Residents surrounding a vacant property in Ravensmead Road, want some action from the council because while the rats are becom- ing a major problem there are also various other factors relating to this field that are causing problems. Peter Prinsloo is one of the resi- dents affected, who feels that the rat problem is growing out of control. “I have been living here since 1977, and have been trying to find out who owns this ground since it became a problem,” he said. “They even had an informal set- tlement that sprang up here but luckily that was moved but nothing else has happened since then. “Now it just gets overgrown with grass and weeds, and has also be- come a dumping ground for rubbish and dead dogs. This is resulting in a major health hazard, and when the grass dries out in summer then it is a fire hazard.” Prinsloo also pointed out that in recent months the area has been plagued with rats from this field in- vading homes and gardens. “All of us around here have been having problems,” he added. “The rats eat anything, starting with food for your pets, they don’t just go for plants and bulbs in the gardens, but they have even de- stroyed plastic irrigation systems when they have burrowed under the ground. “We have had to make major re- pairs to our cars when they chewed through the electrical wiring in our cars and we can’t afford to keep pay- ing for repairs. We just want the council to find out who the owners are and what the plans for this area are. Over the years there have been so many people who wanted to buy it but they were unsuccessful. “There are times when the coun- cil comes here to clean it up, but that does not solve the problem in the long term.” In Bishop Lavis and Valhalla Park, there have also been prob- lems relating to rats emerging with the major complaints coming from houses surrounding open spaces. Freda Adamson, from Bishop Lavis, also complained about the problem of these areas being used for dumping grounds that is caus- ing the rat problem. “I don’t know what is wrong with people who have started to dump their household rubbish on these fields,” she said. “Everybody should have a bin and it is collected regularly so there is no need to be doing this. There is also the major problem that they cause when leftover food is part of the refuse and this is what attracts the rats, and it is also very un- healthy when children start play- ing in these areas.” .

Copper thieves can’t escape the law in El-sies River.
Law enforcement from the City of CapeTown have been hard at work when theyresponded to a call in the earlyhours of Sat-urday 3 November.
At about 4:55 the Copperheads receivedinformation of a cable theft in progress, on35th Street in Elsies River, while theywerebusy with their planned operations for theweekend.
They rushed to the scene and whilst ontheir way strategised to prevent the perpe-trators from fleeing to their escape routes“the flats”, which are situated next to 35thStreet.
On arrival at the scene the Copperheadsfounda freshlydug trench,with street lightcable exposed, two suspects and tools.
The culprits were surprised when, while
trying to flee from the crime scene, theyfound their escape route blocked. This ex-pert planning from the officers led to thearrest of both suspects.
Investigation revealed that the suspectslive in Elsies River and are 51 and 29 yearsold. They were arrested on a charge of at-tempted theft and detained at Elsies Riverpolice station.
In three other incidents, five suspectswere arrested for possession of suspectedstolen goods. A drain-cover, a metal pillar-box cover and approximately 16 metres ofTelkom cable were items confiscated dur-ing the arrests.
The value of the damage caused duringthese incidents is unknown at this stage.
TheCopperheadswill continue their sur-prise operations – phone themon their toll-free hotline 0800 222 771.

Better control over the sellingofbluemu-nicipal bags will shortly be exercised assoon as amunicipal tender in this regardis awarded.
This is the response from the City of CapeTown following concerns from a member ofthe plastics industry over bags he claim are“illegally” being sold at traffic lights in allnorthern suburbs.
The member of the plastics industry, whowants to be known only as a concerned rate-payer, is worried that the blue rubbish bagssold at traffic lights must have been stolenfromthemunicipality since they sported cer-tain identification numbers.
Printing on a packet of bags he bought atone such traffic light sports the followingidentification code: CoCT SWM PB 02 13 092012.
This raised the concern that bags could ha-ve been stolen from the municipality andsold on the street.
However, in a response from Alfonso vanVuuren, acting director: Solid Waste of theCity of Cape Town, it was stated there wasno proof of blue bags being stolen.
“This is due to the fact that the SolidWasteDepartment has not yet awarded the tenderfor its printed bags nor ordered any printedbags as yet,” said Alfonso.
Only after the tender is awarded will thecorrect and track-able printed bags be orde-red and made available for the department’sservice delivery programmes.
“As soon as a tender for printed bluemuni-cipal bags is awarded, better control couldbe exercised in tracing bags back to theirsource. This will result in the relevant peo-ple responsible for bags ending up for saleon street corners being held accountable,”said Alfonso.
He further said bags sold on street cornerscould have been bought from any manufac-turer.
“In fact, there are even suppliers fromChi-na who provide blue bags,” he said.
Alfonso said the Solid Waste Departmentadvertised a tender calling for very specificprinting and tracking numbers on the bluebags it will be buying in the future, but thatthe tender has not yet been awarded.
He said certain companies who tenderedstarted printing their version of the printedbags, possibly to show that they could do it,he said, explaining the sight of printed bagsalready being sold at traffic lights all over.
“It should be noted that the tracking num-bers on those bags are meaningless, as noneof those bags has been ordered as yet by theSolid Waste Department.
He said therefore the department can onlypresume the manufacturers who printedthose bags are selling them.
He allayed fears that bags were being sto-len from the city.
“Once the tender is awarded, the depart-ment will start ordering printed bags and itwill be possible to track all bags to their sour-ce and hold the relevant people responsibleshould those bags end up for sale on streetcorners,” he said.

The Uitsig Community Brass Band isready to blow up a storm to fight crimeand gangsterism in the area.
Started in 2005 by Vernon Hendricks, thegroup is growing stronger as more young-sters in the area discover that there is moreto life than the crime, gangsterism and drug-abuse that is so rife in their neighbourhoods.Music has always played a big part in
showing Hendricks the path to achievingpositive potential, even after a shooting acci-dent in 1994 left him in a wheelchair.“I’ve been involved withmusic of the min-
strels (klopse) since I was very young,” hesays.“It always gave me a sense of pride in my-
self when I was taking part in the carnivalsand marches, but when I was shot I did notsee it as a disability, but an opportunity todo something more in the community.“I started to play the trumpet, and saw the
need to be out there and encouraging ouryouth to start playing music to keep themaway from negative influences.”Hendricks pointed out that it has been
very difficult for them to keep going withoutany formof sponsorship, but they kept on go-ing.“When you realise what this means to the
children you know that you can’t give up.“They’re learning more than music, they
are learning how to communicate, to worktogether and they’ve even seen that this mu-sic can become a career for them.“Many of them nowwant to take it further
by joining the armed forces to play in thosebands.”AshlynMarcus is one of themembers who
has been with the group since 2006 and hasgrown into one of the members entrustedwith teaching music to the group.“All of us really enjoy playing music, and
my aim is eventually to get all of us to start
reading music properly,” he says enthusias-tically.“Through my church I started to learn to
read, and now I want to impart that to theothers in the band. I think that our playingand performances will improve drasticallywith this skill.“My dream is that more children and
youthwill join us because taking part in thisshows you that you don’t have to be part ofthe crime out there. I also wish that we could
getmorehelp from the community, and busi-nesses so thatwecould getmore instrumentsto teach more children who join.”The group will be hosting a Family Fun
Day and outing to Kogel Bay on Saturday 24November to raise funds for their various ac-tivities.Tickets are R100 for adults, children 11 to
15 pay R50, and under-10 is R25.Further information and booking from
Hendricks on 073 336 3415.

Youngsters in Bishop Lavis are march-ing to a positive beat with the establish-ment of drill cadets in the area.
This initiative is the brainchild of PeterJohnson who started the group in Marchthis year.He takes the children of the area for drill-
ing sessions every day after school and onSaturdays in the park on the corner of Skyand Bird roads.Melanie Mason, the metro police Neigh-
bourhood Safety Officer, assists when theyhave practises and feels that Johnson is do-ing a remarkable job with these children.“Children really enjoy this activity be-
cause it teaches themwhat they can achieveif they work together and in harmony,” shesaid.“This initiative is also supported by the
neighbourhood watch in the area who arethere when we host practises and help withfunctions.“We want to support Johnson with this
project because he is passionate about keep-ing the children occupied and it helps withtheir discipline at school.”She added that at the moment the squad
consisted mainly of girls from various pri-mary schools in the area, but they encour-agedmore youth to join them in the activity.The squad recently hosted a passing out
parade where they each received a certifi-cate for completing the first two phases ofthe drilling course.Johnson, who also received a certificate
for establishing the group, pointed out thathe was very proud of the children becausethey realised that with the proper disciplinein their lives they could go ahead andachieve anything.“However,weneed the support of the com-
munity to encourage more children to joinus, and help us to keep going.“We need help with uniforms because the
majority of our members come from poorfamilies that cannot afford contributions touniforms.“These children are really dedicated to
the squad and when it comes to money is-sues it can cause drop-outs because theycannot contribute.“We can only be successful if the commu-
nity supports us,” he said.Further information about the group is
available from Melanie Mason on 073 6717969 or e-mail [email protected].

Hewatchesme intently. His eyesfriendly,hopeful. I getupclose tothe fence that divides us andgently, carefully reach out myhand.
My reward is a friendly lick andan excited tail wag. The lively JackRussel squirms into my arms, hisbody quivering in pleasure over thefew moments he can spend with ahuman friend.“Have you come to take me ho-
me?” his eyes ask. My heart shat-ters into a million pieces.I am at the Animal Anti Cruelty
League (AACL) inBellville South tohear how they are making Christ-mas special for their animals.“We would like to put a Christ-
mas stocking on eachand every ani-mal’s cage and to do that, we needthe public’s help,” says Helen Sad-ler, adoptions officer.They’ve already started making
hessian stockings that will be filled
with a toy and any other doggy tre-ats that are donated to them.For this project to be a success,
peopleneed to open theirhearts anddonate generously.“These poor dogs don’t get much,
so we decided to give them a niceChristmas,” said adoptions officerAlma Schaap.The Christmas Stocking Project
was born when Helen’s 12-year-olddaughter Caitlyn came up with theidea after shewas involved at a San-ta’s Shoebox project at her school,Durbanville Primary.“She asked me why we couldn’t
do something similar for the dogs,”says Helen.The stockings will be hung onto
their cages on Christmas Eve andtheywill receive their treats the fol-lowing day.“Over the holidays the days are
very long for the dogs, as the staffonly work half day,” says Alma.“That is why we want to make it agood day for them,” she adds.People are requested to open
their hearts anddrop off dog and cattreats, dog and cat toys, balls fordogs and doggy chews at the AACLin Bellville South.Alma says it is im-
portant for puppies’development to ha-ve a toy.For people con-
templating buyingpets as Christmasgifts, Alma has amessage: “Don’t dothis unless you aresure that is whatyou really want.Buying a pet is a fa-mily choice and a 15-year commitment,”she says.A total of 120 dogs
and 30 cats are ho-med at the AACL –only one of themanylocal animal welfareorganisations. The-re are thousandsmore pets at other

Healthy foods can lead tohealthyminds with a new initiative star-ting at primary schools.
Many of today’s children facechallenges when it comes to goodnutrition and healthy living, butBelhar Primary School recentlydiscovered that it can be fun gettingto eat the proper foods for good he-alth.While teaching learners about
the importance of healthy eatingchoices and regular physical activi-ty is included in the life orientationcurriculum in South Africanschools, many are still in need of in-novative programmes and resour-ces to teach learners about healthyliving and good nutrition.After a highly successful pilot
project,Woolworths has launched anew component of their Wool-worths Educational Programme forprimary schools, dietitian-led Lear-ner Talks for Grade 4 children.Participating schools can now
book these interactive 30-minutelessons which accommodate up to100 children. It is the first time thatprofessional dietitians are getting a
chance to interact with learners di-rectly in the school environment,and to share their expertise in a funand age-appropriate way.The lessons are based on a speci-
fic vegetable or fruit theme, such astomato, apple, carrot or banana.Each lesson begins with a “food ae-robic’ session that gets learnersmo-ving by spelling out the letters ofthe theme fruit or vegetable withtheir bodies.The dietitian then leads an inte-
ractive discussion about the parti-cular fruit and vegetable which in-cludes fun and interesting facts,how it grows and a question and an-swer session on what we can dowith it in our diet.Lessons are summed up in a par-
ticipative, motivational chantwhich helps to emphasise the im-portant role that fruit and vegeta-bles play in balanced daily nutriti-on. At the end of the lesson, the lear-ners each receive the theme fruit orvegetable to encourage them to putwhat they have learnt into practice.“The idea of highly interactive,
dietitian-led Learner Talks is toprovide current, professional advi-
ce on healthy eating right where itcounts: in the classroom,” com-ments Pieter Twine, WoolworthsEducational Programmes mana-ger.“It is an innovative way forWool-
worths to continue its commitmentto share its expertise and supporteducation on healthy lifestyles.This is an important extension ofthe programme; another way thatwe can support the upliftment ofeducation by providing schoolswith high quality educational re-sources and learning experiencesthat effectively address the con-cerns about educating childrenabout healthy, sustainable lifesty-les.”Maryke van Zyl, Woolworths die-
titian, added that early exposure tonutrition education and the oppor-tunities tomakehealthy eating cho-ices daily can entrench a sense ofaccountability for one’s ownhealth.“These lessons can also establish
essential good nutrition patternsthat may last a lifetime, protectingchildren from the risks of obesityand lifestyle-related diseases.“Worldwide, most professional
nutritionists recommend thatchildren eat five to eight portions ofa variety of fresh fruit and vegeta-
bles per day. Thanks to this projectmore South African children are le-arning this valuable lesson.”
Learning healthy eating habits forever
From left, Belhar Primary learners Caprice Afrika, Jaydin Phillips, dietitianHilary Woodley, and Lee-Joey Phillips enjoy learning about healthy eating.
Aberdare Primary School in Delft is all con-nected in celebrating an early Christmasthis week.Learners from Abedare Primary School
were overjoyed last week then they got theirpresent from the Vodacom Millionaires ini-tiative, a donationof a fully equipped compu-ter centre and access to the internet.The centre comprises 21 laptops, a server,
printer, four WebBoxes with LCD screensand 400 Mb of monthly internet access for ayear for each computer.All this was made possible by Vodacom
Millionaires; the popular game showflighted on SABC 1 on Tuesday evenings.Abedare Primary was built in 2010 by the
WesternCapeEducationDepartment as partof a project to meet the growing demand forschools in theDelft area. The schoolwas offi-cially opened in January this year, but lear-ners only started attending classes in April,due to a lack of proper learning resources.Hearing about the programme, the princi-
pal approached the producers of the show,which donates four fully equipped computercentres to public schools every month.These donations form part of its commit-
ment to support and upgrade the quality ofeducation in public schools across South Af-rica by ensuring that learners have accessto technology and teachers have access tothe highest quality teaching resources.“While a computer centre alone cannot
meet all the needs of the school, we believeit can add real value when used as a tool forlearning,” saysSurayaHamdulay, executivehead: Media-CSI and Sustainability at Voda-
com.“The educational software and training
provided to the teachers will ensure that thelearners can use the computer centre to itsfull potential.”“Our overall strategy involves using tech-
nology to improve the quality of educationoffered in public schools across the country,and to ensure that we put the power of theinternet into everyone’s hands.”In October 2011, the company partnered
with theDepartment of Basic Education,Mi-crosoft, Cisco and Mindset Learn and laun-ched the Vodacom Mobile Education Pro-gramme.This programmemakesuseofmobile tech-
nology to provide teachers across South Af-ricawithbetter access to quality teaching re-sources and information technology.“Our learners will now be able to use the
internet to complete school research pro-jects, as we do not have a library at theschool,” said David Joseph, acting principalof the school when thanking the sponsors.“The computer centre will also help to ex-
pose the learners to technology at a youngage, asmanydonot have computers at home.This initiative, now in its seventh year,
has to date donated over 280 computer cen-tres all over the country and has begun up-grading old computer centres that it donatedin the past to ensure that all benefitingschools have the latest technology.VodacomMillionaires encourages schools
that are currently without computer facili-ties to contact it on 082 243 2082 (free fromVodacom cell phones) for assistance.
Computers galoreDavid Joseph, acting principal of Aberdare Primary celebrates the opening of the computercentre with one of the learners and Paula Carvalho-Malekane from Vodacom.

Parow police have intensifiedpatrols around the area sincebrazen criminals have resortedto stealing batteries out of cars –even in broad daylight.
Residents are up in arms as thisincreasing trend is costing themhundreds of rands to repair thedamage.Tracey Baron, who works in
ParowValleywas one of the victimswho had her car targeted.“I left work to pick up my child
on a Friday and my car wouldn’tstart. I then opened my bonnet andwas shocked to find the battery ofmy car missing.”She says this was a huge incon-
venience.“It spoiled my whole day, I had to
make another plan to get my childand it cost me R700 to get a new bat-tery. It’s disappointing, these crimi-nals have no respect for us! Andwho sees them? As long as they getwhat they want. Police should pa-trol more in the area.”Mariam Knowles, another vic-
tim, says thieves jumped over herfence at home and stole the batteryof her car.“They are so daring to come on to
our property and not care. I wasdevastated when it happened and Ihad to payR800 for a battery;moneyI don’t have lying around.”She says it is a huge concern that
the criminals have no regard forone’s safety.“What will happen next? If I dis-
turbed them they could have killed
me.”Another resident who did not
want to be named says he justparked his car in Parow to do someshopping when his battery was sto-len out of his car.“It’s ridiculous that they are do-
ing it in broad daylight. I justbought a new battery and now Iwasforced to buy another one. Actionmust be taken against these crimi-nals.”Lieutenant Kevin L Williams,
Parow police spokesperson, sayspolice have adjusted their timeframesof operations to complementnormal visible patrols in ParowValley and surrounding areas tocurb or to prevent crimes.“There has been an increase in
the number of batteries being sto-len and therefore we have steppedup patrols. No arrests have beenmade yet, but we promise that per-petrators will be brought to justiceas soon as possible.”He urges people to park their ve-
hicle in a lock-up place or garage ifpossible to avoid being a victim ofthis crime.“In doing so the owners makes it
difficult for their property to be sto-len. The owners of vehicles are alsoencouraged to install an alarm sys-tem. Preferably park vehicles in acontrolled parking area if at work.When at home do not negligentlyleave you car on the pavement,” hesays.“Policewillmercilessly trackand
hunt these criminals and success-fully prosecute anyone committingcrimes of theft out of motor-vehicleor any property crimes.”

The University of the WesternCape (UWC) is celebratinganoth-er world-class facility.
They recently launched theirnew short-course swimming andwaterpolo pool, and it seems that itis set to become a sought-after re-source, not just for students butswimmers across the peninsula,and even on the internationalscene.Speaking at the launch, Professor
Brian O’Connell, vice-chancellorand rector of UWC, said the newswimming and waterpolo pool is anexcellent example of what UWC isall about.“UWC already has the biggest
Life Science building in Africa, andnow we can boast one of the bestSwimming andAquatics Centres aswell,” he said.Brian Reynolds, vice-president of
Swimming South Africa, also com-mented on the new facility.“We are thankful that UWC has
built this fantastic facility, nowmany more Olympians and Paral-ympians can come from here in thenear future.”Dr Ivan Meyer, MEC for the De-
partment of Cultural Affairs andSport in the Western Cape, also de-livered a message at the opening.
Meyer, who studied at the Uni-versity 38 years ago, said the uni-versity played a critical role in lay-ing the foundation for the successhe enjoys today.“As a student in the 1980s I didn’t
spend my time in the discos on aFriday night; instead I spent hoursin this very swimming pool atUWC,” he said.Meyer also invited a special guest
to the opening, Renette Bloem, theblind swimmer who representedSouthAfrica in thewater in the 2012London Paralympics and whotrains at UWC.This new facility is the second
part of a three-phased developmentprocess to improve the facilities atthe pool. Four years ago the 50 mpool received its first make-overwith an indoor facility that includ-ed a heated pool.Now that the short-course pool is
completed, work will begin on thethird and final phase of develop-ment, to upgrade the pool area’s toi-lets and office buildings.Sports administrator Hayward
Barends said because swimming isone of the key sports at UWC, a lotof emphasis is placed on develop-ment.“Although we administer 13 ac-
tive sports – rugby, swimming,cricket, athletics and soccer get big-ger budgets and aremanaged differ-
ently from the other sports,” hesaid.But, even without further devel-
opment, UWC is already on themapas a world-class swimming facility.When the Olympic-sized pool was
completed in 2005O’Connell singledit out as a symbol of what the insti-tution and the whole country couldbe; a signof SouthAfricans reclaim-ing their place in the world.TodayUWChas received this rec-
ognition from many in the interna-tional swimming community, forexample, the Turkish Olympicteam, who picked UWC as a venueto train at last year.
UWC dives in at deep end of new poolProfessorBrian O’Con-nell, Dr IvanMeyer, andBrian Rey-nolds, vice-president ofSwimmingSouth Africa,at the unvei-ling of theplaque tocommemoratethe opening ofthe newfacility.
The new pool at UWC is ready to train a new generation of championsfor South Africa.

Various open spaces arebeing evaluatedaround Cape Town to see whether hous-es can be built on them to alleviate thehousing dilemma.
Subcouncils are currently selectingwhich land they think is appropriate intheir areas and an inspection takes place tosee whether it could be used.In a Subcouncil 4 meeting held recently,
councillors discussed that finding housesfor backyard-dwellers seem to be a hugeproblem in the Parow, Goodwood and sur-rounding areas.Reginald Thomas, a Goodwood council-
lor, said it is a growing problem.“The number of people who are residing
in backyards is increasing and the mattermust be looked at.”Micheal Brits, another councillor, shared
his view and said that it should be lookedat as a matter of top priority.Ernest Sonnenberg, mayoral committee
member for Human Settlements says hous-ing developments are implemented wherethe city owns suitable and viable land to usefor such a purpose.“A project pipeline is created in the Hu-
man Settlements section of the city’s Inte-grated Development Plan (IDP) whichaligns with grant allocations and politicalpriority. Allocations to these projects arethen done in terms of the Allocations Poli-cy.”He says one of the functions of the district
planning offices of the Planning and Build-ing Development Management Departmentis to constantly look for possible sites forthe delivery of housing opportunities.“The Human Settlements Directorate
works together with them to evaluate thelandparcels for possible development in thefuture. Land as identified by subcouncils isalso added to the list of land to be evaluat-ed,” says Sonnenberg.“These sites are subjected to a range of
tests before it is packaged into a possible fu-ture project and commencement of the for-mal approval process.Any viable and suitable land for housing
development that we can secure ownershipof, we will do.”Although there are a substantial number
of backyarders within the subcouncil area,it must be noted that this is a citywide phe-nomenon and that the city meets regularlywith backyarder forums.“Housing is provided in terms of the
council-approved Allocations Policy and tothose persons registered on theHousingDa-tabase.”

Local soccer side Vasco da Gamahave a big game ahead for themthis weekend.Striker Roberto Do Eepirito
Santo carries a huge weight of re-sponsibility for them when theyhost Thanda Royal Zulu in a Na-tionalFirstDivision leaguematchat Parow Park on Saturday after-noon (kick-off 15:30).The number 10 has recaptured
the form that made him one of thebest players in the First Divisiona few seasons back, and he haseven taken up captaincy of theteam, leading by examplewith hisexcellent all-round play.As both a creator and finisher of
goal-scoring opportunities Santowill be a man that Thanda Royal
Zulu will have to keep an eye onif they are to comeout of this gamewith all three points.Gareth Ncaca, the Vasco mid-
fielder has also grown in staturein recent weeks and has become aregular in the engine room for theParow side.His forward-thinking play
brings a new dimension to theteam and he has struck up a solidpartnership with Zeka Karkee.Most of all, it will be Ncaca’s de-
fensive abilities, particularly hisaggressive tackling, that will beneeded to nullify Thanda RoyalZulu creative players.The visitors’ central midfield
pairing will have a real battle ontheir hands against Vasco DaGama, who favour a 4-4-3 forma-tion that makes them very strong
in the centre of the pitch.The midfield three are likely to
be Ncaca, Karkee and Santo, allplayers capable of scoring goals orproviding killer through-balls.Coach Antonio De Nobrega will
probably combine Geofrey Serun-kuma, Sici Shelembe, Brian Kga-fane and Damian Mitchel asstrong candidates for a place inthe forward lineThe oneweakness of this forma-
tion is that they rely heavily ontheir fullbacks Keeno Shellar onthe right and Brandon Adams onthe left to overlap and providewidth.If Thanda Royal Zulu can pin
the fullbacks in their own half byensuring their own attacking playfocuses on the wide areas, then itjust may give them a slight edge
inwhat is sure to be a very evenly-matched encounter.Vasco, back in the National
First Division after a single sea-son in the Premiership, have alsoshown great fighting spirit andare among the early title contend-ers for a swift return to the eliteleague.Like most of the National First
Division clubs, they were forcedto release some of their seniorplayers to accommodate the mini-mum number of five under-23players required by the PSL rulesto start matches. Initially theteamswere also expected to finishmatches with these five players,but after protests from the clubsthe PSL changed the rule whichnow allows them to replace threeduring the course of a game.

tal of R29 million has been raised forthe Cancer Association of South Afri-ca (Cansa). This year alone a grand to-tal of R3,1 million was raised. Themoney is used for cancer-preventionprogrammes and patient care.“It’s overwhelminghow this tourna-
ment just somehow gets bigger andbetter every year. This year we hosted796 competitions at 443 golf clubsaround the country with more than37 000 golfers supporting our cause inthe fight against cancer,” says SanlamGroupMarketing sponsorshipmanag-er, Gary van Loggerenberg.“This tournament is also the perfect
platform for the average golfer to
stand a chance in winning regional fi-nals and playing on world class cours-es such as the Gary Player Club andLost City course.“We have been very fortunate with
goodweatherand the courses areobvi-ously in excellent condition seeing asit is only a few weeks prior to the Ned-bank Golf Challenge,” Van Loggeren-berg added.Former Springbok winger Breyton
Paulse (SuperSport), Theo Esau (Kfm)and Craig Wilson (Compleat Golfermagazine) to name a few are all veryimpressed with the professional ap-proach of the tournament organisers.The attention to even the smallest
detail is what makes this event one ofthe highlights of the golfing calendar.The Big Easy, Ernie Els who is the
Champion of Hope for the tournamentsince 1993 is a big supporter of theevent. Don’t be surprised if the manhimself is at the tournament in the fu-ture.Werner Ferreira of Bredasdorp won
