Peter Olivier, who is from Cape Town but now lives in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, cannot under- stand why his friends were attacked on their way from that port when they had planned to sail south to dock the yacht in Richards Bay. International Relations Department officials in Pretoria and European Union authorities have said the yacht was captured by pirates off the coast of Kenya, to the north. Olivier said a ruptured Achilles tendon, which he suffered while playing cricket, saved him from the ill-fated journey on the S Y Choizil. News broke on Sunday that Somali pirates had captured Bruno Pelizzari and his girlfriend, iden- tified only as Deborah, who were crew on the yacht owned by South African skipper Peter Eldridge. Details of the hijacking are sketchy but author- ities have confirmed that the couple, who come from Durban and are members of the Bluff Yacht Club, were taken hostage. A French frigate, on patrol to protect vessels car- rying aid to Somalia, spotted the yacht on Sunday, but when it tried to get closer to the yacht, the warship came under fire. After running the yacht aground, the pirates tried to force Eldridge and the couple off the ves- sel. But Eldridge stared them down at gunpoint. Seafarers’ Assistance Programme official And- rew Mwangura yesterday said Eldridge had refused to leave his yacht and was rescued. “The pirates forced the couple off the yacht and we believe they are being held on the Bajuni island of Koyaama on the southern coast of Somalia.” Mwangura said Eldridge “seemed OK” and had been taken for medical tests. Eldridge is now staying at the South African High Commission in Nairobi. Olivier, who pulled out of the trip weeks before the three set sail on October 21, said he was “well aware” of the route that the S Y Choizil was set to take and that it was nowhere near Kenya. “They would have been sailing south and not north so they would have been attacked some- where near Tanzania not Kenya,” he said. Mwangura denied media reports that the hostages had been killed. “The pirates will keep them alive because they will want to use them to bargain for a ransom,” he said. Mwangura told Reuters earlier this week that So- ■ But new research is helping schools make sure girls don’t get left behind Shock Bay teenage pregnancy rates STILL MISSING ... South African couple Bruno Pelizzari and his girlfriend, identified only as Deborah. Brian Hayward [email protected] GROUND-BREAKING research at Nel- son Mandela Bay schools has revealed shocking pregnancy rates among pu- pils as young as 15, with one school having to deal with 35 pregnant pupils within the past year. But though the school principal says the problem is widespread, and getting worse, the research has allowed authorities to in- stitute programmes that help pregnant girls finish their studies. In the first study of its kind for the Bay, research by Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University education professor Randal Grebe has found that pregnancy rates among pupils – especially in areas where poverty is rife – are continuing to increase, specifically because the problem is widely ignored by communities. Grebe focused his research on Gelvan- dale High School, which is one of the city’s worst-affected schools when it comes to teen pregnancies. Of about 650 girls at the school – there are 1 300 pupils in total – 35 were pregnant this year. According to essays by the pregnant pu- pils, submitted anonymously as part of the project, parenthood and the prospect of raising children was extremely daunting. “My boyfriend was supportive when I told him I was pregnant, but he has not seen the baby yet. He has not given me any fi- nancial support,” wrote a 17-year-old pupil who recently gave birth. Cricketer seeks asylum after death threats DREAM COME TRUE ...

Picture: BRIAN WITBOOI REPORT CONTINUES: P2 RUNAWAY Pakistan cricketer Zul- qarnain Haider is seeking asylum in Britain, telling Home Office officials that crooked bookies threatened to murder him unless he agreed to rig international matches. The 24-year-old left the team’s Dubai hotel before dawn on Mon- day and caught a flight to London, just hours before a one-day inter- national against South Africa, a game in which he was scheduled to play. South Africa won the match to clinch the series 3-2. Since his arrival at Heathrow, he has been speaking to British immi- gration authorities in the hope of being granted asylum. He told them he would rather quit international cricket than “sell out the dignity and respect of my motherland” by agreeing to throw matches. He said he had received the first death threats last Friday night after scoring the winning runs in an ODI against South Africa. Yesterday, Haider gave details of his discussions with the British au- thorities to Pakistan’s Geo Tele- vision. “I was approached by one person who asked me to fix the fourth and fifth matches (against South Africa) and said there would be a problem for me if I did not do it,” he said. “I do not want to say who is involved and who is not involved in the match-fixing.” He claimed underworld gangs betting on Pakistan to lose Friday’s match had been angry when he scored an unbeaten 19 that includ- ed the winning runs. The Pakistan victory tied the series 2-2. “I have decided it is best for me to retire from international cricket since my family and I are constantly getting threats.” British authorities have prom- ised him the services of a lawyer and Pakistan’s High Commissioner to Britain, Wajid Shamsul Hasan, said the embassy would give him any assistance he might need. A senior Lahore police officer said security at Haider’s house in the city had been “beefed up”. British Home Office spokesman Simon Barrett said immigration pol- icy did not allow him to comment on individual cases. In August, Pakistan players Salman Butt, the former captain, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif were accused of involvement in an alleged betting scandal during a Test in England. – Sapa-AP and Sports Staff REPORT CONTINUES: P2 WINNING WEAR ZULQARNAIN HAIDER THE HERALD Due to popular demand, our Out Of Warranty Service Special is still available! *Terms and Conditions apply - Contact one of our dealers for details.
