Although the City has warned that the meeting will be regarded as an illegal gathering and or- ganisers may face criminal pros- ecution, plans for the occupation are being finalised and contribu- tors are determined to go ahead, despite the repercussions. Participants from Hanover Park, Pinati Estate, Mitchell’s Plain, Manenberg, Lavender Hill, Hout Bay, Gugulethu, Ath- lone, Bonteheuwel, Delft and even Stellenbosch, will march from the Athlone Stadium to the common, for the three-day sum- mit on Friday. Topics to be covered during the summit includes a call for the development of open spaces in “the leafy suburbs”, the scrap- ping of rent arrears for those oc- cupying council properties, as well as a demand for the City to transfer ownership of its rental units to the tenants. Organiser Mario Wanza says the occupation of the Rondebosch Common is symbolic of all spaces in affluent areas which are un- derutilized while “people on the Cape Flats don’t have space to move. “The coming together of civil society organisations reminds us of the days of united democratic action in taking forward the struggle. We have once again reached the point of building a united front, this time to rid our- selves of the divide between rich and poor. The common is a stark reminder of this barrier dividing us. “It is a public open space which is hardly ever used by the rich to walk their dogs. This is happen- ing while the poor are living on top of each other only a few sub- urbs away. Those with money have the luxury of acres of land at their disposal and it’s about time this spatial inequality is properly challenged,” he says. “Cape Town is still as divided as it was during the apartheid era”, Wanza continues. “The poor live a different life compared to the those in privi- leged areas. These areas have hectares of manicured lawns, used for golf courses and other luxuries, while there is a desper- ate need for land to be developed in order to provide housing for people who have been on waiting lists for years. It’s time that these areas are integrated.” But while the organisers are fi- nalising the details before the mass action, the City said that staff will be on site to discourage people from using the area ille- gally. Richard Bosman, the City’s di- rector for Safety and Security, says a meeting was arranged for Wednesday, so that organisers and the City can sit down and al- low the applicants to motivate their application and answer questions. “The group was between 15 and 30 minutes late. The panel as- sumed that they were not coming and continued with the after- noon’s proceedings. A letter was sent to the organisers on 19 Janu- ary, indicating that no permis- sion for the march and/or gather- ing had been granted.” In addition to the summit, a march to the common will also take place on Friday. The first participants will meet at the lookout hill in Rocklands at 07:00 that morning, and will walk through through Mitchell’s Plain to Manenberg.

The group will then march to Rondebosch Common, and are expected to arrive at 17:00. Bosman says that despite an application being made for the march, the City has informed the organisers that approval has not been granted. No safety plans has been lodged with the police. Wanza adds that Mayor Patri- cia De Lille’s “disinterest” in at- tending the summit shows that “not even she is interested in finding solutions to the plight of the poor.” But De Lille responds that she had already committed to anoth- er engagement long before the or- ganisers sent the invitation. The Mayor’s Office advised the organisers that their request could not be considered until for- mal approval for the gathering had been granted in terms of the relevant legislation. It was further pointed out that the threat to occupy state and pri- vately owned land is fundamen- tally illegal and therefore could not be supported by the Mayor in any way.

High tea brings joy to elderlyTHE Retreat Sector 2Neighbourhood WatchForum brought joy anddelight to the elderly atthe Douglas Murray Me-morial Home for the agedlast month with a “hightea”.
The elderly are oftenforgotten by members ofour society and this iscurrently the only facilityof this nature in the im-mediate Retreat vicinity.It has 91 occupants andthey are all reliant ontheir social pensions as a sole means of in-come.
Media Liason for Sector 2 Mark Rossouwsays: “The pension is paid over to the homeas a monthly rental. The operating cost ofthe facility presently outweighs the incomeby a large margin, even though the Depart-ment of Social Development provides fund-ing. But the funding is still not sufficient to
sustain the facility.“Our project was espe-
cially meaningful, as itcoincided with the festiveseason, which is after allthe season for giving andsharing.”
Rossouw continued bysaying the event was a re-sounding success. “Theplight of these elderly cit-izens is not an easy oneand they are appreciativeof any assistance that willease their difficulties.”
The NeighbourhoodWatch thanked all the sponsors of the event.“Your sponsorship was fitting and appropri-ate and we would certainly not have beenable to achieve the success we had, withoutyour support. A heartfelt thank-you for yourassistance and aid; your generosity is great-ly appreciated and we sincerely hope that wecan call on your selfless aid and assistanceagain in the future.” says Rossouw.

Nothing like oral historyORAL history is a valuablesource of recapturing lost infor-mation.
The history of Heathfield is no ex-ception and two residents, who pre-fer to remain anonymous, relatedtheir 80 years of experience in thearea. Their family moved to Heath-field in the ’30s when it was muchdifferent.
Interestingly, they cannot re-member if Dover, Chatham, Maid-stone, Ashford, Sevenoaks or Elev-en roads were named back then.They recall playing on the sanddunes in present-day CanterburyRoad.
Most houses used the bucket sys-tem and had no telephones. Pic-tures show that street lamps wereconnected to wooden poles and the
“area was pitch dark at night”.There were two bioscopes thatHeathfield residents frequented:one on the corner of First Avenueand Retreat Road (later known asQuibell’s), and in Steurhof (Can-ton?), close to the corner of Old Ken-dal and Main Road.
At the time, there were onlysteamtrainsandpassengersboughttheir tickets at a zinc structure onHeathfield Station.
Due to more than one railway ac-cident, the crossings over Roscom-mon Road and Waterford Roadswere later closed. There were fiveshops in the area: one belonging toMr Sonday on the corner of Ros-common and Station Road; Mr “Ja-pie” Brittow’s butchery; Mr Singh’sshop on the corner of Maidstoneand Station Road; another owned
by Mr Dennis from Wynberg andMr Jurgens had a vegetable store inpresent-day Eleventh Road. The lat-ter shop was later taken over byMrs Biehl, who was one of the fewwho had an electric stove. MrsBiehl’s daughter, Joyce, was a pi-ano teacher in the area who gavelessons to young children fromHeathfield. Mr Dunne lived on thecorner of Maidstone and GordonRoad and owned cows that grazedon part of Mr Punt’s farmland, pres-ently the area between Wendy andCanterbury Roads. Dunne’s whis-tle, drew the attention of his cowswhere they grazed in Wendy Road.The cows then followed the soundof the whistle back to MaidstoneRoad. Dunne also supplied milk tosome of the local residents. Mostresidents owned geese and other
fowl. The Cape Flats has many wet-lands and the area between Wendyand Canterbury Roads flooded inwinter. The water flowed from thehigher lying Roscommon Road tothe lower lying areas near presentday Heathfield High School Theland was owned by the Punt family.
Mr “Boeta” Krieger was the woodsupplier. Krieger, with the help ofhis sons, collected his stock at theTokai plantation with a horse andcart. There were no tarred roads forKrieger’s horse and cart in the ’40sand the area was mostly sanddunes. Krieger Road is a reminderof this family who once lived in thearea. Mr Human owned a funeralservice business opposite the DiepRiver Methodist Church, schooland graveyard. This service includ-ed four black horses drawing a wag-
on with the deceased inside a glasscoach. One of the families living inclose proximity to the church, wasthe Thorntons. A housing complex(Thornton Mews), and a road(Thornton Road), are poignant re-minders of how and where Heath-field residents lived, before the Sec-ond World War.

ON Wednesday 18 December just over5700 residents from Steenberg, LavenderHill and Retreat came together to vote ina new ward councillor after ward coun-cillor Manu Ariefdien passed away lastyear.
The Democratic Allience walked awaywith 5 402 (93.96%) votes while the AfricanNational Party had 232 votes, Al Jama-ah 107and the Pan Africanist Congress of Azaniawith 8 votes.
There were also 30 spoilt votes.Marita Johanna Petersen joined the DA in
2006 and worked closely with former wardcouncillors Gerald Morkel and Manu Arief-dien.Asking the 46-year-old how she feels aboutbeing voted in as the new ward councillorshe says: “This is a dream come true. It givesme the opportunity to dedicate my time, pas-sion and energy to help all the people in mycommunity live safer and more fulfilledlives.”
“With the backing of the expertise servic-es that makes this the best-run municipalityin South Africa, I will be able to campaignfor delivery of improved services and infra-structure development in the ward.”.
“During the past six years I have gathered
experience that will help me hit the groundrunning. I know the ropes and I know theright people in the municipality to call to getthings done.”
The confident mother of three says whileshe had been campaigning in the streets ofLavender Hill, Coniston Park and some oth-er areas, she has been helping residents withtheir problems.
Petersen has had a long history of commu-nity work after starting a hyperformanceyouth sanctuary in 1996 to help young peopleto become responsible adults. She alsoworked with learners who struggled ace-demically.
Monty Oliver, Chairperson for subcouncil18 which runs Ward 68, says he is confidentthat Petersen will make an excellent wardcouncillor. “I only have good things to sayabout her. She is a very hard worker and sheis already on my case about when we cancome together to talk about what to do in thecommunity.”
According to Oliver, Petersen will be in-stated as ward councillor as early as nextweek.
Asked if he has any advice for Petersen,he says: “Being a ward councillor is not aneasy task. Only time will tell but I can tellher to always have an open mind and to lis-ten to people. Keep your ear on the groundand always listen to what the people need.”

Keeping track ofyour yearTHE Ship Society of SA, a non-profit organi-sation, is raising funds by selling a specialcalendar.
It is approximately 42x56cm and the coverpainting is by one of their members.
A 50-year-old woman is in a seri-ous condition in hospital afterher throat was slit at The BeachLodge in Muizenberg.
Evelyn Born, an employee of thebackpackers, located at Surfer’sCorner, was airlifted to hospital af-ter the assault, which happened at16:00 on Wednesday 18 January.
Staff at Gaslight Cafe, who cameto her aid, declined to comment,saying they were still traumatisedby what had happened. An eyewit-ness,whoaskednot tobenamed, de-scribes the scene as “horrific” andsays the victim was covered inblood from neck to feet.
Police confirmed an undisclosedamount of money had been taken,but had not yet determined if any-thing else was missing.
At the backpackers, visitors needto ring the bell at a security gate fac-ing the beach and then take thestairs to the reception area, whereit understood the incident oc-curred.
This front area can be locked butwas open when People’s Post visited
the building.Staff, who asked not to be
named, said there were no
guests inside at the time of the inci-dent, and that Born working alone.
Dave Jones, of the Empire, Cafesays: “I consider the area pretty safe– the event was extremely odd andmakes me think there is more to thestory.”
The man said to own the premiseslater declined to comment when con-tact by telephone, saying via his re-ceptionist that he was not in fact theowner, and adding that he did notknow why the newspaper had beengiven his name.
At 13:00 on the day after the as-sault, police arrested a 21-year-oldman at his Muizenberg home.
Warrant Officer November Filan-der says the suspect was due to ap-pear in the Muizenberg Magistrate’sCourt on Monday 23 January. He wasto be charged with attempted murder
and business robbery.Filander would not comment on
speculation that the suspect was anemployee of The Beach Lodge, sayingthe matter was still under investiga-tion.
Jones adds that he saw the victimbeing transferred to thehelicopter byparamedics. “Everyone there wascalm and professional. It stood outhow well trained and practised theyare.”
He adds that the Muizenberg Im-provement District has replaced theinformal car guards with “BeachBuddies”, saying the programme isan excellent idea and is seen to beworking well.
He adds: “There are crimes, obvi-ously. Tourists are bait and Muizen-berg is within walking distance ofpoorer areas.”Bruce Anderson, from
the Lifestyle Surf shop next door,says: “The beachfront area is prettysafe, but you take your chances ifyou walk in the village. Muizenbergis the place we love to hate, butthat’s just South Africa unfortu-nately... one has to learn to adaptand survive. It really upsets me thatI can’t walk home at night withouthaving to constantly watch myback.”
Andre Visser of ER24 confirmedthe victim was in a serious condi-tion at Groote Schuur Hospital .
The Hospital was unable to pro-vide an update on her condition, astheir spokesperson was on leave.
Filander asks anyone with infor-mation regarding the incident tocontact the Muizenberg Police sta-tion on (021) 787 9000 or Crime Stopon 0860 010 111.

TERESA FISCHER
THERE is a new big fish at Muizen-berg’s beach front, but it’s no shark.
A cheerful green Koi fish mural emergedthis week on the wall of the toilets, facing thesea.
Dave Jones from the Empire Cafe posted a
photograph of it on his Facebook page, “Mui-zen Berg”, and by Friday it had received 122“likes” and plenty of positive comments suchas “spectacular”, “rad” and “shweet”.
Shani Judes of SJ artists funded the mural,which was painted by an artist from Sau Pau-lo, Brazil, called Binho Ribeiro.
Judes says they have permission to createmurals on six other walls, but that the costwill be about R10 000 per mural. “If anyoneknows of anyone who loves Muzi and wantsto see more, the artists are keen. We just needfunding.”
On Facebook, some posters commentedthat the fish appeared to be swimming upsidedown, but Judes explains that the fish is not“belly up” as the white section in the middleis his back. She explains it symbolises uplift-ment and says there has been an “awesome”reaction.
The Muizenberg Improvement District(MID) supports murals and public art, witha view to beautifying the environment and at-tracting visitors to the area.
The MID manager, who asked not to benamed for security reasons, supports Judes’efforts. “Graffiti has been an issue in Muizen-berg for many years and is a sensitive matterwith the local community,” she says, addingthat various groups and individuals, includ-ing the MID, have made it their business toclear defaced surfaces with graffiti-bustinginitiatives.
She says: “In contrast to ugly tagging andmessy graffiti, graphically designed muralsare works of art which have a positive impacton perception of the quality of experience inany given public space.”

THE Retreat Sector 2 Neighbour-hood Watch Forum is continu-
ing to battle negative elements outon Retreat’s roads.
The forum was formed in 2009, andwas backed up by only two neighbour-hood watches.
But today it boasts eight watches,covering areas such as Sasmeer Es-tate, Cafda Village and Retreat.
In recent months, the forum has beencelebrating more successes, includinga major breakthrough in removingsome of Retreat’s most infamous drugdens.
People’s Post highlighted the prob-lems around the Sixth Avenue drugden last year (“Ruined property açrime haven'”, 5 December), whichhighlighted a number of problems,mainly drug trafficking and illegal oc-cupation at the house.
It has now been confirmed that thebuilding is set to be demolished nextmonth.
“We worked long and hard to get ridof that house, because it was a realproblem for the community, but thiswas one of our biggest successes thusfar,” says Mark Rossouw, media liai-son officer.
Rossouw explained that the forumhas worked well with the newly intro-duced communications room at SteenbergPolice Station.
Along with better communication, which
improved response time from police, the fo-rum hits the streets twice a week in twoshifts.
They tackle key hotspots, perform routinestop-and-searches on possible suspects, en-sure nightclubs stick to their liquor licence
applications and patrol Princess Vleifor any illegal activities.
“We have had plenty of success andour operations are running a lot morefluently, but we can still use the helpof the public and members within thecommunity, just to increase our visi-bility in the areas we patrol,” says Ros-souw.
He added that since the forum beganworking closely with thecommunications room, they had seena drop in the number of burglary, theftof motor vehicles and muggings casesbeing reported.
“Our main priority is to fight crimein our area and we are really workinghard to keep our surroundings safeand secure,” says Rossouw.
Kevin Southgate, the chairpersonfor the Steenberg Community PoliceForum, said the number of weaponsconfiscated by the neighbourhoodwatches in the short period of time isa true reflection of the work beingdone.
“Generally speaking, the communi-ty receives invaluable work from theneighbourhood watches,” saysSouthgate.
“A big thank-you to all the partici-pants and my call is for more people tocome forward and join neighbourhoodwatches,” Southgate appealed to thecommunity.
Anybody interested in joining neigh-bourhood watches can contact Gavin Wal-burgh on 082 826 0855 or Henry Moses on 082461 0101.

Everyone looking to renew their spent CFLs for free
raise your hands!
www.eskom.co.za/idm
Five years ago, we managed to convertmillions of South Africans to using CFLenergy saving light bulbs and savedyou money. Now, five years later, we’reback to change your energy saversthat have reached the end of theirlife. Continue to use energy savers tocollectively save South Africa’s energy.
Energy saving lightbulbs have anenvironmental benefit because theycut your lighting cost by using lesselectricity and last up to eight timeslonger, resulting in a reduction ingreenhouse gases. The small amountof mercury that energy savinglightbulbs contain is almost used upby the time the lightbulb is ready fordisposal. So try not to break the lamp anddispose of CFLs at participating retailers.
Old CFLs can be exchangedfor new ones in two ways:
a. There will be a door-to-door exchange(people will come to your door to dothe exchange).
b. Self exchange points will be set up incertain areas, where you will be ableto go and do the exchange.
Don’t miss out!Save energy and save money!
The exchange period will run from November 2011 to January 2012.

Stormers run riot in WellingtonLIAM MOSES
THE Western Cape has long been consid-ered to be one of the most prolific produc-ers of talented rugby players in South Af-rica, and one of the most prolific in theworld.
And this belief was proven again on Satur-day, when a youthful Stormers teambrushed aside the Boland Kavaliers in theirfirst warm-up game of the 2012 Super Rugbyseason.
The Stormers went into the match withoutthe services of experienced players such An-dries Bekker, Schalk Burger, Bryan Habana,Duane Vermeulen, Gio Aplon or any of theregulars who lead the team to victory in theSouth African conference of the 2011 SuperRugby campaign.
However, despite the absence of so manyfirst choice players, Alister Coetzee’s charg-es still managed to run in seven tries and winthe match 45-17.
The Stormers pack dominated the colli-sion point from virtually the first minute,and it wasn’t long before they were to profitfrom their superior fervour for physicality.
Young tight-head prop Frans Malherbewas the first to set the score-keepers to taskwhen he barged over the try line in the fifthminute.
Bolla Conradie, a player at the oppositeend of the age and experience spectrum, wasnext to cross the whitewash for the Storm-ers, when he sliced through the Boland de-fence 10 minutes later.
Conradie played with a hunger equal toany of his young team mates, and two min-utes later he pierced Boland’s defence again,and grubbered through for Danie Poolmanto chase.
The wing was tackled without the ball inthe in-goal area by a back-tracking Kavaliersdefender, resulting in a penalty try for theStormers.
Poolman visited Boland’s in-goal areaagain 20 minutes later, and this time theKavaliers were unable to stop him from dot-ting down for the last try of the first half.
The Stormers resumed their superiorityin the early exchanges of the second-half,but some typical early-season errors and en-terprising play from Boland lead to Triesfrom Jonathan Francke and Junior Besterin the 41st and 45th minutes respectively.
Coetzee’s team were not to be outdone andhit back with scores from Namibian inter-national flank Rohan Kitshof and No 8 Ni-zaam Carr in the 55th and 68th minutes re-spectively, and closed out the game with atry from stalwart hooker Tiaan Liebenberg,a second-half replacement, in the 80thminute.
The comprehensive victory will help to al-lay fears that the team could be short ondepth in key positions for this coming sea-son.
Conradie, who last played for the Storm-ers in 2010, proved a steadying hand atscrumhalf and will be an adequate replace-ment for first-choice scrumhalf Dewalt Du-venhage in case of an enforced lay-off.
New signings Burton Francis, JP du Ples-sis and Gerhard van den Heever also per-formed well and could feature regularly thisseason. Francis, a former Blue Bulls playerwho was signed from the Lions, providesmuch needed cover at fly-half, a positionwhere the Stormers have been short-staffedand injury-hit, while Du Plessis, who re-turned to South Africa after a spell in Aus-tralia playing both Rugby Union and RugbyLeague, will lessen the impact made by thedepartures of centres Johann Sadie (BlueBulls) and Jacque Fourie (Japan), and Vanden Heever, signed from the Blue Bulls, pro-vides Coetzee with an excellent option at full-back or on either wing.
The side’s other two off-season signings,Joe Pietersen and Deon Carstens, who bothreturned to South Africa after plying their
trade abroad, did not take part in the game.The speedy development of youngsters at
the union has also swelled the Stormers’ for-ward ranks. Props Frans Malherbe and Ste-ven Kitshoff could see significant game timethis season, while the team’s establishedlock partnership of Rynhard Elstadt and An-dries Bekker will have to fight to stave offthe challenge of Quinn Roux and Eben Etze-beth, and the presence Nizaam Carr, YayaHartzenberg, Siya Kolisi, Nic Koster, NickFenton-Wells and Rueben Johannes willease the Stormers passage into life without
Springbok flank Francois Louw, who leftforEnglish clubBathat the endof last sea-son.
Coetzee will know that, despite win-ning the Currie Cup First Division in2011, Boland are a world away from thequality they will face every week in SuperRugby.
The Stormers will face stiffer opposi-tion this week, when they clash with 2011Currie Cup champions the Lions at New-lands on Friday.

A HEATHFIELD woman will fulfil thedream of a lifetime next month when shetravels to Italy to train for and compete inmajor international ballroom events.
Stephanie van der Poll, 21, has been com-peting in ballroom dancing events since shewas 11 and last year she reached the apexof local competition circuit when sheclaimed both the Western Province andSouth African championships.
Van der Poll says her reason for movingto Italy, on Wednesday 1 February, is to im-prove the standard of her own dancing, aswell as the standard of dancing in South Af-rica.
“I’m going to be living and training in Ita-ly because the coaches are amazing com-pared to those in South Africa. The qualityof dancing in Italy is amazing,” she said.
“South African ballroom dancing isn’tconsidered to be very good because of howlazy our dancers can be. We want to changethis international view of South Africadancing and improve the standard and qual-ity. We want to come back and be able to helpyoung dancers.”
During her time in Europe, Van der Polland her Italian partner will compete in tour-naments in Italy, Russia, Spain, Germanyand other countries across the continent.
Besides her provincial and national victo-ries last year, Van der Poll also has severalother major achievements to her name.
In 2009, the University of the WesternCape dietetics student claimed third placein the national championships and in 2010she went one better and claimed second.
However, she has not always had it herown way.
She was prevented from competing in theWorld Championships last year after herpartner chose to give up dancing and focuson his studies.
She only found her current partner, Ital-ian Ezio Mattioli, in June last year, and theywent into National Championships with on-ly 20 days of practice under their belts.
Thus far, Van der Poll’s expenses havebeen covered by her parents and her part-ner’s parents, but she is in desperate need
of sponsorship to fund her competition andtraining in Italy.
Van der Poll says finding sponsorship willbe beneficial to her career, other South Afri-can dancers and the sponsor as well.
“I feel that we deserve sponsorship be-cause we are willing to put in so much time.I’m putting my studies on hold because Iknow we have an opportunity to improvethe status of South African dancers over-sees,” said Van der Poll.
“Dancing is very big in Europe. They havechannels dedicated completely to dancing.Whatever sponsor we get, we will be puttingtheir name out in the interviews. Any pub-licity we get they will get.”

New rugby team for RetreatNew rugby team for RetreatLIAM MOSES
A NEW rugby club is to be formedin Retreat and will be based at theBasil D’Oliveira Sports Complexin Heathfield.
The club is the brain-child of JanBurger, councillor of Ward 72, andHenry Moses, a community leaderand member of the Retreat neigh-bourhood watch.
According to Moses, the reason forforming the club is to help keepyoung people away from crime,drugs and violence.
“I would like things to get betterfor the youth. We must do somethingto keep them busy,” said Moses.
“There are a lot of youngsters do-ing nothing. We want to keep themon the right path by having work-shops with them.”
Moses, Burger, and formerSpringbok, Western Province andStormers prop-forward Eddie An-drews, who is currently a wardcouncillor in Mitchell’s Plain, metwith members of the community forthe first time on Thursday 19 Janu-ary to inform them about startingthe club.
Burger has been trying to getyouth from the area playing rugbysince 2007, when he first becamecouncillor, and the meeting was thefirst tentative step towards estab-lishing the club.
Moses and Burger named the sidethe JB Page Rugby Club, afterJoseph Benjamin Page, former pres-ident of the Retreat and City andSuburban Rugby Clubs.
According to Moses, Page had amassive impact on the lives of sever-al young men in the Retreat area.
“He was our Mr Rugby. He was thepresident of City and Suburban Rug-by Union for about 21 years. He wasthe guy who kept Retreat RugbyClub together,” said Moses.
“If we didn’t have him, whatwould have happened to us? Mybrother, myself, my friends? Wecould have turned out doing thewrong things. He kept us busy withrugby.”
Moses added that before he andBurger settled on the name, he ap-proached Page’s daughter to ask forpermission.
“Over the years no one has hon-oured his name. So I feel we musthonour him. We must honour himfor what he did for the community.”
Moses himself has already had asimilar influence on the lives ofyoung people in the Southern Penin-sula, one of whom has gone on toplayat thehighest level of rugbypos-sible.
Eddie Andrews started playingrugby at the Mitchell’s Plain RugbyClub, a team Moses helped to found.
Andrews said that playing rugbyhelped him to change his mindset
and outlook on life, and that therewere many benefits to playing thesport.
“The benefit is that you are partof a different environment whereyou now have to contribute to a com-mon goal,” said Andrew.
“You have to think differently.There also won’t be time for consid-ering taking part in the social ills inyour community. You are exposed tosocial skills and most importantlyyou have a support structure.”
“You realise that to achieve, youhave to work harder. The bar hasbeen raised.”
Andrews added that he intends tostay involved with the club and willassist with coaching.
The group will host a second meet-ing with residents on Thursday 23February, at theRetreatCommunityCentre in Toring Road, and calls onanyone interested to attend.
Contact Jan Burger on 083 415 3017or Henry Moses on 082 461 0101 forfurther information.
ROLE MODEL: Eddie Andrews, aformer Western Province, Stormersand Springboks prop forward, addresses a small crowd at the RetreatCommunity Hall in Toring Road. Retreat residents met on Thursday 19January to discuss the formation of anew rugby club in the area.
