LAILA MAJIET
BO-KAAP residents are unhappywith the squatter camp in Mili-tary Road, but those staying inthe informal settlement say theyfeel neglected when it comes tobasic service delivery.
Following a two-day clean-up op-eration by the City last week, a con-cerned Bo-Kaap resident informedPeople’s Post of the high pile of dirtaccumulating outside the squattercamp next to Vista High School.
Farouk Waggie who stays in LionStreet says: “There is a house adja-cent to the shacks where a familyof four was staying. They wereserved with an eviction order to va-cate the house, and they left thepremises in April.
“Now over 10 vagrants from out-side the area stay in the house. We,the residents, don’t want a squattercamp in our area.”
Waggie says the problem has per-sisted for the last three years. Thearea gets cleaned today and tomor-row they start dumping again, headds.
However, those living in the in-formal settlement at the foot of Mili-tary Road counter they have no oth-er options as they have not beenprovided with bins, toilets or run-ning water.
The council land between Mili-tary Road and Lion Street is alsomainly used as a dumping site.
But the squatters say the dirt wasthere long before they arrived.
Nazeem Gamiet (38) is unem-ployed and has been staying at thesettlement for three years. He sayshe has stayed in Bo-Kaap all his life.
“It is not only our rubbish. Thepeople who lived here before start-ed dumping on the border of thesquatter camp and we followed suit.I am happy they have taken the dirtaway and we as a community mustensure that the area remainsclean.”
John Witbooi (64) is an unem-ployed man who has been living inthe settlement for the last 20 years.
He says: “I feel terribly bad be-cause the government is yet to giveus basic services like water and toi-lets. I am not sure how much longerthey expect us to wait. It is not nicefor the women or the children liv-ing here to have to use the bush asa toilet, but we have no otherchoice.”
Katriena Wagenaar (32) has threechildren. Her youngest was born atthe squatter camp.
She has lived there for nine years,and says she wants better for herchildren.
“It is not nice to have to raise mychildren in this environment. Two
of my children attend ScotcheskloofPrimary School and I don’t wantthem to grow up into the same cir-cumstances in which I find myself.”
Cleaning staff who were on siteon Wednesday say the dirt they re-moved seems like it has been therefor a very long time.
Saadiqah Pascoe says it was ahorrible experience having to cleanup after people who defecatedwhere they found an open space.
“It was horrible. We found paintcontainers which people had usedto defecate in. Old clothing wasstrewn on the side of the road in be-tween the dirt. This was the first
time I have cleaned up this area andit looks like a lot of the dirt is oldrubbish that had been buried withsoil.
“Plants have even grown over thedirt,”she says.
The Bo-Kaap Civic Association’sOsman Shaboodien says the squat-ter camp is a symptom of a biggerproblem – a lack of housing.
“There is no control over thesquatter camp either. People set upshop and no one controls this. Be-cause the window period in whichto evict squatters is so short, theproblem persists.”
The Bo-Kaap Neighbourhood
Watch says the informal settlementis often used as an escape route forcriminals who lurk in the area.
Chairperson Fahim Omar says:“There has been an increase incriminal activity in the area sincethe occupants of the house on thefarm were evicted and othersmoved in.”
Richard Bosman, the director ofthe City’s safety and security de-partment says: “The City’s Dis-placed People’s Unit, with the as-sistance of other enforcement agen-cies and the Social DevelopmentDepartment, will continue to workin the area daily to address the va-grancy issues.”
‘No control’ over squatters

Dear reader,
Like the thousands of hopefuls who en-ter Idols each year, most of us believewe’re stars. And why not?
After all, each of us has an interestinglife story to tell and if movies were madeof these, we would all be stars.
Real life tales aside, there’s nothingmore powerful than having a dream, or inthe case of most Idols contestants whoclearly can’t carry a tune, more misguid-ed. Despite being told in the most candidmanner by the show’s judges that theycan’t sing, the delusional masses return,year after year.
And suckers for punishment, such as I,allow them to assault my senses, year afteryear.
Idols is one of many reality shows fol-lowed by millions of voyeuristic TV view-ers, greedy for full-on glimpses into oth-ers’ lives.
It’s hard to believe that with the adventof TV back in the 70s, riveting viewing was
provided by the sedate likes of shows likeDallas and Kojak and truly innocent chil-dren’s programmes such as Heidi andBlack Beauty.
Back in District Six, myparents were among the firstto acquire a black-and-whiteBlaupunkt telly, for whichmy mom paid all of R450cash; impressive! This meantthat on Dallas nights, rela-tives from as far as WalmerEstate traipsed to our hometo keep up with the doings ofthe Ewings. It’s painful, butI still remember the thememusic to this and other 70sTV programmes; almost aswell as I remember my oldercousin loudly crunching hisway through a bag of carrots while the restof us strained to hear every word comingout of this wonderful wooden box.
Now we are spoilt for choice and con-sumers seem content with nothing short
of a full menu of reality viewing, the fullbouquet served instantly. This is sympto-matic of human behaviour, seldom satiat-ed. And despite the endless options 21st
century technology has ush-ered in, we don’t stop want-ing the next new cellphoneor computer.
The big old brick-of-a-block Nokia cellphone every-one had to have when cell-phones were a novelty, isnow sneered at. Facebookand other social networksites have given truth to theterm “imaginary friends” assome people clock up thou-sands of “www friends”;while at the same time pro-fessing to leadingvery lonely
(meaning real) lives.And when you’ve had enough of your
virtual friends, after a virtual tiff, you sim-ply boot them off BB or FB - no questionsasked.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan oftechnology and its many benefits such ascost-effective communication, access toinformation and connection to others. Ihave no desire to return to the days of pen-pals and handwritten letters, but where dowe draw the line? Some people take socialnetworking to scary levels; broadcastingtheir painful experiences on a myriad ofdigital platforms. Others cowardly end re-lationships via email. Then there are theinherent dangers this exposure brings, tothe impressionable and vulnerable.
But who am I to judge when I too havebecome enslaved to modern technologyand cannot imagine being without my nif-ty gadgets and the endless possibilities itbrings?

WITH the new financial year in fullswing, the City of Cape Town’s electricitytariff increase has become a reality.
SinceSunday, consumershave to coughup,on average, 11% more for electricity.
The City says the tariff hike has been putin place to “construct and maintain” equip-ment that transforms the power supply so itmeets customer’s needs, supplies publiclighting and provides secondary supportservices.
The electricity services department is thelink between electricity supplier Eskom andconsumers.
The City has two different tariff structuresfor residential properties – lifeline and do-mestic.
The lifeline tariffs apply to households us-ing 450 kilowatt hours (kWh) or, as it is morecommonly known, 450 units on average amonth.
Residents who qualify for the lifeline tariffreceive free basic electricity allocations eachmonth.
Those who use on average more than450kWh a month are charged the domestictariff.
In essence, the more electricity you use, themore you pay.
There is a sliding scale attached to the costof electricity in the lifeline category, engi-neered to drive down electricity consump-tion.
With the price increases, residents who fallinto the lifeline tariff category will pay justunder 65 cents a kWh/unit for the first 150units they buy. The City effectively pays forthe first 50 units which are free under the life-
line tariff.If you buy between 150 and 350 units, the
price a unit is just under 90 cents, which isan 11% increase.
If you buy between 350 and 600 units, thereis a 9.9% increase, and If you buy more than600 units it will cost 18.7% more.
The City has urged consumers to buy onlythe amount of electricity they anticipate touse in a month, because excess electricitywill be charged at a higher rate.
It has also urged customers to try and saveelectricity where possible to minimise theirconsumption.
Silvia Grove says she can’t afford givingout more money on bills.
“Everything is becoming more expensive;last time it was the petrol, then Metrorail andnow the electricity. It is becoming too muchto keep up with.”
Gadieja Ismail makes soup for the childrenfrom her community every week. She alsoruns a catering business and says the newprice hike will leave a hole in her pocket.
“I have been cooking for many years, andnow it seems my passion has to be curbed be-cause I already spend so much on electricity.I’m going to have to scale down drastically.”
Save on electricity by:. Turning the geyser temperature down to
60degreesCelsius.Maintaining this tempera-ture uses less electricity than maintaining atemperature of 70 degrees C. Don’t drop it be-low 60 degrees Celsius for health reasons.
. Using less hot water by taking showersinstead of a bath. Also, take shorter showers.Fill the kettle with only the water you need.Washa full loadof dishes rather thanonedishat a time.
. Switching off equipment not in use. Turnappliances off at the wall plug, rather than
leaving them on standby as this can still draw20% or more of normal electricity use.
. Installing an efficient shower head. CapeTown water bylaws limit shower flow ratesto no more than 10 litres a minute. To test thisat home, hold a bucket under the shower headfor 12 seconds.Measure thewater in thebuck-et with a measuring jug. If there are morethan two litres this means your shower head
is inefficient..Insulating the geyser. A geyser ‘blanket’
maximises heat retention..Installing efficient lighting. Compact flu-
orescent lamps use 75% less power than in-candescent bulbs, and they last much longer.
For more tips or information on how tosave electricity, visit the City website atwww.capetown.gov.za.

TRANSFORMED: Sebastino Nelson, a resident at the Beth Uriel Home in Salt River, isone of three men who were given free coverups by a Muizenberg tattoo shop during YouthMonth. Lindsay Henley, a social worker at the Christian facility for young men, says: “Forsome of our family members, life before Beth Uriel included gang participation and othergangrelated activity. Most have left that lifestyle behind, but are left with the marksas tattoos are a way of physically affiliating with groups,” she says. The coverups, doneby Tattoo Muse, are a way for many of the home’s youth to make a symbolic changeto represent the hard work they have put in to change their lives. Here artist Nic Burnandgets to work on Nelson’s arm. Photo: Supplied

GOOD HOSTS: Jaymion Hendricks feels the stadium hasmany advantages. “Cape Townneeds to be promoted as an international city able to host bigevents, which, in turn, is goodfor our economy. It comes downto being able to host majorevents.” Photos: Nathan Adonis
MANAGING: Ziyanda Stuurman saysthe future of all stadiums in the areashould be managed. “The stadiumshould stay and be made more multifunctional. There are other smallerstadiums in the Cape area whichcould be distracting from the mainone in Cape Town. More emphasisshould be put on the main stadium.”
OTHER WAYS: Daniele Hofmeyr feelsother uses for the stadium aren’t asimportant. “We are spending all taxpayers’ money and now we want todemolish the stadium. The land canbe used for housing, but there is other land that can be used for that aswell.”
BE GOALDRIVEN: Philip du Toitwants the stadium to stay.“Sport is the greatest nationbuilder and it has brought people together. Sport keeps us together and is a way to keep people off the streets.”
MORE IS BETTER: Jamison Glidden,from the USA, says the stadiumshould be utilised better. “Theyshould have more concerts andgames as it is a beautiful stadium.It would be a huge waste of moneyto demolish such a place.”
TOURISM GEM: Nelita Do Rosariofeels the stadium can be a multipurpose centre. “People who want to demolish the stadium do not understand how much effort was put intoconstructing it. The stadium is atourist attraction for many people.”
SPORTING HUB: Craig van Rooidoes not want to see the stadium demolished. “It is a nicestadium. Why do people wantto demolish it? They should beplaying more games there andthat includes smaller soccerleagues and rugby games.”
GOODBYE: Clint Hermanus seesno use for the stadium. “Theyshould demolish it because theyare not making use of it. Mymain reason is that the land canbe used for many other things,such as shops and housing.”

COSATU Western Cape wants theCape Town Stadium to be convert-ed into low-cost housing.
This change represents a chance to“promote black and white communi-ties across the class divide”, accord-ing to the trade union federation.
Cosatu’s plan for the building ofaffordable housing in the city centrehas been discussed and is supportedby engineers and architects.
Provincial secretary Tony Ehren-reich says: “People of Green Pointhave objected before to turning thestadium area into commercial spaceand them possibly opposing low-costhousing is the same protectionismthat brought about apartheid.”
He adds: “Black working familieswould be occupying the houseswhich would assist in integrating theGreen Point community.”
Green Point resident Alistair Huntwould like to see the stadium’s worthrealised.
“The stadium was built for a rea-son and a lot of money was spent. Itwould not make sense to demolishsuch an expensive facility,” he says.
Hunt continues that the city’s sta-diumis aworld-class facility that cancreate benefits for businesses andcommunities – if managed effective-ly.
Angela Weickl, a Green Point res-taurant manager, feels the stadiumshould stay.
“They need to find more uses for it.I’ve been inside and it is a greatspace,” she says.
“The stadium is representative ofa very important time in our countryand just because the World Cup isover does not mean the stadiumshould go with it. The building of thestadium gave many people jobs.”
Inge Wulff, a sales assistant at aluxury clothing store in Green Point,feels that efforts are being directed tomake the stadium a financial suc-cess.
“Management should think of crea-tive ways to use the stadium in orderto bring in larger amounts of profit,”she says.
“All other possible angles shouldbe investigated before the stadium isdestroyed.”
Jarred Dunn, the manager of a pho-tography business in Green Point, al-so wants the full potential of the sta-
dium realised.“Singers and bands will not
be able to entertain our peopleif a suitable venue is not avail-able. We should think verycarefully before we decide to
get rid of the stadium,” he says.Last week, the City announced pos-
sible plans to rezone the area to ac-commodate nightclubs and officeblocks.
Gert Bam, the director of Sport,Recreation and Amenities, says:“The City has no intention of demol-ishing the stadium.”
If upgraded, the stadium will be thesecond in Green Point, after the ath-letics stadium, to receive renova-tions.
Bam says: “The City has alreadyhad extensive interest from clubs infinding out when the athletics facili-ty will be complete and when book-ings can occur for forthcomingevents.”
The Green Point Athletics Stadiumis under construction to seat 5 000spectators and receive an Interna-tional Association of Athletics Feder-ations accreditation. Completion isexpected at year-end.
Councillor Dave Bryant representsa portion of the Green Point ward andthe Bo-Kaap.
“I believe this is a valuable initia-tive which will provide high classsporting facilities for the people ofthe Bo-Kaap,” says Bryant.
He adds: “The Cape Town Stadiumhas brought massive value to thecity.
“The stadium can certainly hostmore events and alternative revenuestreams are being explored.”

Woodstock and Maitland commuters areamong those to feel it the most. They have tofork out an extra R17 for first-class monthlytickets to Cape Town. That means from thismonth to December they will have paid a totalof R102 more to get to the city on first class.
Third class commuters from Salt River andObservatory have to budget for R13 more ontrain fares.
The price hike came into effect on Sunday.Sound engineering student Kenneth Moko-
atsi catches the train from Retreat to the cityeach day.
This first-class commuter paid R200 for amonthly ticket, but he now has to fork out anadditional R16.
Mokoatsi says: “It puts more pressure onthe average working person. Travelling everyday is something you can’t avoid. People arestruggling financially already and rely heavi-
ly on the trains.”The option of using taxis, he says, would
come at a higher price.“The average person earning a minimum
wage, such as cashiers and petrol attendants,will be some of those hardest hit by the endof the discount,” says Mokoatsi.
He was referring to a 15% Metrorail dis-count for monthly ticket holders from Aprilto June. The price hike would have set in on1 April, but labour federations negotiated fora delay in the increase.
Mokoatsi says the increase will “cut intoother costs, such as food and clothing”.
Duncan Hanekom, an electrician, com-mutes daily from Retreat to Wynberg.
Hanekom says: “I am not happy with theMetrorail service and I know other people arenot happy either. The train is always late orfull because of carriages that are short.”
Metrorail marketing and communicationsmanager, Riana Scott, says: “Monthly ticketsvalid from July onwards will revert to theoriginal increase, irrespective of the date pur-chased.”

YOU ARE now paying 7,06 % more foryour refuse removal.
The City of Cape Town announced thetariff increase last week and it was imple-mented on Sunday.
The new tariffs has been put in place todevelop new landfill sites because the ex-isting sites are almost full.
Over three million Western Cape resi-dents generate between 5 000 and 6 000tons of domestic and industrial waste perday.
As older landfill sites reach capacity,waste has to be transported further awayto new landfill sites and refuse truckshave to be replaced.
According to the City, these needs aredriving up costs for both the collectionand disposal of waste.
The City is running a series of wasteminimisation campaigns, but still, it is be-
coming more expensive.While the City has increased the aver-
age charge for refuse removal, it is alsoputting money aside to assist those inneed by providing a rebate.
Subsidies worth almost R2 millionhave been allocated for the new financialyear.
The rebate categories depends on thevalue of your property.
If your property is between R0 andR100 000 you get a 100 percent rebate.
Between R100 000 and R150 000 = 75 %rebate.
Between R150 000 and R350 000 = 50 %rebate
Between R350 000 and R400 000 = 25 %rebate.

removed the firearm and fired shots at thevictims.”
All three are currently in hospital.Sam confirms that all three victims will
still be questioned.The suspected gunman is on the run.“We have no further details on the

The centre, which officially opened its doors yesterday (Monday 2July), will temporarily relocate to the Foreshore until all the applications currently on fileare attended. Aftewards, there will no longer be a refugee facility in the Western Cape,with centres remaining in Pretoria, Durban and Musina. Here Busi Centane from the Department of Home Affairs hands out some of the last forms to refugees waiting in line at theMaitland facility. Photo: Jaco Marais/Photo24
IT PAYS to be a cautious driver. Just askJudy Mulder.
The Kensington resident was lauded forher safe driving by Lead SA.
Lead SA ambassador and Cape Talk pre-senter Africa Melane and the 94.5 KfmGround Patrol team went to the Good Shep-herd Anglican Church in Kensington to ac-knowledge and congratulate Mulder.
She has been driving for the past 45 yearsand has not received a single traffic fine todate.
Earlier this year former transport minis-ter Sibusiso Ndebele commented that thegovernment “wants to make it very clear weremain steadfast in our resolve to bring
down the fatality rate on our roads”.He said the reduction in roaddeaths “isnot
just desirable; it is an urgent non-negotiable,andhasbecomeourdailymission,whichhascalled upon world leaders to work togetherduring this Decade of Action for road safetyand to share solutions to this challenge”.
Mulder was presented with a certificate ofthanks from Lead SA, in partnership withthe transport department.
A very surprised Mulder addressed thecongregation with a word of thanks and say-ing: “ I always knew to do the right thing –no matter what.
“Bynotdrivingwithin the rules of the roadand speeding so many lives are lost, whichis totally unnecessary.”

THEIR curiosity will not be satisfied – ifthe number of visitors to the Science Cen-tre are taken into account.
More than 22 000 visitors have passedthrough the doors of the Cape Town ScienceCentre this year, says centre director JulieCleverdon.
She says: “Of these visitors, 71% areyouths, of which 22% have visited duringschool outings.”
Cleverdon adds that 340 have signed up forannual membership of the centre and havevisited over 1 400 times.
The number of adult visitors has “in-creased significantly in the new venue, offer-ing opportunities for cross-generationallearning, which is an important factor instimulating a scientifically-literate society”.
She says anyone who has visited the Sci-ence Centre in Observatory will know it is“more about explorative fun than a bunch ofstatistics, but these statistics tell a tale of thefirst five months of the Science Centre in itsnew home in Observatory”.
These figures make Cleverdon concludethat “Capetonians are pleased to have theirScience Centre open again”.
Visitor Bee Soboil says: “We love the newcentre, the space, the light and the vibe. Infact, we prefer it. A bonus is it is easy to gettoo and new programmes are available forthe children in the same building, like Sound-house. We can’t wait to try them out.”
A comment from Pelican Park PrimarySchool reads: “Continue having learning en-vironments like the Science Centre. (It hasan) excellent choice of activities.”
The Science Centre relocated from CanalWalk shopping centre to the premises in Ob-servatory in front of Groote Schuur Hospital.
After 15 months of intensive effort and nail-biting moments with the help of the nationalDepartment of Science and Technology andthe support of many local and national spon-sors, the Science Centre managed to reopenin December.
The Science Centre has sponsorship from,among others, provincial Department of Eco-nomic Development and Tourism.
These sponsors ensure that less privilegedlearners and individuals have the opportuni-ty to visit the centre, says Cleverdon.
The winter holiday programme, a popularevent on the yearly calendar, is in full swing.Daily science shows, planetarium shows andworkshops are guaranteed to offer hands-onfun and learning during the wet and coldweeks ahead.
Shows are titled Eccentric Enzymes, Bal-loon Olympics, All Things that Fly and MrBones Relay Race. Coming attractions in-clude National Science Week, popular sci-ence talks,Biotechnology-themedworkshopsfor schools, Robotics tournaments and Ar-duino clubs.
“A tremendous amount has been achievedin a very short time and the potential to domore is really exciting. We are so pleased tobe open again and thankful for the supportwe have received. Our work is cut out for us;fundraising is on-going to ensure the long-term sustainability of the centre,” says Clev-erdon, who adds they’re not asking for spon-sors to sponsor the Science Centre, “but tosponsor a child to visit the centre and be in-spired to reach their dreams”.
Besides Soundhouse, the centre also nowhouses other educational partners, includingKiddiwinks Lego and Robotics, making it ahive of hands-on educational opportunities.Soundhouse and Kiddiwinks are offering hol-iday programmes this winter around musictechnology and robotics.
The Winter Holiday Programme runs untilSunday 15 July and the centre is open everyday of the week. The centre is situated onMain Road, close to arterial routes and is eas-ily accessible by public transport. Bookingsare recommended for Soundhouse and Kiddi-winks programmes. The science shop is nowalso open.

Money mattersAS THE cold weather settles in, expected mid-year price hikes will, at best, get a lukewarmreception from Capetonians.
Following the consistent rise and fall – tothe lesser – of fuel, residents are already bat-tling to keep head above water for the basicessentials such as food and a decent roof overtheir heads.
Some, trapped by arrears of City Councilrental units for years, have ceremonially bur-ied their letters of demand for payment beforesetting them alight.
The demands for housing, as well as ade-quate government services in the health, edu-cation and social services sectors are not be-ing met. This is contrary to election promises.There are no houses for all. Education is freeonly to those at “no-fee” schools. To many, re-fusing to admit to diminished income – or out-right poverty – is a matter pride.
While many want to work, they’re not get-ting jobs. The reasons are varied. Globally, at-tempts at rebuilding the economic house ofcards are still a work in progress. Therearen’t enough employment opportunities inthe private sector. In SA, not everyone whoknocks on the Red Door programme for helpgets financial aid. And some people may sim-ply not be employable – they don’t have theskills, experience or the education to do thejob.
In the first quarter of this year, the nationalunemployment rate stood at 25% – a 2% in-crease, says Statistics SA.
The average 11% price hike in electricitywill have consumers thinking about theirpockets before flicking that switch. And railcommuters are already nursing the pain ofprice hikes ranging from R1 extra for singletickets to up to R42 more for monthly tickets.
There are many Capetonians living in ex-pensive properties, but have less disposableincome. For them, the simple act of movinghouse is costly. It is not just a simple matterof relocating to a cheaper residence – or evenrenting – as this, too, comes at a higher price.
It is a case of too expensive to live, too ex-pensive to die.
COMMERCE will never permit the demise ofChristmas or Easter.
It is commerce that keeps these holidays go-ing –not the church.ThedayofAscensionwasremoved because it had no real commercialvalue; it was seen as just a holiday.
Admittedly a small percentage of peoplewent to church.
There are seven ANC holidays: HumanRights Day, Freedom Day, Workers’ Day,Youth Day, Women’s Day, Heritage Day andDay of Reconciliation.
None have any commercial value.It is obvious, therefore, which days should
go.RALPH
Commerce keeps holidays going
I READ in your cartoon there is a proposalto change the name to something unpro-nounceable.
I take exception to this, as I am a bornand bred Capetonian of 75 years. Why mustwe change the name that is so well known
throughout the world? And what about thecost involved to bring it about? Also for thewhim of a few.
Why not test the public opinion on thisbefore implementation?CAPETONIAN
What’s in this new name?
I THOUGHT I would share something withyour readers.
On Monday, the Council refuse removalstaff emptied our bins with the usual shuntingand rolling of the bins back to our homes. Thishappened with the usual clatter of binsagainst pavements, resulting in wheels flyingoff and, in my case, the lid being bashed off.
I was watching all this – as I have previouslydone – and, because my bin was damaged thistime, I telephoned council to report what hadhappened.
The reactionof the council officialwasabso-lutely wonderful. He gave me his name, a ref-erence number and the assurance the binwould be replaced free within 14 days.
Here comes the crunch: they replaced mybin during the stormy weather this morning(Wednesday).
That is what I call excellent service. Givethem applause. It is good to see there are stillpeople like that in the world. Pity their col-leagues caused the problem in the first place.DAN RUTHENBERG

The Dave Spence Memorial 10 km race presented bythe RCS Gugulethu Athletic Club which forms part ofWestern Province Athletics PowerAde League serieswill take place will take place on Sunday at the NY49stadium in Gugulethu.
According to organiser Marshall Moiloa, the popu-lar township race was started three years after theircelebrated coach Dave Spence passed away in 2009.
“Dave used to be a coach and mentor not only forme, but many talented young athletes from the town-ships. He was the one who urged me to start up theclub. He put in a lot of time and effort and played akey role in the establishment of the Gugulethu Athlet-ic club. It’s great that his legacy can live on with a racethat is held in his memory,” Moila said proudly.
“A lot of people were previously scared to come intothe townships. But I think that kind of stereotypicalthinking has changed drastically in recent times. Weare expecting a huge turnout this year because therace forms part of WPA’s PowerAde League series.
“The race starts at 07:30 and the 4.2 km fun run atO7:35 about 150m from the NY49 Stadium next to theGugulethu Mall. It’s run over a fast and flat course andis perfect for runners aiming for a personal best time.
“ At Manenberg Police Station the runners will turnleft at Duinefontein Road past the Nyanga JunctionShopping Center. The route then takes at left turn atLansdowne road over the bridge through the townshipand back to the finish at the NY49 stadium. We havedecided to make the cut-off time for the 10km is twoand a half hours to ac-commodate the walkerswho are also welcome,”explained Moila.
Registration will takeplace from 05:45 - 07:00.Entry for the 10km is R35for licensed athletes.Temporary licences costR20. The first 1 000 fin-ishers will get medals.

Relegation woes for SantosTASMIN CUPIDO
NO announcements of ter-minations of contracts hasbeen made at Engen Santosafter they were relegatedfrom the Premier SoccerLeague (PSL) the weekend.
This according to teammanager Yusuf Gester, whostressed that the club willhonour all contracts of play-ers and staffers.
The People’s Team findthemselves in the NationalFirst Division (NFD) after a4-3 loss to fellow Cape sideChippa United in the finalrelegation-promotion playoffmatch at Philippi Stadiumon Saturday.
It is the first time Santoswill play in this league afterentering the PSL in the1996/1997 season.
Santos has had a tough sea-son for the Lansdowne-basedside, after only winning sev-en from a total of 30 leaguematches – they lost 17 anddrew six. Former coach Boe-bie Solomons was alsosacked December.
Gester tells People’s Postthat the mood – in both thechange rooms and the office– after the loss was “tough”.“It was very quiet and wedidn’t speak to them aboutthe performance – everyonewas obviously dejected,” hesays.
“We respected the silenceof theplayers and let it be.We
really wanted to win; goinginto the match we knew whatwas at stake, In the end thematch was really close.”
Rumours that coach MartNooij will leave the club hasalso been dispelled.
“All players and staffersare contracted with the cluband we will honour thesecontracts,” Gester says.
“We however cannot deter-mine whether the playersand coaching staff will be ap-proached by other clubs. It’sfootball, its the nature of thegame.”
The squad and most officestaffers have been given abreak before they re-groupfor pre-season training andplans.
Meanwhile, Chippa Unitedhas been welcomed into thePSL by CEO Stan Matthews.
“This is a great achieve-ment by Chippa United fol-lowing what has been an im-pressive run both in the NFDand subsequently in the play-offs. They have earned theirplace. I would like to takethis opportunity to congratu-late the club management,the coaching staff, the play-ers and their fans for achiev-ing this remarkable feat,”Matthews says.
“Judging from the excite-ment and passion that I sawfrom their fans in Philippi to-day, there is no doubt in mymind that Chippa United willenjoy great support from thefootball family.”
