A SUSPECT standing trial for allegedlyraping four minors has been warned bythe Salt River community not to returnhome.

Angry parents have made threats of mobjustice against the 49-year-old suspect if heshould set foot in their streets.It is understood that theman forcedhimself

on the children over an extended period oftimebefore the children confided in their par-ents, leading to his recent arrest.An angry mother, who cannot be named,

confirms that her two daughters were the al-legedly victims of the abuse and were rushedto hospital for post-traumatic stress when

they heard that the suspect is applying forbail.“We do not want him here and we will do

everything and fight every law just to keephim out of this community. People havethreatened to kill him if he even thinks of re-turning to Salt River,” the mother says.She continues that 600 signatures have al-

ready been gathered within the community,as well as in Woodstock, which has alreadybeen handed to the prosecutors in objectionto the bail application.“These children literally get sick when

they hear of him coming out; this is not thefirst time he is applying for bail.Wewant thisto end now. He must just stay where he isand rot in prison,” she says.Ameer Khan, a Salt River resident, ex-

pressed disgust at the allegations against thesuspect.“Nothinghasbeenprovenyet and therehas

been no judgement on the case, but if he isfound guilty, he shouldn’t be allowed to liveanywhere close to children,” he says.Khan has three children of his own and im-

mediately got cold shivers imagininghis fam-ily in that situation.“This incident is no secret; everybody is

talking about it. This man should not be al-lowed to comeback to the area, because I real-ly don’t foresee a good future for him in thiscommunity,” he says.Charmaine Smith, the manager of Victim

Empowerment and Youth Programmes atMolo Songololo, is not surprised by the actionbeing threatened by the community.

“The statistics show that more and morechildren are being sexually assaulted and, inturn, more communities are taking a stand,”she says.But Smith encourages residents to “allow

justice to take its course”.The organisation is prepared to assist the

community by listening to the facts, studyingthe case and then providing the necessary in-formation. “We are there to help communi-ties;wehave interventions before things tendto blow up,” she says.For more information, contact Molo Son-

gololo on 0 (021) 448-5421.People’s Post forwarded a detailed query to

Woodstock police for comment, but theywereunable to respond at our time of going toprint.

Dear reader,

A visit to shopping malls will confirmthat we’re a mere eight weeks away fromChristmas.Visual evidence such as gift wrap, gift

ideas and stores festoonedwith festive dec-orations entrench this.Some of our smart friends have already

bought presents for their loved ones,months in advance, in some cases.They’re the people who work well with

their cash – emphasis on cash.The alternative is credit which may not

be the best route, but a necessary evil attimes.Despite our upbringing and the multi-

tude of lectures our parents gave us aboutthe dangers of buying on credit, most of ushave had to go this route at some point.We can of course justify our actions

when it comes to what is termed “gooddebt”, namely our homes and cars, whichfew can pay for in cash. In fact, raising thedeposit on a house or car is a tall enoughorder for most. A house is an investmentand we need a car for work – it’s as simpleas that, we reason.But, as we contemplate our income and

expenses between now and the festive sea-

son, it might be a good time to spare athought for those less fortunate.Various initiatives are already under-

way to ensure that almost everyone has ajoyous holiday, with the guarantee of ameal onChristmasDay and the joy for chil-dren, especially, of unwrapping a modestgift.Please support the efforts

of the hundreds, if not thou-sands, of people and organi-sations working tirelesslythroughout our beautiful,world-class city tomake thisa truly joyous Christmas – aday from which nobodyshould be excluded.It doesn’t matter which

faith we belong to andwhether or not we celebrateChristmas.Each of us has the capaci-

ty to care.Link up with a good cause and give as

you can; whether it’s volunteering yourtime at the SPCA, offering to help out at achildren’s home, buying a toy for a needychild, handing out a few loaves of bread inan informal settlement ormaking a contri-bution towards a Christmasmeal for those

who cannot afford it. Helping to cook themeal also goes a long way and it is over thefestive season that there is a dire need forvolunteers.It’s sad to see the amount of waste from

an average household – specifically foodthat is thrown away, and the mountain of

cans stocked in people’s pan-tries.

I’ve seen a huge box, in-stalled at an office for a verygood cause, remain empty forweeks.Not a single donation of

canned food has found itsway into this box, despite apublic appeal for support ofthis worthy cause.Yes, we should enjoy our

hard-earned money, and thepleasure of doing that maywell be enhanced by a chari-table deed.

TAURIQ HASSEN

MAITLAND residents are beingwarned to not fall for the ploy of anewspaper distributor, also known asa runner, who claims he has permis-sion from People’s Post to collect mon-ey for the cost of a funeral.Some people were shocked to hear

that the editor of People’s Post had au-thorised this collection of funds, alleg-edly to cover the funeral expenses ofone of the runners’ drivers.Last week, Maitland resident Liz

Morta was approached by a runner,who told her that a driver for the com-panyhadbeen stabbed todeath in Ken-sington. At the time, Morta was gar-dening with her husband and beingcautious, quickly packed up her gar-dening equipment after the distributorsaid he would return.“I could not believe the editor would

give such permission and this manlooked really dodgy. I could not affordto take any chances and I just went in-side before he returned, but he nevercame back,” Morta says.She confirms that when looking at

his collection list, theman had alreadyreceived money from a number of peo-ple in the area and could be targetingother residents.“I was not interested to hearwhat he

was saying as his face was reallysmashed up. He looked like the gang-ster type, but my husband was watch-ing him,” she says.AnotherMaitland victim,who chose

to remain anonymous, tells People’sPost that she donated R50 towards thecause and claimed she found the storyto be very “believable”. “I am just thattype of person, but I really was not

aware that this guy is scamming thecommunity,” she says.The victim was approached last

weekwhen the distribution employee,carrying an affidavit from the Good-wood Police Station and a copy of thePeople’s Post, shared a similar story.“He seemed very believable and told

us that the person that died was reallyclose to him,” she says. “I can’t believepeople are so sick to play with youremotions like that. I hope he uses thatmoney to buy himself a heart.”People’s Post editor Feroza Miller-

Isaacs says she did not give permis-sion for any runner to collect funds fora funeral or any other cause.“Wewill be investigating thismatter

and caution our readers to bewary andcontact us – as Morta has wisely done– should you be approached by anyonetrying to solicit money under our pa-per’s name,” she says.Winston Dampies, the branch man-

ager for On The Dot which is responsi-ble for distribution, explains that simi-lar incidents have been occurring inthe northern suburbs.The culprit has since then been

caught.“This person knows that our run-

ners are not in the area and thereforeoperates on this day,” Dampies says.He informs readers that they should

reports this incident to the local policeimmediately.“If possible, the residents must try

and get a good description of this per-son and forward it through to us,”Dampies adds.Anybody wanting to report similar

incidents can contact People’s Post on0 (021) 713 9440 or On The Dot on0 (021) 528 7920.

THE NEW BMT (bus, minibus andtaxi) lanes are aimed at decreasingcommuters’ travelling time.OnWednesday, the lanes were of-

ficially launchedby theCity ofCapeTown after investigating opportu-nities and requirements for the re-introduction of “effectively policedpublic transport lanes” on MainRoad between the CBD and Mow-bray.Mayoral Committee member for

Transport, Roads and Stormwater,

Brett Herron, says that the investi-gations addressed potential bene-fits of the lanes, road signage andmarking upgrade requirements,the location of stops and the provi-sion of shelters.“The need for the reservation of

these lanes for the exclusive use ofpublic transport commuters is veryclear. It is imperative that the flowof public transport vehicles should

be given priority by means of well-enforced public transport lanes,”Herron says.The investigations revealed that

approximately 70% of the people ofCape Town use public transportand that, during peak hours, morethan 30 000 commutersuse theMainRoad public transport route everyday.This is compared to approximate-

ly 4 000 commuters who use privatetransport. Many are single occu-pancy vehicles, Herron adds.Effective enforcement of the

lanes will rely heavily of CCTVcameras that will be monitoredthrough the Transport Manage-ment Centre, variable messagingsigns, a dedicated team of Law En-forcement officers and a tow-awayvehicle.

In the early 1990s, the City imple-mented public transport lanes be-tween the CBD and Mowbray.These lanes became ineffective as aresult of abuse by motorists and alack of enforcement, Herron says.“We are implementing a solution

that supports the mobility of thou-sands of commuters who happen touse two of the other importanttransport modes – scheduled busservices and taxis,” Herron says.BMT lanes are operational week-

days between 06:00 and 08:30 and af-ternoons between 16:00 and 18:00.

ACLOUD of confusion continuestohoveraboveacontaineractingas a soup kitchen in Kensington.

The container was originally set-up by the provincial Department ofSocial Development at the informalsettlement inside the MaitlandCemetery last year and thenmovedto Sixth Avenue. The soup kitchenwas then forced to relocate and wasgiven the go ahead by Shawco tomove onto their property in 12thAvenue on a “temporary basis”.Sharon Cooksen, the Shawco cen-

tre manger, explains that the con-tainer was always meant to be relo-cated to a more permanent venueand the arrangement was only“temporary”. “We are not kickingthis soup kitchen off from ourpremises, but this arrangementwas nevermeant to be for very longand they have informed us that thecontainer will be moved,” saysCooksen.

Over the years, the container hashad to move to three different loca-tions, after being vandalised and al-legedlyusedbydrugdealers (“Prob-lems not contained”, People’s Post,1 February 2011).Chantal Williams, who runs the

soupkitchen, confirms that the con-tainer has to be off the property by29 November.“We really don’t know what the

future holds and we do understandthat this container serves the disad-vantaged community and is verymuch needed,” says Williams.She has now approached the City

of Cape Town for help and is set tomeet with the Sports and Recrea-tion Department in order to obtaina piece of City-owned land.“We have to try and do every-

thing, but the important thing isthat we need this container in thecommunity,” she adds.Williams explains that a piece of

land behind the Kensington CivicCentre has been identified, butwork is required on the land if the

container is to be moved.“We have gone to check out the

land. It doesneed somework, but allof that needs to be discussed withthe City,” Williams says.The meeting with the City is

scheduled for today.When People’s Post arrived at the

soup kitchen last week, which is be-lieved to be serving around 560 peo-ple, the lunch time rush was justover. However, before a few lastminute hungry stomachs could diginto their soup, they shared theirviews.Willem Adriaanse is one of the

many who benefit from the soupkitchen. The Factreton resident isunemployed and has four children.“For people like us, this soup

kitchen is important because wecannot afford to buy food everydayor even go to the shop for a bread,”he says.He was shocked to hear that the

soup kitchen might once again berelocated, ashealsoused to regular-ly visit the soup kitchen in Sixth

Avenue. “There is nothing wrongwith it here, because it’s much clos-er to home and there is enoughspace. I don’t understand why peo-ple have to be so fussy; this wholeplace is supposed to be a communi-ty centre,” Adriaanse adds.Jessica Isaacs has two children

and lives alone in a one-bedroombackyard dwelling in Factreton.

Like Adriaanse, Isaacs also de-pends heavily on soup kitchens andcould not come to terms why Shaw-co would not allow them to stay.“This whole building is for com-

munity use. They will move thiscontainer out and bring in some-thing really useless and stupid.They don’t care about people like usin the community,” she says.

REMEMBER, remember thefifth of November.

GuyFawkes is celebrated annual-ly on this day.

Throngs of people head to areasdesignated for setting off fireworks,while others get in on the fun bypelting others with eggs and smear-

ing toothpaste.The day is named after the

Englishman who planned thefailed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 inEngland.People’s Post interns Luzuko Zini

and Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn askedreaders if they felt celebrating theevent was still relevant.

NO POINT: Christine Dict says shehas outgrown the celebration. “It isjust useless because there is notmuch to it. I used to celebrate itwhen I was young and would buy firecrackers.”

THINK OF OTHERS: Craig Erasmusbelieves people have to be considerate. “It is okay, but people don’t takethe animals into consideration. Idon’t even know the history behindthe day.”

NOTHANKS: Tembisa Sabela says: “Idon’t celebrate it because I don'tsee the meaning of the day. I thinkit is just a bunch of people lookingfor an excuse to act out of character.”

OLD SCHOOL: While growing up Alroy Conradie celebrated Guy Fawkeswith much enthusiasm, but hedoesn’t any more. “I think it died abit because people don’t celebrate itlike they did years ago.”

GREAT SPORTS: Nazeem Cupidofeels Guy Fawkes is “too much fun”to ignore. He says he enjoys the fireworks and throwing paint at people.“Every year we have fun with fireworks at the beach.”

TRADITIONS: Sharne Tyutu says although she feels bad for the animals,Guy Fawkes is a tradition she enjoys.“I hope I will be allowed to go to thebeach this year. We sit and eat whilewatching the fireworks.”

IRRELEVANT: Kevin Ashton says GuyFawkes is a waste of time as thereis no relevance to celebrating it inSouth Africa. “People don’t realisethe affect it has on animals. It’s a hazard and has nothing to do with us.”

DANGER: While it is very dangerousLorezene de Wee says Guy Fawkesis still a lot of fun. “My friends andI have gotten hurt many times playing with fireworks, but we still lookforward to the day every year.”

FACTRETON backyarddwellers living on private-ly-owned land are fed upwith the City of Cape Townas they are still waiting forbasic services.

The backyarders are re-questing amenities such aswater, electricity and toilets.However, the City is re-

stricted through the Munici-pal FinanceManagement Actfrom assisting anyone livingon private property.SalmaanFaircroft (47) lives

with his family in a one-bed-roomWendy house and is putoff by the sight of his neigh-bours receiving basic servic-es. “I have been living herefor 16 years and still we don’t have access tothese services. I knowof peoplewho recentlymoved into their houses, who have all theseservices and this makes me angry,” he says.Irma Diedericks (39), lives in a Wendy

house with her four children and husband,and is constantly battling the elements.“I can’t understand what makes us so dif-

ferent, becausewe are human beings aswell,waiting for houses and also have everydaychallenges.“I believe we have the right to these basic

services and I will continue to fight for whatI believe everybody is entitled to,” says afrustrated Diedericks.Community leader Jimmy Xalipi has re-

ceived a number of complaints from back-yard dwellers and says: “I could see a prob-lem with these services being granted tosome of the backyard dwellers.”Xalipi suggests that theCity relook theAct

in order to accommodate backyarders livingon privately-owned land.“It should be every persons constitutional

right to have access to these basic servicesand for this reason only, should the City re-consider their actions,” he adds.He explains that dwellers living on pri-

vately-owned land are also on the City’shousingwaiting list and feels theCity shouldalso be granting them these services.“We have tried to get answers from the

City. Several meetings were held with theCity and these backyard dwellers have notreceived the answers they are looking for,”says Xalipi.He confirms that on Wednesday 7 Novem-

ber, a public meeting will be hosted with theCity and all affected dwellers at the commu-nity centre in Factreton.Ward councillorDerrickAmerica believes

there is nothing the City can do for backyarddwellers living on privately-owned land, asthe Act restricts the City.“There is obviously merit to their con-

cerns, but they have to understand that theAct prevents the City from ensuring theyhave these services,” says America.

MINSTRELS are set tomarch through thehistoric Bo-Kaap,much to the dissatisfac-tion of a local Islamic organisation.

The Mosques of the Bo-Kaap, an organisa-tion representing all 11 mosques in the area,feels the minstrels have not kept their end ofthe bargain.Minstrel troupes signed a code of conduct

as part of the agreement tomarch through thehistoric Bo-Kaap area.This came after lengthy discussions be-

tween representatives of the City of CapeTown, provincial government and minstrelassociations in 2011.“We had complaints of people urinating

against walls and even leaving behind faecesbecause resident had complained about theminstrels,” says the spokesperson ofMosques of Bo-Kaap.The spokesperson agreed to speak to Peo-

ple’s Post on condition of anonymity sayingthat residents who have previously spokenout against the minstrels returning to Bo-Kaap had been victimised.He explains that during the carnival at the

start of the year, minstrels had violated theiragreement andhe is shocked to hear a similarshow will be showcased.“We were not approached by anybody and

I cannot understand why they are being al-lowed back into Bo-Kaap if they had violatedso many of their agreements,” he says.

He confirms the organisation is now pre-pared to put their grievances to paper, hopingtheir concerns would not “fall upon deafears”. He adds: “We are not against the min-strels, but we are against the times in whichthey choose to march because they have torespects the mosque, prayer times and Mus-lims intending to pray.”Minstrel leaders are happy to announce

that the carnival is set to feed the public withsome traditional entertainment come 2013.The carnival officially kicks off onWednes-

day 2 January, when minstrel troupes fromall over Cape Town performs in the city cen-tre as part of the annual road march.Minstrels will receive R1 million from the

City’s Arts and Culture department to fundthe events.Richard Stemmet, the chairperson of the

Cape Town Minstrel Carnival Association,confirms that the “traditional routes willonce again be explored”.“We have won this battle in court and we

will be using the same route on the day, walk-ing right through Bo-Kaap to entertain thecrowds,” Stemmet says.In October 2011, minstrel leaders engaged

in a court battle with the City of Cape Townand the provincial government in the CapeHigh Court. Retired Constitutional Courtjudge Kate O’Reagan had been appointed tolead negotiations between the parties as anindependent mediator (“Minstrels work itoutwithCity”,People’s Post, 11October 2011).The route starts from the top of Keiz-

ergracht, through Darling, into Strand, upWale and finishing off in Rose streets , beforeheading off to Athlone or Vygieskraal stadi-ums in order to perform their items.“We are expecting much of the same as last

year – a very exciting and traditional carni-val. The public can be rest assured that theywill enjoy it,” says Stemmet.An agreement was reached in November

last year, which included the return of thenormal routes through Bo-Kaap and hostingthe event on 2 January, as well as the CityprovidingR3,5million for TweedeNuwe Jaarand competitions.The agreement also stated that minstrels

would have to adhere to prayer times andwould have to stick to a cut-off time in orderto respect the Bo-Kaap community (“The re-

turn of the minstrels”, People’s Post, 15 No-vember 2011).Grant Pascoe, the Mayoral Committee

member for Tourism, Events and Marketing,confirms that “no violations” occurred dur-ing the formal road marches, but severalcomplaints were received from residentsabout “back marches”.“Back marches” occur when resident min-

strel troupes return to the Bo-Kaap after com-petitions. “TheCity is not opposed to theprin-ciple of allowing back marches to take placeafter competitions. However, applicationsneed to be made timeously and are subjectedto approval,” Pascoe says.He adds that the City’s Law Enforcement

andpolicewill be on stand-by to dealwith anytransgressions.

are very low every year,” said Bali.“Part of the reason for that is thereis always new educational contentthat the teachers were not previouslyexposed to, and when this contentgets to the classrooms the teachersgrapple to deal with it, and this impacts the quality of the lessons.”

IFYOUare a school leaver or justlooking for a great career, it’sdefinitely worth your while to

consider the great opportunitiesthat just keep coming out of the Information Technology industry.

While virtually every other type ofemployment takes a hit in thesetense economic times, demand forthose skilled in network engineering, programming andweb development remain strong across all skilllevels.

What do IT professionals do?Network engineers are responsi

ble for maintaining internet and office networks,making sure computers and their users can always keepin touch with each other.Technicians, such as those who

have obtained A+ certification status, are responsible for ensuringthat thephysical guts of the information

age – the computers themselves – arerunning in tiptop shape.Programmers and web developers

write the software which runs onthese computers and networks.They create the programmes or

the sets of instructions that computers read and carry out.

What’s so great about being an ITprofessional?Studies showthat ITworkershave

more job security, more choiceswhen deciding who to work for andmakemoremoney, faster, thanmostother kinds of occupations.Thegreat thingabout IT is that it’s

always changing and evolving,bringing more opportunities fornewcomers to get their foot in thedoor.If there is any field where a hard

working young person canprogress rapidly and quickly reachthe top of their game, with all the rewards that go with it, it must be IT.You could be a professional in the

workforce, earning serious moneyin as little as six months.

How do I become an IT professional?The easiest and most reliable way

toget into IT is to get an internationallyrecognised IT qualification like

those offered by Microsoft’s MCP,CompTIA, Oracle and ECCouncil.IT jobs are demanding and need

people who know their stuff.That’s why internationallyrecog

nised certification is such a goodidea, because if you pass your testsand get certified, you know you’reready to take on any challenge thatcomes your way, guaranteed!All the major IT companies in the

world offer certification in theirproducts and “platforms”, to makesure there is always a supply ofqualified professionals who knowhow to operate them like true experts.Employers know they can rely on

certified staff to deliver, so it’s notsurprising that over 70% of themsay they won’t hire uncertified staffif they have the choice.

Can I work overseas with my ITcertification?It’s not called “internationalrec

ognised” for nothing because thesequalifications are accepted all overthe world.If you are a certified professional

doors open for you from America toDubai and Europe.And if things are still sweet for IT

workers in SA, they are even betterabroad.IT recruitment is up 11% in the

United States where a 2009 Computerworldmagazine survey identified web developers, network administrators and information security managers as jobs that receivedhigherthanaverage pay hikes.In Europe a survey of 300 compa

ny managers showed that twothirds of themwere planning to hireadditional IT staff in the comingyear, with a third reporting: “ITworkers are getting harder to find.”

Who offers the best and cheapestIT training in SA?IT Business Campus (ITBC) has

over a decade of experience when itcomes to supplying certified professionals to bluechip corporate clients and has managed to leverageit’s influence to provide a costeffective route to getting certified.This includes the traditionally

costly ProMetric testing which isavailable at all ITBC campuses.

ITBC offers hundreds of certification options from every availablecompany and is the cheapest youwill find anywhere – guaranteed.The ITBC advantage lies in it’s ad

vanced selfstudy format backed byexpert online instructors and advanced multimedia controls thatreplicate the classroom experiencewherever you can plug in a computer and log into the internet.Access to the ITBC hub and

courseware provides everything astudent needs to achieve internationally recognised IT certification,including labs, exercises and practice exams.It’s never been easier to make the

leap into a growing industry and receive world class training.

Sounds great, how do I find outmore?ITBCwill hold open days fromNo

vember and offers discounts of up to50% for those who book courses online. To learn more about ITBC, takean aptitude test or discuss your certification options and career pathwith our expert advisors.Contact them on (021) 671 3104,

People’s Post Woodstock-Maitland LEADER Tuesday 30 October 2012

Cheap justice?IN ONE case the wheels of justice have cometo a halt. President Jacob Zuma has with-drawn his lawsuit against cartoonist Jonath-an “Zapiro” Shapiro.The Zapiro cartoon, published by a Sunday

newspaper in September 2008, depicts thepresident with a shower on his head and hispants undone. “Lady Justice” is pinned downby former ANC Youth League president Ju-lius Malema, Cosatu general secretary Zwel-inzima Vavi, SA Communist Party generalsecretary Blade Nzimande and ANC secre-tary generalGwedeMantashe, all saying: “Gofor it, boss”.Zuma had, at the time, been acquitted of

rape. He also had a long-running battleagainst corruption charges with Thint, aFrencharmscompany.The corruption charg-es have been dropped as the National Prose-cuting Authority reportedly said there wasrecorded evidence of interference in the case.The R5m lawsuit – first reduced to R4m

with the impairment of dignity aspectdropped, then reduced to R100 000 for defama-tion and an unconditional apology – has beengoing since December 2008.It was withdrawn yesterday.Presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj

said Zuma wanted to avoid setting a legalprecedent which could limit “the public exer-cise of free speech”.Zapiro has called it a “great victory for free-

dom of expression, satire and for comment”.The political power play cannot be ignored.Political figureheads are fair game for the

media. These may all be true.Putting aside the issues of freedom of ex-

pression, the imagery of the rape of Lady Jus-tice leaves a bitter aftertaste.Perhaps without intending to, the cartoon

may be seen as transcending the boundariesof good taste.Whatdoes the cartoon say toanywoman who has ever been violated like this?This country has a very high incidence of

rape – committed by men of all backgrounds.Making fun of politicians in this way may

reverberate with the sound of a hollow victo-ry after all.

express train 0124 was sent on Tuesday 2 Octo-ber: Please can there be an inspection earlymorning before trains leave their positions. Thesecond carriage (11 949) in train 0124 hadhumanfaeces on the floor. (It was) smelly and very un-pleasant.Emergency clean-ups should be part ofMetro-

my emailwas sent to (the) CleaningDepartmenton Friday 12 October.

riage, since the doors would not open.The emergency red button at the train doors

did not work. People climbed off the train be-tween carriages.(There was) no Metrorail person in sight.None of the emergency buttons worked. None

of the doors would open.One of the carriage doors was prised open by

a guys to allow others to jump off onto thetracks.We are all individuals with families and

would appreciate it if Metrorail would commu-nicate any delays via your intercom systems or“tweet”.The train driver didn’t seem to know what to

do. She didn’t know why the doors would notopen. She didn’t seem to understand what washappening. She could not advise us.ROZZIEmailMetrorail Regional Manager MthuthuzeliSwartz responds: “I am most concerned aboutthe complaints.

“I am extremely pleased with thestandard of play in this tourna-ment. Our shuttlers have gainedvaluable experience from this com-petition,” says Keys.

“This tournament will hold themin good stead in competing on theinternational circuit. The ProteaBadminton team competed in theLondon Olympics and we are in-deed proud of their performance.”

Walking the talkto raise fundsLIAM MOSES

INSTEAD of throwing a party, aMitchell’s Plain communityworker will celebrate his 50thbirthday by tackling a 50kmwalk to raise funds for charity.

Keith Meyer, from Strandfon-tein, is founder ofMakingan Im-pact Through Sport (MITS), anNGO which provides extra-mu-ral sport and physical educationcoaching at several schools inMitchell’s Plain.

On Sunday 11 November, theday after he turns 50,Meyerwillwalk the Discovery Cape TimesBig Walk in hopes of raisingenough money to send at leastone of the organisation’s 10 un-paid volunteers on a coachingcourse.

“The funds are so that we canpay towards the training ofcoaches for either a qualifica-tion in sports management orcoaching science,” says Meyer.

“They help the communityand now they can get somethingback from the community.Hopefully it will create job op-portunities or open doors forthem as coaches.”

MITS runs the mandated cur-ricular physical education pro-grammes at 10 schools in Len-tegeur, Portlands, Tafelsig andRocklands and also providescoaching for soccer, volleyball,softball and other sports.

The organisation works withup to 1 000 pupils at each schoolevery week, and also runs theMitchell’s Plain girls footballleague and other regular sportsevents for children from all theschools in Mitchell’s Plain.

All the programmes are runby local volunteers, as well asvolunteers from Europeancountries such as the Nether-lands andGermany.Meyer sayshe hopes the courses will help tomake the local volunteers moreemployable.

“Some of them are fortunatein that they receive stipendsfrom the schools. The schoolsare able to generate the incomeand are able to assist some of thevolunteers,” says Meyer.

“They work for a full year,and not getting paid takes a lotof commitment from the volun-teers..”

However, with just over aweek to go until the walk, MITShas not yet raised enough mon-ey to send one of the volunteerson the course. Only R1 500 of therequired R8 000 course costs forone person has been raised sofar.

Meyer hopes to raise thefunds by having people donatetowards each kilometre hewalks.

Children at the schools wherehis organisation works havestarted donating small changetowards the cause.

Meyer will be joined by aDutch volunteer who previous-ly assisted at MITS. She has or-ganised a 10km walk in herhome town to coincide withMeyer’s walk. The funds raisedwill go towards MITS.

The organisation is also col-lecting second-hand takkies andsoccer boots for pupils.

Anyone interested in assist-ing MITS can contact Meyer on079 597 0012.

Lace up those takkiesLIAM MOSES

A DEARTH of recreational facili-ties has prompted a Wynberg cou-ple to strap on their walking shoes.Now they’re inviting others to jointhem.

Norman and Marlene Samuelshave been involved in soccer at theCape District LFA for 52 and 48years respectively.

Other than the soccer fields atWilliam Herbert Sports Complex,the couple says Wynberg doesn’thave any recreation facilities and ithas become unsafe to walk alongthe roads of the area.

Norman Samuels says the clubwill allow residents to exercise andsocialise safely in their suburb.

The Samuels couple have “al-ways walked on Rosmead Avenue”,until a man was killed opposite therace course in 2009. “Since that timewe have been scared to walk,” saysNormal Samuels.

But no longer. After initiallylooking to join a walking club, thecouple decided to start a club inWynberg.

“Here are many people in Wyn-berg, (including) senior folk, butno-one wants to do anything.”

Called the Battswood WalkingClub, it is affiliated to the soccerclub the couple has been a part offor many years.

They aim to host walks at Wil-liam Herbert, where they also hopeto have a walking track marked off

for walkers around the fields.While it is envisaged the clubwill

take part in walking events, Mar-lene Samuels says it will be more ofa social than competitive club.

“Wynberg has two old age homesand quite a few crèches and thereis nothing for them to do,” saysSamuels.“It’s not going to be a competitivesport. It’s going to be social walkingmore than anything else.”

Samuels adds that the club hopesto have a strong community aspectas many elderly residents of Wyn-berg are starved of recreational ac-tivities for most of the year.

The club is set to launch at theWilliam Herbert on Sunday 18 No-vember.

For more information call Mar-lene or Norman Samuels on(021) 761 7409.

Former Bafanastars take chargeat Old MutualLIAM MOSES

OLDMUTUAL Football Club will now beable to call on the experience of threeformer Bafana Bafana players in theirfight for survival in the second division(formerly the Vodacom League) this sea-son.

The club was recently bought from the in-surance firm by former Bafana strikerGeorge Dearnaley. He has brought on boardGerald Stober and Mark Anderson, who alsorepresented South Africa, as head coach andgoalkeeping coach respectively.

Dearnaley says he decided to bring Stoberand Anderson to the team because theyshared a similar football philosophy and be-cause of their experience.

He says Anderson does a goalkeeper’s ses-sion once a week, while Stober, who has beencoaching Rygersdal, was “keen to” join OldMutual FC.

“Even though I am the owner, (Stober) isthe head coach. I let him make his deci-sions,” says Dearnaley.

The club has also roped in former Spring-bok and Western Province loose forwardBobby Skinstad to sit on its advisory boardand the Old Mutual football academy, whichalso belongs to the insurance firm, is cur-rently headed by Roger Links, who also rep-resented Bafana.

Dearnaley started out his professional ca-reer with AmaZulu in Durban and alsoplayed for Hellenic and Seven Stars.

He earned three caps for South Africa andwent on to coach the Ajax Cape Town juniorteam after retiring.

The Claremont resident bought Old Mutu-al FC as a way to give back to South Africanfootball.

He says the team’s main goal will be to de-velop players, and not to earn promotion tothe National First Division.

“We are not going to try to win the league.We want to develop some players. We wantto be a development side, so that in a coupleof years’ time we can point at about six orseven players in the Premier Soccer League(PSL) and say they came through our team,”says Dearnaley.

“There are quite a few rich owners pump-ing money into the game, which is fantastic.Players are earning decent salaries at thislevel, which is great, but I don’t have themoney to compete with those types of own-ers. Realistically I can’t try to win the leaguewhen some clubs have a salary bill ofR100 000 a month, whereas we will probablyhave a bill of R100 000 a year on transportcosts.”

Dearnaley’s side has already played threegames this season, losing 2-1 to Ajax in thefirst game and 1-0 to Steenberg United beforebeating Stellenbosch University 2-1 on Fri-day night.

As part of the deal to purchase the club,the team will keep the same name and col-ours and remain at their training ground inPinelands, next to Old Mutual’s head office,for at least the next two years.
