Anglican Church’s response to poverty and inequality in southern Africa. The NGO has been working with Bishops to help with a recovery and rebuilding plan for the country that include meeting immediate needs.

The school is also involved in other projects at Athwood.

“On Tuesdays, we donate fruit and sandwiches, and the stationery is only once a year. In July last year we donated books for the Bongani Mayosi Library at the school. Bishops also supplies the treats for the end-of-year party at Athwood,” Mark says.

thwood Primary School in Hanover Park received a welcome donation of stationery from Bishops Preparatory School in Rondebosch on Tuesday 4 February.

The partnership between the two schools has been in place for more than six years.

“The donation is from the boys and parents, which was a civvies day collection. We asked the boys to bring some new stationery and brought it here to be handed over to the principal, Evan Petersen,” says Delene Mark of Hope Africa.

Hope Africa is a non-profit organisation (NPO)) created as the

Academy in Langa, St Pauls Primary in Schotsche Kloof, some creches in Langa, a few orphanages, the Community Chest and animal shelters. We have not really quantified any donations unless it is cash as in the case of the refurbishing of the toilets at St Pauls,” she says.

The Vusa Rugby Academy is a NGO that brings about social upliftment for under-privileged children through sports.

Petersen says: “The donation of the stationery is a burden lifted for parents and learners for the second term. More food will be on the table as there won’t be any stress about buying stationery again.”

Support for businesses The Western Cape Government is offering support for businesses who suffer as a result of load shedding.

“We recognise that load shedding has a major impact on the bottom line of businesses.

That is why we are doing everything we can to build energy resilience in the Western Cape and beat load shedding,” says provincial minister for economic development and tourism, David Maynier.

“One of the ways to achieve energy security is through the installation of solar photo-voltaic (PV) in your business or home. Solar PV can save you money and protect you from electricity price increases.”

If your business is considering the installation of rooftop PV, or if you require any advice with energy-related matters, email GreenCape on energy@green-cape.co.za. or email 110Green@westerncape.gov.za.

CARNIVAL RETURNS: The Cape Town Carnival will celebrate a new decade with its 11th annual parade on the Fan Walk on Saturday 21 March. People’s Post is an official media partner. Expect to see and hear sounds of South Africa through the incredible journey told with mobile floats and 2 000 performers.

Important legacy keeps going the distance While entries for this year’s Slave Route Challenge have been closed, interested participants can still submit their applications online.

Organisers have extended the online registration to Friday 14 February, with the main run taking place on Sunday 23 February. This year’s run also marks 10 years since the race’s inception. The event caters for the avid runner or walker and novice with a half marathon, 10km run, 10km walk and 5km fun run/walk on offer.

The added appeal of this event is that it takes ownership of the country’s past, changes the narrative of South Africa’s heritage and transforms it into a legacy for future generations.

The route starts in front of the City Hall, in Darling Street, right in front of the balcony where the late President Nelson Mandela made his first speech after his release from Victor Verster Prison.

Runners and walkers get an opportunity to see some of Cape Town’s breathtakingly beautiful views including District Six, the Company Gardens, Bo-Kaap, the Castle of Good Hope, the Hurling Swing Pump, SA Jewish Museum, Slave Bell, Dorp Street Mosque, Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum, Gallows Hill, the majestic Atlantic Seaboard, Fort Wynyard, Prestwich Memorial, Iziko Slave Lodge, the Slave Tree Plaque and Palestine Museum. The run will finish on the Grand Parade where the Whipping Some of

Post used to be.

Each year the race has a commemorative medal and a race beneficiary. Last year the race beneficiary, Mary Harding, received R65 000.

This year the race beneficiary is Lofob – League Of the Friends Of the Blind. Lofob is based in Grassy Park and was established in 1933 as a registered non-profit, public benefit organisation serving the needs of blind and visually impaired children, youth and adults, and their families, throughout

the Western Cape and further afield.

Dr Armand Bam, CEO of Lofob, says: “We are proud to be associated with the Slave Route Challenge Powered by Brimstone.

Our rich heritage as an organisation serving those most impoverished and the significance of this race as a reminder of our country’s history, makes this a significant celebration. We are proud to celebrate 10 years of meaningful impact together with this event.”

HANOVER PARK

Local cricket club invests in learners of four schools AVRIL FILLIES

T

yardstick for others to kindly consider partnering with us. These organisations, are Snoek Wholesalers under the retail brand Fish Rite and its owner Robert Zive who doubles as patron of the club, charity organisations such as Awqaf SA, Islamic Relief SA, Mustadafin Foundation and SANZAF among a few others. “Private individuals are also sponsoring and some choosing to remain anonymous. One such individual was the late Johann Mets, who while alive wanted us to make it known that he is the ‘Old Cricketer’ who basically kick-started our tour and the pending tour of a group of u.14 cricketers from Birmingham. We will be hosting them from Sunday 16 February to Tuesday 25 February,” he says.

Mets decided to help the boys and the club, as he also toured overseas when he was their age and he remembered the impact it had on him. He peacefully passed away on 12 December last year, Allie says.

Jeannette Christians, daughter of Mets, said her dad loved cricket and he knew it takes time to develop a cricketer, both in the sport and as an individual.

“You cannot separate the two, the sport requires honesty, humility and consideration for others, never mind the physical aspects of honing skills through disciplined and hard practice. These are all attributes that are invaluable to develop in youngsters to lay a solid base for adulthood,” she says.

Christians further adds that from an early an age, her father was fortunate enough to be nurtured and encouraged in his cricket by her grandfather, other adults and later his own friends, and experienced decades of friendship and sheer fun playing the game and watching it. It opened doors for him that he probably would not have entered, but brought many wonderful people into his life and gave him so much joy.

“I think that he saw a small way to contribute to the development of youngsters whose passionate elders and leaders needed some assistance in nurturing these young sportsmen and women into the ‘love and life of cricket’ and all that this encompasses. He would have so enjoyed attending one of their cricket games with the Birmingham Bulls arriving on Saturday,” Christians says.

he cricket coaching programmes by the Fish Rite Hanover Park Cricket Club at Blomvlei, Morgenson, Summit and Athwood primary schools in Hanover Park has been going strong since 2016.

“We identified the four specific schools for now and our intention is to do the entire area. Due to budget constraints and a lack of proper support by various stakeholders, we are currently only busy with them. Since 2016 we’ve coached more than 1 500 learners,” says Ashraf Allie, chair of the cricket club.

The club’s focus is on mass participation and as they develop and grow the learners, some are moved into different teams.

“We have an annual quad 6-a-side tournament between the schools with great success and the demand is so high that from next term we’re going to host mini-cricket every Wednesday for those in the age group of 6 to 9 years old. This is to allow them to transition from being introduced to the game, to eventually love the game and start playing hard ball cricket,” he says.

There is a massive need to allow our youth (boys and girls) to play sport and despite football, netball and other cultural activities taking place we still see many youth that are not on the sports field.

“Madiba said it himself, sport and education works hand in hand and in fact he included business to play its part. This is a message I would like to drive home and kindly appeal to our many corporates and private business owners out there, to continue to consider organisations like ours as we implement real life interventions with low budgets and at times with no budgets.”

The schools are already under tremendous pressure to provide academic facilities, according to Allie. The club hopes to place the focus on sport, too. “These programmes and sponsorships, donations and fundraisers helped us arrange two overseas tours for the community of Hanover Park and others on the Cape Flats (one in April 2017 to Qatar with 23 soccer boys of Cape Flats Sports Academy, an u.14 team with seven management and 14 cricket players in August 2019 to the UK,” Allie says.

Besides the cricket and soccer coaching, the club helps facilitate donations for the schools’ feeding schemes and also with the provision of stationery.

“The two organisations I lead (Fish Rite Hanover Park Cricket Club, as chair and Cape Flats Sports Academy, as CEO) together with dedicated other office bearers and management are both non-profit and public benefit organisations, so we have good and proper corporate governances in place,” he says.

“It would be wrong of me to not mention certain companies and charities that have Vice chair, Riyaad Gamieldien (taking selfie); club captain, Shafwaan Doutie; u.14 captain Carl come on board, which should be used as a Damon; the late Dr Johann Mets; vice captain, Sherwin Mei and chair, Ashraf Allie.

Toddlers instrumental in educare room AVRIL FILLIES When two toddlers, aged three and five from Flamingo Heights informal settlement, arrived at Jumpstart Pre-school and Educare in Kenwyn two years ago, they never knew they would be instrumental in helping their area establish a new educare room.

“When they arrived at Jumpstart they could only speak Afrikaans and their parents wanted a better chance in school for them. No early childhood development (ECD) centre in the area wanted to accept them because they come from an ‘informal settlement’ and were Afrikaans-speaking and I enrolled them with us. At Jumpstart our motto stands firm: every child deserves an education,” says Aziza Ebrahim, principal at the school.

“Both children thrived, conversed fluently in English, became confident and made an impact on all of us. Mark Kleinschmidt, councillor for ward 60, is witness to this. It

bothered me immensely, knowing that there are so many children in Flamingo Heights, who ought to benefit from an education. I approached Kleinschmidt, who okayed the idea and in December, I made the commitment,” Ebrahim says.

“After calling a meeting with the women in Flamingo Heights, we started the Little Paradise Educare Room and they were eager to help spring clean, paint, mop, fix, sort and set up a stimulating environment for the children.

“The mothers and fathers were so helpful, because they understood that we want only the best for them!”

To date, they have an up-and-running educare with eight children, a principal, a cook and a cleaner at the Little Paradise Educare Room in Flamingo Heights.

“Everything my Jumpstart Educare children experience, my Little Paradise children will have too.

“We had a Lilliput production at Jump-

start in Kenwyn and they were also present.

Their thank you’s were so heart-warming.”

Currently Jumpstart, in conjunction with Kleinschmidt, are looking for sponsors to help repair the roof at Little Paradise.

“The roof is full of holes, which need to be replaced. They need weekly or monthly groceries, basic food like maize, rice, bread, margarine and other toppings.”

She adds that the educare room grew and learners from Athwood, Morgenson and Portia primary schools now also want a safe haven to do their homework at the aftercare facility. “They are also hungry and must be fed and supervised.”

She believes Jumpstart can make it work, they will make it work and must make it work.

“The sun shines for everyone and there is no discrimination. If you want to donate, feel free to contact me,” she says.

OCEAN INITIATIVE

Time to ‘sea the bigger picture’

RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

D

espite only starting at the age of 33, Shamier Magmoet was able to launch #SeaTheBiggerPicture Ocean Initiative aimed at ocean conservation and is now committed to educating others too.

Growing up in the Cape Flats, Magmoet wasn’t exposed to many things but, four years ago, he was given the opportunity to experience what many others never will.

“We have this mindset that diving isn’t for us – that it’s for a particular race and the privileged. One of our biggest problems is access,” said Magmoet.

Pointing to a spot in Simon’s Town, he said: “Before I started the #SeaTheBiggerPicture Ocean Initiative about four years ago, I came here for my first dive. Junaid Petersen, who is now one of my directors, invited me. That’s when I slapped on a mask for the first time and saw the beauty of the ocean.”

He said he was very scared. “I just kept on hearing the theme song of Jaws playing.

Once I relaxed, I started opening my eyes and noticing the beauty of the ocean.”

On one of his first few dives, he met Sharon Lee Martin from Trail Freedivers. She taught him about the ocean and its creatures. Once he was able to appreciate the wonders of the ocean, he decided to get others interested.

“I brought my nieces and their school friends to the ocean every weekend and taught them how to snorkel in the tidal pools. Seeing the look on their faces was priceless,” he said.

After two years of connecting with likeminded people, completing courses on snorkelling safety and piquing the interests of others, Magmoet, together with Chris Krauss, launched the initiative. With the help of a number of organisations and other initiatives, they were able to launch three key programmes.

The team hosts corporate engagements and school talks to educate the public. Marine biologist Mike Barron from Cape Research and Diver Development (RADD) often joins the educational talks.

Beach clean-up events are one of their biggest programmes.

“We have live puppet shows, a jellyfish talk and a recycling run by False Bay Trading’s Yolanda Valentine. She talks to the kids about recycling. We have sorting stations to teach kids what can be recycled and what can’t,” he explained.

“Then we have volunteers who go through the trash meticulously to find all the little animals and put them back in the water.

They clean harbours too, collect data on the top 12 trash items found, and also check off their brand tally sheet.

“It’s a sheet to say, ‘Come on guys, take responsibility for your items. Look at how much of your trash is out there.’ ” Defenders of the Blue, a full-year programme, takes on 24 kids. The learners will be chosen from Rylands High School and Fairmount High School, 12 from each.

Magmoet encourages all to get involved with the beach clean-ups or other programmes to #SeaTheBiggerPicture.

If you are planning to check out the new doggie hotel, beware, you may not leave there alone.

Thanks to the unique collaboration between a dog hotel and pet adoption centre housed in one building on the Foreshore, the SuperWoof hotel will directly benefit thousands of dogs in need of homes, while treating your pet to the time of their lives.

The Woof Project is the pop-up adoption initiative powered by Oscars Arc – a registered non-profit organisation. While the pop-up initiative will continue, the project is now housed together with Super Woof.

Oscars Arc and SuperWoof is the brainchild of Joanne Lefson and was inspired by her adopted dog, Oscar, who travelled to 42 countries with her to create awareness for dog adoption.

Since its inception in 2017, the Woof Project has rehomed 2 241 dogs.

The hotel was launched on Thursday 6 February.

“This is a community effort,” says Lefson. “The objective is that anyone who drops their dog off at SuperWoof to know their dog is going to have an out-of-world experience. Also for every dog that comes in from our collaborating shelters to know an amazing home is on the horizon.”

Features include specialised beds and pools with indoor and outdoor decks for play and lounging.

Hotel managing director, Bianca Couch, says the project was a few months in the making.

“As a way to make this sustainable enough to have a permanent adoption centre, we thought of introducing the hotel. This is created in line with Oscars Arc,” says Couch.

“It is a natural collaboration be-

tween having a dog adoption centre and an extraordinary dog hotel. For those not adopting a dog, we hope you will come and book your dog in.

Those who book in, we hope you make it to the third floor and adopt a dog,” says Lefson.

“The success of the adoption centre is fully dependent on the success of the hotel. Every booking goes to saving dogs’ lives.”

There can be between 35 and 45 dogs up for donation at any time.

The dogs are from existing shelters.

“Oscar’s Arc was created as a way to create positivity around dog adoption,” says Couch. “When you go to the shelter, it is quite a heartwrenching experience.”

Dogs can interact with people and the adoption centre is open from 10:00 to 16:00, weekly.

The V&A Waterfront and Constantia Village Woof Project pop-up branches, run from containers, are still operational.

“The aim of the tour is to reignite the flame between players, as the club has sadly dropped to Super League C. We are eagerly trying to develop a ‘rugby culture’ that will be sustainable for the community. The opportunity to bond as a fraternity whilst experiencing a new culture is an interesting learning adventure. This journey will also allow the club an opportunity to foster a sustainable and successful relationship with our Turkish counterparts,” he says.

Nazeem Jones, the tour manager, stated that a lot of hard work had gone into planning the tour. He commends the players for their determination and hard work, which was needed to raise funds.

“The club had numerous fundraisers in a short period, many players hosted their own fundraisers so that all expenses could be covered. Many people thought the tour would not happen, however this motivated the players and Exco to ensure that everyone’s hard work would pay off. This attitude is one we intend to foster and use throughout 2020 and in each game this year,” Abbas says.

Two senior players Ishma-eel Allie and Hishaam Samaai, who started the initiative, said all the players made financial sacrifices and offered up their time to make the tour a reality. Once all the tickets were booked and confirmed the players were a bit more at ease.

Rangers president Nur Peters wished the team a safe journey and thanked the sponsors, who assisted the club.

“Going on tour has always been our dream, and the team is excited to represent not only the club but also the community of Surrey Estate,” Peters says.

HANOVER PARK

UCT medical alumni empower young learners AVRIL FILLIES

T

he Athwood Primary School library in Hanover Park was funded mostly by the University of Cape (UCT) Town Medical School Class of 1993 reunion and private donors. Named after the late dean of the faculty of health sciences at UCT, Professor Bongani Mayosi, the library was launched just over a year ago.

“At the school we are privileged to have Christine Adams as the librarian. Every day in her classes she shows that the child in her is still very active. The learners enjoy the library period and when you walk around the school you can hear the laughter and giggles coming from the library,” says Evan Petersen, principal of Athwood.

The library is one of three projects administered by the non-profit organisation (NPO) Good Deeds Charity Group. The other two are the refurbished computer lab and multimedia centre at Heideveld Primary School, named the Carol Thomas Computer Lab and launched in May last year, and the Roger Mason Freedom 1994 Library at the York Road Primary School in Lansdowne – also a library and multimedia facility – funded by the UCT Class of 1994 reunion late last year.

“The Good Deeds Charity Group unites friends, colleagues and other like-minded individuals who wish to empower underprivi-

leged scholars by giving them access to tools we had and that our kids enjoy. This will allow them to excel at school and make further studies an option,” says Dr Azgher Karjiker, one of the trustees of the organisation.

The tools and further studies will better prepare kids for future employment.

“Through our good deeds, they will prosper and be able to fend for themselves and their families. The NPO has partnered with Breadline RSA, the Bookery, Cape Winds Construction (project managers), EPC computer supplies and some private donors whose aim is to promote basic education by providing reading material and computers to schools in underprivileged areas,” he says.

The NPO is currently building a kitchen to the value of R163 243 at Athwood. The project comprises a prefab structure, ventilation and electrical installation. One of the top retailers pledged to fit out the kitchen. “The computer lab upgrade for Heideveld will cost R88 032 and we are also donating books to the library at the school. The bookery is a managing project on its own. The Med School Class of 1995 reunion will help Vuyani Primary School in Gugulethu during this year. We also cover the ongoing monthly costs of the librarians who staff the libraries.

“Should any other classes or friends wish to help fund these initiatives, please email me on drk@drk-ent.com,” Karjiker says.

Learners enjoy role-play in the Bongani Mayosi Library at Athwood Primary School.

COMEDY

Locals part of funny festival K

eenan Cerff and Obed Plaatjes from Lavender Hill are featuring in their show Weird but Funny during the Mother City Comedy Festival at the Baxter Theatre on Wednesday 19 February.

They started their comedy careers at the same time and quickly discovered they have a lot in common, both being quirky on stage and off stage.

“I am a comedian, actor and emerging playwright with a quirky and witty sense of humour. Our show is a two-hander stand-up comedy about two comedians who tell their narrative as to where they find themselves as comedians. They discuss weird but funny stories about themselves by bringing up their rollercoaster moments in comedy and life in general,” Plaatjes says.

He has performed at every big stage in Cape Town and has shared the stage with some big names in the industry. He performed at the Comedy Club, Hanover Street in GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World, The Box (Run by Goliaths), at national arts festivals, the Baxter Theatre and sev-

eral others.

“As an actor, I’ve performed at some of the leading theatres as well. I played a part in the soap opera Suidooster and the film Endless River,” Plaatjes says.

His CV is filled with experiences he gained in the early stages of his career. He produced a theatre show Vrou van orde, that was showcased at the Alexander Bar Theatre.

Cerff has been in comedy field since 2014, performing all across Cape Town. In recent years he performed in Durban, Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg.

“I opened the shows for a host of top South African comedians, and was chosen to perform at the Trevor Noah presents Nationwild. People should come and see our show Weird but Funny.

“They will not only walk away with a good laugh but they will also end up walking away with something by learning a lot from the stories told,” Cerff says.

The show at the Baxter Theatre starts at 19:00 and tickets can be purchased through Webtickets.

Education programme kicks off at Artscape Artscape is launching its annual education and training programme that seeks to provide better access to the arts, today (Tuesday 11 February).

The launch will be followed by the first quarterly free Lunch Hour Concert of 2020, featuring Cape Town Opera and the Unmute Dance Company.

The diverse year-long arts education programme, in collaboration with the City of Cape Town and the provincial government, among others, attempts to address some of the socio-economic challenges facing today’s youth, such as distance, transport, lack of funds and disability.

The aim is to develop the next generation of arts and performance practitioners. The programme wants to put the spotlight on that which is hidden or marginalised. Projects such as the Artscape Women and Humanity Festival, Youth Jazz, the isiXhosa set work production, Buzani ku Bawo, the ArtsAbility Festival and the celebration of national holidays speaks to this transformation mandate.

Artscape CEO Marlene le Roux says: ‘‘By giving participants access to worldclass stages with professional lighting and production values, our programme inspires young people’s creative dreams, helps them to grow as performers and art-

ists, and drives employment”.

Le Roux says Artscape’s Schools Arts Festival will see learners from about 15 schools deliver a programme of choral music, theatre and contemporary dance, while the High School Drama Festival engenders latent creative talent.

Their mandate speaks to the promotion and involvement of township and rural communities in the centre’s arts activities and recruiting rural communities to become actively involved in theatre productions.

“This includes the annual rural outreach programme that takes the theatre to the people.”

The Artscape resource centre and technical training academy transforms education within the arts and is changing the perceptions and aspirations towards mainstreaming professionals into marketable brands and building sustainability with the arts and culture sector, says Le Roux.

These productions are the result of partnerships and collaborations with artists, producers and various stakeholders who assist with producing, while Artscape provides the venue and in-house technical infrastructure.

Keenan Cerff and Obed Plaatjes will be performing at the Baxter Theatre.

More than 45 comedians will be perform-

Siv Ngesi

ing in 40 shows over three weeks. Produced

by Siv Ngesi, in collaboration with Taylor Made Productions, the festival celebrates stand-up comedy in all its forms, presenting a full spectrum of different comedic styles.

With two shows daily, and three on weekends, the festival will get audiences up close and personal with their favourite comedians while introducing them to some of the country’s most exciting upcoming talent.

“We had such a phenomenal response to the first festival, we’ve made the programme longer, bigger and even better,” says Ngesi.

“The festival proved to be not only a great event for comedy connoisseurs to get their fix, but also a key platform for newer stars to perform at a ma-

jor Cape Town venue.”

Stuart Taylor, co-producer, says: “This year’s line-up features a diverse mix of performers from stalwarts of the comedy industry such as Nik Rabinowitz, Joey Rasdien and The Goliaths to rising stars such as Chantal Jax and Kate Pinchuck.”

Taylor says they extended the styles of comedy to include Afrikaans and vernac shows, musical comedy with the Brothers Streep, live sketch comedy with online star Simon Orgill and the award-winning Daniel Richards performing sketches by Mike van Graan.

“We are also proud to feature Life Time Achievement winner, Soli Philander, as well as Pan-African comedy star, Long John the Comedian.”

Tickets prices start at R120, and range up to R150.

V Bookings can be made at www.webtickets.co.za or selected Pick n Pay stores. For discounted school or group block bookings, fundraisers or charities contact Carmen Kearns on 021 680 3993 or email carmen.kearns@uct.ac.za. Visit the Mother-City-ComedyFestival Facebook page for the full line up.

Patrick wants to inspire youth AVRIL FILLIES

Y

ou should not be a victim of your circumstances. You can rise above them and be successful, setting an example for others.

This is how Patrick Fisher (17), a rightback at Ajax Cape Town Football Club in Parow, describes his role in Hanover Park.

Fisher joined the club when he was 10.

“While at Ajax, I played four soccer tournaments overseas; three were held in the Netherlands and one in Germany. Before joining Ajax, I played for Avendale, Camps Bay and Old Mutual,” Patrick says.

He admires Trent Alexander Arnold of Liverpool and Cristiano Ronaldo of Juventus.

“Trent and I play the same position and he is taking that position to the next level. He is good at defending but when he attacks he is even better. His ability to pick and deliver an accurate pass or cross is phenomenal. But the player I look up to the most is Ronaldo.

He is hard-working, determined, disciplined and very persistent. Whatever he wants to achieve in life, he goes out at full blast, despite the situation he finds himself in at that specific time.

“Locally, I admire my former teammate Rivaldo Coetzee; how he reads the game and how calm he is when he is in possession of the ball,” Patrick says.

His favourite club is Manchester United, a club he has supported since he was in nappies.

“I grew up in a household where everyone was a United supporter and United was kind of in my blood. Playing for United will be a dream come true and having the badge on my chest and my name at the back of that jersey will definitely make me and my family proud.”

He says playing at Old Trafford among the

greatest players and fans in the world, would be the greatest thing that could happen to him.

“Anything in life is possible with God at your side and if it wasn’t for my God-given talent, I could have ended up in a different situation. All praise goes to Him,” he says.

His parents and brother had the most influence on his soccer career.

“My dad made a lot of sacrifices to see me excel in what I am doing. He sacrificed his time and effort in preparing training sessions to help my brother and me to improve.

I am forever grateful to them for their impact on my soccer and personal life, as well as others who supported me, but my father the most,” Patrick says.

Coming from Hanover Park, he set himself goals.

“For me, it is not about where I come from but where I am going. I trust in God and coming from Hanover Park makes me more determined to reach for my dream and to create dreams and hopes for others to follow.

“Examples of sportspeople coming from Hanover Park that are household names are Benni McCarthy, Tashreeq Matthews and Banyana coach Desiree Ellis,” he says.

Patrick watches movies, tennis, athletics and rugby on television when he is not at training or playing. He chills with family and friends while playing dominoes.

“I grew up in a loving and protective home and when we hear the shooting and sirens in and around Hanover Park, we know it is time to stay off the streets. The violence and gangsterism in the area taught me to focus on positive things and that my area where I live does not define who I am. It made me more determined to make a success of my life.

“If I could change anything in Hanover Park I would like to create jobs, have more police present every day and help those who

are doing good in our community. I would also like to help people getting their lives and dignity back and would start with the youth,” he says.

His advice to talented players in Hanover Park is to dream big and never give up. Set goals for yourself and always try to improve

on your performances.

“No pain, no gain; believe it and receive it.

There is always room for improvement and take advice and criticism when they come your way. Put God first and thank Him when you receive the things you prayed for,” Patrick says.

Falcons fought back to earn a 7-7 draw with Glenthorn A’s in a Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA) women’s Super League encounter at Turfhall softball stadium on Saturday 8 February.

Glenthorn A’s quickly put favourites Falcons on the backfoot with a forceful batting display in their first two turns at bat scoring six runs.

Lisa Erasmus, Lynn Lekay and Courtney Stevens each batted 2-2.

It was left to Falcons veteran Lindsay Vercueil and youngster Tonique White to cross the plate in the bottom of the second innings and set the tone for an exciting game.

Falcons set the diamond ablaze in the bottom of the sixth innings to take the lead for the first time. The Falcons offence was led by stalwarts, Samantha Jones (2-3) and Bettina Phillips who cleared the cones for a two-run homer.

Meanwhile, Westridge Yankees are keeping up the pressure on leaders Lavender Hill with a close 5-4 victory over Kenfac Phillies.

Yankees kept Phillies at bay, who threatened an upset in the fifth innings when they registered 3 runs to close the gap on Yankees and level the scores. Jenna Moses’ 2-run circuit clout had the Yankees in a spin.

Nathalie Abrahams, the Yankees pitcher, reached first base courtesy of a Cassandra Kalpens’ error and eventually crossed the plate for the match-winning single.

Lavender Hill maintained their lead with an easy 9-2 victory over lowly placed Tantasport. Khayelitsha Eagles kept the pressure on Westridge Yankees for the men’s Major League title with another important win over Pirates in midweek.

Record breaking day to remember

F

or the 51 945 people who made their way to Cape Town Stadium on Friday 7 February for the Match In Africa, it was a day which will not be easily forgotten. The figure, a new world record attendance for a single tennis match, also helped contribute to the $3.5 million (approximately R54.6 million) donated to the Roger Federer Foundation, which will be used to support education in rural South Africa.

The amount of money also surpassed the figures achieved in the previous five editions of this event (known previously as the Match For Africa).

The tennis match between 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer and his great rival, 19-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal, almost took a back seat, which saw the duo on a whirlwind tour of the City, starting with Federer’s arrival in Cape Town on

Wednesday 5 February, and included an impromptu warm-up session between the two on the Grand Parade.

Preceding the match on Friday, both Federer and Nadal also took part in a play session with children from Hangberg Pre-primary School in Hout Bay. The aim was to teach the children through various physical activities, combining language, motor skills and perception. Following his practice session with Nadal, Federer reminisced on his previous visits to South Africa, which is his mother’s country of birth.

“I don’t remember playing here in Cape Town 20 years ago, because I was on vacation and you rest your body. When I was little, I was playing in Jo’burg and other places where I was travelling. I remember I got a racquet from my parents here when I was little. After all this time it has gotten to this and to play in a stadium like this it is beautiful and my mom is very happy right now.”

Federer would go on to team up with Bill Gates in a celebrity doubles match against Nadal and his partner, Trevor Noah, which was won 6-3 by Federer and Gates, who dubbed themselves “Gateserer”.

The result was of little consequence as the four kept the crowd entertained with witty

quips as they had themselves mic’d up for the crowd and audience at home to listen in on.

“At the end of the day I think doing things together, this is actually in a way what we are doing tonight, we are all getting together for a good cause and to see what comes out of it. If I am alone out here, I cannot fill a stadium, but with the three other guys I can,” Federer said before the match.

Tickets to the event were sold out within 10 minutes and Federer said he’s open to collaborating for future charitable efforts.

“It is important to share information and to see where the synergies are and how we can do things together. At the end of the day, we are all seeking the impact, not for personal glory or legacy. We are here to leave a profound impact on kids’ lives and if that happens that we can do things together and we know each other and we get along, it is a winwin-win.”

Federer would go on to beat his great rival Nadal in three competitive sets, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, but the result was of little consequence as the cause outweighed any performance.

“Just one of these days that you don’t forget. Super happy to be playing here in Cape Town for the first time in my life. I can’t thank the people here in Cape Town who

came to the stadium and created an unforgettable atmosphere and made this day even more special. Super happy to see Roger’s emotions out there. I know how important it is for him playing here and having this amazing success,” said Nadal.

After the match, Federer was still coming to terms with the emotional occasion, which exceeded his expectations.

“I was very emotional when I walked out for the doubles and when I had to take the mic right away there, that was hard. I did not know what to say because I really felt overwhelmed with emotions there. After that, I was able to play a bit of tennis and when I came back for the singles, I was more in a place of pure happiness, enjoying every single moment and looking around and thinking how lucky we are to experience this. I hope it gives the city, country and continent and mini-boost. And that already will be plenty for me. It is never on the same scale of what Siya (Kolisi) and their team did with the Rugby World Cup, but it is nice to have nice stories in a world that can be very tough and cruel sometimes. That I was part of maybe people having a wonderful evening, having a great braai at home and watching this game, that would make me happy.”

Prior to their historic match, Roger Federer, along with Rafael Nadal conducted a “learning through play” session with children from Hangberg Pre-primary School.
