Guest housesin dire straitsHANRIE BOSCH
LOCAL guest house ownershad high hopes for profits
during the 2010 Soccer WorldCup, but many are now forced toclose their doors due to an imbal-ance of supply and demand, andthe looming implication of thenew Property Rates AmendmentBill.
“I knew there were going to beguest-houses closing after 2010; itwould have been normal, but thereare a lot more closing and sufferingthan expected,” said Lyndsay Jack-son, General Manager for theGuest-house Association of SouthAfrica (Ghasa).
According to Craig Seaman,Chairman of the InternationalTrade and Tourism Portfolio Com-mittee at the Cape Chamber of Com-merce, “83% of boutique hotels (ho-tels with less than 30 rooms) report-ed a decline in revenue over the lastsix months of between 5 to 15%.”
Dirk Elzinga, Cape chairpersonfor the Federated Hospitality Asso-ciation of South Africa (Fedhasa),contributes the decline in revenue,especially for smaller accommoda-tions, to an oversupply of roomsthat has been left over from theWorld Cup.
“Growth in the number of tour-ism establishments in the WesternCape means the hospitality indus-try is not in its best shape.”
Headds: “Roomrates are current-ly under pressure, and this placesB&B’s and guest-houses under pres-sure. As they are already at thecheaper end of the accommodationspectrum, they aren’t in a positionto lower their prices more. So nowyou have a situation where there is
not a great differentiation betweenthe price for a guest-house and a ho-tel.”
Monika Ehrentraut runs a realestate company which specialisesin hospitality industry sales, andher website is littered with 28 pres-tigious guest houses for sale.
Ehrentraut says varying factorsmust be considered, when lookingat why guest houses are closingdown.
“In somecasespeople fall ill, busi-ness partnerships turn sour or peo-ple think that running a guest-house is easy.”
Michael Bagraim, President ofthe Cape Chamber of Commerce,said the proposed Property RatesAmendment Bill, which will seeguest-houses having to pay com-mercial rates on their properties,“unfairly targets bed and breakfastestablishments. This will damagethe development of the tourism in-dustry,” he said.
Maureen Marshall, a pensionerwho has been running her guest-house in Tamboerskloof for overnine years, said she has not had abooking in over two months.
“We are struggling financiallyand I have to live off of my bond.”
Hans-Christoph Neumann start-ed his guest house in Oranjezicht 14years ago, and said times are get-ting tougher. “We are stuck be-tween a rock and a hard place. Wealready pay R8 000 for electricityand cannot put up our room ratesanymore. This is the worst winterfor our business since 2003.”
Similarly, Valerie Barnabe, origi-nally from France, fell in love withSouth Africa and opened a guesthouse in Hout Bay eight years ago.
“There are about 50 guest housesin this area and we have been very
quiet this winter.There are a lot of guesthouses on the market,but South Africa isstill a good value formoney holiday desti-
nation for Europeans.”Tammy Evans, spokesperson for
the Western Cape Tourism Minis-ter, said: “A slump in tourism aftera big event like the World Cup, isstandard procedure.”
“The current slump is neither un-usual nor peculiar for South Africa.Firstly we are in winter; secondly,experience shows that the host cit-ies of mega events typically gothrough similar slumps. Aggravat-ing the current figures is the factthat our main source markets – Eu-rope and America – are still wrig-gling themselves out of the worsteconomic recession in 60 years.”
But it appears that the drop intourism figures, coupled with in-creasing costs of living, is cripplingthe very same industry that helped
bring the Fifa event to South Africa.Bagraim said the availability of
B&B accommodation helped per-suade Fifa to stage the World Cupin South Africa.
“B&B’s were important assetsand should be encouraged ratherthan punished with commercialproperty rates. They play a vitalrole in helping the tourism indus-try to deal with the peak demandscreated by event tourism such asthe Argus Cycle Tour or the TwoOceans Marathon”.
On the other side of the moun-tain, a guest house owner in Mui-zenberg, who wishes to remainanonymous, has been running hisbusiness for nine years and reports“the worst May in his business’slifetime”.

National Geographic hero inspires environmental awarenessDR JANE GOODALL, renownedprimatologist, etiologist, anthro-pologist and United Nations Mes-senger of Peace, shared her experi-ences researching chimpanzees inthe Tanzania Gombe Stream Na-tional Park with German learnerson Monday, 25 July.
She also shared her vision forsaving the planet with DeutscheInternationale Schule Kapstadt(DSK) learners.
Dr Goodall’s path to Gombe andher increased involvement in theenvironment captivated the audi-ence of learners and parents withthe details of her exceptional life.
Goodall encouraged her audi-ence to reflect on environmentalissues by asking the question:“Why are we humans destroyingour planet if we are so intellectu-al?” Founded by Goodall, the JaneGoodall Institute is a global non-
profit organisation that empowerspeople to make a difference for allliving things. The institute’s mis-sion builds on Dr Goodall’s scien-tific work and her hu-manitarian vision,seeking to improveglobal understand-ing and treatment ofgreat apes throughresearch, public edu-cation and advocacy.
Goodall’s publicappearance at theDSK forms part of aninternational effort,appropriatelynamed “Roots &Shoots”, to create aworldwide networkof young people who have learnedto care deeply for their humancommunity, for all animals and forthe environment, and who will
take responsible action to care forthem.
A delegation of pupils thankedher individually for taking time
out of her busyschedule to talk tothem. Her question:“Do you think wecan save the world?”was met with an en-thusiastic: “Yes!”
An endorsementof her positive ap-proach to finding so-lutions to the multi-tude of threats to ourprecious planet.
TheDSKstrives toeducate and encour-age its learners to
think and act as part of a largercommunity, creating peaceful, ed-ucated communities in South Afri-ca and beyond..

Saluting a legend in his timeANDRE BAKKES
RESPECTED and renowned sportsjournalist, Brian Gaffney (59), has
joined the big newsroom in the sky onTuesday, 25 July, after a month long ill-ness.
The affectionately named “Uncle Brian”will be sorely missed by family and friendsand his passing has left a big Brian Gaffneyshaped hole in community sport as a whole.
This determined, multi-award winning“walking encyclopaedia” has, after all,graced countless of touchlines and thousandsof back pages since 1970.
Dr Ivan Meyer, MEC of Cultural Affairsand Sport, acknowledged that Brian played a“critical role” in promoting sport amongstthe people, particularly those living in theCape Flats.
“He was a tireless fighter and often fearlessin his quest to expose the wrongs in sport,”added Meyer.
Brian was born to accumulate a vast sumof knowledge and share it with people hecared about, so it comes as no surprise thatlong time friend Herman Gibbs said: “Hefound his niche in community newspapers.”
He was, first and foremost, a loving hus-band, father and grandfather.
His wife, Vanessa, has a hatful of fond mem-ories of their 24 years together. What will staywith her forever is how her “teddy bear” usedto spontaneously burst into his favouritesong, “I’m leaving, on a jet plane, don’t knowwhen I’ll be back again ...”
Before too long, a duet of perfect unity andunderstanding would permeate their world.
“Those were special moments,” she smiled.“We met on a sports field while I was play-
ing softball. He was a very good photogra-pher, because he ‘zoomed’ me in! It wasn’tlong before we were married.”
The two became four when Sasha (23) andCallan (19) were born and in 2009 the birthof Zarah made a grandfather of “Uncle Bri-an”.
Vanessa concedes that she also likes sport,but unlike her husband, she wasn’t “110% ob-sessed” with it.
“He never stopped talking about it. At 01:00in bed he would tell me that I’m good compa-ny and then continued talking about sport.”
This insatiable appetite for sport and a dili-gent pursuit of perfection in his chosen pro-fession meant he was destined for greatness.
The first editor of People’s Post, AnnelienDean, recognised these rare qualities imme-diately.
“I remember when I interviewed him in2006 for the position of sports journalist. Hehad an immense knowledge of the subject andI felt a deep urge to bring him in,” she said.
It was a decision she never regretted. In2009 Brian was awarded the runner-up prizein the Sanlam National Community PressAwards in the sports writing category and in2010 he was awarded the Vodacom RegionalJournalist Award for his exposé titled, “NoSaints at all”.
Dean continued: “Having been able to workwith him was a privilege. He was a consum-mate gentleman with compelling authority.”
Brian’s good friend and People’s Post pho-tographer, Rashied Isaacs, said that this au-thority translated into respect.
“All the photographers at the World Cupknew him. Uncle Brian was like a daddy tous.”
Isaacs reckons the World Cup was a high-light for Brian. “I might think after a gamethat it was a boring draw, but he would ana-lyse it from a different perspective. He wasone of a kind. I lost a dear friend and mentor.”
Gilbert Kruger knew Brian for 30 years andsaid he will always remember him for his“thoroughness and fairness”, his willingness
to assist someone in need and his constantpresence next to the sports fields.
Even though Brian and sport were synony-mous, acting editor of People’s Post, FerozaMiller-Isaacs, emphasises that one shouldn’tforget about all the other legacies he left be-hind when she concluded: “It was reassuringto pass Brian’s desk and engage in some chat-ter about his love of gardening and cooking,his pride in his wife’s catering business andhis adoration of his grandchild.”
For a brief moment Vanessa’s eyes spar-kled with tears. “We will all miss him.”
She looks at her husband’s temporarily un-kempt garden and is comforted by thethought that theStrelitziawould soonbeblos-soming with orange flowers once again.
The family invite representatives of sportsorganisations to pay tribute to Brian duringa memorial service on Wednesday 3 Augustat 19:30 at St Cyprian’s Anglican Church onthe corner of Consort Road and 5th Avenuein Retreat. The funeral will be held at thesame church on Saturday, 6 August, at 10:00.
For any enquiries or directions phone Va-nessa on 072 370 3078.

100 000 lives changed in the Western CapeHANRIE BOSCH
THE SOMERSET HOSPITAL in MouillePoint celebrated its milestone of pro-
viding 100 000 people with anti-retroviral(ARV) medication on Tuesday 26 July.
In 2001 the Somerset Hospital was the firsthospital in the country to provide HIV posi-tive patients with ARV medication free ofcharge, during the time when stigmas andmisconceptions about HIV were still rife.
Theuns Botha, Western Cape Minister ofHealth, addressed the crowed by highlightingthe special day in history, which he saidwould be remembered as a milestone for anti-retroviral treatment.
Darren Francis, Assistant Director of Com-munications at the Somerset Hospital, saidthat the entire team at the hospital is over-joyed at what they have achieved in the past10 years. “During that time we went againstall odds and gave ARV treatments to peoplefor free, we were fighting to release ARVtreatments to everyone who needed it. Wehave come so far in the past 10 years, but ourmain aim is still to provide everyone withtreatment.”
Botha added that this remarkable achieve-ment was made possible through the hardwork of the Western Cape Health Depart-ment.
“Historically the Western Cape has beenthe trendsetter in the fight to institute the useof ARV’s at the time when national govern-ment was resisting its adherence. The De-partment was the first in the country to startproviding ARV’s to our patients. Today weare reaping the fruits of taking the lead in theface of resistance.”
Thobani Ncatai is just one of the hundredthousand people who has been lucky enoughto receive life-changing ARV medication andhas been using the medication since the pro-gramme’s inception in 2001.
“I was living in the Eastern Cape when I
was diagnosed with HIV. Doctors told me togo home and lie in bed and die; nobody therecould help me. I started getting very sick andcould not move, eat or work. I only weighed19 kg and my family thought I was going todie.”
Luckily for Ncatai, a friend told him thathe would be able to receive medication inCape Town and in 1998 he and his familymoved to Khayelitsha in hope of giving hima better quality of life.
In 2001 Ncatai started on a lifelong courseof ARV medication that has brought up hiscluster of differentiation count (CD4 count),more commonlyknowasTcells (the cells thatprotect your body from infections) from 174to 624 and he now weighs around 48 kg andis able to help provide for his family.
“I have had no side-effects from using themedication and have been able to see my songrow up. I was only 26 when I was diagnosedand my son was 21 months old. I neverthought that I would be able to see him as aman.”
Ncatai has been open about his HIV statussince receiving the medication and gettingbetter, to show people that you can be healthyand have a good life even though you are diag-nosed with HIV. “ A lot of people come upto me in the township to ask where they canget medication or what to do because theirchildren or family members are very sick,and I tell them to take them to get tested sothat they can receive medication.”
After receiving a death sentence from doc-tors when he was diagnosed in 1996, Ncataihas been able to live a healthy and dignifiedlife.
Today the Somerset Hospital has over 133sites in and around Cape Town, including theone in Khayelitsha were Ncatai receives hismedication, that offer patients not only ARVmedication, but the chance to have betterquality of life.
In closing Botha said that to show that 100000 people on ARV’s is indeed a victory, it is
important to look at the statistics. In theWestern Cape numbers show that 330 000 peo-ple are HIV positive of which 100 000 are onART. “But today we can celebrate that in two
years we have been able to reduce the caregap from 26% coverage of those in need in2009 to 80 % in 2011. That is indeed a victoryto be proud of.”

IF Julius Malema wasreally smart he wouldget the mining compa-nies to do the dirtywork of digging up thecoal, gold and plati-num and then mugthem on the way to thebank. He could takenearly 50 percent oftheir profit and call itroyalties and compa-ny tax. Without get-ting his hands dirty.The only thing to re-member is not to taketoo much. One mustalways leave somemilk in the cow for thecalves.
But not to worry.There are the banksthat can be plunderedfor close to 30 per cent of their profit and14 per cent of all those yummy bankcharges in the name of VAT.
Of course there are other ways to ex-ploit the wicked capitalists. In Botswanathe government went into partnershipwith De Beers and now gets half the prof-its from the diamond mining indus-try.This is by far the fairest system, withthe one drawback that the governmenthas to share in both the profits and thelosses. When a new mine is developedboth partners have to cough up a capitalinvestment of a billion or so to start theproject and then wait and hope for theprofits to materialize. No doubt De Beerslike the arrangement.
There are no mining taxes or royaltiesso their 50 percent of the profits in Bot-swana is worth more than the after-tax50 percent they would get in South Afri-ca.
And isn’t it useful to have a partnerwho actually pays his way and shares therisk?
The third option isthe one Julius likes.Nationalise the minesand collect 100 percentof the profit. Soundsgood, but it meansthat you also have tofind 100 percent of thecapital, do all thework and make all thedecisions. The prob-lem here is that youhave to manage themines with a lot moreskill than that exhibit-ed in the managementof, say, SAA or therewon’t be any profits.
When there are loss-es they are all yours.When the diamondmarket turns sour, asit recently did, you
still have to pay the workers and keep uptheir UIF, medical aid and pension fundcontributions.
Nope. The best way to milk the capital-ists is to nationalise the minerals whilethey are still in the ground. Then you getthe mining companies to pay you for theright to dig.
They thenhave topay royalties onany-thing they find. You top it off with compa-ny tax and VAT. Then you bully themwith demands that they meet quotas onthe racial composition of their workforce and shareholders. That shouldmake them come up with a few tasty BEEdeals.
That’s the wickedly exploitative sys-tem we now have and, from the govern-ment’s point of view, it would be crazyto change it. In fact, the only mystery isthe silence of the mines. Why are theynot crying out to be nationalised?
Evenaminingmagnate could livehap-pily ever after on the amount of compen-sation that would have to be paid for theexpropriation.
Idiot’s guide to nationalisation
Grand West celebratesemerging female entrepreneursIN celebration of Women’s Day, GrandWest’s Corporate Social Responsibility di-vision (CSI) will host its annual Women inBusiness initiative on Tuesday 9 Augustfrom 09:00 to 18:00.
The day will consist of a Market Day Ex-hibition, which will showcase the productsand skills of emerging female entrepre-neurs in various fields. The aim is to createa platform not only for the 35 small busi-ness enterprises exhibiting theirwares andproducts at the Market Hall, but also to cre-ate an opportunity for the women to net-work with each other.
Visitors to the complex will have the op-portunity to browse through the exhibitsand purchase goods from children’s booksand furniture to jackets, hand-made bags,accessories, crafted trays, pottery, paintedfabrics, African sandals, innovative recy-
cled products, vintage wear, home goodsand more.

GrandWest CSI Manager Heidi Edsonsaid: “Many potentially successful small tomedium sized enterprises fail because theylack networking and marketing opportuni-ties. Our objective in opening up our facili-ties for a market day exhibition is to offerwomen the opportunity to interact and net-work with each other and in so doing em-power them.

Vredehoek’drug den’discoveredHANRIE BOSCH
OFFICERS of the Cape Town centralpolice station raided a house in Flori-da Street, Vredehoek, on Friday 29 Ju-ly and yielded “massive” results, in-cluding the arrest of a 70 year old man.
Police officers found 79 rounds of am-munition, a firearm, six dagga plants andan undisclosed amount of cocaine on theproperty when the raid took place at17:00. According to captain Ezra October,spokesperson for Cape Town central po-lice station, police went to the house fol-lowing an anonymous tip off about suspi-cious activities and suspected drug relat-ed activities on the property.
“In the bedroom police officers found asafe which contained 41 rounds of R5 au-tomatic assault rifle ammunition, 13rounds of 9mm pistol ammunition, 13rounds of .38 special ammunition, oneround of .45 pistol ammunition and 11rounds of various other ammunitions.”
Police also found R1 520 in cash and one.38 special revolver in another safe in thehouse.October said the firearm found inthe safe had a letter of permission froma unknown person attached to it.
“The letter of permission was foundwith the firearm, but the matter is stillunder investigation, as we need to findout whom the firearm belonged to in thefirst place and if the firearm has beenreregistered to the new owner.”
After further investigating the home,six dagga plants were found behind amakeshift curtain in the home, as well asan undisclosed amount of cocaine.
The 70 year old man has been arrestedon charges of possession of drugs and in-
tent to sell. The man appeared in courtyesterday, but police were unable to com-ment on the outcome of the case by thetime of going to print.
The second occupant of the home, whowas not present during the raid, is re-sponsible for the firearm and ammuni-tion, but according to October the matteris still under investigation to clarify werethe weapon and ammunition originatedfrom and if the man has the required doc-umentation for the firearms.
.Furthermore October said that aggra-vated robberies and theft out of cars inthe city’s central business district has in-creased in the past month, but they haveput measures in place to rectify the mat-ter. “Security roleplayers in the city cen-tre, like neigbourhood watches, commu-nity policing forums and police are work-ing together to get these crimes undercontrol. When we know about a hotspot,like Long Street, Loop Street and underflyovers, police will be deployed to the ar-ea, while the other security roleplayerswill monitor other areas.”
In the past week, the central police sta-tion made 230 arrests for petty crimes inthe area and arrested two wanted crimi-nals, due to finger printing scans atcourts and in police cells.
The one man who was arrested waswanted in Johannesburg, Durban andCape Town for theft and housebreakingand the other was wanted for shoplifting.
October added that “the movement ofcrime is like the weather, it is constantlychanging and the crime hotspots are alsoconstantly changing, which necessitatesthe need for external roleplayers, likeneighborhood watches and communitypolicing forums to work together”.

The City, with 26 waste water systems,was in competition with municipalitiesthat have only one or two.
The City achieved an 85% score forquality, as well as the coveted trophy forthemostGreenDrops awarded for thevol-ume of wastewater treated.
City honours staff of ThinkTwice recycling campaignPAPER and cardboard recycling has beenimplemented in parts of the city since theearly 1950s, a renewed commitment to recy-cling the City’s own waste paper and card-board was demonstrated in 2006 through itsIntegrated Waste Management Policy, in-structing all City Departments to implementwaste minimization initiatives.
From this Policy the Think Twice – Recy-cle your waste paper! programme was born.
It was implemented in 40 of the City’s ad-ministrative buildings over the past twoyears and has facilitated the beneficiation ofmore than 270 tons of waste paper and card-board.
To start the campaign, the City distributed
yellow, blue and green wheelie bins for thesorting of cardboard, mixed paper and whitepaper. A contract was awarded to Mondi Re-cycling in May 2009 for the collection of thewaste paper and cardboard. This contractwill soon expire.
The project facilitation team, MayedwaPerhe and King Poswa of Solid Waste Man-agement, relied heavily on enthusiasticchampions of the cause to spread the mes-sage to all staff. The City of Cape Town’s May-oral Committee Member for Utility Service,Councillor Shehaam Sims, honoured staffmembers at a special ceremony in Bellvillefor their contributions to ensure the successof the campaign.

Their brief was to show pupils what itmeans to be a paramedic.
Shortly after 13:00 excitement could be feltin the air as the children noticed the emergen-cy vehicle drive through the front gates intothe school yard.
The Grade 1s are currently doing a termproject on “People who help people” and whenthe emergency vehicle arrived, it was evidentthat it was paramedic day in the courtyard.
Three children were chosen to wear differ-ent safety helmets as worn by paramedics.
One child wore an ER24 rescue helmet, the
other an American issue fireman’s helmetand the last a helicopter helmet as worn byparamedics in the ER24 Discovery Medicop-ter program.
All the children were exited and paid atten-tion as senior advanced life support para-medic Schalk Van Der Merwe explained thedifferent equipment and medication to thechildren.
They were also given the opportunity totouch and feel different equipment used byparamedics such as artificial respiration de-vices and even heart rate monitors and a defi-brillator.
All the children enjoyed the presentationand understood that paramedics are peoplewho help other people and that ER24 deliversreal help real fast.

New chairperson forprovincial police forumTAMMY PETERSEN
HE MAY not wear aSuperman costume
or drive a Batmobile, buta Kenwyn resident isready to round up histeam and get down tobusiness in the fightagainst crime.
Hanif Loonat was re-cently elected as the chair-person of the WesternCape Provincial Commu-nity Police Board, whichrepresents all residents asa direct link to police man-agement and acts as amonitoring body on policeperformance.
Despite being voted inonly a week ago, he al-ready has a plan of action which he is ea-ger to implement.
“I am ready for action. I want to see astrong relationship being formed be-tween the various anti-crime depart-ments so that there can be an all-inclu-sive, no nonsense approach to reducingour current crime stats,” the vocal busi-nessman says.
The election is a great achievement fora man well known for his fearless ap-proach to crime in his own area, whosejourney with the CPF started 16 years agowhile living in Johannesburg.
“I had a habit of getting into my car anddriving around in Benoni to make surethat there was no funny business goingon in my area. I always had this passionfor fighting crime and I would watch thestreets like a lone ranger to make sureeverything was safe,” he says.
He decided to join the Benoni CPF in1995, to which he belonged for the next10 years.
In 2005, while serving as chairperson,he moved to Kenwyn where he joined theLansdowne CPF.
“A year later I waselected to acting chair-person and in March 2008I became the chairper-son. I was proud of this,because it meant peopletrusted me enough to be-lieve that I could changethe crime situation in ourarea.”
He served on the execu-tive of the local bodyuntillast year, when he was se-lected as the chairpersonof the Nyanga ClusterCPF, which comprises ofLansdowne, Athlone,Manenberg, Philippi,Nyanga, Philippi Eastand Gugulethu forums.
He was elected as theprovincial chairpersonlast week after obtaining
21 of the 25 votes cast by the cluster chair-persons within the Western Cape.
“There is lots to be done in the fightagainst crime,” he says. “The most im-portant thing to me is opening the linesof communication so that people willspeak out about what’s happening intheir areas. They are the ones who are onthe ground and who make the best in-formants. They have to do their part andinform the police of what is going onaround them.”
Corruption within the police force willalso be given serious attention, Loonatcontinues. “I want to say to these officerswho are involved in underhanded activi-ties: your days are numbered. In orderfor SAPS to clean up on the outside, theyfirst have to be clean on the inside. Thesecorrupt officials had better find them-selves another job.”
He invites anyone with concerns orcomplaints to phone him on 082 860 7863.
“I am always available, day or night.Every complaint and concern will be tak-en seriously so call me and let’s find solu-tions.”
Hanif Loonat has been elected as the chairperson of theWestern Cape ProvincialCommunity Police Board.

Knockout successTHE successful culmination of the under-17Engen Knockout Challenge over the week-end, is testimony to the power of creative andpositive community initiatives,
The tournament saw a display of the bestyoung football talent our City has to offer.
In the end, Ajax Cape Town booted theirway to glory against defending champs AfricaSoccer Development (ASD).
While one team took home the ultimateprize, there was no doubt in anyone’s mindthat every single young player was a champin his own right.
As the official print media sponsor of thetournament for five years running, People’sPost is proud to be associated with an eventof this calibre. Kudos to Tournament DirectorGilbert Kruger and his team for staging a bril-liant professional show; and to all the spon-sors – Engen, Santos, Umbro and Coca-Cola– for their commitment to nurturing youngtalent.
It was like the World Cup all over again, ona Mitchell’s Plain stage.
Hosted by the Engen Santos FC, the tourna-ment looks set for a long run.
The 16 teams who competed at the StephenReagan sports complex in Mitchell’s Plain, at-tracted more than 4 000 spectators, demon-strating the vital role and need for team sport.
Corporates would benefit from thowingtheir weight behind initiatives such as this,which gives our youth choices, and chancesto celebrate achievements; scope to becomethe next great soccer legends.
The beautiful game transcends just scoringgoals and winning; its beauty lies in the unitycreated both on the field and off; in themonths of training and preparation, being atrue team player; and finally, stepping up tothe podium to claim well-earned prizes andsilverware with pride and joy.
For eight years, the prestigious Engenknockout challenge has succeeded in elevat-ing local young players to higher playingfields on the football landscape, taking themone step closer to a goal-directed life.
Don’t encourage naming your hoodTHE slang word ‘hood’ derives from gangculture. It is an abbreviation of the wordneighborhood, signifying a gang’s territory.Wehave enoughkillingswithdrive-by shoot-ings and shoot-outs in too many of our dis-tricts. This initiative and competition is justplain stupid and glamorises gang lingo. En-couraging and justifying this only encourag-es territories, and territorial gang fights.
Gangsterism is a serious problem in theCape, destroying families and our youth.One would have to wonder “what are youthinking?” Please find something more pro-ductive. I think we’re already fighting ‘Hood’names like the ‘26s’ and ‘American Boys’ toname a few.CRAIG HARRISONObservatory
The police should lead by exampleTHE recent spate of cop killings all over thecountry is clearly an indication that thesecold blooded killers will go to any lengths toavoid apprehension. Cop killings should beno different to the killing of ordinary citi-zens. However, considering that men andwomen on the frontlines have a sworn dutyto serve and protect our lives and property,we, as patriotic citizens, have a moral re-sponsibility to ensure that these officers areprotected by the community and we shouldregard an attack on the police as an attackon our entire community. In fact, cop kill-ings should be regarded as an attack on thestate. For this reason I have over some timenow, been calling on government to considerharsher sentences in cases involving copkillings, attacks on senior citizens and chil-dren. We should ensure that there is no placeto hide for these killers. Government shouldconsider minimum sentences for these
crimes.If we, as a nation, do not tackle this issue
with urgency, violent crimes will spiral outof control, with adverse effects on our econo-my and tourism industry. Communitiesshould not shield known rapists and killers.We should point them out to the law enforce-ment agencies and help bring crime levelsdown. Becoming a police officer should beone of the first career choices for our youngpeople, not a last resort! Dealing with cor-rupt officers in the police force and effective-ly dealing with cop killers, would certainlymake becoming a police officer a career pathof choice. However, the time has come for po-lice officers, regardless of his or her rank inthe force, to lead by example and do every-thing in their power to restore the communi-ty’s faith in the force.ROZARIO BROWNMitchell’s Plain

Hattrick Engen win for AjaxHattrick Engen win for AjaxTASMIN CUPIDO
AFTER months of preparation and an ex-hilarating three-day tournament, the 2011u/17 Engen Knockout Challenge will be re-membered as one of the best-staged tourna-ments to date.
Hosted by the Engen Santos FC, the tourna-ment, now in its eighth year, saw 16 teams fromacross the Cape Peninsula participate in a gru-elling competition at the Stephen Reagansports complex in Westridge, Mitchell’s Plainfrom Friday to Sunday; with more than 4 000spectators entering the gates.
People’s Post has been the print media part-ner of the tournament for five consecutiveyears.
After a nailbiting final between Ajax CapeTown and Africa Soccer Development (ASD),it was the youngsters of Ajax CT who will havethe bragging rights for the rest of the year, asthey edged out the defending champions 2-1 tobe crowned the 2011 Engen Knockout Chal-lenge champions.
At the halftime whistle it was Ajax who led2-0 with a Justin Jacobus volley in the 15thminute and another goal by midfielder, RiyaadNorodien, just 15 minutes later.
The fast-paced game continued throughout,with ASD looking to claw their war back intothe match.
A penalty to ASD after an infringement inthe box led to the defending champions, thescoreline read 2-1, with only a couple of min-utes to play.
A last-minute penalty was also awarded toAjax, but was saved by ASD goalkeeper, Tris-tan Woudberg.
This victory sees Ajax CT completing a hat-trick of Engen Knockout Challenge champion-ships – they previously won the tournament in2008 and 2009.
Noel Cousins, youth coach at the Ajax CTAcademy, said they are pleased with the win,
because their club has always been about thedevelopment of young, talented players.
“To see the team be victorious in a rathergruelling tournament is pleasing and reallysatisfying,” he said.
“We put a lot of effort into preparing the boysmentally and physically for the event – they re-mained well-disciplined and our hard workpaid off.
“The intensity of our preparation was ofsuch a nature that we did not expect anythingless than winning the tournament. The boys re-ally deserve this.”
Ajax walked off with R10 000 and kit fromUmbro (the technical sponsors), while ASD re-ceived R2 500 in prizemoney.
Engen Group Sponsorship Manager, BradBergh, again expressed his joy at being able tosponsor such a “prestigious” tournament.
Goolam Allie, chairperson of Engen Santos,congratulated all the participating teams andencouraged the youth to continue playing foot-ball, while also concentrating on their educa-tion.
Tournament Director, Gilbert Kruger, saidthey are pleased with the overall run of thisyear’s tournament. “The feedback from thecommunity has been excellent, thus far,”Kruger said.
“With this we are pleased, because this is asmuch a community event as it is a footballevent. We again want to thank our sponsors formaking this event a success – without themthis event would not have been possible.”
“People’s Post is proud and honoured to bethe print media partner of an event such asthis, which nurtures young sports talent in ourcommunities and creates positive opportuni-ties for our future generation,” said People’sPost Acting Editor, Feroza Miller-Isaacs.
“Well done to Gilbert Kruger and his team,and everyone else who helped to produce an-other successful Engen Knockout Challenge.
“We look forward to a continued positive as-sociation with the tournament.”
