Millions of rands are being pumped into fi-nally turning sub-standard school buildingsinto top-quality educational facilities.
The provincial education department hasmade funds available for two schools inHanover Park and one in Lansdowne to berebuilt.
The schools will be also be boasting newmodern facilities.
Mountview High is one of the schools fac-ing demolition before a new building is con-structed.
The school has 588 pupils and the woodenstructure was less than ideal as a place oflearning.
Principal Archie Benjamin says the cur-rent facility is past its sell-by date.
“The school building that we have had forthe past 36 years is not a solid structure. Thematerial used was meant to last for 10 to 15years,” he explains.
Benjamin says because the school was ina bad state, they had to spend tons of moneyto maintain the building.
“The ceilings in some classrooms are fall-ing apart and the tiles are damaged due towater leakages,” he says.
Michaela Sardien, a Grade 10 pupil, sayssome of the school’s walls are filled withholes.
“The school is in a bad condition,” shesays.
The netball player says the new buildingwill provide them with a chance to explorenew learning methods.
“We only have a computer lab and the newschool will have a science lab. There are lotsof other pupils who are interested in study-ing science and they will have everythingthey need in front of them,” she says.
Another issue concerning the teenager isthat pupils don’t receive individual atten-tion during lessons.
“The new classes will no longer be crowd-ed and that will mean the teachers can con-centrate on pupils that are struggling,” shesays.
Bronagh Casey, the spokesperson for pro-vincial education minister Donald Grant,
says the new buildings will include a schoolhall, feeding kitchens, library, laboratories,workshops and computer rooms.
The project essentially comprises the re-placing of old buildings originally construct-ed with inappropriate materials with newbrick and mortar structures.
“In most instances, the old structureswere made from wooden or prefabricatedmaterials and were generally built duringapartheid,” she says.
“Using our Geographic Information Sys-tem and information obtained from the dis-tricts, we were able to ascertain whichschool buildings were in dire need of re-placement.”
Benjamin says the school has about 48 pu-pils per class. “We want to reduce the classsizes and the new building will allow us todo that as we will have more rooms availa-ble,” he says. “The new building will bringdignity to the pupils and staff. In the past wemanaged to build our own sports courts andfields through partnerships with differentcompanies. We will do everything to makesure the new building will be maintainedverywell so that future generationswill ben-efit from it.”
Voorspoed Primary inHanover Park, Por-tia Primary in Lansdowne as well as RedRiver and Silverstream Primary in Manen-berg will also form part of the rebuildingproject.
The replacement schools project will befunded partly through the education depart-ment's infrastructure budget and partlythrough the Accelerated School Infrastruc-ture Development Initiative programme.
Casey says replacing inappropriate struc-tures requires building a new school on theexisting school property.
In someprojects, thenewstructure is builtadjacent to the old building so that thepupilsmay continue to use the premises of the oldschool while the building of the new struc-ture is underway. In other instances, theprovision of alternative accommodationsuch as mobile units is required during thebuilding process.
The old inappropriate structures are torndown to make way for the new building.

Snuggledunder a sparse blanketand struggling to find comforton a wet, dismantled cardboardbox, he braces himself for thenight ahead.As the rain continues to pour
down, Ashley vanBloom tries tokeep warm under the bridge hecalls home.The coals of the fire he and his
“housemates” built with a plas-tic milk crate and branchesglows as they seek heat aroundthe brazier.Ashley has been homeless all
his life. Over the years he hashad to steel himself against thenatural elements of aCapeTownwinter.And, despite August being
known as the Cape’s rainymonth, it seems the full wrath ofthe season has come early, andwith it several cold fronts mov-ing across the peninsula sincethe beginning of this month.Ashley and three other home-
less people recently made thebottom of a bridge along the M5highway their home.Homeless since birth, the 23-
year-old had been abandoned byhis parents in his birthplace ofWorcester.“I started off with nothing and
I still have nothing – no family,no friends, no money, not evena warm place to sleep,” Ashleysays.He’s never lived in an orphan-
age. By 17, he was stabbed forfood three times, arrested forstealing clothing from a storeand hospitalised for pneumoniaand dehydration.“Life on the streets is not easy
– I had to learn it the hard way.I try tomake thebest ofmysitua-tion, but it’s hard. I am not giv-
ing up,” Ashley says.He has never had the opportu-
nity for formal schoolingandhispersonal documents were de-stroyed in a shack fire.But this has done little to curb
his hunger to learn. Ashleywould jump over a school fenceand eavesdrop at classroomwin-dows during lessons.Selwin Adams uses the same
bridge to shelter from the rain.He started calling the streets
his home after running away toescape an abusive home.“I would have done anything
to get away frommyparents. Be-ing on the streets made me feelfree and happy,” Selwin says.“I experienced somuch on the
streets.Now I tellmyself I amgo-ing to die here.”The 32-year-old has spent six
years in jail, been hooked ondrugs and abandoned life as agangster.“Living on the streets is no
joke, yet there are people whotake their lives for granted. Wedon’t knowwhere our next mealwill come fromor ifwe are goingtomake it through thenight,” hesays.“On the surface itmay seemas
if we are happy to live like this,but we are not.”Both Selwin and Ashley go
door-to-door asking for food,clothes and blankets. They col-lect branches fromopen fields tostart fires to keepwarmand relyon disposed food to still the hun-ger pangs.A study conducted by the City
of Cape Town this month showsthat 7 000 homeless people roamthe streets of Cape Town.Hassan Khan, CEO for the Ha-
ven Night Shelter, says demandrapidly increases at sheltersduring winter.
He says their shelters don’tclose their doors to the home-less. “We obviously cannot takeevery homeless person at theshelter, but we try our best be-cause we know this is a very dif-ficult time of the year for them,”Khan says.Field workers at the shelter
assess the person for the possi-bility of re-integration into soci-ety.“We speak to them and try to
convince them to return to theirfamilies or homes,” Khan says.He urges the public to avoid
handing out items to the home-less, as this will only keep themon the streets.Suzette Little, the Mayoral
Committee member for SocialDevelopment and Early Child-hoodDevelopment, saysanaddi-tional R200 000 has been budget-ed for the street people pro-gramme in the City’s winterplan.“The issue of persons living
on the streets will always be acomplex, multi-faceted socialproblem with diverse precur-sors and risk factors,” Littlesays.“Nobodywants to be out in the
cold, wet weather during winterand, therefore, the City has en-sured that we have the rightpartners to address the challeng-es.”She adds the programme aims
to “effectively reduce thenumber of people living, sleep-ing and seeking substances suchas alcohol and illegal narcoticson the street”.“A database of street people
will be compiled so that we caneffectively reach asmanypeopleas possible.”V Phone the City’s Street People callcentre on 0800 872 201.

Something about the sale of discounteddairy products in Manenberg seems to beoff.Residents have come forward to say Par-
malat and Clover products, often sold door-to-door in the community, appear to be ex-pired food destined for pig farms.They suspect the products have been re-
moved from shops as they have reachedtheir sell-by date and are supposed to be re-moved from their packaging before beingsent to farmers to be fed to animals.Instead, they are ending up in the homes
of people living in Manenberg.A former customer, who did not want to
be named, says she assumed those sellingthe goods were working for a company dis-tributing the expired products for a factoryshop.“But I became suspicious when I realised
that they work irregular hours. And thenone day I heard someone say that the prod-ucts are supposed to be going to pig farms,”she explains. “We’ve approached the com-panies who said they would investigate fur-ther, but we’re still waiting for a response.I took some of the products to themand theyfound a block of cheese I had bought to befive months old!”However, both Clover and Parmalat say
they have not received any complaints.Manie Roode, the spokesperson for Clo-
ver, explains that the company disposes ofexpired products by removing them fromtheir packaging and placing them in bluecontainers.These containers are then transported to
pig farms to be used in animal feed.He offers up a security breach as an expla-
nation for how the products are hitting thestreets. “It’s not supposed to happen. Thereis security to ensure it doesn’t leave thepremises in its original packaging. Therecould be a security breach where productsare smuggled off the premises,” Roode says.Parmalat has similar safety systems in
place and also removes goods from the pack-aging before disposing of them.Chris Vermeulen, the head of Human Re-
sources at Parmalat, says the expired prod-uct is chopped out into bulk containers andthis is then sold to contracted pig farmers.“The original empty containers are recy-cled or disposed of if necessary through anaccredited third party service provider.This is done to prevent anybody from col-lecting the product for human consumptionand we require safe disposal certificates toensure that this has been done in accord-ance with all legal guidelines, as well aswith our strict internal quality control sys-tems and procedures,” he says.But another Manenberg resident says he
has seen these blue containers being of-floaded with a variety of products, includ-ing cheese, yoghurt, milk, desserts andspreads.He suspects the sell-by dates are removed
from the packaging with alcohol. “Theyused to sell fromdoor to door in trolleys, butnow there are bulk buyerswho have stalls.”Residents say the side-effects are disas-
trous.“The children have been getting diar-
rhoea and suffering fromallergies,” one res-ident says. “At the end of the day you’re sell-ing a product that is not good or healthy.These customers don’t have money to go tothe hospital if they get sick.”Both companies say theywill investigate.

For many of the residents of Hanover Park’s Rehoboth Age Exchange and GH StarckOld Age Home, travelling to the top of Table Mountain for the first time was a dreamcome true. However, the recent visit wasn’t just to enjoy the view. The seniors, someas old as 86, rolled out their exercise mats and broke out a sweat once at the topof the mountain. The bending and stretching was part of an initiative by the UCTPhysiotherapy Department to encourage the elderly to stay fit and young through regu-lar exercise. UCT took 28 retirees up the mountain, via the cable car, to get them flexingwhile looking at the panoramic view from the mountain-top. Here some of the partici-pants show they still have plenty of kick, much to the delight of the therapists.

If Jeff Radebe does not react to a plea fromthe provincial Department of Roads andTransport, it may result in a court case.RobinCarlisle, the provincialminister for
Roads and Transport, said on Thursday thatRadebe, the minister of Justice and Consti-tutional Development, recently halted thedepartment’s Name and Shame Campaign.Through the campaign the names of driv-
ers convicted of driving under the influencewill be published. It is run by Carlisle’s de-partment, LeadSA and the Cape Argus.The campaign, which ended inNovember,
was launched to curb drunk driving.Carlisle discussed the decision to halt the
campaign with transport minister BenMar-tins on Thursday. “I want to ask him toplease address this matter with his col-league. If nothing comes of this, we will seeklegal advice,” Carlisle said.“Wewill likely launch an interdepartmen-
tal dispute and approach an advocate to ad-vise on the legal options.”Hector Elliot, a departmental official, said
the records of drunk driving are no longersupplied to them. These records were, how-ever, made available to them earlier thisyear, but the content is vague.“(It only contains) the names and ID num-
bers, but does not indicate what the perpe-trator has done.”It is for this reason that they can no longer
publish the names, he said.Provincial traffic chief Kenny Africa said
about 25drunkdriverswerearrestedweeklyduring the campaign. “Since the campaignhas stopped, there has been an increase of
between 55 and 60 drunk drivers,” he said.But Mthunzi Mhaga, Radebe’s spokesper-
son, said the department did not “halt” thecampaign, as Carlisle alleges.“There are measures which determine
that the information supplied be thoroughlyscrutinised in consultation with the Depart-ment of Transport, and that it does not in-clude cases which could be reviewed or ap-pealed,” Mhaga said.The department’s duty is to supply the
names and details of the penalty “which weare doing”.People’s Post took to the streets to hear
what readers thought of the campaign.V Share your views by SMSing the word “Post” fol-lowed by your message to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Growing up with a defect could rob a childof achieving their dreams. But that’s untilthe Smile Foundation steps in.As part of Smile Week, 17 children from
sub-Saharan Africa underwent reconstruc-tive surgery at Red Cross Children’s Hospi-tal last week. The initiative was sponsoredby the foundation.Functioning since 2000, the NPO has as-
sisted 1600 children in need of reconstruc-tive surgery.Moira Gerszt, the foundation’s operations
executive director, says they started outsponsoring operations for cleft palates andlips, but then expanded services to doinganyreconstructive surgery for children.Malik Bougaardt spent most of his life lip
reading. Malik’s hearing was impaired ashis right ear was not growing properly.His mother, Amina, explains: “There was
nothing wrong with Malik before birth, butafter he was born, I discovered his earlobewas against his face.”He has had two operations – the first as
a two-year-old – to reconstruct his ear. Hefaces two more operations before the recon-
struction process will be complete.“Hewas a carefree child, but as he’s enter-
ing adolescence, I noticed he is becomingmore aware of his ear and developed a tem-per as a defence mechanism against hispeers who often poke fun at him,” Aminasays. “Malik wears hoodies to cover his earsbecause he doesn’t want to draw attentionto that part of his body.”She is excited as the surgeon has informed
her that Malik’s operation was successful.“The surgery involved taking a piece of
his rib and using it to reconstruct his ear,”she says.His third surgery is due in August.Registrar and trainee plastic surgeon Dr
ChrisPrice says the teamof doctorsworkingon Smile Week will not only dedicate theirtime to reconstructing cleft lips and palates,but will also include ear, hand, cranial andfacial muscle reconstructions.“Some of these problems are caused by
parent’s genes, medication which motherstook during pregnancy, alcohol abuse orcongenital disorders,” he says.“Each patient’s operation varies, depend-
ing on the severity of their condition and op-erations can take between 30 minutes and
six hours. Most cleft lip and palate surgeriesneed up to eight operations before the proc-ess is complete. These operations requirespecialised instruments, which the SmileFoundation has made possible.”Gerzst says the foundation has an holistic
approach when assisting young patients.“Reconstructive surgery is important, but
we also have to ensure patients and familiesreceive counselling and support throughoutthe process, as it can be a traumatic ordeal,”she says.
A scalpel helps them to smile
TARQUIN DU PLESSIS says the initiative acts asa deterrent. “Government also needs to think ofharsher sentences. By driving, drunk people areputting other lives at risk too.”
ANTON ODENDAAL says the campaign shows thepotential. “If people see names in the newspaper,they’ll fear being next. But there are other crimes,like corruption, which need more attention.”
NASEEMA HOOSAIN says the campaign has thepotential to attract negative attention. “The listcould become like a legends list where peoplewould want their names to appear.”
GADEAN BRECHT says naming and shaming isneeded. “It makes people think twice. When wehad the list, the number of drunk drivers on ourroads decreased from 100 to 25 each day.”
TSHOLOFELO MOLAWA remains sceptical anddoesn’t think the list changes anything. “Becausesomeone’s name is on a list does not mean it willstop them from drinking and driving.”

Abiedah Gallie has been sleeping under anumbrella to stop the rain seeping throughthe roof of her council house from drippingonto her, this even though contractors havesupposedly repaired the problem fourtimes.In January, the City of Cape Town sentcontractors to her home in Halman Walk,Hanover Park, to clear the roof of nests.It was after this cleaning that Gallie (68)says she noticed the leaks.“When the summer rains fell I noticed theroof started leaking in the kitchen,” shesays.The dripping then started in the bath-room and soon spread to the bedroom.“Iwent to the council offices and reportedthe leaking and they sent out a contractorto fix it. This happened four times, but theleaking continues.”Gallie says one of her neighbours experi-enced similar leaking, but decided to fix theroof himself.Neighbour Veronica Solomons echoes asimilar issue with her leaking roof.“It’s not so bad during the day, but it getsvery bad at night. I don’t know what to do.I don’t have enough buckets to put underthe leaks and the house floods.”Solomons says contractors have visitedto repair the leaks, “but they never fix itproperly”.The constant damp in thehouse is drivingGallie mad, with mildew now forming onthe walls and roof. She has even had tospread plastic over some of her furniture toprotect it from the falling water and holesare starting to appear in her roof.The last strawwaswhen a leak developeddirectly above her bed, forcing her to sleepwith an umbrella over her head.“When it rains, I cry too,” a frustratedGallie says.“I have to leavemywindows open in win-ter to try and dry the house and it makes
both my grandchildren and myself sick.”Gallie says she is worried about how shewill survive the rains whenwinter starts inearnest.“The heavy rains are still coming, andnow they said Imustwait for the next finan-cial year for repairs. The place is going tofall apart. Why couldn’t they fix it the firsttime? They just aren’t interested in me,”she laments.Ward councillor Antonio van der Rheedereferred People’s Post to the City’s housingoffice, but at the time of going to print, noresponse had yet been received.Van der Rheede says: “It’s frustratingwhen contractors provide inferior work-manship. It’s unacceptable.”He pledged to investigate the matter fur-ther.

South Africans had a long weekend thanks to Youth Dayfalling on Sunday.The day commemorates the 37th anniversary of the
Soweto uprising on 16 June.In 1975, protests started inAfrican schools after a direc-
tive from the thenBantuEducationDepartment thatAfri-kaans be used on an equal basis to English as a mediumof instruction in secondary schools, says the State web-site.It says the issue was “not so much the Afrikaans as the
whole system of Bantu education”. This was “character-ised by separate schools and universities, poor facilities,overcrowded classrooms and inadequately trained teach-ers”.A year later saw more than 20 000 pupils from Soweto
beginning a protest march. The protests quickly flaredthroughout the country in an already politically volatileSouth Africa. This was a nation on fire and the youth car-ried the flame of change towards a politically indiscrimi-nate dispensation. In clashes with the police and in theensuing violence over the following weeks, about 700 peo-ple – mostly youths – were killed and property destroyed.The image of a dying Hector Pietersen being carried to
safety by a fellow-pupil will remain burnished in theminds of SouthAfricanswhochoose to remember theulti-mate price many paid. Photographer Sam Nzima wasquotedas sayinghe“sawachild falling”. “Undera showerof bullets I rushed forward andwent for the picture,” Nzi-ma said, adding later “the police were ordered to shoot”.This year’s theme is “working together for youth devel-
opment and a drug-free South Africa”.Fastforward to today and the battle has shifted into a
social sphere in which other youths may be trapped be-hind bars of their own making. Again, guns were in-volved.A case in point: the fatal shooting of Spes Bona High’s
Glenrico Martin for which two teenagers were charged.Guns and youths – what a frightening and despairing
combination.
High rental an abuse of elderlyIn response to “Twilight time turns toworryyears” (People’s Post, 4 June), I am a morefortunate elderly person who has managedto keep a home running.However what truly is upsetting is how
other people can use and abuse the elderlyunfairly.Moira is bathing in coldwater to save elec-
tricity.How can her landlord charge her R200 for
electricity in a tiny wendy house for whichshe is payingR600 amonth, and then she stillcannot use warm water?And then when she misses a payment (the
landlord) turns the electricity off? The land-
lord should examine his conscience and askfor forgiveness.I live in a two-bedroomhouse and I use on-
ly R80 a month for electricity. I run a fridgeand my TV all day. My geyser is not on allthe time and I donot have a bath everynight,but I do have a wash every day with warmwater.The abuse of the vulnerable by certain
members of the public is a huge problemandthere should be awatchdog assisting againstthis financial abuse.
PerhapsMoira needs to speak to the Rent-al Tribune.Marilyn Mills
Improve lives of needy CapetoniansRegarding the people who have suffered asa result of Cape Town’s winter weather, I re-ally feel for the children, but for the peopleflooding (no pun intended) theWesternCapefromothermalfunctioning provinces, I havevery little sympathy.They have a political agenda and are pre-
pared to sacrifice their small children intheir quest for political gain.
Everywinter they know exactly (weather-wise) what is going to happen in Cape Town,yet they keep on coming.Whatever the City or the Province does to
improve their lives is never enough.The City would do well to spend our mon-
ey on improving the lives of indigent Cape-tonians first.Russell Bennet
Your SMSes. Please get safe boxes for cellphones atschools, because most teachers chat (ontheir phones) more than helping the chil-dren learn. Or prohibit cellphones atschools. Let them use the office phone foremergencies and more attention will be fo-cused on pupils. Concerned parent
. We went through hell applying for re-zoning and objections from hateful and nas-ty neighbours. Two from 100 homes objectedand our application was stalled for morethan a year, despite having two other shopsin the area. Council was aware of this, butbecause there were no objections, theseshopswere not touched. I hope all tuckshopsare going to be checked andmade to comply,not just those who are forced to because ofobjections.Our shop is tradingagainand thecommunity is so grateful.Allwewant is fair-ness! What applies to one tuckshop must ap-ply to all. We want to live in peace!
. Tuckshops in triple-storey flats are anuisance. Running up and down on stairs,writing on our walls and knocking on ourdoors by children coming downstairs frommobile shops is really a big problem. Also,people sleeping with animals in their flatson second and third floors are a nuisance.Ban mobile shops and animals from flats.
. The City can at least give pensionerswho receive rates rebates some rebate onrefuse collection as well.
. Why are high school children allowed tosell cigarettes on school premises? There arealso (those) who sell to under-aged children.
. It saddens me when people complainabout their shortfall in finance, but you findmother andminor daughters all sharing thesame cigarette packet. I was a TB victim atthe tender age of 17 and was hospitalised forthree months. When X-rayed they found ashadow on my one lung. I stayed in hospitalfor more than eight months. I’ve neversmoked and I don’t intend to. Please, people,save our innocent toddlers and elders. Haveself-respect. We should love, care and re-spect. Concerned citizen
. Finally they are getting it right. I am sosick of smokers’ smoke permeating into ourlives. When will cigarette butts flicked outof car windows be stopped? It’s littering anddisgusting! You dare not have your car win-dow open as ash flies from the driver’s ciga-rette from the car in front of you into yourchild’s eyes. Think of others!

Lack of respect leads to ill disciplineI want to agree with Peter van Kerwel(“Bring religion back in schools”, Peo-ple’s Post Letters, 4 June).Ever since religion is “out of schools’’
it is as if the devil took over!Although discipline and respect starts
at home and schools must also do theirpart, there is no more respect for otherpeople or their (property).
You can’t respect others if you don’trespect yourself.Jasmine Uys
Forget religion, bring kissing to schoolsPeter van Kerwel argued that we shouldbring back religion into schools to fightgangsterism.
He says at a school in his area pupilsare allowed to pray at school and he ob-serves no forms of drugs and violence.He concludes that praying thus stops
violence.I thinkwe should all joinhim in collect-
ing ideas for improving our schools,based on our own insights of association.
I would like to start.When I went to school everything was
peaceful and nearly no incident of vio-lence was reported.
We had many children kissing eachother with joy and it was very accepted.I would suggest to encourage our chil-dren to kiss each other more, especiallyin schools, and we will all benefit fromit!Michael Schomaker

Driven to achieve goalsLIAM MOSES
The dusty streets of Cape Town’s infor-mal settlements and townships havelong provided football with some its
greatest players.If you possess enough talent and determi-
nation, and manage to avoid the pitfalls ofdrugs and gangsterism, football can provideyouth with a better life.However, for most youngsters the sport is
little more than a hobby or a pastime theirparents hope will keep them away from so-cial ills.But since 2003, a Schaapkraal-based organ-
isation has been using the sport to help thecity’s poor, homeless and troubled to bettertheir lives without handing them profession-al contracts.Each year, South African Homeless Street
Soccer and registered NGO Oasis, gives agroup of people the chance to travel to andtake part in the Homeless World Cup.Clifford Marthinus, Oasis founder, says
the point of competing in the tournament isnot to simply give the players the chance totravel to a foreign country, but to openpartic-ipants’ minds to their full potential.“What we hope is that people can realise
that these opportunities are possible forthem. They might live in an informal settle-ment, but they can also better their lives. It’sup to them to take hold of their lives,” saysMarthinus.“We can’t guarantee them that their lives
are going to change. But we can guaranteethat this will make an impact on their lives.They need to use this opportunity to find outhow to make it work and count for them.”TheHomelessWorldCup is an internation-
al organisation based in Scotland and has or-ganised the tournament of the same nameevery year since 2003.This tournament is hosted in a different
country annually and can feature up to 70teams.Last year, the tournament was hosted in
Brazil and this year it will take place inPoznan, Poland, from Saturday 10 to Sunday18 August.
In order to take part in the tournamentplayersmust go through a series of trials andprove toOasis theyare seriousabout improv-ing their lives, that theywill benefit from theprogramme and that they intend to give backto their communities.Players do not have to be homeless in the
traditional sense in order to take part in thetournament, but have to be linked to anNGOin some way.Marthinus says the point of this is to en-
sure that the players continue to receive sup-port and guidance once they return from thetournament.One of the players who will be taking part
this year is centreback Ebrahim Abrahamsfrom The Kraal, an informal settlement inBo-Kaap.“I had a friendwhowas in this programme
and went with the team to Brazil last year.He was the goalkeeper and he told us aboutthe programme,” he says“I grew up struggling so I don’t want my
child to go through life the same way I did.That’s all that I want. I just want to help allthe children who are living on streets rightnow.”Before departing for the Homeless World
Cup, Abrahams and his teammates will goaway on a two week-long camping trip totrain for the tournament and also undergocounselling.Marthinus says although many people are
successful in bettering their lives, some play-ers also fail and fall back into drug abuse orcrime.Oasis also runs Oasis FC, a football club
which is affiliated to the South Peninsula Lo-cal Football Association and has over 150players.The club has teams in every age group
fromunder-9 to under-19 and does not chargeany of the players membership fees as longas they take part in the organisation’s lifeskills programmes.Oasis also aims to start a street soccer pro-
gramme involving 20 different areas aroundCapeTown.For informationabout theHome-less World Cup contact Oasis on 0 (021) 7046815.

The People’s Team brace for play-offsLIAM MOSES
Engen Santos FC will face two season-defin-ing moments this week when they take onMpumalanga Black Aces and Chippa Unitedin the Premier Soccer League (PSL) promo-tion/relegation play-offs.The People’s Team did well to fight their
way back into contention for promotion af-ter a disastrous start in the National FirstDivision (NFD).But their hard work could all be in vain
if they fail to beat Aces and Chippa in thetwohomegames onThursday 20 andSunday23 June.Head coach Ian Palmer admits both
matches will be crucial, but says a loss willnot be the death of his side’s promotion
hopes.“I don’t think this game is do or die, be-
cause we still have to play Chippa soon afterthat. If we lose it won’t be good and it willbe huge setback,” he says.“But we are thinking about that. We are
going full-out to get one over Aces and putus in thedriving seat.Aces are in thedrivingseat, because they are the only team with awin. The playing field will be levelled as wewill be at home.”Santos had an undesirable start to the
play-offs last month when their first match,away to Chippa, finished in a goalless draw.Chippa went on to lose 1-0 to Aces in the
second play-off match.The Mpumalanga side now top the stand-
ings aheadof their clash against Santos,whohave not hadmuch success againstAces thisseason.But Palmerwill hope recent form and past
results are not an indicator of what Thurs-day’s result will be.The People’s Team drew 0-0 against Aces
in their last encounter in Mpumalanga inApril, while Aces beat Santos 1-0 at AthloneStadium in the season opener last October.Palmer says the fixtures has not been kind
to his side, but he is confident his troopswillrecover before their Cape derby against
Philippi’s Chippa.“Aces are blessed because all their games
are spaced widely. After the match againstis, they have six days before they play again.The draw actually favours them,” saysPalmer.“Chippa also play us and then have to go
to Aces three days later. It’s about howquickly you recover.We have the Sports Sci-ence Institute of South Africa on our side tohelp us regenerate for the next game.”Santos’ fixture against Aces will kick-off
at Cape Town Stadium at 19:30 on Thursday20 June.Chippa United will host Aces on Wednes-
day 26 June and the final fixture of the play-offs will see Santos travel to Mpumalanga toface Aces on Saturday 29 June.
Tight encounter in derbyLIAM MOSES
Division One stragglers HamediehsRFC pulled of a surprise, against-the-odds victory over rivals Violets at
Chucker Road in Lansdowne on Saturday.Violets and Hamediehs went into the
game in second last and first on the tablerespectively, but the gulf in formandquali-ty had little effect on the result.Despite receiving five yellow cards, con-
ceding the only try and coming in a distantsecond in the possession stakes, Hame-diehs won 15-11.Head coach Zain Daniels was surprised
at the victory. “The first half performance
was solid, but we should have lost it in thesecondhalf.Wemade toomany elementaryerrors,” says Daniels.“If they hadwon, Iwouldn’t have felt bad
as we made so many mistakes – our ill-dis-cipline cost us. The first-round match wasclose as well; we should have won that oneat the death.When old rivals play each oth-er, it is always tight.”Daniels describes his team’s lack of ap-
preciation for the rule book was “patheticand poor”.“I don’t blame the referee. It was clearly
our fault. Wewere lucky as one of our guysshould have been red carded. At half-timeI asked them to be more disciplined, as ill-
discipline would cost us the game.”The numerical disadvantage and high
error count meant that Hamediehs spentmost of the game defending, but Daniels’team should be credited for putting theirbodies on the line to guard every centime-tre of the sodden Chukker Road turf.The away side were determined to play
their rugby in the opposition half and theyheaped pressure onViolets throughout thegame, with well-placed tactical kicks.Although Hamediehs attempted to run
the ball when in possession in the opposi-tion half, their success was a direct resultof staunch, smash-mouth defence thatforced the opposition to make errors.
Hamediehs flyhalf Abdul Raqieb Burdi-en kicked five penalties for his side’s 15points, while his opposite number, DenverScheepers, scored two penalties and propSaleigh Schroeder visited behind the try-line for Violets.The loss is Violets’ third in ten games
this season and will cut down their lead atthe top of the table. The Lansdowne clubwill look to get their title charge back ontrack on Saturday 22 June, when Strand’sRaithby Universals visits Chukker Road.Hamediehs, who have now won three
and lost seven matches, will hope to keeptheir late-season revival going against La-gunya away from home.
