RESIDENTS are breathing a sigh ofrelief following the clean-up of an il-legal dump site.
Dumping on Coronation and Royalroads in Maitland has literally got upresidents’ noses, with fears that proper-ty values might drop.
Locals say dumping of building rub-ble and domestic waste at the MaitlandSwimming Pool and privately ownedpremises have reached a level of “dis-gust”.
Zahiedah Van Der Forte of the Pano-rama Court Body Corporate, says theproblem on Coronation, Carlisle andRoyal roads has “furious residents”worrying that the area has become a“haven for thieves and dumping”.
Residents have previously written tocouncil, requesting the area be cleanedto prevent dumping from escalating.
A vacant plot on the corner of Carlisleand Royal roads, neighbouring Pano-rama Court, was specifically pointedout as a problem area.
Van Der Forte says: “Besides attract-ing cockroaches, rats and other vermin,this affects property values in the area.It is disgusting and only gets worse andwe have to walk past this every day”.
Lungiswa James, Mayoral Commit-tee member for Health at the City ofCape Town, explains that a notice interms of the City’s EnvironmentalHealth By-law was served on the Na-tional AWQAF Foundation of South Af-rica last month to clear the propertyfrom rubble, refuse and offensive mat-ter.
“The notice was fully complied withand the dwellings was demolished andresultant material was removed by thedue date,” says James.
Jason marais, a nearby resident,regularly passes the vacant plot andsays the mess has started spilling intothe street.
He explains having dumping on theplot was bad enough, but now dumppiles are appearing on the sidewalksoutside the plot.
“It’s sickening that people have to livelike this and although I don’t live closeto this plot, as a resident in the area,
you don’t like seeing your neighboursgo through something like this,” saysMarais.
James confirmed that a second no-tice has been served on the owners ofthe privately-owned land, which ex-pires on 26 April. Should this not becomplied with, a fine or legal action willbe taken against the owners.
When People’s Post drove in the ar-ea, the dumping was clearly evident. Arecreational park in Royal Road was al-so targeted, with it’s entrance litteredwith broken furniture, rubbish andbuilding rubble.
Rustim Keraan, Director for the De-partment of Solid Waste Management,mentioned that dumping hotspots areregularly cleared by the department.
He encourages residents to forwardinformation on dumping to council.
“The City’s Solid Waste By-law En-forcement Unit can, under certain cir-cumstances, take action against illegaldumping and the unit handles the legalaspects of fines and the criminal proce-dures relating to dumping,” says Ker-aan.
The former Maitland Swimming Poolremains an issue with illegal occupa-tion inside the derelict building, dump-ing on the empty field surrounding thebuilding and the site being used tostash stolen property coming to thefore.
The site in Royal Road has three der-elict buildings, with a large vacantspace earmarked for the Royal Mait-
land Phase III project by the Cape TownCommunity Housing Company(CTCHC).
The development will comprise ofsingle-, double- and three-storey build-ings, each containing one-, two- andthree-bedroom units, with landscaping,grassy areas with benches and a laun-dry.
James confirmed that the City ofCape Town continues to clear thedumping from vacant land until the saleof the land to CTCHC is completed.
“The Deed of Sale was not clear interms of who would be responsible forthe upkeep and running costs untiltransfer,” says James.
A previous report in the People’sPost “Sinking hopes over Maitland
swimming pool (20 December 2011)”focused on the drug dealing and dump-ing, which which were the sore pointsaround the Maitland Swimming Pool.
A local businesswoman, who spoketo People’s Post on condition of ano-nymity, said she has reached a stageof “utter frustration” as the issues haveworsened.
She explained that police are calledout to the site when anti-social behav-iour, such as usage of drugs or dump-ing, are spotted.
However, the behaviour is only en-countered by residents at “certainhours of the day”.
“During the night everything literallylights up on that open piece of land –from uncontrolled fires, to smokingdagga and fighting. During the day, youare faced with the image of dumping,”says the resident.
Captain Louis Solomons, acting Sta-tion Commander for the Maitland Po-lice Station, urged residents to comeforward with descriptions of the sus-pects.
“Police will give these matters theneccessary attention if the right infor-mation from the public is received,”says Solomons.
He added that police will continue tomonitor the situation around the pool.
“If we receive complaints, we will re-spond and send out officers to the ar-ea,” Solomons concluded.
Residents can report details aboutdumped material and requests fordumped material to be cleaned up (ifdumping is not found on privatelyowned land) by contacting the City’sCall Centre on 086 010 3089, via fax on(021) 400 4302 or via email to [email protected]

THE inability of her parents topay for her university fees andthe fact that no one in her ex-tended family ever reached mat-ric only served as a motivatingfactor for Tumi Hartnick fromWoodstock.
Her hard work has payed off andshe will graduate for her NationalHigher Certificate (NHC) in Ac-counting, at CPUT.
She worked at a meat market inher township to pay for extraMathematics classes during hermatric year in 2006. This deniedher a lot of study time, but she hadno choice.
Every single day customers atthe market would say: “I don’t wantfat please”. She says, “I knew thatthis could not be my life. I savedevery cent I could so that I couldget out of the meat market.”
Her hands were forever coldand she would always pick up theflu. Her meager savings were notenough to take her to varsity. Herbelief that her unemployed par-ents had always saved money forher studies turned into shockwhen they told her the opposite.
Hartnick never despaired butkept on working while applying forbetter jobs that could allow her to register atvarsity. An opportunity presented itself at a fur-niture shop in Diep River where she workedas a temp doing administration work. This iswhere she got her initial accounting experi-ence as a Creditors Clerk and went on to beappointed on a full-time basis.
All was not well yet because her salarycouldn’t cover the cost of studying.
It was only in 2009 that she managed to reg-ister for the NHC in accounting at CPUT’sCape Town campus. The part-time study ex-perience included leaving classes early tocatch the last bus home. Winter was worse be-cause it got dark quicker.
“I’ve been mugged and robbed of my text-books and bus fare but none of these mishapshave made me lose sight of my goal to be thefirst university graduate in my family. And now,three years later, I will be graduating with myNHC Accounting. I’ve decided to continue thisyear with my national diploma,” she says.
Tumi is currently employed as a creditorsclerk at Vodacom’s Western Cape Head Of-fice.

RESIDENTS living in the upper regions ofWoodstock are concerned about the increasein crime “hotspots”.
The areas in question include Selbourne,Chamberlain, Balfour, Salisbury and Palmerstonroads, including Block 1346.
According to the Subsector 2 Forum, therewere 31 reported cases of crime this January, buta festive operations strategy by the Woodstockpolice was “clearly successful”.
However, the forum noticed an increase incrime when police were required to continue theirusual shift structure.
The forum highlighted issues such as a vacanthouse in Selbourne Street constantly being bro-ken into, even though it is being guarded by theprivate security firm. The owner of the house isdeceased.
Meanwhile, vagrants have been removed from17B Perth Road, a house currently under con-struction. The vagrants, however, returned.
The Forum reports that Pine Road remains adrug-dealing hotspot and a request has beensubmitted for an on-site inspection. The area hassubsequently been cleaned and rubble re-moved.
Sergeant Hilton Malila, spokesperson for theWoodstock Police Station, mentioned that Block1346 had been “relatively quiet” for the last fourmonths.
He said theft out of motor vehicles was a crimecommonly reported, but he adds that heightenedpolice visibility has “changed the tide” of criminalactivity.
“We can assure the residents that the situationin the mentioned block is under control as policemade various arrests during the past months fortheft out of motor vehicles,” he says.
Malila went on to urge residents in the blockthat, with winter arriving, the streets around theblock are not equipped with adequate lighting.
Residents are requested to park their vehicleswhere it is visible at night or under a street light.All valuables must be removed and alarms acti-vated as it can act as a deterrent for criminals.
He also confirmed that the police were awareof reported incidents in Selbourne Street, but hewould not go as far as to regard the area as a“hotspot”.
“The situation was brought under the attentionof the sector commander and receives the nec-essary attention it requires,” says Malila.
He said the constant burglaries at the Sel-bourne Street property was “not a police matter”,but rather a private one which required the atten-tio of the executors.
He mentioned that there were no records atthe station which could confirm any break-ins,but said the station would monitor the house dur-ing patrols.. The Cluster Community Police Board, Clus-
ter Commander and Station Commander are in-viting local schools, SGB’s and principals, reli-gious institutions, civics, businesses, sports or-ganisations, professionals and NGO’s to registerwith the Woodstock Community Police Forum foreligibility to serve in the CPF and to take part inthe election of the Woodstock CPF on Monday14 May.
People’s Post ran the article last week, “Wood-stock police forum dissolved” (10 April), which fo-cused on the CPF being dissolved after it hadbeen discovered that their election process hadbeen in contravention of the constitution.
Registration for organisations to join the CPFopened yesterday (Monday 16 April) and runsuntil 4 May till 16:00 at the Woodstock Police Sta-tion.

TONY ROBINSON
THERE is an economic theory that publicspending should be counter-cyclic.
In practical terms, this means that when theeconomy slows down and money is tight, thegovernment and municipalities should increasespending in order to keep things moving, gener-ate business and preserve jobs.
Nothing wrong with that.It is certainly a time to put
savings to work and even bor-row money to undertake infra-structure projects.
It is also a time when munici-palities should get good valuefor their money (actually ourmoney) because the competi-tion is keen as companies bidfiercely for contracts.
So it is not really surprisingthat the City’s income in-creased from R13.5 billion in2008 to R26.8 billion this year.
But this, according to theGreater Cape Town Civic Alli-ance and their researcher,Henri Wolfaardt, is too much ofa good thing.
It is an increase of R13.3 bil-lion, or 98.5 percent and it cer-tainly does give the impression of a rip-roaringspending spree.
What really hurts, is that it has come “duringa period of economic recession when manybusinesses were forced to close or scale downoperations and tens of thousands were re-trenched or had to accept reduced hours andreduced incomes.”
While this was happening, municipal salariesincreased at an alarming rate.
Property rates increases out-performed in-flation and the City took full advantage of thesavage Eskom electricity tariff increases.
So the money to finance the counter cyclicspending was not just coming from savings orborrowings. It was also coming from the hard-working people of Cape Town,
The GTCA rubs in the point.
Figures from the National Department of Sta-tistics show that during the two years from De-cember 2008 to September/October 2010, ap-proximately 800 000 people were retrenched.
The residents of Cape Town did not escape,yet the City’s budget increased handsomelynonetheless. And it is set to increase by anoth-er R3.3 billion over the next 12 months.
One may well ask: “Will this runaway spend-ing ever stop? Can residents afford this? Wherewill they find the money? Who benefits from all
this spending?”But let us stay with the theory
of counter-cyclic economics.Things are beginning to im-
prove so, in terms of the theory,the City should now cut back onspending.
If it was up to me I would ap-point a Budget Tsar to gothrough every department andhack out the wasteful spend-ing.
From the abuse of photostatmachines and mileage claimsto sick leave forms and pro-curement.
In particular he/she shouldlook at the bills from consult-ants and the spending in thelast three months of the munici-pal year because that is when
the race is on to spend the full budget allocationso that there will be a case to increase the allo-cation next year.
In the mean time you can draw comfort fromthe fact that the Council is being watched bya bunch of hawks in the Greater Cape TownCivic Alliance.
They represent over 100 civic and allied or-ganisations, so their eyes are everywhere!
Dear reader,Excelling in the sales arena in today’s high-
ly challenging economic times, is a tall order.A double-dip recession has seen many busi-nesses fold and crippled others to within awhisker of extinction.
Millions of over-indebted South Africanshave had to place themselves under debt re-view. Given this context, People’s Post is veryproud of our advertising representativesSheryl Haupt and Michelle Poggenpoel, whoon Friday scooped awards(see page 1) for sales successat the WP Newspapers Repre-sentative of the Year ceremo-ny. Retaining clients versusestablished competition canonly be as a result of deliveringconsistent quality service; ap-plying innovative sales strate-gy.
On the topic of business, Iattended Islamic Relief SouthAfrica’s inaugural businessbreakfast last week and washeartened by the strong entre-preneurial spirit that exists inour communities. I was in-spired by the determination and honesty withwhich small businessmen and women keepgoing; not dependent on formal employment,and at the fountain of talent.
I had a taste of entrepreneurship during myfreelance and self-employed years betweenjournalism. I sold everything; from clothingand food to loo paper and a transport service.I know how difficult it is to bring home a fewrands, let alone hundreds and thousands.
One of my clients, who had not paid severalof his suppliers, eventually had to face themusic for his unethical dealings. I was one ofa few whom he had owed zero, because Istood up to him and demanded cash everytime my vehicle transported his supplies.
You have to be tough in business, especial-ly when you’re self-employed and have noprotection other than your instinct. You bagthe profits; so too the risk. You cannot under-sell yourself; factor in your labour, time, petrolcosts, electricity, phone bill and every otherrunning expense, before setting a price that’s
too low. It must be worth your while; you’rein it for the money!
On a lighter note, I’ve started running. After17 years, I’ve overcome my fear of running,all thanks to the Lion of Africa/Itheko SportAthletic Club’s head coach Farouk Meyer.
Coach extraordinaire, Farouk took me, mycolleague Edwin Scott and about a dozen oth-er novice runners on the road and up the hilllast week, literally.
None of us would have believed at the out-set of our run that we couldcomplete a 5km run completewith a steep hill. I made somefriends along the way. Likeme, some of the other womenwere anxious about running. Ihad images of collapsingalong the road and having tobe embarrassingly carriedback to base camp.
I’ve always been a runner,until I was told by the coachof a walk/run programme thatI’m a walker. And that’s whatI believed, but no longer.
It’s early days yet, but mychallenge is clear: train for the
next six weeks to complete a 10km run in theJive Slave Route Challenge on 27 May. Theclub caters for beginners to elite runners andtrains twice a week at Rhodes High Schoolin Mowbray, meeting at 18:00 on Tuesday orThursdays.
I’m bracing myself for my next run tomor-row. Wish me luck.

A HANDFUL of Panorama Court residents inMaitland took their first steps towards resolv-ing rampant theft at a meeting on Sunday.
The court has been plagued by crimes – includ-ing the theft of expensive locks on the gates.
This is the most recent in a litany of thefts, duringwhich thieves made off with goods of resale valueat metal scrapyards, including copper pipes andwindow frames, as reported in the People’s Post(“Block of flats targeted”, 3 April).
Zahiedah Van Der Forte, of the Panorama CourtBody Co-orperate, said it was disappointing thatnot all residents were not present at the meeting.
“It was also discouraging to note that many moreresidents, while in their flats, chose not to attendthe meeting which for convenience sake, was heldin the courtyard of the block,” says Van Der Forte.
Despite the poor attendance, the PanoramaResidents Against Crime (Praca) was formed. Itconsists of residents, owners and tenants.
Van der Forte says that the organisation wouldprimarily work together and with the police to helpcreate a safer environment.
Residents discussed several measures neededto be put in place to prevent the crime from ham-pering residents’ safety.
This included improving the lighting at the block,relocating the entrance so that it is visible to every-one for monitoring purposes, making it compulso-ry for tenants to use key or remote access only,employing a security guard and conducting nightpatrols.
“It was encouraging to see residents so con-cerned with crime that they got together to dosomething about it and we can only hope that, to-gether with other organisations, the communityand the police, they will find the peace of mind theyare looking for,” Van Der Forte concluded.

THE older cemeteries in Cape Town arereaching full capacity, which poses a chal-lenge to City Parks, the department responsi-ble for cemeteries.
Instead of developing more cemeteries,they have seen it as an opportunity to makeavailable additional burial and interment op-tions to increase density of burials, while stillrespecting cultural and religious diversity.Maitland Cemetery is Cape Town’s lar-gestwith 113 hectares and will exhaust its vacantgrave space within three years, City Parks saidin a statement. There are areas in this ceme-tery that cannot be used for in-ground burialdue to the presence of a high water table. Thisland was, therefore, earmarked for buildingabove-ground concrete crypts in the form ofa mausoleum, as an alternative internment op-tion.
A pilot phase of 144 mausoleum crypts werebuilt in 2011 and after 15 months of environ-mental monitoring, these crypts are now offi-cially on offer to the public.
During the last five years, City Parks has al-so extended Khayelitsha, Grassy Park andWelmoed Cemeteries, as well as developednew cemeteries in Wallacedene and Delft.These cemeteries were designed with two
types of private graves; full monumental andberm grave blocks. In order to densify buriallayout, the berm grave layout was introducedwithout pathways between graves. The me-morial work on berm graves is limited to head-stones only and no monumental work is al-lowed on the surface of the grave. The surfaceis levelled and grassed to provide access forvisitors. Berm graves are offered at 40% of theprice of a full monumental grave, which pro-vides a significant cost incentive, while the Citysaves space for future burial demands.
Berm and full monumental graves offer “ex-clusive right of burial” and these graves givethe family the option to re-use the grave forsecond burials (on top) of another family coffin.Second burials or burials on top of anotherfamily member causes no disturbance to thefirst buried coffin. This practice is therefore en-couraged to provide for more space in existingcemeteries.
Booking enquiries can be made at theNorthern Cemetery Booking Office on(021) 550 7639.

Babies in jailTHE gestation period for humans is nine months.Incarceration for criminals can be anything fromtrial-awaiting to a lifetime without parole.
So what to do about pregnant inmates? Shouldthey be allowed to keep their babies, or would itbe in the child’s best interest to be removed froma mother who is in prison? There are no easy an-swers.
The effects of crime are evident worldwide. Au-thorities are faced with an uphill battle to stymiecrime. Overcrowding in prisons and the ease withwhich released convicts return to old habits addto the burden. These are the known variables.
A more subjective factor would be a child’s re-sponse to being raised by an absent mother. Sucha child would be denied a mother’s touch, voiceand nurturing. Such a mother would be denied thechance to love her child and, it is hoped, halt recidi-vism.
One cannot, therefore, divorce the moral obliga-tion to both mother and child.
The psychological factor – that prison is noplace for a child – cannot be overlooked. In a soci-ety which fails so many other children – throughits failure to aid the abandoned, abused and ne-glected – should an imprisoned mother not havethe right to be with her child?
The argument in favour of inmates keeping theirchildren, even for a limited time, could be bol-stered by the hope of breaking the cycle of repeatoffending, curbing children of inmates from be-coming offenders, and facilita-ting that most basicof human needs: bonding between a mother andchild.
A study in an American prison found that of 65inmates who took part in a prison nur-sery projectcompared to a control group of 30 inmates whohad had their babies removed 72 hours after birth,17% of the first group returned to jail. Half of thecontrol group did.
The bottom line could very well be at issue. Au-thorities should weigh up the cost of inmates keep-ing their babies in prison versus that of keepinga convict.
Marathon a top-classeventTHE organizers of the 2012 Two Oceans Ultra56km and 21.1km Half Marathon races must becomplimented for a superbly and well organizedevent, despite the inclement weather, which threat-ened to “destroy” our spirits.
With a record number of 26 000 runners partici-pating in this year’s race, the enthusiasm and ex-citement was exhilarating. It was the first time thatI experienced the rainy, cool weather in this, myfourth half marathon, and with much trepidation,my two brothers and I, whom admittedly did notput in the required training to run a sub three hourrace, were unfazed by the drenching downpour aswe reached the torturous Southern Cross in Con-stantia. The camaraderie and tenacious determi-nation of my fellow runners was abounding and therain did very little to dampen their spirits.
Unbeknown to us, while contending with theheavy downpour on the road disaster had struckfor the organizers at the finish line, when the time-keeping clock, media advertising merchandise andballoons were blown over by a strong gust of thetreacherous south-easter! It did very little to marproceedings which proceeded unabated and un-deterred by the ghastly weather.
The dedicated marshals braved the torrents ofrain well insulated in waterproof attire, ensuring oursafety and deserve a medal, while the medics were
always in sight hoping for the Cape Doctor to makean appearance. Thankfully, there were not manyreported emergencies or injuries during this year’srace.
Optimistically, the steady rain ensured that wedid not have to hydrate as regularly as required,which usually attributes to the unnecessary loss oftime at the refreshment stations, and this contribut-ed positively to our excellent finishing time.
With the finish line in sight and the soggy UCTrugby field under my feet, I heard with much jubila-tion and enthusiasm, announcer, Paul Kaye, excit-edly proclaim that he hoped that the most beautifulrace would attract approximately 30 000 runnersnext year, and with over forty percent of the halfmarathon participants being novices this year, thepossibility is certainly achievable.
Well done and thanks to all the runners andsponsors for ensuring that the Mother City playshost to the most beautiful race in the world.

No faith in Post Office deliv-eryI AM very disappointed in the Post Office. It seemsthat their service is getting worse! I am waiting formore than a month already for a parcel that is sup-posed to take less than a week to arrive and a letterthat was supposed to take two days, took twomonths to reach its destination.
The Post Office has cost me so much time and
money in the past already.I was hoping that they would get their act togeth-
er, but it looks as if it’s going from bad to worse.To make matters worse, you don’t receive apolo-gies for bad service.JASMINE UYS
Medical aidbluesWHY is it that one has to fight with medical aidsin order for them to refund on chronic medica-tion?
When they first sell you the policy, you are as-sured that you will be receiving the best service.Sign up and see what happens. The best medicalaid is your bank where you can receive interestinstead of wasting your money on these MedicalAid firms.
They seem to forget that without you, theywouldn’t exist. To make matters worse they have
the audacity to deduct monies due to you be-cause of their negligence or laziness in not re-questing the pharmacists or doctors for codesthat only they know. Yet the increases which arelevied yearly they never neglect.
There are many people who have cottoned on-to this and have now invested their money intoa “special” account in the bank. If one must pay50% of all fees, then what does the exorbitantamount one is paying to the medical aid, cover?V G BEHRENSPinelands

-SUMMER JACOBS
WE’VE all experienced it: the un-comfortable situation where acar guard stares at you throughyour car window after you’ve on-ly popped into the shop for fiveminutes. Considered by some aschan-cers trying to make a quickbuck and by others as noble peo-ple trying to make a living,they’ve certainly made their pres-ence felt in car parks rangingfrom shopping centres to nightclubs. People’s Post took to thestreet to find out your views.
Onguard
BREAD AND BUTTER: “Some ofthese car guards are highly qualifiedforeigners who can’t make a living intheir own countries. They are willingto do anything to put food on the tableand I find that admirable,” says NadiaMoore from Plumstead.
COMMISSION: “I don’t think weshould be tipping car guards if theyare getting a salary. We don’t knowif they are getting paid by the govern-ment for the service they are provid-ing. If they are, it means we are basi-cally giving them commission,” saysSonica Koopman from Pinelands.
DOUBLE SIDED: “On the onehand it is job creation and on theother it depends on where you areand how long you will be there. Ifyou are only popping into the shopfor ten minutes, it seems pointlessto tip the car guard,” says MosesKwisomba from Lotus River.
PEACE OF MIND: “I think it de-pends on where you are parkingyour car. I feel safe knowing thereis someone late at night in theparking lot when I am walking tomy car alone,” says Jonathan No-vember from Wynberg.
CONSUMER’S RIGHTS: “Ifshopping centres can have secu-rity inside their stores why can’tthey have it outside as well? Weare their clients. Why should wepay for the safety of our posses-sions as well? I don’t tip them,”says Yolanda Arries from Ath-lone.
A HELPLINE has been setup and will be staffed by apharmacist to assist pa-tients in need of urgentmedication.
This is in response tosome areas experiencinga delay in the issuing ofchronic medication.
The helpline has beenset up by the Departmentof Health.
This comes after UTiPharma, the new serviceprovider responsible forthe delivery of medicineparcels to public health fa-cilities, experienced initialproblems while an im-proved dispensing systemwas being introduced.
Patients were forced toqueue for hours at govern-ment health facilities in re-cent weeks after the data transfer of200 000 patient files to the new con-tractor caused the delay.
New business processes and theuse of new equipment also impacted onthe delivery service.
Medicines have meanwhile been dis-pensed manually.
A government spokesperson reportsthat the delivery of pre-packed pre-scriptions has now been resumed atmany facilities.
Provincial health minister, TheunsBotha, says the Western Cape is “push-ing new boundaries” in terms of medi-cine dispensing.
“The new contract with UTi outlinedexpansion to new outlets and posednew challenges for the provider. What
we are now experiencing are teethingproblems, but they are in the processof being resolved.
“However, we do apologise to our pa-tients for the disruption and inconven-ience this has caused. We believe thatin the long term it will alleviate longqueues at facilities and bring about animproved service.”
Those experiencing difficulty in col-lecting their medication can phone thehelpline on 083 472 9300.
A pharmacist can help by guiding pa-tients to the nearest 24-hour facilitywhere prescriptions can be obtained.

Local biker leads thepackA BERGVLIET boy has become
Cape Town’s best hope of se-curing a title in the National Moto-cross Championship this year afteropening up a comfortable lead atthe top of the points table.
Justin Sangster, a nine-year-oldwho attends Sweet Valley PrimarySchool, took control of the 50cc classlast month after he won both of hisheats at round two of the champion-ship and set new lap records at theShavron motocross track in Bloem-fontein.
Sangster, who also set the fastestlap time at the previous event at SunCity in February, says that the secretbehind his impressive performancesis preparing well before each race.
“I train really hard with my coach,Dean Hoffman. I rest for at least threedays before a race and try to eathealthy foods and avoid fizzy drinks.
“I pray each day and thank God af-ter every race day. My dad sends mybike to Cecil Penny, our great me-chanic, who preps my bike before arace and I watch MX DVDs to get my-self geared up for a race,” he says.
Other Cape Town riders in the 50ccclass also proved their worth in Blo-emfontein, claiming four of the top ten
places.Chris Erasmus finished fifth, while
Calum Marriott placed seventh and
Oliver Glover took the ninth spot.The only other Cape Town rider to
achieve a top-five finish was Anthony
Raynard, who earned a respectablefifth place in the MX2 (250cc) class.
Raynard set the fastest lap time in
practice before the event, but couldnot withstand the onslaught of currentSouth African champion Kerim Fit-zgerald, who won the class quite com-fortably.
The victory at Shavron has givenSangster a 13-point cushion ahead ofhis home event in Melkbos later thismonth.
The youngster, who has been de-scribed as “gutsy and very deter-mined”, says he dreams of one dayriding in Europe or America.
“I love the feeling of riding a power-ful bike and speeding around the MX(motocross) track. It’s fun and I’vemade lots of new friends,” says Sang-ster.
The Cape Town National, roundthree of the National MX champion-ship, will be held at the Melkbos Moto-cross track on Saturday 28 April.
Sangster will certainly be hard tobeat on his home track because thesandy course suits his riding style.

Collegians vs Primrose goes down to thewireLIAM MOSES
THE Cape Town club rugby season kicked off with abang this weekend when Collegians RFC and PrimroseRFC faced off in a frenetic, intense encounter at the Len-tegeur Sports Complex on Saturday.
The game has grown into somewhat of a grudgematch in recent seasons and it was clear that both setsof players were desperate to claim bragging rights untilthe next time the teams met.
Primrose gained the ascendancy in the opening stag-es of the first half as their powerful pack of forwards keptthe team rumbling towards the opposition try line andcreated the momentum necessary for the back divisionto profit.
The pacy Primrose back three were kept away fromthe whitewash only by the committed defence of theirCollegians’ counterparts. But the host could not repli-cate the aptitude they showed on defence during theirattacking play, and failure to protect their possession re-sulted in Collegians trailing 14-5 after 25 minutes.
The home side were forced to dig deep and their ef-forts were rewarded in the 30th minute when a convert-ed try saw them narrow the points deficit despite a poordisplay from their goal-kicker.
Collegians resumed their ascendancy in the secondhalf and managed to pull away to a 22-17 lead in the75th minute after another converted try.
However, the lead was short-lived and two penaltiesfrom Primrose saw them come from behind to snatcha 22-23 victory in the dying minutes of the game.
Primrose coach Herman Mashimla said that he wasalways expecting the result of the game to be a narrowvictory for either side.
“It’s always great to win here. There’s a lot of historyin this kind of contest and we were not expecting any-thing else,” said Mashimla.
“I wasn’t the coach last year, but I believe last yearit also went the way of the penalty,l so we were not ex-pecting less. It was a great game, and we were luckyto win.”
Five of the Collegians players who took to the fieldon Saturday were in the U20 team last year, and accord-ing to coach Adiel Gallie, the loss is part of the learningcurve for the youngsters. Gallie believes that his sidewill improve as the season progresses.
“These youngsters have proven today what hard workdoes, and it’s only the beginning for this season,” saysGalllie.
“We should take heart from what has happened andlearn from the mistakes we made. Everybody tried, andI think we are going to go places this year.”
Gallie added that he would work on his team’s han-dling and goal-kicking before their next match.
Primrose will play Brackenfell at home in their nextgame this Saturday, while Collegians will travel to Good-wood.

Outrage – by num-bersLIAM MOSES
THE local office of the South African FootballAssociation (SAFA) has launched an investi-gation into the age cheating allegationswhich recently rocked the Metropolitan Pre-mier Cup.
The annual Under 19 tournament, which hasgrown into a highlight on the local football calen-dar, was shrouded in controversy this year aftera player from the eventual champions, PhilippiUnited Football Club, was accused of being over-aged and incorrectly registered.
A formal complaint was lodged against theplayer, Sinethemba Anta, and the club during theopening rounds of the competition, after an offi-cial from Salt River Blackpool claimed that theplayer in question was still a registered memberof that club.
However, the subsequent disciplinary hearingheld by the tournament organisers failed to findconclusive evidence of the claim and no actionwas taken.
Norman Arendse, president of SAFA CapeTown, says that the matter could be solved in thenext few days, once the investigation is conclud-ed.
“We can only react after the event. The matterhas now been referred to a disciplinary commit-tee and the disciplinary committee will get to thebottom of the matter,” says Arendse.
“Hopefully as soon as possible, possibly thiscoming week, we will get an outcome. Either theplayer is 16 as they say or he is 20 as Salt RiverBlackpool says he is.”
The organisers of the tournament, Bayhill Unit-ed Football Club and the Bayhill committee, havebeen subjected to a flood of criticism from thepublic and a huge amount of media attentionsince the tournament concluded on Monday 9April.
The claims levelled at the tournament organis-ers by the public include; incompetence at deal-ing with age cheating and incorrect registration,attempting to hide evidence of age cheating sothat the competition does not receive negative at-tention and not allowing SAFA Cape Town to playenough of a role in the tournament.
The tournament’s director, PJ Williams, hasdenied these allegations and insists that the tour-nament officials always paid careful attention tothe issue of age cheating.
“We cannot react to speculation, accusationsand connotations that float around the park dayafter day,” he says.
“It’s not the first time and won’t be the last timethat there are accusations about players beingover-aged. It’s been coming for a long time. Weonly act on facts.”
According to Williams, the complaint madeagainst Anta and Philippi United was the only offi-cial age cheating complaint of the tournament.
Williams added that the only evidence present-ed against the player during the disciplinary hear-ing was a photocopy of a SAFA Cape Town regis-tration card which shows the name SimphiweNomfulana but which Salt River Blackpool claimis the same player. The player and his club pre-sented the disciplinary committee with an identitydocument and a valid registration card. The disci-plinary committee found that the quality of thephotocopy was too poor to use as evidence.
Arendse believes that situations like this onecould be the results of fraudulent registrations.
“Our player registration system is not foolproof.We have to rely on the honesty of the players andthe club officials who register these players.
“Because the way it works is that you comewith a registration form, you come with a birth cer-tificate or an ID and you come with a photo. Howdo we know in the office that the photo that weare shown matches the ID number on the regis-tration form, and that is where the fraud is takingplace.”
Arendse added that the organisation would bespending R350 000 on a new computer systemto upgrade the registration process.
