History in the makingTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

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

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

brecht (22) will be the first wheelchair ath-letes ever to participate in the 91stComradesMarathon – theworld’s biggest and oldest ul-tra-marathon – taking place on Sunday 29May. They will be assisted by their runningpartners on the 89kmuphill run fromPieter-maritzburg to Durban.These two dynamic ability activists chal-

lenged the Comrades Marathon rule (CMA)that stated “no wheelchairs or mechanicalaids” would be allowed entry into the Com-rades.

Mycroft, an ability activist and adventur-er who was born with cerebral palsy, is aspastic quadriplegic and has a degenerativeneuropathy. She is currently studying for anhonours degree in social policy andmanage-ment at the University of Cape Town.Mycroft says it is great to see CMA and

ASAupholding the rights provided by SouthAfrica’s constitution. “People with disabili-ties are often sidelined by society, and thisis an opportunity to show that we are activeand capable members of our communities.”Engelbrecht, who is an ability activist, cy-

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

officer, says this is history in the making.

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

ebrate, it wasn’t a walk in the park to havethese two included in the marathon. Thisruling that they fought so hard for, startedwith engagement with CMA in February.Afterhittingahard rockandbeingdenied,

they never gave up. They fought harder andeven had a petition going around so thatthey could be included.

Making the announcement last week,Macdonald Chitja, the CMA chairperson,said CMA has noted and is in the process ofimplementing a directive from AthleticsSouth Africa that two wheelchair assistedparticipants be permitted to participate inthe 2016 Comrades Marathon. “The CMAwelcomes this historic decision for our sportand we embrace it in line with the spirit ofthe ComradesMarathon’s values and visionof equality and inclusivity.”Chitja added it was important to note that

the two athletes have complied with thestandard qualifying times and entry re-quirements for the race, and that no specialprovision has beenmade for them in this re-spect, norwill they receive any special treat-ment as bona fide participants in the race.Mycroft and Engelbrecht qualified for the

event in the Red Hill marathon earlier thisyear.

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

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

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

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

Each runner will carry one of the 8000names of slaves who appear on a “col-umn of memory” at the Iziko Slave Lodgein the city centre (“Slave names give run-ners wings”, People’s Post, 15 March)during the race on Sunday 8 May.

The race route takes runners past sev-eral historically significant landmarks,such as the Castle of Good Hope, GrandParade, the Whipping Post, Old SlaveChurch, the Slave Tree Plaque and the Iz-iko Slave Lodge.

Life as a slaveMooi Angela from Bengal, also known

as Ansla van Bengalen, was brought tothe Cape before the large-sale importa-tion of slaves and before the Slave Lodgewas even built.

She was brought to the Cape by a DutchEast Indian official, Pieter Kemp, whobought her when stationed in the Batavi-an Republic.

Returning from the Netherlands hebrought Angela with him and sold her inCape Town to Jan van Riebeeck in 1655.He in turn sold her to Abraham Gabbe-ma, the Second-in-Command at the Cape,recounts Angela’s descendent, LucyCentlivres.

“A very special day in Angela’s lifewas 13 April 1666 when she was grantedher independence,” Centlivres says.

Angela petitioned the Governor togrant her a piece of land where she start-ed growing fruit and vegetables whichshe sold to passing ships.

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

She became a successful farmer andhelped her sons on their farms in theDrakenstein area.

“By the time she died she was very welloff and her daughter, Anna de Koning,married to Olof Bergh, was the richestwoman at the Cape. We could call her thefirst women entrepreneur at the Cape,”says Centlivres.

Remembering ancestorsAlthough uncertain who Angela mar-

ried first, in 1669 she married ArnoldusWillemsz Basson, the founding father ofall the Bassons in South Africa and Cent-livres’ forefather.

The Slave Route Challenge is a time forCentlivres to look back on her history,remembering and honouring so many ofthe slaves who built the Cape colony.

“I am proud to trace my heritage backto beautiful, courageous Angela, whodidn’t allow horrendous circumstancesto get her down,” she says.

Although Centlivres is not able to runthe route herself, it warms her to thinkthat her ancestors have not been forgot-ten.

“If someone would run the Slave Routein honour of Angela, I would be thrilled.My ancestors’ histories have enrichedmy life and given me a better under-standing of the history of my country andthe many colourful personalities in it.”V For more information, visit www.iamrunningfor.co.za.

Earth kids invadeMary Kihn SchoolGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

There will be more than blooms blossom-ing at theMaryKihn School for partially

hearing children in Observatory duringthis year.On Friday 15 April the school was a hive

of activity as the Urban Harvest team andlearners from the school planted the vegeta-bles in the morning with support from theBotanical Society of South Africa (BotSoc)Head Office staff members CatherineBrowne and Nasera Baker.In the afternoon the schoolwas “invaded”

by the RustenburgGirls’ High School EarthChildren club, representatives from Wool-worths Financial Services as well aslearners and staff fromObservatory JuniorSchool, a neighbouring schoolwhereUrbanHarvest has previously also installed awon-derful food garden that’s thriving.The school has only 200 learners and the

produce from the planned garden will feedthe learners daily.CatherineBrowne fromBotSoc explained

that Urban Harvest is leading the project toestablish a large food garden for the school.“We (BotSoc) joined forces with them and

contributed towards this heart-warming in-itiative, sponsoring the perennial indige-nous perimeter garden,” she said.“This partnered project will impact lives

and it’s magic to play a role in making posi-tive differences in the lives of communities,schools and children. Together we can im-pact change.”She added that the botanical society is

passionate about encouraging and nurtur-ing a love and passion for nature and lovebeing a part of such initiatives.“Reaching out to special needs youth is

close to our hearts and spreading excite-ment and interest in plants and the environ-ment is vital.“So often learners and communities do

not have exposure to the wonders of biodi-versity, have not dug their fingers into thesoil, watched plants grow or harvested theproduce of their labour.“This project allows for all that andmore.

Greening the school greens the lives andhearts of all involved. This projectwill havean ongoing effect. As the garden grows anddevelops, the learners will experience thejoys of gardening and learn about and enjoythe produce too.“It’s wonderful to play a role in this out-

reach and support creating a green spacefor special needs learners.”She also thanked the amazingUrbanHar-

vest EdibleGardens team for the greatworkthey continue doing, greening schools andcommunities.“We are proud to partner with them feed-

ing hungry tummies and hungry inquisi-tive minds with passion for biodiversityand understanding nature.”Woolworths Financial Services spon-

sored plants and volunteers, while fruittrees were sponsored by Greenpop, Reli-anceCompost donated compost and thePoleYard sponsored the garden fencing.V Find out more about the BotSoc and sign up asa member of a legacy, high impact NGO at www.botanicalsociety.org.za.

Storm wreaks havocTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Someof the residents around theprovinceare still trying to recover following a

heavy storm last Friday.The Cape storm which caused havoc in

the city saw thundershowers with heavyrain and wind up to 150 km/ph and wide-spread floods.Areas like Constantia, Wynberg, Belhar

and Fish Hoek saw trees uprooted and fall-ing on buildings and cars. Roofs whereblown off in areas like Lavender Hill, HoutBay, Masiphumelele and Retreat. Floodedroads caused damage to property in Ken-sington and Wetton.Fire and Rescue spokesperson, Charlotte

Powell, said the City’s Roads and StormWa-ter,Electricity andParksandForest depart-ments were attending to the incidents.

ER24’s Cape Town branches were keptbusy following the severe storm. Paramed-ics responded to eight motor vehicle colli-sions, which were most likely caused by se-verely flooded roads. They also assisted inblocking off flooded roads that posed a riskto commuters as well as trees which hadfallen across roads – such as on the N1,where a tree fell, and Rhodes Avenue inConstantia,where a tree fell onto an emer-gency service’s vehicle.ER24 urges commuters to take extra care

when driving on flooded roads: Slow downand make sure you have your headlightsswitched on. Be careful of potholes thatmight have filled with water which make itdifficult to spot and do not attempt to crosslowwater bridges or areas that are severelyflooded. Ensure your car’swindscreenwip-ers and lights are in good condition. Obeythe rules of the road and be patient.

Roads were flooded in Kensington and other areas after heavy rains.

Adventures show‘someone cares’GARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Anadventure club inMaitland is onamis-sion to guide children to a positive path

in life.This is the dream of Maria Strachan, a

resident who knows which way the wrongroad can lead.She explains she started theMaitlandAd-

venture Kids Club to show children theymust look beyond disadvantaged circum-stances to find their proper positive poten-tial in life.“I was led astray from a very young age

because therewasnobody to guideme to seethe potential in myself,” she says.“Now I am clean and passionate about

giving the children in this area (surround-ing the M5 business park) a chance to havea different outlook and how they can be-come anything in life to make a positivecontribution to their community,” she says.“It’s about teaching them respect, disci-

pline and moral values that is sometimeslacking in their homes.”Maria adds that the idea came about

when she started involving children fromthe area in their family outings.“There are many problems relating to

drug and alcohol abuse in this area,” shesays.“Whenmy husband and I took our daugh-

ter out, we started taking some of themwith

us, and when I saw the joy on their facesI realised that I have to start something forall of them. Too many of them come fromhomeswhere they can’t afford these outingsand I realised the best would be to start anadventure club. This shows them somebodycares and how they should care about them-selves.”The club meets every Friday in the park

next to the business park but Maria pointsout they have been on a few outings that in-cluded the Liesbeek River and the swim-ming baths, but she needs helps to expandtheir activities.“Each month we go on an outing and I

have somesponsorswhosupportme, butwewill welcome any donations from the com-munity.“At the moment we walk to where we

want to be or take public transport – we arean adventure club, after all – but we wouldreally love sponsorship for a bus or taxis tohelp us go further,” she says.“I have to thank the people who are help-

ing – that includes my husband, Donald –along with friends like Anthony Hall, Kari-na Morgenson, Jo-Ann Scheepers, OctaviaAdams and my mentor, Angie Nkebana.“These are people who believe we must

do something to show the children there isa better life beyond the negative influencesaround them.”V For more information contact Maria on078 215 2374.

Are you man enough to tell the world aboutthe important women in your life?An important essay competition has been

launched to celebrate the 60th anniversary ofthe August 1956 Women’s March on the Un-ion Buildings in Pretoria in protest againstthe extension of passes to women by theapartheid regime. While many women-fo-cused cultural and political events are beingplanned to mark the contribution of SouthAfricanwomen to the struggle for liberation,the call for essays is but one way to bring theconsidered voices of men into the mix.The motivation for this initiative is that

tenyears agoBeulahThumbadooandAssoci-ates, a publishing company in Woodstock,put together a book, “The Face of the Spirit,

illuminating a century of essays by SouthAf-rican Women” for the Department of Artsand Culture. “To mark the 60th anniversarywe would like to hear from men; any and asmany South African men as are willing totake part,” says Thumbadoo.The essays that best portray the personal

concerns, hopes and desires of SouthAfricanmen, and have the judges wanting everySouth African to read them in the interestsof nation building, will be shortlisted, andthe intention is that a selection of the best es-says will be published in a book with theworking title “Words left Unspoken”.V Visit www.beulahthumbadoo.co.za. Submissions ofno more than 2000 words can be emailed to bt@beulahthumbadoo.co.za.

EDUCATION

Many ways to learnThroughout your child’s school career, theyhave been tasked with growing amounts ofhomework, assignments and tests. Howev-er, as they proceed from grade to grade, thework pressure increases, potentially leav-ing your child feeling flustered.

Creating a schedule, together with yourchild, will help your child prioritise theirtime and create a sense of control. But whathappens when it’s time to buckle down tostudy, and the information doesn’t stick?

Conventional parrot-style studying mayleave your child feeling anxious or despond-ent. Each child is unique in their abilities,and study techniques don’t generally formpart of the school curriculum. This is a greatway for parents to offer assistance, and gothrough aprocess of elimination to establishthe most successful method.

A study has been completed to categorisefour learning styles or preferences whichcould help your child absorb and interpretinformation. This is called theVARKmodal-ities, which has been split to have a specificfocus on visual, aural, read andwrite or kin-aesthetic stimulation.

VisualVisually predominant study techniques

require the study areas be void of any visualdistractions. The only visually appealingmaterial should be study notes. Informationis best consumed through pictures, dia-grams and graphs. Utilise brightly colourstationery to accentuate key information.The use of online videos and flash cards aregreat tools too.

AuralA study space should be clear of auditory

distractions. These learners consume infor-mation best though spoken word format.Study groups work great if you are able to

find students with similar learning trends.Recorded discussions and lectures can be re-peated ina conducive environment andyourchild will create recitations and jingles ofkey information.

Read and WriteThis is probably themost traditional of all

study modes. From the classroom to home,your childwill constantly need to takenotes,re-read notes and hand outs along with ac-cessing additional information through var-ious mediums. The regurgitation of the in-formation will be interpreted and noted ina manner which is easier to consume.

KinaestheticThroughout your child’s life, they are

taught to sit still, be quiet, and face the front.However, young active minds are housed inyoung active bodies, which thrive on physi-cal activity. If your child chooses to lay onthe floor flicking their legs, or pace whenstudying let thembe.Themovement pacifiesthe body’s instinct to be active, freeing themind to absorb. This category of student isusually only able to study in short blocks oftime, with an accompanying distraction ofsqueezing a stress ball or listening to music.It’s not a study method encouraged, but ithas proven to be a successful method forsome children. A kinaesthetic learner likesto make use of examples and associationsrather thanplain facts and is further compli-mented through Aural study techniqueswith other scholars.

Visit http:/vark-learn.com to help you de-cipher a study mode and tools to best suityour child.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVET College. Look out for more study success strategies in People’s Post in the last week of every month or go towww.falsebaycollege.co.za to find out more.

LETTERS

Investigatenumber ofpolice deathsThus far, more than 80 police officershave been killed this year.

This should elicit at least a commis-sion of enquiry by national government.The number of killings equates tonearly 20 per month or two per day.

The slaying of Detective LindekileSikade from Philippi East, Metro Policeofficer Simon Sigasa from Johannesburgand others, is strongly condemned, butwhat recourse do we have after thecondemnation of the dastardly murders?

If the perpetrators are targeting lawenforcement officers solely for theirfirearms in order to commit furtheracts of crime, wherein lies the solutionto end the heinous killings?

Unless this stark reality is addressedswiftly, less young men and women willenter the policing services, albeit itpolice or the municipal Metro Policeservices.

Statistics indicate that there is a hugeshortfall of police officers in the West-ern Cape.

I implore national police commission-er to initiate a national commission ofenquiry in respect of the atrocity tostop the killings, and rid civil society ofthe cowardly perpetrators and illegalunlicensed firearms.

MARK KLEINSCHMIDTKenwyn

Stand against killingsLast week we have once again beenshaken, shocked and rattled by thebrutal killing of one of our own, Detect-ive Constable Sekadi from the GrassyPark police service centre.

He was a valuable asset to our commu-nity, has been ruthless in bringinglaw-breakers before the court andexposing the dark side of the gangunderworld.

As a community we want to expressour condolences, and unequivocally statethat we do not condone the brutalslaying of our police officers, or anymember of society. As a community wevalue our police officers, in whatevercapacity they may serve us.

Once again it is a call to our leaders,those in authority – decision makers,politicians and government – to listenand respond to the cry of our people.Once again we see a system dismallyfailing us, where those who must upholdand protect society, fall victim to thevery system they must uphold.

Our justice system fails us time andtime again. Our police service is under-staffed, underresourced and its membersare under paid. Correctional servicesdelivers and feeds into our communitiesthe products of a failing prison system

(with exception to those who reshapedtheir lives), and when we add all up, theoutcome is that the innocent, the uprightand the community heroes are carriedaway in wooden boxes to their lastresting place.

Absent at the time of distress, tears,heartache and bereavement, are thepoliticians, the ministers and govern-ment.

As a community we have the power toinfluence decisions, budgets, systems,policies and ways of thinking. We mustget involved in community projects,programmes and initiatives. We mustbecome more vocal and speak outagainst unjust and ungodly systems,participate in forums, structures and allother platforms, and above all, hold ourleaders, MECs, councillors and serviceproviders accountable.

Let the death of our fallen heroes,children, elderly and youth not be invain. Let the spilled blood of the inno-cent speak to the righteous, cry out tothe heart of our community and let ourresponse be: “yes we will take up thecourse, yes we will unite against allforces of darkness and overcome”!

PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPParkwood

Who is behind the shootings?Regarding gangs on the Cape Flats:

I am always very saddened when Ihear of the innocent people being killedfor no reason by these sub-humans, andother innocents maimed for life. Thesegangsters have no understanding of thepain and suffering they deliberatelycause through their madness.

But my biggest concern is: Who issupplying them the ammunition?

We know that many firearms arestolen and many are even supplied byother sub-humans but where does theammunition come from?

Why do we not hear of that?Surely if the suppliers of ammunition

can be identified, prosecuted and sen-tenced to lengthy jail terms then perhapsthere should be a drop in the killings.When these sub-humans are arrestedwith the guns surely the police shouldbe able to extract that information of thesuppliers of the ammunition.

I ask: Can it be that some policemenare supplying them so we do not hearabout that?

By providing spectator busesand zones, as well as a wide range of enter-tainment, the organisers again intend to in-volve local communities in the festivitiesaround the event. The weekend Spring roadrunning festival will also continue to em-power and reward local road running talent.The tremendous local and international

support for the 2015 event, which boastedone of the largest road race fields in thecountry, offers a clear indication of the im-pact the race has already made since it waslaunched. “The increase in popularity ofthis event over a short two-year periodshows the value it can offer people through-out Africa as a leading brand which pro-motes healthy living. The economic boostdelivered by the marathon through variouslocal industries, including travel and tour-ism, continues to make a valuable contribu-tion outside the world of sport,” says Gar-reth Bloor, Mayco member for economic de-velopment and tourism.The weekend festival, held over two days

with the marathon race taking centre stageon the Sunday, will again consist of a mara-thon, 10km PEACE Run/Walk, 4.2km FunRun and Peace Trail Runs.V For more details, visit www.capetownmarathon.com

Thus the second annual showpiece of thehost club Salt River Blackpoolwill be playedon the Friday 29, Saturday 30April andMon-day 2 May at the Shelley Road sports com-plex in Salt River.

Tournament director Iqbal Kasker said atthe official launch and tournament drawlaunch held the Fountains Hotel that theplanning for the 2016 version of the tourna-ment had commenced a few weeks after lastyear’s event and that the success of lastyear’s tournament subsequently had to in-crease the entry of teams from 48 to 64.

“I want to thank all the participatingclubs. Last year we had 16 teams in each ofthe u.7, u.9 and u.11 divisions. Due to inter-est and demand for entry this year we see16 teams in u.8, 24 teams in u.10 and 24 teamsin the u.12 division.

“This growth in entry is phenomenal fromyear one and we, the organizers our thanksagain to the clubs for their interest. Thisyear the SRBFC Super 7s have attractedclubs from all over Cape Town, which in-cludes areas such as Camps Bay, Milnerton,

Atlantis, Somerset West, Khayelitsha, BlueDowns, Grassy Park and the City Bowl Dis-trict. Then professional clubs such as AjaxCape Town, Santos and Milano United willalso be participating this year.”Kasker also said a football tournament of

this size cannot do without sponsors and do-nors to assist the club in hosting a profes-sionally run tournament.He also acknowledged the presence of foot-

ball administrators from both Safa CapeTown and Cape District LFA present at thelaunchandexpressed theirblessingandsup-port for this tournament ismost appreciatedandwe hope to see you at the field to witnessour young players competing and enjoyingthe beautiful game.Once again a huge number of match offi-

cials will officiate to ensure the matches areplayed in a harmonious way whilst abidingto the tournament rules.Kasker also clarified that there were no

mote is youth football and growth. There isno prize money,” he said.“Winners of the tournament will get a

floating trophy and medals. The runners upwill get medals, and the plate section will al-so get a trophy. Then there’s the individualawards like the player of the tournament,goalkeeper of the tournament and even thecoach of the tournament.”

BEN BURGER

For Tristan Brooks karate is alifestyle rather than a sport.Not surprisingly, the Grade 11

learner from Rondebosch Boys’High School is the number onefighter inhis age group in the coun-try.Tristan has been named the Peo-

ple’s Post Let’s Play Sport Star ofthe Month for March and April.He was nominated by his dad,

Neil, who says that Tristan is cur-rently ranked number one inSouth Africa (u.17) both in Kumite(fighting) and Kata (the sequenceof moves), the two disciplines ofKimura Shukokai Karate. “Hetravelled to New York in 2012 rep-resenting South Africa in the KSIWorld Tournament and again in2014, this time in Sun City. In Julyhe will be travelling to Berlin, Ger-many for the KSI 2016 World Tour-nament. In September last yearTristan competed against the bestin Europe at the KSI EuropeanOpen Championships in Luzerne,Switzerland narrowly losing in thefinal,” says Neil.According to Tristan he loves ka-

rate because of the intense train-ing. “Personally I love the physicalside of the intense training sched-ules and competitions, but a highlevel of mental discipline is re-quired to carry out this lifestyle.My Sensei calls us all crazy forwhat we do and it is the sense ofbrotherhood that keeps me moti-

vated.”He trains four times a week and

loves being in the gym. “As well asmy karate training, which is a 90minute class four days aweek, I tryto include a boxing fitness classonce a week and I can always befound in the gym during my sparetime on the weekend. But I like tothink that a fighter is always train-ing and bettering himself in every-thing he does in every aspect oflife.”For him, karate is a way of life,

rather than a sport. “I guess that Ihave been involved with karate formost of my life, since age five, andin all the years of training that hasdevelopedmy passion for thismar-tial art. I play rugby at school andalso enjoy athletics, but we do notconsider martial arts to be a sport,it is a way of life. Since a young agemy order of priorities has been myChristian faith followed by myfamily, second to those are schooland then training. When you haveyour priorities set before you, ev-erything else falls into place. Istrongly feel that once you havestarted training in this form ofmartial arts, it is impossible tostop. It is a lifetime journey.”Tristan says he looks up to his

karate hero Shihan (master in-structor) Chris Thompson whoholds an 8th Dan and is a WorldChief Instructor. “The control thathe has over his body is unbelieva-ble to witness and he also is a per-fect gentleman towards all. The

time and dedication he has showntowards Kimura Shukokai Karateis unbelievable and I hope to oneday be half the man he is.”Tristan says that his participa-

tion in theUSA in 2012was his firstinternational tournament and itwas a real eye-opener for him. “Itmade me realise what a journey Ihad ahead of myself if I wanted tobe the best I could. Seeing howhard other countries were push-ing, made me want to train evenharder.”Tristan might even be regarded

asCapeTown’s ownKarateKid.Hewas part of a demo team for thelaunch of the remake of the origi-nal 1984 movie when The KarateKidwas launched in 2010 at Caven-dish.V You can nominate any pupil between 13and 18 as the sport star of the month bysending email to ben.burger@media24.com. Clearly write the subject asSports Star. You need to mention theachievements of the nominee in detail andthe email should be shorter than 300words. The decision of the judges is final.

Mr Miyagi would be very proud

Tristan Brooks at the 2015 KSISouth African National Champion-ship at UCT where he won a Goldmedal for Kumite (fighting) Silverfor Unison kata (a three-mansynchronised kata team event) andBronze for individual Kata.
