MONIQUE DUVAL@monique_duval

A new plan to tackle vagrancy at theWynberg Civic Centre is on the cards.The City of Cape Town has announced

their plans to fence up the area in the newyear.This follows complaints by the neighbour-

hood watch and police about illegal activi-ties taking place at the centre at night.Abieda Joseph of theWynbergEastNeigh-

bourhoodWatch says the location of the cen-tre and the lack of lighting in the area cre-ates the perfect environment for criminals.“Many of them are drug users and during

our patrols we see many of them going toknown drug locations in the area,” she says.She claims cars who park at the centre in

the early hours of the morning are “up to nogood” as scantily-clad women are seen get-

ting out and fixing their clothes beforewalk-ing off.“Iwitnessed this a fewnights ago and from

what I saw it could only be prostitution,”says Joseph.A vagrant at the centre who asked not to

be named says no illegal activities take placeat the centre. He says during the wintermonthsmanyof themseek refuge at theBon-nytoun informal settlement.“I sell glue at the station during the day

and come to sleep here at night. There aresome dodgy characters who also come tosleep here,” he says.While he admits to using drugs, he says

he smokesatWynberg stationbefore comingto the centre.“The LawEnforcement officers come here

almost every night. They pick up our blan-kets and tell us to go sleep somewhere else.Imagine if they come and I have my drugs

on me,” he says.Richard Bosman, the City’s director for

Safety and Security, says Law Enforcementand the Displaced Persons Unit (DPU) haveconductednumerous operations atWynbergCivic Centre.Bosman explains officers have offered to

relocate the vagrants to nearby shelters, butthey refused.“We receive, on average, three complaints

a week about vagrants at the centre,” hesays.Wynberg sector commander Warrant Of-

ficer Silvino Davids confirms arrests fordrug possession have been made and saysthe area is problematic for police.“A few months ago we arrested one of the

vagrants at the civic centre for robbing aKe-nilworth woman. They don’t only go thereto sleep; they smoke drugs, among otherthings,” he says.

Joseph believes this adds to crime in thearea and says she has continually raised herconcerns with ward councillor Monty Oliv-er.She says residents were promised in July

the area would be fenced up, but to date theyreceived no further communication fromthe City.Oliver says he has received numerous

complaints about noisy andunruly vagrantsat the centre. “Law Enforcement and Wyn-berg police have been there countless timesto address the situation, but the vagrantskeep coming back,” he says.Oliver explains R220 000 from the

2014/2015 ward allocation budget has beenset aside to erect a fence around the centre.“Fencing off civic centres is not normally

done by the City.“However, in this case, we hope doing so

will alleviate the problem,” he says.

Give your kite ambitionudding kiters are invited toshow off their kite-making abili-ties in thePeople’s PostHeritageKite Competition on Sunday 3November.

Themed New Horizons – Be-yond 100 Years, this is the 19thCape Town International KiteFestival, Africa’s biggest kitefestival.People’s Post is the print me-

dia partner of the kite festival.The Heritage Kite Award will

go to the best traditional CapeSwaeltjie or Swallow kites.

Entries need to be hand-craft-ed, locally-made, South Africankites.

There are cash prizes to bewon and it is an opportunity forlocal enthusiasts to meet and flywith kite-makers from aroundthe world.

Rifead Sambo of Athlone wasthe 2012 winner with his CapeMental Health-themed kitemade with bamboo, thread andtissue paper.

Kite-making is a Sambo fami-ly tradition. Rifead was taughtby his father, master kite-makerEbrahim Sambo who, in turn,had learnt from his own father.

As is the case with many con-temporary Cape Town kite-makers, this particular style ofkite harks back to the slaves andimmigrants from South EastAsia who came to the Cape cen-turies ago.

South African kiter GregMountjoy was first to make theconnection between theSwaeltjie kites he saw at the an-nual Cape Town InternationalKite Festival and traditionalkites he had seen in Indonesiaand Malaysia.

“When I spoke to the kiters

they had all been taught how tomake their kites by family mem-bers. Worldwide, kite-making isoften a skill passed downthrough generations – it’s histo-ry in the air,” Mountjoy said.

This historical aspect ties inbeautifully with the kite festi-val’s theme which celebratesthe centenary of the festival’sorganisers and beneficiary –Cape Mental Health.

Every participant will be giv-en a certificate and cash prizesare up for grabs: R500 for first,R300 for second and R200 forthird.

The overall winner will alsoreceive the People’s Post Herit-age Kite Award floating trophy.There is no cost to participate inthe competition.

Entry for the kite festival isR20 for adults and R10 for chil-dren aged between two and 12years.

Register beforehand and judg-ing will take place in the mainarena from 13:00 on Sunday 3November.

People who would like tolearn this historic kite-makingtechnique can attend theSwaeltjie kite-making work-shops being held on both days.The workshops are free and do-nations are welcome.

The kite festival is hosted andmanaged by Cape MentalHealth and all profits go directlyto support the organisation’sfree mental health services forpeople in resource-poor commu-nities.V For further details or to download anentry form from www.capementalhealth.co.za/kite or contact DerickHouston on (021) 447 9040 or in[email protected].

SPANKING: STILL A GOOD IDEA?

To spare the rod...NADINE MOODIE

Should children be spanked or not? Theissue has brought civil society and thenational social development depart-

ment to the discussion table.At issue is whether it should be illegal for

parents to spank their children.This controversial discussion point has

raised questions among parents, religiousgroups and organisations.

Spokesperson for the Department of So-cial Development Lumka Oliphant says nobill has been drafted.

“This has just been a discussion docu-ment between organisations advocatingchildren’s rights, the University of Pretoriaand the department,” Oliphant says.

“We need to protect our children and alsoadvise parents on how to discipline chil-dren. We don’t know where this discussiondocument will go (or) if it will become adraft bill and take the legal route.”

Parents themselves raise salient pointson the matter.

All about disciplineParent Ebrahim Davids says at times chil-

dren need a hiding to give them a warning,because that’s how they become obedient.

A parent, who wishes to remain anony-mous, says the government can’t take awayparental rights to discipline their children.

“What will happen when governmenttakes away our rights to discipline our ownchildren?” she asks. “Times have changedso much and discipline has left our society,because parents can no longer reprimandneighbours’ children.”

A first-time mother, who wants to remainunnamed, says she always knew she’d haveto discipline her children with a hiding.

“Parents should not give up their rightsto discipline children; what will happenwhen these children grow older and are dis-respectful? Schools already have no disci-pline. We can’t afford to lose discipline in

our homes, too,” she fumes.

Parental rights lostErrol Naidoo, CEO of the Family Policy

Institute, says his organisation opposes thenotion, because government does not havethe right to tell parents how to raise theirchildren.

“There’s a big difference between abuseand child discipline, and we need more dis-cipline in schools and in our country,” hesays.

“Spanking a child will not harm them; it’sa corrective measure, while hitting to abuseis not discipline. Family is the most impor-tant unit in society and we need to strength-en it. At the moment we have an ill-disci-plined government telling families how toraise children. No government has the rightto do so.”

Sheikh Riad Fataar agrees, saying no gov-ernment has the right to take away parents’rights to discipline a child.

“Islam allows parents to discipline chil-dren with a light beating, which constitutesas discipline. If you hit your child in a man-ner which breaks bones and causes blood toflow, then it’s abuse. The character andmorals of society is going down because ofa lack of discipline,” he says.

‘Not a quick fix’But Patric Solomons, director of chil-

dren’s rights organisation Molo Songololo,says corporal punishment should be abol-ished because parents have carte blancheand often exercise forms of discipline whichconstitutes physical and emotional abuse.

“Throwing objects at children is a formof physical abuse. Forcing them to stand indark corners is a cruel form of emotionalpunishment; and we need to look at waysof reducing it,” he says.

“We’ve managed to abolish abuse be-tween adults. Why can’t we do the same forchildren? We need a combination of supportfor children and parents who need to learn

to cope. Parents often say: ‘I got beaten andlook at how I turned out?’ Discipline doesnot instill values, good behaviour, under-standing and consequences.”

Solomons says parents need to set posi-tive values and a framework for children,because teenagers start acting violent whenthey see their parents failing to practicewhat they preach.

“Parents have a false sense of obedienceand try to silence children by using acts ofviolence, which is a quick fix and doesn’tguarantee the child won’t do it again. Thesolution is for children to learn respectthrough observation and to extend the re-course from women to children. Theyshould also be able to lay a complaint whicha court should investigate to ensure properjustice is served,” he says.

Different strokesVenecia Barries, director of The Parent

Centre, says her organisation does notagree with physical punishment. Childrenneed discipline, love and boundaries, shesays.

“Parents need to institute pro-activemeasures when disciplining their children,such as moving things which could breakout of a toddler’s way and creating conse-quences like taking away older children’scellphones. Different corrective measureswork for different children,” she says.

Barries says many children are raisedwithout their parents inflicting pain. “Par-ents are relying on physical punishment be-cause it’s their natural instinct.”

She says children will test the limits andparents need to set boundaries.

“We need to rewrite the already violenthistory in South Africa by developing a newhistory. This can be done by training par-ents to be assertive and by understandingchildren.”V Do you spank your child as a form of discipline?Is it effective?

PLUMSTEAD: DANGEROUS INTERSECTION

Speedstersirk residentsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

The sound of speeding cars and screech-ing tyres are becoming a common oc-currence as motorists brazenly ignore

the speed limits and stop streets inWoodgate Road.

Plumstead residents have raised con-cerns about the situation following thedeaths of their pets and near-accidents.

Resident Wendy Dalton says last weekshe noticed her neighbour’s dead cat on thepavement and believes speeding in the areais out of control.

Dalton, who has lived in the area for 10years, says she has slowly watched speed-ing in the area steadily increase over thepast few years.

“Pulling into my driveway has become adangerous daily task as motorists don’tslow down when they see me turning,” shesays.

She says the speed limit of 60km/h is ig-nored by motorists and very few stop at stopstreets.

Dalton believes the speed limit should bereduced to 40km/h to avoid the “loss of lifeand limb”.

“It is a miracle nobody has been seriouslyhurt. There have been several accidentsand we fear for the children using thisroad,” she says.

Resident Keith Vlotman says the inter-section of Basil and Woodgate roads is themost dangerous.

He says he has seen many accidents overthe years and believes the stop streets arenot effective in slowing motorists.

“At night it’s especially bad as we canhear speeding cars fly through WoodgateRoad without stopping. This is dangerousand shows the cars do not stop at stopstreets,” he says.

City Mayoral Committee member forTransport Brett Herron says a request fortraffic calming measures in the area madein 2007 will be revisited. This request, hesays, was assessed using the 2008 TrafficCalming Policy.

Herron says the policy considers nine dif-ferent criteria before deciding whether ornot a road is suitable for speed bumps.

“In the case of Woodgate Road, the overallpotential for accidents was assessed to beat a level that does not demand interventionwith physical traffic calming measures,” hesays.

Herron says the City is considering pro-posals to lower the general speed limit inresidential areas to 40km/h, but says todate no decision has been made.

“Various criteria are applied when set-ting the speed limits on arterial roads, butconsideration of a general limit for residen-tial streets would be around the creation ofa liveable space for residents in which vehi-cle speeds do not intimidate pedestrians,”he says.

Herron adds the ability to enforce thelower speed limit will be an important con-sideration.

Davids explains the fingerprints found

on the window of the Kenilworth homeshowed the identity of the man who waswanted by Lansdowne Police in a separatecase.

“The detective distributed the photo-graph among police officers and was toldthe man was arrested earlier that day forthe possession of drugs,” he says.

Davids says after searching the itemsfound on the man at the time of his arrest,the detective recovered the domesticworker’s cellphone stolen in Kenilworth.

“He was later linked to other burglariesin Wynberg and appeared in the WynbergMagistrate’s Court on five charges ofhouse robbery, house break-in and theft.”

The case has been postponed to Novem-ber.

UPGRADE: ACCESS CONTROL

New plan for parkMONIQUE DUVAL

#@monique_duval

Crime and grime in BattsRoad Park will soon be athing of the past as the

R200 000 upgrade of the areahas commenced.

The upgrade started withthe erection of a fence aroundthe park last week to controlaccess to the park at night.

Wynberg residents whoraised concerns about crimi-nal activity and illegal soccermatches in the park are excit-ed about the changes.

Resident Helen Walbrughsays she is excited about thedevelopments of the park.

“We are glad the gate will belocked at night and believethis will help curb illegal ac-tivities. The residents are happy about thechanges and we hope our children will beable to enjoy using the park,” she says.

Neighbourhood watch members whospent many nights chasing men and womenout of the park are now relieved the areais being fenced up.

The fence will serve as a barrier to keepcriminals and prostitutes out of the park atnight.

The fence is being erected by the City ofCape Town and residents will be responsi-ble for opening and locking the park daily.

Ward councillor Monty Oliver has li-aised with interested residents.

City Mayco member for CommunityServices and Special Projects BelindaWalker says there will be three pedestriangates. The first gate will be in Batts Roadnear the footpath, one near the corner of

Bristol and Batts roads, and another pedes-trian gate and a double vehicle entrancefacing Bruyns Road.

“The vehicular gate will be for depart-mental use only and will be kept locked,”she says.

Walker explains the rules from the City’sparks department states all parks should beoperational between 07:00 and 19:00 duringsummer.

The upgrade will also see the installationof outdoor gym equipment, two bins andtwo benches in Batts Road Park.

Walker says the aim of the upgrade is tonot only provide access control to the park,but to introduce the community to alterna-tive recreational equipment.

Erection of the fence is set to be complet-ed this week while the entire upgrade is ex-pected to be completed by December.

Today is the International Day for the Eradication ofPoverty.The day has been observed annually since 1993 by

the United Nations General Assembly.And as these things go, there is always a theme. This

year it is Working together towards a world withoutdiscrimination: Building on the experience and knowl-edge of people in extreme poverty.One wonders how this mouthful will, in fact, eradi-

cate poverty, feed the hungry, secure jobs for the un-employed, get medicine to the sick and dying, and suc-cessfully get children through education systems.There is a worldwide need to eliminate poverty alto-

gether and address its evil twin: unemployment.There is a cruelty to the cycle that ensures therewill

always be poor people. It is sad that they are not justpoor in spirit, but also in hope.UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon says: “If we are

to realise the future we want for all, we must hear andheed the calls of the marginalised… Together, we canbuild a sustainable world of prosperity and peace, jus-tice and equity – a life of dignity for all.”Noble sentiments.It could even work, if all people with the collective

will would make it so.The day is set aside to “promote awareness of the

need to eradicate poverty and destitution in all coun-tries”.Perhaps now, 20 years later, all nations will work

together in the ethos of the theme to step up and becommitted to fighting poverty.A start is to redress perceptions of Africa as a beg-

ging bowl, Asia as a cheap form of labour fit for exploi-tation or South America as the route of drug trade.There are exceptions, of course.One small step formankindwould be to see each oth-

er as humans, equal in every way.Perhaps then some markets will finally “emerge”.

Criticism of park complaints misdirectedI live in a property which has been ownedbymy family since 1952 which is in the areaBrian Hoare of Plumstead refers to (“Park:where else could children play?”, PeoplesPost, 10 October).This area of Wynberg was one of the only

areas not affected by the cruel Group AreasAct. Over the past 15 years or so I have seenthe steady degradation of a once lovely sub-urb.The harsh reality is that our area has be-

come overpopulated due to the influx of ref-ugees and economic migrants.They rent every available space and can

only afford to pay the rent by cramming intothese residences like sardines. They do nottake ownership of the area like ratepayingresidents and just litter indiscriminately.They live in absolutely appalling unhygien-ic conditions. I suppose playing soccer is

one way of venting the frustrations they arefaced with.Hoare, these soccer players have dis-

placed the children who are meant to playin the park.I cannot take my grandson to the park to

push him in a swing. Prostitutes use thepark. Drug addicts and drunkards frequentthe park.People defecate, break bottles and litter

the park.School kids can be seen taking drugs in

the far corner of the park.Thememorial plaqueofHenryBatts,who,

incidentally, founded the Plumstead Vil-lage, has been vandalised. Before I am ac-cused of being xenophobic, I have taken in-terest in the affairs of a Tanzanian nationalfor the past 16 years and he now runs a sec-tion of my business.

To Hoare, I say your criticism is misdi-rected. You should rather criticise the ab-sentee landlords for allowing this untenablesituation to prevail and the authorities fornot policing it and for not protecting therights of ratepaying citizens.HelenWalbrugh, I salute you for choosing

to make a difference by walking from doorto door lobbying support.Hoare, before you ciriticise, please get

your facts straight.Why must elderly residents be responsi-

ble for cleaning up a council area and it isnormal for a woman to feel intimidatedwhen confronted by 20 men.Maybe you relish the idea of 20 muscular

men running up and down the boundary ofyour property.

Batts Road Park: a change of heart and mindAfter talking to someone who lives nearerto the park than I do I realised I was labour-ing under amisapprehension (“Park: whereelse could children play?”, People’s Post, 10October).The people playing soccer aren’t local and

are in the country illegally. If this is the casewhy aren’t they arrested and deported?Have the (police) been told by their superi-ors not to do so or is there something moresinister?I am sure the law about not urinating in

public is still on the books (and) threateningis also still a crime, so why haven’t theybeen charged?

It seems as if the police turn a blind eyetowards all kinds of illegal activity fromtrespassing (like those living behind theLuxurama) to all the illegal shanties beingbuilt on private and public property.While we had the influx control laws

(which most countries have in one form oranother) we didn’t have to deal with this hu-man detritus.Unfortunately the ANC passed laws pro-

tecting these people and now they (who payno taxes) have been given the upper handand the taxpayers have to lump it or findthemselves having to answer to the policethemselves.

Perhaps citizens have to do like the resi-dents of Khayelitsha did and enforce the lawthemselves when the police fail to do so.When the authorities and the justice systemfail a community that community has aright and an obligation to enforce the lawthemselves.We can’t allow our communities to be tak-

en over by criminals.Unfortunately more often than not the

news media are the champions of these peo-ple because they see themas victims andnotat law breakers.

FEE: CHANGE IN STRUCTURE

A new planfor poor schoolsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Pupils attending school in lower in-come areasmay soon receive a free ed-ucation.

More than 200 impoverished schoolsacross the province have been offered theopportunity to apply to become a no-feeschool from next year.Themove is expected to significantly alle-

viate the funding challenges of facilitiesserving poorer communities and will re-duce the burden of trying to obtain and col-lect school fees.Every year, thousands of parents at fee

paying public schools either fail to paytheir school fees or have to apply for fee ex-emption, provincial education ministerDonald Grant explains.“The reality is that we are living in tough

economic times, and in this kind of climate,many parents simply cannot afford to paytheir school fees. This ultimately affectssome schools’ income and places a burdenon the schoolmanagement to find the fundsnecessary to pay for services, equipmentand materials.”Despite initiatives such as financial com-

pensation, the department continues to re-ceive numerous pleas from schools regard-ing the nationally prescribed quintile sys-tem, Grant says.All public schools are categorised into

five groups, called quintiles, largely forpurposes of the allocation of financial re-sources. Quintile one is the poorest quin-tile, while quintile five is the least poor.These poverty rankings are determined

nationally according to the poverty of thecommunity around the school as well ascertain infrastructural factors.Many schools believe they have been

ranked inappropriately and have asked fortheir quintile status to be changed.Amanda Engelbrecht, principal of Senti-

nel Primary School, agrees with the initia-tive, but cautions that non-payment is opento abuse.Sentinel Primary is ranked quintile

three, whichmeans pupils are exempt frompaying school fees.Engelbrecht says while many parents

cannot afford school fees there is a smallpercentage who take advantage of the sys-tem.“Many of them can afford the fees, but

due to lack of financial planning they fallshort. I applaud the department formakingeducation free to children who cannot af-ford it, but there are parents who abuse thesystem,” she says.Since the school is in quintile three the

burden of collecting school fees is liftedfrom Sentinel Primary’s management.“In our communitywe find grandparents

using their pensions to raise their grand-children. The exemption of school fees isaimed at helping such people,” she says.Education minister Angie Motshekga

last month announced the department wasplanning to do away with the quintile sys-tem in favour of a two-category system.Until the changes to the current quintile

system become a reality, schools that cur-rently charge annual school fees of R400 orless may apply to become no-fee schools.The implementation of this plan will cost

the department R19m for the remainder ofthe current financial year and R46m in2014/2015.The identified schools have to apply in

writing for this status.The department will consider offering

more schools this opportunity in future asfunds become available.

Surfing development and transforma-tion is set to receive a boost when thesixth annual BOS Earthwave Beach

Festival takes place this weekend.The festival will feature several water-

sport competitions, lifestyle events and en-tertainment. People’s Post is the print me-dia sponsor of the event.

However, the most important event couldbe the Muizenberg Outreach Surfing Chal-lenge, which will see four different pro-grammes battle it out in the waves at Mui-zenberg Beach.

Event organiser Paul Botha says hehopes the event will offer the programmesa helping hand.

“We want to involve the kids in the festi-val. As the programmes are doing a greatjob, we want to give them something for theguys to strive towards,” Botha says.

“This is part and parcel of what we wantat the festival; we want to make it an inclu-sive festival. We have formalised it so thatthe organisations have their own event andthey can win prizes.”

The organisations which will participatein the Challenge are Isiqalo, the Surf ShackOutreach Programme, the MuizenbergBeach Club and Dreams to Reality.

All four organisations aim to assistyouths from disadvantaged communitiesthrough surfing. The tournament will fea-ture two teams from each organisationcompeting in two heats of four teams each.Four teams will then advance to two hour-long semi-finals and the competition willclimax in a hour-long final. The event issponsored and supported by Surfing SouthAfrica (SSA).

SSA general manager Robin de Kock saysthe event fits in with SSA’s goal of trans-forming the sport. “Those organisations in-volved in the Challenge are all doing a goodjob, trying to introduce young surfers fromdisadvantaged backgrounds into thesport,” De Kock says.

“Our job is to support outreach organisa-tions involved in the sport.”

De Kock adds transforming the sport isone of organisation’s key goals.

“Its always been a focus; we have been in-volved with those programmes for sometime now. It’s something that we see as ben-efiting surfing. We want to transform thesport and introduce children from margin-alised and disadvantaged backgrounds.”

Earthwave will also see several schoolteams head to Muizenberg for the WesternCape Inter-schools Surfing Tournament.

The 12 participating schools will go head-to-head in hopes of bagging some of theR10 000 in prizes.

“This year we have invited schools fromBoland to join us as well,” Botha says.

Each team will have five members.The festival will also feature skateboard-

ing and stand-up paddling competitionsand an attempt to break the Guiness WorldRecord for the most surfers riding a singlewave.

Callies zoom inon promotionLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

JordanCallies has shifted focus on secur-ing promotion after winning the Coca-Cola Cup on Saturday.

Callies qualified for the Safa SABRegion-al League promotional play-offs after win-ning the Rygate Local Football Association(LFA) Super League earlier this year.

Coach Anthony Barnes is confident hisside canmake it into the fourth tier of SouthAfrican football after the Coke Cup victory.

“We are already there; that’s how confi-dent I am,” he says.

“We have already beaten Safa Second Di-vision and SAB League teams in the CokeCup this year.”

Callies knocked out several semi-profes-sional sides on their way to the final, in-cluding the Salt River Blackpool and Mi-lano United Second Division teams.

Callies were also losing finalists in theRygate LFA Knockout Tournament thisyear. Barnes says the team is one step awayfrom making it a perfect season. “Weachieved our objectives. I said we wouldwin the league and the Coke Cup, and thenext one is the SAB League play-offs,” hesays.

Barnes may be confident, but his playerswill need to improve in several areas if theyare to continue their climb up the profes-sional football ladder.

Callies started the Coke Cup final withverve and intensity and raced to a 3-0 leadwithin 30 minutes.

Reagon Brander stole the lead after justtwo minutes, Shafiek Mally doubled thescore just five minutes later and KashiefAlba made it 3-0 in the 25th minute.

But instead of knocking the wind out ofSporting United, the third goal caused Cal-lies to slack off and lose concentration.

Ebrahim Davids pulled a goal back forSporting late in the second half and strucktwice more in the 30th and 35th minutes tolevel the scores.

The equaliser forced Callies to wake up,as they reclaimed the lead through the bootof Showen Sturein in the dying minutes ofthe game.

Barnes was happy with the performancedespite the poor defensive display.

“At the end of the day it was about whowanted it more and we were hungrier. Theguys performed well,” he says.

“The plan was to secure the game in thefirst 15 minutes through all-out attack, butwe are not used to playing on a field thisheavy. They are used to playing on a hardsurface, so they had a lot of cramps.”

Jordan Callies will face off against theleague winners from the other LFA’s affili-ated to Safa Cape Town in the promotionplay-offs.

The date of the play-offs have not beenconfirmed.
