FRESNAYE

Split about extensionNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A 40 metre road extension has Fresnayelocals choosing sides as the City ofCape Town intends to upgrade of Ave-

nue St. Bartholomew in Fresnaye.A public participation process is current-

ly running and the proposed upgrade has re-ceived mixed responses, says Mayoral Com-mittee member for Transport Brett Herron.The proposed upgrade will see the con-

struction of a section of approximately 40

metres of roadway adjacent to erf 1501,which would link up two existing sectionsof Avenue St. Bartholomew, connecting atthe Top Road.“Construction is, however, complexdue to

the existence of rock on which adjacentstructures are founded,” Herron says.A sector of the communityhasapproached

the City with a request that Transport forCape Town, the City’s transport authority,construct themissing section of St Bartholo-mew Avenue to facilitate greater access tothe area, Herrons explains.

“It is understood that another sector of thecommunity is opposed to the construction ofthe missing link because once this link isconstructed it will facilitate easier access in-to the area and will have a negative impacton their personal safety,” he says.Atlantic Seaboard Neighbourhood Watch

chairpersonDerek Salter says the participa-tion process and upgrade were discussed ata recent monthly meeting.“We felt it was up to residents in that par-

ticular area to decide what is most impor-tant for them. However, the general consen-

sus was that reinstating the link would bebeneficial. It would help provide better linksto residents in the area and above for emer-gency vehicles such as the police, ambu-lance and the fire services. No one suggestedthat it might be detrimental to safety.”Residents havebeenaskedduring thepub-

lic participation process whether theywould be willing to contribute to this up-grade, Herron adds.“As the public participation process is

still ongoing I cannot verify whether this isindeed the case.”

but it also poses a danger to marinelife, Leeuwner explains.

“During our rehabilitation workwith endangered sea turtles we havefound plastic pieces, bits of balloonsandpieces of plastic bags in thegastro-intestinal tracts, bladders and bodycavities of hatchlings, sub-adults andadults,” said Leeuwner.A study led by researchers from

Australia’s Commonwealth Scientificand Industrial ResearchOrganizationhas recently found that nine out of tensea birds have ingested plastic. Thestudy has also predicted that withinthe next 35 years, 99% of all seabirdswill be victim to plastic ingestion.

A little less rubbish in the oceans

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Twoworldwars, the invention of themotor car, the start of Apartheid

and the creation of our democracy ...These are some of the events the

South African National Institute forCrime Prevention and the Reintegra-tion of Offenders (Nicro) has weath-ered while promoting reforms in thejustice system.This month Nicro celebrates its

105th birthday.Nicro works to divert offenders

from the courts so that they do not re-ceive a criminal record and encourag-es non-custodial sentencing or com-munity service as an alternative toserving a sentence in prison.The organisation also offers prison

based support to enhance an offend-er’s chance of successfully reintegrat-ing back into society. These services

are offered to both adults and chil-dren.On its establishment in 1910, the pri-

mary objectives of the then South Af-rican Prisoners Aid Association in-volved visiting prisoners and encour-aging their reform in addition toproviding support for the accused, re-leased prisoners and their familymembers, explains Nicro spokesper-son Jacques Sibomana.Founded by Justice Mr J de Villiers

Roos, it was the first countrywide or-ganisation of its kind for the aid andafter-care of prisoners and their fami-lies. Prior to this the Salvation Army,as part of their activities, provided ac-commodation for released prisoners.Little more than a decade later the

organisation elected to expand its fo-cus by introducing crime preventionservices, which included provisionfor the prevention of recidivismor therelapse into criminal behaviour, the

studyof cause of crimeand recidivismin addition to public education.The organisation also encouraged

the study of causes underlying crime.From the onset the Association lob-

bied for social reform, both in termsof crime prevention and the rehabili-tation of offenders. “NICRO has had agreat impact and contribution toSouth African Criminal Justice sys-tems, and introduced key servicesthat have now been adopted by theJustice system,” Sibomana says.These include the establishment of

probation services, introducingdiver-sion services to children, the Pio-neered Prisoners friend serviceswhich started prison visitors as wellas non-custodial sentencing.The organisation was involved in

the establishment of labour bureausand treatment facilities for alcoholics,aswell as the introduction of a schemein terms of which accused people

could pay their fines in instalments.In 1970 the Association changed its

name to Nicro.Twodecades laterNicro’s use of lob-

bying and social action as a tool to fa-cilitate social change becamemore ev-ident, explains Sibomana.In 1990 the National Council re-

leased a statement lobbying for appro-priate racial representation on thecommittee established to review thedeath penalty, and on 17 October 1992Nicro officially took an abolitioniststance against the death penalty.Currently Nicro is encouraging the

public to get involved in supportingthe programs that NICRO offers,through individual giving, Sibomanasays. “We are hoping to see the organi-sation growing strong and able to pro-vide the much needed services in ourcommunities. We need our communi-ties to get involved with the work thatthe organisation is doing.”

Parking bays ‘hijacked’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Parking bays across the City were hi-jacked on Friday, as Capetonians cele-

brated PARK(ing) Day.The event is part of an annual open-

source global event where citizens, artistsand activists collaborate to temporarilytransform metered parking spaces into tem-porary public places, or ‘parklets’, explainsOpen Streets’ Marcela Guerrero Casas.

Open Streets is one of the organisationsinvolved in the event, and is mobilising oth-ers to join the initiative and transform a

parking bay for the day.“We are encouraging people to get in-

volved and share their ideas through a Fa-cebook event and created an outdoor officewith some games in front of our office inHarrington Street,” she says.

The global event began in 2005 when a SanFrancisco art and design studio converteda single metered parking space into a tem-porary public park in San Francisco.

The mission of the local PARK(ing) Dayis to call attention to the need for more ur-ban open space, to generate critical debatearound how public space is created and allo-cated, and to improve the quality of the ur-

ban human habitat.Guerrero Casas says the initiative should

however go further than just one day.“In Cape Town we could never build

enough parking bays to satisfy the seeming-ly insatiable need for more parking spaces,”says Guerrero Casas.

“The solution lies in a new long-term ap-proach to mobility and how the city centreis maximised for all users. After all, only aminority private cars as their main form oftransport in the city.

“PARK(ing) Day provides us all with anopportunity to really see how we can usepublic space differently,” she says.

Park(ing) Day is aglobal event aimedat temporarilytransformingmetered parkingspaces intotemporary publicplaces.

Cape Town schools are almost full and theWestern Cape Education Department ur-ges parents to enrol children as soon aspossible.

“To date, schools in the Western Capehave processed 128 545 applications forplacement for the 2016 school year. So far,118 429 learners have been placed,” saideducation minister Debbie Schäfer in astatement to the media last week.

“Parents were encouraged to apply toschools by 30 June, and those who nowstill need spaces at schools need to urgent-ly approach their nearest schools or theclosest district office to find out whichschools still have spaces available,” she

said.“We cannot guarantee places in schools

of choice, but will do our utmost to placechildren appropriately. It is crucial thatparents who have failed to enrol theirchild for the 2016 school year to do so ur-gently and before the end of the third termto ensure that they secure a place for theirchild.”

Schäfer says there are currently 3 470learners who have been accepted at morethan one school.

“Some 2 257 of these learners are Grade8 learners who have not confirmed if theyare taking up their places,” she says.

“Moreover, we expect that learners will

continue to migrate to the Western Capefrom other provinces in search of a bettereducation and access to opportunities.

“Each year we plan as best we can forthe influx of additional learners from oth-er provinces. The inward migration intothe Western Cape has huge financial andplanning implications, impacting on theprovisioning of education resources andthe overall management of the system,”she says.

“We have to prioritise according to thegreatest need across the whole province,and available budget.

“Our current budget is under consider-able pressure.”

The fight against malnutrition in children hascome to Cape Town with a new world-classtherapeutic food production facility openingin the area.

The facility is a joint venture between SouthAfrican shareholders and Norwegian-basedGC Rieber Compact and will make and dis-tribute a ready-to-use therapeutic food prod-uct called eeZeePaste, specifically designedfor extremely malnourished children be-tween the ages of six and 24 months.

The development of therapeutic food prod-ucts such as eeZeePaste has revolutionizedthe treatment of severe malnutrition as it al-lows infants and children to be safely treatedat home.

UNICEF data estimates that more than 34million children under the age of five world-wide suffer from acute malnutrition, while anadditional 17 million children suffer from itsmost extreme form, severe acute malnutri-tion, and require specialised therapeutic feed-ing care in the form of preparations such aseeZeePaste. These ready-to-use products aredesigned to be consumed directly from the sa-chet without any preparation, and thereforeavoid accidental contamination from unsafewater sources. The product also has a 24-month shelf life and is easily transportable,making it an ideal response to malnutritionin remote or difficult to access areas.

The new facility has also reinforced CapeTown’s position as a world-class food-process-ing destination, says Salman Kajie, head of in-vestment promotion at Wesgro, the province’sofficial destination marketing, investmentand trade promotion agency. GC Rieber Com-pact is the only UNICEF accredited producerin South Africa and one of only 13 in the world.V The new facility has already created 21 new jobs.

Residents are more likely to experiencesnake encounters due to spring-time, warnsShaun MacLeod, co-ordinator of the SnakeRescue volunteer team in the Cape Peninsu-la.

“Every spring snakes come out of hiberna-tion on the hunt for a much needed springmeal. Snakes are very important to our natu-ral environment as they control the verminrodents that destroy crops and carry numer-ous diseases,” says MacLeod, who is also a

director of Reptile Educational AwarenessConsultants (REAC).“Snakes and various other reptiles form

part of the very important balance in our eco-system. A simple equation – themore snakeswe kill, themore rodents and pests there willbe. We have encroached into their naturalhabitat through habitat degradation, frag-mentation and urban expansion. Ponds,heaps of building rubble and rockeries in andaround gardens and homes create micro en-vironments, which will inevitably attractsnakes,” MacLeod warns.He reminds residents that snakes “are at-

tracted to neglected areas where there is notmuch disturbance, as snakes hate confronta-tion”. “There is no real way of keepingsnakes off yourproperty, but if youkeepyourgrass cut short, trees well trimmed and cleanup all rubble, just to mention a few, thenthere is less likelihood for snakes to resideonyourproperty. In short – keepyour gardentidy,” he says.“Leave snakes alone – and it will leave you

alone. Most bites occur when people attemptto kill snakes,” he says.V If a snake is encountered, contact MacLeod on082 532 5033 for advice or for emergencies pertainingsnakes.

Who let the snakes out?

Indigenous gamesteam hopes to shineEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

TheWesternCape indigenous sports teamwas honoured in a capping ceremony at

Shalimar Gardens Hotel on Friday night.The ceremony, hosted by the minister of

cultural affairs and sport, Anroux Marais,awarded the team provincial colours to rep-resent the Western Cape at the National In-digenous Games Festival in Tshwane thisweek.Indigenous games are linked to the tradi-

tions of a cultural group, being of a local ori-gin and requiring physical skill, strategyand/or chance. Culture is not static: indige-nous people continually added to their owncultural, material and physical heritage.Through reliving and reinventing thegames of their forefathers and mothers,adding and creating their own games alongthe way, these games have become a partof daily living.Despite Africa’s rich history of indige-

nous games, a number of the games have be-come extinct without having been docu-

mented in historical and anthropologicalaccounts of the indigenous people of Africa.However, the indigenous games that still

exist, have since been included in the prior-ity sporting codes in the country. A specialfocus has been given to these games as oneof the avenues for mass participation.These games are now organised into nine

different sporting codes and the WesternCape is one of the provinces competing atthe national festival.No less than 140 participants will repre-

sent Team Western Cape to compete in allnine codes, namely: Dibeke, Diketo, DrieStokkies, Iintonga, Jukskei, Kgati, Kho-kho, Morabaraba and NcuvaMarais wished the team well and encour-

aged them to bring home gold. “Our historyneed not be lost as older generations passon. Team Western Cape has been selectedfrom the best indigenous games playersavailable. It is now their duty to keep thesegames alive in our communities so that fu-ture generations can celebrate ourheritage.By excelling in these games, these playerswill revive and popularise our heritage.”

The Western Cape indigenous sports team was given a special send-off in Athlone on Fridaynight.

– The art of talking your way out of anything,which he performed at last year’s FringeFestival. The showwas incidentally also thelast public show in Cape Town. This yearthough, Marcel has a whole lot of new tricksup his sleeve.The new show features new magic, deliv-

ered inMarcel’s trademarkwitty “stand-up”style. There’s also more story-telling withanecdotes about his travels and experiencesas a magician.Performing magic for people who aren’t

expecting it usually produces interesting re-sults. On one occasion, for example, hestopped for lunch on his way to a show anddecided to brighten someone’s day with amagic trick. “The woman freaked out be-cause she had no one around to corroborate

that it had actually happened.”One could almost sayMarcel’s comedy ca-

reer startedwith people whoweren’t expect-ing it. When other children were waiting ta-bles, Marcel, who had already started doingshows at the Bellville Library over schoolholidays, was performing in restaurants fortips.Today, Marcel is one of the country’s lead-

ing performers. In 2008 hewas recognised asone of Africa’s leading magicians at the Vis-mayan International Magic Conventionheld in India.Most of his work is for corporate events,

where he acts as emcee or more recently,teaches people about the importance of“play” in the workplace or as he puts it “totake play seriously”.Marcel explains that learning to have fun

or embracing cultural arts, gives people ameans to express themselves, somethingwhich is essential to understanding otherpeople and having empathy.He works with businesses to help them

“create wow in customer service”, usingmagic to prove his point.Customer service is something Marcel

takes seriously and it’s important to himthat his audiences feel like they are gettinga genuine, sincere performance.

This is where his improvisation skillscome in handy; giving him the ability toadapt to his audience and make his showsmore interactive.Although there’s a light narrative run-

ning through Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talkyour way out of this!, Marcel doesn’t like theidea of a magic show that’s too scripted.“Youwant tomake theaudience feel like thisis happening for the first time.”His performance at the Fringe Festival is

an opportunity to see another side of his ex-tensive repertoire and escape reality for anhour.Marcel says the festival itself is a chance

to see a wide variety of productions – every-thing from theatre pieces to magic – and allin one place. He also urges Capetonians tobuy tickets early and support the local per-formers on stage this year.V Sleight of Mouth 2: Now talk your way out of this!will be on stage at Cape Town City Hall Theatre 3 at19:30 on Thursday 24, Saturday 25, Tuesday 29 Sep-tember and Friday 2 October. Shows will also run at17:30 on Saturday 26 and Monday 28 September, at15:00 on Sunday 27 September and at 13:05 on Thurs-day 1 October. Marcel will also be performing at theAlexander Bar at 13:05 on Tuesday 29 September.Tickets cost R70 or R63 (concessions) from the dooror www.capetownfringe.co.za.

Feed the cause, not the beggarsThe City of Cape Town’s social develop-

ment and early childhood developmentdirectorate took its Give Responsibly cam-paign to the streets last Friday.

Councillors and officials from the direct-orate were stationed at 17 intersections inDurbanville,Bellville,Goodwood,KuilsRiv-er, Parow, Athlone, Mitchell’s Plain, Ottery,Diep River, Grassy Park, Somerset West,Strand, Gordon’s Bay, Wynberg, Lans-downe, Table View and the Cape Town CBD,armed with posters highlighting the impor-tance of not giving hand-outs to street peo-ple.

Some of the slogans used to drive the mes-sage home included: “Hand-outs are not gen-erous, they are harmful”; “By giving hand-outs, you are perpetuating a cycle of pover-ty”; “Your money is supporting a drugdealer”; “Change is about more than a fewcoins”; and “Begging handicaps my future”.“We opted for this activation to create

awareness about the fact that street cornerhand-outs are doing little else other thanperpetuating the cycle of dependence andkeeping people on the streets,” said SuzetteLittle, the City’s mayco member for socialdevelopment and early childhood develop-ment.

“The public has a shared responsibilityfor the well-being of street people. We mustunderstand that there is a very good chancethat theR2 orR5 handed over at the intersec-tion is feeding a habit instead of the individ-ual.

“So let’s change tack andmove away fromthe instant gratification that a monetary do-nation provides. My appeal to the public isto find out where their nearest shelter or or-ganisation working with street people is,and liaise with them about how to make areal difference, whether it be donatingclothes or other goods, or even volunteer-ing,” Little said.

The City introduced its Give Responsiblycampaign in 2010, aimed at encouraging thepublic to support the homeless by makingdonations to registered organisations in-stead of individuals, thus breaking the cycleof dependence that keeps them on the street.In addition, the City has formulated a

street people policy and implementedanum-ber of interventions as part of its street peo-ple programme. The budget for this pro-gramme has grown from R4,5 million in2013/14, to R7,8 million in 2014/15, to

R9,7 million in 2015/16 – an increase of morethan 100%.

“The City has made great strides in its ef-forts to tackle homelessness. Our fieldwork-ers engage with street people on a daily ba-sis, offering them access to a range of servi-ces including returning home if possible.“On the otherhand,wehave structures set

up within communities to prevent othersfrom migrating to the streets. However,we’ve seen that many street people refuseour offers of assistance and I’m not sur-

prised.“Why leave the streets when do-gooders

dish out donations for very little in return?If we are ever going to make a real dent inreducing the number of people living on ourstreets and offer them a better life, we needtomove away from the culture of indiscrimi-nate giving. Give a hand up rather than ahand-out,” Little said.V The City encourages members of the public to con-tact its toll-free number on 0800 872 201 for moreinformation on how they can give responsibly.

CouncillorsPhindile Maxiti(background),chairperson ofthe City’shomeless agencycommittee, andPhilisa Marmanparticipated in aGive Responsiblyawareness drivein Cape Townlast Friday.

With the turn of the weather, more people are coming outof the winter slump in celebration of just about every-thing.September is not only the month we celebrate Heritage

Day, but also the month we celebrate many days andweeks in recognition of health and well-being.The month plays host to awareness of Albinism, Bone

Marrow Stem Cell Donation and Leukaemia, CervicalCancer, Childhood Cancer, Eye Care, Muscular Dystro-phy and Oral Health. It is also National Heart AwarenessMonth and the National Month of Deaf People.While Headache and Migraine, Pharmacy, Kidney and

Back Awareness celebrate weeks, some conditions, suchas Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, International Gynaecologi-cal Health, World Suicide Prevention, National OralHealth and National Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Dis-order (ADHD) also have special days dedicated to them.The question we should be asking ourselves is “is it

enough to only pay attention to our bodies once a year?”The awareness programmes do their job – bringing rec-

ognition to these sometimes overlooked disorders and ill-nesses. It forces some people to take tests and pay a littlemore attention to their health, or to donate to a worthycause. But is enough being done to leave a lasting impres-sion on us?What will it take to get us to sit up and listen?Will we only act when it affects us?Reality is that we should be looking after our oral

health, our hearts, our eyes and our bodies in general.Many serious ailments can be cured if caught early and

inmost cases prevention is key. Is it not thenworthknow-ing that everything is running in tip top shape?Experts recommend a visit to your doctor at least once

a year, but most people just don’t bother.In the end, health officials will talk and promote taking

care of yourself, but taking action is up to you.

Women’s important roleOne must recognise the role and thevalue added by civil society organisa-tions to bring about a change in ourcommunities. I would like to highlight,that the role of women cannot be underestimated or undervalued in civil societythese days. The value added by women,especially women in leadership in oursociety, is vital to any community inaddressing social challenges. I think thatin many organisations, it’s women whoare instrumental in leading towardschanging organisations who are strug-gling to achieve its development objec-tives. I have seen over the years in ourcommunities, especially on the CapeFlats, it’s the women who attend com-munity meetings, it’s women who attendschool meetings these days. Believe it ornot it is the women who are leadingchange and in reality it’s the womanwho leads the fight against crime. Checkthe number of women in our neighbour-hood watches, our CPF police structuresserving the community, even in ourchurches, faith groups; it’s women

leading for change, and one wonderswhat happened to the men.I wrote to some women in our commu-

nity who are already in leadership rolesat their various community organisa-tions, appealing and urging asking themto consider playing an active role insport development.I don’t have to remind the sports

leaders that the current role of womenin politics, and in other sports wheretheir experience add value and wheretheir presence change the landscapeseven in our current and young democra-cy. Whether we like it or not women aremaking a vast difference on the politicalscene, so much so there’s a call for thepresident of South Africa to be a wom-an. Women are making their voicesheard on all fronts adding value to abetter society, a better South Africa. Incommunities and on grassroots level, thepresence of women in sports help withthe self-confidence of men and childrenin sport. Ask any youth manager on aSaturday morning about the voices and

cries of women, mostly “mommies”along the touchlines cheering theirchildren on. Every touch is cheered andevery run is motivated to the very end.This is the kind of self-motivation andconfidence which women bring to thesport.Women are our most dominant social

activist in our communities as well asour churches. They are the leaders whenit comes to self-empowerment opportuni-ties. Their ability to lead and theirability to govern our locally basedstructures should be noted.We should be open for partnership on

all level of leadership structures. Weneed to involve men and women jointlyworking together chairing our communi-ty structures, this will enhance ourmodel leadership.I would like to appeal to all women

who are able and trust in their ability togo out there in your communities andlead for change.

WALTER DANIELSBokmakierie

Don’t turn blind eye to needyI feel so sad when people say “Please,not in my nice neighbourhood. Movethese homeless people!”I feel so sad when people who have

had all the privileges of a good educa-tion, as well as the opportunity for workand can therefore pay taxes, feel thatthey have rights that others don’t have.I feel so sad that in a country where

seventy nine percent of the populationclaims to be Christian, we don’t followJesus’ teaching to care for the thirstyand hungry, or the stranger, for thesick, the poor and vulnerable in oursociety. (Matthew 25: 35 – 40)I feel so sad because the biblical story

of Ruth shows how we should reach outto the vulnerable in our society bygiving a hand up rather than a hand-out.As a society we can make a difference

by working with organisations already

working with the homeless.U-turn is one such organisation

working in the Wynberg, Kenilworth,and Claremont areas.Rather than handing out small change

to those begging on the streets or tothose who come to our homes, weencourage people to give one of theU-turn vouchers. A voucher allows themto get a meal or some secondhandclothing at The Powerhouse, which isjust behind Stadium on Main in Clare-mont. U-turn also runs clothing stores,where good quality clothes can bepurchased by the public. By purchasingclothes in these stores, you help financethe work, as well as create trainingopportunities for those who want tomove off the streets and get back intothe workplace.

The journey from a backyardshack in Hanover Park to posi-

tive empowerment starts with thatfirstmile youwalk to your dreams.That is the story in Many Miles

- a Life Story by Bellville residentIvan Koopman who launched hisdebut book at the Huguenot Li-brary in Belhar recently.Currently a lifeskills and youth

development facilitator for a pro-gramme at Learning Cape Initia-tive Koopman’s journey startedwhen he had to leave school at 14to work as tea boy and generalcleaner at thePostOffice to eventu-

ally becoming the medical manag-er at a major construction site inDubai.“Leaving school at that age was

heartbreaking,” he said at thelaunch.“But, it had tobedone for the sur-

vival of our family and I somehowknew that it would not be the endfor me because I had faith in God’splans for me.“I walked in my bare feet along

the main road to Cape Town goinginto shops to ask for work becauseitwasneeded. People thought Iwasjoking but I had to do it.”Koopman added that while the

book was a celebration of his tri-umph he also wanted it to be an in-

spiration to people who may havecome from similar situations, orwhomay still be in such situations,to never give up on their dreams.“You must always believe that

through God’s love for you there isa positive plan for you and youmust believe in that plan for you.“This book is there to motivate

our youth who are in situationswhere they are surrounded by somuch negativity,”says Koopman.Before working as the medical

manager in Dubai, Koopmanworked at the Metro AmbulanceService from 1981 to 1998 and thenat St John Ambulance.V Contact Ivan on 083 777 6580 or [email protected].

CONSTANTIA PRIME EXCLUSIVE MULTI-LEVEL HOME ON 4400M2

The explosive growth of moun-tain biking as a school sportwas once again highlighted

this weekend during the WesternCape finals of the Spur SchoolsMountain Bike League.

Showing an impressive increasein both participating schools andriders, more than 1000 riders repre-senting 60 schools battled it outthis season for the top spot on thelog and a place in the upcoming na-tional championships.

Stellenbosch-based Paul RoosGymnasium has once again showntheir supremacy by staying unde-feated at the top of the men’s logsince the inception of the league in2009 with 1 422 points, which alsosecured them overall second posi-tion. Parel Vallei from SomersetWest won the mixed team categorylogging an impressive 1 841 points,followed by Bellville’s DF Malan insecond place with 1 132 points.Mountainbiking has also in-creased its traction in the BreedeRiver area with Montana HighSchool from Worcester finishingthird with 1 086 points and Drostdyqualifying for the finals for thefirst time.

In addition the individual cate-gory winners also qualify for a spotin the finals. They include juniorboys champion, Daniel van derWalt of Fairmont High School; Alli-

son Morton of Westerford HighSchool who was undefeated in theyouth women category and teammate Courteney Webb who fin-ished top of the log in the juniorwomen category.

League organiser MeurantBotha of Amarider said that the or-ganic growth of the league hasproven that mountain biking car-ries huge appeal amongst youngercycling enthusiasts.

“It is an extremely encouragingsign for mountain biking as a sportdiscipline to see the enthusiasmwith which the South Africanyouth have embraced this exhila-rating sport. It is also promising tonote the significant increase in fe-male riders. Although primaryschools cannot yet qualify for theleague finals, it augers well for thesport that even our younger popu-lation segment are taking to thetracks,” said Botha.

The commitment from topranked schools such as Parel Val-lei, Paul Roos and DF Malan is agood indication that mountain bik-ing is on the fast track to becomingan officially recognised schoolssport discipline.

In order to make the league evenmore accessible to riders, the sen-ior (high school) categories weremoved to later time slots allowingfor those that participate in main-

stream school sports to fulfil theirschool commitments.

According to Botha, another ma-jor development since the incep-tion on the league is the shift to rac-ing on school grounds. “Develop-ing these tracks at schools not onlybrings the racing to the kids, butmore importantly places the sportright in the middle of the tradition-al and mainstream field and courtsports. This gives mountain bikinggreater exposure, relevance andcredibility.

The league will culminate withthe Spur Schools Mountain BikeLeague National Finals in October,when MTB fans from across Sub-Saharan Africa, including SouthAfrica and neighbours Zimbabweand Namibia will congregate atBekker School in Magaliesberg tocompete as schools as well as prov-inces for the coveted Spur SchoolsMTB League trophy and top spoton the provincial log.V For further information, follow them on@SpurMTBleague, log on to SpurSchool-sLeague on Facebook or visitwww.spurmtbleague.co.za.

Local schools shine at MTB finals

Courtney Webb of Westerford HighSchool finished first in the juniorwomen category in the final seriesof races in the Spur Schools MTBLeague.

In last week’s edition of the People’sPost (15 September), a photo of theu.19A-team of Rustenburg Girls HighSchool at the WP schools netball fi-nals at Bellville High School was pub-lished.

The caption read that they losttheir semi-final against StellenbergHigh School’s u.19B-team, when infact they beat them 22-13. Rustenburgwent on to play in the final, wherethey beat The Settlers High School14-11. People’s Post apologises forpublishing the incorrect informa-tion.

The annual Cape Town marathon tookplace under uncharacteristically mug-gy conditions in Green Point over the

weekend.Local athletes, William Kaptein and Lebo

Dinah Phalula outclassed a quality field towin the men’s and women’s titles in the10 km run/walk on Sunday.While the endurance stars were battling

it out for the 42 km title, the speedstersshowed their class in a highly competitiverace over the shorter distance.Kaptein charged to victory in 28:34, with

Elroy Gelant taking second place in 34:10and Abed Nico Mashaba finishing third in34:20.In the women’s race, Phalula earned a

well-deserved win in 34:12, crossing the line

16 seconds ahead of Mapaseka Makhanya.“The 10 km distance is ideal for younger

athletes who are still building towards themarathon, and it is perfect for amateur run-ners who are not yet ready to tackle the clas-sic distance, so it plays an important role aspart of the Cape Town Marathon,” saidElana Meyer who is an ambassador for therace.“With road running experiencing another

boom in South Africa, we expect the 10 kmdistance to continue to grow in popularityin the years to come.”Meanwhile, in the main event, the 42 km

race, Shadrack Kemboi from Kenya provedto be the strongest athlete on the day, defy-ing weather conditions to notch up a win inthe men’s race.

Despite the dominance shown by the EastAfricans, there was a strong South Afrcancharge as Lungile Gongqa finished secondand Michael Mazibuko finished third.AnotherKenyan, IsabellaOchichi, earned

a superb victory in the women’s race.With humidity at between 70% and 80%,

the East African winners battled somewhat,while theSouthAfricans took full advantageof the overcast weather, putting in an excel-lent performance behind their internationalcounterparts.Kemboi crossed the finish line in 2:11:41,

with Gongqa taking second place in 2:11:59andMazibuko grabbing the final spot on themen’s podium in 2:12:29.Ochichi romped to victory in the women’s

division in 2:30:20, while Eunice Chumba

from Bahrain finished second in 2:33:12 andKenya’s Joan Rotich third in a time of2:37:45.“I always wanted amarathon victory, and

I believe that it would come inHonolulu, Ha-waii in 2014, but I got it today on my homecontinent – Africa – and I couldn’t be happi-er,” said Ochichi.The 42 km race boasted a large field of

5 728 participants in only its second year, inwhich it is aiming to achieve the IAAF’s cov-eted Gold Label status. A total of 4.5% of en-trieswere fromoutside of SouthAfrica,with51 countries represented at the race. Sixty-two entrants came from the USA, 21 fromGermany, 20 from theUK, followed by small-er numbers from Sweden, Kenya, Canada,Ethiopia, Namibia, Zambia and Japan.
