Librarians turn to 1976
Y
outh empowerment and activism took the spotlight when UWC Library hosted a Youth Day exhibition on 17 June to commemorate the Soweto uprising of 16 June 1976. Pateka Ntshuntshe-Matshaya, UWC Library Director and programme director for the day, explained that it was the primary role of librarians to connect people with information because they were excited about the history of South Africa. For the Youth Day exhibition, they connected learners from Belhar High School with three guest speakers, Dr Simphiwe Sesanti, Keith Gottschalk and Professor Joy Papier, who reflected on the role South African youth had played in the country’s not-too-distant past, and the importance of Youth Day. Gottschalk, an anti-apartheid activist now based at UWC’s Department of Political Studies, donated a wealth of knowledge to the University in the form of newspaper clippings from the 1990s. He had collected these, he said, because he wanted future generations to benefit from the documents, now used by many political scientists and

The exhibition of the posters was the main event of the Youth Indaba, where judges from UWC, the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and the City of Cape Town appraised the posters. Digital cameras were presented to each member of the two winning groups. There was also more reflection. “The breakaway sessions allowed the youth to come together to discuss solution strategies for a certain challenge, or issues that affect the youth in their community,” explained Prince. The learners were also tasked with designing intervention plans to implement in their community. The groups with the best solutions won seed money to create “an act of change in their community”. The three winning groups each received R3 000. In closing the Indaba, Abigail JacobsWilliams, Programme Manager for Youth Development at the City of Cape Town, highlighted the importance of providing platforms for the youth to be part of creating solutions.

f economic crimes are on the rise and perpetrators are becomming increasingly sophisticated in their methods, tracking them down demands that investigators be as sophisticated in their techniques. UWC is playing its part in equipping the South African Police Services (SAPS) with those skills. The Faculty of Law completed the training of 48 Gauteng detectives who had taken the Higher Certificate in Forensic Examination (HCFE) course at the University. The Faculty has been running this sixmonth programme, a National Qualification Framework level 5 course accredited by the Western Cape Education Department, since 2000. The Faculty has also been presenting a series of specialised courses since 2009. The HCFE is designed to assist investigators — who often have limited exposure to the auditing and accounting aspects of such crimes — in their investigations, providing them with a better understanding of the legal issues involved. The certificate course covers topics such as criminal law, the law of evidence, internal auditing and the investigation of crimes. To mark the completion of the latest course, UWC and the Gauteng Department of
Community Safety, with the provincial SAPS, signed a memorandum of understanding when the detectives were presented with their certificates at a ceremony at the University. “This is a historic moment for SAPS Gauteng, and we are honoured to be here,” said LieutenantGeneral Lesetja Head of Gauteng’s Department of Community Safety, Advocate Mongesi Tshongweni, Mothiba, Gauteng Acting Provincial Commissioner for Gauteng, Lieutenant-General Letsetja Mothiba, Acting Provincial and UWC’s Dean of Law, Prof Bernard Martin, signing a memorandum of understanding on the training of detectives in forensic examination.

South Africa mourns the passing of UWC alumnus
T
he UWC community and South African higher education, and the continent at large, was dealt a blow with the passing of one of the University’s most prominent alumni, Professor Russel Botman, the Rector and Vice-Chancellor of Stellenbosch University. Described by President Jacob Zuma as
“one of the pioneers of transformation in higher education in South Africa”, Botman died in his sleep at his Stellenbosch home on 28 June, aged 60. He was buried on 5 July. “South Africa has lost one of the leading lights of our higher education transformation,” noted the President in his statement. “UWC, Stellenbosch, South Africa and the world lost a leader who fought for justice, transformation and reconciliation since his days as a student at the University of the Western Cape,” Stellenbosch Municipality spokesperson, Vernon Bowers, said. Born in Bloemfontein, Botman completed his Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Theology, Bachelor of Science, Master of Theology (cum laude) and his doctoral degrees at UWC. He served the University in various positions, including Dean of the then Faculty of Religion and Theology and as
an Extraordinary Professor from 1994. On behalf of UWC students, staff and alumni, UWC Rector and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Brian O’Connell, joined the world in expressing his condolences to the Botman family, and his colleagues and friends. “We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Russel. Our prayers and thoughts are with Russel’s wife Beryl, his children (Hayman, Lazelle, Ilze, Roxanne) and the Stellenbosch University community. Russel was a gem and one of UWC’s greatest alumni. Our nation has lost an ethical leader. We will miss him,” noted O’Connell. Botman was the first black person to be appointed as the Rector and ViceChancellor of Stellenbosch University, and was the driving force behind the university’s HOPE Project, a vehicle for that institution’s transformation and positioning in the 21st century.

internationally to raise the voices of the poor fishers across various platforms, such as at the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation in Rome.” According to Jaffer, “the community handbook will act as a guide to small-scale fisheries by breaking down the legalese of the policy and specifically focusing on the operational and procedural aspects.” Pheeha welcomed the launch of the smallscale fisheries handbook. She reported that the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries had committed a budget of R90 million towards the implementation of this policy, to set aside rights allocations
WC’s Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS), in collaboration with Masifundise Development Trust and Too Big to Ignore (a global partnership of small-scale fishers), recently launched the 16-page Handbook for Fishing Communities in South Africa. The publication introduces the new SmallScale Fisheries Policy adopted by Cabinet in June 2012. This policy for the first time in South African history recognises the rights of fishers including their rights to access to food and the ability to sustain their livelihoods through fishing activities. Produced by PLAAS and Masifundise Development Trust in four of the coastal provinces’ languages (Afrikaans, English, isiXhosa and isiZulu), the booklet will be distributed to fishing communities around the coast. It unpacks fishing policy legislation and speaks directly to fishers, explaining step-by-step how they may go about accessing their new rights to inshore resources such as yellowtail, snoek, Cape salmon and West Coast rock lobster. The recent fierce contest over the fishing rights of small-scale fishing communities makes this booklet a vital tool for all those involved in the fishing industry — particularly people who would rather not be bogged down by legal jargon. The launch of the booklet took place at the Multi-purpose Centre in Ocean View in May. The event was attended by 150 people, including fishing community representatives from around the coast and from Ocean View, a member of Parliament, academics, students, representatives of the Rockefeller Foundation, fisheries officials and the media. Key speakers at the event were Saasa Pheeha, Acting Chief Director of Marine Resource Management; veteran fisheries activist Andy Johnston; Solene Smith, a member of the Coastal Links community organisation in Langebaan; Naseegh Jaffer, Director of Masifundise Development Trust; and Associate Professor Moenieba Isaacs of PLAAS. Johnston, a fisher for over 50 years, stated: “We had a vision.

for small-scale fisheries, and was identifying, verifying and registering smallscale fishers. PLAAS’s Isaacs told fishers that the policy gave them the right to be recognised as a group, the right to livelihood, and the right to food security. However, these rights came with responsibilities, and Isaacs warned that if they did not take responsibility for their rights and actively get involved in the organisation, the system would not change. Isaacs noted further that to implement the policy, structured capacity building of co-operatives in communities was crucial.
The 16-page booklet ‘Handbook for Fishing Communities in South Africa’ sets out to simplify the country’s small-scale fishing policy for readers.

Remembering the past, building the future
W
e are what we keep; we keep what we are. That’s the thinking behind UWC’s Archives Project — an attempt to learn to build a better future by contemplating the past. The Archives Project is already under way, maintaining and organising over 50 years of University records and publications, chronicling a history of struggle and achievement. The future really is rooted in the past, and UWC’s past has been a long and winding road, from a Do you have any interesting photographs, posters, scripts, books or other material (legal documents, meeting minutes, University correspondence) that can help with this project?

‘bush college’ offering limited training for Coloured people to a home of the antiapartheid left, to a cornerstone of the post-1994 South Africa, and one of Africa’s finest higher education institutions. That’s a history worth preserving and learning from — and learning is key to the Archives Project. The UWC Archives will not be a storeroom full of unwanted documents being kept for sentimental reasons, but an important centre for research, history and administrative accountability. The Archives Project will: • identify, preserve and organise records of all kinds, providing rich sources of research and historical information about UWC staff, students, alumni and events over the years; • provide access to past internal and external correspondence between the University and stakeholders to promote good governance; and

Winter school dedicated to preservation of library materials
L
ibrarians have to think about more than just the issuing of materials to users. Such as looking after those materials in the first place, and making sure they are available for a long time and in many different forms. In June, 17 librarians and senior staff from community libraries in the Western Cape,
KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape took part in a five-day Preservation Management Winter School and were awarded certificates on completion. The training was organised by UWC in partnership with the Department of Arts and Culture and the National Library of South Africa (NLSA). The programme was presented by

librarians and staff from UWC and the NLSA. Topics were varied, covering everything from book conservation, climate control and disaster planning, to digitisation, the care of digital collections, and book and paper conservation. Participants also toured the UWC Bindery, the University’s prized Mayibuye Archives, the Western Cape Archives, and the Cape Town Centre for the Book. According to Francis Moloi, Preservation Officer at the National Archives in Pretoria, the week had been an informative one. He particularly enjoyed the sessions on the different techniques of preservation management. Duduzile Mkhwanazi, a librarian in the Msunduzi Municipality in KZN, was equally impressed with the training. “We learned a lot about preservation and the conservation of information in the five days that we have been here,” she said.

Co-curricular activities good for students
C
o-curricular activities — those campus activities students get involved in beyond their academic studies — are designed to offer a fuller experience of university life, but not everyone can take part. That was one of the issues that fell under the spotlight when UWC’s Centre for Student Support Services (CSSS) hosted a colloquium in May titled The Co-Curriculum: An integrated practice or fragments at the fringes of university experience? The aim of the event was to explore the importance, for students, of being involved in co-curriculum programmes. This included activities and initiatives such as HIV/AIDS programmes, student support groups, volunteering, leadership training, mentoring and campus societies. Speakers at the event included Professor Teboho Moja and Monroe France of New York University in the USA, and Professor Ronelle Carolissen of Stellenbosch University. Dr Birgit Schreiber, Director of CSSS, highlighted that “cocurriculum activities seek to develop graduate attributes, enable connection and attachment to the University, enable improved integration into university life, improve employment opportunities, and provide support to students participating in these programmes”. But universities need to be mindful of unintended consequences that further disadvantage already disadvantaged students, she cautioned. Structures and systems at university might inadvertently be
exclusionary and fail to include those students who already do ‘extra’ for their families, such as caring for the young and ill. But on the whole, reported speakers, students benefit from co-curriculum practices by applying the knowledge they’ve gained from their daily lives — skills which cannot be taught in a classroom. “Participating in programmes available at higher education institutions improves performance in the classroom,” said Moja, Clinical Professor of Higher Education at NYU. Co-curriculum programmes might be re-thought of as lifewide learning opportunities, added Carolissen. The idea is that students’ complex lives are validated and their range of experiences affirmed.

Digital education under the spotlight at summit
A
t a day-long summit in June, UWC executives and chairs of departments had a chance to deliberate and catch up on the latest developments in digital education. The summit was organised by the Institutional Planning Department and Information and Communication Services
(ICS), and was in part designed to discuss the University’s ability to support academic freedom through electronic media. Much of the summit was focused on the different ways UWC could promote new and innovative internal communication strategies, and the role that the ICS could play. Delegates also discussed how UWC could expand its global footprint through Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), open access courses that encourage unlimited participation. To guide the conversation,
UWC brought in Dr Jan-Martin Lowendahl, a research analyst with Gartner Inc, an American IT research and advisory firm. Lowendahl, based at Gartner’s Swedish offices, specialises in higher education governance, strategy and emerging trends. Speaking on MOOCs, Lowendahl noted that these courses offer countless opportunities for the training of many different skills, and that governments should recognise the need for such programmes. Offering MOOCs would however require new skills sets. “We need to develop more business moguls for the jobs of teaching students online,” he said. The event forms part of a series of conversations on campus that will address key focus areas in an effort to influence and shape the University’s next Institutional Operating Plan (IOP).

AIMS Director, Professor Barry Green, agreed that young people were needed to take the continent forward. “The flame for mathematics has to be ignited in the young, and this is what we do at AIMS,” he remarked. “We have created a caring environment for the whole continent and we are enabling our students to create a new future for Africa.” “With all our variety of religions and cultures, we all share similar dreams — to make Africa great,” said UWC graduate Rosemary Aogo, who comes from Kenya. “So let us put all the skills we have acquired into transforming the world,” she urged her fellow graduates. The graduation ceremony was officiated by Professor Brian O’Connell, UWC ViceChancellor and Rector, along with Professor Eugene Cloete, Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation at Stellenbosch University, and Professor Danie Visser, Deputy ViceChancellor for Research at UCT. “The challenges we are now facing are unprecedented,” O’Connell told the students. “In Africa, few if any of our nations will achieve their 2015 Millennium Development Goals.

Mathematics educators upskilled in stats
Associate Professor Renette Blignaut (far right), Deputy Chairperson of UWC’s Department of Statistics and Population Studies, with teachers from different Western Cape schools attending the Maths4Stats workshop on Saturday, 17 May 2014.
I
n May, UWC and more than 60 mathematics teachers from around the Western Cape marked the completion of the University’s third Maths4Stats training programme with a certificate presentation ceremony. Over the previous two months the teachers attended weekly training sessions covering various themes in statistics and the teaching of statistics. The broad Maths4Stats programme — initiated by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) in 2002 — is a joint project meant to improve the teaching of statistics content. UWC’s Department of Statistics and Population Studies (SPS) was approached by Stats SA to run such an outreach initiative for local teachers, and hosted its first Maths4Stats programme in 2012. The programme is now presented in partnership with the Western Cape Education Department (WCED). Associate Professor Renette Blignaut, SPS Deputy Chairperson, explained that the training covered content related to statistics as incorporated in the mathematics curricula of grades 10 to 12 from 2012. These included standard statistical topics such as probability, grouped data, and regression and correlation. Teachers were also taught how to use
SAS Curriculum Pathways, through which award-winning online educational resources are made available to teachers and schools at no charge. In addition, teachers enjoyed a demonstration of SuperCross, a specialised computer application provided by Stats SA that allows teachers to access valuable information from census databases. Then representatives from sponsors Casio and Sharp highlighted some of the advanced functions of their latest calculators. Sharp provided the funding to pay students who had served as tutors on the training sessions. Blignaut stressed the collaborative nature of the programme, and thanked sponsors for their contributions. “Without this combined effort the training would not have been possible,” she said. Majiet Parker, principal and maths teacher at Joe Slovo Engineering School in Khayelitsha, said the training had enriched his knowledge and understanding of mathematics. “The things we learned here were not in my degree when I was still studying, and I will carry it to my pupils. And I will show them one can never stop learning.” Charles Smith, Senior Curriculum Planner for Mathematics at the WCED, explained that the Department realised it could not

reach all teachers with training or crafting the curriculum for training. But they would provide support to make such courses possible, he promised. “We seriously hope the training has empowered these teachers to deliver in the classroom, and we would like to also extend our appreciation to the University of the Western Cape for taking time out to teach our educators,” he said. Khunjulwa Mtaki, a maths teacher at Siphamandla High School, told how she had not been comfortable with doing some equations in class. “I would spend hours staring at the textbook and wasted a lot of time discussing traditional equations with the pupils,” she confided. But after the training, said Mtaki, she would be able to pass on her newfound mathematical knowledge with confidence in the classroom. In keeping with the Maths4Stats ethos, Blignaut presented a few statistics about the participating teachers. Of the 56 who had completed the programme’s survey forms, 46 percent were women, ranging in age from 24 to 59 years (with a mean age of 40), 13 percent had no formal maths or stats training, and 62 percent held an honours degree or higher.

H
ealth care and health education are profoundly important in South Africa today, and in Africa. Raising levels of health education can in turn raise levels of health care provision, and ultimately save lives across the continent. That was the main concern of the 7th annual South African Association of Health Educationalists (SAAHE) Conference, held in Cape Town in June. Hosted by UWC, Stellenbosch University (SU) and Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), the conference brought together 235 academics, researchers and clinicians from 14 countries — in perhaps the largest annual gathering of health profession educators on the African continent — to discuss the state of health professional education. The theme for the conference was Convergence/Divergence, and the discussion centred on how different aspects of higher education were coming together, as well as points of departure that lead to new horizons. Topics included the role of medical interns in South African hospitals, multi-country knowledge consortia, dietetics training and more effective ways to construct questionnaires, among other themes.
“Looking at my dictionary, I can see that convergence can be defined as the tendency to become sane, to reach the most rational result for a particular problem, while divergence can be defined as using a variety of approaches to reach a variety of solutions,” said Professor Gert van Zyl, President of SAAHE. “It’s only by combining these approaches that we can solve many of the difficult challenges we face in health education and health systems.” “We’ve come together to share what we’ve learned, to celebrate our successes, and to get help from colleagues with our setbacks,” added the chairperson of the conference organising committee — and the 2013 Higher Education Learning and Teaching Association of South Africa’s (HELTASA) award-winning educator — Dr Michael Rowe, physiotherapy lecturer at UWC. “And there are setbacks: there are challenges in educational research that are not often experienced by those in the hard sciences.” The opening keynote speaker at the launch of the conference was Associate Professor Jason Frank of the University of Ottawa, Canada. He discussed the merits of the CanMEDS Physician Competency Framework and how it allows for a diversity of approaches to addressing the training needs

of health professionals, while still ensuring they learn essential skills. Frank was followed by Wits University’s Dr Ian Couper, winner of the 2014 SAAHE Distinguished Educator Award, who explored the variety of international approaches to health professional education he had come across in his work abroad. Professor Brian O’Connell, Rector and ViceChancellor of UWC, expressed his hope that sharing knowledge at the conference could help Africa join in the important intellectual revolutions it had missed. He noted that it was only by pooling knowledge that science and medicine could advance to overcome challenges like poverty and climate change: “Why do we share? Because we are human! We have a common purpose, needs, challenges and asymmetrical distribution of knowledge and skills. By sharing and testing ideas — Newton building on Galileo building on Copernicus — humans have done great things,” O’Connell said. For the first time, a conference mobile app allowed attendees to figure out where they should be at any particular moment to get the most out of their conference experience.

Dentistry students get their teeth into implantology
T

prosthodontists at UWC’s Department of Conservative Dentistry, dental implantology is rapidly becoming part of mainstream dentistry. It’s only logical, then, that the department would like graduates to be versed in this technology, and confident in treating patients requiring dental implants. There were many hands-on learning opportunities for students, said Cassim. “They have the opportunity to place the implants in specially prepared models that simulates the experience of surgically placing implants in the jaw bone. They then learn the special techniques of taking dental implant impressions and practically assembling all the various implant components.” The learning isn’t over just yet. The SAAO is planning to bring eight internationally renowned speakers to UWC on the eve of its inaugural congress, to be held in Cape Town in October.
Dentistry students give back to the community
F
or the 21-strong UWC group that recently visited Bonnievale for the Faculty of Dentistry’s third outreach programme for the year, things got off to a slow start. The team of six fifth-year, eight fourthyear and two third-year dental students, joined by five lecturers, had left for Bonnievale in the Cape Winelands on a Friday afternoon to set up for an early start the next morning. But when they opened the doors to the mobile clinic, parked next to Bonnievale Clinic, they had only 29 patients waiting. There were concerns that students wouldn’t have much opportunity to apply their newly acquired skills. Things soon picked up, though. So much so that the team had to make
full use of the mobile clinic’s two chairs, the clinic’s own dental surgery and five chairs in separate consulting rooms. By five o’ clock the group had treated an impressive 114 patients, of which 50 were asked to return the next morning for further dental work. Sunday morning started off differently with 75 patients waiting for the group’s arrival on the site. In total, 103 people were seen that day. Over the two days, the team performed 452 extractions, 21 fillings and 20 polishes. There was an overwhelming demand for extractions from patients suffering from pain and sepsis (inflammation), fairly common ailments in rural towns.
The numbers reflect the lack of basic dental services in areas such as Bonnievale. The very limited service that is available to this community is provided by the state dentist in Worcester — some 70 km away — for one morning every second week. The Faculty expressed its praise for its students, who “show exceptional skill in addition to openly demonstrating commitment, empathy and enthusiasm for any task”. The Faculty runs such outreach programmes several times a year, which benefit everyone involved — students develop clinical skills, and community members receive a service that is not easily accessible.

UWC’s CPA goes gospel
O
n Sunday, 25 May, UWC’s Centre for the Performing Arts (CPA) hosted its third Jazz Vespers service at St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town. The UWC Wind Orchestra and Saxophone Ensemble added some spirited harmony to the evening prayers, to the delight of the parishioners who expressed their gratitude afterwards. The CPA partnered with the Cathedral to provide gospel-influenced jazz (and more) on the last Sunday of every month, as part of the Centre’s focus on community engagement. The parishioners love the musical accompaniment, but the students also benefit from the agreement. Notably they get a chance to hone their skills in front of an audience. Since 2011, the CPA, which opened in 2005, has pursued a vision to address the changing arts environment in the country. “Our focus on community engagement makes it possible for any talented artist to study at UWC’s CPA — whether school

A similar opportunity was offered to tenor saxophonist Geoffrey Abrahams from Grassy Park, who is currently studying to be a chef but also wanted to continue his music training. “When I heard I could be part of the UWC Wind Orchestra, it sparked my interest and I jumped at it.”

reative writing comes in all languages, especially at UWC Creates, Southern Africa’s first multilingual creative writing programme that recently staged its sixth literary festival. The programme brings together students, lecturers, and renowned Xhosa, Afrikaans and English poets and authors who compose material that celebrates diversity. It offers students a chance to hone their art under acclaimed local wordsmiths, including Meg Van der Merwe of UWC’s Department of English and colleague (and famed poet) Antjie Krog, who together started UWC Creates in 2009. They were joined by author, playwright and poet Sindiwe Magona in 2011. UWC Creates was established as a means to encourage creative and social dialogue across languages, culture and ethnicities, says Van der Merwe. “Together we hope to foster dynamic and previously marginalised voices in
South African literature, which recognise the hybridity of this country whilst also honouring their own literary and cultural roots.” The annual literary festival is complemented by workshops and seminars that have featured

This year’s UWC Creates Festival was the second hosted in conjunction with the Spier Dancing in Other Words Festival, a collaboration the UWC team hopes will continue. Previously the festival was held as part of the Franschhoek Literary Festival, where a UWC Creates anthology, This is My Land, was launched in 2012. In 2011 and 2013, it formed part of the Open Book Festival. Over the years, the festival has garnered substantial praise. And it doesn’t hurt that authors and poets are willing to join UWC students for such high-profile occasions. “We always take the approach of encouraging UWC Creates students and alumni to share the stage with those writers who are already established,” says Van der Merwe. “Most creative writing programmes tend to keep their students in the audience rather than allow them to share equal billing with famous writers.”

Paper jet competition soars to new heights
Pictured are learners from one of the schools at the paper jet competition.
P
aper jets in the classroom might annoy a lot of teachers, but the annual Paper Jet Competition has shown it’s also a great way to teach science. In May UWC’s Science Learning Centre for Africa (UWC-SLCA) hosted the competition’s 2014 edition in partnership with the Sakhikamva Foundation, an organisation that seeks to raise awareness of aviation, focusing on the development of young South Africans. Learners from 14 schools that fall under the Metro Central Education District of the Western Cape Education Department took part in the event. The competition challenges learners to design paper jets that can fly fast and fly far, or both. Teams from schools combined their knowledge of aerodynamics, mathematics and paper
engineering with a good throwing arm. They competed in three categories, namely the longest flight duration (timed with a stopwatch), the longest distance flown (measured with a measuring tape), and the best paper airplane design (learners presented and explained their designs and research to a panel). The success of competition is thanks in part to a new collaboration with the curriculum advisor of the Metro Central Education District, Francois Jones, a teacher trained by the UWC-SLCA. The event has been a resounding triumph, said Prof Shaheed Hartley, Director of the UWC-SLCA. Each participating school staged its own qualifying competition, and then chose the teams to compete in the May finals. “We know how much kids love throwing paper jets around at school, so we
decided to give them and their teachers some formal training,” he explained. The organisers had high hopes for the competition, Hartley added. “Through this competition we intend to instil a culture of taking science and technology seriously at an early age, by getting learners to use their geometry skills. We want to see these kids as pilots one day and that is why we came up with the Paper Jet Competition.” Fatima Jakoet, founder of the Sakhikamva Foundation and a pilot for South African Airways, said the competition encourages the learners and their teachers to think outside of the classroom. The partnership with UWC had grown since it was first started in 2012, she noted. Expect the competition to soar to even greater heights in coming years.

n most cases, banging home six goals in two games would make any footballer confident of securing a place in a team — but not Leandra Smeda. Smeda scored four goals when the South African senior women’s team, Banyana Banyana, thrashed the Comoros — the island nation off the African east coast — 13-0 in the first leg of the African Women’s Championship (AWC) qualifier. She followed that up with two more when Banyana downed Botswana in a friendly game. Still the UWC Ladies FC star striker is determined not to rest on her laurels and has been training hard to secure a place in the team to go to the AWC finals in Namibia in October. “I’m working on my fitness, trying to improve my game,” she said after a Banyana training camp in June. “The final team to go to the AWC has not been finalised yet and there are many good players in the team, so every time
you must do your best to make sure you who is comfortable with the ball on secure your place to go to Namibia.” either foot, Smeda said her ultimate Smeda, who comes from Velddrif dream is to be on that flight to Canada. on the West Coast, was one of only “I’m feeling good at the moment three players from the Western Cape because the team is doing well and I’m at the training camp (another was her also doing well under the new coach,” former UWC Ladies teammate Jermaine the food technologist commented.

he UWC Ladies Football Club treated visitors from the Emory & Henry College (E&H) in the USA to a friendly game at the UWC Sports Stadium in May. But while all E&H teams are nicknamed ‘the Wasps’, it was the UWC team who did most of the stinging. The game was played in a collegial spirit, but UWC thumped their American guests and were comfortable 12-2 winners at the end. The purpose of the game, according to UWC sports administrator Hassan Sobekwa, was to strengthen relations between the two institutions through sport. It is hoped that there will be active exchange between the two institutions to create opportunities for women footballers to further their academic and sport careers abroad. Two UWC footballers,
star striker Jermaine Seoposenwe and goalkeeper Kaylin Swart, have already secured spots at US institutions, winning scholarships to study and play at Samford University and the AIB College of Business, respectively.
Beyond those aspirations, the game also served as a warm-up for the daunting season that lies ahead for the UWC team. They are contending for honours in a number of competitions over the next few months.

Seoposenwe’s US move a boon
F
or a country not typically counted among the world’s footballing giants, the USA takes its football — or soccer, as they call it — very seriously. So reports Jermaine Seoposenwe, the Banyana Banyana and former UWC Ladies FC striker who moved to the USA at the start of the year to continue her studies and football career there. Seoposenwe, who completed her first year in BCom Accounting at UWC in 2013, began her four-year scholarship at Samford University in Alabama, where she’s now doing a degree in business studies and plays for the Samford Bulldogs in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. “Women’s football is big in the US,” said Seoposenwe during her vacation back home in June. “Athletes are taken more seriously and the school treats you in a more professional manner and has put more resources into the sport.”
UWC students Jermaine Seoposenwe (above) and Kaylin Swart have won scholarships to pursue their studies and football careers in the USA.
While South African players are to her mind more skillful, their counterparts in the USA are more powerful and
professional. For instance, she says, at UWC she used to train three times a week and play two games a week. In the USA they train every day, sometimes twice a day, and even smaller games are played at a high standard. “As a result the types of players we have there are more technical and are very strong in physique,” she says. Nicknamed ‘Microphone’ by her new teammates, Seoposenwe’s US career got off to a shaky start. She played just one game before suffering a knee injury that sidelined her for the next few months. She has since recovered and was invited to the latest Banyana Banyana training camp by new coach Vera Pauw. It is not only football that consumes Seoposenwe’s hours in the USA; there’s a lot of studying to be done as well. “Getting a degree is not something I take lightly because I know that I will need to have something to do after soccer,” she says.

Boxer Sinethemba Blom makes UWC and Province proud
UWC alumnus Sinethemba Blom became the national welterweight boxing champion in July this year.
S
inethemba Blom made his university proud when he was crowned national champion at the National Boxing Championships in East London in July. Blom, who fights in the 62 kg welterweight division, said he has been boxing since he was six years old, and has always imagined becoming a champion. “This was my dream, and I knew that with hard work and dedication it would become possible,” the softspoken pugilist said. Blom described the National
Championships this year as challenging. “I was excited to compete this year, as I was disqualified last year - so this year I had something to prove,” Blom said. “This year was different though. I knew what I had to do, and my training and preparation made it possible for me to become number one in the country.” Blom, who comes from Du Noon, said he would like to thank his coach, Andile Tshongolo, for playing a significant part in his success. “A good coach is very important in your boxing career, but you also need to be willing to put in the hard
work,” he said. UWC Head of Boxing, Glen Bentley, said that what makes Blom one of a kind is that not only is he a good boxer, but he also does well with his studies. “Doing well academically is very important, and Blom understands this.” Bentley believes Blom is a true role model in his community, and he is confident that Blom will serve his community as a psychologist in the future.
