earners in Grassy Park can now also benefit from assistance offered by In Tune Tutoring, a non-profit organisation (NPO) which gives classes to learners in maths and science.

Nathier Abrahams founded the NPO in 2010. He already has tutoring centres in Claremont, Goodwood and Mitchell’s Plain.

Abrahams is an entrepreneur focused on creating education solutions to uplift communities.

“At first, the classes offered by In Tune followed a one-size-fits-all approach, which was not very effective. I found that different schools were at different points in the sylla-

bus in subjects like maths and science. Attempting to match class times with school sporting schedules was also difficult,” he says.

One-on-one tutoring worked well. However, getting one tutor for every learner was not feasible. It was also too expensive for most parents.

“The next option was offering three learners per tutor, which allowed for a more flexible schedule and more personalised learning for the learners.

“It worked but it was not perfect. Some students required more attention than others and it was difficult for the tutor to tutor different subjects and grades at the same time,” Abrahams says.

In Tune then developed blended learning, which provided the quality of one-on-one tutoring with the price point of a class.

“It combines the best of e-learning with the best of traditional tutoring to create a unique learning solution.

“Learners use their cellphones and headphones to watch short video clips that explain the work. Thereafter they get a question based on the topic to see if they understand.

“If they get it right, then they can move on to the next section or ask the tutor to explain the topic further.

“Once they have completed the module, they practice examples from previous exam papers until they feel confident,” he says.

Each learner has his or her own individual programme that he or she follows. This enables learners to work at their own pace and to focus on topics that they are struggling with.

“Every learner is different, each learner

“We can offer a personalised learning experience that is better than one-on-one tutoring and cheaper than a class by leveraging the power of technology,” Abrahams says.

Two time-slots are available at Grassy Park High on Saturdays from 09:00 to 10:30 and 10:30 to 12:00.

“We offer Grade 8 tot 12 mathematics, including maths literacy and physical science from Grade 10 to 12.

“To raise awareness about the tutoring programme, In Tune will be giving one free 90-minute trial lesson to Grassy Park residents (via bookings only). New learners wanting to book a free trial lesson can contact me,” he says.

Please just stop asking ‘when’ A

s a relatively newly wed, I am constantly being confronted with the question: “when?”

I don’t even think it is necessary for me to explain what I am referring to, as this question and constant bombardment resonates with any and everyone despite their age, race, background, life experience or relationship status.

If you are not in a relationship: when?

If you are in a relationship and not engaged: when?

If you are engaged and not yet married: when?

If you are married without kids: when?

When you have a kid, for number 2/3/5/10: when?

And the list goes on. And on. And on. And on.

As a society, it seems we are incapable of minding our own business.

And at this stage I’m not sure what to say in response anymore. Most often I resort to a humorous or sarcastic reply. “Don’t plan my womb” is usually the go-to.

But then I started thinking about it a bit

more and realised that while I am not sure if I am even able to have children or not, there are many women out there who have been confirmed infertile.

And naturally also some who simply do not want to procreate due to family history, personal preference, crime, careers or whatever other reason they have. Side note, yes, they are entitled to this choice.

Now think about this: a woman who longs for a child, who is incapable of conceiving her own and cannot afford the process of adoption. I am sure this is a heartbreaking realisation for any person. Then you, busybody, come in hot with that stupid, insensitive and quite frankly inappropriate question of “when?”

Some would never admit this is their situation and to be honest, it in any case is none of your business. I mention this because should this happen to you – and the likelihood of this happening is very probable – apologising and standing with egg on your face will not remove the hurt you inflicted on the women already battling to come to terms with this. And all in a bid to make

small talk.

I was raised with the phrase, “If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.

And now I am telling you, asking “when” is not a conversation starter, it is not a topic up for discussion and if you ask me again, just one more time, I might slap you with a “WHEN are you going to stop being an insensitive prick and mind your own business”?

And on top of that we should stop accepting that older generations should be allowed to say and do as they please, based purely on their age. We smile and shrug it off when in fact this is completely unacceptable.

If you really are desperate to start a conversation with someone, ask them how they are doing, talk about the weather or ask them what exciting things are happening in their lives.

Leave the “when” and the “you-got-fat” conversation starters for the bottom of the barrel . . . but that’s another story for another time.

A group of 40 learners from Strandfontein Secondary School meant to participate in this year’s Cape Town Carnival will have to wait a little bit longer to showcase their skills following the cancellation of the annual event.

The carnival was scheduled to take place on Human Rights Day, Saturday 21 March, on the Green Point Fan Walk. However, following president Cyril Ramaphosa’s address to the nation over the Covid-19 virus pandemic and measures that have been introduced to curb its spread, organisers have decided to call the carnival off.

“In consultation with our stakeholders, the trustees and management of the Cape Town Carnival resolved to cancel the carnival parade in the best interests of the health and welfare of all people and particularly the communities we serve,” a statement from the organisers read. “We would like to thank the 44 community groups, the individuals performers, and the carnival staff that have worked tirelessly to prepare for this event.”

Prof Rachel Jafta, chair of the Cape Town Carnival Trust, said: “My heart goes out to the carnival communities and management tea that have worked so hard to make this year’s parade extra special. Don’t lose hope; we will be back. We thank our sponsors and suppliers for their understanding in these uncertain times.”

Jean Prinsloo, principal at Strandfontein Secondary, says the school is the only high school in the Strandfontein community and “is a beacon of hope for a mixed community that has a few informal settlements such as 7de Laan and Plasie.”

The group, featuring 40 learners from

Strandfontein and suburbs like Pelican Heights, Pelican Park, Mitchell’s Plain, Khayelitsha and Nyanga, was meant to showcase their parade, Umswenko: Move to Your Own Beat.

Umswenko was originally expressed by miners as a way of celebrating life beyond the hardships of day-to-day work, using song, dance and fashion as a way out of their grim reality. In its new incarnation, it is once again enlivening a group of people in difficult circumstances, giving them a sense of purpose, joy and unity.

“We’ve been practising rigorously for about a month now, sacrificing intervals, practising after school, and even doing three-hour sessions on a Saturday,” says Judith Simmers, one of the choreographers.

Led and choreographed by Simmers, Fadley Hamsa and Merissa Schrikker, the group had evolved quickly into a safe place

of fun, friendship, laughter and brilliance.

Keeble-Mercuur, who would have been a participant, says there’s a buzz among the learners that wasn’t there before, and that the many hours of practising and togetherness have enabled the children to build new friendships, keep them out of harm’s way, and open their minds to new possibilities.

Recalling how it all started, Keeble-Mercuur tells the story of how a teacher, caught up in “the gees and magic” of being a part of the 50 000-strong carnival crowd before; “ran right along the parade route, next to the floats and through the crowds.”

“I think, for her, and for us, to see the absolute joy, pride and confidence on the bright young faces of those passing performers, spotting some of our very own learners shimmying in the belly dance, was something to behold and we as a school just had to get involved.”

A group of Strandfontein Secondary School learners who would have participated in the Cape Town Carnival, before president Cyril Ramaphosa banned large gatherings on Sunday 15 March.

GRASSY PARK

New CPF executive elected at AGM T

he Grassy Park Community Policing Forum (CPF) held its annual general meeting on Tuesday 10 March where an executive committee (exco) was elected to lead the community in crime fighting initiatives for the next five years.

Certificates of appreciation were also awarded for excellent service.

Grassy Park police station commander Col Dawood Laing was acknowledged for his leadership and building good relationships with the community.

Two of the longest serving members, Yaseen Meyer and Philip Bam, were also recognised for long service to the community.

Carola Neighbourhood Watch received a certificate for the support they provide to neighbourhood watches in the area.

In their speeches, Melvin Jonkers, who was re-elected as chair, and Laing complimented neighbourhood watches for

their crime-fighting efforts.

A plea was also made for changes to legislation to make it easier to rid the community of drug dealers. It was noted that killings by gunshots are down, and most murders are committed by knife.

The new executive committee is: Melvin Jonkers (chair), Nicole Jacobus (vice-chair), Ivan Coghlan (secretary), Capt Wynita Kleinsmith (assistant secretary), Saadiqah Manie (treasurer), David Benjamin (project-coordinator), Abdurahgmaan Ganief and Yaseen Meyer (additional members).

Although Philip Bam indicated that he would be retiring from the CPF exco, he bowed to pleas from members to accept the position of public relations officer.

The CPF exco will now work on a safety plan for the area.

They will be available on Friday evenings at the police station.

The exco members of the Grassy Park Community Policing Forum are: (front seated from left) Saadiqah Manie, Melvin Jonkers, Nicole Jacobus and Cpt Wyanita Kleinsmith. Back row (from left): David Benjamin, Philip Bam Yaseen Meyer, Ivan Coghlan, Abduraghmaan Ganief and Col Dawood Laing, Station Commander. Last row is the officiating department of community safety representative.

CPF demands harsh actions The Grassy Park Community Policing Forum (CPF) condemns the violence against women and children and especially the sexual assault on lesbians in the area.

“It is a sad day when children, influenced by gangsterism and drugs, take it upon themselves to sexually assault a lesbian woman. Rape is bad but even more reprehensible when 14-year-olds can sexually assault somebody because of her sexual orientation. All abuse of women must be condemned by our communities,” says Melvin Jonkers, chair of the CPF. “The incident in Lotus River, where teenagers gang-raped and sodomised a lesbian woman brings into focus the stark reality of gangsterism as we believe the teenagers are alleged to be members of the Dog Pound gang,” says Jonkers.

The CPF calls on all those in the criminal justice system to deal harshly with these miscreants.

“The state should send out a clear message that abuse of our women and children will not be treated lightly. There should be no bail and no parole for people who commit sexual attacks on others. It must be clear to all that people have a right to unhindered expression of their sexual orientation. A society that respects human dignity will not tolerate such dastardly behaviour,” Jonkers says.

The CPF calls for the removal of the perpetrators from society.

“We call on the community in the greater Grassy Park area to report abusive behaviour. Parents are called upon to train their boys with respect for the dignity of others,” he says.

ZEEKOEVLEI

Sailing school opens to empower children I

f you always wanted to know more about sailing and boats but never had the chance to experience this outdoor activity, you can now join the Little Optimist Sailing Academy at Zeekoevlei Yacht Club.

The academy opened its doors on Tuesday 10 March for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The sailing academy will host youngsters – most of whom have never been on a boat – for “sailing therapy” days. During these outings they will be shown the ropes of an optimist (a child’s dingy) and given basic sailing training by experienced instructors.

The children will also sail on a variety of boats and will be taught about water safety, the environment, sustainability and conservation.

“We call these ‘sailing therapy days’ because our young guests who attend, face either health or socio-economic challenges, learn about the basics of sailing and have a fantastic day on the water. This makes them feel incredibly special and empowered,” says Greg Bertish, founder of the Little Optimist Trust and the brains behind the academy.

Children from St Joseph’s Home in Montana, near Cape Town International Airport, attended the inaugural sailing therapy day.

“The children who are here begged to be part of it. This activity is a great opportunity for them to get outdoors, and it really boosts their self-esteem,” says the home’s Felicity Mbambani.

The academy has been partly funded by

money raised at The Great Optimist Race, a unique charity event that has been held for the last two years at the Cape Town International Boat Show in collaboration with Messe Frankfurt. Many of the boats that were used in the race have found a permanent home at the sailing academy.

Other academy funders include individual donors, as well as the METS Trade Show

in Amsterdam, where the Trust won joint first place at the 2019 international Dame Awards for charities.

The academy is home to approximately 32 optimists, which have been revamped and kitted out by the trust’s main sponsors, Two Oceans Marine and Ullman Sails, with assistance from retailer, Italtile and the Excellence Group.

Renewable energy to keep the lights on SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS SAMANTHA.LEE@PEOPLESPOST.CO.ZA @SAMANTHA_LEE121

With the dreaded return of load shedding following a decently long break, residents of the Western Cape could breathe a sigh of relief should plans to become energy independent go ahead.

In his State of the Province (Sopa) address in February, premier Alan Winde stated the province’s commitment to creating its own renewable energy. This followed president Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement that municipalities, who are capable of doing so, are at liberty to generate their own energy. “At the top of our list is finding alternatives to the number one hand brake on economic growth, and also a huge frustration for all of us – Eskom,” said Winde at the time.“Load shedding makes me the most angry when I hear of its effect on our small businesses. When stage six hit us on Monday 9 December it was a harsh awakening, and we have to be brave enough to admit to ourselves that we aren’t in for a quick fix.”

Winde continues that the province has been calling on national government for several years to make a number of energy reforms.

In his State of the Nation Address (Sona) on Thursday 13 February, Ramaphosa said Eskom’s capacity would be increased through renewable energy, natural gas, hydro-power, battery storage and coal.

This undertaking could take between three and 12 months, said Ramaphosa. He further warned residents that the likelihood of load shedding would continue as Eskom continues to battle constraints. “It has severely set back our efforts to rebuild the economy and to create jobs. Every time it occurs, it disrupts people’s lives, causing frustration, inconvenience, hardship,” said Ramaphosa. “At its core, load shedding is the inevitable consequence of Eskom’s inability over many years – due to debt, lack of capacity and state capture – to service its power plants.”

While the steps are welcomed by the provincial government, Winde said he had several concerns surrounding the generation of power.

“The Western Cape has worked hard in recent years to develop the framework to support alternative energy: 23 of our municipalities support Small Scale Embedded Energy, we have promot-

ed the uptake of solar PV, and we have done a large part of the groundwork required for the importation of Liquefied Natural Gas. As a province, we are primed to take advantage of the excellent economic opportunities that green- and alternative energy present for investment and growth,” said Winde.

“We are fortunate, especially in the Western Cape, to have some of the best solar and wind resources in the world, and we have the ability to become the emerging market leader in renewable energy.”

The province has a four-point plan to making this a reality. . Municipalities will be assisted in procuring energy from Independent Power Producers.

“Procurement in the government space is complicated and time consuming, so we will ensure that there is dedicated support to speed up a more robust procurement process,” says Winde. . Small Scale Embedded Generation like Solar power across the province will be increased. . The greening of government buildings across the Western Cape will be increased.

“Where there is a government rooftop that can benefit from solar, it will be installed. We already have solar systems on 17 provincial buildings,” says Winde.

Municipalities across the province are being supported and encouraged to make similar investments. . Importing of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) through Saldanha Bay will be fast tracked which enables Eskom’s Ankerlig plant to operate on LNG rather than the much more expensive diesel.

“Our work has already de-risked these initiatives, and we call on the national government to move with speed to bring LNG to our industries and power plants in the Province. Gas to power may also make sense in Mossel Bay,” says Winde.

“A petrol company is also already exploring offshore gas there, and while the outcome is several years away, we are starting the work now to make sure that we are able to maximise the major economic advantages which gas provides.”

While wind and solar resources are plentiful in the country, says Winde, adding that there is a potential for six times more generation.

Local departments are already looking at ways to implement this in the province.

. Clubs, district, provincial and national activity and includes junior and senior sports activities. . Amateur and professional sports gatherings. . Formal and informal sport gatherings . Private and institutional sports gatherings. . Practice and competition.

“Although the first action is a suspension of 14 days, this could change or be extended on further notice. We will continue to engage with our partners and the health authorities so that we, in turn, may advise you with accurate and timeous information so that you are in a position to make informed decisions.

“If ever there was a time for the sport to contribute to the nation, this is it.”
