Groenlig vir toetsing
AfriForum, munisipaliteit in gesprek
Yaël Malgas
Dit blyk aanhouer wen in die geval van AfriForum in sy stryd om inligting van die Stellenboschmunisipaliteit te verkry.
’n Jaar nadat AfriForum aanvanklik sy kommer uitgespreek het oor die watergehalte van die Veldwagters- en Eersterivier, is die burgerregteorganisasie nou deur die Departement van Water en Sanitasie (DWS) versoek om ’n gesamentlike inspeksie van die Stellenbosch-rioolsuiweringsaanleg te doen (“Riool besoedel riviere, AfriForum dring op antwoorde aan”, Eikestadnuus, 23 November 2023).
AfriForum het Dinsdag in ’n verklaring bevestig hy sal tydens die besoek monsters van behandelde rioolwater neem. AfriForum se
verklaring volg net ure nadat die Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit op sy beurt aangedring het die Stellenboschafvalwatersuiweringswerke voldoen ten volle aan die Nasionale Waterwet. Die munisipaliteit sê ten spyte van kritici steun hy die bedrywighede van sy suiweringswerke.
AfriForum het verlede jaar aangevoer die munisipaliteit is nie deursigtig oor die watergehalte in die Eikestad nie.
Die organisasie het toe private watergehaltetoetse laat doen ná gerugte van die storting van ongesuiwerde rioolwater in die riviere. “Watermonsters is geneem en by ’n plaaslike SANS 241geakkrediteerde laboratorium laat ontleed. Die toetsuitslae dui op gevaarlike vlakke van rioolbesoedeling in die Plankenbrug-, Veldwagters- en Eersterivier,” het AfriForum verlede November gesê.
Jacques Benade, AfriForum se distrikskoördineerder vir die Boland, het benadruk benewens die gevaar wat die watergehalte vir inwoners inhou, is daar ook die streek se ekonomiese aktiwiteite soos die vrugte-, wyn- en toerismebedryf, wat van goeie gehalte water afhanklik is.
Sedertdien het die organisasie die munisipaliteit gevra om oop kaarte te speel. AfriForum het verlede September ’n aansoek ingevolge die Wet op die Bevordering van Toegang tot Inligting by die munisipaliteit ingedien en wou spesifiek meer inligting oor die bestuur van die rioolwerke asook die verslae oor die watergehalte van die twee riviere bekom.
Volgens die munisipaliteit het hy die aansoek verwerk en alle inligting wat “wetlik toelaatbaar is” aan AfriForum oorhandig. Die munisipaliteit bevestig sekere “vertroulike dokumente” is teruggehou. Deel van AfriForum se versoek spruit uit data van die DWS se geïntegreerde regulatoriese inligtingstel-
sel, wat toon dat die Stellenbosch-rioolsuiweringsaanleg nie voldoen aan biologiese en mikrobiologiese standaarde nie. In Augustus het AfriForum weer gepoog om watermonsters te neem vir sy jaarlikse nasionale Blou-en-groendruppelprojek, waarin 330 punte landwyd getoets word. Die munisipaliteit is in kennis gestel van dié planne, maar het laat weet besoeke aan die suiweringsaanleg kan slegs met toestemming van die munisipale bestuurder gereël word.
Sedertdien het die rolspelers weer vergader en is ’n “hernieude verbintenis tot deursigtigheid en beskerming van die omgewing” deur die munisipaliteit beklemtoon. Uit hierdie gesprek het glo aan die lig gekom dat AfriForum se data en dié van die Stellenboschmunisipaliteit verskil. Die besluit is geneem dat gesamentlike watertoetsing moet geskied. Benade meen die munisipaliteit se bereidwilligheid om nou saam te werk is ’n eerste en kritieke oorwinning in belang van inwoners.

Stay safe during holidays
Cloetesville police, whose service area includes Idas Valley and Welgevonden, have shared safety tips with locals as the festive season is on the doorstep.
The local police station has a festive season awareness campaign underway and asks community members to get involved.
“For community policing to be successful it is important for members of the community to realise and accept they also have a social and moral obligation to assist and support the police in the fight against crime and other forms of social disorder,” said Cloetesville police station commander Lieutenant-Colonel Monique Fortuin.
To ensure safety this holidays, Cloetesville police shared some tips.
ROBBERY AGGRAVATED
This crime features any form of weapon
Avoid stopping in remote areas. Ehailing drivers are urged to be alert when approaching customers for the pick-up and/or drop-off.
Do not resist during a robbery, especially if the thief has a weapon.
A lift club limits the risk of becoming a victim of crime, the police said. Do not give strangers a lift when travelling alone.
Commuters on their way to work or back home or from entertainment venues are urged to avoid short cuts.
If in doubt about the safety of an area contact the nearest police station for advice.
Do not hesitate to liaise with coordinated partnership armed
response to assist, as they are also the police’s eyes and ears.
THEFT OUT OF MOTOR VEHICLE
Always lock your vehicles doors and keep windows closed when you make use of parking area facilities when doing your shopping.
Do not leave your vehicle unlocked, not even if you think you will only be away for a minute.
When a vehicle is parked in the street or in front at the kerb, ensure that the area is well-lit.
Limit trips at night, or take someone along with you.
Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle when parked.
If approached by strangers while in your car, drive off or press the hooter to attract attention, if possible.
Do not leave valuable items in the glove compartment or anywhere in the vehicle when parked.
Valuable items such as laptops, cellphones and cameras should be placed in the boot before departure.
Remove detachable radio faces when getting out of the car in public places.
BURGLARIES
The primary aim is to have burglar proofing covering all windows and doors to prevent easy access to premises whether present or not at home.
Make sure security gates have sturdy locks.
Acquire an affordable alarm system to warn occupants of any intrusions in the house.
Security lights on the outside can improve the physical protection of a
house, farm or smallholding.
When you leave your residence, especially over the festive season, inform your neighbours or family of your intended destination.
Do not be visible from the bedroom from the outside when asleep.
Clear areas such as bushes that obstruct the entrance of your house, gates or hiding places, so they can be visible to police when patrols are done.
FRAUD-CYBER CRIME
Suspects may especially target innocent and vulnerable people. Make sure to strengthen password security and use secure connections when shopping online.
Everyone should be wary of phishing scams and make regular updates to software and devices. Be sure to limit the personal information sharing on social media.
Be sure to regularly monitor financial and online activity.
Report any information on wanted suspects and illegal firearms to your local police station.
The police urges members of the public to report incidents of crime to the authorities instead of posting the incidents to social media.
IMPORTANT CONTACT NUMBERS
Police members can be contacted to report any incident should you wish not to report it at the station on 021 888 5940/41.

Die Stellenboschpolisie het nog ’n verdagte in hegtenis geneem in verband met die dood van die Matie-student Jesse Mitchell. Die plaaslike polisie het inligting ontvang oor ’n verdagte wat vermoedelik in besit was van die rugsak, skootrekenaar en beursie van die 19-jarige Mitchell, wat Woensdag 16 Oktober in die vroeë oggendure op sy verjaarsdag doodgesteek is.
Mitchell was op sy fiets op pad huis toe na die Nooitgedacht-woonstelle toe hy glo oorrompel en beroof is. Rudolf Hufke is in verband met Mitchell se dood aangekeer (“Matie se steekmoord wek kommer”, Eikestadnuus, 24 Oktober). Hy het reeds in die plaaslike hof verskyn. Stellenbosch-polisiebeamptes verbonde aan misdaad-intelligensie het die afgelope Vrydag (22 November) ’n 32jarige man van Pretoria na Kaapstad en Stellenbosch vir ondervraging gebring. Die verdagte was in besit van die rugsak wat aan Mitchell behoort het en is Maandag (25 November) vir diefstal, wat by die moordsaak gevoeg sal word, aangekeer. Hy sou na verwagting gister (Woensdag 27 November) in die Stellenbosch-landdroshof verskyn. Die ondersoek duur voort.

Wait for deeds finally over
Yaël Malgas
“Yes, I am the homeowner.”
These were the proud words of 35 Snake Valley residents who received the title deeds to their homes in Khayamandi they were living in for more than two decades last Thursday (21 November).
The beneficiaries gathered at AmaZink Live in the local township, where municipal officials officially handed over the deeds to the various homeowners.
The Snake Valley maisonettes were handed to local residents in November 2003. Despite the completion of the housing project it was never registered at the deed office, which meant the deeds could not be handed over.
Since then the Free Market Foundation (FMF), sponsored by the Rupert Foundation, has worked to get the 20-year-old housing project registered and, by extension, ensure residents received their deeds through the Khaya Lam project.
Two fieldworkers were appointed to help people with disabilities complete the relevant paperwork at home. Along with the process of obtaining the deeds, the foundation also offered consumereducation sessions to help locals understand what homeownership entails and the responsibilities that go with it.
Through this education residents were also informed of what functions are the responsibility of Stellenbosch Municipality and which their own.
“Now you have these deeds, guard them well,” Temba Nolutshungu, director of the FMF, told the homeowners.
“Take care not to get yourself
swindled out of your homes. You get these people who see you may be struggling and who say they will give you a R5 000 loan to help, but they want your deeds as collateral for the money. Do not do it!”
Nolutshungu quoted late former President Nelson Mandela, who said: “A man is not a man until he has a house of his own.”
He told residents that with their deeds they now have an economic asset that no-one can take away from them.
“Today you are no longer the have not’s. Take care of these homes because the municipality will not be giving you another.”
For Elda Nobelungu (68) and her six
children it was a happy day. She said with the help of her adult children, they take care of the home and are happy there.
Fezeka Nkitini (45) said she has waited years for Thursday’s event. “This really means a lot,” she told Eikestadnuus. “It is a good day, and I’m happy I am now the owner of the house. I live with my two children, 16 and 24 years old, and we are all glad,”
More work lies ahead for FMF with the second batch of Snake Valley residents, who will soon receive their title deeds. An intern town planner will also soon join the municipality and focus on projects in Khayamandi, Cloetesville and Klapmuts.

Waterbestuur onder loep
Yaël Malgas
Ingewikkelde probleme vereis vernuwende oplossings.
Met die bekendstelling van die platform van beroepsuitnemendheid (PoVE) hoop rolspelers om vindingryke oplossings te vind.
Die PoVE-program vir beroepsuitnemendheid is Dinsdag 12 November amptelik deur die energie- en watersektor se onderwys- en opleidingsowerheid (Ewseta) bekendgestel. Dit is die eerste van sy soort op die vasteland en het ten doel om Suid-Afrikaners toe te rus met die vaardighede wat vir volhoubare waterbestuur nodig is.
Teslim Mohammed Yusuf van die energie- en watersektor se onderwys- en opleidingsowerheid (EWSETA) aan die woord.
Die bekendstelling het verskeie besprekings, werksessies en selfs ’n hackathon behels en was daarop gefokus om Suid-Afrika se wateruitdagings die hoof te bied.
Die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) se waterinstituut was die gasheer vir die geleentheid en het rolspelers in die watersektor van onder meer Nederland, Duitsland, Estland en die Tsjeggiese Republiek verwelkom.
Verteenwoordigers van die Europese Unie (EU), US, die departement van water en sanitasie en Capricorn TVET Kollege het aan die bespreking deelgeneem.
Teslim Mohammed Yusuf van EWSETA het die rolspelers vir hul bydraes bedank.
“Ons almal is deel van ’n ekostelsel. Ek kan sonder twyfel sê met al die jongmense hier kan ons verseker wees
toekomstige geslagte sal kontinuïteit hê in dit wat ons doen,” het Yusuf gesê.
Hy het bygevoeg verskeie sleutelterme is in die besprekings uitgelig, waaronder die verbintenis tussen energie, water en kos.
“Ons is dalk hier om oor water te gesels, maar die verbinding tussen energie en kos kan nie onderskat word nie. Hier is volhoubaarheid weer ter sprake. Ek vra my gereeld af hoekom doen ons dit wat ons doen? Dit is eenvoudig – ons doen dit vir die geslagte wat kom,” het Yusuf gesê.
Die praktiese vaardighede wat in die watersektor nodig is en die wyse waarop maatskappye geleenthede kan skep vir diegene wat die sektor betree, was ook onder bespreking.
Deur die sektoronderwys- en opleidingsowerhede (SETAs) word ook gepoog om praktiese opleiding aan toekomstige ambagsmanne en -vroue vir hul loopbane in die watersektor te gee.
Die jongmense wat die PoVE bygewoon het, is aangespoor om die regte gesindheid te hê vir hul loopbane en aan te hou leer en hul vaardighede te verbeter.
Boniswa Hene van die departement van water en sanitasie het die belangrikheid van samewerking in die sektor uitgelig en meen die staat kan nie alleen na die sektor omsien nie.
Sy sê die departement is opgewonde om saam met rolspelers te werk om hande te vat om waterbestuur te baat.
Slangpik eis
Yaël Malgas
Indien dit nie vir die baba se gehuil was nie, het Gershwin Conradie se familie dalk nie kans gehad om van hom afskeid te neem nie.
Conradie (28) en sy familie woon op die Welgevallen-plaas. Dit is hier waar sy geliefdes vermoed hy is deur ’n slang gepik, wat sy dood veroorsaak het. “My seuntjie het gehuil en ek is toe sommer op. Ek het besluit om almal se broodjies in te pak vir die dag toe ek ’n vreemde geluid hoor. Ek het vir my ma gevra of sy dit ook hoor, maar ons kon nie agterkom wat dit is nie,” vertel
Gershwin se jonger suster, Elanie Conradie, wat Maandagoggend om 03:50 in die kombuis was.
Gershwin het saam met sy vriendin en hul week oue baba in ’n huisie net oorkant die kombuis gewoon.
Elanie sê die kombuisdeur is toe oopgemaak en haar broer val toe neer op die kombuisstoepie. “Ek het weer die geluid gehoor en my selfoon se lig gebruik om te kyk wat aangaan. Hy was op die stoep en kon nie praat nie, maar hy het nog gereageer wanneer iemand met hom gepraat het.”
Elanie sê Gershwin se vriendin het vroeër vertel van ’n seerplek op Gershwin rug. Hy het glo Sondagoggend vroeg gekla die seerplek brand en sy moet kyk of hy teen iets gekap het.
Met Gershwin wat op die stoep lê het Elanie haar broer se T-hemp opgelig en die seerplek gesien. Daar was klein kolletjies op sy rug en die familie het sedertdien besef dit is waarskynlik waar Gershwin deur ’n slang gepik is.
Teen die tyd dat Gershwin by die Stellenbosch- provinsiale hospitaal aangekom het, het hulle egter nog nie tot dié besef gekom nie. Gershwin is by noodgevalle ondersoek en ontslaan.
“By die huis het hy net verswak. Hy het ook stuipe begin kry. Die middag het ons die ambulans geskakel en hulle het vir hom suurstof gegee en hom aan ’n drup gekoppel. By die hospitaal het hulle ’n bloedtoets gedoen wat gewys het daar is die ‘een of ander gif’ in sy liggaam,” vertel Elanie.
In die hospitaal het Gershwin weer stuipe gekry.
Dinsdagoggend het die jongman se week oue babatjie begin huil en 15 minute later het die hospitaal die Conradies geskakel om hospitaal toe te kom.
“Ek glo dit is die huil wat die kindjie gegee het omdat Gershwin daardie oomblik gesterf het. Kyk nou net hoe werk die Here. . . Maandagoggend was dit my seuntjie wat gehuil het en Dinsdagoggend was dit Gershwin se
seuntjie wat gehuil het,” meen Elanie. Gershwin werk sedert 2019 vir Matiesmelk op die plaas. Hy is een van vyf kinders en Elanie sê sy sal haar ouer broer as ’n ware staatmaker onthou.
“Dit het nie saak gemaak of dit dag of nag was nie – jy kon hom vra om ietsie vir jou te doen en hy sou. Hy het dalk nors gelyk, maar hy was ook ’n lieflike mens. Hy het maklik met mense oor die weg gekom en was liefdevol,” vertel die sussie.
Geen begrafnisreëlings vir Gershwin is nog bekend nie.
Blackie Swart, ’n gesoute slangvanger van Strand, deel die volgende slangverwante wenke:
Bly kalm: Hou kinders en troeteldiere weg van ’n slang. Indien die slang binnenshuis is, maak die deur toe en plaas ’n handdoek onder die deur om die slang in die vertrek te hou. Indien die slang buite is, handhaaf ’n veilige afstand van minstens drie meter en hou jou oog op die slang. Moenie betrokke raak nie: Moet nooit probeer om ’n slang te vang deur dit uit te lok deur voorwerpe daarna te gooi of dit dood te maak nie.
Slangbyte: In die geval van ’n slangbyt beklemtoon Swart die belangrikheid daarvan om kalm te bly en onmiddellike mediese hulp vir jouself of jou troeteldier te soek. Behandel elke slangbyt as potensieel giftig, verwyder juweliersware en die troeteldier se nekbande, en kom so gou as moontlik by die naaste hospitaal of veearts.
Indien moontlik, probeer om die voorkoms van die slang te onthou, maar mediese personeel sal in elk geval die behandeling van simptome prioritiseer.

Further repairs expected on Franschhoek Pass
Rasaad Adams
Phase 2 of repairs to flood damage on the Franschhoek Pass (R45), following the destructive storms of September 2023, is set to only commence in March next year.
This means motorists will have to continue to drive with caution on the pass, especially during the festive season, as several areas remain volatile following slope damage and slip failures along parts of the road.
The damage was caused by heavy downpours over Heritage weekend last year. Repairs to the scenic roadway was undertaken by the provincial infrastructure department.
As a safety precaution several temporary stop-and-go systems have been erected, as some lanes remain inaccessible to traffic on the pass.
Departmental spokesperson Jandré Bakker reminded motorists that a 5-ton weight restriction is currently in place on the road. “It is advised that larger heavy motor vehicles use alternative routes,” he said.
Explaining the two-phase reparation process of flood damage, Bakker said the first phase comprised emergency repairs.
“These are interim measures to ensure access is restored and critical work is done to stabilise the site to avoid permanent failure,” he elaborated.
“This initial portion of the work is complete, and vehicular access has been restored in a safe and controlled
manner. The permanent-works design for the damage is now complete and the department is currently in the process of finalising the documentation.”
Bakker said the second phase will form part of the current upgrading of Main Road 191 (0,0 km to 9,57 km) and the periodic maintenance of Main Road 191 (9,57 km to 41,95 km) project.
“Once all the relevant processes are completed and approved it is intended that the permanent flood-damage repairs in the Franschhoek Pass will commence [on the eve of] the first quarter of the new financial year... in March 2025,” he added.
The department is currently refurbishing several parts of the R45, from Old Paarl Road all the way to the Theewaterskloof Dam near Villiersdorp.
Bakker said these roadworks are well

underway, and while there are milestones for completion on specific sections, the overall project is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.
“While we understand the frustration roadworks have on commuters, the long-term benefit outweighs the shortterm inconvenience and sacrifice,” he said.
“Road users should also remember the greater road network suffered significant damage, and we have to balance resources with need throughout the province, which forces us to [conduct] repairs in phases and programme accordingly.”
Meanwhile, in her Medium Term Budget Policy Speech for the 2024-’25 financial term, delivered on Tuesday (26 November), provincial finance minister Deidré Baartman said the provincial governments’ application for disaster and infrastructure funding from National Treasury has been approved.
She said the province would receive R1,2 billion, flowing through various provincial conditional grants, including R947 million for disaster-related infrastructure reconstruction and rehabilitation of infrastructure damage between December 2023 and July 2024.
“The extent of the damage caused by these floods and the high likelihood of more extreme weather events occurring is further reason why we need to budget better for disasters,” she said.
Several parts of the Franschhoek Pass suffered flood damage during the devastating storms last year.

Working alumni’s dedication rewarded
Stellenbosch-based NGO Bergzicht Training and Development honoured its working alumni at its sixth annual Celebration Day on Wednesday 13 November.
The prizes awarded to alumni totalled in excess of R65 000, celebrating the achievements of graduates who have successfully gained and remained in employment.
Ward 23 councillor Lwando Nkamisa delivered an inspiring keynote address. As one of the youngest members of the Mayoral Committee of Stellenbosch Municipality, he said: “Success is not a destination, but a journey of continuous growth, resilience, and unwavering belief in your own potential.” He emphasised the need for collaboration among local stakeholders to foster job creation and entrepreneurship, and congratulated the alumni for securing jobs.
The Top Achiever Award was presented to Vuyiseka Xatasi, 2023 Food Service Assistant alumnus, currently employed as a commis chef at Lanzerac Hotel. She received a prize valued at R10 000.
“This is how Bergzicht thanks one for one’s hard work and makes one feel appreciated. It makes me very proud of myself,
after having gone through a personal ordeal through which I persevered. The recognition showed me that I am a strong woman, and that God is always with me,” Xatasi said.
“Bergzicht motivates one always to do one’s best, and this win of mine should motivate others to always give their best in everything they undertake in life.”
The runners-up were 2023 Child Care alumnus Samantha Julius from Steggies Pre-primary and Froggies Aftercare, and 2023 Health and Frail Care alumnus Clementine Baadjies from Huis Horison.
The programme category winners included Portia Komeni
(prep chef at Hazendal Estate); Lizann Rooi (teacher assistant at Coetzee Residence); and Marcia Magadeni (frail-care worker) at Right to Care. Each received a microwave, generously donated by private sponsors.
The organisation also acknowledged six 2024 Chef’s Learnership students, funded by the TK Foundation.
Bergzicht CEO Renske Minnaar thanked the funders, especially Marlene Barnard from the Hanns Seidel Foundation, a funder since 1992, and the Work Integrated Learning partners and employers. “Without you we cannot have this successful event with all these working alumni,” she said.
Gee pakkie by braai
Avril Fillies
Die braaidag van sportlui op Saterdag 14 Desember is weens onvoorsiene omstandighede van Gordonsbaai na die New Orleans-park in Paarl verskuif.
Die Strand-rugbyklub hou op dieselfde dag ’n potjiekoskompetisie op die Gustrouw-sportvelde en weens ’n ander geselligheid is Roger Daniels, die voorsitter van die Strand-rugbyklub, se woning nie beskikbaar nie.
Die braaidag word deur sportlui gehou vir oudspanmaats wat dit nie so breed het nie. Kospakkies word opgemaak en aan die spanmaat wat dit nodig het, uitgedeel. Elkeen wat die braaidag bywoon, word versoek om nie-bederfbare produkte soos blikkieskos, pasta, rys, ontbytgraankos en suiker saam te bring.
Belanghebbendes is ook welkom om iemand van hul klub of gemeenskap vir ’n kospakkie te benoem en die kospakkie sal na afloop van
die braaidag aan die persoon wat die begunstigde benoem het, gegee word om dit te dan te gaan oorhandig.
Aanvanklik sou die blikkie of pakkie as hekgeld dien, maar omdat New Orleans-park gebruik gaan word, sal ’n toegangsfooi by die hek betaal moet word. Ongeag watter sportkode belanghebbendes aan behoort het of tans aan behoort, is almal welkom om die dag met mede-sportlui om die braaier te kom geniet, ou sportstories te deel of om net weer gesellig met oudspanmaats of ander sportlui te verkeer. Elkeen moet sy eie gazebo, braaigoed en drinkdingetjie saambring en die dag kom geniet. Dit is die tweede keer dat die braaidag gehou word en as jy voel jou bydrae van niebederfbare produkte kan ’n verskil in iemand se lewe oor die feestyd maak, is jy welkom om ’n draai te maak. ) Vir meer besonderhede kan Warwick May by 072 556 1075 of Athol Ontong by 083 358 1784 gebel word.

Maties op Showmax
’n Splinternuwe reeks, wat in die ryk tapisserie van die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) delf, is van hierdie maand af op die stroomplatform Showmax te sien.
Die Matie Legendes & Pioniers- dokumentêre reeks delf in die universiteit se geskiedenis en bied aan kykers ’n kontemporêre besinning oor sy sosiale en historiese mylpale, terwyl die merkwaardige verhale van sy alumni en gemeenskap gevier word.
Dit is die eerste keer dat enige universiteitsinhoud op ’n Afrika-stroomplatform beskikbaar is.
Hierdie dokumentêre reeks is in 2020 bekend gestel. Dit is die geesteskind van Karen Bruns, die senior direkteur van Ontwikkeling en Alumnibetrekkinge by die US, in medewerking met die veteraanjoernalis en alumnus Bun Booyens en die bekroonde filmmaker
Jo Higgs. Die reeks word deur die US se Afdeling Ontwikkeling en Alumnibetrekkinge se jaarlikse begroting gefinansier. Die reeks het ten doel om inspirerende narratiewe aan te bied wat biografieë en onvergeetlike oomblikke oorbrug. Dit delf diep in die US se argiewe, prestasies en tradisies om die beproewings
BYDRAES VAN MATIES
TOT SA EN VERDER . . .
en hoogtepunte van die instelling oor die afgelope eeu te vertel. Elke episode vang die waardes, uitnemendheid en wedersydse respek vas wat die universiteitsgemeenskap steeds vorm.
“Matie Legendes & Pioniers is ons manier om na te dink oor die diepgaande bydraes van Maties tot Suid-Afrika en verder,” sê Bruns.
“Dit gaan oor die deel van persoonlike en kollektiewe reise wat definieer wat dit beteken om ’n Matie te wees –stories van transformasie, veerkragtigheid en ’n blywende verbintenis om ’n beter plek van die wêreld te maak.”
Samewerking met Showmax verseker dat Matie Legendes & Pioniers miljoene kykers reg oor Afrika en verder sal bereik. Showmax se verbintenis tot die vertoon van Afrika-stories strook met die US se doelwit om plaaslike stemme te vier en sy ryk geskiedenis na ’n wêreldverhoog te bring.
Die reeksbekendstelling is Dinsdag (26 November) met ’n spesiale geleentheid by die Neelsie-bioskoop gevier, toe gaste ’n vertoning van die lokprente kon geniet, gevolg deur ’n gesprek met die reeks se vervaardigers.

. Episode 3: Die kollig val op dr. Thinus Kruger se baanbrekervrugbaarheidswerk, insluitend Suid-Afrika se eerste proefbuisbaba in 1984 en baanbrekende mediese prestasies wat Stellenbosch se rol in mediese innovasie beklemtoon het.
. Episode 4: Die Uurbyeenkomste: Coetzenburg. In hierdie episode word die merkwaardige verhaal van die Coetzenburg-atletiekbaan gedeel en onderhoude word gevoer met Suid Afrikaanse atletiekikone, – onder wie Elana Meyer en Zola Budd.

“It is a true reflection of the terroir,” Engelbrecht said. “The block has an incredible identity, which makes it a pleasure from which to produce wine. It has good concentration and pronounced fruit characteristics. There is a lot of hard work, passion and attention the detail going into creating any wine, but cabernet sauvignon is king, and in Stellenbosch, region and cultivar are a match made in heaven!”

Maynier added it is understandable that the matrics want to celebrate the end of their schooling, but he urged them to do so responsibly and safely.
“We urge all matrics attending these and other smaller events, firstly, to familiarise themselves with the safety measures at the event itself and the relevant local emergency phone numbers.
“Also, they must keep a close eye on their valuables at all times and, similarly, keep a close eye on their beverages at all times, and not leave them unattended.
“Report anything suspicious to the South African Police Service or event organisers immediately, avoid drinking and driving, and set up a buddy system for their own safety as
well as keep in regular contact with their parents.”
Parents are encouraged to ensure their children understand the risks involved in any event or party, and to ensure they have made arrangements to stay in contact with their children and know what to do in an emergency. The national matric results announcement has been moved to Monday 13 January 2025, to accommodate the first day of school.
Individual candidate results will be released at schools and on the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) website from 10:00 on Tuesday 14 January 2025.
“We look forward to celebrating with all our matrics when the results are released next year!” Maynier said.

Advancement of literacy, numeracy
A Stellenbosch education institute has celebrated a potential breakthrough in addressing the country’s literacy and numeracy crisis, with children from a local township achieving exceptional literacy scores, significantly outperforming the national average.
In a recent survey conducted in Khayamandi, where the Community-Rooted Education (CoRE) training programme was launched by the Indaba Institute a few years ago, children aged 4 and 5 (taught by CoRE-trained teachers) recorded 94% scored for Emergent Literacy and Language, against an average of 71% in the Western Cape and 54,7% nationally. A 20 to 40% positive deviation is statistically very significant, given the Khayamandi sampling is from quintile 1 and 2 learners.
In Emergent Numeracy and Mathematics, the children who have benefited from Indabatrained teachers scored 57%, compared to 47% in the Western Cape and 33,9% nationally.
The 2021 Thrive by Five Index, released in April 2022, is the largest survey of preschool child development ever undertaken in SA. The index highlighted, among other metrics, that a staggering 57% of children enrolled in ELPs in SA fail to thrive by age 5. But the results of the Indaba
Institute, in Stellenbosch, has now recorded a rare glimmer of hope.
André Shearer, Indaba founder and chairperson, said the institute delivers CoRE, which trains teachers in the heart of their own communities. Instead of a “topdown” lecturing approach, the CoRE programme trains and empowers teachers to dramatically improve the education they offer to young children in their care at ECD centres. He said: “These promising and impressive outcomes reflect the positive impact of CoRE, as teachers have clearly been empowered to enhance their children’s abilities in the two key metrics driving the devastating academic outcomes in SA’s education system – numeracy and literacy.”
The survey was conducted by Data Drive 2030, which used the Early Learning Outcome Measures (ELOMs) 4-5 assessment tool, and compared against benchmarks taken from the Thrive by Five 2021 Index.
The index found that 50% of children face barriers to thriving that limit their chances of realising their full potential, reported Innovation Edge. Only 43% of these will start their formal education with the right foundations in place.
By comparison, Indaba describes its ability to enhance children’s life chances by training teachers in innovative
teaching methods and to harness local language, culture, resources and creativity.
In this manner, teachers mobilise their own communities to cherish and rally behind quality ECD education collectively, even for poverty-stricken children.
In July Siviwe Gwarube, basic education minister, said the department’s most crucial priorities are to intensify efforts to improve access to and quality of early-childhood development and improve literacy and numeracy skills across all schooling phases.
“Indaba has demonstrated how this can be achieved with the CoRE programme,’’ added Shearer. “The implications of the results we’ve managed to achieve in the ELOMs are nothing short of a revelation.
“Since we started the Indaba Institute we’ve realised we have to find a way that contributes to the dramatic transformation of society. If you look at the literacy and numeracy crisis in SA, it is unprecedented and unbelievably complicated, and it threatens the future of the well-being of SA, unless we get it right.
“The ELOMs, related to the CoRE programme in Khayamandi, in one of the hardest-hit townships in the country, found within the context of some of the greatest Gini Coefficients in the world, have yielded a literacy and numeracy outcome significantly
higher than the benchmarks.”
The recent assessment produced key findings that will inform their strategy and action plans to highlight areas needing further intervention and improvement, particularly in fine and gross motor skills.
Indaba believes this is a systemic issue in the vulnerable, poverty-stricken communities it serves, where many ECD centres lack safe outdoor play and recreation spaces. Understanding these challenges immediately enables the CoRE facilitator to focus on equipping practitioners with the tools and strategies to better support children’s development in these areas.
The ELOM is a set of population-based child assessment tools designed to
determine whether children are developmentally on track for their age. The tools also establish whether an ECD programme is effective in preparing children for entry into school, and identify areas for programmatic improvement.
The CoRE programme has proven that, with the right approach, even in the most impoverished communities, we can achieve remarkable improvements in literacy and numeracy.
“At Indaba, we remain committed to this vision of a transformed education system, where every child, regardless of their background, has access to the quality education they deserve. These results show that change is not only possible, it is already happening.”
The Indaba Institute in Stellenbosch has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in addressing child literacy and numeracy. Survey results show exceptional achievements among Khayamandi children, outperforming national averages.

Top-class tennis action at Van der Stel
Curro Holdings partnered with Tennis South Africa (TSA) to bring world-class tennis right here to Stellenbosch with two International Tennis Federation (ITF) men’s and women’s tournaments. The tournament, held at the Van der Stel courts, will take place from Sunday 1 to Sunday 15 December. Eikestadnuus spoke to Cindy van der Merwe, portfolio manager at Curro Sport, about the event and the international and local players to watch.
What will the tournaments entail? The tournament includes a men’s (M15) ($15 000) and women’s (W15) event with the first tournament running from 1 to 7 December and the second from 8 to 15 December. Each category boasts prize money of $15 000 per week, an overall pool of $60 000. The series was launched in Hillcrest, Johannesburg, in June. Why did Curro decide to continue the tournament in Stellenbosch?
The success of the first leg of the Curro Centre Court Series underscores the importance of local support and investment in tennis. It demonstrates that with the right opportunities and platforms, South African players can shine on the international stage, inspiring future generations to take up the sport. We look forward to the success of the two Stellenbosch tournaments. What opportunities do hosting such tournaments bring for South Africa’s professional players and rising stars? As the tournaments form part of the men’s and women’s ITF tour, the series allows some of
the world’s best up-and-coming players to improve their rankings by earning points for their performances. These points are crucial for their professional careers and are typically gained at a much higher cost in international tournaments. The series also significantly reduces the financial burden on local players, allowing them to compete at a high level without the expense of international travel. These events offer an opportunity for rising local tennis stars to face off against international professional players with attractive prize pots on offer.
How has the series impacted local players? South African players who competed in the Curro Centre Court Series earlier this year have earned valuable ranking points on the world’s biggest professional tours – ATP Men’s World Tour and WTA Women’s World Tour. The three weeks in Hillcrest proved pivotal for South Africans who represented 39,7% of the draw (201 out of 508 players were South African) and a further 46,3% of the South Africans were under 20 years old. This is a stark
contrast to the handful of players who have the means to travel outside of the country to get the same exposure. A total of 387 ATP and WTA points were won by South Africans in the three-week Hillcrest series, which amounts to 55,7% of all points won by South Africans in the entire previous calendar year (695). Are there any Stellenbosch locals expected to be in action at the tournament? Marc van der Merwe and Carl Roothman, both from Paul Roos Gymnasium will be taking part. Other locals include Grey College alumni Phillip Henning, Curro Durbanville alumni Kris van Wyk and Isabella Kruger and Zoe Kruger, both Curro Hazeldean alumni. Current Hoërskool Stellenbosch player HanMarie McAslin will be on the court as well as Leo Matthysen and Willem de Waal (PRG) will be in action. How does the tournament help showcase tennis and help the development of the sport? By hosting and investing in these tournaments, Curro aims to inspire and nurture the next generation of SA tennis champions. The series brings the best players to our country and gives our young up-and-coming stars the tangible opportunity to see them in action and compete to test their abilities. Generally, South African players must travel to other countries to play in tournaments of this calibre. Having these tournaments in SA not only offers valuable exposure and experience but also helps elevate the status of tennis in our country. Curro’s commitment is to create a thriving tennis culture that encourages young athletes to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential, ensuring
Professional players expected to compete include Leo Borg, son of Swedish five-time Wimbledon winner, Bjorn Borg, South African Davis Cup team players Alec Beckley, Leo Matthysen and Phillip Henning, Fed
