A NOTE FROM THE
EDITOR
Preparatory school learners welcomed at St Martin’s
It’s that time of the year when parents see their children go back to school and for some parents school started for the very first time. tame TIMES visited schools in and around the area and it was fun to spend time with Grade 1s in their classes and seeing them getting ready to be educated. It is always an emotional situation for parents to see their child start Grade 1 but remember that your child’s education is the primary aspect that shapes their future. tame TIMES also wants to remind all parents that a teacher should have the best idea of whether your child can meet social and academic expectations. Listen to the advice given by them as they have been trained in early childhood development. To all the children in our community that started Grade 1 and to their parents we at tame TIMES want to wish you all the best and encourage you that you are the future builders of our country.

Parktown Boys’ High School releases statement following death of pupil at orientation camp
Parktown Boys’ High School have released a statement outlining its version of events at a Grade 8 orientation camp where a 13-year-old pupil died. Enoch Mpianzi’s body was found on Friday, 17 January after he went missing during a water activity at the camp. He was last seen on Wednesday, 15 January when a makeshift raft he and other boys were on, overturned on the Crocodile River. In a statement posted in the school’s Facebook Page, the school said the camp was aimed at introducing the new Parktonians to one another and creating an environment that focused on teamwork and achieving of common goals through various activities. The statement reads as follows: The Parktown Boys’ High School Grade 8 Orientation Camp took place at Nyathi
Bush and River Break in the North West Province. The Grade 8 group arrived at camp on Wednesday the 15th of January. The camp is aimed at introducing new Parktonians to each other and creating an environment which focuses on team work and the achieving of common goals through various activities offered at the camp. The school’s Headboy, Deputy Headboy and SEC members along with 7 staff members were also present on the camp along with the Headmaster, Malcolm Williams and a Senior Child Development and Protection Consultant, Luke Lamprecht. In the afternoon the boys were involved in a water activity that was supervised by trained camp facilitators. After the activity there was a hike and supper, followed by a sleep out in the veld. Late on Thursday morning, it became ap-
parent that a boy had gone missing from the camp. Internal emergency procedures were immediately instituted by camp management, staff and members of the community. The Headmaster contacted the father to alert him to staff concerns. At 15h20 the Headmaster again contacted the father to confirm that all efforts to locate Enock had failed and shortly thereafter transport was arranged to take the family to the venue. Two trained counsellors from the school accompanied the family. By this time the SAPS Emergency Services had already been called, including the Search and Rescue unit who at the point assumed control of the search. On Thursday evening the decision was made to curtail all camp activities for the Friday and return the boys to school following breakfast and a briefing by the Headmaster and the Senior Child Development and Protection Consultant. At 11h00 on Friday the school was informed of the tragic news that the body of Enock Mpianzi had been found by SAPS Search and Rescue personnel. The Staff, Learners, SGB, and the Parktonian Alumni express their deepest sympathy to the Mpianzi family following this tragic loss. The school community remains in a state of shock and counselling support has been implemented. The Alumni of the school have committed to support the family where possible. Further details will be communicated once more information becomes available.

Playoff glory for Fichardt at Eye of Africa PGA Championship
Darren Fichardt added his name to the rich history of South African golf when he won the prestigious Eye of Africa PGA Championship on Sunday, and on a day when the Sunshine Tour itself made history with its coverage of the country’s second oldest professional golf tournament. Fichardt beat Chile’s Matias Calderon with a birdie on the third playoff hole after both finished regulation play tied for the lead on 20-under par at the Eye of Africa Signature Golf Estate. “I have always wanted to win the Eye of
Africa PGA Championship, and the way I won it was very special. To win in a playoff is always awesome, and then hitting a driver and five iron and making a good putt for birdie was very satisfying,” said Fichardt. Fichardt now owns a place on a trophy that includes some of the biggest names in South African golf. And the Sunshine Tour made its own bit of history at it live streamed the final round for the first time, with even Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok Schalk Brits declaring on social media he was watching the final
round on his laptop while in the FNB Stadium watching the rugby action at Vodacom Super Hero Sunday. Fichardt went into the final round tied for the lead with Jacques Kruyswijk on 16-under, and Calderon four shots adrift of them. But Calderon came surging through the field with a 64, and Fichardt’s own 68 saw the title decided between these two. Kruyswijk took third place on 19-under par with a 69. The victory was a timely boost for Fichardt, who admits the tribulations of
having to return to the European Tour Qualifying School last year after losing his card took it out of him. “I had a tough year last year and decided not to touch a club over December. I came out at the South African Open and was a bit rusty, and missed the cut by one. I was thinking I hope it’s not going to be one of those years again. So to win the week after is awesome. “It’s fantastic playing at home and having that support. It can get very lonely on tour and it’s great to hear people calling your name and supporting you.”
A speedy start to the 2020 MTB season
The Alberton High School MTB Team officially kicked off their season with the Summer Fast One held at the Rand Water Board grounds on Sunday, 12 January. The track is flat and fast with a breathtakingly beautiful part of the track that rides through the Eye of Africa. There were a few tumbles and unexpected detours along the way but no serious injuries. There were eight cyclists from AHS that participated on the day and all rode in the 40km race where 432 entries were recorded. The organizers of the event recorded 814 cyclists that rode in the various distances, namely the 70km, 40km, 20km and 3 km for beginners. The AHS Team can be proud of their times, especially considering that we are just post-Christmas and New Year and training has just started. Their respective positions were very impressive and we are looking forward to a fantastic MTB season this year with a lot more races and exciting training techniques to hone their stamina and fitness levels.
