As the sun creeps over the horizon in Norscot each Friday, listen carefully and you might hear the unmistakable sound of vuvuzelas trumpeting in the distance.

Track down the source, and you’ll fi nd yourself at the doorstep of Norscot Playschool on Penguin Drive, greeted by a small sea of smiling faces as they show unyielding support for our boys during the 2010 Fifa World Cup™.

Every Friday, children and teachers of Norscot Playschool, and some parents, march to the side of the road with vuvuzelas and South African fl ags in hand to hail motorists on their way to work.

“Th is started about four weeks ago,” explained principal Mandy Bouwer. “Th ere’s quite some traffi c down this road, and we noticed that some of the drivers looked quite grumpy in the morning. We decided to cheer them up and get them into the World Cup spirit by showing support on the roadside.”

Using every ounce of air in their tiny lungs, the children huff ed and puff ed into their colourful vuvuzelas. Obviously their enthusiasm counteracted any threat of hyperventilation.

During the festivities, the Review noticed a very young lad dressed in a Bafana shirt shyly approach the group with vuvuzela in hand.

His name is Kian Hilton, and Bouwer explained that he joined them every Friday, even though he was not part of the playschool.

“He loves this too much and would never miss it,” said his caretaker Lizzy Titi.

Th e school is behind Bafana all the way, and challenges other members of the Fourways community to show as much support as possible for the World Cup.

What a wonderful place Mzanzi could be if the country was to host the Fifa World Cup™ every four years.

Th ree or so out of every fi ve cars on the road sport South African colours or those of other participating nations. And once or twice there is a World Cup offi cial anthem blaring through half-open car windows.

Th e likes of Kaka, Wayne Rooney and other global football stars are sharing our loathed potholed roads and at the moment we love our streets just as they are.

Several major roads have been upgraded and street lights that have been on the blink for years are suddenly bright at night.

Gautrain, the multi-billion rand rapid rail link, has been miraculously fast-tracked and, by the time you read this, will have already ferried a few hundred passengers between OR Tambo International Airport and Sandton.

Th e highways, shopping malls and other buildings have been impressively redecorated to

accommodate national fl ags. Even the Review offi ces in Craighall sport South African colours plus possibly the best World Cup mural in town.

And raise your hand if you don’t just love those roadsiders selling everything from fl ags and mirror socks to stickers, who will stop at nothing to ensure you drive off with at least one item in the colours of your team.

Now sit back and imagine what it would do for nation-building if the scenes of the past fi ve months could recur every four years.

Football fever has the country in its grips indeed. Here’s to hoping that we will all make the most of it and enjoy the experience; after all, it may be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

And to Fifa president Sepp Blatter, may you please break the rules, negotiate with the Brazilian football federation and allow South Africa to defend the World Cup trophy in 2014 on home soil?

Two armed robbers felt the full force of the law when Douglasdale police offi cers foiled their attempted armed robbery at a scrap yard.

Th ree suspects, all Zimbabweans, entered the yard on Witkoppen Road and held up staff at gunpoint. Th ey stole a toolbox and cellphone before fl eeing the scene.

A Douglasdale police vehicle was on patrol in the vicinity and offi cers saw the suspects running from the scene and gave chase. One robber opened fi re on the police and wounded an offi cer.

Th e wounded offi cer returned fi re but the suspect escaped into nearby bushes. Th e other

two suspects aged 29 and 32, who live in Tembisa, were arrested.

Police recovered two 9mm pistols with their serial numbers fi led off , the stolen toolbox and a red VW Golf.

Th e suspects were charged with armed business robbery, attempted murder and possession of illegal fi rearms and ammunition.

Constable Lawrence Mthembu is in hospital recovering from a bullet wound in his arm.

Douglasdale police spokesman Balan Muthan praised the effi ciency of Constable Winnie Moore Motloutsi and Constable Simon Mohale in their arrest of the perpetrators, and wished Mthembu a speedy recovery.

With the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ just around the corner, Douglasdale police offi cers continue to comb shopping malls, nightclubs, petrol stations and hotels to enforce what police spokesman Balan Muthan refers to as ‘100 percent World Cup readiness’.

Th e Review travelled with Douglasdale police on a typical day.

“Th ere are many shopping outlets in the Fourways area and they are now monitored by the police 24 hours a day to help prevent

crime during the coming infl ux of tourists,” said Muthan.

Th eir patrol through the Fourways Mall was interrupted by a workers’ strike, the result of a wage dispute at a pharmacy in the mall. Although employers had protested peacefully while singing and dancing, half a dozen armed police offi cers were present throughout the day to ensure the mob did not get out of hand.

“We are concentrating heavily on the community and our members are working full time” concluded Muthan.

Homeowners in the north who purchased beds through Classic Hospitality have yet to receive furniture or be reimbursed.

According to the contract between the parties, numerous homeowners were required to purchase new beds to meet Classic’s requirements. Many single beds were bought via Classic to replace homeowners’ queen- or king-sized beds.

Homeowner Michael Laubscher had to buy four new single beds for his fl at in Douglasdale. “I made a payment of R3600 to Classic for the beds only two days before the whole project collapsed,” he said, “and we are still without the beds or the money.”

Classic, who was set to provide accommodation for tourists during the 2010 Fifa World Cup™, sent out the cancellation e-mail to homeowners

two weeks ago. Th e e-mail clearly stated, “All unit owners that have ordered and paid for single beds will be refunded in full. Banking details as per contract will be used unless informed otherwise.”

Laubscher said Classic promised him a refund two weeks ago, then promised to pay by the end of last Monday. “But we are still waiting.”

Classic Hospitality has also not yet refunded homeowner, Linda Horsfi eld who purchased two beds for R1800 for her one-bedroom fl at in Pineslopes. “Th e money should have been remitted to the bed supplier immediately,” said Linda. “If Classic has used this money for any other purpose other than to purchase the beds, they have committed fraud.”

Th e Review has attempted to obtain comment from Classic to no avail, but will persist.

Pay attention next time you fi ll up with petrol or you may fi nd yourself at the wrong end of a sneaky scam sweeping across Johannesburg.

Following the investigations of general investigative assessor Pierre van Zyl, it is understood that petrol attendants are involved in tricking motorists into paying more than they should for petrol.

“Th ey wait for the right circumstances, when the fi lling station is full,” he explained. “One petrol attendant fi rst helps a client who is paying cash, while the other waits to help a driver of a bigger 4x4 type car parked at the next pump.

“Th e fi rst attendant does not reset or zero the pump before handing the nozzle to his friend. So, for example, if the driver of a smaller car asks for R100 petrol, the 4x4 owner’s petrol bill starts at that number.

“Th ey split the money and the garage owner does

not pick it up as all costs are covered. Th ey can make over R2000 a day if they are careful.”

Van Zyl discovered this while helping a friend investigate suspected theft at his garage in Polokwane, and told the Review it was happening everywhere.

“After the employees were caught, they admitted to the crime and explained they were preparing to target tourists during the World Cup. Th ey said if the South African public was easily fooled, foreigners would stand no chance.”

Spokesman for the Automobile Association of South Africa Gary Ronald told the Review the scam was a reality.

“It does happen. Motorists must always insist on a receipt after fi lling up, which will counteract the scam,” he explained.

Th e Review spoke to several garage staff members in Douglasdale and Fourways, and all denied knowing about or practising the scam.

STAY ALERT: This would be the perfect scenario for petrol pump attendants to employ a new scam that has come to the fore.

Imagine a community where nearly every person fought at the front lines of drug eradication, where drug dealers had no room to operate because all eyes were on them, and where schools remained drug free.

In a bold new partnership, this may just become a reality.

Two organisations, Drug Detection International (DDI) and the International Law Enforcement Institute (ILEI), plan to roll out two major campaigns. Th eir promise is to abolish drug use in schools and empower any person with the ability to help catch dealers, or shut down drug operations.

“Th is doesn’t mean taking to the streets with a baseball bat to fi ght crime, but rather giving people the knowledge to spot drug dealers, learn how they operate, and pick up the tell-tale signs of a drug den,” said Riaan De Vries of DDI.

“Th e plan is to educate each member of the community on these and other aspects, and they can feed information into a tip-off line we have set up.

“Teams from ILEI will follow up on leads and assist with arrests. No drug dealer would want to operate in that environment.”

At the helm of ILEI is world-renowned expert Lobo das Neves, with more than 14 years’ experience in combating drug-related

crimes locally and internationally. In terms of fi ghting drugs in schools, De

Vries said they had a fail-proof eight-phase programme which also involved educating parents, teachers and pupils on all drug related issues, implementing the tip-off line, as well as appointing drug ambassadors to ensure the school remained drug free.

“We are now compiling a list of people interested in attending the seminar, and we’ll only organise a date once we have about 1200 interested individuals.”

An extensive survey conducted last month by drug counsellor Quintin van Kerken revealed that one in three teenagers was using drugs in the northern suburbs.

Did you know?According to statistics released by the International Narcotic Control Board of the United Nation’s offi ce for drugs and crime, as well as the Central Drug Authority, South Africans consumed three times the world average of tik, marijuana and cocaine.

Additionally, our drug use increased by 20 percent year on year. Th e study showed that 360 000 people were addicted to tik, 4 800 000 people used marijuana and 320 000 people were addicted to cocaine.

DETECTIVE: Riaan De Vries of Drug Detection International last year showed the Review, using a drug detection kit, that addicts often take drugs in restaurant bath-rooms. He has partnered with the International Law Enforcement Institute to take the fi ght against drugs further.

Vandalism of Eskom installations costs taxpayers millions of rands annually and has a negative impact on service delivery, according to Eskom.

“Damage to electricity installations, which can range from illegal entry into substations to cutting down electricity poles, invariably requires that infrastructure be replaced at great cost.

“Taken to its logical conclusion, this means that money that could have been used to provide connections to consumers is diverted to the cost of replacement,” said Moniwa Mahlangu, manager of Safety, Health and Environment at Eskom Distribution.

“Th e worst case is when vandals leave power lines lying on the ground or, previously secure installations, open to the public. Unfortunately, it is often curious children who pay the price. Vandals do not seem to care that electrical installations are ultimately the property of communities,” added Mahlangu. “Th ese facilities are fi nanced through electricity charges levied against residents of a community.”

He said it was important for communities to safeguard their own interests by reporting incidents of vandalism to Eskom or the local municipality as soon as they were observed.

Th e Acres of Love orphanage is under threat from the Klein Jukskei River.

As rubbish piled up against a monstrous leaking sewerage pipe across the Klein Jukskei River in Meadowhurst (Sewage Th reat, Fourways Review, week ending 28 May), the diverted water fl ow has eroded the embankment and created a gaping hole next to the orphanage’s fence.

About 35metres of riverbank is eroded, with the section at the orphanage the most severe.

“Th e orphanage has a sturdy palisade fence but the erosion has chiselled the bank under it. What is to stop a small child from falling into the river?” asked Ward 101 councillor Ralf Bittkau.

Bittkau said Joburg Water ( JW) had yet to clear the rubbish in the river. “It is the utility’s

responsibility because it has to protect its pipelines.”

Bittkau said he had phoned JW about this rubbish collection but had been told it would be diffi cult to drive a crane to the location. “I’ve contacted them on numerous occasions but nothing happens,” said Bittkau.

He said JW had fi xed the leak after the Review reported it but new leaks kept appearing because of the pressure.

Matsimela had assured Bittkau the pipe would be replaced.

“But Joburg Water should realise the matter of erosion is extremely urgent and, with an orphanage in the vicinity, action must be taken immediately.”

Joburg Water spokesman Baldwin Matsimela told the Review he would escalate the matter to the maintenance team in the area to investigate.

Questions regarding the frequent power outages in Jukskei Park have been answered but there appears to be no solution as another cut occurred last week.

City Power’s Louis Pieterse said a cable joint failure caused the frequent outages last month. “Th is is a technical matter which usually takes four to eight hours to repair,” he explained.

Pieterse said the repairs had been done. “Jukskei Park had numerous faults in a short space of time and this was unfortunate, but these things do happen,” he said.

Questioned about last week’s power cuts, Pieterse said there were no planned cuts and the outage was

probably the result of a network failure. He could not confi rm if the cuts would cease to continue on a regular basis. “Often with a cable joint failure which happens because of age, a second fault occurs,” he said.

Meanwhile Jukskei Park residents are not happy with the overgrowth at the substation in Christoliet Street.

Pieterse said City Power conducted inspections at its 17 000 substations biannually. “A lot can happen in six months, especially the grass growing so fast with the heavy rains we’ve had.”

Pieterse could not confi rm when Christoliet’s substation would be maintained.

Th e road Bridle Pass in Kyalami, has been closed, leaving commuters from Pretoria and further north to use alternative routes.

Since the closure, only residents of the area are allowed to use the road. According to Andrew Dicks of the residents’ Road Closure Committee, the road closure project had been on-going for fi ve years.

Many residents from Pretoria and Centurion used Bridle Pass off the R562 to get back onto Main Road in Kyalami.

Originally, most commuters were outraged at the announcement of the road closure, a project supported by Th e Greater Kyalami Conservancy. Regular user of Bridle Pass, Chantal Haynes was not happy to be handed the fl yer last month informing her of the closure. “I thought an additional 30 to 45 minutes travel time would be added to my drive,” she explained. “But since the offi cial closure we have found the alternate routes actually work better as there are not as many speed humps.”

Dicks said, “Th e surrounding main arterial road infrastructure has failed to keep up with traffi c demand and traffi c has impeded on the lifestyle of those living in the area, and also threatened lives.”

According to the Road Closure Committee there have been many accidents on the road in the past year. “Two endangered grass owls, a jackal cub and two genets have been reported killed on Bridle Pass,” said Dicks.

Half of the jobs in Gauteng are not up to standard.

According to fi ndings in a survey by the Gauteng City Region Observatory (GCRO), a think-tank formed in 2008 between the universities of Johannesburg and the Witwatersrand, and the Gauteng provincial government, race relations were under strain in Gauteng. Only four out of 10 whites believed that trust between blacks and white would develop over time.

Executive director of GCRO, Professor David Everatt, said the main objective of the partnership was to assist government in the development of the province as a city region.

Everatt said the survey sampled 6 636 respondents from Gauteng and densely populated areas just outside the province’s boundaries. “Respondents were asked about their quality of life, and their employment and conditions of work.”

Th e survey probed aspects of employment that could generally be regarded as criteria for decent work, said a GCRO researcher, Sizwe Phakathi. “Th ese included whether the

employee had a contract, and whether the company provided training/education, paid sick leave and family leave, a housing subsidy, a transport allowance, overtime, medical aid, pension, and performance and annual bonuses.’’

Phakathi said the survey found 14 percent of full-time employees in the formal sector worked without an employment contract.

Th is rose to 30 percent for those employed part-time in formal sector jobs. 67 percent of all respondents were without medical aid, 48 percent had no sick leave benefi t, and 53 percent were without any form of pension.

Phakathi said the fi nding highlighted issues raised by President Jacob Zuma at a May Day gathering in Durban, where Zuma was quoted as saying government planned to introduce new laws to promote decent work for everyone.

By early next year, the city’s health authorities believe they will achieve their goal of testing and treating at least one million people for chronic diseases including HIV/Aids, TB, high blood pressure and anaemia.

Th is was revealed by Bengeza Mthombeni, Member of the Mayoral Committee on Health, at the launch of the HIV and Comprehensive Care Management and Antiretroviral Treatment services at Zandspruit Clinic.

Mabengezi said the clinic would provide testing and treatment services for chronic diseases to at least 66 000 people living in Zandspruit and Cosmo City and surrounds.

He told the audience his department took seriously the

pronouncement by President Jacob Zuma that any citizen with a chronic disease should be able to walk into a health centre and ask for counselling, testing and treatment.

He said the centre at the clinic intended giving treatment to HIV positive children under a year old, HIV-positive pregnant women with a CD4 blood count of less than 350, HIV-positive individuals who were ill even though their CD4 blood count was high, and TB patients.

“We intend increasing health service in Zandspruit in line with the 10-point plan of the national Department of Health, and will accelerate the implementation of the HIV/Aids strategic plan, with an increased focus on TB and other communicable diseases.”

Th e fi rst Gauteng Provincial Youth Summit was held to defi ne policy on youth development, with MEC for Infrastructure Development, Nonhlanhla Mazibuko hosting faith-based, non-government and disabled youth organisations at the Johannesburg City Hall.

In May 2005, the cabinet of Gauteng provincial government adopted the Gauteng Integrated Youth Development Strategy (GIYDS) 2004 – 2009, a blueprint outlining the province’s vision for youth development, and how it intended to ensure that an environment was created for the youth in Gauteng to reach their full potential.

Mazibuko said, “Youth development must be integrated as service delivery models and we are trying to achieve this with the promotion of participation of young people in developmental mechanisms. However this integration must be gender inclusive and also involve people with disabilities,” said Mazibuko.

GIYDS aims to increase access to youth economic opportunities, create more absorption of learnerships and internship graduates, improve HIV/Aids awareness among the youth, develop an online unemployed youth database, and facilitate sustainable partnerships with Sector and Education Training Authorities.

Taxi associations operating from three major taxi ranks in the inner city still owe the City of Joburg millions for rent.

Th is has been the case since 2004 when they last paid their R2 a day, per taxi, per rank rental.

A furious senior offi cial of an association at Bree Street taxi rank who spoke to this newspaper on condition of anonymity said the taxi rank was fi lthy and riddled with potholes as big as sinkholes and had the fi lthiest, most disgusting and unhygienic toilets.

“Why must we pay - no one cares about our health and cars. Where does the money go?’’ he asked.

In the past taxi operators were locked out of the rank for three weeks for defaulting on rent. It was later re-opened after intense negotiations.

Th e decision to re-open the rank came after a meeting between the Metro Trading Company (MTC), a city council entity that ran the mall, and various inner city taxi malls. According to MTC, this taxi rank housed 3 500 taxis that operated diff erent routes around Johannesburg and West Rand.

Leandra Panico writes:Th e water supply in Fourways is an absolute disgrace.

We moved to Fourways seven months ago after residing in Kelvin for 22 years, and in these past seven months we have had more water interruptions than in all our years in Kelvin.

At no stage during negotiations for the purchase of our house were we ever given any indication of this problem.

It is unacceptable that, in an up-market area such as Fourways, these interruptions occur as frequently as they do and always without prior notice.

Once water is restored it is brown and gritty and stays that way for up to two days after the interruption. Is Joburg

Water to reimburse its clients for water wasted while running taps until water turns clear?

Why should I continue to pay rates or my water account for such disgusting service? Th e standard answer to the problem from Joburg Water is, ‘A water main has burst in Alexander Avenue due to ageing water pipes and a faulty and overloaded system.’

Th is is Joburg Water’s problem not the homeowners’. In view of the exorbitant rates we pay, this system should have been upgraded long ago.

Perhaps it is time for homeowners of Fourways to boycott the City of Joburg rates department until we have a reliable water supply.

Jessica writes: Many people erroneously believe cats can fend for themselves.

Cat owners often abandon their cats when they move, or no longer want the responsibility of pet ownership.

Such cats survive only if they fi nd food, shelter, and avoid dangers such as injury from cars, dogs, other cats, or abusive humans.

Th e killing of feral cats does not control their population, as other cats arrive to take their place. However, if a colony has a stable population of neutered cats, they stay and no more cats move in.

We appeal to the public to help with

any donations of food/shelter, to volunteer some of their time to feed the many feral cats and kittens living in Sunninghill and Fourways and, more importantly, to assist with sterilisation.

We are in the process of feeding and trapping and sterilising in order to minimise the diseases and breeding of these cats.

As it’s getting very cold now and most of them live in the veld, we are also in need of blankets/shelters etc.

Please contact us if you are willing to help.

Joanne writes:It is all very well for the community to respond to the call to clean up the fi lthy taxi rank, when it will look just as bad two days later. Is it not time for the taxis to come to the party?

Time and again I see them cleaning out their taxis while waiting for passengers, simply throwing their rubbish on the pavement or gutter next to their vehicle.

Th ey should be obliged to carry refuse bags in the taxis. Taxi drivers have a

reputation for being dictatorial bullies, so they should have no problem making the passengers use the refuse bags and refrain from throwing their litter out of the windows and on the fl oor of the taxi.

Perhaps city council could make the taxi drivers responsible for keeping their ranks clean or be liable for closure?

So much eff ort is being made to clean up the country for the World Cup, but the taxis merrily pursue their own fi lthy trail.

Traffi c please, no jamIt’s common knowledge that traffi c offi cers are employed, among other things, to inspect licences, examine vehicles and be traffi c wardens. Often they do just the opposite.

Of late they have a tendency to stand in a group next to a traffi c light, generally one out of order, giving the impression there is a serious problem.

But instead of controlling the fl ow they mill about with hands in pockets, while motorists slow down, under the impression there is an accident or roadblock.

Punchline also notes with much

irritation that traffi c offi cers tend to have three diff erent stop and checks along one road so that the poor motorist stands the chance of going through the same rigmarole of licence inspection and car search every 200 metres or so.

Punchline was caught up in this very inconvenience while rushing to an important assignment.

What irks is that some offi cers don’t even greet you, and just stop and order you out of the car like a common criminal. Even more vexatious is the explanation for this from authorities, that some

offi cers are fresh out of college. All this does is beg the question,

what are they taught at the academy? Th is sort of behaviour could also lead to many believing that the allegations of corruption and nepotism recently levelled at the academy by two students are true.

Motorists expect nothing but respect. And if this can’t be done guilty traffi c offi cers need to return to the academy to learn about customer relations fi nish and klaar.

AYANDA BUTHELEZI

Omphemetse Keepile has become a hero after she won R100 000 for naming a 1.95 million-year-old hominid that was discovered in the Cradle of Humankind.

Th e 17-year-old pupil from St Mary’s school in Waverley’s winning entry was selected from more than 15 000 submissions in a naming competition sponsored by Standard Bank and Palaeontological Scientifi c (Past) in association with Wits University and the Department of Science and Technology.

Competition rules stipulated that the fossil’s name had to be no longer than 15 letters and could be any South African language. Pupils had to submit a motivation on why the species was given such name.

She was one of two pupils from St Mary’s who made it to the fi nals.

Karabo, answer in

Setswana, is the name Keepile gave to the skeleton.

“I chose the name because I believe the discovery will provide solutions in solving clues in research. It will also inform about the evolution of human species,” said Keepile.

Th e winning entry scooped her R75 000 towards her education and R25 000 for her school to be used for science education, and a replica model of the child hominid fossil.

About her win, Keepile said, “I sometimes amaze myself. If you believe in something go for it because the results will be amazing.

Th is Grade 12 pupil is not sure of her specifi c career choice yet but is adamant she’ll be studying B-Com at Wits University next year.

Fourways residents launch their booksMATTHEW WOOD

Fourways residents Ntsikelelo Mzibomvu and Pastor Moema launched their fi rst books at a joint event at Xarra Books in Newtown.

Held in Mary Fitzgerald Square, the launch began with an opening prayer and songs of praise before the men spoke about their books.

Mzibomvu said the theme behind his book, Beyond Democracy, was that

South Africa still felt the scars of apartheid and, despite 16 years of democracy, still had a long way to go.

“We cannot look at ourselves in terms of black, white or coloured anymore. Behind the colours are a similar energy and a collective consciousness we all share.

“We cannot keep blaming the government as it’s still young. My book shows how we can assist the government by changing our mindset

and igniting the South African renaissance towards a brighter future.”

Moema said his book, Th ought Lines, showed the reader how to understand the true self, and how to dislodge negative thoughts.

“You can condemn yourself with your thoughts, but your thoughts can liberate you too.

“Th oughts can be changed and to come out on top takes hard work.”

Madiba’s personal assistant Zelda le Grange and singer Bok van Blerk were in the studio with the Jacaranda 94.2 Just Plain Breakfast team last week, and revealed an exciting initiative for celebrating Mandela Day.

A select group of celebrities who are avid bikers, including Van Blerk and his girlfriend, will leave Johannesburg on 13 July, touring through rural South Africa to arrive in Cape Town on 18 July. Along the way they will stop at various townships and community projects, spending 67 minutes getting their hands dirty doing anything from

fi xing fences to peeling vegetables in aid of those less fortunate.

Th e aim is to be a practical example of the diff erence people can make in their communities by not just throwing money at the matter. Th e core group amounts to about 30 people but bikers across the country are invited to join the troop on the day.

“Th e simple things we do change lives - going to a hospital harbouring sick children and simply giving them a balloon to brighten their day makes a huge diff erence in their lives,” said Van Blerk.

Jump before you danceSTUART DICKINSON

When matric dance rolls around each year, understandably most students rely on their parents to fund a great night out.

But a group of pupils from Greenwich College have decided to take matters into their own hands, at the same time raising money for several charities in conjunction with the Rivonia Round Table.

About 50 pupils will take part in a 24-hour trampoline jump at the Rivonia Sports Club on 24 July.

Th ey will be split into teams and take turns on the trampoline, ensuring the bouncing never stops.

Parent and event organiser Samantha Payze explained that big-screen TVs

would be set up in beer tents, allowing rugby fans to watch the Tri-Nations test match on the Saturday, while children enjoyed jumping castles, movies and other entertainment.

At night, a lighting technician will transform the trampoline tent into a disco, where people can party the night away while showing their support for the teams.

“Funds raised on the weekend will go towards their matric dance, as well as two charities we have identifi ed,” said Payze.

She also explained that they planned to enter this feat into the Guinness Book of Records since no record of its kind existed.

SHARMAINE REUTER

With her captivating on-stage presence, Tshepi Mashego (24) of Fourways looks set to reach her dream of becoming a West End performer.

Th e Pretoria-born beauty had her pro-debut in 2006 when she played a lead role in Pieter Toerien’s production Hair. Fresh out of university from studying musical theatre, Mashego had stars in her eyes. “I was in awe working with such a dynamic producer,” she said.

Th e wheels kept turning and Mashego moved from role to role starring in a kaleidoscope of productions.

A career highlight was her role in Amen Corner when she worked with her role models Naledi award-winning director, James Ngcobo, and Isle Klink.

Continuing her climb up the ladder, she starred in South Africa’s High School Musical.

It helped catapult the singer into the spotlight but the cherry on top was meeting her boyfriend who she has dated for more than two years. “He is the love of my life and I met him on stage,” she said.

One of her most famous roles was as Diphuka in Rhythm City where Mashego said she learnt so much.

But at the end of last year, the actress thought her career had ended when she injured herself on stage during the pantomime, Pinocchio. “It was awful,” remembered Mashego. “Th e pain in my ankle was excruciating.” But after three

months of physiotherapy, Mashego has returned as Cinderella.

“I love being on stage although my real love is music,” said Tshepi. Th e singer has a passion for jazz and is currently working on an album. “I want to incorporate theatre into live jazz music because performance is everything and your entire being becomes a part of it.”

NIE CELE

Second-placed Caxton Cobras lost their fi rst match of the second Corporate Soccer League season to log leaders Pfi zer Laboratories at Sandown high school last Th ursday night.

Both sides started the game like a house on fi re, spraying accurate passes but failing to penetrate the rock-solid defence and fi nding the net.

But judging by the way Cobras played it was clear they were missing their all-time talisman and leading goal scorer, Damion van Alphen, who couldn’t make it to the game due to a work commitment.

Most of the game was characterised by free kicks and throw-ins caused by tight marking and hospital tackles from both sides.

Not even free kicks awarded by the sometimes dubious referee could assist either side.

Despite Cobras’ coach, Abed Ahmed, cheering his boys from the touchline the game went to half-time goalless.

Ahmed told his boys to communicate and shoot from a distance.

Th ey tried that but the opposition goalkeeper thwarted their attempts.

Second half, both sides beefed up their teams by bringing in substitutes, and for Cobras the newly recruited Peter Ramothwala played his fi rst match in the team’s red and white colours.

Other substitutes Tsepo Mabaso and Th eo Nkonki, both strikers, were brought in, but still the score remained unchanged.

Towards the end of the game a scramble for the ball in the middle of the park saw a Pfi zer striker making hay while he dribbled and sliced through the ball-watching Cobras’ defence to score a beautiful goal.

From there Pfi zer defended with all players until the fi nal whistle.

After the the game, a defeated Ramothwala remarked, “Th ese boys can play.

“I am not surprised as they’re younger and much fi tter that us.”

Gauteng’s riding teams will compete for top honours in the SA Pony Rider Championships hosted this year by the Gauteng Horse Society at Kyalami Equestrian Park from 11 to 19 June.

Th e 2010 Fifa World Cup™ will infuse its colours as the theme for this year’s championship and the grounds and clubhouse will be decorated with the fl ags of the world.

Each province’s top riders in the fi ve riding disciplines, namely dressage, equitation, eventing, showing and show jumping, have been selected based on excellent performance over the past year.

A boot camp was held for the Gauteng teams last weekend, where Blue Bulls mental fi tness coach, Jannie Putter ran a workshop with the children, with outstanding results in team spirit and enthusiasm.

Th e 2010 Fifa World Cup™ kick-off is bringing euphoria to soccer lovers, fans and enthusiastic schoolchildren.

More than 1 000 South African children between the ages of six and 10 are lining up to enjoy this enormous global event as they get a chance to walk the tunnel onto the pitch with their heroes, thanks to McDonald’s Player Escort programme.

Th is exclusive programme will soon make dreams come true for some children recruited via the Player Escorts in-store promotions.

Six-year-old Rorisang Baloyi of Berea, a Grade 1 pupil at Parktown primary school is one of the lucky escorts who will walk down the tunnel with the international players at Soccer City stadium when Spain locks horns with Honduras.

Th is young Bafana Bafana supporter who said he wanted to be a doctor when he grew up, will be at the stadium for the fi rst time and said this was the best thing to have ever happened to him.

Th e fact that he will be watching a World Cup match is another bonus because most of his peers have never had an opportunity to go to a stadium let alone watch a soccer match live.

Nine-year-old Kagiso Mashaba, a Grade 4 pupil at St Peter’s Claver’s school who plays soccer in the township streets and is an avid Bafana Bafana supporter could not hide his excitement about walking the tunnel for the Argentina vs South Korea game.

Mashaba aspired to being a lawyer but before that would like to play for Bafana Bafana.

“I’m confi dent that we have created history.”So said Irvin Khoza, chairman of the 2010

Fifa World Cup™ Local Organising Committee, after its fi nal meeting ahead of the tournament’s kick-off on 11 June.

Addressing various members of the world media in Sandton following the meeting, Danny

Jordaan, chief executive offi cer of the committee, said it was used to discuss issues such as the contentious Kick-Off Celebration Concert, the opening ceremony and other operational aspects of the tournament.

When probed about the supposed terrorist threat to the tournament, Valcke said he had faith in the security and intelligence agencies tasked with ensuring community safety over the

World Cup period. “I wouldn’t want to have bad intentions

regarding the extraordinary US-England clash. Th e security there will be watertight!”

Th e committee is set to hold a fi nal meeting after the World Cup where the bidding countries for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments will have an opportunity to table their proposals.

REVIEW REPORTER

Management and staff of the Fourways Review were mortifi ed to discover that the otherwise fabulous 32-page football supplement Everybody’s Guide to Soccer, praised by the football universe at large, was marred by the publishing of the incorrect England and Cameroon national fl ags.

In our investigation into the bottom of the incident, a shocking allegation came to light. Readers reported their suspicions of sabotage by

supporters of countries bordering England and Cameroon (that didn’t qualify for the 2010 Fifa World Cup™) who were involved in printing the supplement. It is alleged they decided to sabotage the project by replacing the correct fl ags with what we can only call imposters.

We are currently verifying the claims and will take severe action against the guilty parties.

Please send suggestions of appropriate punishment for the convicted saboteurs to [email protected]

REVIEW REPORTER

Kyalami’s horse rider Paul Hart represented South Africa at the recent Saumur CCI three-day event, impressing international riders with his standard of riding.

Th e competition was held in the heart of wine country in the Loire Valley, France, but the hot, dry weather failed to deter the Kyalami resident.

“It was interesting that there was not one let-up on the course,” said Hart, describing the cross-country course. “Th e riders never seemed to get a break with easy fences.”

Th ere were 23 jumps on the course with four water complexes. Th e course was 5.8km long to be run at a speed of 570m per minute.

Hart was the fi rst out for South Africa and his picture perfect jump at number 17 was a triple combination on a downhill that sloped

to the right.Th e following day saw the show jumping

grounds packed with spectators. Hart and his horse took two poles but were ecstatic to have fi nished the event.

In total there were 48 world-class three-star riders who started with only 32 at the fi nish.

Th e next event will be Vittel in France later this month.

South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) has announced the squad that will compete in the fi rst Youth Olympics in Singapore later this year.

Th e announcement was made by Sascoc president Gideon Sam. Th e squad will include 62 athletes, 24 offi cials and fi ve medical offi cers from around the country

Th e athletes will participate in athletics, aquatics, basketball, canoeing, cycling, equestrian disciplines, fencing, gymnastics, hockey, rowing, triathlon, weightlifting and wrestling.

Cultural and educational programmes will be part of the event and mandatory for athletes.

“Th ese youngsters have qualifi ed to be here, they were not randomly picked,” said Sam.

“Th e Singapore Youth Olympics will for the fi rst time allow the world’s youth aged 14 to 18 the opportunity to compete on an international level and hopefully gain the experience to be selected for their fi rst Olympic squad.”

Chef de Mission or custodian of the South African squad Dave Carr said he was adamant they would not disappoint their country.

“On this level, besides winning medals which we will, we have to allow these youngsters to integrate on a cultural and social level which will give them the respect they need to make an impact on the Olympic Games,” said Carr.

Th e event in Singapore will see 3600 athletes, 1200 media members and an anticipated spectatorship of close to 400 000. It will be held from August 14 to 26.
