Kinderbeskermingsweek skop af ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN Met die afskop van Kinderbeskermingsweek, wat in die Wes-Kaap tot ’n maand verleng word, het die polisie ook hulp van die publiek ontvang. FC Smit van Thorburn Security het ’n skenking van 34 poppies aan die Stellenbosch SAPD se eenheid vir gesinsgeweld, kindermishandeling en seksuele misdrywe (GKS) gemaak. Die poppies het verskillende eienskappe en doelwitte, het kapt. Maria Goosen, die forensiese maatskaplike werker verduidelik. “Van die poppe is anatomies korrek, terwyl die ander slegs speelpoppe is. Ons benodig albei om ’n korrekte assessering van die kinders te doen.”
Die kinders sal van die gewone poppies gegee word om mee te speel en dan in hul taal probeer verduidelik wat plaasgevind het. “Ons kan nooit enige van die privaat-areas noem nie. Indien ’n kind wel iets noem, sal ons dan die anatomies-korrekte poppe uithaal sodat hulle kan verduidelik wat gebeur het.” Daar is ’n ouma en oupa, ma en pa en ’n dogtertjie en seuntjie, met ’n volle uitrusting en toegerus met geslagsdele. Die kind kan dan die poppies uittrek om ’n moeilike situasie uit te beeld. “ ’n Kind wat moontlik nie toegerus is met die kennis of taal om te verduidelik wat gebeur het nie, kan dit dan aandui. Ons verslag aan die hof sal dan hul eie verduideliking sowel as die aksies bevat.” Volgens Goosen is hierdie
skenking van groot waarde vir hul taak. “As ons die regte hulpmiddels het, is die hofsaak op die ou end soveel sterker.” Ná afloop van haar verduideliking van die praktiese toepassing van die poppe het brig. Joseph Makhura, van die provinsiale polisiekantoor, ook sy dank aan Thorburn uitgespreek. “Ek het in my jare in die polisie baie misdaadtonele bygewoon, maar het nooit die slagoffers van seksuele misdrywe se stories gehoor nie. Vandag was vir my ook ’n les. “Ek sal graag meer betrokke wil wees by sulke sake. Die van ons wat moreel is, moet saamstaan om weerlose kinders te beskerm teen diegene sonder morele waardes.” Kinderbeskermingsweek vind plaas van 27 Mei tot 3 Junie.
Empowering your children to be security conscious Every day there are stories in the media and circulating on e-mail about children affected by crime and abuse. In light of Child Protection Week – between 26 May and 3 June – South Africans are encouraged to teach youngsters about security. “Crime is a reality for South Africans and our children are being affected. They need to know what to do in an emergency and how to protect themselves,” says Rob Dale, managing director of ADT Security Western Cape. Dale has the following valuable safety tips for parents to share with their children: ) Make sure your children memorise their full names, address and phone number. ) Using a play phone, teach them when and how to dial 10111.
A bus tour on the Garden Route The Stellenbosch Anglican Chaplaincy Trust will host a charity tour by luxury bus to Knysna and Plettenberg Bay from 10-13 October. Tickets cost R1 675 per person sharing and include transport, ultra luxury accommodation on the Knysna Waterfront and one main meal per day. A deposit of R375 by mid-June will secure a reservation (limited seats). Phone Lionel Cloete (082 850 7845) or Bereneace Katts (074 580 8227).
) Always leave a phone number where you can be reached along with numbers for neighbours and emergency services right next to the phone. ) Make sure your children know it is important to speak clearly and tell the emergency services exactly what is happening. ) Let your children practice operating door and window locks. ) Explain how important it is not to let anyone into the house without your permission. ) Teach them to not reveal on the phone or at the door that no adults are home but to rather say their parents are too busy to come to the phone or door. ) Teach your children basic first aid such as putting pressure on a bleeding wound and what to do with minor burns.

Railway safety campaign launched A national railway safety campaign was launched on Monday 27 May by transport deputy minister Sindisiwe Lydia Chikunga at a railway level-crossing at the Koelenhof station in the Stellenbosch District. A total of 412 people died in accidents where trains were involved during the period 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012. The majority of these were members of the public being struck by trains at levelcrossings. The level-crossing at the Koelenhof station was chosen for the launch of the new campaign as it reported the highest number of level-crossing incidents in the Western Cape. “Railway safety perceptions, attitudes and behaviour need to be influenced for positive change to occur,” said Chikunga. “The public need to be made aware of their roles and responsibilities in ensuring safe rail operations at level-crossings and held accountable for unsafe behaviour and actions.” The campaign comprises two slogans: “Always expect a train”, and “Where there is a track, there is a train”. These will be used for the roll-out of a broad public outreach and educational activities to foster safe behaviour and safe communities. The messages emphasise that a train could be using the railroad tracks at any time and that both pedestrians and drivers should always approach them with caution. The RSR would like to urge drivers and pedestrians to follow all laws regarding lev-
el-crossings and railroad safety, as not adhering to these could lead to severe injuries or a devastating loss of life. Motorists are responsible for stopping at stop signs and looking for trains, and for stopping where there are barrier arms and flashing lights operating. Drivers must also look out for trains at level-crossings where there are give way or stop signs, and never cross the track when a train is approaching. Pedestrians are responsible for only crossing the railway at a designated pedestrian crossing. They must stop, look and listen for trains, especially when bells or lights are operating. Pedestrians must never cross the tracks when a train is approaching. The public must take note that trains have right of way 100% of the time – over ambulances, fire engines, cars, the police and pedestrians. Furthermore, it is important to note that trains take a long time to stop – even when the train driver slams on the brakes, a loaded train can take more than a kilometre and a half (1,5 km) to come to a standstill. Using ear phones, playing loud music and having screaming children in the car make crossing the railway line more dangerous. Trains, especially passenger trains, are very quiet and when people have distractions such as music in their ears, or someone speaking to them on a cell phone, the risk of being hit by a train increases. Incidents that may negatively affect railway safety can be reported on 082 907 1407.

Two shopkeepers escaped unscathed after a spaza shop was robbed in Luyolo Street, Kayamandi. According to Lt Nathalie Martin the robbery took place on Wednesday 15 May at 21:30. “The two men were busy in the shop when two unknown men ran into the shop, both carrying firearms. When the shopkeepers saw the men, one of them started to run away. The
robbers fired a shot into the ground, luckily not injuring anyone, and pointed the gun straight at him,” said Martin. The two men robbed the shop of airtime as well as the two victims’ cellphones, and then ran off between the houses in the informal settlement. No arrests have yet been made, but anyone with information can call WO Nicky Steyn at the Stellenbosch detective branch on 021 809 9140.

Access to municipal buildings restricted due to theft
The Stellenbosch Municipality has recently been forced to restrict access to its offices due to theft in the building over the last few weeks. The decision to restrict access to municipal buildings came after two laptops were stolen from the office of the municipal manager, Christa Liebenberg. According to the municipal spokesperson, Vernon Bowers, both laptops were ironically secured with laptop desk locks. With the exception of the munici-
pality’s cash offices and general enquiries offices, where the public normally pay their accounts and make enquiries about their accounts or planning-related matters, visitors/ public will not be allowed access on their own unless the relevant staff member, senior management, political office bearer or a representative from the department, political office bearer or the mayor’s parlour personally meets the visitor/member of public at the reception desk and accompany them.
Liebenberg also asked staff members to be vigilant of any suspicious persons or activities in their office area. “Vigilance and awareness are key to preventing yourself from becoming a theft victim. Theft from offices are common, not only at the municipality but most places of business”, she said. Members of the public can still engage with the municipality, its officials or the councillors, Bowers said. Appointments or a call ahead of your visit is, however, now necessary.
About 505 houses in the project have already been delivered to the Kayamandi community. One of the beneficiaries, the 89year-old Lena Maasdorp, was identified nearly two years ago by Premier Helen Zille as someone deserving government assistance. She is disabled and, recently, more hardship followed when her house and all her belongings were destroyed in the March fire disaster in Zone 0. Through the assistance of donors the Stellenbosch Municipality provided her with a partly furnished house. The list of beneficiaries aims at assisting, among others, those of 60 years and older, disabled persons and those from the project’s beneficiary list who could not be helped in the previous phase. Thus far R22 million has been spent on the project, including the R8 million spent in this phase. About 150 job opportunities were created. The 106 tiled roof, semi-detached, single-storey units are 40m², featuring two bedrooms, an open-plan lounge-kitchen area and a full bathroom with a bath and basin. The project site is located on the western

side of Kayamandi and provides views of the surrounding mountains and farms. Power Construction was the contractor for the project. At the official handing over of the houses on Friday, the Western Cape minister for Human Settlements, Bonginkosi Madikizela, delivered the keynote address. The ceremony was, however, disrupted by a group of angry residents from Zone O. They are still upset by the recent Foodbank scandal where it is alleged the ward councillor in the area kept Foodbank SA donations, which were meant for the victims of the devastating fire in Zone O in March, for herself. The residents want the councillor in question to be removed. Minister Madikizela had to calm the group down, after which he invited them into the tent and asked one of the residents to explain to him why they are so upset. He promised the group that he would deal with the issues they brought up. After the official speeches each of the 106 beneficiaries received the keys to their brand new home. Like Lena, most of them have never lived in a house before. According to Fesiwe Ngquba, the project manager at the Stellenbosch Municipality, a further 180 sites should be completed by December 2013.

Big names at this year’s Aids Awareness concert
The Africa Institute for HIV and AIDS Management at the Stellenbosch University (SU) is hosting its annual South African Artists for Aids Awareness concert 2013 on Sunday 9 June.
Vocalist Lana Crowster
The title of this year’s production is Let’s Beat It and will start at 19:00 in the Artscape Theatre. Ushering in the significant June 16 Youth Day commemoration, this concert will celebrate and honour South African youth for the tremendous contribution and impact they are making in the country. It will also acknowledge unsung individuals who are doing exceptional work in the HIV and AIDS field and other areas of humanity. Singer, actor and performer Jimmie Earl Perry directs this concert and will be joined by the Mike Campbell Rhythm Orchestra, Wolfgang Riebe as master of ceremonies, vocalists Amy Campbell, Wendy Alexander, Spha Mdlalose, Manuel Losper, Luciano Swarts, Lana Crowster, dancers from the Waterfront Theatre Company and other artists. Michael Jackson’s hit Beat It is used as a metaphor in this concert to “beat” HIV. According to Perry the words of the song resonated so pro-
foundly with him, because it’s about a young man who is living dangerously and told to “beat it” (go away) if he wished to stay alive. He explains that through the arts, the aim of these concerts are to continue making people aware of their individual responsibility to help turn around the HIV and AIDS epidemic as well as crime, violence and substance abuse among people in South Africa and around the world. Musical direction and arrangements are by Campbell who has led and worked with groups in Europe, the USA and throughout South Africa. Wolfgang Riebe is a well-known motivational speaker, acknowledged for his original and unique approach as a comic magician and Jean-Pierre Steyn is the vocal rehearsal accompanist. Let’s Beat It has an exciting, powerful programme that includes dance, theatre, jazz and adult contemporary music. It will inspire and educate and is suitable for the entire family.

Spotlight on child bullying Altogether fifty-seven percent of school children in South Africa claim to have been bullied at school, according to a recent survey conducted by Pondering Panda of 3 079 teenagers and family members between the ages of 13 and 21. This high number is a concern, especially in the light of Child Protection Week which will be held between Monday 27 May and Sunday 2 June. If a child claims to have been bullied at school, it should be taken seriously. It can make a child depressed and fearful. Bullying is one-sided and aimed at hurting or belittling someone. Pondering Panda conducted the survey over a three-day period in Jan-
uary this year through the social network, Mxit. The survey reveals that 57% felt they had been bullied at school. Fiftytwo percent of the abuse was verbal, 26% physical abuse and 16% cyber abuse. “These statistics reveal a culture of bullying that permeates South African schools. Two out of three learners are worried about being bullied at school,” said Shirley Wakefield of Pondering Panda. If parents suspect their child is being bullied, they should speak to their child about the situation. Parents can enquire about anti-bullying policies at their children’s schools. Childline South Africa recom-
mends that parents do the following: ) Encourage your child to tell someone. ) Ask the bully to stop. They may not be aware that their behaviour is hurting your child. ) If the bullying doesn’t come to an end, the victim should avoid being alone with the bully by being in a group or around other people. Bullies often have been bullied or abused themselves and try to deal with their own situation to regain their power by taking it out on someone else. Childline South Africa advises that bullies need to understand the consequences of their actions and practice self-discipline and empathy for others.

Een sokkerklub vir Idasvallei
Die vier sokkerklubs in Idasvallei is tans besig om na die moontlikheid te kyk 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 funksioneer om beter blootstelling vir plaaslike spelers te verskaf. Een van die grootste uitdagings vir die vier klubs, is die situasie waarin
junior sokker homself bevind. Feitlik elke klub het nie genoeg spelers om in elke ouderdomsgroep te kompeteer nie en eenwording behoort hierdie probleem uit te skakel. Die huidige voorstel is dat elke klub nog steeds in sy onderskeie liga speel, maar dit onder die vaandel van die gesamentlike klub doen. Samesprekings is nog in begin-stadium 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.19-span wat die betrokke gemeenskap sal verteenwoordig. Hiermee word alle spelers wat in
1994, 1995 en 1996 gebore is, uitgenooi om aan proefwedstryde deel te neem op Maandag 17 Junie op die Idasvallei-sportgrond vanaf 10:00. Enige speler/persoon is welkom om deel te neem en hoef nie betrokke of aktief te wees by enige klub nie. Bring asseblief jou klub-registrasiekaart of jou Identiteitsboekie saam. Almal in die gemeenskap word uitgenooi om hul menings en voorstelle voor te lê by die volgende vergadering op Donderdag 6 Junie om 19:30 by die Idasvallei-krieketklubhuis. Vir verdere inligting, kontak Oswin Groenewald by oswing@tenacityinc.co.za of 083 254 8913.

Matie engineers to have lectures in English and Afrikaans
Kayamandi High School’s Bophelo Nchaka (16), Luvuyo Hlwempu (16) and Abongile Rameti (16).
Junior Innovators Take On HIP2B Innovation Challenge Grade 10 pupils from disadvantaged Western Cape communities will compete for the coveted title of South Africa’s Top Young Innovators against pupils from the KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Gauteng and Limpopo in the 2013 HIP2B² 3M Innovation Challenge. In the Western Cape, the Challenge kicked off at Spine Road High School, Mitchells Plain, Cape Town recently. Backed by the Department of Education and lauded by Derek Hanekom, the minister of Science and Technology, the challenge is the brainchild of 3M and HIP2B², and is designed to inspire innovation in everyday life. The success of last year’s challenge
attracted the attention of the Innovation Skills Development Unit (ISD) of the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), which is an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology. The TIA works to foster innovation skills within the innovation value chain from high school pupils to higher education institutions and research institutions. The HIP2B² 3M Innovation Challenge starts with an awareness and skills development campaign in urban townships and various rural areas in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Limpopo. Pupils at these events are then invited to enter, in teams of two, their
own innovation for a solution to a real problem that affects them, their family or their community, using science and maths applications. Two finalists per province will be eventually be selected by a judging panel of representatives from HIP2B², 3M and other industry experts with a science or technical background. Later in the year, the winning regional finalists from all five provinces will be exposed to an eye-opening week of career and personal development with industry specialists and mentors at 3M Headquarters in Johannesburg culminating with a presentation of their conceived innovations to a judging panel.
From 2014 undergraduate engineering students from Stellenbosch University (SU) will have the opportunity to listen to their lectures in English and Afrikaans by means of parallel sessions or simultaneous interpreting. The Faculty of Engineering took the lead at SU to make its faculty more accessible to students from different home language backgrounds. For a considerable time first and secondyear modules have been presented in English and Afrikaans in separate classes (parallel medium). However, where there are less than 250 students in a class for a module, the groups are not divided. This is where simultaneous interpreting comes in handy. When a module is offered in one class group, then simultaneous interpretation is offered. In other words, when the lecturer speaks Afrikaans, the lecture is interpreted into English, and when the lecturer speaks English, the lecture is interpreted into Afrikaans. Each student can personally choose whether or not to use the interpretation. A pilot project was launched in 2011 with a few modules being interpreted. The number of modules was systematically increased every year. The project has progressed well and it is envisaged that from 2014 all undergraduate modules at the Faculty of Engineering will be presented in English and Afrikaans by means of parallel sessions or interpreting. All test, examination papers and assignments are given in both English and Afrikaans, and students may answer any question paper or assignment in English or Afrikaans.
Interpreters use a head or hand microphone to interpret simultaneously while the lecturer is speaking. The student then uses headphones to listen to the sound that is conducted to a transmitter. The majority of classes are interpreted from Afrikaans to English. At present approximately 100 lectures per week are interpreted, with up to eight different lectures being interpreted in the same time-slot. Although most engineering students indicate their home language as Afrikaans, or bilingual Afrikaans and English, it is sometimes found that some English class groups are larger than the Afrikaans ones. “Interpreters undergo a strict selection process and intensive training. They must have specific traits: they must be able to focus, communicate well and be able to think on their feet under pressure,” explains Ms Juanli Theron, project coordinator of Interpreting Services at Stellenbosch University’s Language Centre. Although the interpreters are not engineers, they build up an excellent vocabulary very quickly, thanks to the numerous aids they have at their disposal. They come to a lecture fully prepared after consulting text books, slides, manuals, and memoranda supplied by lecturers. They also compile their own word lists. One of the engineering students who makes use of the interpretation, Nelson Akoku ebot eno Akpa, says: “For me, the interpretation service has bridged the language barrier significantly. It is one of the faculty’s best gifts as far as I am concerned and the interpreters are amazing!”
