LEONSDALE: CHILDREN ENTERTAINED ON HUMAN RIGHTS DAY
The right to have fun TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07
W
ard 50 councillor Franchesca Walker had the children of Leonsdale entertained on Human Rights Day, Wednesday 21 March, with music, games and food at the Leonsdale Community Hall. With the strong presence of police and Law Enforcement, the children played peacefully and safely. Speakers at the event included community safety MEC Dan Plato, Gavin Maggot from the Department of Justice, motivational speaker Cole Davids, and Christine Botha from the Centre for Constitutional Rights. Walker says she was very happy with the outcome of the event and the effort put into the day. She says she feels the day was important to commemorate in the area because of the high rate of gangsterism and people who may be living in fear on a day-to-day basis. “The aim of this day was to bring back that pride in our rights. People came out to attend and be part of the day. They could relate to what the guest speakers spoke about and took it to heart. Our people need motivation and a constant reminder that they are not alone in areas like these that sometimes may seem forgotten. “We have so much violence and criminal activity in these areas. To see our people celebrate and our children being free to play and their talents showcased was awesome to witness.” Sentene Cloete, a community worker in the area, describes the day as something the community needed to uplift everyone’s spirits. “We had so much fun today (Wednesday 21 March). As a community worker in the area, it was so good to see ‘my’ children having so much fun and just being children. They were free and not up to mischief.” Resident Carlo Oliver was spotted teaching the children how to play table-top game, kerim. He told TygerBurger it was good to see so many children intrigued by the game. “It’s important to keep our children busy with things they can enjoy.” V More photos on page 8.
