BO-KAAP residents are gearing up totackle liquor premises at the end of De-cember, with two licences having alreadybeen rejected by the community.
With the new liquor licence amendments,residents nowhave the opportunity to reviewall liquor licences in close proximity to thecommunity, an opportunity which is beinggrabbed with both hands.Chairperson for theBo-KaapCivicAssocia-
tion, Osman Shaboodien, confirms that Har-ley’s Liquor Store, on the corner of Wale andBuitengracht streets,will be the association’sfirst target.He explains that the liquor store is situated
directly opposite the Nurul Islam Mosqueand poses several traffic problems due to theshortage of parking space and is also allowedto operate well into the night on a Sunday.“We have never had the opportunity to
comment or object to licences such as thesein the past, especially older licences like Har-
ley’s. We are gladly accepting the amend-ments made to the Liquor Act and come theend of December, we will be reviewing theselicences,” Shaboodien says.Earlier this year, the association engaged
in a month-long protest against the Time andPlace Bar and Restaurant, located oppositeHarley’s Liquor Store.Residents came out tops in this High Court
battle.The bar and restaurant has since then
closed down for good (“Residents win bar de-bate”, People’s Post, 16 October).The association has already rejected two
new liquor licence applications on the basisthat the premiseswere located close to a placeof worship.One application was for opposite the Palm
Street Mosque in Long Street and the otherapplication was in Orphan and Loop streets.“Whether we win or not, it really does not
matter. It’s the principle behind the wholeprocess and we are doing something that wewould not have done in the past, becausethere was no law allowing us to go that far,”
Shaboodien says.Western Cape Liquor Authority CEO Thys
Giliomee explains that a public participationprocess will be held during the applicationprocess for new licences.A designated liquor officer in whose area
of jurisdiction the proposed licensed premis-es are located is required to serve a copy ofthe application on the municipality con-cerned in order tohavepublic andward coun-cillor comment on the application.“Residents can also lodge a complaint with
regard to liquor outlets that are currently op-erating. The Act allows for annual automaticrenewals, however, in a case where a com-plaint is lodged, there will not be an automat-ic renewal,” he says.Giliomee confirms that the Liquor Board is
not aware of any concerns lodged againstHarley’s.“We do not know how or on which grounds
the liquor licence issued to Harley’s will bechallenged,” he says.Residentswere glad tohear about the “posi-
tive stance” being taken by the association
and fully supported the cause.Bo-Kaap resident Rachmat Daniels be-
lieves the religious aspect of the area has tobe respected and supports the association’squest to free the area of liquor premises.“Alcohol will always be around and it real-
ly is not something you can just wave away.However, Bo-Kaap should be given the rightfor alcohol to be banned completely, becauseof its rich religious history,” she says.Ismail Sampson, another resident, believes
the association is faced with a “mighty task”,but feels positive after witnessing the resultsof the last protest.“The community really stood together
when tackling Time and Place and they suc-ceeded. They showed lots of commitment,come rain or sunshine, and they did whatthey promised and that was to get rid of thatbar. If they truly feel they can get rid of otherliquor establishments, residents must backthis cause,” he says.People’s Post attempted to gain comment
from Harley’s Liquor Store, but the ownerwas unavailable for comment.

AN AGES-OLD recreational facility inWoodstock could stand a chance to be re-juvenated.
Trafalgar Park was recently transformedfrom just another urban park into an unex-pected event space to host the Cape TownPartnership’s annual stakeholders function,in conjunction with the City of Cape Townand the Cape Heritage Trust.The event also presented an opportunity to
discuss plans to rejuvenate Trafalgar Park,generating some excitement within the com-munity.Resident HashiemAdams is thrilled about
the proposed plans to rejuvenate the park.“There is so much potential at this park
and it’s by time that something gets done tobring out the real beauty of this facility,” hesays.He stresses that ensuring the park re-
mains “properly secured” once rejuvenatedshould be the top priority for council.“There are lots of good things and bad
things that happen inside this park, but if thecouncil fences off the property correctly, weas residents and thepublic canonly enjoy thegood things,” Adams says.Jessica Vermijl has been living in Wood-
stock for six years and says that rejuvenat-ing the Trafalgar Park is a process that is“long overdue”.She explains that the park has so many
positive factors to exploit and the area couldbe turned into one of Cape Town’s main at-tractions, if done correctly.“In the Netherlands, facilities such as
these are well guarded and fenced off. Therichhistory andhistorical features are close-ly monitored and that really needs to featureat this park,” she says.
Trafalgar Park contains a small 19th cen-tury incinerator, which is also known as“The Destructor” and is believed to havebeen used to destroy undelivered mail orconfidential City documents.The park also has a public swimming pool
and runs over three hectares, all the wayfrom the Nelson Mandela Drive to MainRoad in Woodstock.Mayoral Committee Member for Econom-
ic, Environmental and Spatial Planning, Be-linda Walker, welcomes ideas and contribu-tions from anyone within the community.“There is currently no defined project and
many ideashave been suggested, but no reso-lutions have been taken on a formal projectproposal at this stage,” Walker says.Mayoral Committee Member for Commu-
nity Services, Tandeka Gqada, applaudsCape Town Partnership’s efforts and attrib-uted the success to a relationship based on“common principles, trust and common un-derstanding of a vision”.“I really hope to see all public spaces trans-
formed into places of joy that will promotesocial cohesion and benefit the communi-ties,” she says.Ward councillor Brett Herron reiterated
the importance of collaboration between allstakeholders on projects like these.“The City can improve on the park’s infra-
structure, but to improve the use of the parktakes creativity and community.“This event is a demonstration of the po-
tential for creative use of our public openspaces,” he adds.If any community members or stakehold-
ers are interested in becoming involved inthe rejuvenation of Trafalgar Park, contactJodi Allemeier, the Central City Develop-ment Strategy manager for the Cape TownPartnership at 2 [email protected].

THE production From the Mouths of Babestraces the roots of three Jewish women inSouth Africa at the Baxter this festive sea-son.The show is on now until Saturday 5 Jan-
uary at 20:15, with Saturday matinees at14:00.Malcolm Purkey directs three striking
youngJewishwomen –NaamiGottliebLie-berman, Sivan Raphaely and SharonSpiegel-Wagner – who tell stories abouttheir lives, the lives of their parents andgrandparents, and how they arrived in SA.Their roots can be traced back to Russia,Eastern Europe, NorthAfrica, America, Is-rael and the Arab Peninsula.Their stories, at times wildly funny and
sharply poignant, reflect growing up in SA.Intricate and majestic songs in three-partharmony fill the landscape of memory and
dreams as they express their yearning fortruth and identity. Tales of humour andvulnerability bring their history alive tohonour, celebrate and explore their exist-ence.Award-winning theatre director and
playwright Purkey says he was “drawn tothis project because it deals, in a playfulway, with the question of Jewishness inSouth Africa”.From the Mouths of Babes is not recom-
mended for children under 14 years, so pa-rental guidance is advised.Ticket prices range from R110 to R150.

TRADING on the Grand Parade in the citycentre is being threatened by ongoingtheft committed by “opportunistic” va-grants loitering at the market.
It is understood thousandsof randsof goodsare stolen annually and traders believe thereis very little that can be done as the marketis situated close to one of Cape Town’s majortransport interchanges.One trader, Nuraan Daniels, explains that
theft from stalls is nothing new and in mostcases, is only discovered when stock is beingrecorded.Daniels has been trading on the Grand Pa-
rade fornineyears, dealing in fabrics andma-terials, but has already lost R2 000 worth ofgoods this year.“It really is quite sad and very difficult for
the traders to dealwith, because everyoneouthere is trying to make a living. It really is ahuge setback when you discover your lossesdue to theft,” she says.Daniels adds a number of vagrants had al-
ready been caught red-handed this year,stealing items suchasmaterials, clothingandaccessories from her stall.Freddie van Niekerk is a trader selling
clothing and accessories and has already lostR3 500 this year.He blames “opportunistic” vagrants loiter-
ing around the Grand Parade and says: “Youdo feel for them and I, for one, completely un-derstand that it must be hard living on thestreet. However, we are also doing this every-
day to support our families and when wehave to go home and explain these losses,it is quite hard.”Aneesah Galant is a former trader at the
market and cracked under the pressure oftheft.She was forced to pack up her stall.Galant lost over R6 000worth of crockery,
pots and other kitchen appliances over atwo-year period at the market.She says: “That really brokemyheart, be-
cause I pumped so much money into thatstall and our family was heavily dependenton the finances generated from that stall. Ihad to close just before I hit rock bottom.”In one day, Galant lost R1 000 worth of
goods, when three vagrants were involvedin an incident that unfolded at her stall in2010.She explains how one vagrant distracted
her while the other two walked off with hergoods.“You cannot really blame anybody and
you can put more security here, but thatwill not take away the problem around va-grants,” Galant says.Richard Bosman, the Executive Director
for Safety and Security for the City of CapeTown, says theCity is awareof theproblemsaround theGrandParade, but confirms that“no concerns were reported”.He adds the City plans to introduce sea-
sonal Law Enforcement officers to patrolthe area and the City’s Social Developmentdepartment will play a role with relocatingthe vagrants to the homeless shelters or“their reintegration into the family or com-
munity from which they came”.“Thiswill be done in an integrated approach,
whereby a written survey of all the street peo-ple living and working on the Grand Paradewill be carried out by the Displaced People’sUnit and Social Development,” Bosman says.Once the social intervention has been car-
ried out and people have relocated back into
their communities, reunited with family andfriends, into night shelters or into any of theCity’s street people programmes, those leftbehindwill be in contravention of the bylawsand will be dealt with via the CommunityCourts.“Crime and grime is always detrimental to
any area,” he adds.

TAURIQ HASSEN
IN A YEAR filled with events that got youtalking,People’s Post takes a look back atsome of 2012’s biggest stories in the Atlan-tic Seaboard and city centre.
JanuaryTheyear got off to a shaky start for theMus-
lim Judicial Council (MJC) when severalcommunitymembers and various Islamic or-ganisations tackled the MJC over the OrionCold Storage company scandal.The Cape Town-based frozen foods distrib-
utor allegedly imported pork products, kan-garoo and water buffalo meat and relabelledthe products as halaal beef.The investigative reporting TV pro-
gramme, 3rdDegree, showedundercover foot-age which apparently showed employees us-ing heat guns to remove original labels andreplace them with halaal stickers.It is believed that the MJC granted halaal
clearance to consignments from Orion ColdStorage, but later cut all ties with the compa-ny.
FebruaryCouncillors spent large sums of money on
various projects within their wards as the fi-nancial year came to a close.InWard 77, a total of R144 000 went towards
playground irrigation systems in Bo-Kaap –one at Leeuwen Playground and the other atYusuf Drive Playground.The budget also allocated R160 000 towards
beautifying heritage sites such as the Home-stead and De Waal Park.In Ward 54, one of the biggest spends was
for the Clifton Fourth Beach parking area up-grade, which cost around R140 000 and re-ceived strong motivation by the community.Clearing the bushes away at Bantry Bay andCamps Bay, between Victoria and KloofRoad, cost the City of Cape Town R70 000.
MarchIt was revealed that a new Licence Plate
Recognition camera was on the cards for theCity Bowl area, which ensured that no vehi-cle linked to previous crime-related incidentswould be able to roam the streets without thecamera noticing.The system was introduced in May, and is
designed to assist police in capturing crimi-nals. This system was already being used inareas such as Fish Hoek, Bergvliet andCamps Bay.
AprilThe MyCiTi bus services team unveiled
plans to expand their services to Sea Point,the City Bowl and Hout Bay.The City hosted numerous public meetings
in order to discuss plans to transport passen-gers from theWaterfront, Hout Bay and partsof the City Bowl.At the time, residents’ concernsweremain-
ly around the routes that would be chosenand the way in which the bus routes wouldbe constructed.
JuneGreen Point residents raised concerns
about rowdy prostitutes operating in Somer-set Road.Residents claimed that the high noise vol-
ume, anti-social behaviour, vulgarity andfighting were driving them up the wall.The City maintained that monitoring pros-
titution was difficult, but urged locals to con-tinue reporting the matter to police.
JulyConstruction of the new R81m Green Point
Track was well underway, but still left someresidents concerned about its future.Residents feared that the new athletics sta-
diumwould end up like the Cape Town Stadi-um – a white elephant.Amplified sound at the stadium was also
AugustBo-Kaap residents were outraged after the
Time and Place Bar and Restaurant, tradingon the corner of Wale and Buitengrachtstreets opened next to the Nurul IslamMosque.
Public meetings and several protests wereheld in front of the bar, which has sinceclosed its doors.
SeptemberPlans to tackle problemats at caves be-
tween Clifton and Sea Point were revealed bythe City of Cape Town.The caves were occupied by street people
who were believed to be engaging in “anti-so-cial behaviour, criminal activities and van-dalism”.A proposal, pending approval from the
City, was in the “beginning stages” and in-cluded plans to design a series of walk waysand lookout points along the area of land, un-derstood to be around 70 000 square metres.This would allow users to explore new
parts of the coastline.Pathways and viewing areas would also be
constructed using “natural local material”.
OctoberBo-Kaap residents once again stepped up to
the plate and defended their community, onlythis time, standing tall against the film indus-try.Residents planned to take on the FilmCom-
mission after scenes from the historic areawere used in a series depicting terrorists be-
ing chased.An MTN advert, depicting girls running
around in bikinis, also added to their miseryas residents claim: “That is not the wayMus-lims conduct themselves”.The Film Commission responded that they
would be more cautious when filming scenesin the Bo-Kaap area.
NovemberTheAquariusblockof flats inSeaPoint cre-
ated much frustration in the community andresidents urged council to inspect chaos hap-pening at the building.Residents claimed that large volumes of
noise, possible drug dealing outside thepremises, unsavoury characters and thebuilding’s appearance were burning issues.People’s Post accompanied ward councillor
BeverleySchafer ona tour of the flats andwit-nessed a few of the problems experienced bylocals.
DecemberRefugees at the Home Affairs Refugee Cen-
tre on theForeshore had concerns around theway they were being treated outside the cen-tre.Refugees claimed that security guards
were not managing the queues correctly andtreated certain refugees unfairly by placingthem in the back of the queue for speakingup.Allegations were made that refugees were
being beaten and slapped in the face by secu-rity guards.
The year that was

one of the mainconcerns, but theCity explained thatsound would be di-rected away fromresidential proper-ties.The stadium,
once completed,will become thecentre of athleticsthroughout theWestern Cape, al-lowing the estab-lishment of clubsand creating a safeand enjoyable envi-ronment.
THE recently-formed SchotschekloofRatepayers’ and Residents’ Associa-tion is now officially on the map, as ithas met all requirements in terms ofthe registration process within coun-cil. Registered under Subcouncil 16,the citizens of Schotschekloof and theassociation will be represented in allmatters relating to the development ofthe area.Mandated by concerned residents
and ratepayers of Schotscheskloof, themammoth task of the formation of theassociation was initiated and imple-mented by an interim executive com-mittee.Moving forward, the associationwill
keep residents, who have issued themandate for the formation of the asso-ciation, informed as to future plansand will host a general meeting oncea venue is secured.Notices will be published via print
and electronic media.All other ratepayers will be given an
opportunity to register once the objec-tives have been fulfilled.For further information, email

THE public now has an alterna-tive way to help people living onthe streets of Cape Town.
A new SMS donation service hasbeen launched by Cape Town Cen-tral Improvement District (CCID)which forms part of the Give Re-sponsibly campaign, aimed atbreaking the cycle of homelessnesson the city streets.All donationswill be given to var-
ious city NGOs that are assistingthe homeless by proving them withshelter, food, social services and re-habilitation programmes.Pat Eddy, the head of Social De-
velopment at the CCID, says: “Formany people the instinct is to givemoney to people begging on thestreets because they believe it will give theperson a chance to build a new life or at thevery least help them survive life on thestreet.”She adds that inmost cases, the CCID have
found that themoney given is not being usedfor basic needs like food, clothing or shelter,but rather to fuel addictions, resulting inhomeless people rejecting assistance.The CCID was established in 2000, the first
improvement district of its kind in South Af-rica, which is funded by property owners toprovide complementary urban managementservices to the area.SandraMorreira, the director at theHome-
stead in Strand Street, supports boys underthe age of 18 with family reunification andother services.“We fully support the CCID’s Give Respon-
sibly initiative, which allows us as resource-strapped NGOs to reach out to even morechildren living on the street within the city,”she says.The campaign’s mascot, Smiley, is depict-
ed in the awareness campaign, which is usedto represent the cycle of how on-street dona-tions spread homelessness.The stories are based on real life stories
of people who could turn their lives around
as a result of interventions from the partnerNGOs.The story of Smiley has been handed out
at robots and selected stores around the citycentre.TassoEvangelinos, theChiefOperatingOf-
ficer of the CCID, believes that the issuesaround homelessness cannot be alleviatedovernight, but wishes to see various NGOsin the city centre joining up tomake theGiveResponsibly campaign a success.“Wewould like to encourage businesses in
the CBD to get involved and challenge theirstaff to share the Give Responsibly messageand also for other CIDs to implement thecampaign in their own areas,” he says.Those who wish to donate to the campaign
can send an SMS to 38088, using the key-words “Give”, “Success”, “Dreams” or “Dig-nity”.Each SMS donation is valued at R10 which
will contribute to the efforts of the CCID’s sixNGO partners: Straatwerk, Ons Plek, Car-penters Shop, Homestead, Salesian InstituteYouth Projects and The Haven.For further information about the cam-
paign, visit Facebook and Twitter, using thehashtags #isawsmiley and #giveresponsi-bly.
Give responsibly

THE time is drawing closer for the streetsto be filled with colour and tunes as theCape Minstrels prepare to thrill theMother City.
Last Thursday Cape Town mayor Patriciade Lille reiterated her commitment to the an-nual carnival by signing an agreement withvarious minstrel association representa-tives.
The signing ceremony is a culmination ofan extensive and lengthy process which in-volved engaging with the various associa-tions to ensure the prestigious event is suc-cessful and one all Capetonians can be proudof.
“We are formalising our relationship withthe representatives of the various minstrels’associations to ensure that we are fully pre-pared to make this year’s carnival a spectac-
ular event,” De Lille said.The City has offered to provide R3.5m
worth of logistical and support services suchas traffic control, safety and security, LawEnforcement and cleansing to ensure thatthe event is properly controlled and managedin the best interest of the minstrels, specta-tors and the City.
“Since assuming office last year, the ad-ministration I lead has worked hard to reachout to different cultural groups to ensurethey feel part of an inclusive city,” she said.
De Lille remained adamant the City is de-termined to grow the Tweede NuwejaarMin-strel Carnival into an event that enjoys thestatus of similar cultural celebrationsthroughout the world.
“The City recognises the potential ofevents like this in fostering social cohesionin Cape Town,” she added.

THIS will be a clean city over the festive peri-od.
The City of Cape Town’s Cleansing Servic-es team in the Solid Waste Management De-partment is preparing for the yearly influxof visitors to the Mother City.
To this end, a total of R12,2m has alreadybeen allocated and more than 1 800 extracleansing staff will be employed to meet theincreased demands.
Refuse removal will continue uninterrupt-ed over the festive season – including on pub-lic holidays – with an extra top-up cleaningservice at business districts, scenic routesand beaches.
The City’s beach programme includes col-lection of refuse and litter from all beachesand surrounding rocks and grassed areas.Teams will also remove kelp and shell debrisfrom the main recreational beaches. Anydead seals that wash up along the coast, par-ticularly on Strandfontein beaches, will beremoved.
The City appeals to all to use the litter binsand to dispose of litter at home in the absenceof bins at utilities.
Wheelie bins will be collected on the usualrefuse collection days and services will re-main unchanged during the festive period,even on the public holidays.

WrappedSAINT Paul says we should “eat, drink andbe merry”.That is a perfect description of the festive
season. Some people are caught up in the fe-ver-pitch throes of spending, buying andwrapping those gifts.It is the time of year of expectation and re-
turning gifts best left on a shelf. The day afterChristmas, Boxing Day, is one of the busiestdays in the retail sector, what with all thosereturns or unwanted gifts being converted tocash. It is also a time, to borrow a phrase,when many buy items they don’t need, to im-press people they don’t like with money theyhave yet to earn. Instead of hovering at a shelfto dither over price versus value, there arecountless gifts no store could ever stock.These, too, can be gifted.For those at a loss over what to give to
whom, there are options.Cast your glance at others around you. Per-
haps they really do not needmore clothes, butothers would be happy to take your oldclothes gathering dust in the corner of yourcupboard. What about your “fat” clothes or“thin” clothes you may never again wear?Give it to a shelter or the Salvation Army.Demand is at a premium for blood. This is
a product man cannot make. When you do-nate blood, your own stock is replenished ingood time.Spend your cash wisely. Remember a loved
one who has passed on in the year by makingapledge to aworthycause. Pickone inhonourof your late relative or friend.There are other gifts you could never buy,
like showing somepatience towards cashiers.They are particularly under pressure thistime of year and could dowith some courtesy.Prepare a meal for the homeless, spend
some time with people in hospitals or specialcare centres, give a smile to someone else ora visit to an elderly neighbour. Whatever yougive, the choice remains yours.
THE City of Cape Town is request-ing that we, Joe Public, come for-ward with ideas on how to makeCape Town Stadium economicallyviable.This statement surprises me be-
cause when we give proposals onhow to create employment thereseems to be no interest, but now weare good enough to try and help theCity saddle the white elephant.My response is to sell the stadium
to a consortium from across theseas.Now back to us and our unem-
ployment rates. As a country withtraditions and cultures, we cannev-er change – nomatter howWestern-ised we want to be.On the Cape Flats we have had
hawkers standing on the pavementselling their goods. We have hadhorse-and-cart teams doing thesame. Both created employmentand business.I was recently at a fleamarket and
admired how people were using atrailer, which they transportedwith a vehicle, to sell their goods.I saw it as a potential for our
youth who cannot find work to op-erate trailer-orientated businesses.Imagine: with simple guidelines
and authorisation and away fromother vested businesses we havepeople selling from trailers parkedin authorised demarcated spaces.The possibilities are endless andthe main aim is to reincarnate themodernised metal horse-and-cartdoing business and creating em-ployment.I have no proposal for our stadi-
um, but am proposing a small solu-tion to a big problem.KEITH BLAKE

I AM writing this letter on behalf of those wholost a loved one – whether through illness, acci-dent or heartbreak.For me 2012 (and it is not yet over) has been
a year of great loss, pain, hurt, anger and allthose emotions in one, but I am still standing.I lost my dad to cancer in March. He was a
greatman;mymentor, the one I sharedmyaspi-rations with, the one who always had a positivespin to things even if it seemed like nothingwould come right.His death left a void that cannot ever be filled.
Sometimes Iwalk aroundand see oldermenandI long for him. I talk to people and they talkabout their dads and I long for him. I comfortmyself with the knowledge he wanted me therewhen he passed on and I was there. I opened thedoor so he could go peacefully.I sometimes block out that he is gone. I won-
der how Christmas will be without him for thefirst time this year and it hurts. But I will sur-vive it; others did so before me.I lost my uncle also to cancer a few months
aftermydad, but he didn’t suffer long.His deathis also a great loss to my family. He was a gooduncle, spoilt all the cousins andalwayshad timeto talk and encourage. Neighbours passed on,too, and people keep saying “it was their time”.I don’t believe in that. God decides when it isour time to go.My family is going through a lot of other
things now, but I believe it is because ourstrength is being tested. We are strong peopleand will overcome. I wish to say to those in asimilar situation: nothing is stronger than ourfaith in God and I wish everyone a blessedChristmas and everything that is good for 2013.TANYA MISEROOLE

The sporting year that wasLIAM MOSES
IN 2012 People’s Post brought readerssport stories of achievement in the face ofadversity, as well as hard-hitting, topicaland fresh sport news.
In this article we look back on a few of themost notable stories of this year.In the first edition of the year People’s Post
wrote about Andrew Chin, RamBarkai, ToksViviers, Kieron Palframan and Ryan Stram-rood, all swimmers from the southern sub-urbs whowon third place in the Performanceof the Year category at the annual WorldOpen Water Swimming Association awards.They achieved this after completing a trio
of extreme cold-water swimming events inonly 10 days in March 2011.We also featured a story on Sven Greef, a
31-year-old father of two and amateur cyclist,who cycled 1 400km from Johannesburg toCape Town for charity in just 12 days.In February we interviewed Braam Mal-
herbe, a local extreme athlete and adventur-er, whohad just returned from the SouthPoleChallenge. Malherbe, from the CBD, spent 25days in the Antarctic and walked over 742kmacross the frozen continent.We also brought you the news that Noore
Nacerodien, the formervice-president of Soft-ball South Africa (SSA), had been reinstated
after having a suspension overturned.Nacerodien, chairperson of the local organ-
ising committee for the 2011 InternationalSoftball Federation Women’s Junior WorldChampionship, was suspended for failing toattend a SSAmeeting to present a detailed re-port on the tournament.In April mother-of-two Andrea Boettger
(43) ran the entire Two Oceans Marathonwhile pushing her wheelchair-bound sonAlex (10). The twoboth suffer fromcongenitalmuscular dystrophy and finished the 56kmmarathon in under seven hours.The Fish Hoek Lifesaving Club also made
headlines that month, winning the South Af-rican Surf Lifesaving Championships inDur-ban for the second year running. They werealso placed third at the South African NipperChampionships in Port Elizabeth.The Cape Town football fraternity was
rocked by controversy in April when theeventual winners of Metropolitan PremierCup were accused of cheating.PhilippiUnitedFootball Clubwere accused
of fielding an over-aged and incorrectly regis-tered player in the tournament. SAFA CTsubsequently launched an investigation.Former Santos coachBoebie Solomonswas
appointed as director of coaching at theMitchell’s Plain Local Football Association(LFA).People’s Post shed light on tensions be-
tween schools and rugby clubs in the south-ern suburbs in May when schools claimedtheir players were being lured away to playfor clubs.Manenberg rugby coach Saaid Blake also
took up a major coaching position in themonth. The MIT Rangers head coach was se-lected as an assistant coach for the 2012 WPCraven Week team.We also brought you the story of Edward
Murdoch, a Fish Hoek resident who compet-ed in the Jive Slave Route Challenge at theage of 79.In June we informed you about the post-
ponement of theCokeCupdue to the slowpro-duction of player registration cards by SAFACT.In July, we reported on claims that Cape
Town athletes representing South Africa attheLondonOlympicsweregivenpoorqualitygifts by theWestern Cape Department of Cul-tural Affairs and Sport at a send off before thegames.People’s Post hit an albatross in August
when we reported on Greenhaven golfer Ish-mail Adams, who was still making par at theage of 80.We also brought you news of table tennis
coach Greg Naik, who hired a lawyer and en-listed the help of the Western Province SportCouncil and Department of Cultural Affairsand Sport in his fight against a two-year sus-
pension from WP Table Tennis.In September, People’s Post also inter-
viewed Chris du Pont seconds after he defeat-ed Craig Fourie and became the Cape FightLeague heavy-weight champion.WP Schools Water Polo also inked a
R400 000 sponsorship deal with internationalfinancial services firm Maitland.Dawn Matthei (50), from Strandfontein,
made it to the sports pages in September aftermaking it to the top of Mount Elbrus, thehighest mountain in Europe.The Engen Knockout Challenge took place
in October, with Ajax triumphing 3-1 overhost club Engen Santos in the final.The South African blind cricket team’s
preparation for the inaugural T20 BlindCricket World Cup in India also made head-lines.We focused on the upcoming inter-provin-
cial youth weeks in November, when wespoke to Nabeal Dien, head of amateur crick-et at WP Cricket, about the concerns regard-ing the make-up of the organisation’s juniorteams.In December People’s Post reported on an
agreement signed by the Konkan Cricket As-sociation (KCA) andWPCricket,which couldsee the KCA become affiliated to the union.Armand Bam, coach of the South African
blind cricket team, was also appointed to theWorld Blind Cricket Council (WBCC).

Couple take to the AtlanticLIAM MOSES
ATOKAIwomanwill leave for the adventureof a lifetime when she sets sail from Simon’sTown in the Governor’s Cup Yacht Race(GCYR) on Saturday.The Governor's Cup will see 19 boats cross
3 500km (1750 nautical miles) of the AtlanticOcean from the False Bay town to St Helena,one of the world’s most remote islands.Although the race is downwind and consid-
ered to be relatively easy compared to otheryacht races, the weather, waves and heavyworkload are still expected to give competi-tors a stiff challenge.However, Kathy Edmeades (47) says she
doesn’t fear the wide, open expanse that liesbetween her and the British colony.“That doesn’t bother me because I am used
to the sea. The only thing I might be worriedabout is if we hit seriously rough seas, but Ihave been told that it’s the milk run,” saysEdmeades.“The wind is behind you so it’s a lot easier
to sail. The closer you get to the equator it’seasier to sail because of the trade winds.”Edmeades will be racing in a class one mo-
no-hull boat called African Renaissance,along with her partner, Wayne Badenhorst(55).During the night she and Badenhorst will
take twohour turnskeepingwatchandensur-ing the boat stays on course. Ideally a boat’ssize would have a crew of around four people.Badenhorst, a Claremont resident, says the
lack of sleep and physical exertion that comeswith sailing the boat “two-handed”will be thetoughest challenge.“You need to be in peak fitness. It is a tech-
nical sport. You can handle things and youhave a lot of sea-room out there, so there isspace if there is a problem and you head off
in one direction,” he says.“But you still needadecent level of physical
fitness to cope with so little sleep over tendays. And to have to eat, clean, shower, navi-gate and report on the radio is quite a strainon the body.”Although neither have taken part in the
race before, Badenhorst is an experiencedsailor with close 100 000 nautical miles underhis belt and 38 years of experience racing anddelivering yachts around the globe.He co-owns the boat, which he built him-
self, andEdmeades sayshaving someonewithso much experience on the trip has helped toallay what little fear she has.“The first couple of nights are going to
scare me, because we are in the shippinglanes so we have these huge tankers and bigfishing boats (around us). You will have tokeep a watch, especially at night,” she says.Badenhorst says the boat is capable of
reaching St Helena in nine days, even witha crew of only two. The pair have set this anda podium finish as their target for the race.“If we get the right weather from the first
day, we can probably be up there.We are defi-nitely not going for a cruise.”

Mutual snatch a late victoryLIAM MOSES
OLDMUTUAL FCwill go into the festive sea-son break with a win to their name.The Pinelands club went into the Second
Division fixture on the back of two defeats,the last of which was a heavy 4-0 loss to PeaceMakers at the Phillipi Stadium.Mutual looked like they were headed for
their third consecutive losswhen the visitorstook the lead early in the secondhalf, but theycame back to win 2-1.Former Bafana Bafana player Gerald Sto-
ber, Mutual’s head coach, praised his side fortheir determination.“The result (and getting the three points)
is good. In the first half our quality was poor,but in the second half the players showedsome character,” says Stober.“The (substitute) players did the job. Ida’s
Valley did well in the first half, but you needto keep on playing for the full 90 minutes. For
us, it will do the team good to get the result.A couple of results haven’t gone our way,even though we played well. Today we werenot on top of our game, but towards the endthe guys showed what they can do.”Ida’sValley looked determined to record an
upset inPinelands and they came close to tak-ing an early lead when striker RyanWagenaar burst onto a through ball andforced Mutual goalkeeper Rory Obrien topush the ball onto the post.TheykeptMutualunderpressure andnear-
ly took the lead from a well-taken set piece,when the ball smashed into the side nettingafter it was crossed into the box, in the thirdminute.Mutual eventually registered their first
shot on goal in the 25th minute, when a tameshot from a free kick – just outside the area
– was comfortably saved by the Ida’s Valleygoalie Thomas Dicks.They had their first clear-cut chance two
minutes later when a ball over the Ida’s Val-ley defence put Dante Lamb one-on-one withthe Dicks. But the shot was poorly directedand easily saved.The visitors continued to pepper the Old
Mutual goal with shots and drew anothersave from the keeper in the 32ndminute, forc-ing him to concede a corner with a fiercelystruck free kick.Old Mutual started the second half with in-
creased vigour and commitment to attack,but despite dominating the opening exchang-es they went behind in the seventh minute,after conceding apenalty for ahandball in thebox. Wagenaar stepped up for Ida’s Valleyand struck the ball past Obrien.
Mutual almost equalised immediatelywhen a shot that cannoned off both posts be-fore being cleared was unleashed.Trailing,Mutual playedwithmoreurgency
and they eventually equalised in the 32ndminute from a free kick.The ball was floated towards the far post of
the Ida’s Valley goal and substitute ClaudioCarneiro soared above the crowded box tohead past an advancing Dicks.Thehome teamcontinued topress and stole
the victory with another header. This time itwas captain Ashley Opperman took the hon-ours, diving to meet a cross from the leftflank.Mutual will take a three-week break, along
with the rest of the Second Division, beforeresuming in January.Stober added the team would be working
hard throughout the recess, trying improvetheir performance and develop the team’sstyle of play.

Rumours surround Milano coachLIAM MOSES
MILANO UNITED have rubbished ru-mours that their newly appointed techni-cal director could soon take up the headcoach role at local rivals Santos.
Brandon Truter joined the Grassy Parkside in late October, after leaving Second Di-vision side Cape Town All Stars earlier thatmonth. Reports of another move for Truterfirst surfaced on Monday 3 December, whenSoccer Laduma published the story online.
Truter admits he negotiated with Santosand spent a week with the team, but that noagreement was made.“Milano started negotiating and offeredme
a contract as technical director. When Isigned the contract I notified Santos that I amtaking the job at Milano,” says Truter.“There was a bit a bad blood and court ac-
tion was threatened because they said I hada verbal agreement (with them), but nothingwas agreed.”According to Truter, Santos chairman
GoolamAllie has claimed he could be joining
the People’s Team, since has signed for Mi-lano, on two occasions.Headds the rumourshavebeendistracting,
as he received several concerned phone callson Friday 14 December, saying he is “com-pletely happy” at Milano.Allie, however, says Truter was never of-
fered a positionwith the senior team andwasjust considered for a role with the youthteams. “(There is) absolutely no truth (tothat). There was never a discussion withBrandon Truter to become a senior coach atmy club, ever,” Allie says.
“He was employed by the club in the youthdepartment. He came for two days – he madean agreement, (which) we were going to putdown in writing, (but) the next minute hewent to Milano. There was never ever a dis-cussion of him (being in charge of) the seniorteam. We never approached him – the ap-proach was made by him and he was with usbefore, so we were prepared to take him.”Whenquestioned about current head coach
Mart Nooij’s future, Allie said changeswouldbe communicated through the website orpress releases should it transpire.
