Sorting the good from the badTERESA FISCHER

‘WE HATE Tuesdays,” saysPinelands resident Leigh

Goldschmidt, who complainsthat a recycling project is at-tracting vagrants to the suburb.

She raised the issue at a policemeeting a few weeks ago, and sincethen it has become apparent thatthere is some confusion surround-ing the service.

The project aims to empower un-employed, homeless people in thearea. These informal collectors arepaid per kilogramme for recyclableitems. It is a pilot project of the Cityof Cape Town’s “Think Twice”scheme – a free household rubbishrecycling project. The contractor,Waste Plan, won a tender for theproject, which was rolled out in theHelderberg, Melkbosstrand, andPinelands in November 2007.

Participating households are

able to put their recyclable wasteinto a free City-issued bag and placethis in their wheelie bins on theusual collection days. The baggedrecyclables are then collected byWaste Plan for reprocessing.

As part of an empowerment pro-gramme, unemployed people are al-so paid to help recover recyclablematerials fromwheelie binsbelong-ing to non-participating homes.

According to Goldschmidt, thesepeople have recently become “veryaggressive”, and create a huge messas they scratch through both rub-bish bins and the plastic bags inthem, picking out what they want.

“It is horrific; they swear andshout and carry on. Our dogs go bal-listic for hours on end,” she saysadding this “drives residents wild”.

She says Pinelands residents areall very disciplined when sortingrecyclables from waste, and thatshe does support the initiative.

But, she says she would rather

not have people rummagingthrough her rubbish and mixing itall together.

She has also spotted piles of theplastic bags, filled with recyclablewaste, in a field close to the Pine-lands business park.

“Whoever is running the project,and getting money for it, must man-age the project properly,” she says.

Tina Krynauw, Waste Planspokesperson, confirms that home-less people are paid to collect recy-clable material – but the “wholeidea” is that they only search thebins of non-participating homes –those without the clear plastic bags.“But its easier to scratch throughthe recycling bag,” she adds, sayingit has been difficult to prevent this.“It is giving us grey hairs; it will bean ongoing challenge.”

According to ward councillor Bri-an Watkyns, vagrants sometimeseven take the whole bag of recycla-ble material.

According to Krynauw, WastePlan works with 15 to 30 people perarea – and that these have been inthe areas from the beginning.

Dewald Vermeulen of Waste Planworks directly with the informalcollectors. Part of his job is to col-lect the clear plastic bags with hisbakkie and trailer, but, togetherwith his wife, he also provides spir-itual guidance and an occasionalmeal to the homeless.

Vermeulen says: “Everybody ischucking them out, but they arepart of the solution. Where’s thecompassion?”

By way of example, he points outthat 61 tonnes of recyclable materi-al were collected in Table View inone month. “Ek connect lekker methulle man; ons probeer help waarons kan,” says Vermeulen, whosays residents should try to “makeroom in their hearts” for the collec-tors, who work hard “net vir n hal-we loaf en n kat kop – that is, a bit

of polony for their bread”.The collectors who were part of

the project were initially identifiedwith bibs, but many have sincestopped wearing these bibs, or haveapparently misplaced them.

Watkyns comments: “Generallyspeaking, the recycling project isvery successful in the Pinelands ar-ea. But informal collectors notlinked to the project do cause prob-lems in pockets, resulting in nu-merous complaints.

“Over a roughly three years,these complaints add up to about100 emails over the year. Law En-forcement is notified of these prob-lem areas. At a recent police meet-ing it was decided that trolleys,which are stolen from shoppingcentres, would be confiscated. Ihave already seen an improvementsince this decision was made.”

Elusive ‘Eric’ arrestedINVESTIGATION by the Rondebosch po-lice led to the arrest of somebody thoughtto be the con man known as “Eric” in thevicinity of Wynberg on Wednesday lastweek.

This follows a number of complaints bythe community about a man who had ap-proached them to “borrow” an extensioncord under the pretext of being employed tocut down trees.

He often identified himself as “Eric”. Onceinside a mark’s yard, he would ask to use thebathroom; while the owner of the house wassetting up the extension lead, he would stealwhatever he could get his hands on.

The arrested suspect, aged 34, is wanted onseveral cases of this nature in the Clare-mont, Mowbray and Rondebosch, and was toappear in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Courtyesterday (Monday).

• Intensive investigation by detectives atRondebosch Police Station led to a break-through when they arrested a 50-year-oldman in Observatory earlier this month inconnection with the murder of Ahmed Mo-hammed, whose body was discovered duringthe early hours of Tuesday morning, 31 Au-gust. (“Stab victim identified”, People’s Post,6 September).

Mohammed, who lived in Parkwood Courtin Rondebosch, was found dead on the pave-

ment alongside Liesbeek Parkway on Tues-day 31 August. The arrested suspect hassince appeared in the Wynberg Magistrate’sCourt on a charge of murder, and is now outon bail.

• On Sunday at 21:30, three men, one armedwith a gun, entered a shop in Main Road inClaremont, posing as customers.

Once inside, the men held up the shopowner and ordered him to direct them to thesafe. While the robbers were removing cashfrom the safe, the owner used the opportuni-ty to flee from the store.

The men, cash in hand, then fled the scenein a getaway vehicle parked nearby.

A while later, Claremont police officers onroutine patrol around Newlands pulled overa grey Toyota, at the corner of Protea andParadise Roads.

Two of the people in the car leapt out andsprinted away, but the officers managed tocapture the driver.

A search of the car yielded a gun and anundisclosed amount of cash.

Police appeal to anyone who can helpcatch the other two suspects to contact theinvestigating officer, Detective SergeantQuinton Matthee, on (021) 557-2266 or CrimeStop on 08600 10111.

The arrested suspect, aged 46, will makean appearance at the Wynberg Magistrate’sCourt today.

Domestic locked in showerTHE Rondebosch police are urgently seek-ing the assistance of the community in trac-ing jewellery that was stolen during a houserobbery in Sandown Road.

The incident occurred on Friday 9 Septem-ber at 11:30, when, it is understood, four menforced their way into a home and held up adomestic worker.

The men threatened to shoot the womanif she did not comply with their instructions,and then went on to ransack the house. Theyfled the scene with several items of jewel-lery.

A Rondebosch City Improvement Districtspokesperson says the homeowner arrivedto find her traumatised domestic workertied up and locked in a bathroom. Shephoned her husband, who in turn called anADT patrol vehicle.

Investigators are not yet sure how the rob-bers got into the home. Officers urge people

to be on the lookout for the stolen jewellery,and call on any people who may have seenfour black men – two of whom were clad inblack leather jackets, blue jeans and whitegloves – running from a house in SandownRoad, to call Detective Constable MarlonMarias at Rondebosch Police Station on(021) 685-7345 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

ism – and Leslie has all of that.”The board thanks Mkhize for his contri-

bution as acting CEO of Proudly South Af-rican over the last two years, and acknowl-edges his dedication and hard work.

can is all about buying local to create jobs,and it’s now become my task to unlock thekeys that will actively mobilise all SouthAfricans, big and small businesses, andstate organs around buying local to createjobs in South Africa.”

Transplanting inspirationA TRANSPLANT survivor and

his fiancée have just re-turned from a four-month tourthrough Africa, during whichthey spread hope and raisedawareness about organ donation.

On their journey, dubbed “Peak toPeak Africa”, they travelled fromMount Sinai in Egypt to Table Moun-tain on behalf of the African trans-plant community.

Starting in May, Capetonians AlanMolenaar – who received a kidneyfrom his mother two years ago – andLeanne Johannson passed through13 African countries using publictransport, visiting hospitals andmeeting with health professionalsand transplant patients around thecontinent to publicise the WorldTransplant Games, which South Af-rica won the bid to host in Durbanin 2013.

The aim of the trip was to demon-strate firsthand the quality of lifethat can be led after an organ trans-plant, and to raise general aware-ness about kidney disease and organdonation. The pair also raised mon-ey to assist African transplant pa-tients get to the 2013 World Trans-plant Games.

They say the trip was both heart-breaking and inspiring: They visitedhospitals struggling with incrediblylimited resources and contendingwith all sorts of economic and politi-cal barriers – but they also witnessedenormous resilience and creativityby both health professionals and pa-tients.

There have already been positiveoutcomes from their trip. Inspiredby their visit, Dr Yewondwossen inEthiopia founded the Ethiopian Kid-

ney Foundation, while some Ugan-dan kidney patients they met inKampala are forming the UgandaKidney Patients’ Association.

A blog post they wrote about a cou-rageous Ethiopian transplant pa-tient generated much interest, andthey managed to secure funds for allhis medical expenses for the nextyear. They have also been speakingto transplant patients about theWorld Transplant Games 2013, andthis will hopefully mean that a moreAfrican teams will participate.

“Life isn’t always easy, and it’sharder when you’ve been sick whilegrowing up,” says Molenaar, whoadds that he and Johannson actually

met doctors who had trained at CapeTown’s Red Cross Children’s Hospi-tal. “Travelling was quite hard – see-ing all the diseases and infections af-fecting people all over Africa.”

Peak to Peak drew to a close whenthe duo visited the renal unit at RedCross Children’s Hospital on Friday9 September, where Molenaar spentmany of his childhood days. On Sat-urday 10 September they hiked upTable Mountain and met friends andfamily at the top. Molenaar hopes toqualify for high and long jump in theWorld Transplant Games.

All about aquatic adventurersWhen the going gets roughSEVERAL South Peninsula youngstersare pitting themselves against nature ina brand new environmentally-themed re-ality that hit television sets across SAyesterday (Monday).

Produced by Insync Productions forSABC 2, “Roughing itOut”putskids throughtheir pacesby testing theirmental andphysi-cal skills in the face of adrenaline-fuelled ecochallenges, removing contestants from thecomfort of urban living and putting themback into nature.

Each week will see two teams of four chil-dren (aged between 10 and 13) attempt to“out-rough” their opponents in challenges ofendurance, strength, agility, problem solv-ing, teamwork, dexterity and determination.

To win those all-important points that willtake them closer to being crowned the ulti-mate “Rough Kids”, the teams will be racingthrough tree-top canopies, sandboardingdown some of South Africa’s largest dunes,diving with great white sharks, tracking inthe Karoo, rock climbing, abseiling and eve-rything in between.

Importantly, they’ll also learn about con-servation issues affecting our planet andtheir future.

“‘Roughing it Out’ promises to push thekids to the limit whilst engaging them withtheir environments, not to mention theweird and wonderful creatures encounteredalong the way!” a spokesperson says.

The show’s 26 episodes will play out everyMonday at 16:40 on SABC 2.

TOUGH STUFF: Some of the contestants of “Roughing it Out” hail from Cape Town.

The importance of our heritageHANRIE BOSCH

WITH 12 official public holi-days dotted around our

South African calendar, whatmakes Heritage Day on 24 Sep-tember more than just anotherpublic holiday and an excuse tohave a braai?

Giving a deeper meaning to whathas become “just another publicholiday” in one of the most cultural-ly diverse countries in the world isSticks Mdimba, who has been ac-tive in the arts almost his entire life– he’s a poet, actor, writer, self-pro-claimed cultural activist and, since2007, head of Indigenous Arts at theArtscape Theatre. “Indigenous artforms assist young people in know-ing where they come from, andwhere they are going and growing

towards,” says Mdimba. “You cannever tell your mother that she isnot your mother, and the same goesfor your culture.”

The biggest market for South Af-rican cultural events and exportsstill lies in Europe, Mdimba says,but he hopes, through Artscape’sImvelo Festival in Heritage Month,“to create local awareness and en-thusiasm about what it means to bea proud South African” and get peo-ple to “take cognisance of whatcomes from Africa”.

Mdimba feels the biggest issuefacing the protection and growth ofSouth African culture and heritageis the globalisation of Americanpop culture. “Youngsters look likea lost generation – they have no cul-ture, but look to American TV forreference. We need to talk moreabout our own culture, and TV and

radio should look inside to our ownnation.”

Mdimba says the performing artsare a powerful tool that can be usedto reconcile and unite a nation, andprovide youngsters and adults alikewitha creative outlet. “Through thearts we can decolonise our mindsand find the common ground onwhich our rich heritage is built. Weneed to celebrate our diversity, asthis is the thing that will pull us to-gether.”

Having spent much of his life inthe limelight, Mdimba is also astrong advocate of the financialbenefits offered by a career in thearts. “Parents should let childrendo arts as a profession,” he says.“Pavarotti became a billionaire be-cause of his voice, and so can ourchildren.”

Mdimba adds that the performing

arts are the perfect way to direct the“minds and energies” of the youth.

The Imvelo Festival is more thanjust another clichéd representationof African arts, culture and herit-age – “it is a way for young peopleto relate to their origins, and not tolook back and criticise what waswrong or right, but to realise theirworth and appreciate it”, saysMdimba. “Through this festival wewill be celebrating our living leg-ends and take cognisance of wherewe have come from in South Africa,before it is too late.”

The Imvelo Festival kicked off on3 September at the Langa Civic Hallin an explosion of jazz styles withthe Jazz Big Band Extravaganza.

“Ibhekile Evuzayo”, a musicalstory about the rite of passage ofmanhood of young Xhosa men, is onuntil Saturday at the Artscape Are-

na. Tickets cost R50 with student,pensioner and block booking dis-counts available. Jazz legendVictorNtoni, meanwhile, will be perform-ing at the Artsacpe Theatre on Fri-day and Saturday. The act will notonly feature the cool cat himself,but some of Cape Town’s best up-and-coming jazz musicians. Theshow starts at 20:00 and tickets costR80.

The “Choral Sounds” concert willalso take place at Artscape Theatreon Sunday, with a lineup of tradi-tional songs, sounds and customsdrawn from South Africa’s variousethnic groups. The show starts at15:00, and tickets cost R50; pension-ers and block bookings go for R30,and block student bookings costR25. For ticket bookings contactComputicket or ArtScape Dial-a-Seat on (021) 421-7695.

Heritage aliveTHIS weekend local will be lekker and weSouth Africans, will celebrate that whichmakes us all unique people of the South.

Ja, vryf maar blink daai vuvuzelas becausein four days time we honour who we are, nowith no frills, and some fuss, as is probablytypical of South Africans.

Heritage Day on 24 September, may to someseem arbitrary, and to others only a conven-ient excuse for another public holiday, but inreality it is really a time to reflect on thosewho have come before us, what we are, andwho we want to be.

With Africa recognised as the “cradle ofmankind,” it seems only fitting that we liveup to holding our heritage dear, recognisingcultural significance in our own lives.

What is South African culture though? Andare the traditions and beliefs of our forefa-thers something valuable and relevant for thefuture?

South African culture is diverse. Every oneof them valuable and important in their ownright.

During the World Cup in 2010 we localsseemed visibly proud of who we are as a peo-ple and country.

Mirror socks were out in full force, andeven local jalopies took to the streets sooswatse presidential cars, proudly donningSouth African flags.

So this weekend why not show a bit of thesame patriotism?

Tied in with Braai Day – an activity mostSouth Africans are more than familiar with,why not commemorate your past and toastthe future by tossing a chop or two on thecoals.

Our heritage and culture has in some wayshaped the people we are today, and as SouthAfricans we have never been better equippedto make our mark in the global arena, andthereby leave a new legacy, which will oneday in turn become someone else’s heritage.

Spur closures ‘no surprise’THE recent demise of the two SpurSteakhouses as reported in People’sPost of 13 September under theheadline “Steakhouse loses its siz-zle” did not surprise me. The smallsize of the burgers, the small help-ing of french-fries, and the fact thatthe meal was usually almost coldwhen served resulted in my partyof four adults patronising other res-taurants instead. For a similarprice, a tasty and much larger burg-er, with a decent helping of french-fries, plus a few trimmings, all

served hot, was available else-where. The magic of Spur was gone.

The price of aerated drinks beingcharged by most restaurants is out-rageous.

Some charge as much as R18 fora glass of Coke, which is availablefrom most retail suppliers for R5 toR6 for a 350ml container. But thatis another story.HAROLDClaremontPierre van Tonder, managing directorof the Spur Corporation, declined tocomment.

Kudos for Pinelands policeI HAD to deal with the police inPinelands when my car was stolenand subsequently recovered. Ifound the police competent, courte-ous, professional and enthusiasticabout their work. I received SMSesand telephone calls from them asthe case unfolded, keeping me up to

date. My experience at their Stik-land yard, when the car was recov-ered, was just as positive. So, hatsoff to the men and women in blueand those in plain clothes in thisneighbourhood!ALEXANDER CLARKPinelands

Lock down the cover-up!I DO NOT understand the thinkingof Telkom. I have had cables stolenin my area at least three times inthe last year, which leaves us with-out a line phone and no ADSL linefor up to three weeks, which is veryinconvenient.MyproblemwithTel-kom is, when they replace the ca-bles, they put back the same man-

hole covers, instead of covers thatthey can lock. The locked coverswill make it very difficult forthieves to repeat the theft of cables.Surely an investment in covers thatcan be locked will save Telkomthousands of rands.NOEL HENDRICKSMuizenberg

. Emergency numbers shouldbe short numbers and not 10 digits.You are already in a state of trau-ma and shaking like a wind-blownleaf. Your mind is in turmoil, thenyou still have to dial 10 digits! Bythen you could be killed! Why not911 or a similar short number fora quick response?

. The crime stats excluded roadcrimes such as culpable homicide,drunk driving and speeding. Theseare major crimes so why the coverup? –People’s Post selected certaincrimes for its tables and articles.For a more comprehensive run-down, visit www.saps.gov.za.

. I agree with Mr Blake aboutcharity beginning at home. If youwent to the Eastern Cape, youwould be surprised by this, but inthe Western Cape it’s a shame. NFadane, Samora Machel

. Why does the article on pagesix refer to “the holy month of Ra-madaan” instead of “a month holyto Muslims”? After all, people ofother faiths don’t regard Ram-adaan as holy. James Rawlings

By the way. How about more women’s rug-

by adverts? There are so many soc-cer adverts but no rugby. The SAWomen’s Rugby team played in

Canada and no advert wasscreened, but the women’s socceris promoted.

. Sick of speeding taxis? Watchthem in the mornings between05:30 and 06:30. They even raceeach other and give you the middlefinger if you point at them. HR

. Little moral progress will bemade in this country while its lead-ership believes in superstition.Stephen

Nakhlistan feeds all. Damocles, Muslims pay tax –

Zakaah – annually to Nakhlistanand other NGOs to feed all. You arefree to support it too so that thewhole rainbow nation may be fedall year round!

. Damocles, Nakhlistan doesn’tchoose race, colour or religion,

they feed one and all.Nakhlistan is dependant on do-

nations and it is mainly the Mus-lims and Indians who donate tothis organisation. Maybe if youand many more contribute to-wards Nakhlistan they would beable to feed the poor all year round!Amien

. Damocles, Nakhlistan has nocreed, colour or race. They feed thenation. Creation lover

. Damocles, investigate beforeyou open your big mouth. WatchCTV and see who dominate thequeues. All year round Nakhlistanfeeds all spectrums of the rainbownation with food parcels! What doyou do?

. Nakhlistan does feed all yearround and no, they do not only feedMuslims.

They cover the entire spectrumof the rainbow and those in be-tween. Support them and they willbe able to feed even more. Nadya

. Damocles, you are an idiot. Na-khlistan feeds anyone who needs aplate of food. Why don’t you go totheir website and educate yourselfbefore saying silly things?

Doggone shame. I cannot believe that my two-

month-old puppy was stolen fromour home. It’s disgusting and lowclass.

You should have asked whosedog it was, you fool. I hope he bitesyou.

. Dogs that bark at anything andnothing are certainly no deterrent.It’s a better idea to call Law En-forcement.

Turfhall on the ball with faceliftLYNN PRINS

A CONFIDENT local organis-ing committee, alongside

chairperson Noore Nacerodien,have said construction work iscoming along well at TurfhallStadium despite the rain.

The Turfhall Softball Stadium isundergoing an extensive facelift,and is to get a new secondary com-petition field , compliments of theproject’s major partner, the City ofCape Town (“Softball tourney planson track”, People’s Post, 16 August).

“I think the contractors are su-perb,” Nacerodien says. “Today

[Friday] I went and I could see theprogress taking place. Unfortunate-ly, the rain held back outside work,such as the dugouts, but the fieldsare looking good.”

Nacerodien says major internalworks are being done, with a newchange room for umpires, an up-graded medical facility, a new pres-ident’s lounge, and many othersmaller improvements, like newdoors and windows.

“The only setback that will havea negative impact on the event isthe lack of funds,” Nacerodien says.“Approaches were made to 52 topcorporates in our country, with allbut two declining to get involved in

the event – an event that fits perfect-ly into the transformation of ourcountry’s young women.”

Nacerodien’s makes no effort totemper his bitterness on the matter:“While we areall patriotictowards ournationalteams, likethe Spring-boks, the com-panies that survive from the manon the street cast aside the so-called‘minnow’ sports.

“The young South African ladyfeels as thrilled to represent hercountry as Bakkies Botha.”

Still, Nacerodien and the rest ofthe committee are adamant theywill be able to represent an event ofthe highest standards, and he be-lieves the event will build on the

profile SouthAfrica devel-oped with the2010 FootballWorld Cup.

TurfhallStadium,

home of Western Province Softballin Crawford, Athlone, will hostteams from 16 countries for 11 daysduring the ninth Junior Women’sWorld Championship (JWWC), tak-ing place from Wednesday 7 until

Saturday 17 December.“With 77 days to go, the vibe is

starting to show amongst the soft-ball family inCapeTownandacrossthe country”, Nacerodien adds.

The local organising committeesays the new and improved Turf-hall Softball Complex will be aworld-class facility to be proud of,and will be protected against van-dalism.

The planned date for the comple-tion and handover of the facility tothe JWWC local organising com-mittee is 12 November, with localsuper league games taking place onSaturday 19 and Saturday 26 No-vember to test the surface.

Kirsten’s pledge to future legendsMICHAEL DOMAN

WORLD CUP-winningIndia coach Gary

Kirsten recently launched acricket scholarship in hisname at his alma mater,Rondebosch Boys’ HighSchool.

Kirsten, speaking at New-lands’ Kelvin Grove Club lastweek during a fundraising din-ner for the scholarship, said hefelt he had to make a contribu-tion to the flourishing cultureof cricket at the school.

The former Proteas openingbatsman and new Proteascoachhas committed tomakingan annual contribution to thescholarship, which he hopedwould enable a promisingcricketer who would not other-wise be able to afford the feesat his alma mater to get an edu-cation there.

“I had an absolutely magnifi-cent 12 years at the prep schooland high school, so if there isa cricketer who shows poten-tial, maybe he can also experi-

ence 12 fantastic years there,”Kirsten added.

Kirsten was coach of the In-dia team that on home soil beatSri Lanka in the World Cup fi-nal in April this year.

He did not renew his contractbecause he wished to spendmore time with his family,and was then appointed coachof theSouthAfrican teamin themiddle of the year.

Reminiscing about his timeat Rondebosch Boys’, Kirstensaid his father Noel had alwaysadvised him to play team sports– although he was also a talent-ed squash and tennis player.

“[In team sports] you end upplaying for the [school] badgeand representing more thanjust yourself,” he added.

This team ethic was at playeven at international level, saidKirsten, illustrating the pointwith an example from his timewith India, which has alwaysboasted an array of talented in-dividuals.

“In 2008 India was rankedfourth in the world in test andone-day cricket.

“I had a chat with the teamand asked them why they wereso average.

“The bottom line was theywere not playing for this,” hesaid, pointing to the schoolbadge.

“In threeyears Indiahadhar-nessed their collective skills toattain the number one rankingin test” – until their recent se-ries defeat to England – “andwin the 2011 World Cup.”

Aside from his national du-ties, Kirsten is also involved inestablishing a cricket academyat the Claremont Cricket Clubgrounds in Constantia.

One aim of this project is toprovide indoor practice facili-ties.

“It is a dream of mine to builda quality indoor centre; youneed one to practice in winter.

“Hopefully with some decentfunding and sponsorship, wecan build a decent one.”

The simple rules of rugby 103LYNN PRINS

A SUPERB display of rugby on Saturday hasSpringbok supporters on a definite high –the Boks really showed how champions playthe game.

Great rugby was played overall on Satur-day, with even Ireland coming to the partyand beating Australia, making for the firstupset of the tournament.

And all the Boks played with heart, work-ing to defend their title as the champs, andsecured a victory against Fiji.

The weekend’s rugby was uncharacteris-tic.

New Zealand annihilated Japan 83-7 onFriday, Argentina whipped Romania 43-8 onSaturday, with Ireland beating Australia15-6 on the same day.

On Sunday, France thrashed Canada 46-19after a fierce battle, England beat Georgia 41-10, and Wales fought hard for a 17-10 victoryagainst Samoa.

With all the excitement underway, Peo-ple’s Posthopes the rules explained lastweekcame in handy, since the matches featuredquite a few rucks and mauls.

This week People’s Post will focus onknock-ons, offside, and forward passes.

Knock-onsThese occur when a player accidentally

mishandle the ball and knocks it forwardwith his hands or arms.

The player is allowed to try and regaincontrol. If he can catch it before it touchesanother player or the ground, he can play on.

Otherwise it is a “knock-on” and play maybe stopped. In a position where possession

of the ball is lost, a scrum is set, with the non-offending team getting the scrum feed. If youintentionally knock on, you may be penal-ised. If what you did prevents a probable try,a penalty try may be awarded.

Offside:A player is offside in general play if he is

in front of a teammate who is carrying theball, or in front of a teammate who lastplayed the ball. The aim is to stay behind theball.

Forward pass:Occurs when an illegal pass is thrown to

a player who is ahead of the ball; a playeris not allowed to pass the ball forward to ateammate.
