The pupils from Christel House in Ottery have taken their places at their study venue known as the farm since Friday 28 October. They will stay there until their final exami- nations are done. Currently running for the second year, the school’s farm programme was introduced to help matriculants keep focused during their last year at Christel House, a not-for-profit school for pupils living in abject poverty. Engineering graphics and design teacher Randall Daniels says pupils find the envi- ronment improves their learning experi- ence and they make the most out of their time at the farm. “We have to be realistic when it comes to our learners and the reality is that they come from homes or communities where it will be a challenge to prepare for their ex- ams. This is why the programme was intro- duced to the school and so far it has shown real success. Our 100% pass rate last year is testimony to that,” Daniels says. Pupils visit the farm at the end of every semester to prepare for their exams and are housed for the entire exam time. “The girls are housed on one side of the farm and the boys in another section of the farm. They are then also divided into groups that will take care of the cleaning roster, each with a captain. This way the learners are also taught to be responsible,” Daniels adds. History teacher Shaun Stevens explains the groups are supervised by a rotating schedule of teachers who come to the farm and prepare learners for specific subjects three days before the time. “This is what Christel House is doing for its learners; ensuring that learners get the best out of their learning experience. “We do not know what other schools do for their matriculants to offer support, but this is what we’re doing and it’s working,” says Stevens.

But now, as he prepares to write the biggestexam of his life so far, he expects to excel.
Clayton is one of the star learners atChristel House.
One of the many prizewinners rewardedat the Christel House valedictory ceremonyin October, Clayton has benefited from theschool’s holistic approach to learning, in-cluding the farm study programme.
After participating in the farm study pro-gramme this year, Clayton shot up to tenthplace in his grade. He also received anaward in recognition of the way he conductshimself.
The mission of the school is to break thecycle of poverty through a holistic approachthat includes nutrition, social support, med-ical care, community outreach and high ed-ucational standards. The matric pass ratesince the school’s inception has been 100%and, last year, the matric exemption passrate was 64%, well above the national aver-age.
At the valedictory ceremony, principalRonald Fortune said he expected even bet-ter results from this year’s Grade 12learners and called them “a very specialclass”.
“We are expecting more distinctions fromthis class than previous years and also tar-geting a higher bachelor pass rate of 75%,”he said.V * Not his real name.

Vyf mans van Ravensmead en Uitsig hetVrydag in Bellville probeer wegkom met ’nbakkievrag vol koper, aluminium en lug-verkoelingsonderdele.
Kapt. Fienie Nimb, Bellville-polisie-woordvoerder, vertel hoe twee beamptes
omstreeks 14:00 gesien het hoe drie mans diebetrokke materiaal uit ’n winkeltrollie opdie bak van ’n Isuzu-bakkie in Carl Cronje-straat laai.
“In die bakkie was nog twee mense. Diedrie mans het toe agterop die bakkie ge-
spring en hulle het begin wegry,” vertelNimb.
Sy sê die lede het hulle agternagesit en af-getrek en al die materiaal in die bakkie ge-vind. “Die mans het beweer dat hulle dit in’n asblik opgetel het. Die lede het hul alibiopgevolg, maar dit was ongegrond,” sêNimb. “Die bestuurder het ook ’n vuurwa-pen by hom gehad, waarvan die lisensie ver-val het. Hy is aangekla onder die vuurwa-pen- en ammunisiewet.”
Sy sê die ander vier is in hegtenis geneemop aanklag van besit van koper as vermoe-delik gesteelde eiendom.
“Die afgelope maand het verskeie sake-persele deurgeloop. Onderdele van lugver-koelers en aluminium is gesteel. Die moont-likheid word ondersoek dat die mans hierbybetrokke was,” sê Nimb.
Sy sê die vermoede bestaan dat die bakkiedie verdagtes in Bellville afgelaai het om ko-perdrade en ander materiaal te versamel, enhulle dan weer later met die buit op te tel.

The next event, focusing on the linkbetween substance abuse and mentalhealth, is on 20 November from 13:00 to15:00 at the clubhouse.V Those interested can RSVP to Debbie Minnaarat ward 5 on 021 940 4508/9 or by email [email protected].
Thanks to the hard work, dedicationand the help of a local non-profit orga-nisation (NPO), a man who has been
missing formore than three decadeswas re-united with his family.“We met Madiba on the streets of Eerste
River, a seemingly lonely man.“He looked like someone without a home
or family support,” says Vuyolwethu“Vuyo” Sambu, projectmanager of theNPOShining Community Development Pro-gramme.
“We introducedhim to theLordJesus andHis love, and he accepted. This marked thebeginning of transformation in Madiba’slife,” Vuyo says.
David “Madiba” Toto (60) had been with-out his biological family for over 33 years,living in Cape Town.“When we visited him at a friend’s place,
we found him sleeping outside, at the backof the house. The name ‘Madiba’ is a namereceived from his peers,” Vuyo says.
Having met Madiba and seen his situa-tion, the team was filled with compassionand decided to act.“We took him toHomeAffairs for an iden-
tification document for the first time in hislife.” They also assisted him with receivinghis social grant.The team thenwent a step further and em-
barked on searching for Madiba’s family.“We located his family in Queenstown in
the Eastern Cape. When he spoke to his sis-ter on the phone, he wept, giving thanks totheLord.He couldn’t believe it,”Vuyo adds.
He said the tears in Madiba’s eyes weretears of gratitude. He had left the EasternCape in 1982, his sister explained. He neverreturned home. Hewas taken back home onFriday 23 October. “This was a lengthy and
wearisome process to the Shining Teammembers, even discouraging to a certainproportion at certain times, but we carriedon through the Lord’s grace, for we knowthat God’s will overcomes all obstacles,”Vuyo says.He says: “Madiba’s family could not hold
back their tears. Filled with gratitude, theyexplained to the team that they thought thattheir brother had died.”Madiba’s family has promised to take
good care of him, Vuyo says.
‘Madiba’ and familyreunited after 33 yrs
David ‘Madiba’ Toto (60) was reunited withhis family in Queenstown after being missingfor more than 30 years in Cape Town. He wasreunited thanks to the assistance of localEerste River NPO.

Plastic waste in, diesel fuel outDESIRÉE RORKE
@dezzierorke
Seeing is believing.On Wednesday last week a group of
engineers from Japan demonstratedhow waste plastic fed into the one side of aconversion plant is spewed into a bottle onthe other side andused to fuel a diesel drivenvehicle.This jaw-dropping demonstration took
place at the ribbon cutting of a plastics-to-oilconversion plant that opened at the Kraai-fontein waste management facility.A first of it kind in the country, this facili-
ty was made posible thanks to a $1 milliondonation by the Japanese government andthe pyrolysis plant technology developedand supplied by Japanese companies CFPCorporation and Kanemiya Co. Ltd in a col-laboration with the City of Cape Town andJapan international cooperation agency.After two years of preparation and hard
work this project will now enter a six-monthpilot phase to gain insights into the commer-cial potential for creating fuel from plasticwaste diverted from landfill sites.The Japanese ambassador to South Afri-
ca, Shigeyuki Hiroki, said that Japan wasone of the most waste conscious nations inthe world and that sustainable developmenttops their list of global agendas.Since coming to South Africa in 1997 Jica
has partnered with many South African en-tities in several development projects.In its profile Jica president Akihiko Tan-
aka states that the people of the world havebecome more interdependent as globalisa-tion continues. “And as a keymember of theinternational community, Japan has a dutyto address global issues in developing coun-tries.” This policy is motivated by the factthat 80% of the world’s seven billion popula-tion is currently living in developing coun-tries.
“Japan is aworld leader inwasteminimisa-tion and applying their technology in a localcontext aligns with the City’s commitment toa future that is more energy secure, resourceefficient and resilient to the impact of climatechange,” said Mayco member for utility ser-vices, Ernest Sonnenberg.Byusing the existing structures in the form
of its Think Twice recycling collection initia-tive, the City, with the technical assistancefrom the Japanese engineers, built on availa-ble resources to support the functioning ofthe plant.Tetsuya Sato, project manager from the
CFP Corporation, briefly explained the proc-ess known as pyrolysis, which uses thermaltreatment to convert plastic to fuel.“Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposi-
tion of material at elevated temperatureswhich involves the change of chemical com-position. Three types of plastics – polyethyl-ene, polypropylene andpolystyrene, allmain-ly harvested from the recycling plant – arebrought to the processing plant where it iswashed, dried, extruded and shredded. It isthen fed into a reactor where it is heated andcooled to be converted into oil.”The yield of 500kg of plastic per day works
out to approximately 500 litres of fuel.These yields will be assessed by specialised
technicians on site to determine the qualityand quantity of fuel being produced in differ-ent combinations and ratios.“Ultimately, the aim is to test the best com-
binations to yield the highest quality.”Approximately 70% of fuel produced by the
pilot plant will be channelled back into therunning of the plant, powering the 150 kilo-watt generator on site. The rest could be usedto power any other machinery that runs ondiesel if the oil is of a good quality.“The rising volumes of waste material pro-
duced in countries across theworld representa problem that cannot be ignored. They posea threat to the health of the environment, and
to humans. Sadly, we are united as a globalcommunity in this regard,” Sonnebergsaid, expressing his hope that through thispartnership the Citywill be able to explorepossibilities and share ideas.Sonnenberg says the amount of waste
plastic as one of the major materials inSouth Africa, is increasing at a rate of 6%,while the City’s recycling rate at 16% isstill low. The bulk of the waste is sent tolandfill sites.“In terms of the national waste manage-
ment strategy of 2011, South Africa aimsto achieve a recycling rate of 25% of thewaste currently sent to landfill by the endof 2015. Considering this, we are very keento learnaboutnew technologies thatwouldhelp us to achieve this, as South Africa isthe only G20member in Africa and consid-ered a newly industrialised country.”
Tetsuya Sato explains the heat process that takes place in the reactor to Sonnenberg and cityengineer Dr Gisela Kaiser who is also executive director of utility services.

Dash of faith for entrepreneurs

Without faith, no amount of fundingor rhetoric can help entrepreneurssucceed in their enterprises.
This is thebelief of theActsBusiness Insti-tute which was launched at the Sanlambuilding in Bellville last Friday.This faith-based organisation aims to sup-
port small business owners through devel-oping them into professional entrepreneurs.Xolisa Aubrey Mcetywa, chief executive
officer and co-founder, said that the instituteaims to ensure that the members have ac-cess to basic building blocks for any smallbusiness.“These building blocks consist of training,
funding, preferential support as well as thepositive attitude. We are a faith-based orga-nisation because religion is part of commu-nities and it is extremely important becauseas an entrepreneur if you don’t believe inyourself you will never be successful,” hetold the attendants – the majority of thembusiness owners.The organisation is set to initiate mentor-
ship networks, motivational workshops aswell as one on one professional support thatwill deal with confidence, self-esteem, self-belief, a culture of celebrating success andmental strength to deal with pressure.In line with this importance of self belief,
communication mogul and public speaking,Bonke Shipalana was invited to be the guestspeaker.Shipalana is a PR and marketing guru
who amongst others counts the inception of
the television show “So you think you arefunny” and running thePR campaign for thelaunch of the Mandela notes.He is the founder and chairman of Power
of 1 (leadership agency) and CEO of TheCommunications Firm.“One of the biggest mistakes is to lie to
yourself. Don’t do that. If youpromisedyour-self that you will do something, do it. Don’tbe afraid of failure because it is through fail-
ure that you learn to succeed,” he said.Another inspirational speaker, Lebo Gun-

Children support kids in Fuel2GrowMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Canal Walk buzzed with excitement aschildren across Cape Town came outto show their support for others.
Ikamva Labantu, a community drivennon-governmental non-profit organisationthat delivers social support services intownship communities in Cape Town, host-ed a fun day in aid of their Fuel2Grow cam-paign.
Launched last week, the campaign aimsto highlight the need to feed children nutri-tious meals.
In a statement, Ikamva Labantu directorAnanda Nel explains food insecurity inSouth Africa is real.
“Around 3.3 million children live in
households where there is food insecurity– children can’t play, learn, dream, or be in-spired when their immediate need is foodto fill their tummy – they need fuel.”
According to Nel, they aim to raise R2,5mover the next four months. This will enablethe organisation to feed 650 children intheir programmes during 2016.
She further explains R15 a day providesone nutritious cooked meal, R75 providesmeals for a week, R300 for a month andR4000 for a year.
“If we can’t provide our kids with at leastone meal a day, our efforts to inspire andeducate them will be lost as their focus willbe on the physical hunger they are experi-encing.”
During the fun day, children participatedin various activities including a Mad Hat-
ter’s party, writing letters to San-ta and campsite storytelling.Each activity costs R30 and byparticipating, children werehelping to provide a meal for twoother children.
“We want to show parents thata child can only be a child if oneof their most important needs,namely nutrition, is addressed. Itwill be our first shopping centrepromotion ever. We’d like tothank the Canal Walk Founda-tion for their involvement and ex-cellent support of NGOs workingin township communities. It is awell-known brand and we’re hon-oured to be associated with it.”V For more information, please visit thewebsite www.fuel2grow.org.

Udumo’s décor readyESMÉ ERASMUS
@erasmusesme
The award the Tyger Valley shoppingcentre recently won with its Christ-mas décor last year is not even gather-
ing dust yet, or the Durbanville women be-hind the scenes are ready to launch theirnext Udomo designs.
San-Marie Vogel from Durbanville found-ed Udomo Designs, a non-profit partnershipbetween the local community, OakhillChurch (previously known as DurbanvilleFamily Church) and a few passionate indi-viduals last year to create Christmas deco-rations with a South African feel to them.
Tyger Valley Shopping Centre recentlywalked away with the Spectrum Award inthis year’s Footprint Awards for its refresh-ing proudly South African approach to itsfestive décor in December 2014.
This annual award ceremony is hosted bythe South African Council of Shopping Cen-tres (SACSC) with the aim of recognisingoutstanding marketing, innovation, crea-tive initiatives and economic success.
This year Tyger Valley will again have aSouth African Christmas, but with an en-tirely different look and feel, says Vogel.
The designs will be more simplistic andradiate a “festival of light” theme.
This will include an African inspired na-tivity scene featuring sable horns, a thornycrown, angles, doves, the Bethlehem starand the baobab tree.
Lizette Dupisanie, wife of Pastor LouisDupisanie of Oakhill Church, created thecircular design for the material, which wasinspired by traditional shweshwe textiles.
A group of unemployed women from Wal-lacedene in Kraaifontein were put througha local entrepreneurship course to producethe range of Christmas decorations.
They also helped to create various scattercushions, table cloths, aprons, bags, otto-mans and a myriad of other items, that willbe sold at a pop-up shop in Tyger Valleyfrom 20 November to 24 December.
Decorations will be going up this week.V Contact SanMarie Vogel at media@udumodesigns.co.za or 082 853 2667 or visit www.udumodesigns.co.za for more information.

pendent living skills of daily living, self-de-termination and interpersonal skills, andemployment skills for each individual stu-dent,” Erasmus says.At the centre they will be taking the spe-
cific strengths of the adolescents andyoungadults into account as far as possible.“Our aim is to optimise autism in such

quired, but an assessment of the studentand an interview with parents or othercaregivers will be required before place-ment.The Life Start centre will be open to all
autistic patients between the age of 16 and22, who meet the following requirements:able to communicate, follow verbal or writ-ten instructions, function in a group set-ting, and use the bathroom independently.

From a handwritten script on a few tat-tered pages to the screen,Quest is livingproof that dreams do come true.
The film, written by Manenberg’s AndréManus with the help of Theo E. Davids andthe Bridgetown Theatre Company, willmake its debut on local television this week-end.Quest was born out of André’s day to day
experiences inhis community.While hewasfilledwith enthusiasmandpassion to tell hisstory of living in the gang-infested and sub-economicManenberg, hedidn’t know theba-sics of screenwriting.He approached the Bridgetown Theatre
Company (BTC) that provides training increative arts and filmmaking with his loosepages, and asked them to help him turn his
script into a screen play. BTC in turn intro-duced André to director and writer TheofromGemini Twins Films and the two beganto knock out the story of Quest together.As a former high school teacher who grew
up in Bridgetown himself, Theo identifiedwith André’s story. In fact, it was only afterthe fall of apartheid that Theo got the oppor-tunity to follow his own filmmaking dreamsand working with André was a way for himto “pay it forward”.Having found his director, André still
faced many more challenges. Being unem-ployed, he had no access to a computer ortelephone. He often had to walk the 10km toBridgetown to work with Theo, while at thesame time contending with frequent gangfights and shootings in Manenberg.Then there’s the fact that he was ridiculed
by his neighbours for being a dreamer.Mounting negative influences caused An-
dré to doubt himself, but instead of givingup, he drew inspiration from the violence,unemployment and poverty surroundinghim.Theo eventually gifted André with a com-
puter and a year later the two had finishedtheir screenplay for Quest.Their next step was to find funding. They
applied at several intuitions without suc-cess, and while there were organisationswilling to fund the film, it would be at theexpense of artistic control.Not wanting to change their script, André
and Theo decided to produce Quest inde-pendently and Theo appealed to the localfilm industry for help.They soon had a professional cameraman,
a sound engineer and a productionmanager
on board. BTC supplied the actors and crewwhile the community stepped up to providelocations, transport and food.In the end Quest, which was filmed in
Bridgetown, Silvertown, Rylands and Atho-ne, became a community project.The film tells the story of a young drug ad-
dicted mother forced to sell her intelligent14-year-old daughter to a drug lord to settleher debt. The girl eventually escapes her lifeof prostitution to find her mother a changedwoman, begging the question: Will she for-give her?Quest will be screened on DSTV channel
263 and CTV (Cape Town Television) on Fri-day 13 November at 22:00 with a repeat onSunday 15 October at midnight.V Visit the Bridgetown Theatre Company Facebookpage or call 082 536 3651 for more information.

Lara Potgieter (27) from Milnerton ishelping children at child and youth carecentres around Cape Town to find a quietspace “to step outside the cycle of dramathat is their lives” for an hour-long yogaclass per week.One of these centres is the Holy Cross
child and youth care centre in ParowVal-ley, formerly known as the Holy Cross or-phanage, where almost a hundred chil-drenbetween theagesof twoand18attendher classes in the different age groups.The ten-week yoga programme is the
second of a number of modules that sheis presenting here asmanager of theHeal-ing Earth Foundation, an NPO that en-courages the holistic development of chil-dren.“The foundation aims to nurture and
develop conscious, healthy earth chil-dren of all ages through opportunitiesthat allow for connectingwith the self, theenvironment and all beings. Ourmain ob-jective is to provide for the holistic devel-opment of the children, which includestheir physical, social, emotional, intellec-tual and spiritual development,” Potgiet-er says.She started working with the children
atHolyCross in July, when she presenteda “Heal your life” programme, an interac-tive curriculum which, she says, sheworked through word for word with theolder children. The programme focusedon themes such as uncovering negativemessages and affirmation, through inter-active exercises, group sharing and roleplay.“As this module progressed the chil-
dren, especially teenagers, started open-ing up, often crying or laughing,” shesays. And this expression, she says, isvery important and therapeutical.Othermoduleswill follow once the yoga
programme is completed.“We will host emotional freedom tech-
nique sessions, art therapy, meditationand breathing work, pamper sessions, en-vironmental education and activism pro-jects (including beach clean-ups, naturehikes, alien vegetation removal, tree andvegetable planting sessions, humane edu-cation and more), as well as training as-
piring wellness therapists from underprivi-leged backgrounds,” she says.The Healing Earth Foundation’s other
beneficiaries include child and youth carecentres, shelters for abusedwomenand chil-dren, prison rehabilitation centres, and edu-cational facilities for underprivileged wom-en.“While there are many wonderful organi-
sations serving the basic needs of our youth,the importance of their psycho-spiritual de-velopment and the finer nuances of theirphysical well-being should not be underesti-mated,” says Potgieter. “We were fortunateenough to witness a beautiful blossoming ofthe teens’ self-confidence through the per-sonal development programme, and watch-
ing the kids get in touch with their littlebodies and big souls as they movethrough the yoga exercises is equally ex-citing.”Potgieter is a former Miss Earth South
Africa finalist and magazine editor. Shehas gone through a lot of anxiety whenshe was younger, she says, and a holisticapproach helped her out of it.By working with the children, she is
now living her dream.“I wanted to take the importance of
mindfulness, self-awareness and healingsomewhere,” she says.V For more information on the Healing EarthFoundation and how you can become involved,visit www.healingearth.co.za.

Suidooster waai nou ook op skermsDESIRÉE RORKE
@edezzierorke
Sowaar as wat die Kaapse suidoosterwaai, gaan ’n nuwe sepie Suid-Afri-kaanse kykers vanaf 16 November drie
keer ’n week vir ’n halfuur in hul stoele vas-genael hou.Suidooster, kykNET en kykNET & kie se
nuwe sepie, is Donderdagaand te midde van’n groot feestelikheid by hul ateljees in Mil-nerton aan lede van die stad se media be-kendgestel.
’n Lang verlore dogter, ’n jaloerse oususwat dalk te diep in die bottel kyk en boonop’n middeljarekrisis beleef, ’n eiendomsmag-naat met onderduimse planne en ’n onder-linge “samoesa-oorlog”, is net ’n paar vandie sappige intriges waarvoor kykers hullippe kan aflek.
Die verhaal, die eerste Afrikaanse sepiewat in Kaapstad verfilm word, vertel van diemense van Suidooster, ’n klein winkel- en sa-kesentrum in Ruiterbosch, ’n fiktiewe voor-
stad in Kaapstad.Drie gesinne lewe en werk saam en deel
noodwendig in mekaar se lief en leed.Tussendeur die gange van ’n gastronomie-
se feesmaal, voorberei deur Johnny Ham-man en Marius Uys van die Kokkedoor-faam, het die eerste twee episodes as lusma-ker vir die media gedien.
Paul Venter, vervaardiger by Suidooster-films, sê Suidooster is eg Kaaps en gaan ky-kers van die eerste episode af voor die kassievasgenael hou.
“Suidooster is vir alle Afrikaansspreken-des en sal tuis in elkeen se huis voel. Dit salmense warm laat voel en vir hulle daagliksiets beteken.”
Dit het ’n blitsvinnige 5 maande en 15 daegeneem om alles gereed te kry – van die aan-kondiging op 1 Junie tot die eerste episodewat op 16 November uitgesaai word.
“Die verfilming van Suidooster, in ’n atel-jee wat voorheen ’n Makro-groothandelaargehuisves het, het op 5 Oktober begin endaar word daagliks een episode per dag vir
vier dae ’n week verfilm, met buiteskote op’n vyfde dag,” het die akteur Hannes vanWyk gesê.
Daar is 65 permanente personeel wat opSuidooster se stel werk.
“Die akteurs en produksiespan val reedssoggens 07:30 by die ateljee in en werk totomstreeks 19:30 saans. Om een episode van22 minute uit te saai, skiet drie kameras virongeveer 10 ure elke dag – wat beteken onge-veer 30 ure se skietwerk word na 22 minutegesny.”
Die musikant Alistair Izobell het spesiaaltwee liedjies vir Suidooster gekomponeer,waarvan een as die aansteeklike temaliedingespan word.V Suidooster sal vanaf 16 November op Maandae,Dinsdae en Woensdae om 18:00 op kykNET en kykNET & kie. uitgesaai word, met ’n herhaling op daardie aande om 20:00 op kykNET & kie. Nog herhalingssal op ander tye plaasvind. Besoek gerus die kykNetwebtuiste by kyknet.tv vir inligting oor programskedules. Vir ’n voorskou van Suidooster, besoek http://bit.ly/suidooster.

T’BURGER SPORTSTAR OF THE MONTH: BRETT HOWBURG
Local lad one of bestSTEHAN SCHOEMAN
Brett Howburg from Kraaifontein isnot only one of South Africa’s finesttransplant athletes, but as a matter
of fact one of the world’s best.The 17-year-old Grade 11 learner from
Monument Park High School is the Tyg-erBurger Sportstar of the Month winner.
Brett received a liver transplant backin 2008 after being diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, biliary atresia,which affects the liver function soon aft-er birth.
“Soon after I had the transplant I foundout about the World Transplant Gamesand I competed in my first championshipback in 2013, which was held in Durban.There I won bronze medals in shotputand the 100m. It was then and there thatI realised I am good enough to competeagainst fellow transplant athletes fromacross the world.
“In August we as team South Africacompeted in the 20th World TransplantGames in Argentina. It was a good feelingrepresenting my country on the interna-tional stage,” said Brett.
The 100m dash is his favourite eventand this is where he won his first goldmedal in a time of 11:50. He went on to
win an- other gold medal for shotput with adistance of 8.07m and silver for long jump in4.9m.
“Winning gold is a feeling that is hard todescribe and it makes me want to train evenharder for the next championship event inSpain 2017.
“Mariaan Meyer, who coaches me at theParow Athletics Club, plays a major role inmy success along with my family who sup-ports me. I am truly blessed to have such agreat support structure.”
Brett trains three to four times a week fo-cusing on speed, strength and stamina.
The goal for this youngster is to be the fast-est transplant athlete on the planet.
Brett wins himself a pair on sunglasses ofhis choice from Bosman, McNulty and DuToit Optometrists, R1 000 from Shihan Hen-nie Bosman (Welgemoed Kyokushin-kan do-jo) and free body assessments from dr KostaKapnias at Ready Room in Willowbridge.

A Western Province contingent represent-ing Savetts (South African Veteran TableTennis) had a great showing at the SouthAfrican Table Tennis Board’s NationalVeterans’ tournament held in Orkney re-cently.
In the men’s 40+ open, Warren Julius, anovice, narrowly lost to the experiencedRainer Stabz in a hotly contested quarterfinals match. The other novice, AshleyWesson, (dubbed Wes Wang Chu), had arude awakening when he faced DarrylWilliams (dubbed The Godfather) in the
other quarter final. Williams went on tothe semi-final of the 40+ and lost to Abdulfrom Gauteng Central in a very subduedfive-setter.
Williams, who was in tremendous paindue to an injured lower back, later said hewas conserving his energy for the 50+event which he comfortably won by defeat-ing team mate Basil Shapiro.
Steven Brown, also from Savetts, con-tested the other 40+ semi-final in anothervery close match against Ismail Badatfrom Gauteng Central.
Gauteng’s Abdul Hayes was victoriousover team mate Badat to win the covetedmen’s 40+ event.
Savetts duo Brown and Shapiro comfort-ably defeated their WP counterparts anddefending champions Mahdi Adams andAnver Lyners in the men’s doubles event.Frans Erasmus and Demos Dracoulides, al-so from Savetts, caused quite a stir whenthey clawed their way back from a 2-0 defi-cit to defeat the partnership of Badat andAbdul.
Their joy was short-lived though. Long-
standing doubles duo Brown and Shapiroproved to be too strong for them and theyhad to settle for silver. Brown and Shapirocomfortably won gold.
Mixed doubles duo Sheila Page and Ba-dat were triumphant over novices Wessonand Dellareese Hartman to obtain gold.Page and Jeanette van der Walt took silverin the doubles and Hartman and her part-ner won bronze.
However, the star of the tournament wasundoubtedly Page, who has been the mostconsistent over the past five years.
