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 or-ganisation 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 pre-register for the open day.

As fire season is here residents are urged to be fire aware. PHOTO: ANDREW HAGAN/ VOLUNTEER WILDFIRE SERVICES

@FebAstrid

To strengthen and help the areasin the Wynberg policing cluster

The Association has seen a 6%increase in watch membership,which now stands at about 1371members.

Mike Voortman, chairperson ofthe Association, said at the meet-ing its focus for next year would al-so be intelligence-based, continuedcrime prevention and planning forchange, while putting emphasis onefficient resource deployment andoperation capacity.

“We will also deploy one or twonew camera points to ensure wecan monitor more areas in the com-munity. We will also be doingmaintenance work on the camerasand going into a fibre phase-over,”he said.

Voortman also thanked all thevarious roleplayers in the commu-nity – from the police to neighbour-hood watch members who volun-teered their time to keep the com-munity safe.

“We all know that the police areunderresourced and therefore it isvital that we support them in theirduty. We are grateful for the workthey do and look forward to contin-uing this partnership, not onlywith them but our security provid-ers as well,” he says.

During the meeting, awardswere handed out by ColonelNtombesiwze Mbalani, head of de-tectives at Wynberg police station,to individuals for outstandingwork and dedication to the commu-nity.

Awards were also given to twosecurity providers’ armed re-sponse officers who have excelledand gone out of their way to helpcommunity members.

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

heart when I see what the city is doing toDistrict Six. They are building, but theydon’t want 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 addressmayorPatricia deLille so thatthey could make some progress in gettingtheir land back.Abrahams’s family had been forcefully

removed fromDistrict 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.“I’m not happy in Mitchell’s Plain. It’s

like we are in prison. The drugs, gangster-ism and crime are out of hand. Gangstersare running our lives.“They must just take us back where we

belong. 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, when we lived in District

Sixwewere so happy but bymoving us theytook our happiness away. If the City doesn’tlisten tous this timearoundwewill go squat

on the land. It belongs to us. Until whenshould we wait?” she said.Darawiesa de Villiers, another land

claimant who is living in Lentegeur, saidthey wanted their land back because that iswhere their livelihood was.“People are getting old. For how long

must we wait? They promised us that wewill have the land but we are still waiting.We can’t wait any longer. Our lives arethere. We have memorises there. The Citymust act now; we are tired of empty promis-es,” she said.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 claimants.ShahiedAjam, chairperson of theDistrict

Six Working Committee, says it’s practical-ly impossible to compensate for the injusti-ces done through the Natives Land andGroup Areas 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 im-agine how, for 21 years into democracy inthe new South Africa, a previously disen-franchised people, who were disposed oftheir rights and forcibly evicted from theirhomes in the apartheid era, have not yetbeen properly restituted.Moreover, it is un-acceptable that people continue to suffer hu-miliation and personal setbacks, when theyhave been deprived of their basic humanrights for so long,” he says.Thememorandum includes a proposal for

holistic remedies and calls on the City ofCape Town to act.

“Since corruption crept into the firstround with the flopped housing develop-ment scheme, a forensic audit should beconducted into how the housing allocationto residents presently occupying houses inDistrict Six was done. We want a fast-track-ing of things, because the people can’t waitany longer.“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 governmentshould now become proactive in their ef-forts to restore the people’s dignity beforeit is too late, sincemanyclaimants are elder-ly and fear that justice may not be broughtin their lifetime,” says Ajam.Wilfred Solomons-Johannes, a represent-

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

has been communicated timeandagain thatthis is not the City’s matter but of the de-partment of rural development and land re-form. The City has done what it was sup-posed to do and land has been released tothe national government, so everything lieswith it. However, we will help them followthe right channels but the people who aremarching are the very same people who areblocking opportunities for others.”Ian Neilson, deputy mayor, says the City

released 42 hectare of available, City-ownedland to thedepartment of rural developmentand land reform in 2000 and has budgetedfor service provision. He adds that it is thedepartment that decides which develop-ment option to pursue and drives the proc-ess to determine which applicants are thebeneficiaries of the development.

What a ride tohelp the childrenTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Omar Anwar (53), originally from Wood-stock, is going back to his roots by help-

ing children from the area who have an au-tism spectrum 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.Two years ago he ran the Gun Run half-

marathon to help a paraplegic boy andraised the equivalent of three years’ schoolfees.“Prior to that I initiated an autism fund-

raising and awareness campaign as part ofa cycling team. I’ve done several charity ini-tiatives over the years, as a cyclist and arunner,” 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 people

could do to help andhewanted to con-tribute his part. He is happy that hecan help his community.“I’m excited about the iron butt

ride and the broader global motorcy-cle tour.“I’ll be doing something I’m pas-

sionate about for a very deservingcause. It will be very fulfilling forme.It’s a great opportunity and I thinkI’m very fortunate to be doing some-thing I enjoy andmaking a differencein someone’s life at the same time.”

Omar Anwar rode from Cape Town toPietermaritzburg in less than a day toraise funds for children in Woodstockwith autism.

Farm life for pupils’ peace, gradesCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

A group of 40 matriculants fromdisadvantaged backgrounds

are giving it their all as they pre-pare for the final examinations.The pupils from Christel House

inOtteryhave taken their places attheir study venue known as theFarm since Friday 28 October.They will stay there until their fi-nal examinations are done.Currently running for the sec-

ond year, the school’s farm pro-gramme was introduced to helpmatriculants keep focused duringtheir last year at Christel House, anot-for-profit school for pupils liv-ing in abject poverty.Engineering Graphics and De-

sign teacher Randall Daniels sayspupils find the environment im-proves their learning experienceand theymake themost out of theirtime at the Farm.“We have to be realistic when it

comes to our pupils and the realityis that they come from homes orcommunities where it will be achallenge to prepare for their ex-ams. This is why the programmewas introduced to the school and sofar it has shown real success. Our100% pass rate last year is testimo-ny to that,” Daniels says.Pupils visit the Farm at the end

of every semester to prepare fortheir exams and are housed for theentire exam time.“The girls are housed on one side

of the farm and the boys in anothersection of the farm. They are thenalso divided into groups that will

take care of the cleaning roster,each with a captain. This way thepupils are also taught to be respon-sible,” Daniels adds.History teacher Shaun Stevens

explains the groups are supervisedby a rotating schedule of teacherswho come to the farm and preparepupils for specific subjects threedays before the time.“This is what Christel House is

doing for its pupils; ensuring thatpupils get the best out of theirlearning experience. We do notknow what other schools do fortheir matriculants to offer supportbut this iswhatwe’re doing and it’sworking,” says Stevens.Grade 12 pupil Clayton*, who ad-

mits he was once a “rough child”,had been told that success was outof his reach.But now, as he prepares to write

the biggest exam of his life so far,he expects to excel.Clayton is one of the star pupils

at Christel House.One of the many prizewinners

rewardedat theChristelHouseval-edictory ceremony in October,Clayton has benefited from theschool’s holistic approach to learn-ing, including the farm study pro-gramme.After participating in the farm

study programme this year, Clay-ton shot up to tenth place in hisgrade. He also received an awardin recognition of the way he con-ducts himself.The mission of the school is to

break the cycle of poverty througha holistic approach that includesnutrition, social support, medical

care, community outreach andhigh educational standards. Thematric pass rate since the school’sinception has been 100% and, lastyear, the matric exemption passrate was 64%, well above the na-tional average.At the valedictory ceremony,

principal Ronald Fortune said heexpected even better results fromthis year’s Grade 12 pupils andcalled them a very special class.“We are expecting more distinc-

tions from this class than previousyears and also targeting a higherbachelor pass rate of 75%,” he said.* Not his real name.

Mawande Vumazonhe from Delft, a matric pupil at Christel House in Ottery,prepares for his final exam in Engineering Graphics and Design at the farmvenue where the school’s matrics are staying during the exams.

ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid

Police have charged two men for attemptedhijacking in Bergvliet after they were cor-nered and arrested last week.The attempted hijacking occurred in Ea-

gle Way as a resident was reversing out ofhis driveway.Sergeant Deidre Solomon, spokesperson

of Kirstenhof police station, says he was ap-proached by two men in his driveway.“One of the men came to the driver’s side

of the car and had what seemed to be a 9mmpistol. When the victim saw the pistol hepressed on the car’s hooter to alert theneighbours and this caused the suspects toflee the scene,” she says.A worker on a neighbour’s premises wit-

nessedwhatwashappening and pressed thepanic button.“The victim, together with the worker,

gave chase and alerted BH Security whowere in the vicinity. The suspectswere thencornered in a local bottle store where theywere apprehended and taken to Kirstenhofpolice,” she says.The weapon was later discovered to be a

replica of a 9mm firearm.The two suspects from Gugulethu were

charged and appeared in theWynbergMag-istrates’ Court.Commander of Kirstenhof police station

Lieutenant-Colonel June Cilliers has ap-plauded the actions of the bystander and thesecurity company.“Actions of both once again emphasised

the importance of close communication be-tween the community, security companiesand police,” she says.

Mandrax arrestIn another incident Kirstenhof’s crime

prevention unit was attending a communi-ty meeting in Westlake on Thursday 29 Oc-tober when they spotted a known drug deal-er walking in the area.Solomon says the officers stopped the 52-

year-old suspectwhowas found to be in pos-session of 52 mandrax tablets.“He was detained and charged for being

in possession of drugs and appeared in theWynberg Magistrates’ Court on Friday 30October.”V Anyone with information on crime can call the po-lice on 10111 or Crime Stop on 086 001 0111.

ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid

A 48-year-old Westlake resident died lastweek after he was hit over the head witha spade, allegedly by his stepson.The incident occurred on Thursday

when the stepson intervened in an argu-ment between the victim and the step-son’s mother.Sergeant Deidre Solomon, spokesper-

son of Kirstenhof police station, says thesuspect became aggressive and grabbeda spade, whichwas in the garden, and hitthe victim over the head.“The victim died on the scene as a re-

sult of the injury,” she says.Solomon says after the suspect hit the

victim over the head he fled the scene.However, through fast detective work

and the assistance of the community thesuspect was arrested on Friday, the dayafter the incident.Solomon says the 28-year-old suspect

from Westlake was detained and will becharged with murder.He appeared in the Wynberg Magis-

trates’ Court yesterday.

Robs shop, goes to prisonMeanwhile,WarrantOfficer Theron of

Kirstenhof police station’s detectivebranch managed to secure a straighteight-year conviction for a robber.Solomon explains that in March the

robber from Lavender Hill entered theFraming Centre shop and asked an em-ployee who was working at the till whatthe closing time was.The 43-year-old robber later returned

to the shop and pretended to be interest-ed in purchasing a frame.“On his return the suspect threatened

the victimwith a knife andwhen the vic-tim reached for the panic button the sus-pect reached for the cash that was in thetill,” she says.The robber managed to flee the scene

with R380 cash.However, he was later linked to the

crime through his fingerprints and wasdetained and charged with business rob-bery.Hewas remanded until the case was fi-

nalised. Bail was denied.On Wednesday 28 October the robber

was sentenced to eight years in prison.

LOUISA STEYL@LouNotes

Rock heavyweight Arno Car-stens, who lives in Fish Hoek,

is putting his name behind thisyear’s Nederburg Picnic Pops con-cert.

The annual benefit concert aimsto showcase young and emergingmusicians on a platform wherethey get the opportunity to sharethe stage with more recognisednames.

Arno will be sharing this year’sPicnic Pops stage with jazz singerAdelia Douw, award-winning so-prano Goitsemang Lehobye andtenor Lukhanyo Moyake, alongwith the Boland CommunityChoir. They will be accompaniedby the Cape Philharmonic YouthOrchestra, conducted by BrandonPhillips, resident conductor of theCape Town Philharmonic Orches-tra.

Arno says he feels honoured tohave been asked to participate inthe concert.

CollabThe concert comes after a busy

October for Arno, who was in-

volved with Xperia Mashlab’sRocktober project which saw himcollaborating with Black CatBones guitarist Andre Kriel, JadeNeebe (known as Jack Parow’sdrummer) and ISO bassist FrancoSchoeman under the name the

Wildcards.The initiative is driven by 5FM

DJ John Savage and the idea is tothrow a group of artists who havenever worked with each other to-gether and see what happens instudio.

“It’s very fast-paced and excit-ing,” Arno says, adding: “It was anawesome experiment and we cameup with a pretty cool song.”

Videos of the recording processcan be viewed at www.arnocar-stens.com. The song is only availa-ble to SonyXperia users at the mo-ment, but will be released to thepublic later this month.

Nudies doccieArno is involved in the making

of a Springbok Nude Girls docu-mentary. The former Nudies front-man has been putting his name be-hind the production in an attemptto help raise the funding needed.

Arno explains the film is about40% finished.

“They need about R50 000 to fin-ish it, so we are supporting themas much as possible.”

Fans can make donations in ex-change for rewards on thunda-fund.com if they want to help make

the documentary possible.Arno is busy working on a new

album, his first Afrikaans one, andintends to release a few singles indifferent styles along with the newCD, “that’s gonna be very interest-ing”, in the coming months.

The all-round creative is alsoworking on a new art exhibition.Art lovers can get a peek at hiswork at arnocarstensfineart.com.

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.
