Schools cut off Swamped NICOLE MCCAIN
Macassar schools are struggling to make ends meet in the face of severe budget restrictions by the education department – which has grouped these learning institutions with more affluent schools in the Helderberg Schools are classified by the education department on a scale of one to five according to how financially stable the area around the school is. This system, called the “quintile” system, sees the education department award the most funding to quintile-one schools, which are in the poorest areas. The least funding is given to quintile-five schools, which are in the most affluent areas. However, the four primary and two high schools in Macassar and Firgrove are all classified as quintile-five schools – and thus get the lowest rate of funding from the education department. They are lumped together with Somerset West high schools such as Gordon High and Parel Vallei, because they fall in the same area, say Macassar principals Yusuf Abrahams of Macassar Secondary and Vernon Hendricks of Firgrove Primary. Rusthof Secondary and Strand Secondary are classified as quintile-four schools, while Khanyolwethu and Simanyene High Schools in Lwandle are classified as quintile-three schools. Hope Mokgatlhe, ministerial spokesperson for the Department of Basic Education, says the quintiles are “determined by the provinces, using national guidelines”. Bronagh Casey, spokesperson for Western Cape education MEC Donald Grant, confirms this, but says the national guidelines give the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) very little leeway. She explains that schools in quintiles one, two and three are “no-fee schools” – and are attended by 40% of the pupils in the province – while schools in quintiles four and five charge school fees. Hendricks says Firgrove receives less than 15% of its budget from the education department. However, roughly 50% of parents in the area are unemployed, according to Abrahams. Ronald Rass, deputy principal at Macassar Primary, says between 50% and 60% of his parents are unemployed and unable to pay the school fees of R350 per year. Parents are only able to pay about
10% of the fees, Rass estimates, which forces the school to rely on fundraising and donations from sponsors. Abrahams says many pupils are unable to afford books and stationery, and will often go through a whole term without having a notebook. Macassar Secondary is also reliant on donations from past pupils, he says. Roughly 110 of the school’s 770 pupils are exempt from school fees, which creates a shortfall of R80 000. He often worries about where he will find the money to pay the telephone bill, and this even after the school has used the WCED’s subsidy for pupils who are exempt from paying school fees. Firgrove Primary has a feeding scheme for 280 pupils, says Hendricks, which he says shows that the pupils don’t come from wealthy homes – “they come to school hungry”. Hendricks says the lack of funding means Firgrove can’t hire additional teachers; maintenance and repairs have to be prioritised. “We can’t afford to replace our fence, which is 25 years old.” Casey explains that the WCED has allocated over R40 million to more than 500 schools in the province to help quintile-four and -five schools whose pupils receive fee exemptions. Abrahams says the school governing bodies decide which pupils are exempted, and a portion of the fees is paid by the WCED. Macassar Secondary received less than R20 000 in subsidies, a far cry from the amount Abrahams estimates is needed. Casey says the subsidies have limited success if the system is flawed. “Ultimately the problem lies with the quintile system.” According to Casey, MEC Grant has on a number of occasions asked basic education minister Angie Motshekga to review the system. Mokgatlhe says a school can apply at provincial level to be placed at a lower quintile. However, Casey says this is not often successful, due to the strict nature of the national guidelines.

Khanyolwethu turns the page NICOLE MCCAIN The pupils of Khanyolwethu Secondary School are immersed in creating the school’s second annual magazine. Launched in August last year, the magazine stands as a shining example of what a handful of dedicated pupils can produce. “Many thought it could not be done,” says Gabriel Mangwiro, the teacher who started the magazine. “Even the principal had doubts!” Headmaster Eric Titipane freely admits his doubts: “I really had cold feet. We had not budgeted for the magazine, and I didn’t know what the impact would be.” But Mangwiro invited interested pupils to come on board as reporters, and taught the 10 enthusiastic youngsters how to take photos and videos with his own camera. “It took a lot of sacrificed time, both mine and the students’,” says
Mangwiro as he explains the process. He taught the pupils how to conduct interviews, and then set up a basic questionnaire for them. Once they’d interviewed the members of the school’s management, they wrote their report. Mangwiro then edited it and typed it up. They worked tirelessly from March to August to produce the magazine, and the community’s curiosity was piqued. “The staff and community were eager to see it,” says Mangwiro. They wouldn’t be disappointed. It was launched early in August, and a segment on the school and its magazine was featured on a local TV station. The community was astounded, says Mangwiro. “It brought pleasure for the people to have the school at that height. They all say: ‘You put our school on the map, and took it to heights we never thought it could be.’” Titipane says that, despite his
initial misgivings, he was very pleased with the final product. “I was over the moon. Tears were running down my cheeks. I never thought our school could produce a document like this!” The magazine is evidence of the transformation taking place at the school, says Titipane. Since his appointment early in 2011, he has been working on problems with discipline at Khanyolwethu. He says he started with the teachers at the school, enforcing a dress code and promoting self-discipline. He then targeted the parents, encouraging their involvement. Previously, he says, the school struggled to get parents to attend meetings, but since bringing more focus to the meetings, and dealing with only one grade at a time, parents have started to take more of an interest. And finally, Titipane says, he worked with the pupils to improve their behaviour. The school ex-

Among them are (seated, from left) Sontshatsha Chikhona, Matolengwe, Bojana Qaqamba and Jonasi Xola. Standing are Ndengesi Siphesihle, Mazimela Mncedi and Sandisiwe Mhali. Photo: NICOLE MCCAIN pelled three pupils last year for theft, and he says this was an eyeopener for the other youngsters. He has also implemented a new system that sees pupils punished with detention or manual labour
for getting to school late, and he’s made afternoon study sessions compulsory. “It’s been a baptism by fire,” admits Titipane. “But it’s been a miracle turnaround.”
Jonges oor Vadersdag NICOLE MCCAIN Met Vadersdag net om die draai, het Gazette met leerlinge by Somerset-Wes Primêre Skool gesels oor die belangrike dag in hul pa’s se lewe.
“Ek wil net soos my pa wees ek groot is,” sê Travis Michaels. “Ek wil graag saam met hom werk. Hy is ’n ambulansbestuurder” Foto’s:
“Ons vier Vadersdag omdat hy sorg vir ons,” sê Tyra Leigh Badenhorst. “Ons speel en doen lekker dinge saam elke dag, maar op Vadersdag gee ons presente vir hom.”
Emma le Clos sê sy kies elke jaar ’n spesiale present vir haar pa. “Ek koop ’n geskenk soos ’n beker met sterre daarop. Laas jaar het ons vir hom ’n lekker winterbaadjie gekry. Ek het nog nie dié jaar begin inkopies doen nie.”
Refilwe Kortjass sê sy weet haar pa is baie lief vir haar. “Hy wil my altyd beskerm, en hy hou my snoesig. Ek gaan hom agt drukkies gee op Vadersdag.”
Ruan Burger sê hy gaan ook sy pa met ’n geskenk op Vadersdag bederf. “Ek gaan hom ’n present gee, maar ek mag nie sê wat dit is nie, want hy mag nie weet wat hy gaan kry nie!”
Nicole McCain
Lea Vale bederf haar pa of Vadersdag met tuisgemaakte presentjies. “Ek maak vir hom prentjies en kaartjies in koeverte.
Cealan Jooste sê hy wil net soos sy pa wees wanneer hy groot word. “My pa werk by Cadbury en bring sjokolade vir my. Ek wil ook eendag daar werk.”
Cassidy Booyens bring baie kwaliteittyd met haar pa deur. “Hy is lief vir my en ek is lief vir hom. Ons gaan stap en swem saam, en hy het my geleer fietsry”
Alicia Bergstedt sê dat niemand maak warm sjokolade soos haar pa nie. “In die middae maak hy vir my hot chocolate. Dis lekker. Dit proe beter as wanneer my ma dit maak.”
“Ons vier Vadersdag, want ons is baie lief vir ons pa,” sê Purity Ndlovu. “Ons maak tee vir hom en bak cupcakes en ek help my mammie om tjips te maak. Ons maak ook maak presente vir hom en gaan winkels toe om ’n koek te koop.”

Help waar jy kan Verlede week se reën en windstorms het ’n mens laat besef die winterkoue het met felheid toegeslaan. ’n Aantal besighede in die Helderberg het windskade aangemeld, terwyl die Stad Kaapstad se rampbestuur bekend gemaak het dat sowat 1 000 mense in informele gebiede daar deur die storms geaffekteer is. Huise se dakke het afgewaai, of die huise het verspoel.
Daagliks sien ’n mens so baie kinders wat skraps geklee is in die koue weer en sopkombuise word oorval deur oud en jonk. Helderbergers kan help deur bestaande projekte van skole en welsynsorganisies te ondersteun. Komberse, warm klere of niebederfbare kos kan ook by die Gazette se kantoor by Mynhardtstraat 37 in die Gants-sentrum afgelaai word.
Tabakvrye omgewing ) Wêreld tabakvryedag moet elke dag onder mense se aandag gebring word. Rook is ’n vieslike gewoonte en sigarette is kankerstokkies. As jy nie van rook sterf nie, kan jy van die inaseming daarvan sterf al rook jy nie. Net die tabakmaatskappye trek voordeel daaruit. R.Nel, Strand
Kinderverwaarlosing ) Vandag se ouers bring net kinders in die wêreld, maar hulle kan nie na hulle omsien nie, want hul kan nie eers na hulself omsien nie. Kinders raak weg in winkels en op strande terwyl die polisie ernstige misdade kon bekamp. Die meeste van die ouers drink net en gee glad nie om wat van sy kind word nie. Drank kom bo die kind. Smit, Somerset-Wes ) Dit is uiters sleg en pateties van ouers wat nie omgee wat van hul kinders word nie. As die kinders nie weg raak nie, raak die ouers dronk. Geen wonder so baie kinders word ontvoer en vermoor nie; dis ’n probleem wat net gaan vererger. As ouers kinders in die wêreld bring, moet hulle na hul kinders omsien, anders moet jy glad nie kinders hê nie. Rynhardt, Somerset-Wes ) Ouers wat hul kinders alleen los moet eenvoudig in die bek geruk word deur die gereg. Hulle moet voel en in die tronk vrot, want as jy nie omgee vir jou eie kind nie hoe kan die gereg vir jou omgee? Nee wat, Pappa wag vir jou daar in die selle.
ne is oorvol, wat daartoe lei dat passasiers moet staan, maar steeds dieselfde prys vir hul rit moet betaal. Dit is soms die oorsaak van geweld. Die oorvol treine laat mense ongemaklik voel, want baie mense stoot en druk en dit lei tot beserings op die trein. Soms is treine so vol, dat mense aan die deure hang sodat hul betyds by hul werk kan wees. Party mense is baie ongemanierd op die trein en die feit dat die trein oorvol is maak dit nog veel erger, want mense druk en stoot en dit veroorsaak dat party passasiers geweldadig raak en baklei. Wanneer mense ’n trein verpas moet hul soms langer as ’n uur vir ’n volgende trein wag. Dit maak mense laat vir hul werk en dan kan dit tot hul afdanking lei en hul kanse om ’n ander werk te kry verswak.
Geldverkwisting ) Die regering sê hul wil ons land beter maak, maar hul dra net by tot geweld en armoede deurdat hul niks doen aan die feit dat elektrisiteit, trein-,huur- en petrolonkostes styg nie, maar mense se pay bly dieselfde. Hou op om armoede aan te help deur paaie se name te verander en tonnels te bou. Dit skep verwarring en onnodige uitgawes. Help armoede beveg deur meer werk te skep deur bv. skole, kuns en kultuurplekke te ontwikkel; kuns en kultuur-areas waar sekere mense hulself kan help ontwikkel en ook kan werk waar hul meer talentvol is. Bou ook hospitale en skep toeriste-aantreklikhede soos kampeerplekke. Dit sal meer uitlanders na ons land lok en help met armoede in ons land. Skep ook meer naskoolse opleidingsinstansies, sodat mense hul vaardighede kan ontwikkel.

READY FOR ACTION: The Metho Squirrels u.13 rugby team proudly display their new pre-match warm up kit, sponsored by Baard Taxis, Yes Beverages and two parents from the school. And it’s a gift the youngsters well deserve: even without a rugby field, Methodist Primary School puts 10 teams of Squirrels, ranging from u.7 to u.13, into play every single season – a legacy that has continued for 22 years. So far this year, these u.13s have racked up a record to be proud of. They won the Indigo Spur Sevens backline division tournament and the inaugural Ricky Petersen sevens tournament; in the recent inter-school match they lost 14–15 against De Hoop and 12–19 to Lochnerhof, then beat Somerset Primary 14–7, Somerset College with a staggering 47–0, and Danie Ackerman 36–0.

HANEL HOFMEYR, a Grade R teacher at Vergezicht Private School, is taking off her thinking cap and putting on her running shoes. This year, in an attempt to raise funds for her school, she aims to complete three ultramarathons; the money raised will go towards extra learning tools. Having completed two ultra-marathons thus far – the 56 km Two Oceans Marathon on 7 April and the 89 km Comrades Marathon on 3 June – the final stretch is in sight. Hanel will take on her last-ultra marathon, the 80 km Puffer Mountain Challenge from Cape Point to the Waterfront, on 25 August. Hanel says each marathon has been extremely tough, but an amazing experience she would never trade for anything. Now on the agenda is nothing but preparation for the Puffer – four days of training every week at the Somerset West branch of Run/Walk for Life, based at the Radloff Park baseball club, where she started a running programme four years ago. It was through this running programme, and help from coach and club manager Marie Barnard, that Hanel was able to complete the annual Winelands Marathon in November, allowing her to qualify for the Two Oceans and Comrades Marathons. Hanel is highly motivated by the pupils of Vergezicht; she says she feels compelled to give back to the children she learns so much from on a daily basis.
“They encourage me to try my best, to hang on, and to finish each race. Regardless of their own barriers, they too continue their race for learning,” says Hanel. So far the school has received R1 600 in donations, which will be spent on buying a computer program to assist pupils who need a little help with their reading. An account has been opened for those who would like to contribute to this worthy cause and make a difference in the lives of the pupils at Vergezicht. If you would like to support Hanel please phone her on 076 440 3260..

Geluk is ’n nuwe wendyhuis Macassar-inwoner Juanita Phillips se droom het waar geword toe sy onlangs ’n wendy-huis gekry het.
TWENTY YEARS AND COUNTING: Patch, a non-profit organisation in the Helderberg working to support children who have been sexually abused, celebrated its 20th birthday on Friday. The organisation has grown from humble beginnings – with just one paid employee – into an organisation with 13 employees and 7 offices throughout the Helderberg and surrounds. In 1992 the organisation helped 35 children, but today that number has increased to more than 500. The Patch team members in the photo are (at the back, from left) Moné Nothnagel (social worker), Sherleen Brink (social auxiliary worker), Elanie Jacobs (counsellor), Antoinette Bennett (bookkeeper), Amanda-Lea Jones (fundraiser) and Zelodia Cousins (social worker). In front is Ada Buys, (Patch unit manager).
From left are Clifford Martinus (coordinator of the Oasis Assessment Centre), Councillor Beverley Cortje-Alcock (mayoral committee member for social and early childhood development) and Francis Lukas (secretary of the Strand CPF and chair of the Helderberg Cares Committee). Photos: NICOLE MCCAIN
Giving the homeless a choice The Oasis Assessment Centre, which works with homeless people in the Helderberg, was officially opened by Councillor Beverley CortjeAlcock, the City of Cape
Town’s mayoral committee member for social and early childhood development, late last month. Gazette was there to snap some of the faces at the event.
From left are Helderberg Cares committee members Harcourt Jooste, Andrew Arnolds, Nicolas Petersen, Gertruida Hendricks, Shaun Phillips, Ruben Dames (vice chairperson), Shareen Schroeder (secretary) and Francis Lukas (chairperson).
Jantjie Booysen (Social Development facilitator) Wayne Spammer, (manager of the Somerset West Night Shelter), Getruida Hendricks (project coordinator at the assessment centre), and Adriana Joubert (secretary of the night shelter).
Dié welkome skenking is moontlik gemaak met die hulp van ’n SomersetWes-egpaar, Christiaan en Ilse van Eeden. Juanita, wat daagliks vir meer as 100 kinders sorg terwyl hul ouers werk, wou graag ’n warm, veilige plek vir die kinders gedurende die winter hê. Ilse, ’n plaaslike Duitse onderwyseres, is die organiseerder van ’n jaarlikse skole-uitruilprogram met die Bernard Strugel-Gimnasium in Memmingen, Duitsland. Kort ná Juanita se storie in die Gazette verskyn het, het sy met Juanita in aanraking gekom omdat sy gemeen het ’n Duitse groep kan help met haar versoek vir ’n wendy-huis. ’n Groep van 21 gr. 10-leerlinge het vanaf 3 tot 21 April in ons land gekuier. Hulle wou nie net deur ons land reis en van ons kultuur leer nie, maar wou ook by ’n gemeenskapsprojek betrokke raak. Die groep het ’n dag in Macassar met Juanita deurgebring om eerstehands haar werk in haar gemeenskap te ervaar. Hulle het ook finansieel bygedra tot die wendy-huis. Juanita was verheug toe die kamer deur JC Wendy Houses, wat ook R2 000 tot die projek bygedra het, opgerig is. “Ek het baie gehuil toe ek hoor dat ek die wendy-huis kry en wil baie dankie sê aan hulle.” Juanita bedank ook die Stad Kaapstad, die Halli Trust, Paul Goddard en sy vrou Petra Vandecasteele vir hul donasies.
Juanita Phillips het ook donasies van kos gekry. Dié gebruik sy om die kinders, wat daagliks meer word, te voed.

St Peter’s pupils splash out at gala The pupils of St Peter’s Academy in Strand made waves when they raced through the Strand indoor pool amid the school’s first ever gala. The school, which at the moment sees to the educational needs of 70 pupils, had identified swimming as the ideal way to further develop its pupils, reasoning that the sport was one most could participate in. With the assistance of the lifeguards at the indoor pool, the school set up a swimming programme, and the youngsters got training with zeal. A spokesperson says the programme has been a huge success, and several pupils have been identified to attend advanced swimming coaching with Mark Dixon, a registered sport science facilitator and a Learn to Swim assessor with Swimming South Africa. Get in touch with St Peter’s Academy on 021 853 4717 or at st.ptrs.acad@gmail.com. The school can be found at 12 John Walls Street, Strand.
ARGENTINIAN WAVE: Two-year-old Luke Constance from Sir Lowry’s Pass (middle) with a member of the CRAI Rugby Club from Argentina on the evening of their match against Sir Lowrians, played at Sir Lowry Park last month. The night match was the first ever evening game played at the local sports grounds. The capacity crowd was entertained by some seriously exciting running rugby by the home team and solid scrumming by the visiting Argentinians. Although the home team won the match 31–19, rugby was the real winner of this historic encounter.
The stars of the night were (back row) teachers N Suleiman and H Bennie.In front of them are teachers L Brent, M Martin and N Liebenberg. The swimmers are (from left) Toni Davids, Alicia Zerf, Cumisa Gungutha, Robyn Voskuil, Peter-John Saal, Jarred Bosman, Lisa Nqabini, Nashe Fredericks, Brandon Huni and Singatha Nyongwana.

Preserving rugby history The Western Province Rugby Football Union will soon give recognition to the many talented rugby players who would have graced international rugby fields if not for the country’s previous discriminatory laws. Recognition will also be given to the great clubs, as well as the club and provincial rugby players and administrators, of yesteryear. The zones to be covered by this initiative include the Helderberg, Somerset West and District, Somerset Board and former Federation. Clubs, players and administrators from this era include Macassar (Riversides, Vinyards, Fauradians, Kramat and Raithby
Universals), Hotspurs, Thistles, All-Saints, Somerset RFC, Sir Lowrians (St Matthews and Rangers), Strand United, St Georges, Vergelegen (Lilies), Marines RFC, Ex-Scholars, Auroras RFC, Strand Pioneers, Wesley RFC, Strand Wesley RFC, Strand RFC, the Gordon’s Bay clubs of Temperance Town and Flying Eagles, and Grabouw club Perseverance. Send through your club histories, player information, and photos, stories and anecdotes from the old days as soon as possible.
