As runners and walkers traverse theroute of this year’s Slave Route Chal-

lenge, many will trace the footsteps of theirancestors and former slaves.

This year’s Slave Route Challenge, ofwhich People’s Post is a media sponsor, willsee participants giving honour to individu-al slaves of the Cape’s past.

Each runner will carry one of the 8000names of slaves who appear on a “columnof memory” at the Iziko Slave Lodge in thecity centre (“Slave names give runnerswings”, People’s Post, 15 March) during therace on Sunday 8 May.

The race route takes runners past severalhistorically significant landmarks, such asthe Castle of Good Hope, Grand Parade, theWhipping Post, Old Slave Church, the SlaveTree Plaque and the Iziko Slave Lodge.

Life as a slaveMooi Angela from Bengal, also known as

Ansla van Bengalen, was brought to theCape before the large-sale importation ofslaves and before the Slave Lodge was evenbuilt.

She was brought to the Cape by a DutchEast Indian official, Pieter Kemp, whobought her when stationed in the BatavianRepublic.

Returning from the Netherlands hebrought Angela with him and sold her inCape Town to Jan van Riebeeck in 1655. Hein turn sold her to Abraham Gabbema, theSecond-in-Command at the Cape, recountsAngela’s descendent, Lucy Centlivres.

“A very special day in Angela’s life was13 April 1666 when she was granted her in-

dependence,” Centlivres says.Angela petitioned the Governor to grant

her a piece of land where she started grow-ing fruit and vegetables which she sold topassing ships.She was granted a plot inwhat is now Castle Street, and would havetraversed many of the streets along whichthe Slave Route Challenge passes.

She became a successful farmer andhelped her sons on their farms in the Drak-enstein area. “By the time she died she wasvery well off and her daughter, Anna deKoning, married to Olof Bergh, was therichest woman at the Cape. We could callher the first women entrepreneur at theCape,” says Centlivres.

Remembering ancestorsAlthough uncertain who Angela married

first, in 1669 she married Arnoldus Wil-lemsz Basson, the founding father of all theBassons in South Africa and Centlivres’forefather.

The Slave Route Challenge is a time forCentlivres to look back on her history, re-membering and honouring so many of theslaves who built the Cape colony.

“I am proud to trace my heritage back tobeautiful, courageous Angela, who didn’tallow horrendous circumstances to get herdown,” she says.

Although Centlivres is not able to run theroute herself, it warms her to think that herancestors have not been forgotten.

“If someone would run the Slave Route inhonour of Angela, I would be thrilled. Myancestors’ histories have enriched my lifeand given me a better understanding of thehistory of my country and the many colour-ful personalities in it.”V Visit www.iamrunningfor.co.za.

Call for tuk-tukoperators in CTCapetonians may soon be using

tuk-tuk vehicles to travel shortdistances within the city and sur-rounding suburbs.On Friday 15 April the City of

Cape Town issued a tender for theprovision of tuk-tuk public trans-port services, says Mayoral com-mitteemember for transport, BrettHerron.A tuk-tuk is a three-wheeled mo-

tor vehicle designed or modifiedfor transporting not more thanthree seated people, including thedriver.“Wewant to use this tender proc-

ess to appoint public transport op-erators whowill operate 80 tuk-tukvehicles across eight areas in CapeTown and the far south.“The tuk-tukvehicles are intend-

ed for thosewanting to travel shortdistances of three kilometres orless to local destinations. Peoplewho should benefit from using thetuk-tuk vehicles are those who donot necessarily want to make useof a metered taxi service, but alsodo not want to walk two or threekilometres to their destination,”he says.

Across eight areasThe eight initial areas where the

tuk-tuk vehicles will be allowed tooperate will be Fresnaye and Ban-try Bay, Sea Point, Green Point,Bo-Kaap and De Waterkant, Tam-boerskloof, Walmer Estate, Uni-versity Estate, Zonnebloem andDistrict Six, Kalk Bay, St Jamesand Fish Hoek, and Simon’s Town.

“We will make 80 operating li-cences available, but we have notdecided as yet how many tuk-tukvehicles will be allowed to operatein each area,” he says.Even though the outcome of the

tender process will determine thenumber of operators to be appoint-ed, the City will not appoint morethan eight successful bidders, Her-ron says.

CompliancePreference will be given to those

tenderers who will make use ofelectric vehicles. The tuk-tuk oper-ators will have to comply with ser-vice standards and licence condi-tions – for example, they will notbe allowed to transport commutersalong any of the MyCiTi routesduring the times that the MyCiTiservice is operational.“Ideally we would like to see the

tuk-tuk vehicles transporting com-muters to theirnearestMyCiTi sta-tion or stop from where they willbe able to board a bus to completetheir journey.“Potential tuk-tuk operators will

have to submit a business plan andin those areas where the MyCiTiservice is operating they should in-dicate how they intend to operatethe tuk-tuks in support of the My-CiTi service,” says Herron.If the tender process goes accord-

ing to plan and theCity receives re-sponsive bids, the tuk-tuk vehiclesmaybe operating as from1Septem-ber – in time for the peak summerperiod.

Skateboarder safety is set to get aboost after the installation of newsignage around the Sea Point CivicCentre.Directional signage has been in-

stalled to indicate the traffic flowsystemaswell aswarning signs formotorists about the dual use of thearea being for motor vehicles andskateboarders, says ward council-lor Jacques Weber.The signagewas installed follow-

ing a complaint from a residentwho felt there was a risk to motorvehicle drivers and skateboardersfor potential accidents.“I was not in favour of banning

skateboarders from this area andtherefore came up with a trafficflow solution that would minimiserisk to both users of this area,”We-ber says.“We do not have skateboard fa-

cilities within the ward and I didnot feel itwas fair to ban them fromanoff-street parking area, especial-ly if the Road Traffic Act does not

allow them to use a public road fortheir activities.”The signage cost around R20 000

to install, Weber says. The new sig-nage shouldwarn both drivers andskateboarders to be cautious whenusing the area, Weber says.“The new traffic flowplan allows

for a greater sight distance whenusing the area and therefore mo-torists would be able to see if skate-boarders are coming down theramp. Previously they both usedthe same lane limiting the sightdistance,” he says.

Skaters, cars share space safely

All roads leadto ForeshoreNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Three decades after the Foreshore’sgrowth spurt, a new surge of develop-

ment is changing the face of the CBD’s“gateway”.A recent report released by the Cape

Town Central City Improvement District(CCID), titled ‘The State of the Cape TownCentral City Report: 2015 in review’, statedthat since 2012 aroundR7bn of developmenthas either beenplanned, is currently under-way or has been completed in the foreshore.Built on land reclaimed from the sea in

the 1930s, the Foreshore first saw large-scale developmentbetween the ’60s and ’80s,with the construction of the Media24 build-ing, Absa Centre, Artscape and the CivicCentre.In 2003, the CapeTown International Con-

vention Centre (CTICC) was completed.Since 2012, 10 upgrades and developments

have been completed, with constructionstill to be completedon theRadissonBluHo-tel, the CTICC, KPMG Place, the new Chris-tian Barnard Hospital and Artscape.The Foreshore was, for many years, very

much the “unloved” side of the CBD, saysCarola Koblitz, CCID communicationsmanager and author of the report.“Because of the freeways that run

through it and the vast tracts of land usedfor open-air parking lots, it was both unat-tractiveandgenerallyunderused.Plus it lit-erally – for many years – lay far from whatwas then the heart of the rest of the CBD.”However, as the CBD has expanded and

as demand for development has increased,developers have looked to this underutil-ised space. “It is one of the few areas in the

CBD that offer “greenfields”, where con-temporary developments can be built. Asbeautiful as the rest of the CBD is, a greatdeal of it falls within theHeritage conserva-tion area and with that comes restrictionson building new developments,” she says.The development of the foreshore is natu-

ral progression, says Ian Neilson, the Cityof Cape Town’s Deputy Mayor.“It is a logical area for the expansion of

the CBD of Cape Town as a result of, amongothers, the nature of the existing businessesin the foreshore and the location of the fore-shore, to which all major roads lead. It isalso close to the harbour, Central Train Sta-tion and Central Taxi Rank. Cape Town isalso seen as an entry point to other Africandestinations,” he says.Certain large-scale catalytic investments

have unlocked opportunities, Neilson be-lieves, including the establishment of theCity’s MyCiTi Central Cape Town Stationand other central route infrastructure in-vestments as well as the major expansionof the Cape Town Convention Centre.Development on the foreshore brings

with it new companies and more job oppor-tunities, as well as new facilities like theCTICCand the newChristiaanBarnardMe-morial Hospital, says Koblitz.And the knock-on effect of these develop-

ments is huge, Nielson says. “The develop-ment of the Foreshorewill increase the Cityrates base, thereby increasing service deliv-ery andmaintaining the already high levelsof service provision. This is important asthe economic situation in South Africa isworsening and the National Governmentgrants to municipalities are decreasing.Own-generated income sources are vital tomeet the demands of a growing city.”

Storm wreakshavoc in cityTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Someof the residents around theprovinceare still trying to recover following a

heavy storm last Friday.The Cape storm which caused havoc in

the city saw thundershowers with heavyrain and wind up to 150 km/ph and wide-spread floods.Areas like Constantia, Wynberg, Belhar

and Fish Hoek saw trees uprooted and fall-ing on buildings and cars. Roofs whereblown off in areas like Lavender Hill, HoutBay, Masiphumelele and Retreat. Floodedroads caused damage to property in Ken-sington and Wetton.Fire and Rescue spokesperson, Charlotte

Powell, said the City’s Roads and StormWa-ter,Electricity andParksandForest depart-ments were attending to the incidents.ER24’s Cape Town branches were kept

busy following the severe storm. Paramed-ics responded to eight motor vehicle colli-sions, which were most likely caused by se-verely flooded roads. They also assisted in

blocking off flooded roads that posed a riskto commuters as well as trees which hadfallen across roads – such as on the N1,where a tree fell, and Rhodes Avenue inConstantia,where a tree fell onto an emer-gency service’s vehicle.No serious injuries were reported during

the collisions. However, patients with mi-nor injuries were transported to hospital.ER24 urges commuters to take extra care

when driving on flooded roads:. Slow down and make sure you have

your headlights switched on.. Be careful of potholes that might have

filled with water which make it difficult tospot.

. Do not attempt to cross flooded low wa-ter bridges or areas that are severely flood-ed.

. Ensure your car’s windscreen wipersare in good working condition and ensureall your lights are working. Other vehicleswill find it difficult to see you in misty con-ditions.

. Obey the rules of the road and be pa-tient.

EDUCATION

Many ways to learnThroughout your child’s school career, theyhave been tasked with growing amounts ofhomework, assignments and tests. Howev-er, as they proceed from grade to grade, thework pressure increases, potentially leav-ing your child feeling flustered.

Creating a schedule, together with yourchild, will help your child prioritise theirtime and create a sense of control. But whathappens when it’s time to buckle down tostudy, and the information doesn’t stick?

Conventional parrot-style studying mayleave your child feeling anxious or despond-ent. Each child is unique in their abilities,and study techniques don’t generally formpart of the school curriculum. This is a greatway for parents to offer assistance, and gothrough aprocess of elimination to establishthe most successful method.

A study has been completed to categorisefour learning styles or preferences whichcould help your child absorb and interpretinformation. This is called theVARKmodal-ities, which has been split to have a specificfocus on visual, aural, read andwrite or kin-aesthetic stimulation.

VisualVisually predominant study techniques

require the study areas be void of any visualdistractions. The only visually appealingmaterial should be study notes. Informationis best consumed through pictures, dia-grams and graphs. Utilise brightly colourstationery to accentuate key information.The use of online videos and flash cards aregreat tools too.

AuralA study space should be clear of auditory

distractions. These learners consume infor-mation best though spoken word format.Study groups work great if you are able to

find students with similar learning trends.Recorded discussions and lectures can be re-peated ina conducive environment andyourchild will create recitations and jingles ofkey information.

Read and WriteThis is probably themost traditional of all

study modes. From the classroom to home,your childwill constantly need to takenotes,re-read notes and hand outs along with ac-cessing additional information through var-ious mediums. The regurgitation of the in-formation will be interpreted and noted ina manner which is easier to consume.

KinaestheticThroughout your child’s life, they are

taught to sit still, be quiet, and face the front.However, young active minds are housed inyoung active bodies, which thrive on physi-cal activity. If your child chooses to lay onthe floor flicking their legs, or pace whenstudying let thembe.Themovement pacifiesthe body’s instinct to be active, freeing themind to absorb. This category of student isusually only able to study in short blocks oftime, with an accompanying distraction ofsqueezing a stress ball or listening to music.It’s not a study method encouraged, but ithas proven to be a successful method forsome children. A kinaesthetic learner likesto make use of examples and associationsrather thanplain facts and is further compli-mented through Aural study techniqueswith other scholars.

Visit http:/vark-learn.com to help you de-cipher a study mode and tools to best suityour child.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVET Col­lege. Look out for more study success strategies in Peo­ple’s Post in the last week of every month or go towww.falsebaycollege.co.za to find out more.

LETTERS

Investigatenumber ofpolice deathsThus far, more than 80 police officershave been killed this year.

This should elicit at least a commis-sion of enquiry by national government.The number of killings equates tonearly 20 per month or two per day.

The slaying of Detective LindekileSikade from Philippi East, Metro Policeofficer Simon Sigasa from Johannesburgand others, is strongly condemned, butwhat recourse do we have after thecondemnation of the dastardly murders?

If the perpetrators are targeting lawenforcement officers solely for theirfirearms in order to commit furtheracts of crime, wherein lies the solutionto end the heinous killings?

Unless this stark reality is addressedswiftly, less young men and women willenter the policing services, albeit itpolice or the municipal Metro Policeservices.

Statistics indicate that there is a hugeshortfall of police officers in the West-ern Cape.

I implore national police commission-er to initiate a national commission ofenquiry in respect of the atrocity tostop the killings, and rid civil society ofthe cowardly perpetrators and illegalunlicensed firearms.

MARK KLEINSCHMIDTKenwyn

Criminal opportunitiesThe Atlantic Seaboard NeighbourhoodWatch (ASNW) which covers Sea Pointand Fresnaye held its AGM last week.

The main crime issue we face in thearea is theft out of motor vehicles. Thisis a growing problem and extra vigilanceis needed.

Basically, solving the problem lies inour hands. Anything left in a car is ofpotential value to a criminal. When onpatrol last week we saw two cars – onewith a GPS on the windscreen and theother with a set of golf clubs lying onthe back seat. Fortunately we were ableto alert both owners and they removedthe items.

Criminals come into the area becausewe provide them with easy pickings.Why is a puzzle to me. We have burglarbars, locks and alarm systems for our

homes but then leave items lying aroundand on view in our cars. It’s almost as ifwe are saying “come and steal it”.Furthermore I’m convinced that othercrimes can happen when the vehicles arebeing checked out – such as robberiesand house break-ins – if the opportunityarises.

Can we have a determined campaignto keep our cars clean? Let’s get themessage to the criminal that there is nopoint coming here because we haven’tleft out anything for you to steal

Finally, do check physically that youcar is locked before leaving it. Remotejamming devices are also being used – afew seconds could save you many hoursof angst later.

DEREK SALTERChair ASNW

Who is behind the shootings?Regarding gangs on the Cape Flats:

I am always very saddened when Ihear of the innocent people being killedfor no reason by these sub-humans, andother innocents maimed for life. Thesegangsters have no understanding of thepain and suffering they deliberatelycause through their madness.

But my biggest concern is: Who issupplying them the ammunition?

We know that many firearms arestolen and many are even supplied byother sub-humans but where does theammunition come from?

Why do we not hear of that?Surely if the suppliers of ammunition

can be identified, prosecuted and sen-tenced to lengthy jail terms then perhapsthere should be a drop in the killings.When these sub-humans are arrestedwith the guns surely the police shouldbe able to extract that information of thesuppliers of the ammunition.

I ask: Can it be that some policemenare supplying them so we do not hearabout that?

Beware of scammers at your doorI just want to bring it under yourattention that two people and a child ina car pulled up at my house recently.

They smooth talked my kids – whowere at home at the moment – and took

Hilton Murray and James Chevallier, running partners to Anita Engelbrechtand Chaeli Mycroft will be taking part in this year’s comrade marathonwhich has allowed wheelchair assisted people for the very first time.

History in the makingTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Chaeli Sports and RecreationClub (CSRC) in Plumstead is

over the moon because their wheel-chair assisted activists will be par-ticipating in the 2016 Comradesmarathon in Durban later nextmonth.

Chaeli Mycroft (21) and AnitaEngelbrecht (22) will be the firstwheelchair athletes ever to partici-pate in the Comrades Marathon.

The 91st edition of the world’sbiggest and oldest ultra-marathonwill take place on Sunday 29 May.They will be assisted by their run-ning partners on the 89km uphillrun from Pietermaritzburg to Dur-ban. These two dynamic ability ac-tivists challenged the ComradesMarathon Rule (CMA) that stated“no wheelchairs or mechanicalaids” would be allowed entry intothe Comrades.

Mycroft, an ability activist andadventurer who was born with ce-rebral palsy, is a spastic quadriple-gic and has a degenerative neurop-athy. She is currently studying foran honours degree in social policyand management at the Universityof Cape Town. Mycroft says it isgreat to see CMA and ASA uphold-ing the rights provided by SouthAfrica’s constitution.

“People with disabilities are of-ten sidelined by society, and this isan opportunity to show that we areactive and capable members of ourcommunities.”

Engelbrecht, who is an ability

activist, cyclist and runner, wasborn with cerebral palsy and is aspastic diplegic. She is in her third

year doing her Bachelor in Com-merce degree at Stellenbosch Uni-versity. Engelbrecht says: “Only

those who attempt the absurd canachieve the impossible.”

Zelda Mycroft, the CSRC chiefexecutive officer, says this is histo-ry in the making. “This is greatnews. We couldn’t be happier. Thispaves the way for more greatthings. The CSRC and Chaeli Cam-paign look forward to partneringCMA and ASA in growing more op-portunities for wheelchair athletesto enter the mainstream marathonand ultra-marathon arenas to con-tinue growing awareness that abil-ity comes in all shapes and forms.Inclusive sport inspires and is ben-eficial to all who practise it as wellas the spectators and administra-tors who cheer on our brave ath-letes.”

Though today they have some-thing to celebrate, it wasn’t a walkin the park to have these two in-cluded in the marathon. This rul-ing that they fought so hard for,started with engagement withCMA in February. After hitting ahard rock and being denied, theynever gave up. They fought harderand even had a petition goingaround so that they could be in-cluded.

Making the announcement lastweek, Macdonald Chitja, the CMAchairperson, said CMA has notedand is in the process of implement-ing a directive from ASA that twowheelchair assisted participantsbe permitted to participate in the2016 Comrades Marathon.

Mycroft and Engelbrecht quali-fied for the event in the Red Hillmarathon earlier this year.

CT marathongoes for goldOrganisers of the Sanlam Cape Town

Marathonwill aim to takeanother stepforward this year in their attempt to

close the gap on theworld’s biggest road run-ning events.Set to be held for the third time since its

relaunch in 2014, the annual 42kmrace takesplace in the picturesqueMotherCity onSun-day 18 September, and retains IAAF SilverLabel status.As the only standardmarathon race in Af-

rica to be awarded Silver Label status, theCape TownMarathonwill continue to targetGold Label recognition. “We are verypleased with the progress we have madeover the last two years, and we are satisfiedthat we made further advances by hostinganother successful event last year. We havea vision and will continue to focus on thatby making the required adjustments to en-sure we are delivering a world-class eventacross the board. Thiswill assist in ensuringSouth African runners have access to aworld-class running event organised by glo-bally accredited standards, while offeringincentives and mentoring for local run-ners,” says Elana Meyer, race ambassadorand former Olympic silver medallist.Taking the next step towards their long-

term goals, organisers aim to offer an en-hanced runner and spectator experience atthe 2016 race. By providing spectator busesand zones, as well as a wide range of enter-tainment, the organisers again intend to in-volve local communities in the festivitiesaround the event. The weekend Spring roadrunning festival will also continue to em-power and reward local road running talent.The tremendous local and international

support for the 2015 event, which boastedone of the largest road race fields in thecountry, offers a clear indication of the im-pact the race has already made since it waslaunched. “The increase in popularity ofthis event over a short two-year periodshows the value it can offer people through-out Africa as a leading brand which pro-motes healthy living. The economic boostdelivered by the Sanlam Cape Town Mara-thon through various local industries, in-cluding travel and tourism, continues tomake a valuable contribution outside theworld of sport. This shows the true value ofthe race,” says Garreth Bloor, Mayco mem-ber for economic development and tourism.The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon brings

together elite competitors, social runnersand local communities, and is proving to bea top choice for elite athletes as well as fit-ness-loving celebrities.Organisers are again calling on runners

Thus the second annual showpiece of thehost club Salt River Blackpoolwill be playedon the Friday 29, Saturday 30April andMon-day 2 May at the Shelley Road sports com-plex in Salt River.

Tournament director Iqbal Kasker said atthe official launch and tournament drawlaunch held the Fountains Hotel that theplanning for the 2016 version of the tourna-ment had commenced a few weeks after lastyear’s event and that the success of lastyear’s tournament subsequently had to in-crease the entry of teams from 48 to 64.

“I want to thank all the participatingclubs. Last year we had 16 teams in each ofthe u.7, u.9 and u.11 divisions. Due to inter-est and demand for entry this year we see16 teams in u.8, 24 teams in u.10 and 24 teamsin the u.12 division.

“This growth in entry is phenomenal fromyear one and we, the organizers our thanksagain to the clubs for their interest. Thisyear the SRBFC Super 7s have attractedclubs from all over Cape Town, which in-cludes areas such as Camps Bay, Milnerton,

Atlantis, Somerset West, Khayelitsha, BlueDowns, Grassy Park and the City Bowl Dis-trict. Then professional clubs such as AjaxCape Town, Santos and Milano United willalso be participating this year.”Kasker also said a football tournament of

this size cannot do without sponsors and do-nors to assist the club in hosting a profes-sionally run tournament.He also acknowledged the presence of foot-

ball administrators from both Safa CapeTown and Cape District LFA present at thelaunchandexpressed theirblessingandsup-port for this tournament ismost appreciatedandwe hope to see you at the field to witnessour young players competing and enjoyingthe beautiful game.Once again a huge number of match offi-

cials will officiate to ensure the matches areplayed in a harmonious way whilst abidingto the tournament rules.Kasker also clarified that there were no

prize money involved for the winners, butthat the aim was to promote youth develop-ment in a fun environment.“The important thing that we want to pro-

mote is youth football and growth. There isno prize money,” he said.“Winners of the tournament will get a

floating trophy and medals. The runners upwill get medals, and the plate section will al-so get a trophy. Then there’s the individualawards like the player of the tournament,goalkeeper of the tournament and even thecoach of the tournament.”

BEN BURGER

For Tristan Brooks karate is a lifestylerather than a sport. Not surprisingly,the Grade 11 learner from Rondebosch

Boys’ High School is the number one fighterin his age group in the country.Tristan has been named the People’s Post

Let’s Play Sport Star of theMonth forMarchand April.He was nominated by his dad, Neil, who

says that Tristan is currently ranked num-ber one inSouthAfrica (u.17) both inKumite(fighting) and Kata (the sequence of moves),the two disciplines of Kimura Shukokai Ka-rate.“He travelled to New York in 2012 repre-

senting South Africa in the KSI World Tour-nament and again in 2014, this time in SunCity. In July he will be travelling to Berlin,Germany for the KSI 2016 World Tourna-ment. In September last year Tristan com-peted against the best in Europe at the KSIEuropean Open Championships in Luzerne,Switzerland narrowly losing in the final,”says Neil.According to Tristan he loves karate be-

cause of the intense training. “Personally Ilove the physical side of the intense trainingschedules and competitions, but a high levelof mental discipline is required to carry outthis lifestyle. My Sensei calls us all crazy forwhatwe do and it is the sense of brotherhoodthat keeps me motivated. The bonds madewith other fighters worldwide is what I loveabout what this life has to offer.”He trains four times a week and loves be-

ing in the gym. “As well as my karate train-ing, which is a 90 minute class four days aweek, I try to include a boxing fitness classonce a week and I can always be found inthe gym during my spare time on the week-end. But I like to think that a fighter is al-ways training and bettering himself in ev-erything he does in every aspect of life. Ihave taken a recent liking to calisthenicswhich is pure bodyweight training requir-ing inhuman strength to push your body tonew levels.”Tristan says that he also loves the out-

doors. “I am a keen fisherman, with a pas-sion for the great outdoors and hope to oneday lead a life as close to nature as I can.There is hardly any formof training that canbeat a hike up the mountain with friends orfamily.”Forhim,karate is awayof life, rather than

a sport. “I guess that I have been involvedwith karate for most of my life, since agefive, and in all the years of training that hasdeveloped my passion for this martial art. I

play rugby at school when I’m not preparingfor a karate competition, and also enjoy ath-letics, but we do not consider martial artsto be a sport, it is a way of life. All other vari-ous forms of exercise are all geared towardsmy life in karate.“Since a young age my order of priorities

has been my Christian faith followed by myfamily, second to those are school and thentraining. When you have your priorities setbefore you, everything else falls into place.I strongly feel that once you have startedtraining in this form of martial arts, it is im-possible to stop. It is a lifetime journey ofconstantly pushing your body and mind toits limits and constantly striving for great-ness in everything you do.”Tristan says he looks up to his karate hero

Shihan (master instructor) Chris Thompsonwho holds an 8th Dan and is a World ChiefInstructor. “The control that he has over hisbody is unbelievable to witness and he alsois a perfect gentleman towards all. The timeand dedication he has shown towards Kimu-ra Shukokai Karate is unbelievable and Ihope to one day be half the man he is.”Tristan says that his participation in the

USA in 2012 was his first international tour-nament and it was a real eye-opener for him.“It made me realise what a journey I hadahead of myself if I wanted to be the best Icould. Seeinghowhardother countrieswerepushing, made me want to train even hard-er.”He says that if it was not for the support

ofhis parents, hewouldnothavemade it thisfar. “Without the support of my parents, es-pecially at a younger age, I don’t think thatI would still be doing karate today. Withouttheir support and without them constantlypushing me I would have never reached thelevel I am at today.”Tristan might even be regarded as Cape

Town’s own Karate Kid. He was part of ademo team for the launch of the remake ofthe original 1984moviewhenTheKarateKidwas launched in 2010 at Cavendish.V You can nominate any pupil between the ages of13 and 18 as the sport star of the month by sendingemail to ben.burger@media24.com. Clearly write thesubject as Sports Star. You need to mention theachievements of the nominee in detail and the emailshould be shorter than 300 words. The decision of thejudges is final.

Mr Miyagi would be very proud

Tristan Brooks at the 2015 KSI South AfricanNational Championship at UCT where he wona Gold medal for Kumite (fighting) Silver forUnison kata (a three-man synchronised katateam event) and Bronze for individual Kata.
