FLORIDA HIGH: SUPPORT FOR SCHOOL PAPER
Media roommakeover
ASTRID FEBRUARIE
@astridfebruarie
F
lorida High School learners will soon
get to enjoy their revampedmedia room
asWeCan24 stepped in to give the facili-
ty a boost.
WeCan24s Gerald Petersen says earlier in
May, 70Naspers human resource executives
from around the world, held a conference in
Cape Town and as part of the conference, the
executives wanted to do an outreach project
in the Cape Town community.
WeCan24 was asked to shortlist deserv-
ing local schools, from which they could
choose one school that would receive a
makeover, he says.
Petersen explains what made the choice
easierwas the fact these schools already had
a dedicated volunteer in the person of Mari-
anne Williams, whos involved with the
schools editorial team.
Sarepta Secondary was eventually cho-
sen as the beneficiary of the Naspers make-
over, but thanks to the projects success,Me-
dia24 CEO, Esmar Weideman, wanted to
give her executive committee a similar kind
of experience and Florida High School was
then selected after they initially missed out
against Sarepta, he says.
Petersen says initially the room was ear-
marked for a cosmetic makeover but the
principal felt that the school needed more
space for the media room that would allow
them space for break-away sessions.
The classes at Florida are rather big and
the media lab needed to be a functional
space. This was something they were going
to do after we revamped the room, so it
made sense for us to do one job. To this end,
we broke through awall to an adjacent class-
room, thus meeting their objective in the
process, he says.
He explains that the cost factor in a class-
room makeover in general is minimal.
It basically entails paint, palettes, tools,
design andwilling bodies tomake it happen.
This project required a bit more than that
since there was also construction involved.
A revamp of this nature can be anything
from R10 000 and R50 000, Petersen says.
WeCan24 gave the two classrooms a We-
Can24 facelift with paint from Tuis|Home
Magazine, as well as adding their signature
palette walls and dcor to give the rooms a
more decorative and elegant look.
Part of the revamp also includes redoing
the floors with laminated flooring to add to
elegant feel and look.

I think its a room that fosters creativity.
A space that young people can feel proud
of and no doubt will generate a sense of
pride and ownership, not only of the room
but also of their school newspaper, he
says.
Petersen says this project also speaks of
opportunity for both learners and the
school as the editorial team now knows
that if theywork hard and stay committed
to the project, WeCan24 will give them ac-
cess to all sorts of media related opportu-
nities that they otherwisewouldnot be ex-
posed to.
Building and maintaining relation-
ships are key for us. To this end, we are
always available to assist Florida and all
the other schools that we are involved
with the necessary assistance in this re-
gard, he says.
WeCan24 envisage the project to grow
more and hope to have a few more part-
ners who will take up the challenge and
provide more schools with similar make-
overs.
Companies thatwould like to join forces
can contact WeCan24 as they will be re-
vamping some more classrooms for their
2016 Madiba Day project send an mail to

A
new programme has been launched
aimed at uplifting rental stock areas
and addressing socio-economic chal-
lenges by empowering female tenants.
The City of Cape Town launched the pro-
gramme and has in the last month had 380
women recruited in nine rental stock areas
with the assistance of local ward council-
lors.
Candidates had to be legal rental stock
tenants, older than 21, and upstanding resi-
dents of their community who are willing
to participate for the duration of the pro-
gramme.
The areas in question are Ravensmead
and Uitsig as well as Athlone, Hanover
Park, Lavender Hill, Lotus River, Macas-
sar, Manenberg and Ocean View.
The Citys Mayco committee member for
social development and early childhood de-
velopment, Suzette Little says a number of
City departments have worked together to
devise a training programmewhichwill as-
sist the women.
City working with tenants
The training programme will see the
women participate in identifying and ad-
dressing safety concerns and other challen-
ges in their environment, activate service
requests related tomaintenance of the rent-
al units and surrounding roads, littering
and dumping, graffiti, provide home-based
care services to elderly residents, monitor
and address truancy, participate in clean-
ing and recycling projects, unlock econom-
ic and potential entrepreneurship opportu-
nities and participate in existing City pro-
grammes around substance abuse,
domestic violence, and strengthening fami-
lies.
There are many challenges that come
withour rental stock.This initiativehas the
City working with tenants to improve the
lives of their communities, Little says.
She explained that apart from empower-
ing the women who are part of the pro-
gramme, they also hope to secure the buy-in
of residents who are best placed to articu-
late their needs and who need to be actively
involved in addressing those needs.
The initiative has four phases. Phase one
involves engaging with different depart-
ments to develop the training and interven-
tion programme and identifying partici-
pants.
Phase two will focus on training and de-
velopment through the introduction of re-
cycling programmes and economic oppor-
tunities.
Phase three will see the women employed
through the Expanded Public Works Pro-
gramme for a six-month period (supervised
by the relevant departments), monitoring
the programme and devising an exit strate-
gy for participants.
Phase four will focus on identifying a sec-
ond group of women to participate in the
programme.
Youth component
Little says a youth component has also
been built into the programme to link
young people residing in the participating
rental stock areas with City-run youth pro-
grammes and camps through an incentive
programme.
The Citys Mayco member for human set-
tlements, Benedicta van Minnen, says the
City is the largest landlord in South Africa
and manages more than 40 000 rental units
and more than 19 000 selling scheme units.
These rental units have been home to
thousands of families across the city for
many years and we have an important re-
sponsibility to our tenants to maintain and
upgrade our rental stock, she says.
A culture of payment
To do this the City rely on rental/instal-
ment collections and they know that instill-
ing a culture of payment now will ensure
a sustainable future for all residents.
We are hoping that these female tenant-
ambassadors will also spread the message
that we need our tenants to pay to help us
to maintain our units. We need to work to-
gether, Van Minnen says.
Little says if this programme takes off in
the way the City envisage, they should see
an increase in the number of service re-
quests created, but also a general improve-
ment in the cleanliness and safety of the
rental stock areas in question.
I applaud the many City departments
who have joined this initiative, but also our
many non-governmental partners. I there-
fore appeal to all residents to help them-
selves by supporting this initiative as it
could be the blueprint for how we tackle is-
sues related to social housing in the future,
adds Little.
Women trained
to look at rentals
Police are searching for a man in-
volved in a shooting incident which
led to the death of a 19-year-old man
in Delft last week.
The incident occurred on Tuesday
31 May in Aster Street, Roosendal.
Police arrived at the scene at 21:15
where they found the body of the vic-
tim in a pool of blood.
According to witnesses, the de-
ceased was walking with a group of
friends in the road when a suspect ap-
proached them and fired at the group.
Warrant Officer Brian Daniels,
spokesperson of the Delft police, says
the victim fell to the ground and suc-
cumbed to his injuries.
He sustained multiple gunshot
wounds to his stomach and upper
body and was declared dead on the
scene by medical personnel, Daniels
says.
The suspect fled on foot and no-one
has been arrested.
Daniels says the circumstances sur-
rounding the incident are being inves-
tigated and a murder docket was
opened.
V The public is requested to contact the in
vestigating officer on 082 894 1485 or
021 954 9000 if they have any information
related to the shooting.

Phase three will see the women employed
through the Expanded Public Works Pro-
gramme for a six-month period (supervised
by the relevant departments), monitoring
the programme and devising an exit strate-
gy for participants.
Phase four will focus on identifying a sec-
ond group of women to participate in the
programme.
Youth component
Little says a youth component has also
been built into the programme to link
young people residing in the participating
rental stock areas with City-run youth pro-
grammes and camps through an incentive
programme.
The Citys Mayco member for human set-
tlements, Benedicta van Minnen, says the
City is the largest landlord in South Africa
and manages more than 40 000 rental units
and more than 19 000 selling scheme units.
These rental units have been home to
thousands of families across the city for
many years and we have an important re-
sponsibility to our tenants to maintain and
upgrade our rental stock, she says.
A culture of payment
To do this the City rely on rental/instal-
ment collections and they know that instill-
ing a culture of payment now will ensure
a sustainable future for all residents.
We are hoping that these female tenant-
ambassadors will also spread the message
that we need our tenants to pay to help us
to maintain our units. We need to work to-
gether, Van Minnen says.
Little says if this programme takes off in
the way the City envisage, they should see
an increase in the number of service re-
quests created, but also a general improve-
ment in the cleanliness and safety of the
rental stock areas in question.
I applaud the many City departments
who have joined this initiative, but also our
many non-governmental partners. I there-
fore appeal to all residents to help them-
selves by supporting this initiative as it
could be the blueprint for how we tackle is-
sues related to social housing in the future,
adds Little.
Women trained
to look at rentals
Police are searching for a man in-
volved in a shooting incident which
led to the death of a 19-year-old man
in Delft last week.
The incident occurred on Tuesday
31 May in Aster Street, Roosendal.

the victim fell to the ground and suc-
cumbed to his injuries.
He sustained multiple gunshot
wounds to his stomach and upper
body and was declared dead on the
scene by medical personnel, Daniels
says.

or the first time theRavensmeadPolice
Station will have public parking space
making it more convenient for visitors
to the station.
Ward councillor Beverley van Reenen
says the parking will significantly reduce
the number of cars parking on pavements
constantly blocking the road which create
a lot of traffic.
This project is much needed as there has
never been parking available for the public.
People mostly walk to the station perhaps
to avoid having to search for a spot to park,
says Van Reenen.
She says the request for the parking was
raised at the Community Policing Forum
(CPF) meeting, thereafter Van Reenen sub-
mitted the request to the Transport for Cape
Town Department.
I amvery pleased that the projectwas ap-
proved and that construction on has begun.
I think the community will be very pleased
with the work and the new parking, she
says.
Riyaaz Ismail, acting secretary of theRav-
ensmead CPF, says residents and the CPF
welcome the added parking.
Visitors to the police station are always
plentiful, causing traffic chaos in the vicini-
ty so the parking area will definitely make
a difference, he says.
Meanwhile several streets were recently
revamped to improve the surface of the
roads.
Van Reenen says the cost of the reseal
work was R1.22 million.
The resurfacing work was done on Claire
Street, Bundoran Close, Belacre Close, Belt-
ra Close, Barna Close in Connaught Estate
aswell as sections on 7thAvenue inRavens-
mead.
These roads were badly damaged and
needed to be resealed in time for winter as
wedonotwantmotorists damaging their ve-
hicles or pedestrians walking through mud
and step into potholes, Van Reenen told
TygerBurger.
The resealingworkwasdoneduringMon-
day 18 and Friday 29 April.
Furtherwork in the area is envisaged for
the 2016 2017 financial year to ensure we
cover as many of the damaged road in the
community, she says.

A
new pair of shoes can re-
ally build a childs confi-
dence.
This according to proportional
representative councillor Gerald
Siljeur of ward 6 as he is running
a campaign to provide children in
disadvantaged communities with
brand new school shoes.
To some it may only be a pair
of shoes, but to many a pair of
shoes can make a world of differ-
ence in the way they carry them-
selves, he says.
About two years ago Siljeur part-
nered with several people and
managed to hand out about 350 to
500 pairs of new school shoes to
schools in Uitsig, Manenberg, La-
vis Town and as far as Hout Bay.
This year he will be handing
over several pairs of shoes to
Belvue Primary School after he
spoke to the principal who identi-
fied a few of learners who are in
dire need of new school shoes.
I know exactly what it feels like
to wear hand-me-downs, broken
shoes or even no shoes. Although
you are grateful for what you get,
it is always a great feeling to have
something of your own; something
new, Siljeur says.
We need to support each other
when we can, and through this
campaign I hope there are people,
organisations or businesses who
will put their hand in their own
pocket and support this initiative,
he says.
Siljeur says anyone is welcome
to support the campaign by either
purchasing a pair of school shoes,
socks or both.
A pair of new school shoes will
put a smile on a childs face and
will boost their confidence. They
will feel better about their appear-
ance andwill instead focus on their
school work than on their feet and
what they lack inmaterial things,
he says.

this campaign can contact the councillor

A
Helderkruin Primary School in Kle-
invlei, Eerste River drum majorette
will soon be off to Germiston in Gaut-
eng where she and her teamwill be compet-
ing in a national drum majorette competi-
tion.
Chazney van Schalkwyk is one of the
schools teammembers who will be partici-
pating in the competition fromMonday 4 to
Monday 11 July.
To get to Johannesburg though Chazney
has to raise a significant amount of money,
her mother, Blanche van Schalkwyk, says.
The cost of the tour is about R5 000 per
person and all 34 team members are going,
she adds.
This weekend a karaoke was held at the
Blue Downs Golf Club to help Chazney get
to where she needs to be in July. We just
thought we can somehow raise some mon-
ey. We still have some funds to collect,
Blanche says.
The money they raise will be used to pur-
chase props and a uniform and to cover her
travelling costs.
The Helderkruin Primary School drum-
mies have been in existence since 1999. Dur-
ing this time the team have participated in
all the Western Cape competitions. The
team is associated to the Western Province
Majorettes and Cheerleading Association
andhavebeencompetingonanational level
since 2003.
At the 2014 national competition we
were crowned champions in the premier
league. Six of our team members obtained
their Western Province colours.
AmyMalgas, another teammember, ob-
tained her South African national colours
and was part of the team who represented
South Africa at an international competi-
tion in Croatia, Blanche adds.

A
Helderkruin Primary School in Kle-
invlei, Eerste River drum majorette
will soon be off to Germiston in Gaut-
eng where she and her teamwill be compet-
ing in a national drum majorette competi-
tion.
Chazney van Schalkwyk is one of the
schools teammembers who will be partici-
pating in the competition fromMonday 4 to
Monday 11 July.
To get to Johannesburg though Chazney
has to raise a significant amount of money,
her mother, Blanche van Schalkwyk, says.
The cost of the tour is about R5 000 per
person and all 34 team members are going,
she adds.
This weekend a karaoke was held at the
Blue Downs Golf Club to help Chazney get
to where she needs to be in July. We just
thought we can somehow raise some mon-
ey. We still have some funds to collect,
Blanche says.
The money they raise will be used to pur-
chase props and a uniform and to cover her
travelling costs.
The Helderkruin Primary School drum-
mies have been in existence since 1999. Dur-
ing this time the team have participated in
all the Western Cape competitions. The
team is associated to the Western Province
Majorettes and Cheerleading Association
andhavebeencompetingonanational level
since 2003.
At the 2014 national competition we
were crowned champions in the premier
league. Six of our team members obtained
their Western Province colours.
AmyMalgas, another teammember, ob-
tained her South African national colours
and was part of the team who represented
South Africa at an international competi-
tion in Croatia, Blanche adds.
She says the team is actively involved in
the community.

O
ver 200 disabled residents could lose
their places in the Citys disabled
transport system after they refused to
undergo compulsory medical reassess-
ments.
They feel that these assessments done by
occupational therapists and paid for by tax-
payers money, are a blatant public wastage
that could be better used addressing the real
problem, namely a shortage of buses.
If you have been blind your whole life,
and have been classified as such, why now
be assessed?
It makes no sense. When we applied we
were already assessed. Now we have to be
assessed again and every five years thereaft-
er. Rather use that money to procure more
sorely needed buses, says Luwie Links from
Kraaifontein.
Links,who is completely blind, is employed
at the telecommunications department at the
Western Cape Government complex in town
and has been using this service to commute
to work from 2002.
He is also amember of a forum that is rally-
ing the city for a better service and disputing
the new regulations.
Millions have been spent and are still be-
ing spent to roll out the MyCiTi buses across
Cape Town, while very little is invested to the
Dial-a-Ride service we as disabled people
have become completely dependant on, he
says.
On Thursday 28 April, the members of the
Dial-a-Ride users forum, who dispute the new
regulations which include the medical as-
sessments, marched to the office of Helen
Zille, premier of the Western Cape, where
a memorandum was handed over.
In this memorandum they stated that
there was an urgent need for more buses
for the Dial-a-Ride system that reduced
their buses from 34 to 21 without consider-
ing the impact it will have on daily users.
More than half of the disabled commut-
ers arrive late at work every day. And by
this I dont mean five or ten minutes late
they are hours late, he said in an inter-
view with TygerBurger.
He attributes this problem to the fact that
the fewer, albeit bigger, vehicles have to
makemore trips, thus causing long delays.
They pickme up at 05:20 and from there
travel to Kuils River and then to the City.
After dropping us off at about 07:15, they
leave forAtlantis and other distant regions
to fetch a second load of commuters.
These commuters only get towork as late
as 11:30.
When the project started in 1999 they had
34 vehicles which, according to Links,
could transport six passengers of whom
three were in wheelchairs.
Today, after contracting a new compa-
ny, they use only 21 vehicles that can trans-
port more people five in wheelchairs and
three others. The problem is the bus has to
stop atmore homes causingmany commut-
ers to be late, he says.
Passengers are forced to spend more
than two hours in the buswhile drivers are
not allowed to stop along the routes for pas-
sengers to use the bathroom.
Apart from this there are still thou-
sands of people including school children
on a waiting list, and we want to know
what the City is going to do about this?
The forum demanded to be included in
future decision making of their transport.
Surely the input of a disabled person is
needed when making decisions that affect
their lives?
We stated all our concerns, but to this
day it seems that we are being ignored.
Links alleges that the introduction of as-
sessments is only sidetracking from the re-
al issue a shortage of vehicles, something
the City vehemently denies.
The Dial-a-Ride service has a limited
budget and therefore a limited capacity.
Given these constraints, the service is for
the exclusive use by those who have been
assessed by an occupational therapist as
being unable to access conventional public
transport services, saysMaycomember for
transport, Brett Herron, explaining the rea-
son for the compulsory reassessment project
launched in 2014.
We have to make sure that those who are
on the service are in fact unable tomake use
of regular public transport. In the end the
Dial-a-Ride service will providemobility on-
ly for those who are assessed as not being
able to use public transport, including the
universally accessible MyCiTi service.
TheMyCiTi system is designed to be uni-
versally accessible this means the MyCiTi
service is provided for both able-bodied com-
muters and those with special needs. Sta-
tions and stops are designed for the visually
impaired. As theMyCiTi service expands its
footprint, bringing universally accessible
public transport to more and more people,
so the total dependency on Dial-a-Ride for
mobility will be reduced and eliminated for
many eligible Dial-a-Ride users, he says.
V DialARide users can report complaints to the
Transport Information Centre on 0800 65 64 63.
Complainantswill be issuedwith a reference number
and will receive feedback.
New testsmake no sense, say disabled
Louis Links with his guide dog, Disney. With the
Citys new regulations for its disabled transport
system, he risks losing his daily transport.

E
ntries for the 28th Entrepreneur of the
Year competition sponsored by San-
lam and Business/Partners are now
open to entrepreneurs from all industries
and for businesses of any size.
Theresa Cupido from Bellville won the
Job Creator Award in the 2014 competition.
Her business idea sparked in 2005 while
listening to a debate on the radio about the
shortage of black South African female en-
trepreneurs and the need for infrastructure
in the country leading up to the 2010 Soccer
World Cup.
Owning a business and empowering peo-
ple have always been Theresas dream as
she grew up in a family of busi-
ness-minded individuals.
At the time, she was assisting
her husband in writing reports
for the Road Accident Fund and
it was through her involvement
with the fund that she developed
an interest in the road marking
industry. She then decided to
start her own business in the
road marking and civil engineer-
ing field.
The group offers local, regional
and national authorities, con-
tractors and consultants a cost ef-
fective service that complieswith
legal requirements and meets
professional standards.
Since its establishment in Au-
gust 2006, her company, ATN
Group, has undertaken a number
of projects for the Department of
Transport, City of Cape Town,
severalmunicipalities, civil engi-
neers and large property compa-
nies, and today she employs be-
tween 250 and 300 staff.
Despite tough economic times, the effects
of which are most clearly seen in smaller
communities, entrepreneurs are ready and
able to identify and capitalise on opportuni-
ties created by gaps in the market.
While very rewarding, entrepreneurship
can be a tough journey, and entrepreneurs
need support to grow their businesses to
levels at which they can positively contrib-
ute to job creation and economic growth.
This is especially true for business own-
ers in small towns and more rural commu-
nities who dont have the overwhelming
support of big business or the public sector.
These entrepreneurs, who like many, start
their business journeys in a room in their
homes, a garage, or backyarddwelling and
work tenaciously to achieve their goals
are the entrepreneurs who should be cele-
brated as the heroes of their communities.
The annual competition aims to celebrate
entrepreneurial excellence, and through
the awareness generated for the 2016 en-
trants and winners, raise the profile of en-
trepreneurship in South Africa and influ-
ence the development of the SME sector.
Gugu Mjadu, spokesperson for the 2016
Entrepreneur of the Year competition, says
entering business competitions affords en-
trepreneurs the opportunity to look at their
business froma different perspective and to
gain valuable insight into its successes and
failures. This is apart, of course, from any
cash prize money which could be used for
funding the growth of the business, as well
as the invaluable national marketing the
entrepreneur and their business will re-
ceive by being named a finalist or winner
something that is often out of reach for
small businesses.
Entering such a competition carries im-
mense value with the ease of access to busi-
ness experts, creation of a broader business
network and increase in the profile of the
business, and brings about the possibility
of a cash injection into the businesss finan-
ces and/or growth prospects, says Mjadu.
Entries close on Thursday 16
