Last batch of BT Football Academy players who were stranded in Portugal land in Cape Town
CAPE TOWN - The last batch of 15 young football players and one of the coaches, who were left stranded in Europe after a botched football tour, have landed at Cape Town International Airport. Thirty-four young footballers and four coaches flew to Spain earlier in July for a football tour arranged by BT Football Academy. The academy failed to book return flights despite participants paying R50,000 each for the trip. Nineteen players and three coaches have since returned to Cape Town safely, with the rest of the squad having just landed on Thursday afternoon.

Zukiswa Dlelembe from Mowbray said that she could not wait to see her son, Anathi. "I'm so excited. I couldn't sleep last night. I think it's because of excitement and because we've been through hell in the last few days. I was not sleeping even, not having appetite. But now I'm very excited, I can't wait to see my son." The young players who are from areas across Cape Town were split into three groups, with at least one coach accompanying them for each trip.

Picture: Cailyn Pretorius/EWN CAPE TOWN - Cries of jubilation echoed through the international arrivals section of Cape Town International Airport on Thursday, as the last batch of young footballers and coaches who were stranded in Europe after a botched tour arrived on home soil. Thirty-four young footballers and four coaches flew to Spain earlier in July for a football tour arranged by BT Football Academy. The academy failed to book return flights despite participants paying R50,000 each for the trip, leaving the entire squad standing for more than a week.

"I'm actually excited and sad at the same time. The joy... the tears of joy just flew down." Josea recounted his experience of the tour. "I had a wonderful experience. It was quite amazing, but, unfortunately, the time I had to come home... I can't complain. The only complaint is when we had to come home." The families of the young footballers have indicated they would like a full investigation into what led to the children being stranded in Spain. 'THE REAL HEROES' One of the coaches, who has been hailed as a hero for ensuring the 34 young footballers and three other coaches made it back home safely, said it was a team effort. Coach Jesse Julius, who arrived in Cape Town on Thursday with the last batch of young footballers, said the heroes were the people who made donations. Julius organised travelling and accommodation for the players and coaches after they were left stranded in Spain by BT Football Academy. "The real heroes are the journalists who have been following and writing the stories. The real heroes are Tracey Lange, Charl Dias, Abongile, the flight center, Melissa, everyone else. Those are the real heroes." Julius said that the other coaches also deserved applause for their efforts to ensure the children arrived back home safely.

Open Book Festival funding crisis — community response and latest government decisions
While the community has rallied with support, recent government funding decisions have confirmed the severity of the financial shortfall threatening Open Book Festival's survival beyond September 2025. Since the festival's initial appeal last week, the organisation expresses deep gratitude for the community support received, with contributors donating R104,177.23 toward the R500,000 target needed for the September 2025 festival. The organisation has also streamlined its donation process to make supporting the initiative more accessible. However, recent correspondence from government departments has clarified the extent of the funding crisis. When the initial appeal was made, the festival had not yet received final decisions from key funding applications. The Western Cape Cultural Affairs and Sport department has now confirmed support of just over R55,000 – a fraction of the R300,000 originally applied for. Meanwhile, the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture's list of supported projects does not include Open Book Festival at all. After years of receiving crucial multi-year funding as a Western Cape Flagship Project, including R700,000 in 2024, this represents a dramatic reduction in government support. "We can no longer depend on government support," stated the festival organisers. "This represents an unprecedented shortfall for an event that operates on an annual budget of approximately R2 million." Open Book Festival encompasses three major annual events: the flagship September festival, the Youth Festival in March, and Workshop Week in June. If Open Book Festival ceases to exist, the impact will be felt by many writers who have enjoyed the platform the festival creates, the sales of books, the opportunities to meet, engage and connect with other writers and the opportunities to talk to readers and engaged citizens. The festival's impact resonates deeply within the literary community. Professor Pumla Dineo Gqola noted that "Open Book reminds me of the beauty and generosity in the world, and gives me permission to feel full joy for a few days." Author Damilare Kuku observed, "I have never been to a festival where I could see art healing people in real time." Shubnum Khan, author of Onion Tears, How I Accidentally Became a Global Stock Photo and The Lost Love of Akbar Manzil describes Open Book as "truly one of the best and nicest book festivals I've ever been to. Everyone was just so warm and welcoming and everyone, whether I knew them or not, felt like old friends." Novelist Yewanda Omotoso expresses her experience of the festival as "really special. I remembered what it is about Open Book that reverberates so powerfully ... A generosity of spirit that inhabits the festival and all who touch it." "Without immediate support, there may be no Open Book Festival beyond September 2025," organisers urged. "Every contribution matters. Every share extends our reach. Every voice raised in support strengthens the community we've built together."
