A derelict building in the Bo-Kaap is beinggiven a new lease on life.
Renovations are underway to trans-form the heritage building at 81 Dorp Street, re-cently declared a problem building site, into anearly learning centre.
Over the years, the property has changedhands numerous times, ward councillor DaveBryant previously told People’s Post (“Resi-dents’ homegroan”, 23 July 2013).
Locals have been complaining about illegalactivity at the former manor house for yearsbut, due to a hitch in a land transfer, the build-ing slipped further into disrepair. Attempts tobrick the building proved futile, as street peoplevandalised the property to gain entry.
The delay in transferring the property fromthe Progressive Muslim Trust to the Boorhaan-ol Trust saw it standing empty for several yearsand becoming a haven for vagrants and a sitefor illegal dumping.

Keep your home safewhen the lights go offTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
With darkness falling so early in winter,residents are urged to be aware and pre-pared for loadshedding in the future.Many people are under the incorrect as-
sumption that their home alarm is off whenthe power supply is interrupted. But if youhave a stable and correctly programmedsystem, coupled with a battery in good con-dition, it will continue to protect the prem-ises during a power outage.Adrian Good, a general manager at ADT
Security, says it is essential that residentsregularly test their alarm systems to ensurethat it is in working order.“Most modern alarm systems have a
back-up battery pack that activates auto-maticallywhen there is a power failure. Theonly time it may not function correctly isif there is a technical issue, or the batterypower is low,” he says.
Good adds that there are a number ofpractical steps to take to ensure security isnot compromised during loadshedding.Some of these include ensuring that thealarm system has an adequate battery sup-ply, that all automated gates and doors aresecuredand lastly to remainvigilant and re-port any suspicious activity to your securi-ty provider or the police.With the added inconvenience of the
lights going out at night due to power cuts,candles and touch lights are handy alterna-tives. Good says home and business ownersshould consider installing LED lights thatare integrated into the alarm system’s wir-ing. They automatically switch on for amaximum of 15 minutes when there is pow-er outage.“If there is an additional battery pack, the
small, non-intrusive LED lights can stay onfor the duration of the power outage or amaximum of 40 hours without draining theprimary alarm battery,” says Good.
Youth projectshows the wayMOT South Africa, a NPO that facilitates
a life-skills programme among theyouth, held its sixth annual general meet-ing in Bellville on Monday 22 June.The Western Cape minister of education
Debbie Schäfer was the keynote speaker.The meeting was attended by 168 mem-
bers, including MOT presenters, principalsat TVETcolleges andhigh schools andMOTyouthmembers. Itwas held during nationalYouth Month, focusing on MOT’s core fo-cus: Strengthening the courage and life-skills of the youth.The meeting was opened by Prof Eltie
Links, the chairperson ofMOTSA, followedby presentations from five youngsters ontheir experiences, challenges and lessonsthey have learnt, including how MOT hasinfluenced them.Schäfer started her speech by highlight-
ing the lack of positive rolemodels and asense of belonging among the youth.“We have to give people confidence and
a sense of belonging. We need to give them
a hand and lift themup out of their vulnera-ble situations. We need courage,” she said,impressed with the positive energy and ex-citement of the youngsters present.“I am pleased to see the results of this
project on the youth who are living underthe most difficult of circumstances. I amlooking forward to continue a partnershipwithMOT and encourage education depart-ment officials to partner with this project.Young people are South Africa’s future,”said Schäfer.MOT SA CEO Wanda Möller presented
the 2014 annual report and the audited an-nual financial statements were presentedbyMauricio de Faria, partner at RSMBettyand Dickson.Möller acknowledged and thanked the
presenters, corporate partners and spon-sors for their essential contributions tomake their work with the youth possible.V For more information on MOT South Africa, visitwww.mot.org.za, call 021 696 6610 or email [email protected].

Promoting transparency and accountabili-ty in the police service is the task of South
Africa’s first police ombudsman.The ombudsman’s office was established
under the Western Cape Community SafetyAct and is the only one in the country.Ombudsman Vusi Pikoli, previously head
of the National Prosecuting Authority, saysthe provincial department of communitysafety was receiving many service deliverycomplaints from the public. These were thenforwarded on to the police, as the departmentwasnot legally empowered to investigate anyof them. The Act now takes advantage of na-tional legislation allowing provincial gov-ernment to investigate complaints or set upa commission of enquiry, as was seen withthe Khayelitsha commission of inquiry.However, the ombudsman operates entire-
ly independently of provincial government,Pikoli says, and the office will “fiercely pro-tect” that independence.“We don’t play politics here,” he says. “The
question of crime affects everybody and weneed the public and police to trust and haveconfidence in us.”
Service deliveryThe ombudsman’s office oversees 151 sta-
tions across the province and 21 000 officers.Over 40 of these stations fall in theCapeTownmetro. The office only has three investiga-tors, which makes this a mammoth task.Since the office opened in mid-January, it
has received almost 150 complaints and en-
quiries, of which 48 have been resolved.The office aims to conclude a complaint
within three months, depending on the com-plexity of the case, Pikoli says.The ombudsman only deals with service
delivery complaints, suchas the failure of thepolice to arrive after being called out or beingrude to public visiting a police station.The office also looks into court caseswhich
have been thrown out due to investigationstaking too long, lost dockets or witnesses notsubpoenaed.
Sustainable solutionsThe ombudsman looks to find systemic
failures and come up with sustainable solu-tions, Pikoli explains. For every complaintthe office validates the claims and approach-es the police station in question for “theirside of the story”.“The majority of officers are good, law-
abiding people who want to do their job well.There are only a fewwho are not diligent andtarnish the name of the police,” he says.Theombudsman’s vision is to build a socie-
ty inwhich there is trust and respect betweenthe police and the community, Pikoli says.“If there is trust, crime will be reported.
But this trust has to be earned. The policemust respect the community, and the com-munity must respect the police. Our visionis of a police service that is accountable,” hesays.V Complaints can be made about the police, traffic officers and metro police in writing or an appointment canbe made with the office. For more information, contactthe ombudsman on 021 483 0669 or ombuds[email protected].
Vusi Pikoli holdspolice to account

Bike trails becomefamilyfriendly parkNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A community project is underway to up-grade mountain bike trails in Higgo-
vale.The Table Mountain Bikers have commit-
ted to upgrading trails along a green belt,between Leeuwenhof Road and Glen Ave-nue, to create an inclusive space for cyclistsand residents.
The cyclists frequently use the green beltafter evening mountain rides, and after re-pairing a few of the trails, realised the parkheld much more potential.
They have now raised funds to carry outan upgrade of the entire site, says TableMountain Bikers’ Robert Vogel.
The upgrade aims to revitalise a strip offorested green belt with a stream. He hopesthe park will be transformed into an adven-ture area, with the planned addition of ajungle gym, filled with both cyclists and lo-cal families.
“The area will be both child-friendly andfor serious cyclists. The trails will cater to
a range of levels,” he says.The trail upgrade comes as mountain bik-
ers are finding trails in the city few and farbetween.
Most of the mountainous areas falls un-der Table Mountain National Park; thereare only three trails on themountain. At themoment, one of these trails is closed follow-ing a fire earlier in the year, Vogel says.
“We don’t have many trails and there isalways a need for more,” he says.
A professional trail builder will come onboard to ensure the foundation of the trailsis solid, with the organisation then takingover the long-term maintenance.
The upgrade will see soil brought in tobuild a series of berms, or raised slopedsides, to allow the track to slope down,Vogel says.
“We’re bringing activity into the area andmaking the park safer. It’s also going toclean up the green belt,” he says.
“We’re not excluding anyone; we’re justbringing more users to the park.”
Vogel expects the upgrade to begin thismonth.
Mountain bikingtrails will beupgraded inHiggovale startingthis month.
More visitors to cruise into CTThe V&A Waterfront has been announcedas the preferred bidder in the developmentof a cruise liner terminal by Transnet Na-tional Ports Authority (TNPA).
The V&A is set to pump about R179m intothe terminal, and the agreement includesthe operation and maintenance and thetransfer of ownership back to the TNPA aft-er 20 years.
About 10 000 visitors arrive here on acruise each year and they generate aboutR200m for the local economy.
The plan to build a dedicated cruise linerterminal was announced three years ago,but has been delayed by red tape, includinga ban on cruise liners longer than 200mberthing at the Waterfront, instituted by
the department of home affairs.The facility will remain at E berth, Dun-
canDock, buthas thepotential to extend thefootprint of the V&A Waterfront into theport, linking the two.
According to the TNPA, there are plansfor the development to include retail andhospitality services.
The investment is a major boost for West-ern Cape tourism, says provincial ministerof economic opportunities Alan Winde.
“The V&A Waterfront is already a tour-ism landmark and can serve as the gatewayto the rest of the region. Cruise liner tour-ism presents a significant opportunity foreconomic growth and job creation,” hesays.

Assaf Yechiel can boast that he started hiscareer path to bartending at five years old,when he mixed his first drink of coughsyrup and Oros.
He is now a regional finalist in the Dia-geo Reserve World Class Bartender of theYear competition.
The competition is considered the larg-est and most prestigious event of its type,aiming to elevate the skill of bartendingand set trends in the service industryworldwide.
Yechiel, who works at Orphanage Cock-tail Emporium in the city centre, will nowgo head to head with his counterpartsfrom Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal in thenational finals, to be held in Johannes-burg from 14 to 16 July.
The competition is demanding, Yechielexplains, with mixologists required tocomplete three challenges.
“The participants will be pulling out allthe stops to be crowned champion. Expect
to see mind-blowing serves and tech-niques, wonderful theatrics, outrageousflavour combos and perhaps even a goodstory or two,” he says.
While Yechiel names his signaturedrink as tequila, he has also claimed astyle of cocktails combining a spirit, teasyrup and wine.
But Yechiel’s secret weapon is curiosi-ty. “It takes curiosity to train for some-thing like this; curiosity about ingredi-ents, flavour combos, bar techniques,spirit knowledge, and just about anythingthat remotely captures you. It all entailsa lot of research,” he says.
The global finals are also set to takeplace in Johannesburg and will bring ahuge boost to the local industry, Yechielbelieves.
“The country’s top bars have been gear-ing themselves up for the competition,where we will be seeing the most influen-tial names in the industry setting foot onour shores. The exposure will be para-mount to furthering theSouthAfricanbarscene,” he says.
Cape Town’s AssafYechiel will go headto head with othermixologists in thenational final of aglobal bartendingcompetition.

City warns against ‘buying’ housingEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
The City of Cape Town has urged resi-dents not to fall victim tohousing scams
which have been reported in some parts ofthe city.Benedicta van Minnen, mayoral com-
mittee member for human settlements,says that victims should report it to the po-lice.“It has been confirmed that some resi-
dents have fallen victim to these scams andhave indeed ‘bought’ land or housing units
which were promised to them throughthese illegal sales,” says Van Minnen in astatement.The City confirms that scammers, who
claim to be from the human settlements di-rectorate, have been operating with unau-thorised documents which contain theCity’s official logo.
Must not payIt is alleged that once the promised hous-
ingunits orpieces of landhavebeen“sold”,the culprits disappear with the money.In some cases, it has been reported that
the scammers even send an SMS “allocat-ing” an erf number to the duped resident– but they have paid for a non-existent erf.“It saddensme tohear about such cases,”
continues Van Minnen.“Residents must note that, should a per-
sonqualify in terms of thenational criteriafor a subsidy, theymust not pay anymoneyto anyone to be placed on the housing data-base or to receive a house.”Van Minnen urges applicants to contact
their local housing office to update theirdetails on the housing database so thatthey can be contacted easily when their
housing opportunity arises.“I also ask those who are not registered
to find outwhether they qualify for a subsi-dised housing opportunity.”
Where to applyPotential applicants can apply at a local
housing office, the City’sWale Street walk-in centre or by visiting the housing kioskon the 2nd floor (concourse level) of theCivic Centre in Hertzog Boulevard. Resi-dents can also contact the housing call cen-tre on 021 444 0333 or apply online on theCity of Cape Town’s website.

Planned growth in the traffic departmentis set to reduce offences and accidents.The City of Cape Town’s traffic service is
expecting to swell its ranks by over 120 newofficers in the next year.Over 50 traffic officer positions and four
supervisor positions have been approved,says JP Smith, mayoral committeememberfor safety and security. And there are evenmore in the pipeline.The City has made provision for the staff
appointments in the new budget.A total of 60 traffic officer posts still need
to be approved by the council based on aplanned business model and an additional20 traffic officers are expected to be recruit-ed to enhance the newly established trans-port enforcement unit.“The City of Cape Town’s traffic service
is under-staffed. Road safety has becomeone of the most important focus areas dueto the number of deaths and the huge finan-cial cost of traffic accidents,” he says.They are set to introduce a dedicated 24-
hour service, Smith explains.“The newmemberswill add to the visibil-
ity of the service and hopefully help to re-duce the number of offences and accidentson the roads. An additional benefit is the in-direct policing of other crimes,” he says.But the new traffic officers won’t be the
only addition to the service.A new system, which will use dashboard
cameras, is set to be rolled out by the endof next year, Smith says.“The cameraswould enhance the enforce-
ment of offences by recording the activitiesof the staff. This is something that is usedin other countries and has evidential valuein the courts to help with the justice pro-cess,” he says.

“Flower arrangement is about the wayyou feel. Your flowers must talk to
someone and they shouldn’t feel sad or lookunrealistic.”This is what Edith Rule, a follower of the
Ikenobo school of flower arranging, be-lieves. Rulewas speaking at the Ikebana andbonsai exhibition at the University of CapeTown Irma Stern Museum which was heldlast week.The flowers in the exhibitionwhere putup
by her students in freestyle form arrange-ments.Rule believes flowers are the way people
communicate with nature.“By freestyle we mean these flowers are
able to do what you like them to do. Youmake them look the way you want. Makethem communicate. They must talk to youabout the seasons and they are an expres-sion of what’s happening. Flower arrange-ment is about how you feel, it’s a connectionbetween you and what is happening in theworld,” she says.Originally a Japanese concept, Ikebana
means living flowers and is the Japaneseterm for flower arranging. It had its originin Buddhism in China and Korea. It broughtabout, through the centuries, a refined artwhich was originally practised by priestsand noblemen and in later centuries by Jap-anese in all walks of life. It became less for-malised over more centuries and is todaypractised by enthusiastic volunteers ofmany different nationalities.Rule adds that to do flower arrangement
properly one must be aware of your chosenmaterials, their space and their surround-ings.“Some flowers won’t do well in the house
and some work perfectly on a coffee table.
Just know and understand your environ-ment. This will allow your flower to talk toyou thewayyouwant it. Some flowersmightbe too big for a house and more suitable fora public space. Flower arrangement is amodern thought into a modern feeling. It’sa way of communication and to expressyourself,” she adds.To create beautiful ikebana the selection
of different kinds of plant material demandsan experienced eye and considerable techni-cal skill in order to create a kind of beautythat cannot be found in nature.Thys Klem, exhibitor of the bonsai, says
one of his trees, a wild olive, is 40 years old.

The Kenilworth Racecourse ConservationArea (KRCA) protects 52 hectares of critical-ly endangered Cape Flats sand fynbos. Tomake sure that the area is well taken careof a Miss Earth South Africa semi-finalistteamed up with the Custodians of Rare andEndangered Wildflowers (Crew) on a recentvisit to the area to help out.Situated in the centre of Kenilworth Race-
course, the KRCA is regarded as the best ex-ample of sand fynbos remaining in the CapePeninsula. It is also one of the largeststretches of natural vegetation left over inCape Town’s southern suburbs.It boasts over 300 plant species, 10 mam-
mal species, 17 reptile species and elevenfrog species. These include the critically en-dangeredmicro frog (alsoknownas theCapeFlats frog), the endangered Cape platannaandCape rain frog – all ofwhich are endemicto the South-Western Cape, making theKRCA a hotspot for amphibian life on theCape Flats.Miss Earth semi-finalist Andrea von
Gunten says no other single urban, naturalvegetation remnant on our planet comesclose in terms of sheer plant species num-bers, relative to physical area.“It’s educational potential is of great val-
ue, as it is located in an urban environment,making it easily accessible for schoolgroups,” she says.This area shows the biological diversity
that can be found within the boundaries ofthe city, she says.“We were even fortunate enough to find a
rare and endangered plant, Hessea cinna-momea, that recently came up after the eco-logical burn in February.
“This site should remain protected so thatfuture generations can have an example ofwhat this critically endangered vegetationtype once looked like.Urbannature reservesare of great importance as they encompassa vast array of biodiversity,” addsVonGunt-en.The visitors ended the day by donating
work gloves to the conservation staff andstationery for school group visits.VonGunten says shehas apassion for con-
servation and want to use Miss Earth SouthAfrica as a platform to create more aware-ness around the importance of urban naturereserves.
A rare plant, Hessea cinnamomea, hasflowered in the Kenilworth RacecourseConservation Area after the recent fire. Thearea hosts many special plants and animals,including the endangered Cape Flats frog.

This week, Place of Hope (POH) resi-dence celebrated 14 years of helping
victims of abuse.Before its establishment in 2001 under
the auspices of the Community Bible Fel-lowship, POH’s foundations were laidwhen a member of a local church wasworking with sex workers on the streetsof Claremont, Kenilworth and Wynbergin 1998.Located in Crawford, POH offers wom-
enand children the opportunity tonot on-ly be re-integrated into society, but alsogain the skills needed to live self-suffi-cient lives whilst providing a place of ref-uge.Victimsof abuseare screenedbyvar-ious organisations including the police,social workers and community workersbefore being referred to POH.These women and children are offered
an initial period of six months’ residenceduring which time they receive profes-sional counselling, job skills and lifeskills training.Jennifer Arendorf, one of POH’s direct-
ors, says that 18 women and 14 childrenare currently under their care, but be-cause of the lack of staff, numbers havehad to be kept to a minimum despite thehigh demand within the community.“Lack of funding has always been the
number one challenge,” she says. “Whilstgovernment gave some financial supportto cover running costs, the organisation
has always had to hustle for funding forsalaries and food bills. One of the biggestchallenges camewhen the owners put thebuilding up for sale in February 2008 –there were 35 women and 42 children inthe house at the time. The committee,who I think was tired of constantly hav-ing to source funding, decided theywouldclose theproject.Elevenof the 14 staff left,but three decided to stay on to ‘keep theship afloat’. And have they had a roughride!”Arendorf says maintenance is another
challenge as POH is in need of an up-grade.However, despite the challenges POH
face, there have been success stories.“For many of the women who have
come in through our doors, the greatestsuccess is that they, through counsellingand life skills programmes, have come torealise that they have worth, potentialand they stop believing the lies of theirperpetrators,” she states. Then, with askill tucked under their belts, they canbecomeeconomically andemotionally in-dependent, and be re-integrated into soci-ety to live in peace and with dignity.”She says that POHwill continue to seek
funding. They held amarket day over theweekend to raise funds for maintenanceand to switch their power back on. Theyalso facilitate a soup kitchen everyThursdaywith the Community Bible Fel-lowship.V Anyone willing to contribute by way of a donation or volunteer can call 021 697 2019.

LEGAL DEDUCTIONS FROM SOCIAL GRANTS
The SASSA Payment Card
Which Deduction Is Legal?
How can SASSA assist social grant beneficiaries with illegal deductions?
Safety tips for all social grant beneficiaries:
one
0800 60 10 11
Western Cape Helpline @ (021) 469 0235 or 0800 60 10 11.
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), would like to provide communities with the
following information regarding social grant deductions:
The SASSA branded payment card, was introduced to allow social grant beneficiaries the convenience of
accessing their social grant anywhere and at any time. The SASSA payment card is a debit card and
allows for cash to be withdrawn from ATM's, purchases to be made from suppliers and legal deductions to
be made. The introduction of the SASSA payment card into the banking system unfortunately also
provided an opportunity for social grant beneficiaries to be exploited through unauthorized deductions.
Before the social grant is paid into the bank account of a beneficiary only deduction is allowed to be
made for a funeral policy, which may not exceed 10% of the total value of the social grant. This premium is
deducted by SASSA before the social grant is paid to the beneficiary and then paid over to the relevant
insurance company.
Once the social grant is paid into the bank account that is linked to the SASSA debit card, legal deductions
instituted by financial entities will take effect for purchases that were made ie: airtime, electricity, micro-
loans, credit instalments, policy premiums etc. Any disputes should be resolved directly between the social
grant beneficiary and the entity that instituted the deduction.
Social grant beneficiaries are requested to report any illegal deductions to the nearest SASSA
office/service point where they will be assisted to complete a claim form so that the matters can be
investigated. Alternatively beneficiaries can contact the SASSA call centre @ where
SASSA staff will record the relevant details and refer the matter for investigation. Where beneficiaries have
not authorized deductions or for their SASSA cards/account details to be used by others, the deducted
amounts will be paid back to them. This is usually done within a period of 3 working days. Should any
social grant beneficiary not receive the required assistance from a SASSA office or staff member this must
be reported to the office manager or the
• Do not to respond to SMS messages offering airtime, electricity and other services. By responding
to these messages, beneficiaries are actually taking on a "subscription" service and the amounts
will be deducted off the bank account through the EFT debit system every month.
• Do not use your SASSA payment card as security for loans and to purchase any financial services
products.
• Do not authorize deductions to be made against your card except for the one funeral policy
deduction that should not exceed 10% of the social grant value.X1Q9NXFW-QK070715

I remember clock-ing out halfway through my shift and Inever looked back and here I am todaydoing the thing that I love so much andthe bonus is I’m getting paid for it.”Clocking out on that fateful day wasthe best gift that local music was given.
HighlightsJoining Abdullah Ibrahim’s jazz pro-gramme led to his ability flourishing, get-ting chosen to be part of the National YouthBand and touring to many festivals acrossthe world, but since then he has become astaple of the South African music scene.Best known for his performances in pro-ductions such as Intimate nights chapter II,Love, jazz & duets andMusic alla Kaap, he’salso worked alongside renowned local art-ists such as Lloyd Cele, Loyiso Bala, JimmyDludlu, JudithSephuma,PJPowers andLa-dysmith Black Mambazo.“It’s always been exciting toworkwith allthese musicians but one of the highlights ofmy career and travels was when I got theopportunity to perform with Jonathan But-ler in Kenya, Nigeria, Cape Town and Jo-hannesburg.“Also recordingwithKirkWhalumonhislatest Gospel according to jazz chapter 4with bassist Jonathan Roubain was a phe-nomenal experience.”With this showat theBaxterhe is invitingaudiences to discover his journey in music.“This show and the process of creating ithas been so empowering and fresh to me,”he reflects.“Manymusicians tend to be too comforta-ble behind their instrument, but this showallows me to showcase not just my musicalskills but also my storytelling abilities.“This show has also kind of forced me to
dig a bit deeper into my heritage to find outexactly where I come from and the impactit had on where I’m at now.”Inmore recent years,Donvenohas settledinto the chair of musical director for pro-ductions such asBlood brothers,Radio clas-sics, Kat and the kings, and 3 wise men.

The South African nationaldarts championship is under-way in Johannesburg until its
conclusion on Friday.The first national champion-
ships were held in Cape Town in1993, which served as the platformfor Darts South Africa (DSA) to beformed through the unification ofall the darting districts and associ-ations in South Africa.
TheWesternCape is representedby four affiliated districts whichform the federation: Cape Town,West Coast, Cape Winelands andEden.
Cape Town Darts is made up ofnine associations, including two-time defending inter-districtchampion Peninsula Darts Associ-ation (PDA).
The other associations are: Ath-lone, Mitchell’s Plain, NorthernSuburbs, Ocean View, South Pen-insula, Southern Suburbs, Sti-
kland and the Western ProvinceDarts Association.
The DSA tournament formatconsists of an inter-regional andinter-district four-a-side competi-tion in which players compete inboth doubles and singles play. Theinter-district competition has sev-en divisions.
Peninsula will be leading thecharge of the Cape Town teams inthe inter-district competition,where they will be chasing an un-precedented third title in a row.
They are unbeaten for the pasttwo years, having not lost a matchat thenational championship since2013.
TheWesternCapewomen’s teamtook national honours in the inter-regional competition last year,while the men’s team finished asthe runners-up in their division.
Peter Bowers, manager of thePDA men’s team, is confident thatthe team is ready to defend its na-tional title. Frank Avenant, LesleyBeukes, Jason Erasmus, Elroy
Dirks, Jason Hendricks, FranklynMiller, Sean Shaw andAshwin Ad-ams will be representing PDA atthis year’s tournament.
Avenant will also compete in theInternational World Darts tourna-ment inTurkey inOctober and rep-resent South Africa there.
Warren Hansen, Cape TownDarts’s transformation official andPDA’s vice-chairperson, echoesBowers’ optimism.
“The only challenger to thethrone is the Western ProvinceDarts Association.
“Western Province has four
players in the Western Cape DartsFederation team as well.”
Hansen also highlights top play-ers in the Cape Town district whocouldmakean impact in this year’sinter-district tournament: “Play-ers who are performing very welland are on top of their game in theregion are Wesley Daries andMar-thinus Grobelaar.
“These two gentlemen were thetwo top performers at the WesternCape Darts Federation trials. Bothplayers are from Cape Town Dartsandwill be representing theWPDAin the inter-district competition.
“The women who are perform-ing very well are Yolanda van Roo-yen from Cape Town Darts, whowill also be representing SouthernSuburbs Darts Association at thenational darts tournament, andMaxi Keet of the Cape Winelandsregion in Paarl,” he says.
Van Rooyen, along with youthplayer Tayla Carolissen, will bejoining Avenant in Turkey as theCape Town locals fly the flag forSouth Africa.
