Joyce Mtyumza, the Director ofNew Dawn Pre-school Day Care Cen-tre, which is based at No.12 GovanMbeki Avenue, Port Elizabeth be-lieves in the empowering of youngpeople through education. To her,New Dawn Pre-school and Day CareCentre, a registeredNon-profitOrgan-isation (NPO) will provide childrenwhose parents work in and aroundGovan Mbeki Avenue, with an idealinstitution that will look well aftertheir educational needs – while par-ents are at work.
According to Matyumza, the man-agement of the school have been toy-ing with the concept of starting aschool in the area for a long time, butstarted the ball rolling only from Sep-tember last year.
“We promise to give our pupils thebest service,” said Matyumza. To dothis they will introduce programmesof which some are aimed at helpingchildren to study at a very young age.
“We’ll also teach kids from 5-yearsof age how to use a computer mouse.We’ll give them information about hu-man rights and a lot more about drugabuse.
Matyumza told PE Express Indaba
that the programmes she made men-tion of were currently being taught toteachers and that she was really de-lighted that they as a pre-school willbe teaching things that are taught toteachers.
Admissions to the school havestarted at R650 per month. The schoolstarts at 7.30am until 5.30pm but par-ents who want to bring children 30minutes earlier are allowed to do so,said Matyumza. Tuition is in English.

A PORT Elizabeth man who reporteda case of robbery to the police after helost his cell phone was arrested forcommitting perjury (or lying to thestate).
The 36-year old man from Mother-well township opened a case of rob-
bery of a cellular phone. The case wasopened and investigated, confirmedMotherwell Police Station spokesper-son, Warrant Officer Dumile Gwavu.
“Police investigations revealed thatthe complainant was never robbed ofa cell-phone; instead the cell-phonewas lost in a Jikeleza taxi. The man de-cided to opena case of robberybecausehe wanted to claim the cellphone from
his insurance,” according to w.o Gwa-vu.
The cell-phone was apparently be-ing used by someone else. It was tracedand is now being kept by the police.
“We have opened a case of perjuryagainst the 36-year old complainant,”said Gwavu, adding that it was wrongfor people to lie to the law in order tosatisfy their own selfish needs.

A FOCUSSED Nelson Mandela Bayyouth, Thembelani Wiseman Gun-ya, has qualified as a chef from theSouth African Chefs Academy mov-ing closer to realising his dream ofowning a restaurant one day.
Thembelani (22) of KwaNobuhlein Uitenhage will be recorded in thehistory books as the second UmziWethu graduate to receive a grantto study further and graduate at thefamous Chefs Academy in CapeTown in December 2011.
This young man passed matric in2007, doing exceptionally well inMaths and Science. But financialconstraints stopped him from pursu-ing a career in mechanical engineer-ing at a college in Uitenhage and ashe put it: ‘I was (also) not passionateenough about the course.” So, he
started looking for other avenues.At this time he heard about Umzi
Wethu, a social investment projectby the Wilderness Foundationwhich focuses on securing sustain-able job placements in hospitalityand eco-tourism establishments forresilient, motivated youth dis-placed by HIV/Aids.
Thembelani admitted to havingtaken a gamble because he had onlyever cooked very simple meals athome and was not very passionateabout cooking or the environment.But the bug bit him, nonetheless.
After graduating in 2008, Them-belani worked for Lion Roars Pri-vate Game Reserve for two years.Umzi Wethu advised him to applyfor scholarship in order to furtherhis studies in Cape Town and hewas successful in his application.
“Thembelani has always shown ahigh level of commitment to the
Umzi Wethu Programme and hiswork ethic has been outstanding.He excelled in his job as a commischef at the Lion Roars game reservewhich led to us nominating him forthe scholarship to the SA ChefsAcademy,” said Umzi Wethu Acad-emy Manager, Paul Longe.
An equally elated Thembelanihad all the praise for Umzi Wethufor helping him in his studies.
“I am so grateful to have had myexperience at Umzi Wethu. Withoutit, I would not be the person I amtoday. Not only do they do skillstraining, but the life skills trainingreally changed me. I am much moreconfident than I ever was, and I feellike I can make a difference in theworld,” said Thembelani. Hethanked his two lecturers, PaulHartmann and Garth Stroebelwhom he called his “chef heroes”that he would like to emulate.

Prospective students should notdespair owing to limited places at
universitiesPUBLIC sector universities and FET Collegeswill never be able to meet the massive demandfor places, but prospective students who havenot been admitted to these institutions shouldnot despair, as there are other quality optionsavailable.
Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of the Inde-pendent Institute of Education, says that evenwith the significant increase in the numbers ofpost-school opportunities made available by thepublic sector,manystudentswill not gainaccessto their institution of first choice, as demand faroutstrips supply.
According to recent reports, the University ofPretoria fielded 40 000 applications for 13 000available places; the University of the Witwa-tersrand fielded 30 000 applications vying for5 500 places, the University of KwaZulu Natal re-ceived 61 500 applications where only 9 000 plac-es exist, and the University of the Free State re-ceived 13 000 applications for 4 000 places.
Not only is there fierce competition for placesfor students who apply on time, but most institu-tions do not accept late applications, Coughlansays.
This means that, for students who do better orworse than they expected to, there is very littleroom to move in the public sector at this stage.
Coughlan says that prospective students areoften not aware of the additional choices availa-ble to them beyond approaching a public univer-sity, but adds that while many opportunities ex-ist in the private sector, it is important to ensureenrolment at an accredited institution whose de-grees and qualifications are widely recognised.
“In a statement released by the Minister ofHigher Education and Training before the re-sults were released, the existence of higher edu-cationopportunities in theprivatehighereduca-tion sector was acknowledged.
TheDepartment, however, cautioned that stu-dents should check the status of the institution
at which they wish to register prior to enrollingor paying any money,” Coughlan advises.
“This is sound advice, and should be extendedto include cautioning students also to check thestatus of the actual qualification for which theywish to register, aswell as thequalityof the cam-pus and service offered.
“Qualityassuranceandaccreditationofquali-fications and registration of private institutionsare related but not identical processes, and it ispossible that a registered private higher educa-tion institution’s programmes may not all be ful-ly accredited or registered higher education pro-grammes,” Coughlan says.
A list of registered private higher educationinstitutions is available on the website of the de-partment concerned, as well as the SAQA web-site.
Furthermore, all private institutions are re-quired to display their registration certificates intheir reception areas.
But Coughlan warns that students should gofurther than ensuring that their institution isregistered and accredited.
“In both the public and private sectors, stu-dents will do well to visit campuses and speaktoexistingstudents toensure that the institutionwill meet their specific needs,” Coughlan says.
“Private institutions generally offer smallercampuses, smaller classes and qualificationsthat are more focused on the world of work,” shesays.
“While some private institutions offer qualifi-cations in niche areas only, others offer generalacademic and degree qualifications similar topublic university qualifications, so it is impor-tant to understand both what you need and whatis being offered.”
Coughlan acknowledges that private institu-tions may sometimes be more expensive, butsays that learners’ financial circumstances aretaken into consideration and accommodated.

AN avalanche of goals against thevisiting Bush Bucks FC at the Gel-vandale Stadium on Saturday en-sured that the Nelson Mandela BayProfessional Soccer League (PSL)hopefuls Bay Stars FC lead the Voda-com League standing by two points.
Playing their second league matchin the space of a week, Bay Starsshowed no sign of fatigue when theythrashed the visitors 7-0. The firstgoal of the match was scored by
Lutho Totwana in five minutes fromtime. Wade Jooste wrote his name onthe score-board to make it 2-0. Fa-rouk Abrahams scored a goal withJohn Giannakis coming in to scoreand Totwana taking his second in thematch to make it 5-0.

Local coach puts women’sfootball on the map
SELBY MADIKANE
KWAZAKHELE-born Mzwan-dile Knox Faas has made him-self a name in the footballcoaching fraternity across thecountry.
Knox is the current coach of theSouth African Football Associa-tion (SAFA) Eastern Cape Wom-en’s Team. To date, Knox’s coach-ing skillsmade theprovinceof theEastern Cape proud. As such, theEC women’s team under Knox’smentorship won SA games whenthey beat Mpumalanga Provincein Polokwane in the LimpopoProvince in October 2011.
But before taking nationalhonours, Knox demonstrated hiscoaching prowess when thewomen’s team of the Easterncape whacked Gauteng Province3-1 in the Absa National Tourna-
ment finals held in Durban duringWomen’s Month (August) last year.
Knox started coaching football inthe late 1980s working with schoolcoaches in his community and thejunior teams of Dynamos, his teamthereafter. Knox played an instru-
mental role in introducing foot-ball to Ebongweni PrimarySchool girls’ team and Sophaka-ma Ladies Football Club.
PE Express Indaba wanted toknowhis recipe for success andhesaid: “Dedication, discipline anddetermination play a huge role inone’s success. If you want to win,you must have passion and be pre-pared to work very hard.”
