Breaking news as it happens
NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain
It can take up to a decade to have a councilhouse transferred to the name of a newtenant.This means the trauma of losing a loved
one to death is amplified for the rest of a le-gal tenant’s family, who fear eviction fromtheir homes.And while the transfer is tied up in red
tape, relatives may be threatened with evic-tion.Avril Adams has been waiting six years
for the transfer of her home.“Mymother died years ago andwe’re still
waiting for the council house to be trans-ferred to my stepfather’s name. She livedthere for over 30 years. I’ve lived in thishouse all my life,” she says.The holdup has created several inconven-
iences for Adams. She is unable to open abank account, as she does not have a validproof of residence.When the tenant of a council flat dies,
their spouse or children are eligible to takeover the lease, says Mayoral Committeemember for Human Settlements TandekaGqada.“If more than one child is eligible to be
considered for the tenancy, then the finaldecision will rest with the relevant commit-tee of the City of Cape Town,” she says.Tenants must be South African citizens,
must be a registeredapplicant for accommo-dation, must not own property and musthave a joint income of less than R10 000.If the tenant of the house does not fall into
this category, the unlawful occupation poli-cy will apply. “The policy on unlawful occu-pation is clear in that occupants in occupa-tion prior to 1March 2006 can be consideredfor regularisation if they comply in termsof set criteria,” she says.Nowhazana Tokota fought for three years
to have a council house transferred into hername, and was often threatened with evic-tion.“I lived with an elderly woman who I
cared for. She informed the rent office thatI live with her and should get the housewhen she dies,” Tokota explains.“I was told: ‘If it’s not in your name, we
have to kick you out’.”Housing activist Jimmy Xalipi says a
number of families find themselves strug-gling to change the name on their lease.
“There are many other families in thesame situation,where the residents are pay-ing the rent but the house is not in the rightname,” he says.“They haven’t beenmade the rightful ten-
ants. The longer these things take, themorelikely families are to lose documentationproving they are entitled to live there,” hesays.Another council house resident, who did
not want to be identified, says her familyhas moved into the council house eventhough she is paying rent. “We live in a
wendyhouse outsidewhilemymother’s sib-lings live in thehouse.Because the leasehasnot been put into my name, I’m not able toask them to move,” she laments.Gqada could not give a time-frame for
transfers of the contract.“The transfer of tenancy and not owner-
ship varies depending on the family situa-tion and the procedure that has to be fol-lowed in terms of the policy. There havebeen some unavoidable delays; in some cas-es this was because nominees failed to pro-duce the required documents,” she says.

PRINCESS VLEI: NEW VISION INCLUDES WORLD-CLASS ECO PARK
Sale of wetlands is ditchedASTRID FEBRUARIE ANDTASMIN CUPIDO
His victory celebrations after savingPrincess Vlei from development arejust about dying down.
Now Kelvin Cochrane is looking towardthe future of the vlei – the development ofa “world-class eco park for the people of theCape Flats.Eighteen years after the initial proposal to
develop a shoppingmall, taxi rank and park-ing area at Princess Vlei, the sale of the landhas been cancelled by theCity of Cape Town.Nearly five years after Cochrane got the
call from residents to assist in the fightagainst development, he is “elated” at the fi-nal outcome.“I’m looking forward now; the dream of
creating an eco park is no longer a dream,”he says.“At long last the voices of the people have
been heard. This is a victory for every per-son of the Cape Flats.”On Saturday 22 March, Cochrane and the
rest of the Princess Vlei Forum (PVF) wel-comed the news of the cancelled sale from
deputy mayor, Ian Nielson. PVF had organ-ised an event to showcase its vision for thevlei. It intended to hand over a petition anda document with the vision to Nielson.But mere hours before the event, the City
issued a press statement to announce it wascancelling the sale of the land.“The City has listened to the community
and decided that the proposal for a shoppingcentre on the Princess Vlei land is inappro-priate and will cancel the project,” it stated.It also stated it has been in discussions
with the developer, Insight Property Devel-opers, the last year to discuss “alternativesto the proposed development” and it wouldcompensate the developer for costs incurredon the project.Insight first proposed the development to
the then-South Peninsula Municipality in1996. Since then it has seen several applica-tions, processes, objections and claims ofcorruption.In July 2009, Cochrane and residents op-
posing the development held a petition sign-ing which saw 1800 people from across theCape Peninsula make the mark (“Battle tosave vlei heats up,” People’s Post, 21 July2009).
Questions about the R3m the City has in-vested in the rehabilitation project DressingthePrincess, headedbyCochrane, inAugust2008 arouse.Several petitions, awareness campaigns
and meetings with mayors and premierHelen Zille followed, and the application forthe extension of the Record of Decision forthe rezoning period was opposed.While the City turned down the applica-
tion for extension inNovember 2011, the pro-vincial minister for Environmental Affairsand Development Planning Anton Bredell,approved the application for the land to berezoned from public open space to businessin early 2012.Then Cochrane cried foul has he alleged
there were irregularities in the applicationprocess (“Mall development: corruptionclaims”, People’s Post, 25 September 2012).This prompted the country’s Priority
Crime Investigation unit, the Hawks, andthe National Prosecuting Authority (NPA)to investigate the allegations.The case is still under investigation, Co-
chrane says.The City also decided to pull the brakes on
the application, as it awaited the outcome of
the Hawks and NPA (“Probe puts outcomein balance”, People’s Post, 30 April 2013).Then came the announcement of the can-
cellation.The only wetlands on the Cape Flats has
also been proposed as a project forWorldDe-sign Capital 2014.The project “Imagine Princess Vlei” aims
to redesignand create aKirstenboschBotan-ical Gardens in the heart of Retreat. It, inpart, could entail the construction of an am-phitheatre, an information centre for fynbosrestoration, a plant nursery, a jetty, birdhides and much more.“The City has already appointed a task
team to pave the way forward for PrincessVlei,” Cochrane says.“The task team will,in conjunction with
community and the PVF work on ways tobring the ideas for Princess Vlei to life.While the soft work can be done now, thehard work requires planning.”PVF spokesperson Philip Bam believes
common sense has prevailed. “We can nowfocuson the future ofPrincessVlei,” he says.V Share your thoughts on the cancellation of sale.Starting with the word “Post” SMS your commentsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

TRANSPORT: CLEAR MARKINGS FOR VEHICLES
New rules for school taxisBRENDEN RUITER
Providers of transportation for schoolchildren will soon be strongly regulat-ed as council’s transport authority,
Transport for Cape Town (TCT), will soonimplement new regulations.It is imperative that school transport is
regulated as part of the City of Cape Town’scomprehensive integrated transport sys-tem, said TCT transportation regulationmanager Lee van den Berg.“Thousands of children are transported
daily between their homes and schools. Itis important that the quality of their trans-portation is monitored. Under the newrules, contractors will have to have anagreement with the school andmust also beregistered with TCT.“A copy of the agreement between the
school and the contractor will have to be inthe vehicle at all times. School transport ve-hicles will also be clearly marked with asticker,” he says.Each driver will also be allocated a non-
transferable identification card to make
sure the personbehind the wheelis authorised todrive the vehicle.“During a re-
cent operation,we arrested adriver who wasdrunk at 07:00.Can we entrustour children intosuch a person’shands?” Van denBerg asks.“It is important
that the designat-ed person is be-hind the vehicle’ssteering wheel sothat this individ-ual can be held responsible if anything hap-pens. Drivers will also have to undergo eyeand special driving tests.”One of the most important aspects of the
new rules will be that particularly primaryschool childrenmust be accompanied by ei-
ther a parent or a teacher in their schoolbuses.“We’ve had a case where a two-year-old
boy stood on the pavement, unaware ofwhere his school is. Hewas just dropped off.There are also many cases where childrenare dropped on the other side of a busy high-way. We want to eliminate all these prob-lems.”The new rules will also include that
school buses have soft seats and first aidkits.Contractors must also provide TCT with
detailed routes.“We do not want a situation where school
transport infringes on existing routes cov-ered by other modes of transport.”

Euphoria at upgradeTASMIN CUPIDO@TazzCup
A portion of Buck Road Primary Schoolpupils will start the second academicterm in new classrooms.
This as the first phase of the upgrade ofthe school nears completion. The Lotus Riv-er school is one of 20 schools selected by theprovincial education department for re-placement in the last and this financial year.
“Replacing a school essentially means re-placing old school buildings originally builtwith inappropriate materials with newbrick and mortar structures,” says depart-mental spokesperson Bronagh Casey.
“Expanding facilities, in some cases, alsoallows us to expand access to the school, re-duce classroom ratios and improve theteaching and learning environment.”
Construction of the new school com-menced in September last year; the firstphase is expected to be complete on Friday.
The entire upgrade is expected to be com-plete in September.
PrincipalGerardineHerbert describes thefeeling of seeing the school being construct-ed as “surreal” as it took years for teachers’,pupils’ and the community’s dream to be re-alised. “This is a culmination of efforts ofmany people, including previous principals,over the years,” she says.
“We cannot believe that our children arefinally gettingwhat they deserve – to receivean education in a brick classroom.The origi-nal prefab building was supposed to housethe school for 15 years; 41 years later we aremoving into the new school.”
Buck Road Primary will now boast aschool hall, new admin block, 28 classrooms,two specialist rooms, a computer room, a li-brary and sports fields. The first phase in-cludes the construction of classrooms forGrades 1 to 6, the specialist rooms, computerroom and library, while the Grades 7 and Rclasses, admin block, school hall and sports
field will be completed in the next phase.“The new school hall can also be used by
the community for functions and could gen-erate income for the school,” Casey says.
“Additional facilities like the computerroom, library and sports fields, could also beaccessible to the community pending a deci-sion by the school governing body.”
Three classrooms, with the partitioningremoved, were previously leased out to thecommunity for various events such as birth-day parties, confirmations and meetings,Herbert says. “We will continue doing so inthe future as it is not only a source of incomefor the school, but form part of our believethat Buck Road Primary be a communityschool,” she says.
The school is one of three greater GrassyPark schools to benefit from an upgrade inthe last twoyears –PlantationRoadPrimaryinMontague’s Gift and Fairview Primary in
Grassy Park opened the doors of a newschool in January.
The project is also an opportunity for jobcreation in the community. A total of 29 resi-dents are temporarily employed through theCity’s Expanded Public Works Programme(EPWP) programme, says ward councillorLeslie Isaacs. “The workers were employedonMonday 27 January andwere selected viathe Rondevlei Subcouncil’s jobseeker data-base through a random selection process,”he says. “The workers were appointed to dogeneral maintenance work, such as assist-ing builders as well as cleaning duties. Theywill be paid by the contractor, Good HopeConstruction.”
The workers are contracted for threemonths, while 10 workers were selected toundergo further training. They will be em-ployedby the contractor on full-time thereaf-ter, Isaacs adds.V To register for the City’s job seeker database visitthe Rondevlei Subcouncil offices, on the corner of BuckRoad and Sixth Avenue in Lotus River, to complete ajobseeker application form.

After more that eight years some of theresidents of Zilleraine Heights infor-mal settlement finally received their
keys to their homes in Pelican Park.However, the move has not been smooth
as residents were instructed to break downtheir structures before they can receivetheir keys.EleanorHoedemaker, a resident, says she
is unhappy about the way they are beingtreated. “Those on the waiting list for ahome was told to break down their struc-tures or they would not receive their keys.It is extremely risky to pack up and moveas not everyone can afford to pay someoneto pick up their belongings to move it Peli-can Park,” she says.Hoedemaker says what she finds very
strange is someone who has been on thewaiting list for more than 25 years did notreceive a home, but a 22-year-old man whohas been on the list for less than two yearswas given a home.“I honestly feel like something is really
wrongwith the system. It is unfair and real-ly sad that thishashappened,”Hoedemakersays.She recalls on Saturday 18 March 2006,
residents moved to Zilleraine Heights andwere told by then mayor Helen Zille theywould only stay there for 18 months as Zillepromised to make them part of her firsthousing pilot project. “We were ignorant toour rights and believed what we were told.We feel betrayed by the system. We believethat there is inequality and corruptionwithin the City. All we need are homes foreveryone. We are not asking for much, arewe? she asks.
Ward councillor Shanen Rossouw couldnot confirm how many residents on thewaiting list have moved into their newhomes in Pelican Park. “There are somediscrepancies within the number of fami-lieswhohavemoved orwhoare on thewait-ing list. I will only be able to confirm oncean investigation has been carried out,” shesays.However, people who will not benefit are
those who have owned homes before, ac-cording to the national housing policy.“Residents who earn less than R3500 or
are unemployed will benefit from theproject, but they also need to be registeredon a housing waiting list,” Rossouw adds.Hoedemaker says of the 63 families on the
waiting list more than 43 have moved totheirnewhomes. “I amveryhappy for thosepeople who received their homes and wishthem all the best. However, what will hap-pen to the rest of us? Will we also be askedto break down our structures and wherewill we sleep?” Hoedemaker asks.She further says she will remain on the
piece of land until everyone has been assist-ed. “We came here together and we want toremain together. I will not leave until weare all treated equally. The only way theywill get me out of here is if I am dead,” shesays.Rossouw says the City asked residents to
dismantle their shacks to prevent otherpeople frommoving into them. “We thoughtit is best to ask residents to do this as itwould not be fair for them to have a formalhouse and another structure in the infor-mal settlement,” she adds.Rossouw confirms beneficiaries who
have moved into their new homes are ex-pected to renovate, which includes flooringand painting their two bedroom homes.

PEOPLE'S POST | GRASSY PARKThursday, 27 March 201410 MOTORING
You never hear that. Lucky number 11!It’s always lucky number seven oreven three, but never 11. Then again
luck has nothing to do with this.For those not in the know, 11 is the
number of generations Toyota has success-fully pulled off when it comes to the Corollarange.
This is one of the best-selling modelswithin the Toyota stable. Hitting more than40 million sales worldwide over the years.That’s not where it ends, though.
With the new Toyota Corolla that hit themarket in January, there are no signs oftheir track record slowing down.
The new Corolla hasn’t been on the mar-ket for more than two months and alreadymade it to the top ofCARmagazine’s annualTop 12 Best Buys, walking off with the titleof Best Compact Sedan for 2014.
One of my favourite car sites broke itdown best: “If car shopping were computersoftware, the Corolla could be the defaultsetting. It has the space, power, and fea-tures to meet most people’s needs.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Thisis the ultimate all-rounder, with more.
The thing with bringing out a new edi-tion/model to a car that has been on themarket since 1975 is that you will have tomake it better every year.
You can’t just stay stagnant. Standingstill is just as bad as taking a step back.Don’t fear, though.
Toyota will never stand still! The Corollais proof of that.
With leather all round (smaller enginemodels do sport a bit of cloth), electric win-dows, 6.1” colour touch display LCD screen,reverse camera, multi-function steeringwheel, and a dash board that gives me asense of belonging; a sense that generallyonly ever gets created by a car that will setyou back more than half a bar. It truly deliv-ers.
The new Corolla benefits from a three-year/100 000km warranty and comes witha standard five-year/ 90 000 km serviceplan.
Service intervals are set at 15 000km (in-cluding the 1.4 D).
The new models are also supported by theToyotaCare Roadside Assistance Pro-gramme which entitles customers to 24-hour roadside assistance, ensuring ulti-mate peace-of-mind motoring.
And 11 doesn’t just stop at the number ofgenerations, it also marks the number ofmodels the new Corolla will be available in.The 11 models are as follows with pricing:1.3 Esteem R214 900; 1.3 Prestige R232 900;1.4 D Esteem R237 900; 1.4 D PrestigeR249 900; 1.6 Esteem R225 900; 1.6 PrestigeR241 900; 1.6 Prestige MD S R252 900; 1.6Sprinter R248 900; 1.8 Prestige R251 900; 1.8Exclusive R272 900; and 1.8 Exclusive MD SR283 900.V The Corolla was recently launched at Halfway Toyo-ta in Ottery. For more information phone the officeon (021) 703 9174 or visit them at the HypermarketCentre in Ottery Road, Ottery.

I have loved Ford since the very first timethatmyoldmansaidhis dreamcarwouldbe a 1965 Ford Falcon.Well, over 20 years
later and I still love Ford.The only problem was that I discovered
SUVs. With that said, Ford took a place onthe back seat as none of their SUVs reallycaught my eye. That has changed though,in a big way.Ford surprised us with two new releases
last year in the SUV rage, or shall I say “ba-by”SUVrange.TheFordKugaand theFordEcoSport.Great, Ford came to the SUVparty. It was
totally worth the wait!I recently drove the EcoSport EcoBoost
1.0l GTDi Titanium. The review on this ba-by went onto paper very easily. The hardpart was giving this beauty up aweek later.It formed part of the family.Don’t get me wrong with the “baby” talk;
there is nothing “baby” about theEcoSport.It delivers.Or likeFord’s slogan says: “Fordgoes further”. It went further. Much fur-ther. Reaching the 100kmmark with 5.7F offuel and only emitting only 131g/km of CO²emissionsmakes this SUVnot just aworthy
contender in the SUV market, but also aneconomical and ecological contender ofnote. That is rarely said about SUVs.They’re known to be very thirsty (not eco-friendly) on the roads.Laying eyes on the Ford EcoSport for the
first time was like watching a rugby lockgetting ready for a scrum. The EcoSport isshort and high, with a buff front end andrugged backside. With a bulky, coveredspare wheel attached to the outside of thelarge and convenient side-opening reardoor, it implies pure ruggedness and welove it for that!Stepping into the EcoSport you immedi-
ately see that it is definitely part of the Fordfamily. With the dash reminding me of theever popular Fiesta model.The dash is hard plastic which I wasn’t
originally a fan of, but it works. Everythingcomes together. The boot is slightly lessspacious as youwould like, but fold the rearseats and the load space more than doublesup.Bottom line? Ford took its time in enter-
ing the SUV segment, and they made itworth it. The EcoSport is practical, withvery good on-road dynamics. Maybe therewill be a Ford EcoSport 4x4 on the cardssomeday
ECO-nice: Ford’s EcoSport is a welcome entry to the SUV market. PHOTO: MARC BOW PHOTOGRAPHY

’Plain trio prove their powerLIAM MOSES@LiamCPT
Three Mitchell’s Plain residents wonseveral medals, shattered records andearnednational colours at theSouthAf-
rica Powerlifting Federation Raw Champi-onships.Brothers Umar and Ebrahim Pregnolato
and EbrahimMobara impressed at the tour-nament earlier this month and are now setto represent SA at the International Power-lifting Federation Raw Championships inJune.Raw powerlifting sees athletes compete in
the sport’s three disciplines – bench press,squat and deadlifts – without equipmentsuch as squat suits or bench vests for assist-ance.This will be Umar’s second international
event after competing at the world equippedchampionships, where equipment is al-lowed. He believes he may have an advan-
tage.“I’m going to be training a lot harder this
time,” he says.“I’m far better at raw events. Two years
ago I competed in the SA equipped champi-onships without equipment – just kneewraps, no squat suit and no bench vest – andI got the overall trophy. I did the same at(the) world champs. I think I stand a chanceof winning a medal this year. The othercountries aren’t as strong at raw.”The 19-year-old placed second in both the
junior and senior 74kg categories at the SAChampionships, while younger brother Eb-rahim took first in the sub-junior and thirdin the junior 66kg categories.The 16-year-old also broke five records at
the champs, rewriting the sub-junior squat,bench press, deadlift and overall total
records and the junior deadlift record in hisweight category.Ebrahim aims to break another record at
the World Championships.“I’m proud of my achievements as I failed
all my dead-lifts and squats at last year’s SAEquipped Championships,” he says.“I believe Iwill dowell at theWorld Cham-
pionships, because the deadlift record formydivision is 213kgand Iwas just 8kgs shortof that at the SA Championships.”Umar has been participating in the sport
for two years,while Ebrahimhas been train-ing for around a year.Mobara (50) has been training for just six
months. He won the 93kg Masters Two – for45 to 50-year-olds – category, broke the dead-lift record and claimed third in the MasterOne (40-45) 93kg category.
He says he took up the sport as his asthmaprevents him from doing other exercises.“Instead of sitting in front of the TV, I
trained for six months and the results speakfor themselves,” he says.“I enjoy it because it makesme strong and
allowsme todo something that (most people)my age can’t do. I love going home at night,in pain; I love getting fit; I love the challengeto improve.”The three athletes are all members of the
Mitchell’s Plain Powerlifting Club, whichwas started just 18 months ago.They will each need around R7 000 to com-
pete at the World Championships in Gau-teng.The club has called on any businesses to
help cover the cost by sponsoring the ath-letes, and thanked Winners Cash and Carryin Lentegeur for always assisting with spon-sorship in the past.V Anyone interested in assisting can phone Faik Preg-nolato on 073 182 1491.

Flying Fish Hoek’s football flagLIAM MOSES
@LiamCPT
Fish Hoek AFC’s junior sides are brim-ming with confidence ahead of the startof the amateur football season.
The club’s under-16 and under-13 sidesboth claimed titles over the weekend, cruis-ing to victory in the Rygersdal AFC andStrandfontein AFC tournaments respective-ly.
Junior club chairperson Michael Jenkinssays concentrating on development struc-tures made the victories possible.
“Over the last few years we have beenworking very hard to offer the community
really good football development,” he says.“All the junior teams play in the Cape
Town Tygerberg Local Football Association(CTTLFA) Super League and they all wantto be competitive. The league starts mid-April and we are looking forward to that.”
The under-16 sidewere unbeaten through-out the Rygersdal Tournament, winning sixgames to claim the title.
The under-13 side were evenmore impres-sive, staying unbeaten and notching up vic-tories against some of Cape Town’s best jun-ior teams.
Fish Hoek won three from three in thegroup stages, scoring 10 goals and concedingjust two in wins over Southampton, Fulham
and Holy Cross.They went on to thrash Standards FC 6-2
in the round of 16 and beat Morgenster Unit-ed 2-0 in the quarter-final.
In the semi-final they beat Milano United1-0 after the game was stopped early whena fan invaded the pitch, and then edgedMat-ies 2-1 in the final.
“The Strandfontein tournament is an ex-cellent draw of 32 clubs from around theCape; all the perennial powerhouses arethere,” Jenkins says.
“To win is a great achievement. Milanoknocked out Ajax in the quarter-final andMaties knocked-outOldMutual – to play andwin against those teams was great.”
Southampton won the Plate Division ofthe tournamentwith a 3-2 victory over Rock-A-Fellas, while Fulhamwon the Shield Divi-sion by beating Beacon Spurs 2-1.
Bayhill United’s Jody Arends claimed thetop goal-scorer award for netting nine goalsin the tournament.
Several of the teamswhich participated atthe Strandfontein tournament, includingthe victors and hosts, will again be in actionat theKensingtonAFCYouthCup for under-11s and under-15s this weekend.
It will take place at the Royal Road SportsComplex in Kensington this weekend – fromtomorrow (Friday 28 March) to Sunday 30March.

Trophy back in WP’s cabinetLIAM MOSES
@LiamCPT
The Western Province Softball women’steam coach has heaped praise on herplayers after the team’s National Pro-
vincial Championship (NPC) win over theweekend.Province suffered just one loss in the tour-
nament and beat Tshwane in the final atTurfhall on Sunday to claim the title.Coach Margi Hill credits every player for
the victory.“I’m overwhelmed and extremely proud of
the players’ performances,” says Hill.“You can have a game plan but if the play-
ers don’t execute it, you won’t win. I can’tdescribe how proud I am of the girls. Theywere determined to win this.”
Hill says she never doubted her team’sability to win the tournament.WP went into the NPC as favourites and
didn’t disappoint, drubbing KwaZulu-Natal11-1 in their opening game. They pulled offseveral other heavy victories during thetournament – Limpopo were brushed aside18-0, Central Gauteng were dispatched 14-2,Eastern Cape were thrashed 15-0 and NorthWest Province were pummelled 29-1.Tshwane were the only side to beat WP,
edging the hosts 7-5 on Saturday morning.However, Province made up for the loss
with a comfortable 9-2 win in the play-offson Saturday evening and a 8-5 win in the fi-nal on Sunday.Province’s Nicole Fortune describes the
victory as “meaningful” for all of her team-mates.
“It was nice to bring the title back to CapeTown considering WP didn’t participate atlast year’sNPC.Wehadn’twon for twoyearsbefore that, after having held it for so longbefore then,” she says.“It was awesome to win and even better
to win at home. We had so much supportwith all the spectators coming throughoutthe tournament.”Fortune says the games were still tough
despite the massive scores posted by herteam mates.The WP men’s team narrowly missed out
onaplace in the tournament final after a lossin the play-offs. They suffered just two de-feats heading into the knockout stages –against Tshwane and Limpopo.However, the men’s side came undone
against Erkuruleni in the knockout rounds,
losing 3-2. Province had defeated the sameErkuruleni side 4-0 in the group stages. Theloss meant WP finished the tournament infourth.
