Healing onthe wild sideLILLIAN AMOS

WILD animals in thesouthern suburbs willin future be treated at a

R4,6 million medical facility.

In a first for the City, a short-termWildlife Care Facility opened at theGrassy Park SPCA last Wednesday.

Construction on the facility start-ed last September with primaryfunding from the national lotteryand R600 000 from the SPCA.

The facility will provide emer-gency treatment to a range of in-jured, sick and errant wild animals.

SPCA CEO Allan Perrins says thewildlife unit “serves a critical rolein responding to reports of dis-placed, injured and sick wildlifeand investigates reports of crueltyto wild animals.

However, until now our ability toprovide optimal care and treatmentto the myriad of mammals, birds,reptiles and fish rescued each year,has been limited by the lack of spe-cialist facilities to properly houseand care for them.”

The need for such a facility wasidentified in 2000 when the SPCAfirst started responding to wildlifeemergencies.

SPCA Wildlife Unit supervisorBrett Glasby says: “The facility hasbeendesignedandmasterfully builtto enable us to simultaneously carefor different types of wild animalsthat require short-term treatmentand care before being released backinto the wild or, where appropriate,transferred to a long-term rehabili-tation centre.”

He says displaced animals need asafe, warm and quiet place to recov-er before being released back intothe wild.

“For those with injuries, such asburns or wounds, or those that areemaciated and dehydrated, we nowhave facilities to provide specialisttreatment and care.”

The facility will be operated to“internationally recognised stand-ards” and will play a big role in pro-tecting and conserving wildlife.

During the last fiscal year (April2010 to March 2011) the SPCA Wild-life Unit responded to 230 wildliferescues involving more than 1 000animals.

The team investigated nearly 200wildlife cruelty cases and was in-volved in over 450 human/wildlifeconflict issues.

The unit also undertook inspec-tions of 14 captive wildlife facilities.

They expect these numbers to in-crease. Although construction iscomplete, the cost of running the fa-cility is budgeted at just underR1 million a year. The SPCA is look-ing to individuals, foundations,trusts and corporate donors to sup-port the initiative.

More information can be ob-tained at www.spca-ct.co.za or visitthem on the corner of First Avenueand First Road, Grassy Park.

My mother, my heroDear reader,

I dedicate this column to mymother who has been livingwith breast cancer for morethan two years.

I’ll never forget the day mymom’s doctor diagnosed hercancer and her response aftercrying. She said: “I will have tolive with this”, unlike mostpeople who express fear of dy-ing at such news.

With these words, my moth-er had inadvertently created amessage of hope for herself. Re-markably, she has kept thishope alive, without invasivetreatments which our familyinitially insisted on and retali-ated angrily to when she per-sistently refused to even con-sider the best known conven-tional treatment available.

Ultimately though, we had torespect my mother’s right tolive her life and manage her ill-ness as she chooses.

Faced with the headstrong,determined matriarch that ismy mother, our family fullysupported her decision andtried everything we could tostrengthen her immune sys-tem and give her a fightingchance.

Among the many things wehave tried are apricot kernels,vitamins, bitter herbs, oliveleaf honey, massage, oils, holywater, prayer, dark chocolateand green juice.

These have brought some re-lief, but I am constantlyamazed at how my motherlives with herpain. She sel-dom takes pain-killers and evennow, after a fewteaspoons ofmorphine, shehas lowered herdose.

Throughouther illness, mymother has re-mained her usu-al talkative, au-thoritative,smart, wickedlyfunny self. Despite becomingvery frail and thin, she has re-tained her ability to walk andsit while eating her meals, andhave a puff or two. Who’scounting?

A woman of remarkablefaith, willpower and resil-ience, my mother is an inspira-tion to her six children andmany who know her.

My father would differ some-what, as it has become his des-tiny to take care of this strong,wilful woman and their threecats and two birds.

His best culinary efforts areoften criticisedbyherand feed-back to visitors is that he doesnot provide her with the bal-

anced diet she re-quires.

My siblingsand I take thiswith a ton of saltas we know howmuch effort myfather puts intomy mother’smeals; in fact,everything hedoes for her.

To keep thepeace, we hu-mour my motherin her diatribe

against my father, and then tellhim in private we know thetruth. If my mother were toread this, I’d be in trouble.

In the past few months, mymother’s health has deteriorat-ed rapidly and physically shehas become a shell of herformer self, but her mind is asastute as ever and I still turnto her for guidance on matters

finance, career and personal.I do my best to visit her

throughout the week, but Sun-days are our days when wetalk, feel sad, reminisce andlaugh at our silly comments,especially my mom’s gossipabout my dad.

What I love most about myinteraction with my mother isher brilliant sense of humourand ability to appreciate a goodjoke – not mine though, as I’mnotoriously unfunny.

I cannot believe when look-ing at my mother’s beautifulsmiling face that she is riddledwith pain; it is only when I fo-cus on how thin and fragile herwrists and limbs are, that thereality of her illness sinks in.

My mother’s journey hasbeen painful, traumatic andterrifying and I am humbled byher strength and grace.

She will always be my hero-ine and I thank God for everymoment I still have with her.

Cameras make difference in crime preventionLILLIAN AMOS

More than R500 000 was raisedto make several southern sub-urbs areas safer. The funds wereraised through the joint effortsof the Bergvliet, Kruepelbosch,Meadowridge (BKM) Neighbour-hood Watch, residents and busi-nesses, to buy high-tech camer-as.

The camera points, each with anoverview camera and licence platerecognition, have been installed inthe BKM area to help curb criminalactivity.

Neighbouring Constantia Watchstarted the camera project threeyears ago, and have since been in-strumental in assisting the policewith crime prevention.

Since the installation, several ar-rests have already been made. Con-stantia Watch chairperson MikeVoortman says the cameras have“definitely assisted in containingcrime”. “They have helped withprevention, follow-ups, helping po-lice with evidence and much more.”

Rob Kaye, chairperson for BKMWatch, says the cameras act as anearly warning system.

When a suspicious-looking car –which is known to be involved inprevious criminal activity or sus-pected of having criminal intent –enters the designated area, thenumber plate is picked up by thecameras.

An email or SMS is sent to theneighbourhood watch, securitycompanies and the police.

The BKM Watch is however inneed of R75 000 to complete the ini-

tial project installations. “Safety isa shared responsibility,” saysKaye,“and, therefore, we ask residentswho have not yet contributed, tohelp us make their area safer.”

BKM Watch, together with theother 7 Neighbourhood Watches inthe Valley, plans to employ staff tomonitor the control room aroundthe clock.

They are looking at companies tosponsor salaries each month. TheConstantia Watch has an all-hourmonitoring system, sponsored by aCCTV monitoring company. “Thecameras help a great deal and wewould like to roll it out to the broad-er community, so sponsorships arealways welcome,” says Voortman.

Warrant Officer Clive Muller,spokesperson for Diep River police,applauded the camera system. “Thecameras are making a significantdifference and have helped in sever-al cases.

Two weeks ago it helped with aninvestigation in which a womanwas followed from Constantia Vil-lage and robbed.

The camera picked up the regis-tration number of the car which fol-lowed the woman. We can build astrong case.”

Muller encourages residents whoare unable to assist the neighbour-hood watches, to contribute to theinstallation of more cameras.

“Not everybody has time to pa-trol, but you can invest in the safetyof the neighbourhood.”

From doing crime to reading timeSUMMER JACOBS

BOOKISH inmates will havenew books to sniff out.

This comes after a donation ofinspirational books to the Polls-moor prison, in Tokai.

The books were donated byStruik Christian Media to HopePrison Ministry, which, in turn,gave the books to the prison.

The ministry, which worksclosely with Pollsmoor, handedover five boxes filled with inspi-rational booklets and pamphletson Thursday.

Hope Prison Ministry director,the Reverend Jonathan Clayton,explains that the books will beused as incentives to those al-ready belonging to the ministry’sprogrammes.

Clayton says the books are giv-en as an incentive to “former of-fenders and offenders participat-ing in our group sessions insidethe prison”.

“Correctional officers will alsoreceive some of the inspirationalbooklets because their job can getquite daunting”.

Struik Christian Media mar-keting manager Adrian Kaplansays each book has a positivemessage. “There are booklets andpamphlets of all shapes and sizes.Some of the reading material aredaily devotions providing posi-tive messages”.

Clayton, himself a formerPolls-moor inmate, believes the bookswill help the ministry’s missionto equip inmates with the atti-

tude and skills needed for re-inte-gration into the community upontheir release.

Prisoners with below-par liter-acy will not be left in the dark.“One inmate who is able to readwell will share what he has readwith the other inmates. It mightnot be done word for word, but hewill summarise it. This is oneway that positive things get dis-cussed instead of past mistakes.”

The ministry has over 150workers offering services, suchas counselling, rehabilitativeskills and life skills. It is jointlydirected by Clayton’s wife, Jen-ny. Clayton explains the ministrywas actually Jenny’s initiativewhich came about when she visit-ed him in prison for fraud.

“Jenny sensed a great need forprison ministries during her visi-tations to me. When my prisonsentence was finished and Iwalked out of Pollsmoor I gotdown on my knees and kissed thefloor by the main entrance good-bye, while Jenny stood on the oth-er side and waited for me. I vowedthat place would never see meagain.”

However, after graduatingfrom the Baptist seminary in1998, the Clayton couple startedthe full-time prison ministry.“Acceptance and forgiveness aretwo of the most important thingsfor a prisoner. Your prison sen-tence is not going to make up foryour crime. You have to take re-sponsibility for your actions andat the ministry we help the in-mates with this process”.

SPREADING THE WORD: At the handover were, from left, Hope Prison Ministry directors Jonathan and Jenny Clayton;Struik Christian Media marketing manager Adrian Kaplan; Struik Christian Media marketing project coordinator LeaniJansen van Vuuren; Neva MacGregor of Hope Prison Ministry; and Joybelle September, former prisoner and staff ofHope Prison Ministry.

Table Mountain confirmed as world wonderPOSTCARD perfect and iconic TableMountain is now officially one of theworld’s seven natural wonders.

Table Mountain’s status as one of the NewSeven Wonders of Nature has become officialafter an international audit confirmed the re-sult of a global voting process.

In her announcement, City of Cape Townmayor Patricia de Lille described the title as“a great accolade for a unique wonder of na-ture that belongs to all the people of CapeTown, South Africa, Africa and the world.The New Seven Wonders title has great long-term marketing value for Cape Town andSouth Africa. The wonder becomes part ofschool curricula, it becomes a “must-see” and“bucket list” item for travellers and explor-ers.” The New7Wonders Foundation, which

is based in Switzerland and regulated underSwiss law, has confirmed that Table Moun-tain’s “provisional” status after internation-al voting closed on 11 November has beenchanged to “official”.

Hundreds of millions of votes had been castfor 28 finalists across the world and all ofthese numbers had to be verified.

De Lille says an official inauguration willbe held. “An impressive commemorativeplaque will be officially presented by theNew7Wonders Foundation. Table Mountainis unique among the Seven Wonders in thatit is in the heart of the city. The others area distance away from main centres. TableMountain is a marvel of history, geology, bio-diversity and it even has a stellar constella-tion named after it.”

The other six wonders are the Amazon for-

est in South America, Halong Bay in Viet-nam, the Iguazu Falls in Brazil and Argenti-na, Jeju Island in South Korea, Komodo Is-land in Indonesia and the Puerto Princesaunderground river in the Philippines.

De Lille thanked everyone who voted forTable Mountain, adding that the City “willwork closely with the South African NationalParks (SANParks). They are responsible formanaging Table Mountain as one of our coun-try’s national parks”.

The Official Supporters Committee (OSC)started the Vote for Table Mountain cam-paign three years ago at the first of threerounds of voting. They approached the Cityfor support in the final round of 28 when thecampaign needed a major thrust. The City,through its Communication and Tourism De-partments, launched a high-impact, high visi-

bility campaign “Seven Weeks to Seven Won-ders” for the final, decisive victory push.

Sabine Lehmann, chairperson of the TableMountain official supporters committee, saidthe official confirmation would provide a sig-nificant boost to the South African tourismindustry.

Lehmann said visitor numbers to themountain “reached record numbers” whenthe mountain was named on the provisionallist of seven sites last November, and “we ex-pect the official confirmation to further boostvisitor interest locally and abroad”.

SANParks regional general manager Garyde Kock said “we value that this award recog-nises SANParks’ significant investment inthe natural heritage of this beautiful moun-tain chain and that conservation adds valueto the tourism economy.”

Artist’s journey featuredin Stellenbosch showRACHELLE Bomberg, internation-ally renowned artist from Muizen-berg, relates her inner experienceof the outer world through paint-ing.

She will take the viewer on a journeyof her personal spiritual search fromThursday 3 May until Saturday 26 Mayat the Sasol Art Museum, StellenboschUniversity.

“The imagery and abstraction is ex-pressed in a surreal and iconic lan-guage through depth of colour andmovement in time space, provoking aninner reality beyond the surface of thecanvas. As is common to all and in mylife too, there have been dark and diffi-cult times; nonetheless, in my artisticjourney, I havealways strived to createworks of visual beauty and light” saysBomberg.

Her first solo exhibition was in 1979at the Lidchi Art Gallery, Johannes-burg. Since then she has become inter-nationally known and has exhibited inthe United States, London, the Nether-lands and extensively in South Africa,the latest exhibition being a selectionof her work at the Barnard Gallery inCape Town in August 2010. For enquir-ies contact Dr Lydia de Waal on(021) 808 3690.

People’s Post Constantia-Wynberg LEADER Tuesday 8 May 2012

Be goodWith Mother’s Day fast approaching, it maybe hard to reconcile this city’s statistics forwomen and child abuse.

Let the facts speak for themselves.A 2004 study by the Medical Research Coun-

cil found that four women each day are killedin acts of femicide by known perpetrators,particularly intimate partners. This means awoman is killed every six hours.

This number makes up half of the womenmurdered in SA. It is the highest rate yet re-ported in research worldwide, says the re-port.

The Women’s Hope Education and Train-ing (Wheat) Trust has found that one out ofevery four women in South Africa is in anabusive relationship. Every 25 seconds awoman or girl is raped in South Africa.

These statistics paint a devastating picturefor the safety of women and children in ourcountry.

Enter valiant attempts at redress throughorganisations such as the Saartjie BaartmanCentre for Abused Women and Children, inAthlone. This centre now faces closure.

Their coffers are bare. They need help –even if all you do is reach for the cheque book.

Abuse transcends barriers of culture, back-ground, income and religion.

This centre offers a lifeline to thousands ofwomen – not only on the Cape Flats, but toabused women and children all over. It offerscounselling and a safe haven through twophases. The first is short term, while phasetwo – which offers housing – is up to a year.

There is a dearth of such facilities in thiscity and the country. It would be a travestyfor the Saartjie Baartman Centre to have toshut its doors.

The iconic woman for whom the centre wasnamed suffered humiliating depravity.

It is said bad things happen when good peo-ple do nothing.

Come now Cape Town, be good people!

Your SMSes. To the lady commenting onthe service at Plumstead. Itdoesn’t help my daughter whonever received the book sent toher. I do think that you havebeen truly lucky. UnfortunatelyI have not been. Letters havebeen opened and money stolen;parcels are just not arriving. Ed

. I wish the six tenants in myhouse readsyour letter. The fourchildren, aged 24-32, lay and playDVD games 24 hours a day andeat all they see. Ma and Pa workand say the children can’t findwork because they have no expe-rience or they blame affirmativeaction. My son joined the policeand proudly wore his blue uni-form for 15 years. He went to asecurity firm for five years,packed his bag, kissed me good-bye and has been a warehousemanager in Auckland for thepast eight years. He has been tovisit three times. Wetton

. We all know there is a hous-ing shortage in the WesternCape. Why are there emptyhouses in the Joe Slovo Parknext to the N2? These houses arestanding empty for many yearsalready.

. Is this normal Islamic “mus-lim” practise for a business to betrading inside a store while it is

juma time? The owner runs off,sits in mosque while business isbooming inside on FreedomDay? Irrespective, most if not allother butchers were closed forthe juma duration. Just goes toshow, money is the ultimate rul-er for somepeople.What a shameto the dean. This shop shouldhave started closing its doorsfrom 12:00 already. So what’s theexcuse? I was in the shop.

. The DA is not a party for all,because many of their support-ers in Cape Town – especially onthe Cape Flats – are against theirblack counterparts.

. According to the Federationof Hospitality in Southern Afri-ca there is no legislation on tip-ping in South Africa. Therefore,it is not the right of a waitron.A tip is rather a privileged re-ward for excellent service dur-ing a meal. It is a free gift froma customer and can be given athis discretion should he so de-sire and the amount is also de-termined by him.

. The electricity tariffs arehigh. It is a difficult life we areliving. We are still earning pea-nuts. I don’t know where to goright now.

. Pirated DVDs are the onlycheap entertainment option forthe poor, while everything elseis unnecesarily overpriced.

Give cannabis a chanceA FEW thoughts on the recent dem-onstration here and in 700 other cit-ies.

I have never smoked cannabis.Nor do I intend to. I still feel whole-heartedly that it should be legal-ised. Banning it deprives the worldof a commodity (hemp) as useful asbamboo to the Chinese. Withouthemp, there would be no Cape Town– all those hemp ropes on whichsailing ships relied.

Imagine a world where not onetree has to be sacrificed for paper.

The American Declaration of Inde-pendence was written on hemp pa-per. Hemp grows easily almost any-where and without fertiliser, un-like cotton. Yet you can makelonglasting fabric from it.

Hemp is a nutritious foodstuff,both for people and animals. It is abrilliant insulator and has beenused in the construction industry.I have not even touched on its pain-killing properties. If it is such a pan-acea, why was it ever banned? AskDupont and the other producers of

nylon and synthetic fabrics.Ask the tobacco giants who had

to vilify cannabis to divert atten-tion from their own problems. AskMonsanto and other fertiliser mul-tinationals.

Why take my word for it? Go tothe internet encyclopedia wikipe-dia.com and look under the entrieson cannabis.

You can download films madeabout legalising cannabis which Ibelieve will convince you as readilyas they converted me. Banning can-nabis is as daft as banning petrol be-cause some idiots like to sniff it!HELEN PARRY

Journey safeMOST people over forty wouldmuch rather take the train if theyhad the assurance of not being at-tacked, beaten or even raped.

To go to work by train would berelaxing and you would be savedfrom having to find parking, pay formonthly parking and terrible traf-fic jams. But the trains are not safeor reliable. They are being burntout, people are knifed, thrown outof moving trains, killed, maimedand even shot. So who wants to takethe train unless a safe way to pro-tect people can be found? I remem-ber using the train and it was al-ways safe, even during the worst

demonstrations of the past. But thisis a whole new element of peoplethat are in for the kill. It gives thema high. They are tik users and drugabusers and they need bigger andbigger highs all the time. Those arethe people that must be caught firstand the rest is easy. Where do thedrugs come from and the tik provid-ers? People will take the train againbecause it is easy and comfortable.I also remember when the train sta-tion was orderly and clean, and peo-ple behaved in an orderly mannerbut that was before the Nigeriansflooded South Africa with drugs.

I say yes to Metrorail, if they pro-vide safety to get into the city andnot into the cemetery.RALPH KRALL

Reviving the jukebox soundSOME of the most iconic music which usedto be blasted from jukeboxes all over theworld during the early ’40s to the late ’60s isrecreated in a show called Jive with the juke-box.

This musical romp, produced and directedby Jayson King, was a sold-out success at theJoseph Stone in Athlone last year. It will bebrought to life again at the same venue fortwo performances on Friday 1 and Saturday2 June at 20:00.

This production follows the footsteps of re-cording artists like Elvis Presley, Fats Domi-no, Connie Francis, Tom Jones, Louis Prima,The Drifters, Temptations, Gloria Gaynor,Donna Summer, Peaches and Herb, NeilSedaka, Elton John, Cliff Richard and manymore. Jive with the Jukebox will have youtwisting and jiving to the sounds of Chubby

Checker, sung by newcomer Deeno. ConnieFrancis is portrayed by Sumaya and TomJones and Engelbert will be brought to lifeby Phillip Dee and Dennis Maart.

Zurayda does Doris Day proud with herversion of Sway, followed by Ruth Knightsinging the songs of Gladys Knight. The Su-premes, Shirelles, Dixie Cups and Three De-grees also feature with the three girls per-forming as Crystal Clear. They belt out thesounds of Aretha Franklin, Fontella Bass,and Cher.

Jive with the jukebox guarantees to be en-tertainment with a difference as the choreog-raphy is styled to the period and so are thecostumes.

Itheko Athletics ClubItheko Athletics Clubbursting at the seamsbursting at the seamsLIAM MOSES

IN the four short years since its formation, IthekoSports Athletic Club has grown into one of the larg-est running clubs in Cape Town andone of the most well-known.

The club started when its founderand current head coach, Farouk Mey-er, decided to personally train twoheavily overweight acquaintances in2008. Since then it has grown exponen-tially into the 1000-member runningforce that it is today.

However, despite this incrediblegrowth and the success of the club’sfirst race, the Jive Slave Route Chal-lenge, which will be hosted for the sec-ond time on Sunday 27 May, Lion of Af-rica Itheko has stuck to its original fo-cus of working with newcomers to thesport.

“The main reason (I started the club)is the instances of ailments like cardio-vascular disease, obesity and highblood pressure that you see aroundyou all the time within our communi-ty,” says Meyer.

“All it means is that people need todo some form of exercise. Combinedwith eating healthily, it will make adifference. My biggest letdown is that I don’t haveenough time todocument the life-changing experiencesthat people have.”

The club started its speedy growth in size immediate-ly after Meyer took on his first trainees and once peoplewitnessed the change that the men had gone through.

At first the newly-formed club met and trained atRondebosch Common, but once their numbers soaredto around 400 they were forced to move to the RhodesHigh School in Mowbray.

But the club has once again outgrown their home andtoday they will move to a new location in Willow Road,

Observatory. Meyer says that while the amount ofmembers on Itheko’s books is impressive, what is moreimportant is the fact that most were complete novicesbefore they joined. “I have been running for the last

35 years but four years ago I real-ised that there is no actual runningclub that caters for people who havenever done sport in their lives be-fore.

“What is significant or phenome-nal about this running club is that99 percent of people who are mem-bers of this running club have nev-er done sport before and they havetransformed their lives by gettinghealthy and fit through running.”

According to Meyer, Itheko isnow the biggest of the 85 runningclubs affiliated to Western ProvinceAthletics.

The club’s name, Itheko, means abig occasion in Xhosa, and over thelast two years it has become in-creasingly appropriate due to thegrowth in size and the inception ofthe club’s own road race.

But Meyer says the club aims tomake any run a big occasion foreach and every member takingpart.

“Most people come here and say‘I cannot run’. But what we say is that if you can walkyou can run. All we do is teach you the difference be-tween walking and running.

“The type of person who will enjoy being part of Ithe-ko is a person that wants to make a difference in theirlifestyle in terms of their health. We’ll show you howto enjoy the sport and then you’ll enjoy all of thehealthy benefits that come with the sport.”

People’s Post is the print media sponsor for the Lionof Africa Itheko Jive Slave Route Challenge. For fur-ther information or to enter the race visit www.ithe-ko.org.

‘Maroon Machine’ steamrolls False BayLIAM MOSES

A BRAVE and determined FalseBay side felt the full force of theUniversity of Stellenbosch’s“Maroon Machine” on Saturdayevening when they hosted Mat-ies at Phillip Herbstein in Con-stantia.

The home team went into thematch on the back of defeat againstthree of the toughest teams in thecompetition, Durbanville, Hamil-tons and Victorians.

They were hoping to turn thecorner against another of the SuperLeague A title contenders, butany chance of False Bay gainingearly superiority on either thescore-board or the field was erasedas soon as the eighth minute, whenMaties scored their first try after aperiod of sustained pressure.

Flyhalf Jarryd Buys missed thesubsequent conversion, but hemade no mistake with his second at-tempt in the 26th minute after hisside crossed the whitewash again.

False Bay managed to pull back

three points in the second lastminute of the half, after a penaltyfrom Stefan Swanich, but the visi-tors resumed dominance less thantwo minutes after play was restart-ed with another converted try.

The hosts staged a fight-back inthe 49th minute by notching uptheir own 7-pointer, but the ripostedid not last long and Maties went onto add two more tries, a convertedtry in the 51st minute and an uncon-verted one in the 73rd.

The 31-10 score line will have leftmany of the passionate home sup-porters bemused as False Bay werenever completely dominated dur-ing the match.

False Bay coach Chris Hewetsonput the result down to his side fail-ing to take their opportunities.

“I think we were a lot better, andI suppose it’s a cliché, but we werea lot better than the score actuallysuggested, like any coach wouldprobably say.

“But it was evident to anybodyhere that we actually left three triesa begging. We just never executed.”

Hewetson added that poor execu-

tion of kicking tactics, which weredecided on before the game, was al-so to blame for the loss.

“We do serious analysis of our op-position and we found it evidentthat Maties weren’t good under thehigh ball.

“The unfortunate thing with ourkicks were that they didn’t gowhere we wanted them to go. But itwas part of our strategy.”

With four losses from their firstfour games, the Constantia team’s

season has not gone as they wouldhave desired, but they will havetheir best chance at victory whenthey face Villager in their nextgame at Brookside on Friday.

According to Hewetson, his teamshould now have some respite aftermaking it through the first fourgames with their pride intact.

“We have played against the topfour teams. UCT (the University ofCape Town) are a team that weknow are battling at the moment be-
