Skryfkursus by Taalmonument DIE bekroonde skrywer Rachelle Greeff bied van Vrydag 14 tot Saterdag 15 September ’n skryfkursus by die Afrikaanse Taalmonument in die Paarl aan. Kursusgangers het die keuse om in die maand ná die kursus ook hul eie skryfwerk vir kommentaar voor te lê. Die kursus sluit ook een borgskap in. Greeff is veral bekend vir haar kortverhale en die toneelstuk Die Naaimasjien wat in Augustus in Edinburgh, Skotland, opgevoer word. Haar tweede toneelstuk, Buitepos, met die bekroonde Deon Lotz in die hoofrol, was vroeer vanjaar by die Woordfees en die KKNK te sien. Haar koerantwerk behels boekresensies, onderhoude met skrywers asook ’n tweeweeklikse rubriek, Voorwoord, vir Rapport. Kursusgangers ontvang ’n maand voor die kursus elk ’n kortverhaal asook ’n koerantrubriek of tydskrifskets. Dit dien as wegspringplek vir die eerste sessie. Daaropvolgende sessies fokus op die taalglipse en stylduiwels
waarvan nuwe of potensiële skrywers moet kennis dra voor hulle by uitgewers en mediaredakteurs aanklop. As opsionele ekstra het kursusgangers agterna ’n maand waarin hulle óf ’n rubriek (620 woorde) óf ’n kortverhaal (nie langer nie as 2 000 woorde) kan skryf. Dit word eenmalig elektronies en vertroulik deur die kursusleier geredigeer en aan die kursusganger terugbesorg. Dié aanbod word by die kursusfooi ingesluit. Die sluitingsdatum vir aansoeke is 14 Augustus. Die Taalmonument maak voorsiening vir ’n borgskap vir een kursusganger, wat bondig deur die voornemende kursusganger asook ’n mentor gemotiveer moet word. Die kursus word tot 12 persone beperk en vind daagliks van 09:00 tot 16:00 plaas. Die kursusfooi is R2 000 per persoon. ’n Ligte vingermiddagete en koffie/tee is ingesluit.

WAITING. There was great excitement in Mbekweni amongst residents who attendend the imbizo presented by Obed Bapela, deputy minister in the presidency, last Friday. Here residents await the arrival of the minister in the Mbekweni indoor sport hall. Bapela is responsible for performance monitoring and evaluation of the government and came to listen to complaints about service delivery.
Department to take control of PHP contractors THE Western Cape Government Human Settlements Minister Bonginkosi Madikizela has stated that the Department will sign contracts with all PHP (People’s Housing Process) service providers by the end of July, to ensure quality service delivery. Madikizela delivered his comments in the keynote address at an information session for PHP contractors and support organisations in Cape Town. “PHP is a viable route for housing delivery, and is one of our most important programs. However, there are certain things I am not happy about, and some challenges haven’t been dealt with. These problems must be dealt with now. “The first issue is the appointment of the service providers. At the end of the day, the Department must account for taxpayers’ money spent. We need to ensure that from now, going forward, the contractual agreement will be between the Department and the contractor, or service provider. “Until now the support organisation (a group appointed by the community to represent their interests and liaise with the De-
partment), would form an agreement with the service provider, yet this hasn’t always worked. As the Department we need to ensure consistency of delivery and quality, and we will do this by taking more control of the delivery space. “I want all contracts for PHP to be changed to being between the Department and the service providers, by the end of July. If any service provider needs to be fired, then they must be fired if they are not producing good quality work, or if they are causing chaos.. “PHP allows beneficiaries to take part in the construction of houses. We believe this enhances the quality of the houses, and the owners are also proud of their houses, and don’t usually sell them. People also learn skills they can use elsewhere. “We as the Department have the final say as to who gets houses. We must make sure that the people who really need houses get them first and there is no queue jumping.. “Finally, there is a misconception on how PHP starts. PHP is started by people living on their own land, with title deeds. PHP is for established communities.”
