Business engages in the future heritage of Stellenbosch
To weave the social fabric of Stellenbosch into an inclusive community where everyone knows, appreciates and respects one another was the main theme of a business workshop presented by the e’Bosch Heritage Project at Stellenbosch.
The workshop, sponsored by Distell for the second consecutive year as part of the e’Bosch Heritage Project festivities during the month of September was facilitated by Thandi Chaane, an expert change-enabler.
Ms Chaane works with communities throughout the African continent on human rights, transformation and cultural diversity shared her personal experience from the 1976 uprising to her current involvement in the South African business sector. She provided a constructive backdrop to the understanding of our current political, economic and social challenges and the effect it might have on our future.
The event focused on South Africa’s social heritage, how it impacts business and communities and how we may build a sustainable future heritage despite a changing political, economic and social environment.
“The vision of the e’Bosch Heritage Project is to weave the social fabric of Stellenbosch into an inclusive community where everyone knows, appreciates and respects one another. Distell’s support is invaluable to the project’s progress thus far and we believe that ultimately the business community can achieve significant return on investment in the social fabric of Stellenbosch,” says Dr Sias Mostert, chairperson of the e’Bosch Heritage Project executive committee.
“As business in Stellenbosch, it is important to support initiatives that build on the social fabric of this beautiful community. We appreciate the contributions of the facilitator Thandi Chaane, an educator by heart, who delivered an inspiring message which brings South African history to life through her personal experiences and encounters,” says Nichole Solomons, Manager: Distell Sustainable Socio-Economic Development
“Many light and intense moments were shared but it is up to those who live, work and play in Stellenbosch to take their learnings to heart and move forward. The workshop was experienced as inspirational, sincere and action-driven by all,” says Ms Solomons.

‘n Rekordgetal van sowat 1100 leerders van 24 skole uit die Stellenbosch- en Franschhoek-omgewing sal vanjaar aan die e’Bosch-skoolkoorfees deelneem.
Afgesien van die feit dat dit die grootste deelname verteenwoordig sedert die skoolkoorfees in 2012 vir die eerste keer aangebied is, bereik hierdie vlagskip-aanbieding van e’Bosch vanjaar ook sy hoogste vlak van professionelealiteit ondersteuning tot dusver. Koorleiers by die verskeieonderskeie skole ontvang vanjaar afrigting van onder meer Stellenbosch Universiteit se musiekdepartment en praktiese ondersteuning via Maties Gemeenskapsdiens.
“Die belangstelling vanjaar getuig weereens van die behoefte aan so ‘n geleentheid, waar kinders deur deelname aan koorsang sonder die druk van kompetisie op spontane wyse mekaar leer ken, karakter bou, innerlike verryking ervaar en hul samehorigheid as Stellenbosch se jeug kan vier,” sê Johann Murray, voorsitter van die e’Bosch-reëlingskomitee en koördineerder van vanjaar se koorfeeste.

Die Maties Gemeenskapdiens mobiliseer verder studente vir 10 van die skole wat koorleiers met afrigting en begeleiding bystaan,” sê mnr. Murray.

Stellenbosch se e’Bosch-erfenisprojek is ‘n unieke inklusiewe beweging wat gemik is op die vestiging van ‘n kultuur van vrywillige deelname aan genotvolle geleenthede waardeur gemeenskappe mekaar kan leer ken, waardeer en respekteer en daardeur die pad baan vir die saamerk aan gemeenskaplike doelwitte.
Die dorpies wat tot dusver ‘n bydrae gelewer het, is onder meer Cloetesville, Idasvallei, Jamestown, Kayamandi, Klapmuts, Kylemore, Pniël, Raithby, Vlottenburg en Stellenbosch-sentraal, sowel as die plaasgemeenskappe.
Die skoolkoorfees, wat moontlik gemaak word deur borgskappe van groot maatskappye in Stellenbosch asook BASA, is een van die hoogtepunte op die e’Bosch-erfenisprojek se program van sowat 30 items wat gedurende September vanjaar aangebied word.

e'Bosch vereer bydraes tot inheemse natuur-erfenis vanjaar
Individue en organisasies wat ‘n positiewe bydrae gelewer het tot die behoud en ontwikkeling van ons inheemse natuur-erfenis sal vanjaar toekennings van Stellenbosch se e’Bosch-erfenisprojek ontvang.
“Ons sien uit na nominasies vir individue en organisasies uit ons streek wat oor ‘n redelike tydperk ‘n positiewe bydrae gelewer het tot die behoud en restourasie van ons inheemse plante- of diereryk,” sê dr. Sias Mostert, voorsitter van die uitvoerende komitee van Stellenbosch se e’Bosch-erfenisprojek.
Nominasies kan gemaak word vir bydraes in die vorm van opvoeding en verspreiding van kundigheid; navorsing, praktiese werk in bosbou of met fynbos, projekte met ‘n impak op ‘n gemeenskap; die uitroei van indringerplante; en innoverende bydraes. Diegene wat nominasies wil indien kan Johann Bierman sms by 083 406 2621 of epos stuur na johannbierman.jb@gmail.com.
Stellenbosch se e’Bosch-erfenisprojek, een van die mees unieke bewegings van sy soort in die land, vind vanjaar weer gedurende erfenismaand, September, plaas. Dit sal op 30 Augustus afskop met ‘n openingsfunksie waar die ere-toekennings vir natuur-erfenis gemaak sal word.
Daar word verwag dat verteenwoordigers van minstens tien dorpies uit die omgewing weer sal saamstaan in hul poging om ‘n gemeenskaplike kultuur en 'n verenigde toekomstige erfenis vir die groter Stellenbosch-distrik tot stand te bring.
“Die Stellenbosch e’Bosch-erfenisprojek is nou in sy sewende bestaansjaar. Die burgerlike samelewing van Stellenbosch stel met die e’Bosch-projek ‘n voorbeeld van 'n praktiese manier om 'n inklusiewe toekoms te bou. Vanjaar brei die projek uit met die byvoeging van aktiwiteite om 'n kultuur van entrepreneurskap as deel van ons doel om 'n volhoubare erfenis te vestig.” sê dr. Mostert.
“Afgesien van ons verskeidenheid van projekte op die gebied van debat, sport, kuns en musiek is ons visie vanjaar om die vaardigheid van die mense binne die 10 dorpies te benut deur entrepreneurs-opleiding te verskaf en daardeur ‘n brug te bou met die sakesektor. Die bou van brûe help om die gebrokenheid in die samelewing aan te spreek. Die projek verteenwoordig die suksesvolle implementering van ‘n innoverende suksesresep vir die weef van ‘n gesonde sosiale weefsel waarbinne besigheid, gemeenskappe en individue kan floreer,” sê dr. Mostert.
Leerders van die laerskoolgroep wat tydens e’Bosch se skoolkoorfees verlede jaar opgetree het. Daar sal vanjaar sowat 1200 leerders van 22 skole aan hierdie vlagskipprojek van die e’Bosch-erfenisprojek deelneem.

Conversations to build a dream
Another step has been taken towards fulfilling a dream of forging a future Stellenbosch community where everyone knows, appreciates and respects one another in an e’Bosch Heritage Project and Distell Foundation workshop held on Saturday, 3 September at the University Museum.
Participants of the workshop included the Distell Foundation team, e’Bosch representatives, academia and an extended network, who shared their dreams, personal experiences and commitment for an inclusive and welcoming Stellenbosch for all.
Thandi Chaane, the facilitator of the dialogue, is the co-founding director of The Human Capital Engine, a consultancy focused on organisational transformation, diversity management and human capital development. She is an expert change-enabler who works with communities throughout the continent on human rights and diverse cultural issues.
The various role players were invited to reinforce the commitments made in 2011 by the founders of the e’Bosch Heritage Project at the same venue where the decision was made to build a Monument of Intent of the future heritage of Stellenbosch. Their subsequent Declaration of Intent, adopted in 2012 by the rector and mayor of Stellenbosch (co-founding partners) describes the dream for an inclusive Stellenbosch community where we know, appreciate and respect one another.
“The aim of the workshop was to increase the awareness of different social perspectives and to dream about a future Stellenbosch and the commitments people are prepared to make to achieve it. The outcome made a contribution to understanding South Africa’s motto: Unity in Diversity, capturing our collective beliefs and ideals. The workshop also affirmed the validity of the e’Bosch process, crafting a collective culture that forms the basis of the e’Bosch Heritage Project to address the dire need for mutual understanding and respect between all our different communities,” says Dr Sias Mostert, chairman of the e’Bosch Heritage Project Executive Committee.
“We appreciate the contributions of the facilitator Thandi Chaane, an educator by heart, who delivered an inspiring message bringing the South African history to life through her personal experiences and encounters. Many light and intense moments were shared when she told authentic stories about our shared history, the impact thereof and how we can move forward. The workshop was experienced as inspirational, sincere and action-driven by all,” says Heidi Bartis, General Manager of Corporate Affairs and Head of the Distell Foundation.
“We are thankful to the Distell Foundation whose commitment towards the e’Bosch Heritage Project has grown beyond the School Choir Festival to co-investing in the social fabric between all the communities in Stellenbosch. In the process we are discovering together what it means to be a South African,” says Dr Mostert.

Kylemore gears up for Child Art Expo at e'Bosch Heritage Festival 2016
Learners who attend the Imbali Visual Literacy Programme in Kylemore are already working enthusiastically on their art pieces to be exhibited at the 2016 e'Bosch Child Art Exhibition, which will launch on Friday, 16 September in Kylemore.
This will be the second successive exhibition by learners from Kylemore, Pniël , Johannesdal, Lanquedoc and Simondium after their successful launch at the Fredagh & Bernard Art & Educare Centre in Kylemore during Heritage Month, September last year. The project is managed by Jeanne Bestbier Bloch and will be staged again at the same centre during September this year.
The Visual Literacy project addresses the need to provide a structured and meaningful program that enhances the visual literacy education of the children in Kylemore and surrounding towns. It is the Imbali project organizers' conviction that constructive structured and creative intervention (especially in the form of art workshops) leads to a renewed interest in learning, as well as to a radical development in self-esteem, that may change the course of young lives which are currently at serious risk.
"We've all heard the old adage 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' Learning to read those pictures gives us advantages in both work and life," says Jeanne Bestbier Bloch who is also the vice chairperson of the Imbali Western Cape Project.
"From a very early age, a great deal of educational importance is placed on teaching children how to recognize and read words and to understand their meanings. So too do we need to learn to recognize and read words and to understand images - to become literate in visual language - in order to communicate successfully in our increasingly image-saturated culture," says Jeanne
The e'Bosch Heritage Project formerly known as the Stellenbosch Heritage Project will be staged for the sixth consecutive year during the month of September. It culminates in the e'Bosch River Festival on Heritage Day, 24 September on the banks of the Eerste River in Die Laan.
Practically all the communities from the greater Stellenbosch region will be participating through representation of 10 'dorpies' or neighborhoods which are Cloetesville, Ida's Valley, Jamestown, Khayamandi, Klapmuts, Kylemore, Pniël, Stellenbosch Central, Raithby, Vlottenburg and the Farming Communities. For more information regarding their projects and programs please visit www.ebosch.co.za.

e'Bosch-boomplantdag 24 September 2016
Die gemeenskappe van Stellenbosch het hul verbintenis tot die vestiging van 'n gemeenskaplike kultuur vir die dorp die afgelope naweek op erfenisdag bevestig deur die aanplant van 15 vriendskapsbome in die tuin van die Rynse pastorie in Markstraat net onderkant Die Braak.
Die boomplant-seremonie is bygewoon deur verteenwoordigers van die Stellebosch se universiteit en munisipaliteit, die Muslim-gemeenskap, die tien dorpies Cloetesville, Idasvallei, Jamestown, Kayamandi, Klapmuts, Kylemore, Pniël, Raithby, Vlottenburg, Stellenbosch-sentraal en die plaasgemeenskappe.
Die seremonie is een van die Stellenbosch se e'Bosch-erfenisprojek se groot aantal projekte oor erfenismaand, September. Die doelwit van die e'Bosch-beweging wat ook die tien dorpies van Stellenbosch verteenwoordig, is om die mense van Stellenbosch saam te snoer en 'n gemeenskap tot stand te bring wat mekaar ken, waardeer en respekteer en om lewensruimte te skep vir almal om in te floreer.
Die Stellenbosch Universiteit se boom is namens hul vise-kanselier Prof Wim de Villiers geplant wat daarop gewys het dat die aanplant van 'n boom een van die beste maniere is om mense bymekaar te kry en die kultuur van versorging en toewyding te help vestig. Hy het onderneem om gereeld die universiteit se boom te besoek en met dit te 'praat'. Raadslid Johannie Serdyn het namens die munisipaliteit beklemtoon dat bome deel is van ons natuurerfenis wat ons moet help bewaar as 'n geskenk aan ons nageslag.
Die ander gemeenskappe is onderskeidelik verteenwoordig deur Mervin William (Kylemore); George Williams (Pniël); Dennis Cupido (Plaasgemeenskappe); Wille Meyer (Cloetesville); Natashia Mcombrink (Idasvallei); Elizabeth Daniels (Jamestown); Tatum Gordon (Raithby0; Carol Lakay (Klapmuts); en Esme Makhalima (Kayamandi).
Mnr Jan Odendaal van die Groen vir Lewe-beweging was die e'Bosch-projekleier vir die boomplantseremonie. Die vytien bome wat gebruik is, is 'n mengsel van twee inheemse boomsoorte die Alexmite en Wit Stinkhout.
In die agterste ry staan van links Mervin William (Kylemore), George Williams (Pniël), Johann Murray die voorsitter van die e'Bosch-reëlingskomitee), prof Wim de Villiers vise-kanselier van Stellenbosch Universiteit, raadslid Johannie Serdyn van die Stellenbosch Munisipalteit, en Dennis Cupido (Plaasgemeenskappe).
