HOUSING: GOAHEAD SPARKS DISSENT
Divided overbuilding planASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
An application to demolish a Rondeboschproperty and erect a multi-housing unit onthe same plot has been given the go-ahead.
Despite several objections, the Protea Sub-council gave permission last week for the fourbuildings at 54 Dean Street to be erected.
Speaking on behalf of other property owners,resident Terence Strong opposed the applicationsaying the proposed development is not in keep-ing with the character of the area.
He also said the height of the proposed build-ings will affect the existing view of the surround-ing buildings.
“While it is understood that thedeveloper coulderect a building of three storeys on the property,the footprint of such a building would be slightlydifferent to that which is proposed,” says Strong.
“The new building will affect the afternoonlight enjoyed by the neighbours and will alsohave an adverse impact in terms of overshadow-ing.”
In response, land surveyor Ken Hodge says:“The development is below the height we are al-lowed to cover.
“The buildings will be up to 10m in height witha 42% coverage which will result in a minor den-sification.”
Hodge says the specific area marked for the de-velopment is a prime area for densification, buttheir proposed plan is way below this mark.
“The property is situated within 250m of a ma-
jor urban transport corridor within which signif-icant densification is required as per the City andprovincial government’s approved special devel-opment and structure plans.”
According to the report a single access pointwill be used for all four dwellings.
Due to the topography the roofs of the proposeddwellings have been staggered and are three sto-reys high.
According to the building plans all the pro-posed dwellings are to face Dean Street.
The property is about 250m from Main Roadand the surrounding area comprises a mix ofhousing types, including apartment complexes,townhouses and freestanding properties.
The report further states that the applicationis in line with the Metropolitan Spatial Develop-ment Framework, Municipal Spatial Develop-ment Framework and the Development Facilita-tionAct all ofwhich promote densification in are-as within walking distance of an activity spine.
Ward councillor Ian Iversen said if the appli-cant is within his rights to build then he may doso. However, he says, the proposed buildings arenot attractive andmoreattention couldhavebeenpaid to the design.
“They look bland as the buildings are all in onerow and if perhaps the line was broken it wouldlook more attractive,” he added.
The report further states that the proposal doesnot lack desirability or impact on any existingrights and according to terms of Section 36 of theLand Use Planning Ordinance the proposal wasapproved.

MUNICIPALITY: ECD CENTRES URGED TO APPLY
Rebates deadline approachesThe City of Cape Town’s social develop-
ment and early childhooddevelopmentdirectorate urges community organi-
sations working with vulnerable groups toapply for rates rebates as soon as possible.
Shelters working with homeless peopleand homes catering for the health of physi-cally or mentally challenged individualsand vulnerable groups need to register withthe City’s Homeless Agency Committee toapply for rebates related to rates, solidwaste, water and sanitation and sewage bySunday 31 August.
In the past financial year, the City hasheld anumber of information sessions to en-sure interested organisations are informedof this opportunity, and relevant documen-
tation needed and the process to be followedto qualify for relief for the 2014/2015 finan-cial year.
“We’ve discovered in thepast someorgan-isations are unaware of the policy, whileothers have failed to qualify for relief mere-ly because they did not have the necessarydocumentation, orwereunsureofhow to fillin the forms,” said Mayoral Committeemember for Social Development and arlychildhood development Suzette Little.
“So, last year we started the informationsessions to assist organisationswho do ster-lingwork in our communities butwho oftenstruggle to cover costs such as municipalbills because of funding constraint. In thisway, the City and NGOs can work together
to make progress possible.”Formore information on how to apply for
the rebates, NGOs can contact the City’sCall Centre on 0860 103 089.
Alternatively visit their nearest munici-pal office.
The directorate is also planning to amendthe City’s current Rates Rebate Policy to al-low registered Early Childhood Develop-ment (ECD) centres to apply for rebates aswell.
“The importance of well-functioning ECDcentres cannot be overstated,” said Little.
“The money that they would be able tosave courtesy of the rates rebates will go along way towards enhancing the currentlevel of education provided at the centres.”

SPCA: distemper warningDog owners are cautioned byauthorities to vaccinate theirpets against Canine Distemper(CD).
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA(CoCG SPCA) says they haveseenan increase in thenumbersof animals infectedwith the dis-ease.
The organisation last Tues-day issued this important re-minder to canine owners to vac-cinate their puppies and olderdogs.
Wanika Rusthoi, spokesper-son for the organisation, saidcanine distemper is a virus thataffects a dog’s respiratory, gas-trointestinal and central nerv-ous systems, as well as the con-junctivalmembranes of the eye.
Noticeable signs of distemperinclude shedding, thick mucusdischarge from the eyes andnose, fever, lethargy and sud-den vomiting and diarrhoea.
“The virus does, however,have an incubation period oftwo weeks wherein symptomsare not noticeable, and some
dogs are able to be carriers ofthe virus without showingsymptoms themselves,” saidRusthoi.
“Infection is preventablethrough up-to-date vaccina-tions against the virus.”
The organisation urges dogowners to ensure their pet’svaccinations are up-to-date, in-cluding an annual booster vac-cination.
“Pet owners who take theirdogs for walks in public areaslike parks or beaches, shouldmake sure to visit their vet an-nually for a booster vaccinationagainst this, and other virusesthat can affect their dog’shealth,” she said.
Rusthoi said the Cape of GoodHope’s Gorfinkel Animal Hos-pital in Grassy Park was placedunder quarantine for the nextfour weeks.
Non-emergencies would bereferred to other animal wel-fare organisations where the fa-cilities are unaffected by the CDvirus.

An application to amend a site develop-ment plan has been put on hold pend-ing a site visit from the Protea sub-
council.Auburn House School, situated at 3 Au-
burn Road and Hillbrow Close in Kenil-worth, initially submitted an application toconduct alterations and additions.The plan to build an additional ECD cen-
tre, primary school and community andteacher training centre, was approved on 9July 2010.However problems cropped up when the
conditions stipulated that the buildingplans had to be implemented within threemonths of the application.The town planner, Tommy Brummer,
speaking on behalf of the applicant, saidtherewere difficulties in registering the no-tarial tie (which connects three properties)and with existing buildings being demol-ished to make way for a thoroughfare.The main reason for this was a shortage
of funding to undertake the new extensionsto make up for the loss of space.“Effectively the proposal is to amend the
approval granted in 2010 – but never imple-mented – for a one-way route through routeand also to reduce the number of on-siteparking bays and to retain the existing ga-rage and administration building, whichwere to be demolished, and construct a newhallway, music room extension, coveredwalkways and a store,” he says.The report states that the school will con-
tinue operating within the proposed sharedspaces or independently in the event of thelease with the School of Economic Science,which is part of Auburn House School, be-ing integrated into the proposal.
It was also found that traffic flow is flow-ing smoothly.However an objection was made by a
neighbouring resident who said the planwill cause congestion in terms of traffic andparking.“Ahallwill bring further functions, noise
and traffic to the area outside normal oper-ating hours and the noise issue has alreadybeen raised with the school,” the residentsaid.He further proposed that themusic facili-
ty rather be located in close proximity tonearby apartment buildings.“The existing music school, Beau Soleil,
should be used for the music lessons giventhe potential noise impact of the proposedfacility,” he added.In response, Brummer said the fact that
only one objectionwasmade shows that theschool enjoys the majority of support fromsurrounding residents.
He added that the proposed music roomis not adjacent to the objector’s propertyand is screened from the apartment com-plex by the proposed walkway, which willprovide a less cramped space with no in-crease in noise.“The revised proposals are desirable and
in the best interest of the school, withoutnegatively impacting on the surroundingneighbourhood,” he said.Ward councillor Ian Iversen said that a
site visit will be conducted before a final de-cision is made as they need to ensure theproposed development does not have a neg-ative impact on the surrounding area.“With the proposed extension of the mu-
sic room, activities could increase and weneed to know whether the capacity can befed by the surroundings and infrastructurebefore we give the proposed developmentthe green light,” he says.V SMS your comments to 32516 at R1.

An application for a slot ma-chine business licence in Ke-nilworth has been approved.
This was given the green light atthe Protea Subcouncil meeting onFriday 22 August.The application was made last
year by Betting World Pty(Ltd) tocomply with the new laws and reg-ulations relating to the use of slotmachines.The business is situated at the
Kenilworth Racecourse in Ros-mead Avenue in Kenilworth.Angelique van der Westhuizen,
regionalmanager of BettingWorldPty (Ltd), says the slot machineshave been on the property for sometime. However they could not beused due to the new rules and regu-lations set out by the provincialGambling and Racing Board.Previously, we were not re-
quired to fill out additional paper-work [to make use of the slot ma-chines] for the board.”However Van der Westhuizen
saysnow theboardhasbrought outnew rules which stipulate thatbusinesses who own slot machinesare obligated to get council approv-al and a business licence before us-ing the machines or making anyforms of bets.Van der Westhuizen says now
that the business licence has beenapproved and supported by coun-cil, they will be able to provide ad-
ditional services to their clients.“The slot machines are a favour-
ite among many of our clients whovisit the premises ” she says.Visitors can also place horserac-
ing bets on the premises.“We are pleased that our applica-
tionhas been approved and thatwecan continue to operate our busi-ness as per the rules and regula-tions,” she says.In a report submitted by sub-
council it was stipulated that theapplication for a business licenceby Betting World Pty (Ltd) wasproperly supplied for and submit-ted by the applicant to the Cityhealth directorate for furtherprocessing.The application was also circu-
lated among thenecessary internaldepartments and the police forcomments and clearances.The internal departments issued
clearances in support of the busi-ness licence and the applicationwas granted on the basis that theapplicant must prominently dis-play the business licence in a con-spicuous place on the premises soas to be visible to patrons, the pub-lic and council officials at all times.The report also states that the
business licence isnot transferablebetween people or businesses.The premises is also expected to
comply with the requirements ofthe Tobacco Products Control Actat all times.The applicant is also aware that
the City’s health department re-
serves its right to ask for any addi-tional requirements whichmay bedeemed necessary.The approval of the licence does
not excuse the holder from compli-ance with any other licences, con-ditions or statutory requirements.
Furthermore, the report stipu-lates that the applicant must com-ply with the requirements of theprovincial noise control regula-tions at all times.The City’s fire and emergency
services issued a letter stating that
they have inspected the premisesand it appears to conform to theminimum fire safety require-ments.Thedepartment thereforehadno
objections to issuing a fire clear-ance certificate.

LOWE TRUST: FUNDRAISER FOR PULMONARY AILMENTS
Jenna shines alight on diseaseAn urgent organ trans-
plant will be a lifeline fora Claremont teenager.
Jenna Lowe (19) suffers fromthe little-known and life-threatening condition calledprimary pulmonary arterialhypertension, with minimaltreatment available to her inSouth Africa.The disease is caused when
someone has excessively highbloodpressure in theveins andarteries of their lungs. It is alife-threatening condition forwhich there is currently nocure, but there are PH-specifictherapies available to managethe symptoms.
Lowe says the disease is a cruel and invisi-ble one. “It has changed my life and that ofmy family,” she says.
Although it has beenadifficult journey forher, she has been able to raise awareness ofthe condition and to help people in the earlystages of detection.
People affected with this disease sufferfrom continuous high blood pressure in thelungswhich results in an enlargement of theheart, and can lead to heart failure.
Her mother Gabi Lowe says she is proudof her daughter for not falling victim to thedisease.“Jenna is always positive, a fighter and
has never given up on life,” she says.She is now on the top of the organ donor
list for a bilateral lung transplant.After her family was informed of her dis-
ease they started the Jenna Lowe Trust.The procedure and after-care for Jenna is
extremely costly and therefore the trust ishosting a “Celebrity Sunday” event on 7 Sep-tember.
This event will not only aid Jenna in herstruggle, but be a platform to raise aware-ness for themanySouthAfricans livingwithpulmonary hypertension.
Through this event the family would alsolike to raise awareness for organ donation.
One organ donor can save seven lives andJenna desperately needs a lung transplant,along with 4300 other South Africans whoare also awaiting organ transplants.
The event will take place at the BaxterTheatre in Rondebosch and starts at 18:30until 21:00.
Tickets, at R350, are available at Com-puticket and www.computicket.co.za.

All fines annulled for National Book WeekAnyone who owes City of Cape Town li-braries a fine will have a free pass duringNational Book Week.This year’ theme is Going places and
will take place from Monday 1 to Sunday7 September.The theme focuses on the power of
books and how they can take us places –both in terms of progress and imagina-tion.Theweek aims to promote and embrace
the value of reading and is a joint initia-tive between the Department of Arts andCulture and the South African Book De-velopment Council.During this week library patrons can
return overdue material to City librarieswithout having to pay fines.Reading statistics show only 14% of the
South African population are active bookreaders and only 5% of parents read to
their children.Belinda Walker, City Mayco member
for Community Services and SpecialProjects, says: “National BookWeek is animportant initiative in encouraging thenation to value reading as a fun and pleas-urable activity and to showcase how read-ing can easily be incorporated into one’sdaily life.”Returning long overdue books is some-
thing everyone loathes doing, she says.“It leaves us feeling like naughty school
children, sheepishly approaching the li-brary countermuttering excuses. But anylibrary materials returned late duringNational Book Week are exempt from afine for this week only. It provides a graceperiod for all thosewhohave been puttingoff taking their long overdue books backto the library.”Ninnie Steyn, director of Library and
Information Services, says: “We knowthat with today’s fast-paced lifestyles, re-turning library books is often just oneitem on a long list of things to do.Wewantto provide people with an incentive tobring back forgotten library books.”If you consider thenumbers of booksbe-
ing circulated by Cape Town’s libraries,it’s easy to see why keeping tabs on booksis no small task. Cape Town boasts 100 li-braries, three satellite libraries and amo-bile library service. Almost 12 millionpeople visited the City’s libraries during2013 and 11.7 million books were bor-rowed.Nearly 90 000 new members joinedthe City’s libraries in the last year andabout 900 000 people attended over 22 000library programmes in the same period.These include reading, literacy, genderand HIV/Aids programmes as well as sto-rytelling sessions and DVD screenings.

EDUCATION: PUPIL PLACEMENT CAN BE TRACKED
System aidsin enrolmentsThe provincial education department
has launched an online system to sim-plify pupil enrolments.
Work started on the School AdmissionsManagement Information (Sami) systemlast year and saw the first implementationon 8 August to manage enrolment of pupilsfor 2015.
The systemmakes it easier for schools tokeep track of applications and share infor-mation with other schools and officials.
The education department developed thesystem in collaboration with the Centre fore-Innovation (CEI) to tackle the challengesof out-of-date information on pupil place-ment, tracking information on areas mostunder pressure, and the need to crosscheckmultiple waiting lists.
Provincial education minister DebbieSchäfer says the system is theway forward.
“Having information such as this availa-ble to us will greatly assist us in not onlyensuring pupils are placed before the 2015school year starts, but will also assist inplacing pupils who enrol late,” Schäfersays.
The system will show the number of
available places at a school, and thenumber of applications per grade at school,circuit and district level.
“The new system has simplified the proc-ess considerably as schools cannowuse thesystem to capture applications on a central-ised database,” Schäfer adds.
The system can also generate lists of pu-pils accepted at more than one school andparents will have until Friday 26 Septem-ber to decide which school they would liketheir child to attend should they be accept-ed at more than one.
The system makes use of ID numbers toavoid duplication and to differentiate be-tween children with the same name andsurname.
Schools will not have to re-enter pupil de-tails for 2015 if they have already capturedthem in Sami, or if another school has al-ready entered these details.
The system will automatically generateemails to relevant officials to alert them tocases needing attention.
Access to the data is limited to principalsand officials on various levels to ensureconfidentiality.
Free access to Cape PointSouth Africans can enjoy free access toCape Point during SANParks Weekwhich runs from Monday 8 to Saturday13 September.Children are the big winners at Cape
Point, based in the Cape of Good Hopesection of Table Mountain NationalPark, as they get a free trip on the legen-dary Flying Dutchman Funicular and afreemeal at the TwoOceans Restaurant,if accompanied by a paying adult.For every return adult ticket bought

dren receive a free meal for every mainmeal ordered by a parent.The Cape of Good Hope is open seven

You can’t just say what you like. Not in person – for thosewith courage – and certainly not via social media.
Too many people think – mistakenly – that Facebook,Twitter and Instagram allow individuals and groups freereign to speak their mind. Not so.
This is the thinking of unintelligent cowardice thathides behind security settings. Anonymity on social me-dia is an illusion.
It is also a domain that, contrary to any attempts at se-crecy or even use of code language, can and is circumvent-ed.
How so? Because, free speaker, people talk. Even thoseindividuals some may consider close associates spill thebeans when their own safety, job security or status in soci-ety – however imagined – is threatened.
Who, then, stands on the side of the free speaker? Lookaround you and count them. Perhaps not even one?
There have been court cases in which people who ventvia social media have been brought to book.
A group of Strandfontein girls have found out how de-meaning others can be when their photos were used onFacebook to harm their character.
The photos were found to have been sourced from thegirls’ own Facebook posts and reused elsewhere withouttheir permission or even knowledge. This Facebook pagehas subsequently been closed.
Is there really such a place or space where people cansay just as they please? Hardly likely when the aim is todemean, break down the character of another for whatev-er criminal or petty reason, or simply because they thinkthey can get away with it.
The hour glass turns against such actions. Beyond thesheer childishness of it, there is a resident evil that re-sides within the character of a person who seeks redressthrough social media. Then, again, if Facebook is youronly friend, such people should seriously look in the mir-ror. Actions, like cyber-bullying, have consequences.
Biodiversity a key assetThe Wildlife and Environment Society ofSouth Africa (Wessa) commends the City ofCape Town for its request to provincial gov-ernment to declare Cape Town as a biore-gion, a status – if granted – that should helpconserve some of its 19 national veld types.Ten of these, such as Peninsula Shale Renos-terveld and Cape Flats Sand Fynbos, are crit-ically endangered.
Wessa is particularly pleased to see the in-tention to “protect and restore” being firmlystated. So often the “balance between urbandevelopment and environmental protec-tion” involves a steady succession of cumu-lative impacts that erodes natural capitaland eco-system services. The need for resto-ration is well acknowledged.
The five-pillar concept that the City cur-
rently uses to guide its decision-making in-cludes opportunity creation, safety, caring,inclusivity and efficient management. Therecognition of biodiversity as a key asset toCape Town underpinning much of its eco-nomic activity and physical functioningsuggests these pillars should be founded inour natural environment and not built at itsexpense.
In the face of gloomy state of the environ-ment reports it is heartening to see a largeadministrative body taking such an impor-tant step and Wessa is hopeful the requestwill be favourably received and emulated byother cities. Wessa urges the public to be-come involved in the active realisation ofthis initiative.WESSA STATEMENT
There are opportunitiesSo unemployment and poverty are some ofthe things ruling our lives at the moment?It really does not have to be that way. Wesearch the internet and there’s a job; we readthe newspapers and there’s a vacancy adver-tised; we open People’s Post and there’s anopportunity waiting to be snapped up by oneof us.
Yes, jobs and study opportunities are allaround us, readily available. Easier saidthan done, you might say? I agree.
We should challenge one another to takethat first step to success. Recruiters and aca-demic institutions, please continue to adver-
tise jobs and opportunities in our communi-ty newspapers. These newspapers, such asPeople’s Post, are sometimes the only way inwhich people can view career opportunities.The simple reason is that most of us do nothave access to the internet or even moneyfor food, let alone for a newspaper. Youmight just snap up our country’s “next bigthing”!
Congratulations and all the best to Lucin-da Evans and the 23 youth taking part in thetraining and skills programme at Cafda. Youguys inspire and motivate us.JOHN ALEXANDER MOUERS
Help future driversSchool children need only 30% to pass mat-ric.
When I went for my motorbike learner’slicence I had to stand in a long queue to fillin forms and then have an eye test. Fromthere it was back to a long queue and thenget a driver’s learner test date months in ad-vance.
As the standards are high I failed and be-came despondent. I could not help wonder-ing how many other potential learners, afterfailing, drive illegally.
I believe there has to be another approach
to these tests. I propose that all potentiallearners have to have an eye test and paya small fee to attend a two-hour class givenby a competent teacher. On attending thisclass a certificate must be issued. Two dayslater the learners are to be subjected to an-other class for an hour and then given a test.
If they fail this process should be repeatedtwo days later. I believe this will encouragelearners to get their licence and that nega-tive comments will be a thing of the past.KEITH BLAKEEmail
Home is ingood handsIt has been almost three years since I walkedthrough the doors of the Kensington Homefor the Aged to take over the operationalmanagement of the home. It was during thistime when the local community made thecomment that “donations would enter thefront door and exit through the back door ofthe home”.
Together with the board of managementwe have worked very hard to change the neg-ative perceptions that have prevailed. I cannow state with the utmost confidence thatvery stringent measures have been put inplace to ensure every single donation or con-tribution is recorded and distributed accord-ingly.
The donor is also immediately issued witha receipt in acknowledgement of the dona-tion. This system ensures that the donationreaches the intended recipients which areour aged residents.
An indication that the management of ourdonations is working effectively is the factthat during July we did not have to purchaseany food provisions at all.
The donations which we received wereenough to sustain the residents for the dura-tion of the month.
We are most grateful to our faithful donorsand the wider community in the WesternCape for having made this possible.
I am also very pleased to advise that theupgrading of the home is in the pipeline.
Thanks to an undertaking from a promi-nent corporate, the home will undergo ex-tensive re-modelling by a team of architectsto ensure it meets first-world standards.
Although the home is dependent on thegenerosity and goodwill of benefactors andthe local community, the managementboard and staff make every effort to generatean income through fundraising events. Weappeal to our local community to supportour fundraising events.
There will be a Spring ball in the Kensing-ton Civic Centre on Friday 19 September andour high tea in the Good Shepherd Parishhall on Sunday 9 November.

Rock musical set toblast off at ArtscapeSouth Africa’s biggest, fully orchestrat-
ed, technologically sophisticated rockmusical production,Rockville 2069, will
have its world premierewith the Cape TownPhilharmonic Orchestra (CPO) at ArtscapeOpera House this month.Set during the 100th anniversary of Wood-

Joseph Clark (ofQueen at the Opera) and theKyle Petersen seven-piece rock band, it com-bines artists and musicians from differentcultural and musical backgrounds to bringa new, sometimes discordant, always thrill-ing voice to the musical scene.The lead roles will be played by Joseph
Clark (Papa), Vicki Jayne (Mama), StephanVanHuyssteen (JohnnyReb) and Josie Piers(Danielle). With fast moving scene changes,the use of 3D animation and a 100 squareme-tre LED screen, technology plays a key role

Only Rockville, a small archipelagoof islands, survives and is now home to agroup of peace-loving rockers, sound techni-cians and musicians.“The addition of the CPO is a show-stop-

PEOPLE'S POST | CLAREMONT | RONDEBOSCHThursday, 28 August 2014 SPORT 15
TASMIN CUPIDO@TazzCup
The challenge for the WP Rugby’s SuperLeague A Grand Challenge trophy cul-minates this weekend.
But the UCT boys will have their titlehopes and fate in the hands of one of theirbiggest rivals, Hamiltons RFC, as the menfrom Green Point travel to Stellenbosch totake on Maties on Saturday.The Ikey Tigers played their final match
of the first round, which determines the ulti-matewinners of the top tier of Cape club rug-by, when they took on Victorians in Stellen-bosch last Friday evening.And they continued with the superb form
they have shown throughout the season,thumpingVics 20-71 at theDanieCravenSta-dium.Going into this weekend’s clashes, Ikeys,
who will not be in action this weekend, willremain at the top of the league – just threepoints ahead of Maties.But Hammies, who are currently in third
place on 56 points, will face amammoth taskon Saturday. Maties are the only unbeatenteam in the league and will look to snatchthe top spot and trophy from their arch ri-vals – especially after their losses to UCT inthe Varsity Cup.
The Maties/Hammies encounter will un-doubtedly be the biggest clash of the SLA.The other SLA results of Southern Sub-
urbs teams last weekend: SK Walmers vsDurb-Bell 5-68; Hammies vs Tygerberg 45-19;False Bay vs Bellville 68-0; Primrose vs Mat-ies 17-50.ThisweekendSouthernSuburbswill be in
action in the following SLAmatches: Matiesvs Hamiltons; UWC vs Primrose; Victoriansvs SK Walmers; False Bay vs NNK.
V In Super League B, the biggest clash thisweekendwill see Villager RFC host Sir Low-rians in a top-of-the-table clash in Clare-mont.The Dirty Whites will look to improve on
their 7-5 victory overPnielVillagers last Fri-day evening. The match will also determinethe SLBwinner and automatic SLAcontend-er for next weekend.Meanwhile, Surrey Estate Rangers will
travel to the Northern Suburbs to take onBrackenfell RFC. Rangers will look to puttheir 12-24 loss to rivalsCollegians lastweek-end behind them as they tackle a side accus-tomed to playing at their muddy home.The Surrey Estate side are still awaiting
the outcome of their scheduled matchagainst Sir Lowrians two weeks ago. Thematch was called off by the referee as thefield was deemed unsuitable for play. WP
Rugbyhas yet tomake a decision on themat-ter.Collegians will look to continue their win-
ning momentum as they host GoodwoodRFC in Lentegeur.
V In Super League C Violets RFC contin-ued their winning form when they beatRaithbyUniversals 23-19 atChukkerRoad inLansdowne last Saturday; MIT Rangerswere defeated 7-11 by Stellenbosch-Corona-tions; and Silvertree RFC played to an 18-18stalemate with Northerns at Malta Park inSybrand Park.This weekend sees the following Southern
Suburbs teams in action in SLC: Fran-schhoek United vs Violets; Northerns vsMIT Rangers; and Silvertree vs Strand.
V The following matches will be played inthe Champions League this weekend: YoungStars vs YoungWesleys and Masiphumelelevs Young Ideas.
V In the Southern League, the followingteams will do battle: Titans vs Thistle; Re-treat vs Richmond Rangers; Peninsula vsYoung Brothers; and Bishop Lavis vs Rock-lands.
V The City League will see the followingmatches being played: Police vs Temper-ance-Cities; Progress vs Hamediehs; Watso-nia vs Perseverance; and Tech-Gardens vsBusy Bees.

Success for ASD at Engen KOTASMIN CUPIDO
@TazzCup
ASDCape Townhave lifted theirmaidenEngen Knockout Challenge trophy af-ter beating Liverpool-Portland FC in
the tournament final at the weekend.The Claremont-based side scored one goal
to none to be crowned the Cape’s best under-17 team at Stephan Reagan Sports Complexin Westridge, Mitchell’s Plain on Sunday 24August. The lone goal came from the boot ofstriker Caleb Sampson.The 11th edition of the tournament, of
which People’s Post is the print media spon-sor, saw 16 teams from across the peninsulavie for the coveted title, hefty cash prize andtrophy.The final was an evenly contested affair,
despite ASD, who were the losing finalistslast year, dominating both the territory andpossession statistics throughout the match.The local lads fromPortlandwere the first
side to bother the goalkeeper in the firstquarter, as a strike from outside the boxwassaved by ASD goalkeeper Darren Johnson.The shot brushed Johnson’s fingertips andwent out for a corner.The corner kick was punched out by the
goalkeeper as he moved out of the box andthe deflection fell into the lap of a Liverpool-Portland player, who struck a shot on thevolley. But his shot hit the crossbar.In the secondquarter,ASDagaindominat-
ed the statistics and started to put the pres-sure on the Liverpool-Portland defence.While they managed to penetrate the defen-sive line, their attacks on goal were dealtwith by the Liverpool-Portland goalkeeper,who was the team’s stand-out performer.At the death of the first half, ASD threat-
ened to score again, but the Liverpool-Port-land ’keeperwas again up to the task, savinghis side from going into the half-time breaka goal down.The second half continued as the first,
with both teamsmanaging to break throughthe other’s defence, but their weak shots ongoal were easily kept away from the net byboth goalkeepers.Twelve minutes into the half Liverpool-
Portland and their fans were celebrating asthey thought they had scored the openinggoal when a shot found the net. But their cel-ebrationswere short-livedas refereeJeromeDamon blew his whistle when the assistantreferee found the “goalscorer” to be offside.A fewminutes later, the tournamentmade
history as the first female referee, NoleneSwarts, took over the whistle from Damon
who was injured during the course of thematch.And it was just five minutes later that
Sampson sunk the hopes of Liverpool-Port-land and their supporters, bringing an endto their dream run.ASD will now represent the Cape at the
EngenChampsofChamps inSoweto inOcto-ber. They will take on PE Sundowns, Ama-Zulu, Harmony Academy, Supersport Unit-ed Academy and Bidvest Wits Juniors, whoall won the Engen Knockout Challenge intheir respective regions.This year’s Cape Town Challenge lived up
to its theme of Be Your Best, as several play-ers stood out throughout the weekend. Hel-lenic FC’s Riyaaz Ismail was named the de-fender of the tournament for his modern-style of play, marshalling his team and
aiding on attack when necessary.The best striker was Glendene United’s
Jody Jansen, who scored eight goals, heldthe ballwell and ran into spaces. Hewas alsothe tournament’s top goalscorer.Johnson, who conceded only three goals
throughout the weekend, was named goal-keeper of the tournament, while ChippaUnited’s Heinrich van Zyl was rewarded forthe tournament’s first hat-trick and quick-est goal.The player of the tournament was also
named thebestmidfielder –AtlanticNacion-al’s Robyn-Lee Baatjies walked away withboth accolades.Grassy Park’s Crusaders FC won the fair
play team of the tournament award for theirexemplary discipline on and off the field;Liverpool-Portland coach Mark Brown won
coach of the tournament; andMandizeMziziof Cape District LFA was named referee ofthe tournament.V For more photos of the Engen Knockout Challenge,visit www.peoplespost.co.za.
