Vroeër skool toe ‘omdat ons wil’
Market held at Cuyler Manor HEILIE COMBRINCK Women in Business has taken the initiative in support of local businesses to commence with a monthly market called The Uitenhage Market to be held at Cuyler Manor.
<Bulelwa Jack, departe mentshoof en bedryfson derwyser van die Solomon Mahlangu High School in KwaNobuhle, het ’n week vroeër skool toe gegaan om ywerige matrikulante soos Sinesipho Mdashe (middel) en Vuyo Mkhah luli (regs) met hul matriekvoorsprongklasse te help.

ister was dit terug hok toe vir skoolkinders, maar in KwaNobuhle het 80 matrieks én hul onderwysers vroeër met die nuwe skooljaar begin. Die ses onderwysers van die Solomon Mahlangu High School, wat al op 6 Januarie voor die matriekklasse gaan staan het, verdien geen sent vir die ekstra werk nie. “Hierdie diens wat ons lewer, kom uit die hart. Dit gaan nie oor geld nie,” het Mlungwana Stokwe verduidelik. Bulelwa Jack glo die leerders sal harder werk as hulle sien die onderwysers doen dit. In 2012 was dié skool se slaagsyfer 29%. In 2013 het dit na 47,4% gestyg. Die mikpunt is om ’n matriekslaagsyfer van bo 50% op te lewer.
ek van die idee gehou. Toe stem ek in. “Ek is gek oor wat hulle doen. Dis belangrik. Die onderwysers is baie toegewyd, iets wat nie dikwels by township-skole te sien is nie.” Die voorsprongklasse was van 08:00 tot 12:00. As daar haakplekke was, kon die leerders terugkom vir verdere bystand. “Ons moes hulle om 12:00 laat huis toe gaan, want ons het vergeet om die skool se voedingskema in te lig dat ons ’n week vroeër begin,” het Mtengwana gesê. Intussen het Solomon Mahlangu se 80 matrieks reeds talle handboeke en ou matriekvraestelle gekry sodat hulle vroeg genoeg uit die wegspringblokke kan kom. “Met dié klein voorsprong sal ons ten minste ’n week se ekstra leertyd vir die Junie-eksamen hê,” het Mtengwana bygevoeg.
“Om só iets te bereik, moet ons die leerders bystaan,” het Mncedi Mtengwana, skoolhoof, gesê. “Die skool is in ’n arm gebied. Dus is toegang tot goeie inligtingsbronne en buitemuurse akademiese bystand beperk.” In dié matrieks se gr. 11-jaar is wiskunde, wetenskap en rekeningkunde reeds as die “probleemvakke” geïdentifiseer. Dít het Mtengwana finaal op ’n vroeër 2014-matriek ter wille van “voorsprong-klasse” laat besluit – ná ’n vergadering met die leerders, hul ouers en die onderwysers. Dit het ’n bietjie werk gekos om sommige ouers van die voordele hiervan te oortuig. Nonzaliseko Zekani, een van die gr. 12-leerders se ouers, erken sy was eers skepties. “Aanvanklik was ek nie seker nie, maar hoe meer ek daaroor gedink het, hoe meer het

“We strongly encourage the local community to support our market. This local market initiative was the brainchild of Women In Business to support local businesses by giving them a platform, thereby helping the smaller businesses to get more exposure and up their sales without having high overheads,” said Lilly de Jongh from Women in Business. Established businesses are also welcome to rent a stand at the market for general marketing purposes. “As a result of its rapid growth and the limitation of certain stalls we have decided to change the venue. “It will be held in the outdoors at the country style Cuyler Manor on the outskirts of Uitenhage where the annual Prickly Pear Festival once was held,” said De Jongh. The first Uitenhage Market will be held at Cuyler Manor on Sunday, February 2. There is limited space available for stalls and bookings can be made by contacting the persons mentioned below. Stalls The following stalls are welcome: home industries, clothing, food and beverages, second hand items, fresh produce, handmade arts and crafts, jewellery, antiques and garden centres. The cost per stall is R25 (open stand on blanket), R50 (own gazebo or tent), R90 (under cover). )For more information contact Lilly 0076 345 9935 or Angie 0073 982 2628 or wibsouthafrica@gmail.com
