DISABILITY: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS

Bears give hope

MAGRIET THERON

@magrietron

T

errible Palsy. This is what the 9-year-

oldNimoe deHoopwith Cerebral Palsy

(CP) thought her disability was called.

Nimoe is one of 4 000 people in South Africa

with CP. She suffered from a lack of oxygen

when she was born.

No-one understands Terrible Palsy bet-

ter than Lesley Potgieter, a mother, wife,

author, ex-teacher and Edgemead resident

living with CP who is determined to change

this perception.

Just because you have CP, it does notme-

an you wont be the worlds next astro-phys-

icist, Lesley says. The question here is

What are you capable of, and what will you

be capable of if we make some changes?,

she asks.

One of Lesleys projects to help children

with CP to discover their potential, is the

Aware Bear Helen. Helen is a bear with CP.

She visits disabled children for two weeks

at a time to help them better understand and

cope with their situation. She travels with

a journal, and each child contributes to the

journalwith stories and pictures of the visit.

Helen was created after Lesley became in-

volved with the American Awareness Bear

Association as a writer, writing letters to

children with disabilities on behalf of a soft

toy with a disability that goes out to visit

children with the same disability.

Changing the perception

The South African society is not ready to

deal with disability, says Carl. He says he

loves to take his family to the movies. The

cinemas at N1 City, however, have been re-

done recently, but for all the grandeur, there

is only two wheelchair seats.

And one is the worst seat in the whole

theatre. You are halfway in the isle, you sit

right under the light, and this, the Potgie-

ters say, symbolises the way society sees the

disabled.

As soon as a baby with a disability is

born, everybody goes quiet. You are placed

in a private room. People talk in hushed voi-

ces. There is anegative connotation fromthe

get go, instead of this is a gift, she says.

FROM PAGE 1

Despite spending her whole life with no sen-

sation in the right side of her body, Lesley

was able to complete high school in amains-

tream school, because her body responded

so well to treatment, but she still had to face

many challenges.

If a teacher does not have remedial back-

ground, it is very difficult to understand

what a child with special needs really needs.

I was always in trouble for not being able to

draw a straight line with a ruler, simply be-

cause one cannot do thatwith one hand.And

the physical limitations of children with CP

can be countless, she says.

Lesley finished school and became a tea-

cher herself and married the love of her life,

Carl. They have two boys, Josh and Adam

who are 12 and 11.

Five years ago, she suffered amajor stroke

and her body lost its ability to compensate

for her disability. According to Carl, every-

thing changed after that. Lesley had no

speech left and she could not walk anymore.

But by doing yoga and excercises in the pool,

she slowly fought her way back to being mo-

bile again.

Today she can move around the house on

her own, but drives amotorised scooter once

she goes out. Her speech has partially retur-

ned, but inmany cases Carl has to translate.

But they are not interested in the blame

game. Instead Lesley uses her energy for the

CP cause.

Small children do not know they are dif-

ferent. But once you are a teenager with CP

you not only realise you are different, you

realise you are REALLY different, she says

Yes, I am different, but I am not alone.

This is the message of Lesleys brainchild,

Helen.

I liked it so much that you understand

how tricky it is to walk and run on wobbly

legs and how braces and splints sometimes

hurt, writes one child.

Helen allows children to advocate for

themselves. One pro-active parent took her

CP child to the shops with her and Helen

went with. People started talking to the

child, because Helen had her T-shirt on that

said Hi I am Helen, I have Cerebral Palsy

and the child started answering questions

on behalf of Helen. The mother was amazed

at how much the child actually understood

about the situation, Lesley says.

Because she is an inanimate object, she

can help the child to extend himself, Lesley

says.

Helen has been great for Kim in that she

has found a voice to speakwithwithoutwor-

rying about repercussions on herself, becau-

se it is Helen who is talking, not Kim, the

mother of one of Helens guest children wri-

tes.

In the past 14 months, Helen has visited

17 children and three schools throughout

South Africa.

The children and families who read her

journals, can see stories and pictures of

other children with disabilities and it helps

them to understand that they are not alone.

Almost every child gives her something,

beads, a party dress, a pair of panties. She

once came home with a toothbrush, Lesley

says.

Lesley understands the process. She

helps the kids set goals and achieving them.

The idea is to empower people and to break

their isolation. With Helen, the children re-

ceive something positive and she can take

something negative away again when she

leaves, says Carl.

The challenge is to find the families who

need Helen, because she is available for vi-

sits, and it costs nothing, Lesley says.

Lesley recently launched another bear,

Harold,whowill be anawareness and educa-

tion ambassador for CP at schools. Like He-

len, he will travel with his journals, but in-

stead of going to individuals, he will visit

class rooms.

Public telephone

kiosks vandalised

Telephone kiosks at Goodwood and

Parow Stations located outside

Parow Pick n Pay, Goodwood

library and at convenience shops

throughout subcouncil 4 have been

vandalised. In some cases only the

metal pillar is left as evidence of a

telephone kiosk.

I have written to Telkom to

advise them of the kiosks and have

requested that they either repair

the kiosks or remove the damaged

structures as the vandalised poles

are regarded by many people as a

form of urban decay, Clive Justus,

chairman of subcouncil 4 said at

their monthly meeting.

A

petition with 400 signatures was

handed to the police and chairperson

of the subcouncil Clive Justus in

Parow to take action against new tenants in

Smith Street, Parow.

The house, which has been rented since

November last year, has quickly gained a

reputation among neighbours as a place

where drugs are openly sold.Neighbours al-

so claim that one of the outbuildings is used

by sex workers.

People are scared. There is an old age

home, Hernus Kriel, in Bedford Street and

the residents have to walk down Smith

Street, past this house, to the day hospital,

shops and library.

These are vulnerable people and they are

afraid to walk here. There is constant fight-

ing and shouting, says the man who has

drawn up the petition.

He lives close to the reputed house and

does not want to be named, because he fears

being victimised.

He says he had to walk from door to door

to have the petition signed.

It was not easy, because people were too

scared to even open the door for me, he

says.

In the end he secured 400 signatures, of

which 42 are those of the entire old age

home.

Weve been made aware by people who

came forward who said they believe there

is illegal activity going on, says Walter

Kroggel, manager of the rental agency han-

dling the house.

According to Kroggel, the agency has

done thorough credit, financial, personal

and banking checks on the tenants, as well

as investigated their rental historybasedon

what they have put down on their applica-

tion.

He says in his business he has seen a

number of forged documents, and those

quickly get sent to the authorities. He says

in this case, they did not pick up any forger-

ies.

The rental agency has advised unhappy

residents to draw up the petition.

The quickest way to get rid of these peo-

ple is to get them arrested. And if they are

found guilty of possession of drugs or deal-

ing in drugs, prostitution or taking part in

any other criminal activity, then we can

cancel the lease, he says.

As soon as the lease is cancelled, an evic-

tion process can begin.

Kroggel says this is the lengthy part of

the process and can take up to four months,

even longer, but he says his agency has the

best attorney in the Western Cape.

Bipolre

versteuring

In die vorige artikel het ons gekyk na

wat onder die term bipolre versteuring

verstaan word. Ons het gesien dit is n

gemoedsversteuring van n bipolre

aard.

Die een pool is die depressiewe pool

waarin die persoon intense neerslagtig-

heid, n gevoel van hopeloosheid, n

verlies van eiewaarde, n verlies van

energie, pessimisme omtrent die toe-

koms en onsekerheid ervaar. Die ander

pool is die maniese kant. Dit beskryf die

toename in rusteloosheid en energie. Die

persoon is praterig, onverskillig en in n

euforiese staat en toon oordrewe moto-

riese aktiwiteit. Roekelose gedrag soos

buitengewone spandabelrigheid, impul-

siewe dobbel en riskante seksuele gedrag

kan voorkom. Dit kan ook oorgaan in

irritasie, woede, verwardheid en n

gevoel van om vasgekeer te wees.

Voordat op n behandelingstrategie

besluit word, sal die psigiater, dokter of

sielkundige eers saam met die pasint

sit en n evaluering doen. Daarvolgens

sal n behandelingsplan opgestel word.

Tans bestaan daar nie medikasie om

bipolre versteuring te genees nie. Die

goeie nuus is dat ernstige simptome met

behandeling verlig kan word.

Medikasie vorm n belangrike deel van

die behandeling. Dit is belangrik dat n

evaluering en diagnosering deur n

professionele kundige gedoen word,

sodat die korrekte medikasie voorge-

skryf kan word.

Bipolre versteuring het n komplekse

aard en neem dikwels lank om dit

korrek te diagnoseer.

Vir n pasint met bipolre versteu-

ring is dit ook goed om n sielkundige of

psigiater vir psigoterapie te konsulteer.

Dit is belangrik vir n pasint om

ondersteuning te kry, insig te ontwikkel

in die bipolre versteuring, en te werk

aan lewensvaardighede om sodoende sy

psigososiale aanpassing so effektief

moontlik te maak. Dis belangrik om nie

net op medikasie staat te maak nie,

maar ook in jou lewe die nodige veran-

deringe aan te bring en aanpassings te

maak.

Derdens kan elektrokonvulsieterapie

ook in die behandeling van die bipolre

versteuring aangewend word. Indien die

psigiater dit oorweeg, sal hy dit eers met

die pasint bespreek. Die belangrike

aspek in die behandeling van die

bipolre gemoedsversteuring is dat n

mens dit nie moet afmaak as iemand

wat net buierig is en homself moet

regruk nie. Hierdie versteuring ontneem

n individu sy lewenskwaliteit. Moenie

skaam wees, of dink jy is simpel, of dit

is nie nodig om hulp te kry nie. Daar is

opgeleide professionele kundiges om jou

by te staan en te help in jou stryd teen

die bipolre gemoedsversteuring.

SAPD teen n enkelemisdaadkomitee

MICHELLE LINNERT

@linnertmb

Die Bellville-polisie is nie ten gunste van n

enkele wetstoepassingseenheid of komitee,

wat misdaad hier moet bekamp en verdere

stedelike verval moet verhoed nie.

S s Pieter Blaauw, voorsitter van die

Bellvillese gemeenskapspolisiringsforum

(GPF), n n hewige debat tydens n open-

bare vergadering verlede Donderdag, waar

di kwessie weer met di polisiekantoor op-

gehaal is.

Blaauw se voorstel is dat daar eenwetstoe-

passingseenheid is, waarin die VRCID, Gro-

ter Tygerberg-vennootskap (GTV), die poli-

sie en gemeenskapsforums saamwerk. So n

komiteehetwel bestaan,maar sonderdiepo-

lisie se insette het dit doodgeloop, s Blaauw.

Die polisie as die senior wetstoepas-

singsentiteit, sou die leiding neem in die be-

dryf van hierdie komitee.

Hoewel die komitee met groot entoesias-

me gestig en aan die gang gekom het, het dit

nie lank geduur nie voordat slegs die VRCID

se amptenare opgedaag het wanneer n verga-

dering moes plaasvind, s Blaauw.

Die polisie en ander entiteite het geskitter

inhul afwesigheid.Korthiernahet diekomi-

tee opgehou funksioneer.

Hierdie toedrag van sake was nie vir die

GTV aanvaarbaar nie, aangesien dit die GTV

se werking en vooruitsigte (om beleggings na

die Bellville-gebied terug te bring) benadeel

het. Op n GPF-vergadering in Oktober ver-

lede jaar het die betrokke partye hul misnoe

oor die doodloop van die komitee uitge-

spreek.

Volgens Blaauw het brig. SharonGoven-

der, Bellville se polisiekommissaris, toe

gereageer deur uitstel te vra vir die bespre-

king van die komitee-kwessie, om die gel-

digheid van die komitee eers te verwys vir

n regsopinie. Blaauw s by verlede Don-

derdag 20 Februarie se openbare vergade-

ring van die GPF het Govender toe terug-

voer gegee oor di regsopinie.

Tydens haar terugvoer het sy verduide-

lik h enwanneer die polisie n gesament-

like operasionele komitee in werking stel.

Verder het sy verskeie regspunte aan-

gehaal omdienie-inwerkingstellingvan s

n komitee te regverdig. Voorts het sy ge-

noem dat die polisie nie die mannekrag en

logistieke vermo het om so n komitee te

bedryf nie. Dit het hewige debat ontlok.

Blaauw s verskeie argumente is gele-

wer dat dit nie ekstra mannekrag en logis-

tiek gaan vereis nie, maar bloot om die be-

staande bronne slimmer te bestuur.

Die lede teenwoordig was nie gelukkig

met Govender se besluit nie. Erwin

Schwella van die GTV het toe voorgestel

dat n komitee saamgestel word om die

saak verder te voer, en vyf lede is benoem.

Hierdie komitee sal binnekort met die

polisie vergader. n Oplossing vir hierdie

ongekordineerde optrede teen misdaad,

waar elke wetstoepassingsentiteit in isola-

sie optree, moet gevind word, het hy ges.

Govender het s gereageer op die klagte

dat sy nie ten gunste van n enkele wetstoe-

passingskomitee is nie: Hierdie is nie wat

by die vergadering gebeur het nie, en mnr.

Blaauw misinterpreteer my (siening).

Die bestuur van die Bellville-polisie is

nie gekant teen enige versoek van die GPF

nie. N baie beraadslaging oor f di kan-

toor n gesamentlike operasionele komitee

moet daarstel, is dit besluit dat daar n

werkgroep-vergadering gehou sal word.

Rolspelers vanuit die gemeenskap, deur die

gemeenskap gedentifiseer, sal di vergade-

ring bywoon, s sy.

Di kantoor het die eerste vergadering

vir 27 Februarie bel, waar die gedentifi-

seerde rolspelers van die gemeenskap met

die polisiebestuur sal byeenkom omdie doel

van die vergadering en die weg vorentoe te

bespreek.

Blaauw is deel van die gedentifiseerde

werkgroep en is reeds na die vergadering op

21 Februarie genooi. Hierdie kantoor is nie

in n posisie omverder kommentaar te lewer

op die ongegronde opmerkings van Blaauw

nie, en sal met di voorsitter vergader. Die

Bellville-polisie is verbind tot vennoot-

skapspolisiring aangesien polisiring nie

sonder gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid moont-

@magrietron

Women, men and children from all over the

northern suburbs gathered at the Bellville

Magistrates Court onValentinesDay to pro-

test against rape and abuse.

Across the world, 14 February has been set

aside by the international organisation One

Billion Rising for Justice, for people to stand

up against abuse.

This group fromDelft, ElsiesRiver, Bellvil-

le, Mitchells Plain, Athlone and Bonteheu-

wel was dressed in red and pink. They wal-

ked to Voortrekker Road with posters held

up high while waiting for taxis to take them

to a bigger group at the City Hall in Cape

Town.

We are marching from the City Hall to

Parliament and then moving to the Gar-

dens, said community worker Joy Warries

from Bellville South.

According to information released by the

One Billion Rising for Justice website, one

in three women on this planet will be raped

or beaten in her lifetime.

One Billion Rising for Justice is a global

call towomensurvivors of violenceand those

who love them to gather safely in community

outside places where they are entitled to jus-

tice.

It is a call to survivors to break the silence

and release their stories through art, dance,

marches, ritual, song, spoken word, testimo-

nies and whatever way feels right.

V Visit http://www.onebillionrising.org/ for more in

formation.

Controlled burn soon at Tygerberg Nature Reserve

T

he City of Cape Towns Tygerberg Na-

ture Reserve plans to conduct an ecolo-

gical burn in March or April when ap-

proximately 24 hectares will be burnt on the

south-eastern slope, on theWelgemoed/Loe-

venstein side of the reserve.

This will affect residents living in Totius

Street, Batavia Street, Poussion Street, Ek-

steen Street and Mahogany Crescent.

The Tygerberg Nature Reserve conserves

one of the largest remaining areas of the cri-

tically endangered Swartland shale renos-

terveld. Prescribed ecological burns are cru-

cial for the management of this area as fire

plays a fundamental role in its life cycle.

The actual date of the burn is dependent

on weather conditions, but all required bur-

ning permits have been obtained from the

Citys air pollution section, fire and rescue

services and the subcouncil. Fire and rescue

services has conducted the required pre-in-

spection of the area.

For safety reasons, the reserve will be clo-

sed to the public on the day of burning and

surrounding residents are advised to keep

their windows shut while burning takes pla-

ce.

Flammable items, such as gas cannisters,

should be removed from outside areas and

laundry should be taken off washing-lines to

prevent odour contamination from smoke.

Sprinklers may be used to dampen gar-

dens as a further precautionary measure.

Staff from Tygerberg Nature Reserve and

other City reserves, along with the Citys fi-

re and rescue services section, will assist

with the burn. Tygerberg Nature Reserve

staff will ensure that the procedure is con-

ducted efficiently and safely.

Fire-breaks have beenmaintained andwi-

dened where necessary, and firefighting

equipment and fire hydrants have been te-

sted to make sure that everything is in wor-

king order. Renosterveld should burn every

five to 10 years. By removing the canopy cre-

ated by themature vegetation, sunlight is al-

lowed to penetrate at ground level, which

helps with seed germination.

Fires that take place frequently can lead

to a decline in slow growing species, where-

as fires that are too infrequent (over 20 ye-

ars) lead to the domination ofmature plants.

Carefully managed burns are therefore ne-

cessary to obtain maximum species diversi-

ty.Another advantage of burning old vegeta-

tion is that it reduces fuel loads, which in

turn reduces the risk of wild fires.

To date, 23 plant species are threatened

with extinction, and three are endemic to

the reserve.

ture Reserve on 021 913 5695 or tygerberg.naturere

In die Staatskoerant van

Vrydag 7 Februarie is die wet

van 2008 aangepas ten opsigte

van die spesifikasies van

lampe.

Ek wil by Deon Louw, n

elektriese ingenieur met 35

jaar ervaring in plaaslike

regering, weet: Hoekom het ons

spesifikasies vir muurproppe

en lampe, maar die winkels is

propvol produkte wat nie aan

di minimum-vereiste voldoen

nie?

Soos u weet, is elektriese

toebehore vreeslik duur en

daarom lyk die goedkoper

ingevoerde produkte na n

makliker en beter keuse.

Vervaardigers kla ook dat

hierdie produkte nie gepolisi-

eer word nie en dat dit daartoe

lei dat handelaars enige

produk kan verkoop.

Die klint sal verseker die

goedkoper produk neem, en

Jan Alleman se kennis van wat

presies die regte regulasies vir

proppe en lampe is, is maar

skraps.

Daarom maak ons keuses

wat op pryse gegrond is nie

vasgestelde standaarde nie.

Ek wil u dus aanraai om

twee keer te kyk en slegs

produkte met die SABS-merk te

koop.

Jy mag dalk nou meer

spandeer, maar die ekstra paar

rand kan brande en selfs

ernstige beserings voorkom.

Die Stad Kaapstad se brand-

en reddingsdepartement het in

2013 op sowat 26 000 voorvalle

gereageer talle wat vermy

kon gewees het.

Ek wil graag inwoners

aanraai om verantwoordelik op

te tree en beter keuses te maak

sodat ons saam n veiliger Stad

Kaapstad vir almal kan skep.

On 7 May we as citizens of the

democratic republic of South

Africa who are registered have

been called to cast our very

valuable vote and then after

this voting process we will see

who we have voted into power

for the next four years.

Voting is not a process of just

making a cross next to a political

party or politician no it is a deep

rooted political choice each one

of us have to make.

A voter has to do a past and

present and a future reflection

before they cast their very valua-

ble vote.

When looking back one has

to ask oneself what benefits

have the political parties in

power captured and passed on

to our citizens in the form of

political promises at previous

voting rallies in relation to

economic survival in the form

of job creation, the high cost of

living, safety and security in

the form of visible policing and

justice for victims of crime and

service delivery in the form of

municipalities and this includes

councillors reacting speedily

and effectively on issues raised

by communities and good

governance in the form of how

corruption was dealt and how

decision made have effected us

and was the policy of power to

the people respected or ignored.

We also have to keep in mind

that politicians of different

political parties are going to

come with powerful political

promises to persuade us the

voter to cast our very valuable

vote in their favour.

We the voters must this time

round as mentioned above do a

critical crisis self preservation

very valuable votes because

once we place that vote, we

have to carry that cross of our

decision to vote for a party to

Referring to the letter Take

care of pets in the heat

(TygerBurger, 19 February), I

would like to share the follow-

ing. On Friday 14 February a

person left two huskies in a car

at Plattekloof Centre, with only

a little opening for air.

Im doing this for the animals

in the care of ignorant people.

I have four dogs, three cats

and birds. Believe me, they do

not feel the heat I make sure

of that. Please do not take

either out when conditions are

not suitable.

Dismos hoe

kampioene

terugveg!

En daar slaan die Proteas die Aussies

met n bekhou terug! Dt nadat elke

Suid-Afrikaanse krieketondersteuner

Graeme Smith se span n die Centurion-

toets uitgekryt het as n spul losers.

Wys jou net: Moenie n kampioenspan

sommer net so afskryf nie. Suid-Afrika is

nie verniet die voorste span op die

wreldtoetsranglys nie.

Hulle het in Port Elizabeth nuwe

betekenis aan die woord veggees gegee.

Nie alleen het die SA kolwers die kartet-

se van Mitchell Johnson suksesvol

afgeweer nie, maar het ons boulers die

Aussies van hul eie medisyne teruggegee.

Waar die Aussies voor die toer nie

uitgepraat kon raak oor hul beste

snelaanval in die wreld nie, het di

woorde nou lelik geboemerang.

Morne Morkel, in die eerse beurt, en

Dale Steyn, in die tweede beurt, het die

Aussies soos verskrikte kolhase laat

bontstaan. Hoewel Steyn nog nie in die

reeks op al sy silinders gevuur het nie,

het hy in die tweede Aussie-kolfbeurt

gewys waarom hy as die beste bouler in

die wreld gereken word.

Van Saterdag af op Nuweland in die

beslissende toets, gaan Steyn heel moont-

lik die grootste Aussie-verwoester wees.

En met Hashim, AB en JP op stryk met

die kolf, gaan Mitchell en kie n moeilike

tyd met die bal h.

Dit is ook net gepas dat di belangrike

laaste toets op Nuweland gespeel word.

Die pawiljoene sal minstens vol wees, wat

in skrille kontras sal wees met die

powere opkoms in PE en Centurion.

Financial help for small businesses who

want to takeonnewand inexperienced staff

is now available and the benefits will be

there from next pay day, said Michael Ba-

graim, a Cape Town labour lawyer.

He was speaking at a breakfast symposi-

um organised by the Cape Coast branch of

the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Indus-

try last week. The beauty of the youth

wage subsidy or Employment Tax Incenti-

ve is that there is very little red tape invol-

ved and no waiting for refunds, he said.

The SARevenue Service has done an ex-

cellent job in putting together a scheme

that is really easy to use and one that will

help many young people find their places

in the working world.

He explained that a business taking on a

young and inexperienced worker at a sala-

ry of, say, R2 000 a month would be able to

deduct half the salary (R1 000) from its next

PAYE payment to SARS.

This is instant help for small busines-

ses, said JanineMyburgh, president of the

Chamber.

We predict that it will meanmanymore

jobs and it will help small businesses to

grow. One of the big problems the country

face is that young people cannot get jobs be-

cause they have no experience and are now

unable to findwork. This is a catch 22 situ-

ation and at last we have away to break the

impasse, she said.

Bagraim explained that the scheme ap-

plied to young South Africans aged bet-

ween 18 and 29whowere starting their first

jobs. Even better grants were available for

companies which employed matriculants

as apprentices or learners and where jobs

were linked to formal trainingat accredited

institutions.

RICHARD ROBERTS

@richardjohn_rj

Haar droom is om eendag die

wreld te verken as toergids.

Maar om daar te kom sal di 17-

jarige van Kalkfontein eers

deur n mentor gehelp word.

Die mentor, ook genoem haar

aanneempa en -suster, vorm

deel van n gemeenskapsorgani-

sasie, Dawn Cares, se mentor-

skap-program, Adopt a Child.

Die program behels dat n

man, vrou of egpaar n hor-

skool-leerder uit n minderbe-

voorregte gebied geldelik en

akademies bystaan deur die

leerder aan te neem.

Harriet Lucas, nmatriekleer-

der by die Horskool Sarepta, is

verlede week deur haar nuwe

paGavinDodgenensydogter,

Zelah (23), n opvoeder, aange-

neem.

Haar biologiese ma, Dorothy

Lucas, n enkelouer en ma van

vyf, het ges sy is baie opgewon-

de oor die feit dat haar dogter

vanjaar geldelik en akademies

gesteun gaan word.

Die mentor sal die leerder vir

die laaste skooljaar bystaan en

net die basiese benodighede aan

die leerder verskaf, het Dawn

Roode, stigter van Dawn Cares,

onlangs ges.

Sy het ges die doel is ook om

dit vir die leerder teen die einde

van die jaar moontlik te maak

om na sy of haar matriekaf-

skeidsbal toe te gaan.

Die mentor moet ook help

om n beurs vir die leerder te

help bekom, en aansoek by n

tersire instansie te doen, het

Dawn verder verduidelik.

Sy het ges hulle hoop om

deur middel van die projek die

kinders aan te spoor om n suk-

ses van hul lewens te maak.

Baie keer luister die kinders

nie na hul ouers nie, maar na

ander.Onswil vir die kinders s

hulle moet slaag en dan gaan

studeer. Hullemoetweet daar is

iemand wat omgee, het Dawn

bygevoeg.

Dorothy het ges haar dogter

is n harde werker.

Sy is betrokke by die kerk,

die jeug en sing in die koor. Ek

wil h haar skoolloopbaanmoet

glad verloop, maar dit gaan nie

altyd geldelik goed nie, het die

ma ges.

Harriet het ges sy is gelukkig

en dat die mentorskap n verlig-

ting vir haar ma is.

Gavin, n pa van ses, het ges

daar is n nood vir so n projek

in gemeenskappe soos Kalkfon-

tein.

Ek wil n verskil maak. Daar

is kinders wat potensiaal het,

maar weens geldelike druk kan

hulle nie noodwendig hul doel

bereik nie.

Hy het ges tersire opleiding

is baie belangrik vir matriku-

lante.

VEnigiemandwatDawnCareswil kon

tak in verband met die projek, kan

Dawn Roode by 081 380 4668 kontak.

Mentorskap

gee jonges kans

Zelah Dodgen, n berader, saam met Harriet Lucas en Gavin Dodgen.

Die Dodgengesin het Harriet pas as deel van n gemeenskapsprojek,

Adopt a Child, aangeneem. Die projek behels dat mense wat dit

geldelik kan bekostig matriekleerders uit minderbevoorregte gebiede

akademies en geldelik steun. FOTO: RICHARD ROBERTS

Die Adopt a Childpro

jek is onlangs weer

bekendgestel. Die

projek word bestuur

deur die nieregerings

organisasie, Dawn

Cares. Mense, wat dit

geldelik kan bekostig,

kan n matriekleerder

aanneem en na die

leerder se geldelike en

akademiese behoeftes

omsien. Hier staan

Trou met my! Erin Botha, n onderwyseres by Carel du Toit, waar dowe kinders leer praat, se

krel het haar op n ongelooflike manier die jawoord gevra. Niel Kidd het vir elke kind in haar klas

n Themp laat maak met n letter daarop wat die woorde MARRY ME uitspel. Hyself het n

Themp gedra met n vraagteken op. Toe sy die klas instap, het die kinders almal tegelyk ges:

Marry me! Erin s sy het eers gedink hulle oefen vir een of ander konsert, maar Niel het op sy

knie gegaan het en haar toe self gevra. Natuurlik was haar antwoord ja! Op die foto is (van

PJ Powers on stage in her new show, Firefly. PHOTO: STEVEN BOOTH

PJ comes

back from

dark side

LOUISA STEYL

@lounotes

S

outhAfrican icon, PJ Pow-

ers, is showing fans anoth-

er side in her new produc-

tion, Firefly, currently on at the

Roxy Review Bar.

In order to see your firefly,

there has to be darkness, PJ

says, explaining the name of the

production.

Im a recovering alcoholic,

she goes on, explaining that the

alcoholism took her to rock bot-

tom.

It was in that blackness that

I saw my firefly.

Her addiction is one of the

very personal parts of her jour-

ney that PJ explores in her inti-

mate new show.

Cape Town is an area that I

havent exposed myself to for a

couple of years and the Roxy

Theatre is a fabulous theatre,

PJ says of her decision to stage

the show in Cape Town.

Also I am very nervous of

smaller audiences, she says,

adding: A sea of 10 000 people

is much more comfortable for

me.

Expose

I just decided if I was going

to exposemyself in thisway that

I am, because people find things

out about me, that they dont

know, that they havent ever

read before, that I wanted to do

it in a more comfortable envi-

ronment than Johannesburg,

PJ explains, adding that Johan-

nesburg tends to be a harsh

place sometimes.

While busy with the produc-

tion, PJ is also in the process of

writing a book with Marianne

Tham as a ghost-writer, which

is another reason why she is in

Cape Town.

She had been flying to and fro

between Johannesburg and

Cape Town so far, but PJ says:

The truth is the writing has to

be done by the end of March.

On her days off, PJ is spend-

ing time with Marianne work-

ing on the book,which is the sto-

ry of her life.

But its not just the story of

my life, PJ says, adding: Its a

story about South Africa, its

about this young white apoliti-

cal, middle-class human being

who suddenly was embraced by

the whole of Africa.

There are many parallels

about South Africa and the

country that we live in and my

life, she goes on.

PJ also discovered a comedi-

an in herself along the way. I

wanted to be able to tell some of

the stories that I have, she

says, adding that there are some

things that have happened in

her life that are extremely fun-

ny.

Addiction

In her fifth year of sobriety,

PJ says she has watched how

the disease of addiction has

pulled many families apart and

is busy pulling our country to

pieces. This is what made her

want to tell her story.

Her relationship with the late

Nelson Mandela, which she has

never spoken about before, is

one of the highs that PJ looks at

in Firely.

I was very lucky to have a

close relationship with him and

he was a constant guide, she

says, adding that he even wrote

to her from prison.

The lows she talks about is

where her career hit the

skids.

I lost my house, lost my car,

lost every material possession I

had and had to start again, she

says.

Most of it is done with quite

self deprecating humour, PJ

says of her show, adding: I

dont mind laughing at myself.

Last year, PJ released a new

album, called Destiny.

I do believe that we create our

own destinies, she says of the

name, adding: I think that our

thoughts become our desti-

nies.

Those songs came from pain

and hurt and happiness, PJ

says of her new album adding

that from a lyrical point of view

each song is like a little book.

Lyrics are very important to

me, she says, adding: Each

song has a whole story.

Die Tygerbergdienssentrum vir Bejaardes en

Mobiele Etes voorsien weekliks etes aan ongeveer

250 bejaardes, behoeftige gesinne en kinders by

Parowpark. Tannie Poppie la Grange, soos almal

haar ken, is een van die helpers by Parowpark,

wat die kos help opskep en uitdeel. Van tyd tot

tyd klop van die kinders aan haar deur vir n

broodjie, omdat hulle honger is. Uit haar karige

pensioen het sy toebroodjies vir hulle gemaak.

Tans gee tannie Poppie vir ongeveer 20 kinders

toebroodjies. Die dienssentrumbestuur is genader

vir hulp en hulle gee nou bestanddele om

vullende toebroodjies vir hierdie kinders te maak.

Enigiemand wat met bestanddele vir toebroodjies

wil help, kan Linda Louw of Patricia Ellis kontak

by 021 939 4043. Op die foto is (agter) tannie

Poppie le Grange en Hester Matthee. Voor is

Keaun Vlotman, Joshua Vlotman, en Ruby

Wingrove, almal van Parowpark.

Tannie Poppie het n oop hand

Magda Bernhardt, Lawren Campbell, Lillian Bosman, Theuns Wium en Sarie

Berg was by die Tygerbergdienssentrum vir Bejaardes en Mobiele Etes se

musiek en kuieroggend. Theuns Wium het opgetree en bekende liedjies gesing,

wat die oggend baie aangenaam gemaak het. Van die lede het die betekenis

van hul vriende in en buite die dienssentrum soos volg opgesom: Ondersteu

ning, deel liefde en leed, betoon klein dade van omgee, beur en bou mekaar

op. Positiwiteit, vriendelikheid en minsaamheid is noodsaaklik vir di in hul

silwerjare om gelukkig te wees. Die hoogtepunt van die oggend was n heerlike

braai en slaaie om die kuiertjie mee af te sluit.
