KENWYN

The gospel of giving back SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic

T

o embrace the spirit of Ubuntu and to give back to the needy in their area, Kenwyn residents embarked on a blanket drive on Friday 5 July.

The drive was organised by the Kenwyn Neighbourhood Watch (KNW), a registered non-governmental organisation that conducts patrols in the area in an effort to ensure the safety of the residents, at Woodbury Road Park.

Concerned residents came together and collected blankets for the destitute. They also made and sold some food in a quest to generate additional funds.

KNW chairperson Abdullah Fakier said their mandate is to serve the community.

They have 40 members that patrol the area

Passenger Sizes

and are all vetted by the South African Police Services (SAPS).

He said they decided to host the event to collect blankets which they will donate to destitute people. Some they will donate to the homeless. “We will try our best to get as much as we can,” he said.

He added there is no set target as to how many blankets they get. He also added the event was to highlight the need for residents to get involved in the organisation.

Project manager Ahmed Bawa said the organisation does not discriminate and will assist wherever it is needed. The event was not just about blankets but anything that is useful, people should feel free to donate, he said.

“We accept anything that is useful from baby clothes, books or any educational material,” he said.

At the event, they sold boerewors rolls

Performance Tyres

which were also sold to people who passed by in an attempt to generate money.

Bawa said the money made from selling the food will be donated to homes or even buy equipment that is needed by the team.

He made mention of equipment such as torches or beanies especially because it is winter season. He said the team works very hard in trying to keep the area safe “They are always here as early as 03:00 even if it is raining,” he said.

Even though he sang their praises, he also expressed gratitude to the Lansdowne police officers for their support, and their ward councillor, Mark Kleinschmidt.

He said the team has had success in working with police to bring to book culprits in hijackings, armed robberies and house break-ins. Residents could be seen walking into the field, some carrying blankets and

Riyaz Parker, one of the residents that donated some blankets, praised KNW for a “good job”.

“I think it is really awesome. I am proud of our community for having an awareness drive like this,” Parker said.

He revealed he has been a resident in the area for more than 25 years and an event like this was good for the community. “What I like about it is that it brings the community together. I have also donated because this is something that was instilled in me as a small boy; to give back,” he explained.

His wish is for the organisation to continue with similar events to reach as many people as possible.

Easier access to chronic meds Chronic patients are expected to get a better experience and outcomes, as cutting-edge technology has been introduced at the Western Cape Government Health (WCGH) Chronic Dispensary Unit (CDU) in Parow.

A statement by the provincial health department states that the CDU, a contract between the provincial health department and Medipost Pharmacy, is equipped with a bespoke automated chronic medicine dispensing, sorting and parcel assembly line.

“Since December 2005, the department has delivered chronic patient medicine parcels to stable chronic patients at either department facilities and clinics, or alternate collection sites. Instead of queuing for their medicines at pharmacies, such patients are able to conveniently collect their medicine parcels, which are specially pre-packaged and dispensed at the CDU for each individual making use of this service,” says provincial health minister Doctor Nomafrench Mbombo.

The world-class medicine dispensary system was specially designed to fulfil the specific and stringent requirements of the provincial health department for preparing and dispatching thousands of medicine parcels each month. “The effectiveness of the CDU underpins the service we are able to provide, not only for those patients receiving their chronic medication parcels from medicine collection points but also through assisting to free up capacity in our walk-in pharmacies at hospitals and clinics for individuals who require acute medicines or may need face-to-face consultations with pharmacists,” said WCGH head of department, Doctor Beth Engelbrecht, following an oversight visit last week.

Planting trees to raise more funds NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku Christel House South Africa in Wetton will be hosting a planting event to raise funds on Thursday 18 July from 09:00 to 11:00.

The event will be held as part of the 67

minutes for Mandela celebrations. A total of 300 trees will be planted at the school.

Louanne Mostert, a marketing officer at the school, says while planting trees will beautify the school and provide shade, most importantly it will be a demonstration of the importance of growth among

their learners.

She says trees symbolise growth, immense and enduring strength and reaching for the sky.

“We support and provide an opportunity for our students to reach their fullest potential and become contributing members

of society. The same type of nurturing applies to a seedling, growing into a full, lush tree. We’re in the business of making our students bloom,” Mostert says.

The school offers a holistic child development model, which covers all areas from education, healthcare and nutrition to sport, social service support, character development parent support and career planning.

Funding raised from the event will go towards its Feed A Future campaign which helps run various projects at the school. The school has 750 beneficiaries comprising learners from Grade R to a tertiary level, all from less privileged communities.

The event will be able to accommodate about 250 people and tickets are available for R120. Participants will be paired up with a learner from the school and will receive a thank you card designed by the learners at the end of the event.

“We invite small to medium groups from the Cape Town communities and businesses to join us for this special event,” says Mostert.

Dishing out dance lessons SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic

A

teenager from Lansdowne is the pride and joy of not just her family but the entire community at large.

Earon Isaacs (17) is a shining star in her community.

She is madly in love with sports and wishes to use it to keep the youth busy and off the streets.

Last year, at the age of 16 she qualified as the youngest Hip Hop dancer and instructor. She completed her 18-month long training course last year with the South African Body of Dance.

Isaacs said it almost became a mission to receive her certificate because of her age and had to pull some strings in order to graduate. “I had to put in a motivation for special permission as I was the youngest to ever be given Working with children gives Earon Isaacs a sense of fulfilment. the certificate,” revealed Isaacs. mother’s school-friends’ Embassy Bible She said the youngest age to be given the School.

to get my qualification, besides, I am not doing this for money,” she explained.

The athlete, who finished grade 12 last year, said people should take dancing seriously if they are passionate about it. According to her, it could take people to places.

“Through dance, you can get your provincial or South African colours,” she explained.

She said she enjoys doing sport and dance because they do not only help in the physical aspect but also mentally and that is why she gets children involved. “It feels great to work with children, it is a blessing. Me helping them with coordination will help in the future by resulting in good academic performance, I believe,” she explained.

The athlete is not only into dance and karate; she is a full-time football player. She plays for the University of Cape Town (UCT) u.17 team. Her position is a striker and sometimes she is a centre wing.

For Isaacs, sport is her passion and she would love to go far with it.

“Last year I was in the u.17 call ups for the national team but as a reserve,” she said.

Isaacs thanked her parents for their support in the field that she described as one that required hard work. She said people underestimate the fact that dancers train up to six hours throughout the day. According to her, that is longer than most sporting codes.

She also encouraged other parents to allow their children to follow their passions.

“If your child has a passion, support them to put 100% effort in it, it will pay at the end,” she encouraged.

The rubbish that has left residents pointing fingers at one another.

PHOTO: SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA

MANENBERG

Dirt divides community SIPHESIHLE NOTWABAZA @SihleMusic

S

tinking, disgusting and unhealthy are some of the most common words among a group of Manenberg residents.

The group that lives close to a local clinic and the library, where dumping is a regular occurrence, are accusing fellow residents who stay a bit further from the two landmarks of dumping which causes an unbearable stench in the area.

Naeema Morris, who lives extremely close to where dumping occurs, says she is sick and tired of people polluting the area.

Morris lives with her two daughters and three grandchildren and she is worried about their health. She says she has to monitor them whenever they go play outside to ensure they do not play among the litter.

Morris is adamant that the people who dump do not live in the proximity of the clinic. “If you tell them not to litter, they become

rude to you,” she says.

Morris accuses the City of Cape Town of not acting harshly enough to control the situation. “I reported these people to Law Enforcement and they came but did not catch them. They (dumping residents) watched until they (Law Enforcement) were gone and came to dump again,” she expressed.

Another angry resident Rashieda Robertson says she has lived in the area for more than 50 years. She attributes the dumping to the growing population. She says there is dumping everywhere in the area, with some people dumping on public roads and at bus stops. “This is very bad and because of it we have mice in the houses,” she says.

According to Robertson, the situation has gotten worse with people just throwing everything away, including old furniture. She claims the culprits keep an eye on authorities and only dump once they have left the neighbourhood.

Her wish is for the culprits to be consider-

ate to the people who live in the area. She says they are putting children’s health in jeopardy.

For Yumna Alexander, another resident, the issue is deeper than the dirt. She says residents are not properly schooled about who to complain to. She blames some community leaders of not availing themselves to the residents.

“Apparently we have a guy who is in charge of the street cleaning services in Manenberg but no one knows where to find him,” she says.

Another issue she raised was that all cleaners care about is cleaning the municipal offices and not the streets where ordinary people reside.

She also expressed concern for the health of the children whom she said are exposed to the dirty situation.

The ward councillor for the area, Bonita Jacobs was not available to comment due to ill health.

Athlone pool to be re-opened

Athlone swimming pool will be re-opened and used for community empowerment. PHOTO: NOMZAMO YUKU

NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku Athlone Swimming Pool will soon be open to the public after it was closed many years ago because of the poor state it was in.

It has undergone repairs worth R1.4m to both the main and the kiddies pool. The repairs started earlier this year (“Work to start at pool”, People’s Post, 12 February).

Ward councillor, Rashid Adams says he would like to have a ceremony for the official re-opening to encourage the public to take advantage of this facility.

“I would encourage the community to consider starting an official swimming club where our children will be trained how to swim competitively,” he says. Adams also wishes to see the Athlone pool being used for galas and other creative

events where swimming will be recognised as a development tool.

He says this would help attract people to participate in and encourage a positive activity in the community.

Adams says previously the pool was mostly used by senior groups in the community for exercise programmes. “That can now continue,” he says.

It will also be available to schools and other community organisations.

Confirmation of school placement closed More than a million learners in the Western Cape returned to school after the winter holidays last week.

The third term of the academic year is one of the most important terms for our learners, educators and officials as it is one when important examinations and tests take place. It is also a time where our officials take on the mammoth task of ensuring that the department is prepared for the start of the 2020 academic year by finalising and processing last-minute admissions. I am concerned that there was still over 85 000 applications where parents have not confirmed their place for 2020. This means the application was successful but the parent has not indicated their final choice on the system. Parents had until Friday 12 July to confirm placement at their school of choice. If they did not confirm their choice, the Western Cape Education Department will allocate the first place

where their application was successful.

Parents must preferably confirm on the system directly, which is much quicker to do and allows the parent to see the outcome immediately.

If parents are unable to confirm on the system directly, they can e-mail, call our district offices or our head office for assistance. Parents must provide the name and surname of the learner, the CEMIS number and the name of the school the learner will be attending in 2020 otherwise we cannot confirm placement. I also urge parents who have not received a positive response to remain calm while we process the second phase of the admission process. The whole purpose of this phase of admission is to get as many confirmations completed as soon as possible so that places open up at schools where children are double or triple “parked” in terms of successful applications. By confirming applications

now, it will allow us to determine where spaces have opened at schools so that learners on waiting lists can be accommodated.

With 107 days to go until the start of the matric exams, this is an important term for our Grade 12 NSC candidates as this will be the final full term of teaching. The department is supporting schools and matrics in various ways as they prepare for their exams. These have included winter schools during the holidays. The main focus of all schools will be to complete the curriculum for the term.

Good luck and best wishes to our teachers and learners as they prepare for their examinations and assessments as well as to our officials who are ensuring that we are prepared well in advance for the start of the 2020 academic year.

There has been much chatter and misinformation about the “fining” of homeless people during the past week.

We encourage the public not to be misinformed. The City of Cape Town is one of the few administrations that has invested in the plight of our street people through a host of interventions in the last decade.

These efforts are underpinned by the City’s Street People policy, which recognises the complexities that accompany homelessness, and attempts to address them. It is important to note that the by-law that everyone has been up in arms about was promulgated in 2007, it is not new. The by-law does not single out homeless people but it is applicable to all members of the public.

Everyone is expected to be law-abiding in public spaces and we receive complaints if people defecating, verbally or physically abusing each other or other citizens, destroy public property or sleep on or next to people’s properties among others. In the past year, Law Enforcement officers have responded to more than 15 926 complaints from the public.

The City does its utmost to help all people because we care about the safety of our residents. Sadly, the current false narrative takes place during a time when we are about to celebrate the first anniversary of a project of the City to assist street people, called the Safe Space. For several years, we have been focusing strongly on social development, as the myriad interventions attest to.

We offer several programmes through the Safe Space, which include life skills, CV writing, social services and Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) employment. Through our mission to be a caring city, we offer these services because street people deserve better.

They deserve to sleep indoors and receive warm meals. They deserve to have the opportunity to access opportunities. We want to equip them with skills and help them access opportunities to work.

We go out of our way to assist vulner-

able people living on the streets. The Social Development and Early Childhood Development Department has teams of field workers who spend their days reaching out to street people, offering assistance with access to social services, including temporary shelter, identity documents (IDs), social grants and temporary employment opportunities.

Hundreds of street people use our facilities every day and for them, it is a safe haven. It is disheartening when someone in need of this help declines any form of assistance when our intention is to make things easier and more comfortable.

We are currently looking to identify an additional safe space facility to expand this much-needed support structure for vulnerable street people.

Cape Town, like the rest of the country, is bound by laws. These laws apply to every single person. The same by-laws are on the books in other large metros such as Nelson Mandela Bay, the City of Johannesburg and Mangaung.

It is not illegal for anyone to be homeless, but our concern is the increase in aggressive begging within our central business districts and economic hubs. Our concern is that we see our street people sleeping on sidewalks and putting their own safety at risk, and using shop fronts and public spaces as ablution facilities.

While some take up our offers of assistance, the truth is that there are many street people who simply refuse the help we offer. The group who decline any form of assistance are intented to stay on the streets and are often involved in crimes such as drug dealing (or are drug-addicted), robbery (pickpocketing), and other forms of illegal activity. It is unfair to blame the City for enforcing its by-laws.

We will continue engaging street people and working with NGOs so that we can improve their daily circumstances.

DAN PLATO, Mayor of Cape Town

Mandela was kind everyday Prepare yourself for that time of the year again, when you see social media, TV news and your newspapers filled with good do-ers all looking to give their 67 minutes for Mandela. I dislike this time of year. Not that I have anything against people doing good deeds, I just feel it is seeking attention or limelight rather than doing something that will

make a lasting difference. People need to be kind all year round not only on Mandela Day. We need lasting differences made. I hope that these people who show up on Mandela Day return because the spirit of Madiba was kind and giving everyday, not only for an hour.

JOLENE WILLIS Email

Not a day passes when we do not hear on the news, read in our papers or on social media about brutal killings in the Cape Flats with headlines declaring that Cape Town is one of the most violent cities in the world.

Ordinary struggling men and women have to leave their homes in the cold dark winter mornings filled with the constant fear that they will be pounced upon by a group of knife and gun-wielding thugs out to rob them of their cellphones and whatever they have in their possession.

Some end up being badly beaten by these thugs for absolutely no reason at all.

The police and government have clearly lost the battle against criminals when worshippers are robbed in a church in the middle of a service. What defence do the priest and his congregants have against a bunch of ruthless thugs who have lost their soul?

I was shocked when a six-year-old boy was brought to me with a history of severe headaches. The night before, the headache was so intense that he asked his dad to take his head off. He cried the whole night through in front of his helpless parents.

The usual pain syrup did nothing to alleviate his pain. The parents were worried that their son suffered from a serious problem in the brain and wanted a scan.

In my rooms, the child looked well and pleasant and displayed no signs of any pathology in the brain. I decided to tactfully look for an underlying psychological cause for his headaches.

After a short history, the little boy sadly admitted that he was very worried that his dad would be shot and never return whenever his dad goes out and he hears gunshots.

On that particular night, his dad went out to buy car parts and the little boy heard gunshots, so he panicked and developed severe tension headaches fearing that his dad was killed by the gangs.

Examination of his muscles revealed that his muscles were taut, tight and tender.

I have treated tension headaches in several adults but this was the first time that I had to treat a young boy for tension headaches. I counselled him because pain relievers were not going to help solve his fears.

This little boy’s story is merely the tip of the iceberg. I am sure there must be thousands of children who suffer from headaches, depression and anxiety as a result of the unbridled violence on the Cape Flats.

All I could do was to try and reassure the little boy but I could not completely allay his fears knowing that violence is totally out of control in our country.

Children don’t have a way of expressing their innermost fears. These fears affect their concentration and behaviour at home and in class. We need to reach out to our children and listen to their fears and help them to deal with their pain.

We must not wait for something serious to happen to them before we take them seriously. It is quite likely that many young children and youth turn to cannabis as an escape from the daily trauma that they are exposed to in their neighbourhoods.

The sight of people being shot, stabbed and robbed right in front of them must have an impact on these young children when they go to bed at night. Many must be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The free availability of drugs like cannabis makes it easy for children to become addicted to it. Teachers must find it very difficult teaching anxious and depressed children who are sleep deprived and are on drugs.

The government should embark on a huge campaign to train lay counsellors to counsel children in schools and to identify children in need of psychological counselling because we won’t have enough psychologists to cover all the schools in the country.

The violence in our country will remain with us for a long time to come so we have a duty to protect our children from its effects on their young minds and lives.

ATHLONE

Gqom gospel album on track NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

A

church-based music group, Ecclesia Kingdom Community (EKC) Worship from Athlone aims to use music to shape youth and give back to their community.

The group gave People’s Post some insight on their new gqom gospel album titled Winning Season.

The official launch will take place at the SABC studios in Sea Point in October.

The album comprises of 12 songs and funds raised from the launch will go towards funding the church’s non-profit organisation Now Build Relationship (NBR).

NBR works closely with local schools supporting disadvantaged children by providing uniforms and shoes.

Unlike any other church albums, this gqom gospel genre targets to change the mindsets of young people towards church and the word of God. “Gqom is indisputably the most popular genre that has come out of South Africa recently,” said Sergio Brandt, the group’s lead.

Explaining the title, he said the album sends a message saying “no matter what, you will make it. South Africa, you are going to make it, because this is your winning season. We want to remind people that we are strong, that we are overcomers and we are not afraid of anything.”

Brandt said over the 10 years of existence, the group made it their aim to use attractive and relevant strategies to minister the word of God and lure youth to church. One can play this music anywhere, any time and still be in the Lord. There are 16 members in the group, varying between the ages of 12 and 50 from different communities in the Cape Flats and the Northern Suburbs. Group members have diversified talents that when put together produces a harmonious sound that speaks to one’s soul. The group also

works with other aspiring local youth from outside the church to nourish the genre and produce the best choreography.

“We are not limiting it to church members, everyone is welcome and we are all about uplifting the community. If there is talent or a simple interest, that is enough for us,” Brandt said.

He said the reason for giving back is, members too, have faced the challenges that

youth in their communities face today. The word of God helped them see the light.

Brandt said music is a powerful tool that unites people and whether one likes to dance and worship, they should feel welcome in the house of God. Talking about uniting people, Trevino Isaacs, a member, added they hold an uplifting programme on Friday evenings at Vanguard Community Hall where they work

with up to 60 youth. He said the programme focuses on hygiene, life-skills, dance and music. Isaacs also said they host network sessions for young and old on Saturdays.

He appealed for support from the public, especially with buying tickets to the launch as well as purchasing CDs once they are available.

Inmates get the chance to shine RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

I

nmates and former convicts from Pollsmoor Prison will be showing their skills on stage at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in September for this year’s seventh annual Second Chance Theatre Project.

With a foundational pillar at the correctional facility being built on the idea of reha-

bilitation and reintegration through arts and sports programmes, the staff and offenders are looking forward to the next production which is set to take place around midSeptember.

With reintegration in mind, spokesperson for the prison, Lewies Davids explains: “Apart from building confidence and better self-esteem in a person, the project goes beyond that. It gives the offender an opportunity to market his or her abilities, skills and

Inmates at Pollsmoor Prison tell their stories through an onstage production.

talents to the outside world.”

He says the production is marketed to all offenders at the beginning of the year, after which rehearsals are held for all those interested, a selection process takes place and then they begin to rehearse.

Davids says that inmates are excited to be part of the production each year and new participants are recruited each time.

The production is a partnership with National Institute for Crime Prevention and

PHOTO: RACINE EDWARDES

the Rehabilitation of Offenders (NICRO), an organisation specialising in the reintegration of inmates and prevention of social crime, and the University of Cape Town (UCT).

Associate professor at UCT, Veronica Baxter from the UCT’s Centre for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies has taken on the role as facilitator of the programme.

Davids explains that her greatest responsibility in the production is to bring the talents of the performers to light by assisting them to tell their stories. The scripts were written by the inmates themselves.

He continues, adding that the show gives them a platform where their skills could very well be noticed by industry professionals. “When this production is staged, the partners would invite various role-players from the film and entertainment industry, producers, directors and scriptwriters.

These offenders would then make an impression and can land up a possible role in the filming, theatre and arts sector.”

Bandla Makise, manager of developmental programmes at the prison, elaborated on what audiences can look forward to.

“Our theme for this year is being young.

The guys who are performing are going to explore the challenges of being young and the excitement of being young, and also give you a taste of what’s going on in their lives here in Pollsmoor,” he said. A pre-staging of the production was held at the prison for the first time on Thursday 27 June. The show told the stories of inmates who had been convicted as a result of protecting their children and others for drug smuggling – stories that are not to be missed.

Empowering women to be fearless Superstar wins award in UK, History shows that fearless women can move mountains.

With that in mind, just imagine what they will be able to achieve when they receive the necessary empowerment skills and training.

Fearless, or not so fearless, women are invited to the Fearlessly Female Woman’s Day event hosted by People’s Post’s sister publication TygerBurger and Spec-Savers on Friday 9 August at Zevenwacth Wine Estate at 09:00 for 09:30.

With celebrity chef Jenny Morris cooking up a storm, the hillarious Mel Jones playing her part as the master of ceremonies, and stunning fashion on show from local design duo Bridget Pickering and Jenny Morris

Ludwig Bausch of Ruff Tung, this is sure to be a memorable morning.

Each woman buying a ticket to the event will also be supporting women empowerment with a portion of the proceeds going to the non-profit orgnasation Women4Women.

Run by former Miss SA Cindy Nel, Women4Women focuses on female empowerment and community upliftment. Their main goal is to improve the lives of the less fortunate and previously disadvantaged women of South Africa by providing skills, training and mentorship.

Plenty of prizes will be up for grabs at the event. Morning snacks and a light lunch will be served.

V Tickets cost R350 at www.webtickets.co.za or Pick n Pay.

returns to Cape Town Port Elizabeth-born international superstar and showtime Australian artist, Belinda Davids, was thrilled to receive the International Special Recognition Award at the National Tribute Music Awards of the United Kingdom (UK) held in Droitwich last week.

Famed for her marquee role in the hit show The Greatest Love of All: A Tribute to Whitney Houston, which has been storming the world’s stages of late, Davids took home the accolade in acknowledgement of her global contribution to tribute performing and ground-breaking influence on the music industry.

After winning BBC TV’s Even Better Than The Real Thing musical contest in 2017, Davids has been mesmerised by the UK audiences’ support for her and the world-class tribute show over the years.

Belinda Davids is coming to Cape Town.

Davids was ecstatic to receive such recognition in arguably one of the world’s most competitive entertainment markets. “I feel honoured to have had my life’s work and my craft recognised, especially here in the UK. As an artist, there’s nothing more rewarding than knowing that you affect people, that you make a difference in people’s lives, in whatever way that is,” said Davids.

In addition to receiving her award, Davids performed three Whitney Houston tracks for the televised red-carpet event which took place at the stately Chateau Impney in Worcestershire on Wednesday 3 July.

In addition to being awarded this prestigious honour, The Greatest Love of All: A Tribute to Whitney Houston starring Belinda Davids has announced its return to South Africa later this year.

This globally-successful production is set to host a series of special orchestral concerts at the Artscape Opera House in Cape Town, from Wednesday 20 November to Sunday 1 December.

Davids is ecstatic to return home to perform for audiences in the Mother City, accompanied by an orchestra for the very first time in South Africa.

“This will be the only series of concerts I will get to perform in South Africa this year, so I am really looking forward to it. It’s always great to be on stage at home in SA and share my love for singing with my people. The show’s production team and I are working on delivering an amazing orchestra performance that will definitely be one for the memory books,” shares Davids.

V Tickets are available now at the theatre box offices for the performance or by visiting www.thegreatestloveofallshow.com or at Computicket.

Local futsal league rebooted EARL HAUPT @EarlHaupt

T

he Cape Town futsal community is poised to rejuvenate the local football landscape following the launch of its regional league recently.

“The purpose of this league is to grow futsal in the Western Cape,” explains South African Indoor Football Association (SAIFA) Western Cape chairperson, Richard Fortune.

Futsal is a variant of indoor football with an emphasis on control, creativity quick passing, spatial awareness and technique.

The ball is slightly smaller, but heavier in order to minimise the bounce of the ball on the harder indoor surfaces where futsal is played.

“Futsal is an outdoor pitch brought indoors, it’s an open field, and that is why futsal will do more for our players to go into 11-a-side, it will make them better and more skilful players, which is the problem we are having in 11-a-side at the moment. That is why we are starting with our futsal league, so our players can have the ability to become better players and probably get into the national squad,” says Fortune.

He hopes the league can grow to feature more than the current six teams – Bishop Lavis Futsal Club, Cape Town Falcons, Cape Town Titans, Futsal for All, Mustangs and Samba Five.

These teams emanate from Bellville, Bishop Lavis, Cape Town, Crawford, Mitchell’s Plain, Salt River and UCT and do battle every Wednesday night at Proteaville Recreation Centre in Bellville South.

However, Fortune hopes to grow the league to include teams from other parts of Cape Town such as Grassy Park, Gugulethu, Hanover Park, Langa and Khayelitsha, while also starting a school’s league.

Anthony Cupido, coach of Bishop Lavis Futsal Club, says although they are new to futsal, they are aiming high.

“I know that we are going to be the best team here. We started doing fives tournaments in Bishop Lavis at certain schools.

There were people asking us if we were interested in doing futsal, so we had a trial run on 17 June,” says Cupido.

He helped select a 14-man squad out of the 18 teams who took part in the trials.

“We have been together for a while, because some of the other guys played in some other leagues, but we wanted to join the fut-

sal league,” he explains.

Cupido adds that unlike outdoor football, the action is relentless in futsal.

“The time is shorter, whereas you get a 45-minute half in (outdoor) football, which is a little bit longer and it can drag, but most of all, the action in futsal is non-stop, which is more enjoyable. It is also a cleaner game because there are no major injuries that we know of so far,” he says.

Tyrone Ward, Mustangs captain and goalkeeper says that while still fledgling, the platform laid down for futsal in Cape Town is a positive development.

“There are people who are really serious about the game and want it to go forward.

This platform that has been given is awesome for players who haven’t achieved at a higher level in outdoor football, but giving them a platform to achieve it at a later stage in their lives,” he says, adding that Mustangs is made up of a few ex-pro outdoor players who have finished their careers and now help young players to develop, which he feels is the heartbeat of a sustainable futsal club.

“You have to develop a club: you can’t start from the top, you have to start from the bottom. Infrastructure is important, but it has been lacking. Futsal has been around for 18-20 years (in South Africa), but nobody knows about futsal until the last few years which is terrible. South African football, in general, is currently of a low standard – we are so far behind when compared to Europe and South America, but what do they do?

They make sure the infrastructure and platform are set for those kids in order for them to move forward.

“They build the base, same as when you build a house where you can’t build a house with windows first, you got to have a solid foundation first,” Ward elaborates.

Fortune hopes that through SAFA, SAIFA can train coaches and referees to expand futsal’s reach even further, and more importantly – act as a tool against socio-economic strife in struggling communities.

“My aim is going to be – don’t shoot, come score goals. We want to play this game at night in the community to take the youngsters minds off gangsterism. I would like to ask the government kindly to come on board with us to grow the sport. We need financial support because we are running this league out of our own pockets.”
