Police in Bishop Lavis have been gain-ing ground in the battle against crime.
On different occasions over the past fewweeks they have been leaving no stone un-turned when it comes to crime prevention.They confiscated 140 packets of tik and
10g of the drug was found in a house in As-segaai Road, Bonteheuwel and a suspectwas arrested.There was also a search warrant execut-
ed at a second-handdealer shop inBontehe-uwel where copper cables with an estimat-ed value of R10 000 were confiscated.Detectives at the station have also been
doing some good work leading to convic-tions.During operations in the area by Det/
Const Ettiene Lerm, after Const More Len-nox and Const Jan Marais searched a mo-tor vehicle they found a firearm with onemagazine, that was reported stolen inGrassy Park.They then arrested Shane Grant Jeffries
(24) from Hester Street, Valhalla Park.Lerm’s follow-up investigations have led
to Jeffries getting a seven-year sentence re-cently.This detective’s dedication to his job also
helped in another incident that happenedin 2010.In that incident Constables Fernando
Hayes andVuyoDyantyi followed up infor-mation given by a member of the public ata church in Leadwood Street, Bonteheuw-el.A suspect was reported hiding behind
the door inside the church. When policesearched the man they found a 9mm Tau-rus pistol with 15 rounds in his possession.They then arrested Mustapha Hen-
dricks, then 19, fromPampas Street, Bonte-heuwel who was recently sentenced to sev-en years’ imprisonment for possession ofan unlicensed gun and ammunition.
. Police are also looking for help in con-nection with cases in the area.On Tuesday 3 July at about 14:00 police
found the body of an unknown man, ap-proximately 45 years old, on open field be-hind Shoprite Centre, Charlesville.The deceased, who died of natural caus-
es, was dressed in brown pants, black andred jacket, grey socks with one black tak-kie.Contact the investigating officer, Detec-
tive Warrant Officer Pierre Bothma on 021935 9802/3.

. From page 1.“I amdoingmybest to expose those talents
with the programme Talents in Action onCape TownTV, but I cannot do it onmy own.“My inspiration came when I was a bit
younger and went to the recreation centreto play sport and take part in other activi-ties. Today I can live out my talent and helpothers to reach their dreams and discovertheir potential. “My message to the youth isthat they must follow their dreams and be-come successful so that our younger genera-tion can look up to them.”Yendor Adonis is a passionate cultural ac-
tivist who feels people have forgotten thecultural legacy of the past that existed incommunities across the Cape Flats.“TheCapeFlats has been turned into a cul-
tural wasteland,” he said.“There are virtually no venues wheremu-
sicians can sourcework.Writers, poets, filmmakers and those who have support skillsacross the board like sound engineers haveno organised industry to channel their ef-forts.“National radio and television has been
hijacked by commercialism and the state,and only serves its already-emphasised nar-row interest, which means that much of thecultural product from the ‘Flats’ has no co-herent and funded testing or marketing ar-ea.“The power of foreign companies like
Sony andEMImean that theyhave anunfairadvantage over localmarketing abilities, be-cause they can buy needle-time on radio,broadcast-time on television and can affordthemorepopular and effective options in theprint media.”Adonis also feels that through music
many of our children are force-fed negativerole models while local musicians are notgiven the chance to inspire our youth.“Musicians from the ‘Flats’ have very lit-
tle support in the electronicmediawhere thelistening public are still force-fed a diet of
importedmusic, while localmusic is regard-ed as inferior.“This situation is far more ominous than
the glitz and glamour suggests. The aggres-sive marketing of foreign cultural forms isdesigned to neutralise local projects as com-petition and this intention should be under-stood more thoroughly, because it formspart of the deluge of attacks on our abilityto construct a local identity.”On the visual side of things he feels that
Hollywood cannot and does not tell our sto-ries.“We are the ones who should do that,” he
says.“American music forms are fantastic, but
so are our rhythms, chord progressions andthe stories we tell with them.“Radio, television and the local print me-
dia should be willing partners in establish-ing a local cultural stronghold. Our strong-est support should come from our own peo-ple.“Another missing partner in the dilemma
is our national government. Its distorted useof the national population demographicmeans that funding for projects are raciallymanipulated to support mainly those of in-terest to, or connected to the state and thatwhich promotes the survival of those whodominate our economy.”He also looked to parents who must as-
sume control of their children’s educationand ensure that their neighbourhoods arefree from gang activity and drug trafficking.“I am not promoting vigilantism, but we
need to take control of our environment tothe extent that crime and corruption find itimpossible to thrive.“The low standards introduced into gov-
ernment schools are a major concern if weconsider the fact that we do compete at a glo-bal level, no matter what we do.“Low educational standards set us up for
failure, but our challenge is: there’s littleemployment, but plenty of work.”
Lack of local youthrole models real issue

Children in Bonteheuwel are packingaway their PlayStations this weekend –and shining up their goene.
While the slightly older generation in thecommunity’s eyes will light up with the localnames for different types of marbles like iro-nies, soudies, and tamaties, it seems like anew generation is learning the game with anexciting initiative in the community.
A young man in Bonteheuwel wants tobring back those carefree days of youth play-ing safely in the outdoors before X-Boxes andNintendo kept them glued to a TV or compu-ter screen.
Dean Jates has started the DLJ 100% Hu-man Project, and in partnership with Um-bon’omhle Youth Development Organisa-tion, will be hosting the seconnd Gattie/Mar-ble competition in Bonteheuwel and Langa.
Jates said that this is the second time thata similar event is held.
“Last year we started with somethingsmall just for the Bonteheuwel area and itwas very successful,” he said.
“This year’s competition the battle will in-clude players from Langa, and we are hopingthat it will spread wider.
“The competitions will start this Saturdayat the Thusong Centre in Bonteheuwel, andthen alternate with a site in Noxolo Street,Langa, for the next three weeks.”
Jates, also an accomplished film maker,revealed that his plan for the children of thecommunity was to give them an insight intohow games like marbles, playing with a top,kennetjie, and klippetjies (five stones) can bepart of their learning experience.
“It’s time that they get away from those TVscreens and become active in games likethese, because they are learning about thelegacies and culture of their own communi-ties.
“These events will also be used as a show-case for some of the musical talents that wehave within the community so there will belots of entertainment during breaks in thecompetitions. We will also be filming.”
The Thusong Service Centre is on the cor-ner of Jakkalsvlei and Elder Streets in Bon-teheuwel and the activities start at 09.30.
Due to the nature of the competition beingan outdoor sport, the dates of the competiti-on can be affected by weather conditions. Ifthe weather is not favourable the events willbe pushed to the following weekends.
For more information about the event Ja-tes can be contacted on 074 658 5539 or [email protected].
Don’t lose marbles come play

Ideas were flowing andminds were working as stu-dents combined their skillsand participated in theHip2b2 iThink Challenge onThursday 26 July at DF Ma-lan High School.Approximately 490 stu-
dents gathered and set out touse their skills and win thechallenges of the day, whichincluded the Pronutro Cere-al Challenge,where theyhadto create a new flavoured-ce-real, as well as the Sciencechallenge.This year Hip2b2 part-
nered with Pronutro, whichstudents thought was a goodway to combine brains andcreativity.A group of first-time participants fromBellville
Technical High expressed their excitement: “Westand a good chance of winning. If all goes wellthere will be good opportunities for us,” saidGrade 11 student Shaquille Poyer. Another stu-dent, Lungisa Klaas commented on this saying:“We’re trying to make a super-exotic cereal.Something they’ve never tasted.”
The love for science and maths was evident asmanaging director CathrynTreasure spoke aboutthe importance of events of this nature.“This is another one of our touchpoints and we
want to inspire these students to pursue mathsand science. Today is so important because itgives them the chance to apply science in a morepractical way, away from the classroom,” shesaid.
There were different fla-vours and colours thrown in,all adding a touch of thegroups’ identities. BellvilleHigh School student, SharniGold said: “We made ourspurple and added chocolatechips, but with banana fla-vour, because our parentswould want to take a healthyapproach.”The Hip2b2 team all scat-
tered the floor in sciencecoats with the slogan “Thinkwhat you can be”. Treasuresays Hip2b2’s broadcast mes-sage is to encourage childrento pursue science and mathsand apply it in everyday life.“The opportunities are end-less,” she says. Winners ofthe day were Islami Collegeand Worcester Gymnasium.
Science boffs takeup cereal challenge
Students from Bellville Technical High School using their creativity andimagination to create the perfect cereal. Here are Darren Jentzel, Marcello Cornelius, Hope Kamineth and Ryan Macquena.
The immense excitement was tangibleamongst members of the Mission Teamconsisting of members from the EnonTabernacle Baptist Church and TeenChallenge at a meeting last week.TheMission Teammet for final discus-
sions on their mission trip to the UnitedStates of America.The team will be leaving on Thursday
2 August for their two-week long trip.Past Jacobus Nomdoe, of the church
and director of Teen Challenge South Af-rica said: “We are truly blessed beyondmeasure for the opportunity to under-take this trip. Each of us going on thistrip should view it as an opportunity tocreate an opportunity.”Nomdoe says the purpose of the trip is
to not only to partake in communitywork andministry, but also to expose themission team to new experiences. “Wewant to send themessage that this oppor-tunity is not only for a selected few, butwe looked at all age groups and back-grounds, especially theyouth, aswewantto expose them to possible study opportu-nities in America.”He explains theTeenChallenge “Be the
Tiger” drug awareness programme is thereason the group got invited.
Plans include to provide training toAmerican community workers and edu-cators in this programme.Teen Challenge, a drug rehabilitation

The Bonteheuwel Ladies Walking and Fit-ness club celebrated its fifth anniversary,and is still striding ahead.While they gathered at the Bonteheuwel
Community Hall recently to celebrate thismilestone, the founder and chairperson,SorayaSalie, recalledhow that journeybe-gan.She recalled that she had suffered from
bad health for a long time starting with anemergency hysterectomy due to cancerwhen she was 27.“It came back after a few years on my
ovaries and then stayed dormant for a fewyears. During 2005 a tumour was discov-ered on my brain and I had to have sur-gery, but could only put my trust in myCreator to guide the hands of the surgeons.Thank God it was a success, although theycould not remove everything.“Then in 2006 I developed a tumour on
my colonwhich continued coming back af-ter every surgery, in a short space of time.
This left my doctor baffled, so he decidedthat there was no more hope for me, andthis was very painful to accept.”She recalls that she was very disheart-
ened when she got home after this newsbut realised that God would have a mes-sage for her.“I opened my Quran at randomwith the
intention that God must guide me to averse that will uplift my spirit.“This is what I found: never give up
Hope of Allah’s soothing Mercy, Truly noone despairs ofAllah’s soothingMercy, ex-cept those who have no Faith (Q12:87)”Since then she has been going for her
scans every year and by God’s grace hasremained clear, but realised that her lifeneeded more purpose with the time thatshe has been given.“During 2007 I approached a dear friend
of my late mom, Shariefa Lagkar, to walkwith me as I was too afraid to walk alonein our area,” she said. “That was how itstarted.” Contact Salie on 021 694 1755, 084824 1615 or [email protected].

Literacy is growing in schools as an excit-ing competition gets into the final stages.
A total of 60 000 Grade 4 to 7 learners from168 schools have participated in the first levelof Growsmart, an exciting literacy competi-tion designed to support theWestern Cape Ed-ucation Department’s (WCED) strategy to im-prove literacy at primary school level.Some 28 schools, each with a team of three
learners, qualified for Level 2 of the competi-tion that takes place during this month.“Schools from the four different education
districts will be competing in Level 2 at SpineRoad School inMitchells Plain on 4 and 18 Au-gust for a sought-after place in the final,” ex-plains Jewel Harris, assistant regional man-ager at Growthpoint Properties and Grows-mart spokesperson.“The schools qualified following their par-
ticipation in the various Level 1 rounds heldfrom April through to June. There are fantas-tic prizes up for grabs: thewinning school willreceive improvements to their premises to thevalue ofR200 000 and thewinning learnerswilleach receive financial assistance worth R20000 towards their future education.”Harris added that the competition is about
so much more than literacy.“It’s a terrific confidence booster for the par-
ticipants, and it shows them what a hard-working and committed team can achieve to-gether. Growsmart has won the hearts andminds of learners, teachers and the communi-ty as a whole. It has certainly exceeded ourwildest expectations,” she saidSuccessfully launched in 2010,Growsmart is

View Primary. “Our students worked veryhard to win the prize last year. We used theprizemoney to buybooks to add to our library,build a computer centre for the kids, build aschool hall, add interactive whiteboards intothe classrooms, and construct a pre-schoolplaypark with a jungle gym. This really wenta long way to making life better for our learn-ers,” says Magda Esterhuizen, principal ofBeacon View Primary School in MitchellsPlain.Parents, families and communities are en-
couraged to come and support their childrenwhen they participate in Level 2.Schools participating in Level 2 include:

An out-of control house party in-spired by the cult movie Project Xand attended by about 1 000 youths,recently caused pandemonium in aquiet street in Northpine, Kraai-fontein.After a night of chaos and noise,
nearby residents were shocked andoutraged by this new youth fad, andfear that more parties of this kindare in the pipeline.The City of Cape Town, however,
has investigated the incident andwarned youngsters that they will
remain on high alert in case of an-other party in the area.Project X, a comedy film released
inMarch this year, is based ona sto-ry of three friends who plan to gainpopularity by throwing a huge par-ty.In the movie, word of the party
however spreads like wildfire andvery soon it escalates out of theircontrol when hundreds of party-goers fromaround the city arrive atthe house with hair-raising conse-quences.In Cape Town, this movement
very quickly gained a big following
with youths attempting to see whocan create the biggest house party,says Grant Twigg, chairman of theBergdal subcouncil and adds thatnaturally every by-law in the bookwas broken.The invitation which was circu-
lated by email and SMS reads as fol-lows: “Tonight will be epic night toremember. If your up for a ProjectX , .................., Northpine, Bracken-fell, is where youwant to be tonightbtwn 8 and 9.. Over enough parkingfor everyone..bring your friends,and their friends and their friendsfriends.somenigga’swithmorenig-
ga’s who know nigga’s. Bring ownXYZ and other stuff...keep the bc go-ing..so far so good!! ..its a night ofpartying and nontheless *beer*”.“According to our knowledge
news of this party spread across thecity very quickly and young peoplefrom all over arrived in hordes.They ended up partying in thestreet, jamming every single drive-way and blocking traffic. The parkin the street was also used, and eve-rywhere open cars were blaringloud music with youths drinkingand dancing. The next day hun-dreds of bottles were left strewn in
the streets and parks,” he says andadds that the parents of the youthswas out of town over that weekendand not aware of the party.Twigg is adamant that this type
of behaviour is unacceptable in aresidential suburb and last weektold TygerBurger that the city willpull out all the stops to ensure thatthis does not happen again.“I am constantly being updated
with new information of parties be-ing planned. If and when this hap-pens in our area again, we will ar-rest and lock them all up,” hewarned.

city improvement district will de-ploy additional cleansing teamsand private security officers withinthe VRCID, mainly along Voor-trekker and Durban Roads.A total of 100 jobs are createdwith
the launch of the VRCID. The day-time, night time and reserve guardsall received specialist training insecurity and cleansing.The VRCIDwill deploy sevenmo-
bile patrol vehicles and 20 security
officers, all clearly branded – sevendays aweek, 24 hours a day. Privatesecurity service provider Orbis Se-curity will also man a 24-hour, sev-en-days-a-week VRCID security op-erations control centre.The VRCID is part of theMayoral
Urban Regeneration Programme oftheCity of CapeTown, led byMayorPatricia de Lille.“It is very important to remem-
ber the VRCID, like all CIDs onlyprovides top up services, over andabove that which the city must sup-ply in terms of urban manage-ment,” said Bock. He said the CIDwas not there to take over the city’sservices.Via its cleansing service provid-
er, the VRCID appointed an addi-tional 15 street cleaners per day,who will sweep and clean thestreets and collect illegal dumping.The VRCID will also coordinatetheir cleansing operations with thecity so as to maximise all staff.In terms of the powers of arrest,
VRCID security officers, like mem-bers of the public, can execute a citi-
zen’s arrest.“If our security officers arrest a
person for theft as an example, pa-trol vehicleswill respond to the spe-cific incident and transport the of-fender to a police station forprocessing,” said Bock.He said this was a clear example
of how the VRCID will support thepolice and how theywished toworkwith them.Bock said he would foster rela-
tions with non-governmental or-ganisationsworkingwithin theVR-CID to address the issue of home-lessness as this goes hand in handwith security.“Homelessness is not a crime but
being homeless does not give anyperson the right to aggressively begor harassmembers of the public, lit-ter or urinate on the streets,” saidBock.“I make an urgent appeal to all
members of the public to please stopgiving to those who beg on thestreets, by giving cash, food or evenclothing – you are responsible forkeeping them on the streets,” he
said.. The 24-hour control room can
be contacted on 072 792 7168;. ContactCliff Crouse,VRCIDse-

DESIREÉ RORKE
After seven torturous years ofenduring the hellish conse-quences of drug abuse by bothher children, Susan Esterhuizenof Kraaifontein did the unthink-able.
Susan’s two childrenwere only 13and 15 when they started abusingdrugs, and at a very young ageweresent toNoupoort, the first of a seriesof rehabilitation centres. Theyspent 52 months there.“It was a good resting period for
me and I was at peace to know thatat least my children were in a safeplace,” she says.“But after they were released,
things got worse. I tried everythingI could to helpmy children but it allseemed in vain.”After yet another spate in rehab,
again both her children chosedrugs, and consequently moved outof her house to live with other fami-ly members.“At this point they told the world
that I didn’t care, and I didn’t wantthem any more. But this was far re-moved from the truth.“Children who abuse drugs are
out to manipulate their parents,and for a very long time I felt guilt-ridden and emotionally drained. Itried to analyse events to findwhere I went wrong as a parent. Ifelt ashamed of myself.”
As the years passed by both herchildren refused any help and con-tinued theirhabit at the cost of theirfamily life.“My son was involved with car
theft and was charged with the pos-session of a stolen vehicle and spentsix months in custody at GoodwoodPrison. I spent a lot of money to get
him off and save him from a seven-year prison term,” she says.Instead he received a sentence of
two years under house arrest andSusan hoped that he would finallyfind his way.But soon temptation again gave
way and with the help of the prisonwelfare system her son was placed
inDeNovo rehabilitation centre forseven weeks.“When he came out he looked so
good and I was overjoyed. At lastone of my children could be savedfrom the clutches of drugs,” shesays.But again her hopeswere dashed.“This timehewent and livedwith
his long-time girlfriend and theirtwo beautiful children, but verysoon she senthim tomeas she couldnot cope with his drug habits anymore.“Drug addictswill steal fromany-
one to satisfy their craving. Theybecome aggressive and violent andit does not matter what their lovedones do to try and help them it is allfor nothing,” she says.Meanwhile, her daughter also
moved back to her, and between thetwo children they sold almost eve-rything of value in her house.The pressure was mounting and
after a year, which Susan describesof one of the worst of her life, shewas finally forced to resign fromher employment, due to stress.“I could not face life any more, it
was all becoming toomuch forme,”she says.One morning when Susan real-
ised she did not even have moneyleft for food and was facing a realpossibility of losing her house, shedecided enough was enough.With the help of her local police
station she went to the Kuils River
court and applied for a domestic vi-olence interdict against both herchildren.A domestic violence interdict,
otherwise knownas a protection or-der, can be obtained in a magis-trate’s court, free of charge.The abuse mentioned above can
take the form of verbal, physical, fi-nancial or emotional or psychologi-cal abuse and must involve a mem-ber of the household.Once a party is in possession of
such an interdict the police can in-tervene and lock someone up incase of a domestic argument.“After I received it, I warned
them. But two months ago mydaughter again stole something ofmine and I laid a charge againsther. The police caught her withMandrax the next day and she wassent to Pollsmoor..”At the same time her son contin-
uedwithhis abuse andSusandecid-ed to lay a charge against him aswell and he too was sent to prison.“The day had arrived when the
heart of a mother was turned tostone. I realised that I had to dosomething to protectmyself, and re-fused to withdraw the chargesagainst them. My aim is to reachout to communities to face the fastgrowing Third World War – that ofdrug abuse.”Contact Susan to get involved

The 14-year-old boy’s frightenedeyes desperately look for comfort.He first notices the inviting
couches and the homely coffee tableonhis left and thena faint smile per-meates through his despair whenhe spots a grand bookshelf stuffedwith age-old knowledge on hisright.For a second the boywants to lose
himself in the books, but he is urgedto follow the group of people mull-ing about him.Everyone apart from his parents
gives him friendly and supportiveglances.He is told that the South African
Children’s Home was the first of itskind in the country, having beenstarted by Margaretha Möller in
1808.There is a growing feeling of hope
for the boy. Besides the warm glowof the staff, every time he staresthrough the window he is comfort-ed by the ever-present Table Moun-tain shepherding him.The group is takenona tour of the
whole facility, which includes adining room, a kitchen, bedroomsand studies. There is even a swim-ming pool, a soccer field and a cou-ple of big screen televisions!He is, however, told that thehome
values reading and sport considera-bly more than watching television.In another room, Sandra Collins,
talks to TygerBurger about thehome,which is registered to accom-modate 44 children between the ag-es of six and 18 years.She has been the manager for six
years, but has been involved withthe home for close to 30 years.“We assess and evaluate each
child individually and then placethem in a school in and aroundCape Town,” she explains.The misperception that children
live indefinitely in a children’shome must be changed, especiallysince the Child Care Act wasamended recently.“Children come here in accord-
ancewitha court order for a shorterperiod and in that time we willwork intensely with the family oforigin. Our focus falls on family re-unification,” continues Collins.If the family set-up isn’t function-
ing properly and the child isn’t ina safe environment then a socialworker will recommend to thecourts to temporarily remove the
child from the family’s care.“We have 12 staff memberswhich
includes a full-time social worker,a fundraiser, an admin person, sev-en child care workers and a chiefchild care worker. We are also veryfortunate to have a multi profes-sional team of volunteers consist-ing of a child psychiatrist, an educa-tional psychologist, occupationaltherapist, an educationalist and amedical doctor.” Meanwhile, some-thing remarkable happened at theend of the tour for the 14-year-oldboy.A visibly enchanted and content-
ed old man walked into the homewith two young children by hisside.As it turned out they were his
grandchildren, whom he wanted toshow where he himself grew up so
many years ago. The 14-year-oldboy blossoms. If anyone would liketo help the SA Children’s Homethey can contact them on021 423 1328 or go to www.sakinder-huis.org.
On 1 September Sanlam andTygerBurgerwill be organisinga “Women’s Day” fundraiserfor the home at Hillcrest inDurbanville.The festivemorn-ing will see various speakerssuch as Dr Wolfgang Riebe de-livering motivational talks. Alight lunch and a giant gluten-free chocolate cakewill alsobeon the menu. Bookings can bemade with Sanlam Client Con-tact Centre’s Melinda Preto-rius at 021 916 6191.
Home from home gives kids new self beliefAt the SA Children's Home, the children always come first. Outdoor activities are high up on the list of priorities for the children.

Wanneer ’n potensiële kampi-oen deur ’n agteros geklopword, is dit ’n skok. Maar asdit boonop twee spanne vandie Tygerbergstreek iswat tersprake is, dan sorg dit vir dra-ma.
Durbanville/Bellville, dievoorloper op die punteleer, is dieafgelope naweek in die WP sePremier-rugbyliga sy onoor-wonne status ontneem deur dieTygerberg-klub. Laasgenoemdewas tot voor hierdie wedstrydtweede van onder op die punte-lys in die A-afdeling en het af-skuiwingnadieB-afdeling indiegesig begin staar.Dit mag wees dat die Durbies
die besoekers onderskat het,maar twee geelkaarte, asook diefeit dat Durbanville nie toege-laat is om sy gebruiklike kon-struktiewe spel te lewer nie, het’n vasberade en doelgerigte Ty-gerberg in staat gestel om vyfkeer agter die tuisspan se doel-lyn te gaan draai (teenoor dieDurbies se vier drieë) en daar-mee ’n verrassende oorwinningvan 35-26 behaal.Die Floridapark-spanhet hier-
mee vir eers uit die relegasie-ge-vaarsone beweeg, maar kort ge-wis nog ’n oorwinning of tweeom sy verblyf in die A-afdelingte beveilig.Belhar, wat ’n paar weke laas
in aksie was, is 35-25 deur dieVictoriane geklop.In die B-afdeling, waar Noor-
delikes/Northlink-kollege enBellville in ’n wedloop gewikkelis vir bevordering na die hoër li-ga, het hierdie twee spanne albeiaan diewenkant geëindig –NNKmet ’n rekordtelling van 90-19teen Pniël Villagers, terwyl Bell-ville 34-28 met Goodwood afgere-ken het. Kuilsrivier het 22-20deurgeskuur teen Brackenfell,maarHands&Heart konHelder-berg, die voorloper op die punte-lys, nie in toomhou nie en ismet47-15 verslaan.Die komende Saterdag kry

Central will look to push Kraaifontein Citycloser to relegation from the Northern Sub-urbsLocal Football Association SuperLeaguewhen the teams meet at Symphony Park inBelhar on Sunday afternoon, kick-off at 14:00.Central come into the game with a win over
Kalksteenfontein on Saturday, but a three-match unbeaten streak prior to that victorydemonstrates that Giles Julies’ side are ingood nick as far as form is concerned.That is not something one can say about
Kraaifontein City, who look destined to fall
through the trapdoor and be relegated to thelower division.They are second last on the league stand-
ings, three points adrift of Wayside Wander-erswho are bottom on the logwith five points,and a further four from from 14th place occu-pied by United.Bellstar United, who looked in danger of be-
ing dragged into the relegation mire at onestage this season, have all but secured theirtop flight status for next season thanks to a16 point buffer to the danger zone.Belhar Spurs will look to get back to win-
ning ways when they host Trinitarians at
Symphony Park. kick-off at 15:30.The Erica Park side put together a string of
three straight wins from June into early Julythat lifted them out of the danger zone at thebottom of the table, but taking just one pointfrom their last two outings means they arestill verymuch in danger of being drawn backinto the bottom two.They narrowly lost away to log leaders Riv-
erside Rangers at Avonwood Park. Now theywill look to draw on the determination theyshowed in that game in order to overcomeTrinitarians, a team that is in good form.Trinitarians are placed fifth.
Relegation looms this weekend

It’s been a long and bumpy roadfor Renette Bloem but a dreamcome true to represent South Af-rica on the grandest stage of themall – the Paralympic Games inLondon.The blind 48-year-old from
Brackenfell believes she has a re-alistic chance tomake the final ofhermain and favourite event, the100m breaststroke.The Paralympic Games run
from 29 August to 9 September atthe same venues as the OlympicGames already in full swing.South Africa can only take five
men and five women swimmers.“I’ve always had a love for wa-
ter and started swimming atschool. I lost interest for a whileand did some serious road run-ning. I like the 10km to 21kmrange of races.“In 2007 I was back in the pool
and haven’t looked back since.”At the World Championships
in 2010 held in Holland, Bloemmade the finals of the 100mbreaststroke placing fourth,showing she can compete withthe best on the planet.Last year Turkey hosted the In-
ternational Blind Sport Federa-tion Championships where Blo-em won silver. She also beat Na-
talie du Toit earlier this year inDurban in the 100m breaststroke,winning Gold.“It’s been very tough, at 48 you
have tomanage your body and beaware not to over-train. Current-ly I practise six days a week fortwo to three hours a day. I wakeup at 04:00 to be in the pool by05:00.“Luckily the gym is basically
across the road for me. Some-times I go through to Stellen-bosch as they have a startingblock that is the same as we willuse in London.“I don’t believe I am a given
medallist, but if one is in a final,anything can happen. In 2010 I setthe South African record in the100 Breaststroke at 1.38.67. Myother races are the 50m and 100mfreestyle and 200m individualmedley.“This will be my last competi-
tive championships, so I will giveit my absolute best to end on ahigh. Although I am very focusedon the job at hand, I can’t wait toget homeafter theGamesand justlead a normal life.“Preparing for the Paralym-
pics takes over your whole life,”said Bloem.Few people know that Bloem is
family of the Olympic medallistRyk Neethling. Renette Bloem is hopeful of a medal at the Paralympic Games.

DeKuilen se verrassende oorwinningoor HS Tygerberg en J.G. Meiring seinterskole-sege oorPresident,was op-vallende kenmerke van die afgelopeSaterdag se o.19A-skolerugbywed-stryde in die WP.Die Kuile se veel beter samespel en
goeie gebruikmaking van die wind indie tweede helfte het hulle welver-diend met 24-19 met die Tiere laat af-reken. Maar bygesê, argeloosheid engebrekkige dissipline het die Paro-wiete die wedstryd gekos.J.G. Meiring het sy wendroogte
teen President gebreek danksy beterbeheer voorlangs en knap verdedi-ging. Naelskraap was die tuisspan seoorwinning van 11-8 gewis,maar nog-tans ’n sege wat President nie sybuurskool sal misgun nie. HS Bellvil-le het in die beginfase van sy wed-stryd teen Landbouskool Boland nietru gestaan vir die besoekers nie. DieLandbouers het egter geleidelik ’nwurggreep verkry en met 49-8 geseë-vier. Stellenberg het te veel skietgoedvir HS Swartland gehad en dié aan-skoulike wedstryd maklik met 31-19gewen. Durbanville het in ’n taaitweestryd met 19-18 met Brackenfellafgereken, maar die Durbies sal moeterken dat indien die Brakke oor ’nmeer betroubare stelskopper beskikhet, daar ’n ander wenspan sou ge-wees het.
