EERSTE RIVER: THE COMMUNITY IS WILLING TO HELP
Finishing touches
Helping matrics to have a ball BENITA JAFTHA @benitajaftha2
T
wo young men from Eerste River, Selwyn Lottering (20) and Dewandre Fritz (19) started a project to assist matriculants with their matric ball. The project “I Will Help A Friend In Need” was established in 2019 when the men wanted to assist matriculants who are financially unable to fund their matric farewells. “Both of us struggled financially with our matric ball, we know how it feels to have nothing a week before the matric ball,” says Lottering. Lottering says they saw the potential and a need in the Kleinvlei community and took a leap of faith. The name of the project came about when they were discussing their own need for assistance and how they want to help others who are in the same situation. They know how it feels to be in need of finances or a support structure.” says Lottering. The project does not have specific criterion but what is important is that the learner’s school fees need to be paid and there must
be a definite need for the child. All the matriculant has to do, is to approach them and tell them what they need. The men provide a vehicle, dresses or suits, shoes, decorations for the house, ticket money and hairstylists from the barber or salon. All these items and services are donated by the community. At the moment they are helping five learners from Kleinvlei High School. “Excited, proud, satisfied, anxious,” said Lottering, those were the emotions he felt when they helped their first matriculant earlier this year. According to Fritz, they have received positive feedback from their community and the community is willing to help in any way possible. The majority of their candidates are from Eerste River, but they are open to helping matriculants in other areas as well. They help out at the schools by giving motivational speeches and help the learners with their academics. Their project, I Will Help A Friend In Need is the sister project of #TheDifference, which is a school mentorship programme run at Kleinvlei Secondary and Melton Primary schools.
School transport should be safe

Schools and parents should monitor the safety of transport used by learners. This request was made after the City of Cape Town transport enforcement unit impounded a minibus at a school during an operation in Kuils River on Thursday 29 August. Richard Coleman, spokesperson of the City traffic service, says officers stopped the
VW microbus outside a primary school. There were eight children, aged between 10 and 13, inside. The driver didn’t have a driving license or public driving permit, nor an operating license. Officers also found four crates of alcohol and two, five litre bottles of alcohol in the boot. The driver received a fine and the vehicle was impounded.
