Constitutional court rules over DA SADTU (South African Democratic Teachers Union) Western Cape is ecstatic that the Constitutional Court has dismissed Education Minister of Education Donald Grant’s leave to appeal against the decision of the High Court to have the 27 schools which the department wanted to close down, remain open, pending the review of each school by the Court. This is huge victory for the 27 schools and SADTU who were respondents. SADTU regards this also as a severe blow to the national minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga who opposed the application by SADTU and the 27 schools which was heard
in the High Court in December last year. Grant, in his Constitutional Court application, wanted to claim costs from SADTU, and they don’t know how he will explain to premier Zille and the tax payers that he has wasted their money. They are livid because this money could have been used to provide infrastructure to schools, more books, libraries, computer labs and reduce class sizes in poor working class communities. They hope the premier’s eyes will open and she will relieve Grant’s action to close the schools in the Western Cape. This is a huge victory for poor schools and members of SADTU in the country.
Here are the teachers with principal Desmond Ceaser in front of their school during a picket to persuade the Western Cape Education Minister Donald Grant to withdraw the collective agreement to stop the closure of the schools. PHOTO: FRANS LE ROUX

The Ordinary People hip-hop sessions what I see around me on a daily basis,” says Siyabulela Bhali. The CD is sold for R50 and is available on order. Ordinary People hip-hop sessions, hosted by Mfanekiso, takes place on a monthly basis in an open-air space called “eStoepini” in Mbekweni. A group of Mbekweni Youth (between ages of 16-35) meet on a monthly basis and showcase their talent through the form of hip-hop, poetry, street dance and comedy. The hip-hop sessions have been going for just more than 10 years now. This is one of the few and most popular platforms that takes the Mbekweni youth away from crime-driven activities and centralizes them into one place where they are not being judged by the community and where they can voice their views without being censored. Their main challenge is, unfortunately, lack of sponsorship and support from surrounding businesses and government institutions. For more information on the hip-hop sessions, sponsorship and how you can get hold of Maica please contact his manager and event organizer, Mfanekiso @0784682074 or send an email to mfanekiso@gmail.com.
MAICA (Mpumelelo Melathi) was discovered by his fellow crew mate and producer, Mfanekiso (Siyabulela Njomane), back in 2004 in a show that Mfanekiso organized. He has performed around the Western Cape and in 2006, together with his group “Original Accents”, he was selected to perform in the popular hip-hop theatre show Hip-Hop Connected at Artscape in Cape Town. MAICA is one of the talented rappers in Mbekweni and Paarl in general. He was also featured in a Music from the Cape Winelands compilation CD that was sold all over the world. He also featured in the Isiqalo compilation CD that was released in 2006. Maica also featured in a Belgian produced documentary that focused on life in the township. The documentary was released in Belgium and broadcasted on their national TV. On 30 April he will launch his 10-track CD, Saphola, which is Xhosa for “We’ve been watching”. “I talk about a variety of things; the social illnesses in and around Mbekweni, love, hip-hop and having fun and I also talk a lot about myself on this CD, my personal struggles as a young man growing up in the streets of Mbekweni and

LYK IS GEVIND: Die halfnaakte lyk van Rudene Counter (17) wat vroeër vandeesmaand langs die Palmietrivier in Klein Nederburg gevind is, is verlede Maandag deur haar ma, Bettie Counter, uitgeken. Volgens haar ma is Rudene laas op 1 April gesien toe sy by hul huis weg is nadat sy ’n R100 gevra het om haar verjaardag die volgende dag te vier. Toe Bettie haar vir twee weke nie sien nie het sy bekommerd geraak en haar by haar pa in Smartie Town gaan soek. ’n Vriend het Bettie aangeraai om die na Paarl-Oos-polisiekantoor te gaan om navraag te doen. Sy het toe op Maandag 15 April haar lyk by die lykshuis gaan uitken. Hier hou die gemeenskap en familie vir Rudene ’n kranslegging by die plek waar haar lyk gevind is. Die moordsaak word ondersoek en enigiemand met enige inligting word gevra om sers. Ernest November by 021 877 5900 te bel.
