BACK TO SCHOOL

Tears, smiles at schools THULANI MAGAZI

They struggled to adjust to their new surroundings. Lavuya Rayi (5), a Grade R learner from Nyanga, found the new environment unbearable. “Mommy, mommy, mommy,” he cried frantically, and continued crying long after his parents had left. But for some of his peers, it was a day to remember as they continued with classes without fear. Parent Thandazile Wopula from Mitchell’s Plain said she decided to enrol her two kids, one in Grade R and another in Grade 2, at the school after receiving a “good recommendation”. “We are just very happy with the school,” said Wopula. “We also wanted our kids to be together. It is now going to be very easy for me because I also work here in town.

s the new academic year shifts forward, overcrowding at schools across the province remains one of the biggest challenges facing the Western Cape Education Department (WCED). More than 1 million learners returned to school with around 107 000 of these starting Grade 1. This is an increase from 104 336 learners in 2019. Starting high school, a projected 93 000 learners are joining Grade 8, a significant increase from 85 771 Grade 8s in 2019. Included in the total is also 69 400 Grade R learners. Debbie Schäfer, provincial education minAnothando Nogaga ister, says scores of learners are yet to be cries uncontrolably. placed at schools. She was addressing the media on the first day of school (Wednesday 15 January) at St Mary’s Primary School, in the CBD. However, she was quick to point out that officials from her department are working hard to place all the learners. “We are doing absolutely everything we can to still place learners who haven’t been placed, but our class sizes are increasing because we are not able to afford to pay for extra teachers that we desperately need,” says Schäfer. She attributed the challenges to “predominantly budget or lack thereof”. Her sentiments were shared by school principal Fiona Sellar. She said there had been a steady increase in the number of learners per grade at St Mary’s. She said for the current academic year the school has a total of 302 learners, up from about 270 in 2019. “We had a good influx of learners. Our classes are now at 40 to one, whereas some of them use to be 35 to one,” said Sellar. “Even our Grade R class is bigger this year than normal.” As for the learners, it was a day filled with mixed emotions. While others celebrated the first day of Schäfer addresses monitors Likhona Mgidi, headboy Pablo Burger and Mihali Mali. school, it was a day to forget for some. THULANI MAGAZI

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.

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 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). Since its founding in 2010, the Cape Town Carnival has built up a following locally and abroad. In March last year, the annual event

attracted 51 000 people, with people coming from all walks of life, areas and communities. The free-to-watch public spectacle is preceded by a year-round community-driven programme rolled out across the Cape met-

ropole. 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.

Bible for the Deaf opens new world NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

or many the words in the Bible are selfexplanatory. 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.

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 intelligence, the average reading ability of an adult deaf person is that of an eight-yearold-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 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.

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.” Dr Rocco Hough and his wife Jean. Hough says Jean has been a big A hearing impair- help in the process of putting together a more readable Bible for ment normally leads the deaf.

Another meeting for BaAr Residents from Mitchell’s Plain, Khayelitsha, Nomzamo and Mfuleni are called to meetings about development priorities. The City of Cape Town will be hosting additional meetings with these communities about the review of the spatial development frameworks (SDFs) for the Mitchell’s Plain, Khayelitsha and Helderberg planning districts. At the meetings, residents will have another opportunity to engage with City officials about their challenges, needs, and priorities insofar as it relates to planning in their local areas. Officials will also explain to residents the process to prepare the SDFs and how this will affect local developments in these planning districts. Residents, interest groups, and stakeholders are encouraged to attend one of the meetings to learn more about the initiative. The Mitchell’s Plain meeting will take place tomorrow, Wednesday 22 January at the Lentegeur civic centre from 19:00 to 20:30. “We hosted nearly 30 meetings across Cape Town in November and December last year and involved as many residents as possible to help us identify the challenges, needs and priorities in their areas. During this first round the communities from Mitchell’s Plain, Khayelitsha, Mfuleni and Nomzamo asked for another opportunity to participate in this process. I am encouraging residents to please attend these meetings as they have a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience of the areas they live in,” says Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Marian Nieuwoudt. The City is in the process of updating the spatial development frameworks (SDFs) for the eight planning districts with the latest information about the state of the population, employment levels and income; the state of the urban and natural environment and heritage; state of development; the supply of and demand for housing; local economy; property market; as well as current services and infra-

structure. All of this information is included in a Baseline and Analysis Report (BaAR) for each district, inclusive of the challenges, needs and opportunities on a local planning level. The BaAR documents are available on the City’s website and residents can submit their comments until Friday 31 January. The review of the district SDFs will be based on the BaARs and the inputs received for the respective districts. It is also important for the City and residents to consider the current situation in each planning district before we embark on a review of proposals and guidelines of the respective district SDFs. The district SDFs will be finalised during further rounds of public participation. These will deal with the concepts and the final proposals. ‘The SDFs will be the City’s response to manage urban growth on a district level and in a manner that is sustainable, resilient, and equitable. It will determine how we should intervene on a local planning level to mitigate against constraints, and to enhance opportunities that will improve residents’ quality of living. ‘The plans will focus on the nature and location of development on a local level to promote economic growth and job creation. It will guide the City’s decisions on how and where the private sector and public sector can and should pursue development; how land should be used; and where we should protect our natural environment and resources to become more resilient to climate change and other shocks, prevent urban sprawl, but also ensure that we direct our resources to vulnerable communities,” says Nieuwoudt. Once approved by the City council, the district SDFs will guide decisions about developments, land uses, and interventions to create integrated communities.

BEACON VALLEY

High Tea raises enough tour money AVRIL FILLIES

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.

Man arrested for drugs Police have arrested a 40-year-old man following a drug find on Monday 13 January at 16:00 in Beacon Valley. Officers attached to the Mitchell’s Plain crime prevention unit were on patrol when they received a tip off about drugs being sold from a house in Korfbal Street.

Police followed up on information and searched the house. Officers found 50 units of heroin wrapped in a plastic bag. The man was arrested and faces a charge of possession of heroin and has since appeared in court.

Apply to join junior council The application process for the Junior City Council (JCC) 2020/2021 is open and all schools within the City of Cape Town are invited to apply. The JCC aims to expose high school students to the workings of the City council. The junior council’s term runs for two years. The JCC is a non-political programme that aims to foster a sense of civic responsibility among the youth. It will also help to develop young people’s skills and self-image so that they become confident in their abilities to bring about change. Local schools are invited to nominate learners to participate in the programme. Carl Pophaim, JCC custodian, said the

following requirements should be met: . Learners must be in Grade 9/10 in 2020 . Two learners per high school will qualify to participate . Schools must nominate learners and provide a motivation as to why a specific learner is nominated . Learners must be able to commit to at least one Saturday a month for junior council activities Interested schools can email: Junior.CityCouncil@capetown.gov.za to request an application form. Further information is available on the JCC Facebook page – Cape Town Junior City Council. The deadline for applications is Friday 14 February 2020, at 16:00.

here has been a steady growth in the occurrence of backyard dwellings on publicallyand privately-owned land over the last decade due to increased urbanisation across South Africa. But due to the fact that almost 70% of informal backyarders in the metro they are not formally registered on the City of Cape Town’s database, they are not eligible for a housing opportunities such subsidised housing, The City encourages backyard dwellers to register on the database. ‘The great need for affordable housing and services in and near urban centres especially means that we must ensure that we work in a planned, systematic and fair manner. It is really important for backyard dwellers to apply to register on the housing database. Backyarders who are not registered on the database cannot be considered for housing opportunities created for them by the City and Western Cape government. All qualifying beneficiaries and especially backyard dwellers must therefore please ensure that they are registered on the database and that their details are correct and up to date,” says Mayco member for human settlements, Malusi Booi. “We also continue to focus on enhanced service delivery especially to backyarders residing on council-owned properties. Cape Town was the first city in South Africa to introduce basic services to backyarders residing on council-owned properties.” The backyarder programme started in 2014 and entails the provision of one-to-one water, refuse and electricity services to backyarders residing on council-owned property, such as rental units. “The Municipal Finance Management Act determines that public money may

not be used for enhancing private properties. Therefore, much work still needs to be done to see how backyarder services will be rolled out to those residing on private properties within the framework of the law,” says Booi. Urbanisation is not a municipal challenge alone, he adds. “All tiers of government, the private sector and civic organisations, must work together and ensure that we are ahead of the curve with our plans to address rapid urbanisation. We must bring our communities on board with the alternatives on offer.” Beneficiaries who qualify for government housing should also not pay anyone to be placed on the housing database nor should they pay money to receive their state-subsidised property. All costs are carried by government. Qualifying beneficiaries who pay to ‘register’ on the database or pay money for their subsidised house or serviced site are being scammed. Applicants can register: . on the housing database online . at your nearest City housing office . at the MyEstate mobile office when it comes to your area . at Parow Walk-in Centre or Wale Street Walk-in Centre Applicants will need to submit: . a certified copy of your ID and spouse’s ID, if applicable . a completed housing assistance form . certified copies of your children’s birth certificates, if applicable . certified copies of marriage or divorce certificates if applicable . details of special needs within the household if applicable, and supporting documents . proof of address.

Celebrating 40 years of magic The College of Magic will celebrate its 40th anniversary by welcoming a new generation of aspiring magicians on Saturday 1 February. Magic fanatics are invited to attend the beginner’s Course One at the College’s Victorian manor at 215 Imam Haron Road in Claremont every Saturday. Course One explores the world of magic through a 15-week diploma course which includes rope magic, card tricks and coin effects as well as an introduction to the allied arts, namely juggling, mime, clowning and puppetry. The College of Magic first welcomed students on 23 February 1980. This year marks 40 years of teaching the art of magic and its allied arts, as well as life-skills to children and adults. Graduates of the institution include comedians Riaad Moosa, Stuart Taylor and Conrad Koch, actor Francis Chouler and film director Jenna Cato Bass, as well as South Afri-

can Magic Champion Olwethu Dyantyi. Founder and director David Gore is excited to welcome the next generation of magical students. “We are thrilled to kick-start our milestone year by introducing these youngsters to the world of magic and showmanship. We’ve seen first-hand the positive changes that learning the art of magic has had on thousands of students. “The improvement of their confidence levels and social skills is amazing to see, and we cannot wait to share this with our 2020 aspiring magicians.” The entry-level Course One is suitable for learners aged 10 to 13 years old. It will run each Saturday for six months from Saturday 1 February with classes at 09:00 and at 12:00. Fees are R3 200.

Vics add to Strandfontein’s misery GOOSAIN ABRAHAMS

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:
