Band to rescue youth

H
er passion for youth and community development has propelled her to do something to cultivate a sense of purpose and help the youth escape gangsterism. Shamiela De Villiers is the manager and coach for the Hanover Park Community Marching Band which was launched last year in March. “The reason why I started this marching band was to discipline children and to also keep them off the street and away from drugs and gangsterism,” she explains. The marching band is divided into two; the first group consists of 12 girls and boys between the age of six and eight. The second group has 40 girls and boys aged between 9 and 18. De Villiers is strict when it comes to prac-
tise sessions and attendance, which happens every day after school. She says they never used to practise so often, but because they have a few upcoming competitions they will be participating in, they felt they needed to up their game. The band is not just about marching but about instilling a sense of change in their mindsets. “I want them to occupy their minds with positive thoughts instead of standing on the corners and end up joining gangs,” she explains. De Villiers says she made the uniform for the band herself. To keep the momentum and to remain inspired, De Villiers calls upon parents to get involved. She says she would like the mothers to get involved by maybe donating anything they think would be needed. She says she has been depending on support from her friends for items such
as small food packs for when they travel. That includes transport as most of the youngsters who participate come from unprivileged families. She also thanked all the people who have made donations such as drums. Her wish is to have more young people join the band. According to her, that would change the narrative and perception people have about Hanover Park. “People think if you live in Hanover Park you have no talent. They think we run around with guns. “All these children have so much potential,” she says. She complains of an open field they used to use to practise on. They are now unable to use it because gangsters perform their “activities” there, she says. Marching members Kiyana Sass (11) and Tiarick Levin (15) say they enjoy being part
of the band. They wish for all their parents to show support and involvement in the band – a wish all the members of the band share. Tiarick, a Grade 10 learner at Mount View High School, says he has been part of the band for a year. He says he has no intentions of quitting because he enjoys marching and the lessons “aunty” teaches them. “She teaches us how to march, respect and discipline,” he says. Kiyana, a Grade 5 learner of Bellmore Primary School, echoes the same sentiment. “Aunty teaches us to always salute with our right hand,” she said. She added she wants to carry on marching with the band. When she finishes school, she dreams of becoming an air hostess. V To make a donation or to book the band, call De Villiers on 084 264 1108.

how medical funds were depleted quickly, especially with athletes,” she says. “Athletes would go back and forth to doctors and never recover. It was like the more tablets they get, the sicker they get. After researching the magnesium, I thought that if I could educate children about living a healthier life, then they could put bread on the table,” she says. Knowing the restorative benefits of magnesium, Niemann started sponsoring athletes, who saw a remarkable increase in healing and reduced durations of sport-related injuries. Niemann says many of the children they now work with have lost either one or both parents and end up becoming the breadwinners in their households. This results in them not looking after their bodies. Niemann believes that assisting in improving their health, it assists them in putting bread on the table, through prize money or sponsorships for young talent. The recent addition to their athletes and ambassadors is also Paralympic athlete Hylton Langenhoven, who is using and endorsing the benefits of the product leading up to the upcoming Paralympic Games. “The product is a tool. With every product that is bought, it makes it possible for us to sponsor an athlete. There are so many athletes who need support,” she says. This is sometimes financial support to assist in getting young athletes to training camps or access to sessions where they can be scouted. The company had recent such success with a young athlete being sponsored to a training camp and running himself into a scholarship. The athletes are from all over the country
A
fter her 16-year-old son was hospitalised around 10 years ago, Benita Niemann set out to investigate the benefits of a mineral few acknowledge as important. Magnesium, she would come to realise, is one of the most important minerals in your body. “As a single mother of three, I basically lost everything because of medical bills. My son ended up in ICU. He was a flatline. At that time, my total hospital bill came to R200 000. It bankrupted me,” says Niemann, founder of Magnesium Café. “My son had liver damage and the doctors said they could not give him any medication because it was too strong for his liver. They pulled him through with a Panado drip and prayer.” Following her son’s ordeal and recovery, Niemann started researching magnesium and founded Magnesium Café. She had sold other products before finding Doctor Frank Muller who assisted her in developing Mag1, a magnesium mineral supplement, designed for maximum absorption into the body. Magnesium plays a role in more than 350 enzymatic processes in the body, which include the metabolism of food, synthesis of fatty acids and proteins, and the transmission of nerve impulses. The human body contains around 25g of magnesium, of which most is stored in the skeletal system. The rest is present in muscle, soft tissues, and bodily fluids. The company was founded in October 2017 and is based in Tyger Valley. “Medical bills destroyed me and I realised there must be something more and that is when I started with magnesium. I worked for a medical aid company and I would see

Benita Niemann and all use the product to assist them in improving their performance and healing. “I wanted to start a non-profit organisation (NPO), but recently joined up with an existing NPO, the Hendrick Ramaala Sports Foundation. They heard about me sponsoring the athletes and asked if I would like to partner with them. They are quite well known with supporting marathon athletes,” she says. “We are hoping companies will get involved through our NPO partnership and that people will get involved because these athletes need a lot of support.” Each bottle of 30 tablets cost only R99. At this stage, the product is available at some pharmacies and health shops. There are also agents selling products and is available for sale via their online store.

Students lead the way to health TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji
A
group of fourth-year medical students from the University of Cape Town (UCT) did a health promotion project to educate mothers about HIV and the importance of getting tested throughout pregnancy – and beyond – to reduce mother to child HIV transmission. The students, Angela Strydom, Themba Ndovi, Nomalizo Duze, Bradley Thompson, Michelle Yi-Tin Yuan and Alana Williams hosted talks with the mothers and nurses at the Vanguard Maternity and Obstetric Unit (MOU). They want to implement a long-term project to improve clinical management of HIV testing in mothers and they have been working alongside one of the doctors at the clinic. The students designed a stamp that will be placed in the Road to Health Booklet (a booklet mothers are given once the baby is born and is used at every check-up visit) to encourage HIV testing and keep a record of these tests. They have been working on this project since the beginning of June but it was implemented on Wednesday 24 July and their stamp is going to be rolled out in the next few weeks. Williams says students are allocated dif-
ferent communities and have to design a health promotion project that addresses the needs or problems of the community. “We were placed at Vanguard and through our engagement with one of the doctors who works there, Dr Mosedi Namane, we identified that a problem is mother-to-child transmission of HIV after pregnancy or while the mother is breastfeeding,” she says. “We also did a presentation (today) where we educated the mothers about HIV and held a discussion with the nurses. This is the first time that we were actively involved in health promotion for patients,’’ says Williams. She adds the importance of testing for mother and child: “Firstly, for the mother, it is important for her health and it will also ensure that she is healthy to take care of her baby. The sooner the mother gets tested, the sooner HIV can be picked up. The mother can start treatment and the chances of transmission decrease significantly. It is also important for the lifelong health of the baby,” explains Williams. Williams adds: “We feel incredibly proud to be able to implement an intervention that will have a lasting impact on the community. By doing this project we hope to empower women to take charge of their own health, their sexuality and help them during their transition in motherhood.”

Matric challenge a success R
ylands Library hosted the eighth Matric Challenge on Tuesday 23 July. The programme is designed to bring the set work papers for Grade 12 learners to life and help prepare them for examinations. “The importance of reading cannot be emphasised enough and by making it fun and interactive, we hope to instil a love for reading in as many young people as we can reach,” says Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien. “Set work in high school is often seen as a chore, but with the Matric Challenge learners are shown a creative way of looking at the prescribed work and learning at the same time.” The Matric Challenge started eight years ago as a Friends of Rylands library initiative – in association with the passionate staff at the facility. “Some of the aims of the Matric Challenge are to encourage teenagers to read with un-
derstanding, improve their study skills, understand the set work from different viewpoints, create a competitive learning environment and provide learners with an opportunity to meet with peers from other schools,” says Badroodien. The first competition took place with two participating schools, Rylands High School and Dural Islam High School. This year, eight high schools from the surrounding area and a few from the greater Cape Town area participated. The schools are Crystal House, Athlone High, Rylands High, Gardens Commercial High, Oaklands High, Manenberg High, The Leadership College, and Al Azhar High. “I commend all the learners who participated as it shows a commitment to their education and a willingness to acquire new learning skills. As they start a period of intense study before the final exams I wish them all the best and encourage them to make use of the facilities available at our libraries,” says Badroodien, in hopes of getting the youth into libraries. Each school had two teams consisting of five participants and they were given questions on their set workbooks with permission to discuss answers before writing them down. The challenge included four set-workbooks: Othello, Hamlet, The Life of Pi and The Picture of Dorian Gray. First-time entrants, Crystal House in Ottery walked away as the comCrystal House walked away as the winners of the eighth Matric petition winners. Challenge hosted in Rylands Library.

Tales of the District THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo
A
Lenterguer woman was motivated to pen down her memories of living in District Six as a child when television personality Soli Philander apparently said, in an interview on 3Talk with Noeleen years ago, that the Cape Flats has beautiful stories to tell but coloured people were too lazy to write. Philander’s words prompted Farieda Abrahams to tell the stories of what was happening around her as a young girl when people were enraged by the apartheid government’s decision to have District Six declared a white’s only area. “At that time, I did not understand what this meant, all I thought was: ‘Okay, all the houses are going to be painted white, what is the big deal?’,” Abrahams said. After months of living in Hanover Park, Abrahams realised that they would not be moving back to their lovely District Six home. Years later, upon watching the episode with Philander as a guest and encouragement from a colleague, she finally got the courage

CRIME WRAP V Hanover Park: A 26-year-old man was arrested at 00:30 on Thursday 25 July by Philippi East police officers. This was while they were conducting crime prevention duties, when they confronted and searched the suspect at Landry Walk. They found a .38 Rossi revolver with a serial number that had been removed from it. The suspect will appear in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court on a charge of illegal possession of a firearm soon. V Hanover Park: An 18-year-old man was arrested at 14:30 on Wednesday 24 July by Philippi East police. The police were conducting crime prevention du-
ties when they received a tip-off from the community. The tip-off was about the suspect who was allegedly seen dropping a bag, trying to flee from the police. When the police caught him, they found an undisclosed amount of drugs which included mandrax, crystal meth and heroine. Police confiscated the drugs with an estimated street value of R1000. He appeared in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court on Monday 29 July on drug-related charges. V Crawford: A man (29) was arrested by security guards at 04:00 on Wednesday 24 July. This was after Shaza securi-
ty guards who were patrolling in Burwood Road spotted a man carrying something. They stopped, searched him and found a municipal water metre. When the security guards asked where he got the object from, he reportedly could not respond. He appeared in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court on Friday 26 July for charges of being in possession of stolen property. V Hanover Park: A 37-year-old man was arrested at 03:30 on Saturday 20 July by Philippi East police. This was after the police were conducting crime prevention duties when they confiscated mandrax to the estimated value of R2400 at Johndown Walk. He appeared in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court on drug-related charges.
PAYING RESPECT: Hout Bay residents laid flowers at the East Fort site where a Ukrainian tourist, Ivan Inavov (44) was stabbed to death on Saturday 27 July. The father of three was hiking from Chapman’s Peak in the Table Mountain National Park when he was attacked by three men who stole his backpack with all his belongings. In an effort to claim back their public spaces and pay their respects to Inavov, Hout Bay residents gathered at the site and laid flowers on Sunday 28 July. A suspect has been arrested in connection with the attack and made his first court appearance at Wynberg Magistrate’s Court yesterday (Monday 29 July).
Right people key to success of business PROMOTION To be in business for almost 22 years is an achievement in itself but would not be possible without the right employees. This is how Nathaniel Roberts, owner of Timbacore in Stikland, sums up his success through the years since his company was established in 1998. To make a success of a business is a miracle and you’ll have to deal with trials and new challenges on the way. “International statistics show that a very small percentage of companies make it past the 10-year mark. The odds are in my favour as I am celebrating 21 years in business,” he said. If he and any employee make a mistake, he refers to the mistake as ‘paying school fees’ and stepping stones. “It is difficult to get the right staff. A lot of people start or get chances but not all live up to your expectations. I have employees with 21 years or less experience at Timbacore and they eat, sleep and live Timbacore. Staff that I’ve depended on over the years are Theo Gomes from Retreat, Thembinkosi Qhashana from Khayelitsha, Roland Fortuin from Delft and Fikile Damba from Khayelitsha. Two of my salesmen who started right at the bottom as general workers, Jerome Meintjies from Delft and Shawn Williams from Blue Downs are all advertisements for Timbacore,” he said. He and Gomes worked together at another company in 1994 and when Roberts started his own in 1998, Gomes joined him. “Theo is an example to all. He is always at work and the only time I can recall that he took off, was when his parents passed on. The customers love him, he loves his job and he is a very humble person. He cannot stand dishonesty and you know exactly where you stand with him,” Roberts stated. Timbacore does site installations and when an unforeseen problem arises, the company takes responsibility.
The staff of Timbacore in Stikland. “A brand is very important. I can recall when I started my first business, customers would not necessarily pay a deposit because they didn’t know me. Therefore, trust is important, in the brand and in the person that the customer is dealing with. They usually compare a new brand with established ones and tend to forget that each brand has its own rules. “Through the years I have made sure that my brand, Timbacore, is advertised on the radio, in magazines, brochures, on the front page of the Yellow Pages and on front pages of various newspapers – all to make the public aware of the brand,” he said. He also has incentives – performance bonuses and commission – for his employees as an encouragement to work harder. Roberts started in Maitland in 1998 with four staff members doing installations. He opened the first retail shop in 2001 at premises in Durban Road, Tyger Valley and then moved it to High Street in 2003. “When I started all properties were barren land and I had to put up structures for offices and storage myself. I only moved to Stikland in 2005 and from 500m² in Durban Road we are now on 9 000m² in Stikland. I also opened my first factory in 2005 which is now situated opposite our main gate.” – Avril Fillies
Use reputable timber suppliers The Institute for Timber Construction South Africa (ITC-SA), the SA timber engineering industry’s professional body, wishes to reiterate the importance of using reputable timber suppliers or merchants whose timber complies with the relevant characteristic values. “We encourage our members and the industry at large to remain steadfast in selecting and using only compliant structural timber that is certified by either of the only accreditation bodies currently in South Africa: The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) and South African Technical Auditing Services (SATAS), who certify products in compliance with the relevant standards,” says Amanda Obbes, ITCSA General Manager. It is critical that standards are maintained at all times and that all timber produced and destined for the SA structural market, is compliant. As such, it is expected that local as well as interna-
tional manufacturers of structural timber destined for the SA market, will be certified by a South African-based ISO 17065 accredited Product Certification Body, which is also applicable to the neighbouring states (Swaziland and Zimbabwe). “We request that all members to be aware of the need for compliance with national legislation and to not make use of either locally produced timber or imports that do not comply with SA standards and requirements,” Obbes concludes. The institute was established 45 years ago to self-regulate the engineered timber roof structure industry and to provide design, manufacturing, erection, inspection and certification for compliance with inter alia SANS 10400 and SANS 10082, where engineering rational designs are applicable.

Local lad flipping boards in LA A
fter shattering yet another Guinness World Record recently, Athlone-born Jean-Marc Johannes was in Los Angeles competing in the second round of the prestigious, global Street League Skateboarding (SLS) series. The competition, which ended on Sunday 28 July, was stop two of the 2019 World Tour, with the first having taken place in London earlier this year and will be Johannes’ first time competing in LA. Founded in 2010 by renowned pro skateboarder and host of MTV’s Ridiculousness, Rob Dyrdek, the Street League Skateboarding is the premier international competitive series in professional
Jean-Marc Johannes
skateboarding and showcases an international roster of skating’s elite pros. Before leaving for the States, Johannes said the chance to skate with the world’s elite is a big opportunity for him. “In skateboarding, it’s considered an honour to receive an invitation to the SLS. I’ve grown up watching events like these and to be selected to be part of this season’s is a dream come true. It’s the highest level of street skateboarding in the world and it will be assisting me greatly in accumulating points for the Olympic Games ahead,” he said. At each indoor SLS event, arenas are transformed into custom concrete skate plazas,
challenging the pros to be innovative and take the progression of skateboarding to new highs as a selection of worldclass skateboarders compete for the largest purse in skateboarding. The event carries all the more weight with pro-skaters vying for the chance to prove themselves ahead of Tokyo 2020, where skateboarding will make its Olympic debut as one of the most exciting new developments in the Summer Games. Johannes also achieved his second Guinness World Record when he broke Dyrdek’s 15 year-long record for the most fakie flips in one minute recently, one of skate boarding’s most difficult manoeuvres.

Softball shakes things up NOORE NACERODIEN
T
he Cape Town Softball Association, formerly known as the Western Province Softball Federation, held its 27th annual general meeting on Sunday 28 July at the Turfhall Softball Stadium. The newly-elected executive committee is the youngest committee ever to be elected to administer the sport in Cape Town since unification in 1992, with all the elected officials still playing, which augurs well for the sport in Cape Town. Newly-elected chairperson Hayley Carolus, who plays for Battswood Softball Club, thanked the clubs for having the confidence in the new group. “We will work together for a better association and in the interest of the game of softball. Our starting foundation blocks should be softball first. I am here to serve softball and our clubs,” said Carolus. She will feel comfortable having Devonshire Rovers’ Bradley Johnson by her side as her deputy chairperson. Tantasport’s Nawaal Nacerodien will see to the secretarial duties with Samantha Jones from Falcons taking
care of the association’s coffers as the treasurer. Excell Dodgers’ Dwain Kerchhoff will look after the youth with Nicole Alexander from Westridge Yankees taking the reins of development director and Pirates’ Denver Anthony looking after the technical portfolio. Filling up the compliment of the committee is Westridge Yankees stalwart Candice Bull will head up the transformation portfolio. Social media has been flooded with congratulatory messages with the hope that the sport will flourish once more. “May you serve with pride and integrity as you lead softball into a new chapter of hope,” said Dianne Morgan. Cape Town has been the stronghold of softball in the country for many years at all levels of the sport. It is hoped that this new young group can reignite that flame. Former coach and umpire, Preston Ringquest, said: “May the youth prosper and take softball in Cape Town back to where it deserves to be.” The local softball season is expected to kick off in October.
