“Today is the day we all say enough isenough. Rape and abuse has no colour
and it doesn’t care whether you’re white orblack, but today it must stop.”These were the words of legendary musi-
cian Yvonne Chaka Chaka, a guest speakerat the 11th lunch of 1000 Women UnitedAgainst Domestic Violence and Abuse, heldat the Cape Town International ConventionCentre (CTICC) on Thursday last week.Women from different areas came togeth-
er to speak about abuse and said it was timethey stood together to put an end to it. Theday was also used to celebrate women whohave stood tall to talk about their circum-stances. A group of women who are part ofthe “I’mBeautiful Project” spokeabout theirdifferent experiences of violence and abuse.The exhibition will be at the CTICC for a
month. Thereafter it will move to the Me-dia24 building before it goes to Pick n Pay’soffices.In South Africa, one in every four women
is caught in an abusive relationship. Everysix days, a woman is murdered by her inti-mate partner.More shocking is that a woman is raped
every 25 seconds of every day.These horrific statistics are nothing new
to people living in South Africa as the esca-lating level of abuse is broadcast 24 hours aday via media channels.The luncheon was a call to all South Afri-
cans to stand together and speak out againstthe abuse of our women.Chaka Chaka said now was the time to
fight forwomen so that theywon’t be blamedby the next generation. “All men who rapeand are abusive, are useless and stupid.They are not worth living. As women it’stime we take a stand. Women should be nur-
tured and looked after by men. We mustworkwith each other to complete one anoth-er, not to compete. Its high timemen learnedto respect women. We are not here to com-pete, but to be equals and work together.”She added that mothers have a huge re-
sponsibility to play if the war against vio-lence and abuse was to be won. “Mothers,let’s teach our children that women are notdoormats. They must be respected. Let’steach our kids that women are importantand they should be valued, not trampled on.It starts at home. If we raise good sons whorespect women then we have won the war.”
Turning towomen she told them to speakagainst rape and abuse.“Womenneed to start talking about these
things, not to make fun of women beingabused. In South Africa we have a hugeproblem. We look the other way whenthings begin to happen. We need to standtogether. Women, talk to one another.Don’t stay in an abusive relationship. If heloves you, he won’t abuse you. Some staybecause they have nowhere to go. Somestay because the man is the provider. No,God gave you your brains and hands – usethem to work for yourself. Men are here to
hold our hands and we walk together sideby side. We all can’t make it on our own –we need each other as man and woman, butwe should never, ever allow ourselves to beabused.”Wendy Ackerman, patron of the event,
said she was happy that a lot of people cameout to say they have had enough.“The message has to go out there. Touch
morewomen andwe start to talk about thesethings and we do something about it. Thepower of your voice has to be heard. At themoment women’s voices are not as loud, butthe message is very clear today – we’ve hadenough and abuse and rape must stop now.”The money raised at the event will help to
provide access to skills, knowledge and re-sources and to provide seed funding to wom-en-led organisations.

After confirming that she was accepted tothe school Millward says she informed herfamily, lecturers and class mates.
“My family wasn’t surprised,” she beams,“and my lecturers and class mates were alsoall very supportive when they heard I wasn’tcoming back this year,” she says.
Millward says after receiving the news,she had to resign from her part-time job.
“I worked three years at a retail store.Fresh out of high school earning moneyseemed fun. Man, the feeling of earning yourown money. The feeling of spending it feltgood as well. The feeling of greed is hiddenso well that you cannot even see it,” she says.
She felt despondent at her place of work
and knew it was time for change.“As time passed my job sucked. A guy once
told me ‘When you leave high school find ajob you hate, you may not hate it at first butfind something where your heart isn’t –something that does not interest you. It willmotivate you so much to get out and do whatyou love.’ This year February I officially re-signed,” Millward recounts. She has sincestarted a crowdfunding campaign that hasreaped only R2 300 so far. If she misses herdeadline they pass her acceptance to thenext candidate.V If you would like to donate to Tavia Millward so shecan become a successful screenwriter, visit http://tavi-atequila.wix.com/howtofundadream

Burglaries up,police warnCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Grassy Park police confirmed therehas been an increase in house burgla-
ries and theft out of motor vehicles in theprecinct.
They have urged residents to be vigi-lant and to take precautions at theirproperties.
Grassy Park police spokesperson War-rant Officer Wynita Kleinsmith says ac-tivity has been on the increase in theirprecinct in recent weeks.
“There has been an increase of houseburglaries and theft out of motor vehi-cles in our precincts in all sectors. Differ-ent instruments are used to gain entryto the premises,” she says.
A recent posting on social media hasalso alerted residents to be vigilant fora crowbar gang in the Ottery, Wetton andPlumstead areas.
The post details that burglaries atpremises are done in “under two min-utes”.
The post reads: “Crow bar gang activi-ty on the increase in the Ottery, Wettonand Plumstead areas. Due to the successrate of this type of home burglary, beingthat they operate in under two minutesin most cases, we have seen a huge in-crease of this crime occurring daily inour neighbourhoods. Gates and doorsare being broken through with crow bars
and sledge hammers leaving the premis-es without a single flat screen by the timethey leave. We advise that where possi-ble you install outdoor beams betweenthe front boundary wall and the house,as well as consider locking down yourflat screens with some kind of lockablebracket to create a delay.”
Kleinsmith says they can’t confirmthat the burglaries can be linked to acrowbar gang. “We can’t confirm if it isrelated to a crow bar gang as cases arestill under investigation. Grassy Parkpolice are appealing to the community toinform us of suspicious vehicle andstrangers roaming the area.”
Police have also urged residents to es-tablish neighbourhood watches andstreet committees, and to keep in contactwith neighbours by forming WhatsAppchat groups.
Police say residents shouldn’t leavetheir homes an “open invitation to bur-glars”.
This includes leaving doors unlockedor secured with “cheap and easy tobreak” locks.
Open windows – especially where itseems too small for an average sizedadult to enter – and accumulated news-papers and letters advertise that no-oneis home.
Bushes around entry gates also makean ideal hiding place for criminals,”Kleinsmith says.

“I call it my cause album,” Auriol Hayssays of her upcoming release.The local singer will be officially launch-
ing her aptly named Dreaming Music at asecret location onSaturday 28Mayandwithit, she hopes to give a voice to those whoneed it.While she’s very aware that the songs on
her new albummay not suit commercial ra-dio, Auriol says: “They come from a verydeep place and they are meant to create adifference.”One of the songs on the album, for exam-
ple is “Come to Me”, which she wrote toraise awareness about “The Arctic 30” agroup of Greenpeace activists and journal-ists who were arrested for protestingagainst oil drilling in the Arctic.She was invited to perform the song on a
Greenpeace boat last year when their Rain-bow Warrior was docked in Cape Town.Another of her songs “Pray for Rain” has
been used by the Dress Jozi Campaign, anorganisation that helps care for the home-less residents of Johannesburg. “That’s awonderful thing.”Then there’s her track “Help me Out”
which has been used by the South AfricanDepression and Anxiety Group (SADAG).“I like that the music is being used by or-
ganisations that want to create some kind
of change.”Auriol says many fans refer to her previ-
ous album, Call it Love as “a break-up al-bum”. “It was sad and beautiful,” she says,adding: “This album, I’d like tothink, is so much happier andbolder.”Themusic switches between
blues, folk, reggae with ele-ments of many other genres,including what Auriol callsher “Bond-inspired song”.“Because I’m a storyteller, Itell the story inwhicheverwayworks best.”She’s also quick to point out
that the fantastic band behindher helped “bring everythingto life”.Auriol is currently working
with bassist Andre Webb, whoalso acts as hermusical direct-or, guitarist Jason De Laney,drummer Jason Beukes and keyboardistYvan Potts and when asked how she metthem, she quips: “I’m blaming the gods onthat one.”When she returned to Cape Town after
working in Johannesburg for three years,Auriol says a random person, “out of thegoodness of his heart”, connected her witha group.While Andre is the only surviving band
member, the situation evolved into one
where she now works with what she calls:“an amazing bunch of musicians”. Whilemany of them play for other artists, Auriolsays she always works with the groupwhen
formulating a song “so thatit’s ourmusic andnotmymu-sic”.“We always have a good
time on stage.”Away from the stage, Auri-
ol is alsomoving into the filmindustry, playing the role ofthe “seer” in the local Sci-Fiseries Spelonk. A song she re-leased with Crimson Housefrontman Riaan Smit “ChildAtone” will also be featuredin the post-apocalyptic piecethat exploreswhatmusic andlanguagewould sound like in2044.Auriol is also in the proc-
ess of writing a book whichshe is releasing in segments on her website.“I am essentially writing tomy great grand-daughter about music and life,” she ex-plains.“Writing is a release,” she says, before
adding: “When I finally get to perform, I’mfree.”V For more information about Auriol Hays, a taste ofher music or to read segments from her book, visitauriolhays.co.za. For more about Spelonk visitwww.spelonkfilm.com.

60 years blowingbrigade’s bugelAt 68 years old, Major Roy Theunissen
will soon celebrate 60 years as part of thelads and girls brigade and is not planningon leaving soon.Theunissen from Lotus River says he is
looking forward to the celebrations laterthis month where he will celebrate with hisfellow lads and girls from Parkwood.“I joined the brigade when I was eight
years old and today I am happy to say thatI can celebrate 60 years glorifying my Mak-er’s name in the brigade,” Theunissen says.He joined the brigade during 1956 and is
one of the oldest members who remained inthe brigade.“Currently I think there is only about two
or three members left that joined aroundthe time I did. Othermembers either left thebrigade or passed on,” he says.Theunissen, who plays the bugel, says
they want more youth to become involvedbecause “youngsters from the Grassy Parkarea are not interested”.“Being apart of the brigadewill definitely
keep our youth off the streets and discour-age them from wrong-doing. We want moreof our youth to become involved so they canalso enjoy the events and activities present-ed or hosted by the brigades,” Theunissenencourages.Festivities for Theunissen’s six decades
service in the brigadewill take place on Sat-urday 28 May, proceeding with a marchfrom 12:15 at the New Apostolic Church inLotus River.V The brigade meets every Tuesday at 19:30 at theSimon of Cyrene Church in Parkwood.Those interested in joining the brigade can call Liuten-ant Wilfred Ceto on 082 739 8114 for more informa-tion.

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL
ChangingnuptialagreementsIt is common practice that couples get mar-ried “out of community of property”. Butas people become more and more informedand educated, many wish to change theirmatrimonial regime after they have beenlegally married.Most people think that yourmatrimonial
regime is caste in “matrimonial stone”, butit can be changed after the marriage.Section 21(1) of theMatrimonial Property
Act provides that maried couples may ap-ply jointly to a court for leave to change thematrimonial property system that appliesto theirmarriage. The courtmay order thatthe existing matrimonial property systemno longer applies to their marriage andmay authorise them to enter into a notarialcontract by which their future/new matri-monial property system is to be regulatedon conditions as the court may deem fit.This Act requires that the court must be
satisfied that there are sound reasons forthe suggested change, sufficient notice ofthe suggested change has been given to allthe creditors of both spouses and that noother person will be prejudiced by the pro-posed change.The application must be brought in the
court in the area of jurisdiction in whichthe couple resides and must include infor-mation concerning any change of address.
Guidelines. Notice must be given to the Registrar
of Deeds in terms of section 97(1) of theDeeds Registries Act and must contain ap-propriate submissions with regard to theregistration procedure of the immovableproperties as contained in the agreement.
. The draft notarial contract must be an-nexed to the application.
. Notice of intention tomake the applica-tion must be published in the GovernmentGazette and two local newspapers at leasttwo weeks before the date on which the ap-plication will be heard at court.
. The date on which the application willbe heardmust be specified in the publishednotice and anyone who wishes to object tothe proposed change, or to make any repre-sentations in that regard, must be told thatthis can be done bywriting to the Registrarof the court and sending a copy to the appli-cants’ attorney, or by appearing in court onthe date of the hearing. The notice must al-so state that the application and proposedcontract can be inspected at the office of theRegistrar and the applicants’ attorney.
. At least two weeks’ prior notice of theapplication must be given by certified postto all creditors and a list of creditors, veri-fied by affidavit,must be included in the ap-plication along with proof that notice hasbeen given to them.
Financial position. Sufficient information regarding the
assets and liabilities of the couple must beset out in the application.
. The application must include detailson any past sequestration and any pendinglegal proceedings in which a creditor isseeking to recover payment of debt due byeither one of the couple.
. If any change in the parties’ financialposition occurs before the application isheard, a supplementary affidavit reflectingsuch change must be filed.
Sound reasons for the changeCare must be taken to motivate fully the
proposed change in the existing matrimo-nial property system. The reasons reasonsmust be convincing, valid and anchored toreality. Applicants must explain why noother person will be prejudiced by the pro-posed change. The order sought and thecontract which it is proposed to registermust contain a provision which preservesthe rights of pre-existing creditorsThe desire to change the matrimonial re-
gime is usually to protect assets from cred-itors. Aswe can see from the above it is pos-sible to change your matrimonial regimebut the reasons and process submitted tothe court can be onerous.
LETTERS
Bring deathpenalty backI have often wondered why it is soimportant to those who deny the deathpenalty how murders are removed fromsociety.Does it really matter if the authorities
hang, shoot or poison the killers?Did the killers of that innocent girl,
who was killed while walking in Tokaiforest, care about her death when theyshoved her face into the dirt whilestrangling her? Did they consider herhuman rights and dignity while theysodomised her? Did they have anyconcern for her agony as she lay dying?Those who refute the return of the
death penalty are in pains to find anexcuse for murderers.But never do they mention the
innocent women and children that aremurdered every day in this country.They never mention the anguish of a
parent whose child was murdered whileplaying in a neighbourhood park.When gangsters rob, rape and fire
guns at unarmed people – while high ondrugs – why must ordinary people careabout the gangsters’ emotional needs?It is this misplaced sympathy that has
resulted in an annual South Africanmurder statistics of 20 000.While we have the most violent
society on earth, those – who live in awell-protected leafy suburb, far removedfrom the violence – want to lecture thevictims of violence.In the words of the wise: We need the
death penalty; it is the only punishmentcriminal’s fear.

Disappointed in politiciansThe Parkwood community have lost itsoldest citizen, Christine Matheze, aged 94years – a stalward, rolemodel, uprightChristian and in good standing with hercommunity.Born during the challenging and
difficult times of apartheid, dumped inthe slums of the Cape Flats and living alife as a disadvantaged citizen, onecannot otherwise but salute this genera-tion of soldiers.What comes to mind is that at the
dawn of 1994, she and so many others inher league must have had high hopes andexpectations like so many of us had.Dreams of a better future for her and herfamily, of a safer and better community.A dream of seeing the sun rise overParkwood with the promise of redress,development and a better standard ofliving. The political speeches, promises oflocal government and of those seeking tobecome councillors, must surely havebrought some ray of sunshine at the endof a very dark tunnel.What a disappointment.I know of an instance when her door
was kicked down by the police bymistaken identity, of how it took days tohave the lock to her bedroom replaced.I know of the gunshots and bullets that
keep our seniors hostage in their flats.I know of the illegal deductions from
their old age pensions and nobody canget it sorted out.I know how long it takes to have their
rented stock maintained when faults arereported. The last time the flats werepainted? Can’t recall.To all the politicians and aspiring
councillors who pop up from nowhere,your promises, your slogans, yourhandshakes and parades are noted.Giving false hope, rasing expectations
and building your sand castles anddrafting fake plans of development iswhat will haunt you and rob you of yourblessings when your season as a seniorcitizen arrives.May the promises of those who will
lead be true.May the reality of the better life for all
be seen and experienced in our lifetime.May the words of those who aspire to
take office in August be genuine.For the sake of our seniors, their
children and the generation to come. Ifnot, you will be judged by the Ruler ofthe Universe. The day when He willjudge will surely come.

RELAY AGAINST RACISM
New venue forracism fun walkThe venue for the inaugural Relay
AgainstRacism family funwalk, pre-sented byCycle of Life andPeople’s Post,has been changed to Vygieskraal Stadi-um in Rylands.Due to logistical reasons, the organis-
ers of the event decided to change thevenue from the Green Point AthleticsStadium to Vygieskraal Stadium.Due to thehigh level of interest shown
in the event and it being the first of itskind, organisers listened to all concernsand ideas presented by participants andinterested parties.“Many of the entrants into the event
come from Mitchell’s Plain, Athlone,Cape Flats and surrounding areas andbased on this, we decided to change thevenue to a more central and easily ac-cessible location for themajority of par-ticipants. Vygieskraal Stadium also al-lows for many more vehicles to beparked on the inside of the stadiumgrounds,” saysCycle of Life directorRo-zario Brown.“Some of the participants also sug-
gested that we consider changing thedress code from black and white to fullcolour sportswear in an effort to high-light the diversity of our rainbow na-
tion, which we totally agree with.”A number of schools have also indi-
cated that they are in the process of put-ting together teams to participate in thewalk. Other schools, corporates, churchgroups, seniors clubs, sporting bodiesand especially walking and runningclubs are encouraged to enter teams in-to this event.The team with the highest number of
participants into the event will win acash prize of R1000 and the head of theteam with the most participants standsto win a complimentary stay at any Pro-tea Hotel in South Africa.Teams must consist of 10 and more.Registration for the event will now al-
so take place on event day, Saturday 28May, at the stadium between 07:00 and09:00.Each participant is encouraged to
complete the 22 rounds around the Vy-gieskraal Stadium.The main prizes for the day includes
a trip for two on the world famous BlueTrain, valued at over R37 000. Each par-ticipant receives a free gift and bever-age on the day.V For enty forms call Sharon on 021 391 0140,enter online on www.relayagainstracism.co.za.
Driver’s attitude is keyIt is an ancient truism that the mostdangerous part of a motor vehicle is thenut behind the steering wheel, althoughobviously the Romans had their ownversion of the saying.Another saying drummed into my skull
in the days of my youthful enthusiasmfor two wheelers is that there are oldbikers and bold bikers, but there are noold-bold bikers. I must agree wholeheart-edly with Keith Blake of Ottery (“Driverresponsibility”, People’s Post, 3 May) that“it is all about that personal attitudewhile driving”: something which I haverepeatedly found to be true in the fortyyears since I first took the wheel of a car.I would like to add a further observa-
tion, that while all of life is dependent on“that personal attitude” it is while incontrol of a vehicle and cloaked in
anonymity that a person’s inherentattitudes are unerringly displayed –whether courtesy or immaturity, altruismor self-centredness.This past week I noted again on the
roads those who are helpful, kind, andconsiderate, and by contrast those whogive the finger to those who observespeed limits and other rules of the road.It is easy to pick out by their selfish
behaviour those who have no thought forothers, feel entitled to take preferenceover other road users, try to intimidateother drivers into pulling over to letthem pass by tailgating at speed; in short,those who have not yet passed thetoddler stage of “if I want it it’s mine”.Yes, personal attitude is key.

Bringing home the Vans titleJordy Maree from Kalk Bay has clinched
the junior titles at theVansSurf ProClas-sic which was completed in epic 1.0 to 1.3
metre waves and ideal conditions at YoYo’sin Lambert’s Bay on Sunday.The first World Surf league (WSL) events
to be run north of Cape Town on the Westcoast of SouthArica, the Vans Surf Pro Clas-sic showcased the country’s best men andjunior surfers as they chased a total prize-purse ofR50 000 and invaluable points on thequalifying series and WSL Africa regionalrankings.The junior final saw a quartet of the coun-
try’s topu.18 rippers tearingup the pumpingA-frame peaks withMaree dominating fromstart to finish to clinch his first JQS eventtitle in style. Accumulating scores of 8.33and 9.33 on his opening rides, Maree had hisopponents in a combination situation fromthe outset. Jake Elkington, also from Kom-metjie, delivered a 7.67 but still needed anear-perfect 9.99 while Adin Masencampfrom Strand and Max Elkington (appearingin a final with his brother for the first time),needed to improve both their counting rideswhen the heat ended.“That’s my first JQS victory and I’m su-
per-stoked. I’ve been training hard and itwas good to get a win under my belt,” saysan elated Maree.“There were so many waves that I just
waited for priority and chose the best ones.
That played in my favour and I got an 8.33and a 9.33 which was enough for the win.”Themen’s semi-finals were nail-biting en-
counters punctuated by incredible manoeu-vreswith both going down to thewire. In thefirst, deVries rackedupanexcellent 8.83 andfollowed thatwith a 7.77 before DaveyBrandgot on the scoreboard. The goofy foot fromKommetjie respondedwith scores of 7.93 and8.33 and, needing 8.28 for a place in the final,he came agonisingly close when he wasawardedan8.10 onhis last ride in the closingseconds.“It went verywell in terms of themy strat-
egy and the riding of the waves, but it’stough to figure out what went wrong there,because I don’t know what really did,” saysa disappointed Brand.“I’ve surfed here at YoYo’s a few times and
I rate it highly. As a contest venue for a QSyou probably couldn’t get anywhere betterand its pretty awesome that Vans broughtthe event up here.”The final of the QS1000 rated men’s event
saw Beyrick De Vries from uMhlanga andMichael February from Kommetjie go headto head in a spectacular high-flying airshow. With a light crosswind blowing per-fectly into the rights, both surfers puntedmanoeuvres above the lip on virtually everyride and each ended up counting a pair ofeight-point scores.It was de Vries’ rides that impressed the
judges more though, and he earned his firstQS event title along with R12 000 in prize-money and 1000 pointswhenhis 8.67 and 8.47left him a slim 0.40 of a point ahead of Febru-ary’s 8.23 and 8.07.
“Thanks to the locals for letting us usetheirwaves and especially to Vans for bring-ing a QS event to a spot where the waves areso good,” said de Vries on the podium beforegoing on to thank his sponsors and familyfor their fantastic support. “Thankyou to ev-eryone who came, you looked left or rightand everybody was smiling. Big ups!”
His points haul moved de Vries into thetop 100 on the QS ranking after just twoevents this year,while February’s 750 pointssaw him jump into the top 30.
“The final was always going to be a toughone, especially against Beyrick and with thewaveswe’ve beenhaving,” said February. “Ihad priority for the last seven minutes andnothing came, but I’m happy anyway. Thiswave is the best, it really brings out the bestin everyone’s surfing and allows you to useyour whole repertoire of manoeuvres.”
The second semi saw February open upwith an 8.67 and an incredible 9.50 beforeMatt McGillivray (Jeffreys Bay) posted hisfirst meaningful score of 7.50. The lankyKommetjie ripper then added an even better9.60 which left McGillivray facing a daunt-ing 19.10 total, the highest of the event.
But SA’s highest raneked QS surfer took
off on a setwave andposted a perfect 10 pointride, his second of the event, to get back intocontention. Still requiring 9.10, McGillivraywaited patiently but did not get the opportu-nity to complete what would have a famouscomeback and had to settle for third placeoverall and a haul of 560 points and R3000.“I knew Mikey (February) was going to
throw down some big scores and he got twonines on the lefts. So I waited a long time fora set andmanaged a 10 to break the combina-tion, but nothing more came in the last cou-ple of minutes, said McGillivray.“I’m still happy withmy performance and
the way I surfed. And I’ve never had two 10sin an event, so I’m stoked.”The Vans Surf Pro Classic has set the bar
for performance surfing in SouthAfrica andYoYo’shas establishedan instant reputationas one of the best contest sites in the country,being likened to the famous Lower Trestlesin California by many of the competitorsVans Surf Pro Classic final results:1. Beyrick de Vries (uMhlanga) 1 000

The road to fame has started in all ear-nest for the two high school sides ofPortland and Tafelsig.
After two assignments, Portland and Ta-felsig are unbeaten and share the top of thelog standings with six points apiece in theMRP Foundation High Schools SoccerLeague – Mitchell’s Plain.Tafelsig High, the 2014 former league
champions and Mondale High, the leagueholders of the 2012 and 2013 championships,came head-to-head in a tense game that pro-duced some thrilling end-to end entertain-ing football.Andrew Geldenhuys’ Tafelsig schoolboy
side by virtue of Mickyle Smith’s first halfstrike was enough to sink Mondale High 1-0at a very noisyMRP sports complex inWest-ridge on Saturday.Mondale’s potent firing engine in the form
of Riyaaz Nell, Ethan Stellenboom and Jem-aaeel Ockers constantly raided the opposi-tion’s goal area – only to be stopped in theirtracks by Tafelsig High’s deadly defensivemarkings in which particularly central de-fender YahiyaWilson and goalie Clayton duPlessis played a pivotal role.
Portland conquer over luckless WestridgePortland High was over the last four sea-
sons among the top-eight finishers and ifthey apply themselves and are serious abouttheir intentions they may finally enter thewinner’s enclosure.Meanwhile the victorious side beat a luck-
less Westridge High side 3-1 after havinghelda slender 1-0 advantage leadat thebreakthrough a well taken goal by Leo McCleod.They added two more goals in the second
stanza through Tashreeq Morris and Mas-noon Finch while Bevan Johannes repliedfor Westridge.
Spine Road High on the victory marchFinally SpineRoadHigh have hit the right
notes to record a resounding 1-0 victory andsend the ego of Glendale High reeling.However, spare a thought for Anbeuto
Samuels (goalkeeper), Keegan Petersen andKeegan Booysen who were outstanding inthe Glendale side but could not reap thefruits of success.In the end it was primarily the decisive

The 2016Western Cape Karting Champion-ship explodes back into action at Killarneyafter a two and a half month break on Sat-urday, with leading local racers keen to re-assert their authority, as much as their ri-valswill be out to stop thosewinningways.Nowhere will the action be fiercer than
in the high school Rotax Junior Max 125s,where a full grid and perhaps a little unfin-
ished business could make the action allthat much sweeter.WP champion Jason Coetzee (RKT Ko-
smic)will be keen to extendhisCape cham-pionship advantage over national seriesleader Sebastian Boyd (Boyd Freight Ko-smic) and the man Coetzee controversiallytangledwith at theKillarneynational,Dar-io Busi (Automan Birel).
Never ignore Daniel Duminy (Kosmic)who is out to score his first Cape regionalwin, Andrew Rackstraw (Tony), AidanStrydom (TurboTech CRG) and Kosmictrio JP Hamman, SamLockhoff and SimonSimpson-Heath (SAKRA Kosmic) amongthat lot, and rest assured that this classwilldeliver extreme action in each of its threeheats.
The smallest karters are the under eightcadet class kids, the breeding ground of fu-ture race champions, and there you can ex-pect the likes of Joaquin de Oliveira, RezaLevy (Jive), Paul Malcolm, Reese Koorzen,Joshua Smit and Ethan Stier to be amongthe leading bunch.V Adult entry is R60 per adult. R20 for under-16sand under-12s are free.
