SILVERMINE ROBBERY: ‘UNUSUAL INCIDENT’

Armed assailants strikeTERESA FISCHER

A REPORT of an armed mugging at Sil-vermine East gate which took place inMarch has only emerged now on an on-

line forum for climbers.The victim describes it as a “relatively un-

usual” incident, but adds caution would notgo amiss.

The man, who could not be reached at thetime of going to press, writes he had beenencouraged to write an account of what hap-pened to keep people informed. The emailgroup Table Mountain Watch circulated hisemail.

He says on Thursday 21 March he hadbeen bouldering at Topside with a friend. Asthey were driving out of the Silvermine Eastparking area, they noticed that the parkingofficial was gone and the boom was closed.

He says initially they thought they hadbeen locked inside and so tried to make a callfrom a cellphone.

While he was doing this a man came upand asked them if the gate was locked.

After a short exchange the man told themhe was “high” and went back to his car.

He noticed there were two other men inthe back and a woman in the front of theircar.

He says: “A little while later they drove upto us, and two men jumped out the back, withone of them pointing a gun (at us). They toldus to kneel down behind the low wall andsearched us, and then our car, before speed-ing off.”

He adds they were not isolated as carswere driving past on Ou Kaapse Weg and twogroups of hikers walked up to the boom sec-onds after the robbers had left.

They managed to get the numberplate andmake of car, and went straight to the Mui-zenberg Police Station, where it was foundto be a hijacked vehicle.

He says there was some confusion beforethey could report the incident as they weretold Silvermine East fell under Kirstenhof’sjurisdiction and “we had to go to that policestation”.

He adds: “This may be helpful to know inthe future.”

Fish Hoek Police Station spokespersonWarrant Officer Peter Middleton confirmedSilvermine gates fall under the jurisdictionof the Kirstenhof Police Station.

The climber continues: “However, be-cause firearms were used in the robbery, weshould ideally not have moved the car fromthe scene for the sake of getting finger-prints.”

He adds two suspects were later appre-hended, but says he could not positivelyidentify either in an identity parade.

“When a gun was pointed at me my imme-diate reaction was to look down so that I wasnot confrontational. Although I feel that thisis the priority it would have been good if,surreptitiously, I could have memorisedsome unique and unchangeable feature ofthe men.”

His opinion of the incident is that it wasa relatively unusual incident as the suspectswere on a “brazen crime spree”.

He explains theirs was the third of fourgroups who were robbed by the men in thesame car that same day.

At the time of going to press, KirstenhofPolice station spokesperson could not bereached for comment about the incident.V Phone Kirstenhof Police Station (021) 701 2426.

LEGGY VISITORS: This flock of about 60 flamingos settled in the old Kom tidal pool on “birdisland” in Kommetjie recently. They have been identified as Greater Flamingos by Dr RobLittle, manager of the Centre of Excellence at the FitzPatrick Institute at UCT. GreaterFlamingos are identified by a beak which is half pink and half black. He adds: “They areclassified as nearthreatened nationally, according to the red data list, with a possibility ofbecoming vulnerable in the near future.” To ensure their survival, Little says disturbance,particularly by dogs, should be kept to a minimum.

ELDERLY: A NEED FOR BETTER GRANTS

Twilight time turns to worry yearsTAMMY PETERSEN

THEY should be leading a comfortablelife, sipping tea while surrounded byfamily and grandchildren.

Instead, thousands of elderly people facedire financial straits, loneliness and circum-stances so bleak, they are simply waiting todie to be free of their worries.WithWorldElderAbuseDayaweekaway,

no end seems in sight to decrease the worrylines forming on the faces of the aged.Moreneeds to be done to develop activities

and opportunities for the elderly so that theyaren’t “simply treated likedeadwood”, eldercare activists say.But while lobbyists try to shed light on

this reality, older people continue to strug-gle on, not very hopeful of a change in theirsituations.With amonthly income of just over R1 200,

Moira is amazed that shemanages to eat eve-ry night. She has only one cup of bitter blacktea a day because sugar and milk is too ex-pensive. To save on electricity, she bathes incold water.“I gave up luxuries many moons ago,” the

68-year-old says. “Now I just live from dayto day, hoping there’s going to be enoughmoney forme to buy something to eat tomor-row.”Moira worked as a child minder for a Sea

Point couple for 40 years. She gave up herjob when her husband was diagnosed withcancer 10 years ago.At that point, she was the breadwinner in

her home. Her partner of 50 years was re-trenched when he turned 52. He had beenworking as a casual labourer for over 30years at a printing factory.“He didn’t have a pension plan and all his

boss gave him on his last day of work wasan extraR2 000 and apat on the back.Henev-er had a job again – nobody wanted to hirea man so close to retiring age.”Hedied in 2005.Moirahas beenonher own

since.She pays R600 a month to live in the tiny

wendy house in the backyard of a churchmember.An old black and white TV is her only

source of diversion. She hardly has any fur-niture as there is only space for her bed, adilapidated cupboard and a broken fridge inwhich she stores her perishables.After she has paid for the roof over her

head, she starts working miracles with theremaining money.“I pay R200 for electricity to my landlord.

Once I skipped a payment because I had topay formy burial fund and they leftmewith-out light for a month. I don’t like the dark,”she shudders.The remaining R400 is used for vegetables

andother staples.Her supper consists of riceand vegetables because she can’t affordmeat. The change goes towards odds andends like rat poison and insect killers to getrid of the critterswhohave infestedhermod-est home.“I don’t know when last I bought myself

a treat like cake or my favourite sugar-coat-ed sweets,” Moira says sadly. “But that’sokay – the Lord still provides me with foodevery night.”Government should be ashamed of the pit-

tance granted to pensioners, says DerekKloppers, spokesperson of the ConcernedPensioners Organisation.The group, supported by hundreds of aged

residents from across the city, recently tookto the streets and handed over a memoran-dum to parliament demanding a review andincrease of the grant. They are still awaitingfeedback.“It is a disgrace that, at our age, we should

be worried about where our supper is goingto come from,” an incensed Kloppers says.

“The people who built this country andwho were the backbone of the economy arenow being treated as a liability. After beingindependent and self-sufficient all our lives,we are now forced to beg and borrow to sus-tain ourselves. It is despicable that we arebeing deprived.”Desperate pensioners have resorted to eat-

ing pet food or dry bread to survive, he con-tinues.“It is a shameful secret, but a reality that

needs to be exposed. People are dying not ofold age but of hardship.Giveus back our dig-nity. We are the people who have laid thefoundation of this country.”A lack of finance has also led to people no

longer able to afford private healthcare asmore pensioners head to State facilities tosave money.Beatrice (73) suffers from high blood pres-

sure and arthritis, but says she hasn’t beento her local day hospital in months as shecan no longer manage to stand in endlessqueues while waiting for assistance.“My knees can’t handle the strain,” she

says, rubbing her legs through her thread-bare trousers.“We elderly people don’t get any special

treatment – we also have to wait more than12 hours for help. People push and shove usout of the way so that they can get donequicker while we sit on the hard benches orlean against walls for support, patientlywaiting our turn. I can’t take it any more,”she says.Elizabeth Bantom, a public health activist

who has been lobbying for improved servic-es for over 30 years, says it is essential thatall people speak up about the long wait.“It is understandable that emergency cas-

es be handled as a priority, but people suchas the elderly should also be givenpreferenc-es as they cannot be expected to wait solong,” she says.

But apathy and an unwillingness to speakup is the reason service delivery is at sucha low level.“If you are unhappy, make your voice

heard. If you feel youneedassistanceurgent-ly, say so. If you don’t inform those in chargethat the situation is serious, how do you ex-pect to be helped?”Butmoney andhealthcare are not the only

factors adding to their gray hairs.Agatha (69) lives on her own in a retire-

ment village. Despite suffering from demen-tia and arthritis, she cooks, cleans and doesher own washing.Although they live less than 10km away,

her two children visit only twice a month.“I love seeing them,” she says. “I just wishthey would come around more often.”The only time Agatha ventures further

than her front gate is to go to church or tocollect her high blood pressure medicationat the local day hospital.Most of her time is spent listening to the

radio.“My husband died six years ago so it’s just

me now,” she says sadly. “It’s not nice beingon your own.”She lives for every second Tuesday for her

church’s pensioners’ group get-together fortea and biscuits.“Jinne, chatting to them makes me feel so

alive!” she laughs. “We joke and skinnerwhile swopping recipes and huisraadjies. Inever want those days to end.”She admits to sometimes feeling intense

loneliness, but she gets over it with her“friends on the wireless”.“I don’t want to be a burden to my chil-

dren. They have their own lives now, theirown families to raise. But I love seeing them.They make me so happy and proud and mygrandchildren are so beautiful! It’s like Idon’t even want them to leave.”Berniece Lourens, a community worker

whoworkswith the elderly across the penin-sula, says it is “a travestywhen the offspringof the backbone of society turn their backson the people who gave them life”.“There is nothing more heart-wrenching

than seeing an old person shed tears of lone-liness. Their own children don’t have timefor them. They are supposed to be in theprime of the lives, but instead they are ne-glected and sidelined to fend for themselves.It is a shameful reality no one speaks about,”she says.Some even consider pension day as an out-

ing, Lourens explains.“You will find them dressed up in the

queues, desperately trying to make conver-sation with the other old people waiting fortheir turn.Communication is ahumanneed.These people have stories to tell and memo-ries to share. All theywant is someone to lis-ten.”A organisation is hoping to put the pen-

sioners’ plight on the table and fight for solu-tions.The Metro South Older Persons’ Forum

will be launched on Tuesday 11 June at theAthlone Community Hall at 10:00.

21 Second Avenue Fish Hoek

Help to teamup againstcrime – CPFTERESA FISCHER

APATHY was a recurring theme at theFish Hoek Community Police Forum (CPF)meeting held at the civic centre on Wednes-day.

The various neighbourhood watches de-bated how to attract more members, notingareas without active neighbourhoodwatches soon become easier targets forcriminals. Fish Hoek’s neighbourhoodwatches are open to residents of any age,and they cited the example of a particular-ly observant 85-year-old woman, who didsterling work for the community.

Chairperson Tony Bullock pointed outthat joining the neighbourhood watch didnot mean patrols are compulsory.

The neighbourhood watch’s role was de-scribed as to be the “eyes and ears” of thepolice, and its function is to be a “forcemultiplier” for the police.

“We need more people,” said one Clovel-ly resident, who adds the suburb is beingtargeted by criminals, including the noto-rious balaclava gang.

When the task seemed to become over-whelming, sector one chairperson MarkProwse suggested focusing on simplesteps, which would make a big difference.

Top of the list was the importance of notleaving refuse bins out the night before col-lection day.

According to the CPF, this can alertcriminals to numerous things about yourhousehold, such as whether you are athome, whether you have dogs, how manypeople live inside the house and whetheryou have bought any new electronics. Binpicking is also said to provide an excellentcover for suspects to have a reason for loi-tering near your property.

The allocation of police resources, saidto be inadequate, was also discussed.

DA Member of Provincial Parliament,Mark Wiley, who also chairs the Commu-nity Safety portfolio committee, has re-cently been quoted in the media sayingthere were “serious staff shortages” atsome key police stations in the peninsulaespecially at weekends. He added in thesouth peninsula, three police stations lost23 officers over the past 12 months andnone of them had been replaced.

Fish Hoek station commander Lieuten-ant Colonel Nico Franken says the num-bers reported by Wiley were figures basedon “an ideal world” scenario.V Neighbourhood Watch contact numbers: High-way mountainside 076 276 7546; Milkwood Park082 519 2112; Peer’s Hill 083 673 3952; Ranger 3 andLower Berg 082 411 3129; Rissi Road 074 155 6713;San Michel 082 450 3256; Sunnydale076 053 1880; Sun Valley 084 510 9112; Valyland073 165 1395; Early Avenues 073 796 6939; Capri:083 384 8635; Central Avenues (021) 782 2476;Clovelly 082 782 6333; Danieldale 072 538 9664and Dascro 082 550 3532.

FAR SOUTH: ‘NO MORATORIUM ON DEVELOPMENTS’

And no approvalwithout assessmentTERESA FISCHER

THERE can be no moratorium on fur-ther development in the South Penin-sula as was requested by the Far

South Peninsula Community Forum(FSPCF).

Last Monday Mayor Patricia de Lille vis-ited Fish Hoek with a team of MayoralCommittee (Mayco) members to addressconcerns raised by the FSPCF (“Plans tounravel traffic snarl”, People’s Post, 14May).

Forum spokesperson Lesley Shackletonsays in early May representatives of civicorganisations had presented De Lille witha list of outstanding issues “resulting fromthe City’s ongoing lack of response to let-ters and representations by civil societyover the past years”.

The mayor had promised to investigate.Nicki Holderness, chairperson of the

FSPCF, says: “The mayor’s response wasencouraging. She started by acknowledg-ing that the City had indeed not respondedas it should have and apologised for this.”

Holderness says De Lille and City Man-ager Achmat Ebrahim, who was alsopresent at the meeting, proposed in futureall concerns should be channelled throughthe Subcouncil chairperson, Felicity Pur-chase, to both the City Manager and may-or, and also copied to the relevant Mayco

member. She says it is hoped this wouldensure proper responses in future.

De Lille then called on the Mayco mem-bers present, Councillor Brett Herron,Councillor Gareth Bloor and Councillor JPSmith, to respond to the issues the FarSouth had been raising over the years.

Holderness says: “A number of signifi-cant promises were made.”

But Shackleton says although both DeLille and Bloor admitted infrastructurewas already over-capacity in the South,civics were told there could not be a mora-torium on further development in the areaas had been requested.

She says the mayor assured them eachdevelopment is considered on its own mer-it, taking into account the availability ofbulk infrastructure.

“However, Councillor Bloor undertookto carry out the long-requested StrategicEnvironmental Assessment of the FarSouth, which despite being required by na-tional legislation as a prerequisite to localplanning processes, had never been done,”says Shackleton.

She says Bloor said this would be com-

pleted within six months.She adds Herron promised traffic engi-

neers would participate in a workshopwith informed locals and experts to jointlyinvestigate which measures could be tak-en to improve traffic flow.

“It was recognised by all that there werenot the funds available for major new roadconstruction projects, but, as the civicshad been pointing out, there was muchthat could be done with limited expense.A key aspect of this would be improvingvisible policing, and exploring the manyimprovements suggested by locals for OuKaapse Weg and Kommetjie Road,” addsShackleton.

The civics had also raised the issue of theimpact the limited access routes to the FarSouth has on disaster management. Smithreported on the City’s approach to manag-ing disasters and promised a workshop be-tween civics and City Disaster Manage-ment to look at the specific constraints ex-perienced by the Far South.

Shackleton concludes the commitmentsmade by the City were welcomed by civicrepresentatives.

She says the meeting concluded with a“key quote” from the mayor, assuringthem that until these strategic issues hadbeen properly addressed, any major devel-opments in the South could not be ap-proved.

WINTERhas exposed her frilly underskirts as Capeto-nians huddle by fireplaces or in airconditioned offic-es.That is, however, not the reality for many of the

Mother City’s citizenry. There are countless peoplewith hands outstretched over dangerous braziers tokeep warm and dry.For the homeless, washing day will come when the

sun shines. In Cape Town, we know this hardly hap-pens during the rainy season.The harsh elements – compounded by our wet and

windy season – is no friend to the homeless, man oranimal.It is for this reason that Joe and Joan Ordinary are

asked – nay, begged – to reach into the recesses of theircupboards for food items, clothing curing undermoth-balls and a little bit of empathy for others less fortu-nate.And there are enough good causes where you can

spend your time or resources and discard of your“thin” or “fat” clothes.Even the animal shelters have started appealing for

help. The appeals vary from requests for blankets foranimals in shelters to food for the cats and dogs, andthe Cape of Good Hope SPCA has asked that you givethem a call if you see an animal in distress or whichhas been left out in the cold by an uncaring owner.NGOs, the religious fraternity and people with

spare time and big hearts are stepping up to the plateto help others.As you snuggle up in your warm bed or start your

daybygettingdressed, cossetted inawinter jacket anddriving in your car, youmightwant to spare a thoughtfor others who have so much less than you do.You might even be moved to part with your hard-

earned cash to support appeals for tinned goods forshelters where other people are housed.The coffers perpetually run dry. There is always a

need. You could be the difference.

Show some patience to the youthI DID not know how to start this (letter), butto keep it short and simple it all comes downto adults leading by example, as the youthlook up to us as parents and senior citizens.Our daily interactions with one another

can say a lot about this beautiful countryandvalleywe live in.We take life for grantedand are self-centred, and do not take anotherperson into consideration in many ways.We take for granted that once we were

young adults as well, having to go throughthe aches and pains of becoming adults andprogress through different stages to be com-pletely independent.I write this letter to the people for whom

the shoe fits. To the other adults I can say“thank you” for all your patience with ourchildrenwhile in training as learner driverson the road.Life does not just come easily, you have to

work for it. I would expect adults, who them-selves are parents and have children whostill have to obtain driver’s licences, to bea little more polite on the road. We all wantthe best for our children and an inconsider-ate road user is just not acceptable.My daughter had her driver’s licence test

and, while on the road, had a very abrupt,ill-mannered woman behind her. (She) gotout of her car shouted at my daughter whoalready had the stress of a traffic officer nextto her. She even shouted at the traffic officer.To me this is a sign of disrespect to our

laws. I really hope thatwomandoes not havechildren or grandchildren who have to gothrough all these phases of growing up.Your action spoke louder than words –

even though your words, together with youractions, were heard. I really do not want mychildren or any other young adult to makea mistake on the road that could (cost) themtheir lives because you bullied them on theroadwith your arrogant attitude and selfish-ness.We are taught when obtaining a driver’s

licence that you need to be polite towardsother road users.

With somanyaccidents anddeaths causedby accidents, please support the young per-son behind the steering wheel who is still ei-ther a learner and your fellow road user byhaving the patience and obeying trafficrules.Do not take life for granted, especially if

you do not have respect for your own. I won-der if we would pass the stress and compli-ance if we were to re-do a driver’s test again.I doubt half of us would be found competentto be on the road.I think the traffic department must do an

analysis of the age groups of drivers causingall these fatal as and day-to-day accidents. Itmight be very interesting.I could be arrogant enough to say “let’s

look and learn from the young drivers, be-cause that’s the way we are supposed todrive”. Perhaps it would bring down thedeath totals on the roads.We, as adults, think we know everything.

Just take three stepsbackand thinkhowyouwould want to be treated if you were youngagain. I am sure you would not want yourchild killed due to a personbehind a steeringwheel whowas bullied on the road by anoth-er impatient road user.Let’s build mutual respect for one another

on the roads of South Africa, especially inFish Hoek. We are constantly giving criti-cism to taxi driverswhilewe are at fault our-selves.I do not want my child in an accident be-

cause of a disrespectful and impatient wom-an.Dear woman, for your information, you

would have failed your driver’s test todayeven before you started your car. Maybe mydaughter needs to give you some driving les-sons and teach you some manners.It will be free. I will give my support to all

young people behind a steeringwheel in thisvalley and I hopemy letterwould change theattitudes of some impatient adults on theroad.Mitzi Conradie, Fish Hoek

Friendly Fish HoekIT IS now three months since we relocatedfrom Durban. My wife Maureen was chat-ting to our daughter on Skype, and I heardher saying that the has made more friends

in three months here in Fish Hoek than shemade in 70 years in Durban. “Such lovelypeople,” she said.We went to the concert at the high school

on Friday evening and really enjoyed the SANavy Band and the Quarrymen.Ron Clark, Fish Hoek

BABOONS: ‘NO LINK TO EXTREME RAIDING’

Euthanasia is setto continueTERESA FISCHER

THEeuthanasia of anothermalebaboonhas been approved. This comes in thewake of a number of baboons having

been killed in recent months, three as a re-sult of human-induced injuries and five –including one alpha male – due to the raid-ing protocol.Critics say the killing of the alpha males

is proof the authorities’ strategy is notworking.JuliaWood, who heads up the Biodiversi-

ty Management Branch at the City of CapeTown, says: “Three females from the north-ern troops (Tokai/Constantia) were eutha-nised on humane grounds, two of them asa result of human-induced injuries.”She adds in the Far South three females

were euthanised according to the RaidingProtocol and one female was euthanised asa result of human-induced injury.Jenni Trethowan, of Baboon Matters,

says one of the females was Tammy of theDa Gama troop.Trethowan says her full name – Tham-

sanqa – is from a Xhosa word which means“lucky one”.She was so named by monitors after she

had previously been shot four times by anangry resident.As a result of her injuries her leg has had

to be amputated. Two other bullets landedin her shoulder and one in her jaw.Trethowan adds: “There is a further,

deeply worrying, assertion from the Ba-boon Technical Team that the crippled ba-boons are the worst raiders and must,therefore, be removed.At themoment thereis no evidence at all to correlate crippledbodies with extreme raiding.”Another female was injured, subsequent-

ly darted and treated.She was then released back into the wild

and has subsequently disappeared.Wood confirms CapeNature has ap-

proved the euthanasia of baboons SK2 andGOB5.SK2 (known to activists as Jesse) of the

Slangkop troop was euthanised on Thurs-day 4 April.Activists say he took over after Split Lip

disappeared.Wood says: “SK2 was an habitual raiding

male baboon that ignored all forms of aver-sive conditioning and took young males in-to theurbanareas to raid.Hewas also a riskfor starting a new splinter troop.”Wood says GOB5 (known to activists as

Slumko/ Slimkop) of the Misty Cliffs splin-ter troop is still alive andwill remain so un-til he can no longer be controlled by man-agement actions.An activist, who asked not to be named,

says SK2 became the alpha male of theSlangkop troop after Lucky/Jason waskilled in November.Wood says: “GOB5 is a baboon that is

adept at breaking doors to enter houses. Heis not afraid of humans at all, and is veryconfident approaching them.“He is, however, the only adult male of

the splinter troop, and therefore he has notbeen euthanised yet.”She adds that baboons have been eutha-

nised according to the raidingprotocol, say-ing there has been no culling of baboons asculling is an “entirely different processwhereby youwant to reduce the populationand has very different implications”.V Details are contained in Human Wildlife Solutionsmonthly reports available on the City and CapeNa-ture’s websites at www.capetown.gov.za andwww.capenature.co.za.

SOUGHT: LEGAL ADVICE

Proxy votesdeclaredinvalidTHE Noordhoek Conservancy has a newchairperson, voted into office during lastMonday’s eventful annual meeting.Crowds packed into the venue, in what

outgoing chairperson Bridget O’Donoghuesaid were record numbers.Nominated candidates introduced them-

selves, all declaring their love for Noord-hoek.Before voting could commence, the com-

mittee, however, had to address thematterof over 100 proxy votes. Some of theseforms had been filled in by people who didnot live in Noordhoek.Each committee member gave their own

reasons for refusing to accept the proxies,including: “If those people really caredabout Noordhoek they would be at themeeting.”Proxies are not covered by the constitu-

tion of the Conservancy and therewere dif-fering opinions on whether they were val-id.O’Donoghue took the final decision not

to accept the proxies. This was greetedwith enthusiastic applause.Jeremy Wiley, of the Noordhoek Farm

Village, then stood up to read an emailfrom Sybrand van der Spuy’s lawyersthreatening legal action against the Con-servancy should they not accept the prox-ies.O’Donoghue replied that these lawyers

had been unable to provide her with the“senior counsel’s opinion” they referredto, saying they said it had been “oral”.“To put it into context,” she added, com-

mitteemembers routinely received threatsof lawsuits. The committee said they, too,had sought legal advice and came to theirown conclusion, based on this advice, thatthe proxies were not constitutional.Wiley pointed out an independent elec-

toral officer should be appointed to tallythe votes. After a short discussion aboutwhowouldbe suited to this task,Wiley sug-gested he be the presiding officer. This wasreceived by laughter, and then the nomina-tion of City official Chris Bonthuis to over-see the counting.The new chairperson is Pete de Bruin,

and the vice-chairperson is Paul Bester.Hazel Nason remains treasurer, as doessecretary Jenny Scagell. Robyn Astl, LouDocke, Zoë Visser, Keith Gurney, GarethGriffiths, Leon Halliday, Kevin McCarthyandMiles Conwaywere elected as commit-tee members.V Email Pete de Bruin at [email protected].

Camps Bay claim tennis’ Triple CrownLIAM MOSES

CAMPS BAY Tennis Clubhavemadehistorybywin-ning all three WesternProvince Tennis Associa-tion Premier League titlesin a single season.The club claimed the

men’s, women’s andmixed doubles titles, foronly the second time inthe history of the competi-tion and for the secondtime in the club’s history.Club presidenAlanChi-

at says the club’s friendlyand open atmosphere isthe reason they can at-tract and keep so manyquality players“We have built a fantas-

tic club spirit. We are wellrounded and have quitestrong youth section,” he says.“It’s a friendly club so adults and jun-

iors feel comfortable, and a lot of peopleare friends off-court. When you joinCampsBayyouare joininga tennis familyas opposed to just joining a club wherepeople play tennis, but don’t get on thatwell. That separates us from the rest andhas enabled us to go from strength tostrength.”Camps Bay last won all the triple crown

in 2003, which was also the first time inthe club’s history the men’s and women’steams won the Premier League.Since then the women’s andmixed dou-

bles teams have dominated the league,with eight women’s titles in the last eightyears and nine doubles titles in the last11 years.Women’s team captain Jacqui Boyd

says the club’s depth has allowed them todominate.“The fact that we had six of our top la-

dies out for 70% of the season, due to inju-ries and health issues, shows the depth ofCamps Bay,” says Boyd.“We still managed to win the Premier

League with a pool of 10 or 12 differentplayers. Even thoughweare getting older,our experience pulled us through.”The men’s team have not had as much

success during the same period and the ti-tle is their first since winning the triplecrown in 2003.Men’s skipper Gavin Smith says re-

claiming the title was a “very satisfyingachievement” after years of trying.“We had a broad spectrum and experi-

ence in the team, as well as one of SouthAfrica’s top juniors, Josh Luck, playingfor us. Some of the old heads in the sidealso helped to get us through.”Chiat adds the club was just as proud

of the men’s sixth team – the lowest at theclub – for winning promotion from the10th to the ninth league.
