HANOVER PARK

‘We need the army’SAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

It has been the worst year yet inHanover Park, residents say.

With the death toll rising dailyto one of the highest in the country,residents have grown tired of themany empty promises and lack ofinterest other organisations haveshown in addressing the problem.

And speculations have risen thatthe guns and ammunition could besupplied by illegal sideline busi-nesses.

“Where are these gangsters get-ting the guns? Every day we readthe newspapers we see so many il-legal guns confiscated, so theremust be someone supplying gunsto non-licensed owners. In manycases serial numbers are filed offand can’t be traced back to therightful owners. What can be doneto track them down?” a residentasks.

And because of the increase inthe guns, residents say HanoverPark is not the same anymore.

“Shots are fired from all direc-tions and this has sadly become anorm in the area. So much ammu-nition and somany guns are on thestreets. The small things we aretrying to do are making an impact– but only a small impact. We needmore people to stand with us if wewant to see a change. These gang-sters are ruthless andhave very lit-tle regard for the innocent lives.Noplace is safe anymore,” she says.

Resident Johwaya Abbass sayschange starts at home.

“If we want to see a change par-ents should stand together wheth-er their children are involved ornot. We must not cover up for ourchildren,” she says.

Abbass agrees this has been the

toughest year for the area.“In previous years when the

gangs were fighting communityleaders could talk to them and askthem to come to a peace agreement.The way it is now, there is no waythis can be done. We have had nopeace and no sleep for months onend,” she says.

“We need the army,” the mothersays.

“They have the power to come inand take care of the problem.”

Hanover Park Ratepayers’ Asso-ciation chairperson Errol Davidssays theywant to see real interven-tion.

“We have had marches aftermarches and that is fine, but it is

not making enough of a differencein the area. We have written topresident Jacob Zuma to inter-vene. We need him to declare thisarea a state of emergency. Policeand government must take con-trol,” he says.

Philippi police spokespersonLieutenant Lance Goliath says thepolicehavemany integratedopera-tions but can’t fix the problemsalone.

“Police are putting in the extraeffort to ensure the community issafer but they too must play theirpart. We want the community tojoin their court and street commit-tees and join our rewards pro-grammes,” he says.

The programme includes confid-ing in a trustworthy police officer.

“There are corrupt officials within the police but they are the mi-nority,” he says.

Police are also in the process ofimplementing a multi sectorial ap-proach to put an end to the gang vi-olence from the grassroots.

The forumwill consist of organi-sations and the broader communi-ty with the aim of addressing thelackof resources given to theyouthin the area.

And with other technology andprogrammes already implement-ed, police are hopeful that once thedust has settled the communitywill see a difference.

“Residents are quick to air theirviews about the police but do notjoin the fight. We have mass mobi-lisations in the area but majorityof residents are sitting at home notinterested. We are encouragingthem to show support and helpwinthis fight,” adds Goliath.

Abbass agrees.“If we all stand together somuch

can change,” she says.The first multi-sectorial meeting

will be held onThursday 11Decem-ber at 19:00 at the Hanover ParkCommunity Centre. All residentsare welcome.V Share your views. Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSescost R1.

Shot Spotter a crimefighting toolA three-month pilot project has shown thatthe Shot Spotter system would be hugelybeneficial to the fight against crime.The City of Cape Town is running a gun-

fire detection technology pilot project inHanover Park using the Shot Spotter tech-nology.The objectives of the pilot project include

verifying the system’s ability to reliably andaccurately detect and locate gunfire; gather-ing gunfire data which includes the numberof incidents, shots fired and hotspot loca-tions and exposing various law enforcementagencies to the technology.The pilot started on Sunday 17 August and

the initial phase concluded on Saturday 15November.During this period, 344 incidents were re-

corded, with a total of 1 106 shots fired.According toMayoral Committeemember

for Safety and Security JP Smith as a resultof the pilot project Metro Police are now re-sponding to every gunshot as opposed to onein five or one in eight.In a statement, he says: “This has had the

effect of suppressing the amount of gunfireand has allowed us to confiscate illegal fire-arms, arrest suspects with outstanding war-rants, find illegal drugs and gather usefulcrime intelligence.”He also explains it has improved the rela-

tionship with the community.The project has seen a reduction in the

number of shooting incidents since thelaunch, as a result of Metro Police’s abilityto respond more accurately. During this pe-riod, officers have also made more than 50arrests inHanoverPark for drugpossession,outstanding warrants for murder and at-temptedmurder, aswell as possessionof ille-gal firearms and ammunition.According to Smith they confiscated eight

firearms and a homemade firearm.In addition, the data gathered will assist

law enforcement agencies in building amore strategic and tactical response capabil-ity based on actual gunfire data.

“It is important to temper public expecta-tion – the three-month pilot project was nev-er meant to be a magic wand that wouldmake all available resources fall into placeand the problem would be solved,” he says.Smith explains the Shot Spotter is an ena-

bler to a much bigger strategy in combatinggun and gang violence. “However, to makethe technology work for us, we need a part-nership with the police so that we can growour pool of resources to be able to fully ex-ploit the intelligence the system provides.

Shot Spotter yields invaluable evidence thatdetectives can use in their investigations in-to attempted murders and murders.”The statement says the City is able to

sharedatawithpolice atno cost topolice andas their participation will be crucial in de-termining whether the City should acquirethe system permanently.“Deciding whether the technology is a

worthwhile investment to install perma-nently in Hanover Park and expand to othersuburbs besieged with gang violence andgunfire is a decision we will soon make andthe guidance from police in this regardwould be of critical importance.”

SYBRAND PARK

Party park needs policingTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

Revving engines, the sound of clinkingalcohol bottles and loud music aresome of the noises keeping Sybrand

Park residents awake over weekends.The park along Klipfontein and Lente

roads has become the popular spot forsounds-off and drinking on Friday and Sat-urday evenings.

And now homeowners are asking policeand council to intervene.

Sybrand Park Ratepayers’ Associationchairperson Dr Richard Hill says the or-ganisation has met with local councillorAnthea Green to appeal to have a boomplaced at the entrance of the public openspace to prevent cars from gaining access.

“At the moment there is a gap in thefence and that is how cars are gaining ac-cess to the park. The noise disturbs resi-

dents and it also attracts opportunisticcriminals into the area because there is noone monitoring the people entering the ar-ea to gather there and drink,” says Hill.

“We’ve had a meeting with residentswho felt strongly about having a boom in-stalled so that people won’t be able to useit. It will help to police the spot as well.”

In addition to the anti-social behaviourtaking place on the field, residentswalkingpast the field are often robbed by thieveshiding under the bridge.

“Because it is not being regulated andthere is easy access to the field, it is easyfor people to run in and hide out there. Theneighbourhood watch has sent many trol-ley pushers out of the area who have gath-ered there with their trolleys or bins. It isa major concern.”

Green says she has forwarded the re-quest to the relevantCity ofCapeTown linedepartment and is awaiting feedback.

“A site visit will take place in due courseand if funding is available a boom will beconsidered, but it is public open space andcan’t be closed.”

Mowbray police spokesperson WarrantOfficer Derek van der Merwe confirmsarmed robberies and theft have increasedin the area over the last few months.

He also confirms that complaints ofnoise and drinking in public on the openspace are logged at the station every week-end.

“Patrol vans are deployed every week-end to check up on activity taking place onthe field. There is no lighting so it makesit [easier] for people to drink and do otherillegal activities without being caught, butthe space has been attracting biggercrowds recently making it difficult to con-tain it,” he says.

“Having additional lighting and a se-cured fencing around the area will make

a big difference. This is one of the hotspotcrime spots in Sybrand Park.”

Resident Johnathan Radley says he isdisgusted by the litter and bottles left be-hind on the field after theweekend parties.

“People are coming from other areas tocause a disruption and dump in our com-munity. They need to drink and make anoise on their own doorsteps, not ours.This place looks filthy on a Sunday and itisn’t nice to drive past and look at themess.”

Fellow resident Rodney Powers says hewalkshis dogs on theopen spaceand ishor-rified by what he comes across.

“Used condemns, empty beer bottles andtyre marks are only some of the things I’veseen in the park. My dogs are so trauma-tised by the noise and I have complainedto police more than once this month.”V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

CRIME

Pensioner in hotwaterSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

A pensioner is under investiga-tion following claims he hadsold twoguns.Butpolice is in-

vestigating these claimsas themancould not produce evidence to thiseffect.

According to the police, the man,a 60-year-old Lentegeur resident,told them he sold his shotgun anda pistol in 2007.

He had done so through a policeofficer stationed at Manenberg Po-lice Station. This officer has sincepassed away.

The pensioner, who prefers to re-main anonymous, said: “I trustedthe officer because he helped mesell two guns before this.”

He admitted there was no paper-work to prove the sale of the weap-ons.

Meanwhile, Lentegeur policefound that both guns are still li-cenced to the pensioner.

Lentegeur Police Station com-mander Elizabeth Hermanuswarns that, should the guns betraced and found to have been usedin criminal activity, the legal own-er will be held accountable.

As part of a new firearm operationthroughout the cluster, Lentegeur police of-ficers cross-referenced ammunition saleswith their legal firearm owners.

It was found that 500 rounds of ammuni-tion were bought against these licences,which are still on the pensioner’s name.

Cluster commander Major-General Abra-ham Goss says when officers checked thegun register, they found 100 rounds toomany were bought against one of the guns.

“A gun owner is only allowed 200 roundsper gun at any given time. We called theman in for an interview,” he says.

But the pensioner denies being in posses-sion of the guns, explaining he had sold theweapons about seven years ago.

The pensioner says when the new fire-arm act came into effect in 2006 he askeda close friend what he should do with hisguns.

“I grew tired of them and did not wantthem anymore. I asked my friend – a policeofficer at Manenberg Police Station – whatI should do. He told me he could sell theguns for me.”

The man claims he did not buy the ammu-nition.

Police records shown to People’s Post in-dicate the contrary.

Goss says a register is to be kept at everygun shop and only licensed owners are al-lowed to buy ammunition.

“When buying ammunition the ownerpresents their licence before they are al-lowed to buy it. The person’s licence and IDnumber is taken for registration and track-ing purposes,” he says.

But the pensioner claims the licence washanded in with the two guns.

The ammunition purchased in October isregistered on his licence.

And the pensioner could not produce arecord of the guns having been handed inand police are now concerned that with thelarge quantities of ammunition bought, theguns could have fallen into the wronghands.

The man admits there is no record of theguns.

“When I handed the guns over to the offic-er, he gave me R4 000 and asked me for mylicences. Until I was called into the stationI did not know the guns were not taken offmy name,” the man says.

Goss has now launched an investigationinto several gun shops. This comes afterthey took into consideration that the am-munition was bought against the man’s li-cence.

Police are also looking for the man’s45mm handgun and shotgun. “This is veryserious. Because there is no record of thesale, the man will be held accountable if theguns have been used to commit murders orother crimes,” Goss says.

Headds that it is theowner’s responsibili-ty to check that the firearms are not regis-tered on their names and the trust he hadin this officer was “not a good enough ex-cuse”.

Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-ant Ian Bennet confirms the officer workedat the station at the time indicated.

“The matter was not previously broughtto our attention. The officer did work inthat department at the time and the allega-tions are possible. An investigation into thematter has since been launched to deter-mine if this is true and the outcome will becommunicated,” he says.

If they are found the man will face charg-es as a result of his negligence.

Negligence in Mitchell’s Plain is not un-common, Goss says. “Recently a man lefthis firearm in his car at Town Centre. Thecar was then broken into and the man’s gunwas stolen. A few days later the suspect washigh on drugs and he [shot himself in thehead]. Because of this man’s negligence alife was taken and we are looking into tak-ing further action against him,” he says.

The next step is investigating possiblesuppliers in the area.

“Licensed gun owners are buying ammu-nition and supplying criminals becausethere is no other way to obtain ammuni-tion. The number of casings found at crimescenes supports this theory.”V Share your views. Starting with the word “Post”,SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Furore over flats upgradesTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

Frustrated residents are demanding sitevisits to the recently upgraded flats inHanover Park to address unhappiness

about poor workmanship.Residents of St Lucia Court are unhappy

with the state of their homes which, theyclaim, are worse after the upgrade.Less than four months after moving back

into their homes faulty plumbing, dampwalls, bad flooring and broken appliancesare some of the problems residents are expe-riencing.They claim the City of Cape Town has

“failed to resolve the problems quickly”.However, City officials say they have al-

ready met with a number of residents andare assessing the complaints received.St Lucia residents moved back into their

homes in August after waiting for monthsto have the renovations to their council flatscompleted.The upgrades included painting, plumb-

ing overhauls, refitting of windows anddoors, rewiring electrical circuits andguttercleaning.Residents were moved to temporary vil-

lages during this time and claim “bad” elec-tricity connections have damaged many ap-pliances they cannot afford to replace.Community worker Gigi Richards says

the “poor have been dealt a low blow by theCity”.“Residents are unhappy with the poor

workmanship. They have met with numer-ous City officials to discuss the matter, butno results have materialised as promised inmeetings,” she says.Residents are being kept happy with emp-

ty promises, Richards insists.“People have worked hard for what they

have and it will be very difficult to replace.We need the City to replace all the damaged

goods and fix the problems in our flats. Be-fore the renovations I never had problemswithmy shower and now I can’t take a show-er without the entire bathroom being wet.Taps leak, floors are breaking and some peo-ple are having to use buckets for all the leaksin their homes. This is unacceptable. Wehavemore problemswith the upgrades thanbefore.”Resident Eloise Roberts says shemet with

City officials after her stove and kettlestopped working in the village.Shortly after returning to her flat, her

fridge and radio stopped working.“After amonth they came and the contrac-

tors told us they would not be replacing the

broken appliances. There are angry resi-dents in every court that has been upgraded.It isn’t fair,” she says.Mamkeli says the funds for the upgrades

are limited and all complaints will be inves-tigated.“We will investigate complaints and

where there is a problem we will fix it, if itis found to be a fault on our side.”Mamkeli explains if residents living in the

refurbishedunits experience problemswiththe plumbing, electricity or any of the gener-al upgrades, they are required to report itimmediately.“Many have logged complaints and we

have corrected the problem,” he explains.

But Roberts says residents expected tohave their problems sorted out weeks ago.“I was told it will take two weeks to have

it replaced. It has now been six weeks andI am still waiting.”Mamkeli attributes this to a lack of availa-

ble staff.“We are addressing individuals concerns

but at the same time there are twomore flatsbeing refurbished with more people com-plaining.“We are working to have all problems re-

solved as soon as possible but some delaysmay occur,” he explains.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

MANENBERG

Fighting crimetogetherTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

Thousands took to the streets of Manen-berg on Sunday demanding peace.Religious leaders along with more

than 2 000 residents marched from Manen-berg Police Station to Manenberg Avenue.The march was organised to strengthen

the unity among residents in their fightagainst crime.The protest followsmonths of shooting and

gang violence in the area.The chain andwalk of peace started at 14:00

and ended at the Little Lilies field circle inSabie Road.Safe Manenberg Campaign project coordi-

nator Waheed Sookool says the march wasvery important as no mass event was held inManenberg during the past few months as aresult of the continuous shootings.“It has been too dangerous for us to take

to the street even though we are fed-up. Lastweek three gangs declared a truce with no

further incidents, which was perfect timingfor the march. Those gangs supported theprayer and peace walk, but were not be partof the formal proceedings,” he said.“It is important for gangs to see that the

community is tired.Wedon’twant to lose anymore loved ones. Enough is enough.”Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-

ant Ian Bennett says no incidents were re-ported during the march and police supportthe community’s attempt to have their voiceheard.“We hope this will not be the first and last

march. It is important for residents to get to-gether and show criminals that they do notrule the streets,” he says.“We are glad that residents are taking a

public stand against crime but we also needthe community to work with police and nothide illegal firearms and ammunition. Weneed people to come forward and report allinformation to police.”V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Time for vagrants to moveTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

Vagrants who do not want to leave theirspot under theKromboombridgehavenowstarted attacking Crawford communitymembers and vandalising the bridge inprotest.

A Crawford community member AbdulSamuels was hit on the head with a bottleby angry vagrants who refused to movefrom where they are illegally squatting.

Samuels says he is not the first commu-nity member that has been attacked by va-grants over the last few weeks and saystheir aggression is just increasing.

“This is the final straw. We are tired offighting with the vagrants to move. Weneed council to intervene urgently. It is im-portant to have the space cleared becausepeople using it to walk through from theother side are being robbed andmugged bydrug addicts pretending to be vagrants. Itis difficult for us to monitor who belongsthere andwho doesn’t because there are al-ways new faces,” he says.

“That is why we have been trying to getpeople to move so that the space can beopen and clean. It will then be easier forus to patrol andmonitormovement and ac-tivity under the bridge.”

Illegal dumping, crime and public inde-cency are some of the activities residentsassociate the vagrants with.

There are currently 12 people sleepingunder the bridge.

Ward councillor Magadien Davids saysthe area has been flagged as a priority areafor Law Enforcement to patrol, but insiststhat vagrancy is not resolved overnight.

“There will always be vagrants. If theyget moved from one site, they set up campon another spot. I have offered shelter forthem, but most want don’t want to move,”he says.

“We are exploring different ideas on howto resolve the problem but due to bylawswe can’t just force them from the spot.”

Resident Alison Langenhoven says shehas been living in the area for years andfeels crime in the area is the highest it hasever been.

“There was always an odd incident or sobut never to the extent that it bothered resi-dents. Now you get a horrible smell thatblows over from the bridge. In summer itis worse because then it is hot and the foodand other dumped items get old and smell.You also have a smell of urine and faecesthat you get from vagrants who just squatanywhere touse the toilet. I havewitnessedit on more than one occasion and it is dis-gusting,” she insists.

Langenhoven says properties immedi-ately adjacent to the bridge are themost af-fected.

She believes it brings down their proper-ty value and has a direct influence on thecrime rate.

“Since the vagrants started sleeping un-der the bridge andmaking use of the dilapi-dated building opposite them, crime in thearea has spiked.”

Resident Terana McAnder says resi-dents have had enough.

“Everyday a business or house is beingbroken into. This used to be a quiet neigh-bourhood but now drugs and prostitutionis slowly filtering in from surround areas.”

A concerned Crawford resident AmberJacobs says although they have been inmeetings with the City of Cape Town re-garding a solution, the process is beinghandled too slowly.

This is a big concern.“We could do with some more patrols

from Law Enforcement but they do checkup regularly,” she says.

“This isn’t just one department’s prob-lem, we need to get health and social devel-opment on board as well to find suitable al-ternatives that would make the squatterswant to move. We need to find long-termsolutions that will improve lives and cir-cumstances for the squatters. That is theonlywaywe are going to fit this successful-ly. Otherwise it will be a recurring prob-lem.

“The problem is that you move themaway and a few hours later they are back.It is a cycle that continues because theyhave become comfortable because somepeople walking by gives them money orthey stay in the vacant house oppositethem.We need people to stop giving the va-grants handouts because that is what’skeeping them here.”

Lansdowne police spokesperson Ser-geant Nkululeko Mnyaka confirms thereare at least three drug merchants beingmonitored who operate around the bridge.

“Robberies andmuggings occur regular-ly and we have increased our patrolsaround the bridge to prevent these inci-dents from happening. The sector vehicleshave also assistedwith fights that have tak-en place among squatters. Drug-related ar-rests have also been made in the vicinity,”V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

Call for nil toleranceAmid the 16 Days of Activism against Gen-der Violence, a civic organisation is callingfor year-round action.More than 30 civil organisations have

partnered in protest, calling for a nationalstrategy to address gender-based violencesaying the rape, battery and assault of wom-en each year needs to be prioritised.In her speech to Parliament on Friday 21

November, national minister of Women andChildren Susan Shabangu announced theministry would conduct provincial dia-logues to better understand the causes andconsequences of poverty and inequality, todevelop a research agenda and to inform theNational Strategic Plan (NSP) on Gender-Based Violence.While civic groupswelcome this public re-

commitment to the “currently stalledand ill-defined” NSP process, it is simply notenough, the partnership says in a statement.Civil society groups are demanding an

NSP that is fully fundedand commits signifi-cant new resources; is developed through anopen, inclusive and consultative processand creates real accountability by revivingand reconstituting the moribund NationalGender-Based Violence Council.Mara Glennie, executive director of Tears

which is one of the participating organisa-tions in this week’s actions, explains:“NGOs are frequently being asked to carryout work in responding to gender-based vio-lence that is the responsibility of the State.The State has essentially outsourced manyessential statutory services to NGOs butwithout funding them to do so.”According to a recent study by KPMG,

gender-based violence costs South Africa uptoR42bnayear – roughly 1%of the country’sGDP.Gender-based violence is on the rise, says

Shaheema McLeod, director of the SaartjieBaartman Centre for Women and Children.“Gender-based violence continues to in-

crease in the country,” she says.She believes this is owing to an inefficient

judicial system, lack of awareness withinthe police force and ignorance about whatconstitutes abuse. “The bulk of cases go un-reported. Fear, shame, denial and furtherabuse from the perpetrator are some of thereasons for this. There is very little victimsupport and only 3% of offenders are found

guilty of the crime committed,” she says.“Campaigns such as the 16 Days of Activ-

ism are an excellent vehicle for creatingawareness around abuse,” she says.In the past few years, the Saartjie Baart-

man Centre has seen a 65% hike in thenumber of women and children seekinghelp.In South Africa a woman is raped every

fourminutes or killed every six hours byherintimate partner. One in five women areforced into sex by an intimate partner.More than 100 cases of child abuse are re-

ported weekly in SA and a child is sexuallyassaulted every three minutes.“There should be zero tolerance towards

violence, no matter the day of the year. Edu-cation starts with our children. All too oftenvictims of abuse become the abusers – thisis the cycle we have to break, only then willwe see campaigns such as the 16 Days initia-tive having a real impact,” McLeod says.

Dress up for a good causeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

It’s that time of the year when womenand girls kick off their boots, get out therazors, warm up the wax and find a newcolour to brighten up their toe nails.Yes, summer is here and soon we will

see women across Cape Town show offthe legs they have been hiding all winterby wearing their favourite dresses.Some will go for short and tight, while

others will opt for the skater dresseswhich complement most body types.Still others will go for a fuller lengthmaxi-style dresses.Whatever your preference, a dress is

the one clothing item that helps womencelebrate their femininity.This year a local NPO is calling on

Cape Town women to wear dresses fora good cause.Milk Matters, situated at Mowbray

Maternity Hospital, has launched theirDresses for Lives campaign where wom-en get their friends, family and col-leagues to pledge donations for each daythey wear a dress.

HistoryAccording to their website, Milk Mat-

ters was formed in 2003 by a group of lac-tation consultants and two mothers.The group was inspired by the Ithem-

ba Lethu Breastmilk Bank in Durbanand identified a similar need in CapeTown to provide breastmilk to infantswhohad been abandoned or orphaned asa result of their mothers suffering fromHIV or Aids.They have three in-house milk banks

at various hospitals.

CampaignCoordinator Jenny Wright explains

the idea originated fromone of their sup-porters who decided she wanted to raiseawareness and funds and asked friendsand family to sponsor her for each dayshe wore a dress in December.

“She raised sufficient funding to ena-ble us to go ahead with redeveloping ourwebsite, a project that is nearing comple-tion,” Wright says.This year she approached the organi-

sation and challenged staff to join her.After gaining support, the team then

opted to invite breastmilk donors andother supporters to participate by eitherwearing dresses too and getting spon-sors or by sponsoring a woman of theMilk Matters team.

NameWright says the team thought long and

hard about a name to describe the cam-paign.“We wanted the name to capture what

we are doing. We are wearing dresses sothat ultimately more premature babieswho weigh less than 1.5kg can have ac-cess to donor breastmilk, which can un-doubtedly be life-saving for them.”By wearing dresses the organisation

hopes to raise funds for the breastmilkbank, as well as awareness to get moremothers to donate milk.Wright says just 50ml of breastmilk

can feed a baby of less then 1.5kg for 24hours and it can save their life in thosefirst critical few weeks if their ownmother is unable to provide the breast-milk they need.

Signing upWright says womenwanting to partic-

ipate are required to sign upwith the or-ganisation and gather support fromtheir friends. For each day they wear adress for the month of December, theirfriends agree to make a donation to theorganisation.The campaign also appeals to men to

assist who can help fund a staff member,friend or relative participating.Wright explains once the final total is

raised they will assess what themost ur-gent needs are andwhere themoney canbe used to make the biggest impact.V Email [email protected].

PEOPLE'S POST | LANSDOWNETuesday, 2 December 2014 SPORT 11

Rashied’s a click above the restPeople’s Post freelance sports photogra-pher Rashied Isaacs continues to rake inthe awards thanks to his breathtaking ac-tion snaps on sport fields.Isaacs was named Photographer of the

Year at the annual Western ProvinceSports Council Awards which were heldat the Lord Charles Hotel in SomersetWest on Friday evening.The glittering event, which honoured

sportspeople from across the region, washosted by the provincial Department ofCultural Affairs and Sport.The Athlone resident, who has been

freelancing for People’s Post for sevenyears, was named Media Person of theYear at the event last year.

He will now advance to the provincialround of the competition, which is set tobe held next March next. “This award isa testament to Rashied’s dedication toplace community sport at the forefront ofsports reporting. His ability to capturethe essence of a match through a cameralens without any formal training, makeshim one of the best sports photographersin the Cape,” says People’s Post produc-tion editor Tasmin Cupido.“Rashied simply understands and feels

the pulse of community sport. People’sPost is proud of Rashied’s sterlingachievements, which he wholeheartedlydeserves, and thanks him for his unerr-ing commitment to the publication.”

HAPPY SNAPS: People’s Post freelance photographer Rashied Isaacs (centre) was named theWestern Province Sports Council’s Photographer of the Year. With him is KFM sports anchorJeremy Harris (left) and council chairperson JP Naude. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

RAPID ACTION: Athlone resident and Falcons Softball Club pitcher Nicky Jones could not hold offthe onslaught of Tanta Sport Softball Club in a Super League match at Turfhall Sports Complexon Saturday. Falcons suffered their second consecutive loss as they went down 23.

In search of the doubleJOSEPH PILLAY

There’s no stopping a rampant Gl-enthorn-Athlone side who are wellon their way to perhaps clinching

their third consecutive league andknockout cup double.After beating archrivals Westridge

Yankees 6-0 in their quarterfinal SuperLeague knockout encounter at TurfhallStadium on Sunday, they proved thatthey will be difficult to stop.CoachWayneMay’sGlenthorn are still

sporting an unbeaten run to date andwere in full flight eliminating Yankeesfrom the silverware accolades for the sec-ond time in recent weeks.Glenthorn recorded a 4-1 win in a

league assignment.Nonetheless, Glenthorn pitcher Lau-

ren Mulder held her nerve and pitched asteady game with a well marshalled fieldthat ably assisted her in registering ashut-out victory to her name, consider-ing that Yankees loaded the bases twicein the third and sixth frame but on bothoccasions their runners were left strand-ed due to poor batting.Mulder in her 6 inning contest claimed

one scalp - that of Candice Bull - and al-lowed one base-on-ball while she gave upeight scattered hits of which Aimee-LeeCampbell (3-3) and Jacky Adonis (1-2)faired best for Yankees with the bat.Another aspect of the Yankees defeat

which their coaching staff of Natasha deKlerk and Janine (JJ) Johnson will haveto address is that even though their side

occupied the bases quite regularly andthat eight were left stranded – a topic upfor discussion is that runs dried up be-cause none of the lower order batters –which included Tammy Golding, Rox-anne Ohlsson, Megan Cable, Charne Er-asmus, Sharnel Whiteboy and CarlaWichman – could make an impact.Glenthorn smacked nine hits off Yan-

keeswithCarlaSwanepoel, CarlyMulderand Courtney Stevens each clobbering athree bagger off lead-off pitcher CarlkyDavids.Davids occupied the mound for three

innings, faced 15 batters, allowed sevenhits and gave up one walk while reliefpitcher, Megan Cable, who was perhapsbrought on too late and should have start-ed did duty for the next two batting turnsand did not live up to the capable highstandard she normally sets in a game.Cable walked three batters, did not

fanned any of the ten batters she facedand allowed two hits with Carly Mulderbatting 2-3, Nick Fortune and CarlaSwanepoel each 1-2 performing well withthe bat for Glenthorn.Defending champions Glenthorn will

face VOB in the semifinals scheduled for1 Februarynext year afterVOBhad earli-er in the day defeated Kenfac Phillies 4-1.Cathy Buckley who pitched Falcons to

a shut-out 10-0 victory over Tanta Sporttook revenge on the latter for the shockleague defeat (3-2) the previous day.Falconswill square-up to StMartin’s in

the other semi-final with the cup finalspencilled in for March 15.

Ready to rumbleAWA’s ultimate fight night on Thursday11 December features a 23-man Coca-ColaRoyal Rumble battle where the last manstanding will exit the ring with the mostcoveted belt.The current title holder is Miss Gor-

geous who vows to keep the belt for a sec-ond year running, even though he’ll bethe first man entering the ring and willhave to battle through the full comple-ment of 22 remaining wrestlers.If he manages to do that, he’ll be the

first man in AWA history to accomplisha back-to-back victory.Johnny Palazzio comes back all guns

blazing for thismatch to defend his cruis-erweight title that he was able to retainafter a battle with Mr Money threemonths ago. Thiswas the fightwhere Pal-

Milano regain winning formSHIFAAN RYKLIEF

Milano United got back to winningways with a convincing 3-1 win overBlack Leopards at Philippi Stadium

on Friday evening.It took Milano just three minutes to open

up the scoring against Black Leopards whenDeniro Stanley tapped the ball into the backof the net after Taariq Fielies did well to sethim up.

Minutes later, Brandon Theron thoughthe was on his way to double that lead whenChad Robertson played him a stunning longball just behind the Leopards backline, butthe ball fell inches away from Theron whichprovided goalkeeper Tsatsi Theletsane achance to come out and collect.

In the 20th minute, Fielies made a phe-nomenal run down the right side to surpasshis marker, before he played the ball into thedanger area which captain Nazier Jacobspicked up. Although Jacobs’ follow up shotwas eventually blocked by the Leopards de-fence.

Once both teams settled in, the match be-came a back and forth tussle in the middleof the park. The Kinnes opted to sit deep inorder to soak up the Leopards’ pressure asthey played the ball around beautifully withan attractive passing rhythm. Milano keptthings compact and restricted their visitorsin the final third.

Lidoda Duvha then brought on midfielderMatlakala Maboke to help contribute insearch of the equaliser.

Jabulani Ndebele came close to breakingthrough with his clever run straight downthe middle, but the experienced campaignerNasief Morris reacted swiftly to deny himwith a last minute sliding challenge.

The visitors started to play freely swaying

from left to right and looked more threaten-ing as they moved into the last third of thepitch. However, it took them 36 minutes ofplay to get their first shot at goal which waseventually wasted by Sanele Mkhize fromclose range. A minute later Leopards’ per-sistence finally paid off when substituteMatlakala tapped a loose ball in following acorner set-piece to level matters.

The Black and Yellow responded almostimmediately to regain the lead. Ganief Stel-lenboom had made the initial run down theleft side before he played the ball into the 18-yard area which Devon Saal picked up andmade no mistake when he tucked the ball in-to the far corner, giving Theletsane nochance.

The visitors should have levelled mattersat the restart when Matlakala had time andspace on the edge of the 18-yard area, but hefailed to hit the target.

A quarter into the second period, coachIan Palmer introduced the fresh legs of Les-vin Stoffels into the attack. The speed andclever off-the-ball running of Stoffels imme-diately impacted the Leopards defence asthey were found dislodged at times.

In the 67th minute Lidoda Duvha conced-ed a penalty when Sphamandla Sithole han-dled Theron’s cross in the 18-yard area.Former Santos and Panathinaikos defenderNasief Morris stepped up and calmly slottedhome to give his side a 3-1 lead, and at thesame time scored his fourth goal of the sea-son.

In the final stages of the game, holdingmidfielder Edward Williams made his wayonto the pitch in aid of retaining the lead,as well as winger Henry Tau. Milano thenwent on to hand Black Leopards their thirdstraight defeat in Cape Town in the space ofone week. – www.capetownfootball.co.za
