LOCAL NPO: FOCUS ON READING AND WRITING
Lessons in literacy SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @samantha_lee121

he fundamentals of any school-going child remains the ability to read and write. Empowering not only children, but their parents and neighbours as well is the main aim of Athlone-based non-profit organisation (NPO) Reading and Writing Solutions. Founded by retired teacher and principal, Jeff Paulse six years ago, the organisation works at more than 100 schools across the province supporting all grades.
“Initially we started with Grade 6 learners in respect to a request from our principals of participating schools. Currently our reading tutors are able and trained to assist both primary and high school learners.We do comprehensive training in the Caps curriculum at our training workshops,” says Paulse. He started the organisation after retiring. Many parents had requested his assistance with tutoring and this is when he realised the need. “Many parents came to me for assistance with individual children. I realised I can’t continue to help one person at a time so I
changed the way I did it by training the parents to assist the child,” he says. “Education is a team effort where you need the positive input of three important role players: the teacher, the parent and the learner. Parents are the child’s first teacher. As a former principal and educator with more than 48 years of teaching experience, I have learnt that the role of any parent in the education of any child is key, and more than important,” says Paulse. “If we equip the parent, the child benefits at school and at home. The current homeschooling scenario, caused by the inevitable
lockdown, highlighted the need to equip parents. I realised this many years ago, hence I started this organisation to focus on training parents to teach effectively at home.” With his background as an English teacher, Paulse continued to equip himself with the necessary training and passed this on to volunteer tutors who go out and assist the learners in need. “All learning involves reading,” says Paulse. “Reading is the fundamental skill needed to unlock all other school subjects.

Vandalism costs City millions T
he City’s parks and recreation department says it has suffered great losses during the past year due to the vandalising of community facilities. Theft and arson also deprived communities of much-needed services. Mayco member for community services and health Zahid Badroodien says almost R17 million was lost due to vandalism and theft at facilities, among other things. “The department manages and maintains community centres, sports fields, district parks, outdoor gyms and play parks, resorts, indoor centres and beaches, swimming and tidal pools and cemeteries. People have vandalised the infrastructure, which impacts on service delivery and access to facilities.” He says a recent report to the community service and health portfolio committee highlighted losses for the period 1 July 2019 – 31 August 2020. “Theft and vandalism not only cause damage to infrastructure, but also deprive communities of municipal services for months at a time, and endanger the lives of staff and residents. In compliance with regulations of the General Insurance Policy, the Recreation and Parks Department reported 271 incidents with a total of 225 cases finalised.” Badroodien says vandalism, theft and arson at City facilities are selfish, short-sighted criminal activities that have a long term effect of depriving communities of much needed services and access to facili- Vandalism at the City’s recreational facilities cost ties. million. “It is especially the vulnerable groups in communities, our children and senior citi- dalised through protest action and illegal zens, that are affected the most. land invasions with estimated losses and “When criminals trespass on City proper- damages to equipment and infrastructure ty and break down play equipment at a com- per facility: munity park, they are stealing opportuni.

To improve your quality of life and reduce the risk of ill health, it is important to know your health status, says Guy Brown, manager of Run/Walk for Life Durbanville. Run/Walk for Life Durbanville is presenting InBody tests from 12 to 14 November in collaboration with Aurora Pharmacy at the Ipic Aurora shopping centre. The InBody test is free for members and only R100 for non-members. New members are also welcome to sign up.
“Our bodies are composed of water, bone, lean muscle and body fat. Too much of one or too little of another can cause health risks,” Brown says. “InBody’s body composition analysis uses bioelectrical analysis to give a snapshot of your body composition, the protein content for building lean muscles, mineral content for strong bones, water levels to expose excessive water retention or inadequate retention, as well as body fat distribution,” he says.
An overall body health score is registered according to each person’s age, weight, height and gender. Walks are presented on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Walkers are leaving at 06:30, 07:00 and 07:45 – currently due to Covid-19 from the parking area at Palm Grove Shopping Centre in Main Road, Durbanville. V For more information and to book your InBody test with Guy Brown, contact him on 084 627 1097 or at calendly.com/rwfl-dville.

Barriers to reading and learners experiencing major reading challenges eventually give up, stay absent from school and eventually becomes a statistic as a school drop-out leading to other social evils and crime.” To date, they have already trained 1 300 parents, neighbours and community volunteers with their most recent intake taking place at Bonteheuwel High School last month. “The ideal candidate is a fairly literate person with a passion for literacy and helping others. We have no age restriction or level of academic qualifications. Mothers, grandmothers and youth are all welcome (to join the training),” says Paulse. The training started on Monday 26 October and concluded on Friday 30 October at the Bonteheuwel Secondary School. Some of the more successful tutors also serve on the ethics committee of the University of the Western Cape. Paulse says he is excited about this partnership as it will be parents and neighbours from the area who will be trained to assist local children. “(We want) to change lives, empower and develop people through reading. I also wanted to create further opportunities for our

volunteer reading tutors to be capacitated and developed to reach their full potential as active and valuable citizens impacting the lives of others,” says Paulse. And his efforts have not gone unnoticed. Last year, Paulse was honoured with a Subcouncil 17 Civic Award for the role the organisation has played in the education sector. The organisation collected and sold preloved books at a book sale on Saturday 10 and 17 October in Gleemoor to raise funds to enable them to continue programmes. Fundraising is important as the organisation is not government funded. “We want to promote and encourage a love for reading and to raise much-needed funds for our NPO,” says Paulse. “We are not funded by any corporate body, trust or any government institution.We rely solely on fundraising and donations.” Due to lockdown restrictions, the organisation has not been able to raise any funds. A wide variety of books for children and adults will be available at real giveaway prices. Donations of books in good condition is also welcome.

No after hours burial tariffs charged The City of Cape Town’s recreation and parks department says rumours that it charges an after-hour burial tariff for Muslims are not true. “The department wishes to confirm that while such a tariff was initially proposed during the drafting of the 2020/’21 budget to encourage burials within working hours, as opposed to later in the evening and after sunset, the tariff was not implemented following feedback from the community,” Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien says. “The Muslim community is accommodated in specific allotments in a number of the City’s cemeteries which include, among others, Wallacedene, Delft, Welmoed, Maitland, Modderdam and Khayelitsha.” Current tariffs are charged at R920 per grave, irrespective of day or time.

Garden ‘to keep matrics safe’ All learners up to Grade 12 can enter Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden for free on Mondays to Fridays until Tuesday 15 December. This comes in the wake of a letter sent out by a group of doctors advising schools in the Peninsula on how best to prevent and manage Covid-19 in the school setting. The letter, sent out on Tuesday 13 October, recommends limiting socialising outside the school and meeting a few friends in an open space such as Kirstenbosch, or other open spaces in the city. In response, and in a bid to keep matric learners safe for their exams, Kirstenbosch decided to wave the entry fee for
learners on weekdays. Upon arrival at the Kirstenbosch ticket office, learners can ask for free entry and a free entry ticket will be issued. Kirstenbosch is open every day, from 08:00 to 19:00 in summer. Garden entrance fees for adults are R75; SA senior citizens (with ID): free on Tuesdays except on public holidays; RSA students (with student card): R40; learners (Grade R – up until matric): free on Mondays to Fridays. V Garden entry tickets can be purchased at the ticket office or you can book and pay tickets online at Webtickets. For more information, contact Kirstenbosch on 021 799 8783.

Durbanville-laerskoolseun speel in Suidooster-sepie ESMÉ ERASMUS
’n
Laerskoolseun van Durbanville het vandeesweek sy verskyning gemaak in ’n gasrol in die sepie Suidooster op kykNET. Daniël Snyman (11) is ’n graad 5-leerder aan die Laerskool Durbanville, en die seun van Christo Snyman van die sanggroep Die Broers. Daniël se eerste verskyning in Suidooster was gister (3 November) en hy sal ongeveer drie weke lank in Suidooster te sien wees. Hy speel die rol van die 7-jarige Pieter, die seun van Lukas (Louw Venter) en Robin (Vicky Davis), ’n egpaar wat van mekaar vervreemd is. In die sepie begin Lukas by Bianca (Simone Biscombe) betrokke raak, wie se dogtertjie Stella in dieselfde skool as Pieter is. Volgens sy ma, Danel, ’n arbeidsterapeut in Durbanville, het Daniël vroeg vanjaar oorklankingswerk gedoen vir ’n rol in die Turkse reeks Vierspel Vuurspel, wat sedert Maart op e.tv. uitgesaai word. Hy is daarna tydens inperking deur die Optin Talent-agentskap genooi om ’n video in te stuur vir ’n oudisie vir die rol van Pieter in Suidooster en het toe die rol losgeslaan. Daniël neem drama by die skool en word gereeld as kategoriewenner in drama by die internasionale Tygerberg-eisteddfod aangewys.
Daniël het ook die rol gespeel van Danny in die TV-reeks Projek Dina, wat in April op kykNET uitgesaai is, asook twee jaar gelede die rol van ’n ekstra in ’n oorsese rolprent. Maar dis eintlik sy ouer broers, Eloff, ’n graad 9-leerder aan die Hoërskool Durbanville, en Christoff, ’n graad 7-leerder aan die Laerskool Durbanville, wat die dramagogga hom laat byt het, meen Danel. Sy ouer broers doen gereeld werk vir die Optim Talent-agentskap. Eloff is bekend vir sy rol in die Afrikaanse rolprent Liewe Kersfeesvader en sy rol as Klein Benjamin in Fiela se Kind. Daniël is gek oor sport, veral rugby en krieket, en lees graag. Hy is ook lief vir diere en het “omtrent ’n ark by die huis”, sê sy ma. Daar is hasies, duiwe, vinkies . . . en hy het nou net ’n babahondjie gekry. “Hy het die skiet van die tonele verskriklik geniet – hy het sommer die ander akteurs se woorde ook geken,” sê Danel. “Ons moes party dae maar op ons tande byt om als ingepas te kry. Hy moes ook sy skoolwerk inhaal, maar ons het gevoel die lewenslesse wat hy daar leer is meer werd as ’n dag op die skoolbanke. Sy wêreld het baie groter geraak,” sê sy. “Die span het hom baie mooi ontvang en op die hande gedra. Dit was baie positief. Daniël wil natuurlik nou eendag niks anders as akteur raak nie,” sê sy.

Symphonic masterpieces in miniature After seven months in lock-down, the musicians of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO) have broken out and gone live. Four chamber music concerts, supported by the City of Cape Town, were recorded in October at Erin Hall, Rondebosch, in front of a small and appreciative audience. The works performed showcased the musicians in a chamber music environment. The results, ‘‘Symphonic masterpieces in miniature’’, will be streamed throughout November. CPO head Louis Heyneman says, “this was the only way we could ensure our supporters could hear good music which our musicians loved performing.” Works included some of the most loved pieces of the symphonic repertoire which were arranged for chamber groups such as Beethoven Concerto, Mozart Clarinet Concerto and Elgar’s Cello Concerto all with a string quintet. Online subscriptions for the four concerts are R320, and single tickets R100 each. Tickets are available from Quicket. Each concert will be streamed from 20:00 daily from Thursday to the following Monday, starting from 5 November. Symphonic masterpieces in miniature programme: . 5 to 9 November: Mozart and more; . 12-16 November: Beethoven x2; . 19 to 23 November: Elgar’s Cello; . 26 to 30 November: Brilliant Brahms.

CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19 NUUS OOR DIENSLEWERING Die sigbare opskerping van dienslewering is van die hoogste belang
’n Omvattende evaluering van die Stad se dienslewering in die MVSA-buurte is afgehandel. Dit het gehelp om te identifiseer hoe om basiese dienslewering te verbeter in hierdie gebiede, en die diensvlak te verhoog waar nodig. Ek vertrou dat ons sal wys hoe hierdie gemeenskappe kan lyk as ons saamwerk as Een Stad Tesame.
Deur burgemeester Dan Plato
‘n Totaal van 80 projekte om gemeenskapsfasiliteite en -infrastruktuur op te knap, wat meer as 200 bedryfsprojekte behels, is vir befondsing en uitvoering geïdentifiseer.
In November begin ons die burgemeestersprogram vir sigbare diensleweringsopskerping (MVSA) om die Stad se bestaande COVID-19ekonomiese herstelstrategie en die herlewingsplan vir die Kaapstad- sentrale gebied aan te vul.
In die komende weke, gaan ons: • buurtbestuurders in die 23 gebiede aanstel wat saam met gebiedskoördineringspanne en subrade sal werk aan sigbare diensopskerping • bykomende wetstoepassingsbeamptes in sleutelbuurte ontplooi • blitsskoonmaakingrypings doen om vulliskwessies en onwettige storting in probleemgebiede aan te pak.
Die MVSA-program ter waarde van R200 miljoen is gemik op die opskerping van pogings om die lewensgehalte, veiligheid en die omgewing van gemeenskappe in die 23 geïdentifiseerde areas dwarsoor die metro te verbeter. Hierdie gebiede is oor die algemeen laerinkomstebuurte waar groter koördinering van dienslewering nodig is om ernstige maatskaplike uitdagings die hoof te bied. Die Stad lewer sy dienste op voetsoolvlak en dit is vir ons duidelik dat die stand van die ekonomie benard is – die impak daarvan in ons gemeenskappe is duidelik sigbaar. Dit is vererger deur Covid-19 en die verwante inperkingsregulasies wat die Stad se diensleweringsbedrywighede beperk het. Hoewel die Grondwet sleuteldiensleweringshefbome aan die nasionale regering opdra – insluitende polisiëring, howe, skuilings vir haweloses en treindienste – is ons daartoe verbind om alles wat ons kan binne ons basiese diensleweringsmandaat te doen, terwyl ons saam met ander regeringsvlakke werk.
Deur die koördinering van dienslewering op gemeenskapsvlak beoog ons om plaaslike oplossings vir plaaslike kwessies te verseker. Gebiedsambassadeurs word ook in elke buurt aangestel om hierdie poging te ondersteun. As burgemeester gaan ek die vordering baie goed dophou en ek het amptenare gevra om gereeld aan die burgemeesterskomitee verslag te doen. Oor die volgende paar maande gaan die eerste fase van die projek in 13 buurte begin. Hierdie gebiede sluit die volgende in: Bellville-sakekern, Atlantissakekern, Lotus Park, Bishop Lavis-sakekern, Bonteheuwel, Hanover Park, Manenberg, Ocean View, Uitsig, Wynberg, Nyanga- stedelike node, Monwabisi Park, en Harare. Daarna sal hierdie inisiatief volgende jaar in die volgende gebiede voortgesit word: Mitchells Plain, Durbanville-openbarevervoerwisselaar, Kraaifonteinsakekern, Delft, Kuilsrivier-sakekern, Nolungile, Nonqubela, Bo-Kaap, Goodwood- en Parow-sakekern.

Stormers wear support on sleeves The Stormers are showing their support for breast cancer and testicular cancer awareness by wearing a special logo on the sleeve of their match kit until the end of this month. The logo is a combination of the traditional pink ribbon used for breast cancer awareness and blue “Movember” moustache which signifies testicular cancer awareness. Globally, two million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year. The diagnosis has an indescribable emotional impact on every patient, but also on friends, family and colleagues. To support the various initiatives, DHL, who are the Stormers’ title sponsors, are seeking to extend the awareness to the greater public and have decaled their aircraft fleet in Africa (and across the globe) with the ribbon creative to show their support and com-
mitment to the causes. Both causes have been integrated into the Stormers match day playing kit for the duration of the season in October and November, displaying a combination of the traditional pink ribbon and blue “Movember” moustache. Stormers captain Siya Kolisi said the team is proud to be raising awareness for such worthy causes. “Breast cancer and testicular cancer are major health issues and we as a team want to do everything we can to show our support for this campaign, along with our sponsors DHL,” he said. Stormers coach John Dobson said that the values behind this awareness campaign reflect what the Stormers players and management would like to be about as a team.

Simpson cracks nod to tee it up at Sun City S
am Simpson, along with four of South Africa’s most promising amateur talents, will join a star-studded field in the South African Open Championship at the Gary Player Country Club from Thursday 3 December - Sunday 6 December. The South African Golf Association (Saga) announced the amateur quintet exempt for qualifying in the R19.5 million tournament, supported by Nedbank and Sun International and co-sanctioned by the Sunshine and European Tours. “As the custodians of the SA Open, we are extremely proud and honoured to offer our top talents this marvellous opportunity to test themselves in a championship of this stature,” said Saga acting president, Martin Saaiman. “We are delighted to announce that our reigning SA Amateur champion and No. 1 Casey Jarvis will spearhead the group. He will be joined by fellow GolfRSA National Squad members Kyle de Beer, Yurav Premlall, (Sam) Simpson and Christo Lamprecht,” announced Saaiman, confirming Simpson’s spot in the second oldest golf tournament in the world behind The Open. The 110th playing of the South African Open Championship was announced on Thursday 22 October and the Saga selection committee made their final selection the following day. “Since all our national tournaments were cancelled at the end of March due to the nationwide Covid-19 lockdown, we had no choice but to base our selection on the rankings as it stood at the end of March when our tournaments were shut down. Martin Vorster, who is second in the rankings, had advised us that he would be unavailable for selection because he is still recovering from a wrist injury, so the next four spots went to Kyle,
Yurav, Sam and Christo, respectively ranked third, fourth, fifth and sixth. “We wish these five amateurs well as they test themselves against a strong international field at the iconic Gary Player Country Club.” Durbanville’s Simpson made his debut in the tournament at Randpark Golf Club in January. GolfRSA CEO Grant Hepburn said the amateurs are privileged to be offered an incredible opportunity to advance their careers. “We are very proud of the fact that all five amateurs selected by Saga are members of the GolfRSA National Squad,” he said. “They have all worked extremely hard and achieved excellent results and they are very deserving of the opportunity to tee it up in the SA Open. “Competing in an event of this stature builds character and the chance to compete against the best professionals from South Africa and Europe is invaluable to the growth and development of their careers. We know they will savour the opportunity. The quality of these young men and many like them on our GolfRSA circuit is a direct result of the excellent structures in South African golf. Our players compete in well-organised tournaments from a very young age and credit needs to be given to the golf unions, the clubs, the academies and foundations, and the dedicated coaches that all play a role in developing our depth of talent.” The South African Open Championship will complete a thrilling three-week run of tournaments co-sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour and European Tour, following the Joburg Open at Randpark Golf Club and the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek.
The Stormers will be showing their support for breast cancer and testicular cancer awareness by wearing a special logo on the sleeve of their match kit during November. The logo is a combination of the traditional pink ribbon used for breast cancer awareness and blue “Movember” moustache which signifies testicular cancer awareness.

SPELERS BYEEN: BYGEDRA TOT INTEGRASIE IN RUGBY
Rugbybekendes vereer AVRIL FILLIES
N
agenoeg 1 000 jaar se rugby-ervaring was Saterdag 31 Oktober bymekaar toe ’n reünie van die Suid-Afrikaanse Rugbyvoetbalfederasie, voormalige Proteas, oud-Maties, Gouebeker- en WP-Ligaspelers vereer het vir hul bydrae om integrasie en gemengde skolerugby moontlik te maak. Die gassprekers was Dougie Dyers, kaptein en voormalige junior vise-president van die WP-Rugbyunie, Abe Williams, die hulpbestuurder op die Springboktoer na NieuSeeland in 1981 en voormalige minister van sport in die destydse driekamerparlement, en Norman Langley, wat al die Federasieweke deur die jare georganiseer het. Dyers het gepraat namens al die kapteins wat ook teenwoordig was, terwyl Williams uitgebrei het oor die lesse wat daardie Bokspan in Nieu-Seeland geleer het, en Langley oor junior rugby van destyds. Hulde is ook gebring aan afgestorwe stigterslede soos Cuthbert Loriston, John Cupido, Bill Jacobs en Dok Danie Craven. “Integrasie in rugby is nie ’n nuwe ding wat nou eers ontstaan het nie; die toerspan van 1979 na die Verenigde Koninkryk het die grondslag gelê dat rugbyspelers van alle kleure vandag saamspeel en dat Suid-Afrika later weer toegelaat is tot internasionale rugby. Hiervoor moet Dok geprys word, want hoewel hy voorheen gesê het dat geen swart of bruin speler daai Bok-trui oor hul kop sou trek nie, het hy van opinie verander toe daar van oral in die wêreld teenkanting gekry is oor die spierwit Bokspanne wat teen ander lande speel. Op die vooraand van ons vertrek op daai Barbarian-toer het hy net gesê die span moet onthou alle oë is nou op hulle gerig om te kyk of die wit, bruin en swart spelers in die span kan saamspeel en iets op die veld beteken. Ons het agt wedstryde gespeel, vier gewen, twee verloor en een gelykop gespeel en dit was dieselfde spanne teen wie die Bokke op hul toer afgeransel is,” het Dyers gesê. Hy het ook genoem dat dit moeilik is om sekere wedstryde uit te lig as hoogtepunte, maar die Barbarian-toer en die eerste Federasie-Cravenweekspan, wat in 1981 met vyf spelers van Bishops van wyle Paul Dobson en Basil Bey beskikbaar gestel is, het die weg gebaan dat vandag se rugbyspelers die voordele geniet. Spanne van die noorde het hulle aan daardie jaar se Cravenweek op Worcester onttrek, want hulle wou nie teen die bruines speel nie. “Vandag se spelers weet nie watter opofferings spelers destyds in die hartjie van apartheid moes gemaak het nie, want hulle ken nie die rugbygeskiedenis nie. Spelers het hul werk verloor, is in hul gemeenskappe verwerp en hul kinders kon nie aan skolesport deelneem nie omdat hul pa vir die Federasie gespeel het. Die spelers het vasgebyt om hul sport te beoefen en ek kan vandag
Dougie Dyers met van die Federasie- en WP-Liga-spelers, wat hy deur die jare afgerig het. Nagenoeg 1 000 jaar se rugbygeskiedenis was Saterdag 31 Oktober teenwoordig in Kuilsrivier toe die rugbybekendes vir hul bydrae tot Suid-Afrikaanse rugby vereer is. FOTO: AVRIL FILLIES trots sê, ons het Springbokke opgelewer. “Die spelers van die Maties wat hulle beskikbaar gestel het om in die Proteas of die WP-Liga te speel, moet ook vir hul bydrae geprys word, en ek is bly om te sien dat De Villiers Visser, Hempies du Toit, Bryn Morse, Johnny Joubert en Grant ook vandag se verrigtinge bygewoon het. Spelers soos Hennie Bekker, Takkies Reitz, Gawie Visagie, Martiens le Roux en Schalk Burger het hul gewig by ons ingegooi en van hulle het Bokke geword. Swart spelers soos Morgan Cushe, Solomon Mhlaba en Timothy Konki was op die Barbarian-toer en hoewel Norman Mbiko die eerste swart Springbokkaptein is, is my beskeie mening dat Mhlaba daai mantel ook met grasie kon gedra het,” sê Dyers. Williams het gesê dat hulle baie op die 1981-Springboktoer in daai drie maande geleer het, en ook dat die SA Rugbyraad hulle nie destyds voorberei het vir wat op hulle wag nie.
“Ons almal dink niemand weet wat in Suid-Afrika aangaan nie, maar daar het ek geleer dat jy eerlik moet wees en ook die positiewe goed wat in die land gebeur moet uitlig, want daai positiewe goed kan in sommige gevalle die negatiewe dinge oorskadu. “Dis algemeen bekend dat Naas Botha gesê het bruines en swartes speel nie rugby nie en toe wou almal weet nou waar val Errol Tobias uit, maar dis nou water onderdeur die brug. Wat ek wil beklemtoon, is dat ons nou moet wegbeweeg van aparte rugbyunies, want ons almal het ’n bydrae tot SuidAfrikaanse rugby en sy geskiedenis gemaak, al word ons bydraes afgemaak as onbelangrik. Ons het nie net spelers van gehalte gelewer nie, maar ook administrateurs. “Ek wil nou ’n beroep doen op alle rugbyspelers om terug te gaan in hul gemeenskappe en hul stories aan vandag se jeug te vertel, want anders gaan die geskiedenis verlore,” sê Williams.
Langley het uitgebrei oor hoekom die Junior Federasieweke by SAKK in Eersterivier, Philippi en in Saldanha gehou is om jong spelers die kans te gee om basiese rugbyvaardighede aan te leer, hul kinderhelde te ontmoet en toe te pas wat hulle in daai week geleer het. “Wanneer toerspanne hier was, het ons altyd gereël dat van die internasionale spelers ons kinders toespreek en ’n afrigtingskliniek hou. Ek kan onthou hoe die 1970-groep hulle verkyk het aan Brian Williams toe hy saam met die All Blacks hier getoer het. “Ons kan beslis ook nie die bydraes van die Federasieweke ignoreer nie, want van die bruin Bokke het ook van die weke bygewoon,” sê hy. Agterna is daar lekker gekuier, staaltjies uitgeruil en die enigste ongelukkigheid onder die groep was toe Dyers gesê het dat Charles Williams van Stellenbosch die meeste spoed gehad het, al was hy ’n senter.”
Skolekrieket kan in nuwe skooljaar in Februarie hervat word SAREL BURGER Die skrywe wat die krieketspelende skole in die Westelike Provinsie die afgelope week van Nuweland ontvang het, het groot blydskap tot gevolg gehad. Wanneer die 2021-skooljaar in Januarie afskop, sal die Wes-Kaapse skole, ná vanjaar se viruspandemie, mekaar weer die stryd kan aansê – natuurlik met vele voorsorgmaatreëls en wedstryde wat slegs onder sekere voorwaardes afgehandel sal
word. Hoewel die skole vandeesweek inskrywingsvorms met die oog op die verskillende kompetisies vir volgende jaar ontvang het, het dit ook ’n skrywe ingesluit waarin skole meegedeel is dat hulle mettertyd ingelig sal word volgens watter voorskrifte die wedstryde afgehandel sal word. Aangesien die 2021-skooljaar veel later sal begin as wat in die voorafgaande jare die geval was, sal daar gedurende die eerste kwartaal op net ses Saterdae in Februa-
rie en Maart wedstryde kan plaasvind, aangesien die Menseregte-vakansiedag op 20 Maart die beginpunt van voorseisoense wintersport-aktiwiteite kan wees. Inskrywings vir die Tygerbergstreek se verskillende WP Noordelike Stadsgebiede (WPNS)-kompetisies in 2021 sluit reeds eerskomende Vrydag. Die WPNS bied weer sy ligakompetisies op Saterdae vir alle ouderdomsgroepe aan – dit behels weekdag-uitklopkompetisies vir o.19-, 0.15- en o.14-spanne, asook ’n ses-
aan-’n-kant-toernooi vir o.19’s in die loop van 2021. Die administrateurs van ander hoofstroom-somersportsoorte handhaaf nog ’n stilswye. Vroeër vandeesweek het die skole nog geen inligting oor die tennis- en atletiekbeplannings vir 2021 ontvang nie. V Skole wat moontlik nie die afgelope week ’n inskrywingsvorm ontvang het nie, moet voor die komende naweek e-pos stuur aan sarelburger@telkomsa.net.
