Speaking at a media briefing held at the Mfuleni Police Station last Thursday, clus- ter commander Brigadier Vincent Beaton said the entire cluster – comprising the Kleinvlei, Kuils River and Mfuleni police stations – is currently focusing on this issue. According to him this issue also generates other crimes such as murder and attempted murders. Beaton gave police senior management and the media a brief background of crime threats in the cluster. “At all three stations we actually focus on gangsterism. Our trio crimes which are house and business robbery, car-hijacking, general robberies, burglary in residential areas and domestic violence, are also major concerns.” There are hotspots for each of these crimes. Referring to gangsterism and drugs, Bea- ton said the threat and concern for Mfuleni police was gangsterism and robbery, which is concentrated in Bardale Village. “Another area of concern is Wesbank where mostly gang activities are reported, similarly in Happy Valley and near the Blackheath railway station.” Asked about community members’ re- quest for more patrols and a satellite police station in Wesbank, Beaton said the satellite police station and visible police are actually linked to each other. “There is a perception that there is a lack of visible policing. We are, however, imple- menting sector police in the area at the mo- ment and have done so successfully. “We have vehicles in the sectors that at- tend to the complaints and conduct crime prevention initiatives,” he said. “Our resources are currently stretched, so in terms of the establishment of a satellite police station, our strategy is to rather in- crease the personnel in terms of sector polic- ing. “Currently we have increased the deploy- ment. We have high visibility patrols, espe- cially over weekends when crime is at its highest, especially at night.” Colonel Luyanda Damoyi, station com- mander at Mfuleni police station which pa- trols this area, said over weekends they have additional personnel, including personnel from other units such as the Public Order Policing, who assist. “This is our peak time regarding gangsterism,” Damoyi said.

Kuils River station commander Col DysinJacobs said a similar strategy applies totheir operations in the crime ridden area ofKalkfontein. “Robberies especially are aproblem, more so in the morning and lateevening. We then have deployment in thearea,” Jacobs said.Beaton said it was very important to know
that there was a “very good and effective”gang strategy in the cluster and province.“We have regularmeetings where we only
address gangsterism. We have a database ofall the cases,weknowwho is involved in the-se cases and we have a very good cooperati-onwith crime intelligencewho giveus infor-mation about these gang’s activity.“We arrest a lot of gang members, and ha-
ve been successful in opposing bail in someof these cases.”He said the police have daily search and
seizure operations and also execute a lot ofsearch warrants in areas such as Wesbank.
“We confiscate a lot of firearms from thegangs, and ammunition.”He said apart fromWesbank and Kalkfon-
tein, the police in Kleinvlei also have to dealwith this threat.“The hotspots in Kleinvlei areMalibu Vil-
lage, Spandau, Melton Rose, Kleinvlei andalong Old Faure Road,” Beaton said.He said Old Faure Road near Mfuleni is a
“huge challenge”. The area is known forprostitution and robberies.“Here ladies of the night hang around the
areawhere gentlemanpick themup, do theirbusiness and then the so called clients getrobbed. This is a problem for us, butwe haveinterventions there,” he said.Asked to elaborate, Beaton said: “We dis-
covered that there is a lot of crime in thatarea, we therefore developed a database ofall of the cases. Every day there is deploy-ment in the area and since these interventi-ons crime has gone down.”
Kuils River Police Cluster last week discussed crime trends, hotspots and police successes.Brigadier Vincent Beaton, cluster commander (right) said all three police stations in the clusterfocus on gangsterism. With him is Colonel Daysin Jacobs Colonel Luyanda Damoyi.

Today they’re selling cupcakes andcooldrink, tomorrow they might end-up be-coming South Africa’s new financial advi-sors, chief executive officers or even audi-tors.Thesearepossible careerpaths for agroup
of youngsters from crime ridden Wesbankwho were taught the value of money at a re-cent market day held in the area.The market day was held on Friday at the
Multi Purpose Centre.Here children were given the opportunity
to sell, among other things, cooldrinks, cup-cakes, sweets and fruit.
The day was organised and hosted by theCentre for Justice and Crime Prevention.“The market is basically about teaching
young children to become entrepreneurs,even from selling flowers one can start abusiness, it’s stuff youhave at home that youcan sell,” Erica van der Heever, a memberof the CJCP, told TygerBurger.The children who were selected to partici-
pate in the day are part of the CJCP’s FamilyPreservationChildrenClub – an after schoolprogramme for children between the ages6 and 11 years old. Approximately 20 chil-dren participated in the day’s event.“They are all from Wesbank,” Erica said.Anthea Davids, project coordinator at the
CJCP, said themain objective of the daywas
to give children the opportunity to learnabout the value of money.“Most of them struggle withmoney and fi-
nances.“If their parents do notwork they can then
sell something and make money.“Sometimes they expect more from their
parents but they do not know the value ofwhat they receive,” Anthea added.The children had to calculate the money
they earned, subtract and add.“They enjoyed themselves,” Anthea said.A similar daywas held in Belhar recently.On Friday the children earned more than
R300.“We normally use themoney for activities
for them to participate in,” Anthea said.

fel oorlede.“Die kinders se ouers, Rolene en Errol
Bout, is met rolstoele na die begrafnis ge-bring. Ons het hulle so 07:00 gaan haal endie middag ná die diens weer Tygerberg-hospitaal toe geneem,” het Tony gesê.
“Dit was baie hartseer. Daar was ver-skriklik baie mense. Van Kyle se skool-maats en klasonderwysers was ook by diediens,” het Tony gesê. Van sy klasmaatswas ook slippedraers.
Die kinders se ouers het diegene wat ge-help het met die reëlings, bedank vir hulbydrae. Die familie is deur gemeenskapsle-de, sowel as deur Errol se werkgewer, dieAndante-tehuis vir bejaardes, geldelik by-gestaan. Dié tehuis se bestuur het vir diekinders se begrafnisse betaal. Tesame met

High school launches its very own magazineRICHARD ROBERTS
@richardjohn_rj
An initiative to get teens interested injournalism is underway at a Mfulenihigh school.
The initiative, a high school magazinewhich was launched a week ago at Man-zomthombo Senior Secondary school, wasstarted by a teacher hoping to cultivate fu-ture writers and photographers.Teacher Jonathan Mangwiro told Tyger-
Burger this week that he is happy with thefirst product – Volume 1.“But I am looking forward to the ones that
will follow.”Jonathan did the first project mostly by
himself but was assisted by some learners.
He said the objective is to get scholars com-pletely involved, to train them the art of writ-ing, photography and editing.Jonathan said he initiated a similar project
at a high school in Lwandle, near Strand in2013.He joined Manzomthombo Senior Second-
ary School in September 2013.Jonathan, who has no background in jour-
nalism, said the reason why he wanted aschool magazine atManzomthombo is so thatthe school can have its own identity.“It will help uplift the relationship between
the school, the parents and other stakehold-ers, as well as impart the knowledge of jour-nalism to the children who will hopefully beworking as journalists on the next edition.“Apart from marketing our school, the
magazine is also a way of looking for do-nors to help the school, where we lackfunds,” Jonathan said.He said with the establishment of a mag-
azine, the school – with an average passrate of 85% over the last five years – willbe able to show other schools that they arecapable of running a magazine.“It will also indicate that we are united,”
said Zimbabwean-born Jonathan.The first edition was centred around in-
troducing the teachers and the various ac-tivities which the school offers.Jonathan started writing in January.“The learners need time to learn more
about how it works. The enthusiasm isthere, but they lack the know-how.He plans to teach them how to conduct
interviews, improve their writing and showthem how to take photographs.A total of 1 700 copies of Volume 1 was
printed thanks to help from sponsors.He said he is optimistic about the future
of the magazine. “I wanted to do it when Iwas in my home country, Zimbabwe, but welacked the resources. When I came here Icapitalised on the resources that were at mydisposal.”School principal JohnMatiso said the fact
that they have started the magazine is amilestone achievement for the school. “Wewant it to be learner centred, where werecord all the things the learners have donefor the year,” Matiso said.He said they also want to set up a website
to help market the school.

Gesin verloor allesin huisbrandRICHARD ROBERTS
@richardjohn_rj
’n Gesin van Wesbank moes verlede Sater-dag feesvier en vrolik wees. Toe ’n brand eg-ter hul huis vernietig, het dit in ’n dag vanrou en hartseer verander.’nPaartjie vanStrandveld inWesbank sou
dié betrokke dag hul babaseun se eerste ver-jaardag vier. Alles vir die spesiale dag wasreeds gereël. ’n Brand wat vroeg die oggenduitgebreekhet, het egter al hul besittings, so-wel as die items vir die verjaardagpartytjie,totaal vernietig.Sherline Presence en haar verloofde, Abu-
baker Rhoda, wat by nommer 62 bly, se tele-visie, DVD-speler, identiteitsdokumente,geld, ketel, yster, yskas, kombuisstel en bedis in die vlammehel verwoes. Buiten dié toe-behore is ’n verjaardagkoek, lekkers, koel-drank en skyfies, wat vir klein Reezah, hulbabaseun, se verjaardag bedoel was, ook
deur die vlamme verwoes. Sherline het gesêdie voorval het die dag bederf. Haar kind sedoeke en geboortesertifikaat lê ook tussendie puin, het sy vertel. “Ons sou 20 kindersgenooi het na sy partytjie toe. Ons het ook’n springkasteel gereël,” het die ma vertel.Volgens Sherline het die brand in ’n wen-
dyhuis by hul bure langsaan ontstaan. Dieoorsaak van die brand is nog onbekend.Belinda de Villiers, Sherline se ma wat in
’n steenhuis aan die voorkant bly, het gesê:“Dis al ’n paar dae later, maar ons ruim nogop.”Belinda se huis is ook gedeeltelik beska-
dig. Haar kamermuur, dak en gedeelte vandie vloer is beskadig.Sherlinehet aanTygerBurgervertel dat sy
Saterdag omstreeks 02:00 iets vreemds opge-merk het.“Toe ek wakker skrik, was die vlamme al
hoog. Ek kon net my kind gryp en uithard-loop,” het sy gesê.

Werkloosheidsvlakke inSuid-Afrika is baie hoog. Ditbeteken gesinne sonder inkom-ste en armoede.Daar is ’n aantal oplossings
wat die probleem doeltreffendkan aanspreek.Suid-Afrikaners is oor
dekades bekend vir hullevindingrykheid.Goeie onderwys is die eerste
groot stap wat noodsaaklik isom ’n inkomste te verseker.Prof. Jonathan Jansen het
onlangs die boek Fixing ourschools in South Africa geskryf.Die boek ontleed die onder-
wys-situasie in Suid-Afrikavolledig en hy kom as onder-wyskundige met waardevolleen konstruktiewe oplossings.’n Studie is gedoen om 19
suksesvolle skole in die negeprovinsies van Suid-Afrika teidentifiseer. Die meerderheidkom uit townships.Daar is ook ’n gestruktureer-
de proses van werksessies omskoolhoofde en onderwyserswat belangstel, deur ’n ekspo-nensiële leerskool te neem om’n vernuwingsproses in dieonderwys teweeg te bring.Die uitdaging van Christene
in sleutelposisies is om diéboek te bekom, te bestudeer enleiers in die onderwys tebevriend.Wanneer ’n brug gebou is,
moet die goeie nuus verspreiword om sodoende ’n geleent-heid te benut om ons onderwyssuksesvol te hervorm.

’n Week gelede lui ’n bruinman – ligte vel, bleskop, effensoorgewig, dalk so in sy laat40’s en Engelssprekend – myvoordeurklokkie in Brackenfell-hoogte.Hy stel homself bekend as
Patrick Maleme, maar ek weet
Wees op die uitkykvir ondankbare man
nie of dit sy werklike naam isnie.Hy het ’n groot, swart harde-
bandboek by hom, waarin ’nmens kan opskryf as jy ’ndonasie wil maak. In die boekis ’n getikte brief wat “beves-tig” dat hy aangestel is omdonasies in te vorder virbehoeftiges – for the needy.Ek gee hom ’n groot sak klere
in uitstekende toestand, ’n paarblikkies kos en ander nie-be-derfbare kos-items, asook ’nklompie skryfbehoeftes wat ekal vir baie jare eenkant houmet die spesifieke doel om ditte skenk aan kinders wat ditmoontlik mag gebruik.In die boek word ’n mens se
naam en adres kamstig opge-skryf, sodat ’n dankie-sê-skryweaan jou gerig kan word.’n Dag later stap ek ’n bietjie
om die blok van my woning enek sien hoe die skryfbehoeftesgestrooi lê tussen die onkruidop die sypaadjie, nat gereën.Wees bedag vir hierdie man.
Ongelukkig beteken sy ondank-bare optrede nou dat ek nie vanverdere hulp sal wees aanpersone wat by my aanklop nie.Ek sal voortaan uiters versigtigwees aan wie ek skenkingsdoen.
LAASTE KEER VIR ’N POP GEVATBrackenfellhoogte
The murder of four-year-oldTaegrin Morris from ReigerPark, Johannesburg, wouldalmost certainly not havehappened if the traffic policingdemanded for many years bymy Road Safety Action Cam-paign (RSAC) had been inplace.In addition, if the other road
safety measures demandedsince 2005 by the RSAC were inplace, the country’s roadcarnage could have beenreduced by up to 90%.Those who failed to act
include the ANC government,all opposition political partiesand the public protector – all ofwhom were approached repeat-
edly but failed to act.Currently only the DA has
responded, but has not yetimplemented the requiredmeasures in the province orcity where it exercises politicalcontrol.The RSAC calls on all South
Africans to support action toend our road carnage. Thosewho wish to assist may call meon 082 098 9552.

SLICE OF LIFE
Optrede vansterk vroueweer gedenkHierdie hoofartikel handel skaamteloosoor vroue – natuurlik in die lig vanSaterdag, Vrouedag. Dié dag gedenk 9Augustus 1956 toe vroue reg oor die landteen die pasboeke protes aangeteken het.Dit stem ooreen met wat Marilyn
Monroe gesê het: “Well behaved womenrarely make history.” Dié vroue het teenalle reëls opgetree en hier gedenk ons dit.Sy’t ook opgemerk: “Women who wants
to be equal to men, lack ambition,” maargelukkig het vroue lankal dié les geleer.’n Anonieme vrou word op die internet
aangehaal: “Here’s to strong women: maywe know them, may we be them, may weraise them.” Sela.Albert Einstein sluit hierby aan: “A
woman who follows the crowd willusually not go further than the crowd. Awoman who walks alone, is likely to findherself in places no-one has been before.”Ongeag jou persoonlike mening, vroue
bly wonderlike wesens, die gom watgesinne bymekaar hou, van huise tuistesmaak, onder geen omstandighede ophouom haar kinders lief te hê nie, en altydreg is om uit hart en hand te gee.Maak nie saak hoe sterk en tough ’n
vrou mag wees nie, uiteindelik het sy ookmaar net koestering en liefde nodig– sodat sy het om uit te deel. OscarWilde het dít verstaan: “Women aremeant to be loved, not to be understood.”En die laaste wyse woorde oor wat
vroue nog graag wil hê en nodig het, komvan Aristotle Onassis: “If women didn’texist, all the money in the world wouldhave no meaning!”
HOOFARTIKEL
SMSV Ek wil ’n beroep doen op die munisipaliteit oor die ‘backyard mechanics’ wat aankarre op sypaadjies werk en trokke wat sostaan dat ’n mens se sig belemmer word:Trap asseblief die mense vas. Dink aanons veiligheid. Tot die huurmotors watskoolkinders vervoer, ry net so onverskillig. - Anoniem
V Ja, ek het nie eens verder gelees nie (Parke daagliks bevuil, TB, 26 Julie). Daar istwee supermarkte en nie toiletgeriewe virklante nie. Tipies derdewêrelds! - AJH
V Asseblief, mense, as dit asdromdag is,sit dit dan eers buite en bring dit in jou erfop dieselfde dag. Ek is ’n huisvrou en siendaagliks hoe dit verkeerde elemente najou huis lok. Respekteer jouself en ander,asseblief. - Brackenfeller
V Die mense wat te lui is om hul asblikkeagter in hul erwe of agter hul hekke in tetrek, is die mense wat dromkrappers elkedag die buurt inlok. Hou jou drom op jouerf agter ’n hek of agter in die erf, sleepdit uit in die oggend na waar jou vuilgoedverwyder word en ons sal nie heel nagwakker gehou word deur blaffende hondenie. - E.P.
V Dit help nie om die asblikke die oggenduit te sit nie; die dromkrappers begin alvroeg (TB, SMS’e, 30 Julie). Soos jy gesêhet: Die Vader het ons verstand gegee envir hulle ook. Dink voor jy dom uitlatingsmaak. - Glen Fox, Brackenfell
V Die toestand by Parowstasie is net nog’n bewys daar is geen erns om misdaad tebekamp nie. Is dit dan so moeilik om opte tree en skoon te maak? Waar is Parowse trots? Waarvoor betaal ons belasting?Dis hoog tyd dat die inwoners prosedeer.- E. de J
V Asblikkrappers krap meeste van die tydin die oggend in die asblikke in WindsorPark. So daar is absoluut niks met ons verstand verkeerd nie. - SKE, Kraaifontein

Eerste River’s Marcha Marais has won theCape Town semifinal of this year’s Topstarscompetition.
Topstars set Marchaon a musical journeyLOUISA STEYL
@lounotes
An Eerste River Shoprite employee’s brav-ery in making her voice heard has earnedher a trophy.Marcha Marais, who works at Shoprite
Eerste River, has won the Cape Town leg ofthe Shoprite Group’s annual Topstars sing-ing competitionheld atRatanga Junction inJuly.The fruit and veg assistant says she heard
about the competition before, but never hadthe courage to enter until her previousbranch manager, Sadly Wileman, pushedher to enter this year’s competition.Marcha says she didn’t expect to even
make it to the semi-finals, let alone win.Not bad for a singer who has never en-
tered any singing competitions before. Be-fore the competition she had only ever sungat church and at work.The Topstars competition is held annual-
ly and is open to all Shoprite Group employ-ees (including employees of the Checkers,Usave, House & Home, OK Furniture, Liq-uorshop, Computicket, MediRite and Hun-gry Lion chains) across Africa.The competition aims to develop a sense
of value in doing a jobwell, by using singingperformance in a competition environ-ment.Throughout the competition, contestants
are exposed to encouragement, mentorshipand coaching, with the idea of developingstrong individualswhoexperiencepersonalgrowth and contribute to stronger teams.For her winning performance, Marcha
sangAdele’s “HidingmyHeart”. Adele hap-pens to be one of Marcha’s musical heroes,but she also enjoys listening toLionel Ritch-ie, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.
“I’m an old school love song type of per-son,” she says.Marcha has no idea yet what she’ll sing
for the competition finals, which take placein October, but says: “My colleagues willsurely help me with that.”Although there was much excitement
when she returned to work, Marcha saysthings soon returned to normal.“I’m still the same old Marcha that talks
a lot, only now I sing much more at work.”Her confidence in her singing has grown
and she says after Topstars, she hopes “todo much more with what God has blessedme with”.“I just hopeanddreamthat this is a strong
stepping stone for my singing,” Marchasays.

Ladies with high octane in their veinsand fast cars on their minds are goingto be accorded preferential treatment
during theWomen’sDayFestivalMeeting atKillarney on Saturday.Due to run in conjunction with the sixth
round of the exciting Power Series spon-sored byWingfieldMotors, ladies will be en-titled to free admission to the circuit. Theywill also be offered special privileges whenthey visit the Trackside Pub and Grill at theclubhouse.
And because it’s also a family event, ifthey bring the children there is the added ad-vantage of playground facilities, includingjumping castles outside the clubhouse forthe kids, who of course will also be entitledto free admission if they’re under 12.Then, for something completely different,
at least one lucky lady is going to be the re-cipient of a ticket for a “taxi ride” aroundthe circuit at racing speed in a McLarenMP12 sports coupedrivenbya formerKillar-ney sports car champion. Incidentally, thepotent MP12 is powered by a twin turbo,quad camV8 linked to a F1 type, seven speed
semi-automatic gearbox. Tested by the repu-table SportAutomagazine inFrance, an ear-lier model recorded a top speed of 343 km/h.Although the Power Series is expected to
provide its usual red hot racing excitement,with the season having now passed the half-way mark the categories are becoming evenmore closely contested.As far as individuals are concerned, one
of the highlights of the meeting is expectedto be a toughbattle betweenBellville’s SouthAfrican Engen Polo champion Kosie Wey-ers, who is going to be up against Durban-ville stock car hotshot Shaun Zurich in class
C of the Jive GTi Challenge.However, the Challenge is not a men only
event and acknowledged fast girls like And-rea Bate and Wendy Aukamp can be reliedon to make their presence felt.TheWomen’s Day Festival is an all day af-
fairwith 16 championship events from 10:00.
WIN! WIN! WIN!V Six lucky ladies can each win a ticket to attendthe Woman’s Day Festival Meeting at Killarney. SMSthe word “killarney” followed by your name and contact details to 45527 before 12:00 on Thursday 7 August. SMSes cost R1.50.

The UCT/MRC Research Unit for ExerciseScience and Sports Medicine, based at theSports Science Institute in Newlands, is re-cruiting research volunteers for a study onthe psycho-physiological determinants ofpacing during prolonged endurance exer-cise.The study will investigate the physical
and mental factors which determine the en-durance performance and pacing strategiesin a 70km time trial; the inter-individual dif-ferences between “elite” and “sub-elite” cy-clists, and the intra-individual differencesbetween an individual time trial and a head-on-head competition.The study involves laboratory visits to de-
termine peak oxygen consumption, peakpower output and maximum heart rate, aswell as other anthropometric measure-ments.Research participants will be required to
perform a 70km familiarisation and threeself-paced, maximal 70km time-trials ontheir own bicycles on a virtual, profiled
course, including a head-on-head competi-tion against other matched cyclists.Research subjects shouldbemale sub-elite
or elite cyclists; between 18 and 45 years old;training for more than three years in a sys-tematic fashion, including high intensityand strength interval training; training twoto four or more than four times and 200-300km or more than 300km a week, respec-tively; able to ride a sub-three:thirty (3:15hto 3:30h) or a sub-three hours Cape Argus,respectively.Benefits of participating in the study in-
clude a comprehensive report of all anthro-pometric, performance and psychologicalmeasurements worth over R3 500; an oppor-tunity to learn about your physical andmen-tal strengths and weaknesses relevant forendurance performance; and to escape thewinter and train indoors on a virtual hillycourse.V To apply, email Dr Andreas Venhorst at an[email protected] or call 072 589 4040.Applications close on Sunday 10 August.

Die Hoërskool J.G. Meiring se eersterugbyspan het die afgelope Saterdagmet sy interskole-sege van 27-17 oor
die Hoërskool President veel bygedra tot dieskool se 60-jarige feesvieringe vanjaar.Maardaarmeehethy terselfdertyd ’ndem-
per geplaas op die Vrijzee-span se 50-jarigevieringe dié jaar.In Bellville het die o.19A-span vanHSDur-
banville – danksy veel beter benutting vandie sterk wind – met 22-21 met HS Bellvilleafgereken nadat die Durbies met die draai-slag nog 5-18 agtergeloop het.Daarmee het Durbanville sy wendroogte
die afgelope paar jaar teen die Bellvillieteverbreek. Stellenberg het op sy beurt alle af-delings van die spel teen D.F. Malan oor-heers en het met sy oorwinning van 30-6 virdie vierde keer in ’n ry die DeeEffers onder-gekry.
De Kuilen was met 22-12 te sterk vir Janvan Riebeeck.Die HS Tygerberg het met sy besoek aan
HS Swartland oor gans te veel skietgoed virdie Malmesbury-manne beskik en maklikmet 40-14 geseëvier.Maar Brackenfell het hom katswink ge-
loop teen die veel meer gedugte HTS Drost-dy, wat met sy baie swaarder voorhoede dieaanvoorwerk gedoen het vir die sege van41-7. Die sukkelende Monumentpark het
eweneens ’n lelike pak slae van 23-0 van La-bori gekry, terwyl HTS Bellville met 27-21die kous oor die kop gekry het vanPrimrose-klub.Ander spanne wat wel aan die mooi kant
van die uitslag geëindig het, was Milnerton(22-17 t Bellville-Suid), Table View (18-17 tEdgemead), Tygerberg-klub (42-0 t Parow),Excelsior (38-7 t Spine Road), Scottsdene(18-7 t Bernadino Heights) en Eben Donges(41-17 t Zwaanswyk).

Die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland het bynaverras in die naweek se jongste reeks Superli-ga-rugbywedstryde in dieWP,maar is toemet’n kortkop koudgesit deur Valsbaai.Dit was UWK wat aanvanklik die toon aan-
gegee het en ’n welverdiende voorsprong van10-0 behaal het. Maar die besoekers se groterervaring het algaande die deurslag gegee vir’n naelskraapse oorwinning van 19-17.Ook Belhar het hom in sy kragmeting teen
die Universiteit van Kaapstad aan die begingoed van sy taak gekwyt, maar toe die Ikeysin die tweede helfte die sluise ooptrek, was dieweg gebaan vir ’n sege van 52-0. Durbanville-Bellville was bobaas in alle afdelings van sywedstryd teenNoordelikes/Northlink-kollegeom maklik met 45-7 te wen, terwyl Bellvilleaanvanklikmoedige teenstand teen die Tyger-berg-klub gebied het.Maar toe het die Florida-park-manne geleidelik ’n wurggreep bekomop pad na ’n oorwinning van 47-3. Kuilsrivierhet met 18-45 in die stof gebyt teen die Maties.
