The beneficiaries for the Sinomonde (We are patient) housing project in Kayamandi finally received their brand new homes last Friday. The project started in 2002 where 35 residents approached Habitatfor Humanity South Africa to help them build homes for their families. The beneficiaries each contributed R100 a month towards their future homes and started engaging with the Stellenbosch Municipalityabout land ownership. They also performed Habitat’s 60 hours of “sweat equity” where they had to work a total of 60 hours on other people’s homes before qualifying for their own. In 2012, with thegroup withered down to six, the municipality agreed to give them the rights to their own land. The construction of the houses commenced in February 2013. Each house consists of a lounge, two bedroomsa bathroom and a kitchen. Here (back from left) are Rev Thumakele Gosa, deputy mayor Martin Smuts, Paul du Rand (Habitat), Brian Hilliard (Habitat); (front) and the beneficiaries Anderson Gwele, NoxoloMbambala, Nombulelo Baduza, Mercy Ndamasa, Nobafundi Mangcunyana and Mdoda Mdoda.

Stay safe this winterThe cold, wet weather during thewinter months keeps many peo-ple indoors; but in some cases noteven this is enough to keep crimi-nals at bay.There are anumber of practical

measures that can be followed toimprove your safety and that ofyour loved ones and belongings.RobDale,ManagingDirector of

ADT Security,Western Cape saidthe first step is to be more awareofwhat is going aroundyou, espe-cially in the mornings and eve-nings when it’s dark outside.“When leaving home, at any

time of the day, always ensurethat all doors and safety gates inyour home are properly lockedand that you have activated thealarm system before you shut thedoor behind you. If you are goingout alone, possibly to the shops orthe gym, it is important that youlet someone know when you ex-pect to return.”Another good idea is to never

let yourhomeappear to be empty,regardless of whether you are athome or not.“Visibility can be drastically

reducedongrey, gloomydaysandcrooks could take advantage ofthis to try to enter your property

or burgle your home. Turn on thelights in one or two rooms; possi-bly one at the front and anotherat the rear of the house.”“Also,never leavethedriveway

gate open - even if someone ishome, if it is pouring with rain orif you plan to only be away for ashort while – because criminalscould see this as an invitation tocome onto your property.”Dale added that exercising cau-

tion when driving into or out ofyourproperty isequallyas impor-tant. He said grey conditions orheavy rainfall could divert yourattention fromwhat is happeningaround you, leaving you vulnera-ble to being caught off guard bycriminals.“If you have an electric gate,

open it before you turn into yourdriveway; this will prevent hi-jackers fromboxingyou inandal-low you the chance to get away.If you have to manually open thegate, leave the key in the ignitionand the motor running. Howeveryou must take the key with youif you have a child in the car. Inthis kind of hijacking situationthe key is a valuable negotiatingtool; they want your car and youwant your child.”

Rising chicken pricesLEIGH SCHALLER

Chicken prices are set to rise drasti-cally this month and the residentsfrom Stellenbosch are not happy.The price of imported chicken is

set to rise by as much as 50 per cent.This after South Africa’s Interna-tional Trade Administration Com-mission increased duties by up to 82percent.This means that Stellenboschers

who pay R30 for a portion of meatmay soonhave to fork out R45 for thesame product.Not everyone is taking the blow ly-

ing down.BistroMeatCentre, situatedonthe

corner of Crozier and Bird Streets,has recently run a campaign to fightthe increase. The campaign allowedenraged shoppers to show their sup-port by signing a petition.Stephan Brink from the compa-

nies regional office said as many as

10 000 people have signed petitionsacross the Cape Peninsular.“The increases are absolutely ri-

diculous,” said Brink. “The chickenportions are themain thing that willbe affected. This is only the tip of theiceberg. It will also affect the foodservices industry.”Shoppersqueuing tobuygroceries

on Bird Street are also concerned.“Theycan’tmakeeverythingmore

expensive. Bread and electricityhave already gone up,” said LouiseAnthony“I remember the days where we

would raise our ownchickens. Itwasbetter then,” said Mary Pietersen.“The increase in tariffs ismeant to

support the local chicken farming in-dustry, which is shedding jobs.”Kekkel en Kraai, situated on Bird

Street, only sells South Africanchicken. They are unsure how itwillaffect their sales. “I hope our salesget better,” said owner Petro Werth.

Vroue ly die meeste in Suid-AfrikaDie gebrek aan elektrisiteit inmiljoene huishoudings in Suid-Afrika raak vroue dikwelsmeer regstreeks as mans.

Die rede is dat juis vroue vir hulhuisgesinne moet kook en hul ka-rige inkomste gebruik om ondermeer paraffien te koop, sodat hul-le dit as brandstof vir stofies kangebruik.In Suid-Afrika is die gebruik

van paraffien een van die grootoorsake van brand in huise in in-formele nedersettings.“Naramingbeloopdiekostevan

paraffienverwante beserings so-wat R104 miljard per jaar. Dit is50% meer as die jaarlikse omsetin paraffienverkope,” het Mako-ma Lekalakala van die organisa-sie Earthlife onlangs by die Femi-nist Table gesê.Die Feminist Table was ’n ge-

leentheid vir feministe in die aka-demie, asook grondvlak-aktivisteom oor sake te gesels wat vroueraak.

Die konferensiewat deur die de-partement sosiologie en sosialeantropologie van die UniversiteitStellenbosch aangebied is, is ge-borg deur die Friedrich EbertStigting.Earthlife is ’n organisasie son-

der winsbejag wat as drukgroepoor omgewingsake funksioneer.Met die tweedaagse konferensie

kon feministe vanuit die akade-mie sowel as grondvlak-aktivistebesin oor die ou en nuwe uitda-gings wat vroue daagliks te bowemoet kom.Lekalakalahet gesêdit is onaan-

vaarbaar dat groot energiever-bruikers soos die myne minderper eenheid krag betaal as die ge-wone verbruiker.Sy het beklemtoon dat vroue

aan die voorpuntmoet wees in diestryd om te verseker dat hernuba-re en ander skoon energiebronneontwikkel word.Klimaatsverandering maak dit

dringend noodsaaklik dat vroueaandring op besluite en beleidwat

ook die omgewing in ag neem – enhernubare energie is verkieslikbodie gebruikvan skadelike ener-giebronne soos steenkool en pa-raffien.“Die beskikbaarheid van ener-

gie is sentraal tot sosiale ontwik-keling,maardieprysvangoedere,insluitend kos, elektriese krag enparaffien as energiebron, stygvoortdurend. Dit word verbindmet die stygende brandstofprys.Vroue in van diemees gemargina-liseerde omgewings moet die sty-gings met karige inkomste absor-beer. Maar al word vroue so reg-streeks geraak, word hulbehoeftes geïgnoreer wanneerdaar oorbeleid rondomenergiesa-ke gepraat word.”Volgens Lekalakala moet vroue

hullebemagtigdeur seker temaakhulle verstaan die wetlike proses-se wat energiebesluite betref.Jacklyn Cock, ’n akademikus

van die Universiteit van die Wit-watersrand en lid van die insti-tuut SWOP (Society,Work andDe-

velopment) het onder meer ge-praat oor voedselonsekerheid enarmoede. Volgens haar het tot80% van die inwoners in sekeregebiede van die land nie toegangtot voldoende voedsel nie.“Aan die hoof van talle van die

huishoudings is vrouewat in alge-hele armoede lewe.”Sy het bygevoeg dat daar in

Suid-Afrika ook buitensporigeryk vroue is.Dr. Mamphela Ramphele, leier

van Agang, is byvoorbeeld eenvan die rykste vroue in Afrika enMaria Ramos, uitvoerende hoofvan ABSA, verdien luidens on-langse berigte sowat R17 miljoenper jaar.“Ek sien dit egter nie as vooruit-

gang vir vroue in die algemeennie,” het Cock gesê. “Wat doen dievroue wat topposte het en grootgeld verdien vir die gemeenskap?In Suid-Afrika word die gapingtussen ryk en arm al groter.“In die land word die konsep fe-

minisme gereduseer tot magspo-

sisies. Feminisme behoort veelmeer tewees as om ’nmagsposisiete beklee engelyke regtemetmanste hê.“Sosialistiese feminisme dui op

’n gelyke gemeenskapopalle vlak-ke. Die werklikheid in die land isegter dat vroue in magsposisiesmeer bekommerd is oor duur mo-tors en huise vir hulself as omvroue as ’n groep te help en om ’ngelyke samelewing te help bou.”

10 fast facts about litteringLittering is a problem thatstarts with the action of a sin-gleperson.We,however,haveto teachourchildrennot to lit-ter so that the environment iskept clean. Here are a fewfacts about littering and howwe can prevent it:

)Don’t throw your fast-food containers, cans or bot-tles out of a car window. Usea litter bag in your vehicle oron public transport.

)Dropping papers, pack-ets, plastic bags or other rub-bish while walking is also lit-tering.

)Why should we worryabout litter?Becauseit iscost-ing you money. Millions of

rands are spent pickingup lit-ter each year.

)Our country’s naturalbeauty is spoilt bycareless lit-tering.

)Litternot only looksugly,but it also threatens publichealthas rubbishpilesupandbecomes homes for rats andother pests.

)Litter can harm the envi-ronment by contributing tomaking the environmentdirty and poisonous. It can al-so harm animals and plants.

)Rubbish on streets,whether it is dropped on pur-pose or it falls out of an over-full dustbin, can get washedor blown into the storm

drains. The water from thestorm drains goes directly in-to our river systems, where itcancausewaterpollutionandbecomes a danger to watercreatures aswell as to plants.

)Always put your rubbishin a proper container. If thereisn’t one available, keep yourrubbish until you find one.

)If you have municipalrefuse removal in your area,put your rubbish out for col-lection as close to pick-uptime as possible.

)Make sure the bags areclosed properly so that dogsand other animals cannot getin and scatter rubbish every-where.

Foundation visits HB ThomUpon discovering that the Stel-lenboschUniversityDramaDe-partment would be putting ona performance of Rumpelstilt-skin at the HB Thom theatre,the Anna Foundation knewthey could not let this opportu-nity slide.

Almost the entire theatre wasbooked out for the Anna Founda-tion’s primary school pupils whoall live on surrounding farms inthe area.

The main character (Rumpel-stiltskin), who was also the vil-lain, proved to be rather frighten-ing to some of the younger chil-dren as he would appear on stage,out of nowhere, in a huge ball ofsmoke.

Each time one of the childrenwould pipe up: “Oh no, not thatrude man again!” or a variationthereof.

The Anna Foundation childrenbecame so caught up in the storythat during the final weddingscene all of them rose up out oftheir chairs and danced alongwithall theweddingguests,muchto the amusement of the othertheatre-goers.

After the show the childrenhadthe opportunity to meet the cast,shaking hands or exchanginghugs with their favourite charac-ters.

The Anna Foundation ispleased to report that most of thechildren made peace with “therude man”.

Some of the children seen here with the “Princess” after the play.

The children had a whale of a time at HB Thom.

Idasvallei se sokkerklubDie vier sokkerklubs in Idasvalleikyk tans na die moontlikheid om aseen saam te smelt.

’n Werkgroep bestaande uit ver-teenwoordigers van Ida’s Valley FC,Nelsons FC, United FC en VictoriaSwifts FC het reeds verskeie verga-derings gehou om hierdie inisiatiefte bespreek.

Die voorstel is dat die nuwe klub’n gemeenskapsklub sal wees wat as’n eenheid te werk gaan om beterblootstelling vir plaaslike spelers teverskaf.

Eenvandiegrootsteuitdagingsvirdie vier klubs is die situasie waarinjunior sokker hom bevind. Feitlikgeen klub het genoeg spelers om in

elke ouderdomsgroep te kan mee-ding nie en samesmelting behoorthierdie probleem uit te skakel.

Die huidige voorstel is dat elkeklubnog steeds in sy liga speel,maardit onder die vaandel van die gesa-mentlike klub doen.

Samesprekings is nog in ’n begin-stadium en die groep erken dat een-wording vir sommige ’n emosionelesaak kan wees.

Die klubs wil graag afskop met diesamestelling van ’n Bayhill o. 19-span wat die betrokke gemeenskapsal verteenwoordig.
