Muizenberg Police spokesperson Captain Stephen Knapp says there have been reports of drug abuse in the park. “Muizenberg police do not receive many complaints, but we do however on a regular basis conduct searches of persons loitering in the park. Recently two suspects were ar- rested for being in possession of narcotics and a third suspect, a juvenile, was found to be in possession of cannabis,” he says.

Partners weavingfor a better futureNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
The Cape Town Society for the Blind (CTSB)is joining forces with local government toinvigorate the niche skills of cane and mate-rial weavers.
The joint initiative by the CTSB and theCity of Cape Town to introduce an incentivescheme for blind cane and other materialweavers has seen a dramatic increase inproductivity.
This is set to benefit the weavers and sat-isfy local retailers and the tourist clientele,says Melanie Daniels, fund-raising profes-sional of the CTSB.
“The City has partnered with CTSB aspart of an Expanded Public Works Pro-gramme (EPWP) investing in enterprise de-velopment for the next three months,” saysDaniels
There are 50 cane and other materialweavers employed at the CTSB premises inSalt River.
“It is a superb scheme which acts as anincentive to increase productivity, and wehave already seen a 30% upswing,” says Liz-elle van Wyk, chief executive officer of theCTSB.
“The cane and other material weaving isproduced by visually impaired craftsmenand have gained international recognitionfor the past 86 years. They are available atlocal retailer outlets and also at the organicfood market in the Victoria and Alfred Wa-terfront. The finished products of the smallbusiness units are marketed by CTSB andsold to the public, and immediately theyreap the benefit.
The weaving project was chosen to suita number of blind and visually impaired in-dividuals who operate their small business-es from CTSB premises, Daniels says.
“We provide them with the infrastructureand the raw materials. Each team memberhas between five and 10 years experience inweaving, which lends expert support to therespective projects. CTSB prides itself onthe fact that our weavers are specialists intheir respective fields,” says Daniels.
A weaver’s nest in the Company’s Gardenconstructed by the CTSB entrepreneurs hasalso caught the eye at the Chelsea flowershow, she says.
“We have many projects. One that standsout is the nests that we produce regularly.These nests can be seen in the CompanyGardens and various restaurants. PorkyHeffer is a designer and specifically con-tracted CTSB to produce this special prod-uct based on our expertise and attention todetail.”
CTSB also runs a project that concen-trates on other material weaving, Danielssays.
“These amazing professionals work onmaterial weaving looms and every one ofour items are designed and handmade local-ly. All our products are available in ourshowroom at CTSB premises in Salt River,”Daniels says.
“The project has improved the livelihoodof each small business unit while at thesame time inspiring and encouraging them.
“Their passion and interest has onceagain been revived. At CTSB we are in fullsupport of the EPWP project. Everyonereaps the benefits – once again underliningthe fact that when one gives, more is re-ceived. We hope that the City will continueto fund this project for as long as possible,keeping our people in a better financial po-sition and also encouraging them to contin-ue with their passion,” she says.V Visit www.ctsb.co.za or call 021 448 4302 for moreinformation.
A partnership between the City of Cape Town and the Cape Town Society for the Blind is setto improve the lives of the 50 cane and other material weavers employed at the CTSBpremises in Salt River.

RyanMorris’ ringing phone interrupts hismeeting, but even before he answers, he
knows it’s someone phoning to report a sus-picious person or activity.Its par for the course as last year’s volun-
teer Auxiliary Law Enforcement officer ofthe year.Morris, a member of TBK Watch in Tam-
boerskloof, joined the reservist team thatsupplements the City of Cape Town’s law en-forcement officers in 2013.The City of Cape Town’s Auxiliary Law
Enforcement Service, a first in SouthAfrica,allows for members of the public to registeras volunteers to perform and assist with lawenforcement duties. The officers receivetraining at the Metro Police College in theCriminal Procedure Act and other compo-nents applicable to their duties.The Auxiliary Law Enforcement officers
deal with a range of incidents, Morris says,tackling everything from vagrancy, theft,car break-ins and responding to calls fromthe neighbourhood watch and police.Theyhave the power to arrest, to carry out
stop and searches, as well as confiscate sto-len goods or goods being traded without apermit.Although the main focus is on enforcing
bylaws, the officers are also obligated to dealwith any serious offence, including theft andpublic fighting.“We’ve caught someone starting a fire on
the mountain before and intervened. We’vearrested guys fighting. I’ve come across anaccidentwhere one of the driverswas drunkand behaving riotously and arrested him forbeing drunk and disorderly,” he says.Often law enforcement and social issues
go hand-in-hand, Morris says, and some-times it is the best option to take a softer ap-proach.For instance, Morris has worked on inci-
dents where homeless people have been as-sisted into shelters and work programmesinstead of being arrested. “If I can justifiablyprevent an arrest, I will. Sometimes it’s bet-ter to bring the family in than to arrest some-one,” he says. “There is more pleasure inhelping them than in arresting them.”
Morris works full-time as an intermediateparamedic, while completing an average of16 hours of volunteer Law Enforcementwork a month.He always takes his medical equipment
with him on patrol, and has provided firstresponder care while waiting for an ambu-lance in cases of stabbing and car crashes.When questioned about the number of
hours he puts in between his full-time posi-tion and his Law Enforcement patrols, Mor-ris shrugs it off.“I don’t like sitting around doing nothing.
I got it frommymom. She’s always been onefor working.”Morris’ childhood shaped not only his
work ethic, but also his love for crime fight-ing.“We used to belong to the ‘Cape Town
Crime Club’ – we often had break-ins andcrime incidents. The police knew my par-ents by name. Because Iwas affected, I want-ed to do something. I remember how one dayone of the cops gaveme a docket and toldmeto ‘practice on it for now’,” he says.His ‘crime fighting career’ started when
he was 13, when he would join “local securi-ty guys” on patrol on his bicycle. The neigh-bourhoodwatchwas formedwhenhewas 16,and at 18 he had joined as a member.“The community needs to help the police.
If you don’t report crimes, they won’t knowabout them. You must get involved. If youdon’t want to help yourself, you really can’tcomplain about things,” he says.As all the auxiliary officers are members
of their local neighbourhood watches, theposition allows them to use their policingpowers to better protect their communities.“The extra powers allow you to deal with
things yourself. It gives you the ability to po-lice your own street,” he says.V Applicants who wish to join the volunteer servicemust be over 18, mentally and physically fit, have nocriminal record and must have a valid driver’s licence.If they comply with the above, candidates can applyvia their neighbourhood watch, who will submit appli-cations to the City’s Law Enforcement Department.Once applications are verified, applicants are invitedto a preliminary diagnostic assessment which theyhave to successfully complete in order to progress tothe next phase.

PENNED BY A JOURNO
All dressed up,nowhere to goSAMANTHA LEE
“All dressed up and nowhere to go” – acommon phrase that many of us mayhave heard at least once or twicethroughout our lives.
A phrase that got me thinking aboutdisappointment.
Why? You may ask with an elementof confusion.
Well it started with a few new outfits,gorgeous shoes and two tickets to a tripanticipated for more than a year.
You get all dressed up, you get excitedand then, boom your plans get can-celled. Then you sit: All dressed up withnowhere to go.
But on that note, where did thisphrase come from and why is it so loose-ly used?
My grandmother said something in-teresting to me once that has stuck withme ever since. She said: “Don’t wearyour best clothes in the during the weekbecause you will never look good whenyou go out.”
But who do we dress for?Ourselves? Our partners? Our
friends? or for the average joe on thestreet?
Some, like myself, dress according totheir mood. When I don’t feel like put-ting any effort in a jeans or track pantswork fine. But when I feel like puttingon a nice dress, I’m sure people look atme and think, “Why is she so dressed
up? where is she going?”.It makes me wonder why there is an
accepted notion that you are not allowedto look good no matter the occasion.
I suppose it also has to fit within dresscode confines, but even so, who set thestandard for what we should dress likeand when we are allowed to wear niceclothing?
The same goes for the words mygrandmother spoke. Those are idealsthat have been imprinted in the mind-sets of generations while growing up.
I say it is time to change that. Weshould have the freedom to dress theway we feel.
As a fashion lover, I find clothing asan expression of moods, feelings andemotion so why should you not want touse it as an outlet to show the world whoyou are.
Besides, dressing well makes you feelgood and gives you confidence.
So who are these people that don’twant us to be the best versions of our-selves.
For whatever reason you are dressedup ladies and gents, rock your look.Even if you have nowhere to go.
But if you are home and all dressedup, get up, make some plans and showthat look off. If not and you just wantto look good in front of the TV, no judge-ment.
But remember, good clothing andgood style is made to be admired.

‘We partied’til midnight’Oh behalf of my mother and myself, Iwould like to thank People’s Post for themost amazing Mother’s Day concert atGrand West on Saturday night.
I treated my mom to the concert andwe expected to be there for about twohours max. Well, that hall reverberatedfor four hours, it bounced, it rocked, itraised the roof, all while sitting in yourseat – we were in constant rockingmotion, our seats were moving all thetime.
My mom is 84-years-old and we partied’til midnight and so enjoyed the People’sPost concert. The whole night my momjust beamed, laughed with joy, clappedher hands, tapped her feet. What afantastic concert, what a responsiveaudience, what talented and beautifulSouth African women we listened to, andto top it all, the most incredible band –what a super-duper night it was. Thankyou for making our Mother’s Day outing/night so special.

Williams flies SAflag in MalaysiaQari GaariethWilliams has flown the flag
for South Africa at the International Al-Quran Recital and Memorising Assem-
bly in Kuala Lumpur last week.For more than a half century, Malaysia
has been the host of the world’s oldest AlQuran recital assembly.The 2016 event welcomed the 58th edition
of the mega event, which gathers interna-tionally renowned reciters to Kuala Lump-ur every year.Williams has won the South African Na-
tional Qirah competition in both 2005 and2008, and has also participated in interna-tional Quran competitions in both Iran andEgypt.“All praise is due to Allah, my parents,
my teachers and my family who supportsme in all my endeavours. I am honouredand excited to participate in this illustriousevent which is the oldest and biggest eventof its kind in the world,” says Williams.A prerequisite for this particular Malay-
sian competition is to apply the Quran me-lodies known as maqamaat in a 10-minute,slow-paced, rhythmic and melodious recit-al. All rules of tajweed must be adhered toand judges also look at where the reciterstops and continues within verses, so as tonot distort its meaning. The Quran portionto be recited is given to the reciter on thesame day that he/she is due to recite it inpublic. Preparation time therefore is mini-mal. “The countries who have consistentlywon this competition over the years sinceits inception are Malaysia, Indonesia,Egypt and Iran. I humbly request dua fromall, that Allah grantsme the strength to rep-resent our country to the best of my ability,Insha Allah,” adds Williams.Williams started reciting the Quran at a
very young age; having as his first Quranteacher Sheikh Ganief Moos of Wynberg.
He later graduated from Darul UloomZakariya in Johannesburg where he com-pleted his hifth under Hafith Farooq Man-soor Sahib who currently heads up theHifth School at Darul Uloom Zakariya.At the age of 16, shortly after his return
from Johannesburg, young Williams’ fa-ther, NaseemWilliams, his rolemodel, dieddue to sudden illness.Williams’ mother, who was very dear to
hisheart andalwaysmotivatedhim to learnQuran, passed away in 2013.He taught hifth and ledTaraweeh prayers
for a number of years at Surrey Estate Mas-jid under the guidance of Sheikh IrfaanAbrahams. Thereafter he studied tajweedand mastered the maqamaat guided bySheikh Ismail Londt.In 2008 he was invited to lead Taraweeh
prayers inMauritius and in Turkey in 2014.
Qari Gaarieth Williams took part in the 58thInternational AlQuran Recital and Memorizing Assembly in Kuala Lumpur last week.

Embracing newmothers, babiesNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
For many, Mother’s Day is a time for fami-ly and sharing.However, for some mothers in wards in
state hospitals and Midwife Obstetric Unitsacross Cape Town, it’s a day of loneliness.This year, Cape Town Embrace spent the
day celebrating and supporting new moth-ers, to ensure their babies have the best fu-ture possible.Aimed at achieving solidarity rather than
charity, the movement looks to spark hu-man connections across societal divideswithin the city and support vulnerable chil-dren into the first 1000 days – their most sig-nificant developmental period, explainsproject leader Julie Mentor.“For many women, giving birth and stay-
ing in hospital is a lonely time.“They are often away from their loved
ones and circles of support when the physi-cal and emotional nature of childbirth re-quires the love, care and support of familyand friends,” says Mentor.By connecting the parents and caregivers
of children in vulnerable contexts with fel-low citizens, Cape Town Embrace strives toempower both parties to maximise thechild’s development and potential together.The movement, started in December 2013,
believes that the first 1000 days of a child’slife (from conception to two) are the mostpowerful if you want to prime a child for abright future.Around 80% of the human brain is devel-
oped by age two – it’s a critical time to nur-ture the potential of children, Mentor says.“Cape Town Embrace emerged following
information thatwas released anddescribedwhat was happening to the babies born in
Cape Town,” she says.“The situation is quite devastating. Of the
approximately 75 000 babies born in CapeTown each year, about 2000 die before theyturn one; 12 000 will be permanently stunteddue to poor nutrition before they turn twoand about half of these childrenwon’t accessany formal ECD services or go on to finishschool.”The movement uses the work of AnnMas-
ten, a pioneering researcher in the predic-tors of resilience in young people exposed topoverty, homelessness and other adversi-ties.Mastenhas identified threekeypredictors
including: caring parents, another caringadult and connections to opportunities atcritical times during the child’s life.This trifecta has been coined “Ordinary
Magic” and can significantly reduce childvulnerability.“Our children are suffering because there
is not enough support. The answer will nev-er lay solely with the government or any or-ganisation. It needs to be a shift made by or-dinary citizens.“We need to show solidarity and empathy.
We believe that many of our city’s problemsare human-made and it will take caring hu-mans to fix them, one relationship at atime,” she says.Many new moms travel alone to hospital,
where they give birth and return homeagain with their babies, alone, explainsMentor.Research has shown that women who are
isolated during pregnancy, birth and in thepost-partumperiod are at a higher risk of de-veloping depression and other mentalhealth disorders, she adds.V For more information visit the Cape Town Embracewebsite at www.embrace.org.za.
Sleeping bags forhomeless big newsNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
The Cape TownLions Club is taking a dif-ferent approach to keeping street peoplewarm this winter.A service organisation, aimed at serv-
ing the youth and assisting the aged, thedisabled and the disadvantaged, hasaround 46 000 clubs and 1.35millionmem-bers around the world.The Cape Town members, along with
their sister club Groote Schuur, has beenmaking sleeping bags that were createdfrom recycled newspapers and polythenebags.The sleeping bags will be distributed to
the homeless in Cape Town in a jointproject with the Lions Club of GrooteSchuur.“This project was brought to us by the
Lions Club of Groote Schuur – as with allLion’s Clubs we are community mindedand strive to improve the lives of the un-derprivileged. Bagswill be donated to theHaven night shelter in Kensington tohand out to those who cannot be accom-modated at the premises,” says CapeTown Lion President Janine Filmer.“The bags are extremely warm. They
are also big enough to hold personal be-longings so that they do not get wet. Also,due to the design, the bags can be foldedup into a manageable size.”They are made by taping piles of folded
newspaper to each side of a large polythe-ne bag. This bag is then inserted into an-other identical bag and the top is sealed.Each sleeping bag takes approximately 20minutes to make, excluding the time ittakes to fold the newspaper, and is madeby Lions Clubmembers in the Cape Town
area.“The Lions make the bags themselves.
Each bag has a label attached to it withthe names of those who constructed it,”explains Filmer.Lions members have been collecting
the newspaper material over a period oftime; the polythene bags are donated.“In view of the fact that there are many
homeless people on the streets of CapeTown, a sleeping bag not only provideswarmth but, due to it being waterproof,will keep them dry as well,” she says.V For more information, contact the Cape TownLions Club at 021 686 4249

It has been quite a magical andheart-warming start to the sea-son for Strandfontein High with
amatch-winning performance thathad the partisan crowd on edge inthe Mr. Price Foundation HighSchools Soccer League.The growing pains of the team,
affectionately known as the “SeaRobbers”, saw them finish at thebottom of the 2015 league champi-onship.But the struggles of the past did
not impede on the progress of theStrandfontein side.The rejuvenated Strandfontein
side caused the biggest upset of theopening round by sending Cloetes-villeHigh, the defending and three-time league champions (2008, 2009and 2015) crashing to a 2-1 defeat.With an excellent opportunity to
redeem themselves under newcoach Jason Alexander, who waspart of the playing team of last sea-son’s squad, and team manager,Mano Adams, the lads in the blueand white dished up good attack-ing, scientific football thatthroughout the game pressurisedthe Stellenbosch side –much to thedelight of the very vocal and noisySea Robbers fans.However, Chris Joubert’s Cloet-
esville-side staved off early pres-sure. Scott Williams, in the no.7jersey, constantly troubled a verynervous Dean Gordon in goal.Itwas thehome side, Cloetesville
High, that minutes before half-time surged 1-0 ahead through awell execution pin-point goal, inwhich the team strung seven pass-es together, before Ian Floris land-ed it safely into the back of the net.But after the change-over the
schoolboys from StrandfonteinHigh, which still has 75% of lastseasons’ squad, started to gel andhad Cloetesville on the back foot-ball.Like a well oil machine the Sea
Robbers picked off the oppositionwith Andile Dick first scoring theequaliser (1-1). With ten minutesremaining on the clock the ever-alert and influential Scott Willi-ams unleashed a powerful snap-shoot that Dean Gordon could nothold and parried it into the back ofthe net.Floris’ match-winning goal prac-
tically sent the crowd into a joyouscelebration. Chris Joubert and hisCloetesville side will be quick toadmit they were no way near theirbest and that Alexander’s Strand-fontein side fully deserve theirmo-rale boosting 2-1 victory.Beacon Hill triumph over
Oval North
Last year’s league runners-up,Beacon Hill High, topped the logafter the opening round followingtheir 3-1 triumph against arch-ri-vals Oval North High.However, they could find the go-
ing much tougher against a stub-born and defensive RocklandsHigh side, who shared the points(1-1) with Lentegeur on Saturday.Beacon Hill was the only side to
draw home that won their gamewhile six of the other teams, whichdrew away, picked up maximumpoints.Nevertheless, Beacon Hill held a
2-1 lead at the breakwithAzola Bil-ly scoringabraceandwithCurwenBarry finding the target for OvalNorth before Keith October addedthe third for good measure to se-cure three valuable points.Mondale rise to the occasionMondale High – the 2012 and 2013
champions – showed glimpses ofthe side that wiped out all opposi-tion for two consecutive seasonsand had their long-time educatorand coach – since the introductionof the league in 2004 – Nigel Crowiesmiling from ear to ear.Though the Mondale side beat a
pluckyAloeHigh 2-0, it was a victo-ry that Riyaaz Nell must be accred-ited with since it was his two-goaltonic that led the boys in the navyblue and gold jerseys on their wayto an emphatic 2-0 win.Westridge edge out PrincetonWith the return of Ismail Gasno-
la – the coach that helped West-ridge High to win their secondleague title in 2010 after being inau-gural champs in 2004 – the schoolside in maroon and white didenough with some quality playingmethods to conquer PrincetonHigh 1-0 in a quite an evenly bal-anced encounter.Though Charles Uys’s Princeton
side, who won back-to-back leaguechampionships in 2005 and 2006,should have scored twice in thefirst half through their industriousstrikers Sayeed Mentoor and ColeHartzenberg, they always fellshort.Other results: Tafelsig High 2,
Glendale High 1; Cedar High 2,Spine Road 0; Portland High 2,Woodlands High 1; Lentegeur High1, Rocklands High 1.Upcoming fixtures to be played

Steenberg off to national playoffsA highly motivated Steenberg United
will be packing their bags for a trip tothe City of Roses to compete for promo-
tion to the National First Division (NFD).The week-long national play-offs take
place from Monday 6 to Sunday 12 June inBloemfontein.
This comes after Mike Lukukhuene’sSteenberg chargers, who seemed dead andburied after being 1-0 down, turned this ex-citing and absorbing game from the jaws ofdefeat to score twice with the decisivematch-winning goal coming in the referees’added time.
Steenberg were crowned Safa WesternCape Regional ABC Motsepe League cham-pions on thebackof this unbelievable 2-1 vic-tory against Crystal Palace at the Greens As-troturf sports complex in Manenberg on Sat-urday.
It must be acknowledged that the refereeMasixolo Bambiso from George in full viewof match commissioner and likeable WorldCup accredited FIFA referee Jerome Damonwas on the button and handled this needlein a haystack high pressure encounter bril-liantly.
The valuable three points enabled Steen-bergUnited to consolidate their top of the logposition and end the 2015/2016 season on 66points from 30 matches – one point ahead ofdefending champions Glendene United.
Last season Glendene United also won theleague championshipbyadifference of a sin-gle point, pipping new champions SteenbergUnited, who then had to be content with thebridesmaid tag.
This time round it is owner Shaffie Mow-zer’sGlendene side that had to bite the bulleteven though they too won their away game1-0 against The Magic at Royal Road in Mait-
land on Saturday.The only goal scored in the 70th minute
through Madkane Siyambonga broughtmuch relief and a flicker of hope for Glende-ne United at the time Crystal Palace werestill leading Steenberg United 1-0 in Manen-
berg.However, with all eyes focused on the
clash between Steenberg United and CrystalPalace in which the home side scoredthrough Amir Davids to hold a slender 1-0leadandheld ondesperately for dear life, but
alas Steenberg United found the equaliser inthe 84th minute with a long free kick from50m out through Isma-iel Stanfield and thenin referee’s added optional time Edmund Pe-tersen following a goalmouth melee from acorner kick scored the match winner thatsend the crowd into a frenzy of non-stop joy-ous celebration songs.
“It was an unbelievably great game andthough we came back strongly to turn thingsaround in our favour. I think we deserve towin the league this time round as we workhard all season for league cup success,” saysskipper Marawaan Bantam.
Bantam also played for Cape Town AllStars two seasons before when the All Starsteam under coach Dylan Deane won the re-gional league and promotion to the NFD.
A pretty optimistic and equally confidentupbeat Bantam feels this Steenberg squad isloaded with experience and has a blend oftop quality players that is prepared to fightto the bitter end and is a side that has beentogether for two seasons with coach MikeLukukhuene, an experienced coach who al-so led Chippa United, the Philippi-based sideto the league title and subsequently won pro-motion to the first division pro ranks.
“Therefore we are confident of holdingour own. I’m not saying it is going to be easybut we will prepare well and put up a goodfight in the play-offs to gain promotion,”Bantam concludes.The full ABC Motsepe League results:

It was a close battle in the Varsity BeachVolleyball final when the University of theWestern Cape (UWC) took on Tuks, but thehosts’ experience showedas theybeatTuks33-29 to retain the title.
Bejancka Della and Basetsane Malubanestarted for UWC and piled the pressure onUL’s Thandeka Mathebula and CarolineMalahlela.
Excellent serving by UWC’s Della ex-tended their lead to 19-2. Despite the lead,Della and Malubane scrambled brilliantly,not giving anything away and leading 24-6with two inutes to go before half time.
At the break, UWC led 31-9. With the sec-ond half underway, UWC brought on supersub Prudence Layters for Malubane. ULmanaged to reach double figures as UWCflew past the 50 mark – the final score 58-21.
In the other semi-final the University of
Cape Town (UCT) were agonisingly closeto causing a semi-final upset against a dom-inant Tuks three. Tuks trailed in the open-ing exchanges, before Margrit Springerand Thumo Neluvhalani pulled it back to7-7 after four minutes.
Tuks’ regular starting pair looked flus-teredasUCT’sMichelleBarboureandHan-nah Fox made them move around the courtmore than they’ve had to do in the tourna-ment. It remained tight at 11-11 with threeand a half minutes to go. UCT soon led andTuks took their time out with three min-utes to go, the scores at 14-11. The UCT pairkept their foot on the throat of Tuks, enter-ing half time 21-14 up. Tuks walked out on-to the court a changed team, with Jaime-Lee Wentzel on for Neluvhalani.
A brilliant save and lob by Wentzelpulled it back to 21-18. Before UCT could
score a single point, it was tied up at 21-21.This forced UCT to take their time out. Therest of the match was a dead even contestas the lead changed hands every fewpoints. It was 24-24 with six minutes toplay. The wind was picking up and UCTmade the most of it, pulling ahead again,27-25. But Tuks clawed back ahead, 28-27,with four minutes remaining. A crucial er-ror was made by Michelle Barboure, mis-hitting the ball when UCT trailed 31-33, andit cost them dearly. The score ended 35-33to Tuks.
A brilliant rally kicked off proceedingsas UWC drew first blood against Tuks inthe final. UWChad settled onBejanckaDel-la and Prudence Layters as a starting pair.
The scores changed a number of times inthe first half, with UWC the first to take atwo-point lead, 6-4, after threeminutes.The
lead switched hands again, but UWC led 16-12 with a minute to play in the first half.
At half time it was 18-15. The second halfstarted with a bang. An incredible save byUWC’s star, Della, and they led 20-15 aftertwo minutes. Tuks were fighting to stay init and trailed by just three points, 22-19,with seven minutes to play. Time out wascalled by UWC at 23-22 with just under sixminutes remaining. When teams wereback on the court, Tuks made costly errors.
UWC extended their lead to 29-24 and apoint later Tuks claimed time out with justtwo and a half minutes left and scores at30-24. Basetsane Malubane came on forLayters with two minutes left on the clock.That slowed momentum for the hosts andTuks pulled it back to 30-27.
But Della’s class pulled UWC over thefinish line. UWC won 33-29.
UWC win their fourth consecutive beach volleyball title
