StenchworrieslocalsTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Claremont residents say their health is at risk becauseof pollution from the removal of underground fueltanks in their area.

The petrol fumes coming from the garage at the cornerof Wolsey and Imam Haron roads is worrying residents be-cause it has crept into their houses.

Residents say the removal work started last week andsince then it has been unbearable to stay in their houses.They say the stench of petrol is all over. They believe thefumes will linger in their homes for some time and havea bad impact on their health.

One resident, Prakash Khusal, says the smell in his kitch-en and bedroom is so bad that now and again he has to goout and walk around to breathe fresh air. “It’s so bad and

we are coughingtremendously be-cause of thefumes. My wife isvery upset andmy son is not cop-ing at all. Eventhe dog is havinga difficult timeplaying outside.

The fumes will really make us sick and they just starteddoing the work without any preventative measures beingtaken. It’s even worse for some of us who are old, our im-mune systems are not that strong. I’m coughing all the time.I can’t eat properly because the fumes are making me nau-seous,” says Khusal.

Christina Roger, another resident, says they fear gettingsick. “I can’t take my morning or afternoon walks as usualbecause of the fumes. They make breathing so difficult.Staying at home isn’t any better because the house also isn’tgetting any fresh air. The air is contaminated with thefumes and you can smell the petrol, which is very unpleas-ant,” she says.V Continued on page 2.

Simon Gwegwe, foreman at the garage, saysthey are removing the tanks and will be gonein no time.

“We have received complaints from theresidents and we are trying our best to finishquickly. We have been placing dry soil wherewe removed the tank and where there werespillages so that the residents won’t be affect-ed by the smell.

“We are waiting for results from the de-partment of environment affairs as well totell us if the soil is contaminated, then we willknow what to do with the sand that has pet-rol. If it’s contaminated it has to be removed.If not, we have to put some more dry soildown, so that the people don’t smell thefumes,” he says.

According to the City of Cape Town, the

City’s air quality officer visited the site andfound an odour complaint from a resident ofWolsey Road was justified.

Siyabulela Mamkeli, mayoral committeemember for health, confirms the contractorhad the soil on site sampled and backfilledthe site. The responsible garage companyhad also reported the site as being contami-nated to the department of environmental af-fairs and had set out what remedy it was plan-ning to take, says Mamkeli.

“The area was backfilled and will becapped with cleaned soil during the courseof Friday (last week) to further mitigate theodour nuisance. City health will continue tomonitor the situation to ensure that the odor-ous emissions have abated, failing which acompliance notice will be served,” he says.

Many gifted blindin SA, women hearTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Labels belong on cans, not on humans.”These were the words of Lizelle van

Wyk, CEO of the Cape Town Society for theBlind (CTSB) in Salt River, while address-ing women at a Women’s Month event at theSociety’s premises.

Van Wyk said blind people shouldn’t bedefined by their disability because theyhave more to offer.

Though the month to celebrate womenhas come and gone, CTSB has so much workto do. They are aiming to generate R20mover the next two years to help visually im-paired people to do different things, VanWyk said.

Part of the CTSB’s vision is to empowerthe more than one million visually im-paired people in South Africa to become rec-ognised, tax-paying, high-performingachievers and unlock their employment op-portunities. They believe that the moneywould open doors for the many gifted visu-ally impaired people in the country.

Helen Zille, premier of the Western Cape,and Natalie Maimane, wife of national DAleader Mmusi Maimane, were amongst the260 guests who attended the event. JennyMorris, a celebrity chef and radio personali-

ty was the master of ceremonies.Van Wyk said: “The organisation is con-

stantly confronted with social issues likestigmatisation and stereotypes that chal-lenge their efforts to seek employment op-portunities for blind people. Labels belongon cans, not on humans. We must be thechange agents that inspire transformation.CTSB will have to work harder and smarterin order to ensure sustainable income.”

Zille said: “Parents who display unusualcourage and fortitude in the face of setbacksand who rise above challenges to raise chil-dren with disabilities are indispensable tosociety.”

Zille said parents who rose above theenormous difficulties to overcome sufferingwere an important ingredient in buildingcommunity.

Maimane applauded the CTSB’s work.“Organisations like this give blind people

their own voice and generate a platform forthe visually impaired to put their issues onthe table.

“All South Africans can be a Van Wyk orZille in their community by displaying aheart and a passion for something thatticked them off, and then turn that into acause. As soon as you lift up women, youlift up society because they are the back-bone of society,” she said.

Celebrity chef Jenny Morris, singer Aviva Pelham, provincial premier Helen Zille, NatalieMaimane, wife of national DA leader Mmusi Maimane, and Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of the CapeTown Society for the Blind, were at a Women’s Month event held by the Society.

Women are invited to join fellow parents atweekly Moms Circle groups in Gardens andPlumstead.

The sessions are informal and relaxing formothers-to-be and mothers and their babies(up to one year old).

Each week a speaker will address parentson a variety of topics pertaining to motherand baby wellness.

The groups meet every Tuesday from 10:30to 12:30 in the maternity lounge at MediclinicCape, Gardens and Thursdays from 10:30 to12:30 in the auditorium or boardroom ofMediclinic Constantiaberg, Plumstead.

Moms and babes, come talk and play

The South African College of Applied Psy-chology (SACAP) is hosting its annual psy-chology festival of learning to discussthings that really matter and affect peoplein their daily lives.

The conference will take place at itsClaremont campus from Thursday to Satur-day.

This year’s theme is “engaging forchange”. The programme is packed with ac-tivities and many different topics for dis-cussion.

With nearly 80 guest speakers the festivaloffers a wide range of talks and workshops.Talk topics include “The art of leadership”by Paddy Upton, “Empathy, a cause for con-cern or distress” by Kathrin Train, “Thedriving force behind our financial deci-sions” by Brian Shargey, “The doctor whowalked away” by Maria Phalime, “You arenot alone” by Tamsyn Brown, “Bullying inSouth African schools” by Gail Dore and“Making better decisions during times ofchange” by Robert Farndell.

Inspired by the idea of bringing togetherprofessionals, students and the broadercommunity to explore the many facets ofpsychology, counselling and coaching, thefestival aims to enable every participant totake one step further on their journey of un-derstanding the nature and practice of psy-

chology, counselling and coaching at an in-dividual and community level.

SACAP is a leading independent providerof education in applied psychology and of-fers students a range of accredited postgrad-uate, degree, diploma and certificate pro-grammes in Psychology, Counselling andCoaching.

The film festival includes the South Afri-can documentaries Normal and Africashafted as well as the international docu-mentariesFree themind andHappy themov-ie.

Each evening will include eight shorttalks that include topics such as “The Lente-geur spring: Recovery and hope in a psychi-atric institution”, “Social entrepreneur-ship in higher education”, “Unmasking co-dependency” and “The enemies of success”.V Tickets for the festival and the programme areavailable on www.psychologyfestivaloflearning.co.za.

OBSERVATORY

Notorious drug den closedTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Anotorious drug den in Observa-tory, Mezani Lounge, has been

closed following a temporary sus-pension of the owner’s liquor trad-ing licence last week.

The suspension of the Lounge’slicence follows several raids byWoodstock police at the premiseson the corner of Main and Bowdenroads. The liquor authority pre-sented its information gatheredabout the club to the liquor licens-ing tribunal, leading to the suspen-sion.

The Lounge has been rocked byscandals. Drugs were found on thepremises in several raids. Drugdealers have allegedly sold drugsat the premises in broad daylight.There are also allegations that arape has happened on the premis-es, which led to several communityleaders writing letters saying theyare sick and tired of Mezani andthey want it gone. If they are al-lowed to continue trading, the com-munity would be reduced to noth-ing as drug dealers have a spot tosell their drugs, they say.

After compelling evidence wasput forward to the Western Cape li-quor authority the tribunal filedfor an urgent call to close the doorsof the Lounge.

Now Daniel Lossy, the owner ofMezani Lounge, has to wait for hishearing on a date still to be set.

While this might be good newsfor the Observatory community,

community leaders say a lot stillneeds to be done. They say this isnot a victory for Observatory buta victory for the liquor authority,which is starting to show its work.Community members believe it’snot a good thing that only eight li-quor licences have be revoked in aprovince where there is more than23 000 liquor outlets.

Councillor Paddy Chapple saysmonths of hard work has finallypaid off.

“It’s a step in the right direction.The suspension means he can’tcontinue trading in alcohol and ifhe does so he will be breaking thelaw. We are looking forward to thefinal hearing,” he says.

Barrie Terblance, chairperson ofthe Community Police Forum sub-forum, says the victory for the Ob-servatory community is not somuch against the club as it is overthe dysfunction, inactiveness andimbalance of the Liquor Act and

the liquor tribunal.“[The closing of] Mezani is a vic-

tory for improving the system,which is not working properly.There are a lot of murders, assaultsand domestic violence and onlyeight licences had been suspended.This shows something is desper-ately wrong. Leaders in the com-munity had to write letters to ques-tion why Mezani is still operatingwhen evidence was brought for-ward of the damage it’s doing to the

society. We were told it wasn’t apriority but we kept pushing untilsomething was done. We are gladthat it has worked and there is stillmore than can be done,” he says.

“Observatory is a small placeand having about 60 liquor outletsis really drowning us. A lot has tobe done; the community can’t takeit anymore.

“As much as the liquor authorityis good in handing out licences itmust be twice as good in suspend-ing them if the licence holders arebeing problematic. However, theyseem to be reluctant or very slowwhen it comes to suspending licen-ces. As the community we are de-termined to close those outletsdown if they are destroying thecommunity. The society can’t takeit anymore; we are really fallingapart as a community,” says Ter-blanche.

Zaza Kumalo from the liquor au-thority confirms that MezaniLounge’s liquor licence was tempo-rarily suspended during a hearingof the liquor licensing tribunal.

“The licence was suspendedpending the outcome of an applica-tion by the licensee to remove thelicence to another premise. The de-cision was based on an urgent ap-plication by the liquor authority totemporarily suspend the licence,”says Kumalo.

Since the Lounge’s closure thereare unconfirmed rumours that theowner of the building will be turn-ing the place into student accom-modation.

Mezani Lounge on the corner of Main and Bowden roads has been closed after its liquor licence was temporarilysuspended.

Pupils give backto communityTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Micklefield Primary School in Ronde-bosch has celebrated its 87th anniver-

sary. The school is still going strong.The staff’s goal is tomake sure that their

pupils become better citizens of tomor-row.

It has become a tradition at Micklefieldto mark the school’s anniversary by giv-ing back to the broader community. Thisyear again, the schoolwas a flurry of activ-ity and outings. Every girl in the schoolcelebrated 87 years of Micklefield life in avariety of ways last week.

Jeannette Welgemoed, the school’sheadmistress, says caring and respondingto the changing needs of the communityin which they live are integral parts ofMicklefield’s ethos.

“It is about inspiring our girls to becomeawareof theneedsof others. It’swonderfulto celebrate our school. Classes had to stopaswedo something special for the commu-nity. This was to show to our pupils thatcaring for others is very important,” shesays.

Many eventsThe pre-primary and Grade 1 pupils

sang for the residents at Riverside Manorretirement centre and Avondrust old agehome. The Grade 2 pupils chopped vegeta-bles and made soup packets for the Havennight shelter.

The Grade 3 pupils knitted squares for

charity, decorated cupcakes for the policeand created cards for their friends atVistaNova School. The Grade 4 pupils lent ahand at South African Riding for the Disa-bled and the Grade 5 pupils shared theirfavourite books and made paper bag pup-pets with the Grade 1 pupils of RosmeadPrimary School.

A thanksgiving tea was hosted by theGrade 6s for the charities involved in theirentrepreneurship programme. The Grade7 pupils played music and shared storieswith the residents at the South AfricanWomen’s Auxiliary in Pinelands.

Feels good to helpGrade 7 pupils said they took a lot out

of the events of the day. While it was a dayon which they wanted to do something forothers in the community, they gained somuch more. The events of the day madethem realise that being elderly doesn’tstop one from doing what you love and be-ing happy. They also realised that it madethem feel good to do something for othersand to make others feel happy.

Welgemoed says from here forwardtheir focus is to make sure that the girlsare prepared for the future.

“Though academics are still our priori-ty we want to make sure that they are bet-ter prepared.

“This ismore about impacting life skillsand to have them playmeaningful roles insociety. We are going to grow and developbetter people who care about their com-munities and its citizens,” she says.

Schools nip ‘Charlie’game in the budEARL HAUPT

@Earl Haupt

Schools across the city havebeenmobilised to stop the latestoccult craze while it is mush-rooming across the country.The “Charlie Charlie” game

has had many parents wonder-ing what can be done to preventtheir children from being ex-posed to its nature, while othershave continued to view it asharmless fun conjuredupby thevibrant minds of the youth.Ahost of local schoolshave re-

ported instances where chil-dren have been found to be play-ing the game, with some teach-ers going on to say that theyhave brought an end to the ac-tivity before losing control ofthe situation.“We have nipped it in the

bud,” says an unnamed sourceat one of the schools.The game was originally

played by Spanish-speakinggirls as a way to “enquire”which boy may like them, butthe game has re-incarnated it-self this year in the form of the“Charlie Charlie challenge”.The paper and pencil game hassince evolved into a more tabooactivity with participants of thegame asking a “demon” namedCharlie to answer their ques-tions instead.The Western Cape education

department haswarned that thepublic should be careful when

dealing with incidents of theCharlie Charlie type.“Children should be encour-

aged to discuss any ‘uncomfort-able’ feelings about the incidentwith their teachers. Actual in-stances of bullying or coercioncould certainly have negativeeffects on the child, but earlyidentification and effective in-tervention can ameliorate theinitial effects.”The department also states

that provisions have been madein the curriculum to teach chil-dren tomakemore informed de-cisions.Manenberg police spokesper-

son Lieutenant Ian Bennettmaintains that while schools inthe area have reported instan-ces of the game being played, itpoints to a bigger problemwith-in communities.“Young people go in search of

something new and exciting be-cause they become bored withthe day-to-day things in life,”says Bennett.Warren Rossiter, principal of

Hazendal Primary School, isaware that regardless of the ac-tivity the children get involvedin, the school is constantly cre-ating awareness among pupilsregarding the consequences offollowing mass hysteria. He ur-ges parents to encourage theirchildren to participate in posi-tive activities and to involvethemselves more in their chil-dren’s lives.

“It’s only words, and words are all I have, to take yourheart away.” The Bee Gees may have written these im-mortal lines, but as we celebrate World Literacy Day thepower of words goes way beyond taking a heart away.For many it took our hearts to places and spaces we

would never ever dreamt of experiencing.For this young lad from the then dusty streets of Diep

River, learning to readwas one ofmy first joys into a jour-ney of discovery, and probably the first steps tomy careeras a journalist.Arthur Ransome’s words of adventure about a group

of youngsters enjoying country life and sailing took mymind to anotherworld that seemed foreign, but yet so realto fully understand the true meanings of family valuesand friendship.Eventually my appetite extended to the classic Greek

tales of mythology which was probably motivated by thelocal Carlton bioscope regularly treating us to those CecilBDeMille versions ofAchilles andHercules, butwhateverthe inspiration – the bug had bitten – and still bites withmy mind still craving the adventures that words take meon. Another joy of reading that increased the passionwasreading LP covers, discovering the inside stories of someof the legendary recordings of the likes of John Coltraneand Miles Davis that fuelled my love for music.Without reading the many stories of others we cannot

find ourselves, whichmakes the celebration ofWorld Lit-eracy Day that much more important in these timeswhere the electronic media takes over too many youngminds.The calming effect of turning the first page of a new

book, the excitement when you have to keep reading andthe joy, sometimes sadness at the end, is what it’s allabout.Sorry Bee Gees but words are much more than just

words – it’s your gateway to enlightenment.

LOUISA STEYL@lousteyl

He came, he taught, he left.By day he’s the sports pre-

senter on Good Hope FM’s break-fast show, but when he leaves thestudio, Dalin Olivier lives histrue passion.

The Retreat teacher-turned-comedian will bringhis hit one-man show, Icame, I taught, I left, direct-ed by Stuart Taylor, to hishome town after two suc-cessful runs at the NationalArts Festival in Grahamstown.

Before the comedy bug bit, Dalinwas all set to follow a career as ateacher.

It was in his third year at UCTthat Dalin discovered comedy.Boredwhile studying for his finals,he started writing funny thoughtsdown. After positive reaction fromhis friends, he started “googling”comedy hotspots and got his firstgig in November 2010.

“From my first gig I knew: Thisfeels good. That space felt right, Ifelt like I belonged.”

Coming outAt the beginning of his fifth year,

he sat his parents down and letthemknowthatwhile itwas impor-tant to him to finish his studies, hedidn’t intend to actually teach.

“They supported me throughand through.”

He decided to do his teachingpracticals at his old schools, Wyn-berg Boys and South PeninsulaHigh School. After graduating, healso did a six-week stint as a tempo-rary teacher at Wynberg Boys,which he says was necessary toprove to himself that he wasn’t ac-tually ready for teaching.

“Knowing that I wasn’t going toteach, I thought thiswouldbeahub

of content, material-wise.”Dalin describes his style as fami-

ly-friendly and observational withpersonal reflections.

His comedy career has beengrowing steadily. He has touredwith and opened for comedianslike Riaad Moosa, Stuart Taylorand Barry Hilton and also featuredon Comedy Central alongside NikRabinowitz and Kurt Schoonraad.

In 2013 he performed at the Gra-hamstown festival with the CapeTown Comedy Club.

“I said: ‘Next year I’m coming onmy own.’”

Dalin started writing his one-man show in September that year.

“I had no idea what the show wasgoing to be about.”

He put all his ideas on a mindmap before approaching Stuart

Taylor, who’d given him his firsttheatre show, for guidance.

“I trusted him and I respect hisstyle of comedy.”I came, I taught, I left changed

completely when Stuart asked Dal-in to describe the gist of what hewanted to say. The sentence hecame up with was: “Teacher byday, comedian by night… try ex-plaining that to parents.”

In the show, Dalin maps outhis school-related career, com-paring a model C, dual sexschool with an all-boys school,looking at student life and thenteaching alongside his ownteachers. He also discussescricket, which has always beena big part of his life, specificallycoaching children.

Dream come trueDalin says performing in differ-

ent environments has helped theshow grow and mature.

“I think I’m bringing a well-structured, compact product to theBaxter.”

Presenting a show at the Baxteris a dream come true for Dalin whotold his father when he started per-forming that he wanted to producehis own show there.

“The Baxter is a sacred space.”Dalin points to the history of the

Baxter and says being afforded theopportunity to be on its stage is ahumbling experience.I came, I taught, I left will be on

stage at the Baxter Golden ArrowStudio from Monday 21 to Sunday26 September. Tickets, which areavailable at Computicket, cost R60for the Monday night and R100 forthe rest of week, with student, sen-ior and block booking discountsavailable.V For more information about Dalin or toget a taste of his comedy visit www.dalino-livier.com.

Dalin Oliver jokes about cricket andhis journey from teaching to comedyin his one­man show at the Baxterthis month.

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

The Western Cape ministry of culturalaffairs and sport celebrated local ath-letes at a special ceremony in Cape

Town last week.Provincial minister Anroux Marais hon-

oured participants in cycling, soccer, judo,kickboxing, netball, sailing, wrestling andtable tennis.One of those recognised was Athlone’s

Marion February, coach of the all-conquer-ingWesternCape u.19women’s soccer team,which won the national title for the secondconsecutive year.February said at the ceremony that al-

thoughwomen’s soccer is developing, it willstill be a while before the structures and lev-el of professionalism in the sport reachesthat of their male counterparts.“Forwomen toplayprofessionally, it is go-

ing to take more sponsorship, more hardwork in the setup at a national level, to getus up there. The sport is developing; theplayers are getting on par with equalstrength when competing against each oth-er, but the problem is that there is no fund-ing for a professional-level quality league.”February, however, still holds develop-

ment very close to her heart, particularly inAthlone.“I would like to see that maybe women’s

soccer academies start within Athlone andI am hoping to get the community girls com-ing in so that we can start from there andbuild them from a young age. The problemthatwehave is thatwe don’t haveu.9s, u.10s,u.11s in women’s soccer. We only start from13 and up.”Shamiel Salie (20) from Grassy Park was

also acknowledged at the ceremony for hisachievements in cycling. He has set hissights on competing in the Olympic Gamesin Rio de Janeiro next year after finishingin 18th place in this year’s Cape Town CycleTour.“My uncles used to cycle. We as a family

went toKalkBay to support them every yearand I told my dad that this is what I wantto do and my goal was to beat their times,because in the Argus it’s all about the sub-three-hour mark. Eventually I finished therace under three hours and that is where Ifound my passion.”

Earlier this year,People’s Post reported onShane Overmeyer’s monumental achieve-ment in being crowned the country’s best ta-ble tennis player for the eighth time in hiscareer. He too was honoured last week.Overmeyer (36) is originally from Steen-

berg, but now lives in Beacon Valley.He says he felt the magnitude of the occa-

sion. “When I saw that the invitation camefrom the minister, I felt honoured. It is notevery day that you get an invite bearing theminister’s name on it; for me it felt special,”he said.

Minors shineHe says the department has done its part

in identifying and acknowledging talent inminor sports across the province. He con-firmed plans to have the cream of the West-ern Cape’s table tennis and badminton play-ers travel to China to further develop theirtalents, which will hopefully be aligned tohis future plans.“I do live in Mitchell’s Plain, but play for

Bishop Lavis table tennis club.My intentionis to open up my own club in Mitchell’sPlain. People always askwhydon’t I join oneof the current clubs already there, but whyshould I join the one clubwhen I can get newplayers and youngsters from the other sideof Mitchell’s Plain?”At the ceremonyMarais stressed thevalue

of excellence and reiterated her pride at see-ing the sports people realise the fruits oftheir hard work and perseverance.“The athletes officially honoured have

done us proud. They have held the WesternCape’s name high at national and interna-tional sporting events. Your perseveranceand focus have groomed you into significantrole models the youth can look up to.”

Local sport heroes celebrated

The provincial department of cultural affairs and sport recently honoured local sporting heroes.Here, Western Cape women’s u.19 soccer coach Marion February is congratulated by provincialminister Anroux Marais.

Upsets aplenty in Coca­Cola Cup on SundayJOSEPH PILLAY

The ever-popular Coca-Cola Cupdid not only bring droves of specta-tors from all parts of the Cape Pen-insula to the William Herbertsports complex onSunday, but alsodelivered its fair share of upsets inthe round of 16.Four former champions, Silver

Spurs, Rygersdal,Woodlands Unit-ed and Central, all made an exitfrom the lucrative and prestigiousknockout competition.To add to the thrills and spills,

MilanoUnited (reigning championand with Desmond Crowie as itsmentor) survived a stiff challengefromValhalla United to eventuallyend with a 2-0 victory after the Val-halla side was reduced to ten play-ers in the 73rd minute after Dam-ien Stoffels was sent off.A two-goal tonic by ShafiekNazi-

er, who scored a brace in the 56thand 75th minute, was enough tokeep hope alive in the competition,although the u.18 side was bundledout after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Is-land Rovers.Milano United will now meet

Masidlale from Nyanga in thequarter finals at the Lingalethusports complex on 20 September.Last year’s champion, Silver

Spurs, was eliminated from thecompetition after falling prey toMasidlale, losing 4-3 on penaltiesafter thematch ended 1-1 in regula-tion time.Meanwhile, Young Idols of Ma-

nenberg set the scene alight withtwo first-half goals by ShannonHendricks to beat Junction Rovers2-1 in a topsy turvy showdown.TheYoung Idols side, coached by

Paul “Gaza” Johnson, will faceLanga Wanderers, who beat the2011 champions Central by 2-0.The match could be handed to

Central AFC after its managementlodged a dispute with refereeWayne Cupido on the grounds thatWanderers allegedly fielded two in-eligible players.

Rygersdal’s demise was met aft-er they had their wings clipped by

an inspired Grassy Park Unitedside, spurred on by former Santos

playerTasleemPaulse. TheGrassyPark outfit edged out the 2005

champion 2-1.Tasleem Ceres was the first to

find the net shortly after the half-time interval. However, Rygersdalwould level matters later onthrough Abdul Damon. But it wasnot to be asGrassy Park’sWassiemGeorge secured the winning goalin the dying embers of the match.In some of the day’s othermatch-

es, Morgenster United destroyedWoodlands United 5-0 in a Mitch-ell’s Plain derby with KeeganTromp (2), Taswill Davids (2) andAshwin Lotter sharing in the goalfeast.Morgenster United and Grassy

Park United will cross swords inthe quarter final while Strandfon-tein, who beat Juventus from Phil-ippi 3-2, will square off againstTurfhall (who beat Spice for Life2-0) in the remaining quarter final.

Newlands Cricket High School travelled toDelhi, India with the hope of finding a part-ner school to facilitate an exchange studentprogramme as well as have reciprocal annu-al tours.The initiative was a brainchild of Proteas

batsman JP Duminy, who is also captain ofthe Delhi Daredevils, the city’s IPL fran-chise.Shaheed Shaik, director at the school, and

Hermant Dua, Delhi Daredevils CEO,met inDelhi and struck an agreement with Delhi’scricket academy.Shaik says theyare alreadyplanning their

first tour to Delhi for September next yearand would like to tour with four teams.“Delhi is a fantastic place to tour and will

provide an excellent incentive for our boysto perform and grow,” he says.“Delhi also has a rich culture and history

and we will ensure that our boys go on anumber of excursions to the Taj Mahal and

the Mahatma Ghandi Memorial, amongstothers. Most of our boys come from a disad-vantaged background and have hardly trav-elled in their own country.”The school was established earlier this

year and is based at Sahara Park Newlands.It has attracted mainly disadvantaged boysin the hope of filling the gap that exists incricket development in former disadvan-taged communities. The school enjoys thesupport of Nabeal Dien, CEO of the Cape Co-bras, and Beresford Williams, president ofWestern Province Cricket Association.Duminy is also a supporter of the school

and its mission to develop less fortunateplayers. His academy in Delhi will be send-ing two boys to the school next year.The school is currently interviewing fu-

ture pupils. If you are an above averagecricketer, call the school on 021 671 4080 orvisit www.newlandscricket.co.za. There arestill a few bursaries available.
