X1RH95H9-QK140616 SevaUnite teaches prisoners yoga as they believe true freedom is an inside job and yoga helps prisoners reach to their inner selves. POLLSMOOR Freedom behind bars Freedom behind bars TIYESE JERANJI @jeranji “T rue freedom is an inside job.” This is what SevaUnite in Claremont believes. They have been teaching prisoners yoga for the past six years. SevaUnite’s Prison Freedom Project teaches yoga and mindful- ness in prisons to alleviate suffer- ing and reduce crime. “The affirming, healing and re- habilitative benefits of yoga, relat- ed breathing and relaxation prac- tices for people living in stressful environments are profound. Yoga can bring people to a state of one- ness, unity, acceptance and love, with ourselves and for all those around us,” says Leela Codron, Se- vaUnite co-founder. The non-profit organisation practices yoga with prisoners at Pollsmoor Prison in Tokai every- day for an hour. A class has an av- erage of 15 to 35 people. “We’re in- terested in the power that yoga has, to help an individual transform from the inside. Overwhelmingly, prisons are not rehabilitation cen- ters but places of violence, shame and punishment. And since 60 – 90% of inmates commit crimes within three months of release, we wanted to try and create a different world where upon release, ex-cons become contributing members of society,” says Codron. Codron says in a country where people are completely overpow- ered and bombarded by violence and crime, they felt that doing this work is so critical in trying to make a difference to the future of South Africa. “Not everyone incarcerated de- serves to be forgotten about. There is an extremely large prisoner pop- ulation that is creative, purpose- ful, kind and useful to society – they just need assistance in being able to tap into their inherent selves, to re-assess what they think they are about, what they think they know. True freedom lies with- in, and we are interested in helping other fellow human being really unlock their potential.” SevaUnite hopes to change in- mates one prisoner at a time. “We teach one yoga class. An in- mate is inspired. He receives the free manual, starts to teach himself and then to teach others through our free correspondence course. One inmate can inspire hundreds! It’s simple. We provide inmates with the tools of yoga and mindful- ness practices – through classes, correspondence courses and men- torship. With regular practice, they develop self-awareness, for- giveness and personal responsibil- ity. This experience is so profound- ly transformative, that they are in- spired to share these practices with their fellow prisoners,” says Codron. SevaUnite, together with their volunteers, identifies ways for you to selflessly serve, to experience the uplifting effects of doing good things for others. “We see service as a path to self- discovery and personal growth, selfless service which is performed without any thought of reward or personal benefit.” Currently 250 people are en- rolled on their free six month cor- respondence course. “Those who are really interested can then sign up for our free teachers training course, where they teach three to five fellow inmates.”

What if People’s Post wasn’t anewspaper, but a broadcastingagency?
What if you weren’t bound tolisten to hyper-local news im-pacting on the suburb you livein, but rather the southern sub-urbs as a whole?
Would this contradict whatPeople’s Post stands for?
Followers of the newspaperon Facebook would have no-ticed a new feature – a weeklywrap-up video – posted everyTuesday.
In this short video some ofthe articles that appear in thenewspaper are highlighted,giving you the biggest weeklynews from the southern sub-urbs in bite-sized chunks. Some broadcast-ers bring you global news, some focus ona particular city, but no-one targets a rela-tively small area such as the southern sub-urbs.
This means, of course, that the newspa-per continues to set the bar of hyper-localcontent across all mediums.
The same concept has been embraced byTygerBurger,People’s Post’s sister publica-tion in the northern suburbs.
One of TygerBurger’s journalists, Bren-den Ruiter, asked himself how one couldspread the news in a digital world, andmake it as easy as possible for Facebookusers to stay up to date.
“The answer was simple. Why not aweekly news bulletin? We started a fewweeks ago and the video’s popularity is forall to see. It’s still a work in progress, ofcourse, with finer details still being ironedout.”
A couple of minutes a week to stay up todate with news headlines? The viewer’sconvenience is clearly the watch word.
Another imminent adoption will be therolling text at the bottom, which will meanone can watch the video with no sound if nec-essary.
In essence it is a news broadcast with avery brief description of the chosen articles.If one snippet piques your interest then youcan read more about it on the newspaper’sfree website under the News24 domain.People’s Post journalist and bulletin pre-
senter Samantha Lee says the additionalchallenge has been an exciting venture thusfar.
“It is no secret that news and the mediaare moving into a digital space. This venturehelps us satisfy the news needs of those onthe move and assists our journalists in tell-ing the inspiring stories of others that maynot have made it into the readers’ relevanteditions. The response thus far is an indica-tion that this truly is a step in the right direc-tion for our publications.”
Find People’s Post on Facebook and lookout for “This Week in ...” on a Tuesday after-noon at 17:00.
Samantha Lee presents “This Week in ...”, which can befound weekly on People’s Post’s Facebook page.

Nurturing younghockey talentSA hockey player Quanita Bobbs (22) has
joined the Stellenbosch leg of the nation-wide initiative, the Investec Hockey Acade-my, which teaches school girls about the im-portance of playing sport while simultane-ously aiming to raise the national standardof hockey in the country.
Bobbs, along with a number of SA playersand coaches, will be using their expertiseto provide young players in the WesternCape with mentorship and high perform-ance coaching on Friday 8 and Saturday 9July at Bloemhof Hoër Meisieskool in Stel-lenbosch.
She is looking forward to getting involvedwith the Investec Hockey Academy’s cours-es at Bloemhof Hoër Meisieskool and is pas-sionate about the initiative.
“My teammate and the general managerof the academy, Shelley Russell, told meabout the academy and its goals, and I havebeen a keen follower ever since. When Ilearned about the Stellenbosch courses, Iknew that I wanted to be a part of helpingidentify and nurture the talent that we havein the Western Cape,” says Bobbs.
The former Wynberg Girls’ High studentacknowledges that it is not easy to find theright opportunities to get trained and no-ticed. She believes that when initiativeslike the Investec Hockey Academy arrive,players and coaches should make the mostof the experience.
“The academy offers the full hockey expe-rience; it provides the opportunity for theacademy-goers to expand their hockey abil-ity. But it also gives them the necessary in-formation to make them a complete playerand coach,” says Bobbs.
The Strandfontein local is an all-roundsportswoman, having played softball andparticipating in athletics and ballet at
school.Bobbs attributes her love for sport to her
upbringing.“My whole family is sport inclined, which
allowed me to have a natural love for sportsince I was little. My brother, Shaheem,played professional soccer and representedSouth Africa in the national under-23 team,my mother played netball and my father isalso involved in hockey,” says Bobbs.
Bobbs believes that it is important forchildren to play sport from a young age.
“Sport is good for a child’s overall devel-opment; not only keeping them healthy, butalso teaching key life skills such as team-work, self-discipline, goal setting and howto deal with disappointment or setbacks,”she says.
Bobbs has some advice for young hockeyplayers aspiring to be professionals.
“Find what motivates you, find your why,and let that motivation constantly drive youto success. It is also important to establisha routine and stay humble,” says a passion-ate Bobbs.
The Stellenbosch BCom student’s mottooutlines her attitude towards life and oppor-tunities. “Make it happen, don’t let it hap-pen,” says Bobbs.
The star-studded, passionate line-up ofcoaches participating with Bobbs in Julyare national players Wade Paton, LloydNorris-Jones and Shelley Russell. Along-side them will be national coaches Kurt Ser-fontein (SA women’s assistant coach) andLindsey Wright, SA u.21 women’s coach.V The Investec Hockey Academy’s next course willtake place on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 July at Bloemhof Hoër Meisieskool in Stellenbosch. For more information or to book, contact Bernadine on031 940 5565 or visit www.investechockeyacademy.com

It was an evening of jubilation at Steurhof inDiep River last week as 45 residents receivedtheir title deeds.
The title deeds were officially handed overon Thursday 2 June by mayor Patricia de Lil-le at the South Peninsula High School.
De Lille said she was there to deliver on apromise made years ago. “On 19 December2012 I handed over letters of commitment forthe transfer of council rental units in Steur-hof. We signed agreements of sale with resi-dents who were beneficiaries that succeededin a land claim with the Regional LandClaims Commission.”
De Lille said during apartheid, the GroupAreas Act led to unjust eviction of thesehome owners. “In a situation where manycould have lost hope after decades ofwaiting, none of them stopped fight-ing. You have still been forced to livein the legacy of our very sad and darkpast, but tonight we come together be-cause the fight is finally over,” shesaid.
De Lille was quick to admit that itwas an incredibly long and challeng-ing process for the City, but they keptgoing because they saw it as a chanceto right some of the wrongs of the past.
“Building an inclusive city is one ofthe most important things that wehave set out to do. Fundamental to thisprocess is a commitment to redressand reconciliation. We need to do ev-erything that we can to give all the peo-ple of Cape Town a sense of belonging.We can only all move forward whenthose who have previously been ex-cluded are given a hand up to lift them-selves out of the injustices of the past.”
In 2012 the City identified 25 000 titledeeds for transfer. More than half ofthe historic title deeds which wereidentified have been completed, De Lil-le says.
“We have committed significant time andresources to this project because ownershipis key to addressing the economic exclusionstill faced by too many people in our country.When people become property owners, theycan unlock other economic opportunities.Your credit worthiness increases. You standto benefit from the return on investment onan appreciating asset – not only for the im-provement of your own lives, but also thatof your children. You can now have willswhich help build the future of your childrenand perhaps even their children,” she says.
“Thank you for not giving up the fight.Thank you for not giving up on us. Thank youfor your patience. I want to wish you well onthe beginning of a new chapter in your lives.”
‘Fight is finally over’
Marlene Coezett, a Steurhof resident, was one of the45 people that received their title deeds that werehanded over by Patricia De Lille, the mayor of CapeTown.

When it comes to catching some big bandbeats Darryl Andrews is the man to call.
On Friday 24 June the Wittebome CivicCentre will be rocking as he hosts anotherNostalgia Nite at the Civic but there’s moreto this musician than meets the eye – or isit ear?
The talented guitarist, bassist, composerand arranger may be known to generationsof music lovers for his work with groupslike Missing Link, Mahogany, and MJ9 inhis early years since 1994 he has been an in-tegral part of producing the next generationof musical talents.
Currently teaching jazz studies at the Col-lege of Music at UCT the Plumstead residentexplains that he knew music would be a partof his life since he was very young.
“I was seven when he bought my olderbrother a guitar and I cried that I also want-ed one. Thank goodness that my tearsworked because I loved playing as my dadtaught us and we started playing anythingwe heard on radio.”
Darryl explains that with no formal mu-sic education he started teaching himselfbecause he knew that he wanted to take hiscareer seriously. “While I was part of Ma-hogany we used to rehearse all day but dur-ing the breaks I would be sitting with mybooks and that is how my knowledge grew.This eventually led to me being part of the
band for the production ofGuys and Dolls where An-drew Lilley was on key-boards. He was at UCT atthe time but had to leavefor further studies and herecommended me to takeup his teaching post.”
When it comes to host-ing the nostalgic nightsconcerts he points out thatit is not just about sittingdown and enjoying thesounds. “We are cateringto the needs of a genera-tion who used to go outand enjoy this kind of “jol”in their youth – and theystill love those sounds.And, it’s also about friend-ships that were formedduring those days and stillstand today. The ’70s and’80s was an exciting timefor entertainment on theCape Flats and people stillwant to enjoy that feeling - it keeps them andus young,” he laughs.
For the session on Friday 24 June Darrylhas put together some top class players forhis “little” big band who will be entertain-ing the punters.
These include Bruce Muirhead whoshares the guitar seat with Darryl, AndrewFord on keyboards, Shaun Johannes on
bass, Frank Paco on drums and John Has-san on percussion. There’s also a brass sec-tion with Vaughn Fransch and DaveThompson on trumpets, Murray Buitendagon trombone, with Justin Bellairs, Zeke LeGrange and Georgia Jones on saxophone.V Tickets for Nostalgia Nite at the Civic are R180. Infoand bookings from Margo on 083 526 9763 or [email protected].

Constantia Valley Watch Association(CVWA) received another car to be used
in patrolling the area.The handover of the second community
business sponsoredLawEnforcementVehi-cle was held at Toyota Market in Tokai onTuesday 7 June.The first car was handed over last year
in November.Mike Voortman, chairman of CVWA,
says this was an agreement with the Cityof CapeTownofCapeTown to donate a vehi-cle tohelpwith lawenforcement in the area.The car was bought and paid for by
CVWA, through contributions from localbusinesses. The second vehicle was specifi-cally sponsored by Macrolan. “It will bedriven and used by local residents who arequalifiedLawEnforcement Specials (volun-teers). They all underwent a six week in-tense training so that they will be able to
carry out their duties. The volunteers arecommunity members of the Valley whohave normal jobs during the day and atnight go out in full force to enforce the lawand make community safer,” adds Voort-mam.Attending the handover was JP Smith,
Maycomember for safety and security, whosaid the cars are an enormous aid. “Foot pa-trollers don’t usually work because of longdark roads. This carwill help a lot. The Citydoesn’t have adequate vehicles to cover allthe ground andwith such initiatives we arereally happy and we know areas are keptsafer.Wayne Montgomery, a volunteer, says:
“This will go a long way in making us morevisible. It will bemuch easier tomake crim-inals know that we are in the area. We willbe able to issue fines and make arrests. Wehad to be trained for this and we will gladlydo ourwork to assist theCity and the police.I know this will make a lot of people sleepbetter knowing we are on the road.”

New centre forfurry friendsCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA (CoGHSPCA) launched their newly construct-
ed state-of-the-art facility on Thursday lastweek.Patrons, animal guardians and sponsors
were given a preview of the new facility, theconcept of which was introduced duringlast year.Excited furry friends greeted visitors and
animal lovers on Thursday as they wel-comed them to their comfortable newcondi-tions.The premises in Grassy Park now hosts
the largest adoption kennel of its kind inSouth Africa – with bells and whistles.Longstandinganimal guardianGayleSly-
per sharedherpersonal experiencewith theSPCA.“I am very excited about this shelter. I en-
courage people to become involved by do-nating to our animal shelters. Our four-leg-ged friends need the help,” she says.CoGH SPCA CEO Allan Perrins says:
“With ever more animals requiring a safehaven from abuse and abandonment, theCoGH SPCA forged ahead with the con-structionmid-2015. Thedecision to invest ina redevelopment was seen as a vital movein securing the future sustainability of theorganisation as a whole.”He says the older buildings were over 20
years old and as such various structuralproblems were beginning to negatively af-fect the “overall efficacy of the facility andin order to best serve the animals an over-haul was necessary”.Build-A-WayBuildersworked in conjunc-
tion with Rennie Scurr Adendorff Archi-
tects to bring the vision of a 21st centurykennel into reality.Adendorff says the facility integrates
modern, state-of-the-art animal care habi-tats and support systems with a design thatmirrors the desired operational flow of peo-ple and animals into and out of the facility.The facility hosts quarantine, pre-adop-
tion and adoption pods which can accom-modate 300 individual animals.Before, due to space constraints, the
CoGH SPCA hosted up to three small dogsin one kennel.“We are able to reduce the risk of kennel
stress by giving each animal in our care aspace to call their own while still encourag-ing a degree of controlled socialisation. Thedogs and cats will now also be enjoying un-derfloor heating and improved biosecuritywhich will help us control the spread ofdeadly diseases,” says Belinda Abraham, astaffer at the SPCA.The furry friends also have dog beds
which are raised above floor level so thatthey do not sleep on the cold cement.Possible adoption families will also be
given the opportunity to go through anadoption process where they are taken pri-vately into an adoption room, where an as-sessment is done, to ensure that familiesadopt a pet that is best suited for theirhome.Possible fur parents also have the option
to familiarise themselves with a candidatepet in a viewing room instead of visiting thekennels, which could become overwhelm-ing.Each dog is also provided with a comfort-
able and hygienic dog beds thanks to Coola-roo Pet Beds.V To enquire about adoptions please call Kim on021 700 4152 or email adoptions@spcact.co.za
Cliff Smit (a voluntary dog walker and carer) and Cape of Good Hope SPCA CEO Alan Perrinsofficially cut the ribbon, opening the doors to the new animal care facility.

Make a typo andthe errorists winWorking in thenewspaper industry is anun-forgiving career choice. Any mistake youmight make, down to a typo caused by yourslow ring finger, is there for all to see.The embarrassment of having your mis-
take as front page news is one of the reasonsjournalists check facts and dates and see ev-ery story triple checked. But we are still hu-man and prone to errors.Worse still is that newsrooms around the
world are shrinking. Fewer people arewear-ing more than one hat under demandingdeadlines. Gone are the days that the jour-nalist were only responsible for getting andfiling their story, because the photographer,pageplanner, layout artist andvarious copy-editors would see to the rest.At People’s Post, our journalists, on aver-
age, work on two editions, covering dozensof suburbs. They’re responsible to fill theseeditions with both articles and photos, fromback to front, every week while attendingmeetings and events late at night and overweekends. And then there are the two tothree hour long (sometimes half a day) coun-cil meetings that take place at least once amonth.Most of these stories are gathered and
written over three or four days for a weeklydeadline. Some journalists also have extraproduction duties – page planning, subbingand layout – added to their workload ondeadline days. As anyone who works in thatkind of high-pressured industry will under-stand: it’s no easy feat.And they still do their workwith integrity
and honesty, with a smile on their faces anda kind word for any reader theymight meet.In each story, we have to guard against a
range of ethical principles, ensuring fair-ness to both parties, and objectivity. Withthe amount of misinformation we sift
through, there are much worse errors wecould make than a spelling or grammar er-ror.To prevent those nasty little spelling and
grammar gremlins, our editor and subeditorcheck anything between 120 and 160 pagesin our 10 zoned editions – in a day and a half.To fill just a quarter of a page is between 350and 500 words. You can do the maths to un-derstand the sheermagnitude of their work.If you were to look at our error rate (we’d
confidently put it at less than 1%), we’re do-ing better than the airline industry.And often after triple checking every arti-
cle, as was the case last week, an error slipsthrough and is spotted only after it has beensent to theprinter (“Librarypeddles forpow-er”, People’s Post False Bay, 7 June).And when it comes to the cost of calling
back a page to fix that error – unless it’s afactual error that will land us in hot waterwith the ombudsman or in court – we’d rath-er swallow our pride and take the flack fromour loyal errorists.We might sound superhuman, but we’re
really not. That’s why we appreciate everyreader that alerts us to these errors.But telling a journalist they aren’t quali-
fied, or shouldn’t have their jobs over a spell-ing or grammar error, is uncalled for.We’ve put our hearts into giving you the
best work we can. So when you notice we’veslipped up, be kind to us – we’re doing thebest we can to bring you the best qualitynews.V Peddle vs Pedal: “Pedal always relates to bicycles,pianos, organs, boats, looms, sewing machines, andother machines. The pedals are the footoperatedcomponents. The word also functions as a verb meaning to operate pedals. Peddle is a verb meaning tosell or to travel about selling goods. It often refers tothe sale of illicit goods.” – Grammarist.com

Give addicts afair chanceSeeing that it’s Youth Month I havetaken it upon myself to share with youa problem that our youth faces today –the problem of drug addiction.Not only does the addiction seem to
be the main problem but these addictsfind it extremely hard to find workonce they have decided to turn theirlives around.I know exactly what I am talking
about, because for me finding workwas a huge problem because of mycriminal record.Most companies state that you
should be criminal and credit clear. Sohow are the recovering addictssupposed to then become “normal”members of society if they cannot findwork? This further irritates the issuebecause it leaves room for depressionand feelings of unworthiness.I feel that companies should em-
brace these individuals for making thechoice to turn their lives around, ittakes character and determination –something that any and every employ-er should want in an employee.So to all the employers out there,
most addicts are very skilled, perfec-tionists and extremely loyal. Do whatneeds to be done, test them regularlyfor drugs and even watch them closelybut do not cast their CV’s aside.If they can show amazing character
so can you.EMILE NAIKER

Ten suspected robbers were arrested inHoutBay lastweek followingahouse rob-
bery in Constantia on Monday 6 June.Captain Angie Latchman, Wynberg clus-
ter spokesperson, says a couple were rudelyawakened by three men inside their bed-room at their home in Rathfelder Avenuelast Monday evening.
“Seeing the suspects the complainantstarted to scream which then resulted inhim being assaulted by the suspects. Thesuspects then ransacked the house and tookdifferent items before fleeing from the scenein an unknown direction.”The suspects fled off the scene with an iP-
hone S6, two laptops, an iPad, two watches,jewellery, sunglasses and shopping bagsfilled with miscellaneous items.Detectives with the assistance of Constan-
tia Watch worked throughout the night andfinally made a breakthrough in the earlyhours of the next morning at about 04:30.
“When following up on information re-ceived, they swooped upon informal dwell-ings in themountainarea inHoutBaywherethey arrested 10 people.
“After intensive interviews with the ar-
rested people, detectives managed to posi-tively link two of the arrested suspects to thehouse robbery in Rathfelder Avenue,” ex-plains Latchman.“Further investigation established one of
the arrested suspects on the Rathfelder Ave-nue house robberywas currently out on ear-ly parole on a murder case. Police have re-covered a portion of the stolen items in thevicinity of the Greenbelt. One suspect is stillat large,” adds Latchman.Out of the other eight people arrested, one
suspect was wanted on an outstanding war-rant. The remaining seven people were pro-filed and released. The arrested suspectsmade a court appearance atWynbergMagis-trate’s Court on Friday on charges of houserobbery.The Wynberg cluster commander, Briga-
dier Aaron Mlenga, says the determinationand commitment shown by the detectivesis highly commendable. Mlenga also thanksthe Constantia Watch for their continuedsupport in the fight against crime. “The vi-sion of creating a safe and secure environ-ment for the community we serve, is a taskthat cannot be accomplished by the SouthAfrican Police Service on its own, it needstheassistanceand support of the communityin the delivery of this vision.”

On-track action at karting champsWildcards, multiple winners and a
large dose of intrigue highlighted abrilliant Cape kart meeting.
Anyonewhohad the pleasure to attend thefourth round of the Western Cape KartingChampionship atKillarney onSaturdaywillagree that it was a great day’s racing featur-ing wildcard winners, upsets and brillianton-track action all day long, theWPMCKartClub says in a press release.It would be a trick to pick the race of the
day, but the often pedestrianMax Challenge125s certainly stood out among a day of high-lights. Championship leader Dino Stermin(Designer TrimsRKTKosmic) andDinoDel-ano Fowler (SuprocomWOrr FA) arrived atthe circuit to find a pair of ominous wild-cards entered in their class. The CRG duowere reigningWP class champion JonathanAberdein back in the country on holidayfrom his German ADAC Formula 4 cam-paign andUmpie Swart, taking a break fromPolo Cup action this weekend.It proved a head to head of extreme enter-
tainment as Swart and Aberdein stole thefirst heat from Stermin with Fowler in closeattendance, before Stermin struck back totake a stunning race 2 from Fowler and Ab-erdein. But Aberdein made no mistakes tolead the final from flag to flag from Stermin,Swart and Fowler. Stermin however didbrilliantly to win the day from Aberdein,Swart, Fowler, Nicholas Jacobs and MarcoJoos, with just two points separating the topthree.The high school Rotax JuniorMax 125s al-
so delivered an epic battle that ragedthroughout the day, but it was SebastianBoyd who came out tops aboard his BoydFreight Kosmic with two wins to one overchampionship leader Jason Coetzee (RKTKosmic) and Dario Busi, who fought hard toput his Automan Birel third in a supremelycompetitive class. Aidan Strydom (Turbo-
TechCRG)drovea clever trio of races to edgeout the injured Andrew Rackstraw (Tony),and unlucky Daniel Duminy (Kosmic), whofell victim to some hectic midfield action.The ever-spectacular 60cc primary school
CapeMaxterinosdelivered threewinners onthe day, but race 2 victor Charl Visser (Bat-tery Energy Zanardi) was the most consist-ent to take overall honours from race 1 win-ner Joseph Oelz (Zanardi), Jason MacBeath(Zanardi), Kai van Zijl (CRG) and Zanardiduo Kyle Visser and Nicholas Sage, whileTroy Dolinschek (Makita Kosmic) took therace 3 win.
Paul Malcolm (Charl Electric) continuedhis winning ways to take overall honours inthe smallest u.8 Cadet class, although he hada problem in race 1 to allow Joaquin de Oliv-eira to take the first racewin. ReeseKoorzenended up second overall in another busy aft-ernoon from Joshua Smit, Reza Levy (Jive),de Oliveira (whose day went backwards aft-er that first win) and Mishca Williams whobattled a down on power engine.It was a far more straightforward affair in
the DD2 gearbox class, where former WPchampion Jonathan Thomas (PartnersCRG) cantered to a trio of victories ahead of
a three-way three-race tussle settled in fa-vour of Tristan de Nobrega (Race Driver SACRG), who beat CRG quartet Hilton Peters,Delano Fowler, Jonathan Aberdein andChad Daniel to second. Kian van der Merwebeat Isabelle Fowler two races to one to takeClubman honours ahead of Class B winnerJody van Rensburg.The Cape’s top karters now head to iDube
this weekend for the third round of the SANational Karting Championship and thenthe National Final in Vereeniging a monthlater, before returning to commence the sec-ond half of theWP championship on 30 July.

Stanturf ready for tournament after 16 yearsEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
Stanturf Football Club, formed 25 yearsago in the heart of the Rocklands, previous-ly known as Turf United and Stanton FC,is looking forward to this year’s Kenparku.23 tournament, which takes place thisweekend.
A total of 24 teams from across the city,including defending champions GlendeneUnited, will take to Kenpark United’s fieldsin Mitchell’s Plain to showcase their risingtalent.
According to Stanturf’s u.23 coach,Jeanne Valentyn, his charges are excitedat the prospect of rubbing shoulders withsome of the city’s more renowned clubs,after qualifying for this year’s tournamentafter a 16-year absence.
Valentyn attributes the barren period toa number of factors, which ended in theirclub losing the bulk of their youth playersover the years.
“With many ups and downs in the clubas well as the community, we still had thegame of football at heart. As a former jun-ior player (myself), it was then a joy to playand as time went past our community, (oth-ers) became invested with gangsters andthe use of drugs increased, especially with-in the youth. We ended up losing playersas well as a loss of interest in the game.Keeping the youth motivated and interest-ed in the game was hard and as an amateurclub, finding attacking players was diffi-cult,” he states.
He says that the only other way to luretalent back to the club was to enter in well-known tournaments which may provide agateway onto a bigger platform, where aplayer may have the opportunity of plying
their trade professionally. “The playersare excited, preparing to showcase theirtalent and hopefully impress to possiblyfulfil their dreams and make it in this in-dustry.
“We recently partnered up with a local
Mitchell’s Plain business that has now as-sisted us with a sponsor, so that we can alsolook the part.”
The team held a kit launch with theirsponsor on Thursday 9 June, whichbrought a renewed spark to the squad
ahead of the tournament proper this week-end.
“Just to see the faces of our boys, excitedto receive a small gift, this could not havebeen possible if we did not engage in thisventure.”
Stanturf recently held a kit launch for their u.23 team. The team will be competing with 23 other teams from across Cape Town in theKenpark u.23 tournament this weekend.
