These issues were highlighted at a safety and security meeting last Tuesday at the Hazendal Crèche in Kuils Roa called to try and find a way forward to minimise social ills in the area. According to police, the area is divided and there are eight gangs. A resident who wishes to remain anony- mous, says the meeting was called after the latest spate of violence in the area. On Friday 15 April an explosive device was thrown at a house in Bokmakierie (“Explo- sion rattles family”, People’s Post, 19 April.) According to residents, the explosive de- vice was thrown at the house because a youth who lives there had decided to withdraw from a gang and that’s why his grandparents’ home was targeted. “It is shocking that youth would target someone’s family,” says another resident, who also wishes to remain anonymous. “Anyone could have been injured in that house, and we need to do something to stop this violence from escalating. Now that the youth is trying to reform his life his family is being targeted. There was another incident where a group of youth beat up a man who is still in hospital with a broken arm and head injuries.” He says that although there are eight gangs in Bokmakierie, the youth be- longing to the gangs can only do “what the community allows them to do”. Walter Daniels, a resident, says he has wit- nessed how destructive young people are. “We don’t know what the future holds, but we see how destructive our children have be- come. Being a soccer coach I see how children react to different situations; they become ag- gressive and use vulgar language, showing signs with their hands because that is what they see around them. “Listening to the concerns of the parents at the meeting was really sad. Youth are unem- ployed, which results in poverty, and then they are faced with gangsterism and drugs.” He says the community must pray and be- lieve that the situation will get better. “We put our faith in God and we need to make children understand that there are oth- er activities that will better and fulfil their lives, such as school, sport, going to church and mosque.” Warrant Officer Ian Bennett, Athlone po- lice spokesperson, says police will continue to clamp down on drug houses in the area. “We are continuously raiding known drug dens in the area. We also need the residents to report people who are busy with wrong ac- tivities.” He says one of the biggest challeng- es are parents who are not encouraging chil- dren to attend school. “Parents need to tell their children that at- tending school is important as education will make them the best that they can be.” Bennett says one of the solutions to the problem is creating recreational activities for children. “This would be a good project for parents who are unemployed to create af- ter-school programmes. This will bring down crime, gang activity and teenage pregnan- cies, which are a huge problem. Churches, mosques and various organisation also need to become involved.” He added that the police also have a support group for drug addicts and their parents weekly if anyone needs assistance. Daniels added that all the issues must be broken up and the relevant roleplayer called in to assist. A follow-up meeting will take place soon to discuss proper solutions for the community of Bokmakierie. To report any crime, send an email to ath- [email protected] or send an SMS to 082 378 9018.

He also said that two of the suspects had tried to bite away the skin on their fingers to prevent their fingerprints being taken. According to Chandler, the accused used their numbers to their advantage when shoplifting. “They’ll line up side by side and walk into a store and grab what they can so that any- body who tries to stop them won’t be able to stop all of them,” said Chandler.

DRUGS, crime, gangsterism, an in-crease in teenage pregnancy andchildren refusing to go to school

are some of the problems which arehaunting the Bokmakierie community.

These issues were highlighted at a safetyand security meeting last Tuesday at theHazendal Crèche in Kuils Roa called to tryand find a way forward to minimise social illsin the area. According to police, the area isdivided and there are eight gangs.

Red tape threatens community gardenTAMMY PETERSEN

A COMMUNITY garden created by lo-cals tired of living in filth is under

threat from the City of Cape Town’s landinvasion unit.

The green patch, situated on SilverstreamRoad in Manenberg, was the brainchild ofOwen Paul and Christopher Damon from theenvironment sector of Proudly Manenberg.

They started the garden in March last yearbut recently received a warning letter fromthe unit after deciding to fence the garden toprotect the plants.

“We got tired of the dirt lying all over ourarea,” Damon says. “People were constantlycomplaining that there is dumping on everyopen space available. We decided that some-thing should be done and the open plot wasour first project.

“It was covered in everything from branch-es to building rubble and with the help ofneighbours and friends we cleared up thewhole mess.”

Paul says they then approached ward coun-cillor Faiza Adams to obtain permission toplant a garden on the cleared field.

“She told us she would speak to the councilofficials and get back to us. Ons wag nou nog,”he says.

After waiting a month for feedback, the duoplanted trees and smaller plants on the plot.

“Everyone living around there was veryhappy with what we were doing. The rats andsnakes that used to infest the people’s yardswere gone and the spot was looking betterthanever. The residentswere impressedwiththe progress and made an effort to keep thearea clean,” Damon continues.

After months of maintaining the area, theynoticed the plants were being damaged bypeople who were walking over them.

“We put tyres up to cordon off the area andthe plants started to thrive again. But in latermonths, we saw that people were starting to

throw their dirt there again, which would af-fect all the hard work we and the communityhad put into it.”

Damon and Paul then approached ProudlyManenberg for material to fence the sectionof the property where the garden was thriv-ing, and last week put up poles which wouldbe followed by a mesh wire fence.

“But last Friday, the anti-land invasionunit rocked up here and told us what we weredoing is illegal and that we had 48 hours toremove the fencing we were trying to erect,”Damon says. “We explained to them that wehad asked our councillor for permission andthat she was supposed to come back to uswith feedback which she had failed to do.They told us to go back to her for a way for-ward or they would demolish everything onthe site.”

The duo says they visited the councillor’soffice the next Monday but she was not avail-able. “We left a message for her to contact usbut she failed to do so. We then went to herhouse that evening and she told us to go tothe Fezeka subcouncil office for forms to ap-ply for permission to use the land.”

When People’s Post accompanied the twomen to the office on Wednesday, they weretold that their councillor should apply to theCity on their behalf, whereafter the matterwould be raised at subcouncil level for ap-proval. “This will most probably take monthsbecause of the hindrance the upcoming elec-tions is causing to the subcouncil agenda.Thenext meeting will be in August,” an officialexplained.

Paul says he is “very angry” because whatstarted out as a good deed is being seen as“something criminal”. “This City does noth-ing to keep Manenberg clean. We live in dirtand when we use our initiative to improveour living conditions, we are made to looklike bad guys. If this garden is not fenced, itwill be destroyed and all our hard work willgo down the drain. What can we do now?”

Adams confirms that the two contacted her

about clearing up the rubble.“I never told them they could put up any

fenceon theproperty. I did ask the subcouncilmanager if they were allowed to do so, but hesaid they must get official permission fromcouncil to do that.”

The duo has since visited their local ANCoffice, which applied for a grace period whilea formal application is processed.

Steve Hayward, the head of the City’s Anti-Land Invasion Unit, says the application hasbeen received and is being considered bycouncil’s housing directorate, which owns

the land. “Until then, no further developmentcan take place on this property. The directo-rate will reach a decision once an investiga-tion has taken place and people have hadtheir say surrounding the land. The unit willnot be removing anything until this decisionhas been communicated,” he says.

Hayward explains that activity can onlytake place on council property if permissionhas been received.

“The final decision lies with the housingauthority. If they give the go-ahead, the activ-ity can be continued.”

Blind man braces for winter stormsREYANA STEYN

KEVIN Worship is not the type of per-son to feel sorry for himself, but the

prospect of another bleak and wet win-ter all by himself is not particularly ap-pealing.

Worship (46) has been blind since the ageof 12, and lives in a cramped, derelict corru-gated iron shack in his mother’s home inTarentaal Road, Bridgetown.

His plight was brought to the attention ofPeople’s Post by a community worker Char-maine Less, and we interviewed him in histiny, stuffy shack, which reeked of mouldand dust.

During the interview, Worship wasforced to bend his tall frame in the lowshack, which appears as if it will cave in atany time (a pole props it up) as he walked

across the cold cement floor,which is full of holes, using hiscane to guide him.

Close to his bed, Worship hassix plastic buckets on standby incase it rains through his brokenroof.

“I’ve been living like this for 30years,” he says. “I went blindwhen I was 12 years old. The doc-tor said I had retina problems. Itwas difficult growing up, but I ac-cepted it. I don’t pity myself – I’ma very positive person.”

Worship walks wherever hewants to go to with the use of acane, and seldom uses publictransport.

“I may be blind, but I still ap-preciate the things in life that Iam capable of doing, like walk-ing. I walk to Athlone and Ronde-bosch, and if I want to visit mytwo children in Grassy Park, Iuse public transport.”

He says his girlfriend and twochildren cannot live with him due to the con-dition of his home, and he cannot live withthem because they are living in a room at herparents’ house and there is no space for him.

“I miss my family and I wish they could behere with me, but the conditions I live inmake it impossible. I speak to them on thephone as much as I can.”

He says he tries to “make do” with the disa-bility grant he receives, but he barely sur-vives and there is no money to fix his home.

Worship has tried to improve his situation.His mother, an emotional Marie

Magdalene Worship, says she feels horriblethat she can’t help her son.

“As a pensioner it’s difficult. I too am strug-gling and I help him where I can, but unfortu-

nately we were never able to assist withhis home. It’s sad for me to see the condi-tion of the place where he stays, but myhands are tied.”

Shireen Samuels, Worship’ssister, says he asked her for helptoo. “If I could, I would havehelped him, but I am not workingnow. Only my husband is work-ing and I have my two childrento see to. I am concerned abouthim and I wish I could help him.”

In desperation, Worship wentto the ANC office in the CBD forassistance.

“I don’t want to be a nuisanceto anyone, but I can’t go throughanother winter in this place.Buckets are placed around myhome to catch the rain when theroof leaks. I even have to sleepwith a bucket on the bed or thebed will be soaked.”

Less, who works at the ANC of-fice, was touched by Worship’splight.

“I lie awake in bed and think about himand his living conditions. It was raininglast week and I thought about him andhow he would be able to cope with therain.

“I always used to see him walking inAthlone, but I had no idea what hewas going through until he had thecourage to come to me and ask forassistance.”

She says the ANC will be speak-ing to the local social developmentoffice to see how they can assist

Worship.Elize Marais, the office, project and

events coordinator of the Cape Town Socie-ty for theBlind inSaltRiver, says thatwhile

“it’s a pity” that Worshiphas waited so long, there isstill assistance for him toempower himself.

“We offer computer andcane training. He wouldhave to make an appoint-ment to meet our place-ment officer and an inter-viewwouldbe conducted tosee what he is best at andwhat his interests are.”

She says they often findthat blind people are beg-ging at robots, or are beingexploited by people to col-lect money for them.

“It’s sad, but it is a realitythat they are being abusedin that way.

“We try and help them tothe best of our ability, but they must be will-ing to need assistance.”

Anyone who can help Worship with thestructure of his home and ensure that hedoesn’t face another winter in a water-logged shack can contact him on084 952 7791 or Less on (021) 697-4183.

Man robbedon highwayREYANA STEYN

AN ELDERLY man was robbed byarmed men after he went to the

aid of his daughter whose car had bro-ken down on the highway.

“The incident happened on Monday 18April at 06:00 on the N2, close to the Ath-lone turn-off,” says Warrant Officer IanBennett, Athlone police spokesperson.

Douglas Minnie (61) sayshe went to assist his daugh-ter, who had been taking herhusband to work when theyhad car trouble on the N2.

“Shephonedmeand Iwentto assist her. She took my carand took her husband towork while I waited at hercar.

“I was standing next to thecar waiting for assistancewhen I saw two young menwalking across the bridgefrom Athlone onto the N2.

“They walked towards me and askedme for a cigarette.I told them: ‘I don’thave one.’

“One of them asked me where I lived,while the other one walked to the otherside of the car and began scratching inthe car. I asked what he was doing andhe said he was taking the radio becausethey needed money.”

Minnie says he tried to grab the manto stop him from taking the radio whenthe other man pushed him. He pushedback and a scuffle broke out. “One ofthe men took out a screwdriver, whilethe other had his hands under hisjacket and kept saying he was goingto shoot me,” says Minnie.

“Then one picked up a brick from theground and hit me over the head with it,then threw it at me. I fell to the groundand when I looked up, I saw them run-ning away with the radio.”

Minnie says when his daughter re-turned she was shocked at what had hap-pened.

She returned with a tow-truck and thecar was towed away.

The injured man reported the matter atAthlone police station andreceived medical attention.

“People must be carefulwhen they get stuck on theroad, because it could havebeen worse. I didn’t thinkwhen the two guys ap-proached me that they weregoing to rob me.”

Bennett says people mustensure that their cars are ingood condition.

“Cars can break down atany time, but vehicles must

be in a roadworthy condition. Criminalswill target people who are in a vulnerableposition, like being stuck on the side ofthe road.

“Motorists must be vigilant especiallywhen travelling. They should also call forassistance before they step out of the ve-hicle.”

Anyone with information on the twomen who robbed Minnie is urged to con-tact the police station on (021) 697-9238 orCrime Stop on 08600 10111.

Mystery reality showshot in TokaiLIAM MOSES

BEING trapped in an aban-doned mental hospital fortwo days and subjected tostrenuous mental andphysical tests may seemlike a nightmare to mostpeople, but 12 Cape Townresidents volunteered forit.

A reality show called“Whodunnit?” saw contest-ants overcoming mental andphysical challenges to winR1 000, bragging rights andpossibly fame, should theshow be taken up by a televi-sion station.

“Whodunnit?” is a crossbetween the reality televi-sion series “Survivor” and a murder mys-tery role play in which one competitor isthe “killer” while the other 11 try to stayalive and follow clues to solve the case.

Director Jacques Brown says the con-testants were removed from their com-fort zones and tested in every way duringfilming. “I think it was very challengingfor the contestants,” says Brown.

“It was emotionally, physically andphysiologically challenging because theydidn’t have comfortable beds to sleep in,there weren’t any doors or windows inthe asylum and they had difficult tests tocomplete.” The show was filmed in theabandoned mental asylum in Tokai For-est, and contestants faced challengessuch as paintball wars, an archery com-petition and freeing themselves after be-ing tied up. The challenge winners re-ceived either a clue to help them find thekiller or “safe house” status, which grant-ed them immunity from the killer and theright to choose the next victim.

According to Brown, the show’s unusu-al format and unique cinematographymake it unlike any reality show seen inSouth Africa.

“I think it’s exciting and different toother reality shows,” said Brown.

“I don’t want to give too much away,

but I’ll say that the way we shot it is differ-ent to what people will see in other realityseries. The other shows are just focusedon the contestants. It will be more inter-esting visually.”

Brown says the show was made evenmore riveting by the fact that viewerscould try and work out who the killer waswhile watching the contestants compete.

“I think people should watch it becausethey can try to figure it out themselvesand they can watch the contestants asthey try to do the same thing.”

The entire programme was filmed on abudget of R5 000.

Brown and his co-producer, ChrisSpinas, have not yet approached anybroadcasters to air the showbut are confi-dent about finding a channel once theyhave edited all 11 episodes.

This is the second version of “Whodun-nit?” to be filmed.

The original was filmed and aired inthe US in 2010 by Cody McCollum, afriend of Spinas. McCollum then allowedSpinas and Brown to film the series aslong as they called the show by the samename and used the same theme song.

Learning is key at LofobMELISSA LE ROUX

THE League of the Friends of the Blind (Lofob)inGrassyParkheld a special event onTuesday19 April to thank to Pep Stores for a generousR40 000 donation.

Established in the 1930s, Lofobhasdedicateddecades of service to blind and partially-sight-ed people of all ages.

At the event, held at Lofob, guests were giv-ena sneakpreviewof the latest equipment thathad been bought using the Pep donation. Theequipment will be used as part of the EarlyChildhood Development (ECD) programme tofurther enrich the lives of blind and partially-sighted children.

The ECD programme follows the same for-mat as that taught to children at a regular pre-school; however, the pupils’ lessons will betaught in braille.

“Education is key – it is still a part of ourmission and part of all the work that we dohere,” says Lofob executive director, PhilipBam. ECD teacher, Benita Petersen, adds:“One of the most important objectives in theprogramme is developing a child, to get himor her ready for school.

“We need to instil the importance of brailleinto children at an early age. They have con-versations, they spell words – it’s all part oflearning.”

Second chance for failed matricsMELISSA PAPIER

THE Metro South Education Dis-trict (MSED) of the Western Cape

Education Department (WCED) hasannounced its plans to assist Grade 12pupils who failed last year. The MSEDsaid last Wednesday that the depart-ment will be rolling out a programmeto encourage unsuccessful 2010 ma-triculants to successfully completetheir matric this year as full-time can-didates.

Glen van Harte, the MSED curriculummanager, says the district’s matric passrate last year was 76%.

“This means that 1 600 pupils failed toreceive their matric certificate.

What we found was that many of thesepupils failed by 1% to 3% and we can’t af-ford to let these pupils slip through thesystem.

“It is our view in the district that wemust allow these pupils a second chanceat obtaining this precious certificate,” hesaid.

This opportunity is only for pupilswithin theMetroSouthDistrict,which in-cludes Mitchell’s Plain, Lower Cross-roads, Philippi, Nyanga, Brown’s Farm,Retreat, Lotus River, Grassy Park, Wyn-berg, Lavender Hill, Fish Hoek, OceanView, Masiphumelele, Kommetjie,Noordhoek, Sun Valley and Wynberg.Former pupils wanting to participate in

this programme must:. Commit themselves to a full-time

study programme for 2011.. Commit to attending tutorial ses-

sions during the holidays and on selectedSaturdays and after school.

. Attend all lessons regularly withoutabsence.

. Work closely with Dr John Gibbon,who is the district’s programme manager.

“The district will support all pupils inachieving this goal.

“We will purchase the necessary sta-tionery and textbooks for pupils in addi-tion to supplying pupils with good teach-ers and tutors.

“Because some learners are waiting forthe supplementary examination results –which will be available on 3 and 4 May –we will be meeting with all interestedlearners at a later stage,” he said.

Themeetingwill place onSunday8Mayand Monday 9 May at the Lentegeur Hos-pital Auditorium and the Ottery Hall, sit-uated at the Ottery Youth Care Centre, at10:00.

“While the year for matriculants isnearing the half-way mark, we are confi-dent that with the right attitude and oursupport pupils will not only pass, but willdo well enough to continue studying fur-ther. It is never too late to start a goodpractice.”

Teachers do your jobsSENDING learners for extra classes of mathsand physics is a waste of money, especiallywhen those giving the lessons are currentlyteaching those subjects at school.

They are supposed to look after the educa-tion of our children at school. This is whatthey are paid for. If learners do not obeythem and their work is poor, it should be re-ported to the principal and parents. The gov-erning bodies should play a more meaningfulrole and check on lazy teachers, their workand dress code. The organisations giving the-ses classes need to be investigated. Theypromised the parents excellent results butcannot deliver, especially for those childrenwho can’t catch on so fast.MAUREEN PETERSENAthlone

Historic holidayTOMORROW (Wednesday) South Africanswill celebrate Freedom Day, a historic day fora country and people once divided along ra-cial lines.

Seventeen years ago, people of colour werenot allowed to vote and were subjected to op-pressive minority rule. They were forced tolive, fight and die in inferior areas and evict-ed from their homes. Barren District 6 is a tes-timony to the atrocities that characterisedApartheid.

Not all welcomed the changes that usheredin a new order while some elected to forgetthe pain of the past, focusing instead on thejoy and hope of the present.

Part of the present is the younger genera-tion, and it is both good and sad that theymissed out on the unrest of the ’70s and ’80s.Good, because many youth like them losttheir lives in the liberation struggle, and sadbecause today’s youth seem to lack a true ap-preciation for the privileges that come so ea-sily to them. They take for granted the privi-lege of having the political freedom to livewhere they wish, the privilege of attendingschools with world-class sports and academicfacilities and the privilege of having equal ac-cess to jobs. Sadly, most do not know enoughof our country’s troubled political past to tru-ly value what they have.

Of greater concern though, and an irony, isthat while we have the freedom our constitu-tion and a democratic government afford us,we are not really free. How can we be whenpoverty, unemployment, crime and violenceon women and children headline our exis-tence?

This should be the burning question as wereflect on our freedom tomorrow, as we standunited in celebration of all that we’veachieved; of what we’ve shown the world, andourselves. And so we should celebrate Free-dom Day by also honouring the unsung he-roes – the community workers and the police– who fight daily to ease poverty, joblessnessand crime.

EARLIER this month, Julius Malema,ANC Youth League president, accusedDA leader Helen Zille of “dancing like amonkey” to get votes from the electorate.

Keeping such a keen eye on her moves,

Malema must have sat up and taken notewhen he heard that a field mouse hadscampered up Zille’s leg under her jeanswhen she visited his home town, Seshegoin Polokwane, on Thursday.

For Malema, the puzzle about HelenZille’s dancing might be solved and hemay now have one less wonder to ponderabout her before laying his head to restat night.

Dallas 2010: How itwent downIN response to your article, “Dallas

tour debacle” (People’s Post, 19 April):Last year, during the same period,

my family and I were part of the Dallas2010 tour, my spouse being one of the twocoaches of the team and my son playingin the team. Our team was treated firstclass in Dallas as we were the upcominghosts of the World Cup.

I just want to mention a few issues thataffected our trip.

1. Team preparation: Mr Basil Palan-yandi did not arrange practices andgames and fields. Everything was lastminute, which was frustrating to the coa-ches. The boys were also never all thereas they were involved in other things.

2. Team funds: Most of our funds weredeposited into one or other account of theorganiser. Mr Palanyandi asked me to-wards the end of the year to collect out-standing monies from the parents. WhenI collected the money I would hand it overto him immediately. This was the trendup until the last meeting Mr Palanyandiheld with the boys and their parents ata local campsite.

3. Team gear: There was absolutely nosponsorship, even though we went underthe auspices of the Archbishop DesmondTutu’s foundation. As parents we had tofork out money for everything. The boysreceived their gearon the lastminute andthe gear was not up to scratch. Jacketsand bags were promised as part of thegear – this we paid for, but to date theseboys and the rest of the touring partyhave not received any bags nor jackets.

4. Team departure: We had a farewellat a local hotel. There was not enough

food, and families of two boys from Stel-lenbosch pitched (Mr Palanyandi told usthey were not in the team any longer al-though their flights had been for paid al-ready). This occasion was disastrous.

The departure date changed to twodays later. Mr Palanyandi and the headcoach did not make it to Dallas. The headcoach arrived in time for the last gameas Mr Palanyandi did not book his ticket.

5. Team arrival and team transport inDallas: Mr Palanyandi never booked andpaid for any team transport in Dallas.This we found out on the eve of our depar-ture. After telephoning Dallas to confirmthe booking, we were told there was notransport for us, so the coach and I hadto run around frantically finding fundsfor transport. A player’s parents helpedus out. After being at the orientationcamp for three days we had to find some-one to take us back to Dallas to collect thevan and then to the hotel. This van wasnot big enough for all and put more pres-sure on the manager and coach. Thecoach had to take responsibility for driv-ing the van without an internationaldriving licence because the managerwould not do it. To crown it all this wasnot the first trick. We only found out af-terwards. Between my family and themanager we had to use our own funds forgas for most of the time as there was nomoney from Mr Palanyandi as promised.

6. We arrived in Cape Town all well af-ter the tournament and we had a good ex-perience, but to date we have not had afeedback meeting with Mr Palanyandi.JULIA FALKENSybrand Park

Sharks crave Newlands showdownLOUIS DE VILLIERS

THE Stormers will have to stop a fewsturdy players in their tracks at New-

lands on Saturday if they want to stay atthe top of the Super Rugby series.

Not only do the Sharks sound cautiouslyoptimistic that Bismarck du Plessis will be fitand ready to play against the Capetonians,but the storming flank, Jean Deysel, could al-so return to the team.

In addition, John Smit delivered a tidy per-formance against the Hurricanes as theSharks’ hooker.

Du Plessis is a football freak that wouldmake most teams, and the Sharks do not con-stitute most teams.

Tendai (The Beast) Mtawarira and Willem

Alberts also looked sharp against the Hurri-canes on Saturday, which will make for a lip-smacking spectacle at Newlands for thosewho appreciate rough and ready rugby.

John Plumtree, the Sharks’ coach, justsmiled at the question of whether he wouldconsider Deysel, saying: “If he is fit.”

Deysel has played the past three VodacomCup matches, so this requirement is easilymet.

The Sharks coach is preparing for a diffi-cult mission. “I do not see much in it for usthat they had a bye this weekend. It will nothelp to hit at them for 40 minutes – it is moredifficult than that.

“There is more than enough at stake – bothteams will know afterwards exactly wherethey stand,” he said after the match againstthe Hurricanes.

According to him, his team will not be tak-ing a leaf out of the Reds’ book.

The Queenslanders are the only team thatcould trump the Stormers this year and thisis largely the result of tactical kicking.

“The Reds’ recipe will not work for us. Wewill stick with what suits us. You can also nottry to read too much into one match.”

An area of the Sharks’ play that concernstheir coach is their line-out work. The Sharkslost a couple of throw-ins – not a fatal error,but their line-out possession was sloppy onthe whole and put them on the back foot.

“We tried out a few options, but it did notgo well. Our line-out work is currently not ac-curate enough, and if we don’t urgently ironit out, the Stormers will put us under uglypressure.”

The former Stormers lock, Ross Skeate,

was in the middle of the line-out on Saturday,but was not an overwhelming success.

No-one knows better than the Capetonians,though, what the talented Skeate is capableof, and Plumtree was also satisfied with hisperformance.

He singled out the contributions of his re-placements: Jannie du Plessis and KeeganDaniel, who were on the replacements benchfor a change but performed superbly duringtheir time on the field. “Jannie and Keegandid very well and Adi (Jacobs) was as danger-ous as always when he ran on from the bench.There is healthy competition in the team.”

With the Stormers doubting the availabili-ty of fly half Peter Grant, an extremely impor-tant cog in their defence, there is already theprospect this week of a few feisty Sharks spe-cifically targeting this channel.

Knockout Challenge on the rollYOUNG footballers can start polishingtheir ball skills for the premier youthtournament on Cape Town’s soccer cal-endar: theannualEngenKnockoutChal-lenge for under-17s.

The inter-club tournament will beplayed from Friday 29 to Sunday 31 Julyat the Stephan Reagon Sports Complexin Westridge. It is the eighth edition ofthis popular annual youth soccer show-case.

The tournament is a guts-and-gloryopportunity for young soccer players to

make their mark in a hotly contestedarena. The winning team gets a R10 000cash cheque and a year’s worth of boast-ing rights. Football sports wear compa-ny Umbro is the technical sponsor.

People’s Post is again proud to be theprint media sponsor of the tournament.This will be the fifth consecutive yearthat People’s Post provides the officialprint media coverage. “It has been an en-riching partnership for us,” commentsAnnelien Dean, People’s Post editor. “Asa publication we wholeheartedly backthe aim of the Engen Knockout Chal-lenge to provide a credible platform foryoung talent to shine. We really wish allparticipating young footballers every-

thing of the best for the tournament, andwe encourage the community to go outto the tournament to see the energeticand exciting football that will be on dis-play.”

The four seeded clubs in the 16-teamcompetition will be Ajax Cape Town, En-gen Santos, Vasco Da Gama and CapeUnited FC, the defending champions.

Tournament coordinator GilbertKruger says that the entry deadline forthe play-off phase to qualify is Saturday30 April.

The play-off matches will be held du-ring May and clubs intending to entermust submit their entries on a club let-terhead to [email protected].

Engen Santoslaunchesfan walkENGEN SANTOS FC haveplanned a fan walk fromLanga Indoor Sports Cen-tre to Athlone Stadium forSantos’s clash with Orlan-do Pirates on Saturday 7May.

Building on the successof the World Cup fan walk,which united people from all walks of life in the spiritof the game, Santos has taken the bold step of creatinga fan mile to the stadium.

Spectators as well as those who want to come alongto enjoy the experience can safely park their cars atthe sports centre as they make their way to the stadi-um.

Fans are urged to purchase tickets at Computicketand Shoprite/Checkers branches before the match. Notickets will be on sale at the stadium. The match startsat 15:00.

Goolam Allie, the chairperson of Santos, encouragedCapetonians to “come out and enjoy the day with us”.

“There will be great entertainment, plenty of securi-ty and return shuttles for those going back to theirparked cars after the match. Add the magic of soccer,and it’s an occasion not to be missed,” said Allie.

Pirates are vying for the league title this season andSantos are looking to secure its place in the top eightin the Absa Premier Soccer League – so nothing candampen the spirits of either team or their fans.

Santos FC together with its partner, Engen, will playhost to the sassy La Vuvuzela, who will entertain ananticipated 20 000-strong crowd at Athlone Stadium.

Dallas tour row intensifiesBRIAN GAFFNEY

THE controversy surrounding theill-fated Dallas Cup tour for under-15s to America rages unabated fol-

lowing the disqualification of the 17-play-er squad from the annual event that start-ed on Sunday 17 April.

So much so that more angry parents of thetouring players have contacted People’s Post,which broke the news “Dallas Tour Debacle”in its Tuesday 19 April edition.

The parents and friends also placed the re-port on Facebook, which was then read by thetouring children in America.

The article revealed the anguish the youthfootballers experienced – through no fault oftheir own – after the team was disqualifiedfor failing to register on time and arrivinglate for the tournament.

Former Springbok rugby player Dale San-ton, whose son plays for Wynberg St John’sAFC, and Winston Faulmann, whose son isa member of the Western Province SportsSchool, were among parents who vowed toput the record straight once the team returnsfrom Dallas. Faulmann spent over R60 000 forhim and his wife to go on tour with their son,while Santon forked out over R20 000.

Amid the chaos, tour coordinator Basil Pal-anyandi – who has been involved in severalprevious Dallas tours – has been targeted bythe parents for not fulfilling “his duties cor-rectly and timeously”.

They blamed Palanyandi for the delay in

the issuing of visas by the American Consu-late in Cape Town. This resulted in the tourgroup leaving on separate flights on Friday15 and Saturday 16 April, instead of on Sun-day 10 April for Dallas, as had been sched-uled. The controversy deepened when DanVaughan, the aidefor Archbishop Des-mond Tutu, said lastMonday that theArchbishop hadwithdrawn his sup-port for the Dallastours since 2009, af-ter Palanyandi“failed to submit au-dited financial state-ments, as well as forother conditions re-garding misrepre-sentation that werenot adhered to”.

It has also come tolight that no execu-tive member of theSafa CapeTown – which hasdistanced itself fromthe tour that was en-dorsed by the SouthAfrican Football As-sociation (Safa) – honoured invitations to at-tend a farewell function for the tour group.

Palanyandi serves on the executive (headof fixtures) for the Safa CT – which has indi-cated it will summon him to a meeting after

his return from Dallas.In another twist to the debacle, this news-

paper established that Palanyandi liaisedwith some parents and other stakeholders in-volved in the Dallas Cup tours via the emailaddress [email protected] from the of-

fices of the LFA CapeDistrict, and notthrough the [email protected] email ad-dress, which servesas a control point forall emails regardingsoccer.

It is understoodthat Palanyandi’semail was only sup-posed to be used tofulfil his duties assecretary of the Facil-ity ManagementCommittee (FMC) forthe LFA Cape Dis-trict, which is basedat the William Her-bert Sports Complexin Wynberg.

Winston Engledoe,the president of theLFA Cape District,

also serves as chairperson of the FMC.The LFA Cape District said last week that

“it had not received any complaint from anyparents over the last 10 years regarding theDallas Cup Tournament”.

“Like any club (Ikapa), requested permis-sion from Cape District, Safa and Safa CT topartake in the Dallas Cup tournament.

“Weare, however, unawareof the financialimplications as no funds were directed viaCape District for this tour.

“Cape District is not in a position to com-ment on the operational issues for this tour-nament or any other tournament hosted byany other club.”

But Carla Goodman, whose son plays forCamps Bay AFC, was among parents whoconfirmed they were contacted via the emailaddress basil@capedistrict in connectionwith pre-tour arrangements. She said the par-ents will meet to decide what action they willtake regarding the tour debacle, prior to thetour group’s arrival at Cape Town Interna-tional Airport on Thursday 28 April.

Mohamed Shabodien, the reservationsmanager for an Athlone-based travel agency,confirmed yesterday (Monday) that the tourgroup will return home via London.

When Palanyandi was contacted by thisnewspaper on Wednesday 13 April to give hisside of the story, he responded: “Your call re-garding the Archbishop Desmond Tutu IkapaUnited team – no comment.

“You are however invited to attend the re-port backmeetingonce the teamreturns.Willgive you date, time and venue for that meet-ing.”

Arrangements were made for the touringteam to compete in friendly matches in Dallasafter its disqualification.
