) ‘Victory for justice and road safety’

‘Guilty’ CHILTON MELLEM

“Justice at last!” That was the feeling of many of the family, friends and supporters of the children killed at the Buttskop level crossing last year, as Jacob Humphreys, the taxi driver who drove the children to their deaths, was found guilty on Monday. Judge Robert Henney found him guilty on ten charges of murder and four of attempted murder, even after Humphreys tried to maintain his innocence by pleading not guilty. After the verdict was announced, he was taken into custody and bail was denied. Humphreys enraged the community in Blackheath and surrounding areas on 25 August last year when he drove his taxi filled with children on their way to school through the level crossing while the booms were down. Defence lawyer Johann Engelbrecht tried to justify Humphreys’s actions by telling the court he suffered from retrograde amnesia. He claimed that Humphreys could not remember what had happened from when he stopped at the Buttskop level crossing, until the time he woke up in hospital. In his summation Henney found it strange that Humphreys did not collide into the vehicle in front of him if he was standing behind another vehicle. He also pointed out testimony from the surviving passengers and

other witnesses at the crossing who saw him weave around cars to drive through the lowered booms. The children who lost their lives that day were: Liesl August, 11, Cody Erasmus, 15, Jody Phillips, 13, Reece Smith, 7; Nolan February, 13, Michaelin de Koker, 11, Jason Pedro, 14, Nadine Marthinissen, 16, Jeane-Pierre Willeman, 13, and Jade Adams, 10. Four children survived the incident. Cries of euphoria were heard from family members and supporters of the victims at the High Court when the sentence was announced. Not only was this a day of justice being served for the parents of these children but also for provincial transport minister, Robin Carlisle. Carlisle hailed it as a “victory for justice and for road safety for the entire country”. “There are cases that I am personally following very closely where speeding, drunk and negligent killer drivers have run down children in the street, or smashed the vehicles of innocent drivers and passengers from behind at high speed, senselessly condemning the occupants to an agonising death. “We need these brutal, unrepentant killer drivers to be thrown behind bars for lengthy periods, or we will never have safe roads,” Carlisle said. Two long months await Humphreys as he will only be sentenced on 20 February next year.

Young life lost in London Way CHILTON MELLEM

“Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world ... ” This is how children from the Mummy Day Care paid tribute to their classmate at his funeral on Friday. Oyama Mdashe was four months shy of four-years-old when he and his brother, Lisakhamya, six, were hit by a passing bus. The incident occurred when the brothers were crossing the road in London Way, Malibu Village. According to some residents, the boys were crossing the road from the barber shop where their father works. They had received money from the owner of the barber and decided to go to the shop. As they crossed the road, the Golden Arrow bus hit them from behind. Bronwen Dyke, spokesperson for Golden Arrow said the bus company has assisted with funeral arrangements for the Mdashe family. “The driver was suspended immediately after the incident, which is standard internal policy. This is to allow time for investigation and to ensure that the driver is given the opportunity to recover from any psychological trauma. In this case, the driver was found to

Flowers and a cross on the side of the barber shop and London Way where Oyama Mdashe was tragically killed. Photo: Chilton Mellem be suffering from extreme shock. Golden Arrow would like to extend their sincere condolences to the Mdashe family during this very difficult time,” Dyke said. According to a statement by Kleinvlei police, residents were infuriated and they want-

Tolling put on hold for time being

ed to attack the bus driver. Oyama was declared dead on the spot while his brother was sent to the Red Cross Children’s Hospital in Mowbray. Lisakhayama has since been discharged from hospital. Ingrid Dusani, Oyama’s creche teacher pointed out that he was a very competitive person and always wanted to do something better than the next person. “His work was always neat; I wish there were more children like Oyama. He could have been the next doctor or lawyer or even president,” Dusani said. On Friday, during the service Apostle Mervin Jansen and other congregational members of the New Life Community Church in Malibu Village said Lisakhayama was asking for his brother and did not understand the concept that his brother had passed away. Oyama’s father who can barely speak English as he is from Tanzania said: “It’s very painful, I miss my boy.” Community members have complained that there are many buses that speed down the road and show little regard for pedestrians. Ward councillor Wilma Brady said there is a large influx of buses and taxis passing through London Way. This is because Eersriv Way has been closed off due to the development happening at Nuwe Begin.

DESIREÉ RORKE

Sanral has for now, agreed to halt all work on the N1/N2 Winelands Toll Road project, while the intergovernmental dispute process takes its course. This follows after the City of Cape Town filed an interdict application against Sanral, of which the case has last week been postponed sine die (without a date), based on this agreement. According to the City’s mayoral committee member for transport, roads and stormwater, Councillor Brett Herron, the City has already appointed an advocate of the Johannesburg Bar to facilitate the dispute. An intergovernmental dispute is a dispute resolution process instituted in terms of legislation. “This is an important victory for the City as we believe that the concerns of residents and City stakeholders will now be properly considered. The agreement reached today is the undertaking that the City has sought from Sanral over the past few months and formed the basis of our interdict application,” Herron said last week. “We are satisfied that we have achieved what we sought to get from the interdict application – a commitment from Sanral that they would not continue with their tolling plans while the City engages to resolve the dispute. We are on record as expressing our concern over the socio-economic impact that tolling would have on Cape Town, particularly on disadvantaged communities.” He believes that this agreement has secured an opportunity for the City to engage constructively in the intergovernmental dispute process and is in the best interests of all parties. Meanwhile, the City also prepares to take the ministers of transport and environmental affairs’ decision on the project on review, pending the outcome of the resolution process.

Police urge businesses to join safety forum Bellville South police want to encourage all businesses in the area to join the business forum. This is a platform which allows the police to discuss the problems experienced in terms of crime and sensitises them to where a particular business is located. The forum helps the police to respond to early warnings of suspici-

ous vehicles and persons, and also to determine policing needs for a particular business community. The police feel that as the festive season is approaching, they need to work closer together to ensure a safer festive season. They also want to encourage businesses and the community to familiarise themselves with the necessary emergency numbers:

Bejaardes bederf Die Solomons-selgroep het pas weer vir die vierde jaar agtereenvolgens vir ’n pragtige en suksesvolle Kersfunksie by die Tygerberg-dienssentrum vir bejaardes gesorg. Tydens hierdie oggend is die seniors getrakteer op ’n heerlike Kersete, pragtige waardevolle kospakkies, sowel as geskenke. Vir die bejaardes was dit ’n vreugdevolle dag. “Die dienssentrum is oneindig dankbaar vir toegewyde groepe en donateurs wat hul geld, goedere en tyd in die gemeenskap en veral die

seniors belê,” het Linda Louw, bestuurder van die dienssentrum, gesê. Volgens die Solomon-groep se groepleier, Vernon Solomon, het die selgroep vyf jaar gelede die Purpose Driven Life book saam met die Edge Church in Edgemead gedoen. “In die proses moes hulle ’n gemeenskapsprojek doen en dit was die begin van die reis.” Van die tweede jaar af het hulle die Tygerberg-dienssentrum as projek “aangeneem”. Vernon sê elke jaar kon hulle die geselligheid beter maak soos hulle netwerk van donateurs groter geword het.

Agter is Ester Faure en Lucille Truter (Parow). Voor is Diane Joseph (Ravens mead) en Martha van der Langenberg (Parow).

Die Tygerberg Kinderhospitaal het Vrydag 9 Desember vir 400 pasiëntjies sy jaarlikse Kerspartytjie met ’n groot fanfare gehou. Verskeie donateurs het bygedra om die partytjie onvergeetlik te maak. Die pret het eindelose vermaak soos ’n kulkunstenaar en optrede deur die geliefde karakters van Takalani Sesame ingesluit. Kinders se gesigte is geverf en daar was ’n oordaad eet- en drinkgoed. Uiteraard het die lekker presente nie agtergebly nie. Die kinderpasiëntjies kom van verskeie gebiede in die omgewing en is en was binneof buitepasiënte.

The learners of Riebeeck Street Primary School in Belhar received an early Christmas present with the arrival of teams Sole Sisters and Whatsupzanzi from the Bobs for Good Foundation last week. Loaded with shoes for the needy learners, they, together with volunteers, proceeded to fit the children, identified by their educators, with shoes while Christmas carols played in the background. The school was identified by Proportional councillor for the area, Gerald Siljeur, left with beret, when he saw the need of learners at the school. Team Sole Sisters were a family who raised fund with their trip to reach the top of Kilimanjaro, and Whatsupzanzi was an adventure that paddled around Ascension Island to raise funds for this cause started by Bobby Skinstad, former captain and winning member of the 2007 Rugby World Cup Springboks.

Early gifts from Sanral GARY VAN DYK

The festive season got on the road for the Dusk to Dawn Haven with some early gifts. Representatives from the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) paid them a visit last week with donations of food, and cleaning materials as well as a cheque for R38 000. This is part of Sanral’s long running initiative whereby the roads agency invites contractors in the construction industry

and its employees to make cash and food parcel donations that are distributed to charity organisations in the Western Cape region. This facility, a shelter for abused women and children in Ravensmead was one of two charities chosen for this year, and they were very happy to receive it. “This donation will go a long way in helping us with the work that we do,” said Monica Hoorn, of the haven. “It will also show the people who use this facility that there are people in the community that care about them.”

Senior safety: Bellville South police recently visited the Peace Havens Seniors Club at Crown Cork Community and Recreation Hall, where the seniors were treated to a talk on elderly abuse, domestic violence and personal safety. W/O Ivan Williams is seen here addressing the seniors at the gathering.

Life comes in ‘cans’ not cannots

OUTDOOR POWER

Youth in our communities “can” help themselves, thanks to the initiative of a local canning company.

HS 45 Petrol Hedge Trimmer

The Peninsula Beverage Company (PenBev) is taking the threats that modern youth face very seriously by sponsoring the Life Talk Forums going to schools in the area. They have come on board beacause they have realised that our youth are faced with serious challenges on a daily basis. Things that are seemingly harmless such as browsing the internet, to more serious challenges such as joining gangs and drug abuse have grave consequences for our youth, who are not necessarily equipped emotionally to stand up for themselves and realise their dreams. Sue Linstrom who runs an initiative in Cape Town called Life Talk explained that in keeping with the main focus of the sponsors, life should be about what they “can” do. “Life comes in Cans, not in Cannots is an age appropriate talk for learners about being able to stand up for themselves and reach their positive potential in light of the various challenges they face during their teens. “The learners are encouraged to question their involvement in the various challenges, such as alcohol and drug abuse, gangsterism, cyber bullying as well as sexual promiscuity to name a few, and they are asked whether getting involved in a certain challenge will bring them closer or further away from their potential. “It is vital to empower our youth to be able to say ‘no’ to drugs and alcohol, or many of the other challenges they face daily, by highlighting that they ‘can’ make a choice, they just have to decide how important it is to them. “This talk is about making them think firstly about their goal person Grade 7 learners from Belhar Primary School enjoying and secondly giving them the power the interactive Life Talk session with Sue Linstrom, at to stand up and say, I CAN reach it!” the CocaCola Zone/PenBev auditorium. The life skills “PenBev sponsors these sessions talk addressed some of the most pressing issues which and transport for learners who are children in our society are often exposed to.

Harleyklub helder Kerstyd vir Delftkinders op JANA BEKKER

Die Harley Davidsonklub van Tygervallei het Sondag 11 Desember minderbevoorregte kinders van Delft se Kersseisoen opgehelder met 200 geskenkpakkies. Dié uitreikaksie was die geesteskind van Acting Angels, ’n nie-winsgewende organisasie wat verskeie kleiner groepe met skenkings op die been help bring, of bystaan. Een van die organisasies is ’n sopkombuis in Delft, ’n inisiatief van ’n NG gemeente in Bellville. Clarina Hanekom van die Acting Angels sê hulle is betrokke by die sopkombuis, ’n laerskool, Metro Evange-

liese Sorg (MES) en nagskuilings. Sondagoggend het die motorfietsryers en Clarina by MKem-apteek ontmoet, waarvandaan hulle Delft toe vertrek het om die pakkies aan die kinders wat by ’n sopkombuis etes ontvang, te gaan oorhandig. “Die kinders ontvang twee keer ’n week kos by die sopkombuis en dié etes is gewoonlik hul voedsaamste maaltye van die week,” sê Clarina. In die geskenkpakkies was inkleurboeke, inkleurpotlode, uitveërs, kryte, skerpmakers, stampmielies en bone, kitsnoedels, ’n koffiebeker, lekkergoed, skyfies en koeldrank. Elke pakkie was R60 werd en die donasie was R12 000 in totaal.

Get skilled in computers GARY VAN DYK

Computer skills are increasing, with another batch of learners getting certificates at a recent ceremony. On The Ball Computers is a registered and accredited computer training college which has been training students in the community of Bishop Lavis and surrounding areas as far as Eerste River, Parow, and Mitchells Plain, and is still spreading to empower all. Nigel Johannes runs the course in Bishop Lavis with support from the main college in Cape Town that is directed by Kim Palmer.

Johannes is passionate about making a difference in his community, especially with youth and he feels that they must become skilled in order to fight the negative influences around them. “I come from that background of drug abuse, but by the grace of God I have survived and now want to make a positive difference in my community,” he says. “We have a number of courses available at all levels so we are therefore able to offer these qualifications to learners who want to further their education in an information technology-related field. “Students, especially matriculants from this year, who wish to stu-

LEWENSKIEKIE

Average Joe can impact climate While the outcome of the COP 17 negotiations has been met with mixed reactions, the world is increasingly aware of the devastating effect climate change could have on our planet. The conference resolution encompasses a series of agreements that leaders of 197 nations have reached to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and manage the impact that climate change will inevitably have. The level of greenhouse gas emissions present in the atmosphere is higher than at any other time during the last 150 000 years. As this increases, so does the world’s temperature, which in turn has catastrophic effects on food security. Despite the technical jargon around the subject, the far reaching impact the average person can have is not to be scoffed at. What can the average person do to prevent climate change? Use less fuel by choosing a fuel-efficient car or use transport requiring less fossil fuel such as trains, subways, buses, car pools, walking and biking. Buy efficient appliances that use less electricity, reduce everyday electrical consumption. Arguably more importantly, we should all start talking about global warming, write letters to local, regional and national media to spread the message and thereby start a movement.

Kersvreugde:

Kersfeesliedjies, glimlaggies, oulike uitrustings en hier en daar selfs ’n paar trane, is wat Klouter Wouterkleuter skool in Vredekloof se jaarlikse Kerskonsert verlede Woensdag (7 Desember) vir ouers ingehou het. Die aand het ook ’n gradeplegtig heid vir gr. Rmaters, optredes deur die kleuterskool se ballerinas, en ’n sertifikaatoorhandinging vir die rugbymaats ingesluit. Foto: Cecilia Hume

Give to those who need help

Strome water kan die liefde nie blus nie, riviere kan dit nie afkoel nie. Hooglied 8:7

Your kids not cared for in Greenlands Dear residents of Greenlands, I write this letter to you to voice my concern as a fellow resident, at the conduct of yourselves and your children. Greenlands is the epitome of the social ills our society faces, and we are not doing enough to combat this. Within the first few months of living in this suburb I noticed how your children are neglected, and uneducated. I’ve seen your young children (two to six years old) walking around outside after dark unsupervised. I’ve seen them looking so forlorn and lost sitting in a park after 22:00 at night. I’ve seen your children play “games” involving throwing stones at each other and chasing each other down and having a mob kick one child until he is writhing in pain, screaming for help. These incidents have taken place in front of my very own eyes and I have done my very best to speak to your kids, to encourage them to play nicely with each other. I have seen your teenagers openly smok-

ing drugs in our parks, in full view of the younger children in our area. What example are we setting for these children? Is this okay with us? How would you feel if something bad were to happen to these children? With the stories of rapes, kidnapping and murders in our newspapers and on TV every day, can we really afford to say: “This won’t happen to us?” Parents, we are approaching the festive season. I urge you to please take responsibility for yourselves and your children. Please love them and care for them. You made the choice to have them; you now have to accept your responsibility to them. To our community workers and councillors, more needs to be done to keep these children occupied during the holiday season. Please do inform the community of any holiday programmes that may be planned. Greenlands needs all the help it can get! ANONYMOUS Email

Afrikaanse miskenning sal beursies toe hou Ek was bevoorreg om die Kerskonsert van die Tygerberg-kinderkoor op Sondag 11 Desember in die Endlersaal, Stellenbosch, by te woon. Oor die afgelope 20 jaar was dit fantasties om by menige opvoerings na die trotse koor te luister. Die gehoor het hoofsaaklik uit Afrikaanssprekendes bestaan, maar is aan die begin in Engels en Duits verwelkom, maar geen Afrikaans nie. Daar is ook aangekondig dat die koor

R200 000 kortkom om in 2012 na Cincinnati te gaan. Afrikaanssprekendes het deur die jare baie bygedra tot die sukses van die koor en om nou verdere finansiële ondersteuning te vra, deur Afrikaans uit te laat by die verwelkoming, sal die beursies toe hou. Ek is seker daar is baie Afrikaanssprekendes wat soos ek voel, en hoop dat Afrikaans nie verder afgeskeep sal word nie. ONDERSTEUNER E-pos

It was recently brought to my attention that a local radio station arranged a donation for a family in need. This family in need do occur regular monthly medical costs. This family in need also has a threebedroomed home with swimming pool in a safe, well established area, two vehicles, running water, electricity, food and toiletries in their cupboards and satellite television. Giving to people in need is our duty, but we need to re-look at what we consider “people in need”. Everybody has “needs” which is based on your standard of living. If your standard of living is above your income are you really in need? What about those that don’t earn any income? What about the children who live on the street with no home, no food, no parents? Or that pensioner that has to rely on the State for a minimal amount of money to live? Surely they are in need of physical and emotional support. It’s sad how people “in need” play on emotions especially at Christmas time to get things. I’ve learnt that those who shout the loudest do receive first and those that suffer in silence are actually the ones that really need. It’s concerning how companies give to get free advertising without even investigating the situation. Think about your situation and give to those that have less than you and it doesn’t have to be in the form of money either. Time spent chatting to a pensioner in a home, time spent baking cookies for that orphanage, time spent playing with a sick child that is bedridden or giving your neighbour who just lost their job a lift to a job interview is just as valuable. Last thought: The gift of giving should apply all year around, not only at Christmas time. MICHELLE Durbanville

Proe wyn uit die vat Dormershire-wynlandgoed bied vanjaar ’n proe-uit-die-vat aan as deel van die jaarlikse Somer in Stellenbosch-valleifees wat van Vrydag (16 Desember) tot Sondag plaasvind. Altesame 13 wynlandgoedere gooi hul deure vir die publiek oor dié drie dae oop met gratis wynproeë, interessante vermaak en afleiding vir die hele gesin. Vir die wynliefhebbers is daar elke dag om 12:00 ’n vertikale wynproe van Dormershire Shiraz vir die oesjare 2002 tot 2009 en dan weer ’n Cabernet Sauvignon-proe om 15:30 vir dieselfde oesjare. Verder word ’n proe-uit-die-vat daagliks om 14:00 aangebied. Wynliefhebbers kan só insig kry oor hoe wyn van jaar tot jaar verbeter met houtveroudering en ook hoe die smaak van dieselfde kultivar uit verskillende wingerdblokke verskil. Dormershire bied ook vermaak en afleiding in die vorm van ’n verskeidenheid stalletjies. Vir die snuffelaars is daar snuisterye, juwele, kuns, bad- en lyfrome. Lees meer by www.dormershire.com.

Nóg groot dinge kom, sê sanger LOUISAJANE STEYL

Hy is onlangs deur Bok Radio genomineer as een van die gewildste kunstenaars in die WesKaap, maar Jacques G sê daar kom nóg groot dinge in 2012. TygerBurger-lesers mag dalk al sy treffer, “Spookstories”, op die radio gehoor het. Die liedjie was vir ses maande op Radio Houtstok se top30. Sewe van Jacques se liedjies word tans ook op Bok Radio gespeel. Nog een van Jacques se gewilde liedjies is “Vasco Boulevard”. “Dit is waar ek grootgeword het,” sê hy. Hy verduidelik dat hy dié liedjie oor sy verlede geskryf het. “Mense kan aanklank vind by die

liedjie,” sê hy. As ’n pa van drie, het Jacques effens laat in die musiekbedryf beland, maar met die hulp van radiostasies en sy aanhangers, is hy gou besig om in die plaaslike musiekbedryf naam te maak. Jacques het vier jaar terug deeltyds in kroeë begin optree, voor hy omtrent ’n jaar gelede ’n voltydse loopbaan aangepak het. Voor dit het Jacques vir ’n vervoermaatskapy gewerk en later sy eie onderneming in die boubedryf begin. “Ek het altyd van musiek gehou,” sê hy. By vleisbraaie en sulke sosiale samekomste was hy altyd die ou met die kitaar langs die vuur. Toe hy ongelukkig sy onderneming verloor het, het hy besluit om vir sy brood en botter te begin sing.

“Ek was half geforseer om my passie uit te leef,” sê hy. Jacques het al van sy liedjies op die album, Spookstories, opgeneem wat by sy vertonings of by Rooies se Winkel beskikbaar is. Hy skryf al sy liedjies self en sê party kom maklik en ander “kom so met tyd”. Jacques sal vroeg in 2012 met ’n groot platemaatskappy onderhandel in die hoop om gekontrakteer te word. Vir eers kan jy een van Jacques se vertonings bywoon. Op Vrydag is hy by Ge Brody’s in Brackenfell. Op 17 Desember tree hy by die River Bar in Kuilsrvier op en vir Nuwejaarsaand reël hy ’n musiekfees by Tiekiedraai. Besoek Jacques G se Facebookblad vir meer inligting.

‘Blou man’ dink diep oor sy liedjies ’Munks chipwrecked LOUISA STEYL

Ons ken hom maar net as die “blou man met die hoed”, maar daar is soveel meer aan die musiek van Grant Karpakis. “Ek maak al musiek vandat ek só klein was,” sê Grant terwyl hy met sy hand beduie. Voor hy sy solo-loopbaan aangepak het, het Grant klawers en slaginstrumente vir die Corpus Christimusiekgroep gespeel. Grant het al ver gekom van die dae toe hy skaam op die verhoog verskyn het. ’n Vriend het sy oorspronklike musiek gehoor en hom aangemoedig om sy eie liedjies op te neem. Hy het toe drie liedjies by Southern Buzz Studios saam met Wimpie van der Sandt en Wynand Windpomp opgeneem en van dié liedjies speel nou op Bok Radio. “Ons is nou besig om die album op te neem,” sê Grant. Grant sê hy probeer om die style van Chris Chameleon en Bobby van Jaarsveld, die sangers wat hom inspireer, in sy musiek in te bring. “Ek wil soveel meer mense bereik om my musiek te luister en te geniet,” sê hy. “Dit gaan nie soseer oor ek wat hulle vermaak nie, maar eerder dat dit wat ek geskep het, hulle

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked will be released at SterKinekor Cape Gate, Bayside, Parow and Tygervalley this Friday. This live action/animated adventure is the third in the muchloved series and once again stars Jason Lee as father figure Dave Seville, and loveable singing chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore who are voiced by Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney. This time round they embark

on an epic adventure along with the Chipettes (voiced by Anna Faris, Christina Applegate and Amy Poehler) aboard a luxury ocean liner which the ’Munks and the ’Ettes turn into their own personal playground. However, when their antics cause the ship to be wrecked on a supposedly deserted island they have to look for a way back to civilization, and the more they explore their new island habitat, the more obvious it becomes that they aren’t alone.

Zoid in the park: vermaak,” sê hy. Daar is baie dinkwerk wat in Grant se liedjies ingaan. Hy het probeer om die CD kleurvol te hou deur verskillende aspekte in te bring. “As mense daarna luister, moet hulle minstens van een van die liedjies hou,” sê hy. Baie van Grant se liedjies is lank terug al geskryf, soos “Girl of my Dreams” (2007), maar is eers vanjaar opgeneem.

Multiaward winning local musician Karen Zoid will be playing at De Waal Park on Sunday 18 December. Zoid has played at several of SA’s top festivals and various international festivals and benefits. Entrance to the event is free and it begins at 15:00. For more information visit the De Waal park website at www.dewaalpark.co.za.

Hy sê sy aanhangers moet die pers dophou om te sien wanneer hy die nuwe CD gaan bekendstel. Grant beplan tans ’n teater-vertoning in Februarie by Dorpstraat. Hy sê hy hou daarvan om mense met sy vertonings op ’n reis te neem. Hy sit sy liedjies in ’n sekere volgorde om vloei te verseker. Op Grant se webtuiste, www.grantkarpakis.com, kan jy die musiekvideo van sy liedjie “Naamloos” sien.

Cricket top sport for summer fun

Sport Sport

With schools out and summer here, cricket is topping the recreational agenda for over 3 000 children from different communities, who will take part in the 21st annual Sporting Chance Calypso Cricket Festival at local Cape Town beaches. The festival started yesterday and continues until Friday 16 December. The Sporting Chance Calypso Cricket Festival was started by Brad Bing of youth sports development agency Sporting Chance in 1990. The festival, in association with Virgin Active, I&J and Supersport Let’s Play, is an annual highlight for thousands of children from various communities in the Western Cape, including Langa, Manenberg and Ocean View, to pit their cricketing skills against one another. The festival highlights Sporting Chance’s determination to encourage sport as a fixture in all children’s lives, irrespective of race, gender or social class, and to create an uplifting environment to bring together various communities, organisers said. “It is a fantastic achieve-

with a fun-filled holiday. Thami Tsolekile, former Protea’s wicketkeeper and current Lions player, was one of the first participants of the festival. Since then, the Calypso Cricket Festival enabled 43 learners to go on to play provincial cricket at school level. The festival takes place on the following dates in the southern suburbs: Wednesday 14 December at Macassar Beach, and Friday 16 December at Long Beach in Kommetjie.

Women’s softball packs in crowds LYNN PRINS

Turfhall Stadium was filled to capacity for the first time in years, for the opening of the Softball Junior Women’s World Championship (JWWC) on Wednesday 7 December. Our sister newspaper People’s

Post is the media partner of the JWWC. The international guests were entertained by local traditional dances, and the SAPS marching band, before an “awesome” display of softball between South Africa and Botswana ensued, which South Africa won 6-5. Apart from SA showing good character on the field, locals also

showed how well prepared they can be for world events. With Africa and South Africa hosting the JWWC for the first time, there has been praise for the hard-working organisers, volunteers and security. International Softball Federation President Don Porter of USA said: “We are all very pleased with the facilities. The games have been great

up to now and the weather has been beautiful. The organisers are doing a sterling job.” Over the weekend South Africa had a battle, falling short of sealing another win, but the support was and still is growing as the days go by. ISF President Porter commented on South Africa’s performances, saying: “South Africa has made improvements since their last JWWC four years ago, along with teams such as Russia, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Botswana, and Czech Republic. “For Puerto Rico, Brazil, South Africa, and Botswana, this has only been their second appearance, and it is fantastic to see how the sport

is growing, especially in Africa.” People’s Post also spoke to South Africa’s head coach, Lester Smith, asking about the positives he could draw from the tournament. “In a number of areas we are not far off other teams, and I can proudly say that our under-19 girls can compete against any team,” said Smith. When asked about the way forward for South Africa, Smith said: “I think for SA to be truly competitive in softball, the sport should be seen as more than just a social game. “Club and school level need to up their game and we definitely need to strengthen our pitching.”

International Softball Federation President Don Porter awarded Gert Bam, director of Sport, Recreation and Amenities, an historical Atlanta Olympic medal, as well as the ball that was used in the Beijing Olympics. He accepted on behalf of the City of Cape Town, as a token of appreciation to the City of Cape Town for supporting softball and the Junior Women’s World Champi onship.
