Die leerders van JJ Rhode Primêr op Vaal-draai, Elsenburg, het Vrydag 25 Julie ’n optogteen dwelmmisbruik in die gemeenskap ge-hou.

Sowat 300 leerders het die strate ingevaar metplakkate en het eenvormig slagspreuke, soos stopdwelmmisbruik, geskreeu.Die skool is beroof van rekenaars en ander elek-

troniese apparate, en daarword vermoed dat hier-die items verkoop word vir dwelmgeld.“Die aksie is gehou teen inbrake by die skool.

Onswil die tikhuise uitkry,” sê Nicol Barends, ad-junkhoof van JJ Rhode Primêr.“Onsmaakdiekinders bewusvandwelmsendie

Less school vandalismduring June holidaysDuring the June/ July holiday period 23schools across the province reported in-cidences of vandalism or burglary.

This represents a decrease from 31 inci-dents reported for the same period last year.Of the 23 schools, the CapeWinelands Dis-

trict reportednine incidents of burglary andvandalism.The Metro Central District had four inci-

dents reported, four from the Metro SouthDistrict and two from the Metro North Dis-trict.Inorder toprotect the schools as faraspos-

sible from burglary and vandalism over theholiday period, theWesternCape EducationDepartment (WCED) Safe Schools directo-rate arranged for increased security at someof our schools in communities identified ashigh risk.About 495 schools received either 24 hour

security or benefited from cluster patrols.Unfortunately, despite these measures,someofourschools still fall victimtovandal-ism and burglaries during the school holi-day.The WCED received one report of vandal-

ism and burglary from each of the followingdistricts; the Eden andKarooDistrict, Over-bergDistrict,WestCoastandMetroEastDis-trict.Only one case has been classified as “ma-

jor”, 21caseshavebeenclassifiedas“minor”and one case has been classified as “negligi-ble”.In most cases, perpetrators broke into the

school bathrooms and vandalised the interi-ors.

In other cases, computer labs, school offic-es and classrooms were broken into. Elec-tronicswere stolenanddoorsandgatesdam-aged while trying to gain entry.The WCED has received estimated costs

of damages for eight of the 23 schools. Thisamount is estimated to be approximatelyR400 000 so far.School vandalism not only comes at a cost

to the Education Department but also thelearners and the community are negativelyaffected.It is important for communities to take

ownership of the schools in their area andrealise that they have an important role toplay in protecting their community’s assets.WCEDurge communitymembers to be ex-

tra vigilant throughout the year and to im-mediately report any suspicious behaviouror activities that occur within the vicinityof schools.Debbie Schäfer, Minister of Education in

the Western Cape, would like to encouragecommunities with neighbourhood watchesto include the schools in their patrols andincreasepatrolsespeciallyduring theschoolholidays.They do however need to acknowledge the

decline in reported incidents and thus thankSafe Schools, Metro Police, SAPS and mem-bers of the community for their sustainedefforts in assisting to bring an end to vandal-ism and burglary in our schools.(Please note: The WCED does not identify

the names of schools that have been affectedby burglary and vandalism. In many cases,the damages caused by the perpetrators canresult in a security threat or breach).

March with nationwide educational work-shops, after which finalists were required tocomplete a list of tasks to make a real and sus-tainable difference in their communities.“Miss Earth South Africa has provided me

a platform to combinemy love for the environ-ment and to educate children about the issueswe are currently facing, not only nationally,but globally.

Hou tred met veranderings en vooruitgangVan tyd tot tyd is dit belangrikdat ’nmens bietjie diewêreld inoënskou neem om te bepaal ofjou besigheid nog tred hou metveranderinge en vooruitgang.

Behalwe vir al die tegnologieseveranderinge, is daar baie faktorewaarvan enige besigheidspersoonkennis moet neem in sy beplan-ning vir die afsienbare toekoms.Eerstens is daar die geweldige

arbeidsonrus en al staak die wer-kers by jou onderneming nie, het’n staking gewoonlik ’n kettingre-

aksie wat veroorsaak dat die sta-king by ander ondernemings vanwie jy onderdele of dienste moetverkry, jou besigheid ook bena-deel. Het jy planne hoe om die ska-de van sulke vertragings tot dieminimum te beperk?Verder vra baie werknemeror-

ganisasies deesdae dat daar weg-gedoenmoet wordmet arbeidsma-kelaars. Indien jy wel arbeid ge-bruik wat via sulke makelaarsvoorsien word, het jy ’n plan hoejy te werk sal gaan as dit ’n werk-likheid sou word? Watter mense

sal jy permanent behou en watternie? Dit is baie beter om so ietslank vooruit te beplan as om skie-lik so ’n besluit te moet neem diedag as dit ’n werklikheid word.Dan is daar die opwaartse nei-

ging van rentekoerse. Het jy al ge-kyk en beplan vir die effek daar-van op jou inkomste en uitgawes?Verwag jy laer verkope as gevolgdaarvan? Is daar diemoontlikheiddat jymense salmoet aflê of is daardalk nuwe markte wat jy kan ont-gin?Afhangende van die tipe besig-

heid wat jy bedryf, isdaar ander faktoresoos die brandstof-prys, wisselkoerse,nuwe wetgewing t.o.v.reis enwerk in die bui-teland, ens. wat ’n in-vloed kan hê. Laastensis dit belangrik dat ’nmens nie moet dink jyhoef nie aan te pas bynuwe tegnologie nie.Rekenaars en die in-

ternet is lankal niemeer net nuttige tegnologie wat

jou werk kan verge-maklik nie. Dit het so ’nintegrale deel van eni-ge besigheid geworddat jy beswaarlik daar-sonder kan klaarkom.Is jou toekomsbeplan-ning sodanig dat jyhierdie uitdagings diehoof kan bied en selfsnog jou besigheid kanlaat groei?

Madiba inspireertoerismeorganisasieStellenbosch 360, die dorp se dinamiesetoerismeorganisasie, het kragte metHeart Capital saamgesnoer om sosialeen volhoubare verandering in Kaya-mandi te vestig, deur groenvingers enmannekrag aan hulle Foodpods-projekter viering vanMandela-dag te verleen.

Geïnspireer omvan elke dag ’nMandela-dag te maak, het Stellenbosch 360 reedsvroeër vanjaar na Heart Capital, ’n impak-investeringsorganisasie in Kaapstad, uit-gereik en ’n sandsakhuis vir hulle HeartCapital Foodpods Hub geborg. Dié innove-rende ‘groente-hub’ is in Kayamandi opge-rig om voedselsekerheid vir die plaaslikeinwoners op ’n volhoubare wyse te kweek.“Hierdie baanbreker groente-projek

maakdit vir die plaaslike inwonersmoont-likomhulleeieorganiesegroentetekweek,te eet en te verkoop. Dit is te danke aanHeart Capital wat aan hulle die infrastruk-tuur, opleiding en ondersteuning verleensodat hulle hul eie agri-besigheid daar opeie bodem op die been kan bring en vol-

hou,” verduidelik Matt Smith van Stellen-bosch 360. Ter viering van een van vanjaarse Mandela-dag-temas – voedselsekerheid– het Stellenbosch 360 hulle moue opgerolenmet kwas en verf hul geborgde huis ver-fraai, gehelp om nog ander sandsakhuisete bou, en ook nuwe saailinge en plantjiesin die Foodpods geplant.“Ons groei graag saammet ons plaaslike

gemeenskappe om ’n beter, en ’n meer om-gee-samelewing te bewerkstellig. Dit hetmy hart so warm gemaak om te sien hoedie kunshandwerkers van die plaaslikesentrum van entrepreneurskap en vrywil-ligers saamspan om ons huis in alle kleurevan Afrika te tooi,” sê Annemarie Ferns,hoofuitvoerende beampte van Stellen-bosch 360. “Deur na hierdie gemeenskapuit te reik, poog ons om ’n klein verskil temaak in diewêreldstryd teenhongersnooden armoede en ons daag al ons mede-Stel-lenbossers uit om in Madiba se voetsporete volg en ’n lewe van ’67 minute’, elke dagte leef, in plaas daarvan om dit net jaarlikste doen,” voeg Ferns by.

Annemarie Ferns, hoofuitvoerende beampte van Stel-lenbosch 360, het ook gehelp met die verfprojek in Kaya-mandi op Mandeladag.

‘Skrap departement arbeid’Woolworths senie-uit-voerende voorsitter,Simon Susman, hetVrydag gepleit dat diedepartement van ar-beid geskrap en deur’n departement vanwerk vervang wordom die klem van ar-beidswetgewing na in-diensneming te ver-skuif.Hy het ’n leiersme-

ning-aanbieding oor“Waardes” by die Uni-versiteit StellenboschBestuurskool (USB) inBellville gelewer.Susmanhetookmel-

ding gemaak van wathySuid-Afrika se “uit-muntende nasionale suksesverhaal” genoemhet, naamlik dat die land van ’n armoedesyfervan 67% in 2001 na ’n verwagte 31% in 2015afgeneem het.“Dit iswaarlikdieSuid-Afrikaansewonder-

werk, maar ek hoor dit nie genoeg nie – selfsnie van die regering se ministers nie,” sê hy.Met verwysing na hoe belangrik werkskep-

ping is, sê Susman die klem moet wees datSuid-Afrika se laagste inkomstegroepe (LSM1-4) deel van die arbeidsmark word. Hy sê dieland se arbeidswetgewing verhoed egter dat“miljoene werk kry”. Dié wette is “belaglik”.As die departement van arbeid in die “de-

partement van werk” sou verander, sal dit op’n belangrike verskuiwing in die rigting van

die skepping van nuwewerkgeleenthede viralmal in die sogenaam-de onderpunt van diemark vir werklosesdui. “Dat (voormaligeMicrosoft-baas) BillGates of (SA miljar-dêrs) Christo Wiese ofPatriceMotsepe ryk is,gaan geensins veran-der nie, maar jy moetsorgdatdieonderste le-de (van die samele-wing) werk kry.”InreaksieopSusman

sevoorstelhetprof.Ma-rius Ungerer, adjunk-professor aan die USB,watstrategiesebestuuras deel van die USB se

MBA-program doseer, gesê: “Onsweet die na-sionale ontwikkelingsplan belowe werkskep-ping. Dit sou baie positief wees as deelnemerssoos die regering, sakelui envakbonde oor diekwessie van die skepping vanwerkgeleenthe-de ’n meer gemene saak kan maak.”Ungerer sê werkskepping is ’n uitdaging

met talle fasette, en bloot ’n naamsverande-ring is dalk op die oog af ’n té beskeie oplos-sing. “Daar steek egter veel meer in ’n naamas wat ons dink,” voeg hy by.“Op die ou einde wil ons almal werkskep-

ping hê.”Susman dien ook as voorsitter van USB se

Adviesraad. Die skool is in 1964 gestig, en viervanjaar dertig jaar se sake-opvoeding.

KWV hits world’s top spotKWV’s 12 year BarrelSelect Brandy was lastweek named world-wide best brandy, win-ning the 2014 World-wide Brandy TrophyAward at this year’sprestigious Interna-tional Wine & SpiritCompetition (IWSC)awards ceremony inLondon.This follows closely

on KWV winning bestbrandy in the world atthe International Spir-itsChallenge (ISC) 2013with its KWV 15 Alam-bic Brandy, cementingits reputation as one ofthe most awardedBrandy producers inSouth Africa.Over 90 countries en-

tered this year’s IWSCcompetition, whichwas founded in 1969and is widely consid-ered the most prestig-ious independent com-petition in the world.“To win worldwide best brandy 2014 is the

highest accolade and demonstrates our brandyteam’s commitment to innovation and qualityof the highest standard,” says Pieter de Bod,master distiller at KWV. “The combination ofdetailed technical analysis and specialist judg-ing panels means that winning the world re-nowned IWSC competition is an exceptionalachievement, and to win a total of seven IWSCawards for all of our premium brandies is fan-tastic.”

De Bod continues:“The award is testimo-ny to KWV’s Crafts-manship in Brandyand, increasingly,KWV Brandy is beingrecognised as a credi-ble and formidablecompetitor to cognac.South African brandystandardsandprocess-es are onpar, if not bet-ter, than the equiva-lent Cognac standardswith the only differ-encebeing the locationfrom where the grapesthat provide the basewine for distillationare sourced.”IWSC award judges

commented that theKWV 12 presents itselfas deep, old gold andthatithasanattractivenose filled with driedapricot, raisins andspice.They also comment-

ed that the blend is asmooth, refined entry with a good balance ofmature notes and some vigour and that citrusand some tropical flavours enrich the mouth.They added that vanilla and cinnamon play animportant role as does the fine, old oak supportand long, mellow finish.De Bod says that KWV has won the trophy

for Best Brandy at IWSC 7 times and hasamassed some 470 awards and medals in justover 24 months - 300 of which were achieved inthe past year alone.
