This is what a Hanover Park woman allegedly endured last Mon- day while shopping at the local Sho- prite at the terminus. Wedaad Daniels (22) said she was doing her monthly shopping that day, accompanied by her two young sisters and her four-year-old daugh- ter. “While I was walking through the aisles, I noticed that a security guard was following me. I decided to ignore him and continued getting my groceries. But after a while I thought that it was ridiculous and I approached him.” She claims she asked him in a calm and dignified manner why he was shadowing her across the store. “He just exploded. He screamed at me that I was a thief and said that he had caught me in September stealing cupcake holders, of all things. The manner in which he was performing attracted every- one’s attention. I was left humiliat- ed and speechless,” she says. Faced with the tirade, Daniels de- manded to speak to the store’s man- ager, and claims that after she ap- proached her, she was initially ig- nored. “I wouldn’t back down and I in- sisted that she listen to my com- plaint. She then took me to an office, with the security guard in tow. In the room, the security guard contin- ued to scream at me. I told the guard that if he was so convinced that it was me, I wanted to see proof of his allegations.” Daniels says a book was then brought to the office, containing the names and ID numbers of people who had been caught shoplifting at the branch. “Obviously, my name didn’t ap- pear in the book. When the manag- er realised there must have been a mistake, she countered that they were only doing their jobs. But in the background, the security guard continued to insist that I was a thief.” She eventually left the shop – two hours after her ordeal started. “I made it clear to them that I would make a civil case against them for harassing me and infring- ing on my right to dignity,” an irate Daniels says. On Friday, she returned to the store with her 14-year-old sister to request the security guard’s name so that she could lay a formal com- plaint. “I went up to him and polite- ly asked him for his name. He told me to get lost because I am spoiling his day. However, I was not pre- pared to back down and soon we were joined by another guard, who I also asked to provide me with the officer’s name. “He told me to phone someone up, because he was not going to give me that details.” Not prepared to leave without a way of identifying the officer, Dan- iels took a photo of the officer. “When he saw what I was doing, he grabbed me by the neck and choked me, before throwing me against my sister. Everyone saw what happened and a manager came to me and said that I should lay a charge with the company, and not complain to the branch staff. How can they just treat people like this?” Her father, Achmat Noble, insists that his daughter has grounds for both a civil suit and a criminal case against the officer. “Besides the physical harm he caused her, he insulted her integri- ty and damaged her good name. They are always accusing people of all types of activity and, because no- body ever says anything, they think they can get away with it. This time, they messed with the wrong peo- ple.” In a statement released by Sho- prite in response to the allegations, a spokesperson denied that Daniels had been held at the office against her will, claiming that her “request for information” – and her own choice of waiting for it – led to her spending the extended period at the store. The spokesperson said Daniels’ account of the incident did not cor- respond with the store’s account “in all aspects”. However, the spokesperson said the security guard had been sus- pended from duty at the branch and the security company had been in- formed of the “level of service and quality of behaviour Shoprite ex- pects from their security person- nel”. “The Shoprite supermarket chain places great value on provid- ing our customers with a conven- ient and pleasant shopping envi- ronment, and would therefore like to offer its apologies to Ms Daniels for any unpleasant experiences she may have had at the store last week,” the statement reads. “In order to protect customers, its premises and stock as far as it is in its power to do so, the Shoprite su- permarket chain contracts the serv- ices of security personnel. “Although tasked with the re- sponsibility to investigate behav- iour which they find to be suspi- cious, the security personnel are ex- pected to conduct their duties with due regard for the dignity of all our customers.” The spokesperson said that if any action was required, the proper pro- cedures and channels needed to be followed, which included contact- ing the authorities so that the law could take its course. “Any behaviour brought to our attention which is contrary to this practice will be dealt with in the ap- propriate manner.” INJURED: Wedaad Daniels shows off the scarring on her neck, allegedly in- flicted by a security officer at Shoprite in Hanover Park.

Guard suspended after assaultTAMMY PETERSEN
ACCUSED of being a thief,questioned and treated like
a common criminal.
This is what a Hanover Parkwoman allegedly endured last Mon-day while shopping at the local Sho-prite at the terminus.
Wedaad Daniels (22) said she wasdoing her monthly shopping thatday, accompanied by her two youngsisters and her four-year-old daugh-ter.
“While I was walking through theaisles, I noticed that a securityguard was following me. I decidedto ignore him and continued gettingmy groceries. But after a while Ithought that it was ridiculous andI approached him.”

Creating jobs, touching lives – it’s a giftTHIS week, Proudly South African (ProudlySA) features essay GIFTS and the role thecompany plays in making a real difference intouching lives and creating sustainable jobsin South Africa.
“In May 2006 essay GIFTS secured its firstorder from the City of Johannesburg for 5 000gifts and this created temp jobs for 50 people,in an area with an 80 percent unemploymentrate,” says Beatrice Delpierre, operations di-rector for essay GIFTS.
“We delivered on our promise to the Cityand presented them with world class gifts intime for the 2010 World Cup hand-over cere-mony in Germany.”
The company achieves its success by facili-tating business opportunities between theformal economy, corporate entities and gov-ernment clients and the informal sector.“Specifically, we work with rural craftersand young designers in the corporate, promo-tional, complimentary gifting and the confer-
ence accessories industries,” says Delpierre.“We act as a bridge between our clients and
our partner factories and manage the processto ensure that these small businesses delivera world class product on time, every time.Our aim is to assist specifically disadvan-taged communities that lack access to themarket and don’t know how to engage in thebusiness economy.”
She says they also promote the meaningfulintegration of low technology, hand-madeand low-cost products into an economy thattoday competes with Chinese products. Theintegration requires expensive technologyand is mass produced.
The main task of essay GIFTS is to motivatethe clients and market to invest their promo-tional budgets in the partner factories.
Although locally produced gifts can bemore expensive than imported items, the ad-ditional cost of producing gifts not only inSouth Africa, but specifically by rural pro-
ducers, provides the client with a valuablebrandbuildingopportunity –namely, demon-strating that they support employment crea-tion.
This in turn assists with building their so-cial capital and goodwill among their stake-holders.
She says one of the biggest challenges foressay GIFTS has been to access the market,as the industry is flooded with cheap importsfrom the East. “When we entered the marketthere was a lot of scepticism from potentialclients due to their previous experience withlocal manufacturers, such as late deliveryand bad quality products.”
All the products are sold at Santé WellnessCentre in Paarl and sales agents.
“The company started with one staff mem-ber in the office and four employees in ourceramic factory, with not one single product.Five years later, we have four staff membersworking in our two regional offices and em-
ploy 31 full time staff at our ceramic factory.”Delpierre says developing essay GIFTS has
been a learning process. “We have had manysuccesses and learnt from our challengesover the last five years. Temporary and full-time employment opportunities have beencreated for many low skilled and unskilledSouth Africans, and opportunities providedby essay GIFTS have enabled our productionpartners to increase the skills of their staff.
“Certainly, one of the main rewards ishearing the stories of the people we workwith every day. We’ve seen a 45-year-old disa-bledwomanearnher first income.We’ve seenthe confidence of unemployed individualsgrow after a few months, enabling them toseek better opportunities.”
The company decided to become part ofProudly SA because it shares the same val-ues, such as high quality, and locally madeproducts that respect the environment andare made under fair labour practices.
She added that anyone could achieve anydream with “hard work, passion and believ-ing in yourself”. “But the biggest reward inlife is not the money you make but the jour-ney you take to become successful. We alsobelieve in the words of Anton Rupert: ‘Themore you give away, the more you will re-ceive.’ essay GIFTS is an example of a busi-ness that was started with little cash and hassince worked on contracts with some of thetop brands in the world.”

BLOOD all over the kitchen walls and floor– this was the scene of a Tambo Village homeafter a husband killed his wife and tried tocommit suicide.
The gruesome attack happened on Thurs-day at 22:30, at a time when the 16 Days ofActivism Against Abuse of Women and Chil-dren were being highlighted.
The husband allegedly accused the wife ofhaving an affair before he stabbed her oncein the chest and slit his own throat.
Neighbours raced to the house situated onthe corners of Silverstream and MarleneRoad when they heard Eunice Mhlewa (27)screaming.
They found the bloodied bodies of the cou-ple, who had been married for only eightmonths.
“The police were alerted by the neigh-bours,” said Lieutenant Ian Bennett, Manen-berg police spokesperson.
“The woman was found with one stabwound to her chest. The 27-year-old man slithis throat and was lying close to his wife.
“The ambulance was called, the womanwas declared dead and the man was rushedto hospital.”
The husband is recovering in hospital and
is under police guard.Carlon Vigne, a social worker, says abuse
happens on a daily basis.“Abuse of women, children and even men
happens on a regular basis. When peopleabuse others, there is often an underlyinghistory. It could be the home in which theygrew up in where there was abuse – its a vi-cious cycle.”
She says people need to speak out if theyare victims of abuse.
“There is help. Professional help and as-sistance could prevent loss of lives. Peopleneed to believe in themselves and also in Godand theywill see things change for thebetter.We know there are alot of issues that peopleneed to deal with, such as unemploymentand poverty, but abuse is not the answer.”
Vigne says although it is good that 16 Daysof Activism is being celebrated, the eventshould be extended to every day.
Bennet urged those people in an abusiverelationship to get out and get the help theyneeded.
To get advice on abuse contact Carehavenin Athlone on (021) 633-5287 or Saartjie Baart-man Shelter on (021) 633-5287.

Waterfront faces takeoverTAMMY PETERSEN
PROUDLY Manenberg has vowed tooccupy the local Waterfront later to-
day following land owner Consol Glass’srefusal to meet the organisation for fur-ther discussions on the future of the pub-lic space.
The take-over comes after four membersof Proudly Manenberg were arrested fortrespassing on Thursday 24 November afterreaching a stalemate with the glass-makinggiant.
A meeting had been held that day to dis-cuss the organisation’s demands of owner-ship of the waterfront – which ProudlyManenberg transformed from a piece of bar-ren land to the green area it is today – as wellas partial ownership of the company beinggiven to the people of Manenberg.
However, after the meeting was conclud-ed, Proudly Manenberg’s four representa-tives wanted to continue the discussion andrefused to leave the premises, so Consolmanagement called the police.
Chairperson Mario Wanza and executivemembers Maudi Swartz, Dorothy Classenand Larenzo Morris were arrested and de-tained until 21:00.
On Wednesday, about 200 membersmarched “in solidarity” to the Athlone Mag-istrate’s Court, where the four made theirappearance.
The case was postponed to 22 December.However,Wanza sayshe receivedanemail
from Consol management stating that theywould withdraw the charges.
Consol’s human resources manager, Tha-mi Mkhuzangwe, says that despite the illegalsit in at Consol’s offices, it was never theirintention to have the representatives arrest-ed.
“At the time of the sit in and because ofProudly Manenberg’s refusal to leave Con-sol’s property, we had no choice but to en-gage law enforcement to assist us in remov-
ing the party from our property in an orderlyand peaceful fashion. The decision to makethe arrest was taken by the local law enforce-ment called in to manage and bring the situa-tion to order, which was compounded by thecontinued refusal of the Proudly Manenbergrepresentatives to leave the property, andtheir insistence on being arrested. To datewe have not received any formal notificationof this matter being set down for a courthearing.”
He continues that in the interim, Consolhas received a written undertaking fromProudly Manenberg confirming that this“regrettable incident” would not repeat it-self.
“A further commitment was made to stagefuture engagements within the frameworkand ambit of the law.
Therefore, in this regard, a commitmenthas been made that should we receive a for-mal approach to present ourselves for acourt hearing, we will take the opportunityto communicate to the investigating officeror prosecutor our intention not to pursue thecharges in order to diffuse the situation in
this particular instance. It is on this basis,that we confirmed that we will not be pursu-ing the trespassing charges.”
Wanza, however, saysProudlyManenbergwill not back down from its demands, whichfurther include R50 000 from the business tocover a R50 Christmas bonus to every organ-isation member. It is also further demandingthat Proudly Manenberg continues to oper-ate from the clubhouse at the Waterfront,which Consol has handed over to the Manen-berg Community Development Trust.
The trust was registered earlier this yearand is made up of representatives from vari-ous organisations.
However, Proudly Manenberg, which pre-viously held two seats on the trust, has sinceresigned, saying the trust is not “a true rep-resentation of Manenberg” owing to Consolalso holding two seats on the board.
“We will not back down and our demandsremain the same. On Tuesday, we will takeover the Waterfront and we will not bemoved until we get what we are asking for,”he said.
But Mkhuzangwe hits back that any occu-pation of non-designated Consol propertywould be an unlawful act and contrary to theorganisation’s recent undertaking not to re-peat the incidents of last week.
“Consol remains open to maintaining aconstructive dialogue with Proudly Manen-berg, one of several community organisa-tions in the greater Manenberg area whichConsol is engagingwith.Thegroup recognis-es that it has a positive contribution to maketo the communities in which it operates, andis continuing to explore ways of uplifting ofthe Manenberg community, through the ex-change of ideas with the other organisationsrepresented on the Manenberg CommunityDevelopment Trust. Until such time asProudly Manenberg withdraws its unrea-sonable demands, Consol will not be willingto engage further and these concerns havebeen expressed in writing to the organisa-tion’s leadership.”
SOLIDARITY: About 200 members of the localorganisation marched from Manenberg toAthlone.

New kids rock the blockTAURIQ HASSEN
THE Santam District Six Entertainersmay be new kids on the block, but they arecertainly proving a force to be reckonedwith.
Last week, People’s Post featured one of theoldest minstrel teams, in the form of thePennsylvanian Crooning Minstrels, “Topteam aiming for top prize (Tuesday 29 Novem-ber)”, which incorrectly indicated they were
the reigning champions.However, the real winners were in fact San-
tam District Six Entertainers, who walkedaway with the 2011 Carnival Trophy for thesecond time in their six-year history.
Early in 2005, a group of individuals withover 50 years of minstrel experience behindthem saw the need for a minstrel team to beoriginated in the very place the minstrels cul-ture began, District Six.
“The vision of this team is to become oneof the best entertaining klopse cultural
groups promoting theklopse culture and len-suring a klopse legacy,”says Mallick Laattoe,owner of the troupe.
In their first year, thetroupe “rewrote thehisto-ry books” by becomingthe first troupe to walkaway with the highesthonours in their debutcompetition.
The team obtained firstprizes in English and Af-rikaans Moppie, JuniorDrum Major, JuvenileSentimental and BestBoard. They received sec-ond prizes in EnglishCombined Chorus, AdultDrum Major, GrandMarch Pass, Exhibition, Juvenile CombinedChorus, Minstrel Song and Adult Sentimen-
tal. They also received third prizes for Afri-kaans Combined and Senior Best Band.
In total, the troupe clinched 14 of the 16 tro-phies up for grabs, justifying the statement,“Our record speaks for itself”.
For around four years, the troupe couldsmell the sweet scent of victory, but failed tolift the coveted Carnival Trophy, always end-ing up second – until last year.
But they did walk with first prize in six var-ious categories in the last six minstrel compe-titions.
“We set ourselves attainable benchmarksand through consistent communication andnetworking, this was achievable,” says Laat-toe.
Over the past year, the minstrel troupe hasbecome involved in social upliftment of thesociety, particularly the youth. It aims to pro-vide youngsters with viable alternatives tothe social ills facing the community.
The troupe successfully launched a schoolfor those interested in brass bands, and thisnow has more than 80 members.
Speaking on the upcoming competition,Laattoe said: “The task ahead is much great-er, being crowned champions and maintain-ing the statue in the klopse fraternity is adaunting task, but we are up for it.”
Santam District Six Entertainers are basedat the Bo-Kaap Civic Centre and are firm fa-vourites with the local residents.
“We are 100% geared up for the coming sea-son.
“Our slogan is ‘Impossible is nothing D6’and this we emulate throughout our prepara-tion and during the carnival,” Laattoe con-cluded.

Street renaming torepresent all culturesLIAM MOSES
THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN has an-nounced that as many as 31 streetsaround the metropole could be re-named in 2012.
The City made the announcement onThursday 1 December after the recentlyformed Naming Committee tasked theCity’s Sub-Councils and the Public Par-ticipation Unit with starting a publicparticipation process for the renaming.
Councillor Brett Heron, chairman ofthe Naming Committee, said it was im-portant that street names were repre-sentative of all cultures and groups inthe City.
“It’s important because the naming ofstreets and places is often done by gov-ernments around the world to commem-orate events or people,” said Herron.
“Naming has a symbolic value and thehistory of South Africa is such that mostof the street names were chosen duringa period where the government only rec-ognised one part of the community.
“So they only commemorate one partof the community and aren’t necessarilysignificant to other cultures.”
“What the renaming looks at is mak-ing sure the symbolism that is expressedthrough naming reflects the full diversi-ty of the city.
“It’s part of our promise to reflect thefull diversity of the city.”
According to Herron, the process of re-naming these 31 streets was started bythe City’s previous administration in
2007, when a panel of experts suggestedthe renaming to the mayor after consid-ering suggestions from the public.
The 31 streets include several roads inthe city centre, including a section ofCastle Street – which could be renamedKrotoa Street (after a Koina interpreterwho worked for the Dutch East IndiaCompany), Coen Steytler Avenue –which could be renamed Walter SisuluAvenue (after the former ANC presi-dent) and Hans Strydom Avenue – whichcould be renamed Albert Luthuli Ave-nue (after another former ANC presi-dent).
The cost of renaming the streets is notyet known but Herron said that the Citybelieved the benefits of renaming thestreets were worth the amount thatwould be spent.
“The city has to spend money of manyaspects of daily life.
“We also need to spend money to makesure that people feel included. It is partof our mandate to build an inclusivecity,” said Herron.
“To rename Helen Suzman Boulevardcost R25 000 and that’s a big road. Someof the roads that are being renamed arefairly small roads so they won’t cost thatmuch.”
“Street signs are not expensive and weneed to weigh up the value of buildingan inclusive city against the smallcost of changing the streets sign, andthe cost is relatively small.”
The public participation processwill start in mid January after thecouncil returns from its month-long
break.It is not yet known when the process
will be completed.The Renaming Committee will also
meet next year to discuss plans to amendthe City’s naming policy.
Herron added that individuals whowould be directly affected by the renam-ing of streets, such as those who live ina street earmarked for renaming, wouldbe contacted directly by the City.
The streets in the southern peninsulawhich could be renamed are:
.Vanguard Drive (Between Good-wood and Mitchell’s Plain) – GovanMbeki Drive
.The Wittebome Civic centre in Wyn-berg and the Athlone Civic Centre couldbe renamed the Wynberg Civic Centreand the Athlone Coline Williams CivicCentre.

DO NOT FLUSH THESE DOWN THE TOILET
DO NOT PLACE THESE DOWN THE SINK
Keep sewers running smoothlyTHE City of Cape Town in-curs a cost of around R60 mil-lion a year to clear sewerblockages.
As it has a limited budgetwhich is divided according toneeds, the money spent on re-pairing and clearing blockagescould rather be spent on othercommunity requirements.
Blockages are generallycaused by foreign objects suchas sheepskin, sheep skull,shoes, clothing, cutlery, news-papers, sanitary towels, dispos-able nappies, tyres and many
more items that are disposed ofvia toilets and manholes intothe sewer on a daily basis.
Foreign objects are eitherflushed or dumped deliberatelyinto the sewer system.
This causes the system toblock because it was not de-signed for these items, result-ing in sewage overflowing intothe streets and illness causedby waterborne diseases due toexposure to such unhealthy en-vironments. This also, inevita-bly, causes damage to munici-pal infrastructure.
In an attempt to reduce or
eliminate future blockages, theCity’s Water Pollution ControlDepartment encourages resi-dents to ensure that all foreignobjects are disposed of in refusebins and skips.
To ensure that sewage sys-tems run without a glitch, re-port broken and missing gullygrids, rodding eyes and man-hole covers as well as alsoblocked and overflowing

Volunteers are the life-blood of Hospice,the organisation that provides palliativecare to those suffering from life-threateningillnesses and their families.
International Volunteer Day (Monday 5December) gives the 200 member hospicesaround the country the opportunity to thankthe many volunteers without whom thepaid-for staff would not be able to providepalliative care.
Pat Gelderbloem, co-ordinator of the na-tionalHospice volunteer task team,hasbeen
employed at St Luke’s Hospice as VolunteerServices Manager since 2001.
“A volunteer is someone who has a pas-sion for doing something for others,” saysGelderbloem.
“They must be committed, the work de-fines the kind of person you are. Many ofthem are called to be involved in palliativecare because they have been on a journeywith Hospice, having lost a loved one, andthey understand the philosophy and conceptand can make a difference.” To find outabout volunteering, contact your local hos-pice (www.hpca.co.za, gives contact details).
You will then undergo orientation, havean interview and then training. Phone (021)531-2094.

Young wife battles deadly diseaseREYANA STEYN
A YOUNG woman and herfamily’s lives have been
turned upside down for nearlya year after she was diagnosedwith XDR (extensively drug re-sistant) TB.
Andaleeb Rinquest-January(27), a bubbly, strong and inde-pendent woman, was in her primewhen she discovered she had arare form of TB which is lifethreatening, in February.
Since her diagnosis it has beenan uphill battle for her family andfriends.Andaleeb’shealthdeterio-rated as she lost her appetite.
She has to take 10 tablets a day,is bed-ridden, needs 24-hour careand weighs only 30kg.
“It has been a difficult to see myeldest daughter like this,” says hermother, Shanaaz Rinquest.
“It all began in November whenshe had a bad cough. She regularlysaw the doctor and the diagnosiswould always be flu/cold or throatinfection, followed by a course ofantibiotic treatment, but she nev-er got better.”
In February Andaleeb noticed agrowth under her armpit. Thegland was drained in a surgicalprocedure but the growth re-turned.
“This prompted doctors to takesamples of the gland and sendthem for testing. The test returnedpositive for TB.
Andaleeb was then put on first-line drugs in the treatment ofstandard TB.
“She was feeling tired all thetime and resigned from her job,
losing her medical aid.”Victoria Hospital doctors dis-
covered she was resisting thestandard treatment. More testswere done and the results showedstrains of resistant TB cultures.Andaleeb was then classified ashaving MDR (multiple drug resist-ant) TB.
Doctors said that she wouldhave to be on second-line drugs fortwo years and also receive a dailyinjection at the clinic for sixmonths. She was discharged fromthe hospital to be treated at home.
Riedaur Rinquest, Andaleeb’sbrother, says the family watchedas Andaleeb’s health deteriorated.
“Her appetite decreased to suchan extent that she wasn't consum-ing much needed daily nutrients.After a collapse she was sent toBrooklyn Chest Hospital. This iswhen it was determined she wasa pre XDR (extensively drug re-sistant) TB case.”
The family tells People’s Postthat this is where Andaleeb’shealth took a turn for the worst.
“She no longer felt positive withthis news and from then on hercondition became much worse,”says her mother.
“She was in a ward where threepatients died and Andaleeb had tosee all this. We then made a toughdecision and took her out of thehospital to care for her at home. Itwas really difficult journey,” saysShanaaz.
“She needed 24-hour care as hermedication needs to be given atcertain times. During the day Iwould care for her and at night herhusband did.”
Refaat January,Andaleeb’s hus-
band, investigated and he discov-ered that the UCT Academic Pri-vate Hospital was the only privatemedical facility able to treat theseTB cases.
Andaleeb was examined by pro-fessors who said she needed to behospitalised for six months. Thatwould cost R120 000 upfront andR120 000 each month she is at thefacility. The Rinquest and Janu-ary family managed to gather themoney, but now they need to con-tinue to raise R120 000 a month.
She has been admitted in UCTfor two weeks now, and the family
say they are hopeful she will getbetter.
“I am looking forward to the dayAndaleeb is cured and can walkout of here,” says Refaat. “I needto be strong and positive for her.”
Refaat says Andaleeb seems tobe on a slow road to recovery.
The newspaper visited An-daleeb’s facebook page and al-though she has a life-threateningillness, she was posting positivemessages encouraging people notto feel sorry for her.
In a bid to raise the funds thefamily has set up various shows.
They are also aiming for a mini-mum of about 2000 people to assistwith a donation booklet of R60 permonth for the six-month period.
The Rinquest and January fami-ly appeal to all to assist to save An-daleebs life. They would also liketo thank everybody for there sup-port so far. Anyone who wouldlike more information about An-daleeb, the variety shows or wouldlike to support in anyway shouldcall Refaat on 082 301 7733 orRiedaur on 084 311 1163, or visitthe facebook link: Support An-daleeb Rinquest-January.
BEFORE: Andaleeb RinquestJanuary (27) before she was diagnosed.
AFTER: Pictured here is Andaleebafter she was diagnosed.

THE Softball Junior Women’sWorld Championship has oneday to go before the first ball getspitched.
People’s Post – being the mediapartner – will be covering the eventand has been involved from thestart carrying profiles on individu-al players, and introduced theSouth African side and the manage-ment team.
The JWWC, which consists of 16teams and lasts just under twoweeks, starts Wednesday 7 Decem-ber with an opening game betweentwoAfrican countries, SouthAfricaand Botswana. Botswana took outtime to have a training session yes-terday morning.
Participating teams are South Af-rica, US, Canada, Japan, Australia,New Zealand, Puerto Rica, ChineseTaipei, China, Argentina, Russia,Germany, Botswana, Brazil, CzechRepublic, and Zimbabwe.
Supporters had an opportunity ofwatching world class Softball dur-ing the warm-up games on Thurs-day evening, when New Zealandplayed local teams Glenthorn A’sand Falcons-Normies.
The warm-up games continuedover the weekend with great sup-port, when South Africa, US, Japan,Canada, New Zealand, and Austral-ia played each other. New Zealand
fell short losing 4-2 against Japan,South Africa lost 13-0 to Canada,and US beat Australia 7-2.
On Saturday a minor error oc-curred when the technical teamfound fault in the lights of the Bfield. The game, between South Af-rica and Canada, was to have start-
ed at 19:30 but was postponed untilSunday. “We had a small problem,but we can now safely say that allslight problems have been resolved.It’s important that we have warm-up games in terms of field facilities,and warm-up games are relevant toteam preparations too, so playing
faults can be dealt with,” said NooreNacerodien, head of the Local Or-ganising Committee.
“Being the first such event in Af-rica, the LOC and I are confidentthat we will host an event of unprec-edented quality. This event will putus in good stead for hosting any fu-
ture international events in CapeTown”, he added.
People’s Post caught up with UScoach Paula McGovern, whoseteam played against Australia onSaturday. When asked about thefield conditions at Turfhall and thestadium, she said: “My team and Iare happy to be here and the cityshould be proud to have a worldclass Softball venue like Turfhall.”When asked whether New Zealandwould follow in the footsteps oftheir rugby team and fill their sportcabinet with the JWWC trophy,Coach Venita Hokai commented: “Ihave a team full of youngsters thatcan play in the next world champs,but they will have to be on top oftheir game if they want to win thetournament. However, I will be hap-py if we can end up in the top six”.Nacerodien also delivered a mes-sage to the teams and everybodywho helped organise the event.“From my side I wish everyone bestof luck. The community of Belthornhas been superb, and they are readyto welcome the world to their area.”
