WYNBERG POLICE CLUSTER

Safety plan revealedASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Acommunity safety plan for the Wyn-berg Police Cluster was revealed at thePolicing Needs and Priorities (PNP)

Safety Plan workshop.The workshop was hosted by the Provin-

cial Departement of Community Safety onFriday 18 and 19 September in Ocean View.

The Wynberg Cluster includes Claremont,Diep Rivier, Fish Hoek, Hout Bay, Kirsten-hof, Mowbray, Muizenberg, Ocean view,Rondebosch, Simon’s Town and Wynbergpolice stations

The stations were broken up into groupsand discussed several issues and formulatedtheir concerns and objectives as part of theirsafety plan for the cluster.

One of the concerns was the lack of inte-gration of government departments in ad-dressing the root cause of crime with the ob-jective being to ensure that government de-partments account to the communitypolicing forum on their services and to en-sure communication among stakeholders.

Wynberg CPF chairperson Shamila Nich-olas gave feedback on professional policing.

“The safety concern raised was related toinsufficient staff at all police stations in thecluster. While new recruits have been ap-pointed to alleviate the backlog identifiedpreviously, this is not sufficient for require-ments,” she says.

Nichols says that new recruits also spendtwo years in training before they can be fullyoperational and the lack of staff creates ex-treme pressure on police officials as they

take on the workload of more than one per-son and are not able to address all com-plaints.

“They have poor reaction time and insuffi-cient authorised drivers in some stationsand often also do not spend enough time inthe charge office,” she says.

The concerns also include absent staffwhich further impacts on service delivery.

Nichols says their objective is to informthe provincial police commissioners andcluster of the extent of the shortage and tofind alternative ways of managing with thestaff shortage.

“Our first step would be for police to com-pile a report on staff levels at each precinctand to present it to the community policingforum at a meeting. Our deadline for thisfirst step will be October,” she says.

Some of the other issues discussed relatedto the lack of youth programmes contribut-ing to the hight level of crime in communi-ties and the objective for the groups is to co-ordinate youth programmes in an attempt tomake communities safer. Another concernrelated to the public not feeling confident inreporting crime to the police – especiallyagainst women and children.

The group’s objective is to improve the re-porting of crime to ensure victims of sexualoffences and crimes against women and chil-dren feel comfortable to report crimes.

Errol Wood, vice chairperson of the Clare-mont Police Cluster Forum, gave feedbackon the discussion of public spaces and saysone of the concerns include gangsterism es-pecially in Parkwood.V Continued on page 3.

this because we tell and showpeople that we are human too.They shouldn’t just see us at the

charge office. The communitywill see their police officers sothat when they knock at theirdoors to attend to anything itwill be people that they knowmaking the job easy for every-one. This is also about getting toknow one another so that it canbe easy to fight crime.We are al-so human, so should there beanything that is a problem inthe community, they must letus know – we are always thereto help,” she said.Mouton added that they also

used the day to encourage thecommunity to be part of theneighbourhood watch. “Wewant more people to join theneighbourhood watch. We arehappy that there is a good rela-tionship with the communityand we want to maintain that.We want people to know eachother so that it will be easy tonotice people that are not fromthe area who are there to com-mit crime. Last year after theevent a lot of people joined theneighbourhood watch. We hopethat it will be the case as wellthis year so that we work to-gether in fighting crime. Peoplemust use the services availableto them.That iswhywebroughta lot of them here so that theyknow what’s available forthem,” she said.Peter Anthony, a resident,

said it was so much fun to wit-ness all the various activities.“We are made aware of the ser-vices that we should make useof.

Be vigilant against crimeTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Following several break-ins in Pine-lands, residents were left questioning

their safety and asking themselveswhat todo in case of a break-in.Two weeks ago five houses were broken

into within an hour with the same modusoperandi. It has come to light that most ofthe homes targeted have armed responsecompanies and the alarms were activatedat the time.The alarm LED light, which shows that

the alarm is activated, is visible from thestreet making it easy for the burglars toplan their move.These break-ins happened around the

same time and most homes were in dark-ness, showing no signs of anyone being athome. The perpetrators ring door bellsand, when not answered, get confirmationthat no-one is home.Residents are urged not to leave their

rubbish bins outside thewhole day, whichis also an indication that nobody has comehome. Also themere act of not clearing the

post box showed that there was no-one athome, giving the buglers an opportunityto break in.Some of the houses that were broken in-

to had very “light” drive way gates andother security gates with no anti-liftbrackets.Pinelands Police regard the crowbar-

style invasion as serious andwould like toassure all residents that everything possi-ble is being done to reduce these incidents.Pinelands StationCommanderLieutenantColonel Helena Mouton confirmed thebreak-ins but said there is nothing to wor-ry about. “With everything being on thesocial media it’s easy to say crime is outof hand but it’s not the case. The incidentsof break- ins is happening everywhere andwe have sharpened out patrols there isnothing to worry about. No one has beenarrested yet but since that incident theyhaven’t come back. We are also urgingmembers of the community to be vigilantand report any suspicious activities.”Pinelands Neighbourhood watch says

residents should also play their part in theprevention of these incidents.

Peter Anders, chairman of the Pine-lands neighbourhood watch, urged resi-dents to be vigilant and safe.“In the event that you are at home dur-

ing a house robbery, please do not resist.Nothing that you own is more valuablethan your life. Have an emergency plan inplace, or a safe room and some means ofcommunication other than your cell-phone,” he says. He also shared some to-doitems to ensure safety:1. Become involved in your community.

Report suspicious people and vehicles.2. Criminals do not want to get caught.

Use timing devices to switch lights on andoff. Hide the LED alarm light so that it isnot visible from the outside. If you are athome, make sure that it is obvious. Havelights on, and always answer if someonerings the doorbell – but don’t open the doorunless you know you are safe.3. Fit anti-lift brackets on your gates.4. Always answer the doorbell if it is

rung. If no-one replies and you can’t seeanyone, do not go outside. Call security.5. Don’t leave your home in darkness.6. Don’t leave your bin out at all.

“School children are involved in gangs andschools need to takemore action to dealwithgangs and drugs,” he says.Wood says their objective would be to

raise awareness of drugs and gangs with theaim of reducing the occurrence of childrengetting involved in gangs and drugs in thecluster.

Their first step would be to have the CPFsidentify the schools needing interventionand forward the list to the various depart-ments.“The CPF will alert the education depart-

ment of these issues, and advocate for ran-dom searches of children’s bags in an effortto reduce the occurrence if illegal drug useand gangsterismamong children in the clus-ter,” says Wood.

He also raised the issue of prostitutionwithin the cluster.The groups also discussed the issues of in-

formal trading, car guards and beggers har-assing tourists and the public, illegal occu-pation of municipal property and homelesspeople, including children, on the streets.All of the concerns were raised and each

topicwas discussedwith an objective formu-lated to tackle the issues soon.

Indonesia for a Round Square Internationalconference in Singapore on Thursday.Their school is a Round Square school,

meaning they belong to Round Square In-ternational which allows them to send pu-pils to the conference each year it happens.The lucky learners who will be going are

Brandon Reynolds, Goosain Allie, Aa’ishahEmeran, Zarmeen Khan, Rebecca Pitt andFatima Dirk, who will join a group of 1 000students from90 countries attending the an-nual conference.To qualify to go abroad, they had to write

amotivationwhile their parents take the fi-nancial responsibility to send them there.The theme of this year’s conference is

‘Act today, change tomorrow’. They willfirst attend a pre-conference programme inMalaysia before the conference in Singapo-re that runs from 2 October to 8 October.The school believes this trip will offer the

students the opportunity to acquire theknowledge, skills, attitudes and values nec-essary to shape a sustainable future.Sheryl Gelderbloem from the school’s

marketing andadmissionsdepartment saysthe trip is part of their association withRound Square International.“We have no doubt that it gives our stu-

dents thewonderful opportunity of not onlyvisiting other countries, but also getting toknow children from other cultures and pos-siblymaking friends for life. Itwill alsohelptheir holistic learning, build confidenceand offer them the opportunity to learn

about other countries and cultures.“They will be attending talks and partici-

pate in discussion groups. Apart from alltheir work they will have the opportunityto play as well by taking part in various funactivities,” she says.One of the parents, Zainub Emeran, says

they are extremely proud of the trip. “Wehave never been so happy. I’m proud, butat the same time nervous as well. This issomething big, but I am broad-minded.“It is a great opportunity for everyone,

but as a parent you have some fears. In thesame breath I can safely say that they willbe in very good hands.“They will learn a lot and be with other

people and learn from them as well. I can’teven find the words to describe the way I’mfeeling. I am overwhelmed, to say the least.We hope that they will have a safe trip andenjoy the outing, and we will pray for theirsafe return.”The Round Square International confer-

ence is a global association of schools onfive continents sharing unique and ambi-tious goals. Beyond academic excellence,learners attending Round Square schoolsmake a strong commitment to personal de-velopment and responsibility.TheRoundSquareapproachpromotes six

ideals of learning, which are international-ism, democracy, environment, adventure,leadership and service.These are all incorporated into the curric-

ulum throughout all member schools.“In addition to regional and international

conferences, as a Round Square school, wehave access to exchange programmes, in-ternational services projects and gap yearprogrammes,” says Gelderbloem.

Parkings ‘hijacked’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Parking bays across the City were hi-jacked on Friday, as Capetonians cele-

brated PARK(ing) Day.The event is part of an annual open-

source global event where citizens, artistsand activists collaborate to temporarilytransform metered parking spaces into tem-porary public places, or ‘parklets’, explainsOpen Streets’ Marcela Guerrero Casas.

Open Streets is one of the organisationsinvolved in the event, and is mobilising oth-ers to join the initiative and transform aparking bay for the day.

“We are encouraging people to get in-volved and share their ideas through a Fa-cebook event and created an outdoor officewith some games in front of our office inHarrington Street,” she says.

The global event began in 2005 when a San

Francisco art and design studio converteda single metered parking space into a tem-porary public park in San Francisco.

The mission of the local PARK(ing) Dayis to call attention to the need for more ur-ban open space, to generate critical debatearound how public space is created and allo-cated, and to improve the quality of the ur-ban human habitat.

Guerrero Casas says the initiative shouldhowever go further than just one day.

“In Cape Town we could never buildenough parking bays to satisfy the seeming-ly insatiable need for more parking spaces.The solution lies in a new long-term ap-proach to mobility and how the city centreis maximised for all users. After all, only aminority private cars as their main form oftransport in the city.

“PARK(ing) Day provides us all with anopportunity to really see how we can usepublic space differently,” she says.

Pupils learn about home safetyTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Grade 1 pupils from Hillcrest PrimarySchool inMowbrayhad a splendid yet ed-

ucational day at the Red Cross MemorialHospital Childsafe SA facility where theywere taught about basic home safety.More than 60 pupils from the school visit-

ed the facility to learn how to prevent inju-ries – mostly burns – that happen at home.

Last year the traumaunit attended to 1 677cases of patients that suffered burn wounds.

The most common burn was from hot wa-ter – around 1 355 burns.In an effort to help reduce that number

and to ensure children are taught about thissafety issue, Warrant Officer Derek van derMerwe from Mowbray Police Station orga-nised a tour to the Childsafe SA facility atthe hospital.

Most of the child victims that come to thehospital are injured at home andmost of theinjuries could have been avoided.

“I try to get children frommy area to comeand learn about their safety. I always makesure that they are taught about safety issues.This is the first visit of its kind that we orga-nised this andwehopewewill be doingmorefor the children as they need to learn moreabout basic home safety,” he says.The children who visited the facilities

first watched a movie on safety before theywere taken to another wing whith a homeset-up.

There they were taught about the dangersof playing with detergents, plugs, candlesand stoves, and asked to pass the messageto their parents to keep things that smallchildren can reach away from them.

The programme facilitator Yumna Abra-hams says prevention is better that cure.

“Having kids at these facilities is part ofsolving theproblembefore it happens.Thereare so many things that they learn here andshould apply at home or tell their parentsabout, so that we don’t have a lot of childrencoming to the hospital because of accidentsthat happened at home,” says Abrahams.“Our main focus today was on burns as

this is the most common injury. Many atimes amothermight be in a rush and leaveskettle cables hanging, or the handles of potsand pans in a position where a child canreach them and burn themselves.“Ourmessage is that parents should be ex-

tra careful in the house and ensure that chil-dren can’ reach anything that can hurt themin order to avoid burns or other accidents.”

Apart fromburns, Abrahamemphasisedthat detergents should be kept out of reachas well. The hospital received a number ofchildren who got burnt because they wereusing a microwave to cook noodles, andeven some who drank cleaning detergents.“Parents must cook for their children

and make sure that it is not too hot beforegiving it to them.Noodles are easy tomake,so we find a lot of kids making them forthemselves and ending up with burns.

“Detergents should be locked away orput on high shelves where they can’t bereached,”she says.

“We have also seen an increase in thenumber of children who come to the hospi-tal after taking pills. We are pleading with

parents and guardians to please lock away allmedication. Children should not be able to gethold of it.“Having children here helps us a lot as they

go back and share the message at home, andwe invite more people to come and learn sothat we can reduce these accidents.”Eleanor Hardy, a teacher at Hillcrest Pri-

mary school, says this is a good back-up ofwhat they teach the kids.V For those who want to visit the Childsafe SA facilitiescan call 021 6855 208 to make a booking and learn moreabout child safety at home.

With the turn of the weather, more people are coming outof the winter slump in celebration of just about every-thing.September is not only the month we celebrate Heritage

Day, but also the month we celebrate many days andweeks in recognition of health and well-being.The month plays host to awareness of Albinism, Bone

Marrow Stem Cell Donation and Leukaemia, CervicalCancer, Childhood Cancer, Eye Care, Muscular Dystro-phy and Oral Health. It is also National Heart AwarenessMonth and the National Month of Deaf People.While Headache and Migraine, Pharmacy, Kidney and

Back Awareness celebrate weeks, some conditions, suchas Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, International Gynaecologi-cal Health, World Suicide Prevention, National OralHealth and National Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dis-order (ADHD) also have special days dedicated to them.The question we should be asking ourselves is “is it

enough to only pay attention to our bodies once a year?”The awareness programmes do their job – bringing rec-

ognition to these sometimes overlooked disorders and ill-nesses. It forces some people to take tests and pay a littlemore attention to their health, or to donate to a worthycause. But is enough being done to leave a lasting impres-sion on us?What will it take to get us to sit up and listen?Will we only act when it affects us?Reality is that we should be looking after our oral

health, our hearts, our eyes and our bodies in general.Many serious ailments can be cured if caught early and

inmost cases prevention is key. Is it not thenworthknow-ing that everything is running in tip top shape?Experts recommend a visit to your doctor at least once

a year, but most people just don’t bother.In the end, health officials will talk and promote taking

care of yourself, but taking action is up to you.

Together we must find solutionsOn reading your very informative articleon “Where must homeless go?” (People’sPost 15 September), one must beconcerned at the growing number ofhomeless on our streets and be party toa solution.You are correct. Everyone has rights

enshrined in our laws.As homeowners, in our various

suburbs, who diligently pay taxes, whyshould these communities have to accepthomeless people squatting in theirparticular suburbs, defecating indiscrim-inately and leaving excess litter every-where?I am sure the law of our land does not

condone any of the above.A further concern with homeless

people illegally squatting in suburbs, isthe rise in the crime rate in our neigh-bourhoods, owing to these folk having tosurvive on the streetsThe authorities must always ensure

that everyone abides by the law of theland and no one must be seen promotingthe homeless to squat indiscriminately

wherever they feel fit to do so.It is up to the South African popula-

tion, and in particular, the government,to find solutions to this increasinghomeless problem, brought about bybroken homes, drug and alcohol addic-tion, unemployment and many moreissues which Mrs (Suzette) Little,Maycom member for social developmentand early childhood development, isfully aware of.In mentioning all my concerns, I

would also wish to be recognised asbeing part of the solution by suggestingthe following: We have all been remind-ed to not give money or food, whichentices the homeless folk to stay wherethe pickings are good. The public canhelp by purchasing special mintedcoupon coins equivalent to R50 whichcould be handed to the homeless beggarsin order for them to exchange at thenearest night shelter for a place to sleepand a plate of food.This concept must be well worked out

to avoid exploitation and it must be

funded and promoted by government asa public contribution programme.Printed paper coupons are too easilyexploited. Pressed coupon coins in acheaply priced metal are more difficultto counterfeit and can be recycled backinto the market in a controlled mannerwith the help of the shelters.In conjunction with the above sugges-

tion, it is essential that the governmentmakes funds available to build or rentbuildings and fund many more nightshelters as their contribution towardshousing the homeless, which in turnmeans that the homeless have no excuseto squat indiscriminately and illegallyon the streets.The homeless need two things – food

in their stomach and a place to sleep –and I am of the opinion that if mythoughts could be formulated in someway, it will go a long way towardsgiving homeless folk some dignity and asense of direction.

PAULEmail

Don’t turn blind eye to needyI feel so sad when people say “Please,not in my nice neighbourhood. Movethese homeless people!”I feel so sad when people who have

had all the privileges of a good educa-tion, as well as the opportunity for workand can therefore pay taxes, feel thatthey have rights that others don’t have.I feel so sad that in a country where

seventy nine percent of the populationclaims to be Christian, we don’t followJesus’ teaching to care for the thirstyand hungry, or the stranger, for thesick, the poor and vulnerable in oursociety. (Matthew 25: 35 – 40)I feel so sad because the biblical story

of Ruth shows how we should reach outto the vulnerable in our society bygiving a hand up rather than a hand-out.As a society we can make a difference

by working with organisations already

working with the homeless.U-turn is one such organisation

working in the Wynberg, Kenilworth,and Claremont areas.Rather than handing out small change

to those begging on the streets or tothose who come to our homes, weencourage people to give one of theU-turn vouchers. A voucher allows themto get a meal or some secondhandclothing at The Powerhouse, which isjust behind Stadium on Main in Clare-mont. U-turn also runs clothing stores,where good quality clothes can bepurchased by the public. By purchasingclothes in these stores, you help financethe work, as well as create trainingopportunities for those who want tomove off the streets and get back intothe workplace.

Oudejans talk hisway out againLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

ComedymagicianMarcel Oudejans is notjust an entertainer. He sees himself as

more of a “fun facilitator.”The Pinelands resident will be doing a

rare public show in Cape Town when hepresents Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk yourway out of this! as part of the Cape TownFringe Festival from Thursday.The show is a sequel to Sleight of Mouth

–Theart of talking yourway out of anything,which he performed at last year’s FringeFestival. The showwas incidentally also hislast public show in Cape Town. This yearthough,Marcel has awhole lot of new tricksup his sleeve.The new show features new magic, deliv-

ered in Marcel’s trademark witty “stand-up” style. There’s also more story tellingwith anecdotes abouthis travels and experi-ences as a magician.Performing magic for people who aren’t

expecting it, usually produces interestingresults. On one occasion, for example, hestopped for lunch on his way to a show anddecided to brighten someone’s day with amagic trick. “The woman freaked out be-cause she had no one around to corroboratethat it had actually happened.”One could almost sayMarcel’s comedy ca-

reer started with people who weren’t ex-pecting it. When other children were wait-ing tables, Marcel, who had already starteddoing shows at the Bellville Library overschool holidays, was performing in restau-rants for tips.Today,Marcel is one of the country’s lead-

ing performers. In 2008 he was recognisedas one of Africa’s leading magicians at theVismayan International Magic Conventionheld in India.Most of his work is for corporate events,

where he acts as emcee or more recently,teaches people about the importance of“play” in the workplace, or as he puts it “totake play seriously”.Marcel explains that learning to have fun

or embracing cultural arts, gives people ameans to express themselves, somethingwhich is essential to understanding otherpeople and having empathy.He works with businesses to help them

“create wow in customer service”, usingmagic to prove his point.Customer service is something Marcel

takes seriously and it’s important to himthat his audiences feel like they are getting

a genuine, sincere performance.This is where his improvisation skills

come in handy, giving him the ability toadapt to his audience and make his showsmore interactive.Although there’s a light narrative run-

ning through Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talkyourway out of this!, Marcel doesn’t like theidea of a magic show that’s too scripted.“You want to make the audience feel likethis is happening for the first time.”His performance at the Fringe Festival is

an opportunity to see another side of his ex-tensive repertoire and escape reality for anhour.Marcel says the festival itself is a chance

to see a wide variety of productions, fromtheatre pieces tomagic, in one place and ur-ges Capetonians to buy tickets early andsupport the local performers on stage thisyear.V Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk your way out of this!will be on stage at Cape Town City Hall Theatre 3at 19:30 on Thursday 24, Saturday 25, Tuesday 29September and Friday 2 October. Shows will also runat 17:30 on Saturday 26 and Monday 28 September,at 15:00 on Sunday 27 September and at 13:05 onThursday 1 October. Marcel will also be performing atthe Alexander Bar at 13:05 on Tuesday 29 September.Tickets cost R70 or R63 (concessions) at the door orfrom www.capetownfringe.co.za.

Marcel Oudejans brings his latest show to theCape Town Fringe Festival this week.

The Anova Health Institute is inviting localartists to take part in theirArt forAnova ini-tiative.In a bid to support local artists, Anova, an

NGO dedicated to improving health of allSouth Africans with particular emphasis onHIV, is inviting aspiring, local artists to up-load images of their paintings, drawings orphotographs (anything that can be hung ona wall), along with their dimensions, to theorganisation’s Facebook page.Anova will then curate a selection of their

favourite pieces for display at their offices,and to a broader audience at an unveilingevent. The artists selected by Anova will beoffered between R 1 000 and R 10 000 (in addi-tion to framing and couriering costs) fortheir creations. According to Anova’s headof marketing Nina Morris Lee the organisa-tion has decided to offer an opportunity tounknown artists instead of sourcing artfrom a gallery. The ‘Art for Anova’ initia-tive, running up until the end of October, isopen to artists who have never before beenrepresented by a gallery. Artists wishing totake part should post their image on thewallof Anova’s Facebook page and reference itas ‘Art for Anova’.V Visit www.anovahealth.co.za for more informationabout both the initiative and the organisation.

The explosive growth of moun-tain biking as a school sportwas once again highlighted

this weekend during the WesternCape finals of the Spur SchoolsMountain Bike League.

Showing an impressive increasein both participating schools andriders, more than 1000 riders repre-senting 60 schools battled it outthis season for the top spot on thelog and a place in the upcoming na-tional championships.

Stellenbosch-based Paul RoosGymnasium has once again showntheir supremacy by staying unde-feated at the top of the men’s logsince the inception of the league in2009 with 1 422 points, which alsosecured them overall second posi-tion. Parel Vallei from SomersetWest won the mixed team categorylogging an impressive 1 841 points,followed by Bellville’s DF Malan insecond place with 1 132 points.Mountainbiking has also in-creased its traction in the BreedeRiver area with Montana HighSchool from Worcester finishingthird with 1 086 points and Drostdyqualifying for the finals for thefirst time.

In addition the individual cate-gory winners also qualify for a spotin the finals. They include juniorboys champion, Daniel van derWalt of Fairmont High School; Alli-

son Morton of Westerford HighSchool who was undefeated in theyouth women category and teammate Courteney Webb who fin-ished top of the log in the juniorwomen category.

League organiser MeurantBotha of Amarider said that the or-ganic growth of the league hasproven that mountain biking car-ries huge appeal amongst youngercycling enthusiasts.

“It is an extremely encouragingsign for mountain biking as a sportdiscipline to see the enthusiasmwith which the South Africanyouth have embraced this exhila-rating sport. It is also promising tonote the significant increase in fe-male riders. Although primaryschools cannot yet qualify for theleague finals, it augers well for thesport that even our younger popu-lation segment are taking to thetracks,” said Botha.

The commitment from topranked schools such as Parel Val-lei, Paul Roos and DF Malan is agood indication that mountain bik-ing is on the fast track to becomingan officially recognised schoolssport discipline.

In order to make the league evenmore accessible to riders, the sen-ior (high school) categories weremoved to later time slots allowingfor those that participate in main-

stream school sports to fulfil theirschool commitments.

According to Botha, another ma-jor development since the incep-tion on the league is the shift to rac-ing on school grounds. “Develop-ing these tracks at schools not onlybrings the racing to the kids, butmore importantly places the sportright in the middle of the tradition-al and mainstream field and courtsports. This gives mountain bikinggreater exposure, relevance andcredibility.

The league will culminate withthe Spur Schools Mountain BikeLeague National Finals in October,when MTB fans from across Sub-Saharan Africa, including SouthAfrica and neighbours Zimbabweand Namibia will congregate atBekker School in Magaliesberg tocompete as schools as well as prov-inces for the coveted Spur SchoolsMTB League trophy and top spoton the provincial log.V For further information, follow them on@SpurMTBleague, log on to SpurSchool-sLeague on Facebook or visitwww.spurmtbleague.co.za.

The annual Cape Town marathon tookplace under uncharacteristically mug-gy conditions in Green Point over the

weekend.Local athletes, William Kaptein and Lebo

Dinah Phalula outclassed a quality field towin the men’s and women’s titles in the10 km run/walk on Sunday.While the endurance stars were battling

it out for the 42 km title, the speedstersshowed their class in a highly competitiverace over the shorter distance.Kaptein charged to victory in 28:34, with

Elroy Gelant taking second place in 34:10and Abed Nico Mashaba finishing third in34:20.In the women’s race, Phalula earned a

well-deserved win in 34:12, crossing the line

16 seconds ahead of Mapaseka Makhanya.“The 10 km distance is ideal for younger

athletes who are still building towards themarathon, and it is perfect for amateur run-ners who are not yet ready to tackle the clas-sic distance, so it plays an important role aspart of the Cape Town Marathon,” saidElana Meyer who is an ambassador for therace.“With road running experiencing another

boom in South Africa, we expect the 10 kmdistance to continue to grow in popularityin the years to come.”Meanwhile, in the main event, the 42 km

race, Shadrack Kemboi from Kenya provedto be the strongest athlete on the day, defy-ing weather conditions to notch up a win inthe men’s race.

Despite the dominance shown by the EastAfricans, there was a strong South Afrcancharge as Lungile Gongqa finished secondand Michael Mazibuko finished third.AnotherKenyan, IsabellaOchichi, earned

a superb victory in the women’s race.With humidity at between 70% and 80%,

the East African winners battled somewhat,while theSouthAfricans took full advantageof the overcast weather, putting in an excel-lent performance behind their internationalcounterparts.Kemboi crossed the finish line in 2:11:41,

with Gongqa taking second place in 2:11:59andMazibuko grabbing the final spot on themen’s podium in 2:12:29.Ochichi romped to victory in the women’s

division in 2:30:20, while Eunice Chumba

from Bahrain finished second in 2:33:12 andKenya’s Joan Rotich third in a time of2:37:45.“I always wanted amarathon victory, and

I believe that it would come inHonolulu, Ha-waii in 2014, but I got it today on my homecontinent – Africa – and I couldn’t be happi-er,” said Ochichi.The 42 km race boasted a large field of

5 728 participants in only its second year, inwhich it is aiming to achieve the IAAF’s cov-eted Gold Label status. A total of 4.5% of en-trieswere fromoutside of SouthAfrica,with51 countries represented at the race. Sixty-two entrants came from the USA, 21 fromGermany, 20 from theUK, followed by small-er numbers from Sweden, Kenya, Canada,Ethiopia, Namibia, Zambia and Japan.
