TRANSPORT: RESIDENTS’ SECURITY FEAR OF INSTALLING ATMS AT WITTEBOME STATION
Upgrade sparks concernMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Aplan by the Passenger Rail Agency ofSouth Africa (Prasa) to refurbish Wit-tebome train station has raised the ire
of Wynberg residents and businesses.The station will see a R2m upgrade as part
of Prasa Corporate Real Estate Solutions’(Cres) station improvement programme.
The improvements are aimed at betteringcommuter experience and includes the re-furbishment of the ablution facilities, wait-ing areas and station buildings.
During a walkabout of the station lastweek, residents raised the alarm about aplan to install two ATMs at the refurbishedstation.
Resident Jeanette Stoffels says she wassurprised to see workmen carrying out im-provements to the station. She was evenmore surprised to learnPrasa intended to in-stall two ATMs and kiosks at the station.
She is concerned about the safety at thesubways linking the station to CastletownRoad, following a recent spate of robberies.
“ATMs are such a bad idea. One of the twosubways in Casteltown Road already posesa safety risk and now they want to installATMs in the second one. This will only leadto an increase in crime,” she says.
Prasa Cres regional manager LindeloMatya confirms the installation ofATMs.Hesays the ATMs are being installed for com-muter convenience and to assist the stationto recover running costs.
Over the last three months, Wynberg po-lice have continually raised concerns aboutillicit activities taking place in the subwaysbetween Wynberg and Wittebome train sta-tions.
Patrols in the area have increased follow-ing a spate of robberies. One arrest wasmade.
Business man John Esbach questionedwhether additional security will be placedat the station.
“They are also making space for kiosks ;one can only wonder who is going to operatethere, as this is a very quiet station withhardly any foot traffic,” he says.
Prasa has not finalised the kiosk vendorlist but aims to improve the stationwith con-venience shops.
“The idea is to also generate increased ac-tivity within the station precinct and inte-
grate the station activities with the commu-nity,” Matya says.
“This is a general trend worldwide; tochange the use of stations from basic trans-port to something of more value and benefitto the community.”
Wynberg police spokespersonWarrantOf-ficer Silvino Davids says they were notawareof theplans to install anATM,but alsofears the security risks.
“We have not been informed of the ATMsand we do not know whether Prasa and
Metrorail have a security plan in place,” hesays.
But Matya says 24-hour security will beprovided at the station. “The considerationsof providing commuter convenience far out-weighs the security concerns. The City ofCape Town is responsible for all street-to-street subways, including aspects that relateto their use and safety in around the trans-port interchanges,” he says.
Matya says theATMswill not be closed offat night and the banks will have to conduct
their own risk assessments.“However, we will have 24-hour security
to protect the station’s assets and installa-tions,” he says.
Davids fears people using the ATMs willbe followed by criminals. He says possiblerobberies will occur off the premises.
“What happens when people leave the sta-tion? Their safety will become the responsi-bility of police and we will have to stretchour resources andmanpower even further,”he says.

BUSINESS: NEW BOOZE REGULATIONS
Cheers to new liquor bylaw?NADINE MOODIE
@NadineMoodie1
Your favourite tipple spot or store mayhave longer tradinghours comeFebru-ary next year.
This as anew liquor bylawwill be promul-gated in the Provincial GovernmentGazettenext month.
It will repeal all existing bylaws con-cerned with the sale of liquor in the City ofCape Town.
Mayoral Committee member for Econom-ic, Environmental and Spatial PlanningGarreth Bloor says the new bylaw is expect-ed to come into effect on Saturday 1 Febru-ary. “The new bylaw is not an amendmentof the previous bylaw – it is a complete revi-sion,” Bloor says.
The draft bylaw was developed to providecouncil with the ability to regulate and po-lice the sale of alcohol in bars, clubs, hotelsand shops while allowing responsible estab-lishments to apply for extensions of theirtrading hours.
Bloor says it is “more comprehensive”than the previous bylaw as it sets out all thecompetencieswhich theCity has to regulateliquor undertakings.
It also makes provision on safety and se-curity, and noise nuisances.
“Businesses may now apply for the exten-sion of trading hours during the week andon Sundays for off-consumption trade. Ac-cording to the existing bylaw, the applica-tion for the extension of trading hours canonly be made for on-consumption undertak-ings,” Bloor says.
Applications for the extension of on-con-sumption trading hours will continue asnormal.
However, applications for extension ofoff-consumption trading hours can only be
made when the new bylawis gazetted.
But the new bylaw hasnot been welcomed by all.
City resident Linda Cor-nelius says she opposes thependingbylaw. “It’s not go-ing to work. In my commu-nity we’ve had proposalsfor liquor stores and eachtime neighbours have op-posed it,” she says.
James Fernie, agreesand says he can’t supportthe new bylaw.
“People have enough ac-cess to liquor onother days. Somany signifi-cant social issues are related to alcohol,”Fernie says.
But Graham Halse disagrees and says thenew hours will benefit traders.
“Thiswill be a toss-up between trading re-sponsibly and benefiting the economy. Weshould do more to help employment which,in turn, will improve society,” he says.
Brandon Gomez, a liquor chain storemanager, says the bylaws will only affectcertain communities and only some shopswill be open on Sundays.
Clive January, also a liquor store manag-er, says their trading hours will remain thesame; they won’t apply for an extension oftheir trading hours.
Bloor says the new bylaw also requiressubcouncils to consultwith communities onwhether an establishment should be grant-ed an extension on the trading days andhours. Extensions of tradinghours anddayswill only be granted under “certain circum-stances”, based on consideration of the out-come of public participation, the potentialimpact on surrounding environments, theproximity of the licensed premises to resi-
dential areas and culturaland religious or educa-tional facilities.
The track record of theapplicant will be taken in-to consideration.
This includes previoussuspensions, amend-ments, revocation andcomplaints, planning andzoning requirements, mo-tivation from the appli-cant to deal with potentialnegative impacts from op-erations and the validityof the liquor license and
business license.Elton Oosthuizen, chairperson of a local
liquor traders’ association, says they arepleased with the new bylaw.
“We have a case pending in the WesternCape High Court about this issue. The cur-rent bylaw affected us negatively; our maintrading days and times are Sundays and af-ter hours. We just want to trade until 20:00.In the past, we were a part of the shebeenersassociation, then theCity regulated us. Nowthe bylaws govern our businesses,” Oosthu-izen says.
TheCityheld two rounds of public partici-pation before the draft bylaw was compiled.“The first was in April and received 731 in-puts. The second was in October, where 97handwritten submissions, 134 emails and 18technical inputs to the draft bylaw were re-ceived. A total of 300 people attended the in-formation sessions at the Good Hope Centreas part of the second round of public partici-pation,” he says.
The bylaw will only be promulgated inFebruary as all processes, such as extensivepublic participation and council adoption,need to be completed.

DIEP RIVER: CPF PLANS OF ACTION REAPS REWARDS
Stepping up to curb crimeMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Community initiatives to keep the DiepRiver police precinct safe have paid off.These were the sentiments expressed
by Michael Kent chairperson of the DiepRiver Community Police Forum (CPF) an-nual meeting this week.Giving an update on activities, Kent said
theCPF conducted 10 visits toDiepRiver Po-lice Station each month and compiled a re-port.“Five in the day and five at night. Here we
look at who is on duty, the conditions of thecells and to see whether there are any com-plaints,” he said.Kent lauded police for their hardwork and
said the precinct which covered the area be-
tweenConstantiaNekandOtterywas a diffi-cult area to police.“Theprecinct consists of two sectorswhen
it should consist of four. The officers are thelife of the station and go over and above thecall of duty to assist the community,” hesays.Kent issued a warning about “fancy super
cars” in the precinct and said they shouldnot be mistaken for belonging residents.“In the past year we have found that these
cars are being used as getaway cars and areused to blend in with the community,” hesaid.In his crime report, Diep River police
spokesperson Warrant Officer Keith Chan-dler said on average the precinct saw morethan 780 000 people enter the area each day.He said crime trends between 2012 and
2013 indicated most crimes took place onThursdays.“The safest days in the precinct are Fri-
days and Sundays. It’s on these days thatmost police reservists are active,” Chandlersaid.Throughout 2013, reservists in the pre-
cinct worked more than double their re-quired shifts in a week.Combined, they are expected to complete
240 hours of service each month but havemanaged to completed between 400 and 600hours.In November, reservists clocked a record-
breaking 777 hours.In his presentation, CecilWatts of theCon-
stantia Valley Watches Association ap-pealed to businesses to assist communitysafety initiatives.
The association which includes, nineneighbourhoodwatches across the valley in-tends to pool resources andworkwith policeand the CPFs to drive community safety ini-tiatives.Watts said in addition to a community ra-
dio network at the Constantia Valley Infor-mation Centre, the association will now belinked to Metro Police.In a meeting with the City of Cape Town’s
Mayoral Committee member for Safety andSecurity, JP Smith, the association was in-formed they would be equipped with a radiowhich linked to the Metro Police controlroom.“We have developed a network we can all
be proud of. We need businesses to come on-board and support the community initia-tives to keep our valley safe,” Watts said.

Celebratinga legacy
Capetonians united in their grief duringa special tribute ceremony held at theCapeTownStadium last night (Wednes-
day).Former president Nelson Mandela passedaway last Thursday in his Houghton homein Johannesburg. Madiba died peacefullysurrounded by his family at 20.50.Here is what People’s Post readers had tosay about the end of Madiba’s long walk tofreedom and the legacy he leaves behind.
ZUKO XUBA says Nelson Mandela deserves theglobal attention his passing has brought.“Hebrought about a new beginning. He brought peaceto the nation. Viva Madiba.”
ROSH BATCHLOR says self-empowerment is oneof the most important lessons Madiba taught thenation. “Tata Mandela encouraged us to have ed-ucation. He always said that we must learn, workhard, sacrifice and we will succeed in life.”
SONICA ERASMUS believes Nelson Mandela’s leg-acy and all he stood for will live on. “He wanteda free South Africa and he died knowing that hehad achieved it.”
ELENOR RICHARDS says the Father of the Nationwill never be forgotten. “He was a forgiving man.He spent most of his time in prison but he neverheld a grudge. He was a man of God.”
ELIZABETH MPAMBANE believes Mandelabrought change to the world by forgiving and em-bracing those who wronged him. “People shouldfollow the steps of Madiba. Another person wouldhave said ‘Kill the whites,’ but he forgave them.”
LEILANI SAMUELS believes Mandela ultimatelysacrificed his life for South Africans. “Spendingall that time in prison never made him a bitterman. Instead it made him an honourable man.”
MARIAAN BESTER says people should try to emu-late the sterling example the former presidentset. “Madiba taught us unity and forgiveness. Weshould all behave like the old man. If Nelson Man-dela can forgive, so can we.”

As the festive season approaches, thePlumstead Neighbourhood Watchplans to step up patrols.
Speaking during the watch’s annualmeeting last week, chairperson AndrewLillie says more patrollers were needed.Looking back at the year gone by, Lillie
thankedpatrollers for their dedicationandcalled on residents to participate in safetyinitiatives.In his crime report, Diep River Police
spokespersonWarrantOfficerKeithChan-dler said while property-related crimeswere decreasing, armed robberies inPlumstead were increasing.He said of the 11 armed robbery cases re-
ported recently, eight arrests have beenmade.“This brings our solvency rate to 70% for
armed robberies. Areas affected includeMain,Victoria andGabriel roads.Weneedto look at our community and ask peopleto avoid carrying large amounts of cash,”he said.Chandler says police have confiscated
four firearms two which have been linkedto murders.According to the latest trends, property-
related crimes in Plumstead have de-creased by 12%.Chandler says between 2012 and 2013,
Thursdays were the worst crime days.“In this precinct we have found an in-
crease in various crimes including theftout of motor vehicles and residential bur-glaries on a Thursday,” he said.Police are concerned about the amount
of garages being targeted and have askedresidents to ensure their properties arewell lit.“During 2013, our reservists have done
a stunning job by tripling the amount ofhours they are required to complete. Wewould also like to thank the neighbour-hoodwatch and patrollers for their dedica-tion in keeping Plumstead safe,” Chandlersaid.In his report Mike Voortman, chairman
of the Constantia Valley Watches Associa-tion, said the associationwere looking intoimproving current safety mechanisms inthe valley.
He explained the association workedclosely with Community Police Forumsand police officers fromWynberg, Kirsten-hof andDiep River police stations to devel-op a plan tomake community safety initia-tives like the Constantia Valley Informa-tion Centre (CVIC) financiallysustainable.He said the plan was to provide support
to all neighbourhoodwatches in the valleyand share resources where necessary.“Currently we are looking at employing
a full-time camera controller at the centre.Matching of vehicles and informationtakes hours and the job is currently the re-sponsibility of the radio controllers,” hesaid.Voortmanexplained the objectivewas to
make the valley safe for its residents.“Weall have tohelp to keep the area safe.
The skollies you find in Constantia are thesame skollies you find in Plumstead. If wework togetherwe canhelp prevent crime,”he said.

FINANCE: SOCIAL GRANT AGENCY TO RELOOK PROCESS
Relief as Sassahalts reviewsMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
The South African Social SecurityAgency (Sassa) has suspended allgrant reviews until 2014.
Last week, crowds gathered at variouscentres to ensure their grants were re-viewed in time.
Recipients vented their frustration at thelack of service after queuing for severalhours.
Sassa regional executive manager DrWaldie Terreblanche says confusion be-tween two projects, namely the re-registra-tion and reviews, caused confusion amongrecipients.
While the re-registration was completedin October, recipients also received lettersfrom Sassa informing them their grantswere under review. “We needed to see
whether recipients were still eligible for thegrants,” Terreblanche says.
He says officials became swamped withthe amount of recipients who showed upand a decision was taken to cancel the re-views.
“Recipients who received review lettersare asked to ignore the letters and note theirgrants will not be stopped,” he says.
Terreblanche says the reviews were caus-ing problems as recipients queued in theearly hours of the morning to be first inline.
Terreblanche says Sassa will now be go-ing back to the drawing board to work ona review policy for social grants.
“We will look at how the system worksand how it can be improved. We were inun-dated with grant recipients and are notproud of the service we delivered in thistime,” he says.

son Nodumiso Marman says the previousevent held at Strandfontein Beach attract-ed more than 1000 children.This year the event has been moved to
HoutBayBeachandwill takeplace onTues-day 17 December from 08:00 to 14:00.“The event is aimed at creating aware-
ness about safety at beaches and pools dur-
ing the summer season,” she says.The event is held in partnership with the
provincial Department of Cultural Affairsand Sport and the City of Cape Town.A big walk and beach clean-up will start
at theHoutBayHarbourand finishatChap-man’s Peak.“With the number of drownings each

roundings and help keep our beachesclean.”She says the team will also focus on the
importance of saving water this summer.V For more information phone Nondumiso Marmanon 076 708 4746.
‘Council’ conmen on the prowlBe on high alert – there are criminals pos-ing as council officials in order to gain easyaccess into unsuspecting household androb families of their possessions.Ernest Sonnenberg, Mayoral Committee
member for Utility Services, says it is un-derstood that individuals are approachinghomes claiming to be from the City of CapeTown’s Water and Sanitation Department.They then insist they need to install
shower heads.“We are urging residents to demand that
identity cards are presented before lettinganyone into their homes. These cardsshould, as a matter of procedure, be clearlyvisible on the person at all times. This cardwill display a photo of the official,” he says.All council staff are issued with these
identifiers. “Residents have the right to in-sist on seeing the card before allowing
someone to enter their home,” he says.Sonnenberg says on someoccasions crim-
inals claimed to be from Eskom, allegingthey need to install new bulbs or put reflec-tive lights on the gates.“The reports we have received indicate
that these individuals are criminals whoare robbing residents at gunpoint, and notCity officials,” he says.“The City is not running these pro-
grammes and the individuals are not work-ing for the City. It is our practice to informresidents ahead of the timewhenwe are go-ing to be running programmes or projectsin their areas.”Homeowners are advised to report any
suspicious activity in their community tothe police.Alternatively, Call the City of Cape
Town’s call centre on 0860 103 089.

Back with a bangThe legendary South African rock band
Falling Mirror returns to the stage ofthe Baxter Theatre after a whirlwind
journey.In the ’80s the bandproduced twobig radio
singles, Johnny Calls the Chemist and Neu-tron Bop, and toured extensively while re-leasing half a dozen albums.
But fate intervened and lead singerNielenMarais wound up homeless, living in ahedge in Cape Town.
Now, after 20 years of silence, the band re-turns after a music promoter found Maraisand reunited the band.
They have since been booked for an ap-pearance at the famous American outdoor
music festival, Coachella.As the band was recapturing their former
glory, lead guitarist Allan Faull was settingdown guitar tracks in a recording studiowhen he suffered a major heart attack.
However, the band has decided the showmust go on, and Los Angeles and Coachellaare still on the cards.
But first there’s a must-not-miss concertonMonday 16 December at the Baxter Thea-tre.
Tickets are available at www.computick-et.com or 083 915 8000.V People’s Post is giving away 10 sets of tickets tothe show. Enter the competition at www.peoples-post.co.za.

Nelson Mandela’s struggle is over.But not his legacy.South Africa is in a prime position to forge a future re-
splendent with living examples of how we have truly hon-oured Madiba’s magic.And that magic is still present.One need only hop onto any of the social network sites.Profiles sharing Barack Obama’s deeply moving speech,
liking selected Mandela quotes, writing achingly sincereand heartfelt tweets – all physical expressions of our griefand our elation.Yes, elation. Many have divested themselves of refined
prejudice and polished racism.Many are free of the blinkers. And they feel fantastic.Many now understand the world in an altered and more
informed context.Elation. Freedom. And the recognition that we share this
countrywith somanyothers, somanypeoplewhoare differ-ent than us, so many who don’t conform to the previous col-lective comfortable and bigoted notions of How ThingsOught to Be.Nelson Mandela shifted a world’s thinking.And he was only human.Imagine what could be achieved if we all strived towards
being less selfish?And let’s abandon the word tolerance. That denotes that
some level – a smidgen – of disdain still lingers.Nelson Mandela accepted the fact he shares this country,
this world, with people markedly different to him.People of different backgrounds as well as different politi-
cal, cultural and religious beliefs.He made it work.That is why we mourn such a great man.He showedus that peace andunderstanding andharmony
aren’t elusive abstract ideas.They are very real.It’s all part of the Madiba magic within.Rest well, Tata.
Tata Madiba and the Jewish connectionWhen Helen Suzman visited Mandela onRobben Island, state security officialswarned her about associating with “oppo-nents” of South Africa but she persisted andmanaged to improve conditions on the is-land.Mandela thought it was an odd and won-
derful sight to see this “courageous womanpeering into our cells and strolling aroundour courtyard. She was the first and onlywoman ever to grace our cells”.Suzman recognised his leadership quali-
ties when she first met him in 1967 and shetold Prime Minister Botha that he shouldmeet him as she was convinced that Mande-la’s presence at the negotiating table was es-sential for a peaceful future, probably theirlast hope.Possibly that was the reason she was de-
nied permission to visit Mandela for a cou-ple of years after that.Things became easier once he had moved
to Pollsmoor and the Victor Verster Prisonin Paarl and their friendship lasted until herdeath.Of the 156 people on trial for treason in
1956 alongside Nelson Mandela were 23whites, fourteen of whom were Jewish.Philip Krawitz received death threats and
public criticism when, as Chamber of Com-merce president in 1985, he called forMande-la’s release and meaningful negotiations be-tween all parties.When this had no effect, he arranged se-
cret meetings in his home between the ANCand politicians.When Mandela was finally released from
prison in 1990, the South African JewishBoard of Deputies issued a press statementpraising the government’s decision, hopingfor “an atmosphere for the establishment ofgenuine democracy for the benefit of thecountry and all its peoples.”Shortly beforeMandela’s inauguration on
10May 1994 as SouthAfrica’s first democrat-ically elected president, the Jewish Board ofDeputies invited him to attend shul prior tothe opening of Parliament.He agreed to visit the Marais Road Syna-
gogue, inSeaPoint, to comeandalleviate thefears of the Jewish minority.This was history in the making. After 50
years of the Group Areas Act, there was ablack man with a white yarmulke, brandedas a terrorist for years, standing in a packed
synagogue, reassuring the community andpraising the involvement of Jews in the anti-apartheid struggle.He told the congregation that it was Jew-
ish attorney Lazar Sidelsky who had givenhim articles at a time when it was virtuallyimpossible to article a black law clerk.Suchwas themeasure of themanwhohav-
ing finally gained the freedom of the blackmajority, instead of savouring his triumph,took the trouble to reassure the small Jewishminoritywithin theminoritywhite commu-nity that they too mattered, that they tooformed part of the SouthAfrican society andthat he counted on them to help make thecountry great.“You have nothing to fear from an ANC-
led government,” he told them. He also saidthat he supported the existence of Israel butalso backed the rights of Palestinians tohave their own homeland.Mandela understood the issues that con-
front the Jewish community and wrote tothe Board in 2003 stating that “the struggleagainst prejudice has not been an easy one,for many years Jewish South Africans werethe targets of religious bigotry, racism andfrequently outright discrimination, both atthe social and institutional levels.As a small religious and ethnic minority,
Jews were always vulnerable to this kind oftreatment”.When we look out across Table Bay, the
horizon is dominated by Robben Island,whose infamy as a dungeon built to stifle thespirit of freedom is as old as colonialism inSouth Africa.The struggle for democracy has never
been amatter pursued by one race, class, re-ligious community or gender among SouthAfricans.In honouring those who fought to see this
day arrive, we honour the best sons anddaughters of all our people.We can count amongst themAfricans, Col-
oureds, Whites, Indians, Muslims, Chris-tians, Hindus, Jews – all of them united bya common vision of a better life for the peo-ple of this country.The Jews of Cape Town salute this great
manwhohas changed the future and the faceof South Africa and honour his legacy.

.What a disgrace that the elderly aretreated with such disrespect after contribut-ing to our country. We all deserve our pen-sions.
. I think more facilities should be openedor the (operating) hours and days should beextended to accommodate the elderly. Oneday in theweek is not enough. I also feel Sas-sa staff, especially the young should learn tobemore respectable towards their elders, be-cause some of them really do not know howto talk to them. I also feel they can at leastoffer the elderly a cup of tea or coffee toshorten the wait. I am sure they do not eatbefore leaving their homes and someof themmight not even have food to take with them.Please, they need to be treated with the re-spect they deserve.
. (It is a) shocking situation – abuse of theaged. Many of us are on chronic medicationand have no transport.
. Sassa should extend the date for the pen-sioners. Felicia
. I went (to Sassa) six times – each timeat 05:00. They should put up a letter statingthey need copies of your ID, a three-monthbankstatement, divorcepapers, death certif-icates and everything needs to be certified.The letter does not tell you to go to WilliamHerbert and there was nothing on radio orin the newspapers. The elderly are treatedlike dogs. Johanna
.My husband and I were turned awayfrom William Herbert twice. There is nosuch thing that you are sent to the local of-fice on Thursdays. I suggest they open morevenues for the aged. It’s disgraceful to expectold people to come out in the early hours toqueue in the rain until the gates open 08:00.C. Jason.
.Why do some people always say the po-lice are under-resourced?Or the police comeafterwards, when the deed has been done.Surely someone has to answer – the ANCperhaps?
. I amwatching the broadcast aboutMan-dela’s passing and I am very sad because weknew this day would come. But now it ishere, it is still a shock. To all SouthAfricans:my condolences, but let us remember himfor his greatness. RIP Tata.
. Thebestway for parents tokeep thekidsbusy: let them clean the streets they messday after day.

Both sides looked energetic in the openingminutes of theNational FirstDivision clash,as they battled to settle to the fast pace.Milano struck first when Lesvin Stoffels
headed home from a corner delivered by Fa-rouk Paulse from the team’s first attack inthe ninth minute.The home side started to gain momentum
after the 20th minute and grew with confi-dence as they went in search of the equalis-er.Ghanaian Mumuni Abubaker eventually
levelled matters in the 35th minute, finish-ing neatly after a one-two just outside the 18-yard area. Leopards continued to apply thepressure in the attacking third and struckthe woodwork twice before eventually tak-ing the lead.The hosts were awarded a penalty on the
stroke of half-time and striker David Zulustepped up to slot home with no hesitation.
Things only got better for Leopards as thematch progressed. First Milano’s on-formstriker Lesvin Stoffels was forced off due toa thigh injury, then the men from GrassyPark were reduced to 10 men when captainNazier Jacobs received a second yellowcard. Leopards had seven shots on target inthe second half, while ten-man Milano man-aged just three.The hosts failed to take advantage of the
extraman, while the Black andYellow couldnot pull one backwithout Jacobs pulling thestrings in midfield and Stoffels up front.
Despite the loss, Milano have held on tofirst place on the table, while fellow Capesides hold the remaining top four spots.Chippa are second following a 1-1 draw
against United FC in Philippi on Friday,Vasco da Gama are third after beating Afri-canWarriors 3-1 on Saturday and Santos arefourth following a 2-2 draw against BlackLeopards.None of the sides will be in action this
weekend as all fixtures have been postponeddue to the funeral of former president Nel-son Mandela.

A group of runners aim to cover a distancealmost three times the length of the Com-rades Marathon, in the Point Two Pointchallenge this weekend.Thirteen athletes will run 250km, non-
stop, from the Cape Point Lighthouse to theCape Agulhas Lighthouse.The group have set themselves a deadline
of 48 hours, but hope to complete the incredi-ble feat in only 36 hours.Event organiser and participant James
Davis is confident it’s possible, but admitshe is scared. “It’s massive – 250kms is nota great thing, but it is definitely somethingbig. You do get scared, apprehensive andnervous,” the Fish Hoek resident says.“(I am afraid) because I am asking 12 peo-
ple to do it with me. I worry for their safetyand health, but they are all willing partici-pants and we will feed off and each other,and just keep going.”The groupwill start their journey inMain
Road at 07:00 on Saturday 14 December.The route will take them onto Baden Pow-
ell Drive and then along the N2, all the wayto Cape Agulhas. None of the participantshave ever completed anything close to thedistance. Davis has run 110km, while Ar-mand du Plessis has completed 105km.Du Plessis, from Green Point, says he ex-
pects pain and nausea, but is confident hecan “deal with it”. “After over 100km youfeel knackered, thirsty – like you would kill
for a beer – but very satisfied,” he says.“There is an immense sense of satisfaction
that comes from being able to take up a chal-lenge like this and finish it. There is verylittle that can beat that feeling;whenyou fin-ish a race like the Comrades, you (feel likeyou) have conquered a personal mountain.”The runners been in training, running on
their own and meeting up at least once aweek to train as a group.Davis has also started running to and from
gym, and went as far raising his desk so hecould stand while working, in an attempt toget used to being on his feet for long periods.However, all of the runners agree mental
strength will be more important than physi-
cal strength. Bishopscourt resident DaniMascher says the Point Two Point is “waybeyond my comfort zone”.“It really is a mental thing. You can train
your body to a certain point, but after thatit is purely aboutwhether youhave themen-tal ability to push through,” she says.“It’s amazing how you can just carry on.
It hurts and you’re sore and tired, but youcan carry on going. By surrounding yourselfwith a group of awesome people and havingtheir support, you can’t go wrong such a sit-uation.”Davis initiated the idea while still at
school, but has decided to use the run as toraise awareness for three charities – PinkDrive, Back On Your Bike and the ChaseTanner Fund.All of the runners say thework of the char-
ities will help inspire them to the finish line.
