The sandboarding ini- tiative in Atlantis was conceived by instructor Derek Bredenkamp af- ter children asked if they could join the fun two years ago while he taught patrons of his company, Mamba Sandboarding. The boys wear helmets while sandboarding, which is similar to snow- boarding, although oc- casionally a boy ignores the rule to use protective head gear. “Atlantis is histori- cally almost a dumping ground for people,” said Bredenkamp, known as “Uncle Derek” to the boys. In Atlantis, he said, it is “difficult to find work, and with that come all the social ills of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, women abuse and that whole sad, sick environment that these poor kids have to grow up in.” Members of the Atlan- tis Sandboarding Club range from 10 to 15 years old and are picked up for sandboarding on Friday afternoons from their homes in Neptune’s Cas- tle, an area of Atlantis.

Gang names are scrawled on the walls of an area ad- jacent to high-rise apart- ment complexes where rival gangs have some- times exchanged gunfire. The biggest gangs in the area are called the “26s” and the “28s,” part of a broad network of “number gangs” that are active in South Africa’s prisons and get money from theft and the drug trade.

Another Atlantis sand- boarder is 13-year-old Mujahideen Koeberg, whose father is in jail for gang-related crimes. He said he doesn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps and that sand- boarding keeps him out of trouble. Koeberg’s mother, Shamiela Koeberg, has separated from his fa- ther. Sitting on a sofa sup- ported by cinder blocks, she said Bredenkamp is a positive role model in her son’s life. The sandboarding in- structor has taught dis- cipline to the children and shown them “many things outside the con- fines of this place,” she To place your ad, email advertising@theskanner.com or go to www.TheSkanner.com and click on the “Ads” menu said.
