We are not puppets and will not be fooled by this po- litical meeting,” angry Parkwood residents said outside the Parkwood Community Cen- tre last Tuesday evening. And while angry residents who had turned out for what they thought was a com- munity meeting, protested with a loudhailer and placards outside with burning ques- tions about service delivery in their commu- nity, members and supporters of the politi- cal party inside danced and celebrated to welcome the DA’s new local elections candi- date for Ward 66, William Akim. After being sneaked into the community hall via a back entrance, executive mayor Patricia de Lille called the protesting group outside “clowns” for attempting to disrupt proceedings. “Before we get to the serious business, let me just speak a bit about the clowns outside. The one clown comes from Hout Bay and is (his party’s) number 160 on the list as a candidate. I don’t know what he is doing, but that tik-kop, Roscoe Jacobs, is totally confused. The other one is an inde- pendent candidate, but he wants to come in here tonight to introduce me. There are 56 days left to the elections, hy moet vir homself gaan stemme soek (he must go find votes for himself),” De Lille said to a chuckling crowd. However, while a short video about ser- vice delivery was played minutes before in the community hall, screaming residents and backyard dwellers said they have not witnessed service delivery in true form in their area. One resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said she was livid because their concerns for safety are being ignored. “I live in Denise Court where floodlights were sup- posed to be installed five months ago al- ready. Up to today we have not seen any- thing materialise,” she said. The grandmother of five grandchildren said her family live in fear. “We are 13 people living in one house and every time you try and find out how far along the process of the housing waiting list is, we get no proper an- swers. I have been on the waiting list for 40 years already. They are not addressing the real and proper concerns of our community. That is why people are angry,” she said. According to the protesting group the po- litical nature of the meeting was a slap in the face and they would have welcomed a more inclusive gathering to address urgent community issues. “Either way this meeting is held, we want the mayor to face the people outside. They say they want to address our concerns but they are too afraid to come out and face us,” another resident remarked. Heavy police, security and law enforce- ment presence ensured protesting residents remained barred from the community cen- tre. #GangsterismMustFall convenor, Roscoe Jacobs, says De Lille “attempted to deflect and delegitimise the struggle and concerns of Parkwood residents”. “De Lille must stop seeking to blame oth- ers for her failures; she is attempting to de- flect. I don’t do drugs. I exercised my demo- cratic right to protest peacefully. The consti- tution allows freedom of movement so I can be anywhere anytime and don’t need her permission to do so. Her responses is proof that she cares more about votes than our lives on the Cape Flats,” Jacobs responded to the allegations. Residents say they are fed up of the empty promises made by the political parties when it comes closer to election time.

The Princess Vlei Forum is overthe moon after the City of Cape
Town finalised the Conceptual De-velopment Framework (CDF) forthe greater Princess Vlei Conser-vationArea, paving theway for theimplementation of significant im-provements to the vlei.Forum secretary Lorna Houston
says: “This is an important step inrealising the community’s visionfor a nature and heritage park atPrincess Vlei. This finalisationmeans the vlei can be upgraded assuggested by the community.”Topping their priority list is to
have a children’s playpark, awalk-way around the vlei, and improvedbraai and picnic areas, which areseen as very urgent by the commu-nity.The plan also allows for other
community suggestions, suchas el-ements to celebrate the Khoisanheritage of the site, features to fa-cilitate baptism, a craft or freshproduce market, and improvingthe environmental health of thewater and surrounding banks.“Our aim is to ensure that all of
these improvements will be rolledout over time. However, at thisstage the funds for capital invest-ment in the precinct are extremelylimited.“We would like to urge the City
to make funding available, and areourselves in the process of explor-ing alternative sources of fundingsuch as corporate sponsorship andprivate donors. Any suggestions
from community members on ral-lying resources would bemost wel-come.”The framework comes after two
years of negotiation with the City,after the plans to develop a mall atPrincess Vlei were scrapped inMarch 2014.At this time the PrincessVlei Fo-
rum presented the City with “Im-agine Princess Vlei” – a vision forPrincess Vlei that had been devel-oped with the community throughdiscussions, surveys, workshopsand other processes.“The past two years have been
spent in negotiating the plan forPrincess Vlei, and negotiating a
memorandum of agreement em-powering the forum to representcommunity interests in the devel-opment andmanagement of the ar-ea. This was finalised in Decemberlast year,” says Houston.In August last year the City re-
leased a draft concept developmentframework (CDF) based on the Im-agine Princess Vlei vision, as wellas input from other communityand City stakeholders, which setout principles to guide develop-ment at the vlei.The draft was presented to the
public for discussion at the City’sopenday, andat aworkshophostedby the Princess Vlei Forum where
community members and stake-holders discussed the plan and sug-gested improvements.City planners incorporated com-
munity feedback, and presentedthe finalised CDF to forum mem-bers for discussion in April.After further adjustments it was
tabled for comment at the subcoun-cil 20meeting inMay,where forummembers urged the subcouncil toincorporate Princess Vlei projectsin their ongoing budget discus-sions, and to support the overall de-velopment of the eastern shore forthe benefit of the community.Belinda Walker, mayoral com-
mitteemember for community ser-vices and special projects, says thefinalisation of the CDF is a stepwhich both the City of Cape Townand the Princess Vlei Forum wel-come.“The process leading to the de-
velopment of the CDF has allowedus to better understand key priori-ties that will help to restore Prin-cess Vlei into a safe and family-ori-ented recreational space. We trulyvalue the hard work undertakenby the Princess Vlei Forum andtheir continued dedication to thisproject,” says WalkerThe City is committed to work-
ing together with communities toplan the spaceswhich theywill useand treasure, both now and in thefuture, she says.“A collaborative approach se-

The Princess Vlei Forum is overthe moon after the City of Cape
Town finalised the Conceptual De-velopment Framework (CDF) forthe greater Princess Vlei Conser-vationArea, paving theway for theimplementation of significant im-provements to the vlei.Forum secretary Lorna Houston
says: “This is an important step inrealising the community’s visionfor a nature and heritage park atPrincess Vlei. This finalisationmeans the vlei can be upgraded assuggested by the community.”Topping their priority list is to
have a children’s playpark, awalk-way around the vlei, and improvedbraai and picnic areas, which areseen as very urgent by the commu-nity.The plan also allows for other
community suggestions, suchas el-ements to celebrate the Khoisanheritage of the site, features to fa-cilitate baptism, a craft or freshproduce market, and improvingthe environmental health of thewater and surrounding banks.“Our aim is to ensure that all of
these improvements will be rolledout over time. However, at thisstage the funds for capital invest-ment in the precinct are extremelylimited.“We would like to urge the City
to make funding available, and areourselves in the process of explor-ing alternative sources of fundingsuch as corporate sponsorship andprivate donors. Any suggestions
from community members on ral-lying resources would bemost wel-come.”The framework comes after two
years of negotiation with the City,after the plans to develop a mall atPrincess Vlei were scrapped inMarch 2014.At this time the PrincessVlei Fo-
rum presented the City with “Im-agine Princess Vlei” – a vision forPrincess Vlei that had been devel-oped with the community throughdiscussions, surveys, workshopsand other processes.“The past two years have been
spent in negotiating the plan forPrincess Vlei, and negotiating a
memorandum of agreement em-powering the forum to representcommunity interests in the devel-opment andmanagement of the ar-ea. This was finalised in Decemberlast year,” says Houston.In August last year the City re-
leased a draft concept developmentframework (CDF) based on the Im-agine Princess Vlei vision, as wellas input from other communityand City stakeholders, which setout principles to guide develop-ment at the vlei.The draft was presented to the
public for discussion at the City’sopenday, andat aworkshophostedby the Princess Vlei Forum where
community members and stake-holders discussed the plan and sug-gested improvements.City planners incorporated com-
munity feedback, and presentedthe finalised CDF to forum mem-bers for discussion in April.After further adjustments it was
tabled for comment at the subcoun-cil 20meeting inMay,where forummembers urged the subcouncil toincorporate Princess Vlei projectsin their ongoing budget discus-sions, and to support the overall de-velopment of the eastern shore forthe benefit of the community.Belinda Walker, mayoral com-
mitteemember for community ser-vices and special projects, says thefinalisation of the CDF is a stepwhich both the City of Cape Townand the Princess Vlei Forum wel-come.“The process leading to the de-
velopment of the CDF has allowedus to better understand key priori-ties that will help to restore Prin-cess Vlei into a safe and family-ori-ented recreational space. We trulyvalue the hard work undertakenby the Princess Vlei Forum andtheir continued dedication to thisproject,” says WalkerThe City is committed to work-
ing together with communities toplan the spaceswhich theywill useand treasure, both now and in thefuture, she says.“A collaborative approach se-
cures community input at everystage of the process and this is es-sential to ensure the City can meetthe communities’ needs, as far aspossible.”

He’s a community activist, an educator, afather, a husband and a hip-hop artist.Emile YX? – or Emile Jansen as his family
knowhim – is no stranger to Cape Town andSouth African hip-hop fans. In fact, theBlack Noise founding member has been in-strumental in growing the local hip-hopscene.But his many achievements will
be introduced to an international au-dience later this year when Breaklike You, a documentary about hiswork, will be screened at the inaugu-ral NewYorkHip-Hop FilmFestival.“The documentary producers in-
terviewed various people and heardabout my story from some peopleand they just approached me abouttelling my story,” Emile explains ofthe short film shot byMehreenAfzaland Melissa House, as part of theBarefoot Workshops, last year.“It’s a very honest story about be-
ing a community activist, father,husband, artist, educator througharts and culture andhowhealing canhappen through giving of oneself.”The film comes off the back of a
busy period for Emile who recentlywon the SABC 3 breakfast show Es-presso’s Mandela Monday Awardalong with a LeadSA Hero Award inApril.He’s also just sent five dancers to compete
at Battle VNR in France and has justwrapped up Positive Poster Week, a cam-paign run through his Heal the Hoodproject.Emile started Heal the Hood as a commu-
nity organisation in 1998 with the aim to“change minds to change action”. The non-profit organisation has since grown fromstrength to strength, raising money to helpsend 194 performers to international compe-titions over the years.The organisation’s focus this year is on
eight schools and two community centreson the Cape Flats where they inspire youngpeople to become “artistically active”through songs, music videos and books.“We are also focussing our energies on
changing the negative dialogue that domi-nates the Cape Flats youth to a positive oneof outcomes and action.”Emile’s own artistic journey started with
breakdancing, before he went on to try hishand at graffiti, beatboxing and rapping –all elements of hip-hop culture. Dancing iswhat first attracted him to the culture andhe says it challenged his fear of people see-ing him “in the middle of a circle”.“Without me knowing it, it was about me
finding me and showing myself to theworld.”As aman of fewwords, when Emile found
himself writing, he says he knew he had to
do something about it. This is a philosophythat he’s carried throughout his career andwhy he now calls himself a “reactionary ac-tivist”.“We did not have a space, so we took ac-
tion and danced on the streets,” he says.“We took action to teach each other, our-selves, and that’s activism.”When Emile and his crew found them-
selveswithnoevents toperformat, they cre-ated their own, before creating competi-tions and then touring; first nationally andthen internationally.With no “how-to” guide, they printed
their ownCDs, DVDs and books and createdtheir own production to be able to make aliving from their art.It was the beginning of what would be-
come a vibrant South African hip-hop cul-ture.“We are proud to say that we played a role
in making that dream a reality for many
people today. My main reason was alwaysabout my creative desire to make newthings. To manifest the word and showyouth that with determination and perse-verance anything is possible.”Emile’s contributions to his community

Brand newECD centresbring smilesCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Hundreds of children are set for a solidfoundation and bright future after three
Early Childhood Development (ECD) cen-tres opened in Philippi on Wednesday 8June.
Valued at R12m, the investment injectionis definitely needed for these ECDs.
Celebrated with much fanfare on the dayby investors, sponsors and beneficiaries setthe tone
for learning in vibrant environments.The three centres – Khululeka Educare,
Zamukhanyo Educare and Noncedo Educa-re – have undergone a comprehensive up-grade from the Rotary Club of Claremont,in partnership with the Lewis Group.
Rotary Club of Claremont president, TomBergmann-Harris, says the handover was“more than just a celebration of some newbuildings”. “This is about creating a posi-tive environment which ensures childrenreceive the best possible educational stimu-lation from an early age, giving them a realhope for excelling in the future. By equip-ping teachers with the skills they need wecan ensure these educare centres are sus-tainable in the long term,” Bergmann-Har-ris says.
The Rotary Club of Claremont’s InjongoEducare Project has worked with 47 Educa-re Centres in Philippi since 2012 with a totalspend of R12m to date.
Holistic interventions include extensiveteacher training, physical upgrades to ex-isting facilities and daily mentoring assist-ance for educare centres to ensure that theymeet the Department of Social Development(DSD) and the Western Cape Education De-partment’s (WCED) requirements for offi-cial ECD accreditation and registration.
While keeping school fees affordable,these interventions make centres sustaina-ble, and effective in the long term, throughsubsidies provided by the DSD and WCED.
Since 2012, a dozen educare centres have
been fully upgraded and reopened by Injon-go together with its dedicated sponsors.
Learners at the three centres sang songsto celebrate their excitement about theirnew school premises.
Principal of Zamukhanyo Educare, Sin-diswa Thebeka, has promised parents andthe sponsors of the newly renovated centresthat they would look after it.
Neil Jansen, Lewis Group HR director,has told residents, parents and Rotariansthat it was an honour for Lewis to be in-volved in the project.
“For more than four years, we have fo-cused on making a lasting impact in thenext generation through our partnershipwith Injongo. Foundation phase educationlays the grounding for children’s cognitiveand socio-emotional development. TheseECDs prepare them for school and tertiaryeducation. The results of this project al-ready speak volumes and it is encouragingto receive so much support from the com-munity,” Jansen said.
Simphiwe Smile, 36-year-old father ofKamva – who attends the Grade R class forfive year olds at Khululeka Educare was fullof smiles at the opening event.
“My daughter knows how to count, shecan write her own name and she is confi-dent to stand in front of her class and tellstories. Her mind is really working and sheis so clever. I’m really proud to see howmuch she has developed at Khululeka Edu-care,” he says.
Smile, who takes an active role in hisdaughter’s life, says he listens to her talkhappily about what she has learnt at schoolas he takes her to school every morning.
Principal at Khululeka Educare, Nombu-lelo Majezi, says “all of the local primaryschools want Khululeka Children to enrolin Grade 1”.
“Even schools outside of Philippi, theysay that children from Khululeka are amaz-ing. You can just call the principals to askand they can tell you about our children,”Majezi says.

The Cape of Good Hope SPCA(CoGH SPCA) launched their
newly constructed state-of-the-artfacility on Thursday last week.Patrons, animal guardians and
sponsors were given a preview ofthe new facility, the concept ofwhich was introduced during lastyear.Excited furry friends greetedvis-
itors and animal lovers on Thurs-day as theywelcomed them to theircomfortable new conditions.The premises in Grassy Park
nowhosts the largest adoptionken-nel of its kind in South Africa– with bells and whistles.Longstanding animal guardian
Gayle Slyper shared her personalexperience with the SPCA.“I am very excited about this
shelter. I encourage people to be-come involved by donating to ouranimal shelters.“Our four-legged friends need
the help,” she says.CoGH SPCA CEO Allan Perrins
says: “With ever more animals re-quiring a safe haven from abuseandabandonment, theCoGHSPCAforged aheadwith the construction
mid-2015.“The decision to invest
in a redevelopment wasseen as a vital move in se-curing the future sustain-ability of the organisa-tion as a whole.”He says the older build-
ings were over 20 yearsold and as such variousstructural problems werebeginning to negativelyaffect the “overall effica-cy of the facility and in or-der to best serve the ani-mals an overhaul wasnecessary”.Build-A-Way Builders
worked in conjunctionwith Rennie Scurr Aden-dorff Architects to bringthe vision of a 21st centu-ry kennel into reality.Adendorff says the fa-
cility integrates modern,state-of-the-art animalcare habitats and supportsystems with a design
thatmirrors the desired operation-al flow of people and animals intoand out of the facility.The facility hosts quarantine,
pre-adoption and adoption podswhich can accommodate 300 indi-vidual animals.Before, due to space constraints,
the CoGH SPCA hosted up to threesmall dogs in one kennel.“We are able to reduce the risk
of kennel stress by giving each ani-mal in our care a space to call theirown while still encouraging a de-gree of controlled socialisation.The dogs and cats will now also beenjoying underfloor heating andimproved biosecurity which willhelpus control the spread of deadlydiseases,” says Belinda Abraham,a staffer at the SPCA.The furry friends also have dog
beds which are raised above floorlevel so that they do not sleep onthe cold cement.Possible adoption families will
also be given the opportunity to gothrough an adoption processwhere they are taken privately in-to an adoption room, where an as-sessment is done, to ensure thatfamilies adopt a pet that is bestsuited for their home.Possible fur parents also have
the option to familiarise them-selves with a candidate pet in aviewing room instead of visitingthe kennels, which could becomeoverwhelming.Each dog is also provided with a
comfortable and hygienic dog bedsthanks to Coolaroo Pet Beds.V To enquire about adoptions please callKim on 021 700 4152 or email adoptions@spcact.co.za

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

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 Football Club, formed 25 yearsago in the heart of theRocklands, previ-ously known as Turf United and Stan-
tonFC, is looking forward to this year’s Ken-park u.23 tournament, which takes placethis weekend.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 toStanturf’s u.23 coach, Jeanne
Valentyn, his charges are excited at theprospect of rubbing shoulders with some ofthe city’s more renowned clubs, after quali-fying for this year’s tournament after a 16-year absence.Valentyn attributes the barren period to
a number of factors, which ended in theirclub losing the bulk of their youth playersover the years.“With many ups and downs in the club as
well as the community,we still had the gameof football at heart.As a former junior player(myself), it was then a joy to play and as timewent past our community, (others) became
investedwith gangsters and the use of drugsincreased, especially within the youth. Weended up losing players as well as a loss ofinterest in the game. Keeping the youth mo-tivated and interested in the game was hardand as an amateur club, finding attackingplayers was difficult,” he states.He says that the only other way to lure tal-
ent 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 plyingtheir trade professionally.“The players are excited, preparing to
showcase their talent and hopefully impressto possibly fulfil their dreams and make itin this industry.“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 their
sponsor on Thursday 9 June, which broughta renewed spark to the squad ahead of thetournament proper this weekend.“Just to see the faces of our boys, excited
to 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 23other teams from across Cape Town in the Kenpark u.23 tournament this weekend.
