Hilton Murray and James Chevallier, running partners to Anita Engelbrecht and Chaeli Mycroftwill be taking part in this year’s Comrades marathon which has allowed wheelchair assistedpeople for the very first time.

PLUMSTEAD

Sportinghistory inthe makingTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Chaeli Sports and Recreation Club(CSRC) in Plumstead is over the moonbecause their wheelchair assisted ac-

tivists will be participating in the 2016 Com-radesmarathon inDurban later nextmonth.Chaeli Mycroft (21) from and Anita Engel-

brecht (22) will be the first wheelchair ath-letes ever to participate in the ComradesMarathon.The 91st edition of the world’s biggest and

oldest ultra-marathon will take place onSunday 29 May. They will be assisted bytheir running partners on the 89km uphillrun from Pietermaritzburg to Durban.These two dynamic ability activists chal-lenged the Comrades Marathon rule (CMA)that stated “no wheelchairs or mechanicalaids” would be allowed entry into the Com-rades.Mycroft, an ability activist and adventur-

er who was born with cerebral palsy, is aspastic quadriplegic and has a degenerativeneuropathy. She is currently studying for anhonours degree in social policy andmanage-ment at the University of Cape Town. My-croft says it is great to see CMA and ASAupholding the rights providedbySouthAfri-ca’s constitution. “People with disabilitiesare often sidelined by society, and this is an

opportunity to show that we are active andcapable members of our communities.”Engelbrecht, who is an ability activist, cy-

clist and runner,was bornwith cerebral pal-sy and is a spastic diplegic. She is in herthird year doing her Bachelor in Commercedegree at Stellenbosch University. Engel-brecht says: “Only thosewho attempt the ab-surd can achieve the impossible.”Zelda Mycroft, the CSRC chief executive

officer, says this is history in the making.“This is great news. We couldn’t be happier.This paves the way for more great things.The CSRC and Chaeli Campaign look for-ward to partnering CMA and ASA in grow-ing more opportunities for wheelchair ath-letes to enter the mainstreammarathon andultra-marathon arenas to continue growingawareness that ability comes in all shapesand forms. Inclusive sport inspires and isbeneficial to all who practise it as well as thespectators and administrators who cheer onour brave athletes.”Though today theyhave something to cele-

brate, it wasn’t a walk in the park to havethese two included in the marathon. Thisruling that they fought so hard for, startedwith engagement with CMA in February.After hitting a hard rock and being denied,they never gave up. They fought harder andeven had a petition going.V Continued on page 2.

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

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

lenge, many will trace the footsteps oftheir ancestors and former slaves.

This year’s Slave Route Challenge, ofwhich People’s Post is a media sponsor,will see participants giving honour to in-dividual slaves of the Cape’s past.

Each runner will carry one of the 8000names of slaves who appear on a “columnofmemory” at the Iziko Slave Lodge in thecity centre (“Slave names give runnerswings”, People’s Post, 15 March) duringthe race on Sunday 8 May.The race route takes runners past sever-

al historically significant landmarks,such as theCastle ofGoodHope,GrandPa-rade, the Whipping Post, Old SlaveChurch, the Slave Tree Plaque and the Izi-ko Slave Lodge.

Life as a slaveMooi Angela from Bengal, also known

asAnsla vanBengalen, was brought to theCape before the large-sale importation ofslaves and before the Slave Lodge waseven built.She was brought to the Cape by a Dutch

East Indian official, Pieter Kemp, who

bought her when stationed in the Batavi-an Republic.

Returning from the Netherlands hebrought Angela with him and sold her inCape Town to Jan van Riebeeck in 1655.He in turn sold her to AbrahamGabbema,the second-in-command at the Cape, re-counts Angela’s descendent, Lucy Centli-vres.

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

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

She was granted a plot in what is nowCastle Street, and would have traversedmany of the streets along which the SlaveRoute Challenge passes.She became a successful farmer and

helpedher sonson their farms in theDrak-

enstein area. “By the time she died shewas very well off and her daughter, Annade Koning, 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 mar-

ried first, in 1669 she married ArnoldusWillemsz Basson, the founding father ofall the Bassons in SouthAfrica andCentli-vres’ 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

to beautiful, courageous Angela, whodidn’t allow horrendous circumstances toget her down,” she says.Although Centlivres is not able to run

the route herself, it warms her to thinkthat her ancestors have not been forgot-ten.

“If someone would run the Slave Routein honour of Angela, I would be thrilled.My ancestors’ histories have enriched mylife and given me a better understandingof the history of my country and themanycolourful personalities in it.”V Visit www.iamrunningfor.co.za.

A 68-year-oldman escaped serious injury aft-er hewas stabbedathishomeonSeatonRoadin Southfield last Wednesday.

ER24 paramedics arrived at the residenceat 03:00 that morning where they were ush-ered into the lounge and to the patient.

Making theannouncement lastweek,Macdo-nald Chitja, the CMA chairperson, said CMAhas noted and is in the process of implement-ingadirective fromASAthat twowheelchairassisted participants be permitted to partici-pate in the 2016 Comrades Marathon.Chitja added it was important to note that

the two athletes (Mycroft and Engelbrecht)have complied with the standard qualifyingtimes and entry requirements for the race,and that no special provision has been madefor them in this respect, norwill they receiveany special treatment as bona fide partici-pants in the race.Chitja reiterated that the safety of all Com-

rades runners is the CMA’s biggest priority.“As organisers our primary concern is the

safety of all participants and as a matter ofurgency we will be consulting with variousrole-players in a process of reassessing ourmedical, technical, safety and security andlogistical arrangements to determine possi-ble impacts and necessary adjustmentswhich we may need to implement in orderto ensure there is no compromise to the well-being of all participants.”Mycroft and Engelbretch qualified for the

event in the Red Hill marathon earlier thisyear and they knew from there a lot moregood things will follow.

Car guards noweasily recognisedTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Hout Bay residents have welcomed theregistered and official car guards that

are working in their area to look after carsand be the eyes and ears for police.

With over 49 of them – both male and fe-male – ‘planted’ all around Hout Bay, no-onecan miss them with their gear of a commu-nity vest, clearly marked ‘crime preven-tion’, as well as a hat and an identity cardwith their picture and name.

Over a period of a month the local commu-nity policing forum (CPF) and CommunityCrime Prevention (CCP) went out to thestreets and collected the data of people whowere already working as car guards in thearea.

They have been screened by police andapproved by the CPF after undergoing athorough criminal check including havinghad their finger prints taken. Followingthis initiative, crime in the area – especiallytheft out of motor vehicles and break-ins –have decreased tremendously.

What pushed this initiative even furtherwas the fact that illegal car guards were rob-bing people, harassing them and demand-ing money, says CCP director Keri Cross.

Car guards were also fighting for spots,but now that they are registered it is easyto regulate them and know exactly who isworking where, she says.

“People feel much safer now. They can goabout their business freely knowing thatthey left someone who has been verified inthat spot. We are happy for the work thathas been done and because we are a non-profit organisation we help with what wecan, and for now it is the uniforms thatmakes it easy to distinguish them.”

“In the past anyone could just got into ashop and get a vest, and it was causing a lotof problems for us, but now things willchange.”

Though the car guards work without pay

they depend on the generosity of people thatthey help. “We can’t afford to pay them aswe are an NPO. We spent more than R20 000to get them their gear. We are trying to ap-proach business people that have seen theirwork and maybe we can get something forthem, but that is not guaranteed.”

Cross says with winter approaching theirwish is to get the car guards raincoats andthey are calling on anyone who is willingto step in and help. “We believe these guysare doing a fantastic job in being the eyesand the ears of the community, and we canonly help them by improving their workingconditions.”

Also on the pipeline for the car guards isto have them skilled in basic South Africansecurity guard services, Cross says.

People who would like to donate canemail [email protected] or call KeriCross on 072 494 4974.

Desmond Carelse, one of the newly registeredCommunity Crime Prevention car guards inHout Bay, shows off his new uniform thatwill help residents to easily recognise thelegal car guards in their area.

‘Jesus Runner’ onway to JerusalemTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Andrew Hoffman (68) fromWynberg saysrunning has given him hope to live

again.He was given only three years after his

liver and other organs were damaged be-cause of alcohol.Dubbed the Jesus Runner, Andrew has

lived three more decades to tell his story.At the age of 38, he was told he only had

three years to live. The father of two sayshis darkest moment was when he was lyinghopelessly in hospital.“I was told of my condition. It was terri-

ble. I was so helpless and didn’t know whatto do.”After being told hewould be dead in three

years, he saw no point of staying in hospitaland discharged himself.“I went straight to the bar to get a drink,”

he remembers. “I was given a death sen-tence. I was hopeless. There was nothing tolive for, so I just continued to drink becauseI was going to die anyway. I could feel theeffects of the alcohol, but I was in denial.Even my hands where cramping.”Being a fit and active person in his youth

and working in the navy, Andrew neverthought that drinking a lotwould affect himthat much.He started drinking when he was 18.As time went by he started drinking

stronger liquor. “When I started drinkingI was doing well. I though drinking didn’taffect me. We drank all the time. It was asocial thing with my friends. Little did weknow that we were killing ourselves.“When you weren’t out drinking, you felt

lonely. To make it even worse they wouldbet who would drink the most and whowould be the last man standing. I alwayswanted to perform better than everyoneelse, so I drank a lot. I was always the lastman standing after everyone else haspassed out,” he says.Hoffman says his mother was distraught.“At thatmoment I didn’t know howmuch

mymotherwas praying forme. I believeherprayers were a turning point in my life.”He vividly remembers how his mom

loved him and prayed for him all the time.Before her death she gave him a Bible andtold him not to open it until she had died.“I did as I was told. I took it and placed

it on the top of my wardrobe and forgotabout it. One day it was a little cold, so I

looked for a blanket. As I pulled out theblanket, theBible fell off. I opened it and sawhowmymother wrote in the scriptures andprayed for me. I sawmy whole life in there,and from that moment I told myself neverwill I go back to the bottle again.“To stop the drinking I started running,

and prayed. It wasn’t easy, but with time Imanaged to stop drinking completely. Nowmy mission is to spread the word of Godthrough running and telling my story.”Hehashis eyeonJerusalemwherehewill

runwith aunity flag.His friends and familyare helping him raise the R35 000 that heneeds, but he still needs more.“I’m grateful for the support. I don’t have

enough funds yet to determine when I willbe going, but I will as soon as I have enoughmoney. I want to spread the Word and givehope to others that alcohol is not the solu-tion and you can turn your life around.”

Andrew Hoffman says running keeps himaway from the bottle and he is glad tospread the message of God through hisrunning and telling his life story so thatother people can make wiser choices.

The case of Nahla the cat that was shot ina communal garden has been postponedagain toMonday 16May atWynbergMagis-trate’s court last Tuesday.Antonie Gericke, the neighbour accused

of shooting her,made a brief appearance be-fore the defence lawyer asked the magis-trate if they could postpone the case to allowhim the time to read through it. He alsoasked the magistrate to allow for an out of

court settlement.“My client and I will talk to the complain-

ant in a meeting that will be facilitated bya senior prosecutor and try to resolve thematter put before the court. If we can’t geta resolution, there will be a plea bargain,”he said.However, animal lovers who have attend-

ed every single court appearance so far aredispleased. They say, as Nahla has to livewith a pellet in her bodywhilst the case getspostponed, they want to see the end of thiscase and theywill continue to come to court.

Cat shooting case postponed again

After a recent public participationmeeting held in the Vrygrond area,

various complaints were received aboutscrap dealers who were reportedly pur-chasing stolen goods.With this in mind, Muizenberg police,

under the commandofMajorDeirdréEn-gelbrecht, launched an operation onMonday last week aimed at secondhanddealers.During the combined operation, Muiz-

enberg police were assisted by officers ofthe Wynberg cluster stations. Four li-censed premiseswere visited and all reg-isters were perused in accordance withthe Secondhand Dealer’s Act and thepremiseswere searched for stolen goods.During the search and inspection, noth-ing untoward was discovered and thedealers were in compliance with the Sec-ond Hand Dealers Act.On previous occasions stolen goods

had been discovered at scrap dealers,and in light of this, stricter enforcementhas been planned as a deterrent andmeans of preventing the sale of stolengoods to these dealers.Two arrests were made for the posses-

sion of narcotics – this in the vicinity ofthe secondhand dealers that were beinginspected.Colonel Ismail Daniels, station com-

mander of the Muizenberg police, urgeseveryone involved in secondhanddealer-ships to ensure that their licences are re-newed and that the regulations, especial-ly with regards to record keeping, arecomplied with.Daniels further encouraged the com-

munity to refrain from purchasing sto-len goods and to report such activities tothe police.V Problems with scrap dealers should be reportedto Warrant Officer Leon Verster on 021 787 9021.

bles and we have performed at a number ofbig events around the city.“In 2013, I won the award for best female

vocalist at the high school jam aswell 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 toAmerica is going to costmoney

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.

Tooth fairy makes Chloe a heroTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Chloe Crafford (8) has been called a heroby Domestic Animal Rescue Group

(Darg) in Hout Bay after she managed toraise R12 200 to help the non-profit organisa-tion.Darg is a pro-life welfare adoption centre

that supports the rescue, care and rehabili-tation of neglected, abandoned and abuseddomestic animals. The primary focus of theorganisation is adoption but it also providesbasic medical care, support and free sterili-sation for animals in the surrounding com-munities of Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg.The Grade 2 pupils from Camps Bay ap-

proached Darg and asked them if she couldhelp raise funds and they agreed. Little didthey know that they will be left speechlessby what an eight-year-old who is scared ofdogs, could do.Debra Buys fromDarg says they approved

Crafford’s application to raise funds andtheywere not aware that this young dynamohad set herself such a huge target.“We are completely gobsmacked with

Chloe’s donation of R12 200 asDarg is relianton the generosity of the public to keep itsdoors open. This money will go a long waytowards paying monthly expenses like vetbills, specialised food and other costs to keepour animals healthy and happy. It has beenan absolute privilege toworkwith this beau-tiful, selfless and kind young girl.”DargnowcallsCrafford their “PlanetWar-

rior” andasa small gesture of gratitude theywill be naming a new puppy “Chloe” in herhonour. Crafford has also joined Darg’sYoung Volunteer programme to assist withdaily chores and puppy training.One will wonder how the little girl man-

aged to raise somuchmoney.Thewhole ideafor the fundraiser started last year in De-cember when her family was having supper

at the waterfront one evening.“We were looking at the tree they put up

every year and Chloe commented that shewould like to use the R700 she had saved upfrom the tooth fairy to buy dogs and cats thathad nothing some beds and blankets forChristmas,” says Chloe’ mother, Iike. “Myhusband suggested that she rather approacha shelter as they would be able to help getthe most from the money she wanted to use.He told her that it was such a noble thingshe was doing that he would match herR700.”Without any waste of time she pulled out

her pen and notebook and decided that if shewaswilling to givemoney to the cause, otherpeople might also contribute. “Chloe decid-ed on Darg as the NPO she wanted to raisemoney for. She designed a collection form,chatted to friends and family about it, hadme put videos on social media where sheasked people for help and donations, and itjust kind of went from there,” says Iike.Chloe’s familybelieves that despiteherbe-

ing scared of dogs, this was a great way forher to get involved and overcome her fear.“I think the fact that there were animals

out there suffering, overshadowed her fearand she badly wanted to make them happy.After visiting Darg and being exposed towhat they do, she wants to go there everySaturday and also got involved in the puppytraining programme they have.”IIke says as a parent she is very proud of

her daughter’s efforts. “Wehonestly thoughtthat she would have forgotten about it aftera week or so, but she called us together quitea few times for ‘meetings’ to decide whenthis was going to happen. I’m quite excitedto see what initiative she will come up withnext”V Darg would like to invite more children to be likeChloe. Those who want to donate or send applicationsfor fundraising can email Buys on [email protected] Chloe Crafford is called a planet hero for raising funds for Darg to help animals.

DISRUPTION OFWATER SUPPLY:WYNBERGTuesday 3 May 2016

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero pressuretest on the water supply feeding the water supply zone in Wynberg on Tuesday 3 May 2016.

This will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas from 22:00 until 04:00 thefollowing morning.

The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in theaffected areas.

For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided intoreticulation zones which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the largenetwork. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.

Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.

The City regrets any inconvenience caused.

Plumstead Neighbourhood Watch(NHW) and community memberstook to the streets for a two-hourwalk recently to show their visibil-ity and that they have zero toler-ance toward crime in their commu-nity.The walk, which took place on

Sunday 17 April, was attended byaround100 people.Those who couldn’t walk assist-

ed with the mobile patrols.The organisers of the walk said

they were happy that it was re-ceivedwith openhandsby the com-munity at large. The walk wasplanned by the community of

Plumstead as well as PlumsteadNHW.Jacqui Martch, a member of the

neighbourhood watch and thewalk organiser, says the communi-ty really liked the idea of the walk.“Wewalked through the streets, es-corted by the police, mobile neigh-bourhoodwatch patrols and the se-curity company staff. Therewas anamazing team spirit. The commu-nity and neighbourhood watchmembers divided into two groupsand covered the greater Plumsteadarea. We have a very active neigh-bourhood watch, comprising ofwalking and mobile patrols. Wework closely with the police andcombat forces and often assist withspecial operations which are car-

ried out. This was just to remindpeople that we are out there,” shesays.Martch says as a neighbourhood

watch they are winning the waragainst crime, however there aresome parts of the community thatstill need to be looked at closely.Crime seems to depend on whichpart of Plumstead people reside in.Certain roads have more incidentsas they are closer to the exits.“Wealso focus on theproblemar-

eas so that we create a safer neigh-bourhood for everyone.”Theywill also be planning future

walks in various areas of Plum-stead and they believe neighbour-hood watches are import as theyare the eyes and ears of the police.

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.

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?

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 targetGold Label recognition. “We are verypleased with the progress we have madeover the last two years, and we are satisfiedthat we made further advances by hostinganother successful event last year. We havea vision and will continue to focus on thatby making the required adjustments to en-sure we are delivering a world-class eventacross the board. Thiswill assist in ensuringSouth African runners have access to aworld-class running event organised by glo-bally accredited standards, while offeringincentives and mentoring for local run-ners,” says Elana Meyer, race ambassadorand former Olympic 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 Sanlam Cape Town Mara-thon through various local industries, in-cluding travel and tourism, continues tomake a valuable contribution outside theworld of sport.

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. I

play 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].
