Scores march for unity SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
A
call for unity and an end to domestic violence topped the agenda as angry residents, led by Mothers for Justice, marched through the streets of Heideveld. The peace march, on Friday 9 August, also called for an end to gang violence, crime and violence against women and children. Waving placards that denounced violence, scores of incensed residents took to the streets to voice their concerns. Young and old took part in the march. Mothers for Justice chairperson Vanessa Adriaanse told the women the march had been organised to mobilise them against
life challenges. “Today is about you knowing that you serve a purpose. Do not care about what the next person thinks,” she said. She added the day was about encouraging women to speak up about issues they were going through in their families. According to her, that would inspire other women to break the silence. “Let us encourage other women to speak up. Be the motivation to other women,” she emphasised. Mothers for Justice is a non-profit organisation (NPO) that provides various services to the community. Among others, it assists learners with their homework. It also helps substance abusers and victims.

In her address, Adriaanse stressed the importance of women in society. She pleaded with them to stand up for their rights. “Stand up and say ‘genoeg is genoeg’ (enough is enough). “We are tired of our homes being taken over by gangsterism. We are tired of our homes being taken over by domestic abuse and drugs,” she stressed. The march sent out a message of unity and called for an end to societal ills. Marchers also invited fellow residents to join the demonstration. They said if more people joined such movements, the perpetrators would realise that
residents meant business. Wheelchair-bound resident Suzan Steyner said it was important for her to be part of the march and to raise her voice as a woman. She said, due to increased violence in society, being alive was a blessing. “I do not have a husband and my children are all married,” she said. “I am not safe as a woman and that is why I am marching today.” Widaad Fataar (8) said she would like to see an end to all the shootings and the abuse. The Grade 2 Woodlands Primary School learner wishes to become a doctor and help society. “I want to heal people who are hurt in domestic violence. I also want to help them,” she explained.

he City of Cape Town’s health department recently signed a service level agreement (SLA) with the Western Cape government concerning personal primary healthcare services for the 2019/20 financial year. This is an annual agreement which confirms the amount of R593.7 million the department receives as a subsidy from the provincial government. “The City has entered into this agreement with the Western Cape government for a number of years and it is signed on an annual basis,” said the Mayco member for community services and health, councillor Zahid Badroodien. “This SLA in respect of primary health care services between the two spheres of government seeks to reaffirm the existing relationship and sets out the funding available for personal primary health care services provided by the City,” says Badroodien. Another aim of the SLA is to address shortcomings in the provision of municipal personal primary health care services and at improved health outcomes in the Cape Metro Health District in line with national,

healthier city with adequate and equitable distribution of resources to render quality, comprehensive, cost-effective primary health care services,” adds Badroodien. The R593.7 million will be distributed across City Health services as follows: . comprehensive health services (R192.7 million); . tuberculosis (R30.7 million); . vaccines (R106.9 million); . nutrition supplement programme (R6.2 million); . comprehensive HIV/Aids (R257 million). The City contributes an additional amount of R734 million to these services, which includes R25 million for additional staff to boost these services across the department. Badroodien says the City is grateful for the partnership with the provincial government. “It allows us to strengthen primary healthcare to ensure quality basic care to everyone who accesses the health system. We are able to provide a more efficient health service by offering a comprehensive package of care at our facilities.”

The City of Cape Town hosted more than 36 public benefit and non-profit organisations (PBOs and NPOs) at the Cape Town Civic Centre, on Saturday 27 July, to outline how changes to national legislation impact their access to financial assistance and what can be done to ensure that they continue to receive support. Amendments to the municipal property
rates act necessitated a substantial change to the City’s rates policy to bring it in line with the amendments. In terms of the amendments to the municipal property rates act, the City was required to institute new property categories and align its rebates, reductions and exemptions to the amended national legislation. The amendments had to be implemented simultaneously with a new general valuation roll, which came into effect on 1 July. The legislative amendments have resulted in two major changes in the way municipalities are required to treat PBOs and NPOs. The first major change is in respect of property categories. In compliance with the national legislation, the City has established 12 new property categories compared to the five that it had in previous years. One of the new categories is called “Properties owned by public benefit organisations and used for specified public benefit activities”. Properties in this category will be rated at no more than 25% of the residential rate-in-the-Rand. The amended legislation limits this category to registered PBOs that operate in the welfare, humanitarian, health care and education fields, as indicated in part 1 of the Ninth Schedule of the Income Tax Act. Unfortunately, NPOs and PBOs that are not involved in those narrowly specified public benefit activities and that do not own their own properties will not qualify for rates relief in terms of the national legislation. The second major change is in respect of

rates rebates. The amendments to the national legislation have had a profound effect on how the City can give rates relief to property owners, and severely limited its discretion to determine who would be granted property rebates. Previously, generous relief was granted, particularly to PBOs and NPOs. Unfortunately, how rates rebates for these organisations was traditionally assessed and granted is no longer permissible, and the City may no longer grant rates rebates to organisations on an individual basis. The City has, therefore, identified the grant-in-aid process as a mechanism to continue providing financial relief to the affected organisations. A dedicated amount has been budgeted for additional grants-in aid. PBOs and NPOs are encouraged to apply for a grant-in-aid, irrespective of whether they fall within the new PBO rating category or not. “I would like to emphasise that, despite these nationally mandated amendments, the City will continue to assist where it can,” said the acting Mayco member for finance, Felicity Purchase. She added the contribution of PBOs and NPOs to the well-being of the city and its people is invaluable and they can rely on their (City’s) continued support. “We have identified grants-in-aid as an alternative option to continue providing support and I would like to encourage these organisations to apply.” The grant-in-aid process is very different from the rates rebate application process.

Lions Club seeks to make a difference SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
T
he Lions Club of Athlone held its annual presidential induction on Friday 2 August following the election of Zarina Hendricks as its new president. The election followed the nomination and voting meeting that took place in June. Hendricks is taking over from Rashid Adams, who served for one year. The club has been in existence for the past three years and the election of a new president happens every year. Hendricks said the club is part of the Lions Club International which has been in existence for over 100 years. The club has 47 000 clubs world wide, in over 200 countries with 1.4 million members worldwide. She said their club, which was established in 2017, has focus areas and it concentrates on hunger, vision, childhood cancer, diabetes and environment. “This organisation aims to source out the need within communities and assist where possible to promote betterment,” she added. According to her, a president does not carry unique duties, and merely aims to see to
it that the 23 members of the club perform their expected tasks. The event that took place at Tuscany Gardens in Rylands East was attended by Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith and for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien. Badroodien said he felt honoured to attend the induction event and hoped that it would create better interactions with the community. “It was a great pleasure to attend. I look forward to the conversations and partnerships that will come out of the networking opportunities,” he said. The club also honoured Faldiela Casper who runs a safe house, House of Hope, in Hanover Park. House of Hope is a haven that houses orphans and abandoned children. She manages the facility which she runs from her house and funds the house from her pocket with help of friends. She was given the Louis Volks Humanitarian Award which is the most prestigious award to be granted at the Lion’s Club in South Africa. According to her, it was the first time that her work has been acknowledged.
A Kenwyn resident wants to uplift local small businesses and entrepreneurs by providing an equal opportunity to have a space to showcase their crafts and create awareness of their brands. Lameez Nicholas will be hosting a Retailers Hub event in Wetton next month. The 30-year-old, who currently works in the legal industry, started working on this project in January and said a lot of thought and research has gone into it. Nicholas became in tune with her creative side two years ago and started selling luxury branded items at a market. “I felt like this was the perfect time to put everything together and do this event,” she said. The aim of the Retailers Hub is to provide exposure and to create awareness about different products and designs in the community, she added. “I want everyone to succeed and have an amazing day. This event is so important because people are really passionate about their creations.” “I want to create possibilities for small businesses in communities.” Nicholas said it’s really a struggle for vendors to make a profit when they’re also paying for a space at a market.
“For example, an aunty who bakes brownies would pay R400 for a space at a market and most of the time she won’t make her money back.” “This event is an effort to uplift all the entrepreneurs in the community. I want all the businesses to be successful. It’s tough out there for the aunty who bakes brownies,” she added. Nicholas said this event is about interacting with people from the community and allowing entrepreneurs to distribute their business cards to the other residents in the community. It is open to everyone and is not limited to a certain age. “I want the grannies to come and buy a koesister from the aunty,” she added Nicholas hopes this event will foster relationships between families, communities and create bonds among vendors. “I am excited about this project as a lot of effort has gone into this event.” Nicholas said she hopes this event will be a success so that it could become an annual event for the community. It will take place on Sunday 1 September at the Ambiance Lifestyle Venue, ERF501 High Road, Turfhall Estate in Wetton.

Mayor encourages women SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
“M
en, go and pay your Papgeld.” This was mayor Dan Plato’s strong and uncompromising message to the few men who were in attendance at a Women’s Day event hosted at Dulcie September Civic Centre in Athlone on Wednesday 14 August. The event, which is an annual affair, was organised by the City council in a bid to celebrate women and the role they play in the community. Themed “Be Bold, Step up and Speak Out”, the event was attended by women from various areas in Cape Town. They were invited by the council and each one of them cracked the invite because of the community work they do. Keeping the attendees awake and captivated with his jokes, Jamayne Andrews was the master of ceremonies. The event was opened with a prayer. Ward 49 councillor, Rashid Adams welcomed the guests. He gave them a brief history about the woman the venue is named after. He explained the importance of knowing who September was as the celebration was about women. “She was one of the first students to attend Athlone High School – an activist who fought the struggle. It is, therefore, an honour for me to welcome each and every one of you wonderful people. Enjoy the rest of the evening,”
he said. When Plato took to the podium to deliver the keynote address, he congratulated women for the great work they do. He said the event had a significant meaning as it was celebrating significant people. “It is a special occasion. We want to give women something special. Something they can enjoy,” he explained. He went on to touch on a variety of community issues. He condemned the killings of innocent people. He called on the community to come together and fight against the killings. He urged mothers to be honest about their sons who are committing crimes. He relayed an incident in Delft where a boy allegedly shot and killed another. When Plato went into the house with police, he said the mother claimed her son had been in the house the entire day. He said as the mother was covering up for her son, police saw a gun hidden between her breasts. The son pretended to have been sleeping even though he had his shoes on. He also encouraged mothers to support and encourage their sons to finish school. By so doing, they will succeed, he promised. He advised the attendees to use his grandmother’s principle of behaving well. “My grandmother used to say, even if you are poor, you can be polite. Even if you are poor, you do not have to join gangsterism,”
he shared. The event was a fusion of entertainment and meals. To keep them rejuvenated, was Saalim Ishmail who serenaded them to the sounds of songs such as “You Raised Me Up.” Enjoying themselves were Margaret Olain and Joan Leukes, Manenberg and Athlone residents. They said they were delighted to be part of the event that is celebrating them as women. Olain thanked the City for the opportunity. She said it was a great opportunity that many people wish for but they did not get. She spoke briefly about challenges they face as women. “Some of us raise children as single parents but that should not make us to want to give up in life. Opportunities like today help us, motivate us to do something for our lives,” she said. For Leukes, the gathering helped her to mingle and make new friends. She commended the team that organised the event by saying she was impressed with the setup. She said some of the challenges women face are that of safety and said she was impressed with how involved women are in their communities. “I want to say to all the women out there, thank you for working tirelessly, in a positive way. Promoting health and considering the safety of children and other women,” she said.

Brief escape from harsh realities SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
A
group of residents was given the chance to relax and take a break from their everyday worries in celebration of women. Women and a few men from surrounding areas attended an inaugural Women’s Day event at the Institute of Shari’ah Studies centre in Heideveld on Saturday 10 August. The event was organised by the Manenberg and Heideveld Community Building Team (MHCBT). MHCBT is a non-profit organisation (NPO) launched in 2018 after realising the need for an organisation to rescue youth from a life of drugs and gangsterism. The organisation facilitates community events and activities aimed at keeping youth and parents occupied and away from the lure of drugs. The intimate event, hosted by the NPO, treated senior women and men to a meal and entertainment provided by a local dance group. A few community speakers also gave motivational talks. Chairperson for the NPO Moegamat Allie Mansoor says the event aims to give back to adults, especially women. It also seeks to show appreciation for the wonderful work they do at home with their grandchildren, he adds. He says there isn’t anything political behind or a deeper meaning attached to the event, it is simply a means to celebrate women and the role they play in their families and the community. “They should have a sense of there is a person in the community who cares about them,” he says. Also in attendance was Ebrahim Joseph,

the principal at Easter Peak Primary School, a school in the area. He says it is important for local schools to be involved in the activities in the area. According to him, the majority of learners who attend his school are looked after by grandparents. These grandparents are the same ones attending the event. He says he was there to motivate and thank them for the work they do in raising and guiding their grandchildren. “When we send letters to invite parents to the school, it is always the grandparents who show up.
“We saw it fit that I attend the event to let them know how important they are in the education of their grandchildren,” Joseph explains. He says there is a huge drop-out rate in Grade 7. The event is another opportunity for him to ask grandmothers to motivate their grandchildren to finish school. “We need to encourage them to stay in school because there are a lot more opportunities for them now than there were when we were their age,” he explains. Enjoying the event were Angela Davids, Dora Figland and Frances November. They
are all Heideveld residents. They say they appreciate the gesture by MHCBT. According to them, the event helps them to catch up and to forget about the stress their grandchildren place them under. “My heart is sore, disciplining children these days is hard. Our grandchildren do not appreciate what we do for them. So we are here today to have fun and to be free,” says Davids. She also complains about shootings and gangs in their neighbourhood. Something, she says, that gives them nightmares.

Entrepreneurship the key to jobs DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
T
he unemployment rate in the City of Cape Town is currently at 21.8%, 0.6 of a percentage point more than in the first quarter of the year. This was indicated in the quarterly labour force survey released by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) on Tuesday 30 July. The number of unemployed people in Cape Town increased by 16 000, while employment increased by 5 000 in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter. The report covers the time frame between April to June 2019 and is a household sample survey conducted by Stats SA. It collects data on the labour market activities of individuals aged 15 years and older who live in South Africa. In the City of Cape Town, the response rate of the survey was 86.9% The survey indicates the labour force in Cape Town at 2 030 000 of all age groups, of which 1 589 000 persons are employed and 442 000 are unemployed. A further 923 000 are economically not active while 14 000 represents discouraged work-seekers. Of particular concern to the City of Cape Town is the unemployment rate for persons between 15 and 24 years of age. According to James Vos Mayco member for economic opportunities, this figure was estimated at 44,7% for the first quarter of 2019. He believes youth entrepreneurship is a large part of the solution to reduce youth unemployment. “Youth unemployment continues to be problematic and current statistics paint a grim picture, but the solution lies in entre-
James Vos, Mayco member for economic opportunities is on a mission to create job opportunities for the youth. preneurship,” he says. “However, young people need not despair as opportunities abound for them to enter the world of entrepreneurship.” Vos recently visited the Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator, a national agency that focuses on addressing the high unemployment rate in SA. “Harambee sources candidates from a large pool of young people with high potential but limited work experience. “It assists them to become work-ready and then through its website connects them to
the correct employer in their area,” he explains. To date, the organisation has placed over 500 000 young people with more than 450 of South Africa’s top companies such as Hollard, Standard Bank, Nando’s, Pick n Pay and Burger King. “Those interested in joining the network can visit harambee.mobi and follow the steps provided. “My advice to young people is to consider entrepreneurship as a career. “This means to tackle the challenges of
unemployment instead of looking for a job in a market that offers very limited opportunities and that face extreme economic pressures.” In turn, entrepreneurs will also be able to create jobs for others and in this way reduce the rising level of unemployment. “All it takes to get started as an entrepreneur is the right attitude, drive, energy, creativity and perseverance. Vos personally encourages private companies and potential employers to get involved by hosting unemployed individuals for workplace experience opportunities. In addition to this, the City is injecting cash into those sectors that promise the most growth, which includes, among others, the clothing and tech industries. “The focus of these projects will be on skills development. “But government alone cannot create job opportunities.” “While we do as much as we can, we need the private sector as partners in this journey to eradicate youth unemployment,” Vos says. Local entrepreneur Neels Kleynhans says: “If you have an idea, you have to make a decision and get things rolling.” A year ago, he started a sauce business in his garage, and today his Moer op Als sauce is distributed in towns countrywide. At first, he did everything himself – from making the sauce, bottling it, sticking on the labels, marketing and delivering. By November last year, he had secured a producer who assisted with production and the business is growing by the day. “Think carefully about what will make your product unique before you start,” Kleynhans said in his advice to budding entrepreneurs.

Joint effort result in arrest A 27-year-old man was arrested by the police’s k9 unit and national intervention unit after a 9mm pistol, a magazine and 15 rounds of ammunition were found in his possession. The arrest was made on Wednesday 7 August in Grasmere Street, Athlone. Officers responded to a complaint about an armed robbery. When they arrived at the address, several suspects tried to evade the police, but one was apprehended on a field close to the N2. He has appeared in the Athlone magistrate’s court on charges of illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Reckless driving can see your claim rejected I
nsurance won’t apply in cases of illegality and reckless behaviour The implications of driving under the influence of alcohol, without a valid driver’s licence or reckless driving can be profound – all can lead to an outright rejection of your insurance claim if there is an accident and damage or loss of property. Far worse, it can lead to a criminal record, serious injury or a tragic loss of life. The ombud for short-term insurance has seen a 48% increase in complaints since 2017 for claims rejections where policyholders have not exercised due care to prevent a loss. Many of these relate to driving under the influence, reckless driving and excessive speeding. “The reality is that insurers are there to pay valid claims due to sudden and unforeseen circumstances – any scenario where there is proven recklessness could see your claim rejected for failing to take due care to prevent loss. Insurers are able to back up such claim rejections with technology such as vehicle telematics reports which show the speed of the vehicle just before impact, accident reconstruction experts and eyewitness reports if they believe the cause of the claim is related to illegal or reckless behaviour. Getting behind the wheel of a car when you are over the legal alcohol limit, under the influence of narcotics, talking on your phone while driving without a car kit or driving at excessive speeds – all of which are illegal behaviour – would see insurers well within their rights to reject claims on this basis if proven,” explains Mandy Barrett of insurance brokerage and risk advisors, Aon South Africa. “The financial implications are huge – not only will you face the costs of own damage if Mandy Barrett.
the claim is rejected due to reckless driving, but you will also be responsible for the costs of any third-party damage. Even more concerning is the fact that if there is a personal liability claim by a third party involved in an accident with you, you may become legally liable to pay for financial loss, physical injury, disability or death of a third party. The personal legal liability cover typically embedded in your personal motor insurance policy will not respond if your claim is rejected, and you’ll be left to fund any legal defence costs and claims awards from your own pocket,” warns Barrett. “We all know that life gets crazy, that pressures get to us and that we get frustrated on the roads. Speeding, taking calls while driving and having to deal with an increasing number of drivers who have no regard for the rules of the road gets overwhelming. But always bear in mind the financial consequences if your insurance claim is repudiated on the grounds of your actions. “If you have consumed alcohol, do the right thing and get a driving service to get you home safely, as well as other road users. Don’t speed and respect the rule of the road and other road users – arriving alive and safe is way more important than trying to make up five minutes of lost time, or texting something which can wait until it is safe to do so,” concludes Barrett. A professional broker can add tremendous value in the advice process and guide you towards a thorough understanding of the terms and conditions of your cover and your responsibilities as part of a two-way contract with your insurer.

The leading digital city on the continent It gives me great joy to see Cape Town being named as Africa’s leading digital city. We offer a place for innovation with the necessary infrastructure and tools to grow as a tech hub. This is a reflection of our government’s commitment to creating an environment conducive for job creation, leading to many continuing to see Cape Town as an opportunity city. The hard work of the City and its partners are highlighted in the 2018 state of Cape Town central city report which is compiled by the Cape Town Central City improvement district (CCID). Among the successes, Cape Town’s economic centre contributes nearly three-quarters of the gross domestic product (GDP) in the Western Cape. Numerous international businesses have set up shop in Cape Town, with nearly R5 billion in foreign direct investment. CCID chairperson, Rob Kane said: “Cape Town has emerged as Africa’s leading tech hub with the city employing more people in the sector than anywhere else on the African continent. “To this end, the city, and the CBD, has geared itself to accommodate an emerging digitally savvy population that requires a business environment that offers good broadband connectivity, co-working spaces, accessibility and quality of lifestyle. “We are thankful for the hard work done by the officials in our enterprise and investment department as well as investment agency, Wesgro and entities like Cape Town Tourism.” The City has invested more than R1 billion into the development of a telecommunications network to provide data connection to various City locations. The broadband project is a multi-year
capital project to build a metro area telecommunications network serving the needs of the City and the residents and businesses of Cape Town. It is expected to be completed next year and has so far connected 300 City-owned buildings with broadband access. The City’s Connect pilot project aims to enable the connection of high-speed fibre to 1000 commercial buildings in the CBD. With this mission of creating the right conditions for employment, it must be noted that for the 2018/19 financial year, R2.7bn worth of investment was facilitated by the City’s strategic business partners and special purpose vehicle (SPV) companies that are supported by the City to grow investment, job creation and skills development. These initiatives created 4 764 jobs and provided skills training to 2 109 individuals during the City’s past financial year (ending in June 2019). Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management, James Vos says the City’s enterprise and investment department has prioritised support to the tech sector to support enterprise development, mentorships programmes, skills development and training programmes for the ICT industry. These interventions also help to boost the attractiveness of Cape Town as a tech destination, stemming the loss of professional skills and attracting inward investment, facilitating job creation and prosperity through tech. Our biggest challenge remains providing housing to an expanding number of residents. Keeping these successes in mind, we realise that more needs to be done to improve the lives of our residents and help them access opportunity. DAN PLATO, Executive mayor: Cape Town
More can be done to keep city safe through policing partnerships We are nearly five weeks into the deployment of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), and residents on the Cape Flats are rightfully beginning to question the impact of the deployment in their communities. Murder rates remain high and patrols reportedly last no longer than three hours at a time. It is imperative that we are provided with further information on the deployment plans and tactics of the SANDF, but this information is kept from us. National police minister, Bheki Cele, has boasted that this intervention has resulted in high levels of police visibility in the most gang-afflicted communities, the confiscation of illegal firearms and the arrests of over 1 000 individuals with outstanding warrants of arrest. Having said that, it is concerning that these arrests have not resulted in charges and convictions. I have been informed that the majority of those arrested were released within 72 hours due to detective services’ failure to positively link the arrests to crimes and/or to complete the requisite investigations. I, therefore, urgently call on Cele to make use of my department’s court watching briefs unit to track arrests made during the deployment, and to ensure they lead to the successful prosecution of guilty parties. Additionally, the transport management centre (TMC) in Goodwood is a valuable resource that has been availed for 24-hour use by police who have not used it optimally in this regard. As I have highlighted before, our criminal justice system is held hostage
by the poor state of detective services and the police. Ultimately, detectives are responsible for gathering evidence for criminal cases. The quality of their work determines whether a case is solved or dropped. Unfortunately, not only are there resource shortages and a lack of training among our detectives, but our detectives are also completely overburdened. More than ever, we need the police detective services to step up and ensure that criminals are prosecuted. The Western Cape government has reiterated countless times that the deployment of the SANDF will not in itself defeat crime in the province and that the deployment should be accompanied by an array of developmental programmes. We must all work together to overthrow the empires of organised crime that plague our province. The ability of gangs to rule through fear, intimidation and murder can only be stopped if all spheres of government, law enforcement, the criminal justice system and communities work together. I further call on the good citizens of this province to continue making use of the Illegal Firearms Hotline which can be contacted on 078 330 9333. There is a reward of R10 000 to individuals who provide accurate information on the illegal distribution of firearms. Under my leadership, the department of community safety remains committed to using every tool at its disposal and working with all communities and each stakeholder to make the province safer. ALBERT FRITZ, Provincial minister for community safety

he Cape Town leg of the National Futsal League (NFL) takes place on Friday 23 August and Saturday 24 August at the Sunningdale and Proteaville facilities in Table View, respectively. Six teams from around the country; Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape will do battle in the fourth leg of the South African Indoor Football Association (Saifa) sanctioned event. The junior futsal teams from the Cape Town Premier Futsal League (CTPFL) will play in a series of matches on Saturday in the lead up to the main event later in the evening. Girls and boys teams from Athlone, Bellville, Bishop Lavis, Brooklyn, Cape Town, Goodwood, Mitchell’s Plain and Woodstock will represent the CPFL, which was re-launched earlier this year. President of Saifa, Poobalan Govindasamy says: “Futsal in South Africa has grown in leaps and bounds and continues to grow with the efforts of our various regional associations and other stakeholders,” he says. He adds that more teams can be added to the NFL in future seasons, as not all nine provinces are currently being represented in the six-team league. “The three KZN teams have lead the way in futsal and it’s optimistic to see the efforts in the Cape to develop the game. Thank you to the hard work and dedication of the members of the Futsal Association of Cape Town (FACT),” he says. Meanwhile, Fact chairperson Richard Fortune says the Cape Town branch of Saifa hosts the CTPFL, which is in its seventh week of competition. He adds that two new associations have been established in the region: Atlantis Futsal Association and Bishop Lavis Futsal Association, with Manenberg and Lavender Hill Futsal Associations in the process of registering. “Our aim in Cape Town is to grow the

game of futsal through all the local football associations as we are an associate member of South African Football Association (SAFA) Cape Town. “We currently only have a senior league, but have junior leagues running with various clubs in Cape Town. The official junior league will be launched in 2020 from u.8 to u.19. We will also launch the masters leagues for o.35 and o.45 as the demand is high for retired outdoor football players wanting to keep fit and stay active,” says Fortune. The top four teams of the Cape Town Futsal League will represent Cape Town and the Western Cape in a club tournament hosted by the Gauteng Futsal Association from Friday 29 November – Sunday 1 December in Johannesburg. Fixtures: Friday 23 August (at Sunningdale indoor hall): Young Natalians (KwaZulu-Natal) v Tshwane City (Gauteng) – 16:30; Ethekweni City (KwaZulu-Natal) v Maritzburg Hotspurs (KwaZulu-Natal) – 18:30; Cape Town Titans (Western Cape) v OBC Chicken (Free State) – 20:30 Saturday 24 August (at Proteaville indoor recreational facility): Youth festival: u.14: Bishop Lavis v Samba Fives (Mitchell’s Plain) – 12:00 u.10: Mustangs (Athlone) vs Futsal 4 All (Mitchell’s Plain) – 12:30 u.12: T4C (Woodstock) vs Mustangs – 13:00 u.12: Futsal 4 All v Falcons (Goodwood) – 13:30 u.10: Cape Town Titans v Mustangs – 14:00 u.14: Mustangs Girls v BSD Girls (Brooklyn) – 14:30 NFL: Tshwane City v Ethekweni City – 16:30; Maritzburg Hotspurs v OBC Chicken – 18:30; Young Natalians v Cape Town Titans – 20:30 V For more information contact Fact general secretary, Donavan Petersen, on 062 271 3570 or send an email to capetownfutsal@gmail.com.
