Physically Disabled Raise Their Voices
On Saturday, a handful community disabled locals together with social worker Brooke Tucker and support staff accompany by ward 50 councillor Angus McKenzie march through the streets of Bonteheuwel to highlight their plight with regards to employment exclusion and inaccessible transport.

And the authorities tell us there are no RESOURCES??? The Bonteheuwel community is doing what it MUST. We are not sitting idly waiting on authorities. BUT WE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH WITH THE RESOURCES AT HAND!!!!!!! The children of Bonteheuwel and the broader Cape Flats are saying “enough is enough”. Your child is mine and mines yours.

Are You Your Own Worst Enemy Sometimes? Do you have habits that prevent you from making the most of your life? Many people have difficulty trying to figure out why they are not more successful than they are, or why their lives remain the same, year in and year out. Even worse, some people’s lives seem to be in reverse as each year passes. People fail because they don’t know what they want to succeed in and are setting goals that cause them to fail. There’s no future without planning and for the dreamless. If you want to become highly effective you must push the limits, change boring habits, boring conversations and separate yourself from dreamless, aimless, boring and visionless friends. Your friends will
stretch your vision or choke your dreams. Your past is God’s future and your destiny is already established by God, but your future is not guaranteed unless and until you have a plan and a road map how to get from here to there. We are not designed to live quickly. God wants you to live long enough in his will and for his purpose so that you can make it to your future. Do not allow yourself the ‘pleasure’ of entertaining laziness, mediocrity and your weaknesses. You can’t stay the way you are, and miss out on the opportunity of becoming successful. This world belongs to people who are passionate, responsible, accountable, goal driven and are optimistic in the face of negativity and

EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO FREEDOM (An Ode to the Youth of Bonteheuwel) By Lee Siebritz When I think of current day society compared to Yesteryear, then it truly saddens me. We all struggled, hoped, prayed and worked hard to get where we are today But that was yesterday And When I think of what I see is happening today Then I wonder what went wrong with the children of Yesterday. HOW did you lose the plot ? How could you lose the plot? When you have so much inside of you, all deep in your heart. My vision for Bonteheuwel is that of a hope of Yesteryear. When we could play in the streets... When we could visit our neighbours When we could hang out and enjoy the freedom that life has to give instead of living in fear of bullets flying past our ears. Bonteheuwel is a beautiful placed, filled with beautiful, colorful people. Intelligent people. People who can work with their hands. Think with their brains. A musical people who loves to sing and dance Who loves to play darts Do Arts and crafts A people who loves life’s beautiful art. Come on Youth!!! Leave the drugs. Leave the guns Forget about territory GO out and educate yourself. Let’s rebuild the image that has fallen from Bonteheuwel Empower yourself with books and knowledge. You can travel the world You can meet different people Broaden your horizons Break down the “mind formed manacles” Break down the chains blocking your brains It’s never to late to learn. It’s never to late to sojourn. Take me up on the challenge Let’s change the balance scale To one of Education Empowerment Solidarity Freedom from current day oppression Freedom from unemployment Freedom from unfairness and inequality Come on Bonteheuwel youth!!! The world is in your hands! The world is in your hands! (From: Lee Siebritz - 23A Bluegum Street, Bonteheuwel & Teacher in Bonteheuwel/ 0738149428)

City sheds lights on Eskom load shedding Use electricity sparingly and brace yourselves for power cuts, says the City of Cape Town. This follows Eskom’s warning of load shedding to deal with a supply emergency sparked by industrial action by Eskom workers unhappy that the stated-owned power company plans to deny them a pay hike this year.
Preparing for power cuts: •
Charge your phone,
•
Fill your tank – petrol station pumps don’t work during outages,
•
Have some cash handy as ATM’s won’t work,
• Xanthea Limberg, Mayco member for informal settlements, water and waste services, and energy, said load shedding • would continue throughout the next week. “We are entirely dependent on Eskom informing us of what their generation capacity will be, so, unfortunately we are • at this point unable to provide residents with more detailed information on what to • expect.”
Switch electric garage doors and security gates to manual operation, Make sure you have torches, batteries, candles and matches, and put them where they can be found easily in the dark, Keep boiled water in a Thermos flask for hot drinks, Unplug all electronics and appliances that can be damaged by a volatile spike when the power comes on,

WHEN A LOVED ONE HAS A DRUG OR ALCOHOL PROBLEM 26 June- International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking Theme : Listen First - Listening to children and youth is the first step to help them grow healthy and safe. If you suspect that a friend or family member has a problem, here are a few things you can do: Speak up: Speak to the person about your concerns and offer your help and support. The earlier addiction is addressed, the better. Don’t wait for your loved one to hit the bottom! Be prepared for excuses and denial about the specific behaviour you have observed. Take care of yourself: Don’t get so caught up in someone else’s drug or alcohol problem that you neglect your own needs. Make sure you have people or a counsellor you can talk to and lean on for support. Stay safe! Don’t put yourself in dangerous situations. Don’t cover up for a substance abuse user: Don’t make excuses or try to hide the problem. It’s natural to want to help a loved one in need, but protecting them from the negative consequences of their choices may keep them from getting the help they need. Avoid self-blame: You can support a person with a substance abuse problem and encourage treatment, but you can’t force an addict to change. You can’t control your loved one’s decisions. Let the person accept responsibility for his or her actions. This is an essential step on the way to recovery. Ask for help: Speak to your family, friends or a treatment centre. Don’t try to do it alone. Support is essential. You will need reassurance, encouragement, comfort and guidance.

Clubs connect to raise seniors voices Wo r l d E l d e r Abuse Awareness Day, an annual United Nations (UN) observance day commemorated on June 15, was the motivation for seniors to gather at Build a Better Society (Babs) in Kewtown. The event, to highlight all kinds of abuses specifically at senior’s members, was a collaboration between AgeIn-Action, Babs and Dr Abduraghmaan Community Health Centre and was coordinated by Mishka Adam, Gary Abrahams and Faeeza Abrahams, who are fourth year social work students from University of the Western Cape
(UWC). “Seniors must be respected and their dignity must be protected. We want to empower the elderly to become a support structure for one another, said Age-In-action’s Elma Kloppers. Captain Ian Bennett from Manenberg SAPS reminded the seniors that the police cannot help them if they do not speak up. “We can tell what number to dial if you ever find yourself in need of it, but if you do not pick up that phone, we will not be able to help you. I encourage you today to stand up and change your situation,” said Captain Bennett. Ward 49 councillor Rashid Adams together with representatives from the Department of Social development and South African Social Security Services 9SASSA) were amongst those in attendance to assist and lend support the seniors with any of their concerns.

Inspiring our Youth: Mentorship Matters Dr Wentzel gee raad... a bursary from the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) through the Thuthuka Bursary Fund (TBF) after the camp.
Throughout history, mentors have been invaluable custodians and conduits of knowledge. Fictional mentors are usually portrayed as ‘wise old men’. Think of the Karate Kid’s Mr Miyagi; J.R.R Tolkien’s Gandalf or Star Wars’ Yoda. In reality, an age is not a prerequisite for the wisdom modernday mentors dispense. At 20 Frank Magoro is a young mentor. His background is strikingly similar to that of so many thousands of South Africa’s youth. Yet Frank’s life changed in 2014 when he attended a SAICA Development Camp during the September school holidays of his grade 11 year. Today, he is currently completing his third year Bachelor of Accounting Science studies at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) thanks to the fact that he was awarded
According to Frank, none of this would have been possible without the benefit of the mentoring he received at critical points in his life. Mentoring which came in the form of various opportunities, including those offered by SAICA. As one of its strategic nation building projects, SAICA supports South Africa’s youth by offering development camps to talented learners from previously disadvantaged communities. Frank says he was inspired to greatness at the camps he attended and is now excited to give back by volunteering as a camp leader/mentor himself at the second SAICA Gauteng Development Camp for 2018 which takes place in September. Frank sees this leadership role essentially as that of a mentor. His first-hand experience of the circumstances common too many of this year’s camp attendees give him unique insight, which he believes, will help him be a better mentor. The SAICA Development Camps were established to help overcome barriers to transformation within the accountancy profession. Over 2,000 learners from around the country have been invited to attend this year’s SAICA Development Camps. (Submitted by Richard Armstrong)

WCED Winter holiday programmes for learners and educators Over the course of the next few weeks, the WCED will once again offer holiday programmes during the winter school holidays which will include Safe Schools Holiday Programmes as well as Winter Schools for Grade 12’s. SAFE SCHOOLS PROGRAMME
H O L I D AY
The aim of the safe schools holiday programme includes providing constructive activities for children while also protecting schools by ensuring that they are visibly utilised during this period. The programmes are aimed at keeping our children positively engaged, entertained and safe, especially in areas where they are at a greater risk of exposure to substance abuse, drugs, violence and gangsterism. A special programme has been designed which addresses bullying, sexual abuse, gender inequality and gender based violence. Fun activities include team sports, hiking, kayaking, board games, arts and crafts as well as drama and dance classes. Prominent community activist Audrey Daniels with her team hosted their annual youth day event in Kalksteenfontein. One of those areas ravaged by gangster activity the day went off without incidents. The event was conducted in peaceful manner and proved most successful. Known for her animated deeds, an emotional Audrey was full of praise for the business people who contributed considerably to the day’s activities. Not forgetting many locals who donated generously. And last but no means least, the Rastas who willingly give of their time. Of course the entire day revolved around the young people of the area, and there involvement and participation to a large degree ensure the day was constructive and positive. The youth showed determination and resilience in the face of the area limitations to create a better and safer Kalksteenfontein. The presence of SAPS was most welcome and a ‘big shout’ out to those police officers
GRADE 12 WINTER HOLIDAY PROGRAMME
time for Grade 12’s as they prepare for their “mock matric” exams. Providing curriculum support to our Grade 12 learners is always a priority, particularly in schools where learners are struggling in specific subjects. During the upcoming holidays, the WCED has organised holiday study programmes at a number of our high schools. The “winter schools” aim to assist learners in high enrolment subjects. These subjects include Mathematics, Physical Science, Geography, Life Sciences, Accounting and Economics. SCHOOL SAFETY In order to protect schools, as far as possible, from burglary and vandalism over the holiday period, the WCED’s Safe Schools directorate has arranged increased security at some of our high risk identified schools. The department also ask every community member to help their schools by reporting any suspicious behaviour in and around our schools to the police immediately.

Winter darkness and lack of outdoor activity can also negatively affect one’s mood and in some cases cause seasonal affective disorder – a category of depression that emerges particularly during the winter season. Rooibos’ anti-spasmodic properties also helps to soothe the digestive tract and may also help to prevent and alleviate joint pain and arthritis, which tend to worsen during the cold winter months.
