MUIZENBERG
Visitors stream backNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Ten years ago the Muizenberg beach-front was a “no-go” area, but today itis a booming hub.
With the last development along thestretch – housing a surf school, coffee shopand two restaurants – open from December,the strategic redevelopment of the area isone of the reasons visitors flock to the area.Steven Frankel, developer and chairper-
sonof theMuizenberg ImprovementDistrict(MID), believes a surge in business confi-dence has made the area more desirable forproperty owners and developers.
“Brands want to be here now. People wantto be here and so businesses want to be here.It’s key to keep up thismomentum,” he says.Growing up in the area, Frankel remem-
bers the time when Muizenberg was consid-ered Cape Town’s top holiday destination.“It was the Camps Bay of Cape Town.
There was a reason why people came herethen and we realised there must be some-thing we can do to bring the spark back.”A decade ago, most of the buildings along
the beachfront were rundown and manywere occupied illegally. Because of the highlevel of crime the beach had long lost its ap-peal, explainsMID deputy chairperson, Les-ley Schroeder.
Tackling the overcrowding and relatedcrime was key to revitalising the area andbringing back development, Schroeder says.“The upgrading and redevelopment of the
strip has had a major influence, bringing ina well-balanced mix of offerings. This, cou-pledwith the recent upgrade of Surfer’s Cor-ner, has significantly improved the overallappeal of Muizenberg beach. Today our big-gest challenge is finding parking solutionsfor the 12 000 cars that flow in and out onbusy weekends and the thorny issue of in-formal car guarding,” she says.Frankel believes the future of the beach-
front lies in partnering with the council toprovide top-notch amenities to cater for the
increasingnumberof visitors, aswell as pro-viding a controlled parking area so “peoplecan feel safe and secure”.Additional safety is provided byMID, says
public safety director Hugo Coetzee. This in-cludes car patrols along the beachfront andfoot patrols on the beach during the holidayseason.“The future is looking very positive.Muiz-
enberg beach is first and foremost aboutsurfing. Everything else complements that.That said, theMIDdoesnot intend to sit backand take a breather – the key is to keepwork-ing tomaintain a quality and safe visitor ex-perience.WewantMuizenberg to be aworld-class destination.”

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL
Athlone drum group to wow again“Don’t do drugs, do drums” is
the motto the members ofLimited Edition Drum Corps liveby. They create awareness aboutgangsterism, poverty and violencein Manenberg through their im-pressive choreography and sticktricks on snare drums.The group helps boys living in
Manenberg stay off the streets.“We feel it is important that our
youth is informed. The fact thatmany young people in our commu-nities are using drugs as part oftheir social and recreational lifes-tyle does notmake this a safe or ac-ceptable practice. It is only by col-lectively working to take the ‘cool’factor out of drug use, that we canhelp safeguard the lives and healthof the young people,” says directorYaggie Sampson.The Corps had its fair share of
challenges, from borrowing drumsto enter SA’s Got Talent to the con-stant disturbances of gangsterism,crime and overcrowding. Howev-er, they never let this stop themfrom reaching their dreams.The talented group wowed audi-
ences with their energetic per-formance at the Cape Town Carni-val last year. They have since beeninvited to perform nationwide.They will perform at this year’sCape Town Carnival again, whichwill take place along the GreenPoint Fan Walk on 12 March.“Cape Town Carnival taught us
many skills in the field of perform-ingarts – teamwork,unity andhowto represent ourselves in the enter-tainment world,” says Sampson.“It was an honour to meet othergroups and artists and collaborateon ideas, but the best part was onthe day of the event, when the en-tire community came together asone big family”.“Our dream would definitely be
to further expand the group andperform at the Cape Town Castleand the EdinburghMilitary Tattooin Scotland.”The group also aims to collabo-
rate with sponsors to get their ownequipment and transport.V For more information on the Cape TownCarnival visit the TheCapeTownCarnivalpage on Facebook. Limited Edition Drum Corps from Manenberg will be performing in the Cape Town Carnival again this year.
Gatesville group in Carnival againThe Vadhini Indian Arts Academy inGatesville, foundedbyShrimari SavitriNa-idoo, has been entertaining locals and tour-ists for 36 years.The internationally recognised academy
was established in Cape Town and special-ises in traditional Indian dancingwith a lo-cal twist. The dancers are committed to
bringing diversity to the Cape arts scene byexposing locals to different religions and cul-tures.“We aim to inspire and instil a sense of
beauty and increase the appreciation of Indi-an arts,” says senior dance instructor MayaKooverjee. “We are proud to share Indianarts with the community.”
The academy specialises in Bharata Nat-yum, a south Indianart form,which is taughton a workshop basis. The academy is also in-volved with the Footprints project, which fo-cuses on the social integration of refugeechildren using dance as amedium to supportpupils with barriers to learning.
Dance as barrier breaker“We are passionate about continuing to
better the community and hopefully in thenear future introduce our own outreach pro-gramme,” says Kooverjee. “We recently per-formed in the classical Indian play NrityaAlankaaram that showcased themost inspir-ing Indian dance forms and epitomises whatthe academy has to offer.”The academy’s performers have dazzled
Cape Town Carnival spectators since 2010and will continue to show off their talents atthe seventh annual Carnival along theGreenPoint Fan Walk on 12 March from 16:00.“Cape Town Carnival has allowed us to
showcase what our academy has to offer ona much larger scale,” says Kooverjee. “CapeTown Carnival has helped us in more waysthan one. It has helped raise awareness forthe academy, introducing the public to Indi-an arts and it has helped the students of Vad-hini academy to be a part of an iconic eventand perform in front of thousands of people.”V For more information on the Cape Town Carnival visitthe TheCapeTownCarnival page on Facebook.
Vadhini Indian Arts Academy from Gatesville will be performing in the Cape Town Carnivalagain this year.

A section of the M3 between Newlands andTrovato Link inWynberg is to be resurfacedfrom late January or early February.The roadworks will happen during night
time and take about four and a half months.The project, at a cost of R17m, should be
completed by mid-May.Ian Bowker, the head of pavement materi-
als and rehabilitation at Transport for CapeTown, says all construction work has beenscheduled to take place at night so that mo-torists are inconvenienced as little as possi-ble.“Work on the outbound lane will take
place between 19:30 and 05:30 and work onthe inbound lane will be done between 19:00and 05:00. Residents’ concerns regardingnoise levels have been taken into accountand limited use of jackhammers will be al-lowed until 23:00.“Unfortunately, reverse beepers are a le-
gal safety requirement butwehave specifiedthat they be dampened to try to minimisetheir impact. We have also specified regularpre-workmeetingswith thework crew to re-mind them about reducing on-site noise lev-els,” says Bowker.The project will repair and resurface all
parts of theM3 in the area thatwerenot com-pleted during the resurfacing done in 2014.The slow lanes in both directions will be
treated with three new asphalt layers whilethe fast lanes will receive two new layers.In both lanes the existing old asphalt will beremoved and replaced. The final layer willconsist of an ultra-thin friction course andwill ensure a durable road surface.

It was a day of jubilation as the province’sschools and matriculants who excelled inthe matric exams were celebrated recently.They were praised at an award ceremony
at the provincial premier’s residence.One of the attendees, Rebecca Haines
from Rustenburg Girls’ High School inRosebank, who got seven distinctions, saidshe loved swimming but to make sure sheachieved better academic results, she hadto cut her swimming time.“I had to put so much work into my stud-
ies and cut onwhat I really love. I also didn’tgo out as much and I’m glad that it has paidoff. It really feels good to be recognised andto know that your hard work was not invain,” she said.Another attendee, Samantha Elizabeth
Hearn fromHerschel Girls’ School in Clare-mont, who has eight distinctions, said shewas excited when she received her results.“I wasn’t expecting it. I worked really
hard, but I didn’t know I would do so well.I’m looking forward to my first year at theUniversity of Cape Town where I will bestudying Medicine. I’m nervous but evenmore excited and looking forward to a newchallenge,” she said.Attending the award ceremony was min-
ister of basic education Angie Motshekga,who congratulated the province for achiev-ing the top pass rate in the country.“I want to congratulate the province for
the leadership and the good work. As a de-partment we really appreciate the workthat the province is doing.When a provincedoes well and works hard, it pulls up every-thing with it,” said Motshekga.Debbie Schäfer, provincialminister of ed-
ucation, said at the ceremony they werepleased with the results.“Given the many challenges our educa-
tion system faces, improving the quality ofeducation is only possible through sus-tained interventions in our schools and thehardworkof thematrics, their teachers anddistrict officials,” she said.

Housing tenants who are in arrears willface legal action this year.
Residents who rent houses from the Cityof Cape Town and who owe rent and ignoreall the reminders to pay are at risk – particu-larly if they are able to pay their rent.“Please use this opportunity to make sure
that you keep your abode,” says Chris Bar-nard, project manager at TraceOnline.The company has been contracted by the
City to provide tenants of City housing withinformation, help themwith indigent grantsand undertake collections.Barnard says there are already a number
of court cases for eviction orders for tenantswho have been in debt for a long time andwho have ignored reminders and opportuni-ties to make arrangements for payment.“It is unacceptable that there are so many
tenants who are able to pay, but simplyrefuse to do so,” says Barnard.
About 260 000 people in Cape Town are onthe housing waiting list, who are preparedto pay, says Barnard.“It is unfair towards the thousands of peo-
ple who want to pay and who are preventedfrom getting a home by those who refuse topay.“Another result of people not paying their
rent is that there is not sufficient income forall the maintenance that needs to be done.This is once again unfair towards those peo-ple who do pay,” says Barnard.
ProcessThe City has an indigent grant to subsi-
dise people who have no income or a verysmall income. Residents can apply for this.However, if they fail once to pay the de-
creased rental, the grant is immediatelywithdrawn.The process that is followed before some-
one is evicted is very fair, says Barnard.People are first of all reminded that they
are in arrears and that they have to pay.They are further informed about the indi-gent grant option.Reminders are delivered to them person-
ally.If they still do not respond, they will re-
ceive a letter from an attorney. From thenon the legal process will take its course. Thetenant is then also responsible for legal ex-penses.“That is why we seriously request people
to take immediate steps to make sure thatthey keep the roof over the heads of theirfamily.No-one wants to start a new year with a
sword hanging over your head. It does nothelp to simply ignore the problem.”V Tenants who owe rent are requested to call TraceOn-line on 0861 99 77 77.
Pay your rent or face the law

Highspeed car chase ends in shotsCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
On Friday shortly after 07:30 acops-and-robbers scene played outon Weltevrede Road when the K9policeunit gave chaseafter a stolenwhite Volkswagen Polo car.Two suspectswere arrested after
a high-speed chase which hadstarted in Claremont.Philippi police spokesperson
Lieutenant Lance Goliath saysmembers of the K9 unit went aftera white Polo which had been re-ported as carjacked in Claremont.“Police spotted the car in Clare-
mont and in the attempt to stop thecar the driver of the car sped off,resulting in a high-speed chasethrough the streets of Claremont,then through Grassy Park into thePhilippi rural area,” Goliath ex-plains.
GunfireReinforcements from theK9 unit
joined the high-speed chase in anattempt to stop the car speedingdown Weltevrede Road, he says.“Speeding down Weltevrede
Road the driver pointed a firearmat the members of the K9 unit, whoresponded with gunfire, which ledthe driver to stop. No-one was in-jured and no-one sustained anygunshot wounds,” Goliath says.However, the Volkswagen car
the suspects drove was riddledwith bullets – mainly on the leftside of the car, he adds.A 29-year-old man and a 19-year-
old woman, both from Heideveld,were arrested.Police are investigating a case of
carjacking, pointing of a firearmand the possession of stolen prop-
erty after the suspects were arrest-ed.Goliath saysmore criminal char-
ges are expected to be added.The suspects were due to appear
in theWynbergMagistrates’ Courtyesterday on charges relating tocarjacking, pointing a firearm andthe possession of stolen property.
Suspect recognisedA resident in the Philippi rural
area who did not want to be namedsays she is satisfied with the ar-rests of the suspects.“My neighbour, who is also a
farmer, had a robbery a few weeksago andwhen this arrest wasmadehe recalled that one of the suspectswho was arrested looked like theperson who had robbed him at hishome.“He said the car they were
nabbed in was the same car thatwas used in the robbery at hishome as well, because he remem-bered distinct marks on the car,”she says.The woman adds that the sus-
pects were caught with stolen ca-bles as well. However, this couldnot be confirmed.Police station commander Colo-
nel Dennis Abels says police willcontinue to clamp down on crimeand the perpetrators thereof.He adds police will maintain
their zero-tolerance approach inthe combatting and investigationof crime. He commended CaptainHein van Niekerk of the K9 unitand his team for a job well done.V Anyone with information on crime cancall the police on 021 690 1500 or CrimeStop on 0860 010 111. All information willbe treated as highly confidential.
A carjacking suspect lies on the ground after a highspeed chase thatended on Weltevrede Road on Friday morning. The white Polo in thebackground is believed to have been stolen.
Colin Burke, president of theRotary Club of Newlands, do-nated an emergency vehicle tothe Emergency Assistance Vol-unteer Support (EVS) on theSouth Peninsula this week.His dream became a reality
after two and a half years of ne-gotiations, fundraising and en-gagement with sponsors andpartners.The shortage of emergency re-
sponse vehicles is a seriousproblem in the Western Cape,the organisation says in a state-ment, especially with the nu-merous fires that need to be con-tended with at this time of year.With the recent fundraising
project of the Club, it was ableto donate a multipurpose vehi-cle to the EVS.“We are incredibly grateful to
all the support that we have re-ceived from all our sponsorsand supporters; without theirselfless generosity, this projectwould not have become a reali-ty.“With the generous support
from Isuzu Trucks SA, we wereable to donate a fully-kitted,multipurpose vehicle, whichwill provide services to resi-dents in the Deep South, fromClaremont to Cape Point, in-cluding Masiphumelele, OceanView and Redhill,” says Burke.“The support has been over-
whelming. We even received agenerous donation from the Ro-tary Club of Albert Park inMelbourne, Australia, who tookit upon themselves to organisea raffle to help raise funds forthis project.”

The additional interventions to helphomeless people over the festive season
will run until the end of January.The City of Cape Town’s street people re-
integration unit will work closelywith cen-tral improvement districts and other orga-nisations to reduce the number of peoplemoving to the streets, as well as antisocialbehaviour like aggressive begging.The project will focus on the city centre,
Green Point, Muizenberg, Bellville andParow, with the aim of reducing the num-ber of people living on the street throughtargeted interventions like screening peo-ple, distributing information about Cityprogrammes and resources, referrals to so-cial and health services and reintegrationwith their families.It follows a pilot project in the city centre
in December 2014, which also signalled thelaunch of the City’s reintegration unit. Theinitial deployment focused on a number ofareas like Greenmarket Square, St Ge-orge’s Mall, Long Street and the Grand Pa-rade. The team identified a number of chal-lenges, including many street people andbeggars caught in the grip of substanceabuse, street people selling donated food tolocal vendors for cash, an unwillingness toaccept help andmembers of the public whoare unaware of the City’s “give responsi-bly” campaign, says SuzetteLittle,mayoralcommittee member for social developmentand early childhood development.“We have daily interventions aimed at
assisting street people, but the festive sea-son does see an increase in people migrat-ing to the streets – whether for potentialeconomic gain or because of family andoth-er social reasons. As with any other city,we’re caught in the unenviable position ofmanaging the rights of street people andthose of the rest of the population. Streetpeople cannot, and should not, be margina-lised, but nor can we ignore the daily com-plaints from across the city about the im-pact street people have on the lives of oth-ers,” she says.The reintegration unit facilitated a re-
turn home for 85 people in its first threemonths of operation.

Now Cape Town children can enjoy glidingaround an outdoor ice rink on hot summerdays.This as an outdoor synthetic ice rink
opens at the Rotary Blue Train Park inMouille Point.The installation of the ice rink was the
brainchild of Cape Town businessmen SeanHolmes and Cornelis Ouwehand, who haveled a project to restore the Rotary BlueTrain Park and develop it into a family out-door play experience.The park, which is open to the public and
can be hired for a children’s party, has un-dergone substantial refurbishment in thepast 15 months, including painting of theplay equipment and garden landscaping.A large portion of the park’s income is do-
nated to Rotary. Everything else is investedback into park operations and mainte-nance.The ice rink, which was opened on
Wednesday 30 December, is a key part of thepark’s restoration project.Made of Xtraice Pro panels, the 126m2
rink was partly sponsored by PenBev, thelocal bottler and distributor of Coca-ColaCompany products in the Western andNorthern Cape.The ice panels are self-lubricatedwith the
highest gliding degree in the industry. Therink is also environmentally friendly as itdoes not require electrical power to operate.Similar ice rinks have been installed in 70
countries around the world, including en-tertainment parks like Disneyland.V Children between the ages of three and 12 may rentice skates and take to the rink for 30 minutes at a
cost of R30 or skate for a full hour at a cost of R50.V For more information about the Rotary Blue TrainPark visit www.thebluetrainpark.co.za or contact084 314 9200.

week, help more than 350 adults and chil-dren, explains volunteer Richard Saner.“For them, standing in the queue for a nu-
tritious cup of soup and a slice of bread isworth it, as it is their only healthymeal thatweek,” he says.The volunteers also provide a safe space
for children, who come early to colour in orlisten to music and stories.
The soup kitchens are in need of help –either through volunteers’ time or dona-tions of carrots, potatoes, butternut, tur-nips, celery, stock cubes, soup mix, lentils,onions and oranges.“We are experiencing difficulties during
this harsh economic climate in securingfunds and items,” he says.A collection box is also available at the

Carmen’s jazz apart of journeyGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
Amusical journey that started in Mitch-ell’s Plain has reached a major mile-
stonewith the launch of Carmen Xclusive’sdebut CD.Many music lovers will simply know her
as Carmen Herbert or, if you’re a bit moreold-school, “Carmen from N2”.She laughs when acknowledging her as-
sociation with the popularband.“Yes, that was a very im-
portant part ofmy life,my ed-ucation and training in themusic business, but it startedbefore I joined them,” shesays.While, like so many musi-
cians on the Cape Flats, theroots of her talent are in thechurch, she used to sneakaway to the Inn on the Plainto listen to Rudolph Paulseand the band Horizon.“I loved the music; it just
meant something special tome and eventually I was per-suaded to enter a singingcompetition there and therest as they say is history.“Offers came in forme to performat caba-
ret shows and I was only 14 at the time, butI fell in love with the business and just en-joyed singing.”
Singing sweet 16As word spread about the young talent
she joined upwithMike Kwagga’s Nuff-Zedwhen she was 16 and a year later joined theWentzel brothers in N2.“Performing with them for almost ten
years was an exciting time forme. This wasalmost likemegoing to college and learningto hone my talent.“Eventually I felt that I wanted to take a
step up in my career by going beyond theclub scene, get into the corporate scenarioand work in a wider variety of styles.“That’s also when I decided to become
Carmen Xclusive as a brand that wanted toshow the world my own identity and thatthere’s only one me,” she laughs.Since then she has impressed music lov-
ers with the best in the business in SouthAfrica and discovered the jazzier side of hertalent with Ian Smith’s VJR and various
collaborations with the likes of RichardCaesar, Allou April and Robbie Jansen.With the release of her album, Xclusive
Nites @ Pigalles, she has surrounded her-self with some of the best around town.Camillo Lombard produced the albumwithhis band Top Dog backing her as well as abrass section comprising Ian Smith andWilly Haubrich.Carmen confesses she has been going
around to some of the popular radio sta-
tions but can’t get any of them to featurethe album on their playlists.This remains a mystery because every
tune on this album is a carefully craftedgem.“It’s an album of my favourite covers
done my way,” she says.“Volume 2 I am going to give the word
some of my originals.”She openswith theDavidFoster composi-
tion “Love that will Last” and the qualityof the voice that made so many love her isimmediately evident. The magic just keepson coming your way.She takes some pop classics like “Get
Lucky” and Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie”and twists them into tunes that could fea-ture in an album of new jazzy standards.Even Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” featureswith a funkier kind of feel.With a debut like this let’s hope Carmen
gets back into the studio quickly to give theworld some more of her musical magic.V For more information on where to get the albumemail [email protected] or call Bernie on079 871 9855.

The last few weeks of comments and observations sharedon social media have shown us that racism is still aliveand well in South Africa.More than 20 years into our “new SouthAfrica” we still
findpeopleholding on toprejudices that shouldhavebeendiscarded long ago.Many are even quick to use racism as an argument
against rational criticism, especially with regard to thegovernment.While some may claim that racial tensions are a com-
plex problem, made up of skewed history books, culturaldifference, class systems and generations of indoctrina-tion, none of these points provide any reason to treat an-other human being with disrespect.Science has shown us that on average, humans share
90% of their DNA with other humans with only 10% dis-tinguishing one population or race from the other.And archaeologists have shown us that broadly speak-
ing, we all share the same ancestors.At our very core, we are all made up the same. In fact,
pigmentation is merely the result of humanity’s adapta-bility in nature and the body’s response to ultraviolet ra-diation.Further investigation shows that darker complexions
weredeveloped in the tropics, closer to the equator,wherethere is more need for protection from harmful sun rays.Why then would this be any reason to treat anyone any
differently?Others say that racial belief structures have been
passed on through generations and would be impossibleto change.Cognitive psychology, however, has shownus thatwith
a little work, it is indeed possible to change thought pat-terns.Perhaps it is time to start reconsidering the way we see
the world, and to start changing our thought patterns?
Fireworks are for sociopathsSociopaths show a pervasive pattern ofdisregard for the rights and feelings ofothers. They live for the moment,forgetting the past and not planning thefuture, not thinking ahead about theconsequences their actions will have.They want immediate rewards andgratification.The use of fireworks is a sociopathic
behaviour because fireworks have anobvious and pervasive destructive effecton everyone, including the personlighting the fireworks.This New Year the carnage from
fireworks was worse than ever. Allaround the country, there were firesresulting in major environmentaldestruction, human injuries, thousandsof lost and terrified, injured animals,many of whom lost their lives, and thedisturbance of the peace of everyonewho has a right to privacy that fire-works invade.Let’s examine the pros and cons of
fireworks.Pros. “Fireworks are fun.” Well, yes, butfun at the expense of others is somethingonly a sociopath or sadist finds enjoya-ble.. “Fireworks are a legitimate religiouspractice.” This is absurd. See below.
Cons. Environmentally destructive, pollutesthe air and results in debris. Disturbsbirds and other wild animals.
. Firework noise is pervasive andviolent. This is disconcerting for manypeople including the elderly, posttraumatic stress disorder sufferers, smallchildren and for that matter anyone whoprefers peace and quiet in their ownhome.. Fireworks terrify animals. This is notsomething that can be avoided bylocking animals in as some suggest,since they can still hear the explosions.There are many animals that cannot begiven sedatives, like shelter animals,strays and wild animals in any givenarea.To make matters worse, these socio-
paths do not stick to the allotted times,with the result that animal ownerscannot predict when their pets will besubjected to terrifying noise.. Lastly, since there are no fireworksmanufacturers in South Africa, most ofthe money spent on fireworks doesnothing for the local economy.
Religous supportThe notion that fireworks are a
legitimate religious practice is bizarre.Religion is supposed to raise humanconsciousness, to make humans moreaware of their responsibilities, to seebeyond self-indulgence and understandthe negative impacts of a given practice.If that practice results in pain andhardship to others, religion shouldoppose, not support, the practice.It’s a no-brainer to anyone except a
sociopath that fireworks are not anacceptable expression of culture, religionor tradition.
Government-sanctioned schizophre-niaOn the one hand we have noise laws
that prohibit noise in residential areas,and fireworks by-laws that allow themduring certain periods for either tradi-tional or religious festivals. This ambigu-ity in legislative policy is schizophrenic.The same goes for the emergency
management services giving permissionfor displays to be held at schools, whichis prohibited by fireworks by-laws. Whatis the point in having laws if the councilis just going to give people permission tobreak them?Since the Animals Protection Act
states that it is an offence to terrify ananimal, and we know that fireworksterrify animals and that there are petsin every residential area, fireworksshould be prohibited in any residentialarea. Yet we have by-laws that allowfirework use in residential areas. To anysane person, this is inconsistent.Government needs its head read.The use of fireworks is hopelessly
incompatible with any ethic one canthink of – they have no benefit whatso-ever. They need to be prohibited inprivate hands as soon as possible.
DEREK DU TOIT,ANTI-FIREWORKS ALLIANCE,
I appreciate the service and attitude at Retreat day hospitalIt was with great joy that I saw howcommitted the health staff were duringthe festive season at Retreat Day hospital(community health centre) when I visitedthere.On behalf of the Retreat, Steenberg,
Lavender Hill, Capricorn, Heathfield andour squatter communities, I would liketo thank the staff for their dedication.They always showed love, respect and
good service delivery under tremendousstress and pressure from those few
unappreciated ones. Irrespective of thehigh patient load, especially with theviolence, gunshots and stabbing incidentsas well as the drug abusers that must betreated, they still maintained an attitudeof caring.I also want to apologise for the verbal
abuse from some patients they have toface. These patients do not know betterbecause that was also the way they wereraised.I have done some research by ques-
tioning patients on a few occasions abouttheir impression of the staff attitude.99.9% were greatly appreciative of thestaff.Keep up the good work, Retreat day
hospital staff.I also want to urge all those in our
community who are unemployed to comeand volunteer your services. This can bea stepping stone to greatness for you.

Softballers face tough rivalsJOSEPH PILLAY
Westridge Yankees’ softbal-lers can be proud after hav-ing a very good andwell de-
served harvest on the Cape TownSoftball Association’s super leagueplaying fields over the weekend.The Mitchell’s Plain side first
staved off a stiff challenge by Fal-cons, beating them 5-0 in an en-counter at Turfhall Stadium onSaturday.This victory was followed by a
thrilling knockout encounter onSunday when St Martin’s cameclose to upstaging the Yankees ina see-saw game. The Yankees man-aged to rise to the occasion to edgeout Saints 6-5.Saturday’s win over the Falcons
served as a morale-boosting tri-umph for the Yankees, who weredetermined to break the strangle-hold Falcons have had over themin recent months.The Yankees were in a destruc-
tive mood, with the battery combi-nation of pitcher Megan Cable andcatcher Carla Witchman sharingin four strike outs.Cable faced 23 batters in her six
innings pitched. While she conced-ed two base-on-balls and earnedfour fanned scalps, she surren-dered only twohits toCandiceRoss(1-3) and Bettina Philips (1-3), whoweighed in with a two bagger.Meanwhile, Falcons started off
withCathyBuckley and shewasonthemound for 4.1 of an innings. Shefaced 22 batters and allowed sevenhits while relief pitcher Nicky
Jones (1.2 of an inning) faced ninebatters and surrendered three hits.Among the ten hits the Yankees
clobbered off the Falcons’ pitching
pair.Witchman (2-2), Cable, JackieAdonis (each 2-3), CharmelleWhiteboy (1-2), Candice Bull (1-3)and Nuraan Williams (1-4), who
smacked a triple, were in goodstead with the bat that contributedto runs and simultaneously a de-served and industrious win.

JOSEPH PILLAY
The Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA) is bat-tling to keep its head above water due to lack ofsponsorship. The organisation was once regardedas the most successful softball body in Africa, butthis crown seems to be slipping in recent years.In an in-depth, exclusive interview with CTSA
chairperson Noore Nacerodien, he admitted thegame of softball needs a change in fortune as thecommunity cannot afford to play sport anymoredue to the high cost of fees, transport and equip-ment.Lack of financial backing from benefactors has
now urged Nacerodien to do something about thisand “instead of begging for handouts to ensure thecontinued existence of our organisation, we mustget off our backs and look at ways of raising fundsto keep our heads above water”.
Golf day fundraiserNacerodien says one such fundraising initiative
planned is a “city of champions” golf day event atthe Mowbray Golf Club on 17 April.Nacerodien is making an appeal to golf enthusi-
asts to bust out their nine-irons to help CTSA.“For many years the selected provincial and na-
tional softball players had to pay their own way totournament championships.“The poorer clubs are suffering due to their cash-
strapped coffers to travel to venues to play and hon-our fixtures, with the result that many defaultshave occurred in recent times and over the years.Clubs have been struggling and cannot afford to payfor transport.“Another aspect and bone of contention is that
some of our affiliated clubs have little or no equip-ment. Thus formany years theminnow sport codes,like softball, baseball, etc., failed to obtain assist-ance from the corporate world.”Nacerodien is confident that the fundraising
event could help ease the burden.He is appealing to potential sponsors and compa-
nies to partnerwith the organisation to donate priz-es and goody bag items.Companies are also invited to purchase green
putting branding packages, ranging from R4000 fora one four-ball hole, and on the green putting surfa-ces fromR10 000 toR35 000 for either silver, gold andplatinum sponsorship packages.Nacerodien says he was told that the Mowbray
Golf Clubhad gained a reputation for hardly havingto close the course due to adverse conditions duringthe wet season.The fundraising event invites golf enthusiasts to
play an 18-hole game in four-person teams.Entry for the tournament costs R1400 per four-
ball or R350 per player.V Interested parties and companies can contact Nacerodien on076 566 7774 or [email protected].

Westridge create big upsetSEAN CAMPBELL
Westridge Yankees showedgreat character by collect-ing all four points on offer
this weekend after their disap-pointing loss last weekend.On Saturday Westridge caused
the biggest upset of the season bybeating league leader Bothasig 8-5at Stephen Reagan sportsground.Bothasig struggled to come to
grips with the off-speed pitching ofDean Martin, who threw seven in-nings and only conceded six hitsand five runs. Martin’s consistentpitching was well supported by hisfield, who only made a single errorin the game.Bothasig’s best hitters were An-
drew Norman (2-2) and Kyle Botha(2-4). Brad Erasmus hit a solohome-run in the eighth innings aft-er which Martin was replaced byJason Ripepi, who kept Bothasigscoreless until the end.JP Norman (4), Damon Mitchell
(0.1) and Duanne Feldsman (4.2)did the pitching duties. Gwyn Pe-tersen (3-5), Ripepi (2-4) and VeonRix (1-2) did well with the bat forWestridge.Westridge continued their win-
ning ways on Sunday when theytrounced Silvertree 7-2 at StephenReagan sportsground.Luwayne du Plessis shouldered
the pitching duties for Westridgeand restricted Silvertree to fivehits and two runs. Silvertreescored both of their runs in the sec-ond innings.SilvertreeusedPatPhillips,Day-
ton Williams and Dean Jacobs tocarry out their pitching duties.Petersen (2-5) and Kyle Ripepi
(1-2) didwellwith the bats forWest-ridge.
Bellville leapfrog AthloneBellville narrowly beat Athlone
3-1 in a tough encounter at Park-town sports complex on Saturday.
A tough pitching duel betweenthe two sides sawRussell Olivier (5inn) and Callan Pearce (4) of Bell-ville allowing Athlone five hits fortheir run andCarlMichaels (6) andLloyd Stevens (3) conceding fourhits, allowing Bellville three runs.Bellville scored two runs in the
third innings after catcherAlistairVeale could not hold onto a great
throw from Leon Dodgen fromright field. The error allowed AlanRandall and Anthony Phillips toscore from second and first base re-spectively off the base hit from Jo-nathan Phillips.Athlone narrowed the lead to 2-1
