ORANJEZICHT

Fury over cell mastNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Residents in Oranjezicht are seeing redover an application to erect a cellularmast at a local sports field.

Residents say the application was not ad-vertised widely enough, with some taking tosocial media to vent about the process.Some residents posted that theywere noti-

fied by a flyer in their letter box, which wasalmost missed among their mail, while oth-ers heard about the application throughword of mouth.The application proposed to replace one of

the four existing lighting masts at the Mon-treal Avenue rugby field with a new, biggerone to hold the cellular antenna as well.The property is zoned as a Public Open

Space.Mayoral Committee Member for Energy,

Environmental and Spatial Planning Johanvan der Merwe says the application will beevaluated on its merits and is currently fol-lowing due process.He maintains council followed correct

procedure during the public participationprocess, even though it was not advertised

in the media or public places.“Notices were issued to interested and af-

fected parties including property owners,the ward councillor and the registered localcommunity organisation. This was under-taken in terms of the Notification Policy forland use development applications,” hesays.City Bowl Ratepayers’ Association chair-

person Patrick Labrosse believes the publicparticipation process was not good enough.“Some of the residents who are indicated

as having been notified say that they havein fact not received any notification,” hesays.“In any case, even the number of residents

supposedly notified fell well short of thenumber that should have been included forsuch a matter: radio frequency (RF) emis-sions carry further than the next propertyboundary.”The installation of a cellular mast raises

concerns over the heath implications on thecommunity, says Labrosse.This follows the rating of RF emissions,

such as those given off by cellular masts, as2B by the World Health Organisation(WHO).

WHO has grades for all types of cancerrisks. These start at 4, which is probably notconducive to cancers and ends at 1, whichis a proven cancer risk to humans. Class 2Bindicates the emissions may be “possiblyconducive to cancer in humans”, and acts asa cautionary classification.This follows research showing that cer-

tain types of brain tumours may be linkedto cellphones. Research is currently beingcarried out on other possible health risks.“Cellphone masts are prohibited in much

of Europe in or in close proximity to schools,hospitals and frailcare facilities,” Labrosseexplains.However,VodacomspokespersonRichard

Boorman says there have been thousands ofscientific studies into the effects of RF fieldson health.“Scientists know more about this than

they do about most chemicals. Authoritiesincluding theWHO agree that there is no ev-idence that convinces experts that exposureto RF fields from mobile devices and basestations operated within guideline limitshas any adverse health effects,” he says.As there is no independent monitoring of

cellphone mast installations and these are

situated close to homes, in which residentsspend almost half their day, cellular mastscould expose them to more emissions thanspeaking on a cellphone would, Labrosse be-lieves.“I am amazed that the regulations allow,

and that the City approves, cell masts onschool grounds. That is a complete no-no inmost of Europe where the approach extendsto hospitals, frailcare facilities and so on,”he says.Growing mobile traffic, particularly data

traffic, requires more cellular infrastruc-ture, explains Boorman.“Our data traffic in SA is up almost 70%

on last year,” he says.“The capacity of each base station is limit-

ed, so the only way to deal with this is to addnew sites.”Each site costs over R1m, so the company

does extensivemodelling to ensure that sitesare only installed where they are required,Boorman says.“The impact on the local community is

that if we are not able to put this base stationup, data speeds will drop and call qualitywill suffer, including more difficulty settingup calls and more dropped calls,” he says.

The Green Point Athletics Stadium wasrelaunched on Wednesday, following anR85m upgrade.The upgrade sees thestadium now meeting the technicalstandards set by the International Association of Athletics Federations. The firstevent to take place at the stadium will bethe World Triathlon Series in April. Thiswill be the first time that the triathlonseries finishes in a stadium. The stadiumwill also house the Sea Point Lions Club,the Cape Peninsula University of Technology Athletics Club and the Western ProvinceAthletics Federation. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

Home birth explainedMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

You’ re pregnant. For many womenthese two words could send shockwaves throughout their bodies.

While some may be happy and ready tobecome a mom, others may feel anxiousand worried. With a flurry of emotions –whether you are happy or sad, excited oranxious – all pregnant women will have tofigure out a birth plan.But as medical costs continue to rise,

many women are exploring their optionsincluding having their babies at home.Later this week a group of expecting

moms, coupled with midwives, birth ex-perts and partners will gather in Muizen-berg to discuss issues around home birth-ing. The informal event will be hosted byHome Birth South Africa in Muizenberg.

Early beginningsIn 2010, whileworking as doulas Lana Pe-

tersen and Ruth Ehrhardt became frustrat-ed with not being able to provide informa-tion on home births to expecting moms.

A doula is a woman who offers continualemotional and physical support to a labou-ring woman (and her partner).Together they decided to start hosting

home birth gatherings where doulas, mid-wives and interested parties sat togetherand shared their stories. HomeBirth SouthAfrica was formed and a website with ev-erything expecting parents need to knowcreated.Here women share their stories and pho-

tographs of home birth.

MisconceptionsSafety, cleanliness and complications are

some of the main issues faced by HomeBirth South Africa.Petersen explains despite a long history

of home births across the world, with mod-ern-daymedical procedures,many still per-ceived giving birth to be a medical proce-dure.She says birth is a natural physiological

process and only requires medical inter-vention when there are complications.Petersen explains in preparation for a

home birth, the first step is for the motherto pick a caregiver.“The midwife will then ensure the moth-

er visits the hospital to ensure that a natu-ral home birth is safe and there are no com-plications.”Throughout thepregnancy, the caregiver

conducts regular check-ups and helps pre-pare women accordingly. “Midwives are

highly skilled and trained. They also workwith back-up hospitals so in the case ofemergency they are equipped to assist.”

ChoicePetersen says the gatherings are held to

help expecting parents explore their op-tions.She explains while they do not try and

convince moms to take the home birth op-tion, they aim to provide all the necessaryinformation to ensure parents choose abirth plan that suits them.“The one advantage is that because it’s

your home, you are not bound by hospitalprotocols. Here the mom can decide whoshewants to have around her and she is notsurrounded by strangers,” she adds.The gathering will take place on Sunday

1March at 18 Axminster Road,Muizenbergfrom 14:00 to 16:00.The gathering is aimed at thosewhohave

given birth at home, for those who havewanted home births, for those who areplanning a home birth or are thinkingabout it or are just curious.It is also for those whose home births did

not go as they had wished. Midwives anddoulas are also welcome.Entry is R60 per person or R100 for two

people.V For more information visit www.homebirth.org.zaor call Ruth on 078 557 9070 or email ruth@homebirth.org.za or call Lana on 073 514 9754 or [email protected].

No more shelter for shellsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Queens Beach will be cleared of piles ofshells in a once-off cleaning.Wardcouncillor JacquesWeber says

the move comes after an increase inthe number ofmussel shells startedwashingup on the beach two years ago.This led to almost the entire beach being

covered in dense shell deposits.“A fewmonths ago theCity piled the shells

to create some sand,” says Weber. “Howev-er, this was stopped as it is in contraventionof the environmental act. Beachgoers con-stantly raised complaints about the shellshaving a horrible smell.”According to a report by the City of Cape

Town Environmental Resource Manage-ment Department, the reasons for these de-posits en masse are unclear.“The accumulation of these mussel shells

pose a significant management challenge tothe City in that these deposits are creatinga health and safety risk to the general pub-lic,” states the report.The flesh content and other organic mate-

rial of these accumulated mussel shells arestarting to rot in thewarmsummer tempera-tures, and rats are being attracted to QueensBeach, the report found.“The City appreciates the fact that the ac-

cumulation ofmussel shells on beaches is anentirely natural phenomenon and shouldnot be interfered with. However, due to thesheer quantities of shells and their organiccontent the City has obtained permissionfrom the national and provincial authoritiesto remove these shells,” says the report.Weber says the piles of shells will be re-

moved today, Tuesday 24 February.“The removal of piled shells will open up

more space on the beachas the piled sectionswere taking up a large percentage of this ar-

ea. I must highlight that only the old piledshells will be removed and not the looseshellswhichwill and continue to occurnatu-rally on the beach,” he says.After being inundated with complaints on

the cleanliness of the shoreline, formerwardcouncillorBeverley Schäfer submitted amo-tion to have the Sea Point stretch changedto a nodal beach.This would result in increased cleaning

services.Kelp and shells play a significant role in

the ecological functionality of the city’sbeaches.While council removes kelp at Queens

Beach, it does not, unless under exceptionalcircumstances, remove shells (“Royal treat-

ment”, People’s Post, 14 November 2013).Nodal beaches are classified according to

the number of visitors who use the specificstretch.When allocating resources, the nodal

beach is the focal point from which resour-ces are distributed to smaller surroundingbeaches.Although Queens Beach is not that popu-

lar as a swimming spot due to rocks, it is of-ten used for sunbathing, family get-togeth-ers, dog walking and surfing.Sea Point, Bantry Bay and Fresnaye Rate-

payers’ Association chairperson Derek Salt-er says the organisation has welcomed thecleaning of this beach.“It has been something residents have

been concerned about for a while. We areconvinced that it will help make the beachmore attractive to residents and visitors andmake it an alternative beach option here onthe Atlantic Seaboard,” he says.Salter hopes the cleaning can become a

regular occurrence.“We would hope a process can be found

which is cost-effective and environmentallysustainable for the benefit of all,” he says.However,Weber says, themussel shells on

the beach are a natural occurrence and arenot technically a problem.“Shells will come and go with the changes

in tides and seasons andwe cannot interferewith the environment constantly as thatwillcause many more issues,” he says.

The removal of piles of shell deposits is scheduled to take place at Queens Beach this week. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

BUSINESS

New device to detect firesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A Salt River company has made savinglives its business.And now the Lumkani fire detection

device has the company competing for a $1mprize.The social enterprise firm has created a

fire detection device aimed at shackdwell-ers, which detects an increase in heat in-stead of smoke.Lumkani’s vision is to mitigate the loss of

life and property caused by dangerous firesoccurring in informal settlements, says fi-nancial director David Gluckman.“Wewish to increase the safety and securi-

ty of millions, if not hundreds of millions,of people across the globe who live at riskof slum fires,” he says.The product was born after a devastating

fire in Khayelitsha on New Year’s Day in2013.The blaze displaced thousands of people

and was a catalyst for research and develop-ment, Gluckman says.

“This earlywarning detection systemhas itsroots in an engineering honours thesis of Fran-cois Petousis at UCT.This tragic event brought together a multi-

disciplinary team that would bring theory intoreality to helpmitigate the loss of life and prop-erty associated with the rampant spread ofshack fires,” he says.The device costs R120 and the battery will

last between one and two years.Lumkani uses heat detection technology

which is proved to be most effective at sensingfires in already smoky environments, Gluck-man explains. “The in-shack heat detector willringwhen a fire is detected enabling the familyin the home to respond proactively and possi-bly extinguish the fire,” he says.If this is not the case, the device will then

trigger all deviceswithin a 100m range of itself,using transmission technology, to create acommunity-wide alert.“This will serve to proactively alert people

of the danger to either assist in containing thefire, or saving family members and belong-ings,” he says. “The critical challenge we wantto address is both the personal safety aspect of

one’s family in the home as well as thespread of the fire to the surrounding com-munity.”Lumkani has now been listed as one of

five finalists in the inaugural Chivas Re-gal Win The Right Way Campaign.It is an international competition

which has attracted the world’s brightestpromisingly talented social entrepre-neurs.The winner will be announced on Fri-

day 27 February at Design Indaba, andwill join 20 other social entrepreneursfrom around the world in Silicon Valley,California, USA, for a mentorship pro-gramme.

Unique challengesThe mentorship programme will in-

cludementoring sessions by various busi-ness moguls, with visits to leading techcompanies, and pitching for the ultimateprize to take their business to the next lev-el – a portion of $1m in funding.Gluckman says the company faces

unique challenges, as there is little room

for error.“We’re not dealing with a mobile app that

tells you how many calories you burn inyour sleep,” he says.“We are potentially dealing with life and

death and ‘failure’ in our case can come ata very high price – trust.”The company sold 850 devices between its

launch in November last year and the endof January and is already recording success-es. “Lumkani has already detected two fireswhich the community has verified wouldhave displaced many people, had the net-work effect of the devices not taken placeand created a community-wide response tothe fire,” he says.

Multidisciplinary approachBut it’s the company’s team that holds the

secret to their success, Gluckman believes.“What stands out about Lumkani is that

we are about business and [social] impact –where both grow from the other at a similarrate.Our core strength is ourmultidisciplin-ary teamwhich promotes amulti-stakehold-er approach to growth and development,” hesays. “We have three engineers within theteam, a social change practitioner, entrepre-neurs and an industrial designer. We havea recipe of excellent people.”V Share your thoughts on this device. Starting withthe words “Post” and “device”, SMS to 32516.

TAMBOERSKLOOF

‘No’ to shacksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Over 400 Tamboerskloof residentshave called for action to be taken bynational government over a derelict

site on Military Road.Calls have been made for the relocation

of shackdwellers from the site, following arecent fire.

The fire, which displaced the 18 familiesliving on the site, occurred at the end ofJanuary and was caused by an unattendedcandle, residents maintain.

Everly Pfute, who lives on the propertyas a neighbour to the informal settlement,says a resident fell asleep with a lit candle.The shack caught fire, and quickly spreadto the other homes, he says.

“A woman had to throw her baby overthe property fence to me, and then jumpover herself. It was a windy night and thefire just spread to all the shacks,” saysPfute.

After a temporary relocation, the 18 fami-lies are backon the site rebuilding, says thesettlement’s residents’ association chair-person Benjamin Hanslow.

Mayoral Committee Member for HumanSettlements Benedicta van Minnen saysthe City, in accordance with its policy, pro-vided interim relief such as rebuildingma-terials for residents.

“The national Department of PublicWorks owns erf 81, the land on which theinformal settlement is situated. Therefore,all matters pertaining to this land and theoccupants must be referred to them,” shesays.

The site has been declared a problembuilding site, says City of CapeTown safetyand security mayco member JP Smith.

“The Problem Buildings Unit officiallydeclared the site a problem building site on

Monday 9 February and the signs wereerected,” he says.

Residents in adjacent suburbs started apetition last week, calling on the nationaldepartment to be held accountable for thesite.

According to the petition, the land hasbeen ill-managed for the last decade, andnow the slopes of our national park havefallen into a state of dire neglect, represent-ing a danger to all residents.

It calls for the department to clean up theproperty and properly administer the site,contain the spread of the informal settle-ment, relocate those living illegally on theland and give the land over to the City formanagement.

The department had not responded at thetime of going to print.

The petition also states the site does nothave sewerage or water supply, and the ar-ea is a health hazard due to dumping andhuman waste.

The author of the petition had not re-sponded to requests for comment.

Meanwhile, Hanslow says the communi-ty does not want to be relocated. “We’vebeen here for 15 years. We lost everythingin the fire. What happened here is misery.We even lost our animals.”

Hanslow says council and the depart-ment have assisted the informal settlementresidents, but surrounding homeownersstill want them off the site.

“Theycan saywemust relocate. Theyareagainst us. We understand there are someproblem residents here. We’ve formed aresidents’ committee andwewant to get ridof them,” he says.

But moving all the families is not an op-tion, says Hanslow.

“We work close by and we don’t want tomove to a different area. Where must wego?”

Thanks for excellent public serviceI am writing with great happiness andappreciation for the wonderful publicservice which a few City traffic officersand members of the Flying Squadperformed on Thursday 29 January.

I was attending a church service inMitchell’s Plain about 21:00 when Ireceived a call that my daughter’s carbroke down on the notorious R300.

One cannot help but think of therecent dangerous incidents, wheremotorists were attacked while being onthis national road.

It is actually a sad state of affairs thatthis beautiful piece of road has becomeso dangerous for motorists. We dependon this road to earn our bread.

My wife logged a call with the emer-gency services, and I am happy to reportthat the City of Cape Town’s trafficservices and the flying squad respondedalmost immediately. My family and Iwere happy for this good public servicerendered, as our daughter was alone –far from where we were at that time. Iam aware this is their job and what they

are trained to do.As a fellow public servant I have great

appreciation for the men and women inblue who sometimes place themselves atrisk to come to the aid of others in need.

There may be many who do notappreciate the emergency services,particularly the police and law enforce-ment fraternity, but for me and myfamily, we are very appreciative of thiskind deed they performed for our daugh-ter.

I am aware we cannot reward them fordoing their duty, but we want to recog-nise them for the great selfless work theydo, while serving others in the field.

As a taxpayer, it makes me proud tosee that our taxes are being put to gooduse, when the emergency servicesrespond to even minor requests from thepublic.

I want to acknowledge a few officers inparticular who stayed with my daughteruntil the towing company arrived totransport her home. Her safety was ourmain concern and that was all that

mattered to us.Our daughter sometimes has to work

late and we feel much more relaxed nowthat we know there are traffic officersand police officers patrolling the R300and can respond in cases of emergency.

As a family we want to recogniseSergeant Clifton Botha, Constable Chris-topher Ludick, Constable Leon April,Traffic Officer Lorenzo Lackay andTraffic Officer Glen Oppel.

These officers also ensured that thetraffic flow was unhindered and safe forall when the car was recovered by thebreakdown truck.

The whole activity was a successbecause of their help.

Thank you once again and keep up thegood work. You make us proud to beSouth Africans.

We wish these officers well in theirfuture career development within in theSA public service.

According Jenny, who sent in an email,this flower is growing in a friend’sgarden in Fish Hoek. She says the outer“leaves” are pink and the little flowerson the inside are yellow. The leaves arefleshy with sharp spikes along theedges, and the flowers (pink parts)seem to be hidden underneath. Shewould like to know what kind of plantthis is. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Last week a Cape Town musician had his sax-ophone stolen.

But in just a few days, the beloved instru-ment was safely returned.

After discovering that his sax had been stolenfrom his car, Nick Becker took to Facebook.

He urged people to be on the lookout for theinstrument which had quite literally taken himacross the world.

His post, along with his offer of a substantialreward, went viral and within four days anothermusician called him to say he’d found it.

Despite Nick’s insistence, he wasn’t preparedto take the reward.

Jai Reddy came across someone trying to sellthe saxophone in the CBD and recognised it fromNick’s Facebook post.

He bought it, and then gave Nick a call.Theft is in some sense a part of life for many

South Africans.But what makes this story so heartwarming

is the fact that the Cape Town music fraternity,along with non-musical folk, pulled together toget this man’s sax back.

Everybody involved in the search simply hadto click “share”.

Just one click made the world of difference inmaking sure someone would recognise the sto-len instrument.

Apart from the lesson around the power of Fa-cebook, the bigger lesson here is the power ofcommunity and what we can do if we all contrib-ute just a little bit.

As American historian and social activistHoward Zinn once said: “Small acts, when multi-plied by millions of people, can transform theworld.”

. There is no new law coming and noclampdown. The only law about modifica-tions is the existing National RoadTraffic Act.

. They (the law enforcers) cannot stopthe illegal street racers now they aretargeting the car scene. I am a boardmember of the club Mk1Dub and ourmain concern is charity. We do charityruns, chauffeur matric ball couples forfree, set up mini matric ball convoys,weddings and more for the less fortunatewith our pimped out rides. They aresurely going to put a stop to this withthis new law and arrogant behaviour ofghost squad officials. I have spent overR40 000 on my ride and now all thismoney has to go to the gutter. Many aftermarket shops will close down and manypeople will lose their jobs. I am fromAtlantis and I am afraid to drive around,because we are being victimised byofficials. – Oscar

. People come from abroad to havetheir significant others killed, and theywalk off free. Now this country’s lawsays I cannot drop my car with a set ofrims. Please!

. If they are caught in illegal dragracing, they must be given a fine orwhatever the law says. But do not pullover a car and give the driver a fine justbecause the car has been modified. Weare car enthusiasts and as young carowners we like to modify our cars. Thatis how much we love our cars. Do notpunish the innocent driver just becausehis car looks nice. It is unfair and verywrong. If people cannot modify their carsthen [businesses] that sell mags and dropkits are going to suffer, if they do not getcustomers. The unemployment rate isalready sky high.

. I think they should only go for thepeople doing illegal drag racing, as I wasalmost knocked from behind while twoToyota 20 valves were dicing. I am sureeveryone wants their cars to look nice, sowhy can’t we have rims?

PROMOTION

Go on, tuck inBanting is a way of eating that empha-

sises low-carb foods and healthy fats.It’s believed to help balance blood sug-

ar levels and allow the body to achieve andmaintain a healthy weight.

Banting focuses on whole, fresh andhealthy homemade foods. People who fol-low the banting lifestyle choose protein-rich pasture-reared meat and eggs, healthyfats in the form of coconut oil, full cream,pasture-reared dairy, nuts and nut buttersand seeds.

Fresh vegetables are an important part ofthe bantingdiet, but starchyvegetables likepotatoes and fruit (the latter of which ishigh in sugar) are limited.

Making the transition to the banting wayof eating can be challenging if you’re notused to it and the right ingredients for newrecipes can be hard to find. Wellness Ware-house stocks pasture-reared meat, eggs anddairy (available at selected stores) and awide range of nut butters and low-carbflours, as well as banting-friendly sweeten-ers like stevia and xylitol.

Wellness Warehouse believes that eatinghealthily and living life well should be ac-cessible to everyone and has a wide rangeof low-carb, high-fat, products to make thiseasier.

Wellness Warehouse stocks not onlyfoods, but also supplements that are espe-cially good for banters. These are designedto help stabilise blood sugar (look out forproducts containing chromium) and thosedesigned to help the body cleanse.

Wellness Warehouse also has banting-friendly treats, because everyone needs toindulge a little sometimes. While banting al-lows for small ‘cheats’, it’s key that these belimited and it’s recommended they be cho-sen to fit in with a banting meal plan.V Find your nearest Wellness Warehouse store andshop online at wellnesswarehouse.com.

Wearing artLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town photographer KateDavies, in collaboration withSpree, is giving online shop-

pers the chance to wear her art.Spree has hand-picked eight

images for this initiative from her365. A year in infrared, a collectionof infrared images she shot while

participating in the global 365pro-ject which unites professional andamateur photographers by encou-raging them to take one photo a dayfor a year. “I love pushing myselfto learn something new and to com-plete a new challenge,” Daviessays.

She’s always busy with side pro-jects, so when a friend told herabout the 365project, she jumped at

the opportunity. But Davies wasworried she would become boredwith “normal” photos.

“I needed a medium to keep meinterested and intrigued constant-ly if I was to complete such a massi-ve project and I felt that infraredwas that medium.”

Daviews is known for her adven-turous technical experiments, soshe decided to capture her year ininfrared. “There is no formula thatI could find to explain how variousorganic/inorganic items lookwhen photographed in infrared.”

This means she learnt somet-hing new every day while busywith the project.

“Leather shows up pink, dogs’tongues go blue. It was incredible

and exciting to see the results.”Although she feels like she

knows the medium better afterworking with it so long, her biggestchallenge was “shooting blind”.

“What I mean by this is the filteron the front of the lens is very darkso I could hardly see anything andauto focus does not work.”

Over the year, Davies says she le-arnt how to estimate focussing dis-tance, how to let go of shots thatdon’t work out as planned and tobe excited by the ones that do work.

Her collaboration with the onli-ne portal will make her photo-graphs accessible nationwide in aninteresting and commercially via-ble way. “Spree, since its incepti-on, has always strongly supported

local design and is synonymouswith making local designers acces-sible to all South Africans throughtheir ecommerce site.”

The images they selected are be-ing printed on men’s and women’st-shirts which are available to pur-chase on the website. “Spree keptme involved in the process and va-lued by input, and I am thrilledwith the outcome and think thet-shirts look spectacular.”

Although the collaboration wasa bit of a “different” project forboth parties, Davies says her invol-vement with the portal shows thepublic that companies are willingto invest in local talent.V Her tshirts will be available fromSpree.co.za until the end of February.

UCT graduatechanged rugbyFew people are able to say they have

helped to change the way rugby isplayed around the world.

But this is something University of CapeTown PhD graduate Dr James Craig Browncan say with confidence.Brown’s thesis evaluates the effectiveness

of the BokSmart programme, a nationwideinjury-prevention programme for rugbylaunched in 2009 by theSouthAfricanRugbyUnion (SARU). The programme aims to re-duce the incidents of rugby-related cata-strophic head and neck injuries.Through his research Brown, who gradu-

ated with a PhD in December 2014, foundthat the scrum engagement sequence in rug-by was dangerous and needed to be adaptedto improve the safety of the players.His research helped to contribute to a new

“crouch, bind, set” sequence in rugby whensetting the scrum, as opposed to theprevious“crouch, touch, set” sequence.SARU first announced this change at

school and amateur rugby level in 2013.“The rest of the world followed SARU’s

lead six months later,” says Brown.Based on Brown and his team’s identifica-

tion of the most common injuries at the an-nual SARU youth weeks, the SARU medicaldepartment also drafted a “minimum safetystandards” document to make medical sup-port teams aware of the most likely injuries

to happen and matches.“Together with SARU’s medical depart-

ment,we developed a general rule to allocatethe number of medical doctors to tourna-ments based on the number of serious inju-ries per match.“This seemed to increase with the age of

the attendees, so that the under-13 tourna-ment had the least serious injuries, and un-der-18 had the most serious.”Brown’s research found that BokSmart

was able to reduce catastrophic injuries injunior (school boy) players, but not senior(adult) players after its launch.The study also found that player behav-

iour had improved over this period. Howev-er, Brown says that although there waswidespread positive response towards theprogramme, some coaches from high socio-economic-status teams felt that the pro-gramme was a waste of their time as theyperceived the risk of catastrophic injury totheir teams to be negligible. Having playedrugby all his life, Brown says he has a “hugepassion for the game”.Wanting to complete a PhD that not only

providednovel information to theworld, butalso had a direct application and improvedrugby player safety, led Brown to the thesis,Safer rugby through BokSmart? Evaluationof a nationwide injury prevention pro-gramme for rugby union in South Africa.

SPORTSEAN CAMPBELL

The highly anticipated, potential league-deciding match between Giants andCrusaders truly lived up to the pre-

match hype.It was fast, exciting, action-packed and

with the short game squeezed in aswell. Bat-tle lines were drawn as supporters fromGrassy park and Kensington came out intheir numbers to support their teams.

The Giants started with Jaydee Thorneand he contained the Crusaders’ hitters forsix innings before he exhausted his 110pitches allowed for the day. Thorne (6 in-nings, 2 Hits, 3 BB, 5K’s and 2 HBP) was re-placed by Kurt Pretorious at the top of the7th inning with the score 7-4 to the Giants.

This is where the wheels came off for theGiants, as Pretorious (0.1 inning, 1 Hit, 3Runs, 3 BB) struggled to find the plate andwas later replaced byCarloKoks in the sameinning. Crusaders found Koks’ pitching totheir liking. Koks finished the game (2.2 in-ning, 5 Hits, 3 BB) but was also sabotaged bythe Giants poor defence. The Giants made 5errors in the game.

Crusaders surprised the Giants by start-ing with the experienced Benjamin van derRoss. This almost backfired on Crusaderswhen Van der Ross conceded 4 runs in thefirst inning. Van der Ross (2.1 inning, 3 Hits,3 BB and 3HBP) was quickly replaced by theyoung Cameron Fortuin. Fortuin did muchbetter (6.2 inning, 6 Hits, 0 BB and 7 K’s) andmade scoring difficult for the Giants. Cru-saders were fortunate that the four errorsthey made weren’t as costly as the Giants’errors. Carlo Koks 4/5, 1 RBIwas theGiants’best batter. Aldrin Hendricks 2/3, 2 RBI’sand Cameron Fortuin 2/5 were Crusaders’best batters.

* In Softball action, Glenthorn A defeatedFalcons 6-3 on Saturday to secure their thirdsuccessiveWestern Province Softball Feder-ation (WPSF) Super League Championshipwith three games still to be played.

GlenthornAhas a very successful fieldingunit spearheaded by cousins Alex and Ni-cole Fortune, which is well complementedby the powerful and effective pitching ofLauren Mulder and she was well supportedby the standout hitting of Carla Swanepoeland Lisa Erasmus.

Glenthorn A remains on course for theLeague and Knockout Double when theyface Falcons in the final next month.
