CALL TO REGULATE: AVOID ‘POPUP’ DRIVING SCHOOLS
Spotlight on drivingNADINE MOODIE
Driving schools need to be regulated inSouthAfrica, saysNazeemKisten, act-ing general secretary of the South Af-
rican Driving School Operators Associa-tion (Sadsoa).
This comes after the association, whichhas been in operation for five years, foundthat very few measures are in place to en-sure that driving instructors deliver ade-quate service to learner drivers.
“Driving instructors onlyneed to pass theinstructors’ test before they can teach some-one how to drive,” says Kisten.
“This is not enough, because many in-structors learn through trial and error,don’t undergo advanced driving courses,and testing centres are often corrupt andaward certificates to people who have failedthe test.”
Sadsoa sent a draft bill of possible regula-tory clauses, which they believe should as-sist in governing the industry, to thenation-al transport department.
Kisten says the bill states that instructorsneed five years’ driving experience; (and)two years’ work experience as an instructorwith an accredited driving school.
He adds instructors also need to be “ap-proved by the provincial transport minis-ter; and should also attend a college whichoffers a rigorous driving school pro-gramme”.
The bill also looks at ways and means toregulate and accredit the driving school in-dustry. All driving schools in South Africaare unregulated as there’s no regulatorybody. More than 95% have not been accred-ited by the Transport Education TrainingAuthority (Teta).
This accreditation allows for driving
schools to apply for government and busi-ness tenders where they’ll be able to teachlearner drivers.
Kisten says tough economic times are of-ten the cause for people becoming drivinginstructors – they may have lost their jobsand have a car and some patience to teachlearner drivers. “But pop-up drivingschools, which are often called pirates, alsoneed to be accredited by Teta. Accreditationusually costs between R25 000 and R30 000,which only the large,more established driv-ing schools can afford,” he says.
“The only way more driving schools willbe accredited is if government reduces thelarge costs attached to accreditation andTeta approval. Large driving schools haveno issues with accrediting their businesses,because they have means to do so.”
Kisten says acquiring a driver’s licensewill become more difficult over time due tothe computerised learner’s test implement-ed at some testing centres.
This new testing means will requirelearner’s license candidates to sit in a simu-lator to test their possible driving skills, aswell as 16 hours of preparation.
He hopes to see testing yards regulated toensure they meet the standards set by thebill.
“Driving schools should join the associa-tion so they can be prepared for the possibleregulations, becauseby the time the govern-ment passes the legislation no one will beable to have an unaccredited drivingschool,” Kisten says.
“Cars used for teaching will need to be acertain type, with an operating number andall driving schools will need to be registeredcompanies with an office and a landline.”
He further adds the regulatory bodyhopes to apply these stringent rules, be-
cause of past cases where learners paid forlessons up front and fraudulent instructors,who operated from cars and with a cell-phone, disappeared with their money.
A learner driver, who spoke on conditionof anonymity, says he had been requestedto pay in advance for lessons at Aubrey’sDriving Academy, which had come highlyrecommended.
“The instructor asked for the money upfront. I did not feel comfortable handingover more than R1 000 to someone I did notknow, and instead switched to a schoolwhere I (was required to) pay per lesson,”he says.
Academy owner Aubrey Richter has beena driving instructor for 15 years. He, too,wants to see the industry regulated.
“An ombudsman is needed for drivingschools where people can lodge complaintsabout schools, because the industry lacksaccountability,” he says.
He says his business asks for paymentprior to lessons as people who pay per les-son are very inconsistent and lack commit-ment.
“It’s difficult to satisfy clients all the time.If people don’t like what they see, theyshould go to another established drivingschool and avoid the fly-by-night ones,” hesays.
Provincial department of transportspokesperson Al-Ameen Kafaar says thereis no legislation to regulate driving schools.
He says the department is in the processof finding a system to register drivingschools and compile a database.

Copper theft, trolleys causing trafficcongestion and vagrancy are some ofthe fears plaguing Wetton ratepayers
as the construction of a new scrap dealer-ship takes shape.
But while contractors are hard at work,laying the foundation at the corner of Wet-ton and Plantation roads, residents areseething as they were never given the op-portunity to have a say on the development.
The City of Cape Town says no public par-ticipation was necessary as the erf’s currentzoning allows for a scrap yard.
And owners SA Metal say several safetymeasures will be put in place to allay thecommunity’s concerns.
Cheryl Walters, the City of Cape Town’sdirector of planning and building develop-ment, says the erf on which SA Metal isbuilding is zoned for general industrial use.
As a result, no application was necessaryfor the opening of a scrap yard and publicparticipation was not required.
But a Wetton resident, who asks not to benamed, says she is outraged at what is beingbuilt on her doorstep.
“The premises is situated on a very busyroad. Imagine the traffic congestion causedby horses and carts as well as trolleys over-loaded with scrap,” she says.
“Crime will also escalate due to vagrantsscouting the area for taps, gates and drainswhich will be stolen to be exchanged at thescrap yard. Fights and arguments amongscrap collectors would also break out overgoods collected.
“I have also noticed that informal settle-ments suddenly spring up in the vicinity ofscrap yards and would hate for this area toturn into an area similar to that near theLansdowne Post Office. It will adversely af-fect Ottery, Lansdowne and Wetton.”
Chris Lane, the acting secretary of theLansdowne Community Police Forum andchairperson of the Civic Association ofRondebosch East, insists residents shouldhave been consulted.
“Regardless of zoning, any developmentshould go to the (ward) councillor, ratepay-ers associations, immediate neighboursand surrounding business forums,” hesays.
Mark Kleinschmidt from the KenwynRatepayers and Civic Association and Ken-wyn Safety and Security Association(Kraca/Kensasa) agrees.
“Public participation is essential in allkinds and types of developments in orderto determine any adverse effects it mayhave on the area, especially if the threat ofan increase in crime is discerned,” Klein-schmidt says.
“Scrapyards have allegedly become ha-vens for the melting down of stolen proper-ty by drug addicts and thieves who steal allkinds of metal that will derive them an in-come. The increase in drug abuse andnumber of addicts has exacerbated theproblem of petty theft and scrapyard deal-ers have been accused of buying electricityand railway cables which has resulted inpower outages and train delays.”
But SA Metal director Graham Barnettsays the company is the largest buyer ofscrap metal in the Western Cape and doesnot “operate under the cover of darknessand ask no questions”, as backyard opera-tors apparently sometimes do.
“Like all our yards, (the Wetton branch)will have a concrete surface to prevent pol-lution of groundwater, proper ablution fa-cilities, safety measures and security,” Bar-nett says.
“We operate only during normal daylightworking hours. We have security guards atall our scrap yards day and night. We haveCCTV cameras recording all activity andour yards have bright security lighting dur-ing the night.”
In response to concerns of increasedcrime in the area, Barnett says: “We do notbuy any scrap metals which we know areor suspect of being stolen. All scrap metalspurchased are photographed. Records, in-cluding photocopies of IDs, of all suppliersare kept for seven days in terms of the Sec-ond Hand Goods Act. In general, thieves donot attempt to sell metal to us.”
Kleinschmidt agrees that “with effectivemunicipal laws in place and the regulationof the scrapyard industry with regular spotchecks by law enforcement, legitimatescrap dealers will be welcome and the ille-gitimate dealers closed down”.
Lansdowne ward councillor AntheaGreen says not much can be done to stop thescrap yard from opening as no applicationwas necessary.
“This development will be good for busi-ness in the area. But I also think theft of ma-terials that can be scrapped will increaseand the so-called trolley brigade will de-scend on the surrounding areas. I suspectthis scrapyard will have a negative impacton the community.”
Lansdowne police spokesperson Consta-ble Nkululeko Mnyaka says the communityhas “every right to object to the licensingof a scrap yard”.
“However, our duty regarding any appli-cation for a business licence is to ensurethat all procedures had been followed ac-cording to the Second-Hand Goods Act No-6of 2009,” he says.
“It is now in the hands of the CPF and thecommunity to file an objection (so we cansend it) to the provincial office.”
Mnyaka adds that too many second-handgoods traders in an area present challengesto the police.
“(It brings) a lot of people pushing trolleysand coming to sell goods. Many of themscratch around in residents’ yards [insearch of goods that can be sold]. We willincrease visibility and stop and search trol-ley pushers to ensure they do not have sto-len property.”
He urges the community to phone War-rant Officer Shaun Petersen on(021) 700 9010 or 072 271 7130 with any com-plaints regarding stolen or scrapped goods.

PHUMLANI VILLAGE: SUSTAINABLE GARDENS PLANNED
Light at the endof the tunnelTAURIQ HASSEN
A pair of high tunnels for PhumlaniVil-lage will be the start of a new era fora community drowning in poverty.
The high tunnels – a dome-like green-house–will be used to growproduce all yearround and will meet a number of needs forboth the community and the New ChapterFoundation (NCF), the local organisationdriving the project.NCFdirectorMalcolmJosephs says fund-
raising has already been wrapped up, withthe organisation securing R120 000.The project will start off with two high
tunnels, which will cost R58 000 each.“We are currently in negotiationwith the
City of Cape Town for available land; thatis the challenge right now – finding openland,” he says.Josephs says NCF have their eyes set on
a vacant patch of land in Schaapkraal, buttalks are still underway.The organisation was founded in March
2011 and serves communities across theCape Town region. NCF recently also start-ed a nutrition centre which provides soupfor the children on Fridays, as well as tomany who struggle with malnutrition.The produce grown at the high tunnels
will be used to feed the nutrition centre toprovide low-cost, local, nutritious and or-ganic food to the Phumlani Village commu-nity.Employment opportunities will also be
created, will assist with educating the com-munity about nutrition and provide practi-
cals to whoever needs help with startingtheir own gardens.The tunnels could also provide NCF with
some additional income through the sellingof some produce in local markets whichwill, in turn, go towards projects like thenutrition centre.“This is a fantastic opportunity for the
community to have something that will notonly benefit them now, but in the long run.This can be a really great project that couldleave a lasting legacy,” Josephs says.Project coordinator Ben Pfeffer says ex-
citing times lay ahead for the informal set-tlement, as the tunnels will be aimed at cre-ating some positivity within the communi-ty. “Projects like these are really important,because this is a community where the un-employment rate is really high,” he says.“This is a good step towards poverty alle-
viation and we hope this will be the startof many more positive projects for the vil-lage.”Josephs also indicated that a local busi-
nessman has already agreed to sponsor athird tunnel, but discussions are still un-derway.Phumlani Village resident Solumsi
Mkhize is excited at the prospect of havinga project that will benefit the community.“Our area has very little working oppor-
tunities and people in this community arefrustrated about that,” she says.“It reallywould help to have a project like
this in the area, because not only can peoplebeworking, but the things they areworkingon will be for the community.”

BLACKBIRD AVENUE: STREWN WITH LITTER
Living amidheaps of dirtTAURIQ HASSEN
Rubbish bags lining the street have al-ready been sniffed through by curiousdogs and the odd vagrant or two, leav-
ing a Parkwood Estate avenue in a terriblestate.Residents inBlackbirdAvenueare fed-up
about the state of their road due to theamount of rubbish littered across thestreet.Resident Sharief Toeffy is incensed,
claiming the state of Blackbird Avenue isan immediate result of wheelie bin theft.“People just throw their rubbish out into
the street, not caring about the next person.This place is a mess and nobody seems tocare,” he says.He further claims to have witnessed a
number of vagrants carting their belong-ings around in clearly marked wheeliebins. “Nowonder our streets look like bins.This is not right; we have the right to livein an area that is healthy and clean,” Toeffyangrily says.When People’s Post visited the area last
week, an empty tract of land, runningparal-lel to Blackbird Avenue, was littered withdirt ranging from building rubble to house-hold goods. Another frustrated resident,Fiona Ann Thomas, describes the situationas a “health hazard”.“Sometimes you see children playing in
the dirt, which is thrown in the streets andon people’s properties; it really is just onebig mess,” she says.Thomas adds she found six bags of
dumped rubbish on her doorstep after shehad the front of her property cleaned two
weeks ago.“The people of this community have just
given up – they no longer care about thespace they are living in, which is really sadfor the people who actually care,” she says.The City of Cape Town recently launched
a Community Garden project in the area,which will target dumping hotspots andturn them into areas for gardening by resi-dents. Ward councillor Melanie Arendsedubbed the vacant plot in Blackbird Ave-nue as one of the “hottest dumping loca-tions” in Parkwood Estate.She confirms that strip of land in Black-
bird Avenue has been eyed by the City fora Community Garden project to be started.Arendse explains that the City’s Solid
Waste Department regularly visits the areato conduct clean-ups. But despite their ef-fort, it soon returns to its filthy state.Arendse, along with other City officials,
recently conducted a site visit at the prob-lematic strip of land.“It was just disgusting; we had to walk
through all kinds of things. The dumpingis usually done by people living in the near-by informal settlement and those who havehad their bins stolen,” she says.“People must start standing up and pro-
tecting their community from illegal dump-ing. There are people who know who theculprits are and I urge them to capture de-tails, and report these crimes.”If residents have had their bins stolen,
they should refrain fromdumpingand rath-er report the matter to the police, Arendsesays. Once the a case number is issued, theCity can issue a new bin.V Report illegal dumping to 0860 103 089.

Police are continuing to keep a close eyeon anOtteryhousewhichhadbeen ear-lier raided for being a sex trade venue.
An undercover operation was held at thehouse just off Ottery Road earlier this year,(“Police bust ‘brothel’ workers”, People’sPost, 23 July) where two Chinese nationalswere arrested after a number of complaintswere lodged with the City of Cape Town andGrassy Park police.Complaints suggested the business had
been operating under the disguise of a mas-sage parlour, but concerns were rife that a“brothel” was being run from the house.Ottery residents remain adamant that de-
spite the earlier undercover operation, busi-ness is continuing as normal.A nearby resident, who chose to remain
anonymous, says cars are still regularlyseen pulling up in the driveway and the cli-ents are believed to be inside the for hourson end.“The people cannot understand if an oper-
ation was held, how is it that the business
is still allowed to continue?”The resident says the occupants of the
house, Chinese nationals, are seldom seenoutside the house and spend most of theirhours behind closed doors.He says: “People are afraid to speakupand
be known, because you never know if thisbusiness is being run by some Chinese ma-fia, because then our lives would be in dan-ger.”“We cannot allow these sort of illegal busi-
nesses to be operating in our community, be-cause if it is indeed still up and running,
then it shows they have no respect for thelaw.”Warrant Officer Wynita Kleinsmith con-
firms that the case is currently still pendingand police continue to monitor the activityat the house.Kleinsmith could not reveal any further
measures to implemented, saying: “We can’tdisclose information about possible raids.”Attempts to gain comment from Ismail
Jeffries, chairperson for theOtteryCivicAs-sociation,was unsuccessful at the time of go-ing to print.

NEW ALBUM: LAUNCHED WITH CONCERT
Tune in withCape Town’sjazz legendsGARY VAN DYK
The rich legacy of Cape Jazz lives onwith the release of new recordingfrom the Mountain Records label at
a special launch concert this weekend.The Cape Jazz Band, a collaboration of
local musos started, a few years ago andboats stellar talent. With this Cape JazzSeries they are now releasing Volume 4,Musical Democracy.
Mountain Record’s Paddy Lee-Thorpehas been in the music industry in thispart of the world since the 1970s, havingproduced and managed acts such as Pacif-ic Express and Jonathan Butler, when hestarted getting into the jazzier side of mu-sic. “I’ve never lost my love for the musicfrom the Cape,” Lee-Thorpe confesses.
“Most of the time I am based in Germa-ny, but when I want to take a quick triphome, one of my CDs from here has meback in a flash.
“This project is very important to meand the musical heritage of music fromthe Cape, as there is still so much musicthat these living legends have to offer.More importantly, it is now also giving
the younger generation a chance to workwith these legends to inspire the genera-tions to come.”
Under the leadership of veteran stardrummer Jack Momple, compositions byErrol Dyers, Stephen Erasmus, SpencerMbadu and Ramon Alexander have beenrecorded.
It was also made to pay tribute to thememory of the Mountain Records record-ing artists such as Robbie Jansen andTony Schilder, who have passed on.
While Dyers, Erasmus, Mbadu andMomple are an integral part of the richlegacy of the music, they were also joinedby reknowned percussionist DizuPlaatjies and Tony Cedras, a multi-in-strumentalist from the Cape, who hasgone on to take to the world stages withthe best in the business.

Technology support for matricsThank you for your coverage of our MatricSupport website (“Matric pupils get connect-ed”, People’s Post, 24 September).
The report raised concern about access toTelematics videos thatwe are nowplacing onYouTube.
Wewould like to assure all candidates thatthey can obtain copies of all Telematics vide-os and pastmatric papers digitally at districtoffices of the Western Cape Education De-partment (WCED).
The WCED has installed computer “Toast-ers” at these offices, where candidates andschools can download Telematics videos andpast matric papers on flash drives, CDs andDVDs, and to laptops and tablets via WiFi.
They can also download Learning Channelvideos from these machines.
The Telematics videos cover six matricsubjects, Mathematics, Physical Sciences,Life Sciences, Accountancy, Geography,English First Additional Language and Afri-kaans First Language.
TheWCED joined forceswith theUniversi-ty of Stellenbosch in 2009 to broadcastmatriclessons via satellite to 144 schools.
The department nowhasmany hours of re-cordings of the lessons and has made theselessons available to schools and individualcandidates free of charge via the self-service“Toasters” at district offices.
The address details of our district officesare available on our web site at http://wced.school.za.
Candidates can also obtain full sets of theDVDs at nominal cost from Edumedia, theWCED’s media production unit, at 3 StationRoad, Mowbray (021 689 8912).
The department started editing the videosthis year to make them available onYouTube.
Our YouTube channel features 180 videosso far, covering Mathematics, Physical Sci-ence and Geography.
Candidates will find links to the videos ona special Matric Support website via http://wced.school.za.
Meanwhile, candidates can also access theMatric Support site at 18 Cape Access E-Cen-tres, established by the provincial govern-ment across the Western Cape.
They can download materials and watchthe videos at the centres, subject to availablebandwidth.
The provincial government establishedthe Cape Access E-Centres in every districtto improve access to information and com-munication technology in poor and ruralcommunities throughout the Western Cape.
Details on where to find the centre can befound at http://www2.capeaccess.org.za/
(The quote) that Khanya labs are no longeroperating at schools in your report is nottrue. Khanyawas a 10-year project to provideschools with technology to support teachingand learning.
The project came to an end, as planned, in2012.
The department is continuing to supporttechnology as a mainstream service, as partof our on our e-learning programme.
Candidates can discuss access to computerlabs with their schools.
While the videos and other forms of sup-port may be useful for many candidates, webelieve that success will ultimately dependon the extent to which candidates plan theirstudies and stick to these plans.
We wish every candidate every success inthese final weeks before the exams.PADDY ATTWELLWCED SPOKESPERSON
Police must do more to fight crimeYour article (“Call to oust drug dealers”,People’s Post, 24 September) is quite reveal-ing of the attitude to community policing ofthe Grassy Park police station commander.
He seems to have a deficiency in under-standing what policing is all about.
If it was only about raids and arrests, ashe seems to suggest, then one can say he isdoing a good job.
If it is about preventing crime and rid-ding our communities of the criminalsholding poor communities to ransom, thenthe strategy of “hit and run” is totally inef-fective.
Police are spending a lot of State resourc-es to keep on returning to the same drugoutlets time after time. It is like amerry-go-round, all motion and no progress.
An integrated approach is needed if weare to rid our neighbourhoods of the drugpushers who destroy our children’s future.
The police also know of unsafe areas,where open fields are overgrown creatingideal crime spots where rapes and violenceagainst our children can easily be perpe-trated. How much effort is it to write to themunicipal authorities who will treat a let-ter from the police with the seriousness itdeserves?
This would be in support of the efforts ofthe community as well.
It helps to strengthen the case of the Cityof Cape Town when they apply to courts foreviction of these evil-doers.
Theobjective of police activitymust sure-ly be to ensure a safe living environmentfor citizens.
The station commander is reported in thearticle to have said: “We are not obliged toprovide any case numbers to the City”.
What an arrogant approach to communi-ty policing. It’s not about being obliged todo things, but rather to support the commu-nity as expressed in the call by the council-lor. All we ask is that police in Grassy Parkdo more to help the community solve thedrug problem.
We don’t want them to just “manage” itthrough raids and arrests. Real policingmakes the problem go away.
The community has gone out its way tofight crime, often at great personal loss andwith extreme couragewhich should be sup-ported by police and not just dismissed.
The problemwith policing is that it is toooften reactive after the fact – and not proac-tive.
However, there are many committed po-lice people at Grassy Parkwhomust be justas frustrated as the community they serve.
The leadership must change attitude orelse crime will rule this police precinct.
We understand that police cannot do thisalone, but it does help if police has a posi-tive attitude and a problem solving ap-proach.PHILIP BAMLOGRA CHAIRPERSON

Police members aretired and stressed because of the workload!Concerned resident, V Nicholas.
. Why can’t the police catch the scam-sters who are trying to rip-off innocent peo-ple from their money? They leave theirphone numbers, but the cops can’t catchthem. I phoned frommy landline and spoketo them, but they put the phone down.Makes you think... P Petersen, Ottery.

WP win Iqhawe WeekLIAM MOSES
A glut of Western Province play-ers have been named in theSouth African Rugby Legends
Association Iqhawe Week All StarTeam.The All Star Team will not play
any matches but head of develop-ment for SA Rugby Legends, PieterMuller says the selection could raiseplayers’ profile and lead to them be-ing selected for elite squads at theirunions. “The All Star Team couldn’tbe a formalnational side, as all 16un-ions were not competing. But wewanted to give recognition to theplayers who played well at the tour-nament,” Muller says.“It’s important for unions to un-
derstand that they should be lookingat the players we picked for theirelite squad system, as these kids are15-years-old and are eligible for theGrant Khomo Week.“All we can do is contact the un-
ions to inform themof the selections.
It’s up to the unions to (take it fur-ther); we will do what we can to getthe kids in.”The Iqhawe Week was hosted at
City Park in Athlone last week andeight coastal provinces competed inthe under-15 tournament. The teamswere WP, Boland, Griquas, KwaZu-lu-Natal, South Western Districts,Golden Lions, Border and EasternProvince. All players selected for theprovinces came from developingrugby schools; the vast majoritycame from schools which partici-pate in the Vuka League – anotherinitiative of SA Rugby Legends.Muller says the aim of the Vuka
League and the Iqhawe Week is tocreate a means to develop playersand offer them a “pathway” to theelite set-up at their unions.“Wewant to give these kids anoth-
er opportunity to be seen.We are notlooking at the top schools; we arelooking at the rural schools and thedormant schools. Nobody looks atthose schools. We want to give them
the opportunity,” he says.“Our Vuka programme in the
Western Cape has over 80 schools.That’s where the WP team was se-lected from– fromschools that neverplayed rugby; schools in Langa andAtlantis. That’s whatwewant to cre-ate all around the country.”Players in theWP team came from
16different schools across thePenin-sula, including Mountview High inHanover Park, Spine Road, Port-lands and Lentegeur high schools inMitchell’s Plain and Darul Islam inGreenhaven. Province eventuallywon the tournament after defeatingSouthWesternDistricts 14-6 in final.The IqhaweWeekwill be hosted in
adifferent provincenext year andall16 provinces are set to participate.Muller adds that the tournamentwill have “the same credibility asthe Grant Khomo and CravenWeeks”.V WP’s Dillon Kaalmeyer, Laaiq Felton, Tou-feeq Hendricks, Ziyaad Adams, Bradley deJongh were selected for the team.
Runner needs help to wear the green and goldLIAM MOSES
A Cape Town athlete could have hisdream of representing South Africaripped away from him just days be-fore it becomes reality.Strandfontein resident Percy Kel-
ly (48) qualified for theWorldAthlet-ics Masters’ Championships, butmay not be able to attend the tourna-ment due to a lack of funds.Kelly sayshehas already raised al-
most half of the R35 000 needed to at-tend and used it to pay for his flight
and registration at the tournament.“I still need around R20 000 to cov-
er my other travelling, food and ac-commodation,” he says.“I approached many companies
but no one has said they would spon-sor me – even partially.“I actually don’t know what to do
and time is running out. If no onesponsorsme, Iwill have to cancelmytrip.”The money Kelly has raised thus
far came through one large donationfor his air fare and door-to-door col-
lecting he did at work and in Strand-fontein.The Masters’ Championships will
take place in Brazil fromWednesday16 to Sunday 27 October, and Kellywill need todepart onFriday 11Octo-ber.He currently runs road, cross
country and track races and willcompete in the 5 000m track race and8km cross country race at the Cham-pionships.Anyone interested in assisting
Kelly can call him at 084 814 0368.

The weight of expectation that comeswith the “favourites” tag can be crip-pling for a sports team.
Not so for Milano United.The Grassy Park side have started the Na-
tional First Division (NFD) season in fineform, winning four out of four matches andscoring nine goals while conceding justthree.This promising start, combined with a
surprising showing last season – their firstin theNFD –has seenMilano crowned early-season favourites.Head coach Theo Hempe says his team
doesn’t mind either way.“There are no clear favourites in this
league. The good start doesn’t mean any-
thing; we still have to finish well,” Hempesays.“We don’t mind being called favourites.
There is mental toughness in this team andwe believe we are good enough to win theleague.Wedon’t carewhetherweare favour-ites ornot.Webelievewe cango all theway.”Milano started the season with a 2-0 win
against Jomo Cosmos (H), went on to beatFC Cape Town 3-1 (A) and edged Roses Unit-ed 1-0 (A).On Sunday Hempe’s charges recorded
theirmostmeaningful victory thus far, beat-ing African Warriors 3-2 (H) in a top-of-the-table clash. The Free State team went intothis match placed second on the table, trail-ing their opponents on goal difference.Warriors finished sixth last season, a
place above Hempe’s side, and Milano are
yet to play any team who finished in the topfive.Hempe rejected the idea that his team’s po-
sition at the summit could be due to a easystart to the season.“Nogames are easy in this league. It’s very
difficult to win four in a row,” he says.“The players have matured and learned
since last season.Weare good enough tobeatevery team. It doesn’t matter who we play,every game is difficult.”Milano are likely tomaintain their perfect
record on Saturday when they face sixth-placed NFD debutantes Baroka FC.The Black and Yellow will be without
2012/2013 top goal scorer Lesvin Stoffels forat least another two weeks. But Hempe be-lieves his side will manage to win withouttheir hitman.
“We have all-round strength in our team.All our players aren’t available, but we havedepth in our squad,” he says.“There is (still) a lot of room for improve-
ment. Themore the team plays together, thebetter they will get. And with the playerscoming back from injury and reaching fullfitness, the team will just get better.”Meanwhile, fifth-placed Santos will hope
to get their promotion campaign back ontrack when they host Black Leopards at Co-etzenberg Stadium in Stellenbosch tomor-row (Friday) at 19:30.Leopards were relegated from the Absa
Premiership last season and have drawnthree games and lost one thus far. Santoshave won one match and drawn two.A victory could see the People’s Team
climb to third on the table.
