WARD FUNDS: ALLOCATION OF R200 000 EXTRA

Cashing in onbudget boostNADINE MOODIE

Residents are encouraged to draw up awish list of need and changes theywould like in their community.

The new financial year is looming andward councillor Matthew Kempthorne isurging residents to cash in on the increasedbudget.Kempthorne says the City of Cape Town

allocated each ward R700 000 to spend onprojects and services in their precinct.“In the past wards received R500 000, but

the sum has been increased to R700 000 forthe next financial year,” he says.“As ward councillor I’ve allocated

R300 000 for parks, R200 000 for roads, whichinclude Non-Motorised Transport (NMT)andR200 000 for LawEnforcement,” he says.“Law Enforcement is a new initiative

where additional officers will assist the po-lice in combating crime. These assistantswill concentrate on crimes which law en-forcement officers focus on,while police andMetro Police officers will deal with danger-ous criminals. This pilot projectwill bemon-itored and evaluated over the next year toascertain effectiveness and value.”Kempthorne says other planned projects

are to install new paths in Keurboom Park,upgrading Harfield Village parks and add-ing safety matting under the play equip-ment, as well as new irrigation systems.“TheNMT route needsmoremaintenance

and we will be looking at solving the prob-lem of the very dangerous pedestrian cross-ings on Keurboom and Durban roads,” hesays.Harfield Village Association chairperson

James Fernie says he’s seen some improve-ments in the community with roads whichhave been resurfaced. He alsomentions thatsome of the budget needs to be allocated tosolve traffic issues.“There are more businesses in the suburb

and this has increased the traffic aroundSecond Avenue,” he says.“The problem with the high flow of traffic

is people tend to park on both sides of theroad. The easiest solution would be to painta yellow line on one side of the road, whichwill prevent people from parking on bothsides of the road, and will make the journeymore pleasant for people entering and exit-ing the community.“For years residents have complained to

us about the traffic flow and I’ve spoken tothe City of Cape Town and the councillor onnumerous occasions, but nothing has beendone.“We’ve also offered to pay for a traffic as-

sessment, but that has also been refused.The councillor really needs to do somethingabout this.”Mowbray Ratepayers Association chair-

person Jonathan Hobday says R700 000 ishardly enough. His committee submittedtwo applications for issues they feel need tobe addressed in the precinct.“The precinct needs a pedestrian crossing

at Klipfontein and Sawkins roads to accom-modate people coming from Little Mow-bray,” he says.“The traffic moves fast at the intersection

and even though the City added a NMT lane,it still does not accommodate those on foot.“The horse fountain on the corner of Dur-

ban and Campground roads needs to be re-stored and shifted for 20 metres, because it’scurrently a traffic hazard.“The fountain has been on our wish list

for the last four years.”Rondebosch Community Improvement

District (RCID) manager Shirley Aldumsays they’ve decided to use allmoney and re-sources allocated and collected on camerasin the precinct. “The cameras have playeda large role in solving crimes which oc-curred in the community,” she says.“At the moment we have five and would

like to reach our target of 16 cameras. Wewill continue appealing to our residents andto the councillor to assist us with obtainingthis goal.”V Share your views. Starting with the word “Post” SMSyour comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

BIG READ: RAPE BY A FAMILY MEMBER ‘MORE COMMON THAN SOCIETY THINKS’

When Daddy’s love hurtsTAMMY PETERSEN

Thehands that held the seat as she learntto ride a bicycle belong to the same per-son who molested her for 13 years and

stabbed her with a screwdriver 17 times .Child rape perpetrated by a family mem-

ber is not as uncommon as people think, so-cial workers say.

A woman is raped every 48 seconds in SA,statistics say, and aworrying number of vic-tims are children who should be carefreeand forming bonds of trust with their prima-ry caregivers.

The scars covering Melissa’s body arenothing compared to the psychological dam-age.

At seven, when her father first touchedher she thought he was showing affection.

“Deep down I knewwhat hewas doingwaswrong, but I was just a child and he was myDaddy. He was my hero. Why would he doanything to hurt me?”

As the years progressed, so too did his ad-vances, but with more aggression.

“I had my first period when I was 11 andthis upset him – it’s like he never wantedmeto growup.The touching stopped soon there-after. I could finally relax.”

The calm lasted a year. On a warm day inMarch, she was watching TV. Her dad losthis job and was at home.

“Iwas stillwearingmyschool uniform.Hecame into my room and asked what I waswatching and how school was. Everythingwas normal.”

Minutes later, she says, “my life changed”.She heard him in the kitchen. “Out of no-

where he came bounding into my room andsmacked me across the face. I was stunned.He got on top of me and started choking me.Then the blows rained down. I was crying,but it was like he didn’t realise what he wasdoing.”

Exhausted from fightingback, she felt himrip off her school pants. “I wept like a babywhile he rapedme. It felt like I waswatchingthis happen to someone else.”

He left a tearful Melissa lying on the bed,wearing only her school shirt.

She screamed that she would tell hermother.

“I had never seen him so angry. He wentto the kitchen and returned with a screw-driver.”

He asked her to repeat what she’d said. “Idid, then I felt the first stab to my throat.”

The last words she heard before hestabbed her 16 more times were: “Now youwill never be able to say anything.”

In a semi-conscious state, Melissa lay ina pool of blood. “I rolled over and crawledto the front gate, but only managed to makeit out the front door. I heard people walkingby, but couldn’t call out to them. All I madewas gurgling sounds; I couldn’t breathe.”

A friend found her in the doorway andcalled her mother, who phoned for help.

She woke up in ICU two days later.Her fatherwas the first person tovisit. “He

said if I told anyone what had happened, hewould finish what he had started.”

He had told her mother he wasn’t home atthe time.

“My father told me to tell the police some-onehad broken inwhile Iwas home.He gaveme specific details, like the man had beenwearing a balaclava when he attacked meand I didn’t see his face. I was terrified andstuck to his story.”

At a check-up weeks later, she found shewas pregnant. “They told my parents theycould have the baby aborted, but my fatherrefused supposedly on moral grounds. Mymother didn’t want to keep it, but he insist-ed.”

She went into labour seven months later.She was 12.

“Natural things like breastfeeding over-whelmed me. I was a child; I was supposedto be playing with dolls, not looking after ababy.”

Hermother tookover the reins. “She treat-ed Janice like her own child. I was told fromthe beginning that Janice was now my sis-ter; only a few people knew the truth. Butthat was what my parents wanted and I hadto accept it.”

Life went back to normal as the family“swept everything under the carpet”.

“But things were never the same. I neverfelt comfortable at home. I wished schoolwould last forever; it was my safe haven. Iwished I wouldn’t have to go home. I hatedhearing the school bell ring – it meant I hadto go home.”

A year later, her father raped her again.“It became a regular thing; twice amonth,

when nobody was home. This time I didn’tfight back. I knew what would happen if Idid.”

A sense of betrayal, adding to the devasta-tion of rape, is one of the strongest emotionsexperienced by a victim who has been at-tacked by a family member, says KathleenDey, the director of the Rape Crisis CapeTown Trust.

“It inevitably breaks the alliance and trustwithin the family unit if the perpetrator isa relative. And while the family processesthe knowledge of the incident, it often hap-pens that, during the assigning of who is re-sponsible for causing the pain, the victim isblamed,” she says.

“Facing the reaction of your support sys-tem can be deeply hurtful once you take thatstep as the family might feel they need theperpetrator, especially if he is the breadwin-ner.”

Melissa relived thehorror for sevenyears.Then, a week before her 21st birthday, she

realised she couldn’t carry the burden anylonger.

“I realised it was never going to stop. I hada strange moment of clarity – things werenever going to change.

“My mother was cooking and I went tostandnext to her. I just blurted it out. I didn’tcry; I told her that her husband was my ba-by’s daddy. She was calm, she didn’t evenlook surprised. She just told me to take awalk, that she would speak to him.”

Her mother did and her response caughtMelissa off guard. “She said she told him tonever do it again. That was it; end of story.”

Shocked that her mother would chooseher husband over her daughter, Melissapacked her bags.

“Mybest friendhad toldmyauntwhat hadhappened and she told me to move in withher. I thought it was a new start for me, thatI would finally be able to breathe.”

But her ordeal was not over. “When therest of my family found out, their reactionsastonished me. My one aunt threatened myfather with an axe. His mother – my grand-mother – accused me of seducing him. Oth-ers chose not to speak about it,” she says.

A small, round scar is her constant re-

minder. Melissa has a strained relationshipwith her family and keeps her father atarms’ length.

“I didn’t lay charges against him becauseI don’twant Janice toknowhowshewas con-ceived. She grew up to be a normal, happyteenager. I want to keep it that way.”

The “hidden crime” of child rape has beengoing unpunished for decades, Cape TownChild Welfare chief executive Niresh Ramk-lass insists.

“It is a sad reality that most mothers ac-cuse and blame their own children ofwrong-doing when they speak out,” he says.

“They feel a stronger need to protect theirpartner than their offspring. Instead of be-ing an ally of their daughters, they are theprotectors of the perpetrators.”

Dozensof cases of sexually abusive step-fa-thers and even biological dads are under in-vestigation by welfare authorities.

But these incidents are usually reportedby third parties, such as school teachers.

Ramklass says rape can also be attributedto the alarming rate of child abandonment,as the mother has “no attachment to a childborn out of cruelty”.

The long-term effects of childhood traumaincludes psychiatric breakdowns, sub-stance abuse and a warped set of family val-ues. “Without intense therapy and interven-tion, the repercussions later in life are crip-pling.”

Other children are at great risk if paedo-philes are not brought to book, Ramklasssays.

“Warning, begging and threatening some-one to change will only make them suppresstheir urges. And if it doesn’t happen in yourline of sight anymore, look outside – some-one else’s child is probably the victim now.”

While Melissa never got justice, she urgesmothers to protect their children.

“Rapists aren’t (always) peoplewho followyou from train stations or grab you in darkalleys. Sometimes they are the people sittingopposite you at the dinner table.”V Contact Rape Crisis on (021) 447 9762 or email in-fo@rapecrisis.org.za.V Share your views by SMSing the word “Post” fol-lowed by your comment to 32516.

RISKY INTERSECTION: SPEEDING MOTORISTS IGNORE TRAFFIC LAW

Braking rules of the roadNADINE MOODIE

A southern suburbs intersection ispegged as a problem spot – motoristskeep disobeying the rules of the road.

Ward councillor Elizabeth Brunette saysshe’s worried about motorists disobeyingthe stop sign at the Southern Cross Drive,Parish Road andHerminaAvenue intersec-tion.“Motorists are using the stop sign as a

yield sign and can often be seen talking ontheir cellphones while driving,” she says.“The four-way stop at the intersection

was implemented some years ago, but mostmotorists did not slow down or stop at thesign, which resulted in regular accidents.“With the assistance of the City of Cape

Town’s roads department, I allocatedR80 000 frommybudget to improve the roadsafety at the intersection by building a

raised intersection inside the four-waystop.“The raised intersection is in the middle

of a residential suburb and most motoristsare still disobeying the stop sign,while talk-ing on their cellphones.“Most of the culprits are parents with

children in the car. This is real concern.There has been 13 fatalities in Constantiasince 2007, with some of them at this inter-section.”Resident Byron Messaris says both resi-

dents and minibus taxi drivers don’t stopat the stop sign.“It’s a very busy intersection, because

taxis use it to take passengers to Hout Bayand others use it to access the area,” hesays.“Both residents and taxis disobey the

rules at the intersection and I’ve seen mo-torists come close to road rage there.”

The City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Com-mittee member for Transport, Roads andStormwater Brett Herron says there are noplans to install traffic signals at the inter-section.“The City’s Department of Roads and In-

frastructure recently raised the intersec-tion at Southern Cross Drive, Parish Roadand Hermina Avenue,” he says.“A total of nine accidents were reported

in the last five years, and none were report-ed last year.”The City’s acting executive director for

safety and security, Ian Schnetler says traf-fic services will need to monitor the inter-section.“The City has not placed any cameras at

the intersection and no cellphones havebeen confiscated there,” he says.V Share your views. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Canopies now on criminals’ shopping listNADINE MOODIE

Bakkie owners in Harfield Village andClaremont are fuming. They are wakingup to canopies stolen from their vehicles.Claremont police spokesperson Cap-

tain Angie Latchman says reports aboutstolen canopies have been streaming inover the last two months.“Themost cases came fromresidents in

Keerboom and Crescent roads, as well asnear Newlands Swimming Pool,” shesays.“Residents need to ensure that their

canopies are secured properly and thatsafety measures are in place. Unfortu-nately no arrests have been made.”

Harlyn Neighbourhood Watch chair-personDamienMocke says thieves strikeearly morning, load the the stolen canopyon the bakkie and speed away.“Bakkie owners should consider fitting

a door alarm on their bakkies, which willtrigger the alarm when it is opened,” hesays. “Residents need to be alert and re-port incidents to the police if they see can-opies loaded sideways on bakkies, espe-cially early in the morning.”Wynberg Community Policing Forum

(CPF) chairperson Jimmy Young says heis aware of canopies being prominent onthieves’ pilfer list.“This is just another scheme; a way for

criminals to sell canopies to desperate

people at a cheaper rate,” he says.“It’s very easy to steal canopies, all

thieves do is open the canopy door get in-to the back of the bakkie, loosen the fournuts and bolts, or the pins and then liftit on to an identical model vehicle.Canopy sales agent Rina Riley says not

all canopies are easy pickings.“It depends on how you fit the canopy

on to the bakkie,” she explains.“Some companies just use gadgets to

hook the canopy on to the vehicle, whichmakes it easy to remove and steal.“Most of the canopies which have re-

cently been stolen off vehicles are onesthat were placed on the bakkie withhooks.”

Illegal cigarettes haulRICHARD ROBERTS

Thousands of rands worth of il-legal cigarettes are regularlytransported across South Afri-can borders to the WesternCape and the Mother City.Provincial traffic chief Ken-

ny Africa says this phenome-non is on the increase and theyare stopping more and morepeople transporting illegal ciga-rettes on main routes.LastThursday, theprovincial

traffic department and the po-lice seized 140 000 cigaretteswith a street value of R160 000.Theman transporting the cargowas arrested. “He was stoppedand arrested at a roadblockabout 5km outsideWorcester. Itwas different cigarettes of dif-ferent brands,” Africa said.The transportionof the illegal

cargo is rising in the province,

Africa said. “We are arrestingmore and more people for thepossession of illegal cigarettes,mostly on ourmain routes – theN1, N2 and N7.”He said the previous largest

find was when traffic officialsconfiscated R1,1m worth of ille-gal cigarettes on the N7 nearMorreesburg at the end of June.In a statement, the South Af-

rican Tobacco Institute said theconfiscated cigarettes includesChicago and Manchester ciga-rettes. According to the state-ment, the trading of illegal ciga-rettes has rocketed since 2010.“Research by an independent

agency showed that 28% of thecigarettes sold in the provinceis illegal.”It says many illicit cigarettes

are transported here by Zimba-bweans, while large amountsare also produced locally.

Smart way toSmart way tospend taxes?spend taxes?There is a renewed call to make tertiary

studies freely available.If higher education was free, would

it lead to more skilled workers or would itbe a drain on the State coffers, especiallywhen students fail?People’s Post polled readers about this hot-

button topic. This is what they had to say.

MICHAEL JANSEN says a smart move is to createmore jobs instead of granting free tertiary educa­tion. “I think free tertiary education is both goodand bad but probably wouldn’t work. You’ll havea lot of people with the same qualifications.Where will everyone work if there aren’t morejobs? PHOTOS: TARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

PHUMLA MFUMBESI strongly identifies with theidea of free tertiary education, describing the ideaas a blessing for those who cannot afford to paythe high fees. “I would have loved to study tour­ism, but my parents are unable to pay the fees.I cannot afford it either. If higher education wasfree more people would realise their dreams.”

DAMIAN KRIGE feels tertiary education should beavailable to anyone who is dedicated to make asuccess of their studies. “If someone is willing to(study) they should be given the opportunity. In­stitutions should look at the person’s history tohelp determine if they qualify to enrol.”

ROCHELLE SHANNON believes many peoplewould appreciate the opportunity to study forfree. “Even though I’ve been working a long timeI would have liked to study. There aren’t enoughbursaries available and not everyone can affordto study further.”

MORNE COETZEE is delighted at the suggestionof free tertiary education, arguing that all educa­tion in South Africa should be free. He is preparedto pay more tax. “Although the amount of taxeswe pay will probably increase if tertiary educationwas free, all levels of education should be free.”

NATALIE DU TOIT feels providing free tertiary edu­cation is a move in the right direction. She be­lieves tertiary education will help many peoplewho can only dream of an improved life, as univer­sity fees are steep. “There are so many talentedpeople, but not everyone gets the jobs withouta qualification.”

KERWIN LIEDEMAN believes the standard of highschool education needs to be raised if tertiary ed­ucation will be free. “Free tertiary education is agood idea, but there would have to be strict ad­mission standards. This means the standard ofhigh school education would also need to be (im­proved).”

RATES: RESIDENTS IGNORANT OF SUPPORT SCHEME

Discountedrebate systemNADINE MOODIE

Too few residents in the southern sub-urbs are accessing the rates rebatescheme, says ward councillor Ian

Iversen.“Pensions don’t keep up with the pace of

inflation and there are many people in thesouthern suburbs who qualify for the re-bate, but have not accessed the system,” hesays.The rates rebate has been running for 13

years and has been available to people whoare 60 years and older, who own their ownhomes and earn a combined income ofR12 000 or less.Iversen says the scheme evolves each

year to accommodate people.“Disabled individuals also qualify for the

rebate, as well as people who’ve been hospi-talised for an extended period, but thescheme is not available to people who’vebeen charged with a crime,” he says.“Residents who have a joint monthly in-

come of between R3 500 and R12 000 qualifyfor a full rebate.“Rebates will start with 10% off your

rates bill, and the valuation of your proper-ty will only be considered if it’s valued atR200 000 or less.“It’s a simple process, those who qualify

should fill in a two page form which is ob-

tainable from the councillor or the City ofCape Town, followed by attaching threemonths bank statements to it.“Southern suburbs residents are asset

rich and cash poor, and should access theirlegal right to the rates rebate.”Vice-chaiperson of Pinelands Ratepayers

Association Riad Davids says they invitedthe City’s Finance Committee to explainhow the rates rebate worked at the begin-ning of the new financial year.“It is important for residents to know

about the rebate which they can access, butI don’t think it’s advertised and utilisedwidely, because of the loss of revenue,which the City experiences,” he says.“The rebate comes with stringent crite-

TECHNOLOGY CONTEST: ST GEORGE’S GRAMMAR CHAMPS

Hip hip hooray for MowbraySix pupils from St George’s Grammar

School were crowned victorious at theprovincial finals of this year’s Hip2B²

iTHINK Challenge.The team competed against 300 other

hopefuls at Northpine Technical HighSchool, Brackenfell, on Monday 22 July.They will now compete against teams fromthe eight other provinces in digital finalsheld around the country.The final takes place at Blue Route Mall

on Saturday 3 August from 10:00 to 14:00.Winners take home R15 000 while secondand third places get R10 000 and R5 000 re-spectively.The event is in its sixth year and is imple-

mented across all nine provinces by the De-partment of Science and Technology and theSA Agency for Science and Technology Ad-vancement (SAASTA).This year has been branded theUnitedNa-

tions International Year of Water, and thisSouthAfrican ScienceWeek (27 July to 3Au-gust) subsequently focuses on water re-source management.The Hip2B² event aimed to incorporate

this in challenges held with more than 7000pupils across the country.A variety of science and maths-related

tasks, riddles and problems also saw partici-pants develop a water supply system for acity street and create a folded paper watercontainer.SAASTA national project coordinator Er-

na Taljaard says: “Water is our most basic

resource and critical for survival. We facetremendous challenges ahead in ensuringthat there will be adequate water resourcesfor the world’s population and today’s youthwill have a lot to contribute towards findingand implementing sustainable solutions.Science, maths and technology will delivermuch-needed solutions in resource manage-ment.“Therefore it is imperative that our youth

develop the necessary analytical and prob-lem-solving skills, like those stimulated bythe Hip2B² iTHINK Challenge.”Hip2B² was founded in 2002 to promote the

study of Science, Maths and technology-re-

lated subjects to develop innovative entre-preneurial skills and analytical thinking.Hip2B² managing director Cathryn Payne

says: “The organisation strives to makethese subjects fun and interesting, whileteaching thevalue these subjects add to theireveryday lives and their futures.”One such way is the use of participants’

ideas in a cereal brand. As a side-challenge,pupils are set the task of creating new fla-vours for the brand. This year saw themdream up new tastes for a chocolate proteinshake.Last year’s caramel and mango flavoured

cereal will be available soon.

HEALTHCARE: NEW DOCTOR IN CHARGE

New Groote Schuurboss ‘here to stay’ELSABÉ BRITS

She loves Cape Town so much that shenever wants to leave, says the womannow at the helm of Groote SchuurHos-

pital.Dr Bhavna Patel, a specialist in family

medicine and public health, was appointedas CEO of the hospital, which turns 75 thisyear.Patel heads the 3700-strong staff. About

20 000 operations are performed in 25 thea-tres and 45 000 people are treated at the hos-pital each year. It also has 200 clinics and350 000 outpatients.Provincial healthminister TheunsBotha

announced Patel’s appointment on Thurs-day in the same old building and not farfrom where Professor Chris Barnard per-formed the first heart transplant on 3 De-cember 1967. “It is one thing to manage ahospital, but quite another to lead a worldicon such as Groote Schuur. Dr Patel is ab-solutely suited for the position. One of thebiggest challenges is to provide thebest pos-sible service for a growing population, withthe same financial resources,” says Botha.Patel says: “We still do heart, as well as

kidney, lung and bone marrow trans-plants.”The hospital has a budget of R1.8bn and

Patel hopes to introduce more innovativetechnology and procedures, as well as tocontinue conducting research.Patel was the hospital’s senior medical

services manager for five years before be-coming Groote Schuur’s chief operating of-ficer in 2011.

After specialising in familymedicine, shewas in private practice in Rylands for 10years.“I was born and bred in Cape Town and

have two children at high school,” she says.To relax she enjoys artistic endeavours.And, yes, she can speak Afrikaans.. Two other women who left deep im-

pressions at the hospital are Dr Hannah-Reeve Sanders, who in 1976 was the firstwoman in the country to bemade chiefmed-ical superintendent of the hospital. Dr Joce-lyne Kane-Berman took over from her in1986.

. Dr Terence Carter, CEO since 2010 andpreviously of Tygerberg Hospital, has re-tired.

CEO: Dr Bhavna Patel now heads GrooteSchuur Hospital.

Masters swinging in PinelandsLIAM MOSES

The organisers of the 2013 South AfricanMaster’s Softball Championship have prom-ised good softball and a fun atmospherewhenthe tournament takes place.FalconsMasters Softball Clubwill host the

tournament this year, with the Old MutualSports Complex and neighbouring Oude Mo-len High School in Pinelands as the venues.Maureen Jangle, former president ofWest-

ern Province Softball and chairperson of thelocal organising committee, says the Cham-pionship will feature teams from across SA.“Although this is serious, it’s also fun. You

can enter as a club or as a province. We (willbe hosting) provincial and club teams fromBorder, KwaZulu Natal and all over,” shesays.“Falcons have participated in the tourna-

ment for the last fiveyears and theyhavewonandbeenunbeaten in the last three. The tour-nament is allocated to a different provinceeach year and they offered it Falcons thisyear.”The master’s division is for any player

over the age of 35 and the tournament havemen’s and women’s competitions.Apart from Falcons, the other Cape Town

clubs who have entered teams this year areGlenthorne Athletics, Pirates, Old Mutual

Cubs and Hamiltons.Jangle says Falcons decided to host the

tournament in Pinelands because TurfhallSports Complex, the location Cape Town’sonly softball stadium, is currently beingusedfor football fixtures. The venue also has therequired space and facilities, such as a club-house.Falcons have had to fund the tournament

themselves and have been hard at work se-curing sponsors.“Old Mutual and Oude Molen let us have

the fields free of charge, but we will make adonation to the school,” says Jangle.“Every player has to pay to participate,

while the rest of the money will come fromsponsorships.”She adds sponsors for the diamonds (pitch-

es), while more funding will be securedthrough selling the rights for food and soft-ball equipment stalls at the venue.Any profit made from the tournament will

be ploughed back to the hosts to cover traveland accommodation costs of future master’stournaments. The tournament’s main spon-sor is Sabelco, while the confirmed diamondsponsors are Trade Supplies, Vitamin Waterand The Hollow Tree Pub.Entry to the tournament will be free. For

New broom aimsfor PSL promotionLIAM MOSES

Santos will win the National First Divi-sion (NFD) and gain promotion to thePremier Soccer League (PSL) this

year, if they can find the right mentality.That is the belief of former People’s Team

striker David Notoane, who was appointedhead coach earlier this month.Notoane took over from Ian Palmer, who

joined at the halfway mark of the 2012/2013season and lead the club to second place onthe table and a spot in the promotion/rele-gation play-offs.“A mental shift is a big necessity. We

came from the PSL and, in the beginning,we still did things and played as a PSLteam,” says Notoane.“We are going into the second season in

theNFDso the reality is thatwe are anNFDteam, even though – in terms of history andquality – we are a PSL team. We have to ap-proach things as an NFD team. We have towork as hard as we can and slog it out toget into the PSL. The thinking of Santos asa PSL teamneeds to change and the playersneed to understand that.”Santos got off to a poor start last season

and although the team improved vastly af-ter Palmer’s appointment, inconsistencystill played a major role in the failure tobounce back to the PSL.

TheLansdownebased clubwon 13 games,drew 10 and lost five.In the off season the club has played sev-

eral friendlies, with the aim of building onthe improved performances in the secondhalf of last season.Notoane says they are attempting to sign

a forward and left and right midfielders, af-ter JonathanArmogamandGrahamKing’scontracts expired.While the quality of Santos’ signings will

be under scrutiny, the newmentor believesa “winning mentality” is more importantto helping his side develop the consistencyneeded to win the title this season.“We have the quality and we have the

right balance between experience andyouth to challenge for honours,” he says.“I amworking very hard to bring the best

out of the players. Even the young boyshave great ability. We just have to turn iton and play with a certain degree of self-ex-pression within the culture of developing awinning mentality and attitude.”“We came close last season, so this season

we have to go one better.“The buzz words are ‘consistency’ and

‘winning mentality’.”The fixtures for the NFD season have not

been released as yet, but Notoane hopes toget off to a “good start” regardless of whothey face.

Police RFC fire late against DelftLIAM MOSES

Police RFC thrashed Delft at home inPinelands to notch up their 10th victo-ry of the season on Saturday.

Police are one of the surprise packages inDivision Four this season and could finishas high as second on the table if their win-ning form continues.Conversely, Delft has been disappointing

andwent into the encounterwith thehighesttotal of points conceded this year (411).The match stayed true to the form book,

with Police dominating the early exchangesand opening the scoringwithin fiveminutesthrough a penalty from scrumhalf EugeneFerreira.Police scored the first of five tries in the

16th minute, when Michael Bruintjies

chargeddowna clearancekick in the opposi-tion half and collected the ball to score in thecorner. The home side stretched the leadagain just eight minutes later, when flankKhanayile Mfadu received the ball in the 22and powered his way over the try-line, de-spite the attentions of two Delft defenders.Delft were shocked into action after the

second try and scored two of their ownwith-in eight minutes, either side of a penaltyfrom Police flyhalf Francois Germishuys inthe 34th minute.Inside centre Sean van Wyk grabbed his

side’s first score, bouncing off two tacklesbefore racing clear to score under posts, be-fore flankPatrick Jansen showed similar ex-plosiveness and crashed through two oppo-sition defenders on the try-line.The away sided seemed to be staging a

comeback and were the more dominantteam when the second half started, with Po-lice leading 16-14.Delft made several incursions into opposi-

tion territory, but handling errors and poordecisionmakingmeant the visitors couldn’ttake advantage despite looking dangerous.Flyhalf Delano September missed penal-

ties in the 45th and 47thminutes before scor-ing the second half’s first points with a pen-alty in the 61th.However, that was where the fight-back

ended and Police went on to score threemore tries in the final quarter thanks towell-timed substitutions.Rudolph Killmott was the first sub to

make an impact, picking up from the baseof a ruck on the Delft try-line and diving lowto dot down next to the feet of a defender in

the 28th minute. Replacement wing Fran-cois Koen left the Delft defence for dead inthe 35th minute, racing down the righttouchline to score untouched.Killmott jabbed the final dagger into

Delft’s heart in the 38th minute, slippingthroughagap, afterFabianJacobspickedupfrom scrum, drove into two defenders andoff-loaded to his fellow replacement. Ferrei-ra goaled all three conversion attempts tohelp his side to a 37-15 victory.Police have just three games left this sea-

son – against Progress, Cities and Titans –and are favourites to pick up wins in allthree.Meanwhile, Delft will face second-placed

Bishop Lavis, log leaders Khayelitsha andfifth-placed Young Brothers in their lastthree games.
