In a meeting held yesterday at the Linge- lethu-West police station commander Colo- nel Michael Rietz and his staff listened at- tentively as learners told stories of how gang wars affected their education. “It was something we knew already but we were more touched when the children and their principals presented their case,” said Col Rietz. In May this year City Vision in conjunc- tion with Ground Up published a story de- tailing gruesome results of the Vato and Vu- ra gangs. Major -General Jeremy Veary who heads the anti-gang operation warned then that time was running out to stop “school” or “youth” gangs from becoming structured crime networks, which could make policing the already violence-riddled township even more demanding. He said the gangs – the Vuras and the Va- tos – were in the same “transition stage” as the now-notorious Cape Flats gangs such as the Hard Livings and Americans in the 1980s. “Our strategy is to prevent them becoming organised criminals,” he said. Colonel Rietz said working together with principals and student leaders from Bulum- ko, Masiyile, Thembelihle, Iqhayiya, Man- yano and Luhlaza High Schools they have set up a multi-sectoral forum to tackle the problem. “We have a strong foundation to work from because everybody wants to play a part in normalising our society,”said Rietz. Khayelitsha Safety and Security Forum chairman Mbulelo Boqwana hailed the for- mation of the “schools cluster against gangs” but called for all schools to ben en- gaged. “SAPS must be commended for initiating this forum but we call upon all government departments and relevant stakeholders to play a role in making sure that this plan achieves the goals of ridding our communi- ties of gangs and drug abuse,” said Boqwana. He suggested that “life skills camps” and sports be introduced amongst the youth to make sure they were “positively occupied”. Some of the learners present at the meet- ing pointed out that “peer pressure played a big role” in fuelling the gang wars. Rietza said the learners would go back to their schools and “champion the cause of gang free schools”. He said the focus is to get the youth in- volved by allowing the learner to speak on behalf of their schools. “ It was a very fruitful discussion and de- cision taken on who are the NGOs and state department that needs to be involved,” he said. One of the learners present Lindokuhle Ntwenkulu said he was excited to be part of this initiative. “We feel motivated to speak against gang activities if we know there is support for what we do. Many children at school don’ like what happens when gangs fight, it’ very disruptive,” he said. Sibahle Qithi said nothing can beat a unit- ed front against drug abuse and gangster- ism. “The majority of learners don’ t want to be involved in the behaviour but they are scared to say no to peer pressure,” said Sibahle. Constable Nyalambisa said more schools would be invited when the programme is of- ficially launched in January.

Realises and fightfor your dreams
Everybody has a vision. You haveyour vision and I have mine. So don’tbe surprised to see people you knowdoing well.They are living out their vision. You
have to live out your own vision too.If you do not have one, find one.
Find out what is your vision.By the way, a vision is like a dream.
It is a dream. What is yours? Do youhave any? If you don’t, you will alwaysbe jealous of others who have visions.When you see them doing well, you
will be surprised and you will wonderwhy they are doing well. You will say:“Why are they doing well while I’mnot?” It is because they are notsleeping.It is because they are always work-
ing on their dreams. While you arehaving fun, they are working on theirdreams. While you are pleasing others,they are working on their dreams.One day you will see them emerge.
You will see them emerge fromoblivion and you will feel a pang ofjealousy in your heart. We all do.Whether we like it or not, we all do.When we see someone we know
come into the limelight, that mixedfeeling hits you. You don’t knowwhether it is jealousy or not. Youassume it is not, but it is. And after
that you cover it with joy and pretendto be happy.You wish him well. If I were you, I
would ask him how he does it, so thatI could be like him. But would youtake it if he tells you there is nomountain high enough?If men can tell women that in song,
why can’t they tell that to theirdreams? I mean, a man would doanything to have a woman he loves.He will go to any length. He would
give her anything she wants.He would treat her like a queen.
What’s stopping you from doing thatwith your dream?I’m not saying a woman is like a
dream, nor am I saying a dream islike a woman. You can’t equate thetwo.And yet there is something about a
dream...If you can make it, you are on top of
the world. That is why it is importantto fight for it. A dream has to befought for; you can’t leave it to chance.You can’t say it will be realised by
doing nothing. You have to do some-thing.You have to work really hard and
you have to have faith. What is faith?It is seeing your dream as it is.When you see your dream as it is,
you get excited. You ask: “Can it bedone?” If you believe it can be done, itwill be done. You have seen it throughfaith. Now it is time to do it throughbelief. Stay positive.
Education: Raring to go
Boost for smallKasi businessesMBONGISENI MASEKO
Budding entreprenuers from the sprawlingtownships of Khayelitsha and Mitchell’sPlain received a shot in the arm for theirsmall businesses after graduating with a De-velopment Programme Certificate from theUniversity of Stellenbosch last Friday.After an intense nine-month programme
that equiped themwith business administra-tion, financial management, IT know-howand marketing skills, among others, thegraduands said they were raring to go andapplied their newly-acquired knowledge.One of the 17 graduates, Litha May-
engese,43, could not have been happier withhis achievements.More so because he was one of the luckiest
from a pool 137 hopefuls.“The panelistsmade it clear from the onset
that theywere looking people whowere goal-oriented,” he said.He runs a security management company
calledMayengese Security Service, in Site B,Khayelitsha. His company boast nine em-ployees in its books.“The course shed light on how to take my
business to greater heights, and its no longera pipe-dream’’.Mayengese believes that fate dealt him a
good hand as he was one of the last peopleto apply for the course, held for the secondtime this year.Funded by the Distell Foundation and AB-
SA bank, the participants also received les-sons in labour legislation, human resources,marketing, customer service and the betteruse of social media.
Applying strict criteria, the course at-tracted 137 applicants and saw only 46 ofthese being shortlisted.And then only 26 applicants were further
accepted, of which only 17 graduated.Each participant was also mentored by
an alumnus of the course.Melanie Burke, director of the Greater
Tygerberg Partnership, motivated thegraduands and told them to continue learn-ing so they can run sucessful businesses.“You have gained a fantastic knowledge,
tomake it in business requires a lot of hardwork...Stay focused,’’ she said.Speaking to the graduates, a representa-
tive from Absa Enterprise Developmentsaid, judging by their enthusiasm, theywere now “ready to face the world”.“With the skills they have obtained, and,
if applied correctly, their businesses can bea boost to our economy.” She also saidAbsawill continue to support the program foryears to come.An elated Mayengese was only happy to
relate his tale of the road to being accepted-in in the programme.“The interviewers were very strict and
they wanted someone who had a goal toachieve.I am glad that I made the cut to the list
and that I have now passed the training,’’.Mayengese is sos confident of the ac-
quired new skills that he foresees a brightfuture for him and his employyes.“In the past it was difficult to convince
potential clients onwhy the should do busi-nesswithus, butnowIamsoassuredof con-fidence that there are many clients in thepipeline,” he said.Last year,Mayengese, sensing opportuni-
ties, took a huge risk and resigned from thecompany he previously worked for as a se-curity manager to start his own business,last year.“I am now planning to expand my busi-
ness and employ more people. The coursewas so useful. We did everything as a teamand helped each other,” he added.

when their price was handedover on Tuesday.Pheliswa Busika, the
school principal said their“secret ingredient” workedout for them as they slightlymissed the position one re-gardless of joining the racelate.“We started collecting the
packages at the eleventhhour, but the gap between usand number one was so slim. We workedvery aggressively. Our secret ingredienthelped us a lot. We will use it next year andwe will be crowned as number one. I wantto thank the parents, learners and also thestaff as a whole,” Busika said.She also said winning the position one
will see learners getting some shoes, nextyear.“Getting the shoes will be a great relief
to the parents of the learners,” she added.Al l the teachers were awarded with fra-
grances.The list of their winnings include being

egory to award two learners, each fromtheir phases, to encourage learners to putmore effort in their studies.A learner has to keep a high level per-
formance throughout the year to qualify forthe award. The duo was given special blaz-erswithwhite line in frontwhich theymustwear everyday when they are still at theschool. The school choir also won an awardin Durban, few months ago.

It’s lights, action for the deafDeaf learners across the country will havethe chance to learn theatre skills thanks toworkshops on the National Schools Tour bymultiple award-winning visual theatre com-pany FTHK.
The tour starts on 25 November and willvisit schools and community centres in Jo-hannesburg, Mpumalanga and the WesternCape.
FTHK, the recipient of the 2011 Fleur duCap Award for Innovation in Theatre, inte-grates Deaf and hearing performers and cre-ates groundbreaking productions and thea-tre education initiatives that are accessibleto Deaf audiences. Their Tell-Tale Signs(TTS) programme extends to Deaf and hear-ing schools and organisations across the
county and, since its inception in 2007, theNational Schools Tour has introduced theexcitement of live theatre shows and train-ing programmes to more than 50 000 learn-ers.
The first phase of the 2014 schedule tookplace earlier this year, visiting schools andcommunity organisations in rural areas inthe Western Cape, Eastern Cape and FreeState in partnership with Clowns withoutBorders.
For this next leg, a dynamic team of ac-claimed theatre makers have teamed up todevise a workshop programme. UK-basedDeaf artist, Ramesh Meyyappan, who haspreviously worked with FTHK in a residen-cy at the Dominican School for Deaf Chil-
dren in Wynberg Cape Town, joins formerFTHK company member Liezl de Kock andlong-time collaborator Sjaka Septembir aswell as choreographer Andile Vellum, whois also Deaf.
In addition, the Western Cape learnerstaking part in the workshops will have theopportunity to attend a performance of theinternationally-acclaimed production, WarHorse at Artscape Theatre on 5 December aspart of a broader schools group initiative byAssitej, which has been made possiblethanks to the generous sponsorship of RandMerchant Bank.
In preparation for this visit, the WesternCape workshops will focus on educatinglearners about the production. Meyyappan
has had the opportunity to train with WarHorse creators, Handspring Puppet Compa-ny, while de Kock, Septembir and Vellumworked with the UK Partner and Producer,the National Theatre UK team; HandspringPuppet Company and Assitej earlier thisyear, to help develop content for the work-shops. The FTHK team will watch WarHorse while they are in Johannesburg.
“We are delighted to be embarking on thenext phase of our 2014 National SchoolsTour,” says Ana Lemmer, CEO of FTHK.“The workshops for this leg of the tour arelonger than those from the previous legs ear-ly in the year, enabling learners to benefitfrom more focused time and increasing theopportunity for skills transfer to take place.”

The flipside of treatingforeigners with disrespectYoung people in our townships make adeal with successful foreign shopkeepersthat they will guard them against robbers.The young people claim they know local
people better and can point out possibletroublemakers.They do that in exchange for a few
beers or demand a protection fee, whichwill be also used for drinking.When the deal goes wrong, the very
same youngsters organise hooligans toattack and loot the shops, claiming theydon’t want any foreigners here.The looters grab expensive items
without paying. They don’t care aboutdestroying the image of our country. Apicture is painted to the outside worldthat all South Africans are xenophobic.
Instead of learning a thing or two fromthese prosperous traders, our youngpeople drug and drink themselves todeath.There will come a time when these
people return to their countries. We hearevery day that some country has discov-ered oil, coal or diamonds. Countries likeGhana and Mozambique are becomingrich. And it will soon be our turn to goand seek greener pastures on the otherside. We’ll be crying for time wastedinstead of learning how they successfullyconducted their businesses. We will expectthem to treat us as human beings, whilewe failed to respect them here.

Call to regulate taxi industryThe taxi industry has been neglected fortoo long. One would think governmentwould have met some of the taxi ownersand drivers grievances by now.Most of these grievances are genuine.
Each time there’s a taxi strike the samecomplaints arise. That means no one islistening to the taxi operators.Why can’t the government subsidise
taxis as it does with buses and trains?Lanes allocated to the BRTs should
have been given to the taxis as well – nowonder they’ve declared the yellow lanetheir property.Government is concerned about the
high unemployment rate, but they fail tosubsidise the taxi industry, which has the
potential to create jobs.If government is afraid of taxi people,
who can touch them? It’s the same oldstory of our country – having a goodconstitution but lacking manpower andresources to implement it.Ignoring those in the taxi industry has
created the notion that there are separaterules for ranks and other citizens.Now that it is summer, women in
miniskirts will be embarrassed at taxiranks. Taxi drivers, please stop harassingour sisters because they have a rightdress that way. Your behaviour is wrongand unacceptable.

Hard work brings successIt is a fact of life that you cannotachieve what you have not defined. Thisprinciple also applies to success.Most people who want to be successful
are not necessarily unable to be success-ful. The problem with them is that theymisunderstand the word “success”.One of the most common mistakes is
thinking that success is as a result ofgenius or magic.You need to have the right picture of
it, as well as the right principles to
attain it. You never arrive at success.Everyone has their own specific vocationor mission in life. They must carry out aconcrete assignment that demandsfulfilment.Our fingerprints can’t be duplicated.
Success comes as a result of us growinginto our full potential.We can do anything, but we cannot do
everything.THANDOKAZI MABE

Take a stand, be the changeIf you cannot beat them, join them.This is a famous saying which encour-
ages us to maintain the status quo evenwhen we see the need for change.I look at this saying as a challenge for
us to stand our ground, believe that wewere made for something great and stickto our principles.We need to set the tone and stop
giving in, going with the flow andaccepting things as custom.Leaders in South Africa need to
review their actions and we as followersneed to be determined and refuse to bepart of mediocrity.We should take a stand and accept the
responsibility that comes with humanrights.Keeping quiet can only mean we
comply with the wrong behaviour wesee.There is so much evil around us –
corruption in government, people
turning to crime, and pupils and teach-ers doing despicable things instead oflearning and teaching.We find ourselves measuring the
damage and not the difference.The cup of endurance runs over. We
should come to a point where we say wecannot be part of corruption – be it inthe workplace or at home.I mean, which university will accept
you with a 30% pass? Be the first tohave your likeness depicted.People like Nelson Mandela and
American rights activist Rosa Parks tooka stand and made the change theywanted to see. They were relevant andaccountable.We are all leaders in our own unique
way. Make your mark where you are,whether you’re a cleaner or a CEO oranything in-between.

Get clued up on diabetesI would like use this opportunity orplatform to encourage all South Africans,especially the youth in our townships togo to any government clinic or hospitaland get tested for diabetes.Friday 14 November was World Diabe-
tes Awareness Day. In South Africa, themonth of November has been dedicated tocreate awareness among citizens of thedangers of diabetes, as well as informingthem of how it can be controlled.Last month I was diagnosed with
diabetes. As a result of a lack of informa-tion about the disease, I ignored itssymptoms for a very long time.When I was tested, I was informed I
was a chronic sufferer, as it had pro-gressed too far.For this reason I want to encourage
everyone to test now than later. Here are
some of the most common symptoms ofdiabetes. I suggest you have yourselftested if you often experience any of thesesymptoms: more than regular urinating;often feeling very thirsty; often feelingvery hungry even though you have eaten;extreme fatigue; blurred vision; cuts orbruises which heal at a slow pace; rapidweight loss even though your eatingpatterns are normal; or a tingling, pain,or numbness in your hands or feet.If you are diagnosed with diabetes, do
not be afraid. This disease is controllableand manageable. Tablets may be pre-scribed to help improve control.More importantly, regular exercise and
a strict diet will help in keeping it undercontrol.

Zomsi spreads her wingsASTRID FEBRUARIE
For 13-year-old Zomsi Mdzoyibeing given the opportunityto attend one of the most elite
schools in the country is a dreamcome true.The Grade 7 pupil at Micklefield
Primary School in Rondeboschwas recently awarded a full schol-arship to attend theOprahWinfreyLeadership Academy for Girls inJohannesburg.“I am extremely excited and
nervous for this new chapter inmylife, but I am grateful for the oppor-tunity,” she says.Mdzoyi lives in Samora Machel
with a single mom, Zolelwa.“Getting up at 05:30 every week-
day to travel to school has all beenworth it.My education comes first.It is something I have learned frommy mother,” she says.Zomsi’s circumstances at home
did not deter her from pursuingher dreams to be the first in herfamily to receive a scholarship.“My mother has sacrificed a lot inher life, she gave up so much notonly formebut to supporther fami-ly,” she says.Her mother is her greatest moti-
vator and role model.“My mother never had the op-
portunity to study further after shematriculated. She had siblings tosupport, but does not regret her de-cision in doing so. She became astronger and independent womanbecause of that,” Zomsi says.Her Grade 7 teacher, Beverleigh
Lee, says says Zomsi is a talentedgirl with a positive work ethic.“She is a pleasure to teach and is
always courteous and friendly to-wards her friends and classmates,”she says.Lee says Zomsi deserves this
wonderful opportunity, adding sheexcels in Xhosa, and also does wellin mathematics, drama and natu-ral science.“It is rewarding to see that Zomsi
has made the most of her opportu-nities that have been offered to her
at school. I have no doubt that shewill be an asset to her future schooland a wonderful ambassador forSouth Africa,” she says.Zomsi had to go through four in-
terviews after making her applica-tion to attend the academy.“It was nerve-wrecking because
it is an opportunity of a life time,but I wasmyself and gave it my all.When my mother and I got the
news that I had been accepted wewere overjoyed,” she says.Zomsi was also offered a full
scholarship to attendBridgeHouseSchool in Franschoek.She, however, accepted the
scholarship at the academy asthere are girls with similar back-grounds to hers to whom she canrelate.Lee says Micklefield is a nurtur-
ing school and staff believe in de-veloping each girl’s potential. “Weare all very proud of her achieve-ments,” she says.After matriculating Zomsi plans
to become a teacher or social work-er as she wants to help childrenwith similar backgrounds. “Iwould like to motivate young girlsto be more than their circumstanc-es allow them to be,” she says.

HUMILIATED: Thandile Peteni, 34, a worker at Build It Cape Town, claims he sustained minorinjury after his manager threw a traffic cone on him, recenthly. PHOTO: MBONGISENI MASEKO
Thandile Peteni is seeing red, very red.He is also nursing a bruised ego andphysical injury.
He suffering stems from an incidentin which he claims involves his boss anda traffic cone.
Peteni, a Khayelitsha resident, hasnow laid charges against Daniel Marais,claiming he has suffered physical injuryto his upper body, due to the latter’s ar-rogance.
Peteni,34, an employee at Build It, inCape Town, alleges that Marais threw atraffic cone at him, claiming he diso-beyed a lawful instruction.
This is despite the boss being awareof his handicap, he claims.
“He (manager) said he threw the coneat me, because I ignored his call.
“I could not hear him because I ampartially deaf after a fire accident to myleft ear,” Said Peteni.
“When he first employed me, I in-formed him of my hearing problems,”Peteni said.
When he protested his innocence, Pe-
teni claims his boss, instead of apologis-ing, took him by the scruff of the neckand held him down.
The father of two children said he wasleft with visible scars to his left side af-ter his house caught fire while he wasasleep in 2001.
Meanwhile, Marais has denied all theallegations against him and says his em-ployee is taking things a little too far.
“It was a small object I threw to get hisattention...I think he is arrogant andsometimes plays deaf,” said Marais.
Peteni said he feels violated and thatMarais is on a mission to humiliate himeven more.
“He has instructed me to drop thecharges or lose my job,” said Peteni.
But he is sticking to his guns.“I’d rather lose my job than drop the
charges...He has displayed utter disre-gard for my feelings. My wife has ad-vised me not to drop the charges.
Marais said: I do not know why hecalled you(City Vision), because whathappened is between us. I am not awarethat he is partially deaf. He was not in-jured and he is healthy.
Khayelitsha: Culture of seeking employment should cease to exist
Young people shown the wayMTHAKAZI MAKALIMA
That the sprawling township of Khayelit-sha holds numerous benefits for the en-trepreunal minded is beyond dispute.
Only last week Kasi Entrepreneurshipheld a business-enhancing two day con-ference to teach local business people onthe subject.
Ekasi Entrepreneurship has been run-ning these workshops for three years ina row, and attendees only sing praises forthe programme.
According to many, the prospects for agreat economy for the country are great.
The venue for this august occassionwas the Lookout Hill, and the speakers in-cluded the esteemed Professor WolfgangH. Thomas, of the University of Stellen-bosch.
Advise was dispensed with to emergingbusinesses.
Thomas said studies have shown thatonly 25% of the youth had dreams of start-ing their own business, and if this shouldchange, things would turn out better forthe country.
“The culture of waiting to be employedor seeking employment should cease toexist and instead young people shouldstrive to create their own business thatwill grow in the future,” he said..
Respected Khayelitsha entrepreneur,
Luvuyo Rani, founder and managing di-rector of Silulo Ulutho Technologies andalso one of the organisers of the event saidbringing people from all corners of thecountry to empower local business peoplehas positive spin-offs for Khayelitsha.
“We bring great speakers all over thecountry to educate our people so our peo-ple can open business that will help beatunemployment and poverty,” said Rani.
The organisers also announced that forthose business people who missed out, an-other event is planned for next year.
Maloti Mathobi is one of the young en-trepreneurs who took part in the event.
Mathobi, from Khayelitsha, is founderand owner of clothing brand Strato, basedin Long Street, Cape Town.
She said she was excited to be one ofthose empowered by taking part in theworkshop.
“It was a chance to share my experienceand ideas as a young entrepreneur, whilealso learning from the other people,” Shesaid
Mathobi said it all begins with an ideain the head, a passion for success andtransforming those into reality.
“It must be love, so you can enjoy doingit...It won’t be an easy journey, but thedreams do come true if you play by therules...and the fruits are always sweet toenjoy,” she added.

Music: Gugs choir ready for glory
Choir brims with confidenceMANDLA MAHASHE
A Gugulethu choir that is set to representthe province at a national contest nextmonth is quietly confident despite the odds.Joyful Harmonies Choir is a four-year-old
choir that hasmade waves in the choral mu-sic circles ever since it was founded foursago.They are currently the highest rated in
The Old Mutual National Choir Festival’sstandard category but this is the last thingon theirmind, according to founder and con-ductor Monde Mdingi.Mdingi says their biggest concern is get-
ting funds for their trip to Durban’s Interna-tional Convention Centre where the compe-tition will be staged from 6 to 7 December.“We want to get there early so that we can
have enough time to rest and rehearse in or-der to make the best impression in the com-petition.Last time, we went to the national compe-
tition we didn’t get enough rest and wedidn’t do as well as we would like,” he ex-plained.The group was placed 4th out of 10 choirs
on their debut appearance in the competi-tion in 2012. “We have 60 members so trans-port and accommodation is always a prob-lem when we have to make appearances.The sponsor of the competition has
availed transport and accommodation butwe would like to get there early because weare the furthest.Getting there a day before the event will
be to our detriment,” said Mdingi. He re-mains confident about the choir’s chancesdespite the expectation.“Now that we are rated at the top of the
group everyone is expectingus to dowell butwe justwant to give the audience a great per-formance.A win would be nice but it would be a bo-
nus,” said Mdingi.The choir was initially made up of Fezeka
High School matriculants and alumnae butlater attracted youngsters from as far as
Khayelitsha.“Even though choralmusic is not themost
attractive for youngsters but we have abun-dant talent.
The biggest challenge is that the young-sters lose interest and theyventureoff differ-ent genres that appeal to the youth,” saidMdingi.

Gugs young artist grabs a top awardCape Town-based visual artist KemangWa Lehulere has been named by the Na-tional Arts Festival as the 2015 StandardBank Young Artist for Visual Art.
Growing up in Gugulethu, 30-year-oldWa Lehulere was surrounded by a verycreative family as a child.
Hismotherwasa singerandhis cousinswere script writers, directors and actorsin film and theatre.
He has already won five awards includ-ing the first International Tiberius ArtAward Dresden, launched in 2013 as atribute to outstanding contemporary art-ists outside of Europe. Wa Lehulere hashosted four solo exhibitions, been in-volved in 50 group exhibitions and six res-idencies.
Yet he remains humble. “The most im-portant thing for me has been to read asmuch as possible, interacting with otherartists, going to see shows, going to thetheatre and watching a lot if independent
films,” Wa Lehulere says.“It is also important to keep working
and that doesn’tmeanproducingphysicalthings but researching and writing aswell.”
Wa Lehulere was initially interested inTheatre, working with the Cape TownTheatre Laboratory. He enrolled in a per-forming arts course at CAP (CommunityArts Project), but decided to change to aVisual Arts course because he wanted achallenge. Here, he garnered experiencein drawing, painting and sculpture.
From there his interest moved to newmedia and film.
“Initially I became drawn to workswhich dealt with identity politics, be-cause I could relate. I looked a lot at BerniSearle, Tracey Rose, and Thando Mama.That kind ofwork becamemy interest, in-stead of painting.”
