The sound of screeching tyres and speed-ing vehicles are becoming a commonoccurrence as motorists brazenly ig-
nore the speed limit along Kalk Bay MainRoad.
Resident John Silva says since the rehabil-itation of the road, the reckless driving hasincreased. He says he has raised his con-cerns with the City of Cape Town’s GhostSquad who have conducted operations in thearea. “The first time they came out they re-corded 62 traffic violations in a few hours.They came back a month later and recorded16 motorists overtaking illegally, 16 unli-censed drivers, two disobeying the trafficlight and three motorist who failed to indi-cate,” he says.
Silva and his wife experienced a near colli-sion a few weeks ago when a motorist re-fused to wait for him to turn into his garageand drove into oncoming traffic. “In orderto get into our garage we have to wait for
cars to pass and the garage to open. The vehi-cle behind me waited patiently as the trafficpassed and when it was clear I turned. Outof nowhere, another car comes speeding anddriving in the wrong direction,” he says.
He adds the occupants of the vehicle wereinebriated and laughingly apologised beforedriving off.
Silva is concerned about the safety of pe-destrians in the area and says if traffic calm-ing measures are not put in place, therewould be the “loss of life and limb”. “If youtry crossing this road you will be shockedby what you see,” he says.
“When approaching the road you lookright, left and right again; as you try to cross,a car comes speeding around the bend outof nowhere. We need speed cameras in thisarea to deter motorists from speeding.”
Richard Bosman, the City’s director forSafety and Security, says on their first visitin April, the Ghost Squad recorded 25 motor-ists disobeying barrier lines, 12 motoristsdriving on the wrong side of the road, 14 unli-
censed drivers and eight motorists whofailed to indicate when changing lanes.
He says they also found a vehicle with de-fective lights and a vehicle which was un-roadworthy.
“There have been four follow-up opera-tions from the Ghost Highway Unit since theApril operation, with a further total of 167fines issued for various offences. We record-ed an average of 41 offences during each op-eration,” he says.
Seven speeding operations have been con-ducted by the unit between May and August.They have recorded a total of 26 motoristsexceeding the speed limit of 60km/h. He saysthe highest speed recorded was 105km/h.
He says the fines issued for these offencesare still in circulation and an accurate fig-ure of how many fines have actually beenpaid could not be given at this time.
Bosman says once a request has beenmade for the erection of permanent speedcameras it will first be investigation by theCity’s Camera Review Committee.
“A speed survey is conducted using speedloops and all of the crash statistics for thelocation will be gathered and studied,” Bos-man says.
“Crash sites resulting in fatalities or seri-ous injuries over a three-year period will beconsidered, together with the results of thespeed survey.”
Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committeemember for Transport, says while no formalrequest for traffic calming measures hasbeen made, the City is reviewing the speedlimit to determine whether it would be ap-propriate to reduce it. “Kalk Bay Main Roadis an important arterial in the metropolitanroad network and raised calming measuressuch as speed humps would not be appropri-ate for the road. Effective speed enforcementis the appropriate solution to a speedingproblem on the road,” Herron says.
However, Silva says officials should alsoremember Kalk Bay is a residential area of-ten visited by tourists and stricter measuresare needed to deter speeding motorists.

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION: CRUCIAL TO FESTIVAL’S SUCCESS
Get ready for the Muizenberg FestMONIQUE DUVAL
Muizenberg residents are gearingup tocelebrate the history, developmentand diversity of the area with the
2014 Muizenberg Festival.The festival, which is set to take place in
October next year, is the brainchild of resi-dent Claire Homewood.The idea to host a festival came from the
previous street festivals held in PalmerRoad from 2009 to 2010.Homewoodsays the idea is to align the fes-
tival with the World Design Capital (WDC)theme Live Design; TransformLife. In align-ing with this theme, the festival will focuson the social, cultural, ecological and eco-nomic development of the area.“It’s about creating a platform to show-
caseMuizenberg’s commitment to creative,collaborative, community-led transforma-tion. The Muizenberg Festival will cele-brate the people, businesses, organisations,projects and perspectives that are workingtogether to develop our sustainability,” shesays.Festival organisers want the community
to get involved by presenting ideas and con-cepts to be showcased at the festival, whichwill take place at various locations in Mui-zenberg.Homewood says the festival aims to en-
courage interaction between diverse popu-lation groups, develop ownership anduse ofthe pavilion by the community and activatenew collaborative enterprises and projects.“The festival will be created by the com-
munity, through themany ideas, events andprojects.Wecan look forward toagenuinelyexciting and diverse programme,” she says.“One idea happening is the development
of a Made in Muizenberg brand. This willshowcase the many products, produce andideas coming out of Muizenberg. This will
encourageour local economyas itwillmakeit easy for the community and visitors tosupport everything that isMade in Muizen-berg,” she says.The festival organisers will hold an Open
Day on Saturday 14 September at the Mui-zenberg Pavilion from 14:00 to 17:00. Thecommunity is invited to attend the event,whichwill see the presentation of ideas andhave a sessionwhere the community can in-dicate what they would like included in thefestival.Open Streets, a citizen-driven initiative
which promotes the use and ownership ofpublic streets by the surrounding commu-nity, will host awalk-about on the day.Mar-cela Guerrero Casas explains the walkforms part of the Talking Streets series,where communities spend just over anhourwalking through a selected street and raise
concerns or bounce ideas of ways to im-prove the area. “Here people give their in-sights into a particular area, share storiesand raise concerns.With theplanningof thefestival, the walk will give those involveda very good look intowhat should be includ-ed in the festival,” Homewood says.With less than 13 months to go before the
festival,Homewood says communitypartic-ipation is important in ensuring the festivalruns smoothly. “The festival is still in itsearly stages and needs help, support andparticipation. We encourage the communi-ty to start thinking about how they can usetheir skills, talents and ideas to make Mui-zenberg amazing,” she says.V For more information on the festival [email protected] or [email protected] to join the mailing list.

After anine-yearbattleAndrevanHeer-den, developer of the SunnyacresShopping Centre, says he is delighted
the proposal to develop a filling station onthe corners of Kommetjie and Lekkerwaterroads will be going to the City of CapeTown’s full council meeting for approval.VanHeerden says theproposed filling sta-
tion on erf 4340 was met with resistance byKommetjie residents, who felt it was “unde-sirable”, and says the item has appeared onthe agenda of the City’s Spatial Planningand Environmental and Land Use Manage-ment (Spelum) Committee for severalyears. “It has been hard to get a recommen-dation from Spelum and I have spent lotsof money and resources to get this develop-ment off the ground. I have had to hire law-yers and town planners to assistme and, de-spite fulfilling all the requirements, theprocess has been delayed due to objectionsby Kommetjie residents,” he says.Patrick Dowling of the Kommetjie Resi-
dents’ and Ratepayers’ Association (KRRA)says theyarenot happywith the recommen-dation and says the association has opposedthis and many other developments in theFar South as “cumulatively they threatenmanyof theuniquequalities of this region”.Dowling says one of the original condi-
tions of the rezoning of erf 4340 was that nofilling station be built. An earlier applica-tion was turned down for environmentalreasons. “Traffic in the area is already badenough and the safety of motorists and pe-destrians could be compromised. There areother petrol stations nearby,” he says.Dowling explains the Far South Peninsu-
la Community Forum (FSPCF) has calledfor a strategic environmental assessment,which will focus on the environmental op-portunities and constraints of Clovelly,Noordhoek, Simon’s Town and Scarbor-ough. It should be completed with publicparticipation before new development pro-
posals are approved.Dr Lesley Shackleton of the FSPCF says
theCity conducted studies andmade recom-mendations that no further developmentsouth of Silvermine take place, due tothreats to the environment, in the 1990s.“We strongly believe theCity should be con-sistent and follow its own policies, whichhave been carefully thought through, rath-er than bending them for (the) benefit of in-dividual developers. This has clearly nothappened in this instance,” Shackeltonsays.According to the Spelum meeting report
of Wednesday 14 August the team from Ur-ban Dynamics Western Cape, on behalf ofVan Heerden, states the Traffic Impact As-sessment (TIA) properly addressed the traf-fic aspects and said the development wouldcreate job opportunities for the residents ofMasiphumelele. Committee membersagreed to a site visit during peak hour traf-fic before making a final decision.Spelum chairperson Councillor Christo
Kannenberg says the site visit took place onMonday2Septemberand themajority of the
committee members felt the proposed fill-ing station was desirable and would notworsen the existing traffic situation.“TheCity’s traffic engineers advised that,
should the existing zoning be implemented,the traffic impact would be greater thanthat of a service station. They were also sat-isfied with the mitigation measures pro-posed, as conditions of approval would beadequate to allow for the service station,”he says.The recommendations made by Spelum
will now go to the Mayoral Committee forapproval at the next Council meeting.Van Heerden is pleased with Spelum’s
recommendation and says he has not yet fi-nalised which petrol company will be run-ning the service station. “The filling stationwill be accompanied by a convenience storeandwehave proposals for a food chain take-away outlet. It has taken us long to just getto this point and now we wait on the finaldecision fromCouncil. The planwas alwaysto create economic development opportuni-ties for the residents of Masiphumelele andthe surrounding areas,” he says.

JANA BREYTENBACH
With his distinctive laugh Lakesideresident Jason Steel (23) tells thestory how he survived the five
weeks in the MasterChef kitchen.“I’m unbelievably proud of myself for
making the top five; I really did not expectthat,” he says.Last Tuesday Steel became the 12th ama-
teur cook to exit the competition.He competed in the hot auditions in Jo-
hannesburg in December, the day he wassupposed to attend his graduation.It was a difficult time, because his uncle
had died of a sudden heart attack a weekbefore. “Myuncle taughtmehow to fish anda day before my audition I caught a trout.I prepared the trout for the judges and theysaid it was fantastic. Forme that was a signthat I should participate,” he says.Week after week he progressed and
earned the nickname “The Fish Man” dueto his love for seafood.“I have always had a love for food and
wine, so it comes naturally forme,” he says.Steel, who worked at La Colombe at Con-
stantia Uitsig Wine Estate for four years,says he has a special love for the mannerin which food is presented on a plate.He has a number of highlights from the
recording of the competition, including thefive days in Ethiopia, meeting chef HenryVigar (of La Mouette Restaurant in SeaPoint) and one of the first challenges, thebreakfast challenge.“I do not have many low-lights, but the
first teamchallenge –wherewehad tomake
pizzas atMaiden’sCove inCampsBay –wascertainly the worst,” Steel says.“We were completely shattered when we
lost.”He says he wishes he could go back to the
beginning of the process and tell himselfnot to doubt his abilities as much.“It was certainly the biggest lesson I
learnt: to never doubt myself.”After the recording of the competition Ja-
son returned to Lakeside to relax, afterwhich he startedworking as awaiter at TheTest Kitchen in Woodstock.“It was an interesting time in the culi-
nary world and I plan to be very busy. But,for now,” Steel says “I want to keep onlearning.”

CAPENATURE: ‘BABOONS ARE NOT ENDANGERED’
Baboons:cull to limittroopsMARELIZE BARNARD
Should their numbers increase be-yond the capacity of the limitednat-ural area, troops of baboons will be
shot dead across the Peninsula.CapeNature director for biodiversity
Dr Ernst Baard said last week the CapePeninsula only has a limited space forbaboons. If troops are allowed to get toobig, it will lead to the mass euthanasiaof entire troops.
“I hope we never reach that point; itwould be a sad day,” Baard said.
The protocol for the euthanasia of ba-boons in the Peninsula was presented tothe City of Cape Town’s Portfolio Com-mittee for Economic, Environmentaland Spatial Planning last week.
Baard explained to the committee thelegal framework within which baboonsmay be culled.
He said when a “situation” with a sin-gle troublemaker arises, an intensiveprocess follows before a decision ismade to cull.
There are laws, rules, regulations andprotocol, but if a baboon makes troubletoo far in a residential area, he will beput down.
“We recognise the important role of
baboons as an ecological component inthe Cape Peninsula. Baboons are not anendangered species and their role mustbe seen in this light,” Baard said.
He added that scientific steps jointlyby the City, CapeNature and TableMountainNational Parks for a sustaina-ble existence for baboons is on par.
The one big problem remains peoplefeeding baboons.
“I do not think CapeNature has hadany successful prosecution of a personfeeding baboons. People do not want toget involved when they have to testify,”Baard said.V Share your views! Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Laser light: a case for assaultI refer to the letter from Arnie Marais (“Laser lights:a call to take action”,People’s Post, 27August) regard-ing a laser light directed at him while driving his ve-hicle in Putter Road, Lakeside by the occupant of aCorsa LDV.This is the second such report in as many weeks
in the Far South.It is not clear whether a registration number was
obtained, although this is unlikely under the circum-stances.Under existing traffic law, no clear legislation ex-
ists other than the use of a spotlight or substitution“in such a manner as to interfere with the vision ofany person on the road” – or “in such a manner tocause annoyance to any person, whether on a roadornot” –which seemingly fits thebill in this instance.But very complex in terms of raising a charge in re-spect of “substitution”, for example, a laser beam.Where the police may have erred is neglecting to
open their law and police manual, where the defini-tion of assault opens a wide legal door, which maywell accommodate Arnie’s “laser treatment” at thehands of those very foolish and inconsiderate Corsa(occupants) who could have contributed to anotherdeath on our roads by blinding the driver of a vehicle.Under the mantle of assault, let us view the defini-
tion of indirect force: “A person may in the cause ofthe application of force to the body of another, eventhough he neither himself nor by means of human
agency touches that other. In this case the force isindirect, and the person who gives occasion to it, isguilty of assault”.An example: “If A prepares a pitfall for B, and B
or C falls into it, then they would be guilty of assaultat best, ‘Mens Rea’ – a blameworthy state of mind –is essential in assault. Where this mental conditionis absent there can be no assault.”A “blameworthy state of mind” was certainly
present in this case – as well as the previous one –as any persons who resort to blinding the driver ofa vehicle must well know what the consequences ofthis action could result in; even a charge of attemptedmurdermay carry someweight as the act by the Cor-sa’s occupants was certainly premeditated andthoughtless.To direct a powerful beam directly to the face of
a driver speaks for itself; much the same as pointinga loaded firearm at a defenceless victim who is ren-dered powerless!A criminal charge can still be preferred if the above
definition is anything to go by, now, as well as in thefuture.Even without a registration number, a criminal
charge can be preferred as good investigation canbring the culprit to book; the one who directed thelaser beam and his friends who are accessories to anassault they may live to regret.Tony Rozemeyer, Lakeside
People’s Post reader Paul van der Berg writes: “(I) saw this as I was drivingto Fish Hoek from Capri. This taxi overtakes me on a solid white line andthen stops way over the white line at the traffic lights. Clearly a totaldisregard for any traffic laws. Something needs to be done before moreinnocent people get injured or killed by these suicide drivers.” PHOTO: SUPPLIED
PEOPLE'S POST | FALSE BAYTuesday, 10 September 2013 LETTERS 7InconveniencedI am 82 years old, disabled (leg amputated)and in a wheelchair.
My wife and I go to Longbeach Mall forour shopping and other errands – includ-ing dining out as other eateries have nowheelchair access – every week.
Many times we arrive at the mall onlyto find all the disabled parking areas areoccupied. When we check the cars for disa-bled parking permits, often no such disc isdisplayed.
This applies to both open air and coveredparking areas. Sometimes we even see peo-ple getting out of their cars in the disabledareas – no disc and no apparent disability.
When we ask why they are disregardingthe notice about that parking bay, theygive a rude reply and walk away.
A number of times I have wheeled overto the manager’s office to report carsparked without disabled discs.
The response? The person says: “We willsee to it.” Two to three hours later we re-turn to find that car still there, with no signthat anything has been done about it.
Other times, as happened again on Fri-day 16 August about 13:00, the person in themanager’s office just shrugged her shoul-ders.
The signs warn of action to be takenagainst offenders. Nothing gets done.
Offenders know they will get away withit. And I, in my wheelchair, have to bedropped off – holding up cars drivingaround me, with some risk to myself – somy wife can find parking elsewhere.
Management does nothing. Managementmocks the disabled.NJ Pretorius, Glencairn HeightsLongbeach Mall centre manager StefanRoodt responds:Longbeach Mall cares forall its customers, including disabled cus-tomers and parents with small childrenwho require special parking arrange-ments. We have 25 disabled parking baysspecifically reserved for the disabled and25 for parents with small children, concen-trated at all the entrances of the mall, aswell as close to the lift lobby in the base-ment parking.
The control of these designated bays isa daunting task as the selfish acts of non-caring individuals impact on us all. We, to-gether with our Security Contractor andthe Customer Assistants, try our best to in-tercept offenders and request they move tothe regular parking bays, but this is fre-quently met with abuse and rude remarks.
As a benchmark, we have closely moni-tored the use of the bays this past week andhave recorded three incidents of abuse. No-tices have been placed on the vehicles andwe trust this will deter repeat offenders.We are also considering all other legal rem-edies available to us and will act according-ly.
We consider each complaint as seriousand we apologise to Mr Pretorius for theunacceptable treatment he received atLongbeach Mall. We strive to improve ourservice every day and we trust we will beable to show our commitment to resolvethis issue by action and not merely by lipservice.
Thumbs up to medicsMy family and I would like to extend oursincere thanks to Jeff and Andre of CapeMedical Response. We called them on (theafternoon) of Saturday 24 August, whenmy 88-year-old father collapsed.
Their quick response, caring and profes-sional manner are to be commended. For-tunately all was well in the end.Belinda White, Glencairn Heights
A cut above the restI’d like to thank Cathy, Lawrence and Sigifrom Sigi’s Hair Design in Main Road, FishHoek for the wonderful service they pro-vided to a friend of mine, who is bed-boundand unable to get to a hair salon to haveher hair cut.
They went to her home to give her a hair-do, spent time with her and even took herdog out for a walk! This all brought a smileto her face and made her family very grate-ful for their kind service.
It’s good to know we have a business inour area that’s willing to go the extra mile!S Goosen, Clovelly

Hotel invites guests to go ‘green’A leadinghotel ismakinghuge strides in imple-menting various “green” initiatives.In a statement, Chris van Zyl, the hotel’s
group sustainability manager and horticultur-ist, has highlighted some essential tips whichhotel guests can implement to reduce their car-bon footprint and to become as eco-friendly aspossible when travelling.“We always encourage our guests to get ac-
tively involved and make recommendationswhere they feel the hotel could do more to re-duce the impact it is making on the environ-ment,” says Van Zyl.“Simple acts such as closing hotel roomwin-
dows when the air conditioner is engaged andreporting any action to management whichmay negatively impact on the environment –for example, a dripping tap or inefficient light-ing and sustainability procedures that are notbeing followed – are just some of the calls-to-action hotels can encourage among theirguests,” he says.He highlights ways in which guests can be-
come involved in doing their bit for the envi-ronment. “One of the most effective ways forhotels to save water is to encourage guests toshower instead of bathing. An average five-minute shower using awater efficient shower-head can use up to eight times less water thana full bath does.”Guests should also be encouraged to follow
the hotel’s towel and linen policywhen stayingat a hotel for longer than one night.The bed linen card in the hotel rooms re-
quest that guests indicate which linen shouldbe washed.
“This policy has a positive impact on thelaundry done at the hotel as there is a signifi-cant reduction of water, energy and detergentusage,” he adds.Van Zyl adds: “When sight-seeing, guests
should try to support tour companies whichmake use of energy-efficient vehicles with anemphasis on higher fuel efficiency, hybrid ve-hicles which make use of two different energysources, or public transport for transfers be-tween the airport and their hotel. When leav-ing their hotel room, hotels should persuadeguests not to leave their energy cards in themechanism, as this will save a great deal onenergy as the room is not constantly beingheated or cooled when it is vacant.”Van Zyl also feels that wherever possible,
guests should support venues which encour-age sustainable procurement be it organicallygrown or local produce. “The Vineyard Hotel& Spa prides itself on its home-grown herbsand vegetables which are used in various dish-es,” he says.“Guests should view a hotel as more than
simply a place to spend the night. It should beseen as a responsible establishment that ac-tively works to conserve the environment.Guests could also engage with the hotel re-garding any sustainable programmes in placewith their local community and see whetherthere are opportunities to become involved inthese or offer assistance where this is possi-ble,” says Van Zyl. “By embracing the hotel’ssustainable procedures, guests can play a rolein building on the success of the hotel’s initia-tives for a sustainable future.”
Essential ABCsof a dedicatedestate agentThe real test of an estate agent’s abilityand dedication is how fully he is involvedwith the seller, the buyer and the convey-ancer after the sale has gone through.The agent should be able to show that
he knows the area and its market condi-tions and if possible that he has operatedin that area, that he will advertisethrough online platforms and in theprinted media, that he has a ‘Plan B’ incase no buyer comes forward and that hedeclares any links, e.g. family ties, to otherparties involved.It is not how he markets and sells a
property, according to Tony Clarke, man-aging director of the Rawson PropertyGroup. “As soon as the sale document issigned, the seller will be expected to workthrough a range of tasks – and it is theestate agent who must ensure that hedoes this correctly and on time.”Clarke says if the agent does not, it is
possible that certain suspensive clausesin the Deed of Sale won’t be met on time– and if a due date is missed, it can makethe deal invalid or result in difficult andprolonged delays.Matters such as obtaining a mortgage
bond and getting the clearance certifi-cates from specialist contractors certifiedto check the electrics, the plumbing andthe gas installations are some of the tasksreferred to. In the case of such technicalissues, he says the specialists employedhave been known to invent problems soas to be able to rectify them and pumpup their bills. A good estate agent will as-sist with this process and make sure thisdoes not happen.He says it is also important to ensure
that the Rates Clearance Certificate is re-ceived from the municipality on time. Intheory this should be the duty of the con-veyancer – but it is the estate agent’s jobto keep the conveyancer on track time-wise.“Thereafter it is essential to get confir-
mation from SARS that the transfer dutyhas been paid and, by liaising with theconveyancer, check that all legal docu-
ments are signed and have been deliv-ered.”Suspensive clauses can be extensive
and in some cases four or five other salesand transfers will depend on the one inquestion, says Clarke. “To allow these tobe on hold or even cancelled is just notacceptable.”In the circumstances, the selection of
an estate agent is of utmost importanceand the seller cannot be too careful infinding the right person.The agent should be able to show that
he knows the area and its market condi-tions and if possible that he has operatedin that area, that he will advertisethrough online platforms and in theprinted media, that he has a ‘Plan B’ incase no buyer comes forward and that hedeclares any links, e.g. family ties, to otherparties involved.Clarke says that the “cheapest” are nev-
er the best. If an agent is too willing tooperate on a cut-throat commission andif he does not at least ask to handle thesale on a sole mandate, Clarke says theseare indications that he is probably a sec-ond or third league player.

Land reform guidelinesLand reform in South Africa needs tobe addressed, but it shouldn’t come atthe cost of food security or by break-ing up economically efficient enter-prises.So says the South African Property
Owners Association (Sapoa), whosemembers comprise 90 percent of thecommercial property sector in SouthAfrica.Neil Gopal Sapoa chief executive of-
ficer says South Africa needs a robustand balanced debate around land re-form.The fact that only 13 percent of land
in SouthAfrica is owned by black peo-ple must be addressed, he points out.Gopal says only visionary policies
and laws will effectively address the soci-etal, economic and political effects of the1913 Natives Land Act.But, changing land ownership rights in
South Africa also impacts on the need toensure food security.“SouthAfricamust adopt a process to in-
crease land ownership by the formerly dis-enfranchised that continues to supportfood security with effective agriculturalstructures,” says Gopal.Sapoa’s stance on the issue would see
formalised property rights necessary foreconomic success in context of increasedglobalisation.This would be supported by govern-
ment-implemented land reformwhichalsotrains and guides beneficiaries in socialand economic participation during a tran-sition period.“Fair and transparent validation of his-
toric property rights is fundamental toland reform,” says Gopal.But, crop-producing land must be treat-
ed sensitively.Only 12 percent of South Africa’s surface
area can be used for crop production andhigh-potential arable land comprises a
mere 22 percent of this.So, breaking up commercially efficient
enterprises for land reform poses a dangerto food security.“It isn’t enough to simplymaintain social
and political stability, we rather need tocreate substantive economic change.”Equally important to formalising land
ownership is progressively and positivelychanging the wealth and income distribu-tion of the South African populace, notesGopal.Sapoa puts forward that different laws
and policies could act as a cohesive, effec-tive foundation to ensure a sustainableland reform process.These include the Expropriation of
Property, Restitution of Land RightsAmendment, PropertyValuationsBills andPreservation and Preservation of Agricul-tural Land Policy, among others.However, he says as bills that will define
the social, economic and political stability,or instability, of South Africa, these landreform bills shouldn’t be ‘rushed through’and must be thoroughly debated first, toensure legal, social, economic and politicalvalidity.

Runners take on Table Mountain for a greater causeAgroup of CapeTownathletes are set to testtheir endurance levelswith a day of punish-ing exercise in support of a friend who wasrecently diagnosed with cancer.Saturday 14 September will see 10 run-
ners tackle 37km of Cape Town’smost ardu-ous terrain in the Crazy Store Table Moun-tain Challenge, while a team of cyclists cov-ers 80km in a ride around the peninsula.All of this will take place in hopes of rais-
ing funds for AllanMarshall, whowas diag-nosedwith glioblastomamultiforme (GBM)earlier this year.Marshall is a grandfather to two young
granddaughters who live with him, theirgrandmother and their father. The girls’
mother died tragically last year.GMB is the most common and aggressive
malignant primary brain tumour in hu-mans, with a average survival time of only15 months. Marshall’s treatment is expect-ed to cost in excess of R100 000.Three teams and one lone ranger will be
competing in the Table Mountain Chal-lenge. Fortunately, the stunning viewsfrom the trailwill serve asmotivation to therunners.An additional and more powerful moti-
vating factor for those competing to raisefunds for Allan will be the impact that thiscause is sure to have on him and his lovedones.
Roy Marshall, Allan’s son who currentlylives in theUnitedKingdom,will beholdinga 24-hour tennis marathon simultaneouslyto assist with fundraising.A raffle is also being held to assist with
fundraising. Tickets cost R20 and prizes in-clude a tanzanite pendant, one domestic air-line ticket, three bottles of wine, three bot-tles of champagne, three cases of beer or anautographed Western Province rugby jer-sey.An auction will also be held.For further information or to purchase

Wynberg aims and shoots for water polo winLIAM MOSES
TheWynbergBoys’HighSchool’s under-15water polo team are intent on reclaimingthe IanMelliar Cup after relinquishing thetitle to Grey High School last year.
Steve Heldzingen, who recently tookover as team coach, says his players areaiming for victory despite a disruptedbuild-up to the annual tournament.
“I am very happy with what I have seenso far. I sat them down the other day andasked them where they expected to finish,and I was quite happy with some of the re-sponses,” he says.
“Where they finish is up to them; theyneed to step up to the mark and do it. Acoach can only take you so far.
“They are quite self-driven and don’twant to end up behind a rival school likeSACS. Motivating them is not difficult. Isee some serious drive from these kids.They are very focused when they train.”
Wynberg started training mid-July, butthe entire under-15 squad has not trainedtogether because of rugby andhockey com-mitments.
The Ian Melliar Cup has been hosted atWynberg Boys’ since 2007. The hosts wonthe trophy for the first time in 2011.
Defending champions Grey High wonhave won the title three times and the PortElizabeth school will hope to bag secondconsecutive win.
The other Cape Town schools participat-ing this year are Rondebosch Boys’ HighSchool, SACS andBishops, aswell as an in-vitational side from across the Cape.
They will compete against St John’s, StPeter’s, St Stithian’s (all Johannesburg)Afrikaanse Seuns Hoerskool and PretoriaBoys (Pretoria), Westville, Glenwood,Clifton (Durban), Hilton, Maritzburg Col-lege (Pietermaritzburg), St Andrew’s (Gra-hamstown), Paul Roos (Stellenbosch),
Grey College (Bloemfontein) and Pearson(Port Elizabeth).
Heldzingen thinks Wynberg’s local ri-vals will be the toughest opposition in thegroup stage of the tournament.
“We have been grouped with SACS,Westville, Pearson and St Peter’s. SACSare going to be really tough opposition,” hesays.
“I don’t want anything less than a quar-ter-final (finish) and, to be honest, I wantmore – I feel that it’s realistic.”
The tournament will take place at Wyn-berg Boys’ from Thursday 12 to Sunday 15September.
SACS come up shortLIAM MOSES
Tygerberg High School thrashed SACS toclaim the 45th annual Villager SchoolsSevens title at Brookeside on Friday
evening.TheVillager Sevens sees schools from across
Cape Town compete annually. Nearly 30 teamsfrom the city’s top rugby schools entered thisyear.
Tygerberg looked like championshipmateri-al from the start of the tournament and kickedoff their seemingly inevitable march to the fi-nal with a 64-0 thrashing of theAmerican Inter-national School.
The heavy victories continued and the de-fending champions went on to beat BergvlietA 46-5 in the second round, the Western CapeSports School 24-0 in the quarter-finals andease past Bishops 21-7 in the semis.
SACS were not as dominant in the openingrounds and their opening match against JAGMalibu finished in a relatively conservative19-0 win.
They went on to beat Plumstead 52-0 in thesecond round, edge past Fish Hoek 19-5 in atough quarter-final and narrowly beat local ri-vals Rondebosch 24-20 in the semis.
The final seemed set to be a battle of attrition,with oneof the sides claiminganarrowvictory.But in the end Tygerberg ran riot, scoring sev-en tries to their opponents two, towin 37-14 andclaim their second consecutive tournament ti-tle.
TJ Goddard and Francois Esterhuyzen bothclaimed two tries for the northern suburbsschool, while Wynand Maclachlan, Ivan KunzandMike Hale got one try each. SACS respond-ed with tries from Brad Smith and Devon Bar-nard.
Meanwhile,Wynberg Boys’ High School wonthe plate section of the tournament, scoring atry in sudden extra-time to beat the TygerbergB team after regular time finished in a draw.
