Choirs compete for Top 8 AVRIL FILLIES AVRIL.FILLIES@MEDIA24.COM
E
ight Malay choirs will compete in the Top 8 competition of the Cape Malay Choir Board to be held in the Velodrome in Bellville on Saturday 14 March. In the past three weeks, 16 choirs competed for the privilege to progress to the final. Over the weekend, the last two qualifiers were determined and the names of the choirs who made it the Top 8 will be announced lat-
er this week. On Saturday 22 February, Legends, Rangers, Young Men and Studente competed in Section 1. On Sunday 23 February, Hamadias, Marines, Strelitzia and Ottomans were in action in Section 2 and on Saturday 29 February, Cabelleros, Modern Boys, Young Zinnias and Boarding Boys challenged each other. On Sunday 1 March, Angeliere, Parkdales, Primroses and Manhattans competed. “The Cape Malay Choir Board was established in 1939 when a band of far-seeing men met at 77 Wale Street in Cape Town. The result of this meeting was the formation of the
Cape Malay Choir Board which started with eight choirs and grew rapidly through the years to include the 34 odd choirs under its jurisdiction today,” says Shafick April from Athlone, president of the Cape Malay Choir Board. This historic meeting was the culmination of months of discussion and deliberations following on the success of a concert organised by the late Dr ID du Plessis and the late Bennie Osler, in the City Hall in 1938. “The idea of establishing a central organisation to foster and promote the traditional singing of the Cape Malay community was
realised and birth was given to a vibrant baby named the Cape Malay Choir Board. “Having weathered many storms and overcome the initial teething problems, the Cape Malay Choir Board is today the largest multi-national organisation of its kind in the country,” April says. The choirs compete in different categories, namely: combine chorus, Afrikaans, comic song (moppie), Dutch song and a solo item. Trophies are awarded in each category to the winning choir or soloist. The oldest choir is Young Men Sporting Club from Mitchell’s Plain.

Office renders various services to the needy AVRIL FILLIES
S
taff at the Athlone district advice office in Springbok Street, Kewtown are dedicated to provide services to the broader community. The geographical areas they cater for are: Kewtown, Bridgetown, Gleemoor, Silvertown, Parktown, Gatesville, Rylands, Sunnyside, Belgravia Estate, Bonteheuwel, Heideveld, Manenberg, Hazendal Vygieskraal and Athlone central. The office was established by members of the then Athlone north branch of the ANC in 1992 and was then known as the ANC Athlone north advice office. The idea was to address issues affecting communities ridden with poverty, high crime, unemployment, substance abuse and injustice. “The advice office has since changed its name to the Athlone District Advice Office and became a non-political structure serving the Cape Flats. “Today we are a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, who continue to provide a crucial service of access to justice to our vulnerable and marginalised community in our area. This we do through the promotion of human rights, the Bill of Rights and also the education of our Constitution,” says Brian Alcock, project director. The services rendered at the office include free legal advice and assistance, unfair labour practice including UIF claims, housing issues as well as unlawful eviction. “We assist with social security to apply for grants and pensions, help with di-
vorce proceedings, wills and estates, as well as children’s rights and education. “Other services are helping with consumer-related issues, credit contracts, woman’s right issues and domestic violence,” he says. On Wednesday 26 February the office hosted a Sassa (South African Social Security Agency) workshop. “This is a poor, disadvantaged community and the assistance and legal advice to woman, children and the physically challenged are our specific objectives,” Alcock says. Special programmes to empower the youth and the elderly are also organised by the office. “The workshops are held to educate members of the community, especially relevant issues such as HIV/Aids and the youth at risk. We assist residents in finding employment. We also offer other services, and to access these, residents should visit the office,” he says. “The office has a close working relationship with community leaders and role players as well as with all or most support centres. They are the department of justice, labour, social development, Justice Centre, office of the consumer protector, Cape Law Society, Athlone housing office, family courts and maintenance office, to name a few,” Alcock says. The office hours are Mondays to Thursdays from 10:00 to 19:00, Fridays from 09:00 to 13:00 and Saturdays from 09:00 to 12:00.

Gender-based violence highlighted in musical The Bridgetown Theatre Company is restaging their popular musical drama Youth Capture at several schools until Friday 20 March to highlight gender-based violence. “Due to public demand as well as our duty as a theatre company, our talented performers will educate, inform and impart knowledge to our communities,” says Zelda Hintsa, spokesperson for the company. The musical was performed to over 30 000 people last year and will be staged at no cost at several schools, colleges and universities this year. “The musical is a 40 minute (one school period) professionally staged theatre pro-
duction. It deals with topics/themes that are relevant to our audiences and told in contemporary idioms that they can identify with. “Together with a feet stomping and hand clapping original sound track, the drama uses a mixture of slam poetry, rap, hip hop dance and singing as a form of communication,” she says. The musical deals with the topic of the girls and boys at risk due to a lack of selfconfidence. Another topic deals with violence against women and children. “The show is in the language of choice of
the specific learning institution that we perform at, whether in Afrikaans, English or Xhosa,” she adds. “After each show a question and answer session is held to ascertain if the audiences understood and learnt from the show,” she says. During the 10-minute interval, they have a talent show where the audience can showcase their talent in dance, drama and music and win a sponsored prize. V If any school, college or university, or community organisation wants to see the free show, call 082 536 3651. For more information you can visit their Facebook page.

Cricketers of yesteryear in action C
ricketers Nazeem White, Rodney Malamba, Lefty Ngece and Anwell Newman will for the first time in their cricketing careers don the Proteas colours. They can be seen in action in the first Over 50s Cricket World Cup in Cape Town. The tournament kicks off on Wednesday 11 March and the final will be on Tuesday 24 March at Newlands cricket ground. There are 11 cricketing nations participating in the over 50s tournament, including England, the West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, Pakistan, Wales, Namibia and Zimbabwe. Dave Callaghan is the captain of the South
African team. The tournament is being arranged by the Veterans Cricket Association of South Africa (VCASA), an ancillary member of Cricket South Africa (CSA) whose mission is to keep older cricketers in the game. “As headline sponsor last year, we had the opportunity to support the formation of veterans cricket in South Africa and by investing in this World Cup we can give back to a sport South Africans enjoy,” says Arthur Case, Evergreen Retirement Holdings brand ambassador. “We are calling on our communities to fill the stadiums as our cricket legends deserve our support.

portunity to see some of the greatest cricket players of South African and world cricket take the stage.” The SA veterans squad is being coached by fast bowler and legend Allan Donald and former Proteas internationals include Louis Koen, Pieter Strydom, Henry Williams and Alan Dawson. “The competitive edge is still there in our squad of 16,” said Callaghan, former EP and Proteas all-rounder. “Most of us who hit the ball well in our 20s and 30s can still hit it decently now. Those of us who bowled fast or medium have now turned to spin but there will be some sore bodies. “It’s a fantastic honour to be playing for an official South African team again. None of us imagined we would get this chance, especially a World Cup,” Callaghan said. “We have a strong team on paper and, I can assure you, the boys are already putting in extra work and loading up on their game time to make sure we’re in the best shape possible in March.” Tournament organisers have scheduled the pool matches at schools and cricket clubs around Cape Town from Langa to Stellenbosch, including Rondebosch and Wynberg, the old schools of Gary Kirsten and Jacques Kallis. The opening game between Wales and South Africa will be held at Cape Town Cricket Club (CC) on Wednesday 11 March, while defending champions Australia will tackle strongly fancied underdogs Zimbabwe at Claremont CC. Favourites, India and England, square off at Green Point CC, New Zealand will face West Indies at Rondebosch CC, while Sri Lanka tackle Canada and Pakistan face Namibia at Western Province CC. The third round will be played in and around the Cape winelands of Stellenbosch and Paarl, while the proud cricketing heritage of Langa Cricket Club will be recognised with the hosting of England and Pakistan in round five, as well as in two play-off fixtures. Almost 40 years after his retirement from the game, Barry Richards remains indisputably one of the greatest batsmen to have played the game. Selected by Sir Dave Callaghan in
Donald Bradman in his all-time World XI, Richards continues to feature in debate and discussion around the “greatest”. “I love the idea of continuing to play in your 50s, especially with the motivation of a World Cup,” Richards said. “If only it had been around when I was in my 50s! “It is a fantastic concept to keep the greater cricket family together and I’m extremely proud to be an ambassador for the tournament,” he says. “I’m looking forward to watching some close and competitive games.” Admission is free to all the games and more information is available on the website, www.over50scricket.com. The South African over 50s squad includes Dave Callaghan (Captain), Louis Koen, Alan Dawson, Pieter Strydom, Kenny Jackson, Dave Holgate, Anwell Newman, Neil Fusedale, Rodney Malamba, Mlungisi ‘Lefty’ Ngece, Dave Duncan, Bruce Wilson, Warne Rippon, Brad Player, Nazeem White and Henry Williams.

CAPE TOWN CARNIVAL
Collaboration and creativity flow SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS SAMANTHA.LEE@PEOPLESPOST.CO.ZA @SAMANTHA_LEE121
W
ith enough frills, glitter, sequin, paint and everything in between to line the entire fan walk, the production of the costumes and floats for this year’s Cape Town Carnival are well under way. With a conscious mind of the environmental impact that an event of its magnitude can have, this year sees the team reusing as much as possible while creating the thousands of costumes and props that will be on display. In its 11th edition, the Cape Town Carnival will light up the streets in an explosion of colour and sound in keeping to the “Incredible journey: sounds of South Africa” theme. From a giant eland representing the contributions of the first artists – the San, to the traditional ‘big lady’ redressed in a funky

hairstyle, you can expect to see it all – even a gigantic bust of Nelson Mandela all accompanied by 2 000 ecstatic and energetic performers dressed in traditional regalia. This year’s carnival takes place on Human Rights Day, Saturday 21 March along the 1.2km of the Green Point Fan Walk, and organisers expect more than 50 000 people to turn up. Hundreds of workers are busy behind the scenes. Some of them are students who have volunteered their time to put together the show. Levern Dewee is one of them. “The carnival has become such a part of our lives that I cannot imagine my life without it now,” says Dewee. Brad Baard, creative director of the Carnival, says: “South Africa is known worldwide for its rich texture of cross-culture influences – we’re a country with 11 official languages, after all – so it’s little wonder that this year’s theme, which showcases the nation’s incredibly diverse cultures through music,

song, dance and art, will offer up an almighty pattern of interwoven colour, sound, creativity and captivating energy.” Some of the costumes worn by the lead performers will be a traditional Zulu bridal gown, and cultural Xhosa, Ndebele and Sesotho clothing. Baard explains: “The costumes is an acknowledgment of the longevity of cultural influences.” Angela MacPherson, head of float-building for the Carnival, says this year they have gone bigger and better. “Our aim has always been to create joy and unity through creativity, so our workshop activity is particularly evident of the collaboration needed to bring the floats, costumes and puppets to life,” she says. Professor Rachel Jafta, chair of Cape Town Carnival Trust, says the extravaganza creates a great sense of confidence. “What’s beautiful to see is how this process instils a wonderful sense of confidence, pride and purpose in these young people.
Sandiso Racula and Zoleka Mlombile create headdresses.
They leave here with their eyes wide open and their imaginations alive,” says Jafta. Expect to see something different as well with a 50s inspired dance number aboard a float that represents the pulsating Saturday night Sophiatown beer halls and world-famous black South African singers and musicians. Chante Wildeman, lead performer who will be bringing this float to life alongside Unathi Makhambi, says it is a great honour to celebrate this era through dance. “To bring this music alive again after all these years is amazing,” says Wildeman. “This was to them what house music is to us today,” she says. She added that the celebration shows that “we got our soil in us” and that we are all connected through culture, music and dance. “It’s a tribute to our incredible South African music and the energy of that era, infused with traditional African sound and the influence of visiting American musicians – it’s a float that reflects the energy of creativity responding to challenging times,” says Baard. The show will be closed out with the AfroFuture float which represents a vision of what the city of tomorrow could look like. “What the wonder of AfroFuture typifies – as does this year’s overall theme – is that with our incredible diversity, massive talent and potential, South Africa has everything we need to build an amazing future together,” says Baard. People’s Post is one of the media partners of the event. The Cape Town Carnival is a free-to-view public event however seating packages are available.

Kramer’s new musical returns to the Baxter for short season Those who still regret not catching David Kramer’s new musical Danger in the Dark when it first hit the stage late last year, will be glad to hear that it will return to the Baxter Theatre for a short season. Based on Shakespeare’s Othello, this production is a reworking of the hit musical Poison which Kramer and the late Taliep Petersen wrote in the 90s, originally produced by Renaye Kramer. The reworked version has been met with rave reviews and most recently it received four Fleur du Cap nominations for Best Performance by a Lead Actor in a Musical (Elton Landrew), Best Performance by a Lead Actress in a Musical (Rushney Ferguson), Best Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Musical (Eldon van der Merwe and Tashreeq de Villiers) and Chad Baai was nominated as Most Promising Student. The winners will be announced on Sunday 22 March at The Baxter. Set in the underbelly of the Cape Flats, the story unfolds in 1995, when Pamela, a social worker, meets up with Juanita, a friend from her school days. Soon she realises that Juanita is trapped in an abusive relationship with a drug lord and she is desperate to help her friend escape. Pamela is drawn into dark and dangerous places and situa-
tions, yet she perseveres against all odds, for the safety and survival of her friend. Kramer has assembled a stellar creative team and cast of eight lead performers with a chorus of 14, who play a variety of roles, accompanied by a live band. The ensemble is led by Alexis Petersen (Langarm) as Pamela, Rushney Ferguson (District Six – Kanala!) as Juanita, Loukmaan Adams (Aunty Merle, The Musical) as Michael, Elton Landrew (Kat and the Kings) as Poison, Eldon van der Merwe (Fiela se Kind) as Chicco, Tashreeq de Villiers (Satin to Sequins) as Lucky, Edith Plaatjies (King Kong) as Mrs Joseph and Chad Baai (Spring Awakening) as Shawn. Directed by David Kramer with assistant director Grant van Ster, the acclaimed creative team is made up of Camillo Lombard (musical director), Patrick Curtis (set and lighting designer), David Classen (sound designer), Widaad Albertus (costume designer), Kirsti Cummings (videographer) with choreography by Shaun Oelf and Grant van Ster.

Sevens is Ashley’s livelihood AVRIL FILLIES
T
o be part of a great bunch of young men representing a nation with much pride and determination, is the most fulfilling for Ashley Evert, manager of the SA Sevens team. “They are working out their balance in life and sport and are always willing to learn and take advice,” he says. The Wynberg resident is part of the management of the Blitzbokke since 2012 when he was recruited by former coach Paul Treu, after Sebastian Prim was promoted to high performance manager. “Paul needed someone to take over from Sebastian and due to my coaching and technical analysis experience I seemed like the right fit. So I joined the Blitzboks in September 2012,” Ashley says. He grew up on the KZN South Coast, went to high school in Pietermaritzburg and obtained an honours degree in sport science, masters in human movement science and doctorate in human movement science. He relocated to Cape Town after

his appointed as performance manager for the team. “The best part of the Sevens is competing and measuring yourself against the best in the world. The saddest part is being away from my family for long periods. I have so little time at home, that I don’t have hobbies but prefer spending as much time with my family. I enjoy golf, but don’t have enough time to play,” he says. For Ashley there is no off-season as he always has work to do. “During the HSBC Series I am always planning and busy with ‘the next’ tournament. I enjoy all the cities in which we play because of their uniqueness. I don’t dislike any city, it’s a privilege to be able to catch a small part of each country or city we visit.” This year marks his eighth season with the Blitzboks. “Of all the teams on the circuit that I admire, it must be the USA. It has been incredible to see how the players in the USA team have developed and grown over the past couple of years to where they were last season, finishing second on the World

Series.” He adds: “Players like Ben Pinkelman and Steven Tomasin came onto the circuit with very little international experience and have truly grown into world class players,” Ashley says. On the circuit the managers, conditioning coaches and coaches interact with each other. “Life is about relationships, even though we compete as nations against each other, there is always a common thread of humanity and kindness. As an academic, coach and sport scientist, I have built up relationships not only with the team managers, but also the other disciplines in order to continue to evolve in these disciplines,” he says. Ashley’s goal for 2020 is to grow spiritually. “I want to be the best husband I can be and the best father I can be. To juggle my family and professional lives, I make every moment count and be present in every moment,” Ashley says. He describes himself briefly as a man of God, reliable, trustworthy, a family man and disciplined.

Yankees climbs to the top NOORE NACERODIEN
W
estridge Yankees moved to the top of the Cape Town Softball Association women’s Super League table when they convincingly beat arch-rivals, the Falcons, 10-1 at the Turfhall Softball Stadium on Saturday 29 February. This, all while season leaders Lavender Hill, was on a break. Two great catches by Falcons stalwarts Lindsay Vercueil and Bettina Phillips were spoiled by some sloppy infield errors. Yankees started briskly when Nicole Williams cleared the boundary for a single home run. Speedster Kelly Julie crossed the plate in Falcons’ first turn at bat to equal the score. That was eventually all the resistance Falcons could offer the Yankees, who took 10 hits off Amy Minnies and Bettina Phillips. Williams (3-4), Natalie Abrahams (3-4) and Fayruz Adams (2-3) were the picks of the Yankees batters. Yankees is now three points clear of Lavender Hill, who enjoyed pole position
for most of the season. The two will clash in the final league game of the season on Saturday 14 March. Tantasport continued with their struggles this season when they went down 12-6 to Glenthorn A’s in the early game. Bottom of the table, Heideveld Yankees, meanwhile, managed to score three runs against Kenfac Phillies. Yankees, who already secured the Major League title and with one game to go, dropped only two points in a draw with Kuils River Cougars. All eyes are on the race for the men’s Major League title. Khayelitsha Eagles and Westridge Yankees are locked at the top of the table with 39 points each. The teams clash this week in the penultimate fixture. Moses Molaba and Wendall Solomons, the two leading pitchers for many years will be key to the title race. Results: Super League: Tantasport 6, Glenthorn A’s 12; Kenfac Phillies 16, Heideveld
