Woman’s throat slit at backpackersTERESA FISCHER

A 50-year-old woman is in aserious condition in hos-

pital after her throat was slitat The Beach Lodge in Muizen-berg.

Evelyn Born, an employee ofthe backpackers, located at Surf-er’s Corner, was airlifted to hos-pital after the assault, which hap-pened at 16:00 on Wednesday 18January.

Staff at Gaslight Cafe, whocame to her aid, declined to com-ment, saying they were still trau-matised by what had happened.An eyewitness, who asked not tobe named, describes the scene as“horrific” and says the victimwas covered in blood from neckto feet. Police confirmed an un-disclosed amount of money hadbeen taken, but had not yet deter-mined if anything else was miss-ing.

At the backpackers, visitorsneed to ring the bell at a securitygate facing the beach and thentake the stairs to the reception ar-ea, where it understood the inci-dent occurred. This front areacan be locked but was open whenPeople’s Post visited the building.

Staff, who asked not to benamed, said there were no guestsinside at the time of the incident,and that Born was workingalone.

Dave Jones, of the Empire, Ca-fe says: “I consider the area pret-ty safe – the event was extremelyodd and makes me think there ismore to the story.”

The man said to own thepremises later declined to com-ment when contact by telephone,saying via his receptionist thathe was not in fact the owner, andadding that he did not know why

the newspaper had been givenhis name.

At 13:00 on the day after the as-sault, police arrested a 21-year-old man at his Muizenberg home.Warrant Officer November Fi-lander says the suspect was dueto appear in theMuizenbergMag-istrate’s Court on Monday 23 Jan-uary. He was to be charged withattempted murder and businessrobbery. Filanderwouldnot com-ment on speculation that the sus-pect was an employee of TheBeach Lodge, saying the matterwas still under investigation.

Jones adds that he saw the vic-tim being transferred to the heli-copter by paramedics. “Everyonethere was calm and professional.It stood out how well trained andpractised they are.”

He says that the MuizenbergImprovement District has re-placed the informal car guardswith “Beach Buddies”, sayingthe programme is an excellentidea and is seen to be workingwell. He adds: “There are crimes,obviously. Tourists are bait andMuizenberg is within walkingdistance of poorer areas.”

Bruce Anderson, from the Life-style Surf shop next door, says:“The beachfront area is prettysafe, but you take your chancesif you walk in the village. Mui-zenberg is the place we love tohate, but that’s just South Africaunfortunately... one has to learnto adapt and survive. It really up-sets me that I can’t walk home atnight without having to con-stantly watch my back.”

Andre Visser of ER24 con-firmed the victim was in a seri-ous condition at Groote SchuurHospital . The Hospital was una-ble to provide an update on hercondition, as their spokespersonwas on leave.

Anyone with informationregarding the incident cancontact the Muizenberg Po-lice on (021) 787 9000 or CrimeStop on 0860 010 111.

Building greener, prouder schoolsAS part of the Back to School Campaign,Proudly South African will featurethree member companies making a posi-tive difference in education, the lives ofchildren and job creation.

This week, Minieze Taylor, corporate so-cial investment manager at greenOFFICE,is featured.

His focus is educating the youth about en-vironmental responsibility and the positivedifference they can make to their schoolsand community.

“The greenSCHOOL programme waslaunched to get learners, their parents,teachers and the community involved inmaking a positive difference on our planet,”says Taylor.

“The greenSCHOOL programme is a cor-porate social investment (CSI) initiative ofgreenOFFICE, which aims to assist learn-ers in actively participating in recyclingprogrammes, raising funds for theirschool’s green initiatives such as wastemanagement.”

He says learners collect used printer car-tridges and take them to school, wheregreenOFFICE collects them.

Some schools have been collecting for thelast five years.

“The funds go to the school, and for every100 cartridges collected, greenOFFICE do-

nates a tree to the school. Over the past yeargreenOFFICE has donated more than 30trees to schools nationwide. The green-SCHOOL programme is constantly educat-

ing learners about recycling and the bene-fits.”

greenSCHOOL attends school assembliesand various school functions.

“The greenSCHOOL programme reachesfuture recyclers and conveys the message ofbeing sustainable in simple and practicalways,” says Taylor.

“The highlight has been the ability togrow the greenSCHOOL programme. It hascertainly been an achievement for us. Theprogramme started with only four schoolsin 2006 and grew to assist over 55 schoolsin 2011.”

He says challenge is that the lack of educa-tion prevents a lot of people from recyclingproperly.

“The greenSCHOOL programme is con-stantly educating the community, to coun-ter a lack of knowledge and skills. We areslowly but surely reaching a group of youngminds who will grow up to become the am-bassadors of recycling in their homes andcommunities.”

The greenSCHOOL programme hopes tocollect 100 000 cartridges in 2012.

“We would like to keep all the cartridgeswecollect out of landfill andhave themrecy-cled by our non-profit organisation, greenA-BLE.

“Naturally, we would like to add moreschools to our programmes. Continuing agreat relationship with current schools isvital to the success of greenSCHOOL, so thisis definitely a goal for 2012 and beyond,”says Taylor.

OFFICE AGENT: Pierre Lamont and students from Maragon Private School with their collec­tion of used cartridges.

Dead baboonfound in flatsTHE body of a juvenile baboon was foundlying in the corridor of a block of flats inDa Gama Park on Wednesday 18 January.According to the Baboon Liaison Group,the death is considered suspicious and anautopsy will be done to determine thecause.

Anyone with information please contactNature Conservation on 071 588 6540 or theBaboon Reporting Hotline on 071 588 6540.

Man drowns in KommetjieTHE body of a man who drowned inKommetjie on Saturday 21 Januarywas found later in the day.

Tom Coetzee, National Sea Res-cue Institute (NSRI) Kommetjie sta-tion commander, says at 15:43 theNSRI received a report of a manmissing in the surf at Inner Komm,near the Kommetjie boat slip-way.

“It appears that a 29-year-old fa-ther was swimming with his eight-year-old son when he got into diffi-culty and disappeared underwaterat around 11:30 this morning.

“Two eye-witnesses and the

child, as well as other bystandersclaimed that they tried to raise thealarm, but it is not clear how theydid this. Police are investigating.”he said.

During the search NSRI volun-teers located and recovered thebody of the man, who has been in-dentified as Christopher Robinsonfrom Ocean View.

Thirteen people have been res-cued at Kommetjie since 1 Decem-ber last year. Twenty-two peopledrowned in the Province this fes-tive season.

Baboon returns to mountainTERESA FISCHER

DUBBED “Johnnie Walker”, alone male baboon that wonderedthrough Harfield Village, Kenil-worth and Rondebosch last weekappears to have made his wayback to the mountain.

On Tuesday 17 January, hepaused on the roof of Hobnobs res-taurant in Kenilworth, but evadedauthorities.

“He probably wanted a beer,”joked Graham Schaffers of Plum-stead,who followed thebaboon, tak-ing some photographs as it restedon the wall of a veterinary clinic.“He was exhausted from running,”says Shaffers.

Then on Thursday, the animalwas captured inside the kitchen ofa Rondebosch house, but managedto escape before he was darted.

Dr Elzette Jordan, a veterinarianwith the City of Cape Town’s Envi-ronmental Resource ManagementDepartment, says it has not been es-tablished if he is indeed a “rogue ba-boon”.

“The male was a dispersing male,

looking for another troop to join ashe does not want to stay and breedin his family troop. This is a perfect-ly natural happening within the ba-boon world and how they deal withthe problem of possible interbreed-ing. It is, even in the natural world,always a journey fraught with dan-gers. He is alone, without the pro-tection of a troop, and he has to faceother males who might want tofight. Should he find a troop hewishes to join he has to play a veryintricate social game in order to beaccepted into the ranks.”

She adds where he will “pop outnext is anyone’s guess”.

Jordan went on to say the baboonhas not been identified with 100 per-cent accuracy and therefore theCity cannot comment on his histo-ry. She says this affects the possibleoutcomes should he be caught.

According to Jordan, the variousoptions are:

. Return to the native troopshould it transpire that this is hisfirst attempt at dispersing.

. Translocation to another troopon the Peninsula where there is agap for a new male due to a favoura-

ble sex-ratio in the potential receiv-ing troop.

. Euthanasia, should none of theother options be open or valid, orshould his history as a raiding malewarrant such a decision.

Brett Glasby, the SPCA’s wildlifeunit manager, explains the biggestconcern is people feeding the ba-boon or chasing and throwingstones at it.

He adds it is difficult to dart ba-boons in public places, as it takeseight minutes for the drugs to takeeffect and there is also the addedrisk of hitting a bystander.

Regarding worries that the ba-boon would be euthanased, he saysthe protocol involves weighing upaggravating circumstances, suchascontinual raiding and whether theareas raidedhaveadequate garbagecontrol.

He says the decision goes throughthree committees.

The SPCA no longer darts ba-boons, but Glasby says he worksclosely with the Nature Conserva-tion Corporation which managesbaboons for the City, to ensureproper procedures are followed.

Fond farewell to Fish Hoek CID headA FOND Fish Hoek farewell was paid tostalwart Fish Hoek City ImprovementDistrict (CID) manager Frank Johnstoneand his wife Denise at the Galley Restau-

rant last Wednesday night.

They move to Johannesburg this week af-ter living in Fish Hoek for the past 25 years.

Frank was the first manager ofthe CID after it was founded inJanuary 2000 by the late CliveWakeford, who passed away lastyear, and Janet Holwill, who re-mains a member of the CID’s ex-ecutive committee.

During various speeches by in-fluential members of the FishHoek business community onWednesday night, Frank washonoured for his relentless com-mitment to making the centralbusiness district of Fish Hoek asafe and pleasant trading areaduring the 11 years he served asCID manager.

Janet Holwill said that Frankhad been the right person for thejob from the start. “When CliveWakeford and I, with the backingof the Fish Hoek Chamber ofCommerce, started the CID it waswith great enthusiasm to dowhatever it took to improve MainRoad. Frank came on board asour first manager and couldn’thave been a better choice. Be-sides being responsible, hard-working and full of integrity, he is generallya very calm man who can handle the most ex-plosive situations. Crime and grime are thefirst things to be tackled by any improvementdistrict, and he did this with his usual effi-ciency. As a result, we have today a MainRoad that is safe and clean.”

Alderman Felicity Purchase, chairpersonof the South Peninsula Subcouncil, said thatFrank is respected for his integrity, reliabili-ty, courage and kindness.

“One of the CID’s biggest achievementswhile Frank was manager was the successfulestablishment of a camera surveillance sys-tem for the CBD. The system proved so effec-tive that it is often looked at by the City ofCape Town as an example for other CBDs,”Purchase said.

On the eve of Frank’s departure, the CIDgained the go-ahead from the subcouncil touse premises in First Avenue as a controlroom for its camera surveillance system.Rick Bing, member of the CID executive com-mittee, unveiled plaques on Wednesday nightthat will be placed in the CID’s premises tohonour the founding members of the CID bynaming three rooms in the office after CliveWakeford, Janet Holwill and Frank John-stone.

Clearly moved by the farewell and tributes,Johnstone said that one “has to feel proud ofFish Hoek, the businesses, the people”. Hesaid he and his wife were moving to Johan-nesburg to be closer to family, but the couplewould dearly miss the town.

They leave for their new home on Friday.

Hokisa celebrates 10 yearsTERESA FISCHER

HELEN Zille, Western Cape Pre-mier, was one of 60 guests who

joined the community in celebra-tionof10 successfulyearsatHokisaChildren’s Home, in Masiphumele-le, on Tuesday.

An impressive network of healthand education NGOs were present.

Dr Lutz van Dijk, co-founder ofHokisa, says they also welcomed theGerman General-Consul, Hans-DieterBussmann, and Dr Werner Simon andwife Birgit from Berlin – who havebeen supporters of Hokisa for manyyears. They brought a donation, col-lected by German learners and a giftof soccer kits for the Masi children.

The Premier praised the Hokisa Children’sHome as a holistic place of care which shouldbe replicated in other parts of the country.

Dr Nomfundo Walaza, CEO of the DesmondTutu Peace Foundation, was also present.

Archbishop Tutu gave his blessings to Hokisaat the opening in 2002 and will be invited laterthis year. Plans for the construction of a newwing for the Hokisa teenagers were sharedwith the guests.

Van Dijk describes the gathering as “very

Pic­tured here, theGrade Eights getready for a ball andspoon race.

READY STEADY: The Rock Academy in Fish Hoek’s 2012 Grade 1 class capture a new schoolmemowith their teacher, Lee Holgate. They went back to school on Wednesday 18 January.

The right wayACCESS and the right to education should behonoured and respected.

Last year Cape Peninsula University ofTechnology (CPUT) students protested andagain this year.

Both protests were marred by violent inci-dents, with looting the institution’s cafeteriamaking the news in 2011 and pelting stonesat security last week sparking reaction fromCPUT management.

When violence and destructive behaviourovershadow what may constitute a noble mo-tivation behind a demonstration, sympathyand empathy dissipate.

Yes, the students have a sound reason forprotesting, but the manner in which theyhave, is unacceptable in civilised society; andhas courted nothing but disastrous conse-quences for them.

Some of the protesters have been barredfrom registration, while others were evictedfrom residence.

Criminal complaints were filed against stu-dents for the stone throwing.

The protesters were opposed to the hike inregistration fees.

Yesterday, CPUT published an ad in the lo-cal press, explaining its fees’ increase. It stat-ed: “Council was aware that not all studentswould be able to afford the upfront paymentand created a safety net by asking the CPUTmanagement to negotiate and accommodateas far as possible, those students who havedifficulty in raising the upfront payment.”

CPUT management and student leadershipmet on 12 January about concerns around thefees increase, with management willing tocontinue discussions with students.

Education is pivotal to creating a better lifeand future for oneself and generations tocome and more so, for those previously mar-ginalised.

It is indeed a sad day when the importanceof education is undermined by selfish behav-iour, more suited to criminals than the coun-try’s future captains of industry.

Fred’s brain was not the problemIN response to Lynette’s tribute to Eric(“Farewell to our special Eric”, People’s Post,17 January) missing since November, Bafa-na, from the Da Gama Park troop also wentmissing in November. A decomposing bodyof a baboon was found in Kommetjie in Janu-ary. Could officials confirm if this was Eric?

The series Baboons with Bill Bailey, aboutthree local baboon troops, the Da Gama,Tokai and Smitswinkel troops, is currentlyon Animal Planet.

Fred, alpha male of the Smitswinkel troop,is one of the stars of the programme, madea few months before his culling in March2011.

However, this month people around theworld were appalled to also see Fred as theposthumous “star” of Rogue baboon – Insidenature’s giants, a graphically gory dissectionprogramme with an evolutionary bias. Alsofeatured were a veterinary scientist, a com-parative anatomist and a researcher fromthe Cape Peninsula Baboon Research Unit(BRU).

On the programme, Fred’s arm and hand,said tobe similar to ahuman’s,were cut opento show the tendons. He was emasculated, anapple put into his cheek pouch to demon-strate its capacity, the skin removed fromhalf his face to show the muscles that givebaboon expressions and his head sawn opento reveal his “big brain”.

“Poor Fred,” said the scientist, “too cleverfor his own good.”

Fred’s intelligence was not the real prob-lem when all humans needed to do to prevent

Fred raiding cars, was lock the car door andclose the window or baboon-proof theirhouse or bin.

What happens to other baboons after theydie or are culled? Are they also used for re-search purposes?LORNA THOMASFish Hoek

Festive Navy lights sorely missedWHO can tell me why there were no Christ-mas lights or decorations on the Navy Vesselsin the harbour this past Christmas?

We have lived in Simon’s Kloof for the past16 years, have had a guest house for that peri-od and enjoyed having guests comment on theNavy Christmas lights displayed during thefestive season.

Sadly it is not only visitors from overseasand local holiday makers, but also the resi-

dents of the Far South that have suddenly hada small pleasure taken away.

What is the reason?Who was told that this would be the situa-

tion?Why are we left in the dark?Who rules the waves now?Aagh what a shame.

Doors open for an exciting 2012 at Chas EverittFALSE Bay and surrounding areashave started off the New Year witha bang!

After a successful year-end rush,Chas Everitt False Bay has been in-undated with new buyers and in-vestors who are shopping for homesand “lock-up-and-go” type secureaccommodation.

There are many homes up for saleand we are kept busy as a result.

Buyers are, through our expo-sure on multiple websites, visitingus and sellers are turning to us be-cause of our exclusive listings.

Also, many welcome Gautengersvisit us with special requirements;security being a top priority.

Sadly, many are battling to sellhomes in Gauteng but are still keento assess the availability of homesin False Bay, which we are pleasedto say is withstanding the generalslowdown prevalent in other partsof the country.

The residential property markethere in False Bay is therefore pret-ty buoyant and there are alwaysproperties for sale, for the usualreasons. But this year there is a re-

newed impetus because of the glo-bal economic situation, and be-cause it is now officially a buyer’smarket.

Some sellers are having to lowertheir estimation of their propertiesworth as a result.

A hard reality to face up to!Buyers are putting “cheeky of-

fers” on the table and much negotia-tion is taking place.

Homes in the higher priced cate-gories are taking the brunt of thedownturn as a result.

Selling (asking prices) at between

R1 million to R1.5 million is wherethe bulk of sales is taking place.

Somesales arebeing concludedat15% to 17% below asking prices, al-though there have been sales at be-tween R3 million and R5 million onthe mountainside.

Clovelly is a sought-after loca-tion, especially for golfers, whoknow the famous 18-hole coursewell and choose to be near to thishaven and the beach.

Something fishy in MuizenbergTERESA FISCHER

THERE is a new big fish at Muizenberg’sbeach front, but it’s no shark.

A cheerful green Koi fish mural emergedthis week on the wall of the toilets, facing thesea. Dave Jones from the Empire Cafe posteda photograph of it on his Facebook page, “Mu-izen Berg”, and by Friday it had received 122“likes” and plenty of positive comments suchas “spectacular”, “rad” and “shweet”.

Shani Judes of SJ artists funded the mural,which was painted by an artist from Sau Pau-lo, Brazil, called Binho Ribeiro. Judes saysthey have permission to create murals on sixother walls, but that the cost will be about R10000 per mural.

“If anyoneknowsof anyonewho lovesMuziand wants to see more, the artists are keen.We just need funding.”

On facebook, some posters commented thatthe fish appeared to be swimming upsidedown, but Judes explains that the fish is not

“belly up” as the white section in the middleis his back. She explains it symbolises uplift-ment and says there has been an “awesome”reaction.

The Muizenberg Improvement District(MID) supports murals and public art, witha view to beautifying the environment and at-tracting visitors to the area.

The MID manager, who asked not to benamed for security reasons, supports Judes’efforts. “Graffiti has been an issue in Muizen-berg for many years and is a sensitive matter

with the local community,” she says, addingthat various groups and individuals, includ-ing the MID, have made it their business toclear defaced surfaces with graffiti-bustinginitiatives. ’

She says: “In contrast to ugly tagging andmessy graffiti, graphically designed muralsare works of art which have a positive impacton perception of the quality of experience inany given public space.”

HE doesn’t consider himself anartist but Joseph Awalih’s cre-ations are beautiful and full ofcharacter.

No matter the weather, Awalihstands on the side of the road nearthe Kommetjie Road intersectionin Sun Valley, selling his fish.

Moulded from sheets of scrapmetal, his fish have wonderfullyexpressive faces – droopy eyelidsand pursed lips, and detailed fin-ishes.

He welds the scales and othermarkings on his work, and thenfinishes them off with a clear var-nish. Their scales shimmer in thesunlight.

Thick wire is used in makingtheir fins.Awalih (28) lives in SunValley, but is originally from Ma-lawi, where he learnt to make thefish from a friend.

“It’s about survival,” he says.He is married with a wife and ba-by in Malawi.

For a while he lived in Kynsna,and his ocean inspired creationswere also popular there.

He explains that he buys sheetsof the scrap and works on batchesof them from his home.

In a month he can sell between10 and 20 fish.

To add to the school, there arealso smaller fish to choose from.

He sells to tourists and locals inequal numbers. “They say theyare very beautiful,” he says withquiet modesty.

Badminton pioneer honoured as a ‘legend’MARK WARD

BADMINTON stalwart FinnStender was amongst several sportspersonalities honoured as “Leg-ends” by the Western Cape sportscommunity and the Department ofCultural Affairs and Sport.

Finn (77) started playing badmin-ton in 1944 and was ranked secondin the country during the 1960’s.

Between 1981 and 2009 he servedin various administrative capaci-ties at both provincial and nationallevel.

He is currently a life member andthe honorary president of the West-ern Province Badminton Associa-

tion. Finn was one of 33 legendshonoured during the ceremony.

This was the seventh edition ofthe awards function, which tookplace just before Christmas at theKirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

These awards honoured pioneersof different sporting codes whohave contributed to the transforma-tion and development of their par-ticular code of sport.

The recipients were recognisedfor their contribution, not only ona national level but specifically tothe Western Cape.

This year legends in rugby, ca-noeing, dance sport, badminton,sailing and netball, were honoured.

Ivan Meyer, MEC for Cultural Af-fairs and Sport in the Western Cape,was the keynote speaker at theevent, and lauded the recipients fortheir contribution in upholdingtrue sportsmanship.

“A legend is not a hero. A hero issomeone who will be rememberedfor now, but a legend is someonewho will be remembered forever.Today I am honoured and proud tobe amongst you because you aretrue legends,” said Meyer.

“We lived through painful timeswhen the colour of your skin pre-vented you from stepping out ontothe sports field, no matter howmuch talent you were blessed with.

“We lived through a time whereour own brothers and sisters leftSouth Africa to go and play for oth-er countries, which welcomed themand saw only a great sporting star.They didn’t see in black and white.Thankfully that time has passed.For this I am honoured to be in yourpresence.”

“Through your refusal to be putdown by a racist political system,through your commitment to upliftyour community and train yourneighbours and their children,through your fighting and sportingspirit, we now live in a true democ-racy. A democracy that is colour-blind.”

LIAM MOSES

THE Western Cape has long beenconsidered to be one of the mostprolific producers of talentedrugby players in South Africa,and one of the most prolific in theworld.

And this belief was proven againon Saturday, when a youthfulStormers team brushed aside theBoland Kavaliers in their firstwarm-up game of the 2012 SuperRugby season.

The Stormers went into thematch without the services of expe-rienced players such AndriesBekker, Schalk Burger, BryanHabana, Duane Vermeulen, GioAplon or any of the regulars wholead the teamtovictory in theSouthAfrican conference of the 2011 Su-per Rugby campaign.

However, despite the absence ofso many first choice players, Al-ister Coetzee’s charges still man-aged to run in seven tries and winthe match 45-17.

The Stormers pack dominatedthe collision point from virtuallythe first minute, and it wasn’t longbefore they were to profit from theirsuperior fervour for physicality.

Young tight-head prop Frans Mal-herbe was the first to set the score-keepers to task when he barged

over the try line in the fifthminute.

Bolla Conradie, a player atthe opposite end of the age andexperience spectrum, was nextto cross the whitewash for theStormers, when he slicedthrough the Boland defence 10minutes later.

Conradie played with a hun-ger equal to any of his youngteam mates, and two minuteslater he pierced Boland’s de-fence again, and grubberedthrough for Danie Poolman tochase.

The wing was tackled with-out the ball in the in-goal areaby a back-tracking Kavaliersdefender, resulting in a penal-ty try for the Stormers.

Poolman visited Boland’s in-goal area again 20 minutes lat-er, and this time the Kavalierswere unable to stop him fromdotting down for the last try ofthe first half.

The Stormers resumed theirsuperiority in the early ex-changes of the second-half, butsome typical early-season er-rors and enterprising playfrom Boland lead to Tries fromJonathan Francke and Junior Be-ster in the 41st and 45th minutes re-spectively.

Coetzee’s team were not to be out-

done and hit back with scores fromNamibian international flank Ro-han Kitshof and No 8 Nizaam Carrin the 55th and 68th minutes respec-tively, and closed out the game with

a try from stalwart hookerTiaan Liebenberg, a second-half replacement, in the 80thminute.

The comprehensive victo-ry will help to allay fearsthat the team could be shorton depth in key positions forthis coming season.

Conradie, who last playedfor the Stormers in 2010,proved a steadying hand atscrumhalf and will be an ad-equate replacement for first-choice scrumhalf DewaltDuvenhage in case of an en-forced lay-off.

New signings BurtonFrancis, JP du Plessis andGerhard van den Heever al-so performed well and couldfeature regularly this sea-son.

Francis, a former BlueBulls player who was signedfrom the Lions, providesmuch needed cover at fly-half, a position where theStormers have been short-staffed and injury-hit, whileDu Plessis, who returned toSouth Africa after a spell in

Australia playing both Rugby Un-ion and Rugby League, will lessenthe impact made by the departuresof centres Johann Sadie (BlueBulls) and Jacque Fourie (Japan),

and Van den Heever, signed fromthe Blue Bulls, provides Coetzeewith an excellent option at fullbackor on either wing.

The side’s other two off-seasonsignings, Joe Pietersen and DeonCarstens, who both returned toSouth Africa after plying theirtrade abroad, did not take part inthe game. The speedy developmentof youngsters at the union has alsoswelled the Stormers’ forwardranks. Props Frans Malherbe andSteven Kitshoff could see signifi-cant game time this season, whilethe team’s established lock partner-ship of Rynhard Elstadt and An-dries Bekker will have to fight tostave off the challenge of QuinnRoux and Eben Etzebeth, and thepresence Nizaam Carr, YayaHartzenberg, Siya Kolisi, Nic Ko-ster, Nick Fenton-Wells and Rue-ben Johannes will ease the Storm-ers passage into life without Spring-bok flank Francois Louw, who leftfor English club Bath at the end oflast season.

Coetzee will know that, despitewinning the Currie Cup First Divi-sion in 2011, Boland are a worldaway from the quality they will faceevery week in Super Rugby.

The Stormers will face stiffer op-position this week, when they clashwith 2011 Currie Cup championsthe Lions at Newlands on Friday.
