After a strip clubwas raided and two arrestsmade for prostitution, a call has been madeto relook the licensing systemused fornight-clubs.

The current system licences nightclubsand strip clubs under the same category.

The Embassy, Cape Town’s number onegentlemen’s club according to their website,was raided on Friday 2 August by the ViceSquad, Hawks and members of the PublicOrder Police after they received reports thatprostitution was taking place.

Officials found 17 foreign nationals and ahost of local women working at the estab-lishment.People’s Post was not able to establish

what work these women did at the night-club.

Two suspects, whose gender was not re-leasedby lawenforcement,were arrested forprostitution and running a brothel.

The strip club, according to the City ofCapeTown’s executive director of safety andsecurity Richard Bosman, is licensed to op-erate as a bar.

“Any establishment, whether situated ina business or residential area, is governedunder the authority of the Land-Use Ordi-nance Act which grants permission for spe-cific business activity to take place on theland. In the case of Embassy, it is only al-lowed to operate as a bar; any other typesof activities are prohibited.”

He says this is because there is no addi-tional category to differentiate a strip clubfrom any other club with live entertain-ment.

“There is no such licence for a gentle-man’s club, only for a facility that operatesas a bar. The difference between a gentle-man’s clubandanightclub is that the formeris not allowed to have any live entertain-ment on the premises and can only operateas a bar.”

Ward councillor Dave Bryant says licenc-es for bars are issued by the environmentalhealth department, but need to appear be-fore the subcouncil for approval.

“Unless you can prove prostitution is tak-ing place by witnessing the solicitation, youhave to treat it like any other business. Wedo sometimes have suspicions, but we needproof before we can act.”

Bosman adds: “As an ongoing preventiveaction to curb such illegal activities, regularinspections are performed on such premis-es. Not many reports are received by indi-viduals with regard to these premises asthese activities are conducted very discreet-ly and are mostly uncovered through inves-tigative work.”

But some have raised the concern that en-forcement is being hampered by a lack ofregulations, such as licences.

City resident Lilly Sibanda says thereshould be different licences for night clubsand strip clubs.

“It’s different to a nightclub with bands.If you made a different licence for stripclubs, it would be easier to enforce becauseyou know which is which.”

However, Capetonian Jerome Kruger dis-agrees. “I’ve never been to a strip club andI don’t even go to nightclubs, but I think it’sfine if they have the same licences. Theyoungsters like dancing and that kind ofthing. As long as it has a licence, it’s fine.”

Bryant says a separate licence would pos-sibly make enforcement easier, but it wouldhave to be drafted into legislation.

“The fact that this arrest was made is a

win for us. It shows that we have ways to ex-pose those who exploit the system.”

Bryant says there are a few suspicious es-tablishments in the CBD, with some tradingquite openly as massage parlours.

“What we’re really concerned with is ex-ploitation, such as human trafficking or un-derage prostitution. If it’s not regulated, it’sdifficult to enforce.”

When faced with an emergency, the firstthing you need is help. But when that help isa phonecall away and no one is answering,you could feel like you’re left hanging.

A businessman says he’s called the 10111emergency number on numerous occasionsand had terrible experiences.

“I witnessed a robbery where people werestabbing each other,” says theman, who doesnot want to be named.

“It was a heated situation and people weregetting hurt. I called the emergency numberand therewasno answer. Iwas frustrated andafraid, so I called again and reported the mat-ter, but the police never pitched.”

He says he no longer calls the police and in-stead drives to a police station to reportcrime.

Language also became an issue.A previous timewhen he tried reporting an

incident to 10111, “the call centre operatorasked me to refrain from speaking Afrikaansbecause he couldn’t understand me”.

He believes some 10111 operators don’thave a good command of languages spoken bythe people whom they’re serving.

An elderly woman, who does not want to be

named, says she calls 10111 at least threetimes a week to report crimes , but very sel-dom gets a response from the police.

“It’s very frustratingwhen police encour-age residents to report crimes and promiseto come to your assistance, but never pitchwhen you call,” she says.

“I tried to report a casewhere a young girlwas being raped by her grandfather, but noone answered the phone at the police sta-tion. I called (suspended chairperson of theprovincial Community Police Forum)Hanif Loonat,whowent to the police stationto report the crime.

“The rapist is now behind bars becausewemanaged to go to the police to report thecrime.What happens in cases where peoplecan’t go to the police?”

The feisty woman says she sometimestakes the law into her own hands and per-sonally removes drug peddlers from herstreet.

Other residents walk to the police stationto report crimes because their calls are notanswered.

“The service is appalling. During Ram-adaan I called to report an incident and thecall centre agent put the phone down in myear because she could not understand Eng-

lish. Another time my call was transferredto an answeringmachine saying they’re ‘notavailable at the moment’,” she recalls.

“I’m a pensioner and spendmoney buyingairtime to call and they don’t pitch.”

Heideveld Community NeighbourhoodWatch chairperson Mugidien Barnes saysthe service is at its worst over weekends.

“I’ve tried reporting shootings and domes-tic violence cases over weekends and no oneanswers the phone,” he says.

Loonat, who is suspended for criticisingthe Athlone Police Station, says he’s re-ceived countless complaints from peoplesaying they can’t get through at weekends.He says government should upgrade the sys-tem so callers can select a language prefer-ence.

Loonat says he’s relayed complaints todeputy provincial police commissionerGen-eral Sharon Japhta about the “inefficientand ineffective emergency number”.

He says some people who called thenumber were reporting shootings and do-mestic violence.

“I’ve received 30 complaints in the lastthreemonths. I also tried calling thenumberand no one answered.”

It’s better for people to call 10111 because

the system automatically logs the call andrecords the conversation, so then no one candeny facts of the conversation, he says.

Technological aspects need to improveand well-trained operators need to be em-ployed, Loonat adds.

“We should not be playing with people’slives.Money should be spent on this service,even though it’s costly, because our people’slives cannot be in danger.”

Provincial police spokesperson FC vanWyk says 10111 is a medium to receive com-plaints, which are “registered and dis-patched to the local police station or com-plaint vehicle responsible to attend to thecomplaint. It is the station commander’s re-sponsibility to attend to the complaint with-in their policing area”.

He says there are delays at busy times, likeweekends and month-end.

“All calls should be answered within twoseconds. About 63% of all calls are nuisanceand information calls.”

The Sea Point Swimming Poolwill receivea cash injection to en-sure it “remains a world-class fa-cility”.Tenders have currently been

extended for a R3m contract toupgrade the popular swimmingpool.“We are hoping to have the con-

tractor appointed and ready tostartwith theworkbyApril/May2014 and the contract period willbe three to fourmonths,” saysBe-linda Walker, the Mayoral Com-mittee member for CommunityServices and Special Projects.“The upgrade is being done to

ensure that this pool remains aworld-class facility.”The work will include repair-

ing the existing rim flows, rein-forcing expansion joints, fibrelining the pool and tiling thesteps.The upgrade will take place af-

ter peak season to ensure publicsafety.

During peak season the swim-ming pool attracts up to 60 000swimmers, but some swim allyear round regardless of theweather.One of these is chairperson of

the Friends of the Sea Point Pa-vilion, Tony Schalabrieno.“About half a dozen of us swim,

come wind or rain. I imaginewe’ll complain when the poolcloses, but the pool really is ingood condition.”Schalabrieno says the pool has

had a number of repairs over thelast year, and he is looking for-ward to those to come.“Currently maintenance is be-

ing done on the sea pumps. Wehad to have fresh water in thepool for a few months, but thereis sea water back in it now. Thedressing roomshave been redoneand retiled and the cleaning ma-chine was replaced. They’re allgreat improvements and aredone all year round.”

Cash to make a splash

Fedupwith looking through fencingwhichcloses off shared fields at the Green PointCommon, residents are now tackling theCity of Cape Town.

Although added as a security measure,locals feel the fence is locking them out ofa public space.

The barricadewas completed around theshared rugbyandcricket fields on theCom-mon in June as a security measure.

“The fencewas erected to improve the se-curity of the field and to address the van-dalismbeing experienced. Itwas also erect-ed to control unauthorised use of the field,which leads to over-play and extensive re-habilitation,” says Belinda Walker, theMayoral Committee member for Commu-nity Services and Special Projects.

The fencing leads to better control, saysMark Magielse, the chairperson of theGreen Point Ratepayers’ Association.

“The fields are well maintained, and theintent was not to keep the public out butrather to reduce problems like vandalismor damage from over-usage.”

He says the space is being used by thepublic in the form of sports clubs.

The fields are used by various sportsclubs throughout Cape Town who need aformal venue for games and matches,Walker says, but are available to the publicon Sundays.

“On Sundays the fields are open for fami-lies and any impromptu, social, no-bootsgames such as touch rugby. During theweek and on Saturdays the clubs use thefields for practices and matches.”

Anthony Phillips, who lives on thestreet, says he often used to sleep on thecommon.

“It used to be my home. To see it allfenced upmakesme very sad. I understandthat it is tomake it nicer for the public, butI think the common is betterwithout all thefences on it.”

Green Point resident Gladys Brinkhuisis against the fences.

“They should leave the common open.There aren’t many areas for people to goaround freely. What’s the use if they fenceit in? I also worry that vagrants might findit easier to sleep there if it’s fenced in be-cause they have something to erect a struc-ture against. If it’s open, itwill stay apublicspace,” she says.

Ward councillor Beverley Schafer saysthe common has historically been allocat-ed for public recreation and to fence in asection of the common goes against thishistoric role.

She believes the solution is to set up a fo-rum for ratepayers which protects the his-

toric role of the common.While Magielse welcomes the

idea of an oversight body, he saysthe association is already fulfill-ing that function.

“We have started an audit ofthe leaseholders and owners andallocation of space on the com-mon. I’m in favour of an over-sight body, but in a way we’re al-ready doing that.”

Walker also thinks the over-sight body is unnecessary.

“The common is protected byits zoning as Public Open Spacewhich prohibits any develop-ment. The City is responsible for

the entire space and coordi-nates the use thereof throughthe different departments re-sponsible for the different are-as. There is a limit to theamount of play permitted onthese shared fields, as is thecasewith all sports fields ownedby the City to ensure their lon-gevity. These fields are provid-ed for a formal purpose, namelycricket and rugby. The City pro-vides other venues for informalrecreational activities. Thepublic has full access to the Ur-banParkwhere theycanengagein recreational activities.”

After the implementation of a new liquor by-law in April, the City of Cape Town is set toreconsider trading hours of liquor outlets.Over 90%of respondents in the first round

of public hearings requested that tradinghours be extended and that outlets be al-lowed to operate on Sundays.Currently, the bylaw allows licensed trad-

ers to sell liquor for off-site consumption be-tween 09:00 and 18:00 fromMonday to Satur-day.Liquor may not be sold for off-site con-

sumption on a Sunday.This excludes wineries, which can trade

from their tasting rooms.

ABRABRAHAMAHAM MULLERMULLER doesn’t see liquor outletstrading on a Sunday as a problem. “People justwant to chill with a glass of wine or two – there’snothing wrong with that. Just act responsiblywhenever you drink, no matter what the day.”

NOXYNOXY BENTEBENTE is against liquor trading on Sundays.“It is a religious day and many people do not be-lieve drinking on a Sunday is right. On the otherhand, restaurants open on a Sunday and servealcohol so people are still able to drink. Why notjust extend the operating hours during the week?”she asks.

PPAATRICK BENTETRICK BENTE says liquor outlets, like any otherbusiness, need to make money. “Allowing thesestores to operate on a Sunday could possibly cre-ate more jobs. Extending the hours could allowstaff to earn a little bit more as well.”

MARISKAMARISKA DEDE JONGHJONGH is often inconvenienced bythe early closing hours of the current bylaw.“18:00 is early. What if you need to buy beer fora braai, but you only leave work at 17:00? By thetime you get to the bottle store it is packed. Thetrading hours don’t need to be extended to Sun-days, though. You can shop on a Saturday.”

REMONA JREMONA JANSEANSE insists the contentious liquor by-law should not approve liquor outlets operatingon a Sunday. “I don't even like being around peo-ple who drink, especially mothers with young chil-dren. I believe Sunday is a holy day and peopleshould not be allowed to buy alcohol on a reli-gious day.”

RRUDOLPH LOUDOLPH LOUWUW says this bylaw has been triedand failed in the US. “It just entices people to buymore beforehand, which fuels alcohol abuse. Ille-gal enterprises will also just spring up to supplyconsumers after hours.”

JOJOSEPH CSEPH COLREAYOLREAY says banning substances onlyadds to social problems. “If you decrease the trad-ing hours, it won’t get rid of the problem. Whenyou ban something, it only encourages people todo it.”

Being a proper princess is hard work.Just ask Sea Point resident Laura Bosen-berg.

When she pulls on her ballet shoes andassumes the character of Princess Auro-ra in Cape Town City Ballet’s SleepingBeauty, youwould learn that beingaprin-cess means more than just wearing acrown.

Bosenberg has been dancing since shewas four, and saysher younger selfwouldnot have believed she would land thisplum role and star in one of her belovedfairytales.

“I grew up on Disney princesses andfairytales. My favourite is the Little Mer-maid. Perhaps I’ll suggest we performthat,” she laughs.

However, being a princess is not aneasy task.

“It looks much easier than it is. Therole is technically demanding. There area lot of quiet moments where you haveto maintain control and which requirebalancing and pirouettes.”

Bosenberg (29) demonstrates the skill,flair and unreserved passion of a naturalperformer.

“I love being on stage, and I love thatballet has the constant challenge to im-prove,” she says.

This is how and why she sustains thelove for former roles she has already per-formed – to perfect a technique andstrengthen the role’s development.

Her credentials include Sleeping Beau-ty, Romeo and Juliet and Carmen.

Bosenberg believes the tale of SleepingBeauty still resonates with her audience,regardless of feminist scorn at the damselin distress plot device.

“It’s the story of a girl who has a spellforced on her and has to spend her lifehidden away. Even though she getspricked by a needle, she still gets her hap-py ending.”

Audiences’ delight in seeing HappilyEver After eventually come to distraughtbeauties cruelly done in by witches andbad fairies.

Well, it appears Happily Ever After isin Bosenberg’s future – the ballerina shy-ly admits there is PrinceCharming inherlife.

“I want to be able to look back with noregrets and live happily ever after.”

Though gifted with the talent and skillto enthral audiences on stage as a prin-cess, Bosenberg says she is an exact oppo-site of being a princess.

When not centre stage and expressingher love for dance, Bosenberg prefers torelax with her two dogs, cook or windowshop.

“I don’t really see myself as a princess.That’s why I like to play the role of theprincess so much!” she says.

A colleague interjects: “Don’t believeher!”, unable to resist a bit of good-na-tured teasing.

The allure of playing the role of Prin-cess Aurora is the sumptuous costumes.

“I love that Aurora wears a tiara thewhole way through. I love all the spar-kles!” she gushes with appropriate prin-cess-like enthusiasm.

The tiaras are all lovingly handcraftedbydancer JohnnyBovang,whoalsoplaysthe role of the evil witch.Sleeping Beauty will be presented by

CapeTownCityBallet at theArtscapeOp-era House until 18 August.

Tickets can be booked at Computicketor Artscape Dial-a-Seat on (021) 421 7695.

Accessing justice is only an app away.The Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust has

launched its Rape Information Portal on Mx-it.

It will form part of Mxit’s “MySafety” app,which currently has 164 475 subscribers.

Research conducted by Rape Crisisshowed that a lack of information and a poorunderstanding of how the criminal systemworks prevents rape survivors from access-ing justice. This portal will vastly improvethe accessibility of information about rapeto women, particularly in poorer and ruralcommunities.

The app, called RapeCrisis, is currentlyavailable in English, Afrikaans and Xhosa.

It distils 30 years of experience workingwith rape survivors into a simple yet com-prehensive information package.

It empowers women with the informationthey need to navigate the journey towardsjustice and recovery. This complex processhas many steps including disclosure, report-ing to police, a forensic examination andmedical treatment, police investigation,court proceedings and counselling.

Rape Crisis director Kathleen Dey saysthe aim is to act as a bridge between the rapesurvivor and the criminal justice system.

“Rape Crisis is committed to offering sur-vivors information that is clear, accurateand accessible. The value of the Mxit mobilesocial network is that it is an inexpensive,easily accessible tool with enormous reachas it can work on nearly any phone. Womenin poor and rural communities might nototherwise have had access to this vital infor-mation.”

Andrew Rudge, the head of Mxit Reach,says the MySafety app was created earlierthis year in response to the Anene Booysentragedy. “Including the information fromRape Crisis increases the value of this appimmeasurably as a tool to empower users.”

It’s more than just a new lick of paint forthe Schotschekloof Hall, as almostR500 000 will be pumped into an upgradeof the community facility in the comingmonths.

During August and September, the hallwill receive waterproofing of the roofs,electrical repairs and a new coat of paintinside.

The repairs are part of routine mainte-nance, says Belinda Walker, MayoralCommittee member for Community Ser-vices and Special Projects.

The upgrade is long overdue, say resi-dents.

“I don’t think an overall upgrade hasbeen done since the hall was built,” saysOsman Shaboodien, chairperson of theBo-Kaap Civic Association.

The hall was built in the early ’80s, hesays.

“The hall is used for a variety of thingsby the community. A crèche has beenthere since the ’80s, the neighbourhoodwatch has offices there and multiple func-tions, such as weddings and school plays,take place there. It is also used for Eid cele-brations.”

Anwar Valley, chairperson of the neigh-bourhood watch, says although the organi-sation’s offices are in the hall, the renova-tions benefit all.

“It’s good for the community. The hallis rundown and the roof has been leaking,”he says.

Resident Shameegh Sampson alsothinks the upgrade is a move in the rightdirection.

“It’s always good to improve. It will be

good for the community. If it looks new itwill attract more people and events. At themoment, it doesn’t even catch your eye,”he laments.

However, another resident feels themoney could be better spent on upgradingparks. “Why waste the money on the hall?It should rather be spent on the parks,”says Yusuf Sieed.

“The hall doesn’t really need upgrading.It’s alright on the inside.”

No bookings will be allowed during re-pairs, says Walker, and any bookings al-

ready made are being accommodated de-spite the repairs.

“The contractor scheduled his work pro-gramme to accommodate the confirmedbookings. No further bookings are beingtaken until repairs are completed.”

Renovations are also being carried outon the Woodstock and Maitland halls.Woodstock Town Hall will have the roofand ceiling repaired, along with electricalwork and a new coat of paint, to the valueof R570 000, and the Maitland Town Hallwill have roof repairs done worth R280 000.

Engen Knockout Challengeset to rock WynbergLIAM MOSES

The battle for under-17 football domi-nance will resume this weekend whenthe 10th annual Engen Knockout Chal-

lenge finals kick off.Regarded as a proving ground for Cape

Town’s most talented young footballers, theChallenge is hotly contested by 16 of theMother City’s best teams each year.The 10th editionwill benodifferent, featur-

ing theunder-17 sides from fourdifferent pro-fessional teams, two of South Africa’s bestacademies and some of the Cape’s most well-known amateur clubs. People’s Post is thetournament’s print media sponsor.In Group A, Pinelands-based Old Mutual

Academy,Mitchell’s Plain’sKenparkUnited,Green Point Salesians and Island Roverswillcompete for the top two places and a spot inthe next round.With excellent facilities, coaching tomatch

and a track record littered with the spoils ofjunior tournaments, Old Mutual are clear-cut favourites to qualify top of the group andface the second-placed finisher from GroupB.The rest will have to fight it out for second

place and face the tougher route to the finalwith the winners of Group B waiting in thenext round. Both Kenpark and Island Roversare capable of sneaking through.In Group B defending champions and five

time victors Ajax Cape Town are expected tobrush aside any challenge in the group andfinish with three wins and a healthy goal dif-ference.Fellow professional outfit Vasco da Gama

should fill the second spot after a breezingthrough the last qualification round with a100%recordandanaverage of three goals pergame. Cape United and Kuils River FC will

most likely continue onto the Plate sectionof the tournament.Group C is the toughest of the tournament

this year.While tournament hosts and former cham-

pions Santos will be favourites to finish first,the race for second place is less clear cut.Grassy Park’s Crusaders are the form side

out of the three, after banging in 10 goals inthree wins during qualifying. But despiteless impressive track records, Coca-Cola Cupsenior champions Hanover Park and Kraai-fonteinCity could be the group’s darkhorses.ASD Cape Town Academy, Challenge

champions in 2010, will most likely take thetop spot in Group Dwith National First Divi-sion team Chippa United finishing second.The Claremont-based club scored seven

goals and conceded none in three victories inthe qualifiers and have a history of unearth-ing and polishing the rough diamonds ofCape football since inception. Atlantic Na-cional and Bishop Lavis will scrap to avoidfinishing at the bottom of the pile.The tournament will kick off at 17:30 on

Friday, with Old Mutual facing off againstKenpark United on the B field, and run untilthe last game at 20:15. The Challenge will runfrom 09:30 to 15:30 on Saturday, and from09:30 until 15:30 (tournament final) on Sun-day.All games will be played at the William

BMT key to success at hockey tournamentLIAM MOSES

South Africa under-21 men’s hockey coachDarryn Gallagher hopes his players canshow big match temperament when theyplay in the senior men’s inter-provincialtournament (IPT) later this month.

The SA under-21’s will participate in thetournament, hosted at Hartleyvale, in prep-aration for the International Hockey Feder-ation (IHF) Men’s Junior World Cup in In-dia in December.

The final squad for the tournament willannounced after the IPT and Gallagherknows exactly what quality and skills hewants from players.

“We look for guys who are going to take(the lead in) the critical and crucial mo-ments. We are looking for guys who are go-ing to play with belief, regardless of thescoreline,” he says.

“Recently I have been involved in a fewinternational tournaments and theSAsideshave been so close to getting big results, but

have just not been able to take the crucialmoments like other teams.

“We’re obviously (also) looking for fitnessand conditioning, an understanding ofstructures and intelligent players.”

The SA under-21 squad currently num-bers at 31 players, but just 18 will competeat the IPT and the squad will be cut to be-tween 22 and 24 for the World Cup – depend-ing on how many players meet the coachingteam’s standards at the IPT.

Gallagher says he is currently leaning to-wards 22, as a smaller group allows the play-ers to be better focused. The IPT will be thelast chance for all players to stake theirclaim for a national place, whether they’re“fringe” squad members or those not partof the set-up at all.

“If anyone is going to play their way intothe team, then it’s going to be someone fromthat squad,” says Gallagher.

“For someone to come into the squad andnot have had any involvement in the build-up would be quite tough, but not out of the

question.”He adds that while winning the tourna-

ment would be a “bonus”, the only goal isgiving players equal time to prove theirworth.

SA have been grouped with England, Pa-kistan and Malaysia at the Junior WorldCup and will need to finish in the top twoof the group to qualify for thequarter-finals.With England at fourth on the FIH worldrankings, Pakistan at eighth and Malaysiajust below South Africa at 12th, competitionwill be tough.

Gallagher believes his side are capable ofmaking the top eight if they show the tem-perament and take those “crucial mo-ments”.

The IPT will take place at Hartleyvalefrom Sunday 25 to Saturday 31 August.V The South African under­21 players will have to carrythe cost of the trip to the Junior World Cup trip toIndia themselves. Anyone interested in sponsoring theteam can contact Gallagher at dgallagh­er@nwood.co.za.

Baby Boks off to a winning startLIAM MOSES

The South African Schools rugby sidehope to “improveandbuild” on their 19-14 victory over England at City Park on

Friday.The match formed part of the Internation-

al Under-18 Series which also features Italy,France and Wales.

Team coach Chris October believes hisside will only get better after a shaky per-formance in the setpieces.

“The scrums are always a dicey affair, es-pecially with the new laws. This is the firsttime the boys played and scrummed togeth-er. We can just build on this and improve,”he says.

“In the first half we did well in the line-outs, but (it seems) they picked up our calls.A lot of work still lies ahead. The foundationhas been laid for success in the rest of theseries andweare looking forward to thenextchallenge. In terms of our defence, attackand kicking there are a few things we canimprove on.”

England broke the deadlock early in thematch when skipper and eighth-man JamesChisholm picked up from the back of ascrum in the SA 22 and charged over.

Sam Olver goaled the resulting conver-sion, but SA right wing Grant Hermanusnarrowed the deficit with a penalty soon af-ter.

SA captain and number eight Rikus Both-

ma refused to be outdone by his Englandcounterpart and powered his way across thewhitewash to take the lead. However, Her-manus missed the conversion and SA lead8-7 at half-time.

Duhan van der Merwe extended South Af-rica’s lead in the second half, popping up inthe centres to gather a pass one-handed,scythe through gap and dot down.

Hermanus missed the conversion againand it seemed it would prove costly afterChisholm and Olver retook the lead for Eng-land with another try and conversion re-spectively.

Flyhalf Brandon Thomas took over kick-ing duties, after Hermanus departed in-jured, and went on to nail two penalties to

hand SA the victory.October praised his side for their defen-

sive performance, after soaking up the ad-vice of defence guru Jacques Nienaber intraining sessions last week.

“Right from the beginning we knew therewould be three aspects that was going to bevery important if we were to win the game;our defence, attack and kicking,” Octobersays.

“Defence must be the foundation on whichwe lay any success. Today the guys went outthere and showed a lot of character.”

SA take on France at Outeniqua Park inGeorge at 18:00 today (Tuesday 13 August)and then face Wales at Boland Stadium inWellington on Saturday 17 August at 15:30.
