From Silvertown to silver screenEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Julian Cleophas has lived most of his lifein Silvertown, but due to a series of events,

now has a vested interest in the silverscreen.Silvertown became his home after living

in Kuils River for the first five years of hislife.After journeying through Turfhall Prima-

ry School and Belgravia High School, heeventually ended up studying a B.Sc courseat the University of the Western Cape.However, his path would take a dramatic

turn after enrolling at the Raymond Acker-man Academy (facilitated by the UCT Grad-uate School of Business) where he studiedentrepreneurship. While there, Cleophaswas introduced to the world of modelling,which afforded him the opportunity to trav-el the world while participating in variousfashion campaigns. The environmentopened up the door for him to pursue a ca-reer in film and production. He still pursuedalternative career paths while modelling.“After the entrepreneurship, I was pursu-

ing an educational initiative called i-Wizzkids whichwas a concept I was pushing thatfocused on an incentive-based online educa-tional platform for high school students tofind educational resources and providethem with a social networking platform toenhance academic achievement.”However, following a stint in Raizcorp’s

Pitch and Polish competition, Cleophaslanded up at Visual Impact. There he metUga Carlini, director of Alison.Alison is based on the true story of Alison

Botha, who was raped, stabbed and disem-bowelled – and survived to rebuild her lifeas an inspirational speaker. Botha’s storywas first transformed into a best-sellingbook “I Have Life” which has been translat-

ed into seven languages and a perennial onPenguin’s best seller list since 1998.According to Carlini, this is the first time

Alison has ever allowed cameras into herhome.Critics have described Alison as one of

South Africa’s most hotly-anticipated hy-brid films. “Deploying a bold mixture offairy tale idiom and unflinching frankness

to tell its story of survival, resilience and tri-umph, Alison has already been dubbed “astory of monsters, miracles and hope.”Locally it has been selected for the En-

counters International Documentary FilmFestival (Thursday 2 - Sunday 12 June) aswell as the Durban International Film Festi-val (Thursday 16 - Sunday 26 June). Alisonwill also be the opening film of the Mzanzi

Women’s Festival on Friday 5 August and isset for an exclusive Nu Metro Women’sMonth theatrical release on Friday 12 Au-gust.Cleophas says that being part of the

project has been nothing short of inspiring.“You are working on a project where the

person and the subject matter are about oneof South Africa’s most iconic female hero-ines, one of the biggest stories to hit SouthAfrica. For me, the experience has been in-spiring. To be able to get on the phone andspeaking to Alison and giving her a call tohear this person that sounds very optimis-tic. This person projects such a warm aura,so it is kind of hard to understand that some-one who had gone through such a horrificordeal is able to project such a sense of hu-manity and happiness and optimism.”He says that the entire experience was al-

so a learning one, because from a modellingand acting perspective, he only got to see oneside to the entire process, but since he hasbeen at Visual Impact and involved with theAlison project, it became more specific towhat he was promoting.“You have to attach an identity behind the

brand. There has got to be a feeling with re-gard to how this specific film is dealt with.Youhaveapersonwho is ahero tomanypeo-ple, who is this element of hope, a symbolof ‘I can’. You know, where things might notbe the best, but it is okay.”A special, free, filmmakers in conversa-

tion eventwith director Uga Carlini andAli-sonwill behostedonSaturday4Juneat 10:00at the Encounters Film Festival at the V&AWaterfront Cinema Nouveau. This sessionexplores the complex relationship betweenfilmmakers and their subjects – developingtrust, negotiating access and walking thefine line between the public and the private.V For more information about the movie, visit www.ali-sonthemovie.com.

Julian Cleophas is the campaign producer for an upcoming film entitled Alison: The Movie,which will make its international debut at the Encounters Film Festival in June. The movie isdirected by Uga Carlini.

In the first year they started to puttheir plans in place. Parents weregiven incentives to start taking aninterest in the school and day tripswere organised for the children toshow them life beyond their farmenvironment.One of the highlights of this part-

nershipwas creating a school read-iness and literacy programme.They have organised volunteersfrom the community and sur-roundingareaswhogive their timeto ensure the improvement of theliteracy skills at the school.The success of the partnership

between Perivale Primary inGrassy Park and Direct Axisis isalso in the book with principalDenzil van Graan pointing out thefar-reaching influences of the part-nership. The school faced a num-ber of issues related to drug and al-cohol abuse in the surrounding ar-ea, poor academic results andunpaid school fees.Maria Hill, the business partner,

explains howher approach to help-

ing was three-pronged: listening,giving hope, and steering.Van Graan says the results were

nothing less than remarkable.“The school has tuned itselfaround on so many fronts. Attend-ance has improved dramaticallyand ourGrade 7’s are nowbeing ac-cepted at high performing schools.We’ve also introduced more extra-mural activities and this has em-powered our learners.”McMillan explains there is a di-

rect correlation between goodschool leadership and educationaloutcomes. “Most principals havenot been equipped with the skillsand knowledge for their criticallyimportant leadership role.“Partners for Possibility is spe-

cifically designed to address thiswhere principals are partnered ina co-action and co-learning part-nership with business leaders whobring their knowledge and skillsabout change leadership to theschool.”V Visit www.pfp4sa.org

After nearly three decades, LukeTownsend, the principal librar-

ian at City of Cape Town’s Wyn-berg Library, will retire at the endof May and dance to a differenttune.A love of reading and music in-

spired him to become a librarianand it’s a job he loathes to leave be-hind. “I started working for City li-braries in 1984 at the RondeboschLibrary. I worked at several librar-ies over the next few years until Iarrived atWynbergLibrary in 1986where I worked in the Music De-partment until 1989,” he says.For the next few years he lived

in Amsterdam and was re-em-ployed at the Wynberg Library inJuly 1994.It’s his passion for music that

makes it the highlight of Towns-end’s job. “I enjoy developing thecollection, the cataloguing anddealingwithmusic. I also enjoy thereference queries in general, butparticularly the music relatedsearches,” he says.Townsend says the Music and

Art Department at Wynberg Li-brary feels like his baby. “The CDand LP collections are second tonone. In fact, Wynberg Library ap-pears to be the only library inSouth Africa with an intact LPrecord collection. The DVD collec-tion is still in its infancy, but hasmany high-quality feature moviesand documentaries.”Music has also sparked some in-

teresting enquiries. “The funniestquery I ever hadwas froman elder-ly gentlemanwho askedmewheth-er we had any recordings by “Sul-tana”. He was sent by his daughter

to get a CD by Santana.”Other highlights of his time at

Wynberg Library include the pro-active maintenance project in 2014which saw the interior of the li-brary completely rearranged andthe building made disabled-friend-ly.Townsend says that although

people are reading less, accordingto membership statistics WynbergLibrary has 8900 patrons.“Most people do not read printed

materials anymore and are mov-ing more and more towards digitalmedia such as the internet, whichmeans their reading habits arehaphazard and they are less likelyto develop crucial analytical skills.Few people these days have the at-tention span necessary in order to

cope with reading an entire book,”he says.The children’s librarians at

Wynberg Library havemany ongo-ing programmes including vibrantpram jams and pyjama jams thatare becoming increasingly popu-lar. “One of themost effectivewaysof encouraging children to read isto expose them to audio books byhigh quality readers. This can in-stil a love of language and developanalytical understanding. Theword stimulates the imagination.”When he closes this chapter on

his life, Townsendplans toplay lotsof music. “I really want to re-readHeart of darkness by Joseph Con-rad as well as The sun also rises byErnest Hemingway. But beautifulby Geoff Dyer is a book I’ve had onmy shelves at home for years butnever read, so that’s next on mylist,” Townsend says.Belinda Walker, City Mayoral

Committee member for communi-ty services and special projects,commended Townsend for hisyears of service. “Themusic collec-tion at Wynberg Library is one ofthe most extensive in the country.Many in the industryknowthat it’sthe place to find that rare record-ing you may be looking for and it’sdue to Luke’s dedication and pas-sion. “Librarians have become anintegral part of our communities.They are more than just the peoplewho check out books and havehelped to turn our libraries intosafe, educational spaces and recre-ational hubs. While we are sad tosee him go, we commend Luke forhis dedication and wish him wellon this new journey,” saysWalker.

Au revior to librarian

Luke Townsend, principal librarian atWynberg Library, will be retiring atthe end of May after nearly 30years of service.

Thursday for the annual Psychology Festi-val of Learning.

With the theme of Inspiring Transforma-tion it will be hosted by the South AfricanCollege of Applied Psychology (Sacap) attheir Cape Town campus on Thursday 26and Friday 27 May.

The organisation is mobilised by a visionof an empowered, caring society of integrat-ed individuals and believes that in order toaddress the harsh realities that exist withinSouth Africa we need to train an inspiredworkforce of counsellors, psychologists,coaches and leaders.

This festival is also about all the success

stories and ideas that have and are still in-spiring transformation in our communi-ties, families and workplaces. “A process ofdefined and radical change is how some de-fine “transformation”,” says Lance Katz,CEO of Sacap.

“Through the Festival of Learning wedon’t just want to share stories about trans-formation, we want to inspire South Afri-cans to identifywhere change is needed andto be part of the transformation process.”

With over 50 guest speakers the festivaloffers a wide range of 1-hour talks.

TheCapeTownCampus is on the 1stFloorSunclare Building, 21 Dreyer Street, Clare-mont.

Tickets for the Psychology Festival ofLearning as well as the programme withspeakers details and topics are available onthe website: www.psychologyfestival.co.za.

Catch all thecountry classicsWith more than 40 years in the local

entertainment industry under hisbelt, DennisEast is truly one of SouthAf-rica’s living legends.In fact, the “Dammit I Love You” sing-

er from Harfield Village will be just oneof the legends on stage for this year’sBakgat Country Opskop at the Grand-West Grand Arena on Sunday 5 Junefrom 15:00. He’ll be joined by Bobby An-gel – who celebrates his 80th birthdaythis year, Tommy Oliver, Lance James,Barbara Ray, Steve Hofmeyr and Rock-ing Horse along with Country favouriteManie Jackson and up-and-coming art-ists Pieter Mohr and Dee-Dee.Dennismakes his return to theBakgat

CountryOpskop stage this year afterhav-ing last performed at the concert in 2014.He promises to perform his biggest hitslike “Take my Heart”, “Cry to me” and“AMillion Drums”, adding: “All of themare going to have a lekker country feel.”Dennis won’t just be performing at the

concert though; he’s also been helpingChristo Booyens from Bakgat Promo-tions to put the show together. The twohave been working together for years.Dennis performed at Christo’s CountryLegends show after meeting him on theToeka 2 tour and says he’s looking for-ward to the production they’ll be pre-senting in June.“This kind of showdeserves a big audi-

ence,” he says. “You’ve got to give peoplewhat they want and there isn’t enoughof this.”As a songwriter,musician andproduc-

er, Dennis knows a thing or two aboutwhat music fans want. He’s currentlybusy producing his seventh album forManie Jackson and says with pride: “Allof his albums have achieved gold status,with a number of them even going plati-num.”When he isn’t busy in his Blue View

Music studio, Dennis is still very busywith live work. “I’m pretty busy, rightaround the country, for which I’m verygrateful.”Dennis has been making music since

the early 70s. He released his first ofmany hits in 1974 before joining the rockgroupStingray in the late 70s. Fans of theband may be excited to hear that theremay be a possible revival show on thecards for Stingray in the future.Whenhe touredwithSteveHofmeyr in

2006 forToeka 2, people started recognis-ing him for his Creedence ClearwaterRevival medley. The medley has nowevolved into an 18 minute long versioncalled “Creedence Non-Stop”, whichhe’ll be releasing on the new album he’sworking on.While the album will only be released

around August, Dennis has an idea ofwhat he’d like to call it: Still Breathing.“Even if it is with an oxygen tank and

paramedics,” he jokes.On a more serious note, Dennis says

he still has lots of energy when it comesto his live performances. “I still lovecharging into the audience. My only re-quest for live shows is for a wireless micso I can leave the stage. I can’t just standstill.”Dennis says he’s crazy about the ener-

gy of music and loves the people he getsto work with, especially the artists he’llbe joining at this year’s Bakgat CountryOpskop. “I think it’s a very strong line-up…. fromManie, to Steve, to TommyOl-iver who’s never performed at the con-cert before.”Then of course there are, as Dennis

puts it, the old country favourites andsome new faces.V Tickets for this year’s Bakgat Country Opskopat GrandWest’s Grand Arena from 15:00 on Sun-day 5 June cost between R135 and R175 from Com-puticket with discounts available for children andblock bookings.

Plastic is inevitable. It’s not the enemy –we are.

World renowned Belgian artist WilliamSweetlove reckons a world without plasticis no longer possible.

“The problem isn’t the plastic itself, butthe fact that people burn it and throw it intothe sea,” he says.

He brings this conservation messagehome in a whimsical yet compelling exhibi-tion which opened at the Kirstenbosch Na-tional Botanical Garden on Wednesday 11May. Labelled “WaterWars”, the exhibitiontells the story of mankind’s war with water.

By 2025, one in three people will live withabsolute water scarcity, according to thefood and agriculture organisation of theUnited Nations.

“Yet, the excesses of humanity are threat-ening our natural resources,” he says.

Sweetlove’s sculptures are made from re-cycled plastic from landfills and transformordinary animals and objects into iconicfigures. His unique works of art have chal-lenged people to become environmentalthinkers for close to 50 years through morethan 600 exhibitions worldwide.

It is not difficult to see why.The pieces are bold and playful, but defi-

nitely make you think. More than 60 red,black and white penguins positioned orrather installed in the Vlei Garden, for ex-ample, draw the attention to the impendingshortage of clean drinking water. “They

have water bottles tied to their backs sug-gesting a survival measure, and face themountain in an almost pleading fashion –pleading for fresh water.”

At the Old Dam, the Fisherman-huntersculpture speaks to our dwindling ocean re-sources. “In order for the fisherman to sur-vive, he eats less and therefore has shrunk.As there are no fish left in the ocean, he hasnow become a hunter.”

In addition to his solo work sculpture,Sweetlove has worked collaboratively withother artists for more than 20 years as amember of the Cracking Art Group, found-ed in 1983 in northern Italy. Their collectivework calls attention to environmental andsocial issues.

One such poignant installation shows theplight of the turtles in Venice as they try toescape the canals that keep them fromreaching the ocean.

The founder of the Cape Town Art Agen-cy, Dirk Durnez, who collaborated withSweetlove and South African National Bio-diversity Institute (Sanbi) on the exhibi-tion, says the exhibition aims to create achange of mindset about conservation – es-pecially in young people.

The exhibition will continue at Kirsten-bosch until Saturday11 June, after which itwill journey through South Africa, endingin Pretoria.

Karl Stouthuysen, Belgian consul to CapeTown, officiated the exhibition. He said ini-tiatives like this stress the need for ecologi-cal awareness. “Water is most precious forall creatures great and small.”

EDUCATION

Mind thegap yearMidyear exams are underway, and yourmatric scholar should be sharing their as-pirational plans. Do they want to pursuefurther education, join the working worldor a thought more scary… take a gap year?Parents often fear that their childmay be

left behind, sleep the whole day and partyall night; or, that they lose momentum andnever go back to study.Take a look at the pro’s and cons of a gap

year. Start by asking them a simple ques-tion: “what do you want to achieve by tak-ing a gap year?”Be open minded to the possibility that

your child is exhausted and uninspired aft-er 13 years of schooling. Your child maysimply be looking for opportunities to trav-el or grow their knowledge base throughwork experience. Perhaps they have plansto focus on other aspects of their personaldevelopment thoughcommunityworkor todiscover their drivingpassion.Your child’shappiness is as important as their inde-pendence.Another challenge to consider is the fear

of failure and separation from circles theyhavebecomesubconsciouslydependent on.Your child could be unable to see the impli-cations of their decisions made in fear ofbeing ostracised or rejected. Be aware ofthis emotional challenge and try seekingopportunities to expose themtonewexperi-ences, which will buffer their resilience tochange. Being able to adapt to a changingenvironment will help them cope through-out life’s curve balls.Keep in mind that children are encour-

aged to start thinking and making deci-sions for themselves earlier in life, versesdays when teenagers were forced to leaveschool early to seek employment. If yourchild is able to display a clear plan ofgrowth, even if just thoughmenial employ-ment opportunities, it might help themma-ture enough to realise that you can’t drivea Ferrari or find a solution to solve worldhunger without proper further education.Being able to take a gap year may be theone thing to help your child realise how for-tunate and necessary a higher education isto achieve your dreams.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVETCollege.

Remove artto restoreserenityI was at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gar-dens this morning (Tuesday 17 May)and horrified to see some “artwork”added to the beautiful little pool andwooden bridge, destroying the rusticpeace of this scene.This is a total travesty of everything

Kirstenbosch stands for – naturalbeauty, the one place one can viewnature in safety and quiet.William Sweet Love should remove

his stuff (“Water Wars”) and restorethis little corner of serenity. If he wantsa platform for his work then he shouldbuild his own little pool and put it inan exhibition hall of art – it is certainlyout of place where it destroys thenatural beauty. This is a world heritagesite that attracts thousands of visitorsfrom overseas..Thank goodness that I got a beautiful

photo of the pool and rustic bridge lastweek – now the scene is spoilt with abright blue statue and lots of red blobs(frogs? turtles?) floating in the water.Shame on you Kirstenbosch!There is also a huge pile of water

bottles on display in the courtyard asone enters at the bottom gate – a hugerectangle stacked and on top of it(unbelievable!) a huge post box red dogwith running shoes on (meaning?) – andin contrast just further along by thebeautiful pond water feature a wonder-ful display of big Bonsai trees, some 150years old – how incongruous is that!That is the sort of display the visitorshould be met with on entering theGardens. What does one come toKirstenbosch for – more garish stuffthat one finds all over cities? Surely onecomes to Kirstenbosch for naturalbeauty, peace and serenity?I spoke to other people staring in

disbelief at the scene and they were alsoshocked at this contravention of thevery thing Kirstenbosch Gardens standsfor.There is not even a bin on the

premises because it would upset theaesthetic beauty of the scenery, andnow this? What are the people whomake the decisions thinking?

Have your say onTafelberg saleThere has been a great deal of publicityaround the proposed sale by the WesternCape Government of the Tafelberg SchoolProperty on Main Road, Sea Point.The Phyllis Jowell Jewish Day School

(PJJDS), a non-profit community school,was selected as the winning bidder forthe purchase in November last year.PJJDS submitted its bid in terms of apublic tender and was selected based onthe merits of its bid.Earlier this year various groups began

a protested the sale. Their main conten-tion is that Province should se this landfor affordable housing solutions.In response and based on a negotiated

court order, the Western Cape Govern-ment has now re-advertised the proposeddisposal for comment from the public.This process is not only for those

opposed to the sale but also those insupport. It is important the publicunderstand the many benefits the salewill bring.Some of these benefits include:. Proactively breathing fresh life into

the Tafelberg School Property which hasbeen vacant and derelict for a number ofyears;

. Restoring and revitalising the ne-glected historic school building for re-useas a non-profit community school;

. Preserving and enhancing themagnificent heritage aspects of theproperty;

. Addressing the critical shortage ofspace for independent and communityschool facilities for the growing demandon the Atlantic Seaboard. Tafelberg isone of the few, if not only, remainingavailable and appropriately zoned sitesfor a school in the area;

. Attracting further investment intothe Sea Point area with consequentemployment creation and economicgrowth benefits in the area;

. Unlocking value for the Provincefrom the Tafelberg School Property at apremium price based on high land values

in the area. These proceeds can beapplied by Province to fund socialdelivery initiatives in the Province andthe city (including possibly into the areaof affordable housing). Similarly for theCity in terms of an enhanced rates base;

. Creating educational, cultural andrecreational facilities for the benefit ofthe community and the broader base ofSea Point residents and visitors to thearea;PJJDS has set up an online petition to

encourage and facilitate the public tovoice their support.The public can go online and sign our

petition which we will submit to Prov-ince as part of the public commentprocess. Alternatively people can writedirectly to Province with their comments.We do believe that access to affordable

housing in the city is critical in buildinga successful city that provides opportuni-ties for all of its citizens and whichfosters integration and social cohesion.However we are led to understand that,for a variety of reasons, not least thehigh land value and also the heritageaspects of the site, the Tafelberg SchoolProperty is not well suited for affordablehousing and that other city-wide solu-tions are available and would be moreoptimal. This is ultimately for Provinceto decide.We believe that the sale of the Tafel-

berg School Property to PJJDS is awin-win for all stakeholders includingthose that want to see value unlocked tofund social delivery in the cityTo participate in the online petition,

visit www.petitions24.com/sup-port_sale_of_tafelberg_to_pjjdsTo submit a public comment directly to

the Western Cape Government, write tothe Chief Director: Immovable AssetManagement, 4th Floor, 9 Dorp Street,Cape Town 8001 not later than Friday 3June.

Talent and tunes for tennis developmentGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Tennis development in the Western Capeis getting tuned in with some support

from top talents.Empext and WP Tennis will be hosting a

gala jazz fundraiser at the Artscape OperaHouse on Saturday 18 June starting at 18:00.One of the organisers, Joey Fourie, ex-

plains that this initiative has been put inplace to address social change in poorercommunities in the metro (and elsewhere)through sport – in particular tennis.“We understand that many communities

face pressing problems and that interven-tions that talkmore substantially to povertyalleviation, education and job creationmight be more needed.”

The project has started with tennis be-cause it presents a fantastic lifelong sportoption and vehicle for imparting life skills.“It also presents a huge development oppor-tunity because tennis structures in mostcommunities have collapsed. Today, it costsa child R15 000 per year (at the entry level)to learn to play tennis as compared to R500to R2500 per year to play cricket, because theonly coaching programmes in existence areprivate programmes.”V For more information call Joey on 084 880 7012 oremail [email protected]. Tickets are R195.

WIN! WIN! WIN!V Ten readers can each win double tickets to the show.SMS the word “tennis” followed by your name andcontact details to 45527 before 12:00 on Friday 3 Juneto enter. SMSes cost R1.50.

Milano United have missedthe chance to gain promo-tion from the National First

Division (NFD) after being held toa 1-1 draw in their final leaguematch against Baroka FC.Milano needed to beat Baroka

and hope results elsewhere wenttheirway in order to sneak into thepromotion playoffs for a spot in thePremier Soccer League (PSL) nextseason. They seemed to have aidedtheir cause after Mzwanele Ma-hashe opened the scoring to givethe lead, which they carriedthrough to half-time. However,they would be pegged back by Bar-oka’s ThabisoKutumela to give thehosts a valuable point which sawthem claim the NFD title and gainautomatic promotion.

The result meant that MilanoUnited finished sixth on the table,five points from a potential thirdplace finish, which would haveseen them qualify for the playoffs.In other results on Sunday, San-

tos, already assured ofNFDsurviv-al, succumbed to a spirited FCCape Town at Athlone Stadium,while Cape Town All Stars couldnot provide Milano with a much-needed favour when they lost toMbombela United at the Kanyama-zane Stadium.Other results from the final

day of the NFD:Witbank Spurs 5-1 Moroka Swal-

Football3 initiative lays down rootsJOSEPH PILLAY

Non-governmental organisationOasis have introduced a footballprogram, called football3, to thecommunities around their organi-sation’s base in Schaapkraal withthemain focus being to educate theyouth in the skills of fair play andrespect using football as a tool tocarry over the message.It was introduced at the youth

centres within the communities tofocus on scholars after school, whouse the centre on a regular basis.Since its origins in Medellin, Co-lombia, football3 has been furtherdeveloped by the “streetfootball-world” network members aroundthe world into a comprehensivemethodology to address a range ofsocial topics, such as gender equal-ity, health and peace building.According to Clifford Martinus,

founder and chairperson of Oasis’Reach For Your Dreams, football3empowers young people to take re-sponsibility for their actions andtreat others fairly.The programme is named after

its “threehalves” – apre-matchdis-cussion, football game, and postmatch discussion.The groundbreaking initiative

incorporates key life lessons intoevery match. In mixed-genderteams, players collectively decideon the rules before the game.Following thematch, they reflect

on their behaviour and the behav-iour of their opponents, withpoints awarded for goals as well asfor fair play. As football3 is playedwithout referees, players mustlearn how to resolve conflictsthemselves through dialogue andcompromise.Amediator is appointed for each

match, but is not actively involvedthe actual game itself. He or sheconducts the pre- and post-matchdiscussions and delivers a verdictif there is any decision which can-not be resolved. All other decisionsare decided by the participating

players, who judge and awardpoints for their opponents level offair play and adherence to the setout rules.In 2015, Oasis rolled out this pro-

gram into organised football at ajunior level, focusing on youth un-der theageof ten.Afterdiscussionswith the South Peninsula LocalFootball Association (LFA), it wasdecided to introduce the football3concept and methodology to theyoungsters of the local clubs.After a successful launch and ac-

ceptance of this program, it was re-introduced at the LFA level withthe vision of spreading it to otherLFA’s in Cape Town and eventual-ly across the country.Meanwhile, Oasis is sending a

delegation to streetfootballworldFestival16 in Lyon. The festival isscheduled to take place from Fri-day 1 July to Thursday 7 July.There will be six members of the

delegation; a delegation leader, ayouth leader and four players. Theparty is also split evenly betweenmales and females to promote gen-der equality and to show solidarity

across the globe. Once the mem-bers are in France at the festival,they will participate in variousworkshops, meet new friends andplay in the football3 tournament.Eugene Minords and Martine

Samuels have been selected to go toLyon, France as the Oasis delega-tion and youth leaders respective-ly. Minords is originally fromBon-teheuwel and now lives at Oasis fa-cility in Schaapkraal. He wasselected to lead this group of chil-dren based on his personal growthachieved. He has being involvedwith anti-social activity to now be-ing a SAFA D-license coach and isa living example of what happenswhen you say “no” to doing wrong.Samuels has proven beyond

doubt that it does notmatterwhereyou come from but where you areheading in life. She was selectedas the youth leader andwill also beattending the Festival16 in Francewith Eugene and four other youthsfrom the programme.The Homeless World Cup is next

in line and takes place from Sun-day 10 July to Saturday 16 July.
