THE Drakenstein Medium B Prison recently hosted a Sport Against Crime rugby and soccer tournament. Soccer and rugby teams from all Western Cape juvenile institutions together with four community teams from Elsies River participated in the event. The tournament was organised by the community project of Elsies River and sponsored by the Department of Community Safety and Security. The purpose of the event was to send a message to the youth, outside and inside prisons, that crime doesn't pay. MP Mnyamezeli Booi (member of the Correctional Services Portfolio Committee) addressed the spectators and appealed to the community to assist DCS in the integration of prisoners when they leave prison. He urged the inmates to use the opportunities presented to them by his department to become law-abiding citizens. According to the project facilitator,William Sampie of Elsies River, the tournament was to show prisoners that by choosing sport instead of crime, they will be contributing to making South Africa a better country. |

THE Friends of Bain's Kloof plan to tackle alien plants on the route this weekend, weather permitting. Be sure to bring food and drink for the day and make sure the clothes you wear are old and your shoes tough. Gloves would be a good idea too. If you have hatchets, loppers and small bowsaws bring them along. The group meets Saturday at Eerste Tol (Bain's Kloof Village) at about 09:30 to work for a few hours followed by a bit of socialising. Members will also be brought up to date on what they have so far achieved and plans for the future. To confirm, phone Johan Visser on 873-2739 of 082-822-5271. |

KOOL, spinasie, prei en beet - hope gesonde groente laat nou die sente inrol vir 'n groep vroue van Fairyland en Mbekweni. Raadslid Emma Classen is nie min trots op hierdie breinkind van haar wat nou sy eerste vrugte afwerp nie. Ná lang onderhandelinge het die groep vroue 'n stuk grond van Allandale Korrektiewe Dienste gekry en hier het hulle vroeër vanjaar begin groente plant. Agttien vroue is by die projek, wat bekend staan as "Let us grow women", ingeskakel. Onderburgemeester Anthea Sheldon, wat aan die hoof staan van die raad se Armoedeverligtingsprogram, het bemesting verskaf vir die projek. Nou het hulle hul eerste oes gehad. Die vroue kry van die groente vir eie gebruik en die res is verkoop. Raadslid Claasen sê hulle wil in die toekoms kyk om van die groente aan bejaardes en TB-lyers te verskaf, moontlik deur 'n sopkombuis. Intussen het die vroue reeds weer kool, spinasie en prei geplant. Hulle is nou besig om bykomende grond te ploeg vir die plant van aartappels. |
