Trafalgar to be upgradedGARY VAN DYK

#gvdcapejazz

A landmark park in Woodstock is up foran upgrade and some residents in thearea feel it is long overdue.

Trafalgar Park was formally establishedin 1905 for the residents of District Six andwas then known as the East End Plantation.During the early decades of the 20th centu-

ry, this three hectare park consisted of a gar-denwith flowerbeds anda rose garden, simi-lar to the Company’s Garden during thesame period.

The southern extension of the park wascovered inpine trees,which extendedacrossthe lower slopes of Table Mountain. Thepark also contains the French Central Re-doubt (fort) which was declared a NationalMonument in 1968 and which has been up-graded.“However, over the years, the parkhasnot

been used optimally,” said the City’s Maycomember for energy, environmental and spa-tial planning, Johan van der Merwe.“Some upgrades have been done to the

heritage resources, swimming pool and fen-cing but the new emphasis is on integrating

the entire parkwhichwill encourage a senseof community ownership and increased useof the park by law-abiding local residentsand the community as a whole.“The City has followed an organised and

inclusive approach with local residents andbusiness to see how we can make our visionfor this historic park happen.”A vision plan was therefore drawn up, a

safety and security framework has been de-veloped, and the process of establishing atrust fund to manage private sector dona-tions has begun.“This is an important year for the resi-

dents of District Six especially and our hopeis that this public space can be changed intoa community and family-friendly space.”Gordon Richards, a long time resident,

whowas visiting a play park in the areawithhis grandchildren, felt that this would be agood move for the area.“Theparkhas always played a special part

in this community. As I child I can remem-ber the Christmas choirs performing here,and it was a favourite place to have yourwedding photo’s taken.“Mine were taken here,” he chuckles.

Richards also felt that the upgradesmust fo-cus on safety and security.“There must be some kind of control over

the park,” he says.“Sometimes there are just toomany unsa-

voury characters hanging around the placeand they interferewith the children. If thereis control, the park will become a place thatcan be enjoyed to the full.”With thehelpof the communities ofWood-

stock and District Six, an Integrated Man-agement Framework (IMF) for the park hasbeen developed which will help to drive thevision for the beautification, landscapingand heritage upgrades of the entire park.The focus of the IMF is not only on conser-

vation because the character of each pre-cinct within the park clearly dictates aunique approach for its development.There will therefore be an integrated

management approach to aid conservation,to encourage a greater use of open space,and to drive new development and land-scaped areas.Themost southern part of the park, south

of NelsonMandela Boulevard, also presentsnew opportunities within the District Sixcommunity for open space uses in conjunc-tion with the local communities.Once the plan is adopted by the communi-

ty and the sub-council, the City will startwith the phased planning of various up-grade projects.“Success will only be achieved if we all

work together towards the same goal,” con-cluded Van der Merwe.

DISTRICT SIX

More smiles than tears at galaGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

There was a buzz in the hall of BlackpoolSports Complex in Salt River on Satur-

day when more than 500 former residents ofDistrict Six gathered for a gala lunch.They were the guests of the District 6

Working Committee which hosted the eventin commemoration of the 50th anniversaryof 11 February 1966, when the area was pro-claimed a white area.For many bittersweet memories were

raised as they met up with former friendsand neighbours and shared their stories oftheir lives in the far-flung suburbs to whichthey were moved.Most of the area is still bare as ongoing

plans for restitution are still discussed, butfor most of these former residents theirheartache is still here. They all feel that thespirit of this vibrant community will neverbe regained.ShahiedAjam, chairperson of the commit-

tee, felt the gala lunchwas a special occasionbecause all the invited guests came from dif-ferent historically disadvantaged communi-ties who were previously affected by apart-heid and forced removals.“We hosted this event in remembrance of

the lives and livelihoods which were lostthrough the forced removals of yesteryear,”he said.“Forced removals changed the course of

the lives of thousands of people, when fami-lies were relocated to the treacherous andbarren Cape Flats.“We have recently formed a strategic part-

nershipwith theDistrict 6Museumwith thegoal of helpingpeople findways tomovepastthe pain, so that they can livemore fulfillinglives.

“We are working to ensure that people re-alise their worth once again and to more ac-tively contribute towards nation building inthis beautiful country of ours.”TheWorkingCommittee (D6WC) is a resti-

tution group which started in 2013 from anestimated 1000 frustrated people who didn’tclaim for restitution before the first officialcut-off date between 1995 and 1998, and whowere not recognised as eligible for restitu-tion.D6WC also acts as the flagship for all resti-

tution organisations in the Western Capeand assists many restitution community or-ganisations from areas such as Ndabeni,Claremont, Constantia, Wynberg, Newl-ands, Simon’s Town, Pinelands and Good-

wood.Listening to some of the conversations at

the tables while lunch was being served itwas clear that the memories were stillstrong after 50 years.Mogamat Salie Williams felt that one of

the most powerful aspects that made the ar-ea special was the respect and love for all re-ligions and the different churches.“My family lived in Richmond Street and

I attended theMoravian School and grew upin that church,” he says.“We attended mosque but the school and

churchwere important to our family and theeducation of the community.“When it was Easter we painted the

church, cleaned it and I even sang in the

choir sometimes. When it came to bazaartime all the churches and mosques support-ed each other.“That is the spirit that they can never

bring back.”Rashieda Essop, originally from Chapel

Street, had recently moved back to the area.Shewasdiscussingher experienceswithAb-dulgamied “Tommy” Hartley and his wifeGadija who used to live in Sydney Street.“I miss the open doors in our neighbour-

hood,” says Rashieda.“If you needed help no door was ever

closed to you. You knew if you gave some-body help this week, next week they wouldbe able to help you.“The saddest day for me was when our

neighbours had to move to Gugulethu. Myfather helped them organise a bakkie and hecried when he saw where they were movingto.”

Good timesThe Hartleys also have fond memories of

the area.“There are just somany stories of the good

times we had there. Yes, people were poor,but they still had pride and respect for eachother,” he said.“Of course there was crime, even gangs,

but these were different kind of gangsters.Theywere naughty but never nasty or want-ing to destroy the community.”These are just some of the stories that

were shared at this gathering, and as the aft-ernoonwore on thereweremore smiles thantears. For many old friendships were re-newed and there is hope for a new genera-tion to move into the area and rekindle thatspirit of the old District Six.V For more information about the working committeecontact Ajam on 076 665 6224.

Legend of athletics rememberedGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Sports stars of the Cape Flats during theapartheid era may not be known around

the world but they left a legacy that remainsrevered in their home towns long after theyleft these shores.One of the legends of South African athlet-

ics and baseball, Kenny Roman (69), died inBrisbane,Australia lastTuesdayafter a longbattle with cancer.Roman had a stellar career in the mid-

1960s as a sprint champion at Harold CressyHigh School and Hewat Teachers TrainingCollege. At that time the sprint distanceswere dominated for more than a decade byanother legend, Cecil Blows.Roman knocked him off his perch and

ruled the roost for the 100m for most of thenext decade. He held both theWestern Prov-ince andSouthAfrican records over this dis-tance.At Hewat Teachers Training College, he

ran a world-class time of 10.4 seconds.Paul Nash, South Africa’s top white

sprinter at the time ran 10.2, but benefitedfrom all the facilities and training opportu-nities under the apartheid government.Roman, from Maitland originally, also

played baseball for the Maitland Giants.From the late 1960s until he left in 1980, hewas their star pitcher and instrumental in

helping the club to theWP title on a fewocca-sions.Two years ago, Roman was brought back

to South Africa by Maitland’s communityorganisation, PlaySport4Life, to be inductedinto the inaugural Maitland Giants Hall ofFame.“It was a very emotional time,” said Miles

October, the head of PlaySport4Life, a localsports empowerment organisation.“Kenny was not well then, but he agreed

to come and join the other Maitland Giantslegends like George Fester, Danny Page,DennisMillar and Trevor Oldale at the cere-mony.“Maitland Giants, as a club, had, in effect,

been dormant for a number of years. I cansafely say that after that event,Kenny’s pres-ence sparked so much interest that the clubstarted up again and they are leading thepromotion league this season and are head-ing for the majors next year. Such was theaura about him.”Play Sport4Life had plans to appoint Ro-

man as its ambassador for athletics to nur-ture young talent, but while in Cape Townfor the Giants event, he took ill again andnever really recovered.“As a sprinter, he was built for speed. As

a pitcher for Maitland Giants he was peer-less. He wasn’t a big man, but he stood tall,very tall, in our community,” October said.“We should acknowledge our heroes in

their lifetime and honour their legacy andPlay Sport4Lifewill see to it that the legend

that is Kenny Roman will be acknowledgedappropriately.”HermanGibbs, sports writer and father of

cricketer Herschelle, was a top sprinter aswell during this era and says:“With the passing of Kenny last week, it

was a good time to reflect on my own athlet-ics career which started in earnest in 1968when I enrolled at Alexander Sinton.“Previously, I attended Wesley Training

College which back in the mid-sixties com-peted in the WP Schools C Section.“After winning the 1968 A Section 100m

boys u.17 final I was selected for the WPschools team that competed at the SAschools champs in Durban. The WP teamwas hosted by local families there and I end-ed sharing a room with Kenny in ReservoirHills. It was the start of a great friendship.“Kenny was at Hewat at the time.“We both ended up winning our events at

the SA champs.“I was four years younger and he set the

benchmark for me, as well as other up-and-coming sprinters, to aspire to greaterheights. I did learn a great deal from him ashewould unselfishly share his knowledge ofathletics. In 1972, when I was in my finalyear at Hewat, I was able to break his boysopen 100m and 200m records, and I’m surehe would have taken great delight in thosefeats, knowing that he played his part as ourrole model.”

Trainpassengers are often facedwith thechallenge of trains being late or, in theworst cases, being cancelled.Several locals have questioned wheth-

er Metrorail will ever get its ducks in arow.Most train commuters seem to dislike

the city’s train service because of the in-convenience it often brings.To give insight into what Metrorail is

going through, RichardWalker, regionalmanager for Metrorail in the province,recently briefed the StandingCommitteeon Transport and Public Works in theWestern Cape Provincial Parliamentabout the regular train delays.He said vandalism contributed to a de-

cline in the number of trains available.

He revealed that there were 293 regis-tered instances of vandalism and theftbetween March and December last year.Of the 88 train sets required for the

commuter needs in the province, only 81trains are operational after vandalism inOctober and November last year.Just one case of vandalism, in Khaye-

litsha in November last year, caused al-most 31 000 minutes of delay, as well as:

. 587 train cancellations;

. 1 323 train delays; and

. R343 000 in repair costs.Lennit Max, the DA’s provincial

spokesperson on transport and publicworks, says Metrorail does its best to ad-dress train delays and commuters mustchange their behaviour.“Train users must take ownership of

making their trains safer and reportthose responsible for vandalism.”

Vandalism caused delays


Calm on campus,but staff in fearGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

While calm seems to have settled on theUCT campus after a recent protest,

staff are still seething about the damagethat was done and threats they receivedfrom alleged Rhodes Must Fall members.One of the workers, who did not want to

be named, said that she and fellow workersfeared for their lives during the height ofthe protest.“The damage that they caused was terri-

ble,” she said.“Watching them burn valuable paintings

andbooks thatwere related to the apartheidstruggle was disgusting and they shouldhang their heads in shame.“[It] did their cause no good.”Another worker pointed out that they re-

ceived threats from protesters.“They must respect our right to want to

work if our duties have no bearing on theirprotests,” he said. “Students who were notpart of the protests, lots of firstyears, werealso threatened and the university cannotallow this to happen.”At a media briefing last week UCT vice-

chancellor Dr Max Price and other mem-bers of the executive discussed the events.Price revealed that more than 75% of stu-

dents staying in residence are black, as hesummarised UCT’s progress in resolvingthe accommodation shortage that was thefocus of the recent protest led by the RhodesMust Fall movement.“The #RhodesMustFall lobby claims that

this issue is about student housing and, inparticular, about black students not beinggiven housing in residence in the universi-ty, and that white students have been givenpreference.

“I want to say that that is completelywrong.“Our residence admissions policy gives

very strong preference to students on finan-cial aid, because in general residence ac-commodation is a bit cheaper than privateaccommodation.”Responding to the Shackville protest and

disruptions it caused Price explained thatthe erection of a shackwas a legitimate pro-test, one that they thought was very cleverand effective.“We have been, we believe, very suppor-

tive and tolerant of peaceful protest and weprotect that always,” he said.“The university is a place for discussion

and debate and we jealously guard that. Ithink our track record of the last year ofdealing with Rhodes Must Fall and #Fees-MustFall protests has demonstrated thatwehave always been open and always madespace for that.“However, we draw the line at criminali-

ty and violence and that is what has hap-pened lastweek, and that’swhywehaveact-ed firmly and strongly.“We had no problem with the fact of that

protest.“We offered and requested Rhodes Must

Fall tomove the shack.We did not ask themto demolish it. They completely rejectedthat. Around 17:00 they mobilised a signifi-cant crowd of students who started lightingfires and barricades, lighting tyres.“They invaded the residences nearby.

Artworks andportraitswere taken from theresidences and theymade a bonfire of these.“It quickly became clear that we needed

the public order policing services and theywere brought in.”Price further explained that order has

been restored.

“Dancing is my life. I evenhave a tattoo about dance

because this is one thing thatI’m very passionate about.”This is what Kurt Palmer (20)

from Steenberg says. Palmer re-alised his dream when he start-ed dancing in front of a hugecrowd of spectators at CapeTown Carnival five years ago.He has since developed thisdream into a passion and today,he is a lead performer at CapeTown Carnival and choreo-graphs routines for the commu-nity group of Steenberg HighSchool – which is where it allstarted.Palmer has been dancing for

the past 11 years, starting withballet in primary school andthen joining Steenberg High’scommunity group. This waswhere he ended up performingon a public platform and discov-ered that it was something thathe would like to do for the restof his life.“I have alwaysknownmypas-

sion in life was dancing, eversince my first performance.When I have to change intocharacter it feels basically likeI’m starting a new life, openingmybodyandmind tonew thingsthat will tell a story.”Despite now doing what he

loves, Palmer says that it hasnever been an easy journey:“One of the challenges I had toovercome as a teenager was thebullying and negativity by pu-pils at my school but I alwaysmade a way to overcome them.“Coming from disadvantaged

communities it was even diffi-cult to go to rehearsal becauseof criminal activities. Gettingfrom one place to another was astruggle but I knew this is whatI wanted to do so I had to facethe struggles headon.Oneof thegreatest motivations I had wasmy life orientation teacher inmatric, Ms Priestley, who al-ways had confidence in me andhelped me out in my dance ca-reer.”Palmer has seen the value

Cape Town Carnival hasbrought to the many partici-pants and spectators. “Because

of our performances in CapeTown Carnival, we have hadperformances at the Baxter fes-tival and the Cape Arts festival.

“This helped to shape the per-son I am today. I really enjoydancing.When Ihaveall eyes onme it reallymakes it easy formeto domy thing and Iwant to givepeople the best,” he says.In its seventh year, Palmer

says the theme for this year’sCape Town Carnival is going tobe a show stopper.

“Well, ‘Street Life’ is definite-ly going to be my favourite; it issomethingnewand it is verydif-ferent. It is difficult to saythough ... each year brings itsown pizzazz.“I am so excited to take part

in the carnival this year, mybody is dancing to the rhythmof ‘Street Life’,” he says.His wish is to work with the

Cape Town Carnival: “One ofmy biggest dreams is to becomea part of the team that createsCape Town Carnival, to show-case and show off Cape Town indifferent ways. Each personbrings his own flavour to the pa-rade. Cape Town is full of colourand culture and each personbrings his own uniqueness.”This year the carnival prom-

ises to be even more dynamic,with comedian SivNgesi partic-ipating for his third year andother local personalities likeLiezel van der Westhuizen, ZoeBrown and Danny Ross joiningthe parade.Itwill be held on theFanWalk

of GreenPoint on 12March. Vis-itors will have the freedom ofthe city streets from 15:00 asthey join family and friends toenjoy the variety of food andcrafts on offer.

The streets will be closed forfinal preparations at 18:00, giv-ing carnival-goers enough timeto find the perfect viewing spot,find their seats or make theirway to one of the many restau-rants along the FanWalk beforethe magic begins at 19:00.V For more information on the CapeTown Carnival, visit www.capetowncar-nival.com, the TheCapeTownCarnivalpage on Facebook or follow @CTCarni-val on Twitter or @capetowncarnivalon Instagram and use the hashtag#CTCarnival2016 and #StreetLife.

Kurt Palmer enjoys being a dancer. His biggest achievement isperforming at the Cape Town Carnival which he enjoys a lot.

When they put their red jackets on,service dogs Shyann and Philippeknow they’re working.For these dogs,workingusually in-

volves helping their physically disa-bled or challenged owners carry outday-to-day tasks, such as going to theshop. Sometimes it means makingfriends with neighbours to educatethemabout service dogs and disabili-ties. On occasion, it means simplyproviding comfort and companion-ship to their owners.But Shyann and Philippe have

been even more busy than usual, asthey help their respective owners,Dawn Pilatowicz and Janice Sal-thouse, plan the annual “Love yourguide dog” fundraising event.

All proceeds go to the South Afri-can Guide Dog Association, whichtrained Shyann and Philippe.

The association breeds and trainsdogs to help blind and disabled peo-ple. Some dogs also socialisewith au-tistic children.

Each dog spends a year beingraised by a foster family, where theyare taught to socialise and functionin public as well as follow a set of ba-sic commands.They then return to the associa-

tion’s kennels, where they aretrained for a specific individual, hisdisability and his needs.

Shyann, a golden Labrador, wastrained to help Pilatowicz – whoneeds awheelchair to get around – bypicking up things she drops.Philippe, the first poodle service

dog in the country, helps Salthouse

balance.“Dogs open doors. People talk to

you instead of looking at you likeyou’re drunk.”

Shyann joined Pilatowicz at theage of two. Before that, Pilatowiczhad been housebound because sherelied on a walker or wheelchair togo out. But that changed with Shy-ann.

“I needed to take her for a dailywalk, so I got an electric wheelchair.I lived in my neighbourhood for 20years and didn’t know anyone be-fore. Now, everyone knows Shyann.”V The annual Fish Hoek “Love your guide dog”fundraiser in aid of the SA Guide Dog Associa-tion will take place in the Fish Hoek Civic Cen-tre on Friday at 19:30. Tickets are R160 perperson and numerous raffles will run on thenight. Booking is essential. Contact Pilatow-icz on 083 226 8250 or [email protected].

anyonewho could help us help oth-ers by having this soup kitchen ona weekly basis.”Ricardo added that they were

motivated to build a community ofpeace and safety in the area.“Wewant to start a peace garden

in Acre Road where residents andFacdo will build a garden of hopethat will include a sustainable food

garden and play park for our chil-dren.“Butwe cannot do it alone. Spon-

sors and donors are needed to helpus make these dreams a reality,”he said.V For more information contact Van Nie-kerk on 060 325 8698.

Addicts shouldn’t get quick fixIn response to the draftdocument on alcohol andsubstance abuse it is clearthat the City council andDepartment of Social Develop-ment is trying their utmost toeradicate or control the abuseof illegal substances.This should be a partner-

ship with various stakehold-ers, including governmentand the community.I do not have all the

answers, but I belong to afour steps support groupfocused on the abuse of anysubstance.This group is facilitated by

an experienced medicalpractitioner and it is fair tosay he is experienced overand above most psychiatrists,who have not really beenexposed to the actual habitatand characteristics of anaddict.Craving might have nothing

to do with substance abuse,but as the doctor illustrates,the urge to indulge in food,coffee, tea, chocolate cake,gambling, playing the lotto islegal, but could become anaddiction like smoking.He prefers to address these

people as people who arecraving rather than addicts.A huge percentage of crime

is substance abuse-related.Both prosecutors and magis-trates are of different opin-ions, and are not alwaysconsistent with the end resultor punishment.Each case has to be meas-

ured on merit, backgroundand first offenders. Sendingthese youngsters to Pollsmooris a quick fix for the govern-ment, but not for society.They are categorised as

“awaiting trial prisoners” and

are thrown to the wolves in CMaximum with all thehardcore rapists and murder-ers.Awaiting trial really means

“innocent until provenguilty”, which means if youare assaulted, sodomised orbeaten up and robbed of theonly possessions on you, youcould be found “not guilty”when you do appear in court.How does the state compen-

sate the victim, after degrada-tion and abuse? They areadmitted as an addict forpetty crimes, and are releasedafter serving their sentenceas an initiated gang member,traumatised, with a criminalrecord.Most of the major compa-

nies do criminal checks aswell as drug checks on futureemployees, and have a rigidpolicy of not employinganybody with a criminalrecord or ex-drug users.A large percentage of these

youngsters are either highlyskilled or have careersalready, and they are now inthe unemployment queue.Prosecutors should recom-

mend mandatory rehabilita-tion for first-time offenders.Magistrates should give (iffound guilty) the length oftime to be served in halfway

houses. NGOs should empow-er as many support groupsevery day with the necessarylife skills and career gui-dance.More focus should be on

the protection of the newintake of young, who nowbecome prisoners, andvictims themselves.Correctional services

should spend less moneybuilding prisons, and moremoney on rehabilitating andpreparing the outgoingprisoners to be reintegratedinto society. Set up aninstitution within the prisonthat finds these people jobsbefore they are released.This demonic disease has

no colour, religion or culture.With the rich and employed,it only means they have themoney to purchase the drugs.With the poor and unem-ployed, theft is the onlymeans of survival, which nowturns into kleptomania.Nobody chooses to become

an addict but the consequen-ces of continuous use willmake you an addict.As the addict would say:

“Please pray for me, becauseyou may never see meagain.”

EDUCATION

Good studentto greatFebruary has arrived, and parents are breathing a huge sighof relief – exams are over, for now, children are registeredand the academic year has begun.Routine has established itself, with early rising, treasure

hunts for clean school shirts and finger-waving exercises inthe morning traffic.Now is the time to settle the household. Balancing life, work

and extramural activities is no easy task.Yes, the social and soft skills we gain from teamwork in

sports and extramural activities do play a vital role in ourdevelopment as fully rounded, well-adjusted, productive andcaring contributors to our world, but we must prioritise aca-demics.There is somuchvalue in teaching our childrenhow to cope

with the demands of school, authority, routine and exams.Isn’t that what we deal with on a daily basis at work?We haveto arrive on time; we have projects to complete and deadlinesto meet.How do you cope?Well, you’ve employed life skills and cop-

ing strategies which you have learnt through amentor, if youwere lucky enough, or through trial and error, invariablythrough life’s knocks and bumps.Life lessons start in the home. Sowhynot instil some strate-

gies that will help your children manage their time and re-duce daily stress in their lives and yours? Here are a fewwell-tried suggestions.1: Breakfast: the most important meal of the day. If you

are fortunate enough to be able to provide a solid breakfastbeforeyour child goes to school, do so. Itwill helpwith concen-tration and energy levels throughout the day.2: Time management and planning: get organised. Be-

tween homework, tests and extracurricular activities, it is alltoo easy for things to slip through the cracks. A planner canhelp your child keep everything organised. Students shouldwrite down assignments, appointments and to-do lists. Askhim to review items in the planner at both the beginning andend of the day to stay on track. Learning to allocate and man-age time effectively is one of the best recipes for anyone’s suc-cess.3: Designate a study area. Studying in front of the TV

won’t be the best use of your child’s time. Help your childby providing a quiet, well-lit, low-traffic space for study. Takeit one step further and institute a “communications blackout”policy with no cellphones or messaging allowed until school-work is done.4: App tip: embrace and make technology work for you.

Any.do helps organise your tasks and keeps your academiclife in one place. Students can use the app to capture ideasand to-do lists and to collaboratewith classmates. Parents canuse it to keep family projects on track.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVET College.

LETTERS

Treated well at UIFI can’t agree with PatManwaring, last week’s letterwriter.I went to the UIF office in

Athlone and I must say wewere treated very well.As with all government

departments there arequeues.But I must point out that

the staff at Athlone officetreated everyone with theutmost respect.At one stage they offered

me a chair to sit on while

waiting for the doors toopen.I was always given a date

when to go in and sign andalso how much I wouldreceive that Friday (payday).They always put the date

on the form which you fill infor your next sign date.I must thank the staff of

the Athone UIF office for ajob well done.

ACHMAT SALIE,Athlone

Thanks for helpingWe thank you for your kindness andhelp for the less fortunate. Helpingyoungsters change their lives andimprove their situation makes us all“proudly South African”.We have received a good response

from the post you published in People’sPost last month. Thank you very much.We strive to empower our youth to

become active and responsible SouthAfrican citizens. The generosity ofindividuals and companies enables theSalesian Institute’s youth projects tocontinue to work with the vulnerableyouth of Cape Town.

MBUYI JONGQO,Salesian Institute

‘Horrified’ at schoolOn Friday 12 February I had theunfortunate experience of accompa-nying my daughter to CrestwayHigh School to write her supple-mentary exams.I was horrified at the conditions

under which they had to write.There were 82 pupils writing inone classroom.I was extremely disappointed to

hear from the secretary of theschool that no other school wantedto assist with the supplementaryexams. I know there are schoolsthat have the facilities to accommo-date these kids. Not only was the“examination room” inadequate,but the area itself was extremelyunsafe.I myself witnessed a fist fight

between one of the teachers orgroundsmen and two of the school’spupils. The toilets were highlyunhygienic and filthy. The doorshad no locks, there were holes inthe ceilings and there were holesin the cubicles facing the outside,offering no privacy.

Some of the kids were there fromjust after 07:00. And not being ableto use the bathroom until 12:00 –it’s just unacceptable.Besides feeling completely

vulnerable myself I feel heart-sorefor our children who have toendure these conditions every day.What a huge disappointment in theWestern Cape education depart-ment.These kids are our future and

Paddy Attwell, spokesperson of theWestern Cape Department of Edcu-cation (WCED) responds: Fifteenschools, including Crestway HighSchool, are hosting supplementaryexaminations.Crestway has created an exami-

nation hall for the purpose byremoving walls between threeclassrooms.This has created sufficient space

to accommodate the maximum

number of candidates writing theexaminations at the venue, in thiscase, 87.Examination officials visited the

school last Thursday, and foundthe venue spotlessly clean andmore than adequate for the 69candidates scheduled to write thenext examination.The candidates are not sitting in

one classroom, as suggested byyour reader, but in three class-rooms that the school has joinedtogether.The school has cordoned off the

hall so that normal school activi-ties do not disrupt the examina-tions.While the school is old, the

ablution facilities are well lookedafter and serviceable.The WCED rotates the venues

between clusters of schools eachyear, in collaboration with theschools concerned. We have notexperienced reluctance to host theexaminations, as suggested in theletter.

A’s, Falcons meet in softball finalJOSEPH PILLAY

This year’s Cape Town Softball Associa-tionKnockout Cup finalwill be contest-ed between last season’s finalists – the

defending champions Falcons and Glen-thorn A’s at Turfhall Stadium on 13 March.This after both teamswon their respective

semi-final matches against Tantasport andWestridge Yankees at Turfhall this week-end.This time around Steven Rodkin and his

assistant coaches, Wayne May and DeonKerchhoff, together with the Glenthorn sideare determined to cap a fantastic season bycapturing the league and knockout double.In last year’s final, Glenthorn A’s, leading

3-1, saw Falcons stage a remarkable fight toclinch the game 4-3.Falcons head coach Andre Alexander and

his softballers are just as determined to de-fend their title.However, Sunday’s semi-final between

Falcons and Tantasport developed into anexciting showdown in which both teamswere kept scoreless in their first six innings.Falcons then scored four earned runs

thanks to Nicky Jones, Aamarah Larney,Chanté Hatting and Kelly Julie in the deci-sive seventh innings that enabled them tobeat Tanta 4-0.Falcons smacked 10 hits off pitcher Rox-

anne Albertyn with Hatting’s 2-3 the pick ofthe batting stats for Falcons.

A’s trounce YankeesIn the featured semi-final Glenthorn A’s

trounced Westridge Yankees 5-1 after scor-ing four runs (1 and 3) in their first two turnsat bat that pretty much laid the foundationof their success.Making costly errors at crucial stages of

the game (seven on-field errors to be exact)proved to be Yankees’ undoing.Despite having their coachesNazeemDul-

vie and Natasha de Klerk attempting to in-stil some confidence in their players, veryfew batters could get on top of Lauren Mul-

der’s fierce and shrewd pitching.Mulder struck out five of the 24 batters

faced and gave up five hits, which wereshared between Candice Bull (2-3), ShinayErasmus (1-2), Nuraan Williams and GlynisKoopman (1-3 each).. The men’s Major League final will be be-tween Devonshire Rovers and WestridgeYankees after Yankees’ 7-6 win over Hamil-tons Green in the tie-breaker. The highlightwas three home runs in a single inning forthe Mitchell’s Plain side.In the other semi-final Devonshire Rovers

wiped out Hamiltons Black to record a 7-0shut-out win.
