Last week councillor Rose Rau handed over six wheelchairs to the Bonteheuwel Disabled Group where five of their members were in need of the wheelchairs. The wheelchairs are valued at R2 000 each and were a donation through the office of City of Cape Town mayor, Patricia de Lille. “These wheelchairs will make a huge dif- ference in the lives of the recipients and their families,” she says. “The wheelchairs will give them freedom to access all parts of their community and surroundings.” Rau says the biggest problem is that many people do not understand how to assist some- one with a disability and what is required to make their lives a little bit easier. “We need to start educating people and with the Bonteheuwel Disabled Group we can do just that. The group is open to anyone with a disability – even for parents who want to learn more about how to care for their children or parents,” she says. Rau says people must realise that life is not fair and it dishes out many challenges, but it is up to the individual to take a stand to better their life. “Here we have a group of people living with a disability, yet they do not seem miser- able at all, because they are encouraged by their community and this organisation. “We hope to see more people join this orga- nisation that helps people with disabilities acquire other skills to help make them focus on what they can do, instead of what their challenges are,” she says.

David Pillay, project co-ordinator of Bonte-heuwel Disabled Group, says the wheel-chairs will make aworld of difference to therecipients as they have been struggling toget around.“We usually have to pick them up and
move them from chair to chair and with thewheelchairs they are now able to help them-selves,” he says, adding the donation hasgiven the recipients a boost of confidence asthey feel more comfortable and less depend-ent on those around them.“Now when we have outdoor activities
they too can join us and not feel like theyarenotpart of this group.Wehope thatmorewheelchairs can be donated to those withdisabilities – not only in our community,but all over the city as it really makes lifesomuch easier for themand their families,”Pillay urges.
Through the donation of wheelchairs six people living withdisabilities in Bonteheuwel nowhave the freedom to accessvarious parts of their community.The donation was made possiblethrough a donation from mayorPatricia de Lille.

The 190thWi-Fi hotspot was unveiled attheElsiesRiverClinic lastweekwhichwill provide cost-effective and high-
speed internet for entrepreneurs to start uptheir businesses.The City of Cape Town’s Mayco commit-
teemember for corporate services and com-pliance, councillor Xanthea Limberg, saysthe roll-out of free Wi-Fi is aligned with theNational Development Plan objectives toprovide seamless information infrastruc-ture that will underpin a dynamic and con-nected vibrant information society, and aknowledge economy that is more inclusive,equitable and prosperous.“We are in the process of infrastructure
upgrades at a number of our clinics and Iam pleased that they have been included inthe digital inclusion project for free Wi-Fi,”she says.Limberg says the City’s health facilities
attract a large number of residents dailyand the free Wi-Fi will be a welcome optionfor them to keep occupied while waiting,while the availability of this secondary ser-vice will help to ensure residents have amore pleasant experience at the facilities.“The new Wi-Fi zone provision has been
made possible by the City’s investment inbroadband fibre-optic infrastructure, aspart of our Universal Broadband NetworkStrategy which is geared towards rolling
out broadband infrastructure throughoutthe city,” she says. Limberg says this publicWi-Fi provision is a prime example of howthe private sector, government and the pub-lic can make progress possible, together,’“The roll-out of the wireless network
seeks to bridge the digital divide, in linewith the City’s vision to become the leadingdigital city in Africa,” she says, adding thatdigital access has often previously been outof reach for a number of communities.“A lack of internet access can mean
missed opportunities and prevent manypeople from achieving their dreams. OurWi-Fi roll-out seeks to address this,” Lim-berg adds.

The Joint Peace Forumcalled together or-ganisations in Bonteheuwel to discusshow the community can collectively takecharge and deal with ongoing violence.This follows several shooting incidents
over Human Rights weekend.Judith Kennedy, chairperson of the
Joint Peace Forum, says the meeting sawBonteheuwel churches, mosques, severalorganisations as well as interested par-ties from Elsies River and Lotus Rivercome together.“We concluded that government has no
political will to remedy the lasting legacyof the previous government system,which is shameful and indicative of theirscant regard for the conditions underwhich our people on the Cape Flats con-tinue to exist,” Kennedy says.She says residents feel strongly that
government has failed the communitieson the Cape Flats and that no plan existsto tackle the ongoing issues.“The community needs to take charge
and hold responsible agencies to accountfor their failure to do what is required toensure communities are kept safe andhave recourse to sufficiently resource thepolice and other services,” Kennedy says.In an effort to tackle the scourge of
crime in the community, the organisationplanned a motorcade which was held lastweek.“We raised the white flag for peace to
be returned and all residents were re-quested to hoist their white flags again toshow their support and desire for peacein Bonteheu-wel,” she says.The also held an interfaith, open-air
candle-light vigil to pray for peace and
unity in Bonteheuwel.“We alsowant to encourage residents to
support initiatives in the community tobring together residents in the specifictroubled areas, to encourage people to in-form police about perpetrators.”This week the organisation will engage
with the relevant authorities which in-clude the City of Cape Town, provincialgovernment, police, Metro Police andLawEnforcement, departments of justice,
health, education and others to discusswhat they will bring to Bonteheuwel toimmediately assist and alleviate thescourge of gangsterism and drugs.“Residents are encouraged to use the
crime tip-off lines and thenumbers arebe-ing distributed and popularised. Parents,friends and neighbours are called upon totake responsibility; to take charge.Wearefighting for our very lives,” Kennedyadds.
Bonteheuwel takes tough stand
Pastor Lesley Lambert from Assembly of God and pastor Abie Clayton were among thosewho supported the Joint Peace Forum at the vigil.

Through disruptive and integratedintelligence driven operations theBlue Downs Police Cluster made
about 373 arrests in the last week.Acting commander of the cluster, Brig-
adier Hendrik Jansen, commended policeofficers and other law enforcement agen-cies for the diligent.
Jansen says as a result of these opera-tions two firearms and 160 rounds of am-munition of different calibres wereseized.
“I would like to thank the public fortheir trust in the police by giving infor-mation on illegal firearms and ammuni-tion. This led to the removal of firearmswhich are used to commit serious crime,”Jansen says.
Police also confiscated alcohol, man-drax tablets with an estimated street val-ue of R20 000, tik and dagga with an esti-mated value of R10 000.
Jansen says the past week they also ar-rested 44 people for drunken driving.
“Drivers are warned that a zero toler-ance approach will be followed to stop thecarnage on our roads and prevent drunk-en and reckless driving,” he says.
Other charges include murder, at-tempted murder, common assault, as-sault with the intention to cause grievous
bodily harm, possession of dangerousweapons, housebreaking and theft, pos-session of unlicensed firearms and rape.
Jansen warned the public to be extravigilant when withdrawing large sums ofmoney as there was an increase in rob-beries over the past week.
“The modus operandi is to see who iswithdrawing large sums of money in thebank. These people are then followed andlater robbed of their hard earned moneyat gunpoint,” he warns.
Meanwhile Warrant Officer Brian Dan-iels, spokesperson of Delft Police Station,says on Wednesday 23 March at about16:00 the cluster reaction team followedup on information from the public of ille-gal dealing in drugs in the Delft area.
“Armed with a search warrant the offi-cers searched houses in Wilger and Monostreets in Leiden. They found 377 parcelsof dagga hidden in plastic containers witha total weight of 68,70kg,” Daniels says.
“We arrested four men between theages of 19 and 32 years and a woman aged20 who are all facing charges of illegal pos-session of ammunition as well as illegaldealing in dagga,” he says.
Jansen commended neighbourhoodwatches and reservists for their dedica-tion and commitment in ensuring the per-petrators of crime are brought to justice.
“I want to further encourage the com-munity to assist the police,” he says.
Massive success forBlue Downs cluster

In an effort to deter learners from carryingweapons or using illegal substances atschool, Elsies River police regularly visitschools to conduct search operations.
Sergeant EsmereldaPheiffer, spokesperson forElsies River police, saysthese search operationsform part of the provincialeducation department’sSafe Schools campaign.
Pheiffer says the searcheshave yielded good results asthey have confiscated anumber of illegal substan-ces and weapons from chil-dren.
“We have found that theyounger children, those be-tween the ages of 13 and 16,are in possession of illegalitems while on the schoolpremises. We confiscate theitems and the child or chil-dren then have to gothrough a programme tohelp them deal with their is-sues,” she says.
Pheiffer says the searchesare not only based on whorequests for the operation tobe conducted at a specific school, but also atrandom to ensure no one has time to hidetheir illegal substances or not attend schoolon that day.
“This is part of our monthly operations ascrime, especially gangsterism, is rife in ourcommunity and children are easily lured in-
to gangs. We do not only search the learners,but we also educate them and give them ad-vice and ensure that they know they cancome to us for help,” she says.
Recently officers conducted a search for il-legal substances and weapons at a highschool in the community where teachers
and the principal are expe-riencing difficulty disci-plining the learners.
“It is not all the childrenwho are causing trouble atthe school or who are in-volved in illegal activities,but to ensure that the disci-pline issues do not spill overand get out of control, westep in to give more of awarning to the learners thatwe are aware of their behav-iour and will be monitoringit closely,” says Pheiffer.
During the search at aparticular high school, offi-cers confiscated cigarettes,knives and dagga fromlearners in Grade 8 and 9. AGrade 9 girl was arrested forbeing in possession of daggaand allegedly dealing atschool.
“This is extremely con-cerning to us, but we willcontinue to carry out these
operations to deter more learners from get-ting involved in illegal activities which real-ly damage their lives and that of their fami-lies. We also urge parents to be more activein their children’s lives, which could dis-courage them from going down the wrongpath,” Pheiffer urges.
Schools regularly searched

Anew business census has revealed in-teresting insights into the ongoingsalong the Voortrekker Road Corri-
dor.Conducted by the City of Cape Town’s
economic development department, thecensus seeks to provide prospective inves-tors with all they need to know about vari-ous industrial hubs around the city.Speaking toTygerBurger last week, May-
comember for tourism, events and econom-ic development, Garreth Bloor, explains in-vestors often struggle to make informed in-vestment and expansion decisions due to alack of reliable, local-level information thatis readily available.The census, which takes an in-depth look
at 23 industrial areas, was compiled by Cityofficial Michelle Joja. Aside from these in-dustrial zones, the census also highlightstwo business corridors in the Metro South-East and Voortrekker Road Corridors.
Much like national censusBloor says the census methodology was
much like the national census and sayswhen approached for information, busi-nesses were very eager to assist.Joja says the team went into the various
industrial areas with maps and collectedthe names of all the businesses. This infor-mation was entered into a database and ananalysis was done. Bloor says the Citycouncil will need to look at interventionsthat can optimise growth. He says local pol-icy makers are seeking to understand whatchallenges exist and how they can help.According to the census, theVoortrekker
RoadCorridor is oneof 12nodeson theMay-oral UrbanRenewal Programme. It is hometo six industrial areas that are mappedacross 1 487 erven.Of these, 146 are econom-
ically inactive. The manufacturing sectordominates the geography and the economicactivities.Joja says the research team analysed
where the vacant land parcels are andwhatthe different economic activities are.“We also looked at vacant buildings
owned by both government and privateowners. This information provides inves-tors who want to buy vacant land or build-ings, information on who the owners are,what the size is, its zoning and so on.”
Value chain of top five productsIn the Voortrekker Road Corridor –
which includes Ndabeni, Elsies River, Par-ow, Stikland, Sack’s Circle and TriangleFarm – the team created a value chain bydeterminingwhat the top five products are.Joja says the team created an analysis andformed a business directory that can serveas a quick guide for various products. Shefurther explains this also helped the teamunderstand where economic clusters are.“In Elsies River you can see there is a
wholesale and retail cluster andwe canalsosee what is dominating in a certain cluster.So the census basically looks at what isthere, what are the missing components inthe value chains and where investment ac-tivities are within the corridor.”Due to the clustering of businesses, the
team struggled to ascertain the spatial in-formation which is essential for mapping.“With the clustered areas, you can’t al-
ways see the division of the erven, so youcan’t make accurate spatial identificationand we often had to go back.”Questioned about land use and what per-
centage of businesses along the Voortrek-ker Road Corridor had the correct zoningfor their business activities, Joja says com-pliance checks were focused on vacantland.V For more information, visit www.capetown.gov.za

Cookie crumblesfor Elsies churchMICHELLE LINNERT

The City of Cape Town has confirmedthat a compliance notice was served ona church in Elsies River, over which
TygerBurger has extensively reported overthe last month.
The Ambassadors for Christ World Out-reach Ministries (AFC) has since halted theuse of children to sell cookies at busy inter-sections on behalf of their business arm, inexchange for lodging and food.
Mayco member for social developmentand early childhood development, SuzetteLittle, last Wednesday (23 March) con-firmed the church had been approached bytheir Law Enforcement unit.
“A notice was served on the Church in re-spect of the cookie selling children. Law En-forcement has also noticed that the childrenare no longer present at the intersections,”
Little said.TygerBurger first reported on the story
on 24 February (“Cookie sale concern”)when it came to light the children were sell-ing the cookies at intersections in Bellville,Parow and Goodwood.
The children were made to sell the cook-ies previously under very trying circum-stances, often seen at traffic lights beforesunrise and after sunset.
A concerned Bellville resident first re-ported the children’s plight toTygerBurger.
The update by Little of the notice servedon the church came on the same day asTyg-erBurger appeared on street with a third up-date on the story about the children underthe headline “Grownups now aid in cookiesales”.
Previously Little was quoted as saying:“Should there be non-compliance, the Citywill start impounding the goods ... and sum-mons the pastor to appear in court.”

Bonteheuwel rugbyplayers get major boost
From left are Adrian Buddingh (SMC Pneumatics South Africa), Ismail Meyer (KlipfonteinPrimary) and Barry Clarke (JAG Foundation).
Young rugby players from Bonteheuwelwill battle it out in a selection of tourna-ments as part of a programme aimed at im-proving the lives of youths in crime plaguedareas.
And as part of giving back to the commu-nity, SMC Pneumatics South Africa an-nounced its sponsorship of the JAG Foun-dation’s under 13 Sevens rugby teams inBonteheuwel on the Cape Flats.
By providing 180 much-needed jerseys aswell as contributing to escalating transportcosts to ensure the children’s safety to andfrom games, SMC hopes to make a visibledifference. They will also be riding for thecause at various cycle events wearing JAGFoundation branded outfits to help raiseawareness.
The company’s South African generalmanager, Adrian Buddingh, says the JAGFoundation’s work has always been “nearto his heart”.
He says in reaching out to the youths oftoday, they ensure the future of tomorrowand play a key role in enriching lives.
“We look very forward to the seasonahead and want to wish the under 13s andall the teams participating, the best of luck.We believe that this is the beginning of a
wonderful long-term partnership with theJAG Foundation and we are committed tothe cause,” adds Buddingh.
JAG Foundation’s Barry Clarke says al-cohol and drugs are the root cause of almostall of South Africa’s ills such as gangster-ism, crime, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence,broken homes and unemployment.
“By reaching out to the youth in thesecommunities and by providing them withfun, healthy activities, we give them a newpurpose,” he says, adding that to a largepart the ills of society were viewed as the“norm” and they aim to use community pro-jects such as rugby as an attainable oppor-tunity to create a new life path.
“More than just an escape, the JAG Foun-dation is a catalyst for change with pro-grammes such as JAGBullyProof, JAGRug-by, JAGRunners and JAGRiders, all striv-ing to enrich communities and create asense of togetherness,” he says.
The JAG Foundation plays an active rolein high-risk communities and provides in-valuable mentoring, coaching and know-ledge in these areas thanks to programmesdesigned to offer children an alternative lifepath to gangsterism, drugs, and violent be-haviour, he says.

Twee mans is in hegtenis geneem ná hulletoerusting uit ’n voertuig van die provinsi-ale nooddienste gesteel het.Twee lede van die Goodwood-polisie, ao.
Jacques Pieters en konst. Justin Mentoor,het inligting opgevolg dat twee verdagtemans naby Elsiesrivier-stasie stap mettwee sakkemet die kenteken van die nood-dienste daarop.Volgens lt. Wayne Theunis, polisie-
woordvoerder, het die twee lede die manstot by die stasie agtervolg. “Daar het hullegesien die mans sit die sakke in een vandiewagkamers. Bynadere ondersoek is be-
vind dit is noodhulptoerusting en die tweeverdagtes kon nie sê waar hulle aan diegoed komnie en het selfs die polisie na valsadresse geneem,” sê Theunis.Pieterse het die nooddienste in Good-
wood gebel. “Daar is toe vasgestel dat diegoedere uit ’n geparkeerde nooddienste-motor gesteel is. Die twee verdagtes is inhegtenis geneem en het in die Goodwood-landdroshof op aanklagte van diefstal uitmotorvoertuie verskyn,” volgens Theunis.Robert Daniels, woordvoerder van die
nooddienste, sê hulle kry ten minste eenkeer per maand voorvalle waarin menseby noodvoertuie inbreek.“Dit gebeur gewoonlik wanneer daar op
’n noodsituasie gereageer word. As die
nooddienste-personeel besig is om byvoor-beeld aan ’n pasiënt aandag te gee, sal ie-mand probeer om die ruite van die voer-tuie te breek. Wat die boewe nie besef nie,is dat daar bitter min goed in ’n noodvoer-tuig is wat straatwaarde het. Deur by ’nnoodvoertuig in te breek, veroorsaak jynetskade, maar jy kan niks verkoop nie. Asdaar eenboodskap iswat onswil tuisbring,is dit dít,” sê Daniels.Hy doen ’n beroep op die gemeenskap om
die nooddienste se ore en oë te wees.“Mensemoet op die uitkykwees vir kwa-
jongens wat daarop uit is om by noodvoer-tuie in te breek. Elke inbraak of poging totinbraak kos geld, wat andersins elders ge-bruik kon word.”

MICHELLE LINNERT@linnertmb
Soos die opvolg van ’n goeiespeurfliek het die dramarondom ’n poging tot moord-
saak laas jaar, die afgelope naweekverder afgespeel in die vernieldekantoor van ’n Bellvillese speur-der.Nou, vier maande ná die poging
tot moord, soek dié polisiekantoorselfs dringender na Jackie Sey-mour en Sammy Oforbuike, Sey-mour se kêrel en sekssmous, op ’nhandvol ekstra aanklagte wat nouook huisbraak, diefstal en regsver-ydeling insluit.Sien, Seymour het laas jaar in
November ’n foto van haarself opdie internet gelaai om kliënte nahaar sekswerkplek by SpanishOaks 19 in Oak Glen te nooi.Een van dié kliënte, ’n motor-
fietsryer, het daar aangekom,maar met die eerste oogopslag ge-sien dat dié Jackie op die internet-foto nié die vrouwas wat voor homgestaan het nie.Hy het toe verseg om van haar
dienste gebruik temaak,maar Sey-mour het aangedring op ’n R1 000-kansellasiefooi.Toe die kliënt weier, het sy die
deur gesluit en het sy en haar kêreldie kliënt begin aanrand.“Oforbuike is ’n liggaamsbouer.
Hy en Seymour het die klaer met’n pyp en bofbalkolf geslaan. Hullehet ’n deel van sy oor en sy kaakafgeslaan en sy arm gebreek,” ver-tel maj. Fienie Nimb, woordvoer-der van die Bellville-polisie.“Die klaer het daarin geslaag om
by ’n venster uit te spring en in diestraat af te hardloop, waar burehombebloedbuite gesienhet endiepolisie gebel het.“Oforbuike het weggery, terug-
gekom, ’n foto van die klaer ge-neem, en toe op die vlug geslaan.Kort daarna het ons lede op die to-
neel aangekom,” vertel Nimb.Met die polisie se aankoms is
Seymour in hegtenis geneem.“VerledeMaandag het die speur-
der in die saak inligting ontvangdat Oforbuike, wat vermoedelikdie heeltyd in Johannesburg sougewees het, wel in Kaapstad is,” sêNimb.Oforbuike het ook ’n bordeel be-
dryf in Parow by die Simondré Vil-las-kompleks, maar dié is reedslaas jaar deur die polisie toege-sluit vir sake. Dié plekis ook deursoek vir diemoontlikheid dat Ofor-buike moontlik daarsou skuil.“Nadat die speurder
die inligting ontvanghet, is hy na diewoonstelin OakGlen. Daar het hydie verdagte se motor ge-vind. Oforbuike het deur’n venster gevlug en oorheinings gespring en so-doende weggekom,” sêNimb.“Die speurder het op die
motor beslag gelê en Sey-mour het paniekerig beginraak. Met nadere onder-soek het dit geblyk dat alOforbuike se persoonlikedokumente in dié motorwas – sy paspoort, identi-teitsdokument en selfs syskeipapiere.”Nimb vertel dat Seymour
toe begin het met pogingsom dié papiere terug te kry.“Sy is verlede Woensdag
deur die sekerheidspersoneelvan die gebou wat ons speurtakhuisves, opgemerk waar sy in diegange ronddwaal. Hulle het haaruitgesit en die perseel belet.“Die Donderdag was sy terug
waar sy weer tussen die kantorerondgesluip het. Sy het op die vluggeslaan toe die wagte haar gewaar.Sy is wéér die Vrydag daar gesien
rondsluip, maar is toe weer weg.“Toe die speurder egter Sater-
dagoggend om 06:00 by sy kantooraankom, is die staalhek voor sykantoor met ’n koevoet oopge-breek, sy deur is ’n gat in geslaan,en alles in sy kantoor – sy skootre-kenaar, albei kluise – net so gelos.“Daar was slegs sekere goed ver-
mis: Oforbuike se dokumente,” sêNimb. Die sekerheid van die gebouis sedertdien op
-geskerp en die polisie is op soek naSeymour en Oforbuike.“Ons vra die hulp van die ge-
meenskap omdie tweestuks te helpopspoor en aan te keer. Enigie-mandmet inligting rondomhul be-wegings kan die speurder, ao.Shaun Jansen, kontak.”V Jansen kan gekontak word by021 918 3159 of 082 8111 223.

The animal bylaw in respect of barkingdogsmay be frowned upon bymany resi-dents asnonsensical, but theCity ofCapeTown is adamant this bylaw can and isstill enforced in a very practical sense.TygerBurger regularly receives com-
plaints from readers lamenting overtheir rowdy neighbourhood dogs, cou-pled with the City’s inability to enforcethe bylaw that regulates this.Inmost cases it transpires that the nui-
sance dog, after being reported to LawEnforcement, will be considerably quietwhen the officers arrive on the premises.Thismakes it impossible for them to takelawful action against the dog owner.Such a case is subsequently closed, untilanother is opened. In terms of the abovebylaw, no dog is allowed to bark formorethan three minutes successively in halfan hour, or six minutes successively inan hour. But how do you prove this?As is the case in anyother legalmatter,
sufficient evidence is needed to prose-cute such a case in the municipal courts.In this instance, a complete “barking
monitoring schedule” as well as audio-visualmaterial would be needed, accord-ing to the City’sMaycomember of Safetyand Security, JP Smith.Smith says just because many of the
complaints encountered cannot alwaysbe corroborated by the investigating offi-cials who have tomonitor the dogs at theidentified locations, it does not mean thebylaw is not being contravened.“ ... Obviously the officers cannotmon-
itor the location on a 24-hour basis,” hesays. “Enforcement actionwill thereforeinvolve an initial compliance notice di-
recting the dog owner to remedy the situ-ation. In the event of non-compliancethis will be followed, in most cases, bythe compilation of a docket containingthe complainant’s affidavit, which in-cludes a barking monitoring scheduleand whatever audio-visual evidence isavailable, so that the dog owner can besummoned to court on the prosecutor’sinstruction.”Smith however does not clarify how
this would be done in the absence of offi-cers to constantly monitor the premises.An officer, he says, may also opt to is-
sue a written notice for the owner to ap-pear in court with the option of payingan admission of guilt fine.HHowever, according to a TygerBurger
source, the lack of manpower in the LawEnforcement department in actual factdoes not afford officers the time neededto be spent on compiling such dockets.In extreme cases an admission of guilt
fine would be issued to a “repeat offend-ers”, who would then pay it and be ontheir way, often leaving the cause of theproblem unresolved.In other cases, dog owners do comply
to notices to try and find out why theirdogs bark, and take action, but oftenwork full days and simply have no con-trol over their dog’s barking habits dur-ing the day.With the issue evidently pos-ing several challenges, TygerBurgerasked Smith whether it really madesense to utilise their limited manpoweron such cases and whether the City havehad any successful court appearances inthis regard. No specific answer wasforthcoming. The City also did not re-spondas towhether theyare looking intoother more practical solutions, whichmight see this bylaw amended.

While they are all well-known CapeTown musicians in their own right,themembers of TopDog SA are gear-
ing up to play their first festival in front oftheir home crowd at the Cape Town Interna-tional Jazz Festival this week.The band – made up of Don Vino (saxo-
phones), Camillo Lombard (keyboards),Charlton Daniels (bass), Mornay Hofmees-ter (drums) and Mark Williams (guitars) –hail from Kuils River, Parow, Brackenfelland Belhar.The musicians were on tour with Tevin
Campbell andpreparing for a showat Johan-nesburg’s Carnival City when Camillo cameup with the idea to start a band.“We were individuals at the time; we used
to work together a lot, but we weren’t aunit,” Camillo explains. He was also the onethat came up with the name TopDog, eventhough Charlton wasn’t too impressed withit.“I thought it would sound arrogant,” but
once they started getting bookings he saysthe name grew on him.With their combined musical CVs, Top-
Dog SA have every right to be a little arro-gant.
Together for three yearsBetween working as the principal of the
CapeMusic Institute, Camillo is a sought aft-er accompanist for legends like JimmyDlud-lu while Don Vino rates his work on KirkWhalum’s Gospel according to Jazz Chapter4 albumas one of thehighlights of his career.Drumming lecturer by day, Mornay has
similarly workedwith big local and interna-tional names ranging from Judith Sephumato Chevelle Franklin. With more than 16 in-ternational toursunderhis belt,Mark’s skillhas seen him play in 14 different countries
while Charltonwas even chosen as amentoralongside names like Frank Paco for lastyear’s Artscape Youth Jazz Festival.TopDog SA have been together for three
years now, originally performing as a tightbacking band for names like Emo and Louk-maan Adams, Lloyd Cele, Judith Sephumaand Danny K, but once they started backingJonathan Butler they decided to start work-ing on their own original material.“We realisedwehadanopportunity to per-
form anywhere in the world with the band,”
Camillo says, adding: “His smooth SouthAf-rican sound kind of led us into a directionas well.”The band has been hard at work on their
debut album at Fish Hoek’s Paris Studios.Griqua DNA will be out in time for the JazzFestival andMornay describes it as a “most-ly instrumental fusion album” with ele-ments of genres from ghoema to funk andeven a little gospel.Their completely independent album also
features performances by Jonathan Butler
and Marrion Meadows.When they aren’t on stage, the band mem-
bers are all involved in youth developmentthrough their various training projects.
Have to pass it on“We have to pass on the baton to the next
generation and provide them with skills,”Mornay says. “We’ve got to impart what weknow and what helped us in the industry,”he says.“We’d like to see a better future for the up-
coming musicians,” Camillo adds.“We had our fair share of challenges and
it’s up to us to rectify those mistakes by im-parting the correct knowledge.”Charlton points out that there aremiscon-
ceptions about what the music industry isabout and many say “you’ll never make itas a musician”.“We’rehere to givebackandprove to them
that what they are saying is not true: thereare possibilities.”TopDog will be doing just that when they
play on the Basil Manenberg Coetzee stageat theCapeTown International JazzFestivalthis weekend. They will also be performingat the festival’s free concert at GreenmarketSquare tonight (Wednesday).Camillo works on the festival every year,
but says this year is extra special becauseinstead of backing another artist, the bandwill be playing their own original material.The festival is also a platformwhere inter-
national artists and promotors can see andhear the band and possibly book them forother festivals.“Also, it’s an honour and a privilege to
play in front of a home crowd; our own peo-ple,” Mornay says.V For more information about TopDog SA, theirshows and upcoming album, visit their Facebookpage. For more information about this weekend’sCape Town International Jazz Festival, visitwww.capetownjazzfest.com.

Supersport United are the 2016 Metro-politan u.19 Premier Cup championsafter a closely fought 1-0 triumph over
Ajax Cape Town in front of a full house atErica Park in Belhar on Monday afternoon.The first half was a cagey affair with both
teams showing each other the mutual re-spect deserving of cup finalists. Ajax cameclosest to scoring when Godfrey Pelstonheaded against the inside of the crossbar aft-er half an hour, while Supersport skipper,Teboho Mokoena, saw a searing long rangedrive fly centimetres over the crossbar, aminute before the break.The second half produced more flowing
football with both teams demonstrating fullcommitment to their respective causes. Thedeadlockwas finally broken 10minutes afterthe restartwhenmidfield playmakerNelsonMaluleke drove the ball firmly past Ajax‘keeper, Darren Johnson from the edge ofthe penalty area.
Opted to sit back at firstThe Young Urban warriors piled on the
pressure, urgedonby thevociferous supportof their thousands of fans lining the edgesof the field. Winger Leo Thetani had the ballin the net in the 65thminute but the goalwasrightly ruled out for offside. Further chan-ces fell to Sebastian Lucas and Pelston, butthe Matsatsantsa rearguard held firm in theface of the onslaught to steer their team overthe victory line.The winning coach, Kwanele Kopo, was
delighted that his pre-match tactical ap-proach had reaped dividends. “We knewAjax were a good passing team so we optedto sit back in the early stages and remaincompact,” he said. “When we saw that theydidn’t offer too much threat going forward,we decided to play a bit more expansivelyand I feel we controlled the match from thenon. Only in the latter stages did we come un-
der pressure when the fatigue from playingtwomatches yesterday began to take its toll.I am so proud of the character shown by myplayers. I must express my thanks to Metro-politan and the organisers who put on a fan-tastic tournament every year. It’s a pleasureto come here and compete.”
Goal prize money now R50 000Metropolitan’s head of brand and corpo-
rate affairs, Llewellyn Allen, expressed hissatisfaction on behalf of the sponsors at theconclusion of proceedings. “Firstly, congrat-ulations to Supersport United, who provedthemselves worthy champions over thecourseof the tournament.Thehigh standardof the competition and the sporting spirit inwhich it was played is a fitting way to cele-brate the 25th anniversary of our associa-tion with the Premier Cup. Metropolitan isproud to be the chief sponsor to this impor-tant event on the football calendar,” he said,adding every year the competition seems togrow in stature and the enthusiasm of thelocal community in turning out in big num-bers, whatever the weather conditions, hasborne that out. “It serves to reinforceMetro-politan’s commitment to youth developmentthrough football and social upliftment.”Metropolitan had originally pledged to do-
nate R10 000 for every goal scored in the Fi-nal to Belhar-based NPO, Preco (Poverty Re-lief & Empowerment for Change Organisa-tion) but spontaneously decided to up theamount to R50 000, despite only one goal be-ing scored in the final.The Supersport squad received awinners’
cheque for R45 000, medals, a floating trophyand a keepsake replica.Earlier, MPCE Football Academywon the
Plate Final, beating Greenwood Athletic 1-0.Hellenic lifted the Dullah Omar Memorialtrophy as the winners of the Mid-Section Fi-nal after winning 3-0 against Milano United.

After the rain delayedweekendproceed-ings at the national baseball champi-onship at the Chukker Road sports
complex, the actionkickedupagear onMon-day.In the early morning fixtures Western
Province A (WPA) and Western Province B(WPB) overpowered WP u.23 and Gautengu.23 respectively.WP u.23 started well against WPA with
Stuart Baron limiting them to one or tworuns in the early innings. As the game wenton theA side showed theirworth and startedaccumulating the hits and piling on theruns. The u.23 bullpen did not come to theparty and the A side ran out 14-0 winners insix innings.Meanwhile, Gauteng’s u.23 side was
dumped out of the tournament when theywere once again shut out – this time by Jay-son Ripepi 9-0 of WP A in the afternoongame. Gauteng u.23s only scored five runs,while conceding 44 runs in the green sectionchampionship round.The surprise victory of the day was surely
WP u.23’s 6-4 win over a much fancied Gaut-eng A side.Gauteng A redeemed themselves when
they came back from 0-1 to beat WP B 4-1.The win secures Gauteng A second spot in
the round robin league and a semi-final spotagainst WP B. Another loss for Gauteng Awould have pitted them against the WP Apowerhouse in the semi-finals.In earlier weekend action after rain de-
layed the start on Sunday, the cream of CapeTown players were involved in a hotly con-tested showdown. Western Province A beatWestern Province B 5-3.The B side took a 1-0 lead at the end of the
first inning when they scored on a walk, awild pitch, a pass ball and a fielder’s choicefrom pitching by Dean Jacobs.The A side bounced back immediately by
scoring two runs in the second and threeruns in the third inning to take a 5-1 lead.Jacobs settled down and completed his
five innings stint, conceding three hits, twowalks and a run while striking out five hit-ters.He was replaced by Russell Olivier who
pitched the last two innings, conceding twohits, two walks and two runs, striking outone hitter.TheB sideused four pitchers, JasonTheys
(2.2 inn, 3H, 3BB and 5 runs) before being re-lieved by Terence le Roux (0.1 inn, 1H and3BB). He was relieved by Grant Robertson(2 inn, 2H, 1K) before Lee Marks (2 inn) fin-ished the game.The best hitters of the A side were Riyaad
Moosa (2 for 3) and Darren Wedel (1 for 1).The B side had five scattered hits.The B side had a double play and botched
one in the crucial second inning.
In their second game WPA overpoweredGauteng A 6-0. Jared Elario was in top formforWPAand,with Lloyd Stevens, kept Gaut-eng A scoreless.In WPB’s second game they beat WP u.23
7-0.There was no score up until the fourth in-
ningwhenWPB’s experience came through.WPu.23 continued to struggle with the bat
and conceded their second shutout of the
tournament.In the final game of the evening WP u.23
batters came to light as they just managedto beat Gauteng u.23 5-4.WP u.23 raced to a 5-0 lead but allowed
Gauteng u.23 to score four runs in the sev-enth inning, which gave them a huge scare.WP u.23’s management may need to have
a look again at their bullpen, as it almost letthem down in the end.
