This latest incident saw three people being arrested, that included two sisters. The City has stated that these kind of ar- rests have more than quadrupled in recent years. Milnerton sector police spokesperson, Warrant-officer Daphne O’Reilly has admit- ted that, similar to other areas, drugs are a big problem in Table View and Milnerton. Table View police commander, Col Dirk Vosloo, agrees when he says that drug abuse is a growing concern. “My deduction is made according to the fact that most suspects arrested were in pos- session of small quantities, which suggests that they may be users,” he says. The chairperson of the Table View com- munity police forum, Andrew Brace, argues that there will always be drug dealers as long as there is a demand from users. The demand for mandrax, a drug used mainly by lower income groups, has led to suspected drug dealers occupying flats in the affluent West Beach suburb. Some good detective work by the Crime In- telligence Division and the Hawks led to the West Beach arrest last week Wednesday. Provincial police spokesperson, Lt Col An- drè Traut, elaborates: “A crime intelligence- driven operation resulted in the arrest of three suspects for being in possession of 70 000 mandrax tablets as well as a substan- tial amount of cash to the tune of R700 000 – possibly generated by means of their drug trade. The mandrax tablets are estimated to have a street value of R2.8 million.” The majority of the drugs were found hid- den in a ceiling in the flat in Radar Road. The two sisters, aged 50 and 31, are due to make a court appearance in Cape Town once they have been charged. Provincial police commissioner, Lt Gen Arno Lamoer said he is pleased with the outcome of the operation and congratulated the officers concerned for their efforts. Last month the City revealed that after making 1000 drug-realted arrests, around 28 000 units of mandrax, tik and marijuana have been confiscated since January. Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, JP Smith, says: “That is an im- pressive improvement over the 380 a year we used to get. We’re about six or seven times more efficient on my watch. While we ag- gressively tackle supply on the one side, we’re doing about five times more arrests than any other city in South Africa.” Brace also sent out a warning to the public that a “flesh-eating drug”, originally from Russia and slowly spreading through the world, might already have hit the shores of South Africa. This cheap heroin substitute is commonly referred to as “krokodil”. This heinous drug causes sores, tissue damage and a rough, scale-like appearance on the skin. According to reports the acidity of the che- micals causes the body’s fat and skin to “burn off and die”. O’Reilly concludes sternly: “The police will continue a zero tolerance towards any form of drug-dealing and drug abuse.” An unexpected surprise waited for Parklands resident, Mariaan Vorster, when she went to Rietvlei Nature Reserve recently. A majestic rainbow was waiting for her to photograph it in all it’s glory. It almost makes the cold, wet weather worth it! PHOTO: MARIAAN VORSTER Searching for that pot of gold

Wat gaan jy op Mandeladag doen? Ty-gerBurger het ’n paar mense in ’nwinkelsentrum in Bellville voorge-
keer om te hoor of hulle 67 minute diensgaan lewer op 18 Julie en indien wel, waar.Noveen Rowan van Belhar sê sy werk vir
’n grootmaatskappy inObservatory enhullehele kantoor gaandeelneemaan ’n toebrood-jieprojek. Die personeel gaan eers vir 67 mi-nute lank broodjies smeer en gaan dit danby verskillende organisasies aflewer.Haar dogter, Samantha, wat ook in Belhar
woon, is ’n vrywilliger by die Rooikruis-kin-derhospitaal en sy sê sy gaan, soos elke an-der dag, met die kinders in die hospitaalspeel. “Daar sal waarskynlik heelwat pro-jekte by die hospitaal self wees en ek sal helpwaar ek kan,” sê sy.Mthandazo Sakathi van Mandalay naby
Khayelitsha, sê vir hom is dit elke dag Man-deladag omdat hy sy ou klere en kos vir eni-giemand sal gee wat dit nodig het. “Maar asekVrydag tyd kry, sal ek iets spesiaals doen.Ek weet nog nie wat nie.”Babalwa Qaba, Chulumanco Bongco en

ring communities and owner Deborah Boy-es is nowcurrently running the charity shopfrom a garage.TygerBurger reported in May that the or-

But luc-kily, the crisis was averted when she madea temporary arrangementwhich sees the or-ganisation continuing to feed 200 destitutepeople and 13 needy families.Boyes extends a message of thanks to
Wishbones, a company that donated 250 Fit-Flops forher to give toneedy children inPhi-ladelphia.“Wehaddecided to go toPhiladelphiawith
the shoes as the community there are also
really battling, andwe send food once aweekto help out the families there.” She says theywere warmly received and the Philadelphiapolice were there to help out, serving soupand macaroni to the needy residents andtheir children.“It was a true blessing for us to have spent
the daywith these folk,” says Debbie “Therewas a lot of lip-licking and at the end I gota ‘Dankie Debbie dit was baie lekker’ sungat me in a chorus of voices. This is what gi-ving is all about, and this is the blessing thatI take from it.”V For more information call Boyes on 076 655 5918.

W hen the Dunoon parents of aneight-year-old boy reported theirson as missing to Milnerton police,
their world collapsed when they heard thenews. They had been aware of a pedestrianaccident on theN7 the afternoon before, buthad had no idea the victim was their son.
The boy was apparently trying to crossthe busy road at about 16:00 when a truckdrove over him. He was treated by ER24 pa-ramedics and rushed to Red Cross Child-ren’s Hospital, where he succumbed to hisinjuries.
According to local police spokesperson,W/O Daphne O’Reilly, no-one on the scenecould identify the boy, so the parents couldnot be informed of his death.
Werner Vermaak, ER24 spokesperson,says one of their paramedics was on herway to assist a man who had fallen througha roof in Killarney Gardens.
Reflected in her rearviw mirror, she sawthe boy being hit by the truck as he crossed
the N7 outbound road.Vermaak says that she immediately stop-
ped and reversed to render assistance.She immediately called for backupandan
ambulance.“Upon assessment she found that he was
barely breathing and showed very weak vi-tal signs. While paramedics were trying tostabilise the boy, his condition rapidly dete-riorated and he went into cardiac arrest.The paramedics initiated CPR and mana-ged to regain a pulse a few minutes later.The boywas rushed off to hospital in a criti-cal condition,” he said.
Hospital communications officer, Angeli-que Jordaan confirmed that the boy passedaway shortly after being admitted.
O’Reilly continues: “It is not uncommonfor young children to play along the N7.
There aremany gaps in the walls and fen-ces between Dunoon and the N7.”
But this is no excuse for a hit-and-run col-lision.
“Parents must tell their children aboutthe dangers of such a road and should at alltimes know where their young ones are,”
she says, before adding that thankfully suchtragic accidents happen only occasionally.
The parents of the boy went to the policestation the following day. After hearing thenews theywere taken to thehospital andpo-sitively identified the boy.
O’Reilly says there were quite a few peo-ple whowitnessed the accident and that thedriver of the truck was driving within thespeed limit.
“As with all incidents of this nature, a ca-se of culpable homicide is being investiga-ted against the driver,” she says.
A regular commuter along the road whowishes to remain anonymous ventured anopinion: “Almost every day someone triesto run over the N7 next to Dunoon. Someti-mes it happens at dawn and it’s almost ami-racle to avoid the fuzzy shape crossing theroad.
“Something must be done, whether it’s araised pedestrian crossing or better wallsseperating the township and the road. Thisis definitely not the last time a pedestrianwill be killed on the N7 next to Dunoon. I’msurprised it doesn’t happen more often.”
The monthly Melkbosstrand police sectormeeting and neighbourhood watch mee-ting will be taking place on 23 July 18:30in the local police’s lecture room.
All are welcome and encouraged to at-tend.V For more information contact Nicky Versfeld [email protected] or on 082 469 2718.

A green technology hub is on the cards forthe people of Atlantis. The City of CapeTown’s specialised land disposal manage-ment systemwas recently showcased in thearea.This system, which includes a rapid ap-
plication and adjudication process whenselling or leasing City-owned property, wasapproved by Council at the end of 2012. Asa result, the 68 ha-plan for a green technolo-gy hub in Atlantis has been initiated. Lastweek Tuesday executive deputymayor, IanNeilson, and Gestamp Renewable Indus-tries (GRI) signed a ceremonial land pur-chase agreement. TheCity sold 7.8 ha of thissite to Red Planet Horizon Trading, ownedbyGestampWindSteel SouthAfrica, toma-nufacture wind towers. The sales agree-ment was reached on 10 March this year.
Construction has already commenced onthe site and it is expected to be completed,in record-time, in October this year. GRIWind Steel South Africa plans to generatemore than 200 jobs – of which 150 to 180 em-ployees will be from Atlantis and surroun-ding areas.“We are calling on our partnersin the green technology sector to considerinvesting in Atlantis so that we can makeprogress possible together,”says Nielson.“The City foresees that this 68 ha-propertywill be transformed into a green technologymanufacturing cluster. A development fa-cilitation team has been established to fast-track investments and to assist potential in-vestors. In Atlantis, one out of two peopleare unemployed. We have to step up our ef-forts to enable job creation through increa-sed direct investment.”

Upon hearing the word “mixology,”the image of Getafix the druid, met-hodically adding ingredients to his
cauldron, immediately pops into one’shead.Just like the beloved Asterix character
is famous forhismagicpotion,BrentPerre-more is famous for his cocktails to add anextraordinary zing in your step.He recently wowed the judges in a natio-
nalmixology contest andwill nowhave thechance to represent South Africa in Scot-land for the finals. TheDiageo Reserve bar-tender competition is widely regarded asthe biggest mixologists’ competition in theworld.Brent’s mother and Phoenix resident,
Esther Perremore, is as proud as a parentcould be: “An ordinary barman job has be-come an art form. Children should learnthat even if they are a street sweeper thenthey should be the best street sweeper theycan be!”Brent currently works as cocktail maes-
tro at the Orphanage Cocktail Emporiumin the City Bowl. This will be the secondtime he represents his country, the first be-ing in Rio de Janeiro in 2012.“I like trying new cocktails all the time,”
says Brent. “Sometimes the ideas come tome in the strangest of times. In 2012 I drea-med about a cocktail that won the nationalfinals! It was a really strange concoctionwith gin, dry vermouth, a red onion andthyme colis, and a bacon cream foam ontop, served with crispy bacon.”The drink that will now see him mixing
it up with men in kilts is called the Gift ofPersia (smoked in a decanter, served in achilled glass, and consisting of Ron Zacapa,dry Vermouth, date syrup, naartjie andcardamom).What sets Brent apart from his peers is
his food technology experience, since infu-sing food or fruit into cocktails is just asimportant as the drink itself. “People cancall me a mixologist, but I prefer the termcraft bartender, because it is an age-oldcraft that is gainingpopularity oncemore.”Even though Brent likes experimenting
with new flavours, his “old favourite” is aNegroni- an Italian cocktail invented in theearly twentieth century inFlorence. It’s ba-sically sweet red vermouth, Campari andgin served on the rockswith a twist of oran-ge.His least favourite is the “nothing-more-
than-a-slush-puppy” strawberry daiquiri.When asked what advice he has for yo-
ungsters who dream of becoming craft bar-tenders, he says: “Iwork four 15 hour shiftsa week, so it is not an easy job! There area lot of rewards though. It is a viable careeroption. People look at bartending as just aninterim job, but no-one really thought itcould be an actual career. A wonderful ca-reer!”
Craft bartender and cocktail genius BrentPerremore will represent South Africa in amixology contest in Scotland this year.
The Parklands Neighbourhood Watch(PNW) saga is nearing its conclusion af-ter Table View station commander, Col
Dirk Vosloo pledged his support.In a letter addressed to PNW’s BjornHarri-
son Sagar, Vosloo wrote: “Based on corres-pondence from the Department of Communi-ty Safety, I have decided to embark on a wor-king relationship with the PNW as anorganisation and structure in the fightagainst crime in the Table View precinct.“I have enjoyed a good working relations-
hip with the Table View NeighbourhoodWatch (TVNW) in the past and hope that thisone can be the same.“There should be no competition between
TNHW and PNW. We all have one aim inmind and that is to make Table View a betterand safer place.”
Burying the hatchetSagar responded: “Weare pleased to be offi-
cially recognised by Table View police andhope to assist wherever possible and partici-pate fully as a watch in all aspects.”Vosloo reckons that, in the case of com-
plaints against the conduct ofPNWmembers,Sagar should investigate and take necessaryaction to stop any recurrences.Vosloo also asked for a full data base of all
the names and addresses of registered mem-bers; a full data base of street committees; co-pies of security clearances and informationon how many members have radios at theirdisposal.
Clearing the airwaysRegarding the use of radios the other good
news that Sagar was pleased to announcewas that the PNW’s radio frequency hasbeen approved by the Independent Commu-nications Authority of South Africa.
“These are all very positive moves in thethe continuing growth of PNW,” Sagar addedconfidently.Meanwhile, PNW members recently hel-
ped recover the stolen vehicle of a TVNWmember, according to Sagar.
“The vehicle was reported stolen at theCheckers branch on SandownRoad and reco-vered by us a week later. It was spotted par-ked in a parking lot by an alert member onpatrol.“This shows what can come from commu-
nity cooperation and team work.”

Wonder of words Twolibrarians from Table ViewLibrary, accompanied bychildren’s writer WendyMaartens, recently visitedVaatjie school on the OldMamre to Darling Road,between Atlantis andMelkbosstrand. Theschool caters for 200learners, who were all inawe of their first author.Among the booksdonated was Maartens’Wonderlike Ware Dierstories. The group donatedbooks to the school sothat it can start its ownlibrary. Here are DalenaEls (Table View librarian),Wendy Maartens (writer)and Rene Williams (TableView librarian).
The new N7-Melkbosstrand interchangehas been opened for motorists since lastmonth.Randall Cable, the South African Natio-
nal Road Agency (Sanral) engineering ma-nager for road network operations, says:“Improving safety for our road users wasthe key driving force to get the N7 intersec-tion upgraded.”The newly completed interchange forms
part of phase 1 of the N7 upgrade,includingthe construction of a second carriagewayalong the Philadelphia intersection, as wellas a second interchange at the N7-Philadel-
phia (Atlantis South) intersection.The project is expected to be completed
on time by the end of the year andwillmakea major difference to safety on the roads.“Not only did the construction phase pro-
vides intensive job creation for the locals,this upgraded corridor now provides andenhances economic development to thenorthernparts of theWesternCapeandbey-ond,” says Cable.Phase 1 is the first of three phases which
entails the upgrading of the N7 to the natio-nal freeway standard, from theN7-Melkbos-strand intersection to Malmesbury.

KENNISGEWING VAN ’N VERGADERINGVAN DIE RAAD VAN DIE STAD KAAPSTAD
The Melkbosstrand Community Centre(MCC) is teaming up with various part-ners to upgrade the entrance to Melkbos-strand police station to mark MandelaDay this month. The intention is to get thelearners of Melkbosstrand involved to ul-timately make the project their own.
Three projects are in the pipeline, thefirst of which is to clean up the gardenarea, build a path and tidy up the stormwater drain. The second is to plant largetrees on both sides of the entrance andaround the edge of the car park.
The third project will require some visi-on as the car park will have a makeoverin terms of design, layout and develop-ment. The Department of Parks and Re-
creation, Blaauwberg Nature Conservati-on, The Provincial Roads Department, Ci-ty of Cape Town officials, MelkbosstrandFire Station, Melkbosstrand Care Centreand others have all agreed to get theirhands dirty on the day. But the MCC is loo-king for volunteers from the community,especially learners to also lend a hand.
Snacks and refreshments will be provi-ded and the working area will be cordonedoff and made safe. All participants shouldmeet at the police station at 09:00 and it’sexpected that all will be complete by 15:00.So come on and join in to help make thepolice station beautiful!V Contact the project leader at gordonbcudmo[email protected] to join the team.

Weens my omstandighede moesek en my gesin baie rondtrek.
Ek het drie kinders, onder-skeidelik 10, 12 en 17 jaar oud.Dit is reeds Codi (in gr.4) sesewende skool en sy het 100%in vier vakke gekry, Jordan(gr.7) se negende skool en hystaan tweede in sy klas, enNeillynn (gr.11) se elfde skoolen sy doen self nie sleg vir eenwat op ’n hoë standerd vanEngels na Afrikaans moesoorskakel, omdat daar nie plekwas in ’n Engelse skool nie.
Baie het vir my gesê dierondtrek sal die kinders seopvoeding benadeel. Ek ver-staan nie waarom nie, wantalle skole het dieselfde leer-planne. Al wat ons as ouersmoet doen, is om tyd af teknyp om ons kinders te helpmet skoolwerk.
Ons kan nie verwag onskinders moet konsentreer indie skool terwyl hulle hulbekommer oor ouers se proble-me tuis nie.
Soms weet ek nie waar dievolgende brood of vanaand sebord kos vandaan sal kom nie,maar dit is my probleem ennie my kinders s’n nie.
Al bekommernis wat ’n kindmoet hê, is om goed te presteerop skool om ’n beter toekomsvir homself te bou.
Ouers, daar is nog tyd. Neemjou posisie in as ouer.
Leer jou kind dat daar ’nverskil tussen ’n ouer en kindis.

Help kindersmet skoolwerk
Ons word daagliks gebombar-deer met nuus oor swakdienslewering, protes-optogteen vandalisme. ’n Mens kannie anders as om depressief teraak oor al die goed nie.
Daarom is dit vir my baieaangenaam om julle te vertel
Wêreldklasdiens ’nvoorbeeld vir almal
van die uitstekende diens watek ontvang het.
Ek bedryf ’n klein onderne-ming en het by die verbruikers-goedere-raad van Suid-Afrika ’nreeks strepieskodes aangekoop.Op een of ander manier het diegoed van my rekenaar verdwyn.Ek pleit skuldig, dit was allesmy fout.
Op moedverloor se vlaktestuur ek toe ’n e-pos aan dieraad en vra of dit moontlik isom die nommers weer aan testuur.
Ek het my reggemaak vir ’ngroot klomp rompslomp – ekmeen, dis mos maar hoe ditgaan in ons ou landjie, niewaar nie?
Groot was my verbasing toeek slegs 14 minute later ’npragtige bewoorde e-pos terugkry van Sue Rogers met dieverlore nommers en al.
Ek kan dit net beskryf aswêreldklas-kliëntediens. Ek kannie uitgepraat raak daaroor nie.
Hierdie vrou is werklik ’nvoorbeeld vir almal en ’naanwins vir haar werkgewers.
As my onderneming grootgenoeg was, het ek haar “ge-steel” en Kaap toe gebring.

Ek wil reageer op MichelleChandler se skrywe (“Solution:Disabled parking disc,” Tyger-Burger, 9 Julie).
Ek het 20 maande terug ’ngroot beroerte gehad wat myverlam het.
Die dokters het gesê ek salnie regkom nie.
Ek het almal verkeerd bewysen vandag loop ek, al is dit nienormaal nie.
Ek het ’n skyf wat ek elketwee jaar moet hernu engebruik die parkering virgestremdes.
Dan loop ek in die winkelsrond.
Ek kan nie normaal uit diekar klim of inklim nie en dit ishoekom ek nie gewone parkeer-plekke kan gebruik nie.
My kar se deur kan nieheeltemal oopmaak nie, wat mydan verhoed om in of uit teklim.
Moenie net aanneem almal isdieselfde nie.
Glo my, jy wil nie oorkomwat ek deur is nie. As jy ’nprobleem met sulke mense het,maak seker dat jy wel die regtemense aanvat.

Moenie aanneemalmal is dieselfde
Mens staan telkemale verstomoor die drif waarmee dieanti-doodstrafbrigade te veldetrek oor die (hoogs onwaar-skynlike) herinstelling daarvan(“I support the death penalty”,TygerBurger, 9 Julie).
Die houding is meestal datoortreders voor die voetdoodstraf moet kry.
Ons weet tog dat daar in dieou bedeling baie ernstig endeeglik besin was voordatbesluit is op die ergste. Selfstoe was daar baie gevalle vanveral verkragters wat weertoeslaan nadat tronkstrafuitgedien is.
Die vraag is of die debatenigsins van waarde is. Sou ditnie beter wees as die driftiges –aan beide kante – eerderdaardie energie sou gebruik omte gaan hand bysit om gepasteondersteuning aan die slagof-fers van verkragting en dienaasbestaandes van vermoordeste bied nie?
Terselfdertyd is dit sekerbroodnodig dat raad gegee wordoor doeltreffende uitkomste tenopsigte van die oortreders. Diehuidige stelsel van tronkstraf isduidelik nie die gewensteafskrikmiddel nie, veral as dieoortreder ’n bendeleier is watsy pad na vyfsterverblyf kanbewerkstellig.
Dit is ook duidelik, danksyprogramme soos Carte Blanche,hoe lekker diegene met genoeggeld ’n gerieflike bestaan in onstronke kan voer.

LEWENSKIEKIE
Maak dit diebeste 67 min.van jou jaarNelson Mandela het derduisende menseoor die wêreld heen aangeraak – nie netdeur sy voorbeeld, inspirasie en intensepersoonlike belangstelling in hul doen enlate nie, maar ook deur sy bystand in huldonker dae.
Oor die wêreld heen het mense ’nminuut van stilte vir hom gehandhaaf toedie nuus van sy heengaan rugbaar word.Selfs die belangrikste politieke vergade-rings en groot sportbyeenkomste is oralonderbreek om Madiba te huldig.
In Suid-Afrika het landsburgers urelank en kilometers in rye gestaan om hullaaste eerbetoon aan hom te bewys.
Seker die treffendste stukkie kommen-taar het gekom van die onbekende manwat ure lank sy beurt in die ry afgewagom sy laaste eer te betoon toe Madiba instaatsie gelê het. Hy’t gesê: “Ek gee nieom om vir 27 uur in ’n ry te staan nie,want hy het 27 jaar van sy lewe vir onsgegee sodat ons vry kan wees.”
En Vrydag 18 Julie kry alle Suid-Afri-kaners weer die geleentheid om nie vir 27uur nie, maar slegs 67 minute, uit te reikna mede-landsgenote in nood om sóMadiba se nagedagtenis te vier. Dit is ’nwonderlike geleentheid vir elke mens,organisasie en sake-onderneming om ’npositiewe verskil aan iemand anders selewe te maak.
Gryp dit aan met dieselfde geesdrif enpassie as wat Madiba openbaar het in systrewe om ons land ’n beter plek vir elkeinwoner te maak.
Maak dit die beste 67 minute van joujaar!
HOOFARTIKEL
SMSV It was shocking to see you turn the tragic death of an innocent child into a pleafor a library (TB, 25 June). The lack of alibrary did not kill that child, the great Capetonian pastime of jaywalking did.Rather call for better education on how tocross roads. Fine all parents who teachtheir children to run across the roads,which you see them do daily. Put up morespeed cameras for the escalating amountof speeding drivers. Some of us are sickof dicing with death every day. - Carol,Sanddrift
V Ek sal graag wil weet wat dink ander motoriste van mense wat motors op sypaadjies regmaak en wat die sypaadjies volstaan. Daar is ook dié wat in die pad staan,terwyl jy moet wag sodat een voertuigkan ry. Dan is daar vragmotors wat motoriste se sig versper. Hoekom word niksdaaraan gedoen nie? Hoekom werk sobaie mense van hul huis af? Daar is baiegeboue en persele wat leeg staan, wat hulkan huur. - Anoniem
V My work involves driving, so I listen tothe radio often. There are many topics onraising money for the poor, but not aboutcontraception. I am in the medical fieldand have noticed that welloff peoplehave children according to what they canafford. I am tired of the expectation offree health, schooling and housing. Thereality in this world is if you want it, youpay for it. Rape is the only answer I willaccept for an unplanned pregnancy. -Chris, Table View
V It’s a disgrace how the system fails vulnerable kids by turning them into vulnerable adults (Xoliswa Hendricks, TB, 2June). These children are also orphanedand abandoned by a system which is supposed to protect and uplift them, butwhich sets them up for failure. Yet hundreds of experienced social workersstruggle to find employment. It’s strange,as the need for their services is so monumental. How embarrassing! - Anonymous

A wet and rainy winter’s day in the Wine-lands was no deterrent at all for a group ofintrepid journos eager to taste their waythrough the area’s best wines. The group ac-cepted the challenge as a shorter version ofwhat the 50 participating teams can expectat this year’s Amazing Wine Race, to takeplace on Saturday 9 August.Starting off at Koelenhof Wine Cellar with
coffee andbubbly, the second stopwasworld-famousBeyerskloof for a tasting andvarietalidentification task, which already challen-ged some of palates! TygerBurger reporterDesirée Rorke literally had her tongue fum-bling around the three red wine cultivars.“It’s not so easy to distinguish between agood Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, espe-cially if you love both and have only 30 se-conds to do so!” she said. They also had therare delight of tasting Beyerskloof Diesel Pi-notage 2011, a highly sought-after vintagethat was sold out “save for one last bottle Un-cle Beyers had left in his private collection.He opened it with love and we, in the sametoken enjoyed itwithmuch love and appreci-ation,” Rorke describes with pleasure.Anura Vineyards spun their visit around
their ‘froggy’ theme and the wines werehighly rated by the expert tasters. “Apartfrom the fabulously beautiful variety of wi-nes we tasted here, I was also blown awaywith the outstanding cheeses available onthe farm, pairedwith thewines,” saysRorke.“I simply could not leave without stockingup.”Great Chardonnay, scrumptious snacks
and a daunting cork-counting at GlenCarlouEstate beautifully rounded off the action-
packed outing. “The viewsfrom the tasting room and di-ning room at this estate werebreathtaking - I was mesmeri-sed,” says Rorke. “The beautyof the Boland is timeless...”“Between the three of us in
our team, we over-countedwith 300. How was that possi-ble I thought afterward? Pos-sibly too much of a goodthing? Never!”
Pets with a storyAt Glen Carlou, the teams
also met up with local charityorganisation, Pets as Thera-py, who will be the beneficia-ries of this year’s race. Chair-man Dr Marieanna le Roux ofStellenbosch University, accompanied byone of their therapy dogs Juno, explained thework the organisation does. “Our dogs areused in various therapeutic activities suchas aiding children with reading where thechildren will read the story to the therapydog,” she said.Le Roux who wrote her doctoral thesis on
the influence the presence of pets have onchildren, said reading to the dog created asafe environment for the child with readingproblems. “Research has proven that an ani-mal can reduce anxiety levels in humans,”she said.A leisurely lunch and wine tasting at Eag-
levlei Estate ended off the day, with all theteams being given wine prizes to take home.“The hospitality we received at the folk at
Eaglevlei was a fitting finish to a delightfulday. Our team, consisting of TygerBurger,
Wine Times and Spit or Swal-low, came in second in a tightrace and were thrilled withthe wine we won. It was byfar themost fun I have had ina long time and, if this wasonly a sneak preview of the‘real thing’ coming up in Au-gust, I highly recommend itfor any spirited wine lover,”says Rorke.Responsible drinking and
driving was promoted by theuse of a bus used by the te-ams, kindly sponsored byGoodfellas.
Race takes place on 25 wineries around Stel-lenbosch and Paarl and pits the skills of te-ams of four against a range of wacky tasksdreamed up by the participating wineries.The timed tasks include wine pairings,
identifying certain wine varietals, a cellartreasure hunt andboules, to namea few. Theentry fee is R1800 per team of four, which in-cludesmorning coffee and a briefing session,the team kits, all the tastings and entertain-ment for the day, the prizes and the prize-gi-ving dinner. A percentage of the profits rai-sed will be donated to the local charity orga-nisation, Pets as Therapy. More informationabout the good work they do can be accessedat www.pat.org.za.V Teams can book their places by contacting Björnvan Oort at [email protected] or 021 9810216 during office hours.

For the second year in succession, WesternProvince beat the Blue Bulls 24-11 in theu-16 Coca-Cola Grant Khomo ‘unofficial’ fi-
nal rugby match. This year’s action took pla-ce at Tshwane University of Technology onThursday.
“We are all very excited with the win, butI have to say it has been a stressful twodays,” said WP manager, Frikkie Coetzer.“Our game against the Golden Lions wasperhaps the hardest game of the tournamentas they are physically strong and came at uswith no mercy. But we managed to beatthem. Today’s game was perhaps not asphysically challenging, but the Blue Bulls
play a good tactical game. We had to changeour game plan to introduce a combinationof both strength and tactics, which workedin our favour in the end.”
This win means that WP has completed aCoca-Cola Youth Rugby Week treble follo-wing the WP u-13’s successfully defendingtheir u-13 Coca-Cola Craven Week title lastweek. The u-18 Coca-Cola Academy Week isdrawing to a close in Worcester this week.
WP were the first to get on the score sheetas flyhalf Damian Willemse scored a try inthe 17th minute. Gianni Lombard convertedthe try, bringing the lead to the 2013 GrantKhomo title holders at 7-0.
WP wing Benjamin Momberg scored ano-ther try for his team two minutes later. Lom-bard converted and the score moved up anotch to 14-0.
The Blue Bulls entred the fray through apenalty from Ruan de Swardt,but at the bre-ak WP was in the lead 14-3.
It looked like the Blue Bulls were comingback into the game when WP conceded a pen-alty which Ruan De Swardt slotted to bringProvince’s lead down to 8 points.
But WP was tight on defense and counte-red well off the Blue Bulls’ kicks. Lombardand the Western Province backline wereslick and fluid in their play and they con-
stantly kept the ball in their possession,making it difficult for the Bulls to attack.The Western Province 8th man delivered
a try for his team in the 37th minute, therebyextending his team’s lead to 15 points, follo-wed by Lombard’s conversion.
Western Province continued to press onrelentlessly and were awarded with a try asJade Fortune dotted down.
Then, the match heated up as the Bulls’Gerald Lowe was sin-binned, and DamianWillemse of WP followed hot on his heels.The Bulls were finally awarded a try as LukeFortuin scored, with only one minute left onthe clock.

Kraaifontein het die tweede helfte van dieSuperliga-rugbyseisoen in die WP die af-gelope naweek goed ingelui met ’n oor-winning oor Young Peoples. Die klubrug-by-program kom eers die komende na-week weer gedeeltelik op dreef, maar in’n vervroegde Augustus-bepaling was dieKraaie Saterdag met 29-22 die meerderevan die Dal Josafat-span. Kraaifontein
het wankelrig begin en was met die draai-slag nog 5-12 agter. Vier verdere drieë indie tweede skof het sake egter in die tuis-span se guns beklink. Die volgende paarwedstryde (tuisspan eerste) vind eersko-mende Saterdag plaas: Helderberg t Bel-har, Brackenfell t Kraaifontein, Pniël Vil-lagers t Goodwood, Hands & Heart t SirLowrians. – (Sarel Burger)

Magnificent form displayed by Fran-cis Carthers and Bellville driverGunter Drotschie in the Sports and
GT and the Fine Car categories, was thehighlight of Saturday’s fifth round of theWingfield Motors Power Series at Killarney.
Carruthers performed beautifully, as hisJuno SS3 swiftly dealt with a Porsche thathad been strengthened by top Gautenger An-drew Culbert and Durban’s Sun Moodley,who is also the Big Foot Express category’ssponsor. Blaauwberg’s Craig Jarvis andMoodley finished second and third in thefirst race, with Jarvis (again), and Culbertfilling the second positions.
Despite not setting the quickest qualifyingtime, Drotshie was also in a destructivemood in the Charl Electrical Eng. Fine Carevents. His bulky Chev Commodore GS fi-nished well ahead of Eric van der Merwe(Porsche 944 turbo) and Jaco Lambert (VWFox) in the first race, with a Porsche powe-red Lourens Bester and Van der Merwe fil-ling these positions in the second.
The Mutlu Battery Classic Car categoryprovided a platform for another double vic-tory, this time for veteran Richard Quixley.But the Datsun 240Z driver was overshado-wed by Trevor Momberg’s V6 Ford Capri inboth races, with Vance Kearney (Ford CapriPerana) taking third in the first race.
The second Classic shootout was red flag-ged when Johan Swart’s VW Scirocco cras-
hed into the barrier wall at the exit of theEngen corner. Luckily, with the results jud-ged from their positions on the final comple-ted lap, Swart was awarded third place.Overall class victories went to Dave Alha-deff (B: Alfa), Herman de Kock (C: Ford Es-cort), and Jan-Willem de la Port (D: Chev Ca-nAm).
The quality of Masters V8 events easilycompensated for their lack of quantity asCraig Jarvis and Franco Donadio fought itout in the last two events. After sharing firstand second places, they were followed acrossthe line by Richard Schreuder in the firstand Paolo Cavalieri in the second.
The Makita Supercar events were possi-bly even closer, as Steve McCarthy was nomore than a hair’s breadth ahead of Nick Ad-
cock when the flag came out at the endof their first race. They switched positions
in the final, with Adcock having just enoughof an advantage to clinch the overall verdict.
The third places were claimed by Brad Wa-deley and Gareth Easom, who was also ad-judged the overall winner of the Silver class,despite starting from the back of the grid af-ter missing the qualifying sessions. TheBronze class went to Carl Nel.
Sean le Riche’s 1.7 litre Formula Renaultwas unchallenged in the single seater For-mula Libre events. He was followed by theB and C class winners, Rassie Erasmus (For-mula Ford Ray) and Stephen Schemel (For-mula Vee Rhema), in both races.
The sixth round of the Power Series is dueto be held at Killarney on August 9.
