GRASSY PARK | VRYGROND
Children’s joy wins out RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
A
drive to create awareness about HIV/ Aids saw members from Where Rainbows Meet Training and Development Foundation walking the streets of Grassy Park, handing out condoms and demonstrating how to use them to passersby. “On Monday 2 December, we started our World Aids Day drive at Grassy Park Community Health Clinic, which gives us an opportunity to raise even more awareness around the pandemic that is HIV/Aids. “We once again took to the streets to raise awareness among pedestrians and motorists
alike on the importance of condomising, abstinence and knowing your status through our chants, distribution of condoms and speaking to people on the streets about HIV/ Aids,” the marketing manager and fundraiser at the centre, Fatiema Asvat, said. The high from this drive was not long lived. On Thursday 5 December, the foundation’s Vrygrond centre was burgled. Criminals broke the centre’s fence and gained entry to the facility, stealing 130 gifts which included puzzles, colouring books, toothbrushes, sweets and crayons. “On Friday (13 December), we had our annual Christmas party. “We received so much love and support
from organisations and businesses and from people in the community. “Internationally, they have acknowledged what has happened to us, and Cape Town has been so, so good to us,” said Mymoena Scholtz, chief executive officer (CEO) of the foundation. She added that it was discouraging to see the efforts of the Reddam House learners gone to waste. “The kids put so much effort into wrapping all the boxes,” Scholtz said. She blamed the burglary on the high prevalence of addiction in the community. “The drug addicts don’t think about what they’re doing.”
Scholtz said despite the close-knit community being familiar with each person who lives there, there has been no headway in the case. No one reported any information to police. “There’s not a word about it in our community and they need to change their mindsets and start reporting, and not keep quiet. In all the years we’ve done the Christmas party, this is the first year they’ve done this to us,” she remarked woefully. Despite the setback, the centre still hosted their Christmas party on Friday 13 December and celebrated the year with the children in Phumlani Village informal settlement.

Deputy police minister Cassel Mathale says during their recruitment process more than 500 000 applications were received. Of this, only 5 000 were successful. He says in the light of the rise in the number of cases of gender-based violence, much focus was also placed on preparing the recruits to deal with these cases and “ensure proper victim support is provided”.
A total of 5 000 police recruits have successfully completed their police training and will be deployed to stations across the country ahead of the festive season. The recruits graduated at a police parade at five colleges across the country; with 1 045 officers graduating in Cape Town, on Friday 13 December. The parade was held at the Philippi Po-

Rehab centre to take new approach RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes
T
he Freeway Recovery Centre, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre in Retreat, has taken the numerous rejections from corporate social investors as a learning curve. Now it is looking to incorporate the rehabilitation of the entire family into the recovery journey of each addict in the programme. Struggling to find funding, the non-profit organisation has fallen on hard times since its inception two years ago (“Safe-haven risks eviction, need funds”, People’s Post, 3 September) and is facing eviction next month. Greg Craig, director of the centre and former addict, explains that to find a new space for people in the programme – and funds – it has proven to be beneficial to include the entire family. “Our biggest thing for 2020 is trying to raise the capital for the house. What has been happening for us is that when we speak to organisations and companies, they tell us that we do not fit their criteria. They say they don’t fund recovery.” The advice from these companies has forced the organisation to go back to the drawing board. “Through recovery, we know that addiction affects 16 other people in the addict’s life. It has a ripple effect in the community. It affects the partner, the children and many more. If the addict is the breadwinner then this affects the family – where do they get food? How do they support themselves?” He adds: “Now we’re working with various organisations who deal with family care. So we won’t only take the addict through the recovery process, we take the family through the recovery process as well.” The organisation will be getting its paper-

work ready to comply with the City’s by-laws and to establish a modern rehabilitation and training facility. This will include an early childhood development centre and other facilities. The idea is to help people become selfreliant by offering training and providing rehabilitation to help them become productive members of society. The estimated time of completion is set for October next year, should the centre acquire the necessary funding and approvals.

I am Dr Roschelle Freeks and I’ve recently opened my Medical Practice joining forces with Dr Junaid Thompson of Thompson Dental to form the Retreat Medical Centre. I’ve spent many years attending to the medical needs of people from all over the Cape Flats to Seapoint. I feel like I’ve come home at last. Ever since I was a 12 year old little girl I’ve known this is what I wanted to do. You would know the kind of hard struggle it takes to get from where you’ve been to somewhere better -
I think it’s like climbing Kilimanjaro! I’ve learned that you grow in life through tenacity and in being of service to your community; and that as you grow, you grow hand in hand with the ones who pull you along. I would love to be part of helping you take care of yourself and your family. Please give me a call if you have any questions, or even pop into the surgery for a little chat.

iconic coloured cabins are also a fun activity at Surfer’s Corner. . Hiking and exploring in the Kalk Bay caves, otherwise known as spelunking, is a popular activity for tourists in the south. . Horse riding on Noordhoek Beach is another one of Daniel’s top picks. Rides can be booked through Imhoff’s Equestrian Centre. . “The town of Kalk Bay is a lunch time and tea time attraction,” says Daniel. He encourages visitors to the area to explore the quaint town. . He adds the Cape Point Vineyard market as a popular attraction. “The sunset from Cape Point is magnificent.” . Two more attractions are Chapman’s Peak and the Hoerikwaggo hiking trail. Cape Town Tourism CEO Enver Duminy noted concerns around safety during the season, in a City statement. “While Cape Town Tourism plays a supportive role in tourist safety across the city, we recognise that safety and security is primarily a South African Police Service function. Local law enforcement agencies also collaborate where possible to enhance and amplify the efforts being made. We have, however, deployed TravelWise Ambassadors as visible ambassadors welcoming tourists to our city while providing safety and visitor information to enhance their time here,” said Duminy. V To find more things to do, visit the Get South website: https://getsouth.co.za/.
ith so much to see and do in Cape Town it comes as no surprise that a 30% increase in the number of tourists is expected this festive season. Daniel Blaauw, the director of Get South, an online marketing platform for the deep south, shares some favourite attractions to keep Capetonians – and all the tourists – busy. According to a City of Cape Town statement, it is predicted that Cape Town could have 50 000 travellers arrive from the United Kingdom (UK) between December and March next year. This 30% increase in tourists is 10% more than expected in Germany and 19% more than the United States of America (USA) over the same period. The prediction comes after Cape Town was voted the world’s best city for tourism for the seventh time in a row by readers of the UK’s The Telegraph online newspaper. Here’s Daniel’s top suggestions on what to do this holiday: . Boulders Beach is always popular. According to Daniel, visitors are not only able to see the penguins but also take out a kayak and spend time with them in the water. . Swim in the tidal pools. “We have such a variety of tidal pools in the south, which is amazing.” These ocean water pools can be found at Seaforth Beach, Miller’s Point, The Bay at Kalk Bay, Brass Bell Beach, Wooley’s and the Fish Hoek Steps tidal pool, to name a few. All it takes is a bit of time and the spirit of adventure to find the perfect spot along the deep south coast. . “Surfing is the key tourist attraction of Muizenberg,” says Daniel. But swimming, relaxing and taking some Instagramma- Touring groups often visit Cape of Good Hope during their holidays in ble pictures of the South Africa. PHOTO: RACINE EDWARDES

I wanted to help the older people. “Most of them here don’t have children to do this for them and no grandchildren.” One of the elders receiving pampering, was Maggie Francis. She added: “We’ve got no grandchildren to do this for us. But the grandchildren want to be on the street, doing funny things, in any case.”
She said those who were invited were much in need of a day of pampering. The day began with breakfast for the elderly guests, followed by a scripture reading and then a pedicure. Even though some of the guests had already eaten, food was sent home with them to make sure they were provided for. “I’m very happy about this,” Maggie said. “She (Minnie) is the only one that I know of that is doing this. “I’m glad because I can’t bend anymore to cut my toenails. I’m 72-years-old, and I’m going to be 73 in February.” The elders who were invited attend the centre’s soup kitchen weekly. Having learnt their stories, Minnie identified them as the ones who could do with some love and care. Minnie, who is above the age of 60 herself, was not able to do the pampering as she too has difficulty bending these days, but she was able to call on some of the local children

Blitzboks fall short in Cape Town EARL HAUPT @EarlHaupt
W
hile the boisterous partisan crowd filled the air with expectation at the Cape Town stadium, the Blitzboks fell agonisingly short of claiming their home leg of World Rugby’s Sevens World Series on Sunday 15 December. Coach Neil Powell’s men were beaten 7-5 by archrivals New Zealand in a nervy final in front of the 55 804-strong crowd who packed the stadium. In total, 119 539 people streamed through the gates during the threeday spectacle – a record for the event. After a scoreless first half, Justin Geduld handed the home team the lead after the restart but could not slot the subsequent conversion. As a result, Ngarohi McGarveyBlack broke South African hearts three minutes later when he dotted over under the posts, which made Akuila Rokolisoa’s pending conversion a mere formality. Despite the loss, Powell was satisfied with his team’s display over the past two weekends, which saw them bag the title in Dubai a week earlier. “We had two good weeks, playing in two finals and winning one,” said Powell. “That is a much better start than last season and, bar the two line-outs we fluffed in the final, we had a good tournament. I certainly cannot fault the effort of the players.” Earlier in the day, in their semi-final, the Blitzboks had to fight back to secure a 21-14 win over France. Despite Marvin O’Connor’s try, converted by Paulin Riva, an inspired phase of play, which started within their half, saw Ruhan Nel dive over for a seven-point score. JC Pretorius’s clever dummy flummoxed the French defence and allowed him to coast over the try line unopposed, allowing the Blitzboks to lead the contest for the first time. Geduld duly slotted the conversion to move the score to 14-7. Captain Siviwe Soyizwapi capped off a spirited display, rounding off another attacking move from their defensive quarter to take the match beyond France’s reach and
to book their spot in the showpiece of the tournament despite a late consolation try by Jonathan Laugel. In their quarter-final clash against Kenya, Blitzboks turned in a clinical second-half display to see out their fellow Africans in a 17-5 win. It wasn’t all plain sailing, though. Local hearts were sent aflutter when, against the run of play, Kenya took an early 5-0 lead through an unconverted try by Alvin Otieno. However, Nel would restore parity, much to the delight of the home crowd, but Justin Geduld failed to convert, leaving the scores deadlocked at 5-5 at half-time. During the tournament, Geduld became the fourth South African player in the World Series to score 1000 career points after Cecil Afrika, Branco du Preez and Seabelo Senatla. Shortly after the restart, Nel would secure his brace after rounding off a well-orchestrated line-out, converted by Geduld. Selwyn Davids put the game beyond Kenya’s grasp when he chased down a kick by skipper Soyizwapi. Nel, however, could not play in the final after picking up an injury in the semi-final win. He was sorely missed. “It was a pity that I could not play in the final, but that is the way rugby goes sometimes,” said Nel. “At least I played in two full tournaments and we did very well. I am now returning to fifteens, but I am very pleased with my short comeback to sevens. At least I know my conditioning will be right up there when I join the Stormers soon.” Meanwhile, the Springbok women’s Sevens team, Imbokodo, who made their debut at the Cape Town Sevens, finished 10th. Coach Paul Delport applauded his squad’s efforts, saying the tenth-place finish was what they were aiming for. “We realised that our intensity was not good enough and, therefore, our defence suffered and we made some poor decisions on attack,” said Delport. “But that was always par for the course as we last played at any level close to this last year at the Rugby World Cup Sevens.”

Rain wreaks havoc on local pitches GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS
R
ain put paid to newly-promoted Strandfontein’s chances of gaining muchneeded points in their Western Province Cricket Association Premier League match against Durbanville on Saturday 14 December. After batting first and being dismissed for 131, Saliegh Jaffar (31) top scored for Strandfontein and immediately hit back to have their opponents reeling at 124/9, still eight runs short of victory with a solitary wicket remaining. Intermittent rain caused the game to be called off with Durbanville eventually awarded the points by virtue of a superior run rate. Most of the other games suffered the same fate, with Rylands continuing their purple patch, getting the better of Gugulet-
hu. Primrose managed to finish their game before the rain interfered with a surprisingly easy six-wicket win over Edgemead.
