DEAR Editor,-
ON Thursday, November 3 at about 5.40 pm I was driving home with three of my karatekas and at ‘confusion junction’ from the Port Shepstone Borough Grounds side at the robot my boot opened and my briefcase fell out.
The children immediately called out to tell me the boot was open so I went through the robot turned around and drove straight back in the hope that someone was standing, looking confused and holding my briefcase.
In the briefcase was the money for the upcoming Ugu tournament the following Saturday and my money collected from teaching karate for the months of October and November. Many of these parents scrimped and saved to enable their children to participate in this event.
Also in the briefcase were indemnities, years of grading references, receipt book all with my name and telephone number on. And, I almost forgot, a small child’s Shito-Ryu black and red t-shirt.
Surely someone saw something – saw someone stop and pick it up and did you not say, come on guys this is not yours show some ubuntu and caring. I thought everyone was striving towards a new honest South Africa.
My kareteka in the car were insistent that the briefcase would be returned, their faces registering shock, disbelief even tears from one of the youngest.
If you insist on keeping the money or have spent it, then please just return my briefcase, leave it at the South Coast Herald, outside the front glass door if you prefer not to show your face.
