The opening on Thursday 2 July is in line with the City of Cape Town’s commitment to building a caring city by providing resi- dents with quality healthcare and facilities. Before this major revamp facility was pro- viding health care services to the communi- ty for more than 25 years and has benefited from a refurbishment project that started in March 2013. “This investment of more than R8,2 million was spent on the addition of a paediatric wing, an upgraded TB-section, and the complete renovation and upgrade of the reception area and adult curative servi- ces section,” said Cape Town mayor, Patri- cia de Lille. “In addition, we constructed a staff room and new ablution facilities for cli- ents, replaced the old asbestos roof as well as the seating in the waiting areas, and re- painted and retiled the entire clinic. “This is indeed a proud moment and I hope that the community of Belhar and sur- rounds will take ownership of this facility and help protect it from vandals and thieves. “Arriving at this moment was not an easy feat. There were a number of construction delays as a result of interference with the contractor, among other things. But I am grateful that we have crossed the finish line and can now focus on service delivery to our clients, who are our number one priority.” The facility was formerly serviced by City Health and the Western Cape Government’s Metro District Health Services, but a joint decision in 2010 resulted in the services be- ing consolidated, leaving City Health to as- sume sole responsibility for the rendering of a comprehensive package of health services to the community. Metro District Health Services has also taken over the running of the Bishop Lavis Community Day Centre, which means City staff at that facility can be transferred to St Vincent, increasing the staff complement. “St Vincent CHC sees, on average, 585 cli- ents every day accessing a range of services relating to maternal and child health, HIV/ STIs and TB, adult curative services, mental health and nutrition,” said the City’s Mayor- al Committee Member for Health, Siyabu- lela Mamkeli. “This is a momentous occasion, but I am under no illusion that we still have a moun- tain to climb in terms of providing top-class resources and facilities at each and every City Health facility across the city, and building even more clinics. Unfortunately, we do not have unlimited funding, so it is a case of one step at a time. St Vincent, how- ever, is proof of what we can achieve and how we are making progress possible together.” Difference Thru Sport (DTS), a community driven project in Parow Valley, provided holiday entertain- ment for children from all over, helping them deal with identity and self esteem issues, through sports.

The City of Cape Town issued a warningrecently, following reports of a housingscam.The warning was issued a week ago by
human settlements mayoral committeemember, Benedicta van Minnen.In the statement the City urges resi-
dents not to fall victim of the scam whichhave been reported in parts across the ci-ty.Anyone who has been affected they say,
should report to the matter to the policefor investigation.“I call on the residents not to be misled
by con-artists who are running housingscams and to report the matter to the aut-horities as soon as they become aware ofit,” van Minnen said.The city was made aware recently of se-
veral housing scams that have affected re-sidents in Cape Town.It has been confirmed that some of the
residents have fallen victim to the scamsand have indeed ‘bought’ land or housingunits which were promised to themthrough these illegal sales, van Minnenexplained.“The City has also been informed that
some of the culprits are operating withunauthorised documents, which containthe City of Cape Town’s official logo.”Some have made claims in the media
that they were sold housing units by peo-
plewho claim to be from theCity’s humansettlements directorate.“Aftermoney is paid for these promised
housing units or piece of land, the culpritsdisappear, taking with them the money,”van Minnen added.She said it has been reported to the City
that in some cases, after residents havepaid money for an erf, the scammerswould send an SMS, ‘allocating’ an ‘erfnumber’ to the duped person.“It saddensme to hear about such cases.
Residents must note that, should a personqualify in terms of the national criteriafor a subsidy, they must not pay any mo-ney to anyone to be placed on the housingdatabase, or to receive a house,” vanMin-nen explained.The City’s housing allocation policy
makes provision for qualifying applicantswho live in any given area to be conside-red for housing opportunities in housingprojects across the city, she added.“Beneficiaries of new housing projects
are drawn, on a project specific percenta-ge basis, from qualifying applicants whoare registered on the housing databasefrom the area where the development isbeing undertaken, but also from qualify-ing applicants residing outside of theboundaries of a given development.“This is to ensure that the allocation of
the housing opportunities is fair, andequitable for all applicants on the databa-se, irrespective of the area in which theyreside,” van Minnen said.Applicants are urged to contact the lo-
cal housing office to update their detailson the database so that they can be contac-ted when a housing opportunity arises.“I also ask those who are not registered
to find out whether they qualify for a sub-sidised house and if so, to apply to registeron the database,” van Minnen said.Applications can be done at the City’s
Walk-in Centre in Wale Street, CapeTown, or the housing kiosk on the secondfloor of the Civic Centre in Hertsog Boule-vard.V Alternatively contact the callcentre on 021 4440333 or apply online at http://web1.capetown.gov.za/web1/HWL2012Online

A policeman with his roots in ElsiesRiver is now in charge in one of themost volatile areas on the Cape Flats.Colonel Hendrie Hugo, Manenberg
police station’s new station comman-der has succeeded Brigadier Andrévan Dyk who spent eight years in theservice of the Manenberg community.Born and bred in Elsies River the 49-
year-old officer is the former provinci-al commander of Police EmergencyServices. He was excited about thechallenges he face in his new position.He hasmore than 30 years’ experien-
ce in SAPS and wants to focus on clea-ning the streets of drugs and ganste-rism that threatens the community.
“Get our youth away from gangs!”That is the strongmessage from
the Station Commander of Bellvil-le South, Lieutenant Colonel Karen Vorsatzwho has noted with concern the increase ininvolvement of youth in gang activities.She wants families and the public to be
aware of the reasons why young people areattracted to gangs and why it needs to bestopped.“There are a variety of reasons why our
youth are getting into these groups and wemust start combating this attraction,” shesays.“For many of the there is the desire to ob-
tain friendship and access to drugs, moneyandgirlfriends. There are also thosewhoarerebellious against their family and in somecases where family is already involved it isto uphold family tradition.
“For many in certain areas they join toprotect themselves from violence, but somealso join to take revenge against those theybelieve have wronged them.“There are also instanceswhere adults de-
liberately involve children in crime andgangs in order to protect themselves frombeing held accountable.“Another factor is exposure to high levels
of crime, violence and gang pressure whichleads children to begin to think that this typeof environment is normal.”Vorsatz also explained that parents must
be aware of signs that their children mightbe getting involved with gangs.“Parents and care-giversmust be aware of
when their children startwearing gang styleclothing,” she continued.“They also start getting involved with a
new group of friends and neglect long-timefriends and acquaintances.“Many of them start using hand signs,
gang style nicknames and a different style
of language or they have an interest in gang-ster rap.“There’s also significant changes in theirbehaviour and attitude, withdrawal, se-
crecy andand disrespect for authority.“They start a trend of truancy, curfew vio-
lations, graffitimakingorvandalism, orpos-session ofalcohol or drugs.”She added that with these factors in mind
it was important to educate children aboutgang problems during their pre-school yearsand tomake sure they understand that somepeople are not good and that gangs are bad.“Explain the dangers of gang involvement
of being shot by rival gangs or police. Lea-ving their lovedones with pain and without income.“They should know that gangs members
will go to prison at some stage of their gangcareer and theywill have a lifelong criminalrecord, no income and no pension.”
To limit the child’s risk of involvement pa-rents should enrol their children in after-school programmes, sports, art and culture,community organisations or religiousgroups.“Meet your children’s friends and pa-
rents.“Don’t allow your child to wear, write or
gesture any gang associated graffiti mark-ings signs or symbols.“Teach your child about the negative con-
sequences of gang involvement andcriminalbehaviour. Let them know that gang mem-bers are likely to end up seriously injuredor dead.She concluded by pointing out that pa-
rents should not make the mistake of delay-ing their suspicions.“Talk to your child express your love and
consistently treat him or her with the samerespect you would show any other person.Make use of community organizations forsupport and encouragement.”
Youth warned, don’t join gangs!
Enthusiastic Grade Seven learners from Elswood Primary School in Elsies River were transported backin time when they attended a historical tour at the V&A Waterfront. Peninsula Beverage Company(PenBev, local bottler and distributor of The CocaCola Company’s products in the Western andNorthern Cape) sponsored this tour in partnership with The Chavonnes Battery Museum to educatelearners about life in Cape Town during the 1700’s.
Trip down memory laneSixty-seven learners from Elswood Pri-mary School in Elsies River were treat-ed to an insight into the history of CapeTown to add some excitement to theirholidays.The V&A Waterfront is home to the
oldest working harbour in South Africawith 22 cultural landmarks as thelearners visited the ruins of an originalDutch Fort at the V&A Waterfront’sChavonnesBatteryMuseum,whichhadbeen buried for a staggering 140 years.On their visit the learners enjoyed a
storytelling session about Van Hunksand the Devil by renowned storyteller,historian and author Willem Steen-kamp, whilst tucking into a hotdog andMinute Maid juice. One of the learnersthanked Willem and added that theywould share these stories when they gotback to school.The children then participated in a
guided tour with guides dressed in peri-od costume, learning about what it waslike to live in the 18th century in CapeTown.
After a question and answer sessionwith prize giving, the learners receivedgoodie bags and a tour of the V&A asthey made their way back to the bus.“We are very proud of our partner-
ship with PenBev and the opportunityto host learners from disadvantaged ar-eas,” says Dale Dodgen, Business Exec-utive for Chavonnes Battery Museum.“For many of the learners it is their
first time at the V&A Waterfront, expe-riencing the history of Cape Town. TheChavonnes Battery Museum is a Tour-ist Guide Incubator and the learners areoften from the same neighbourhood asthe guides.“We hope this will inspire the
learners in their own career develop-ment.”The Chavonnes Battery Museum is

Police are warning the public about anew scam targetting recipients of so-cial grants that may be spreading
across the Western Cape.In Bishop Lavis and surrounding areas
communications officer Captain MarieLouwexplained that fraudsters have identi-fied a way in which to defraud receivers ofSassa grants of their income.“A call is made by a person, giving a ficti-
tious name, but acting as if he/she is offi-cially employed by Sassa,” she said.“The name of the person who is called is
asked or is sometimes known by the caller.“The latter then requests the person to
confirm his/her name and also to give thelast four digits of their Sassa card number.“The person is promised a food parcel if
they supply the information.“This clearly never happens and the vic-
tim later finds that withdrawals have been
made from the account.“Peoplemust be aware of this scam if they
are called or if they are visited by personspromising these hampers.”ABonteheuwel residentwhodidnotwant
to be named also pointed out that there wasalso a trend for these scamsters to visit peo-ple in various areas as well.“My mother-in-law was approached by a
youngpersonclaiming tobea studentwork-ing for Sassa who was armed with very offi-cial looking documents,” he said.“Luckily she had left her card with my
wife and when she called for us to bring itto her the guy left saying that he wouldcome back later.“Shortly afterwards we found out that he
hadduped someother residents into ‘filling’out those forms for grocery hampers. Theyfound out later that illegal withdrawalswere made.”
Beware of Sassa fraudsters

A new traffic calming policy, aimed ataddressing a backlog of projects andprotecting pedestrians, is being consid-
ered by the City of Cape Town.According to a statement, residents are re-
quested to air their views during the publicparticipation process that is currently un-derway. City mayco member for transport,Brett Herron explains each year they receivemore than 400 requests for the implementa-tion of traffic calming measures.
There is currently a backlog of 500 trafficcalming projects to the value of R30 million.
Counting among these are requests forspeed humps, raised pedestrian crossingsand intersections, mini-traffic circles, roadmarkings and road narrowing as devices toforce drivers to slow down.
“We have seen an increase in the numberof requests for traffic calming measures,which can be attributed to a general disre-gard for the rules of the road. Given the cur-rent backlog and the steady increase in re-quests, it has become necessary to revisit thecurrent regime. As such, a new policy whichseeks to prioritise the implementation ofthese measures where pedestrians, and par-
ticularly children, are most vulnerable atschools, parks and libraries is now on the ta-ble and ready for public comment.”
The purpose of the new policy is to providefor a system that is financially sustainablein the long-run; responsive to critical safetyproblems on residential roads; and that willassist in eliminating the backlog within areasonable time.
Part of the new policy proposes that thetransport department implements trafficcalming measures on roads adjacent to exist-ing schools as a matter of priority with thebenchmark of at least 50 schools per year.
It also proposes that ward councillors mayidentify, motivate and fund traffic calmingmeasures in response to a proven history ofaccidents on a road or in response to a recentand very urgent incident that demands im-mediate intervention.
Individuals or organisations may alsofund traffic calming measures, subject to theprescribed conditions.V Public participation on the new policy is Sunday 16August and you can find the policy at your nearestsubcouncil office or library. You can also visitwww.capetown.gov.za.

The art of skilfully folding pieces of paperinto all sorts of shapes, is slowly but surelybeginning to take shape in Wesbank.
This practice, thanks to the generous helpand coaching of one woman, Kyoko Mor-gan, is aimed at building the already crea-tive minds of local teenagers.
Kyoko, a Japanese national who moved toSouth Africa 23 years ago, has been teach-ing youngsters in the crime-ridden area forover three years how to fold papers as partof her origami class. It is here, as part of aschool holiday programme, where they aretaught how to fold paper into books, walletsor swans.
Origami, from ‘ori’ meaning folding, and‘kami’ meaning paper, is the art of paperfolding which is often associated with theJapanese culture, according to the onlineencyclopaedia, Wikipedia.
Kyoko, founder and director of Origamifor Africa, started teaching children at theWesbank No 1 Primary School as part of aholiday programme. The programme wassoon expanded and now offers free classesto more teenagers at the Multi-purpose Cen-tre during school holidays.
“I used to do origami as a child and as yougrow up you do not forget. It is like a gamefor children in Japan. I was asked to do itat schools and also did it with the awaitingtrial youths at Pollsmoor Prison,” Kyokosaid. Apart from this, she also taught chil-dren displaced as a result of the recent xeno-phobic attacks.
“From their reactions I then realised thatorigami actually helps to empower chil-dren, it gives them confidence.
“It is a great activity people can do eitherby themselves or socially,” Kyoko said.
Her aim now is to bring origami to town-ships and underprivileged communities
such as Wesbank.“It is good for all, it helps you physically,
mentally and intellectually,” Kyoko said.Ayanda Mpikwa (14) from Leiden High
School in Delft, are one of those students.“I have been doing it for about four years
now. When I started I did not really under-stand Origami. When I am down and feelstressed, I take a piece of paper and fold it,it relaxes you,” Ayanda said.
He said over the years origami has taughthim to concentrate and pay close attentionto many other aspects of his life. “It alsohelps to discipline us,” he added.
Kyoko said: “Some shapes have six steps,others have 600. There is slow progression,and that is what I think makes it so excit-ing.” A group of Wesbank teenagers will beshowing off some of their Origami skills tomembers of the public at the Iziko Museumin Cape Town this week.V Contact Kyoko on [email protected]

Story of a river –as seen in picturesRICHARD ROBERTS
@richardjohn_rj
Ever wondered where the Kuils Riveroriginates, or perhaps where exactly itends up? Often wondered how long, wi-de, dirty or clean it is?
Well perhaps this is something CapeTown photographer Dillon Marsh canshed some light on.
Marsh, a professional photographer,recently took a series of photos captu-ring the different parts of this meande-ring river – from Durban-ville to where it eventual-ly runs out into the sea atFalse Bay.
The photos, 16 in total,form part of the photogra-pher’s landmarks portfo-lio, entitled “A Matter ofCourse”.
“From the source in theaffluent suburb of Dur-banville, it passesthrough the stark suburbof Kuils River, to which itgives its name. It thencontinues past the poorfarming communities ofBlue Downs, the informal settlement ofKhayelitsha and finally the peripheralsuburb of Macassar where it exits intothe Atlantic Ocean in False Bay,” Marshdescribes the story of the river on hiswebsite.
Asked what motivated him to underta-ke the project, he commented: “I have of-ten driven through the town of Kuils Ri-ver, and the river itself has always intri-gued me. It is obviously a major featureof the town, but its banks have been forti-fied with concrete and people seem to
avoid interacting with it.”Two years ago he decided he wanted
to find out more about the river.“So I followed it from its source to its
mouth. The fact that it passed throughso many different settlements made foran interesting progression, and becauseit’s heavily polluted, the river also see-med to have the character of an outcast,”explained Marsh, who holds a Bachelor’sDegree in Fine Art from the Universityof Stellenbosch.
The photo series was completed to-wards the beginning of2013.
“I worked on it on andoff, over a three-month du-ration.” He did so bydriving around the areanear the river, finding pla-ces where the road cameclose enough to the riveror crossed over the river.
One of the things, he ex-plained, that struck himmost was the river’s soli-tude. “It just seems to passby without people reallynoticing it or interactingwith it. This may of course
be due to the fact that it is quite polluted,but it paints a sad picture,” he said.
He added: “All I really want to drawattention to is the river that seems to ha-ve been forgotten. I cannot realisticallyexpect my photos to enforce positivechange to the polluted nature of the ri-ver, but maybe they can help people be-come more aware of their natural sur-rounding and treat their environmentwith more care.”V To view the rest of the photos visit www.dillonmarsh.com/amatterofcourse

Man vanElsiesoorleefaanvalBRENDEN RUITER
@ruitervaniewind
’nMan van Elsiesrivier se vinnige re-aksie het veroorsaak dat sy aanval-lers hom nie doodgeskiet het toe sy
motor langs die N7-snelweg naby Du Noononklaar geraak het nie.Richard Jonkers en ’n vriend was onder-
weg van Atlantis, waar hy sy neef gaan af-laai het, toe sy motor langs die pad gaanstaan het. “Ek het mense gebel om ons tekom haal en ook probeer om motors te kryom by ons te stop, maar tevergeefs,” vertelJonkers.In die ligte van ’n aankomende voertuig
het hy die silhoeët van ’n man oor die padsien kom. “Dit hetmy aanvanklik nie geplanie, want ek was onder die indruk hy wasêrens heen op pad. Dit is toe hy naderkomwat ek sien hy kom reguit na my toe. Toehy sy hand voor by sy broek insteek, hetek geweet hier kom moeilikheid,” sê Jon-ker.Hy het op die ingewing van die oomblik
besluit omna dieman se hande te gryp. “Ekwas te vinnig vir hom en het sy hande beet-gekry. In die gestoei het hy die vuurwapenoorgehaal en my in die skouer geskiet. Myvriend het weggehardloop en dis toe wat eksien daar is nog twee ouens saam met dieskieter.“Hulle is agter my vriend aan, maar ek
het aanhou stoei. Toe hulle sien hulle kanniemy vriend in die hande kry nie, het hul-le omgedraai en teruggekomna diemotor.”Jonkers het besef dinge kan nog leliker
raak en het beoog om sy aanvaller, wat lan-ger as hy was, onder ’n aankomende vrag-motor in te gooi. “Ek was agter hom en hetsy hande bo sy kop gehou.My plan om homonder die vragmotor in te gooi het nie ge-werk en ek kon net daarin slaag om homweg van my te stamp.“Ek het begin hardloop en het elke keer
gestruikel en geval. Die twee wat agter myvriend aanwas het hulle by die skieter aan-gesluit en hulle het in die motor geklim.“Alles wat ek gehad het, was in diemotor
en hulle het alles gevat. Ek het voortge-strompel tot by ’n huis in Du Noon, waardie huismense my gehelp en die polisie ge-bel het,” vertel Jonkers moeisaam weensdie pyn.Die geworstel met sy aanvaller het 20 mi-
nute geduur.Volgens hom het die dokters gesê as die
skoot 10 cm na die ander kant was, sou ditsy long getref het en hy sou binne tien mi-nute dood gewees het.“Ek isdankbaardat ek leweenek isdank-
baar dat die mense in Du Noon my gehelphet. Dit is die eerste keer in my lewe watso ietsmetmygebeur en ek is steeds getrau-matiseerd,” sê Jonkers.Hy het mense gewaarsku om versigtig te
wees wanneer hulle op die N7 ry. Sy ouma,Amelia Jonkers, sê sy is dankbaar haarkleinkind lewe. “Ek het nie eens geweet hyis Atlantis toe nie, maar is net die Heredankbaar dat my kind veilig tuis is,” sê sy.

Finding the source“From the source in the affluent suburb
of Durbanville, it passes through the starksuburb of Kuils River, to which it gives itsname.

The streets of Elsies River maybebetterknown for its threatsof crime and gangsterism but
the smooth sax sounds of DonvenoPrins has proved that music canempower you to achieve someposi-tive dreams.On Friday and Saturday youwill
get the chance to discover thatjourney when he hosts From Elsiesto the World at the Baxter ConcertHall to give you some insights intohis career.It’s a journey that is still on apos-
itive path but like so many musi-cians on the Cape Flats it startedin the church, leading to Christ-mas Bands, and eventually touringthe world.“When I was still in school I nev-
er in a million years thought thatthis would be my bread and but-ter,” he says thinking back to hisbeginnings.“I always loved music and had a
passion for it, but it was only whenI worked for Shoprite that one dayI realised thatworking in the retailindustry was not what I was bornto do.“I remember clocking out half-
way through my shift and I neverlookedbackandhere I amtodaydo-ing the thing that I love so muchand the bonus is I’m getting paidfor it.”Clocking out on that fateful day
was the best gift that local musicwas given.Joining Abdullah Ibrahim’s jazz
programme led to his ability flour-ishing getting chosen to be part of
the National Youth Band and tour-ing to many festivals across theworld, but since then he has be-come a staple of the South Africanmusic scene.Best known forhis performances
in productions such as IntimateNights Chapter II, Love, Jazz&Du-ets and Music Alla Kaap, he’s alsoworked alongside renowned localartists such as Lloyd Cele, LoyisoBala, Jimmy Dludlu, Judith Se-phuma, PJ Powers as well as Lady
Smith Black Mambazo.“It’s always been exciting to
work with all these musicians butsome of the highlights ofmy careerand travels was when I got the op-portunity to perform with Jonat-hanButler inKenya,Nigeria, CapeTown and Johannesburg.“Also recording with Kirk Wha-
lum on his latest Gospel AccordingTo Jazz Chapter 4 with bassist Jo-nathanRoubainwasaphenomenalexperience.”
With his show at the Baxter heis inviting audiences to discoverthat journey into music.“This show and the process of
creating it hasbeen so empoweringand fresh to me,” he reflects.“Many musicians tend to be too
comfortable behind their instru-ment, but this show allows me toshowcase not just my musicalskills but also my storytelling abil-ities.“This show has also kind of

forced me to dig a bit deeper intomy heritage to find out exactlywhere I come from and the impactit had on where I’m at now.”In more recent years Donveno
has shifted into the chair of musi-cal director for productions suchas Blood Brothers, Radio Classics,Kat and the Kings, and 3 Wise Menbut he still wants to play a role inmentoring more young people todiscover the joy and empoweringforce of music.Since 2009 he has been part of the
Delft YouthMusic Academy, train-ing underprivileged youth in thecommunity to read and perform allgenres of music.“Positive music can definitely
play a big role in guiding our youthaway from negative influences.“I believe this because it’s God’s
creation it can changeanyperson’slife be it old or young, I think weneed to find different angles to pro-duce it to the kids to keep it freshand keep them interested in mak-ing music and finding their posi-tive creative niche.”

Sy is klein én getrein!STEHAN SCHOEMAN
Toe die klein Chloe Rutgers op vyfjarigeouderdomvir die eerste keer in die Bis-hop Lavis-dojo instap het die mense ge-
dink sy is by die verkeerde plek.Vandag, ses jaar later, dra sy die groen en
goud met trots.Chloe is ’n leerling aan die Primêre Skool
De Vrijzee in Goodwood.
Buitemuurse aktiwiteite“Chloe was nog altyd ’n kind wat lief was
vir sport en buitemuurse aktiwiteite. Haarbelangstelling in karate het egter van haarpeetpa en sy seun gekom wat die sport beoe-fen. Met haar gereelde kuiers by hulle hethulle vir haar bietjie geleer en besluit omhaar by Bishop Lavis in te skryf. Met haareerste besoek aan die dojo was sensei Eddiedu Plessis eers skepties omdat sy so jonkwas. Maar met hulle eerste oefensessie washy stomgeslaan en verbaas met haar poten-siaal wat sy getoon het,” vertel haar ma,Brenda Rutgers.Die suksesverhaal van Chloe het ook ’n
paar slaggate.Weens finansiële redes kon synie na plekke toer soos Kanada, Kroasië enZambië nie.“Ek bly positief en glo ek gaan nog eendag
wel finansiële ondersteuningkry enmy landoorsee verteenwoordig. Ek is baie trots opmy prestasie vroeër vanjaar in Johannes-burg toe ek my land verteenwoordig het en’n silwermedalje gewenhet inAfrika se sone6-kampioenskap.
Droom“My grooste droom wat ek baie graag wil
bereik, is om eendag deel te neem aan dieOlimpiese Spele. Dit is waarvoor ek oefen,”vertel Chloe.Karate is nie al waarin Chloe belangstel
nie, sy is ’n kranige atleet en speel selfs ’npaar instrumente soos klavier, blokfluit enkitaar.Vir nou is Chloe se fokus op die Cheetah
Challenge wat in September in Bloemfon-tein gehou word, asook die interskole-kara-tekampioenskap in Johannesburg in Okto-ber. Die rol wat sensei Llewellyn Rhodaspeel, moet ook nie gering geskat word nie.Rhoda is eenvandie redeshoekomsy so suk-sesvol is. “Sensei Rhoda motiveer my om al-tyd hoër hoogtes te bereik en ’n gedissipli-neerde deelnemer aan die sport te wees.”Chloe benodig egter die hulp van borge om
aan toernooie oor die landheendeel te neem.Mense wat haar wil bystaan, kan BrendaRutgers kontak by 083 591 0777.

Katleho Pule Mohale (19), a former headboyat El Shaddai Christian School in Durban-ville has a passion for helping others inneed.Kat, as he is known tohis friendswas iden-
tified as a leader and duly attended two pres-tigious leadership programmes inNewYorkCity, in 2011 and 2012.When Kat returned from the USA, he used
left-over pocket money from his trip over-seas to buy soccer boots and shin guards foran underprivileged deaf soccer team, thePhillipi Deaf Stars.This gesture was so well received that the
schoolboy swiftly launched a non-profit or-ganisation designed to assist township chil-dren with a passion for sports to receive therequisite equipment.The NPO, Katleho’s Give2Talent, also
knownasKG2T, has as its primary objectivethe donation of sports equipment to teamsand individuals from previously disadvan-taged areas. Others that have received fromKG2T thus far include u-15 soccer squadsfrom Klipheuwel FC, Naledi Stars FC andLiverpool-Portland FC.Kat has now progressed into the sport of
cricket, where in conjunction with DistrictNorth Cricket and the Peninsula CricketAcademy in Bellville, he has embarked ona drive to collect second-hand, unwanted orunused cricket equipment for re-distribu-tion to under-privileged schools.ThisGive2Talent cricket initiative, which
started about three weeks ago, is currentlydrivenbyDistrictNorthCricket,with sever-al second-hand kits having already been
freelydonatedbyDistrictNorthyouth crick-eters. Besides the participation of severalnorthern suburbs schools in the drive, theEl Shaddai Christian School, Kat’s formerschool has also made a donation to the drivein the form of second-hand kits.Perfect Bounce have recently come on
board and have made a generous cash dona-tion. Anyone interested in joining this in-
spiring initiative to uplift young cricketersand providing them with the necessaryequipment, can contact Kat via email [email protected] or 078 116 6342.The central drop-off location for all cricket
equipment is at the Peninsula Cricket Acad-emy situated at 8 Hof Street, Bellville. Con-tact Brent Julie on 071 842 2809 at the acade-my for more information.

LSOB-span (vir leerlinge met spesialeonderwysbehoeftes) wat vandees-week in Vanderbijlpark aan die SAAkademieweek deelneem. Hulle is diestutte Morris Nkulu en Johan Lou-rens, die vleuels Des Heunis en Allis-tairMumba, die senter Dillon Fortuinen die losvoorspeler Donald Maritz.Laasgenoemde is van De Grendel in
Milnerton, Heunis en Lourens vanJan Kriel-skool en Mumba en Fortuinalbei van Westcliff.Daarby is die WP-span se afrigter,
Riaan le Sueur (Westcliff), ook as dieafrigter van die SA span benoem.Die WP-span, wat grotendeels uit
Tygerbergers bestaan het, het tydensdie LSOB-saamtrek weggespring met‘n wegholsege van 71-12 oor KwaZulu-Natal en in die tweede reeks wedstry-de Suidwestelike Distrikte (verledejaar se kampioen) 20-13 geklop.In die hoofwedstryd op die laaste

Brackenfell se senior rugbyspan het Sater-dag met ’n oortuigende oorwinning van 48-17 in ’n uitgestelde wedstryd teen die klubHamlets nou ook ’n sterk aanspraakmakergeword op die titel in B-afdeling van die WPse Superliga.Terwyl die B-afdeling uit 15 spanne be-
staan, is dit inderdaad besonder interessantdat vier spanne in die Tygerbergstreek tansdie toon aangee. Die onoorwonne Kuilsri-vier en Noordelikes/Northlink-kollege be-klee by die seisoen se halfpadmerk die boon-ste twee plekke op die punteleer, terwylUnie-Milnerton (een nederlaag) derde lê, ge-volg deur Brackenfell (met twee nederlae insy agt wedstryde) kort op die voorlopers sehakke. Die boonste twee spanne op die pun-teleer kry aandie einde vandie seisoen outo-matiese bevordering na die sterker A-afde-ling, terwyl die spanwat derde eindig die ge-leentheid sal kry vir ’n uitspeelwedstrydteen een van die agterosse in die A-afdeling.

The South African Open national tabletennis championship took place in Bel-har last week and more than 650 play-
ers from 14 regions took part.Mitchell’s Plain native Shane Overmeyer
contested the men’s final against GautengCentral’s Terence Mathole.Overmeyer, a seven-timeSAchampionbe-
fore this year’s event, was a man on a two-fold mission. He had a score to settle withMathole, who had beaten him in 2014’s tour-nament and he wanted to prove that he wasindeed the best that Western Province (WP)had produced in recent years and claim the
national title for an incredible eighth time.Overmeyer, who plays for Bishop Lavis,
had beaten the 2014 champion, Keagan Lin-geveldt en route to the final, while Matholesecured his place in the showdown afterovercomingKurt Lingeveldt inwhatwas de-scribed as the two best matches of the tour-nament.WP featured in all but one of the finals
which preceded themen’s final (missing outon participating in the women’s final) andwith Overmeyer beingWP’s head coach, thepressure stakes increased significantly.A packed Belhar sports centre would bear
witness to one of the most epic table tennisfinals to date, providing an electric atmos-phere as Mathole received phenomenal sup-port from the crowd. This spurred him onto win the first set. This served as a catalystforOvermeyer,who dictated thematch fromthere in a display of immense patience andcontrol to win his eighth SA Open title.Overmeyer said he was nervous in the
morning and during the first set of the final,but that his best game is played when fight-ing to win, having wonmanymatches whencoming back from a deficit. He put his suc-cess down to experience on a day where it
triumphed over youth.WP’s juniors excelled. Lakeasha Johnson
won the u-15 and u-18 girls’ titles while Zak-eer Moosa was crowned the u-18 boys cham-pion. Other stand-out performers wereJesse-Leigh Nomdo (u-13 girls’ doubles andmixed champ), Cade Peters (u-15 boys singleand doubles champ), Musfiquh Kalam (u-13girls’ singles and doubles champ), TrudyBarros (u-18 girls’ doubles runner-up andu-18 mixed doubles runner-up), SimeenMookrey (u-18 girls’ singles runner-up, u-15doubles champ and u-15 mixed doubleschamp).
Mushfiqah Kalam from Bonteheuwel won the girls’ u13 final.
