ormer and current learners, teachers and principals descended on Eros School hall on Tuesday 3 September to celebrate the school’s 50th anniversary. The school, founded in 1969, caters for the needs of children with cerebral palsy, learning difficulties, physical disabilities and other special needs. It has 324 learners. The school’s principal, Samuel Julius, said the school had a rich history. He added that many of their former learners were excelling in their respective fields. “It is a blessing to be here. My heart is full.
It (teaching) is of a higher calling. Standing here, I feel humbled by this majestic institution,” he said. Julius said a big part of his duty is to be of service to learners and to set a good example. He urged the guests to play their part in promoting and encouraging education. Donovan Cleophas, circuit manager for the Western Cape education department’s metro central education district, commended the staff for their dedication and praised the school for its performance in the national senior certificate exams. In 2016, the school obtained a 94% pass rate. Between 2017 and 2018, the average was between 78% and 80%.
“These learners write the same exams as learners at ordinary schools,” Cleophas said. He added that teachers at special needs schools had a difficult task, but they tackled it with ease. “I have the utmost respect for staff members who work with children who live with disabilities,” he said. He cautioned people against feeling sorry for learners and people with disabilities and called on the community to look at children with disabilities differently, and to defy the stereotypes. “I would like to challenge adults to start a conversation around differently-abled peo-

Former principal, Yosuf Yalkhen spearheaded the writing of the book, saying it took them a year and a half to compile it. Yalkhen said the book documented all the memories of the school, from 1969 to 2019. He said they interviewed a range of people, including current learners, former teachers and principals. The books cost R350. According to Yalkhen, there is a limited number available. All the proceeds of the book will be donated to the school.

he City of Cape Town is offering unemployed graduates the opportunity to receive a three-year-long internship as part of the 2020 intake for the Infrastructure Skills Development Grant (ISDG) training programme. The closing date for applications is Friday 13 September. All qualifying national diploma, BTech or B.Degree, graduates are welcome to apply. The City will only consider applications from unemployed South African citizens who have one of the required national diplomas in cost and management accounting; environmental health or information systems and technology. The programme exposes graduates to operations within the municipal environment. Various City departments provide the interns with the necessary practical experience. These include the water and sanitation; solid waste; transport; human settlements; information science and technology and finance departments. Their structured training plans are aligned with the respective statutory professional registration requirements of each
field to provide the graduates with the desired learning outcomes. “Thus far, the ISDG programme has made a real impact in the lives of many talented graduates who have gained invaluable experience and knowledge from experts within the City administration,” said Mayco member for corporate services, Sharon Cottle. Since the inception of the ISDG programme, the City has appointed 61 graduates representing various fields of studies, namely engineering; material science; biotechnology; chemical science; environmental science; quantity surveying and project administration. To date, 22 graduates have been appointed to permanent positions within the City. The City’s long-term strategy determines what type of expertise need to be promoted and developed among residents. In this instance, the core objective is to support the City of Cape Town’s infrastructure development goals. The ISDG programme provides the City with an opportunity to address the shortage of scarce and critical skills in various fields. The City is planning ahead to replace scarce and critical skills that they may lose
in the coming years as employees retire. As cities expand, industries and people need to be supported with adequate services ranging from the provision of electricity and water to various other services that aid modern development beyond the basics, such as a broadband and public transport networks. By continuing to invest in infrastructure development, the City is ensuring that Cape Town has the capacity to support this growth. The key performance areas of these internships include financial control and risk management; monitoring risk compliance control; environmental health functions; community participation; development of informal settlements; IT administration; investigation, analysis and research, and communication. It should be noted that computer proficiency in MS PowerPoint, MS Excel and MS Word, as well as a driver’s licence will be considered as an advantage for applicants. Applicants can apply via SMS by sending ISDG to 33002. V For any queries, applicants may contact hrservicedesk@capetown.gov.za or visit the City’s website for information.

Well-known in their community for the selfless work they do, Minnie (71) and Daniël Hoorn (80), are part of the top three finalists of the Community Champions Elders Awards in the 70 – 80-year-old category – but the recognition is not what they do it for. The awards are presented by presented by People’s Post, TygerBurger and City Vision in partnership with Spec-Savers. For more than 20 years, since retiring from working at a petrol filling station in Bergvliet, Daniël has been feeding the needs of the community by providing the residents with food and spiritual nourishment, which he began with his late wife, Marie. “It is in my nature to help wherever I can. I didn’t understand, but I saw my grandparents and my father doing the same thing while I was growing up. Then when I gave
myself to the Lord, I saw that giving was my calling,” Daniël explains. Minnie says she had always been known in the community as someone who was willing to give to the needy. “I never understood why people always came to knock on my door for a piece of bread, even when I was struggling, but I could always give them something and share. When Daniël’s wife passed on (in 2007), he came to me and told me that God told him to marry me.” While she was hesitant at first, she says she realised that they were meant to help the community as Minnie and Daniël Hoorn feed the community three husband and wife. times a week.

‘Plankie’ school a safety risk SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic

t has been 20 years since Surrey Primary School was hit by a tornado. Staff members say they cannot help but feel fearful sometimes, thinking that history might repeat itself. The incident, which happened in August 1999, caused enormous damage to the school’s property. It propelled Thabo Mbeki, former president of South Africa, and Kader Asmal, then education minister, to pay the school a visit. According to the school’s principal, Imtiaz Adams, nine classrooms were damaged, as well as the administration building, the computer room, the library and the toilets. It did not only affect the school, but other parts of Gugulethu and Manenberg.
While the damage was repaired and some of the buildings were rebuilt, the fear remains that if a similar natural disaster would happen again, the prefab buildings would not withstand the impact. “It was quite a difficult time for us as the school. It was chaotic, people were running around. It was also a real test for us because we did not know if the children would return to school,” he says. To his surprise, the learners all returned. But their wish is to get a new school as the current buildings were badly affected by the tornado. He says the school is one of the best-performing ones in the area and getting a new school would serve as a pat on the back for the staff who work tirelessly. In 2010, he came second in the teacher’s awards, in the category of excellence in primary leader-
ship, nationally. His deputy principal, Shuddier Dalvie shares his sentiments. He says they try hard not to think about the incident and focus on teaching the learners. “Our wish is to get a new school. (Here) You are always waiting for the second tornado and your prayer is always that it happens on a weekend when the kids are not here,” says Dalvie. He also attests to his colleague’s statement about the school doing well. According Bronagh Hammond, communications director for the provincial department of education, the school received maintenance after the incident. She also admitted the school is a “plankie school” made with prefab materials. She agrees the school needs to be replaced in its entirety. “The school is currently on our plans for replacement in 2023,” she revealed.

Seniors celebrate spring day SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
S
eniors, mostly women, from various senior clubs gathered at Silvertown Baptist Church for the inaugural spring awareness day for seniors on Thursday 5 September. The event was organised by several chairpersons of different senior clubs, with the Heideveld Senior Forum of ward 44 at the forefront. Another club that helped with the event preparations was Vukani Seniors Club from Thambo Village. The forum serves as a go-to for seniors clubs when they have issues. It hosts awareness activities for seniors and also assists them by making referrals if they need professional help. According to Sharon Lang, who is one of the organisers, the event specifically sought to cater for ward 44 seniors. Lang said it also wished to allow seniors an opportunity to network and build strong unity among them. She said women, especially seniors, are going through a lot and need to sometimes come together to debrief. “We needed to do this (event) for our seniors. Our message and plea are ‘stop abusing women. Look out for seniors in the communities’,” she said. She thanked the church for opening its doors to them and also thanked ward 49 councillor Rashid Adams for supporting the event. She said the event was also about making seniors aware of individuals who are doing work in their community. Two such individuals are Jasomina Solomons and Whilhelmina Davids. They are members of the Heideveld neigh-

Their primary responsibility is to supervise children in the morning when they are going to school. They assist them when they cross the road. They also assist seniors when they go to the clinics. At the event, they addressed the seniors and shared with them their daily challenges. Some of the challenges include
drivers not obeying the rules of the road and also children who sometimes do not want to go to school. “We have to always encourage them by telling them that education is the key to success,” said Davids. Solomons added they sometimes deal with children whose parents cannot afford food.

Those children end up going to school with no lunch boxes or pocket money, she said. They have to encourage them to look beyond their circumstances. “At least there is a feeding scheme,” she said. Also invited were nurses who were able to perform voluntary general health checks on attendees.

DANCE
Students back talented dancers SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
A
group of six public relations students from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) are on a mission to raise funds for Dance For All and they are calling for public support. Dance For All, a non-profit organisation (NPO), offers free dance lessons to unemployed youth from various communities. They rely on sponsors, funders and donors to cover their cost. Two of the students, Linford Benjamin and Jade Adams, say they were touched by the work done by the organisation. Linford says when they visited the centre they were taken aback by the level of talent shown by the dancers. However, they were saddened by the fact
that the performers did not have enough financial support. As part of their studies they started crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the NPO. “We all know that underprivileged children do not have much to look forward to. So this (dancing) is a great thing for them. I would like to ask the public to open their hearts and support them financially.” His classmate, Jade, shares the same sentiment. “When we visited the centre, we found a group of passionate and driven dancers. All they need is a little financial push.” V To pledge support, go to www.backabuddy.co.za/ dancing-dfa.

Conference to nurture young leaders The Young Leaders for Children Conference, to be held from 1 to 3 October in Cape Town, aims to reach, inspire, inform and equip young leaders who work in the children and non-profit sectors. The conference, targeted at individuals 35 years and younger, forms part of the Centre for Early Childhood Development’s (CECD) 25th birthday celebrations. Jessica Blom, programme manager at CECD, says they are very excited to present this conference. “We aim to have young people leaving the conference inspired, motivated, energised, informed and equipped to make a difference in the future of our children.” Blom says many non-profit organisations in the children’s sector lack leadership and management skills.“This is evident in a large number of children’s organisations that had to downscale or even close in the past few years. “The lack of leadership skills and financial sustainability in the NPO sector has had a significant, negative impact on services to children.” The following three main themes will be covered during the young leaders conference: . Leadership: to inspire young people to become great leaders; . Management: to provide young people with the skills on how to effectively man-

Children’s sector research and programmes: to inform young people about
the state of children in the country and to allow individuals to share information on successful programmes they are running.
Day one of the conference will kick off with a Khawuleza (“Go Quick” in isiXhosa) event. A total of 10 presenters will each hold a six-minute-long presentation. This event will showcase the work of young leaders and other initiatives. Day two and three will be filled with interactive plenary and breakaway sessions covering leadership, management, research and programmes in the children’s sector. Some of the young presenters include Chaeli Mycroft from The Chaeli Campaign; Thabang Lentsoana, business adviser at TechnoServe; and Thanduxolo Mkhoyi, director of Eyentsatshane for the Little Ones ECD project. Mycroft will give a talk on “Kids can do”, focusing on changing perceptions and breaking barriers of what young people with disablities can do. Mycroft is an ability activist, adaptive athlete and an adventurer currently studying for a PhD in public law. Lentsoana will look at artificial intelligence and the future of work. The conference will take place at Inyathelo, Buchanan Square, 160 Sir Lowry Road, Woodstock. The deadline for registration is Friday 20 September.

Many ways to support the clubfoot fundraiser NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku An Oranjezicht-based non-profit organisation (NPO), Steps Clubfoot Care encourages the public to get active by walking 1 000 steps to help them raise funds for treatment. The NPO is embarking on its third annual #Steptember campaign to support children born with clubfoot syndrome. The public is urged to make monetary donations and to create their separate BackaBuddy pages to spread the word about the fundraiser and help raise the yearly target of R50 000. Alternatively, one may add the campaign as a MySchool beneficiary or by making a monthly recurring donation on the NPO’s website www.steps.org.za. Karen Moss, the founder of the NPO, says they have faith that support will be positive this year. She says they have been witnessing growing numbers over the past two years since the campaign was founded. “We have had people contact us to make regular donations, and we find that our partner clinics have more enrolments during an active campaign,” says Karen.
The funds will help get more babies into effective clubfoot treatments. The organisation mostly supports children from underprivileged backgrounds whose families cannot afford to pay the costs of the treatment. It costs R2 500 to treat one child. Karen says though getting funds is key, it is also important to emphasise the need to educate parents about the condition and the importance of having it treated from an early stage. “The treatment takes four to five years,” Moss says. This is due to the maintenance phase of sleeping with a clubfoot brace at night until the healing process is complete. Karen says they currently have almost 3 000 children at their partner clinics nationwide. Luke Engels, the marketing manager at the NPO, says they aim to change the lives of at least 20 children born with clubfoot syndrome. Steptember is one of the two initiatives they run annually. The other is held in June, in line with the commemoration of World Clubfoot Day (3 June). Luke says this year the June campaign focused on patient stories, to encourage parents to learn and educate
the community with stories of hope despite their circumstances. He says they had parties at participating clinics where people were asked to dress in yellow to support Clubfoot awareness. “This is a great morale booster at clinics and helps us to reach our goal of building a positive and supportive clubfoot community without stigma or ignorance,” says Luke. He says advocacy is key to their innovative clubfoot impact model. “Campaigns like #Steptember help us to spread the message that clubfoot can be treated. The campaign is going from strength to strength and we’re gaining momentum each year,” he adds. Luke explains that clubfoot is the most common musculoskeletal birth defect where a baby is born with one or both feet twisted downwards and inwards, in a rigid position. He says the South African “black population” has the second-highest rate of clubfoot incidence in the world, with one baby in every 500 births affected. Every year over 2 000 babies are born in South Africa with clubfoot. V For more information about making donations, visit: https://bit.ly/2lrvgwr..

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
‘Bring back death penalty’ NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
A
ll that women want are strategic plans to stop the gender-based killings nationwide, and calls have been made for the death penalty for murderers and rapists. Hundreds of protestors including learners came together in solidarity during the march held outside parliament on Wednesday 4 September. The march, themed #RememberingNene, was in response to the growing number of senseless killings around the country. It followed shortly after a University of Cape Town student, Uyinene Mrwetyana’s body was found in Khayelitsha, at her alleged killer’s home.
She was reported missing on Saturday 24 August and the suspect handed himself to the police on Monday 2 September. Angry students and citizens took to streets to say enough is enough, demanding a detailed plan on how government is intending to address the matter. They say government has been quiet for too long, failing to serve justice for victims. Protestors were angered by a “vague” response by Beki Cele, the national minister of police. He could not give details of how his office is planning to tackle the problem. What Cele said was deemed by the public as an overrated statement. He said the law would be enforced and police would do their best to ensure justice is served, adding it is their goal to remove the
perpetrators of violent crimes from society. “We understand you. This affects all of us and we are doing our best to find solutions. We know just making an arrest alone is not enough – justice must be served. We will work tirelessly to protect our women,” Cele said. UCT vice-chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng was not satisfied by his response. She said the university is addressing the matter internally, beefing up their security systems and providing help to victims. However, their hands are tied when it comes to public spaces such as that where Uyinene was killed, she said. “How can students be satisfied with what the minister said? They are angry at government and us as the university,” Phakeng
said. “I am a woman, I am asking myself if I am the next,” she added. Phakeng said counselling arrangements to help traumatised students have been made. Othandwayo Seti, a learner at Cape Town High School, cried when Cele failed to give a detailed response. “Our mothers and sisters die every day and government is not doing anything. We are scared, stop talking and do something,” she said. Another fuming protestor, Nokubonga Sithole, a UCT student, said they need to be taken seriously when making complaints about sexual harassment and more law enforcement visibility is needed. Sithole said there is no more time for talking; all that is needed is action.
National assembly speaker, Thandi Modise (left) says women in parliament support the fight against senseless killing and discussions are being held in parliament to find solutions. With her is police minister, Beki Cele who was irritated by unwelcoming mood and comments made by the protestors during his address. X1VPKE9H-QK100919

SUBSTANCE
Trend shifts to non-alcoholic drinks SAMANTHA LEE
M
ore and more drinkers are opting to consume low to no alcohol beers and drinks, creating a safer and healthier relationship with drinking. “Binge drinking and over-indulging is a culture that is often encouraged from a young age. You will see teens drinking and then acting recklessly. There is an element of peer pressure, or at least there was for me. You are not cool if you do not drink,” says Lionel Williams who has joined the trend. TygerBurger, People’s Post sister publication, spoke to Williams at a local bar as he was consuming a Castle Free. Williams was out with a group of friends who were consuming alcohol. “I am the driver tonight,” he says. His shift to becoming and consuming alcohol more responsibly came after one too many incidents. “I have been in five accidents and three of those times I wrote the car off. One car was my father’s, the other belonged to a friend. There is a culture in Cape Town that ‘it wouldn’t happen to me’. And even after all those accidents, I still continued,” he says. “I heard many stories and saw many accidents, but that did not change anything for me. I realised I needed to change, or make better choices when my friends and I were pulled over in a roadblock one night. I wasn’t driving that night but my friend was and he was arrested. He wasn’t even as drunk as I usually was when I got behind the wheel and that scared me.” He says though it was difficult to make the adjustment, he is happy to have made it. “I still drink, but I do it when I am at home or if I really crave it. The alcohol-free beers have become so good that they taste very similar. It is all in the mind and I still get the pleasure of a beer without a hangover the next day. That is the one thing I don’t miss about drinking,” he says.
Lester September stopped consuming alcohol after he thought he was chased by a cop car on the N2. “I was driving home from a braai and had a few glasses. My family was with me. I remember feeling like I maybe should not be driving, but we weren’t far from home. I looked up and saw the blue lights coming toward me. I panicked, I thought ‘today may be the day I get arrested’. I started slowing down and the car passed me. But I got the shock of my life and now I only drink alcohol-free,” he says. “As you get older, you realise you can’t be so reckless, no matter how long or short the distance. But from experience, when you are drunk, you don’t care; you are invincible.” The world over, low and no alcohol beers and drinks have changed the way adults consume alcohol. According to global market research company Nielsen, Americans are no longer as loyal to their historic adult drink of choice, while in the United Kingdom a non-alcoholic beer was used to demonstrate to consumers that consuming fewer units of alcohol and reducing their calorie intake, didn’t have to mean giving up the great taste of a quality beer. Closer to home, the City of Cape Town has also “optimistically” noted a shift in alcohol consumption, with fewer recorded confiscations. The City is most active in confiscations over the festive season, where holiday-makers try to consume liquor at public open spaces. “The confiscation of alcohol is one of the most crucial elements in the City’s annual festive season operational plan because of the link between alcohol consumption, antisocial behaviour and compromised safety. The festive season road safety report released earlier this week indicates that nearly 60% of road fatalities in South Africa involve alcohol. In Cape Town, alcohol is listed as the second leading cause of fatal drow-

ning incidents,” says Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith. “These are among the reasons that our law enforcement department, supported by their metro police counterparts, place such heavy emphasis on alcohol confiscations. “It is for these same reasons that the City conducts a sustained awareness and education campaign to highlight the dangers of alcohol to road users, beachgoers and the public in general.” This year there has been as much as 40% fewer confiscations than during the 2017 festive season. While it is unclear what the reason is, the City, along with police and other enforcement agencies have vowed to continue the fight against public intoxication. “Awareness campaigns around this problem have been very prominent over the last few years and one suspects that this has something to do with the higher levels of compliance,” he says. Other successful campaigns launched over the festive season include Dry January
– an initiative where one gives up alcohol for the first month of the year and the #MonatiWaFela campaign which kicked off in December last year, supported by Volkswagen in partnership with Drive Dry. The initiative is aimed at promoting consumers to make a positive change in the culture of drinking and driving. Initiatives such as these are launched in a bid to lower the number of road fatalities and promote safe and responsible consumption of alcohol. Over the 2018/19 festive season, 1 612 fatalities were reported as a result of road accidents. While not all of these were as a result of drunk driving, authorities have used this as a means to promote safer road use, which include curbing speeding and drunk driving. This has further inspired many retailers to lend their voices to the cause. As of this year, several fuel station shops have also stocked alcohol-free beers and wines, encouraging responsible consumption. “An alcohol-free beer offers people the freedom of choice to still enjoy the taste and the sociability of a beer, and the sense of belonging of having a drink with one’s friends, but without the alcohol,” says Zoleka Lisa, vice president of corporate affairs at SAB in a statement. “It also allows the drinker to have a safer consumption experience by practicing ‘pacing’ by combining the consumption of alcohol beers with alcohol-free beers as a means of moderation.” “As numbers of lighter or lower alcohol beer sales increase, it is a win-win situation for brewers and the public at large, as we grow our volumes while reduce the total alcohol consumption in South Africa, meaning a safer place for all.” While the beverages contain no alcohol, they are still not for sale to person’s under the age of 18, as they may encourage a culture of underage drinking.

Fugard Theatre turns 10 soon NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku A lot of hard work and a love for theatre is the secret behind the successful journey of The Fugard Theatre in District Six. The theatre will soon be turning 10years-old and to celebrate the journey, the 320-seater theatre launched the Fugard 2020 season at their rooftop venue on Monday 2 September During the season there will be back-toback shows consisting of works by various creatives in the industry. The performance of these works are to serve the interest of the audience says artistic director, Greg Karvellas. He says: “They invest a lot of time and resources engaging with the audience, finding out what they enjoy in order to deliver relevant, quality productions.”
During his speech at the launch, Karvellas thanked everyone that has made their journey amazing. He says the theatre consistently looks at ways of not just growing their business but also helping the people working in the industry to grow. Eric Abraham, the theatre’s founding producer says: “Who would have thought 10 years ago that we would be here, celebrating this moment?” Lamees Albertus, a manager, has been part of the theatre since the beginning. Albertus says they started from nothing, with no solid plan and it is an honour to have contributed enormously to the industry. She says they want to continue improving and empowering those they work with and making a positive contribution to society. V For more information visit www.thefugard.com.
It is no coincidence that the last Friday of Women’s month, saw the release of Uga Carlini’s latest directorial piece, a music video for actress and songster, Christia Visser, titled Die Deur (The Door). Die Deur deals with the fall out of toxic relationships long after the abuser has left and shows how the long-lasting hold it often has, lies hidden in between the cracks it has left behind. Carlini’s company, Towerkop Creations, has been specialising in female-driven heroine stories since 2010. Shot in black and white by cinematographer Rick Joaquim, Carlini is always more interested in the comeback than the fall. Thus, in the song, Visser fights her way through it, to reach the point where red flags are no longer warning signs but in fact, dealbreakers. A highlight for Carlini was collaborating with Jazzart Dance Theatre, which was founded in 1973. Acknowledged as one of South Africa’s leading contemporary dance theatre companies, Jazzart’s distinguished,
home-grown methodology ensures that principles of strong technique are matched by a uniquely South African philosophy of dance which reflects the diverse political, cultural and historical heritage. Choreographed by Ananda Fuchs, the dancers symbolise how violence doesn’t discriminate. Domestic violence is still the most common killer of women around the world. The most dangerous place for women remains in their own homes. Carlini and Visser’s previous music video collaboration, 17 shots, released in February, won bronze at the Global Music Awards and was runner up for Best Director and Best Music Video at the International Underground Music Video Film Festival. It was also selected as one of four music videos for the Los Angeles-based, New Media Film Festival which brings the world the best in new media – honouring stories worth telling of emerging and established video and new media artists throughout the world; first for an Afrikaans language music video.

PEOPLE'S POST | ATHLONE Tuesday, 10 September 2019
WP crowned queens of SA rugby W
estern Province (WP) claimed a third consecutive South African Rugby women’s interprovincial A-Section title in searing heat at City Park in Athlone on Saturday 7 September, beating Border 38-32 in a dramatic final. The Capetonians had to fight back three times during the match to stay in contention after a strong start by Border, which saw the visitors lead 17-10 at the break. Both sides scored six tries, but two in quick succession late in the second half proved decisive for the champions. Star winger, Kimico Manuel dotted down in the opening minutes to hand WP an early lead, but a converted try by Border had them back in the lead five minutes later. Border scored their second try just after the first water break midway through the first half, with centre, Mophy Ngwevu, finishing off some good work by the forwards. The Border forwards were really strong when in possession, with good
bursts and short passes allowing good interplay among their strong ball-carriers. WP, on the other hand, had some silky running by their backs to thank for their scoreboard relevance and it was Manual who again ghosted past several Border defenders to score her team’s second try after half an hour of play. Border scored their third try of the first half just before the break, with one of their wings Nosi Gada again benefitting from some strong play up front. The second half was equally entertaining. The home side drew level thanks to a Vuyo Maqholo try, with the WP fullback running a good line off a strong break by centre Shaunique Hess. Border took the lead again though, this time after their scrumhalf Unam Tose sniped through and put their replacement-winger, Akhona Dotwana, in space. That 22-17 lead was soon overturned by a converted try from WP,
before Border again took the lead with a try. Trailing 24-29, the home side struck twice in quick succession. First WP scrumhalf Felicia Jacobs scored after a great break, and when Hess opened the Border defence shortly afterwards with a break on the counter-attack, with lock Zindiswa Xozwe on hand to score under the uprights. The home side’s lead jumped to 3827 and with time running out, Tose got a second. But the WP defence held out in the last frantic minutes to claim glory. Scorers: WP 38 (10), Border 32 (17) WP – Tries: Kimico Manuel (2), Vuyo Maqholo, Felicia Jacobs (2), Zandiswa Xozwe. Conversions: Maqholo (2), Selladean Pietersen, Kirsten Conrad. Border – Tries: Xolelwa Diliza, Chumisa Qawe, Akhona Dotwana, Mophy Ngwevu, Nosi Goda, Unam Tose. Conversion: Chuma Qawe.

‘Ball’ players join hands against femicide EARL HAUPT AND NOORE NACERODIEN Players, coaches, administrators, umpires and other members of both the Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA) and the Cape Town Baseball Federation (CTBF) joined hands in their protest against femicide during peak traffic on the Kromboom Road bridge crossing (M5) on Friday 6 September. Passing motorists gave their approval with continuous blaring of the hooters, ex-
tending the outpouring. “A sharp increase in recent cases of femicide has pushed South African women to the brink. Protestors took to the streets of Cape Town to show their support for women and children and the atrocities they are subjected to. Our human right to be protected in society has been grossly neglected with the increase in crime,” says CTBF public relations officer, Diedré Marquard. She adds that both the CTBF and CTSA are united in supporting the cause, be-
cause #enoughisenough.“We stood in solidarity in protest receiving support from all cars hooting as they passed by. As sporting federations, we continue to support this cause and pray for justice to be served on all those who disrespect the lives of others,” she adds. Meanwhile, newly-elected CTSA chair Hayley Carolus was grateful for the turnout experienced at Friday’s demonstration. “The executive committee wants to thank all members for joining us on Friday. It was
stepping stone towards our end goal of creating awareness around gender-based violence. Enough is enough; we need to stand together for all those who are suffering,” she said. Lorene Beukes, vice-president of CTBF’s administration hopes that the spirit of unification between the two sporting administrative bodies continues. “The turnout was awesome; enough to make a point. Thank you to softball, and to all the ladies who were there, because it is really important. This is the first time we’ve joined for anything. I hope that the next time we join is for a happier occasion and that our relationship keeps going and gets stronger.”

Nantes to host fourth annual Unity Race soon RAGHEEMAH ARENDS
N
antes Athletics Club (AC) in Bridgetown, is encouraging Capetonians to join the club’s annual race at the Vangate sport complex on Tuesday 24 September, before indulging in their respective Heritage Day braais later in the day. This year’s race is set to be more impactful, not only to celebrate South Africa’s melting pot of cultures, but to take a stand against gender-based violence in communities as well. The running club’s fourth race is set to be bigger and better than last year, with organisers working tirelessly to top the club’s previous races. The club’s pre-race media launch took place at the Vangate sport complex on Thursday 5 September, giving members and the media a taste of what to expect on race day. “Our vision is that of a greener, brighter future. We want to dedicate this race to the women and children who have lost their lives through brutality, and take a stand,” says Nantes AC’s chairperson, Errol Poggenpoel. Cassiem Mohamed, affectionately known as Boeta Cassiem, a running coach at the club, is excited about the race as it brings people together – especially during a difficult period for many communities. “I’m excited about the race since it’s a means to unite communities. More individuals should participate in sports because it’s a good outlet for any negativity, stress and violence,” he said. Mohamed, a 64-year-old prostate cancer survivor, highlighted the importance of finding something enjoyable that allows you to be consistent in keeping fit.
“If there is no enjoyment, people won’t come back. There are too many people in the community who believe that if they have diabetes or high blood, they can’t exercise. Regular exercise will benefit them a lot,” he added. The running club takes the safety of its club members seriously, especially during training. According to the race director Leon Hendricks, for the Nantes AC Unity Race, the club worked closely with the City to ensure compliance for all safety protocols. “For the race, we have hired private security and we are fortunate enough to have neighbourhood watch volunteers come on board. We will also have the support of the police on race day and we have made safety a top priority,” he said. Nadia Gamieldien, the club’s marketing manager, boasted a zero budget for the promotion of the race. In spite of this, the marketing team has managed to create hype around the race, informing supporters of change of the race’s date from Freedom Day to Heritage Day. “It’s been a tough journey and we have had to think out of the box and we’ve managed to organise many exciting things and we’re looking forward to everything to come,” Gamieldien said. There are various distances to ensure that anyone can participate in the festivities. Individuals and groups can register for the 10km run, 10km league walk or 5km fun run, with the first race, starting at 07:00. Entry fees vary from R30 to R100, depending on age and running license, for the 10km races and R30 for the 5km fun run. There is a cash incentive for any runner who can set a new record, the winners and lucky draw prizes for participants.
