Left alone NICOLE MCCAIN Three times a week, the Lwandle police are forced to deal with children who’ve been left without supervision by their parents – and the problem is rife throughout the Helderberg. Melany Kühn, spokesperson for Social Development MEC Albert Fritz, says 25 cases of neglect of this sort were reported in the Helderberg last year. Seventeen cases were in Macassar alone, according to Kühn. Olivia Adams, a social worker for Child Welfare in Macassar, says three cases came through this office in the last year. Kühn says not all cases are reported through Child Welfare; they may come from other NGOs. Constable Mthokozisi Gama, spokesperson for the Lwandle police, says numerous cases have been reported to the police over the last few months. The children are usually under the age of six, and are often found wandering the road or between homes. Léanne Keet of Masikhule Childcare says there aren’t enough daycare facilities in Lwandle for the number of children who need to be looked after,
especially those whose parents work. “The need exceeds the facility numbers,” says Keet. It’s a general problem that can be seen in Sir Lowry’s Pass and Macassar too, she says. Esté de Jager, a social worker for Child Welfare in Sir Lowry’s Pass, says there aren’t too many cases of outright child abandonment – defined legally as leaving a child for more than three months. The main issue is parents who leave their children unattended, and it’s usually due to ignorance, she says. Gama says many cases come to the attention of the police when parents are under the influence, or when they’ve left their children in the “care” of other people. Kühn agrees, saying that children are often neglected because their parents are abusing drugs and alcohol, and due to a lack of parenting skills and support. Other factors include financial and emotional instability. Gama says the high number of these cases is a drain on police resources. He explains that, once the child has been taken to the police station, officers will open an investigation to find the parents. Once the parents have been found, and confirmed as family of
Nuwe baadjie
the child, the officers will release the child to them. If the officers are unable to find the parents, they contact Social Welfare and find a safe house for the child to stay in. Adams says this puts a lot of pressure on the social workers. They first attempt to contact the child’s family; if that fails, they have to find a foster parent or place of safety where the child can spend the night. “And everything has to be done that day, before you go home,” she says. Kühn echoes this. “Huge effort goes into finding loving homes for abandoned children,” she says, “including but not limited to man hours, money, equipment, and collaboration with other government departments.” Anyone who finds a missing child should contact the police immediately on 0 10111, or report the matter to their nearest police station. Child abuse can be reported to Childline on 0 0800 055 555.

Constable Mthokozisi Gama, spokesperson for the Lwandle police, says parents should do the following when a child goes missing: first, immediately report the child as missing at your nearest police station. There is no waiting period with regards to missing persons. Supply the police with a recent photo and full description of the child. Become involved with the investigation by asking all friends and family to help search and distribute flyers. Stay in contact with the police officers investigating, and report any developments to them.

Lwandle to enchant with choir champs NICOLE MCCAIN The Abathandi Boxolo choir are warming up their voices in anticipation of the inaugural Lwandle Cultural Youth Festival. The festival, running from 14 to 17 June, will feature a choral and cultural competition for all choirs and singing groups in Lwandle and Nomzamo. Michael Xelelo, who runs the Abathandi Boxolo choir, says he’s very proud to be associated with the festival, which is encouraging transformation. The choir is also dedicated to empowering the community, Xelelo says; he and his fellow singers started the group in 2002 to encourage children to turn away from drugs and crime. Today, the choir of around 50 people is open to all ages. “There are so many people who want to join choirs,” says Xelelo, who estimates that there are half a dozen of these singing groups in the area. The Abathandi Boxolo choir specialises in a cappella music, and also sings gospel
and African songs. Xelelo says the singers often rework kwaito, R&B and house songs as a way to make the music more accessible. “We want everyone to enjoy it,” he explains. Though they haven’t yet chosen a song to perform at the festival, Xelelo says the choristers are practising hard for the upcoming competition, which happens at the Lwandle community hall from 11:00 to 18:00 on 15 June. Awards will be handed to the best choir and cultural group, as well as the runners-up. The festival will also include a youth lecture, netball tournament, seven-a-side soccer tournament, talent competition, and martial arts display. Singing the praises of these vocal groups is Bongani Michael, treasurer of the festival’s organising group. “Choirs are an essential part of our society,” he says on behalf of Lwandle’s facility management committee. “We have seen their presence through schools, social groups and religious structures, and even our state departments have their own choirs. We are guaranteed exceptional participa-

the talent on show. Anyone interested in taking part in the Lwandle Youth Festival can contact Bongani Michael on 084 561 1687.
Strand man brings book to life Kinderdag in Sir Lowry’s NICOLE MCCAIN
NICOLE MCCAIN
Strand-born author Rashaad van Niekerk is planning the release of his first book, Memowars of a Schizophrenic. The novella looks at life through the eyes of someone living with the psychological condition of schizophrenia, examining everyday concepts such as love and sport, and the musing of a person living with several voices in their head. Van Niekerk describes the book as “a mad man putting his struggles on paper”. He starts his book with the story of a young boy whose love for Bible stories sparks a dream of being a prophet. This sets the scene for the moral debate strung throughout the book – on “where we’re going wrong and what we’re doing wrong”. The aim of this, according to Van Niekerk, is to remind us of our principles and purpose. Although Van Niekerk has no training in psychology, he researched the book extensively, devoting two years to understanding the mind of a schizophrenic. He says the book is more than just an exploration of the mind. “The book will take your mind on a journey. It will open up your eyes and ears to things you take for granted.” Van Niekerk freely admits he found the process challenging. “To write a book is not easy. You write two chapters, and then the next day delete it all because it doesn’t make sense to you. And then there’s writer’s block. Every day is a challenge!” Despite this, Van Niekerk says he found the freedom to express himself through writing. “Writing allowed me to be free, to say what I want, to do what I want to do.” He’s strongly motivated to be an example for the children living in his community. Van Niekerk grew up in Strand, where he says many teenagers turn to drugs and end up involved in crime. “Where I come from, prison is your destiny. People don’t see you doing something with your life.”
Sir Lowry’s Pass se kinders het Vrydag 1 Junie Nasionale Kinderdag gevier. Die kinders van verskillende kleuterskole in die gebied het by Sir Lowry’s Pass Primêr aangemeld vir ’n dag vol pret, maar ook ’n ernstige boodskap. Gemeenskapwerker, Claudia Erasmus, het die dag georganiseer omdat sy sê die kinders moet oor veiligheid en mishandeling ingelig word. Sy het dus verteenwoordigers van Kindersorg, Patch en die departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling genooi. Die kinders se veiligheidsvaardighede is opgeskerp deur Elroy Blouws van brand-en reddingsdienste, en hulle het ook aan Tai Chi deelgeneem saam met sers. Niklaas Thysen van die Somerset-Wes polisie. Ná al die aktiwiteite, het die kinders ’n warm bord kos geniet, én het ’n lekkergoedpakkie gekry om huis toe te neem.
Sersant Niklaas Thysen gee sy hoed vir een van die kinders om aan te pas tydens die Nasionale Kinderdag fees.
Strand-born author Rashaad van Niekerk will soon be releasing his first book, Memowars of a Schizophrenic. Photo: NICOLE MCCAIN This moved him to give the youths of his community hope. “I’m trying to show kids from a less fortunate area that you don’t have to do drugs… I want to show the youth there is another option.” Van Niekerk hopes to leave a legacy behind him with his work. “Your whole life, you want to make a change. You want to be remembered.” And he is not only doing this through his book. He is currently studying under Imam Nazeem Safodien, coordinator of Project Growth in Strand, with the motivation of becoming a community leader. Van Niekerk is also putting together a clothing line, and will start working on his second book after the release of Memowars of a Schizophrenic at the end of the month. For more information, contact Rashaad van Niekerk on 078 944 4039. Find the book at bookstore.xlibris.com.

Dié dag is twakvry NICOLE MCCAIN Wêreld Tabakvryedag is op Donderdag 31 Mei gevier. Op dié dag moes daar wêreldwyd vir 24 uur geen vorm van tabak gebruik word nie. Die Gazette het Helderberginwoners op straat gevra hoe hulle hieroor voel.
“An international day against smoking is good, because smoking has negative effects on the people around you,” says Ruth Mnyikizo “If you stand next to someone who smokes, you can smell the smoke on your clothes, and the people who are around smokers can also get sick.”
One day is not enough, says Estelle Martin. “It’s good to have World No Tobacco Day, but we need more awareness. So few people know that it’s World No Tobacco Day – I didn’t even know it was. And it’s especially important to have awareness at schools – kids are smoking from a young age. They need to make more of it, not just name the day.”
Mense moet meer bewus gemaak word van dae soos Wêreldvrye Tabakdag , dink Nico Oelofse. “Ek het nooit voorheen van dié dag gehoor nie. Hulle moet dalk iets meer doen om mense bewus te maak,” sê Oelofse. “Ek is nie ’n roker nie, maar ek dink mense wat rook sal sukkel om vir ’n dag op te hou.”
Wilson Sovendle sê ’n rookvrye gemeenskap sal aangenaam wees. “Rook lei tot siekte, veral vir kinders en nie-rokers. Die wet is goed, maar daar moet meer plekke wees waar rook, tussen sekere ure, verbode is. Die wet is genoeg, maar dit benodig sterker publieke ondersteuning.” Foto’s: Nicole Mccain
Leanne Nel sê dat sy, as ’n roker, dink dis goed om ’n dag te hê om mense aan te moedig om op te hou rook. “Jy gee baie geld uit as jy rook, en dis ongesond. Ek sal vir ’n dag kan ophou rook, maar daar is baie mense wat nie sal kan nie. Dit sal goed wees as hulle net vir een dag sigaretloos kan wees.”
Edwin Smith says it’s good to have a day of awareness. “Smoking has never been good for people’s health, or the environment.” He also thinks laws that prohibit and limit smoking play a big role in reducing the number of people who smoke. “You see fewer people smoking nowadays. People are becoming more reserved about it.”
Ayanda Konjwa says the biggest problem around smoking is the related illnesses. “Smoking gives people diseases. So it’s good to have 24 hours where people do not smoke, but I think it will be difficult for smokers because they are dedicated to smoking.”
Some smokers would find it difficult to hold off even for a day, says Philip Munnik. “While it’s a good idea, I don’t think I’d be able to stop for 24 hours. I smoke two packs a day. I don’t really have a problem with people smoking.”

Laerskoolkwessie bekyk NICOLE MCCAIN Macassar-inwoners wag om te hoor oor die moontlikheid van ’n nuwe laerskool in die gebied ná ’n betoging oor kinderveiligheid en onderrig aan die begin van dié maand. Volgens Christiaan Steward van Macassar Village het ’n komitee bestaande uit verteenwoordigers van skole, beheerrade, die Macassar Belastingbetalersvereniging, die Macassar-polisieforum en die Macassar Village-gemeenskap op 22 Mei vergader om dié kwessie te bespreek. Dié partye is ingelig dat die onderwysdepartement die moontlikheid van ’n laerskool ondersoek en in die eerste week van Junie sal terugrapporteer, vertel Steward. Hy sê veiligheid is ’n bron van groot kommer, veral vir die jonger kinders wat deur ’n oop stuk veld moet loop om by die skool uit te kom. Bronagh Casey, woordvoerder vir die Weskaapse onderwysminister Donald Grant, sê leerlinge het tans ’n skool binne ’n gemiddelde radius van twee kilometer van hul huise. Volgens Steward sal sowat 1 200 kinders baat vind by ’n skool in Macassar Village. Daar is tans vyf laerskole in die Macassar-omge-
wing wat voorsiening maak vir nagenoeg 6 000 leerlinge. By Oklahoma Primêr woon 400 van die 1 100 leerlinge in Macassar Village. By Firgrove Primêr is 140 van die 830 leerlinge van Macassar Village afkomstig. St Paul’s Primêr in Faure huisves 120 leerlinge waarvan 35 uit Macassar Village kom. Macassar Primêr het sowat 1 100 leerlinge en 300 van hulle woon in Macassar Village. Sowat 180 kinders uit Macassar Village woon Marvin Park Primêr by. Dié skool huisves tans net meer as 1 160 leerlinge. Paddy Attwell, provinsiale woordvoerder vir die departement van onderwys, meen egter daar is geen onmiddellike behoefte aan nog ’n skool in die omgewing nie. Die departement verwag egter dat met voortdurende ontwikkeling in die gebied daar wel in die toekoms ’n toenemende behoefte sal wees. “As ’n mens kyk na die lang afstande wat hierdie kinders elke dag moet stap, dink ek ’n skool in Macassar Village is ’n noodsaaklikheid,” sê Dianne Volmink, St Pauls se skoolhoof. “Daar is altyd ’n behoefte aan nog ’n skool,” aldus Vernon Hendricks, Firgrove se skoolhoof. Hy meen ’n skool met meer as 1 000 leerlinge, is oorvol.

DOWN AND OUT: Joe Maina of Sir Lowry’s Pass stands next to his fridge, his only possession to survive the fire that gutted his home on Sunday 27 May. Maina’s home caught fire at about 22:30 that evening, while he was at work. Neighbours rushed to extinguish the flames, but the fire destroyed all his belongings. Maina, who suspects foul play, says one of his home’s windows was broken, and that it would have been easy to start a fire through it. He says, however, that when he reported this to the police, they said they could not open a case as there were no evidence of arson. Police spokesperson Captain Anneke van der Vyver, on the other hand, says no one attempted to open a criminal case. “The owner needs to come forward with information and lodge a complaint should he feel that it was arson,” she says. Anyone who can assist Maina can phone Randall Hendricks on 082 318 5730. Photo: NICOLE MCCAIN
Cable theft cripples Lwandle Things are finally returning to normal, after cable thieves left the Lwandle police without telephone lines for two weeks. The stolen cable, which plunged the station into communication limbo, was replaced on Thursday 24 May. Constable Mthokosisi Gama, Lwandle police spokesperson, says people were unable to call in to report crimes during the outage. It also meant nobody could make phone calls or send emails from the station. The matter affected the Lwandle police’s ability to fight crime, says Pumla Ngujulwe of the Lwandle Community Policing Forum. The stolen cables took two weeks to be replaced, says Gama. Gama says the police informed the community about the problem during their weekly meetings, and handed out sector cellphone numbers to call until the cable could be repaired. They also informed other police stations in the area. The police station has been battling with cable theft since the beginning of the year. Gama says it’s been hit by cable thieves three times this year. One
of the thefts even left it without electricity. The Western Cape SAPS receives notification whenever lines are down. In this situation neighbouring stations offer assistance, says provincial spokesperson Captain Frederick van Wyk. But this is just one face of a huge problem: Telkom spokesperson Pynee Chetty says the province has around 130 incidents of cable theft per month. A source at Ikwezi Clinic in Lwandle says the clinic too has been affected by the cable theft; staff have had to use cellphones or a wireless phone. “It’s a problem to call the ambulance,” the source says. The power cuts caused by the thefts often mean patients are not able to receive medicine or care. The clinic has to arrange a generator from the City of Cape Town when the electricity goes out. The Lwandle police are now calling on the community to help them catch the thieves. Anyone with information is urged to call the police on 021 845 2060. Report cable theft on 0800 222 771. Those whose information leads to arrest will be rewarded.

Plans in place for winter floods NICOLE MCCAIN The City of Cape Town has released its plan to minimise flooding this winter – and three priority areas fall in Strand. Among the nine high-risk areas to receive special attention this year are Helderberg informal settlements Pholile Park, Masakhane and Solly Town. “These areas are close to canals and detention ponds, and most structures are in trapped lowlying locations, making them vulnerable to flooding and difficult to provide basic services to,” says Councillor Ernest Sonnenberg, the City of Cape Town’s mayoral committee (mayco) member for human settlements. The City will offer awareness campaigns in these areas, and will clean and unblock canals and detention ponds. The work will in-

Last year saw 180 homes flooded in Solly’s Town, leaving 450 people affected. JP Smith, mayco member for safety and security, says last winter also saw flooding in Sir Lowry’s Pass, Cassablanca, and Nkanti Village, with around 500 homes and over 2 000 people affected. Letitia November of Pholile Park says many households live in fear of the winter rains. “Some
roofs are made of plastic, and when it rains they sag and water leaks into our homes. When it floods the water comes up to our knees and we have to pile stones and bricks just to move around.” Victoria Mlandi says water covers the streets and pavements, and makes it difficult for residents, especially children, to use the outdoor toilets. In case of any emergency situation, call 107 from a landline or 021 480 7700 from a cellphone.

DOMESTIC TARIFF: Structure of the Domestic tariff changes to be the same as the Lifeline tariff, also a lower Block 1 introduced for this tariff NEW TIME OF USE TARIFF: A new High Voltage Time of Use tariff is introduced for supplies of 66kV or 132kV, depending on the available network. This tariff has the same time periods, service fee and demand charge as the renamed MV Time of Use tariff, but the energy charges are subject to a 3% discount because of lower losses at those voltage levels. Small Power User 1 with Off Peak combination will be restricted to existing customers only from 1 July 2012. The Off Peak components also increase by an above average amount as the first step in the phasing out of this tariff.
NOTE: Monthly Service Charges calculated as Daily Service Charge multiplied by number of days in billing period. 2.4. SOLID WASTE All Tariffs reflected below are exclusive of VAT 2011/12 2012/13 INCREASE (excl. vat) (excl. vat) %

Lesers lewer kommentaar Taxi en trok ongeluk ) Dis veiliger om ’n swartmamba met kaal hande te vang as om in ’n taxi te klim. E, Strand ) I think all taxis should be completely removed from all roads. Ninety-nine percent of all accidents on our roads happen because of reckless taxi drivers. The government should improve other transportation, like the buses and trains, with better security and respect. I have never in my life been on a train because of the government neglecting our transportation. South Africa probably has the worst transportation system in the world. The government has let us down. Maybe they should stop paying the government officials such big salaries and use the money better. ) Truck accident: the robot changes in an instant to keep traffic flowing. No truck can stop so fast. The taxi driver should always look left and right before pulling off. Do you
have evidence of the orange change to red? The traffic department is the problem. Joseph, Gordon’s Bay ) Die vragmotor en taxi wat gebots het, wys dat padreëls heeltemal geïgnoreer word. Meeste taxibestuurders ken nie eens hul padreëls nie en stel almal se lewens in gevaar op paaie. Suid-Afrika se paaie het soos die Wilde Weste geword. Niemand is meer veilig met taxi’s op paaie nie. Rynhardt, Somerset-Wes ) Die staat moet die wet so verander dat geen geregistreerde eienaar van taxi’s meer as een mag besit nie, en hy self die bestuurder moet wees. Dan word die Mafia uitgeskakel. Dit is menere wat ’n paar taxi’s besit en die bestuurders wat aangestel word moet ’n sekere bedrag per dag inbring. Nou wat doen hulle? Hul oortree wette en ry soos besetenes om nie hul werk te verloor nie, en die baas lag al die pad na die bank. ’n Voorbeeld is die baas koop ’n voertuig op huurkoop en registreer die taxi op sy naam as ABC Taxi’s, nou
Whatdoyousay?
gee hy dit aan X wat die volgende moet doen om ’n bedrag per week by baas in te betaal, brandstof ingooi en die taxi onderhou, dis hoekom daar vandag soveel onpadwaardige en oorlaaide taxi’s op paaie is wat soveel lewens eis. Die taxi-bedryf is niks anders as ’n Mafia-bedryf nie. ES Strand ) Die trokke en taxi’s ry asof net hulle padverbruikers is. Hulle gee nie voorkeur aan ander verbruikers nie en stop voor jou sonder om aan te dui dat hy gaan stop. Op sommige taxi’s staan selfs “hierdie taxi stop enige plek, enige tyd”. Om nie eers van die trokke te praat wat bane op die N2 wissel soos sport motors nie. Waar gaan dit alles eindig? Groot ongelukke moet vasgevat word. ) Ek ry in ’n taxi wat op groot trokke en busse se sterte ry. Ek gil elke dag van skok as hy so moet rem. Die bestuurder het al hoeveel kere byna ongelukke gemaak.

Busse ) Hoekom ontwrig die twee Golden Arrow busse soggens die verkeer met hul impromptu stoppe in Victoriastraat? Hulle trek soggens net na 07:00 teen die sypaadjie, langs W. Miller, op en laai ’n handjievol passasiers af. Laer in die straat af is daar wel ’n inham waar hulle kan stop eerder as om ander motoriste te ontwrig en dan weer hul weg deur die verkeer te forseer tot in die regterbaan om op die N2 in die rigting Kaapstad te kom. Waar is ons verkeersbeamptes?

Geluk is ’n nuwe wendyhuis Macassar-inwoner Juanita Phillips se droom het waar geword toe sy onlangs ’n wendy-huis gekry het.
TWENTY YEARS AND COUNTING: Patch, a non-profit organisation in the Helderberg working to support children who have been sexually abused, celebrated its 20th birthday on Friday. The organisation has grown from humble beginnings – with just one paid employee – into an organisation with 13 employees and 7 offices throughout the Helderberg and surrounds. In 1992 the organisation helped 35 children, but today that number has increased to more than 500. The Patch team members in the photo are (at the back, from left) Moné Nothnagel (social worker), Sherleen Brink (social auxiliary worker), Elanie Jacobs (counsellor), Antoinette Bennett (bookkeeper), Amanda-Lea Jones (fundraiser) and Zelodia Cousins (social worker). In front is Ada Buys, (Patch unit manager).
From left are Clifford Martinus (coordinator of the Oasis Assessment Centre), Councillor Beverley Cortje-Alcock (mayoral committee member for social and early childhood development) and Francis Lukas (secretary of the Strand CPF and chair of the Helderberg Cares Committee). Photos: NICOLE MCCAIN
Giving the homeless a choice The Oasis Assessment Centre, which works with homeless people in the Helderberg, was officially opened by Councillor Beverley CortjeAlcock, the City of Cape
Town’s mayoral committee member for social and early childhood development, late last month. Gazette was there to snap some of the faces at the event.
From left are Helderberg Cares committee members Harcourt Jooste, Andrew Arnolds, Nicolas Petersen, Gertruida Hendricks, Shaun Phillips, Ruben Dames (vice chairperson), Shareen Schroeder (secretary) and Francis Lukas (chairperson).
Jantjie Booysen (Social Development facilitator) Wayne Spammer, (manager of the Somerset West Night Shelter), Getruida Hendricks (project coordinator at the assessment centre), and Adriana Joubert (secretary of the night shelter).
Dié welkome skenking is moontlik gemaak met die hulp van ’n SomersetWes-egpaar, Christiaan en Ilse van Eeden. Juanita, wat daagliks vir meer as 100 kinders sorg terwyl hul ouers werk, wou graag ’n warm, veilige plek vir die kinders gedurende die winter hê. Ilse, ’n plaaslike Duitse onderwyseres, is die organiseerder van ’n jaarlikse skole-uitruilprogram met die Bernard Strugel-Gimnasium in Memmingen, Duitsland. Kort ná Juanita se storie in die Gazette verskyn het, het sy met Juanita in aanraking gekom omdat sy gemeen het ’n Duitse groep kan help met haar versoek vir ’n wendy-huis. ’n Groep van 21 gr. 10-leerlinge het vanaf 3 tot 21 April in ons land gekuier. Hulle wou nie net deur ons land reis en van ons kultuur leer nie, maar wou ook by ’n gemeenskapsprojek betrokke raak. Die groep het ’n dag in Macassar met Juanita deurgebring om eerstehands haar werk in haar gemeenskap te ervaar. Hulle het ook finansieel bygedra tot die wendy-huis. Juanita was verheug toe die kamer deur JC Wendy Houses, wat ook R2 000 tot die projek bygedra het, opgerig is. “Ek het baie gehuil toe ek hoor dat ek die wendy-huis kry en wil baie dankie sê aan hulle.” Juanita bedank ook die Stad Kaapstad, die Halli Trust, Paul Goddard en sy vrou Petra Vandecasteele vir hul donasies.
Juanita Phillips het ook donasies van kos gekry. Dié gebruik sy om die kinders, wat daagliks meer word, te voed.

St Peter’s pupils splash out at gala The pupils of St Peter’s Academy in Strand made waves when they raced through the Strand indoor pool amid the school’s first ever gala. The school, which at the moment sees to the educational needs of 70 pupils, had identified swimming as the ideal way to further develop its pupils, reasoning that the sport was one most could participate in. With the assistance of the lifeguards at the indoor pool, the school set up a swimming programme, and the youngsters got training with zeal. A spokesperson says the programme has been a huge success, and several pupils have been identified to attend advanced swimming coaching with Mark Dixon, a registered sport science facilitator and a Learn to Swim assessor with Swimming South Africa. Get in touch with St Peter’s Academy on 021 853 4717 or at st.ptrs.acad@gmail.com. The school can be found at 12 John Walls Street, Strand.
ARGENTINIAN WAVE: Two-year-old Luke Constance from Sir Lowry’s Pass (middle) with a member of the CRAI Rugby Club from Argentina on the evening of their match against Sir Lowrians, played at Sir Lowry Park last month. The night match was the first ever evening game played at the local sports grounds. The capacity crowd was entertained by some seriously exciting running rugby by the home team and solid scrumming by the visiting Argentinians. Although the home team won the match 31–19, rugby was the real winner of this historic encounter.
The stars of the night were (back row) teachers N Suleiman and H Bennie.In front of them are teachers L Brent, M Martin and N Liebenberg. The swimmers are (from left) Toni Davids, Alicia Zerf, Cumisa Gungutha, Robyn Voskuil, Peter-John Saal, Jarred Bosman, Lisa Nqabini, Nashe Fredericks, Brandon Huni and Singatha Nyongwana.

Preserving rugby history The Western Province Rugby Football Union will soon give recognition to the many talented rugby players who would have graced international rugby fields if not for the country’s previous discriminatory laws.

The zones to be covered by this initiative include the Helderberg, Somerset West and District, Somerset Board and former Federation.

Universals), Hotspurs, Thistles, All-Saints, Somerset RFC, Sir Lowrians (St Matthews and Rangers), Strand United, St Georges, Vergelegen (Lilies), Marines RFC, Ex-Scholars, Auroras RFC, Strand Pioneers, Wesley RFC, Strand Wesley RFC, Strand RFC, the Gordon’s Bay clubs of Temperance Town and Flying Eagles, and Grabouw club Perseverance.
