The house, located on the corners of Seventh and Jacaranda avenues, is giving residents sleepless nights as they fear crime is increasing. A resident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, says she lives in fear as she daily witnesses drug deals at the property. “The house is boarded up with corrugated iron so police struggle to get in. We see raids every week, but nothing changes. They just carry on,” she says. She claims, in addition to drug deals, the house is frequented by young men on bikes at all times of the day. During a visit of the area last week, Peo- ple’s Post saw a man exit the house and hand something to a man in a taxi. Residents explain this is a common sight and say: “If you value your life, you will just look the other way.” Men, who are posted on the corners, keep watch and alert alleged dealers of police in the area, residents say. “All through the night we hear them shout: ‘Mapusa, mapusa’. Many of them are also users,” she says. She says many residents have also had their homes and cars burgled as drug users frequent the area. “They come to buy drugs and then scout our homes. We know of motorbikes being stolen and burglaries. We need the authori- ties to take action,” she says. A City of Cape Town official, who fears for her safety and spoke on condition of ano- nymity, says she is at her “wits’ end” with the ongoing problems at the house. She explains a meeting between City offi- cials and Grassy Park police last year re- vealed there had been more than 90 raids at the premises in one year. She fingers the courts saying judges are too lenient on offenders. “The City, police and residents have all had enough. You cannot blame the police be- cause there is a record of the arrests, but they go in one day and are out the next,” she says. Grassy Park police spokesperson Warrant Officer Wynita Kleinsmith confirms the raids and says since January there have been 71 drug-related arrests at the property. There was also an arrest for the illegal pos- session of a firearm and ammunition. “We have regular raids at this premises and will continue with our operations,” she says. The official says during a fire at the prop- erty in December, she witnessed drug ex- changes. “The place was filled with other of- ficials, but they don’t care. The biggest con- cern is the number of children living in that house,” she says. Although the City has listed the house as a problem building, the officials say as the house is in a trust, they are having trouble finding the person responsible. She is unsure of how the problem will be solved. “I feel bad for people who live near this house. It really is getting too much now,” she says. V Share your thoughts and suggestions on this house.

HOUSING: DISABLED PEOPLE VENT THEIR FURY AT POLITICIANS
Mounting frustrationsLAILA MAJIET
@laila_newsie
Disabled people continue to be sidelined.This was the sentiment shared at a
housing meeting last week.Wheelchair-bound locals say they are ig-
nored when it comes to the housing waitinglist. Their needs are also never taken intoaccount when residential developmentplans are made, they contend.While a number of housing projects have
sprungup acrossCapeTown in recent years,wheelchair-bound residents say thedevelop-ments are not accessible for all.Deputy Minister of Women, Children and
People with Disabilities Hendrietta Bogo-pane-Zulu says disabled people must de-mand better standards of service delivery.She suggests a housing list for disabled
people be established to ensure those withspecial needs are not overlooked.“When houses are allocated, developers
must indicatewhogets theproperties. Thoselists can be inspected by the public. They arenot top secret. However, it is your responsi-bility to enquire,” Bogopane-Zulu says.Should ahouse not be accessible for a disa-
bled beneficiary, there is a rectification pro-gramme put in place by the Department ofHumanSettlements to address this problem.“There is money this government has set
aside for top-ups to ensure houses are acces-sible. If you become disabled due to an ill-ness, you can also make use of this pro-gramme,” she says.Anthony George is confined to a wheel-
chair. He believes more awareness needs tobe created to ensure the rights of disabledpeople are not violated.“People are not aware of the processes and
policies in place to assist them,” he says.
George,who is also theprovincial secretary ofDisabled People’s SouthAfrica, says nationalgovernment has put inplace policies that out-line the guidelineswhich provincial and lo-cal government shouldadhere to when buildinghouses.“These policies aim to
ensure accessible hous-es are built for the disa-bled, but are not alwaysadhered to,” he argues.Bogopane-Zulu reiter-
ates this and says her de-partment, which has anoversight function, testsnorms and standards.“Should you be con-
cerned about thesenorms and standards not being upheld, con-tact my department so we can investigate.”Zou Kota-Fredericks, the deputy minister
of human settlements, says there are hous-ing developments where no disabled peoplehave benefited.“Each developermust set aside houses for
people with disabilities. These houses needto take into account the needs of the disabledperson.”AndileNdabeni says houses built inKhay-
elitsha do notmeet the needs of disabled peo-ple.“It sounds like to our leaders we do not be-
long in South Africa. I was told that a devel-opment in Site C is not suitable for peoplewith disabilities. If we do not belong in thesecommunities, where do we belong?”Hispatience iswearing thinashehasbeen
sent from pillar to post in a bid to resolvethe matter.“As disabled people we are always told to
be patient. Politicians always talk, but whenare they going to work for us?” he asked.Wheelchair-bound Allen Gordon ques-
tioned the sincerity of politicians speakingat the meeting.“This sounds like a story I have heard five
years ago. How long are we going to wait be-fore you take action?” Gordon asked.Two resolutionswere takenat themeeting
to address the public’s concerns, this in-cludes spreading awareness about the rightsand responsibilities of disabled people interms of the allocation of houses.It was suggested that the Department of
Human Settlements open a satellite office inthe Western Cape.

PELICAN PARK: CITY ‘IGNORING’ RESIDENTS’ SAFETY
Traffic lights interventionLAILA MAJIET
@laila_newsie
A request for robots at a busyintersection on Strandfon-teinRoad is yet to be respond-
ed to.So say aggrieved Pelican Park
residents.The “problematic intersection”
at Barbet and Strandfontein roadshas residents calling for action.Mariam Abrahams has been liv-
ing in Pelican Park for over 20years.She says an application for traf-
fic lights was submitted severalyears ago.However, City of Cape Town offi-
cials say they only received a re-quest in April last year.Brett Herron, Mayoral Commit-
teemember for Transport, says therequest for signalisation was re-ceived on Tuesday 30 April 2013.“This specific crossingwill be af-
fected by the next phase of theStrandfontein Road upgrade andall applications for traffic lightsneed to be reviewed in light of thefuture plans for that corridor as awhole,” he says. “The City’s finalresponse to the request for signalsat this intersection will be directlyconveyed to the applicant as soonas the extent of the planned up-grades is known.”PelicanPark resident of 20 years,
Peter Hendricks, believes the com-munity has been overlooked.“Traffic lights were installed at the
new housing development onStrandfontein Road, but the re-quests of those who have been liv-ing here for all these years havebeen ignored. We have for many
years struggled to turn into theroadswherewe live as there are norobots at many of the intersec-tions,” he fumes.People’s Post questioned City of-
ficials about this, to which Herronresponded: “Once the upgrade ofthe Strandfontein Road corridor isconcluded, it would ultimately en-sure safe access to and fromBarbet
Road. A detailed response will beissued directly to the applicant atthe end of this month.” It is expect-ed Phase 3 of the upgrade will com-mence by January 2015.“We request that the public
please be patient while the plan-ning and implementation of thethird phase of the StrandfonteinRoad corridor upgrade proceedsthrough to completion. This up-grade is a huge enterprise for thebenefit of road users in that it willprovide safe and decent roadsalong this corridor,” Herron adds.People’s Post recently stopped at
the intersection.On some occasions it tookmotor-
ists up to five minutes to cross thebusy juncture. A bus stop is alsojust a few metres away from thebusy intersection.Commuters say many accidents
have happened near the crossing.Tanya Mathews believes traffic
lights would go a long way in ad-dressing reckless and negligentdriving.“Manymotorists do not have the
courtesy to give other road usersright of way. A set of robots wouldchange this,” she says.Should you wish to submit a re-
quest for traffic lights, Herron en-courages a detailed motivation begiven.“A duly motivated request can
be submitted to the City for consid-erationwhereafter theCity appliesthe relevant standards to evaluatethe merits of the request,” he says.

Shotgun action at drift seriesCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The tarmac is tattooed withfreshly ripped rubber fromhigh-powered rear-wheel
drive cars. These souped-up mon-sters of the road cost more thanjust a pretty pennyand they are theowners’ pride and joy.Amakeshift drift arena set up in
the car park at GrandWest is blan-keted in smoke as drifters show offtheir skill behind the wheel.The excitement is palpable as a
select handful are about to experi-ence drifting from the co-driver’sseat.The experience was part of the
SuperDrift Series, in collaborationwith Wheels of Fury, held atGrandWest onFriday 11 and Satur-day 12 April. It is a gathering of thelikeminded: petrolheads and thosewho dream to drift when their ageand pockets will allow.Jaws drop and there is much to
gawk about as the throngs take inthe spectacle of colours, specifica-tions and the personalities thatmake up the world of drifting.Cars are revved in preparation
for the short track and the adrena-line gets pumping as the bravesouls – myself included – step up toplace our lives at the mercy of su-per-skilled drivers steering exorbi-tantly priced engines.Dropping gears, precision execu-
tion of a bend around the clip
marks and just the right amount ofsmoke put up quite a show to thespectators.In no time, the area is covered in
tyre smoke as drivers give thecrowds what they’ve been waitingfor.
Photo opportunities are snappedup and petrolheads eagerly com-pare their favourites.Clare Vale – a woman drifter –
walks by, sending fans into a bit ofhero-worshipping.Her Ford Mustang Can-Am pow-
ered beast can prowl comfortablyamong the gentlemenof this series.The veteran drifter is as cool as ahosed-down intercooler.Soon enough it is my turn to ride
shotgun in one of the roaring beau-ties.
The person towhom I entrust lifeand limb isAlex Simon – inhisNis-san 350z kitted out with a Lexus 4FV8 engine.We’re given the go ahead just as
the preceding BMW E30 – whichisn’t really a thoroughbred BMWas it hides a Toyota Supra 1JZ mo-tor under its hood – exits themake-shift track.Safety requirements dictate that
driver and passenger don longsleeves and helmet.Cellphone at the ready to capture
every second of my drifting eupho-ria, I hit the record button.Simon cozies up to the starting
line. Then it happens andwe’re off!Oh. My. Hat. Nothing in the
world could prepare me for whathappened next.Tyres screech as we leave the
start line and within seconds ourfirst turn is in sight. I bracemyself.A squeal of delight escapesme as
Simon opposite locks (wheels go-ing left while the steering wheelgoes right or vice versa) and I tryto keep my cellphone camera fo-cused on every aspect of this bliss.Smoke billows, filling the car, as
the tyres build traction on thescorching tarmac; a smell all too fa-miliar to those who frequent mot-orsporting events.Simon speeds through the tight-
est corners with ease and makes itlook as if drifting is easier than go-ing top speed on a straight stretch.The best 38 seconds of my life.

WETTON ROAD BRIDGE: HAVEN FOR GANGSTERS
A crime denCARLO PETERSEN
@carlo_petersen
Miles ‘Miley’ Morgan has been a gang-ster for as long as he can remember.
The 38-year-old says he knows noother way to live.
He admits that crime is the only way hesurvives and has been to jail more than 20times.
Morgan is one of eight gangsters who re-cently set up house underneath WettonRoad bridge in Dolphin Way.
“Crime is our way of life; there is no otherway for us because that is all we know,” hesays.
“I have tried to work doing a normal job,but I always end up going back to crime andthen I lose the job.”
Morgan became a member of the 26s gangwhile in prison and says he has lost faithin trying to lead an honest life.
“I know that by stealing I will alwayshave something on my plate at the end ofthe day. Living a normal, clean life justdoesn’t make any sense to me.”
The former Hanover Park resident ad-mits to using drugs as well.
“That’s what we do for fun – it’s our pas-time, like a hobby almost,” he says.
Two years ago, about 30 people wereforced to move when the City of Cape Townand Metrorail set up steel fencing aroundthe area to keep the homeless out.
Sandra ‘Ouma’ Fielies (57) has been liv-ing near the bridge for over 10 years now.
Fielies was one of the 30 vagrants whowere removed in 2012.
She has since taken up residence under-neath a pedestrian stairway along with 10other vagrants on the opposite side of thebridge in Dolphin Way.
“We are not involved in crime. We getfood from residents and do odd jobs formoney, but those guys on the other side are
the ones causing the trouble,” Fielies says.The Lansdowne Community Policing Fo-
rum (CPF) has been bombarded with com-plaints about criminals living under thebridge.
CPF chairperson Thetha Sithole sayscrime in the surrounding area near Wettonstation is a sore for years.
“We need to sit down and speak to thembecause they are clearly not going any-where. We need a holistic solution to thisproblembecause it’s not just thepeoplewholive under the bridge who commit crime inthe area.”
Sithole says the area’s neighbourhoodwatch will also be playing a big role in keep-ing crime at bay.
Wetlands Neighbourhood Watch chair-person Maahier Moos confirmed they willbe having a joint operation with policesoon. “We have been monitoring the situa-tion there and are busy liaising with policeto go in there and search the premises.”
Moos says a neighbourhood watch mem-ber also confirmed drugs are being soldthere.
Resident Michelle Dreyer feels policeshould be doing more to curb crime.
“We know the vagrants are here to stay.What police should be focusing on now isfinding solutions to the crime issue.”
Dreyer thinks police should make moreof an effort to get the community involvedin fighting crime. “The police should be go-ing door-to-door to educate residents aboutcrime awareness and what we can do tohelp them.”
Lansdowne police spokesperson Ser-geant Nkululeko Mnyaka says they areaware of issue. “The problem there is an oldone because it is difficult to just move thepeople away. Some of the criminals don’teven sleep there. They just use the bridgeas a place to hide. It’s almost like a halfwayhouse for them,” he adds.

EDUCATION: BRIGHT EYES AT PRIMARY SCHOOL
What a spectacleJODY FORTUIN
@JodyF13
They’re looking at the world with neweyes. Zeekoevlei Primary School pu-pils were the fortunate candidates
blessed with enhanced vision by NGO Jon-ga Trust.All 600 pupils from Zeekoevlei Primary
were screened to test their eyesight for anyimpairments. The screening took placeover 10 days, from February to March.“Children without spectacles can’t learn
properly or they copy froma friend because
the board is too far, which is very sad,” saysJonga Trust project manager Dianne Pow-ell.The screening resulted in 50 pupils being
identified to wear spectacles.They could choose their own frames.On Tuesday 15 April, optometrists from
Jonga Trust returned to Zeekoevlei Prima-ry to hand over the spectacles.“The most amazing feeling for us as an
organisation is when the children put ontheir glasses for the first timeand their eyesand faces light up, because everything isclear,” says Powell.

Gun bustTwo men were arrested for the possessionof illegal firearms by Grassy Park police.Provincial police spokesperson Captain
FC vanWyk says the suspects were arrest-ed during an observation operation onWednesday 9 April.“Police were following up on informa-
tion about suspects involved in bankfraud,” he says. VanWyk says officers exe-cuted a search in a house on 10th Avenuelooking for suspicious items, includingbank cards and cloning machines, whenthey found a black and red bag in the ga-rage containing three firearms.“After the two suspects in the house
could not give a reason for the firearms,they were both arrested for illegal posses-sion of firearms and ammunition, and pos-session of prohibited firearms,” he says.The two suspects, aged 24 and 25, are to
appear in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Courttoday.
RETREAT: MINISTER OF FINANCE TO TOUR PROBLEM SPOTS
A closer lookLIAM MOSES
@LiamCPT
The Retreat Business Forum will leadWestern Cape finance, economic devel-opment and tourism minister Alan
Winde on a tour of the area next week.The organisation believes the province
and City of Cape Town are not doing enoughto foster business growth in the area.
Retreat Business Forum secretary KevinSouthgate says Winde will be shown all theproblems hampering business growth onThursday 24 March.
“We hope it will create awareness and ex-pose him to the challenges we face as busi-nesses,” he says. “It will put the develop-ment of Retreat business area on the agenda.If the government doesn’t help us then weare fighting a lonely battle. Now that thePrincess Vlei development has been put torest, we are saying that if there was a needfor something of that nature then the gov-ernment should look at the Retreat businesscorridor instead.”
Southgate says two major factors are cur-rently inhibiting business growth in the ar-ea. The first is the presence of several illegalscrap dealerswho buy stolenmetal, creatinga marketing for stolen goods.
The second is the presence of several largeopen spaces which, Southgate says, eitherbelong to the City or have been donated bythe City toNGOs. Southgate says these largeopen fields become illegal dumping grounds,places where crimes are committed and are-as for homeless people to squat.
“The City makes land available to appli-
cants likemosques, churches andNGOs, butthere is no provision made for them to atleast enclose the place,” he says.
“The land is then allowed to lay dormantbecause the applicants don’t have any mon-ey.”
Southgate says the City must look at howthey make land available and insist that ap-plicants enclose these properties.
Winde says this is exactly the sort of issuehis department aims to solve. “That’s exact-ly what the Red Tape Unit does,” he says.
“We will try to resolve whatever issue isstopping the development ormaybe the landmust go back to the government and some-one else must do something with it.”
Winde says he will be doing research onthe area prior to the visit.
“I will look at what the opportunities arefor economic growth,” he says, adding“which levers need to pulled and pushed,what skills shortfalls need to be addressed(and) what the best way to do that is.”
Southgate says the forum aims to takeWinde through the industrial area on TenthAvenue and the retail area in Retreat Road.

Fresh attempt to help the homelessRenewed emphasis is being placed on as-
sessment centres for street people.The assessment centres are one of
the interventions that the City of CapeTown’s social development department hasintroduced in recent years to ease the plightof those who find themselves on the streets.The City of Cape Town is spending nearly
R1.8m on funding for assessment centres inthe financial year and currently has con-tracts with eight service providers to oper-ate centres in central Cape Town, Maitland,Muizenberg, Mitchell’s Plain, Bellville,Strand, Table View and Atlantis.Since January, 135 people have been
through the assessment process, with 25 ofthem having already been successfully re-
integrated into their communities, says astatement.The project was created to provide a place
where street people could seek assistance.Suzette Little, Mayoral Committee mem-
ber for Social Development and Early Child-hood Development, says: “As with all newinitiatives, it has been a period of trial anderror and we reached a point where some ofthe original centreswere not operating as ef-fectively aswewould have liked.We then re-fined the criteria and the outcomes and oncemore put the services out to tender, and nowwehave eight centres across themetropole.”The assessment centres are run by vari-
ous NGOs which provide street people withaccess to emergency shelter and a profes-
sional assessment of theirneeds, so that theycan then access the services which will helpin their rehabilitation.This includes counselling, creation of job
opportunities, life skills programmesandre-unification with their families.“On the other end of the spectrum, we
have those who deliberately migrate to thestreets because begging is considered profit-able,” she says.“That is why the City has introduced its
Give Responsibility campaign to discouragethe public from making donations directlyto street people and instead support estab-lished organisations working with streetpeople.”The social development department will
be undertaking an audit of the number ofpeople living on Cape Town’s streets.Once the audit is complete, the resultswill
be analysed and used to inform the depart-ment’s Street People Strategy.“We need to constantly reassess whether
our existing interventions outlined in ourStreet People Policy are making an impact.However, it must be borne in mind that theCity cannot deal with the issue of street peo-ple alone,” Little says.That iswhy theCityworkswithNGOsand
other government departments, she says.“We also need the public to join our part-
nership, because for as long as people con-tinue to give hand-outs, all of our efforts willcome to nought.”

ECD CENTRES: FUNDS A BOOST FOR UPGRADES
Investing intheir futuresASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Three newly upgraded educare centreshavebeenunveiled inGreaterPhilippias part of an ongoing Early Childhood
Development project.The Injongo project – a partnership be-
tween Claremont Rotary, the Cape TownCycleTourTrust and theLewisGroup–wasinstrumental in improving and upgradingthe centres.
Pumeza Mahobe, project manager of theClaremont Rotary ECD project, says theyare thrilled to unveil these educare centresas the latest phase in the project. “Childrenare our nation’s future and we believe thatby investing in themnowbymeansofmoraland social support, we are enabling them tolead better lives and are making a differ-ence in their futures,” she says.
Mahobe says through the five-year Injon-go project, they have addressed variousECD issues like nutrition, stimulation, careand infrastructure to create a sustainablecommunity in the Greater Philippi area.
“We aim to improve education and up-grade infrastructure to ensure that theseECD centres meet safety and health stand-ards, and that we improve the lives of thosewho need it most,” she says.
The educare centres which benefitedfrom the project include Albertina Sisulu,Monwood and Nontsebenziswano educarefacilities.
PaulRoux, formerpresident of theRotaryClub of Claremont, says an extensive needsassessment was done prior to the selectionof these sites. Selection was based on needsand priorities. “The improvements includ-ed structure, roofing, interiors, toilets, andreplacement of a container with a building,gardening and landscaping,” he says.
Roux says the upgrade of these facilitiestook up to nine months. “The total cost forthe upgrade was R3m. These upgrades in-crease the chances for children to do well.”
Roux says that unless the needs of edu-care facilities are addressed properly, chil-drenarenot school ready for the foundationphase of education and are likely to achievepoorly later in their schooling careers.
Mahobe says the special handover ofthese schools is the newest phase in Clare-montRotary’s continuedefforts touplift thecommunity. “With the added support of theLewis Group in 2013, this latest phase of theproject strives to meet the needs of under-privileged children at 47 ECD centres,” shesays.
These centres provide ECD resources fornearly 3300 children frombirth to six years,and employ over 200 teachers to dispense vi-tal knowledge and skills.
Eion Brown, chairperson of the RotaryClub of Claremont, says the club places akeen focus on charity anduplifting the com-munity. He says the club is extremelypleased it can inject money raised from theannualCapeArgusCycleTourback into thecommunity through projects like Injongo.
He says they decided, after launching theSakhingomso Educare Centre two yearsago, that it was not enough.
With continued support of the Cape TownCycle Tour Trust and added support of theLewis Group the first four educare centresare officially up-and-running. He is lookingforward to the next phase of their five-yearcampaign.
“The ultimate goal of the Injongo projectis to enable all ECD centres to meet thestandards for registration and to qualify foradditional funding support in order to pro-vide essential services to those in need,”Brown says.

The provincial Department of Health ismanaging the available stock in the prov-ince to reduce the impact as far as possi-ble, says the department in a press re-lease. “In theWestern Cape, we are doingour best to manage the stock situationwith the available stocks,” says provin-cial Minister of Health Theuns Botha.“We will keep our patients informed.”In the meantime, Botha says, “patients
should contact their local healthcare fa-cilities to enquire about the availabilityof stock”.“Should stock not be available immedi-
ately, please ensure that the child is im-munised as soon as stock returns to nor-
mal,” he advises.As an interim arrangement, vaccines
are being re-distributed between provin-cial facilities to maintain a balancedavailability of vaccines.According to a letter from the Biovac
Institute, the national supplier, 1.8 mil-lion doses of measles vaccines will be de-livered to the national Department ofHealth by the end of this month.More than three million doses of polio
vaccines were not released by the suppli-er.This is as a result of the vaccine vial
monitor being out of specification andcould not be released.Replacement polio vaccines stock is
scheduled to be released towards the endof May.

Honouring Giantsin MaitlandGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
An era when sport played a big part inthe community was rememberedwhen Maitland Giants Baseball Club
recently hosted a reunion.Former star players spoke about the
game with fond memories of the enjoymentit brought to them and, most importantly,the positive impact it had on them as jun-iors taking the lessons of discipline intotheir adult lives.
While many of those players may haveleft Maitland and spread across the penin-sula, it was obvious that the Giants re-tained a special place in their hearts.
This event was the brainchild of MilesOctober, a former player who rose throughtheir ranks from junior level, and wants togive back to his community through a neworganisation Play Sport4Life (PS4L).
“The organisation is a new developmentventure based in the Kensington, Factretonand Maitland areas that wants to revivesport in the area,” he says.
“We organised this event to highlighthow important sport was in the communityand to honour some of the club’s formergreats who were inducted into the Hall ofFame. It’s important that we show our ap-preciation for the role these guys played.”
While the evening was well attended andsaw former players from many eras get to-gether for the first time, there was also abig surprise.
“Kenny Roman, the club’s star pitcher inthe 1970s, was flown in from Australia to at-tend the event and surprised birthday boyDanny Page when he walked in with a hugeMaitland Giants birthday cake,” Milessays.
“This was very special for so many of themembers because Kenny was one of thestars of our teams. He shared some of thehighlights of his playing days with the gath-ering.”
Miles is serious the goals of PS4L in hishome suburb. “We want to revive sport inthe community as a means to deal with thesocial issues plaguing it – rampant drugabuse, gang violence and crime.
“PS4L intends to provide a safe environ-ment where children and adults can playsport and have fun and at the same time,learn essential skills such being disci-plined, team work and respect for others.
“Other sports clubs which have benefitedfrom PS4L sponsorship this year includesNorway Parks Football Club, Athlone A’sBaseball Club and Kenfac Phillies SoftballClub.”V For more information on PS4L visit www.play-sport4life.org

Lauren shoots for the starsLIAM MOSES
@LiamCPT
Most sportsmen and women will be fa-miliar with the saying “hard workbeats talent when talent doesn’t work
hard”.Most will also understand it means they
need to be determined, committed and dili-gent even though they are naturally gifted.Few will be able to actually apply the ad-
vice offered and reach the pinnacle of thesport they practise.And only a handful embody the statement
in the way that Western Province under-18netball star Lauren Nicholas does.The Plumstead High pupil plays for her
school and club teams, and spends most ofher free time on the netball court.She recently played through the pain of a
serious ankle injury at the action netball in-ter-provincial tournament.“The medic said I had a torn ligament and
that I couldn’t complete the tournament, butstill I decided to play the next day,” she says.“I had tears in my eyes throughout the
match but if my mind is set on a goal, I willcomplete it no matter the obstacles.”The 16-year-old started playing netball as
a 10-year-old at Plumstead PreparatorySchool and has been hooked ever since sheshot the ball the first time.“It all started during a fun day at school
and one of the activities was netball shoot-ing,” she says.“I picked the ball up and shot it; I was sup-
posed to give someone else a turn, but I in-sisted that they let me do it again.”.Her love for the game and natural ability
was first noticed a year later in grade fiveat John Graham Primary School, when shereceived Western Province colours for thefirst time.She went on to represent Province again
from grades 6 to 9, before playing for the ac-tion netball side for the first time this year.The Ottery resident says she only started
playing the indoor version of the game lastyear.“I was overwhelmed, because I didn’t ex-
pect to actually get into the Western Prov-ince team,” she says.
“The Plumstead High under-19 team wonour league and played in the finals in Dur-banville, where a scout asked me to comeplay for Claremont Arena indoor netballteam. From there I was asked to try out forthe Western Province team.”Nicholas’ side managed to claim fourth
place at the tournament, but she feels theycould have done better.Her talent and warrior spirit once again
caught the attention of scouts and she willparticipate in trials for the South Africanunder-18 team in October.Nicholas adds her short-term goal is to be
selected for the national side.She hopes to one day make a career of the
sport, playing overseas.“I love netball, learning new tactics and
ways to play the sport,” she says.“My mother always says that I loved
shooting the ball when I was younger. Net-ball is exciting; it’s fast-paced and physicalas well as tactical.”Nicholas will continue captaining her
school team and the Claremont Arena un-der-25 side once her ankle heals.

Western Province Cricket Club claimedits second consecutive Feedem PitsengKnockout Cup after thrashing PanoramaPrimary School in the final on Saturday.Team manager Shaheed Shaik says
their secret to victory was ensuring histeam competed against quality opposi-tion.“We went through a rigorous training
and warm-up schedule where we played23 warm-up games in preparation for thetournament,” he says.“Half of the teams were under-15 and
under-16 sides, so we were pretty confi-dent playing against teams our own agewhen we went to the final.”The tournament kicked off in January
with over 60 school and club under-13sides competing.The final four then met in the semi-fi-
nals at Sahara Park Newlands on Satur-day to decide who would lift the trophy.The penultimate games took a 15-over
format and pitted Panorama Primaryagainst Grassy Park’s Bluebells CricketClub andWPCC against Kenridge Prima-ry, in two Northern Suburbs vs SouthernSuburbs encounters.Panorama went through to the final af-
ter a narrow, one-run win, while WPCCbeatKenridge by 20 runs to set up anothernorth-south clash in the final – a 20-overencounter.
Panorama won the toss and elected tobat.After reaching ahealthy total of 114/2in 14 overs, WPCC’s bowling attackstruck with devastating effect to bowlPanoramaout for just 123 in the 19th over.Cole Walbrugh starred for Panorama
with a classy 62 off 65 balls. WPCC bowl-ers Cameron Tanner and Jono Bird wereat their destructive best, taking 5/7 and3/2 respectively.WPCC reached the required 124 in just
13 overs for the loss of only two wickets.Rondebosch Boys’ Junior School pupil
Lehan Botha scored 57, his second half-ton on the day, while Jono Bird provedhimself an all-rounder with 47 not out.Shaik says Tanner and Bird’s wicket
hauls came as a surprise as neither is aregular bowler.“The secret is that the boys believed in
themselves,” he says.“They played somany games and knew
their role in the team. They didn’t lookat themselves as individuals; they lookedat themselves as a team competing to winthe final.”The individual awards also went to the
tournament victors, with Botha’s halfcenturies earning him the player of thetournament award and Tanner winningthe bowler of the tournament thanks tohis fifer in the final.Kenridge Primary’s Francois Joubert
took the batsman of the tournamentaward thanks to his unbeaten 75 in thesemi-final.

Greenwood clinches sponsorship dealLIAM MOSES
@LiamCPT
ARetreat football club believes a recent-ly inked sponsorship deal could help itprogress to the professional ranks.
Greenwood Athletic, affiliated to the CapeDistrict Local Football Association (CDL-FA) Super League, has set it sights on a spotin the SAB League and eventually the ABCMotsepe League (Safa Second Division).Club secretary Noel Isaacs believes a
sponsorship is exactly what the club neededto make their dream a reality.“It will help us to bemore professional; we
will look more professional during and be-fore matches, and at training,” he says.
“Since we have secured the sponsorshipeveryone at the club is more motivated andspirits are high. We can all feel somethingdifferent is happening.”Greenwood received a sponsorship from
the Kaaf Trust, a Cape Town NGO which as-sists disadvantaged people.The trust will provide the clubwithmatch
kit, training kit, training equipment, leisurewear, balls and a fee for administration.Thevalue of the sponsorship is not known.Kaaf Trust founder and chairperson Dr
AnwahNagia says the organisation chose tosponsorGreenwood because of the club’s po-tential.“Greenwood Athletic are a disadvantaged
club fromadisadvantaged community, play-
ing excellent soccer. The logical conclusionis for them to accelerate their game on andoff the field,” he says.“The club has fantastic administrators;
they have managed to keep everyone moti-vated and disciplined, and bonded the com-munity in a very difficult area.”Nagia believes aiding the club to progress
to the professional ranks will give the area’syouth a stage and outlet for their football tal-ent.Greenwood previously played in the Sec-
ond Division, but sold the franchise in 2002whenoperational expenses became toohigh.They subsequently moved to the CDLFA
from the South Peninsula LFA and havebeen successful ever since.
“We have been affiliated to the CDLFA forseven years and have won the title threetimes,” Isaacs says.“At the beginning of the year we sat down
and realised that we had become compla-cent. We decided that we wanted to be morerelevant in football – the only way to do thatis to play in the SAB or ABC Motsepeleagues.”Last year the club finished second in the
CDLFA Super League. To qualify for theSAB League promotion play-offs, they willneed to win the tournament this year.Greenwood has been in action twice this
season, thrashing Battswood 7-1 on Satur-day 5 April and beating defending champi-ons Crusaders 3-1 on Saturday 12 April.
