Former Noordhoek residents are beingcalled to remember their past, as a com-mittee is to be established to collect in-

formation on forced removals in the area.After a similar process mapped the histo-

ry of forced removals in Simon’s Town, com-munity members are looking to documentthis history in Noordhoek.

Simon’s Town museum project coordina-tor Suzette Farmer says many people visitthe museum for research on where theylived in order to file a land claim. However,

there are few records from Noordhoek, un-like Simon’s Town.

“People come in looking for informationon where they are from and where theylived. In Simon’s Town, all the records areup to date. But there’s nothing for Noord-hoek,” she says. “Some areas are forgotten.When families come in looking for informa-tion and there is none, they go away verysad,” she says.

MemorabiliaInformation on the Simon’s Town forced

removals was collected by the Phoenix com-mittee, which was formed in 1996 by mem-

bers of the community who were forcibly re-moved. They help staff of the museum withcollection memorabilia and information forexhibits and archives.

Phoenix committee member Janet Cart-wright says the work of the committee pro-motes transformation at the museum, mov-ing away from a predominantly “white his-tory”.

“It’s been very touching for people to beincluded in the museum. We want their sto-ries,” she says.

Now the committee wants to help formerNoordhoek residents too by starting a com-mittee to collect records and history.

The committee will begin by piecing to-gether family trees of those who were forci-bly removed, and will then begin recordingthe oral history of the area, Farmer explains.

For the childrenShe hopes that the collected information

can be used to create an exhibit or furnisha museum in Noordhoek.

“We must keep records for future genera-tions,” Farmer says. “The older generationis dying out with these stories. For many, itis still too sore to talk about it. We must teachchildren what they’ve got, what people hadand what was taken from them.”

Cheers whenwhales are freedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As the winter brings an increased numberof whales to our waters, the chances in-crease that the giants become entangled inropes, nets and lobster traps.

Such cases are rising, says South AfricanWhale Disentanglement Network(SAWDN) head Mike Meyers.

On average, 15 to 17 cases of whale entan-glement are reported every year. However,this number is increasing yearly as the pop-ulation increases, he says.

This year has seen eight cases already,with the whale season still only beginning.It is expected to peak in September.

Tenyears ago, ahugenumberof entangle-mentswere reported, prompting thedepart-ment of environmental affairs to approachthe lobster industry to fund training froman American whale disentanglement spe-cialist.

The department invited a range of role-players and SAWDN was born, with basictraining and a set of equipment taught ona mechanical whale tail.

The network now includes a variety ofpartners, including the Dolphin ProtectionAction Group, National Sea Rescue Insti-tute (NSRI), Natal Sharks Board, research-ers and whale watchers, Meyers says. Thishas created 17 centres along the South Afri-can coastline.

Every year, a new group is trained andmore equipment is manufactured. It costsabout R25 000 to set up a new team.

The Network, which is now the fourthlargest in the world, is also affiliated to theInternational Whaling Commission andshares information and best practice tech-niques with organisations from other coun-tries.

Report itThe public should report any sighting of

an entangled whale immediately, says Mey-er. There have been reports of people beingkilled by whales in the past, he explains,which iswhy the general public shouldnev-

er attempt to free a whale themselves.The Network will immediately dispatch

a boat to locate the animal and monitor it.The disentanglement team will then follow,using an appropriate knife to cut off what-ever rope or net the whale is caught in.

The Network has a 100% success rate indisentangling whales trapped on the seabottom. However, whales entangled butable to break free are difficult to follow, andan entangled whale can face a very slowdeath, with it taking up to nine months forthe caught whale to die.

Dangerous workDisentangling the whale can be very dan-

gerous, Meyer explains.While humpback whales easily tire and

will stop thrashing about, southern rightwhales tend to kick their tails sideways andthis can seriously injure a volunteer.

Safety is very important and the volun-teers never enter the water, Meyer says.Only the best equipment is used and all vol-unteers are trained.

An entangled whale will spin around inthe water to attempt to free itself, Meyer ex-plains. This usually pushes the rope to-wards the whale’s tail, which the whale willkick. This action can be very dangerous tocrew trying to help the whale, he says.

“It’s a very scary thing the first time youassist a whale. Many volunteers go out withtheir heart in their throats,” he says.

But this is all worth it, as freeing a whaleis a very emotional experience.

“We’re all geared towards getting thatpiece of rope off. At the same time, we’revery close to a large animal, and they oftencry in fear. Sometimes they don’t even real-ised that they’re free and we need to givethem a touch before they take off like a bul-let,” he says. “At that stage, although we’vebeen as quiet as possible thewhole time, theentire team will cheer.”V Report entangled whales to the Dolphin Action Protection Group on 021 782 5845 or to the NSRI on021 434 4011.V For more information or to get involved, contactMike Meyer on 082 578 7617.

‘Worthless’tablets raidedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Anew technology rolled out in ambulan-ces across the city is making emergen-

cy medics a target for crime.This as three sources in the industry,

who do not want to be identified as theyare not contractually permitted to speakto the media, claim that robberies and at-tacks have spiked over the last fewmonths, especially in areas such as Mitch-ell’s Plain, Manenberg, Hanover Park andKhayelitsha.

They believe the spike coincides withthe installation of tablet devices in ambu-lances, which link medics to the call cen-tre and provide directions to the emergen-cy.

Some medics who have been held uphave even been asked to hand over the“tablets”, sources say.

Useless outside ambulancesThe tablets, according to a source with

industry knowledge, have been installedin a way that makes them “impossible toremove” from the ambulances.

The tablets are also locked and will onlywork on the health department’s system,and are useless for any other user.

The installation of the devices, referredto as MDTs, cost about R300m, the sourcesays.

Medicshave reportedly raised their con-

cerns with management, but have re-ceived no reaction.

They are now calling for immediate ac-tion to be taken, to inform the communitythat the devices are not removable and arenot useable outside the ambulance.

Sources say the device, which is mount-ed above the dashboard, is clearly visibleat night.

The system also updates continuously,and can be heard beeping from outside theambulance.

They say in some areas, medics evenchoose to use ambulances in which the de-vices have not yet been installed or switchit off.

They say no education has taken placein communties to inform the general pub-lic of the function of the MDT devices.

Added pressureThe increase in attacks has left medics

fearful, a source confirms, with many al-ready expected to attend to patients in are-as they feel are unsafe or where gang vio-lence is prevalent.

“Wealreadyhave the pressure of havingto respond to as many calls as possible. It’snow becoming just a job and we are losingour passion,” he says.

The department of health refused to con-firm the existance of theMDTdevices, say-ing to do so could make ambulances moreof a target.

They declined to comment further.

A man has been arrested for illegally fish-ing at the Zandvlei estuary.

City of Cape Town officials seized illegalgill nets at the estuaryandarrested the sus-pect for the illegal possession of gill netsand undersized fish.

The suspect, who had gained illegal ac-cess to the Zandvlei caravan park the pre-vious evening, was found in possession ofthree illegal gill nets, which when com-bined reached over 150 metres in length.Unfortunately, the suspect had netted 126mullet, three garrick (leervis) and one un-dersized white steenbras.

The nets, along with a fishing canoe andvarious other fishing implements used inthe commission of the offence, were seized,says Johan van der Merwe, mayoral com-mittee member for energy, environmentaland spatial planning. “Illegal netting in theZandvlei estuary has been an ongoingproblem and the City would like to thankMountain Men security for their diligentwork in apprehending the suspect andalerting the authorities.”

Gill netting is not only illegal, but ex-tremely destructive, Van der Merwe says.Being in possession of a gill net is an of-fence in terms of the Marine Living Re-sources Act. “We urgemembers of the pub-lic to please report illegal fishing activitiesto the City’s marine law enforcement uniton 021 596 1999 so that together we are ableto protect our natural resources.”

The Masiphumelele Business Develop-ment Forum is planning a one-day summitto tackle development in the community.

The summit – in which local govern-ment, community stakeholders and thepublic can participate – will take place atthe end of August.

“The community faces problems of rein-tegration because we are not involved inthe planning process,” says spokespersonReuben Hela. “There is room for the com-munity to grow economically, but we arelimited by land usage.”

The Forum would like to see all shacksin the area replaced by flat blocks, whichwill provide investment opportunities forresidents,Hela says. “We’re hoping to startaproject like thisnext yearbutwearewait-ing for approval from the government.”

At this stage, a subsidised housing devel-opment is being planned forMasiphumele-le, says Benedicta van Minnen, mayoralcommittee member for human settle-ments. “However, it is important to notethat the development framework may stillhave an impact on the development.”

A report has been compiled by the coun-cil on the current state of the area and ahouse-to-house survey is underway to es-tablish the needs of the community (“Resi-dents have say in area’s future”, People’sPost, 26 May).

This will form part of a developmentframework plan for the area, which willprovide solutions to improve thewellbeingof residents. The framework will focus oninfrastructure around transport, econo-my, social issues and the water ecosystem.

The summit will also aim to address so-cial issues such as crime and healthcare,Hela says. For instance, there is a need formore and closer healthcare facilities, be-cause the clinic currently only caters forchildren.

The City is keeping the open space nextto the clinic for possible expansion, specifi-cally to provide more consultation rooms,says Siyabulela Mamkeli, mayoral com-mittee member for health.

The report have also shown a need formore schools in Masiphumelele. It is esti-mated that another high school and threeprimary schools are needed.V For more information, contact Forum chairpersonSimon Pasiya on 078 035 3119.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA

Schools bursting at seamsA reported shortage of schools in theSouth-

ern Peninsula has forced Kommetjie Pri-mary School to turn potential pupils away.The school’s governing body chairperson,

JohanKikillus, says it has had to “turn awaya number of pupils due to lack of space”.“Our school is already at full capacity. Sev-

eral of these pupils live in Kommetjie andnow have to find schooling elsewhere. If onelooks at the bigger picture, we realise thatthis problem is not unique to Kommetjie butthe entire valley,” he says.Kikillus says there are currently over 6500

pupils attending the eight government pri-mary schools in the valley.“The two primary schools in Ocean View

have on average 37 pupils per class and theprimary school in Masiphumelele has onaverage 44 pupils per class. So it is safe to saythat these three schools are overflowing.Such large classes do not result in a pleasantteaching environment and as a result, a largenumber of pupils fall behind.“The four primary schools in Fish Hoek

are a bit better with an average of between

23 and 31 pupils per class,” he says. The aver-age for the area is 33 pupils per class.“This leads to the next problem – the short-

age of high schools. Fish Hoek High Schoolcurrently has over 1000 pupils. There is sim-ply no more space. Masiphumelele has 1204pupils, which averages at 44 pupils per class,and Ocean View has 1212 pupils, which aver-ages at 36 pupils per class,” he says.The government is aware of the limited

space at schools across the Peninsula, saysJessica Shelver, spokesperson for the pro-vincial minister of education.“The district director has already ordered

additional mobile classrooms to alleviatesome of the pressure for next year’s academ-ic year and is currently exploring other op-tions. One of the biggest challenges faced isacquiring suitable land to build a newschool,” she says.The area around Masiphumelele has seen

an influx of pupils from other provinces, ex-plains Shelver.Kikillus echoes this, saying his “greatest

concern is the fact that the population is

growing faster than our schools are keepingup”. This is only compounded by poor townplanning at council level, he says.“Kommetjie has several hundred dwell-

ings approved. Where exactly does govern-ment think the children fromthesedwellingsare going to attend school?” he says.Johan van der Merwe, mayoral committee

member for energy, environmental and spa-tial planning, says six private and public sec-tor residential developments were approvedover the last year after thenecessaryduedili-gence and legislative processes.“The City approves development applica-

tions in line with its spatial developmentframework and the southern district plan,both of which underwent public participato-ry processes,” he says.The provision of amenities, such as

schools and public facilities, is taken intoconsiderationwhen formulating and review-ing district plans but would also be consid-ered when assessing any land use applica-tion where additional rights are beingsought, he says.

OU KAAPSE WEG

Beware, we shareroads with natureMotorists need to bemore vigilant and re-

duce their speed when driving near na-ture reserves, especially at night, to avoidknocking down animals when they crossthe roads, often unexpectedly, the councilhas warned.

Recently a caracal andCapegrysbokwerekilled, and over the last year various ani-mals, including tortoises, Cape cobras,mole snakes, small-spotted genets and por-cupines, have been killed.

In most cases, animals are hesitant tocross roads because it is a foreign environ-ment to them so they will often do so sud-denly and unexpectedly, explains Johanvan der Merwe, mayoral committee mem-ber for energy, environmental and spatialplanning.

“The challenge is two-fold: Many of themotorists are not aware that they are driv-ing through these proclaimed nature re-serve areas, while at the same time manyof the animals are nocturnal, so it makes itdifficult for motorists to see the animals atnight when they unexpectedly cross theroads searching for food,” he says.

Motorists are urged to slow down and ad-here to speed restrictions, particularly atnight, when the nocturnal animals aremostat risk, Van der Merwe says.

“It is sad that over the past few monthsthere has been an increase in the numberof animals being killed, particularly alongOtto du Plessis Drive and the R27 as well as

Ou Kaapse Weg,” he says.“Capetonians are fortunate to share this

city with a range of unique plants and ani-mals, many of which are found nowhereelse in the world. We have a responsibilityto ensure that we conserve and protect ourbiodiversity. The loss of a single animal canhave a significant impact on the environ-ment.”

Motorists have been urged to slow downafter a number of animals, like a Capegrysbok, were killed near nature reserves.

The City of Cape Town will give a totalofR2million to community organisationsthat help residents.

Community organisations working inthe City’s areas of focus can apply for aportion of the funding now.

The policy allows for funding to bemade available to external organisationsto help deliver services in the City’s areaof responsibility, to enable communitydevelopment. TheCity has an establishedgrant-in-aid policy, but this is the firsttime that the social development and ear-ly childhood development directorate isdisbursing the funds.

“Our directorate is only a few years oldand so until now our focus has been ongetting our internal policies, process andprogrammes up and running,” said Su-zette Little, mayoral committee memberfor social development and early child-hood development.

“We are now in a better position tobuildpartnershipswith communityorga-nisations working in the social develop-

ment sector for the benefit of our resi-dents.”

Community organisations working inthe areas of early childhood develop-ment, street people, substance abuse,youth development, vulnerable groupsand poverty alleviation can apply forfunding.

The minimum amount per project isR100 000 and the applications need to in-clude a description of the project and abusiness plan.

“We are bound by legislation to doproper checks andbalances and to ensurethat the funds are spent wisely.

“I am excited about the prospect of em-powering organisations tohelpus changethe social fabric in our communitieswhere the need is greatest,” adds Little.

Application forms for grants are avail-able at the various social developmentand early childhood development districtoffices.V For more information call Patty des Fountain on021 417 0141 or Fatima Davids on 021 417 4086.

Province to have‘Madiba route’The provincial government wants to hon-our the legacy of former president NelsonMandela by developing a tourism routewhich traces his journey in the province.

Alan Winde, provincial minister of eco-nomic opportunities, says it is part of a se-ries of heritage tourism proposals to boostthe province’s growth.

The proposal comes from South AfricanTourism’s mobile app, which is based on amap of Madiba-inspired tourism attrac-tions.

“The map was launched last year to en-courage local and international tourists towalk in the footsteps of Madiba. We hopethese initiatives will offer an authentic ex-perience to visitors, allowing them to expe-rience a piece of the Western Cape’s richcultural heritage,” he says.

The proposal is to develop signage for theMadiba route, which will highlight cultur-ally significant sites in the province, Windeexplains.

“It is our goal to develop clear signage for

the Madiba route so tourists are able to easi-ly navigate to the different sites. We willwork with local and national tourism au-thorities to market the route. At this stagethis is a proposal, and we will engage therelevant stakeholders. Collaboration withkey roleplayers is key to ensure theproject’s success,” he says.

The proposed Mandela journey will bemade up of Robben Island, Pollsmoor pris-on, Drakenstein correctional services, CityHall and Parliament.

The proposal will be included in the ac-tion plan aimed at growing the tourism in-dustry. It will be submitted for approvalnext month.

“We can increase the economic contribu-tion of the tourism sector by up to R28bnfrom R17bn. It could add up to 100 000 for-mal jobs. Currently, 204 000 residents areformally employed in the tourism sector. Toachieve these goals, the private and publicsector have to collaborate and jointly investin a set of focused, specific projects.”

MUIZENBERG

Muggers set freeThree suspects have been arrested in con-

nection with muggings on Sunrise andSonwabi beaches.However, theywere let goagain.

A law enforcement officer was patrollingthe sand dunes in the area last week whenhe came across three teenagers hiding out.The trio fled when they spotted the officer,but he called for reinforcements and man-aged to catch all of the suspects with thehelp of a colleague.

At the Muizenberg police station, it wasestablished that the trio was wanted in con-nection with robberies on the beach.

Two are aged 16 and one 15, and they arefrom Capricorn, says JP Smith, mayoralcommittee member for safety and security.

“The issue of robberies along the beachwas recently raised in the media and ourstaff were therefore pleased with the break-through, only to be informed the followingday that none of the complainants were pre-pared to lay charges,” he says.

“As a result, the suspects remain free andwill more than likely continue committingcrimes until someone is prepared to stand

up, lay charges and let them face the conse-quences of their actions through the crimi-nal justice system.”

Law enforcement agencies are under im-mense pressure to address crime, Smithsays.

“However, it becomes very difficult to doso whenmembers of the public who fall vic-tim to criminals choose to turn their backson the process,” he says.

Successful prosecutions hinge on evi-dence and victims of crime are crucial linksin the prosecutorial chain. An arrest is butthe starting point in the process, Smith ex-plains.

“I would like to appeal to the public to as-sist us by laying charges and appearing incourt when called upon to testify. Withouttheir cooperation, the good work of our offi-cers aswell as thepolicewill come tonoughtand more people will fall victim to crimeslike these,” he says.

“While this particular case is a setback,our staff will continue patrolling thisstretch of coastline in a bid to prevent fur-ther incidents.”

Girl (17) and man killed on weekendA 17-year-old girl was killed, allegedly ingang violence, inOceanView thisweekend.

Community Police Forum (CPF) chair-person Kathy Cronje describing her deathas a “senseless murder”.

This follows reports of gang-relatedshootings every day for almost two weeks,Cronje says. OnMondaymorning last weekalone about six shots were heard, she says.

“When is it going to stop? It is getting pro-gressively worse, and nobody seems to beable to do anything about it. How are we go-ing to protect our families and our chil-dren?” she says.

Lieutenant-Colonel Jakobus Augus, com-mander of the Ocean View police station,confirms a young woman and a man weremurdered over the weekend, but says thesecannot be linked to gang activity.

In response to the shootings, the CPFwillbe holding amarch against violence, crime,illegal guns, drugs and gangsterism.

The march will begin at the KommetjieRoad entrance toOceanViewonFriday justbefore 19:00. All neighbourhood watches,security companies, religious organisa-tions, members of the public and NGOs areinvited to attend.

We hear of people taking the law into their own handsto deal with criminals, more often these days.Andwhile not only the hardened criminals, but also the

petty thieves are “punished for their crimes” by ordinarymembers of the community fed up by a “lack of policeaction”, very often vigilante justice becomes more thanjust a “simple hiding”.Recently, a suspectedmurderer paidwith his livewhen

residents of Kalkfontein decided to take the law into theirown hands.The reason? The community “distrusts” the police.

Theyalso complain about the lackof policing in their areaas is the case with other crime ridden areas across theCape.In a separate incident earlier thisweek, nine foreigners

and a South African were robbed at the bottom of Lion’sHead in Cape Town.When the victims chased the criminals after the rob-

bery, one called the SouthAfrican emergency number 112– without success.He phoned his mother, who tried phoning the 112 emer-

gency number as well as 10111 for over 20 minutes. Whenshe finally got through to the Cape Town Central policestation, the police officer on the phone did not knowwhere Lion’s Head is. The victims gave up after waitingon help to arrive for 35.Although the above incidents are not related , there is

an agreement: the police were conspicuous in their ab-sence.Such clumsy action (or rather a lack of any action) is

a blot on the name of our sergeants.The longer this poor service continues, the more the

community will continue to take the law into their ownhands – in itself a frightening and unacceptable idea!

Look out for morel mushroomI’m a Rondebosch-based mushroomforager and fungi researcher in need ofsome knowledge and/or advice fromFish Hoek residents who may havespotted an extremely rare mushroomgrowing in the valley.The morel mushroom is highly

sought-after for its excellent taste and isextremely rare to find in Cape Town.Research has led me to believe that

Fish Hoek was once a hotspot forforaging wild morels, but this is goingback over 50 years.

The morel is brown-yellow, shaped likea small conical brain and usually popsup in spring when the ground warmsup, at least in the northern hemisphereit does.They have been known to pop up after

fires and are believed to be mycorrhizal,meaning that they grow under certaintrees – in this case oak, ash, elm andapple orchards.I am curious as to whether they are

still around.Finding one, or a patch of them, would

be quite a discovery.Any information about these mush-

rooms and their last seen location wouldbe highly appreciated.I wish to find them and collect sam-

ples, as to preserve their spores forfuture propagation around the city.Eating them is undoubtedly a bonus!Please email me at [email protected] if

you know anything of this rare fungusthat grew in Fish Hoek.

Muggings, robberies must be reportedIt’s been safe and quiet for the last fewmonths at sunrise beach where localMuizenberg residents enjoy walkingtheir dogs or just taking a family stroll.But in the last week three violent

attacks have occurred.Two Sundays ago a man was robbed

at knife point and last Tuesday twoseparate incidents of ladies being robbedat gun point, at 10:00 by a couple of

youths.This is terrible. The sad thing is most

of these are never reported to the police,as people feel “What’s the point?” Thenthey complain that the police do noth-ing. These attacks need to be reported inorder for the law to do something aboutit!

Tragedy and farce come together in Brit-ish play A day in the death of Joe Egg,

which opens at the Masque Theatre inMuizenberg on Friday next week.

Written by Peter Nichols and based onhis own experiences of raising a handi-capped child, the popular play is well-known for being both heart-wrenching andvery funny.

The story revolves around a married cou-ple, Sheila and Brian, struggling to dealwith raising their cerebral palsied daugh-ter. They use humour to enable them tocope as their marriage falls apart under thestrain of caring for their child. The couple’swell-meaning friend, his wife and Brian’sinterfering mother all add to the chaos ofthe household.

The production stars Melissa Sandersonand Cata nominee Patrick Jordi.

Although A day in the death of Joe Eggwas originally written in 1967, directorLynn Moss has set the play in the presentday. Moss is no stranger to the Masque The-atre. Her highly successful directorial de-but last year with One for the road earnedher a Cata nomination for most promisingnewcomer as a director.

She’ll be teaming up with production de-signer Stephan Fourie, who was responsi-ble for the stunning set for Cat on a hot tinroof, which won best set at the Catas earlierthis year.

Presented by Constantiaberg TheatrePlayers, this production will be staged untilSaturday 8 August.V Tickets cost R80 or R70 for club members or R70and R60 for club members for matinee performances, with specials available for the performance onTuesday 4 August.

FIXER-UPPER

Buy a house tofix up yourselfWith house prices on the rise in most

popular areas, more buyers are opento the idea of acquiring a “fixer-upper”property.Such properties allow them to gain

cheaper entry to their favourite area in re-turn for some of their own labour or “sweatequity”.According to a press release by Richard

Gray, CEO of awell-known real estate com-pany, “buying a home that needs somework is a tried-and-tested formula for get-ting more house for your money — espe-cially if you’re handy and enjoy DIY, butyou do need to be able to tell the differencebetween a property that is worth workingon and one that would cost more to fix thanit will ever be worth.So what you should be looking for, he

says, are properties that require cosmeticfixes and have been somewhat discountedto allow for those, and homes that may re-quire more work, but are structurallysound andwhere the seller is reallywillingto negotiate a good deal.To help fixer-upper buyers, Gray’s com-

pany has compiled a list of items that arerelatively inexpensive to fix – andmay justgive you the leverage to acquire a hiddenbeauty of a home in your dream location.These include:. Faded paintwork, worn carpets,

scuffed and scarred countertops, old lightfittings and an overgrown garden, whichare all to be found in homeswhere the own-ers didn’t want to invest any more time ormoney prior to selling – and where all thatis really needed are a few purchases fromthe hardware and home improvement

stores, some spadework and a good clean tobring it up to standard.

. An ugly cloak over good structural“bones”.Sometimes all it takes is to get rid of badly-planned or executed additions and renova-tions to expose a well-designed home thatyou can return to its attractive originalform.

. Roof leaks and stained ceilings.Both these problems can usually be solvedby putting on a new roof – that may also cre-ate an opportunity to openupadated or darkinterior by leaving the beams exposed toroof height and perhaps installing some sky-lights.

. Bathrooms that are more than retro.Provided the plumbing is sound, it is reallyeasy to update a bathroom now with a hugerange of shower, bathtub and vanity optionson offer.

. An old kitchen.Replacing an entire kitchen is one of themost expensive renovations you can under-take, but also one of the best in terms of re-turn on your money and improving the live-ability an older home.

. Small rooms and dark interiors.Youwill need professional advice before youdo this, but by taking out non-load bearingwalls, you may well be able to create onemodern open-plan living area out of two orthree smaller rooms.However, says Gray, there are some prob-

lems that just can’t be fixed, no matter howmuch you spend, and you need to be surethat the fixer-upper you have your eye onhas none of these or it will just become amoney-pit.

If you like DIY, buying a house to fix up yourself might be a good idea. PHOTO: DREAMSTIME

The Western Province CricketClub Badgers (WPCC) hockeyteam has repeated last year’s

heroics and successfully defendedtheir Greenfields Elite Club Chal-lenge title in Durban at the week-end.

The tournament boasts the larg-est total prize money for a SouthAfrican hockey tournament.

WPCC pocketed R25 000 for its ef-forts in securing the tournament’stop honours, which is the highestprize money ever awarded inSouth African hockey history.

The Greenfields Elite Club Chal-lenge is the only non-tertiary na-tional hockey tournament on theSA circuit to feature the country’stop club hockey teams.

The tournament was establishedin 2013 by Riverside Sports andRiverside Hockey Club to show-case proficient top class hockey bypremier players in a festival typetournament.

This year, spectators were treat-ed to an even more exciting displayof intense hockey performancesfrom SA’s top players and clubs.

Participating teams included theBadgers, Kearsney Hockey Club(2nd), Riverside Hockey Club (3rd),Wanderers Hockey Club (4th) andOld Edwardians Hockey Club

(5th), who were also newcomers tothe tournament, and Malik Old Al-banians Hockey Club (6th).

Deserved championsThe Badgers would seal the deal

in the final match of the festival,beating Kearsney 3-0, with goalsfrom captain Andrew Cronje, Matt-hew McConkey and Ryan Crowe.

According to Jon Cook, the Badg-ers were fully deserved champi-ons: “Throughout this outstandingevent, the Badgers were compactin defence, inventive in midfieldand composed in front of goal.

“The Cape Town side were alsoindebted to their inspirationalgoalkeeper Mark Turner, whomade a number of breathtakingsaves at vital moments in histeam’s four matches.

“The impressive Kearsney outfitmade the Badgers work hard forthe victory, yet the goal scoring op-portunities they created didn’ttranslate into dividends.”

“We hope to grow this tourna-ment in the years to come and hostother big-name soccer clubs inCape Town. We ask for the supportof the entire Cape Town communi-ty to make this event a hugely suc-cessful one.”

Tickets cost between R150 andR325, with the City offering an“early bird” promotion: Buy aR200ticket for Friday’s matches (forseats on themiddle tier of thenorthand south stands of the Cape Townstadium) and receive the added bo-nus of a free ticket to Sunday’s fi-nal day.
