OBSERVATORY

Notorious drug den closedTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

A notorious drug den in Observatory,Mezani Lounge, has been closed fol-lowing a temporary suspension of the

owner’s liquor trading licence last week.The suspension of the Lounge’s licence fol-

lows several raids by Woodstock police atthe premises on the corner of Main and Bow-den roads. The liquor authority presentedits information gathered about the club tothe liquor licensing tribunal, leading to thesuspension.

The Lounge has been rocked by scandals.Drugs were found on the premises in severalraids. Drug dealers have allegedly solddrugs at the premises in broad daylight.There are also allegations that a rape hashappened on the premises, which led to sev-eral community leaders writing letters say-ing they are sick and tired of Mezani andthey want it gone. If they are allowed to con-tinue trading, the community would be re-duced to nothing as drug dealers have a spotto sell their drugs, they say.

After compelling evidence was put for-ward to the Western Cape liquor authority

the tribunal filed for an urgent call to closethe doors of the Lounge.

Now Daniel Lossy, the owner of MezaniLounge, has to wait for his hearing on a datestill to be set. While this might be good newsfor the Observatory community, communi-ty leaders say a lot still needs to be done.They say this is not a victory for Observato-ry but a victory for the liquor authority,which is starting to show its work. Commu-nity members believe it’s not a good thingthat only eight liquor licences have be re-voked in a province where there is morethan 23 000 liquor outlets.

Councillor Paddy Chapple says months ofhard work has finally paid off.

“It’s a step in the right direction. The sus-pension means he can’t continue trading inalcohol and if he does so he will be breakingthe law. We are looking forward to the finalhearing,” he says.

Barrie Terblance, chairperson of the Com-munity Police Forum subforum, says thevictory for the Observatory community isnot so much against the club as it is over thedysfunction, inactiveness and imbalance ofthe Liquor Act and the liquor tribunal.V Continued on page 2.

The City of Cape Town is set to take overthe licensing of metered taxis “immi-

nently”, says Brett Herron, mayoral com-mittee member for transport.

Speaking at a business breakfast hostedby Big Issue magazine, Herron and AlonLits, Uber’s general manager for Sub-Saha-ran Africa, discussed the future of the indus-try and “e-hailing”, or using technology tohail a taxi.

Earlier in the year media reports indicat-ed that hundreds of Uber drivers were with-out operating permits, due to governmentred tape at a provincial level. Operating li-cences are governed by national legislation,Herron confirmed. Although the City hadsupported over 1000 licences in Cape Town,only 200 had been approved.

There has also been an appeal process,lodged by the Western Cape Metered TaxiAssociation and sparked by concerns thatUber taxi rates undercut the rest of the in-dustry. “There is nothing in the national leg-islation that matches the Uber operationmodel,” Herron said.

But he was hopeful this would be changedin an amendment bill, and include taxis op-erating via e-hailing. Handing over the proc-ess to the City would speed up the permittingprocess, Herron said.

“We’re running out of road space and weneed to find ways to remove or reduce cartrips,” Herron said.

Lits said permitting was out of Uber’shands, as the company was “a technologycompany and not a transport company”.

And although Uber did backgroundchecks on drivers as well as vehicle inspec-tions, they wouldn’t “differentiate betweendrivers with operating permits or driverswithout”.

However, Uber did have big plans for thefuture, he said. The company currently part-nered with 2000 drivers and planned to ex-pand this to 15 000 in two years.

They were also looking at implementing“Uberpool”, a system that would connectriders with others on a similar route and al-low them to share a taxi. This would not onlyreduce the cost of the fare, but would alsoreduce the number of vehicle trips.

“We want to change the future of mobilityand offer an alternative to car ownership,”Lits said.

Many gifted blind peo-ple, women hearTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Labels belong on cans, not on humans.”These were the words of Lizelle van Wyk,

CEO of the Cape Town Society for the Blind(CTSB) in Salt River, while addressing wom-en at a Women’s Month event at the Society’spremises.

Van Wyk said blind people shouldn’t be de-fined by their disability because they havemore to offer.

Though the month to celebrate women hascome and gone, CTSB has so much work todo. They are aiming to generate R20m overthe next two years to help visually impairedpeople to do different things, Van Wyk said.

Part of the CTSB’s vision is to empowerthe more than one million visually impairedpeople in South Africa to become recog-nised, tax-paying, high-performing achiev-ers and unlock their employment opportuni-ties. They believe that the money wouldopen doors for the many gifted visually im-paired people in the country.

Helen Zille, premier of the Western Cape,and Natalie Maimane, wife of national DAleader Mmusi Maimane, were amongst the260 guests who attended the event. JennyMorris, a celebrity chef and radio personali-ty was the master of ceremonies.

Van Wyk said: “The organisation is con-stantly confronted with social issues likestigmatisation and stereotypes that chal-lenge their efforts to seek employment op-portunities for blind people. Labels belongon cans, not on humans. We must be thechange agents that inspire transformation.CTSB will have to work harder and smarterin order to ensure sustainable income.”

Zille said: “Parents who display unusualcourage and fortitude in the face of setbacksand who rise above challenges to raise chil-dren with disabilities are indispensable tosociety.”

Zille said parents who rose above the enor-mous difficulties to overcome suffering werean important ingredient in building commu-nity.

Maimane applauded the CTSB’s work.“Organisations like this give blind people

their own voice and generate a platform forthe visually impaired to put their issues onthe table.

“All South Africans can be a Van Wyk orZille in their community by displaying aheart and a passion for something thatticked them off, and then turn that into acause. As soon as you lift up women, you liftup society because they are the backbone ofsociety,” she said.

Celebrity chef Jenny Morris, singer Aviva Pelham, provincial premier Helen Zille, Natalie Mai-mane, wife of national DA leader Mmusi Maimane, and Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of the Cape TownSociety for the Blind, were at a Women’s Month event held by the Society.

“[The closing of] Mezani is a victory forimproving the system, which is not work-ing properly. There are a lot of murders,assaults and domestic violence and onlyeight licences had been suspended. Thisshows something is desperately wrong.Leaders in the community had to writeletters to question why Mezani is still op-erating when evidence was brought for-ward of the damage it’s doing to the socie-ty.

“We were told it wasn’t a priority butwe kept pushing until something wasdone. We are glad that it has worked andthere is still more than can be done,” hesays.

“Observatory is a small place and hav-

ing about 60 liquor outlets is reallydrowning us. A lot has to be done; thecommunity can’t take it anymore.

“As much as the liquor authority isgood in handing out licences it must betwice as good in suspending them if thelicence holders are being problematic.However, they seem to be reluctant orvery slow when it comes to suspending li-cences.

Saving the community“As the community we are determined

to close those outlets down if they are de-stroying the community. The societycan’t take it anymore; we are really fall-ing apart as a community,” says Ter-

blanche.Zaza Kumalo from the liquor authority

confirms that Mezani Lounge’s liquor li-cence was temporarily suspended duringa hearing of the liquor licensing tribunal.

“The licence was suspended pendingthe outcome of an application by the li-censee to remove the licence to anotherpremise.

“The decision was based on an urgentapplication by the liquor authority totemporarily suspend the licence,” saysKumalo.

Since the Lounge’s closure there are un-confirmed rumours that the owner of thebuilding will be turning the place into stu-dent accommodation.

Rubble site amessy affairTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Residents close to the corner of Great-more and Regent streets in Woodstock

say they haven’t had peace of mind sinceconstruction trucks started offloading andpicking up tar rubble at a building site onthe street.This site, right next to Shiloh Education

and Training Academy, was used by stu-dents to play ball games, but now that it hasbeen covered with rubble and constructionsigns students can’t use it anymore.The residents say Civils 2000 trucks have

been picking up rubble from July last yearin the early hours of the morning, makingit impossible for them to enjoy their lasthours of sleep. The same thing happens inthe evening as the trucks come to pick upor drop off rubble.They say things aren’t better during the

day as some of the rubble that is droppedoff is grinded before another truck comes topick it up. The residents have questionedwhy something like that was allowed in aresidential area, but their complaints ap-parently fall on deaf ears.They were told it would end in December

last year, but that didn’t happen and theysay they can’t take it anymore.Whatmakes itworse is that the tar rubble

smells bad. There is toomuch dirt, they say,and they have also seen an increase in ratsas the rubble provides a hiding place for thevermin.John Blewett, a resident who stays close

to the site, says he has had enough.“The noise is unbelievable and they work

throughout the day, with big raving truckscoming in and out of the site. I have beentrying to follow up on when all this will endbut they keep saying it will all be over ina month. I have lost count how manymonths have come and gone. Due to thenoise we have to wake up very early andthat is not good at all,” says Blewett.Another resident, who refused to be

named, agrees that the noise is disturbing.“You can’t even put a child to sleep, be-

cause thenoise is just toomuch. It’s so ridic-ulous because we are ratepayers and whatdo we get out of it? Nothing, only dirt. No-one cares to listen to our complaints. Attimes, because of the hard vibrationscaused by the trucks, you can hear the win-dows shake. We can’t live like this; some-thing must be done urgently,” she says.AndreFisser, contractmanager forCivils

2000, says they have heard the complaintsand are hoping to be done by end of thismonth. He says the building site has beenused for longer than expected “due to someunforeseen circumstances”.“As we go towards the end of the month,

therewon’t be a lot of noise asmost of it willjust be the cleaning up,” he says.Brett Herron, mayoral committee mem-

ber for transport, confirms the site is beingused by Civils 2000 as part of its work forthe City on a number of road-related main-tenance projects across the city.“Civils 2000 has a lease agreement with

the owners for using the land. It was origi-nally used for the non-motorised transportproject in Salt River and Woodstock thatwas concluded in July. Since then, Civils2000 has used the area as a storage facilityfor logistical reasons,” he says.Herron says Civils 2000 is using the site

currently for work in the central businessdistrict, SaltRiver and theV&AWaterfront.“The land is mainly used as a temporary

storage facility and stockpile area,” he says.Siyabulela Mamkeli, mayoral committee

member for health, says companies doingwork for the City tend to make their ownarrangements with the City departmentthat they are providing the service for.“Residents can contact their local environ-mental health office with their complaints.All complainants will be requested to pro-vide affidavits as required by the provincialnoise control regulations,” he says.V Residents can call the environmental health officeon 021 514 4125 to lodge complaints.

Schools nip‘Charlie’ gamein the budEARL HAUPT

@Earl Haupt

Schools across the city have been mobil-ised to nip the not-so-latest occult craze

in the bud while it is mushrooming acrossthe country.

The “Charlie Charlie” game has hadmany parents wondering what can be doneto prevent their children from being ex-posed to its nature, while others have con-tinued to view it as harmless fun conjuredup by the vibrant minds of the youth.

A host of local schools have reported in-stances where children have been found tobe playing the game, with some teachers go-ing on to say that they have brought an endto the activity before losing control of thesituation.

“We have nipped it in the bud,” says anunnamed source at one of the schools.

“We have had children come to us to saythat their fellow pupils have stopped play-ing the game after telling them about it be-fore we addressed them about the issue.”

Despite the dangers, or even non-dangers,which may exist, the fact that children havetaken to the game indicates that alternativeactivities need to be found to cultivate amore harmonious environment for chil-dren to interact in.

The game was originally played by Span-ish-speaking girls as a way to “enquire”which boy may like them, but the game hasre-incarnated itself this year in the form ofthe “Charlie Charlie challenge”.

The paper and pencil game was posted ina video on Twitter. The video, originally in-tended to be humorous, has since evolvedinto a more taboo activity with participantsof the game asking a “demon” named Char-lie to answer their questions instead.

The Western Cape education departmenthas warned that the public should be care-ful when dealing with incidents of the Char-lie Charlie type.

“Children should be encouraged to dis-cuss any ‘uncomfortable’ feelings about theincident with their teachers. Actual instan-ces of bullying or coercion could certainlyhave negative effects on the child, but earlyidentification and effective interventioncan ameliorate the initial effects as well asthe long-term consequences.”

The department also states that provi-sions have been made in the curriculum toteach children to make more informed deci-sions and equip them with knowledge oftheir rights.

“Regular playground supervision byteachers would also go a long way to curtail-ing such activities and it is also importantfor parents to communicate continually

with their children and to discuss all thegrowth and developmental issues as well asany situations arising from specific inci-dents at schools.”

Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-ant Ian Bennett maintains that althoughschools in the area have reported instancesof the game being played, it points to a big-ger problem within communities.

“People forget how powerful young peo-ple are. This is a case where there is nothing(spiritual) happening in schools. Therefore,there is no form of moral understanding inplace and young people go in search ofsomething new and exciting because theybecome bored with the day-to-day things inlife,” says Bennett.

He says the mainstream media are partlyto blame for the notoriety of the game,which has only stirred excitement amongchildren to start experimenting with it.

“Children are curious beings; they wantto find things out when they are at schooland are experimenting with them all thetime.

“We as adults need to channel children’senergy. That energy needs to be conductedand channelled into something good. Theyhave a rightful place in our society and weneed to ensure that they have a special placein our community.”

Mass hysteriaWarren Rossiter, principal of Hazendal

Primary School, is aware that regardless ofthe activity the children get involved in, theschool is constantly creating awarenessamong pupils regarding the consequencesof following mass hysteria. He urges par-ents to encourage their children to partici-pate in positive activities and to involvethemselves more in their children’s lives.

“Many of the things that the childrenbring to school, they learn in the streets, intheir neighbourhoods. It spreads throughthe schools and then it goes back again intotheir respective neighbourhoods. We arereaching out to parents, because we don’thave a sufficient involvement of parents.

“It is only when crisis times happen thatthe parents are very concerned, but we needongoing support and understanding fromparents to make more time for their chil-dren. I know parents are tired when theycome from work. Often it is single parentfamilies or both parents are working, butthey have to make time for their childrenbecause they need that quality time.

“We are trying to encourage that amongfamilies. We have a very close and immedi-ate contact with the child, but we don’t al-ways have that close communication withthe parent.”

Old building acommuter eyesoreTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

An old dilapidated building at the curveof Ferndale Drive close to Maitland sta-

tion has become an eyesore to train com-muters because of the dirt that is piling up.The building has not been in use for years

and it has become a dumping zone for ven-dors. It has also apparently become a denof all sorts of illegal activities, like sellingand smoking of drugs, prostitution and va-grancy, as the building is unmonitored.Matthew Smit, who uses the train daily,

says something has to be done because it’sembarrassing seeing the station area dete-riorate in such a manner.“I walk past this dump every day and it

has a bad impact on the station. A lot of peo-ple pass through it and it doesn’t look neat.It has to be cleaned up and because of the

things that are dumped there are a lot offlies. It doesn’t look good at all. Worse is,there are vendors right in front of it so itdoesn’t portray a good image,” he says.The concern is that it has become ahealth

risk. The Maitland Central ImprovementDistrict (MaitCID) says they have been try-ing to extend their hand to Metrorail towork together in making sure that thebuilding, which is believed to be owned byPrasa, is looked after.Gene Lorentz, CEO of Geocentric and

manager of MaitCID, says all they have re-ceived in return from Prasa is lip service.“We have had nothing but unwillingness

from Prasa since last year. Since July 2014we have made numerous attempts to estab-lish a working relationship with Prasa tocome up with ways to help with that areawhich has become an eyesore, but all hasbeen fruitless,” he says.

A problem building close to Maitland station has become a hotspot for dumping, which is notsitting well with commuters. PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJI

Adderley queenshows off the cityNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A museum telling the story of the MotherCity. This is the vision for the historic

Standard Bank building in Adderley Street.Although there are more than 60 existing

museums in Cape Town, none of them givean oversight of the history of the MotherCity, says AnrouxMarais, provincial minis-ter of cultural affairs and sport. Anewmuse-um has not been opened in the city since1988.It is expected that the museum will first

be proclaimed as a provincial museum andthen become a regionalmuseum for themet-ropolitan area, she says.The museum will host permanent exhibi-

tions on the history and development ofCape Town from the earliest times. The goalof the museum will be to reflect the diverse

heritage of the people of Cape Town. Mem-bers of thepublic andheritage organisationsare encouraged to make submissions aboutwhat they would like to see in the displays.The building,which is still owned byStan-

dard Bank and dubbed the “Queen of Adder-ley Street”, was completed in 1883 and be-came the head office for Standard Bank.Standard Bank’s provincial head Johan

vanWyk says: “This is, and perhaps will be,the most prestigious branch Standard Bankhas ever had.”It was decided that the building would be

used in a philanthropic way, VanWyk says.The buildingwill also serve as office space

for the department of cultural affairs. Therelocation will be finalised over the nextthree months, with the museum expected toopen late next year.V Suggestions for exhibitions can be emailed to cape-townmuseum@westerncape.gov.za.

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

The City of Cape Town has decidedto stop the Yew Street market in

Salt River because it is concernedthat the organiser is not taking theappropriate measures to minimisepublic safety risk.

The market has had its ups anddowns. After the first market washeld the City didn’t reissue the week-ly permit due to objections from resi-dents and businesses in the area.With the intervention ofPeople’s Postthe permit was reissued again (“Mar-ket back on”, 30 June).

At that time it was agreed that orga-niser Kim van Lingen would receivethe permit on a week-by-week basis.The last market was held at the begin-ning of July. Thereafter the Citystopped issuing permits again be-cause of safety issues.

Garreth Bloor, mayoral committeemember for tourism, events and eco-nomic development, says the Citycould not continue to support the Sat-urday market because Van Lingen isnot addressing concerns regardingpublic safety risk.

“While we are fully supportive ofsmall businesses and entrepreneurs,the City has a responsibility to bal-ance the needs of all users in a publicspace,” he says.

Not only were traders left with no-where to trade, there has also comea rift between Van Lingen and a fewof the stall owners. Allegedly VanLingen made some of them pay for themarket when she knew that there wasno permit to hold the market. Twomonths down the line she has notpaid back the money.

Jacqui Hewett, one of the stallhold-ers, says she is extremely upset abouthow things have turned out.

“My husband had to run aroundand get things as requested by Kim.I helped her as she promised to payback the money but now she is run-ning around and swearing at mewhen I ask for my money. I have in-curred a lot of expenses compared towhat I made at the market. For asmall business like mine losing R1600is a lot. I bought a lot of things thatI’m sitting with right now; I just don’tknow what to do with them. I want mymoney back.

“She never handled things proper-ly. Each time I liaise with her, shepromises to pay back but none of thathas happened. She hasn’t paid any ofthe people she owes,” she says.

“The market had to be stop becauseI couldn’t meet the demands the Citymade,” Van Lingen says.

“We were such a small market andpaying R5000 every Saturday to com-ply with what they wanted wasn’tworking,” she says.

When asked about owing moneyVan Lingen says she is on her way tothe police station to open a case as sheis being cyber-bullied by Hewett.

“Jacqui knew where I stayed andshe had my phone number. Sheshould have picked up a phone andcalled me instead of posting thethings she did on Facebook. I didn’task her to buy road cones, but she of-fered. When she saw she didn’t haveenough she went on to buy more. Ididn’t say I would pay her back butI can’t comment any further as wewill be going to court,” she says.

Famed NY dancecompany tours CTThe highly acclaimed New York-based Al-

vin Ailey American Dance Theatermakes a historic return to Cape Town thismonth.

This is the company’s first trip to SouthAfrica in 17 years. The trip will include sev-en shows at Artscape from Wednesday 16 toSunday 20 September.

The dance company grew from a now fa-bled 1958 performance in New York thatchanged the perception of American dance.

The company will be performing two al-ternating programmes of about two hourseach, both ending with Alvin Ailey’sRevela-tions.Exodus, by bold hip-hop choreographer

Rennie Harris, will be performed to a soul-lifting score of gospel house music, whileDutch choreographer Hans van Manen dis-plays his mastery for building dazzling crea-

tions fromsimplemotifs and geometric pat-terns in Polish Pieces.

Christopher Wheeldon’s After the Rainpas de deux – praised for its sublime sim-plicity and intricate partnering – was an in-stant hit on the New York City Ballet calen-der in 2005. Set to music by composer ArvoPärt, the sensual male-female pas de deuxwill be revealed in a fresh light as the Aileydancers make it their own.

Other works to be performed include rep-ertory favouritesNight Creature, Alvin Ai-ley’s homage to the musical genius of emi-nent American composer Duke Ellington,the spiritually charged workGrace by cele-brated choreographer Ronald K. Brownand Battle’s own high-flying and humoroussolo Takademe.

TheAiley organisation continues itsmis-sion of using dance to educate young peoplethrough special student performances, lec-ture demonstrations, workshops and mas-ter classes while on tour. Extensive educa-tional activities are being planned in CapeTown and the surrounding areas.V Visit www.alvinailey.org for more about the compa-ny and its tour. Tickets for the Cape Town shows areavailable at Computicket.

Rare find onLion’s HeadNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A group of conservation vol-unteers has discovered a liv-

ing plant so rare it was thoughtto be extinct.The plant, last documented in

the 1940s, was recently uncov-ered on Lion’s Head.The Granite Cape Flax (Poly-

carena silenoides) was recentlyfound by the Custodians of Rareand Endangered Wildflowers(Crew) team.With 39 species of Cape wild-

flowers classified as criticallyendangered by the Internation-alUnion forConservationofNa-ture, and 22 of these extinct,finds like these are very special.This population of Granite

Cape Flax will now need to bemore fully assessed and moni-tored, so that it’s endangeredstatus can be revised, and morecan be learnt about its life formand responses to fire and otherthreats, says Crew’s Gigi Lai-dler, who found the plant.“I felt great excitement,

mixed with trepidation at firstthat I might be mistaken. But Iwas elated when the expert con-firmed that one more of ourmore elusive targets has beenfoundand thatwe cannow learnmore about this species,” shesays.Over 2500 sites are sampledby

the Crew team, with 850 speciesmonitored that they are con-cerned about. They have discov-ered 19 new species and redis-covered another 23.“If we don’t know where our

threatened plants are found, weare not able to afford them anyprotection. So recording exactlocalities and population infor-mation about our threatenedplants is very important – espe-cially if we visit the same arearepeatedly over time and theserecords can give information oftrends – and this could providebackground data for trackingimpacts of climate change.”The information gathered by

Crew is important for keepingthe list of South Africa’s endan-gered plants up to date and forinforming local authorities andconservation agencies about ar-eas that should not be developedand that require special conser-vation measures, Laidler ex-plains.“The biggest threat to plants

is loss of habitat. Some plantsare very particular about theirenvironmental requirements tothrive and be happy. Our de-mand on land for housing, agri-culture, industry and recrea-tion results in less and lessnatu-ral habitats remaining. Theother massive threat comesfrom invasive alien species thatoutcompete and overrun ournatural habitats,” she says.A number of volunteers give

their time to Crew, to assist inidentifying and monitoring en-dangered plant species.V Anyone who has a passion for plants,even if they are not that knowledgea-ble about them initially, can contactthe Crew office to find where the clos-est Crew group of volunteers is thatthey can join.

PEOPLE'S POST | WOODSTOCK | MAITLANDTuesday, 8 September 2015 SPORT 11

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

The Western Cape ministry of culturalaffairs and sport celebrated local ath-letes at a special ceremony in Cape

Town last week.Provincial minister Anroux Marais hon-

oured participants in cycling, soccer, judo,kickboxing, netball, sailing, wrestling andtable tennis.One of those recognised was Athlone’s

Marion February, coach of the all-conquer-ingWesternCape u.19women’s soccer team,which won the national title for the secondconsecutive year.February said at the ceremony that al-

thoughwomen’s soccer is developing, it willstill be a while before the structures and lev-el of professionalism in the sport reachesthat of their male counterparts.“Forwomen toplayprofessionally, it is go-

ing to take more sponsorship, more hardwork in the setup at a national level, to getus up there. The sport is developing; theplayers are getting on par with equalstrength when competing against each oth-er, but the problem is that there is no fund-ing for a professional-level quality league.”February, however, still holds develop-

ment very close to her heart, particularly inAthlone.“I would like to see that maybe women’s

soccer academies start within Athlone andI am hoping to get the community girls com-ing in so that we can start from there andbuild them from a young age. The problemthatwehave is thatwe don’t haveu.9s, u.10s,u.11s in women’s soccer. We only start from13 and up.”Shamiel Salie (20) from Grassy Park was

also acknowledged at the ceremony for hisachievements in cycling. He has set hissights on competing in the Olympic Gamesin Rio de Janeiro next year after finishingin 18th place in this year’s Cape Town CycleTour.“My uncles used to cycle. We as a family

went toKalkBay to support them every yearand I told my dad that this is what I wantto do and my goal was to beat their times,because in the Argus it’s all about the sub-three-hour mark. Eventually I finished therace under three hours and that is where Ifound my passion.”

Earlier this year,People’s Post reported onShane Overmeyer’s monumental achieve-ment in being crowned the country’s best ta-ble tennis player for the eighth time in hiscareer. He too was honoured last week.Overmeyer (36) is originally from Steen-

berg, but now lives in Beacon Valley.He says he felt the magnitude of the occa-

sion. “When I saw that the invitation camefrom the minister, I felt honoured. It is notevery day that you get an invite bearing theminister’s name on it; for me it felt special,”he said.

Minors shineHe says the department has done its part

in identifying and acknowledging talent inminor sports across the province. He con-firmed plans to have the cream of the West-ern Cape’s table tennis and badminton play-ers travel to China to further develop theirtalents, which will hopefully be aligned tohis future plans.“I do live in Mitchell’s Plain, but play for

Bishop Lavis table tennis club.My intentionis to open up my own club in Mitchell’sPlain. People always askwhydon’t I join oneof the current clubs already there, but whyshould I join the one clubwhen I can get newplayers and youngsters from the other sideof Mitchell’s Plain?”At the ceremonyMarais stressed thevalue

of excellence and reiterated her pride at see-ing the sports people realise the fruits oftheir hard work and perseverance.“The athletes officially honoured have

done us proud. They have held the WesternCape’s name high at national and interna-tional sporting events. Your perseveranceand focus have groomed you into significantrole models the youth can look up to.”

Local sport heroes celebrated

Upsets aplenty in Coca-Cola Cup on SundayJOSEPH PILLAY

The ever-popular Coca-Cola Cupdid not only bring droves of specta-tors from all parts of the Cape Pen-insula to the William Herbertsports complex onSunday, but alsodelivered its fair share of upsets inthe round of 16.Four former champions, Silver

Spurs, Rygersdal,Woodlands Unit-ed and Central, all made an exitfrom the lucrative and prestigiousknockout competition.To add to the thrills and spills,

MilanoUnited (reigning championand with Desmond Crowie as itsmentor) survived a stiff challengefromValhalla United to eventuallyend with a 2-0 victory after the Val-halla side was reduced to ten play-ers in the 73rd minute after Dam-ien Stoffels was sent off.A two-goal tonic by ShafiekNazi-

er, who scored a brace in the 56thand 75th minute, was enough tokeep hope alive in the competition,although the u.18 side was bundledout after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Is-land Rovers.Milano United will now meet

Masidlale from Nyanga in thequarter finals at the Lingalethusports complex on 20 September.Last year’s champion, Silver

Spurs, was eliminated from thecompetition after falling prey toMasidlale, losing 4-3 on penaltiesafter thematch ended 1-1 in regula-tion time.Meanwhile, Young Idols of Ma-

nenberg set the scene alight withtwo first-half goals by ShannonHendricks to beat Junction Rovers2-1 in a topsy turvy showdown.TheYoung Idols side, coached by

Paul “Gaza” Johnson, will faceLanga Wanderers, who beat the2011 champions Central by 2-0.The match could be handed to

Central AFC after its managementlodged a dispute with refereeWayne Cupido on the grounds thatWanderers allegedly fielded two in-eligible players.

Rygersdal’s demise was met aft-er they had their wings clipped by

an inspired Grassy Park Unitedside, spurred on by former Santos

playerTasleemPaulse. TheGrassyPark outfit edged out the 2005

champion 2-1.Tasleem Ceres was the first to

find the net shortly after the half-time interval. However, Rygersdalwould level matters later onthrough Abdul Damon. But it wasnot to be asGrassy Park’sWassiemGeorge secured the winning goalin the dying embers of the match.In some of the day’s othermatch-

es, Morgenster United destroyedWoodlands United 5-0 in a Mitch-ell’s Plain derby with KeeganTromp (2), Taswill Davids (2) andAshwin Lotter sharing in the goalfeast.Morgenster United and Grassy

Park United will cross swords inthe quarter final while Strandfon-tein, who beat Juventus from Phil-ippi 3-2, will square off againstTurfhall (who beat Spice for Life2-0) in the remaining quarter final.
