Nokwatombi Tyala (75), Mina Nomqhayi (65) and Margaret Myalato (86) were among a group of around 50 residents of the Inkanini informal settlement who gathered in protest last Sunday, 20 January, against their living conditions. Many said they were on the waiting list for housing at the Mayfield Phase 2 development – stalled because of delays in upgrading the city’s bulk sewage treatment capacity. The group showed Grocott’s Mail where they collect water at a point where the rising main for the city’s eastern water supply has been vandalised. They said they would support any party that would provide them with water, sanitation and electricity. Photo: Sue Maclennan

The wind and heat out in full-force as our team spent hours speaking to residents about their plight against the ongoing drought. Monday’s visit was part of our team’s current focus on the Eastern Cape’s water crisis, hop- ing to bring our reader’s more and more information. Riebeeck East’s story is a tragic one, but not without any hope or humour. Residents laughed with us as they joked about wet wipes, abstaining from showers and the availabil- ity of beer over water; a refreshing perspective. The town’s current water supply may be minimal but the potential to revive the once flourishing village is real, all that’s needed are a few pumps. For now, the town’s businesses, farms and community patiently wait for relief. Our team will continue prioritising this vital coverage, and will be visiting Alicedale early next week. Our coverage of small towns and commercial farms has been consistent, but we know we have a long way to go.

Her predecessor – Jon Trafford – has moved to head up the newly formed Kingswood Foundation which has the future sustainability of the College as its core focus. We met Dr Vassiliou and put some questions to her.

What’s your background and how did you end up in this role? I never planned on becom- ing a College Head, it just un- folded and to be honest, it feels so right.

Past achievement is often a good predictor of future achievement, I value what has been achieved in the College over the past 125 years and our future success has to be rooted in the values and traditions that we have cultivated. As part of developing our strategy we recently went through a deep introspection around how we deliver on our vision of ‘Edu- cating for Life’. We analysed what skills need to be nurtured in today’s learners so they can stand out from the crowd and thrive in our complex society. And so we shifted our focus to Innovation, Creativity and En- trepreneurial practices (ICE) across everything we do. We believe pupils need to be exposed to solid entrepreneur- ial practices and we wish to have every pupil at Kingswood have the experience running a business. The fourth industrial revolu- tion is the current and devel- oping environment in which disruptive trends and technolo- gies such as the Internet, ro- botics, virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the way we live and work. 8 WATER AND DROUGHT - RURAL AREAS Grocott’s Mail 25 JANUARY 2019 WATER AND DROUGHT - RURAL AREAS 9 Riebeeck East In crisis
