Airwaves gets a dose of youthIN AN ATTEMPT to draw more youths tothe Voice of the Cape, the radio stationhas kicked off a new youth discussionprogramme.
Leading the charge as host of the “YouthHour”, which started at 18:00 on the firstWednesday of the month, is 16-year-old Tas-neem Arend from Pinelands.
Arend will bring a group of teenagers instudio on a bi-monthly basis to discuss vari-ous contemporary youth issues, startingwith how the youth feel about Muslim radioand what needs to be done to make it moreattractive for them.
Ambitious and soft-spoken, Arend saysshe is excited about the new challenge andthe opportunity to engage with her peers onimportant issues. The first panel includedAsheeqah Kamish, a grade 12 student atGood Hope Girls’ Seminary High School, Ya-seen Kamish, a Grade 8 pupil at MilnertonHigh School, and Nadia Arend, in Grade 7 atPinelands North Primary School. Asked howshe felt, waiting to go live on air for the firsttime, Arend says: “We all were nervous, ex-cept Nadia, who always seems to be fizzingwith confidence. For me, it was probably themost nerve-racking experience of my teen-age life.”
The teenager, who attends Cannons CreekIndependent High School, was part of a panelfrom Pinelands who participated in a discus-sion in June on the challenges facing youths,and raised her voice again during Ramadan,looking at the issues of Muslim identity andIslamaphobia.
“Being part of the panel versus hosting theshow is, of course, hugely different,” shesays. “As anchor, I had my hands full manag-ing my panel’s responses – like Yaseen’s abil-ity to answerall thequestions ina fewwords,and my dear sister’s ability to check me onair because I asked her the same questiontwice!
“You have to think on your feet all thetime, like when we get ready to go for an ad,and I announce the break, the technician in-
dicates that we are not ready yet and I findmyself turning around mid-sentence to keepthe show going – ‘And it’s time for us to takea break. Or not.’ That sentence has to be myhighlight of the debut show.”
Programme manager Munadia Karaansays she has high hopes for the new show.“We never have enough youth shows, and itis important for us to get young people talk-ing about their own issues to their peers,rather than having adults talking down atthem. With Tasneem’s energy, we’re prettysure this will be a success.”
Says Arend: “If you’re a teenager, I hopeyou will be joining my panel and me for whatwe hope will be enlightening discussions,from the youth, for other youth.
“We welcome constructive criticism andsuggestions, so by all means let us hear fromyou; if you have a suggestion for a funkyname for our show, please feel free to emailit to me at [email protected].”
The next live show will take place tomor-row (Wednesday) at 18:00. The issue of peerpressure will be discussed by a panel of teen-agersmadeupof bothMuslimsandnon-Mus-lims.

New stars onhead skywardMICHELLE DU PREEZ, a 45-year-oldwoman from Ottery, gave young singersnew hope when she started her “Reality!Star” talent search.

Du Preez says stu-dents have been given voice training les-sons since May, “and learners from Lo-tus River and Steenberg PrimarySchools auditioned to be one of seven fi-nalists”. The finalists were then taughtseven original love songs, and will per-form these with a live band at the finalson Saturday at Steenberg PrimarySchool at 15:00. The winner will get torecord their song in studio with DuPreez’s band, Reality!
Asked what motivated her to start theproject, Du Preez says, “I have the re-sources, so why not pass them on?”
She hopes to do the talent search againnext year, but is looking for a sponsor.For more information, or to book ticketsfor the final, contact Michelle on072 086 2235.

Don’t try to con policeTHE Grassy Park police are warn-ing people not to make false claims– or face a potential prison sentenceof two years.
This comes after a Parkwood manopened a case at the station, claiminghis television set had been stolen fromhis home.
After further investigation andquestioning, the man apparently ad-mitted he had lied about the theft sohe could receive an insurance pay out.
It is believed the TV was damagedduring an argument between the manand his wife. A 36-year-old suspect wasarrested in the wake of the claim onFriday, on charges of defeating theends of justice. He appeared in theWynberg Magistrate’s Court yester-day (Monday).
• In other events, two Parkwoodmen were arrested and charged withpossession of stolen property on Fri-
day after officers seized tyres that hadbeen removed from a vehicle hijackedin Cape Town earlier in the week.
The men, 25 and 31 years old, weretransferred to the Cape Town precincton Sunday, where officers will investi-gate whether they were involved inthe hijacking.
• The police, following up on a tip-off, caught a 19-year-old in Ottery andconfiscated 131 packets of tik onWednesday last week.
The teenager was charged with deal-ing in drugs.
• The Grassy Park police are warn-ing people that a large number of rob-beries have been reported to have tak-en place outside the Klip Road ceme-tery.
“We have received some concernsover the number of robberies outsidethe cemetery, and would just like thepublic to be aware of this,” says War-rant Officer Wynita Kleinsmith.
Marinas to hoist the Blue FlagTHE City of Cape Town launched its BlueFlag Marina Programme on Friday duringa special ceremony at the Royal Cape YachtClub – one of three pilot Blue Flag marinasin the metropolis.
The Blue Flag is awarded annually to over3 650 beaches and marinas in 44 countries allover the world – and only to those that meetthe Foundation for Environmental Educa-tion’s strict quality and environmentalstandards.
There are, as it stands, no Blue Flag mari-nas in South Africa, so Cape Town is the firstcity to take up the challenge of upping theante.
After approaching 15 yacht clubs and ma-rinas in Cape Town, three agreed to join theprogramme – False Bay Yacht Club, GrangerBay Water Club and Royal Cape Yacht Club;with the support of the City, they applied forpilot status in 2011.
With continued support from the City,
they will work towards complying with all24BlueFlag criteria, andapply for full statusby 15 June next year. The outcome will beknown by the end of October 2012. Prior tothis programme, the City has seen successin the Blue Flag Beach Programme since itsinception in South Africa in 2001.

Get ready for the ultimate partyANDRE BAKKES
IF coolness was measured in mega-fonzies, then it would be fair to say thatRylands exuded mega-mega-fonzies onSaturday afternoon.
When Traz, Supefly, Kool, Flash, Paul Rin-go and Abie Willard all got together on thesteps of Club Westend, the coolness literallywarped space and time – and swept People’sPost into another era.
Traz – who is known by some as Adiel Si-mons – remembers setting minds alight withhis pure house freestyling. “We used to hitch-hike from Bontheuwel to get to a club in CapeTown,” laughs Traz.
The others nod in unison.“Then we found out that DJ Superfly, the
godfather of the DJs, is actually the brotherof someone we know. That’s how we met. Weused to turn the house upside down and in-side out!”
Superfly gives his copyrighted cool lookand says, “We did it all the time.”
The two regularly battled it out on thedance floor in front of hundreds of cheeringonlookers.
Traz continues, “We had some hardcorebattles! Superfly would enter the battle withhis unique style of moonwalking. We all haddifferent styles, but the same God-given tal-ent. The money was good, but we did it forthe love of dancing.”
The two confrontational artists would then“free the beat from the bottom of their souls”and wow the crowd with their impromptumoves. Whoever gets the loudest frenzy wins.
DJ Superfly, who was apparently the firstto introduce pure house music to South Afri-ca, states deviously, “I had a distinct advan-tage, because I was the DJ! If the girls liked
me then it was half the battlewon.”
Flash takes the conversa-tion into another directionwhen he says, “Even thegangsters respected us forour talents. We were the ‘coolguys’.”
Traz agrees, but emphati-cally adds that they’ve al-ways been “the disciples ofpeace and unity – irrespec-tive of colour or culture”.
“Dancing is about becom-ing free. It brings people to-gether. It also helps gettingsome out of bad cycles, suchas drug addiction,” saysTraz.
Superfly muses, “You cancome from the darkest cor-ner and reach the highestheight.”
Tragically, however, Trazhad to endure the lowest lowwhen he was on his way to1989 Freestyle Dance Cham-pionship at Club Fame inElsiesrivier; a horrible caraccident ended his career.
The news that Traz would be paralysed forlife devastated the dance community, but theman who inspired a whole generation ofdancers would not be beaten.
Nine months later, he started walkingagain.
“I’ve learnt to live with my physical andmental pain,” says Traz. “My family andfriends motivated me and made me stronger– made me stand up!”
Saturday’s wasn’t just a standard “so whathave you been getting up to” meeting; it was
also a springboard to talk about a historicevent on the party calendar.
It is called “The Reunion – a Tribute to thePioneers” and is marketed as “Cape Town’sfreestyle dance groups’ first ever revived 80sand 90s house reunion party”.
“This reunion has been a long time com-ing,” says Bradley “Kool” Birds.
Superfly exclaims, “It’s going to be explo-sive!”
“It will be of huge interest to any dancer,any music lover, anyone,” says Birds.
The host of legends will be partying in the
VIP area, for which there are a few tickets onsale (at R100 each), while hundreds of party-goers must pay R50 to experience a “musicalamalgamation of yesterday and today”.
Up-and-comers “WeDFy” will also try toshow the “Old Boys” where it’s at thesedays.
The cool-ometer readings should shootthrough the roof at exactly 20:00 at Club West-end in Rylands.
Those who want to avoid the rush can con-tact Bradley Bird on 082 839 3695 for VIP tick-ets.

Watch out for con artistsTAURIQ HASSEN
WITH festive season fast approach-ing, Grassy Park Police are warningpeople to watch out for dodgy buildersor plumbers.
This comes after a Fairways residentwas conned out of nearly R3000, when shetrusted a plumber advertising locally tocomplete work on her bathroom.
Earlier this year, Mary Dyers, 66,learned of a plumbing company after fly-ers were dropped off at her home, and shecalled to enquire about their services.
A man visited the elderly couple’shome. “He said he would be able to com-plete the bathroom in no time, and woulddo a perfect job. I would have to go withhim to pick out some stuff for the bath-room.”
Dyers accompanied the plumber to ahardware store, where she pointed outtaps and basins, obtaining a quote ofaround R5 900.
A few days after their visit to the hard-ware store, the plumber arrived at thecouple’s home to tell them the items she’dchosen were ready to be collected, andthat he needed money to pay for them.
When the items arrived, however, theman said he’d forgotten the receipt, butgave Dyers the quote they’d been givenby the hardware store. The situationworsened when Dyers realised, as the
items were being unpacked, that they“were not the items chosen at the store”.
Forging on, Dyers asked the plumberto complete the work he’d been commis-sioned to do – but she’s still waiting.
“I tried to contact him, but it seemshe’schanged his number,” says Dyers, whoopened a case of fraud against the manat Grassy Park Police Station last week.
Warrant Officer Wynita Kleinsmit,spokesperson for the Grassy Park PoliceStation, requested that residents checkthe builders credentials before enquiringtheir services.
“You have to know what the person iscapable of doing and if they are able tocomplete the work before you trust themwith the job,” says Kleinsmit.
She also hoped that residents would bemore “street wise or alerted” to thesesorts of incidents, as she confirmed thereare many people wanting to take advan-tage of others this time of the year.
“You will have many people wantinglittle jobs to be done because of the festiveperiod, so residents should really be onthe lookout and aware of these prob-lems,” says Kleinsmit.
Kleinsmit confirmed that a case offraud had been opened with police in thecase of Dyers.
“Grassy Park Police are warning allresidents about fraudulent people mov-ing around the area, especially over thefestive period,” Kleinsmit confirmed.

Neighbourhood watch woesLILLIAN AMOS
A GRASSY PARK community is atloggerheads over a neighbour-hood watch locals claim has “tak-
en over” the area and harasses residents– but the watch members, backed up bythe police, claim they’re the victims of asmear campaign launched by bitter peo-ple afraid of the law.
And members of the Central Park Neigh-bourhood Watch are fuming after several ac-cusatorySMSeswere sent to aCapeTown tab-loid.
Some of the text messages accuse the groupof being violent towards residents; others saywatch members are disrespectful. There areeven one or two accusing the members of hav-ing sex with each other while on their routinepatrols in Lotus River.
Grassy Park Police Station’s commander,Colonel Leroy Nolan, tells People’s Post that,since the launch of the neighbourhood watchon Heritage Day in 2010, there has been a no-ticeable drop in crime in the area.
By way of example, Nolan adds that thewatch played a vital role in the closure of twoillegal shebeens and a drug den.
And Julie Erasmus, secretary of the watch,says, “The people who are making these com-plaints are the ones whose children are busywith illegal activities.
“When we patrol and we see someone doingwrong, we call the police and they come to in-vestigate. Their children are arrested, andthat is what makes them so angry.”
Erasmus mentions an incident a few daysbefore, during a routine police patrol in thearea. The officers stopped two “suspicious-looking people” and placed them under ar-rest, Erasmus says.
“They [residents] blamed us and said wewere the ones who called the police. It is justa sign that they hate us because we upholdthe law, and theywant to get awaywith illegalthings.”
Erasmus says watch members are con-stantly harassed by some residents, who, al-legedly, swear at them and sometimes as-sault them.
Mirinda Jackson, a member of the neigh-bourhood watch, says she was once attackedwhile on patrol.
“There was a group of people, one of whomwas a parent of one of the children who wasarrested, calling us names and swearing atus. We walked away, but they approachedus again and just started fighting.
“Obviously I didn’t stand still and let thembeat me up – I had to fight back.”
People’s Post asked a few Lotus River resi-dents whether they’ve been feeling safersince the neighbourhood watch was estab-lished. One, who spoke on condition of ano-nymity, claims watch members harassinginnocent locals.
“I have been living here for 36 years, andwe got along very well without them. A carcan’t even pull up in front of my house thenall of them are here. They are just bis [med-dlesome]. They call the police for nothing,then the poor people must go sit in jail andpay bail for nothing.
“You can’t even walk freely past midnight– then they are on your case. They can’t tellme when to be in my house; that’s wrong.”
Fellow resident Zolene Booise is also criti-cal of the watch.
“The last time, I had my daughter’s birth-day party at our house,” she says. “Every-thing went well, and I told my neighbourswe would probably be playing music late.”
The watch, however, called the police into stop the party, she says. “It’s wrong; theycan’t come here and take over.”
Another local, on the other hand, says sheis perfectly happy with the neighbourhoodwatch.
“I feel safe with them around, knowingthere are people at night keeping the crimi-nals at bay. I know my house is protectedwhen they are around.”
Phillip Bam, chairperson of the Grassy
Park Community Policing Forum, says hethinks members of the community whosecriminal activitieshavebeennegatively affect-ed by the presence of the neighbourhood watchare behind efforts to discredit the group.
“Since this group has registered with the De-partment of Community Safety they have beendoing a wonderful job.
“It is the people who sell drugs and haveillegal shebeens that are instigating theother community members to stand againstthem.”
Nolan adds that he has not received any com-
plaints of violence at the hands of the neigh-bourhood watch’s members.
“This neighbourhood watch has helped usa lot.
“They are on the ground, so they know allthe things we don’t know about. For instance,the illegal shebeens – they were the ones whoalerted us, and that is how we closed downthe places.
“It is people who want to sell drugs and al-cohol, and who want to do illegal things andget away with it, who are saying these badthings,” Nolan says.

Cape Town indire straitsANDRE BAKKES
“I CAN’T give you any medication,”warns the doctor.
The words take a while to sink in.“Come back in a week and let’s see if we
can reassess.”His voice is overpoweredbyagrowing feel-
ing of doom.Drew knows there is only one answer that
will suffice. She hesitates, but try as shemight, she is unable to hide from the devas-tating consequences.
“I’ll be dead by then...”Welcome to post-apocalyptic Cape Town.A nuclear meltdown has dragged the
screaming city through chaos and now it isteetering on absolute anarchy.
People are dying.An upside down world of decay is, howev-
er, the ideal breeding ground for desperatesurvival instincts.
This, at least, is the harsh reality in the 48-minute short film “There are No Heroes”,which will be one of many to hit Nouveaucinemas in Claremont’s Cavendish Squareon 18 and 19 November during the annualSouth African School of Motion Picture Me-dium and Live Performance (Afda) ShortFilm Festival.
The thrilling 45 minutes of cyberpunk sci-ence fiction represents R10 well spent – andconsidering that the myriad short films onshow each cost about R60 000 to make, it’s ano-holds-barred approach to serious enter-tainment.
Bergvliet post-grad student Kyle Steven-son (22) directed, co-produced and co-wrote“There are No Heroes”. He took time out ofhis busy schedule of final production andpost-production to talk to People’s Post aboutthe movie.
According toStevenson, about 40 filmswillbe screened from 10:00 to 22:00 over the two-
day festival, buthis attention is obviouslyde-voted to his final post-grad project.
“The viewer is first introduced to Darcorp,a pharmaceutical company that distributesexpensive radiation medication,” elaboratesStevenson.
“Even though the nuclear ‘accident’ hap-pened in Cape Town, the viewer is quicklymade aware that the whole of South Africais in turmoil.”
As he continues with phrases like “then itcuts to...”, “and then the audience...”, and“spectacular visual effects...”, this reportergains a clear indication of how passionate heis about the film.
“It takes a different slant on South Africa,and is definitely made for the new genera-tion,” he says.
The film’s cast, as well as the cinematogra-phers, directors and visual effects artists, allstudy at Afda, so it is a prominent piece onthe film school’s podium.
And the money required for the filmmak-ers to pour their vision into film has to beraised, which Stevenson describes as one ofthe main challenges.
“There is never enough budget or time, butthankfully the crew is a passionate bunch,”he adds.
The movie is based on Charles Human’s“Land of the Blind”, which appeared in thelocal sci-fi hit book “Moxieland” by LaurenBeukes.
People’s Post asks Stevenson the milliondollar question, “Is Darcorp behind the nu-clear melt-down?”
Not only does Stevenson refrain from giv-ing this journalist a million dollars, but healso refuses to answer the question.
“We’ll see...” he muses.“There are No Heroes” will be screened at
19:30 on 19 November.Read more about the film on its Facebook
fan page at www.facebook.com/thereareno-heroes.

Giving a fair chance toyouths with disabilitiesTAURIQ HASSEN
FINDING WORK whenyou’re struggling with thechallenges of a disabilitycan be incredibly difficult– which is why the Disabil-ity Workshop Develop-ment Enterprise (DWDE)has just launched a specialcareer fair targeting theissue.
The DWDE Career Fair,aimed linking people withdisabilities with potentialemployers, was warmed upat a pre-launch event atBlack River Park in Observ-atory last week. The fairproper kicks off at the RiverClub in Observatory today(Tuesday), and it will contin-ue until tomorrow. Exhibi-tors will include private andpublic sector employers, re-cruitment agencies, traininginstitutions, bursary provid-ers, youth organisations andrepresentatives from theCity of Cape Town.
A number of hearteningsuccess stories were sharedamid the pre-launch event,including that of WandileBasse. Now the communica-tions manager at the DWDE,Basse was left visually im-paired after a hijacking at-tempt went horribly wrong –he was shot, and “woke up

I could not al-low that toslow me down,and it’s allthanks to theDWDE,” saysBassa.
The non-profit organi-sation hasbeen workingtoward thegoal of sourc-ing rewardingand sustaina-ble work forpeople withdisabilities since its estab-lishment in April 2007, join-ing forces with both the gov-ernment and the private sec-tor to further itsmission.Karina Fischer, fa-cilitator at the DWDE,couldn’t contain her excite-ment at the fair’s pre-launchsession.
“This is an opportunity toshow youths with disabili-ties that there is more to life,and their disability shouldnot slow them down,” shesays.
“Sometimes, when em-ployers receive an applica-tion, theynotice that the can-didate has a disability andput that application at thebottom of the pile,” Fischer
goes on. “This is the percep-tion that needs to bechanged, because ratherthan recognising the disabil-ity, the candidate’s skillsshould be taken into consid-eration.”
Nwabisa Ncinita, whoseright eye is blind, now worksfor Old Mutual after passingthrough the DWDE sys-tem.She says she was“shocked” when she re-ceived the first job-offer callfrom Old Mutual.
“I thought I must grab thisopportunity with bothhands, and now everybody isso friendly and looks past mydisability. They’ve evenpromised that they will besponsoring me with a pros-
thetic eye.”The Career Fair will seek
to generate even moreawareness among employ-ers about the viability of giv-ing work to youths with disa-bilities, and will form an en-try point for many who seekemployment and careerguidance.
Everybody is wel-come.The fair starts runsthis morning from 11:00 to16:00, and tomorrow from08:00 until 16:15. For furtherinformation, contact Can-dice Jansen at [email protected],or Wandile Basse on(021) 674-6139.

Get ready for theBlikkies Klopse
TAURIQ HASSEN
IMAGINE starting a min-strel troupe with nothingmore than a few cans andplastic bags – and thenper-forming in a formal min-strel competition on stage.
This sums up the thirdannual Blikkies Coon Car-nival; set for 2012, it’saimed at youths who wantto create their very ownminstrel teams, deckedout with costumes and in-struments made using100% recyclable materi-als. Cheslyn Steenberg, co-ordinator of the event,says the organising com-mittee has worked over-time to push the carnivalinto a league of its own.
“This carnival stemsfrom the original KaapseKlopse Carnival, but wehave made our ownunique carnival in its ownglory,” says Steenberg.
From the Grand MarchPass to the popular Afri-kaanse Moppie, the daywill be filled with localflair and vibrancy.
And now, for the firsttime, teams from outsideKensington and Facretonare being called upon toenter the prestigiousevent. “I am simply gladthat we are rolling thisevent out to other commu-nities to celebrate the rich
diversity of this culturethat we, as a city, have tooffer,” says Steenberg.
Facreton’s Albacore En-tertainers, last year’s win-ners, are set to defendtheir crown at the upcom-ing event, with the DailyVoice Hit Parades – run-ners-up – also likely to putin some fierce competi-tion. The Blikkies CoonCarnival 2012 takes placeat the Windermere HighSchool on Saturday 31March next year, andteams are encouraged tostart getting ready for itnow. A panel of independ-ent judges will considereach item presented on theday, and trophies will behanded to the top troupesin each category. “I wouldadvise everyone to comeand participate in thisspectacular carnival,”Steenberg says.A R100 en-try fee will be charged foreach team entering. “Themost important thing wehave to note is that this isa non-profit event,” Steen-berg says. “If any money isreceived, it goes back intothe carnival – so teamsmust know that whoeverwins this carnival will notreceive any financial sti-pend.” If you’d like to par-ticipate, or simply find outmore, call Steenberg on083 543 1344.

Cape Town teams go back to drawing boardsLYNN PRINS
A TOUGH weekend awaitsSantos and Ajax after disap-
pointing results on Friday andSaturday.
Santos, who lost to PlatinumStars 4-1 due to a lack of concentra-tion in defence, will now look to re-deem themselves come Friday.
Boebie Solomons, coach of San-tos, is adamant that his team is setfor the clash with Maritzburg Unit-ed.
“I know Maritzburg United verywell, as I have been a former coachat the club, and when you’re play-ing Telkom Knockout you onlyhave one chance.
“Preparations are different whenyou’re playing league, as there aremany games to be played. It is do ordie on Friday. There is no turningback – if you lose you’re out.’
Maritzburg United is also low onconfidence after they lost to Super-Sport United 7-0 on Friday.
Still, Ian Palmer, Maritzburg’scoach, was voted coach of the
month for the August-Septemberperiod, and his charges will also beout to prove a point when they meetthe Lansdowne-based Santos.
Over at Ikamva, the Urban Warri-ors put in a rusty show on Fridayafter their two-week break.
An early goal by Jomo Cosmosmade it difficult for Ajax to comeout on top of their game – not helpedby the wet conditions and slipperypitch – but Terror Fanteni scored inthe 56th minute and prevented Cos-mos from registering their first winfor the season.
The match at full time was 1-1.Ajax are known for their stern
performances at cup competitions,and Sunday’s Telkom Knockoutmatch should be interesting, con-sidering the squad’s history.
Santos kicks off with MaritzburgUnited for the first round at Ath-lone Stadium at 20:00 on Friday,while on Sunday, Ajax faces FreeState Stars at 15:00 at the same ven-ue.

World Cup upsets, historic moments – and rulesLYNN PRINS
HISTORY repeated itself thisweekend – and now we will seeFrance in the final with New Zea-land.
Perhaps the French will give theKiwis the upset of 24 years ago.
The weekend saw a tough matchwhen the Welsh gave their all withjust 14 men in a bid to defeat theFrench, after their captain SamWarburton was sent off for a dan-gerous tip tackle. The end resultwas 9-8 in France’s favour.
Over at the Wallabies camp,things were going horribly wrong,and some may say it’s a hidingwell deserved after last week’scontroversial refereeing. Evident-ly New Zealand were the betterteam, playing well under pressure– something Wallabies fly halfQuade Cooper struggled to do.
It seemed as if it was “Cooper
versus New Zealand”, as hardtackles were pounced on him withtwo men charging at him at a time,and the crowd booed whenever hekicked the ball. The end result tothat game was 20-6, and Australiacould just not get past the tight de-fence of their opponents.
Another historic moment willgo to Craig Joubert, who will bethe referee at the final match onSunday after a job well done thisSaturday past. It will be his firsttime in charge of World a Cup fi-nal.
On Friday, playoffs for third andfourth will take place betweenAustralia and Wales at 09:30 atAuckland, and on Sunday the finaltakes place at the same venue at10:00.
Last week People’s Post ex-plained what happens after themark, and in-goals. This week,People’s Post will take a look at
kick-offs and restart kicks.Kick-offsFor the kick-off from the centre
of the halfway line, you have anumber of options.
• A long kick-off is a boot deepinto the opposition half, leading togood gain in ground but littlechance of getting possession whenthe ball lands. Opposition can kickthe ball back or run it back beforeyou get there, so your initial gain
in ground may be reduced. Youmay even find the ball back deepin your own half.
• A short kick-off punts the ballthe minimum permitted distance– there’s not much gain in ground,and you risk the ball not going therequired 10m, but you have a realopportunity to regain control ofthe ball before the opposition cancatch it
• A kick to the opposition’s 22marea gives you reasonable gain inground, not much chance of re-gaining possession, but in a goodposition to start applying pressureby keeping the opposition pinnedin their own 22m area
• A kick to the side, where theforwards are massed, is the safestoption, but exactly what is expect-ed by the opposition.
• A kick to the less defended sideis done in the hopes of catching theopposition off guard and allow fast
teammates to scoop up the ball andtake advantage of a defensivelapse. It’s risky and used fairlyrarely – maybe when a quick scoreis needed
Restart kicksYourestart after each scorewith
a drop kick from the centre of theground. The ball must travel atleast 10m.
In some cases the game is re-started with a drop kick on the22m line. It’s called a “drop out”,and can be taken anywhere alongthe 22m line or behind it. The dropkick simply has to cross the linebefore it can be caught or pickedup.
When a kick-off or restart takesplace, other players must be be-hind the kicker when the kick ismade.
Next week People’s Post willsum up all the rules the paper ranthrough in previous editions.

Safa CT in top formSafa CT in top formLYNN PRINS
AN exciting and successful Coca-Cola series and Inter-LFA have
left the Safa Cape Town with highhopes for the future.
Abdullah Alexander, the Safa’s head ofcompetitions, says the “bumper season”saw no “major incidents” during the dur-ing the Coca-Cola Cup, and he feels the In-ter-LFA has improved tremendously.
“The Inter-LFA this year was morestructured and organised, and a goodcrowd was attracted despite the weatherconditions,” says Alexander.
Last year, the Safa Cape Town hostedthe under-20 Four Nations, giving soccerfanatics a taste of good football played byyoung and upcoming stars – and approvalhas been given to host the under-20 EightNations next May.
Last year’s tourney saw teams such asBrazil, Nigeria, and Ghana vying for su-premacy, with Ghana taking the trophy.
Although the Safa Cape Town is heavilydependent on registration fees to for of-
fice, staff and maintenance costs, it is stillin a healthy financial state, Alexandersays. “We do receive a grant from Safa Na-tional, but not much, and in terms of soc-cer we are very much dependent on oursponsors to keep us going.”
Asked about the media’s role in the Sa-fa’s existence, Alexander says: “On Safalevels we believe that, without radio, wecannot survive. We depend a lot on mediato give outside publicity, whether we likethem or not – we’re very dependent onthem, and grateful for their efforts.”
Women’s soccer, meanwhile, is alsolooking good. “We had a successful SasolNational Championships last year, withSuper Falcons from Gauteng crownedchamps,” says Lutfeyah Abrahams,chairperson of Women’s Football with theSafa Cape Town. “Last year’s Absa win-ners were Portia from Cape Town, whowere promoted to Sasol league,” she adds.
Abrahams says the Safa Cape Town andSafa Winelands are two of the fortunateregions to have borne a developmentleague to Sasol League level. Paarl Unitedwere also promoted.
