TAFELSIG

Fury at suspect's release

SAMANTHA LEE @Samantha_Lee121

iolent protests have erupted following the release of a Tafelsig man connected to the murder of a 61-year-old woman.

Tafelsig residents took to the streets on Wednesday 4 March in a three-hour long demonstration.

Police spokesperson Sergeant Jerome Voegt confirms that protests started at 18:30 outside the woman’s Winterhoek Street home and moved to AZ Berman Drive between Spine Road and Langeberg Avenue.

“Police vehicles were stoned as they arrived at the scene. We understand residents’ frustration but it stems from a lack of education on how the court processes work,” says Voegt.

It is understood that residents were on a manhunt for a 21-year-old man who had been released following the case against him being provisionally withdrawn pending further investigation.

The man was arrested on Monday 2 March after the discovery of the woman’s body in a council-issue refuse bin.

About 08:15 that day police were called to the scene, confirms Mitchell’s Plain police spokesperson Constable Zandile Marashula.

“An officer arrived at the home and found the woman’s body inside a dirt bin,” she says.

People’s Post understands the bin had been put out for refuse collection on Monday.

A council worker opened the bin at the truck and discovered the woman’s bloodied body inside.

The circumstances surrounding her death were still unclear at the time of going to print. However police have confirmed a murder case is being investigated.

It is understood the woman was beaten to death with a hammer.

The suspect had been taken in for questioning and was later arrested in connection with the murder.

He appeared in court on 4 March and was released.

Voegt says the case was under investiga-

“The man was released as we are awaiting further information. In this case we are waiting on the forensic results. If the suspect is linked to the case following the results he will be back in court. The case has not been thrown out. It has been provisionally removed until the preliminary investigation is complete,” Voegt says.

Protestors started burning tyres and throwing stones at police vehicles when they learnt of the release.

Cases of public violence and malicious damage to property have been opened at the Mitchell’s Plain Police Station for investigation following the protest.

Voegt says no arrests have been made and no injuries were reported.

Reports of the use of tear gas to disperse the crowd could not be confirmed.

Instead, Voegt said: “When managing public violence we will use minimum force possible to control the situation.”

Mitchell’s Plain Community Police Forum chairperson Abie Isaacs was at the scene of the protests. He confirmed the burning tyres and stone-throwing.

“We condemn these violent acts in the strongest terms,” he says.

The investigation is ongoing and the woman has since been buried in accordance with Muslim rites.

The investigation also includes an in-

depth look into the woman’s report history.

Police are looking into the possibility of a history of domestic violence and other violent crimes which may have occurred in the household.

Voegt says although it may not be the case in this incident, he urges residents to come forward and not to withdraw cases when they get to court.

“Domestic violence is very difficult to police because it happens in the household.

However, if it is reported we can hold them [perpetrators] accountable,” he says.

V Anyone with information on the murder case is urged to phone the investigating officer Sergeant Spensor Fillis on 082 777 8076 or the Mitchell’s Plain cluster operations room on 021 370 1706.

INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY

www.peoplespost.co.za

In a fight for independence

Competitions

MONIQUE DUVAL @monique_duval

W

ith limited options for lifelong learning, many intellectually disabled people fight a constant battle for independence.

This month authorities and organisations like Cape Mental Health are shining a light on the plight of children and adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) and the challenges faced when accessing postschool qualifications.

Win tickets to see Goodluck perform

Awareness March is Intellectual Disability Awareness Month.

In South Africa and according to a statement by Cape Mental Health pupils with ID have limited opportunities for lifelong learning, education and employment once they exit the school system.

“There are few, if any, post-school qualifications offered at a suitable level of understanding, with appropriate training methods and materials, to suit their special educational needs.”

The organisation has embarked on a campaign to raise awareness about the equal rights of persons with ID to lifelong learning, education and employment opportunities in the open labour market.

Challenges According to Cape Mental Health spokesperson, Chanelle Albertyn, pupils with ID face a host of challenges.

She says children with ID who do not participate in programmes after school often sit at home without any stimulation, become bored and may be vulnerable to substance abuse and unlawful behaviour.

lies. That can have a significant impact on their self-esteem, as they see others around them transitioning into adulthood and contributing to society,” she says.

Albertyn further explains pupils with ID who are medium to high functioning attend Learners with Special Education Needs (LSEN) schools but find it hard to access accredited post-school training due to their lack of academic qualification when they exit the school system.

“They are unable to benefit from Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and Further Education and Training (FET) Colleges which require an NQF level 1 qualification in order to gain admission,” the statement says.

Albertyn says one of the biggest challenges is the perception that people with ID have little or no educational needs, and that they cannot be gainfully employed and make a meaningful contribution to society.

Initiatives Considering the challenges the organisation has partnered with organisations in Germany and has researched and investigated best practice models in German-based organisations and institutions. It has developed a draft concept and course outline for a post-school qualification that will change the lives of youth with intellectual disability.

Cape Mental Health director Ingrid Daniels says with more pupils with ID being educated there is a greater chance for them to access gainful employment and enjoy improved livelihoods through economic activity.

According to their statement, significant funding is required to enable them to develop and implement a post-school qualification for pupils with ID.

On Friday 6 March provincial social development minister Albert Fritz opened The Open Circle, a newly-established group home for adults with intellectual disabilities on the grounds of Alexandra Hospital in Maitland.

The group home, which is funded by provincial government, renders residential and outpatient services to intellectually disabled adults who display challenging behaviour.

Support In their concept document, Cape Mental Health proposes a three-year post-school qualification.

In the first year, learners will focus on an introduction to adulthood and the world of work.

In the second year they get exposure to different career options and related skills.

In their final year they are provided with career-specific orientation and preparation relating to exit opportunities.

The document further says the course will include classroom training and practical work placement in a suitable work environment.

“The course modules will include practical work skills, individual career development and guidance, life skills, health and safety, understanding work and employment, as well as fundamentals such as numeracy, literacy and communication,” it says.

Albertyn says the organisation is in need of funds to develop the course and welcomes donations. “The public can help us raise awareness by liking our Facebook page and sharing our posts,” she adds.

EDUCATION

Tackling schooling issues

SAMANTHA LEE @Samantha_Lee121

T

housands of children in Mitchell’s Plain will grow up without completing their education.

The main reasons for this are either a school shortage or the lack of interest in an education.

Paddy Attwell, communication head at the provincial education department, agrees that Mitchell’s Plain has experienced considerable demand for places.

“District officials are checking lists to verify which pupils already have places and are implementing measures to place pupils, as required. The department will continue to implement measures in the short, medium and longer terms,” he says.

He says overcrowding at schools is as a result of urban development.

“Migration is a key factor. Language is also a factor as parents ask for schools where the language of instruction is English. Late enrolment and new applications during the first term of 2015 have been a contributing factor. Many parents, for various reasons, did not apply before the end of last year, which has put pressure on the system,” he says.

However, Attwell says pupil numbers are stabilising.

“Schools can now free places where pupils have not taken up their seats. Parents must keep in touch with district offices where officials will assist them,” he says.

Last year hundreds of pupils playing truant were identified in Hyde Park.

Attwell says the Safe Schools officials work with schools to identify truants needing support and that the Department of Edu-

cation works with social development and other agencies to identify street children needing support as part of a broader “whole of society” approach.

Attwell also urges parents to make use of the new online Schools Admission Management Information (SAMI) system that is making it much easier to track new arrivals and to place them appropriately.

As thy recognise space as an issue, Attwell says they are looking into expanding current schools.

“We are deploying mobile classrooms in many areas to meet rapidly growing demand for places. Our medium plans include building new schools and enlarging existing ones,” Attwell says.

A timeline for the project has not yet been established.

Other departments also took an interest in the problem.

Specifically aimed at truancy and those who do not want to start school, provincial minister for Community Safety Dan Plato visited the area (“Putting education first”, People’s Post, 10 February).

Parents told Plato they want their children in school, but other factors are preventing this.

Plato said: “Residents are not aware of the resources available to them and they are not sure what to do next. As government it is up to us to inform and educate the people of the options available. Mothers are telling me their children want to go to school, but they are afraid.”

At the time of the visit he said: “We are standing in the territory of one gang and to get to school the children need to cross through the territory of another gang.”.

Details of children who could not be placed

Last month MEC for community safety Dan Plato did a walkabout in Hyde Park to assist parents who were unsuccessful in placing their children at local schools.

PHOTO: SAMANTHA at local schools were taken. Hundreds of names were collected in the three hours spent in Hyde Park.

Theresa Maans, a parent, said at the time she has already bought a uniform for her child and wants her to be at school. She adds that she attempted to contact local officials who could not help.

“An official from the school has been in touch with me to say they found a place for her somewhere, but did not say where,” Maans said.

Plato admits there are challenges as the rate of drop-outs and children at home is

LEE

“shocking”. An action plan will be drafted in the next few months and the departments will be liaising with schools and residents.

The team also handed out FET college information packs to teens and drop-outs in a bid to motivate them to further their education.

He said there are deeper rooted issues which will take time to sort through.

“This walkabout has taught us valuable lessons. There are too many children in the area who are not in school. It is shocking and we have a challenge which we need to address.”

P

arishioners of the Perez Ministries were invited to spend some time in the sun and in each other’s company.

Dozens of young and old attended the

church’s family fun and sports day held in Lentegeur on Saturday 28 February.

The outing included good food, great company and activities.

The jumping castle was open for the children and the young at heart.

Pastor Elizabeth Isaacs took a hands­on approach and checked to see that all was in order with the day’s meals.

The facts The article ‘New party launched’ (People’s Post, 3 March) incorrectly stated

that a new political party was launched in Manenberg.

The Social Development Party was in fact launched in the civic hall in Hanover Park on 24 February under the leadership of Ricardo Sedres.

CRIME

Perjury pile-up SAMANTHA LEE @Samantha_Lee121

F

ive years behind bars seems inadequate deterrent for hundreds of Mitchell’s Plain residents who continue to report false cases.

Police raised the alarm about an increase in perjury cases across the cluster.

Police Cluster commander Major-General Abraham Goss says residents do not understand the seriousness of these cases.

Last week three men appeared in the Mitchell’s Plain Magistrate’s Court in connection with perjury cases, Goss explains.

“Two men came to the Mitchell’s Plain Police Station to report cases of carjacking and hijacking,” Goss explains.

These incidents were reported separately on Thursday 26 February.

Goss explains at 19:20 a 30-year-old man reported his car had been hijacked and he had been kidnapped by unknown assailants.

“The investigating officer was investigating the case of hijacking and during the interview with the complainant, he discovered the man was lying. The car was in fact found in Manenberg,” he says.

Officers found an occupant inside the car and wanted to arrest him.

However, he had written proof, stamped by police officials that the man gave him permission to use his vehicle.

The 30-year-old complainant was arrested for perjury.

Later that same night, a Law Enforcement officer visited the Mitchell’s Plain Police Station to open a case of carjacking.

He claimed his blue Volkswagen Polo had been carjacked. Following an interview and investigation it was discovered that the man had made a false case.

It is alleged that the man had been in-

volved in an accident and rolled his car. The man was also arrested.

Richard Bosman, executive director for Safety and Security for the City of Cape Town, says he is aware of the incident.

“The City’s Law Enforcement department is investigating allegations in this matter.

The officer in question has been informed he is expected to have a meeting with myself, as I deal with suspension of staff relating to misconduct,” Bosman says.

Bosman says no decision has been taken at this stage.

“The result of the investigation will determine whether suspension will be considered. In the interim, I have revoked the staff member’s authority to wear a City-issued firearm and he may also not drive any City vehicle until this matter has been finalised,” he says.

“The matter is still under investigation as part of the internal departmental investigation. These allegations are very serious and the appointed chairperson in a case involving this type of misconduct will hear the evidence that is put before them and then make an appropriate ruling in terms of a sanction.”

But these are not isolated incidents.

On 21 February, a 39-year-old opened a case of robbery at the Strandfontein Police Station claiming he had been robbed of fishing equipment. The report was found to be false and he too was arrested.

This, coupled with hundreds of false robbery cases, is affecting crime statistics and resources. Goss says: “Resources are wasted on false cases when they could be spent solving more serious crimes. Also they result in inaccurate statistics because once a case is opened it cannot be removed. This holds serious implications and residents should refrain from throwing their lives away for insurance claims.”

Residents committing perjury face a five­year prison sentence if found guilty. Police have sounded the alarm following an increase in false cases for insurance claims since 2014. Police warn this is not an issue which is to be taken lightly as the charge holds serious implications.

Brigadier Cass Goolam started his term as the station commander effectively on Monday 2 March.

Goolam is not new to the station and had been acting station commander since last year.

He says the promotion came as a big surprise but feels ready for the challenge ahead.

“I have already been welcomed to the station and it was a very emotional moment for me. I don’t know how the officers knew but when I walked into the station on Monday, they had formed a guard of honour for me,” says Goolam.

He had been a colonel for the past 13 years and says there was tough competition competing for a promotion.

“It was a shock because there is a lot of competition at my level,” he says.

Goolam has three years’ experience as a station commander, following a previous stint at Kensington station and as acting commander for Steenberg, Manenberg, Delft and Mitchell’s Plain.

He had been shortlisted for the position at the Mitchell’s Plain Police Station twice and had been unsuccessful.

It seems the third time is a charm for Goolam, who says his family appeared more excited by the appointment than he was.

“I can best describe the look on my wife’s face to be similar to the way she looked when I proposed to her,” he says.

“My children were also going crazy all over social media.”

Goolam has been given the reigns and he will hit the ground running.

“I have been given the freedom to make hard decisions. In my acting capacity I could not make any radical decisions,” he says.

Over the next few weeks Goolam plans to

“I want to bring about a sense of pace among my members; pace in that detectives must work toward urgency in matters to improve service delivery. I also want them to have more empathy and zero tolerance toward crime,” he explains.

This is in a bid to bring back the passion for the job.

After 31 years in the service, his passion is still clearly manifested.

He believes that consolidating morale among his officers and their partners is also important.

“The Community Police Forum, subforums and the neighbourhood watches play

an important role in crime fighting. I cannot imagine divorcing this partnership. We are seen as one but many officers don’t realise the important role these entities play,” he says.

Goolam grew up in the small town of Bulwer – between Pietermaritzburg and the Underberg – and wanted to study forestry, but due to poverty he chose to become a police officer.

“After a few years of doing this, I realised: I am a cop, I love my job and I have not regretted my decision,” Goolam says.

He says the administrative role will be challenging for him.

“If I had it my way, I would have kept the salary of a brigadier and the rank of warrant

officer because I like being active,” he says.

Goolam started his career in the police in 1982 and was enrolled in the police academy to become a constable in 1984.

The following year he was promoted to sergeant, then to warrant officer in 1991, followed by captain in 1996, lieutenant-colonel four years later and colonel in 2002.

Given his background in intelligence, Goolam says, he will miss being hands-on.

This will be most challenging because my heart is on the street, he admits.

“And I think the officers need leadership on the ground because at times they are not aware of the needs of the communities. I want to light a fire and a never-say-die attitude in them,” he says.

Ward councillor Sheval Arendse is calling on all organisations to register on the Ward 82 database.

All registered and unregistered nonprofit organisations, non-government organisations and Early Childhood Development community structures are urged to register.

You can do this by sending a short introduction or letter with all the organisation’s information via email to info.ward82registration@yahoo.com, via fax to 086 528 5708 or by dropping it off at the councillor’s offices based at 115 Kilimanjaro Street in Tafelsig.

ith chess sets in hand and an inspiring story to relay, South Africa’s first Chess Grandmaster spread some motivation to Tafelsig High.

On Tuesday 24 February, Kenny Solomon was invited to speak to pupils at the school and encourage them to reach for their dreams.

Solomon was accompanied by the provincial parliamentary committee for Cultural Affairs and Sport.

Ricardo Mackenzie, chairperson of the standing committee on Cultural Affairs and Sport, completed the trip by hosting Solomon at the state of the province address.

“With great pride, we congratulate Kenneth Terence Solomon who has been awarded the title of International Grandmaster.

Other than world champion, the International Grandmaster title is the highest official title bestowed for over the board play in the sport of chess,” says Mackenzie.

Solomon has participated in more than 100 international competitions and has represented South Africa at every chess olympiad since 1998, winning the South African Championship on four occasions.

“We are heartened that one of the world’s strongest chess players was born and bred in Lentegeur. We honour Solomon as a true role model and an inspiration to our youth in the province. Undoubtedly, he is a real life example of rising above the challenges with which one is faced,” Mackenzie says.

Mackenzie adds that sport contributes to social cohesion in the province.

“It is important to encourage the youth and communities to engage in positive sporting activities. This engagement has proven to be a powerful mechanism in combatting social ills within our communities and affords youth opportunities to excel, despite the many challenges they face daily.

“This, in turn, sparks a sense of achievement and optimises social behaviour and in

effect promotes social cohesion, which is indeed lacking in some parts of our country,” he says.

The pupils benefitted from his motivation but were also taught how to appreciate the game.

Solomon donated several chess sets to the school in a bid to promote the game.

Mackenzie says he was lucky to bear witness to Solomon’s passion through accompanying him to many areas in Cape Town during his visit.

“He is certainly a role model for the youth of our generation and I hope he will inspire them as much as he has me.”

CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Get tested

A

Stellenbosch University kidney expert is encouraging people to get tested for chronic kidney disease (CKD) for World Kidney Day on Thursday 12 March.

This so-called “silent killer” affects about one in every 10 South Africans. But because there are few symptoms in the early stages of the disease, not many patients realise they are affected until it is too late.

“By the time a patient develops symptoms, CKD has sometimes been present for months or even years, and then it may be too late to reverse the problem,” says Professor Razeen Davids, the head of Stellenbosch University’s Division of Nephrology at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS).

CKD is present when the kidneys do not function optimally to filter waste products, or leak abnormal amounts of protein or blood into the urine. This is mostly a result of damage caused by common diseases such as diabetes, uncontrolled high blood pressure (hypertension) and infections like HIV. “In Africa we have a lot of infectious diseases which contribute to our burden of kidney disease. HIV in particular is one of the major causes of kidney disease in our patients,” says Davids.

CKD symptoms include tiredness, shortness of breath, and swelling of the feet and ankles. As most people with CKD also have hypertension, a simple and cheap screening procedure involves a blood pressure test and performing urine dipstick test. Annual screening is recommended for people at a higher risk of developing CKD. These groups include individuals with diabetes, hypertension, HIV, heart disease, a previous stroke, obesity, and those over the age of 50.

Last year Davids and a colleague, Dr Julian Jacobs from the N1 City Hospital, released the first South African Renal Registry report in 20 years. The report revealed stark differences in treatment between kidney patients in the private and public health sectors, as well as between provinces. According to the registry there were 191 renal treatment centres in the country in 2012, of which 163 were in the private sector compared to only 28 in the public sector.

The release of this data by the Renal Registry was an important factor which prompted national health minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi to take firm action in the fight against CKD. Motsoaledi has convened a national summit to discuss the management of CKD in South Africa. “By making accurate data available, governments and other role players can plan their services appropriately,” says Davids.

The success of the South African Renal Registry has caught the attention of other countries on the continent, and on World Kidney Day Davids will host representatives from various African countries at the FMHS for a workshop on the implementation of national renal registries.

“Most African governments are unaware their citizens are dying of the complications of chronic kidney disease. By developing registries we can provide the information needed to make people aware of this dire need for treatment, and make it easier for physicians in the various African countries to motivate for government support for renal replacement programmes.”

V For more information, email Davids at mrd@sun.ac.za.

ZERO TOLERANCE

Corrupt cops suspended

SAMANTHA LEE @Samantha_Lee121

T

wo officers attached to Mitchell’s Plain Police Station have been suspended pending dismissal following corruption charges.

On Friday 27 February two constables were arrested at the station and appeared in court on charges of corruption and bribery on Monday 2 March (“Corrupt cops in dock”, People’s Post, 3 March).

According to a source close to the investigation, a warrant officer at Lentegeur Police Station received a call from the suspect who was at the back of a police van. The officer

who made the arrest confirms this.

“The suspect called me and explained the situation. He was left at the back of the van with his cellphone and was told to call his ‘people’ for money,” the officer says.

According to the suspect’s statement, the two officers had searched his home following a tip-off that drugs were being kept on the premises.

He was not home at the time and drugs were found buried in the garden of the man’s Bitou Street home.

The man’s wife called him to come home where the two constables arrested him.

According to the officer, the constables asked the man how much he was willing to

pay for his release.

The warrant officer says when the man was meant to call his ‘people’ he called Lentegeur Police Station instead.

“I tried to stall them and get a section 252 clearance, but I was too late. They took the man home and he offered them R500 which they refused. He then offered them R1000 which they accepted. Because I did not get the 252 in time, the man paid them from his own money,” the source says.

A section 252 is a warrant to perform an undercover operation.

When the man returned home he phoned the officer, stating he had paid the two constables in R20 and R10 notes.

When the warrant officer went to check the book-in log it was found that the drugs had been handed in and signed by one of the officers.

The two were called in as they were about to leave the station. When asked to empty their pockets, a roll of R10 and R20 notes was found on one of the officers.

The officers, aged 29 and 33, have been suspended.

Mitchell’s Plain police spokesperson Sergeant Jerome Voegt explains independent processes are now running concurrently.

“Even if the men are found not guilty in a court of law there is a second independent internal trial running where the men will be dismissed regardless. There is a zero tolerance policy with regard to corruption at any of the stations in Mitchell’s Plain,” he says.

Voegt urges residents to come forward with information.

“Give us names and details if you see anything that is suspicious. We will look into it,” he says.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Raise the bar

M

ajor funders of grassroots programmes should question whether they’re basing decisions of aid on pre1994 perceptions. The noble National Student Financial Aid Scheme has been hamstrung by corruption.

And while private donors continue to fill the gap, most of the funding goes to the same schools. It looks good on the corporate CSI budget for government photo opportunities to help those perceived to be in need. But how do you know if tangible needs are being met? These perceptions are legion and feed the inequalities which are perpetuated through a system of skewed decision-making in education, employment and funding. Of course many citizens remain trapped by the barbed wire set by apartheid.

And, yet, are some of us more equal than others?

How long do post-apartheid generations have to live in the shadow of labels, such as “disadvantaged” or “previously disadvantaged”? It is rich to assume all children attending previously advantaged schools happen to be the offspring of well-to-do parents. Not every white child is rich. Not every black child is poor. These are inconvenient truths. It would behove donors to launch investigations into genuine need and come face to face with ground level reality. But that would require bravery, commitment and courage – and getting out of multi-level plush offices.

It would surprise the corporate decision-makers to find the leafy suburbs have people who are battling to make ends meet in this depressed economy. And many who plead poverty while living in townships have far more disposable income than is declared.

It is time to act on conviction. This would be a step towards real equality in this new South Africa.

Without authentic action our country will not move into a position of equal distribution of wealth. We will not build a non-racial nation with a true middle-class to oil the wheels of the economy. And other nations will continue wooing our sharp minds with offers neither government nor the private sector could compete with.

At best, we can only hope for a thready pulse on the heartbeat of our economy.

I explained that back then people also earned little money and some could not even afford any of these items; the same applies today. Just look at the coffee price on the pamphlet; it is 10 times more in the shop today than what it was back in 1987.

As a parent and mother I shop wisely and I stick to my budget. I have also passed this [habit] on to my children.

I have such a heaviness in my heart today. I took a drive into the mountain.

The mountain I wake up to every morning, the mountain I walk through every second day and the mountain we all love.

What I was confronted with was utter devastation. Only [two] weeks ago I walked through the same mountain with a group of people. The message from our leading lady on the walk was to just try to get as close to nature as we could, which was not very difficult given our beautiful surroundings.

The birds were sitting ahead of us in our paths, the butterflies were resting on the fynbos, which was covered in dewdrops from the morning mist. The bushes were rustling with life as we walked past them. Huge bumblebees rested on the opening proteas. Nothing makes your heart as happy as connecting to all of these incredible things around you and feeling their presence. As my yoga teacher would say: awareness, acceptance and serenity.

Such a different picture to what I was presented with recently.

What I saw was like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie. Nothing moved in the ravaged landscape, except the ash on the breeze. It is deathly quiet. There are no chirping sounds from the birds, only a few black birds circling in the hazy grey sky. I felt like I was in a black and white movie.

Just witnessing this makes me realise how blessed my family is to be part of this amazing community that knows how to pull together when faced with a catastrophe of this magnitude.

Celebrating humanity Happy me, happy you.

That’s the theme for this year’s Ubuntu festival, which takes place at the Maynardville Park in Wynberg on Human Rights Day, Saturday 21 March.

The main attraction of the day is a concert by the popular group Mi Casa with support act Chad Saaiman, who makes a welcome visit back to his home town. Entrance costs a meagre R20 and will be donated to the Amy Biehl Foundation (ABF), the beneficiary of the fourth Ubuntu festival.

Other local up-and-coming acts will be on stage with a youth festival starting at 11:00 and a pop concert at 13:00. Mi Casa will be

up at 15:45, but festival-goers are invited to come early and enjoy a picnic and celebration of diversity with Bush Radio bringing music to the park on the day.

Pop-up food trucks will offer a literal taste of different cultures while little ones will be kept entertained with children’s activities.

All funds raised will go towards completing the renovations to the new home of the Amy Biehl Foundation.

This multi-purpose facility will house skills and entrepreneurship workshops to empower the youth.

V Entrance is free for children under 10. Festival gates will close at 18:00.

Kurt Schoonraad says Jou Ma se Comedy Club is all grown up now.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

You can’t call her Jou Ma Se Jou Ma Se Comedy Club has a new name, but the same heart.

Renamed the Cape Town Comedy Club, founder and co-owner Kurt Schoonraad says: “This is quintessentially a coming-ofage story.”

The brand was first created in 2005 and part of the Cape Town Festival, as a tonguein-cheek “Pop up Comedy Club”. In 2007, the club moved to the Albert Hall in Woodstock, where Kurt’s idea to provide a regular, reputable stand-up club was welcomed with open arms by Cape Town’s laugh-craving populace. Word soon spread, and Jou Ma Se Comedy Club became known as the mother of all Cape Town comedy clubs and home to some of the country’s greatest talent. The club mo-

ved to The River Club in Observatory in 2010 until October 2013. In November 2013 the brand found a permanent home at the historic Pumphouse at the V&A Waterfront.

After a successful first year at the club’s new home, the management team decided to rename the club to Cape Town Comedy Club.

“On reflection the name change seems like a natural thing to do. It feels like the brand is all grown up now and the new name reflects that,” Kurt explains.

V The Cape Town Comedy Club hosts comedy nights from Wednesdays to Sundays. Tickets cost R95 for Wednesday and Thursday night shows and R120 for weekend performances. Tickets are available at Computicket. Visit www.capetowncomedy.com for the club’s line up.

International Trade About 90% of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry. Without shipping, the import / export of affordable food and goods would not be possible (half the world would starve and the other half would freeze).

International Trade and Logistics is a dynamic and exciting field. It is a field that will only develop further into the future as nations compete against each other to manufacture and distribute their commodities cheaper.

Outcomes of this program include the ability to understand and apply the basics of supply on demand, absolute and comparative advantage and the need for international trade. Learners will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the basic philosophy of international trade agreements and the different modes of transport.

They’ll be chafing for dreams

A

organisations find it difficult to realise their dreams or achieve items on their wishlists.

By running for a worthy cause, we can assist a community-based organisation in realising some of their dreams. Yes, we will be chafing for dreams,” says Truebody Their beneficiary is Sherwood Park Special Care Centre for kids suffering from severe mental disorders, trying to instil some dignity in these kids who are many times forgotten by society at large. The centre is founded on Islamic principles, but their love and compassion is showered unselfishly on their 50 learners from various religious backgrounds.

“We will be running the Old Mutual Two Oceans Half marathon on Saturday 4 April, and each one of us want to be sponsored with R50 for each completed kilometre. The idea is not to compete against other runners, but to complete the Omtom journey and thereafter buying essential equipment that can be used to the advantage of the learners at Sherwood Park. Anyone can sponsor us with any amount of kilometres,” he says.

Contact the secretary, Ruschda Abrahams, on 082 389 4177 or visit their Facebook Page, Chafing for Dreams or send an email to chafingfordreams@gmail.com for more details on how to be part of this unique venture.

group of about 20 friends belonging to different running clubs in the Western Cape, will be ‘Chafing for Dreams’ during the upcoming Old Mutual Two Oceans Half marathon (Omtom).

“We decided to run in aid of a communitybased organisation in appreciation of the community’s involvement in supporting road runners when we are participating in road races – whether it is by cheering us on or doing duty at water stations on the route,” says Amorett Truebody, one of the members of Chafing for Dreams.

“The Omtom makes provision for running for a specific charity, but we decided to select a charitable organisation within our impoverished community with its scarce resources.

“But before we selected the beneficiary of our charity initiative, we decided on a name for our group of running friends. After much discussion we decided on Chafing for Dreams. It actually has a two-fold significance for us. We chose chafing because most of us only started with road running a year or two ago. So, this half marathon will cause a lot of chafing and inconvenience to us while running, but we are prepared to suffer and endure discomfort for a worthy cause.

Furthermore, we added the word dreams, because with limited resources community

New stars could be unearthed in under­19 tournament The Metropolitan under-19 Premier Cup, considered the birthplace of South Africa’s top footballers, is back for the 27th edition of the tournament and set to unearth exciting new talent, it was announced at the launch of the tournament in Cape Town.

Africa’s most prestigious youth football tournament, which bred some of the top football talent that went on to enjoy both local and international success, is where Benni McCarthy discovered his goal-scoring boots.

It is where Matthew Booth and Nasief Morris fostered their defensive qualities. It was the midfield battleground where Steven Pienaar, Thulani Serero and Ayanda Patosi cultivated their fine attacking talent.

Judging by some of these past success stories, it has come to be expected that a new legend could very well be born when the 2015 edition of the football tournament in the country rolls out over Easter, from 1 – 6 April, at the Erica Park grounds in Belhar.

At the launch, the draw for the 32-team tournament that started in 1989 was conducted with the help of past graduates and SA footballers Nasief Morris and Lance Davids.

Fans planning to attend the tournament in April can look forward to seeing local Western Cape teams display their football prowess during the Easter weekend, including Maties, which is an extension of the Stellenbosch University football side, who last played in the tournament in 2011. Hellenic, six-time champions and semi-finalists in

2014, will prove hard to beat again this year.

The pride of Langa – PPG Langa – who have a cordial relationship with Italian giants AC Milan, will make their debut at this year’s tournament, and are set to provide some excitement if their short passing game seen during the round robin stages is anything to go by.

Mamelodi Sundowns, champions in 2009, will be looking to exact revenge for their 1-0 defeat to six-time champions Ajax Cape Town in last year’s entertaining final. The Brazilians will be joined by other PSL under19 sides such as SuperSport United (2010 winners), Bidvest Wits (2003 winners), Polokwane City, Kaizer Chiefs, Chippa United and University of Pretoria.

International guest teams that will test their strength against South Africa’s best sides this year are Swansea City from England and neighbours from Zambia in the form of Zesco United.

Metropollitan will continue looking at the holistic development of all the players at the tournament, focusing on educating players on issues such as HIV/Aids, financial literacy, substance abuse, media training and managing their personal brand.

The winners of the tournament will receive R40 000 prize-money in addition to the trophy and medals. Runners-up will be rewarded with R20 000. There will be individual awards as well such as the Player of the Tournament, Goalkeeper of the Tournament, the Top Goal-scorer and Referee of the

Tournament, who will walk away with R2 000 for their achievements.

The teams are Ajax Cape Town, Bayhill United, Swansea City (Eng), Bidvest Wits, Berea Albion, Chippa United, Harmony Sports Academy, Fairview Rovers, Vasco Da Gama, Jumbo Giants, Maties, Milano United, PPG Langa, JL Zwane, Battswood, South-

ampton, SuperSport United, University of Pretoria, Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs, Arcadia Shepherds, Celtic United, Zesco United (Zam), Polokwane City, Invincible Cravenby, Greenwood Athletic, Hellenic, Morgenster United, Glendene United, Blue Downs Spurs, Old Mutual Academy and Riverside United.

All Stars are on the up SHIFAAN RYKLIEF

C

ape Town All Stars continue to climb the NFD table, while Milano United dropped points at this weekend’s NFD encounters.

Milano United continue to struggle at home and failed to secure maximum points against Baroka FC, despite taking a two-goal lead. Eezy My Kinnes looked the more vibrant side in the early stages of the match, and ultimately took the lead in the 20th minute through Ganief Stellenboom, following a scramble inside the 18-yard area.

Four minutes later, the visitors thought they had levelled matters, but Hlabane Kutumela’s effort was ruled out as offside.

Baroka found their confidence late into the opening half, and once they did, they created a number of opportunities of their own, but were denied by the safe hands of goalkeeper Lee Langeveldt. The Kinnes made it 2-0 in the opening minute of the second period when Deniro Stanley caught the visitors sleeping at the back. However, in the 62nd minute, Irvin Shibure gave his side a lifeline when he pulled one back from a free header

inside the danger area.

Things only got worse for the hosts when defender Chad Robertson got shown a straight red for an off-the-ball incident.

Baroka took full advantage of the extra man on the field, and did extremely well to hold onto possession and stroked the ball around beautifully in search of the equalizer. A minute from time the visitors were rewarded with a penalty, to which captain Gift Motupa made no mistake to convert as he helped his side to snatch a point in their 2-2 draw.

Meanwhile, Cape Town All Stars continued their scintillating form when they claimed a 2-0 win over Royal Eagles. Two second half goals by the in-form Amigo Memela was enough to maintain his side’s fourth position on the NFD table.

FC Cape Town managed to scrape a single point from Witbank Spurs, when they played to a 2-2 draw at Parow Park. Spurs initially took a two-goal lead into the break, before the African Beasts fought back to claim a draw.

Runners needed for study Subjects are needed for a UCT study on health, metabolism and diet in overweight female endurance runners.

The UCT/MRC Exercise Science and Sports Medicine research unit is recruiting participants for a study on health, metabolism and diet in overweight endurance runners. The main aim of the study is to determine the health and diet of endurance runners of varying body compositions (lean to very overweight) to try to understand which lifestyle factors are associated with being overweight.

Eligible female volunteers must: * Be between the ages of 35 and 45 years and overweight (BMI greater than 25kg/ m²). * Have completed about one marathon

or two half-marathon runs per year for the past five years. * Have completed a marathon or halfmarathon within the past six months. * Have been running consistently (3 times /week) for the past six months.

The benefits of taking part in the study are that participants will receive feedback from all results obtained in this study, including body composition and insulin-sensitivity, RMR, metabolic health, dietary analysis, VO2 max and PTRS.
