WYNBERG: APPEAL TO RELOCATE

School’s bid for BonnytoonMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Cement playgrounds, rustedrailings and prefabricatedwalls is the dreary reality for

pupils at Wynberg High School.After 38 years the school’s man-

agement is in a bid to have theschool relocated to the old Bonny-toon Juvenile Correctional facili-ty.Principal Faiq Salie says the

building, designed to be used for 25years, has reached its expiry date.While in a good condition, he

says, it is slowly becoming a safetyrisk for pupils.“We try to keep it in a good condi-

tion, but the cracks are showing.The railings on the balconies arestarting to rust and it causes aproblemwhen pupils are changingclasses,” he says.At any one point there are about

700 pupils passing each other onthe overcrowded stairways andbalconies. The walls in the class-rooms and toilets are in a state ofdisrepair.The provincial education depart-

ment is now investigating the pos-sibility of relocating the school toBonnytoon. In his proposal, Saliewrites the facility was designed toprovide educational facilities forjuveniles, so it already has the in-frastructure for a school.Departmental spokesperson,

Bronagh Casey says the facility isowned by theDepartment of Trans-port and Public Works and is cur-rently being used by the Depart-ment of Social Development.She says the education depart-

ment has made no commitments,but admits the current building isnot “appropriate for replacement”.“The educationdepartment is in-

vestigating the possibility of Bon-nytoon as an alternative site. Thecurrent site is not appropriate forreplacement. No formal commit-ments have been made with theschool,” Casey explains.She adds the department is not

investigating any other buildingsin the area for the relocation of theschool.Meanwhile, Salie says the intro-

duction and continuation of addi-tional sport at the school is also anissue. The school does not have afield and pupils whowish to partic-ipate in rugby, soccer or crickethave to be transported to sportsfields for training sessions.

He says the transportation of pu-pils affects the school financially.“The school fees is only R1 800 peryear and we cannot ask pupils topay for transport. We pay the bill,but this is becoming a very expen-sive exercise,” he says.Cross country was removed as

an extra-curricular activity as pu-pilswere forced to use stairways astraining grounds.

“The pupils would run up oneflight of stairs and down the other.We cancelled cross country as thetraining posed a safety risk to ourpupils,” Salie says.Expressing his discontent, Salie

says the school’s plan for holisticdevelopment of pupils is being sti-fled.“The surroundings play a big

part in motivating them and we

just cannot do so in this space. It’sawaiting game for us andwe reallyhope our proposal will be success-ful,” he says.The location of theBonnytoon fa-

cility would make it ideal for pu-pils, Salie says, as they will not bemoved to another area.V Share your thoughts! Starting with theword “Post” SMS your comments to 32516.SMSes cost R1.

PENSIONERS: BEARING THE BRUNT OF THEIR CHILDREN’S ACTIONS

Twighlight years marked by abuseTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

Grandparents put you on their lap andtell you stories. Some fix you a sand-wich when you return from school,

others give hugs or advice on life-alteringdecisions.But for some elderly, the only stories they

have to share ishaving their telephone linescut, being given only a slice of bread and acupof black coffee for the dayandnot seeinga single cent of their pension.This is the reality formany seniors living

across Cape Town.Noreen (70) says she never thought she’d

have to suffer the way she does at her age.She shares her two-bedroom home with

two of her three sons. Her second eldest wasfatally shot years ago.Every month, as soon as she receives her

pension, she is forced to hand it over to her

drug addicted son and trusts he will notwaste it to support his habit.She is in a difficult position as her re-

stricted mobility means she is dependantupon her sons for their help.Thoughts of getting an interdict against

her sons are put paid as she would need tofind alternative accommodation or some-one else who could stay with her.She initially made the arrangement to

give her pension to her sons for them to payaccounts and do the shopping to help her asshe struggles to walk far distances.“I depend on their help and that makes it

difficult to not give them the money. Theyhave promised many times to get help, butit never lasts long,” she says.She often finds herself having to sit in the

dark with no electricity and survives onwhatever her sons leave for her to eat.“Life wasn’t always this way. After my

husband diedmy sons got involvedwith thewrong crowd. I was never able toget them back on the right path,”she says.What started as just borrowing

somemoney soon became a regu-lar habit andwhen she refused tohand over cash, items would dis-appear from the house.“First the kettle went, then the

toaster, the telephone and so itcontinued. Every time it wouldbe something bigger until I hadhad enough and told them to getout,” she says.Her children promised to kickthe habit and find help, whichnudgedher to give thema secondchance.“I can’t move away because I

have nowhere else to go. Yougive your children everythingyou can, but you never expect toreceive this in return,” she says.

Western Cape Older Persons Forum rep-resentative Mary Turok says many seniorsare vulnerable because they are living withfamily. “They don’t report abuse or exploi-tation because they are scared of being putout on the street,” she says.In such cases the elderly person is urged

to tell someone outside of the family whocan then report the matter to the authori-ties. “If they don’t feel comfortable going tothe police or a familymember they can con-tact Action on Elder Abuse or go to their lo-cal social services office,” Turok adds.Pensioner James (66) says he and his wife

have had to resort to hiding food in theirbedroom cupboard to ensure they haveenough to eat. Their son has been addictedto drugs for years and uses their last pennyto sustain his habit. “We mostly make surethere is bread and tinned food to eat becausewe never knowwhen there will be electrici-ty to cook a meal. One moment there willbe enough electricity; the next month weare in the dark,” he says.“My wife used to talk to her family on the

phone, but now we don’t even have a phoneanymore. My wife is an excellent cook, butdo you think there are any pots left to cookin or plates to eat out of?” he fumes.James says he hates to think about the

day he will no longer be around to take careof his wife.“I can’t imagine leaving her to fight on

her own. It is sad when you know you havea good child and that’swhywe stick around.Youkeep thinkingmaybeyourmessagewillgo through to him tomorrow, but tomorrownever comes,” he says.There are many old people suffering un-

der children addicted to drugs and alcohol.Mayoral Committee member for Social

Development Suzette Little says elderlypeople suffering due to substance addictedchildren is a common problem across themetro.“This problem is not linked to a specific

area but it is more common in your poorerareas, where there is a high level of sub-stance abuse,” she says.Gathering statistics to evaluate the scope

of theproblemisdifficult, saysLittle, as sen-iors are reluctant to report any abuseagainst them.“Elderly people are very proud so usually

it is a family member or a friend informingus.We find thatwellness drives is one of thefew (avenues) we (have where) the elderlyopen up to us. This is why it is so importantto have such events,” Little says.“Wellness drives don’t only create the op-

portunity for us to inform the seniors aboutthe importance of healthy living, but cre-ates the platform for us to inform themabout their rights and options.”The safest way to prevent seniors having

to give off their pension is to load their pen-sionontoa card,which theycanswipewhenpurchasing goods.This, however, is not the preferred

choice, says Little. “Not many seniors wantto work with a card. They prefer to havecash because they don’t always understandhow to use the card,” she adds.Family and friends are being urged to

look after their parents, grandparents andelderly neighbours. “We need to value theseniors in our communities and treat themwith love and respect. If anyone knows ofany old person being neglected they areurged to contact theCity’s call centre so thata social worker can be sent to the house.”Police spokesperson Constable Zita Nor-

man says they have receivedmany requestsfrom elderly people seeking assistance withtheir children or grandchildren.Seniors always try to find help for the

children at a rehabilitation centre insteadof asking for an interdict, she says.“We assist many seniors asking for help

for their adult children, which is sad. Wehelp them find placement for the addictedperson at a rehabilitation centre and advisethem about exploitation and domesticabuse,” she says.Pensioners seeking police assistance

with interdicts are advised to go to the thirdfloor at Wynberg Magistrate’s Court.“Interdicts are free,”Norman says. “Once

they have completed the necessary docu-ments the interdict will be brought to theirlocal police station, where the relevant of-ficers will then serve the person the pa-pers.”V Contact Action on Elder Abuse on (021) 424 0574or 080 000 3081.

CRIME: MOTORISTS WARNED

Putting brakeson car theftMONIQUE DUVAL

monique_duval

Car thieves have started to target park-ing lots in Wynberg and police are cau-tioning motorists.

Since January, several vehicles havebeen stolen at the parking area bound byPiers, Cogill, Eggelstone and Main roads.Police say Isuzus, Nissans and Toyotas aremainly stolen.

Wynberg police station commander Brig-adier Riaan Booysen says despite the pres-ence of security guards, cunning thievesmanage to steal cars undetected.

“In many of the cases, motorists claimthey parked and locked their vehicles andwent into the shopping centre. When theyreturned their cars are gone,” he says.

Booysen says the thefts take place be-tween noon and 17:00. He adds the victimsreported not seeing anything suspiciouswhen parking their vehicles.

“We suspect the culprits arewaitinguntilmotorists are inside the shopping centre be-fore coming out. We ask motorists to keepa watchful eye when entering the shoppingcentre and returning to their vehicles, justto be sure,” he says.

Booysen says this will most likely scarethe thieves off or give motorists the chanceto see what the thieves may look like.

He urges anyone who notices any suspi-cious behaviour to immediately call the po-lice.

“There have been no arrests and we donot have any suspects. We are appealing toresidents to keep an eye out for suspicious-looking people in parking lots and to reportit immediately,” he says.

Police have also reported car thefts inLangley Road and the surrounding sidestreets. Parking areas near the library andthe Department of Home Affairs have also

affected by thefts.Booysen says since the beginning of the

year, the Wynberg precinct has also beenhit hard by theft out of motor vehicles. Lastyear police made several appeals to motor-ists to not leave valuables in plain view.

Main Road is the most affected with sev-eral cases being reported each week. “Weplea to motorists to be vigilant and not cre-ate the opportunity for criminals,” he says.

Commenting on crime in the precinctover the festive season, Booysen says he isgrateful for the help of the Wynberg Com-munity Police Forum (CPF) and residentsin keeping the area safe.

For this year, police have vowed to clampdown on drug-related activities. For the pe-riod betweenApril andDecember last year,police made 396 drug possession arrests.Suspects were arrested for the possessionof various drugs including mandrax, tik,heroin and dagga.

“Drugs are a big concern in the Wynbergprecinct. This year, dealers operating inthe CBD and other hotspots can expectmore sting operations, more arrests andmore convictions,” he says.

Booysen explains the bold plan to con-front men who pick up prostitutes in the ar-ea is paying off.

Last year police started to keep watch onthe registration numbers of vehicles whichstopped and picked up prostitutes. Thenumbers were then traced and police offic-ers visited themen and ask them to not con-tribute to the sex industry.

“It has been very embarrassing for manymen in the southern suburbs. It has alsobeen very effective in bringing down thecrime associated with prostitution, espe-cially in Main Road,” Booysen says.V If you have noticed suspicious activity in Wynberg,call the Wynberg Police Station on (021) 799 1300or email BooysenRiaan@saps.gov.za.

Bylaw isuncorkedLiquor traders may now submit their ap-

plications for extended trading hours.The City of Cape Town has approved

the bylaw extending operating hours to 20:00as well as allowing trade on Sundays.

The new bylaw will be implemented as ofSaturday 1 February.People’s Post readers share their views.

ELENOR RICHARDS says the new bylaw spells dis-aster. “We have so many problems (fuelled by liq-uor) in this country already. Selling alcohol for ex-tended hours will only increase crime and we cando without that.”

KASHIEFA WILLIAMS is concerned about roadsafety. “Some people have a couple of drinks afterwork and get behind a steering wheel drunk. Thisis how deaths on the roads are caused and thelonger trading hours will only bring more of that,”she insists.

BUYISWA BLOM is against the new bylaw. “Peo-ple do horrible things when they are drunk. In myarea someone gets raped or killed every weekendwhile under the influence. Having access to liquorfor extended times will just increase thesecrimes,” she says.

TUSO MAKETA fears later trading hours for liquoroutlets will result in an increase in bar brawls.“This is a bad idea. There are already too manyfights taking place at shebeens. Later tradinghours mean more drunk people and more fights.”

YOLANDI VAN DER WESTHUIZEN says extendingtrading hours will be convenient for customers.“Many people aren’t able to make it in time toget the store open. It will also be convenient tobe able to purchase a bottle of wine on a Sunday.”

IVAN ALBERTYN is against the idea of liquor beingsold on a holy day. Drinkers have six other daysto indulge, he argues. “People drink enough ona Saturday and shouldn’t drink on a Sunday. Ifthe liquor stores are open people will buy evenif they don’t need to drink.”

GUY CRONJE says people who want alcohol willfind a way to get it. “If liquor stores operate laterit will have a positive impact on the economy. Thechoice to drink responsibly is a choice the personmakes. There will always be a bar or restaurantserving alcohol even if liquor stores are closed.”

HOUT BAY: KEEPING AREA SAFE

A boost tofight crimeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Aboldnewplan for fighting crime in Im-izamo Yethu and Hangberg is gainingmomentum.

In the last twoweeks, the Community Po-lice Forum (CPF) has established two sub-forums in the two communities.The sub-forums fall under the Hout Bay

CPF and consist of residents elected bytheir communities.According to the South African Police

Services Act, CPFs may establish sub-fo-rumswhich represent a specific geographi-cal area.These forums, along with the CPF, meet

with senior police officers regularly to dis-cuss concerns, crime statistics and helpbuild cooperation between police and thecommunity.CPF chairperson JimMcKenna says resi-

dents were informed of the meetings andthey steered clear of politics during theelection of the forums.“Following all the issues involving politi-

cians inbothHangbergand ImizamoYethu,it was very important that people elected tothe sub-forumwere there to fight crime andkeep their communities safe,” he says.He further explains the sub-forums play

an important role in communicating polic-ing concerns which need attention.HoutBaypolice station commanderLieu-

tenant-Colonel BonganiMtakati says in Im-izamo Yethu police found divides existedbetween foreign nationals and South Afri-cans.Ameeting to elect the sub-forum in Imiza-

mo Yethu was attended by more than 580people. A total of six people were elected tothe serve as office bearers on the forum.“We found that the foreigners were often

kept out of the loop or their concerns werenot addressed. In the sub-forumthreeSouthAfricans and three foreign nationals wereelected,” Mtakati says.McKenna explains the forums will be

guided by their police sector commandersand training for neighbourhood watcheswill be provided by the police.He believes the forums will need the sup-

port of their communities tomake a signifi-cant change.McKenna says the police station had

made major strides in fighting crim, butcommunities needed to play their part. “Wewant to be able to work closer with thesecommunities to achieve results,” McKennaadds.Mtakati says Imizamo Yethu contributed

to 54% of the crime in the Hout Bay policeprecinct and contact crimes were at an all-time high. This includes murders, assaultsand robberies.Mtakati explains these crimes are closely

linked with alcohol consumption in the ar-ea.Since August last year, police have re-

duced the number of illegal shebeens fromover 100 to just eight.Mtakati says drug usage in the area is al-

so a concern and is related to other crimesin the greater Hout Bay area.“Once you’re a user, you will find ways

to get your drugs,” he says.“We (have) seen anotable increase in (the

number of reported) house break-in cases.”

BRAILLE: OPENING NEW AVENUES

Life made easier for the blindTAURIQ HASSEN

@TauriqHassen

One morning, she woke up and was una-ble to see. The devastation ofwakingupblindwas an experience Jennifer Fleis-

chmann had to overcome quickly.A visit to the doctor found she had glauco-

ma. Her optic nerves were damaged.The Sea Point resident had to learn braille

to move forward with her life.She has now been blind for nearly a year

and relies solely on braille to complete manyof her daily duties as a receptionist at theLeague of the Friends of the Blind (Lofob).“In the beginning I was very lost as I could

not read orwrite. I worked in the hotel indus-try, where I was required to perform thesebasic duties daily,” Fleischmann says.“I had to quickly adapt to this way of life.”She felt that feeling her way around in the

darkneeded to be polished off by learning thetechnique of braille and started a course atLofob.Taking messages, answering the phone

and reading a book are some of the activitieswhich require the ability to understandbraille.“It’s everything to me; without braille I

think I would be lost,” she says.Her story ties in with a month dedicated

to braille, as World Braille Day was celebrat-ed on Saturday 4 January.Lofob executive director Armand Bam

saysbraille formsan integral part of the inde-pendence development services.“Braille is one of the main reasons blind

people are literate and able to enjoy theirrights enshrined in theSouthAfricanConsti-tution,” Bam says.World Braille Day celebrates the life of the

late Louis Braille and pays tribute to him forthe “ingenious script” he invented that stilltransforms lives today.“The magic of the six dots known as the

system of Braille is the key to independencefor blind and visually impaired persons. It isthe means to education, employment andpleasure,” Bam says.The past few years have seen a decrease in

the number of blind persons who are brailleliterate, raising the question around the im-portance and relevance of braille in a worldovertaken by modern technology.This has prompted Lofob to embark on a

braille awareness programme at variousschools.“Nothing beats the actual experience of

holding and feeling a book, turning its pages,reading its text, and even smelling its paper.It can never be replaced by any kind of tech-nology,” Bam says.Adrian Lupe (42) from Parkwood Estate

forms part of the decreasing number of visu-ally impaired people who struggle to under-stand braille.He lost his sight at the age of 22whilework-

ing in a welding factory and has since beensolely reliant on the voices of others.“You start mastering your ability of feel-

ing, but at the same time you struggle in cer-tain aspects, especially when nobody isaround to assist you,” he says.Lupe says reading a book or operating a

computer and telephone are some of the ac-tivities which have been missing from hisdaily life for nearly 20 years.“I just had to get used to living in the dark.

It was not easy, but I certainly did not haveanother choice,” he says.V The Lofob Braille Awareness Programme will takeplace from Monday 27 until Friday 31 January.

CRIME: CAUTIONED TO BE ON THE ALERT

Thieves on the prowlMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Constantia Valley residents are warnedto be extra vigilant.This comes after twomen fromHano-

ver Park were arrested for several housebreak-ins across the Wynberg, Diep River,Claremont and Kirstenhof police precincts.The police say a new syndicate has been

targeting houses in the valley, stealing plas-ma screen TVs and computer equipment.Warrant Officer Andre Fransman, infor-

mation manager at Wynberg Police Station,says the first man was arrested while tryingto break into a house in Claremont.“When we checked his fingerprints we

found he was linked to five house break-incases in the Wynberg precinct,” he says.Fransman says the man was remanded in

custody and sent to Pollsmoor prison aftera brief appearance in the Wynberg Magis-trate’s Court last week.In a separate case, another Hanover Park

manwas arrested inWynberg. Hewas foundto be responsible for an additional threebreak-ins in the Wynberg precinct.“Fingerprints again linked this suspect to

several break-ins across Wynberg,” Frans-man says.On further investigation into the twomen,

police found they were both linked to 14house break-ins. Police say plasma TVs andcomputer equipmentwere stolen in all thesecases.“The modus operandi for this syndicate is

simple. They are dropped off in the area atnight and walk around scouting the houses.They identify homes and come back tosteal,” he says.Police are urging residents to be aware of

any suspicious-looking men walking

through the streets at night, and to reportit immediately.“You are looking for anyone who seems to

be walking around aimlessly at night,”Fransman says.Diep River police spokesperson Warrant

OfficerKeithChandler saysTVs and compu-ter equipment are not the only items target-ed, as thieves have also taken an interest inbicycles.

He sayswhile themarket forTVs and com-puters is “quite big” bicycles are fast becom-ing a “commodity for criminals”.“We ask residents who notice any suspi-

cious behaviour to call their police stationimmediately,” Chandler says.V To report crime call the Wynberg Police Station on(021) 799 1300, Diep River Police Station on(021) 710 7300 or Kirstenhof Police Station on(021) 701 2426.

Award-winning play onBaxter Theatre’s planksIt will be a first time forCapeTown audiences to see themultiple-award-winning

Death of a Colonialist fromthis month.Itwill be on theplanksof the

Baxter Theatre’s Golden Ar-row Studio from Friday 31January to Saturday 1March.Written by Greg Latter and

directed by Craig Freimond,the play has a stellar cast fea-turing Jamie Bartlett, Nicho-las Pauling, Shirley Johnstonand Ashleigh Harvey. Theproduction received NalediAwards in 2011 for Best Pro-duction, Best Director andBest Actor: Jamie Bartlett.Death of a Colonialist tells

the story of Harold Smith, anaging, eccentric, unpredicta-ble, but extremely passionatehistory teacher at a high school in Graham-stown. His passion is South African history,more specifically the history of the amaXho-sa.Harold is at the end of his powers and his

increasingly erratic teaching techniquesare making the school’s hierarchy look fornew blood in the history department.WhatHarold isnot awareof is thathiswife

has terminal cancer and has decided not totell him. His two children, who have movedoverseas, decide to come home for an uncon-ventional family reunion.Dealingwith questions of identity, history

and terminal illness, this is a funny, sad, pro-found and passionate play that weaves be-tween the tragedy of our past and the chal-lenges of ourpresent.Ultimately, theplay re-inforces what it means to be South African.

Kind draw forlocal clubsLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Santos will face an unknown quanti-ty when they tackle GamalakheUnited in the Nedbank Cup round

of 32.The People’s Team will face the Kwa-

Zulu-Natal side at home after beingpaired in the draw last week.Santos coach David Notoane says he

is happywith the draw, butwill be doinghis homework on the minnows to pre-vent any upsets.“We are playing at home and that is

very important, but we are playingagainst a SecondDivision teamwhich istricky,” he says.“Wedon’t knowmuch about them, but

I have started doing my homework. It’sthe first time I have heard about them.I have spoken to some of the people Iknow inKwaZulu-Natal, so I havea littlebit of incite into the team we are facing.“We are happy with the draw, but we

are not going to take it lightly.”Santos are currently fifth on the Na-

tional First Division (NFD) table, eightpoints behind the league leaders, buthave a game in hand.Notoane’s side suffered a 1-0 loss to lo-

cal rivals Vasco da Gama in their lastouting and will need to take maximumpoints from Saturday’s match away toSivutsa Stars to keep their hopes of pro-motion alive.

Meanwhile, neighbours Milano Unit-ed have also welcomed a fortunate Ned-bank Cup draw result after some indif-ferent form in the NFD.The Grassy Park side will host Bloem-

fontein Young Tigers in the round of 32.Milano coach Theo Hempe says he

would have preferred to play a biggerteam, which would’ve drawn in a largecrowd of supporters.“Wearenot complaining; it’s a favour-

able draw so we want to give it every-thing and go as far as possible in theNedbank Cup,” he says.Hempe says he last faced Tigers as a

player. “It’s not the first time I’ve heardof the club. I played against themawhileback, when they were still in the NFDa few years ago. We will give them therespect they deserve,” he says.Milano held the top spot in the league

just two weeks ago, but surrenderedfirst place after a draw with FC CapeTown. They have since dropped to thirdfollowing a loss to Jomo Cosmos at theweekend.Hempe’s side trail first-placed Chippa

United and second-placed Vasco daGama by a solitary point.The formermidfielder has brushed off

the poor results as a temporary dip inform and expects his charges to turn itaroundagainstRosesUnited at theWyn-berg Military Base on Sunday.The dates for theNedbankCupmatch-

es have not yet been announced.

Big walkers to honour SA iconLIAM MOSES@LiamCPT

Around 20 000 people are set to fill thestreets of Cape Town in honour of the lateformer president Nelson Mandela at the15th annual 10km Big Walk in March.

The event has become a highlight of theCape Town social sports calendar, so or-ganisers have decided to honour Madibathis year. People’s Post is the print mediasponsor of the Big Walk.

As usual the Red Cross War MemorialChildren’s Hospital Trust has been select-ed as the main beneficiary of the event, but

a percentage of the proceeds will also begiven the Nelson Mandela Foundation.The walk will be held on Sunday 2 March.

Big Walk Committee chairperson Da-wood Essack highlighted the walk’s 15thanniversary. “As a special commemora-tion of the 15th anniversary we will be hav-ing a 15km run or walk as well. Every kilo-metre will be dedicated to the social chal-lenges faced by some communities,” hesays.

“These challenges include education,

healthcare, physical fitness, drugs, theabuse of women and children, HIV/Aidsand the physically disabled.”

At the event launch last week CEO of theMandela Rhodes Trust and representativeof the Nelson Mandela Foundation, ShaunJohnson, thanked the Big Walk Committee“for honouring our late patron and found-er”.

Since its inauguration in 2000, the racehas donated over R1.6m to the Red CrossHospital. In 2012 the money was used to up-

grade the hospital’s burns unit and sur-gery wards, while last year’s R245 000 wasused to upgrade the radiology department.

Trust CEO Louise Driver says this year’sdonation will be used to upgrade the paedi-atric intensive care ward. “I want to thankthe Big Walk Committee for selecting theRed Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospi-tal Trust as the beneficiary again,” shesays.

“It’s amazing that they have been sup-porting us for 14 consecutive years. Themoney has been given to a number ofprojects; there isn’t a part of the hospitalthat the Big Walk has not touched.”

Tough task for WP womenLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A single match could define an entireseason for the Western Province wom-en’s cricket team.

Province take on neighbours Boland inWellington on Sunday and a loss will slashthe team’s chances of semi-final qualifica-tion.

WP currently top the West/East group inCricket South Africa’s provincial league,with six wins from seven games.

Boland are second, but have a game inhand and are the only side to have beatenWP this season.

Province coach Cobus Roodt is confidenthis charges can pull off a victory, despitehaving three key players away on nationalduty. “The Boland game is an important onefor the season. If we win, we will reach thesemi-finals,” he says.

“I am confident we can win. I believe thegirls can pull through. There is a lot of workthat has gone in to get the girls ready. Theyunderstand what lies ahead, so there is noreason why we can’t win.”

Roodt’s side racked up comfortable victo-ries in their last two matches, posting 371/5before skittling out Border Kei for just 24runs on Saturday and then beating Borderby 36 runs on Sunday.

Province have just three games left in the

pool stages; Boland on Sunday, before facingEastern Province on Saturday 1 Februaryand South Western Districts on Sunday 2February.

Finishing at the summit of the West/East

group will ensure they go through alongwith the winners of the Highveld and Cen-tral groups.

The best second-placed side out of all threegroups will be the fourth semi-finalist.

A full haul of points in the last three gamescould also seal a home semi-final for Prov-ince. Roodt believes the location of the play-off will not affect his side’s performance.

“Playing at home gives you a small advan-tage, but we are used to playing away,” hesays.

“I find the team gels better when we areaway from home, because they all live in ahotel together. When they are at home, youdon’t know what they are doing. I believe acricket ground is just a cricket ground.”

Last season Roodt’s side beat Gauteng atthe Wanderers to secure the title, afterknocking out Northerns at Newlands theprevious week.

KwaZulu-Natal currently top the Centralpool, while Northerns and Gauteng are firstand second, respectively, in the Highveldgroup.

Roodt says they would happily face anyside in the competition should WP reach thesemis.

“You expect to face the strong teams so itdoesn’t matter who we play,” he says.

“We just have to ensure that we play ourvery best cricket. If we do, it doesn’t matter.I believe to be the best, you have to beat thebest – that’s one of the slogans we live by inthe team.”

The final pool matches against EP andSWD will both take place at Mutual Park inPinelands next month.
