NEWS In what has been described as one of the most vocal and visible school activist campaigns, St John’s College led a #BringBackOurGirls protest on a chilly winter’s morning in May by forming a human chain around the perimeter of the school. Over 700 St John’s College students held up banners in silence for the 230 Nigerian school girls who were kidnaped by the Boko Haram. Other schools that participated included St Stithians, St Andrew’s, Redhill, St Teresa’s, Roedean, Kingsmead, St David’s, Parktown Boys and St Mary’s. Support from the motorists driving past was overwhelming with people hooting, waving and flashing lights in recognition of a cause which is very close to our pupils’ hearts. St John’s also received front page newspaper coverage for the campaign.

A time when full contact sport no longer holds centre stage. It is a passage of time when the art of sport is appreciated over the physicality of competition. Today, latent skills and blossoming talent has a place amongst our youth and the generations to come. It is now the subtle brilliance of deftness, the art of touch, mastery of stroke and pure strategic guile that has turned cricket into the sport of the future. Today cricket is the stage for mental agility and peak physical condition. It is purity of both mind and spirit that produces champions. The re-invention of cricket globally has rejuvenated a desire to master the ultimate game. A sense of camaraderie pursued by both men and women alike. It’s now a passion for gamesmanship, integrity, honesty and fair play. It is a game that can be embraced and played or supported by everyone. We can’t undo the past, but we can shape the future. We do what we do today in cricket, for what will happen TOMORROW.

  • Sport Awards 2015 Foreword
    Sport Awards 2015 Foreword The annual Sports Awards is a highlight of the Western Cape Government’s calendar. The Awards recognise and officially acknowledge the esteemed excellence of sportspeople hailing from the Western Cape. Today, we pay tribute to the exemplary role these individuals have played in the development of sport and motivating others to achieve more. I wholeheartedly thank each sportsperson awarded their prestigious acknowledgement for serving as a beacon of hope to all in the Western Cape. Their perseverance, focus and positive choices have groomed them into significant role-models to whom youth can aspire. Excellence in their respective sporting codes requires dedication, motivation and many hours of practice, but also most importantly support and encouragement from significant others: family, friends, coaches, managers and others. Heartfelt gratitude is expressed to them for their continuous support and encouragement toward our sporting success. Sport Awards 1 History has shown time and again that sport has the ability to bring diverse groups of people together and I fi rmly believe our honoured sport stars personify this notion. They also promote a healthy lifestyle in which they contribute to increasing wellness and safety in the Western Cape and for that I thank you profusely. By celebrating our victories and achievements we create a spirit of goodwill and social inclusivity that ultimately binds us all better together. In closing, a special word of thanks to all the DCAS team players for your hard work, dedication and professionalism in making the Sports Awards a proud occasion.

Their work will underpin a sustainable stability plan for the geologically fragile World Heritage Site. t’s listed by the Smithsonian Magazine as one Iof the 28 places to see before you die. Located halfway between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of AqabaRa in Jordan, its lofty tombs and monuments carved into the oxidised sand- stone mountains, the prehistoric city of Petra is an architectural and cultural oasis at the foot of the gorge- and tunnel-riddled Mount Hor, or Jabal Haroon, the burial place of Prophet Aaron. Once a thriving centre of trade, Petra was the capital city of the Nabateans, a nomadic people whose empire rose to its peak between 400 BC and AD 100. But the city was lost to the Western World for seventeen centuries until in 1812, Swiss traveller Ludwig Burckhardt gained entry, disguised as a Bedouin. In 1985 UNESCO declared Petra a World Heritage Site. Now it attracts up to 5,000 tour- ists a day in high season.
