Training as chef’s assistant available through Stellemploy Stellemploy, the church-based organisation which was established sixteen years ago in an attempt to provide unemployed people with training opportunities, is offering training once again.

This time the training is for chef’s assistant.

Stellemploy will train twelve currently unemployed people in methods of cooking, knife skills and an introduction to baking skills, kitchen hygiene and basic nutrition.

The course will run from 17 February to 11 April.

Stellemploy facilitates this training opportunity for young people from developing communities.

This opportunity is only available to unemployed people with consumer or hospitality studies on at least Grade 10 level, or experience in the hospitality industry.

Only twelve people can be accommodated per course. It is therefore important to register early.

The course is only available to people between 18 and 35 years of age in the greater Stellenbosch area.

Stellemploy facilitates this with donor funding received from Distell and Remgro.

For more information, contact Gaino or Betta from Stellemploy at 021 886 6993.

KLEURVOL: Die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se Standard Bank Colour Together-kleurfees het Saterdag vir studente plaasgevind. Hier is eerstejaars van Metanoia en Huis Francie van Zijl oortrek van die poeierverf tydens dié kleurparade.

Interest rate is good news for savers The latest Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) announcement by Governor Gill Marcus saw the repo rate increase from 5% to 5,5%.

Rates have remained flat for just over 18 months and the last MPC announcement which saw an increase in the repo rate, was more than five and a half years ago.

This is quite a momentous occasion for those savers who waited in anticipation for a higher return on their cash investments.

“This increase, however, brings with it an increase in the cost of servicing debt, which means that many South Africans will have less disposable income than before,” said Lezanne Human, CEO of FNB Savings and Investments.

Don’t stop saving Although savers will be excited about the increased return on their cash investments, the higher cost of servicing debt may result in consumers cutting back on their savings.

“Unfortunately, saving for goals, such as your child’s school fees and your retirement, can’t be delayed.

“Consumers should adjust their budget accordingly (however painful that may be in the short term) to ensure that they continue to save for these life events that will inevitably happen.

“The good news is that, while making sacrifices by saving for these goals, consumers are simultaneously benefiting from higher returns on their cash investments.”

Andrea Ferreira, ’n eerstejaarstudent in die Heemstede-vrouekoshuis, baljaar op die waterwurm saam met Tracy Muller, Meshé Olivier en Shandré Timmey, almal graad 5-leerders in Bruckner de Villiers Primêr. Wilgenhof en Heemstede het saamgewerk om ’n pretdag by Wilgenhof te reël en naas die waterwurm kon die kinders ook sokker en tafeltennis speel.

Studente rol moue op vir gemeenskapswerk Donderdagoggend het duisende nuwe studente aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) aan die 2014 MAD² Gemeenskapsinteraksie deelgeneem.

Eerstejaarstudente in hul onderskeie koshuise en klusters het die geleentheid gekry om moue op te rol en kennis te maak met die verskillende gemeenskapsinteraksieprojekte waarby die US betrokke is.

Via die onderskeie MAD²-aktiwiteite word geld vir Matie Gemeenskapsdiens (MGD), die belangrikste begunstigde, ingesamel.

Koshuise en privaatwyke gebruik ook dié interaksie om hul jaarlikse gemeenskapsprojek aan hul inwoners bekend te stel.

Die nuutste een het bestaan uit sportaktiwiteite, verf en tuinmaak by skole in en om Stellenbosch.

Volgens Gareth Cornelissen,

Hoof van MGD, poog hulle om deur die Gemeenskapsinteraksie-oggend nuwelingstudente bloot te stel aan die werksaamhede van MGD. “Ons wil hulle aanmoedig om via hulle koshuise, PSO’s, studenteverenigings en fakulteitskomitees betrokke te raak by die projekte van die Eenstop-Studentevrywilligerprogram aangesien dit ’n waardevolle bydrae tot die buiteklaskamer-ervaring lewer.”

Hy voeg by dat daar meer as 50 geregistreerde studenteprojekte is wat ondersteuning bied op die gebied van onderwys, sport, lewensvaardighede, kuns en kultuur en gesondheid.

Skakel met Naweed Mullajie by 021 808 3638 of e-pos naweed@sun.ac.za vir meer inligting of kontak die MAD²-kantoor by 021 808 3632 of e-pos mad@sun.ac.za.

Conray Petersen en Ayabulela Qeqe, graad 6-leerders in Vlottenburg Primêr, het aan die boeresport deelgeneem by die pretdag wat deur die koshuise Eendrag en Sonop gereël is. Eendrag en Sonop het saamgewerk om ’n pretdag

by Eendrag te reël en naas die boeresport kon die kinders ook sokker speel en op ’n waterwurm baljaar.

Loads of BMX action

Some of the riders show their skills on the race course.

The first Songo.info BMX League of 2014 was held in Kayamandi on Saturday. The organisation Songo.info, which has its origins in Kayamandi, aims to improve the lives of children living in townships through sport in a safe environment. In the picture is everyone who participated in the races, as well as some spectators.

Fast5 netball ahead During the month of February the very exciting Fast5 netball tournament will be played in the DF Malan Centre.

Fast5 (originally called Fastnet) is a variation of netball featuring shortened games and goals worth multiple points.

It brings excitement with different scoring zones and a power play quarter where double points can be scored.

Some of the differences with regular netball matches include: Each quarter lasts only six minutes, compared with 15 minutes in normal international netball competitions; breaks in between quarters are two minutes each; similar to three-point field goals in basketball and two-point goals in six-a-side indoor netball, the goal shooter (GS) and goal attack (GA) may shoot goals from outside the shooting circle; these goals count for two points if scored from inside the outer zone and three points if scored in the super shot zone; in a power-play quarter, these goals would count for four and six points respec-

Stellenbosch-sokker Die Stellenbosse plaaslike sokkervereniging (LFA) hou sy algemene jaarvergadering op Saterdag 1 Maart by die Ou Lückhoffskool Stellenbosch.

Die tyd is 11:00 tot 12:00.

Alle geaffilieerde klubs moet hierdie vergadering bywoon. Vir meer inligting, kontak die sekretaris, A. Bailey, by 083 635 2162 of die voorsitter, J. Jacobs, by 074 185 5501.

tively.

The tournament days are on Wednesdays 5, 12, 19 and 26 February.

A team consists of up to 10 players.

Substitutions can be made at intervals or during play. There is no limit to the number of substitutions that can be made.

Play will not be held for a substitution to be made though. The idea is to keep playing going fast! There are five playing positions in each team whose playing areas will be the same as in netball – goal shooter (GS), goal attack (GA), centre (C), goal defense (GD) and goal keeper (GK).

Women’s teams consist of five players on the court, while mixed teams must be three women and two men on court. Cost is R150 per game (R25 for team of seven players or R20 for ten players).

The venue will have music, showers, and refreshments available.

For more information or to enter a team contact Freda Kemp at 082 523 0785 or matiesfast5@sun.ac.za.
