MR MAGNIFICENT
Young hero crowned SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
I
t was a glitzy affair as friends, family and residents came together to celebrate the crowning of Mr Magnificent Icon (MMI) Phenomenal South Africa, on Saturday 29 June. The event was organised and hosted by Mitchell’s Plain-based Shumeez Scott Foundation (SSF). The foundation is named after the reigning queen of the Miss Magnificent Woman Icon (MWI) Phenomenal International title. The foundation caters for children who are living with Down Syndrome and does empowerment activities such as skills in massage, manicure, pedicure to give the children the dignity they deserve. People were dressed to the nines and filled the Bonteheuwel Civic Centre to celebrate Nabeel Oostendorp’s (23) moment of glory. The crowning event was filled with feasts, dance and music, Bahia Janodien, chief executive officer (CEO) for SSF, urged parents to allow their children to live their best potential. She says one person with outstanding person is chosen among children with Down Sydrome and crowned as the winner. She encouraged audiences to support children and bring them to the foundation where they will be shown love and respect. “All these kids want is to be accepted by the society and we will not wait for the society to come to them, we will go to the society,” said Janodien. She appealed to parents to treat children with the condition as normal and added they had no limits. She furthermore requested the attendees to help the foundation grow and added they need a space where they can operate. According to her, when they started they only had two children, now they have over 29, and that highlights a need for a studio. Before handing over to the master of ceremonies (MC) she briefly described the man of the moment as someone who is selfless. She said he always makes it a point that other children are attended to before him. “He will come to me and ask, did you eat?,” she shared. The event was attended by a number of

Daniels said he was honoured to be part of the event to celebrate with Nabeel. His message to him was to never doubt himself. “I want him to believe that things will work out,” he said. Daniels, a Paarl based model, described his title as one that is charity orientated. Nabeel was flanked by his family and they all had great things to say about him.
His older sister Nabeelah Oostendorp said her brother is the sweetest. She said she is overwhelmed and excited for him on his big day. She described him as caring and the type of a sibling who does almost all the house chores without complaints. “I wish him well, I want him to stay the person that he is. I see now he is doing things he has never done before just like being crowned,” she said. His father, Ismael Oostendorp also had positive things to say about his son, whom

he is proud of. He said he is very excited about what is happening for his son. He described him as a good boy who loves soccer. The man of the moment did not have much to say except to wave at the jovial crowd. He also danced to the music and to the local band that played music in show of support for their homeboy. The foundation also thanked the sponsors and said without their support the event would not have succeeded.

Fresh Living now in braille Pick n Pay’s Fresh Living magazine is now available in braille, making it the first supermarket in South Africa to offer this to its customers. The May issue of Fresh Living was recently piloted in braille. There are 250 visuallyimpaired customers who will officially be trialled for two months in selected stores across the country. The June Fresh Living braille edition launched in selected stores last week and can be picked up at the Customer Care Desk. Free to Smart Shopper customers, Fresh Living has grown from 60 000 copies at launch to over 500 000 copies per month. It provides readers with lifestyle inspiration, the latest food and drink news and accessible, everyday family recipes with each edi-
their feedback and ideas on how to refine the braille version. “Fresh Living magazine is a wonderfully inclusive publication, and this takes us one excellent step further,” says John Bradshaw, marketing: retail executive at the retail giant. Britz says the foundation of her braille printing company came from her experience as a blind person living in a sightedpersons world. “This is a daily struggle, especially when it comes to using any form of public facility. “Pick n Pay is one of a handful of companies who understand my vision of improving public facilities for the blind by having more consideration for their blind consumers,” Britz says. The braille edition will be trialled at selected stores and Centres for the blind nationally for June and July and may be expanded based on customer feedback.
tion. It is this popularity that led a loyal customer, Jennine Britz, to contact the retailer and offer her braille translation services in order to share her favourite magazine with the visually-impaired community of South Africa. Classified as blind, Britz has worked closely with the retail store and the magazine’s publisher John Brown since September last year to develop the sample copy and make the braille edition of Fresh Living a reality. The edition was piloted in April with the Centres for the Blind in KwaZulu-Natal, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein and Johannesburg.

A
small group of residents in Manenberg are fuming and have accused the provincial education department of being responsible for all the crime in the area. This comes after a local school, Silverstream High School, was allegedly closed down. However, the department has dismissed reports that the school closed, saying it has been converted to a “school of skills”. According to the community, the school “closure” affected many children, with some dropping out of the system, while others got involved in drugs. It has also affected other schools in the area such as Phoenix Secondary School. The “closure” has led to overcrowding and a surge in criminal activities in the neighbourhood. On Wednesday 26 June, irate residents staged a demonstration on Duinefontein Road in an effort to make their voices heard. Speaking on behalf of residents, Samuel Samodien and Maria Jansen said the situation at the schools in the area is bad, classes are overcrowded. That, according to them, is the result of the learners who were supposed to be at Silverstream High that was closed. They allege that children have lost interest in schooling because they are just too many at school. They also attribute the increase in criminal activities such as gang violence, teenage pregnancy to that. According to residents, the department of education closed down the school and promised to build another one which they never did. “We were never consulted about the closure of the school, they are doing the same thing the apartheid government did of forcing us out of Bo Kaap to here,” she said. He said they will mobilise the residents so that government can hear their plight. They do not want a situation where they keep quiet about changes that are implemented in their residential area, they said. Jansen said they told their ward councillor and nothing was done about their unhappiness. Director of communications for the Western Cape Education Department, Bronagh Hammond said the matter was dealt with last year. She said there were engagements with the affected principals and community for months. She said it was “mutually” agreed that Silverstream will not close but rather be reborn as the School of Skills (SOS) the community has been asking for. “This shift has already been implemented at the current site and the agreed plan is to relocate this SOS to a brand new premises at the old GF Jooste site when the land it is currently on is required for the new Klipfontein Regional Hospital,” she said.

Promoting plus size women and giving back NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku Local entrepreneur Candice Manuel, through her non-profit organisation (NPO) called Embrace Your Curves, embarked on her quarterly journey to raise funds for charity at The Address Club in Athlone on Friday 28 June. As a plus size woman, Manuel knows the challenges faced by big women and cares deeply about the vulnerable women in her community. Hence, she decided that through her brand, which was started with the aim to empower women by encouraging them to be confident in their bodies, she also put time aside to give to the vulnerable women. She approached the club to sponsor her charity event by providing a venue. Manuel says she has previously managed to raise R10 000 for Little Brinks in Morningstar.
This time she is charging a minimum fee of R50 and the proceeds will go to a women and child abuse awareness organisation. She says at the events, guests are encouraged to donate unwanted items which she later, along with her team, will hand-out to a NPO or directly to street people depending on the number of tangible donations they receive. These include clothing, non-perishable food items, toys and blankets. A portion of the NPO runs as a business focusing on designing and promoting fashionable clothing for plus size women to accumulate funds to run its causes, and Manuel also owns a Candys Partyland company. “We aim to stick to our main purpose of women empowerment, as we so often see these days, that this term is used widely in many cases for selfish reasons. We do this by involving real everyday women in all our doings, may it be photo shoots, events, featuring them on our Women Crush Wednes-
day (#WCW). “Yes we do make a small profit of the apparel that we sell but those are sold in small qualities to promote brand awareness,” Manuel says. She says as part of the NPO she has started a bursary programme which she hopes will be able to fund five unemployed women from disadvantaged areas to develop their skills and further their education. “We believe that the future is female, and we aspire to inspire these ladies to rise above their circumstances and change the way society perceives women in poorer communities such as Mitchell’s Plain, where I was born and raised,” says Manuel. She added that women are facing societal expectations and pressure to look a certain way and achieve more in order to be recognised, which is not always an easy description to match for many.“Being the best version of yourself doesn’t mean you have to fit into specific dress size,” she says.

Crèches sign facility agreement T
he City of Cape Town’s social development and early childhood development department has officially signed facility management agreements with its 27 Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centre operators across the city. The agreement will remain in place until 2029. In a statement, Mayco member for community services and health Zahid Badroodi-
en says with this agreement, the City was able to regulate the usage of these properties and give peace of mind to the successful operators. He says the City saw it important to help bring stability and advancement in the early childhood development sector, “because the research is clear – how a child starts the learning process will have a far-reaching impact on the rest of their life.”
He says in this way the City recognises that there is a shortage of suitably located and optimally functioning ECDs in Cape Town and it is for this reason that the City continues to invest in building facilities run by independent operators. “Our ECD project in Heideveld is but the latest example of this. The department also works closely with the provincial government to ensure that ECDs comply with
health, fire safety and building regulations that allow them to become registered,” he says. He says training is also offered to ECD staff both in terms of teaching methodology and child safety, and the City assists with equipping ECDs with educational materials, toys and safety equipment. V The list of the ECDs is available at http://bit.do/ECDFMA.
Women from different communities in the Cape Flats say a lot needs to be done to bring change in their communities.

Women ready to bring about change NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku More than 400 women from different communities across the City of Cape Town met under one roof to share their experiences obtained from a six-month-long Women for Change programme The evaluation session took place at the Athlone Civic Centre on Tuesday 25 June and it highlighted some of the challenges faced during the programme. The programme was established by the City of Cape Town in 2016 to empower women to take ownership of their communities. It provides them with proper skills and resources that prepare them either for employability within social development or-
ganisations or to start their own projects. Participants were employed under the Expanded Public Works Programmes (EPWP). They started in January and the evaluation marked the end of their contracts. The residents from Athlone, Hanover Park, Manenberg, Nyanga, Gugulethu, Belhar, Mastrosfootein, Delft and Blikkiesdorp took turns on stage to share their experiences. Amelia Eksteen, from Blikkiesdorp, said their community is one of many affected by the lack of service delivery and poverty. She said their objective is to find means of establishing jobs opportunities, feeding and creating a safe environment for children. According to her they do not have basic services as yet as the area is fairly new. The community is made up of people from
different areas around Cape Town. They moved to the area by the City in 2007. Eksteen said the programme has been helpful as many people have been sitting at home doing nothing and struggled to feed their families. Another beneficiary, Dineo Masiu from Delft, said in her community the focus is on skills development and social services, working with local organisations such as schools. She said they embarked on various campaigns including anti-bullying, health and wellness. Masiu said her community is one of many in the Cape Flats that is affected by violence and lack of resources for youth development and women empowerment. “Through initiatives like these, we are able to work closely with local council to identi-
fy and set priorities as per the needs of the community. “I was fortunate to carry on with this programme for over six months as I gained a lot of knowledge. Now I will be able to plough back, and we hope there will be job opportunities where we could utilise these skills,” Masiu said. Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien congratulated the women for completing the programme, saying the City promises to continue working with them to make sure the skills do not go to waste. Badroodien said depending on availability in their respective areas, the City tries to place women within local projects and encourage them to start up their projects and be agents of change, creating opportunities for other women.

Don’t miss the Woman in Black M
Lindy Johnson will be performing at the Funny Festival.
Operation Smile to benefit from Funny Festival in July The Jive Cape Town Funny Festival opened at the Baxter Theatre for its 15th year and will run until Sunday 28 July. Its unique characteristic is that it presents international specialty acts alongside local stand-up comics. Regarded as one of the top comedy projects in the country and certainly the longest running, the Funny Festival presents South African comics in various forms. This year the bill includes Emo Adams, Sifiso Nene, Carvin H Goldstone, Lindy Johnson, The Big Boys and the master of ceremonies (MC), Alan Committie. The local contingent is joined by Australian magician and mentalist, Matt Tarrant and comedic pianist, Kev Orkian from London. Tarrant boasts a string of awards from all of Australia’s top festivals in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. He is regarded as the foremost magician Down Under presenting his skills in a novel manner. He steals the limelight on every show line-up and leaves his audiences mesmerised and confounded at his ability. He is destined for international recognition. On the other hand, Orkian is no stranger to Cape Town, having performed on the Funny Festival on numerous occasions. He brings new elements to his Cape Town show after a hugely successful year, which saw him play to a sold-out world tour, visiting the United States of America (USA), Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom (UK) and countries across Europe. He is a hit wherever he performs and is regarded as Armenia’s global entertainment ambassador, playing to its diaspora across the globe. Sean Burton, marketing head of Jive, said: “All of us at Jive HQ are excited as usual for this year’s Funny Festival. Not everyone looks forward to Cape Town’s winter, but if you have been to any of the last 14 festivals, you will know why this is such an exciting time of year for all of us and our customers.” The festival serves as a platform for
young proponents of the comedy industry to showcase their skills on a prestigious stage. Past winners include Oliver Booth, Irshaad Mohamed, Stuart Cairns, Yaaseen Barnes and Lindy Johnson, as well as Reagen Allen. This year, the competition spreads its wings into the city’s townships, with a competition aimed at aspirant township comedians. Aptly titled, the Kasi World Comedy Showdown, the competition includes prize money and an exclusive performance on the Funny Festival stage at the Baxter Theatre. Mayor Dan Plato said: “I think it is wonderful that the Jive Cape Town Funny Festival is giving our communities a chance to see both local stand-up comics as well as international acts. It is important to provide young comics with a platform to showcase their talents on the well-known and prestigious Baxter Theatre stage. It is festivals like this, that keep reinforcing why Cape Town was awarded the title of World’s Leading Festival and Events Destination at the 2018 World Travel Awards”. Operation Smile South Africa (OSSA) is the Funny Festival’s beneficiary for the year. “It was a no brainer that a charity whose major aim is to make people smile, becomes our charity of choice this year,” says festival director, Eddy Cassar, adding that he is challenging all patrons to embrace the charity and donate generously. “We are all smiles to be a beneficiary for the 15th Jive Cape Town Funny Festival this year,” says Lauren Bright of Operation Smile. OSSA is a non-profit medical charity dedicated to provided safe, effective and timeous surgery to those born with cleft lip or cleft palate. V Prices for tickets to the Jive Cape Town Funny Festival at the Baxter Theatre remain unchanged at R190 each and offer generous discounts for group discounts of more than 10. Bookings can be made through Webtickets at www.webtickets.co.za
ore than three decades after its debut in the West End (making it the second longest running play of all time), the haunting tale of The Woman in Black returns to Cape Town in a spine-chilling re-imagining by director David Wilke. Susan Hill’s acclaimed ghost story comes dramatically alive in Stephen Mallatratt’s ingenious stage adaptation. Now entering its 32nd year in West End, the gripping production is a brilliantly successful study in atmosphere, illusion and controlled horror. A lawyer (Masque Theatre regular, Nigel Stevenson), obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a woman in black, engages a sceptical young actor (University of Cape Town film alumni, Landon McClure) to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently, but then, as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. This blood curling production is certainly not for the faint hearted. The Daily Express says that “it tightens its grip on the spectator like a medieval instrument of torture,” while the Daily Mail calls it “a truly nerveshredding experience.” The show is presented for a very limited run, so do not miss the opportunity to see this unique treat of theatre. V The production runs at The Masque Theatre until
Nigel Stevenson and Landon McClure star in The Woman in Black at The Masque Theatre. Saturday 6 July. Tickets are available at Computicket or at The Masque Theatre box office on 021 788 1898. Tickets are R100 for adults, and R90 for grouping bookings over 10, pensioners and students.

Album inspired by suburbia THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo Afrikaans music sensation, Francios van Coke has been busy cooking up some new music for his upcoming album that is expected to be released later this year. Dagdrome in Suburbia (Daydreaming in Suburbia) will consist of 10 tracks that he and some of his friends recorded. It follows their observations of life in the suburbs. In the album, Van Coke sings about being in his 30s, being South African; a “problem”; father and a lover. Four of the tracks in the album were recorded at the Red Bull Music Studios in the City Centre last week.The album is produced by Fred den Hartog, Theo Crous and Rudolf Willemse with Crous, Dane Taylor
and Jurgen von Wechmar mixing most of the tracks. “I wrote a bunch of songs with a number of people too; my band (Die Gevaar), Ricky Rick, Karen Zoid and Danie du Toit, among others,” he said. After the initial Francois van Coke & Vriende Concert in Pretoria September last year, he decided to bring the concert to Cape Town in October. “The reception of Francois van Coke & Vriende was unbelievable, it had to be brought home. Doing the show in Cape Town was really ‘sick’ because it is tough putting on a big rock and roll event in Cape Town. It was a massive success and hopefully we will do it again in the future,” Van Coke said. He will release the new album in October and the launch will take place in Pretoria and plans to tour the whole country for the launch.

Governing schools as inclusive spaces Over the past few years, issues relating to inclusion and tolerance of difference have challenged private and public schools across South Africa. As instruments of participatory democracy, it is the role of School Governing Bodies (SGBs), to ensure that schools are safe places for all learners to learn and thrive. Per section 16 of the South African Schools Act, the governance of every public school is vested in its governing body. This means that SGBs are responsible for determining all policies of a school, including admissions policy, language policy, code of conduct etcetera, as well as for financial management and ensuring employment equity. These policies can play a vital role in ensuring that schools are inclusive and tolerant spaces for all learners, staff and parents. Research shows that an involved community and an effective SGB working with teachers and dynamic principals at schools

have better outcomes than those schools who do not – even if the latter have more financial and other resources. A recent book by Brian Levy, the academic director of University of Cape Town’s Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance, The Politics and Governance of Basic Education: A Tale of Two South African Provinces, looking deeply at schools in the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape found that strong governance was directly correlated with strengthened education outcomes. Whilst strengthened education outcomes are extremely important, there is more to learning than the curriculum. Learning environments need to not only teach but also model the values of dignity, equality and freedom in our Constitution. School policies and practices should embody these values. In reality, there are already many challenges facing SGBs on the ground. A lack of interest and participation among parents, limited understanding of the roles of SGB members and their responsibilities as well as difficult relationships between school principals and SGBs, which can impact significantly on the culture and learning at a school. This highlights why it is important that schools understand the role of SGBs in governance broadly, and in promoting inclusion and tolerance in South African schools. In 2018 the Bertha Centre at the UCT Graduate School of Business, established the Schools Inclusive Governance Network (SIGN), in response to the need to support SGBs. SIGN hopes to fill the training gap by providing school communities (learners, teachers, principals and parents) with practical advice and support to advance social inclusion through policies and practices in schools. Training and networking opportunities are provided to SGB members to learn and share experiences. On 8 June SIGN hosted a one-day workshop that focused on how SGBs can lead the way to create inclusive policies and educational spaces and provide participants with a network of support in this democratic endeavour. It is hoped that initiatives like this will enable more schools to navigate the challenges of inclusive policy making and embed a culture of appreciation for diversity among future South African generations.

We need additional facilities not trees In response to the article published in People’s Post about sports facilities getting more trees, (“Council sports facilities go green”, 25 June). I think this is a good idea, however, we need more sports fields and other improvements to our already existing facilities on the Cape Flats as it is illmanaged. Trees are great, they give oxygen and uplift the area, but we need infrastructure to meet this first. That R1.2m spent in Newlands and Southfield could give kids on the Cape Flats a chance at playing sport and keeping them off the streets. Maybe something to think about. JAMES KING Email
Help ease traffic congestion Traffic congestion and the impact it has on the local economy was one of the key discussion points at a meeting with the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI). All Capetonians arrange their lives around traffic, be it commuters who rely on public transport, motorists in private vehicles, or the businesses who need the road network to move their goods and services. We are building new roads and we are prioritising public transport, but the projects won’t happen overnight. In the meantime, technology is changing our lives and the question is, why can the private sector not step up with innovative solutions to beat the traffic? For instance, you are far better placed to develop smartphone applications for lift-clubs and car-pooling than us. Private businesses could assist by allowing employees to work flexible working hours, to work remotely, or to implement condensed work weeks. You could also think of ways of incentivising employees to form lift-clubs and to do car-pooling. We have thousands of cars on our main roads with only one occupant – the driver. If we can get four, or even only two people, to travel together we can half the number of private vehicles on the roads during the peakhour periods. The City will be spending an additional R165.7m in the 2019/20 financial year on new roads and links to relieve congestion in the worst affected areas. These include:
. the dualling of Broadway Boulevard (R30 million) . work on the Belhar Main Road (R35 million) . the completion of the Kommetjie Road and Ou Kaapse Weg project (R24.9 million) . Langverwacht Road (R23 million); . Sandown Road (R46 million). A further R22m has been allocated to upgrade the north and southbound lanes of the R44. The City will also invest approximately R114.8m on building new public transport interchanges (PTIs) and to refurbish existing interchanges for commuters and the minibus-taxi operators. Construction of a new minibus-taxi facility is already underway in Dunoon, while the contractor for a new PTI in Somerset West will soon be implemented, within the next five months. Plans are also underway for major refurbishments of the facilities in Retreat and Wynberg. Cape Town’s road network comprises over 10 600km and every inch of it is managed by the Transport Directorate. Our road network is our biggest asset and thus, the City has set aside over R173 million for the maintenance and reconstruction of the city’s roads for the 2019/20 financial year. We are committed and the money has been allocated, but we need Cape Town’s business people to also contribute with smart ideas that will address the challenges within the transport realm.

Join the fight against drug trade The Western Cape Department of Social Development (DSD) calls on society to assist in our fight against substance abuse, as we observed the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on Wednesday 27 June. The Department of Social Development has allocated R109.8m for the 2019/20 financial year, to continue our work in tackling this scourge. Furthermore, since 2014, we have provided early intervention services to well-over 30 000 individuals, and aftercare and reintegration services to nearly 9000 individuals. The legacy of Apartheid has been manifested in various ways since 1994. One direct consequence is the increased prevalence of substance misuse and abuse. A major social problem, it has a debilitating impact on South African society. Moreover, substance abuse has a direct relationship with the increase in many social problems, ranging from poverty to crime, gender-based violence and child abuse. Given this context, establishing and improving existing substance abuse interventions in the Western Cape remains an urgent priority. Above all, collaborative strategies between government, stakeholders across society and the affected communities, is what is required to win the fight against substance abuse. DSD continues to be at the forefront of the fight against substance abuse, focusing on rendering; . awareness and primary prevention services;
. early intervention; . treatment centres; . reintegration and after-care support; . integrated programmes with the departments of education and health as well as local drug action committees of local authorities; . co-ordination with partners, e.g. NGO sector; . standardising professional and management best practices; . facilitating diversion programmes with the social crime prevention unit as a means of intervention with the youth at risk. Our Department has grown its network of funded services from a mere 7 in 2009, to now funding 53 organisations working at over 75 sites across the province. The 75 sites include the 6 funded inpatient treatment centres. We have specifically targeted treating young people, in order to address the rising tide of youth alcohol and drug usage. Furthermore, we are capacitating our services with training in the Life Skills Cognitive Behaviour programme as an initiative with Rotatory international and trainers from Holland. We urge all residents suffering from substance abuse to make use of our services. Anybody needing more information or assistance can contact us on the www.heretohelp.co.za website, or the DSD hotline on 0800 220 250. We can beat drug and alcohol abuse, better together.

Schools must manage learners well With regard to the letter published in People’s Post about scholars staying at school until the last day of the term (“Kids must finish school terms, 18 June). I fully agree with that. Our children will come home after their last day of writing exams saying their teachers told them to stay at home. Because the teacher said this, they will
refuse to go to school. I think this issue should seriously be addressed by principals with their teachers. I thank you for the letter so now I can prove to our kids that school is open until the last day. MALIKA THOMPSON Mitchell’s Plain

Boxing unites communities SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic
H
anover Park Boxing Academy is happy with how the boxing tournament, hosted at Hanover Park Civic Centre on Saturday 29 June, turned out. This is according to the academy’s manager and organiser, Ighsaan Nazier. He said the event saw eight clubs from various areas in Cape Town competing. Those areas included Nyanga, Philippi and Khayelitsha. That, according to him equals to 16 fighters who battled it out in the ring. He said the event was not just about boxing but about bringing the community together to unite against all the criminal activities – it was about nation building. According to him, the academy wants to grow and do more community events with the children, as they have done so in the past. He made mention of a boxing camp they had last year. The tournament was just a continuation of such projects.
As organisers, he said, they were impressed by the support from the community. “I was happy with the turnout. As early as 07:00 there were already mothers who were at the door, wanting to come into the venue,” he shared. Nazier said the event highlighted another need; that of female boxers to come on board. He revealed there was a female boxer who wanted to fight but could not due to not having an opponent. He called on interested female boxers to join the academy. “I also encourage parents to advise their children to come to the academy, it is not just about boxing but discipline also,” he said. Nazier revealed that as a symbol of appreciation to all the participants, they were all given meals and medals after the event. The event was in partnership with the City of Cape Town’s Parks and Recreation. Hanover Park’s ward councillor, Antonio van der Rheede, sponsored the event. Van der Rheede said he used the event as a means to transform children and also at-
tract them to something that could change their lives for the better. He congratulated all the boxers who took part in the tournament for their spirit. He said it was not about winning but about being part of a community development project. “They sometimes practised while there were shootings in the evening,” he said. He said even though they did not all take the actual title, entering the completion was enough. “Even if you lose in the first round, the fact that you came with your God-given talent for me is a win,” he said. The winner, Nasrullah Nazier said he could not contain his joy for snatching the Cape Town Metro Open Boxing Organisation Champion title. Nasrullah (16) said it was a tough fight but he is glad and proud that he came out victorious. He said the win came as result of commitment and dedication from his side. “To prepare for the tournament I had to
train three times a day, every day,” he shared. He added that it was not always easy to achieve as he had to train the younger boxers sometimes. The winner was excited and said he will rest for a little while, but he intends on competing in the provincial and national level in the future.
