Mrs South Africa crowned: Bedford teacher in top 5 In a display of elegance and style, the Mrs South Africa pageant surpassed even the highest expectations on 5 October at Emperors Palace.

The spectacular production drew on inspiration from 22 of the country’s most glamorous married women, and delivered a powerful celebration of feminine beauty and intelligence.

The 22 finalists, who represented their country and their home towns proudly, are inspirational married women who are dedicated to creating sound environments for their families and are devoted to the uplifting of their communities and South Africa.

Our homegrown beauty Roelien Kroon did us proud by being one of the top five ladies in the Mrs South Africa pageant.

As a teacher at Elandspark, a school for children

with special needs, and the co-owner of the Bedfordview Remedial and Learning Centre, Roelien stated that she intends to use the Mrs South Africa pageant as a platform to further her projects with children with special needs and to get more actively involved in the community.

Cape Town beauty Chane de Kock was officially crowned Mrs South Africa 2014.

Chané walks away with a prize package valued at over R600 000, including a new Cabrio DS3 from Citroen South Africa and Citroen Hatfield, treatments from The Laser Beautique valued at over R20 000, and Veaudry hair tools and styling for the year. D’Orē fashion will dress Mrs South Africa 2014 during her year of reign, to make sure she is always impeccably presented when attending to her duties as a South African ambassador.

Runners-up to the title were Chantelle Swart from Pretoria, crowned 1st Princess, and Kholofelo Chademanah from Bryanston, Johannesburg, who was crowned 2nd Princess.

Taking responsibility is the better way Well, the first week of October is officially done and dusted and tame TIMES has another jam-packed edition for our readers.

As the year is coming to an end I find myself thinking about the amazing people I have met throughout the year, people who are committed to making a difference in our community, and I get to meet people like this on a daily basis.

This week was no different. tame TIMES had the opportunity to attend the Oliver and Adelaide Tambo liberation walk on Saturday, where individuals from across the nation came

together to take steps to advance the education of disadvantaged children identified by the Oliver and Adelaide Tambo foundation (see page 15).

I also had the opportunity to meet with an avid rugby fanatic, Garry Kingston, who has recently published one of the most informative books about the game (read more on page 4).

In other news, tame TIMES is sticking to the pink theme for October and we once again have a full page aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer (see page 6).

I trust you will have a great week.

Miss Junior Teen prepares for toy run Laurelle Williams

laurelle@tametimes.co.za Kristen Martin, Miss Junior Teen South Africa 2013 is preparing for her next project - a Christmas toy run. The Sir John Adamson learner aims to collect over 3000 toys and teddies and to distribute to various government hospitals, hospices and the Bikers Toy Run the end of this year.

Chris Hani Baragwaneth, South Rand, Helen Joseph, Rehema Moosa and Charlotte Maxeke hospitals will be the beneficiary government hospitals.

The project will run from 14 October to 29 November and toys will be collected once a week on a Friday or on

request.

Sir John Adamson and Dalmondeor Primary are already on board but all schools, businesses and individuals are welcome to join in. tame TIMES asked Martin what she ascribes as the cause of troubled youth.

Martin said, “Peer pressure.

You get to high school and you want to be in the ‘cool’ group so you land up doing what they want you to do.

Sadly you only realise when it is too late, like when you fail or something bad happens.

The youth tend to be followers instead of leaders.”

If you would like to assist with Martin’s toy run, please contact Veronique on 082 734 2709.

Public transport on Ekurhuleni’s agenda As part of Public Transport Month activities, the City of Ekurhuleni launched a month long campaign to test all trucks with a gross vehicle mass of 3500kg and more.

The free vehicle assessment campaign is open until October 31 at Nigel, Boksburg and Kempton Park Testing Centres.

Other Public Transport Month activities will include taxis and buses, all in a bid to curb fatal road accidents as a result of vehicle unroadworthiness.

Metro’s spokesperson Sam Modiba says, “Ensuring that we have roadworthy vehicles on our roads is fundamental for us as a City because we have a high volume of heavy vehicles driving in and out of our City as a

Modiba encourages all public transport operators to book appointments and visit the City’s designated testing stations in order to seize the opportunity to be informed about the roadworthy status of their vehicles, on order for corrective measures to be taken to prevent deadly accidents.

“For the purpose of efficiency and due consideration of the time it takes to assess these vehicles, all the vehicles to be tested must be pre-booked,” Modiba said.

Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped – African Proverb Ever felt how infuriating it is when someone, either an individual or organisation, chooses to insult your intelligence by denying knowledge of something that could not exist without any one’s hand actively participating in its creation? Perhaps that’s a vague way to deliver the question, but I’m sure we have all experienced this. It’s beyond lying, it’s infuriating because this form of denial undermines one’s ability to look at the facts and come up to an accurate conclusion. The intention may have not been to land the plane illegally at Waterkloof, but it happened and it’s just not logical to imagine that the planes landing was unauthorised by anyone. Will the person who gave the green light please stand up.

Before I come across as one-sided, I must say: just because a crime happens at a specific centre, it does not necessarily make that centre a bad centre. Just because a Glenvista High student harasses a teacher, it doesn’t make Glenvista High a bad school, and an illegally issued passport does not mean the entire Home Affairs Department is bad. All it means is that we are not there yet, and here is what my vague question seeks to address. We do not need to apply a bureaucratic approach to the solving of such issues. What we need is frankness and some responsibility. A couple of weeks ago I made reference to a JF Kennedy quote, where he advises about a dedicated effort towards problems - the time to repair the roof is while the sun shines not when we’re drenched in the waters of the impending rain.

The problem I find with the current order, and unfortunately it’s best observed through government, is that there is hardly any problem solving done by implementation of proactive systems to prevent problems. What we currently call problem solving is actually just a grown up version of pin the tail. So often we either find the donkey, or that which looks like the donkey, we pin the tail and think we have solved the problem when in fact we have just created a gap for the actual problem to fester.

As an example I’ll use our police ministry with their recurring donkeys. Would anyone agree with me that we have a capacity problem, or is there a problem with the deployment? What criteria are being used? These are the kinds of questions I feel will actually serve us better on the road to authentic problem solving.

In the case of the Gupta plane landing, please quote me on this one - currently it seems Bruce Koloane is the donkey that tail will be pinned on. Even if it the donkey was ultimately to become Zuma and he was recalled as President, the problem will persist (the donkeys will remain with us) if the problematic eye of the needle is not addressed - and that’s the gospel according to Nieto.

Tragedy on the tracks Fake cops a danger

to community

Ilze Moore ilze@tametimes.co.za

“If you feel that you are being conned by criminals you have the right to ask to meet them at the nearest police station.”

The young boy was airlifed to Charlotte Maxeke Hospital.

October started tragically, when a 12-yearold boy was knocked down by a train in Germiston.

The ER24 Paramedics were called to the train station on Lake Avenue where they found the injured young child.

The boy has a broken leg and suffered severe injuries to his head, neck and back and was subsequently airlifted to Charlotte Maxeke

Hospital.

“It is not clear what happened; all we know is that he was standing on the platform on his way home from school when the accident occurred,” said Vanessa Jackson, crisis communicator for ER24.

According to reports from ER24 the young man’s aunt was present when the incident happened.

Bedfordview has experienced two hijackings by men posing as police officers.

In the one incident, the perpetrators’ car had a blue light.

The first incident took place on the N3 after the Gilloolys/Linksfield off-ramp, and the other on the corner of Kraft and North Reef Road. In both cases, the owners of the vehicles were first driven to, and dropped off, at far and unknown destinations.

According to Bedfordview SAPS spokesperson Sgt Nthlabathi, “The complainant was driving along the N3 Bedfordview. While driving he was stopped by the vehicle, they asked him for his driver’s license when one suddenly took out a firearm and pointed it at them asking for their belongings.”

The Bedfordview police are investigating a case of robbery with a firearm and no one has been arrested.

In the second incident the victim was driving on the N3 Highway in Edenvale.

The driver pulled out from the road and parked on the side of the road when he was approached by three black males.

They pretended to be police officers, were not armed and searched him.

They took 1800 US dollars. No arrests have been made.

Lt Col Hutchons advises civilians that a police officer should always have a police ID and nametag on the left of their chest.

“If you feel that you are being conned by criminals you have the right to ask if you can meet them at the nearest police station.”

Several injured in Primrose Square parking accident An accident at the Primrose Square parking lot left several people injured after an elderly woman lost control of her vehicle.

The vehicle hit three pedestrians and a motorcyclist then crashed into decorative stones and shopping trolleys. According to reports the driver of the vehicle took off at a speed then hit a beacon, the biker and three

pedestrians.

Emer-G-Med were the first on the scene taking the three seriously injured people to the Roseacres Life Clinic, in Primrose.

The motorcyclist and the elderly woman were not seriously injured and were, therefore, not taken to hospital. The injured people were treated by advanced life support paramedics on scene before being transported to hospital.

Bedfordview’s Nicole Laxton, the Casual Day Ambassador, raised an incredible R26 050 for the 2013 Casual Day project, which will benefit the Gauteng Branch of Epilepsy SA in Springs, Sunshine Association Early Learning Centre in Els burg, the National Council for Persons with Physical Disability in Edenvale and other participating beneficiaries.

As a Casual Day ambassador, Nicole worked hard to raise awareness for Casual Day. Laxton organised fundraisers, visiting early learning centres for children with disabilities, did media interviews and used her personal networks in order to raise awareness.

Project leader Celeste Vinassa said, “Casual Day is a success because we have a network of volunteers who contribute their time, energy, enthusiasm and experience to the project.

Quiz book treat for rugby fanatics “His brain teasers will remind you of many personalities and incidents that have helped to make rugby the thrilling spectacle it is.”

Proud and passionate about his finished product The Rugby Legends Quiz Book, tame TIMES caught up with author and Quiz Master Garry Kingston.

He sits comfortably at the dining room table of his Primrose home looking down with his glasses slanted down, sitting at edge of his nose, and proudly reads inserts from his book.

“Which Springbok did not play in a test with the British and Irish Lions but did come face

to face with a real Lion?”

The insightful book of 501 questions will have rugby fanatics reminisce about the legends who made the game as exciting as it is today.

Kingston never thought that phoning in to a 702 sports quiz talk show, hosted by David O’Sullivan and Albie During every Friday night, would present him with an opportunity to write a book about the game that he knows and loves.

“I still can’t believe I had finished the book.

Sometimes you dream of doing something but you don’t think you can do it,” Kingston says.

“This book grew out of a suggestion by

Sportstalk radio presenter David O’Sullivan that I should consider compiling a rugby quiz book after calling in every Friday night to test their knowledge,” Kingston adds.

According to Garry his passion for the game dates back to the day when he saw Springbok flyhalf Kieth Oxlee work his magic against Natal against his home team border at the BRU Grounds in East London. This interest developed into the keeping of scrapbooks about the game and its personalities, as well as facts and figures that he would glean from various newspapers. In this way the book has grown out of those boyhood scrapbooks from

She is very active in her own community, organised a fundraiser for Casual Day at all the S.W.E.A.T 1000 franchises in South Africa, and personally attended the Bedfordview event on Casual Day. She says she is constantly reminded by something that Desmond Tutu once said: “Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”

Casual Day is South Africa’s foremost fundraising campaign for persons with disabilities and is the flagship project of the National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities in SA (NCPPDSA).

This year’s Go Big theme was celebrated nationally on Friday 6 September by approximately two million South Africans who participated by donating their R10 for the official Casual Day sticker.

How safe is radiation?

FOR RECOVERY

The most common form of cancer among women is breast cancer, with about one in nine South African women likely to suffer the disease, which is no respecter of boundaries. Women of all races and all classes are susceptible.

But the good news is that caught early, breast cancer is one of the most treatable forms of the disease and is far from a death sentence. Among the warning signs are: - A mass or lump, which may feel as small as a pea; - A change in the size, shape, or contour of the breast; - A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm that persists through the menstrual cycle; - A blood-stained or clear fluid discharge from the nipple; - A change in the feel or appearance of the skin on the breast or nipple (dimpled, puckered, scaly, or inflamed); - Redness of the skin on the breast or nipple; - An area that is distinctly different from any other area on either breast; and - A marble-like hardened area under the skin.

Among the treatments for breast cancer are chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, which could involve either removing only the lump or else a complete mastectomy. This is where the support group Reach for Recovery comes in.

About Reach for Recovery An international organisation, Reach for Recovery was started in South Africa in 1967, and there are 20 branches

in South Africa.

Chairperson of the JHB Branch, Beulah Jankelowitz, explains that Reach for Recovery is a support group for breast cancer patients that provides emotional and physical support. All the counsellors are trained breast cancer survivors, who are able to understand the feelings of the newly-diagnosed patient.

“We are approached by doctors and often by the patients themselves, and when we hear someone is about to have surgery, we visit them either at home or in the hospital,” she said. “We explain what is going to happen, and what they can expect. We provide pretty floral bags for them to carry their drains, and very soft cushions to put under their arms so they can be more comfortable. “While we can’t provide medical advice, we are available to answer questions both during and after their treatment,” she said.

Reach for Recovery is once again the designated beneficiary for the SPAR Women’s 10km Challenge and 5km Fun Run at Wanderers on 13 October, with a portion of all entry fees going to the support group. Many members of Reach for Recovery will be taking part in the challenge and fun run, wearing their distinctive pink t-shirts. Do your bit to fight the scourge of cancer by taking part in the SPAR Joburg Challenge. The first 15 000 entrants will receive a free race t-shirt, and the first 15 000 to finish the race will receive a medal and a goodie bag and perhaps you will be the one to win the lucky draw for a brand new Nissan Micra.

Breast Assured supports recovery Breast Assured founder, Marina Schultz lost her mother at a young age due to cancer and has since had a soft spot for CANSA. Schultz attributes the lack of a dedicated mastectomy accessories fitting centre as one of the challenges that aggravated her mother’s condition. In response to such difficulties, Shultz established Breast Assured situated at 99 Michelle Avenue in Randhart.

Marina, her partner and Krystle Matias will be working closely with Delaine Viljoen and her staff from Alberton Orthopaedics, to ensure that patients are afforded the best possible care. As a dedication to their mission, Breast Assured donated underarm pillows to patients undergoing surgery or chemotherapy on behalf of Reach for Recovery Alberton, with CANSA Alberton helping to ensure that patients who cannot afford these pillows do receive one.

Often patients are very concerned when they hear that they need to undergo radiation therapy.

Questions are raised as to whether or not radiation is safe.

Radiation rules Radiation science needs to follow strict legislation that governs issues concerning radiation exposure to patients and personnel. A set of guidelines regarding the installation and use of equipment, quality assurance checks, exposure levels to which patients and radiation personnel and other staff may be exposed to has to be adhered to.

Radiation and sterility Pregnancy is contraindicated for most forms of radiological exposure, except ultrasound and MRI scans. Radiation exposure from diagnostic procedures is far lower than compared to therapeutic x-rays used for cancer treatment.

Sterility from radiation exposure is only seen in patients receiving high doses of radiotherapy for cancer treatment with exposure to ovaries and testes, if these are in the area being treated.

Radiation personnel are required by law to wear dosimeters measuring their monthly/annual exposure and to don protective shielding garments when directly exposed to x-rays.

Individuals with unregulated long-term exposure to low dose radiation may develop cancers, especially in sensitive organs such as the thyroid gland. Whole body high energy radiation exposure may be fatal, as seen in a nuclear fallout.

However, exposure to radiation as part of the diagnosis and management of medical conditions is safe, effective and vital in providing the information required for doctors to make diagnosis and treat patients correctly. Ultimately patients have an important role to play in providing information that will enable medical practitioners to direct their efforts towards those investigations that will provide the best answers.

10 IMPACT ECONOMIC

The United States swayed into a dreaded government shutdown on 1 October for the first time in 17 years, triggering agency closures and hundreds of thousands of absences as Congress missed a deadline to pass a budget.

Ten minutes before midnight, after a day of furious brinkmanship between President Barack Obama’s Democrats and rival Republicans, the White House ordered federal agencies to initiate their shutdown procedures in a deeply divided Washington.

Lawmakers had hardly haggled over budgetary matters in the final frantic hours before the deadline - the end of the fiscal year. Instead, they argued over whether to link the budget pact with efforts to delay Obama’s healthcare law. According to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, it was an unnecessary blow to America. As a mood of crisis enveloped Washington, no compromise emerged to head off the first such disaster since 1996.

Instead, the Democratic-led Senate and Republican House of Representatives played a futile game, sending funding bills between them that were doomed to fail.

Obama accused Republicans of holding America at ransom with their “extreme” political demands, while his opponents struck back at his party’s supposed arrogance.

Around 800 000 government workers were expected to be sent home, government services were to be slashed and monuments such as the Statue of Liberty

and national parks would close. The crisis is rooted in an attempt by “Tea Party” Republicans in the House to make passage of a new government budget conditional on thwarting Obama’s signature health reform law.

The Democratic-led Senate and the president have repeatedly rejected this strategy and urged Republicans to pass an extension to government funding to temporarily stave off the shutdown.

In a deeper sense, the shutdown is the most serious crisis yet in a series of rolling ideological skirmishes between Democrat Obama and House Republicans over the size of the US government and its role in national life.

On a day of accelerating brinkmanship, Republicans doubled down on their bid to gut Obamacare, as the healthcare law, the most sweeping social legislation in decades, is known. House lawmakers passed a bill that would delay the individual mandate, which forces all Americans to buy health insurance under the new law, for a year. But the Senate, which must also sign off on budget measures, immediately rejected the bill.

Obama warned that a government shutdown could badly damage an economy which has endured a sluggish recovery from the worst recession in decades. “A shutdown will have a very real economic impact on real people, right away. Past shutdowns have disrupted the economy significantly,” Obama said.

Mandela is ‘fine’, according to Winnie Former president Nelson Mandela, who is receiving treatment at home after spending nearly three months in hospital, is ‘fine’, his ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela said on Sunday.

“He is fine, the spirits of Africa, his ancestors, our ancestors are keeping him for all of us,” Madikizela-Mandela told the SABC. Mandela is receiving intensive care for a respiratory illness at his Johannesburg home, where he returned after being discharged on 1 September.

He had spent 86 days in a Pretoria hospital.

The 95-year-old’s condition was described as critical but stable throughout his stay.

In recent weeks, updates about Mandela’s health have appeared more positive, with his grandson saying last month that he was sitting up on his bed, doing “much better” and was not completely bed-ridden.

The frail statesman has faced several health scares in recent years, amid lung problems that date back to his 27 years in jail.

Consultants Macroeconomic Advisors said it would slow growth, recorded at a 2.5% annual pace in the second quarter.

A two-week shutdown would cut 0.3 percentage point off of gross domestic production.

It would also have a painful personal impact on workers affected - leaving them to dip into savings or delay mortgage payments, monthly car loan bills and other spending.

Polls show more Americans would blame Republicans for the shutdown than Democrats, leaving Boehner torn between his party’s wider political interests and a vocal section of his own party.

Stocks on Monday retreated as traders braced for the shutdown.

President Barack Obama says of the government shutdown: “The longer this goes on, the worse it will be.”

97% of NASA will be furloughed during the shutdown.

2

Space will go silent. The NASA social media staff behind @MarsCuriosity, a prolific and wildly popular account, have been furloughed. Nasa.gov is also offline.

FRIDAY, OCT. 11: United Technologies, a major defense contractor, says it will be forced to furlough 4,000 workers at two of its companies, Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems. Sikorsky says it will furlough 1,000 more.

4

Twenty-four American war cemeteries, including the Normandy American Cemetery at the site of the D-Day invasion, will close. The cemeteries are operated by the American Battle Monuments Commission and are where nearly 125,000 U.S. soldiers who died abroad during battles are interred.

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 16: Federal courts could shut down. Administrators say the courts will stay open for roughly the first 10 business days of the shutdown, but they say they would have to reassess matters on Oct. 15.

5

Charges of on-the-job discrimination complaints will not be investigated. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which oversees these investigations, will record the charges and hold them until after the shutdown.

6

The Department of Transportation will not drug test its employees.

How much worse is still an open question. Nobody has been through this in 17 years, and federal agencies are scrambling to make adjustments. But more examples are emerging each day of the damage that a prolonged shutdown would wreak.

Here are some examples of what would happen if the shutdown stretched days, weeks or even months.

This is how much the state of Arizona is losing because of national park closures. (Including the Grand Canyon)

Whales will be on their own. The scientific advisory committee that monitors their safety will shutter all operations, save for a few members, appointed by the president, who will watch for emergencies.

THURSDAY, OCT. 17: The Big One. The date at which the federal government exhausts its ability to borrow money, unless Congress raises the limit it can borrow — negotiations increasingly likely to be tied up with talks on the shutdown. After Oct. 17, the Treasury would have about $30 billion on hand, enough to cover only a few days. Predictions for the fallout in the financial markets are catastrophic.

FRIDAY, NOV. 1: Already, as many as 19,000 children in 11 states have been left out of Head Start programs because grant money ran out Sept. 30. Sally Aman, a spokeswoman for the National Head Start Association, says she is unsure how many more children would be left out if the shutdown reaches Nov. 1, but local Head Start programs renew annual grants throughout the year, so thousands more would almost certainly be affected.

‘Each day that goes by’: That’s often how the danger increases for intelligence services, Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper told Congress this week.

About 70 percent of the intelligence services’ civilian workforce has been furloughed. “The danger here,” Clapper said, “will accumulate over time.” He cited information lost because he has fewer people to track targets.

Anene Booysen murder trial to start The trial of the man accused of raping and killing teenager Anene Booysen is expected to begin in the Swellendam Circuit Court on Monday.

Johannes Kana’s last court appearance was at the Western Cape High Court on 7 September, where the trial was postponed for four weeks. A total of 52 witnesses were expected to be called to testify.

Prosecutor Maria Marshall said she had provided Kana’s lawyer Pieter du Toit with further particulars and would deliver the last statements to him. She had drafted a set of admissions for the defence to consider.

Should the defence make certain admissions, the trial will likely to be shortened as fewer witnesses would have to be called.

Du Toit said there was a possibility of two trials-withina-trial, one related to a statement Kana made and the other to a videotape of Kana pointing out scenes to police.

Kana remained in custody.

The 21-year-old allegedly raped and disemboweled 17-year-old Booysen between the night of Friday, February 1 and morning of February 2 this year, near Kleinbegin, Bredasdorp.

She died at Tygerberg Hospital on the afternoon of 2 February.

Earlier this month, Readathon Ambassadors Hlubi Mboya, Grethe Fox, Ntsiki Mazwai and Thato Tholo gathered at READ’s head office for the Annual Reading Starz Workshops. These leaders in the entertainment industry held separate workshops to help selected learners to master their particular fields.

Only 25 learners were selected from an overwhelming number of entries to a Readathon competition held at the beginning of the year. The challenges were three-pronged: • Write a script that would earn a place in the Drama and

Script-writing Workshop held by Grethe Fox and Hlubi Mboya.

• Submit a poem that would stand a chance to join Ntsiki Mazwai in her workshop, Poetry and Writing • Create a television advertisement link good enough to secure a spot in Thato Tholo’s workshop, TV Presenting and Public Speaking Workshop.

A fourth workshop gave everyone a chance to learn how to run a successful book club. This was hosted by Katherine Alexander from READ Educational Trust who shared her vast knowledge on book clubs, which includes how to combat challenges facing book clubs in disadvantaged communities.

GDE improving quality of education of deaf Learners The newly developed South African Sign Language Curriculum is set to roll out for the first time in all South African schools for the deaf in 2014.

Plans are afoot to ensure that the rollout of the South African Sign Language in Gauteng runs smoothly and are delivered by adequately trained, competent and accredited teachers.

The Gauteng Department of Education handed over certificates to 115 educators from schools for the deaf and to officials who underwent training in South African Sign Language.

The training was meant to ensure that educators at these schools are adequately qualified to provide quality education in the most appropriate language understood by deaf learners and in environments which maximize academic and social

development.

The training incorporated disability awareness, understanding the linguistic features of South African Sign Language, deaf culture, educational techniques and materials to support deaf learners.

Previously educators who received training in South African Sign Language had done so by means which were either self-initiated or through funding obtained through sponsorships by the schools. “The training provided by the department is a way of recognising the importance of skilling educators in schools for the deaf in a structured manner that enables learners to access curriculum through the best possible means,” said Gauteng Education MEC Ms Barbara Creecy.

The focus of the first rollout is targeted at educators in the foundation and intermediate phase. “We recognise that the majority of deaf learners come from hearing families and for many of them their first point of learning South African Sign Language is at a school for the deaf. It is for this reason that we prioritised training for Foundation and Intermediate phase educators,” said Creecy.

For more information contact the Gauteng Department of Education’s spokesperson, Gershwin Chuenyane on 011 843 6371 or 071 860 4496.

Feeling Good at Beefcakes

Jozi diners are in for a treat when two of SA’s most prolific performers and artistic giants, Michael de Pinna and Johan Laas take to the stage for a new cabaret-cumsupper club production Feeling Good.

The production is staged at Beefcakes in Illovo for a limited run of four consecutive Sunday nights from 13 October - 3 November.

Michael de Pinna, singer, actor and classy comic, loved by South Africans as Vodacom’s “Yebo Gogo” guy, joins with award-winning music supremo and renowned producer Johan Laas, whose recent achievements

include arranging for the popular Idols TV show. The show has been directed by Maralin Vanrenen, recipient of a SAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award for her contributions on stage and television.

While musical director Johan tickles the keyboard with his inimitable flair, Michael will delight with a range of characters, songs and some irreverent humour. Audiences can enjoy renditions of Michael Bubles’ Meglio Stasera, You’re just too good to be true, Feeling Good, Rocky Horror Medley, Send in the Clowns, The Great Pretender, Suspicious Minds, and many more.

A highlight of the performance will be De Pinna in full costume – “coaxed out of drag retirement, my dear”, with a laugh-a-minute medley of “manly” tunes.

Dinner is available from 18:00 for those wanting to make an evening of it, with the show starting at 19:00. Cost of R100 per person (show only). Table bookings are through Beefcakes by calling 011 447 5266 or e-mailing joburg@beefcakes.co.za.
