All set for softball excitement LYNN PRINS
THE Softball Junior Women’s World Championship has one day to go before the first ball gets pitched. People’s Post – being the media partner – will be covering the event and has been involved from the start carrying profiles on individual players, and introduced the South African side and the management team. The JWWC, which consists of 16 teams and lasts just under two weeks, starts Wednesday 7 December with an opening game between two African countries, South Africa and Botswana. Botswana took out time to have a training session yesterday morning. Participating teams are South Africa, US, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Puerto Rica, Chinese Taipei, China, Argentina, Russia,
Germany, Botswana, Brazil, Czech Republic, and Zimbabwe. Supporters had an opportunity of watching world class Softball during the warm-up games on Thursday evening, when New Zealand played local teams Glenthorn A’s and Falcons-Normies. The warm-up games continued over the weekend with great support, when South Africa, US, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia played each other. New Zealand fell short losing 4-2 against Japan, South Africa lost 13-0 to Canada, and US beat Australia 7-2. On Saturday a minor error occurred when the technical team found fault in the lights of the B field. The game, between South Africa and Canada, was to have started at 19:30 but was postponed until Sunday. “We had a small problem, but we can now safely say that all slight problems have been resolved. It’s
important that we have warm-up games in terms of field facilities, and warm-up games are relevant to team preparations too, so playing faults can be dealt with,” said Noore Nacerodien, head of the Local Organising Committee. “Being the first such event in Africa, the LOC and I are confident that we will host an event of unprecedented quality. This event will put us in good stead for hosting any future international events in Cape Town”, he added. People’s Post caught up with US coach Paula McGovern, whose team played against Australia on Saturday. When asked about the field conditions at Turfhall and the stadium, she said: “My team and I are happy to be here and the city should be proud to have a world class Softball venue like Turfhall.” When asked whether New Zealand would follow in the footsteps of their rugby team
and fill their sport cabinet with the JWWC trophy, Coach Venita Hokai commented: “I have a team full of youngsters that can play in the next world champs, but they will have to be on top of their game if they want to win the tournament. However, I will be happy if we can end up in the top six”. Nacerodien also delivered a message to the teams and everybody who helped organise the event. “From my side I wish everyone best of luck. The community of Belthorn has been superb, and they are ready to welcome the world to their area.” Tickets cost R20 per day from Computicket.

Creating jobs, touching lives – it’s a gift THIS week, Proudly South African (Proudly SA) features essay GIFTS and the role the company plays in making a real difference in touching lives and creating sustainable jobs in South Africa. “In May 2006 essay GIFTS secured its first order from the City of Johannesburg for 5 000 gifts and this created temp jobs for 50 people, in an area with an 80 percent unemployment rate,” says Beatrice Delpierre, operations director for essay GIFTS. “We delivered on our promise to the City and presented them with world class gifts in time for the 2010 World Cup hand-over ceremony in Germany.” The company achieves its success by facilitating business opportunities between the formal economy, corporate entities and government clients and the informal sector. “Specifically, we work with rural crafters and young designers in the corporate, promotional, complimentary gifting and the conference accessories industries,” says Delpierre. “We act as a bridge between our clients and our partner factories and manage the process to ensure
that these small businesses deliver a world class product on time, every time. Our aim is to assist specifically disadvantaged communities that lack access to the market and don’t know how to engage in the business economy.” She says they also promote the meaningful integration of low technology, hand-made and lowcost products into an economy that today competes with Chinese products. The integration requires expensive technology and is mass produced. The main task of essay GIFTS is to motivate the clients and market to invest their promotional budgets in the partner factories. Although locally produced gifts can be more expensive than imported items, the additional cost of producing gifts not only in South Africa, but specifically by rural producers, provides the client with a valuable brand building opportunity – namely, demonstrating that they support employment creation. This in turn assists with building their social capital and goodwill among their stakeholders. She says one of the biggest challenges for essay GIFTS has been to access the market, as the industry

is flooded with cheap imports from the East. “When we entered the market there was a lot of scepticism from potential clients due to their previous experience with local manufacturers, such as late delivery and bad quality products.” All the products are sold at Santé Wellness Centre in Paarl and sales agents. “The company started with one staff member in the office and four employees in our ceramic factory, with not one single product. Five years later, we have four staff members working in our two regional offices and employ 31 full time staff at our ceramic factory.” Delpierre says developing essay GIFTS has been a learning process. “We have had many successes and learnt from our challenges over the last five years. Temporary and full-time employment opportunities have been created for many low skilled and unskilled South Africans, and opportunities provided by essay GIFTS have enabled our production partners to increase the skills of their staff. “Certainly, one of the main rewards is hearing the stories of the people we work with every day. We’ve seen a 45-year-old disabled

We’ve seen the confidence of unemployed individuals grow after a few months, enabling them to seek better opportunities.” The company decided to become part of Proudly SA because it shares the same values, such as high quality, and locally made products that respect the environment and are made under fair labour practices. She added that anyone could

Army to continue helping local police LIAM MOSES
THE SOUTH AFRICAN ARMY will continue to back up police from the Wynberg and Claremont policing clusters in crime prevention operations throughout the festive season. The army has already been called in to assist with roadblocks, searchand-seizure operations, and to assist police combating gang violence in Lavender Hill. According to Warrant Officer Keith Chandler, Wynberg cluster spokesman, the soldiers can be called in whenever police feel there is a need for more manpower. “They will be utilised whenever the need arises. That’s all up to the cluster commander,” said Chandler. “They will only be utilised during operations or large events. We can’t disclose any details, but we are planning operations.” Soldiers were called in to help the police officers from the cluster, which is made up of the Wynberg, Diepriver, Kirstenhof, Steenberg and Grassy Park stations, to patrol Lavender Hill on Thursday 24 November and have been present in the area ever since. However, despite the large uniformed presence in the area, gang violence has still occurred. The People’s Post reported (Troops challenge violence, Tuesday, 29 November) that two men, aged 19 and 25, were shot in an open field near Stone Court, Lavender Hill on Friday 25 November, the day after armed forces moved. The younger victim suffered a gunshot wound to his back, while the older victim was shot in his ribcage. The men are believed to have been shot by three gang-affiliated men. On Sunday 27 November at approximately 16:14, Ashley Wilson, 31, was gunned down in his 11th Ave-
nue home in nearby Retreat. Wilson was shot twice in the chest and once in the head and another victim sustained a single gunshot wound to his right leg. Later that evening, at 22:45, three more people were injured during a shooting incident in Muir Court, Lavender Hill. Gang violence flared up again this past weekend when two members of the Corner Boys gang were shot dead by Junkie Funkie Kids members in Lavender Hill. When asked how the attack was still carried out even with the army present, Chandler said that the attack coincided with a shift change. “Well, look at the time. It was 17:10. It was the time of shift change, when the forces were changing shifts,” said Chandler. “That’s when the incident occurred. They all know we change at 18:00.”Chandler added that more attacks would have taken place had it not been not for the army’s presence in the area. The soldiers will remain in the area indefinitely. In other crime-prevention operations they will only be called in when necessary. Chandler said the army’s primary role in both the crime prevention operations and in the Lavender Hill patrols was to guard while police carried out their tasks. “There is an ongoing project against the gang violence. The army is doing patrols and cordoning off outer perimeters,” said Chandler. “They will stop any vehicle going in to the inner perimeter, where the police are conducting the actual operation. “The army are also involved in urban security and act as our safety net. Obviously, if there is an attack then they will get involved. They are purely there as a back-up.” Chandler added that the army had also been used by Diep River police in an operation and by the Kirsten-
hof station “to cordon off in Westlake during a very large search”. He said the Wynberg police had used Youngsfield army base as a base during a roadblock. Soldiers were most recently used to support police from the Claremont cluster during search-and-seizure and visible policing operations in Mowbray, Claremont and Rondebosch. According to Captain Angie Latchman, spokesperson for the cluster, the operation was a planned event which could be repeated during the holiday months. “It wasn’t a once-off. We launched our festive season programme and part of it is high visibility patrols,” said Latchman. “The army has been authorised to work with the SAPS during the festive season and we used them to boost our manpower. If we need their assistance, by all means (we will use them).” Members of the Cape Town Metro Police, three different SAPS special units and private security guards also took part in the operation, which focused heavily on taxi ranks within the cluster’s policing area. Siphiwe Dlamini, head of communications for the South African Department of Defence, said the soldiers were deployed to assist the police after the SAPS asked for assistance. “They wrote to us to ask for assistance and this is normally a yearly thing; most years SAPS requests assistance in crime prevention operations during the festive season,” said Dlamini. “This was a request and it’s not a daily thing. Unless they ask we don’t do policing, as is not our duty.” During times of peace, when South African soldiers are not deployed on peacekeeping operations around Africa, they spend their time training and doing administrative office work.

Young wife battles deadly disease YOUNG woman and her family’s lives have been turned upside down for nearly a year after she was diagnosed with XDR (extensively drug resistant) TB. Andaleeb Rinquest-January (27), a bubbly, strong and independent woman, was in her prime when she discovered she had a rare form of TB which is life threatening, in February. Since her diagnosis it has been an uphill battle for her family and friends. Andaleeb’s health deteriorated as she lost her appetite. She has to take 10 tablets a day, is bed-ridden, needs 24-hour care and weighs only 30kg. “It has been a difficult to see my eldest daughter like this,” says her mother, Shanaaz Rinquest. “It all began in November when she had a bad cough. She regularly saw the doctor and the diagnosis would always be flu/cold or throat infection, followed by a course of antibiotic treatment, but she never got better.” In February Andaleeb noticed a growth under her armpit. The gland was drained in a surgical procedure but the growth returned. “This prompted doctors to take samples of the gland and send them for testing. The test returned positive for TB. Andaleeb was then put on firstline drugs in the treatment of standard TB. “She was feeling tired all the time and resigned from her job, losing her medical aid.”

BEFORE: Andaleeb RinquestJanu ary (27) before she was diagnosed.
AFTER: Pictured here is Andaleeb af ter she was diagnosed.
vate Hospital was the only private medical facility able to treat these TB cases. Andaleeb was examined by professors who said she needed to be hospitalised for six months. That would cost R120 000 upfront and R120 000 each month she is at the facility. The Rinquest and January family managed to gather the money, but now they need to continue to raise R120 000 a month. She has been admitted in UCT for two weeks now, and the family say they are hopeful she will get better.
“I am looking forward to the day Andaleeb is cured and can walk out of here,” says Refaat. “I need to be strong and positive for her.” Refaat says Andaleeb seems to be on a slow road to recovery. The newspaper visited Andaleeb’s facebook page and although she has a life-threatening illness, she was posting positive messages encouraging people not to feel sorry for her. In a bid to raise the funds the family has set up various shows. They are also aiming for a minimum of
about 2000 people to assist with a donation booklet of R60 per month for the six-month period. The Rinquest and January family appeal to all to assist to save Andaleebs life. They would also like to thank everybody for there support so far. Anyone who would like more information about Andaleeb, the variety shows or would like to support in anyway should call Refaat on 082 301 7733 or Riedaur on 084 311 1163, or visit the facebook link: Support Andaleeb RinquestJanuary.

Victoria Hospital doctors discovered she was resisting the standard treatment. More tests were done and the results showed strains of resistant TB cultures. Andaleeb was then classified as having MDR (multiple drug resistant) TB. Doctors said that she would have to be on second-line drugs for two years and also receive a daily injection at the clinic for six months. She was discharged from the hospital to be treated at home. Riedaur Rinquest, Andaleeb’s brother, says the family watched as Andaleeb’s health deteriorated. “Her appetite decreased to such an extent that she wasn't consuming much needed daily nutrients. After a collapse she was sent to Brooklyn Chest Hospital. This is when it was determined she was a pre XDR (extensively drug resistant) TB case.” The family tells People’s Post that this is where Andaleeb’s health took a turn for the worst. “She no longer felt positive with this news and from then on her condition became much worse,” says her mother. “She was in a ward where three patients died and Andaleeb had to see all this. We then made a tough decision and took her out of the hospital to care for her at home. It was really difficult journey,” says Shanaaz. “She needed 24-hour care as her medication needs to be given at certain times. During the day I would care for her and at night her husband did.” Refaat January, Andaleeb’s husband, investigated and he discovered that the UCT Academic Pri-

Keep sewers running smoothly THE City of Cape Town incurs a cost of around R60 million a year to clear sewer blockages.
GRAND OCCASION: Yesterday (Monday), Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille (far left) unveiled the new name for Oswald Pirow Street, which will now officially be known as Christiaan Barnard Street. On the right are Barnard’s children Deidre Visser, Armin Barnard, Lara Barnard and Christiaan Barnard Junior. Photo: Lulama Zenzile
As it has a limited budget which is divided according to needs, the money spent on repairing and clearing blockages could rather be spent on other community requirements. Blockages are generally caused by foreign objects such as sheepskin, sheep skull, shoes, clothing, cutlery, newspapers, sanitary towels, disposable nappies, tyres and many
more items that are disposed of via toilets and manholes into the sewer on a daily basis. Foreign objects are either flushed or dumped deliberately into the sewer system. This causes the system to block because it was not designed for these items, resulting in sewage overflowing into the streets and illness caused by waterborne diseases due to exposure to such unhealthy environments. This also, inevitably, causes damage to municipal infrastructure. In an attempt to reduce or
eliminate future blockages, the City’s Water Pollution Control Department encourages residents to ensure that all foreign objects are disposed of in refuse bins and skips. To ensure that sewage systems run without a glitch, report broken and missing gully grids, rodding eyes and manhole covers as well as also blocked and overflowing sewers and water pollution to the City’s call centre on 0860 10 30 89; via SMS to 31373 or send an e-mail to WaterTOC@capetown.gov.za.

AFRIFORUM has launched a website where the public can send messages to the President’s personal e-mail address to object to the Protection of Information Bill. The public can visit www.thebillstopshere.co.za and lodge their objections. The website forms part of the organisation’s fivepoint action plan to encourage the public to get involved in the battle for freedom of information. Ernst Roets, deputy CEO of AfriForum, says that as this is a judicial process, the battle against the Bill has to a great extent rested in the hands of opposition parties; however, the status quo is changing and the major battle is starting now. “Even if this means that we have to take this matter to the United Nations, we will not rest until we have succeeded in putting an
end to this legislation.” The e-mails will be sent as a petition to President Jacob Zuma’s personal e-mail address, as well as to that of his assistant. Petitioners only have to fill in their details on the site in order to take part in this protest. AfriForum intends to use this petition as part of legal action against the Bill and, if necessary, to take it to the United Nations. Members of the public can also contribute R10 towards the cost of the legal action by SMSing the word “FORUM” to 38655. “It seems most members of the ruling party simply ignore the public’s appeals in this regard. As soon as the President adds his signature to this document, it will become the most devastating piece of legislation of the last 20 years. Should we have to flood the President’s e-mail address with complaints from members of the public, we will do so with the greatest of pleasure,” Roets says.

Dance spectacular LA ROSA opened Bernarda, a fusion of Flamenco dance and Asian aesthetic at Hiddingh Hall, Orange Street, on Thursday 24 November. Dancers Lexi Parolis as Bernarda, Beth Jeffery, Kim Pretorius, Nicole Kleinhans, Ché Adams, Deidré Jantjies, Lathiwe Kula, Loreán Swartz and actor Andrew Laubscher, took to the boards with precision and passion. The dance-theatre exploration of Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba is a poetic drama re-worked by collaborators Geoffrey Hyland, theatre director, and Carolyn Holden, Spanish Dance Choreographer and Ar-
tistic Director of La Rosa. The production subverts conventional artistic boundaries and deconstructs the traditional Spanish dance idiom. In an experimental fusion of Flamenco dance, Asian aesthetic and heightened theatricality, Bernarda explores the unappeasable longing of the individual pitted against the will of an oppressive society. Grief, rage, repression and wilful joy find ardent articulation in this compact emotional and fiery epic. The show will run Tuesdays to Saturdays until 3 December at 20:00. Tickets are R80 via 021 461 42 01 or email bookings@larosa.co.za.

Street renaming to represent all cultures LIAM MOSES
THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN has announced that as many as 31 streets around the metropole could be renamed in 2012. The City made the announcement on Thursday 1 December after the recently formed Naming Committee tasked the City’s Sub-Councils and the Public Participation Unit with starting a public participation process for the renaming. Councillor Brett Heron, chairman of the Naming Committee, said it was important that street names were representative of all cultures and groups in the City. “It’s important because the naming of streets and places is often done by governments around the world to commemorate events or people,” said Herron. “Naming has a symbolic value and the history of South Africa is such that most of the street names were chosen during a period where the government only recognised one part of the community. “So they only commemorate one part of the community and aren’t necessarily significant to other cultures. What the renaming looks at is making sure the symbolism that is expressed through naming reflects the full
diversity of the city. It’s part of our promise to reflect the full diversity of the city.” According to Herron, the process of renaming these 31 streets was started by the City’s previous administration in 2007, when a panel of experts suggested the renaming to the mayor after considering suggestions from the public. The 31 streets include several roads in the city centre, including a section of Castle Street – which could be renamed Krotoa Street (after a Koina interpreter who worked for the Dutch East India Company), Coen Steytler Avenue – which could be renamed Walter Sisulu Avenue (after the former ANC president) and Hans Strydom Avenue – which could be renamed Albert Luthuli Avenue (after another former ANC president). The cost of renaming the streets is not yet known but Herron said that the City believed the benefits of renaming the streets were worth the amount that would be spent. “The city has to spend money of many aspects of daily life. We also need to spend money to make sure that people feel included. It is part of our mandate to build an inclusive city,” said Herron. “To rename Helen Suzman Boulevard cost R25 000 and that’s a big road. Some of the roads that are being renamed are fairly
Free roadworthy safety checks THE City of Cape Town Traffic Services will help make the Festive Season safer by offering free roadworthy safety checks. Motorists can visit one of the following roadworthy testing centres to ensure that their vehicle is in a roadworthy condition before going on a long journey. The centres will be open from now until 15 December from 10:00 to 14:00, Mondays to Fridays.
The centres are: .Hillstar in Plantation Road, Wetton; .Gallows Hill in Somerset Road, Green Point; .Brackenfell, on the corner of Kruispad and Reservoir Streets, Brackenfell; .Durbanville, 93B De Villiers Drive; .Bellville, in Bellrail Road; .Goodwood, on the corner of Frans Conradie Drive and Hugo Street; .Kuils River in Fabriek Street.
small roads so they won’t cost that much.” “Street signs are not expensive and we need to weigh up the value of building an inclusive city against the small cost of changing the streets sign, and the cost is relatively small.” The public participation process will start in mid January after the council returns from its month-long break. It is not yet known when the process will be completed. The Renaming Committee will also meet next year to discuss plans to amend the City’s naming policy. Herron added that individuals who would be directly affected by the renaming of streets, such as those who live in a street earmarked for renaming, would be contacted directly by the City. The streets in the southern peninsula which could be renamed are:
. First Road, Grassy Park – Isaac Jacobs Road. .Jan Smuts Drive (from Klipfontein Road to Strandfontein Road) – Dullah Omar Drive .Lansdowne Road, Lansdowne – Iman Haron Road .Long Street, Mowbray – Reverend Theo Kotze Street .Milner Road, Observatory – SV Petersen Street .Selwyn Road, Woodstock – Fort Knokke Road .Vanguard Drive (Between Goodwood and Mitchell’s Plain) – Govan Mbeki Drive .The Wittebome Civic centre in Wynberg and the Athlone Civic Centre could be renamed the Wynberg Civic Centre and the Athlone Coline Williams Civic Centre.

One too many THE killing last week of a young bride by her husband defies the 16 Days of Activism campaign for No Violence Against Women and Children. The international campaign is from 25 November (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to 10 December (International Human Rights Day). On 3 December, Eunice Mhlewa (27) was fatally stabbed in her Manenberg home, reportedly by her husband, who afterwards tried to commit suicide by slitting his throat. The couple had been married just eight months when the man apparently accused his wife of having an affair Neighbours ran to the house when they heard the woman’s screams, but were too late. While they couldn’t save Eunice’s life, what matters is that they took action; instead of turning a blind eye as society is prone to do, in the name of “it not being their business”. Preventing violence against women and children is everyone’s business and since 1999 the South African government, civil-society organisations and the business sector, have made it their business. The global campaign focuses on violence against women only, but South Africa added children to its campaign because of the country’s high prevalence of child abuse. The theme for the 2011 campaign is “From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Proliferation of small arms and their role in domestic violence” and government will mobilise communities to reduce arms, commonly used in many domestic violence cases. There are many ways society, including men, can help to end the unacceptably high levels of physical, emotional and sexual abuse on women and children. Speak out, make sure female victims get help, report child abuse, encourage children to report bullying, volunteer for groups that support abused women and children, join a community policing forum... Help create safer communities and know that you have helped prevent the killing of another woman.

Has the curse struck again? IN response to an article in People’s Post last week, it appears that the curse has struck again! Last time, Andre Schwartz could not perform and Rory Rootenburg stepped, most ably, into the phantom role – and what a spectacular show! The Shakespearian play “Macbeth” is known in the trade as “The Scottish Tragedy”, as it too has been cursed with mishaps over the years, right from the premiere, when the Bard himself had to play Lady MacBeth, as the boy (women were not allowed on the stage then) cast in the role had fallen ill! What puzzles me about the write-ups on “Phantom” world-wide is that he is depicted as a mysterious, mad, malign musical genius! In the original story, he is in fact the architect of the new Paris Opera House. He is disfigured in an accident on the construction
Become a resident tourist Re the letter in the People’s Post of Tuesday 1 November stating Cape Town is fast becoming City of the World: I most wholeheartedly agree as a Capetonian. Those who have lived for generations in the Cape and those who have emigrated all agree that Cape Town is the best place to be. Also, the advert that says experience cannot be bought is priceless. That is what I have experienced in where I live in Plumstead. From the top of the various bridges in the area, one has a panoramic view of the Constantiaberg mountains, with Elephant Eye prominent, the farm lands and the fullness of the rear of Table Mountain right to Devil’s Peak. While living in Steurhof I explored Princess Vlei, Elfin dale area, Wetlands in that vicinity and further afield I discovered Die Oog in Bergvliet. In Constantia there are discovered various places where one can park and either explore on foot the diverse trails which lead one through the tranquil area. And there is a panoramic view of the mountains, farmlands and the expanse of nature – priceless. This is much better than having to organise a major holiday to recharge the batteries. KEITH VINCENT Plumstead
Bikers toyed with my emotions I HAD the honour and privilege to attend the 2011 Toy Run on Sunday 27 November. It was the first time I had actually gone down to Maynardville, where about 7 000 bikes had gathered. I thought bikers were a hard and rough bunch, but to see the numerous toys they brought along opened my eyes. The entertainment was excellent, with bands singing – from rock to the blues. Comedians were also doing their thing, apparently they appeared for free. I would like to congratulate the organisers, sponsors, bikers and the public for making this annual event so successful and making a lot of children happy. NIGEL DEARDEN Plumstead
site and elects to hide forever within his creation. Considering that the Paris Opera House is real, that its basements descend five levels below the street, that there is a subterranean river there, why shouldn’t the “Phantom Architect” be real too? Any answers? ALAN CAMPBELL Gardens
I HAVE read in the media that certain concerned citizens are encouraging the privileged not to give or donate any food or monies to those knocking on our doors or shouting at our gates. Instead, we are encouraged to do the right thing and take money and goods to an accredited organisation that would in their wisdom make sure that the right people receive it. But suppose my wife and son and I live on the street, have not eaten for two days and now the nagging hunger forces us to go to the suburbs. We knock on door after door and leave emp-
ty handed because the occupants state they are following a criteria and their donations were given to an organisation that helps us people. We ask where this oasis of charity is and are told it might be in Wynberg. How are we to find money to travel to this oasis? Is this how you or your family want to be treated if you should fall on hard times (and with today’s global climate and economic state, this is not impossible). That neverland oasis must be created right here in our homes and I will give until it hurts because it is my choice. KEITH BLAKE

Wednesday 7 December Observatory: “CSI meets Darwin: When perceptions of race clash with forensic science” is the subject of the next free Darwin lecture at 17:30 for 18:00. Professor Alan Morris of the Department of Human Biology at
UCT explores this theme. He raises intriguing questions such as what is actually being identified when a person is identified by race in forensic cases. How our current understanding of human variation intersects with forensics gives rise to a fascinating debate. The venue is the New Learning Centre, Health Sciences Campus, University of Cape Town, Medical Faculty, Anzio Road. RSVP: fran@hippocommunications.com or phone (021) 557-0246.
Thursday 8 December Rondebosch: Author and historian Dr Peter Hammond continues his series of fascinating history presentations, which start at 19:15 with a well-illustrated PowerPoint presentation on “How propaganda changes perceptions and people”. It will focus on propaganda used in the World Wars. Please phone to book your place. For further information phone (021) 689-4480 or visit www.reformationSA.org

Volunteer and make a difference THIS year is International Year of the Volunteer, which showcases the need for people to come forward and offer their time and expertise for the good of others. Volunteers are the life-blood of Hospice, the organisation that provides palliative care to those suffering from life-threatening illnesses and their families. International Volunteer Day (Monday 5 December) gives the 200 member hospices around the country the opportunity to thank the many volunteers without whom the paidfor staff would not be able to provide palliative care. Pat Gelderbloem, co-ordinator of the national Hospice volunteer task team, has been
employed at St Luke’s Hospice as Volunteer Services Manager since 2001. “A volunteer is someone who has a passion for doing something for others,” says Gelderbloem. “They must be committed, the work defines the kind of person you are. Many of them are called to be involved in palliative care because they have been on a journey with Hospice, having lost a loved one, and they understand the philosophy and concept and can make a difference.” To find out about volunteering, contact your local hospice (www.hpca.co.za, gives contact details). Phone (021) 531-2094.

All aboard for the world’s toughest rubberduck race INFLATABLE boat enthusiasts have started preparing for the Trans Agulhas Challenge over the weekend with a club race in Strand. “This five-day race draws more than 60 inflatable boats and thousands of tourists to the southern and west coasts of South Africa every year”, said the organisers. “They don’t call it the world’s toughest inflatable boat race for no reason, though,” warned Pinelands resident David Kalis, of the Legionair Racing Team. “Completing a distance of 700km in five days takes a tremendous toll on your body. Even with a kidney belt, racers end up urinating blood and become dehydrated. On day four we race at night,” Kalis said. Organisers say that the sport struggled to take off when they first started approaching sponsors in 1988 because it was considered “too dangerous”. “Only three boats ended up competing that year. Today, the Trans Agulhas Challenge is a world-class
READY TO GO: David Kalis preparates for the world’s toughest inflatable boat race.

The event concludes on New Year’s Day in Strand. “Inflatable boat (or rubberduck) racing started in South Africa but has become popular all around the world,” Kalis said. “We hope that events like the

Trans Agulhas will encourage more locals to take up the sport. Sponsors such as Builders Warehouse and Toyota have supported me a great deal because they’ve seen the potential, but more South Africans need to get involved,” he added. The event will be broadcasted live on SuperSport between Wednesday 28 December and Sunday 1 January. For more information as well as entry details, visit www.transagulhaschallenge.co.za.

Ajax on winning ways again LYNN PRINS
AJAX Cape Town ended on a positive note after a toughly contested first half against Bloemfontein Celtic on Sunday at Cape Town Stadium. George Maluleka opened up the score for Ajax, just after half time in the 48th minute, followed by Matthew Booth’s goal in the 60th minute, taking the score 2-0 to full time. Celtic, who showed less aggression in their attacking, came off lucky as the Urban Warriors failed to take advantage of their given opportunities. Apart from Booth scoring the winning goal, he has also been a revelation at the back for the Urban Warriors and brought stability with first time tackling. He also partners well with Nazeer Allie who
joined Ajax this season. In previous games, after Clinton Daniels left for Sundowns, firmness was missing in the team, but Booth’s vast experience is marshalling the troops at the back. And with inspirational captain Granwald Scott and Brent Carelse back from injury, Ajax found their momentum going forward in Sunday’s game. However, despite the Urban Warriors sealed win, a concern for head coach Maarten Stekelenburg must be that his strikers wasted numerous chances in front of goal yesterday. Ajax moved up to seventh place and surely expected to win more games. Who knows, maybe they coming out of the slump they have been in for so long. Lansdowne based team Engen Santos need a desperate win. With the festive break
nearing, looming Santos is now three points behind Jomo Cosmos in the bottom half of the log. Cosmos won their first game of the season on Sunday but remain bottom of the log. Santos, who won a game in October against Maritzburg United, struggle with their defence, which is inconsistent and a major concern. They seem to lose concentration at crucial times, and on Saturday stalwart centre defender Wayne Arendse’s presence was missed when he was replaced by Pere Ariweriyai, former AmaZulu defender. Arendse, who is regarded as “safe” in the backline, was replaced due to injury. Since Ariweriyai’s signing, he has been having shaky
starts, and although he has good aerial presence, speedy strikers normally catch him on the break. During Santos’ last two games, goalkeeper Tshepo Motsoeneng was also not performing at his best, especially against Sundowns when they caught him off guard. However, on the bright side, Vuyisile Wana and Eleazar Rodgers are regaining their scoring form with the latter scoring against Sundowns earlier in the game. Santos’ next game takes place on Friday 16 December against AmaZulu at Athlone Stadium. And on Saturday 17 December Ajax take on Golden Arrows at 18:00 at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban.
BOOTH: Ajax Cape Town players swarm Mathew Booth after the lanky defender scored the sec ond goal of the match against Bloemfontein Celtic during an Absa League match. George Malule ka opened the scoring for the Urban Warriors early in the second half, putting Ajax in the lead. Ajax won the match 20 on Sunday at the Cape Town Stadium. Their win moved them up to seventh place in the log standings. Pho to: Rashied Isaacs
