Funding for the Strand StreetQuarry redevelopment has re-portedly been funnelled to-

wards other “priority projects”within the city.According to ward councillor

Dave Bryant in a recent ward 77committeemeeting, hehas been in-formed by council that althoughthe project is on the list of projectsin need of funding, funds were giv-en to “priority projects” such asthe Silo Precinct and Cape TownInternational Convention Centreexpansion.The funding, originally with-

drawn last year, was requestedfrom January’s adjustment budg-et, saysBryant (“More quarry cashhurdles”, People’s Post, 13 Febru-ary).The funding of R4.5m was set

aside inFebruary last yearand ten-der documentation was submittedto council’s supply chain manage-ment department during April.But by June, when the consultantteam was due to be appointed, thefunding had dried up.According to a report submitted

to the mayor last year, the fundswere all channelled to the CapeTown Stadium.The lack of funding has had a

knock-on effect on SANParks, whohas been considering using theStrand Street Quarry to accommo-date a tourism gateway to SignalHill and the Noon Gun, whichwould cater to a million visitorsevery year. The project may in-clude the installation of a funicu-lar, a cable railway which pullstram-like vehicles up the rock face,or a cable car similar to TableMountain.SANParks is currently under-

taking a technical feasibility studyand risk assessment, says PaddyGordon, SANParks operationsmanager for Table Mountain Na-tional Park.Funding for the actual upgrad-

ing of the quarrywas never consid-ered for the 2014/15 City budget,says Johan van der Merwe, City ofCape Town’s Mayoral CommitteeMember for Economic, Environ-mental and Spatial Planning.“What was under consideration

was the funding for the pre-requi-site planningwork to enable futureupgrading of the area. In the end,this too could not be accommodat-ed. While the City will be address-ing other urgent priorities in therecently approved 2014/2015 Citybudget as a whole, we would stilllike to see development happen in

this area as soon as possible be-cause of the clear opportunitiesand benefits this would present,”he says. “Funding for the pre-req-uisite planning work will again beconsidered in the next budget. Inthemeantime, the City will contin-ue to support the planning workthat the Table Mountain NationalPark is doing on Signal Hill as aninterim measure.”Bo-Kaap Civic Association

chairperson Osman Shaboodiensays residents are disappointed atthe delay in the development. Resi-dents say they are at capacity with

the security issues surround thesite. “Funding projects such as theSilo and convention centre showthe City’s priorities lie within cer-tain sectors only. The focus is onmaking a eurocentric city that ca-ters to tourists, instead of benefit-ing those who live here and localcommunities,” he says.The quarry is used as an escape

route for criminals and an upgradeis needed to secure the site, insistsAnwar Valley, chairperson of theBo-Kaap Neighbourhood Watch,Marc Truss, CEO of the Green

Point City Improvement District,

says any development would be animprovement to the “problematicarea”.“The improvement district cur-

rently carries out ad hoc cleaningand social intervention projects inthe area.“The site requires full-time ac-

tivity to maintain the area andkeep it clean and free from crimi-nal activity. We would all like tosee the City putting more moneyinto our ownareas andprojects butthere may be reasons unknown touswhich lead to the City’s decisionto invest elsewhere,” he says.

Hundreds of people forcibly removedunder the Group Areas Act are expect-ed to lodge restitution claims after

president Jacob Zuma passed the Restitu-tion of Land Right Amendment Bill on Mon-day.

The Bill prescribes changes to the Restitu-tion of Land Rights Act no 22 of 1994, andcalls for the reopening of lodgement of landclaims for a period of five years.

The new deadline for lodgement of claimsset out in the Bill is 30 June 2019.

Now that the president has signed the Billinto law, the claims process will reopen, saysRural Development and Land Reform minis-ter Gugile Nkwinti.

“The signing of the Restitution of LandRights Amendment Act now paves the wayfor South Africa’s victims of land disposses-sion to lodge their land claims, for a periodof five years to 2019,” he says.

“We have opened 14 lodgement offices andsites across the country in all nine provinc-es. These sites are equipped with advancedtechnology to ensure speedy and accuratecapture of relevant information.

“[Land claimants] will be assisted bytrained staff and every effort will be madeto ensure the process, from the submissionof a claim to the time it is settled, is a smoothone.”

District Six Working Committee chairper-son Shahied Ajam says many families didnot place claims during the original restitu-tion process as the message was not carriedacross the Cape Flats by mass media. In addi-tion, many families relocated several timesafter the forced removals.

This meant government was not able toeasily trace them and important documenta-tion was lost.

“Education is a big part of our work,”

Ajam says.Claims will be lodged through an electron-

ic system that will be managed by the Com-mission on Restitution of Land Rights andthrough claim forms that will only be availa-ble from the offices or officials of the Com-mission.

The re-opening of the lodgement of claimswill include a comprehensive communica-tion campaign aimed at ensuring that therelevant information is received by all, Nk-winti says. “To provide further assistancewith the procedure to follow in lodging aland claim, we have developed a manual inall official languages covering for distribu-tion at the lodgement offices and municipali-ty offices across the country.

“In addition to the lodgement offices; wewill deploy mobile units to go to the remoteareas of our country to ensure that we reachevery citizen who qualifies to lodge a claim.A communication campaign will also berolled out to ensure effective disseminationof information about this process to all ourpeople,” he says.

“As we re-open the lodgement period weare mindful that there are parts of our com-munity that remain excluded by this proc-ess, such as the Khoi and the San communi-ties who are not accommodated by this Res-titution of Land Rights Amendment Act of2014. Their plight is not forgotten. I want toassure them that a policy on the exceptionsto the 1913 Natives Land Act cut-off date is

being developed that seeks.”Claimants will have to provide certified

copies of their identity documents and thoseof their parents, Ajam says.

Certified copies of any physical records ofthe family’s address, such as bills or schoolreports, must also be provided.

Records can be accessed at the archives inRoeland Street or affidavits obtained fromneighbours.

When the Bill is signed into law, claimslodged by 31 December 1998 which are notyet settled and finalised shall be simultane-ously processed with the new claims to belodged, Nkasayi says.

Those lodged before 1998 will be priori-tised for settlement.

Low-cost housing demands for TamboerskloofCosatu is demanding an old army base inTamboerskloof be transferred to the nation-al human settlements department for thedevelopment of low-cost housing.

This comes after a site inspection by theCity of Cape Town’s Problem Buildings Unitresulted in the issuing of a notice of inten-tion to declare the property a ProblemBuilding being served on the property own-er.

The site is locally know as the MilitaryBase.

A substantial number of complaints sur-rounding the property have been made byresidents and business owners in the abut-ting neighbourhoods of Tamboerskloof andSchotschekloof, confirms ward councillorDave Bryant.

“The bulk of these complaints have per-tained to the informal dwellers on the land,potentially unsafe buildings, unhygienicconditions, dumping, fire risks and petty

crime emanating from the property,” hesays.

The unit found the property is in a gener-ally derelict state and that there are a varie-ty of people living on the property as wellas various farm animals.

A notice of intention to declare the prop-erty a Problem Building under the ProblemBuilding Bylaw 2010 will be served upon theresponsible person within the Departmentof Public Works. Thereafter the responsibleperson has seven days to make representa-tions as to why council should not declarethe building a Problem Building, Bryantsays.

“The investigation by the Problem Build-ings Unit is really a last resort after numer-ous attempts to try and get action from thenational Department of Public Works,” Bry-ant says.

“The issues pertaining to the property inquestion all pose a significant health and

safety risk to the local community and can-not continue to be ignored by the nationaldepartment.”

But Cosatu provincial secretary TonyEhrenreich alleges council is trying to sellthe land off to developers.

“The City has done a land audit that theyare not releasing as there would be a publicdemand that the pockets of land in wealthi-er areas be used for low-cost housing. In-stead, the City has now started a process ofselling off the pockets of land in the wealthi-er areas to wealthy developers for upmarkethousing.

“The City is now trying to get the Tambo-erskloof army base to be sold off by declar-ing it a problem area, so developers can getto purchase it,” he says.

This low-cost housing development in thecentre of the city presents an ideal opportu-nity to promote integrated human settle-ments, Ehrenreich continues.

New system’s glitches ironed outDESIREÉ RORKE

@dezzierorke

“Teething problems” with a new system im-plemented at the planning and building de-velopment offices of the City of Cape Townhave caused a backlog that has local devel-opers hot under the collar.

Not denying this, the City however is fullof praise for this new system, which was in-troduced on 1 April, saying operational“glitches” are being seen to currently andas the system becomes more refined, theprocess will become more efficient.

A People’s Post source who wishes to re-main anonymous, says his work schedulesare months behind as he awaits buildingplans to be approved.

“I am aware of this new system that hasbeen in operation since March, but sincethen we have experienced huge delays,” hesays, adding that small new regulationssuch as being able to hand in only threeplans at a time, have cost them many manhours.

But Johan van der Merwe, mayoral com-mittee member for economic, environmen-tal and spatial planning, this week thankedindustry roleplayers for their patience withthe assurance that this new system, oncefully operational, will result in substantialbenefits for applicants.

“Whenever a new system is implemented,it inevitably affects the process until thenew system stabilises. This is required inthe short-term in order to streamline theprocess in the long-term and to effectivelyimplement an improved system,” he says.

He admits there have been minimal de-lays but added most of the applications arebeing processed.

“Applicants are welcome to submit morethan three plans. However, as a measure toensure that submissions are dealt withmore speedily, applicants submitting morethan three plans are requested to submittheir plans at a different counter,” he added.

Van der Merwe describes the new Devel-opment Application Management System(DAMS) as “pioneering”.

This is an integrated system that links tothe City’s Property Value Chain and ac-counting system (SAP). It also makes provi-sion for standardised processing of develop-ment applications.

Another feature of the new system is thatapplicants can now also submit plans andapplications electronically and obtain ap-provals electronically.

“The City of Cape Town is the only metrowho has implemented such a system,” Vander Merwe says.

“The DAMS development team is work-ing very hard to ‘de-bug’ the system of anyglitches and is also looking at other initia-tives to support the operating districts toovercome any operational challenges. De-partmental staff are refining the system andspeedily addressing any glitches so that theapplicants can experience the benefits ofthis system, which is unique to the City ofCape Town.”V The public can submit any feedback or queries toEmil Schnackenberg at emil.schnackenberg@capetown.gov.za.

GREEN POINT: BMW SENDS UP SMOKE

Drifters invade stadiumNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Squealing tyres, smoking brakes andburning rubber have filled the GreenPoint Athletics Stadium parking lot.

Rehearsals for a recent BMW advert sawdrivers drifting across the parking lot. How-ever, some called for the brakes to be appliedto events using parking spaces not open tothe public.

The film, shot at the Heerengracht trafficcircle over the weekend, saw five BMWsdrifting around the circle. Prior to this werefour days of rehearsals at the P4 parking lot.

According to a notice issued by the filmcompany to residents, for stunt drivers to re-hearse and perform their drifting safely andaccurately, all the different sequences needto be practised beforehand. However, as thefilming took place on a main arterial, per-mission was only given for filming on theevent days and an alternative rehearsalspace was needed.

A permit was issued for this to take placeat the Athletics Stadium, during workhours.

This parking lot has been closed to publicwhile the construction on the stadium iscompleted (“Stall in stadium fanfare”, Peo-ple’s Post, 5 June), even on event days, saysGreen Point Ratepayers’ Association co-chairperson Luke Stevens.

“The stadium and parking can’t be usedso when there are events nearby, the publicmust park in residential side streets. Nowit turns out that the parking is open or thatit is only open when it suits the City of CapeTown. They’ve just been tearing it up, layingdown the rubber and hooning about on it inthe filming of a car commercial,” he says.

A Green Point business owner, who re-quested not to be identified, has a consultingroom several blocks away from the stadium.

However, screeching tyres were stillclearly audible.

“I understand the City wants to create a

film destination, but shoots like this are ri-diculous. For four days we’re subjected tonoise pollution. We’re trying to work here,”she fumes.

Mayoral Committee member for Commu-nity Services and Special Projects BelindaWalker says the City is initiating the exten-

sive remedial work that needs to be complet-ed before the main facility can be used.

“The athletics stadium has been handedover to the City in the interim and the sport,recreation and amenities department hasagreed to allow limited use of the parking lotuntil the facility can be opened to the public.

Local sport and recreation staff memberswill be managing access to the parking areagoing forward,” she says.

When asked on what days and times theparking will be open to the public, Walkerresponded: “These plans are still being final-ised.”

GREENMARKET SQUARE: TIME A FACTOR FOR TRADERS

New hopetaking shapefor vendorsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

For the last eight years, ClaudiaKitenge’s dayhas started bright andearly. She spends up to five hours

setting up her stall on GreenmarketSquare each morning.It takes asmuch time to pack awayhergoods and coverings before she canplacethem in storage and return home eachnight.Kitenge is one of the many traders onGreenmarket Square set to benefit froma study commissioned by the City ofCape Town.The study looks to find more innova-tive methods and designs to stimulatemore effective trading.Originally a site for trading slaves,Greenmarket Square has a long historyof produce trading. Today, a multitudeof nationalities trade and shop on thesquare.Cape Town Partnership’s AndrewPutter, who recently presented theproject to the ward 54 committee, says11 students from the Cape PeninsulaUniversity of Technology studied thestalls and the process involved in erect-ing and storing them.“The students found the stands arecomplex and consist of many compo-nents which are assembled on site. They

are kept in storage overnight and por-ters are used to bring them to the mar-ket. Setting up these stalls can take sev-eral hours,” he says.The study looks at ways to providewindbreaks, drainage and stalls that areeasier to erect, Putter explains.However, there are somany traders onthe square that consultation has beenchallenging, he adds.Lovemore Dave has been displayinghis crafted ornaments at the market for10 years. However, his stall has no cano-py, leaving his goods at the mercy of theelements.“We need covering to protect us fromthe rain and wind. Every day we haveto erect the stall again. It would be betterif therewas away to avoidhaving to takedown the stall,” he says.Kitenge looks forward to stalls whichare faster to erect. “It’s very difficult be-cause we have to do it all ourselves. Itwould be good to haveuniformstalls; thestalls would look the same on the out-side, but each stall would sell differentgoods on the inside,” she says.People’s Post enquired from theCity asto why the study was commissioned, thefindings of the study and what processwould be followed to implement thesefindings. At the time of going to print,the City had not responded to this en-quiry.

The field workers assist street people intimes of crisis and act as liaison between dif-ferent services.

They were initially funded through the al-location budgets of wards 54 and 77. Howev-er, at the end of July last year, their con-tracts came up for tender, despite the wardcouncillors understanding the servicewould be provided for a full year (“Lifelinefor fieldworkers”, People’s Post, 20 August2013).

Ward 77 councillor Dave Bryant says:“During the 2013/14 financial year therewasa problem with the rollover of their con-tracts. The fieldworkers in question havebeen employed since November 2012. TheGreen Point/Oranjekloof Central Improve-ment District (GP/OKCID) then assistedwith remuneration, uniforms and other sup-port services during this time,” he says.

However, fieldworkers will be paid by theCity of Cape Town from this month, Bryantsays.

“The City will re-appoint the fieldworkerswith funding secured for the new financialyear, starting Tuesday 1 July, in line withCity policy and procedures,” he says.

Marc Truss, the chief executive officer ofthe GP/OKCID, says the fieldworkers are anecessity when dealing with the issue ofhomelessness as well as other social prob-lems which can lead to crime.

“It is of great relief to the GP/OKCID thatthe fieldworker contracts have been re-newed by the City. They provide a vital ser-

vice to the area, which is why we have beenso adamant about their continuation andhadmade the interim plan to use discretion-ary funding to keep them going.We look for-ward to their continued service to people inneed in our areas.”

Bryant adds he hopes future funding willbe secured to take the burden off the ward’sbudget.

“Social development will soon be employ-ing a number of fieldworkers via their ownbudget to operate in homeless hotspotsacross the metro.

“I am optimistic that the Cape Town CityBowl will qualify as one of these hotspotsand that we would no longer have to useward allocation funding to pay the field-workers’ salaries.

“For theupcoming financial year,ward al-location funding has been allocated as wellas EPWP funding for the two current field-workers to continuewith their employment.If the department deems the City Bowl to bea hotspot, then we may reallocate the wardfunding currently spent on the fieldworkersto other much-needed projects in the ward,”he says.

Waterpolo stars to take on the worldLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Southern Suburbs players are set to playan integral part of theSouthAfricanun-der-19 waterpolo team which will com-

pete at the FinaMen’s YouthWorld Champi-onships next month.Players from Cape Town make up majori-

ty of the 12-man squad, with Bishops, Sacsand Reddam House all represented.The six local players are Andrew During,

Kimon Haralambous, Liam Neill (Bishops),DavidRom (ReddamHouse), JordanRumbe-low and Luke Schooling (Sacs).Brad Rowe, Swimming South Africa head

waterpolo coach, says the national coacheshave been scouting these players for twoyears.“Haralambous is one of three left-handed

players in the team – unusual in waterpolo

– which gives us an attack up the right sideof the pool,” he says.“Neill is one of the two first-choice centre

forwards, while Schooling is another left-hander. We base our defence around JordanRumbelow and the rest are good all-roundplayers; they are all the top players in thecountry.”Team selection was based on performance

at school tournaments, inter-provincialcompetitions, quarterly training camps andmonthly swim tests conducted over the lasttwo years.The process is ongoing and programme to

select the 2016 squad has just commenced.“It’s a very balanced team.KwaZulu-Natal

beatWesternProvince on penalties at the in-ter-provincial tournament, so when theymix into one team they become a lot strong-er. We also have players with nice flair fromEastern Province.”

Rowe’s side qualified for theWorld Cham-pionships after beating Zimbabwe and los-ing to Egypt in play-off matches in March.SA have been drawn in Group C of the

tournament along with Brazil, Italy, Turkeyand Russia.Egypt, the other African side at the tour-

nament, have been drawn in Group A withSpain, Hungary, USA and Kazakhstan.Rowe believes his side received the easier

draw of the two African nations.To qualify for the final 16, his charges will

need to secure enough points to finish in thetop three of the group.Rowe says it’s an achievable but difficult

goal. Should SA finish outside the top four,they will advance to the losers’ section withthe other seven sides who placed last andsecond last in the groups.The squad assembled in Durban for a five-

day training camp at the end of last month.

However, they will leave for the tourna-ment at the end of this month without play-ing any warm-up matches.Rowe believes this will hamper their

chances of reaching the next round.“We play Turkey first, which doesn’t suite

us. It would be better if we played them last,after we’ve had some match practice,” hesays.“At that stage, we wouldn’t have played a

game together. The other teams will havebeen playing warm-up matches in Europe,but we can’t because each player is payingR30 000 to go to the tournament. There isn’tanyone they can play locally, because theyare the best here.”The Fina World Men’s Youth Waterpolo

Championships will take place in Istanbul,Turkey from Saturday 2 to Sunday 10 Au-gust. The SA men’s team will depart on ei-ther Wednesday 30 or Thursday 31 July.

Badgers net trophy in DurbanTheWestern Province Cricket Club (WPCC)Badgers beat three of South Africa’s bestclubs to win the Greenfields Riverside EliteClub Challenge on Sunday.The annual tournament was hosted by

Riverside Hockey Club in Durban from Fri-day 27 to Sunday 29 June.As the country’s only national, non-uni-

versity inter-club hockey tournament, theevent attracts someof the country’s top play-ers who regularly compete on the nationaland international hockey circuit.Of the 69 players in this year’s four squads,

23 were fully capped South African interna-tionals.Gowan Jones and Matt Botha are just two

of the well-known players who participated.Apart from the eventual winners and the

hosts, the tournament also featured KwaZu-

lu-Natal’s Kearsney Hockey Club and Gau-teng’s Wanderers HC.Bagders were in devastating form

throughout the tournament, remaining un-beaten and racking up bonus points for scor-ing more than four goals per game in two oftheir three matches.The Rondebosch club finished at the top

of the table on 11 points, the hosts were sec-ond on five points, Kearsney came thirdwith three points and Wanderers finishedfourth with two points.Apart from the trophy, glory and bragging

rights, WPCC also returned home withR8000. Lloyd Norris-Jones and Wade Pattoneach bagged an additional R1000 as the tour-nament’s top goalscorer and player of thetournament – as voted by all the players inv-oled – respectively.

Local teams vie for Coke Cup gloryLIAM MOSES@LiamCPT

The battle for Cape Town’smost coveted am-ateur football title reaches a critical stagewith the Coca-Cola Cup round of 64 on Sun-day.The tournament is a highlight on the Cape

football calendar and pits the best sides fromaround the city against one another. Hun-dreds of teams fromevery local football asso-ciation (LFA) affiliated to Safa Cape Townkicked-off the tournament over two monthsago.They are now set to be trimmed to just the

32 winners from this round of matches.With almost half of the remaining 64 sen-

ior sides from the Southern Suburbs, a

strong contingent should be expected to ad-vance to the next round.In total 31 teams from the south will be in

action, representing the Mitchell’s Plain,Cape Town Tygerberg, Cape District,Manenberg, Rygate, Athlone Heideveld andSouth Peninsula LFAs.Many of those sides should be favoured to

win.National First Division (NFD) club Santos

will face off againstPhantomOrionatBonte-heuwel Sports Complex at 15:30 and shouldemerge victorious even though their firstteam players will not take the field.The same can be expected for their NFD

rivalsMilanoUnited,who should get thebet-ter of Island Rovers at Blue Downs SportsComplex at the same time.Three of Cape Town’s top ABC Motsepe

League (Safa Second Division) clubs will al-so vie to reach the next round.Glendene United will battle Rising Stars

so still in the running to take the title.Hanover Park won the tournament in

2012. They were, however, knocked out inthe quarter-finals by a youthful Milano sidelast year.Jordan Callies shocked local football fans

when they knocked out Milano in the semi-finals and went on to beat Sporting United4-3 in the final to take the spoils last year.The round of 64will seeHanover Park face

Maitland’s Saxon Rovers in Blue Downs at15:30, while Callies take on FC Mimosas atThe Greens simultaneously.The under-17 round of 64 will also take

Mocké still on a winning streakMulti-discipline paddling superstar

Jasper Mocké has added another ti-tle to his ever growing list of

achievements.The Peninsula Canoe Club member won

theWesternCapeCanoeUnion (WCCU)K1(single canoe) long-distance river champi-onships onSaturday, beating several otherbignames andBergRiverCanoeMarathoncontenders to the finish line.The race was held on the 33km section

of the Berg River between the Hermon andGouda bridges for the 41st time in icy-coldconditions.A leading bunch of seven paddlers got

away in the A-batch and consisted ofMocké, LanceKing andPeninsula stalwartGraeme Solomon, as well as Luke Stow-man, Louw and Ernest van Riet, and IvanKruger.Mocké, King and Solomon dominated to

the extent that they formed a breakawaygroup within five kilometres of the start.Stowman was in sight of the leaders.It continued this way down to Zonquas-

drift low-level bridge where it was neces-sary to portage, with King leading MockéandSolomon. Stowmanmadeup ground asthe leaders jumped out of their K1s and leg-ged it over the portage area.The quartet stayed together until the

26kmmark, where Stowman dropped off ata very narrow section, following an ex-tremely sharp right-angled turn in the infa-mous forest area of the Berg River.From this point until the end, Mocké,

King and Solomon took turns in pulling,bringing it down to the wire for a final flat-out sprint for the line at the Gouda Bridge.

Mocké crossed the line in 2:08:51, King in2:08:53 and Solomon in 2:08:54.Alex Adie, also of Peninsula, easily won

the senior women’s section of the event,leading from start to finish.Starting at the front of the B-batch, she

powered all the way to the finish line in anexcellent 19th position overall and as the

first woman home. Bianca Beavitt madea welcome return to river racing andshowed her class to finish in 2:32:15, whileRobyn Henderson was third in 2:36:37.Stowman won the under-23 division in

2:10:40 to stamphis authority on the catego-ry. Peninsula’s Dom Notten finished sec-ond in 2:16:19 to hold-off a charging Ant

Lake of UCT, who was third in 2:45:26.The junior division (under-18 and under-

16) saw anew face on the river. Peninsula’sMark Keeling dominated to finish 24thoverall with a time of 2:32:06.Marco Marsch was second in 2:40:07 and

Theo Moses finished in third place with atime of 2:24:26.

Hammies continue derby dominanceLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Hamiltons stormed to a heavy victoryagainst Villagers in the 139th edition ofSouth Africa oldest club rugby derby inClaremont on Saturday.The clubs were founded in 1875 and 1876

respectively, and clash in one of the Cape’sbiggest rugby matches each year.As expected, the fixture was physical and

intense from the firstwhistlewithboth sideseager to get one over their arch rivals atBrookside.The Sea Point side has won the last nine

derbys– and continued their winning runover the counterparts on Saturday.Villagers edged Hammies the possession

and territory stakes for most of the firstquarter, but lacked the invention and powerneeded to make any real headway.They wasted an opportunity to open the

scores in the 10th minute, when flyhalf Dan-iel Clarke missed a penalty. The tide beganto turn soon after.Hammies pace, power, dynamism and di-

rectness soon lead them to the opposition 22and, after several minutes of relentless at-tack, flank Nieuwoudt Gresse crossed overclose to the left touchline in the 20thminute.Janno van Zyl missed the conversion at-

tempt but made up for it soon after.Van Zyl burst down the right wing in the

30th minute and was stopped centimetresfromthe try-line, but flung theball to outsidecentre JandreduPlessis to gather and touch-down.Van Zyl converted to take Hammies to a

12-0 lead.They resumed their dominancewhen play

resumed and were back in the red zone justfive minutes later, creating space for flyhalfMonty Dumond to jog over for the third try.Van Zyl’s successful conversion elevated

the score to 19-0.

Hammies scored their fourth try just be-fore half-time, when lock Tian Fick brokethe line, leapt over the last defender’s tackle,tumbled to the ground and popped a pass tosupporting fullback Pierre Cronje, whocrossed untouched.Villagers showed bags of tenacity to claim

a healthy share of territory and possessionin the first 10 minutes of the second half, butwere again forced to resort to kicking whenconfronted by the staunch Hammies de-fence.The visitors fifth try came directly from

one of these kicks in the 11th minute, withDumond finishing off a sublime 40m coun-ter-attack before Van Zyl goaled the conver-sion.Villagers looked dead and buried but re-

fused to give up.The hosts scored their first points of the

game in the 55th minute, when hooker Scot-ty Pitcher crossed in an overlap on the right

wing.However, the fight-back started and ended

there as Clarke could not convert and threemore tries were scored against them in theremaining minutes.Hammies left wing Craig Pheiffer showed

abundant pace to beat the cover defence andscore in the 29th minute.Dumond converted the score, then scored

another try fiveminutes later – racing to thetry-line after he was put through a gap – andconverted his own try to hand Hammies a40-point lead with six minutes remaining.Hammies eighth and final try came in the

79th minute, when Gresse stepped throughthe exhaustedDirtyWhites defence to touch-down.Replacement centre Morgan Newman

converted the try with a drop goal – to savetime – and the final whistle sounded withHammies leading 52-5, but still chasing an-other try.
