History warriors celebrate NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
T
oday, Tuesday 24 September, marks the first anniversary of the Salt River Heritage Society. Current and former residents are expected to gather at Imam Haron Hall to celebrate the milestone. The society was established last year to preserve the history of Salt River by collecting data, including architectural, cultural and natural information. At the event, scheduled to start at 14:00, the society will share its journey since its inception with guests. This will include a look at the activities
organised and hosted by the society over the past year. Old photographs of the area and its residents will be on display. A video of senior residents, sharing their past experiences on camera, will also be shown to give insight into Salt River’s early days. Author and founder of the Ruben Richards non-profit organisation, Dr Ruben Richards will be the keynote speaker. His speech will be titled “The implications of Battle of Salt River in 1510 on the legacy and heritage of the area”. Lutfi Omar, the secretary for the society, says their goal is to build “a people-centred history”, acknowledging those who were

Serving the community for years AVRIL FILLIES
W
hen her children left school 33 years ago, she decided to be of service to her community and fellow man. Since the 1980s Margaret Voogt (83) from Blomtuin, Bellville, has dedicated her whole life to serving her fellow man and community – and is still doing it. She is one of the finalists in the 80 years and older category of the Community Champions Elder Awards presented by People’s Post, TygerBurger and City Vision, in partnership with Spec-Savers. “I don’t like being in the limelight but prefer to be in the background. This is my 34th year dedicating my time to be of service to whoever needs it and it started 34 years ago when my kids were still at Durbanville High School,” Margaret said when TygerBuger visited her at home. She worked in the tuck shop at the school and when her kids left school she had to find something else to do. “I started with a refreshment trolley at Tygerberg and Karl Bremer hospitals for all the wards. When the nurses decided to open their own tuck shop I started with needlework. We made toiletry bags for kids in hospital over the festive season and gave it as gifts to the patients. In the bags were shampoo and other toiletries. “Nowadays, I am knitting bootees and caps for premature babies. I collect secondhand clothing and every three months we have a sale. My team and I usually stored the clothing in boxes at the hospital, but a storeroom was cleaned and we use that space as our storeroom,” Margaret said. She visits Karl Bremer every Thursday and all the clothes that are not sold are handed over to Patricia Groenewald of Avondale, to hand out where there is a need. “We sometimes get knitted squares and use that to make blankets for the rape centre

at Karl Bremer hospital. The past 20 years I am a volunteer catering coordinator at the Bellville East Reformed Church for the nongovernmental organisation, Koningskinders. This is a group of underprivileged kids that we take on a camping trip every term. “The kids are from Aristea Primary School in Kraaifontein and the principal selects who attends the camps. “The camp is over five days and is held at the Melkbosstrand Cultural Centre and matrics or college students are the group leaders. Each group leader has three children to take care of for the duration of the camp and the camp has a Christian theme,” she said. The leader and kids read the Bible, say a prayer and are involved in certain activities like a concert and dress up. As part of her involvement with Koningskinders she makes food parcels and distributes them in
the Kraaifontein community. At her local church, she has been doing flower baskets for sick people every Sunday since 2000 to brighten their day. “I don’t have money to give away but God gave me hands to reach out and contribute with. As I mentioned in the beginning, I don’t want publicity but appreciate the fact that I was nominated for the Community Champions Elders Award,” she chuckled. Her compassion for the needy continues to be her daily focus despite her age and fragility. She has 11 great-grandchildren for whom she also knits beanies and bonnets when she gets time, and is waiting to hear the gender of her next great-grandchild. V The winners of the awards will be announced at a morning tea on 12 October in Cape Town. Winners and runners-up will walk away Shoprite vouchers and other prizes sponsored by TygerBurger, People’s Post, City Vision, and Spec-Savers.
Self-defence classes needed for women NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku An observatory woman, Kami Gordon, is encouraging women to start self-defence lessons in order to protect themselves against gender-based violence. She believes the move would significantly reduce gender-based violence that has recently plagued the nation. Gordon, who is raising her disabled daughter, will host the first Open Space Self-defence event at Main Park on Saturday 5 October at 10:00. The event will have local self-defence instructors offering lessons at public spaces at least twice a month. Gordon has created a Facebook page called Warpath – Women and Children SA to spread the message. She says perpetrators prey on women. “I would prefer that all classes are in an open public space so that potential perpetrators can see what we are doing,” says Gordon. She hopes to work with various self-defence instructors to present the lessons at a low cost.
Marching for climate change NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku Capetonians joined the nation in the World Global Climate Change strike on Friday 20 September. The solidarity march started from Zonnebloem, going down Keizergrancht Street to the national assembly in the central business district.
Young and old spoke in one voice; they called on the government to act to prevent climate change in Cape Town and South Africa. Most speakers, including Phindile Maxiti, Mayco member for energy and climate change, referred to Day Zero as a sign that things could get worse, but could be prevented.
“I propose that people who can afford it, to pay R50 and, if possible, to sponsor another woman. “The money raised from each class will go to the instructors for their time,” says Gordon. She plans to make the event free to girls. Classes will be held twice a month, depending on instructors’ availability and information will be shared on the Facebook page. Gordon wants the sessions to be conducted in various communities to Kami Gordon send a strong message to the perpetrators of gender-based violence. Gordon says she has received a good response from women wanting to attend the lessons with their daughters. Gordon further says interventions and abuse should be prevented in all aspects, saying bullying too, is part of the unaccepted behaviours that should be stopped
from an early age starting from school level to prevent it from escalating to adulthood. “I propose that prefects are made bully soldiers and that they all have a WhatsApp group where the victims may anonymously report bullying.” She adds: “Give prefects more authority, we need more people talking at schools,” says Gordon. She has already approached four local instructors and is waiting for confirmation from them. Once confirmed, information for different events will then be shared. Gordon is also willing to help create events and to raise awareness for other communities and to work with the community-based organisations to spread the word of safety.

SALT RIVER
Workshop to address ‘xenophobia’ NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
P
rovincial education department announced that there are workshops planned for Salt River High School learners following an alleged xenophobic incident that happened at the school earlier this month.
A Congolese Grade 10 learner was attacked by schoolmates on Monday 2 September. She was hospitalised due to the severity of her injuries and has not returned to school yet. Bronagh Hammond, the department’s spokesperson, says the school has, however, offered her alternatives for the writing of examinations. “We look forward to having the learner
back at school and will provide the necessary support,” she says. According to Hammond the fight began with an argument regarding a recording of school attendance by the victim. She was performing her duty as a class monitor. Hammond says proper procedures were followed and the school seeks to teach learners how to better deal with conflict
and mediation. “There are arguments among learners all the time in schools. These arguments stem from a variety of issues, unrelated to race, religion and culture,” Hammond says. She says the motive for the recent attack is yet to be established and a disciplinary hearing is to take place in the beginning of the next school term.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREENPOP: Woodstock-based Greenpop, a non-profit organisation (NPO), is turning nine-yearsold today (Tuesday 24 September). As part of the celebration, the NPO is hosting a birthday bash planting day at the Eco-Education Hub from 09:30. Members and supporters of the NPO are expected to plant a variety of trees. “We will be planting a selection of trees and fynbos,” says Carla Wessels, the spokesperson. The celebration is aligned with the NPO’s goal of raising funds for 10 000 trees in 30 days as part of celebrating national Arbor Month in September. The NPO was founded in 2010 with the idea to connect people with the planet, engage communities and inspire environmental stewards.

Foundation gives room to dream NETTALIE VILJOEN
“W
hen I am asked what drew me to working with children, I tell people that their joy and their resilience is driven by their sense of wonder, all too often forgotten in adulthood,” says Prof Alan Davidson, head of haematology-oncology at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. Davidson was speaking at Reach for a Dream’s formal handover of two new “Dream Rooms” – a revamped day room in the oncology ward and a playroom in the surgical ward – on Wednesday 18 September. The rooms offer children, and parents, a safe space to go and escape from their clinical surroundings. Big Concerts and Reach For A Dream joined forces to create the first of these
rooms in Cape Town children’s hospitals. Heidi Rowley, Western Cape branch manager for Reach for a Dream, says here the children can have fun, read and play. “Eventually, there will be 30 such rooms at hospitals which provide critical care to children with life-threatening illnesses.” Justin van Wyk, chief executive officer of Big Concerts, and his wife Karen say the initiative is close to their hearts. The promoter of live entertainment events has supported the foundation since 2015. But the Van Wyks’s involvement became a lot more personal when their daughter, Annabelle (now 5), was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of three and a half. “We had just moved into our new home. Adrian (now 7) and Annabelle were so excited about having their own rooms for the

first time. Then Annabelle was diagnosed. A day later, she was admitted to Red Cross hospital. We went from this warm and fuzzy environment to a clinical one, just like that.” Justin says the experience was pretty scary. They spent three weeks in hospital followed by another six weeks a year later. “When Mervyn Serebro (national chairman for the foundation) announced the initiative at the gala event last year, it resonated with me and Karen,” he says. In addition to the two Dream Rooms, the reception area at the oncology ward also got a makeover. It now boasts a play area complete with brand new chairs, tables and toys. When it comes to the surgical ward’s new playroom (which includes an Xbox), Sister Nomsa Nxu, operational manager: nursing, says she is not sure who was more excited:
her or the children. “The Dream Room’s purpose is twofold. Yes, it’s for the children, but it is also a place where tired moms, who often stay up the whole night – worrying about their children – can go to rest for a bit.” The handover comes hot on the heels of the upgrade of the oncology-haematology unit at the hospital. The unit now sports state-ofthe-art ECG monitors, private consulting rooms, isolation areas and a counselling room for a social worker. It also includes ablution facilities for families, a renovated filing room and a bigger nurses’ tea room. Big Concerts also contributed generously to this project driven by the Children’s Hospital Trust (CHT).

Brady dreams of opening a dojo NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku
A
fter eight years of dedication and hard work, Brady Brown has been awarded national colours for karate. The 15-year-old from Kensington now plans to open his own dojo at his home next year. He is currently receiving leadership training at KarateZen in Goodwood. Brown received his Protea colours at the Karate South Africa (KSA) Protea Awards Ceremony after winning a bronze medal at the KSA Elite Championship for Cadet Boys in the u.15 (70kg) category in Durban in July. He’s currently second best in the country in his age and weight division. Some of his achievements include a bronze medal at the 18th Africa Union Sports
Council Region Five Karate Federation Championship held in Swakopmund in Namibia on Saturday 25 May. He competed in the Cadet Boys u.15 (70kg) category. At the KSA Cape Town Championship held at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, he won a bronze medal in the junior boys’ u.17 (68kg) category. Obtaining national colours made Brady realise that nothing is impossible if you focus and work hard. Brady is currently in Grade 9 at Kensington High School. He hopes to successfully juggle his studies and running the dojo. He says he’s positive he’d be able to make a success of both. “They (school and sport) are both important to me and I usually take a few weeks off from karate to focus on my studies before the examina-
tions start,” Brady says. His long-term dream is to become the best karateka in Africa and to hone the skills of talented karatekas from his community. “I am hoping to get sponsorships and to work with people from my community to make this a success. There is not much of inspiration for the youth (in Kensington) and I would like to change that,” says Brady. His dad is one of his biggest supporters. “As a family, we will assist him to make his dream come true. “He believes he’ll find a new karate world champion in Kensington,” concludes Llewellyn Brown, Brady’s father.

Gas extraction project in full swing T
he landfill gas flaring project at the Coastal Park landfill facility in Muizenberg has been firing on all cylinders since it was launched about 18 months ago. This project is aimed at destroying methane gas that is produced by the landfill, and to convert this to less harmful carbon dioxide and energy. To date methane, equivalent to about 138 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, has been destroyed at the landfill. World Ozone Day was commemorated on Monday 16 September and it was a time to once again do a health check on the ozone
layer, its depletion and what can be done differently to further protect it. The ozone layer acts as an invisible shield and protects people from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun “Methane gas, which is present in the landfill, has a global warming potential approximately 25 times greater than carbon dioxide. Not only does this offset carbon emissions, but gas that is converted to energy can be used to fuel a variety of operations,” said Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg.

Magic show to cast a spell NETTALIE VILJOEN
S
ay the word “magician” and the image of a man in a black suit, waving a wand around, immediately pops into your head. This is the stereotype that Rondebosch resident Santika Naidoo (21), a graduate of the College of Magic and a member of its voluntary teaching staff, wants to change. “Too many girls grow up thinking the only avenue open to them in the magic and illusion industry is that of the ambiguous temptress, standing on the side. But they don’t want to be the one just holding the props or even being the prop. So they begin to believe magic isn’t for girls.” Naidoo, director of the college’s latest production, World of Magic!, is living proof that nothing is further from the truth. The full-time Arts in Film and Television, Psychology and Organisational Psychology student is in her final year at the University of Cape Town. She says her participation in the college’s six-year training programme played a huge role in her decision to pursue a career in entertainment. “The college offers a range of courses. One of them is theatre production which focuses more on the technical side, for example, editing and lighting. My training taught me so many skills and it opened my eyes to the opportunities in the industry.” She says the understanding of how to create a guided and immersive experience is one of the greatest lessons taught at the college. “Modern technology and social media have caused us as a society to become distant from one another. But people still crave that feeling of being connected, of being immersed in the moment. With the
knowledge I’ve gained, I hope to create that holistic experience for audiences.” So, for her, the reward for heading up this new show as its director is twofold. Besides crafting a magical journey for audiences, she also has the chance to transform the roles of women in the male-dominated magic industry. “We specialise in making the impossible possible at the College of Magic. Having spent years training under the tutelage of strong female magicians, I relished the opportunity to help our young girls find their own voice and performance styles.” The show’s diverse cast features some of the Mother City’s exceptional entertainers, illusionists, clowns and jugglers, all between the ages of 10 and 19. It promises to whisk the audience through a fantastical world filled with illusions, magic, hilarious antics and fun-filled fantasy. When Naidoo and her then codirector, Michelle Gore, were given the task to put together the production at the beginning of the year, they decided to recreate that sense of childlike wonder. Gore withdrew from the project in August to pursue her PhD studies in atmospheric sciences at the Tenn State University in the United States of America (USA). “By taking the audience on a journey through the different worlds of magic, the show reminds you what it felt like when everything was still new and exciting; when your desire to explore was bigger than the fear of the unknown,” says Naidoo. Catch the show at the Artscape Theatre on Sunday 6 October at 14:00 and 16:30. Tickets are R165 with discounts for family bookings available. Book at Computicket.

sical identity. The production’s musicians include Mowday (soprano, alto, baritone and bass saxes, bass and contra-alto clarinet, composition), Helge Lien (piano), Johannes Eick (six-string acoustic bass), Erik Nylander (drums) and Asle Karstad (sound design). Supported by Norway Music, Lila had its debut performance on the Oslo Jazz Festival this year, followed by performances in Norway and South Africa. Through the art of spontaneous “play”, the musicians seek to find both common ground in expression and also explore beyond borders of musical genres or expectations of style. Mowday’s playing is a combination of power and high energy juxtaposed with sensitivity. Her unique compositions reflect her travels, her South African roots and extensive musical experience; drawing from nature, folklore, life experience and also presenting important issues for social discourse. Internationally acclaimed Lien, known for his distinctive sound, is one of the most exciting young voices to come out of the Scandinavian music scene. Eick’s unique expression and sound, playing six-string upright bass, is unparalleled. He has been an essential part of the Norwegian improvised music scene. Nylander has also worked in African projects such as Monoswezi and Mote (with Mowday and Dizu Plaatjies). Catch Lila on Sunday 29 September at 19:30 at the Nassau Centre, Groote Schuur High School, Palmyra Road, Newlands, Cape Town. As there is only one performance in Cape Town, it is suggested to book early, as seating is limited. Tickets cost R150 each. Students pay R50. V For more information or to book tickets, call Cliff Wallis on 021 761 2726 or 076 401 0008 or email cliffwallis@gmail.com. Tickets will also be available at the door.

Athletes enjoy fast, flat, fun race RASHIED ISAACS
M
SA Multisport held their third annual league race on Sunday 22 September through the streets of Kenwyn and Wynberg. The race is labelled as “triple F” – fast, flat and fun. The race catered for distances of 5km and 10km. Just over 1 500 participants were blessed with cool weather; with Raydon Balie (30:34) of Eerste River and Langa’s Pamela Moyikwa (39:02) using it to their advantage to beat a top field of runners in the open categories.
The Langa club have been consistently sharing the podium of late with the most noticeable addition to the club being Fortunate Chidzivo who smashed the Cape Town marathon 10km course record last week, Sunday 15 September. The MSA race is a start of a series of races lined up for this week on the Western Province Athletics calendar with the Nantes Athletics Club poised to host their annual race on Tuesday 24 September, and Goodwood Harriers ending off a festival of running on Saturday 27 September. Here are a few snaps from Sunday’s race in Wynberg.

UCT triumphant in intervarsity tournament Hundreds of students braved the weekend’s inclement weather to attend the annual Western Cape Intervarsity games hosted by Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) at their Bellville Campus. The tournament saw CPUT, the University of Western Cape (UWC), the University of Cape Town (UCT), Stellenbosch University (US) and Varsity College putting each other through their paces in sports such as soccer, basketball, water polo, table tennis, badminton, fencing, ultimate frisbee and tennis. The chilly and rainy weather disrupted outdoor codes such as cricket, netball, beach volleyball and tennis. Last year’s overall champions, US, relin-
quished their title to this year’s champions, UCT, who won the event, scoring 50 points. Stellenbosch was second with 45 points and UWC came third with 30 points. CPUT, which dominated soccer as both their men’s and ladies’ teams won the finals, came fourth with 26 points and Varsity College was fifth with 13 points. The tournament started in 2016 and was held at UWC, while CPUT hosted it for the first time this year. CPUT sports and culture manager, Siyabulela Mkwalo said: “I am very excited with what we achieved today despite the bad weather. We are disappointed that we had to cancel some sporting codes. Overall, I
am happy we have achieved the strategic objectives of the event which was to create a platform for the students to have fun and enjoyment. The best team won, although the tournament was not about winning but participation,” said Mkwalo. CPUT men’s soccer team captain, Bongumusa Mbali, said winning the soccer section of the tournament can open doors for them and hopes that the CPUT management will increase their support for the team. “I’m very grateful for the guys that played and those who didn’t play for the support we got both from the CPUT team and other teams,” Bongumusa noted.
