A Habitat home after 10 years
The beneficiaries for the Sinomonde (We are patient) housing project in Kayamandi finally received their brand new homes last Friday. The project started in 2002 where 35 residents approached Habitat for Humanity South Africa to help them build homes for their families. The beneficiaries each contributed R100 a month towards their future homes and started engaging with the Stellenbosch Municipality about land ownership. They also performed Habitat’s 60 hours of “sweat equity” where they had to work a total of 60 hours on other people’s homes before qualifying for their own. In 2012, with the group withered down to six, the municipality agreed to give them the rights to their own land. The construction of the houses commenced in February 2013. Each house consists of a lounge, two bedrooms a bathroom and a kitchen. Here (back from left) are Rev Thumakele Gosa, deputy mayor Martin Smuts, Paul du Rand (Habitat), Brian Hilliard (Habitat); (front) and the beneficiaries Anderson Gwele, Noxolo Mbambala, Nombulelo Baduza, Mercy Ndamasa, Nobafundi Mangcunyana and Mdoda Mdoda.

Stay safe this winter
Darryn Hillhouse from the Put Foot Foundation gives a child a pair of school shoes.
Go barefoot for a day The Put Foot Foundation is hosting the first ever official Barefoot Day on Tuesday 18 June. All South Africans are asked to go barefoot to highlight the plight of underprivileged children in South Africa, and to commemorate Youth Month. The Put Foot Foundation has become synonymous with giving children hope, pride and dignity through the gift of a brand new pair of school shoes. Through this simple act children in need are able to play, learn and have fun. National Barefoot Day has been created to highlight the impact of not having the basics, in this case a pair of school shoes. Walking to school in the height of winter is traumatic and the embarrassment of not having shoes overshadows the necessity to learn. National Barefoot Day will fall in Youth Month (June) each year, and will be acknowledged on the first working day following Youth Day on 16 June. Daryn Hillhouse, Put Foot Foundation Chairman, has challenged all South Africans to go barefoot on this day for an hour or a few minutes, to
Join National Barefoot Day on 18 June. experience what millions of young children in our country have to deal with every day, to fully understand the extent of the problem and to show their support for South Africa’s children. South Africans participating in National Barefoot Day can sign up or pledge their support on at www.nationalbarefootday.com and share their story of support via the official National Barefoot Day Facebook
The cold, wet weather during the winter months keeps many people indoors; but in some cases not even this is enough to keep criminals at bay. There are a number of practical measures that can be followed to improve your safety and that of your loved ones and belongings. Rob Dale, Managing Director of ADT Security, Western Cape said the first step is to be more aware of what is going around you, especially in the mornings and evenings when it’s dark outside. “When leaving home, at any time of the day, always ensure that all doors and safety gates in your home are properly locked and that you have activated the alarm system before you shut the door behind you. If you are going out alone, possibly to the shops or the gym, it is important that you let someone know when you expect to return.” Another good idea is to never let your home appear to be empty, regardless of whether you are at home or not. “Visibility can be drastically reduced on grey, gloomy days and crooks could take advantage of this to try to enter your property
or burgle your home. Turn on the lights in one or two rooms; possibly one at the front and another at the rear of the house.” “Also, never leave the driveway gate open - even if someone is home, if it is pouring with rain or if you plan to only be away for a short while – because criminals could see this as an invitation to come onto your property.” Dale added that exercising caution when driving into or out of your property is equally as important. He said grey conditions or heavy rainfall could divert your attention from what is happening around you, leaving you vulnerable to being caught off guard by criminals. “If you have an electric gate, open it before you turn into your driveway; this will prevent hijackers from boxing you in and allow you the chance to get away. If you have to manually open the gate, leave the key in the ignition and the motor running. However you must take the key with you if you have a child in the car. In this kind of hijacking situation the key is a valuable negotiating tool; they want your car and you want your child.”
page. On the day, supporters can also TwitPic or Instagram their favourite images along with messages of solidarity, with the hashtags #BarefootSA or #ShoesOnFeet. “We want to create a movement, and more importantly, we want to help put brand new pairs of 100% leather, locally produced school shoes on the feet of every needy child in South Africa,” pledged Hillhouse. He said that the Put Foot Foundation, a registered NGO, has raised more than R1.5 million since inception in June 2012. “We have helped over 5 000 children and touched the lives of hundreds of teachers, parents and ordinary South Africans. The National Barefoot Day is the next chapter in the Foundations success, and we need all South African’s to get involved, including corporates or individuals – we can all make a difference.” Supporters of the National Barefoot Day, who have registered on the official website, can donate to the Put Foot Foundation or volunteer their time for one of the national shoe drops taking place at schools across South Africa.

Rising chicken prices LEIGH SCHALLER
INFORMATION SOUGHT: The police are looking for this man who can assist them with an investigation of a case of rape, which took place during October 2012. His is known as “Thulani”, is about 1,8 metres tall and between 20 and 25 years old. The victim was walking home when she was approached by the suspect and his friend. The suspect, known to the victim, asked her to be in a relationship with him. The victim refused and the suspect dragged the victim into a shack where he allegedly raped her at knife point.
This man might also help in the investigation. He is between 20 and 25 years old. In a separate incident the same victim was cornered by a man as she was leaving the bathroom. He pushed her inside and told her he didn’t have his chance during her assault in October 2012. He flushed the toilet several times and told her to pretend nothing is happening. As he was trying to rape her, she kicked him in his groin and managed to run away. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of these two men or information regarding the incidents can contact Const LD February at 082 469 1479 or 021-809 9168/5.
Chicken prices are set to rise drastically this month and the residents from Stellenbosch are not happy. The price of imported chicken is set to rise by as much as 50 per cent. This after South Africa’s International Trade Administration Commission increased duties by up to 82 percent. This means that Stellenboschers who pay R30 for a portion of meat may soon have to fork out R45 for the same product. Not everyone is taking the blow lying down. Bistro Meat Centre, situated on the corner of Crozier and Bird Streets, has recently run a campaign to fight the increase. The campaign allowed enraged shoppers to show their support by signing a petition. Stephan Brink from the companies regional office said as many as
10 000 people have signed petitions across the Cape Peninsular. “The increases are absolutely ridiculous,” said Brink. “The chicken portions are the main thing that will be affected. This is only the tip of the iceberg. It will also affect the food services industry.” Shoppers queuing to buy groceries on Bird Street are also concerned. “They can’t make everything more expensive. Bread and electricity have already gone up,” said Louise Anthony “I remember the days where we would raise our own chickens. It was better then,” said Mary Pietersen. “The increase in tariffs is meant to support the local chicken farming industry, which is shedding jobs.” Kekkel en Kraai, situated on Bird Street, only sells South African chicken. They are unsure how it will affect their sales. “I hope our sales get better,” said owner Petro Werth.

Donate blankets for Golden Trolley 2013 campaign Many people will once again have to face the harsh weather without a roof over their heads, a snug coat against the frosty wind and without a warm blanket as protection against the cold of night. This is why Checkers and Shoprite stores in the Western Cape have teamed up with Radio Tygerberg for a winter-collection campaign that
encourages customers to open their hearts and wrap those in need up in warmth, love and hope this winter. These stores join forces with Radio Tygerberg to support Shiloh Synergy – a group of projects committed to the holistic upliftment of underprivileged communities in the Western Cape – with a request for new blankets. The public is invited to contribute
to this worthy cause by donating blankets at Checkers, Checkers Hyper or Shoprite stores in the Western Cape between 1 June and 31 July 2013. The items can be deposited into the Golden Trolleys found at the entrance of the stores. All items collected will be distributed to needy communities throughout the Western Cape by Shiloh Synergy.

Youth Jazz Festival at Artscape
Hier is leerlinge van die Stellenzicht Sekondêre skool saam met die skoolhoof, Lester Allies, en die hoof van Matie Gemeenskapsdiens. Gareth Cornelissen.
86 rekenaars geskenk aan plaaslike skole ILSE ARENDSE Die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se departement elektriese en elektroniese ingenieurswese (EE), in samewerking met Matie Gemeenskapsdiens (MGD) en Inligtingstegnologie (IT), het onlangs 86 rekenaars aan verskeie skole geskenk. Die skole, naamlik Stellenzicht Sekondêr, Weber Gedenk Primêr, Raithby Primêr én die Middelvlei Plaasskool-nasorgprogram, is skole waar studente van die US reeds aktief betrokke is, aldus Gareth Cornelissen, hoof van MGD. MGD, een van die US se Gemeenskapsinteraksie Vlagskip-projekte en ook ’n HOOP-projek-inisiatief, voorsien in die behoeftes van gemeenskappe binne en buite Stellenbosch en is nou al vir 49 jaar lank ’n betroubare diensverskaffer. Die Eenstopdiens vorm deel van hierdie dienste en lei studentegroepe op om in vennootskap met gevestigde nie-winsgewende organisasies volhoubare, doeltreffende gemeenskapsdiens projekte te lewer. Die Eenstopdiens-projekte het verskillende fokuspunte en hanteer kwessies soos leerhulp, die ontwikkeling van lewensvaardighede, sportafrigting, die bevordering van kuns en kultuur en gesondheidsorg. Michelle Pietersen, senior-projekbestuurder van die Eenstopdiens, het by ’n vorige geleentheid gesê daar is sowat 1 200 vrywilligers in die program wat meer as 3 000 mense bevoordeel. Prof. Thomas Jones, hoof van die EE-departement, het gesê sy departement was maar slegs een van talle rolspelers wat deel gehad het in die skenking van die rekenaars. “Ons
voorgraadse elektroniese laboratoriums is toegerus met sowat 180 moderne rekenaars. Ons rekenaars moet in staat wees om te werk met ingewikkelde en intensiewe simulasiesagteware wat deur ons studente gebruik word. As sodanig, wanneer ons gedwing word om ons rekenaars te hernu en te vervang, is hierdie rekenaars inderdaad nog baie nuttig vir ander persone. “Ná ’n onlangse opgradering het ons besef dit sou ’n skande wees om die rekenaars verlore te laat gaan. Ons het toe besluit om MGD sowel as IT te kontak om ons te help om die rekenaars te versprei aan skole wat ’n behoefte het aan sulke toerusting. IT het hulself uitstekend van hul taak gekwyt deur die rekenaars op te knap, terwyl MGD die skole geidentifiseer het. Die onderskeie personeellede was gretig om te help, want hulle het die waarde van hierdie poging besef.” Jones meen hulle sal beslis weer in die toekoms rekenaars skenk. “Ons vervang gereeld ons laboratoriumrekenaars en sal beslis die rekenaars op dieselfde manier skenk. Dit is ’n goeie voorbeeld van US-entiteite wat saamwerk tot voordeel van ons gemeenskappe. Hierdie soort inisiatief is goed vir ons gemeenskappe en vir ons universiteit, want ons help om rekenaarfasiliteite by ons plaaslike skole te verbeter, terwyl skole op hul beurt leerlinge kan toerus en voorberei op die uitdagende tegniese programme hier by die US. Beslis ’n wen-wen-situasie vir almal.” Lester Allies, skoolhoof van Stellenzicht Sekondêr, het gesê hulle het beslis ’n behoefte en waardeer altyd toerusting wat in ’n goeie werkende toestand is. “Hierdie rekenaars kom op ’n welkome tyd en sal beslis goed aangewend word.”
The 11th Youth Jazz Festival will take place at the Artscape on 14 June with seven exceptionally talented young soloists who successfully auditioned to perform at this significant event.

We are busy improving your experience at the Traffic Department. Unfortunately it will mean that there will be limited Traffic Services from 7 – 18 June 2013. The Traffic Department will unfortunately have to institute limited services from 7 – 18 June 2013 due to legislatively required construction work at its offices. During the construction period it is hoped to keep interruptions to the normal service to a minimum. All transactions related to registration and licensing of Motor Vehicles will be done at the Vehicle Testing Station along with application for roadworthy transactions. The Payment of Fines, Driving Licences and Learners Licence application transactions will be done at Driver's Licence Testing Centre. The operating hours on 7 June 2013 will be from 08:00- 12:00. From Monday 10 June 2013 to 14 June 2013 the operating hours for all services, including the payment of fines will be from 08:00 to 14:30. All Learners Licence tests for Wednesday, 12 June will be rescheduled. No Learner's Licence tests will be scheduled during the construction period. On Tuesday, 18 June 2013 the offices will close at 12:00. The operating hours for all services will return to normal on 19 June 2013. Stellenbosch Municipality apologises for any inconvenience caused as a result of the construction.
Ons is besig om dienslewering by die Verkeersdepartement te verbeter. Ongelukkig beteken dit dat beperkte dienste tussen 7 – 18 Junie 2013 gebied sal word.

Die Verkeersdepartement kan ongelukkig slegs beperkte dienste tussen 7 – 18 Junie 2013 bied weens wetlikverpligte konstruksiewerk by hul kantore. Daar word gepoog vir minimum versteuring van normale dienste tydens die konstruksietydperk. Alle motorvoertuigregistrasies en lisensieëringstransaksies sal by die Motortoeststasie gedoen word, insluitend aansoeke vir padwaardigheidsertifikaarte. Die Betaling van Boetes, Aansoeke vir Bestuurders- en Leerlingslisensies sal by die Bestuurderslisensie Toestssentrum gedoen word. Die kantoorure op 7 Junie 2013 sal van 08:00 – 12:00 wees. Vanaf Maandag 10 Junie tot 14 Junie 2013 is die kantoorure vir alle dienste, insluitend die betaling van boetes: 08:00 – 14:30. Alle Leerlinglisensietoetse vir Woensdag 12 Junie sal herskeduleer word. Geen leerlinglisensietoeste sal tydens die konstruksietydperk geskeduleer word nie. Die kantore sal om 12:00 op Dinsdag, 18 Junie 2013 sluit. Die kantoorure vir alle dienste sal op 19 Junie 2013 weer na die normale terugkeer. Munisipaliteit Stellenbosch vra om verskoning vir enige ongerief wat die konstruksie mag veroorsaak.

Vroue ly die meeste in Suid-Afrika Die gebrek aan elektrisiteit in miljoene huishoudings in SuidAfrika raak vroue dikwels meer regstreeks as mans. Die rede is dat juis vroue vir hul huisgesinne moet kook en hul karige inkomste gebruik om onder meer paraffien te koop, sodat hulle dit as brandstof vir stofies kan gebruik. In Suid-Afrika is die gebruik van paraffien een van die groot oorsake van brand in huise in informele nedersettings. “Na raming beloop die koste van paraffienverwante beserings sowat R104 miljard per jaar. Dit is 50% meer as die jaarlikse omset in paraffienverkope,” het Makoma Lekalakala van die organisasie Earthlife onlangs by die Feminist Table gesê. Die Feminist Table was ’n geleentheid vir feministe in die akademie, asook grondvlak-aktiviste om oor sake te gesels wat vroue raak.
Die konferensie wat deur die departement sosiologie en sosiale antropologie van die Universiteit Stellenbosch aangebied is, is geborg deur die Friedrich Ebert Stigting. Earthlife is ’n organisasie sonder winsbejag wat as drukgroep oor omgewingsake funksioneer. Met die tweedaagse konferensie kon feministe vanuit die akademie sowel as grondvlak-aktiviste besin oor die ou en nuwe uitdagings wat vroue daagliks te bowe moet kom. Lekalakala het gesê dit is onaanvaarbaar dat groot energieverbruikers soos die myne minder per eenheid krag betaal as die gewone verbruiker. Sy het beklemtoon dat vroue aan die voorpunt moet wees in die stryd om te verseker dat hernubare en ander skoon energiebronne ontwikkel word. Klimaatsverandering maak dit dringend noodsaaklik dat vroue aandring op besluite en beleid wat

sisies. Feminisme behoort veel meer te wees as om ’n magsposisie te beklee en gelyke regte met mans te hê. “Sosialistiese feminisme dui op ’n gelyke gemeenskap op alle vlakke. Die werklikheid in die land is egter dat vroue in magsposisies meer bekommerd is oor duur motors en huise vir hulself as om vroue as ’n groep te help en om ’n gelyke samelewing te help bou.”

velopment) het onder meer gepraat oor voedselonsekerheid en armoede. Volgens haar het tot 80% van die inwoners in sekere gebiede van die land nie toegang tot voldoende voedsel nie. “Aan die hoof van talle van die huishoudings is vroue wat in algehele armoede lewe.” Sy het bygevoeg dat daar in Suid-Afrika ook buitensporige ryk vroue is. Dr. Mamphela Ramphele, leier van Agang, is byvoorbeeld een van die rykste vroue in Afrika en Maria Ramos, uitvoerende hoof van ABSA, verdien luidens onlangse berigte sowat R17 miljoen per jaar. “Ek sien dit egter nie as vooruitgang vir vroue in die algemeen nie,” het Cock gesê. “Wat doen die vroue wat topposte het en groot geld verdien vir die gemeenskap? In Suid-Afrika word die gaping tussen ryk en arm al groter. “In die land word die konsep feminisme gereduseer tot magspo-

ook die omgewing in ag neem – en hernubare energie is verkieslik bo die gebruik van skadelike energiebronne soos steenkool en paraffien. “Die beskikbaarheid van energie is sentraal tot sosiale ontwikkeling, maar die prys van goedere, insluitend kos, elektriese krag en paraffien as energiebron, styg voortdurend. Dit word verbind met die stygende brandstofprys. Vroue in van die mees gemarginaliseerde omgewings moet die stygings met karige inkomste absorbeer. Maar al word vroue so regstreeks geraak, word hul behoeftes geïgnoreer wanneer daar oor beleid rondom energiesake gepraat word.” Volgens Lekalakala moet vroue hulle bemagtig deur seker te maak hulle verstaan die wetlike prosesse wat energiebesluite betref.

Littering is a problem that starts with the action of a single person. We, however, have to teach our children not to litter so that the environment is kept clean. Here are a few facts about littering and how we can prevent it: )Don’t throw your fastfood containers, cans or bottles out of a car window. Use a litter bag in your vehicle or on public transport. )Dropping papers, packets, plastic bags or other rubbish while walking is also littering. )Why should we worry about litter? Because it is costing you money. Millions of
rands are spent picking up litter each year. )Our country’s natural beauty is spoilt by careless littering. )Litter not only looks ugly, but it also threatens public health as rubbish piles up and becomes homes for rats and other pests. )Litter can harm the environment by contributing to making the environment dirty and poisonous. It can also harm animals and plants. )Rubbish on streets, whether it is dropped on purpose or it falls out of an overfull dustbin, can get washed or blown into the storm
drains. The water from the storm drains goes directly into our river systems, where it can cause water pollution and becomes a danger to water creatures as well as to plants. )Always put your rubbish in a proper container. If there isn’t one available, keep your rubbish until you find one. )If you have municipal refuse removal in your area, put your rubbish out for collection as close to pick-up time as possible. )Make sure the bags are closed properly so that dogs and other animals cannot get in and scatter rubbish everywhere.

Foundation visits HB Thom Upon discovering that the Stellenbosch University Drama Department would be putting on a performance of Rumpelstiltskin at the HB Thom theatre, the Anna Foundation knew they could not let this opportunity slide. Almost the entire theatre was booked out for the Anna Foundation’s primary school pupils who all live on surrounding farms in the area. The main character (Rumpelstiltskin), who was also the villain, proved to be rather frightening to some of the younger children as he would appear on stage, out of nowhere, in a huge ball of smoke. Each time one of the children would pipe up: “Oh no, not that rude man again!” or a variation thereof. The Anna Foundation children became so caught up in the story that during the final wedding scene all of them rose up out of their chairs and danced along with all the wedding guests, much to the amusement of the other theatre-goers. After the show the children had the opportunity to meet the cast, shaking hands or exchanging hugs with their favourite characters. The Anna Foundation is pleased to report that most of the children made peace with “the rude man”.

The children had a whale of a time at HB Thom.

Idasvallei se sokkerklub Die vier sokkerklubs in Idasvallei kyk tans na die moontlikheid om as een saam te smelt. ’n Werkgroep bestaande uit verteenwoordigers van Ida’s Valley FC, Nelsons FC, United FC en Victoria Swifts FC het reeds verskeie vergaderings gehou om hierdie inisiatief te bespreek. Die voorstel is dat die nuwe klub ’n gemeenskapsklub sal wees wat as ’n eenheid te werk gaan om beter blootstelling vir plaaslike spelers te verskaf. Een van die grootste uitdagings vir die vier klubs is die situasie waarin junior sokker hom bevind. Feitlik geen klub het genoeg spelers om in
elke ouderdomsgroep te kan meeding nie en samesmelting behoort hierdie probleem uit te skakel. Die huidige voorstel is dat elke klub nog steeds in sy liga speel, maar dit onder die vaandel van die gesamentlike klub doen. Samesprekings is nog in ’n beginstadium en die groep erken dat eenwording vir sommige ’n emosionele saak kan wees. Die klubs wil graag afskop met die samestelling van ’n Bayhill o. 19span wat die betrokke gemeenskap sal verteenwoordig. Bel Oswin Groenewald by 083 254 8913 of stuur ’n e-pos na oswing@tenacityinc.co.za.

Boland Central cross country champions The slogan “Come hail or high water, we will run” got new meaning this past Saturday in Ceres when the six districts in the Boland challenged each other to determine who the 2013 Boland Cross Country Districts Champion will be. The six Boland districts are Boland Central, Boland North, Boland West, Boland North West, Boland South and Witzenberg. They challenged each other on a soaking wet, muddy and slippery coaching course. The athletes’ endurance and mental toughness were tested to capacity. Although the weather was very testing for the athletes, the organisation of the 2013 Boland
Cross Country Districts Championships was excellent and the athletes enjoyed the competition. The champion was determined by means of points. The district that achieved the most success in all the age categories of the competition were crowned the champion. The Boland Cross Country Districts Champion for 2013 is Boland Central who scored 107 points. In second place is Boland North (92) and the 2012 winners Boland West (83) took the third spot on the winner’s podium. The final placings were: 1. Boland Central 107; 2. Boland North 92; 3. Boland West 83; 4. Boland North West 56; 5. Boland South 46; 6. Witzenberg 37.
