‘My life will never be the same’TERESA FISCHER

A FATHER from Marina da Gama claimshis lifewillneverbe the sameafterhewasallegedly hit over the head with a spadefor asking his neighbour to turn down hismusic.

The man also claims that two southernsuburbs hospitals with 24-hour trauma units– Constantiaberg and Vincent Pallotti – wereallegedly unable to assist him.

The couple – Joan and Michael Shepherd– has medical aid. His wife says the reasonshe was given was that the trauma unitsclosed at 23:00.

The assault took place last September, butJoan has struggled to cope with the impactof the alleged attack and the ongoing courtcase.

Joan says at 3:00 one day in September,the noise coming from a house oppositetheirs was “absolutely terrible”. Her hus-band Michael (56) went next door and wordswere exchanged, but then the man allegedlyran to fetch a spade.

She claims he shouted obscenities andyelled “I’m going to kill you”, before bringingthe spade down hard on Michael’s head. Shewas behind the gate.

“My husband was lying half in the street,bleeding all over the vibracrete,” says Joan,adding the neighbour allegedly shouted toher to come out because he wanted to kill hertoo.

Police vans arrived on the scene withinfive minutes, but she says a Metro ambu-lance took over an hour to arrive. Michaelwas unconscious and vomiting blood.

However, at the time of going to print, Met-ro EMS spokesperson Keri Davids could findno record of a Metro ambulance attending thecall.

Joan claims the ambulance was firstturned away from Constantiaberg Clinic. Theparamedics then phoned Vincent Pallotti, butwere told they could not take him there ei-ther. She decided to go to Groote Schuur Hos-pital, only to find there were “hundreds ofpeople” waiting.

While undergoing surgery at 18:00 the nextday, Michael had a stroke, leaving him withshooting pains in his leg and no feeling in histoes.Hewas ina coma for fivedays, but subse-quently made a good recovery at the rehabili-tation clinic. However, she says the injury tothe front of his head has changed his wholepersonality.

Sitting in the couple’s lounge, surrounded

by family photographs of happier times, Joanexplains that her husband suffers short-termmemory loss and slow reactions. At first hewas very aggressive, but has since been pre-scribed medication to counter this.

At night he doesn't sleep properly and willsometimes decide to have a shower in themiddle of the night.

When Michael goes outside for a cigarette,Joan says he hasn’t smoked in seven yearsbut now almost chain smokes.

“We have been married for 22 years; it isterrible for me to see him like this. I used tolove going to sit with him at the beach whilehe was fishing.

“We tried once but he fell in the water.Nothing interests him anymore,” she adds.The couple no longer climbs the mountain or

goes swimming.“I am under so much stress, it’s unbelieva-

ble; every day is hell,” she sighs.“I used to depend on him, now he depends

on me.”Before the attack, Michael worked as a

clerk at Red Cross Childrens’ Hospital.He has had to undergo occupational thera-

py to learn to read and write again, but he willnever work again.

He says: “I am ‘bot’ – closed.”“Before this I was happy-go-lucky, I used to

love life, I did lots of things, I could keep my-self occupied, now I can’t. I don’t have the in-terest. If I start something I can’t finish it. It’stoo much hard work.”

•Since Peoples Post first spoke to the couple,a court date has been set for the Wynberg Re-

gional Court. The accused faces a charge ofattempted murder.

Michael was spending three weeks at Ke-nilworth Clinic, where Joan hopes he will re-ceive help regaining his interest in life.

Vincent Pallotti Hospital’s regional mar-keting manager, Susan Scholtz, says the hos-pital would have accepted the patient, butwere unable to, due to the medical imagingequipment being unavailable, which she sayswould have delayed care.

She says the unit is open 24 hours.Constantiaberg Mediclinic client services

manager Faye Kariem says they operate a 24-hour emergency unit.

Kariem adds that on occasion patients arediverted for medical reasons, but they haveno record of the patient.

FISH HOEK PRIMARY

SCHOOLSpeed horses eat jelly blindfoldedTHE Goodsport Trust is a non-profit organi-sation that provides physical educationtraining and sports coaching to children inlocal schools as part of a pilot project. Thereare currently seven schools from the SouthPeninsula in the pilot project.

Coach training is held at weekly meetings,with an additional one week course held dur-ing each school holiday. Included in theirtraining this week, the coaches were in-volved in a team-building event.

With a lot of the coaches from local com-munities, few had been a part of a team-building exercise before, and they wereslightly anxious about what was expected ofthem.

The 21 coaches were randomly allocated togroups, who then had to create a name fortheir team utilising the letters from TheGoodsport Trust. They were very creativewith names such as “Speed Horses” and “Su-per Heroes”.

Once they had designed their team badge,they were given their first clue. The eventthen continued in the format of the TV pro-gramme, The Amazing Race. Events includ-ed throwing a bean bag through a netballhoop, identifying songs and feeding a teammember jelly while blindfolded.

One of the highlights was definitely thegood deed that some of the teams did for the

residents at Nerina Gardens Retirement Vil-lage – the coaches were given props and toldto perform a song, dance, mime or play fornot less than five minutes. This put many ofthe coaches outside their comfort zone, butthey stuck together and were very creative.The residents were intrigued about whatGoodsport does, and asked one group ofcoaches to give them a demonstration ofwhat they teach to the children during physi-

cal education at the schools.The team did not hesitate and gave a fasci-

nating display, which was followed by loudapplause. The event boosted morale, identi-fied strengths and helped with problem solv-ing.

To see who helped to sponsor this event,and for banking details for donations, pleasesee Goodsport’s website, www.good-sport.org.za

My mother, my heroDear reader,

I dedicate this column to my mother whohas been living with breast cancer for morethan two years.

I’ll never forget the day my mom’s doctor di-agnosed her cancer and her response after cry-ing. She said: “I will have to live with this”,unlike most people who express fear of dyingat such news.

With these words, my mother had inadvert-ently created a message of hope for herself. Re-markably, she has kept this hope alive, with-out invasive treatments which our family ini-tially insisted on and retaliated angrily towhen she persistently refused to even consid-er the best known conventional treatmentavailable.

Ultimately though, we had to respect mymother’s right to live her life and manage herillness as she chooses.

Faced with the headstrong, determined ma-triarch that is my mother, our family fullysupported her decision and tried everythingwe could to strengthen her immune systemand give her a fighting chance. Among themany things we have tried are apricot kernels,vitamins, bitter herbs, olive leaf honey, mas-sage, oils, holy water, prayer, dark chocolateand green juice.

These have brought some relief, but I amconstantly amazed at how my mother liveswith her pain. She seldom takes painkillers

and even now, after a few teaspoons of mor-phine, she has lowered her dose. Throughouther illness, my mother has remained her usu-al talkative, authoritative,smart, wickedly funny self. De-spite becoming very frail andthin, she has retained her abilityto walk and sit while eating hermeals, and have a puff or two.Who’s counting?

A woman of remarkable faith,willpower and resilience, mymother is an inspiration to hersix children and many whoknow her.

My father would differ some-what, as it has become his desti-ny to take care of this strong, wil-ful woman and their three catsand two birds. His best culinaryefforts are often criticised by her and feedbackto visitors is that he does not provide her withthe balanced diet she requires. My siblingsand I take this with a ton of salt as we knowhow much effort my father puts into my moth-er’s meals; in fact, everything he does for her.

To keep the peace, we humour my motherin her diatribe against my father, and then tellhim in private we know the truth. If my moth-er were to read this, I’d be in trouble.

In the past few months, my mother’s healthhas deteriorated rapidly and physically shehas become a shell of her former self, but her

mind is as astute as ever and I still turn to herfor guidance on matters finance, career andpersonal.

I do my best to visit herthroughout the week, but Sun-days are our days when we talk,feel sad, reminisce and laugh atour silly comments, especiallymy mom’s gossip about my dad.

What I love most about my in-teraction with my mother is herbrilliant sense of humour andability to appreciate a good joke–notmine though, as I’mnotori-ously unfunny.

I cannot believe when lookingat my mother’s beautiful smil-ing face that she is riddled withpain; it is only when I focus onhow thin and fragile her wrists

and limbs are, that the reality of her illnesssinks in.

My mother’s journey has been painful, trau-matic and terrifying and I am humbled by herstrength and grace. She will always be my her-oine and I thank God for every moment I stillhave with her.

Community throws weight behind concertTERESA FISCHER

REHEARSALS are underway forthis year’s Valley Christian Church(VCC) concert. And it promises to beanother smash hit.

People’s Post believes there is even apossibility of the principal of FishHoek High School, Gavin Fish, makinga daring appearance in a tutu. This fol-lows his breakdancing debut in the re-cent Fish Hoek High School varietyconcert.

The church, in partnership with FishHoek Primary School and the SarahCookney Academy of Dance, donatesall proceeds to The Sunflower Fund –which matches potential bone marrowdonors with cancer patients. Last yearthey raised R91 330, the single biggestdonation the fund has yet receivedfrom a community organisation.

This year’s concert is dedicated tothe memory of choir member NikkiBoyd, who recently died of cancer atage 36. “Even when she became ill, shecontinued to visit cancer patients inhospital. It was in her heart to help,”says her friend and VCC band director,Tania Webber. The band includesdrums, piano, a saxophone, keyboards,electric guitars and backing vocalists.

Pastor Mark Harris says: “We arevery excited about putting on a showthat saves lives. Our hearts are withcancer patients and their families whogo through incredible turmoil watch-ing someone they love, suffer.” Harrisadds one of the extra benefits is that thechurch band keeps improving as theirrange expands. “We don’t sing Queenin church,” he remarks.

Drummer and concert organiserJohno Holgate explains the show is a

community affair, produced with “literal-ly no budget”. Everyone is a volunteer.They approach businesses and individualsto help in any way they can. Top qualitysound and lighting add professional flairto the performance.

Fish Hoek Primary School’s talenteddrama students, who won the WaterfrontPerforming Arts Competition three yearsin a row, have a slot in the show. Dramateacher Gail Beagley says the 150 pupilswho take drama as an extra-mural activityare very spontaneous and energetic.

Head of music Fanie Zondagh adds thechildren really enjoy what they do, whichis why every Friday afternoon they turnup for drama.

The concert will be held at Fish HoekHigh School. Fish says because the schoolis at the heart of the community, it shouldbe involved in the broader community.“Everyone should have a ‘pay it forward’mentality,” he says, adding, “This is notfor the geeky kids alone, but for everyonewho has benefited from the incredible op-portunities the school and community hasoffered them.” Tickets are available fromFish Hoek High School, Fish Hoek Prima-ry School (between 8:00 and 9:00), Milk-wood Pre-primary School, the PaddlingCentre and AP Jones. Call Johno Holgateon 083 399 9443.

programme,” says Ingpen.The Lawhill Maritime Centre is entirely

funded by the shipping industry and Safma-rine, a pioneer of the Maritime Studies pro-gramme, has been one of its most loyal sup-porters.

Safmarine CEO Grant Daly says: “The suc-cess of the Lawhill programme is yet anotherexample of Safmarine’s “sustainable part-nership” approach – an approach we don’tonly apply to our business and our relation-ships with customers, but also to our deal-ings with local communities around theworld.”

Safmarine – a shipping brand which origi-nated in South Africa and which is now in130 countries – is a former winner of a Seat-rade award.

In 1995 Safmarine won a Seatrade awardfor its innovative “Containers in the Com-munity” programme, a CSI programmewhich celebrates its 20th anniversary in Ju-ly.

The winners of the 2012 Seatrade Invest-ment in People Award will be announced ata gala function in London’s Guildhall nextMonday.

A TOP South African maritime skillsprogramme has been shortlisted for aninternational award.

The educational programme, whichequips teenagers with maritime skills whilethey are still at school, has been shortlistedfor the 2012 Seatrade Investment in PeopleAward.

The Simon’s Town-based Lawhill Mari-time Studies programme, which was pio-neered in the mid-’90s, has consistently im-proved the employment prospects of hun-dreds of youngsters after leaving school.

It has also demonstrated the value and po-tential of partnerships between the privatesector and an educational institution in ad-dressing this country’s most pressing socialissues of youth unemployment and poverty.

According to 2011 statistics, provided byStatsSA, an estimated 42% of young SouthAfricans aged between 18 and 29 are current-ly unemployed.

Brian Ingpen, who heads the Lawhill Mar-itime Centre, says the high number of schoolleavers versus the limited number of availa-ble employment opportunities emphasisethe importance of establishing more innova-tive, industry-funded educational partner-ships and curricula which prepare youngpeople for employment here and abroad, butalso encourage entrepreneurial thinking.

Ingpen says the shortlisting for the awardis recognition that Lawhill is helping to ad-dress the skills shortage in the maritime in-dustry by creating opportunities for youngpeople, particularly those from disadvan-taged backgrounds, to pursue a career in agrowing and important industry.

“The shortlisting is also a special achieve-ment for the hundreds of students who havepassed through the programme since it wasfounded 17 years ago and for the organisa-tions who have, and continue to support the

Be goodWith Mother’s Day fast approaching, it maybe hard to reconcile this city’s statistics forwomen and child abuse.

Let the facts speak for themselves.A 2004 study by the Medical Research Coun-

cil found that four women each day are killedin acts of femicide by known perpetrators,particularly intimate partners. This means awoman is killed every six hours.

This number makes up half of the womenmurdered in SA. It is the highest rate yet re-ported in research worldwide, says the re-port.

The Women’s Hope Education and Train-ing (Wheat) Trust has found that one out ofevery four women in South Africa is in anabusive relationship. Every 25 seconds awoman or girl is raped in South Africa.

These statistics paint a devastating picturefor the safety of women and children in ourcountry.

Enter valiant attempts at redress throughorganisations such as the Saartjie BaartmanCentre for Abused Women and Children, inAthlone. This centre now faces closure.

Their coffers are bare. They need help –even if all you do is reach for the cheque book.

Abuse transcends barriers of culture, back-ground, income and religion.

This centre offers a lifeline to thousands ofwomen – not only on the Cape Flats, but toabused women and children all over. It offerscounselling and a safe haven through twophases. The first is short term, while phasetwo – which offers housing – is up to a year.

There is a dearth of such facilities in thiscity and the country. It would be a travestyfor the Saartjie Baartman Centre to have toshut its doors.

The iconic woman for whom the centre wasnamed suffered humiliating depravity.

It is said bad things happen when good peo-ple do nothing.

Come now Cape Town, be good people!

Poor serviceI agree not all shops give bad

service at the (Longbeach) Mall,but for many to complain aboutMr Price the most, you need totake another look.

Over the last two weekendsmy family and I shopped thereand the young lady who helpedus was more than helpful.

I have never had bad serviceand if ever I do, I will take it upwith management.

No one is perfect. Stop andthink; I’m sure some of you musthave had a bad day at work atleast once in your life. Mr Price,get name tags for your staff andevery time I shop with you, I willname my assistant. Simon’sTown resident.

Why not go shop at anothermall, moaners? Mall worker.

When will you moaners stopmoaning about everything un-der the sun? You have nothingbetter to do. Get on with life.Ocean View.

On a brighter note, it is not allthe shops in Longbeach Mallthat have terrible customer serv-ice. Like the pink jewellery shop,Woman Street, always invitesyou in with a friendly smile andexcellent customer services.Thank you ladies for alwaysmaking my day. Mrs O’Connor.

For me, the worst customerservice at Longbeach Mall is atClicks. Unfriendly and sullen.The pharmacy is a nightmare.

The restaurant staff at FishHoek beach need training too.

Padlock your bins against baboonsIF YOU live in a baboon raidingarea, the City requires you tohave a double lockable bin se-cured with two padlocks.

We can assure you that yourbin can be opened with the pad-locks in place. Waste removaltrucks have been converted toopen and empty the bin withthese padlocks in place. The keysto the padlocks are not requiredby City’s staff.

As residents, you are urged todo everything possible to reduceraids and discourage baboonsfrom visiting your area. The Cityneeds your support to create a ba-boon free residential area.Achieving this requires the co-operation of each and every resi-

dent in the community.Please also consider this. With

unsecured bins waste is strewnall over after baboon raids. TheWaste staff are obliged to clearthe mess and put it back in the binso the bin can be processed by thetruck.

This poses a real health hazardand it makes their job very un-pleasant. Your secured bin willmake all the difference.

So, how does it work?•Please place a strong padlock

on each latch on the bin;•The padlock should be placed

through the hole in the silvermetal latch;

•The padlocks must be locked.Keep the keys in a safe place

•Put the bin out on the side ofthe road or pavement but lie itdown on its side with the latchesnearest the ground.

•Recycling bags should beplaced next to the bin, not inside.

•For those of you who reside inWelcome Glen and Da GamaPark, the recycling truck willservice your areas between 07:00and 08:00 on refuse days (Wednes-day). Therefore, make sure yourrecycling is out before 07:00.

Help stop abuse against womenVIOLENCE against women is oneof the most pressing problems inSouth Africa. A scourge against so-ciety that affects the future of all.

Funds raised at this event willstrengthen women-led initiativesacross the country that work tire-lessly to bring hope, protection andknowledge to women and girls.

Catch early train, Granttells school childrenPUPILS using the train have toget up earlier to make it to schoolon time.

That’s the advice from educationminister Donald Grant.

Grant, together with Minister ofPublic Works and Transport, RobinCarlisle, last week made awhistlestop at the Golden Acre inthe City Bowl to determine the im-pact of train delays on pupils.

Many pupils using the trains cutthrough the Golden Acre to get toschool on time. Delays in trainschedules due to, among others, ca-ble theft and faulty signals, havelast week prevented pupils andworkers from getting to their desti-nation on time.

An education department clamp-down on late-coming at schoolshave proven a difficult task as a re-sult of late trains.

Grant says: “I have often receivedcomplaints from pupils that delayson Metrorail trains were the causeof them being late. While I am fullyaware that many of these learnerssimply do not wake up in time, onehas to feel sympathetic for thoselearners who did plan to get toschool on time, but were delayed be-

cause the train was late.”Grant says he roped in Carlisle to

see first-hand how late Metrorailtrains affected “one of their biggestclients, the pupils”.

Pupils told them trains were fre-quently late on rainy days, Thurs-days and Fridays.

“My message to learners is toplease take these delays into consid-eration when planning to travel toschool. Wake up a bit earlier onthese days to make provision for de-lays.

“While it is unacceptable thatthey can’t consistently rely on sucha service, this is the sad reality theyface. So, unfortunately, this couldmean getting up an hour earlier onthese days until Metrorail becomesmore organised and reliable.”

Carlisle says: “The prevailingconditions of Metrorail’s lack of ac-cess control and general security,shortage of trains and an outmodedsignalling system have made it in-evitable that the trains will not runon time.”

“I am hopeful that recent atten-tion on the perilous state of declinein train services has led to a re-newed commitment by Metrorail totackle the key issues.”

and they have transformed their lives bygetting healthy and fit through running.”

According to Meyer, Itheko is now thebiggest of the 85 running clubs affiliatedto Western Province Athletics.

The club’s name, Itheko, means a big oc-casion in Xhosa, and over the last twoyears it has become increasingly appro-priate due to the growth in size and theinception of the club’s own road race.

But Meyer says the club aims to makeany run a big occasion for each and everymember taking part.

“Most people come here and say ‘I can-not run’. But what we say is that if youcan walk you can run. All we do is teachyou the difference between walking andrunning.

“The type of person who will enjoy be-ing part of Itheko is a person that wantsto make a difference in their lifestyle interms of their health. We’ll show you howto enjoy the sport and then you’ll enjoy allof the healthy benefits that come with thesport.”

enough time to document the life-chang-ing experiences that people have.”

The club started its speedy growth insize immediately after Meyer took on hisfirst trainees and once people witnessedthe change that the men had gonethrough.

At first the newly-formed club met andtrained at Rondebosch Common, but oncetheir numbers soared to around 400 theywere forced to move to the Rhodes HighSchool in Mowbray.

But the club has once again outgrowntheir home and today they will move toanew location inWillowRoad,Observato-ry. Meyer says that while the amount ofmembers on Itheko’s books is impressive,what is more important is the fact thatmost were complete novices before theyjoined.

“I have been running for the last 35years but four years ago I realised thatthere is no actual running club that catersfor people who have never done sport intheir lives before.

“What is significant or phenomenalabout this running club is that 99 percentof people who are members of this run-ning club have never done sport before

IN the four short years since its forma-tion, Itheko Sports Athletic Club hasgrown into one of the largest runningclubs in Cape Town and one of the mostwell-known.

The club started when its founder andcurrent head coach, Farouk Meyer, decid-ed to personally train two heavily over-weight acquaintances in 2008. Since thenit has grown exponentially into the 1000-member running force that it is today.

However, despite this incrediblegrowth and the success of the club’s firstrace, the Jive Slave Route Challenge,which will be hosted for the second timeon Sunday 27 May, Lion of Africa Ithekohas stuck to its original focus of workingwith newcomers to the sport.

“The main reason (I started the club) isthe instances of ailments like cardio-vas-cular disease, obesity and high blood pres-sure that you see around you all the timewithin our community,” says Meyer.

“All it means is that people need to dosome formof exercise.Combinedwith eat-inghealthily, itwillmakeadifference.Mybiggest letdown is that I don’t have

ABRAVE and determined False Bayside felt the full force of the Uni-versity of Stellenbosch’s “Maroon

Machine” on Saturday evening when theyhosted Maties at Phillip Herbstein in Con-stantia.

The home team went into the match on theback of defeat against three of the toughestteams in the competition, Durbanville, Ham-iltons and Victorians.

They were hoping to turn the corneragainst another of the Super League A titlecontenders, but any chance of False Bay gain-ing early superiority on either the score-board or the field was erased as soon as theeighth minute, when Maties scored their firsttry after a period of sustained pressure.

Flyhalf Jarryd Buys missed the subsequentconversion, but he made no mistake with hissecond attempt in the 26th minute after hisside crossed the whitewash again.

False Bay managed to pull back threepoints in the second last minute of the half,after a penalty from Stefan Swanich, but thevisitors resumed dominance less than twominutes after play was restarted with anoth-er converted try.

The hosts staged a fight-back in the 49thminute by notching up their own 7-pointer,but the riposte did not last long and Matieswent on to add two more tries, a convertedtry in the 51stminute andanunconverted onein the 73rd. The 31-10 score line will have leftmany of the passionate home supporters be-mused as False Bay were never completelydominated during the match.

False Bay coach Chris Hewetson put the re-

sult down to his side failing to take their op-portunities.

“I think we were a lot better, and I supposeit’s a cliché, but we were a lot better than thescore actually suggested, like any coachwould probably say.

“But it was evident to anybody here that weactually left three tries a begging. We justnever executed.” Hewetson added that poorexecution of kicking tactics, which were de-cided on before the game, was also to blamefor the loss.

“We do serious analysis of our oppositionand we found it evident that Maties weren’tgood under the high ball. The unfortunatething with our kicks were that they didn’t gowhere we wanted them to go. But it was partof our strategy.” With four losses from theirfirst four games, the Constantia team’s sea-son has not gone as they would have desired,

but they will have their best chance at victorywhen they face Villager in their next gameat Brookside on Friday.

According to Hewetson, his team shouldnow have some respite after making itthrough the first four games with their prideintact.

“Wehaveplayedagainst the top four teams.UCT (the University of Cape Town) are a teamthat we know are battling at the moment be-cause we know they lost players due to all theStormers’ injuries and the Vodacom Cup(team),” said Hewetson.

“We know that we’ve played against thefour toughest teams already, so we know wegot that out of the way.” Despite the playerdrain Hewetson refers to, the Ikey Tigers willstill be a tough prospect for False Bay whenthe sides meet on Friday 18 April at GrooteSchuur.

CAPE TOWN will host the first everWorld University Netball Champion-ships (WUNC) at the Good Hope Centre inJuly this year.

The tournament is the biggest netballevent outside the world championships, andthe Mother City’s netball fans will have theopportunity to see some of the world’s bestplayers in action.

The tournamentwill beunder theauspicesof the International University Sports Feder-ation (FISU), the second biggest multi-codesports organisation after the InternationalOlympic Committee.

Helene Botha, FISU Netball chairperson,says that the tournament would benefit net-ball players and Cape Town’s community asa whole.

“Netball is the most popular woman’ssport in South Africa and the world, andhosting a tournament of this standard inSouth Africa will enable student players toexperience international netball in theirown backyard.

“Even those who are not playing will bene-fit from being involved in the organisationof the tournament. The tournament will also

provide the community of Cape Town andthe surrounding areas (with the opportuni-ty) to experience netball at a very high lev-el.” Young netball players will also be ableto benefit from coaching clinics to be held inand around Cape Town by coaches and play-ers from the 12 participating countries, aspart of USSA’s goal of developing sport atgrassroots level.

Botha encouraged schools and clubs fromall parts of Cape Town to watch the gamesbeing played and attend the coaching clinics.

The 12 teams taking part will be dividedinto three pools, with the top two teams ineach pool qualifying for the Elite Six.

The cross-pool matches and quarter-finalswill be played on one day, with the semifi-nals and final being played the next day.

The Good Hope Centre has been selectedas the venue because it can accommodatetwo wooden court floors next to each other.It also has all the facilities required by IFNAand FISU, and has ample seating for specta-tors. The WUNC will be preceded by the Uni-versity Sport South Africa’s (USSA) netballchampionships which will be hosted at Stel-lenbosch University from Thursday 28 Juneto Monday 2 July.

GREAT VENUEGREAT MENUGREAT VALUE

LILLIAN AMOS

TALL, confident and charismatic would best de-scribe swimming champ Achmat Hassiem, who issetting his sights on London 2012.

The 29-year-old, who lost his leg in a Great Whiteshark attack in 2006, is making waves by breakingrecords in the swimming pool.

In the international top three for the 200 meter butter-fly, Hassiem has now qualified for the London Paralym-pics later this year.

“From a young age, I dreamt of representing mycountry,” says Hassiem, from Strandfontein. “Seeingathletes on TV and how they travelled across the world,I wanted the opportunity to proudly wear green andgold.”

Six years ago, while taking part in a lifeguard train-ing session at Sunrise Beach in Muizenberg, a four-and-a-half meter Great White attacked him, severing hisright leg.

“I remember seeing his big fin, and the massive shad-ow in the water and it was heading straight for mybrother. I splashed in the water to get its attention,”says Hassiem.

“I tried to get on its back because there was nowhereelse to go, but while trying to do that, I realised my legwas in the shark’s mouth.”

The shark dragged Hassiem deeper into the water,but he wouldn’t give up the fight.

“Eventually I heard a snap, and I was free and mademy way to the surface.”

The attack left Hassiem with major damage to the legand he was immediately airlifted to ConstantiabergHospital.

He recalls waking up in hospital and realised his legwas amputated. “I didn’t want to believe it and Ithought all my hopes and dreams of playing sport wasover.”

Before the attack, Hassiem participated in manysports codes, including soccer, and swimming.

Now he swims in the S10 category and trains at theSports Science Institute in Newlands religiously every-day.

Looking at him now, it is evident he has learnt plentyfrom his experience. He shares his insights throughmotivational speaking, encouraging other people to fol-low their dreams.

His slogan is “Impossible is nothing, possible is me”.Hassiem has travelled worldwide, not only to com-

pete, but also as a speaker.Standing on the winner’s podium has become second

nature. One of his proud moments was competing inthe SA Nedbank National Disabled Championships lastmonth.

He got gold in all eight events, setting six new all-Afri-can records.

He is also current paralympic world champ for the200m butterfly.

Hassiem one day wants too compete in the able-bod-ied Olympics.

A message he always conveys in his talks is that peo-ple should realise their potential and always have a pos-itive attitude.
