CITY CENTRE

Seasons greetingsfor street peopleNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The City council is in discussions withvarious partners and stakeholders inthe city centre to consider and improve

on a seasonal project to help homeless peo-ple.

Last year, a project was run for the firsttime by the City of Cape Town and the Cen-tral City Improvement District (CCID) toprovide services to street people over the fes-tive season.

Fieldworkers from both the City and theCCID were deployed to four hotspots to en-gage with the people begging and living on

the street, explains Suzette Little, mayoralCommittee member for social developmentand early childhood development.

“Theaimof theprojectwas to gather infor-mation and conduct a report as well as builda relationship of trust with the street peoplein order to encourage them to voluntarilyseek social help,” she says.

The project came about after the CCID hadidentified three of the most prolific spots foraggressive begging in the city centre. TheCity was approached to find out whetherthey could use a few of their extra, newly ap-pointed fieldworkers to talk with people inthese areas, explains CCID communicationsmanager Carola Koblitz.

Another hotspot was identified by the Cityand added to the project.

Meaningful helpCCID social development manager Pat Ed-

dy says constant direct interaction withhomeless people within a specific area al-lows a fieldworker the opportunity to builda relationship – which is important if thefieldworker is to have any meaningful im-pact on the rehabilitation of a homeless per-son.

After assessing the circumstances of theperson, the fieldworker is able to refer to theappropriate social service support, she says.

While it is difficult to measure the success

of the project, the feedback from businessesin the area and the CCID was positive, saysLittle.

“We found fewer people begging as thestreet people saw the fieldworkers being ac-tively involved in their areas, whichchanged the misconceptions,” she says.

“There is a great need for a project of thisnature, especially during the festive season.We find that during this period many peoplemigrate to the streets with the hope of seek-ing a living and begging on the streets.”

The project for the upcoming season isstill under discussion, and its scope will de-pend on the stakeholders that partner withthe City.

The third annual Cape TownMovember waiters’ race took placeat Camps Bay High school onSaturday. All proceeds of the day,including team entry fees, food,beverages and raffles sold, will bedonated to the Movember campaignin support of Cansa and theMovember Foundation. Zane Tyobo(left) of the Tweve Apostles Hotelraced Barryl Alexander of the TajHotel in the final. Alexander kept hisnose in front to win.

Firefighters warn of easy sparksNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As fire season officially startsthismonth, theVolunteerWild-

fire Services (VWS) is calling onCapetonians to be fire aware.Always assume that awildfire or

a house fire can be ignited, saysVWS marketing director MarisaGalloway.VWS is a firefighting organisa-

tionmadeup of over 200 volunteersat four stations. Started 15 yearsago in response to devastating firesin Cape Town, the organisation isa first responder to fires in TableMountain National Park andworks closely with other emergen-cy services.“How a wildfire is started does

not change anything for us. We al-ways go out and fight fires aggres-sively but safely. It is important formembers of the public to always beaware that open fires, fireworks,Chinese lanterns and cigarettebutts not only cause damage to thenatural environment but also posemajor fire risks,” she says.A large part of fighting wildfires

safely is team work, says VWSNewlands station manager Jon-Jon Emary.“One of ourmembers hit the nail

on the head by calling what we do‘high-speed gardening’. Imaginedigging, cutting and smotheringflames in as quick a time as possi-ble for eight hours. Team work,safety, training and fitness are socrucial to what we do,” he says.“We go out together and return

together. Some days we win and

others we don’t, but every singletime we go out we do so with asmile on our faces and pride in ourhearts.”Every day is a highlight at the

VWS, Emary says.“This year alonewehave had the

biggest operational seasonwehaveever had, seen more support and

donations from the public than ev-er before andhad the largest intakeof new volunteers ever,” he says.The team was instrumental in

fighting fires earlier in the year,such as the blaze in Cape Town inMarch.“To this day theweek of the Cape

fire was the most challenging. The

management of the incredible in-flux of donations, sending out nu-merous fire crews, handling themedia and trying to squeeze somework in between it all was a hugetask. I have to takemy hat off to ev-ery single one of the amazing vol-unteers who assisted,” he says.The organisation faces some

unique challenges, with all mem-bers working as volunteers andneeding to be safely kitted out.“At times it’s a struggle. Be-

tween a very demanding day job,fire calls and managing the Newl-ands fire base, it is a massive task.The reality is that if you’re pas-sionate about it you will find thetime,” Emary says.“The costs associated with fight-

ing fires are extremely high. Justkitting out one firefighter costsabout R3000. On top of thatwe havevehicles to maintain and refuel aswell as equipment to service andreplace. It’s safe to say thatwithoutfunding we wouldn’t be able to dowhat we’re passionate about,” Gal-loway says.And input from the public is vi-

tal, especially in preventing fires,she says.“Havea smokealarminstalled in

your house. Please don’t let off Chi-nese lanterns, particularly overNew Year’s. They may seem beau-tiful, but they pose a massive firerisk. Educate your children aboutthe dangers of fires and bring themto our open day so they can learnmore about fires and the VWS,”she says.V The VWS open day will take place onSunday 29 November at the ChrysalisAcademy in Tokai forest. The family daywill let children of all ages interact withVWS volunteers, learn more about the organisation and fires and see firefightingdisplays. Entry is free and food will be onsale. Only cash and Snapscan paymentswill be accepted for food and beverages.Visit www.vws.org.za for more informationand to preregister for the open day.

Visitors to Cape Town’s top at-tractions are growing, with Kir-stenbosch seeing almost a thirdmore visitors last year.Thiswas announced at the an-

nual meeting of Cape TownTourism, with CEO Enver Du-miny attributing the boost tothe addition of new attractions.“Kirstenbosch enjoyed

growth of 29% year-on-year as aresult of adding the Boomslangtree canopy walkway – proofthat innovationworks. Theplanacross the entire tourism indus-try and the associated business-es is to provide richer travel ex-periences to visitors,” he says.Table Mountain had the sec-

ond highest growth, of almost15%. Almost 1m visitors en-joyed the mountain last year.Visitors to Robben Island in-

creased 9% and Cape Point sawa 3% increase.The V&A Waterfront still re-

ceives the most visitors – 24mvisitors last year, growing al-most 3%.“Many tourists come here to

see the iconic attractions, and,if we market them correctly, wecan make sure to offer other at-tractions in conjunction withthe more popular experiences.The major attractions have

global appeal and awareness, soit’s a great way of getting tour-ists here. Once they’re here, wethen have the opportunity toshowcase some of the lesserknown hidden gems we have inCape Town,” Duminy says.To highlight the City’s lesser

known attractions, the organi-sation recently launched a vid-eo series showcasing hiddengems inWoodstock, the city cen-tre and Kalk Bay.“These have given the viewer

fantastic insight into a richertravel experience. The ‘travellike a local trend’ is a global one– tourists don’t justwant a guidebook offering, they want to ex-perience the city the way localsdo,” he says.Cape Town Tourism has also

rolled out mobile centres to dis-tribute information to visitorswhere they are.“We’re targeting niche tour-

ism opportunities too. Businessand educational tourists will beencouraged to stay for longerand enjoy more of the city. OurInsider’s Guide mobile app al-lows these tourists to plan theirtrip in advance,” he says.The challenge remains to

combat seasonality, Duminysays. “Cape Town has plenty todo the whole year, so we areworking to findways to commu-nicate this to the world.”

New sights getmore visitors

Designers are being called totransform an inner-city walk-

way to create an accessible and in-clusive space.The Cape Town Partnership is

running a competition to trans-form the old banking hall in CastleStreet, with winning designershaving the opportunity to installtheir work in this public space.The current space, on the corner

of St George’sMall, is inactive, hasa dark facade and is uninviting, ex-plains project manager Alex Jon-gens.“Along that stretch of Castle

Street there is nothing that encour-ages people to stay in the space,have a conversation or look atsomething of interest. As such, itis only used as a thoroughfare – it’sa busy pedestrian street,” she says.This is a missed opportunity for

engagement with the public, Jon-gens believes.“Cape Town’s CBDhas so few pe-

destrianised streets. Those that ex-ist should be used to their full po-tential. Activating this facade, en-couraging people to stay in thespace by proving seats and thingsof interest will surely change thedynamic of Castle Street for thebetter,” she says.Castle Street, formally known as

Heere Street but renamed in 1790,is one of the first three streets to benamed in Cape Town. It is said tohave been the primary link alongwhich people moved stone, a pri-mary building material, from theStrand Street quarry to the Castleof Good Hope.Castle Street was pedestrianised

during the second phase of redevel-oping St George’s Mall in 1988. Inthe last few years, benches havebeen installed at the junction ofCastle Street and St George’s Mall.

Accessible public spaces are fun-damental for a healthy, efficientand democratic society, explainsJongens.“Accessible public spaces allow

citizens to move through a city, ex-perience a city, spend time in a cityand provide access to information(and possibly opportunities),” shesays.“CapeTown’s public spaces have

a long way to go to be truly accessi-ble. However, there are many pub-lic space-focused initiatives by dif-ferent public and private agenciesthat are taking measures to im-prove the inaccessibility.”The proposals will be judged by

a panel of experts working in theurban sector andwill receive fund-ing from Cape Sun, which identi-fied theneed to improve the stretchfor the public.V For more information email Jongens [email protected] or visitwww.capetownpartnership.co.za

Glass top on Melckwarehouse can go upPlans for a modern glass building on top

of the historical Martin Melck ware-house in Bree Street have been given thegreen light.The City of Cape Town’s mayoral com-

mittee decided plans by the owners of thebuilding are “consistent with the council’spolicy and spatial planning”.The decision comes after members of the

council’s committee on spatial planning,environment and land use (Spelum) reject-ed the development.The next step, following the rejection by

Spelum, was for the mayoral committee totake a final decision.The committee decided to support the ap-

plication as the proposal does not have anadverse impact on the heritage of the build-

ing and the revisedproposal for thedevelop-ment ismore sensitive to the historical con-text.The building is also deteriorating and it

is the owners’ wish to restore it, and thecommittee believes the new developmentwill breathe new life into the area.The proposal was also approved by the

South African Heritage Resource Agencyand Heritage Western Cape.The application includes requests to al-

low an overhanging canopy or balcony inWaterkant Steet and for a building closerthan 5m from the street.The applicationwas submitted to the City

ayear ago, as a reworkedversionof an earli-er proposal to build a new building on topof the Melck warehouse.

AHOY! GET ON BOARD: Sisanda FunDaytion is a Cape Town-based non-profit organisationworking with volunteers to influence the lives of disadvantaged children through recreation andfun. It hosts a different beneficiary from various communities within Cape Town each month,and creates a memorable day for the children of the beneficiary. Pictured here are some ofthe thirty children from the Ncedolwethu Educare in Mfuleni who were taken on an outing tothe Sea Point promenade on Saturday 31 October. The theme of the day was “pirates on thepromenade” and each child received a loot bag filled with pirate gear, a treasure map and differentclues that led them from one part of the promenade to the other. The treasure hunt startedat the Mouille Point lighthouse, was followed by a quick dig in the beach for some buried chocolatetreats and then the children experienced a magic show by Jacques le Sueur.

What a ride for the childrenTIYESE JERANJI

Omar Anwar (53), originally from Wood-stock, is going back to his roots by helpingchildren from the area who have an autismspectrum disorder.Autism is a mental condition, present

from early childhood, characterised bygreat difficulty in communicating andforming relationships with other peopleand in using language and abstract con-cepts.Anwar rode 1800km – from Cape Town

city centre toPietermaritzburg – in 21hoursin order to raise funds for Alpha School forpupils with autism in Woodstock.For every kilometre he reached he re-

ceived donations and all this money will gotowards helping the children. He managedto raise R24 750 for the school.This is not the first time he is doing some-

thing to give back to the community.He has run the Gun Run half-marathon

to help a paraplegic boy and raised theequivalent of three years’ school fees.

“Prior to that I initiated an autism fund-raising and awareness campaign as part ofa cycling team. Two of the team membershad autistic kids. I’ve done several charityinitiatives over the years, as a cyclist anda runner. I’ve been fortunate and I’m at astage inmy life where I want to plough backinto my community,” he says.Anwar says he was deeply touched by the

autism condition when he got involved inthe autism charity initiative two years ago.He thinks there is somuchmore that peoplecould do tohelp andhewanted to contributehis part. He is happy that he can help hiscommunity.“I’m excited about the iron butt ride and

the broader global motorcycle tour. I’ll bedoing something I’m passionate about for avery deserving cause. It will be very fulfill-ing for me.“It’s a great opportunity and I think I’m

very fortunate tobedoing something I enjoyand making a difference in someone’s lifeat the same time. I’m also happy that I man-aged to raisemoney for the children andwewill be doing more things.”

Omar Anwar rode fromCape Town to Pietermaritz-burg in less than a day toraise funds for children inWoodstock with autism.

Open area spruced upNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Amountain bike track and play area havebeen installed in public open space in

Higgovale.The City of Cape Town has teamed up

with residents of Higgovale, the Film Indus-try Fund and Table Mountain Bikers to im-prove the public open space between GlenCrescent and Leeuwenhof Road, explainsward councillor Dave Bryant.The completed upgrade now includes an

impressive mountain biking track whichwas conceptualised and installed by TableMountain Bikers after go-ahead was re-ceived from City parks.The cyclists frequently use the green belt

after evening mountain rides, and after re-pairing a few of the trails, realised the parkheld much more potential, Table MountainBikers’ Robert Vogel previously told Peo-ple’s Post (“Bike trails become family-friendly park”, 7 July).The upgrade aimed to revitalise a strip of

forested green belt with a stream, creating

an area which is both child-friendly and forserious cyclists. The completed trails caterto a range of levels.The trail upgrade comes asmountain bik-

ers are finding trails in the city few and farbetween.Most of the mountainous areas falls un-

der Table Mountain National Park; thereare only three official trails on the moun-tain. Earlier this year, one of these trailswas closed following a fire, Vogel says.The City has helped with logistical sup-

port, vegetation clearing and extra signagefor the trail. Further improvements includea new wooden play structure which hasbeen installed by the City through a dona-tion received from the Film Industry Fund.Bryant says: “This piece of public open

space is incredibly special for the communi-ty and Ihavemetwithanumberof residentsin the past to discuss potential ideas to in-crease the usage and ensure that antisocialelements do not move in. By increasing lo-cal usage of these areas we can further im-prove vigilance and combat crime and anti-social behaviour.”

tracted the attention, endorsement andeventual involvement of Peter Freestone,Freddie Mercury’s best friend, neighbour,biographer and personal assistant for 12years.

After reviewing the show while in Singa-pore in 2007, Freestone was duly impressedand contacted promoter John vanGrinsvenfrom Showtime Australia with his compli-ments.

the role of Freddie Mercury with supportfrom Australians Richie Baker, as BrianMay on guitar, and Kyle Thompson, as Rog-er Taylor on drums, and South Africa’sSteven Dennett as John Deacon on bass.Despite having worked with some of the

world’s biggest musical names, multi-in-strumentalist Taylor counts his involve-ment in Queen – It’s a Kinda Magic as histoughest musical role to date.“Freddie was known for his powerful

voice and vocal range, and had a very dis-

tinct character ingeneral, so emulatinghimis quite a challenge,” he says, adding:“Those details need to be just right for ashow of this magnitude.”

D6 claimants ‘waited too long’TIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Every month I go visit the land that wastaken from us by force. It tears my

heartwhen I seewhat the city is doing toDis-trict Six. They are building, but they don’twant to give us our land back.”These were the words of a teary Bahia

Abrahams as she marched with 200 otherpeople to the Civic Centre in the city centreto demand their land. The march was orga-nised by the District Six Working Commit-tee to addressmayor Patricia de Lille so thatthey could make some progress in gettingtheir land back.Abrahams’s family had been forcefully re-

moved from District Six. She now lives inMitchell’s Plain.The protesters handed over a memoran-

dum of grievances of 16 pages. They saidthey wanted an answer within seven work-ing days, because they had waited for toolong.Abrahams said she wanted to die in Dis-

trict Six.“Theymust just take us backwherewe be-

long. I grew up in District Six and that’swhere I want to die. Nothing is being doneabout the land, instead they keep buildingfor their own benefit. On some areas thegrass is growing again.“It’s a shame,whenwe lived inDistrict Six

wewere sohappybutbymovingus they tookourhappiness away. If theCitydoesn’t listento us this time around we will go squat onthe land. It belongs to us. Until when shouldwe wait?” she said.Darawiesa deVilliers, another land claim-

ant who is living in Lentegeur, said theywanted their land back because that iswhere their livelihood was.“People are getting old. For how longmust

wewait? They promised us thatwewill havethe land but we are still waiting. We can’twait any longer. Our lives are there. Wehave memorises there. The City must act

now; we are tired of empty promises,” shesaid.There are claims that initially 150 hectare

of land was supposed to be given back to thepeople, but with the City building on it theyonly have 42 hectare left, which is notenough for the people who were forcefullyremoved from the area.Shahied Ajam, chairperson of the District

SixWorkingCommittee, says it’s practicallyimpossible to compensate for the injusticesdone through the Natives Land and GroupAreas acts.

“No amount of money can ever compen-sate for the amount of indignities inflictedupon the people on the grounds of the colourof their skin. It is equally impossible to imag-ine how, for 21 years into democracy in thenew South Africa, a previously disenfran-chised people, who were disposed of theirrights and forcibly evicted from their homesin the apartheid era, have not yet been prop-erly restituted.“Moreover, it is unacceptable that people

continue to suffer humiliation and personalsetbacks, when they have been deprived of

their basic human rights for so long,” hesays.Thememorandum includes a proposal for

holistic remedies and calls on the City ofCape Town to act.“Since corruption crept into the first

round with the flopped housing develop-ment scheme, a forensic audit should be con-ducted into how the housing allocation toresidents presently occupyinghouses inDis-trict Six was done. We want a fast-trackingof things, because the people can’t wait anylonger.“The mayor must be brave enough to ad-

mit that urban restitution, particularly inthe case of District Six, has been a failure.Local, provincial and national governmentshouldnowbecomeproactive in their effortsto restore the people’s dignity before it is toolate, since many claimants are elderly andfear that justice may not be brought in theirlifetime,” says Ajam.

Not City’s responsibilityWilfred Solomons-Johannes, a represent-

ative of the mayor’s office, accepted thememorandum.“We will look into and respond, but this

has been communicated time and again thatthis is not theCity’smatter but of the depart-ment of rural development and land reform.The City has done what it was supposed todo and landhas been released to the nationalgovernment, so everything lieswith it. How-ever, we will help them follow the rightchannels but the people who are marchingare the very same people who are blockingopportunities for others.”Ian Neilson, deputy mayor, says the City

released 42 hectare of available, City-ownedland to the department of rural developmentand land reform in 2000 andhas budgeted forservice provision. He adds that it is the de-partment that decides which developmentoption to pursue and drives the process todeterminewhichapplicants are thebenefici-aries of the development.

About 200 people marched to the Civic Centre demanding their land in District Six back, sayingthey have waited long enough and they want to die on their land. PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJI

People are quick to complain. It’s human nature – whenyou’re not happy with something you speak up, say howyou feel, kick up a fuss until someone hears and doessomething about the problem.As recently demonstrated by university students

across the country, when you yell hard enough someoneis bound to hear and act. The students were victorious,yet now some say it’s not enough.The problem these days is that people have forgotten

the common courtesy of “Thank you”. Give them a fingerand they try to grab the whole arm, or worse, they throwit back because they wanted the pinkie, not the thumb.Often people complain about a crime-ridden alley, but

when someone takes action and closes it, those same peo-ple are unhappy because they can’t walk through it any-more. We constantly hear how long the waiting list forgovernment housing is. After years and years of waitinga family finally walks into their own home, but then it’snot good enough because it’s too small or located in thewrong area.And of course, roads . . . Everyone who owns a car has

had his fair share of traffic, but let the City dare startwithroadworks to improve the road and lessen congestion andyou hear the moaners start their engines. Or the com-plaints roll in when they put up another speed bump infront of a school.People too easily forget it is impossible tokeepeveryone

happy. The onesmaking the tough decisions about a solu-tion for a specific problem often have a much bigger pic-ture to consider too.Thehouseyouhavebeenwaiting for these last tenyears

may not be perfect or in the ideal location, but it’s yoursto decorate and cherish and share with whom you wish.The extra block we have to walk to catch a taxi or the

extra bump we have to break for in the road may be aninconvenience, but it could save a life.

‘Push-the-Pensioner Day’I would like to suggest that one day eachmonth is set aside and formally designa-ted “Push-the-Pensioner Day”. Myreasoning behind this is quite simpleand I am sure that everyone will agreewith me that the concept is quitebrilliant.As a pensioner myself, as well as

being a recovering cancer patient, Ibelieve that I’m eminently qualified totalk about this subject. Wherever elderlycitizens go these days they are constant-ly pushed, shoved and knocked out ofthe way by robust young people whoseem to be both bad tempered and in aterrible hurry.In a way I feel sorry for these young-

sters as they appear to be in a perpetualstate of desperation and aggression.Happiness and joy of life seem to havebeen lost in a fruitless search to satisfytheir egos. Although children may not

fall into this category, they have a morenovel way of offending the elderly: Theysimply refuse to acknowledge they existand cheerfully try and walk rightthrough them.If we nominated one day each month

as “Push-the-Pensioner Day” all assaultson pensioners would have to be confinedto this one day. This would leave therest of the month relatively safe forpensioners to venture onto the streetsand into malls without fear of beingknocked flying. Similarly, they wouldnot be taken by surprise as they wouldknow what to expect on these nominateddays and, preferably, elect to stay athome.Seriously though, it’s a sad indictment

on our society that the elderly andinfirm are treated with so little courtesy.

COLIN SUTCLIFFEEmail

Homes must apply to be moreThe City of Cape Town is aware thatprivate properties are increasingly beingused for various activities, for exampleas small churches or places of worship,businesses and crèches.While these uses are welcomed,

property owners must ensure that theuse of their property is in line with thezoning of the premises and consent foralternative uses must be obtained.A property zoned Single Residential 1

allows for a dwelling house to be con-structed. It also allows for additionaluses such as home occupation, a bed-and-breakfast establishment (no morethan six paying guests and no more thanthree rooms for guests) and homechildcare (a small crèche of up to sixchildren).Owners of properties zoned for Single

Residential 1 purpose must be granted aconsent use or temporary departure ifthey do not comply with the limitationsfor additional uses or want to operate aplace of worship, small business (such asa house shop), guest house or crèche(with more than six children) or want tobuild a second dwelling on the property.

If they fail to do so they will be incontravention of the property’s zoningrights. The City of Cape Town’s munici-pal planning bylaw permits the City totake a variety of actions in respect of anunlawful land use.An owner may apply to rectify the

unlawful land use or building work, butwill be required to pay a penalty.Legal action is the absolute last resort.

Therefore, property owners are encour-aged to visit their local district planningoffice to verify whether the current useof the property complies with the zoningof the premises and, if not, what processthey need to follow in order to complywith legislation. The City’s inspectorswill help property owners with anyquestions they may have about zoningmatters and building applications.Complaints relating to possible contra-

ventions are to be submitted in writingto the City’s property enforcementsection at their local planning districtoffice.

My proposalmakes roadsafety senseWe often read or hear of the carnage onour highways and byways and it wouldseem our leaders in road managementare doing their best to keep the motoristand pedestrian safe.The other conclusion one has to come

to is that motorists still do not believespeed kills. All kinds of projects havebeen launched to keep motorists incheck, like the Arrive Alive campaign. Itruns into the tens of millions of randsthat these accidents are extracting fromthe government coffers.With this sad state of affairs one would

expect proposals to bring this roadcarnage to an end. Every avenue will bedissected, analysed, tested and thenimplemented if it makes road safetysense. This is going to be my one ofmany attempts to sell my project for freeto the powers that be.When I was operational commander I

took the initiative to have huge postersmade of crime prevention hints andstuck them to my police vehicles, whichmade my police vehicles talk to thepublic when they were driven or parked,and it worked.The law enforcement officers’ vehicles,

in conjunction with other city servicevehicles like your waste collectiontrucks, should have such posters withexamples of the contravention of theRoad Traffic Act, like drunken driving,skipping red robots, speeding, with thepenalties stuck with magnets to the doorsor sides of the vehicles. While they arebeing driven or parked they warnmotorists of the consequences of contra-vening road regulations.Also look at minibus taxis to have

these posters attached to their vehicles.These posters can have hard-hitting

facts on road traffic violations withpictures. It will be in the face of motor-ists and this should have a driverthinking twice about contravening therules of the road.

A few weeks ago Aayesha Kleinsmith’sdream of representing South Africa at theWorld Karate Federation Championshipsin Indonesia seemed impossible.Now, with the help of Play Sport4Life

(PS4L), that dream has come true.Aayesha is a first-year Sports Science

student at the University of the WesternCape and a junior nidan (second degreeblack belt) from Kensington.This is the third time she has been select-

ed to represent her country. Having strug-

gled to raise funds for the first tournamentand not being able to attend the second dueto financial strain, her mother, RukeyaKleinsmith, pleaded for financial help forher daughter’s trip. By organising fun-draising events they were able to cover aportion of the money needed, but had noidea where they would get the rest.PS4Lhas sponsored the remaining funds.

The non-profit organisation, which was es-tablished in Kensington last year, supportsAayesha because she represents women insport and could be an ambassador for theorganisation in promoting women in vari-ous sports.“PS4L is home-grown and we want to

work with athletes in the area who repre-sent what we feel is needed in Kensington,”

says Kyle Inglis, operations director atPS4L. “Wewant to establish a goodworkingrelationship with her, one that can stretchfar beyond financial.”Aayesha is now able to put her energy

and focus into her training to prepare forthe upcoming tournament. She aims to doher best and make her family, friends andcommunity proud. SouthAfrica hasn’twona medal at the championships since 1997and she hopes to be the one to change that.“I’m excited and nervous at the same

time,” she says. She hopes to be an inspira-tion to the youth in Kensington, especiallygirls, to never give up on their dreams.V For more information on Play Sport4Life contactNazlie Dollie on 071 386 6573 or [email protected] visit www.playsport4life.org.
