Chaeli Sports and RecreationClub (CSRC) in Plumstead isover the moon because their

wheelchair assisted activists willbe participating in the 2016 Com-rades marathon in Durban laternext month.ChaeliMycroft (21) from andAn-

ita Engelbrecht (22)will be the firstwheelchair athletes ever to partici-pate in the Comrades Marathon.The 91st edition of the world’s

biggest and oldest ultra-marathonwill take place on Sunday 29 May.They will be assisted by their run-ning partners on the 89km uphillrun from Pietermaritzburg to Dur-ban. These two dynamic ability ac-tivists challenged the ComradesMarathon rule (CMA) that stated“no wheelchairs or mechanicalaids” would be allowed entry intothe Comrades.Mycroft, an ability activist and

adventurer who was born with ce-rebral palsy, is a spastic quadriple-gic and has a degenerative neurop-athy. She is currently studying foran honours degree in social policyandmanagement at the Universityof Cape Town. Mycroft says it isgreat to see CMA and ASA uphold-ing the rights provided by SouthAfrica’s constitution.“People with disabilities are of-

ten sidelined by society, and this isan opportunity to show that we areactive and capable members of ourcommunities.”Engelbrecht, who is an ability

activist, cyclist and runner, wasborn with cerebral palsy and is aspastic diplegic. She is in her thirdyear doing her Bachelor in Com-merce degree at Stellenbosch Uni-versity. Engelbrecht says: “Onlythose who attempt the absurd canachieve the impossible.”Zelda Mycroft, the CSRC chief

executive officer, says this is histo-ry in the making. “This is greatnews.We couldn’t be happier. Thispaves the way for more greatthings. The CSRC and Chaeli Cam-paign look forward to partnering

CMAandASA in growingmore op-portunities forwheelchair athletesto enter the mainstreammarathonand ultra-marathon arenas to con-tinue growing awareness that abil-ity comes in all shapes and forms.Inclusive sport inspires and is ben-eficial to all who practise it as wellas the spectators and administra-tors who cheer on our brave ath-letes.”Though today they have some-

thing to celebrate, it wasn’t a walkin the park to have these two in-cluded in the marathon. This rul-ing that they fought so hard for,started with engagement withCMA in February. After hitting ahard rock and being denied, theynever gave up. They fought harderand even had a petition goingaround so that they could be in-cluded.Making the announcement last

week, Macdonald Chitja, the CMAchairperson, said CMA has notedand is in the process of implement-ing a directive from ASA that twowheelchair assisted participantsbe permitted to participate in the2016 Comrades Marathon.“The CMAwelcomes this histor-

ic decision for our sport andwe em-brace it in linewith the spirit of theComrades Marathon’s values andvision of equality and inclusivity.”Chitja added it was important to

note that the two athletes (Mycroftand Engelbrecht) have compliedwith the standard qualifying timesand entry requirements for therace.“As organisers our primary con-

cern is the safety of all participantsand as a matter of urgency we willbe consulting with various role-players in a process of reassessingour medical, technical, safety andsecurity and logistical arrange-ments to determine possible im-pacts and necessary adjustmentswhich we may need to implementin order to ensure there is no com-promise to thewell-being of all par-ticipants.”Mycroft and Engelbrecht quali-

fied for the event in the Red Hillmarathon earlier this year.



Hilton Murray and James Chevallier, running partners to Anita Engelbrecht and Chaeli Mycroft will be taking partin this year’s Comrades marathon which has allowed wheelchair assisted people for the very first time.

Fabio O’Ryan-Paulo may only be in Grade8 at Claremont High but he’s already a

winner – and in the Guinness Book ofRecords.The 13-year-old from Rondebosch East

proudly shows off the certificate that he re-cently received to prove his accomplish-ment – building a two-block piston door inMinecraft in record time.If you’re not into online gamingyouwon’t

knowwhat this is all about, but he explainsthat Minecraft is an online educationalstrategy game about breaking and placingblocks.“It started with gamers building struc-

tures to protect againstmonsters, but as thegame grew players worked together to cre-atewonderful, imaginative things,” he said.“Now you can build anything in your im-

agination. You can even build whole coun-tries.”Fabio saw the online challenge in Decem-

ber last year competing against thousandsof gamers. He posted his efforts onto the siteand the rest, as they say, is history.While there is no major prize, the young-

ster feels that it is still great to be acknowl-edged as a “world-beater”.“I enjoy playing because it shows me

what I can do with my imagination,” hesays.Mom, Bridget, added that Fabio makes

her very proud because he also excels aca-demically.“He was selected to participate in each

ScienceOlympiad at primary school aswellas receiving distinction in theAnnual Hori-zon Maths competition last year where hewas 1 of 200 invited to an awards eveningat the Baxter,” she said.“He is a logical thinker hence he excels

at this sort of activity. He’s always had aninterest in the Guinness record books andcurrently has 22 editions on his bookshelf.“When I told him how proud I am of his

Guinness achievement all he said was“Why? It’s nothing! It’s not a big deal!”

Capetoniansmay soon be using tuk-tuk vehi-cles to travel short distances within the cityand surrounding suburbs.On Friday 15 April the City of Cape Town

issued a tender for the provision of tuk-tukpublic transport services, saysMayoral com-mittee member for transport, Brett Herron.A tuk-tuk is a three-wheeled motor vehicle

designed or modified for transporting notmore than three seated people, including thedriver.“We want to use this tender process to ap-

point public transport operators whowill op-erate 80 tuk-tuk vehicles across eight areasin Cape Town and the far south.“The tuk-tuk vehicles are intended for

those wanting to travel short distances ofthree kilometres or less to local destinations.People who should benefit from using thetuk-tuk vehicles are those who do not neces-sarily want tomake use of ametered taxi ser-vice, but also donotwant towalk twoor threekilometres to their destination,” he says.The eight initial areas where the tuk-tuk

vehicles will be allowed to operate will beFresnaye and Bantry Bay, Sea Point, GreenPoint, Bo-Kaap and De Waterkant, Tambo-erskloof, Walmer Estate, University Estate,Zonnebloem and District Six, Kalk Bay, St

James and Fish Hoek, and Simon’s Town.“Wewillmake 80 operating licences availa-

ble, butwe have not decided as yet howmanytuk-tuk vehicles will be allowed to operate ineach area,” he says.Even though the outcome of the tender

process will determine the number of opera-tors to be appointed, the Citywill not appointmore than eight successful bidders, Herronsays.The tuk-tuk operators will have to comply

with service standards and licence condi-tions – for example, they will not be allowedto transport commuters along any of the My-CiTi routes during the times that theMyCiTiservice is operational. “Ideallywewould liketo see the tuk-tuk vehicles transporting com-muters to their nearest MyCiTi station orstop from where they will be able to boarda bus to complete their journey. Potentialtuk-tuk operators will have to submit a busi-ness plan and in those areaswhere theMyCi-Ti service is operating they should indicatehow they intend to operate the tuk-tuks insupport of theMyCiTi service,” says Herron.If the tender process goes according to plan

and the City receives responsive bids, thetuk-tuk vehicles may be operating as from 1September.

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

As runners and walkers traverse theroute of this year’s Slave Route Chal-

lenge, many will trace the footsteps of theirancestors and former slaves.

This year’s Slave Route Challenge, ofwhich People’s Post is a media sponsor, willsee participants giving honour to individu-al slaves of the Cape’s past.

Each runner will carry one of the 8000names of slaves who appear on a “columnof memory” at the Iziko Slave Lodge in thecity centre (“Slave names give runnerswings”, People’s Post, 15 March) during therace on Sunday 8 May.

The race route takes runners past severalhistorically significant landmarks, such asthe Castle of Good Hope, Grand Parade, theWhipping Post, Old Slave Church, the SlaveTree Plaque and the Iziko Slave Lodge.

Life as a slaveMooi Angela from Bengal, also known as

Ansla van Bengalen, was brought to theCape before the large-sale importation ofslaves and before the Slave Lodge was evenbuilt.

She was brought to the Cape by a DutchEast Indian official, Pieter Kemp, whobought her when stationed in the BatavianRepublic.

Returning from the Netherlands hebrought Angela with him and sold her inCape Town to Jan van Riebeeck in 1655. Hein turn sold her to Abraham Gabbema, theSecond-in-Command at the Cape, recountsAngela’s descendent, Lucy Centlivres.

“A very special day in Angela’s life was13 April 1666 when she was granted her in-dependence,” Centlivres says.

Angela petitioned the Governor to granther a piece of land where she started grow-ing fruit and vegetables which she sold topassing ships.

She was granted a plot in what is now Cas-tle Street, and would have traversed manyof the streets along which the Slave RouteChallenge passes.

She became a successful farmer andhelped her sons on their farms in the Drak-enstein area. “By the time she died she wasvery well off and her daughter, Anna deKoning, married to Olof Bergh, was therichest woman at the Cape. We could callher the first women entrepreneur at theCape,” says Centlivres.

Remembering ancestorsAlthough uncertain who Angela married

first, in 1669 she married Arnoldus Wil-lemsz Basson, the founding father of all theBassons in South Africa and Centlivres’forefather.

The Slave Route Challenge is a time forCentlivres to look back on her history, re-membering and honouring so many of theslaves who built the Cape colony.

“I am proud to trace my heritage back tobeautiful, courageous Angela, who didn’tallow horrendous circumstances to get herdown,” she says.

Although Centlivres is not able to run theroute herself, it warms her to think that herancestors have not been forgotten.

“If someone would run the Slave Route inhonour of Angela, I would be thrilled. Myancestors’ histories have enriched my lifeand given me a better understanding of thehistory of my country and the many colour-ful personalities in it.”V For more information, visit www.iamrunning-for.co.za.

of activity as the Urban Harvest team andlearners from the school planted the vegeta-bles in the morning with support from theBotanical Society of South Africa (BotSoc)Head Office staff members CatherineBrowne and Nasera Baker.In the afternoon the school was “invaded”

by theRustenburgGirls’ HighSchool EarthChil-

dren club, representatives fromWoolworthsFinancial Services as well as learners andstaff from Observatory Junior School, aneighbouring school where Urban Harvesthas previously also installed a wonderfulfood garden that’s thriving.The school has only 200 learners and the

produce from the planned garden will feedthe learners daily.Catherine Browne from BotSoc explained

that Urban Harvest is leading the project toestablish a large food garden for the school.“We (BotSoc) joined forces with them and

contributed towards this heart-warming ini-tiative, sponsoring theperennial indigenousperimeter garden,” she said.“This partnered project will impact lives

and it’s magic to play a role in making posi-tive differences in the lives of communities,schools and children. Together we can im-pact change.”She added that the botanical society is pas-

sionate about encouraging and nurturing alove and passion for nature and love beinga part of such initiatives.“Reaching out to special needs youth is

close to ourhearts and spreading excitementand interest in plants and the environment

is vital.“Sooften learners andcommunities donot

have exposure to the wonders of biodiversi-ty, have not dug their fingers into the soil,watched plants grow or harvested the pro-duce of their labour.“This project allows for all that and more.

Greening the school greens the lives andhearts of all involved. This project will havean ongoing effect. As the garden grows anddevelops, the learners will experience thejoys of gardening and learn about and enjoythe produce too.“It’s wonderful to play a role in this out-

reach and support creating a green space forspecial needs learners.”

She also thanked the amazing Urban Har-vest Edible Gardens team for the great workthey continue doing, greening schools andcommunities.“We are proud to partner with them feed-

ing hungry tummies and hungry inquisitiveminds with passion for biodiversity and un-derstanding nature.”Woolworths Financial Services sponsored

plants and volunteers, while fruit treesweresponsored by Greenpop, Reliance Compostdonated compost and the Pole Yard spon-sored the garden fencing.V Find out more about the BotSoc and sign up as amember of a legacy, high impact NGO at www.botani-calsociety.org.za.

A young singing sensation from Ottery ison a mission to make her voice heard

across the world and is taking that first stepwith a trip to the USA in July.Aliyah Cloete (17), a Grade 12 learner at

Bergvliet High, is no stranger to the stageas part of various ensembles at the schooland winning awards at various competi-tions around town.She is serious about her music and will be

taking that big step to make her voice heardat the annual ITS Talent Search in Floridain the USA during July.She explained that it all started with the

South African auditions last year with herending up in the main showcase.“My performance got me into the finals

and being chosen as one of the representa-tives from here,” she says.“It’s been tough because for the past six

months I havebeen takingpart in talent bootcamps to prepare me for the showcase inAmerica. This is where talent scouts fromacross theworld and fromvarious recordingcompanies, film and television all gather towatch you perform in various showcaseswhere you could be noticed and signed upfor further success.”Aliyah has always known that music was

going to be her life because she has beensinging at concerts since she was five yearsold.“I started taking voice lessons when I was

seven and never looked back. For me per-forming is a pleasure and I’ve always triedto improve my knowledge by attending theannual Grahamstown festival and otherevents.“At school I am part of the various ensem-

bles and we have performed at a number of

big events around the city.“In 2013, I won the award for best female

vocalist at the high school jam as well as theopen mic competition at GrandWest.“To get to this showcase in America is an

important step to get to a bigger audienceacross the world.”

Getting to America is going to cost moneyand the singer will be showcasing her talentto raise funds on Saturday.

An important essay competition hasbeen launched to celebrate the 60th an-niversary of the August 1956 Women’sMarch on the Union Buildings in Pre-toria in protest against the extensionof passes towomenby theapartheid re-gime.

While many women-focused cultur-al and political events are beingplanned to mark the contribution ofwomen to the struggle for liberation,the call for essays is a decisive way tobring the considered voices of men in-to themix. Themotivation for this ini-tiative is that ten years ago BeulahThumbadoo andAssociates, a publish-ing company inWoodstock, put togeth-er a book, “The Face of the Spirit, illu-minating a century of essays by SouthAfrican Women” for the Departmentof Arts and Culture.

The essays that best portray the per-sonal concerns, hopes and desires ofSouth Africanmen, and have the judg-es wanting every South African toread them in the interests of nationbuilding, will be shortlisted, and theintention is that a selection of the bestessayswill be published in a bookwiththe working title “Words left Unspok-en”.V For more information visit www.beulahthum-badoo.co.za.

EDUCATION

Many ways to learnThroughout your child’s school career, theyhave been tasked with growing amounts ofhomework, assignments and tests. Howev-er, as they proceed from grade to grade, thework pressure increases, potentially leav-ing your child feeling flustered.

Creating a schedule, together with yourchild, will help your child prioritise theirtime and create a sense of control. But whathappens when it’s time to buckle down tostudy, and the information doesn’t stick?

Conventional parrot-style studying mayleave your child feeling anxious or despond-ent. Each child is unique in their abilities,and study techniques don’t generally formpart of the school curriculum. This is a greatway for parents to offer assistance, and gothrough aprocess of elimination to establishthe most successful method.

A study has been completed to categorisefour learning styles or preferences whichcould help your child absorb and interpretinformation. This is called theVARKmodal-ities, which has been split to have a specificfocus on visual, aural, read andwrite or kin-aesthetic stimulation.

VisualVisually predominant study techniques

require the study areas be void of any visualdistractions. The only visually appealingmaterial should be study notes. Informationis best consumed through pictures, dia-grams and graphs. Utilise brightly colourstationery to accentuate key information.The use of online videos and flash cards aregreat tools too.

AuralA study space should be clear of auditory

distractions. These learners consume infor-mation best though spoken word format.Study groups work great if you are able to

find students with similar learning trends.Recorded discussions and lectures can be re-peated ina conducive environment andyourchild will create recitations and jingles ofkey information.

Read and WriteThis is probably themost traditional of all

study modes. From the classroom to home,your childwill constantly need to takenotes,re-read notes and hand outs along with ac-cessing additional information through var-ious mediums. The regurgitation of the in-formation will be interpreted and noted ina manner which is easier to consume.

KinaestheticThroughout your child’s life, they are

taught to sit still, be quiet, and face the front.However, young active minds are housed inyoung active bodies, which thrive on physi-cal activity. If your child chooses to lay onthe floor flicking their legs, or pace whenstudying let thembe.Themovement pacifiesthe body’s instinct to be active, freeing themind to absorb. This category of student isusually only able to study in short blocks oftime, with an accompanying distraction ofsqueezing a stress ball or listening to music.It’s not a study method encouraged, but ithas proven to be a successful method forsome children. A kinaesthetic learner likesto make use of examples and associationsrather thanplain facts and is further compli-mented through Aural study techniqueswith other scholars.

Visit http:/vark-learn.com to help you de-cipher a study mode and tools to best suityour child.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVET Col-lege. Look out for more study success strategies in Peo-ple’s Post in the last week of every month or go towww.falsebaycollege.co.za to find out more.

LETTERS

Investigatenumber ofpolice deathsThus far, more than 80 police officershave been killed this year.

This should elicit at least a commis-sion of enquiry by national government.The number of killings equates tonearly 20 per month or two per day.

The slaying of Detective LindekileSikade from Philippi East, Metro Policeofficer Simon Sigasa from Johannesburgand others, is strongly condemned, butwhat recourse do we have after thecondemnation of the dastardly murders?

If the perpetrators are targeting lawenforcement officers solely for theirfirearms in order to commit furtheracts of crime, wherein lies the solutionto end the heinous killings?

Unless this stark reality is addressedswiftly, less young men and women willenter the policing services, albeit itpolice or the municipal Metro Policeservices.

Statistics indicate that there is a hugeshortfall of police officers in the West-ern Cape.

I implore national police commission-er to initiate a national commission ofenquiry in respect of the atrocity tostop the killings, and rid civil society ofthe cowardly perpetrators and illegalunlicensed firearms.

MARK KLEINSCHMIDTKenwyn

Stand against killingsLast week we have once again beenshaken, shocked and rattled by thebrutal killing of one of our own, Detect-ive Constable Sekadi from the GrassyPark police service centre.

He was a valuable asset to our commu-nity, has been ruthless in bringinglaw-breakers before the court andexposing the dark side of the gangunderworld.

As a community we want to expressour condolences, and unequivocally statethat we do not condone the brutalslaying of our police officers, or anymember of society. As a community wevalue our police officers, in whatevercapacity they may serve us.

Once again it is a call to our leaders,those in authority – decision makers,politicians and government – to listenand respond to the cry of our people.Once again we see a system dismallyfailing us, where those who must upholdand protect society, fall victim to thevery system they must uphold.

Our justice system fails us time andtime again. Our police service is under-staffed, underresourced and its membersare under paid. Correctional servicesdelivers and feeds into our communitiesthe products of a failing prison system

(with exception to those who reshapedtheir lives), and when we add all up, theoutcome is that the innocent, the uprightand the community heroes are carriedaway in wooden boxes to their lastresting place.

Absent at the time of distress, tears,heartache and bereavement, are thepoliticians, the ministers and govern-ment.

As a community we have the power toinfluence decisions, budgets, systems,policies and ways of thinking. We mustget involved in community projects,programmes and initiatives. We mustbecome more vocal and speak outagainst unjust and ungodly systems,participate in forums, structures and allother platforms, and above all, hold ourleaders, MECs, councillors and serviceproviders accountable.

Let the death of our fallen heroes,children, elderly and youth not be invain. Let the spilled blood of the inno-cent speak to the righteous, cry out tothe heart of our community and let ourresponse be: “yes we will take up thecourse, yes we will unite against allforces of darkness and overcome”!

PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPParkwood

Who is behind the shootings?Regarding gangs on the Cape Flats:

I am always very saddened when Ihear of the innocent people being killedfor no reason by these sub-humans, andother innocents maimed for life. Thesegangsters have no understanding of thepain and suffering they deliberatelycause through their madness.

But my biggest concern is: Who issupplying them the ammunition?

We know that many firearms arestolen and many are even supplied byother sub-humans but where does theammunition come from?

Why do we not hear of that?Surely if the suppliers of ammunition

can be identified, prosecuted and sen-tenced to lengthy jail terms then perhapsthere should be a drop in the killings.When these sub-humans are arrestedwith the guns surely the police shouldbe able to extract that information of thesuppliers of the ammunition.

I ask: Can it be that some policemenare supplying them so we do not hearabout that?

Some of the residents around theprovince are still trying to re-

cover following a heavy storm lastFriday.The Cape storm which caused

havoc in the city saw thunder-showers with heavy rain and windup to 150 km/ph and widespreadfloods.Areas like Constantia, Wynberg,

Belhar and Fish Hoek saw treesuprooted and falling on buildingsand cars. Roofs where blown off inareas likeLavenderHill, HoutBay,Masiphumelele andRetreat. Flood-ed roads caused damage to proper-

ty in Kensington and Wetton.Fire and Rescue spokesperson,

Charlotte Powell, said the City’sRoads and Storm Water, Electrici-ty and Parks and Forest depart-ments were attending to the inci-dents.ER24’s Cape Town branches

were kept busy following the se-vere storm. Paramedics respondedto eight motor vehicle collisions,which were most likely caused byseverely flooded roads. They alsoassisted in blocking off floodedroads that posed a risk to commut-ers orwhere trees had fallen – suchas on the N1, where one fell acrossthe road, and Rhodes Avenue inConstantia,where a tree fell onto

an emergency service’s vehicle.ER24 urges commuters to take

extra care when driving on floodedroads:

. Slow down and make sure youhave your headlights switched on.

. Be careful of potholes thatmight have filledwithwaterwhichmake it difficult to spot. Do not at-tempt to cross lowwater bridges orareas that are severely flooded.

. Ensure your car’s windscreenwipers are in good working condi-tion and ensure all your lights areworking. Other vehicleswill find itdifficult to see you in misty condi-tions.

. Obey the rules of the road andbe patient.

Storm wreaks havoc

A heavy storm in the mother city left a trail of destruction in various areasin Cape Town. Pictures were taken in various areas around the city depict-ing the damage caused by the storm.

CT marathongoes for goldOrganisers of the Sanlam Cape Town

Marathonwill aim to takeanother stepforward this year in their attempt to

close the gap on theworld’s biggest road run-ning events.Set to be held for the third time since its

relaunch in 2014, the annual 42kmrace takesplace in the picturesqueMotherCity onSun-day 18 September, and retains IAAF SilverLabel status.As the only standardmarathon race in Af-

rica to be awarded Silver Label status, theCape TownMarathonwill continue to targetGoldLabel recognition.“Weareverypleasedwith the progresswehavemade over the lasttwo years, andwe are satisfied that wemadefurther advances by hosting another suc-cessful event last year.We have a vision andwill continue to focus on that by making therequired adjustments to ensureweare deliv-ering a world-class event across the board.This will assist in ensuring South Africanrunners have access to a world-class run-ning event organised by globally accreditedstandards, while offering incentives andmentoring for local runners,” says ElanaMeyer, race ambassador and former Olym-pic silver medallist.Taking the next step towards their long-

term goals, organisers aim to offer an en-

hanced runner and spectator experience atthe 2016 race. By providing spectator busesand zones, as well as a wide range of enter-tainment, the organisers again intend to in-volve local communities in the festivitiesaround the event. The weekend Spring roadrunning festival will also continue to em-power and reward local road running talent.The tremendous local and international

support for the 2015 event, which boastedone of the largest road race fields in thecountry, offers a clear indication of the im-pact the race has already made since it waslaunched. “The increase in popularity ofthis event over a short two-year periodshows the value it can offer people through-out Africa as a leading brand which pro-motes healthy living. The economic boostdelivered by the marathon through variouslocal industries, including travel and tour-ism, continues to make a valuable contribu-tion outside the world of sport,” says Gar-reth Bloor, Mayco member for economic de-velopment and tourism.The weekend festival, held over two days

with the marathon race taking centre stageon the Sunday, will again consist of a mara-thon, 10km PEACE Run/Walk, 4.2km FunRun and Peace Trail Runs.V For more details, visit www.capetownmarathon.com

It has been dubbed “The Super-7s SoccerMania Event” and come Friday eveningthe scene is set for an exciting three-day

football festival.The event promises to change the face of

the sport for the budding youth in identify-ing potential stars and developing talentacross the Cape Peninsula.

Thus the second annual showpiece of thehost club Salt River Blackpoolwill be playedon the Friday 29, Saturday 30April andMon-day 2 May at the Shelley Road sports com-plex in Salt River.

Tournament director Iqbal Kasker said atthe official launch and tournament drawlaunch held the Fountains Hotel that theplanning for the 2016 version of the tourna-ment had commenced a few weeks after lastyear’s event and that the success of lastyear’s tournament subsequently had to in-crease the entry of teams from 48 to 64.

“I want to thank all the participatingclubs. Last year we had 16 teams in each ofthe u.7, u.9 and u.11 divisions. Due to inter-est and demand for entry this year we see16 teams in u.8, 24 teams in u.10 and 24 teamsin the u.12 division.

“This growth in entry is phenomenal fromyear one and we, the organizers our thanksagain to the clubs for their interest. Thisyear the SRBFC Super 7s have attractedclubs from all over Cape Town, which in-cludes areas such as Camps Bay, Milnerton,

Atlantis, Somerset West, Khayelitsha, BlueDowns, Grassy Park and the City Bowl Dis-trict. Then professional clubs such as AjaxCape Town, Santos and Milano United willalso be participating this year.”Kasker also said a football tournament of

this size cannot do without sponsors and do-nors to assist the club in hosting a profes-sionally run tournament.He also acknowledged the presence of foot-

ball administrators from both Safa CapeTown and Cape District LFA present at thelaunchandexpressed theirblessingandsup-port for this tournament ismost appreciatedandwe hope to see you at the field to witnessour young players competing and enjoyingthe beautiful game.Once again a huge number of match offi-

cials will officiate to ensure the matches areplayed in a harmonious way whilst abidingto the tournament rules.Kasker also clarified that there were no

prize money involved for the winners, butthat the aim was to promote youth develop-ment in a fun environment.“The important thing that we want to pro-

mote is youth football and growth. There isno prize money,” he said.“Winners of the tournament will get a

floating trophy and medals. The runners upwill get medals, and the plate section will al-so get a trophy. Then there’s the individualawards like the player of the tournament,goalkeeper of the tournament and even thecoach of the tournament.”

BEN BURGER

For Tristan Brooks karate is a lifestylerather than a sport. Not surprisingly,the Grade 11 learner from Rondebosch

Boys’ High School is the number one fighterin his age group in the country.Tristan has been named the People’s Post

Let’s Play Sport Star of theMonth forMarchand April.He was nominated by his dad, Neil, who

says that Tristan is currently ranked num-ber one inSouthAfrica (u.17) both inKumite

(fighting) and Kata (the sequence of moves),the two disciplines of Kimura Shukokai Ka-rate.“He travelled to New York in 2012 repre-

senting South Africa in the KSI World Tour-nament and again in 2014, this time in SunCity. In July he will be travelling to Berlin,Germany for the KSI 2016 World Tourna-ment. In September last year Tristan com-peted against the best in Europe at the KSIEuropean Open Championships in Luzerne,Switzerland narrowly losing in the final,”says Neil.

According to Tristan he loves karate be-cause of the intense training. “Personally Ilove the physical side of the intense trainingschedules and competitions, but a high levelof mental discipline is required to carry outthis lifestyle. My Sensei calls us all crazy forwhatwe do and it is the sense of brotherhoodthat keeps me motivated. The bonds madewith other fighters worldwide is what I loveabout what this life has to offer.”He trains four times a week and loves be-

ing in the gym. “As well as my karate train-ing, which is a 90 minute class four days aweek, I try to include a boxing fitness classonce a week and I can always be found inthe gym during my spare time on the week-end. But I like to think that a fighter is al-ways training and bettering himself in ev-erything he does in every aspect of life. Ihave taken a recent liking to calisthenicswhich is pure bodyweight training requir-ing inhuman strength to push your body tonew levels.”Tristan says that he also loves the out-

doors. “I am a keen fisherman, with a pas-sion for the great outdoors and hope to oneday lead a life as close to nature as I can.There is hardly any formof training that canbeat a hike up the mountain with friends orfamily.”Forhim,karate is awayof life, rather than

a sport. “I guess that I have been involvedwith karate for most of my life, since agefive, and in all the years of training that hasdeveloped my passion for this martial art. Iplay rugby at school when I’m not preparingfor a karate competition, and also enjoy ath-letics, but we do not consider martial artsto be a sport, it is a way of life. All other vari-ous forms of exercise are all geared towardsmy life in karate.“Since a young age my order of priorities

has been my Christian faith followed by myfamily, second to those are school and thentraining. When you have your priorities setbefore you, everything else falls into place.

I strongly feel that once you have startedtraining in this form of martial arts, it is im-possible to stop. It is a lifetime journey ofconstantly pushing your body and mind toits limits and constantly striving for great-ness in everything you do.”Tristan says he looks up to his karate hero

Shihan (master instructor) Chris Thompsonwho holds an 8th Dan and is a World ChiefInstructor. “The control that he has over hisbody is unbelievable to witness and he alsois a perfect gentleman towards all. The timeand dedication he has shown towards Kimu-ra Shukokai Karate is unbelievable and Ihope to one day be half the man he is.”Tristan says that his participation in the

USA in 2012 was his first international tour-nament and it was a real eye-opener for him.“It made me realise what a journey I hadahead of myself if I wanted to be the best Icould. Seeinghowhardother countrieswerepushing, made me want to train even hard-er. Another highlight was the friends I havemade at these events. Meeting new peoplefromall over the globe is a truly phenomenalopportunity that karate has given me.”He says that if it was not for the support

ofhis parents, hewouldnothavemade it thisfar. “Without the support of my parents, es-pecially at a younger age, I don’t think thatI would still be doing karate today. Withouttheir support and without them constantlypushing me I would have never reached thelevel I am at today.”Tristan might even be regarded as Cape

Town’s own Karate Kid. He was part of ademo team for the launch of the remake ofthe original 1984moviewhenTheKarateKidwas launched in 2010 at Cavendish.V You can nominate any pupil between the ages of13 and 18 as the sport star of the month by sendingemail to [email protected].

Mr Miyagi would be very proud
