Anti-Eviction Campaign Youth Day in Newfields Village, Cape Town

Newfields Village Anti-Eviction Campaign
Saturday 14th June 2008
7pm

CAPE TOWN – The Newfields Village Anti-Eviction Campaign is supporting a community youth day which starts tomorrow and continues on Monday.

Tomorrow an under 13 soccer tournament will take place and this will henceforth be an annual event known as the Zubair memorial, in memory of the 11 year old boy who was murdered and found on the school grounds recently. The late Zubair was part of the under 13 team and the Anti-Eviction Campaign feels it fitting that he should be commemorated.

The tournament starts at 10am at Parkfields Primary, Newfields Village.

The Anti-Eviction Campaign is also involved in anti-drug work with the community. On Monday there will be an anti-eviction team playing in the over 35’s tournament. Monday’s event will feature 11 soccer teams.
