SEA POINT residents have reached boil-ing point with drunk, unruly vagrants.

TAURIQ HASSEN

A CAPE TOWN producer willbe jetting off to the States afterlanding a nomination at theprestigious Oscar Awards cer-emony later this month.

Rafiq Samsodien produced theshort-filmAsad, which focuses ona young boy choosing to becomea fisherman instead of a pirate.The story of Asad takes the au-

dience into the lives of ordinarypeople in a seaside village in So-malia, providing the audiencewith a glimpse into the dailystruggles of ordinary Somalis liv-

ing in a dysfunctional and failedstate.Asad is a young boy faced with

choices in a landwhere survival isa daily challenge.The short-film is nominated in

the Best Short Film category.The film was inspired by the

novel, Pirates of Somalia, whichsparked interest on South Africanshores.“We knew that there were no

casting agencies who have Somaliactors. This is where we discov-ered that we needed to go out andactually interact with the public,”he says.Settingupat theBellville library

after advertising the role, the teamem-barked on a journey to find the appro-priate actors for their film, drawingthe attention of “hordes of people”.“Everybody that we dealt with were

refugees. They were screened, photoswere taken of them and we eventuallyfound our actors,” he explains.The film features two young asylum

seekers, Harun (14) and Ali (12) Mo-hamed, who were trained, educatedand prepared for their roles in theshort-film. “It was really not an easyprocess and everybody had to work re-ally hard trying to get these boys readyfor the movie,” Samsodien says.“They could not read. We taught

them. They could not even swim. Wetaught them. This was a learning expe-rience for everybody and it would bereally nice to have them accompany-ing me to the awards ceremony.”The producer is nowonaquest to ob-

tain adequate funding to take the refu-gees on a walk down the famous redcarpet.“I have sent out a number of re-

quests to people for funding.“I have not received anything as yet

andwe are running out of time,” a con-cerned Samsodien explains.The Oscar Awards take place on 24

February in Los Angeles, Californiaand the producer plans to fly by 20 Feb-

ruary, but fears that the boys willnot make the trip.“There is so much we have to do

and there is so little time. We needto raise funding for their tickets, vi-

sas, accommodation and more,” hesays.Anybody willing to donate any-

thing towards the cause can contactSamsodien on 0 082 955 6795.

BUILDERS at the District Six Developmentwish to set the record straight.After the article “D6 full of mistrust” pub-

lished last week which focused on the poorconditions of claimants’ houses, Kalam Con-struction and Management Services re-ceived a number of concerning calls aroundtheir services.The company contacted People’s Post last

week wanting to have their say.The builder in charge of Phase 2 of the de-

velopment, Sedick Kalam, confirms that theunits which were focused on in the articlewere not built by the company.He adds that the units formed part of Phase

1 built by Coesa/Xaler Construction.“Annie Bam did contact us when we start-

ed on site and after inspecting her unit, weadvised her to contact the Trust and lodge acomplaint, because it did not formpart of ourcontract,” Kalam says.Hewas concerned that the article could im-

pede their ability to obtain new work in theindustry.

FOLLOWING the death of 47-year-oldDawnsy Mieny last week, fencing andproper signage is now being proposed forthe Strand Street Quarry.

Mieny and her daughter were walkingalong the slopes at the Strand Street Quarryon their way to the Red Hot Chilli Peppersconcert at theCapeTownStadiumwhen theywere approached by a suspect wielding apair of scissors.After a scuffle, Mieny eventually lost her

balance and plunged to her death.Ward councillor Dave Bryant confirms

that a proposal has been lodgedwith the rele-vant departments for the fencing to be ex-tended and further signage to be implement-ed. “For now, I have requested that CityParks look at putting in place temporaryfencing and place signage upwarning peoplearound the dangers of that cliff,” he says.Bryant explains that the pathways around

the Strand Street Quarry is “not recom-mended” to the public due to safety reasons.Thesepathwaysare listedas escape routes

for petty criminals in the area.“These pathways have been accessed ille-

gally after council had erected palisade fenc-ing around the Strand Street Quarry,” Bry-ant says. “On concert days or big events atthe Cape Town Stadium, people are advisedto stick to the routes provided by the City.”The informal settlement known as “The

Kraal” neighbouring the quarry is labelledby the City and police as a venue harbouringpetty criminals.“Don’t get me wrong, there are no mass

murderers or major offenders living there,but it certainly is a problem and somethingwe have to look into,” Bryant says.But Kraal residents are disheartened by

allegations of criminal activity.Shannon Kloppers is saddened byMieny’s

death but resents the negative label stuck toher home.“Everybody living here does not get in-

volved in crime. In this Kraal, one bad per-son makes everybody look bad and that iswhat we have to go through,” she says.Richard Mpolgweni is not surprised that

fingers are being pointed at the settlement.“The people living here are to blame, be-

cause they allow anybody to sleep here andthey don’t care what these people do outsidethe settlement,” he says.“I’mnot a criminal, but it’s not nicehaving

fingers pointed at me because of what otherpeople are doing wrong.”Spokesperson for Cape Town Central po-

lice, Captain Ezra October, explains that af-ter the suspect had grabbed Mieny’s hand-bag, he ran in an unknown direction.“The deceased died due to injuries sus-

tained to her head and was declared dead byER-24 paramedics at the crime scene,” hesays.Anyone with information on the incident

can phone the station on 0 (021) 467 6377.

MORE FEET will be making their way topublic transport interchanges after an-other petrol price hike hit motorists.

Petrol increased by 41c a litre on Wednes-day.A litre of petrol now costs R11.92 in coastal

areas and R12.27 in inland regions.While fuel increases affect the profits of the

taxi industry, most associations only uptheir fares once a year, explains VusumziMiselo, the regional chairperson of the Con-gress for Democratic Taxi Associations.“We meet with other taxi associations be-

tween October and November where we dis-cuss price increases. Our fares always in-crease between R1 and R2 and these increas-es usually take effect in December,” he says.“We will be losing a lot of profit by not in-

creasing our prices, but we know the petrolprice will go down soon. If we increase faresnow, our customers will expect us to de-crease it when the petrol goes down. For thisreason we only have a price increase once ayear.”After price increases, more travellers

make their way to train stations, Metrorailregional manager Mthuthuzeli Swartz says.“The region’s overall ticket sales have in-

creased by more than 9% [since the last pet-rol increase]. Monthly ticket sales have shotup by 21.4%, an indication that the demandkeeps growing despite our current challeng-es,” he says.Metrorail has 85 trains operating on three

different lines in the province.There are 33 trains operating on the Khay-

elitsha/Mitchell’s Plain line; 32 on the north-ern line to Bellville, Wellington and Strand;and 23 serves the Simon’s Town and CapeFlats line.“Some 655 daily trains operate 732 000 pas-

senger journeys each weekday. The currenteconomic climate has increased demand fortrains to the point where it exceeds availablesupply,” Swartz says.“Even with all train-sets repaired and in

service, the Western Cape region will find itextremely hard to meet increasing demand.Attemptshavebeenmade to source train-setsfrom other regions and commuter trainshave been replaced with long-distance car-riages for outlying areas to free up additionalcapacity for shorter routes.”Another alternative for cash-strapped mo-

torists is car-pooling.Findalift.co.za offers a secure and free

service that allows people to find others trav-elling their way with little hassle.Already used by over 6 400 South Africans,

the site matches people on similar routeswithout displaying personal information, sothey can decide to make secure contact andarrange to share the journey.Managing member Daniel Claassen says

the service helps people travel better, reduc-es emissions and congestion and saves mon-ey.“The effect of the latest fuel increase will

ensure a motorist, making a modest com-mute of 25km to work and back, will pay onaverage R300 more for fuel annually,” hesays.And while 41c might be something most

won’t even bother to pick up off the floor,there is a bigger picture.“Using the latest petrol price, it will cost

a commuteronaverageR9 000 in fuel peryearand R4 000 in wear and tear, based on AArates for the maintenance costs of a vehiclewith an engine capacity of 1 501 to 1 800,”Claasen says.“Sharing this journey with one person can

save R4 500 in fuel alone and R2 000 on wearand tear. What could you do with an extraR6 500 yearly?”Johnny Barret previously travelled 20 km

from Athlone to Cape Town to drop his wifeat work. But since the price hike, she has opt-ed to rather travel by bus.“When I used to drive her to work I would

spend at least R1 200 a month,” he says. “Weare saving more than half the money nowthat she is using public transport.”Selvinlee Balie says commuting by taxi is

the cheaper option.He takes one taxi from home to work, trav-

elling 20km on average per day.“When I was using my car I would spend

R600 on petrol amonth. Now that I use publictransport I spend just over R250,” he says.

TAURIQ HASSEN

RUMOURS of the District SixMuseum closing its doors havebeen squashed.

The 18-year-old museum inBuitenkant Street faced a grim fu-ture due to financial constraintswhen funding sources ran dry, forc-ing the retrenchment of staff andthe closing of various operationslast year.

Fears that the museum – whichhas a rich archive collection of in-terviews with District Six resi-dents, videos, photographs, docu-ments and news clippings – wouldno longer be accessible to the pub-lic, ran riot.

Museum director Bonita Bennet

waved away rumours of the muse-um closing its doors and confirmsthat the necessary funding to keepoperations going has been secured.

“We are not rolling in the money,but at least we can say that the mu-seumwill not be closing down,” shesays.People’s Post fielded calls from

concerned Capetonians question-ing the future of the museum.

Felicia Anne Fritz (61) was con-cerned that the museumwould foldand future generations would notknow the rich history of DistrictSix. “I have family and friends thatwere from District Six. When I firstvisited the museum, it was likewalking down memory lane and itwouldbedreadful if all thosememo-ries could not be viewed,” she says.

The museum fell into a vulnera-ble financial state last year afteroverseas donors pulled the plug onfunding, which was coupled withtheir inability to replace the gap leftat the same level. Although the mu-seum attempted to generate someincome, they discovered that work-ingwith the former District Six res-idents, running youth programmesand education in general cost moremoney.

Management at the museum re-mains committed to continuingwith education as a “non-commer-cial activity”.

“We do not want to be in a situa-tion where we have to cost andpackage education as an income-generating activity,” Bennet says.

District Six was named the SixthMunicipal District of Cape Town in1867, which was originally estab-lished as a mixed community offreed slaves, merchants, artisans,labourers and immigrants. Thefirst to be “resettled” were blackSouth Africans, forcibly displacedfrom the District in 1901. The areabecame a neglected ward of CapeTown when the more prosperousmoved away to the suburbs. In 1966,the area was declared a white areaunder the Group Areas Act of 1950,which virtually wiped out the Dis-trict Six community by 1982.

More than 60 000 people were for-cibly removed to outlying areas –more commonly known as the CapeFlats today.

The District Six Museum neatlycaptured these memories of one ofthe most gruelling periods in SouthAfrica’s history when they estab-lished the museum in 1994.

A number of income-generatingstrategies have since been intro-

duced, including charging a fee forguided tours which used to be freeof charge. These are available on re-quest.

Themuseumdeveloped a broaderrepertoire of tours, including sitewalks and themed stories. Manage-ment also promoted the museum asa venue to be hired for events suchas book launches, dialogue ses-sions, seminars and exhibitions.“We will continue to submit fund-ing proposals so that we can contin-ue to do the exciting projects withyouth and the elderly that is so cen-tral to themuseum’s work,” Bennetexplains.

The museum has also receivedfunding commitments for this fi-nancial year from the City of CapeTown’s Grant in Aid programmeand the provincial Department ofSports, Culture and Arts.

Bennet believes the fundingwould provide “welcome relief”and allow management to explorefurther options to develop long-term support. “The public has beenwonderful in their expressions ofsupport and financial contribu-tions, however small. We have cer-tainly seen the growth in the smallpool of individual givers,” she adds.

YOUR small change could add up to achunk for a beggar.

Some pocket up to R100 a day.A study by Solidarity’s Helping Hand re-

vealed that beggars in this province, KwaZu-lu Natal and Gauteng make an average ofR172 each day.People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habel-

gaarn and Luzuko Zini polled readers fortheir opinion on the issue.

Cup-in-Cup-in-Cup-in-handhandhand

SECONDSECOND THOUGHTS:THOUGHTS: Tiisetso Tau says hedidn’t know how much money beggars couldmake and adds hewill be cautious about givinghis money to them in future. “I usually give themoney to a woman or a child. Now that I knowthey are making about R172 a day, I will onlygive once a month. They don’t work for themoney. They just stand and beg thewhole day.”

OTHEROTHER OPTIONS:OPTIONS: Myrtle Daquino says shedoes not give anything to beggars as they havealternatives, such as organisations and home­less shelters. “What they earn a day does notconcern me because they should not be beg­ging in the first place. There are places whichthey can go to.”

STILL ASTILL A GIVER:GIVER: Claudia Phillips says she al­ways gives to people asking for money. Howev­er, she says she prefers to give U­Turn vouch­ers as she has found people are grateful to re­ceive them because they can either getclothes, a meal or a night in a shelter. “Myheart just breaks for people because I knowjobs are hard to find. By giving them somethingyou feel like you’ve made a little difference.”

UNFUNFAIR:AIR: Samier Booley says he doesn’t makea habit of givingmoney to people on the streetsbecause it is easier for them to beg and notwork. Although he understands they might nothave jobs, he feels it is still not fair. “A labourerworking on a site gets between R120 andR150 for a full day’s work. It is unfair for peoplebegging to make the same sum or more.”

TTAKE AAKE A CHANCE:CHANCE: René Jantjies prefers givingfood. She adds sometimes people beg for mon­ey to feed their families, but then use the cashto buy other things. “It is difficult to knowwhen people really need it, but that’s why I goto the shop and buy a bread for people insteadof giving them the money.”

HANDHAND IT OIT OVER:VER: Thuso Simon says it’s hard totell whether beggars give the money to theirfamilies or use it for drugs. Even so, he sayssome people, especially car guards, deserve tobe tipped. “I’ve seen some get stabbed pro­tecting cars.They should actually get moremoney. Everyone should get paid more.”

OPENING up sea views and restoring thecoastal ecology of Clifton will provide un-employed men and women with jobs.

The City of Cape Town will be collaborat-ing with the national Department of Envi-ronmental Affairs to remove invasive alienvegetation on the land below Victoria Roadin Clifton.

This project is part of the City’s ExpandedPublic Works Programme, and will there-fore see a team of previously unemployedmen and women receiving training and cer-tification in the identification of invasiveplant species, the mixing and application ofpoisons, the use of chainsaws and the proc-ess of bank stabilisation.

The area to be cleared abutting VictoriaRoad will extend from Clifton 2nd Beach toClifton 4th Beach.

The work is set to commence shortly and

will be completed before the end of March.The project is funded by the Department

of Environmental Affairs as part of its Work-ing for the Coast Project, and the teams willbe guided and assisted by City officials fromthe Departments of Environmental Re-source Management, Parks and Solid WasteManagement.

Victoria Road has been declared a scenicdrive and forms part of a network of scenicroutes around Cape Town.

However, due to the overgrown vegetationand the presence of invasive alien plants,many of the sea views have been obscuredand lost to passersby.

Non-invasive exotic vegetation that formspart of the matrix of green vegetation thatis important to the character of the CliftonBungalow Area will not be removed.

This includes the Stone Pines, palm treesand Manatokas.

Clean up plan forClifton’s invaders

PEDAL POWER: KFM Breakfast jock Ryan O’Connor, with support from surf reporterDeon Bing, will put their muscles to work in the 109km Cape Argus Pick n Pay CycleTour to raise funds for The Sunflower Fund. And they’re hoping Capetonians will helpthem get there – figuratively speaking, of course. The challenge of the tour cannot becompared to the trek of patients with leukaemia and other life­threatening blood disor­ders. The Sunflower Fund is appealing to cyclists participating in the cycle tour to offersupport and mentorship by emailing friends, family and colleagues to be sponsors. Con­tact TheSunflower Fund for a sponsorship form. If youwish to sponsor the radio personali­ties, call 0800 121 082 or email [email protected].

Crisis pointANENE BOOYSEN will be remembered forall the wrong reasons. Not through her fault,but for the inhumane actions of others.

The Bredasdorp teenager died after she wasraped and brutalised. A doctor spoke outabout the horror of Anene’s last hours.

President Jacob Zuma has said the harsh-est punishment must be meted out upon herperpetrators.

The matter has received attention in themedia; politicians have spoken out, for once,united in their disgust.

But Anene isn’t alone. While her untimelydeath at the hand of others may be particular-ly gruesome, many other women and girlswho survive never take that step to reportrape or sex crimes. They’d rather not relivethe violation to police officers and in court,nor by society.

Rape is not about sex. It’s about power. It’sabout hurting another on an extremely inti-mate level.

Rape is akin to a sort of death. Withoutyears of counselling, rape survivors oftenfind it difficult to regain control of their lives.They have difficulty trusting. It is as tryingfor the men who love them.

The gang rape on a bus and subsequentdeath on the roadside of an Indian studentevoked global uproar. Perhaps, in South Afri-ca, complacency is the enemy.

Should women remain cooped up in theirhomes for fear of assault? Do they have towear clothes deemed “appropriate” to avoidwould-be attackers justifying lewdness?What society expects of a wronged party toadjust behaviour to suit the sickness thatbreeds in the heart of another? And where dowe draw the line?

Not all men do this. They are the ones whowill think of Anene. She could be your moth-er, your wife, your sister, your daughter. Shecould be the granddaughter you dote on. Eve-ry woman anywhere and at any time has asmuch right to be safe as any man.

This is not an issue of gender equality. Itis a human right.

FOR the last few months a company has beendeducting money from my account without myknowledge. I have not had any contractualagreement with the said company in any way,and they have been deducting R68 from my FNBaccount monthly. Upon searching for this com-pany on the internet (Hello Peter), I came acrossmany such complaints of this amount being de-ducted from various individuals’ accounts.

I am very concerned that this company hasbeen allowed to continue their fraudulent activ-ities using FNB accounts. Surely FNB shouldhave picked up these complaints.

I am considering changing my bank accountif this issue isn’t resolved and I am not reim-bursed.SIYABONGA SIBAYASteve Higgins from FNB Corporate Commu-nication responds:Numerous areas within thebank deal with these matters. The entry pointshould, however, be at the branch where the ac-count holder approaches his/her bank branchand formally lodges the dispute and/or com-plaint. From there the dispute is managed interms of industry rules. (The company which hasbeen deducting the money) is not sponsored intothe payment system by FNB, but by anotherbank. FNB has, however, escalated the matter tothe sponsoring bank and awaits feedback. The

customer must approach his/her bank branchand formally lodge a dispute. The bank will thenfollow interbank protocol to obtain proof that thedebit orders were authorised by the customer. Ifthe proof is not forthcoming the customer will berefunded. It should, however, not exceed 30 calen-dar days to resolve such a dispute from the timeit is lodged. Debit orders are agreed between thecustomer and the company receiving the paymentwhich implies that the customers are informed.The sponsoring bank has certain obligations interms of payment industry regulations which donot include the laying of criminal charges.

Customers should scrutinise their bank state-ments thoroughly and regularly and immediate-ly approach their bank if they notice a debit orderon their statement which they believe is not au-thorised.

FNB makes every effort to act in the best inter-ests of our customers. Customers should be awarethat they can authorise a debit order during atelephone callwith a telesales caller. Inmany cas-es disputes are raised by customers who have for-gotten about the sales call and they do not realisethey have authorised a debit order. Debit ordersare critically important to customers who requirea convenient way to pay regular invoices such asshort- and long-term insurance policies, retire-ment funds, cell phone accounts and security.

WE ALL stood together and voted for our belo-ved mountain. We all became excited with theoutcome of the votes. And yet now we all standwith sad faces looking at what it costs to go upthe mountain.

Must you be a tourist to enjoy things in CapeTown? Must you be rich to enjoy life? Whatabout the normal family with a mom, dad andtwo children? It will cost R500 just to take thechildren up with the cable way. Is this fair? Ithink not!

Who can afford this with a smile? It’s heart-

breaking that not everyone can go to RatangaJunction or Table Mountain. It’s heartbreakingthat things are so overpriced.

Even the small things like buying your child-ren books have now been added to a wish listbecause not everyone can afford R65 for a four-page baby book with Bob the Builder’s face onit. But yet they tell us to educate our children.They tell us to let them read. They tell us to dothings as a family. Let them see and do newthings. Sure, at whose expense?HG HILLARY

Cost takes tCost takes thehe joy out of ljoy out of lifeife

THE other day my son Morné, a bik-er, let me drive on a scrambler andI went for a motorised galloparound the neighbourhood.

It left an impression on me howthe bike could manoeuvre on roads,fields, gravel and tar with ease and– of course – where no four-wheelvehicle could dare travel.

It brought back memories whenI was operational commander at Ta-ble Bay Harbour – how visible andeffective motorbike patrols were.

It was an impressionable sight tosee these crime prevention bikersperform their duties in pairs.

Why are these resources not usedto their full potential?

Should those in authority not re-kindle our metal-mounted steeds incrime prevention?

Should motorbike neighbour-hood watch patrols, in conjunctionwith law enforcement bikers, not belooked at?

Criminals will get the shock oftheir lives to see our mounted pa-trols, not to mention the assuranceit will give to our law abiding citi-zens. I hope someone puts these(suggestions) into action.KEITH BLAKE

YOU can give input in the City of CapeTown’s Metro Police plan for the next fi-nancial year.

Metro Police is calling on residents tomake their voices heard by commenting ina public participation process for its annualplan for 2013/2014. The strategic plan will di-rect the department’s operations, build onthe successes of previous years, further im-prove its service and, ultimately, make CapeTown a safer place.“Public participation is vital for an effec-

tive plan, as residents often have a better un-derstanding of what it is in their communi-ties that needs more attention,” says JPSmith, the Mayoral Committee member forSafety and Security.“I encourage residents to submit their in-

put, as they will in turn benefit from im-proved safety.”The closing date for submissions is Thurs-

day 28 February.The plan will focus on the three legislative

mandates of traffic, bylaw enforcement andcrime prevention.It will also focus on alcohol and drug-relat-

ed offences, gang-related activities, contra-ventions of the Arms and Ammunitions Act,moving violations and bylaw offences.Residentsmay submit comments to the de-

partment by fax on 0 0866 201 238 or email2 [email protected], place your submissions in

suggestion boxes at Metro Police Communi-ty Service Centres at the Old Telkom Build-ing in Rochester Road, Philippi, or 101 Hert-zog Boulevard, Cape Town.Community Police Forum chairpersons or

delegates are also invited to attend ameetingto discuss the plan on Saturday 23 February.For further details call Sean Petersen on

0 (021) 370 2200 or email 2 [email protected].

TOURISTS can now tune in – literally – tokeep updated about safety in the MotherCity.TourismRadio has teamedupwith council

to launch a digital safety campaign aimed atvisitors to Cape Town.Using an in-car audio travel guidemade by

local travel tech company Tourism Radio, aswell as various mobile travel apps, the Citywill provide tourists with important travelinformation as they move around.Tourism Radio uses location-based tech-

nology to provide users with relevant infor-mation about the area. Points of interest playautomatically, and are not bound by a setroute, creating a seamless travel dialoguefrom thousands of audio clips.

Tourism Radio CEO Mark Allewell saysthose visiting the Mother City will be wellinformed about their surroundings.“We’re looking to provide travellers with

a constant stream of information, includingsafety tips and emergency numbers. Thispartnership will ensure that our users arenot only informed about things to see and doduring their stay, but are also guided on howto do so safely,” he says.Launched earlier this month, the cam-

paign will feature in several existing mobileCape Town travel guides, including CapeTown Tourism’sWalking Tour of Cape Townand the First Car Rental Guide to Cape Town– both currently available on the iTunesStore and Android Marketplace.

SA stumble at final hurdleCOULD the Investec SouthAfrican women’s hockeyteam beat London 2012 Ol-ympic Games gold medal-lists and world number oneteam for the first time in adecade?

This was the question on eve-rybody’s lips at the final of theInvestec Challenge whereSouth Africa, ranked 11th inthe world, took on the Nether-lands on Sunday.

It was not to be, but SA madetheir fans proud at a packedHartleyvale Stadium, with astirring performance that pro-duced two top-notch goals in anexcellent second half.

The Dutch raced to a 2-0 leadthrough goals from Roos Drostin the seventh minute and Kit-ty van Male in the 23rd minute,but the score-line did not re-flect the tremendous fight theSA team put up.

World record goalscorer Pie-tie Coetzee and Jade Maynecame close to getting on thescoresheet on a number of oc-casions only to be foiled by theworld’s best shot stopper,JoyceSombroek, in theNether-lands’ goal during the first-half.

Fiveminutes into the second-half a revitalised SA scoredfrom their second successivepenalty corner, when Lisa Dee-tlefs slapped in on the rebound.

SA put enormous pressureon the Dutch for a sustained pe-riod, but midway through thesecond half the world’s bestteam – devastating on the coun-ter-attack – came back at pace.

Forward Maria Verschoorbeat excellent SA keeper Sana-ni Mangisa from close rangetaking the score 3-1 in the 55thminute.

But the end-to-end actionwas not over yet, and four min-utes later Celia Evans shook offa heavy tackle on the rightflank and made ground undermuch pressure, before firing across to Mayne who was lurk-ing near the left post.

The Western Province strik-ermadenomistake from insidebox and narrowed the deficit.

However, thoughts of SA be-ing able to draw level and forcethe match into extra time werenot to be, as Mangisa palmed aMaartje Paumen screamerover the crossbar before Char-lotte Vega scored a relativelysoft goal with only seven sec-onds left in the game for the 4-2final score-line.

In the bronze medal matchEngland beat Australia 3-2 onpenalties after regular time fin-ished 2-2 all.

Netherlands captain MaartjePaumen finished the tourna-ment as the top scorer with tengoals to her name.

SKW steel up for rugga spectacleLIAM MOSES

SK WALMERS could divert from their usual ball-in-handbrand of rugby to increase their chances in the Saru Com-munity Cup.

The Green Point side host Worcester Villagers in their firstgame of the inaugural tournament, which replaces the NationalClub Championship, at the Green Point Track on Saturday 23February.

Labeeb Levy, the club’s director of coaching, says the teamwill aim to entertain, but may have to swap their traditionalchampagne rugby for a more structured approach, dependingon certain factors.

“We would like to play that brand, but we also have to lookat the resources we have. We would like to play and maintainit, but, in saying that, the competition is very different (to theSuper League A),” says Levy.

“The people you are playing against also have a certain brandthey play so we need to change it (our game) week after week.”

Levy adds the loss of several stars to the provincial rankscould also prevent his team from spreading the ball as muchas they usually would.

SKW have been drawn in Group A, arguably the toughest inthe tournament, alongwith Jonsson College Rovers (KZN), GAPDespatch (EP), Villagers Worcester (Boland) and Sishen (Gri-quas).

Rovers are the current Kwa-Zulu Natal and National ClubChampionships holders, while Despatch finished second on theGrand Challenge log just seven points behind Nelson MandelaMetropole University. Villagers won the Boland PremierLeague by 14 points last year and Sishen took the Griquas Pre-mier League by seven points.

The tournament will kick off this week, with College Roversfacing GAP Despatch in Durban and Villagers hosting Sishen.

Walmers have a bye on the first match day and will use theextra week to wrap up their preparations. Levy believes his sidecould be in for a taste of their own medicine when the Bolandchamps visit.

“I think Worcester Villagers will play a typical Boland game– keeping the ball in hand and giving it lots of air,” he says.

“They will play their normal attacking game. They wouldhave had an extra game so they will know the pressures thatcome with it. We will be fresh, so hopefully that will be to ouradvantage.

“It’s our first game on the Track after a two-year break andhopefully we will make it special.”

SKW are set to announce a squad of between 30 and 35 playersfor the competition this week.
