POLLUTION of the Diep River Canal hasliterally been getting up the noses of resi-dents.

They have complained to ward councillorJan Burger, who says the water is pollutedby litter flowing downstream from Diep Riv-er into Little Princess Vlei.“Everything that is tossed into the water

upstream empties into the area between DeWaal and Roscommon roads,” says Burger.“I have walked the river banks and seen

black bags full of rubbish clogging the waterand have reported it to the Department ofTransport, Roads and Stormwater manytimes. The canal needs more effective gridsacross it to prevent the muck continuing tofloat down river.”Burger received more complaints recently

after anewspaper story about pollution in the

Diep River Canal was published.“Further down in PrincessVlei we are hav-

ing the same problem with all sorts of litterbeing washed down the Diep River Canal,The litter includes plastic packets (and) bot-tles, used nappies, tins (and) glass bottles.”One complainant wrote: “Litter is trapped

by the grass growing alongside the walls ofthe canal. It is never cleared when they do aclean-up – this all contributes to the smell.”Mayco member for Transport, Roads and

Stormwater councillor Brett Herron says theodour is caused by sewer overflows into thecanal which have now has been addressedwith the Water and Sanitation Department.“The areas upstreamand downstreamof Ros-common Road were cleaned by the City ofCape Town’s Transport, Roads and Stormwa-ter Department during November and De-cember 2012 [total 20 days].

Stars to shinefor golden oldiesMUSIC is a language everyone can under-stand. Add a joke or two and you have awinning combination.

This is just what is on offerwhen fundswillbe raised for the Douglas Murray Home forthe Aged, in Retreat.Following a People’s Post report that the

Home is in dire straits, an events companywas spurred into action to host a fundraisercalled Comedy and Jazz on The Greenz.The event will be held at the Vodacom Golf

Driving Range in Rosmead Avenue, Wyn-berg, onSaturday 2February. It starts at 19:00and the cover charge is R100.The artist line-up is enough to make any

jazz lover’s mouth water. It includes well-known andmuch-lovedCape Town jazzmusi-cian Richard Ceasar, the sultry MelanieScholtz, Open Mic Jazz Contest winner Can-dice Thornton, jazz duoTheRubenDaleBandand all-girl group G-Major.Theywill be supported by comedians Dalin

Oliver, Devon Gray and Calvin Benson whohave all beenmaking serious headway on thecomedy scene.Fred Daniels, CEO of the Home, says funds

have “all but dried up, as the Home strugglesto stay afloat”. Established 43 years ago andnow home to 90 residents, the Home gets byon a shoestring budget.“Municipal bills are in the region of R30 000

a month and in winter this can skyrocket.This excludes the salaries for the staff, aswellas food and other essentials,” says Daniels.He adds the event “may not be able to cover

all costs”.While most of the residents need 24-hour,

specialised nursing and medical care, the

Home’s “biggest challenge is covering staffsalaries”.The facility employs 63 staff working on 12-

hour shifts a day. “We need professional car-egivers and nurses to attend to our residents.In an ideal world we would need one profes-sionalnurse for every tworesidents,”Danielssays. “But the nurses need to be paid up toR12 500 a month. We do not have this kind ofmoney.”Towards the end of last year, the Home’s

Board was faced with the challenging deci-sion of downscaling or closing the doors tothe facility.It is in light of this that theyhave embarked

on The Save Douglas Murray Home Cam-paign and this fundraiser forms part of thecampaign. The campaign is aimed at galva-nising the support of the community and cre-ating awareness to the plight of the Home.“We have received tremendous support

since we have been afforded the opportunityto tell our story in the previous article andin various interviews. The reality, however,is that the Home needs this to be ongoing aswe still have a long way to go and may findourselves in the same position sooner thanwe think if interest in the Home starts towane.”Businesses looking for branding opportu-

nities or anyone wishing to assist or to findoutmore about the campaign or the fundrais-ing event can contact Gregory Sirmongpongon (021) 712 2146 or email [email protected].

A HANGBERG girl (13) was seriously in-jured in the most recent of a spate of un-fortunate events for her family.

In the most recent incident, Neveline An-gola was badly hurt when she and her neph-ew Diago Stoffels went for a swim in HoutBay Harbour on Sunday 13 January.

Although the teenagers were warned notto swim in the harbour and there is CityCouncil signage saying “No swimming/div-ing allowed” it was so hot, they couldn’t re-sist.

Neveline was badly injured during theswim and is at Groote Schuur Hospital.

The accident happened just a fewweeks af-ter the family’s Hangberg home was de-stroyed by fire on SundayDecember 30, leav-ing her mother, Florence Angola, and herfour other children homeless.

Neveline’s accident occurred near a mo-torboat on the slipway. Neveline said sheandDiagoweregettingout of thewaterwhenthey were injured by the propellor.

Neveline’s right calf muscle was sliced tothe bone and she had large cuts on the leftleg and thigh. Her nephew’s foot was also se-riously injured.

The teenagerswerebleedingheavilywhenthey struggled out of thewater and called forhelp.

Angelo ran down to the harbour from herhome to when she heard about the accident.

“I had a terrible shock when I saw her ly-ing there. I am still suffering from post trau-matic shock from the fire and I haven’t beenable to work since.”

The teenagers were given First Aid beforebeing rushed to Groote Schuur Hospital.

Neveline lost so much blood she had tohave a transfusion and has undergone threeoperations.

Her condition is stable, but the wound is

still open, awaiting the doctors’ decision.Stoffels was discharged last week.

Angola says: “She is usually a happy child,but she has been very down since the acci-dent. She was much more optimistic thisweek. She doesn’t realise that she won’t beable to go back to school for a long time. Westill don’t know what will happen as thereis a risk of infection.”

During the fire the family lost all their pos-sessions leaving them with just the clothesthey were wearing.

Neveline’s uniform for Sentinel PrimarySchool was also destroyed in the flames.

Angola says: “The fire started in a neigh-bour’s house and spread to our house. I hadeverything – a TV, DVD, microwave, but allour possessions have gone.”

Florence is a single mother and has twoother children and 14-month-old twins totake care of. Neveline has a photo of thetwins next to her chair in the small, lonelyroom in the Trauma Unit.

Florence is employedas anoutreachwork-er at Hout Bay C.A.R.E.S, part of the NGOFavor SA which helps people overcome sub-stance-related challenges and poverty.

Sofia Osburn, community developmentcoordinator of the NGO, wants to help thefamily andhas raised enoughmoney to buildthem a wendy house.

She hopes that the building will begin thisweek. “But will still need to raise at leastR80 000 to coverNeveline’smedical bills, payfor therapy, aftercare and other runningcosts, as shewill definitely need further carewhen she comes out of hospital.”

Osburn is raising funds by selling adver-tising on the Hout Bay Cares website.

Anyone or businesses who would like tohelp the Angola family rebuild their livesand assist Neveline, can contribute to thefund.

For details contact Osburn on 083 596 4667or email [email protected].

Joy at gifts onfirst school dayJUANITA WILLIAMS

A SURPRISE awaited pupils at Constan-tia Primary on the first day of schoolwhen representatives of Wynberg Rota-ract went bearing gifts.

The Wynberg Rotaract, in collaborationwith Groot Constantia Wine Farm, spon-sored stationery worth about R6 000, whichthey distributed to Grade 7 pupils.

Wynberg Rotaract president Kerri Connororganised the presentation, and was assistedby Keela O’Driscoll, Robyn Bergman, Jessi-ca de Smidt, Ryall Connor, Jason Mitchelland Ronald Hesqua.

The Rotaract volunteers also made up

about 400 snack packs and sandwicheswhich they handed out to the delighted pu-pils.

Kerri says the main fundraiser for theyear is the Uncle Paul’s Christmas parties,which is held on the Groot Constantia WineFarm, and they chose Constantia Primarybecause most of the Groot Constantia farm-workers’ children attend the school.

“Our next project is to install astroturf toreplace the sandy soil where the childrenplay in the front of the school,” she says.

Wynberg Rotaract is a student-run organi-sation and is affiliated with Wynberg Rota-ry. The members are between the ages of 18and 30, and meet regularly to plan projectsin the community.

Be on alert for break-ins, theftsHOUSE break-ins have increasedinWynberg and Kirstenhof polic-ing areas since the festive season.

Wynberg East is currently beingtargeted – with a spate of housebreak-ins in the area bordered byOt-tery, South, Castletown and Broadroads.This is according toWarrantOffic-

er Silvino Davids, sector command-er for Sector 2, Wynberg East.He says generally this is low crime

area, but house break-ins started toincrease during the extensive roadworks which took place before De-cember.He reports that most break-ins oc-

A hand upfor greeniesTWO organisations which are in-volved in community greeningprojects benefited from the proceedsof an open day of four Constantia gar-dens.

The Constantia Valley Garden Club(CVGC) raised R96 000 at their bienni-al open garden day.

NGOs Abalimi Bezekhaya and Soilfor Life operate in townships wherethey also work towards upliftmentprojects. They teach people to growvegetables for the family and to selland raise themoney to clotheandedu-cate their children.

The vegetable growers from Abali-mi Bezekhaya have been so success-ful that they pack and sell veggies tothe public.

The main recipient of funds, Abali-miBezekhaya is anurbanagricultureand environmental action associa-tion which operates on the Cape Flatsas well as in Khayelitsha and Nyanga.

It assists individuals, groups andcommunities to initiate and maintainpermanent organic food growing andnature conservation projects as thebasis for sustainable lifestyles, self-help, job creation, poverty alleviationand environmental renewal. One ofthe many projects includes Harvestof Hope. This is the weekly distribu-tion of fresh organic produce, grownby Abalimi Bezekhaya farmers, tovarious outlets. This assistss peopleto support sustainable, dignified andhealthy livelihoods.

Soil for Life is based in Constantiaand aims to build the soil, growplants, feed people and heal the plan-et. The organisation is greening town-ships and transforming lives and theenvironment.

Soil for Life founder Pat Feather-stone says: “This is a green revolutionand revolutionaries are needed toshare the vision andmake thingshap-pen. Regular workshops on all as-pects of food gardening are offered inwhich people learn gardening skills,and are taught self-sufficiency andhow to build the soil,”.

Community spirit at WestlakeJUANITA WILLIAMS

WHAT was once a squalid hall in West-lake is now a thriving community centre.The road leading to the Commando Hallwinds through the business park and pastWestlake Technical College.

The centre is peaceful and spotlessly clean.Dave Barnes who manages the centre forWestlakeUnitedChurchTrust explained thatthe rejuvenation of the old Commando Hallbegan in 2000. Blake Parker, a retired engi-neer started clearing the rubbish and rubble.“He went where angels fear to tread and hadto start from scratch to make the buildinghabitable,” says Barnes.

Anthea Thebus, at the Community AdviceOffice, recalls that there were a couple of fam-ilies squatting in the centre. When the re-building began, some families were re-housed at Westlake while others moved outof the area.

Today, Westlake Community Centre is ahub of activity with a busy Community Ad-vice office, craft workshops, computer work-shop, home-based care centre unit, a recrea-tion hall, and in a separate building, the Em-manuel Pre-school for 180 children fromGrade 0 to R.

The centre recently received funding fromthe Steenberg Golf Club Classic event to re-pair the roof of the large hall. The hall housesdonated gym equipment, and hosts a wres-tling club, dance classes and other events.“When the leaking roof has been repaired,”Barnes says, “we need to raise funding to re-place the damaged ceiling which will makethe facility much more attractive for folkwanting to hire the venue for wedding recep-tions, birthday and anniversary parties.”

The team at the Advice Desk help Westlakepeople with problems, type out CVs, assistpeople to find jobs, send faxes, organise trans-port to hospitals, call emergency services,help with IDs, maintenance and grants.

They also run a second-hand shop whichsells household goods every Tuesday. Thebuswelcomes donations of single beds, fridges,pots and pans and general goods to sell in theshop. The proceeds from the shophelp pay forthe running costs of the centre.

A home-based care service is available onthe same floor.A teamof 23, including a regis-tered nurse, offers home-based care in the vil-lage and in the southern suburbs, which in-cludes three old age homes.

They also run support groups for folk af-fected by or infected with HIV, and as groupsfor chronic lifestyle diseases including diabe-tes, hypertension and asthma.

On the top floor of the centre, there’s a fullyequipped craft room. Crafter ThembakaniQinga makes funky necklaces with recycledbuttons. An expert beadworker in her ownright, she and four other women have hit abest seller. They were inspired to make but-ton necklaces by Judy Lambrecht, a volun-teer at the centre. The necklaces are in greatdemand, thanks to Professor Ros Thomas, anassociate professor and Head of Psychologyat Webster University in Geneva, Switzer-land.

Thomas buys 100 necklaces at a time to besent to Europe where students sell them toraise funds for the women survivors of theBalkan War. “Which is a win-win situationfor Westlake and the Balkan War survivors,”says Barnes.

The necklaces are popular in WestlakeBusiness and Steenberg Business Parkswhere they are stocked at two shops.Volun-

teer Sue Kieswetter is a also a good customer.An English visitor was so inspired by the

project that she collected 8kg of buttons in theUK and sent them to Westlake.

The crafters also make teddy bears out ofbandanas provided by the Sunflower Fund.

Women from the Masizakhe (Growing Our-selves) cooperative share the craft work-shop.Theyproduceup to 3 000TownshipBagsa month which are sold through Pick n Pay.

Downstairs the field workers from theDept.of Social Development run supportgroups three days a week for children infect-

ed and affected by HIV/aids. The main focusis providing psycho-social support for Or-phans and Vulnerable Children in the com-munity.

The Emmanuel Pre-school also on site,houses six sunny classrooms where 180 chil-dren are prepared to be school-ready forGrade 1.

Principal Eleanor Lawrence says parentspay R300 a month which includes breakfast,lunch and a snack. The children can play intwo well equipped playgrounds set in land-scaped green lawns.

Peace vsprotestsVIOLENT protests about service deliveryhave in recent months marred the politi-cal landscape. People’s Post interns Tar-ren-LeeHabelgaarn andLuzukoZini tookto the streets and asked readers if the vio-lence is justified or it is a sign of despera-tion.

DESPERATE: Steve Fraser says while hedoesn’t condone violence, when people arehopeless they get desperate. “If people can’tget their point across what other option dothey have? Something needs to be done, butit all boils down to education; it allows you todecide what is right and wrong.”

Photos: Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini

UNACCEPTABLE: Stirling Damain­Harris saysviolence is never justified. He thinks peopleprotest when they have come to the end oftheir patience. At that point, he says, there isno other way but violence. “I feel particularlysorry for the farmworkers who work in rain andsun, but get R50.”

NEVER VIOLENCE: Thelma Harris says vio­lence should never be an option. She says itis particularly frustrating when protestersdon’t think of the inconvenience caused tothemselves and others. “If you take the farmorkers: when they go back to work the stuff(property) is broken. It is unfair towards them­selves and the farmers.”

ELECT LEADERS: Taariq Samuels says: “That’stheir way of getting what they want, but it doesnot always go their way. Protesters shouldelect someone who will speak on their behalfto the people, company or government so thatthings can be resolved in a peaceful way.”

NOT IDEAL: Kay­Leigh Meistre believes pro­testing is a way for protesters to get attention,but believes violence is not the way. “Protest­ers need to speak up and voice their concernsinstead of being violent. Violence has neversolved anything but only makes things worse.”

UNJUST: Andiswa Sam says: “Violence is notthe way because it only makes things worse.Violence is not a sign of desperation, but anopportunity (for some people) to ruin what hasalready been done for them. The only way for­ward is to address issues in a civilised way.”

OTHER MEANS: Zach Simpson believes thereare other ways of dealing with the protesters’concerns. “The violence may be a sign of des­peration, but there is no need for it. They shoulduse peaceful methods of protest that haveserved this and other countries well.”

Food forthoughtTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

You are what you eat.

For years people have been obsessed withphrases such as “healthy body, healthymind”, and it’s true, says a dietitian.What children eat have amajor impact on

their brain. “Your brain is dependent on anormal blood sugar level, so any people orchildren with low or high blood sugar can-not concentrate properly. Therefore it is ofutmost importance to eat regularly to helpkeep your blood sugar at a normal level,”says dietitian Magdalene Pieters.And, says Pieters, you don’t need expen-

sive or exclusive foods to achieve this. Ahealthy combination of food groups in ei-ther a meal or snack will suffice.Brain boosting foods do not have to burn

a hole in your pocket, but, more important-ly, she says, the best thing to do is to avoidfoods that affect the brain negatively. Focusinstead on foods that are beneficial to thebrain.“It has nothing to do with affordability

and more to do with trying to eat naturalfoods, the way nature intended us to eat,”she says.When looking at food you need to decide

if it is natural, wholesome and healthy orif it is only the nice tasting part of a naturalfood like sugar, oil, fat, cream and white re-fined starch.A good guideline is to try and avoid foods

that are dyed, changed or fried.Certain foods, such as fried foods, sweets,

sugar and sweetened cooldrinks, have anegative impact on the brain. “Bought friedfast foods are the worst because the oilmight be boiling for many hours. Trans fatsreplace the good essential Omega-3 fats inthe brain, and may cause Attention DeficitDisorder and mood disorders like depres-sion because of a lack of Omega-3 fatty ac-ids,” says Pieters.“Fried fast foods are one of the reasons so

many young people feel depressed thesedays.”Sugar is digested very quickly and spikes

blood sugar levels. According to Pieters, alot of insulin must be secreted to lower theblood sugar again.“A child with a high blood sugar will not

feel full of energy, like most people think.They will feel drowsy and tired. If their sug-ar drops too low after the spike theywill feelnervous, edgy and jittery. They won’t beable to sit still, can’t concentrate and every-thing around themwill draw their attentionaway from their work,” she says.Water with a meal that combines protein,

fibre, vitamins, minerals and healthy fat isvery good at empowering the brain.Pieters says children should be encour-

aged to drink water whenever they feelthirsty or hungry.“A dehydrated body and brain cannot

function properly and sometimes childrenget overweight because they confuse thirstwith hunger and eat too much,” she says.With the new school year having just

started, a good eating habit could help im-prove a child’s performance.Pieters says good foods to include in your

child’s lunch box are low GI bread (whichdecreases the sugar spike), and a proteinthat suits your pocket such as meat, cheese,peanut butter or egg and a fruit.“Apples are low GI fruits and travel well.

Buy different types and colours,” says Pie-ters.Breakfast is also very important to kick-

start a day, says Pieters. She lists low GItoast, egg, peanut butter, low GI oats ormuesli, yoghurt and a fruit or few raisinsas good breakfast choices for children.She adds that pilchards are excellent food.“It is packed with good Omega-3 fatty ac-

ids, is an excellent source of protein andminerals from the sea and calcium from thesoft bones in the fish. The tomato added tomost tins is also very good, filled with anti-oxidants that protect against many diseas-es,” says Pieters.She highlights that it is also affordable

and you can stock up and keep some.“I combine it with wholewheat pasta, on-

ions and spices, then adda thin layer of grat-ed cheese on top for a lovely fast dish for thefamily,” she adds.

LITERACY is a basic life skill, a human right.To this end, The Reading Room in Wynberg

offers one-on-one reading sessions on Saturdaymornings to assist pupils who struggle to read.A child who can read with confidence has a

greater chance to succeed, says Amanda Sicklewho offers these classes free.Anyone who would like their child to join the

sessions or who would like to offer assistanceas a volunteer can contact Sickle on 082 474 0951or (021) 761 0273 after 18:00 daily.

Catch-22CIVIL society places certain expectations up-on a country’s legal system.So it is expected, for instance, that people

whom the courts find guilty end up in prison.There, it is hoped, offenders will serve the

required time for having been found guilty ofwhichever crime. Perhaps it is also hopedthat they would make amends and perhapsbecome reconciliatory towards those whomthey’ve offended. Many prisoners say they’vefound religion while in prison.If prison is hoped to be a corrective facility,

what then can be said for crimes taking placein prison? Fights which broke out in Polls-moor Prison last week are reportedly as a re-sult of attempts to control illegal items whichwere being smuggled into the facility.A daily newspaper report indicates 10 in-

mateswere injured in two separate battles be-tween rival gangs. Five inmates were takento hospitals. The items in question are drugsand cellphones.While people on the “outside” may take

cellphones for granted, drugs in a prison isunderstandably a dangerous combination.Correctional Services regional commis-

sioner Delekile Klaas has reportedly told themedia they were investigating whether offi-cials could be working with inmates.Two rival gangs have are said to have been

separated,while gang leaders have been iden-tified and placed in another area.Many questions can be asked as to whether

prisons really serve a purpose. But in the ab-sence of any other recourse, correctional fa-cilities remain the only answer as to what todo with offenders and those who break thelaw. Research indicates many offenders, un-fortunately, return to prison. Some, becausethey see little way out than to survive by com-mitting crime.Others, because their attemptsat reintegration into society are foiled as a re-sult of the mark against their name.Until we’ve walked a mile in a prisoner’s

shoes, who is to know? Perhaps crime neversleeps. Not even in prison.

Rememberwho paysMY LATE dad instilled in his chil-dren the basic principles of treatingothers as you want to be treated, al-ways greeting and always saying“thank you”.I have, in turn, taught this to my

children and grandchildren.What I and others have experi-

enced lately is the way staff at somebusinesses treat customers.When entering these shops or

businesses you are greeted by a si-lence so loud it is quite deafening.The looks and attitudes of the staffgives one the impressionyouare ac-tually trespassing.When, out of desperation, you ad-

dress these staff the reaction is thatyou have disturbed some sort of un-seen meditation.Where are the days when a val-

ued customer – the pillar on whichthe owner and staff placed their fu-ture and survival – was given redcarpet treatment? No sooner has acustomer entered a businesspremises when they were over-whelmed with customer courtesy.Every pamphlet we are sent or

every advert is a message from abusiness inviting or imploringus tograce their business and spend ourmonies on their wares.But the staff need to be trained on

how to receive and direct the invit-ed customer – whether they pur-chase or not. Those who show cus-tomer courtesy are to be thanked.A quote from Henry Ford comes

to mind: It is not the employer whopays the wages. Employers onlyhandle the money. It is the custom-er who pays the wages.KEITH BLAKE

Special thanks to medical staffMYNAMEisRogerAugust and I live inWelling-ton, New Zealand.My dear son Rustum August passed away on

Thursday 30 August last year of leukemia.Iwould like to thankall the staff atGrooteSch-

uur Hospital for the seven weeks Rustum spentthere.(They include) Dr Davidson, Dr Strauss and

many more; Nurse Williams, J Olive, Z Abra-hams, CABooysen, C Booysen, R Bazalo, B Dav-ids, R Lloyd, XC Molly, N Solomons, S Slingers,

M Nwovhe, H Havenga, V Bent, R Ockhuys, FNdwandwa, S Holland and M Robinson.Also the cleaners, physio and Auggie, who al-

ways brought Rustum’s food with a smile.Spending such a long time with Rustum at

Groote Schuur gave me such great hope abouta positive South Africa again.I will be moving back to South Africa this

year.Thank you again, Groote Schuur Hospital.ROGER AUGUST

Call for help is quietenedI’MSHOCKEDbecause today I sawone of theFNB adverts under the heading “You canhelp”.In it, KellyBaloyi, a 17-year-old fromSowe-

to, eloquently pinpoints not only the issuesfacing ournation, but also her idea for a solu-tion.She is not calling for student boycotts, pro-

test marches or strikes. She’s not calling forburning of municipal buildings, looting ofshops or destruction of schools. She’s notcalling for barricading roads, burning tyresor the stoning of the police.She’s not singing songs that call for a ma-chine gun or the destruction of white farm-ers. She is simply asking for people to helpeach other.She says: “When you help someone, you

lift them up.When you lift them up, they canhelp other people, too.”

So why am I shocked? I am shocked be-cause FNB has bowed to pressure from theANC and the SACP and has now withdrawnthe advert. These two political parties be-lieve that this advert amounts to treason andundermines the government. This approachis reminiscent of the past apartheid govern-ment’s approach to those who opposed theirviews.No doubt FNB has realised that it needs to

heed (president) Jacob Zuma’s call, where hestated: “Business that support the ANC willprosper.”Perhaps they should rather look at some

of the statementsmade by (former president)NelsonMandela,who said: “Youwill achievemore in this world through acts of mercythan you will through acts of retribution.”ROGER WOODDiep River

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?TWO good pigs are dead.The mutilated bodies of the brothers,

both decorated police officers, were foundin their respective homes on the samenight in a savage and grizzly revengecrime. The prime suspect, a wolf, is still atlarge – and he wants the third little pigdead. TheThreeLittle Pigs is a taut psycho-logical thriller set in a world where Ani-mal Farm meets Reservoir Dogs and givesrise to a dark and unexpected take on theclassic children’s story.The delightfully twisted collaboration

features multi-award-winning artists Robvan Vuuren, James Cairns, Albert Preto-rius and Tara Notcutt.Described by critics as “dark, brilliantly

acted satire” and “a political thriller that

surprises at every turn”, The Three LittlePigs is a riveting and subversive adapta-tion of an age-old tale.The Three Little Pigs premiered on the

Arena programme at the National ArtsFestival in Grahamstown last year to ravereviews and packed houses. It was herethat it picked up invitations to travel tothree other international Fringe festivals,namely theFringeWorld inPerth,Austral-ia, the New York Fringe in the UnitedStates and the Amsterdam Fringe Festivalin the Netherlands.The Three Little Pigswill run at the Bax-

ter Golden Arrow Studio until 9 Februarywith tickets between R60 and R120 viaComputicket.There is an age restriction of 13.

Peninsula settheir sights onpromotionLIAM MOSES

PENINSULARFCwill be gunning for pro-motion when the 2013 Western Provinceclub rugby season kicks off in April.

The Lakeside team currently languish inDivision Three – the seventh tier in the ninedivisions of Cape Town rugby – but their new-ly appointed head coach believes smallchanges could see the club climb to a higherleague.

Creighton Bentley, who was elected as headcoach in October, believes the secret to turn-ing the club around is attracting local playerswho chose to play their rugby outside of thearea.

“I can’t see why we shouldn’t pull playersfrom this region instead of players having totravel to other clubs, when we can build aclub that can play in the Super League in fiveyears. We have the right ingredients,” saysBentley.

“There are definitely a lot of players in thisarea, but at present they prefer to get in theircars and travel other clubs.”

Peninsula RFC was formed in 1976, whentwo Kalk Bay clubs, Marines and Excelsior,amalgamated. The club played at City Parkin Athlone and was made up of only Colouredplayers during apartheid and, Bentley says,

the team has struggled to attract white play-ers since the dawn of democracy and theirmove to Lakeside.

Currently Peninsula draws most of its play-ers from Lavender Hill, Steenberg and theranks of the South African Navy, with veryfew coming from the more affluent areas inits immediate vicinity.

The club came close to losing their DivisionThree status last year, finishing eighth, justabove the relegation zone, in the 10-teamleague.

Bentley attributes their poor performanceto a lack of funds and appeals to companiesin the area for support.

“A lot of the players come from disadvan-taged areas. They come from areas wheregangsterism, violence and drugs are rife,” hesays.

“If we can have some sort of sponsorship,we cannot only feed them before games, wecould possibly give them something to takehome as well.

“I believe Peninsula can make a differencein these people’s lives with the help of a com-pany and sponsorship.”

Bentley hopes to attract players from theFar South, as well as across the southern sub-urbs. Anyone interested in joining or assist-ing Peninsula RFC can contact Bentley on084 7011 361.

Winning weekend for SA hockeyJONATHAN COOK

SOUTH AFRICAN women’s hockey stal-ward Pietie Coetzee scored two goals tohelp Investec South Africa to a 2-0 winover Austria in their final World Leagueround two match at Hartleyvale Stadiumon Sunday.

SAwent through to theWorld League semi-finals onSaturdaywhen theybeatAzerbaijan7-0 and Sunday’s match had no bearing onthat outcome.However, the host team still played to win

and the result was ensured by two sizzlingdrag-flick penalty corners from world recordgoal scorer Coetzee.The first goal came in the 10thminute after

BernieCoston’s pace down the rightwon SouthAf-

rica their first penalty corner and Coetzee ri-fled a flat astro-burner into the bottom of thebackboard.Six minutes later it was Shelley Russell’s

turn to use her pace and stick-ball control athigh speed to outflank her would-be tacklerand set up SA’s second penalty corner.Coetzee aimed for the top shelf this time

and beat Austrian goalkeeper Jasmin Ander-le with ease.Thedouble tookCoetzee’s international tal-

ly to 258 goals in 258 test matches.Although SA dominated the rest of the

match, further successful strikes didn’tmate-rialise.SouthAfrica’s pace on attackwas one of the

most impressive aspects of their play, and for-wards Russell, Coston and Sulette Damonswere just three of the frontrunners whoburned their markers away.The second team to qualify for the World

League semi-finals were Belgium, who beat

Azerbaijan 1-0 on Sunday.Fixtures for the third round will be an-

nounced when all second round fixtures arecompleted in March.The women in green and gold now focus

their attention on the prestigious InvestecChallenge, which also involves worldnumber one and 2012Olympic goldmedallistsHolland, as well as England and Australia.The Investec Challenge kicks-off at Hart-

leyvale Stadium in Observatory on Monday4 February.It culminates in themedalmatches on Sun-

day 10 February.
