Cadets set to impress

RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

he newly formed Cape Town Youth Cadets showed off their hard work as they marched through Cafda in a parade to salute South Africa, on Saturday 22 June. The cadets are a youth organisation that aims to teach children a range of skills that are deemed valuable for life. Aubrey Robinson, chairperson of the youth cadets explains: “We are not only concentrating only on drilling but life skills, discipline and respect, health, social, security issues and many more developmental skills which will assist them through their every-

day lives.” The organisation, established in February, is currently in the process of being registered with the Department of Social Development as a non-profit organisation and its base is at the Cafda School of Skills, in Cafda Village. Robinson adds: “We are also busy setting up a branch in Ottery, Mitchell’s Plain and are working on Hillview and Seawinds.” The cadets have a rigorous training schedule to keep them in tip top shape to perform their drills and take on all that life may have in store for them. “We have training every Saturday morning from 08:30 to 12:00. We start with our pa-

rade where we salute the SA flag while our country’s anthem is being played,” he says, adding that each week may hold a different talk that follows the parade. This talk touches on topics of drug usage, religion, motivation and the likes. Cadets are then split into groups to perform drills, after which (uniform) ironing training will take place. “Then we will get all together in a parade again for a talk by me or the branch director before we leave to enjoy the rest of the weekend.” Junior officer Sergeant Dale Batts joined the cadets after having left the naval cadets previously. “I joined the Youth Cadets because I was in the Naval Cadets and unfortu-

Y ER

nately I left. I just missed the feeling and the discipline, so I had to get back in,” he explained. Robinson encourages parents to enrol their children aged six to 21 into the programme. “We will be entering them into competitions, with other branches. For those who finish matric, we will give them references on their progress and achievements which they can add to their CVs for entering the job market. “Our reference will also assist when applying to the National Defence Force and other defence departments.” V For more information email capetownyouthcadets@gmail.com.

bright as a star The annual Night of the Stars talent show and beauty pageant is a flagship event of the Retreat Civic Centre’s mid-year school holiday programme, targeted at vulnerable youth living in Lotus River, Lavender Hill, Seawinds, Retreat, Steenberg, Pelican Park, Ottery and Coniston Park. This event, aimed at attracting youth to the City’s Recreation Hubs and for them to sign up for a variety of positive recreational activities depending on their interests, took place on Friday 21 June. Performing arts was added to the holiday programme schedule, as a result of staff listening to the needs and identifying the individual talents of participants. Months of practise all culminated into one spectacular annual event, which has been recognised by the community for boosting the self-confidence of participants. “The City of Cape Town created this opportunity for young people by providing a platform to showcase their talent and to live their dream. We have many young people who have the natural talent to become performers but don’t have opportunities. With a little bit of coaching and an audience, they can improve their skills. Participating in a show can be a stepping stone to a career in modelling or in the entertainment world,” said the Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien. This year, about 500 people braved the stormy weather to get front row seats to the fantastic display of fashion, talent, and entertainment. In total, there were 42 models and 25 entertainers between the ages of 13 and 25. Each participant was allowed to bring two guests and the support received was amazing. A modelling agency came on board to assist with choreography for the fashion show,

and a local talent scouting agency attended the event, in search of new talent. A few hair salons from the community also sponsored free hair styling services (for boys and girls), and wherever there was a need, local businesses contributed various items of clothing. Badroodien said for many young people, the opportunity to participate in a fashion show means a lot for their self-esteem and building confidence and character which will assist them in becoming responsible citizens. “But the show is also about having fun, which we sometimes don’t have time for. The event also builds community cohesion as a lot of young participants made their parents and family members proud. It’s also an opportunity for the local community to get together. “The level of cooperation and partnership motivated City staff, who commit many hours and much passion into planning this event every year, including organising of transport, catering, prizes, security, sound and lighting, practise sessions, choreography, costume planning and imparting life skills. I would like to thank the event organisers, but also the participants for having the courage in showing their confidence. Without them, the show would not have been possible,” added Badroodien. In the coming week, City staff at the Retreat Civic recreation hub will be hosting workshops and focus groups with the youth, to establish how to improve the event going forward. The pageant winners were, Queen, Chantalle Davids, with Zhandre Sias as first princess and Erin Delport as second princess. Diego Zutphen was King of the pageant with Reece Williams as first prince and Elijah Coleman as second prince.

Cele visits family of slain cop RACINE EDWARDES AND EARL HAUPT @RaeEdwardes; @EarlHaupt

“T

here’s going to be an emptiness from our side. There’s someone walking out there, telling people he did it and now he’s the hero, but my brother was the hero. He did his job to the best of his ability.” These were the words of Carmen Jansen, sister of slain Steenberg Police Station’s Sergeant Donovan Prins. Prins was killed in the line of duty during an operation in Lavender Hill on Monday 24 June where an alleged shooting incident ensued outside on Grindel Crescent, near an infamous gang warzone. Police Minister Bheki Cele visited the family at their home on Wednesday 26 June to convey his sympathy personally to Prins’ mother Rachel Prins, who had returned home from hospital. A resident, who would not be named and lives in a street parallel to Grindal Avenue, said she heard a number of gunshots after 23:00 on the night of Prins’ death. She said many of her neighbours ran to the scene after it had quietened down. She also alleges that the incident was a result of the gang warfare that has ravaged the Lavender Hill community. “This is mongrel territory behind here,” she said gesturing to the street behind her residence where the incident took place. Prins’ father, Richard cut a forlorn figure during Cele’s visit, while his wife and son’s wife, Shaldene, consoled each other as Cele spoke to those in attendance. “We don’t know what to do right now. My mind is not here. He was my only son (and) we are heartsore,” says Richard. Cele confirms two people have been questioned regarding the incident and they are getting direction from them. No arrests have been made. V Anyone with information on any crimes is urged to please come forward and call the police or the City’s Public Emergency Communication Centre by dialling 021 480 7700 from a cellphone, or 107 from a landline.

Crèches sign facility agreement with City The 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 Badroodien 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/ ECD-FMA.

Fire ravages home, almost nothing left RACINE EDWARDES #RaeEdwardes

fter 23:00 on Wednesday 19 June, several residents lost all they owned in a fire that ravaged the corner of Komlossy and Runge streets in Cafda. One of the residents on the property, Anthony Adonis has lived in the home for about 13 years since being given the property by a relative. Adonis recapped the events that unfolded on the night: “We heard something that sounded like gunshots, so we checked what was going on outside. “We ran outside to the neighbour opposite the road and they said it’s burning over there,” Adonis said, gesturing to his plot. Ashleigh Hendricks, another resident at the property, added: “We saw some of the people who live there jumping over the wall to escape the fire and that’s when we realised how big it really was.” The flames were doused by Lakeside Fire Department. Referring to the cause of the fire, Adonis said: “I think it was arson. This is gang area.” He is adamant that the fire was caused as a result of a hit on one of the gang-affiliated neighbours which had gone wrong.

Residents confirmed that officials from the City’s Disaster Risk Management team had visited the home after the fire to provide relief in the form of food parcels, which they said would only be delivered for up to three days after the incident. With no electricity still, by Tuesday 25 June, Adonis and his wife were faced with living in the charred remains of their home without the means to cook, bath or carry out basic daily tasks, and had resorted to using electricity from their neighbour on Runge Street. By Tuesday afternoon, the City’s Informal Settlements and Backyarder Department had delivered supplies to Adonis and the Hendricks families to rebuild their homes. With some form of relief being delivered, there were still two major issues that perturbed the residents. Thurston Hendricks shared the sentiment felt by all who had endured the incident. “What upsets us so much, is that our ward councillor was not here. The secretary was very helpful, but our councillor did not come,” he said. The second challenge faced was that regarding the receipt of the case number from the police who responded to the scene. “Everyone who wants to help us needs the case

Adonis’s wife, Berenice, confirmed that she received a case number more than a week later, on Thursday 25 June. The residence is still currently without electricity because, according to Berenice, the council requires the residents to have the house cleared by a qualified electrician before they can restore power.

Women ready to bring about change Women from different communities in the Cape Flats say a lot needs to be done to bring change in their communities. PHOTO:

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 organisations 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 identify 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.

Computer training to develop skills In order to give access to important knowledge and skills, the Community Development and Training Centre New World Foundation (NWF) is offering basic and advanced computer training to the community. Daniela Schlichter, project manager at New World Foundation says computer literacy is considered a very important skill to have in life, to get and retain a work opportunity but also for personal benefit – the foundation feels it is essential. Mellisa Cupido, a former student of the computer training at NWF says: “In the modern world that we live in today, computers are being used on a daily basis – in the working environment, shops, banks just about everywhere. Knowing the many uses of computers and how to access them effectively is a valuable skill that I have gained through these computer classes. “This training has helped me to better my chances for a promotion in my workplace. It is a stepping-stone towards reaching my goal of becoming an administrator.”

New learners from the previous course are taught Basic and Advanced Computer Skills at New World Foundation. Each computer training course at NWF takes about one month. After completing the basic computer training, students can join the advanced computer training. After successfully completing a course, participants receive a training certificate. Part of the computer training is also a free

job readiness component, which includes training for interviews, communication, conflict resolution, time management skills and human rights at the workplace. In the basic computer training course, participants learn how to use computers, get familiarised with the programme Microsoft

Word, learn how to create their own CV and email address, as well as what to use the internet for and how to navigate it. Advanced computer training teaches participants to capture data using the programme Microsoft Excel, as well as get to know how to use PowerPoint to set up presentations. “Besides gaining practical computer skills, participants gain the confidence to a better future. In today’s time it’s no more pen and paper, but keyboard and mouse,” says Gaaziem Rademeyer, another past student. “All you need to do is to be committed, attend the course regularly and be excited about what you are learning.” The next basic computer training will be offered from Monday 8 July until Thursday 8 August, every Monday to Thursday from 09:00 to 13:00, at a cost of R200 for the entire course.

Operation Smile to benefit from Funny Festival 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 festiLindy Johnson will vals, you will be performing at know why this the Funny Festival. is such an excit-

ing 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.

Don’t miss the Woman in Black M

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

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.

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

Runners take to the park N

antes Athletic Club in Bridgetown played host to the Western Province Athletics Winter Cross Country event on Sunday 30 June. The event was held at Nantes Park and attracted 1300 athletes in the junior to senior divisions. V Rashied Isaacs took the photos.

Nancy Wills of Pinelands AC in the 8km. Migeul Gantang (5) in the colours of Ravensmead AC finishing the 1km event for juniors.

Eddie Smith of Fish Hoek AC in the 8km.

Action continues at Killarney Just 14 days after midwinter, the second half of the 2019 motorsport season at Killarney International Raceway gets underway with the Independence Day Power Series sponsored by Wingfield Motors on Saturday 6 July. It’s themed, of course, for the national day of the United States of America, the Fourth of July, with lots of red, white and blue – and the sound of big American V8 engines in many of the categories. Once again the programme is full, with races for the Mikes Place Clubman Saloons, Burly Pro GTi Challenge, Millstock Classic and Shatterfix Fine Cars, V8 Masters and Makita Supercars, Pirelli Sports and GT Cars and Formula Libre Single-seaters. Fans of two-wheeled action will be treated to three classes of motorcycle races: the Powersport formula races, the Clubmans ‘run wot ya brung’ series and the 280km/h RST Superbikes, lapping in a fraction over 70 seconds and cornering at lean angles that seemingly redefine the laws of physics. The Mikes Place Clubman Saloons have again attracted the largest field with 43 entries, ranging from Danie van Niekerk’s hissing, snarling Wingfield Motors E36 to a couple of 1.8 litre Golf Mk1s at the other end of the pack – but everybody has someone to race with and the dicing will be intense throughout the field. The Burly Pro GTi Challenge is, of course, all about front-wheel drive VW power; the cars are very evenly matched and the racing is robust, to put it politely – GTi Challengers say theirs is a contact sport! Look for Nian du Toit (Allied Fibreglass Jetta 3 2L) and Christopher Swart (Village Paint and Hardware Jetta 2 2L) to set the pace. The big question in the Millstock Classic and Shatterfix Fine Car races is who will keep Franco Donadio and the all-conquering Harkers Escort honest – and in the absence of an entry from Charles Arton (Datsun 240Z), who narrowly beat Donadio last time out it will be up to Louis Powell and the Hoosier Escort to take the fight to Donadio. With 27 entries this will be another crowded race; expect action throughout the field, especially among the leading Fine Cars, where Arnold Lambert (VW Jetta) and Robert Toscano (Techoparts MX5) will be at it again, picking up where they left off at the last meeting – less than a second apart. For many fans, the rumble of the big-inch Ford engines in the V8 masters will be the highlight of this Independence Day meeting. This is likely to come down to a shootout between Fabio Tafani, Richard Schreuder and Sean Moore – but don’t ask us to predict the

order. Craig Jarvis’ Maui Motorhomes Ginetta G57 is in a class of its own in Pirelli Sports and GT racing, but well worth seeing for the incredible speeds it achieves – it holds the ultimate lap record at Killarney International Raceway with a time of 1m 06.745sec – while the best of the rest are likely to be Steve Humble in the Harp Mallock 14B and Maarten Prins’ Porsche GT3 Cup. The same situation applies in the openwheeler Formula Libre races, with Dee-Jay Booysen starting as clear favourite in his Dico RM08. There is likely, however, to be a major dogfight for second between Sean le Riche and Julian van der Watt, each in a Ford Zetecpowered Mygale. Hayden Jonas and the WP Motors YZF R1 have won every RST Suzuki South Superbike race at Killarney so far this season, while arch-rival Ronald Slamet (P/M Motorsport R1) has been always in the frame but never a winner. Will this be the day when he breaks Jonas’ winning streak, or will Trevor Westman on the Mad Macs ZX-10R finally deliver on the potential that’s always there for another monumental win? You’ll just have to be there to see for yourself. Kewyn Snyman set a new lap record for 600cc motorcycles of 1min 12.596sec last time out on the Hillbilly R6 – expect to see him mixing it a with the second tier of litre-class bikes. Also in the frame, ready to pounce should Snyman make the slightest error, will be Jared Schultz on the ASAP World R6. These two are as fast or faster than the litre-class SuperMasters riders; there we are likely to see Malcolm Rapson and his familyfunded Kawasaki ZX-10R fending off the attention of Rob Cragg (Mad Macs ZX-10R) and Quintin Ebden. Lubabalo Ntisana scored an epic maiden win on the LB Autos ZX-10R in the Clubman Class at the previous round; get ready for a three-way fight – on identical machines – with Wayne Arendse (Kawasaki ZX-10R) and Sean Mackrill (GFP Lighting ZX-10R). Add to that a dark horse in the shape of veteran ‘Danie van Killarney’ Maritz, temporarily out of retirement on the Suzuki Pre-Sling with which he won the 1987 Western Province championship, and you have the makings of a thriller. Access to the pits paddock is free all day. The famous Fan Walk brings spectators down onto the circuit during the lunch break to meet the competitors in one of the categories – a different one each time! Gates open at 07:30 and racing begins at 10:00.
