On 11 February 1990 Nelson Mandela was releasedfrom prison. In 1995, Madiba visited Rosebank, wherehe made a permanent impression in an African traditional art vendor’s heart. Since then Vrygrond residentCharles Bute has admired Madiba and used this inspiration to work on a threemonth project to create abust from mesh wiring of this international icon. Butesays: “I worked with a vision and reminded myself ofwhat type of president and person Nelson Mandela is.This piece came straight from my heart.” Bute’s neatcraftsmanship displays Madiba’s torso, as well as finelycrafted details of his eyebrows, lips, mouth and hairline. The piece will be on display in celebration of Mandela Day tomorrow (Wednesday 18 July) in Vrygrond.

Service delivery demandsLUZUKO ZINI
RESIDENTS of Phumlani Village andRiemvasmaak informal settlements saythey have been left out in the cold by ward67 councillor Shaun August.
The residents claim August has done noth-ing for them because they are still withouttoilets and electricity.
Vera April, who runs a crèche at the Phum-lani Village community hall, is angry aboutthe conditions in the area and Riemvasmaak.
“The hall I use as a crèche is not safe be-cause it has broken windows and the ceilingis leaking. The children are not safe here,”she says.
“Here in Phumlani the drains are full,there are potholes and the street lights don’t
work. InRiemvasmaak there isno electricity.It is just shacks that are surrounded by dirtbecause there is no service delivery, and ourcouncillor seems not to care.”
Shaun Scheepers, a resident who lost hisniece when she fell into an open seweragedrain in 2009, echoes April’s concerns.
“We live in a disgusting place, nobodycomes to clean here and we need toilets andworking lights. It gets dark here and by 18:00we have to be indoors,” he says.
“We also face challenges with gangstershere and the police are never here, we needto feel safe and live in better conditions.”
Secretary of South African National CivicOrganisation (Sanco) in Phumlani, Eric Bale-banye, says the lack of communication be-tween the councillor and community leadersis the main reason no progress is happening.
“We can’t get hold of him (August). Wewant him to come here and see the conditionswe live in. There have been meetings we or-ganise but he never came,” he says
He further adds that residents are at break-ing point and are tired of waiting.
“The people here are tired and want an-swers. As a result we, as Sanco, have organ-ised a march for Thursday 26 July between5th Avenue and 11th Avenue as a sign thatwe want things to change.”
However, August says that residentsshould stop pointing fingers and take theblame for their living conditions.
“The people of Phumlani and Riemvas-maak are the ones who block the drains. Theydump nappies and animal intestines insidethem,” he says.
“The land of Riemvasmaak belongs to pro-
vincial (government) and I am still waitingon the City of Cape Town to get back to meas they are trying to buy the land. Then wecan move forward and develop the land.”
August blames the residents of Riemvas-maak for not having electricity in the area.
“The people of Riemvasmaak have illegalconnections of electricity because they tapelectricity from the RDP houses in Phumlanior, even worse, they tap into the electric box-es and street lights,” he says.
August states he “can’t perform miracles”.“I can’t come to them and tell them lies be-
cause I don’t have answers to their questions.What should I do? There are many issues Ideal with, as my ward is very big and I cannotalways be in Phumlani. I am only one personand can’t be in many places at the same time,”he says.

Happy birthday,Happy birthday,Tata MadibaTata MadibaDear reader,
Tomorrow is NelsonMandela’s 94th birthdayand all of us at People’s Postwish Madiba a happy birth-day.
Once characterised byfanfare and lavish celebra-tions, this special day tookon new meaning when, fouryears ago, Madiba urgedthe world to instead per-form acts of charity on hisbirthday.
Since known as Mandela Day and rec-ognised by the United Nations, on thisday people around the world are called onto volunteer for a good cause for 67 min-utes; each minute representative of eachyear of Madiba’s life in active politics.
Of these 67 years, the anti-apartheidicon was incarcerated for 27 years. Hewas released in 1990 and played a leadingrole in effecting democratic elections in1994, becoming the country’s first blackpresident. Besides being revered globallyfor his personal sacrifices, Madiba wonhearts with his warmth, dignity, humili-ty and spirit of reconciliation.
The sacrificesmadebyMadibaandoth-ers who fought apartheid should be re-membered as a reminder of how preciousour democracy is and the opportunitiesit has brought to millions who once livedunder oppressive laws such as the GroupAreas Act, which in 1966, saw areas suchas District Six being declared a whites-only area.
Between 1968 and 1982, the more than60 000 residents of District Six were relo-cated, mostly to townships. All the hous-es were bulldozed, leaving behind onlymosques, churches and some schools;and reducing the history of a once vi-brant community to stories, photos,books, newspaper clippings and theatreproductions
Many formerly displaced District Sixresidents cannot but be nostalgic whenpaying homage to Madiba on his birth-day, and all he represents in our coun-try’s past and how it translated among or-dinary people.
For those living in communities likeDistrict Six, the realities of race laws cutclose to home.
Two schools my friends and I attendedwere literally in the thick of things dur-
ing the years of politicalunrest.
I was 10 when I first tast-ed teargas in the quad atSydney Street PrimarySchool. Our teachers sentus home, where more tear-gas and a street lined witharmed police awaited us.We could barely seethrough the acrid smokeand our tears.
High school was no dif-ferent and because ourschool, Harold Cressy
High, was situated in the city, we got spe-cial attention from the riot police whosurrounded our school. The move fromDistrict Six literally split our family; mymother, her sister and brother livedalongside one another in three attachedcottages. Along with the pain and lossapartheid inflicted, is the part that defieslogic such as my mom’s stories about herand her sisters frequenting “whites only”hair salons and other facilities becausethey “looked white”.
Before my political awakening, andthrough my childhood’s eyes, I found itamusing to see yet another half-nakedwhite man being hauled out of a house oc-cupied by light-skinned “coloured” pros-titutes, mixed race couples kissing pub-licly as they visited family in “The Dis-trict” and my family’s few white friendsdriving from Obs to our house nearly eve-ry Saturday for curry and roti.
We all have special memories of ourpast, both happy and sad. Sometimes anevent triggers these recollections, as theeve of Madiba’s birthday has for me. I re-flect on this chapter in my history withrespect and as valuable in shaping andenriching me to appreciate my present.The same respect I afford myself is whatI owe others, respect for their respectivelife journeys and acceptance of their dif-ferences.
While we are a nation united under ourdemocracy and share common patrioticinterests, we are also our own beautiful,individual selves.

Residents protest City’s inactionResidents protest City’s inactionLUZUKO ZINI
THE INFORMAL Settlement In Struggle(ISIS) organisation took to the streets ofLotus River demanding better service de-livery, on Saturday morning.
ISIS marched from the Lotus River Prima-ry School on the corner of 5th Avenue andLake Road to the subcouncil 18 office on thecorner of Buck Road and 6th Avenue to handover a memorandum.
The march began at 10am and protesterswere singing songs too as they peacefullymarched.
Lorraine Heunis, chairperson of ISIS saysthe march is the start of many if things don’tchange.
“We are here today with other organisa-tions to demand the from the city housingand electricity for our people who come fromdifferent areas,” she says.
Another organisation that joined ISIS atthe march was Housing Assembly. Thisgroup also represents people who live in in-formal settlements from the Lotus River are-as.
Housing Assembly’s Secretary Faeza Mey-er believes their rights have been violated.
“Our constitutional right of access to water
has been violated by the city because in Riem-vasmaak there are a few taps and those camelong after people were living there.
“Some of the people here come from Langaand they are also here to voice their con-cerns,” she says.
Sheadds, “As theHousingAssemblyweare
here to support this march because we alsohave the same views.”
Meyer also voiced concerns of inequalitywhen it comes to the poor and the rich.
“We as the poor are not taken seriously be-cause basic service delivery is not deliveredand yet the rich get the best services.” Meyer
says angrily.“I feel, the government should tax the rich
in order to provide for the poor.”Mzwandile Sokupa, Informal Settlement’s
Manager from City of Cape Town was presentto receive the memorandum.
“On behalf of the City I am here to receivethe memorandum and I have promised thepeople here that ISIS’s concerns will be notedand the City will respond in due time on whatwe are going to do,” she says.
Ward 65 councillor Leslie Isaacs receivedthe memorandum on behalf of subcouncil 18chairperson Monty Oliver who was notpresent.
“What I can say is that we first need to as-sist the people living in informal settlementsduring this winter. After that, plans need tobe made to better the living standard of ourpeople.”
Heunis says this is the start of manymarches to come if the City doesn’t act.
“We will continue our marches until we areanswered and we don't want words, we wantaction now,” she says.

THERE is still uncertainty over whetherthe army will be deployed to quell gangviolence flare-ups in townships.
Shootings have killed at least 23 people.Premier Helen Zille has reportedly writtento President Jacob Zuma appealing for the
army to be sent in, especially to LavenderHill and Hanover Park. But Police MinisterNathi Mthethwa has reportedly said the ar-my does not have the equipment to fightgangsterism. People’s Post readers sharedtheir opinions with Luzuko Zini and Tar-ren-Lee Habelgaarn.

Makro cashier shot in robberyLAILA MAJIET
POLICE are on the hunt for 10 suspectswanted in connection with an armedrobbery at a Makro store in Ottery.
A cashier was shot twice and woundedduring the robbery on Saturday.
A group of armed men stormed into thestore shortly after 12:00 and held-up staff.
The suspects’ cleared out nine tills in theliquor section of the shop and got away withan undisclosed amount of cash, says GrassyPark police spokesperson Warrant Office
Wynita Kleinsmith.She says a 34-year-old female cashier sus-
tained flesh wounds and was treated andstabilised by paramedics at the scene.
“We have camera footage, but the sus-pects had been wearing masks when theyrobbed the shop. Two suspects robbed a se-curity guard of his firearm and walkie-talk-ie outside the store, eight more then en-tered the shop’s liquor section and openedfire,” Kleinsmith says.
She says: “No usable fingerprints werefound at the scene. The suspects fled thescene in a white Toyota Hilux bakkie.”
Makro’s operations director, Gert Louw-rens, counters this saying the suspects hadnot been wearing any sort of masks whenthey entered the store.
“The armed robbers parked in the park-ing lot likenormal customers. They enteredthe store posing as normal customers tooand then fired two shots into the air. Therobbery happened in a space of three min-utes,” Louwrens says.
“This is the second robbery to happen ata Makro store in Cape Town. Our MontagueGardens branch was also robbed lastweek.”
He says security will be beefed up follow-ing the robbery.
“The store is open for business as usual.We have discussed improving securitymeasures to ensure the safety of our cus-tomers and workers.”

Pavilion revival hopes dimLAILA MAJIET
HOPES of reviving Strandfontein Pavil-ion have been dealt a blow after provin-cial government didn’t include the locallandmark in its initial plans of a R100million development.
The overhaul includes cruises, ferry trips,shops, restaurants, nightclubs and tavernsalong the False Bay coast between Gordon’sBay and Cape Point.
Whether the Strandfontein Pavilion willbe revived as part of this development is yetto be seen as provincial minister for Fi-nance, Economic Development and Tour-ism, Alan Winde, says the exact specifics ofthe development will only be finalised onceanagreementbetweennational government,provincial government and the City of CapeTown is reached.
The Strandfontein Boating Associations’Igshaan Carstens is disgruntled that enoughemphasis is not being placed on the develop-ment of the suburb.
“We have a white elephant in our midst –the Strandfontein Pavilion – which used tobe a hive of activity. There was a snake park,restaurants and lots of activities there. Nowit is just abuilding.Moneyneeds tobe invest-ed into our community too.
“The pavilion needs to be resurrected. Westay on the same coastline as those in KalkBay and Gordon’s Bay, but there is no devel-opment happening here,” he says.
Strandfontein residents had high hopesthat their community would be a part of theearmarked project in 2010 when a staggeringR100 million had been set aside by the UrbanRenewal Project (URP) for an environmentalimpact assessment (EIA) with the aim of un-locking the development potential of theMitchell’s Plain coastline.
People’s Post reported on the development(“Harbour on cards for M’ Plain”, 10 August2010) when it was revealed that over R103mhad gone into the revitalisation of Monwabi-
si Beach, which residents felt was needed atStrandfontein Pavilion as well.
Carstens says many fishermen use Strand-fontein Beach yet the beach has no jetty.
“People come here to fish, but they can’tgo out on the water as there is no jetty. Thecommunity must get what is due to them inaccordance with what has been given to ourneighbours.”
The development aims to link Kalk Bay,Muizenberg and Gordons Bay.
Winde says the seaside development could“inject new life and generate greater re-turns” for the tourism sector.
Carstens argues that “Muizenberg and Ka-lk Bay is alive as money has already beeninjected in to those areas, but not in to [their]community”.
The Strandfontein Ratepayers’ Associa-tion chairperson Leonard Jacobs echoesCarsten’ sentiments.
“We want developments in Strandfontein.These upgrades are for tourists and not nec-essarily for the benefit and enjoyment of lo-cals. We have been side-lined way too often,”he says.
Upgrades on Monwabisi Beach have al-ready begun and when asked why there isa need for such a development, Winde said“the specified area could do with a boost toincrease tourism numbers, as it holds greatpotential”.
Carstens questions residents’ idle ap-proach to being side-lined.
“Are we going to sit by idly and let anotheropportunity to uplift ourselves out of thisdrudgery of unemployment and social stand-ing pass us by?
“We better wake up and mobilise our-selves or else we will only get the crumbs,”he says.
Winde says affected communities willhave the opportunity to engage with govern-ment regarding this project.
He says the process of engagement withcommunities will begin once the partner-ship agreement has been signed.

A little piece of HavenA little piece of HavenLUZUKO ZINI
IN a community riddled by drugs andgangsterism, comes an advice officethat offers hope and change.
Haven is a place where the communitycan go and get help with various matters.
Last week, this organisation had a re-launch and opened its new office at theold Lotus River High building on the cor-ner of Edward Avenue and Hector Ave-nue in Ottery.
For six years, the Haven operated froman office at the Bruce Road Civic Centre,but had to move because the premises isnow used for sports and recreation pur-poses.
According to vice chairperson of theorganisation Lucille De Monk, they hadto operate from her house for more thana year.
“After we had to move, we had no placeto work from and had to use my houseas an office but that did not work,” shesays.
Haven chairperson Adrian Williamssays the organisation’s main goal is toserve the community.
“We welcome everyone, as our job willbe to serve the community with regardsto issues of crime, substance abuse andoffering support where needed,” shesays.
De Monk claims the organisation hasserved and assisted more than 7 000 overpeople from different areas over the pastsix years. “We had plenty of success be-
cause we were helping the communitywith different issues; we even had pas-tors at our office offering advice to peo-ple.”
The community also lauds Haven fortheir fresh way of dealing with their is-sues.
Dephney Smith a community member
who works at Ottery Daycare says: “Weare thankful to Haven for opening theirdoors, because now we will have at leastone place of safety to turn to. “Our chil-dren need role models and the peoplewho put Haven together are exactlythat,” Smith comments.
Proportional representative council-
lorMajidieAbrahams says: “It’s great in-itiatives like these that change people’smindsets about our communities and Ifully support Haven, and I am willing tooffer my services where needed.”
Haven will operate Mondays to Fri-days from 09:00 until 17:00. To reach Ha-ven call Adrian Williams on 074 031 8872.

Trust is nonexistentLUZUKO ZINI
A LACK of trust in the police has the com-munity of Lavender Hill crying out for thearmy’s help to stop the furore of gang vio-lence.
Steenberg Community Policing Forum(CPF) chairperson Kevin Southgate tells Peo-ple’s Post the community has lost trust in thepolice.
“The reason people want the army to inter-vene is because they have lost trust in the po-lice,” Southgate says. “It is a desperate pleafrom them to have peace restored in the af-
fected communities.”However, Minister of Police Nathi Mtheth-
wa feels differently. “We can’t just bring inthe army and start shooting at gangs. The ar-my has live ammunition and if they arebrought in, shootouts between them andgangs may occur. We don’t want to risk thechance of innocent people being killed,”Mthethwa commented during a visit to Lav-ender Hill on Wednesday.
But, adds Mthethwa: “The police alonecan’t do anything, they need the assistanceof the community.”
Southgate concurs, saying the police andthe community should work together.
“The police needs to do their work. Onlythenwill the community trust them,”he says.
Mthethwa also visited the home of eight-year-old Zunaid Mckenzie who was killedwhile playing outside his home in Steenbergduring an alleged gang shootout two weeks(“Wrong place at wrong time”, People’s Post,3 July).
Newly-appointed National Police Commis-sioner General Riah Phiyega, who accompa-nied Mthethwa, commented that the commu-nity must play their role in the combating ofthe senseless crimes. “The families and com-munity need to play their role by reportingcrimes, so that police can do something about
it,” she said.Southgate agrees that bettering the situa-
tion is in the hands of the community.“Different government stakeholders need
to come to the party, but we, as communityleaders, must encourage the community tostand up and help the police in any way possi-ble. The gangs should not be allowed to takeover our communities. Together with the po-lice, we need to act now.”
Mthethwa also admitted that the policeneed to step up their game.“We, as the police,will have to increase our investigative unitand visibility, so that we are able to stop thegang violence.”

Serving othersJUST 67 minutes. Each minute represents thenumber of years former SA president NelsonRolihlahla Mandela has spent in service tohis fellow man and this country. In fact, to theworld.
It has now been captured in the annals ofcontemporary history how this African iconhas steered the South African political shipfrom near disaster to a democracy.
Madiba celebrates his birthday tomorrow.In honour of this event individuals world-wide are channelling their energy to do good– for just 67 minutes.
The call is being made by ordinary people– perhaps like yourselves – to step out of yourcomfort zone and help another ordinary per-son – perhaps like your neighbour.
This is a typically African call in the spiritof ubuntu – where people become neighbour-ly, human and empathetic toward the needsof another.
The hope is that Mandela Day – adopted bythe United Nations and celebrated onMadiba’s birthday tomorrow – will spark alifelong habit to do good.
The main aim is to inspire all to take actionthat will change the world for the better,while remaining within the ethical frame-work of being in ‘service to one’s fellow hu-man’.
How you spend your free time is your busi-ness. How you spend these 67 minutes couldbe the start of building your legacy on theshoulders of another great African. All thatis needed is the will to be the change.
Happy birthday, Madiba!. Broken down, 67 minutes constitute one
hour and seven minutes. In that time, youcould watch a movie or read a book.
This newspaper wants to help readers un-derstand the man that is Mandela.
People’s Post is giving away 10 copies of theautobiography Long Walk to Freedom.
Tell us via email to [email protected] you have effected change on MandelaDay.
Cops gave me the run-aroundI CAN empathise with your readers regardingproblems at the Grassy Park police station; yourarticle “Cops’ response poor” (3 July) being acase in point.
On Thursday 28 June, I had the misfortuneof reporting damages to my cellphone and all Iwanted was a reference number to submit an in-surance claim. When I arrived at 18:00, I spoketo a constable who told me that he could not helpme as “you can’t just walk in here and ask fora reference number”.
When I asked him what exactly he meant, hetold me: “I cannot give you a reference numberas too many people are submitting fraudulentinsurance claims”.
I told the constable that I did not agree withhim, as I happened to be well versed with thelaw.
I then suggested that he should open a docketto which he arrogantly replied: “How can I opena docket? There is no suspect. I will not opena docket and I cannot help you!”. I noticed a lieu-tenant sitting at the desk assisting anothermember of the public and this officer then re-quested that I go to the standby detective forassistance.
When I could not find any detective on duty,I returned to the charge office where the sameconstable then told me that a female detectivewho was sitting in an adjacent room would as-sist me further.
It was clear to me that the constable was ina hurry to leave as the shift had just ended,and he then duly ran out of the charge office at18:20,without introducingme to the “detective.”
I then observed the female “detective” exit
from the room and, when I turned to speak toher, she ran right past me and disappeared intoanother part of the building.
This woman was aware that I was waiting tospeak to her as I had heard the constable talkingto her about me earlier. A Warrant Officer Car-ollisen then duly assisted me after I threatenedto phone General Lamoer and, within the spaceof 10 minutes, was able to provide me with areference number.
When I asked the warrant officer whether Icould speak to the female “detective”, he told methat she was not a detective but a data typist.It becameveryclear tome that the constablehaddeliberately lied to me as it was never his inten-tion to assist me.
He was more focused on leaving the stationas his shift had ended, and he need to get ridof me as quickly as possible.
I do not take kindly to being lied to, especiallyif the public servant doing so represents theMinister of Police. The irony is that while Iwas waiting for assistance, I noticed a photo offormer National Police Commissioner, GeneralBheki Cele, hanging on the wall. As far as I amaware, Cele was fired and has since been re-placed. I eventually left the charge office at 19:00with the knowledge that all is not well at theGrassy Park police station.COLIN ARENDSEFairways
YourSMSes. Regarding the neglect ofanimals. As animal loverswe speak for them to makesure they are taken care of.We recently got the SPCAand Law Enforcement in-volved to sort out someonewho disregarded the ani-mal’s rights to live a happylife. Being chained to thegate the whole day, with anempty water container is nojoke! I hope this does nothappen again! Animal loverSylviane, Ottery
. The letter “Viva Peo-ple’s Plan for our vlei” is asarcastic, almost rude rebut-tal by Philip Bam on the twoSMSes. It is uncalled for. Vi-va freedom of expression!
. Regarding your article“Should Metro and copsmerge?” I think if it is num-bers and expertise the merg-er is intended to be; the po-lice should be a seriousforce.
. It is very sad that chron-ic patients have to sit fromthe time they enter, until af-ter the staff’s third break toget their medication.
. My precious darling,Memsaab... wishing you andthe family, Ramadaan Kar-eem/Mubarak! May everyyear find you in good healthand spend many more to-gether.
Grassy Park station commander ColonelAdrian Saulse responds: He (Arendse) must re-port the incident and from there we will have aninternal investigation and the matter can be re-solved.

quired by Sascoc at theWorld Championshipslast year.
None of the eightSouth Africans whoparticipated at thechampionships wereable to secure qualifi-cation.
“The policy that wassigned by Sascoc withregards to qualifica-tions was that we need-ed to qualify at thechampionships,” saysHultzer.
“The standard wasvery high. We had allthe top athletes in theworld there and only64 places. You had tocome in the top 24 to ac-quire a spot and noneof the South Africansmade it.”
Hultzer is now com-pletely focused on thetask at hand and says
she will be aiming for gold. “Obviously one has to go for gold.There is no question, we all have that vision. But for me, justbeing there is fantastic.”
“Just to compete at your best, against the best – you comeout a winner whatever happens. The fact that I am represent-ing my country, I’m standing there with the South Africanflag next to me is awesome, absolutely awesome.”
Hultzer and the 34 other Western Cape-based athletes com-peting at the Olympics were sent off by provincial ministerof Cultural Affairs and Sport, Dr Ivan Meyer at an event atAthlone Stadium on last Tuesday.

A MUIZENBERG wom-an’s long-held Olympicdream has finally be-come a reality aftermonths of uncertainty.
Karen Hultzer, qualifiedfor the London Games bymeeting the South AfricanSport Confederation andOlympic Committee’s (Sas-coc) requirements at theArchery World Champion-ships in Italy last year andthen secured her spot byfinishing third at the at theAfrican Archery Champi-onships in Morocco inMarch.
However, she was forcedto wait until June to findout whether Sascoc wouldallow her to join teamSouth Africa at the games.
The 46-year-old says com-peting at the Olympics willbe the realisation of a dream that she has had since childhood.
“It is a fairytale really. It’s quite extraordinary. You havethis dream since being a child and then it comes and goesthrough your whole life,” says Hultzer.
“We all want to be Olympians, but we can’t all make it. It’squite unbelievable. I’m there – the dream was there and nowit’s a reality.”
Hultzer came close to missing out on selection for Londonbecause she earned her Olympic qualification spot at an Afri-can tournament instead of an international tournament.
But she was eventually allowed to join the squad becauseshe had achieved the “minimum qualification score” re-

LIAM MOSES
THE Western Cape rugby fraternity has ex-pressed its shock and sadness at the passingof a man described as a stalwart of CapeTown rugby.It is believed that NazeemKarriel, the secretary ofPrimrose Rugby Club, suf-fered a fatal heart attack atthe age of 63 on last Friday.Karriel had been a mem-ber of Primrose for 40years and is understood tohave a been key roleplayerin the South African Coun-cil onSport (Sacos) and thefight for unified sport dur-ing apartheid.Thelo Wakefield, actingpresident of Western Prov-ince Rugby Football Un-ion, was one of the many inthe Cape Town rugby com-munity who had a positivedealing with Karriel. Heexpressed his condolencesto Primrose and Karriel’s family.“Rugby has lost one of its greatest stalwarts.Rugby has lost a person that is hard to re-place. Everything they do (at Primrose), theyshould do in the memory of Nazeem Karriel,”said Wakefield.“On behalf of WP Rugby I would like to passon our heartfelt condolences to his wife andchildren. I can only hope that God will healtheir wounds. We will miss him as an admin-istrator.”Wakefield first met Karriel after unificationin 1992 and they remained friends until hispassing.During his career as a rugby administrator,Karriel was also involved with high schoolrugby and went on to become a member ofthe WP Schools Rugby executive committee.At one stage Karriel was also the match andregistration secretary of City and SuburbanRugby Union.Oswald Jacobs, secretary of the City Parks
Sport Board and a long-standing friend andcolleague of Karriel’s, says that he will be re-membered as “gentleman and a man with in-tegrity”.“In the old days we had the different associa-
tions, and he was stalwart instanding for the Sacos princi-ples – the non-racial princi-ples,” said Jacobs.“He was very strong that wecannot go over if people arenot treated equally.”Former Springbok, Stormersand Western Province propEddie Andrews first met Kar-riel over 15 years ago when hejoined Primrose. Andrewssaid the rugby lover instru-mental in both his rugby ca-reer and life.“I think to succeed in life youneed a support structure andwhen I arrived at the club 15years ago, Mr Karriel wasone of those people who real-ly assisted me and supportedme,” said Andrews.
“His work ethic has imparted to many andI think the key is to pick up that baton andmove forward.”Primrose was informed of their secretary’sdeath five minutes into a game againstBrackenfell on Friday night.Rifaed Sambo, who worked closely with Kar-riel as the match and registration secretaryof the club, said the club chose to continuethe game in Karriel’s memory, instead ofhaving it postponed.“When I was on my way to the field I got acall to say that they were looking for him,”said Sambo.“We decided to continue the game becausethat was what he would have wanted. We hadthe option to cancel the game, but his wifesaid that we must go on with the game.”Karriel was buried on Saturday and morethan 100 friends, family and members of therugby fraternity gathered outside of hishouse in Lansdowne to pay their respects.
