KOMMETJIE: BODIES WASHED UP

Farewell tofishermenMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The bodies of two Hangberg fishermenwere recovered at Kommetjie Beachthis week.

Garth Adonis and Jason Johnstone (both31) went missing when their boat capsizedwhile crayfishing last week. Johnstone’sbody was discovered by Kommetjie residentSebastianMillington yesterday (Wednesday5 February) while Adonis’ body was foundby a friend on Friday 31 January.Their disappearance sparked a protest at

Hout Bay Harbour on Wednesday 29 Janu-ary as fishermen claimed the men were“forced to poach” because of the ongoingfishing permit saga with the Department ofAgriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (Daff).Alfonso Wichman, owner of the boat, said

hehadbeenapproachedby fourmen, includ-ing Adonis, to use the boat for crayfishing.He says Adonis has been fishing for over 15years and was also waiting for his permit.“But people get desperate and so they go

without permits,” Wichman says.Just after 01:00 on Wednesday he agreed

to let them use the boat and they went outto sea.Wichmansayshe spoke toAdonis justafter 03:00 and was told the mist had madeit difficult to navigate. “He toldme theywerewaiting for the mist to clear and after thatI heard nothing,” he says.Wichman called a relative who was also

at sea at 07:00 and asked him to look out forthe boat. “He called and said the boat cap-sized. He told me Adonis and Johnstonewere missing and I ran to tell the Adonisfamily,” he says.Sharon Adonis, Garth’s mother, says she

was shocked and the family rushed to Kom-metjie where rescuers were looking for themen. As the day progressed theAdonis fami-ly started to lose hope of finding Garth alive.On Friday 31 January, the family was in-

formed that Adonis’ jacket had washed upand the search continued.“We waited and they told us they would

continue to search until Sunday. After that

the search would be called off,” she says.Just after 20:00 the family received a call

from an Ocean View man who was friendswith Adonis. He had been walking on thebeach with his girlfriend when he made thegrim discovery.“They said they saw his socks first and

when they removed the kelp they recognisedhim. We didn’t know the friend, but he hadthe contact details ofmy son’s girlfriend andso got hold of us,” Adonis says.The family rushed to the beach and the au-

thorities were informed. Adonis’ funeralwill take place at the multi-purpose centrein Hangberg on Saturday 8 February.“He was a Rastafarian and had very strict

beliefs, so we will give him the funeral hewould have wanted,” Adonis says.Wichman says the boat was taken by po-

lice for forensic testing.The Johnstone family was called to the

beach just after 10:00 onWednesday 5 Febru-ary. Johnstone’s sister Jennifer Richardssays the family was relieved when theyheard the body had been found.She says after nearly a week of searching

rescue teams did not give up and continuedto show the family support.“We started to lose hope and went to the

beach everyday just hoping we could findsomething.When I saw the navy blue jacket,I knew it was him,” Richards explains.Daff spokesperson Carol Moses says the

department regrets the loss and does notcondone the blocking of the harbour, whichtook place during the protest.“The incident is indicative of the impor-

tance and urgency to implement the small-scale policy so that the ‘informal fishermen’can be legally acknowledged in the sector,”she says.Moses explains the Marine Living Re-

sources Act (MLRA) will provide the legalframework for the implementation of thepolicy.“The amendments to theMLRAhave been

adopted by the National Assembly and arecurrently before the National Council ofProvinces,” she says.

ORGAN DONATION: AIM TO INCREASE DONOR NUMBERS

Gift of life after deathCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

One person can save seven lives.South Africa is one of the coun-

trieswith the lowest organ donationrates in the world.Currently, 4 300 adults and children are

waiting for organ transplants across thecountry.But a lack of registered donors mean

the chance of enhancing or saving a po-tential recipient’s life is slim.Organ transplantation is the surgical

removal of an organ or tissue from a do-nor and placing it into a recipient.The beneficiaries could be people with

end stage solid kidney, heart, liver, pan-creas or lung disease or people receivingtissue donation in the form of bone, bonemarrow, corneas, skin or heart valves.Most donated organs are from people

who have died, referred to as a cadaverdonation, but living people also donatekidneys and tissue such as blood, stemcells and platelets.

New startOver 25 years ago, Sathanathan Samu-

els (67) was dependent on dialysis to keephim alive.His kidneys had shrunk to “the size of

marbles” due to uncontrolled blood pres-sure.

He waited for five months before histransplant was done.“This is much less than most people,

seeing as some of them could be on dialy-sis for years while waiting for an organ,”he says.Samuels was also lucky enough to

have a dialysis machine equipped at hishome. One condition of the loaned ma-chine was that he motivate people fromtheMuslimcommunity todonate their or-gans.The pensioner says doctors had tested

his immediate family for a kidneymatch,but none of them were compatible.Samuels received a kidney from an un-

knowndonor andhis transplantwas donein 1987.He says that he is ever grateful for hav-

ing been privileged enough to receive anorgan donation as he is now able to seehis six grandchildren grow up.

Saving livesProvincial health minister Theuns

Botha says patients waiting for organs re-quire on-going care while their health de-teriorates,whichplaces an increasedbur-den on the health services.“As a country, we need to aim for at

least 1% of the South African populationbeing registered as organ donors by theend of 2014 andwewill start to save lives,”he says.There are currently four hospitals in

the province which perform transplants:Christiaan Barnard, Tygerberg, GrooteSchuur and Red Cross War MemorialChildren’s Hospital.

Groote Schuur Hospital spokespersonAlaric Jacobs says the provincial healthdepartment has launched a targeted cam-paign to increase the number of potentialdonors.“There are different factors that is re-

sulting in the low organ donation rates inthe country,” he explains.Six strategies will be adopted by gov-

ernment to push the numbers up.The department will establish a single

organ donor database, support existingprogrammes, improve accessibility of in-formation, increase opportunities for or-gan donation at hospitals, address infor-mation gaps about organ donation andsupport families and clinicians.

Spreading awarenessOne person can donate one heart, two

lungs, one liver, two kidneys and one pan-creas, potentially saving seven lives, ex-plains Samantha Volschenk from the Or-gan Donor Foundation.A lack of awareness and information is

the reason for the low donation rate, shecontinues.“We are not government funded so our

resources are quite limited.We are forcedto rely heavily on volunteering networksto get our information out there,” shesays.Volschenk adds that the benefits of or-

gan donation is it doesn’t cost a cent andthat you can have it on good consciencethat you have helped to save a life.V For more information on how to become an organdonor visit http://www.odf.org.za/ or call0800 22 66 11.

Chopper swoops in to help nab fourMICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertMB

In a scene that ticks all boxes for a first-rate action movie, a joint police opera-tion nabbed four criminal fugitives– complete with accidents, crowds anda helicopter landing in lunchtime traf-fic.A high-speed chase started after thestolen vehicle four suspects were travel-ling in, was traced via a tracker systeminWynberg onMonday 3 February, saysBellville police spokesperson CaptainFienie Nimb.The chase ended with the suspectscrashing into a silver Honda Jazz onDurban Road, Bellville, getting out andtrying to escape on foot, she says.“The four men, three aged 29 and one27, all from Lotus River, are part of ahouse break-in syndicate plying theirtrade across the northern suburbs,”Nimb says.Until the chase ended with the acci-dent on Durban Road, the police, in anunmarked car and with the help of thechopper, had been hot on the trail of thefour in the stolen white BMW.Nimb confirms at least one other acci-dent as the foursome sped down TygerValley Road.“The four tried to run a red robot atDurbanRoad, and in the process scrapedagainst a fully loaded InterCape busright into an oncoming vehicle,” shesays.“The car had been stolen inMilnertonand was positively linked, at a number

of police stations, to various incidents.”After the crash, the four jumped out ofthe car, ran down Bloemhof Street andinto Havenga Street. Three of the fourwere apprehended by Constable Jonath-an Booysen. The fourth suspect wascaught shortly thereafter by the DogUnit.“A firearm, which the suspects threwinto the yard at a motor dealership, onthe corner of Durban and Bloemhofstreets was recovered,” Nimb says.In the approximate five minutes inwhich the whole scene played out a po-lice helicopter hovered at street level.The suspects then ran into the alleywhere Booysen was waiting for them atthe other end.They could run no further.Small groupswere gatheredon thebal-conies and in front of businesses in thebusy road towatch the dramaunfold andthe suspects being arrested.“We saw the helicopter further up(Durban) road coming in our directionandmy colleagues and Iwerewonderingwhat a police chopper was doing here,”says Louisa Steyl.She and other colleagues were on thethird floor balcony of the building hous-ing the offices of TygerBurger, People’sPost and City Vision newspapers.“We showed the helicopter pilot bypointing where they had run into the al-ley. We could see everything from thebalcony; even the face of the pilot – that’show low he was flying,” she says.Traffic was disrupted for over an hourwhile the area was cleared.

CRIME: ‘ZERO TOLERANCE’

A new planfor Hout BayMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

TheHoutBay police precinct is on a driveto become the best policed area in CapeTown.

Speaking at a community meeting lastweek Community Police Forum (CPF) chair-person Jim McKenna said an in arrests andthe formation of two new sub-forums has ledto big strides being made in the fight againstcrime.In an overview of the police station’s per-formance over the past six months, head ofcrime intelligence Warrant Officer PaulLund said the station had adopted a zero tol-erance approach.In the last semester murder, rape, assault,robbery and sexual assaults have decreased,with aggravated robbery increasing.“These robberies are mainly occurring inMandela Park and Hangberg when peopleare on their way to work,” he said.In a further breakdown, Lund revealedsince July last year, 31 people have been ar-rested for committingmurders, five for rape,278 for drugs and 41 for house break-ins.In addition to this officers have also fo-cused on illegal shebeens andarrested 58 peo-ple for selling alcohol illegally.McKenna saidHoutBayPolice Stationwasranked the top station in the province fortheir crime prevention strategies in Novem-ber last year. Their aim, he said, is to “getto the top of the pile”.In addition to the installation of one cam-

era linked to the Constantia Valley Informa-tion Centre, McKenna said the forum wouldbe looking at technology to help fight crime.He said the aim was to create a centralisedcamera system where all networks came to-gether. “This, however, will be very expen-sive and we will need financial support fromthe community,” he said.Members from thenewsub forum in Imiza-mo Yethu raised concerns about the lack oflighting, as it affected patrolling.South African National Civic Organisa-tion chairperson Clifford Songwavu said pa-trollers in Imizamo Yethu struggle to seewhatwashappening in areaswhichare dark.In response ward councillor Marga Hay-wood said while the City could assist withlighting in Imizamo Yethu, installing lightsin the Dontse Yahke informal settlementwould be difficult as it formed part of the Ta-ble Mountain National Park.“Due to the National Environment Man-agement Act (NEMA) the City cannot installlights in Dontse Yahke,” she said.Songwavu suggested the installation of“big lights” which could light up the entirearea. The forum will now meet with Hay-wood and reviewamapof street lights in Imi-zamo Yethu.Last Friday (31 January) several patrollersfilled the police station to get suited up fortheir patrols.Station Commander Bongani Mtakati saidpolice will assist patrollersV Call Hout Bay Police Station on (021) 791 8660 toreport crime,.

BUSKERS: FURORE OVER PERMIT

New tunefor streetperformersMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

There is light at the end of the tunnelfor a young False Bay musician.BenjaminKer (13), a BergvlietHigh

School pupil, is known for making sweetsoundswithhis saxophone at Surfer’s Cor-ner in Muizenberg. On Saturday 25 Janu-ary he was stopped by police officers.His father, David, raised the alarm after

the young aspiring jazz musician was toldby officers he needed a permit.Confused by the amendments to the In-

formal Trading Bylaw, David questionedwhy his son was stopped.Benjamin says after playing at Surfer’s

Corner for a fewweeks, hewas gainingmo-mentumwith restaurant patrons and surf-ers. “I enjoy playing for people; it helpsmepractice and gain confidence. I make some

money doing it, but it’s not much and Imostly enjoy getting to meet new people,”he says.Despite patrons jumping to his defence,

officers insisted Benjamin get a permit be-fore playing.Last year the City of Cape Town an-

nounced its plans to amend the InformalTrading Bylaw to make provision forstreet performers.City director for Economic and Human

Development Thembinkosi Siganda ex-plains the amendments were released forpublic comment between November andDecember last year. Two public meetingsheld with affected parties.He says the Informal Trading Policy ca-

ters specifically for the trade of businessand goods while the City’s draft Arts andCulture Policy is for street performers.“This policy does not require a bylaw.

The Informal Trading Bylaw is merely aregulatory vehicle to cater for a street per-formance,” he says.Benjamin and other street performers,

under the Informal TradingBylaw, are notrequired to apply for permits, Sigandasays.“It is the view of the City that issuing a

permitwould, at this stage, be over-regula-tion. There are a few buskers who performin public spaces at different times. Cur-rently there is sufficient space and time forbuskers to perform, obviating the need fora permit,” he explains.Street performers are now allowed to

use public spaces and are only constrainedby the Streets, Public Places and Preven-tion of Noise Nuisance Bylaw.Siganda says the proposed amendment

to the Informal Trading Bylaw will allowartists tousepublic spacesMondays toSat-urdays from 10:00 to 18:00.

NEW POLICY: HAVE YOUR SAY

Focus oncamera policyMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Neighbourhood watches and communi-ty police forums (CPFs) across CapeTown have 27 days to submit their

comments on the City of Cape Town’s draftpolicy on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)cameras.

The policy, which focuses on the installa-tion of privately owned cameras on Cityproperty, was released for public participa-tion last week.

It was first announced by Mayoral Com-mittee member for Safety and Security JPSmith during visits to neighbourhoodwatches and CPFs last year.

The extensive document outlines diffi-culties experienced by the City with camer-as being installed without authorisation.

Its aim is to regulate all CCTV camerason City property and promote the use ofcameras to deter crime.

Organisations who have erected camerason City property or who wish to do so willnow have to make a formal application.

The policy will see the introduction of avetting committee, which will consist of theMetro Police CCTV department managerand officials from other City departments,who will decide on the applications.

Organisations will have to make a formalapplication which includes getting approv-al from their CPF or neighbourhood watchas well as their police station commander.

The application also requires a motiva-tion letter, business plan, Global Position-ing System (GPS) coordinates, camera spec-ifications and control centre information.

The policy states once an application isreceived the vetting committee will consid-er it. If the application is complete and accu-rate, it will be sent to the relevant City de-partment for approval.

Should an application be rejected the ap-plicant will be allowed to appeal the deci-sion made by the vetting committee.

Mike Voortman, chairperson of the Con-stantia Valley Neighbourhood Watch Asso-ciation, believes the policy will assist bybringing together decentralised systemsand information.

“This is vital in the fight against crime.It also enables the Metro Police to assist thecommunity and police by providing an ad-ditional monitoring and response layer,”he says.

Voortman believes the control the proce-dures set out in the policy will ensure moni-toring of footage is legitimate.

“This ensures footage is only released incontrolled formats to police and not to a res-ident, who may have a gripe against hisneighbour,” he says.

The policy also states all cameras cur-rently installed on City property will haveto be registered by Sunday 30 November.V The deadline for comments on the new policy isTuesday 4 March. For more information visit www.ca-petown.gov.za.

CRIME: EYES ON RUMMAGERS

No wheels to bring change?TAURIQ HASSEN

@TauriqHassen

Are trolleys a convenience for scrap col-lectors or the getaway “vehicle” forpetty thieves?

Last year a total of 276 shopping trolleyswere confiscated and impounded by the Cityof Cape Town’s Law Enforcement.However, Law Enforcement officials

maintain it has become difficult to effective-ly tackle this issue when stores fail to laycharges.“We had numerous early morning opera-

tions in most of the wards and confiscatedmost of the trolleys from the homeless peo-ple, but unfortunately the businesses refuseto lay criminal charges against these offend-ers,” Inspector Wayne Petersen says.Director for Safety and Security Richard

Bosman says unless the owners of the shop-ping carts are prepared to register a case oftheft of property, “it is not illegal to be in pos-session of a shopping trolley”.However, on average, Law Enforcement

confiscates 15 shopping carts a month,which amounts to an average of 180 to 200carts per year.“At present, due to the absence of an ap-

propriate legislative process, no action canbe taken against the owners,” Bosman says.“However, the City has a prescribed tariff

for trolleys that are impounded which ischarged on collection of the trolley by theowners.”He adds that the challenge for the City is

getting the owners to press charges and, inmany cases, the carts are vandalised andcannot be identified.“The lack of a bylaw to charge offending

parties is also an obstacle the City hopes toovercome,” Bosman says.“If the owner registers a case of theft, the

perpetrator will be arrested for the offence.”Residents are adamant that impounding

shopping carts is the answer to the illegaldumping problems plaguing Cape Town.Resident Anthony Jordaan believes trol-

leys are vagrants’ means of carting aroundstolen goods.He says they “head to scrap dealers to

make easy money”.“I amglad to hear something is being done

about it. I once caught guys (with a trolley)trying to steal my front gate,” Jordaan in-

sists.“The companies responsible for these trol-

leys must ensure there is proper enforce-ment measures at their businesses so thetrolleys are not stolen.”Suneel Khan blames the “trolley brigade”

for many vacant plots becoming dumpinghotspots.He says a local artery is a famous dumping

spot among the “trolley brigade” due to thelack of adequate lighting and visible polic-ing.

“It definitely helps to have the trolleys re-moved, because many of the vagrants relyheavily on this as ameans to transport theirgoods. And it’s mostly waste that will bedumped,” Khan says.V Residents are encouraged to report all members ofthe public using shopping carts for illegal activities tothe police or the City’s Law Enforcement departmenton (021) 596 1999.V Share your thoughts on trolley pushers.

Pukke outroar Ikey TigersLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

UCT’s Varsity Cup title ambitions weredented in a heavy loss to Pukke at theGreen Mile on Monday evening.

The Ikey Tigers were thrashed 47-24 infront of a packed crowd and have sunk to thebottom of the log as a result.

UCT have appeared in three finals andwon the tournament once since its inceptionin 2008.

They are usually considered serious titlecontenders.

But Monday’s performance will haveraised questions about their eligibility forthe VC crown, as they conceded seven triesand scored just three.

From the start whistle Pukke went on theoffensive, forcing UCT backwards. But it

was the home side who opened the scoring.UCT won possession inside their half,

broke into opposition territory and scoredthrough fullback Ross Jones-Davies, aftersome neat interplay involvingwing RichardStewart.

The Ikeys began to dominate possessionafter the try and were again most successfulon the counter.

Wing Liheli Xoli collected a lose ball andraced away down the left, but was forced tosend the ball back inside after being caughtby the Pukke cover defence.

Pukke looked to have rebuffed the coun-ter-attack, but the home side spread the ballright where flank Shaun McDonald took ad-vantage of the overlap and crossed over.

The momentum swung Pukke’s way afterthe try and, after simplifying their play andcutting down on errors, the visitors opened

their account when Juan Language crashedover at the back of a maul.

Pukke scored their second try two min-utes later, with elusive fullback SylvianMa-huza breaking from his own half and ghost-ing past several would-be tacklers to score.

The come back was completed in the finalminutes of the half, when Mahuza dancedround a defender in the 22, despite receivingthe ball flat-footed.

The respective goalkickers contributedtwo conversions each, and Pukke went intohalf-time leading 21-16.

UCT were the better starters again in thesecond half and scored their third try whenJones-Davies chippedover thedefence in the22 and regained possession to dot down.

The conversion from Dean Grant saw theIkeys claim a 24-21 lead, but it was downhillfrom there for the home side with a four-try

flurry from Pukke wrapping up the game.First lightening quick wing Luther Obi

burst down the left to score, then replace-ment forward Phillip de Wet crashed over,lock Francois Robberts barged into the goalarea and forward Daniel Jordaan came offthe bench to compete the rout.

Pukke captain and scrumhalf Tiaan Dor-fling converted just two of the second-halftries.

UCT would have hoped to seal a victoryin the opening game before taking on tradi-tional rivals and three-time tournamentwinners Maties in Stellenbosch on Monday.

However, they will be encouraged by theMaties shocking 45-29 loss to NelsonMande-la Metropolitan University in Port Eliza-beth.

Both Cape sides will be looking to setthings right on Monday.

SA women’s team clinch test seriesThe Investec South Africa wom-en’s hockey team claimed victoryin the test series against Belgiumafter drawing (2-2) the final matchon Monday evening.South Africa went into the game

with two victories, one loss andtwo draws, meaning Belgiumneeded to win to tie up the series.The visitors signalled their in-

tent early on, forcing the first pen-alty corner in the sixthminute andscoring when Anouk Raes pulledthe ball right of the defence.Belgium came close again in the

10th minute, when Louise Versav-el found space to win a second pen-alty corner after SA goalkeeperPhume Mbande’s initial save, butthe variation went wide of the farpost.The SA defenders did well to stop Belgium

from extending the lead. Then turned de-fence into attack in the 19thminutewhenLi-sa Deetlefs rifled a 30m diagonal pass fromthe left to striker Dirkie Chamberlain,whose full-stretch, diving deflectioncouldn’t find the back of the net.SAwon their first penalty corner after Pie-

tie Coetzee speared a perfectly-weighted ballthrough to Lilian du Plessis, but the hostsagain failed to reap a dividend as Belgiumkeeper Aisling D’Hooghe pulled off a superbsave.South Africa were improving steadily

thanks to the strong home support andD’Hooghe was forced to intervene again afew minutes later.Skipper Marsha Cox attacked the space

and fed Chamberlain, but her snap shot waskept out.The pressure finally told in the 32nd

minute, with Chamberlain turning from re-ceiver to supplier.The striker shrugged off defenders to set

up Kathleen Taylor, who sent a crisply-struck shot into goal.South Africa pressed their advantage and

took the lead three minutes later, when Coxcracked a rising shot into the far corner.Coetzee came close a couple of times after

the change over, while Bernie Coston wasoutstanding in relieving pressure through adetermined back tackle.In the 50thminute a lowCoetzee drag-flick

fromSA’s fourth penalty cornerwas stoppedby the in-form D’Hooghe’s outstretchedright leg.Five minutes later Mbande did the same

from Judith van der Meiren at the oppositeend.Belgium were turning the screw and

earned their third penalty corner with 10minutes left, but Anne-Sophie deScheemaekere’s powerful, low drag-flickwhistled past the outside of the post.The visitors refused to give up and re-

stored parity in the 64thminutewhen awell-struck cross evaded the SA defenders andfound captain Charlotte Vos, who made nomistake.Belgium almost stole victory in the dying

minutes of the game, but Deetlefs made acritical tackle to avert further danger andensure a series victory.

WP women advance to the play-offsLIAM MOSES

LiamCPT

The Western Province women’s cricketteam coach has demanded improve-ment from his side despite two crush-

ing victories last weekend.WP thrashed Eastern Province by 250

runs on Saturday and beat South WesternDistricts by 155 runs on Sunday, securinga spot in the semi-finals of theCricket SouthAfrica Women’s Provincial League.

But coach Cobus Roodt believes his sidecould have won both games by even biggermargins.

“We most probably performed at about75% of our ability. It wasn’t our top form,”he says.

“I believe we weren’t as clinical as wecould have been in the match against East-ern Province. We could have got to 320 plusruns and bowled them out for even less.”

WP posted 285/5 against EP and bowledthe visitors out for just 35 on Saturday.They scored 218 all out on Sunday, beforebowling out SWD for just 63.

On Sunday Roodt rested two of his front-line bowlers in preparation for the final ofthe tournament,whenbothplayers are like-ly to be away on national duty.

He says he expects the replacements to uptheir performances in the semi-final.

“They aremore or less there, but it’s a bigloss when you lose players to national du-ty,” he says.

“The main thing we need is slight im-provements in consistency in the areas theybowl. Your top bowlers will bowl six goodballs in an over, where as they maybe bowlfive in an over. That one ball starts to makea difference as the competition gets tough-er.”

He adds an improved bowling and field-

ing performance, together with his team’salready excellent batting, will see WP in“good shape”.

The bonus point victories against EP andSWD, together with the seven other bonuspoint victories WP have recorded this sea-son, means WP top the West/East group ofthe tournament.

Depending onhowwell thewinners of theCentral and Highveld groups fair, Roodt’sside could well host the semi-final and thefinal, if they advance that far.

WP are the only team to have played all

of their group stage matches and will haveto wait for the other sides to catch up to findout their semi-final opposition.

“The worse part is that we have a monthoff before we start the semis,” Roodt says.

“It’s not an ideal situation as you wouldwant to keep themomentum going. Nowwehave to sit and wait until the semis onWednesday 5 March.”

Roodt says his side will try and overcomethe problem by dividing the squad into twoteams and adding a few top club players forinternal matches.
