Anew bid to have fireworks bannedfrom the Table View beachfront hasarisen as residents have voted in fa-
vour of serving the City of Cape Town withan interdict ahead of New Year’s Eve.
The interdict was tabled at the monthlyTable View Ratepayers’ Association(TVRA) meeting on Monday.
It followed an urgent motion to the ward23 committee last week where various con-cerns about Guy Fawkes Day were raised.The motion was tabled by committee mem-ber Mandy Da Matta who said the safety cri-teria set out by the City were not adheredto. According to a report tabled in subcoun-cil meetings there are various criteria fordesignated fireworks sites.
The requirements include that the siteneeds to be 100m from buildings and 500mfrom a petrol depot. In recent months TableView residents have cried foul over the des-ignation of the beachfront as a suitable siteand accused the municipality of flouting itsown regulations highlighting the location ofa petrol station at Marine Circle.
On Guy Fawkes Day, a fire broke out atRietvlei and according to an eye witness,she saw a Chinese lantern being lit at Dol-phin Beach outside the designated site andsaw it land in the vlei.
Speaking during the ward committeemeeting, chairperson and ward 23 council-lor Nora Grose said according to the reportsfrom various departments, the event wasconsidered the “most successful fireworkson the beachfront”.
“There were no incidents except for two.The accusations you made on social mediaI will not comment on. I do believe that theCity took a decision to approve those sitesand my motion will be that the sites remainso we can have control.”
A vote was taken on whether or not DaMatta’s motion be considered urgent. DaMatta and committee member Christiana
Groenewoud voted for it to be considered ur-gent, while Rhine Barnes of the NSRI andSmokie la Grange of the MelkbosstrandRatepayers’ Association (MRA) voted it notbe considered urgent. Grose voted it not beconsidered urgent breaking the deadlock ofthe committee and the meeting proceeded.
The vote caused a stir on social media,when Table View residents vented their an-ger towards the MRA vote. According toTVRA chairperson Leon Alhadeff the MRAvote at ward committee by default showedMelkbosstrand’s support for fireworks inTable View and “if they wanted it, theycould have it”.
Alhadeff has since written to La Grangeinforming her that the association will un-dertake an inspection to see whether or notMelkbosstrand met the safety require-ments.
In response, La Grange referred Alhadeffto an earlier statement by mayoral commit-tee member for safety and security JP Smiththat no other site had been identified.
Alhadeff’s proposal to have fireworksmoved to Melkbosstrand saw sparks fly onsocial media when his post was shared ona Melkbosstrand community Facebook
page. Here Melkbosstrand residents ques-tioned Alhadeff’s statements and called forfireworks to be banned. Melkbosstrand resi-dents have also started an online petitionstating they are against fireworks.
Following various concerns raised, Tyg-erBurger sent the City various questions.
Asked about the criteria listed in theCity’s report and how the Table View beach-front was considered a suitable site, Smithsays these criteria are “guidelines”.
“In other words, they serve to guide us toselect appropriate sites, assuming that wehave a choice between sites. In the case ofthe site on the Table View beachfront, noother alternative had been identified andtherefore we had no choice but to use thesite. We deployed a large contingent of staffto manage the situation on the ground andeven partnered with the local neighbour-hood watch organisations who assisted us.These steps and the very robust measureswe put in place all around the city resultedin a record low in terms of complaints.
“We will repeat this with New Year’s Eve.There are no moves afoot to change the sitefor New Year’s Eve as no alternative site hasyet been identified for the area.”

Christmas is a time of giving, sharing and car-ing. Christmas is a time when people opentheir hearts to those who don’t have.
For the last ten years, Elizabeth Viljoen hasput together a meal for the unfortunate inBrooklyn, Maitland and Milnerton.
This year she hopes to host a lunch at theMartin Adams Hall in Brooklyn on Thursday24 December and is calling for donations.
“If everyone in the community was to do-nate just a tin of beans, a lettuce or a R10 bagof mince, even just one potato, imagine whata special day we can give those in need.”
During search operations, 81 348 people,1 406 houses and 13 016 vehicles weresearched.
“As far as the houses go, these were main-ly premises where there have been reportsabout drug activity. Looking at the statis-tics you will see there were 453 drug opera-tions and 1 126 liquor premises inspected.”
Commenting on police performance inMelkbosstrand, station commander Ronitavan der Toorn explained for several monthsofficers were on the hunt for two men fromAtlantis and Mitchell’s Plain believed to bebehind various house break-ins. She report-ed that both men had been arrested in re-cent weeks and, following a plan to opposebail, both men have been remanded in cus-tody.
In Table View Warrant Officers NiekieKnoetzen and Riaan Prins received the clus-ter award for their daring arrest of threemen following a British American Tobacco(BAT) robbery. The incident occurred onThursday 9 July at the Engen garage inJanssens Avenue, and one of the robbers in-structed the driver to drive to a different lo-cation. Following a similar incident amonth earlier, where a BAT driver was in-structed to drive to Sultana Road, Knoetzenand Prins went to Sultana Road where they
found two of the three robbers.Meanwhile the third suspect, driving a
Mazda bakkie, sped away but was caught byComplex Patrols in Porcupine Way.
Speaking at the briefing, Jordaan said inthe cluster 357 people have been arrested forbeing in possession of a dangerous weaponand 88 individuals arrested for illegal fire-arms and ammunition. There were 3 461
drug arrests and 3 716 liquor related arrests.“Our biggest challenge is the use of drugs.
When people smoke tik they do all sorts ofthings and this often leads to an increase incrime. We need the community to come for-ward with information so we can investi-gate. There are various ways we can get thedealers without revealing the identities ofthose who report it.”

Flashing not from cameraMONIQUE DUVAL

Philadelphia police have raised thealarmabout the activities of sexwork-ers along Mamre Road. This follows
complaints about prostitutes flashing theirgenitals at passingmotorists and clients be-ing robbed.Speaking during a media briefing on the
Milnerton police cluster, Philadelphia po-lice station commander Captain FrederickRossouw warned men against making useof the services of prostitutes along MamreRoad.He explains in recent weeks several rob-
bery cases have been referred to Philadel-
phia police where men have reported beingrobbed while with a prostitute.Rossouw took TygerBurger on a site visit
last week where he explained the area notfar from the Wolwerivier Incremental De-velopment Area (IDA) and explains manyof the women are known for plying theirtrade near the Vissershok landfill.
Not as active at night“Many of them were moved to the IDA
and now use Mamre Road to do their busi-ness. They are not as active at night as theyare in the day and this road is very quietduring the day. But in peak periods whenpeople are travelling to schools in Melk-bosstrand they have to see these women
showing their private parts.”In many cases, prostitutes can only be ar-
rested if police go undercover, a trap is setand money is exchanged. Philadelphia po-lice say they are inundatedwith complaintsand have now resorted to charging thewomen with indecent exposure. Rossouwsays daily patrols are conducted and finesare issued when these incidents happen.He confirms there are both male and fe-
male prostitutes using Mamre Road andsays some of them come from Atlantis.“They operate with pimps who then rob themenor clients. Currentlywehave two caseswhere two pimps are on trial for these rob-beries andweneedpeople tounderstand thedanger they put themselves in when mak-ing use of these services.”He says during these robberies, the tar-
geted items include personal valuables likecellphones, money, wallets and laptops, butthe robbers do not take vehicles.
Victims don’t want to go on record“Sometimes the victims come to the sta-
tion and tell us what happened, but theydon’t want to open cases because they arescared of going to court and their familyfinding out what they did.”Shortly after Rossouw left, a truck was
seen stopping on the side of the road. Awoman got out of the truck and walked inthe direction of the N7. As TygerBurgerdrove past, she lifted her skirt exposingher-self.Speaking during the briefing cluster com-
mander Brigadier Aneeqah Jordaan ex-plained that as part of the festive seasonplan, police will be clamping down on theseactivities.“Men coming to pick up prostitutes must
realise the danger they put themselves in.During the festive season, the Milnertoncluster will be hosting various operationsfocussing on various hotspots and we willkeep a close eye onMamre Road,” she says.

Brackenfell Spar owner Johnny Forbes Sen-ior is the province’s and Namibia’s Mr Spar2015!
This was announced at the store’s recentannual meeting held at the Willowbridge’sBarnyard theatre.Forbes, owner of four Spar stores, said he
was overwhelmed when he heard he hadbeen awarded the title. “It’s a feeling in youthat there are hardly words to describe. Thisis an award I never thought I would receive.It is wonderful to know that something youdedicate your life to, as well as that of yourfamily, is rewarded.”
The prestigious award is the highest acco-lade for an individual within the group.
Johnny Forbes is essentially a family manand he andwife Isabelle have three children.Isabelle describes him as a wonderful hus-band and father.
“Firm with his children, but always want-ing the best for them, for their future.”
As a young boy, Johnny bred racing pi-geons. His working career eventually tookhimback to his birth town,Mahikeng,wherehe worked in a fish and chips shop, whichhe later bought and built up into the biggestsupermarket in the area.
In 1996 Johnny moved to Cape Town. Hewas in the Spar group for seven years whenhe decided to farm for five years. The retailbug had bitten a little too deeply though.
In 2007 Johnny bought Spar Old Oak inBellville. Today he owns four Spar stores –Old Oak, Protea Heights and Vredekloof(both in Brackenfell) and Spar Oudtshoorn.“Johnny is always busy with a new idea
or changing something,” says Isabelle.He and sons Johnny Junior and Henk re-
cently completed major revamps at ProteaHeights andmore recently atOldOak. ProteaHeights was the regional store of the yearthis year.“He is a hard worker, and allows himself
very little time to rest. He would sleep atwork, if he could!” Isabelle says, and is alsodeeply respected by his colleagues, she says.
‘Mr Spar’ title a big surprise

As the year draws to an end, a Rich-wood mother says she is unsure ifher son will attend school in the
new year.Anza Van Wyk, a divorced mom, says
over the last seven months she has beenunsuccessful in registering her child inany of the local schools near her home.
Her son, Devlin, attended MilnertonPrimary School and she was advised toenrol her son early at local high schools.“I am divorced and do not have a driv-
er’s licence. We rely on public transportand as there are only three buses totown,my sonmade use of the shuttle ser-vice from Richwood to Milnerton. I ap-plied at Milnerton High School for thisreason to ensure that my son has a safeway of travelling to school.”
Anza says she also applied at Bos-mansdam High School but was told byboth schools that her son had beenplaced on a waiting list.
“I have received letters that my son ison thewaiting list, howeverpupils livingin Atlantis and Malmesbury have beenaccepted. I have been told schools mustaccommodate pupils closest to wherethey live,” she says.
Van Wyk explains she then contactedthe Western Cape Education Depart-ment (WCED) for assistance but says anofficial “shrugged her off”.
“He just told me if the schools werefull, they’re full and didn’t helpme to un-derstand what my options were. I mean–will one child actually make that muchof a difference, and what am I supposedto do in this situation?We can’t even buya school uniform or make any prepara-tions for the new year.”
Van Wyk says both schools have notindicated whether or not her son’s appli-cation was successful but only stated he
was on a waiting list.According to Jessica Shelver, spokes-
person for provincial education minis-ter Debbie Schäfer, schools determinetheir own policies and there is a formalappeal process that parents can follow ifthey believe that a school has contra-vened their constitutional rights.She explains for the 2015 academic
year, Bosmansdam High School accept-ed 172 pupils andMilnerton High School224 pupils in Grade 8.“These schools apply their own admis-
sion policies. Bosmansdam acceptsmany pupils from Richwood and Sum-mer Greens. Both these areas do nothave high schools. Milnerton receivesmany more applications than they canaccommodate. The admission policy al-lows them to accept a percentage oflearners on merit (often these learnerswill be accepted from further away).
“Applying in May is late for theseschools which are schools of choice. Thefirst round of applications this yearstarted in March and schools like Bos-mansdam and Milnerton High Schoolsare often oversubscribed by the end ofthat first period.”
Responding to questions about the ac-ceptance of pupils fromMalmesburyandAtlantis, Shelver explains schools canand do accept pupils from these areas.
“If parents from these areas apply ear-ly enough, nothing prevents the schoolfrom accepting such pupils if the admis-sion policy allows. In the Western Cape,feeder areas were not declared forschools. Parents from all areas have theright to apply to their school(s) of choice.Parents closer to the school may findthat they will not be admitted if they ap-ply late and the school had accepted themaximum number of learners.”She advises VanWyk to apply at other
schools and says thedistrict officialswillassist.

Valencia fights back by cooking

MONIQUE DUVAL@monique_duval
After a three-year battle with a brain tu-mour, Valencia Kishende (12) fromAt-lantis hashad one of her greatestwish-
es come true.On Saturday her family were treated to a
fun day out at the Lagoon Beach Hotel whileValencia, an aspiring chef, got the opportu-nity to work in a professional kitchen underexecutive chef Peter Anderson.Making Valencia’s dream come true was
achieved through a partnership between thehotel and the Reach for a Dream foundation.Valencia’s father, Ryan Eric Mbala, says
formost of her life she had been a happy andhealthy little girl, but one day suddenly fellill. He says after several visits to a hospitalin Johannesburg,manydoctors could not di-agnose her.“She couldn’t eat andwas sick all the time.
She lived with her mother in Johannesburgand I worked here in Cape Town. For a longtime I was very worried and I thought shewould die. Eventually a doctor diagnosedher with a brain tumour.”Mbala explains the little girl has under-
gone two operations to have the tumour re-moved and the family opted to relocate toAt-lantis where she now receives treatment atthe Red Cross Children’s Hospital.As Valencia and her siblings splash
around in the hotel’s pool, their dad says heis not surprised that his daughter wants tobe a chef. “She spends a lot of time watchingher mother cook and I always knew she wasinterested in cooking. After all the familyhas been through, I am happy that we cansit here today and our child is happy andhealthy again.”Speaking toTygerBurger, Valencia proud-
ly shows off the pizza she made with Ander-son. “Today Imade a pizza formy family andI really like cooking. I am just waiting to goback and make desert. The chef is nice andhe helped me,” she says.Valencia also received her very own chef
jacket with her name embroidered on thefront from the hotel.As the hotel buzzes with activity, Ander-
son comes to check on the family as they en-joy a lunch sponsored by the hotel.“You worked so hard today and you

A man admitted to the Tygerberg hospitaltrauma unit with bleeding private parts lastMonday had to wait more than 60 hours be-fore he was seen by a specialist.Most of this time, says Zipho Langa (22)
from Philippi, was spent on a chair in thewaiting area while he had severe stomachcramps and bled after an injury at work.
“I was scared that I might bleed rightthrough my jeans. I kept thinking about theconsequences (of the injury),” he says.Langa sayshe sawa lot of peoplewith stab-
and gunshot wounds, who had to sit onchairs also while waiting to be tended to.After two nights on a chair in the waiting
area, hewas taken for scans andwas allowedto sleep in a bed between 01:00 and 06:00 be-fore he had to hand it over to another pa-tient. On Thursday he saw a urologist, was
taken to theatre, fitted with a catheter anddischarged. Langa says he is better now, de-spite going home with an infection.According to Laticia Pienaar, spokesper-
son of Tygerberg hospital, the trauma unitsaw close to 100 cases on that evening.“These patients ranged from minor inju-
ries to critically ill patients. According tothe SATS (the triage system) all patients pre-sented to the trauma unit will be assessedand those who are triaged red and orange
will have preference over those triaged yel-low and green. Langa was triaged as yellowand his condition was not life threatening,”she says.Pienaar says unfortunately resources
have to be directed to those who require life-saving intervention. This makes it impossi-ble for everyone in this unit to have a bed.“Langa arrived at the trauma section at
approximately 20:40. He was seen by a trau-ma doctor at 21:15.”

As Cape Town tightens up onwater restrictions, it is time tolook at desalination as along-term measure to improveour water supply.One opportunity going
begging is the Koeberg powerstation. Nuclear reactorsactually produce a lot morewaste heat than electricity andthe scandal is that we don’tuse the “free” heat to desali-nate sea water and make animportant contribution to thiswater scarce country.It is standard practice to run
desalination plants run intandem with power stations inthe Middle East to producemost of the water for thedesert countries and even towater golf courses. Why don’twe do it here?The answer is probably that
Eskom and the City Councilnever spoke to each otherwhen Koeberg was planned.The other desalination option
is reverse osmosis, anotherwidely used technology. If theglobal warming prophets ofdoom are even half right wewill need both of these technol-ogies in the future, so thesooner we start and get togrips with the technology, themore we will learn and thebetter decisions we will makewhen it is time to upscale thedesalination plants.

I have just read the article“Fined for praying”, TB, 2December. As a resident ofSheridan Street I have a hugeproblem with parking. We havea school directly opposite ourhouse and motor vehicles stopand park in front of my houseas well as opposite my drive-way. I can neither enter or exit

my driveway at most times.I must say that the congrega-
tion of the Methodist church isalways accommodating and willeither ask if they could park infront of my place, or will leavea gap in front of my driveway.Another problem is that there
is a youth club at the school onFriday evenings and they parkdirectly opposite my drivewayas well.Sheridan street is a night-
mare! I conclude that Sheridanstreet is far too narrow andurge the authorities to considerit a one-way street.

Keep furryfriends cooland hydratedWhile many Capetonians are revelling inthe warmer weather, it’s important tospare a thought for our furry friends thistime of year.Just like humans have to take care,
animals are exposed to a myriad ofhealth concerns in the summer months.Heatstroke, for example, can be fatal to
some dogs, and dogs with short snouts orlong hair are among the more pronebreeds. The obvious tip when it comes toheat is to not leave animals in the car,yet still, many do. According to theSPCA, temperatures inside a car canreach up to 47 degrees in an hour, evenwhen it’s just 22 degrees outside.Many people are unaware of the effect
of hot surfaces on little paws. Surfaceslike tar, metal and even sand absorb heatand can stay warm for hours after thesun has gone down, which could poten-tially burn the pads on the underside of apet’s paws.A good test is to hold the back of your
hand against the surface for about 10seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it will betoo hot for an animal.Pets, particularly lighter ones, are
susceptible to sunburn, just like humans.While making sure they have a coolshady place to escape the sun remainsthe best option, many vets stock petsunscreens.And because all “good boys” deserve a
treat, why not fill a two litre ice creamtub with water and treats, freeze it, andwatch your pet enjoy hours of fun andcooling while they lick through the ice.

Met meer as 10 000 YouTube-kyke virhaar tweede enkelsnit se musiekvi-deo, beloof die Durbanville-sanger
Suzanne se nuwe album om propvol trefferste wees.
Suzanne, wat gehorevanaf die ouderdom van10 al betower, het on-langs haar sesde album,Vuurbestand, bekendge-stel.
Die album is deur Tom-my Tucker Studios opge-neem, terwyl Die Heu-wels Fantasties se Fredden Hartog die vervaar-diging behartig het.
Suzanne sê hy verdienalle eer vir die klank vandie produksie. “Hy hetvanaf die beginfase ’n vi-sie gehad wat baie goedingepas het by my per-soonlike smaak en styl.”Vuurbestand bevat
baie elemente van die80’s en 90’s wat Suzannesê baie goed op die oorval, “maar dit het tog ’nvars en unieke klank”.
Hoewel Fred sy eie stempel op die albumafgedruk het, het hy ook gesorg dat die stylsteeds baie goed by elke liedjie pas.
“Ek hoop om in die toekoms weer saam methom te kan werk.”
Nog ’n persoon saam met wie Suzanne opVuurbestand gewerk het, is haar man, Jaco-bus Uys. Dié paartjie het baie van die liedjies

casewill see endurance athletesDavid Grier and Andy Stuartrace against jockeys Gillese deVilliers, Taryn Peters andMicah Antrobus on horseback.All proceeds collected as a re-
sult of this initiative will be do-nated to Operation Smile,through which corrective sur-gery is performed on childrenborn with cleft lips and palates.The other beneficiary is Sav-
ing the Survivors, which aimsto fund corrective facial surger-ies on injured rhinos.According to Grier (manag-
ing trustee of the Cipla Founda-tion), this race, which begins on1 December, will cover a dis-tance of 800 kmover 16 days andwill take place along the WestCoast of Cape Town.“The ultimate physical and
mental endurance race for manand horse alike, this initiativeis geared to raise funds andawareness for the plight of chil-drenbornwith cleft lips andpal-ates as well as rhinos who havesurvived poaching attacks and
sustained facial injury.”Grier says one in 700 children
in Africa is born with a cleft lipor palate and one in 10 babiesborn with this condition doesnot see their first birthday.“Malnutrition, medical and
psychological problems alsocompound theproblem.Life canbe a difficult and complicatedplace for children and not beingable to smile shouldn’t have tolimit their experience of theworld.”He adds approximately 1964
rhinos have been killed bypoachers since the beginning of2014 to date.“Rhino poaching has reached
a crisis point in the country andif the killing continues at thisrate, we could see rhino deathsovertaking births between 2016and 2018.“There are many rhinos that
survive the brutal poaching oftheir horns and Saving the Sur-vivors, established in 2012, iscommitted to rescuing andmed-ically treating injured rhinosand endangered species by per-forming life-saving correctivesurgeries.”V The official trailer for Man vs Beastcan be viewed here: https://goo.gl/HZHNjLogistics

Tygerberg mountain bike club memberPaul Jacobs will participate as a soloparticipant in the Nedbank Desert
Dash challenge in Namibia on 11 December.The race starts inWindhoek and finishes 369km and 24 hours later in Swakopmund,crossing the world’s oldest desert.
His inspiration and motivation for at-tempting such a challenge is Abundant LifePalliative Care.
Established in 2009, Abundant Life(www.abundantlifevic.org) run by Sister Pi-tout and Dr Cupido, has cared for more than1 600 patients. They care for those who areterminally ill providing dignity and peace ofmind for patient and family alike. However,operating on a very limited budget, they arelartgely dependant on donations and volun-teers. Currently based at Victoria hospital,their dream is to grow the organisation andestablish anAbundant Life at every hospitalthroughout the country.
Having recently met Sister Pitout and Dr.Cupido in person, Paul says hewas instantlyconvinced that helping them to help otherswould and had to be his mission.
“There are numerous charities out thereand someenjoymore support thanothers forvarious reasons. This organisation howeverhas touched me personally,”he says.
“In a bid to shed light on and raise fundsfor Abundant Life: I am embarking on whatis certainly my toughest physical (and men-tal) challenge to date (the Desert Dash).When my legs turn to jelly and my mindstarts failingme, it’s the thought of theworkdone at Abundant Life for those in despairthat will not only offer a clear perspective,butmotivateme to continue towards the fin-ish line.”
A crowdfunding account where donations
can be made in support of this most noblecause has been set up.“Please donate and share the link with as
many as possible to help make a true differ-ence to our fellow cyclists/compatriots andhumankind in their final sprint to the finishline,” says Jacobs.“All donations, big or small are, very
much appreciated.V Visit https://gogetfunding.com/cyclingforabundantlife/ to make a contribution.

There is no stopping a high-flying Glen-thorn A’s side from clinching their fifthconsecutive league crown this season.They beat a determined Westridge Yan-
kees from Mitchell’s Plain 2-1 in a CapeTown Softball Association Super Leagueencounter at Turfhall Stadium on Satur-day. With the Glenthorn side still sportingan unbeaten run to date, the team tops thetable with 29 points from nine games.But they may yet have ended on the re-
ceiving end as Yankees with bases loadedin the sixth inningshadan ideal opportuni-ty to score a fury of runs and nail A’s.But with Yankees leaving nine of their
runners stranded between bases in com-parison to Glenthorn’s five, Yankees couldonly blame themselves.It was a close and tight game with Yan-
kees right outfielder Shinnay Erasmusproviding the highlight of the game in thefifth frame with her splendid runningcatch to dismiss Cindy Davids.Nonetheless, Glenthorn pitcher Lauren
Mulderheldhernerve andpitched a steady
game with a well marshalled field that as-sisted her in registering a 2-1 victory, con-sidering that Yankees loaded the bases inthe sixth frame but their runners were leftstranded due to poor batting.
Mulder, in her six inning contest, faced28 batters, claimed six scalps, allowed fivebase-on-ball while she gave up five singlehits to Charmelle Whiteboy (2-2), CandiceBull, Glynis Koopman (each 1-2) and ZeonaDearham (1-3). Yankees pitcher Megan Ca-ble put up a brave fight against the Glen-thorn batters and also earned six strikeouts in her six innings contest.
Cable faced 22 batters, allowed two base-on-ball and conceded five hits (4 singlesand a triple) of which Courtney Stevens(1-1), Astrid van Kresteren, Jean Bell, LisaErasmus (each 1-2) and Carla Swanepool(1-3), who clobbered a three bagger, fea-tured among the hits for Glenthorn.V In the other Super League games second-placed Falcons (22 points) recorded a 12-2win over VOB while St Martin’s won theirassignment 11-4 against Normies. Tantas-port rose to the occasionwith a resounding11-2 victory against Kenfac Phillies.

After weeks of coming second best in closegames against opponents above them on theBAWP major league table, Westridge didwell to beat Crusaders 8-5 at the StephanReagan Oval in Mitchell’s Plain on Satur-day.Even though Crusaders accumulated
more hits off Westridge’s two pitchers –Dean Martin (2.2 Inn, 6 Hits, 5 Runs) andJayson Ripepi (6.1 Inn, 2 Hits, 0 Runs) – itwas the 14 base on balls by their three pitch-ers – JarrodWilliams (5.1 Inn, 3Hits, 3 Runs,7 BB), Sergio Thomas (1 Inn, 1 Hit, 0 Runs,4 BB) and Kyle van der Ross (1.2 Inn, 1 Hit,4 Runs, 3 BB) – that came back to bite them.Westridge scored four runs in the second
innings, three in the seventh and a singlerun in the eighth. Crusaders scored all oftheir runs in the third innings.Ripepi did really well to shut out Crusad-
ers in his pitching stint. He also hit a solohome run which contributed immensely tothe team’s victory. Luwayne du Plessis andGwyn Petersen were the other hitters fromWestridge who made notable contributions.Crusaders’ best hitters were AidenO’Con-
nor, Jamie Mauritz and Leeroy Adriaanse.Wesley Rushin from Westridge was eject-
ed from the game in the eighth inning forshowing unsporting behaviour.
Pitchers dominateA dominant pitching performance by CarlMichaels (8 Inn, 1 Run, 5 Hits) helped Athlo-ne A’s secure a hard-fought victory of 3-1over archrivals Durbanville.
Michaels was well-supported on the offen-sive side by the Moosa brothers, Riyaad (2-4and 2 stolen bases) and Faizel (1-4, 2B hit, 3RBIs). It was Faizel’s game-winning two-base hit in the sixth inning that accounted
for the three runs by the A’s. Lloyd Stevensgot the last three outs only facing the hitters.Durbanville failed to take advantage of
four errors by the A’s. Both teams left fiverunners on base.
KILLARNEY: CLASSIC 9HOUR WITH INTERNATIONAL STARS

The news that double world sports carchampion Jan Lammers is beingteamed with South African legend
Sarel van der Merwe and Dr Greg Mills ina G55 Ginetta in the Africa 9-Hour endur-ance race at Killarney on Saturday, hasgiven the event prime international status.With probably more competitive experi-
ence than any visiting driver since thenorthern suburbs circuit was opened in1960, theDutchveteranhasprovedover theyears that he is more of a top class mara-thon runner than a sprinter.The result has been that although he
spentmany seasons inFormula 1with less-er known teams like Shadow, ATS, Ensignand the ill-fated Theodore squad, his great-est successes have been in long distancesports car events.These included a victory in the prestig-
ious LeMans 24-Hour race in 1988 in a SilkCut Jaguar. Lammers was the senior part-ner and the teamensured that he remainedat the wheel for more than 13 hours. Theremaining time was split between histeammates, Lord Johnny Dumfries andAndy Wallace.Achieved despite a defective gearbox, it
wasnot only Jaguar’s first LeMans victorysince 1957, but also broke a six year run ofsuccess for the previously dominant Por-sche team.Lammers also occupied the top step of
the podium after two victories (1988 and1990), in America’s premier endurancerace, the Daytona 24-Hour.As Sarel van der Merwe is also a previ-
ous Daytona 24-Hour winner (1984), Lam-mers remarked when asked that althoughhe has never had Supervan as a co-driver,
theyhave competed against one another onseveral occasions. The most notable ofthese was at Le Mans in 1988 when Jandrove the winning Jaguar and Sarel was atthe wheel of one of the Porsches that wasnot far behind.On Saturday the fastest cars at Killarney
are going tohave to completemore than 300laps atmaximum speed. Pit stopswill haveto be made for driver changes, new tyres
and refueling. In addition, while Formula1 cars are only stationary for a few seconds,less experienced crewswithout specialisedequipment could be kept busy for severalminutes.The Ginetta’s main opposition is likely
to come from Charl and Harry Arangies intheir Ferrari F360 and a sleek Juno SS3 inthe hands of local champions Francis Car-ruthers and Nick Adcock.
The field includes entries that vary frompowerful V8s to 1.8 Golfs and a lone 1600ccToyota Corolla, ensuring that the frontrunners are going have to negotiate peri-ods of traffic congestion.As the race will only start at noon, the
race will be run in the dark for more thanan hour and – possibly more disconcerting– driving straight into the setting sun oncertain sections of the track.
