OCEAN VIEW

Gov works on safe schools

NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

V

isits have been carried out at Ocean

View schools to determine their safety

needs.

This follows a meeting between the

schools and the education departments cir-

cuit manager in which a number of safety

concerns for pupils were raised.

Safety audits are done at schools to deter-

mine safety and security needs, including

security infrastructure, as well as health

and safety training, explains Jessica Shel-

ver, spokesperson of the provincial educa-

tion department. Based on these audits,

schools and their needs are prioritised and

support is given to schools as far as is practi-

cable and in the budget.

It was requested at a meeting that the

Safe Schools coordinator visit the schools in

OceanViewagain to further ascertain safety

needs, she says.

Among the issues raised by the schools

were that pupils were unsafe walking to and

from school. There have been gang-related

incidents during break times and outside

school gates at the end of the school day.

Concernswerealso raised that theperime-

ters of the schools are not secured, with peo-

ple jumping over to fight, sell drugs and even

throw stones at teachers. In addition, the en-

trances to the school are not sufficiently

monitored to control access.

Anti-gangsterism and -violence pro-

grammes are offered to schools, says Shel-

ver.

During last year several meetings were

held between Nicro and Safe Schools to help

one primary school and the high school in

Ocean View with an anti-gangsterism pro-

gramme. The primary school then indicated

that it would like to postpone the pro-

gramme and the programme will therefore

only take place this year. Safe Schools has

also in the past embarked on holiday pro-

grammes inOceanViewwhichwasattended

by pupils from the various primary schools

in the area, she says.

Over the past few years, Safe Schools also

provided funding to schools in Ocean View

for alarms and stone guards.

Work is being done at Ocean View High

School, Shelver says.

Unfortunately, in communities where

gangsterism is prominent, it can sometimes

spill into our schools, she says.

Community safety and crime control rest

with the police, she says.

Gangsterism is a broad societal issue and

while the education department cannot be

held solely responsible for it, we can try and

minimise its impact in our schools. The de-

partmentdoes all it can in termsof its budget

to protect our pupils and our schools. But ul-

timately, it is also the responsibility of the

police and communities to ensure the safety

of our pupils by preventing gangsterism in

these areas.

At a recent communitymeeting to address

concerns over school safety, the newly ap-

pointed Ocean View police station com-

mander informed communitymembers that

officers were undertaking more after-hours

shifts and more visible policing to reduce

gang-related crime.

Firefighters battled a blaze which

broke out on Peers Hill on Thurs

day. Only a week before, a fire in

Glencairn had gutted two train

carriages, resulted in one death and

let to residents being evacuated to

the community hall. See more

DISTRICT SIX

Remember the vibrant way of life

NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

D

istrict Six was named the sixth

municipal district of Cape

Town in 1867. It was originally es-

tablished as amixed community of

freed slaves, merchants, artisans,

labourers and immigrants.

District Six was a mixed-use ar-

ea, explains District Six Museum

director Bonita Bennett, made up

ofmostly a residential community,

places of worship, schools, sports

clubs and community centres.

Structures were grand old

buildings with intricate architec-

ture, some crumbling and in need

of repairs butmanystill sturdyand

inhabitable. People from all over

lived there: local, early immi-

grants from Europe, India and oth-

er parts of Africa, she says.

The area was much like down-

town Harlem in New York City

breathing a life of its own, says

Shahied Ajam, a former resident

and chairperson of the District Six

Working Committee.

It was a city within a city and

life was relatively good despite our

hardships. Trade and commerce

were vibrant and it felt good to be

a part of this cosmopolitan commu-

nity, he says.

But all this changed on 11 Febru-

ary 1966, when it was declared a

white area under the Group Areas

Act.Over thenext twenty years the

community was forcibly removed

to the Cape Flats, their houses in

District Six bulldozed to the

ground.

Looking back

Yusuf Khan remembers the day

he realised he would have to leave,

after hearing the news while at

work at the harbour.

I understood we would have to

move, but I refused to move to

Mitchells Plain. I said: They will

have to throw me out.

Butworking later shifts,withhis

four daughters and three sons at

home, the safety of his children

soon became an issue.

It was dangerous for them. Peo-

ple would come to the empty hous-

es next door and set them alight,

he remembers.

We moved on a Friday night in

November or December to Lente-

geur.Whenwe got there, therewas

no electricity.

Harold Titus was 15 when the

declaration was made. Having

been born and growing up in Dis-

trict Six, in a diverse community,

he had little understanding ofwhat

it would ultimately mean for his

family.

There was no difference be-

tween Muslim and Jewish, or be-

tweenwhite and coloured, he says

of District Six.

In 1979, he was forced to move

with his wife and three children to

Manenberg.

I didnt want to move and they

came with trucks and moved my

things. I had no choice, he says.

Leaving District Six broke his

heart, Khan says.

People talk about the rainbow

nation, but that was the real rain-

bow nation. Our neighbours were

white and three houses down were

blacks. We were all friends. They

played rugby onour teamandwent

to the bioscope with us, he says.

The lesson to take from District

Six is that there is nothing to fear

in diversity, Bennett says.

Themore diverse a community,

the more enriched the community

members are likely to be as a result

of their exposure to different ways

of being, different cultural norms

and ways of life. A vibrant public

cultural life is the result, she says.

In the fifty years since the decla-

ration, somenotable achievements

have come out of District Six, Ben-

nett believes, in the affirmation of

the cultural contribution of artists,

writers, political thinkers and oth-

ers from the area.

There has been a growing

awareness of a particular way of

life that was exemplary in all its

complexity. There has been an

awareness that restitution is not

only about building and claiming

homes, but also about the cultural

memory of the community. With-

out ensuring that the intangible

values and heritage of the commu-

nity is protected, District Six resti-

tution is likely to just be a concrete

jungle, she says.

Looking forward

However, a lagging restitution

process still remains a deep disap-

pointment to many, Bennett says.

The 50th anniversary of the dec-

laration naming District Six a

white area means remembering

the pain, anguish, dehumanisa-

tion, deprivation and degeneration

which forced removals brought

with it, Ajam says.

The people need closure and the

land claims commission, as well as

the newly revitalised Land Claims

Court, need to practically imple-

ment the transformational intent

of the provisions of the Amended

Restitution of Land Rights, he

says.

Restitution inDistrict Six is not

about half-baked housing schemes

doomed to fail. Restitution is about

restoring the rights of people, re-

storing back the land to the people

and respecting the dignity and her-

itage of the people. And that goes

for all other historically disadvan-

taged communities who were af-

fected by apartheid and its racist

practices, he says.

But the future of District Six

looks bright, Bennett says.

We look forward to a vibrant

community which is both aware of

and invested in its heritage; a com-

munity which can build a post-

apartheid diversity and has struc-

tures and leaders who can help to

imagine a future together.

Khan believes the culture and

heritage of District Six will be car-

ried forward by the future genera-

tion. It wont be the same, but Id

like for my grandchildren to go

back. It would be nice. A fresh

start, he says.

Titus adds: We want our land

claims back. To move back to Dis-

trict Sixwould be like living in par-

adise.

District Six encapsulated a particular way of life that was exemplary in all its complexity before it was declared

a white area exactly fifty years ago, says the director of the District Six Museum. The area was declared a white

area exactly 50 years ago on Thursday this week. PHOTO: RICHARD GIRDWOOD/ DISTRICT SIX MUSEUM

WESTLAKE

NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A

sWorldWetlandsDaypassed onTuesday

last week, partnerships are underway to

ensure the health of local wetlands and wa-

terways.

Twenty to thirty years ago, canoeing

through Zandvlei estuary was near impossi-

ble due to a proliferation of invasive alien

water plants.

But today, the waterways are again open

to recreational use and a host of wildlife.

This is the result of theWestlake wetlands

project, which has been so successful that

similar strategies are being rolled out to wa-

terways across the city.

The project sawa partnership of local resi-

dents, the City of Cape Town and businesses

working together to remove the alien water

hyacinth from the estuary waters, explains

John Fowkes, project coordinator of the

Zandvlei Trusts Westlake wetlands project.

Constricting carpet

Water hyacinth has no natural predators

in the estuary and can double in size in just

40 days. The carpet of plants cuts out air and

light to thewater, and the plants underneath

begin to die. These plants then drop to the

floor of the estuary and decompose, creating

an uninhabitable environment for fish.

When the fish go, the birds that live on

the fish go as well. It has a dramatic impact

on the ecosystem if you dont keep water

open and flowing, he says.

The Zandvlei area is known mostly as a

water recreation zone for visitors sailing

yachts and paddling in canoes. Conserving

the natural habitat of fish and birds and en-

suring good water quality, however, is not

only vital for the ecosystem, but also neces-

sary to reduce flood risk and ensure its con-

tinued use as a recreational area.

As the only estuary onFalseBay, Zandvlei

is vital to support marine fishing, as young

species live and grow in the estuary before

returning to the sea.

Fight back

A string of recycled plastic bottles was

strung across the waterway and covered in

a sheath of shade net, which isolated the wa-

ter hyacinth.

PenBev, the local bottler and distributor

of Coca-Cola Company products in theWest-

ern and Northern Cape, which provided

funding tomechanically clear the alien from

the main waterways, while an unemployed

local was hired to clear the weed from the

smaller areas.

However, this proved only partially suc-

cessful. RhodesUniversity introduced an in-

sect, referred to as biocontrol agents, that

would naturally feed on the water hyacinth

in its home of the Amazon. These completed

the removal of the alien species.

A similar project has since been used on

the Black River, which was also choked,

says Fowkes.

Nowadays youll see flamingos returning

to the Black River. The initiative that Pen-

Bev helped us to introduce has spread far

and wide, says Fowkes.

Unfortunately, since the waterways have

been cleared, otherweeds have taken the hy-

acinths place, like water lettuce, parrots

feather, Kariba weed and yellow Mexican

water lily.

The insect mass rearing facility in West-

lake, which belongs to the Citys invasive

species unit, is curbing invasive plants by

breeding and releasing insects as the plants

natural enemies.

The alien water hyacinth has been eradicated from the Zandvlei estuary, using insects among

the arsenal. The estuary is now rehabilitated for recreational activities. PHOTO: GAVIN LAWSON

Peers Hill up in flames

Three helicopters were called to Peers Hill in Fish Hoek on Thursday to

help douse a wildfire on the slopes of the hill. Strong winds helped fuel

the fire across the slopes. The South Peninsula has seen a wave of

wildfires, exacerbated by hot and dry conditions. Only a week before, a

fire in Glencairn, in which one person died, gutted two train carriages.

A

s part of its efforts to curb air pollution,

the City of Cape Towns health director-

ate appeals to the public to report excessive

smoke emissions in cars.

Cars are the biggest source of air pollu-

tion inCapeTown, accounting for up to two-

thirds of the visible portion of air pollution.

The directorate has an air quality man-

agement unit that is tasked with enforcing

the provisions of the air quality manage-

ment by-law. The by-law prohibits the use

of vehicles that emit dark smoke.

Where such vehicles are spotted by the

public, the owners are requested to get a

free emissions test. Should the vehicle fail

the test, a repair noticewill be served on the

owner, affording him the opportunity to

have the vehicle repaired and to submit it

for a re-test. Non-compliance can result in

the owner getting a summons.

The by-law also states that vehicles emit-

ting dark smoke may be towed away with

the bill going to the owners. Any person

who is guilty of an offence in terms of the

by-law may face a jail sentence of up to 30

days or a fine or both.

In addition, a dedicated team conducts

roadside emissions testing on diesel vehi-

cles on a daily basis in partnership with the

Citys traffic service.

In the second half of last year, just under

4000 diesel vehicles were tested, with a total

of 14 failing tomeet thediesel emission stan-

dards, says Siyabulela Mamkeli, mayoral

committee member for health.

Thats less thanhalf a percent, compared

with the 17% failure ratewhen theCity first

started doing the diesel emissions test in

2000. I think the substantial drop can be at-

tributed to visible policing, improvement in

the quality of diesel, continual improve-

ment in emissions control technology of the

modern diesel engine and vehicle owners

improving on maintaining their vehicles,

he says.

V Members of the public can report excessive smoke

emissions from vehicles to the Citys air quality man-

agement unit on 021 590 5200 during office hours.

The complaint must include the registration number

of the vehicle, its make and model, the location and

direction of travel and the date and timeof the obser-

vation.

New homes for

fire victims

NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

T

heMasiphumelele fire victimshoused in

the community hall are being moved in-

to new temporary homes. The City of Cape

Town has provided about 35 homes for 80

residents.

Community representatives estimated

about 250 victims were housed in the hall,

despite an assessment by the City that

claimed that up to 82 residents were accom-

modated in the hall where theywere receiv-

ing humanitarian relief, including food

(Many still living in hall, Peoples Post, 26

January).

An extra 350 to 400 people sought accom-

modationwith relatives or on land close by,

community members estimate.

At a recent subcouncilmeeting, chairper-

son Felicity Purchase confirmed the resi-

dents had been housed in the hall following

the illegal construction of homes on land

cleared after the fire.

Some residents built informal homes

larger than the space allocated or moved in

during a land grab, leaving others without

space to build their homes.

The temporary homes have been erected

on land cleared for the next phase in the

Citys housing development, explains Pur-

chase. It is estimated that the tender will be

advertised in themiddle of the year and that

construction will take two years.

In the meantime, non-compliant struc-

tures built on sites D and E will be reduced

in size to make space permanently for the

displaced fire victims, she says.

Last chance for teaching antics

LOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

L

ocal comedianDalinOliver is giving local

audiences one last chance to see his suc-

cessful one-man show I came, I taught, I left,

before he takes the production to other cit-

ies.

As a sports presenter on Good Hope FM

by day and a comedian by night, Dalins ca-

reer took an interesting turn before arriving

on the entertainment stage.

I came, I taught, I left is a recollection of

his experiences as a student, and later, as a

teacher, the profession he originally set out

to master.

While his foray into teaching was short,

the classroom turned out to be a spring of

content for his first production.

Although he performed I came, I taught,

I left, directed by Stuart Taylor, at the Na-

tional Arts Festival inGrahamstown before,

he only brought the show to Cape Town for

the first time in September last year.

His run at the Baxters Golden Arrow Stu-

diowas so successful that Dalin decided hed

need to make another turn on the Baxter

stage. In fact, the show sold out before open-

ing night already.

Its very humbling, he says, adding: Its

a cool thing to be received so nicely by a

home crowd.

Dalin says he found his shows very inter-

active, but has been working on keeping the

interaction with his crowd without compro-

mising the running time of the show.

For me it was about making it a tight

product and leaving it at the punchline.

Dalinwill be back at the Baxter fromMon-

day 22 February to Saturday 5 March. And

if all goes according to plan, the show will

be filmed for a live DVD.

From therehell take the show toPortEliz-

abeth, back to Grahamstown, and perhaps

to Johannesburg.

Movie debut

In between all this, Dalin is also preparing

for his big-screen debut alongside acting vet-

eran Neels van Jaarsveld and his comedy

mentor Stuart in Finders Keepers. Set to be

released in June, Dalin was quietly working

on the local comedy last year.

Finders Keepers is an action comedy

thats based on friendship, supposed friend-

ship, betrayal, love and, eventually, happi-

ness, he explains.

Im excited about it, but also nervous.

He met director Maynaard Kraak in Gra-

hamstown during the first run of his show

in 2014.

Although he found the script funny, he re-

calls reminding Maynaard: You know Im

not an actor, hey?

A few crash courses in on-screen acting

later, Dalin was on set, playing a lead role.

Whether any of that helped at all, I have

no idea.

Naked scene

While each character in the film has his

own story, Dalin plays a socially awkward

character, who he says is pretty much an

overstatement of himself.

He just wants people to love him, but hes

genuine.

One part of the script he found rather

amusing was a scene in which his character

Lonnie gets mugged and has to run naked

through the park . . . until he realised that

would mean him running naked.

I thought: This is out of my comfort zone

completely.

In the end it turned out fine andDalin says

theres no real nudity and lots of nice come-

dy in the scene, so he felt completely com-

fortable.

Thats going to be fun once it releases,

he says of the film.

Dalin also recently performed on a Good

Hope FM cruise on theMSC Symphonia and

was a host at the at the J&BMets public vil-

lage earlier this month.

He hopes to have a brand new show to

bring to stage next year, but for now,Capeto-

Festival changes to monthly arts events in open spaces

Based on funding constraints, the Africa

Centrehashad to cancel this years Infecting

the City Festival.

The festival has been growing every year

since its inception in 2008 to become one of

the Citys signature arts events. Over 38 000

people attended last years festival.

Raising money for a festival is always a

challenging job, but despite an exhaustive

year-long search for funders, organisers

wereunable to secure enough funding to run

the festival in its traditional format.

With support from the City of Cape Town,

however, Infecting theCitywill become a se-

ries of large and smallmonthly public art in-

terventions that take place in the Citys

shared spaces.

The schedule for the series, which starts

next month, will be released in the next few

weeks.

Reading aid gives

kids real value

A

fter opening the door to education for

thousands of children, non-profit orga-

nisation Help2read is celebrating a decade

of service.

The programme started at Muizenberg

Junior School.

Since its opening in February 2006, over

10 000 children have benefited from the pro-

gramme, which now runs at 61 schools

across the country.

Pupils in the Help2read programme re-

ceive one-on-one tutoring by a volunteer

twice a week, for 30 minutes at a time.

Just over 10 years ago, Marielle Moss, ac-

companied by her dogMaya, left the United

Kingdom and moved to Cape Town to start

up Help2read.

Armedwith a training video and fixed de-

termination,Moss started recruiting volun-

teers for Help2read, set up by her father Al-

ex Moss.

Help2reads main aim is to address the

problem of child illiteracy in South Africa.

Ten years and more than 10 000 literate

children later, Moss, her parents and Dee

Cawcutt, then principal ofMuizenberg Jun-

ior, returned to the school where it all start-

ed to celebrate.

The programme works with pupils who

need help with reading, as identified by

their teachers. Volunteers spend time with

themat the school, outside of the classroom,

playing and reading.

This one-on-one attention adds real value

to their lives, as well as the lives of others.

The childrens reading improves, and so

does their self-esteem, resulting in all-

round academic improvement, Moss says.

The programme is now growing in

schools across the Western Cape.

Help2read has introduced a new pro-

gramme in which unemployed matricu-

lants spend a year helping children at their

local community schools.

In a combined operation by members of

Muizenberg police, law enforcement and lo-

cal neighbourhood watches, six suspects

were arrested for various crimes ranging

from housebreaking to possession of drugs

and housebreaking tools.

Intensive patrols were launched and two

suspects, aged 25 and 28, were arrested for

housebreaking and theft. This was after a

residence in Beach Road had been broken

into earlier that evening. The suspectswere

found to be in possession of stolen goods.

Two laptops and two hard drives to the val-

ue of R35 000 were recovered.

Two men, aged 24 and 42 years, were ar-

rested on Boyes Drive in Lakeside later aft-

er they were found to be in possession of

housebreaking implements. The suspects

could not give a reasonable explanation for

why they had the items.

Two suspects, aged 27 and 33, were arrest-

ed for being in possession of dagga and tik.

Lieutenant-Colonel BonganiMtakati, act-

ing commander of Muizenberg police sta-

tion, encourages the community to remain

supportive and give tip-offs.

Stolen items returned

NOT AFRAID OF ANY EMERGENCY: Members of the Citys fire and rescue services

prepare to put out a fire created in a practice session. The City of Cape Town simulated

an emergency in Simons Town on Tuesday last week to test the official response time to

a rail disaster. The scenario involved a train colliding with a diesel tanker en route to

the Simons Town naval base, causing the train to catch alight. A hazardous spill also

formed part of the scenario. The exercise was done in collaboration with other agencies,

including the Citys fire and rescue services, Metrorail, Prasa, Transnet, the police, defence

force, National Sea Rescue Institute, emergency medical services and forensic pathology

services. PHOTO: CITY OF CAPE TOWN

especially an attraction for pupilswho have

it as a setwork piece, says Walker.

T

he City of Cape Town is finalising

the appointment of operators for

the completed early childhood devel-

opment (ECD) facility inOceanView.

Almost R12m has been budgeted by

the Citys social development and

early childhood development direct-

orate for the construction and finali-

sation of three other facilities too

centres in Athlone, Delft and Netreg

(City breaking new ground for new

ECDs, Peoples Post, 22 September

2015).

Construction of the Nantes ECD

centre in Athlone is gathering pace.

After planning for the construction

to be completed in July, the City of

Cape Town says completion is now

expected in May. The centre will ac-

commodate about 120 children.

The process to appoint an operator

for the Golden Gate ECD in Netreg is

under way. Construction of the Delft

ECD centre is set to start in April,

with completion expected in Februa-

ry next year. The Fisantekraal and

Strandfontein ECD facilities already

have operators appointed and they

are on site.

Private operators

TheCity builds ECD facilities, then

leases them to private operators.

There have been instances where

appointing operators has taken

longer thanwemight havehoped, but

we have to follow due process.

We have also been subject to un-

fortunate construction delays over

the years, but ultimately we are

working as quickly as possible to get

these facilitiesupandrunning tohelp

address the pressing need for quality

ECD facilities in ourmost vulnerable

areas, says Suzette Little, mayoral

committee member for social devel-

opment and early childhood develop-

ment.

The directorate currently has 26

fully functioning ECD centres across

the city that are leased to private op-

erators.

In addition, ECD practitioners are

trained on national norms and stan-

dards, while resources and support

are provided to ECD centres that

have yet to become registered facili-

ties.

During the current financial year,

the directorate aims to help 200 ECD

centres become compliant so that

they may register with the Western

Cape department of social develop-

ment.

This will be done by giving them

items such as first-aid kits, learning

materials, blankets and mattresses.

The directorate is in the process of

forming a partnershipwith the Citys

library and information services de-

partment to establishECD toy library

resource sections within City librar-

ies.

The aim is to provide opportunities

for the ECD sector, including parents

and caregivers, to have access to toys

and educational materials for chil-

dren.

BuildingECD centres is one of our

top priorities, but we recognise that

by building partnerships with pri-

vate ECD operators we can benefit

more children. So we will continue

providing training, services and re-

sources to as many ECDs as our bud-

get allows, says Little.

MIKES OCEAN TALES

The truth about

Great Whites

One of the most hated and misunderstood animals that has

ever set foot on this planet, or put fin towater, areGreatWhite

sharks. Sci-fi movies and shark attacks have resulted in a tar-

nished reputation.

Sharks have been roaming the ocean for more than 400m

years. A testament to the adaptation techniques of sharks is

that theyhave survivedmanymass extinctions, including the

extinction thatwipedout thedinosaurs.This great adaptation

has resulted in sharks becoming an apex predator of the

ocean.

Although Great Whites are widely distributed in the global

ocean, they are extremely common along the South African

coastline, particularly in places such as Gansbaai, False Bay

and Mossel Bay. These areas are also known for the large

amounts of fish and seals on which Great Whites feed. In the

winter months, Seal Island in False Bay is a popular hunting

ground for Great White sharks.

GreatWhite sharks, despite popularbelief, are in fact select-

ive predators. It often occurs that GreatWhites swim through

the surf of popular swimming spots along the False Bay coast

without attacking any people in the water.

Although there are shark attacks that occur yearly, it is ex-

tremely rare for a shark attack to be fatal. Last year, only

three people died from a shark attack which is an extremely

low number compared to the 100m sharks that are killed each

year by humans.

Sharks have no natural predators. However, due to the

large amount that are killed each year, the population num-

bers are drastically declining. This decline could have a dras-

tic impact on the food web as sharks feed on seals who in turn

feed on fish. If the seal population increases, the fish popula-

tion will decrease, which would have a negative impact on

the fishing industry. This has resulted in many countries,

such as Australia and New Zealand, protecting the Great

White shark.

It is important that we change the false perception we have

of the GreatWhite shark and, instead, focus on learningmore

about this creature.

Tomy stepsons killer

You killed my stepson nearly

two years ago, but yet you are

still roaming free.

Do you realise what you have

done? You not only took a life

but you have destroyed a

family; you took a son from his

father and also a father from

his son as my stepsons

girlfriend was expecting when

you shot and killed him.

The boy is now being raised

by his grandmother and he will

never know his father, nor will

my stepson ever hold his son in

his arms, because of you.

You broke my husbands

spirit; he is no longer the man

he once was. He now drinks to

numb the pain and has all but

forgotten about his two young

daughters, because of you. I am

the one who has been trying to

pick up the pieces of my

husbands broken heart.

It has been nearly two years

since you killed my husbands

son, but he saw you for the

first time in court yesterday,

and do you know what? I have

not seen my husband since he

left for court yesterday, because

of you.

Do you even think of what

you did, do you? How sick must

you have been to drink yourself

to a stupor and go shoot blindly

at people?

But you must not have been

that drunk because you shot to

kill; you shot him in his thigh,

neck and chest.

He still managed to run to his

mothers house where he finally

succumbed to his wounds and

for my husband to find him

still lying there, not even being

able to touch his son because of

you.

You are the killer, but yet

you were placed in protective

custody because you have

money. What did my stepson do

to you that justified you taking

his life?

You thought you were doing

the people a favour, but you

never thought of the destruction

you left in your wake.

Your family is still in one

piece but my and my husbands

are in tatters because of you.

I hope your conscience keeps

you up at night, the way my

husband cannot sleep because

of what you have done.

Mitchells Plain

Enter to win for your school

After the inaugural Lets Play

schools physical education challenge

event last year, involving 403 000 pu-

pils from 473 primary schools, Super-

Sport has relaunched it.

The Challenge is a nationwide fit-

ness competition for Grade 4 pupils.

The primary objective of the Chal-

lenge is to reinforce curriculum-ori-

ented physical education and to pro-

mote physical activity in all schools.

Lets Play coaching teams will tar-

get various schools to run the Chal-

lenge. The fittest Grade 4 pupils per

school will compete against other

schools, after which the top three

schools per province will qualify for

the provincial semi-final, leading to

an overall provincial winner.

The obstacle course challenge is

designed for both boys and girls and

will be standardised at every school.

It includes soccer slalom dribble,

catch and throw, mini hurdles, rope

pull and an agility drill, all of which

are completed in amatter ofminutes.

While activity is the central focus

of the Challenge, it will also draw at-

tention to the social issue of bullying.

UFC athlete and Lets Play ambassa-

dor Garreth Soldierboy McLellan,

as well as other sports personalities,

will make appearances at schools to

address the issue.

We believe that this is a meaning-

ful way to get schools involved in

physical activity, particularly as

government has highlighted the

need for children to becomemore ac-

tive, says Vaughn Bishop, head of

Lets Play. Kids need not be super-

stars; the challenge is designed to ac-

commodate everyone at primary

school level.

The fittest primary school per

province will compete for the nation-

al title and the prize of a R1.3m all-

purpose, all-weather multi-use sport

court for the winning school.

Congratulations to Riverview

Primary School for winning last

years overall competition. We are

sure that the childrenwill enjoyplay-

ing five codes of sport on this state

of the art, world-class multipurpose

sport court. Being able to participate

in sport, provide sustainable pro-

grammes in our schools and nurture

young talent is key to the future of

South African sport. We are proud to

continue supporting this programme

by sponsoring yet another sport

court for this years competition, and

enhancingeducation throughsport,

says Anita Mathews, executive di-

rector of the Sports Trust.

The Lets Play physical education

challenge is endorsed by the depart-

ment of basic education, the depart-

ment of sport and recreation, the

Sports Trust, the Physical Education

Institute of SA, Unicef and Multi-

Choice.
