VEGGIE GARDEN: SUPPLYING 600 MEALS EACH DAY

School grows own food

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

L

earners and educators atCavalleriaPri-

mary School in Scottsdene created their

own food garden to augment the

schools feeding scheme that feeds 600

learners per day.

OnMonday the school proudly showcased

their garden when Western Cape education

minister Debbie Schfer paid them a visit.

Schfer said it was extraordinary to see

what the school had created.

As reported last month, the rising cost of

certain food items such as maize as a result

of the drought we are experiencing, has al-

ready led to unexpected increases in costs

for feeding scheme food items, she said.

We are therefore encouraged to see that

some schools are creating innovative pro-

jects to further supplement their school feed-

ingneeds. This is an excellent example of the

kind of innovation that wewish to see in our

schools during these tough economic

times, she said.

She added that the Western Cape govern-

ment is committed to ensuring that poorer

learners continue to receive not just one, but

two nutritious meals at school every day.

Poverty and under-nutrition affect large

percentages of our population. And as a re-

sult, many learners arrive at school hungry.

It is a proven fact that you cannot teach a

hungry child.

This is why the Western Cape Govern-

ment is committed to ensuring that learners

frompoorer households receive not just one,

but two nutritious meals at school every

day.

The NDP (National Development Plan)

states that by 2030, feeding schemes in

schools should cover all children in need,

and provide food that is high in nutritional

content and rich in vitamins.

According to Schfer the Western Cape

province is on track to achieve this goal.

Our successful school nutrition pro-

gramme has expanded year on year to assist

more and more learners. In addition to sup-

plying food, the schemeencourages foodpro-

duction, for example, in school food gardens

and education on nutrition.

A total of 473 770 learners from 1015

schools currently receive two nutritious

meals in the Western Cape every day.

Menus are designed by dieticians to im-

prove the general nutritional status of the

children and consist of warm, cookedmeals.

There are five different menus for each

day of the week. The menus typically in-

clude rice, samp, soya mince, a protein,

fruit, vegetables, bread, jam, peanut butter

and cereals.

The feeding scheme at Cavalleria Primary

School provides for 330 learners from the

school, but the garden produces enough

supplementary food to feed 600 learners.

The garden was created in 2010, and pro-

duces supplementary fresh fruits and vege-

tables daily, such as tomatoes, figs, prunes,

plums, peaches, grapes, strawberries, egg-

plant, cabbage, carrots, tomato, cauliflower,

spinachand spring onions aswell as a varie-

ty of herbs.

School principal Hurshele Carolissen is

proud of whats been achievedwith the food

garden.

He says it has contributed to the improved

health of the learners, and benefitted his

school by providing healthy and organic

fruit and veggies almost daily.

Learners have improved concentration

in class, which has led to improved partici-

pation, which in turn has led to improved

results. The educators also use the garden

as an extension of their classrooms for spe-

cific lessons and concepts, he said.

Learners will often assist in the garden

and by doing so, expand their knowledge.

Many learners from the school have since

started their own food garden at home.

He has also noticed an improvement in

school attendance.

In addition to feeding their learners, the

school also donates surplus foodwhen it can

toneedyhouseholds and institutionswithin

the community.

This is a remarkable achievement and

one of which I am very proud. I must con-

gratulate the principal and his team at Ca-

valleria Primary School for their commit-

ment to this innovative and creative initia-

tive.

T

wo primary school learners were

caught in the act of shooting squirrels

with a bow and arrows.

A resident caught them red-handed in

Welgemoed on the local golf course just over

a week ago, hunting the tiny rodents.

It is very disturbing that we found two

Welgemoed Primary School boys dressed in

their school uniform, killing sweet, inno-

cent squirrels with a bow and arrow on the

golf course this week. They would not give

their names, but we took the bow and ar-

rows. Very cruel little boys and very dis-

turbing, the resident said on social media.

What followed was a frenzy from locals

who debated whether or not this was nor-

mal behaviour of two bored boys, or the

makings of two psychopaths who hurt little

animals for fun and games.

The school involvedoptednot to comment

as the incident happened outside their

school hours and premises, but TygerBur-

ger asked some other sources for their opin-

ion on the matter.

Dr Charl Davids is a psychologist and lec-

turer at the University of the Western Cape

and said there are two key issues at play

here. Yes, people say let boys be boys and

that is okay in some cases, but the question

is: how often do these children kill ani-

mals? he said. If they do this quite often,

there is a definite behavioural problem and

one should ask if a child can be this violent

and not consider the life of an animal, what

sort of grownup are they conditioned to be-

come,Davids said. In somecases thiskind

of violence leads to even greater violence

when these children grow up. If they hit,

beat or shoot someone later, people ask how

this could happen, but in the meantime we

are socialised to slide into that role, he add-

ed. Most of us took up a slingshot when we

were young, but most of us also let it go at

some point to take stock of what we were

doing.

Cape of Good Hope (CoGH) SPCA spokes-

person Belinda Abraham said: It is ex-

tremely disturbing that children are in-

volved in acts of cruelty towards animals.

Decades of research have shown that when

children are taught compassion for ani-

mals, they are more likely to become men

and women who are more humane, more

law abiding and in every respect more valu-

able citizens. It is for this very reason that

the CoGH SPCA has an education depart-

ment that reaches over 10 000 children an-

nually, bringing them the message of com-

passionand respect for animals.Ultimately,

this teaching should begin at home and is

the responsibility of parents, she said.

Abraham said they have had similar re-

ports, most recently that of the stoning of

a horse and a baboon.

Asked about the angle of this being seen

as sport, or a rite of passage, she was ada-

mant this was against all the CoGH SPCA

stood for. The SPCA is opposed to hunting.

In addition to this, the Animals Protection

Act 71 of 1962 2 (1) (a) is very clear on the

fact that any person who ill-treats, neglects,

tortures, maims or terrifies any animal

shall be guilty of an offence and liable on

conviction to a fine or imprisonment.

In this incidence however, the offenders

are underaged and therefore not prosecuta-

ble in terms of the law. I would however, en-

courage the parents of these boys to bring

them to the SPCA and allow us the opportu-

nity to influence these young minds.

@dezzierorke

A

s theirwoes continue at the Sassa ser-

vice office in Scottsdene, senior citi-

zens in Kraaifontein blatantly accuse

Sassa of ignorance.

Following the death of a senior citizen on

6 April, who slept outside this office to se-

cure a spot in the line the next day, Sassa

stated all clients who access Sassa contact

points for services are assisted on the day.

It is not necessary for any client to have

to sleep over at any Sassa contact point in

order to access services, saidSassa spokes-

person Shivani Wahab. She added that a

home visit can be scheduled at the nearest

contact point for clients who are not well.

One senior citizen, whowishes to remain

anonymous, lastweek toldTygerBurger the

spokespersonmust eitherbe ill-informedor

completely ignorant.

Six visits in two months

She said it took her six visits in two

months to this particular office to get two

children registered for Sassa grants.

It is a fact that the Sassa officials inform

the applicants at every session that Sassa

will not be able to assist all the people

present on the day, she said. This, she add-

ed, was either due to the lack of resources

or the fact that the officials are always late.

They arrive well after 09:00 and some-

times 10:00 at the venue. It takes them half

an hour or more to setup and then they will

sometimes leave early due to otherwork re-

lated commitments, she said.

During the long and tiresome wait one

canonlymarvel at someof the officials atti-

tude towards passing time between appli-

cants being processed. To top it all, the com-

pany that issues the Sassa cards is an out-

sourced company situated in Philippi.

These people are evenworse in terms of ser-

vice as they are always late, leave early, and

most of the time are either understaffed or

have malfunctioning equipment.

She says Sasssa cannot wish away the

fact that people are forced to sleep over at

the venue. Neither can they deny the fact

that people as in my case have stood in line

since 03:00 in the morning only to walk

away not serviced at the end of the day.

She says she has witnessed many desper-

ate applicants who were willing to pay resi-

dents in the area to stand in line for them.

Whether it is for the application or the

Sassa card, it happens all the time.Children

and pensioners are traumatised at the end

of the day because the facility is not de-

signed to facilitate huge crowds for lengthy

periods especially on hot days, she says.

Cancer patient sent away repeatedly

Another pensioner, who has cancer, has

been sent away several times in recent

weeks for trivial reasons.

My husband is very ill with cancer, yet

we were sent away because our affidavit

was in Afrikaans. We were told to come

back with the same statement in English,

she told TygerBurger distraughtly.

We have been battling for months now

to finalise our application and despite sev-

eral calls to Sassas national office, no help

was offered.

In response to these allegations Wahab

stated that application for a social grant re-

quires a number of stipulated documents to

be submitted.

While Sassa is committed to ensuring

that all applications are processed within

our standardised business process of one

day, in certain instances social grant appli-

cants do not bring along these required doc-

uments, andas a resultmighthave to access

a contact point more than once in order for

the application to be processed, she said.

According to her an application will be

finalised on the same day and the applicant

informed of the outcome, providing all the

required documentation is present at the

time of application. She also said the Sassa

regional office has taken note of these com-

plaints and will ensure that the contact

point is monitored by management, to ad-

dress all possible service delivery gaps and

to ensure effective management.

In respect of children accompanying

their parents for social grant applications

it is required by law that for a Child Sup-

port Grant application, the child is with the

parent at the time of the application. The

child must be enrolled on the system if the

application is successful. This in turn pre-

vents fraud in the system. Sassa has always

discouraged potential and current benefici-

aries from sleeping over at any Sassa con-

tact point. Additional staff have been de-

ployed to this point to assist with the high

influx and service delivery gaps.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

R

esidents of the northern suburbs of

Cape Town are making a desperate

plea to the City of Cape Town to ad-

dress the ever growing problem of vagran-

cy in residential areas.

This was evident at a recent budget din-

ner at the Kuils River Golf Club, where

community leaders peppered executive

deputy mayor Ian Neilson with questions.

The most prominent issue was this, as

posed by Brackenfell CPF chairman Sean

McCleland:

What is the City going to do in the next

financial year to bolster law enforcement

numbers to adequately enforce bylaws in-

stituted to control problems arising with

vagrants?

Theanswer to this question,however, re-

mains vague and residents seem to be

caught between the devil and the deep blue

sea, having either the police or the Citys

Law Enforcement agency to turn to, each

presenting its own problems.

Neilson affirmed this position when he

stated that the police, rather than Law En-

forcement, represent the primary service

responsible for the criminal behaviour in

terms of vagrants.

The City of Cape Town only has 3000

peace officers, which include traffic,Metro

and Law Enforcement, whereas the police

have 22 000 officers in the city, he said.

Due to the Citys limited resources it

cannot take full responsibility for dealing

with criminal acts committed by vagrants.

We as an administration have to focus on

social solutions when it comes to manag-

ing vagrants and the City is heavily in-

volved in addressing that part of the issue

through its interventions by the Citys so-

cial development department, he said,

adding that patience is needed as this is a

very slow process.

In the last seven years much progress

has been made to reduce the number of

street people but we are slowly working to-

wards solutions.

The police, on the other side, have in

many instances over the years referred

complaining residents to the City when it

comes to vagrants.

And herein lies the problem, says

McCleland.

Neither party wants to take accounta-

bility for the problem. Loitering, for in-

stance, is not a criminal act, neither is

walking down the street with a trolley. But

what happens is this: Law Enforcement

gets called out for vagrants but when they

search their bags or trolleys they find a

dangerousweapon like a knife. Immediate-

ly it becomes a criminal situation where

Law Enforcement has to step back and the

police have to be called in. Is it not true

then that the police should have been there

in the first place?

McCleland says the City of Cape Town

and the police have to give clear guidelines

to community structures such as neigh-

bourhood watches, as to what law is in-

fringed on at various instances.

A meeting to discuss strategies around

this problem will take place this week.

The police and local government au-

thorities will be present at this meeting in

order to implement workable solutions.

As residents we are heavily burdened

by ever increasing rates and taxes and yet

the Citywill not hold themselves accounta-

ble to make sure bylaws they have put in

place are successfully enforced.

Vagrants: residents are desperate

AVRIL FIELIES

Nie almal in Suid-Afrika kan daar-

op roem dat hy in twee Europese

lande as oorsese beroepskrieket-

speler sy krieketloopbaan daar

voortgesit het nie.

Die eer kom Jeandr Jumat van

Kuilsrivier toe, want nie net het hy

in 2010 en 2011 in Engeland klub-

krieket gespeel nie, maar hy is van

26 April tot 6 September ook in Ne-

derlandse klubkrieket in aksie.

Mygoeie vriend, Pieter Seelaar,

van die Nederlandse nasionale

span het in 2013 saam met my vir

die krieketklub Irene Villagers in

Pretoria gespeel ter voorbereiding

van die Wreldbekertoernooi in

Bangladesh in 2014.

Ons het gesels en toe ek hom s

dat ek nog net in Engeland gespeel

het, het hy aanbeveel dat ek dit

moet oorweeg om in Nederland te

kom speel, want ek het potensiaal

en sal goed inpas by hul klubkrie-

ket-opset. Ek gaan nou in Rotter-

dam vir die VOC Rotterdam-krie-

ket-akademie die speler of afrigter

wees en ek sien uit na die nuwe uit-

daging, s hy.

In 2010 het Jeandr vir Hastings

enSt. LeonardsPriory-klub inOos-

Sussex en in 2011 vir Brooke en

Distrikte in Norfolk gespeel. Jean-

dr speel vir die krieketklub Spes

Bona in Stellenbosch, wat by die

Boland-krieketvereniging geaffili-

eer is.

By die klub is hy die senior afrig-

ter en hy bestuur ook die sportont-

wikkelingsprogram Stellenbosch

Hub Centre in Cloetesville. In

Maart vanjaar is hy gekies vir die

SA Plattelandse elftal wat van 8 tot

10 April aan die driehoekige reeks

om die Future Cup in Kimberley

deelgeneem het. Die ander twee

spanne was die SA universiteite-

en SA Franchise-akademiespan.

Aanvanklik het eknie inmyself

en aanmy vermons geglo nie. On-

aangename huislike omstandighe-

de het gekeer dat ek nie my beste

op die sportveld kon gee nie.

Ek is nou ook tot meer in staat

deur God wat my krag gee en ek

hoef nie meer myself aan mense te

bewys nie; ek is goed genoeg.

Ekhet tot die besef gekomnadat

ek n preek vanwyle pastoorMyles

Munroe bygewoon het. Sy kennis

van die Bybel en sy praktiese ma-

niere om die Woord in jou lewe toe

te pas, het die ommekeer in my le-

we meegebring.

Sy preek uit Matt.6:33 het my

sienswyse teenoor die lewe veran-

der en daartoe gelei dat ekmy lewe

aan die Here wy. God sal in al jou

behoeftes voorsien,maar soek eers

Sy Koninkryk en geregtigheid en

al die ander dinge sal jou toegevoeg

word, s Jeandr.

Hy is n veelsydige speler in die

tradisie van Jacques Kallis en

hoop omdieselfde hoogtes asKallis

in sy loopbaan te bereik.

Ekkolf op nommer 4 en is nme-

dium-snelbouler. My ander twee

sporthelde is Tiger Woods en Da-

vid Beckham. Ek bewonder Woods

vir sy deursettingsvermo endissi-

pline ten opsigte van sy gholf en

Beckham vir sy harde werk op en

van die veld en die manier hoe hy

aantrek classy sport fashion, s

hy.

Jeandr rig rugby en krieket af

by die Laerskool Bastion in Brac-

kenfell en wanneer hy nie krieket

speel nie, speel hy n potjie gholf

sonder n voorgee vir ontspanning.

Ek spot altyd en s ek is die gro-

ter weergawe van Woods, sonder

al sy prestasies. Ek hou ook van

visvang en om langs die see te stap

om my kop skoon te kry, s hy.

Hy het sy skoolloopbaan aan die

Laerskool Paratus en Horskool

Waterkloof in Pretoria voltooi

voordat hy in 2014 terug verhuis

n Paar dae tevore is 12 dronk bestuur-

Met die eersgenoemde operasie wat uit-

beboet vir verkeersoortredings, het die ver-

keersbeampteMorgan van Rensburg verle-

vergadering by die Kraaifonteinse munisi-

pale geboue gemeld.

Die motoris met die hoogste bloed/alko-

holvlak was n vrou wat sewe keer oor die

limiet getoets het, het hy ges.

Daarbenewens is 129motoriste beboet vir

spoedoortredings. In 41 gevalle hetmotoris-

te vinniger as 140 km/h inOkavangolaan se

The City of Cape Town urges motorists to

act timeously to renew their vehicle licence

discs in time.

Gerhard Fourie, chairperson of Subcoun-

cil 7 (Koeberg), urgesmotorists in his chair-

persons report at the monthly subcouncil

meeting last Monday to act in a timeous

manner to ensure the discs are renewed

within the grace period.

Motorists are reminded that national

legislation has come into effect which re-

quires proof of residencewhen applications

are made for licence disc renewals.

If motorists are planning on renewing

their licence discs at one of our municipal

centres, the City urges them to please make

copies of their identity document and proof

of residenceas thiswill speedup theprocess

at the counter, Fourie said.

Lede van die Daniel and Friends-stigting vir

ouers met spesiale behoefte-kinders het on-

langs n slypskool bygewoon om te leer hoe

omop te tree in geval van n voertuigkaping.

Dit is aangebied deur die veiligheidsdes-

kundige Robert Martin van Emergency SA.

Martin het 21 jaar ondervinding in die vei-

ligheidsektormet opleiding in die Suid-Afri-

kaanse Polisiediens se taakmag- n SWAT-

spanne in Seattle in die VSA.

Wat geweldig interessant was, is dat die

mees algemene wapen om n kar se venster

te breek n gewone sparkplug is. Dit ver-

splinter die venster. Een manier om dit te

voorkom, is om byvoorbeeld altyd met jou

venster op n klein skrefie oop te ry die ven-

ster sal dannie breeknie, s Lianie leRoux.

Ons het ook gehoor watter soort kapings

daar is enwat die kriminele se taktiek is. Ro-

bert se sessie was geweldig interessant en

baie deeglik. Hy het ons ingelig hoe om op

te tree om kaping te voorkom, en waar die

gewildste plekke is vir kapings.

Die belangrikste punte om te onthou is om

roetine te vermy en altyd jou geliefdes te laat

weet as jy op pad is.

Moeniewaardevolle itemsoop enbloot in

jou voertuig laat l nie en jou selfoon moet

ook altyd in jou broeksak wees, dat indien

jy geskaak en afgelaai word, jy iemand kan

bel.

Robert het ook gemaan om rustig te wees,

geen skielike bewegings te maak nie en vir

die kaper te s van elke ding wat jy doen,

soos jou sitplekgordel losmaak, en uitklim

of om agtertoe oor te skuif om jou baba uit

die karstoeltjie te haal.

Videos van voorbeelde van kapings is ook

gewys en die kursus is afgesluit met n de-

monstrasie.

T

he Clothing Bank, a non-profit organi-

sation (NPO) that uses excess stock

from large clothing enterprises to

transform the lives of unemployed mothers

trapped in a cycle of poverty, has won the

2016 Schwab Foundations Social Entrepre-

neur of the Year award.

The NPOs Winelands office in Paarl has

been actively involved in empowering

women from areas such as Kraaifontein in

the northern suburbs of Cape Town.

Every year, the Schwab Foundation for

SocialEntrepreneurship the sister organi-

sation of the World Economic Forum con-

siders thousands of nominations from

around the world.

This year only 11 organisations, includ-

ing The Clothing Bank (TCB) were deemed

to have met the criteria for the award.

Said Katherine Milligan, director and

head of the Schwab Foundation: Social en-

trepreneursare crucial to theglobal conver-

sation about inclusive growth; they are in-

novators who use market forces and busi-

ness discipline to provide solutions for local

problems and improve the lives of low-in-

come and marginalised people.

Speaking at a function in Cape Town last

week, Dr Francois Bonnici, the director of

BerthaCentre for Social InnovationandEn-

trepreneurshipatUCTsGraduateSchool of

Business, said The Clothing Bank was a

very powerful example of successful social

entrepreneurship.

The Clothing Bank has clearly demon-

strated that we can use business models ef-

fectively in working on key social challen-

ges, and has shown leadership in the sector

by focusing on measuring how their work

improves the lives of the people they serve.

The initiative is an outstanding benchmark

and role model for many social entrepre-

neurs in South Africa, he added.

In the six years since its establishment by

Tracey Chambers and Tracey Gilmore, and

using excess stock donated by local retail-

ers, TCB has trained over 1135 women to es-

tablish micro enterprises. Collectively,

these women have generated profits of over

R38m at an average of R4100 per month

each.

We are extremely grateful for the sup-

port and encouragement of our sponsors

and retail partners Woolworths, Edcon,

Pick n Pay Clothing, Mr Price and Clicks

aswell as the Jobs Fund, the IDC, OldMutu-

al Foundation and the European Union.

The success of our projects, and the dif-

ference we are able to make to the lives of

so many families would not be possible

without their ongoing, generous support.

The award from the Schwab Foundation is

an acknowledgement of this, said Cham-

bers.

Themoney thewomenearn through their

micro-enterprises is used to feed, clothe and

educate their families, as well as to stimu-

late other township businesses.

Honouring heritage step by step

EARL HAUPT

@earlhaupt

T

he annual Slave Route Chal-

lenge, which sees runners

taking on a route that encom-

passes an array of South Africas

most historical sites, has become a

favourite on the calendar of novice

and elite runners alike.

The race, of which TygerBurger

is a media sponsor, takes place on

Mothers Day (Sunday 8 May).

Event spokesperson Fatima Al-

lie is extremely passionate about

this race.

Born in the Bo-Kaap, Allie was

raised in Walmer Estate and went

to school in District Six. She is a

self-professed defendant of the

Cape Malays.

When it comes to the Slave

Route Challenge itself, we look at

our ancestorswho came from Indo-

nesia, Java and Malaysia. They

were the ones who came with all

the skills; they were the builders.

So my ancestors were not slaves

per s; my ancestors were exiled

from Indonesia to the Cape, says

Allie.

She goes on to say that because

the slaves were forced to work and

interact with other labourers

brought to the area, that is how all

the cultures started tomix and that

as a result started to weave the fab-

ric which meshes South Africas

rich history.

If you look around, the oldest

standing building is the Castle of

Good Hope. The Castle of Good

Hope was built by the slaves. Look

at City Hall and the Grand Parade

all of these iconic and old places

and structures in Cape Town were

all built by the slaves. Then you re-

alise that there are somany histor-

ical sites throughout Cape Town

that people did not even know of,

adds Allie.

Besides the historical aspect the

race affords itself to, Allie says

there is an amazing atmosphere of

togetherness on race day.

It is the spirit of Ubuntu that

you feel. You will see a grandmoth-

er who has never ever walked (in

an event) in her entire life. She is

now walking the 5km with her

grandchildren because her daugh-

ter andher husband are going to be

running the 10kmwhile their teen-

ager is running the 21km, so this

is a family event. It is about people

coming together from all walks of

life, all religious denominations,

from Cape Town and from out of

CapeTown, from the continent and

even overseas, she says.

Allie reminded those who still

wish to participate in the 21km

race to enter online no later than

Sunday 24 April. She confirmed

that there will still be opportuni-

ties to enter the other three events

(5km fun run/walk, 10km run and

10km big walk) on Sunday 1 May

as well as Friday 6 and Saturday 7

May at Cape Towns City Hall.

Come and explore this whole

journey of the Slave Route Chal-

lenge where you run through the

Castle, District Six, and Gardens,

through the Bo-Kaap and the Sea

Point area andbackonto theGrand

Paradewhereyou can see the beau-

ty of Cape Town. What other coun-

try can you stand on the Grand Pa-

rade and look to see Table Moun-

tain, Devils Peak, and Signal Hill

and then you see Table Bay? Show

me another place that is as perfect

as Cape Town, exclaimed Allie.

Relay race aimed at tackling racism

You too can join the fight against racism

asPeoplesPost, sister publicationofTyger-

BurgerandCycle ofLifehost the firstRelay

Against Racism next month.

Taking place on Saturday 28 May at the

Green Point Athletics Stadium, the fun

walk will comprise 22 rounds of walking

around the Green Point athletics track,

with each lap representing one round for

each year of our democracy.

The key objective of this event is to

unite ourpeople against all formsof racism

and related intolerances. It also encourag-

es people to walk and live a healthier life.

More importantly, it is an opportunity for

families, friends and colleagues to come to-

gether, have a fun-filled day and send out

a powerful message against racism, says

Cycle of Life director, Rozario Brown.

A host of activities are being planned to

ensure the event offers something for the

entire family, including the young and

young at heart. Children can look forward

to some face painting activities, a jumping

castle and exciting spot prizes. Adults

stand a chance of winning some amazing

spot prizes, including a trip for two on the

world famousBlue Train, return flights be-

tween Johannesburg and the USA and

many more.

Our master of ceremonies will enter-

tain the audiences throughout the day and

during the actual fun walk, while the DJ

in attendance will provide some of the best

music to ensure the right mood exists for

the day. We urge participants to bring

along any form of handmade posters, flags

and banners, denouncing all forms of ra-

cism, says Rozario.

Organisers would like to encourage par-

ticipants to wear black and white sports

wear on the day.

We have invited a number of high pro-

file celebrities to participate in this impor-

tant event. This week we can proudly an-

nounce that well-known Cape Town diva

Salome Damon will be playing her part in

fighting racism and participating in this

exciting walk, says Brown. Salome is

known across South Africa for her breath-

taking performance as part of the famous

Madame Zingara team and is a hugely pop-

ular star on some of the biggest stages

across the country.

We urge people to enter the Relay

Against Racism Family Walk early and

lets walk away from racism.

Entries are now open and will cost R25

for children between the age of three and

13 and pensioners, and R40 for everyone

else. Entries are limited to 3500 partici-

pants and online registration closes on Sat-

urday 7 May.

Once you have entered online, print

your application form and bring along

your proof of payment to the Green Point

Athletics Stadium on Friday 27 May in or-

der to be registered and to collect your

event passes and free gift.

People over the age of 18 who enter the

walk on or before Saturday 7 May can win

10 TYGERBURGER Kraaifontein Woensdag, 27 April 2016HOOFARTIKELBLAD

Two sides to

every story;

only one truth

There are always two sides to every

story.

Theres the side we see, and then

theres the side we shouldnt.

In a world of capitalism and corpora-

tions, one has to wonder how much of

the information we consume is being

force-fed to us and how much is truly

objective reporting.

In the US, for example, a number of

independent broadcasters have been

gaining momentum with the help of the

internet.

With no influence

from advertisers

(or the presidential

candidates they

support), the

stories they report

on and how they

report on them, are

vastly different

from mainstream

broadcasters.

It was BBC

executive John

Reith who first

outlined the role of

journalists as to

educate, inform and entertain. Education

and information are the two most valua-

ble commodities of the modern age, yet,

very often, we are too busy looking for

entertainment to pay attention to these

elements.

More importantly, as early as 1787,

print journalism is often referred to as

The Fourth Estate, which, in a nut-

shell, refers to a political or social force

that isnt always officially recognised.

The medias role in changing the world

for the better in the past is undeniable.

Here, for example, photographers like

Sam Nzima showed the rest of the world

the reality of Apartheid South Africa,

even when the government was blocking

these images from the local press.

A look at the history books shows that

governmental impact on the media is not

uncommon, often with disastrous effects.

The Nazis ruled their people with the

help of Joseph Goebbels and his propa-

ganda while a string of American presi-

dents tried to control how their citizens

got their news about the Vietnam War.

The only difference between the 1940s,

1970s and now, is the shift of power. As

capitalism started to steadily rise in

popularity and influence after the Second

World War, the business sector slowly

gained more power over the people who

should have been governing them.

A colleague once pointed out that every

news story should be measured by who

stands to benefit most from it. The news

looks a little different when you start

considering it with this question in mind.

n Gesaghebbende onafhanklike

navorsingsentrum, die Centre

of Development and Enterprise

(CDE), het in Januarie

gerapporteer oor The real cost

of compliance: The impact of

South African regulatory

requirements on independent

schools. Hulle bevind onder

meer dat die private skoolsek-

tor hopeloos oorgereguleer is

en veel hor eise aan private

skole gestel word as aan

staatskole; en dat die koste van

die rompslomp om n private

skool te registreer dit feitlik

onmoontlik maak om klein

private skole te registreer.

Hulle bereken byvoorbeeld

dat die werklike koste om n

private skool te registreer

tussen R270 000 en R290 000

beloop, ongeag die grootte van

die skool. Dit vreet hulpbronne

op wat vir opvoeding bedoel is.

Maar dit plaas ook registra-

sie buite die bereik van enige

mikroskooltjie. Dit is n

skending van sulke skooltjies

se wetlike en grondwetlike reg

om te bestaan.

Dieselfde owerheid wat

hierdie laste op private onder-

wys plaas, bedryf een van die

slegste skoolstelsels ter wreld,

volgens sy eie verslae. Die

gevolg is honderdduisende

desperate ouers soos Roelof

Coertzen wie se brief op 13

April (TB Bellville) verskyn

het. Hulle bel en e-pos my

daagliks.

Dit moet ons dus nie verbaas

dat daar letterlik duisende

onwettige private skooltjies

in al die gemeenskappe in die

land is nie selfs in die

armstes. In n vorige ondersoek

het CDE bevind dat hierdie

skooltjies beter resultate lewer

as beide staats- en geregistreer-

de private skole.

n Mens slaan jou hande

saam oor die pronkende

politici en opgeblase ampte-

naartjies wat probeer jag maak

op hierdie skooltjies wat slegs

bestaan omdat dieselfde politici

en amptenare sulke vrot

Kobus of Kuils River queried

the double increase recorded for

his water usage (Hoekom

skielik die groot waterlesing,

TB, 20 April). My latest meter

reading also reflects exactly

double the amount recorded last

month, amounting to a cost of

over R900 extra. My December

and January payments differed

by R1000, so it seems to seesaw

from month to month regard-

less of efforts to contain costs.

R427.13 has been charged for

sewerage. My previous payment

was R137.25. I know that this is

calculated as a percentage of

the water usage but I am a lone

pensioner with no domestic

help. My cistern is not leaking.

I have not had diarrhoea nor

am I incontinent but it seems

the toilet is another luxury I

must forego if I am to continue

living in my own home.

The meter readings are all

recorded as being actual

readings but I question the

validity of these statements, the

honesty of the meter readers

and the powers that manage the

City of Cape Town. The crea-

tion of a mega city obviously

creates a bigger basket for

greater profit from ill gotten

gains. Kobus and I are surely

W

at beteken dit om God se kind

te wees?

Dt is die ondertoon vanpas-

toor Lodewyk Spies van Sonstraal se nuwe

boek: Bid s vir n wonderwerk.

Lodewyk het die 40-dag-gebedsuitdaging

in rekordtyd geskryf nadat hy n uitdaging

van Carpe Diem Media ontvang het.

Toe hymet sy debuutwerk begin het, het

Lodewyk geweet dat hy sy idees doeltref-

fend moes kommunikeer.

Mense is besig; meeste mense is nie lus

om n 700-blad-boek te lees nie hulle het

nie die tyd of kopspasie daarvoor nie.

Dis weens di feit dat hy besluit het om

die boek s te skryf dat die leser so twee

blaaieperdagoor n tydperkvan40daekan

lees.

Ek dink daars genoeg voorbeelde uit

die Bybel oor waar 40 dae vandaan kom,

s Lodewyk.

Vroeg in boek

Sommervroeg indieboekword lesers ge-

vra om n lysie wonderwerke wat hulle no-

dig het, saam te stel en te rangskik van

klein wonderwerke tot grotes. In sy boek

konfronteer Lodewyk lesers met hul lysies

en hoe mense deur die hekkies voor hulle

kan kom.

Vir hom is dit belangrik dat mense ver-

staan wat dit vir hulle beteken om n kind

van God te wees en Bid s vir n wonder-

werk is gemik daarop om lesers te leer oor

wie hulle is en hoe omhulmanier van dink

te herposisioneer.

Hierdie is nie n resepteboek nie; ek wil

vir jou verduidelik hoewerkdie kombuis.

Lodewyk s die boek praat meer oor ge-

bedsinfrastruktuur.

Een van my gunsteling-onderwerpe

waaroor ek praat is WhatsApp-gebedsket-

tings hoor God jou oor jy baie is, of hoor

Hy jou omdat jy glo?

Uiteindelikmoet jy genoeg selfvertroue

h om te s: As ek regtig glo Hys my pa,

dan kan ek op n baie ander manier met

Hom interaksie h.

Verhouding

Lodewyk voel dat godsdiens dikwels

mense se verhouding met God professio-

neel maak en dat daar geen ruimte vir vry-

moedigheid is nie. n Mens moet volgens

hom dieselfde verhouding met God h as

wat gewone kinders met hul pas het.

Nog n onderwerp in die boek is die

vraag: Het my gebede ten doel om God se

arm te draai?

Lodewyk s Christene vra soms vir goed

wat God waarskynlik klaar vir hulle ge-

doen het.

Oor jy nie weet hoe om Hom op Sy

woord te vat nie, sien jy nie die realiteit

van daai goed in jou lewe uitkom nie.

Wanopvatting

Met Bid s vir n wonderwerk wil Lode-

wyk die wanopvatting dat wonderwerke

soos dobbel is endatmenseniekonsekwen-

sie in hul lewens hoef in te bou nie, weer-

spreek.

Hy sal bietjie verder oor die boek uitbrei

wannneer hy op Saterdag 30 April n Bid

anders, leef anders-slypskool by DAria in

Durbanville aanbied.

Die oggend begin 08:30 vir 09:00 en Lode-

wyk s hy gaan deur die loop van die og-

gend van die boek se kernbegrippe be-

spreek en mense aanmoedig om deur die

uitdaging te werk.

Oefen op die skietbaan sodat as jy in die

oorlog kom, weet jy hoe om te skiet.

DESIRE RORKE

@dezzierorke

While attending a preschool is vitally impor-

tant for a childs development, it is a luxury

that parents in informal settlements cannot

afford.

The first time these youngsters enter an

educational facility is at age six or seven to

start Grade 1.

We strongly believe that this is too late

as a childs brain develops optimally during

the first seven years of life. It is a time of rap-

id cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional

andmotor development, says Juanita Smit,

founder of Rolemodels Foundation.

Founded six years ago, the charity organi-

sation set out to make a change in the lives

of children suffering in inhumane condi-

tions.

Supported purely by donations from the

community, they are building the Imfundo

Educare Centre, an early childhood develop-

ment facility, with three classrooms for the

children of Mandela Square in the Zwele-

themba informal settlement in Worcester.

We have a dream; a dream tomake it bet-

ter for the next generation, says Mrs Cape

Town Diane Nel, an ambassador of the foun-

dation and resident of Brackenfell.

Rolemodels Foundation hosts philan-

thropic pageants across SouthAfrica, which

serves as fund-raisers for the foundation.

Beauty without a purpose is not beauti-

ful. We believe that it is important to teach

the youth that they can indeedmake a differ-

ence in the community, by getting involved

in constructive projects, says Nel.

Like Nelson Mandela, we believe educa-

tion is the most powerful weapon to change

the world.

Over the last two years Nel, who was rais-

ing funds for the cause, was a regular visitor

to this informal settlement where children

live in the harshest of conditions.

Besides the ultimate benefit to the chil-

dren in this community, this project has also

created many jobs for unemployed men in

the region.

We particularly focused on the needs of

children who cannot change their circum-

stances or the cycle of poverty into which

they were born, says Smit.

It is ourmission to intervene in impover-

ished communities to create self sustainabil-

ity through education to ultimately eradi-

cate poverty, she says.

The word Imfundo is derived from the

Nguni language and directly translated

means the acquisition of knowledge and ed-

ucation.

Nel says the realities of life in these com-

munities are heart-wrenching.

We live in a beautiful country, but there

are still too many people living below the

bread line in third-world conditions. Be-

sides providing food for them, we want to

make a lasting difference that will have a

positive impact on the next generation, she

says.

To do this, we realised that we needed to

start at the foundation years of a childs life.

By trying to assist an adult who has grown

up in an impoverished community, we are

only really treating the symptom, not the

cause.

For this reasonwedecided to concentrate

our efforts on providing facilities that will

give young children a solid foundation.

Early childhood development between the

ages of three and six has become an absolute

necessity.

Children who start their school career

without preschool education, start off, in

Grade 1, at a disadvantage. This handicap

will follow the child through his school ca-

reer and eventually manifest in learning

and behavioural problems, says Smit.

She adds it is hardly surprising that so

many of these children drop out of school at

a young age and opt to make a life begging

on the streets.

We need to create a new norm for them.

It has beenproven overmany centuries, that

what a young child experiences in their

formative years, will manifest in their teen-

age years.

Smit says the foundation does not current-

ly receive any government or corporate

funding; it relies solely on the income from

thepageants andkindvolunteers in the com-

munity.

We need to continue initiating and sus-

taining more Imfundo Projects, so that we

can reach as many children as possible.

Long termplans she says, include an after-

care/homework facility, where these chil-

dren can go to for assistancewith homework

and assignments.

Furthermore, the foundation is in the

process of establishing an agricultural

project in Worcester, where crops will be

grown to provide for the meals at the Imfun-

do Educare and create an income for the

project.

The farm project provides the Worcester

Imfundo Educare with some of its fresh pro-

duce, whilst ultimately also providing train-

ing for school leavers in agricultural skills.

Cape Town, hosted by Rolemodels Founda-

M

et sy nuwe country-album, If you

could read my mind, is die Afrikaan-

se superster Steve Hofmeyr die per-

fekte trekpleister vir vanjaar se Bakgat

Country-opskop.

DiekonsertwordopSondag 5 Junie vir die

vyfde keer in GrandWest se arena aange-

bied. Steve gaan die verhoog met plaaslike

country-sterre soos Bobby Angel, Manie

Jackson, Dennis East, TommyOliver, Lance

James, Barbara Ray, Rocking Horse en die

nuwelinge Pieter Mohr en Dee-Dee deel.

Vir Steve is country-musiek so natuurlik

soos braai, boerewors en Afrikaans.

Dis dan geen wonder dat hy oor sy meer

as 25 jaar lange loopbaan baie met di mu-

siekstyl op sy Toeka- en Kris Kristofferson-

albums geksperimenteer het nie.

Dis omdat hy so sentimeteel en boonop

trots daarop is dat country-musiek so na aan

sy hart l. Ek hou van die liefde, ek haat

die afwesigheid daarvan en ek is super-nos-

talgies, verduidelik hy. Dis alles country

se domein daai.

If you could read my mind bestaan uit 15

liedjies wat deur die hoogaangeskrewe ver-

vaardiger Juan Floors Oosthuizen opge-

neem is. Van die liedjies is bekende country-

treffers, terwyl ander liedjies nuwe country-

baadjies gegee is.

Dit is sommer n lang lys waarmee ek al

lank vroetel, vertel Steve, maar oral waar

hy gekom het was daar n vriend of kennis

met n lekker country-voorstel.

Teach Your Children was byvoorbeeld

die Coleske-broers se idee en Drift Away

was Pat Symcox se bydrae.

Steve s dit lyk asof daar nog baie country

in sy onmiddellike toekoms is. If you could

read my mind staan amper al klaar by dub-

belplatinum-status. Suid-Afrika het weer

eens gepraat. Ek luister graag.

Aanhangers sal n kans kry om van Steve

se nuwe liedjies te hoor wanneer hy by die

Bakgat Country-opskop optree.

Ek het my ses gunsteling-liedjies gekies

om in die Kaap te kom doen.

Steve bring sy CDs saam en s hy sien uit

na sy eerste country-stop suid van die Ka-

roo.

Die Stormers is glo baie dankbaar dat

Die Bloubul nie op die Country-CD is nie.

Steve s hy sien ook uit om die ander Bak-

gat Country-opskop-kunstenaars op Sondag

5 Junie te sien, veral die oueriges wat my

steun al jare geniet.

Ek salueer hulle al jare en sal graag in

hul spore wil volg, s hy verder.

V Vanjaar se Bakgat Country-opskop beloof om n

middag vol vermaak vir die hele gesin te bied. Die

aksie begin om 15:00 in GrandWest se arena. Kaar-

tjies vir die vertoning kos tussen R135 en R175 by

Computicket en spesiale pryse is beskikbaar vir kin-

ders en blokbesprekings van meer as 10 kaartjies.

Steve Hofmeyr s hy sien daarna uit om sy

nuwe country-liedjies in die Kaap te sing.

ArtscapeTheatre andJKProductions are

gearing up to present themuch anticipat-

ed Dr John Kanis Missing in May.

The piece was an acting and directing

debut for the legendary playwright when

it premiered at the Baxter Theatre in

2014. The presentation of the piece is also

a celebration of the doctors lifes work

and will run concurrently with his set

work productionNothing But The Truth.

At the same time, Kani, who was

awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award

at the 2015 FleurDuCapTheatreAwards,

can also be seen on the big screen in the

blockbuster Captain America: Civil War,

in which he plays King TChaka, father

of TChalla.

Well-knowndirector JaniceHoneyman

has once again teamed up with Kani for

his latest hit play.

The story follows the life of RobertKha-

lipa (played by Kani) who has been living

in exile in Stockholm, Sweden, for over

30 yearswithhiswife,AnnaOlson (Susan

Danford) and their daughter Ayanda

(Buhle Ngaba).

Going home finally becomes a reality

for the family after Nelson Mandelas re-

lease from prison, but instead of celebrat-

ing, the situation threatens to tear the

Khalipha family apart as Robert faces the

isolation of not being called back to South

Africa by the ANC to be part of negotia-

tions. What follows is a plot full of in-

trigue, lies, back stabbing, conspiracy

and political in-fighting.

V The production will be staged from Monday 9

to Saturday 14May and tickets cost betweenR40

and R80 from Computicket.
