BRAZEN thieves are helping themselvesto the dunes at Sunrise Circle, allegedlyremoving bakkie-loads of sand severaltimes during the day.
And while Liz Linsell, a regular dog walk-er, says she has three times reported the mat-ter to the law enforcement officer in Muizen-berg, on Thursday an inspector told People’sPost “nobody complained to us”.
The inspector, who asked not to be named,says: “It is very, very strange (that they wereunaware of the alleged activities).”
He says he has never witnessed thieves inaction, adding law enforcement officers con-duct random patrols.
There is a R500 spot fine for offenders.Linsell says over the last eight or nine
months a sand dune the length of the car parkhas disappeared. “They looked at me like I ama looney bunny-hugger. I don’t think theypaid it much credence,” she says.
Car guards Peter and Clare Hyde are at thebeach every day.
They say from about 08:30, people arrivewith bakkies to load sand. They claim threeor four bakkies stop there each day.
On Thursday, when People’s Post spoke tothe couple, they had the number plate of thatmorning’s offender written down, but theyhave no camera to record the culprits.
Peter Hyde says: “They loaded up about 50bags. That guy wanted to fight. I asked himwhy he doesn’t buy sand and he said ‘it wasnone of my concern’.”
He also points a finger at council employ-ees. He says about a month ago a council bak-kie reversed onto the dune and loaded sand.He says one of the men, when confronted,threatened to hit him with a spade.
Peter says the men claimed to have permis-sion.
He says a council employee at the beachtold them: “Carry on, colleagues.”
He says during the dispute a law enforce-ment officer arrived and handcuffed him. Itwas only when senior officials arrived thatPeter was released.
David Muller, chairperson of the ZandvleiTrust, points out the area is part of a naturereserve. “People are just taking sand as ifthey own it,” he says, adding he receivesmany complaints.
Deon Bester, a manager at the Master
Builders Association, says using sea sand forbuilding is “not a recommended practice atall.”
He says: “It can affect the strength of themortar or concrete and could have far-reach-ing consequences.”
Bester says the sand contains impuritiesand the salt could cause steel bars used inbuilding foundations to rust.
Dr John Compton, an associate professor inthe Department of Geological Sciences atUCT, says: “These dunes are formed natural-
ly by the strong South-easter blowing drysand from the beach onto vegetation, whichholds the sand and forms a dune.
“If people are removing sand it is obviouslynot very pretty and also destabilises thedunes, making them more susceptible towind erosion.”
Compton adds the dunes also act as a natu-ral barrier against erosion and removingthem “increases the possibility of coastal ero-sion”. On Friday morning, no bakkies put inan appearance at the beach.
Councillor David D’Alton says he was notaware of the situation, but undertook to in-vestigate and report back to this newspaper.
Executive director for Safety and Securityat the City of Cape Town, Richard Bosman,says: “Staff have been alerted to the matterand will patrol the area daily.
“Removal of sand from our beaches is anoffence and offenders can be issued with afine if caught.”
Report sand theft to law enforcement offic-er at Muizenberg on (021) 788 1148.

DUNE PROTECTOR: Car guard Peter Hyde at Sunrise Beach, where a vast sand dune has allegedly been removed by thieves who arrive duringdaylight hours, seemingly unimpeded by law enforcement. The entire area on which he stands used to be a “beautiful” dune, he says.

aim is to create an epicentre of cultural ex-cellence by using the performing arts asa “prime catalyst of economic growth, hu-man development and social cohesion”.The Artscape Theatre Centre, which be-
longs to the provincial administration,was opened on 19May 1971 as the NicoMa-
lan Theatre Centre. In line with the newSouth African political dispensation andthe concurrent changes the complex wasrenamed Artscape in March 2001.Historically, the Cape Performing Arts
Board (Capab) was instituted in the earlysixties. The aim was to promote the per-forming arts and the arts councils re-ceived government subsidies to fund vari-ous art forms as well as the operational re-quirements of the theatre facilities.Artscape chairperson Professor Soma-
doda Fikeni and CEO Micheal Maas willreveal the full scope of the plans of the Art-scape Live Vision 20!20 strategy at the Art-scape Opera House on the Foreshore inCape Town.Ample parking can be found behind the

Plumed and ready
Net still on trackTERESA FISCHER
TRIALS for the shark exclusion net atFish Hoek Beach will begin in December.
This is according to Gregg Oelofse, theCity’s head of environmental policy andstrategy. Some roleplayers involved in theimplementation of the shark exclusion netwere reluctant to confirm a date for its instal-lation.
Earlier this year the Fish Hoek Surf Life-saving Club expressed dismay at a delay inthe net’s deployment, originally planned forOctober (“Frustration at net delay”, People’sPost, 18 September).
The 285m net – designed to act as a sharkbarrier – will stretch from Jager’s Walk tothe Law Enforcement offices on the beach.
At the Keep Fish Hoek Beautiful awardsheld at the Galley on Tuesday, reference wasmade to the net being installed next month.
Oelofse says: “That is correct, the key word
is ‘trial’.” He adds the net has been orderedfrom the manufacturer and delivery is ex-pected by the first week in December.
He says meetings were to take place at theFish Hoek subcouncil yesterday to deter-mine appropriate times for the trial use of thenet, as the City did not want to interrupt thepeak season.
“It will be trial and error,” points out Oe-lofse, adding although there could be a “fewkinks” it was an “exciting time” and all thework had been done.
He says the moorings for the net are beingbuilt.
Oelofse says the trek net fishermen willhelp with the net’s deployment. He says theCity has come to an “in principle agreement”with the fishermen who previously ex-pressed concern the net would impact theirability to catch fish.
Subcouncil 19 chairperson councillor Fe-licity Purchase says they hoped to have thenet in the water by the end of the year.
Surfer rescues man (53)AN UNKNOWN surfer rescued a 53-year-old man near the Kakapo wreck at Noord-hoek Beach on Thursday.
The National Sea Rescue Institute(NSRI) Kommetjie volunteer sea rescueduty crew were activated at 15:01 by theTransnet National Ports Authority fol-lowing reports of a drowning in progressnear Kommetjie.
NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinonsays police had also received a phone callfrom a nurse reporting a 53-year-old pa-tient had gotten into difficulty while go-ing for a swim during a walk on the beacha care provider and the man’s dog.
NSRI Kommetjie volunteer crewlaunched their sea rescue craft and sever-al emergency services responded to thescene.
Prior to the NSRI sea rescue craft’s ar-rival, a shore-based search had com-menced and the man was found on the
beach, near the Kakapo wreck. Lambinonsays an unidentified surfer had rescuedthe man from the water after witnessingthe man getting into difficulties in thesurf.
Tom Coetzee, NSRI Kommetjie stationcommander, says a quad bike was used totransport the man, who showed signs ofhypothermia, to the Wireless Road carpark, where he was treated in a Cape Med-ical Response ambulance.
The man needed no further assistanceand he was safely returned to his resi-dence.
Darren Zimmerman, NSRI rescue heli-copter duty controller, says the surfer’sdetails were not obtained as he had leftthe scene before his information could betaken.
Zimmerman commends him for his ef-fort. Details of the man were also not re-leased.

Say ‘no’to bulliesWHETHER it’s a shove or nasty comment,bullying has a disastrous impact.
In a recent incident in Johannesburg, a pu-pil shot andkilled a classmatewhohadappar-ently been tormenting him – and others – foryears.But is enough being done to protectthose on the receiving end ofthe abuse? People’s Post in-terns Luzuko Zini andTarren-Lee Habelgaarnpolled readers. See vide-os on www.peoples-post.co.za.
TALK IT OUT: Ferdinand Nell believes bullyingis part of growing up. “It takes talking to a bullyto fully understand why they are doing that. Ithink it is more of a self-esteem thing; bulliesdo it for popularity or to boost their self-es-teem. Bullying is a natural part of being achild.” Photos: Luzuko Zini and Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn
CLOSEWATCH: Phakama Ncapayi believes pu-pils need to be watched all the time duringschool hours. “The police and school govern-ing body members must be visible at schoolsso they can identify the bullies.”
INTERVENE: Allen Rinquest believes parentsshould get involved. “Parents must stand upfor their children andgo to talk to the principalson how to stop bullying in schools.”
NO SUPPORT: Gilbert Mapfumo says bullyingis bad and thinks all people deserve to be treat-ed equally. “If you are taught from an early ageto respect each other and lead by example bul-lying wouldn’t be a problem.”
WALK AWAY: Deborah van Rensburg feels ifyou are being bullied, you should be the betterperson and not fight back. “If someone doessomething to you ratherwalk away. Sometimesit is difficult because teachers also victimisechildren. If a child does somethingwrong once,don’t always blame the same child when some-thing happens.”
EDUCATE: PeterMabutsana says parents needto teach their children how to handle bullyingand how to treat other people and children.Thatway it can be prevented. “If you are taughtthe right values and how to handle peer pres-sure by your parents from a young age it willhelp you. You will then have the right attitudeand will know how to handle it.”

Support group needs volunteersMANY people who have fallen victim tocrime have come to rely on the volunteers –often complete strangers – who give theirtime to help others cope.
The Victim Empowerment Programme(VEP) at Muizenberg Police Station was es-tablished to offer such assistance to victimsof crime. It is staffed by volunteers made upof concerned members of the communitywhose hearts go out to those who have beenviolated by crime. They help often by simplybeing present.
The VEP currently comprises nine trainedvolunteers who have given support to manyvictims of crime.
It is coordinatedby IvanAlmanoand facili-tated by Captain Stephen Knapp.
“The police station is a place we often asso-ciate with the detention of criminals and per-petrators and so often are the headlines ofmedia overrun with news of crime and abuseof the worst kind,” says Knapp.
The VEP invites the community to attendtheir open day, which will take place onThursday 29 November between 09:00 and14:00 at the victim comfort room.
It is situated on the first floor at the Mui-zenberg Police Station.
For more details or to offer assistance inany way contact the VEP on (021) 787 9000.

Kommetjie baboon killedTK5 – a former alpha male baboon, inte-grated into the Slangkop troop in 2009 –was one of two adult raiding male ba-boons recently euthanised.
TK24 of the Tokai troop was euthanised bythe Baboon Technical Team (BTT) after he al-leged attacked a lone female hiker in Tokaiforest on Thursday 15 November.
In a joint statement by the City of CapeTown, SanParks and Cape Nature the deci-sion to euthanise TK5 was taken after “ongo-ing and concerted management efforts” had“failed to curtail its habitual raiding in ur-ban areas”.
According to the statement, the baboonhad formed a splinter troop and was havinga “negative influence over the baboonswhich follow him”.
Originally a member of the Tokai troop,TK5 was relocated to the Kommetjie area aspart of BTT’s assisted dispersal protocol.They say he was since deposed as the alphamale and, over the past three months, haspersisted in breaking away from the rest ofthe troop to raid on his own or with a smallsplinter group comprising three females and
three juveniles.The BTT says: “During August and Sep-
tember, a TK5-led splinter troop regularlycrossed Kommetjie Road to raid people exit-ing Compass Bakery, as well as to raid hous-es in the Imhoff’s Gift area. They would alsoenter into Capri from the Solole Game Re-serve fence line.”
They say each time the splinter troopbroke away from the main troop, the rangerswere forced to split their resources betweenthe two troops.
“During August, TK5 gained entry to ahome by breaking down the door,” they say.
Also in August, TK5 allegedly chased along-time resident of Kommetjie while hewas walking on the Slangkop mountain.
The BTT says on two occasions in Septem-ber, “TK5 entered and terrified” residents inhomes in Imhoff’sGift. They addover the lastmonth, TK5 was leading the Slangkop domi-nant male (DG6) on raids and “leading himastray”.
The BTT says TK5 did not respond to extramonitoring tools, namely paintball markersand bear bangers, and he “sought on a dailybasis to evade the rangers so as to raid”.

Department has launched a newfunctionality on its fault report-ing system.Previously, when residents
and businesses contacted theCity call centre to report a faultor log a service request, the Citygave them a reference numbertelephonically. This lengthynumber was often difficult torecord if a resident was callingfrom a hands-free mobile deviceor did not have a pen and paperon hand, the City says.Customers contact the call cen-
trenoware given the optionof re-ceiving the referencenumberviaSMS or e-mail. This option
makes it more convenient forthem to keep the referencenumber so that they can followuponanyoutstanding service re-quests.”This is the first phase of a two-
phase initiative. In the secondphase, theCitywill senda secondSMSor e-mail to the complainantwhen the request has been dealtwith and has been closed on theSAP C3 system.“It is important that service re-
quests and logged faults are ac-knowledged and attended totimeously,” says Mayco Memberfor Corporate Services DemetriQually. “This new system willensure that where it is necessaryfor residents to followup on theirlogged requests, they have theirreference numbers easily athand.”

School’s outTWELVE years of schooling wind down formatriculants writing their final exams thisweek.
The holidays beckon. Some are castingtheir sights on an easy summer. Fingers aretrained on their cellphones to set in motionlast-minute plans. Rest, relaxation and recu-peration are on the cards.
Many matriculants and students are head-ed for the Plett Rage at Plettenberg Bay.
Some may have notions of using theirschool books as fuel for a bonfire or cut uphated school uniforms. They won’t have toface those dreaded teachers with their non-stop surprise quizzes, assignments and home-work. That is, until the reality of tertiary edu-cation kicks in. For many, the hard workstarts then. And most may deny it, but theywill miss their school days – and even thoseteachers who gave them a hard time.
These are the ones who will face hellishlylong queues for campus registration. Theywill make those absolute final choices overwhich courses to study. They will worryabout transport to new campuses, makingfriends, what to wear. Their parents will wor-ry about paying the university fees.
Four years will go by in a blink, then theywill wonder where they will find employmentas they clutch their newly-earned degrees.
Not so for the families of three matriculantswho died tragically on Saturday. The car inwhich the deceased – Keenan Smith, Leigh-Anne Swail and Kelly Ford – and fellow-ma-triculant Nazan Klaasens were driving collid-ed with a Golden Arrow bus on Spine Road,Mitchell’s Plain. Klaasens is reportedly in astable condition.
Instead of marking another milestone intheir lives, these teenagers will now be forev-er young. This tragedy is a reminder of ourown mortality and that life is, sadly, too short.
We ought to make the most of it – but sensi-bly. May all our young people take extra careand may the departed matriculants rest inpeace.
My relief at not being aloneWOW! As I started reading the article (“Walkingaway from the pain”, People’s Post, 20 Novem-ber) the hairs on the back of my neck stood upand I couldn’t help but shiver. This was just tooclose to home.
I have just come out of a 10-year relationship(and) a three-year marriage and every singleword Sheila told you is the truth: you blameyourself, you believe you did something wrong,this man was never like this before. Maybe Ishould have, as in her case, just left the ironingand made the sandwich. I cannot explain howvery real and completely emotionally over-whelming your article was!
Thank you for having the “balls” to writeabout such a whispered about topic!
Leaving is the hardest thing any woman everdoes, but looking back, I wish I had done it 10years ago. I am emotionally damaged and seethe effects our “fights” had on my now almost
two-year-old every day. It is horrible and heart-breaking, and you never think you are thatwoman.
I don’t know if you have any informationabout meeting places or somewhere womenwho were abused can go to. I would love to knowabout them if you do.

Creativedump aninspirationI WOULD like to express howimpressed I am with my visitto the dump in Kommetjie.
Preparing my garden forsummer resulted in a lot ofgarden refuse, which I tookto the dump. What a wonder-ful surprise awaited me.
From the man at the gate,one is met with friendlinessand courtesy, but what reallyimpressed me was the waythe men had set out the dumpand recycled dumped arti-cles. The path towards thegarden refuse section hasplants growing along the waywith decorative pieces dis-played. On the way out thereare sections with gardenchairs and tables, where Ipresume the men have theirlunch. When I commented toone of the men he said havingto work at the dump didn’tmean it had to look like one.It reminded me of MartinLuther King’s words: “If youare called to be a streetsweeper, sweep streets evenas Michelangelo painted orBeethoven composed musicor Shakespeare wrote poetry.Sweep streets so well that allthe hosts of heaven and earthwill pause to say, ‘Here liveda great street sweeper whodid his job well.”’ELAINE OAKLEYSilverglades
Estate agent bowls client overSO OFTEN estate agents appear to get a bitof a bum rap.
I have recently sold my house in Imhoff’sGift and purchased another in Capri. I hadthe pleasure of dealing with some wonderfulagents, Pepita Mace of Village Homes andMarie Coxford of Pam Golding Properties.However, the agent that stood head andshoulders above the rest was Willi Schalk ofPam Golding Properties.
What a wonderful agent he turned out tobe. I have never come across such a dedicatedand committed person. He also has a wonder-ful wife, Susi, who assisted him. Needless tosay, he sold my house and made the wholeexperience largely stress-free. Once again Ishould like to thank him for all his hard workand wish him many more happy sales.SHARON NICHOLSONCapri

Films withsubstanceINDEPENDENT filmmakers Sub-stance Films have undertaken tocurate the second instalment of afilm showcase, which is hoped willbecome a regular community-ori-entated event for Muizenberg.
Following on the success of the firstevent in October, Muizenbosch 2 willtake place on Saturday 1 Decemberfrom 19:00 until 21:00 at the Muizen-berg public pool.The theme is In Love With Local and
the selection of films will reflect abroad spectrum of independent films,all related to or created by Capeto-nians.The event also aims to function as
a creative community gatheringwhere the exchange of ideas and com-munication between like-minded cre-atives and film buffs can happen in arelaxed setting.Substance Films’ director Yvette
Lambrecht has been inspired by howforthcoming local filmmakers havebeen in contributing short films, docu-mentaries, animations and music vid-eos. It is her wish that Muizenboschwill spark other organisations to initi-ate independent film events, therebygiving filmmakers more outlets fortheir work to be viewed. “There are somany hurdles to getting our independ-ent works screened by our nationalbroadcaster that filmmakers and doc-umentarians have got to work togeth-er to come up with creative, new solu-tions to getting our films to our audi-ences.”Filmmakers are urged to get in
touch with Lambrecht if they haveshort films, animations, experimentalfilms or music videos they wantscreened at Muizenbosch.Everything will be considered, as
long as it is PG-rated.The Beach Buddies will be on patrol
and there is safe, free parking.R30 gets you in; no cost for children
under 13.Refreshmentswill be on sale.Strictly no alcohol is allowed, but
picnic baskets are welcome.

We work together to build a city that we can enjoy together.
City e-permitsystem on agrowth spurtSMALL business traders are taking tothe City of Cape Town’s online permitsystem.The City’s one-stop-shop online per-
mit system – or e-permitting – for in-formal traders has made it easier fortraders to identify and apply for trad-ing space in the city.This system forms part of the City’s
commitment to reducing the red tapeburden on small businesses, the Citysays in a statement.The online permit systemhas grown
considerably with 1 500 existing per-mitted informal traders being trans-ferred onto the e-permitting systemover the past year. “Following theCity’s informal trading plan process-es, a total of 3 977 dedicated and per-mitted informal trading site opportu-nities have been made available to in-formal traders by the City.”All existing City-permitted informal
traders are being transferred onto thedatabase on an area-by-area basis andshould be completed early in 2013.Once finalised, future traders wantingto apply for available trading space an-ywhere in Cape Town can go to awalk-in centre, where they will be able tocreate a profile on the database and ap-ply for available trading space.This single application system en-
sures the allocation of spaces to trad-ers is fair and efficient, says the City.“Available trading sites are easily
identified. Traders who are alreadyoperating in a space cannot apply foranother one somewhere else in the cityand those traders who have trans-gressed bylaws or are in arrears withtheir rental payments can be easilyidentified.”Mayoral Committee Member for
Economic, Environment and SpatialPlanningBelindaWalker says: “Oneofthemanywayswe are trying tomodifyand simplify regulatory processes tobetter accommodate small businesses.It is important that Cape Town is aplace where informal trading canthrive.”
‘Skud dit’, it may be the answerTERESA FISCHER
IN A tongue-in-cheek spoof, a fic-tional Ocean View couple says “zef”white rappersDieAntwoord“copiedtheir slang, music and style”.
This is the premise of a YouTube vid-eo byAhnie Brandt andRolanda Fisherof The Answer, which they filmed ayear ago. It has had over 50 000 hits.Just like Die Antwoord, The Answerdoes not shy from of explicit lyrics.Soon, the latter will be throwing a
“yaat party” with a difference.This is an intrinsic celebratory ritual
of theCapeColoured culture, says actorChase Downes who created the charac-ters Brandt (Downes) and Fisher(Trudy van Rooy).He says it is rare for someone outside
the community to witness such a party– an impromptu gathering which canhappen at anywhere.It often kicks off with one car stop-
ping and playing some music. Alcohol,braais and spinning (not on a bicycle)are all part of the mix.But on Saturday 1 December, UCT’s
Hiddingh Campus will find itself thevenue of a spectacular yaat party.Morethan 30 people from Ocean View willjoin the celebration.Itwill be “part performance, part par-
ty, part art installation,” says Chase.The performance byDownes andVan
Rooy on Saturday night will be part ofthe Gordon Institute of Performing andCreativeArts (Gipca) LiveArt Festival,taking place around Cape Town fromFriday 30 November to Tuesday 4 De-cember.Their slot will not be rehearsed, the
performers are “just being them-selves,” says Downes.He says the date itself is significant,
as on 1 December 1838, 39 000 slaveswere freed in the Eastern and WesternCape.He says UCT was specifically chosen
as it is a “racially contested place”.Downes studied at UCT and describesit as a “very white space”, but adds itis subtle – “the racism is not overt”.Downes adds people from all spheres
of the community were selected to jointhe performance. This includes thewealthier locals, as well as residents of
“die blokke” (flats).“This is an opportunity to explore di-
vision in our own community,” saysDownes.“Although people of colour are free,
Coloured people feel we don’t belong incertainplaces,” saysDownes,whogrewup in Ocean View.He went to school in Kommetjie and
Fish Hoek, and moved to the City, butrecently returned to the valley.“I had to leave to recognise thebeauty
and cultural wealth we have (in OceanView).”Downes says by embracing the stere-
otypes of Coloured people, he hopes todestroy these same stereotypes.This style is described as “anarchic”,
says Downes.The artistic tool he uses is satire – a
gross exaggeration of the misrepresen-tation of the Cape Coloured Culture incontemporary media and pop culture.Downes currently works at the Open
Door Valley development project inOcean View, teaching speech and dra-ma to youths.Visit the Gipca website www.gip-
ca.uct.ac.za for more information.

SKW prepare for the top flightLIAM MOSES
THE management of Schotschekloof Walm-ers RFC are bullish about their chances inthe SARU Community Cup, despite beingdrawn in one of the toughest groups in thecompetition.
SKW were drawn in Group A of the inau-gural tournament, along with Jonsson Col-lege Rovers (KZN), GAP Despatch (EP), Vil-lagers Worcester (Boland) and Sishen (Gri-quas).
But despite the quality of the oppositionin the pool the club’s director of coaching,Labeeb Levy, is positive his team is up forthe challenge.
“We are in the ‘pool of death’ becausewe’ve got the Eastern Province runners upand the Boland, Griquas and KZN champi-ons,” says Levy.
“But we are busy building our team andwill give it our best. At the end of the dayit’s 15 players against 15 players. You givepeople respect, but you don’t have to fearthem. You just have to prepare properly andtake the game to them. Hopefully the clubcan attract more players, administratorsand coaches.”
The tournament, which will replace theNational Club Championships, will kick offon Saturday 16 February and feature the topnon-university teams in the country.
Rovers are also the current National ClubChampionships holders, while Despatchfinished second on the Grand Challenge log– just seven points behind Nelson MandelaUniversity. Villagers won the Boland Pre-
mier League by 14 points and Sishen tookthe Griquas Premier League by sevenpoints.
SKW are set to start training for the com-petition this week and will focus onstrengthening and bringing depth to thefirst team squad.
They will need to finish first or second onthe table in order to achieve their primarygoal of advancing beyond the second roundof the competition. To achieve this, the willneed to defeat at least three of the teams inthe group.
Levy admits the other participating clubshave an edge on SKW in terms of resources,saying the club urgently needs to find asponsor if they are to compete at that level.
“We are lacking some resources, which wewill fill soon. We need to up our resourcesin all capacities – from players to facilities.That’s the shortage we need to fill else weare going to be in trouble,” says Levy.
“We are looking for sponsors, for financeand products. We (currently) don’t have asponsor, so we are looking for someone togive all of our players access to a gym, sup-plements and warm up equipment.”
SKW qualified for the tournament as awildcard selection, despite finishing belowHamiltons on the Super League A table.They will be joined by league runners-upDurbanville-Bellville.
. Durbanville-Bellville have been drawnin Group B, along with Pretoria Police (BlueBulls), Bloemfontein Police (Freestate),Welkom Rovers (Griffons) and AfricanBombers (EP).
Big hitting atSuper SixesLIAM MOSES
IT WILL be raining boundaries inWynberg this weekend when theWyn-berg Cricket Club Super Sixes tourna-ment takes place.
The Super Sixes will pit 12 teams of sixplayers against each other in 10-overmatches.
Each team will have just five overs toset a defendable score or surpass their op-ponent’s total, and every team member,except, the wicketkeeper will bowl anover.
This is the second time the tournamentis being hosted and Ebrahim-NadeemParker, head of youth coaching at Wyn-berg CC, says the format makes the gameinteresting for purists and casual cricketwatchers.
“We actually found that spinners werethe most economical, even though youthink they are going to get hit,” says Park-er.
“So you still have to play good cricketand use proper technique, instead of justtrying to bash the ball all over the park.It’s very entertaining and I think every-body really enjoyed themselves.”
The first instalment of the tournamenttook place in March, but the organisers de-cided to move the event forward on thecricket calendar as they felt Decemberwas more suitable.
The Super Sixes was created by Wyn-berg CC as an attempt to recreate the feelof the IPL for youths and, Parker says, allof the fanfare of the world’s most famousshort form cricket competition can be ex-
pected.“That’s why all the teams will have
their own colours and their own logo. Wesort of liven up the atmosphere and givethem a platform to enjoy themselves,” hesays.
“Fans can expect entertaining and at-tacking cricket, as well as a lot of fun. Weinterview the captains on the microphonejust like the IPL. They enjoy the spectacleof playing in a well organised tourna-ment.”
The inaugural tournament was won bythe Wynberg Warriors team and thechampions will return to defend theircrown.
Other teams participating are: Primros-es, Blue Bells, Strandfontein A and B, Hab-sani Royals, Kalusta Superchargers A andB, Groote Schuur, Wynberg, Pumas, Wyn-berg Warriors and St Augustines A and B.
These 12 sides will be grouped into fourpools of three teams each and, after around-robin stage, the top two teams willadvance to the knockout stages of the com-petition.
Several prizes will be up for grabs, in-cluding free entry to Ratanga Junction forthe winning team, a Cape Cobras jerseyand a signed Highveld Lions jersey. Thewinning team and individual award win-ners will also take home trophies andmedals.
Parker adds around 2 000 people are ex-pected to attend the tournament, whichstarts at 08:30 on Sunday 2 December. En-try to the ground is free and children’s en-tertainment will be provided.
For more information call Parker on079 525 0184.

Cape NFD derby set to enthralLIAM MOSES
SANTOS FCwill go into tomorrow’s clashwith neighbours Milano United flushwith confidence, after securing a moraleboosting victory in the National First Di-vision (NFD) over the weekend.
Santos been inconsistent this season, hav-ing lost twogamesanddrawnasmanyas theyhavewon, but the Lansdowne based club nowseem to have found their form.The People’s Team convincingly brushed
aside Witbank Spurs 4-1 at the Puma RugbyStadium on Sunday, claiming their third vic-tory of the season.However, Theo Hempe, head coach at Mi-
lano, believes his side will be more than amatch for their more illustrious opponentswhen they meet at Athlone Stadium tomor-
row (Wednesday) at 19:30.“It is a derby, so whether it’s a high scor-
ing or low scoring game, the aim is to win.We want to defend as well as we can, butat the end of the days it’s just about thethree points,” says Hempe.“We feel that we have the ammunition
and we have a lot of our players back frominjury. We are confident that we can pulloff the victory.”Milano’s record in the competition this
season reads exactly the same as their localrivals, with three wins, three draws andtwo losses.The Grassy Park club are currently just
one place above Santos on the table in sixthand theywill also be buoyed after their per-formance at the weekend.Milano returned towinningwaysonSun-
day with a 3-1 victory over FC AK at the
Rooikraans Sports Complex, after losing 3-2 intheir last game against league leaders Mpuma-langa Black Aces.The defeat was Milano’s first at home this
season and Hempe blamed his side’s poor de-fensive performance for the loss. He says histeam were much improved this time around.“Theway theplayers respondedafter our last
gamewas very positive; tt was a huge improve-ment. But there is still room for improvement,because we still gave them a soft goal,” he says.“If we defended better and pressed better
then the gamewould have been a lot easier. Weworked on our pressing from the front (afterthe last game). We don’t just want to blame our
defenders each time. It’s everyone’s responsi-bility. When we let in that soft goal, it justshowed us there are things we need to per-fect.”The Milano coach believes the battle for
control of themidfieldwill be themost impor-tant in tomorrow’s tactical war at AthloneStadium, but concedes the derby atmospheremay have an even bigger impact.“The biggest difference is the people know
every player. It’s just much more personalthan playing teams from Johannesburg. Thefinal thing is just about the passion; the pas-sion iswhatdrivesyouand takesyou throughthe game.”
