TAURIQ HASSEN
BLOSSOMING concerns around the GreenPoint Common becoming overused has ledto a request to relook at the management ofthe public open space.The Green Point Common comprises of
the Cape Town Stadium, Green Point Park,the leased sports fields, athletics stadiumand Green Point Track.Concerns aremainly around the Common
playing host to more organised events thanacting as a designated public open space.Residents have nownoticed an increase in
noise, waste, safety and traffic-related is-sues.Green Point resident Louisa James finds
“no pleasure” in the activities around theGreen Point Park any longer, as she believesthe facility is being “poorly managed”.
“In the beginning it was okay, but noweverybody hosting a big event in Cape Towncomes to this area.We already have somuchactivity around the stadium,” she says.James explains that during the last event
at the park, her garage had been blocked forseveral hours and shewas told by traffic offi-cials that the event was too large to try find-ing the vehicle’s driver. “People don’t wantto be sour about these matters, because it isa beautiful area andwe can understandwhypeople choose the park. However, if every-body uses the facility regularly for an event,wemight as well declare the space an eventslocation,” James says.Diederick Nathaniel Mayor shares his
neighbour’s exact sentiments and adds thatthe facilities will be worn down if overused.“The City has to manage these facilities
correctly and the residents cannot be ex-
posed to activities every week,” he says.“This is still a residential community and
the City and the whole of Cape Town shouldrespect that. That is why proper manage-ment is needed.”Last year, more than 75 events were host-
ed at the Green Point Common and fears arerampant that the number might double thisyear.Green Point Ratepayers andResidents As-
sociation chairperson, Bob Goebel, believesthat “too many directorates are running thecommon”.He explains that the increase in the
number of events at the common has result-ed in the association drawing up a noiseguideline. The guideline clearly stipulateswhat is and what is not exceptable in the ar-ea. “The problem is that many of the organ-isers of these events do not realise what is
exceptable in this area. They don’t realisethat this is also a residential community andin the end, we sit with all the complaints,”Goebel says.He adds that the association backs the lo-
cal councillor’s motion to relook the man-agement of the Common.Ward councillor Beverley Schafer is
aware of residents’ gripes and she fears thatthe Common is fast becoming an “events lo-cation” rather than the public open spacethat it is meant to be.“We feel this very busy public space will
require one directorate over which allevents and issues are overseen,” she says.Schafer has now tabled a Motion of Exi-
gency at a recent Tourism, Events and Mar-keting portfolio meeting calling for “effec-tive management” of the Common and forone directorate to bemanaging the facilities.

For-getting your shopping bag at home will costyou 6c more for each plastic bag you buy.People’s Post interns Tarren-Lee Habel-

TTHERESA THERESA TSE:SE: “This is going to upset mostpeople. People in this country love to social-ise and drink. It will affect them because itmeans they will have to pay more to drink.”
PHOTOS: TARREN-LEE HABELGAARN AND LUZUKO ZINI
WWARDARDAH VAH VANAN DER SDER SCHYFF:CHYFF: “The sin taxdoes not apply to me; I don’t drink. Increas-ing it will hopefully decrease the number ofpeople who drink. With the price of plasticbags increasing, more people will recycle.”
HERMAN VHERMAN VANAN WYK:WYK: “With everything in-creasing, food prices will go up and the ma-jority of people will be affected because theywon’t be able to afford what they need tosurvive.”
SHAMIELSHAMIEL ALBERALBERTYN:TYN: “Businesses and peo-ple living below the breadline will be affect-ed the most by these increases. The govern-ment needs to make sure that taxpayers’money is used to improve the lives of poorpeople.”
MARMARCEL YCEL YSLIE:SLIE: He has mixed feelings about sintaxes and other increases and says while havingthe price of plastic bags increased is a good thing,fuel increases are always a setback. “If plasticbags cost more, less people will buy and that willhopefully reduce litter.”
WWAAYDONYDON WEBER:WEBER: He says the continuous increas-es are “becoming ridiculous” and soon people willnot be able to afford even the basic necessities.“Petrol increases really affect me because I driveto work every day. I need my car for the work Ido, so I can’t travel by public transport.”
MARE-LIZEMARE-LIZE KROKROTIN:TIN: She says although fuel in-creases are always difficult to swallow, she wel-comes the increase in sin taxes. “There are manyof my friends who are trying to quit because ofthe increases which I think not only helps them,but saves money and is good for their health.”

TAURIQ HASSEN
KEEP you mutt on a tight leash –Law Enforcement officers arewatching.
Dog owners face hefty fines ifthey are caught walking theirmutts without a leash, but thiswarning seems to be falling on deafears, some walkers say.
A number of fights, peoplechasedbydogs and fears that some-body could be seriously injured arein the offing.
Last week, a Mouille Point resi-dent spotted two dogs angrily chas-ing each other across the grassysurface, thinking they were onlyplaying.
However, the one dog grabbedthe other by the neck and thingssoon turned ugly.
Martha Hayding, a resident anddog owner, immediately came tothe aid of the smaller dog andclaims that the owners of both petswere “nowhere to be seen” at thetime. “I am an animal lover and itwas really frightening to see that.The little dogwas actually runningaway,” she says.
Hayding explains that ownerssoon came rushing down the prom-enade and claimed that the dogshad run-offwhen theyhadbeenun-leashed. “The signs clearly statethat dogs must be on a leash. Al-though the dog was not seriouslyinjured, that could have beensomebody’s child or the resultcould have been worse,” Haydingadds.
Another resident, Greg Gilowey,claims to speak on behalf of many“off-leash” dog walkers at theMouille Point Lighthouse andpointed out one specific owner
with his one-year-old Rottweiler.He explains that fights occur “al-
most every night”, which has re-sulted in injuries and vet visits.
“The owner bluntly refuses toleash the dog or have him neu-tered. This is an ongoing problemthat is going to end badly – eitherwith a dog killing another animalor attacking someone else,” hesays.
If found walking your dogs out-side the “free-running areas”without a leash, you face aR500 ad-mission of guilt fine.
Owners walking “dangerous”dogs without a leash in publicspaces face a R2000 admission ofguilt fine.
Owners urging any dogs to at-tack, worry or frighten any personor animal also face a R2000 admis-sion of guilt fine.
The area across WinchesterMansions, Sunset beach and theright-hand side of the MouillePoint Lighthouse are declared as“free-running areas”.
The rest of the Promenade walk-way is a dog on leash zone and nodogs are allowed on the beachesalong the Promenade.
WhenPeople’s Post arrived at thelighthouse last week, there wereseveral dogs running around free-ly and on most occasions, dogswould rush over to leashed dogs toget a sniff.
The City of Cape Town’s execu-tive director for Safety and Securi-ty, Richard Bosman, confirms thatthe areas around the lighthouseare declared as a “free-running ar-ea”where dogs are allowed to be offtheir leashes.
He explains that the City has notreceived any complaints regarding
the dogs, but Law Enforcement offi-cials are in charge of patrolling theCity’s parks and other public spaces.
JaneMeyer, the co-ordinator of theMouille Point Ratepayers Associa-tion, also encouraged dog ownerswanting their dogs to run freely to usethe “free-running areas”.
“This area was specifically createdfor this purpose and if people do notlike the thought of dogs running free-ly, they should use other parts of thepromenade, where dogs have to be ona leash,” Meyer says.

PLANS by the City Of CapeTown to improve the lives of peo-ple living in poor areas havebeen met with mixed reviews.The City has budgeted R18 bil-
lion for service delivery for thisfinancial year and R10.8 billionis being spent on service deliv-ery to the poor.Planned projects include the
continued supply of electricity,toilets and waste removal.For this, R1,9 billion has been
set aside by Electricity Services,R1,7 million by the Water andSanitation department and R832million by Solid Waste.But while provision is being
made to help shackdwellers en-joy a better quality of life, resi-dents and community leadersfeel this is not enough.Kenneth Prins has been living at The
Kraal informal settlement in Bo-Kaap for 16years and say theyhave been “forgotten” bycouncil.“Some of the people have been here for 45
years but still don’t have ahouse or electric-ity. We hope the plans by the Citywill bene-fit us, so that we can also have houses,” hesays.Suleigah Toffah, another Kraal resident,
echoes Prins and is tired of struggling.“We desperately need houses and elec-
tricity. We want the houses to be built hereand we do not want to be moved to anotherarea,” she says.“Our shacks are leaking and we are wor-
ried about how we are going to cope whenit’s winter. We just want a better life for usand our children.”Providing electricity and water to infor-
mal settlements is only a short-termanswerto the real issues, says Osman Shaboodien,the chairperson of the Bo-Kaap Civic Asso-ciation.
“We need to have long-term goals so thatwe can eradicate informal settlements inthe province.“By providing themwith houses we don’t
only improve their conditions but also givethem dignity,” he says.Mayor Patricia de Lille says while every
effort is made to improve the living condi-tions of shackdwellers, vandalism is cost-ing council millions of rands.Over R100 million has been spent on re-
pairs to damaged infrastructure in the over200 settlements in the city – in the last fivemonths.“For every stepwe take in providing serv-
ices to our poor communities, we take twosteps back because of vandalism,” she says.Meanwhile, the City is also in the process
of meeting with suppliers of innovative so-lutions to prevent shack fires.One such idea is a candle holder propped
up by wire to prevent it from falling over.This was designed by a student at Stellen-bosch University.
Better life for all?
BETTER CONDITIONS: Suleigah Toffah’s grandchildrenJunaid Kelly, Badrudene Oliver, Yusra Meyer and LailaOliver can look forward to having light at night at theirhome should the Kraal residents get what they arewishing for. PHOTO: LUZUKO ZINI

Main Road (M4) Bus and Mini-bus Taxi (BMT) lane.Upgrading the BMT lanes is
an attempt by the City to gainfull benefits for public transportover private transport.The City has embarked on
three processes to improve theenforcement of the Main Roadpublic transport lane which en-compasses improving infra-structure, signage and lanemarkings; appointing addition-al traffic officers dedicated toM4 BMT lane operations duringpeak hours; and upgrading ex-isting and installing additionalIntelligent Transport Systems(ITS) to assist with active trafficmanagement and traffic law en-forcement.Improvements to the ITS will
include nine new CCTV camer-as to take the total number upto 17; 5,5 km of new optic fibre;new traffic signal controllers atexisting intersections; and newradar traffic sensors along theroute to measure traffic vol-umes and speeds.This component of the project
will be completed in June thisyear at an estimated cost of R3million.The City is also providing
new Automatic Number PlateRecognition cameras that will
be used to assist with the en-forcement of the BMT lanes onthe N2.These are expected to be com-
missioned later thismonthat anapproximate cost of R3.6 mil-lion.These systems will be used by
City officials working at theTransport Management Centrein Goodwood to actively moni-tor and manage traffic alongdedicated public transportlanes, and to initiate traffic lawenforcement interventionswhen and where necessary.Brett Herron, the Mayoral
Committee member for Trans-port, Roads and Stormwater,says: “The City is committed toputting steps in place to stop theillegal use of the public trans-port lanes. Our aim is to removeany impediments to the effec-tive operation of the publictransport lanes as speedily aspossible.”He explains that the use of
technology is an “effective forcemultiplier”, ensuring a swifterand more effective responsefrom traffic officials when thelaws are contravened.“Our dedicated public trans-
port lanes are there to ensure asafer and more effective systemfor the public and we cannot al-low private and commercialroad users to hamper that,” hesays.The installation of Variable
Message Signs and more radartraffic monitoring sensors willform part of a future ITS imple-mentationphase to beundertak-en in the 2013/14 municipal fi-nancial year.

FEARS that vagrants will return to theHelen Suzman Boulevard bridge in GreenPoint are running riot.Vagrants previously used the areas under-
neath and on top of the bridge as shelter forthe night.Despite a number of interventions from
police, improvement districts, City of CapeTown and the Salvation Army, the bridgesaround the boulevard remains a lodestonefor vagrants.Last month, the Green Point and Oranjek-
loof City Improvement Districts joined po-lice, the SalvationArmy andmembers of theCentral City Improvement District to cleanthe area around the bridge.Eight people, along with their illegal
structures, were removed and the SalvationArmy managed to relocate six people, alongwith their structures, from the area belowthe bridge.Chief Executive for GP and OK CID, Marc
Truss, says that the City of Cape Townshould take responsibility for the area.“Theymust come to the party as it is their
land. We do understand that it’s not as sim-ple as waving a magic wand and the prob-lems will be gone,” Truss says.He feels they are “making no head way”
when attempting to remedy the problemsaround the affected area.“This is a problem we are trying our best
to tackle, but there needs to be furthermeas-ures put in place to avoid this from happen-ing in the future,” he says.He explains thatGPandOKCIDhavebeen
monitoring the situation around the boule-vard for the past two years.“Our resources are very limited, but we
will continue to work hard on that spot andwe will not stop until the matter is properlyaddressed,” Truss says.He previously suggested that the area be
fenced off, but still maintains that it shouldbe the City’s responsibility to address thematter.“Whether they close the area off or con-
duct daily inspections, the City must tacklethis issue as they own that land,” he says.Green Point resident Belita Atkins con-
tacted People’s Post last week and pointedout that a number of vagrants have already
set their sights on the spot.She explains that vagrants were once
again spotted under the bridge with trolleyloads of what seemed to be personal belong-ings.“I drive past the area every day and in the
past you would get glimpses of fires beingmade, fights spilling over into the streetsand people bathing in the open,” she says.“I spotted some vagrants under the bridge
recently. Are you telling me they’re not set-ting up camp again?”Another worried resident, Wayne Cuzan,
reported a number of concerns to councilaround the vagrancy issues at the bridge.Cuzan’s worries are vagrants drinking in
public, illegal occupation of the land, dan-gerous fires being made, anti-social behav-iour and the state of the area once vagrantshave moved on.“I’m sure there are plenty of other people
concerned around this matter. If there arepeople doing something about it, it’s clearlynot working, because they keep returning tothis site,” he says.An angry Cuzan suggested that a profile
be done on the vagrants sleeping under thebridge and once they are removed, theyshould be placed in an institution wherethey can be monitored.“If these vagrants are caught again in the
same spot, you can pull up their file and youwill know who the repeat offenders are.What is happening nowhas to be against thelaw,” he says.Ward councillor Dave Bryant confirms
that the area falls under the Integrated Rap-id Transit (IRT) Project, which aims to im-prove thepublic transport systemwithin thecity.Since 2007, the City has been working on
the first phase of an IRT system in CapeTown, with the first leg primarily dedicatedto the Bus Rapid Transit system.He adds that measures, such as “spiked
rocks”, have already been implemented inorder to prevent vagrants from sleeping inthese areas.“This problem are ongoing and we are ful-
ly aware of the concerns around that spot,”Bryant says.The area is currently being prepared for
the MyCiTi bus service, which could be theanswer to the problems below the bridge.

EACH age or season has its own characteristics. The1960s, for example, was the era of “make love, not war”.Fast forward to the present and we have the age of tech-nology.We press buttons and life happens.What, then, would future generations make of this era?
Instantpersonal gratificationcouldbe themarkof today’ssociety.People want things now. They want it their way. They
want it to suit themselves. To say this is selfish is tanta-mount to calling the Black Death a minor inconvenience.It wasn’t, and neither is narcissism.People bent on destruction will often take the path of
least resistance. This is why the vulnerable in society isoften victimised.And those structures which can least afford it become
easy pickings for vandals.Schools are broken into. Supplies are stolen and dam-
aged. Classrooms are vandalised in horrible ways. Crech-es and even places of worship don’t fare any better. Noteven the dead are spared to rest in peace. Cemeteries aredefiled and become a home for the homeless.Perpetrators would not easily do damage to a police sta-
tion or even a hospital.The sentiment that damaging a school is equal to doing
harm to the community it serves, seems to fall on deafears. For some it is easier to steal and break down thanit is to build and be part of a healthier, wiser and moreeducated future.Yet it is the children from those communities who will
be left without.Do the math. More time cleaning a trashed classroom
means less time teaching and learning.More books stolenmeans children have to share text books, as well as studytime and homework sessions. More windows brokenmeans more exposure to the elements.How to foot the bill of replacing what was broken and
stolen? This is the first thought entering the mind of vic-tims and probably the last of those who do the damage.
Abortion affects familiesIN LATE January, the Islamic Unity Con-vention Women’s Forum hosted its fifth an-nual Surghatul Mou-oodah – the Cry of theAborted Child – programme at MasjidulBaghr to commemorate all the victims of in-fanticide.On 1 February 1997 abortion-on-demand
was legalised in South Africa.The legalisation of abortion was justly op-
posed byMuslims and faithful Christians inSouth Africa, on the basis of horrendousbloodshed.Since then, more than a million babies –
and counting – have been killed legallywith-in the wombs of their mothers, with taxpay-ers’ money. But in that fateful decision, gov-ernment did not take into consideration thedestructive effects itwouldhave on the fami-ly unit.We are referring to the idea of legitimate
fatherhood.The decision whether to have an abortion
now famously rests between the “womanand her doctor or back street abortionist”.Who ismissing from this? Entirely left out
of this life-and-death question is whether ornot the woman is married. If she is married,should her husband, the legitimate father ofthe child in question, have any say in thematter?Our country is in conflict about the legal
worth of the pre-born baby.While fathers have to be included in law-
suits surrounding adoption and visitationrights, they are excluded from the decisionwhether or not their children will have theright to be born.The assault is, therefore, on the concept of
legal paternity.It is said that “a society whose sexual de-
sires are out of control, is doomed to perish”.
We can conclude that Western democra-cies, like South Africa, are financially feed-ing the abortionof family life, by subsidisingfornication and making funds available forthe use condoms in schools.The State aids teenage pregnancies
through the issuing of social grants to teenmothers, and for the past 16 years the statehas been financially aiding abortions-on-de-mand and, in the name of reproductivehealth, have been financing contraceptivesfor young girls as young as 12.South Africans are witnessing the grave
consequences of how taxpayers’ money areused to break down the family unit, insteadof strengthening society.Kathleen Park said: “Whenweweaken the
family unit, we become vulnerable to otherforces. Incrementally, governments fill thevoid once occupied by parents.”Indeed a very true statement, as the state
is financially feeding the un-fathering andun-mothering of society.This uncontrolled sexual behaviour
among teens is a direct consequence of somany divorces and short-term marriages.For what can be left of marriage when the
sanctity of themarital bedhasbeen contami-nated by pre-marital promiscuous behav-iour?The State will be showing more compas-
sion for its people if they are prepared torather spend taxpayers’ money by financial-ly supporting young people becoming re-sponsible adults that will eventually be anasset and not a liability to the country.On the other hand, the onus lies with the
faith communities to turn their homes intoplaces of worship as morally unclean peoplehappen to be alienated from God.Magboeba Davids
Accurate and straight to the pointPEOPLE’S POST’S comment (“Do some-thing”, 10 February) articulated my feelingsexactly.All of us need to take responsibility for the
society we have created.No one is born a rapist or murderer.Neither is poverty an excuse for creating
the monsters we have created.Many of our finest citizens have been
raised inpoor communities,with lovingpar-ents who have been able to foster ideals ofintegrity, honesty and conscience.Wealsoneed to stopblaming theapartheid
era. Find and support organisations such asThe Maternal, which supports pregnantmothers, the Parent Centre, the SaartjieBaartman Centre and Rape Crisis.Gill Lanham
Men, changeyour viewsTHESE past few months, civil society haswitnessed the abhorred acts of violence andthe horrendous rape of young women andchildren. What astounds me is, despite themedia attention and the outrage displayedin respect of the brutal rape and murder of17-year old Anene Booysen in Bredasdorp,our women continue to fall victim.The seeming pandemic continues unabat-
ed with reports of the same sordid killingand rape of innocent women in Atlantis,Philippi and Grabouw. When will (it) end?This is the stark reality facing women and
girls who remain trapped in fear of becom-ing victims. The shooting of ReevaSteenkamp by her boyfriend, paralympianOscar Pistorius, may seem unrelated to theaforementioned cases, but yet another wom-an has perished, and this controversial trialwill further highlight the plight of women.Men need to do much introspection.The pain that these tragedies bring upon
families is insurmountable and I believe themedia hype has merely articulated an age-old scourge of gender-based violence, whichis deep-rooted in the psyche of SouthAfricanmen. To what can this atrocious dilemma beattributed to? Do we apportion blame to thedark and violent days of apartheid and itsnegative connotations?In theWestern Cape, do we blame it on the
pandemic of drug and alcohol abuse, and es-pecially callousness and violent acts with-out a conscience when a cocktail of tik andheroin is imbibed? Or could it be ascribedto poverty and unemployment exacerbatingthe problem? Statistics indicate that vio-lence against South African women and thedeath rate is the highest in comparison tosimilar developing countries.The recent spate of crimes against women
is an indicator that rape and murder has noclass or race distinction, and abject povertyin townships or opulentwealth in plush sub-urbs are no longer distinguishing factors inSouth Africa.We are living in a sick society and men
must take responsibility to up the cudgels totransform and renew our perception ofwomen in a traditionally male-dominatedrealm.Mark Kleinschmidt

Port Elizabeth – Municipalitiesaround the country are beingbrought to their knees by ruthless
syndicates who are responsible for citiesand towns losing millions every month.The theft is relentless. In one of the
more recent examples, the NelsonMandela Bay Municipality said it waslosing 24 mi l l ion each month .eThekwini ratepayers are reported tobe losing R120 million a year.The Cit ies of Cape Town and
Johannesburg lose about R121 million andR663 million respectively. The crime has
also been reported as one of the factors thatbrought uMsunduzi Municipality to itsknees. Many other smaller municipalitiesare likewise being devastated.The crime behind these losses is
electricity theft and happens in variousforms. Syndicates employ individuals whoare desperate for work to sell illegalprepaid electricity vouchers, to connecthouseholds illegally, tamper with theirmeters, or to steal electricity cables.The culprits do all of this at a fee,luring innocent people into crime. Thesesyndicates often pretend to be employees
of Eskom or local government, intimidatingand vict imising ordinary cit izens,preventing them from taking action.Recently a large quantity of electricity
boxes, connectors and a receipt book werefound during the arrest of suspects inPort Elizabeth. The receipt book includedaddresses of buildings in Cape Town,George, Knysna and Port Elizabethwhere electricity boxes were installed.Investigations are ongoing and informationfound in the receipt book could lead tofurther arrests. The perpetrators couldface serious criminal charges.
Local government has joined forces withthe power utility Eskom, the businesssector and the media to stem theflow of losses caused by electricity theft.The South African Local GovernmentAssociation (SALGA) is a core partner ofOperation Khanyisa, a campaign thataims to mobilise all South Africans forlegal, safe and efficient electricity use.SALGA has recently committed to
redoubling its efforts to combat thecrime of electricity theft, which it saysis responsible for municipalities losing upto R3.2 billion each year.
According to SALGA’s ExecutiveDirector for Municipal InfrastructureServices, Mthobeli Kolisa, SALGA needsto coordinate and support municipalities toact and report their action in respect ofelectricity theft, and to review their by-laws to have more stringent penaltiesagainst electricity theft.At the launch of Operation Khanyisa,
Xolile George, CEO of SALGA, describedelectricity theft as “a pandemic coursingthrough our delivery capabilities and fiscalplanning.”“Local government,” he said “plays a
pivotal role in the distribution of electricity,and electricity theft hits at the very heartof the electricity distribution industry inSouth Africa.”“Enough is enough,” George continued.
“We have joined forces with our partners inOperation Khanyisa and will stamp outthis crime.”Together with Crime Line, Operation
Khanyisa provides a platform for SouthAfricans to report electricity theftanonymously, by sending a detailed SMSto 32211 (R1/SMS).For more information on how to report or

Eagles kill Snipers’ aim at HartleyvalePRINCESS PRO SERIES defending
champions, the Enriching Life Eagles,are on track to claim their third title
in the tournament after a victory in theiropening game on SundayThe Eagles were expected to continue
where they left off last season and see off theSynsport Snipers with ease, but the opposi-tiondidn’t seem tobe reading from the samescript and went into the half time breakleading 2-0.The defending champions managed to
pull level the scores by the finalwhistle, andwent on to win the resulting showdowns –similar to a soccer penalty shoot-out – 3-0.Andrew Winter was the Player of the
Match for the Snipers, while Keenan Hornetook the honours for the Eagles.There were goals aplenty as the other Pro
Series games at Hartleyvale continued,with two goals ormore being scored in eachmatch.In the opening men’s match, the Printing
Press Pharaohs put four unanswered goalspast the Strata Civil Serpents, scoring twoin each half. Lungile Tsolekile, a 2008 Bei-jing Olympian, was named Man of thematch for the Pharaohs, while Mark Wil-liams took the honours for the Serpents.The opening encounter for the ladies was
dominated by the Eurolux Fireflies, forwhom SA women’s player Ilse Davids wonthe pink socks, awarded to the player of thematch. Candice Manuel was named as theTeamStrikers Player of theMatch althoughher teamwas on thewrong side of a 2-0 drub-bing.In the second women’s game, the Jewel
Africa All Stars had the better of a hecticfirs- half, leading the Maidens 4-2 at thebreak.
Four more goals were recorded in a moreeven second-half, although the All Stars –whose Player of theMatch was captain Jen-
na Cunliffe – ran out 6-4 winners in a ten-goal thriller. Nicole Bartsch walked awaywith the pink socks for the Maidens.

Annual walk a success – againLIAM MOSES
A LOUD bang from the starting pistoland they were off – 20 000 people walk-ing through the streets of Green Point
and Sea Point in the annual Sunshine D Po-lar Ice Cream 10km Big Walk.The walk, of which People’s Post was the
printmedia sponsor, has grown tobeahigh-light on the Cape Town sports calendar andneither the early start nor the rising tem-perature kept walkers from lining up enmasse at Cape Town Stadium on Sunday.Elias Parker, convenor of the executive
committee for thewalk organisers, thankedall thewalkers for their support of the eventand the charities which will benefit fromthe proceeds.“The organisers really believes that the
community has taken ownership of thisevent and we are privileged to host thisevent every year, as well as being able tobe of service to our people,” says Parker.“They are the true inspirational force be-
hind this event. They have made this aniconic event. We do the preparation workand we find satisfaction in that, but thisevent would not be successful if not for thesupport. Thousands of people have walkedin the last few years so they have escalatedthis event to the pointwhere it is recognisedas the third biggest walking event in CapeTown.”This year theRedCrossChildren’sHospi-
tal Trust and Islamic Library will again bethe beneficiaries of themoney raised by thewalkers.Since the inaugural event in 2000 over
R1.35m has been raised for the HospitalTrust and been used to upgrade and main-tain the hospital’s facilities, to improve lifefor patients.Last year alone R150 000 was raised for
thehospital, and substantial sumshavealsobeen donated to the Islamic Library, theLeague of the Friends of the Blind and Giftof the Givers.Any funds donated to the Hospital Fund
this year will be used for the constructionof a new radiology department, which is ex-pected to cost over R40m.This year, walkers were also addressed
by Fikile Mbalula, the national Minister ofSport andRecreation.All finishers receiveda medal and cash prizes were awarded at alucky draw after the race. The main prizewas two airline tickets to Dubai and $500spending money.
