# The DA has expressed outrage after a planned rugby match between Atlantis Secondary School and the UK’s Loughborough Grammar School was cancelled over safety fears in Cape Town. The match was scheduled for 4 July at Protea Park Sport Field. The DA’s Nicholas Gotsell says this shatters a rare opportunity for learners, blaming the police and Western Cape police commissioner, Thembisile Patekile, for failing to ensure community safety. He demands answers and action, insisting Atlantis learners deserve protection and global sporting opportunities.
