WETTON
Business ‘after dark’SAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
A scrapyard allegedly operating afterdark is being blamed for the rise inproperty crime in Wetton.
Homeowners living around PlantationRoad claim operations at the scrap metal gi-ant continueswell into the early hours of themorning.
The company’s trading hours state theyshut up shop at 17:00.
Wetton resident Beth Parker says she sus-pects shady dealings to take place afterhours.
The sound of rattling wheels on the gravelroads can be heard after dark and thosepushing the trolleys are not from the area,she insists.
“I woke up at 03:00 one morning to thesound of a trolley being pushed down mystreet. My neighbour told me he also sawtrolleys being pushed into SA Metal in theearly hours of the morning,” she says.
This is well after trading hours, Parkerpoints out.
The company denied claims that they op-erate after hours.
The manager of the Wetton branch, says“residents must be mistaken”, and refusedto comment further.
Parker says the “extended hours” allowsstrangers to scout properties after dark.
“Them trading into the night is an invita-tion to outsiders to come into the area. Therehas recently been an increase in petty crime.We don’t feel safe when we see all these sus-picious characters walking around our ar-ea,” she argues.
Groenvlei Community Watch Chairper-son Rihyaad Kearns agrees there has beenan increase in trolley pushers in the area af-ter dark.
“We confiscate many gates, poles and trol-leys on our patrols and we are seeing themmove through the area later and later,” hesays.
Resident Yuzriq Kamaldien claims scrap-yards are directly linked to crime.
“Onadaily basiswe see taps, car bumpers,gates and light fixtures being stolen fromour homes. These are small items that can
quickly be sold for a quick fix,” he says.“We aren’t at home during the day and
thatmakes our houses easy targets. Tradinghours are irrelevant. These scrapyardsshould not be near residential areas. Theyare bringing criminals into the area. If therewere no scrapyards, scrap sellers wouldn’tbe in our area.”
A scrap collector, who asked to be knownas Henny, says residents’ comments are un-fair.
“I don’t have a job and Iwalk fromPhilippito Lansdowne because the rates are betterand I get to feed my family for that day. Peo-ple shouldn’t judge us because I don’t come
here to steal from them. I am just trying tosurvive,” he says.
Henny says although he is honest, he can’tspeak for everyone else.
“I collect cans and scrap from the side ofthe road and dumping sites. But I am surenot everyone does that. Don’t judge every-one just because some do bad things,” hesays.
Police say although the thefts are withintheir mandate, policing of trading hours, ca-ble theft and other factors are linked to theCity of Cape Town’s Law Enforcement.Units.
But theCity says theyhaveno jurisdiction
to police private businesses and do not havethe power to limit their trading hours.
Lansdowne police spokesperson SergeantNkululeko Mnyaka confirms they have re-ceived complaints about scrapyards in theprecinct.
“No official cases are open against thesescrapyards but an increasing number of res-idents are telling us to look into these dealer-ships when their possessions are stolen. Todate, we have not been able to link anycrimes or find any stolen property at thescrapyards,” he says.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your views to32516. SMSes cost R1.

KLIPFONTEIN ROAD
Wheels of change for road safetyTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Plans to implement bicycle lanes inKlip-fontein Road are in motion.The long-awaited project to expand
the city’s cycle network from the LiesbeeckParkway cycle route will link the southernsuburbs of Athlone, Rondebosch, Mowbray,Observatory, Salt River andWoodstockwiththe city centre.Accident statistics are being analysed to
determine which other roads would be ap-propriate for the roll-out, says ward council-lor Magadien Davids.College,Hazel andBelgravia roadshave so
far been shortlisted.The decision for the multimillion rand
plan comes as a precaution to prevent roadfatalities.“We have experienced high volumes of pe-
destrian and cyclist deaths in the area andhave received numerous requests for sepa-rate lanes to be made available for those us-ing bicycles as a mode of transport,” Davidssays.In addition, the city-wide plan includes
the relocation of underground stormwatersystems, hard and soft landscaping, the in-stallation of bicycle racks and the improve-ment of street lighting, bringing the totalvalue of this project to R20m.The new green colourised cycle lanes will
initially be demarcated with Vuka Bumps –or road studs – to indicate their exclusiveuse by cyclists and pedestrians.Weaving through traffic on Klipfontein
Road is a daunting experience, says cyclistJonathan Miller.He cycles from his Belgravia home to his
workplace in Athlone Industria daily.“It’s a very busy road. There are so many
buses and taxis that speed in the road duringpeak hours. The experience is very stress-ful,” he says.“With the increasing petrol prices more
people have started using cheaper modes oftransport like bicycles to get towork. I thinkthe designated lanes will make people feelsafer,” he says.Klipfontein and Belgravia roads are noto-
rious as death stretches, MiriamYusuf fromRylands insists.“While it is a great proposal, implement-
ing it is another story. There needs to be asystem in place to ensure that the lane isused for the purpose it was intended,” shesays.“My children cycle to where they need to
be. While it’s fast and easy for them to getthere, it is also a dangerous trip as not every-one is mindful of the rules of the road.”Director of Bicycle Empowerment Net-
work and advocate for cycle lanes in theCape Town CBD Andrew Wheeldon sayslinking asmany cycle routes as possible willhelp create a successful transport network.“I’ma big fan of implementing asmany cy-
cle routes as possible as long as the planningis done properly,” he says.“If people feel safe to cycle and it is conven-
ient, it becomes like second nature for themto use this mode of transport.”Wheeldon says each time the City of Cape
Town adds a new corridor to their cyclingnetwork, they empower more people.“Implementing routes that linkwith other
cycling networks and areas where peoplewould often cycle makes the routemore use-ful,” he says.“However, if the routes are not planned
and implemented properly it won’t be suc-cessful. Cycle laneswill be useful in Klipfon-tein Road but I would suggest they try and
implement the cycle lanes in the serviceroads along Klipfontein without using themain road as far as possible. Getting cyclistto cycle along identified routes and givetheir recommendations also helps duringthe planning process.”
But not everyone is positive about theroad ahead.Taxi driver Ashraf Josephs says one less
lane for motorists to use will lead to in-creased congestion.“Bicycles shouldn’t be used on a main
road. If cyclists are hit by vehicles it’s be-cause they are driving where they shouldn’tbe. These lanes will be a waste of money be-cause cyclists don’t stick to the lanes in are-as where it is already implemented,” hesays.“It only works if people actually use it.
How many people in this area actually useabicycle?Notmany, because theyare scaredthey will be robbed.”V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Go fly a kiteAs Mental Health Awareness Month getsunderway, Cape Mental Health is takingto the skies to create awareness.Rainbow-coloured kites and messages

Health’s Rainbow Foundation Anna-BethAylward says the event is a precursor tothe annual Cape Town International KiteFestival.“Rainbows are seen as a symbol of hope
for people with psychiatric disabilities,and kites have become a symbol for themental healthmovement in SouthAfrica,”she saysThe festival, now in its 20th year, is con-
sidered Africa’s biggest kite festival.Cape Mental Health’s October Mental
Health Month campaign aims to improvepublic awareness, highlight the need forcommunity-based services and advocatefor increased funding for psychosocial re-habilitation programmes like the Rain-bow Foundation.It is estimated that one in five South Af-
ricans will experience a mental illness ordisorder severe enough to affect their livessignificantly at some point. According tothe World Health Organisation, a stagger-ing 75% of people who have a mental ill-ness do not have access to the treatmentthey need.Cape Mental Health will run a series of
events throughout the month in the buildup to the Cape Town International KiteFestival on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 No-vember in Muizenberg.People’s Post is the print media partner

Patience is running thin at the HanoverPark Day Hospital.
This as patients of the Dr AburahmanCommunity Health Centre in Kewtown arebeing referred to the already crowded gov-ernment health facility.
The patients were recently informed thattheir chronic medication would no longerbe dispensed from the facility, but would beavailable for collection at Hanover Park andManenberg dispensing facilities.
The day hospital is already battling withovercrowded hallways and patients waitingfor hours to be assisted, residents fume.
Allowing an influx from neighbouring ar-eas to the Hanover Park facility just isn’t fea-sible, insists patient Maurice Jackson.
“Every day people stand in long lines.Staff are already overworked as it is. If pa-tients from Manenberg and other areas arereferred to our day hospital, it will onlymake the situation more unbearable,” hesays.
Provincial health department spokesper-son Sithembiso Magubane says dispensingfrom Hanover Park is not a permanent ar-rangement.
“We will only be assisting patients fromother areas at the facility while renovationstake place and until a suitable venue withinthe affected communities is found,” he says.
He also confirmed that no additional staffwill be employed to assist patients.
“Patients collecting medication don’t allcollect on the same day. We don’t foresee anyimpact on service delivery.”
But Hanover Park Health Forum chair-person Elizabeth Bantam says they will not
allow patients from other areas to be assist-ed at the facility.
“We just don’t have the space or resourcesavailable to assist outside communities, es-pecially if they have health care facilities intheir own areas. It doesn’t make sense,” shesays.
“We have been struggling for months toget the day hospital moved to a safer areaand out of the firing line. The seniors in thecommunity sit for hours and have struggled
with getting their medication delivered eversince the service became available. If theycan’t even provide proper service to the resi-dents of Hanover Park, how do they expectto improve on service delivery with doublethe number of people coming through thedoors?” she asks.
Another patient, who asked not to benamed, says assisting patients from outsidethe community is a bad idea.
“Not only will it make the queues longer
and staff more strained, it might also bringother criminal elements into an area that isalready high risk,” she says.
“We don’t need gangsters and pettythieves coming from other communities. Wehave our own problems here. I understandthat people need access to health services,but surely alternative venues in their ownareas is not asking for too much.”V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your views to32516.

Nine decades ofjoy and memoriesTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

A golden oldie with a bigheart for her community.
This is how members of theHanover Roses describe Mar-ia Hutton, the oldest memberof the seniors club.
Hutton recently celebratedher 90th birthday and wasoverjoyed when she was sur-prised with a pink-themedparty thrown by the seniorclub members at the HanoverPark Community Centre.
Hutton spent years work-ing in a factory in her home-town of Paarl before movingto Hanover Park in 1969.
“I’ve been living in Hano-ver Park for 45 years. This ishome. I have raised my chil-dren and grandchildrenhere and this is where I willstay until I die,” she says.
After moving to Hanover Park, Huttonstarted working as a domestic worker.
She retired at the age of 84.“Working hard is my secret to staying
young. I have arthritis and a heart condi-tion, but other than that I can still walk anddo everything for myself. It’s only been afew years since I’ve retired and I think thatis why I’m still active and full of life. I alsoeat healthy which helps to keep the illness-es away,” she says.
Hutton has four children, 10 grandchil-dren and 12 great-grandchildren, who shesays are her world.
“My grand-children and great-grandchil-dren bring me so much joy. I love spendingtime with them and watching them grow.”
Hutton thanks all the members of theHanover Roses for their love and blessingson her birthday.
“This was a great surprise. The HanoverRoses have been so good to me and provideus seniors with hours of fun.”

Two highly invasive wasp species are ex-panding their range throughout the prov-ince.
Council is now putting measures inplace to control the spread of these wasps.
The European paper wasp (Polistesdominula) and the Ger-man wasp or yellow-jacket (Vespula ger-manica) have found theCape metro and Bolandarea to be ideal habitatssuited for their expan-sion.
However, given theirinvasive nature, con-cern has arisen that ifthese wasps are left un-controlled, they mayspread to the majority oftowns in the WesternCape and other provinc-es where the climate iseven more suited totheir dominion.
According to international cases of in-vasion involving both species, these in-sects have the potential to create prob-lems ranging from being a nuisance to se-rious economic impacts in the wine,deciduous fruit and beekeeping indus-tries.
It is known that the German wasp in
particular is aggressive and there are sev-eral reported cases of them stinging work-ers harvesting grapes and other fruits.They can also present a hazard to resi-dents and homeowners enjoying the out-doors who may unintentionally disturb a
colony. They are knownto attack and kill honey-bees and infiltrate beehives, which is detri-mental to the honey in-dustry.
As per the NationalEnvironmental Manage-ment Biodiversity Act,both species are listed asCategory 1b invasivespecies which requirecontrol by means of aninvasive species man-agement programme.
The City of Cape Townand the StellenboschMunicipality have put
in place dedicated teams trained in inva-sive wasp control and will therefore beequiped to address the spread of these in-vasive wasps, says Mayoral Committeemember for Energy, Environmental andSpatial Planning Johan van der Merwe.
For assistance to remove these wasps,visit www.capetowninvasives.org.za/edrr/target-list to report any nests.
Invaders on pest hit list
BEWARE: The German wasp is a me-dium-sized wasp with yellow andblack markings on the abdomen.This wasp is very aggressive.

Contractors on the moveThe first few hundred flats in Hanover
Parkhavebeencompletely renovatedsix months in advance.
This marks the completion of the firstphase the City of Cape Town’s CommunityResidential Units Refurbishment Pro-gramme in the area.Mayoral Committeemember forHuman
Settlements Siyabulela Mamkeli sayscouncil is pleased with the speedy comple-tion.“TheCity views the completion of the re-
furbishment of 600 City rental units inHanover Park as a breakthrough in the re-furbishment programme currently beingrolled out city-wide,” he says.The area comprises 28 three-storey twin
block courts with a total of 1 680 rentalunits.Because of the number of units, the area
was divided into three sub-projects to en-sure sound project management.Ten local subcontractors were contract-
ed for this phase and in total more thanR4 million was spent on local labour.The Hanover Park A project com-
menced in September 2012 with an esti-mated completion date of 26 February2015.“The completion of this phase of the
Hanover Park project, six months aheadof time, is thanks to a true team effort.While several of our other upgrade-con-tracts ran into difficulty from the end oflast year due to contractor-related issues,replacement contractors have been ap-pointed,” he says.Most of the City’s rental blocks of flats
are more than 30 years old and, becauseof that, quality is a top priority when itcomes to the upgrades, Mamkeli adds.After completion each rental unit is put
through stringent quality checks before itis certified and are followed by flat inspec-tions after the residents move back home.“Any complaints are forwarded to the
relevant authority for remedial action. Atenants’ opinion poll is also conducted oncompletion of each block,” he says.The City’s programme in Manenberg is
also progressing well.A total of 1 314 of the 1 584 rental units
earmarked for internal upgrades havebeen completed with the estimated com-pletion of internal upgrades within thenext three months.Mamkeli says contractors’ financial
troubles temporarily put the project onhold. “This administration has spared noeffort to get this programme back on trackafter our implementing agent’s contractorwas liquidated. City staff and contractors
have also worked under volatile circum-stances given the gang violence experi-enced in this area,” Mamkeli says.Mamkeli says they hope to keep to the
stipulated date for overall completion.“Our overall project completion date of
June 2015 is still achievable butwe remainconcerned about the level of gang violencewhich is jeopardising the safety of our res-idents and our efforts to increase servicedelivery. We urge our communities toworkwith us to ensure our refurbishmentprogramme can be completed on time,” hesays.In other parts of the city more than 6 500
units of the 7 775 initially identified in 2008have already been upgraded as part of thisprogramme.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your viewsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Your SMSes. The odour smells like diesel. It comes intoour home in Surrey Estate. Please do some-thing about it. It gives me a headache.
.The complaints are true. I live in Green-haven. This morning and some eveningsthere is a strong sulphur smell in the air.People in my house are suddenly coughingand my nose burns.
. You are investigating the wrong compa-ny. The smell comes from a place in Mymoe-na Crescent in Athlone Industria 2.
. Thank you for the article on air quality.The company responsible is in the Athloneindustrial area.
. Regarding the ammonia bust. We are atsiege in Lansdowne. Does the City of CapeTown still care?
. The only effect damaged electric boxeshave on me is disgust. I’m disgusted at thevandals. Sies, man! If your child is electro-cuted, you would make sure all hell breaksloose or want compensation – to buy the nextfix for the next few years.
. While I commend the City of Cape Townfor the eviction of the Malan family inManenberg, I wonder why all the evictionstaking place are only from affiliates of theAmericans gang. Station commander Andrevan Wyk is well aware of Hard Livings, Clev-er Kids and Jesters who are also using coun-cil units to trade drugs. When will they beevicted?
. I read about the long waiting times atthe new Heideveld Hospital. I want to thankthe staff of the hospital from the bottom ofhearts – if I hadgone elsewhere, Iwouldhavelost my daughter and her unborn baby. Ipray that God will bless all of you. When my
daughter fell ill, anurse evenencouragedmeto pray for her while she was stroking mydaughter’s hair. She was on life support ma-chines for five days and her baby was bornat eight months. If it wasn’t for the staff atthe Heideveld Hospital, my daughter wouldhave died. Keep up the good work! VirginiaStoffels (mother of Stacey Diedericks)
. I’m also sick and tired of Heideveld Hos-pital. Having to queue outside from about05:00, we have no shelter from the cold andrain. The wall was a help, but it has been re-moved for a garden.
. Clearly no thought goes into these con-tingency measures when making alterna-tives for upgrades like GF Jooste. The nurs-ing college has space for a second hospitaland it’s next to the Heideveld Trauma Unit.Temporary prefabs can be easily erected toaccommodate and assist with the load. Theycan even split the cases between the two. Ac-
tion is needed. If government struggles tospend budgets, there is a productive way tospend it. Vacant buildings can also be al-tered to assist. Why wait for unnecessarypublic violent action?
. Government should build another pris-on rather than waste money on a stadiumwhich is not used. The sentences for seriouscrime is too light, therefore people don’tmind killing and hurting innocent people.They walk around with guns like it’s legal.Where does it end? The bottom line is: makepunishment harder and longer. And buildanother prison – then taxpayers know weretheir money’s going: to make our countrysafer for the kids growing up now.
. What’s wrong with forgiving those whoneed a second chance? Stoppushing them in-to the gutter and put yourself in their shoes.Never forget that we are all here on bor-rowed time – like a candle in the wind.

MANENBERG
Dirty businessTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
A burning issue.This is howManenberg residents liv-
ing in Ohio Avenue and PetuniaStreets describe the illegal scrapyards alleg-edly causing filth and crime in their area.Homeowners claim their hard-earned
property is being stolen and traded for nextto nothing at these “popup scrapyards”, alsoknown as bucket shops.Scrap is burnt on the side of the road and
the metal content is sold while the charredremnants are left blowing in the street, lo-cals lament.Ohio Avenue resident Keith Joshua says
scrap collectors shamelessly scratchthrough the possessions on the nearby prop-erties in search or materials to sell.“It happens around the clock. Whether it
is early in themorning or late at night, thereare always people with trolleys of scrap,wires, pipes and car parts making their waydown this street,” he fumes.“This is a residential area, but it feels like
an industrial zone. This whole business isleaving the area in a mess.”A few roads away, Petunia Street resident
Roger Williams is equally angry.“If police search the scrapyard in my
street, they are bound to find stolen proper-ty,” he insists.“These types of businesses never have
good reputations. They give criminals aneasywayof getting rid of stolenproperty andare a health hazard.”Neither of the bucket shops have the pa-
perwork required for second-hand dealing,Williams argues.“I am convinced there are illegal dealings
taking place. I have complained to police onmore than one occasion and yet the businessis still operating.”
Both scrapyard “owners” refused to com-ment.Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-
ant Ian Bennett confirms police have raideda number of properties inManenberg identi-fied as scrapyards.“We recently shut down the scrapyard in
Ohio Avenue and are still keeping an eye onit. The Petunia Street property is also undersurveillance,” he says.“New scrapyards poppinguphave become
a problem over the last two months andmany of the stolen fencing and bricks fromthe area have been recovered at thesepremises.”Bennett says police and law enforcement
conduct many joint operations at identifiedproperties as well as existing scrapyards toensure they are compliant.“It is also very important that scrapyard
owners take copies of ID documents whenpeople do bring in scrap items. It is very dif-ficult to police an issue such as scrapyardsoperating illegally because people are cleverand use various excuses to justify the mate-rials being on their property.”Mayoral Committee member for Safety
and Security JP Smith encourages residentsto report all properties where they suspectillegal activity to be taking place.“The City of Cape Town will not tolerate
scrapyards operating illegally especiallyfrom council property as it costs thousandsto replace fencing, bricks and other itemsstolen to trade in for scrap.”Manenberg Community Policing Forum
chairpersonRandallApril says illegal scrap-yards have been a hot topic at crime meet-ings. “Theft is a big problem in the precinctand scrapyards definitely add to the prob-lem.Wewant all scrapyards to be shut down.They aren’t aesthetically pleasing and comewith many health hazards as a result of peo-ple burning the metals.”
Vagrancy unsettles residentsASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Vagrants living under theWet-ton Road bridge have becomea nightmare for nearby resi-dents.Those affected claim the ar-
ea has gone to “hell” and thatnothing is being done to per-manently remove the home-less people from under thebridge.A resident, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, says anumber of homeless peoplehave taken up residence underthe bridge in Thomas Road.“There are currently home-
less people who live here ‘per-manently’ opposite our homesand surrounding area. Theyhave been here every day andnight for the last two months, give ortake, and don’t seem to be moving on,”she says.However, ward councillor Ian Iversen
says just moving the homeless alongwon’t solve the problem.“Law enforcement has been involved
and assisting with the situation. Theyhavemoved thevagrants awayonnumer-ous occasions, but they return after a dayor two,” he says.Iversen says he has gone on a sitemeet-
ing with the City of Cape Town’s roadsbranch which he says did not producepositive results.“I was informed that it is a social prob-
lem which needs to be addressed and notthe roads branch issue to solve,” he says.Iversen, though, suggests that sharp
stones and bricks be embedded in theconcrete under the bridge where thehomeless people are seen setting up resi-dence.“We did this at the Kenilworth Train
Station and it produced good results. Thehomeless people can not sleep next thevibracrete fence at the station due thestones,” he says. “I suggest that this op-tionbe exploredas itmayhelp to alleviatethe problem at Wetton Road Bridge.”Iversen is also concerned about the
electricity substation which is built intothe area under the bridge. “The smokefrom the fire that the vagrants make un-der the bridge is sucked into the substa-tion room. I can’t believe that this canbe acceptable to the electricity branch asI imagine it could have a negative impacton their equipment,” he explains.Furthermore, Iversen encourages resi-
dents and the public to stop giving foodand money to homeless people as this at-tracts them to the area.“If we residents can instead support lo-
cal homeless shelters and organisationwhich assist homeless people this willhelp to alleviate the problem in the com-munity,” he says.

DISASTER RELIEF
Be on fire alertThe Cape’s hot and dry season is fast-ap-
proaching, bringing with it a higherrisk of fires.
Local relief NPO Mustadafin Foundation,which assists communities in disaster situa-tions, urgesCapetonians tobe fire-consciousand do their bit in reducing fire threats.“Fires in Cape Town have become amajor
risk, especially in informal settlements. Thestrong winds in summer can cause greathavoc when [residents] are careless anddon’t monitor flammable objects,” saysfoundation director Ghairunisa Johnstone.“Heat-based objects should always be at-
tended to andproperlymonitored.Residentsshould be properly informed onwhat to lookout for and how they can prevent a fire fromstarting in the first place.”Flammable objects, such as candles, ciga-
rettes, matches, lighters and appliances,must be carefully monitored and not left un-attended. It must also not be left near flam-mable textiles.“Fires can be extinguished by pouringwa-
ter over it or covering it with sand or cloth-ing. Make sure candles are blown out beforegoing to bed and that heating devices areswitched off. Don’t throw cigarette butts out
of vehicles or windows,” Johnstone says.If you have electrical devices in your
home, make sure it is properly serviced.Do not overload electrical extensionswith
more than four plugs in one unit, she warns.“It is also advisable to switch off all appli-
ances at the socket when leaving yourhome,” Johnstone advises.Residents using paraffin should educate
themselves on its dangers, as paraffin appli-ances are dangerous if not handled correct-ly. “Keep children away from paraffin anduse with caution, even when unlit. Makesure paraffin appliances are on a clean, dryand firm surface with no blankets, clothesor cloths nearby. Also ensure that you havea bucket of sand nearby to extinguish a firequickly,” Johnstone recommends.If you live near a bush or open field, make
sure you have firebreaks around your hometo minimise the probability of veld fires en-tering your property.Invest in a fire extinguisher or a garden
hose and educate your children about firesand what to do should a fire occur.V If you would like to donate time, goods or fundsto the Mustadafin Foundation, phone their office on(021) 633 0010 or visit www.mustadafin.org.za.

Focus on breast cancer awarenessOctober is Breast Cancer Month – amonthdedicated to increasingawarenessaround the disease.While most women are aware that it is
a potential risk, many do not know thatbreast cancer is themost common canceramong women, according to a statementby a healthcare company.Research has shown that as many as
one in every 33 women will be diagnosedwith the disease, the statement reads.However, women diagnosed with stage
one cancer have an 88% chance of surviv-al and early detection is critical.In addition, women need to ensure that
they are adequately covered as medicalcosts can be extremely high.Follow these tips to stay ahead of the
disease.. Make mammograms mandatory.
Most medical schemes cover one mam-
mogram a year as part of your preventa-tive benefits.
. Take the BRCA gene test. Womenwho inherit a mutation of one of thesegenes are at greater risk of developingbreast cancer. If you have a higher-than-normal risk (for instance, an immediaterelative was diagnosed with breast can-cer), contact your medical provider tofind out if your policy covers this test.
. Although most women can performbreast examinations themselves, it is agood idea to get a medical practitioner toserve as a secondopinion, as aprofession-al tends to be more thorough.
. Critical illness insurance pays out abenefit amount when you are diagnosedwith a critical illness such as cancer.This is often used to pay off debt for
medical aid shortfalls among other unex-pected expenses.

Westridge Yankees got their MajorLeague baseball season off to a fly-ing start at their home ground in
Mitchell’s Plain.With new coach Sean Campbell at the
helm, Yankees beat newly promoted Good-wood Demons 7-6. Campbell has been as-sisting the club last year but has decidedto take up the job on a permanent basis.This is indeed a good result for the clubwho has been battling for a number ofyears.Chad Eksteen 3/5, Luwayne du Plessis
3/5 including 3rbi’s and Kyle Seekoei 2/4shone with the bat for the home side. DuPlessis andNawaazVeale shared the pitch-ing duties for the hosts.Du Plessis also starred on the mound for
Yankees, facing 22 batters while he struckout six batters. Nawaaz Veale took overandallowedeightwalkswithMarcelHalletalso coming on.Bothasig, with Neil Adonis as head
coach, beat Athlone Athletics 3-1 at Park-town. This was Adonis’ first game incharge after calling the shots for the pastthree seasons at Athlone.The match was moved to Parktown be-
cause Bothasig’s home diamond has notbeen properly prepared for the season.But this seemed to have had little effect
on theBothasig teamwho fought backafterbeing 0-1 down after the third frame andcame charging back to record their firstwin of the season. Athlone took the leadwhen Ricardo Siljeur came charging homeon an error in the top of the third frame.But Bothasig levelled matters when NickEagles’ two base hit saw Keenan Clarkequalise.Bothasig wrapped up the match in the
eighth innings when a single into deep leftoutfield by Brett Willemburg saw DamienMitchell scramble home, while Eaglesscored his second run following an errorby Darren Wedel, fielding at first base.Jarred Elario started off on the mound
for Bothasig and allowed two hits while hestruck out six of the 17 batters he faced.BradErasmus tookover andconcededonlyone hit. Willemburg 2/4, Benji Smith 2/4and Eagles 1/ 4 including 1rbi were Both-asig’s best batters.Athlone’s pitchingdutieswere sharedby
Carl Michaels, who conceded three hitswhile striking out six of the 22 batters hefaced, and Lloyd Stevens who took overfrom him and allowed two hits.V Major League results: Athlone Athletics 1, Bothasig3; Durbanville 10, Bellville 5; Westridge Yankees 7,Goodwood Demons 6; Silvertree 6, VOB 8

er dream start to their season – they are atthe summit of the table on 14 points, having
collected points from their four wins andtwodraws in their sixmatches. They remainunbeaten and will look to continue theirwinning ways when they take on Tony DeNobrega’s charges from Parow.The season start is reminiscent of Theo

so be action when they host Thanda RoyalZulu FC at Athlone Stadium on Fridayevening.
All Stars have won only one of their sixoutings, lost one and drew four. Going intothe match against the team from Richard’sBay, they will look to add to their seven logpoints with a victory.Awin over the current eighth-placed team
will see them move up on the log.Meanwhile, second-placed FC Cape Town
will host 11th-placed Baroka FC at ParowStadium on Saturday.The Parow side have played seven match-
es thus far and picked up 13 log points. Theyare one of three unbeaten teams in the NFD,
after having won three matches and playedto four stalemates.Fifth-placed Santos will travel to Johan-
nesburg to take on 10th-place Jomo Cosmoson Saturday. The People’s Teamhave had aninconsistent start to the season.They have won three of their six outings,
lost two and drew one. However, FaroukAb-rahams’ troopswill be determined to contin-ue their winning form up north. The venuefor the clash is yet to be determined.V Fridays matches kick-off at 19:30, while all teamsin action on Saturday will see a 15:30 start.
