Plan to halt taxi chaosTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

TWO new taxi drop-off and pick-up baysmay be the solution to taxis stopping ille-gally to collect passengers in Pinelands.

Ward councillor Brian Watkyns says hehas received numerous complaints fromirate motorists.

“Besides the usual problem of taxis diso-beying the rules of the road, there are thosetaxis which are (operating) illegally inHoward Drive in the late afternoon,” saysWatkyns.

He adds while some taxis are operating le-gally in the Pinelands area, a large numberare operating either without the necessarypermission or outside their allocated routes.

Watkyns points out the most persistentcomplaints have come from residents in theDuncan Road, Howard and Ringwood drives,as well as from the Mutual station area.

In an attempt to try and relieve the issuessurrounding the illegal ranking council hasbeen looking at creating two drop-off andpick-up bays.

“We are negotiating with the taxi industryto stop the illegal ranking in Howard Driveand formally provide two taxi drop-off andpick-up bays opposite Caltex garage,” saysWatkyns.

According to him, the taxi unit is able tocarry out an operation in the area from timeto time to ensure the taxis operating in Pine-lands are doing so legally.

“It is difficult to deal with the general com-

plaints in a meaningful way with the limitedresources available,” says Watkyns.

He says he hopes the new allocated bayswill make a difference, but negotiations havebeen delayed due to unrelated taxi issues.

He says they are hoping to finalise negotia-tion early in the new year.

Residents are generally unaware there aretwo approved taxis routes in Pinelands link-ing Howard Centre with Mutual station, saysWatkyns.

Arepresentative of theLangaTaxiAssocia-tion was uncooperative when People’s Postphoned for comment.

When given the opportunity to commentin a telephonic interview, he declined.

John Berry, chairperson of the PinelandsCommunity Policing Forum (CPF), says he

has also received many complaints from resi-dents regarding the taxis inPinelands andde-spite negotiations with the industry theyhave not yet come to an agreement.

He adds they are in the process of puttingtogether a transport forum so that the issuecan be addressed.

Although no clear solution has yet beenfound, Berry says he has taken up the issuewith Watkynsandhopes they canaddress theproblem in the new year.

Chief Inspector Merle Lourens, mediaspokesperson for the City of Cape Town’sTraffic Services, says the taxi owners haveapproached traffic services in regard to mi-nor issues which they require addressing.

She adds that “Pinelands is one of the fewareas where taxi problems arise”.

LILLIAN AMOS

THEdust has yet to settle aroundallega-tions of corruption related to the demo-lition of the Athlone cooling towers.

At last week’s final council sitting for theyear, Cape Town mayor, Patricia de Lille,announced that their probe into the matterhas yet to be finalised. Earlier this year, theANC in the City of Cape Town claimedthere had been irregularities in the award-ing of the contract for the 2010 demolitionof the towers situated at the old Athlonepower station along the N2 highway. Thecontract, valued at R11 million, was award-ed to a global engineering firm, Aurecon.However, the ANC cried foul in August,

because Aurecon was also the company ap-pointed to carry out the feasibility studyand draft the tender document for the dem-olition.The party questioned what it claimed

was a lack of competitiveness in the City’ssupply chain management department.ANC Western Cape councillor, Bheki

Hadebe says: “In my view when a consult-ant was involved in the compiling of theScope of Works, that makes him as good asbeing involved in bid specification. There-fore, the awarding of this tender to Au-recon, I believe is in contrary with the ob-jectives of policies and standard conditionsof tender.”In her feedback to council on the matter

last Wednesday, De Lille said that the Cityhad received a report from a team of foren-sic auditors on Monday 22 October.“TheCity’s external attorneys and senior

counsel were briefed for an opinion on theway forward, which was provided on Fri-day 7 November,” De Lille says.“Guided by that opinion, the City has

written to Aurecon and we are consideringtheir response, and deciding on how to pro-ceed.”She added that the matter remains a

“work in progress”.The cooling towers were demolished on

22 August 2010 – six months after a rein-forcement ring collapsed and the iconiclandmark was declared a safety hazard.A few months later, the City announced

a proposal for a R5 billion mixed use devel-opment on the site, including housing andretail space.Meanwhile, Athlone residents say they

have no interest in the political squabblesaround the tender issue, but are insteadkeen to hear more about progress with theproposed development.“I don’t care about what arguments the

DA and the ANC has,” says Athlone resi-dent Mark Price.“They’re suppose to go up against each

other because they are rivals. All I careabout ismy community andwhat’s good forthe community.”Community leader Jade Plaatjies says

they’re looking to the future andwhat bene-fits the surrounding communities candrawfrom the proposed development.Plaaitjies adds that the job creation that

would accompany the development, once iteventually gets underway, will go a longway to solving many of the challenges likepoverty and crime that the communities ex-perience on a daily basis.

Fundstoo tightfor charity?DURING the festive season many peoplewant to assist those less fortunatethrough initiatives such as the SantaShoebox project or by donating food andclothing to various organisations.

People’s Post interns Luzuko Zini and Tar-ren-Lee Habelgaarn polled readers to hear ifthe tough economic times South Africans arecurrently experiencing is making it hard tobe charitable.

ALL THE TIME: Marcus Sebothoma says: “Igive cash and some of my clothes to peopleliving on the streets. Sometimes I even buytake­aways and give it to them.”

Photos: Luzuko Zini and Tarren­Lee Habelgaarn

CASH: Megan Hendricks believes in buyingthings and giving it those living on the streets,but also gives cash. “I give money when I haveand help where I can.”

GIVING HEART: Celeka Makalima says: “I dodonate because I feel those who are less fortu­nate deserve to get something as well duringthis time.”

LIVING TOGETHER: Howard Lilenstein says hedoes not donate, but has gone the extra mile.“We take people into our house and they livewith us.”

HELP: Andrea Goedeman volunteers at churchto help the less fortunate every Christmas, andcollects toys, food and blankets to give to oth­ers. She says there are always people who arein worse situations and therefore it’s best totry and help.

HELPING HAND: Aldrin Klaasin feels it is goodto help all year around. “We all feel the reces­sion and don’t have money, but it is importantto help where you can. It doesn’t always haveto be money.”

TOUGH: Lorenzo Stoffberg says it is thethought that counts and money isn’t the onlyway to help. “We are all taught from a youngage to show appreciation and give to peopleless fortunate during the festive season. Youcan take a neighbour’s children to the beachor park for the day. That is a way of giving andwill make someone else happy.“

Concerns overhouse break­insTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

A SPIKE in house break-ins in Clare-mont and Harfield Village areas hasresidents fearing for their safety.

A Claremont resident, whose identityis known to People’s Post but spoke oncondition of anonymity, says her househas been targeted twice in the last threemonths.

“House break-ins are becoming a com-mon occurrence in the area. Every weekyou hear of another house that has beenburgled, usually just after the home own-ers have left,” she says.

The resident adds most of the burgla-ries take place within short time framesand despite the houses having many se-curity features like electric gates andhigh walls. She adds: “If having these se-curity features do not even help, whatmore must we do to protect ourselves?”

Captain Angie Latchman, spokesper-son for the Claremont Cluster, says Sec-tor 1 has seen a noticeable increase inhouse break-ins in the Lynfrae and Har-field Village areas over the past month.

She says the police, together with theHarland Neighbourhood Watch, Prince-ton Security and ADT have jointlylaunched an intensive crime preventionprogramme.

This will be in the form of high visibili-ty patrols, stop-and-search operations,vehicle check points, foot patrols and en-gaging the community in safety talks andhints in the identified problematic areas.

“The police K9 Unit, Flying Squad andAir Wing Unit also assist in these opera-tions,” says Latchman.

She adds: “The most common items sto-

len are iPods, laptops, jewellery and cam-eras. At this stage there is no evidence tolink these house break-ins to a syndi-cate.”

Latchman adds Warrant Officer CollinGeneke, manager of Sector 1, appeals tothe community to immediately alert thepolice to any suspicious activities.

The police also urge the community tobe vigilant and ensure their homes areadequately secured.

With the holidays already here the po-lice, along with the Harlyn Neighbour-hood Watch and other associations, havebecome more concerned for the safety ofthe community and their property.

Alan Jackson, chairperson of theGreater Lynfrae Civic Association, says“in the spirit of giving and in the inter-ests of safety” a newly-elected committeemember of the Harlyn NeighbourhoodWatch, known as Ian K, will offer a freeself-defence course.

The introductory session will takeplace tomorrow (Tuesday 11 December)at 19:00 at Villagers. It is open to all com-munity members.

Residents are also advised not to leavekeys on a gate or lock and not to leavemail at the gate or in their letterboxes asthese are all indications that nobody ishome. Good lighting will enhance yoursecurity, says Latchman.

Keep emergency numbers at hand andclose all curtains after dark to prevent po-tential perpetrators from being able tosee inside your house.

Police also ask residents to be cautiousby not allowing anybody to access a secu-rity complex via the intercom system.

Geneke can be contacted on079 894 1555.

Cops nab two, seize stolen itemsCLAREMONT police caught burglarsand recovered stolen goods in a resi-dence in Wynberg.

Follow-up investigations in connectionwith a burglary at business premises onOldStanhope Road, in Claremont, helped policeto secure the arrest of two suspects on Tues-day.Captain Angie Latchman, spokesperson

of the Claremont Cluster, says: “Police rec-ognised two people on the video footage ob-tained from the scene of crime.”

She says police immediately launched anoperation aimed at arresting the perpetra-tors.Two suspects, aged 22 and 28 years, were

arrested near Standhope Bridge.Further investigations led police to a resi-

TVs and computers.The suspects were scheduled to appear in

Working for the Aids generationJUANITA WILLIAMS

ABAKERYandvegetable garden flourishin the backyard of Yabonga, an NGO onMain Road in Wynberg.

The bakery, which produces 1000 loaves aweek, was funded by the Austrian Develop-ment Agency (ADA) in 2011.

Yabonga director Ulpha Robertson says:“When the Austrians toured the Yabongacentres they asked the children what theywould like to eat, and the children requestedhamburgers. We couldn’t afford to servebread at the time and this gave them the ideato support a bakery.”

A second bakery is being built at theThandabantu Community Centre in Khay-elitsha. The bakery and food gardens at sup-port centres form part of the skills develop-ment projects for people living with HIV/Aids.

Robertson, who has a background in educa-tion, joined forces with German Ursel Barnesin 1998 originally to help solve the lack of edu-cation in the townships. “We wanted to intro-duce an education programme into the back-yard crèches, so we offered training to wom-en who were caring for children. Weconverted and equipped 12m containers asplay centres,” says Robertson. “Then we metour first HIV-positive baby at one of thecrèches. That changed everything.”

In 2000, Barnes and Robertson built a homefor Aids orphans in Khayelitsha. They soonrealised theywere receivingmoreabandonedbabies than orphans.

“Young mothers who tested HIV-positivedidn’t want people to know they had the dis-ease and believed they were going to die. Thisoften led to the abandonment of their babies.”

To prevent babies being abandoned, theyeducated and encouraged themothers to keep

their babies until they were too ill to cope.”A training programme – which includes

HIV education, personal development and in-come-generating skills – was developed.

Yabonga now has over 100 women workingas peer educators, child and youth counsel-lors or as team leaders in their owncommuni-ties. “Some of the women have risen to man-agement level and are studying for degreesin social work,” says Robertson.

Today this programme supports almost 550orphans and children affected by extremepoverty in their homes and Yabonga has 12HIV support centres located next to commu-nity clinics in the townships.

Community mothers are the foundation ofYabonga’s support system and 22 motherscare for schoolchildren five to 13 years. Thesecompassionate women are trained andequipped to cater for up to 30 children in theirhomes after school.

Child counsellors provide psycho-socialsupport and gap year students from the youthprogramme help the children with theirhomework. Afterschool support for orphansand vulnerable children and high schoolyouth affected by HIV are provided.

“Although funding is always a problem,”says Robertson, “most of the staff at Yabongaare so dedicated to making a difference in thelives ofHIV-affectedpeople andchildren, thatthey work for the most meagre salaries.”

Her dream is to create a herb garden on thevacant land adjoining Yabonga’s premises inWynberg. She is looking for someone withgardening experience to oversee the project.

Volunteers are important to Yabonga. “Weare always looking for crafts people who canteach the mothers to produce and marketgoods.”

Anyone wanting to help, can contactYabonga at (021) 761 2940 or email ul-pha@yabonga.com.

CSI action in PinelandsTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

PUPILS at Pinelands NorthPrimary get to play around acrime scenewithout the bloodand guts.

A group of Crime Scene Inves-tigators (CSI) – three studentsand one lecturer – fromUCT vis-ited the Grade 5 pupils of Pine-lands North Primary school toeducate and cultivate an inter-est in forensic science.Recently, 60 pupils were rotat-

ed between six crime scenes setup in the school hall and got thechance to play around with dif-ferent aspects which will helpfind the guilty person at a crimescene.“We hope to interest the chil-

dren from a young age to wantto get into the field of forensicscience,” says Dr Marise Heyns,a forensic scientist.Heyns and her group of foren-

sic scientists visit schools andhost theme birthday parties forwhich they create crime scenesand teach the children how toanalyse a crime scene.“Besides the fun aspect, every-

thing we do with the children isof educational value, too. For ex-ample, we teach them what hairconsists of andwhat role it playsat a crime scene,” she says.According to her, every sta-

tion has a learning objective andwhen science is made fun, chil-dren learn.“We want to excite children

about forensics and it is so thrill-ing to see their eyes light upwhen you show them a fingerprint.”She adds that educating and

informing the public about fo-rensics is very important.“We are also hoping to expand

our parties for adults, not justchildren, by hosting murdermystery parties,” says Heyns.Although she says the job is

not as glamorous as it is por-trayed on television, it is still a

very satisfying career.“In reality, you don’t get the

same person taking the samplesat the crime scene, analysing itand arresting the guy,” saysHeyns.At station one the children ob-

served a reconstructed crimescene and were taught how la-tent prints are lifted as well ashow evidence collected.Station two had them taking

their own fingerprints and alsopowdering their own latentprints. Bones can also play avery critical role at a crimescene and for that reason pupilswere taught how to differentiatebetween male and female pelvisbones and how to deduct a per-son’s height from the length oftheir femur.All the pupils enjoyed playing

aroundwith broken car lights atstation four, where they weregiven a glass puzzle which theyneeded to reconstruct in order toread a serial number to find outthe make of the car.In keeping with the work-

shop’s educational aspect, thepupils were excited to differenti-ate between human and otheranimal hair through a micro-scope at station five.The last station was a hands-

on fun station enjoyed by the pu-pils. They learned how a foot-print cast is made and tried topaint a footprint cast with thecorrect shoe.Kristi Jooste, a science teach-

er at the school, says she is al-ways looking for new and excit-ing ways for the children to ex-perience science. “CSI is a bigthing on TV and the childrenlike it. Workshops such as thesegive them the opportunity forpractical experience in real-lifescience,” she says.Jooste says the practical as-

pect of science in not exercisedas much at school and thereforethe workshop provides a greatopportunity tobehands-onwith-out the blood and guts.

BODY OF EVIDENCE: The pupils were taughtto identify the difference between animaland human bones.

Photos: Tarren­Lee Habelgaarn.GETTINGACLUE: TheGrade 5 learners of Pinelands North Primarywere taught all about forensic science.

FINGERS: Pupils had a lot of fun making fingerprints andmaking latent prints visible.

SPOT ON: The pupils got the opportunity to use micro­scopes to see the difference between animal and hu­man hair.

BONE COLLECTORS: They had to work in teams to findthe story behind the bones.

HARDWORK: The pupils all had a chance to investigatea staged crime scene.

MUSIC, wine and socialisingset the mood at the barrierdraw for the IntercontinentalVillage charity race draw.

The Barrier Draw for the firstGrade 1 event for the Cape siz-zling summer season at Kenil-worth Racecourse, recently tookplace at Avontuur Wine Estate,near Stellenbosch.The barrier draw for theAvont-

uur Estate Cape Fillies Guineas(Grade 1) horse race kicked-offWestern Province Racing’s Cor-porate Social Investment (CSI) in-itiative.At the draw the 16 runners in

the racewere pairedwith variouscommunities, charities and me-dia partners takingpart in the fes-tivities.Barrier draws are done to de-

termine which starting stall posi-tion each horse will have at thestart of a race. It is of great impor-tance as it is believed that wherea horse is drawn in a race cangreatly influence where they fin-ish in the race, which is whytrainers were excited when theydrew the single digit starting stallpositions.The draws are usually done

randomly by computer, but forcertain Grade 1 races, such as thecharity race, a manual draw iscreated with an event to in thebuild-up to the event.

Double trouble forcriminals in PinelandsTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

THE presence of two newLawEnforcementofficers inthe Pinelands area is wel-comed with the festive holi-days approaching.

There have been many com-plaints from residents aboutthe lack of visible policing bythe City’s Traffic Department,Law Enforcement and MetroPolice. Although all three op-erations of the safety and secu-rity portfolio work in the area,“the lack of resources limitsthe scope of their function-ing,” saysward councillor Bri-an Watkyns.Watkyns feels the appoint-

ment of these two officers tothe area will address the com-plaints. He says two officerswere previously allocated oncontract to the Pinelands areawith the expectation that thePinelands Special Rating Area

(PSRA) would employ themonce established.Two businesses in the area

undertook to provide the inter-im funding for the PSRA. Theestablishment of the PSRAtook longer than expected andwas recently put on hold.Nevertheless, Watkyns says

the two officers continued tooperate in the area for manymonths before applying forpermanent positions with theMyCiti buses.“The current officers are

funded by ward allocationfunds and it is my intention toprovide ward allocation fund-ing until at least June 2015,”says Watkyns.Officer Rafeeq Khan and Of-

ficer Nicole Williams are thenew officers who will be oper-ating in the neighbourhood.“Khan has been operating

under supervision for the pastmonth andWilliams joins himon the 12 December at which

stage they become fully opera-tional.”They will be carrying out all

Law Enforcement throughoutthe ward but will give extra at-tention to identified hotspots.On Thursday, Watkyns tookKhan and other Law Enforce-ment officers on a tour of thearea, pointing out areas of con-cern.With the holidays approach-

ing, Watkyns says havingthem in the areawill be anadd-ed comfort.“In addition to focusing on

upholding municipal bylaws,they will be an added presenceand therefore and added deter-rent to would-be criminals,”he says.“They will also work closely

with police and private securi-ty companies such as Pine-watch and will be able to callin additional support from col-leagues when required,”Watkyns adds.

New hope blooms at ChrysalisJUANITA WILLIAMS

“I WAS an angry boy before I came toChrysalis Academy,” saysWaneyMuller.

The 17-year-old is one of 166 graduates whocompleted the 12 Bravo course. After threemonths of intense training to become leaders,the young men received their awards.

At the ceremony, MEC for Social Develop-ment Albert Fritz congratulated them, say-ing: “There are big plans for these graduates;99% have been placed in internships and po-sitions. This course transforms youths at riskinto community leaders.”

Of the 166 so-called rough diamonds whostarted the course three months ago, 11 hailedfrom Kwazulu-Natal (KZN). They will returnto their communities as trained youth in-structors. The good news is that the provin-cial government of KZN has decided to set upa Youth Academy based on the Chrysalismodel, says Lucille Meyer, Chrysalis chief ex-ecutive officer.

Some of the graduates will be employed bythe Department of Community Service to pa-trol and keep the beaches safe, 12 others willstay at Chrysalis to gain practical work expe-rience, nine have been accepted for intern-ships at Places of Safety and about 60 havebeen accepted by the Northlink FET Collegeto study for the three-year diploma in a Safetyand Society Course in January 2013.

Fritz praised former graduates who areworking in Bonnytoun and with trial-await-ing prisoners.

Chrysalis students hail from Delft, Philip-pi, Nyanga, Gugulethu, Mitchell’s Plain, Ma-cassar and outlying areas. During the three-month course, these youths-at-risk wentthrough an intense four weeks of courses inwelding, electrical circuitry, sports coaching,firefighting, basic cookery and security andoffice administration.

This Academy is turning out first classyoung men – like Siphumzo Mnqutyana (21)from Philippi who was desperate to changehis life. He received an award for being themost improved person in office skills train-ing. “I loved the survival course – climbingto the top of Table Mountain in the rain,learning to rely on myself.”

When he goes back into the community, hewants to “teach youth to respect and loveeach other and I will join organisations so Ican share my knowledge with the communi-ty”. Mnqutyana has a passion for computersand office administration.

Waney Muller (17) from Mitchell’s Plainsays he is a changed man. “I was troubled, un-

disciplined and hanging out with the wrongfriends before I came to Chrysalis.’’

A pupil at Mitchell’s Plain Trade and Tech-nical School, he was skipping classes whena teacher suggested he apply for a course. “Ihad no confidence and didn’t care about mylife; I was an angry boy.”

He learned how to free the anger with trau-ma release therapy and in support groups. Healso learned a lot in the substance abuse ses-sions and says he appreciates learning discli-pline from “these wonderful people who lookafter you, provide clothes, shelter and food.We are all from different backgrounds – thiscourse has taught me to have mercy foryouth, not to go back to fighting and to move

in the right direction. The instructors do agreat job, they teach you to look inside your-self”.

Muller was awarded for being the most im-proved at addressing the class during histraining in fire fighting. “I was most sur-prised when they called out my name for anaward. We trained in fire fighting at the De-partment of Disaster Risk Management andFire Brigade Services.”

He is keen to train to become a sheet metalwelder.

Bradley Williams (21), of Strand, was re-ferred to Chrysalis by a rehabilitation centre.

“I wasn’t fit, so getting up at 4.30 for a runwas very tiring. Now I am so fit the instruc-tors have to chase me. I have learned how tolead, solve problems and manage conflict. Ihave learned to forgive myself and thinkabout the future.”

Williams will train as a junior instructorat Chrysalis – and intends to take his newskills back to the community via his church.

Mboneli Mnqasela (24) is from a high crimearea in Khayelitsha. His life fell apart whenthe family home burned to the ground andthey lost everything.

“I dreamed of passing Grade 12 and becom-ing a social worker, but I lost heart after thefire and was very unhappy.”

Karate training gave him hope. He prayedand visualised a better life and applied atChrysalis.

“I got lost walking to the Academy in Tokai,then I saw the baboons and the beauty andknew it was the right place for me.”

He wants to continue training as a firefighter.

“ I learned to respect nature during the sur-vival course; it is very peaceful in Tokai andI am grateful to have had the chance to un-leash my potential through the training,” hesays. “I call myself a leader now and willteach the younger ones at church.”

Mocke family continue to dominateFISHHOEKpaddler JasperMocke sound-ed an early warning when he narrowlyout-sprinted his older brother Dawid toclaim the iconic Peter Creese MemorialPaddle surfski race on Sunday.

With a gale force south-easterly wind blow-ing at over 40km/h, paddlers not only had toovercome their fellow competitors but alsoensure they survived the natural elements.Having only recently returned from a pro-

longed stint overseas, Mocke showed goodspeed and endurance to power to victoryahead of his regular Cape rivals. “It was a re-ally tough day, with such a strong wind blow-ing. I’m obviously super stoked with thewin,” says Mocke.“I got back in South Africa two and a half

weeks ago and then spent a couple of days inJeffreys Bay, but since I’ve been back in CapeTown I’ve been training hard and have beenfeeling good because – even though it’s beenintense – I’ve also been really relaxed whichhas meant I’ve been able to focus purely onpaddling without any distractions.”The race was the first of three events mak-

ing up the inaugural Fish Hoek Surfski Festi-val – the highlight of which is the SurfskiWorld Series on Sunday 16 December.Mocke added the World Series and Cape

Point Challenge on Sunday 22 December willbe a completely different prospect.“Today’s win is obviously not the be all and

end all, with the next two weeks being themain focus. There will definitely be more

guys coming through for the next two races,but I would have rather had a good one todaythan not have (had it at all).”Conditions meant a patient approach was

required by all as a slow early pace on thefirst leg into the toughheadwindwas setwithno one prepared to work too hard early on.In the women’s race Nikki Mocke, wife of

Dawid, powered home to a comfortable win,finishing five minutes ahead of her nearestrival. She, too,will take goodmomentum intothe rest of the festival.Kim van Gysen and Bianca Beavette

claimed the remaining two spots on the podi-um, while Dominic Notten and Kirsten Flan-agan claimed the junior boys and girls races,respectively.With the focus for many of the world’s best

open ocean paddlers now shifting to nextweekend the Mocke brother knows all toowell the shift in gear will be required. “Thestandard down here in the Cape is always re-ally high, but to have the best guys fromaround the country and the world coming isreally exciting,” said Mocke.“Today’s style of racing was very different

to the next two weeks. This week’s race wasmore of a head to head shoot-out, whereaswith next week being a longer race, tacticsmay come into play. The Cape Point Chal-lenge is a very different race and is all aboutconserving energy.”More information about the Cape Point

Challenge can be found at www.capepointch-allenge.com.

KCA and Province join forcesLIAM MOSES

THEKonkanCricketAssociation (KCA) are setto officially affiliate to the Western ProvinceCricket Association (WPCA).This after ensuring their annual tourna-

ment, the Wembley Super Eight Cricket Festi-val, is fully compliant to the rules of theWPCA.The agreement between the two bodies was

announced at the launch of the 2013 tourna-ment on Tuesday 4 December. It will be playedearly next year.Elias Parker, deputy president of the KCA,

says the document signed by the two associa-tions will allow for a formal application to jointhe WPCA after the 2013 tournament. “We de-cided to sign the document because the WPCAoffered their help,” says Parker.“We are not peoplewho are involved in crick-

et daily. WPCA has a large pool of resourceswhich can be utilised to achieve what we aretrying to do.“With the help of WP we can present the peo-

ple with a better and well-organised tourna-ment. For now we want to focus on the tourna-ment and I think after the 2013 tournament wewill get it done.”WPCA supplied the umpires for this year’s

instalment, and also provided each of the par-ticipating eight teams with two players from

their development team.The annual tournament was first hosted in

2010 and has been held every year since. Thefirst tournament was organised by a group offriends, who subsequently formalised them-selves as the KCA.The organisation was named after a region

in India,where the initial organisershave theirancestral home. The tourney aims to helpyoung Indian players identify with their cul-ture. “It’s important for them to know theiridentity and where they come from. We alsothought we could do something to provide ouryouth with an alternative form of recreation,”he says.“Through the medium of cricket a lot of the

youths could get involved to strengthen theircultural understanding and contribute to thedevelopment of cricket. We also want to takesome of the youngsters off of the streetsthrough the game of cricket.”The eight teams who take part in the tourna-

ment have also been named after towns in theKonkan region and comprise players with an-cestral links to the towns. But Parker adds anyplayers of race or ancestry can take part in thetournament if selected by the coaches.The tournament will take at the Johnson

Road Sports Complex in Rylands on Sunday 3and Sunday 10 February.

Bam bounces to the topLIAM MOSES

THE coach of the South African blindcricket team has been appointed to theWorld Blind Cricket Council (WBCC).

ArmandBam, also themanager of wellnessand independence at the League of Friends ofthe Blind (Lofob) in Grassy Park, was electedas technical director and director of Africandevelopment after accepting nomination.The WBCCmet in Bangalore late last month.“It is a great honour and privilege to be ap-

pointed as the technical director to the WB-CC,” says Bam.“I have been involved with international

blind cricket since 2007 and the trust showedby the international community, to direct thetechnical affairs of the organisation, is trulyspecial.”Bam is biokineticist and holds a masters

degree in disability studies. He is currentlyin India where the SA squad are competingagainst nine other nations in the inauguralBlind Cricket T20 World Cup.Three other South Africans were elected to

the body.AdvocateAlanSmallwas elected as the sec-

ond vice president, while JaceNair and advo-cate Dr Praveena Sukraj-Ely became execu-tive committee members.Bam says his new role will not change his

position with the national team and he willwork mostly with the laws of the game.“The technical director has the responsi-

bility of ensuring that blind cricket laws areupdated and maintained,” he says.“There are a number of areas of the game

that has advanced significantly in the pastfew years and certain laws need to be re-viewed, tested and possibly implemented.Myjob will be to ensure that this happens in anefficient and coordinated manner.”He adds the new role will also be a benefit

to national blind cricket, as the position willgive him “greater insight into internationalaffairs”.Lofob has been at the forefront of South Af-

rican blind cricket development in recentyears, as sport and recreation forms an inte-gral part of the organisation’s independencedevelopment programme.The Lofob Blind Cricket Club produced

three players in the current national squadcompeting in India. Bam is the son of PhilipBam, the organisation’s executive director.

way of introducing children from some ofour emerging communities to cricket,” says

Bing.“It has also given us the platform to iden-

tify talent, wheremore than 40 players havegone on to play provincial cricket at schoollevel.”Calypso is a unique and fun adaptation of

the conventional game. Employing most ofthe rules of cricket, it is played on the beachwith two teams of ten players each and in-cludes both boys and girls.Anyone interested in the programme,
