QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER JULY 2021 Greetings from the Youth and After School Programme Office Youth and After School Programme Office QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER JULY 2021 Greetings from the Youth and After School Programme Office. This quarter has been a busy one. As we grapple with the impacts of COVID-19 we have all been affected in some way. We have seen family, friends and colleagues becoming ill and in some cases we may have lost someone dear to us. Schooling and our work environments have been disrupted forcing us to adapt and innovate. As we face the third wave we all need to play our part to keep those around us safe. Please remember to mask up and avoid crowded places, confined spaces and close contact. If you are 35+ please register for the vaccine and help others over 35 to register and be vaccinated. Learners across the world have been key victims of the COVID pandemic. Unequal access and education disparity, stark before After School COVID, have worsened. Researchers believe it will take us ten years to recoup the learning losses experienced by most children News as a result of the lockdown caused by the pandemic. As we all grapple with how we can contribute to closing this gap, we are called upon to think differently about education. Educators need to rethink how they teach. Addressing this crisis cannot be left to schools alone. Everyone in the education eco-system needs to act. Parents and caregivers should be more involved in their children’s education. NGOs and After School Programmes have to be stepped up to help accelerate learning. Read more on why After School Programmes are so important in the three new publications appearing in the Knowledge Hub.

The plight of South Africa’s youth was dire before COVID-19, but the pandemic has further exacerbated News the youth crisis. Unemployment has risen to a staggering 63.3% and over two-thirds of the youth have reported that they have experienced some form of depression. Now more than ever young people need access to work opportunities, mentoring and personal and professional development to launch their careers. Note: Also see what the YeBoneers on our different streams had to say about what Youth Day means to them and why it’s important. 201 880 11 000+ OUR IMPACT sites youth learners WEST KAROO COAST scouting in schools CAPE WINELANDS data administration CAPE academic METRO support GARDEN ROUTE/ EDEN @homelearning OVERBERG 1000 stories library project Sinayo Phike, Scouting in Schools Programme “For me Youth Day reminds us of the power of the youth and that with unity amongst the youth anything is possible. Looking back at the youth of 1976s determination even under dire circumstances, we are encouraged to possess those similar qualities of resilience and strong will in times of hardships. Youth Day reminds of us the sacrifices made by others for us and the generations to come for a better future which sparks a spirit of pride and joy of the struggle by being grateful and appreciative of the opportunities granted to us today, and to also accept the responsibilities that come with these privileges. Today, we are also encouraged to proudly take a stand against injustices we are exposed to just like the youth of 1976.” 1000 Stories Library Project The 1000 stories programme places unemployed youth working with the libraries in Theewaterskloof to develop a love of reading. Almost three quarters of children in SA and over half of children in the Western Cape cannot read for meaning by the age of ten. This programme aims to strengthen the role of libraries in the national reading drive. It aims to ensure children access 100 stories a year from birth and have read 1000 stories by the age of ten. The youth will champion this drive by reading 20 stories a week to children in their towns. Children will collect stamps each time they listen to a story. Regular participation in story time will enable them to enter draws for prizes and eventually obtain their readers’ license. After a successful orientation, YeBoneers have already embarked on their journey as Reading Champions at the local libraries in the towns of Grabouw, Villiersdorp, Caledon, Greyton, Botrivier, Genadendal, Tesselaarsdal and Riviersonderend. Leneathe Koortzen, 1000 Stories Library Project “Youth Day means something special to me. It’s a day where we celebrate the lives of students who stood up for themselves. This was the day where thousands of students were ambushed by the apartheid regime. And from that day we as South Africans pay tribute to the lives of those and recognises the role of youth. The way the students stood up for themselves makes me feel more powerful. Nothing should stand in your way of becoming successful. You shouldn’t be afraid of stepping out of your comfort zone. When God’s with you, no one can be against you.” @HomeLearning Programme YearBeyond WCED @HomeLearning is a partnership between YearBeyond and the Western Cape Education Department, the Western Cape Department of Economic Development, the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport, schools and NGOs under the leadership of Hope through Action. The WCED @HomeLearning roll- out follows a very successful pilot programme that engaged 59 interns working in five hubs linked to eighteen schools, supported by three organisations. The 2021 programme is now working in eight hubs linked to 32 schools and supported by five partner organisations. The roll-out has extended from the Winelands District areas of Franschhoek, Mbekweni, Paarl East, Cloetesville and Kayamandi to also include Klapmuts, Rawsonville, Goudini, Slanghoek and Bonnievale – and is piloting in the West Coast District in Malmesbury. The NGO implementing partners are Hope Through Action (working with SCORE), Khula Development Group, Love to Give, Bonnievale 418 and MathMoms. In addition to working with learners, the youth, or YeBoneers, also visit families to facilitate @HomeLearning and link families in need to other services. Jo-anne Zikhona Mahlekwa, @HomeLearning “This special day is in remembrance of the day that Hector Pietersen and all others sacrificed their lives. This day symbolises equality and the fight for a better education for all. Whenever this day comes around I feel very sad but also relieved that we as today’s youth don’t have to go through all that hurt and pain to reach our goal when it comes to education.” Culture Camps Huge Success COVID has affected us all in so many ways.

Damian Gilbert, Data Administration Programme “Celebrating Youth Day and youth month is important because it reminds us of the sacrifices made by many young people who have come before us. The events of June 16 must also be remembered as a day of courage and fortitude. Today our role is to take that mission forward and continue to contribute to change. Education is a tool that can change generations for many years to come.” Update on Presidential Youth Initiative On 16 June President Ramaphosa launched the National Pathway Management Network to provide workseekers with a range of support.

Characterisation of fractured rock aquifers is important when dealing with groundwater protection and management. Fractures are often good conduits for water and contaminants, leading to high flow velocities and the fast spread of contaminants in these aquifers. A cost effective methodology is required for the characterisation of the role of individual fractures contributing to flow to boreholes in fractured rock aquifers.

  • Chapter Four a Needs Analysis for Health Interventions – Case Study of Kayamandi
    CHAPTER FOUR A NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR HEALTH INTERVENTIONS – CASE STUDY OF KAYAMANDI 4.1 Introduction In the 1980s, the WHO emphasised that health and well-being of individuals are closely connected with social, cultural, physical, economic and other factors inside living areas or towns (Burlington, 2005). Against this background, it can be assumed that individuals living and growing up in extremely impoverished settings should therefore have the greatest need for health interventions that will enhance and strengthen their health and well-being. In regard to the intervention presented in this thesis, and undertaken in a very impoverished community, a needs analysis was outlined beforehand to 1) identify prevalent risks and resources in the specific setting, 2) immure the intervention in its surrounding and 3) adequately adjust the life-orientated modules for its participants. The information for the needs analysis was drawn from regular field trips and field reports, an extensive literature review (e.g. maps, official statistics, published and unpublished articles), and photographic documentation. The methodology for the needs analysis is described in chapter 6. The following section describes the particular case of Kayamandi (translated as ‘pleasant home’) in order to highlight the social, health, security and educational infrastructures in a disadvantaged community6 in South Africa that have resulted from historic, socio-economic, as well as political processes in the country. 4.2 The History and Geographical Development of Kayamandi The town Stellenbosch is located 30 kilometres east of Cape Town in the Western Cape Province. It is the second oldest town (founded in 1679) in South Africa (Dennerlein & Adami, 2004), and historically a centre of Afrikanerdom during Apartheid in which the university played a central role in educating the Apartheid elite.

    DEPARTMENT OF WATER AFFAIRS AND FORESTRY BREEDE RIVER BASIN STUDY GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT Final MAY 2003 Groundwater Consulting Services P O Box 2597 Rivonia 2128 Tel : +27 11 803 5726 Fax : +27 11 803 5745 e-mail : [email protected] This report is to be referred to in bibliographies as : Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, South Africa. 2003. Groundwater Assessment. Prepared by G Papini of Groundwater Consulting Services as part of the Breede River Basin Study. DWAF Report No. PH 00/00/2502. BREEDE RIVER BASIN STUDY GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objectives of this study were to assess the significance and distribution of groundwater resources in the Breede River catchment, estimate the amount of abstraction and degree of stress it may be causing and to indicate the scope for further development of groundwater resources. This was achieved by a review of all available literature and obtaining yields and quantities from all significant schemes. The characterisation of important aquifers and assessment of the groundwater balance (recharge versus consumption) allowed for identification of further groundwater potential. The geohydrology of the Breede River catchment is controlled by the occurrence of the rocks of the Table Mountain Group (which form the mountainous areas), the occurrence of high levels of faulting and folding in the syntaxis area of the upper catchment and the variable rainfall, being highest in the mountainous areas in the west. These factors result in a catchment with highest groundwater potential in the west, where recharge, yields and abstraction potential are greatest and the quality is the best. As a result of these factors, the western half of the catchment is also the area with the greatest groundwater use.

Finding a new identity for a township club – the case of the Mighty 5 1 Star in Stellenbosch Sylvain Cubizolles* Laboratoire DIMPS, De´partement STAPS, UFR SHE, Universite´ de La Re´union This article analyses how football membership has been transformed in Kayamandi, a township situated on the outskirts of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It focuses on the rationales behind membership in the Mighty 5 Star, a Kayamandi amateur club created in 1972, in order to understand the changing interrelationships between the club and the neighbour- hood. Based on participatory observations, written sources published by the club on the internet, as well as interviews, this article discusses the various membership processes between the club and the players from 1972 to 2011, characterising the social and urban rationales that have structured and organised them, and situating those rationales, whenever possible, in the history of the political and social changes in South Africa since 1972.

  • Stellenbosch Strikes Wine Tourism Gold Twice in a Row Wine Route Voted Best Promotional Body for Second Consecutive Year
    For immediate release Stellenbosch strikes Wine Tourism gold twice in a row Wine route voted Best Promotional Body for second consecutive year South Africa’s oldest wine route, the Stellenbosch American Express® Wine Routes, was voted the Best Promotional Body at the Wine Tourism Awards 2015 of the authoritative Drinks International magazine, one of the most trusted and respected global drinks journals, for the second consecutive year. In addition, this coveted competition which serves as an industry benchmark for excellence in the field of wine tourism, also lauded the Stellenbosch Wine Routes as a Highly Commended contender in the Best Digital & Social Media Initiative category for their interactive StellenBlog. This blog was launched in 2014, when the Stellenbosch Wine Routes and the town’s tourism outfit, Stellenbosch 360, embarked on a joint wine tourism campaign, Stellenbosch Experience, to broaden the area’s tourism footprint on an international scale. “It is great to see that our innovative wine tourism efforts to promote the region are getting international recognition. Research has shown that more and more visitors opt for experiential, multi- dimensional destinations and memorable experiences rather than merely being passive spectators when on leisure or business trips and Stellenbosch certainly has it all and more. More attention, more comfort and more exciting experiences for the whole family,” shares Annareth Bolton, CEO of the Stellenbosch Wine Routes. When visiting this ‘Forever Young’ town one soon discovers that it is worth far more than just a day trip to indulge in world-class wines. As the country’s Gourmet and Wine Capital it boasts four of the 2014 Eat Out Top Ten Restaurants – with all four of them based on wine farms.
