Coding to upskill learners RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

L

earners in under-resourced communities are being introduced to basic coding in hopes of developing their technological abilities and encouraging them to embrace the fourth industrial revolution (4IR).

Learners from schools in Pelican Park, Steenberg, Lavender Hill, Mitchell’s Plain, Maitland and many more have had the opportunity to interact with DXC Technology, an information technology (IT) solutions provider, who is hoping to ignite a passion for IT in young learners.

According to the IT company: “Industry 4.0, as it is called, connects more devices and machines, creating intelligent networks of ‘things’ that can communicate and cooperate.”

This allows for significant advancement in technology, especially in the fields of IT and robotics, providing jobs and propelling economic growth.

Riyaad Hess from DXC Technology explained what the company aims to achieve through their school-targeted project, during a lesson at Sibelius High School on Thursday 17 October.

“One of the things we’re trying to do is to show kids that there is more to life than becoming a cashier. We can already see the shortages in the (technology) industry.

There are so many vacancies in the industry and they’re high-paying positions as well.

“We try to get kids to think about their careers and what they want to do. This will give them a bit of motivation and show them what they can do,” he said.

Adding to the introductory lessons at the high school was Francois Du Plessis, the owner of Flow Productions Multimedia, who wants children to know that they can escape the social-ills from their community.

“A lack of information is one of the big issues in our communities because there are no choices for our people and no education.

What we are doing is opening the children’s minds to different avenues,” he said.

During the lesson, facilitators take learners through the free programme developed by the MIT Media Lab, Scratch.

Scratch teaches children the basic algorithms of coding and computational think-

Keane Fernandes is a teacher at Sibelius High School who recently did a coding course through Edunova, as part of the Western Cape department of education’s efforts to equip teachers with knowledge of coding.

“The world is technology-driven today.

What we’re going to do is establish a coding club with the Grade 8s and 9s. Hopefully, they can go into that line of work after high school or even come back to the school to help with the programme,” he said.

Making this move towards digital, espe-

cially in under-resourced communities, will be beneficial for the learners in more ways than one.

“We want to help them and keep them off the streets,” Fernandes said, adding that the club will keep the learners out of gangs, away from drugs, stimulate their brains and improve their school marks.

This will not be an easy feat, however.

“They’re seeing something brand new, some of them have never even worked on a computer before. So we’re trying to simplify everything. We introduce concepts of computational thinking by showing them how it’s done in class,” said Hess.

val time experimenting with the programme, Doufieq Abrahams (17), said he had never used a programme like Scratch before. “I’m finding it very interesting. It’s a little bit difficult at the start, but there are tutorials that show you exactly how to do it.”

He said the course has shown him what he may want to explore – a career in IT. DXC Technology hopes to promote science, mathematics, engineering and technology in schools through more collaborative initiatives.

STEENBERG

Kite-maker wants to inspire kids RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes

A

53-year-old Steenberg kite-enthusiast is preparing to show an extra special creation at the 25th Cape Town International Kite Festival, and he encourages children to learn the craft too.

Bobby Gathoo will be taking his signature, traditional, hand-made bamboo kites to the annual festival in Muizenberg on 26 and 27 October; for the 19th time.

His passion for kite-making began at the age of five after finding inspiration from his family and his surroundings. “We grew up in a very poor neighbourhood and to see the beautiful kite creations from more affluent areas nearby – it was always so amazing for me. I couldn’t wait to make my own.”

He built his first kite from a piece of paper (pulled from a school exercise book), three matches and cotton from one of his mother’s reels.

His specialty is traditional, bamboo-frame kites covered with paper, plastic or material; which have won him several awards at the past kite festivals. While he personally prefers traditional kites, he says “there are few craftsmen that have continued making bamboo kites.”

“The other kites that you see are inflatables – there are no rigid spars. The challenge with traditional kites is that they’re not collapsible, and prone to break.”

This, according to him, is just one of the challenges of the craft that allow the craftsmen – starting out as children – to become innovative thinkers.

“It encourages the youngsters to use it as a platform. When you’re younger, you’re more creative and imaginative. It should be introduced more at the schools,” he says,

adding that the sport is still suitable for people of all ages.

He believes the craft is “medicinal and beneficial for your mental health”, because flyers’ are forced to look up, open their chests, take in the fresh air and vitamin D, enhancing their posture which would become poorer by doing activities such as sitting at a computer.

Gathoo is looking forward to the festival as the time of the year brings the fresh wind from the sea to lift his kite in Steenberg and the later sunsets mean more flying time.

He says he would not be able to do it without his wife, Vivian, who brainstorms designs with him and sews the fabrics to the frames.

He is currently creating a mystery kite that hasn’t been seen at any other kite events. “It’s a rush now to get fabric – I’m using rip-stop polyester (parachute kite material),” says Gathoo. He hopes that anyone with spare fabric from kite surfing would be willing to donate to his secretive new design – hopefully, another award winner.

Besides his passion, he does it for the children. “It’s always so rewarding to see the children’s expressions when they look up and see a kite. Here in Steenberg, there’s only about two of us who fly kites. I want to impart what knowledge I have to the next generation.

“I want to leave something wonderful for the next generation, for them to improve and make something more spectacular.”

Event host and beneficiary, non-profit organisation Cape Mental Health, has been using kites to generate funds and raise awareness of mental wellness since 1994. The annual kite festival is the highlight of the annual October Mental Health Month campaign, which this year focuses on suicide

awareness and prevention.

“With self-harm and suicide rates on the rise, we want to share a message of hope and encouragement,” said Dr Ingrid Daniels, director of Cape Mental Health and presidentelect of the World Federation for Mental Health.

“Just as kiters use a line to keep hold of their kites, hope can be the line to life. Sometimes you may find hope inside yourself; at other times it may need to come from a

Capitalising on night-time economy is a priority for local entities.

Night-time economy to grow Efforts to grow the night-time economy (NTE) have been gaining traction in some of the world’s most prominent cities.

The NTE is a catalyst for increasing a city’s attractiveness, developing its cultural offering and creating jobs.

The Sound Diplomacy’s guide to managing cities revealed that the New York NTE contributes US$10 billion to the city’s economy; whereas in Sydney the NTE accounts for approximately 10% to 16% of the central business district employment; while the NTE is worth 6% of the United Kingdom’s gross domestic product or £66 billion annually.

“I am excited to announce that the City of Cape Town is considering the potential opportunities associated with the NTE in Cape Town central and surrounds,” says James Vos, Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management.

The City’s Enterprise and Investment Department, the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the Central City Improvement District (CCID) have formed an NTE working group. The group has been developing and sharing knowledge, which will be used to boost the outlook on the NTE.

A study is being planned to determine the potential economic outputs and job creation opportunities that the NTE offers – both directly and indirectly.

“Depending on the results, my team will develop an action plan for implementation consisting of cross-cutting responsibilities. I am confident that the NTE holds the key to economic growth and employment opportunities. I am excited that Honours students from UCT have been assigned the task of conducting research in this area, supervised by Professor Francois Viruly and Professor Kathy Michell (HOD) from the Urban Real Estate Research Unit. Further research will also be concluded by the City in the 2019/20 financial year,” says Vos. Research conducted in several major cities has revealed the value and NTE economic spinoffs made by restaurants, taxis, hospitality services and entertainment, among others.

“I am also of the view that Cape Town will benefit from this approach as it will diversify leisure and commercial activities, become a source of employment and additional revenue for the city, while boosting tourism,” says Vos.

CITY

Funding for 2020 minstrel events approved T

he City of Cape Town has approved the disbursement of the R4.572 million cash funding to support the upcoming minstrel events.

Additional support of R1.3 million for City services and the waiver of costs for Cityowned venues will form part of the package of support for the associations.

The contribution to minstrel events for the City’s 2019/20 financial year will total R5.872 million. The funding will support six associations to host events, including Tweede Nuwe Jaar, other minstrel competitions and the Malay choir competitions.

After deliberations at the Special Events

Committee (SpevCo) meeting, the City proposed financial support as follows: . Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association Street Parade – R3.2 million; . Kaapse Klopse Karnival Association Competitions – R422 000; . Cape Malay Choir Board Road March – R1.1 million; . Cape Malay Choir Board Competitions – R300 000; . SA United Christmas Bands Board Road March – R250 000; . SA United Christmas Bands Board Competitions – R200 000; . Cape District Minstrel Board Competi-

tions – R200 000; . Keep the Dream Competitions – R200 000 “The Minstrels, Christmas Bands and Malay Choir events have important cultural significance to the troupes, their families, communities and to the history of Cape Town.

“The City has been supporting them for a number of years to maintain the rich heritage and to expose the culture to a global stage within a safe environment,” said the City’s Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith.

“This funding is an indication of the City’s commitment to supporting this annual tra-

dition that continues to resonate with families and communities across Cape Town as thousands of people, including tourists, fill the streets to watch the colourful and entertaining marches.”

All requests for funding were received through the City of Cape Town’s event support application system and were considered by SpevCo within their delegations of recommendations to the executive mayor.

The City took into account the Constitution, the Municipal Finance Management Act, the Prevention of Organised Crime Act, the City’s Credit Control and Debt Collection Policy, and more on review of applications.

Parklife music festival fever hits the city P

arklife: Music in the Park Festival returns for its fourth edition, which will be held at the Muizenberg Park in Cape Town on Sunday 1 December.

The festival welcomes the city’s music and foodloving festival-goers for a Sunday in the park with some of the country’s top musicians.

Modern folk hit-maker Jeremy Loops, indie-folk sensation Matthew Mole, Cape Town’s talented Sean Koch, and musos Diamond Thug – and all the way from down under, Australia’s indie-folk band Sons of East will perform.

In May Sons of East released their third studio EP Burn Right Through, featuring singles “Nothing Comes Easy”, “Silver Lining” and “It Must Be Luck”, along with a collection of new songs that further the

band’s modern, indie-folk sound.

Loops will be warming up before the festival with his headlining United Kingdom (UK) performances at the O2 Academy Brixton in November.

The festival has cemented itself as Cape Town’s ultimate live music and food festival, and it promises not to disappoint.

Festival-goers are welcome to bring blankets and camping chairs, and there will be a designated area for umbrellas.

Parklife is the perfect day out for the entire family and a relaxed way to kick off the holiday in the Mother City.

Tickets are on sale now at R295 for adults and R195 for youth under 18.

V Tickets are available from https://breakout.howler.co.za/ parklifecpt.

Matthew Mole is once again a headlining act at Parklife in Muizenberg later this year.

the month of August, Zwaanswyk High School’s Learner Leader Election Campaign was launched and finalised.

Learners willing to stand to be recognised as elected members of the Representative Council of Learners (RCL) produced manifestos that they displayed around the school, and produced speeches before the voting process began. Zwaanswyk High School is very proud to announce that their executive committee of the RCL are: in the back row (from left): Leah Webber (head of the discipline pillar); Phamudi Masulela (head of the service pillar); Shandre Otto (principal); Dale Snell (head of the academic Pillar); Ayabonga Faku (head of the extra-mural pillar). In the front row: heads of school; Namhla Gwayana (deputy chair of the 2019/2020 RCL) and Brent Hendricks (head of school).

Four arrested in Lavender Hill Police from the anti-gang unit (AGU) embarked on an intelligenceled operation on Friday 4 October in Lavender Hill, where they seized four firearms as well as rounds of ammunition.

The first arrest took place at a house in Botha Street. Armed with information, officers arrested a 51-

year-old woman and seized a 9mm pistol with rounds of ammunition.

Shortly thereafter, in Grindle Avenue, a 31-year-old man was arrested with another 9mm pistol and ammunition.

More information led the team to the third location, also in Grindle Avenue, where they found a .38 spe-

cial revolver with ammunition and arrested a 45-year-old man.

Information from this operation, led the AGU to De Waal Court where an 18-year-old man was found in possession of another 9mm pistol and ammunition.

All four arrested suspects are believed to be linked to a local gang.

The event will give car enthusiasts an opportunity to ride along as the drivers of the E36 Cup throw their BMW 3 Series racers sideways on the Extreme Arena.

The E36 is the third-generation BMW 3 Series, built from 1990 to 2000; immensely popular in South Africa to this day, it’s regarded as one of the best-balanced and most ‘chuckable’ sports sedans ever offered to local petrol-heads. Powered by a screaming three-litre straight six, it’s a popular basis for rallycross and drifting specials.

Local groups at the E36 Cup race these models in main circuit races or rallycross, and they’ll have about 10 cars on parade at the Killarney Motor Show on Sunday 27 October, ready to give you the ride of your life.

The cars are modified for racing with very short gearing so, although their top speed is only around 185km/h, their acceleration is electrifying – and will be even more so in the tight confines of the Extreme Arena.

To be part of the action will cost you R200 for five intense laps; the ride is open to all adults and children who are tall enough to see over the dashboard when strapped in.

The E36 crew will provide you with a crash helmet and strap you in for the slide of your life.

Book at the E36 pits at the end of the main straight, where the dragstrip crosses the Kfm Straight. You won’t have to wait there for your turn – the crew will tell you exactly when your ride is scheduled, so you can go off and enjoy the Killarney Motor Show until then.

That includes a full Tar Oval Racing event; you’ll get to see them at no extra cost at the biggest, most hands-on motor show in the Western Cape, open from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

This year’s show will feature no less than four active circuits, starting with the Tar Oval, where the ‘Stockies’ will be in action all day. Next door to that is the Extreme Arena, where you’ll experience non-stop entertainment including the E36 Passenger Rides, stunts, drifting, burnouts, classic motorcycle and even vintage tractor parades and tug-

o-war contests.

There will be public karting on the ‘K’ circuit, while the new car dealers have their own dedicated test drive circuit for the first time, offering test drives on the latest models all day. Dakar Rally hero Kobus Potgieter will be running a round of the Western Cape Foot-Up Trials championship over all sorts of natural obstacles on the back straight, while international stunt stars the Le Riche brothers will amaze you with impossible stunts on two wheels, including riding almost four metres straight up the side of a truck!

All of this in a new, more accessible layout that includes an entirely new category of ex-

Thistle slip up against Pirates SEAN CAMPBELL With the lead changing hands on a few occasions, Thistle Baseball Club let go of a 10-7 lead after five innings, to allow Helderberg Pirates to snatch a 11-10 victory in their Cape Town Baseball Federation Promotion League clash at the Ottery Baseball Fields on Saturday 19 October.

In Bothasig, at the Abe Sher Sports fields,

a grand slam from national team catcher Kyle Botha in the bottom of the seventh innings secured Bothasig Knights a 7-1 victory over Bellville Tygers.

hibitors and fascinating new displays, live music and a fun fair in the pits paddock offering exciting rides for children of all ages and more than 100 stalls selling just about anything you can think of for your car – and your tummy, with a huge variety of watering holes serving ice-cold drinks, sit-down eateries and takeaway vendors.

But it’s really all about the cars, trucks and motorcycles, with close to 1 300 vehicles on show, including new models not seen before in the Western Cape (some of which you’ll actually get the chance to drive on the Test Circuit), classic and exotic cars bearing names such as Porsche, Jaguar and Alfa Romeo from 1902 to the 1980s, and powerful rac-

ing cars and bikes. The Streetcar Show on the Porsche Club Straight will feature cars of all types and sizes, customised inside and out and modified as only the Mother City’s petrol-heads can do it, into ‘hot rods’, American-style muscle-cars and ‘stance cars’ lowered to within millimetres of the tar.

Nearly all of the vehicles on show are driven to Killarney; that’s what the biggest motor show in the Western Cape is all about.

It’s for real – and you’re invited!
