Defaulting dads brought to bookDESIRÉE RORKE
@dezzierorke
Parents, more particularly fathers, whodefault on their maintenance pay-ments, have got another thing coming
with a newwave of activism against this ag-es-old issue.Initiated by the Democratic Alliance’s
Women’s Network (DAWN) and supportedby other political parties in cabinet, themovement symbolised by the wearing of ablue sash around the shoulder has madeplenty of headway in only six weeks.Member of Parliament and leader of
DAWNDenise Robinson of Durbanville lastweek spoke to People’s Post about the objec-tives of the campaign.
FatherlessRobinson says asmuch as 48%of children
in South Africa grow up either without amother or a father and that in tens of thou-sands of these cases, the absent parent doesnot honour their responsibility to pay childmaintenance.“This adds to the downward cycle of pov-
erty as many of these children are then de-nied a proper education,” she says.She adds that this is the single biggest ob-
stacle against these children to successfullyaccessing opportunities for education, jobsand a normal adult life.“A little more than a month from launch-
ing the campaign, DAWN, along with thejustice department, National Credit Regula-tor, credit bureax and the Department ofTrade and Industry, have managed to tight-en up on credit regulations that will see toit that maintenance defaulters are broughtto book,” she tells People’s Post.In consultation with the above entities,
new draft regulations for the credit indus-try will now provide for maintenance de-faults to stay on a person’s credit record forfive years, or until a court rescinds a defaultjudgement.Furthermore, maintenance payments
will have to be included in all affordabilityassessments completed when applying fornew loans and clients will be required to de-clare if they have any maintenance defaultjudgements against them.
Two-pronged approachRobinson says these draft amendments
were published in the Governemnt Gazettethree weeks ago for public input, afterwhich it will be promulgated.In addition to this, the Department of Jus-
tice has also drafted a bill to amend theMaintenanceAct, thatwill enable credit bu-reaus to trackdownmaintenancedefaulterswho can’t be found by the courts.This bill will empower credit bureaux to
fortifymaintenance judgements to affect de-faulters’ credit records.But the fight does not stop here and is
based on a two-pronged approach, the otheraddressing the issue of the efficiency of themaintenance courts.“Women often have to take off work,
spend a lot of travelling money and sit inlines for hours at the maintenance courts,while the perpetrators make a mockery ofjustice. This has to stop and we havelaunched an investigation into all aspects to
address the situation,” she says.
PressureSeveral maintenance courts in Cape
Town have already been visited by Robin-son and DAWN has started to apply pres-sure for the justice department to obtainmore funding. “There simply are notenough courts, investigators, prosecutorsor social workers to deal with the unnatu-rally high case load of maintenance cases.More money will have to be made availableby government,” she said.With the investigation, Robinson is also
working toward setting up a “court watch”to monitor the workings of maintenancecourts.“We have to hold the courts accountable
and take up the fight for all single parentswhere the system might have left themdown.”V Denise Robinson can be reached at denis[email protected] for any input or enquiries.

CRIME: NEWLY DONATED KITS STOLEN
Thieves getthe red cardSAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
They had barely finished their firstmatch in their new kits when thievesstole their newly-donated gear.
Now the coach of Wolverhampton FC is ap-pealing to all to help him retrieve the expen-sive uniforms they battled to obtain.
Derron Crouch, under-17 coach at theChukker Road-based club, says the bag con-taining the team’s full kit was stolen fromhis car in the early hours of Sunday morn-ing.
“The team was very excited to play in theirfirst match on Saturday and it created a lotof hype for them. I got home late that nightand locked the car behind a locked gate.When I woke up I found the window hadbeen smashed and the door and gate wereopen. At first I thought they only took theradio, but I discovered the bag was also gonefrom the boot,” he says.
The bag had 15 sets of branded socks, jer-seys and shorts valued at R7 000.
He says with the gear came team spirit.“Our old gear was mismatched and had no
socks or shorts. We will have to get togetherthe old jerseys to play in but we didn’t looklike a team. And if you don’t look like a teamyou don’t play like a team. So it isn’t the idealsituation,” he says.
The club has over 60 children from Hano-ver Park and cannot afford to replace thegear, Crouch says.
“These kids cannot afford to buy their own
gear and the club is not in the financial posi-tion to replace it either. A reward is beingoffered for information leading to the recov-ery of the kit. Our main aim is to recoverit because no other team will be able to useit in any case,” he says.
If you would like to get involved by donat-ing gear or equipment to the club, phoneCrouch on 061 420 7905 or club chairpersonGrant Peters on 084 451 3741.
If you have any information on the inci-dent phone Detective Kedama at the PhilippiPolice Station on (021) 690 1554 Casenumber: 346/8/2014.
FOUL PLAY: This new kit was stolen from the carof the under-17 Wolverhampton FC coach DerronCrouch in Lonedown Road, Hanover Park.

GROENVLEI HIGH: MATRICS’ CANCER AWARENESS DRIVE
Power of positivitySAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
We want to berememberedfor our good
deeds.This is the stance ofa group of matricu-lants at GroenvleiHigh School.Following the ex-ample of two classesbefore them, theyoungsters adopted acause for the year andset out to raise fundsas a donation.With cancer aware-ness chosen as theircampaign, the 12 pupils set out to plan astring of fundraisers which brought inR20 000.Chaern Golding says they are not surewhen the donation will be made.“We have a few expenses to be deductedbut after that we will know what the totalis. We aren’t sure when the final hand overwill be because we don’t have a beneficiarychosen yet,” he says.Ganiefah Sapat says it was a tough chal-lenge at first butwaswelcomedas the groupalso raised awareness for the causethroughout the year.“We were really stressed out and it wasreally difficult seeing that we have examsand all, but it was a success and we enjoyedit. Alsoweknowwearemaking a differenceand that’s what matters,” Sapat says.The group raised their funds by sellingawareness ribbons, by means of a Go Pinkdrive and a 12-hour dance-a-thon held at theschool hall.“We didn’t have much expensesfor the dance-a-thon and that’s where weraised the bulk of our money. It was aimedat the surrounding schools and our own pu-
pils. Everyone had so much fun and mosttried to last all night but it became a chal-lenge to stay awake after a few hours,” saysMusfiqa Simon.She says the event was a huge success be-cause of the significant roleplayers andsponsors such as the Groenvlei Neighbour-hood Watch, Lansdowne police and localmedia.Byron Davids says it is all about leavinga legacy.“Wewant to get people to rememberwhatour class did so that they can strive to dothe same if not better,” he says“We have set the bar really high and wedon’t want to just leave it there. We wantto come back and continue with the projectand help the next class to do better, biggerthings,” Aqeela Barron adds.School principalWalter Adams says theyare extremely proud of the pupils and whatthey have accomplished in such a shorttime.But the pupils say it is not about thepraise, but about changing lives and reallymaking a lasting difference.

Kia revealsSA-boundSorentoWHEELS24
Kia has released the first images of itsnew Kia Sorento.
The photos show a striking, moremature appearance, with bold, swept-backstyling as well as sophisticated surface de-tailing.
Kia South Africa says the new Sorentowill arrive locally during the first quarterof 2015.
Dimensions have increased in length(+95mm to 4.78m) and a 15mm reduction inheight (down to 1.68m), while the 80mmlonger wheelbase at 2.78m makes for moreleg room in all three seat rows.
Its new design is an evolution of the cur-rent vehicle, says Kia, incorporating“fresh, visual elements inspired by the KiaCross GT concept” that made its debut atthe 2013 Chicago Auto Show.
In terms of design, the front of the car fea-tures a larger, more upright ‘tiger-nose’
grille, with a distinctive three-dimensionaldiamond pattern, and long, swept-backheadlights.
The lower roofline, higher beltline andmore muscular, rounded shoulders at therear give the car a more dramatic appear-ance.
Kia’s vice-president of overseas market-ing Soon-Nam Lee says: “While we have re-tained the name based on the tremendoussuccess of the current model, the all-newSorento has been completely redesignedand re-engineered, and promises to sur-prise customers with its thoroughly updat-ed styling, a host of new convenience andsafety technologies, as well as enhancedspace, driving comfort and handling re-sponse.”
The all-new Kia Sorento will be show-cased in Korea in late August.
It will make its European premiere onThursday 2 October at the 2014 Paris MotorShow.

EDUCATION: PIONEER RETIRES
Celebrating 35 years in ECDSAMANTHA LEE
@samantha_Lee121
An ECD visionary and pioneer haspassed on the reigns to the next genera-tion.
After 35 years in the industry, LindaBiersteker hasbeenhonoured for loyal serv-ice and development in the sector.
This comes as Biersteker retires from theindustry and the Early Learning ResourceUnit (Elru).
“I will still be a part of the industry andthe organisation, but I wish to do so in a dif-ferent way. It’s time for me to move on andlet the youngsters take it forward,” she says.
The humble Biersteker blushed, laughedand cried as the Elru staff and friends smoth-ered her with compliments and praised herachievements in taking the industry for-ward.
Elru took the opportunity to bid farewellto the pioneer at their 36th annual meetingon Friday. Director Tracey van der Heydesays she is sad to see her go.
“You have done so much for the industryand have put South Africa on the map inter-nationally for ECD. Thank you for choosingElru and moving the industry forward withyour visionary outlook,” she said.
Biersteker was instrumental in regulat-ing and expanding the modern ECD curricu-
lum implemented today.But according to her co-workers, she nev-
er takes credit for her achievements.“I happened to stumble across this field
when a lecturer told us he had projects forus way back in the 1970s. I remember beingso glad because I didn’t need to come up withone,” she says.
With tears in her eyes Biersteker thankedher husband and children for their contribu-tions to success and followed by a standingovation continued to sing a cultural songpopular within the organisation.
“My time has come to take a less activerole,” says Biersteker. “ I look forward to seewhat comes next.”

Batting for future gloryTASMIN CUPIDO@TazzCup
Their goal is to build Windsor High Schoolinto a cricketing force in the Cape Peninsu-la. But for now they plan to lay the founda-tion to achieve this objective.
Two Windsor High old boys have joinedforces to reconstruct the school’s formercricketing glory. Grant Knipe and BrendanJohn Dalton have established an under-15cricket team at the Rondebosch East school.The team was started in January, afterKnipe realised the school only had an under-19 boys team.
“At the first meeting, we only had 17 boysshow their interest,” Knipe says.
“Since then, the numbers have grown and
we now have 38 boys who want to play.”The team will be entered into a Western
Province Cricket Association under-15league for the 2014/2015 season.
Since commencement, the team hasplayed a number of friendly matches againstschools in the Southern Suburbs. They haveshowed their steel against the under-15teams of schools such as Livingstone andWynberg high schools.
“They have been successful on the field,”Knipe says.
“That’s why we want to enter the team in-to a competitive league, so that they cancompete with players of their calibre.”
And despite only being in operation forclose to eight months, the team alreadyboasts with a WP representative – all-rounder Jaryd Daries is part of the WP un-der-15 winter training squad. The 15-year-old, who also captains the side, is a left-armspinner and can bat anywhere on the battingorder.
Knipe, who is a parent at the school andwas also involved in cricket at Kenwyn Pri-mary School, says cricket has led to boys be-ing more enthusiastic about school. He andDalton, who is also the team’s sponsor, willcommence cricket training with the boys inthe next couple of weeks.
“We are doing this to give the boys some-thing extra to do; to keep them off the streets.Being part of the cricket team has enhancedtheir schoolwork and they have more inter-est to attend school,” Knipe says.
“We have received tremendous supportfrom the principal and staff, so we hope tocontinue this initiative in future. We wantto get the school’s cricket back to the stand-ard when we were pupils here.”
And then they want to take the school tothe top flight of school’s cricket in the WP.“In the long term, we want the boys to com-pete against [schools such as] RondeboschBoys, Bishops and Wynberg Boys,” Knipesays. “In the short term, we want at least fiveplayers in the WP winter groups and threein the final WP teams.”
