GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

‘One person is one too many’ LISA LOTTERING @demilottering

he community members of Heinz Park in Mitchell’s Plain say “enough is enough”. The community, along with the non-profit organisation Ilitha Labantu, picketed against gender-based violence on Friday 6 September. This follows a spate of killings of women and children, including the murder of 14year-old Janika Mallo. Her half-naked body was found on Sunday 1 September in her grandmother’s backyard in Heinz Park. Other recent murders include that of the University of Cape Town (UCT) student Uyinene Mrwetyana as well as Jess Hess, a theology student from the University of the Western Cape (UWC). Hess and her grandfather were found dead in their apartment in Parow, while Mwetyana was allegedly murdered at the Clareinch Post Office in Claremont. One of the picketers, Zikhona Mzimkulu (26) from Heinz Park, said things had gotten worse in the community. “If you rape, we want the death penalty. We don’t want life sentences or bail. We want the death penalty.” Mzimkulu said if President Cyril Ramaphosa did not assist with the situation, the community would take matters into their own hands. “No bail for rapists and killers. Enough is enough,” she said. Rose Klaassen (74), a community worker and resident of Heinz Park, said they were tired. “This is the last time one of our girls or women is murdered. We are heartbroken about everything that has happened,” she said. Klaassen believed the protests will make a difference. “It could have been my child too. We need to stand up and stand together to make a difference because these murders happen every day,” she said.

Briony Apollis (53) from Heinz Park. Sesethu Guphethuka (22) from Khayelitsha said she attended the picket in support of women and children. The 22-year-old said she was living in fear. “We should be able to walk freely and live freely but we can’t,” she said. Guphethuka said she was scared to leave her home. Briony Apollis (53) addressed the crowd on Friday and said the community needed to work together. She said there’s a death almost every day in Heinz Park. “It is disgusting,” she said. “We don’t get support from the police. I’ve gone to the police station so many times and they say they

are coming, but they never do,” she said. The way the community was being treated wasn’t right, she added. Siyabulela Monakali, communications officer of the organisation, said violence against women should not only be highlighted during Women’s Month and 16 days of Activism. “Gender-based violence is not time-bound. It is a daily occurrence and we should not be selective about when we address the issue,” said Monakali. “It shouldn't take one incident for the country to come to a standstill because this

is a day-to-day issue,” he said. Monakali said they wanted communities to take action and for men to take responsibility for their behaviour. He said violence against women had become normalised and was deeply embedded in society. “We should look at what factors are bred in society.” He said young girls were being raped and women murdered every day. “One person is one too many,” he said. Ilitha Labantu has been active in South Africa for more than 30 years.

Well-known in their community for the selfless work they do, Minnie Hoorn (71) and her husband, Daniël (80), are part of the finalists of the Community Champions Elders Awards – but the recognition is not what they do it for. The awards are presented by presented by People’s Post, TygerBurger and City Vision in partnership with Spec-Savers. For more than 20 years, since retiring from working at a petrol filling station in Bergvliet, Daniël has been feeding the needs and tunnies of residents; which he began with his late wife, Marie. “It is in my nature to help wherever I can. I didn’t understand, but I saw my grandparents and my father doing the same thing while I was growing up. Then when I gave myself to the Lord, I saw that giving was my

passed on (in 2007), he came to me and told me that God told him to marry me.” While she was hesitant at first, she says she realised that they were meant to help the community as husband and wife. The pair began the kitchen about 12 years ago and were then married to each other just one year later. They do mass feedings from their facility, the Help to Care Centre, which is also where they make the food every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. They began by using their own pension to buy vegetables, but later they began receiving small donations from Woolworths and Pick n Pay, which sometimes includes meat and bread in addition to vegetables. “Sometimes we’ll have nothing to give. I’ll be here and say ‘Where are we going to get the food to feed?’ Then something will always come through by God’s grace,” says Minnie. “Bianca (a generous Seawinds resident) gives us donations on a Tuesday.” Teresa Jones, who runs the children’s care centre called Shelter of Hope, congratulated the pair on their nomination and expressed her gratitude. “When we’re having events, all we have to do is pick up the phone and tell them what we’re doing for the children and they are always willing to give – always!” The women who volunteer to make the food are Zelda Arendsa, Alexia Smith and Kate Phiri. Alexia says more than 250 people make their way to the centre for food every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

WESTRIDGE

Gospel band to release a new single LISA LOTTERING @demilottering

resident from Westridge tries to use music as a tool to keep youngsters off the street and out of trouble. Raglan Isaacs from the group, A More Excellent Way (Amew), says the group aims to musically train youngsters in the area. Isaacs says the name Amew was chosen because whatever they do, is more excellent and they do it to the best of their ability. “Whatever we do as a community, we do under that name,” he says. The group started producing gospel music about six years ago and the members from Westridge and Blackheath represent different churches. Isaacs says the group incorporates youngsters in their music as well and they aim to scout for any talent within the community. “We want to give the youngsters a platform where they can showcase their talents and develop their skills,” says Isaacs. “We have an interchurch project where

Feeding scheme to assist community LISA LOTTERING @demilottering A resident from Eastridge has started a feeding scheme to improve the lives of the children in the community. According to Edries Davids (65), who started the non-profit organisation, We Desire To Inspire, nine children have lost their lives due to gangsterism or drugs since he has lived there. Davids said he wants to prevent other children from going the same route. He said the centre was established five months ago and is funded by himself and his family.

“We started feeding about 35 to 40 children in the area and now we feed about 300 children and adults.” Davids said they can’t only feed the children, the adults need to be fed too. Davids, the former site manager of a construction company, said the family-based organisation hosts its feeding scheme on Tuesdays and every last Sunday of the month. “The organisation works with children in the area and surrounding areas. They play games, do dances and much more,” Davids said. “We saw the need in the community so we decided to establish this feeding scheme,” said Davids.

Residents gather outside the home of Edries Davids who started a feeding scheme at his home.

“This organisation has had an amazing impact on the community. Our neighbours are fired up for this event and future events,” he said. Davids said it is “really bad” in the Eastridge area. “There are youngsters who use drugs or are involved in gangs. Children don’t play outside anymore. We want them to play games.” The organisation is looking to host a fun and games day on Tuesday 24 September. The games will take place in Jameson and Hertzog streets. He said the idea of the games day is to take back the streets for one day. “We want to force children to play games and we want to take over the streets,” Davids said. The games to be played include mini cricket, five-a-side soccer, netball, tricycle, bicycle, plastic scooters and skateboard riding, face-painting and more. Davids said in the future they would like to make lunch for the children for them to take to school. “We also have bigger plans for the future and we want to take the children on outings once a term.” He said the organisation is appealing to the community to donate non-perishable goods, and any other donations will be accepted and go a long way. V If anyone would like to assist or make a donation, phone Edries Davids on 078 048 3940 or send an email to wdti.foundation@gmail.com.

WESTRIDGE

Karate kids fight for gold LISA LOTTERING @demilottering

ive karate learners from Trevor’s Kyokushin School of Karate in Westridge, Mitchell’s Plain, made history when they emerged as the karate All Africa Champions. They won their championship medals and trophies at the first Kyokushin Ryu All Africa Full Contact Tournament in Mauritius on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 August. Kaylin Stubbs (elite women category), Clayton Gordon (elite men under 80kg), Raeesah Isaacs, (girls u.15), Darren Abrahams (boys u.15) and Aden Bulose (second place) competed at the competition. Stubbs (21) from Rocklands emerged as the African Continent Kyokushin Ryu Elite Women’s Champion. Stubbs started karate when she was seven and after many championship achievements in the Western Cape, she has been crowned the African Champion. Her sensei, Trevor Rustin said she is a role model for young women and girls in South Africa and Mitchell’s Plain. Stubbs said she is not just doing this for herself. “I’m doing this for all the girls in Mitchell’s Plain who feel unsafe.” When I was growing up I could see the negativity in

the media about Mitchell’s Plain. She said her parents enrolled her into karate to defend and protect herself. “Karate is all that I know.” She said she trained very hard for this and it’s all thanks to her sensei. “I have participated in various tournaments but not internationally.” She said the preparation was more intense than local competitions. “When we walked into the hall, everyone looked at us because we were the foreigners,” she added. Stubbs said she competed at this competition in 2017 but never made the podium place so she felt that she had something to prove. “I had to give 110% because I had something to prove. I trained every day. I went to the gym, did karate thrice a week and ran 3 to 4km. We also prepared mentally.” “My parents are extremely proud of me and have always supported me throughout this journey. They also saw how tired I was when I came home from work and had to go to training after,” she said. For now, Stubbs said she hopes to compete in a competition in Singapore next year, and will begin to prepare for that competition will start soon. She will also be tested for her second black belt at the end of the year.

‘Bring back death penalty’ NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku All that women want are strategic plans to stop the gender-based killings nationwide, and calls have been made for the death penalty for murderers and rapists. Hundreds of protestors including school children came together in solidarity during the march held outside parliament on Wednesday 4 September. The march, themed #RememberingNene, was in response to the growing number of senseless killings around the country. It followed shortly after a University of Cape Town student, Uyinene Mrwetyana’s body was found in Khayelitsha, at her alleged killer’s home. She was reported missing on Saturday 24 August and the suspect handed himself to the police on Monday 2 September. Angry students and citizens took to streets to say enough is enough, demanding a detailed plan on how government is intending to address the matter. They say

government has been quiet for too long, failing to serve justice for victims. Protestors were angered by a “vague” response by Beki Cele, the national minister of police. He could not give details of how his office is planning to tackle the problem. What Cele said was deemed by the public as an overrated statement. He said the law would be enforced and police would do their best to ensure justice is served, adding it is their goal to remove the perpetrators of violent crimes from society. “We understand you. This affects all of us and we are doing our best to find solutions. We know just making an arrest alone is not enough – justice must be served. We will work tirelessly to protect our women,” Cele said. UCT vice-chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng was not satisfied by his response. She said the university is addressing the matter internally, beefing up their security systems and providing help to victims. However, their hands are tied when

it comes to public spaces such as that where Uyinene was killed, she said. “How can students be satisfied with what the minister said? They are angry at government and us as the university,” Phakeng said. “I am a woman, I am asking myself if I am the next,” she added. Phakeng said counselling arrangements to help National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise (left) says women in traumatised students parliament supports the fight against senseless killing and discushave been made. sions are being help in parliament to find solutions. With her is Othandwayo Seti, a Beki Cele who was irritated by unwelcoming mood and comments learner at Cape Town made by the protestors during his address.

We are plaints about sexual harassment and more scared, stop talking and do something,” she law enforcement visibility is needed.

Conference to nurture young leaders The Young Leaders for Children Conference, to be held from Tuesday 1 to Thursday 3 October in Cape Town, aims to reach, inspire, inform and equip young leaders who work in the children and nonprofit sectors. The conference, targeted at individuals 35 years and younger, forms part of the Centre for Early Childhood Development’s (CECD) 25th birthday celebrations. Jessica Blom, programme manager at CECD, says they are very excited to present this conference. “We aim to have young people leaving the conference inspired, motivated, energised, informed and equipped to make a difference in the future of our children.” Blom says many non-profit organisations in the children’s sector lack leadership and management skills.“This is evident in a large number of children’s organisations that had to downscale or even close in the past few years. “The lack of leadership skills and finan-

cial sustainability in the NPO sector has had a significant, negative impact on services to children.” The following three main themes will be covered during the young leaders conference: . Leadership: to inspire young people to become great leaders; . Management: to provide young people with the skills on how to effectively manage and run non-profit organisations; . Children’s sector research and programmes: to inform young people about the state of children in the country and to allow individuals to share information on successful programmes they are running. Day one of the conference will kick off with a Khawuleza (“Go Quick” in isiXhosa) event. A total of 10 presenters will each hold a six-minute-long presentation. This event will showcase the work of young leaders and other initiatives. Day two and three will be filled with interactive plenary and breakaway ses-

sions covering leadership, management, research and programmes in the children’s sector. Some of the young presenters include Chaeli Mycroft from The Chaeli Campaign; Thabang Lentsoana, business adviser at TechnoServe; and Thanduxolo Mkhoyi, director of Eyentsatshane for the Little Ones ECD project. Mycroft will give a talk on “Kids can do”, focusing on changing perceptions and breaking barriers of what young people with disablities can do. Mycroft is an ability activist, adaptive athlete and an adventurer currently studying for a PhD in public law. Lentsoana will look at artificial intelligence and the future of work. The conference will take place at Inyathelo, Buchanan Square, 160 Sir Lowry Road, Woodstock. The deadline for registration is Friday 20 September. V To register, to find more information and for the cost, visit the conference website www.youngleadersforchildren.co.za.

Thanduxolo Mkoyi from Eyentsatshane For The Little Ones Early Childhood Development Project in Khayelitsha will be one of the presenters at the conference. He is pictured with Jabulisile Mzila from LETCEE and Asemahle Dyaphu from Action Volunteers Africa.

First-ever book festival held on Cape Flats Senior lecturer and an award-winning poet from University of Cape Town (UCT), Athol Williams, formed part of the organising committee of the first-ever book festival on the Cape Flats held from Saturday 31 August to Sunday 1 September. The Cape Flats Book Festival was hosted in Lentegeur by the literacy non-profit organisation, Read to Rise, of which Williams is the founder and chairperson. According to a statement, Read to Rise is committed to promoting youth literacy in schools in South Africa’s under-resourced communities. The organisation firmly believes that children need to read in order to rise in their personal develop-

ment and contribution to society. According to the statement, the organisation hopes to create excitement about reading through positive engagement with books on the Cape Flats. “This festival is one of positivity, change and the commitment of a few to change the status quo,” it read. According to Williams, a society like South Africa’s, which is flooded with negativity, needs acts of hope. “This is how I see the festival. We are planting a tree in a desert, believing that it will flourish and become a lush forest of inspiration and creativity. This is what hope can do,” said Williams.

ble and teaching students to reduce, re-use and recycle. The school is also a long-standing partner of the MPact Recycling Programme where students can help raise funds for the school by practicing recycling. Adri Marais, Christel House chief executive officer, said they are truly grateful to the Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon and WildTrust teams for donating the beautiful and eco-friendly green desks. “They are not just ergonomic and perfectly suited to our students’ needs, they also tell a sustainable story that will surely inspire many young minds,” said Marais.

WP crowned queens of SA rugby W

estern Province (WP) claimed a third consecutive South African Rugby women’s interprovincial A-Section title in searing heat at City Park in Athlone on Saturday 7 September, beating Border 38-32 in a dramatic final. The Capetonians had to fight back three times during the match to stay in contention after a strong start by Border, which saw the visitors lead 17-10 at the break. Both sides scored six tries, but two in quick succession late in the second half proved decisive for the champions. Star winger, Kimico Manuel dotted down in the opening minutes to hand WP an early lead, but a converted try by Border had them back in the lead five minutes later. Border scored their second try just after the first water break midway through the first half, with centre, Mophy Ngwevu, finishing off some good work by the forwards. The Border forwards were real-

ly strong when in possession, with good bursts and short passes allowing good interplay among their strong ball-carriers. WP, on the other hand, had some silky running by their backs to thank for their scoreboard relevance and it was Manual who again ghosted past several Border defenders to score her team’s second try after half an hour of play. Border scored their third try of the first half just before the break, with one of their wings Nosi Gada again benefitting from some strong play up front. The second half was equally entertaining. The home side drew level thanks to a Vuyo Maqholo try, with the WP fullback running a good line off a strong break by centre Shaunique Hess. Border took the lead again though, this time after their scrumhalf Unam Tose sniped through and put their replacement-winger, Akhona Dotwana, in space. That 22-17 lead was soon over-

turned by a converted try from WP, before Border again took the lead with a try. Trailing 24-29, the home side struck twice in quick succession. First WP scrumhalf Felicia Jacobs scored after a great break, and when Hess opened the Border defence shortly afterwards with a break on the counter-attack, with lock Zindiswa Xozwe on hand to score under the uprights. The home side’s lead jumped to 38-27 and with time running out, Tose got a second. But the WP defence held out in the last frantic minutes to claim glory. Scorers: WP 38 (10), Border 32 (17) WP – Tries: Kimico Manuel (2), Vuyo Maqholo, Felicia Jacobs (2), Zandiswa Xozwe. Conversions: Maqholo (2), Selladean Pietersen, Kirsten Conrad. Border – Tries: Xolelwa Diliza, Chumisa Qawe, Akhona Dotwana, Mophy Ngwevu, Nosi Goda, Unam Tose. Conversion: Chuma Qawe.

Fun in the sun in Ommiedraai race Ommiedraai and Friends Athletic Club (AC) held their annual road race on Sunday 8 September in Kenilworth. According to club officials, more than 2 500 runners took part in the 10km run and walk and a 5km fun run. Local athletes and novices came out in their numbers to support the event which meandered its way through the streets of Kenilworth and Wynberg. For many, the race was used as their final preparation run for the Cape Town Marathon, which takes place in the city on Sunday 15 September. Here is a look at a few of those who enjoyed the day:

Nantes to host fourth annual Unity Race soon RAGHEEMAH ARENDS Nantes Athletics Club (AC) in Bridgetown, is encouraging Capetonians to join the club’s annual race at the Vangate sport complex on Tuesday 24 September, before indulging in their respective Heritage Day braais later in the day. This year’s race is set to be more impactful, not only to celebrate South Africa’s melting pot of cultures, but to take a stand against gender-based violence in communities as well. The running club’s fourth race is set to be bigger and better than last year, with organisers working tirelessly to top the club’s previous races. The club’s pre-race media launch took

place at the Vangate sport complex on Thursday 5 September, giving members and the media a taste of what to expect on race day. “Our vision is that of a greener, brighter future. “We want to dedicate this race to the women and children who have lost their lives through brutality, and take a stand,” says Nantes AC’s chairperson, Errol Poggenpoel. Cassiem Mohamed, affectionately known as Boeta Cassiem, a running coach at the club, is excited for the race as it brings people together – especially during a difficult period for many communities. “I’m excited about the race since it’s a means to unite communities. More individuals should participate in sports because it’s

a good outlet for any negativity, stress and violence,” he said. Mohamed, a 64-year-old prostate cancer survivor, highlighted the importance of finding something enjoyable that allows you to be consistent in keeping fit. “If there is no enjoyment, people won’t come back. There are too many people in the community who believe that if they have diabetes or high blood, they can’t exercise. Regular exercise will benefit them a lot,” he added. The running club takes the safety of its club members seriously, especially during training. According to the race director Leon Hendricks, for the Nantes AC Unity Race, the club worked closely with the City to ensure

compliance for all safety protocols. “For the race, we have hired private security and we are fortunate enough to have neighbourhood watch volunteers come on board. We will also have the support of the police on race day,” he said. There are various distances to ensure that anyone can participate in the festivities. Individuals and groups can register for the 10km run, 10km league walk or 5km fun run, with the first race, starting at 07:00. Entry fees vary from R30 to R100, depending on age and running license, for the 10km races and R30 for the 5km fun run. There is a cash incentive for any runner who can set a new record, the winners and lucky draw prizes for participants.

Joining hands against femicide EARL HAUPT AND NOORE NACERODIEN

CTBF and CTSA’s executives joined forces to take part in the demonstration as well.

layers, coaches, administrators, umpires and other members of both the Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA) and the Cape Town Baseball Federation (CTBF) joined hands in their protest against femicide during peak traffic on the Kromboom Road bridge crossing (M5) on Friday 6 September. Passing motorists gave their approval with continuous blaring of the hooters, extending the outpouring. “A sharp increase in recent cases of femicide has pushed South African women to the brink. Protestors took to the streets of Cape Town to show their support for women and children and the atrocities they are subjected to. Our human right to be protected in society has been grossly neglected with the increase in crime,” says CTBF public relations officer, Diedré Marquard. She adds that both the CTBF and CTSA are united in supporting the cause, because #enoughisenough.“We stood in solidarity in protest receiving support from all cars hooting as they passed by. As sporting federations, we continue to support this cause and pray for justice to be served on all those who disrespect the lives of others,” she adds.

CTSA chair, Hayley Carolus was grateful for the turnout experienced at Friday’s demonstration. “The executive committee wants to thank all members for joining us on Friday. It was stepping stone towards our end goal of creating awareness around gender-based violence. Enough is enough; we need to stand together for all those who are suffering.” Lorene Beukes, vice-president of CTBF’s administration hopes that the spirit of unification between the two sporting administrative bodies continues. “Thank you to softball, and to all the ladies who were there, because it is really important. I hope that the next time we join is for a happier occasion and that our relationship keeps going and gets stronger.”
