over City’s decisionMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Wynberg residents have vowed to ap-peal against a recent decision by theProtea Subcouncil.

Anapplication to redevelopahouse situat-ed at 27 Orient Road into three townhouseshad residents fuming as they filled the coun-cil chamber last week to object.Following several complaints by residents

and police about the vacant house, it was de-clared a problem building by the City ofCape Town.The owners made an initial application

but after thiswas shot downby residents theowners left the vacant property.Itwas thenoccupiedbyvagrants andWyn-

berg police raised concerns about drug usein the house.Since being listed as a problem building,

all entrances to the house have been brickedshut.Barbed wire has also been used to enclose

the house.Resident Darron Araujo, who represented

the objectors, said there were several con-cerns.The objectors claimed the site was just too

small to accommodate the application andclaimed the development would have a sig-nificant impact on the traffic as the houseis situated at an intersection.They claimed vehicles entering Orient

and Silverlea roads would endanger motor-ists and pedestrians during peak hours.As a solution Araujo proposed the owners

do not build or for the City to use Land UsePlanning Ordinance (Lupo) to curb overcrowding. They also suggested using the ex-isting house to construct two masonettes.A loud applause was heard from residents

afterAraujo’s presenta-tion.Tommy Brummer

from Tommy BrummerTown Planners spokeon behalf of the owners.He said they lookedat

various ways to createa development thatcomplied with its zon-ing.He explained the

owners want a low two-storey building whichfitted in with the City’sDensification Policy.He said a Traffic Im-

pact Assessment wasnot required or justi-fied as part of the appli-cation.The development is

to consist of six parking facilities includinggarages and parking bays.Pierre Hoffa from the City’s planning de-

partment said the application had not beenthrough all City departments as the landrights enabled the property owner to build15m high.“The application is for less than the owner

is allowed and this application can be ap-proved without public participation, due tothe land rights,” he said.Ward councillor Elizabeth Brunette said

she was impressed by the turn out of resi-dents.She said the application was only for 7.5m

inheightwhich is less than thebuildingnextdoor in Silverlea Road.“The application is in line with the City’s

policies and is a low key densification devel-opment,” she said.Brunette explained the application was

not different to other existing buildings inthe area and it conformedwith the “look andfeel”.“Our decisions are guided by City policy;

I recommend the application be approved,”

she said.Councillors voted in favour of the applica-

tion with one councillor abstaining.Residents immediately vented their anger

at the decision.“So all these people don’t count,” one

woman asked.Araujo says while many of the objections

were received late, six were on time.He confirms that three of the six will be

appealing the decision.“The decision to appeal ismotivated by in-

dividual reasons for each of these objectors:some fear loss of privacy and sunlight, infra-structural capacity is a further concern,most fear the increased danger to the com-munity that the departures granted willcause bearing in mind that the developmentis at an intersection with a high volume oftraffic,” he says.Araujo explains residents feel they were

not taken seriously as no councillor engagedthem on the points raised.V Share your thoughts on the application. Startingwith the word “Post” SMS your comments to 32516.SMSes cost R1.

WRITE TO US |email | fax | post Guns: a matter for debate

Nicole McCain’s anti-gun article (“Shootingdown negligence”, People’s Post, 20 March)was not only pathetic in its content but crim-inally misleading.Confiscating so-called illegal firearms is

not logical because an inanimate object can-not be illegal, only a person can be accusedof being illegally in possession of a firearm.This meagre haul of 17 firearms has had noimpact onManenberg at all and just as littleeffect on the other gang infested communi-ties where the police seem to be afraid to en-force the law.The disposition of the firearms may only

be undertaken by the executor and no oneelse.As forGunFreeSouthAfrica, they are just

a pathetic ineffectual group of ignorant peo-ple whom the media love to quote, but whohave no empirical evidence to back up anyof their claimsandhave failed toprovide evi-dence when confronted.

BRIAN HOARE,Plumstead

Townships arekilling fieldsThe increasing number of deaths of inno-cent people as a result of gang violence hasturned the Cape Flats into killing ground forruthless gangsters desperate for territory.The desperate cry for help by township

residents for the past five years has fallenon the deaf years of politicians and lawmak-ers, who have chosen to bury their heads inthe sand.The politicians have become indifferent to

the very legitimate cries of communities,who are being held hostage by the violence.Our police force is ill-equipped, grossly

understaffed and demoralised to deal withthe open gang warfare. How else can one de-scribe the situation when children as youngasnine years old brazenly display their gunswith bravado, ready to kill?After 20 years of freedom, we have failed.

And our president dares to say that we livein a much better place. Not every home hasthe security measures provided like Nkand-la. In the townships, people are killed androbbed in broad daylight.Marches, prayers and community police

forum meetings have done little to help.Bring in the army to stop the anarchy in

our townships; the gang unit should be re-introduced; the ridiculous law of promotingchildren, who repeatedly fail, should end be-cause these children drop out of school outof frustration and join the attractive life of-fered to them by the gangs.Children with learning disorders should

not be promoted but be compelled to attenda skill school before they land up with thegangs, peddling drugs for the merchants.Drug education should bemade compulsoryat primary school level and medical schoolsshould urgently introduce a module on themanagement of drug addiction to equip doc-tors on how to treat people using substancesand their families.If we do not invest in our children today

we will pay dearly. That is, if we are not do-ing so already.

Your SMSes. For months I’ve been looking for accom-modation formy children andmyself. Everytime I phone anagent, they comeupwith sto-ries. I amwilling to pay for rental, but I don’tunderstand why they will not approve myapplication.Whydoesn’t the owner lease theOrient house? Mrs Edelyn

. This fencing in and fencing out is a verydisingenuous approach to social problemsofthe so-called street people. It will just under-line and further the social divide in the“beautiful city”. Instead of fencing in andout, let’s deal with real issues of the unroot-ed. The R220 000 can be used for better shel-ters and day centres and more social field-workers – one in the area is ridiculously lit-tle considering the spend on the securityfirms. The city is for all and poverty is nota crime. For the affluence some of us enjoy,we can endure that people forage our trash.

It should make us more thoughtful. Oneshould consider a voucher system for hand-out which makes both parties feel better.

. Scrap collectors are feeding the very ob-vious criminal element, disguised as thetrolley brigade, who have no fear nor shameas they plunder private and business prop-erty. It is completely out of control. And thescrap merchant pleads ignorance as hewrings his dirty hands in glee. Lynn

. The bulk of traditionally commercialhandline fishing licences, according to theminister, is intentionally and purposelywithheld, because it is reserved for the“small-scale fisheries” sector. What shedoesn’t tell South Africa is that those verysame commercially viable linefish licenceswill automatically become almostworthlessin a turf or zone-regulated legal frameworksuch as the “small-scale fishery”. Linefish-ingwill no longer be a turf or zone-free activ-ity, but it will become restricted and con-fined to specific areas only. Charles

Drug sales happen in broad daylightI would like to report an incident that oc-curred on Tuesday 18 March between 10:00and 11:00 on the corner of Mitcham andSandhurst roads in Wynberg.There were three dealers and about seven

(people) buying drugs. (Therewas) no policeor security on patrol. A security (guard)

walked past the dealings; he just looked atthem as hewalked by and did not stop them.It is a disgrace what is becoming of our com-munity. The dealings happen in front of youand they don’t even hide from anyone.Do something; don’t wait until your child,

loved one or family member is a victim.

What is the police then there for? To sign af-fidavits?Send the merchants and buyers out the

country. They cannot destroy our lives likethis. We can’t even go to the main road free-ly.ANONYMOUS

Woodstock police spokesperson SergeantHilton Malila responds: When a firearmowner has passed away the local police sta-tion must immediately be informed about thedeath. The firearm must not be handled bythe spouse or anyone of the family members;it must be kept in a locked safe. The police willgo out to the address and educate the familyabout the processes they need to follow in theevent of a death of a licensed firearm owner.Adele Kirsten, chairperson of Gun Free

SA, responds: GFSA only uses scientific evi-dence to backup its claims onany firearms-re-lated matters.This comes from several sources such as na-

tional crime statistics from police annual re-ports; data and research from theMedical Re-search Council; UN bodies such as the WorldHealthOrganisation; research institutes suchas the Small Arms Survey, based in Geneva;research generated by public health research-ers such as Kellerman in the USA and crimi-nologists such as Van Kesteren in the Nether-lands.

Calitz eyes world recordHe set a new course record in 2012; then heset anotherwhen he ascendedmore than theheight of Mount Everest in 11 hours lastyear.Now AJ Calitz has the Guinness World

Record in his sights.Calitz will attempt to run up Table Moun-

tain’s Platteklip Gorge more than 14 timesduring this year’s edition of the K-Way Plat-teklip Charity Challenge (PCC).His aim is to break the Guinness World

Record for the “Greatest vertical heightclimbing stairs in 12 hours”.Calitz will ascend Platteklip, run from the

top of the Gorge to the cable station, take thecable car down and then bundle into a wait-ing car, which will take him swiftly to thebottom of the Gorge for his next ascent.He will be aiming for at least 14 ascents

to better the existing record.“Driving from the cableway to the start of

Platteklip, instead of running, will save meat least five or six minutes per lap and I’vegot the chance to relax and eat properly inthe car,” Calitz says.“The ride also gives me the chance to re-

cover mentally for the next one. Whenyou’ve completed a lap or two and know you

have another 13 to go; that time to relax isimportant.”The annual K-Way PPC sees individual

and team participants push themselves toascend the Platteklip Gorge hiking trail, de-scend via the cableway and return to the bot-tom of the Gorge as many times as possiblebetween sunrise and sunset.Participants not aiming to set records will

run or walk from the bottom cable car sta-tion to the foot of the gorge.The course is 5.5km, with the steep 2.1km

long climb ascending 760m up 800 double-size steps.

Last year Calitz completed the entirecourse twelve times in the 11-hour durationof the race.His 12 summits addup to anaccu-mulative 9120m of climb, almost 300m high-er than Mount Everest.The current Guinness World Record of

10 060m is held by Chris Solarz, who repeat-edly climbed 48 flights of stairs in the ThreeLogan Place building in Philadelphia in2011.The Platteklip Charity Challenge has sup-

ported Joe Slovo Park’s Sinenjongo HighSchool since 2012, with funds raised throughdonations and sponsorship.All funds raised go towards salaries for ad-

ditional English, maths and science teach-ers, and a part-time social worker.The Challenge starts at 07:00 on Saturday

5 April.V To enter or donate visit www.charitychallenge.co.za.

‘Team spirit will win Varsity Cup’LIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Ikey Tigers coach Kevin Musikanth be-lieves the Varsity Cup final will comedown to “who wants it more” instead of

the game’s technical aspects.UCT will face the North West University

(Pukke) in Potchefstroom on Monday, afterbeating arch rivals Stellenbosch Universityin the semi-final this week.

“The rugby stuff was prepared months be-fore, so it’s the little things that (will) makethe difference,” Musikanth says.

“It’s about the love the guys have for eachother and that fact that they enjoy playingtogether.

“You have to be (a) good rugby team toreach the play-offs, so generally there is pari-

ty in the final. It’s the little things (such as)team togetherness and morale that (will)make the difference in terms of winning.”

Musikanth says UCT’s morale is high, asindicated in the semi-final win over Maties.“One of the major reasons why we won thesemi-final was because the guys enjoy beingtogether; they didn’t want this campaign toend.”

UCT produced an accomplished perform-ance to see off Maties in semi-final, scoringtwo tries to win 20-8.

Wing Lihleli Xoli and eighth-man MichaelBotha got the tries, while flyhalf Dean Grantscored two penalties and two conversions.Stellenbosch responded through a try fromscrumhalf Jean Nel and flyhalf Robert duPreez’s conversion late in the match.

The Ikeys will have to produce another

clinical showing to top Pukke in the final.The hosts thrashed UCT 47-24 at the Green

Mile in the opening game of the competitionin early February.

But Musikanth says both sides havechanged and progressed since then.

“I don’t think we will go into the final anydifferently than any other game we have pre-pared for,” he says.

“The loss to Pukke was our first game al-most nine weeks ago. Both teams are vastlydifferent in the way they perform now. Wewon’t go into it differently, but our perform-ance will be vastly different.”

Pukke’s only loss this season came athome against Maties, a side that UCT beatboth home and away in the round-robin stag-es and the semis respectively.

The Ikeys will hope to emulate their local

rivals to win the final and their second Var-sity Cup title.V The final will be broadcast live on Supersport at19:00.
