PINELANDS

Empowering principalsGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

An organisation is growing powerfulpartnerships between school princi-pals and business leaders to boost edu-

cation across all sectors.Partners forPossibility (PfP) is the organi-

sation fostering these partnerships and theyhostedagathering inPinelands lastweek forschools andbusiness leaders fromacross thepeninsula.Gail McMillan, regional manager in the

Western Cape, is one of the facilitators fromPfP who explains how the project aims to bea creative solution to South Africa’ educa-tion crisis.

“Through our research and current part-nerships we have realised that this co-learn-ing partnership between principals andbusiness leaders enables social cohesionthrough partnerships, and empowers prin-cipals to become change leaders in theirschools and communities,” she says.“PfP is the flagship programme of Sym-

phonia for South Africa a national NPO andPBO, based in Bellville, with a bold and au-dacious vision to ensure quality educationfor all children in South Africa by 2025.“It was founded in 2010 when Louise van

Rhyn (director and founder), became thefirst business leader topartnerwithaprinci-pal in an effort to improve a school’s educa-tion outcomes.

“Our initiative speaks to the idea that en-hancing the quality of education, improvingthe school environment andencouraging en-gagement between parents and teachers aremeaningful and attainable goals that wouldprovide an upward spiral of real change insociety. By placing the school at the centreof community we believe that a radicaltransformation can be achieved in the edu-cation sector.”Last year the organisation launched a

book written by Mandy Collins that chroni-cled the story of the community buildingprocess so far and how it leadership projecthas the potential to change and empower ed-ucation in South Africa.The book details its beginnings at Kanne-

meyer School in Grassy Park when VanRhynapproachedprincipalRidwanSamodi-en with the idea of partnering to improveconditions for learners.At present that partnership is still flour-

ishing and the model has spread to morethan 200 schools across the country.The book details ten partnerships that

have made a major difference to schools.At The Valley Primary in Durbanville,

principal Priscilla August partnered withAnsonette van der Merwe of Capespan, afruit export company.The school facedprob-lems that included poor parent and commu-nity involvement, poor pupil discipline andunmotivated staff.V Continued on page 3

From Silvertownto silver screenEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

Julian Cleophas has lived most of his lifein Silvertown, but due to a series ofevents, now has a vested interest in the sil-ver screen.Silvertown became his home after living

in Kuils River for the first five years of hislife.After journeying through Turfhall Pri-

mary School and Belgravia High School, heeventually ended up studying a B.Sc courseat the University of the Western Cape.However, his path would take a dramatic

turn after enrolling at the Raymond Acker-manAcademy (facilitated by theUCTGrad-uate School of Business) where he studiedentrepreneurship. While there, Cleophaswas introduced to the world of modelling,which afforded him the opportunity to trav-el the world while participating in variousfashion campaigns. The environmentopened up the door for him to pursue a ca-reer in filmandproduction.He still pursuedalternative career paths while modelling.“After the entrepreneurship, I was pursu-

ing an educational initiative called i-Wizzkidswhichwas a concept Iwas pushing thatwas focused on an incentive-based onlineeducational platform for high school stu-dents to find educational resources and pro-vide them with a social networking plat-form to enhance academic achievement.”However, following a stint in Raizcorp’s

Pitch and Polish competition, Cleophaslanded up at Visual Impact. There he metUga Carlini, director of Alison.Alison is based on the true story of Alison

Botha, who was raped, stabbed and disem-bowelled – and survived to rebuild her lifeas an inspirational speaker. Botha’s storywas first transformed into a best-sellingbook “I Have Life” which has been translat-ed into seven languages and a perennial onPenguin’s best seller list since 1998.

According to Carlini, this is the first timeAlison has ever allowed cameras into herhome.Critics have described Alison as one of

South Africa’s most hotly-anticipated hy-brid films. “Deploying a bold mixture offairy tale idiom and unflinching franknessto tell its story of survival, resilience andtriumph,Alisonhas already been dubbed “astory of monsters, miracles and hope.”Locally it has been selected for the En-

counters International Documentary FilmFestival (Thursday 2 - Sunday 12 June) aswell as theDurban InternationalFilmFesti-val (Thursday 16 - Sunday 26 June). Alisonwill also be the opening film of the MzanziWomen’s Festival on Friday 5 August andis set for an exclusive Nu Metro Women’sMonth theatrical release on Friday 12 Au-gust.Cleophas says that being part of the

project has been nothing short of inspiring.He says that the entire experience was al-

so a learning one, because from amodellingand acting perspective, he only got to seeone side to the entire process, but since hehas been at Visual Impact and involvedwith theAlison project, it becamemore spe-cific to what he was promoting.“You have to attach an identity behind

the brand. There has got to be a feeling withregard tohowthis specific film isdealtwith.You have a person who is a hero to manypeople, who is this element of hope, a sym-bol of ‘I can’. You know,where thingsmightnot be the best, but it is okay.”A special, free, filmmakers in conversa-

tion event with director Uga Carlini andAlison will be hosted on Saturday 4 June at10:00 at the Encounters Film Festival at theV&A Waterfront Cinema Nouveau. Thissession explores the complex relationshipbetween filmmakers and their subjects – de-veloping trust, negotiating access and thefine line between the public and the private.V For more information, visit www.alisonthemov-

FROM PAGE 1In the first year they started to puttheir plans in place. Parents weregiven incentives to start taking aninterest in the school and day tripswere organised for the children toshow them life beyond their farmenvironment.One of the highlights of this part-

nershipwas creating a school read-iness and literacy programme.They have organised volunteersfrom the community and sur-roundingareaswhogive their timeto ensure the improvement of theliteracy skills at the school.The success of the partnership

between Perivale Primary inGrassy Park and Direct Axisis isalso in the book with principalDenzil van Graan pointing out thefar-reaching influences of the part-nership. The school faced a num-ber of issues related to drug and al-cohol abuse in the surrounding ar-ea, poor academic results andunpaid school fees.Maria Hill, the business partner,

explains howher approach to help-

ing was three-pronged: listening,giving hope, and steering.Van Graan says the results were

nothing less than remarkable.“The school has tuned itselfaround on so many fronts. Attend-ance has improved dramaticallyand ourGrade 7’s are nowbeing ac-cepted at high performing schools.We’ve also introduced more extra-mural activities and this has em-powered our learners.”McMillan explains there is a di-

rect correlation between goodschool leadership and educationaloutcomes. “Most principals havenot been equipped with the skillsand knowledge for their criticallyimportant leadership role.“Partners for Possibility is spe-

cifically designed to address thiswhere principals are partnered ina co-action and co-learning part-nership with business leaders whobring their knowledge and skillsabout change leadership to theschool.”V Visit www.pfp4sa.org

Agricultural activities are on thecards for Acre Road in Facret-

on.The Facreton Community Devel-

opment Organisation (Facdo) haveseen theneed for a sustainable foodgarden in the area.Now they’re taking the first

steps inmaking their dream a real-ity.A group of volunteers from the

organisation have just completedtraining to start such a gardenfrom scratch and are now raring toget their project underway.

Ricardo van Niekerk, from Fac-do, explains that they were part ofa group of 50 trainees from variousareaswho tookpart in the training.“We were all so eager to learn

and it was the most joyous feelingto plant our first beetroots,” hesays.“This training will help us uplift

our environment and grow ourown food because many house-holds cannot afford it with theirlow income.“If you do not have money, you

don’t have access to basic humanneeds, in this context, access tofood.“We were very motivated and

nowwe need to set up our own gar-den and get more people trained tostart their own gardens.”VanNiekerk adds that they have

more plans for the open field inAcre Road.“There is so much space here

that’s wasted and just used as adumping ground.“We have already started clean-

ingup the areawewant for the foodgarden, but we also have a multi-purpose playground in mindwhere children can play safely.”V The organisation welcomes donations toassist with establishing their garden. Formore information call Ricardo on 061 6608306 or email [email protected].

110 found living atproblem buildingProblem buildings came under the spot-

light last week when the City’s ProblemBuilding Unit joined the police in a raid on10Wright Street inWoodstock on Thursdaylast week.They confiscated tik with a street value

of just under R4000 and five bags of dagga.Three people were arrested on drug-relat-

ed charges, one of whom was also found inpossession of R2510 in cash. A fourth sus-pect was arrested on a charge of rape.JP Smith, Cape Town’s Mayco member

for safety and security explains that this ad-dress is on the list of problembuildings thattheCity is dealingwith. “Theownerabscon-ded several years ago and since then thepropertyhas been invadedby illegal occupi-ers who have taken over the four houses (8

to 12 Wright Street), but also put up numer-ous backyard structures,” he said.At the last count therewere 110 adults and

28 children under the age of 16 on the site.“We will be enlisting the services of the

Department of Social Development, butwillalso increase the frequency of raids on theproperty.Wright Street is an example of thestruggles we have with absentee landlordswho abandon their properties,” Smith says.“As it is a private property, it is up to the

owner to evict unlawful occupiers, but weare doing everything possible from our side(in conjunction with the police) to try andshut down this crime haven.This includesapplying for a demolition order which weare currently discussion with other rele-vant City departments.”

EDUCATION

Mind thegap yearMidyear exams are underway, and yourmatric scholar should be sharing their as-pirational plans. Do they want to pursuefurther education, join the working worldor a thought more scary… take a gap year?Parents often fear that their childmay be

left behind, sleep the whole day and partyall night; or, that they lose momentum andnever go back to study.Take a look at the pro’s and cons of a gap

year. Start by asking them a simple ques-tion: “what do you want to achieve by tak-ing a gap year?”Be open minded to the possibility that

your child is exhausted and uninspired aft-er 13 years of schooling. Your child maysimply be looking for opportunities to trav-el or grow their knowledge base throughwork experience. Perhaps they have plansto focus on other aspects of their personaldevelopment thoughcommunityworkor todiscover their drivingpassion.Your child’shappiness is as important as their inde-pendence.Another challenge to consider is the fear

of failure and separation from circles theyhavebecomesubconsciouslydependent on.Your child could be unable to see the impli-cations of their decisions made in fear ofbeing ostracised or rejected. Be aware ofthis emotional challenge and try seekingopportunities to expose themtonewexperi-ences, which will buffer their resilience tochange. Being able to adapt to a changingenvironment will help them cope through-out life’s curve balls.Keep in mind that children are encour-

aged to start thinking and making deci-sions for themselves earlier in life, versesdays when teenagers were forced to leaveschool early to seek employment. If yourchild is able to display a clear plan ofgrowth, even if just thoughmenial employ-ment opportunities, it might help themma-ture enough to realise that you can’t drivea Ferrari or find a solution to solve worldhunger without proper further education.Being able to take a gap year may be theone thing to help your child realise how for-tunate and necessary a higher education isto achieve your dreams.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVETCollege.

LETTERS

Still fightingfor freedomWhether you’re fighting a just cause,breaking the law and infringing onother people’s rights is wrong andshould be discouraged.Community leaders, union leaders,

student leaders – if you entice violence,vandalise property, intimidate or forcepeople to be part of your cause, what doyou call yourselves when you look inthe mirror? A leader, freedom fighter oractivist? You are in fact an oppressor.Freedom is the right of an individual

to act out of free will. If you have ahandful of people willing to protest withyou for a just cause, without anytactics, you can pat yourself on theshoulder and rightfully call yourself aleader.“No-one but ourselves can free our

mind”, so what right do you have toforce people to act according to yourwill?Society is falling apart because we fail

to recognise freedom for what it is – therespect and tolerance for another, evenif they don’t see things the way thatyou do.This freedom has been fought for and

in many instances died for.CARMEN NAZIER

‘Animals are a lotnicer than people’To Yagyah Adams (“Death penalty isrequired”, People’s Post 17 May) very wellsaid – the time has come to create anatmosphere of abject fear among those insociety who create abject fear amongstthe innocent in society.The only point that I would take up

with Adams is the second last paragraph“While we have the most violent societyon earth, those – who live in a well-pro-tected leafy suburb, far removed fromviolence – want to lecture the victims ofviolence”.Not quite true: the Constitutional Court

was created by our late Madiba in 1994 –subsequently this then politically createdCourt abolished the death penalty on6 June 1995.Prior to this, the last political hanging

was of Jeffrey Boesman Mangena on 29September 1989.My attitude towards the abolishment of

the death penalty is that it should havebeen voted on by the public in a referen-dum – however, in those early days itmay well have got the vote in favour ofabolishment.I am prepared to bet that if this was

put to the vote today via a public referen-dum (including those living in protected

leafy suburbs), it would probably bereinstated as it appears that the onlylanguage criminals do not understand isthat of going to prison.This brings me to my last two points –

how in the name of Hades can bail evenbe considered for say those who commit-ted the Tokai Forest murder?A Parliamentary law should be passed

that stops bail applications for murder-ers, rapists, paedophiles and other grosscrimes. Sentences are a joke – Parliamentin the same way should set out mini-mum, without parole sentences of saymurder (30 years), rape (20 years), childmolesters (20 years) and not leave thiscurrently arbitrary decision to magis-trates and judges.Sadly this will probably never happen –

South Africa, as the rest of the world,plays the political game of “Constitution-al Rights”; these working more in favourof criminals than victims.Never must we say of criminals “they

are worse than animals” – there is onlyone major difference between modern daysociety and animals, and that is thatanimals are a lot nicer!

ROD TOERIENEmail

Death penalty is never a solutionRegarding “Death penalty is required”(People’s Post 18 May).Criminals do not fear the death penal-

ty.Why would suicide bombers continue

with their vile belief in martyrdom?Few people consider consequences

when they contemplate their murderousplans.Stirring up emotions about one particu-

lar case is tantamount to instigatingviolence.Many more victims lose their lives

daily.No right-thinking person will ever

“find an excuse for murderers” – a verydangerous lie used by lovers of deathpenalty to confuse ordinary people.Of course everybody sympathises with

victims when they fall prey to derangedpeople.It is a blatant lie and generalisation to

mention that “they (opponents of deathpenalty) never mention the anguish of aparent whose child was murdered whileplaying in a neighbourhood park”.Ours can never be regarded as “the

most violent society on earth”.What about the US, where 33 000

gun-related deaths are recorded eachyear?What about Syria, Somalia, Nigeria,

Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, alldeath penalty countries drowning indevastating violence, to name a few?Those in “leafy suburbs” do not lecture

the victims of violence.They will continueto warn against this Trojan horse.The biggest lie, “death penalty is the

only punishment criminals fear”: thetruth and reality will one day catch upwith this modern-day Goebbels.

Remove artto restoreserenityI was at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gar-dens this morning (Tuesday 17 May)and horrified to see some “artwork”added to the beautiful little pool andwooden bridge, destroying the rusticpeace of this scene.This is a total travesty of everything

Kirstenbosch stands for – naturalbeauty, the one place one can viewnature in safety and quiet.William Sweet Love “artist” should

remove his stuff (“Water Wars”) andplacard forthwith and restore this littlecorner of serenity! If he wants a plat-form for his work then he should buildhis own little pool and put it in anexhibition hall of art – it is certainlyout of place where it destroys thenatural beauty. This is a world heritagesite that attracts thousands of visitorsfrom overseas – I believe there were6000 people there on the last publicholiday.Thank goodness that I got a beautiful

photo of the pool and rustic bridge lastweek – now the scene is spoilt with abright blue statue and lots of red blobs(frogs? turtles?) floating in the water.Shame on you Kirstenbosch!There is also a huge pile of water

bottles on display in the courtyard asone enters at the bottom gate – a hugerectangle stacked and on top of it(unbelievable!) a huge post box red dogwith running shoes on (meaning?) – andin contrast just further along by thebeautiful pond water feature a wonder-ful display of big Bonsai trees, some 150years old – how incongruous is that!That is the sort of display the visitorshould be met with on entering theGardens. What does one come toKirstenbosch for – more garish stuffthat one finds all over cities? Surely onecomes to Kirstenbosch for naturalbeauty, peace and serenity?I spoke to other people staring in

disbelief at the scene and they were alsoshocked at this contravention of thevery thing Kirstenbosch Gardens standsfor. There is not even a bin on thepremises because it would upset theaesthetic beauty of the scenery, andnow this? What are the people whomake the decisions thinking?

Tennis development in theWesternCape is getting tuned inwith some

support from top talents.Empext andWPTenniswill behost-

ing a gala jazz fundraiser at the Art-scape Opera House on Saturday 18June starting at 18:00.One of the organisers, Joey Fourie,

explains that this initiative has beenput in place to address social changein poorer communities in the metro(and elsewhere) through sport – inparticular tennis.“Weunderstand thatmanycommu-

nities face pressing problems andthat interventions that talkmore sub-stantially to poverty alleviation, edu-cation and job creation might bemore needed,” he says.“However, we have the skill-set,

network, knowledge andaccess to rel-evant partnerships to impact mean-ingfully on some of these areasthrough tennis.”

Imparting life skillsHe explains that the project has

started with tennis because itpresents a fantastic lifelong sport op-tion and vehicle for imparting lifeskills.“It also presents a huge develop-

ment opportunity because tennisstructures inmost communities havecollapsed.“Municipal tennis facilities in

black communities are derelict. Inour view themain reason for this canbe found in the ‘unification’ of tennisstructures after democracy.“Today, it costs a child R15 000 per

year (at the entry level and excludingthe cost of equipment) to learn to playtennis as compared to R500 to R2500per year to play cricket, because theonly coaching programmes in exis-tence are private programmes.“The situation cries out for a subsi-

dised coaching programme to be im-plemented by WP Tennis throughschools and (once established) clubsin black communities.”Fourie, who has extensive academ-

ic, social development and corporateexperience obtained with variousteaching institutions and projects,has a passion for jazz and sport thriv-ing in an environment where he canassist young people to take advantageof the benefits that sport and musichave to offer.

Great line-upFourie, who will also be perform-

ing, added that the event at Artscapewill include keynote speakers Loren-zo Davids, CEO of Community Chest,and Dr Shirley Zinn, author of Swim-ming Upstream.“We’ve got a great line-up of talents

for the show,” he says.“This includes the Andrew Ford

Quartet, Adelia Douw of the Delft BigBand, The Jazz Yard Academy fromBonteheuwel and the New ApostolicChurchChildren’s Choir, while therewill also be extracts from Mike vanGraan’s latest play Pay back the Cur-ry!”Tickets for the event cost R195, or

R175 for bookings of ten or more.V For more information call Joey on084 880 7012 or email [email protected] or Tony Loubser on 082 550 2994.

Schools sports on the Cape Flats needs toshine again.That is what the Kensington-based Play

Sport4Life organisation wants to activatefor the future across the peninsula.Miles October, founder of the organisa-

tion, announced the start of a prototypeschools sports programme at Harold CressyHigh School.The non-profit community organisation

will implement activities for the learnersacross a number of codes, making availableall the specialist coaches it has on its books.They have already run a number of events

in the community but October explains thatthis was the first programme his team will

be running in close collaboration with aschool. “We’re hoping that from this venturewe can fine-tune a matrix that can be imple-mented at any school in the peninsula,” hesays.“We are fortunate that Harold Cressy now

has a new school hall which can be integrat-ed and fully utilised as part of the school’sindoor sports activities. There are any num-ber of sports codes that can be played in-doors like volleyball, badminton, indoor soc-cer, netball, and basketball.”October adds that once the Cressy pro-

gram was running, he would see which oth-er schools were interested in implementingthe program.The announcement came on the day Octo-

ber andhis teamwent toHaroldCressyHighand South Peninsula High to hand out med-

als to the athletes who won their events atthe Kenny Roman Memorial meet at GreenPoint in April.Play Sport4Life, along with the Progres-

sive School Sports Union, arranged the dayto honour the lateRomanwhowas a champi-on sprinter in the ’60s and ’70s. He died re-cently in Australia.“We decided on an old-fashioned inter-

schools sports day which was so popularback in the day but, sadly, was abandonedyears ago,” October says.“The inter-schools format was very suc-

cessful but we ran out of time on the day andcould not give everyone their medals.”“At the Cressy handover we had Glenda

Jones and at South Peninsula we had AllanO’Ryan, Sharon Siljeur and Gavin Benja-min. These people were the stars of the ’60s

and ’70s inter-schools contests and went onto do great things in community athletics.They were inducted into the inaugural Ath-leticsHall of FamealongwithHermanGibbsand Cecil Blows.“Play Sport4Life would like to keep the

conversation going on restoring the inter-schools contests as an annual event. It ticksall the boxes as a top community event forchildren and it could inspire them to dreamof being the next Wayde Van Niekerk orCaster Semenya.“For the record, South Peninsula finished

top of the table at the Green Point event,”he concludes.V For more information on the schools sports programinitiative and Play Sport4Life, contact Nazlie Dollie on071 386 6573 or [email protected] or visit www.play-sport4life.org.

Battle of the Titans IV is oneof the most rewardingbodybuilding and fitness

shows in South Africa with astaggering R142 000 in prizemoney.

The show will be hosted byBody Building & Fitness SouthAfrica on Saturday 10 and Sun-day 11 June and boasts a newvenue at the Durbanville HighSchool auditorium movingfrom the previous CPUT Bell-ville campus venue.

Khayelitsha policeman XolileDamba has won the previousthree shows walking away withthe overall title.

“The show has seen tremen-dous growth since the first showback in 2013. We started off as alocal show in Cape Town andsince then we attracted top ath-letes from around the country.This year will be no different.We even have an athlete travel-ling from the UK to compete,”said Kevin Schwartz, owner ofBattle of the Titans

“Georgie Norval from the UKhas seen the benefits at thisevent which gives back to theathletes like no other. We havefitness categories frombeachbi-kini to fitness bikini, men’s cov-er model to men’s muscle modeland then our full blown hard-core bodybuilders bringingtheir best physiques to thestage. There will be fitness andhealth companies giving thepublic advice on healthier liv-

ing, so come along and grab asample or two,” said Schwartz.

Besides the prize money, sev-eral companies are on boardsponsoring prizes in the vari-ous divisions.

With the increase in prizemoney each year, this fixture ispenciled in in the diary of someof the finest male and femaleathletes in the country.

“The feedback is just phe-nominal each year, I believe wehave a winning recipe and thisis the main reason why theshow has grown in stature. Bat-tle of the Titans is all about giv-ing back to the athletes and tocreate a stage like no other forthem to showcase their phy-sique,” said Schwartz.

The winners in the overallbeach bikini, fitness bikini,cover model, and men’s musclemodel categories will walkaway with R10 000 each. Theoverall men’s winner receivesR35 000.

A new addition this year isthat personal trainers will alsoget some recgonition. The per-sonal trainer will receive R5000if their client wins an overall ti-tle. On Friday 10 June the ath-letes will register at the venuefrom17:00 to 20:00 at R150. Entryper division is R250.

sults elsewhere went their way in order tosneak into the promotion/relegation play-offs for a coveted spot in the Premier SoccerLeague (PSL) next season and they seemedto have aided their cause after MzwaneleMahashe opened the scoring to give the lead,which they carried through to half-time.However, theywould be pegged back byBar-oka’s Thabiso Kutumela to give the hosts avaluable point which saw them claim theNFD title and gain automatic promotion tothe PSL next season.The result meant that Milano United fin-

ished sixth on the table, five points from apotential third place finish, which wouldhave seen them qualify for the playoffs.In other results on Sunday, Santos, al-

ready assured of NFD survival, succumbedto a spirited FC Cape Town at Athlone Stadi-um, while Cape Town All Stars could notprovide Milano with a much-needed favourwhen they lost to Mbombela United at theKanyamazane Stadium.Other results from the final day of the
