PLANS are afoot to subdue the number ofhomeless people sleeping and loitering atthe Good Hope Centre.
Blankets, clothes, boxes andmakeshift potslitter the outside of the building, while va-grants – presumably the owners of the hum-ble items – loiter off Strand Street.Ward councillor Dave Bryant suspects the
street people have moved down from Zonne-bloem and Woodstock.He says the centre “falls in a grey area” in
terms of ward boundaries.“However, there is a move to create a Cen-
tral City Improvement District in the LowerGardens area as the area is not covered byMetrocity or any of the neighbourhoodwatches,” he explains.“There has been an increase in vagrancy
as they come to the city for assistance.”Social workers and field workers from The
Haven Night Shelter do visit the vagrants,but “there are not enough of them”, Bryantcontinues.He says he has apportioned funds from his
ward allocation budget to finance two extrafieldworkerpositions forUpperTableValley,Vredehoek, Higgovale, Tamboerskloof, Bo-Kaap and De Waal.“There is always an increase in vagrancy
in winter when the homeless congregate un-der bridges to keepwarm,” Bryant says. “TheCity takes a soft approach in winter as longas they are not infringing any bylaws likemaking fires or putting up shelters. Their fin-gerprints are checked regularly tomake surethere are no illegal people or wanted crimi-nals among them.”Allan Nelly arrived in Cape Town from
Port Elizabeth six years ago in the hope oflanding a job.For the past two years he has been sleeping
under one of the pillars at theGoodHopeCen-tre.Surviving on the streets is tough, he says.“I have no place to go. I try and live at any
open spot I find.”Hassan Khan, the CEO of The Haven Night
Shelter, says the non-profit organisation hasfield workers in the area who interact withstreet people around the Good Hope Centre,under the on ramp of the N2 behind the GoodHopeCentre, under theN2overpass at the cir-cle of Chapel and Russell streets, on the fieldbehind Ummah Close and Cape Peninsula
University of Technology and around theMuir Street mosque.“An increase in the homeless population in
this area is the consequence of their beingsqueezed out of the spaces actively patrolledby the security staff of the Improvement Dis-tricts, police, Metro Police and Law Enforce-ment,” Khan says. “Many of the homelesswere displaced by these agencies from underthe bridges along the harbour and from theBRT lanes. The improvement districts alsodeploy fieldworkers and assist homeless peo-ple to get off the street in collaboration withthe assessment centres and shelters.”In some cases, Khan adds, the CCID funds
transport home or provides a lift to The Ha-
ven Shelter. “It is unfortunate that the home-less choose to avoid the assessment centresand shelters when confronted by the law en-forcement agencies and end up in the neigh-bouring residential areas. It is our hope thata combination of push (laying down the law)andpull (fieldworkers)will havemorepeoplechoosing to come off the street instead of find-ing an unpatrolled area to make a home onthe streets.”Freddie Prince, the director of the City’s
Strategic Assets, Tourism, Events and Mar-keting Directorate, says council has receivedcomplaints after events. “Thevagrants or dis-placedpeoplewhoare in the immediate vicin-ity of the building are escorted or requested
to move away by security. They seldom re-turn after an event,” he says.Law enforcement agencies such as theMet-
ro Police, Law Enforcement, police and Cen-tral City Improvement District officials areinformed and they conduct regular patrols toensure people are not loitering, he adds.“No incidents of fighting or rowdiness are
known or have been reported,” Prince clari-fies.He could not say how many homeless peo-
ple sleep at the centre.Contact the Haven on (021) 465 1310.Direct enquiries or complaints about
homeless people to 0800 87 22 01; alternativelyemail Jantjie.Booysen@capetown.gov.za.
Good hope for homeless

I AM one of those who believe if we usetechnology smartly it can solve just aboutall our problems, but there is the increas-ing danger of technology fatigue.This condition occurs when technology
changes so fast that ordinary mortalscan’t keep up.We are bombardedwith dig-ital innovations, applications and infor-mation to the point where the mindnumbs. Just when we have mastered oneskill, new software comes along to makeit obsolete and then we have to start allover again.My first computer was a
1980 pre-Apple Radio ShackTSR 80 and, as far as I’m con-cerned, there have been onlythree real improvementssince then.One was spell check, then
came email and the internetand, of course, ever increas-ing amounts of memory.All the rest has been mar-
keting. Innovation for thesake of innovation, makingeverything more complicat-ed while pretending to make it simpler.Even the basic laptop is nowsopowerful
it is a rare individual who uses more thanone or two percent of its capacity.It does offer usknowledge on tap, but the
problem is that this incredible communi-cation device is now polluted with junkmail and pornwhile legions of crooks has-sle us with their lies about lottery wins,inheritances and fake communicationsfrom banks.Cellphones are even worse. They live in
your pocket and interrupt your life, in-vade your privacy and shower you withstreams of emails and unwanted informa-tion. They conspirewith your computer tokeep you tethered to the web and withyour TV to bring you cricket scores, shareprices and even soap operas while trying
to hook you up with an ambitious youngsocial networker looking for love andmoney – but not in that order.At home, the “entertainment centre” is
a confusing digital jungle with a frighten-ing choice of LCD, LED, Plasma, HD and3D technology aswell as recordingdevicesthat empower you to stop the world for 20minutes and restart it when the inconsid-erate visitors have finally got themessageand departed.It’s all quite brilliant, but what, in heav-
en’s name, is the point ofwatching in glorious highdefinition an endless streamof repeating reality pro-grammes, cooking demon-strations, crocodiles, sharksand engaginghooligans abus-ing cars and destroying prop-erty? So the technical bril-liance makes junk TV worseand not better.I mention all this because
scientists in California(where else?) have discov-ered that when rats have a
new experience, like exploring an unfa-miliar area, their brains show new pat-terns of activity.But only when the rats take a break
from their exploration do they processthose patterns in a way that creates amemory of the experience.In other words, they need to stop seeing
and doing to learn.The researchers now suspect the same
thing is happening to humans.Unless we get down-time from the tech-
nological bombardment, informationoverload and the non-stop distractions ofthe digital world we, like the rats, willlearn nothing. In fact, we might even un-learn some of the basics in exactly thesame way as we unlearned mental arith-metic when calculators came along.
Dear reader,
We’re spoilt for news,with twoArmstrongsdominating the headlines.Neil Armstrong, whowith fellow astronaut
Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Junior became the firstman to set foot on the moon in 1969, has diedat age 82.Neil’s first words on stepping
on the lunar surface, were:“That’s one small step for man,one giant leap for mankind” – apowerful message, apt for the20th century’s most amazingfeat and one that will resonateas testimony to man’s ability.The other Armstrong in the
news is fallen cycling iconLance whose career has taken agigantic step back as he nowfacesbeing strippedofhis sevenTour de France titles.Without pointing fingers, one
wonders just how many ath-letes use performance-enhancing drugs.The muscle mass on competitors in the re-
cent Olympic Games was painful to look at,especially on some of the women athletes. Iascribed it to disciplined, rigorous trainingandhighprotein intake,while finding it high-ly unnatural.On the assumption that most – if not all –
athletes use steroids, would that not thenequal the playing field, give everyone thesame advantage? To start with, you’d have tobe excellent at your given sport; whether nat-urally inclined or as a result of years of train-ing.Don’t getmewrong; I’mnot endorsing drug
use in anyway,merely considering all the an-gles.Though no relation to the Armstrongs, but
also getting generousmedia attention close to
home, is the hippopotamus who abscondedfrom Rondevlei Nature Reserve two weeksago. The latest news is that the young hippo,who can naturally lay claim to mass, albeitfat, has been spotted helping himself to a bitof lawn in Zeekoevlei.(I nearly ended up editing the above para-
graph out when a colleague stepped into myoffice to ask me whether I’dheard that the hippo haddrowned – thankfully not true).I digress... What are the
chances of looking out of yourwindow in suburban CapeTown to see a hippo grazing inyour garden?All very dramatic and excit-
ing, but disgusting is the factthat the young hippo escapedfrom the reservewith hismoth-er and sibling because the fenc-ing that keeps them safely en-closed had been stolen.I’m anti-violence but in this
instance wish the thieves had gotten theirsfrom the hippo family.On a positive note, along with some of our
readers, People’s Post created its own specialmemories when we took close to 80 of our fe-male readers and colleagues on a women’souting this week.The weather played along as we enjoyed a
tour aboard City Sightseeing buses; throughthe city, District Six and Bo-Kaap, endingwith a cable car trip.Thank you to all the women who made the
day unforgettable.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by Peo-
ple’s Post editor Feroza Miller-Isaacs whocan be contacted at feroza@peoples-post.co.za. People’s Post is also online.Visit www.peoplespost.co.za.

THE mass action staged by the AfricanNational Congress Youth League (AN-CYL) violated twoof the conditions stipu-lated in their approved application yes-terday.
Almost 10 000 protesters were meant tomarch through the streets of Cape Town inorder to hand over a memorandum to the of-fice of the Premier at the Provincial Legisla-ture in Wale Street.The ANCYL and its allies were protesting
against the lackof services to poorer commu-nities and the proposed closure of 27 schoolsin the province.They were also calling for the proposed
youth wage subsidy to be scrapped.Mayor Patricia de Lille clarifies that the
group was meant to gather in KeizergrachtStreet at 11:00, move along Darling Street,left into Adderley Street and then to the pro-vincial building in Wale Street.However, approximately 3 000 protesters
gathered at the Salt River Station andmarched through Woodstock, with around2 000 protesters joining the group after 12:00in Keizergracht Street.He adds that the protesters also did not ad-
here to the time frames stipulated in the ap-plication and delayed the start of theirmarch.DeLille says: “I view theANCYL’s flagrant
disregard of the stipulations set out in themarch approval in terms of the Gatherings
Act as a grave disappointment.”Protesters gathered outside the Provincial
Legislature, guarded bypolice officers in fullriot gear, in order to hand over their memo-randum.A row of policemen wielding shields, hel-
mets and crowd control equipment blockedthe legislature doors. A police helicopterhovered overhead, and five police vans wereparked alongside the legislature. One ofthem contained extra bullet-proof vests.The City advised business people to lock
up their stores if trouble occurred.Business owners feared theworst, but tem-
porarily shut up shopwhen angry protesterspassed their stores.One shop owner, Igshaan Ajam, was de-
lighted that the protesters temperswerekeptunder wraps and was even more relieved tosee a large police presence.He says: “What happened in the CBD dur-
ing the last major march is still lingering inour minds and we surely did not want a re-peat of those violent events.”Sergeant Hilton Malila, spokesperson for
the Woodstock Police Station, confirms thatno incidents of violence were reported andofficers at the station was deployed at thefirst meeting point, Salt River station.He says: “Wewere present whenmembers
first startedmarching and sawno violent ac-tivities taking place and no cases wereopened at the station.”The youth league plans to stage a march
on the 27th of each month, until their de-mands are met.De Lille adds: “The City respects the
rights of residents to demonstrate, but ap-peals to all those who wish to participate toplease do sowithin the boundaries of the lawto ensure the safety of all residents.”

OVERSENSITIVE: Zakhir Cassim thinks peopleshouldn’t take life too seriously. “Comediansare there to make us laugh. You take offenceif you don’t have a sense of humour.”
HAVE RESPECT: Taylor Reynolds feels ourhistory makes race topical. “We shouldn’talways get offended, but people should alsobe kind with their jokes.”
INSPIRE: Nelson Banderson says racial jokesshouldn’t be made if they are not going to dogood. Anything people say should be to encourage. “We should uplift one another, not makea joke out of them.”
CONFIDENCE: Michal Bar feels racial jokesare part of the comedy act and there shouldn’t be a problem as long as the comediansdon’t take the joke too far. “If you’re proudof who you are, nothing will offend you.”
SOUTH Africans have the ability to laughat themselves, but race may be a touchysubject for many in the wake of the legacyof apartheid.
Local comedians tend to make reference toor use racial comments in their shows, but isit done in bad taste?
People’s Post interns Luzuko Zini and Tar-ren-Lee Habelgaarn took to the streets to pollreaders and took the photos.
Race: the comic factorRace: the comic factor
LIGHTEN UP: Natalee Arendse believes peopleshould see the funny side. “The jokes are meantto be funny and in away bring down stereotypes.People need to be more openminded.”
LAUGH IT OFF: Allan Jordaan believes laughteris the best medicine. “Joking about race is oneway we can get together and even prove stereotypes wrong.”

GUEST houses and hotels are warned tobe on the lookout for a con man whobooked into the Mountview Guest Housein Sea Point for three days and left with-out paying the R4 300 bill.
Theowner of the guest house,whoasksnotto be named, says the “visitor” is charmingand seems very trustworthy.“He said he did ‘emigration work’ and was
from Malawi. He never made me feel suspi-cious at all. He booked in at the last minutevia the internet and arrived about 20.40 onThursday 16 August, by which time it wastoo late for him to find anywhere else tostay,” he explains.Themanwas “not able to pay”, as his cred-
it card was declined.“He insisted that he was an agent for a UK
company and that they would pay in themorning. He gave me their telephonenumber then he offered us more credit card
details, all of whichwere declined. He strungus along for four days, saying that he waswaiting for his salary and continued tomakepromises to pay.”The owner even phoned the number of the
guest’s agents in the UK, and was told theywere “waiting for funds”.On Sunday 19 August, the owner refused
to serve him breakfast due to non-paymentof the bill. “He drank about R350 to R400sworth of drinks out of the minibar, ate welland made phone calls to mobiles in Londonon the guest house phone,” he says.The conman slipped out of the guest house
on the Monday morning without paying.The owner suspects the man is part of an
international crimesyndicate andhasa copyof his Malawian passport. He has tried totrace him through the embassy, with noluck.
A charge has been made against the conman at Sea Point Police Station.

LIAM MOSES
ALLEGATIONS of a deaththreat and protests arebringing to a head the issueof a liquor outlet situatednext to a mosque in Bo-Kaap.
The matter may go to court.Residents have launched a
campaign to have the Timeand Place Restaurant and Barshut down. They wereshocked when the bar openednext to the Nurul IslamMosque, on the corner ofWaleand Buitengracht streets, twoweeks ago.The Bo-Kaap Civic Associa-
tion met with residents lastMonday to plan their campaignagainst the bar.They held their first in a series of
protests outside the bar onWednes-day.OnThursday, about 15 adults and
children picketed, holding signs op-posing the sale of alcohol.Others urged passing motorists
to hoot if they supported the pro-posed closure of the bar.Bo-Kaap Civic Association chair-
person Osman Shaboodien says thedaily pickets have been limited toaround 15 people as the organisa-tion did not apply for permission toprotest. He says the association hasstrived to keep the protests peace-ful.But the barmanager sayshe fears
the protests could turn violent.Sam, who would not give his full
name as he fears for his safety, saysthreats have been shouted at himduring the protests.
“Theyhave comehere and threat-enedmy life. They are shouting ‘Weare going to kill you!’,” he says.“They have said it. If we come
here tomorrow and find the barclosed down it will be no surprise.”Shaboodien denies hearing
threats shouted at the restaurant orits staff on Wednesday.The association has sought legal
assistance in their fight to have thebar closed.Seehaam Samaai, the director of
UWC’s Law Clinic, has been enlist-ed by the residents.Samaai says the first step in the
proposed legal action against thebar has been to request all docu-ments relating to the liquor licenceapplication. “Wewant copies of theentire file. We forwarded corre-spondence to the police and LiquorBoard for copies of the contents ofthe file,” says Samaai, addingthey’ve also asked theLiquorBoard
for the reason for the deci-sion.Once these are ob-
tained, she says, “the com-munity will assess whichsteps they are going take”.Samaai adds that she
could proceed by applyingfor an interdict to stop thebar from selling alcohol.“One of the legal options
we are considering is get-ting an interdict to stopthem selling alcohol, sub-ject to an investigation in-to the Liquor Board’s ac-tivities and what hap-pened when the licencewas issued.”Samaai adds that if any
evidence of “collusion orcorruption” is found, the people re-sponsible will be held accountable.Shaboodien says the protests will
continue daily and culminate in amarch from the bar to the offices ofthe provincial government this Fri-day. “Our programme for protest isbasically that every day there willbe a picket in front of the bar. Thenon Friday we are going to have amarch after prayers, at about 13:15,to hand over a petition,” says Sha-boodien. “Also, if possible, we willmarch to the office of the MEC forEconomic Affairs, Finance andTourism, Alan Winde, because theLiquor Board falls directly underhis jurisdiction.“We are busy talking to organisa-
tions in other areas to lend supportfor this campaign because it willeventually affect their areas if thisprocess goes on. It’s not just aboutBo-Kaap, it’s about the whole proc-ess of how licences are issued.”
Bar brawl marches on

Dotted lineIT ALL comes down to a matter of semanticsfor the three percent of Woolworths staff whohave yet to sign a new contract in whichthey’re required to work flexible hours.
Initial media reports say the firm was cut-ting some 600 jobs.
The retailer has come out denying these re-ports, saying they are not retrenching as thisis “not a formal retrenchment exercise”.
But for the three percent of employees whohave yet to sign on the dotted line, it may verywell come to the option of leaving with a vol-untary severance payment or taking early re-tirement, should they qualify.
Woolworths has explained its position. Thecompany runs a seven-days-a-week opera-tion, 365 days a year.
Already 97 % of Woolworths employees hadstarted working under the new contract.
It requires them to work flexible hours, in-cluding weekends.
By comparison, the old contract requiredstaff to work a fixed shift from Monday to Fri-day, and a half-day on Saturday.
Woolworths COO, Sam Ngumeni, says thecompany will offer staff who opt for the flexi-ble contract a “conversion payment”.
As for those who don’t, does this mean theywill, in fact, be without a job?
At what stage should the government inter-vene to prevent working people from losingtheir jobs in the private sector?
South African companies have used labourlegislation at their disposal to revisit employ-ee contracts. One of these are “operationalcriteria”.
The demands on the retail industry arefuelled by every person who uses these servic-es at odd hours and over weekends.
South African companies could considerbeing more flexible in their own approach tostaff.
Every time consumers frequent malls andstores, someone has to be there to do the work.Consumers may have a better understandingof the dynamics involved when it is their ownworking these inflexible hours.
I AM not against organ donation per se, but Ihave strong reservations on the fairness of theenterprise.
If one donates blood, a discount situation isapplied when one or one’s family requires blood.If one donates their organs, the family receivenothing but the receiver pays K-rand into themedical fraternity to receive the organ.
Apparently a healthy donor dying can make
six or seven once-off donations.Am I wrong to expect compensation in kind
for the donor’s loved ones, should they be in thisunenviable position in the future?
Not all receivers revere and nurture their neworgans, so what is the motivation for normal, av-erage people to allow the harvesting of their bod-ies?LLOYD ANDERSON
HOW invigorating that someone took time to re-ply to my letter condemning the death penalty(“Death penalty: other side of the same coin”,People’s Post, 14 August).
Unfortunately people choose to play the maninstead of the ball, narrow it down to petty is-sues or to dilute. We are just the messengers.The death penalty is too serious a topic to stoopto that despicable level. Whether I know crimi-nals or not, what does that have to do with theissue at hand? My view is always to empathisewith both victim and perpetrator; that is whatmy Master teaches me.
His six questions beg answers: No country canexecute 200 000 murderers. And rapists?
Our courts cannot even contemplate the deathsentence; any judge who does should resignforthwith. Our Constitutional Court outlawedthe death sentence in 1995 with a unanimous11-0 decision which we should all be proud of.
Ours is a human rights or moral democracy;we are in the company of all the respectable de-mocracies of the world. Everyone’s rights –whether the lowly drunkard or homeless per-
son, or someone from the highest class – areguaranteed in our Constitution. One only appre-ciates this when someone close to you gets intotrouble with the law.
His fifth question is crucial. Who must liveand who must die?
American jails are overflowing with deathpenalty inmates and even powerful nations liketheirs or China are scared to execute people sim-ply because of world pressure. If South Africatries to execute just one person, it will be theend of our democracy.
His last question simply underlines the enor-mous work each one of us still faces to turnaround the cycle of violence threatening to de-stroy our society.
Two questions for him: Are we better sinnersthan criminals? Are their sins bigger than ours?
He might as well stop praying the Lord’sPrayer!
Let Marikana be a wake-up call.Pity the poor Syrians running away from
their homes. Where will we run to?KOERT MEYER

Organ donation: who benefits?
I JUST want to say a heartfeltthank you to People’s Post forthe Women’s Day city tourand outing to Table Moun-tain on Wednesday 22 Au-gust.
It was very well plannedand I really liked how thewinners were selected fromall different walks of life.Some of the ladies who werechosen hadn’t even been upTable Mountain before!
We were also presentedwith a lovely goody bag anda snack on Table Mountainwhich made us feel really spe-cial!
Also a big thanks to Ebte-shaamah who was very pro-fessional and managed to suc-cessfully coordinate a biggroup of ladies. A job verywell done to her!
Thanks, too, to Williamand the bus driver from theCity Sightseeing bus compa-ny.
I felt like a tourist in myown hometown and certainlylearnt a thing or two aboutour beautiful city.
Overall an amazing experi-ence!FATIMA TAR MAHOMED

MMA at military baseMMA at military baseLIAM MOSES
SOME OF Cape Town’s bestmixed martial arts fighters willtake to the cage next week, whenthe second instalment of theCape Fight League takes place inWynberg.
The cage fighting tournamentwas hosted for the first time in Feb-ruary this year and saw over 1 500people witness some of the most ac-tion-packed MMA fights ever host-ed in Cape Town.Gary Barrett, co-founder of the
league, says fans of combat sportcan expect contests of the same in-tensity at the Wynberg MilitaryBase on Saturday 8 September.“They are going to see action-
packed fights, with about 15 fightstaking place, and the Cape FightLeague light heavy title will be onthe line,” says Barrett.“It’s a night of entertainment and
stunning ring girls. There are DJs.There is something for people to seeand to learn about what the sport ofMMA. It’s a great night of entertain-ment.”The title fightwill be contested by
local Chris du Pont, who fights outof the Phoenix Muay Thai andMMA gym in Observatory, andDurban fighter Craig Fourie.While the other top-billed clashes
include another professional lightheavyweight fight between GideonDrotschie and Mark Bristow, andtwo professional ultimate strikefights.Barrett would not be drawn into
predicting a result for the title fight,but said he expected neither fighterto take a back seat in the contest.
“I can predict it’s going to be anexplosive fight with heavy hitting,heavy hands and it should be an ex-plosive contest.”The first event was hosted at the
Bellville Velodrome on Saturday 4February.According to Barrett, he founded
the event because the ever-growinglist of talented MMA fighters inCapeTownwas starved for competi-tion.“A lot of the Cape fighters had to
travel to Johannesburg or Durbanto get fights andwhenyou’re an am-ateur it’s not always that easy topack your bags and pay your wayto go to events,” says Barrett.“There are events happening
around the country. When you’repro you get paid to do this. They pay
for your flight, they pay your ac-commodation and when you’re anamateur that doesn’t happen.”The organisers plan to host
league events four times each yearin the future.Barrett adds that the event has
started to attract fighters from oth-er parts of the country.“We started it to give the guys a
chance to compete at a professionallevel in Cape Town rather than go-ing around the country.”The smaller venue in Wynberg
should make for better seating ar-rangements, closer views of thefights and a more vivid experienceon the night.For more information about the
league or to buy tickets, contactBarrett on 0 072 123 4404.

False Bay win relegation dog fightLIAM MOSES
FALSE BAY RFC have clawed their way outof the Super League A relegation zone aftersecuring a narrow victory over local rivalsVillager at a rain-drenched Philip Herbsteinin Constantia on Saturday.The Bay scored three converted tries and
slotted three penalties to win the match winthe match 27-19, while Villager managed oneconverted try and three penalties.While the four points gleaned from the vic-
torymayhave givenFalseBay a vital lifelinein their fight to secure their top-flight status,the result has almost certainly doomed Vil-lager to relegation from the league.Chris Hewetson, False Bay head coach, be-
lieves his teamwere themoremotivated sideon the day, as they have a better chance ofsaving themselves from the drop.“Ideally five points would have been great,
but awin is awinandwewill take fourpointsgracefully, because its four points closer toTygerberg,” says Hewetson.“We are just clawing our way back. We
have two games left. We are going to go out
and try and win our remaining two games.We showed that we are capable of beatingcertain teams and we have proven it againsta hungry team today. We have beaten Victo-rians before, so we are hoping to clinch an-other one out there.”False Bay and Villager went into game in
the second-last and last positions on the tablerespectively, with Tygerberg just above thedrop zone in eighth place. The Bay have nowswapped places with Tygerberg, after theRavensmead-based side suffered a 33-13 de-feat against the Maties.However, Hewetson’s side are still not the
masters of their own fate. False Bay mustface the two University of Stellenboschteams, Victorians and Maties, in their lasttwo encounters.Both games will be played in Stellenbosch
and False Bay need to secure victories inboth to ensure their safety.Tygerberg,who trail FalseBayby only two
points, play Victorians in Stellenbosch andthen host UCT and Villager in Ravensmeadin their last games.The game in hand and slightly easier fix-
tures means Tygerberg still have a strongchance of securing their place in the SuperLeague A.But Hewetson is confident of his team’s
ability towinagainst all odds, especiallynowformer Pumas and Griquas centre BrendellBrandt has returned from a lengthy injurylay-off.Brandt’s involvement at False Bay has
been limited to the role of assistant coach inrecent months, but he started Saturday’sgame and helped his side to victory with atry in the tenth minute.“Brendell had a great game. That is the tal-
ent that he is blessedwith. He had some inju-ries but I think he has overcome that, be-cause he understands the magnitude ofwhere we are,” says Hewetson.False Bay will have over three weeks of
rest before they face Victorians on Friday 21September, while Villager will play SKWalmers and Tygerberg will take on Hamil-tons on Saturday 8 September.Meanwhile, in other results this weekend,
Hamiltons defeated Belhar 55-10 at Accordi-an Park in Belhar on Saturday.

Santos still Engen KO hostsSantos still Engen KO hostsLIAM MOSES
FORMER Santos FC captain Edries Bur-tonbelieves the club’s relegation from thePremier Soccer League has not dimin-ished the reputation of the Engen Knock-out Challenge.
Burton, now the club’sChiefOperationsOf-ficer, spent his entire 17-year professional ca-reer at the Lansdowne-based team beforehanging up his boots to move to the businessside of football in 2007.Santos, who are also sponsored by Engen,
have been the host club for the Challengesince its inception in 2003 and as COOBurtonis directly involved in running the event, ofwhich People’s Post is the media sponsor.The former centre-back says the number of
entries to this year’s knockout proves that
neither Santos nor the competition’s reputa-tion have been tarnished.“Santos is a brand on its own. It is a brand
in Cape Town, it is a brand in South Africaand we have played in Africa as well. Santoswill always be a brand, regardless of whichleague we are playing in,” says Burton.“This year we can look at the number of
teams that have entered for the play offs. Weare talking about 80 – if not more. So it showsthe pedigree of the tournament and that eve-ryone wants to participate in the KnockoutChallenge.”Theopening roundsof theKnockoutkicked
off at the Stephen Reagan sports complex inWestridge this week, with 96 under-17 teamsall looking to secure their passage to the nextround.Only 16 teams can make it to the tourna-
ment final next month to fight for the Chal-
lenge crownandwalkawaywithup toR10 000in prize money.Since the tournament’s inception the
standard of competition and the professionalorganisation has seen several playersprogress to the professional ranks of SouthAfrican and European football.Daylon Claasen, who plies his trade at Bel-
gian sideLierse, andAjaxAmsterdamattack-er Thulani Serero are two high-profile exam-ples.AlthoughBurtonadmits theChallenge can-
not claim all the credit for producing playersof this stature, he believes the tournamentcertainly played an important part in theirdevelopment.“Everybody wants to acknowledge their
tournament to be the one that’s unearthingthe players, but one has to look at the biggerpicture,” says Burton.
“We are all involved in developing playersand theEngenKnockoutChallenge is just onestepping stone in the growth of the players.”Santos and several other professional clubs
have benefited from the talent being devel-oped by the Engen Knockout.Burton believes what the club gives to the
people of Cape Town, especially the football-ers, is more important than what it does forprofessional clubs.“We always want to ensure we do our bit
for the development of football. I don’t thinkit is about what Santos can get out of the tour-nament; it is more what Santos can do for thebroader community,” says Burton.“And if we expose our young players to
these tournaments and competitions we willreach the benefits of them playing at a higherlevel.”
