CHARITY

Dress up for a good causeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

It’s that time of the year when women andgirls kick off their boots, get out the ra-zors, warm up the wax and find a new col-

our to brighten up their toe nails.Yes, summer is here and soon we will see

women across Cape Town show off the legsthey have been hiding all winter by wearingtheir favourite dressesSomewill go for short and tight, while oth-

erswill opt for the skater dresseswhich com-plementmost body types. Still others will gofor a fuller length maxi-style dresses.Whatever your preference, a dress is the

one clothing item that helps women cele-brate their femininity.This year a local NPO is calling on Cape

Town women to wear dresses for a goodcause.MilkMatters, situated atMowbrayMater-

nity Hospital, has launched their Dressesfor Lives campaign where women get theirfriends, family and colleagues to pledge do-nations for each day they wear a dress.

HistoryAccording to their website, Milk Matters

was formed in 2003 by a group of lactationconsultants and two mothers.The group was inspired by the Ithemba

Lethu Breastmilk Bank in Durban and iden-tified a similarneed inCapeTown toprovidebreastmilk to infants who had been aban-doned or orphaned as a result of their moth-ers suffering from HIV or Aids.They have three in-house milk banks at

various hospitals.

CampaignCoordinator Jenny Wright explains the

idea originated from one of their supporterswho decided she wanted to raise awarenessand funds and asked friends and family tosponsor her for each day she wore a dressin December.“She raised sufficient funding to enable us

to go ahead with redeveloping our website,a project that is nearing completion,”Wright says.This year she approached the organisa-

tion and challenged staff to join her.After gaining support, the team thenopted

to invite breastmilk donors and other sup-porters to participate by either wearingdresses too and getting sponsors or by spon-soring a woman of the Milk Matters team.

NameWright says the team thought long and

hard about aname to describe the campaign.“We wanted the name to capture what we

are doing.We arewearing dresses so that ul-timately more premature babies who weighless than 1.5kg can have access to donorbreastmilk, which can undoubtedly be life-saving for them,” she says.By wearing dresses the organisation

hopes to raise funds for the breastmilk bank,as well as awareness to get more mothers todonate milk.Wright says just 50ml of breastmilk can

feed a baby of less then 1.5kg for 24 hoursand it can save their life in those first criticalfew weeks if their own mother is unable toprovide the breastmilk they need.

Signing upWright says women wanting to partici-

pate are required to sign up with the organi-sation and gather support from theirfriends. For each day they wear a dress forthe month of December, their friends agree

to make a donation tothe organisation.The campaign also

appeals to men to as-sist who can helpfund a staff member,friend or relative par-ticipating.Wright explains

once the final total israised they will as-sesswhat themost ur-gent needs are andwhere the money canbe used to make thebiggest impact.“Someof themoney

will be used for publicawareness materials,as without things likeposters and pam-phlets mothers willnot know they can do-nate their milk andwewouldnot have do-nor breastmilk forthe babies,” she says.Wright further

adds that the organi-sation is in need ofnew freezers.“With a caring, in-

volved community, 31days, a few dresses–and just think of theimpact we can have –donor breastmilk isgoing to more of ourmost vulnerable pre-mature babies with the life-saving benefitsit brings.Helpus givehopeand life to prema-ture babies when there might otherwise

have been none”.V For more information phone 082 895 8004 or [email protected]

SIMON’S TOWN

MONIQUE DUVAL@monique_duval

Plans to elect a new Community PoliceForum (CPF) for Simon’s Town wasput on hold last week during a public

meeting.The meeting started with a report from

current CPF chairperson Aliet Ray-Peltwho explained during 2014 their plan wasto improve communication and ensure theCPF was available to residents.With this in mind, the CPF developed a

website, Facebook page, Twitter accountand newsletter which keeps residents up todate on what is happening in the precinct,which includes Glencairn, Scarborough,Murdoch Valley, Froggy Farm and manyothers.Ray-Pelt also said a project to ensure the

safety of motorists at Seaforth and ColePoint parking areas was working well.Here the CPF have a group of car guards

who are registered with the organisationand who wear official bibs.“This has gone a long way to ensuring lo-

cals and visitors feel safe when parkingtheir vehicles,” she said.Ray-Pelt said the relationships with po-

lice and City of Cape Town councillors hadassisted them throughout the year.“The relationship with police is excellent

and we really take our hats off to them. Tocouncillors Simon Liell-Cock and PatriciaFrancke, thank you for your support andthanks for always attending our meetingsand assisting where you can,” she said.In a report from Simon’s Town police, as-

saults, drugs, robberies and theft out of mo-tor vehicles were raised as the main con-cerns.Station commander Captain Jacqui

Johnson outlined the arrests made duringOctober.In this time the station had doubled the

number of drug arrests to 32. Police arrest-ed, among others, seven people for housebreak-ins, three for theft of motor vehiclesand two for possession of abalone.Johnson said, with the help of the CPF

and neighbourhood watches, police had avery good year.She thanked those involved for their ef-

forts and emphasised the importance ofcommunity organisations in the fightagainst crime.Speaking during the public meeting,

Etienne Swain, an official from the Depart-ment of Community Safety (Docs), in-formed those present that not enough or-ganisations had registered and the elec-tions could not continue.“Out of 45 organisations on the database,

we need 23 to be registered. We only have11,” he explained.Current CPF chairperson Aliet Ray-Pelt

suggested the election be postponed to Jan-uary as the festive season was around thecorner and they could not ensure all organi-sations would attend a meeting in Decem-

ber.In the interim she suggested the current

CPF operate as “acting CPF” until the nextelection.This suggestion was welcomed by the or-

ganisations and the meeting was closed.

More on E.coli reportsRecent reports about E.coli at False Baybeaches lack context.This is according to City of Cape Town

Mayoral Committee member for HealthBenedicta van Minnen.In a statement last week, VanMinnen ex-

plained the City grappled with challengesaround pollution and illegal dumping.“A number of recent media reports have

further amplified the issue without neces-sarily presenting the full picture,” she says.The City does not testmarine species, but

it has an extensive water sampling pro-gramme in place to monitor and managethe water quality in the stormwater net-work, which includes river systems andvleis as well as coastal waters, in accord-ance with national legislation.VanMinnen explains treated effluent en-

tering the river systems from wastewatertreatment works is sampled on weekly,while the quality of inland and coastal wa-ters is monitored every second week.She further explains the appropriate

manner of testing is to weigh each singlesample result against a number of fort-nightly samples collected over a period of

three months.“A single sample result does not provide

adequate information to draw any specificconclusions about water quality trends.”VanMinnen says sample sites along both

the False Bay and Atlantic coastlines havebeen established and are determined bypopular bathing beaches and the vicinity ofstormwater discharges and rivermouths toascertain the impact that these have on sea-water quality.“The water quality is well within allowa-

CRIME

Leaders electedMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Amid fears about shootings, domesticviolence and drug abuse, a new groupof crimefighters from Kommetjie,

Ocean View and Masiphumelele are shin-ing a ray of hope in the Ocean View policeprecinct.After several resignations and three

failed attempts, a new Community PoliceForum (CPF) has been elected for the pre-cinct. The new group is expected to standfor the next five years.The election took place at theOceanView

Civic Centre last week during which outgo-ing acting chairperson Tsepho Moletsanepainted a bleak picture of the crime situa-tion in the precinct.He explained over the past two years

there had been several resignations fromthe body including former chairperson Jo-hann Kikillus.“Johann received threatening messages

because of the good work he was doing inthe community. Others resigned due to oth-er commitments,” he explained.Moletsane urged strong leaders to come

forward and participate in the electionsand said many issues needed to be ad-dressed. Most importantly, Moletsane said,being the population figures for the threecommunities and the allocation of police re-sources. He also said neighbourhoodwatches need to be revived and followinga spate of shootings,Moletsane added crim-inals needed to be disarmed.Addressing the meeting, acting station

commander Captain Monty MacKinnonsaid the station had suffered several lossesfollowing the resignation of two captains aswell as other officers.He further explained the station had

many challenges but with the election of anew CPF, he is positive they could turn itaround.MacKinnon said in the last quarter there

had been a decrease in thefts but raised thealarmabout the number of cases for assaultwith intent to inflict grievous bodily harm.“These are potential murder cases and

they are a big concern,” he said.He also explained robberies with fire-

arms and murders as a priority for police.Justin Lottering from the Department of

Community Safety (Docs) kicked off theelections with an apology.During the year, three attempts were

made to elect a new body but due to the ab-sence of Docs officials thiswas not possible.In the last meeting, Member of ParliamentMark Wiley said the performance of Docsofficials was embarrassing and called foran investigation (“CPF elections underspotlight”, People’s Post, 18 November).According to Lottering, several CPF elec-

tions were held in November and the de-partment did not have enough staff.“Wemet with representatives the day be-

fore and realised the CPF and police werenot aware they had not signed the paper-work off and the elections could not contin-ue. So we went to a different meeting,” hesaid.Those eligible to vote were moved to one

side of the room and the elections com-menced.Kathy Cronje was voted in as chairper-

son and Moletsane was elected deputychairperson.Closing the meeting, Cronje said she was

grateful to be elected and pleased with thenew team.V What do you think the new CPF should focus on?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughts to32516. SMSes cost R1.

OCEAN VIEW

MONIQUE DUVAL@monique_duval

Street parties in Ocean View couldcome to an abrupt end.

Authorities have sent a clear warn-ing to residents to refrain from hosting un-authorised street bashes.

Proportional councillor Patricia Franckesays noise complaints have been steadilyincreasing in the last few weeks.

This, she says, is a result of various par-ties over weekends where residents putspeakers on pavements and play amplifiedmusic while dancing and getting drunk.

She explains she, along with Ocean Viewpolice and Metro Police, has been called inthe early hours of the morning to pull theplug on all night parties.

Francke says the parties are not restrict-ed to private residences but also take partin the courtyards of rental flats owned bythe City of Cape Town.

“The problem is the parties spill onto thestreet and cause a disturbance to the neigh-bours. In addition as the noise travels sur-rounding communities like Imhoff are bad-ly affected,” she says.

Francke warns that in terms of theStreets, Public Places and the Prevention ofNoise Nuisances Bylaw, residents who hostthese parties are breaking the law and runthe risk of having their sound equipmentconfiscated.

City Safety and Security director RichardBosman says Metro Police have been calledout 11 times in the past 12 months and haveissued six compliance notices.

Francke says the parties are having anegative effect on elderly residents. “Manyof them can’t sleep but live in fear of theyoungsters throwing these parties. The by-

law is there to protect the quality of life ofall residents and the elderly need to knowabout this law and understand theirrights,” she says.

Bosman says in many instances compli-ance notices are not issued because com-plainants are intimidated and refuse to givestatements. “Verbal warnings are given insuch instances. Statements are also re-quired for the issuing of fines and sum-monses if the offence is not committed inthe presence of the officer who is investigat-ing the complaint,” he explains.

Ocean View Police Station commanderLieutenant-Colonel Jakobus Augus saysthe consumption of alcohol in the court-yards of council flats is a tricky issue.

He says as many of the flats are open andnot fenced there is no indication of theboundary. While some may think the court-yards are public space, he says, they are al-so the only space around the flats that resi-dents have.

Alcohol consumption on pavements andin the streets, Augus says, is illegal. “If itis a private house and people are drinkinginside the fence, nothing will happen butwhen it is on the streets, we can and willtake action,” he says.

Commenting on recent assault cases, hesays, police have found parties were oftenthe source. “We have found that argumentsbreak out at these parties but there aren’tusually fights. A few days later when every-one is sober and the one sees the other onea fight starts and this results in charges be-ing laid at the police station,” he explains.V To report illegal parties call Law Enforcement on(021) 784 2033 between 08:00 and 16:30. For par-ties taking place after hours call Ocean View PoliceStation on (021) 783 4130 or the Law Enforcementcall centre on (021) 596 1999.

Warm sun on your shoulders, soft sand betweenyour toes.Summer is here. Andwith it, long days relaxing

at the beach.But this, for many, includes a cold beer (or several) de-

spite law prohibiting alcohol on beaches.Over the weekend, the City of Cape Town’s Law En-

forcement Department confiscatedmore than 150l of alco-hol from the various beaches and issuedmore than a doz-en alcohol-related fines.In terms of the City’s bylaws, possession and consump-

tion of liquor in beach areas is prohibited. Any offendersare liable to have their alcohol confiscated and be issuedwith a R500 fine as well as a written notice to appear incourt.This is little deterrent formany, with officers confiscat-

ing over 8 000l of alcohol from beaches across the metrolast year.This culture of drinking has deep roots in the Cape.The dop system, introduced after the abolishment of

slavery, allowed a farmer to pay his employees with alco-hol instead of wages. We put ourselves and our familiesat risk through high alcohol consumption.More than threemillion people died from using alcohol

in 2012, the World Health Organisation has said.The study found South Africans consume, on average,

over 8l of pure alcohol every year. However, a large por-tion of alcohol consumption is unreported, which meansthis average could be as high as 11l.For our drinking patterns, on a scale of one to five –

with five representingmost risky– South Africans scoreda four.And despite the best efforts of lifeguards, every year we

lose loved ones on the city’s beaches.Many of these deaths could have been avoided if the al-

cohol had been left at home.Perhaps it’s time we started guarding our own lives,

starting with corking the wine.

Traffic circles the way to goThe article “Coping with traffic blues” (Peo-ple’s Post, 25 November) refers.I have written letters to councillors with-

out response, with regard to the high rate ofaccidents (200 a year) many fatal, at the in-tersection of OuKaapseWeg andKommetjieRoad.I contend that traffic lights at this very

busy intersection is only exacerbating theproblem, and that the location of a rounda-bout insteadwould cut the accidents to a fewbumper bashings rather than the horren-dous accidents and deaths that occur thereregularly. [These are] caused by and largeby people trying to beat the yellow light athigh speed and collidingwith others endeav-ouring to cross their path.Europe abandoned traffic lights in favour

of roundabouts 30 years ago,mainly in coun-try areas where space to build them was notat a premium.Roundabouts have the following advan-

tages over our obsession with traffic lights:There is no capital cost for traffic lights;No need for maintenance;And no need for electricity to run them;Roundabouts do not stop traffic; they al-

low traffic to flow at all times and there isno stopping.

They slow traffic down and thereby pre-vent “traffic light jumping”One cannot rushthrough a roundabout, and have been exten-sively used in preference to road bumps astraffic calmers near schools and in residen-tial areas in Johannesburg for many yearsnow with great success.They cater for heavy traffic flows in both

directions at different times, keeping thetraffic buildup moving continuously.The Kommetjie/Ou Kaapse Weg intersec-

tion has ample space to build a three-laneroundabout with the four lead offs.I have seen the amazing difference in Eng-

land where traffic lights have been replacedwith roundabouts, having used both sys-tems over many years driving on their con-gested narrow country roads.Europe would not have made the change

so longagowere it not for the fact that round-abouts are the solution to heavy traffic con-gestion.I`m at a loss to understand why we insist

onusing traffic lightswhen there is a provenbetter alternative that will save many lives.And why does someone not investigate theconcept.KEN ENSOR-SMITH,Email

Dry woodcreatesa fire riskFirst of all a big ‘thank you’ to all thebrave firefighters battling with thefire and the wind even during thenight time.But maybe it is the right time now

to criticise the troops cutting the al-iens in the mountain.These guys cut the aliens and leave

the cut off branches in the mountain.That is the real problem the fire-

fighters have to battle with.If you have a look up the hill there

are bunches of drywood all over creat-ing a real hazard.Why is it not possible to remove the

leftover or cut them into small piecesand pile them up together so that theycan rot?Then the firefighters wouldn’t have

those big problems and it would costmuch less to extinguish a fire.AXEL ZIMMERMAN,Email

Enforce the lawon beachesIn reference to the problems with dogs onbeaches (“New leashes for animals”, Peo-ple’s Post, 25 November) if there are no lawenforcement officers continually patrollingthe Muizenberg beaches and issuing heftyfines to offenders then it doesn’t matter howmany signs are erected showing the restric-tions on dogs.It is ludicrous that dogs are allowed at any

time on the popularMuizenberg beaches be-tween 1 December and 31 March.The present restrictions of no dogs be-

tween 09:00 and 18:00 used to apply from 1November to 30 April but to save money thecouncil shortened the seasonby twomonths.April –when thewindhas abated – is often

the busiest time on False Bay beaches.PD FERRY,Marina Da Gama

Progress on plans for stationMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

A public participation process on plansto demolish the seaside platform atClovelly station has commenced.

Works at the station form part of theMain Road rehabilitation programme.

According to a notice from Chand Envi-ronmental Consultants issued last week,the City has made an application to the pro-vincial Department of Environmental Af-fairs and Development Planning for per-mission to demolish the platform.

The City has already obtained permis-sion to demolish the platform on the moun-tain side of the station which forms part ofconditions stipulated by the Passenger RailAgency of South Africa (Prasa).

According to the notice, the City plans todemolish the existing platform surface andadjacent brick wall and use the material toinfill the existing cavity of the platform.

In addition they plan to replace the plat-form surface with a new concrete surface.

“Requests for the removal of the derelictplatform have also been made by the publicat previous Community Liaison Meetingsheld as part of the Public Information Proc-ess for the Main Road Rehabilitationproject due to the structure’s use by va-grants and the disfigurement it contributesto the coastal environment,” the notice fur-ther states.

Asked whether the demolition of thisplatform was necessary for the construc-tion of the retaining wall which forms partof the project, City of Cape Town MayoralCommittee member for Transport, BrettHerron, said: “There is no physical reasonwhy the seaside platform must be demol-ished.”

He explained due to its location on theother side of the railway line, the platformis not needed but was a condition by Prasa.

Herron says they are undertaking a BasicAssessment Report (BAR) which is a small-er scale activity, the impact of which is gen-erally known and can be easily managed.

The estimated cost of the BAR is R108 000.He further says the process takes approx-

imately 10 months and commenced twomonths ago.

“The programme for the BAR process in-dicates that the report should be submittedto the department in the second week ofMarch 2015. “It is therefore hoped that envi-ronmental approval will be given by mid-July 2015,” Herron adds.

The notice also calls on residents and or-ganisations who would like to comment toregister as an interested and affected party.

The deadline for registration is Monday15 December.V To register contact (021) 762 3050 oremail [email protected]. You must provide your fullname, contact details and interest you have in theapplication.

Meyer is one top copMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Above and beyond.A phrase often used to describe people

who go the extra mile and do more thanis expected.

When it comes to Sergeant Clive Mey-er from Ocean View Police Station, thereis no other way to describe him.

Following reports about excellent per-formance from residents, People’s Posttried to find this officer.

Busy attending to complaints and as-sisting residents in Masiphumelele andOcean View, Meyer has little time to talkto the press.

During an anti-crime march inMasiphumelele, several police vehiclescould be seen making their way downPokela Road.

As residents gathered to voice theirconcerns and show criminals they werefed-up, Meyer could be seen providinghis support.

Speaking from his office, Meyer ex-plains he has been working at the stationfor 11 years.

Originally from Mitchell’s Plain, theyoung officer is the sector commanderfor Masiphumelele and Kommetjie.

This is the only station he has workedat and says he remembers the days when

“the grass was greener”.Meyer is focused on building strong

relationships with communities and be-lieves this is an essential tool for thefight against crime.

“There are many issues but I believeif we work together we can turn themaround,” he says.

Asked what his main concerns were,Meyer responds: “Shootings.”

He explains when shootings occur it isoften hard to get information from resi-dents.

“People do not want to speak but theyoften know who the perpetrators are. Weneed people to come forward and starttalking. Its the only way to ensure theseguys are put behind bars,” he says.

In addition, Meyer explains, residentsoften contaminate crime scenes by walk-ing through them.

This, he points out, doesn’t help.Passionate about neighbourhood

watches, Meyer believes they need to berevived.

“There are many people who havecome forward with information and weare very grateful. I am positive we canchange things if we work together,” hesays.V If you have crime concerns in Masiphumeleleand Kommetjie, call Meyer on 082 522 2618, andfor Ocean View call 079 893 9823.

Cape Flats storiesThe Castle of Good Hope buzzed with ex-

citement at the weekend for the open-ing of Cape Flats Stories: The Voice of

Youth exhibition.SalesianLifeChoices, inpartnershipwith

People’s Post and the Castle of Good Hope,have come together to host the exhibition.The theme centres on the experiences ofyouth, expressed through images and text.Life Choices is a non-profit organisation

working in Cape Flats communities. The or-ganisation is founded on the belief that once-off interventions are not enough to trans-form a young person’s life.With this in mind Life Choices provides

comprehensive services in family stability,health, education and leadership. LifeChoices believes these four building blocksare critical for youth to thrive.As part of theirwork, Life Choices encour-

ages youth to express their views through avariety of mediums. Based on the artworkdeveloped by youth this year, People’s Postand the Castle of Good Hope invited LifeChoices to develop an exhibition that high-lighted their beneficiaries’ work.The exhibition will run until Friday 30

January and is open from 08:00 to 16:00 eachday.V For more information visit www.lifechoices.co.za

PUBLIC SAFETY

CalmwatersaheadOver 250 trained and accredited

lifeguards will be deployed tovarious beaches between 10:00

and 18:00 daily during the festive sea-son.

This service will be boosted by life-saving clubs on some beaches, Life-saving Western Province’s volun-teer services and the National SeaRescue Institute.

In addition, there will be 218 life-guards on duty who will oversee theCity’s 36 public swimming poolsover the peak holiday season, saysCity of Cape Town Mayoral Commit-tee member for Community Servicesand Special Projects Belinda Walker.

“We want to emphasise that safetyis a shared responsibility betweenthe City and our beachgoers and poolusers. While the City does providelifeguards in conjunction with ourpartners, this service does not existto take the place of a parent or guard-ian’s supervision of children,” shesays.

Beachgoers should swim only indesignated swimming areas indicat-ed by flags and only where lifeguardsare on duty.

“There are also law enforcementofficers patrolling beaches to assistin ensuring that people swim only indesignated areas. We ask that all peo-ple respect the instructions of bothlifeguards and law enforcement of-ficers and also report any irresponsi-ble behaviour in the water, such aspeople swimming off the rocks, sothat they can preemptively keep peo-ple safe,” she says.

Beachgoers are encouraged toswim only where there are life-guards and where signs indicate thatit is safe to do so.

Only swim in areas where otherpeople are present. Swim in groupsand advise friends or family whenyou go swimming. Do not swim whenthere are marine animals such aswhales, dolphins and seals in the ar-ea or when a marine animal carcasshas washed up onto the beach.

If you find yourself in trouble,raise your arm and wave to attractthe lifeguard’s attention.

Try not to panic, as this will makeyou tired.

If you see someone in trouble inthe sea, alert the lifeguards or findtrained help. Do not put your ownlife in danger.

“Alcohol is one of the leading caus-es of drowning and is an issue of con-cern for the City,” Walker says.

“Every year the City’s law enforce-ment officers confiscate largeamounts of alcohol from our beach-es. However, the problem of peopleswimming while under the influenceof alcohol persists. This poses an ad-ditional risk to other swimmers andthose lifeguards tasked with ensur-ing their safety.

“We urge residents not to allowfamily members and friends to go in-to the water if they have consumedalcohol and to report any intoxicatedbeachgoers to the lifeguard or lawenforcement officer on duty.”

The Kinnes regain winning formSHIFAAN RYKLIEF

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

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

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

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

In the 20th minute, Fielies made a phe-nomenal run down the right side to surpasshis marker, before he played the ball into the

danger area which captain Nazier Jacobspicked up. Although Jacobs’ follow up shotwas eventually blocked by the Leopards de-fence.

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

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

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

The visitors started to play freely swaying

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

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

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

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

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

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