Is Marion a sinking ship?TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Marion Institute’s future looks bleakafter allegations have been airedabout mismanagement by those in

authority.Battle lines were drawn by the Institute’s

committee factions last year, People’s Postreported, but over the past year it seemsthings have gone from bad to worse at thecentre in Woodstock.

The Institute, which will be a century oldnext year, houses two nursery schools, sen-ior clubs, a community hall where commu-nity events and a Sunday church servicetake place, and other recreational activities.The community is worried that if nothing isdone they will lose the Institute.

The stalling of the annual general meeting

(AGM) is making community members un-certain about the future of the Institute.

The committee, which is supposed to haveat least 22 members, has five members.

This year’s AGM was to be held in Septem-ber, but it still has not taken place. It is thesecond consecutive year the AGM is not hap-pening. This time around the AGM is nottaking place because the chairperson claimsthe financial report is not ready.

Loiusa Bizaare, chairperson of the Insti-tute, says the AGM will happen next year.

“The AGM is not happening because thefinancials are not ready. I can’t stand infront and present something that is not au-dited. As soon as the audit is done, we willhave an AGM. It didn’t happen last year, butwe are pushing this year’s one to next yearbefore the end of the financial year.”

Community members and some employ-

ees believe the AGM would resolve the messthe Institute finds itself in.

According to Peter Agulhas, the managingdirector who was recently dismissed, the fi-nancial report is finished. “I was supposedto do the financials; I did them and finishedin time. I handed them to the bookkeeper,who confirmed to me that everything wouldbe ready in time for the AGM. Now I reallydon’t understand what’s happening. Every-thing was ready, we just wonder why theAGM is not happening. We want the AGMand we want the Institute to be saved. Thisplace is for the community and they have toaccount to the community. We can’t allowindividuals to rob the community,” he says.

A community member who refused to benamed says the board members make deci-sions without consulting others and that isnegatively affecting the institute too.

“It’s a mess. They are ruling like they ownthe place. People are not being paid and wedon’t know what they are doing with themoney,” she says.

“We have been calling for the AGM so thatwe can resolve these problems, but theydon’t want to have it, because they knowtheir mess will filter through.

“This is a beautiful place and it benefitsthe community a lot, but the people that areworking there are unhappy. There has beena drop in the number of people who use thecentre and that is affecting a lot of people,especially the staff. They don’t know wheth-er they are coming or going.

Bizaare says: “Everything is going well atthe Institute. There are people who arescared when a spade is called a spade. Weare enforcing a lot of rules and regulationsand we have nothing to hide.”

40th SpringQueen crownedEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

In what has become an iconic Cape Townevent over the years, the annual Spring

Queen pageant celebrated its 40th anniver-sary at Athlone Stadium on Saturday.Pageant organiser Sactwu says the compe-

tition continues to inspire those working inoften testing circumstances to show off theirbest work and be recognised for it, whilst al-so highlighting the plight of clothing andtextile workers.“The Spring Queen has grown from

strength to strength over the years,” saysNazmia Leite, Sactwu spokesperson.The event is the largest fashion show fea-

turing workers as the models.“Even though the event was faced with its

most challenging issue,with theCity ofCapeTown denying us the use of our historic ven-ue, the Good Hope Centre, we still had 64women competing for the title and over 7500people attending at Athlone stadium.”

The crowd was treated to a spectacle andeventually witnessed Zubeida Beyers-Mag-gott (28), from the Top Stitch factory in SaltRiver, crowned as this year’s Spring Queen.The Bonteheuwel resident won a holiday

to Mauritius to go with her R35 000 studybursary.First princess was Chavanne Arendse

from Trade Call Investments Apparel(TCIA) and second princess, was BarrieCline Factory’s Tammy Carr.Other winners on the night included

Chrystal Jaggers (Miss Personality) andCheryl Anne Witbooi, who was judged to bethe best dressed model at the pageant.A new “own talent” competition has been

added to the event. Now in its fifth year, itis gaining momentum. It aims to give ordi-nary workers the chance to show off theirtalents, be it throughmusic, dance or drama.Leite says a new part of the pageant, the

Junior Spring Queen, aims to create and in-crease awareness amongyoungpeople of theimportance of buying local.

Bundles of pages from local author LaurenBeukes’s latest book have been trans-formed into artworks by more than 130 ofSouth Africa’s top creatives. The artworkshave been sold to raise funds to bring thejoy of reading to more children.All proceeds from the exhibition will go

towards Book Dash, and will allow for theprinting and distribution of storybooks tochildren in need. For each artwork sold,150 illustrated children’s books will beprinted and distributed.The project has been sponsored by Nan-

do’s and has seen curator Jacki Lang selectemerging local artists, designers, illustra-tors, architects and photographers – in-cluding Brett Murray, Conrad Botes, Gab-by Raaff, Kilmany-Jo Liversage, LienBotha, Liza Grobler, Matthew Hindley,Mia Widlake, Paul Senyol and artists fromthe Nando’s Art Initiative.The works are created from or on pages

torn from Beukes’s most recent novel Bro-ken Monsters.“I tore a few pages out of the book at a

time, tied them in a bundlewith twine, andhanded them out to the artists in personand via post. The artists could choosewhich pages in their ‘random’ bundle theywanted to create artworks on. For everyartist that selection is their own process,”explains Lang.“Some of the artworks relate to the

words and story on that particular pageand some don’t. There were also some art-ists who asked for extra bundles of pagesso that they could contribute more art-works to the exhibition and the cause.”Beukes loves art and artists and often in-

cludes them in her stories, says Nando’s

Art Initiative spokesperson LouiseMcCann.“Since her book Moxyland she has run

collaborations with artists around her sto-ries. When Lauren launched her interna-tional bestseller The Shining Girls herfriend Jacki Lang, an ace curator based in

Cape Town, suggested to Lauren that theycreate an exhibition where artists createartworks on pages torn from The ShiningGirls as a fundraiser for a charity,” shesays.That art showwas a success, with all the

artworks sold in ten minutes and R100 000raised for Rape Crisis in Cape Town.Book Dash is a charity close to Beukes’s

heart.“Reading is about understanding the

world and who we are in it. Stories allowus to live other lives, to spend time in some-one else’s head, to feel empathy. Stories al-low us to be more than we are. It’s a bigtheme in Broken Monsters – the doors inour heads. So Book Dash felt like the per-fect charity partner. What could be betterthan using a book to create accessible artto fund more stories with art that becomeaccessible books in the hands of kids?” shesays.Book Dash co-founder Arthur Attwell

says children in South Africa need morebooks, but they cost too much.“The cheapest books have no publisher

– then the only cost is printing. So our par-ticipants do thework of publishers in a sin-gle day. After that, anyone can get printruns sponsored andput finishedbooks intothe hands of children,” he explains.“We believe every child should own a

hundred books by the age of five. In SouthAfrica, that means giving 600 million freebooks to children who could never affordto buy them.”

From a thriller comes children’s books

Artworks inspired by local author Lauren Beukes’s latest book have been sold to raise fundsfor a children’s literacy project.

No hope for ownhouse anymoreTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Cynthia Chivambo (59) from Maitland haslost all hope of ever receiving a house

from the government, because she has beenon the waiting list for the past 16 years.

The mother of two has a husband who isin a wheelchair and she says life has beenunbearable for them.

Her wish is to get a house so that she canlook after he husband properly but all shehas got over the years in trying to enquireabout her house is being sent from pillar topost.

She used to go the human settlements de-partment all the time to check if she wouldget a house and time and again she was toldto wait.

She says she can’t wait any more and herbiggest fear is to die without a house.

“I don’t want to leave my children strug-gling. I have suffered a lot without a house.You have to move around and people withhouses treat you badly. I don’t know whatto do anymore, because I’m being told towait. For how long must I wait?,” she says.

Chivambo says the people she appliedwith have houses now but she is still wait-ing.

“It’s difficult to be with a husband whois not healthy and I have to worry about aplace to stay. It gives me sleepless nights tothink that up to this day I still don’t havea house.”

The unemployed mother says she ispleading for a good Samaritan to help herso that she dies in peace.

“I’m pleading for someone who can helpme get a house. I don’t care where it is, Iwill go. All I want is a roof over my headand a safe place for my children. If I can getsomeone to build me a house, I will be very

happy,” she saysZalisile Mbali, spokesperson of the de-

partment of human settlements, confirmsthat Chivambo registered with the City ofCape Town in 1999.

“She is among over 500 000 people who arewaiting for housing opportunities in theprovince. When her opportunity comes shewill receive her house. It is rather difficultto say why it has taken long, as there arepeople who have been waiting for far longerthan her,” he says.

A quick response to a panic alarm saved anObservatory woman’s life.

When securities responded to a panicalarm they found a homeowner bleeding aft-er being stabbed by an unknown intruderduring the course of a robbery at her house.

Between two and four robbers forced theirway into her house, and managed to flee thescene before ADT or the police arrived.

Arriving at the scene, ADT armed re-sponse officer Mervin Faro immediatelycalled for police and medical backup andstayed with the victim until the paramedicsarrived.

The victim, who spoke on condition of ano-nymity, says she doesn’t want to go through

this experience again.“I am incredibly grateful at how quickly

officer Faro arrived on the scene after thepanic button was activated, and for stayingwith me until the paramedics and police ar-rived,” she says.

She is currently recovering from the inci-dent.

Jade Hanning, ADT’s district manager,says there are safety measures that home-owners can put in place.

“Home safety starts with some generalprecautions. Everyone in the home mustknow how to summon emergency servicesand operate the home security system,” hesays.

Tips.The garage and outbuilding must be lockedwhen not in use.. Ensure that your gate and driveway iswell-lit and ensure that you can easily exit.. You can request that your armed responseservice meets you at home.. Security gates or safety chains on doorsmust always be used.. Investigate with caution if dogs bark per-sistently.. Lock the internal doors of rooms that arenot in use at night.. Consider activating the alarm for those ar-eas of the home that are unoccupied at night.. Keep your cellphone by the bedside.

“Should you fall victim to a home invasionit is important to stay calm,” says Hanning.. Avoid aggravating your attackers andmake it clear that you will cooperate.. Hand over valuables and property if theydemand it.. Be observant and take particular notice ofany voice, dress or behavioural traits.. Only fight back or try to escape when yourlife or that of a loved one is in grave danger.. Close and lock the doors immediately andcall for help by activating the home alarm.

Hanning suggests that everyone get in-volved with their local neighbourhoodwatch, even if you already have the servicesof an armed response company on call.

Fourteen parent and child teams from allover came to cook it out and compete for theBest Cupcake and Best Burger titles andprizes. The teams were made up of mother-and-son, mother-and-daughter and father-and-son combinations.

Each parent-child team was given thechallenge of baking and decorating cup-cakes andmaking burgers. To add a uniquetaste to their creations, theywerealso giventhe opportunity to include their favouriteSpur sauce as an ingredient.Hosted by food celebrity Justine Drake,

the event kicked off with baking and deco-rating cupcakes. Each team was judged ontheir ability towork together, howcreative-ly they decorated the cupcake and how thecupcake tasted.

Shona Breytenbach and her 8-year-olddaughter Faye won the Best Cupcake prize.The burger challenge was judged on

working together, the taste of the patty andthe ingredients used as toppings for theburger.

The Best Burger prize went to Lezaan Da-vids-Downes and her 9-year-old son Thor-ique Davids. Apart from cooking the pattyto perfection, their combination of toppings(mashed avocado, cheese, tomatoes, pep-pers) was delicious, the judges said.Joe Stead, creative director of Spur Steak

Kids’ hospitalhonours foundersTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The Red Cross War Memorial Children’sHospital honoured its founders at the an-

nual Remembrance Day celebration onWednesday last week.

The day is celebrated on 11 November tohonour the World War II servicemen whodonated two days of their pay towards whatwas to become the Red CrossWarMemorialChildren’s Hospital.

Their vision then was to create a livingmemorial in honour of their fallen com-rades. Today, the world-class hospital savesthe lives ofmore thanaquartermillion chil-dren each year. Next year the hospital willcelebrate 60 years.

Military dignitaries in regiment uni-forms have gathered with their families onthe hospital’s premises on RemembranceDay each year since 2011, and a ceremonytakes place to pay tribute to the heroes who

originated the iconic hospital.The ceremony has grown in stature and

attendance and this year more than 150guests and members of the public attended.Liz Linsell of the Children’s Hospital

Trust says it is important that they ac-knowledge and remember the veteranswhowere so instrumental in the founding of thehospital.In 1945, it was suggested that a children’s

hospital be built as amemorial to thosewhohad contributed by sacrifice, suffering andservice in World War II.Itwas felt that childrenhadbeen the inno-

cent victims of the war, so the hospital wasdevoted to the relief of the suffering of chil-dren.The building commenced in 1953 under

the guidance of the SouthAfricanRedCrossSociety at a cost of R1.6m.

In 1956 the ownership of the hospital washanded over to the Western Cape govern-ment.

It’s been about a year since internationalsinger Charl “Babyboy” Pilwan told Peo-ple’s Post he wanted to return to South Afri-ca.Born and raised in Retreat, Charl, who

now lives in Woodstock, has spent the last13 years working in Asia and America, butsays he’s been spending a lot more time at“home” lately.After releasing his single “Apple green

Datsun” earlier this year, Charl says he’sbeen in Cape Town since May, which hasbeen the longest time he’s spent in the cityfor years.The song, which celebrates Cape Town,

has been received very well. It was down-loaded 5000 times within the first week of itsrelease and Charl says fans can expect tohear a house remix of “Apple green Datsun”soon.“It’s been amazing,” he says.

Music video winsCharl, who has previously said that he is

always going to be “a coloured boy from Re-treat”, received arguably the best welcomehomewhenhewasacknowledgedat theCapeFlats Film Festival.Hewon theBestVideo award for themusic

It’s the first time he’s been recognised inthis way in his home country.The festival took place across Cape Town

and the nominated music videos werescreenedat schools across theCapeFlats andpupils got to vote for their favourites.The fact that the schoolchildren liked his

work was a great affirmation for Charl, buthe points out that they did have questions,like why “a coloured boy from Retreat” wassinging predominantly English songs.Charl grew up speaking English and stud-

ies abroad, giving him a “more rounded”sound, which also helps him cater to a largeraudience.His new single “Can’t figure it out” is cur-

rently playing on Heart 104.9FM and otherradio stations, but he’s already working onnew material, including house versions ofthis single and his next one, “Love is some-thing else”.Hismain focusat themoment is promoting

his music locally. Charl, who has workedwith the likes of Chris Brown, Nelly and Ne-Yo, is working on building a sustainable ca-reer for himself in Cape Town, so that he caneventually live here permanently.He plans to play many shows and festivals

in the area over the festive season.“I’m just enjoying being home.”

Future plansThat being said, he’s still writing and pro-

ducing for international artists.He is planning to fly musicians in from

New York and Liverpool to help him workon his new album in South Africa.He hopes to release it inMay, as a birthday

present to himself.In between, Charl is also working on his

autobiographywithDallas ghost writer Jen-ny Block, to tell the story of his career whichhas taken him across the globe.“I want people to understand the real me.”In the meantime, fans can catch Charl in

action when he performs a free show at theSlug andLettuce at theRiverClub inObserv-atory on Sunday from noon to 15:00.V Call 021 448 7906 for more information or to bookfor the show. Visit the Babyboy Entertainment Face-book page for more about Charl and his upcomingshows.

Sign language bridgescommunicationTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Sign language was originally developedfor people with hearing problems, but

it has evolved to now also benefit peoplewith intellectual disabilities who have dif-ficulty communicating verbally.This is according to Dr Nashareen Mor-

ris, clinical functional business unit man-ager at Alexandra Hospital in Maitland,who says that sign language provides abridge to support not only intellectuallydisabled individuals, but also hearing in-dividuals whose ability to communicateverbally have been compromised due tohealth-related issues such as a stroke andthose with special needs.Identifying the unique benefits of sign

language, a group of staff members fromboth the clinical and non-clinical depart-ments of Alexandra Hospital participatedin a twodayBasic SouthAfricanSignLan-guageworkshop to help them in communi-cating with their colleagues and patients.Apart from the communication bene-

fits, sign language has many advantages.“Sign language will enable our person-

nel to engage with our patients and col-leagues more easily. This will undoubted-ly reduce negative social behaviours, in-crease social interaction, create andmaintain favourable relationships, whilestimulating speech and language develop-ment,” says Morris.

Hosted by Tiny Hands, a qualified signlanguage training agency, staff memberswere informed about the advantages ofSign Language and were give guidelineson the learning and teaching of sign lan-guage in different environments such asat home, school or the workplace.

Over the two day workshop, more than250 signs were taught to the participants,who also had an opportunity to identifykey challenges while engaging in interac-tive group sessions. Each employee re-ceived a certificate upon completion of theworkshop.

Staff members of Alexandra Hospital in Maitland learnt the basics of South African signlanguage recently.

KNOW HOW TO DO GOOD: Volunteers from Factreton, Kensington, Klipheuwel andPhisantekraal received training in flood and firewise communitybased risk assessmentat the disaster risk management training centre. After completing the training theywere awarded with certificates.

Residents can rest assured that they cancallon the best to rescue them in emergencies.The City of Cape Town’s fire and rescue

services has just been named the best inSouth Africa.It is the overall winner of the South Afri-

can Emergency Services Institute (Saesi)challenge, after scooping more than half ofthe prizes in the individual items of thechallenge.The Saesi rescue challenge, which took

place in Gauteng last week, lets all profes-sional fire and rescue service departmentsaround the country compete against eachother.TheCity’s fire andrescue service teamex-

celled in the separate challenges:. The City won second place overall, re-

ceiving the Best Technical Team prize, inthe vehicle extrication challenge.

. The City won first and second prizeoverall in the medical challenge.

. The City won first prize overall in thehigh-angle challenge.

. The City took first, second and thirdplace (in both individual men, women andmixed team categories) in the firefighterteam challenge.

The looming national water crisis is closer to home thanyou may think.Water shortages may seem far from the daily reality of

most Capetonians, but savingwater is not just the respon-sibility of those without any.SouthAfrica is facing itsworst drought in over two dec-

ades and our clean water supply is under heavy strain.Local government has announced that it may imple-

ment water savings targets from as soon as next monthand the provincial government is already looking at pre-cautionary restrictions for areas such as the Karoo andWest Coast.It’s only a matter of time before Cape Town starts feel-

ing the pinch too.And although a lack of water is an inconvenience to us

in our homes, it is devastating to the agricultural sector.This means not only will we be heading into a drought,

we will also possibly face food shortages, suffer a rise infood prices and see an increase in the cost of living asa result.It paints a gloomy picture for the upcoming year.But there is something we can do now: Save water.It sounds simple enough, but every day we waste litres

of water through carelessness.Simple acts, such as ensuring your pipes have no leaks

and not watering your garden or filling your pool duringthe day, go a long way to saving water.In fact, put away your hosepipe.Water your plantswith

a watering can and wash your car with a bucket – you’llbe conscious of how much water you’re using and savesome in the process.Don’t leave open taps running while you wash your

hands or brush your teeth, and shower with purpose –the time for leisurely long showers is over.Saving water is our responsibility and we need to start

doing it right now – because saving water when there isnone is too late.

Keep yourself off victim listThe Christmas holidays are almost uponus. It is a time of being in a festivemood and a time where lots of money isspent on Christmas shopping. This isalso the time criminal elements – due tothis festive atmosphere – are active inall forms and place many on their victimlists. We have to help ourselves, ourfellow human beings and law enforce-ment agencies in fighting crime and sobecome crime preventers. I want toshare a few of my “Christmas crime-curbing contributors”.Arm yourself with self-defence prod-

ucts such as a can of pepper or macespray. Never place yourself in the line ofdanger or resist if you are being robbed.Never carry large sums of money onyour person.Make sure that you know exactly

where and with whom your children areand take measures to protect yourchildren even if you are not around.Take regular pictures of your children.Never lose sight of your child while in apublic place and never ask a stranger to

look after your child.Leaving home, make sure every door

and window is locked and when using aremote wait till all gates are closedbefore driving off. Form a system withneighbours and inform each other ofyour comings and goings.Buckle up and always lock your doors.

Obey the laws and rules of the road.Place all valuables in your car’s boot.

When going on trips make sure your caris in a complete roadworthy conditionand inform family and friends of yourroute and destination and arrival. Do notdrink and drive and remember speedkills. Hold on to your handbags, purses,wallets and cellphones in crowded shopsand especially at New Year’s Evecelebrations.At shopping centres make physical

contact with car guards when parkingyour vehicle. In the event of a robberyor shots being fired fall flat, making youmuch less of a target or a hostage. Neverlook a robber in their face or challengethem. Place your money in different

places on your clothing.Avoid exposing cellphones in public

and only use them in public if theenvironment is safe.When going to the beach make sure of

weather conditions, place a long ropewith a small life buoy or small inflatedcar tube in the car’s boot, just in caseyou have to be a life saver or can be avaluable contributor to a life-savingexercise. Do not take alcohol to thebeach as it is against the law.Never ask anyone for help at an ATM

machine. All card transactions must takeplace in your presence. Never let thecard leave your presence or eyesight.When in a an establishment where

alcohol is served, make sure what isbeing poured into your glass. Know yourlegal limit.Make sure your pets’ pictures are

updated. When making trips ensurethere are also plans made for your pets.These hints are to be shared.

KEITH BLAKEOttery

#GuyFawkesMustFallResidents have no respect for neighbourswho have pets. It’s clear that the Cityand police don’t do enough to enforce thelaw.What benefit does it have for the

community – (it) only benefits themanufacturers and do they in any wayplough it back into communities that areso much in need?

RIDWAAN NEROWestgate

Neighbour’s my heroOur neighbour, Derek Peters, is doing asterling job by collecting all bins in closeproximity to his house in Perth Road.He stacks them neatly on his side of

the road all ready for when the trucksarrive and returns it to the houses,leaving no mess in the road.Thank you, Derek – a real boy scout.

BERYL REYNOLDS,Grassy Park

Support local businessI want to urge all the residents to makegood use of what’s in our ward.Residents should be aware that we

need to make use of local facilities.If residents of the ward use library

facilities in other wards instead of ourown facilities, it impacts on circulationand membership statistics, which has aknock-on effect on upgrading andfunding and staffing. The bottom line is,by not using facilities in the ward, itcan negatively impact on our fundingand potential upgrading and evensponsorship opportunities.The same goes for shopping. I would

prefer residents to do the bulk of theirshopping by supporting the local busi-nesses – support the Pick n Pay, Spar,Shoprite or other supermarkets in theward instead of shopping at the biggershopping malls outside our area.If we don’t support local businesses,

they will not be economically viable.Local businesses will have to close downand leave us with no option but to doour shopping in the malls. However, ifwe do the bulk of our weekly or month-ly shopping at shops in the ward, thosebusinesses will prosper and it canpotentially pave the way for moreemployment opportunities.Residents must also report wrong

things or what they want fixed in theward through the C3 system or come tomy office. If the residents in our wardalso report problems, things can befixed. However, we must also movebeyond complaining. Report people whodump their rubbish on sidewalks andopen fields – take photos, don’t letpeople get away with making slums ofour communities.

The Magnet Theatre in Observatory willcaptivate young audiences when it

presents its early years theatre festivalfrom Wednesday 2 to Saturday 12 Decem-ber.

The daily line-up will include a show forchildren younger than seven, as well as onespecifically designed for mothers and ba-bies up to one year old.

Each production has been designed tofascinate, engage and communicate withyoung minds while offering a unique,South African storytelling experience.Scoop: Kitchen Play for Moms and Babes

is for children from two weeks to 12 monthsand will be staged daily at 10:00. The SouthAfrican first uses sounds, lights and tex-tures to entertain babies in a contained andrelaxing space designed to accommodateindividual attention.

Three to seven year olds will enjoy Ekha-ya at 11:30 before Knock! which will be onstage at 14:30.Ekhaya explores a child’s understanding

of being “at home”, in various contexts, us-ing catchy original songs, music and vi-brant visual images in English, Afrikaansand Xhosa.Knock! is a discovery of wood: Its sounds,

what it can do and what it can make. Stimu-lating for the imagination, the cast createstrange and magical animals and imageswith shaped pieces of forest wood, interact-ing with the children through song,rhythms and sounds.

The Magnet Early Years Theatre Compa-ny is an initiative to train young theatremakers in the field of early childhood devel-opment theatre, and create these three newproductions this year.

“Research has shown that theatre as ameans of intensive communication canstimulate babies’ neural pathways, whichare being formed at this young age,” Mag-net co-founder Jennie Reznek explains.

“It’s a moment of concentrated interac-tion, delicately and carefully crafted for themothers and their babes and suggests howrich the connection and conversation canbe, even with the smallest of babies.”V Tickets for Ekhaya and Knock! cost R50 each foradults and R30 for children while tickets for Scoop:Kitchen Play for Moms and Babes cost R50 for oneparent and one baby.

Young onesto fill voidLYNN PRINS

@lynnie_prins

The committee of the CapeTown Softball Association(CTSA) is working hard to

keep the future of softball alivethrough the development of theyouth, including players asyoung as 4 years old.

With the numbers growingamong young players between 4and 13 year, there is still greatconcern within CTSA regardingthe older age group (15-year-olds).

“Not having the 15-year-oldage group available is quitechallenging in any sport, andfor us as a committee this is oneof the biggest challenges, as weneed them to fill senior levels,”says Noore Nacerodien, CTSAchairperson.

“There are not enough seniorteams and we would like the 15-year-olds, when they go beyondtheir age group, to play in thefourth league with seniors.”

However, CTSA is positiveabout the growth in the sportand says the way forward nowis to build relationships withschools.

This comes after government,Sascoc and Softball South Afri-ca instructed federations to ad-minister school sport.

According to CTSA the onlyway it will be beneficial for bothparties is to have a partnership.

“Many schools have alreadyapproached the federation di-rectly to play in the leagues.

“It is also possible for schoolsto play in our youth league un-der the school’s name. We willthen allocate a club to ‘adopt’

that school, and this is only ifthe school is not able to play inthe school league,” says Nacero-dien.

He also says in order to in-crease the number of childrenplaying, the sport should be de-centralised, as clubs are bat-tling financially to transport theplayers to Turfhall softball sta-dium every week.

“There are many venuesavailable that we can usethroughout the Cape metropole.This initiative will commenceon 28 November, where gameswill be played at the new softballfacility in Bishop Lavis.”

But apart from finding u.15sat schools, Pam Fredericks, alsoa committee member of CTSA,is already busy laying the foun-dation, starting with the PeeWee players (4 to 7 years old).

Fredericks, who initially re-quested Pee Wee softball fourseasons ago, feels there is a needto develop youngsters at an ear-ly age where they could betaught the basics first beforeprogressing to tee ball.

“Many little ones from theages of four played tee ball andwould be left out because theyare not aware of what to do. Atthe tender age of four, their con-centration span is very short.You need to meet them at theirlevel, which is why I requestedPee Wee softball.

“With the support of parentsSaturday mornings have nowbecome fun for the little oneswho are eager to be good softbal-lers one day.”V Parents interested in Pee Wee soft-ball can contact the Turfhall office on061 477 7882 for more information.

Milano United is slowly but sure-ly gaining ground at the top of Sa-fa’s ABC Motsepe Second Leaguecompetition. The team seems tobe well on track to keep in touchwith the top dogs by the timeChristmas comes.

Desmond Crowie, Milano’scoach, saw his team fight off thechallenges of FC Cape Town’sRebels team to win 3-1 in GrassyPark over the weekend.

The result means that Crow-ie’s charges now boast 10 points(three wins and a draw, with oneloss) after five league outings.

The Grassy Park team occu-

pies third place on the log – 1point behind defending champi-on Glendene United (11 points)and 5 points behind log leaderSteenberg United (15 points),who has already played sixleague games this season.

Nevertheless, Wade Crowie,son of former PSL player and starcoach Duncan Crowie (now ayouth coach at Ajax Cape Town),put in an excellent display toshowed great experience on thefield to place Milano United in awinning position, scoring off hisfirst two shots at goal.

The visitors then reduced thedeficit, but Ronwin George hadother plans and restored Mila-

no’s two-goal lead late in the sec-ond half with a well-taken goal ofhis own to secure a 3-1 win.

The players of St Martins soft-ball club were put throughtheir paces by Tantasports in

a Cape Town Softball Associationmatch at Turfhall on Saturday.

Had it not been for the eight runsscored in the sixth and seventh

frames, St Martins would havebeen staring down a comprehen-sive defeat in a tightly fought en-counter. Tantasport will feel harddone by following the hard work itput into the five frames precedingthe St Martins onslaught.

Tanta sprung into a 4-0 lead afterthe opening four frames, but couldnot add to its tally as it would suc-cumb 8-4 to St Martins.

The match saw five pitchersthrown into rotation, where Saintsmade use of three pitchers – Sha-nine Groepies, Lindsay Damonand Bonita Cloete. Between thethree of them, they saw off sevenbatters, striking one out while let-ting another three walk, concedingthree well-deserved hits, resultingin runs, where one intentionalwalk was conceded.

Saints’s third pitcher, Cloete,saw off 13 batters, striking out one,while conceding a hit through afielding error.

Only Aneeqa Davids (1-3) enKathryn van Boom (1-4) achievedjoy with the bat, being the onlyTantasport batters to obtain hits.

Nevertheless, they kept Saintshonest until conceding 9 hits offpitching sisters Roxanne Albertyn(5) and Justine Stewart (4).

For Saints, Danielle Ford (1-3)and Robin Packery (2-4) hit a homerun each and also accounted for six

RBIs amongst each other, whileAime Ford (1-2), Damon (1-2) andHanlynne Cast (2-3) also performedwell with powerful bats.

played to a 3-3 draw.Defending champion Glenthorn
