Now it’s going bigger with the launch of its academy. Started in 2008 by Ian Smith, the group has become a major force on the South African music scene, appearing at festivals and per- formances across South Africa and over- seas. Members from that original group have gone on to further studies and have become sought-after session players with other en- sembles. This week sees the launch of the academy, and most importantly their feeder band. Trombonist Shakier Roberts is one of the members who will be part of running this initiative and feels that it is important to maintain the aims of the band. “This is an important move because we want to give youth the opportunity to discov- er the joy of making music in the same way that the original members of the band have done and gone on to success and amazing musical careers. “Members of the Delft Big Band will be mentoring and teaching the new pupils. Schools have been approached in Delft to launch our recruitment drive, and the con- cept has been met with enthusiasm from learners and teaching staff, ensuring that we have the full support of the community,” he said. Shakier also said that he felt honoured to be a part of this initiative. “I know that this is going to be another great success story from Delft and surround- ing areas,” he said. “This is what the community of Delft needs right now with all the crime and vio- lence going on around us. “It is sad that we still do not have music in our schools. This is a waste of talent! “I believe everyone should receive equal rewards in society – all the more reason why I think our youth should take advantage of this great opportunity presented by the Delft Big Band.” The young musician recalls his first en- counters with the band with fondness. “I remember when I started out from scratch, I knew nothing about music,” he says with a smile. “There was really no interest in music. In fact, I don’t think I even knew musical in- struments existed, that’s how little I knew. “This all changed when a friend of mine invited me to a practise. I found the shiny brass instruments so interesting that I at- tended the next practise the following week. I was then asked by one of the school teach- ers, who was part of the project, to join the band. I was so excited that whole week and eager to learn. I didn’t even know that the instrument I chose to play was called a trom- bone. “Soon I got my first note out of my instru- ment and I was hooked!

He laughs when he points out that part ofthose skills was getting to grips with En-glish. “Ekkanmos nie lekker Engels gepraathet nie (I could not speak English properly),but it improved tremendously sinceplayingin the band.“I learned to interact with people from
different cultures and taking responsibilityfor other tasks.“Now I am the admin officer of the band
as well, so I have some basic admin skills.I am also the head of management in theband, which is a huge responsibly, but Ihave learned to cope in stressful situa-tions.”The group still has plans of a major
launch performance in the community, sowatch this space for when it takes place.“We hope to reach a target of a few hun-
dred young musicians being given the op-portunity to improve theirmusical skills atour academy,” explained Shakier, who is afinal year BA industrial psychology majorstudent at the University of the WesternCape.“In turn, students of the academy will be
eligible for auditions for our new feederband, which will ensure a steady supply of
musicians who can step into the currentmembers’ shoes as they progress into fulltime professional musician employment.“As part of the publicity process, a free
concert is to be arranged in Delft, so thatmembers of the community can see forthemselves what can be achieved throughhard work and dedication.”
. If the launch of this initiative is notenough proof of the success of the band,then the news that one of the trumpet play-ers, Marcelle Adams, will be winging hisway overseas, is stupendous.As part of the Standard Bank National
Youth Band he was performing at the Joyof Jazz festival in Johannesburg lastmonth.There he was part of big bandworkshop ledby Bob Mintzer of the famed Yellowjackets– the rest, as they say, is what dreams aremade of.Mintzer offered the youngmusician a full

Motorists are urged to check the re-newal dates for their vehicles andnot wait for a notice.
According to a statement by the City ofCape Town, the National Department ofTransport’s (DOT) transfer of the Electron-icNational Traffic Information System (eN-aTIS) to the Road Traffic management cen-tre is affecting motorists whose licenceshave expired at the end of September andare renewable by Wednesday 21 October.This transfer has resulted in motorists
not receiving notices to renew their annualmotor vehicle licences.Furthermore, motorists whose licence
discs will expire on Saturday 31 Octoberand are renewable by Saturday 21 Novem-ber will not be receiving renewal notices.“The City asksmotorists to act proactive-
ly to ensure that the necessary arrange-ments are made and to renew discs online.
The City apologises for any inconvenienceand urges motorists to check their disc re-newal date.”You can renew your licence online by vi-

period inwhich to renew their licence discsfrom the end of their renewal period.“We are doing everything in our power
to solve the problem and come upwithmiti-gating measures. We ask that the DOT andthe Road Traffic Management Centre re-solve the transfer of the eNaTIS as soon aspossible and that this problem is sorted outbefore November, which is the busiestmonth of the year for motor vehicle licenserenewals,” says City mayoral committeemember for finance, Ian Neilson.

‘Perjury a serious offence’
Detective Constable Louis Van Wyk takes the suspect out of his patrol vehicle on his way tohis court appearance.
Making false statements to the policecan land you behind bars.“You do the crime, then do the
time,” says Brigadier Hendrik Jansen, sta-tion commander of Delft, after a 35-year-oldsuspect was arrested for perjury.According to Jansen the suspect reported
hewas hijacked on 25 July and that his vehi-cle was stolen. Investigation led to a pre-sumed suspect being arrested in BeaufortWest earlier this month, but there was atwist to the tale.
“After interrogation it was discoveredthat the complainant sold the vehicle to hisbrother, who in turn sold it to someone else.
“Not having received the full amount, thebrothers colluded to the supposed hijacking.
“The 35-year-old complainant has been ar-rested and has appeared in court. The broth-er will be arrested, soon.”
Jansen added that the complainant fakedthe crime incident with the intent that thepolice would be able to trace the buyer andhopefully recover the vehicle, not realisingthat he would be arrested for perjury.
He warned residents to refrain from thispractice.

target communities in general, differentspheres of government, parents, familiesand caregivers with special needs children.
“Our aim is to inform the public of therights of our children with Down’s syndromeand other intellectual disabilities.”Coetzee explained that these rights include
the freedom to move freely in society withoutbeing picked on, to get rid of the stigma at-tached to Down’s syndrome, as well as to beable to attend a main stream school if theirability allows them to.“Down’s syndrome can occur in any family.

it is a condition, not an illness.“So many people only know of worst case
scenarios they have heard of that they chooseto have an abortion, and these are the types
of negativities we need to get rid of.“If we can touch people and let them
know that Down’s syndrome is just a diag-nosis and not who our children are, then
we are moving in the right direction.”V For more information about the organisation con-tact Faseega Coetzee on 073 779 3357 or074 075 2401.

AKuils Rivermother says she fears forthe safety of her child after he was at-tacked in front of the family’s house
recently.The boy (15) fortunately managed to es-
cape his attackers and ran inside, Del-maine Farmer, the mother, explains.The attack occurred in the quiet Paalk-
rans Street in Elim two weeks ago.“We moved here four months ago. We
moved from Delft where violence is com-monand Ihoped that thingswouldbebetterhere, but it does not seem that way,” Del-main says.Her son,Wade,wasplayingoutside in the
street with the family’s six-month-oldAmerican pit bull terrier puppy, Emma,when the attack occurred around 19:00 onWednesday 30 September.“A white Toyota Quantum minibus
drove past the house. It turned around andwhen they cameback, they drove slowly be-fore stopping. Two men then jumped out ofthe vehicle. One was armed with a knife;the other had a gun,” says Delmain.Her son ran inside the yard closing the
gate behind him. Emma, however, was sto-len.“Hecalledout toherbut oneof themgrab-
bed her by the collar.”One of the attackers also shouted to his
accomplice to catch Wade.“We suspect they wanted the key to the
house which Wade had with him at thetime,” Delmain says.The men took Emma and sped off.“Mysonwas shocked.Hebroke into tears
when I arrived home,” says Delmain, whorushed from a nearby mall.She adds: “He does not walk around that
much anymore.”A case of robberywas opened at theKuils
River police station.Photos of the female pit bull has since
been circulated on Facebook and by someveterinary surgeons.“Emma has a micro-chip. She also has a
name tag with my contact details aroundher neck,” says dog lover Delmain.Captain Isaac van Niekerk, Kuils River
police spokesperson, says no arrests haveyet been made.V Anyone with details can contact the Kuils Riverpolice on 021 900 2800.

The St Joseph’s Home in Montana is cele-brating their legacy of caring with a specialanniversary this year.
For 80 years, they have been in the fore-front of love for chronically ill childrenwhile also caring for orphaned and vulnera-ble children of all races.
Against a background of political turmoiland poverty, the facility has survived, defiedApartheid and touched the lives of morethan 21 000 children.
On Tuesday 22 September they celebratedthis legacy with a special mass that was con-ducted by Archbishop Stephen Brislin.
Sisters from the Pallottine Order fromRome also attend while Mayco member forsocial and early childhood development, Su-zette Little, represented the City.
Located in Philippi initially, and later inMontana (1967) the facility was establishedin 1935 by ten Pallottine missionary sisterswho were called to South Africa to care fororphaned and vulnerable children.
Today, St Joseph’s Home is a registered
non-profit organisation and a proud SouthAfrican pioneer in the field of paediatric in-termediate health care.
The holistic model of service includes free24-hour general and specialised nursingcare (140 beds maximum and block rehabili-tation patients), multi-disciplinary inter-ventions such as physiotherapy, occupa-tional therapy and speech therapy rehabili-tation, social work support, on site pre- andprimary school education, parental empow-erment, specialised nutrition programmes,logistical support, training of accreditedauxiliary nurses (nursing school), pastoralcare, outreach and follow-up support visitsand volunteer placement programmes.
More than 300 children benefit from theseservices annually.
St Joseph’s director Thea Patterson saidthe facility was ideally positioned to take onthe new challenge of intermediate care ser-vice, based on a proven record of looking aft-er children with life threatening conditions.
“At St Joseph’s we know that we cannotchange the world. However, during the past80 years, we have supported and enhancedthe lives of more than 21 000 vulnerable chil-
dren from the Western and Eastern CapeProvinces of South Africa,” she said.
“We gave them a second chance at life. Wehave learnt from the past and pioneered aholistic and sustainable model in paediatricintermediate health care which is currentlyquite unique in South Africa.”
Some highlights in recent years includeopening a 25-bed ward for HIV/Aids infectedchildren in 2002. Today, this SunflowerWard still cares for at least 25 patients (0-2years) daily.
In 2008 funding was secured and the nurs-ing school reopened after being dormant forsome years. More than 100 students frompoor socio-economic backgrounds havebeen trained as auxiliary nurses and givenan opportunity to gain a qualification andemployment in the nursing sector.

Celebrations are in order at MontevideoPrimary School in Montana for theschool’s new hall.
At the forefront of these celebrations isprincipal Terence Timmet who has beenworking on this addition to the school since2008.
Since becoming principal in 2005 he hasalways put the learners at the school first,finding ways to enhance their educationalexperience.
His hard work saw the school’s computerlaboratory installed. This was followed bythe mathematics and science centre with theEarly Childhood Development classroomsthat were completed last year.
However, the quest for a school hallproved to be elusive.
“A chance meeting with a former studentcolleague set the ball rolling for communica-tion with the Archway Foundation whichsparked off and proved to be a dream whicheventually was realised on Wednesday 30September,” says Timmet about the dreamthat started in 2008.
“I knew back then that the department ofeducation would’t be able to help me and atthat time the global financial crisis started,which meant that any plans for a hall at oneof the many schools across the world wouldnot be high on any company’s agenda.
“However, I compiled a power point pre-sentation and sent it to whoever wanted toread. I had no response. I communicated mydream with the school governing body thatsupported it, but did not think we were ableto do so since our financial position would
not make it possible.”Recently he met up with Vasintha Moon-
samy with whom he studied at UCT, and sheencouraged to not give up on his dream.
“My initial letters were met with little en-thusiasm. It took the company which com-mitted itself to the construction of financial-ly and historically deprived schools more
than a month to respond to my emailed let-ters.
“The letter which followed from Archwayindicated that they would not be able to helpus in the foreseeable future and that we mustlook at other avenues.
“I must say I felt extremely despondent.That is how I concluded 2013.”
The new year got off to a good start whenAndré Alexander, CEO of the ArchwayFoundation, conveyed the news that theschool was included on a shortlist of sevenschools which would receive a hall withinthe next three years.
“However we would have to wait since thefinance provision was to be shared amongGarden Cities Archway Foundation, theWCED as well as our school,” explained Tim-met.
“The school had to start fund-raising forthis mammoth task. The WCED had to be ap-proached to make a contribution and we hadto get ourselves ready for serious financialcontribution of R250 000.”
In July of this year the school celebratedits 27th anniversary as well as the groundbreaking ceremony for their new hall, anda few months later the dream has become areality.
“I am just thankful that I can have a placeto accommodate my learners and educatorsfor all future assemblies, sports activities aswell as parent meetings,” said the happyprincipal.
“The hall will only be inaugurated duringthe first term of 2016 since the inaugurationcommittee is busy organising the event.
“Any plans for future use of the facilitywill be discussed by the school governingbody. We are a very grateful school andheavily indebted to John Matthews, manag-er of the Archway Foundation, for the visionhe has to build halls at deprived schools. Wealso want to thank André Alexander whoplayed a pivotal role.
“The school is looking towards the futurewith great anticipation and shall continual-ly strive for excellence in all spheres.”

Durbanville en Bellville het mekaar skaak-mat gesit halfpad deur die eerste reeks twee-daagse krieketwedstryde in die WP se Pre-mierliga, wat die afgelope naweek begin het.Op ’n dag wat die boulers in die meeste
wedstryde in die Wes-Kaap die botoon ge-voerhet, isDurbanville vir net 112 lopiesuit-gehaal, maar die tuisspan het Bellville daar-
na nog meer gekniehalter en tot ’n karige 98lopies beperk.Daniel Childs (5/32) en Chris Russell
(4/31) was die Bellvilliete wat die meesteskade aangerig het, terwyl die staatmakerJaco Castle (6/26) en Nathan Swartz (3/34)met hul boulwerk Durbanville die hef in diehand gegee het.Bellville se Dawie Malan was met sy 41 lo-
pies die enigste kolwer wat werklik hond
haaraf kon maak. Die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland (213) voer ’n ewe gelykopstrydteen Primrose (226/5 gesl.), danksy veralSharn Gomes (87), maar Milnerton (158 en24/1) is goed geplaas teen die Universiteitvan Kaapstad (108) ná knap bydraes deurMatthew Snyman (59), Damian Crowley (30en 2/5) en Max Woller (3/31).Dieselfde geld vir Edgemead (149/6) teen
Claremont (107) metMario Stoop (65) en Ste-
fan Joubert (3/32) aan die voorpunt van dieEdgemead-manne.Die Tygerberg-klub (106) is nog nie uit die
prentjie teen Montrose (127) nie, met Lu-waaz September (5/23) en Neil Abrahams(44) sover die Tygerbergse staatmakers.Noordelikes-Goodwood (56 en 78/3) het ’n
steil bult om te klim teen Vishoek (171), on-danks bydraes van DerickBrand (48*) en Ja-son Underwood (32).

JOSEPH PILLAY
Legendary soccer player Daniel “Dot”Borman, a phenomenal professionalplayer in his heyday, may have relived
some of his glory days this past weekendwhen he led his charges, the board side ofCape Town Tygerberg, to clinch the seniordivision of the interprovincial Goodwilltournament.A remarkable fight byCTTygerberg –who
trailed 1-0 at the break – turned the secondhalf on its head to beat a gutsy and hyped-upEast London Central side 3-1.Spare a thought for Charles Petersen, the
East London Central coach who agreed thathis boys ran out of stream in the secondstance with tired legs in a three-day tourna-ment that was a bit taxing on the players.Nonetheless, Aviwe Klaas, who was also
chosen as the player of the tournament,opened the scoring for the visitors fromEastLondon. They held onto their 1-0 lead at theinterval.After the changeover a much-focused and
resurgent CT Tygerberg side started toknock theball aroundandbegan toplaywithpurpose, often putting severe pressure ontheir opponents.It also must be said that CT Tygerberg
goalkeeper Shirau Wilks (goalkeeper of thetournament) kept his side in the game.Meanwhile, Fernal Abrahams equalised
matters for Tygerberg early in the secondhalf after good assist play through WagietDamont. The team later surged 2-1 aheadthrough an Armien Campbell goal.In the later stages of the game Tygerberg’s
Charles van der Vent was fouled in the pen-alty area and Abrahams sealed the matchand his second goal from the spot kick (3-1).In the semi-final berth the action was just
as captivating if not as exciting – especiallythe Eastern Cape derby in which East Lon-don Central shaded Northern Areas fromPort Elizabeth 2-1, thanks to second-half
goals by Sheldon Stevens and Alistair Vis-age.Sergio Vardy gave Northern Areas the
lead midway through the first half.In the other semi-final CT Tygerberg, who
earlier in the round robin format lost 2-0 toCape district, set the cat among the pigeons,this time thanks to a solid strike by IekeraanPeterson. CT Tygerberg won 1-0.The top goalscorer prize went to Enrico
Plaatjies of Northern Areas. He banged insix goals while Marlon Hansby of NorthernSuburbs won the referee of the tournamentaward.Tournament coordinator Iqbal Kasker
said the tournament once again broughtplenty new and refreshing ideas to adminis-trators as well as to soccer players forgingrelationships on and off the field.“This concept of interactingwith local soc-
cer associations may not be like that of pastinterprovincial soccer, but through this ini-tiative at local level we seek further to en-hance the overall development of promotingamateur football development in the region– theGoodwill tournament is all about show-casing the wealth of talent across the face ofthe country,” said Kasker.Nathan Less, president of the host Cape
District, said he was pleased with the turn-out and that the three-day Goodwill tourna-ment brought spectators from far and wide.He hopes in the broader sense the initiativewill inspire other, more fun-loving soccerfans and local associations to embrace it andparticipate.
Results:U.11 Cup Final: Northern Areas 4, CT Tyg-erberg 2 (pen, 0-0).U.13 Cup Final: Northern Areas 2, North-ern Suburbs 0.U.15 Cup Final: CT Tygerberg 5, NorthernSuburbs 4 (pen, 2-2).U.17 Cup Final: Northern Areas 1, North-ern Suburbs 0.
