HARFIELD VILLAGE: OPPOSITION FROM RESIDENTS

Green light for demolitionASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The application to demolish four cottag-es in Harfield Village has been ap-proved. But the application has met

with stiff resistance from some residents.The cottages, situated on a single property

on Bell Road, are owned by Eric Otten.He says the tenants will need to find alter-

native accommodation for the demolitionprocess to start.“I considered restoring the cottages, but

due to the level of deterioration it is not pos-sible, which is why I will go ahead with thedemolition plan once the tenants havemoved out,” he says.Otten says he plans to build eight units

with sufficient parking space for the newtenants.“I know people are very sensitive to new

developments and parking space. I willmake sure to build the properties within theheritage area overlay conditions,” he says.This newspaper previously reported (“Pe-

tition to halt flats”, People’s Post, 25 June2013) of residents who drew up a petition tovoice their concerns about the houseswhichare more than 60 years old.Harfield Village Association’s former

vice-chairperson Arthur Tsimitakopoulossaid the petition was to make people awareof the changes to the suburb.“Even though it’s early days, the road in

which the block of flats will be situated isvery narrow and we’re concerned about theflow of traffic there.Tsimitakopoulos said he opposed the ap-

plication “because the Bell Road houses re-flect the unique character of the precinct”.Meanwhile, ward councillor Matthew

Kempthorne says he is unhappy about thedemolition, as he fears an integral part of thesuburb’s history will be removed.“These are the last remaining homes of

people who lived in Harfield Village beforetheGroupAreasAct and is a significant partof the suburb,” he says.Some residents feel it would be totally un-

desirable for the owner to demolish theprop-erty.A resident, who did not want to be identi-

fied, says if the plans have been approvedthere is nothing anyone can do.“We canonly complain andobject to an ap-

plication. However, I do think he would be

making a huge mistake if he plans to demol-ish these beautiful cottages.“They have been in the community for

many years and adds character to the area.It is sad to see someone destroy them,” shesays.She further says if the owner plans to

build a high-rise development itwould bringdown the value of the surrounding homes.“People have invested much into their

properties and if an apartment (block) isconstructed here I think residents will seea drop in the value of their homes. Withapartments come more traffic, more peopleand more problems,” she adds.Sharing these sentiments, another resi-

dent,who speaks on condition of anonymity,says because of traffic congestion and house

robberies she and her family have decidedto relocate.“I know it sounds negative, but there is al-

ways a spate of break-ins after lengthy con-struction.“The construction would also affect the

traffic on Second Avenue which is alreadyout of control,” he adds.Another resident, who does not want her

name to be published, says she thinks Har-field Village should remain a village and nota haven for “cheap rentals”.“I donot thinkablockof flats in themiddle

of a village on a popular strip is a great ideafor property priced, either,”she says.“The whole area’s market price will drop

with a block of flats; if that is the plan, it willbe out of character,” she fumes.

She adds that the area has somuchhistory– some of it not so good, but a lot of it goodand which needs to be preserved.Another resident, speaking on condition

of anonymity, says it is horrible to think thecottages will be demolished.“I live in close proximity to the cottages

and if the owner is going to put up moreapartments in lieu of the cottages our roadswill be more congested.”She says the neighbours who greet every

morning will be replaced by strangerswhom, she says, will be difficult to identifywhether or not they actually reside in thecomplex or not.She adds the construction phasewill have

her worried about the safety of her dog andhome while she is away during the day.

PROPERTY: RED TAPE CAUSES FRUSTRATION

Long wait for transferNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

It can take up to a decade to have a councilhouse transferred to the name of a newtenant.This means the trauma of losing a loved

one to death is amplified for the rest of a le-gal tenant’s family, who fear eviction fromtheir homes.And while the transfer is tied up in red

tape, relativesmay be threatenedwith evic-tion.Avril Adams has been waiting six years

for the transfer of her home.“Mymother died years ago andwe’re still

waiting for the council house to be trans-ferred to my stepfather’s name. She livedthere for over 30 years. I’ve lived in thishouse all my life,” she says.The holdup has created several inconven-

iences for Adams. She is unable to open abank account, as she does not have a validproof of residence.When the tenant of a council flat dies,

their spouse or children are eligible to takeover the lease, says Mayoral Committeemember for Human Settlements TandekaGqada.“If more than one child is eligible to be

considered for the tenancy, then the finaldecisionwill rest with the relevant commit-tee of the City of Cape Town,” she says.Tenants must be South African citizens,

must be a registered applicant for accom-modation, must not own property andmusthave a joint income of less than R10 000.If the tenant of the house does not fall into

this category, the unlawful occupation poli-cy will apply. “The policy on unlawful occu-pation is clear in that occupants in occupa-tion prior to 1March 2006 can be consideredfor regularisation if they comply in termsof set criteria,” she says.Nowhazana Tokota fought for three years

to have a council house transferred into hername, and was often threatened with evic-tion.“I lived with an elderly woman who I

cared for. She informed the rent office thatI live with her and should get the housewhen she dies,” Tokota explains.“I was told: ‘If it’s not in your name, we

have to kick you out’.”

Housing activist Jimmy Xalipi says anumber of families find themselves strug-gling to change the name on their lease.“There are many other families in the

same situation,where the residents are pay-ing the rent but the house is not in the rightname,” he says.“They haven’t beenmade the rightful ten-

ants. The longer these things take, themorelikely families are to lose documentationproving they are entitled to live there,” hesays.Another council house resident, who did

not want to be identified, says her familyhas moved into the council house even

though she is paying rent. “We live in awendyhouseoutsidewhilemymother’s sib-lings live in thehouse.Because the leasehasnot been put into my name, I’m not able toask them to move,” she laments.Gqada could not give a time-frame for

transfers of the contract.“The transfer of tenancy and not owner-

ship varies depending on the family situa-tion and the procedure that has to be fol-lowed in terms of the policy,” she says.“There have been some unavoidable de-

lays; in some cases this was because nomi-nees failed to produce the required docu-ments.”

Insufficient parking is the main drivingforce behind an objection to the applica-tion for rezoning of a children’s workshop

in Claremont.The Greater Lynfrae Civic Association

has objected to the application byMontesso-ri Children’s Workshop for rezoning and anextension to the number of children the fa-cility can cater for.Jane Cope, managing director of the chil-

dren’s workshop, says the application wasmade for education purposes. “We want ourbusiness to flourish and with that comeschanges. We havemade the necessary appli-cation to have the property rezoned and weare waiting on approval from council,” shesays.Cope says she can understand the frustra-

tion of the neighbours as the road where theentrance of the school is is extremely nar-row.“We have limited parking space and we

have advised parents to ensure they do notpark illegally or block anyone’s driveway,”she says.The only timewhen there is a high volume

of traffic is in the morning and afternoon,explains Cope.“Parents drop their children at the school

and pick them up during the afternoon. Al-though our school is permitted to have over100 children,we donot have over 100 parentsstopping at one time at our gate or in theroad,” Cope says.The City of Cape Town confirms an appli-

cation for consent in terms of the formerCape Town Zoning Scheme Regulations anddepartures in terms of the Land Use Plan-ning Ordinance is being processed for Erf52291 and 58130, at the corner ofQueenVicto-ria and Belvedere roads. The application re-lates to an Early Childhood Development(ECD) centre on the properties.Marius Crous, acting director for the

City’s Department of Planning and BuildingDevelopment Management, says the appli-cation was submitted on 18 April 2011. “Theconsent is to permit a Place of Instructionin the form of an ECD centre on Erf 52291and to do alterations to an approved Placeof Instruction on Erf 58130 to accommodatea total of 144 children on the property,” hesays.

Crous says the application was, however,refused by the Spatial Planning, Environ-ment andLandUseManagementCommitteeon 12 February. “The applicant is about tobe issued with a right of appeal in terms ofthe Municipal Systems Act,” he adds.However the application is to correct this

as in 1981 consent was granted to permit Erf58130 for a Place of Instruction and no re-striction was imposed to the number of chil-dren. The buildings were, however, illegallyextended.Crous says 26 objections were received by

the City and the objections relate to, amongothers, lack of parking, traffic congestion,traffic danger, nuisance to neighbours, im-pact on municipal services and noise fromthe school.However, association chairperson Alan

Jackson says their main concern with re-gard to the application is almost entirely theissue of traffic and parking.“As far aswe are concerned the traffic and

parking issues alone are sufficient for theapplication to be refused. The City of CapeTown and provincial transport departmentagree, but themayoral committee instructedCity officials to set in motion the regularisa-

tion of the irregular use of the buildings onthe site,” says Jackson.“Presumably in order to approve the full

158 children. They were also instructed tofind a solution to the parking problem thetraffic officials and City of Cape Town’s Spa-tial Planning, Environment and Land UseManagement Committee have agreed thereis no solution to,” he adds.According to Jackson theplanningdepart-

ment claimed that there “is a significantamount of parking on the eastern side of Se-lous Road”.

He says there are about 13 legal parkingplaces along that side of Selous Road, “butmany of these are frequently occupied byresidents and visitors of Solyet Court andother residents in Selous Road”.“We note also that even if the painting of

a red line on the west side of Selous Roadis donemany parents are likely to ignore thenotifications as they have in the past,” hesays.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

PRINCESS VLEI: NEW VISION INCLUDES ‘WORLD CLASS ECO PARK’

Wetlands sale is ditchedASTRID FEBRUARIE ANDTASMIN CUPIDO

His victory celebrations after savingPrincess Vlei from development arejust about dying down.

Now Kelvin Cochrane is looking towardthe future of the vlei – the development ofa “world-class eco park for the people of theCape Flats.Eighteen years after the initial proposal

to develop a shopping mall, taxi rank andparking area at Princess Vlei, the sale of theland has been cancelled by the City of CapeTown.Nearly five years after Cochrane got the

call from residents to assist in the fightagainst development, he is “elated” at thefinal outcome. “I’m looking forward now;the dreamof creating an eco park is no long-er a dream,” he says.“At long last the voices of the people have

been heard. This is a victory for every per-son of the Cape Flats.”On Saturday 22 March, Cochrane and the

rest of the Princess Vlei Forum (PVF) wel-comed the news of the cancelled sale fromdeputy mayor, Ian Nielson. PVF had organ-ised an event to showcase its vision for thevlei. It intended to hand over a petition anda document with the vision to Nielson.But mere hours before the event, the City

issued a press statement to announce it wascancelling the sale of the land. “TheCity haslistened to the community and decided thatthe proposal for a shopping centre on the

Princess Vlei land is inappropriate and willcancel the project,” it stated.It also stated it has been in discussions

with the developer, Insight Property Devel-opers, the last year to discuss “alternativesto the proposed development” and it wouldcompensate the developer for costs in-curred on the project.Insight first proposed the development to

the then-South Peninsula Municipality in1996. Since then it has seen several applica-tions, processes, objections and claims ofcorruption.In July 2009, Cochrane and residents op-

posing the development held a petition sign-ing which saw 1800 people from across theCape Peninsula make the mark (“Battle tosave vlei heats up,” People’s Post, 21 July2009).Questions about the R3m the City has in-

vested in the rehabilitation project Dress-ing the Princess, headed by Cochrane, inAugust 2008 arouse.Several petitions, awareness campaigns

and meetings with mayors and premierHelen Zille followed, and the application forthe extension of the Record of Decision forthe rezoning period was opposed.While the City turned down the applica-

tion for extension in November 2011, theprovincial minister for Environmental Af-fairs and Development Planning AntonBredell, approved the application for theland to be rezoned from public open spaceto business in early 2012.Then Cochrane cried foul has he alleged

there were irregularities in the application

process (“Mall development: corruptionclaims”, People’s Post, 25 September 2012).This prompted the country’s PriorityCrimeInvestigation unit, the Hawks, and the Na-tional Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to in-vestigate theallegations.Thecase is still un-der investigation, Cochrane says.The City also decided to pull the brakes

on the application, as it awaited the out-come of the Hawks and NPA (“Probe putsoutcome in balance”, People’s Post, 30 April2013).Then came the announcement of the can-

cellation.The only wetlands on the Cape Flats has

alsobeenproposedasaproject forWorldDe-sign Capital 2014. The project “ImaginePrincess Vlei” aims to redesign and createa Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in theheart of Retreat. It, in part, could entail theconstruction of an amphitheatre, an infor-mation centre for fynbos restoration, aplant nursery, a jetty, bird hides and muchmore.“The City has already appointed a task

team to pave the way forward for PrincessVlei,”Cochrane says. “The task teamwill,inconjunction with community and the PVFwork onways to bring the ideas for PrincessVlei to life. While the soft work can be donenow, the hard work requires planning.”PVF spokesperson Philip Bam believes

common sense has prevailed. “We can nowfocus on the future of Princess Vlei,” hesays.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Rotten gumtrees couldface axemenASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The Mowbray community is calling onthe City of Cape Town to fell deadlygumtrees and replace themwith indig-

enous ones.Jonathan Hobday, chairperson of the

Mowbray and Rosebank Civic Association,says one of the treeswhich lineRhodesAve-nue recently fell downand couldhavekilledsomeone.“Our community is asking for the rotten

trees to be cut down and replaced with in-digenous trees,” he says.BelindaWalker, Maycomember for Com-

munity Services and Special Projects, con-firms the trees are a problem. “We receivedinitial correspondence regarding thesetrees from a resident in Rhodes Avenue,Mowbray. The City will intervene shouldany of the trees be found to pose a dangerto life or property,” she says.Trees aremanaged strictly in accordance

with the City’s Tree policy.“Each and every tree is individually eval-

uated (inspected) before being felled basedupon Tree Policy criteria,” says Walker.The City is in the process of employing

the services of an arborist to do an evalua-tion of the gum or eucalyptus trees.Once they have received this report they

will, in conjunction with officials in the En-vironmental Resource Management De-partment, further evaluate and recommend

steps to be taken.“It is necessary to follow this procedure

as the trees fall within a Heritage Protec-tion Overlay Zone (Urban ConservationAr-ea),” Walker says.She adds the trees are not indigenous, but

an exotic species of eucalyptus. “Under nor-mal circumstances the trees do not pose athreat.“However, any large tree can pose a po-

tential threat in severe (adverse) weatherconditions,” Walker explains.She further says some of Cape Town’s ex-

otic trees have been an integral part of thecultural landscape since their introductionto the Cape, in some cases as early as the17th century, and now have heritage value.“It is important the City’s heritage trees areprotected as theymakean important contri-bution to the unique historic character ofthe Cape Peninsula,” Walker says.Should the felling of any trees require the

electricity supply to be disconnected, theCity’s electricity department will notify af-fected residents, she adds.Walker says City Parks has a tree blank-

ing (replacement) programme which isdone in accordance with specifications re-lating tovergewidth, traffic sight distances,overhead and underground services.“City Parks, as the custodians of all the

City trees, protects all trees and felling isconsidered the last resort dependingoncon-dition and/or potential threat,” she ex-plains.

TRANSPORT: CLEAR MARKINGS FOR VEHICLES

New rulesahead forschool taxisBRENDEN RUITER

Providers of transportation for schoolchildren will soon be strongly regulat-ed as council’s transport authority,

Transport for Cape Town (TCT), will soonimplement new regulations.It is imperative that school transport is

regulated as part of the City of Cape Town’scomprehensive integrated transport sys-tem, said TCT transportation regulationmanager Lee van den Berg.“Thousands of children are transported

daily between their homes and schools. Itis important that the quality of their trans-portation is monitored. Under the newrules, contractors will have to have anagreement with the school andmust also beregistered with TCT.“A copy of the agreement between the

school and the contractor will have to be inthe vehicle at all times. School transport ve-hicles will also be clearly marked with asticker,” he says.Each driver will also be allocated a non-

transferable identification card to makesure the person behind the wheel is author-ised to drive the vehicle.“During a recent operation, we arrested

adriverwhowasdrunkat 07:00 in themorn-ing. Can we entrust our children into sucha person’s hands?” Van den Berg asks.“It is important that the designated per-

son is behind the vehicle’s steering wheelso that this individual can be held responsi-ble if anything happens. Drivers will alsohave to undergo eye and special drivingtests.”One of the most important aspects of the

new rules will be that particularly primaryschool childrenmust be accompanied by ei-ther a parent or a teacher in their schoolbuses.“We’ve had a case where a two-year-old

boy stood on the pavement, unaware ofwhere his school is. Hewas just dropped off.There are also many cases where childrenare dropped on the other side of a busyhigh-way. We want to eliminate all these prob-lems.”The new rules will also include that

school buses have soft seats and first aidkits.Contractors must also provide TCT with

detailed routes.“We do not want a situation where school

transport infringes on existing routes cov-ered by other modes of transport.”

CRIME: EVENT TO CALL FOR AN END

Call for harsherpunishmentASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Enough is enough.The attempted rape of a volunteer

at a “sporting for your cause” eventin April last year has spurred TracyLinde into action to get this messageacross.Linde, managing director of an events

company, is on amission to secure harsh-er punishment for perpetrators of specif-ic crimes.In a letter to parliament Linde calls on

government to consider the rights of thevictims of all violent crimes and, on theirbehalf, to consider harsher penalties forthose responsible for the brutal killings,torture or rape of any person throughoutSouth Africa.“We have had enough of the rapes in

our country,” Linde says.She says the letter further states that

every week there are newspaper and po-lice reports of children being brutallyraped and murdered “at the hands ofruthless savages”.Linde says: “The attacks are becoming

more and more violent in nature andmore frequent. We stand together withthe mothers, sisters and daughters ofSouthAfrica in adesperate call for an endto the current deaths and rapes of ourchildren.”She says jail sentences have no mean-

ing to killers and rapists. “Crimedoes notaffect any particular race or creed; ratherwe are all affected and victims of crime.It is time something is done to solve thisproblem,” she says.The Enough is Enough big walk event

will take place on Saturday 5 April atMouille Point Light House to help raisefunds to assist victims of rape and abuse.A petition will also be handed over to arepresentative of parliament on the day.Entry fee is R30, while children under 16can join for free.

She says rape andmurder is not a “fun”topic to discuss and people would ratherturn a blind eye.However, Linde believes the more peo-

ple turn a blind eye the more crime willtake place.“Do you really want to be the person

whocouldhavemadeadifference, but didnot and your child or friends’ childrenland up being the next victim? This eventmay not stop it 100%, but we have to try,”she says.Linde explains that during the attempt-

ed rape of a staffmember, thewomanwasamarshal assisting eight charities on theday.“Two men came up to her and tried to

rape her, but a car driving by pulled overand helped her to escape,” she says.Linde explains the two men ran away

andwere never found. Her events compa-ny assisted the womanwithmedical careand counselling for a few weeks after theevent.This event gave birth to the Enough is

Enough campaign, which seeks to raiseawareness of rape, crimeandabuse in thecountry.“Mymain inspiration for the name and

to take action and stop thinking so muchand to just do was and still is the littlenine-year-old girl who died after she wasraped, set a light and left for dead inDelft,” she says.Linde says people should stop sitting

back and complaining over social mediaabout the rapes and murders takingplace, but instead do something, includ-ing taking part in the Enough is Enoughevent.“This is your chance to not only help

a child victim of rape get themedical careshe needs, but to help make our govern-ment change the laws. Also,” Linde says“to make those thinking about rape ormurder to think twice.”V For more information of the event or to sign thepetition visit www.worldwideevents.org.

Calitz eyes world recordHe set a new course record in 2012; then heset anotherwhen he ascendedmore than theheight of Mount Everest in 11 hours lastyear.Now AJ Calitz has the Guinness World

Record in his sights.Calitz will attempt to run up Table Moun-

tain’s Platteklip Gorge more than 14 timesduring this year’s edition of the K-Way Plat-teklip Charity Challenge (PCC).His aim is to break the Guinness World

Record for the “Greatest vertical heightclimbing stairs in 12 hours”.Calitz will ascend Platteklip, run from the

top of the Gorge to the cable station, take thecable car down and then bundle into a wait-ing car, which will take him swiftly to thebottom of the Gorge for his next ascent.He will be aiming for at least 14 ascents

to better the existing record.“Driving from the cableway to the start of

Platteklip, instead of running, will save meat least five or six minutes per lap and I’vegot the chance to relax and eat properly inthe car,” Calitz says.“The ride also gives me the chance to re-

cover mentally for the next one. Whenyou’ve completed a lap or two and know you

have another 13 to go; that time to relax isimportant.”The annual K-Way PPC sees individual

and team participants push themselves toascend the Platteklip Gorge hiking trail, de-scend via the cableway and return to the bot-tom of the Gorge as many times as possiblebetween sunrise and sunset.Participants not aiming to set records will

run or walk from the bottom cable car sta-tion to the foot of the gorge.The course is 5.5km, with the steep 2.1km

long climb ascending 760m up 800 double-size steps.

Last year Calitz completed the entirecourse twelve times in the 11-hour durationof the race.His 12 summits addup to anaccu-mulative 9120m of climb, almost 300m high-er than Mount Everest.The current Guinness World Record of

10 060m is held by Chris Solarz, who repeat-edly climbed 48 flights of stairs in the ThreeLogan Place building in Philadelphia in2011.The Platteklip Charity Challenge has sup-

ported Joe Slovo Park’s Sinenjongo HighSchool since 2012, with funds raised throughdonations and sponsorship.All funds raised go towards salaries for ad-

ditional English, maths and science teach-ers, and a part-time social worker.The Challenge starts at 07:00 on Saturday

5 April.V To enter or donate visit www.charitychallenge.co.za.

Trophy back in WP’s cabinetLIAM MOSES@LiamCPT

The Western Province Softball women’steam coach has heaped praise on her playersafter the team’s National Provincial Cham-pionship (NPC) win over the weekend.

Province suffered just one loss in the tour-nament and beat Tshwane in the final atTurfhall on Sunday to claim the title.

Coach Margi Hill credits every player forthe victory.

“I’m overwhelmed and extremely proud ofthe players’ performances,” says Hill.

“You can have a game plan but if the play-ers don’t execute it, you won’t win. I can’tdescribe how proud I am of the girls. Theywere determined to win this.”

Hill says she never doubted her team’sability to win the tournament.

WP went into the NPC as favourites anddidn’t disappoint, drubbing KwaZulu-Natal11-1 in their opening game.

They pulled off several other heavy victo-ries during the tournament – Limpopo werebrushed aside 18-0, Central Gauteng weredispatched 14-2, Eastern Cape were thrashed15-0 and North West Province were pum-melled 29-1. Tshwane were the only side tobeat WP, edging the hosts 7-5 on Saturdaymorning.

However, Province made up for the losswith a comfortable 9-2 win in the play-offson Saturday evening and a 8-5 win in the fi-nal on Sunday.

Province’s Nicole Fortune describes thevictory as “meaningful” for all of her team-

mates. “It was nice to bring the title back toCape Town considering WP didn’t partici-pate at last year’s NPC. We hadn’t won fortwo years before that, after having held it forso long before then,” she says.

“It was awesome to win and even betterto win at home. We had so much supportwith all the spectators coming throughoutthe tournament.”

Fortune says the games were still toughdespite the massive scores posted by herteam mates.

The WP men’s team narrowly missed outon a place in the tournament final after a lossin the play-offs. They suffered just two de-feats heading into the knockout stages –against Tshwane and Limpopo.

However, the men’s side came undoneagainst Erkuruleni in the knockout rounds,losing 3-2. Province had defeated the sameErkuruleni side 4-0 in the group stages. Theloss meant WP finished the tournament infourth.

‘Team spirit will win Varsity Cup’LIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Ikey Tigers coach Kevin Musikanth believes the VarsityCup final will come down to “who wants it more” in-stead of the game’s technical aspects.UCT will face the North West University (Pukke) in

Potchefstroom on Monday, after beating arch rivals Stel-lenbosch University in the semi-final this week.

“The rugby stuff was prepared months before, so it’s thelittle things that (will) make the difference,” Musikanthsays.

“It’s about the love the guys have for each other and thatfact that they enjoy playing together. You have to be (a)good rugby team to reach the play-offs, so generally thereis parity in the final. It’s the little things (such as) teamtogetherness and morale that (will) make the differencein terms of winning.”

Musikanth says UCT’s morale is high, as indicated inthe semi-final win over Maties. “One of the major reasonswhy we won the semi-final was because the guys enjoybeing together; they didn’t want this campaign to end.”

UCT produced an accomplished performance to see offMaties in semi-final, scoring two tries to win 20-8.

Wing Lihleli Xoli and eighth-man Michael Botha got thetries, while flyhalf Dean Grant scored two penalties andtwo conversions. Stellenbosch responded through a tryfrom scrumhalf Jean Nel and flyhalf Robert du Preez’sconversion late in the match.

The Ikeys will have to produce another clinical showingto top Pukke in the final.

The hosts thrashed UCT 47-24 at the Green Mile in theopening game of the competition in early February.

But Musikanth says both sides have changed and pro-gressed since then.

“I don’t think we will go into the final any differentlythan any other game we have prepared for,” he says.

“The loss to Pukke was our first game almost nine weeksago. Both teams are vastly different in the way they per-form now. We won’t go into it differently, but our perform-ance will be vastly different.”

Pukke’s only loss this season came at home against Mat-ies, a side that UCT beat both home and away in the round-robin stages and the semis respectively.

The Ikeys will hope to emulate their local rivals to winthe final and their second Varsity Cup title.V The final will be broadcast live on Supersport at 19:00.
