WINTER WARMTH: The Grade 6 learners at St George’s GrammarSchool in Mowbray, made 40 sleeping bags – from newspaper andplastic – to hand out to the homeless people for whom they havea weekly soup kitchen run from an informal settlement inLansdowne. Those who received the sleeping bags were gratefulfor the welcomed gifts during this freezing winter. The learnersare hoping to be able to make more. Photo: Supplied

Lady and the hunky trampLadyLady andand thethe hunkyhunky tramptrampDear reader,

At my rather mature age, I hadmy first real experience of “ladies’night”.I was actually after the goodiebag an upmarket establishmenttantalised with in their invitationpromising a “wonderful party toend Women’s Month”.My friend was up for the chal-lenge, but disappointingly, we didnot get goodie bags because wehad not reserved.What we got – and hadn’t re-served either – was enough halfnaked, muscular men serving usdelicate snacks. Our wish wastheir command.The mix of women were mainlyyoung, some older.When my friend asked mewhether this was “for desperatewomen”, I bounced the questionoff one of the topless lads who re-taliated: “No, it’s for women whowant something”.Well, count me out.I wasn’t there for anything oth-er thananewexperience anda fewfun hours in a classy place with agood friend.In any event, I have somethingat home (my husband, who knewmy whereabouts).Venturing on, we were treatedto no drinks, as the freebie drinks

were alcoholic, no snacks as we’dfilled up earlier on a tasteless beefwrap at a Turkish cafe, and no en-tertainment as themusic and fash-ion show were not to our taste.The fashion show seemed todrag on and was followed by amake-up lesson.In fairness,my friend and Iwerelistening to all this from comfycouches far from the action.We opted to not see the fashionandmake up demo by a guywhomwe explicitly heard saying that weshould apply foundation to ourlips as well, “to bring it all togeth-er”.Useful tip – in fact so useful itstopped us taking photos of our-selves, er, ourselves with thehunky eye candy.Within seconds of posting these

pictures on Facebook, I had 12likes, of which 11 were female.Two hours later, we were boredand all the gorgeous guys in theworld couldn’t persuade us other-wise – until I found a novel use forone.Declining his offer of “some-thing from the bar”, I tasked himwith going in search of a hot choc-olate, telling him it was close tomybedtimeand Ineededahotbev-erage before I left. The cutie deliv-ered.After agreeing to some passivesmoking on the roof deck with mysmoker friend, we left for home,only to find that my car had beenlocked in at the parking area I’dchosen for safety reasons.The security guard had gone on

his rounds and we had no choicebut to wait for him; enough timefor an opportunistic little man toapproach us with intent of snatch-ing our bags. He did not succeed.What I learnt from my “ladies’night” out is that it’s better to al-ways take a man along.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly col-

CanalCanal stalkstalk forfor PinelandsPinelandsTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

PINELANDS residents are warned to bealert when walking along the ElsieskraalRiver canal, following recent attacks.

The canal, near Forest Drive, is a green beltrunning through the suburb and attracts jog-gers, walkers, cyclists and dog walkers.The police, community policing forum

(CPF) and neighbourhood watch are con-cerned about the safety of the community fol-lowing incidents inwhich people have been at-tacked and mugged.“We are very aware that the canal is not a

safe place towalk or jog alone as robberies andmuggings have occurred there, often at gun-or knifepoint,” saysMarian Lennox, secretaryof the Pinelands CPF and NeighbourhoodWatch.“The canal flows through the length of Pine-

lands and is straddled by a number of bridgesunderwhich undesirables can hide,” she adds.She says this makes it easy for people to ac-

cess the canal from either end and undesira-bles use it as a way to enter the communityand commit all kinds of crimes such as robber-ies, house break-ins and theft out of motor ve-hicles.“Residents are encouragednot to gowalking

along the canal with anything of value, includ-ing jewellery, handbags and laptops. Bicycleshave also been taken from youngsters riding

along the canal on their own,” Lennox says.The police are urging residents to avoid

walking alone along the canal.“We are currently experiencing incidents of

robberies that are taking place along the canalduring themorning and afternoon,” says Pine-lands police spokesperson, Warrant OfficerTando Sonjica.Sonjica also says the community is being

urged not to speak to strangers, as perpetra-tors will use guile to rob people by asking fordirections or time.The Pinelands Neighbourhood Watch

shares these concerns.“We have noticed many vagrants and suspi-

cious-looking individuals in the area, whosleep in the park and on the door steps of thechurches. We would like to ask residents to bevery cautious when approached by individu-als especially at night,” chairperson of theneighbourhood watch, Sally Bourchet, says.She also asks the community to be more

careful with belongings because criminals arealways on the lookout for negligence.The police are advising residents to always

make sure that valuables are out of sight. Po-tential criminals are often on the lookout forpeople walking with their cellphones, iPods,jewellery and cash.“Preferably, leave valuables at home,”

warns Sonjica.Report any suspicious activities to Pine-

lands Police Station on 021 506 2022.

Ward 58 set to blossomTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

A NEW recycling pilot will create agreener environment in ward 58.Ward councillorMatthewKempthorne

is keen to get the ball rolling in greeninghis ward with the new project.“TheCity of CapeTownhas introduced

many different recycling pilots for us tolearn fromand I amhoping to start a pilotwithin the next six months in a commu-nity within ward 58,” says Kempthorne.Althoughanexact area for the pilot has

not yet been determined, he says the aimbehind this initiative is mainly becauseit is the right thing to do, as the landfillsare rapidly becoming full and the ship-ping costs involvedarea lot.Kempthornesays: “Why send goods to the landfillwhen it can be recycled. We have to tryanddivert recyclable goods fromrapidly-filling waste sites.”However, there are some important

factors to be considered, Kempthornepoints out, when deciding on an initia-tive that will best suit the residents andthe council. One of the factors being con-

sidered is how this scheme will impactorganisations that rely on recycling forincome. He says: “Recycling is a nicesource of revenue andwemust be carefulnot to cut the income for organisationssuch as schools, old age homes andNGOswho make use of recycling for extra in-come.”As the payment for this service will be

added to residents’ rates, Kempthornefeels their approval in the matter will becritical for success.“We will have to liaise with the com-

munity to see if they would want to dothis recycling pilot,” he says.Residents will receive green wheelie

bins, such as the black waste bins, fortheir recycle items. These bins will becollected weekly.Until this initiative is in place resi-

dents are advised to take their recyclableitems to the full drop sight in RosmeadAvenue, Kenilworth, where all recycla-ble items can be taken. For more conven-ience within the ward, Kempthorne saysresidents can also take their recycling toOasis in Lansdowne Road.

STODELS NURSERIES, one ofthe leading nursery groups inthe Cape Peninsula, will giveaway more than 5 000 trees togardeners in exchange for bagsof old newspapers on Friday tocelebrate National Arbor Week.

The project was launched byStodels Nurseries in 1983 and hasproved a huge success – a total of150 000 trees have been given awayover the past 25 years.The annual campaign aims to cre-

ate greater awareness among indi-viduals about their contribution toglobal warming (their carbon foot-print) and to encourage them to takesteps to off-set this damage.Stodels Nurseries Managing Direc-

tor Nick Stodel says: “We have al-ways been committed to the environ-ment. This project not only meansthat more than 5 000 new trees willbe planted, but our country’s naturalresources will be preserved throughthe recycling of paper contributions.This is an ideal opportunity for peopleto plant a tree and help off-set effectsof global warming.”Global warming is something we

can’t afford to ignore. Climatechange experts have unanimouslynamed Africa as the continent thatwill suffer worst from the effects ofglobal warming.Evenmore worrying for us in South

Africa is that the southern-most tipof Africa will bemost dramatically im-pacted. The Western Cape’s plantkingdoms, wine farms, fish stocksand low-lying coastal areas are all atrisk from rising sea levels (caused bymelting ice caps and glaciers), espe-cially since we are situated at thepoint where the Atlantic and Indianoceans meet.In addition, the United Nations’

Intergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange warned that in sub-SaharanAfrica, between25%and40%of ani-mals in national parks may becomeendangered.

Fortunately, there is a solution. Onaverage, one tree can absorb a tonof carbon dioxide over its lifetime.“So, by planting an indigenous

tree, you’ll be decreasing your car-bon footprint and you’ll be helping toprotect the environment for futuregenerations,” says Stodel.Want to claimyour free, indigenous

tree? It’s simple: just take a bag ofnewspapers to your closest StodelsGarden Centre. Make sure you getthere soon, as the offer is only availa-ble while stocks last.For further information on this

give-away or on other products avail-able during Arbor Week, call StodelsNurseries in Constantia on(021) 794 2221, Kenilworth on(021) 671 9050, Milnerton on(021) 528 4000, Bellville on(021) 919 1106 or Somerset West on(021) 852 7400. Or visit them atwww.stodels.com.

City finalisesstreet renamingRESPECTED anti-apartheid stal-warts will be honoured with the re-naming of street names in the city.

Following a public participation proc-ess, which saw 19 000 residents voicetheir opinions, theCity of CapeTownhascemented proposed name changes acrossthe peninsula.A total of six streets and two civic cen-

tres will be renamed, while an unnamedbridge will also be named. The final deci-sion was made at a Council meeting lastWednesday.The City had originally identified 27

proposed name changes six years ago.Several processes andmeetings led to thefinal decision.The process was marred with several

hiccups, most notably the proposal tohave Vanguard Drive changed to DullahOmar Drive (“Where the streets havenames”, People’s Post, 24 July).But Athlone residents and the Omar

family were not in favour of this change.They called for Jan Smuts Drive to bechanged to Dullah Omar Drive.Both the Smuts andOmar families had

been consulted, but in the end it was de-cided the road will remain Jan SmutsDrive. Vanguard Drive will also remain.Councillor Brett Herron, chairperson

of the naming committee, says: “Under-standably this process, more often thannot, elicits a deeply emotional responseand throughout the process we havetried to hold ourselves to a standard ofobjectivity, extensive and comprehen-sive public consultation, transparencyand acute sensitivity.“This was not always easy as those of

us who have fronted this work, especial-ly at some of the public hearings, havehad to endure some of the crudest re-sponses whichwere often rooted in deep-seated prejudice and a lack of generosityof spirit thathasnoplace inourdemocra-cy.”The most significant change is the re-

naming of portions of Lansdowne Road.The section from Wetton to Turfhallroads will remain Lansdowne Road,while the section from Turfhall toPalmyra roads will be renamed ImamHaron Road.The segment fromWetton to Swartklip

roads will be known as Govan MbekiRoad and the stretch of road fromSwartklip Road to Baden Powell Drivewill become Jeff Masemola Road.Other name changes are:. CoenSteytlerAvenue toWalterSisu-

lu Avenue;. NY1 to Steve Biko Drive;.Modderdam Road to Robert Sobuk-

we Road;. Harrier Street (Parklands) to Blue

Crane Street;. Hendrik Verwoerd Drive to Uys

Krige Drive;.Wittebome Civic Centre to Wynberg

Civic Centre;. Athlone Civic Centre to Dulcie Sep-

tember Civic Centre;. and the unnamed footbridge be-

tween Langa and Bonteheuwel becomesBonte-Langa footbridge.

Get your service deliveryTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

WARDcouncillorsareadvisingresidentsto use the correct system to get effectiveservice delivery.

When it comes to service delivery on acouncil level, ward councillors feel servicedelivery delays might occur due to residentsusing the incorrect method of notifying theCity of Cape Town of a complaint.These type of queries could be related to

electricity, telephone lines, sewerage prob-lems, metal thefts or vagrants.Ward councillors Matthew Kempthorne

andElizabethBrunette ofwards 58 and 62 re-spectively, are asking residents to make useof theC3Electronic System to note their que-ries.Brunette says: “I urge the public to call the

City numbers and relevant departments be-cause officials might not be in the same de-partment any more. That is when the prob-lems and a mix up can occur.”When asked whether she has had prob-

lems with service delivery, Jackie Rack, aresident says: “I haven’t had a real problem

with service delivery. I regularly have aproblem with my sewerage system and mydrains over flow but they come out immedi-ately.”Racks says she normally calls the City di-

rectly andcan’t recall a problemwith servicedelivery from personal experience.However, when asked if she thought that

service delivery could be due to people notusing the correct system to log a complaintshe tellsPeople’sPost: “No, I donot think thatis the reason. I hear people calling in on theradio all the time, complaining that the oper-ators in departments don’t know what theyare doing and continuously transfer thosepeople calling.”Kempthorne says for all service delivery

queries or complaints, residents shouldmake use of the C3 electronic system.The system consists of three ways in

which to contact the City with your queries,namely by calling 086 010 3089, emailing con-tactUS@capetown.gov.za or sending an SMS(no more than 160 characters) to 31373.Byusing this systemyourcontact is logged

and a unique reference number enablestracking for progress.

On Sunday morning more than 500 motorcyclists from across the Peninsula gathered at the Grand Paradein support of No Day To Die, a road safety campaign to raise awareness for bikers on the road.

A positive move for ObsTAURIQ HASSEN

A LARGE chessboard is set to become one ofthe first public board games of its size in Ob-servatory later this month.Heritage Day on Monday 24 September will

see theObservatory ImprovementDistrict (Ob-sid) launching the large chessboard under theStation Road bridge.Ursula vanStavel, theChiefOperationsMan-

ager for Obsid, explains that the section underthe bridge is currently being upgraded for thecommunity’s use.The area is being improved to make way for

the chessboard with murals on the surround-ing walls.Large chess pieces, which have to be booked

out, will be required before users can startchanting “Checkmate!”“This is really something big for the area and

it will benefit the whole community. We findthis as being really big for Observatory,” VanStavel says.Various schools, organisations and families

will be invited on National Braai Day to offi-cially launch the chessboard and participate ina few friendly games.Resident Bridget Jackson is excited at the

prospect of having a “user-friendly” publicspace metres away from her home.Jackson has two sons, both of whomare keen

on chess.She says: “I have not told them yet, but can

only imagine what their expressions would bewhen I tell them they can play chess with hugepieces.”Ward councillor Brett Herron welcomes the

project.“Any community initiated project which

contributes to improvingpublic spaces andcre-ating safe, useful nodes for communities to en-

joy are to be encouraged,” he says.He confirms that funding has been made

available for similar projects, linked to Herit-age Day, to be rolled out throughout the ward.“Whatwe have here is a simple, creative idea

that contributes significantly to improving thearea,” he says.Herron looks forward to World Design Capi-

tal 2014, encouraging residents to see how theycan respond to City-owned spaces that can beimproved through partnership between resi-dents and the council.

Surgeries linedup for SaturdaysTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

SATURDAY surgeries will eat intothe backlog at Red Cross Children’sHospital.

That’s the aim of the hospital’s team-up with MediClinic Southern Africa. Itis the second time the two institutionsteam up.It has already kicked in and will con-

tinue until Saturday 24 November.The initiative, which MediClinic

SouthernAfricawill be funding at a costof approximately R200 000, will help todecrease the longwaiting list for surger-ies – which are not a life-and-death situ-ation – butwill improve the child’s qual-ity of life.Philippa Douglas, fundraising man-

ager for the Children’s Hospital Fund,says: “While all of these conditions arenot life-saving, they are most certainlylife-changing for a young child. This isthe second year that MediClinic South-ern Africa has generously funded thisinitiative which was first rolled out asa pilot project in 2011.”She adds last year they were able to

help 54 children during the eight-weekSaturday surgeries.Elective surgeries are not usually

conducted over weekends at the hospi-tal, therefore an extra day of surgerywill reduce the hospital’s waiting listconsiderably.“For some procedures, patients have

to wait months or even up to a year,”says Sharmila Amos, operational man-ager of the Day Surgery Unit.“These long waiting times do not only

mean that children have to live in dis-comfort for considerable periods oftime, but can also lead to more seriousmedical complications,” says Professor

AlpNumanoglu, headof Paediatric Sur-gery.Numanoglu says they need to ensure

that the benefits the children receivefrom these surgeries will outweigh therisks.“By alleviating the pressure at the

hospital we hope to get to a place where-by, if a child comes to see us today andneeds surgery,we canoffer it nextweek.With the generous contribution we

have received and after clearing thelists, I’m sure this will happen nextyear,” he says.Dr Mvula Yoyo, Transformation Ex-

ecutive ofMediClinic, says the provincehas the best relationship between thepublic and private healthcare sectors.“The rest of the country should get onboard,” says Yoyo.He mentions it is important for Medi-

Clinic Southern Africa to be part of apartnership that serves the wider com-munity and aims to bridge the gap be-tween the private and public health sec-tors.He says: “MediClinic SouthernAfrica

is proud to be associated with the Satur-daySurgeries initiative at theRedCrossChildren’s Hospital. We believe in sus-tainable healthcare within our commu-nities and the delivery of improvedhealthcare in South Africa.”Dr Anita Parbhoo, manager of medi-

cal services at the Red Cross Children’sHospital, says this initiative has alsodone a great deal in boosting the moralof staff working in the departmentswhere waiting lists have decreased,aside fromassisting the children and in-creasing theatre efficiency.“The Red Cross Children’s Hospital

andMediClinic SouthernAfrica help usdo what we do best and that is helpingthe children,” she says.

Suspectsought forattemptedmurderALOVERS’quarrel inMow-bray has turned bloody andhas left one wounded andthe other on the run.

The police are urgentlyneeds the public’s help in trac-ing the whereabouts of AndileIrvan Siyoko, who is beingsought in connection with anattempted murder case inMowbray.

“It is alleged that on Mon-day 13 August at about 11:40Siyoko proceeded to the resi-dence of his ex-fiancé in For-est Hill, Mowbray, where analtercation ensued resultingin the victim sustaining sever-al stab wounds to the body,”says Captain Angie Latch-man, spokesperson for theClaremont Cluster.

Police say investigations re-veal that the suspect is fromBloemfontein but lives withfriends in Philippi.

Any who can assist with in-formation are requested to ur-gently call the investigatingofficer, Constable MuvukileMalumbu, on (021) 680 9580 orCrime Stop on 08600 10111.

The Pinelands Neighbour-hood Watch are worried aboutresidents being targeted insmash-and-grab incidents.

Sally Borchert, chairpersonof the Pinelands Neighbour-hood Watch, says smash-and-grab incidents are ongoingsources of worry and driversare urged not to leave hand-bags and laptops on the pas-senger or back seat of theircars.

“It takes just a few secondsfor these items to be taken andit is a traumatic experience,”she says.

Pinelands residents are alsobeing urged to be more vigi-lant and not leave their doorsopen or unlocked while insidethe house. According to theneighbourhood watch, thisone way criminals gain en-trance.

Theft of motor vehicles is al-so a great concern to theneighbourhood watch, whosay vehicles are being stolenfrom outside houses, in drive-ways and behind gates.“Please ensure that your vehi-cle is locked and alarmed orplaced under lighting,”saysBorchert.

“Wheels are being removedfrom cars and residents areadvised to be on the lookout.”

Following the increase intheft out of motor vehicles,residents are being asked bythe neighbourhood watch tonot leave anything in their ve-hicles, not even empty packetsor boxes, as these are per-ceived to have something ofvalue inside them.

“Our feeling is that if thereis nothing to take, the win-dows will not be broken,” saysBorchert says.

WANTED:Police are onthe hunt forAndile IrvanSiyoko. Thesuspect iswanted forattemptedmurder.

THREEmonths after a contro-versial painting of presidentJacob Zuma by artist BrettMurray, a new painting hassurfaced. CapeTownartistAy-anda Mabulu’s painting de-picts a well-endowed Zuma,dancing in traditional Zulucostume. People’s Post readersshared their views of the newartwork with interns Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and LuzukoZini, who also took the photos.

DISRESPECTFUL: Luqmaan Timmbelieves artists should be sensitive.“Respect needs to be shown. Evenif one does not like him, he is still ourpresident and he needs to be re­spected for that.”

WRONG: Lunelle Davids says thepainting is a clear insult to the presi­dent. “The artist is making fun of ourpresident and that is wrong, espe­cially when the artist draws privateparts.”

VIOLATION: Khuthala Ndolondolosays Zuma’s rights are being violat­ed. “He is the father of the nation andshould be respected nomatter what.We are not supposed to see his pri­vate parts; only he must see it.”

NOT FUNNY: Clint Williams believesthe artist is wrong. “That is our pres­ident and these paintings are moral­ly wrong. Some may think it is funny,but I don’t because it is a sign of dis­respect.”

DEPENDS: Tyrel Stober says youropinion depends on how you view thematter. “Some people may think it isfunny and some will think it is disre­spectful.”

NOT ACCEPTABLE: Allan Africa says peopleneed to respect our leaders. “Each person isentitled to a certain amount of privacy and re­spect and those have been violated with thesepaintings.”

HUMILIATING: Vanessa Brink sayspeople should keep their opinions tothemselves. “This is very disturb­ing, even if the artist doesn’tlike him they should re­spect Zuma instead ofmaking him and hisfamily feel humili­ated.”

New heritageWITHHeritageDayonMonday24September,the decision to rename some Cape Townstreets has been made in good time.The street renaming debate will continue

unabated.This is an emotional issue. There will al-

ways be detractors.Some may breathe a sigh of relief at the re-

naming of Hendrik Verwoerd Drive to UysKrige Drive and the offensively-named Na-tive Yard (NY1), whichwill be renamed SteveBiko Drive.The street renaming should be perceived as

anattempt at redressing part of this country’spainful past – and, hopefully, to leave it bur-ied.But Heritage Day has itself been unofficial-

ly rebranded National Braai Day.This in itself speaks of a lack of sentiment

towards our national heritage.And it may not be such a bad thing.Ask most locals if they know the people

who, until now, have had streets named forthem.Most won’t know who Hendrik Verwoerd

was. Or Coen Steytler.Fast forward to two decades from now and

who will remember Walter Sisulu or RobertSobukwe?Admittedly, many will remember Nelson

Mandela, but as for the rest?Contemporary history will give most of

these political icons a line in the annals of ourhistory books.By comparison, ask any tourist what they

love about Cape Town and they will say it isthe friendly people, the natural beauty of thecity, the different cultures, fine food andwine.These are reasons enough to draw foreign-

ers to our country.A braai on a Monday? Why not? Celebrat-

ing Heritage Day with friends and family isperhaps a suitable heritage.One that is worth building on.

Litterbugs ordered to clean upABOUT midday on Sunday 26 August at thejunction of Queens Way and Gousblom Road,Pinelands, I happened upon two horse and cartoperators tipping their load of rubbish and gar-den waste onto the roadway and Council roadreserve.I was on my bicycle; the roadway and adja-

cent dwellings were deserted.Onmy telling them to reload the rubbish and

beon theirway Iwasmetwith the standardhos-tile comment and the show of an old axe.Retreatwasmy only option, but luckily along

came two souls in a car whom I duly flaggeddown. They immediately phoned the police andADT. By this time the cart duo were readying

their wagon and made off with the bicycle andcar in hot pursuit.My attempt at driving the horse and cart into

the gutter and over the kerb failed to deter thehorsemen in their escape.Just when I thought all was lost an ADT pa-

trol officer arrived and ordered them back tothe crime scene to clean up.Some time later two police officers arrived

and after a brief jovial discussion with the cul-prits promply disappeared. Thank you to thetwo women who put themselves at risk and tothe ADT officer for doing his duty.ANONYMOUSPinelands

Teacher to raiseR1m for charityLIAM MOSES

A MITCHELL’S PLAIN teacher has sethimself the target of raising R1million forschools and charities by running the Chi-cago Marathon in October this year.

Irafaan Abrahams, a teacher at RocklandsHigh School, is already well known acrossCape Town for his community work, havingraised over R250 000 in a similar project lastyear where he ran the New York Marathon.

This year 10 different schools and two can-cer charities will be the recipients of anymon-ey raised.

Abrahamssays thathe chose tomakecancercharities and cancer education a major partof this year’s programme because of his per-sonal experience with the disease.

“The main point of this year’s project is toraise awareness about cancer and spread ofcancer. That’s why the two beneficiaries thisyear are amaBeleBelles andCancervive,” saysAbrahams.

“It’s a big personal push also because lastyear while I was running the New York Mara-thonmy dad fell ill and he was diagnosed withcancer. It’s a big personal issue.”

Abrahams adds that two members of theOmmiedraai Athletic Club, which helps himwith one his community projects, were also re-cently diagnosed with the disease.

The money for the project will be raised bythe 10 schools Abrahams has enlisted, Mitch-ell’s Plain-based NGO Making an ImpactThrough Sport (MITS), the Ommiedraai Ath-letics Club, the Itheko Sport Athletic Club andthe ARD Athletic Club.

While the schools will keep all of the moneythat they raise to use on their own projects,

and possibly donate a percentage to the twobeneficiary NGOs if they wish to, the otherfour organisations will donate around 50 per-cent of themoney they raise to amaBele Bellesand Cancervive.

The schools and organisations will raise thefunds using collection cards; donate R5 foreach of the Chicago Marathons 43 kilometres.Abrahams says he is certain that the R1 mil-lion can be raised through the project.

“Every school on average gets a thousandcards which could bring in R250 000 even ifthey only bring in half of that money and weadd it up we will have our R1 million,” saysAbrahams.

“I am very confident that we can raise thismoney this year.”

LIAM MOSES

WOODLANDS United strengthened theirclaim for a place in the Engen KnockoutChallenge finals on Saturday after rout-ing Ashford Athletic in a play-off fixtureat the Stephen Reagan sports complex.

TheMitchell’s Plain side beat their Heath-field opponents 4-0 to claim the top spot inGroup 3 of the play-off round. Woodlandsdominated thematch virtually from the firstwhistle, camping in the opposition half, mo-nopolising possession and limiting Ashfordto counter attacks.The Ashford defence worked to keep Unit-

ed at bay for most of the first half, but theirresistance was finally broken around half-way through the first half.The ball was crossed into the penalty area

from a corner and Jason Miller capitalisedon Ashford’s inability to clear the danger bysmashing the ball into the roof of the net.Woodlands were not made to wait long for

their second goal and again took advantageof sloppy set-piece defending minutes later.Ashford failed to clear the ball from a cornerand Nazeer Stallboom slammed the ballhome during the ensuing goal-mouth scram-ble. Ashford grew desperate in the secondhalf and sent more players forward, but thetactic proved fatal as Woodlands simply re-verted to the direct, counter-attacking playthat has become their hallmark.In the 37th minute, Woodlands attacker

Adrian vanNiekerkwas put through on goalafter a pin-point through-ball from one of histeammates.He smuggled theball into thenetafter the Ashford keeper fumbled a save.Van Niekerk struck the death blow nine

minutes later, when he turned on the edgeof the box and beat one man and to a clinicalfinish.Woodlandsunder-17 coachElricClaasen is

confident his team will be able to beat Na-tional First Division side Vasco da Gama intheir next game to their place in the last 16.“I think we will go through now that we

have won. I wanted this result; I predictedthis result. We need one more win to gothrough,” says Claasen.“Weare playingVasconext and I feel confi-

dent. They are a big team, but winningagainst big teams is what us smaller teamsdo.”Claasen believes his team’s superior tac-

tics and hard work on the training groundpaid off during the match.“I thinkwewon because of our direct play.

We exploited their defensive system. Theirdefence was weak and ours was strong.That’s where we got our goals. I think ourtraining paid off. We focused on set piecesduring training.”Claasen, who also plays for theWoodlands

senior side, adds that his teamwere themoremotivated side because the club is turning20 this year.The final 16 teams for the Engen Knockout

Challenge will be decided this week after thelast round of play-off fixtures takes place atthe Thornton Sports Complex today and onThursday.Today Stars of Africa face Kuils River at

18:30, Bluegum United play Greenwood at19:30, and Vasco play Woodlands at 20:30.On Thursday Bayhill United play Blueg-

um at 18:30, Stars of Africa face Jamestownat 19:30 and Ashford Athletic take on Vascoda Gama at 20:30.
