Protesters picketed at the organisation’s Manenberg Waterfront offices in a bid to oust leader Mario Wanza and other executive members. The organisation has come under fire for “failing the people of Manenberg” after gov- ernment terminated its contract as the imple- menting agent of the Community Work Pro- gramme. The project is an employment safe- ty net providing access to a minimum level of regular work on an ongoing basis for those in need. Proudly Manenberg chairman Mario Wan- za says: “About 200 of our members marched to Parliament on Thursday to dispute the ter- mination of our contract as this move had di- vided our organisation and the Manenberg community.” Following the loss of the contract, five of the group’s coordinators were expelled as they had been campaigning with the commu- nity in a bid take ownership of the NPO. Glenda Gain, one of the five expelled on 19 July, says no reason had been given. “At a recent meeting, members passed a vote of no confidence against the executive of the organisation. Wanza has failed the com- munity and I do not really want to go into de- tail about the matter. I was expelled without a hearing,” she says. Wanza says members had been expelled for campaigning outside the group’s structures. “Members were expelled for discrediting the leadership of Proudly Manenberg. In- stead of addressing their concerns to us, they went to the community,” he says. However, Marwaan Jumah, who was also expelled, says leadership failed the communi- ty after it lost the CWP contract. “We showed dissatisfaction with the lead- ers and office bearers. Members passed a vote of no confidence against the leaders, but this was disregarded. Leaders within the organi- sation say we are campaigning against them, but truth is the organisation’s name has al- ready been tarnished and now the communi- ty is trying to take the organisation back,” he says. Gain says the community must own the NPO. “Wanza doesn’t even live here in Manenberg,” she says. However Wanza counters this, saying: ”I have lived in Manenberg from the age of two until I was 29 years old. I moved out, but am living in the area again.” In an open letter to Zuma, Wanza says: “The CWP complements and strengthens our work which creates the social safety net in building our community. It provides addi- tional capacity and resources in building a new Manenberg. The CWP – at two days work per week – puts a plaster on a wound and much more needs to be done as a community to bring about change.” Wanza says a letter tabled at a meeting with Proudly Manenberg on 17 July states: “The institution will not be able to meet the service delivery levels and compliance as laid down by the Department of Cooperative Gov- ernance and Traditional Affairs. Therefore, after consultation with all stakeholders, we have no alternative as to terminate the serv- ices of Proudly Manenberg.” Wanza says they will lay a case against President Jacob Zuma.

Dear reader,
Seeing Team South Africa during the open-ing ceremony of the London Olympic Gamesfilled me with immense pride and anticipa-tion. Cameron van der Burgh winning ourfirst gold medal and smashing the worldrecord of the world 100m breaststrokewas thecherry on the cake.
Like most South Africans, and especiallyCapetonians, I naturally back a winner.
People’s behaviour and re-sponses to sport reveals a lotabout themselves. We remainglued to our TV screens whenour side is winning, but heavenforbid when the opposite ap-plies. We leave the stadium ear-ly, change the TV channel whenour side is losing or take teabreaks to avoid witnessing ourteam’s agonising defeat.Someextremists drown their sorrowswith booze (not I) and some letrip with the most colourfulCape Flats vernacular (not I).
Van der Burgh’s our goldenman right now and we’re highon his victory, just two days into the Olym-pics. His win made up for the bitter disap-pointment at our hockey, volleyball, rowing,soccer and other defeats so far.
But it’s still early days for our Olympichopefuls.
Not so for Stormers, for whom the finalwhistle has blown. Sadly, their die-hard sup-porters gave up and stopped cheering withthe same fervour displayed at the start of thegamewhen Stormers began trailing in the Su-per Rugby semi-final at Newlands.
This was when the Stormers needed theirsupporters most.
We can learn a lot from fighting ’til the bit-ter end – the Manchester United-Ajax game isa case in point.
TheRedDevils didnot accept defeat, despite
being 1-0 behind. They gave their all until thedying minute of extra time, when they scoredthe equalising goal.
On the topic of backing winners, duringmyrecent vacation a female friend and I went toClub Mykonos for a girls’ getaway. We spentthousands of rands to escape our stressors,men and children and ended up talking aboutour stressors, men and children.
At one point, we made a pact to cease dis-cussing our men, but that was shortlived.
We concluded that men areuseful for killing spiders, chang-ing light bulbs, driving, carry-ing the groceries from the bootto the house, looking after thekids, ensuring our safety andbraaing. Aswe passed other hol-idaymakers’ units and smelttheir tantalising braaivleis, be-ing skilfully executed by men, Iconfessed that I’d never braaiedand wouldn’t know how.
We did enjoy some male com-pany at the resort; in the formof “Tom”, the resident black-and-white kitty whom we fedtop quality tuna and sardines.
In return, Tom rewarded us with loyalty andlove, moving into our unit and sleeping overon a cane chair.
By the time we left for home, we had learnta lot about ourselves. I canbeannoying, losingmyself completely in a book andwhipping outmy laptop even while on holiday, to respondto urgent emails and work on a project. Myfriend found her escape in soapies.
We contented ourselves with eating out of-ten and ended up disillusioned with most ofthe food. Despite all that, we had a great time.

THE culture of disrespect toward police isthe reason Hanover Park will never winagainst gang violence.
This is according to community workerswho say that once residents start to respectthe authority of the law and speak out againstcriminals in their streets, gangs will no long-er be able to thrive.But residents hit back saying that in order
for them to give the police respect, officers inturn need to stop their alleged heavy handed-ness.Last week, numerous people contactedPeo-
ple’s Post claiming to have been assaulted bypolice within the last fortnight. These “vic-tims” allege that as long as officers “beat in-nocent people up”, no onewill trust or respectthe men in blue.“Hulle raak nou deurmekaar en attack on-
skuldige mense,” Roger “Makes” Johannessays.He points to a scar on his forehead. “I got
this last year when police raided my house.They found nothing, but the officers decidedto beat me in front of my kids, just becausethey can,” he claims.He calls his three-year-old son over. “Sê vir
haar wat dink jy van die boere,” he encourag-es the tot, who wipes at his runny nose.The boy starts swearing as bystanders
laugh.“Ek gaan vir hulle skiet met my gun wat my
pa vir my vir Christmas gekoop het,” he adds,before running off to play with friends.Bashieda Paulsen, a single mother of two
teenage boys, says the police is to blame forthe reputation they have on the streets ofHanover Park.“Even Ihave seen theminaction,” she says.
“They are rof and ombeskof, and think noth-ing of terrorising innocent people. Whatthese officers seem to forget is that there arealways witnesses to their brutality. The vio-lence is the cause of the silence. People talk.”She says that even if she was the only wit-
ness to a crime, she would not call the police.“Noways. I will not help a force that thinks
it’s okay to attack people because they arepoor and illiterate. I’ll just make like I didn’tsee anything.”But Beryl Jonas says parents set a bad ex-
ample as the authoritarians in their homes.“The most basic form of respect is shown
towards the law of the country. It is a tragedythat parents teach their children that it’s bestto turn a blind eye instead of telling the truth.It is also a sad reality that there is an alarm-ing amount of adults in our streets who areguilty of illegal activities,” she says.Youth worker Colleen Windvogel agrees
that people are “allowing the actions of a fewrough cops” to tarnish “all the police standsfor”.“Nomatterwhatwe think of them, they put
their lives on the line for us every time theyput on their uniforms. Without them, thegangs would run Hanover Park. I think it’sabout time that they are shown some re-spect.”But newly-appointed Nyanga Cluster Com-
mander, Major General Jeremy Vearey, says
it is expected of communities to help the po-lice fight crime, butmost of the time less than1% of community workers come forward tohelp fight the crime scourge.Vearey, who is the previous Mitchell’s
PlainClusterCommander, recently launchedOperation Van Rooyen, which aims to com-bat gangsterism in Hanover Park.The initiative honours Warrant Officer
John van Rooyen, who was shot and killed inDerwent Court while on duty as a member ofthe Gang Unit in 2001.Vearey says he found it sad that the com-
munity could not help in the murder investi-gation at the time. “However, a gangster waseventually arrested, convictedand is current-ly serving a life sentence,” he says.Lieutenant Lance Goliath, the spokesper-
son for Philippi police, says the force “offersa proper and professional service” and em-phasises that should anyone feel otherwise,they should raise it with stationmanagementfor investigation.“If we tackle problems in a joint venture,
success will be achievable. But sadly, only ahandful of people share information with thepolice. People choose not to say anything, andthat makes an investigation so much moredifficult,” he says.Meanwhile, Vearey says he cannot under-
stand how “those who claim to spend moreenergy, timeandmoneyongangpeacenegoti-ations” are not in a position to support andhelp relatives of victims, or victims, in Hano-ver Park more than they ought to do.ButWeldonCameron, thePhilippiCommu-
nity Police Forum hits back that peace talks,initiated by the body in conjunctionwith reli-gious leaders, “always resulted in a cease-fire”.He expressed disappointment that a public
peace declaration, which took place onWednesday at Freedom Square at the termi-nus, was interrupted by Vearey and police of-ficers who apprehended gangsters who were
preparing to publicly call a truce and apolo-gise to traumatised residents.Themenwere taken in for questioning and
were later released.“The CPF is in a position of trust within
this community and has always been instru-mental in facilitating peace. We don’t appre-ciate a dictatorship,” he says. “While we un-derstand his reasoning for dispersing thecrowd as we had not applied for a permit forthe public gathering, this was a communityinitiative aimed at restoring order.”
He says the peace talks took place twoweeks ago, and, except for one shooting inci-dent which is not suspected of being gang-re-lated, no further bloodshed had taken place.Cameron adds that the forum plans tomeet
withVearey to discuss the interruption to thegathering.

JOYOUS pandemonium ensuedat the unveiling of the new Lelie-bloem House.
The Leliebloem Extreme Makeo-ver, which ran from Friday to Sun-day, has been a major success.
Tears of joy, gasps of awe and thesound of delighted children scream-ing with excitement was the scenewhich unfolded after three days ofhard work.
The Leliebloem Child and YouthCare Centre, based in Crawford,teamed with Heart 104.9FM, localnon-profit organisation Newkidzon the Block and 1 200 volunteers togive the centre’s 84 children a com-fortable place to live.
Fresh paint, new gutters, an up-graded playground, a new vegeta-ble garden, blinds, curtains, beds,bedding, and a fresh roof are justsome of the new additions.
Liza Rossouw, marketer and fun-draiser for Leliebloem, says theproject has been much bigger thanshe anticipated.
“Hearing the children shoutingwith joy is all I wanted. A beautifulhome is all I wanted to give them,”says an emotional Rossouw.
Volunteer Melany Bam says eve-rybody is needed to make a differ-ence.
“This is an opportunity for me to
show my six-year-old daughter theneed to help others,” she says.
Heart104.9 sports anchor NickFeinberg and his son also volun-teered.
He says: “I have a soft spot for
children who are in need. It givesme the greatest of pleasure to helpout. I brought my son with me andtried to explain to him the impor-tance of giving to the less fortu-nate.”
Charne Jacobs says it brings herjoy to do good for others.
“I started volunteering last yearand I always try to offer my time toNewkidz projects. We need to re-member that we only have now, as
we don’t know what the futureholds so it’s always good to give ofyour time,” she says.
“So a thousand thank-yous to eve-rybody that has been involved inmaking this project a success.”

Hot-wiring sets car alightLAILA MAJIET
A LANSDOWNE FAMILY has been leftstranded after their car burnt out in theearly hours of yesterday morning.
Banging noises and flames alerted a neigh-bour to the car on fire in Scout Road.
It is believed someone tried to steal the carbetween 2:00 and 2:30 when they hot-wired it,causing it to set alight.
Chrystal Demas (43), the owner of the car,says criminals have no regard for those whoare struggling.
“My husband and I are unemployed. Ourcar is not insured. I have an 18-year-olddaughter who is in matric and a 20-year-olddaughter who is second year at UCT doingFilm and Media production. We just manageto make ends meet through the grace of God,”she says.
She explains that the car had not been in-sured as it had been paid off and insurancemoney could be better spent on her children’sneeds. Demas says the street lights on Scoutroad are also not working.
During an interview with People’s Post, De-mas could not hold back the tears.
She says: “We are without a car, no insur-ance, and damage to our carport. Insurancewon’t pay out for the structural damage be-cause both my husband and I are unemployedand our bond is in arrears.”
Demas has been unemployed since Decem-ber. Her husband was retrenched in June lastyear.
“They tried to steal my neighbours tyresthis morning too,” she adds.
Police have confirmed the incident.Captain Allen Manuel, the operations man-
ager at Lansdowne police station says: “Acase of malicious damage to property has beenopened.”
BURNT OUT: The car’s bonnet was open when Demas, her family and the neighbours camerunning out to see what all the commotion was about.

ADVERTORIAL
FIGHTING SPIRIT: Noleen Williams feels allathletes train hard and put in extra effort tocompete at the Olympics. She feels thereshouldn’t be a difference between payment. “Ittakes willpower and energy from all to succeed,” she says.
EQUALITY: Lizl Bode is dismayed by the incentive discrepancies and feels all people need tobe treated the same. Whether disabled orabled, she says, the athletes all represent thesame country. “People are people and all deserve to be treated equally.”
PERFORMANCE: Dean Henkel thinks all national athletes should be rewarded the same,based on their performance. “All athletes,whether they’re abled or disabled players, perform the same tasks.One year theymaydowelland the next year that may change.”
JUSTIFIED: Yusra Williams believes it is fair ifthe athletes compete in separate games. “Ifthey they were competing in the same Olympics it wouldn’t be fair, but the disabled compete in their own Olympics and the Paralympics is a bigger group than the Olympic group.”
PARALYMPIANS DESERVE MORE: MichaelForgals says it is a shame that Paralympianswill be getting less. “ I think it is horrible because the Paralympians are probably the oneswho work harder and achieve more and yetthey are rewarded less.”
EQUALITY: Clint Williams believes the Paralympians are treated as inferior. “It is unfair because both the Olympic and Paralympic athletes represent one country. If the incentiveis less for the Paralympians. it will make themfeel inferior against the ablebodied athletes.”
BEST OF THE BEST: Carlos Muya says thosewho bringmoremedals should be the oneswhoreceive more. “I think the athlete who bringsmore than five medals should be the one whogets more than the others, regardless ofwhether they are abled or disabled.”
Fool’sFool’s gold?gold?SOUTH AFRICAN Olympic athletes maybe going for gold, but the shine has beentaken off the government incentive to dis-abled athletes who bring home medals.
The SA Sports Confederation and OlympicCommittee (Sascoc) announced the incen-tives for athletes competing at the OlympicGames.The lucrative financial incentive will see
able-bodied athletes receive more than theirdisabled counterparts.Olympic athletes winning gold medals will
receive R400 000, silver medallists will getR200 000 and bronze medallists will bag R80000.Paralympic athletes winning gold medals
will receive R100 000, while silver medallistswill get R75 000 and bronzemedallists will getR40 000.People’s Post internsLuzukoZini andTar-
ren-Lee Habelgaarn asked readers whatthey thought of this discrepancy.

TAURIQ HASSEN
THE AL-NOOR Orphanage Centre inWoodstock has suffered a major setbackduring the holiest month on the Muslimcalendar, after allegations of a scam be-ing run from the home surfaced.
Throughout last week, emails alleging thatdirectors were pocketing donations spreadlike wildfire.These emails also suggest that many of the
children at the home were not orphans, butwere rather being used as bait to reel in do-nors.People’s Post has seen the email, which in-
dicated that director Amina Fonguh Madien– a Cameroon national – had been arrestedand charged under the Organised Crime Act.Madien denies all allegations of being ar-
rested and pocketing donations, and claimsthat a former employee – an IT technician –is targeting the orphanage.Madien says the former employee is
banned from the premises.“Every year something happens at Al-Noor
and our name gets damaged, but we are get-ting sick of it because now we are faced withdoing damage control,” says Madien.She claims that just before Ramadan last
year, the IT technician was arrested on thepremises for performing illegal activitiesthere.Madien says: “We fired the technician and
then banned him from ever returning, butthen he started threatening members at thehome and spreading bad rumours about Al-Noor, even reporting me to the ImmigrationDepartment on numerous occasions.”
Sergeant Hilton Malila, spokesperson forthe Woodstock police, is not aware of the ar-rest and was not informed about any arrestsbeing made at the centre.“Tomyunderstanding, shewas arrested on
mere allegations, butwas never chargedwithany crime,” says Malila.However, Madien scrapped talks of her ev-
er being arrested and claims that shewas tak-en in for questioning by the immigration de-partment at Home Affairs in June.“This is where the confusion kicked in be-
cause people thought I was being arrested,but my criminal record is clean. Worst of all,all of this is tarnishing the name of thehome,” says Madien.The news came across as “shocking” to
Malila, as the station regularly hosts severaloutreach programmes at the home.He confirms that during last year, the
Hawks Unit conducted a search operation af-ter receiving information about illegal activi-ties happening at the home.The suspect was arrested and was believed
to be threatening the home, says Malila, whoadds: “We are aware of this man and his deal-ings, so this could be a matter of sour grapesand taking revenge on the home.”Al-Noor made the headlines in 2010 when
a donor from Australia wished to fund a tripto Cape Town Stadium for the children at thecentre to see aWorldCupmatch (“Orphanageadmits cup photos are a lie”, People’s Post, 10August 2010).
It turns out that the children were nevertaken to the World Cup match and the homeadmitted to falsifying photos of the childrenat the event.Donors contacted People’s Post last week,
expressing their concerns around the claimsof Al-Noor being part of a scam.Igshaan Toeffy, a shop owner in Wood-
stock, regularly donates bread and sweets tothe home and is shocked by the allegations.“I did not know what to think, because I
have been giving to this home for quite sometime now. For me to hear that everything isbeing pocketed makes me feel as if I have notbeen doing good for anybody but the direc-tors,” says a disappointed Toeffy.However, he vowed to get clarity on the sit-
uation, promising that meetings will be heldwith the relevant parties.“I want to know what is going on,” he says.The Muslim Judicial Council released a
statement explaining that the circumstancesaround the centre had been “assessed andscrutinised”. “Weare satisfied that theorgan-isation is functioning optimally in the Wood-stock area and rendering Islamic services tothe community,” it reads.The MJC is now encouraging the public to
continue supporting the centre and contrib-uting “generously to this worthy cause”.

Smoke signalsTHE Western Cape is burning.
Election promises have been found want-ing in Mitchell’s Plain, Philippi, Manenberg,Nyanga, Gugulethu, Sir Lowry’s Pass Village,Grabouw and Botrivier.
The hourglass of patience tested, the peopleof this province have stopped asking andwaiting for government to honour thesepromises. It is, after all, 18 years into SouthAfrica’s democracy.
The time is now for the government to stepup and deliver. Voters have taken to thestreets in droves throughout the province toprotest poor or non-existent service deliveryand education.
In the aftermath, the streets are litteredwith bricks and the debris of overturnedtrash cans, damaged street lamp poles, thecharred remains of tyres and the notoriouspeak-hour traffic has been diverted from ma-jor roads. The N2 and Sir Lowry’s Pass havebeen closed to traffic during the protests.
Instead of listening – and acting upon thepleas of the people – the government has re-sponded with brute force.
Their answer? Some protesters were arrest-ed and hurt during skirmishes with the po-lice.
Outraged protesters were quietened withtear gas, rubber bullets and a water cannon.
Setting alight public facilities such asschools must be frowned upon.
Other ratepayers may have little empathyfor such actions, but they may not be the onesadversely affected by the failures of govern-ment to provide basic services.
It makes little sense to damage infrastruc-ture and government property – meant foruse by the people. Especially in view thereofthat, nearly two decades later, attempts by thedemocratically-elected government remainsterile in addressing basic needs.
Harking to the media visuals of the heightof anti-apartheid protests, the city aflame re-sembles the burning hopes of many.
Or, perhaps, their hopes have regressed in-to ashes.
THE ugly face of the death penalty when ayoung woman was publicly executed in Afghan-istan shocked many of us. It never has a prettyface and can never be “humane”. I was a youngboy of 12 when first encountering the death pen-alty.
A young man killed his lover and her motherin my birthplace, Cradock. He attempted sui-cide, but was later executed. That day I decidedto devote my life to the fight against this vileform of punishment.
Through the years I’ve written numerous let-ters to papers nationally to make people thinkhow despicably it is used in different countries.
More than half the countries of the worldhave already abolished it.
Not one desires to reintroduce this Trojanhorse. The bullying tactics of the super powersto continue using it for their own dubious endsis a big stumbling block. China at one stage had67 capital offences, nowadays about 56. In theUSA and several others, like Saudi Arabia,
even youngsters and the mentally challengedcan be executed.
The death penalty is very emotional and sen-sitive and causes untold anxiety to both parties,the victim, the perpetrator and their families.
No scientific or empirical evidence that thedeath penalty has deterrent value has emergedand never will. Politicians should introduce alaw making this claim a criminal offence.
Many countries have come to SA seeking tolearn how it was ever possible to extricate our-selves from our disastrous past.
Others will unfortunately never be success-ful in unshackling themselves from theirs with-out paying a monstrous price in the loss of hu-man life, relationships and infrastructure.
The death penalty is a violent act and will al-ways lead to more violence. There is nothinggood about it.
Anyone who supports the death penalty ishimself a potential murderer.KOERT U MEYER
Death penalty is no solution
WHO is accountable for this out-of-characterdecision to build a skateboard park when weare in such desperate need of upgrading therun-down sports fields for soccer all over the
Western Cape (“Sports splurge ‘a waste’”, Peo-ple’s Post, 10 July)?SPENCER COURTISwww.peoplespost.co.za
Who is making these decisions?
I TOTALLY agree with you. I’ve walked pastthis structure numerous times and children aresliding down there on makeshift boards. This
is more of a hazard than anything.SAMANTHA FEBRUARYwww.peoplespost.co.za
Makeshift skateboards a hazard
. As a resident of Hanover Park, Ithink it would be good for the armyto patrol our area. The police arepresent, but never when they areneeded. I don’t think the police arecapable of controlling the ongoingviolence in our communities. Thepolice stop innocent hardworkingpeople in the streets to body searchand humiliate them. Don’t theyknow it is those dressed so smartand driving smart cars who are thescum of these communities? And itis not unemployment that is theproblem as 80% of people are em-ployed. It is those “hardworking”gangsters who shoot early morningand late night. It is also some young-sters trying to be gangsters who areshooting – they can’t even aim prop-erly. So please, madam Premier,I’m begging you to send the armysoon. Anonymous
. In response to the SMS from“W”: who in their right mind wouldwant to put a gangster – possibly aconvicted criminal – in uniform?Most of us wear uniforms withpride. It’s not just a job, it is an hon-our.
. Why are there asinine “come-dy” shows on SABC3 on Mondaysnights? Why do they make us waituntil after 22.00 for a intelligent pro-gramme like CSI? Maggie James
. Is the pet registration cut-offdate 31 July or 31 August? Bothdates are shown in the article inPeople’sPostof 24 July.People’sPostapologises for the error. The correctdate is Friday 31 August.
. Is the campaign to registeryour pet a big joke? Rather registerdrug lords and gangsters. The cam-paign will never work what with la-zy officials in a dysfunctional sys-tem.

THE time of the emergence of Pagad (Peopleagainst Gangsterism and Drugs) is the onlytime there was the least number of drug densand gang violence seriously dropped.Whatwas the response from thepowers thatbe?To establish a police unit concentrated sole-ly on Pagad.The result of their action was Pagad almostclosing.What is the result of the police action?Mul-
tiplication of drug dens and rampant gangvio-lence.In Hanover Park and innocent girl is raped(and) the police opens a case and docket.(An) innocent person is robbed (and the) po-
lice opens a case and docket.(An) innocent person is murdered (and the)police opens a case and docket.(An) innocent family has their house bur-gled (and the) police opens a case and docket.
Innocent people are shot and killed in gangviolence (and the) police opens a case anddocket.Now see the police inconsistency. Gangsthat killed innocent persons declare a truceor ceasefire or stop gunfire – call it what youwant.The fact that they now call a ceasefire is anadmission they were involved in killing inno-cent people.(The) result (is) that cases don’t get followedthrough. (The) docket is closed; (the) case isclosed.The rapist/burglar/murderer/robber nowcomes out and say they will stop their activi-ties.(A) newspaper headline analyst claimsgangs and police are in cahoots.Let the people be the judge of that state-
ment.DANIEL RASS
Gang violence: who is to blame?
I HAVE known (of) People’s Post for manyyears, but confess I have never been an avidreader until recently.I particularly enjoyedyour columnonMan-
dela Day and District Six last week and I toldmyself I won’t be missing any of your futureeditions.This week I read your column “Rememberthe spirit” focusing on the (Muslim) holymonth of Ramadan. I found the piece informa-tive and well-written.Sometimes it is very easy for people andmany readers in general to simply turn to the
next page when they see a topic that is not intheir interest or directly affecting their livesand move to the sport or news page.Imust say I admireyourability tomake cur-rent but over-covered topics interesting toread.Mandela Day and Ramadan are topics weare bombarded (with) by the daily main-stream (media) all day and to read anythingabout them in aweekly becomes taboo. Pleasekeep up about the good work and congratula-tions to the entire team.SIVUYILE MBAMBATO

IF YOU read andwatch the news, youwillknow there are areas in Cape Town re-garded as no-go areas for those frommoreaffluent suburbs.So it was not surprising that I was a lit-tle nervous as I joined others to visit atownship area.Having offered our support to the Amy
Biehl Foundation onMandela Day, it wasfelt that we should see the work to knowwhere our services could be of assistance.My fears were soon allayed by some ofthe more experienced volunteers whotravel in daily to assist with afterschoolprogrammes in several townships ofCapeTown.One of them, an 18-year-old Irish wom-an student who is here for eight weeks,told me about the enthusiastic responseof the children to a winter school pro-gramme which they had been runningduring the mid-year break.It is her secondvisit to SouthAfrica andshe was obviously revelling in the oppor-tunity to make a contribution to the livesof the children.Ourvehicle packedwith loaves of breadaswell as volunteers, we headed off to Gu-guletu.This is an area started in the late ’70s
to re-house people from Crossroads. It isnow a vibrant mixture of well-built smallhouses intermixed with a maze of rustedcorrugated structures, built from second-hand building materials.Our driver had to weave between infor-mal soccer games, dogs and parked cars,as well as navigate the potholed roads.Eventually we reached our first schoolwhere we dropped off an American stu-dent who has been teaching children toplay the guitar.He told me on his first day there were70 children in the class.Now that they have split them into two
groups, he finds it much easier.He appreciates the opportunity, not on-ly because he has been able to help thechildren, but also because it has been anopportunity for him to grow and see a dif-ferent side of South African life to thatportrayed in the media.At John Palma Primary School we of-floaded 35 loaves of bread.I later discovered thesewere to bemadeinto sandwiches to feed learners who at-tended the programme.The classes mainly centre on sport andcreative arts, as well as dealing with so-cial issues.In one classroom older students werediscussing what they thought was theright age for a girl to get pregnant and
when they should getmarried. In anotherroom, the children were learning to playthe violin andhappily gaveus their rendi-tion of Baa Baa Black Sheep.The marimba band and dance groupshowed off their skills and the foundationclass sang Happy Birthday, Madibawhich finished with them counting fromone to 94.As we left John Palma to move to ournext school, I felt a sensehope for a bright-er future for these children.Fortunately through the work of thesevolunteers they are being protected andguided fromthenegativepressureswhichthey would otherwise face had they sim-ply roamed the streets at the end of eachschool day.Nomlinganiselo Primary was the nextschool to visit.Their afternoon programme had fin-ished, but the children assembled in theplayground and sang Happy Birthday,Madiba.We helped distribute sandwiches andcool drinks to the children.Our driver drew my attention to theschool crest of an old woman dressed intraditional attire.He informed me the school name
means ‘I’mnot educated but Iwill educatemy own’.Guguletu is very different from theclosed security-conscious suburbs themore affluent of Cape Town live.It has its own challenges, but there isno longer the feeling of suspicion and ani-mosity which was there in the early ’90s.It was during this period that Amy Biehl,the young American Fullbright scholar,was brutally murdered simply becauseshe was white and in the wrong place atthe wrong time.Four young men were convicted andsentenced for her murder.Thankfully, through the Truth andRec-onciliationCommission (TRC), thosewhocommitted this crime were pardoned andforgiven – not only by the TRC, but alsoby Amy’s parents. Two of these youngmen are now involved in the Amy BiehlFoundationworking tomake a success, ofnot only their lives, but the lives of others.Through their support and the support ofmany others, the Foundation started toorganise programmes to develop and em-power the youth in the challenged andvulnerable communities of the WesternCape.Working in various schools they arereaching over 2000 children and makingevery day a “Mandela Day”.ROGER WOOD

FOUR dedicated young HanoverPark karateka will showcasetheir talents at the Reunion – anisland east of Madagascar – inSeptember.
The four karate kids were select-ed to represent the national teamaf-ter impressing selectors at the Ky-okushinkai National Champion-ships in Port Elizabeth last month.At the tournament Keagan Dan-
iels, Najmunesa Jacobs, MeganArends and Naasik Kamish all wontheir respective divisions.The four were among the more
than 500 karate practitioners fromacross SA at nationals, held at theNelson Mandela Metropole Univer-sity. Their achievement of being se-lected to wear the green and gold iseven more impressive when theircircumstances are taken into ac-count.Sensei Deen Daniels, head in-
structor of the Hanover Park andRuyterwacht Kyokushin Karatedojos, says the students overcameseveral challenges.“These kids are at risk all the
time. They have to walk throughthe flats to get to club. There is theodd chance they might be walkingwhen the gangs are doing theirthing,” says Daniels.“So I think in that regards it is
quite a special achievement. Theyhave the option of doing this or suc-cumbing to peer pressure – theychoose to do this.”They train in the hall of Crystal
High School at least twice a weekand also at a venue in Ruyterwacht.“I pick up some of the students, butI can’t pick them all up. We finishat 20:00 when Hanover Park is at itsquietest. Even ourselves inside thisbuilding . . . you never quite feel se-cure.”The school does not have gates or
fencing as it was stolen.In spite of these difficulties, Kea-
gan won his division at the tourna-
ment for the second consecutivetimeandalso competed in themen’sdivision.The 17-year-old Crystal High pu-
pil says karate is his passion andhopes to make it his career. “I justwant to go as far as this allows meto. I want to reach the highest levelthat there is – the 10th dan,” he com-ments.“If you are a high rank in the
world, you travel the world, com-peting, free of charge.”Keagan has been practising kara-
te since the age of four and hopesto follow in his uncle Deen’s foot-steps, running his own dojo.Najmunesa, who won her divi-
sion and was disqualified in the fi-nal of thewomen’s final, has also sether sights on a high rank and herown dojo. Her short term goal is tobeat her competitors to the top spotin Reunion.
“In my group I want to win, butI want to fight women and win forour country,” says Najmunesa.“I train everyday; karate is my
life and that’s what I want toachieve in life.”Both Najmunesa and Keagan are
black belts and assistant instruc-tors at the dojo.Eleven of Daniels’ students took
part in nationals, with 10 returningwith medals in one or more event.The four who will represent SA
all participated in the full contactevents, while the others showedtheir skills in the semi-contact com-petition.The SA representatives have to
cover their own transport costs toReunion, with the club hosting afunfair as a fundraiser.Anyone interested in assisting
the dojo can contact Daniels0 082 978 2508.

Gift grates local OlympiansGiftGift gratesgrates locallocal OlympiansOlympiansLIAM MOSES
CLAIMS of inferior quality gifts to Olym-pic athletes have been brushed aside bythe provincial Department of Cultural Af-fairs and Sport.
The gifts were handed to local Olympic ath-letes at the send-off when 35 athletes, officials,coaches and managers were honoured at Ath-lone Stadium on Tuesday 10 July.
Alison Smith, the sister of an Olympic ath-lete, wrote to People’s Post highlighting thepoor quality of a framed Olympic T-shirt.
From the front the framework seems in-tact, but on the reverse the T-shirt is tacked
to the frame with pins. In the image some ofthe pins have fallen off and there is no card-board or other backing to secure the T-shirt.The overall look is that the framing is incom-plete.
She does not want her brother’s name men-tioned, adding athletes are not allowed tospeak to the media about the Olympics.
“I just thought it was very poor and it feltlike a bit of a kick in the teeth. All the athleteshave been working really hard to get to thisplace and I just don’t think they can proudlyaccept something like that,” says Smith.
“It looks like something a child has done.I would think it would be really nice for theWestern Cape sports people to be recognised,
but with something like that I just felt it isvery poor.”
The athletes also received gift bags contain-ing, among others small gifts, a scarf in aSouth African flag print.
In response, MEC for the Department ofCultural Affairs and Sport, Dr Ivan Meyer,says the athletes should “be grateful” for thegifts.
Refusing to specifically speak on the T-shirt, Meyer would also not elaborate on whowas responsible for the framing or how muchit cost.
“In the African tradition one is alwaysgrateful for whatever gift one receives as webelieve it is not the size of the gift, but the
thought that counts,” says Meyer.He says the provincial government
“thought it fit to honour Western Cape Olym-pic athletes. This we did within the contextof the understanding that taxpayers’ moneymust be spent responsibly and ... not reckless-ly on expensive gifts or elaborate functions”.
The Olympians should remember they areserving their country, Meyer adds.
