OTTERY
Embracing work abroad AVRIL FILLIES
N
ot all of us are able to travel or work overseas but well-known sports journalist Ierfaan Cassiem from Ottery has this privilege. Cassiem shares his experience of living in Bahrain in Saudi Arabia with People’s Post. “In March 2013, I accepted a job offer from a company in Saudi Arabia. This meant I had to relocate from Cape Town to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is a huge country with a land area of approximately 2 150 000km2. The company I work for is based in the Eastern Province of the country in a city called Al Khobar. “What I enjoy most about ex-pat life is working with so many people from different nationalities. Although I work in Saudi Arabia, the majority of my colleagues are Egyptians. Then I have colleagues from Turkey, Spain, England and Portugal. And I have also been fortunate to visit all those countries. “Another great thing is that all the Egyptians are football crazy. They all support Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian who plays for Liverpool. I have supported Liverpool for more than 40 years and have been suffering for the past 30 years not winning the league. “An Egyptian colleague and I took a trip to Liverpool and it was an incredible experience. A few months after that I took my family and my sons and I went to watch a few games. “Travelling from here is quite easy. There are direct flights from Bahrain or Saudi to most destinations, but I prefer to fly on Emirates via Dubai. I then meet my family in Dubai and together we travel to England or Europe with Emirates connecting flights. “I am not a lover of Arabic food. I prefer the typical South African food I grew up with. Arabic food is mainly chicken or meat with loads of rice. Their meat and chicken are very bland and lacks spice. But the food is relatively cheap. “During my first year here, I picked up about 30 kilograms. Mainly due to eating lots of rice and bread and doing no exercise. It just worked, ate and slept. “When I moved to Bahrain, the building I moved to had a gym. I started to make use of the gym and I can happily say I lost all

You will miss family and friends if you move here without them. But it is easy to make new friends over here. The majority of the people are expatriates themselves and they enjoy meeting new people. South Africans are highly respected and people see them as similar to Europeans. “On the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia in the Persian Gulf, between Saudi Arabia and Qatar is a small island called Bahrain. “Bahrain is the third smallest state in Asia
and occupies a land area of about 475.5km2. It has a population of 1 425 171 people. The Gulf of Bahrain (the Persian Gulf’s inlet on the eastern side of Saudi Arabia) separates the two nations. The only crossway between the two countries is the King Fahd Causeway. The Causeway was officially opened to the public in 1986. The idea of this causeway connecting the two states was the outcome of King Saud’s plan of solidifying the connection between the two kingdoms. “I decided to make Bahrain my residence and every morning and night I cross the 26km long King Fahd Causeway bridge be-

Some of these included language (in Bahrain English is more commonly used than in Saudi where many people struggle with English), the fact that my wife could drive a car (Saudi Arabia only allowed women to drive since June 2018), the food (more western diet in Bahrain), less congestion (Saudi Arabia is overpopulated), freedom of movement for my family and better schools for my children.

Strap to help in times of need RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
A
Richwood resident and graphic designer, Olivia Viglatzis, has launched a new customised emergency strap to help during an emergency. The strap folds around seat belts, a baby seat and backpack strap and has details of the driver, baby or school going child – these include the name and surname of the individual, an emergency contact and medical aid details. “All of this came to mind one evening when I was driving to the shop and thought to myself, ‘what would happen if I was to be in an accident? “How would the emergency services know who to contact? “And so it all started,” Viglatzis explains.
They also decided to make the strap available for school backpacks. “School children get injured and no one knows who to contact,” Viglatzis adds. According to her the idea started small and they hope they can someday grow it into a business. “We started in November and we have only done things via Facebook so far, so we are really still small.” The business has gained some momentum through word of mouth. Viglatzis hopes to approach medical aid companies to get involved. “We will be marketing it ourselves for now as each of the emergency straps are individually made for that particular person’s needs.” The straps can be ordered and mailed to anywhere in the country.

Ready to light up the streets in 2020 The 2020 edition of the Cape Town Carnival will light up the streets of the CBD on Human Rights Day, Saturday 21 March. Celebrating 10 years of bringing people together, igniting joy and unity through creativity and providing second-to-none entertainment, this year’s theme is “Incredible Journey: Sounds of South Africa” which will showcase the music, dance and art of our country and how it connects us as a nation
FROM PAGE 1 “Bahrain is a former British-controlled territory which gained independence in 1971. There is still a large British presence and influence on the island. Although Arabic is the official language, English is widely used and most people can speak English. British sports such as football, rugby and cricket are also popular on the island. The Bahrain Rugby club - first part of the British club and established in 1971 - is one of the finest sporting clubs in the region. It provides an unrivalled experience for anyone seeking to take part in recreational or competitive sports. The club’s legendary hospitality also provides a home away from home for the large expatriate community,” he says.
to our past, future, our country and each other. “It is a perfect opportunity; especially considering the day’s national importance, to recognise, honour and celebrate the diversity of our people and the richness of our collective cultures. The Cape Town Carnival is a colour and sound spectacle of magnificent floats, costumed performers, dancers and community groups, all who have been preparing for months to show what they are
most proud of,” says Jay Douwes, Cape Town Carnival chief executive officer (CEO). The free-to-watch public spectacle is preceded by a year-round community-driven programme rolled out across the Cape metropole. The organisation is also home to a workshop of marvels in Maitland, which is where the float-building, metalwork, costume design, pattern-making and garment manufacturing for the event takes place.
“Bahraini nationals account for just 48% of the population, with the rest being expats from different parts of the world. There is a large South African community and, like me, most of us work in Saudi Arabia. Some work as far as Riyadh and only travel to Bahrain where their wives and kids live for weekends. There are also quite a few South African restaurants (Nandos, The Butcher Shop & Grill and Jimmy’s Killer Prawns) on the island. In addition, we also have a South African speciality shop selling groceries and foodstuff from back home. This shop also sells biltong, droëwors and boerewors. There are also many South Africans who sell South African delicacies like koeksisters, melktert and konfyt from their homes.” He continues: “Bahrain is among the
more progressive Islamic nations and women have had the right to vote and participate in elections since 2002. In spite of this, some feel that political liberalisation still has a long way to go. Bahrain also has a Formula 1 GP and there are many other social events such as jazz festivals, pop concerts and Bollywood events. “Bahrain has become a melting pot of people from different nationalities and ethnic backgrounds. The country is perceived as being more liberal than the surrounding Middle Eastern countries but it still has moral rules that govern almost every aspect of life. Expats will greatly benefit if they read about the Arab lifestyle before moving to Bahrain. Before I left Cape Town, I was writing and broadcasting sport on Radio 786 and SuperSport.”

A place in the sun for matrics NETTALIE VILJOEN The heat was on at the official premises of the premier, Alan Winde on Thursday 16 January when the Western Cape’s top achievers in the 2019 National Senior Certificate Examinations were announced. While the top three candidates in the Western Cape at this point were no secret, the suspense surrounding which high schools would come in tops could have been responsible for at least some of the drops of perspiration forming on attending principals’ foreheads. Or perhaps it was just because of the sun beating down on Leeuwenhof’s grounds. While the names of Madelein Dippenaar (Hoërskool Gimnasium), Gary Allen (Rondebosch Boys’ High School, and Anuoluwa Makinde (Milnerton High School) – who also happened to be the top three national candidates – had been released on 7 January, the list of top 20 schools in the province was still a mystery. A few speeches and many a head dab later, Westerford High School (Rondebosch), Rustenburg Girls’ High School (Rosebank) and Star College Bridgetown (Athlone) – in that order – were announced as the top three schools in the Western Cape. Mark Smith, principal of Westerford High School, said it came as a surprise. “We are listed ninth nationally so we suspected we would be somewhere in the top 10 in the Western Cape, but not first place.” Originally from Pretoria, Smith is quick to point out that he only joined the school in the last term of 2019. “All the credit goes to the school’s teaching body and learners.” According to the School Performance Report on the DBE’s website, Westerford has had a 100% pass rate from 2015 to 2019. Smith says the education that learners receive at Westerford covers much more than the standard syllabus. He says that although he is proud of the learners’ exam achievements, that is not the school’s focus; rather its teaching methods are aimed at developing learners’ lateral thinking. Michael Gates, principal at Rustenburg Girls’ High School, says there has always been a healthy rivalry between them and Westerford. “But they deserve it.” Altogether 166 learners from Rustenburg
wrote the NSC exams. Between them, they share 614 distinctions and all of them matriculated with a bachelor’s pass. “The children are incredibly motivated, the girls push each other.” He says the school also has a very dedicated staff. “Our head of academics, Susan Schnetler, is instrumental in keeping teachers informed of all of the proper Caps procedures.” Gates says Rustenburg fully adheres to the national curriculum. “Our school is proof that the system set up can work if implemented correctly.” Ugur Hulusi Patli, the principal of Star College Bridgetown, says the school prides itself on an ethos of belief, nurturing and helping each student achieve their potential and becoming successful. A total of 42 learners wrote the NSC exam at the school, achieving a 100% pass rate. “We are extremely proud of this achievement and the cherry on top is being placed third in the Western Cape and top boys’ school in Western Cape.” Patli says they are grateful for the support
of their parents, the dedication of the teachers and the hard work and effort put in by their students. “The results of the learners can be ascribed to constant and hard work, extra classes and a desire by one and all to produce excellent results,” he says. On a provincial level, the Western Cape – with an overall pass rate of 82.3% for 2019 – moved from third to fourth place in the national table. “No team is happy to see their ranking drop down the league table. But we must keep our eyes on the real prize: ensuring that we get better every single year as regards quality and giving our youth the best possible opportunities to make a meaningful difference in their lives and our country,” the minister of education, Debbie Schäfer said at the event. The province’s bachelor pass rate for the 2019 NSC stands at 46.3% – the highest yet. The Metro North Education District achieved the highest district percentage pass rate in the province (86.3%). Overberg came in a close second (86%). Altogether 69 schools (15.4%) achieved a 100% pass rate and nearly two-thirds of Western Cape schools have a pass rate of over 80%. The pass rate of Quintile 1, 2 and 3 schools
together has increased by 17% since 2009. Another encouraging statistic is that the Western Cape has the highest retention rate from Grade 10 to 12 in South Africa. Free State “lost” 34 447 learners (57.9%). Gauteng “lost” 99 371 learners (50.4%). North West “lost” 36 855 learners (57.9%) and the Western Cape, 27 898 (35.6%). “No loss is something that we are proud of. But 35% against 50% and above is quite some difference,” Schäfer said. She ended her speech acknowledging the hard work that goes into helping young people and congratulating the achievers. Jakob Holm (Diocesan College) and Justine Verwey (Rustenburg Girls’ High School) are the fourth and fifth top candidates in the province, respectively. The remaining top schools, from fourth to 20th, are Herschel Girls School, Springfield Convent of the Holy Rosary, Rondebosch Boys’ High School, Hoër Meisieskool Bloemhof, Diocesan College, Rhenish Girls’ High School, Claremont High School, Paul Roos Gimnasium, Herzlia High School, Hoër Meisieskool Paarl, SA College High School, Hoër Meisieskool La Rochelle, Wynberg Girls’ High School, Hoërskool DF Malan, Parklands College, Parel Vallei High School and St George’s Grammar School.

High Tea raises enough tour money AVRIL FILLIES
A
ttendees from Kraaifontein, Mitchell’s Plain, Eerste River, Bellville, Paarl, Wellington and Saron at the High Tea on Saturday 18 January in Brittania Bay made it possible for Joshua Claasen, Grade 11 learner at Beacon Hill High School in Beacon Valley, Mitchell’s Plain, to tour to the Netherlands. “In November my husband, Danville, and I read in a Cape Town newspaper about his plight that due to a lack of funds he won’t be able to take part in the Global Classroom exploration tour to the Netherlands. We are all ex-University of the Western Cape students and established the UWC UAE Alumni Chapter in Abu Dhabi,” says Francis Fourie, the former chair of the organisation. She resigned the end of last year as chair. Joshua was selected to be part of the tour from Wednesday 3 to Sunday 14 June and he thought it would only be a dream. The tour costs R22 500 and includes his accommodation, flights, passport, Schengen visa and travel insurance. “When I told my parents that I was selected my mother, Amanda, was more excited than me. My father, Stephen, was working short time and I knew we couldn’t fork out the money, or the deposit of R10 000 to secure a place on the tour,” Joshua says. He was one of 12 learners at the school who were selected and all of them were in the same boat; not having the cash to pay for the tour. “When Joshua told us, my husband said that the same God that is giving him this opportunity will provide the money for him to tour. Today I am humbled by the fact that Francis and everyone that contributed ensured that the money was raised and paid in full,” says Amanda Claasen.
Joshua Claasen from Mitchell’s Plain (middle) is with Francis Fourie, ex-chair of the UWC UAE Alumni Chapter in Abu Dhabi, and his mother, Amanda, at the High Tea in Britannia Bay near St Helena Bay. When the Fourie’s (both librarians) were living in Fredericksburg in Virginia in the United States for eight years, they had to juggle two jobs to survive.
“During that time we met amazing people, American and South African, that came to our aid. When I saw how compassionate they are I made a promise to God that if one day
I am in the position to show compassion to others, I’ll do the same by ‘paying it forward’. “The High Tea for Joshua was my last function and I am glad that he can tour overseas. God blessed me to bless others when I was appointed at the New York University Abu Dhabi,” Francis says. She shared the story on the website of the UWC Alumni and immediately received a response. “You know, it is illegal to do fundraising in the UAE and everything that we do, we make sure we have transparency. We decided to donate the money and with the guidance of the South African ambassador in Abu Dhabi, Saad Cachalia, everything that we do is legitimate. “When I approached Amanda about the money she said that they raised R2 000 and together with the R10 000 from the Alumni R12 000 was deposited into the account of the Beacon Hill High School. Before the end of the year the outstanding amount was R10 500 and this amount was raised with the High Tea. His dad’s words are now realized – the God that gave Joshua the opportunity also provided the money,” she says. Global Exploration is a foundation where students travel to other countries and meet other people, other students and explore their cultures. “The part of the tour that I am looking forward to, is to experience the people and cultures in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. We received an itinerary for the 11 days and each day is loaded with specific activities. I’ll attend school with my local host, visit the Dutch dykes and windmills and learn about the Dutch ‘battle’ with the sea and how they conquered the waves,” Joshua says.

Bible for the Deaf opens new world NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk
F
or many the words in the Bible are self-explanatory. Verses like “whoever has ears, let them hear” or “if you declare with your mouth...you will be saved” are so commonplace, many don’t think twice when reading it. For a deaf person this is a completely different experience, says Dr Rocco Hough, who helped put together the English Bible for the Deaf (EBD), which the Bible Society of South Africa released at the end of last year. Hough, who was a reverend at the De la Bat Dutch Reformed Church for the deaf in Bellville for over 30 years, was directly involved with both translations, along with Elmien Roux, a retired teacher who used to work at the De la Bat School for the deaf in Worcester. Helping them were scores of academics and deaf people, making this a translation developed with the deaf, for the deaf. The EBD follows the runaway success of The Afrikaans Bible for the Deaf of 2008 (now also known as the Bible for All), the first Afrikaans Bible for the deaf. The EBD is aimed at people who were born deaf and could not learn a language in an auditory way.
Necessity Hough says he was challenged to do the English translation of the Bible for the Deaf while in Kenya about 11 years ago. A pastor there said they were struggling to understand the English Bible for the Deaf they were using at the time. When he looked at the Bible himself, he saw about 50 words in the first chapter of the Bible that the average
deaf person wouldn’t understand. There was a great need for a text based Bible for the deaf in English, Hough realised. And as he knew only too well from translating the Afrikaans Bible for the Deaf, most of the existing Bible is too difficult for a deaf person to understand. “The mother tongue of the deaf is Sign Language, a very difficult language for hearing people to learn, and likewise, difficult for deaf people to understand written language as we find it in our Bibles.” A hearing impairment normally leads to a language impairment. “Deaf children cannot learn language in a normal way, and in the past deaf children were sent to a school for the deaf at the age of 3 where they had to learn language in a specialised way.” Even though they have normal intelli-
gence, the average reading ability of an adult deaf person is that of an eight-year-old-hearing child. This creates a large barrier when trying to read something like the Bible. Added to this is the fact that the Bible is filled with idioms, which is something that is acquired by speaking a language over time and not something deaf people learn automatically.
Translation The translation of EBD officially started in 2011 and the text was completed after about five years. “After (this) it was tested, the development of all the footnotes and illustrations, the page layout, and then it was printed in China, who has the largest and most modern Bible printing press.” Two source experts Prof Bart Oberholzer
Dr Rocco Hough and his wife Jean. Hough says Jean has been a big help in the process of putting together a more readable Bible for the deaf.

and Prof Hermie van Zyl, helped with this translation. After Oberholzer’s death, Dr Tiana Bosman took over. Hough says this Bible is ideal for groups of people wanting to read an easy translation, like Christians in countries like Pakistan and India. “There is such a big need for a Bible like this and I’m grateful we could finish it,” Hough says. Hannerie Swart, development manager at the National Institute for the Deaf (NID), says it’s special that the deaf can receive the word of God in a way that’s easily understandable. “It supports deaf accessibility and inclusivity.” The Bible is available at Cum Books or at the Bible Society of South Africa.

Vics add to Strandfontein’s misery GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS
N
ewcomers to Western Province Cricket Association’s Premier League, Strandfontein came agonisingly close to recording their first victory of the season when they lost by 11 runs to Victoria Cricket Club on Saturday 18 January. Chasing 173 for victory, the Seasiders were always on the hunt, but lost wickets at crucial times, with Vics off-spinner Robert van der Ross (4/38) doing most of the damage for his team. In the first division A, Primrose, making a strong bid for promotion, posted the highest score of the day (280/8) as they cruised to a bonus-point 121-run win over Tygerberg. For the Roses, Magmoed Petersen (92) was their stand-out performer. In the first division B, Bashier Vallie (61*) piloted log leaders Pinelands to an easy sixwicket win over Bishop Lavis.

Yankees trip up Falcons in clash NOORE NACERODIEN Westridge Yankees beat their arch-rivals 6-2 in their Cape Town Softball Association Super League fixture on Saturday 18 January. The win for Yankees gives Lavender Hill the opportunity to extend their already commanding lead at the top of the Super League standings. Prior to the game, Falcons were two points ahead of Westridge, but Saturday’s result ensured that the Mitchell’s Plainbased outfit overtook their rivals to take second spot in the standings. Natalie Abrahams performed admirably from the pitching mound for Westridge, putting the skids on Falcons’ batting. In the other Super League game, Tantasport would taste defeat at the hands of Glenthorn A’s, going down 7-2. They, along with Heideveld Yankees now languish at the bottom of the table, which puts them in danger of being relegated at the end of the season. Log-leaders Lavender Hill were enjoying a bye this weekend. Results: Super league:
