Speaking at the launch of the school, MEC Lesufi said the school would include curricu- lum and support programmes for learners with autism spectrum disorder. Former Gauteng MEC for Social Develop- ment Molebatsi Bopape urged communities to be vigilant by reporting families that are abusing children who have special needs because these children need love and care. Allen Claire, an autism specialist at the Gauteng Department of Education, said the department looks at each child according to their challenges and sets a special pro- gramme for them. “Whether it’s a sensory issue or a commu- nication issue, we help the child to overcome the challenge. Children with autism are like other kids, but need extra attention,” said Claire.

Growing up in a single-parent household with no income was very challenging for her but she never gave up on her dream. She was raised by her mother Thabisile Hadebe who is unemployed because of a medical condition. Hadebe’s father, Bonginkosi Majola, is also happy that his daughter received the bursary. “I appreciate the help from those who didn't forget about us and also thank the Richmond Parliamentary Constituency Office for keeping us abreast of the develop- ments concerning financial assistance from the TRC,” he said. ACCESS TO EDUCATION FOR TRC VICTIMS During the TRC process government realised that the subjection of people to gross human rights violations under apartheid disrupted their education and or their duty to enable their dependents to access education. As a result Parliament approved the TRC’s recommendation on medical benefits and other forms of social assistance, inclusive of educational assistance.

Premier urges Blitzbokke aim for the top offi cials to pay artists on time

overnment offi cials who fail to release payment for artists on time should be held accountable for their actions. G This is according to Free State Premier Ace Magashule, who was speaking during a special meeting with artists recently. The meeting was called by the Premier after some disgruntled artists threatened to march to the Premier’s offi ce to register their grievances. “By not paying our artists on time, we’re breaking the law. Those entrusted with the responsibility of doing so much should be held accountable.
