Residents have reported more than 200 gunshots being fired during the past three weeks. After analysing calls, Manenberg Police Station commander Brigadier Andre van Dyk says the total number of shots reported means that more than three shots are being fired daily. Van Dyk says the current gang situation is intensifying and is as a result of the gang war between the Hard Livings and three oth- er gangs in the community. These gangs are the Dixie Boys, Ghettos and Clever Kids. “There is no indication at this stage that the gang incidents and violence will stop. Our deployments are under pressure and we rely on information from the public to help us confiscate firearms and drugs,” says Van Dyk. “We need to disarm the criminal elements in the community.” Manenberg Community Police Forum spokesperson Kadar Jacobs says a variety of public meetings have been scheduled to ad- dress the ongoing violence and neighbour- hood watches are working closely with po- lice to combat crime. “As residents we have a responsibility. We can’t just sit back and expect the police to do all the work. We need to take ownership for our streets and facilities and show the criminal elements and gangsters that we will not allow them to keep us hostage,” he says. “We have arranged a number of meetings and will decide as a community what our plan of action will be. We are also asking peo- ple to join the neighbourhood watches.” This weekend alone combined operations in Manenberg saw officers arrest 22 men for attempted murder, the youngest being 15 and 16 years old. In addition, officers also confiscated four illegal firearms, but Van Dyk says hardly any of the successes officers have recently had has been as a result of community in- put. Officers are currently being deployed to patrol the streets in Army formation and are heavily armed to create a strong police pres- ence and help residents feel more at ease. Clamping down on spaza shop owners ille- gally selling fireworks and ensuring they have the relevant permits to sell fireworks will be one of the main focus points for police in the next few weeks. “I am officially warning all spaza shops and people illegally selling and setting off fireworks that this will not be tolerated. We are going to be conducting searches and ar- resting all those who do not comply.” Another priority for police will be ensur- ing that the community is safe for teachers and pupils to return to schools this week with joint operations. “We have deployed maximum manpower and are trying to stabilise the situation to create an environment where learning can take place. “It is our responsibility.” Provincial education department spokes- person Jessica Shelver says the department will continue to work closely with the police to monitor violence in the area when schools re-open on Wednesday. “Pupils are mainly at risk while travelling to and from schools. Police have promised greater visibility this week,” she says.

Hookah pipes undermicroscopeMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the use of hookah pipes in restau-rants and other venues becomes morepopular, the City of Cape Town is lob-

bying for legislative clarity on the matter.According to a statement, the City will be

escalating its efforts this year for legislativeclarity on the wide array of “alternative”smoking devices and habits that have be-come commonplace in South Africa.

Tobacco ActBenedicta van Minnen, City Mayoral

Committee Member for Health, says earlierthis year the City solicited legal opinionfrom the national health department aboutthe use of electronic or e-cigarettes, but saysthis continues to be a grey area as there areno provisions for these items in the TobaccoControl Amendment Act.When it comes to the smoking of ciga-

rettes, Van Minnen says the legislation isvery clear and the City is seeking similarclarity onhookahpipes and e-cigarettes. “Inthe absence of legislation, there is nothingthat prevents establishments from ‘renting’hookah pipes to patrons or the pipes beingused in areas where smoking would other-wise not be allowed,” she explains.

HealthVan Minnen further highlights research

done on the effects of hookah pipe smoking.She explains in the most recent study in

America, itwas found that 39%of teenagersand young adults who had previouslysmoked hookah pipeswent on to smoke cig-arettes. “Hookah pipes are very popular inCape Town, not just among adults, but alsochildren because there is a perception thatthe flavoured tobacco is somehow notharmful. Tobacco is tobacco, no matterwhat the flavour.We need to bemoremind-ful as a society about the burdenwe’re plac-ing on the healthcare system.”With high levels of respiratory diseases

such as tuberculosis, Van Minnen says au-thorities have to make every effort to com-bat these.Officials from the City’s health depart-

ment have met with researchers from bothUCT and the UWC. “The consensus is thatwhile the research is not definitive, smok-ing hookah pipes is harmful to the healthof an individual. The researchers are alsoin agreement that nicotine remains one ofthe most addictive substances, especiallyfor young people,” says Van Minnen.

EffectsAccording to a fact sheet by the South Af-

rican Medical Research Council (MRC)smoke fromahookahpipe is not better thancigarette smoke because it passes throughwater. This is because, like cigarettesmoke, hookah smoke contains poisons in-cluding nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, ar-senic and lead.The sheet covers a variety of topics in-

cluding the long-term health effects ofsmoking hookah. It says smoking hookahcan be as addictive as cigarettes and thelong-term effects include cancers of themouth, lungs and bladder or a heart at-tack.In addition the spread of other diseases

are often linked to smoking hookah as thepipe is shared among smokers.The sheet also outlines the effects of sec-

ondary smoke from a hookah pipe whichnon-smokers, in this instance, are exposedto.“Children whose parents smoke hookahs

aremore likely to have lung infections thanchildren whose parents do not,” it reads.

StudyAccording to a study conducted byProfes-

sor Angela Mathee, who heads the MRC’sEnvironment and Health Research Unit infive “deprived” areas in Johannesburg,high rates of hookah smoking were ob-served.As part of the study, a survey was con-

ducted with Grade 10 pupils from a nearbyschoolwhere itwas found that 60%of pupilshadusedorwere currently smokinghookahpipes.The results also indicate that most users

started smoking hookah pipes between theages of 13 and 15.The study also says a significant number

of users had reported usingmarijuana or al-cohol-based products along with the tobac-co.It highlights the need for nationwide re-

search on the extent of hookah smoking inSouth Africa.Van Minnen says she will be raising the

issues with national health minister AaronMotsoaledi to push for legal clarity on theuse of hookah pipes and e-cigarettes soonerrather than later.“I am not necessarily pushing for a ban

on the devices, because to be fair there isnot definitive proof of their impact. But wedo need to close the legislative vacuumwhere these devices are concerned,” sheconcludes.

The City of Cape Town is seeking clarity onlegislation around hookah pipes.

GANG WARS

Marching for peaceSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

Stop the gang violence and innocent kill-ings on the Cape Flats.This is what posters, flyers, letters

and placards will soon say as residents ofgang-plagued areas plan to have their voicesheard at a mass march against gang vio-lence.A date has been set for the campaign

aimed at ending gang violence (“Massmarch for 2015”, People’s Post, 16 December2014).After receiving positive feedback at a re-

cent Hanover Park Civic Association meet-ing, the association leadership has escalatedefforts to see an end to the violence.Civic association chairperson Errol Da-

vids says they now have new fire.“The letters are being drafted and will be

sent out soon. All schools, religious institu-tions and businesses will be invited to jointhemeeting and give their input and sugges-tions,” he says.Although it has not yet been confirmed,

the association has been in contact with oth-er areas plagued by gang violence.Deputy chairperson Igshaan Nazier says

the killings have become a human rights is-sue.“The gangsters are infringing on our

rights and we plan to take the matter to thehuman rights commission. We are left hereto die and nothing is done about it,” he says.After a meeting with mayor Patricia de

Lille, the association will hold a mass meet-ing at the Hanover Park Civic Centre to dis-cuss the way forward.A resident, who asks not to be named, says

the violence has escalated and gangstershave little regard for innocent human lives.“The gangsters are so brazen that they

meet and strategise out in the open. They arevery organised and no one is safe when theydecide to strike,” she says.Although the campaign was met with

some skepticism, Nazier says the right atti-tude is key.“I refuse to accept that the violence will

never stop. If you tell me ‘we will march andnothing will change’ then you have thewrong attitude. If we stand together andwork together as a community there will bea difference,” he says.Davids agrees.“If we can change one person’s life then

we would have made a difference becausethat can cause a chain reaction. We don’tneed the negativity,” he says.All parties involved stand to benefit from

the campaign, say Nazier and Davids.“If we can take back our streets, we can

help grow interest and investment in Hano-ver Park,” Davids says.After themeeting, the association plans to

go ahead with a mass march.Some local businesses are already on

board and residents, law enforcement agen-cies and other roleplayers are urged to at-tend the meeting.It will be held at the Hanover Park Civic

Centre on Saturday 28 February and will beheld from 12:00 to 15:00.For more information, phone Davids on

084 745 1255 or Nazier on 083 556 0201.V Share your views. Starting with the word “Post”, SMSyour thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Businessesstill not safeBusiness robberies continue to plague theLansdowne policing precinct.In themost recent incident, on Tuesday 13

at 20:30, twomen hit the Hamieds Superette,confirms police spokesperson Captain AllenManuel.“The two armed suspects entered the shop

and ordered the owners to lie down on thefloor. The one suspect then searched theowner and his friend, taking three cell-phones and R4000 cash,” Manuel says.The other suspect jumped over the coun-

ter and took a box containing R11 000 aswell as cartons of cigarettes to the value ofR8000.Suspects then ran in the direction of Lock-

erby Road, Rondebosch East where a thirdsuspect was waiting in a getaway car.The one suspect can be identified by the

complainant. No shots were fired and no in-juries were sustained.

MANENBERG

On a breakfrom realitySAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

Aholiday programmehas given a groupof Manenberg youth a break from theeveryday ills they face.

After living in the area for many years,Johanna Smith says she grew tired of see-ing the youth engulfed in gangsterism,drugs and a life of crime.Smith then started the programme aimed

specifically at children exposed to drugabuse in the hope of keeping them off thestreets and away from drugs.And, she believes, the inaugural pro-

gramme instilled a sense of passion for hercommunity.“Children are aspiring to be gangsters

and live a life of crime. This is all they knowand we need to change that. An eight-year-old came up to me and said he would liketo be a gangster because that is cool. Thatbroke my heart,” she says.Backedby government funding andGod’s

People Ministries church, based in Manen-berg, Smith and other facilitators held ex-tensiveworkshops at the programmewhichincluded talks on key issues such as drugs,abuse and teenage pregnancy.The programme ran from Monday 12 to

Friday 16 January and was based at theGreens.Smith says about 150 children attended

daily and they were overwhelmed at the

success of the programme.“We did not expect this many children to

be interested in the programme. I must alsosay the facilitators impressed me as well.Theyknew just how to get the rightmessageacross,” she says.Although the club endedonFriday, Smith

also took a group of 45 children aged be-tween 12 and 18 years old away for theweek-end where they enjoyed a hike and semi-nars on how to forgive and let go of rage.“We took the children to the Hottentots

Mountains. I love themountains and I wantto motivate the children and show themthat there ismore to life than just crime andviolence.“I know they can’t change in oneweekend

but at least they will have a break. Gang-sterism and drugs is the life they know butseeing what else God has created will begood for them.”Smith says anyone canmake a difference

and that it starts at home.“Parents must stand together and help

their children. Don’t cover up for themwhen you know they are wrong. Don’t waitfor someone else, you can help your ownchild,” she says.Smith plans to continue the programme

every year during the school holidays andhopes to make a difference in the youths’lives.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”,SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

TRIBUTE

Vanguard Drive renamedTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

#@LeeLaVidaLoca

Amentor, a father, a leader anda friend is how ProfessorJakes Gerwel will be remem-

bered.On what would have been Ger-

wel’s 69th birthday, representa-tives of the Gerwel family, theMandela Rhodes Foundation, theSuidoosterfees committee and oth-er distinguished guests gatheredon the corner of Vanguard andKlipfontein Road to unveil JakesGerwel Drive.Following the passing of Gerwel

on 28 November 2012, the MandelaRhodes Foundation approachedthe City of Cape Town with thewish to pay tribute to his legacy.The City’s Naming Committee

approved the proposal to renameVanguard Drive to Jakes GerwelDrive in April last year.The decision to rename Van-

guard Drive to Jakes Gerwel Drivewas based on its geographical im-portance in Gerwel’s life.In her speech at the renaming

ceremony on Sunday,mayor Patri-cia de Lille touched on the fact thatover four decades of Gerwel’s lifewere spent on the Cape Flats,“whichmakes hima true son of theCape Town soil”.“He was a signatory of the City

of Cape Town’s Civic HonoursBook – one of the highest civic hon-ours bestowed by the City to indi-viduals who have made a signifi-cant contribution in business, aca-demia and leadership,” sheexplained.

“It is therefore only fitting thathis achievements and contributionto our city and country bememori-alised in this manner.VanguardDrivewas chosen for its geographi-cal significance in the life ofProfes-sor Gerwel, as he spent a large partof his life living andworking in thesuburbs found along this road.”De Lille felt the choice to rename

VanguardDrivewas evenmore ap-propriate if one considers the defi-nition of vanguard, which is “to bein position at the forefront of newdevelopments or ideas”.“ProfessorGerwelwas one of the

stalwarts in the vanguard of ournew democracy – a courageousleader who stood firm for what hebelieved was right,” she said.“We saw this when he became

rector of the University of theWestern Cape during the late 1980sand decided to open up student en-rolment to the entire population

rather than just the coloured popu-lation. This was a bold act deeplyrooted in his belief in the spirit ofinclusivity.”Heinrich Gerwel smiled as he re-

membered his father and statedthat the gesture to rename a roadafter his father will serve as a con-stant reminder of his father’s beliefin the idea of togetherness and hu-manity.“When he was still alive, my fa-

ther’s hometown committee madea suggestion to name a road afterhim and he was always worriedand joked about getting arrestedwhile driving in his own street.Now that he has passed on that isno longer a worry and I hope thatas we travel down Jakes GerwelDrive we will always be remindedof the legacyhehas left us,”he said.Heinrich added that his father

had a deep love for his family andthat he hoped the Gerwel familywould remember his father’s lastwishes when travelling alongJakes Gerwel Drive.“Iwill always rememberhowmy

father taught me to play cricketand said you should always playstraight. He loved his family andthe idea of family. His last wordsto my mother and me was that weshould live in peace with one an-other. Thank you to my family forwhat they meant to him. May ev-eryone who travels this road be re-minded to live in peace with oneanother andbuild abetter society.”Chairperson of the Mandela

Rhodes Foundation and friend ofGerwel, ProfessorNjabuloNdebelesaid all people are linked through

highways and roads.“Theybringus togetherwhenwe

travel to work, family or publicspaces and in that way we are allconnected. Therefore I think it isonly fitting to honour the memory

of a manwho believed in inclusivi-ty and bringing people together –by naming a road after him,” saidNdebele.“In that way he will always be

alive and among us.”

CAPRI

Invite to Run the RoodebergMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

In the early hours on Saturday 24 Janu-ary, walkers, runners and nature loversacross Cape Town will be preparing to

Run the Roodeberg. A bold campaign tohelp preserve and enjoy the mountainslopes behind Capri has taken shape.In January last year,WWFSouthAfrica,

the Table Mountain Fund and South Afri-can National Parks set out to obtain twopieces of privately owned land for incorpo-ration into the Table Mountain National

Park (TMNP). They launched their cam-paign, called Restore the Roodeberg, andlobbied to raise R9.2m to acquire the re-maining properties on the northern sec-tion.In a statement issued in July, the conser-

vation bodies announced they had boughtthe 134ha property, one of the two piecesof land. Following this campaign, theCapriNeighbourhood Watch launched the Runthe Roodeberg event.Watchmember Eric Riemann says along

with efforts to raise funds for the CapriCCTV camera project, the watch sought a

sustainable model to fund the project.They conceptualised the running event

which will see 250 participants take to thehiking trails to take in breathtaking viewsof the mountainscape and help raise fundsfor the Restore the Roodeberg campaign.Riemann says the event will consist of

two trails of 16km and 6km respectively.According to their website, runners will

start the 16km race by crossing the foot-bridge that divides the Navy’s land fromTMNP, passing the Glencairn Stables andclimbing up to the top of Glencairn Pass.For the 6km race, runners will start at

the same point but after the 3km mark ittakes a left turn and rewards the runnerswith some fun fast flowing tracks.Riemann says participants pay R90 for

the 6km and R150 for the 16km; R50 of eachentrywill go towards the campaign.The re-mainder of the funds will cover operation-al costs and go towards the Capri Neigh-bourhood Watch. They plan to publish thefinancials to ensure transparency. “Theevent is about celebrating community col-laboration to help restore the Roodebergand improve safety of residents in Capri.”V Register on www.runtheroodeberg.co.za.

Animals in circuses a cruel practiceA visit to the circus can be a magicalexperience, with human artists perform-ing wonderful feats. But when it comesto performing animals, sadly it is adifferent story.

Life under the big top is not thewholesome, fun-loving, educationalexperience the circus industry would likeyou to believe.

For the animals, life is a monotonousand brutal routine of boredom, stress andpain. In short, travelling animal actsperpetuate animal cruelty, inhumanecare, public safety hazards and distortedimages of wildlife and domestic animals.

Animals are not actors, spectacles toimprison and gawk at, or even circusclowns. Yet thousands of these animalsare forced to perform silly, confusingtricks under the threat of physicalpunishment.

They are carted across the country incramped and stuffy trailers, are keptchained or caged in barren, boringenclosures and separated from their own– all for the sake of ‘human entertain-ment’. Many of these animals even paywith their lives.

What we do not see is how theseanimals are trained and live behind thecircus ring. Circus animals are confinedvirtually all of their lives in barrenconditions, while forced to suffer extremephysical and psychological deprivation.

They spend virtually 96% of their livesin chains or cages.

They travel over long distances in box

carts with no climate control. They sleep,eat and defecate in the same cage.

When allowed out, these animals aretrained using extreme discipline methodssuch as whipping, hitting, poking andshocking them with electrical prods.

Wild animal acts also pose a significantthreat to public health and safety. Circuselephants may carry tuberculosis (TB),and can infect humans with the bacterialdisease. Public records show that manycircuses have used TB-positive elephantsin public performances. Local lawenforcement agencies may be forced todeal with an animal that have escaped.

Since the 1990s circuses have beenresponsible for many injuries to humansworldwide.

There was a time when a circus mayhave represented the only exposure achild had to a wild animal. Today ourchildren learn early in school andthrough programmes on TV that wildanimals live fascinating lives in theirnatural habitat, and have natural in-stincts developed over thousands ofyears. Performing in circuses goesagainst every natural instinct andconstitutes cruelty of the worst kind.

When kids see the negative messagescircuses send, it completely contradictsthese lessons.

The circus industry claims it onlytrains animals to do the types of tricksthey might naturally perform in the wild.In reality, animals in the wild live theirlives looking for food, sleeping or raising

their young.Costumed animals lying on their backs

spinning giant balls, tigers jumpingthrough flames, or elephants walking ontheir hind legs then balancing on theirheads, are not natural behaviour. Haveyou ever seen a wild elephant do that?

When circuses portray unnatural andinaccurate images of how wild animalslive and act in such an unrealisticcontext, this creates a greater disconnectbetween people and wild animals,promoting the notion that it is accepta-ble, even enjoyable, to exploit animals forentertainment.

Circuses perpetuate an outdatedattitude that wild animals are ours to useat any cost to their welfare – an attitudeanimal protection groups, wildlifeorganisations and zoos work tirelessly tocounteract through outreach and educa-tion. Many countries have banned thiscruelty and it is time we take a firmstand on it, too.

I and many other people do not thinkcircuses need to feature animals to beentertaining. We respect and admire thehuman performers, who work tirelesslyto perfect their art and I would buytickets to support them. However, it isthe animals in the circus that stop mefrom doing so.

I wonder how many animal lovers havestopped going to circuses and standoutside trying to stop this cruel practice.

Matrics need helpto boost resultsAs we start the 2015 school year, the 2014academic results will be the maindiscussion point in school staff rooms.

The inability to read, write andcalculate properly are the main reasonsusually given for poor academic perform-ance.

Reading, writing and mathematicalskills are no doubt the foundation ofadequate performance in school subjects.

At government schools the lack ofconcentration, parental support andintellectual capacity and potential, aswell as poverty, are often cited as theroot causes of these problems.

How do these schools, however, deter-mine the extent and severity of thesecauses? What percentage of those labelledas struggling pupils have been formallyassessed by relevant professionals toaccurately identify this and to, moreimportantly, successfully and concretelyassist such pupils?

The education department has supportteams consisting of social workers,

psychologists and more in every district.How adequate are these teams – in termsof the number of staff available to assiststruggling pupils in mainstream schoolsand the number of pupils they successful-ly assisted to improve their performance?

How many psychologists, for example,are available per number of pupils? Dothese teams include speech therapists,occupational therapists and other remedi-al teaching experts like we find atprivate schools? Is this in proportion tothe needs of our pupils and schools?GINO CONTALDI,Tafelsig

Lose weight. Quit smoking. Save money.These are some of the New Year’s resolutions that most

of us have tried (and failed) year in and year out.Maybe we should try a new resolution this year. Some-

thing less selfish, less concerned with how we look or ourbank balance.

Let 2015 be the year we resolve to care for each other.Let it be the year we resolve to take care of our commu-

nities.All too often we look to the police, council, religious or

community leaders to fix the problems on our doorstep.But the responsibility lies with each and every one of us.

Let’s resolve to be active citizens this year.Report service delivery problems to council as soon as

they take place. And if they are not fixed in a reasonabletime, escalate the complaint. Educate your neighboursnot to damage council property, as it not only delays ser-vice delivery, but also chews up funding that could beused to beautify your neighbourhood.

Let’s resolve to take pride in our homes.If each one of us cleans in front of our homes, the entire

street will be clean. Maintain your home to the best ofyour ability.Don’t standbyandwatchvandalism flourishin our neighbourhoods. Educate those around you aboutthe impacts of littering and dumping.

Let’s resolve to live on safer streets. Report crime – nomatterhowsmall – so that police canbuild accurate statis-tics and allocated resources more efficiently. Form aneighbourhood watch and work with your neighbours tokeep your suburb safe. Patrol your street and ask stran-gers why they are there and if you can assist them.

Our communities belong to us, and if each of us investsin them the returns have the potential to be enormous.

Let’s resolve to make ourselves happier, not by losingweight or quitting a habit, but by creating communitiesin which we feel safe and proud.

Glenthorn wins 10 in a rowJOSEPH PILLAY

Though a bit rusty from the festive breakGlenthorn-Athlone returned to the ac-tion and Saturday and continued their

winning streak by beating VOB 17-3 in aWestern Province softball federation SuperLeague encounter at Turfhall Stadium.

WayneMay’sGlenthorn side sports an un-beaten record of ten victories on the trot.They have beaten Brian Lombard’s (coach)VOB side in three batting innings to capturetheir second victory over VOB in the secondround of the current season’s league cam-paign. Glenthorn dominated thematch fromthe opposition’s errors in the field and allround poor, inept performances in both thepitching and batting departments.

The valuable two pints secured from thisone-sided outing seesGlenthorn on 20 points– four ahead of second placed Falcons (16points) who have all played ten matches.

Nonetheless, VOB did not have enough ofa killer-instinct in their pitching attack.They started off with Meghan Fillmore andoccupied the mound for 2.2 of an innings.

Besides Fillmore being milked for eighthits, she also conceded eight base-on-ballswhile relief pitcher, Kara Dorrington, just

faced two batters and surrendered one hit toLisa Erasmus (1-3).

Therefore Glenthorn were able to scoretheir runs in just two frames – their first bat-ting turn yielded no runs, but in the secondand third they scored ten and seven respec-tively in two merry-go-round batting turnsthat totalled 17 runs and the demolition ofVOB within 90 minutes.

Carly Mulder, who smacked a three bag-ger over centre field topped the batting statswith 3-3, followed by Carla Swanepool (2-2),Danielle Fortune (1-1) and Nicole Fortune(1-2). Her sister, Lauren Mulder, led theGlenthorn attack on the rubber and al-though she just faced 17 batters in three in-nings, the latter earned three strike outswhile conceding five walks and one hit – asingle to Monique Fillmore (1-1).

* Westridge Yankees beat Tantasport 11-1.* St Martin’s beat Kenfac Phillies 11-5.

Meet SA’s first grandmasterIf Kenny Solomon (33) did not choose toplay chess, life could have been very dif-ferent for him.This native of Mitchell’s Plain, who now

lives in Italy, was awarded the title of chessgrandmaster after winning the Africa indi-vidual chess championship in Namibia lastmonth.He is only the second grandmaster in sub-

Saharan Africa after Amon Simutowe ofZambia and the very first South African tohave been awarded this honour.Determined to not become a statistic in a

community where gang culture and drugabuse are rife, Solomon taught himself thegame of chess after reading a book aboutformer world champion Anatoly Karpov.Two years later, Solomon won the nationalunder-16 championship.“I was exposed to gang culture from an

early age,” Solomon said. “I realised that ifI did not createmyown future, Iwouldmere-ly become a pawn in this scene, trapped in

the violent, oppressive cycle of gangsterism.Strong family values and my early interestin chess keptme away from these influencesand compelledme tomake choices aboutmyfate.”Although he currently lives in Italywhere

he competes on the European circuit, Solo-mon always returns to his home town,Mitchells Plain, to give back to the commu-nity and share his knowledge. Along withthe Department of Cultural Affairs andSport (DCAS), Solomon has organised vari-ous exhibitions inwhichhe has both partici-pated and taught youth about the game.“Kenny Solomon is a prime example of the

hero that we would like our youth to lookup to – someonewhomakes thebest of oppor-tunities, and who exceeds all expectations,”said Theuns Botha, Western Cape Ministerof Cultural Affairs and Sport.
