BRAILLE: OPENING NEW AVENUES

Life made easier for the blindTAURIQ HASSEN

@TauriqHassen

Onemorning, shewokeupandwasuna-ble to see. The devastation of wakingup blind was an experience Jennifer

Fleischmann had to overcome quickly.A visit to the doctor found she had glauco-

ma. Her optic nerves were damaged.TheSeaPoint residenthad to learnbraille

to move forward with her life.She has now been blind for nearly a year

and relies solely on braille to completemany of her daily duties as a receptionistat the League of the Friends of theBlind (Lo-fob).“In the beginning Iwas very lost as I could

not read or write. I worked in the hotel in-dustry, where I was required to performthesebasic duties daily,”Fleischmannsays.“I had to quickly adapt to thisway of life.”She felt that feeling herway around in the

dark needed to be polished off by learningthe technique of braille and started a courseat Lofob.Taking messages, answering the phone

and readingabookare someof the activities

which require the ability to understandbraille.“It’s everything to me; without braille I

think I would be lost,” she says.Her story ties in with a month dedicated

to braille, as World Braille Day was cele-brated on Saturday 4 January.Lofob executive director Armand Bam

says braille forms an integral part of the in-dependence development services.“Braille is one of the main reasons blind

people are literate and able to enjoy theirrights enshrined in the South African Con-stitution,” Bam says.World Braille Day celebrates the life of

the late Louis Braille and pays tribute tohim for the “ingenious script” he inventedthat still transforms lives today.“The magic of the six dots known as the

system of Braille is the key to independencefor blind and visually impaired persons. Itis the means to education, employment andpleasure,” Bam says.The past few years have seen a decrease

in the number of blind persons who arebraille literate, raising the question aroundthe importance and relevance of braille in

a world overtaken by modern technology.This has prompted Lofob to embark on a

braille awareness programme at variousschools.“Nothing beats the actual experience of

holding and feeling a book, turning its pag-es, reading its text, and even smelling its pa-per. It can never be replaced by any kind oftechnology,” Bam says.Adrian Lupe (42) from Parkwood Estate

formspart of thedecreasingnumber of visu-ally impaired people who struggle to under-stand braille.He lost his sight at the age of 22 while

working in a welding factory and has sincebeen solely reliant on the voices of others.“You start mastering your ability of feel-

ing, but at the same timeyou struggle in cer-tain aspects, especially when nobody isaround to assist you,” he says.Lupe says reading a book or operating a

computer and telephone are some of the ac-tivities which have been missing from hisdaily life for nearly 20 years.“I just had to get used to living in the dark.

It was not easy, but I certainly did not haveanother choice,” he says.V The Lofob Braille Awareness Programme will takeplace from Monday 27 until Friday 31 January. Formore information about these and other related ac-tivities contact Lofob PR officer Heidi Volkwijn on(021) 705 3753.

PHUMLANI VILLAGE: ORGANIC PRODUCE AND EMPLOYMENT FOR RESIDENTS

Community garden to bloomTAURIQ HASSEN

@TauriqHassen

Phumlani Village has reason to be excit-ed when news of a greenhouse openingspread through the community.

The community garden in Phumlani Vil-lagewas located close to the communityhall,but suffered years of vandalism and dump-ing.This led to the search for new grounds, as

the garden was meant to provide crops aswell as employment for the residents inPhumlani Village.Malcolm Josephs, director for New Chap-

terFoundation (NCF), the organisationdriv-ing the project, says it was a challenge track-ing down suitable land for the project.“It was a real challenge, but we are glad

that we are making some progress and wehave finally overcome our biggest chal-lenge,” he says.NCF secured R120 000 through various

fundraising initiatives, with the aim of in-stalling two new high tunnels – a dome-likegreenhouse – but struggled to obtain land,(“Light at the end of the tunnel”, People’sPost, 10 October 2013).Josephs confirms an agreement has now

been reached with the lease holders for landin Schaapkraal.“The area that has been identified for the

garden is a perfect location, as members ofthe community would have easy access tothe garden once it is up and running,” hesays.Josephs says the ground is currently be-

ing prepared for farming and they hope tohave the project running by the end of Feb-ruary.He adds that the new garden can create

employment opportunities, will assist witheducating the community about nutritionand provide practical experience to whom-ever needs help with starting their own gar-dens. The tunnels could also provide NCFwith some additional income through theselling of someproduce in localmarkets pro-ceeds of which will, in turn, go towardsprojects like the nutrition centre.NCF recently started a nutrition centre

which provides soup for the children on Fri-days, as well as to many who struggle withmalnutrition. The produce grown at thehigh tunnelswill be used to supply the nutri-tion centre to provide low-cost, local, nutri-tious and organic food to the Phumlani Vil-lage community.Siphokazi Xolo is excited at prospect of

working at the new garden.He has been unemployed for nearly 15

years after being laid off by a factory in Ot-tery. “In today’s life, it is really hard tryingto find work and you cannot just walk intoany place and ask for a job,” Xolo says.“I hope that I will be able to be involved

in a project like this, because it will meanthat I can once again provide formy family.”

HARMONY: The annual Cape Malay Choir concert once again showed South Africans how unitedthey are in their diversity. The concert at the Cape Town City Hall was attended by hundredsof people and happened at the place where the first Malay choral took place in 1938. ShafiekApril, the president of the Cape Malay Choir Board, explained that the organisation was startedin 1938 and in 1989 the first competition was held, during which seven choirs participated.“Between 1978 and 1980 the clubs were uprooted due to the forced removals of people fromDistrict Six, but we survived.” PHOTO: YUNUS MOHAMED

The Communiversity of South Africa of-fers a post-secondary school programmedesigned to help bring the 73% unem-ployed youth in the country into profes-sional employment through a one-yearcommunity-based, industry-related pro-gramme.

Shortly after opening their doors in July2012, they obtained a BBBEE BeneficiaryRecognition Certificate.

Director DrMelanie Brown says the pro-gramme has already reached out to peoplein Vrygrond, Steenberg, Retreat, Heath-field, Lavender Hill, Seawinds, Muizen-berg and Hillview. It boasts a 74% gradua-

tion rate.“The Communiversity is gaining trac-

tion in the community of Vrygrond andsurrounding areas through successfulgraduation and ensuing further educationand/or work placement of our studentsand graduates through various strategicpartnerships,” she says.

The programmeworks with mostly highschool dropouts, who were unemployedand unemployable.

Of the two initial groups, 77 entrantswere admitted and 57 students successfullygraduated.

Over 40% of the graduates passed assess-ments for Further Education Training(FET) or other colleges. Of the graduatesnot going to college, 49% now have jobs orinternships.

“These results are highly promising asbetween 80%and90%of these studentshadnot been employable or able to attend fur-ther educationprogrammesdue to their se-vere lack of adequate educational andworkplace preparation,” Brown says.

“We are heartened that our model isproving to be successful.”

The idea came about when Brownworked to help create and fund CIDA CityCampus in Johannesburg for 15 years.

She realised themodelwas too costly andrequired students to leave their familieswho were often dependent on them.

Brown also saw that having a college de-gree did not guarantee that students wouldget jobs relevant to their studies.

She further believed there had to be abetter way to prepare students for theworkplace and higher education.

Lydon Small (25) from Lavender Hill isone of last year’s the top graduates.

Currently working as a teacher’s assist-ant at Capricorn Primary School, he plansto study teaching when he finally com-pletes his matric.

“If it was not for all my hard work anddedication, I would not have achieved any-thing in life,” Small says.

“I am really proud and I feel that I havea second chance to make something of myfuture.”V The Communiversity is open to all young adults,from school leavers to matriculants. Qualified en-trants pay R600 tuition, which is fully reimbursedto successful graduates.V Visit www.communiversitysa.org for the Communi-versity full curriculum and more information on theorganisation.

TECHNOLOGY: SCAMSTERS TARGET THE PENNILESS

Beware of online conmen on the prowlAs the leanest month of the year leaves

most counting their rands and cents,scamsters are cashing in on consum-

ers’ desperation for a good deal or freevoucher.A local information technology service

provider warns that con artists are out infull force and advises all internet users toknow the methods used in scams.

Malicious linksThe easiest way to be targeted is through

an email, text or Facebook post, supposedlyoffering a great deal.“Generally, don’t click on a link from

someone you don’t know as it could be spy-ware or a malicious programme designed tocapture passwords and other personal infor-mation,” warns Leaine Brebber, head ofcommunications for the service provider.If you don’t remember entering a competi-

tion or ordering a package and the dealseems too good to be true, it is probably a

scam. Examples of such cons are the freeR500 Woolworths and Pick n Pay gift vouch-ers you can supposedlywinby sharing a linkon your Facebook page.“Always check the source of the link, even

if it’s from someone you know. A scammercould have hijacked their account and sentit on their behalf,” Brebber says.Phony offers come in the form of an email,

text message or Facebook post saying thatyou’ve won a prize or that you’ve qualifiedfor a massive discount or sum of money ona gift card.You are then required to enter extensive

personal information in order to receive itor share the link with your friends.“Don’t do it! The more personal informa-

tion they have, the easier itwill be to get intoyour bank account, for example. Ignorelinks offering ridiculous discounts and steerclear of sites that offer gift cards at unheardof prices,” she urges. “You know the saying‘If it sounds too good to be true, it probably

is’? This is the general rule when it comesto scams.”Some sites do offer amazing deals, like

Groupon and Superbalist (Citymob), but it’sthe unknown sites that you need to watchout for. The ones with strangely spelt namesor which offer highly sought after items likeiPads and iPhones at abnormally low pricesshould be treated with caution.Be very wary when entering your credit

card details onto unknown sites and makesure that the site is secure. The web addressshould beginwith https:// instead of http://.The “s” means that it is secure.“We recommend using a separate card for

online purchases and setting your limit aslowas possible, so that if your details are sto-len, the damagewill beminimal. It’s also notadvisable to save any of your credit card de-tails on a site for future purchases,” Brebberadvises. Dubious websites can also pull youin by offering vouchers for popular gifts.If you have to enter a lot of personal infor-

mation to receive the prize, the warningbells should start to sound.If you are required to sign up to the ac-

count to purchase, using a password you ha-ven’t used for anything else is a good idea.

What to doIf you think you’ve fallen victim to an on-

line scam, immediately run a virus scan.Cellphones and tablets aren’t immune toscamware, so this applies to all devices.

“We recommend using ESET NOD32 fordesktop andmobile security,” Brebber says.Change your password if you think you

have been scammed and call your creditcard company right away.Theywill put awatch on your card for sus-

picious activity.“Stick to the well-known sites, don’t click

on any links from unfamiliar sources anddon’t be tricked into givingup extensive per-sonal information to get a good deal,” Breb-ber encourages.

WYNBERG: APPEAL TO RELOCATE

School’s bid for BonnytoonMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Cement playgrounds, rusted railingsand prefabricated walls is the drearyreality for pupils at Wynberg High

School.After 38 years the school’s management

is in a bid to have the school relocated tothe oldBonnytoonJuvenileCorrectional fa-cility.Principal Faiq Salie says the building, de-

signed to be used for 25 years, has reachedits expiry date.While in a good condition, he says, it is

slowly becoming a safety risk for pupils.“We try to keep it in a good condition, but

the cracks are showing. The railings on thebalconies are starting to rust and it causesa problem when pupils are changing class-es,” he says.At any one point there are about 700 pu-

pils passing each other on the overcrowdedstairways and balconies. The walls in theclassrooms and toilets are in a state of disre-pair.The provincial education department is

now investigating the possibility of relocat-ing the school to Bonnytoon. In his propos-al, Salie writes the facility was designed toprovide educational facilities for juveniles,so it already has the infrastructure for aschool.Departmental spokesperson, Bronagh

Casey says the facility is owned by the De-

partment of Transport and Public Worksand is currently being used by the Depart-ment of Social Development.She says the education department has

made no commitments, but admits the cur-rent building is not “appropriate for re-placement”.“The education department is investigat-

ing the possibility of Bonnytoon as an alter-native site. The current site is not appropri-ate for replacement. No formal commit-ments have been made with the school,”Casey explains.She adds thedepartment is not investigat-

ing any other buildings in the area for therelocation of the school.Meanwhile, Salie says the introduction

and continuation of additional sport at theschool is also an issue. The school does nothave a field and pupils who wish to partici-pate in rugby, soccer or cricket have to betransported to sports fields for training ses-sions. He says the transportation of pupilsaffects the school financially.Cross country was removed as an extra-

curricular activity as pupils were forced touse stairways as training grounds.Expressing his discontent, Salie says the

school’s plan for holistic development of pu-pils is being stifled.“The surroundings play a big part in mo-

tivating them and we just cannot do so inthis space. It’s a waiting game for us andwereallyhopeourproposalwill be successful,”he says.

Pensioners irate at‘charges’ on grantsDESIREÉ RORKE

@dezzierorke

A probe was recently launched intosmall but irregular deductions madefrom pensioners who drew their old

age grants at Pick n Pay paypoints in De-cember.This paypoint service was made availa-

ble to all social grant beneficiaries in Aprillast year, by means of their Sassa cards,which helps avoid standing in long queuesfor hours at Sassa paypoints each month.During December several pensioners

were charged additional fees ranging be-tween R2 and R10 when withdrawing theirpensions at Pick n Pay.According to statistical reports for 2013,

2.8 million people receive social grants inthe Western Cape alone.Of this, 258 759 are old age grants.

InvestigationOne pensioner laments: “This is the first

time a fee was charged. And why was thefee not the same across the board? Pick nPay had a notice up that all Sassa transac-tionswere free andnow they are charging!”When this particular pensioner contact-

ed the Sassa call centre, she was advised bya consultant that the matter was under in-vestigation.On enquiry, Pick n Pay customer service

director Jonathan Ackerman confirmedthat the store does not charge any fee forthe withdrawal of Sassa grant payments.“We have consulted with Sassa and it ap-

pears that some Sassa transactions mayhave incurred transaction fees,” he says.“Pick n Pay considers the payment of so-

cial grants as a service to our communities

and does not profit from it at all.”He referred customers who found they

have been charged a transaction fee to theSassa call centre.Sassa regional spokespersonShivaniWa-

hab also confirmed that there should be notransaction fees charged when beneficiar-ies access their social grants via approvedmerchants such as Pick n Pay.“Transaction fees apply only in the case

of ATMwithdrawals, where standard ATMrates apply,” she says.“We will have to take the matter up with

CashPaymaster Services (CPS),who is con-tracted to Sassa for the payment of socialgrants, for further investigation.”

RefundsIt is not certain yet what the outcome of

this investigation is, but this reporter couldestablish that no additional deductionsweremade from the pensioners in questionduring January.The deductions made in December, how-

ever, were not refunded, according to oneof the pensioners.“According to a Sassa consultant the

money is still on my account but the Pickn Pay system shows nothing,” she com-plained on Monday.CPS is a business unit of global company

NET1, which provides payment solutionsand transaction processing services acrossseveral industries.It is further stated that the company de-

rives up to 66 %of itsrevenuefrom its socialwelfare grant distribution business.At the time of going to print, this reporter

had not received any updates on theprogress or outcome of the investigation.V Phone Sassa toll-free on 0800 60 01 60.

Number of drivers droppingDriving appears to have levelled and

even started falling in many of theworld’s advanced economies long be-

fore the global downturn in 2008, accordingto the International Transport Forum.

The Organisation for Economic Coopera-tion reports that the slowdown shows an endto several decades in which car use grewtwice as fast as gross domestic products andincome and is consistent across the USA,Britain, France, Japan, Italy, Belgium, Ger-many, Sweden, the Netherlands and evenAustralia.

Waning car use in the USA, Europe andAsia leaves the future of oil demand depend-ent on drivers in emerging markets.

According to Long Run Trends in Car Use,a report by the ITF, “the economic recessionand relatively high fuel prices explain partof the decline in the growth of travel – butnot all of it. The reasons are complex andmay vary from country to country.

“There is still considerable uncertaintyabout why car use among young adults isfalling so rapidly and whether it representsa voluntary change in lifestyle, a responseto tough economic conditions or the in-creased availability of public transport andthe internet,” the report states.

“Slowing population growth, populationageing and increasing urbanisation contrib-uted to the change in passenger use in sever-al countries. There is evidence that car usehas also been reduced through policy inter-vention, particularly in urban areas.”

The British transport department’s2012National Travel Survey said mobilitymay also be declining across other modes oftransport.

In 2012 the average person in Britain trav-elled 10 768km, 4% less than the annual aver-age from 1995 to 1997. The number of tripsby private transport was down by 14% andthe use of public transport was up by 2%.

Fuel costs are clearly a factor in manycountries. Crude oil prices have quadrupledsince 2000 though pump prices for petrol anddiesel have been proportionately smallerdue to taxes. Nonetheless, driving has be-come significantly more expensive so house-holds are travelling less and choosing moreefficient modes of transport.

A similar trend was observed in the 1970s

and early 1980s in response to the first of twomajor oil shocks.

Phil Goodwin of the University of the Westof England’s Centre for Transport and Socie-ty says demographics also play a part. Annu-al distances driven fall by 50% when an indi-vidual retires. As populations of advancedeconomies grow older, car use is falling, butpeople are also responding to other morecomplex social changes such as the rise ofmobile computing, smartphones and moresingle-person households.

The trend to start families later, moreyoung people living in city centres and

“changing images of contemporary life”could also be reducing car use.

Goodwin also believed the smartphonehas replaced the car as the ultimate statussymbol.

The ITF further suggested that more on-line shopping and social networking mayhave replaced some shopping trips and lei-sure travel.

“Survey evidence supports the view thattechnology and social media are seen as sub-stitutes for physical travel, particularlyamong the young,” the report states.

“The largest decline in car travel is for

shopping and visiting friends and relatives,which some see suggestive of a change in-duced by choice – perhaps facilitated by therising availability of online alternatives totravel – but which could also be the resultof tighter budgets.”

The downturn in driving is not uniformand is heavily concentrated in certain socialgroups. In Britain, for example, the down-turn has been sharpest in London, where thehigh cost of insurance and parking, as wellas congestion charging and a dense publictransport network have all combined to re-duce driving since around 2000. – Wheels24

Merc’s S600 flagshipheaded for SAMercedes-Benz launched its new flag-

ship S-Class at the 2014NorthAmeri-can International autoshow in De-

troit earlier this month.The S600 will arrive in South Africa later

this year.Themodelmeasures 5.2m long, 1.8mwide

and1.4m tall,withawheelbaseof 3.1m.Bootcapacity is rated at 500F.The new S600 is powered by a 6.0 V12 bi-

turbo capable of 390kW – up from 380kW –and 830Nm.Mated to a 7G-tronic auto,Mercedes-Benz

claims a 21% reduction in fuel consump-tion, from 14F/100km to 11.2.Its V12 bi-turbo enables the model to

sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds, im-pressive considering it weighs 2185kg, andcan reach an electronically limited 250km/h.Not tomiss out on their share of the lime-

light, the entire S-Class range will be up-graded with the addition of a head-up dis-play, touchpad and collision prevention as-sist plus, which replaces the collisionprevention assist.In addition to adaptive braking, which

prevents collisions at more than 6.5km/h,the system is capable of autonomous brak-ing from as fast as 200km/h. The system re-duces the severity of a collision by brakingif a driver fails to respond to slowing orstopping vehicles.The system can also brake in response to

stationary vehicles at speeds of up to 55km/h and is able to prevent a rear-end collision

at up to 40km/h.As befits its status as flagship, the S600

is packedwithkit; LED intelligent light sys-tem and magic body control suspensionwith road surface scan.The model is equipped with a driving as-

sistance package and includes active lanekeeping assist, active blind-spot assist,cross-traffic assist, Distronic plus withsteer control, stop/go, pre-safe braking andpre-safe plus.The figure 600 has long been a legend in

the history of the automobile. The model600 (W100) launched in 1963was the first carfrom Mercedes-Benz to feature a V8 injec-tion engine.The same 186kW engine was also used

from 1967 in theW109model series (300 SEL6.3).Further topmodels to feature aV8 engine

included the 450 SEL 6.9 from the model se-ries 116 (213kW) and the 560 SE in the 126series (223kW in the ECE version).The 600 SE model in the 140 model series

of 1991 marked the introduction of the first12-cylinder engine as standard in a Mer-cedes-Benz car.The M120 delivered (304kW) from a dis-

placement of six litres andbegana traditionof V12 units as the top-of-the-range enginesin the S-Class.Since the 220 series, Mercedes-Benz has

also offered especially sporty, AMG-opti-mised variants with V8 and V12 engines atthe top of its S-Class range, in the form ofthe S63 AMG and S65 AMG. – Wheels24

COMING SOON: Mercedes-Benz launched its new flagship S-Class model the S600 earlier thismonth. It will arrive in South Africa later this year.

VW unveils supercar version of Golf GTIVolkswagen Golf fans must be tickledpink. The automaker has revealed aunique, supercar GTI version.And either the German brand has gone

bonkers or this GTI has sneaked into asteroids lab. The one-of-a-kind Golf GTIhas a three-litre engine under the bonnet,pushing out 373kW.The GTI does zero to 100km/h in 3.9 sec-

onds and costs the equivalent of R56m.The Golf Design Vision GTI, as it is

known, shares only one partwith the ordi-nary GTI and that’s the windscreen. Eve-rything else is customised. According toVW, it’s shorter, lower andwider with 20”alloy rims and 15” brakes.

Head honchos at VW say there are noplans to put this beast of a car into produc-tion, but it could borrow some design cuesto the next generation of Golfs.Klaus Bischoff, who heads up the team

behind the Vision GTI, says: “The designteam’s brief was to give a spectacularglance into the future of the GTI.”TopGear.com has described the car as

“a design study reflecting some ofVolkswagen’s greatest hits”.In a roadtest report, the TV programme

said: “The GTI concept will do 0-100km in3.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 300km/h– not just fast for a Golf, but fast full stop.”– Wheels24

Tough task for WP womenLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

A single match could define an entireseason for the Western Province wom-en’s cricket team.

Province take on neighbours Boland inWellington on Sunday and a loss will slashthe team’s chances of semi-final qualifica-tion.WP currently top the West/East group in

Cricket South Africa’s provincial league,with six wins from seven games.Boland are second, but have a game in

hand and are the only side to have beatenWP this season.Province coach Cobus Roodt is confident

his charges can pull off a victory, despitehaving three key players away on national

duty. “The Boland game is an important onefor the season. If we win, we will reach thesemi-finals,” he says.“I am confident we can win. I believe the

girls can pull through. There is a lot of workthat has gone in to get the girls ready. Theyunderstand what lies ahead, so there is noreason why we can’t win.”Roodt’s side racked up comfortable victo-

ries in their last two matches, posting 371/5before skittling out Border Kei for just 24runs on Saturday and then beating Borderby 36 runs on Sunday.Province have just three games left in the

pool stages; Boland on Sunday, before facingEastern Province on Saturday 1 Februaryand South Western Districts on Sunday 2February.Finishing at the summit of the West/East

group will ensure they go through alongwith the winners of the Highveld and Cen-tral groups.The best second-placed side out of all three

groups will be the fourth semi-finalist.A full haul of points in the last three games

could also seal a home semi-final for Prov-ince. Roodt believes the location of the play-off will not affect his side’s performance.“Playing at home gives you a small advan-

tage, but we are used to playing away,” hesays.“I find the team gels better when we are

away from home, because they all live in ahotel together. When they are at home, youdon’t know what they are doing. I believe acricket ground is just a cricket ground.”Last season Roodt’s side beat Gauteng at

the Wanderers to secure the title, after

knocking out Northerns at Newlands theprevious week.KwaZulu-Natal currently top the Central

pool, while Northerns and Gauteng are firstand second, respectively, in the Highveldgroup.Roodt says they would happily face any

side in the competition shouldWP reach thesemis.“You expect to face the strong teams so it

doesn’t matter who we play,” he says.“We just have to ensure that we play our

very best cricket. If we do, it doesn’t matter.I believe to be the best, you have to beat thebest – that’s one of the slogans we live by inthe team.”The final pool matches against EP and

SWD will both take place at Mutual Park inPinelands next month.

Big walkers to honour SA iconLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Around 20 000 people are set to fill thestreets of Cape Town in honour of thelate former president NelsonMandela atthe 15th annual 10km Big Walk inMarch.The event has become a highlight of

the Cape Town social sports calendar, soorganisers have decided to honourMadiba this year. People’s Post is theprint media sponsor of the Big Walk.As usual the Red Cross WarMemorial

Children’s Hospital Trust has been se-lected as the main beneficiary of theevent, but a percentage of the proceedswill also be given the Nelson MandelaFoundation. The walk will be held onSunday 2 March.Big Walk Committee chairperson Da-

wood Essack highlighted the walk’s 15thanniversary. “As a special commemora-tion of the 15th anniversary we will behavinga 15kmrunorwalkaswell. Everykilometre will be dedicated to the socialchallenges faced by some communities,”he says.“These challenges include education,

healthcare, physical fitness, drugs, theabuse of women and children, HIV/Aidsand the physically disabled.”At the event launch last week CEO of

the Mandela Rhodes Trust and repre-sentative of theNelsonMandelaFounda-tion, Shaun Johnson, thanked the BigWalkCommittee “for honouring our latepatron and founder”.Since its inauguration in 2000, the race

has donated over R1.6m to the Red CrossHospital.In 2012 themoneywas used to upgrade

the hospital’s burns unit and surgerywards, while last year’s R245 000 wasused to upgrade the radiology depart-ment.Trust CEO Louise Driver says this

year’s donation will be used to upgradethe paediatric intensive care ward. “Iwant to thank the Big Walk Committeefor selecting the Red CrossWarMemori-al Children’s Hospital Trust as the bene-ficiary again,” she says.“It’s amazing that they have been sup-

porting us for 14 consecutive years. Themoney has been given to a number ofprojects; there isn’t a part of the hospitalthat the Big Walk has not touched.”

Kind draw for local clubsLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Santos will face an unknown quantitywhen they tackle Gamalakhe United inthe Nedbank Cup round of 32.

The People’s Team will face the KwaZulu-Natal side at home after being paired in thedraw last week.

Santos coach David Notoane says he ishappy with the draw, but will be doing hishomework on the minnows to prevent anyupsets.

“We are playing at home and that is veryimportant, but we are playing against a Sec-ond Division team which is tricky,” he says.

“We don’t know much about them, but I

have started doing my homework. It’s thefirst time I have heard about them. I havespoken to some of the people I know in Kwa-Zulu-Natal, so I have a little bit of incite intothe team we are facing.

“We are happy with the draw, but we arenot going to take it lightly.”

Santos are currently fifth on the NationalFirst Division (NFD) table, eight points be-hind the league leaders, but have a game inhand.

Notoane’s side suffered a 1-0 loss to localrivals Vasco da Gama in their last outingand will need to take maximum points fromSaturday’s match away to Sivutsa Stars tokeep their hopes of promotion alive.

Meanwhile, neighbours Milano United

have also welcomed a fortunate NedbankCup draw result after some indifferent formin the NFD.

The Grassy Park side will host Bloemfon-tein Young Tigers in the round of 32.

Milano coach Theo Hempe says he wouldhave preferred to play a bigger team, whichwould’ve drawn in a large crowd of support-ers.

“We are not complaining; it’s a favourabledraw so we want to give it everything andgo as far as possible in the Nedbank Cup,”he says.

Hempe says he last faced Tigers as a play-er. “It’s not the first time I’ve heard of theclub. I played against them a while back,when they were still in the NFD a few years

ago. We will give them the respect they de-serve,” he says.

Milano held the top spot in the league justtwo weeks ago, but surrendered first placeafter a draw with FC Cape Town. They havesince dropped to third following a loss to Jo-mo Cosmos at the weekend.

Hempe’s side trail first-placed ChippaUnited and second-placed Vasco da Gama bya solitary point.

The former midfielder has brushed off thepoor results as a temporary dip in form andexpects his charges to turn it around againstRoses United at the Wynberg Military Baseon Sunday.

The dates for the Nedbank Cup matcheshave not yet been announced.
