Pause for thought The number of crosses planted in memory of all the rhinos that have been poached this year is accumulat ing rapidly. Last week Thursday, Mara Louw and the local group called Save the Rhino planted almost 100 crosses next to Bosmansdam Road. This year approxi mately 450 rhino have been poached. PHOTO: ANDRÉ BAKKES
BIG HONOUR: STUDENT INVITED
Off to see Obama ANDRÉ BAKKES “Where were you when the inauguration of the President of the United States took place?” Most South Africans would probably shrug this question off and answer: “In bed!” They will convince themselves that they wouldn’t really want to be part of some president’s induction in some other country. Yet, if they were given the chance to experience this historic event they would grab it with both hands. Third year student at the University of the Western Cape (UWC), Bianca Marinus (23), can’t wait! She has been “critically selected” and invit-
ed to attend the presidential inaugural conference in Washington, DC in January next year. Marinus had to raise a substantial amount of funds to cover her costs and during a fundraiser in Bothasig in September she did just that. The presidential inaugural conference is a unique leadership development programme that brings together outstanding young people from around the world to directly participate in the pageantry and ceremony of the inauguration of the president and vice-president of the United States. She glows with pride when she says: “As a young South African female to be receiving this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime experi-
ence and to be representing my country, is a great honour to uphold!” This A-aggregate student is active on many fronts – she is a career guidance practitioner, a Sunday school teacher, and a Golden Key International Honour Society member. Golden Key, a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO), has “chapters” at about 390 universities across the globe and only the best achievers are invited to belong to it. It’s responsibilities centre around community outreach programmes. A handful of representatives of this NPO is selected to attend the inauguration and Marinus heard in June that she will be one of them. “I was shocked!” she laughs. V To page 2.
