MyCiti plans welcomedTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Claremont residents have embraced theidea that the MyCiti bus will also becoming to their area through the next
big roll-out of the service.Planned for Imam Harron Road, the ex-
pansion of the next phase, better known asthe Lansdowne/Wetton Corridor, will pro-vide residents from Khayelitsha to Philippi,Nyanga to Gugulethu, Mitchell’s Plain to
Hanover Park, Wynberg and Claremontwith a direct, scheduled public transportservice. Since it’s a big project with manycomplexities and huge infrastructure re-quirements, which require time to imple-ment, the bus service is only expected tostart in 2020 or 2021.This next phase seeks to link the metro-
south-eastern suburbs with significantstops in the southern suburbs, one of thembeing Claremont. Imam Harron Road is themost direct route to the Claremont public
transport interchange and train station.
KickstarterTheCity of Cape Town is drawing towards
the end of a public participation processabout the trunk routes for the plannedphase. One of these trunk routes is proposedto be ImamHaron Road between Chichesterin the east up to Stanhope in the west.The bus servicewill include dedicated bus
lanes and bus stops and protected right-turns for general traffic as well as non-mo-
torised transport.Residents say Imam Harron Road is not
well-developed yet, but it possess a lot of po-tential, so this initiative will help kick-startdevelopment as well as solve congestionproblems on that road.Jacques van Wyk, a resident who uses
ImamHarronRoad to get to the station, saysthis is a good opportunity for the area butalso an opportunity to have muchmore reli-able transport.V Continued on page 2

“We really can’t wait; this is a good thingthat will bring a better image of that roadin particular and Claremont as a whole.The area has a lot of potential and thiswill benefit a lot more people. So far itsounds promising and we are hopingthat everything will go according to plan.We have to try and minimise private caruse as this will help decrease conges-tion,” he says.
Alan Jackson, chairperson of theGreater Lynfrae Civic Association, saysthe roll-out is a good idea.
“This will mean there will be fewer ac-cess roads and fewer access roads mean
fewer vehicles that move up and downthe road. It will also bring much more re-liable transport. I think it’s a great thingand we are beginning to solve publictransport problems,” says Jackson.
Brett Herron, mayoral committeemember of transport, says the roll out inthat area will also improve safety.
“By reducing reliance on minibus tax-is this will improve safety, as well as pro-vide residents with an affordable and ef-ficient means of accessing local busi-nesses. It is also hoped that in the longrun this service will reduce general con-gestion,” says Herron.
City surveys homeless peopleASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
About 7383 homeless people are living inshelters and on the streets of the city, a
survey conducted by the City of Cape Townhas found.
In the first of its kind in South Africa, theCity completed a headcount of street peoplein the space of 10 days.
The survey was done in Claremont, Wyn-berg, Retreat, Woodstock, the city centre,foreshore, Bellville, Goodwood, Strandfon-tein, Parow, Sea Point, Portlands, TableView, Tafelsig, Mitchell’s Plain, Kuils Riv-ier, Lansdowne, Lentegeur, Muizenberg,Vredehoek, Oranjezicht and Milnerton. Ineach of these areas 50 or more homeless peo-ple were found.
The City’s social development and earlychildhood development directorate has re-vealed these findings. It is part of a researchproject that set out to determine the numberof street people in Cape Town, but also togain a better understanding of the phenome-non of homelessness.
Researcher Lynn Hendricks has present-ed a report on the survey. She said the rea-sons why the survey was done was to under-stand the phenomenon of homelessness, andto make recommendations for interventionstrategies and implementation plans withinthe City.
Hendricks explained how the survey wasdone and said that the City was clustered,using the Cape Town map book. Five teamswere allocated specific areas in Cape Town.
The five teams were made up of six perma-nent workers, four City work programmeworkers and four law enforcement officerseach.
“The staff were picked up in the morningfrom 02:00 and bravely weathered the coldand walked the streets from 04:00 to 11:30 aft-er a briefing at the office,” Hendricks said.
Teams walked and drove around their are-as and team leaders ensured that every areamarked in the map book was covered.
“The state of homelessness as we current-ly face it is different to what we observed justa few years ago,” Hendricks said.
She explained that homelessness was anever-growing problem. To understand thephenomenon it was important to look at dif-ferent aspects of the problem, includingcharacteristics of street people, pathways tohomelessness, the homeless culture, exitstrategies for homelessness and interven-
tions regarding homelessness.Suzette Little, mayoral committee mem-
ber for social development and early child-hood development, said the street peoplecount coincided with an investment of justunder R10m in the directorate’s street peo-ple programme.
“The budget for this programme hasgrown from R4.5m in 2013/14 to R7.8m in2014/15 to R9.7m in 2015/16 – an increase ofmore than 100%,” she said.
Little said the research team deliberatelyoperated in the early morning hours to makeit easier to distinguish between people whoslept on the street and so-called day strollers
or job seekers who made their way to eco-nomic hubs during daylight hours.
“They did not only focus on the obviousareas, like streets and bridges and buildingentrances, but also ventured into the moun-tains above Fish Hoek, for example, to checkfor people sleeping in these areas,” she said.
According to Little, the City has made tre-mendous strides in recent years in its effortsto address the complex problem of homeless-ness in a holistic way.
“It is not something that is unique to CapeTown, but I would like to think that we havecharted a good course in how we address it,”she said.
Little said the City had three objectives.The first was to help as many people as
possible who wanted to get off the streets.The second was preventative in nature –
to stop others from migrating to the streets.And the third objective was to sensitise thepublic through their give responsibly cam-paign.
“We cannot force people to accept our of-fers of assistance and there are those whoprefer to remain on the streets because itsaves them from taking responsibility fortheir lives, but we are determined to helpeach and every person who wants to helpthemselves,” Little said.
The team which took part in the City’s recent headcount of street people in Claremont, among other areas.
An increase in the number of animals killednear nature reserves have officials callingon motorists to drive more cautiously.
The City of Cape Town implores motor-ists not to speed after it received more re-ports of animal killings on roads near theCity’s nature reserves.
The City is now installing signs on themost dangerous roads to caution drivers.
The City’s environmental resource man-agement department teams have reportedthe most killings on Baden Powell Drive be-tween Muizenberg and Macassar, Strand-fontein Road between Baden Powell Driveand 5th Avenue, the N2, the M3 betweenTokai and Hospital Bend, Clarence Driveand Sir Lowry’s Pass.
Recently a number of animals have also
been killed on Ou Kaapse Weg. Especiallykelp gulls are killed on Baden Powell Drive.
“We appeal to motorists to work with usto protect Cape Town’s animal life by driv-ing carefully on roads close to nature re-serves,” says Johan van der Merwe, mayor-al committee member for energy, environ-mental and spatial planning.
“Many of the motorists are not aware thatthey are driving through these proclaimednature reserve areas, while at the sametime many of the animals are nocturnal, sothis makes it difficult for motorists to seethe animals at night when they unexpected-ly cross the roads. Motorists must adhereto speed restrictions, particularly at night.”V For more information on the nature reserves visitwww.capetown.gov.za/naturereserves.

‘Murdered sex workers deserve justice’NICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
About 30 sex workers were mur-dered in the last year, accord-
ing to statistics of the Sex WorkerEducation and Advocacy Task-force (Sweat).A third of these murders took
place in Cape Town, says Sweatspokesperson Lesego Tlhwale.These numbers were highlight-
ed last week as sex workers gath-ered to remember four womenfound dead in different parts of thecity.The group gathered in Oak Ave-
nue, Kenilworth, where a sexworker was found stabbed todeath; in front of the Loop Streetbackpackers inwhich a sexworkerwas found strangled and mutilat-ed; in Ravenscraig Road, Wood-stock, where another sex workerwas found beaten to death and inSite B, Khayelitsha, where a sexworker was assaulted so severelyshe died.
Sex workers and supporters hada moment of silence and lay flow-ers in memory of the murderedwomen at each site, Tlhwale says.“Often cases of violence against
sex workers go unnoticed andthere are no suspects found.“Sex workers need to be recog-
nisedashuman.Theydied inabru-tal way and no person deservesthat,” she says.Sexworkers experience violence
on a daily level, from a number ofsources, Tlhwale says.“Violence is rife. According to
our count, ten women have beenmurdered inCapeTownsinceJunelast year.“Cape Town is by far the worst,”
she says.
SlaughteredA sex worker who attended the
remembrance event, who does notwant to be identified, says she wastorn between anger and joy.“It made me happy to remember
thosewhowere killed, but itmakes
me angry that nothing is happen-ing and justice is being denied.They were slaughtered like chick-ens,” she says.“Everyone faces risks each day,
but it’s worse for us. Sex work iscriminalised so we can’t even go tothe police if something happens tous.“We feel unsafe while working
because we face police harass-ment, clients take advantage of usand we are often robbed.“No-one is looking after sex
workers and we have to work tomake money for our families.”The criminalisation of sex work
drives sex workers undergroundand increases stigma. It makes sexworkers vulnerable to humanrights violations and often violentdeath, Tlhwale believes.“The current law further creates
obstacles for sex workers to accessjustice and legal recourse, mean-ing many of their cases remain un-solved and murdered sex workersforgotten,” she says.
Flowers were laid to mark the place where the body of a murdered sexworker was found. Three other such murders were commemorated acrossCape Town last week.
Well-known floral artist and con-servationist Betty BowkerDwight passed away peacefullyduring Saturday night.At 90 years of age, she was very
frail the past few months as herheart has been failing for someyears.Rondebosch Common was her
passion.In 1976 she began to plan her
life’s work that would depict theCommon’s flora and fauna,monthby month.She gave permission for the
Friends of the Rondebosch Com-mon to create pretty and usefulcards which still give the Friendsvaluable income to help maintainthe work on the Common.In 2007 Dwight received the
Lifetime Achievement Award atthe Cape Times Vodacom Envi-ronmental Awards in recognitionof her dedication to the Ronde-bosch Common.Her great wish was to publish a
book of her portfolio of her paint-ings of the Common and, togetherwith the Friends, a beautiful bookwas created, Rondebosch Com-mon, which has also provided theFriends much-needed funds tocontinue maintenance work.She was thrilled that her book
was published and sent far andwide to families now living in theUnited Kingdom and the UnitedStates.According to the Friends,
Dwight always knew if a particu-lar species was to be found on the
Common and exactly where tofind it.She was an active member both
of theFriends and the liaison com-mittee for the Common until re-cent years. She never missed theSpring flower walks on the Com-mon either – hurrying, eager andsmiling, across to the Common asthe groups gathered for their Sun-day walks.The Friends say Dwight was a
caring member of her communi-ty, visiting the sick and lonely atSt Anthony’s, Arcadia and the Al-exandria Institute, as well asfriends andneighbours isolated athome. She was also an activemember of her church.Dwight was born on 15 October
1924.According to the Friends she
lived near Rondebosch Commonall her life.“Her work represents an ex-
traordinary journey in the life ofa woman following her childhoodpassion,” the Friends say.“We loved you so much, Betty,
and we will miss you. Go inpeace”.The next Spring flower walk on
23 August will be dedicated toDwight. Meet on the grassed areaat 11:15.

Celebrating women who stand tallTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Mayor Patricia de Lille has praised blindwomen for their strength, courage and
perseverance in refusing to be defined bychallenging situations they have beenthrough or that they face every day.De Lille addressed women from South Af-rican Blind Women in Action (SABWIA) atthe Cape Town Society of the Blind in SaltRiver on Thursday last week.
Empowering projectsDe Lille said at the event she chose to cele-brate Women’s Day with them as they werethe women who overcame adversity and re-fused to be victims. Instead, they took actionto empower themselves and set a shining ex-ample for everyone.“You remindme of the 20 000 women who,on 9 August 1956, made history when theymarched to the Union buildings to petitionagainst the divisive pass laws. Thosewomenmade a powerful statement that marked oneof the most significant turning points in thefight against apartheid.“Like those women, you have also takena stand. Despite the physical challenges youface everyday, youmakeadailydecisionnotto be victims of your circumstances. Instead,yourwill to succeed has led you to overcomeadversity, learn new skills and use your
time to serve people in need,” she said.SABWIA is an organisation that empow-ers blind women to live life to the fullest. Itruns entrepreneurial projects, focusing onknitting, weaving and craft work, as well asprogrammes that empower women by pro-viding social work services, placement ser-vices, computer literacy, office administra-tion and entrepreneurial training.Attending the event was Netty Coetzee(50), who said it was heart-warming.“We feel very excited that we are also re-membered. It makes us feel better that peo-ple around us notice that we are there andthey do things with us inmind. I’m so happyand very excited that we had to come togeth-er and celebrate aswomen because there area lot of challenges that we face,” she said.
DonationDeLille donatedR10 000 tohelp the organi-sation run its programmes, as well as vari-ous food items like canned foods, vegetables,rice and wool.Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of the Cape TownSociety of the Blind, said women lived in atimewhere theywere confrontedwith socialchallenges but they had to stand theirground.“Do things for yourself, equipyourself andmake magic happen. Don’t let anythingbring you down, you have done a lot foryourselves,” she said.

House burglariesare on the riseTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
House burglaries are on the rise in Pine-lands and the police are calling on resi-
dents to be more vigilant and not to give anyopportunity for a passerby to see what’shappening in their houses.
The police say they have received manyreports of break-ins in the area and they areworking tirelessly to make sure that theburglars are arrested.
Most break-ins have been reported to behappening between 10:00 and 15:00 whenmost residents are at work. A few break-inshave happened while the home ownerswere at home, leading to violent confronta-tions with burglars.
In a recent incident, a 22-year-old manwas left fighting for his life after he was hitin the face with a hammer by someone whowanted to rob the house. After he was hitthe robber stole his cellphone and laptop be-fore he fled.
The robbery, which happened not farfrom the Methodist church, took place inbroad daylight on Saturday last week. It leftresidents questioning their safety and thelevel of crime in the area.
Colonel Helena Mouton, Pinelands policestation spokesperson says: “The man is stillin hospital. No one has been arrested yetand a case of house robbery is still being in-vestigated.”
The police say they are working aroundthe clock and following up on all possibleleads.
“We have increased manpower and wehave more patrols in the times we have no-ticed burglaries are happening a lot. We are
not leaving anything to chance as we are onthe lookout all the time to make sure thatthe people who are breaking into the housesin the area are arrested,” Mouton says.
Do’s and don’tsShe adds that residents must not leave an
opportunity for break-ins to happen.“Many times when people are at home
they leave the door wide open or the burglardoor unlocked when they are outside wherethey can’t see what’s happening to the otherdoor. Gates and doors must be locked nomatter what time it is. Leaving everythingwide open gives a passerby a chance to seewhat’s happening in the house and they willbe able to come in and steal. Don’t give thesepeople an opportunity to steal from you,”says Mouton.
Residents are also urged not to confrontthe thieves if they find them in the house.
“Should you come home and see thatthere is something out of the ordinary, don’thesitate to call the police. When you see thatthe window you left closed is now open orsomething has moved and it’s worrying,call the police and we will go into the housewith you,” says Mouton.
Gates and doorsmust be locked nomatter what time itis... Don’t give theman opportunity tosteal from you.

Participating in sports is not onlygood for health, it has also beenproven to bring mental benefits aswell as affect behaviour in class.For schoolchildren especially,
running around at break time ordoing some physical education notonly helps them become healthykids, but also helps them to be alertand concentrate much better inclass.This came to light in a two-day
schools summit that was held atGroote Schuur High School lastweek.The summit discovered the im-
portance of schools sports, the ben-efits of it as well as the challengesthat schools are facing. The schoolsport summit aims to bring togeth-er educators and key role playersto discuss these concepts.
SpeakersSome of the speakers over the
two days included Prof Tim No-akes, founder of the Sports ScienceInstitute of South Africa (SSISA),who talked about the power ofsport, Justin Durandt, manager ofthe Discovery High PerformanceCentre at the SSISA, CatherineDraper fromUCTwho talked aboutthe spirit of sport, Morne du Pless-
is, co-founder of the SSISA who al-so played for the Springboks.Addressing those who attended
the summit Du Plessis said sportsplayed an important role in socie-ty. “
Sport awakens hope and it has aunifying role in society. Coming toschool sports, when kids partici-pate in sports they are active andhappy. If sports make our childrenhappy then it’s very important.
Without being a scientist, makinga child happy is very important soif sports does that, it just showshow important it is. School sportsimprove the child’s attitude, confi-dence. It doesn’t mean they have to
excel but just taking part in anysporting activitieshelps a lot,” saidDu Plessis.Despite the challenges that
schools face, like lack of facilitiesand equipment, it was emphasisedthat children must participate in asporting activity every day. Clubsand schools were encouraged towork together.
Healthy marksDraper said apart from keeping
children physically active sport al-so improved their academic re-sults.“A lot of kids that take part in
sports do exceptionally well intheir studies. Kids must not spendmore than two hours on screentime, be it TV, TV games or iPads,as it has been proven that thosewho spendmore hours on TV don’tdowell at school. Tohaveanactive,healthy child they should take partin sports every day. That’s whyrunning around at break time andphysical education is very impor-tant for schools. Just by playing, itrefreshes their minds and increas-es their concentration spans.Those who take part in sports tendto do way better at school. It helpskids concentrate and those whoparticipate in sports behave muchbetter in classes and they achievebetter grades,” said Draper.

Challenge yourselfto help needy kidsTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
This month marks five years since theHome from Home organisation started
fundraising for vulnerable children. Andsince they started they haven’t taken theireyes off the ball.
To celebrate their milestone they are call-ing on individuals to challenge themselvesby raising funds for the Cape’s vulnerablechildren through the “challenges for chil-dren” campaign.
Home from Home provides supported andsupervised foster care for orphaned,abused, neglected and vulnerable childrenin small, family homes in disadvantagedcommunities in the Western Cape. Throughcontinued help from donors, supporters andfriends, Home from Home cares for up to 200children in 32 homes in fifteen disadvan-taged communities.
The “challenges for children” idea start-ed as a yoga challenge which encouragedparticipants to practise every day for 30days. It has now evolved into a broader initi-ative, inspiring individuals to push them-
selves out of their comfort zone to help thosewho are in need. Whether it is giving up avice or committing to a healthier habit, in-dividuals participating in this challengemonth are encouraged to recognise themany challenges the children helped byHome from Home face on a daily basis.
Pippa Shaper, development director forHome from Home, says over the past fiveyears the challenge participants havehelped raise more than R300 000 for the chil-dren under their care.
“It’s also great to see many of the sameparticipants joining us for the challenge ev-ery year,” says Shaper.
Yoga Way, a yoga and pilates studio inNewlands and the original partner of chal-lenge month, will be offering a special rateto all participants who wish to practise atits studio this month.
The proceeds will be going to helping thevulnerable children.
Whether it is donating what you wouldhave been spent on a vice for the month, orasking friends and family for sponsorship,Home from Home encourages individualsto take on a new challenge.
Yoga Way,a yoga andpilatesstudio inNewlandsand theoriginalpartner ofthe“challengesforchildren”fundraisingcampaign,is giving adiscountforchallengeparticipantsthis month.
What is the fine line between openness, ac-cess and control? Do constraints providea safe and free society in which to thrive,or do they hinder our existence?
These difficult questions will be tack-led, with some solutions offered, atTEDxCapeTown 2015.
Already in its fifth year, TEDxCape-Town 2015 tackles the delicate and highlyrelevant paradox of openness, access andcontrol.
As a non-profit organisation dedicatedto “ideas worth spreading”, TEDxCape-
Town continues to challenge perceptionsand engage its audience in worthwhileand forward-thinking conversations.
The main event takes place on Saturdayand Sunday at City Hall and brings togeth-er speakers and audience members to ex-plore the paradox of open access controlin different contexts.
The event will take place from 08:30 to17:00.
Tickets are available at R380, includinglunch, snacks and access to the afterparty,from www.tedxcapetown.org.

To prepare South African stu-dents with tools for their future
as the leaders of tomorrow, theMad charity has undergone a re-branding.The non-profit organisation, af-
fectionately known by its support-ers as Mad, will now be known asthe Make a Difference LeadershipFoundation, to emphasise the orga-nisation’s focus on leadership de-velopment through education.The launch of the newname took
place at a gala event hosted byformer Springbok captain Fran-cois Pienaar last week.Pienaar, chairperson of the
Foundation, said despite the chal-lenges facing South Africans, andthe education and leadership gaps
that desperately needed to be ad-dressed the foundation has alwaysbelieved in the vast potential thatexists in South Africa.“Positive effective change will
come from strong leaders and it iscritical that their potential be de-veloped through education andmentorship. Our revised name andbrand was driven by the need to fo-cus more on leadership, as this iskey to creating lasting change inour country,” he said.During a press conference before
the launch, Pienaar discussed howthe Make a Difference LeadershipFoundation raised the bar of edu-cation in the country.He explained that the approach
was to identify academically tal-
ented pupils, who did not have thenecessary financial resources andoffer them support for education,leadership and life-skills develop-ment.Pienaar said a key message was
that there was an opportunity foreveryone in South Africa to makea difference through mentoringand supporting talented pupilswith leadership potential in allcommunities. “Imagine if we cangrow an army of young people whocare about this country, who careabout society, who care about edu-cation. What a powerful force forchange that could be.”V For more information visit www.mad-charity.org or contact Amy Stevens on 021974 6231 or [email protected].

Silver lining fornetball teamEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
The u.12 netball team of Willows Prima-ry School inHeideveld has exceeded ex-pectations and come home with silver
in theSouthAfrican schoolsnetball primaryschool championship.A few weeks ago, People’s Post reported
that the school qualified to take part in thetournament and was seeking sponsors tohelp the team members reach Pretoria.They received support from Islamic Relief
South Africa, which donated the kit andequipment the team needed to compete inPretoria. The teamdid themproud and justi-fied their reputation as one of SouthAfrica’stop primary school netball teams.Faadiel’s Transport Services provided the
travel arrangements which allowed theteam to get to and from Pretoria safely.Agnes Grootboom, a teacher at Willows
Primary and the team’s manager, is ecstaticabout the team’s achievement, but alsopoints out that the effortwas inno small partdue to the hard work and commitmentshown by her players.“The girls practised throughout the June
holidays in preparation for the tournament.During the first week of the holidays, someof them did not come to school for practice
sessions. I had to go fetch them at home andsometimes (had to) wake them up, but afterI encouraged and motivated them, they be-came more dedicated and really workedhard during the practice sessions.”In the tournament itself, the team repre-
sented the Western Cape and swept pastteams from the North West, Eastern Capeand Limpopo.They reached the final in which they
would take on Gauteng.If qualifying to take part in the tourna-
ment was already seen as a tremendousachievement, then winning their way to thefinal in the hope of taking home the honourswould be nothing short of extraordinary.The team managed to play to a 6-6 score
in the final, which meant that the matchwould have had to go into extra time for awinner to be crowned.Unfortunately, when the final whistle was
blown, Gauteng managed to eke out a 7-6win, taking home the gold.Despite narrowly losing out on top hon-
ours, Grootboom remains immensely proudof her charges.“They made the school, and the whole of
the Western Cape province, very proud. Iwas very happy and told the girls that thehard work we put in during the holidayspaid off.
“If you work hard, you will succeed,” saysGrootboom.Grootboom is grateful for the sponsors
and school principal Kashief Abrahams,who, with their contributions, allowed them
to take this journey.“I think the girls looked very good in their
new netball gear, tracksuits and bags. Ithink that this also contributed towardstheir winning spree,” says Grootboom.
The u.12 netball team of Willows Primary School came second in the national primary schoolchampionship in Pretoria.

Mitchell’s Plain girls wing it to the topEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
The sport of rugby is flourishing in Mitch-ell’s Plain, but not in the way that you maythink.What started out as just a fledgling initia-
tive a little less than sixmonths old, has nowflourished into amovementwhereby, for thefirst time, three girls from the area haveopened spots for themselves at provinciallevel.The Princeton duo of Leandi Smith and
Shoneez Sabatini, as well asWestridge HighSchool’s Michaela Palmer, are representingWP at u.16 and u.18 levels respectively.The Mitchell’s Plain regional team is
coached by Shafiek Murphy, who is alsofrom Princeton, and managed by Rabia Al-exander.“If you look at the girls’ region at the mo-
ment, our rugby is only five, six months old.
At themomentwehave threeWPgirls in ourteam. They just came back fromnationals inOudtshoorn and they won the nationals andMichaela’s team (WP u.18) won their nation-als in Durban. Shoneez has (recently) beenincluded in the u.16 team,” says Murphy.He says that the girls play both sevens and
full matches and, depending on the event,the regions meet up at least once a monthto take part in a festival.Alexander did not believe she would end
up being part of a women’s rugby team, butis thoroughly enjoying the experience.“Our girls are doing excellently and the
team work is great. First it was just Prince-ton against Westridge and all the otherschools, but since we have combined, thelove for the game is even better now.”Shoneez (15) says rugby just became an
overnight passion of hers and that she seesa future for herself in the sport.“I just tried it out. Something just made
me want to try it out. It was just about hav-ing fun, trying our best and doing it as ateam. Rugby builds me as a person and Iam doing it for my future. I want to givemy mother a better life, because she is do-ing her best to provide for me, so I mustdomybest at school andwhat I have, Imustdo my best,” she says.Michaela (16), meanwhile, started play-
ing the sport after her classmates insistedshe join them. She found the adrenalinrush she gets from playing is particularlyaddictive, while Leandi fell in lovewith thesport because she is sporty by nature.“I first played touch rugby, but then WP
coach Ramsay came to our school and in-troduced full contact rugby to us. I run alot and I run fast, so I love scoring tries,”Leandi beams.Murphy says future plans involve devel-
oping a high-performance group of playersto feed and strengthenWPwomen’s rugby.

New way to enter Cycle TourEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
Riders hoping to enter next year’s CapeTown Cycle Tour (CTCT) will have toadhere to new, groundbreaking entry
requirements.The Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust
(CTCTT), which organises and runs therace, has announced a new entry system.An online “ballot system” will now re-
place the first-come, first-serve process,which the Trust says will bring them in linewith other international events. Such a bal-lot system has never been used in a SouthAfrican race before.This is in an effort to give every potential
entrant a fair chance of competing in therace by avoiding a fast sell-out of spots,which has been the case in the race’s recenthistory. Entries to this year’s race sold outin a record eight hours.The Trust has also increased the number
of entries from 35 000 to 40 000, butDavidBel-lairs, a director of the Trust, confirms thatno corporate group entries will be allowed,encouraging those who have made use ofthese entries in the past to follow either thepublic entry process or take up the opportu-nity to support a charity.Bellairs says these charities will be allo-
cated 7000 entries and the Pedal PowerAsso-ciation (PPA) will receive 5000 entries,which will be given to random members ofthe Association.“To honour PPA as founders of the event,
its paid-up members will be offered an ‘ear-ly-bird’ opportunity to register their interestin an entry to next year’s race.“Thosewho are unsuccessful in the initial
PPAballotwill automatically beadded to thegeneral public ballot, starting on 9 Septem-ber, giving them an additional chance to beawarded an entry,” Bellairs explains.27 000 ballotswill be available to the gener-
al public, with a further 1000made availabletodevelopmental associationsaswell as sub-stitutions.Registration of interest in obtaining a bal-
lot will be free and will open on 9 Septemberat 13:00.The window for such registration will re-
main open until 25 September at 13:00.Prospective riders (both local and interna-
tional) can register their interest at www.cycletour.co.za.Doing so amounts to an indication of inter-
est only, and will not ensure entry, and willrequire prospective entrants to update theirdetails at the same time.
In the week following the closure of thewindow for registration, successful appli-cants will receive emails from the CTCT toconfirm that they have been awarded an en-try, which will cost R470 per local rider.International entrieswill remain openun-
til February, or until the allocation of 5000riders is reached, and will cost R800 each.Unsuccessful applicants will also receive
an email and will be invited to enter via asupporting charity or by means of the offi-cial substitution process in January.Successful applicants will have until 26
October to pay and secure their entry. Pay-ment not received before this date, or the ap-
plicant’s option to decline the entry, will re-sult in that entry being made available to apreviously unsuccessful rider.According to Bellairs, online ballots have
been successful in top European and Ameri-can sporting events.“Such systems have become standard
practice at key sporting events around theworld, including the New York MarathonandBostonMarathon. TheTrust, alongwithits three co-naming rights sponsors – CapeArgus, Pick n Pay andMomentum – careful-ly researched and considered all options,and we are confident that our new processwill serve riders well and further entrench
the global appeal of the CTCT,” he says.“Wewant to avoid thousands of applicants
rushing to be first in line as the entry portalopens, and being disappointed when theysell out in a matter of hours.“Our intention is to create a fairer system
as it allows for a greater and more inclusiveopportunity for securing an entry. Entrieswill be awarded at random, regardless ofwhether interest is registered on the first orthe last day of the registration period.We be-lieve the implementation of this new systemis the bestway forward,” concludes Bellairs.The CTCT takes place on 6 March next
year.
