The peace ambassadors on the road from Hermanus to Stellenbosch.
LANSDOWNE
Learners cycle for peace AVRIL FILLIES
T
wenty-one learners from Groenvlei High School in Lansdowne cycled 450km from Suurbraak in the Overberg to the school’s premises from Saturday 1 February to Sunday 8 February as part of the Groenvlei Bilionetwork Challenge, a cycling initiative. The purpose of the challenge was fourfold: to test learners’ endurance, to spread peace and to raise funds for cancer awareness and the school. “Our school has been part of the peace ambassadors programme run by Prof Brian Williams since 2018. All of the learners who participated are peace ambassadors. Most of them live in communities affected by gangsterism and violence,” says Godfrey Hendrikse, a teacher and project coordinator. Hendrikse conceived the idea of pedalling for peace and cycling for cancer when the Groenvlei cycling club was established. The route started in Suurbraak and cut through different dorpies in the Overberg. “Coach Asad Jassiem and I worked with
the cyclists and those who attended training sessions were declared medically fit by an independent doctor,” Hendrikse says. The cyclists stopped off at various schools en route, handing over a peace message from Premier Alan Winde and stationery sponsored by the Aris Cancer Foundation. “Many of the schools we visited serve children from the surrounding farms who are bussed in to school. For me, the highlight was to witness our cyclists in action. Not only on their bikes but how they engaged in their outreach activations. I was struck by the level of awareness and sensitivity of our learners to the needs and challenges of the schools they visited. “They could easily draw parallels between their own circumstances back home with what they observed in these communities. I suppose the maturity displayed by our learners can be attributed to the peace programmes they attended. “All of the cyclists mentioned how much they want to return to the Overberg to give back and to help make a difference in these communities. They returned home with a
greater appreciation for what they have and more determination to continue with their peace mission,” Hendrikse says. Funds raised through sponsorships were shared, fifty-fifty, between the school and the Ari’s Cancer Foundation, which assists adolescents diagnosed with cancer. The learners, who also goes by the name Ari’s Angels, trained hard for six months and during the December holidays. “We partnered with Ari’s Cancer Foundation so that we could deliver stationery and sports equipment to the schools we visited. All the schools visited – the Kibbutz in Worcester, Net vir Pret in Barrydale, Suurbraak Primary, the Railton Foundation in Swellendam, Mullersrus Primary in Malagas, Albert Myburgh High School in Bredasdorp, Mispah and the Moravian Primary School in Elim – as well as the Hyundai dealership in Hermanus, a delegation from Swellenzicht and the deputy mayor of Swellendam, heartily welcomed the cyclists. They were supportive of our mission and greatly appreciative. Each reception – some complete with the rieldans or a brass band – was heart-
warming,” he says. For many, the breathtaking scenery was a highlight of the challenge. New mountains and slopes unfolded at each bend during the steady climb of the Tradouw Pass. Then there were the rolling green hills on the 59km stretch from Elim to Hermanus and, finally, the 91km route, with the sea on the left and a view of the bay from Rooi Els to Gordons Bay en route to Stellenbosch. These are South African gems the cyclists had not experienced before and will never forget. Another route that won’t easily be forgotten is the gravel road to Malagas. Not for its beauty, however, rather its toughness. The road was rutted in parts and the climb up the hills were long and punishing in a temperature of 36°C. Learners had to dig deep to survive mentally and physically. The 85km from Bredasdorp via Cape Agulhas to Elim, straight into a heavy head wind, also pushed cyclists’ limits. The team reached Elim exhausted but victorious. Having survived this challenge, they have the tools to overcome almost any obstacle. V Continued on page 2.

he Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) has over the years established good working relations with international organisations, mainly for the benefit of the community. Organisations with which they work with are: The Muslim World League, the Saudi Arabia International Union of NGOs of the Islamic World, the Turkey Hayrat Foundation in Turkey and the Indonesia University. “The above organisations partner with the MJC on various projects, from educational programmes locally as well as charity

Unfavourable weather conditions delayed the cyclists but the learners and staff waited patiently way beyond the school’s dismissal time. The cyclists also weren’t able to make it to the Moravian Primary School at the end of the school day, but learners sang a song and welcomed a representative who had driven ahead of the team.

work here in South Africa. The MJC remains busy throughout the year because its departments are busy as well. We receive various delegations both locally and globally. The month of Ramadhan is more intensive because the MJC has community outreach programmes,” says Zaid Dante, executive member of the MJC. Previously the MJC as an organisation had an Arabic and Islamic Studies Institute that offered courses/degrees to study. The institute partnered with another institute to form what now is the International Peace College of South Africa, or IPSA, as it is
known. The MJC, through its international partners, makes opportunities available for students to further their education when the opportunity presents itself. “We started our 75th celebrations on Friday 7 February with the Top Achiever Awards which is for schools registered with the Association of Muslim Schools (AMS) in the Western Cape. On Saturday 15 February we hosted the National Quran Competition at Masjid al-Khair in Mitchell’s Plain. The MJC intends on having programmes spread over the course of the year as part of the anniversary programme,” Dante says.
Later that evening, the cyclists delivered their letter and gifts to the principal at his home. The team also enjoyed the warm hospitality of Elim residents who opened their homes to the cyclists. The engagement with the Railton Foundation in Swellendam was another unforgettable experience. A group of local young cyclists (aged 11 to 17), led by a former Homeless Street Soccer Olympian, took the team on a 10km ride, both on- and off-road, through Swellendam.
“On single-cog PPA bikes – barefoot or or wearing slippers –they sped up the hills and almost outstripped us on our 9-gear bicycles. Their enthusiasm and talent showed us it’s not about the bike but the determination of the cyclist,” Hendrikse says. The final leg of the tour was from a Hyundai dealership in Stellenbosch to Groenvlei High in Lansdowne. The atmosphere was electric with excitement as learners from Heideveld High and Steenberg High, as well as adults, accompanied them home. “The welcome back at Groenvlei High with a marching band, emotional parents and a united community overwhelmed the cyclists as they filed into the school. Many were overcome with tears. Representatives of the education department, including the head of department Brian Schreuder, were also there to acknowledge the cyclists. “We, as the youth, must pay our good fortune forward. We have much to be grateful for,” says Jamie-Lee Gordon, a Grade 12 learner and one of the cyclists. On Sunday 8 March, 37 cyclists from Groenvlei will participate in the Cape Town Cycle Tour. On Sunday 22 March, the 21 Brave Hearts of the Overberg will join a group of Irish volunteers in a community house-build project in Vrygrond, organised by Blue Moon Projects. On Monday 1 June, the Community Chest will invite 22 cyclists from the school to join the Unogwaja Riders on Day 1 from Cape Town to Stellenbosch.

MJC celebrates 75th anniversary AVRIL FILLIES
T
he Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) not only celebrated its 75th anniversary on Wednesday 12 February in Cape Town but also honoured personalities who have contributed to the Muslim community on various levels. “The function was an expression of giving thanks to the Almighty for guiding the MJC all these years. We returned to the venue where the MJC was established 75 years ago. It was also an expression of harmonious coexistence with interfaith communities, something that is well established in the South African context. “The recipients who were honoured were Judge Siraj Desai, Sheikh M Amien Fakier, Dr Ali Adam and Sheikh Abdul Hameed Gabier,” says Zaid Dante, an executive council member in the MJC’s office of the secretarygeneral. The MJC was established on 10 February 1945 during a meeting that took place at the St George’s Cathedral hall in Cape Town. The Muslim Progressive Society, a group consisting of academics, members of the community as well as Muslim scholars, identified the need for an organisation like the MJC to see to the religious, spiritual and social needs of the Muslim community as well as a body that would be able to ensure and monitor the availability of halaal nutrition for Muslim consumption. “The need for Muslim marriages to be recognised was one of the core reasons for the establishment of the MJC. “Muslim education was a major priority and to provide formal Islamic education to Islamic schools or Madrasas was essential to the establishment of the MJC. Many of the challenges faced by the Muslim community at that time became issues the MJC was mandated to advocate on behalf of the Muslim community. “The initiative was also an opportunity to bring Muslim scholars together so that their efforts could be united for the benefit of the Muslim community,” Dante says. He says the MJC plays an important role in ensuring the Muslim voice remains relevant. “It is responsible to ensure that whatever spaces Muslims occupy, that it is conducive for their religious needs. “Unity is a major factor and the MJC was

The Muslim Judicial Council and members that were honoured for their contributions towards the Muslim Community at the 75th anniversary at St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town. instrumental in the establishment of the United Ulama Council of South Africa (UUCSA), a national body consisting of the major Muslim theological organisations or councils in South Africa.” Dante explains the MJC has various departments, each concentrating on a specific societal need. These include: . The Department of Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration which specifically deals with disputes that arise in the Muslim community, especially those on places of worship and educational institutions. . The Department of Quranic Affairs which deals with matters relating to Islam’s holy book, the Quran. . The Department of Social Development which deals with matters relating to marriage and divorce in the Muslim community. It also provides counselling on various issues such as marital and trauma. . The Department for Religious Decrees which deals with Islamic wills and estates, and delivers religious decrees where needed. . The Department of Education. The MJC established the Al-Azhar Institute of Cape Town which runs the Al-Azhar Pri-
mary and Secondary Schools. The MJC is also a founding member of the International Peace College of South Africa, IPSA. . The Women’s Forum which provides programmes for women in the Muslim community and highlights the plight of women. Dante says the MJC also assists in the process of identifying Muslim chaplains in the SA National Defence Force, the police and correctional services. It also focuses on environmental issues with the MJC Environmental Desk that ensures that the body is up to date with environmental affairs.
The executive council members are elected by the MJC general council members at an election every five years. At present, the executive council consist of Sheikh Irafaan Abrahams (president), Moulana Abdul Khaliq Allie (1st deputy president), Sheikh Riad Fataar (2nd deputy president), Sheikh Ishmael Gqamane, Dr Dawood Terblanche, Sheikh Faadil Abdul Latief, Sheikh Zaid Dante, Sheikh M. Ihsaan Taliep, Moulana Abdul Fattaag Carr, Dr Yusuf Arieff, Muallima Khadija Patel Allie, Sheikh Ebrahim Gabriels and Sheikh M Fadihl Emandien.

SAFETY
Appeal for protection of emergency personnel SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
T
he provincial department of health is calling on residents to support Emergency Medical Services (EMS) staff who risk their lives every day to save others. This comes after another attack on EMS staff, this time in Kewtown, on Thursday 23 January. “Public support will be crucial to the work performed by our EMS staff who render a critical health care service, and to keep them safe,” says the health department in a statement. Three attacks took place in a matter of days at the end of last month, prompting the department to call on residents for help. Premier Alan Winde says: “What kind of society are we living in when you have an emergency and you cannot be assisted and helped because you live in a red zone and the paramedics first need to wait for the police to escort them to you. We all know how precious time is when your mother has had a heart attack or someone is sick and needs help.” Winde says several thousands of people are affected by this, living in the 10 crime hot spots labelled as red zones including Khayelitsha, Tafelsig, Beacon Valley, Philippi and Manenberg. In the most recent attack, EMS staff responded to a call at 03:00 and were escorted to the patient’s home by the local police. Although the Kewtown area has not been

While inside the home of the patient, the ambulance’s window was forced open and a Lifepak 15 cardiac monitor, worth an estimated R300 000, was stolen from the vehicle. The other two incidents happened on Sunday 19 January. In the first incident a female paramedic sustained an eye injury after a stone shattered the ambulance’s windscreen in Ravensmead, in the early hours of the morning on their way to collect and transport a patient to Tygerberg Hospital. Later that day, paramedics were robbed

of their personal belongings while attending to a patient in Atlantis. The department says safety is everyone’s responsibility and that everyone should help keep safe those who stand in service of the people of the province. The role played by EMS staff is paramount, with more than 6 400 call outs in just one weekend in the province. The bulk of these calls were for assault, labour, respiratory, pain and accidents. Residents can show their support by sharing their messages and adding their name to the pledge. V Make your pledge at https://www.westerncape.gov.za/ems-pledge
Amnesty for unwanted, illegal firearms Anyone in possession of an unlicenced or unwanted firearm has until Sunday 31 May to hand it in at any participating police station. The initiative started on Sunday 1 December and within the first month, thousands of firearms and ammunition had already been handed in at police stations across the country. “As firearms are the instruments commonly used in the commission of crime, especially violent crimes, it is very encouraging that people have taken advantage of this amnesty period,” says Gen Khehla Sitole, national police commissioner, in a statement. By the end of December, 1 465 guns and 14 861 rounds of ammunition had been handed in. The firearms included 1 248 hand guns, 75 shotguns and 142 rifles. “While the majority of the firearms have been handed in for destruction, we have also received applications for the relicensing of firearms whose licenses have been terminated in terms of Section 28 of the Firearm Control Act for 264 firearms including that of 247 hand guns (revolvers and pistols), eight shotguns and nine rifles,” says Sitole. “People who are illegally in possession of firearms and ammunition are encouraged to take advantage of this amnesty period to hand over such guns without fear of prosecution. However, any person that

hands over a firearm that has been used in the commission of a crime will not enjoy such exoneration.” All firearms that have been or are being handed in will undergo ballistic testing to ensure that they have not been used in the
commission of a crime or crimes before they can be considered for destruction. The South African Police Service has made adequate provision for the safekeeping of all firearms handed in. . There are nine centralised storage facilities in all provinces which have been subjected to risk assessment. . Designated amnesty officials and police officials have been subjected to thorough screening and vetting, and only those that met the identified criteria have been appointed to handle amnesty firearms handed in. A detective investigative team has been established to investigate cases of firearms linked to crimes. When the amnesty period ends, firearms will be audited for the purpose of destruction. The process for the destruction of firearms will then be followed to destroy amnesty firearms, firearm parts and ammunition as it was done when the police smelted over 20 thousand illegal firearms on Tuesday 5 November last year. “We are confident that more people will come forward with illegal and unwanted guns given that during the festive period we have received this many guns so far,” says Sithole. V An inquiry desk at the Central Firearm Register call centre has been established to handle all enquiries related to the amnesty. Call 012 353 6111.
Verification process gets underway The provincial department of human settlements and the City of Cape Town, will embark on a housing demand database verification and registration drive across the City until April. The drive will be conducted on Saturdays and Sundays and will kick off in the southern suburbs on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 February. “As the drive is to ensure that citizens’ details on the housing demand database is accurate and up to date, your participation as an active cit-
izen is critical. This will assist us in ensuring that we have a comprehensive and credible database of all those who require assistance from government. “I encourage all residents within the Metro who need to register for the first time, verify or update their details on the housing demand database, to not miss this opportunity,” commented provincial human settlements minister Tertius Simmers. On Saturday the drive will be from 09:00 to 17:00 and on Sunday from 09:00 un-
til 14:00 at the following venues: •Grassy Park civic centre (corner 5th Ave and Victoria Rd); •Lavender Hill community centre (corner Hek Str and Grindle Ave); •Retreat community centre (corner Concert Blvd and Cradock Rd, Steenberg); •Rooikrans hall (corner Rooikrans Ave and Italian Rd, Grassy Park); •Pelican Park Hall (corner Beak and Francolin Rd, Pelican Park, on Saturday only).

HANOVER PARK
Community well-being is key AVRIL FILLIES
T
he well-being of the community in Hanover Park is key to the all-female Blomvlei Neighbourhood Watch. They not only assist in the community but also help at Athwood Primary School with the walking bus and in the class. The five members are Mildred Fritz, Claire-Ann Cupido, Faieka Johnson, Lynette Domingo and Sedieka Valentine. “At the school we have a good relationship with the teachers. When they are absent due to illness or unforeseen circumstances we phone them and supervise their classes. Some of the teachers would advise us to read to their class or see that they are doing their homework,” says Cupido. When personal or other stuff disappear at school, they would investigate and bring the culprits to book. “At night we do patrols and are familiar when newcomers are en-
tering our area. When one person in the community is going through a tough time, we try to be there for them. We even organise taxis if someone has to go to court or report crimes at the police station to show our empathy and sympathy,” she says. They get to the school early to check if all the learners, 600 in total, and teachers are present. A few years ago the provincial education department wanted to close the school and the community took charge by guarding and maintaining the school while the future of the school was being decided. “At night the men of Hanover Park would patrol the school premises and guard the school, and the women would do it during daytime. “To show the education department that we as a community is serious about the school in Hanover Park we planted flowers and grass and maintained it ourselves. When
the closing down was cancelled, the community was overjoyed and that is when we decided as a community to do everything in our power to keep the school open for our kids,” says Cupido. To be a member of any neighbourhood watch you have to undergo training. “We all completed our training in first-aid and fire-fighting. Currently we are using the first-aid training more as the learners are running around on the playground and hurt themselves. “The average age of the NHW members is 50 years and we never had the opportunity to complete our matric or study further. Being involved with the learners at Athwood is the closest we can be to teaching. We all encourage the learners to finish school and study further as they have all the opportunities and bursaries are available. When we were young, we never had the same opportunities and had to work to help raise our fami-
School bands gearing to go RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes On Sunday 1 March, Steenberg High School will play host to several school bands at the third annual C-Flat Youth Jazz Festival, organised by MusiqueLaine South Africa. MusiqueLaine SA was founded by Lainey Trequesser in 2013 to educate learners in music and to transform their lives. The project, which first began at Steenberg High School to serve children in and around the community, has since expanded its reach to include learners from
Westlake, Mitchell’s Plain and Stellenbosch University. The festival will take place at the Alstom Music Pavilion at the school. “Here we will showcase what our children do,” says Jo Francis, project manager for MusiqueLaine. Performing on the day will be the visiting French jazz orchestra, Orchestre National de Jazz ONJ; Stellenbosch University Jazz Orchestra; the Steenberg High School Wind Orchestra; and musicians from Gugulethu. In preparation for the festival and as part of the music pro-
grammes, Francis says: “We had a camp and a music clinic with guest speakers. They transferred the stories of how music impacted their lives to our children. And so it also gives our children the opportunity to have dreams and hope. Because they come from disadvantaged areas.” The constant fear of impending gang fights and shoot-outs cause the learners at most schools in the area to drop extracurricular activities and to return to the safety of their homes as soon as possible, she adds. But the music project has inspired children to get involved.

Francis says they can practice in the MusiqueLaine SA music hall, built by Newlands Rotary Club and Coca Cola Beverages SA, during their spare time and hone their skills after school during band practices. They are also allowed to take instruments from the project to their homes to perfect their skills. Charmaine Julius, a 17-yearold, Grade 12 learner at Steenberg High School, has been a member of the school’s senior band since Grade 8. Originally playing the tuba, the small-in-stature musician made the move to the trumpet and has since passed several professional music exams through Trinity College London. She practices daily except Fridays and says she is looking forward to the festival.
with Petersen is the annual event on 16 December when we feed and entertain 500 kids from the community on the school premises. This is the prelude to putting the learners into a festive mood,” Cupido says.
“It’s big. We had a jazz festival last year, but I think this year is going to be phenomenal because we are more experienced and the music is on another level,” she says. The 19-year-old Cowen Solomons, also a promising musician in Grade 12, says: “We’re expecting more audiences and other bands this year. “It’s going to be exciting and it’s better to hear other bands so that we can learn and progress.” Tickets cost R50 and proceeds will be fed back into the project to nurture the talents of Cape Town’s youth.

SIMON’S TOWN
African penguin rangers keep an eye RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
W
hile the tourist-attracting Simon’s Town African penguin population may be one of the most stable at present, the aquatic bird is still under huge threat of extinction with less than 3% of its original population remaining. Marian Nieuwoudt, the City’s Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, says the African penguin population has been steadily declining, with only 1 000 breeding pairs left on the Simon’s Town coastline. “They are listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).” Contributing to the decline are a number of factors, including reduced food sources due to overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, oil spills and chronic oiling, disturbances, and introduced and natural preda-
tors. Tourists and locals looking to have a moment with the birds also affect their habits and can prevent them from reproducing. “Penguins are susceptible to disturbance, especially during breeding. The peak season is January to March and molting season is from October to December. These seasons generally overlap with the peak tourism seasons in Cape Town,” explains Nieuwoudt “Penguins in molt are unable to go to sea for about 30 days as they replace their feathers. At this time, if they are disturbed and forced into the water, they are at risk of dying from exposure.” In addition, disturbances can prevent the penguins from returning to their nests, affecting the survival of their eggs or chicks as they become susceptible to attacks from predators. According to Nieuwoudt, the City of Cape Town and Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) have embarked on a project to manage the African penguin population in
a holistic manner in Simon’s Town. “To achieve this, we have partnered with the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (Sanccob) and the Cape Town Environmental Education Trust (CTEET) to employ penguin rangers,” she says. The rangers monitor the penguins daily; rescue sick or injured birds, eggs or chicks, stabilising them to be transported to the Sanccob rehabilitation facility in Table View; and remove penguins from areas where they may be at risk, for example, Main Road. According to the City’s records, in 2018 Sanccob had an 85% success rate in rehabilitating and returning birds to the wild. This year they have started a new project with the Dyer Island Conservation Trust, the Institute for Maritime Technology (IMT) and their project partners to install and test new artificial nest boxes. “Over the next few years, the penguin ran-

gers will monitor these boxes and record the breeding success rate of penguins utilising the boxes.” Nieuwoudt offers visitors to Boulders Beach some tips to help conserve the African penguin population: . Visitors, who approach birds too closely, will see them turning their heads. What is often associated with “cuteness”, is, in fact, a sign of distress. . Visitors should be respectful to the penguins’ territories and keep their distance at all times. Taking a selfie with a penguin is not cool. . Residents should keep their dogs on a leash and should respect areas were dogs are not permitted. . Be a responsible visitor and tread lightly in areas penguins inhabit. V Visitors who wish to assist with penguin conservation projects can donate to Sanccob or volunteer at its seabird rehabilitation centre.

INITIATIVE
Trying to change young lives AVRIL FILLIES
J
ill Levenberg, Mymoena in Suidooster, and Deidre Baaitjies, both from Kensington are trying to make a difference in the lives of the youth at risk by hosting free yoga and drama classes. “Kensington is where I grew up. I have a love for this community and a respect for those who are trying to make a difference and have been doing so for years. Very often people complain but I’ve sat in many a community meeting where those who have complained are not present to be part of the solution,” says Jill. She says she takes her hat off to those people who are giving back despite a lack of resources or support. “The nameless aunties who make pots of soup for the needy out of their own pockets or churches or mosques who put action behind their words. I know that despite criticism there are those who still volunteer their time in organisations like the CPF, for example, or friends of mine like Miles October who started Play Sport 4 Life and is active in the community even though he is no longer a resident.” She also commends Zahier Davids’ Fly Wheel bike initiative, working at his dream and vision for a bike park in the area, and Adrian Jochems and his family who’ve had the Christmas Band for years, to keep kids off the street. “These are just a few of the many wonderful people I know who are paying it forward. There are many challenges for the residents of Kensington but the obvious challenges are crime, drugs and people in the informal settlement waiting for housing,” Jill explains. Factreton, according to the star, often has shootings in the area where there are also challenges with gangsterism. “Deidre and I give free drama and yoga classes for the community on Saturdays at Factreton Hall at 163 Sunderland Street. Thanks to the prompt responses from Kevin Alexander and ward councillor Helen Jacobs, we were able to secure the space. My drama class is from 09:00 to 10:30 and Deidre’s yoga class is from 10:30 to 11:30,” she says. People from outside of Kensington as far as Brackenfell, Grassy Park and Bishop La-
vis attend the classes. “But we are not accessing our target group of youth at risk from Kensington and Factreton. So we are appealing to residents to send your teenagers. We also have adults attending who have spoken about improved fitness and decreased stress levels because of the classes.” Asked how her life has changed after the movie Ellen Pakkies, she says: “My life after the Ellen Pakkies film changed in the sense that I won a Safta (South African Film and Television Award) for best feature film actress in South Africa in 2019. I was also awarded the Silwerskermfees best actress award as well as winning best actress at the Taormina Film Festival in Italy.” Her life has also become a lot busier as she gives motivational talks. “And most of the time it takes longer to do my shopping when people recognise me,” she laughs. “People really have great feedback when they see me on the street and I’m grateful that they appreciate the work and that it affected change in some people’s lives. Similarities between my roles as Ellen and Moena are, they are both mothers with big hearts for their communities. Both strong matriarchs who carry on in spite of the odds and still get up every day to make a difference,” Jill says. Playing different roles challenges her as an actor, she explains. “My most recent role as Queenie in the play Queenie-hulle directed by Christo Davids was also a role I could get my teeth stuck into. In the story, Queenie was a former Spring Queen and now lives on the steps of the Good Hope Centre with other homeless people who Jill Levenberg.
have become family. I’ve recently been nominated for a Fiesta in the category Best Actress for the role of Queenie and we will be performing it at KKNK in March and Suidoosterfees in April,” she says. Her advice to young actors is to keep fit and keep working on your skill set. “Don’t be despondent if your castings are not successful, keep working at yourself and grab any opportunity to work to build up your portfolio. Create your own work and find your own voice, don’t try to copy anyone... find a way to use your unique personality to your credit. Always be humble and patient... remember Rome wasn’t built in a day,” Jill says. She enjoys film, television and theatre equally. They all demand a different kind of discipline and sharpen you in a different way, she says. “I enjoy the rapport with a live audience... the magic that hangs in the air when you perform live is tangible and very often after a show when people come up and talk to you and they are visibly moved, it makes you feel that you’ve made a difference in someone’s life. I also really love the stillness of film and immersing myself into another world.” But what she enjoys most is playing with and learning from other actors and directors in the industry It is difficult for Jill to make a choice between Hollywood actors she would love to play opposite as the female lead. “There are so many, but Viola Davis, Denzil Washington, For-
est Whittaker, Benicio del Toro and Meryl Streep are just a few that come to mind!” She is in your living room weekdays in Suidooster and what she admires of the soapy is the teamwork. “We are like a family and everyone from crew, writers, art, make-up and wardrobe all put their all into the product. I also enjoy working with my fellow actors... I enjoy the fact that we laugh and have so much fun at work,” she says. Her teenage crush overseas was Tevin Campbell and Ralph Macchio from Karate Kid. Locally she had many crushes but Bob Mabena is the one she remembers! I always admired him as a presenter and often thought he’d be “lekker” to work with. “If I can have a chat with the young Jill going to high school for the first time, I would tell her not to compare herself to others. Comparison is the thief of joy.” She also encourages girls to be strong, believe in themselves and remember bullies are insecure. “Speak to people close to you when you have issues, don’t bottle up everything and think you have to be strong on your own. Lastly, your school life will fly by... work hard and enjoy your youth because one day you’ll find yourself wanting that time to come back,” Jill says. She attended St. Johns Primary School in Kensington and recently was guest speaker at the school’s fundraiser. “I still have a good relationship with some of the teachers. I also went to Christian Brother’s College in Green Point which doesn’t exist anymore and for my last three years I went to Rhodes High School in Mowbray. I do still keep in touch with some school friends, it’s always good to be reminded of where you come from and to laugh or cry with good friends (old or new) when you look back at your life and how far you’ve come.” Her hobbies include running on the beach with her dog, swimming and collecting clothing and toys for the needy. “Gardening is one of my biggest passions as well as interior decorating, yoga, reading, cooking and entertaining,” Jill says.

Falcons, Phillies share spoils NOORE NACERODIEN
K
enfac Phillies and Falcons shared the spoils in their Cape Town Softball Association women’s Super League game played at the Turfhall Softball Stadium in Belthorn Estate, on Saturday 15 February. Falcons were quick out of the starting blocks, scoring four runs in their first turn at bat. Young Tonique White was again in the forefront with two scattered singles and a sacrifice bunt. Phillies slowly clawed their way back to
score single runs in three of their first four turns at bat with Falcons adding a further single run in the fourth innings. Phillies tied the score in the bottom of the sixth innings at 5-5. Westridge Yankees scored six runs in their first turn at bat against lowly Tantasport to set the trend for an easy day in the park. Yankees took 14 hits off Roxanne Albertyn and eventually ran out 13-3 run-ahead rule winners. Yankees’ offense was led by Nicole Williams and Megan Cable both batting 2-3. Nuraan Williams and Nicole Kannemeyer
waded in with a three-base hit each. Results: Women: Super League: Heideveld Yankees 0, Lavender Hill 7; Tantasport 3, Westridge Yankees 13; Falcons 5, Kenfac Phillies 5 Major League: Kuils River Cougars 5, Table View Tornados 2; Belhar Dolphins 4, Falcons 12; Lavender Hill 0, Westridge Yankees 7 First League: Battswood 7, Khayelitsha Eagles 9;

Primrose on promotion hunt GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS
P
rimrose is back in the hunt for promotion following the shock defeat by Rylands at the hands of Tygerberg by 47 runs in Western Province Cricket Association’s First Division A competition on Saturday 15 February. A century by the promising Quasim Salie (120) enabled Primrose to post the highest score this season with a mammoth 297/8 against the hapless Gugulethu. In reply, Gugs were skittled for 64 with the burly Justin Pringle (5/31) doing most of the damage for the Roses. Tygerberg gave an improved performance scoring 204/6 with Nabeel Abrahams top scoring with a score of 51 runs. Rylands lost wickets at regular intervals in their response, eventually being dismissed for 157 with Abrahams (4/40) completing a fine performance with both bat and ball.
