Several elderly residents had to wait in vain for their social grant pay-outs last Monday after a mix-up occurred with the dates.

According to Lindall Adams, almost 200 people sat outside the Stellenbosch town hall for hours waiting for their monthly cheque.

“These people are our grandparents, the sick, the elderly and those who have difficulties to walk. Everyone had been waiting from as early as 07:00 for the town hall doors to open at 08:00. Unfortunately the doors stayed closed and these people were unaware that they would not receive their social grant pay-out that day.

“I phoned the Sassa (South African Social Security Agency) offices and was told that the people will not receive their money that day and it was the wrong date.

“Yet, some of the people told me that Monday was the day for their pay-out.”

Some of the elderly told Adams that they had come by taxis and trains, some from the farms and a couple of them were concerned on how they will get back.

“They were reliant on this money to also

take them home.”

At 10:00 some of the people were still standing around, hoping that someone will come with their money.

“In my opinion any change of dates must by clearly communicated to the people to avoid days like this,” Adams said.

According to Shivani Wahab, spokesperson for Sassa, the dates are set by a joint decision by Sassa and Cash Paymaster Services (CPS), but confusion was caused after a misprint.

“Notification of the next pay-out dates are printed on clients’ pay slips. CPS had misprinted pay dates and this resulted in confusion amongst social grant recipients.”

There is also some confusion regarding the re-registration for social grants for the coming year.

According to Wahab, Sassa Western Cape is currently running print media adverts covering the re-registration process in all community-based Media24 newspapers.

“We have also secured radio slots to take the message further.”

Washing your hands with soap helps fight illnesses.

Rethink your hygiene It is a well-researched and well-known fact that respiratory infections and diarrhoea are major causes of death among children under the age of five.

Each year, more than 3,5 million children in the world don’t live to celebrate their fifth birthday because of diarrhoea and pneumonia.

Hands are the principal carriers of diseasecausing germs but, if widely practised, hand washing with soap could avert one million of those deaths.

Over one million lives can be saved each year by breaking the chain of infection and this can be done by simply washing your hands with soap.

It’s important to keep good hygiene practices in mind while you’re preparing food and entertaining family and friends.

Claire Hooper, Unilever skin cleansing marketing director in South Africa, says rethinking your hygiene routine is the right way to start. “Most people around the globe practise some form of daily washing their hands, which serves two purposes, namely getting hands clean by removing smells, visible dirt or the feel of dirtiness; and making hands safe and hygienic by removing microscopic pathogens that can cause illness.

“However, what worked years ago may not be good enough for you and your family now.

In this hectic ever-changing world of ours, there is one thing you can be certain of: nothing stays the same. Life doesn’t stand still and nor do the germs that inhabit our world. They are as fast-moving and unpredictable as the rest of our lives, and the way they are evolving causes some concern.”

It seems as we get stronger, fitter and smarter, so do bugs.

They’re evolving in two ways: building resistance to drugs, treatment and the environment (according to the Food and Drug Administration, the human influenza virus can survive on surfaces for 2-8 hours, and in 10 years that could rise to 10 hours or more) and transmitting from animals to humans (we all remember the swine flu and bird flu outbreaks).

Look at your own health to see how germs are evolving. Colds that used to last two or three days now drag on for weeks and what used to be a minor tummy upset, often becomes a case of serious gastroenteritis. New germs are evolving and they’re getting tougher to fight.

Washing your hands with soap is an effective intervention and washing with soap at critical times (before handling food and after using the toilet) remains low, ranging from zero to 34 per cent.

Using soap is important as soap is effective at cleansing and removing germs. Soap helps to dislodge and loosen dirt and germs on the hands, so that it is rinsed away.

This helps to prevent flu, acute respiratory infection, diarrhoea, enteric fever, sore throat, body odour, heat rash, spots, dysentery and ear infection.

Personal hygiene goes a long way in preventing illnesses. With various germs surviving on your hands for anywhere between 90 minutes and three hours, it’s important to wash hands regularly. This includes before eating and preparing food, after using the toilet and after sneezing, blowing your nose and coughing.

Students can still enter for SciMathUS programme Prospective students who need to improve their scores in mathematics and physical sciences still have an opportunity to enter the Stellenbosch University’s (SU) successful SciMathUS programme.

The SciMathUS programme offers talented and motivated students, who are educationally disadvantaged and who did not qualify to be admitted to university programmes, a second chance to do so.

Students may apply for SciMathUS if they have passed Grade 12 with a minimum of 50% in Afrikaans or English, a minimum of 30% in mathematics and physical sciences, or 80% in mathematical literacy and also 50% in any four of the subjects designated for university admission.

The students in mathematics and physical sciences rewrite the Grade 12 examination in these two subjects at the end of the year.

The biggest increases in the 2012 class results were 52 percentage points in physical sciences and 34 percentage points in mathematics. The highest score in mathematics was 90%, with 88% in physical sciences.

The accounting students write an accounting examination set by the SU’s faculty of economic and management sciences.

They also have to pass an introductory course in economics and rewrite the Grade 12 examination in mathematics.

“None of these students qualified for higher education at the beginning of 2012. Now 75% of these students obtained results to qualify for higher education,” said Nokwanda Siyengo, SciMathUS programme manager.

The first two medical doctors out of the SciMathUS programme completed their second year of community service at the end of 2012.

Both these two women are now fully qualified doctors.

Sixteen former SciMathUS students are qualified engineers, while 27 obtained degrees in commerce-related fields. Four of them are busy with board exams to qualify as accountants.

The next SciMathUS programme will start on 6 February 2013. A registration fee of R5 000 per student is payable in 2013.

Financial support, however, is provided to qualifying students.

Accommodation is also available to a number of students.

Prospective students may apply for the programme up to 31 January.

Application forms can be downloaded from www.imstus.sun.ac.za/scimathus.html or call 021 808 2301 / 021 808 3032 for more information..

Bonsai Kai byeen Die eerste vergadering van die Boland Bonsai Kai word 26 Januarie om 09:00 in die US Botaniese Tuin gehou.

Die vergadering beloof om baie interessant te wees.

Mike Rich sal lede toespreek oor hoe om ’n vyeboom oor ’n klip te groei en wonde aan vyebome te genees.

Daarna sal Francois Voges oor die onderwerp “Die dilemma met die skep van ’n bonsai – kreatiwiteit versus konvensie” praat.

Hy gaan onder meer ook Masahiko Kimura se stelling dat ons ons eie kulturele erfenis en agtergrond moet gebruik om ons eie visie van bonsai te ontwikkel bespreek.

Beginners is welkom.

Hulle moet asseblief net ’n mooi klip, sterk tinfoelie, ’n ou lakenlap, bonsaigrond en ’n plastiekhouer waarmee saad gekweek kan word, met hulle saambring.

Bel Willem Pretorius by 083 260 5696 vir nadere besonderhede.

Gesprek­sessie oor koshuisplasings Die beplande buitengewone vergadering van die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) konvokasie op Dinsdag 22 Januarie gaan voort in die formaat van ’n openhartige gesprek-sessie oor koshuisplasings.

Lede van die konvokasie is per e-pos oor die verandering ingelig.

Die buitengewone vergadering is belê ingevolge ’n versoek deur 104 lede van die konvokasie om ’n mosie oor die voorgestelde koshuistoelatingsbeleid te bespreek, en is gedurende Desember 2012 geadverteer.

Die kennisgewing is egter nie – soos vereis deur die onlangs goedgekeurde statuut dat dit minstens vier weke voor die datum van die vergadering per e-pos aan lede van die konvokasie gestuur moet word en ook in die media verskyn – betyds per e-pos aan konvokasielede uitgestuur nie.

Die voorgenome vergadering oor die koshuisplasings sal dus om tegniese redes nie as ’n buitengewone vergadering kan plaasvind nie, aangesien die jongste dwingende statutêre vereiste nie nagekom is nie.

Die meerderheid van die konvokasie se uitvoerende komitee het egter op kort kennisgewing besluit dat die byeenkoms wel sal voortgaan, maar in die vorm van ’n gespreksgeleentheid.

Alle konvokasielede word uitgenooi om die geleentheid by te woon.

Prof. Arnold Schoonwinkel, US-viserektor vir leer en onderrig, sal steeds ’n aanbieding oor die genoemde konsep koshuisplasingbeleid en die US-bestuur se sienings rondom die aanwending van die US se behuisingsbates

maak.

Indien die konvokasielede wat die vergadering bywoon en/of die voorstellers van die mosie na die byeenkoms steeds met hul versoek vir ’n buitengewone vergadering wil voortgaan, sal so ’n vergadering binne die vereistes van die US-statuut herbelê word.

Die voorgestelde mosie sal ook by hierdie geleentheid bespreek word.

Die byeenkoms oor die koshuisplasings sal 19:00 in die Endlersaal in Victoriastraat plaasvind.

Sunset concert with Virtual Jazz Reality Bring your picnic and relax to the sound of jazz masters, Virtual Jazz Reality, at 17:30 on Sunday, 27 January at the Helderberg Nature Reserve.

Formed in 1993, Virtual Jazz Reality (VJR) comprises some of the most respected, versatile and experienced artists on the South African music scene. Collectively and/or individually, they have performed throughout Africa, the United Kingdom, America (New Orleans and New York), Far East, UAE (Dubai), Australia, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere in Europe.

The band’s jazz repertoire includes over 100 original compositions (some of which have reached the top of the jazz charts) and all the popular jazz standards.

The band has done numerous television and radio specials and has worked with artists such as Pavarotti, Jonathan Butler, Shirley Bassey, Liberace, Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Bono, Anastasia, Shakatak, Latoya Jackson, Judith Sephuma (a former member of VJR) and Jimmy Dludlu.

Comprising Ian Smith (trumpet, flugelhorn, and vocals), Andrew Ford (keyboards, drums and bass), Sammy Webber (bass and vocals) and Frank Paco (drums and vocals), VJR have impressive individual pedigrees as band leaders, studio musicians, music educators and performers.

Having played with numerous ensembles of his own creation including Concert Boulevard, Pound Seats, MJ-9, The Tony Schilder Quartet, Airborne and Inside Out, Ian Smith is one of the most sought after studio musicians. His prowess as a trumpet player has also earned him a place as a soloist for the UCT Big Band and for the CAPAB and CTSO orchestras. He was also one of the influential figures, along with Prof Mike Campbell, in the formation of the Cape Jazz Orchestra.

Despite having performed extensively with his own trios and groups (Inside Out), as well as being a regular with the CAPAB, CTSO and Cape Jazz Orchestra, his talents as a producer are extensive. His appointment as musical director for B&S Studios while at the same time running his own successful recording studio, the “Nuthouse”, bears tribute to this fact.

Sammy Webber has been playing bass from the age of 17 and started playing in his first band at the age of only 19.

Since then he has played with the successful duo U-Turn with Tony Paulse and is also the bass player for Inside Out and MJ-9. He is increasingly in demand as a session musician and is considered a vital contributor by the members of VJR. Self-taught musician, Frank Paco, started

playing drums at the age of 16 whilst living in Mozambique. He has performed with Zairianborn French singing sensation Papa Wemba, South African renowned vocalist Miriam Makeba and has toured with Afrojazz band Sakhile. More recently he featured on the FNB and Gold album by Jimmy Dludlu, Echoes From The Past.

The proceeds of the concerts are used to support conservation and environmental education projects at the Reserve.

The tickets for the Summer Sunset Concerts cost R40 per adult and R10 for scholars and the price includes entrance to the Reserve. There is no admission fee for children under the age of five. Tickets are available at the Nature Reserve Information Centre or on concert days at the gate.

Longridge wine estate, located just of the R44 outside Stellenbosch, recently had the opportunity to serve their wines exclusively to some of the country’s top sports personalities during the recent ten year anniversary celebration of the Laureus Foundation South Africa.

Walk for cancer during Wine Festival

Entries open for the 27 for Freedom event

The first Pick n Pay Women’s Walk for 2013 will take place in Stellenbosch during the Stellenbosch Wine Festival presented

by Pick n Pay. The 5 km walk takes place on 26 January, so make sure you book your place to enjoy a morning out with family and friends to raise funds for the PinkDrive.

The Pick n Pay Women’s Walk – which has been held at venues around the country with thousands of walkers taking part – serves to raise funds to support free cancer screening and health advice in local communities.

“The PinkDrive mammography truck is an important part of our corporate social responsibility programme; it enables women in remote and disadvantaged areas to receive mammograms, an important weapon in breast cancer detection,” said Bronwen Rohland, director of marketing and sustainability.

The PinkDrive Educational Truck will also be present on the day to provide free cancer screening and health-related information.

It costs R35 for adults and R20 for children younger than 18 to join the walk. You can enter at Pick n Pay Stellenbosch, Pick n Pay Waterstone, Pick n Pay Stellenbosch Ex- The PinkDrive press Store, and Pick n Pay Stellenbosch Square Family Store. You can also enter online at www.picknpay.co.za.

Walkers can collect their event packs, filled with goodies on 24 and 25 January at Pick n Pay Stellenbosch between 10:00 and 18:00. The walk starts at 07:30 on rugby field C, Danie Craven Stadium, Coetzenburg Sports Centre.

The early start to the race will allow participants to partake in the festivities of the Stellen-

educational truck

Fast becoming one of South Africa’s best loved community initiatives, PinkDrive currently runs two “Pink” mobile breast check units.

The educational unit travels to semi-urban areas with the aim of enabling various disadvantaged communities to have access to clinical breast examinations and breast health educa-

tion performed and advised by professional nurses.

PinkDrive services 80 community health clinics on a rotation basis. The mobile mammography unit operates at local Community Health Clinics in the Western Cape where free mammograms are offered.

VISAGIE

Pniel Villagers gearing up for 2013 The Pniel Villagers rugby club is currently in a restructuring process to put aside the disappointments of the 2012 season after being demoted from the Super league to the Premier league.

“Something must have been done right in the past and maybe it’s now time to assess and get back to the basics and reposition all stake holders to regain our position and get back in the Super League again,” said new chairman Winston Stubbs.

“A difficult task lies ahead, but with the support of the players, administrators, sponsors, supporters and the broader community, get-

ting back in the Super League is possible.”

The club have just elected a new executive – young and vibrant individuals who have accepted the challenge to not only to add value, but to serve and secure the future existence of the club.

“The ultimate challenge is to create an environment which would enhance competitiveness, success, discipline and loyalty amongst players, administrators and spectators alike,” said Stubbs.

“It will be very important to look at the functionality of our different structures before we decide on a strategic plan for the 2013 season.

Transparency, effective communication and

planning are but a few aspects on which the plans for the 2013 season will be built on.

“The first club meeting already took place and players could clearly experience the excitement and willingness amongst executive members who have committed themselves to add value.”

Practices have already started and all players are motivated to attend the players assessment sessions which would be conducted though the months of January as well as February. Current and new players are invited to attend these sessions which will be held on the rugby field. Normal practice continues on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
