Caught in the act
NONKULULEKO MBULIFootball fever is sweeping across local schools, but pupils are reminded to be cautious during the 2010 Fifa World Cup™.
This was the message brought to Saxonwold primary school by Sergeant Bongi Mdletshe as part of Rosebank police station’s Child Protection Week campaign.
Mdletshe’s entertaining presentation met with laughter and gasps from the children who listened attentively as he gave them tips on how to protect themselves throughout the World Cup season.
He spoke to the school about child traffi cking and how to react in
threatening situations. He told them about their rights, and
encouraged them to report crime and abuse.
Pupils were instructed to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings, to refrain from taking gifts from strangers, were warned against going to malls without adult supervision, and advised to wear armbands containing essential personal information – at all times.
“It’s my duty to ensure that children in Rosebank are safe. It’s important that, after the World Cup, each and every one of you is back at school,” said Mdletshe.
A teddy bear dressed in a police
uniform was presented to the school on behalf of the Mall of Rosebank.
The school was also given a safety pledge as a reminder of its commitment to the safety of its children.
Soccer balls will be handed over to the school on the pupils’ safe return from their mid-year break.
The morning ended with a diski dance and the children’s rendition of the song Shosholoza.
Other schools visited by the Rosebank police this week included Rosebank primary, Pridwin preparatory, St Vincent, Vuleka and Forest Town.

“There were 11 cases of assault common, eight of assault with intent to cause
grievous bodily harm and 35 incidents of drunk driving. A suspect wanted in over 100 shoplifting cases was arrested, and three were caught using the Morpho touch machine.
“Two people were arrested in contravention of the copyright act and 150 illegal DVDs were seized,” said Hillbrow police spokesman Inspector Kriban Naidoo.

NONKULULEKO MBULIThe Melrose Ratepayers Association (MRA) annual general meeting at the Melrose Bowling Club was dominated by town-planning concerns - property development, vacant buildings, traffi c fl ow and the state of roads in the area.
Attended by residents of Melrose and Melrose Estate, MRA committee members and Ward 74 councillor Ray Wolder, the aim of the meeting was to refl ect on the previous year and discuss pertinent issues.
Since the partial closure of Oxford Road for Gautrain construction, much high-speed foreign traffi c had been directed into the residential area. The association put together a cost-effective traffi c plan and began discussions with the Johannesburg
Roads Agency. The proposal included raised traffi c circles, four-way stops at roads like Jellicoe Avenue and St Andrews Road, and the continued closure of Oxford Road.
“People continue to want to patronise Melrose as it is a high quality area. These are our issues and if we think someone else is going to come and fi x them we’re mistaken,” said MRA chairman Lewis Neuburger.
Other developments included the area’s new website, which facilitated community discussion, advertised business and recreational activities, raised important issues and hosted opinion polls.

Heartbeat of Melrose
What a wonderful place Mzanzi could be if the country was to host the Fifa World Cup™ every four years.
Three or so out of every fi ve cars on the road sport South African colours or those of other participating nations. And once or twice there is a World Cup offi cial anthem blaring through half-open car windows.
The likes of Kaka, Wayne Rooney and other global football stars are sharing our loathed potholed streets and at the moment we love our roads just fi ne as they are.
Several major streets have been upgraded and street lights that have been on the blink for years are suddenly bright at night.
Gautrain, the multi-billion rand rapid rail link, has been miraculously fast-tracked and, by the time you read this, will have already ferried a few hundred passengers between OR Tambo International Airport and Sandton.
The highways, shopping malls and other buildings have been
impressively redecorated to accommodate national fl ags. Even the Rosebank Killarney Gazetteoffi ces in Craighall sport South African colours plus possibly the best World Cup mural in town.
And raise your hand if you don’t just love those roadsiders selling everything from fl ags and mirror socks to stickers, who will stop at nothing to ensure you drive off with at least one item in the colours of your team.
Now sit back and imagine what it would do for nation-building if the scenes of the past fi ve months could recur every four years.
Football fever has the country in its grips indeed. Here’s to hoping that we will all make the most of it and enjoy the experience; after all, it may be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
And to Fifa president Sepp Blatter, may you please break the rules, negotiate with the Brazilian football federation and allow South Africa to defend the World Cup trophy in 2014 on home soil?
Feel it; it is here

Thumbs up for CupLet the games really begin... Jerome Valcke and Danny Jordaan
NIE CELETaxi associations operating from three major taxi ranks in the inner city still owe the City of Joburg millions for rent.
This has been the case since 2004 when they last paid their R2 a day, per taxi, per rank rental.
A furious senior offi cial of an association at Bree Street taxi rank who spoke to the Gazette on condition of anonymity said the taxi rank was fi lthy and riddled with potholes as big as sinkholes and had the fi lthiest, most disgusting and unhygienic toilets.
“Why must we pay - no one cares about our health and cars. Where does the money go?’’ he asked.
In the past taxi operators were locked out of the rank for three weeks for defaulting on rent and later re-opened after intense negotiations.
The decision to re-open the rank came after a meeting between the Metro Trading Company (MTC), a city council entity that ran the mall, and various inner city taxi malls.
According to MTC, this taxi rank housed 3 500 taxis that operated different routes around Johannesburg and West Rand.
Nonhlanhla Makhoba, marketing and communication manager for MTC, said the last payment received from taxi associations was in 2004.
“We have discovered that taxi owners do pay but the money doesn’t reach our offi ces and, for the sake of minimising volatility surrounding the roll-out of the Bus Rapid Transit, negotiations have been delayed.’’
Makhoba also revealed that in some cases it had been diffi cult to collect the money because some associations operating in ranks run by MTC in the city centre have argued that they prefer to pay one fee for multiple ranks.
Makhoba added that by defaulting on rent ,taxi associations contributed to the current state of the rank. “We are busy refurbishing and trust they will come on board by paying rent.’’
Taxi associations owe city council millions
KEBA MOTHOAGAE“I’m confi dent that we have created history.”
So said Irvin Khoza, chairman of the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ Local Organising Committee, after the committee’s fi nal meeting ahead of the tournament’s kick-off on 11 June.
Addressing various members of the world media in Sandton following the meeting, Danny Jordaan, chief executive offi cer of the committee, said it was used to discuss issues such as the contentious Kick-Off Celebration
Concert, the opening ceremony and other operational aspects of the tournament.
The controversy surrounding the concert on 10 June at Orlando Stadium is based on complaints from various organisations and local musicians regarding the number of international artists on the concert’s billing.
“Besides that we really don’t have much to do anymore, which, ironically, is a strange feeling,” quipped Fifa secretary-general, Jerome Valcke.
When probed about the supposed
terrorist threat to the tournament, Valcke said he had faith in the security and intelligence agencies tasked with ensuring a safe World Cup. “I wouldn’t want to have bad intentions regarding the extraordinary US-England clash. The security there will be watertight!”
The committee is set to hold a fi nal meeting after the World Cup where the bidding countries for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments will have an opportunity to table their proposals.

Lizelle SMSed: With sadness I read Kate Henry will be leaving the Gazette. I’ll miss you but know that you’ll make a success of all you set your hand to in the future.
Dave SMSed: The squatter camp-style fence around the entrance of the old petrol station off the corner of Roscommon Road and Tyrone Avenue, Parkview is not only an eyesore, people park next to it forcing you to walk in the Road.
One day, mark my words, there will be a nasty incident there - injuries or possible death. I will run this past Metro police.
You said it...
Louisa Sheppard of Parkwood writes:The letter, Circle a mistake, (week ending 4 June) refers.
I lived near the corner of Dorset and Denbigh roads for 15 years. I totally agree that the blind spot on Dorset/Denbigh has always been dangerous, as well as the one on the corner of Denbigh/Cardigan roads. I now live close to the corner of Dorset/Chester roads so am also well acquainted with the circle.
I can tell you that Chester Road used to be used as a racing
track by motorists, in spite of the ‘go slow’ warning painted on the road!
Also it was virtually impossible to turn into Chester Road from Dorset Road or cross the road at peak times.
The way to solve this problem is not to remove the circle, which is doing an excellent job in calming the traffi c along Chester Road and also allowing traffi c along Dorset to safely cross/turn into Chester. The problem is not with the circle – it is serving its purpose well.
The practical and simple way to solve the problem - which is Dorset Road, is to place speed bumps in Dorset, with a really big one just before the blind spot, as well as in 4th Avenue.
The speed bumps should be big enough to slow down even an SUV. This will force traffi c short-cutting along Dorset to use Cardigan Road. With fewer cars using Dorset Road, the Chester Road traffi c will also fl ow more smoothly.
So please do not remove the circle.
Please don’t remove the circle
Greenside snail writes:I totally agree with the ‘Circle a mistake’ letter (week ending 4 June) about the traffi c circle at Chester/Dorset roads.
I appreciate it was built to commemorate a death caused by speeding at that intersection - but the delays, frustration and near misses I witness and experience twice daily, prove that snail pace isn’t the answer either.
The writer is correct that just this one circle creates morning rush hour queues back to Roosevelt Park - even Victory Park sometimes. And from 5pm, Chester Road can be backed up as far as Rosebank!
It often takes more than 30 minutes just to get from Jan Smuts Avenue to that circle (all the time dodging cars that insist on getting two cars ahead by driving in the right turning lane then cutting in.)
Then it takes another 10 or 15 minutes or more to get through the T-junction. After that, it’s a clear run.
So yes, I’m very sorry that a young woman died there - but does it truly warrant delaying hundreds and hundreds of cars twice a day or forcing them onto other residential routes? It just means she’s being remembered for the wrong reasons!
Snail’s pace is not the answer
B Lee of Parkhurst writes:Court battle not over (Gazette,week ending 4 June) refers.
Just asking, how much time and money is the Parkhurst Village Residents Association prepared to waste on the restaurant matter? After the Supreme Court, what next?
I note the committee is working on behalf of the residents but as a Parkhurst resident of 33 years I haven’t sanctioned its action, nor has any other resident I have spoken to, so where did its mandate come from?
What happens when and if Dendy and associates lose (which I am inclined to
think theywill) - where will the money come from to pay the horrendously high legal fees?
I have absolutely no axe to grind and will not be throwing my bonnet over the windmill at the prospect of yet another restaurant, but fair is fair.
When Michael Capela bought this property some four or fi ve years ago historic rights came with it. City council has fi rmly stated that the Regional Spacial Development Framework does not supersede these rights, so why the legal action?
When this matter was brought up at our residents association’s annual general meeting the
response of Dendy and company was extremely aggressive and they vowed to stop this business getting off the ground at any cost.
One hopes this has not deteriorated into a nasty personal vendetta. Capela has worked for this community and been part of it for many years.
If Dendy and company want to vent their anger at something or someone what about getting the Joburg Property Company to get to work on leasing out the bowling club and football grounds?
These are situated on the main arterial road leading into Parkhurst and a real eyesore.
Why the lawsuit?

NONKULULEKO MBULIWhen Parkhurst resident Nan Lutz was told she would be hosting Australia’s biggest soccer fan, she imagined she would be fetching a ‘teeny-bopper groupie’ from the airport.
To her surprise, it was 73-year-old Heather Kayataz, the Socceroos’ number one supporter.
Kayataz has attended no less than fi ve World Cups and makes a personal appearance at all games played by the Australian team, missing only the match that coincided with her husband’s death.
She was watching the live game at home when the commentator gave her a special mention on national television.
Kayataz has followed the Socceroos across the world – including Germany, France, Japan, Korea, Dubai and China.
“Sadly soccer isn’t Australia’s number one sport – but it’s my passion. It’s a special sport and the culture among the fans is special.
“Wherever the Socceroos play, we go!” said the effervescent septuagenarian, who is confi dent that
at least 11 000 Australian supporters will land on our shores for the 2010 Fifa World Cup™.
And now it seems that Kayataz has also fallen in love with Parkhurst. When she is not attending the Australian squad’s practice games she spends her time shopping, taking walks and dining at restaurants in the area.
“If the rest of South Africa is as great as Parkhurst, I wouldn’t mind moving here – it’s magnifi cent,” said Kayataz.
Heather Kayataz fl anked by her host Nan Lutz and her domestic worker Lesiah Nzima.
Blimey, what a fan
There’s something stirring about brightly coloured fl ags fl uttering against the crisp blue sky. Something that inspires patriotism and excitement.
With just days to kick-off, Joburg is buzzing, with hardly a vehicle on the road not sporting one or more fl ags. Companies and homeowners are pinning their colours to their respective masts.
Everyone is getting into the football spirit. Oh wait, not quite everyone.
Durban’s CBD has colourful lights, Bloemfontein has vuvuzela shaped streetlights but I have yet to see anything similar in Joburg. The road to the airport looks fantastic, but that’s in Ekurhuleni. Where has our city council been?
Some might argue it has chosen rather to prioritise things like cleaning and beautifying major routes. Decorations would be a waste of money. Maybe, but then what do you call a R90 million beauty pageant?
Some fl ags or posters along our main roads would cost
very little and generate much pride.
And it would be a great opportunity to sell eGoli. Ordinarily, most tourists only pass through here via the airport on their way to more ‘exotic’ coastal destinations like the Cape.
But as the only host city with two soccer stadiums, Joburg will see spectators descending in unprecedented numbers.
And they won’t just be here to watch football. They’ll want to see the sights, eat the food and meet the people. A captive audience – what a chance to show the world that this is not just a gateway to everywhere else, but a historical, vibrant, spectacular destination in its own right.
But as councillor Marcelle Ravid pointed out in a recent letter, Joburg Tourism Company has missed its opportunity to market this city to both tourists and residents - probably because the budget ran out. We’ll just have to fl y the fl ag ourselves.
Everybody’s doing it… well almost everybody

NATASHA BEZUIDENHOUTAn Illovo businessman has shown his 100 percent support for Bafana Bafana in the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ by painting his building, trucks and Mercedes-Benz in the South African colours.
Stan Shane has also secured tickets for the opening match between South Africa and Mexico at Soccer City on 11 June. And he told the Gazette Bafana Bafana must win the match.
“As South Africans we need to show our support for our country.”
The idea to paint the 3 000m² building in Rivonia Road took shape after a friend of his son painted his car in the South African colours.
“After seeing the car I talked to friends and joked that I would paint the business trucks as well.
“Since I also wanted to upgrade the building and needed to paint it I thought why not the South African
colours?”It took a week to have the
building’s walls painted. Workmen were painting pillars and lines in the parking area when the Gazettevisited him.
“I have also named the building The Flagship and won’t be repainting it after the World Cup. A lot of curious motorists have stopped to admire the handiwork,” he added.

GAZETTE REPORTERA new partnership between the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) and The Diamond Route, linking the conservation properties of De Beers and the Oppenheimer family, will enrich the education of aspiring conservationists.
Strilli Oppenheimer and EWT chief executive offi cer Yolan Friedmann signed an agreement at Parktown’s Brenthurst Gardens to make a section of Telperion Reserve, a Diamond Route site, available to the EWT’s Conservation Leadership Programme. The programme facilitates experiential learning for tertiary students studying nature conservation diplomas, thus providing the required practical experience.
It aims to inspire environmental awareness and responsibility, and equip conservationists through mentorship and training programmes.
The partnership hopes to
achieve this by promoting conservation through community-based education and upliftment.
It will give environmental education to pupils, students, teachers, communities and unemployed youth. The initiative will also train and mentor at least 20 selected students, who will learn to create awareness of the importance of biodiversity, and encourage participation within their communities.
This will develop community-based management and sustainable utilisation of natural resources. Communities and the environment will become mutually benefi cial.
Oppenheimer said, “We are delighted to contribute to empowering our future leaders in conservation. The property has an exceptionally high animal diversity and, as a result of being in the Bankenveld, the students will be introduced to interesting plant communities.”
Boost for aspiring conservationists

KEBA MOTHOAGAEThousands of people descended on Parktown for the Deutsche International Schule’s annual schulbasar.
The fair, which has been running since 1880, provided an expose of German culture to keen Joburgers of all ages, with the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ providing a soccer theme to the event.
With a strong presence from the South African German community, the crowd was treated to fun activities, including horse riding, jumping castles, foofy slides, go-karts and bungee jumping.
Revellers could also boogie the day away in a disco or attend the beerfest, where the best German brew was available.
The school’s pupils also had
the opportunity to get the better of their teachers in the dunking competition, which proved to be the major drawcard of the day
Erich Schreiner, the school’s principal, said, “As much as this is an income generator for the school, we would also like South Africans to experience what Germany is all about.”
Thrills galore

ABED AHMEDRead for Africa has teamed up with consulting fi rm Knowledge Quest and the government’s Sector Education and Training Authority (Seta) to give cerebral palsied adults an opportunity to establish their business skills.
An all expenses paid one-year course will be conducted at different centres throughout the city including Forest Farm in Sandton.
Students who complete the course will have basic business and fi nancial knowledge to allow them access into a business environment.
The entire project is funded by Seta with Knowledge Quest and Read for Africa providing the necessary training.
“Our objective is to allow disabled people the opportunity to land full-time jobs or start their own
businesses,” said Jenny Taylor, director of Read for Africa.
Another objective is to remove stereotyping associated with disabled people.
“We have to understand that anyone can become disabled at any time but doors of opportunity cannot be shut for these people,” said Lucy Taylor from Read for Africa.
The course runs for a year and teaches fundamental business, mathematical, entrepreneurial, and computer skills.
“We are proud to be investors in this initiative and have started a website portal where, among other things, vacancies will be advertised to give everybody an equal opportunity,” said Refi lwe Malope of Seta.
Linda Meyer of Knowledge Quest and Jenny Taylor of Read for Africa stand with students Gary Bosch, Abdine Kaldine, Kabelo Myeza and Refi lwe Malope of Seta.

AYANDA BUTHELEZIOmphemetse Keepile has become a hero after she won R100 000 for naming a 1.95 million-year-old hominid that was discovered in the Cradle of Humankind.
The winning entry from the 17-year-old pupil at St Mary’s school in Waverley was selected from more than 15 000 submissions in a naming competition sponsored by Standard Bank and Palaeontological Scientifi c (Past) in association with Wits University and the Department of Science and Technology.
Competition rules stipulated that the fossil’s name had to be no longer than 15 letters and could be any South African language. Pupils had to submit a motivation on why the species was given such name.
She was one of two pupils from St Mary’s who made it to the fi nals.
Karabo, ‘answer’ in Setswana, is the name Keepile gave to the skeleton.
“I chose the name because I believe the discovery will provide solutions to solving clues in research. It will also inform about the evolution of human species,” said Keepile.
The winning entry scooped her R75 000 towards her education and R25 000 for her school to be used for science education, and a replica model of the child hominid fossil.
About her win, Keepile said, “I sometimes amaze myself. If you believe in something go for it because the results will be amazing.”
This Grade 12 pupil is not sure of her specifi c career choice yet but is adamant she’ll be studying B-Com at Wits University next year.
Karabo wins pupil R100 000
Fossil ‘Karabo’ facts: Karabo was discovered in
the Cradle of Humankind by nine-year-old Matthew Berger.
The juvenile skeleton, whose scientifi c name is Australopithecus sediba, would have been between nine and 13 years old when
he died at the Malapa site some 1.95 million years ago.
He was found in the same cave as that of another female adult skeleton discovered by Berger’s father, Professor Lee Berger from Wits.
Omphemetse Keepile named the hominid Karabo.
KEBA MOTHOAGAEIf you see what appears to be a solar car whiz past you, know that your eyes aren’t fooling you.
Six Grade 10 pupils from the Deutsche Internationale Schule (DSJ) are assembling a solar car to compete in the South African Solar Challenge later this year, and had the opportunity to show off their creation at this year’s DSJ schulbasar.
The SA Solar Car Challenge is a bi-annual event that includes a mixture of local and international teams competing in various classes for prizes, prestige and experience.
This year’s event takes place between 26 September and 6 October, with the vehicles racing on a 4250km route that
begins in Johannesburg and progresses through to Cape Town and then Durban before it ends in Pretoria.
Team captain, Christopher Pallamar, said, “Besides participating in such an exciting event, we would like to establish the DSJ as one of the leading science and technology schools around.”
Pallamar added that any sponsorship towards the solar car’s participation in the solar challenge would be appreciated.
Members of the public can also provide a name for the vehicle, with the moniker deemed the most fl ambouyant the winner.

LEONA DIBAKOANEThrough the universal language of song, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) Women’s Choir celebrated its silver jubilee.
At the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square in Sandton, it was joined by the Sandton and Wits choirs to celebrate its achievements thus far.
“We also celebrate the loyalty of some of our members who have been part of this choir since it’s birth and have seen it grow successfully,” said JNF choir’s chairman Crystal Kaplan.
The choir has a varied range of music that refl ects the cultural heritage of the South African Jewish community.
It also raises funds for organisations such as People Opposing Women Abuse (Powa), Our Parents Home, the Welkom Jewish community, the Flower Foundation and environmental developments.
JNF music director, Duncan Hyam said, “All proceeds from shows go towards our environmental projects throughout
South Africa. We have also planted over 2 000 trees in Israel.”
The Wits Choir gave an electrifying performance that left the audience shouting for more.
The JNF Women’s Choir dedicated a Zulu song to the 2010 Fifa World Cup™, with Hyam concluding the show by blowing a vuvuzela.
“It was a wonderful concert. We thoroughly enjoyed it and sang along to some of the songs we knew,” said Carla Eichel.

ROSEBANK KILLARNEY GAZETTE Week ending June 11, 2010 • 21
22 • Week ending 11 June 2010 • ROSEBANK KILLARNEY GAZETTE SPORT
AMANDA WATSONCoach Carlos Alberto Parreira is wearing his serious face again.
At the 3 June team practice, at the Wits University Bidvest Stadium Parreira put the team through a hard workout.
It was also the fi rst time the fi nal team of 23 players practised together.
Although the practice was hard this close to the World Cup, players were careful not to injure themselves.
Potentially crunching tackles were jumped over or else players turned aside at the last second from bone crunching collisions.
With shadows lengthening earlier and a rapid drop in temperature, the team was lead through an extensive warm-up before getting into Parreira’s fast
paced drills. The chilly evening
notwithstanding, players were soon sweating under the coach’s move, move, move commands, not allowing them to stand around or walk.
With Bafana Bafana’s 5-0 thumping of Guatemala, and subsequent new Fifa ranking of 83, international media interest in the team has sparked, with camera crews lining the pitch.
Nonetheless, the team and coach did not allow themselves to be distracted, with Parreira having an almost instinctual ability to keep his back to the camera.
With three days to kick-off in the World Cup, the team is as focused and as ready as it is ever going to be for its opening match against Mexico.
The fi nal team is:Goalies: 16 Itumeleng Khune (22
years old); 22 Moeneeb Josephs (30); Shu-Aib Walters (29).
Defenders: 2 Siboniso Gaxa (26); 3 Tshepo Masilela (25); 4 Aaron Mokoena(c) (29); 5 Lucas Thwala (28); 14 Matthew Booth (33); 19 Anele Ngcongca (22); 20 Bongani Khumalo (23); 21 Siyabonga Sangweni (28).
Midfi elders: 6 MacBeth Sibaya (32); 7 Lance Davids (25); 8 Siphiwe Tshabalala (25); 10 Steven Pienaar (28); 11 Teko Modise (27); 12 Reneilwe Letsholonyane (27); 13 Kagisho Dikgacoi (25); 17 Surprise Moriri (30); 23 Thanduyise Khuboni (24).
Forwards: 9 Katlego Mphela (25); 15 Bernard Parker (24); 18 Siyabonga Nomvethe (32).

“The Singapore Youth Olympics

Chef de Mission or custodian of the South African squad Dave Carr said he was adamant they would not disappoint their country.
“On this level, besides winning medals which we will, we have to allow these youngsters to integrate on a cultural and social level which will give them the respect they need to make an impact on the Olympic Games,” said Carr.

NIE CELEThe 2010 Fifa World Cup™ kick off is bringing euphoria to soccer lovers, fans and enthusiastic schoolchildren.
More than 1000 South African children between the ages of six and 10 are lining up to enjoy this enormous global event as they get a chance to walk the tunnel onto the pitch with their heroes, thanks to McDonald’s Player Escort programme.
This exclusive programme will soon make dreams come true for some children recruited via the Player Escorts in-store promotions.
Six-year-old, Rorisang Baloyi of Berea, a Grade 1 pupil at Parktown public school is one of the lucky escorts who will walk down the tunnel with the international players at Soccer City stadium when Spain locks horns with Honduras.
This young Bafana Bafana supporter, who said he wanted to be a doctor when he grew up, will be at the stadium for the fi rst time. He said this was the best thing to have happened to him.
The fact that he will be watching a World Cup match is another bonus as most of his peers have never had an opportunity to go to a stadium let alone watch a soccer match live.
Nine-year-old Kagiso Mashaba, a Grade 4 pupil at St Peter’s Claver’s school who plays soccer in the township streets and is an avid Bafana Bafana supporter, could not hide his excitement about walking the tunnel for the Argentina vs South Korea game.
Mashaba aspired to being a lawyer but before that he would like to play for Bafana Bafana.
Rorisang Baloyi, a pupil at Parktown public school, will be a player escort.

Fancy footworkHEATHER WALKERWanderers badminton club showcased the speed and agility of its top players at an exhibition tournament.
In the mixed doubles game Linda Hampton and 15-year-old Prakash Nath, one of the country’s junior champions who participated in the world junior championship in
Mexico last month, went up against Sarah Rice and Steven Skinner.
It was a close battle between evenly matched teams, but Hampton and Nath eventually won by two points.
The shuttlecock (also known as the bird) used in badminton is a conical feathered projectile with a cork base.
“The feathers create high drag, which causes the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball, although badminton serves are often faster than those in tennis,” explained the club’s communications offi cer Darryll Robinson.
“Badminton is a great team sport that people of all ages can enjoy on
a social or competitive level. We have veterans and masters who can give the youngsters a good run for their money! Southern Gauteng’s teams take part in tournaments all over the country and, depending on your ambition, there are also international events in which to take part. Badminton really has it all – fi tness, camaraderie and
competition.“Our club is looking for more
players to join one of the most popular sports on the planet. We play social games on Tuesday evenings and matches on Wednesday evenings,” Robinson added.
Details: Darryll 072-181-2890.- [email protected]
