GESLAAGDE KARATEKAMP: Francois du Plessis se Goju-Kai Karateskool het die afgelope naweek (17–19 Mei) ’n baie geslaagde kamp (Gashuku) by die Drakenstein Kultuursentrum (buite Franschhoek) gehou. Meer
as 120 studente van Paarl, Stellenbosch, Strand en Kaap het die kamp bygewoon. Studente het geleer van dissipline, respek, netheid, spanwerk en verantwoordelikheid. Heelwat graderings het ook plaasgevind.
Hier is die kampleiers (agter van links) Fortune Niyabanga, Diane de Kock, Wongalethu Fandreki, Mari Treurnicht, Tredoux Nigrini, Francois du Plessis (Shihan), Lloyd Louw, Erin Hendricks, Marinus Eybers en Dirkie
Heydenrych; (voor) Willem de Wet, Louie Schultz, Jeanine Lotter, Keanan Idas en Dylan de Kock.
MBA­studente neem skool onder vlerk
Ses Stellenbosch MBA-studente
het ’n klein Idasvallei-laerskool,
wat hoofsaaklik minderbevoorregte kinders onderrig, onder hul
PW Serdyn, een van die MBA-studente wat betrokke is by St Idas Primêr, saam met
’n groep van die leerlinge.
Die MBA-studente het ’n deurlopende geldinsamelingprojek van stapel gestuur om die skool te bemagtig
om bykomende onderwysers wat
deur die skool self gefinansier word,
in diens te behou.
Die groep MBA-studente van die
Universiteit Stellenbosch Bestuurskool (USB), beoog om deur werkende geldinsamelingstrukture ’n volhoubare finansiële posisie vir die St
Idas Primêr te skep.
Dié skooltjie het tans 254 leerlinge
van gr. R tot gr. 7 vir kinders van Idasvallei, Kayamandi, Cloetesville
asook die omliggende plase.
As deel van hul praktiese gevallestudie vir strategie, onder leiding
van prof. Marius Ungerer van die
USB, is die studente se langtermyn
doel om die beeld van St Idas te verbe-
ter en sodoende die gemeenskap,
asook groot korporatiewe maatskappye, by die skool te betrek met die
idee dat dit finansiële verligting sal
“Ten spyte van St Idas se finansiële
behoeftes was ons nasionale wiskunde en geletterdheid-uitslae uitstekend. Ons gr. 3-leerders het ’n prys
van die Wes-Kaapse Onderwys Departement gewen vir 30% verbetering in Afrikaans,” het skoolhoof
Glynis Rippenaar gesê.
Daar is tans ’n geldtekort vir onderwysposte wat deur die skool se beheerliggaam gedra moet word, wat
kan lei tot ’n tekort aan onderwysers
as die finansiële situasie nie verbeter
nie. Die gevaar is dat die skool hul
gr. R-klas sal moet staak sodat daardie salaris aan die huidige gr. 2- onderwyser betaal kan word.
Dit is dus die MBA-studente se
korttermyndoel om dié situasie te
verhoed deur die skool se kwartaallikse braai-dae aan die breër Stellenbosch-gemeenskap te bemark as ’n
volhoubare en suksesvolle geldinsameling-inisiatief. Die eerste braaidag het reeds plaasgevind.
In samewerking met die groep
MBA-studente doen St Idas ’n beroep
op die Stellenbosch-gemeenskap, sowel as maatskappye, om hierdie projek te ondersteun sodat meer onderwysers aangestel kan word.
Die skool baat reeds deur die welwillendheid van SG Convenience, ’n
afdeling van Super Group, wat as
deel van hul sosiale verantwoordelikheid besluit het om by St Idas betrokke te raak. Die maatskappy wat
kwartaalliks voorraad soos tjips, lekkernye en koeldrank aan die skool se
snoepie skenk, daag nou ander maatskappye uit om ook betrokke te raak.
Die volgende braai-dae vind op
Vrydag 2 Augustus en Vrydag 29 November 2013 plaas. Besprekings kan
op die voorafgaande Dinsdag van elke braai-dag by die skool gemaak
word. Bel 021 886 6021 of stuur ’n e-pos

Lanquedoc sukkel met

Lanquedoc is ’n “stortingsterrein” vir maatskaplike probleme.
“Hier is nie werk nie. Hier
is net armoede, dwelms en
smokkelhuise. Ons moet
maar net voortploeter.”
Só meen Neale Kleinschmidt, gemeenskapsleier
en koster van die St. Giles Anglikaanse Kerk in Lanquedoc.
In dié gemeenskap, net buite Pniel, is dwelms volop én

tussen Franschhoek en Stellenbosch verskuif.
Anglo American het al hul
wingerde en boorde in dié omgewing verkoop. Vier honderd huise is kort daarna in
Lanquedoc gebou en plaaswerkers is na dié dorpie verskuif.
Werkloosheid is die grootste probleem in dié area, sê Elmarie Kotzé, maatskaplike
werker van die ACVV-tak in
die Paarl. “Die Rhodes-vrugteplaas se inmaakfabriek het
ook verlede maand toegemaak
en 160 mense in die omgewing
het hul werke verloor.”

inwoners die enigste inkomste te wees. “Hulle dink dit is
die beste manier om kos op die
tafel te kry. Hierdie plek is besig om te verval,” sê Mona
Kleinschmidt, inwoner van
Lanquedoc en sekretaresse
van die Boschendal Treasury
Trust. Dié trust beoog om gemeenskapsprojekte in Lanquedoc te begin.
Koeldrank en tjips is spotgoedkoop by kafees beskikbaar, sê ds. Leon Klate van die
Pniel. “Maar dit is net ’n front
vir die ander produkte wat
hulle óók verkoop. Die eintlike produkte word nie eers geadverteer nie, maar die mense
weet waar om dit te kry.”
Mona en Neale Kleinschmidt het egter nog nie
moed verloor nie. “Ek glo hier
kan nog wonderwerke gebeur
en dit is waarom ek betrokke
bly,” sê Mona. “Ons kan dit
mos nie net so los nie?”

10th Wacky Wine promises
The 10th Wacky Wine weekend,
with kykNET as the new headline
sponsor, will be held in the Robertson Wine Valley from 6 to 9
Wacky Wine now draws over
18 600 visitors to the valley annually.
The theme this year is “celebration” and promises to be more festive and wacky than any other year.
Wacky Wine has also launched a
2013 charity drive for winter. Festival-goers are invited to join the Robertson Wine Valley in supporting
their local charities. Blankets and
winter clothing, for all ages, can be
donated for those less fortunate. In
return the valley will reward you
with wine, according to the weight
of your donation, with a maximum
of a six-bottle case of wine which
weighs about 9 kg.
Donations that weigh less than a
bottle of wine will be rewarded with
vouchers for wine purchases at the
La Verne online wine shop
(www.lavernewines.co.za). All donations can be handed in at the Robertson Wine Valley office, on the corner of Voortrekker and Reitz
As part of the ten-year celebration, members of the local community have also been commissioned to
produce the ±18 000 Wacky “goodie
bags”. This provides much-needed
employment for the local community and the opportunity to learn new
The Robertson Wine Valley has
teamed up with Langeberg Doulos
Trust and the bags were produced
from recycled cement bags. They
can be ordered by sending an email
During the four days of the festival 48 wineries will be showcasing
their wines and myriad key attractions. Each day will have a signature
wine theme catering for all palates.
There will be various tastings, delicious food to savour and fun activities such as “meet-the-winemaker”
tastings, brandy tours and tastings,

mountain bike challenge and a fresh

Helping graduates shift from
Attending graduation and obtaining a degree is the day that
all students look forward to.
However the euphoria soon
wears off when people start
asking, “What’s next?”.
Knowing that South Africa
has a high number of unemployed graduates isn’t a comforting thought either, but online platforms like careerssa.net provide potential and
recent graduates with access
to numerous tools and resources to help them plan and
Depending which statistics
are considered, there are between 300 000 (National Skills
Development Handbook) and
600 000 (Adcorp Employment
Index) unemployed graduates
in South Africa. And this high
number is not exclusive to
South Africa; unemployment
at graduate level is in fact a
global concern. An analysis of
government data conducted
for the Associated Press in
America found that an estimated 1.5 million, or 53.6%, of
bachelor’s degree-holders under the age of 25 in 2011 were
unemployed or working in a
job that doesn’t require a
“Although part of the problem is systemic – there are just
not enough jobs out there –
there are still things that graduates can do to increase their
chances of success.” says Samantha Crous, CRF Institute
Regional Director: Africa &
Benelux, the organisation behind careerssa.net.
“Several graduates are
making mistakes which can
be prevented when applying
According to the South African Graduates Development
Association (SAGDA) there
are various reasons why graduates struggle to secure their
first job. Common challenges
include a poorly presented
resume, a lack of interview
handling skills, poor verbal
and non-verbal communication and inadequate work exposure and experience.
Lindsay Gibson, Marketing
Manager at the CRF Institute,
agrees with SAGDA’s findings. When visiting campuses
around South Africa to distribute careerssa.net and to facilitate free job hunting workshops to graduates, Gibson realised that graduates have a
gap in knowledge regarding
“Knowing where to find a
job is one thing but the various
nuances on how to find one
and how to fit into the corporate world can be overwhelming. That’s where we feel careerssa.net can help – we have
all the job hunting tools graduates need in one place. From
what an employment contract
can look like, CV tips and templates, alternatives to corporate jobs and more.”

painlessly from their reality
on campus to the new world
