Childhood games passed on from one generation to the next was the theme of the day at the \u201cSuikerkaskenades<\/span> Indigenous Games\u201d hosted by the New Horizon Neighbourhood Watch in Pelican Park on Heritage Day, Saturday 24 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saadiqah Ganief, treasurer at New Horizon Neighbourhood Watch, said the aim of the event was to promote social cohesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGames that were played generations before were enjoyed by the youth symbolising Heritage Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe aim of the programme was to promote social cohesion and empowerment of team building and unity among team mates as they are playing with pure fun and no competition.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Horizon Neighbourhood Watch partnered with the New Horizon Civic Association, New Horizon Marching Band, Move SA and Grassy Park Youth Desk Crime Prevention Unit to host the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 80 children between the ages of six and 16 participated in the fun activities which included sack races, potato races a bean race and three-legged race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special guests included Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith who acknowledged the youth\u2019s commitment to become involved in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAttending community initiatives and getting involved with the marching squad keeps youth away from the social ills in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grassy Park station commander Col Dawood Laing encouraged youth to complete their education and that it was important to \u201cknow where you come from and where you are heading to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Grassy Park Youth Desk Crime Prevention Unit promoted their fingerprint drive to include children of all ages into the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A young talented artist stood out for producing his own original music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA very talented young man Raees Ryklief composed his own original rap for the youth speaking about gang violence, murders and the hurt in communities that are breaking down our youth. His piece encouraged the youth to look towards a brighter and broader horizon,\u201d said Ganief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that the New Horizon Neighbourhood Watch has always pledged to take on social responsibility in the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe stand firm to create opportunities, awareness programmes and fun activities to constantly have projects that deter youth away from choices leading to gangsterism and crime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
