The Brass Bell’s liquor licence allows live music until 23:00 and this is now being en- forced with immediate effect. Following a complaint from neighbours, live music has been restricted at the venue. The restaurant is also only permitted to host acoustic bands. As a result the final and semifinal of a kara- oke competition has had to be cancelled. The 12 contestants were vying for prizes valued at R30 000. Neighbours have complained about the noise of the music and when patrons exit the venue at all hours of the night. Oliver Bauer, general manager of the Brass Bell, says the restriction on live music was part of a liquor licence condition issued in May 1999 – when the venue was still open-air. The venue is now enclosed. Bauer says “people hoot or wheel-spin their cars” in the parking area or the street. He adds the sound of talking when a large crowd leaves can be intrusive to neighbours. But, he says, this aspect is very difficult to police. Bauer says they are consulting engineers about the possibility of sound-proofing the bi- kini deck, where the live music is played. Ini- tial quotes have placed this at R100 000 to R150 000, Bauer says. He says since October the venue “has built up a reputation” as a leading live music ven- ue, but this has had to be stopped following the restrictions. Bauer adds: “This will affect the business- es’ revenue; it has 80 permanent staff that need to be paid. If we can’t resolve the issue, we will have to look at changing our business model.” Kalk Bay/St James Residents’ and Rate- payers’ Association chairperson Tony Trim- mel describes the “fury” of residents com- plaining of the noise as “unbelievable”. Trimmel says the suburb is a “natural am- phitheatre” and the noise is “very intense” as it echoes around the mountain. He adds “anti-social behaviour” – includ- ing swearing, hooting and fighting – of pa- trons leaving the venue is “unbearable”. Trimmel says residents already have to put up with the noise associated with the ongoing road works. The issue, he adds, has been “playing itself out in the Kalk Bay area for well over 30 years”. The Brass Bell has previously been found in contravention of the liquor licence condi- tions. The establishment was forced, by a court, to adhere to the restrictions on live mu- sic. “We have to put our foot down,” says Trim- mel. “We cannot condone this behaviour.” Trimmel says this action against the Brass Bell should be a sound warning to other es- tablishments found to be “overstepping the mark” by failing to comply with the terms of their liquor licences. He promises resident complaints are being taken seriously and the association will “do anything in its power to ensure the bylaws are complied with”. Ward councillor David D’Alton says he has received complaints from the association. While D’Alton is keen for the Brass Bell management and residents to discuss the matter, Trimmel says via email the associa- tion would “only engage with the Brass Bell on this matter if they are committed to re- specting the City’s bylaws regarding noise level nuisances”.

Going for goldGoing for goldDear reader,
Seeing Team South Af-rica during the openingceremony of the LondonOlympic Games filled mewith immense pride andanticipation. Cameronvan der Burgh winningour first goldmedal and smashing theworldrecord of the world 100m breaststroke wasthe cherry on the cake.
Like most South Africans, and especiallyCapetonians, I naturally back a winner.
People’s behaviour and responses tosport reveals a lot about themselves. We re-main glued to ourTV screenswhen our sideis winning, but heaven forbid when the op-posite applies. We leave the stadium early,change the TV channel when our side is los-ing or take tea breaks to avoid witnessingour team’s agonising defeat. We yell, orthrow the remote on the floor. Someextrem-ists drown their sorrows with booze (not I)and some let rip with the most colourfulCape Flats vernacular (not I).
Van der Burgh’s our golden man rightnow and we’re high on his victory, just twodays into the Olympics. His win made up
for the bitter disappointment at our hockey,volleyball, rowing, soccer and other defeatsso far.
But it’s still early days for our Olympichopefuls.
Not so for Stormers, for whom the finalwhistle has blown. Sadly, their die-hardsupporters gave up on their team andstopped cheeringwith the same fervour dis-played at the start of the game when Storm-ers began trailing in the Super Rugby semi-final at Newlands on Saturday.
This waswhen the Stormers needed theirsupporters most.
We can learn a lot from fighting ’til thebitter end – the Manchester United-Ajaxgame is a case in point.
The Red Devils did not accept defeat, de-spite being 1-0 behind. They gave their alluntil the dying minute of extra time, whenthey scored the equalising goal.
On the topic of backing winners, duringmy recent vacation a female friend and Iwent to Club Mykonos for a girls’ getaway.
We spent thousands of rands to escape ourstressors, men and children and ended uptalking about our stressors, men and chil-dren.
At one point, we made a pact to cease dis-cussing our men, but that was shortlivedand we later returned to assessing why weneed men.
We concluded thatmen are useful for kill-ing spiders, changing light bulbs, driving,carrying the groceries from the boot to thehouse, looking after the kids, ensuring oursafety and braaing.
As we passed other holidaymakers’ unitsand smelt their tantalising braaivleis, be-ing skilfully executed by men, I confessedthat I’d never braaied and wouldn’t knowhow. We undertook to take all our childrenand at least one mother and one husbandwith on our next holiday. In that way, we’dhave childcare, driving and the braai alltaken care of, leaving us to spend qualitygirl time together.
We did enjoy some male company at the
resort; in the form of “Tom”, the residentblack-and-white tomcat whom we fed topquality tuna and sardines. In return, Tomrewarded us with loyalty and love, movinginto our unit and sleeping over on a canechair. A day later, Tom’s brother, an equal-ly handsome black-and-white kitty, also ar-rived for meals. And we secured the servic-es of a male “chauffeur”, one of the resort’sgolf cart drivers, by tipping him generouslyin advance.
By the time we left for home, we hadlearnt a lot about ourselves. I can be annoy-ing, losing myself completely in a book andwhipping out my laptop even while on holi-day, to respond to urgent emails and workon a project. My friend found her escape insoapies.
We contented ourselves with eating outoften and ended up disillusioned with mostof the food.
Despite all that, we had a great vacation.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is aweekly columnbyPeo-

Shocked by hand railShockedShocked byby handhand railrailTERESA FISCHER
A BUILDER is under investiga-tion after a Lakeside womanwas electrocuted.
The woman survived, but washurt when the impact flung her tothe floor. Lynne Longworth’s med-ical bills came to R22 500.
The builder, who does not wantto be named, initially told Long-worth he would foot the bill, buthas, since the incident in May,failed to do so says Longworth.
Following queries by People’sPost, the builder of WJC Projectshas confirmed in writing he wouldsettle this amount.
The case forms part of an investi-gation by the Department of La-bour which claims the builder wasnot registered to do electrical con-tracting work.
Longworth was electrocuted bya heated towel rail, which was in-stalled in an extension of an en-suite in December 2010.
She was showering in the ‘wetroom’, when she held onto the railfor balance. She describes theshock as “so intense it rooted herto the bathroom floor”.
Longworth says she screamedfor help, but adds her husband wasoutside and didn’t hear her cries.
Her nose was bleeding and shewas “severely traumatised”.
When she eventually managedto release her grip on the rail, shesays she was flung face first to thefloor, sustaining injuries to herhead, eye, nose, shoulder, elbowand foot. She adds she needed atooth implant as a result of the fall.
She says the rail was switchedoff at the time of the incident.
The next day Longworth calledout an electrical contractor whofound the towel rail “had not beenconnected to the earth leakage sys-tem”.
She says the builder who hadcompleted the renovations did notissue an Electrical ComplianceCertificate. Longworth warns oth-ers to “insist on this when appoint-
ing any builder or electrical con-tractor to do work”.
She says there had been two pre-vious incidents of electricalshocks by the rail.
“The same builder attended toboth incidents, installing an earth-ing strap and filling the connectionwith silicon sealer.”
She reported the builder to theWestern Cape Approved ElectricalInspection Authority (WCAEIA),which is appointed by the Depart-ment of Labour.
Longworth says when she sentthe builder a photograph and toldhim of her injuries he respondedhe had “not done this on purposeand said he would cover my medi-cal costs”.
“However, when I sent him cop-ies of some of the accounts I hadpaid and asked him for a reim-bursement he ignored my email,”Longworth says.
The builder confirms Long-worth had tried to send the email“with some form of attachment,but due to its size I presume itcould not be downloaded andopened on my side”.
“I did receive a second emailwith a report from her dentist. Ifind this statement quite strangeas I was in contact with her during
the rectification process and shecould have told me she was for-warding the email to me. As I stat-ed to her on day one, we wereshocked to hear about her incidentand we would cover her cost. Thatwas the least we could do.”
After the People’s Post enquirythe builder says he asked to meetLongworth to “make amends”.
He has ensured the problem hasbeen rectified. He says he is not,nor does he profess, to be an elec-trician, adding he used subcon-tractors to do the work.
He admits he should have ob-tained a compliance certificatefrom the subcontractors.
Longworth confirms he hasagreed to pay for her medical ex-penses within a month.
WCAEIA general manager PeterSmuts says the case is subject to anongoing investigation by the la-bour department’s chief inspector.
Smuts says the inspection hasuncovered “numerous irregulari-ties” with the electrical alterationsdone by the builder’s workers.
Smuts says: “What the buildingcontractor has done is a contraven-tion in terms of the OccupationalHealth and Safety, Electrical In-stallation Regulations.”
A decision over whether to pros-ecute is still pending.
Smuts says people doing electri-cal installation work have to regis-ter with the chief inspector.
He says the builder was not reg-istered to do electrical contractingwork.
“No certificate of compliancewas issued, which is also a contra-vention in terms of these regula-tions.”
Smuts says: “There was no evi-dence that an electrical contractorhad been appointed, as is requiredin terms of the regulations stipu-lated in the Occupational Healthand Safety Act of 1993.”
Anyone wanting to verify if theirelectrical installations are withinthe letter of the law, can visitwww.wcaeia.co.za or contact theWCAEIA on (021) 987 3010.

Face-lift for jettyTERESA FISCHER
THE spruced-up Simon’s Town jetty hascaught the eye of locals and film starsalike.
Jetty master Dennis Lihou has been em-ployed by the Simon’s Town Amenities De-velopment Company (Stadco) which manag-es the jetty.The improvements include new stan-
chions with chains tomark the end of the jet-ty, life buoys and safety railings.“No-one has fallen in,” he says, adding jok-
ingly, “This is a relief because the water iscold.”The benches are so popular, he says, that
people came and sat on themwhile theywerestill being bolted down.It is the only remaining public jetty in
False Bay, says Lihou, adding the Strand jet-ty has been condemned after falling into dis-repair.“It’s somewhere to come and sit, to think
and be. People sit on the bench and listen tothe seagulls squawk.”He affectionately describes the jetty as “an
old lady” and not without reason. Built in1921, it is the oldest pre-cast concrete jetty inthe country.In 2007, Lihou, the father of world champi-
on paddler Nikki Mocke, started the Pad-dling Centre in Fish Hoek. He retired whenhe was past his “sell-by date”.After three months at home he “got the
look of death from my wife”.He decided to put to use his shipping expe-
rience of 30 years when he applied for the jet-ty master position.
He explains public relations is as much apart of his job description as managing theboats and ensuring the safety of visitors.Lihou chats to everyone and points out tour-ist attractions.His future plans for the jetty include in-
stalling a flagpole. This involves finding anhistorically correct finial for the flagpole.“One can’t call it a knob,” he quips.The jetty is favoured for model shoots.
And, he adds, because it is quiet and out ofthe way, people are oblivious to film starswho descend in a flurry of bodyguards.One such star is Halle Berry, who arrived
for the filming of the movie Dark Tide.Lihou was himself drawn into the world of
celebrity when a crew arrived to film an epi-sode of Forteinsoekers – the Afrikaans ver-sion of The Amazing Race.Part of the challenge to contestants was to
paddle a boat out to the submarine in thedockyard.According to Lihou, the contestants had
never paddled a boat until then.Forteinsoekers presenter Scot Scott asked
Lihou to give the teamsa crash course in pad-dling.This episode, in which Lihou dons a bright
orange glow-in-the-dark rain suit, will bescreened on Thursday 27 September onKykNet (DSTV channel 111) at 20:00.The jetty was also the venue for an adver-
tising shoot for a new model of BMW.Lihou says the shoot took place very early
one morning.“Everyone in the vicinity had their cell-
phones and cameras confiscated by six no-nonsense German security guards to ensureno images were leaked,” he says.

Rhino breeder supports lifting of banTERESA FISCHER
LEGALISING rhino trade is the only waythese beleagured creatures can be savedfrom extinction.
This is the opinion of Solole Game Reserveowner John Hume.
Describing himself as “probably theworld’s largest rhino farmer”, Hume lastyear bred 116 rhinos. He has a combined herdof over 700 rhino throughout the country. Hede-horns his rhinos to safeguard themagainst poachers.
Conservationists in Durban have reported-ly suggested a plan to sell rhino horns direct-ly to Chinese pharmaceutical firms. Priceswould reportedly be controlled by a centralbody. All horns would be sold with certifiedproof of origin. This proposal was put for-
ward by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife chief execu-tive Dr Bandile Mkhize, former Ezemvelochief Dr George Hughes, former Ezemveloconservation planning chief Roger Porter,economistMichaelEustace andDr IanPlayer– said to have played a central role in rescu-ing white rhinos from the verge of extinction.
Hume notes this proposal has not yet beenformalised. This involves a “complicatedprocess” in which SA would approach theConvention on International Trade in Endan-gered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Cites)to propose downlisting the species to a “low-er” status so that trade may be considered.
He adds these proposals can only take placeat the Cites Conventions of the Parties (CoP),which are held every two or three years. Thenext one takes place in Thailand in March.
“Proposals for this CoP must be handed toCites byOctober. This iswhy the trade debate
is so topical and emotions are running veryhigh over it.”
Hume says the proposal has to come fromthe national environment affairs depart-ment, but that a decision has yet to be made.While “many people understand the merits ofopening a sustainable trade in horn”, he says,only Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife has “stepped for-ward in open support of this plan”.
An active pro-trade advocate, Hume’s net-work RhinoDotCom supports conservation-ists who understand and promote similarviews. “Any plan that will reduce poachingand killing of rhinos is a good one.”
He explains rhino horns re-grow, so onerhino would yield more than one horn. Thiswill alsoundercut the criminal syndicates, hesays, and give consumers the option to buya “legal, sustainable and probably cheaperproduct”.
“Selling horn from national and privatestockpiles is a good start that will enable usto do market research of the trade. However,the stockpiles are finite and we need to havea long-term structure in place for futuretrends,” says Hume, who says selling horn toChina alone will not solve the poaching issue.
“Yemen and Vietnam are also mass con-sumers of horn so any marketing proposalwould have to be thought out very carefully.
“It is absolutely imperative that the valueof live rhinos surpasses that of poached anddead rhinos.”

Smoke signalsTHE Western Cape is burning.
Election promises have been found want-ing in Mitchell’s Plain, Philippi, Manenberg,Nyanga, Gugulethu, Sir Lowry’s Pass Village,Grabouw and Botrivier.
The hourglass of patience tested, the peopleof this province have stopped asking andwaiting for government to honour thesepromises. It is, after all, 18 years into SouthAfrica’s democracy.
The time is now for the government to stepup and deliver. Voters have taken to thestreets in droves throughout the province toprotest poor or non-existent service deliveryand education.
In the aftermath, the streets are litteredwith bricks and the debris of overturnedtrash cans, damaged street lamp poles, thecharred remains of tyres and the notoriouspeak-hour traffic has been diverted from ma-jor roads. The N2 and Sir Lowry’s Pass havebeen closed to traffic during the protests.
Instead of listening – and acting upon thepleas of the people – the government has re-sponded with brute force.
Their answer? Some protesters were arrest-ed and hurt during skirmishes with the po-lice.
Outraged protesters were quietened withtear gas, rubber bullets and a water cannon.
Setting alight public facilities such asschools must be frowned upon.
Other ratepayers may have little empathyfor such actions, but they may not be the onesadversely affected by the failures of govern-ment to provide basic services.
It makes little sense to damage infrastruc-ture and government property – meant foruse by the people. Especially in view thereofthat, nearly two decades later, attempts by thedemocratically-elected government remainsterile in addressing basic needs.
Harking to the media visuals of the heightof anti-apartheid protests, the city aflame re-sembles the burning hopes of many.
Or, perhaps, their hopes have regressed in-to ashes.
Farewell to beloved Navy manBELOVED husband of 51 goldenyears, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend.
We are blessed to have had you,Arthur Ronald Tjasink, in our lives.You are loved beyond measure and,even though you have taken leave ofthis world, will remain in ourhearts. We honour you by keepingyou alive within us.
We know you are looking downupon us with the love you so willing-ly and unconditionally bestowed up-on us. You made this world a betterplace by simply being in it.
What defined Ron was his dedica-tion and service to God and fellowman clearly evident to all he came into contactwith. These things and his love for his familyand his photography were what moulded anddefined him. These aspects of his life he heldclosest to his heart – he lived for these things,doing so with honour and integrity. He servedas council member, senior steward, chairmanof the Men’s League and handyman supreme atthe Fish Hoek Methodist Church since 1960.
(He has had) 40 years of service in the SA Navywith a further 10 years in the Naval Reserve,having joined at the age of 17 in 1953, a full navalcareer with few naval officers to match.
A special “thank you” to all Ron’s navalfriends who posted 150 messages of honour andcondolence within 24 hours of his “Crossing theBar” on the SA Navy website. His request fortheLastPost andReveille to be played in his hon-our with a trumpet at his military funeral serv-ice was so proudly done by the talent in Able
Seaman Lloyd of the SA NavyBand, with his son, Brian, in hisown naval uniform, ceremoniallyplacing his dad’s naval sword, capand medals with the national flagdraping in his honour. Rear Ad-miral (retired) and Chairman ofthe Naval Officers’ Association,Arne Söderlund, paid tribute toRon’s naval career – a fitting hon-our much appreciated by his fam-ily and all present.
Ron joined the Fish Hoek Pho-tographic Society after its incep-tion. He served as chairman,print convenor and in many othercapacities for more than 40 years.
His name is engraved on almost every trophyand cup of the society.
Ron’s son, Brian, ensured his vision for theSociety was maintained. The Society’s member-ship has quadrupled in recent years and for thefirst time in the history of the competition haswon the Western Cape Inter Club in 2010 and2011.

Task team in station clean-upA RASH of complaints from various ranksabout vagrants and suspected criminal activ-ity has led to a crime sweep at stations.
Metrorail regional manager MthuthuzeliSwartz says complaints came from commut-ers, residents and business owners.
Swartz says the anti-crime intervention onthe Cape Town to Simon’s Town corridortook weeks of planning.
It involved a multi-disciplinary task teamwhich targeted in particular the Woodstock,Newlands, Retreat and Fish Hoek stations.
The City of Cape Town’s Displaced People’sUnit (DPU), local Community Policing Fo-rums and City Improvement Districts collab-orated with Metrorail Protection Services of-ficials and contracted security firms to re-
move vagrants and clear litter in these areas.Complimenting the task team, Swartz says:
“The success of the intervention proves thevalue of constructive cooperation.”
He says the team found dagga, weapons,stolen goods and falsified documents.
The DPU sourced alternative shelter forpeople living under Stanhope Bridge and incars at Fish Hoek station.
Swartz says vagrants were “particularlyvulnerable to wily criminals who lure theminto crime with all manner of promises”.
The minibus taxi rank at Fish Hoek stationcontributed to excessive littering and indi-gents living in cars made residents feel un-safe. Report vagrancy to the DPU at(021) 596 1999 or 0800 225 669 (all hours).
Should SA athletes be rewarded equally?SOUTH African Olympic athletes maybe going for gold, but the shine has beentaken off the government incentive todisabled athletes to bring home themedals.
The SA Sports Confederation and Olym-pic Committee (Sascoc) announced the in-centives for athletes competing at the Ol-ympic Games.
The lucrative financial incentive for ath-letes will see able-bodied athletes receive
more than their disabled counterparts.Olympic athletes winning gold medals
will receive R400 000, silver medallists willget R200 000 and bronze medallists will bagR80 000.
Paralympic athletes winning gold med-als will receive R100 000, while silver med-allists will get R75 000 and bronze medal-lists will get R40 000.People’s Post interns Luzuko Zini and
Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn asked readerswhat they thought of this discrepancy.
FIGHTING SPIRIT:Noleen Williamsfeels all athletestrain hard and putin extra effort tocompete at the Ol-ympics. She feelsthere shouldn’t bea difference be-tween payment.“It takes willpow-er and energy fromall to succeed.”Photos: Tarren-Lee Habel-gaarn and Luzuko Zini
EQUALITY: LizlBode is dismayedby the incentivediscrepanciesand feels all peo-ple need to betreated thesame. Whetherdisabled or abled,she says, the ath-letes all repre-sent the samecountry. “Peopleare people and alldeserve to betreated equally.”
PERFORMANCE: Dean Henkel (24) thinksall national athletes should be rewardedthe same and it be based on their perform-ance. “All athletes, whether they’re abledor disabled players, perform the sametasks. One year they may do good and thenext year that may change.”
IT IS JUSTIFIED: Yusra Williams believes itis fair if the athletes compete in separategames. “If they they were competing in thesame Olympics it wouldn’t be fair, but thedisabled compete in their own Olympics andthe Paralympics is a bigger group than theOlympic group and the Olympics is biggerthan the Paralympics.”
PARALYMPI-ANS DESERVEMORE: MichaelForgals says itis a shame thatParalympianswill be gettingless. “ I think itis horrible be-cause the Para-lympians areprobably theones who workharder andachieve moreand yet they arerewarded less.”
EQUALITY: ClintWilliams believesthe Paralympiansare treated as in-ferior. “It is unfairbecause both theOlympic and Par-alympic athletesrepresent onecountry. If the in-centive is less forthe Paralympiansthan it will makethem feel inferioragainst the able-bodied athletes.”
BEST OF THE BEST: Carlos Muya saysthose who bringmoremedals should be theones who receive more. “I think the athletewho brings more than five medals shouldbe the one who gets more than the otherseven if they are abled or disabled.”
PAY THEM MORE: Frank Gordon says thosewho put in the effort must be rewarded. “TheParalympians show more effort and they arethe ones who should be rewarded more. TheParalympians will probably achieve morethan the (able-bodied) Olympians.”

The event, hosted during the BOS Earthwave BeachFestival, will take place at Surfers Corner on Saturday29 and Sunday 30 September.
The fifth annual edition of this popular festival willagain harness the interest surrounding the GuinnessWorld Records to promote sustainable lifestyle choicesby featuring competitive and fun events in the oceanand on the beach. A host of exhibitions, demonstrationsand talks on environmental issues will take place overthe two days.
Paul Botha, from organisers Kahuna Promotions,says the festival has grown into one of the biggest surf-ing-related events since the first record attempt in 2007.
“Since 2006, when 73 surfers were recorded on thesame wave, the festival has become one of the surfingworld’s biggest mass participation events,” says Botha.
“This year we’re expecting even more people to par-ticipate in and watch events such as longboard andgrom surfing, SUP and surfski races, touch rugby andvolleyball tournaments, along with plenty of activitiesfor children.”

AFTERWEEKSofhovering just above therelegation zone, False Bay RFC hasdropped to second last on the WesternProvince club rugby Super League A ta-ble.
The Constantia-based side now faces thegrim prospect of relegation.
Bay suffered their sixth consecutive defeatagainst a classy UCT side at Philip Herbstein,on Saturday. Tygerberg, one of their majorrivals in the relegation fight, pulled off an un-expected victory over table-toppers Durban-ville-Bellville.
Although relegation from the top tier ofclub rugby is not yet set in stone, Bay will nowhave to pull off some against-the-odds victo-ries and hope their rivals stumble in the re-
maining games.In the aftermath of Saturday’s game, before
the result of Tygerberg’s match was knownto him, False Bay head coach Chris Hewetsonsaid none of the bottom four teams on the ta-ble could be assured of safety.
“In the bottom four, nobody’s safe and, withthis league being the toughest league in thecountry, you need every single point,” saidHewetson.
“So nobody is safe at this point in time, itdoesn’t matter who it is – whether it’s Belhar,Tygerberg, Villager or us.”
Hewetson’s team were left empty handedafter Saturday’s match, failing to claim anybonus points from the 36-12 loss to Ikeys.
Although the visitors were missing severalplayers due to their selection to the WP un-der-21 team, they were still able to put togeth-er a side brimming with talent and boasting
experience in several key positions.Damian de Allende, Dillyn Leyds, Rick
Schroeder, Rayn Smid, Francois van Wykand James Kilroe were all missing from theteam sheet.
But the inclusion of WP utility back Liam“Tiger” Bax at outside centre, USA interna-tional JJ Gagiano at eighthman and formerSpringbok, Stormers, and Bulls forwardHilton Lobberts at lock, more than made upfor it.
In the end the quality and experienceproved too much for the hosts and UCT wonthanks to their clinical use of opportunities.Hewetson praised the Ikeys for their perform-ance.
“I think it’s a much better UCT team. If theyhad this team in the Varsity Cup they wouldhave done much better,” said Hewetson.
“They outplayed us and played the expan-
sive game that the students do. When you lim-it your mistakes like we did in the first half,it is close.
“But the moment you make a mistake,you’re going to battle to get the ball backagainst a team like this, and we did.”
Villager was also consigned to another de-feat this weekend, losing 45-7 against the Mat-ies in Stellenbosch.
They have avoided defeat in all but two oftheir 13 games this season – one win, onedraw – and, although they could still mathe-matically avoid relegation, it would takenothing short of a miracle to ensure their sur-vival.
Bay will face Belhar, Villager, Victoriansand Maties in their remaining games, whileVillager will face Maties Victorians, FalseBay, SK Walmers, Tygerberg and UCT.
