OCEAN VIEW: RESIDENTS CALLED TO UNITE AND TAKE ACTION

Time to purge the scourgeASTRID FEBRUARIE

Ocean View residents have no other re-course but to unite to banish thescourge of crime, drugs and gangster-

ism from their community.Save our beloved Slangkop: Cry ofMother’s

Day Event, which took place on Saturday 10August, was aimed at promoting active citi-zenship and to dispel the negativity sur-rounding Ocean View.

“By showing that standing together willsave our community from the fall is the onlyway to overcome this cancerwithin our soci-ety,” says resident and event coordinatorEarl Mentor.

“We can bridge the divide between organi-sations, churches, civic associations. As weall know unity is strength.”

Mentor says residents are nearly para-lysed in terror, fearing another gang warerupting.

Parents are concerned that yet anothergeneration will fall through the cracks andbecome part of the drug demon smotheringthe community.

“Concerned parents, youth, churches andcivic organisations wanting to bring aboutpositive change in OceanView fully supportthe idea of uniting as they want to be rolemodels for other Cape Flats communities,”Mentor says.

He says the community is in need of long-term sustainable projects for youth and par-ents. “Without any projects the youth suffercausing division in communities.”

“The City of Cape Town and Law Enforce-ment are on board with our drive to eradi-cate drugs and gangsterism.”

Pastor Raymond Katts, of House ofPrayers Church and a resident of OceanView, said: “I believe if we all come togetherlike we did today we can achieve so muchmore. Positive change is needed in our com-munity. We understand that there is a needfor awareness, but little action has been tak-en to actually uplift the community.”

House of Prayers has taken up the initia-tive to start a project to assist parents andchildren.

“Our project is called Bondage Breakers,which is aimed at bringing awareness aboutthe dangers of drugs and alcohol abuse – notonly to parents but especially the youth. Peo-ple need to know they are not alone in this

fight,” he says.AdinAdams, founder ofMagwerk Produc-

tions and a resident of Ocean View, says:“WeatMWP arehere tomake people’s stom-achs turn. We use words to express how wefeel . Rapping and singing is our weaponagainst crime and gansterism.Wordswill al-ways bemore powerful than a gunor a knife.Weusemusic not to escape from the negativ-ity but to make people aware of what is hap-

pening in our community.”Adams says they are lyrical warriorswith

a single aim to bring about positive change.“The message which we wanted to bringacross at the event is that there are otherways to express yourself without hurtingyour neighbour or friend. We hope weachieved this.”

Moenieba Moses, who grew up in Oceanview, says: “I think today’s event was pow-

erful. There are people who will realise thatthings can change and somewill turn a blindeye, because they can’t see beyond the nega-tivity in our society.”

Moses says many people do not realisethey are not alone in the fight against gang-sterism and drugs.

“If we open up to one another like we didat the event today so much more can beachieved,” she says.

EMERGENCY NUMBER: CALLERS FEEL THEY ARE LEFT HANGING

‘No answer at 10111’NADINE MOODIE

When faced with an emergency, thefirst thing you need is help. Butwhen that help is a phonecall away

and no one is answering, you could feel likeyou’re left hanging.

A businessman says he’s called the 10111emergency number on numerous occasionsand had terrible experiences.

“I witnessed a robbery where people werestabbing each other,” says the man, whodoes not want to be named. “It was a heated

situation and people were getting hurt. Icalled the emergency number and there wasno answer. I was frustrated and afraid, so Icalled again and reported thematter, but thepolice never pitched.”

He says he no longer calls the police andinstead drives to a police station to reportcrime.

Language also became an issue.A previous time when he tried reporting

an incident to 10111, “the call centre opera-tor asked me to refrain from speaking Afri-kaans because he couldn’t understand me”.

He believes some 10111 operators don’thave a good command of languages spokenby the people whom they’re serving.

An elderly woman, who does not want tobe named, says she calls 10111 at least threetimes a week to report crimes , but very sel-dom gets a response from the police.

“It’s very frustrating when police encour-age residents to report crimes and promiseto come to your assistance, but never pitchwhen you call,” she says.

“I tried to report a case where a young girlwas being raped by her grandfather, but nooneanswered thephoneat thepolice station.I called (suspended chairperson of the pro-vincial Community Police Forum) HanifLoonat, who went to the police station to re-port the crime.

“The rapist is nowbehind bars becausewemanaged to go to the police to report thecrime. What happens in cases where peoplecan’t go to the police?”

The feisty woman says she sometimestakes the law into her own hands and per-sonally removes drug peddlers from herstreet.

Other residents walk to the police stationto report crimes because their calls are notanswered.

“The service is appalling. During Ram-adaan I called to report an incident and thecall centre agent put the phone down in myear because she could not understand Eng-lish. Another time my call was transferredto an answeringmachine saying they’re ‘notavailable at the moment’,” she recalls.

“I’m a pensioner and spend money buyingairtime to call and they don’t pitch.”

Heideveld Community NeighbourhoodWatch chairperson Mugidien Barnes saysthe service is at its worst over weekends.

“I’ve tried reporting shootings and domes-tic violence cases over weekends and no oneanswers the phone,” he says.

Loonat, who is suspended for criticisingthe Athlone Police Station, says he’s re-ceived countless complaints from peoplesaying they can’t get through at weekends.

He says government should upgrade thesystem so callers can select a language pref-erence.

Loonat says he’s relayed complaints todeputy provincial police commissionerGen-eral Sharon Japhta about the “inefficientand ineffective emergency number”.

He says some people who called thenumber were reporting shootings and do-

mestic violence.“I’ve received 30 complaints in the last

threemonths. I also tried calling thenumberand no one answered.”

It’s better for people to call 10111 becausethe system automatically logs the call andrecords the conversation, so then no one candeny facts of the conversation, he says.

Technological aspects need to improveand well-trained operators need to be em-ployed, Loonat adds.

“We should not be playing with people’slives. Money should be spent on this service,even though it’s costly, because our people’slives cannot be in danger.”

Provincial police spokesperson FC vanWyk says 10111 is a medium to receive com-plaints, which are “registered and dis-patched to the local police station or com-plaint vehicle responsible to attend to thecomplaint. It is the station commander’s re-sponsibility to attend to the complaint with-in their policing area”.

He says there are delays at busy times, likeweekends and month-end.

“All calls should be answered within twoseconds. About 63% of all calls are nuisanceand information calls.”

Patrons at the Red Herring Restaurantin Noordhoek have had to say goodbyeto live music – for now.

Owner Paul Beatham says he received acomplaint from a resident and decided tostop the music to find a suitable solution.

He has called in the help of a sound engi-neer to soundproof the venue. Although hecould not confirm when his patrons couldexpect to enjoy live music again, he says hewill first make sure all nearby residents aresatisfied with the result.

“Although we have only had one com-plaint, I feel this is irrelevant because we re-spect the entire community and want to takeeveryone into account,” says Beatham.

Rory Sales, a nearby resident, says al-though there have been noise complaintsabout the Red Herring in years past, he isunaware of any other recent complaints.

“At the time of those complaints, I suggest-ed soundproofing to the owner, but therehonestly haven’t been any recent problems,”says Sales.

Attempts by People’s Post to find the com-plainant proved fruitless. All neighbouringresidents ques-tioned said the livemusic did not both-er them and Beath-am has always beenvery accommodat-ing to the commu-nity’s needs.

Hendrik Novoa, aFish Hoek residentwho often goes tothe Red Herring, isupset live musicwill not be heardthere for a while.

“I don’t want tolisten to MP3s orCDs. I want to listento good, originalmusic and covers. Iwant to see musi-cians live. It is funbeing able to listento and interact on asmall scale with anentertainer onstage.”

He adds the prob-

lem is bigger than patrons not having a placeto listen to good music.

“Musicians have fewer places to play,practice and improve their trade. Where doyou think Elvis and the Beatles started play-ing? They didn’t get together and recordgreat albums from day one,” says Novoa.

“Just recently Matthew Mole, a singer-songwriter from Fish Hoek, debuted atnumber one on the local iTunes album chart.Musicians need the support and help of theircommunities as well.”

He adds to his knowledge, Red Herring hasalways been very strict about stopping livemusic before 21:00.

Beatham says he has been vigilant aboutstopping live music before 21:00 on aWednesday and 20:00 on a Sunday – the onlytwo days the venue has live entertainment.

He adds the entertainment mostly consist-ed of one or two people playing instrumentswithout backtracks.

“We didn’t get bands because the venue istoo small and they are simply too expensive.We have an open door policy for our neigh-bours. If they tell me what bothers them, Iwill go out of my way to accommodatethem.”

TMNP: TRAPS HELP WITH ‘BETTER MANAGEMENT’

Giving endangered species a snapping chanceGiving endangered species a snapping chanceTERESA FISCHER

No animal is too small for protection byTable Mountain National Park(TMNP).

At a visit to Cape Point Reserve, rangersvisit an innocuous small pool of black waterin the Cape fynbos heathland which servesas a breeding site of the endangered CapePlatanna or Cape Clawed Toad.They share their pool with the Common

Platanna, which in contrast is an unwantedvisitor as they started to interbreedwith theCape Platanna, resulting in hybrid popula-

tions. This had a further negative impact onCape Platanna populations because the hy-bridmales are sterile. On this visit CommonPlatanna are removed from the pond to im-prove the chances of survival for the endan-gered Cape Platanna.They are one of five species of threatened

frogs which breed within the borders ofTMNP, including the critically endangeredTable Mountain Ghost Frog. These frogsbreed in mountain streams in the reservenearNewlands/Kirstenbosch and this is theonly place in the world where they can befound. They feed on moss, taking a year tochange from tadpoles to frogs.Another near threatened species is the

Cape Peninsula Moss Frog, which, rangerssay, are extremely difficult to find.Marisa de Kock, section ranger, says com-

ing across one of these is “like finding a nee-dle in a haystack. One can hear them, butI have never seen one”.She adds not much research has been con-

ducted on these frogs.The Roses Mountain Toad, in turn, makes

no sound and is also critically endangered.Two breeding sites are known – one at CapePoint and one in the Silvermine Reserve, inthe vicinity of a path frequented by dogwalkers.The reserve is crucial to the survival of

these species, which may be overlooked byvisitors who are unaware of their presence.Meanwhile, the TMNP’s Cape of Good

HopeSection introduced camera traps about18 months ago, which help rangers gatherdata on species, someofwhichhavenot beenseen in a long time.One such animal is the nocturnal water

mongoose, which they say would otherwisebe impossible to spot.Porcupines, grey rhebuck, bontebok and

playful Cape clawless otters are just a few

of themany species snapped by the cameras,which are triggered by movement. Others,like the honey badger, still need to be cap-tured on camera.A faunal inventory was conducted as part

of the park’s management plan, which in-cludes the rehabilitation and reintroductionof animals such as the klipspringer – a tinyantelope hunted to local extinction in the1930s. Nineteen of these animals were re-leased into the park in 1999 and is now said

to bewidespread, having been seen atElsie’sPeak, Misty Cliffs and Rooikrans.All this information leads to better man-

agement of the reserve, say rangers,whoem-phasise the importance of knowing whichactivities may impact the habitats of thesecreatures. One example is damming up ofstreams which have a catastrophic effect onTable Mountain Ghost Frog population.Visitors can assist the park by driving at

the speed limit.

KALK BAY: ‘COMPLAINTS FALL ON DEAF EARS’

Drug peddlersa headacheNADINE MOODIE

Residents at the fisherman’s flats in Ka-lk Bay are at their wits’ end aboutdrug peddling.

And, say residents, they’ve directed com-plaints a number of times to ward council-lor David D’Alton.Chairperson of the flats’ body corporate,

Aashiq Numen, says: “We’re experiencingamajor problemwith drugs in the area andno activities for the youth to get involvedin.”Numen says they’ve contacted D’Alton

“on numerous occasions because we wantto rid the community of drugs, especiallyalong the Main Road and at the strandedboat which we call Titanic on HarbourBeach”.“Drugs are being sold from the boat and

even though we want to take our communi-ty back, our hands are tied.”He says days after drug peddlers are ar-

rested, they are released due to a lack of evi-dence.“It’s a vicious circle because policewould

move the peddlers from the Main Road andthen they set up shop among the flats.”He says the drugpeddlers shift their oper-

ations to the mountain caves, back to thestranded boat and again to Main Road.“We’ve asked for extra security and bins

over the festive seasonwhen the suburb ex-periences an influx of visitors, but we’restill waiting.”The community and D’Alton will have a

walkabout tomorrow (Wednesday 14 Au-gust) during which residents will “high-light the issues plaguing our community”.

Initially under the impression the resi-dents wanted to meet “about potholes andhow we can improve the playground nearthe flats”, D’Alton says: “I’m very happy tomeet with the community and looking for-ward to the walkabout.”He adds: “I am prepared to address any

issues which the community brings to myattention. I am especially aware of the frus-tration around the stranded boat which hasbeen on the beach for nearly three years.It is definitely the main source of the prob-lem and we’re in the process of addressingthe situation.”Resident and business owner Theresa

Lewis says the drug problem in the commu-nity stems from a combination of a lack ofpolicing and complacency among resi-dents.“Residents need to be less complacent

about the problems in our community. Itjust feels like it’s a vicious circle becausethe police arrests individuals and they’rereleased the next day,” she says.Muizenberg Police Station spokesperson

Stephen Knapp says they’ve made drug ar-rests, but that the activity on the mountainis difficult to control.“Releasing individuals on bail is not the

police’s fault. It stems from the justice sys-tem because everyone has a right to be re-leased on bail,” he says.“Residents need to remember this police

station covers a large precinct and drugsuse and peddling ismore prominent in Cap-ricorn Park.”V Have you witnessed the illegal trade of drugs inthe area? Starting with the word “Post” SMS yourcomments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Our Fine-estconference yetFine & Country’s International

Conference set a record forthe largest global attendance

with representatives from Russia,America, Hong Kong, Switzerland,France, Portugal, Egypt, South Af-rica, Nigeria and the UK. Fine &Country offices in Dubai, Qatar,Namibia, Malta and Spain joinedvia video conference link.Sunday 14 and Monday 15 July

saw Fine & Country, one of theworld’s leading brands in luxury re-al estate, hold its annual interna-tional conference proving to be the big-gest andmost successful yet. The daywaspacked full of guest speakers and leadingproperty experts from around the world.Held at the picturesque Walton Hall &

Hotel in Warwickshire, Fine & Countrybought a slice of the English countrysideto its international agents. It was in thisidyllic setting that Fine & Countrylaunched its new central applicant data-base and a strong direction in licensee re-cruitment in the UK and abroad.The applicant database aims to help

agents across three different continentsto maximise global opportunities and toenhance the buyer’s browsing experienceon theFine&Countrywebsite (www.fine-andcountry.com).This is one of a number of ways Fine

& Country hopes to make the experiencefor buyers and sellers as easy as possibleusing the latest technology and market-ing innovations.This system can be mutually beneficial

for both agents and buyers across theworld. Uploading applicants from acrossour operating countries is crucial for to-day’s buyers and sellers in the luxury resi-dential market.Aswe see Londondominated by foreign

investors, other European countries likePortugal and Spain are similarly seeing ahigh ratio of foreign buyers in this sectorfrom developing markets in Asia, Africaand Russia.Whilst information remains private, it

fundamentally allows Fine & Country’sinternational network to work in harmo-ny and go the extra mile for prospectivebuyers in other countries.Other exciting international develop-

ments announced included the continua-

tion of the exclusive iPad ad-vertisements in the Tele-graph’s latest news App. Fine& Country is still the only glo-bal estate agency group to ad-vertise their properties on theTelegraph App, showing eachoffice as the world leaders inmedia marketing.Fine & Country’s multi-me-

dia property marketing hascatapulted the brand into aworldwide arena. Along withthe new website tools like the

save property search functions and thebuyer’s database, our state of the art digit-al advertising continues to ensure inter-national properties receive the best possi-ble exposure to the widest possible audi-ence, to sell in the shortest amount oftime for the best possible price.Havingwon the Best International Real

EstateAgencyMarketingAward at the In-ternational Property Awards 2012 for thefourth consecutive year, the company hascontinually revolutionised the experienceof looking for anewhomeandwill contin-ue to announce new innovations at nextyear’s conference.MalcolmLindley, Fine&Country’sMan-

aging Director, says: “Ultimately, theFine & Country International Confer-

ence is a demonstration of how Fine &Country continuously and consistentlystrives to maintain and improve theirhigh standards in luxury property mar-keting and sales to deliver the best serviceto our customer.”On the local front the Fine andCountry

False Bay office, situated in FishHoek, hasrecently appointed threenewconsultantsfor Fish Hoek and Noordhoek. We nowhave agent representation in almost theentire False Bay area.

Double-digit growth for Engel &VölkersPROPERTY24

The Engel & Völkers group is continuing onits course of record growth already em-barked upon in the first months of the year.Internationally, Engel & Völkers under-

went strong growth on the American conti-nent and in Southern Europe.Following the strongest first quarter in the

company’s history, revenue growth in thesecond quarter of 2013 is at a double-digit per-centage rate. In total, turnover from commis-sion generated by the group with its licencepartners operating in 37 countries on fivecontinents rose by 18.8% to 123.9mEuros (pe-riod in the previous year: 104.3m Euros).Turnover is increasing particularly

strongly in foreign markets where the groupcommission revenues have risen by a totalof 30% to 46.5m Euros (previous year: 35.8mEuros). Group commission revenues fromthe brokerage of commercial real estate alsorose significantly by 27.4% to 28.3m Euros(previous year: 22.3m Euros).With a growth of 6.1% to 49.0m Euros (pre-

vious year: 46.2m Euros), brokerage opera-tions in residential property inGermanyalsoachieved a new record result once again.A clear recovery of the property market

and the ongoing expansion of the company’snetwork with the opening of new residentialproperty shops in the USA led by the licencepartners in Florida to a growth in commis-sion revenues of 50%, and of almost 90% inCalifornia.The rate of growth in South America was

almost 70%. “The intensive efforts to expandour network outside of Europe are having apositive impact,” says Christian Völkers,CEO of Engel & Völkers AG.He says they are seeing substantial oppor-

tunities for growth abroad, on the basis of thestrengthening economic situation on the realestate market. He says the broadly-based for-mation of their network puts them in a goodposition to make extensive use of these op-portunities.Residential property shops in southernEu-

ropean countries also profited from a furtherrecovery of the property markets. In addi-tion, the newMetropolitan Market Centre inBarcelona recorded a successful start, result-ing in overall revenue growth of 65% in thefirst half-year of 2013 in Spain mainland.Revenue on Majorca also saw a considera-

ble growth rate of 29%. The strong demandfor capital investments continues to have apositive effect on the business division forcommercial estate, although this potentialcannot be fully utilised due to a lack of suffi-cient offerings on the market.Craig Hutchison, CEO of Engel & Völkers

Southern Africa, says in South Africa theyhave had similar success with an increase of31%whencompared to the sameperiod in theprevious financial year.He says activities are still at a high, even

through the winter months, and expects it toincrease even further in the latter half of theyear when the country will experience a fur-ther increase in activities for the comingsummer months.

Unquestionably the best place to be during the cold wet cape winters. With

its mild winters, stunning beaches and steeped in history Simons Town is a

popular weekend and holiday destination for both local, upcountry and

international visitors. During the relatively depressed property market of

late, Simons Town is still maintaining excellent returns on investments.

Properties start at between R1.5m and R2m, an average family home will set

you back between R2.5m and R3.5m with the top of the market starting from

R5m. For property in Simons Town find us at Shop 1 ABC Building, 92 St

Harcourtsmen atworkThe real estate industry is a tough busi-

ness, but the salesMEN of HarcourtsMaynard Burgoyne, Fish Hoek, are dedi-

cated to achieving outstanding results, nomatter what. They “work hard and play hard”as the photos shows.Tony Cashel has a corporate and IT back-

ground with other business interests. He en-tered the real estate industry in 2007 joiningHarcourts in early 2010 as amanaging partnerand has achieved numerous sales in the FalseBay area.His influence in the Fish Hoek office has

had a very positive effect, achieving signifi-cant growth in sales.Wolfie hails fromZimbabwewherehe spent

many years in the furniture business, prior towhich he enjoyed a military background, in-cluding the SA Navy and BSAP, gaining awealth of experience in the field of communi-cations.He has been in the property industry since

November 2003 as a property consultant inthe Fish Hoek Valley and his track recordproves a genuine and trustworthy relation-ship with both buyers and sellers alike!Vic Duggan emigrated to South Africa in

1976 at the age of 25with an engineering back-ground. After 22 years as an independent fi-nancial planner, he returned to the UK to pur-sue a business opportunity.One year later and disillusioned with living

in the country of his birth, Vic and his wifeCarol decided to return to SouthAfrica in 2005where he became involved in the real estateprofession.Paul March emigrated from the UK earlier

this year to be with family. Having worked inretailmanagement for 25 years formajor com-panies like Tesco, Samsung and Apple, hejoined Harcourts recently as a real estateagent and it is proud to be part of an interna-tional companywhichhas been around for 125years.

Unapproved plans:treadwith cautionPROPERTY24

Estate agents and home buyers should beaware of the perils of buying a propertywhere alterations and additions have notbeen approved by the local municipality.Rawson says prospective buyers

should insist on seeing a copy of the ap-proved plans before signing any sale doc-uments and should use an architect or abuilding inspector to check the plansagainst the existing buildings.This is according to Bill Rawson of the

Rawson Property Group who says pri-vate once-off sellers are not governed bythe Consumer Protection Act (CPA) andare therefore entitled to sell their proper-ties voetstoots, which effectively passesthe risk of unapproved plans from theseller to the buyer on transfer.The buyer of a voetstoots property

would have to resort to expensive courtaction if the buyer wanted to claim dam-ages from the seller.However, Rawson says the situation is

much trickier for estate agents who aregoverned by the CPA because they facili-tate the sale of the property in the courseof their normal business. He says agentscould be held accountable for not educat-ing and informing the seller and purchas-er of the potential liability of not ensur-ing municipal building compliance.Rawson says prospective buyers

should insist on seeing a copy of the ap-proved plans before signing any sale doc-uments and should use an architect or abuilding inspector to check the plansagainst the existing buildings.John Graham, CEO of HouseCheck,

says he agrees with Rawson and for thisreason HouseCheck routinely offers avisual comparison of the plans with the

‘as built’ structures as part of its homeinspection services.He says the seller or buyer has to pro-

vide the HouseCheck inspector with acopy of the plans for a comparison.Graham points out unapproved plans

are only one of the serious risks whicheffectively pass from seller to buyer witha voetstoots property sale. The defects inthe house structure – roof leaks, damp orcracks, for instance, or unsafe or illegalgeysers or electrical or plumbing or gasinstallations – also effectively become thebuyer’s problem once a voetstoots salehas gone through.Estate agents can be held accountable

under the CPA for not educating and in-forming the buyer of potential liabilitiesand risks. According to Graham, the un-derfunded andunder-resourcedConsum-er Protection Commission has yet to ef-fectively flex its muscles as regards theliability of estate agents to properly edu-cate and inform buyers as to potentialrisks. But he says it is only a matter oftime before there is a test case and the es-tate agent’s liability to educate and in-form buyers is routinely enforced.Graham says more and more estate

agents are advising their buyers to makethe sale contingent on a home inspection.Rawson says if a buyer only later finds

out that the purchased property does notcomply with the approved plans it maythenbenecessary for the buyer to employan architect or a draftsperson to draft theplans of the house as it is now and to sub-mit the ‘as built’ plans to the municipali-ty for approval.Rawson warns the new owner may be

liable for a fine for owning a non-compli-ant building or may have to demolishparts of the building.

City is acall awayMasiphumelele residents will have

access to the City of Cape Townthrough a freecall service.

Demetri Qually, Mayoral CommitteeMember for Corporate Services, says:“The purpose of the FreeCall line is to im-prove service delivery by increasing ac-cess to the City’s call centre.“We are extending the network of Free-

Call telephones to areas where low vol-umes of service complaints and requestsare currently being registered –usually be-cause of a lack of cellphone airtime on thepart of the customer or a lack of availabletelephone lines.”The lines connect directly with the

City’s call centre, and residents are en-couraged to report faults, register com-plaints and make enquiries at no cost tothem. Residents can use the line to enquireabout accounts, refuse collection, illegaldumping, water leaks, sewer blockages,street lights that are not working, potholesand damaged roads.“They will also receive an acknowledge-

ment SMS with reference number for fol-low up,” said Qually.A call centre agent will respond to que-

ries from customers using the FreeCalllines and, where further action is requiredby a particular service department, thecomplaint or request will be logged bymeans of a service request.The pilot phase of this project was

launched in July 2009 when four FreeCalllines were installed in City facilities.

The battle for under-17 football domi-nance will resume this weekendwhen the 10th annual Engen Knock-

out Challenge finals kick off.Regarded as a proving ground for Cape

Town’s most talented young footballers,the Challenge is hotly contested by 16 ofthe Mother City’s best teams each year.The 10th edition will be no different,

featuring the under-17 sides from fourdifferent professional teams, two ofSouth Africa’s best academies and someof the Cape’s most well-known amateurclubs. People’s Post is the tournament’sprint media sponsor.InGroupA, Pinelands-basedOldMutu-

al Academy, Mitchell’s Plain’s KenparkUnited, Green Point Salesians and IslandRovers will compete for the top two plac-es and a spot in the next round.With excellent facilities, coaching to

match and a track record littered withthe spoils of junior tournaments, OldMu-tual are clear-cut favourites to qualify topof the group and face the second-placedfinisher from Group B.The rest will have to fight it out for sec-

ond place and face the tougher route tothe final with the winners of Group Bwaiting in the next round. Both Kenparkand Island Rovers are capable of sneak-ing through.In Group B defending champions and

five time victors Ajax Cape Town are ex-pected to brushaside any challenge in thegroup and finish with three wins and ahealthy goal difference.Fellow professional outfit Vasco da

Gama should fill the second spot after abreezing through the last qualificationroundwith a 100% record and an averageof three goals per game. Cape United andKuils River FC will most likely continue

onto the Plate section of the tournament.Group C is the toughest of the tourna-

ment this year.While tournament hosts and former

champions Santos will be favourites tofinish first, the race for second place isless clear cut.Grassy Park’s Crusaders are the form

side out of the three, after banging in 10goals in three wins during qualifying.But despite less impressive trackrecords, Coca-Cola Cup senior champi-ons Hanover Park and Kraaifontein Citycould be the group’s dark horses.ASD Cape Town Academy, Challenge

champions in 2010, will most likely takethe top spot in Group D with NationalFirst Division team Chippa United fin-ishing second.The Claremont-based club scored sev-

en goals and conceded none in three vic-tories in the qualifiers and have a historyof unearthing and polishing the roughdiamonds of Cape football since incep-tion. Atlantic Nacional and Bishop Laviswill scrap to avoid finishingat thebottomof the pile.The tournamentwill kick off at 17:30 on

BMT key to success at hockey tournamentLIAM MOSES

South Africa under-21 men’s hockey coachDarryn Gallagher hopes his players canshow big match temperament when theyplay in the senior men’s inter-provincialtournament (IPT) later this month.

The SA under-21’s will participate in thetournament, hosted at Hartleyvale, in prep-aration for the International Hockey Feder-ation (IHF) Men’s Junior World Cup in In-dia in December.

The final squad for the tournament willannounced after the IPT and Gallagherknows exactly what quality and skills hewants from players.

“We look for guys who are going to take(the lead in) the critical and crucial mo-ments. We are looking for guys who are go-ing to play with belief, regardless of thescoreline,” he says.

“Recently I have been involved in a fewinternational tournaments and theSAsideshave been so close to getting big results, but

have just not been able to take the crucialmoments like other teams.

“We’re obviously (also) looking for fitnessand conditioning, an understanding ofstructures and intelligent players.”

The SA under-21 squad currently num-bers at 31 players, but just 18 will competeat the IPT and the squad will be cut to be-tween 22 and 24 for the World Cup – depend-ing on how many players meet the coachingteam’s standards at the IPT.

Gallagher says he is currently leaning to-wards 22, as a smaller group allows the play-ers to be better focused. The IPT will be thelast chance for all players to stake theirclaim for a national place, whether they’re“fringe” squad members or those not partof the set-up at all.

“If anyone is going to play their way intothe team, then it’s going to be someone fromthat squad,” says Gallagher.

“For someone to come into the squad andnot have had any involvement in the build-up would be quite tough, but not out of the

question.”He adds that while winning the tourna-

ment would be a “bonus”, the only goal isgiving players equal time to prove theirworth.

SA have been grouped with England, Pa-kistan and Malaysia at the Junior WorldCup and will need to finish in the top twoof the group to qualify for thequarter-finals.With England at fourth on the FIH worldrankings, Pakistan at eighth and Malaysiajust below South Africa at 12th, competitionwill be tough.

Gallagher believes his side are capable ofmaking the top eight if they show the tem-perament and take those “crucial mo-ments”.

The IPT will take place at Hartleyvalefrom Sunday 25 to Saturday 31 August.V The South African under­21 players will have to carrythe cost of the trip to the Junior World Cup trip toIndia themselves. Anyone interested in sponsoring theteam can contact Gallagher at dgallagh­[email protected].

Baby Boks off to a winning startLIAM MOSES

The South African Schools rugby sidehope to “improveandbuild” on their 19-14 victory over England at City Park on

Friday.The match formed part of the Internation-

al Under-18 Series which also features Italy,France and Wales.

Team coach Chris October believes hisside will only get better after a shaky per-formance in the setpieces.

“The scrums are always a dicey affair, es-pecially with the new laws. This is the firsttime the boys played and scrummed togeth-er. We can just build on this and improve,”he says.

“In the first half we did well in the line-outs, but (it seems) they picked up our calls.A lot of work still lies ahead. The foundationhas been laid for success in the rest of the

series andweare looking forward to thenextchallenge. In terms of our defence, attackand kicking there are a few things we canimprove on.”

England broke the deadlock early in thematch when skipper and eighth-man JamesChisholm picked up from the back of ascrum in the SA 22 and charged over.

Sam Olver goaled the resulting conver-sion, but SA right wing Grant Hermanusnarrowed the deficit with a penalty soon af-ter.

SA captain and number eight Rikus Both-ma refused to be outdone by his Englandcounterpart and powered his way across thewhitewash to take the lead. However, Her-manus missed the conversion and SA lead8-7 at half-time.

Duhan van der Merwe extended South Af-rica’s lead in the second half, popping up inthe centres to gather a pass one-handed,

scythe through gap and dot down.Hermanus missed the conversion again

and it seemed it would prove costly afterChisholm and Olver retook the lead for Eng-land with another try and conversion re-spectively.

Flyhalf Brandon Thomas took over kick-ing duties, after Hermanus departed in-jured, and went on to nail two penalties tohand SA the victory.

October praised his side for their defen-sive performance, after soaking up the ad-vice of defence guru Jacques Nienaber intraining sessions last week.

“Right from the beginning we knew therewould be three aspects that was going to bevery important if we were to win the game;our defence, attack and kicking,” Octobersays.

“Defence must be the foundation on whichwe lay any success. Today the guys went out

there and showed a lot of character.”SA take on France at Outeniqua Park in

George at 18:00 today (Tuesday 13 August)and then face Wales at Boland Stadium inWellington on Saturday 17 August at 15:30.
