Residents of Hanover Parkcould soon be welcoming newneighbours.
Plans for a new housing develop-ment project are in full swing asthe City of Cape Town have ear-marked eight plots for procure-ment.
Ward councillorAntoniovanderRheede says they are unsure whenthe project will commence or howmany people will benefit.
“The project is run by the City’sHuman Settlements directorate.The project is in the first phase ofre-zoning and is aimed at address-ing the need for housing in thecommunity,” he says.
Van der Rheede says the keys tothe new houses will be distributedaccording to the City’s housingwaiting list.
Five of the eight plots have beenacquired with another three cur-rently in process.
The proposed plots that havebeen reserved for the developmentare situated on the corners ofGreenturf and Lonston roads, Der-ment Lane and Ryston Road, Lon-ston and Johndown roads, Stone-lands Road and Athury Walk, andAthwood and Stonelands roads.
The plots in process are situatedon the corners of Ryston Road andAnthia Walk, Rywood and Lone-down roads and between Down-berg and Ryberg roads.
The City hoped the reservationof the other three plots would becompleted by the end of August sothat procurement of budget couldbegin, but missed deadlines forcomment in theCity’s departmentscaused a delay in the overall re-port.
Mayoral Committee member forHuman Settlements SiyabulelaMamkeli says they have a provi-sional plan in place.
“A preliminary assessment ofthe identified sites has indicatedthat the potential exists to provide
about 600 housing opportunities.But we must emphasise there is noway of knowing the final numberuntil plans are drawn up,” he says.
The open fields are used asdumping sites, informal soccerfields, a practice ground for avidgolfers and as recreational facili-ties over weekends.
Hanover Park Civic Associationmember Fagmie Abass says theyare not in favour of the develop-ment. “We don’t want to be nega-tive but last time they built housesit was not for the benefit of our resi-dents. We need open spaces andsportsfields and space to breathe.If they build more it will be toodensely populated and we don’t
want that,” he says.Other residents have expressed
mixed feelings about the develop-ments.
Edgar Daries says he sees noneed for the extra housing.
“I don’t see any squatter campsin Hanover Park so I am thinkingthe houses they put up won’t be forour people. It must be for the bene-fit of others in the surrounding are-as and that’s not fair,” he says.
Ashley Adams agrees. “If theybuild more houses they need tomake sure residents of HanoverPark get first preference becausewe are closest. Why should otherpeople benefit before us?” she says.
Abass agrees. “We supported
them last time because they said itwas for Hanover Park but it wasn’tand the residents were upset. Wedon’t want a repeat of that.”
But Mamkeli says the houseswill directly benefit the communi-ty. “We see the provision of hous-ing opportunities as vital to enableredress. “Residents of HanoverPark who are registered on theHousing Database and who meetthe qualifying criteria for a hous-ing subsidy will benefit from thisdevelopment,” he assures.
Potential beneficiaries mustearn a combined gross monthly in-come not exceeding R3 500 amonth. They must not own proper-ty and must not have benefited
from a housing subsidy before.The project was first tabled at
Subcouncil 17 in 2012 and has notyet been sent for public participa-tion.
Melissa Muller, a resident, saysshe supports the initiative.
“Houses are essential and a basichuman right. It shows the govern-ment is addressing our needs as acommunity,” she insists.
It is unclear when constructionwill commence, Mamkeli says.
“A professional team will be ap-pointed to undertake the legisla-tive processes for housing and se-curing the rights to develop thevarious sites so that we can movethe project forward.”

DISTRICT SIX
Trust may haveto pay outNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
T he District Six RedevelopmentTrust, which represents the benefici-aries of two land restitution housing
projects, may be ordered to pay money outto claimants.
These claimants are believed to have
paid the organisation R225 000 for theirstake in the third phase of the develop-ment.
However, the organisation has since dis-tanced itself from the construction.
Gugile Nkwinti, the minister of rural de-velopment and land reform, recently metwithover 700District Six claimantswhore-quested that he consults the Minister ofJustice and Constitutional DevelopmentMichael Masutha that the District Six De-velopment Trust pays the money to its ben-eficiaries.
This is according to Rural Developmentand Land Reform regional spokespersonVuyani Nkasayi. “Claimants eligible forrepayment include those who have paid acontribution of R225 000 to the District SixBeneficiary Trust,” he says.
Trust chairperson Anwah Nagia says themoney was not taken under false pretenc-es. “The funds were a contribution towardsbigger properties, as the government onlypays for 70m², leaving another 40m² whichthe claimants had to pay for.”
The third housing development hasmuch smaller properties and the addition-al funds are no longer needed, Nagia says.
“The money is in trust and all we needis a letter from the minister of Rural Devel-opment and Land Reform. We will thenhand the money over to him, and he canallocate it,” he says.
The Trust announced in June that itwould withdraw from the third phase ofhousing developments (“Land squabble in-tensifies”, People’s Post, 26 June).
The third phase will see almost 300homes built.
Thehouses –whichare around60m² –un-dermine the trust’s vision for the areawhich would allow residents to obtainbusiness rights to their properties, accord-ing to Nagia. However, in order for largerhomes to be built, claimants would have tocontribute around R250 000.

CRIME
Gang strikesSAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
False number plates and dead-endsare all the police have to work within a case they have been trying to
crack for the past six months.Lansdowne police say the latest devel-
opment in the so-called crowbar gang’smethod is the use of false and stolennumber plates.
Police say the gang, whice uses crow-bars to break into cars and houses, havebeen quiet over the past few weeks buthave struck again.
At the latest Sector 2 imbizo, uneasyKenwyn residents voiced their concernsthat the group may be expanding to areasbeyond the suburb.
“We need to do something to stop theseguys. I’ve lived here for so long and I amnow afraid they will strike me and my ar-ea next. Rondebosch East is not that farfrom Kenwyn and how do we know theywon’t try?” asked one resident.
Lansdowne police spokesperson Ser-geant Nkululeko Mnyaka says: “We aretracking them, but they are making it dif-ficult for us to catch them. We never geta clear description of the guys and evenwhen we get registration numbers andvehicle descriptions it doesn’t get us any-where. When we look up the platenumber it turns out to be a totally differ-ent car.”
Another frustration is the getawaycars, as the group have been cleverly opt-ing to use familiar cars.
“We have made the connection with a
BMW, VW and sometimes even Hyunda-is. There is no way to pinpoint what carthey are using,” he says.
Although some speculate the group isworking within a syndicate, police saythey cannot be certain of this.
“Until we find evidence that links thecrime scenes we cannot say it is the samegroup. They could be copycat groups orworking together; we don’t know forsure. Although the modes match up,sometimes victims describe three men,other times four.”
Mnyaka confirmed that number platetheft has been on the increase. Last yearfour foreign nationals were arrested andcharged for crimes committed using thesame method, but Mnyaka says he can’testablish a clear link as fingerprints andidentikits don’t match up.
LanRoe Neighbourhood Watch chair-person Adam Fisher confirms he has vid-eo footage of the perpetrators in action.“We want to schedule a meeting with thenew station commander and all the rela-tive roleplayers to address this issuehead on. We have to work together,” hesuggested.
Mnyaka says Lansdowne police willcontinue to work tirelessly to bring allthose responsible to book.
“Residents must not be so relaxedabout their safety. Take an active interestin your neighbours and neighbourhood.This will make a difference.”

Pupils protest for PalestineSAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
Even the children are lending their voicesin a bid to see an end to the bloodshed in Pal-estine.
On Thursday pupils at Madrassa Rodhatu-lilm came together in Lonedown Road,Hanover Park to show their support for Pal-estine.
Madrassa teacher Nadia Naidoo says thechildren are educated about the unrest.
“They came together and decided that wewould dress in the colours and support Pal-estine on their own. We speak to them aboutthe war and the bloodshed so even at this
young age they know what is going on inGaza,” she says.
The group of about 20 had just startedwhen the first raindrops fell late that after-noon and had to make a quick retreat.
Naidoo says they will continue to showtheir support through peaceful protest andin other ways as long as the war and unrestcontinues.
The group aged between five and 15 yearswho attend the madrassa every afternoon,chanted “Free Palestine” and an Arabicprayer, attracting attention and supportfrom passersby.
Naidoo hopes their initiative will helpdrum up more awareness and support.

KIDNEY WEEK
A fighting chanceTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
About 10% of all people in the worldhave some form of kidney disease.
This frightening statistic was re-leased by National Renal Care and HealthyStart practitioner Raseda Samaai, who saysthis is an illness that strikeswhen you least expect it.
Do you have a high bloodpressure, a burning sensa-tion when you urinate, orpuffy eyes, hands and feet?Do you suffer from fatigue,shortness of breath, loss ofappetite, nausea and vomit-ing, constant thirst or a badtaste in the mouth?
During National KidneyWeek,which runs fromTues-day 2 September to Saturday6 September, residents areencouraged to find outwhether kidney disease af-fects you and pledge to be-come a kidney donor.
Renal specialist Dr KeithHoughton says salt and highblood pressure are two silentkillers. “A high salt intake and hyperten-sion are two of the most common causes ofkidney disease. By the time many peoplepresent with symptoms and signs of kidneydisease (especially hypertension and diabe-tes), it may be too late to have prevented se-rious kidney and/or cardio-vascular dys-function,” he explains. “The kidneys arethe filters of the body and are used to pro-duce urine and excrete unwanted waste inthe body. Kidneys produce 150F of urine aday, but keep back 149F of useful substanc-es, like protein, and excrete 2Fof waste.”
Houghton says when kidneys no longerfunction properly the body is slowly poi-soned and cannot get rid of or produce es-sential hormones and nutrients.
“When your kidneys don’t work properlythe body cannot get rid of the unwantedwaste, it can’t provide the nutrients to takecare of our bones and joints, allowing for asolid and healthy skeleton and can’t controlthe amount of acidity and alkalinity (pH) in
the body. It also won’t be able to producechemicals which control our blood pres-sure, and produce other chemicals whichproduce our red blood cells and this willlead to insufficient oxygen supply to thebody. The kidneys are also responsible fordestroying chemicals and hormones whichthe body doesn’t need any more like insu-
lin.”A healthy lifestyle is the
easiest way to prevent kid-ney disease. “Not smoking,limiting alcohol intake,drinking lots of water andexercise all play a big rolein the prevention of kidneyfailure.”
He says maintaining ahealthy diet is also impor-tant.
Sammy Sampson hasbeen living with a donorkidney for 27 years andsays life doesn’t stop afterrenal failure. “If you detectthe problem early enoughyou can go on dialysis andreceive a transplant if needbe,” he says.
Sampson spent sixmonths on dialysis before his transplant.“My mother and four siblings all tested tosee if they could donate me a kidney butnone were a match. I received my kidneyfrom a young man who died in a car acci-dent. I need to take 20 tablets a day but lifegoes on. All we need are people who are will-ing to donate their kidneys.”
Samaai says part of her job as national co-ordinator for renal care is to create aware-ness of kidney disease.
To this end, she has arranged a PatientForum with the theme The gift of life.
The event will consist of presentationsby, among others, a kidney specialist andpatients undergoing treatments. It takesplace on Saturday 13 September from 14:00to 17:00 at the Samaj Centre in Gatesville.
The event will be open to all kidney pa-tients and a relative of each.V For more information contact Samaai on079 490 4773. Visit www.odf.org.za to find out aboutbeing an organ donor.
HEALTH FIRST: Sammy Sampson takes 20 tablets per day.

Residents are being warned to look outfor groups of children, who seem inno-cent but are actually out to rob you for
laughs.In a latest trend, children between the ag-
es of nine and 12 years are threateningwomenwith toyguns inandaroundManen-berg.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant Ian Ben-nett says theyareworkingon taking correc-tive action.
“These childrenare easily influencedandsomehow we have to set up a way to chargethe parents with neglect. They don’t knowany better and need guidance. We are plan-ning to work head on with the communityand the schools to change it before it is toolate,” he says.
Onewitness says she sawanelderlywom-an walking home with her groceries whenthree young boys walked up to her.
They threatened her with a gun androbbed her. Bennett confirmed they used atoy gun.
“The sentiment behind it remains thesame. Where did this child get off that steal-ing was okay? Again I emphasise that theparents must be held accountable. They seeadults doing this and then they mimic theirbehaviour,” he says.
According to the Child Protection Act, po-lice are not able to arrest the children andthey know that, Bennett says.
“When are we going to have peace?” asksa mother. “I don’t think I will live to see it.We need to be there for our children andshow them love when they need it. We muststart from the day they are born and notleave it until it is too late and they becomegangsters.”
Bennett says children are often used byolder, more hardened criminals.
“The youngest gun runner I met waseight years old and the youngest drug ad-dict was six. Children are exposed to allthese bad influences daily and they arebound to slip if action is not taken.”
The mother blames a lack of extra-muralactivities.
“There is nothing here for the children.Theymust growandbe curiousbutwemustteach them good strong foundations andmorals. If we had a soccer field or a spacethat can be theirs to play and grow and besafe from this then a lot would change.”
Bennett says government should take aninterest in Manenberg.
“We have approached organisations inthe surrounding areas to help set up extra-mural activities andarts programmes.Gov-ernment must get involved because this isnot only a police mandate. We need to worktogether,” he says.

Citywide residents’ associations and civic-minded organ-isations are raising funds and awareness to introduceCCTV cameras.
This is being done in an attempt to curb the free reignof criminal activity.
From Mitchell’s Plain to the Atlantic coastline, resi-dents and businesses are bearing the brunt of flagrant dis-regard for personal safety. Private property and personalspace is invaded without concern for the long arm of thelaw or even, if criminals are eventually apprehended,stints courtesy of correctional services.
In short, the crooks in Cape Town simply don’t care foryour safety. In their haste to fill out the wish lists in thecriminal world, your possessions – however hard comeby – are eyed, scoped out and stolen.
Does it even make sense to show off your jewellery orfancy cellphone? It would be foolish to think so and to actin like manner.
After multiple warnings from police and communitysafety organisations, you have only yourself to blamewhen you’ve brandished your top-end cellphone, iPad,laptop or watch only to see these disappearing into thedistance in the hand of a common criminal. Bear in mindit is the job of a crook to steal, and the onus is on anyonenot wanting to be a victim to protect and hide their goods.
Eventually the whole of Cape Town – from the town-ships to areas populated by tourists – will be covered an-gle to angle by CCTV cameras.
It is hoped the crooks will get the message: crime doesnot – and shouldnot – pay.Youwill get caught, eventually.
Meanwhile, Cape Town will join major cities of theworld like London and New York as the most photo-graphed citizens.
Minor infringements like traffic violations will also beunder scrutiny.
It will go a long way to assisting law enforcement andeven the insurance industry in determining guilt or inno-cence.
Time will tell if this will help curb crime.
Building a relationshipMy husband and I purchased a wendy housefrom Greystone with the assurance they usethe best quality material.
They advised us at the time the wendyhouse will be insured for a year. Almost amonth after the insurance expired, we no-ticed the wendy house’s roof was leaking.When I contacted them at the time, I was ad-vised they cannot assist as the insurance ex-pired. This I accepted and tried to fix theroof. However, the leaking persisted due torusted roof sheets.
I phoned Greystone and as the womangave me the same “expired insurance”speech, someone – her boss, I think – advisedher that if the roof sheets are rusting, theyneed to investigate. They sent someone tohave a look and we were then advised it isdefinitely rust and theywill revertwith feed-back. On Wednesday 13 August I phonedGreystone again to find out if they have anyfeedback and was advised they are waitingon the supplier of the roof sheets to givethem feedback so they can advise us. Iphoned again on Tuesday 19 August and wasadvised the supplier is not taking responsi-bility for bad roof sheets. However they can’tadvise anything until the boss advises andthey will get back to me. I phoned again andwas told the boss hasn’t been in the officesince Wednesday, but that he would be in[later] and they will phone me.
Greystone is more expensive than mostother places that offer their service. Howev-er, because of the assurance of quality wewere persuaded to use them. They had noproblem arranging finance for us so nowthey are paid yet we are still paying for aleaking wendy house. It’s very distressingthat Greystone can be so flippant about cus-
tomer care when they are supposed to be thebest in the industry.LYNN FREEMANEmailCarmen Thomas, Greystone operationsmanager, responds: On 6 August Ms Free-man called in to report the problem she washaving with the roof sheets on her wendyhouse which we erected more than a yearago.
Shewas informed that thewarrantyon theroof had already expired but we would senda site inspector around to check the condi-tion of the roof. This was duly done and theroof sheets on the wendy house are verydamaged and rusted as per our inspection.
We advised her we would take this matterup with our suppliers and revert to her. Dur-ing this time Ms Freeman dealt with me butunfortunately I do not have the authorisa-tion to order and replace supplies. My imme-diate superior was in and out of the officehence the delay in concluding this com-plaint and Ms Freeman’s frustration.
Greystone has decided it would be point-less taking this matter any further with oursupplier but they have been informed of thecondition of the roof sheets.
We have never experienced a complaint ofthis nature before. Normally we have com-plaints of leakages but never rust and theleakages we attend to when they are report-ed to us.
We will replace and fit Ms Freeman’s roofsheets at a time convenient for her butplease take into account the impending in-clement weather we are and will be experi-encing.
Our building department will confirm adate and time with Ms Freeman.
Pupils left out in the coldWhen I take my son to school in the morn-ings I have to witness an outdated and cruelpractice. Why are primary school pupilsforced to stand outside in the pouring rainat pedestrian crossings?
It is understandable that schools want toteach children a sense of responsibility byputting them on traffic duty in the morn-ings, but is it really necessary for them to
do this during winter?Surely teachers can use some common
sense and see that it is unethical and border-ing on child abuse. If the children gets sickstanding in the rain, the school will not payfor their medical bills.
Teachers get paid to look after the chil-dren, but they sit in a warm staff room,drinking coffee and tea, while the children
freeze outside.What is even more alarming is that traffic
officers occasionally make an appearance tooversee this barbaric custom. A governmentofficial should really know better.
It is an important and life-saving job tousher pupils across a pedestrian crossing,but there is no reason why teachers can’t doit themselves when it is raining.
It is, after all, their job to care for the chil-dren. Is it not?EDWIN KANNEMEYER
An army forMalema?The ruling party’s decision to bring in thearmy to protect parliament from the loud-mouth Malema, clad in red overalls and ametal hat, can only be described as histrion-ic.
The services of the army are desperatelyneeded in our townships, to protect the com-munity from the stray bullets of warringgangs. In the townships the community hasto face the live ammunition of gangs at war;in parliament, members are only attackedverbally, so there is no need at all for themto turn to the army for protection.
The two chosen spokespersons for the rul-ing party, Jesse Duarte and Gwede Man-tashe, are doing their party a great disserv-ice with their flippant comments. Everytime they open their mouths, they put theirfoot into it.
At no time did the public protector implyshe is above parliament; she was merely do-ing what was expected of her and that is toprotect the public from any form of abuse,regardless of their standing. It is an absoluteinsult for these spokespeople from the rul-ing party to suggest the public protector isworking in cahootswitha rabble-rouser likeMalema. Thuli Madonesela is intelligentenough to stand her ground without anyhelp from people like Malema. It is the otherway around: Malema has been using herfindings to embarrass the ruling party.
The reactions of the ruling party overEFF’s behaviour in parliament are a clearsign that the party has become totally belea-guered by a lack of wise and prudent counselto take them out of the embarrassing im-passe in which they find themselves.DR EV RAPITI

Realising realitiesof teen parentingTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
A couple is hoping to pre-vent teenage pregnanciesin a new eye-opening way.
Giving childrenadose ofreality is one way Wayneand Bernadette Duddyhope to prevent teenagersfrom becoming parentssooner than expected.
The couple imported 13computer-operated babieswhich simulate the ac-tions of a real baby.
Three of the babies havebeen especially designed toshow the physical drawbacks of ba-bies suffering from Foetal AlcoholSyndrome (FAS), drug use andwhat is known as a shaken baby.The other 10 babies indicate per-fect health.
Bernadette explains that eachbaby is programmed and given acertificate before being handedover to the new ‘parent’.
“The teenager then gets to takethe baby home for a week and is ex-pected to care for the baby the waya full-time parent would. The babyneeds to eat, be cleaned and han-dled correctly. All information islogged onto the computer and atthe end of the week a report card
is provided.”She has been saving up for five
years to buy these babies with thehelp of her husband because “it hasalways been my dream to helpteens”.
“Years ago I realised there is abig need in our community to edu-cate the youth about the reality ofhaving a baby while you are still ateenager,” she says.
“I realised pamphlets and talksat school are not reaching childrenin a productive or effective man-ner.”
Since receiving the babies threemonths ago, Bernadette has al-ready received positive feedback
from teens who have triedthe experiment.
“Once the week is com-pleted most of the childrenare exhausted and realisewhat hard work it is to takecare of a child. So manyhave said they will nowthink twice before havingunprotected sex and someof the older children havestopped drinking andsmoking as a result of theFAS and drug baby experi-ments,” she says. “Some-times you have to be cruelto be kind and that is whatthis programme is doing.”
Wayne says they are excited totake the experiment to schools andcommunity organisations.
“Anyone who wants to make useof our services can contact us andset up a date. We would like to goto as many primary and highschool, youth groups and organisa-tions which have identified a needto educate children on teenagepregnancies and substance abuseduring pregnancy. We mainly fo-cus on children but are willing toassist with older generation too.”
Suzette Little, Mayco memberfor Early Childhood Development,says council approved the pro-gramme.

Vicious dogs bite pensionerCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
A pensioner has been confinedto her bed after being bitten bythree vicious dogs in Knoll Roadin Ottery.
Hester Ingham (65) says thenightmare started when shewas on her way to a nearby cafewhen the three dogs charged ather. “It was a terrible experi-ence. Those dogs dragged me inthe road as they bit me. Myshoes were ripped from my feetand the pair of socks I had onwere left in shreds,” she recalls.
The incident was noticed bythree men passing by, says Ing-ham. “These guys heard myscreams and were able to callthe dogs away from me. Theychased the dogs back into theyard.”
The owner of the dogs couldnot be reached at our time ofprint. Since the incident Ing-ham has been attending hospi-tal to have her wounds treated.
“I have bite marks all over mybody. It’s extremely painful andnow I have to get wound dress-ing every second day from theday hospital,” she says.
Ingham has made many at-tempts to get the owners of thedogs to take responsibility forthe incident. “They allow thedogs to roam outside, knowingthey are dangerous. They weretold of the incident where I wasbitten and I need assistance topay my medical bills. Everytime I go tohospital I have topay
someone for petrol to take methere and back. It costs me R60.I can’t afford it but the ownersrefuse to take responsibility,”says the visibly upset woman.
The incident has subsequent-ly been reported to the authori-ties and the dogs were impound-ed. The dogs were taken to theAtlantis pound for safekeepingas there was no space availableat any pound in Cape Town aswell as due to an outbreak of ca-nine distemper at the GrassyPark impound.
The City’s executive directorfor Safety and Security, RichardBosman, confirms all three dogswere impounded after com-plaints were received from resi-dents. “The City’s Animal Con-trol Unit would have to estab-lish whether there was a primafacie contravention of the ani-mal bylaw. This includes takingaffidavits from complainantsand witnesses, completing achecklist of the premises wherethe dog/s is kept, obtaining pho-tographs and medical records ofthe injuries sustained, and col-lecting any other evidence,” hesays. He also confirmed that adog may not be released to itsowner if the release will resultin a contravention of the rele-vant sections of the animal by-law. “In this particular case, thedogs were impounded by theCity’s Animal Control Unit onWednesday and taken to the At-lantis pound. The penalty im-posed will be at the discretion ofthe prosecutor in the case.”

Dirty Whites move to the topTASMIN CUPIDO
@TazzCup
Come the 2015 club rugby sea-son, the Southern Suburbswill boast with six teams in
the top tier of Western Provinceclub rugby.
Following the final round ofmatches in the top three leagueslast weekend, the five teams withcurrent Super League A status ce-mented their spots for next year.
AndwithVillagerRFCwinningthe Super League B title aftertheir 25-23 victory over Sir Lowri-ans RFC at Brookside on Satur-day, the Claremont side will re-turn to Super League A next sea-son.
Maties were crowned SLAchampions for the third consecu-tive year, after Hamilton RFCcould not hold of the Maroon Ma-chine’s charge in their 27-25 lossat Danie Craven Stadium on Sat-urday.
The Stellenbosch side were de-served winners, as they were theonly undefeated side in theleague.
But Hammies’ loss comes at acost for UCT, as they had to settlefor second place.
The Green Point side finishedthe season in third place.
The last round of matches alsohad a bittersweet ending for FalseBay RFC – they thrashed NNK58-3 at Philip Herbstein Field, buthad to be content with the fifthplace finish and no spot in theCommunity Cup.
Going into the weekend theConstantia club still had hopes ofmaking the national rugby cham-pionships, but Durbanville-Bel-lville’s 38-22 victory over BellvilleRFC meant they, not The Bay,would feature in next year’s Com-munity Cup.
Both Primrose RFC and SKWalmers finished their seasonson a low, as Roses were defeated34-33 by UWC and Victorians beatWalmers 46-31.
V In SLB, Mitchell’s Plain clubCollegians RFC ensured theywould remain in the second high-est league in the Cape as they beatGoodwood 42-22 in Lentegeur.
Despite their 39-32 loss away toBrackenfell RFC, Surrey EstateRangers will also retain their SLBstatus next season.
V In Super League C,Lansdowne’s Violets RFC weredefeated 20-10 bya spirited andde-termined Franschhoek United,who were the league’s eventualwinners. Silvertree RFC werehammered 17-43 by Strand at Mal-ta Park in Sybrandt Park.
The outcome of the MIT Rang-ers and Northerns RFC match atAvonwood Park in Elsies River isnot known. It is believed thematch had been called off as a re-sult of ill-discipline on the pitch,
but this could not be confirmed atthe time of going to print.
While the matches in the topthree leagues have come to anend, the teams in the Champions,City and Southern leagues will re-main in action this weekend.
WP Rugby also needs to finalisethe teams and fixtures for thePresident’s Cup, which be playedat City Park later this month.
V On Saturday Masiphumelelewill travel to Philippi to take onBlue Stars United in the Champi-
ons League, while CaledonianRoses host Young Stars at NollAvenue.
