rafters living in Grassy Park and surrounding areas are invited to join The Craft Route to get more exposure for their work.

“The Craft Route is not a route per se, with a starting point or a finishing line, but is homes in the different areas that are opened to other residents to showcase their craft.

Each area has its own facilitator who organises the gathering. I am urging residents to get in contact with their area facilitator if they want to be part of The Craft Route,” says Robin Oakes, founder of ThinkTank SA. The areas that form part of The Craft Route are Pelican Park, Lotus River, Parkwood, Zeekoevlei and Grassy Park.

EL ED

“Each facilitator organises a workshop in her area, has a graduation ceremony, invites motivational speakers to encourage women and entrepreneurs to share what they are doing, and faith leaders as guest speakers. We don’t have the traditional craft markets once a week or month, but a get-together of neighbours in a street at one home where they share their craft,” he says.

Intensive craft development courses are offered where you can learn crafts such as beading, how to make candles, make your own jewellery and soap.

“The respective area facilitators also offer other introduction workshops over one or three days for our broader local communities.

The Craft Route begins in Grassy Park – our Community ThinkTank hub can be considered as its ‘start’. The Craft Route is an interconnected route of homes which meanders

throughout the broader Grassy Park communities,” Oakes says.

According to him, The Craft Route is a growing initiative and he hopes more residents will start crafting.

“In Grassy Park, Vanessa and Rikki Ryklief are the area facilitators and Rikki, who began with making leather sandals, has more than 30 years’ crafting experience. He was the originator of the Green Point craft market and was also on the management board of Pelican Park. In Lotus River, the area facilitator is Graham Dreyer, in Zeekoevlei Fiona Edwards is in charge, in Parkwood/Fairways we have Sandra Green, and Pelican Park/ Schaapkraal it is Amanda Lopes,” Oakes says.

Lopes has more than 20 years’ experience of crafting and also ran workshops for Cape Flats Development Association (Cafda) at the

e are all familiar with the saying “nothing can replace experience” and this is exactly what was on display at the Over-50s Cricket World Cup from 11 March to 15 March in Cape Town.

Cricketers from yesteryear representing their countries showed they still have the skills that made them household names in their playing days.

The tendency among young players nowadays is that they know everything and don’t need advice from senior players who played in an era when there were no specialised training, academies or personal trainers – something the young players do have.

When Alan Dawson played for Western Province and the Proteas in his youth, he was a bowler who could swing a match in his team’s favour. And he did it again for the SA team during the Over-50s World Cup in two consecutive matches against Wales and England. My experience as a journalist spans 38 years. Being back in the workforce, I like

to share my knowledge with the newbies.

But not everyone is open to advice.

When I again put on my journalist hat at WP Media in 2017, it was an adjustment just to get tech-savvy – something I lacked, big time. Luckily, I could ask a colleague to assist me and, for the past three years, I have tried not to pester anyone with small things.

However, despite my best intentions, every now and then, I do have to ask for help.

There is also a saying in the office that I go out for one interview and come back with three or more stories. This really baffles my colleagues but that is where the 38 years of experience come in.

For example, you attend a function or launch and by just looking at who are there, you can generate stories. I also don’t take a press release at face value. As we say in print, “read between the lines” to get a new spin on a story; as long as it is hyper-local.

Why am I mentioning all of this?

To show that even I am not too old to learn.

When I started out in journalism in 1982, I was taught that if you don’t know what a story’s angle should be, ask.

Sometimes, without thinking, my mouth runs away with me, suggesting angles for stories that is no business of mine.

But do I feel guilty about sharing my “opinion” with whomever is listening?

Nope, because we all work for one newspaper and if I can contribute by being “meddlesome”, so be it.

All I ask is that everyone should be open to criticism and advice and not to take it personally.

As a journalist, you learn to grow a thick skin over the years. But your resolve, especially if you also have to contend with the challenges that come with being a parent, is tested daily.

Don’t let anyone tell you experience and youth cannot be a dynamic combination. But for this to work, egos have to be put aside!

tion is to drive City vehicles every day.

“The criteria was to obtain the highest score from five driving manoeuvres. The total score is 500 and each manoeuvre weighs 100 points,” she says.

Prior to the competition, the drivers had a practice session. “The competition comprises of three categories namely Code B, C1, C, EC1 and EC and the winners are selected from each category. The competition was hosted by the City’s occupational health and safety fleet risk control division and staff members from different City departments took part,” Cottle says.

The annual competition was first held in 1995. The objective of the competition is to enhance the drivers’ road-safety knowledge, to prevent and reduce crashes and to

reduce fleet maintenance costs. The competition also gives recognition to all good drivers who use the City’s vehicles daily.

The first, second and third place winners will receive a trophy, a certificate and a gift at a separate awards ceremony.

“I want to commend all staff who willingly put their driving skills under the spotlight in this competition. This shows their commitment to being proud City ambassadors by displaying high levels of competency in meeting the challenges of the competition. We acknowledge also that these driving skills play a big part in ensuring that key components of the City’s operations function effectively,” Cottle says.

The winners of the competition will be announced later in the year.

She adds: “A hygienic protocol will be in place when donations are delivered. People can WhatsApp or email me to arrange dropoffs. Sometimes we have to do things out of the ordinary to respond to the needs in each and every household.

“People need to open their hearts and purses to provide,” she says.

Yesterday, she told People’s Post that support had been coming in. “I’ve got pledges and people have brought in soap bars. One or two come in with bars. Someone came in with 10 bars of soap. It’s heart-warming because you can see some people don’t even have for themselves but they’re contributing.”

V To donate, contact Gerry Gordon on 082 82 50 511 or drop off your donations at her office at the corner of St Stephen Avenue and Military Road in Seawinds.

ard 67 will get a much-needed boost as its ward councillor, Gerry Gordon, takes on a challenge to help safeguard the community against Covid-19.

For 72 hours – three full days – Gordon will be living out of her office, campaigning to encourage the public to make contributions to assist vulnerable communities. She is calling for donations of gloves, sanitisers, bars of soap and masks. “We want to draw attention to the matter. The appeal is to individuals, private companies, churches, mosques, and organisations to assist because many people have been stock-piling while others can’t afford sanitisers and such.”

She began yesterday, Monday 23 March.

From 8:00 to 19:00 – Monday to Wednesday – she will be collecting the donations at her office. She says she will also be making her way to the informal settlements to hand out leaflets and create awareness.

She says she won’t accept any deliveries after 19:00 but “I will respond to possible or potential donors, send out emails, collate information and look at our distribution points”.

Once all the donations are collected and packaged, she says it will be “distributed to ward 67 – and of the beneficiaries would be informal settlements and the elderly”.

Councillor Gerry Gordon has embarked on an awareness Ward 67 covers the campaign to drive donations of specific items for redistribution Overcome Heights, Vry- to residents.

LAVENDER HILL

‘Think of vulnerable communities’ RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

W

hile white-collar workers, who traditionally reside in affluent areas, have been encouraged to start working from home, Ralph Bouwers is concerned about the plight of blue-collar workers who

are not afforded the same luxury.

Bouwers says, as a result of this, it stands to reason that residents from poorer communities, such as the Cape Flats and townships, will be harder hit by the Covid-19 outbreak.

Bouwers, the founder of the community upliftment initiative Guardians of the National Treasure (GNT), works closely with children

from Lavender Hill. The non-profit organisation (NPO) has launched several sporting and art clubs to provide a constructive outlet for children. But since president Cyril Ramaphosa’s decree to close schools to encourage social distancing, Bouwers says the community has been in a state of limbo.

“We have completely stopped everything; nothing is happening. I walked through the community yesterday and the kids were sitting in the courts. In every corner, I could see 10 to 20 kids just sitting.”

One of his main concerns is that vulnerable communities have not been educated and equipped to handle the outbreak.

“There’s been no way to prepare the communities with sanitisers and wipes. The only organisation that came to the party was Peninsula Schools Feeding Association which donated 500 loaves of bread and they sent that to lots of locations.”

In addition to the lack of resources available to practice good hygiene, little social distancing is being practised in Lavender Hill, according to Bouwers.

“On certain days, I’ve seen about 60 kids just walking in the road,” he says.

“It has been recommended to wash your hands for 20 seconds but here they have to share a bowl to wash their hands.

“What’s happening is that the poor areas have been crippled.”

The solution, Bouwers recommends, is for relief organisations and NPOs to gather resources and to get knowledgeable people into vulnerable communities to educate residents in small groups. He has also contacted various organisations in Cape Town to ask for assistance. “We must shift support to where it is needed; in the areas lacking resources and townships.”

GNT will be distributing food it has received from supporting organisations to vulnerable communities. “ We will be doing this in a controlled and orderly manner.”

Another concern is the effect the temporary shutdown of businesses, and the subsequent lack of work will have on the already crime-ridden community.

“In my street, three of the youngsters have been told not to come to work; that there is no work for them. What that is going to do to the crime – when people don’t have money and need to put food on the table.”

Local Lavender Hill sports teams and children who used to participate in sport as a means to stay off the street are now at risk once again as the Covid-19 pandemic halts sporting activities.

Continue to support Choc

HEALTH INITIATIVE

Covid-19 is having a global impact, affecting each and every one of us.

Of concern to Choc Childhood Cancer Foundation is the health and safety of all personnel involved with Choc, especially the children and teenagers with cancer who are undergoing treatment, many of whom have compromised immune systems.

“In addition, the restrictions placed on all of us, as outlined by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his speech (on Sunday 15 March), has complicated our operations and is placing limits on what we can do. At the same time our priority is that the children and teens we serve must continue to get the vital services, support and care they need from us,” says Lynette Muthuray, Western Cape regional manager for Choc.

Because of these restrictions, she says, all Choc fundraising events (both internal and external) and Choc Cow sporting activities have been cancelled, which is going to result in a significant loss of income in the foreseeable future.

“Without a steady flow of income, we will struggle to continue to provide our beneficiaries with the care and support they need which will have a significant impact on their overall well-being.”

In a plea to the public, she asks all who are able to, to continue to support Choc’s efforts. “We would like to appeal to all of our loyal supporters to open their hearts and help us to continue to walk the journey with the children and their families by making a donation to Choc during this difficult time. This would be highly appreciated and it would help us to continue in keeping more than hope alive.”

Jon Hopkins, acting director and chief operations officers of U-turn, says the homeless are particularly vulnerable to the virus because they have both compromised immune systems and a shortage of facilities to wash their hands. “We all face this threat, the greatest being that our healthcare facilities might be overwhelmed.

wards.” The registered Christian non-governmental organisation (NGO) based in Claremont assists up to 1 000 people who face homelessness every year and with the current economic downturn, the number of people needing assistance is likely to rise sharply. Hopkins says when faced with a personal crisis, there is a risk that we lose empathy for others. “This is a time of uncertainty for us all, and while the work that U-turn was doing before the outbreak was important, it is increasingly so today. In this difficult time, it is only by pulling together that we can reduce the suffering for all.”

Here are some ways that you can help:

. Donate soap. Soap is a scarce commodity for those on the streets and can save lives.

Donated soap can be dropped off in any U-turn clothing bin, store or at the NGO’s head office located on the corner of Stegman Road, Hawthorne Road and Claremont Boulevard. . Ask your counsellor for public water points. During the 2018 water crisis, public taps were removed and never replaced. Ask ward counsellors to establish water points with access to soap for the homeless to wash their hands.

V To donate or drop off, go to Homeless.org.za/coronavirus-response or Homeless.org.za/contact-us.

Newlands hosts mini-cricket O

ver 1 000 kids attended the Western Province KFC mini-cricket provincial festival at the Newlands cricket ground on Friday 13 March.

The programme brings youngsters from across the country together and not only introduces them to the wonderful game of cricket, but also allows them to play and have fun.

The festival was hosted by the Cape Cobras, with players Simon Khomari, Isaac Dikgale and Rory Kleinveldt all there to assist in coaching the kids and looking for talent.

The Western Province women’s team came out in full force including their coach Claire Terblanche as well as Proteas players and Western Province players Sinalo Jafta, Andrie Steyn and Laura Wolvaardt.

Wolvaardt has just returned from the Women’s T20 World Cup and where she was picked in the combined World XI. “I started playing cricket by playing mini-cricket and it started with me just playing to do

something to keep me busy but I see that things have changed considerably since I played. I can see that there are a lot more kids playing mini-cricket, they know a lot more about cricket than what I used to and they really have a lot of fun. As players we don’t always know the impact that we have on the players. My brother plays rugby and when his mates come back from a mini-cricket festival they tell him about all the professional players that they have met and how the players have inspired them. Who knows, one of the kids that I spoke to today could be the next Laura Wolvaardt.” said Jafta.

“We had 1 000 kids and over 200 coaches that come from schools from all five regions in the Western Cape. These youngsters and their teachers get excited to play on a big stage like the Newlands Cricket ground where they get to see their heroes play. It was special for the kids to get to see (Simon) Khomari, (Isaac) Dikgale, (Laura) Wolvaardt, (Andrie) Steyn and (Sinalo) Jafta at the fes-

tival, but the big surprise for me was when retired Proteas player Rory Kleinveldt actually asked me if he could attend the festival to coach the kids. It just shows how special the programme is for the players for them to ask to be part of it,” said Mark Khoabane, Western Province mini-cricket coordinator.

The attending children from the various schools across the province are a part of the 124 000 kids from 6 495 schools that take part in over 44 000 mini-cricket matches around the country over the cricket season.

The mini-cricket programme remains one of the most significant development programmes in the South African sporting landscape and goes far beyond the game of cricket.

Children from all walks of life will continue to have a platform that will help them grow, develop and shine in hopes of reaching their full potential and realise their dreams and possibly become the future stars of this country, like their Protea heroes.
