Marketing Brochure Workshops for people with disabilities Western Cape Municipal Areas Central Karoo City of Cape Town Eden Overberg West Coast Winelands Cape Town 2 Forward Protective workshops were first established with the purpose of providing rehabilitation services and work opportunities for persons with disabilities who due to the nature of their disability were experiencing barriers in accessing the open labour market. The establishment of these workshops was seen as one of the measures to advance the independent living of persons with disabilities within their local communities. Presently, there are 42 workshops in Western Cape, providing a variety of training and work opportunities to approximately 3 022 people with disabilities. The Department of Social Development has embarked on a process in partnership with the NGO sector, to transform and support protective workshops into economically viable units. The purpose of this brochure is therefore to assist to market products of the protective workshops as well as their ability to take on work contracts. The paradigm shift aimed at the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the mainstream of all spheres of society, including the world of work, has posed a challenge to workshops. The drive to create more job opportunities for people with disabilities in the labour market puts challenges on the workshops to be proactive in training and preparing them to take advantage of the available opportunities. The challenge is further to provide more financial rewarding work to those who cannot access the open labour market. However, protective workshops cannot meet these challenges in their own as they are often struggling with inadequate resources and support from public at large. I urge the business sector, government departments and public at large to seriously consider how they can support the workshops in an attempt to meet the challenges mentioned above. Some of the suggested possibilities could be: ! Sponsor training programmes ! Enter into work contracts ! Assist with capacity building through sharing their knowledge, experience and expertise with the protective workshops ! Facilitate access to opportunities and information ! Purchasing the workshop products I further extend a word of gratitude to all, including people with disabilities who have made a meaningful contribution to workshops towards their sustainability.

  • Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa
    Constructing Ambiguous Identities: Negotiating Race, Respect, and Social Change in ‘Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa Daniel Patrick Hammett Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 2007 1 Declaration This thesis has been composed by myself from the results of my own work, except where otherwise acknowledged. It has not been submitted in any previous application for a degree. i Abstract South African social relations in the second decade of democracy remain framed by race. Spatial and social lived realities, the continued importance of belonging – to feel part of a community, mean that identifying as ‘coloured’ in South Africa continues to be contested, fluid and often ambiguous. This thesis considers the changing social location of ‘coloured’ teachers through the narratives of former and current teachers and students. Education is used as a site through which to explore the wider social impacts of social and spatial engineering during and subsequent to apartheid. Two key themes are examined in the space of education, those of racial identity and of respect. These are brought together in an interwoven narrative to consider whether or not ‘coloured’ teachers in the post-apartheid period are respected and the historical trajectories leading to the contemporary situation. Two main concerns are addressed. The first considers the question of racial identification to constructions of self-identity. Working with post-colonial theory and notions of mimicry and ambivalence, the relationship between teachers and the identifier ‘coloured’ is shown to be problematic and contested. Second, and connected to teachers’ engagement with racialised identities, is the notion of respect. As with claims to identity and racial categorisation, the concept of respect is considered as mutable and dynamic and rendered with contextually subjective meanings that are often contested and ambivalent.

  • Western Cape Jazz Legends
    Western Cape Jazz Legends Foreword The Western Cape Jazz legends which unveiled on 17 March 2011 pays homage to the rich jazz heritage of the Western Cape. The publishing of the Western Cape Jazz Legends Booklet gives a wider audience access to an appreciation of the contribution of these musicians who often plied their trade under the most difficult circumstances and with very little material reward. The short biographies are informed by existing literature and interviews conducted with family members. The list is by no means comprehensive but it does indicate our resolve to give homage, to acknowledge, to preserve and to promote the rich musical heritage of the Western Cape. Documenting our musical history not only ensures that the impact of the role of these legends on the musical landscape of the Western Cape is captured for posterity, but also that their stories serve as a source of inspiration to aspiring musicians. This booklet represents an important step towards the building of a socially inclusive Western Cape. These Jazz Legends united us around our common love for music and the unique sounds of Cape Town Jazz. Let’s celebrate their achievement and resolve that we will continue to build on this initiative to acknowledge our musicians who created musical melodies which filled us with joy, often leaving us in awe of their amazing talent and with a deep sense of self-worth and cultural warmth. Dr IH Meyer Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport Western cape Government. Western Cape Jazz Legends 1 2 Western Cape Jazz Legends IntroductIon The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport has embedded in its vision, “… A socially cohesive and creative Western Cape.” The arts and culture component of the department has embraced this vision and the Western Cape Jazz Legends project is reflective thereof.

I see my grandmother sitting in her chair, grey hair escaping from under a white cotton scarf wrapped around her head; her fingers hold the thin steel hook wrapping cotton thread in elaborate patterns, making poor man’s lace, creating circles in the air to catch bad dreams. Her hands are never idle, weaving and spinning a livelihood to keep her family together, her work good enough for even white people, my father says, the patterns out of a secret book in her head dipped in starch and ironed to attention.
