Cyclists hit the brakesTIYESE JERANJI

The demarcated bicycle lanes on bothsides of Albert Road are not even com-pleted yet, but cyclists already doubt if
they will be of any use.The new cycle lane connects the existing
Liesbeek Parkway cycle route in Observato-ry with the Cape Town central business dis-trict along Malta and Albert roads, passingthrough Salt River and Woodstock.Some cyclists who are trying out the bicy-
cle lanes which are supposed to be complet-ed in the coming weeks say they are a greatrisk and put their lives in danger becausemotorists don’t respect the lanes – theydriveon them. They also complain that motoristspark on the lanes, making it impossible forthem to cycle there.A cyclist who spoke on condition of ano-
nymity says it’s a waste of money and theyare putting their lives in danger if they haveto use those lanes.“The City is just wasting a lot of money
on something that will not work. We justcan’t compete with motorists. Motoristsoverspeed on those lanes and some of themjust park their cars there. Motorists justdon’t respect the cycle lanes and there isnothing thatwe can do. You can’t cycle prop-erly either because there is a taxi or a carin front of you or at the back, forcing youto go faster. For me to be safe, I will go backto cycling on the pavement. At least there Iknow I’m safe and I don’t have taxi drivershooting at me to be faster,” he says.Earl Thompson, another cyclist, says the
City is trying but itmust add sternmeasuresto ensure that motorists are kept off thoselanes.“Seriously, we don’t feel safe. Motorists
are very inconsiderate. Theyhoot at you likeyou’re on their lane when actually it’s theother way round. Cycling there is just put-ting our lives in danger because that stretchwith the bicycle lanes gets so busy at timesandmotorists endupusing thebicycle lanes.This puts us at a disadvantage and we arenot safe at all. If we have to cycle there prop-erly the City must make sure that motoristsfound on those lanes pay dearly for it,” saysThompson.The City of Cape Town’s transport depart-
ment admits that it has received complaints
about motorists driving or parking on thedemarcated lanes.Brett Herron, mayoral committee mem-
ber for transport, says there is no simple so-lution to the demands for the availability ofboth a cycle lane and parking.“The City has received complaints about
parking in the cycle lane as well as the re-moval of on-street parking. The cycle lanesare demarcated and reserved for exclusiveuse by cyclists; motorists who are parkingin the cycle lanes can be fined by the City’straffic service. I want to appeal to our road
users to please obey the traffic signs andrules of the road as those who are parkingand driving in the cycle lanes are posing aserious threat to cyclists,” he says.Herron adds that the City does city-wide
weekly counts and site visits which indicatetheusage of the facility and capture anymat-ters that need attention like illegal parking,maintenance amongst other things.“Furthermore, the creation of cycle lanes,
suchas thosealongAlbertRoad, is inaccord-ance with the City of Cape Town’s non-mo-torised transport policy, aimed at luring
people away fromprivate vehicleuse anden-couraging them to rather walk or cyclewhere possible.World-class cities across theglobemake use of cycle lanes to enhance andpromote cycling to residents and visitorsalike. This is the future and motoristsshould understand that cyclists are also en-titled to utilise the roads across the city,”says Herron.The City encourages cyclists to report ille-
gal driving or parking to the transport infor-mation centre on 0800 65 64 63 instead of con-fronting motorists.

Thief no matchfor patrollersTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Cable theft is a nationwide problem.A lot of people are affected by it and not
many of the perpetrators pay for what theydo.
This is why residents of Kensington can’tstop singing the praises of the Kensingtonstreet committee members who caught onecable thief on Saturday morning.
While they were on patrol in 17th Streetaround 01:30 the electricity suddenlywent offand the street and houses were thrown indarkness. In their quest to find out what hap-pened theywere told by council workers thatcables had been stolen in that area. Thosewho were on patrol launched a manhunt tolook for the suspect.
On the lookoutA resident told them he saw two men in
their early thirties jump from a tree soon aft-er the electricity went off. The patrollerssearched for them close by. One suspect wasnomatch for thepatrollers andhewas caughtat the corner of Acre Road and 6th Avenue.Theother suspect escapedand is still at large.
Mogamat Nordien, chairperson of the Ken-sington street committee, says the suspectdidn’t stand a chance.
“When we were told that it just happenedwe knew that the suspects were still in thearea. That’s when we dispatched a lot of peo-ple to be on the lookout. The man was cor-nered towards the station and he couldn’t es-cape. He had the cables, bag and gloves on
him. I’m so glad that we were there at theright time so that the perpetrator wascaught,” he says.
AchievementNordien says cable theft affects people in
many different ways and it has been goingon for sometime now – that’s why they arehappy that someone was caught.
“We feel so great. A lot of people are affect-ed and they struggle because of cable theft.Wewere right there on time.Houses are darkand mostly the elderly people struggle in thedark. We are glad that after so many yearsof this problem someone will get to pay formaking people struggle. It’s a great achieve-ment for us,” he says.
Unfortunately, the cables were already cutand residents of 17th Street were affected butthey are glad at least one of the thieves hasbeen caught.
A resident, Nadine Jacobs, says scrapyardowners must stop buying stolen cables.“These thieves know that there is a marketout there for them; that’swhy theykeep steal-ing. If only people could work together andscrapyard owners, especially, stopped buy-ing these cables we would be a step closer infighting cable theft. It affects a lot of peopleand causes delays and inconveniences,” shesays.
Police spokesperson David Stemmet con-firms the incident. “A man was caught andhe is facing charges of being in possession ofstolen goods. The investigation is still contin-uing and he appeared in court on Monday(yesterday),” he says.

INFORMAL TRADERS
Traders shown the ropesTIYESE JERANJI
#@jeranji
Informal traders in Maitland, Kensington,Factreton and the surrounding areas braved
wet weather to attend an informative session.The aim of the session at the Maitland town
hall on Wednesday last week was to give trad-ers information about how to go about theirday-to-day trading and make sure they do notbreak any laws. They were also urged to cleantheir trading areas and throw away rubbish.They were told not to put their stall on pave-ments, municipal property or on any spot thatobstructs pedestrians andmakes it impossiblefor motorists to see.
The traders were also told about the tradingplan which is currently under discussion andspecifies where informal trading may takeplace in the area andmake clear what the con-ditions of trading permits andCity bylaws are.
The trading plan will also provides securityfor informal traders and regulate where night-timeand earlymorning trading can take place.
The trading plan for the area is expected tobe finalised byNovember. By then all the trad-ers will be issued with permits.
Garreth Bloor, mayoral committee memberfor tourism, events and economic develop-ment, says: “The main beneficiaries of the in-formal trading plan are the informal tradersthemselves who will have security of tenureand all the users of the area will know whereinformal traders can and cannot trade.
“Through the informal trading plan permitsare issued to the informal traders.”
At the moment informal traders are beinggiven concession letters to operate.
Ward 56 councillor Lisa Mcbride says thisis a step forward that will see informal tradersand residents working together.
“Many residents don’t want the trading, butit’s a reality that we can’t run away from. De-veloping a trading plan is the way to deal withissues thatwill arise.Wewant to do it in a veryneat way and we don’t want to end up withslums, but we want people who will take re-sponsibility and show that they respect theirarea and respect where they trade by keepingit clean. Traders must obey the law and thosethat are found doing the opposite will havetheir concession letter revoked and that willmake it difficult for them to get trading per-mits,” says Mcbride.
Gene Lohrentz, manager of the MaitlandCompany Improvement District, told the trad-ers: “Respect your own trade, area and clients.We can’t run away from the fact that most dirtcomes from informal traders, but we are not
here to fight today but just to say trade respon-sibly. Don’t anchor your stall on poles, trees.Make sure that your boxes or any dirt is dis-posed correctly. There are somewho are doingit right but themajority still has to learn,” saysLohrentz.
Informal trader Isgaaq Abrahams says theinformative session was a good thing.
“It’s so empowering and it makes me feelhappy that the City is working hard to makesure that we are recognised as informal trad-ers. I’m so happy with what’s being proposedand the information was what most traderslacked, so this was very informative. It hasequipped us to be better traders but, above all,to make sure that we trade responsibly. To re-spect our work, our clients and to make surethat we maintain clean areas,” he says.
Informal traderNomonde Maka-bane says she ishappy with whatthe City is bringingto the table.

More residentsstep up to protectTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Residents from Kensington, Factreton,Maitland and Brooklyn attended train-
ing for neighbourhood watches at the Ken-sington civic centre last week.Ward councillor Lisa Mcbride says she
was blown away that they ended up with 69people, all eager to take back their streets.The training was conducted by Charl Vil-
joen of the City of Cape Town.Neighbourhood watch members attend-
ing were from the Kensington CommunitySafetyWatch,AcreRoadCommunitySafetyWatch, Factreton South street committee,Beaufort street committee, Brooklyn-Yster-plaat Neighbourhood Watch and MaitlandNeighbourhood Watch.Mcbride says in the last 10 months there
has been an increase in the number of resi-dents that are taking charge by creatingstreet committees, neighbourhood watchesand park committees.“I am a strong believer in building part-
nerships between government and civil so-
ciety, and that as governmentweare contin-ually looking for ways to improve commu-nities and with things like this training wecan support such civil society movements.This will make our streets safer,” she says.“Our challenge is to get the Kensington
police and metro police to work togetherwhen it comes to gun violence, especially inthe Factreton area. I am going to have tomonitor and review to what extent thesetwo structures can provide back-up supportto the neighbourhood watches.“As councillor I amsoproud of those com-
mitted residents in our area, especiallythose in our high-crime area, for standingup to see what they can do to make a differ-ence. This is a challenge thatwe inKensing-ton and Factreton still need to achieve,”says Mcbride.The neighbourhood watches are in need
of raincoats, gloves, boots, reflective mate-rial, torches, snacks and umbrellas. Any in-dividuals or businesses whowant to donateto the neighbourhood watches, can contactMcbride on 083 216 9361 or [email protected].
You can’t ‘buy’ housingEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
The City of Cape Town has urged residentsnot to fall victim to housing scams whichhave been reported in some parts of the city.Benedicta van Minnen, mayoral commit-
teemember for human settlements, says thatvictims should report it to the police.“It has been confirmed that some residents
have fallen victim to these scams and haveindeed ‘bought’ land or housing units whichwere promised to them through these illegalsales,” says Van Minnen in a statement.The City confirms that scammers, who
claim to be from the human settlements di-rectorate, have been operating with unau-
thorised documents which contain the City’sofficial logo. It is alleged that once the prom-isedhousingunits orpieces of landhavebeen“sold”, the culprits disappear with the mon-ey.“Residentsmust note that, should a person
qualify for a subsidy, they must not pay anymoney to anyone to be placed on the housingdatabase or to receive a house.”
Update databaseVan Minnen urges applicants to contact
their local housing office to update their de-tails on the housing database so that they canbe contacted easily. “I also ask thosewho arenot registered to find out whether they quali-fy for a subsidised housing opportunity.”.

Shop robbery leavesfamily traumatisedTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
A shop owner and his family from Ken-sington are still shaking after a robbery
at gun point on Monday last week.Abdikadir Mohamed-Jimaale, owner of
Faith Tuck Shop, says someone came intohis shop at about 20:10, pretending to be acustomer. In the shop was his brother, hischild and his heavily pregnant wife. Mo-hamed-Jimaale says he told his brother toclose the door but the suspect pointed a gunat him. In the blink of an eye three othermen came in.They ordered the family to the back of the
shop. “They pointed a gun at me, demand-ing the keys of the shop. When I didn’t givethem they hit me with a gun in the face.Thereafter some of them came to the frontshop,” he says.The robbers took cash of about R8000 and
cigarettes to the value of R6000.Mohamed-Jimaale says this was not his
first run-in with a gun.“This is happening for the fourth timebut
I never get used to it. It’s so traumatisingand leaves my family in a very bad state.This is how I make a living so I can’t closeon their account, but on the other side Iwon’t put my life in danger. There are op-portunities everywhere and these peoplewon’t do anything to me,” he says.To make matters worse, one of the rob-
bers threatened him the next day.“He was loitering around my shop. I just
felt so insecure, I had to call the police. I’mglad that the police found him here at theshop and he was arrested,” he says.Being in South Africa for the past six
years after moving fromMogadishu, Soma-lia, he thought he would find peace of mind.
“I came here for better opportunities butwith these robberies it’s so sad. I don’t havethe peace of mind that I thought I wouldhave by coming here. Everyone is left infear. We can’t blame the country or anyonebecause there are good and bad people ev-erywhere,” says Mohamed-Jimaale.KenFac community leader Jimmy Xalipi
says he’s baffled by what happened.“It doesn’t make sense that these shops

Pupils get a pass for schoolTIYESE JERANJI

B-All Training Academy hosted a two-dayschool holiday programme last week inwhich 30 pupils from three schools partici-pated.Pupils from Cedar, Grassy Park and Port-
land high schoolswere trained in improvingmemory – being able to remember and proc-ess information important for their school-work. The pupils were also taught how toperform complicated operations and givenlanguage training.A pupil from Portlands High School in
Mitchell’s Plain, Ruwayda Rhode, says itwas a good and informative programme.“I have learnt how to outsmartmy calcula-
tor and how to study better than before. Thiswill not make me improve my grades at the
end of the year but will be a life lesson forall the tasks that I come across,” says Rhode.Lameez Fortune, a Grade 11 teacher at
Grassy Park High School, says it was some-thing the pupils really needed.“The pupils were blown away; motivated
by this interactive and unforgettable learn-ing experience,” he says.Bradley de Kock, founder of B-All, which
is based at Shawco in Kensington and hasbeen hosting this event annually since 2012,says it is a way of giving back to the commu-nity as well as a way to make learning fun.“Most schools in the underprivileged com-
munities never get such an opportunity. Sothis is our way to make them have hope andequip them with skills that they can use intheir day-to-day lives andgoingaround theirtasks at schoolmuch easier withmore confi-dence,” he says.
Thirty pupils from three Cape Town high schools attended a two-day B-All holiday programme.They say it was very informative to learn, among other things, how to improve memory.

Warm soup helpsthe pills go downTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
No one should take theirmedication on anempty stomach.This belief made the Wes-Kaapse Kleurin-
gontwikkelingsorganisasie (WKKOO) bravethe cold to help elderly and disabled patientswho collect their chronicmedication at Ken-sington day hospital on Thursday last week.Their aim was to give soup and bread to
the hospital visitors, but they also stretchedout their hand to the people on the streetwho wanted something to eat.Prompted by the poverty and unemploy-
ment in their communities the organisationsays it decided to do something to show theresidents that they care about them.Ricardo van Niekerk, chairperson for the
WKKOO, says he is driven by his love ofcommunities that strive for the future.“I love caring for people and I just thought
‘What must we do as an organisation to helpthese old people?’ Most of them take theirmedications without eating and that is notgood. That’s why we decided to give themsoup and bread. Itmakes us feel somuch bet-ter as an organisation knowing that we didour bit,” he says.Anthea Snell, one of the people who got a
cup of soup and bread, says it was much ap-preciated. “It’s not easy for people to get foodin the morning and most of the people don’teat. We really appreciate what the organisa-tion is doing to help those that really needtheir help,” she says.Rene Vermeulen says it came just at the
right time. “I didn’t eat in the morning andI was just wondering where I will get food.Wearehappy that there are peoplewho care.It makes us face the day with courage be-cause there are people who are willing tohelp when they have the means,” she says.VanNiekerk says hiswish is to help hospi-
tals in his area everyweek but that is impos-sible as they don’t have the funds.“It’s so much pain to wake up seeing pov-
erty and hunger written on the faces of ourpeople. We are glad that as an organisationwe can help. However, we need those thatcan donate bread or soup to help us so thatwe can reach a lot of people. Our aim is togo to hospitals a lot because people who takemedication need food so that they can recov-er properly,” he says.Those who want to help with food dona-
tions to the WKKOO can contact Van Niek-erk on 060 325 8698.

Planned growth in the traffic departmentis set to reduce offences and accidents.The City of Cape Town’s traffic service is
expecting to swell its ranks by over 120 newofficers in the next year.Over 50 traffic officer positions and four
supervisor positions have been approved,says JP Smith, mayoral committeememberfor safety and security. And there are evenmore in the pipeline.The City has made provision for the staff
appointments in the new budget.A total of 60 traffic officer posts still need
to be approved by the council based on aplanned business model and an additional20 traffic officers are expected to be recruit-ed to enhance the newly established trans-port enforcement unit.“The City of Cape Town’s traffic service
is under-staffed. Road safety has becomeone of the most important focus areas dueto the number of deaths and the huge finan-cial cost of traffic accidents,” he says.They are set to introduce a dedicated 24-
hour service, Smith explains.“The newmemberswill add to the visibil-
ity of the service and hopefully help to re-duce the number of offences and accidentson the roads. An additional benefit is the in-direct policing of other crimes,” he says.But the new traffic officers won’t be the
only addition to the service.A new system, which will use dashboard
cameras, is set to be rolled out by the endof next year, Smith says.“The cameraswould enhance the enforce-
ment of offences by recording the activitiesof the staff. This is something that is usedin other countries and has evidential valuein the courts to help with the justice pro-cess,” he says.

One of South Africa’s iconic couples, Archibishop Des-mond Tutu and his wife Leah, last week celebrated their60th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows.In a society plagued by high divorce rates, making it
to 60 years of wedded bliss is nomean feat, which is exact-lywhy it is so important to have such positive rolemodelswhen it comes to marriage.In fact, according to statistics released by StatsSA in
December, nearly half of marriages that end in divorcelast less than 10 years.In our consumer-driven culture, fuelled by instant grat-
ification, “fixing things” is not an idea that comes natu-rally to many people. Coupled with a high dose of over-the-top romance in themedia,manyyoung couples expectmarriage to be like something out of a Nicholas Sparksnovel.Most couples who have been married for a long time
will tell you that their secret is compromise and patience.The reality is that good relationships don’t just happen,theydevelop over time. There’s a fair amount ofwork thatgoes into keeping romance alive.Another “marriage secret” you’ll oftenhear is:A couple
that laughs together stays together. It’s the laughter thathelps keep a couple connected and “in tune” despite thestresses of daily life.We owe it to future generations towork on our relation-
ships. Instead of giving up show them that true romanceis about companionship and not just whirlwind romanceand to teach them the value of happiness that comes fromfamily stability.When previously asked her secret to staying in love for
so many years, Leah Tutu reportedly said: “There is nomagic to making marriage work. A marriage is nevermade in heaven‚ you make it what it is. If you love a per-son‚ it’s simply not enough. Youmust meet halfway‚ giveand take‚ for the rest of your lives”.
Don’t allow crime to ruleIn a recent media report the InteriorMinister of Italy denounced the homagethat arose in Oppido Mamertina, aCalabrian town and mafia stronghold. Aparade held in the town included theclergy, the mayor and high profilefamilies carrying a statue of the Madon-na. The walk took a detour to honour alocal mafia don. This event arose afterPope Francis excommunicated membersof the mafia. The incident validates thedeep connections criminals have withstate structures and the church in Italy.Criminality around the courts of Cape
Town is a warning that should becrushed instantly. Criminals that ap-peared in court, now have followers thatescort them. The fans include preachers;they display placards, stating the inno-cents of the criminal.It is a sad truth that we live in a sick
society. The fact that children andinnocent people are killed by savagesregularly near schools and playgroundsis an outrage. That murder can occur
near a magistrates’ court confirms thedeep contempt that criminals have forlaw and order.We cannot have a situation comparable
to Italy where the political and religiousleaders of a town and perhaps a nationare scared of criminals. Those who haveno respect for the sanctity of the courtsof law and the purity of public spacesmust be removed permanently fromsociety.Our society should not spend limited
tax monies on the rehabilitation orwell-being of criminals. We do not wantinsight into their criminality, we wantthem gone. We need tax and ratepayersmoney to build houses and schools andparks.In the words of the wise, those in
governance, better listen. If crime is notmanaged, soon, peaceful people willresort to required action to protectthemselves and their families.

Parents should become cyber savvyWith the school holidays in full swing, Iappeal to parents to familiarise them-selves with the various social medianetworks that their children use, to helpkeep them safe from online predators.Each social media platform has unique
risks and many children don’t realise thedangers.They underestimate how easily accessi-
ble their information is and forget thatothers are watching their online activity.Talk to your children about the dangersof social media.Social media can be a wonderful tool,
but we need to keep a close eye on itsusage in order to keep our children safe.

Act now to preventfuture ‘shedding’We have seen and we are still experienc-ing the utter chaotic demoralising effectload shedding by Eskom has had on ourpersonal and economic lives.All this is due to the fact that foresight
in maintenance and proper managementskills were and are not in place. Thisplague must teach us a lesson and wemust learn as a country that suchshortcomings must never happen again,because it affects the lives of us, thecitizen, in a negative way.We have to look at our water supply
now and ensure that the wells do not dryup. We have to put measures in placenow to ensure that we do not have watershedding. We have to look at our currentmaintenance capabilities and even go sofar as to think of investing in waterdesalination. Our politicians must placethis item on the agenda now for safe-guarding the present and supplyingfuture water resources to man and beast.The other aspect we must deal with nowis the supply and safeguarding of ourfood. No person or animal can survivewithout food so therefore we must putmeasures and plans in place now toensure a continuous, constant cheapsupply of food for now and for the future.The politicians and all role-players haveto amend current legislation in relationto food production in rural and cityareas. The monopoly on food productionby a few for profit has to end andmeasures and plans have to be imple-mented now so that food can always beafforded a place on the table. We canonly imagine what food shedding willlead to and here one has to just peepback at one of the reasons we hadFrench and Russian revolutions.South Africa, to prevent all manners of
future shedding, we as citizens now haveto be vocal and tangible in our efforts toget those we voted in to implementmeasures and to appoint the correctpersons in the various life-giving projectsor we will have such misery it will beunimaginable to describe or to experi-ence.

LEGAL DEDUCTIONS FROM SOCIAL GRANTS
The SASSA Payment Card
Which Deduction Is Legal?
How can SASSA assist social grant beneficiaries with illegal deductions?
Safety tips for all social grant beneficiaries:
one
0800 60 10 11
Western Cape Helpline @ (021) 469 0235 or 0800 60 10 11.
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), would like to provide communities with the
following information regarding social grant deductions:
The SASSA branded payment card, was introduced to allow social grant beneficiaries the convenience of
accessing their social grant anywhere and at any time. The SASSA payment card is a debit card and
allows for cash to be withdrawn from ATM's, purchases to be made from suppliers and legal deductions to
be made. The introduction of the SASSA payment card into the banking system unfortunately also
provided an opportunity for social grant beneficiaries to be exploited through unauthorized deductions.
Before the social grant is paid into the bank account of a beneficiary only deduction is allowed to be
made for a funeral policy, which may not exceed 10% of the total value of the social grant. This premium is
deducted by SASSA before the social grant is paid to the beneficiary and then paid over to the relevant
insurance company.
Once the social grant is paid into the bank account that is linked to the SASSA debit card, legal deductions
instituted by financial entities will take effect for purchases that were made ie: airtime, electricity, micro-
loans, credit instalments, policy premiums etc. Any disputes should be resolved directly between the social
grant beneficiary and the entity that instituted the deduction.
Social grant beneficiaries are requested to report any illegal deductions to the nearest SASSA
office/service point where they will be assisted to complete a claim form so that the matters can be
investigated. Alternatively beneficiaries can contact the SASSA call centre @ where
SASSA staff will record the relevant details and refer the matter for investigation. Where beneficiaries have
not authorized deductions or for their SASSA cards/account details to be used by others, the deducted
amounts will be paid back to them. This is usually done within a period of 3 working days. Should any
social grant beneficiary not receive the required assistance from a SASSA office or staff member this must
be reported to the office manager or the
• Do not to respond to SMS messages offering airtime, electricity and other services. By responding
to these messages, beneficiaries are actually taking on a "subscription" service and the amounts
will be deducted off the bank account through the EFT debit system every month.
• Do not use your SASSA payment card as security for loans and to purchase any financial services
products.
• Do not authorize deductions to be made against your card except for the one funeral policy
deduction that should not exceed 10% of the social grant value.X1Q9NXFW-QK070715

The South African nationaldarts championship is under-way in Johannesburg until its
conclusion on Friday.The first national champion-
ships were held in Cape Town in1993, which served as the platformfor Darts South Africa (DSA) to beformed through the unification ofall the darting districts and associ-ations in South Africa.
TheWesternCape is representedby four affiliated districts whichform the federation: Cape Town,West Coast, Cape Winelands andEden.
Cape Town Darts is made up ofnine associations, including two-time defending inter-districtchampion Peninsula Darts Associ-ation (PDA).
The other associations are: Ath-lone, Mitchell’s Plain, NorthernSuburbs, Ocean View, South Pen-insula, Southern Suburbs, Sti-
kland and the Western ProvinceDarts Association.
The DSA tournament formatconsists of an inter-regional andinter-district four-a-side competi-tion in which players compete inboth doubles and singles play. Theinter-district competition has sev-en divisions.
Peninsula will be leading thecharge of the Cape Town teams inthe inter-district competition,where they will be chasing an un-precedented third title in a row.
They are unbeaten for the pasttwo years, having not lost a matchat thenational championship since2013.
TheWesternCapewomen’s teamtook national honours in the inter-regional competition last year,while the men’s team finished asthe runners-up in their division.
Peter Bowers, manager of thePDA men’s team, is confident thatthe team is ready to defend its na-tional title. Frank Avenant, LesleyBeukes, Jason Erasmus, Elroy
Dirks, Jason Hendricks, FranklynMiller, Sean Shaw andAshwin Ad-ams will be representing PDA atthis year’s tournament.
Avenant will also compete in theInternational World Darts tourna-ment inTurkey inOctober and rep-resent South Africa there.
Warren Hansen, Cape TownDarts’s transformation official andPDA’s vice-chairperson, echoesBowers’ optimism.
“The only challenger to thethrone is the Western ProvinceDarts Association.
“Western Province has four
players in the Western Cape DartsFederation team as well.”
Hansen also highlights top play-ers in the Cape Town district whocouldmakean impact in this year’sinter-district tournament: “Play-ers who are performing very welland are on top of their game in theregion are Wesley Daries andMar-thinus Grobelaar.
“These two gentlemen were thetwo top performers at the WesternCape Darts Federation trials. Bothplayers are from Cape Town Dartsandwill be representing theWPDAin the inter-district competition.
“The women who are perform-ing very well are Yolanda van Roo-yen from Cape Town Darts, whowill also be representing SouthernSuburbs Darts Association at thenational darts tournament, andMaxi Keet of the Cape Winelandsregion in Paarl,” he says.
Van Rooyen, along with youthplayer Tayla Carolissen, will bejoining Avenant in Turkey as theCape Town locals fly the flag forSouth Africa.
The next Darts South Africacompetition will be hosted inBloemfontein next year.
