Growing small businessSmall businesseswill received a boost as

a project to grow the number street ki-osks operating on Long Street is

launched.Ten entrepreneurs from across the prov-

ince will start operating from a set of on-street kiosks in Long Street.AlanWinde,Minister of Economic Oppor-

tunities, officially handed over the kiosksyesterday (9 May), on the corners of Longand Wale streets, to the entrepreneurs. Theproject is an initiative of the provincial de-partments of economic development andtourism, and transport and public works.Each kiosk is equippedwith a preparation

bowl fixedwithbrackets to the internalwall,precast concrete serving counter, two locka-ble hand operated roller shutters, electricallight switch and double point plugs, Windeexplains.Provincial transport and public works

minister, Donald Grant, says: “The spacehas been constructed taking into carefulconsideration the needs of the beneficiaries,and to aid in the efficient and effective run-ning of their businesses. We are very proudof this initiative, and the impact it will haveon the lives of the chosen beneficiaries.”Each entrepreneur will be able to custom-

ize their kiosks, says Winde.

“We’re handing over the space to the en-trepreneurs; they can now customize andmake it their own. Located in the middle ofthe CBD, they are able to showcase and selltheir goods in one of our region’s most vi-brant spaces,” he says.“We know that entrepreneurs are key job

creators, employing over 500 000 people inthe Western Cape. This is why we invest ininitiatives like these, which give small busi-nesses the support theyneed to take their en-terprises to the next level.”The department has given over 30 000 en-

trepreneurs the tools they need to start abusiness since 2009, Winde says.

“In this financial year we’re investingR40.9m into the development and support ofsmall businesses,” he says.Residents have been encouraged to take

ownership of the space, opening the call forcrowd-sourcing the name of the initiative.“I’d like to formally open the call to resi-

dents to submit their suggestions for the offi-cial name for these kiosks.”The kiosks will house a variety of busi-

nesses, ranging from clothing, accessoriesand bags; sports apparel; snacks, cold drinksand coffee; cosmetics and hair products toart. Entrepreneurs are expected to begintrading by the end of the month..

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Words and Jewish culture have walked along history together. It’s this relation-ship – the rich tradition of disputation,debate and dialogue – which the inaugu-ral Jewish Literary Festival looks to ex-plore.

The festival is set to take place on Sun-day 22 May in Gardens and will featureover 45 events. One of these events willbe a talk by award-winning Anne Lands-man, who returns to her homeland to dis-cuss Jewish Literature at the festival.

Landsman grew up in Worcester, sur-rounded by blue skies, mountains, and anendless variety of indigenous plants. Butshe dreamed of living another life in Lon-don, Paris or New York, she says in heronline bio. “Most of the children I wentto school with were Afrikaans, hadblonde hair and shockingly blue eyes. Iwas Jewish; my black hair curled in ev-ery direction and my nose was long. Itadded another layer of not belonging.And then there was apartheid, which wasinvented and established while I wasgrowing up. I knew it was wrong, my par-ents knew it was wrong, but that’s wherewe lived.”

At 21, after completing a degree at theUniversity of Cape Town, Landsman trav-elled to the cities of her imagination. NewYork stole her heart and she attended Co-lumbia University and started writingscreenplays. “That’s where I began tothink of writing about South Africa, theplace I never read about as a child. Ashort story I wrote which was publishedin the American Poetry Review becamethe prologue to my first novel,TheDevil’sChimney. I then went on to adapt the nov-el for the screen, as well as teach writingmyself.”

She has published essays, reviews andinterviews and wrote a second novel,TheRowing Lesson. With a string of awardsfor The Rowing Lesson, Landsman’s new-est project looks to create “a historicalfantasy intended for younger audiencesbut which hopefully appeal to their par-ents”. She will also discuss the rationalebehind this shift at the festival.

“My passion for reading and books be-gan when I was a child. I have wonderfulmemories of visiting the public library inWorcester with my mother. By writingfor a younger audience, I wanted to recap-ture some of that magic – this time not asreader but as a writer, inviting childreninto that world.

“The two main characters, a Jewishgirl of thirteen and her ten-year-oldbrother, along with their father, flee reli-gious persecution in their homeland andsettle on an unnamed island which ex-pelled its Jews centuries earlier. Thetheme of displacement and religious in-tolerance, although explicitly Jewish inmy novel, is a universal one.”

Creating a Jewish literature has nohard and fast rules, Landsman says.“There are so many different ways of be-ing Jewish, and there are Jews scattered

all over the globe, living very differentkinds of lives. There is such a spectrum,both in terms of observance as well asbirthright. Being Jewish is really the sto-ry of being human, in all its complexityand diversity. At the very least, though,a Jewish book should have some Jewishcontent in terms of theme or setting, ora Jewish character or two.”

At the festival, Landsman will tacklethe topic “What makes a book Jewish?”in a panel discussion.

Jewish culture is strongly based on lit-erature, Landsman believes.

“The Jews are the people of the book.The Torah (five books of Moses) is thefoundational text not only for Judaismbut Christianity and Islam as well. Beforereading from the Torah scroll, Jews raise

the fringes of their prayer shawls to theirlips, and then transfer that kiss to thehand-written words inscribed on theparchment. When a Torah is no longer us-able, it is buried in a waterproof contain-er. If a Torah is dropped, it is customaryfor those who are there to fast. The rulesthat govern how a Torah is made, whereit is kept and when it is used go back sev-eral millennia. At the very heart of Juda-ism is the worship of this ancient text. SoJews have a special relationship tobooks,” she says.

The Jewish experience is really a win-dow into the larger human experience,Landsman says. “As a child, I rememberlistening over and over again to a long-playing vinyl record of American Jewishjokes titled ‘You Don’t Have to Be Jewish’.The point was that you didn’t have to beJewish to find Jewish jokes funny. In thesame way, you don’t have to be Jewish toenjoy Philip Roth or Cynthia Ozick or Jo-nathan Safran Foer – or any of the won-derful South African Jewish writers atthe Jewish Literary Festival,” she says.V Tickets at Quicket.co.za.

The Cape Town Society for the Blind(CTSB) is joining forces with local gov-

ernment to invigorate the niche skills ofcane and material weavers.The joint initiative by the CTSB and the

City ofCapeTown to introduce an incentivescheme for blind cane and other materialweavers has seen a dramatic increase inproductivity.This is set to benefit the weavers and sat-

isfy local retailers and the tourist clientele,says Melanie Daniels, fund-raising profes-sional of the CTSB.“The City has partnered with CTSB as

part of an Expanded Public Works Pro-gramme (EPWP) investing in enterprise de-velopment for the next three months,” saysDanielsThere are 50 cane and other material

weavers employed at the CTSB premises inSalt River.“It is a superb scheme which acts as an

incentive to increase productivity, and wehave already seen a 30% upswing,” saysLizelle van Wyk, chief executive officer ofthe CTSB.“The cane and other material weaving is

produced by visually impaired craftsmenand have gained international recognitionfor the past 86 years. They are available atlocal retailer outlets and also at the organicfood market in the Victoria and Alfred Wa-terfront. The finished products of the smallbusiness units are marketed by CTSB andsold to the public, and immediately theyreap the benefit.The weaving project was chosen to suit

a number of blind and visually impaired in-dividualswho operate their small business-es from CTSB premises, Daniels says.

“We provide them with the infrastruc-ture and the raw materials. Each teammemberhasbetween five and 10years expe-rience in weaving, which lends expert sup-port to the respective projects. CTSB pridesitself on the fact that our weavers are spe-cialists in their respective fields,” saysDan-iels.Aweaver’s nest in theCompany’sGarden

constructedby theCTSBentrepreneurshasalso caught the eye at the Chelsea flowershow, she says.“We have many projects. One that stands

out is the nests that we produce regularly.These nests can be seen in the CompanyGardens and various restaurants. PorkyHeffer is a designer and specifically con-tracted CTSB to produce this special prod-uct based on our expertise and attention todetail.”CTSB also runs a project that concen-

trates on other material weaving, Danielssays. “These amazing professionals workon material weaving looms and every oneof our items are designed and handmade lo-cally. All our products are available in ourshowroomatCTSBpremises in Salt River,”Daniels says.“The project has improved the livelihood

of each small business unit while at thesame time inspiringandencouraging them.“Their passion and interest has once

again been revived. At CTSB we are in fullsupport of the EPWP project. Everyonereaps the benefits – once again underliningthe fact that when one gives, more is re-ceived. We hope that the City will continueto fund this project for as long as possible,keeping our people in a better financial po-sition and also encouraging them to contin-ue with their passion,” she says.V Visit www.ctsb.co.za or call 021 448 4302 for moreinformation.

Sleeping bags forhomeless big newsNICOLE MCCAIN

The Cape TownLions Club is taking a dif-ferent approach to keeping street peoplewarm this winter.A service organisation, aimed at serv-

ing the youth and assisting the aged, thedisabled and the disadvantaged, hasaround 46 000 clubs and 1.35millionmem-bers around the world. The Cape Townmembers, along with their sister clubGroote Schuur, has beenmaking sleepingbags that were created from recyclednewspapers and polythene bags. Thesleeping bags will be distributed to thehomeless in Cape Town in a joint projectwith the Lions Club of Groote Schuur.“This project was brought to us by the

Lions Club of Groote Schuur – as with allLion’s Clubs we are community mindedand strive to improve the lives of the un-derprivileged. Bagswill be donated to theHaven night shelter in Kensington tohand out to those who cannot be accom-modated at the premises,” says CapeTown Lion President Janine Filmer.“The bags are extremely warm. They

are also big enough to hold personal be-longings so that they do not get wet. Also,due to the design, the bags can be foldedup into a manageable size.”They are made by taping piles of folded

newspaper to each side of a large polythe-ne bag. This bag is then inserted into an-other identical bag and the top is sealed.Each sleeping bag takes approximately 20minutes to make, excluding the time ittakes to fold the newspaper, and is made

by Lions Clubmembers in the Cape Townarea. “The Lions make the bags them-selves. Each bag has a label attached toit with the names of those who construct-ed it,” explains Filmer.Lions members have been collecting

the newspaper material over a period oftime; the polythene bags are donated.“In view of the fact that there are many

homeless people on the streets, a sleepingbag not only provides warmth but willkeep them dry as well,” she says.V Contact the Cape Town Lions Club at021 686 4249

Juggling youth empowermentLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

“They don’t have much, butthey still have a body that can

do amazing things.”This is one of the key lessons

Hanne La Cour says the ActionAr-te Foundation try to teach the chil-dren they work with.

The organisation has been usingcircus performance skills to helpempower young people, especiallyin the Hanover Park community,since 2014 and non-circus folk willget a glimpse of their non-tradi-tional acts when the foundation’score group perform at Trash Caba-ret’s Carnival of Dreams at Hill-crest Quarry on Saturday 14 May.

The foundation was started byHanne and Marlin Roos, a secondgeneration circus performer whohas been training since the age ofseven.

Hanne says Marlin has alwaysbeen interested in learning, teach-ing and giving back to the commu-nity of Hanover Park through freeclasses. She, on the other hand,comes from a background of thea-tre and social projects and whenthe two met; they decided to com-bine their skills.

“I was fascinated by the circus,”Hanne, who is originally from Den-mark, says, so she started train andtravelled with Marlin to Spainwhere they spent two years learn-ing how to use circus training asa teaching method.

Explore the circus worldActionArte started with free

play classes in the community cen-tre before the duo left for Spain andone of their regulars kept theirproject going well they were away.Upon their return, these classesthen developed into workshops.

Hanne highlights issues likegang violence and lack of involve-ment from parents and says Ac-tionArte connects with children bykeeping them off the streets, in-spiring them to be creative andteaching them about the impor-tance of education. By teachingchildren what their bodies are ca-pable of, they also instil a sense of

positivity and teach children thatthey can choose a better life.

The foundation’s teachers usejuggling, for example, to teach chil-dren concentration and reason.

“To keep the balls in the air youhave to want it and have to find therhythm and coordination.”

They also use the juggling toteach little ones mathematics.While they don’t go into the fullmathematical theory behind theart, they do use it to teach thingslike times tables.

Children who “can’t sit still” areencouraged to train in acrobatics,

to use their energy positively.The foundation’s core group is

made up of performers from thecommunity who have been trainedas teachers and professional per-formers. Besides training theyouth and professional classes foranyone interested in becoming acircus performer or get fit, they al-so perform regularly, often at cor-porate events, to keep the founda-tion running and expanding.

Another way that ActionArteraises funds and reaches out to thecommunity is through their Sun-day Funday afternoons at their

base in Epping where families areinvited to explore their circusworld.

Igniting imaginationsHanne will be one of the perform-

ers performing at Trash Cabaret’sCarnival of Dreams on Saturdaywhere she’ll be performing her spe-ciality: hanging by her hair.

The multi-cultural cabaret eventwill bring together burlesque danc-ers, acrobats, jugglers, aerial art-ists, roaming characters, fire danc-ers and musicians in a festival toignite imaginations.

Participating groups will in-clude Psychedelic Theatre, SkyDance Studio, Leo Letsape akaMr.Letsparty, Cami Scoundrel andBlack Orchid Burlesque who’ll beled by their ringmaster, RiaanSmit from Crimson House againsta soundtrack provided by acts likeAnn Jangle, Crimson House, theTrash Cabaret Band and the Mzan-zi Marching band.

Gates open at 16:00 and festivalgoers are invited to come dressedup as a character from theirdreams and play from 18:00 beforethe main show starts at 20:00. Tick-ets cost R120 from www.Quick-et.co.za or R150 at the door.

Friendship, sexuality and mutual de-pendence are delicately explored inRichard Zajdlic and Richard Crowe’s“knockout hit play” A Cock and Bull****Story.

Marthinus Basson directs this excit-ing two-hander filled with male bravadoas Edwin van der Walt and Dean-JohnSmith reimagine the story in contempo-rary suburban Cape Town.

The piece follows TJ (Dean-JohnSmith), a promising young boxer on theeve of a bout that could make or breakhis career. He is waiting for his friendJaco (Edwin van der Walt ), who alwaysprepares him both mentally and physi-cally for his fights.

TJ’s confidence has waned after a re-cent humiliating defeat against tonight’sopponent – and Jaco is late.

For TJ boxing is not just a passion, it’san escape from his lower middle-classbackground and a passport to a betterlife. Jaco on the other hand has to meas-ure himself against the long shadow castby his father, a local legend with under-world connections and notoriety as astreet fighter.

But tonight is a battle of a differentkind. Instead of measuring theirstrength in the ring TJ and Jaco will testthe limits of friendship in the lockerroom.V A Cock and Bull**** Story will be at Theatre

on the Bay from Tuesday 17 until Saturday 28 May.Tickets cost between R100 and R180 and can bebooked on 021 438 3300.

SALT RIVER

Market Deli holds much moreGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

A visit to theMarket Deli at SaltRiver Market means more

than tucking into the tasty treatson offer.When you have a meal here,

you are supporting The South Af-rican Academy for Young Lead-ers (SAAYL), an organisationthat is working to increase the po-tential for young leaders toemerge from communities acrossthe peninsula and the WesternCape.This deli was started by the

academy because they wanted toshow theworld that theywere notdependant onhand-outs and spon-sorships. So buying a tasty mealhere goes straight into supportingtheir many projects.Based in Woodstock, the orga-

nisation was started when it be-came apparent that there was aneed to create programmes in or-der to cement foundational skillsfor nurturing and developing thefuture leaders of South Africa.Igshaan Higgins, one of the

founders, explained that a seriousproblem exists in many areas ofSouth Africa and is attributableto among many other things: thelack of exposure to role models,and coming from economicallymarginalised and dysfunctionalfamilies and neighbourhoods.“For the youth to be prepared to

be tomorrow’s leaders, more em-phasis needs to be put on the lead-

ership development process andless on the immediate results.“Some of the targeted individu-

als may have an idea of what theywould like to do in life but the nec-essary skills needed to realisethese goals are not able to be re-fined or honed in their indigentcommunities.“This organisation has been de-

signed to provide opportunitiesfor young leaders, artists, womenand those with disabilities allhailing from different back-grounds to have the chance to de-

velop and refine their skills as po-tential leaders.”Higgins further explained that

the academy offers a unique com-bination of programmeswith con-tents including long-term leader-ship training, and aims to encour-age the youth to become catalystsfor change, enlighten and createawareness of the problems intheir communities, promotehealthy living, foster social re-sponsibility and community ser-vice, increase self-esteem and en-courage application of various

skills to real-life situations.“In developing this kind of pro-

gramme, the youth will beequipped with conflict resolutionand negotiation and deliberativedemocracy skills, and will be ea-ger and prepared to participate inthe constantly evolving South Af-rica of today and tomorrow.“For these goals to be achieved,

the presence of community mem-bers, experts, specialists andthose of varied fields from withinSouth Africa as well as interna-tional locations,would contribute

to creating the positive atmos-phere needed for change.”To understand why the Market

Deli plays such an important rolein the organisation, one needs tolook at some of the projects theyneed to support.Raneah Carr explains that they

realised that they needed a dy-namic way to raise funds.“We do have some support from

generous sponsors but wewantedto showpeople thatwe could raisefunds on our own, we don’t justwant to go to people with a beg-ging bowl,” she said.“With the deli we have created

an upmarket environment that isfast becoming a favourite place tobe formany families, and the foodis great.”Some of the projects include

promoting sport through the an-nual Trafalgar High Rugby Festi-val and through the festival creat-ing awareness of their leadershiptraining activities.They are also involved in the

annual marching band competi-tions and have embarked on cam-paigns to bring leadership devel-opment to the Eastern Cape.Another ongoing entrepreneur-

ial programme is where theyoung leaders are skilled with,among others, the ability to cooka 70-litre pot of food,which theyare able then able to sell and gen-erate an income for the familyhome.V For more information about the acade­my or deli call Raneah on 083 571 6331.

PENNED BY A JOURNO

All dressed up,nowhere to goSAMANTHA LEE

“All dressed up and nowhere to go” – acommon phrase that many of us mayhave heard at least once or twicethroughout our lives.

A phrase that got me thinking aboutdisappointment.

Why? You may ask with an elementof confusion.

Well it started with a few new outfits,gorgeous shoes and two tickets to a tripanticipated for more than a year.

You get all dressed up, you get excitedand then, boom your plans get can-celled. Then you sit: All dressed up withnowhere to go.

But on that note, where did thisphrase come from and why is it so loose-ly used?

My grandmother said something in-teresting to me once that has stuck withme ever since.

She said: “Don’t wear your bestclothes during the week because youwill never look good when you go out.”

But who do we dress for?Ourselves? Our partners? Our

friends? Or for the average Joe on thestreet?

Some, like myself, dress according totheir mood.

When I don’t feel like putting any ef-fort in, jeans or trackpants work fine.But when I feel like putting on a nicedress, I’m sure people look at me and

think, “Why is she so dressed up? Whereis she going?”.

It makes me wonder why there is anaccepted notion that you are not allowedto look good no matter the occasion.

I suppose it also has to fit within dresscode confines, but even so, who set thestandard for what we should dress likeand when we are allowed to wear niceclothing?

The same goes for the words mygrandmother spoke. Those are idealsthat have been imprinted in the mind-sets of generations while growing up.

I say it is time to change that. Weshould have the freedom to dress theway we feel.

As a fashion lover, I find clothing asan expression of moods, feelings andemotion – so why should you not wantto use it as an outlet to show the worldwho you are?

Besides, dressing well makes you feelgood and gives you confidence. So whoare these people that don’t want us to bethe best versions of ourselves?

For whatever reason you are dressedup ladies and gents, rock your look.Even if you have nowhere to go.

But if you are home and all dressedup, get up, make some plans and showthat look off. If not and you just want tolook good in front of the TV, no judge-ment.

But remember, good clothing andgood style is made to be admired.

LETTERS

‘We partied’til midnight’Oh behalf of my mother and myself, Iwould like to thank People’s Post for themost amazing Mother’s Day concert atGrand West on Saturday night.

I treated my mom to the concert andwe expected to be there for about twohours max. Well, that hall reverberatedfor four hours, it bounced, it rocked, itraised the roof, all while sitting in yourseat – we were in constant rockingmotion, our seats were moving all thetime.

My mom is 84-years-old and we partied’til midnight and so enjoyed the People’sPost concert. The whole night my momjust beamed, laughed with joy, clappedher hands, tapped her feet. What afantastic concert, what a responsiveaudience, what talented and beautifulSouth African women we listened to, andto top it all, the most incredible band –what a super-duper night it was. Thankyou for making our Mother’s Day outing/night so special.

@nickymccain

Ryan Morris’ ringing phone in-terrupts his meeting, but even

before he answers, he knows it’ssomeone phoning to report a suspi-cious person or activity.Its par for the course as last

year’s volunteer Auxiliary LawEnforcement officer of the year.Morris, a member of TBKWatch

in Tamboerskloof, joined the re-servist team that supplements theCity of Cape Town’s law enforce-ment officers in 2013.The City of Cape Town’s Auxilia-

ry Law Enforcement Service, afirst in South Africa, allows formembers of the public to registeras volunteers to perform and assistwith law enforcement duties.The officers receive training at

the Metro Police College in theCriminal Procedure Act and othercomponents applicable to their du-ties.The Auxiliary Law Enforcement

officers deal with a range of inci-dents, Morris says, tackling every-thing from vagrancy, theft, carbreak-ins and responding to callsfrom the neighbourhood watchand police.They have the power to arrest, to

carry out stop and searches, aswellas confiscate stolen goods or goodsbeing traded without a permit.Although the main focus is on

enforcing bylaws, the officers arealso obligated to dealwith any seri-ous offence, including theft andpublic fighting.“We’ve caught someone starting

a fire on the mountain before andintervened. We’ve arrested guysfighting. I’ve come across an acci-

dent where one of the drivers wasdrunk and behaving riotously andarrested him for being drunk anddisorderly,” he says.Often law enforcement and so-

cial issues gohand-in-hand,Morrissays, and sometimes it is the bestoption to take a softer approach.For instance,Morris has worked

on incidents where homeless peo-ple have been assisted into sheltersand work programmes instead ofbeing arrested.

“If I can justifiablyprevent anar-rest, I will. Sometimes it’s better tobring the family in than to arrestsomeone,” he says. “There is morepleasure in helping them than inarresting them.”Morris works full-time as an in-

termediate paramedic, while com-pleting an average of 16 hours ofvolunteer Law Enforcement worka month.He always takes his medical

equipment with him on patrol, and

has provided first responder carewhile waiting for an ambulance incases of stabbing and car crashes.Whenquestioned about thenum-

ber of hours he puts in between hisfull-time position and his Law En-forcement patrols, Morris shrugsit off.“I don’t like sitting around doing

nothing. I got it from my mom.She’s always been one for work-ing.”Morris’ childhood shapednot on-

ly his work ethic, but also his lovefor crime fighting.“We used to belong to the ‘Cape

Town Crime Club’ – we often hadbreak-ins and crime incidents. Thepolice knew my parents by name.Because I was affected, I wanted todo something. I remember howoneday one of the cops gaveme a dock-et and told me to ‘practice on it fornow’,” he says.His ‘crime fighting career’ start-

ed when he was 13, when he wouldjoin “local security guys” on patrolon his bicycle. The neighbourhoodwatch was formed when he was 16,and at 18 he had joined as a mem-ber.“The community needs to help

the police. If you don’t reportcrimes, they won’t know aboutthem.Youmust get involved. If youdon’t want to help yourself, you re-ally can’t complain about things,”he says.As all the auxiliary officers are

members of their local neighbour-hood watches, the position allowsthem to use their policing powersto better protect their communi-ties.“The extra powers allow you to

deal with things yourself. It givesyou the ability to police your ownstreet,” he says.V Applicants who wish to join the volunteerservice must be over 18, mentally and phys­ically fit, have no criminal record and musthave a valid driver’s licence. If they complywith the above, candidates can apply viatheir neighbourhood watch, who will sub­mit applications to the City’s Law Enforce­ment Department. Once applications areverified, applicants are invited to a prelimi­nary diagnostic assessment which theyhave to successfully complete in order toprogress to the next phase.

SLAVE ROUTE CHALLENGE

Runners revel in rewarding challengeEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The 2016 edition of the Slave Route Chal-lenge attracted about 9000 runners – each

running in honour of a a slave whose namehas been recorded on a Column of Remem-brance at the Iziko Slave Lodge – to thestreets of Cape Town on Sunday 8 May.

The route passed various landmarks inthe city linked to slave heritage, includingthe Castle of Good Hope, the Whipping Post,the Old Slave Church, the Iziko Slave Lodgeand the Slave Tree Plague.

Runners on the 10 and 21km routes alsohad to make their way up the renowned“Koesister Hill” in Penz Street. Upon sum-mitting the hill, each runner was offered atraditional Cape Malay koesister.

Embracenewmothers,babiesFormany,Mother’sDay is a time for fami-ly and sharing.However, for some mothers in wards in

state hospitals andMidwifeObstetricUnitsacross Cape Town, it’s a day of loneliness.This year, Cape Town Embrace spent the

day celebrating and supporting new moth-ers.Aimed at achieving solidarity rather

than charity, the movement looks to sparkhuman connections across societal divideswithin the city and support vulnerable chil-dren into the first 1000 days – theirmost sig-nificant developmental period, explainsproject leader Julie Mentor.“Formanywomen, giving birth and stay-

ing in hospital is a lonely time. They areoften away from their loved ones and cir-cles of support when the physical and emo-tional nature of childbirth requires thelove, care and support of family andfriends,” says Mentor.Byconnecting theparents andcaregivers

of children in vulnerable contexts with fel-low citizens, CapeTownEmbrace strives toempower both parties to maximise thechild’s development andpotential together.The movement, started in December

2013, believes that the first 1000 days of achild’s life (from conception to two) are themost powerful if you want to prime a childfor a bright future. Around 80% of the hu-man brain is developed by age two – it’s acritical time tonurture thepotential of chil-dren, Mentor says.“Cape Town Embrace emerged following

information that was released and de-scribed what was happening to the babiesborn in Cape Town. The situation is quitedevastating. Of the approximately 75 000babies born in Cape Town each year, about2000 die before they turn one; 12 000 will bepermanently stunted due to poor nutritionbefore they turn two and about half of thesechildren won’t access any formal ECD ser-vices or go on to finish school,” she says.Themovementuses theworkofAnnMas-

ten, a pioneering researcher in the predic-tors of resilience in young people exposedto poverty, homelessness and other adver-sities. Masten has identified three key pre-dictors including: caring parents, anothercaring adult and connections to opportuni-ties at critical times during the child’s life.This trifecta has been coined ‘OrdinaryMagic’ and can significantly reduce childvulnerability.“Our children are suffering because

there is not enough support. The answerwill never lay solely with the governmentor any organisation. It needs to be a shiftmadebyordinary citizens.Weneed to showsolidarity and empathy. We believe thatmany of our city’s problems are human-made and it will take caring humans to fixthem, one relationship at a time,” she says.Many newmoms travel alone to hospital,

where they give birth and return homeagain with their babies, alone, explainsMentor.Research has shown thatwomenwho are

isolated during pregnancy, birth and in thepost-partum period are at a higher risk ofdeveloping depression and other mentalhealth disorders, she adds.V For more information visit the Cape Town Embraceat www.embrace.org.za.

Riding the waves to the podiumHout Bay local TanikaHoffman and Joa-

quin Del Castillo from Peru clinchedthe women’s and men’s titles respec-

tively in the inaugural Cape Town Pro pre-sented by Quiksilver at Big Bay, Blouberg-strand on Sunday.The first World Surf League (WSL) Quali-

fying Series QS1000 rated events held inCape Town for six years for men and since1992 for women, the Cape Town Pro present-ed competitors with the opportunity to earnpoints on both the QS and WSL Africa re-gional rankings, along with prize- purses ofR30 000 for men and R20 000 for women.Hoffman emerged triumphant in the see-

saw women’s final in which she and FayeZoetmulder (Port Elizabeth) both deliveredscores in the excellent range, taking the leadwith an 8.83 that left Zoetmulder needing an8.60 for victory.“To be a winner in my home town is just

great! I haven’t won an event in so long andto win a WSL event and earn some pointshere is really an honour and so exciting,”says Hoffman. “It was a very well surfed fi-nal. Faye had a couple of really good waves

while I played the patience game. Then Ifound a great little runner that let me do acouple of turns and gave me an eight, andFaye didn’t find another good wave.”Zoetmulder, who like Hoffman has com-

peted extensively on theQScircuit overseas,was proud of the standard of women’s surf-ing at an event in home surf.“It was a really good final with Tanika, we

threw some good scores down. The waveswere pretty tricky and it was challenging soto both be getting scores in the excellentrange was really good,” says Zoetmulder.“I used to surf the QS overseas and to have

two events at homenowandnot have to trav-el is amazing. The girls are all competing,we are getting more entries and I’m stokedfor the all the sponsors to be getting in-volved.”Hoffman pocketed R8000 and 1000 points

for her victory with Zoetmulder collectingR4000 and 750 points. Nikita Robb (East Lon-don) andTarrynChudleigh (Kommetjie) fin-ishedequal thirdafter losing toHoffmanandZoetmulder in their respective semi-finalencounters.

Del Castillo led the high scoring finalagainst Dylan Lightfoot (Jeffrey’s Bay) fromthe outset, weaving his way through thetricky onemetre high tide waves and finish-ing his rides with flair on the sand. The 20-year-old from Punta Hermosa, just South ofLima, posted rides of 7.33 and an excellent8.67 which Lightfoot could not match, de-spite earning a pair of sevens.“I’m so happy! I’ve come a long way from

Peru on my own and I really focused on thiscompetition. This win is for my family, formy country and for Punta Hermosa whereI live,” says an ecstatic Del Castillo, whowascheered from the edge of the water to the po-dium by a pair of local surfers in a heart-warming display of sportsmanship.“Thanks Cape Town, thanks South Africa,I’m really, really happy. Thank you.”The victory earned Castillo R12 000 and

1000 points that will see him jump nearly 100positions up the QS rankings from his rank-ing of 167th coming into the event.Lightfoot, ranked 96th before the Cape

Town Pro, was satisfied with his runner-upfinish and the 750 points that will see him

rise nearly 40 places on the leader board, butwas frustrated at coming so close to a firstQS win.“I was just out of rhythm with the waves

in the final. Joaquin got that eight whichwas a turning point in the heat and he wasinmuchbetter rhythm,” saysLightfoot. “I’msatisfied with second place in a QS event –it’s amajor jumpon the rankings forme. Butwhenyou’re so close towinning that you canalmost taste it, it’s so frustrating coming sec-ond!”Del Castillo defeated top seed Beyrick de

Vries (uMhlanga) and Lightfoot defeatedMichael February (Kommetjie) in their re-spective semi-final match-ups. De Vries andFebruary finished equal third overall withR3 000 and 560 points each.The final day of the event started in glassy

one metre waves, but a thick mist bank thatrolled in after the semi-finals put the eventon hold for more than three hours before itwas completed in brilliant sunshine andwindless conditions.Full results of the Cape Town Pro can be

It has been quite a magical and heart-warming start to the season for Strand-fontein High with a match-winning per-

formance that had the partisan crowd onedge in the Mr. Price Foundation HighSchools Soccer League.The growing pains of the team, affection-

ately known as the “Sea Robbers”, sawthem finish at the bottom of the 2015 leaguechampionship.But the struggles of the past did not im-

pede on the progress of the Strandfonteinside.The rejuvenated Strandfontein side

caused the biggest upset of the openinground by sending Cloetesville High, the de-fending and three-time league champions(2008, 2009 and 2015) crashing to a 2-1 defeat.Chris Joubert’s Cloetesville-side staved

off early pressure. Scott Williams, in theno.7 jersey, constantly troubled a verynervous Dean Gordon in goal.It was the home side, Cloetesville High,

that minutes before half-time surged 1-0ahead through a well execution pin-pointgoal, inwhich the team strung seven passestogether, before Ian Floris landed it safelyinto the back of the net.But after the change-over the schoolboys

from Strandfontein High, which still has75% of last seasons’ squad, started to geland had Cloetesville on the back football.Like a well oil machine the Sea Robbers

picked off the opposition with Andile Dickfirst scoring the equaliser (1-1). With tenminutes remaining on the clock the ever-alert and influential Scott Williams un-leashed a powerful snap-shoot that DeanGordon could not hold and parried it intothe back of the net.Floris’ match-winning goal practically

sent the crowd into a joyous celebration.Chris Joubert and his Cloetesville side willbe quick to admit they were no way neartheir best and that Alexander’s Strandfon-tein side fully deserve their morale boost-ing 2-1 victory.Beacon Hill triumph over Oval NorthLast year’s league runners-up, Beacon

Hill High, topped the log after the openinground following their 3-1 triumph againstarch-rivals Oval North High.However, they could find the goingmuch

tougher against a stubborn and defensiveRocklandsHigh side,who shared the points(1-1) with Lentegeur on Saturday.Beacon Hill was the only side to draw

home that won their game while six of theother teams, which drew away, picked upmaximum points. Nevertheless, Beacon

Hill held a 2-1 lead at the break with AzolaBilly scoring a brace andwith Curwen Bar-ry finding the target for Oval North beforeKeith October added the third for goodmeasure to secure three valuable points.Mondale rise to the occasionMondaleHigh – the 2012 and 2013 champi-

ons – showed glimpses of the side thatwiped out all opposition for two consecu-tive seasons and had their long-time educa-tor and coach – since the introduction of theleague in 2004 – Nigel Crowie smiling fromear to ear. Though the Mondale side beata plucky Aloe High 2-0, it was a victory thatRiyaaz Nell must be accredited with sinceit was his two-goal tonic that led the boysin the navy blue and gold jerseys on theirway to an emphatic 2-0 win.Westridge edge out PrincetonWith the return of Ismail Gasnola – the

coach that helped Westridge High to wintheir second league title in 2010 after beinginaugural champs in 2004 – the school sideinmaroon andwhite did enoughwith somequality playingmethods to conquer Prince-ton High 1-0 in a quite an evenly balancedencounter.Other results: Tafelsig High 2, Glendale

High 1; Cedar High 2, Spine Road 0; Port-land High 2, Woodlands High 1; LentegeurHigh 1, Rocklands High 1.

Steenberg off to national playoffsA highly motivated Steenberg United

will be packing their bags for a trip tothe City of Roses to compete for promo-

tion to the National First Division (NFD).The week-long national play-offs take

place from Monday 6 to Sunday 12 June inBloemfontein.

This comes after Mike Lukukhuene’sSteenberg chargers, who seemed dead andburied after being 1-0 down, turned this ex-citing and absorbing game from the jaws ofdefeat to score twice with the decisivematch-winning goal coming in the referees’added time.

Steenberg were crowned Safa WesternCape Regional ABC Motsepe League cham-pions on thebackof thisunbelievable 2-1 vic-tory against Crystal Palace at the Greens As-troturf sports complex in Manenberg on Sat-urday.

It must be acknowledged that the refereeMasixolo Bambiso from George in full viewof match commissioner and likeable WorldCup accredited FIFA referee Jerome Damonwas on the button and handled this needlein a haystack high pressure encounter bril-liantly.

The valuable three points enabled Steen-bergUnited to consolidate their top of the logposition and end the 2015/2016 season on 66points from 30 matches – one point ahead ofdefending champions Glendene United.

Last season Glendene United also won theleague championshipbyadifference of a sin-gle point, pipping new champions SteenbergUnited, who then had to be content with thebridesmaid tag.

This time round it is owner Shaffie Mow-zer’sGlendene side that had to bite the bulleteven though they too won their away game1-0 against The Magic at Royal Road in Mait-

land on Saturday.The only goal scored in the 70th minute

through Madkane Siyambonga broughtmuch relief and a flicker of hope for Glende-ne United at the time Crystal Palace werestill leading Steenberg United 1-0 in Manen-

berg.However, with all eyes focused on the

clash between Steenberg United and CrystalPalace in which the home side scoredthrough Amir Davids to hold a slender 1-0leadandheld ondesperately for dear life, but

alas Steenberg United found the equaliser inthe 84th minute with a long free kick from50m out through Isma-iel Stanfield and thenin referee’s added optional time Edmund Pe-tersen following a goalmouth melee from acorner kick scored the match winner thatsend the crowd into a frenzy of non-stop joy-ous celebration songs.

“It was an unbelievably great game andthough we came back strongly to turn thingsaround in our favour. I think we deserve towin the league this time round as we workhard all season for league cup success,” saysskipper Marawaan Bantam.

Bantam also played for Cape Town AllStars two seasons before when the All Starsteam under coach Dylan Deane won the re-gional league and promotion to the NFD.

A pretty optimistic and equally confidentupbeat Bantam feels this Steenberg squad isloaded with experience and has a blend oftop quality players that is prepared to fightto the bitter end and is a side that has beentogether for two seasons with coach MikeLukukhuene, an experienced coach who al-so led Chippa United, the Philippi-based sideto the league title and subsequently won pro-motion to the first division pro ranks.

“Therefore we are confident of holdingour own. I’m not saying it is going to be easybut we will prepare well and put up a goodfight in the play-offs to gain promotion,”Bantam concludes.The full ABC Motsepe League results:

Excellent serving by UWC’s Della ex-tended their lead to 19-2. Despite the lead,Della and Malubane scrambled brilliantly,not giving anything away and leading 24-6with two inutes to go before half time.

At the break, UWC led 31-9. With the sec-ond half underway, UWC brought on supersub Prudence Layters for Malubane. ULmanaged to reach double figures as UWCflew past the 50 mark – the final score 58-21.

In the other semi-final the University of

Tuks’ regular starting pair looked flus-teredasUCT’sMichelleBarboureandHan-nah Fox made them move around the courtmore than they’ve had to do in the tourna-ment. It remained tight at 11-11 with threeand a half minutes to go. UCT soon led andTuks took their time out with three min-utes to go, the scores at 14-11. The UCT pairkept their foot on the throat of Tuks, enter-ing half time 21-14 up. Tuks walked out on-to the court a changed team, with Jaime-Lee Wentzel on for Neluvhalani.

A brilliant save and lob by Wentzelpulled it back to 21-18. Before UCT could

score a single point, it was tied up at 21-21.This forced UCT to take their time out. Therest of the match was a dead even contestas the lead changed hands every fewpoints. It was 24-24 with six minutes toplay. The wind was picking up and UCTmade the most of it, pulling ahead again,27-25. But Tuks clawed back ahead, 28-27,with four minutes remaining. A crucial er-ror was made by Michelle Barboure, mis-hitting the ball when UCT trailed 31-33, andit cost them dearly. The score ended 35-33to Tuks.

A brilliant rally kicked off proceedingsas UWC drew first blood against Tuks inthe final. UWChad settled onBejanckaDel-la and Prudence Layters as a starting pair.

The scores changed a number of times inthe first half, with UWC the first to take atwo-point lead, 6-4, after threeminutes.The

lead switched hands again, but UWC led 16-12 with a minute to play in the first half.

At half time it was 18-15. The second halfstarted with a bang. An incredible save byUWC’s star, Della, and they led 20-15 aftertwo minutes. Tuks were fighting to stay init and trailed by just three points, 22-19,with seven minutes to play. Time out wascalled by UWC at 23-22 with just under sixminutes remaining. When teams wereback on the court, Tuks made costly errors.

UWC extended their lead to 29-24 and apoint later Tuks claimed time out with justtwo and a half minutes left and scores at30-24. Basetsane Malubane came on forLayters with two minutes left on the clock.That slowed momentum for the hosts andTuks pulled it back to 30-27.

But Della’s class pulled UWC over thefinish line. UWC won 33-29.
