The Garden Village Green Light Commu- nity Project is one of the projects run in con- junction with The Cape Town Project Centre that brings students and faculty from Worc- ester Polytechnic Institute, located in Mas- sachusetts, USA, together with Cape Town partners to conduct projects that advance mutual learning and sustainable communi- ty development in informal settlements and other disadvantaged communities.

While the change in the community is no- ticeable, she feels there is still a lot of work to be done. “Our biggest needs are a perma- nent venue to work from as an office to assist with meetings, a soup kitchen, mobile clinic and storage place for all equipment and more. We also welcome financial assistance to buy more supplies for our gardening project or ingredients for our soup kitchen that feeds up to 170 people.” Trout also says there are plans to collabo- rate with surrounding suburbs with some of their future projects.

Catch all the local newsANDRÉ BAKKES
@andrebakkes
What if People’s Post wasn’t anewspaper, but a broadcastingagency?What if you weren’t bound to
listen to hyper-local news im-pacting on the suburb you livein, but rather the southern sub-urbs as a whole?Would this contradict what
People’s Post stands for?Followers of the newspaper
on Facebook would have no-ticed a new feature – a weeklywrap-up video – posted everyTuesday.In this short video some of
the articles that appear in thenewspaper are highlighted,giving you the biggest weeklynews from the southern sub-urbs in bite-sized chunks. Some broadcast-ers bring you global news, some focus ona particular city, but no-one targets a rela-tively small area such as the southern sub-urbs.This means, of course, that the newspa-
per continues to set the bar of hyper-localcontent across all mediums.The same concept has been embraced by
TygerBurger,People’s Post’s sister publica-tion in the northern suburbs.One of TygerBurger’s journalists, Bren-
den Ruiter, asked himself how one couldspread the news in a digital world, andmake it as easy as possible for Facebookusers to stay up to date.“The answer was simple. Why not a
weekly news bulletin? We started a fewweeks ago and the video’s popularity is forall to see. It’s still a work in progress, ofcourse, with finer details still being ironedout.”A couple of minutes a week to stay up to
date with news headlines? The viewer’sconvenience is clearly the watch word.
Another imminent adoption will be therolling text at the bottom, which will meanone canwatch thevideowithno sound if nec-essary.In essence it is a news broadcast with a
very brief description of the chosen articles.If one snippet piques your interest then youcan read more about it on the newspaper’sfree website under the News24 domain.People’s Post journalist and bulletin pre-
senter Samantha Lee says the additionalchallenge has been an exciting venture thusfar.“It is no secret that news and the media
aremoving into a digital space. This venturehelps us satisfy the news needs of those onthe move and assists our journalists in tell-ing the inspiring stories of others that maynot have made it into the readers’ relevanteditions. The response thus far is an indica-tion that this truly is a step in the right direc-tion for our publications.”Find People’s Post on Facebook and look
out for “ThisWeek in ...” on a Tuesday after-noon at 17:00.
Samantha Lee presents “This Week in ...”, which can befound weekly on People’s Post’s Facebook page.

New ECD centres bring smilesCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Hundreds of children are set fora solid foundation and bright
future after three Early ChildhoodDevelopment (ECD) centresopened in Philippi on Wednesday8 June.Valued at R12m, the investment
injection is definitely needed forthese ECDs.Celebratedwithmuch fanfare on
the day by investors, sponsors andbeneficiaries set the tonefor learning in vibrant environ-
ments.The three centres – Khululeka
Educare, Zamukhanyo Educare
and Noncedo Educare – have un-dergone a comprehensive upgradefrom the Rotary Club of Clare-mont, in partnership with the Le-wis Group.Rotary Club of Claremont presi-
dent, Tom Bergmann-Harris, saysthe handover was “more than justa celebration of some new build-ings”.“This is about creating a positive
environment which ensures chil-dren receive the best possible edu-cational stimulation from an earlyage, giving them a real hope for ex-celling in the future. By equippingteachers with the skills they needwe can ensure these educare cen-tres are sustainable in the long
term,” Bergmann-Harris says.The Rotary Club of Claremont’s
Injongo Educare Project hasworkedwith 47 Educare Centres inPhilippi since 2012 with a totalspend of R12m to date.Holistic interventions include
extensive teacher training, physi-cal upgrades to existing facilitiesand daily mentoring assistance foreducare centres to ensure that theymeet the Department of Social De-velopment (DSD) and the WesternCape Education Department’s(WCED) requirements for officialECD accreditation and registra-tion.While keeping school fees afford-
able, these interventions makecentres sustainable, and effectivein the long term, through subsidiesprovided by the DSD and WCED.Since 2012, a dozen educare cen-
tres have been fully upgraded andreopened by Injongo together withits dedicated sponsors.Learners at the three centres
sang songs to celebrate their ex-citement about their new schoolpremises.Principal of Zamukhanyo Edu-
care, SindiswaThebeka, has prom-ised parents and the sponsors ofthe newly renovated centres thatthey would look after it.Neil Jansen, Lewis Group HR di-
rector, has told residents, parentsand Rotarians that it was an hon-our for Lewis to be involved in theproject.“For more than four years, we
have focused on making a lastingimpact in the next generationthrough our partnership with In-
jongo. Foundation phase educa-tion lays the grounding for chil-dren’s cognitive and socio-emo-tional development. These ECDsprepare them for school and terti-ary education. The results of thisproject already speak volumes andit is encouraging to receive somuch support from the communi-ty,” Jansen said.Simphiwe Smile, 36-year-old fa-
ther of Kamva – who attends theGrade R class for five year olds atKhululeka Educare was full ofsmiles at the opening event.“My daughter knows how to
count, she canwrite her own nameand she is confident to stand infront of her class and tell stories.Hermind is reallyworking and sheis so clever. I’m really proud to seehow much she has developed at
Khululeka Educare,” he says.Smile, who takes an active role
in his daughter’s life, says he lis-tens to her talk happily about whatshe has learnt at school as he takesher to school every morning.Principal at Khululeka Educare,
Nombulelo Majezi, says “all of thelocal primary schools want Khulu-leka Children to enrol in Grade 1”.“Even schools outside of Philip-
pi, they say that children fromKhululeka are amazing. You canjust call the principals to ask andthey can tell you about our chil-dren,” Majezi saysMajezi explains that while many
people have opened day care cen-tres to look after toddlers whiletheir parents work, not all of theseplaces offer the same developmen-tal opportunities.

New centre forfurry friendsCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA (CoGHSPCA) launched their newly construct-
ed state-of-the-art facility on Thursday lastweek.Patrons, animal guardians and sponsors
were given a preview of the new facility, theconcept of which was introduced duringlast year.Excited furry friends greeted visitors and
animal lovers on Thursday as they wel-comed them to their comfortable newcondi-tions.The premises in Grassy Park now hosts
the largest adoption kennel of its kind inSouth Africa – with bells and whistles.Longstandinganimal guardianGayleSly-
per sharedherpersonal experiencewith theSPCA.“I am very excited about this shelter. I en-
courage people to become involved by do-nating to our animal shelters. Our four-leg-ged friends need the help,” she says.CoGH SPCA CEO Allan Perrins says:
“With ever more animals requiring a safehaven from abuse and abandonment, theCoGH SPCA forged ahead with the con-structionmid-2015. Thedecision to invest ina redevelopment was seen as a vital movein securing the future sustainability of theorganisation as a whole.”He says the older buildings were over 20
years old and as such various structuralproblems were beginning to negatively af-fect the “overall efficacy of the facility andin order to best serve the animals an over-haul was necessary”.Build-A-WayBuildersworked in conjunc-
tion with Rennie Scurr Adendorff Archi-
tects to bring the vision of a 21st centurykennel into reality.Adendorff says the facility integrates
modern, state-of-the-art animal care habi-tats and support systems with a design thatmirrors the desired operational flow of peo-ple and animals into and out of the facility.The facility hosts quarantine, pre-adop-
tion and adoption pods which can accom-modate 300 individual animals.Before, due to space constraints, the
CoGH SPCA hosted up to three small dogsin one kennel.“We are able to reduce the risk of kennel
stress by giving each animal in our care aspace to call their own while still encourag-ing a degree of controlled socialisation. Thedogs and cats will now also be enjoying un-derfloor heating and improved biosecuritywhich will help us control the spread ofdeadly diseases,” says Belinda Abraham, astaffer at the SPCA.The furry friends also have dog beds
which are raised above floor level so thatthey do not sleep on the cold cement.Possible adoption families will also be
given the opportunity to go through anadoption process where they are taken pri-vately into an adoption room, where an as-sessment is done, to ensure that familiesadopt a pet that is best suited for theirhome.Possible fur parents also have the option
to familiarise themselves with a candidatepet in a viewing room instead of visiting thekennels, which could become overwhelm-ing.Each dog is also provided with a comfort-
able and hygienic dog beds thanks to Coola-roo Pet Beds.V To enquire about adoptions please call Kim on021 700 4152 or email [email protected]

Finding freedombehind barsTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
“True freedom is an inside job.”This is what SevaUnite in Clare-
mont believes. They have been teachingprisoners yoga for the past six years.
SevaUnite’s Prison Freedom Projectteaches yoga and mindfulness in prisons toalleviate suffering and reduce crime.
“The affirming, healing and rehabilita-tive benefits of yoga, related breathing andrelaxation practices for people living instressful environments are profound. Yogacan bring people to a state of oneness, unity,acceptance and love, with ourselves and forall those around us,” says Leela Codron, Se-vaUnite co-founder.
The non-profit organisation practices yo-ga with prisoners at Pollsmoor Prison inTokai everyday for an hour.
A class has an average of 15 to 35 people.“We’re interested in the power that yoga
has, to help an individual transform fromthe inside. Overwhelmingly, prisons arenot rehabilitation centers but places of vio-lence, shame and punishment. And since 60– 90% of inmates commit crimes withinthree months of release, we wanted to tryand create a different world where upon re-lease, ex-cons become contributing mem-bers of society,” says Codron.
Codron says in a country where peopleare completely overpowered and bombard-ed by violence and crime, they felt that do-ing this work is so critical in trying to makea difference to the future of South Africa.
“Not everyone incarcerated deserves tobe forgotten about. There is an extremely
large prisoner population that is creative,purposeful, kind and useful to society – theyjust need assistance in being able to tap intotheir inherent selves, to re-assess what theythink they are about, what they think theyknow. True freedom lies within, and we areinterested in helping other fellow humanbeing really unlock their potential.”
SevaUnite hopes to change inmates oneprisoner at a time.
“We teach one yoga class. An inmate isinspired. He receives the free manual,starts to teach himself and then to teach oth-ers through our free correspondencecourse. One inmate can inspire hundreds!It’s simple. We provide inmates with thetools of yoga and mindfulness practices –through classes, correspondence coursesand mentorship. With regular practice,they develop self-awareness, forgivenessand personal responsibility. This experi-ence is so profoundly transformative, thatthey are inspired to share these practiceswith their fellow prisoners,” says Codron.
SevaUnite, together with their volun-teers, identifies ways for you to selflesslyserve, to experience the uplifting effects ofdoing good things for others.
“We see service as a path to self-discoveryand personal growth, selfless service whichis performed without any thought of rewardor personal benefit.”
Currently they have over 250 people en-rolled on their free six month correspond-ence course. “Those who are really interest-ed can then sign up for our free teacherstraining course, where they learn to becomeyoga teachers by teaching three to five fel-low inmates.”

Emile YX? goes internationalLOUISA STEYL
@LouSteyl
He’s a community activist, an ed-ucator, a father, a husband and
a hip-hop artist.Emile YX? – or Emile Jansen as
his family know him – is nostranger to Cape Town and SouthAfrican hip-hop fans. In fact, theBlack Noise founding member hasbeen instrumental in growing thelocal hip-hop scene.But his many achievements will
be introduced to an internationalaudience later this year whenBreak like You, a documentaryabout his work, will be screened atthe inaugural New York Hip-HopFilm Festival.“The documentary producers in-
terviewed various people andheard about my story from somepeople and they just approachedme about telling my story,” Emileexplains of the short film shot byMehreen Afzal and Melissa House,as part of the Barefoot Workshops,last year.“It’s a very honest story about
being a community activist, father,husband, artist, educator througharts and culture and how healingcan happen through giving of one-self.”The film comes off the back of a
busyperiod forEmilewho recentlywon the SABC 3 breakfast showEs-presso’s Mandela Monday Awardalong with a LeadSA Hero Awardin April.He’s also just sent five dancers to
compete at Battle VNR in Franceand has just wrapped up PositivePoster Week, a campaign run
through his Heal the Hood project.Emile started Heal the Hood as
a community organisation in 1998with the aim to “change minds tochange action”. The non-profit or-ganisation has since grown fromstrength to strength, raising mon-ey to help send 194 performers tointernational competitions overthe years.The organisation’s focus this
year is on eight schools and twocommunity centres on the CapeFlats where they inspire youngpeople to become “artistically ac-tive” through songs, music videosand books.“We are also focussing our ener-
gies on changing the negative dia-logue that dominates the CapeFlats youth to a positive one of out-comes and action.”Emile’s own artistic journey
started with breakdancing, beforehewent on to try his hand at graffi-ti, beatboxing and rapping – all ele-ments of hip-hop culture. Dancingis what first attracted him to theculture and he says it challengedhis fear of people seeing him “inthe middle of a circle”.“Without me knowing it, it was
about me finding me and showingmyself to the world.”As a man of few words, when
Emile found himself writing, hesays he knew he had to do some-thing about it. This is a philosophythat he’s carried throughouthis ca-reer and why he now calls himselfa “reactionary activist”.“We did not have a space, so we
took action and danced on thestreets,” he says. “We took actionto teach each other, ourselves, and
that’s activism.”When Emile and his crew found
themselves with no events to per-form at, they created their own, be-fore creating competitions andthen touring; first nationally andthen internationally. With no“how-to” guide, they printed theirown CDs, DVDs and books and cre-ated their own production to beable tomakea living from their art.It was the beginning of what
would become a vibrant South Af-rican hip-hop culture. “We areproud to say that we played a rolein making that dream a reality formany people today. My main rea-son was always about my creativedesire tomakenew things. Toman-ifest the word and show youth that
with determination and persever-ance anything is possible.”Emile’s contributions tohis com-
munity have been highlightedmost recently throughhisMandelaMonday Hero award and LeadSAaward, but last year he was alsochosen as the face of the MoshitoMusic Conference where he wasawarded for his contribution tohip-hop and the year before sawhim winning an Honorary Awardat the South African Hip-HopAwards.His work is about more than
awards through. “As a citizen, it ismy duty to take action on civic is-sues. It is the very foundation ofour responsibility we have to-wards each other and then collec-
tively as a nation to manifest realdemocracy with informed deci-sions.”For Emile, this also means lead-
ing by example and “not just talk-ing about change, but takingactionto make it real.”The action-taker will soon be
heading to America to see his sonand wife who are with her familyin Ohio, before heading to the NewYork Hip-Hop Film Festival. He’llbe back in Cape Town in mid-Au-gust to host the Cape Flats FilmFestival before going into studio towork on his ninth solo album. Alsoon his agenda for the rest of theyear are his first DVD compilationmade up of music videos and abook about Black Noise and hip-hop inCapeTown.He’s also consid-ering a doctorate in Education andHip-Hop Pedagogy at an interna-tional university.Emile will participate in a Q&A
session after the screening ofBreak likeYouandwill beusing theopportunity to invite internationalfilm makers to participate in Healthe Hood projects and the CapeFlats Hip-Hop Film Festival sched-uled for December.He’s also assistingBreak likeYou

Developingyoung leadersThe founder of a Rondebosch based or-ganisation empowering future leaders
in Southern Africa is in line for a majorbusiness award.SusannahFarr, the founder andCEOof
the GOLD Peer Education DevelopmentAgency,hasbeennominatedas a finalist in the Social En-trepreneur category of theCape Regional BusinessAchiever Awards, run bythe BusinessWomen’s Asso-ciation (BWA) of South Afri-ca.The agency works with
youth, giving them a life-time toolkit of skills, leader-ship development and a con-nection to future opportuni-ties to inspire changewithintheir schools and communi-ties.“The vision of the busi-
ness I began is to see a gener-ation of youngAfrican leaders, very oftenlabelled as the ‘youth bulge crisis’ at thebottomof thepyramid, given theplatformand tools to confront and overcome thepressures and desperate circumstancesthat they face,” she says.“When given the love, opportunity and
mandate to influence their peers positive-ly, even themost negative rolemodels be-gin to have something rise up inside ofthem.”
They realise that they are valuable, ex-plains Farr.“They start to value others and fight to
be part of a movement of positive changethat is bigger than their circumstances.They make tough choices in order to
break the patterns of thepast.”Over the past decade the
agency has not onlyreached thousands of youngpeople in communities inSouthAfrica,BotswanaandZambia, but the results andoutcomes, measuredthrough an auditing proc-ess, are phenomenal.TheBWAprovides a valu-
able platform for the inspi-ration and empowerment ofwomen in business througha variety of initiatives andopportunities for personalgrowth and development.
The BWA has presented the Business-woman of the Year Award since 1980 andalso runs regional achiever awards to rec-ognise the achievements of women inbusiness.These awards actively seek to identify,

The R10m mark for the Red Cross War Me-morial Children’s Hospital is in sight.The Children’s Hospital Trust has raised
a whopping R4m for the building of the big-ger and better paediatric ICU at the facility.Nine-year-old Cadi de Jager, the Chil-
dren’s Hospital Trust’s youngest ambassa-dor, has also played a big part in reachingthis significant milestone.The former Red Cross Children’s Hospital
patient, who was first diagnosed with a be-nign brain tumour and later with a Rathke’sCleft cyst, has not only undergone brain sur-gery but has travelled around South Africato call on the public to help raise funds fora new ICU.“As a child who has first-hand experience
of spending time in the ICU, she knows justhow precious childhood is when your lifehangs in the balance,”says Louise Driver,CEO of the Children’s Hospital Trust.“Cadi has taken onher role as an ambassa-
dor with vigour and is passionate about giv-ing back to the hospital that gave her a sec-ond chance at childhood.“The R100m-plus project will see signifi-
cantly improved intensive care services de-livered to critically ill and injured childrenfromSouthAfrica and the rest of theAfricancontinent. Capacity will also be greatly in-creased, addressing the desperate need formore beds to treat some of the African conti-nent’s sickest little patients.”With the lion’s share of the funding al-
ready secured for the building of this life-saving unit, the Children’s Hospital Trust –the official fund-raiser for the hospital – ismaking an emotive appeal to the public tohelp them raise the final R6m to completethe building, with the help of little Cadi.She has appeared on many radio and tele-
vision shows promoting the cause and eventravelled to Johannesburg in May to con-duct live interviews with CliffCentral,ChaiFM and HotFM.Construction on the unit began inOctober
last year and is expected to be completed bythe end of 2017.“It costs between R8000 and R10 000 for a
child to spend just one night in the ICU atthe Red Cross Children’s Hospital, whichcould mean the difference between life anddeath,” continues Driver. “This new and im-proved unit will be able to cater for nearlydouble the amount of patients, saving morelives and essentially giving childhood backto many more patients. We are particularlygrateful to Cadi, who has worked so hard de-spite being a child herself to represent theChildren’s Hospital Trust and raise fundsfor this significant project.”V Help the Children’s Hospital Trust and Cadi reachits R10m mark.

PENNED BY A JOURNO
Make a typo andthe errorists winWorking in thenewspaper industry is anun-forgiving career choice. Any mistake youmight make, down to a typo caused by yourslow ring finger, is there for all to see.The embarrassment of having your mis-
take as front page news is one of the reasonsjournalists check facts and dates and see ev-ery story triple checked. But we are still hu-man and prone to errors.Worse still is that newsrooms around the
world are shrinking. Fewer people arewear-ing more than one hat under demandingdeadlines. Gone are the days that the jour-nalist were only responsible for getting andfiling their story, because the photographer,pageplanner, layout artist andvarious copy-editors would see to the rest.At People’s Post, our journalists, on aver-
age, work on two editions, covering dozensof suburbs. They’re responsible to fill theseeditions with both articles and photos, fromback to front, every week while attendingmeetings and events late at night and overweekends. And then there are the two tothree hour long (sometimes half a day) coun-cil meetings that take place at least once amonth.Most of these stories are gathered and
written over three or four days for a weeklydeadline. Some journalists also have extraproduction duties – page planning, subbingand layout – added to their workload ondeadline days. As anyone who works in thatkind of high-pressured industry will under-stand: it’s no easy feat.And they still do their workwith integrity
and honesty, with a smile on their faces anda kind word for any reader theymight meet.In each story, we have to guard against a
range of ethical principles, ensuring fair-ness to both parties, and objectivity. Withthe amount of misinformation we sift
through, there are much worse errors wecould make than a spelling or grammar er-ror.To prevent those nasty little spelling and
grammar gremlins, our editor and subeditorcheck anything between 120 and 160 pagesin our 10 zoned editions – in a day and a half.To fill just a quarter of a page is between 350and 500 words. You can do the maths to un-derstand the sheermagnitude of their work.If you were to look at our error rate (we’d
confidently put it at less than 1%), we’re do-ing better than the airline industry.And often after triple checking every arti-
cle, as was the case last week, an error slipsthrough and is spotted only after it has beensent to theprinter (“Librarypeddles forpow-er”, People’s Post False Bay, 7 June).And when it comes to the cost of calling
back a page to fix that error – unless it’s afactual error that will land us in hot waterwith the ombudsman or in court – we’d rath-er swallow our pride and take the flack fromour loyal errorists.We might sound superhuman, but we’re
really not. That’s why we appreciate everyreader that alerts us to these errors.But telling a journalist they aren’t quali-
fied, or shouldn’t have their jobs over a spell-ing or grammar error, is uncalled for.We’ve put our hearts into giving you the
best work we can. So when you notice we’veslipped up, be kind to us – we’re doing thebest we can to bring you the best qualitynews.V Peddle vs Pedal: “Pedal always relates to bicycles,pianos, organs, boats, looms, sewing machines, andother machines. The pedals are the foot-operatedcomponents. The word also functions as a verb mean-ing to operate pedals. Peddle is a verb meaning tosell or to travel about selling goods. It often refers tothe sale of illicit goods.” – Grammarist.com

Give addicts afair chanceSeeing that it’s Youth Month I havetaken it upon myself to share with youa problem that our youth faces today –the problem of drug addiction.Not only does the addiction seem to
be the main problem but these addictsfind it extremely hard to find workonce they have decided to turn theirlives around.I know exactly what I am talking
about, because for me finding workwas a huge problem because of mycriminal record.Most companies state that you
should be criminal and credit clear. Sohow are the recovering addictssupposed to then become “normal”members of society if they cannot findwork? This further irritates the issuebecause it leaves room for depressionand feelings of unworthiness.I feel that companies should em-
brace these individuals for making thechoice to turn their lives around, ittakes character and determination –something that any and every employ-er should want in an employee.So to all the employers out there,
most addicts are very skilled, perfec-tionists and extremely loyal. Do whatneeds to be done, test them regularlyfor drugs and even watch them closelybut do not cast their CV’s aside.If they can show amazing character
so can you.EMILE NAIKER

Interesting innovations in education couldbe influencing teachers with an exciting
project at the University of Cape Town.This year the UCT vice-chancellor’s social
innovation challenge, UCT Upstarts, is ask-ing student social entrepreneurs to redesigneducation in South Africa.For the second year, the project is driving
a “student start-upnation”, and this year theprogrammehas challenged students to focustheir social entrepreneurial prowess on re-inventing, re-imagining, redesigning and re-humanising the education system.Following last year’s successful debut pro-
gramme that resulted in the launch of 12 stu-dent start-ups overnight at its signature“Idea Auction”, UCT Upstarts is again put-ting young South African social innovatorson the map with its 12-week social innova-tion curriculum and a brief to “Re-educateEducation”.This challenge is a joint initiative between
the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation andEntrepreneurship (a specialised unit at theUCT Graduate School of Business), SuperStage (a social innovation platform for stu-dents) and the office of the vice-chancellorof the university.Social entrepreneur Gina Levy, the
founder of Upstarts and Super Stage, addsthe initiative gives students a platform to ef-fect positive change around them. “We arecreating a new generation of ‘upstarts’ – stu-dents who are solving real-world problemsfrom campus – because we believe sociallyimpactful business ideas are the most pow-erful form of protest,” she says. “And, be-cause opportunity is our currency, we’vecreated a life-changing platform that gives
students the chance to effect positive changeon our continent.”From April to September, students are at-
tending two lunchtime coaching/workshopsessions a week as “passengers” aboard adouble-decker bus on UCT’s upper campus.The “Upstarts Coach” is the epicentre of
social innovation, a 24-hour express busjourney from upstart to start-up.Their “drivers” are inspiring and interac-
tive coaches who deliver talkshops, work-shops and do-shops aboard the bus, intro-ducing students to a diverse network ofchange makers in their own right, and mak-ing this journey a trip to remember.The 45 like-minded students on the bus
were selected after a self-motivating applica-tion process. They are passionate self-start-ers who come from a cross-section of disci-plines, ages and backgrounds, and are nowpart of multifaceted teams of four to fivemembers. Their “destination” is the IdeaAuction, where theywill pitch their start-upideas to an “audience of opportunity”.This is a live bidding event where hand-
picked movers and shakers will crowd-bidtheir expertise, resources, networks, incu-bation spaces, travel opportunities, mediaexposure and money to launch their revolu-tionary start-up ideas into action.Over R110 000 was raised on the floor at
last year’s Idea Auction, with additional in-kind support to the approximate value ofR500 000 generated too (coaching sessions,resources, office space, transport, cameracrews, computers, building materials, ex-pertise and network contacts).Some of the 2015 start-ups included solu-
tions such as rethinking foodwastage to rev-olutionising South Africa’s traditional stok-vel system.V Visit uctupstarts.uct.ac.za for more information.

When it comes to catching some big bandbeats Darryl Andrews is the man to call.On Friday 24 June the Wittebome Civic
Centre will be rocking as he hosts anotherNostalgia Nite at the Civic.But there’s more to this musician than
meets the eye – or is it ear?The talented guitarist, bassist, composer
and arranger may be known to generationsofmusic lovers for hisworkwith groups likeMissing Link, Mahogany, and MJ9 in hisearly years since 1994 he has been an inte-gral part of producing the next generationof musical talents.Currently teaching jazz studies at the Col-
lege ofMusic at UCT the Plumstead residentexplains that he knewmusic would be a partof his life since he was very young.“Our family was originally from Durban
and my parents played music with my dadplaying guitar,” he says.“I was seven when he bought my older
brother a guitar and I cried that I also want-ed one. Thank goodness that my tearsworked because I loved playing as my dadtaught us and we started playing anythingwe heard on radio. Then we moved to CapeTown to Walmer Estate and I had lost inter-est but at high school I met more people whowere playing. Linda de Bruin was singingfolk songs and playing guitar so I dusted offmy guitar and the interest grew again.“We started our own band, Gimmick, with
people like Randy Groenemeyer, Kevin Ver-ster on bass and we were playing using hi-fis. We did not even have proper gear but itwas fun and we enjoyed it. Then CalvinHumbles gotme intoMissingLinkand it justgrew from there.”Darryl explains
that with no formalmusic education hestarted teachinghim-self because he knewthat he wanted totake his career seri-ously. “While I waspart of Mahogany weused to rehearse allday but during thebreaks I would be sit-ting with my booksand that is how myknowledge grew.“This eventually
led to me being partof the band for theproduction of Guysand Dolls where An-drew Lilley was onkeyboards. He was atUCT at the time buthad to leave for fur-ther studies and herecommended me totake up his teachingpost.
“The rest as they say is history and I havebeen there ever since.”When it comes to hosting the nostalgic
nights concerts he points out that it is notjust about sitting down and enjoying thesounds.“We are catering to the needs of a genera-
tion who used to go out and enjoy this kindof “jol” in their youth – and they still lovethose sounds.“The music we play is music they know
so it’s about gettingupanddancing thenightaway. And, it’s also about friendships thatwere formed during those days and stillstand today.“The ’70s and ’80s was an exciting time for
entertainment on the Cape Flats and peoplestillwant to enjoy that feeling – it keeps themand us young,” he laughs.For the session on Friday 24 June Darryl
has put together some top class players forhis “little” big bandwhowill be entertainingthe punters.These include Bruce Muirhead who
shares the guitar seat with Darryl, AndrewFord on keyboards, Shaun Johannes onbass, FrankPaco ondrumsandJohnHassanon percussion.There’s also a brass section with Vaughn
Fransch and Dave Thompson on trumpets,MurrayBuitendagon trombone,withJustinBellairs, Zeke Le Grange and Georgia Joneson saxophone.Adding to the sound will be vocalists TJ
Simon, Amy Campbell, Kim Collins andDanielle Biton.“It’s going to be a blast to bring back some
great musical moments,” concluded Darryl.V Tickets for Nostalgia Nite at the Civic are R180 andyou can bring your own refreshments with a cash barin operation as well. Info and bookings from Margoon 083 526 9763 or email [email protected].

“Goodwood Bowling Club, like so manyother bowling clubs in the country, hasseen a decline in membership, mostly dueto older members passing away. The clubhas been in existence since 1963 and has agood track record with many a districtplayer, and is a strong role player in West-ern Province,” says Pontes.
The Goodwood Bowling Club announcedthat 22-year-old Protea player Anneke Sny-man has come on board to be the face ofthe campaign.
Anneke, a Bredasdorp and Boland play-er residing in Cape Town, is a dual memberat the Goodwood Bowling Club.
She is passionate about bowls and keento see bowls being taken to townships andmore children from all backgrounds play-ing the game.
In order for this venture to be a success,schools must buy into the idea and help in-troduce the game of bowls to their learners.That is where the next generation of cham-pions will come from, and that is the pointof this drive.V Readers who would like to get involved and playon the Youth Day at Goodwood can contact GlendaPontes 082 371 2940 and for further information vis-it www.bowlssa.co.za or www.facebook.com/BowlsSouthAfrica.
Huge drive to get thebowling woods rolling
On-track action at karting champsWildcards, multiple winners and a
large dose of intrigue highlighted abrilliant Cape kart meeting.
Anyone who had the pleasure to attend thefourth round of the Western Cape KartingChampionship at Killarney on Saturday willagree that it was a great day’s racing featur-ing wildcard winners, upsets and brillianton-track action all day long, the WPMC KartClub says in a press release.
It would be a trick to pick the race of theday, but the often pedestrian Max Challenge125s certainly stood out among a day of high-lights. Championship leader Dino Stermin(Designer Trims RKT Kosmic) and Dino Del-ano Fowler (Suprocom WOrr FA) arrived atthe circuit to find a pair of ominous wild-cards entered in their class. The CRG duowere reigning WP class champion JonathanAberdein back in the country on holidayfrom his German ADAC Formula 4 cam-paign and Umpie Swart, taking a break fromPolo Cup action this weekend.
It proved a head to head of extreme enter-tainment as Swart and Aberdein stole thefirst heat from Stermin with Fowler in closeattendance, before Stermin struck back totake a stunning race 2 from Fowler and Ab-erdein. But Aberdein made no mistakes tolead the final from flag to flag from Stermin,Swart and Fowler. Stermin however didbrilliantly to win the day from Aberdein,Swart, Fowler, Nicholas Jacobs and MarcoJoos, with just two points separating the topthree.
The high school Rotax Junior Max 125s al-so delivered an epic battle that ragedthroughout the day, but it was SebastianBoyd who came out tops aboard his BoydFreight Kosmic with two wins to one overchampionship leader Jason Coetzee (RKTKosmic) and Dario Busi, who fought hard toput his Automan Birel third in a supremelycompetitive class. Aidan Strydom (Turbo-
Tech CRG) drove a clever trio of races to edgeout the injured Andrew Rackstraw (Tony),and unlucky Daniel Duminy (Kosmic), whofell victim to some hectic midfield action.
The ever-spectacular 60cc primary schoolCape Maxterinos delivered three winners onthe day, but race 2 victor Charl Visser (Bat-tery Energy Zanardi) was the most consist-ent to take overall honours from race 1 win-ner Joseph Oelz (Zanardi), Jason MacBeath(Zanardi), Kai van Zijl (CRG) and Zanardiduo Kyle Visser and Nicholas Sage, whileTroy Dolinschek (Makita Kosmic) took therace 3 win.
Paul Malcolm (Charl Electric) continuedhis winning ways to take overall honours inthe smallest u.8 Cadet class, although he hada problem in race 1 to allow Joaquin de Oliv-eira to take the first race win. Reese Koorzenended up second overall in another busy aft-ernoon from Joshua Smit, Reza Levy (Jive),de Oliveira (whose day went backwards aft-er that first win) and Mishca Williams whobattled a down on power engine.
It was a far more straightforward affair inthe DD2 gearbox class, where former WPchampion Jonathan Thomas (PartnersCRG) cantered to a trio of victories ahead of
a three-way three-race tussle settled in fa-vour of Tristan de Nobrega (Race Driver SACRG), who beat CRG quartet Hilton Peters,Delano Fowler, Jonathan Aberdein andChad Daniel to second. Kian van der Merwebeat Isabelle Fowler two races to one to takeClubman honours ahead of Class B winnerJody van Rensburg.
The Cape’s top karters now head to iDubethis weekend for the third round of the SANational Karting Championship and thenthe National Final in Vereeniging a monthlater, before returning to commence the sec-ond half of the WP championship on 30 July.
Jonathan Aberdein (299), Dino Stermin (247) and Umpie Swart (239) shared spectacular Max Challenge Wins at the Western Cape KartingChampionship at Killarney on Saturday.

Stanturf Football Club, formed 25years ago in the heart of the Rock-lands, previously known as TurfUnited and Stanton FC, is lookingforward to this year’s Kenpark u.23tournament, which takes placethis weekend.
A total of 24 teams from acrossthe city, including defendingchampions Glendene United, willtake to Kenpark United’s fields inMitchell’s Plain to showcase theirrising talent.
According to Stanturf’s u.23coach, Jeanne Valentyn, his char-ges are excited at the prospect ofrubbing shoulderswith someof thecity’s more renowned clubs, afterqualifying for this year’s tourna-ment after a 16-year absence.
Valentyn attributes the barrenperiod to a number of factors,which ended in their club losingthe bulk of their youth players overthe years.
“With many ups and downs inthe club as well as the community,we still had the game of football atheart. As a former junior player(myself), it was then a joy to playand as time went past our commu-nity, (others) became invested
with gangsters and the use of drugsincreased, especially within theyouth. We ended up losing playersas well as a loss of interest in thegame. Keeping the youth motivat-ed and interested in the game washard and as an amateur club, find-ing attacking players was diffi-cult,” he states.
He says that the only other wayto lure talent back to the club wasto enter in well-known tourna-ments which may provide a gate-way onto a bigger platform, wherea player may have the opportunityof plying their trade professional-ly. “The players are excited, pre-paring to showcase their talent andhopefully impress to possibly fulfiltheir dreams and make it in this in-dustry.
“We recently partnered up witha local Mitchell’s Plain businessthat has now assisted us with asponsor, so that we can also lookthe part.”
The team held a kit launch withtheir sponsor on Thursday 9 June,which brought a renewed spark tothe squad ahead of the tournamentproper this weekend.
“Just to see the faces of our boys,excited to receive a small gift, thiscould not have been possible if wedid not engage in this venture.”
