DEBATE COMPETITION: LEARNERS OFF TO JOHANNESBURG

ASTRID FEBRUARIE
@astridfebruarie
F
ive learners from Cravenby Combined
School in Elsies River are to represent
the province at the SouthAfricanAgen-
cy for Science Technology Achievement
School Debates Competition.
The competition will take place in Johan-
nesburg in the next two weeks.
This after the learners which include Na-
beelaGaffor, JoyDavids,Gabriella Samuels,
Tabriz Kabulo and Plamedi and Ngalula
came out on top in the provincial rounds last
week.
Extremely proud
Donovan Fortuin, the mentor and physics
andmathematics teacher who helped to pre-
pare the learners, sayshe is extremelyproud
of their achievement.
Capable of anything
This is the first time that the school has
ever participated in this competition and to
come out on top is rewarding. It truly shows
that the learners are capable of anything
they put their mind too, he says.
Fortuin says as the school focuses onphys-
ics and mathematics, this gave them the ad-
vantage when it came to debating as they al-
ready have the knowledge.
Our recipe for success was to work as a
team and prepare ourselves every day by
providing extra classes to the learners after
school. We also ensured that we were going
to enter this competition to not only test our
knowledge but to have fun throughout, For-
tuin says.

According to the agency the primary objec-
tive of the National Schools Debates is to
stimulate interest among learners to study
towards careers in science, engineering
and technology (SET) through researching
and debating high-level topics.
The competition aims to advance the pub-
lic awareness, appreciation and engage-
ment of Science, Technology and Engineer-
ing in South Africa.

T
he construction of Cher Bothas
new school in Meerlust Street,
Oak Glen, Bellville, is progress-
ing well with most of the earthmoving
having been completed and the laying
of foundations now in progress.
The completion date for the project
is April 2017 and the school is hoping
to move in during July next year.
Nick Davies, the chairman of the
Project SteeringCommittee, is thrilled
with the progress. As a parent and a
member of the Cher Botha SGB I can-
not tell youhowhappywe all are about
Cher Bothas new home. Our educa-
tors have really been battling to run a
school on three different remote sites.
To have a single locationwherewe can
all be together in a custom designed
school with the correct facilities is in-
credibly exciting. To have been given
this beautiful site in such a lovely and
friendly suburb is the cherry on top.
Our children are going to love it here.
He went on to say how grateful Cher
Botha is to their new neighbours who
have had to put up with a lot of incon-
venience in the early stages of the con-
struction.
The heavymachinery and the sand
have made life quite unpleasant for
our neighbours and we would like to
thank them for their patience and un-
derstanding.
One positive aspect of the construc-
tion work is that the contractors are
required to use a certain percentage of
the local labour force and anyone in-
terested in working on the project
should get in touch with Coenie Lour-
ens, the community liaison officer.

says paramedics, Life Healthcare, Metro
and other services attended to the incident.
Upon arrival on the scene it was found
that the car had rolled. The occupants were
trapped in the vehicle, Bodasing says.
Fire and Rescue used the Jaws of Life to
extricate them.
Bodasing says sadly a woman and two
men succumbed to their injuries. One man
whowas injuredwas treated and transport-
ed to hospital for further medical care.
The exact cause of the incident is un-
known. Authorities were on scene for fur-
ther investigation.

T
he construction of Cher Bothas
new school in Meerlust Street,
Oak Glen, Bellville, is progress-
ing well with most of the earthmoving
having been completed and the laying
of foundations now in progress.
The completion date for the project
is April 2017 and the school is hoping
to move in during July next year.
Nick Davies, the chairman of the
Project SteeringCommittee, is thrilled
with the progress. As a parent and a
member of the Cher Botha SGB I can-
not tell youhowhappywe all are about
Cher Bothas new home. Our educa-
tors have really been battling to run a
school on three different remote sites.
To have a single locationwherewe can
all be together in a custom designed
school with the correct facilities is in-
credibly exciting. To have been given
this beautiful site in such a lovely and
friendly suburb is the cherry on top.
Our children are going to love it here.
He went on to say how grateful Cher
Botha is to their new neighbours who
have had to put up with a lot of incon-
venience in the early stages of the con-
struction.
The heavymachinery and the sand
have made life quite unpleasant for
our neighbours and we would like to
thank them for their patience and un-
derstanding.
One positive aspect of the construc-
tion work is that the contractors are
required to use a certain percentage of
the local labour force and anyone in-
terested in working on the project
should get in touch with Coenie Lour-
ens, the community liaison officer.

the process of registering her very own pub-
lic benefit organisation.

nisation, theGift of Love foundation, bypro-

or a lack of formal education skills, she
says.
Muller aims is to provide various services
from a meal to those who are struggling to
make endsmeet, especially children, and an
educational benefit, to running various
campaigns at schools.
I do not want to provide hand-outs. I
want those who seek my services to come
with an open mind and be prepared to put
theirminds towork. It is about changing the
mindset, providing an extra learning space,
and helping people with the simple task of
putting a CV together or applying for a job,
Muller says.
She is looking for premises to start up her
organisation where she can have a base to
run it from.
I would like to establish the foundation
in a central location to ensure that anyone
can access the services not only those in
Bishop Lavis, she says.
She also hopes to provide job opportuni-
ties to people from her community who are
willing to put in the extra hours.
I am always looking for ways to help oth-
ers develop and I am willing to share my
knowledge and skillswith thosewho ask for
assistance, Muller says.

sorswhocan supporther organisation inor-
der for her to provide the services she has
set out for her foundation.

E
lsies River Library hosted
their annual reading competi-
tion last week with learners
from several schools in the com-
munity participating.
The Grade 7 learners from Nor-
wood, Elnor, Balvenie and Craven-
by primary schools were invited to
show off their reading and spelling
skills.
Thewinners of the local competi-
tion will participate in the District
5 reading competition at ParowLi-
brary later this month.
TheDistrict 5 libraries consist of
Adriaanse, ElsiesRiver, Leonsdale
and Ravensmead libraries.
Julian Schroeder, senior librari-
an at Elsies River, says the aim of
the competition is to have awinner
for each of the three languages
English, Afrikaans and Xhosa
and as the District 5 grade 7 Read-
er of the Year.
The competition also aims to es-
tablish better relationships with
schools and to raise the awareness
of reading among teachers and
learners, says Schroeder.
The competition is aimed at
Grade 7 learners as they have
reached a cognitive level where
language and concentration skills
should be well developed.
This agegroup is alsobest suita-
ble to take part in a reading compe-
tition. In addition these learners
are also at the crucial stage of exit-
ing the primary level of education
and entering the secondary level,
and reading plays an integrated
part in this transition period, he
says.
The participants are expected to
read a part of a book or article to
the best of their ability. All three
languageswill be considered in the
final round. Each participant will
be judged on the following princi-
ples: reading fluently and correct,
comprehension, spelling, presen-
tation and speed.
Learners should be encouraged
to join the library. Those with
membership cards should make
good use of the library in prepara-
tion of being the best reader to rep-
resent their school at the local li-
brary round, he says.
Schroeder says they encourage
school rounds to be held at schools
as to involve all grade sevens to
borrow books from their local li-
braries in preparation to be the
best reader at their library.

sueel gemolesteer en 134 is mishandel.

elft residents are using technology to
their advantage through a new mo-
bile application developed and de-
signed by ZoeAcademy of Skills which ena-
bles transactions to be done without the ex-
change of cash.
Pastor Charles George of Zoe Academy of
Skills explains that through the mobile ap-
plication, called the Jam4All Lifestyle Ap-
plication, residents can access the wi-fi set
up by the ministry and use the services on
the application absolutely free.
They can download the mobile applica-
tion and use the services, which include the
jamchat and jam jar (e-wallet). This enables
the phone user to transfer money or to chat
on the phone while in the wi-fi zone, but
once they leave the area their cellphone da-
ta need to be activated to use the applica-
tion, he says.
The e-wallet can also beused to earn cash-
back at local retailers connected to the ap-
plication. This means that when someone
purchases a product at a store connected to
the application, no cash transfer occurs.
The customer simply receives a codewhich
they punch into their phone which will
transfer the owed amount to the retail own-
er, Charles explains.
He says that the resident has to purchase
the points at the ministry offices and it is
then loaded onto the customers phone.
We want to create a certain lifestyle in
our community through the use of this spe-
cial application to ensure that residents
support each other and encourage support
of local businesses, thereby reducing the
use of cash in the communitys environ-
ment, Charles says.
The application also has a loyalty pro-
grammewhere the local business gives loy-
alty rewards to the community and commu-
nity members in return for support.
This shows the community they care
and are involved in the community and as
many businesses want to offer rewards but
struggle with the admin of tracking, calcu-
lating and paying rewards, this application
provides a simple solution, he says.
Charles says their aim is to enable its sub-
scribers to save money on communication
costs and earn meaningful rewards from
participating businesses for their commu-
nities and themselves by consciously di-
recting their spending power to participat-
ing businesses. Download the Jam4All ap-
plication on your cellphones play store.

Considering the challenges faced by the
youth of today, it is no easy task to pro-
tect a child.
With child protectionweek underway,
rescue service ER24 shared valuable ad-
vice on what parents can do to ensure
their child or childrens safety.
First and foremost, get to know your
children. A close relationship or bond
with them will help you determine if
anything is wrong. Let them know they
can come to you should they need help,
says spokesperson Chitra Bodasing.
Educate your children about the dan-
gers they face and openly discuss topics
likedruguse, alcohol abuse, sexandpeer
pressure. If need be, seek help from pro-
fessionals.
Abuse, sexual assault, abduction and
violence are real challenges faced by
youth today.Therefore youhave to teach
your children not to go anywhere alone,
never to go to secluded areas or any-
where with a stranger, she says.
Even if approached by someone they
know, they should obtain your permis-
sion first before going anywhere with
that person. Inform them that should
they feel unsafe around someone, they
should try to run away and scream to get
the attention of other people whomay be
around them.
She reminds parents to always set a
good example for their children.
A home is a place where a child
should feel safe and loved. Ensure a
healthy family environment. Remember
that children watch you.
It is crucial to never leave children un-
attended or in an unsafe environment.
If your children are left in the care of
someone else while you are at work, for
example, ensure the person can be trust-
ed. If in doubt, find an alternative. Also,
ensure your children know their names,
your name and who to contact in case of
an emergency when they are of a young
age, she says.
Teach children about the use of social
media, the internet and cellular phones.
They should be made aware of the dan-
gers and rules should be put in place to
prevent them being exposed to preda-
tors.
Bodasing says its important not to be
overprotective as long as reasonable
rules are in place.
Pay attention to them, listen to them,
spend timewith them and let themknow
that you care.Be involved inyour childs
life. Findoutwhat their interests are and
support them where necessary. Remem-
ber that your child and their well-being
is your number one priority.
Easy guide to keep
children safe

Considering the challenges faced by the
youth of today, it is no easy task to pro-
tect a child.
With child protectionweek underway,
rescue service ER24 shared valuable ad-
vice on what parents can do to ensure
their child or childrens safety.
First and foremost, get to know your
children. A close relationship or bond
with them will help you determine if
anything is wrong. Let them know they
can come to you should they need help,
says spokesperson Chitra Bodasing.
Educate your children about the dan-
gers they face and openly discuss topics
likedruguse, alcohol abuse, sexandpeer
pressure. If need be, seek help from pro-
fessionals.
Abuse, sexual assault, abduction and
violence are real challenges faced by
youth today.Therefore youhave to teach
your children not to go anywhere alone,
never to go to secluded areas or any-
where with a stranger, she says.
Even if approached by someone they
know, they should obtain your permis-
sion first before going anywhere with
that person. Inform them that should
they feel unsafe around someone, they
should try to run away and scream to get
the attention of other people whomay be
around them.
She reminds parents to always set a
good example for their children.
A home is a place where a child
should feel safe and loved. Ensure a
healthy family environment. Remember
that children watch you.
It is crucial to never leave children un-
attended or in an unsafe environment.
If your children are left in the care of
someone else while you are at work, for
example, ensure the person can be trust-
ed. If in doubt, find an alternative. Also,
ensure your children know their names,
your name and who to contact in case of
an emergency when they are of a young
age, she says.
Teach children about the use of social
media, the internet and cellular phones.
They should be made aware of the dan-
gers and rules should be put in place to
prevent them being exposed to preda-
tors.
Bodasing says its important not to be
overprotective as long as reasonable
rules are in place.
Pay attention to them, listen to them,
spend timewith them and let themknow
that you care.Be involved inyour childs
life. Findoutwhat their interests are and
support them where necessary. Remem-
ber that your child and their well-being
is your number one priority.
