Taaibos first year passes away

A first-year Taaibos student died on 26 February after contracting meningitis. Dominic Fugareu, who was studying BCom Accounting, was diagnosed with meningitis on 8 February and was immediately hospitalised. Fugareu passed away after just over two weeks in hospital. Condolences to his family and loved ones have been pouring in through various forms of media. Friends of Fugareu started a blog, ourfrienddom.wordpress.com, where anyone that knew him can visit the page and leave special thoughts and memories in his honour. On the blog he is described as a “genuine, caring friend” and as “bright, energetic [and] reliable”. On Tuesday afternoon,

the Taaibos residence tweeted their “heartfelt condolences to the Fugareu family”. Various other residences also tweeted their sympathies. The University of Pretoria extends its sincere condolences to the Fugareu family and staff are assisting in any manner possible to help during this difficult time. Fugareu will be laid to rest this Wednesday. Meningitis is generally a viral infection that you can recover from without treatment, but bacterial meningitis infections are very serious and may lead to brain damage or death, even if treated, according to the US National Library of Medicine. Eyewitness News reported last week Thursday that the Gauteng Health Department’s spokesperson, Simon Zwane, said that “the department’s disease outbreak team visited the residence and provided prophylactic treatment to other students who came into contact with him.” Zwane, in connection with UP, expressly urged students not to panic as the situation is under control and that it is an isolated case. Perdeby spoke to Basheer Vally, a pharmacist at Woolfson’s Pharmacy, about the symptoms of meningitis. He explained that because it is a serious communicable disease, the symptoms are very noticeable and one should immediately seek medical attention if the symptoms manifest. University of Pretoria media liaison officer Nicolize Mulder said that the university, in conjunction with the Department of Health, took immediate action and attempted to reach everyone who had come into contact with Fugareu before he was diagnosed to test them for the disease. Mulder added that, as a result of the quick reaction time of both departments, no other students have been diagnosed. Mulder explained that students who feel that they are possibly symptomatic are encouraged to approach the student health centre which has qualified doctors on hand who are equipped to help students with any medical or health-related queries. The university urges students not to panic as the situation is fully under control.

There are certain things in this world you just expect. You expect BA students to be the people lying on the grass near the HB. You expect first years to mess up the Fego line and you

expect campus to get quieter as the semester progresses. Well, everything we expect doesn’t always happen. I, for one, expected there to be streakers at Varsity Cup matches. I have been very disappointed. Every editor has a checklist of stories that they would love to cover. Burning buildings, angry strikers, disgraced celebrities – you name it. I would like to have a picture of a streaker. It is but one of my many dreams for this paper. Streaking is that beautiful phenomenon where people get so excited (ahem) that they take off their clothes and run naked through a public space. Sport matches have been some of the favourite targets for streakers. I have no idea what goes through a person’s mind before they decide to free themselves from societal conventions (like clothes) and run around in all their glory in front of strangers but, whatever it is, I’m not one to judge. In fact, I’m upset that there were streakers at last year’s Varsity Cup for our previous editor to write about, and that it now seems that streakers have decided to put on their gloves instead of throwing them down. Treat your attire like a gauntlet. Throw it at the feet of security and dare them to catch you. I know security is tight but I’m sure that with the right mix of courage and alcohol some brave soul will stand back and say “Challenge accepted.” Last week’s Varsity Cup attendance was better than the first home game. And they brought back the beer tent (yes, for those of you who missed it). Who knows? Maybe, with pavilions filled with students and students filled with beer, my wish might just come true at the

From the Editor next game. After Varsity Cup, things got a bit hectic at Perdeby. Our interviews were last week and I’m confident in the new people we have appointed. I hope you all are excited – and know what you’re getting yourselves into. My only word of advice to future applicants, and this goes for any profession really, would be to get acquainted with the business or job that you are applying for before going to the interview. Calling Perdeby “Die Perdeby” for example is a faux pas you don’t want to make. And at least read the paper to know what we do. What I did like seeing a lot of though, were people who clearly knew what journalism was about (duh) and people who brought a bit of spunk to their interviews. Telling us that you can recite South Park, for example, is a good move. Not only did I sit in on all the interviews this week, but my dear frenemy Murphy went out of his way to spend time with me. I’m drowning in all this work. How is your doggy paddle going? If you feel you need a break from it all, then you’ve come to the right place. Get lost in our interview with Tailor on page 7 and tweet about our social media article on page 9. For those spectators at Varsity Cup who had beer goggles on, our match report is on page 11. All I have to say about that is: Maties – blegh. Here’s to streakers Margeaux PS: Have you ever googled streakers? It’s quite entertaining. Especially when it’s late on a Thursday night and you realise you still have tons to do by Friday.

Final judging round for Miss Tuks Varsity Cup

STAFF REPORTER The top ten Miss Tuks Varsity Cup contestants went through an intense final judging round held at the TuksRugby clubhouse last Thursday. The contestants were judged in the following categories: • Personality • Tuks knowledge • Varsity Cup knowledge • Show and tell • Photograph

The contestants were each asked a series of personal questions as well as a series of questions about the university. They were also required to have an extensive knowledge about the Varsity Cup competition. Each contestant had to bring along a shoe which had a story or experience behind it to share with the judges, which was part of the show and tell category. The shoes ranged from slippers that had been worn to hike up a mountain to boots that were used to drink beer out of. The ladies then had to pose on the spot for a fun and spontaneous

photograph with the Tuks flag. The judges were looking for contestants with personality, flair and a love of sport, particularly rugby. The judges gave each contestant a score to determine the winner. The winner of Miss Tuks Varsity Cup will be announced at the Tuks rugby match on 4 March. She will go on to enter the national Miss Varsity Cup competition. Image: Eleanor Harding

Varsity Cup ticket prices lowered

STAFF REPORTER Ticket prices for Varsity Cup matches at Tuks Stadium have been lowered. Seated tickets

for the main pavilion will cost R30 and for the athletics pavilion R20. Previously, tickets for the pavilion cost R50. Grass tickets remain R10, but will be free for the

match against FNB Wits. At the start of the Varsity Cup season many students were angry that they had to pay to attend Tuks home games when they never

had to before. Neels Grobler, TuksRugby marketing manager, told Perdeby that money from ticket sales is used for marketing and stadium upkeep. According to TuksRugby’s executive manager Gert van Coller, another reason TuksRugby is charging for tickets is to control crowd capacity. Last year there were multiple incidents of students fighting at the matches and tickets have been introduced as a preventative measure. Varsity Cup managing director Duitser Bosman told Perdeby that he believes that TuksRugby has the right to sell tickets. “There is a substantial amount of expense in presenting a home game,” he said. Because UP-Tuks1 are the tournament’s defending champions, Bosman believes that they have “elevated” what they have to offer at home games and “can charge at least R10 a ticket”. Bosman confirmed that six of the eight universities participating in the Varsity Cup charge entrance fees. Only students at the University of Potchefstroom and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University do not have to pay to attend home matches. Charging entrance fees does not discourage students from attending games, Bosman said. “Maties [Stellenbosch University] have been charging a fee since the inception of this competition and they have had by far the most supporters per game over the last six years.”

Facebook comments: VC tickets Precious Shabangu: “I think that it is unfair and really not necessary and it will decrease the number of fans who go out to back our boytjies.” Chris Bosman: “Now the only time the stadium is going to be full [is] for the semi-final and the final, now let’s hope they make it through to that again!”

Rochelle van der Linde: “It’s silly. Students should be allowed to come and support Tuks without having to worry about budgeting for tickets.” Nicole Baron: “I never mind having to pay to watch our boys play, especially the days when we get some freebies handed out during the match.”

Dean Alberts: “It’s fine with me, I just [want to] watch Tuks play!”

Jacyn Wilmot: “The vibes at the first home game were so lame! There’s nothing better than joining everyone for a game on a Monday night! Now we can’t afford it.”

Wi-Fi coming to Hatfield campus

Intervarsity news AYANDA NDLOVU Durban University of Technology (DUT) DUT has again suspended lectures due to the intimidation and disruption of classes. University spokesperson Alan Khan told IOL News that, for the safety of the staff and students, a decision was taken to suspend the academic programme. The strike is due to the fact that employees are demanding a wage increase of 13% while the institution is only offering 6%.

SILIZIWE MABUYA Mamelodi was the first UP campus to get a wireless internet connection. The next phase of this initiative will be to install new Wi-Fi access points across the Hatfield campus and neighbouring campuses in Pretoria. Academic sponsor Prof. Brenda Wingfield believes that students need to “experience a high level of learning satisfaction by means of embracing Information and Communications Technology (ICT).” According to the ICT capability development manager Dr

@perdebynews

Wimpie Beeken, they are currently waiting for the consignment which will then give them the go-ahead. Dr Beeken is confident that the project will be completed by the end of October this year. The system is already being tested on main campus and all existing wireless devices are being replaced. The Agriculture building recently went live. Dr Beeken added, “Wireless is the future and UP understands how important this capacity is to ensuring our profile as one of the leading universities in Africa.”

North-West University (NWU) AfriForum Youth at NWU has reached a settlement with SASCO regarding the statements made by NWU SASCO leader Jason Mfusi regarding the Afrikaans farming community. AfriForum Youth officially laid a complaint at the South African Human Rights Commission after students took to social media to complain about Mfusi’s comment. He allegedly commented on his Facebook page that “A good farmer is a dead farmer.” Mfusi handed in a written apology and took note that his comments may have offended certain people. Stellenbosch University (SU) A study by SU scientists has found goat, donkey and water buffalo meat in various food products. “The study found that anything from soya, donkey, goat and water buffalo were to be found in up to 68% of the 139 minced meats, burger patties, deli meats, sausages and dried meats that were tested. In other cases, even undeclared plant matter was detected,” SU said in an article on their website. The tested products came from retail outlets and butcheries. According to the article, the study confirms that the mislabelling of processed meats is commonplace in South Africa. This violates food labelling regulations as well as poses economic, religious, ethical and health impacts. IOL News reported Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies saying last Thursday that meat products on sale in South Africa pose no threat to human health. The Department of Trade and Industry is working towards issuing a new notice which would require accurate labelling of all meat products. “South African consumers have a right to know what they consume and we are going to make sure that that information is provided,” Davies said.

Last week’s solution:

Pssst...

Pssst... has decided to be kind this week and is offering a few reses some much-needed advice. You’re welcome. Starting off, Pssst… advises Zinnia to look after their RAG partners. Pssst… has noticed the way the Kiaat boys seem to be more interested in the Inca girls than the Pixies. Pssst… doesn’t think Zinnia will have to come up with anything too drastic to catch Kiaat’s attention again because it’s not as if the Cubs need much to keep them happy. Pssst… is surprised that the Erika girls have finally stepped out of their boring bubble. That is if Pssst… considers raiding Olienhout’s mascot exciting. Which Pssst… doesn’t, really. Erika should take a few tips from the Houte. Pssst… hears the boys performed a charitable flash mob in Menlyn. The only thing Pssst… wants to know is why the boys were so far from their stomping ground. Maybe they knew they weren’t very good. Pssst… doesn’t want to have to mention their terrible dance moves again, so Pssst… hopes the Houte shape up in time for Serrie. While Pssst… is dishing out advice, Pssst… would like to suggest to Sonop that they improve their creative ideas. Does Sonop really need Pssst… to remind them that Movember is long gone? There really is no excuse for trying to grow a moustache at this time of year. Unless Sonop is trying to impress Curlitzia. Pssst… has noticed that facial hair seems to do it for the Curlitzia girls. Klaradyn has been keeping a low profile and Pssst… thinks the only explanation is that the Welpies have been spending a little too much time at Mopanie. Obviously the Mopanie boys don’t have to try too hard here. Pssst… understands that the Madelief first years find it really soul-destroying when people steal their jottirs, but Pssst… would like to make it clear that Pssst... does not support corporal punishment. Beating someone with your stick because they broke your hat is not classy, Knolle. Although Pssst… does love the drama. Keep the Pssst... tips coming. Email them to perdeby@up.ac.za.

LUSANDA FUTSHANE AND MAXINE TWADDLE Since the budget speech was announced last week, a whole host of life’s small pleasures have suddenly become a lot more expensive. But worry not, frugal friends, this week Perdeby brings you the top ten things you can still buy with R10. 1.

www.facebook.com/perdeby

A condom at Tiger Tiger. No, seriously. According to a (drunk) senior Perdeby source, you can get one measly condom for R10 at the popular local watering hole. You know, just in case you find yourself grinding up against someone worth that much. 2. Three loose cigarettes. Remember when a cigarette cost just R1 and you could look broody and cool without breaking the bank? Those were the days. Now, it’s a little harder to come by cancer. So: say maybe to drugs. 3. Two prostitutes on a few corners in Sunnyside. At your own risk, obviously. Such are the times when condoms cost more than prostitutes. 4. Parking your car around Hatfield without getting it keyed by a car guard. Our brothers in luminous vests also need to make a living, so swap that R5 coin for a mint green Randela if you like your car’s paint job the way it is. 5. A Varsity Cup ticket. But if there’s no beer tent channel your R10 towards … 6. A local beer at Senjor Frog’s. Because when you call your restaurant Senjor Frog’s, you have to almost give alcohol away for free. 7. A sewing kit at Wannabee. For all those “accidental” campus wardrobe malfunctions. 8. Coffee almost anywhere on campus. It’s not anything fancy but who are we kidding, caffeine is caffeine. 9. Chips from Oom Gert’s. A hangover isn’t a hangover without them. 10. Three Daily Sun newspapers to start a fire.

“As long as we’re writing, there will be Fetish.” MELINA MELETAKOS “Everything that ever involves Fetish always nearly falls apart,” says frontwoman Michelle Breeze, tilting her head back in nervous laughter. She’s talking about the band’s tour to promote Little Heart, their first album in ten years. But fall apart it didn’t, and as Fetish finish the Pretoria leg of their tour at Arcade Empire, a fan comes backstage to proclaim his adoration for the band. He wants a photograph with them and a signed CD, of course. “On the cover or on the disc?” asks guitarist Dominic Forrest. “Wherever. Just sign it. Please,” he says emphatically, as if the question is frivolous. He’s probably been waiting for this moment for years, much like everyone else who worshipped Fetish at their peak in the 90s and who genuinely mourned when the band crumbled in 2002. Before the internet democratised music, before Belville spawned artists like Fokofpolisiekar and before Jack Parow made kommin cool, there was another band with a cult-like following: Fetish. The band burst onto the local music scene at the same time that alternative rock erupted in South Africa. There was a music revolution in the pop-dominated market and Fetish was at the forefront of it. They offered something different, a sound that was dark, edgy and contemplative. Along with that came unmatched live performances with the gamine-like Breeze intoning the most undisguised lyrics. You would find yourself just standing at a Fetish gig and listening. Listening, and watching. No dancing. Breeze’s commanding presence wouldn’t allow it. The band’s success snowballed after the release of Fetish in 1997, So Many Prophets in 1999 and the Shade of A Ghost EP in the same year. They opened for bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Lenny Kravitz, Goo Goo Dolls, Skunk Anansie and The Cure. It seemed as if they were destined to go far or, at least, as far as a local band can go, and that was exactly the problem. Fed up with the tiny South African market that saw their music career plateau, Fetish decided to give the overseas one a go. Breeze and Forrest made London their home and, with band members scattered all around the world, that was the supposed end of Fetish. Now, years later, after getting an offer from Cape Town’s Digital Forest Studio to record again, Fetish have made a much anticipated comeback. “We hadn’t written together in about five years, but it took on a life of its own, really. There was nothing forced about it, which was nice,” says Forrest about the band’s

reunion. All the tracks for Little Heart were written in London in the two-month period before the band started recording in Cape Town. The recording process was also quick, with the entire album taking just two weeks to record. This brought about a more stripped-down, gritty, guitar-driven sound that still sounds like Fetish, just minus the electronic sound that underpinned their sound in the 90s. “It’s rawer than the earlier ones because it was done in such a compressed space. You also get a bit more of a live feel to it. I know everyone says that,” says Forrest looking at Michelle and laughing, “but it’s true.” That’s not the only thing that has evolved about Fetish’s music, though. Breeze’s songwriting has, inevitably, also taken a slightly different direction. “I think my perspective is more outwardlooking instead of that much inward-looking. There’s more of a consideration of the world that is going on around me,” she says. And this shows, especially in “Paper Skies”, a collaboration with Shadowclub frontman Jacques Moolman about the London riots that Breeze experienced in her adopted hometown. Johan Smith from Muse magazine once argued that Fetish were never able to reach their full songwriting and musical potential. He said that glimmers of their promise could be heard on 2006’s Remains, an album of unreleased songs and demos. Do Fetish think that they have lived up to their potential? “I think it’s a continuous thing,” says Forrest. “We always think we can write newer, better songs. Every song we write just evolves naturally.” Breeze adds, “We’ve already been talking about the new album and how we’re going to approach it and we want to express different things this time and probably take the music direction slightly differently. You want to keep changing things, otherwise it becomes boring.” Does that mean there’s a future for Fetish? “We definitely want to continue making music and I think the chemistry is really good for us as a band. That’s not really easy to find just anywhere,” says Breeze. “As long as we’re writing, there will be Fetish,” adds Forrest. Perhaps the best way to understand Fetish’s journey is by listening to “Merry Go Round”, the second single off Little Heart. “Merry go round / merry go round / everything changes / pity we got off so soon,” sings Breeze in the song’s chorus. Everything has changed, yes, but one thing that has undoubtedly remained the same is Fetish’s ability to create more than music. They create art and Little Heart is a perfect example of just that.

Tailor: no longer the dark horse MELINA MELETAKOS

In the middle of Cape Town’s train station, as hurried commuters were mindlessly heading for their destinations, Tailor burst out in song. People slowly started paying attention to the petite figure that was the source of such a commanding voice. Local indie record label Just Music noticed too. A few months later, Tailor landed herself a record deal and released her debut album The Dark Horse. Nominated in the Best Newcomer category at this year’s MK Awards, it’s as if the songstress came out of nowhere and made a beeline for success. Truth is, Tailor’s talent had been hibernating in another incarnation. She fronted the now defunct punk-rock band Mel-funktion which toured Japan but didn’t ever get to release an album. Perdeby caught up with Tailor to talk about her loyal fans, the lessons she learned from Mel-funktion and what she misses about Pretoria. You plan on moving from Cape Town to Jo’burg pretty soon. Has that happened yet? No, it hasn’t happened yet but it will later this year. It’s to promote the album and just 24/7 focus on that. You have an astounding ability to manipulate your voice in various ways. Is this something you practise or does it come naturally? I remember as a kid it used to be quite strange figuring out that part of me. I knew I could do it, but it wasn’t something I focused on while performing, or ever. It just came very naturally. Your lyrics are deeply personal and expressive. Do you find the songwriting process cathartic? It’s quite an easy process. Writing is quite an easy process for me, especially with The Dark Horse. It was a very natural process in writing. You bring that same emotional intensity into your performances. Do you find it draining? It is very draining but it still feels so good. Some people think that I leave the stage feeling angry. It just happens, once

again, very naturally. It’s not something I force and if I feel it, it happens and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. But it is tiring. Is it difficult to bare your soul to an audience? No, because I get on stage and I become Tailor, a part of me that I don’t show offstage. It’s just very truthful and raw, but it’s not premeditated at all. What was it like working with producer Matthew Fink on the album? It was amazing – he is a genius. He just let me do my own thing and be myself. He pushed me very hard and it was very long hours, literally 10 to 11 hours every day in studio. It was a magical journey. What lessons did you learn being a part of Mel-funktion that you are applying to the music you are making now as Tailor? To be honest, in Mel-funktion I knew that the music industry was difficult and it was a lot of hard work, but it’s even more hard work than I thought. I guess that built me, it kind of put down the groundwork for what was to come and I know who to work with now and who not to work with. It taught me various things, but that’s one of them. Have you been working on any new material, perhaps a follow-up album? I have, especially since the Zebra & Giraffe tour, I’ve written over 20 new songs. It’s crazy. I’m actually performing one of the new songs tonight, to kind of test the waters and see what the response is. Do you have any music videos in the pipeline? For now, I think we’ve shot pretty much all of them, especially the live ones just came out, like the live ones of “Shaped Like A Gun” and “Wolf”. You never know, some creative idea might pop up, but for now, music videos are complete. Fans from all over the world have asked when you are going to pay them a visit. Do you have plans to try and break into the international market? There are talks of it, so somewhere in the pipeline. Anywhere specific?

I’ve been getting a really good response from Ontario, so that could maybe be a possibility. You’ve been nominated for an MK Award for Best Video and Best Newcomer. How would you convince our readers to vote for you? I’ve been working really hard at this. I’m not saying that the other musicians didn’t, but I’ve been working ten years at this and especially the Best Newcomer one is quite special to me, so to just be recognised. I think to just be nominated is very cool but obviously to win it would be the bonus. You’re actually a Pretoria-born girl. What do you miss about the city? I miss the people. They’re much more different than [the ones] in Cape Town. Pretoria people are so welcoming and heartwarming and friendly. I just met this amazing fan now, Nadia Coetzer, she always comes to my shows. She brought me this present, like this horse and a little heart with it. That was just a sum up of how amazing Pretoria people are. You have quite the fan base. I know. I have a very loyal fan base. I might not have 20 000 likes on Facebook but the people that are there constantly come back. Fans are constantly saying how much your music has changed their lives. Do you feel that the job comes with a big responsibility? I feel like what I do is such a blessing. I keep reminding myself that I don’t want to do this for me, though I am the face of Tailor, I want it to be a very selfless project almost. My main mission with Tailor is to change people’s lives. Writing is a very natural process for me, so I’ve been blessed to do that and change people’s lives, so my job is done. I’m just going to sit back and gig. So no, I don’t think it is, in that sense, a big responsibility because it’s not all about me, it’s about them.

AMOK: anything but peaceful MELISSA PARSONS The musical powerhouse Atoms for Peace have released their revolutionary debut album AMOK. Experimental rock, delicate electronica, light dubstep and intelligent dance music (IDM) are what make AMOK a listening experience that will blow your mind wide open. Radiohead’s Thom Yorke brought the band together in 2009 to perform the material from his solo album The Eraser. After touring together, the group went into studio and created a sound of their own. Nigel Godrich is the producer, programmer and pianist, Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Flea is on bass, Mauro Refosco is the band’s percussionist and Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M) is on drums. The outcome of so many supreme musical beings working together is a patchwork of musical influences and darkly cryptic lyrics that will possess you. In an interview with BBC Radio 1’s Zane Louw, Yorke and Godrich explained the band’s sound: “It doesn’t sound like a band in the normal sense of the word because there’s this really grey, mushy area between what is electronic and what isn’t electronic … we have the luxury of knowing and you don’t.” AMOK’s opening track “Before Your Very Eyes” is utterly fascinating. You will be overwhelmed by the perfection of Yorke’s mellow vocals and the variety of sounds. Yorke swallows the lyrics of “Default”, but that’s not a problem as the intricate electro should be the

focus. The track is refreshingly original with fantastic percussion. The intertwining of an R&B melody, hip-hop feel and Yorke’s dreamy vocals on “Dropped” add to the strength of this IDM track. There is a note of sadness mixed with dread in Yorke’s voice as he wails: “I couldn’t care unless, such a mess” to the deep base rhythm of “Unless”. The eerie introduction of the final track “AMOK” is over a minute long and will have you feeling hypnotised until Yorke’s question “A penny for your thoughts?” reels you in. The jazz-synth melody on this track is the final ingredient that will have you replaying this album over and over again. It’s as if AMOK is straight out of some parallel universe with all its delectable modern synth and electro, but then you can hear the faint African influences in the harmonious “ooh, oohs” and deep jazz bassline of “Stuck Together Pieces”. By the end of the album you realise that it was Yorke’s intention all along to engrave Atoms For Peace into people’s minds using AMOK.

Verraaiers: proudly Afrikaans HEIN PAPENFUS Afrikaans films are, as a rule, generally a nono. This is not because they are bad movies, but rather because they are just not cool. This was illustrated when one was forced to endure hours of watching and re-watching Afrikaans movies in film study at school. Even Paljas, a very good film by any standard, was ruined by the attitude towards subtitles and painfully analytical discussions afterwards. This is an attitude that needs to be expelled, very quickly, because there is some serious talent knocking down the stigma wall. Verraaiers is written and produced by Sallas de Jager and is heavily influenced by the book Boereverraaiers by Albert Blake. Boereverraaiers is an account of the suffering endured by the Theunissen family during the second Anglo-Boer war in the early 1900s. The powerfully emotional story is brought to life by director Paul Ehlers who is meticulous in the depiction of historical correctness and the result is an absolute bull’s-eye. Jan van Aswegen, brilliantly played by Gys de Villiers, is a Boer commando who must face the reality that the war against the British is all but over and that carrying on the futile fight will only see his farm burnt to the ground and his family starving in a concentration camp. This follows a brutal “scorched earth” tactic employed by British general Kitchener in order to bring the tactically superior Boers to their knees by destroying their families and livelihood. Van Aswegen and his sons decide to return home and protect his farm and family, in doing so abandoning the Boer commandos

under his command. News of many men doing the same reaches the ears of those in command and steps are taken to make an example of those men now branded as “verraaiers” (that’s “traitors” if you haven’t worked it out yet). A court-martial system is put in place and before long, Van Aswegen and his sons are put before a tribunal bent on dishing out the death sentence for the so-called crimes against the fatherland. Van Aswegen, along with the others, is found guilty and sentenced to death by a firing squad. Shortly before the execution is set to take place, a letter is sent by general De la Rey (Deon Lotz) pardoning the guilty parties, but will the letter reach its destination in time? The acting, particularly by De Villiers and Lotz, is exceptional and adds to the extreme emotions that this film wrenches from the audience. The riveting story is made so much more distressing by the fact that countrymen would commit such atrocities against one another, illustrating the immense pressure imposed by the British invasion. The authenticity of the costumes and surroundings is a testament to the hard work put into making this film the success that it is. Proudly South African and proudly Afrikaans, this is a movie that will be enjoyed by all and more than likely bring a lump to the throat. Also, the easy-to-follow English subtitles make it suitable for those not versed in die taal. Well worth a watch. Verraaiers is currently showing at cinemas nationwide.

Social media: how many laws are you breaking? NOLWAZI MNGADI Social media and social-networking websites were created with the idea of giving people a platform on which to express opinions, share thoughts and ideas, and to create platforms in which people around the world can connect with each other. Social media not only benefits individuals but businesses too. According to SocialMediaExaminer.com, 65% of small business owners believe that social media helps them to engage better with their customers. The freedom that people have online allows a large number of opinions, whether positive or not, to be expressed, sometimes with far-reaching consequences. Perdeby investigates some of the negative aspects of social media. The first argument that people raise to defend their activity on social media is that freedom of speech is a constitutional right which is guaranteed to every person in South Africa. While this may be true, no right which is guaranteed in terms of our Constitution is absolute and all these rights may be limited. The infringement of your right is weighed up against how much your freedom of speech infringes the rights of others. According to an attorney at the Law Society of South Africa, “Defamation is the unlawful publication ... of a defamatory statement concerning [someone], which has the effect of injuring [the person’s] reputation.” Someone’s reputation is considered to have been injured “if the statement tends to lower [him or her] in the estimation of right-thinking members of society.” According to this definition, any statements made on social networks about a person which injure that person’s reputation are considered to be defamation. Many people may not consider their harsh comments on social networks to be defamation. However, the simple act of clicking the “post” button on Facebook is an act of publishing because your intention is for other people to read your status or comment. The same applies to tweeting and retweeting something

on Twitter. By retweeting something that was posted by another person, you may also be held liable for publishing their opinion. Last year, Liam Stacey, a student from Swansea University in Wales, made racist comments about a football player on Twitter, after which he was suspended from the university and given a prison sentence. Trying to defend himself, Stacey simply said, “I had had a lot to drink.” The negative side of social media is that despite the main point of many of these sites being to bring people closer together, it can also go the opposite way by separating people as they differ in opinion, belief or political affiliation. The recent Oscar Pistorius saga is an example of how social media can be used in a way that distorts the truth and causes the integrity of journalism to be undermined. When the news of Reeva Steenkamp’s shooting broke on the morning of 14 February, a media frenzy began on social-media websites about how the shooting had occurred. By the end of the

day, local and international news agencies had generated different versions of the story, with the result being that there was no clarity on the actual series of events. Social media and other online platforms have grown and come a long way since the days of MySpace and Friendster. These websites have evolved over the years and now, more than ever, play a bigger role in our lives. Last year, Chatterbox Digital compiled socialmedia statistics for South Africa, the results of which prove that an increasing number of South Africans are actively involved on social media platforms. The study revealed that 91% of South Africans with an internet connection had Facebook accounts and that there were over 405 000 active South African Twitter accounts in 2012. Whether it is to connect with old friends, to make new friends or to keep up to date with the latest news stories, there is no doubt that South Africans are becoming more reliant on quicker, more convenient means of communication. Something as dynamic as the internet may

seem to be uncontrollable by laws. However, in recent years, there has been a need for lawmakers around the world to create and enforce legislation in order to govern people’s illegal behaviour online. These attempts have not always been successful, as in the case of Max Mosley, the former president of the Formula One governing body, Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile. In 2008, a video was published by News of the World in which the high-profile businessman was filmed performing sadomasochistic acts with female prostitutes. When Mosley approached the court for an interdict to stop the publication of the video, the judge who was hearing the case stated that the video had already been viewed and shared by thousands of people online, rendering the interdict redundant. “So what?” you may think, “I can always create a false account and swear at all the people on my timeline. No one will ever know it was me.” Unfortunately, it is possible to de-anonymise social networks. A 2009 paper by Arvind Narayanan, a PhD student at the University of Texas, reveals that “anonymity is not sufficient for privacy when dealing with social networks.” It is possible to identify Twitter accounts based on different data sources. This method can also be used to identify anonymous users on other social networks as well as phone call records, academic records and many others. While you may exercise your freedom of expression on social media, it is becoming harder to treat social media as the notice board on which you can post every thought which pops into your mind. Emma Sadleir, social media lawyer and associate at Webber Wentzel, sums this up in an interview with Carte Blanche: “If you wouldn’t be prepared to put your photograph and your name on a massive billboard in Sandton City and have the content that you post online on that billboard, then don’t tweet it, don’t Facebook it, because the effect is exactly the same.” Photo: Eleanor Harding

Books and technology: a contest or convergence?

DITSHEGO MADOPI Consider all the futuristic movies you have seen. Common elements feature in most of them, such as air-borne cars, robots and voicecontrolled technological gadgets. Have you ever seen a book being read in any of these movies? Not likely. Could this be a foretelling of what will eventually happen to reading and interest in literature? In 2010, The Guardian reported that British independent bookstores were closing at a rate of two stores a week – and this from a country with one of the largest reading cultures in the world. Liam Borgstrom, an assistant lecturer in publishing at UP, says, “That’s more because of competition with online retailers than anything else. So while we are doing many more things

via technology at the moment, one of the big things is buying literature. People hear about a title via the media and, rather than buying it in a store, they order it.” Perdeby surveyed 80 Tuks students who have tablets and found the following: excluding their use in lectures, only 31 of these students consider reading on their tablets as one of its primary functions. The other 49 listed social networking, gaming, music and videos as the activities they most use their tablets for. Thando Msutwana, a second-year electrical engineering student, says, “I don’t read e-books on my tablet. I play games on it or use it for social networking. It also looks cool to be seen with it in hand.” As with most things people possess, the image the object helps portray is important. Holding a book in your hand seems

to say something quite different to holding a tablet in your hand. Borgstrom says, “I don’t agree that technology has overtaken an interest in literature. Those people who would rather spend all day with their gadgets, reading Facebook, taking photographs of food and pursed lips, would not be readers anyway.” Many reading apps have been developed for the gadgets we use, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that people are concerned with taking advantage of these apps. There is little you can do with a traditional book other than read it but tablets and other devices offer a wealth of other activities. On the other hand, e-readers should also be considered. These devices were almost exclusively dedicated to reading but have now evolved to include a range of entertainment or media uses. On the technological-interest site Webgranth. com Steven Bowen, a webpage developer, says that the websites containing technology news show that product reviews are highly in demand because the public wants to be kept updated on the latest technological advancements. “These days, with the increasing advancement in technology, the public interest for electronic gadgets [is] also rising day by day,” Bowen said. With technological devices infiltrating almost every field of work nobody wants to be left behind. It may no longer be about print versus technology but about how to converge the two. An article on bigthink.com, “Young people still read books, both online and in print” says, “For many young people, e-books supplemented, rather than replaced, print books.” This may confirm that people who read e-books are people who have already established a love for reading. An article on ThePremierTutors.org,

“Do electronic gadgets help or harm your education?”, mentions that, “In a survey of 1 200 e-reader owners, Amazon reported that the owners’ purchases of non e-books increased by 3.3 times.” The convergence of technological devices and literature could thus be seen as mutually beneficial. Last year, CNET.com reported that the people who are “most likely to read an e-book included people with college or graduate degrees”. This correlates with the exposure factor of having been in a learning environment that naturally promotes reading and the use of technological devices. However, reading is often something you grow up with and not a habit easily picked up in the middle of a person’s life. Lefa Sithole, a third-year mechanical engineering student, confirms this by saying, “Technological devices are more entertaining than reading. Most people will enjoy a [technological] device to play with, whereas reading requires a more specific type of person.” Our generation has grown up with technology rather than reading as a prominent factor in our lives. The 2006 movie Idiocracy takes a satirical look at a future society where people have become stupid as a result of commercialism and a lack of intellectual stimulation. UrbanDictionary.com goes on to describe the term “idiocracy” as a situation where “citizens have forgotten every form of good education”. Borgstrom believes that “In the future, books will likely be as popular as they are now. [They will be] revealed for their old-school charm and reading will still be considered one of the greatest mental challenges available to us. When skinny jeans and big glasses go out of fashion, hipsters will be identified by carrying books.” Photo: Hendro van der Merwe

Going for gold: how deep(-pocketed) is your love? LUSANDA FUTSHANE There are a few things to consider when contemplating a relationship. Do you have anything in common? Does she turn you on and make you laugh? Is he an axe-murderer? You know, the usual. Sometimes, however, you get the odd spanner thrown in the works. A very expensive gold-plated and diamondencrusted spanner which raises the sensitive question: “Can this person afford to be in a relationship with me?” Skirting all the obvious patriarchal and traditional implications of the issue, this week Perdeby explores relationships built on the “gold-digger” model. It is easy to imagine how a century ago a woman would aspire to a life of living off her significant other’s pay cheques. But bras have been burned, rocks have been stricken and the rules have changed. Gender roles are almost non-existent in today’s society, so why are women still comfortable with men taking care of them? The Guardian’s Sarah Churchwell argues in her article “Material girls: why gold diggers are back in fashion” that pop culture and Hollywood carry a lot of the blame. She claims that movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and television shows like Sex and the City cast women as fashion-obsessed romantics who rely on men to finance their expensive sartorial proclivities. “The modern gold-digger tale takes the metaphor and reduces it to its most crassly literal level. For all that the series Sex and the City insisted it was about women trying to juggle careers with romance, its opening voice-over was a string of longing references to stories about women who use sex to get ahead.” Amanda Kuluta, a first-year BCom Accounting student, says that she doesn’t respect women who are gold-diggers and finds them dangerous to the reputation of all women. “A man should support you emotionally and spiritually but not always financially. If we want to be treated as equals, we should act that way,” she begins. Kuluta peddles back a little to suggest a reason why some women would resort to gold-digging: “I guess if you were raised a certain way then you can’t really help the way you think, but you should know that you’re ruining the image of all girls.” For some women, gold-digging isn’t just a side effect of centuries of patriarchal reinforcement, but a well thought-out career plan. Remember that old joke about varsity being every girl’s last shot at finding a decent husband? Well, it turns out that it isn’t simply a story our grandparents tell us to scare adolescent girls into betting their entire futures on the first man they encounter at university. There are websites dedicated entirely to romantically linking up women with partners who can provide financial support. SeekingArrangement.com is one such website. Two months ago, Business Insider, a US business and technology news website, reported that 44% of the website’s members were varsity students in the USA. Young girls at university often find

themselves overwhelmed by the cost of being a student and SeekingArrangement.com provides them the opportunity to find older successful men to furnish their entire varsity careers in exchange for romantic relationships. This, however, is not only an American phenomenon. In fact, on this very campus (and probably somewhere in your calculus class) are the same sort of girls. Kate* admits that ever since she was seventeen years old she has only dated men with jobs and she has always expected them to look after her. “When I was in second year, my ex-boyfriend was paying my rent. My parents didn’t know about it so they would still send me money for rent and groceries and I’d just put that money in my savings account.” Even though Kate withholds her real identity, she does disclose that most of her close friends know about the sort of men she dates and some of them are actually proud to call themselves gold-diggers. “If Khanyi Mbau can do it and not be ashamed of it, why can’t the rest of us?” she

asks. In all our favourite fairytales, how many times does the poor beautiful village girl get rescued by the wealthy prince? Rags-toriches tales are the best ones to hear about and from a very young age girls are nudged into dreaming of their knight in shining armour (read: corporate tycoon in a Hugo Boss suit) who rides up on his trusty horse (read: Bentley) to rescue a young damsel from a fire-breathing dragon (read: student loan) and whisks her off to his palace on a hill (read: mansion in Dainfern). One could argue that gold-diggers are anti-feminist for throwing away their career ambitions for a life at the feet of a man. But then again, isn’t exchanging intimate favours for money the oldest profession in the world? *Name has been changed. Illustration: Simon-Kai Garvie

04 March ‘13 Sport Tuks lose narrowly to Maties

DAN LOMBARD FNB UP-Tuks lost 16-18 to FNB Maties at the Tuks Rugby Stadium last Monday. Tuks made many mistakes but will take positives out of the game. Tuks started off strongly. The home side’s nerves were quickly settled when prop Juan Schoeman scored in the corner after five minutes. Tuks fly-half Tian Schoeman kicked the conversion to give Tuks an 8-0 lead. Tuks kept the visitors at bay until just after the first strategy break when Maties scrum-half James Alexander scored. Fly-half JH Potgieter converted to draw Maties level with Tuks. The Pretoria team did not take long to strike back, with a penalty try being awarded to Tuks. Riaan Britz was high tackled by Maties wing Dean Hammond in the process of scoring. Tian Schoeman succeeded with the conversion attempt, giving Tuks a 16-8 lead. Hammond was shown a yellow card for the infringement. Maties had the last say in the first half when centre Mark Hodgkiss cut through the Tuks defence to score under the poles. Potgieter

converted to level the scores again. The first half ended 16-16. The second half was more tense than the first. Tuks forced Maties to defend for most of the second 40 minutes. Tuks were dealt a major blow when playmaker Tian Schoeman was taken off the field due to an injury. Maties took the lead with minutes remaining when replacement fly-half Dean Grant slotted a penalty after Tuks were penalised for bringing down a maul. Tuks pushed hard for the winning try, putting through phase after phase, but were held up over the try line, allowing Maties to take a dramatic 16-18 win. Tuks captain for the night William SmallSmith told Perdeby that his team “played well for many phases but too many unforced errors kept Maties in the game. Hats off to Maties as it’s difficult to come to Pretoria and win but in the end we lost against ourselves.” Photo: Brad Donald

Tuks 1 cricket thrash Tuks 2 NATALIE THOMPSON The Tuks 1 cricket team beat Tuks 2 in a warm-up match for the Premier League on 23 February. Tuks 1 narrowly beat Tuks 2 the previous weekend in the T20 league final. Unlike in the exciting T20, Tuks 2’s performance left room for improvement as Tuks 1 overwhelmed them in this match. Tuks 2’s innings started slowly with their first wicket falling in the 16th minute of play. Tuks 2 batsmen Tiaan Koekemoer and Waldemar Bodenstein built a partnership of 92 runs before Bodenstein’s wicket fell. The rest of Tuks 2’s wickets fell at regular intervals. Their total at the end of the innings was 232. Tuks 1 batsmen Ernest Kemm and Regardt Verster established a solid partnership of 181 runs. Kemm ended the innings on 101 not out. Tuks 2’s bowlers did not manage to take a

single wicket and the only Tuks 1 wicket to fall was as a result of a run-out. Head coach Pierre de Bruyn applauded the efforts of both Kemm and Verster, reiterating that their partnership put Tuks 1 in the position to win. De Bruyn said that “[Tuks 1] got the bonus point we needed. However, we bowled below standard. We have four home games left. The next big game is Pretoria High School Old Boys and we cannot afford to slip up or be complacent.” As defending champions of the NCU (Northerns Cricket Union) Premier League, Tuks 1 will have to win all their upcoming matches to be able to defend their title in the final. If they manage to do so, they will go on to represent the Northerns in the National Club Championship. Tuks are the reigning National Club champions. Photo: Hendro van der Merwe

FA Cup quarter-finals preview

MAXINE TWADDLE The quarter-finals of England’s oldest football tournament will take place this weekend as the last eight teams aim to get closer to the FA (Football Association) Cup’s Wembley final in May. Six out of the eight teams contesting for semi-final spots have won the cup before. In the first match of the weekend, Wigan Athletic travel to Goodison Park to face Everton. Wigan beat Huddersfield Town 4-1 on 17 February to advance to the quarter-finals, while Everton beat Oldham Athletic 3-1 in their fifth-round replay. Wigan have only reached the

quarter-final stage of the FA Cup once in the team’s history, in which they lost 2-0 to Leeds. Everton have won the FA Cup five times. Their last win in the tournament came in 1995. They lost the 2009 final 2-1 to Chelsea after scoring first through Louis Saha. Manchester City play Barnsley at the Etihad Stadium in Saturday’s late game. Manchester City beat Leeds United 4-0 to advance to the quarter-finals. Championship side Barnsley beat Milton Keynes Dons 3-1 in the fifth round. Manchester City have won the FA Cup on five occasions, most recently in 2011. Barnsley finished second in the tournament in the 1909-

1910 season and won it the following season. Millwall play Blackburn Rovers in the first of Sunday’s fixtures at The Den Stadium in London. Millwall played against Manchester United in the 2004 final and lost the match 3-0. Blackburn Rovers have not won the FA Cup since 1928, when they won it for the sixth time. Manchester United, who have won the competition 11 times, more than any other team, host cup holders Chelsea. Chelsea have won the FA Cup seven times. Chelsea were the last team to win at the old Wembley stadium and the first team to win at the new Wembley.

AmaTuks lose on penalties to Maritzburg United

ISHMAEL MOHLABE The University of Pretoria suffered a defeat on penalties to Maritzburg United on Saturday 23 February at Tuks Stadium. Maritzburg United outclassed the home side with a 4-2 triumph in a penalty shootout to advance to the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup. The score was 0-0 after 120 minutes. Both teams missed plenty of chances to score, although AmaTuks striker Mame Niang did come close on several occasions. Maritzburg threatened from set pieces and long-range shots and AmaTuks’ goalkeeper Washington Arubi had to produce some brilliant saves to keep his team in the game. With just ten minutes of the clock gone, Arubi was the first goalkeeper to be called into action. Mthokozisi Yende’s leftfooted attempt from the edge of the penalty area saw Arubi reaching for a save. Six minutes later, Maritzburg continued to attack as Ryan de Jongh fired from 25 yards, forcing another save from Arubi.

Steve Barker was forced to make an early substitution after a hamstring injury to Lionel Mutizwa, who limped off in the 20th minute. Mutizwa was replaced by Ronald Ketjijere. Soon afterwards, AmaTuks were on the attack. Shuaibb Walters was put to the test when Niang’s firm header hit off the woodwork after Aubrey Ngoma crossed from the left flank in the 36th minute. One minute later Maritzburg almost scored from a set piece. Dillon Sheppard fired a 25-yard free kick that bounced off the turf in the penalty area and hit Arubi’s chest. Rheece Evans reacted quickly to try to score off the rebound but his effort went over the crossbar. The second half of the game saw the two teams struggling to find their first-half form. Niang threw away a clear-cut scoring opportunity in the 78th minute after he had connected with a low cross from Ngoma. After two minutes of added time, another header from Niang just missed the goal. Niang, who had dominated almost every

aerial ball, missed another opportunity in the 100th minute, this time set up by David Radebe who had replaced debutant Charly Moussono-Moussono. Maritzburg nearly broke the deadlock as Delron Buckley steered an on-target volley to force Arubi into an acrobatic tip over the crossbar in the 117th minute. With just two minutes of extra time left Niang almost stole the show as his header was denied by Walters near the far post following Thokozani Sekotlong’s cross. When extra time ended goalless, the match had to be decided on penalties. AmaTuks won the toss and decided to kick first. Radebe took the first shot for AmaTuks and converted it. Niang and Sekotlong missed their kicks but Ngoma scored to make the score 2-3. After Ngoma had taken his shot, Cuthbert Malajila converted his penalty to put the game out of AmaTuks’ reach.
