The Cape Town-based frozen foods distrib- utor has allegedly been importing pork prod- ucts, kangaroo and water buffalo meat, and relabeling the products as beef and halaal. It is also alleged that Orion Cold Storage im- ported pork hearts from Belgium and Ireland, relabeling and selling them as beef or sheep veal hearts, marked as halaal. 3rd Degree showed undercover footage which apparently showed employees using heat guns to remove original labels and re- placing them with halaal stickers. Various Muslim butcheries were shown, to indicate how big the halaal market is and how people have been affected. After the snippets of Wembly, Rawoot and Rylands butcheries in Athlone were showed, rumours surfaced about Rawoot butchery. The butchery, which opened in 1953, and its supporters slammed the rumours. “The allegations have been deeply pain- ful,” says a spokesperson for Rawoot butch- ery. “These messages have been irresponsi- ble. We never bought any meat products from Orion Cold Storage and we only purchase products from accredited and certified halaal wholesalers. Our butcher was only featured on 3rd Degree to show halaal butchers and someone mis-interpreted this. We are urging people to stop gossip mongering.” The spokesperson says although these ru- mours have been deeply painful, they have not affected their business. “Our customers have been buying from us for many years and they know we would nev- er do that to them, because we would have to answer to Allah.” Nabeweya Malick, spokesperson for the Muslim Judicial Council, said the registra- tion of Orion Cold Storage had been revoked. “After it was ruled that Orion Cold Storage had been found guilty, the MJC had no deal- ing with Orion. The MJC condemns the crime as it shows disrespect to Muslim people. “We would like to assure the community that for 45 years all the proper procedures have been followed to ensure that halaal meats are given to the people.” She added that the chickens which the MJC certified at Orion Cold Storage were halaal. “A vet, inspector and members of the De- partment of Trade and Industry were present when the chickens arrived and everything was in order. The MJC had no jurisdiction over the Orion Cold Storage Facility and had no idea what was happening and condemns this action.” Regarding the messages left on social net- working sites about Rawoot butchery Malick says: “No butchery should be targeted. We cannot go around as Muslims spreading such malicious rumours and need to be careful.” Gerhard van Niekerk from Hout Bay wags his finger at Trans- port MEC Robin Car- lisle during a protest on Chapman’s Peak on Sunday 22 Janu- ary, against a R54 million office building and toll plaza planned for the pass.

AS part of the Back to School Cam-paign, Proudly South African will
feature three member companies makinga positive difference in education, thelives of children and job creation.
This week, Minieze Taylor, corporate so-cial investment manager at greenOFFICE, isfeatured.
His focus is educating the youth about envi-ronmental responsibility and the positive dif-ference they can make to their schools andcommunity.
“The greenSCHOOL programme waslaunched to get learners, their parents, teach-ers and the community involved in making
a positive difference on our planet,” says Tay-lor.
“The greenSCHOOL programme is a corpo-rate social investment (CSI) initiative ofgreenOFFICE, which aims to assist learnersin actively participating in recycling pro-grammes, raising funds for their school’sgreen initiatives such as waste manage-ment.”
He says learners collect used printer car-tridges and take them to school, where green-OFFICE collects them. Some schools havebeen collecting for the last five years.
“The funds go to the school, and for every100 cartridges collected, greenOFFICE do-nates a tree to the school. Over the past year
greenOFFICE has donated morethan 30 trees to schools nation-wide. The greenSCHOOL pro-gramme is constantly educatinglearners about recycling and thebenefits.”
greenSCHOOL attends schoolassemblies and various schoolfunctions. “The greenSCHOOLprogramme reaches future recy-clers and conveys the message ofbeing sustainable in simple andpractical ways,” says Taylor.
“The highlight has been theability to grow thegreenSCHOOLprogramme. It has certainly been
an achievement for us. The programme start-ed with only four schools in 2006 and grew toassist over 55 schools in 2011.”
He says challenge is that the lack of educa-tion prevents a lot of people from recyclingproperly.
“The greenSCHOOL programme is con-stantly educating the community, to countera lack of knowledge and skills. We are slowlybut surely reaching a group of young mindswho will grow up to become the ambassadorsof recycling in their homes and communi-ties.”
The greenSCHOOL programme hopes tocollect 100 000 cartridges in 2012.
“We would like to keep all the cartridgeswe collect out of landfill and have them recy-cled by our non-profit organisation, greenA-BLE.
“Naturally, we would like to add moreschools to our programmes. Continuing agreat relationship with current schools is vi-tal to the success of greenSCHOOL, so this isdefinitely a goal for 2012 and beyond,” saysTaylor.

ALTHOUGH the minstrel season gotoff to a good start, organisers now
face having to cancel the prestigious“Champs of Champs” after discoveringthat a holy day for Muslims takes place aweek before the finals.
This means the competition dates will haveto be rescheduled, but this creates a problemas the soccer action returns to Athlone Stadi-um on Saturday 18 February.
Moulood takes place on Saturday 4 Febru-ary, which means that the competition willhave to be postponed.
Kevin Momberg, chief executive for theCape Town Minstrel Carnival Association,
initially confirmed the new headache lastweekand said: “Weare still looking todiscussthematter indetail, but it’s lookingmore like-ly that the Champs of Champs will have tobe cancelled due to the venue not being avail-able.”
Richard Stemmet, chairperson for the CT-MCA, was not disappointed at the prospect ofhaving the event postponed until next year,as he felt that respecting the community’s ho-ly days and events should be the “number onepriority”.
“We are now setting up meetings with thedifferent captains and generals in order to in-form them about the postponement of theevent, but generally we are happy and will re-spect the community,” says Stemmet.
Now confirmed, the final day of the min-
strel season will be at the AthloneStadium on Saturday 11 February,where events such as the groupsongs and exhibition marches willbe held.
Normally, at the end of proceed-ings, the champions are named,with the coveted Carnival Trophybeing handed to a deservingtroupe, among many other prizesfor events performed over recentweeks.
“That is really what everybodylooks forward to and we end theminstrel season on a high and lookforward tohostingyet another suc-cessful event next year,” Stemmetadded.
He confirmed that all teams un-der the CTMCA carrying march-ing permits will be allowed to pa-rade their trophies through areassuch as the historic Bo-Kaap areaand Lentegeur in Mitchell’s Plein.

Indaba to counter homelessnessREYANA STEYN
ATHLONE councillors are gearing upfor an indaba on homelessness in a
bid to alleviate the problem which hasbeen ongoing for years.
After continuous complaints from resi-dents on the influx of vagrancy in the areaand the health hazard which goes along withit, councillors went on a tour to observe theproblems for themselves.
Councillor George March, Athlone sub-council chairperson, took the initiative andtalked to business owners, asking them to bepart of the indaba as they are also affectedby the vagrancy.
They agreed.This came to light in the Athlone subcoun-
cil meeting held on Thursday at the AthloneCivic Centre.
“These issues are important to our resi-dents and they must be addressed,” saysMarch, Athlone.
“But we are also looking at a way to bet-ter the lives of the vagrants so they canhave a place to stay.
The intention of the workshop will beto develop a comprehensive, strategicplan on how to deal with the challenge byincorporating the entire multi-discipli-nary team from all levels of government.
“We need to address the problem in away that will be beneficial for both resi-dents and vagrants. We need to try andfind homes for the homeless people.”
He says many of the vagrants refuse togo to a shelter because they might haveto leave the Athlone area.
“All the roleplayers in the indaba willdiscuss what solutions can be put intoplace to better the situation,” says March.
“Another problem we want to dealwith is streetchildren – we want tofind ways to get the children back in-to the school system and get them offthe streets.
Magadien Davids, councillor ofWard 48, says the indaba is a greatidea.
“Residents often come to us wanting the va-grants to be removed, but when Law Enforce-ment is called the vagrants return the followingday. Homeless people are also residents of thecommunity and therefore we want to help them.”
The indaba is expected to take place in March,
but preparatory meetings will take place inFebruary.
Anyone interested in being part of the in-daba or seeking more information can callthe Athlone subcouncil offices on (021) 6379757.

Energy saving lightbulbs have anenvironmental benefit because theycut your lighting cost by using lesselectricity and last up to eight timeslonger, resulting in a reduction ingreenhouse gases. The small amountof mercury that energy savinglightbulbs contain is almost used upby the time the lightbulb is ready fordisposal. So try not to break the lamp anddispose of CFLs at participating retailers.
Old CFLs can be exchangedfor new ones in two ways:
a. There will be a door-to-door exchange(people will come to your door to dothe exchange).
b. Self exchange points will be set up incertain areas, where you will be ableto go and do the exchange.
Don’t miss out!Save energy and save money!
The exchange period will run from November 2011 to January 2012.

Report municipal problems onlineCAPETONIANS have a new way of report-ing municipal problems and it happens atthe click of a button.
Mobilitate is an online platform that allowspeople to register at no cost and to report mu-nicipal issues such as faulty streetlights orpotholes by using Google Maps to pin-pointthe exact location.
Mobilitatenotifies the relevantmunicipali-ty and also the ward councillor in question.
All the communication and updates hap-pen in one place visible for everybody to see.
To date, 103 issues have been reported inCape Town, of which 90 have been fixed. Ac-cording to Mobilitate spokesperson ZeldaPotgieter, the City of Cape Town responds to
Mobilitate issues quickly and gives feedbackand updates. “It has only been a few monthssince Cape Town started to actively partici-pate on Mobilitate and we want to congratu-late them for using the function that othermetros have shown interest in but have notyet fully committed to. The City of Cape Townhas not just shown interest, it has really risento the occasion,” said Potgieter.
Mobilitate has also created infrastructurefor all 4 277 wards in the country, enablingward councillors, proportional councillors,ward committees and their constituents toparticipate. A link to all of the Cape Townward councillors can be found on www.mo-bilitate.co.za. People can also access the sitevia iPhone and Android.
Get on the bus and winTHE passenger figures for the MyCiTibuses over the festive season are both sur-prising and pleasing. averaging 11 497 perweek, compared to 11 248 in November.Also encouraging was the increase in theuse of the Airport shuttle from 1 to 31 De-cember, amounting to 12 290, an 11% in-crease over November’s figures. “The pas-senger figures for the month of Decemberare very encouraging and exciting. Dur-ing a month when many people take leavefrom work we could have expected a de-cline in passenger numbers from previousmonths – as experienced by other sched-uled bus services in the city. The fact thatour passenger numbers have showngrowth from November is good news andis a clear indication that the service is tak-ing root as a public transport service with
substantial off-peak travel,” says BrettHerron, Mayoral Committee Member forTransport, Roads and Stormwater. Alsoduring the month of December over 2 000myconnect cards were sold. Remember toget your card before 15 January to be en-tered into a draw to win one of these priz-es:

Bridgetown’s dreams come trueWHAT started off as a dream in Sep-
tember last year for two Bridget-own Theatre Company (BTC) produc-tions ended up being an artistic achieve-ment beyond anyone’s wildestexpectations.
On Saturday 4 February at 20:00 two musi-cal productions – Echoes Three and We Strive– will be performed at the Athlone Civic Cen-tre. Theo Davids, artistic director of BTC,says: “When I started working with the tal-ented students from Bridgetown HighSchool, I saw the future and the future wasbright.
“The performance of We Strive, which isthe school’s motto, is the culmination of sev-en months of hard work without murmur.This musical is also the crowning glory ofBridgetown High’s exceptional 2011 99 per-cent matric pass rate.”
He says the majority of the learners comefrom poor socio-economic backgrounds.
However, they did not allow this fact to bea handicap. “In fact, it became a motivationas they didn’t conform to the myth that yourenvironment shapes who or what you be-come,” says Davids. The musical productionwas written by Grade 12 pupils Kim Rus-souw, Ma-sood Petersen, Pamela Xaba,Lance Wasserfall, Viwe Benxa, Lucas Sitholeand Nuroonisa Taliep.It is choreographed byBronwyn Lewis, Chante Gilbert and BTC’sRikki Williams.
The cast is made up of Bridgetown Highstudents Ma-sood Petersen, Bronwyn Lewis,
Lance Wasserfall, Viwe Benxa, Chante Gil-bert, Cameron Robertson, Rushaan Stem-met; Jarred Davids, Jeandre Davids, Fir-dows Samuels and many more.
. After the success BTC had with EchoesTwo in October, when it was performed atthe Nassau Theatre in Newlands, there wasa public call for it to be repeated.
This time, Davids promises it will be big-ger and better. Echoes Three is a musical re-vue that depicts a mad-cap and funny musi-cal journey of young people’s obsession withtheir belief “that nobody understands me”.
Echoes Three features the dancing and act-ing talents of Andrea Scott, Ricky Williams,Lindsay Jantjies, Zaidah Toefy, Zamile Majo-la, Amy du Plooy, Megan Booysen, Michaela
Herklaas, Angelique Lemens,Colleen Sauls, Dominique Pe-tersen, Chandre Matthewsand the Bridgetown keep-fitladies group.Justin Gordon,Dena Heynes, and Keizah duPlooy are singers in the pro-duction, which is directed byLydia Johnson and producedby Miriam Bux. For more in-formation or for tickets,which cost R30, contact KimRussouw on 072 994 5246 orMiriam Bux on 079 580 9187;or log on to face book: Bridget-own theatre company.

Learn the art of social media – for freeREYANA STEYN
HAVE you ever wanted to know how toblog, facebook, tweet or have the
skills to set up a website?
Well, now is your chance – ReconstructedLiving Labs Academy (Rlabs) in Bridgetownis offering various courses free of charge toanyone interested in learning about socialmedia.
The aim is to create an interaction space
for collaborative design, creation, dissemina-tion and application of knowledge, and to de-velop and empower champions in communi-ties through innovation.
The academy started off with a group ofyoungsters wanting to learn about social me-dia themselves, and it has grown into an acad-emy empowering people of all ages in andaround Athlone. It also has a presence in theUnited Kingdom, Europe, Asia and CentralAfrica with a goal of reaching all continentsby this year.
In 2007, 12 young men turnedtheir backs on drugs and gangs,deciding to educate themselveswith social media and planningto educate more people.
“Social media is all around andsome people don’t know how itworks. That’s why we decided wewanted to do this,” says BrentWilliams, Rlabs director.
“It wasn’t a way to make mon-ey; all we wanted to do was edu-cate the communities. We got theball rolling and began to get helpfrom various people who donat-ed lap-tops and equipment to fur-nish the place. We then realisedit wasn’t only youth who wantedto learn about social media, butpeople of all ages, so we opened
and they too would come to classes.Margo Fortune is doing her second year at
the Rlabs Academy and says the course is do-ing is exciting.
“I would recommend this for anyone whois interested in learning about social media,especially if you have just completed school.For me, the most exciting part of the coursehas been learning about blogging.”

Please return my missing catMY name is Riedewaan and on Saturday 14January at 17:00 I met you in the pet isle atPick n Pay in Kenilworth Centre.
You talked about your cat, which you havelost recently, and said how much he meantto you.
You asked about my kitten, his colour andhow old he was, what he liked and did notlike. You said you had extra cat food that youwanted to give to my cat and asked for ouraddress and said you would drop off the foodand would like to meet our cat. We live inRokeby Road, Crawford.
The same day our cat disappeared and wehave not seen him since.
Please, lady, if you took our cat could youplease return him.
My daughter aged eight misses our cat ter-ribly, each and every day that he is gone.
We will not ask any questions, as long asour cat is back in his own loving home withhis family.
I ask again, please phone me. I will fetchhim. Or drop him off at our house.
No questions asked. We will buy you an-other cat if you want one. Our cat is one yearold and light brown with a white patch onhis neck and paws.
My cellphone number is 083 3111 859.RIEDEWAAN GAMIELDIENCrawford
Is this really the Cape of envy?DOES anyone get the feeling that people upnorth don’t like Cape Town? What with thetoll roads, the ocean liner docking debacle,and them telling us there’s no problem withgangs on the Cape Flats.
With these and many other seemingly pet-
ty or vindictive issues, government is show-ing its true colours. I suggest they concen-trate on sorting out the 80 percent of thecountry that needs attention, and leave oursuccessful province to prosper and achievethe great things destined for it. After all,we’re supposed to be one country, all of us.The continued success of our provinceshould be recognized and praised by govern-ment and the ANC.
We are all South Africans regardless of theparty we choose or the province we comefrom.
To ignore, sabotage or downplay one ofyour children’s success stories is unhealthyand serves only to alienate this beautifulProvince from the rest of the country.
Keep it up at your own peril, because thecountry of “Cape Hope” is sounding betterand better to me!C.HARRISON

‘The Lord responds to faith’I WOULD like to comment on what PatrickAbrahams wrote (People’s Post, 17 January).Clearly he has no clue what the bible says.
God says in Exodus 20:1: “For I am the Lordyour God who brought you out of Egypt andout of the land of slavery.You will not haveany other gods before me”.
The problem with people are that they’rescared of confrontation.
There are many religions in the world butwe don't all serve the same God.
All other religions acknowledge JesusChrist, even Islam, but they don't recognise
Jesus as the “Son of God”.Well, my Bible says that He is, so how can
we all serve the same God when the rest don'tbelieve in His Son, Jesus Christ.
As far as good luck goes, God doesn’t needluck to do anything and Christians shouldn’teither.
The Lord my God only responds tofaith.
You need to get the facts straight becausewhat you are saying is misleading and manygullible people might agree with you.TIMOTHY VAN ROOYEN
Understand the ignorance of religionTHE comments in the most recent People’sPost show a remarkable ignorance of reli-gion.
For example, we have the claim that youneed to believe in god to become better, mor-ally and spiritually.
“Spiritually” makes no sense as there is in-sufficient evidence to support the idea of aspirit.
Morally, however, we know that the oppo-site holds true.
The less religious a society, the better thelevels of education, protection of humanrights and the lower the levels of violenceand prejudice. Then we have quotes suppos-edly showing how the Qur’an condemns vio-lence. Contrary to “explicitly” condemningit, not one of the quoted paragraphs says athing about violence.
They stress justice, or at least the Muslimnotion of justice, which, if you look at the Is-lamic countries, does not resemble any ac-ceptable version of justice and equality.
To claim that the Qur’an doesn’t advocateviolence on the innocent is demonstrablyfalse. Chapter 4 Verse 89: “They but wish that
ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thusbe on the same footing (as they): But take notfriends from their ranks until they flee in theway of God (from what is forbidden). But ifthey turn renegades, seize them and slaythem wherever ye find them; and (in anycase) take no friends or helpers from theirranks.”
Chap 8 Verse 12: “I will instil terror intothe hearts of the Unbelievers: Smite ye abovetheir necks and smite all their finger-tips offthem.”
In the Hadith, there are accounts of Mo-hammed saying that a night-time attack onpagans was acceptable even if it exposestheir women and children to danger. Otherverses say it would be fine to kill a child ifyou could tell whether they would grow upto be a Muslim or not.
All you need to do is look around the worldto see that greater levels of religion are corre-lated with significantly worse-off societiesand you only need to read the religious textsto find verses extolling the virtues of vio-lence, sexism and prejudice.JASON BOSCH

THE musical legacy of sax man Win-ston Mankunku Ngozi comes to life onSunday 29 January.
Music lovers will gathern at West Endin College Road, Rylands, for Yahkal’ In-komo, a tribute to thepioneering saxopho-nist who died in 2009.
While Yahkal’ Inkomo (the bellowingbull) refers to the 1968 recording by thesax man, recounting the slaughter of acow. The other cattle in the kraal look onand cry for their kind. The bulls bellowin anguish and despair.
The bellow of anguish from Mankunkuwas inspired by his treatment during theapartheid years, when he had to play be-hinda screen in theCityHall,while awhi-temanbilledasWinstonMannmimed thesaxophone parts on stage, because thewhite authorities found it unacceptablethat black musicians should be acknow-ledged as capable of playing such “sophis-ticated” music.
Metaphorically, theywere slaughteringblack jazz musicians. Mankunku fell intodespair. When he eventually recovered hereleased the album which still remains amilestone in the history of South Africanmusic. The song became an anthem forjazz musicians and jazz lovers.
Yakhal’ Inkomo has become one of thebiggest selling jazz albums of all time inSouth Africa. It was recorded with theEarly Mabuza Trio featuring Mabuza, thelegendary drummer, bassist AgrippaMagwaza, and pianist Lionel Pillay. Therecording has become one of the all-timeclassic South African jazz albums, re-rele-ased in 1975, 1985 and 1989, and since 1996
available on CD.At West End that legacy will be celebra-
ted when sax men Barney Rachabane,Khaya Mahlungu and Mark Fransman il-lustrate just how far we have come becau-se of that bellowing bull. Each sax playerwill be playing two songs of their choiceand for the finale all three will join forcesin a mega celebration of Mankunku’s le-gacy. Featuring with them will be GeorgeWerner on piano, Errol Dyers on guitar,Spencer Mbadu on bass, Victor Kula onsax and Ivan Bell on drums.
The concert is sponsored by KWV 10-ye-ar-old Brandy. Doors open at 17:00 ticketsare R60 at the door. Further informationfrom 021 637 9132.

Jazz singer spreads wingsGARY VAN DYK
JAZZ singer Wathiq Hoosain is on a jour-ney to stages across the world.
On Tuesday 31 January he will hold hislast concert on home soil before leaving forNorway, which he sees as a stepping stoneto an international career.
It has been a long journey from singingin musicals and the choir at primaryschool, fronting the National Youth Bandat Grahamstown for a few years, and eventaking at chance with Pop Idols.
Originally from Rylands in Athlone whe-re he went to Turfhall Primary School, thejazz bug bit when he joined an extra-muralactivity at school.
“I began singing in primary school. Aspart of the choir and singing in schoolplays, my life changed when they startedTurfjamp,” he says.
“The programme was for young aspiringjazz musicians from all schools in CapeTown, founded by the late Hotep Galeta inpartnership with the school.
“During this time the band was led byShannon Mowday before the SekunjaloFestival at the Baxter and The National Yo-uth Jazz Festival in Grahamstown. We for-med a school band with members from thejazz programme at Muizenberg High andBishops, first performing at the Baxter andthen Grahamstown.
“That festival made up my mind. I wasat a meeting point for young people intere-sted in jazz. I met many musicians from allover the world and experienced music ofan international standard. I was hooked!
“More proof that I had to be a singer wasthat I got the vocalist spot with the nationalband for five years in a row.”
Wathiq attended Muizenberg HighSchool before he was offered a scholarshipto Westerford High. While at UCT in 2009he was accepted into the exchange pro-gramme at the Norwegian Academy of Mu-sic for one year.
“I studied jazz performance with two ofNorway´s leading singers, Guro GravemJohansen and Live Maria Røggen. It wasincredible living in Oslo, being able to ex-perience a music scene so different to whatI was used to. Upon my return to South Af-rica I knew that I wanted to go back.
“This will be happening in February be-cause I have been accepted to do an intern-ship through a music company in Oslo. Iwill work with a vocal ensemble as both asinger andarranger. I haveplans to rekind-le my European quartet formed during myprevious stay. Apart from this, I have deve-loped great friendships with many peoplein Oslo and I cannot wait to return.”
Last year he entered Pop Idols.“I decided to audition for Idols on the
spur of the moment after being urged to doit for so long. I went there with no expecta-tions. I had nothing to lose and wanted tojump out of my comfort zone.
“Bearing in mind that singing pop is notmy strongest point as a singer, I progressedfurther than I had expected.
“Comments were mostly based on thefact that my vocal sound was different. Ga-reth Cliff thought I sounded like I couldsing on Glee and Danny K thought I shouldrather be singing in musicals.
“Idols is perfect for pop singers as younever know who may be watching and ma-ny people find successful careers as artistswithout winning reality shows. It´s a com-bination of self-drive, commitment and abit of luck.”
Wathiq said he was continuing his stu-dies in Norway.
“I have applied to the Norwegian Acade-my of Music to do third and fourth year ofa European Bachelors degree starting inAugust.
“My current goals are to finish my stu-dies in Oslo and set myself up as an artistbefore returning to South Africa. I’m a no-mad so I want to travel and learn from vari-ous places, gaining experience and collec-ting musical ideas.”
On Tuesday Wathiq can be heard from19:00 with Nick Williams (piano), Benja-min Jeptha (bass) and Claude Cozens(drums) at the Noel Taylor Hall at Wester-ford High in Newlands.
The venue is renamed The Jazz Cafe forthe event and tickets are R100, which inclu-des a two-course dinner.
For bookings, call 072 500 3951 or 083 2355977 or email [email protected].

New rugby teamfor RetreatLIAM MOSES
A NEW rugby club is to be formed in Re-treat and will be based at the Basil D’Ol-iveira Sports Complex in Heathfield.
The club is the brain-child of Jan Burger,councillor of Ward 72, and Henry Moses, acommunity leader and member of the Re-treat neighbourhood watch.
According to Moses, the reason for form-ing the club is to help keep young peopleaway from crime, drugs and violence.
“I would like things to get better for theyouth. We must do something to keep thembusy,” said Moses.
“There are a lot of youngsters doing noth-ing. We want to keep them on the right pathby having workshops with them.”
Moses, Burger, and former Springbok,Western Province and Stormers prop-for-ward Eddie Andrews, who is currently awardcouncillor inMitchell’s Plain,metwithmembers of the community for the first timeon Thursday 19 January to inform themabout starting the club.
Burger has been trying to get youth fromthe area playing rugby since 2007, when hefirst became councillor, and the meeting wasthe first tentative step towards establishingthe club.
Moses and Burger named the side the JBPage Rugby Club, after Joseph BenjaminPage, former president of the Retreat andCity and Suburban Rugby Clubs.
According to Moses, Page had a massiveimpact on the lives of several young men inthe Retreat area.
“He was our Mr Rugby. He was the presi-dent of City and Suburban Rugby Union forabout 21 years. He was the guy who kept Re-treat Rugby Club together,” said Moses.
“If we didn’t have him, what would havehappened to us? My brother, myself, myfriends? We could have turned out doing thewrong things. He kept us busy with rugby.”
Moses added that before he and Burger set-tled on the name, he approached Page’s
daughter to ask for permission.“Over the years no one has honoured his
name. So I feel we must honour him. Wemust honour him for what he did for thecommunity.”
Moses himself has already had a similarinfluence on the lives of young people in theSouthern Peninsula, one of whom has goneon to play at the highest level of rugby possi-ble.
Eddie Andrews started playing rugby atthe Mitchell’s Plain Rugby Club, a team Mo-ses helped to found.
Andrews said that playing rugby helpedhim to change his mindset and outlook onlife, and that there were many benefits toplaying the sport.
“The benefit is that you are part of a differ-ent environment where you now have to con-tribute to a common goal,” said Andrew.
“You have to think differently. There alsowon’t be time for considering taking part inthe social ills in your community. You areexposed to social skills and most important-ly you have a support structure.”
“You realise that to achieve, you have towork harder. The bar has been raised.”
Andrews added that he intends to stay in-volved with the club and will assist withcoaching.
Burger praised Andrews and said he wasa perfect example of how rugby could changelives.
“Eddie was a rugby player and now he isa chairman of a sub-council in Mitchell’sPlain,” said Burger. “Look at his posture,look at his mannerisms, how he speaks.”
According to Moses, as many as 28 youngplayers from the greater Retreat area havealready decided to be part of the club.
The group will host a second meeting withresidents on Thursday 23 February, at theRetreat Community Centre in Toring Road,and calls on anyone interested to attend.
Contact Jan Burger on 083 415 3017 or Hen-ry Moses on 082 461 0101 for further informa-tion.
ROLE MODEL: Eddie Andrews, a former Western Province, Stormers and Springboks prop forward, addresses a small crowd at the Retreat Community Hall in Toring Road. Retreat residentsmet on Thursday 19 January to discuss the formation of a new rugby club in the area.

Stormers’ youngsters run riot in WellingtonLIAM MOSES
THE Western Cape has long beenconsidered to be one of the mostprolific producers of talentedrugby players in South Africa,and one of the most prolific in theworld.
And this belief was proven againon Saturday, when a youthfulStormers team brushed aside theBoland Kavaliers in their firstwarm-up game of the 2012 SuperRugby season.
The Stormers went into thematch without the services of expe-rienced players such AndriesBekker, Schalk Burger, BryanHabana, Duane Vermeulen, GioAplonoranyof the regularswho ledthe team to victory in the South Af-rican conference of the 2011 SuperRugby campaign.
However, despite the absence ofso many first choice players, Al-ister Coetzee’s charges still man-aged to run in seven tries and winthe match 45-17.
The match may only have been afriendly, but the comprehensivevictory will help to allay fears thatthe team could be short on depth inkey positions for this coming sea-son.
Bolla Conradie, who last playedfor the Stormers in 2010, proved asteadying hand at scrumhalf andwill be an adequate replacement forfirst-choice scrumhalf Dewalt Du-venhage in case of an enforced lay-off.
New signings Burton Francis, JPdu Plessis and Gerhard van denHeever also performed well andcould feature regularly this season.
Francis, a former Blue Bullsplayer who was signed from the Li-ons, provides much needed cover atfly-half, a position where theStormers have been short-staffedand injury-hit, while Du Plessis,who returned to South Africa aftera spell in Australia playing bothRugby Union and Rugby League,will lessen the impact made by thedepartures of centres Johann Sadie(Blue Bulls) and Jacque Fourie (Ja-
pan), and Van den Heever, signedfrom the Blue Bulls, provides Co-etzee with an excellent option atfullback or on either wing.
The side’s other two off-seasonsignings, Joe Pietersen and DeonCarstens, who both returned toSouth Africa after plying theirtrade abroad, did not take part inthe game.
The speedy development ofyoungsters at the union hasswelled the Stormers’ forwardranks.
Props Frans Malherbe and Ste-ven Kitshoff could see significantgame time this season, while theteam’s established lock partnershipof Rynhard Elstadt and AndriesBekker will have to fight to staveoff the challenge of Quinn Rouxand Eben Etzebeth, and the pres-ence Nizaam Carr, Yaya Hartzen-berg, Siya Kolisi, Nic Koster, NickFenton-Wells and Rueben Johan-nes will ease the team’s passage in-to life without Springbok flankFrancois Louw, who left for Eng-lish club Bath at the end of last sea-
son.Coetzee will know that, despite
winning the Currie Cup First Divi-sion in 2011, Boland are a worldaway from the quality they will
face every week in Super Rugby.The Stormers will face stiffer op-
position this week, when they clashwith 2011 Currie Cup championsthe Lions at Newlands on Friday.
