PRICE HIKE: COMMUTERS SEEK OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORT
Fuelled to take taxisTAMMY PETERSEN
More feet aremaking their way towardpublic transport interchanges as fuelprices hit an all-time high last week.
And if the rand’s value continues to plum-met, more petrol price hikes could be in thepipeline.Lift clubs, cycling and even old-fashioned
walking are some of the alternatives motor-ists are now forced to consider to keep theirbudgets balanced.Taxi driver Arnold Dreyer says the clus-
ters of peoplewaiting at pick-up points havegrown in the last week. An increase in pas-sengers is fantastic, he says, as drivers willnow have to drive extra trips to make theirdaily targets.“Most of the stops on my route have dou-
bled in the number of passengers. It reallyis a blessing because the petrol price in-crease is really eating at our pockets,” hesays.“No driver will ever say no thanks to ex-
tra bums on the seats.”To which one grumpy, particularly
squashed commuter responded: “Ja, butone seat is made for one bum!”Taxi fares only increase once a year and
taxi bosses say there has been no word ona price hike – yet.Douglas Mdoda says he has started work-
ing an hour extra to “squeeze in” an extratrip.“I have three kids and awife whom I need
to support. If I don’t make my target, myboss doesn’t pay me in full and I don’t makeany extras. We work on a system similar toa commission structure. And if you don’tbring in the money, you don’t get fullypaid.”Switching from his own car to public
transport was an easy decision to make,Ralph Ockers says.He previously travelled about 40kms a
day between home and work, and says therecent petrol price increase would havewreaked havoc on his budget.“I could manage if the price per litre rose
by 10c, but to jump by almost R1 is ridicu-lous. Driving yourself to work is becominga luxury,” he says.Train services apparently haven’t seen a
drastic increase in commuters heading tostations.However, some periods have seen more
bodies make their way through the turn-stiles, says one ticket barrier.
“Usually, things slow down between 07:30and 09:00, as most people would already beclose to or at work. But this period has nowalso become more busy,” he explains.More “professional-looking” people are
also using the train, he adds.“It appears that more suit and high-heel
wearing commuters are standing on theplatforms. It is, after all, the cheapest trans-port service.”Lizelle Marais works as a personal assist-
ant in the city centre.For five years she has been part of a lift
club, but can no longer afford this “luxury”.“It was either give up the wheels or give
up the necessities,” she says.“And while travelling by train is most of
the time quite unreliable and in no wayglamorous, it is easy on the pay cheque.”Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committee
member for Transport, urges motorists toconsider using public transport whereverpossible, or towalk or cycle to take the sting
out of the fuel price hike.“The cost of travellingonpublic transport
is a fraction of the cost of running a privatevehicle. Another consideration is that pub-lic transport costs increase only once a year– not whenever there is a rise in the priceof fuel,” Herron says.The capacity of the current road and
transport infrastructure is under increas-ing pressure, resulting in longer peak peri-ods, worsening congestion and wasting val-uable time in traffic, Herron explains.“Public transport really is the way of the
future – it is much cheaper, less stressful,and more environmentally-friendly thantravelling by car. It is a crucial factor inbuilding a sustainable Cape Town and help-ing to increase the liveability of the city.”
ONE STOP: Taxis are one of the three modes of public transport cashstrapped motorists mayconsider.

While other teenagers spend their time onidle pursuits, a group of youngsters are plot-ting their next move to help their communi-ty.Calling themselves Making Originality
Beautiful (MOB), six youngsters are puttingtheir talents to good use to raise funds. Theymodel, sing and dance.MOB manager Roekshana Adams says in
spite of the group having failed at their firstattempt to raise funds for an old-age home,they are already planning their next event.“What makes us unique is that we are
young and we pride ourselves in that wedon’t promote the use of alcohol or drugs,which is a factor influencing our youth to-day,” she says.Earlier this year, the group hosted an
event at the Retreat Civic Centre and hopedto donate half of their earnings towards anold-age home of their choice.“We had hoped to make enough money to
donate to a charity. We were not able to, butwewill not stop there,” a determinedAdamssays.Founding member Isgaak Cassiem (19)
says MOB is about giving youngsters theplatform to strut their stuff and at the samegive back to their communities.The idea was generated once the young-
sters realised that with their free time theycan use their unique talents to raise fundsfor the less fortunate.“It was tough in the beginning, but we
have set a goal for ourselves. This organisa-
tion has brought somany differentpeople togetherfrom different are-as, all wanting togive back to thecommunity,” hesays.MOB plans to
make their first do-nation to the Beit-un-Nur home, butalso has many oth-er ideas for the fu-ture to assist thosein need. They areplanning a blanketdrive and aim to al-so collect second-hand clothing forthe poor.Fay-yaadh Sam-
uels (19) fromHanover Park sayshe joined MOB tohelp the many chil-dren facing toughtimes.“We might only
be doing this forfun, but we have agoal in mind and that is to ensure that weare looking after those who don’t have,” hesays.“Some people take the little things for
granted, but that is what MOB hopes to ad-dress. We hope to give back to the poorer
members of the community.”Ashraf Karriem (18), a model fromOttery,
says giving back to the destitute makes himfeel good.“It could easily have beenanyof us in such
a position. I know that if I was poor, I would
want people to care and try and help me,”he says.V MOB is calling on the rest of the community to comeforward and assist them in achieving their goals. Anybody interested can contact Roekshana on078 396 7083.

Pitfalls of after-work drinksTAURIQ HASSEN
It may be a form of socialising, but after-work drinking with colleagues has itsown pitfalls.For factory worker Johan Abraham Hol-
lenburg (47) it had dire consequences. Hol-lenburg was murdered during an alterca-tion on Friday 14 June.
After a long day at work, Hollenburg andsome colleagues decided to unwind with afew beers on the side of the road. But thingsquickly turned ugly.
His close friend, Jo-AnneCeasar, says thegroup was joined bymen from a nearby fac-tory, who were allegedly also drinking.
Matters came to a head and Hollenburgwas badly beaten and died of his injuries.He is believed to have been kicked in thehead several times by men wearing steel-tipped boots.
“It is really sad, but the message is quiteclear: if Johan just returned home to hisfamily this could have all been avoided andhe would still be with us today,” saysCeasar, with a heavy heart.
She says the sight of factoryworkers gath-ering to drink on the side of the road is an
all too familiar sight with dangerous anddeadly repercussions.
“You will hear them fighting among eachother, arguing and making threats. Theyare not even supposed to be on the road, butwith their families,” she says.
“This is amajor problem and peoplemustbe warned before many others follow in thesame footsteps as Johan.”
Leeny Harris, Hollenburg’s devastatedaunt, says she still looks out for her nephewin the afternoon.
The Ottery resident says she has yet tocome to terms with his death. “He was al-ways standing outside making jokes andmaking people laugh. He never hurt any-body.”
She still has the last image of her nephewimprinted in her memory, adding it is toolate to wish he had come straight home thatday.
“He was grown man and I never told himwhat to do. But it would have been nice ifhe had just come home. Maybe he wouldstill be outside making people laugh,” shesays before breaking into tears.
A Wynberg furniture factory owner, Is-ma-eel Daniels, says after-work parties
have already claimed three lives at hisworkplace.
In one incident two of his workers wereinvolved in a car crash.
Another worker was stabbed six timesduring a robbery. He later succumbed to hisinjuries.
“I havemany people working in the facto-ries and cannot control all of themonce theyleave the workplace.”
Daniels has resorted to safer alternatives.“I decided that we should start a social clubto get our workers to refrain from drinkingafter work,” he says.
The social club has been in place for justover a year and every Friday workerswould gather at the factory to play gamesand enjoy some snacks.
They also provide transport for the work-ers who choose to stay behind and partici-pate with the club. “The club is not compul-sory as we cannot force people to stickaround after work, but we made it interest-ing enough to get many of them interested(in participating),” Daniels says.
. Three suspects appeared in the Wyn-bergMagistrate’s Court onTuesday 25 Junein connection with Hollenburg’s murder.

SOCCER PLAN: TAPPING INTO LOCAL TALENT
Growing a community through sportTAURIQ HASSEN
ARetreat man wakes up every daywith one thing on his mind and thatis to play his part in children’s
sports development within the communi-ty.Ashlynne Hendrickse (23) started the
Growing in Sport initiative in April andtargets primary schools in Cape Town.The project focuses on the foundation
of development of sports among children.“Growing up, I always believed that I
was going tomakeadifference in the livesof many people. I always believed that,through my knowledge, understandingand great passion of working with chil-dren in sport, I could make a differencesomehow,” saysHendrickse, theCEOandfounder of Growing in Sport.Schools are able to hire Growing in
Sport coaches to coach at their schools atan affordable rate.The project also looks to focus on giving
back to schools that are in much tighterfinancial situations, but are looking tohave sports development at school level.It also caters for sports birthday parties,corporate sports events, holiday clinicsand sports events.“I grew a strong desire to develop chil-
dren in their sports throughout the West-ernCape and also empower young and ex-perienced sports coaches with a small in-come,” Hendrickse says.“I alsowant to bringprofessional sports
coaching at an affordable rate within thecommunities of Western Cape.”Growing in Sport recently wrapped up
a successful holiday soccer clinic at theAshford Soccer Club in Heathfield atwhich former Nashua Cape Cobras headcoach Shukri Conrad also participated.The clinic saw children between the ag-
es of five to 14 years being mentored bycoaches and receiving certificates andprizes on Friday.The Growing in Sport initiative was
launched at Westcott Primary School inDiep River.
“Since we ran our first launch clinic atthe school, to date, the clinics have onlygrown stronger and faster. We also runFriday afternoon sports clinics on re-quest from various schools as well as byprivate request,” he says.Micah Fortuin (9) from Plumstead is
one of the children currently benefitingfrom the project.His favourite club is Manchester Unit-
ed and Micah hopes to be the next RobinvanPersie. “I am learning a lot about foot-ball. I used to struggle with controllingthe ball, but now I am looking forward tothe gamebecause I have somenewskills,”the u/10 Ashford Football Club playerslaughs.
Shaun Musungate (11) from Heathfieldbelieves he can follow in the same foot-steps ashis favourite player, LionelMessifrom the Catalan giants Barcelona.During training, the Ashford striker fo-
cused on improving his dribbling tech-niques.“In my games on a Saturday I will try
to do exactly as I was taught in training.I love dribbling and I want to become bet-ter at it,” he says.“This training has definitely helpedme

PARK OFF LIMITS: YOUTHS UNSOCIABLE
Locals fume over public drinkingTAURIQ HASSEN
Youths drinking at a Lotus River recrea-tional park is creating a hurdle for chil-dren wanting to play.
The youths are said to be drinking meremetres from the park entrance, on the cor-ner of Zeekoe Road and 9th Avenue.And distressed parents say the drinking
is resulting in unsociable behaviour.One mother, who wants to be known as
Joan, explains that children now fear goingto the park because of this illegal activitynear the park.“They are scared towalk past these young-
sters who sit there all day drinking and car-rying on with each other. They are not al-lowed to be drinking in public, so I cannotunderstand why nothing is being done,” shesays.Joan says Grassy Park police do not act
when spotting the youngsters.
David Schreuder, an angry parent whohas confronted the group on a number of oc-casions, says they are “too stubborn andrude” to listen to any of the concerns he hashad.“They are drinking on that corner and I
suspect they might also be smoking dagga.Our children are in the park and they haveto be exposed to this each day,” he says.“It isn’t right and they must be exposed.
Hopefully other parents can read this andwarn their children about hanging out atthat corner.”Schreuder has reported the matter to the
police, but is adamant that if the activitiescontinue, action should be taken.“I am not only concerned about my chil-
dren, but there are others who use thatspace. It is a public space and I am hopingthey (the youths) realisewhat they are doingis wrong.”During the interview, there were no
youths drinking at the site. However, anempty beer bottle had been found at the site.Phillip Bam, chairperson of the Lotus Riv-
er, Ottery and Grassy Park Ratepayers’ As-sociation (Logra), says the issue of publicdrinking reaches beyond the park.“The problem is not only confined to this
area. There are a whole host of youngsterswandering the streets aimlessly getting upto all sorts of untoward things,” he says.Bam says drugs is a plague and urges the
police to refocus their efforts.
“Plenty of youngsters are sucked into thedrug world, but police need to start makinga difference. They are arresting more of thebuyers rather than the sellers.”He says Logra will be keeping a close eye
on convictions, adding: “We pay lots of mon-ey to buy properties in the area and the peo-ple don’t deserve to be living in these typesof conditions.”Grassy Park Police Station acting spokes-
person Captain Ish Smith urges the commu-nity to get involved with police, the Commu-nity Police Forum and other crime-fightingorganisations. “When police do receive com-plaints, we act immediately,” he says.He says a person found smoking dagga fac-
es jail time. Depending on the circumstanc-es, anyone who is caught drinking can befined.V Report public drinking and any other crimes to theGrassy Park Police Station on (021) 700 3900,(021) 700 3903/2 or (021) 700 3922.

ECO-FRIENDLY: PROTEST IN SONG
Rapping to save the PrincessTAURIQ HASSEN
Alocal artist hopes his tunes can driveaway proposed plans to build a shop-ping centre at the Princess Vlei her-
itage site.Emile Jansen, aka Emile YX?, from
Grassy Park teamed up with the groupMixed Mense which comprises of youthsfrom Lavender Hill.Eight years ago, Jansen started work-
ing with the children through anotherproject called Heal the Hood.“The world must know about local gov-
ernment’s horrible intention to build ashopping mall on the edge of the wetland,just when the world is about to be facedwith the biggest water shortage yet,”Jansen says.The song Save Princess Vlei – No Mall
has already been a major hit across CapeTown drawing people to the Facebookpage and links of the proposed plans.He explains that legend has it the vlei
was named for a Khoi princess who wasabducted and raped by the Portugueseand taken into a cave at Elephant’s Eye,which is situated in the mountains abovethe Cape Flats (at Silvermine).“It is said she cried so much that her
tears formed the wetlands of the area,”Jansen says.The proposed development by Insight
Property Developers is expected to com-prise a 9090m2 shoppingmall and a 100m2taxi rank, leaving only a 30m buffer stripfrom the vlei’s shore for recreational pur-poses.It has been ahard-fought battle between
the owners of the land, the City of CapeTown, provincial Department of Environ-mental Affairs and Development Plan-ning and opposing parties since the reve-lation of the plansmore than 15 years ago.The first of its kind in a chain of wet-
lands running throughGrassyPark,Prin-cess Vlei is relatively small.“Wecannot allow themtowin,” says the
determined hip hop superstar.Jansen, originally of Black Noise fame,
has been in the hip hop genre for morethan 30 years.“This is a learning process I am taking
these youths through in a way of healingtheir heads about themselves,” he says.
Phillip Bam,Grassy Parkresident andfounder mem-ber of the Prin-cess Vlei Forum(PVF), explainsthat the forumwas establishedto spearhead thefight against themall.They also
helped formu-late the vision ofthe vlei as a “liv-ing asset forpresent and fu-ture genera-tions.The forum
might now haveto raiseR1.5m tofight provincialgovernment tostop the devel-opment.“The vlei is
more than thewater; the vlei ismore than the vegetationaround it. The vlei has a soul. It gives ex-pression to our souls and to what we be-lieve in,” he says.Bam praised the work Jansen and oth-
ers have been doing to save the vlei.“We are very grateful for people like
Emile for using their expertise to raiseawareness of the value of the vlei,” hesays.“Their contribution is really valuable
towards the cause.”The Princess Vlei debacle has attracted
much attention with numerous petitioncampaigns, protests and events to raiseawareness held in a valiant effort to savethe environmental space.A proposal for a community-driven de-
sign process to re-imagine the space atPrincess Vlei also made the shortlist forinclusion in the World Design Capital(WDC) 2014 Official Programme.The proposal, called Imagine Princess
Vlei, will look to transform the vlei intoan urban nature park that will buildbridges between past, present and future
identities.The WDC 2014 programme manager
Jenni Kruger says the team of curators,led by Paul Duncan, was completely en-grossed throughout the submission proc-ess, ensuring that all projects got the at-tention they deserved.“With the guidance and support of the
WDC 2014 International Advisory Coun-cil, we identified projects that will fit inwith the requirements of the 2014 pro-gramme,” Kruger says.“We are looking forward to the second
round of submissions and we’re lookingfor gold.”The second call for submissions, which
opened on Monday 1 July, will run untilWednesday 31 July.Jansen will be celebrating his 45th

It has become a familiar and accepted sight, onewhich pass-es with nary significance every Tuesday before the dreadedfuel price hike kicks in.That’s when drivers line up bumper-to-bumper at petrol
stations to fill up ahead of the petrol price hike the firstWednesday of that month.The media has ad nauseum given tips on how to beat the
fuel price hikes. Drivers are encouraged to take publictransport, from trains and taxis to Rikkis, car pooling andeven cycling or walking.And, for those resilient driverswhohave been able to con-
tinue using their cars to work, here’s fair warning: there’sanother fuel price hike on the cards for next month. It’s aleap andyoumaywellwant to investigatehowyoucan insti-tute some of those tips.The next increase due onWednesday 7 August is reported
to be 61c. And it will hit your pocket hard as it erodes yourdisposable income. With the petrol price after this month’salready steep 84c increase standing at R12.86, the new pricehike will bring the cost of a litre of petrol to R13.47. The de-partment of energy attributes the fuel increase to the weakrand and international crude oil prices.Even so, South Africa is reportedly in a middle ground
when it comes to fuel cost extremes.Using the exchange rate as at Thursday 20 June, when
US$1 = R10.23, one newspaper survey found that the petrolprice in South Africa was the 40th most expensive amongthe countries investigated. At the time petrol cost R13.23 alitre.Venezuela was the cheapest, at 11c a litre, while the US,
in 51st place, charged R9.51c a litre.Themost expensive country to fill upwasTurkey.Drivers
there paid R26.97 for a litre of petrol.Other European countries also exceeded the R20 a litre
bracket. Drivers here may argue that the incomes of thisdeveloping nation do not compare favourably with those ofEuropean countries.Brace yourselves.
Bakkie theft can’t halt good workI amwriting to youhoping thatmy storywillreach hearts. This is a post I placed on Face-book and the response was overwhelming.“On Sunday Uncle Keith and Aunty Tina’s
bakkie, which was their transport to fulfillGods work by going out to feed the needy ofour community, was stolen.Thismorning they opened their home as the
community of Freedom Park came to theirhome so that they can still get their soup andbread. Yes, a true work of God. “Crippled” bythe theft of transport will not stop God’s workfrom being done. God Bless you, Uncle Keith,Aunty Tina, Kitta and Anna for still goingforward”.This led to me writing to you. Some of you
may know Keith Blake, a retired police cap-tain that gave his heart to the Lord and insoworks inGod’s light to stand for and “pro-tect and serve” the people less fortunate inour community, Ottery, when they havenothing or nobody to be there for them.
Blake experienced on Sunday a setbackthat shocked him and our community whenhis Isuzu bakkiewas stolen in our road rightin front of his eldest son’s home between16:00 and 16:30, but this did not deter him.With his weekly soup kitchens and ran-
dom visits to the informal settlements, espe-ciallywhenhehas been blessedwith veggiesor clothing to hand out to the folk of thesesettlements, I thought how would he go outand feed the people. But he opened his hometo the people of Freedom Park and invitedthem to his home so that they can still gettheir cup of soup and bread. This alonestands as testimony to God. “Crippled” bytheft of his vehicle did not stop the work ofGod andBlake (akaKaptein), throughhis di-versity and in service to the people of ourcommunity.I hope and trust this (letter) will touch you
as this gesture has touched me.Colleen Langenhoven, Ottery

Phumlani Village hall needs attentionLet me take this opportunity to thank allthose who made it possible by making surethat children got equipment to play. Let methank the New Chapter Foundation, univer-sity students and my fellow leaders.The councillor (Shaun August) promised
since last year to adopt Phumlani Hall andbring a fence and paint. Inside, the roof isleaking and windows are broken.To this day we are still waiting for him to
keep his promise. The grass inside and out-side the hall where the equipment is locatedis so high and outside it is like a bush wheresnakes and criminals can hide.Clearly the place is not safe. It is unaccept-
able that the councillor and theCity relegateall their responsibilities to non-profit organ-isations.
I’m calling on the City to come forwardand show us what they mean when they say“the City works for you”.Eric Balebanye, Phumlani VillageWard councillor Shaun August com-ments: I would like to get this matterstraight. Thishall doesnot belong to theCityof Cape Town. It is a community hall man-aged by the community. The hall is current-ly occupied by various NGOs and churches.I have assisted many times with the cuttingof the grass and handing out of food at thiscentre.I have never promised a fence because it
does not belong to the City, but I will agreethatwe are planning to repaint the hall frommy own funds and looking for partnershipssuch as the Scouts to assist us.
Hard work willeventually pay offI have sympathy with the people in EstherRoad.I had the same problem with an illegal
workshop. Christoff Jacobs from the SouthPeninsula Municipality dealt with my case.The person appeared in court and receiveda suspended sentence and instructed to seizeoperations.It took two years, but it paid off in the end.Warren October, Lotus River

Your SMSes. On Monday 1 July a truck pulled up onthe field between Avocet and Buck roadsand dumped rubble and drove off. This isnot a dumping site as houses are situatednext to and opposite the field. Whatbothers me is that vagrants scratchthrough this rubble and other mess alsodumped there. On Thursdays, dirt day,people empty stolen bins and wander offto sell. What or how does one get thisproblem solved when there is a bushgrowing and no attempt is made to haveit cut? Frustrated resident
. In Schaapkraal we have the sameproblem. People get fined, but still do it. Ithink the Metro Police must use theGhost Squad and follow trucks andbakkies. The guys who dump tyres arealso causing problems. Jackie
. It is heartbreaking to read thesestories, as these people are our “lostgeneration”. I believe only early interven-tion and compassion, together with astrong support system, can overcome thisscourge. Unfortunately so many addictsare already too far gone (and) lose thatvital family support.I’m not even sure if more and cheaper
rehabs will help while tik is freelyavailable on every corner. A very sadreader and concerned citizen
. Bring back chain gangs to clean allareas – roads, pavements, beaches,bridges and everything that needs repair,even house building. Hard work willrestore dignity, reduce crime in jail andintroduce studies at night. Take awayTV. Yasmin

110 years and still growingLIAM MOSES
Nearly 110 years after being formed un-der a tree in Wynberg’s Broad Road,the Cape District Local Football Asso-
ciation’s (CDLFA) oldest team is still goingstrong.SpenstonAFChas gone throughhighs and
lows, victories and defeats, championshipsand relegations in its history but still has athriving membership and player base.David Vermaak (56), the club’s former
president and a member for the past 46years, says the clubhas survived everypolit-ical system in South Africa.“It’s significant that the club is 110, be-
cause it was there before apartheid, duringapartheid when everyone was movedaround and now we are still here,” he says.“Spenston was a Wynberg-based club and
it stood the test of time and it’s still goingstrong. It was strong leadership that keptthis club going. George Cloete was presidentof this club for over 50 years. Under his lead-ership we won the Maggot Trophy threetimes and produced two South African play-ers.”The club’s name and emblem come direct-
ly from the day of its foundation, with theclub crest still showing the tree underwhichthe clubwas formed and the club’s name tak-en from the name of the house opposite the
tree.Vermaak broke a family tradition when
he decided to join Spenston in 1967. Insteadof joining Yorkshire AFC as his relativeshad, he left the decision up to chance and de-cided to join whichever side won the nextderby match.Vermaak went on to break into the Spen-
ston first team at the tender age of 16 andhe turned downan offer to play professional-ly for Cape Town United a year later.His loyaltywas eventually repaidwhenhe
started his own mechanical workshop andsucceeded thanks to the support of the club’smembers years later.“This club has really been a family over
the years. No one really leaves the club oncethey join. It doesn’t matter what club theyleave for, they always come back,” says Ver-maak.“Once you join Spenston you are always
Spenston. Playing soccer for Spenston gaveme great pleasure. This club built my fami-ly.”SpenstonAmateur Football Clubwill cele-
brate its 110th anniversary with over 100players on its books, teams in every agegroup and its family spirit still intact.The club aims to celebrate its 110th year
in existencewith a special kit and a gala din-ner to be hosted in October.

After hours of gruelling training ses-sions and six pressurised qualifyingmatches, 16 football teamswill reap the
rewards when they play in the finals of the10th annual Engen Knockout Challenge.The Challenge will pit Cape Town’s best
under-17 footballers against each other in abattle for the prize money, bragging rightsand possibly the chance at a professional ca-reer.People’s Post is the tournament’s printme-
dia sponsor.Many of South Africa’s most celebrated
professional footballers first made a namefor themselves or were scouted at the EngenKnockout.Edries Burton, chief operations manager
at host club Santos FC, urged the currentcrop of players to make the most of their op-portunity and emulate the Engen Knock-out’s most famous products.“As a former player, my challenge to the
young players is that there is an opportunityhere. If you look at Thulani Serero – this iswhere it started for him and look where it’sgoing,” he says.“The stars are the limit for these young
players. Who knows where they can end up?They are young and have the world at theirfeet. They can make a decision to finish fur-ther than Thulani Serero; it’s entirely up tothem.”Over 100 teams started the qualifying
process at the beginning of June and onThursday the 13 teams whomade it throughwere divided into groups along with auto-matic qualifiers Ajax Cape Town, ChippaUnited and Santos FC.Group A contains Pinelands club Old Mu-
tual Academy, Mitchell’s Plain’s KenparkUnited, Green Point Salesians and IslandRoversIn Group B defending champions Ajax
Cape Town, National First Division (NFD)side Vasco da Gama, Cape United and KuilsRiver United will vie for the top two spotsof the group.Engen Santos, Hanover Park FC, Kraai-
fonteinCity andGrassyPark sideCrusadershave been drawn in Group C, while GroupD will pit the NFD’s Chippa United, BishopLavis FC, Atlantic Nacional and Clare-mont’s ASD Academy against each other.In past years the tournament was hosted
at the Stephen Reagan Sports Complex in
Westridge, Mitchell’s Plain, but the 2013tournament will be played at William Her-bert Sports Grounds, home of the Cape Dis-trict Local Football Association (CDLFA), inWynberg.Winston Engledoe, president of the CDL-
FA, says the new venue gives participantsa whole new list of stars to look up to.“Since unity we have a produced a few in-
ternational players, namely Mark Wiliams,
Gerald Stober, Roger Links and Benni Mc-Carthy,” he says.“CDLFA and theWilliamHerbertMunici-
pal Field Management Committee wish youall the best for another great and successfultournament.”Engenmarketing manager Brad Bergh al-
so announced that, as part of the 10th anni-versary celebrations, one of the players willbe selected to join the Engen High Perform-
ance Programme at the High PerformanceCentre in Pretoria.The tournament will also have a charity
