ATLANTIC SEABOARD CITY EDITION

“Tel l ing it as it is”

TAURIQ HASSEN

BO-KAAP residents are plan-ning to take on the Film Commis-sion after snippets from an ac-tion series depicted the commu-nity in the “wrong light”.

The series, Strike Back, showedsnippets of Bo-Kaap in a scenewhere terrorists were being chasedby American CIA agents.

Bo-Kaap Civic Association chair-person, Osman Shaboodien, claimthat the snippets “forced residentsto become with furious with theFilm Commission”.

“We cannot stand for this and wewould like answers. We are takingfurther action and standing up forthe area we live in,” says Shaboodi-en.People’s Post attempted to find

the episode, but was unsuccessful.An advert earlier this year, shot

by MTN, saw Longmarket Streetturned intoagiant slide,wheremenand women were jumping around,sending out the message that sum-mer is around the corner.

Shaboodien explains: “If you lookat that advert, there were womenjumping around in bikinis and thepeople were going on like crazy.That is not Bo-Kaap and that is nothow this area should be captured.”

He adds that Bo-Kaap has a set ofguidelines when it comes to filmingwhich includes people having to bedressed appropriately, no liquor ad-vertisements can be filmed, themosques cannot be used as back-drops and residents must be givennotice in advance.

This has forced the hand of the as-sociation, who have arranged apublic meeting with Bo-Kaap resi-dents to discuss the issue and takea firm decision to declare a memo-randum.Theassociation is current-ly tackling the “illegal bar” on thecorner of Buitengracht and Walestreets, Abuntu Restaurant andBar, with court proceedings set toget underway today.

After no communication washeld with residents, the Bo-Kaap

community decided to take a stand,engaging in week-long protests out-side the premises and communitymarches, prompting the associa-tion to take the matter to the CapeHigh Court (“Battle heads to court”,People’s Post, 4 September).

CEO for the Cape Film Commis-sion, Dennis Lilly, feels that the in-ternational audience “will not rec-ognise Bo-Kaap”.

“I have seen both these screen-ings and Bo-Kaap is a really nice

and colourful area to use, but I hon-estly believe that only residentsfrom that area will recognise Bo-Kaap,” says Lilly.

He explains that the Film Com-mission only monitors the filmingand ensures that crews sticks topermit regulations. He adds thatthe commission acts as an interfacebetween the film industry and thelocal government.

Lilly says: “I don’t think you willhave people complaining if they

were shootingamovie inNewYork;you see this all the time.”

Ward councillor Dave Bryantwas not aware of the claims madeby the association about scenes be-ing used in Strike Back.

However, he says: “If these scenesare offensive to the area, then Iwould also be upset about this mat-ter.”

He feels that the MTN advert alsodid not depict Bo-Kaap in the “rightway”.

Bryant says: “We have raised thismatter at subcouncil and the FilmCommission has informed us theywill be embarking on a more pre-ventative approach in future.” Ac-cording to Bryant, applicants applyfor a permit with the City of CapeTown, which then gets forwarded toresidents for comment.

He says: “If there is somethingthat will cause a large disturbanceto the area, we will say no to the ap-plication.”

Dear reader,

I once again dedicate my column to mybeautiful, courageous mother who passedaway 17 days ago after living with breastcancer for years.

I also dedicate this column to all thosewho have lost their mothers and to everyindividual and organisation championingthe fight against cancer.

This is the most difficult piece of writingI’ve had to do in my 20-year career and Iam writing every word with a broken heartthat yearns for my mother.

The day my mom died, my en-tire world ceased to exist and af-ter two weeks of unbridledgrieving, my pain at losing mybeloved mother is as intense asthe day she was diagnosed withcancer. I am not alone in myloss as my mother left behind alegacy of love, generosity, inspi-ration and tenacity.

In our home, she advocatedthe importance of spiritualityand education. She touched the lives ofmany – often in ways her husband and sixchildren learned of only after her death.

My mother inspired her younger sisterto work and make her own money in an erawhen women stayed at home. My motheralways had kind words to say about others,regularly sent monetary gifts to themosque, offered a warm meal and groceriesto anyone who stepped into our home andalways gave the gift of her smile, evenwhen she had the most excruciating pain.

I was blessed to have slept beside mymother the last night of her life and to re-

main with her until the end.This was painful, but I would not have

had it any other way.The day before my mother died, many of

her neighbours visited and said prayers ather bedside.

Nearly every one left crying.This is how my mother touched lives.

Yes, she was a fiery, strong, independent,smart woman who achieved her goals andwho, even throughout her illness, re-mained the matriarch, giving her familyclear directives.

At the same time, my motherwas a soft, loving, deeply-caringwife, mother, grandmother,great-grandmother, sister,aunt, friend and neighbour.

My family and I continue todraw strength from one anoth-er, and from the torrent of love,support and compassion fromrelatives, friends and col-leagues – for which we are verygrateful.

Among the many beautifulmessages we’ve received, were these poign-ant words: “My mother is the keeper of mychildhood and the historian of my life...”

The keeper of my childhood is gone; thatchapter of my life has closed.

My mother was my mummy, my bestfriend, my role model, my confidante, myfan, my financial advisor, my counsellor.

She loved me in a way no other can andwill. I have been truly blessed and hon-oured to have had her as my mother andwill continue to love and cherish her andmy memories of her, forever.

Till next time, go well!

THE festive season is just around the cor-ner,whichmeansbar andnightclubswillbe packed to the rafters.

However, this also brings about fears thatliquor licences will be contravened and po-lice will be working overtime in order to ad-dress the matter.CapeTownCluster police got an early start

when they recently held crime preventionoperations at various nightclubs, bars andlounges in the City Bowl.Captain Ezra October, spokesperson for

Cape Town Central police, explains that theaim of the operation was to expose clubsmanagers for failing to display liquor licenc-es, maintain fire extinguishers and to com-ply with community fire safety bylaws andpopulation certificates.He says: “Major-General Abraham Goss

has warned club and lounge owners to com-ply with their liquor licence conditions, asnon-compliancewill result in issuing of finesand closing down business premises.”Clubs and lounges in Long, Shortmarket

and Loop streets were inspected by the SAPSProvincial FirearmandLiquorUnit,with as-sistance from theCity of CapeTown’s LiquorSquad and various other security role play-

ers.During the inspection, police managed to

hand out fines to the value of R8 300 and alsoarrest two suspects for drug dealing in LongStreet after being found with dagga valuedat R1 000.“The festive season zero tolerance plans

will be a continuation of strategic integratedcrime prevention operations with securitypartners,” says October.The inspection acted as a real “eye-open-

er” for some club owners, who already start-ed ensuring everything around their estab-lishments were in place to accommodate thefestive crowds.Jonathan Andrews, a club owner in the

City Bowl, had his fair share of fines andshutdowns in the past, but has learnt a “valu-able lesson”.“Many times these club owners do not un-

derstand that police has a function to serveand protect,” he says.“So when they stroll in here, handing out

fines and even arresting people, they aremerely just doing their jobs and we as own-ers must ensure there is nothing for them tocapitalise on.”During last year, Andrews’ club was

slapped with a R3 000 fine for contraveninghis liquor licence regulations when his clubremained open for an hour longer.

He says: “It was a real blow tomy businessand top of that I could not open the followingnight. So we felt like naughty children.”Another bar owner in Long Street, Farrell

Richards, has already has his businessclosed down twice in the space of one yearandhas also startedmaking sure a third time“will not happen”.He says: “If you don’t learn a lesson from

the first two times, then you probably do notdeserve to be running a club or bar on thisfamous strip in Cape Town. Because believeme, they (police) will come around and catchyou out.”Richards’ bar was closed the first time be-

cause of rowdy patrons and the second timefor not having adequate safety exits in caseof an emergency.“I will definitely be making sure they (po-

lice) haveno reasons to shutmedown,”Rich-ards says.October warned club, bar and lounge own-

ers: “CapeTownClusterwill have regular In-tegrated Crime Prevention operations fo-cused on all these establishments within theCBD during the festive season.”

EACH day is a precious gift forRezaPriceandhis familyas theyanxiously await news of a bonemarrow donor who could givehim new life.

The 15-year-old has weekly andbi-weekly blood transfusions at theRed Cross Children’s Hospital.

After the transfusions he feelswell enough to go to school, but of-ten feels too ill to continue lessons.

In the Price home, in Pinati Es-tate, there is a sense of underlyingcalm which is closely guarded byhis mother Zeenat. This despite theever-increasing odds buildingagainst her eldest son.

Four years ago, the Price familyhad their world turned upsidedown when Reza, then 12, was diag-nosed with Aplastic Anaemia in September2009.

His sister Leila was the first to notice some-thing was wrong when she saw him slumpedover in the back seat of the car. She thoughthe was playing the fool and poked him in theribs.

This evoked no response from Reza, and hewas rushed to hospital. Tests showed his

platelet count was dangerously low. This isone of the symptoms of Aplastic Anaemia, arare condition where the body does not pro-duce sufficient new blood cells to replenishexisting blood cells.

Reza’s condition has now become so severethat he is completely reliant on blood trans-fusions, which cost a fortune.

The teenager remains upbeat and shows

strength of character. Reza says hereally misses not being able to enjoya good game of cricket or soccerwith his friends, and because of hisillness, he has had to stay away fromparties and gatherings. He can’t riskcompromising his immune systemby getting an infection. He also hasto be extremely careful of physicalcontact because of his low plateletcount.

For people who are diagnosedwith Aplastic Anaemia, one of theanswers is to have a bone marrowtransplant – however, the donormust be a near match.

Both Reza’s siblings, as well as hisparents and most of his close rela-tives have been tested, but none area match for Reza.

The Sunflower Fund recruits po-tential bone marrow stem cell do-nors to help patients like Reza and

many others in need of a life-saving match.A bone marrow drive is being held for Reza

in the foyer of the Vineyard Hotel in New-lands on Bandana Day, Friday 12 October,from 07:00 to 10:00.

Anyone wanting to know about becominga bone marrow donor can contact the Sun-flower Fund on 0800 121 082 or visitwww.sunflowerfund.org.za.

BEING asked to journal the Journey of HopeBreast Cancer Ride 2012 is an opportunity ofa lifetime. I accept that God chose this experi-ence to connect on a personal level withbreast cancer survivors.

Journey of Hope 2012 is a motorcycle rideundertaken by, among others, a group ofbreast cancer survivors. The ride kicked offon Saturday 6 October from Amanzingwe inBroederstroom, through the Eastern FreeState, KZN and then into Ushaka Marine-world in Durban on Saturday 13 Octoberwhere it will end. The aim of the ride is toraise awareness of breast cancer and funds,as well as spread a message of hope.

I dedicate this journey to my friends ElainePage and Helen Stutz, and to the memory ofAhmina Miller and Mariam Abbass.

On this journey I met a man and women– each with their own story of how the dis-ease has impacted their lives, and those offamilies and friends.

Breast cancer survivor Zelda Erasmus hasa path of faith, perseverance, support andlove. Helena Nell’s path has taught her lifeis preparation for eternity; to grab life withboth hands and make it count. Her story isone of hardship as she lost a son to cancer.She believes there’s no place for cancer inher life; her saying is that she lives at 1 DefeatStreet. Cancer, she says, needs to be foughton a mental and spiritual level and she hasno fear; she fears only God! Kathy Malherbehopes to help at least one woman to save herlife. Each day is a blessing for Heleen Scholtz.Lorraine Leburu lived a healthy, disciplinedlife and never believed cancer was for herpeople. Now her story is a testimony, a chan-nel and a vessel to many. Nonki Rampoporobelieved cancer would never affect her as itwas an elderly people’s disease. Now she be-lieves God is bigger and He can destroy thedisease. She refuses to live in negativity and

chooses to embrace life. Julie Kemp, wholoves biking, inspires women through herpublic speaking. She will take her story glo-bally to educate people on the plight of can-cer. Timothy Mlenje never thought of breastcancer when he found a lump in his breast.His advice is that everyone is vulnerable,check your body and report anythingstrange. Our 351km journey took us from Jo-hannesburg to Midrand, then Vosloorus,Heidelberg, Villiers, Frankfort and Reitz.Very bad roads took us on to beautiful Bethle-hem – a place with great affinity because ofthe name. It gave me new strength and inspi-ration to tackle the outreach together.

WOMEN should invest intheir own health. That’s themessage the Cancer Associa-tion of South Africa (Cansa)wants to spread as part of itsWomen’s Health campaignthis month.

October is cervical andbreast cancer awarenessmonth. These are the twomost common cancers inSouth Africa. With early de-tection, these cancers can betreated more effectively.

Cansa advises women to ex-amine their breasts once amonth during ovulation forsigns of breast cancer. Wom-en over 40 should have amammogram every two tothree years.

Cansa offers the followingtips to all women on how todetect cancer early:

. Cervical cancer – Go fora Pap smear every two tothree years once sexually ac-tive. Latest statistics indicatethat one in 35 women are diag-nosed in their lifetime.

. Breast cancer – Do breastself-examination once amonth during ovulation (eve-ry seven to 10 days after men-struating) and on the sametime each month. Have amammogram at least everythree years after the age of 40.If undergoing any hormonal

treatment, consult with yourdoctor as earlier screening isrecommended. Latest statis-tics indicate that one in 29women are diagnosed in theirlifetime.

. Ovarian cancer – Earlysymptoms are very non-spe-cific, but include pressure,pain or a bloated abdomen,nausea, indigestion, consti-pation, diarrhoea or feelingtired all the time and some-times heavy bleeding aftermenopause. Be aware of therisk factors. These includehormone replacement thera-py after menopause, obesityand a strong family history ofcancer. Have regular check-ups. The lifetime risk forwomen in South Africa is onein 297.

Call 0800 22 66 22 or visitwww.cansa.org.za for moreinformation.

Wear a National BreastCancer sticker or a pink rib-bon to make a difference inthe lives of women by sup-porting National Breast Can-cer month.

Stickers cost R10 and can bebought from Cansa offices orvisit www.cansa.org.za forCansa’s e-shop. Funds raisedwill be used to enable morecancer screening throughoutthe country.

ORGANISATIONS arebeing called upon by theCity of Cape Town tocome up with the neces-sary funding to estab-lish an assessment cen-tre.

The plan is a valiant at-tempt to address the grow-ing numbers of vagrantswho call the City Bowl andSea Point area home.Sea Point, Fresnaye and

Bantry Bay RatepayersAssociation chairperson,Gary Miller, feels home-less people living in specif-ically Sea Point is one ofthe biggest problems cur-rently facing the suburb.He says the association

had already received anumber of complaintsfrom locals urging councilto tackle the vagrancy is-sues.Resident Sheila Andrews was in the

habit of handing out soup on the prome-nade on a weekly basis, but stopped afternoticing the amount of vagrants increas-ing by the week.“I quickly realised that giving them

hand-outs does not empower them; itmakes them want to stay on the streetsand accept hand-outs. This is why Istopped,” she says.Barry Bloemhof says he understands

how difficult it must be to address va-grancy in an area like Sea Point.With a number of places to seek refuge,

Bloemhof believes the problem around

vagrants “will never be solved” as theproblem is too broad.He explains: “You find vagrants every-

where, between rocks on the beach andeven at the newly-constructed bus stops.I really don’t think there is a solution,other than taking every vagrant, givingthem a job and hoping they will be ableto maintain that lifestyle, which is notlikely to happen.”Ward councillor Beverley Schafer con-

firms that the City is still interested in es-tablishing an assessment centre, and ishoping to attract organisations for fund-ing.

“We understand this is amajor problem not only inSea Point, but in the wholeof Cape Town. This is whywe must find ways to tacklethe vagrant problemand theidea of an assessment centresounds good,” she says.Talk of an assessment cen-

tre being introduced to thearea earlier this year wasplayed down by the City dueto financial constraints.Schafer says: “At the mo-

ment, we are struggling andwe do realise that vagrantsare a problem in Sea Point,but the problems are gener-al and affects most of thecity.”According to Schafer, the

assessment centre wouldcover the needs for the CityBowlandother surroundingareas, taking in vagrantsand assessing their livingconditions.Once their assessments

are complete, these va-grants will then be integrated into pro-grammes in an attempt to re-integratethem into the working society.However, she strongly discourages the

public to have soup kitchens and hand-out stands in the area, as this enables va-grants to continue living life on thestreets.“These actions are not acceptable and

we do understand that certain residentsjust want to do good, but they shouldthink a bit further. Are they really help-ing thesepeople or justmaking their livesa bit more of a convenience on thestreet?” Schafer asks.

Cough up to help vagrantsNEW signage at beaches will outline therules for owners walking their dogs.The City of Cape Town’s Sport, Recreation

and Amenities Department is in the processof installing the signage and appeals to dogwalkers to adhere to the regulations.City LawEnforcement officerswill enforce

the rules according to the new signs.The City says it is imperative that the pub-

lic familiarise themselves with the rules be-fore taking dogs to the beach as these applyto the 72 public beaches in the City’s jurisdic-tion.Key coastal recreation points where the

majority of people gather have been allocatedas dog-free zones. Areas adjacent to thesebeaches or small parts of thenodal areashavebeen used for people who wish to walk theirdogs on the coastline.These areas include Clifton First beach,

Sunset beach in Sea Point andMouille Point.In caseswhere signage is not clear, the pub-

lic is advised to enquire with a beachmanag-er or Law Enforcement officer.

MYCITIPLANSFORSEAPOINT

The introductionofaMyCiTiservicenextyearwill offerresidentsofSeaPoint,BantryBayandFresnayeamuch-improvedpublic transportservice.Routeswill operate fromthenewSeaPointstation,alongBeachRoad,MainRoadandRegentRoad,VictoriaRoadandHighLevelRoad.

One area of concern has been howto achieve the most appropriatelink between Regent and HighLevel roads for the Civic Centre –Fresnaye – Sea Point route. A publicinformation session was held withresidents on 23 July and varioussuggestions were received andconsidered by the City’s transportplanners.

There are now two options underdiscussion, as a result of input fromthe public:

Option 1: Queens RoadThefirst proposal is to convert QueensRoad betweenVictoria andKloof roadsinto a one-way street, with trafficflowtowardsSignalHill. Buseswill travel upQueensRoad, left intoKloof Road, rightintoAvenueDisandt and alongHighLevel Road to the city centre.

There are two proposed options for traffic flow around Queens Road.

The new nine-metre bus will be used on MyCiTi routes around Sea Point.Bus stops and shelters are under construction along Regent Road.

Option 2: Fir AvenueThe second proposal is to retainQueens Road as a two-way streetand reverse the direction of travel innearby Fir Avenue between Victoriaand Kloof roads, which will meanbuses and other traffic travelling inan upward direction towards SignalHill. So, from the Sea Point station,MyCiTi buses will travel up QueensRoad, right into Victoria Road, leftinto Fir Avenue, left into Kloof Road,right into Avenue Disandt and alongHigh Level Road to the city centre.

From the city to Sea PointMyCiTi buses will travel along HighLevel Road down Avenue Disandtand Kei Apple Road, left into RegentRoad and right down Solomons Road,which becomes a one-way street, tothe Sea Point station.

Information sessionInterested residents can attend ameetingwithCity officials to discussthese options. Themeetingwill beheld on 11October 2012 from17:30until 19:00 at thePeninsulaHotel,313BeachRoad, SeaPoint. Pleasecall TholakeleNene on021461-9692or email tholakele@string.co.za if youwould like to attend.

Truck stopIN THE early 1990s, Mitchell’s Plain was cor-doned off by minibus taxis. People weretrapped. Traffic came to a standstill. Roadsled to nowhere. Nobody could get in. Nobodycould get out. Fewwent towork.Allwere heldransom by the unified action of taxi drivers.Thosewere the dyingmoments of the strug-

gle days. People on the Cape Flats know itwell. The country burned; it was a looters’paradise; people got hurt. That was the daytaxis ruled the roads of the biggest Colouredtownship in the country.Fast-forward to the past two weeks. The ac-

tions of truck drivers nationwide now holdthe country captive. Goods are not beingtransported.If the strike by SA Transport and Allied

Workers Union (Satawu) continues, essentialservices will come to a grinding halt. Fewwould remain unaffected by this action.These concerns are already being feared.Availability of rawmaterials formanufactur-ing; goods for essential, life-saving services,like medical equipment; food; packaging. Insome small way – or another – each personwill feel the effects of the truck drivers’ strikeas they hold out for their pay hike demands.The strike is reported to cost the transport

industry R1bn in revenue each week.In the Cape, three people, a child among

them, were hurt and three trucks were setalight. Satawu denies involvement in vio-lence, but has reportedly called on rail andport workers for support of a secondarystrike.It will cripple the country. Somemay be re-

minded of the days when people were encour-aged to hoard baked beans – then in anticipa-tion of the “swart gevaar”, now because theresimply may be no stock to replenish storeshelves.We can build a nation only with like-mind-

ed people. Even so, everyone has the right toa fair salary.Let’s hope the strike comes to a quick con-

clusion.

IN RESPONSE to the article “Brakes put onspeed bumps” (People’s Post, 2 October), I wouldlike to place on record that I dispute the truthof (Green Point Ratepayers’ and Residents’ As-sociation chairperson) Bob Goebel’s statementas published that the residents of CavalcadeRoad are opposed to speed bumps.I would like to know the basis for this state-

ment.I havebeenat the forefront of driving theproc-

ess to obtain speed bumps in Cavalcade Road,as Beverley Schafer our ward councillor willconfirm.I submitted an application to the relevant offi-

cial on her advice, supported by numerous resi-dents in the road.I have lived here for 25 years and my applica-

tion followed the knocking over of a pedestrian,the death of my cat after being run over by aspeeding motorist and several collisions on thecorner outside the building I live in (one whichwrote off the parked car of a friend of mine whowas visiting), all within a short period of eachother.Not one person that I spoke to in Cavalcade

Road was opposed to speed bumps.Goebel, please do not misquote us or speak on

our behalf without our authority.I am not even aware of the question being put

to the residents of Cavalcade Road by theGPRRA, so please name the residents who youare quoting and the authority for your state-ment.We want speed bumps and we want them ur-

gently before another accident takes place.

This road has become a rat run for speedstersand impatient people taking short cuts.We risk life and limb every time we reverse

out of our driveways.GRAHAM SONNENBERGGreen PointChairperson for the Green Point Ratepayers’and Residents’ Association, Bob Goebel, re-sponds: The issue of speed bumps was dis-cussed at an on-site meeting on Wednesday af-ternoon.GrahamSonnenberg andothermembers of theCavalcade Road community were present, to-gether with council officials, the chairpersonof Subcouncil 16, Taki Amira, and our localcouncillor Beverley Shafer.I explained that the GPRRA was opposed tospeed bumps inGreen Point as an overall prin-ciple and the particular reference was to thesection of Cavalcade Road fronting on ReddamHouse School.After an on-foot inspection of the entire lengthof Cavalcade Road it was decided that, in theevent of fundsbeingmadeavailable byCounciland theapproval andcooperationof the school,the following traffic calming action be taken:1. A raised pedestrian crossing be placed at theupper end of Cavalcade Road. The exact posi-tion to be determined by Council officials inconsultation with the school.2.Two speed bumps be placed in the section ofCavalcade Road between York and UpperPortswood roads.3.In consultation with the school, the entranceto the parking area be reconstructed.It is hoped that these measures will prevent are-occurrence of the tragic accident that hap-pened on Cavalcade Road recently and allevi-ate the congestion onYorkanCavalcade roads.

Speed bumps: two sides of coin

This according to coach Mart Nooij, whodescribed his chargers performance againstMpumalanga Black Aces as “disappointing”.The “People’s Team” kicked of their Na-

tional First Division (NDF) campaign with aforgettable display and an unsatisfactory 1-0loss in front of less than 100 people at AthloneStadium on Saturday night.After watching his troops falter against

their much less illustrious opposition, Nooijadmitted that they would need to pick uptheir play this weekend.“There are a lot of things that we still need

to improve on. We are a young and inexperi-enced team with an experienced back bone,but the young ones are determined,” saysNooij.“The performance was a little disappoint-

ing.We started very nervous andwewere notcomfortable on the ball.”Both teams started the game shakily and

played far too many long balls in the opening20 minutes.When the teams finally shook off their ear-

ly season rust and settled into the game,around the 35 minute mark, Santos started todominate possession and territory.After several minutes of patient build-ups,

the hosts fashioned their first chance from acounter-attacking move.Stalwart TyroneArendse put Edwin Sitayi-

tayi through on goal, with a well weightedthrough ball.The forward squared the ball for winger

Salmaan King.However, a last-ditch tackle stopped King

from striking the ball and Aces respondedwith their owncounter attack.Afterbreakinginto the Santos box, a Black Aces player wasjudged to have been fouled and the refereeawarded a penalty.Esau Metsweni stepped up and casually

struck the ball past Santos keeper Pa DembaTouray, into the top right hand corner of thenet to take the lead in the 44th minute.Santos continued to dominate in the re-

maining minutes of the half, but could notfashion any further chances before the break.They seemed invigorated when they re-

turned after half-time and came close to level-ling matters after just 30 seconds. Sitayitayimanaged to lose his marker again, but shotstraight at the keeper after receiving the ballin space, on the edge of the box.The striker was proving to be a constant

danger to the Aces defence, and five minuteslater he headed a cross narrowlywide of goal,after climbing highest to meet a teasing ballfrom King.Black Aces seemed content to sit on their

lead and play on the counter, and they wouldhave beenmade to pay had Santos not squan-dered their chances.Nooij bemoaned his team’s lack of compo-

sure in front goal and blamed the poor finish-ing for the loss.“After a quiet 20 minutes we got control of

the match and dominated, but then you haveto score goals,” says Nooij.“Unfortunately we got a penalty against us

fromone of their few attacks into our box, butwe got the opportunities. We dominated thesecond half, but we did not score a goal. Inthis league, and any other league, you needto score goals to win matches.”TheDutch coach refused to speculate onhis

team’s chances of earning promotion, sayingthere were still “29 games to go”.

GLAMORGANCRICKETCLUB is seekingalternative options to redress attempts atreinstating points whichwould have seenthem promoted to the top league of West-ern Cape club cricket.

This comes after an urgent appeal by to theWestern Cape High Court, by the club, wasstruck from the roll by Judge Dennis DavisonMonday 1October. The clubhas exhaustedlegal options to have the points reinstated af-ter, they say, these were “unfairly” deductedin March.

Zarin Meyer, the club’s attorney, says al-though Glamorgan have been forced to giveup the court battle, they have not given upon finding an alternative solution.

“Thematter was struck off the roll becausethe judge needed clarity in respect of a fewother points. He wanted to know the practi-

cality of dealing with this matter, the preju-dice that would have been suffered by Gla-morgan and whether, in fact, the matter wasindeed urgent,” says Meyer.

“Glamorgan are no longer pursuing thismatter (in court), because of the risk of a costorder being awarded against them. A cost or-der would mean, should the matter be lost incourt, our clients would be liable to cost inamount of approximately R100 000. And thisclub cannot afford that, being from a previ-ously disadvantaged background.”

Glamorgan finished at the top WP Cricket1B league last season after beating UCT intheir last game of the season.

But a subsequent complaint by UCT afterthe game saw all the match points deductedfromGlamorgan, leading to UCTwinning theleague and earning promotion.

The complaint UCTmade toWPCwas of an“unprepared pitch”, but Glamorgan wasfound not guilty of this complaint in the hear-

ing. The club were, instead, found guilty of“late removal of covers”, a different bylaw.

The club claimed the hearing was conduct-edunfairly, appealed thedecisionandprovid-edWPwith evidence, which, they say, provesthe covers were removed on time.

However Nabeal Dien, general manager ofWP Cricket, says all aspects of the case werefair and constitutional.

“Glamorgan’s representative and coachwere asked directly what time the coverswere removed and it (the time they said theyremoved the covers) was late,” says Dien.

“That took precedence over the non-prepa-ration, the initial complaint that the pitchwas not sufficiently prepared. I only knowwhat their own people said and what the um-pire said. I think all our committee membersbased their decision on the facts. Afterwardsthey (Glamorgan) came with affidavits andour guys weren’t willing to accept that.”

After failing in their appeals to WP, Gla-

morgan took their case to Cricket SA, whoagreed to arbitrate the case.

However, on Friday 21 September the arbi-trator appointedbyCSA found that the organ-isation could not arbitrate the matter as Gla-morgan had made their complaint too late.

“The arbitrator went outside the scope ofhis appointment and exceeded his powers asan arbitrator by stating that Glamorgan not-ed an invalid appeal to CSA,” says Meyer.

“He said, in terms of the CSA constitution,the appeal should have been lodged withinthree days of when the issue was dealt with.Neither WPCA nor CSA had, at any stage,raised this issue.”

Mario Jardine, match and registration sec-retary ofGlamorgan, says the clubhave spentR25 000 of theirR40 000 seasonbudget fightingthe case.

Most of the clubs players come fromMitch-ell’s Plain,Athloneandother areas surround-ing Ruyterwacht, where they are based.
