High fees for studentsKAVEEL SINGH AND KHANYISANI DLOMO

INFLATION and the rising cost of providing quality tertiary educationhas forced some KwaZulu­Natal universities to drive up fees beyond10%.

University of KwaZulu­Natal increased both tuition and accom­modation fees by 12% this year, and the sharp rise will see parentsforking out once­off registration payments of R3 750 for coursesand an additional R2 750 fee for students requiring accommodation.

University spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka said the increment wasinspired by careful consideration of the social circumstances of stu­dents and wider consultation with university stakeholders.

“Inflation has negatively affected the allocation to the universityfrom the state, making the current tuition fees paid by students in­adequate,” she said.

“It is imperative that adequate financial resources are availableto ensure that our degrees remain highly competitive and respectedglobally.”

The institution received more than 90 000 applications for the8 400 available spaces in the undergraduate academic pro­grammes.

It provides accommodation for 12 086 students at on­campus

Previously, the department said it would provide R10.2 billionthis year in funding through NSFAS to tertiary institutions.

Local DA councillor Brian Jayanathan said it was sad that govern­ment was not doing more to subsidise students.

“While there are funds that are going toward some subsidies,our government has quite a bit of funds that are being squanderedaway. It should be important to them to contribute to the upliftmentof education. It is the only way we can find a good future for SouthAfrica.”

Jayanathan added that many successful pupils came from Ton­gaat.

“Fees are one thing, but there are students coming from Tongaatwho have to travel a distance. This all costs money.”

Tongaat Civic Association chairperson Jeeva Pillay said universi­ties sometimes let in money machines and forget about good stu­dents.

“We find at times they will let in students they know will takefive to seven years to finish a standard four year degree. What aboutour intelligent students? This ultimately widens the economic gapin our country.”

Cope councillor Steven Naidoo said that countries that excelledall placed a great emphasis on tertiary education.

“They create necessary platforms. We are a successful countryand we can give this access to these people. The funds availabledon't seem to be reaching those it needs to. The reason for this isthat there aren't proper mechanisms in place. ”

and off­campus residences.“Each year there is always more demand than

supply for on­campus accommodation. To help curbthe matter, the university makes use of private ac­commodation in and around our campuses.”

Fees at the Durban University of Technology(DUT) increased by 10% for both tuition and accom­modation, and Mangosuthu University of Technolo­gy (MUT) increased its fees by nine percent for tuitionalone.

DUT’s registration fee has gone up to R3 420 forannual students and R2 100 for semester students.

If prospective students seek university accommo­dation, they will need to double the registration fee.

University registrar Professor Thenjiwe Meyiwasaid the institution received 81 518 applications forjust 7 200 spaces available for first­year students.

Meyiwa said the institution leases private build­ings for student accommodation.

“Fees charged for accommodation in these build­ings [leased] and range from R20 000 to R24 000per annum. In the Durban Centre, DUT has 4 956beds. In the Midlands Centre, we have 2 897 beds.These include leased beds.”

Unisa spokesperson Martin Ramotshela said theyreceived 168 400 applications last year, made up of93 739 new applicants, and 74 661 returning stu­dents.

“Fromapplicationsreceived,89046metthemin­imum requirements. All these applicants will be ac­commodated during the current registration period,provided they still satisfy the admission require­ments.”

The universities said students can register onlineto avoid long queues.

Central Application Office (CAO) spokespersonGeorge van der Ross said they processed 130 480 ap­plications for the four KZN institutions.

UKZN received the largest chunk of applicants,with 87 493 forms already processed.

Zululand had 82 824, DUT received 81 518.The DA urged Minister of Higher Education Blade

Nzimande to request emergency funding from Trea­sury to aid the National Student Financial AidScheme (NSFAS), to support incoming first­year stu­dents.

In order to keep upwith demand, the utilityhas been running open gas turbines broadlyduring the past fewmonths, spending billionsof rands to buy diesel to operate them.

THEDaylee Independent schooldirector Daya Naidoo was re-cently honoured for her out-

Busy season forpawn shopsWEEKLY REPORTER

THE new year is traditionally a busy season for pawnshops as people try to recover from overspending. Lo­cal pawn shops say this year is no different.

“We were very busy over December. People most­ly bought stuff and business picked up a little bit,”says Christo Nienaber. “They bought mostly televi­sions, speakers, cellphones, laptops and iPads,” headds.

“While pawning was slow over December, it esca­lated after Christmas. People spend wildly in Christ­mas and then need to pawn. About 60% of custom­ers return for their items the following month and20% will pay interest to keep their items on pawnfor another month, while 20% goes on sale,” he says.

Nienaber says the biggest problem in the industryis that people try to sell phones that are on contract.The phone then gets blacklisted and can’t be resold.

PaulWilsonsaysduringhis14yearsintheindustry,second­hand sales always spike in December.

“It is hugely varied. I deal a lot in tools and elec­tronics, all commonly used stuff for do­it­yourselflike angle grinders, which are much sought after.

“I find the things that most commonly sell wellare televisions and music equipment,” he says.

Wilson says January and February are big pawn­ing months with children going back to university andschool.

“Gold is a very pawnable item — it is small andeasy to deal with. Other top pawn items are televi­sions, laptops and cellular phones, which he stoppedtaking because of the blacklisting issue.

His biggest concern is the way police deal withstolen goods.

“A fairly low number of items are being reportedas stolen. In most cases items being sold as stolenis when someone took it from their employers,” hesays.

“Items are, from a legal aspect, only stolen if thecase goes to court and items are recognised as stolengoods, but in many cases the police take it uponthemselves to repossess stolen goods and hand itback to the claimant, but they have no authority todo that.”

SAPS PRO Captain Charlene van der Spuy says:“If someone reports a housebreaking or robbery andthe owner identifies it as stolen property at the sec­ond­hand dealer, a SAPS officer can repossess thestolen goods with the case number as evidence.”

A case for atheism

IAManatheist. I havecome to rea-lise that I was born one just as ev-eryone else is. This includes you,

your family and all your friends.Others may refer to me as an infi-

del, others a lost soul, some mighteven think me the anti-Christ.

These labels and others are quiteeffectiveat turningmanyaheretic in-to a believer.

Anatheist,bydefinition, isanindi-vidual who does not believe in God.

Going further, not believing inGoddoes not necessarily mean you auto-maticallyarecertainthathe(orsheorthey) does not exist.

Atheists do not generally claim toknow for sure what they do not, butwecan,withcertainty, spotbovine fe-ces.

Ifreliableevidencewouldbefoundand a falsifiable theory proving theexistence of God, then the atheistwould start “believing” in God with-out the burden of faith, but by the ful-fillinguse of reason in light of reliableevidence.

Atheists do not try to disprove theexistence of God as his existence

has never been proven in the firstplace.

The atheist would rather pointout the holes in your religion, whichtheyareinabundancebothintheholybooks and the actions of devout fun-damentalists and extremists.

Children are born not knowing ofGod and it is at a tender age they getindoctrinated into believing thatthere is a God.

It takes a lot to convince a childthatGodexistsastheyarecoaxedintoforegoing their common sense andtheuseof theirsensestobelieve intheunseen.

As a child, you start to believe inGod yourself as you are told that theunconditional love of your God willunleash hiswrath should you choosenot to love him back. It is like this insome traditional religions, at least.

social exclusion ifwedonot conform.Sowegiveintothebeliefsoftheeldersandourpeersalthoughitgoesagainstall of what we have independentlylearnt about the world.

Westopcaring.Westopasking.Wealready know what the answer is foreverything.Whoneedsevidencewhenyouhave

A NEW year represents a fresh start ­ and for parentssending their children to school for the first time itis both a daunting and exciting moment. While theemotional sentiments cannot be discarded, we needto critically analyse the education department’s ef­forts to ensure that grade 1 pupils are retained in thesystem, and graduate 12 years later.

This yearly influx of children into a system whichseems to churn out in mass numbers unemployableyouth, needs to be critically analysed at each stage,to ascertain the key trouble areas.

We cannot set aside the stark reality that nearlyhalf of those who started grade 1 12 years ago did notgraduate at the end of this year.

While socio­economic issues are a key driver in in­hibiting many of the youth from reaching their full po­tential, education needs to then be the great leveller.Socio­economic issues are not new phenomenon.

Yet, government, educationalists and academicsin the field seem to be playing catch at the start of

each year when the results don’t reflect the improve­ments they envisioned.

Apartheid left a defining scar on the educationsystem in this country.

However, the onus now rests on the current ad­ministration to be more proactive in ensuring that theyouth become better educated and are released fromthe shackles of poverty. This proactivity needs to per­meate through to every level of the system.

So while parents find themselves in a state of hap­piness as they watch their children embark on thisnew journey, we need to apply cautious optimism re­garding the longevity of the average child’s schoolingcareer.

While this “glass­half empty” approach certainlyputs a damper on these sentimental moments, it isa necessary precursor to ensure that we understandand reflect on the mammoth task which lies ahead.

Matrics: What to doif you don’t do well>> Options for matric

pupils

WHILE some matrics may be haveperformed at their very best,many others have to deal with

the realisation that they did not have per­formed well enough to pass or qualify fortheir chosen field of study.

“This is traditionally a harrowing periodfor matriculants who feel that under­per­formance could sound the death­knell fortheir hopes, dreams and aspirations,” saysDr Felicity Coughlan, director of The Inde­pendent Institute of Education, SA’s larg­est and most accredited private higher ed­ucation provider.

“These pupils now need all the emo­tional guidance and support they can getfrom those around them, particularly as itis essential that they regain a sense of per­spective,” she says.

Coughlan adds that although disap­

pointment, anger and anxiety may charac­terisethefirstresponsesfollowingunsatis­factory results, the sooner people are ableto move to a solution orientation in theface of disappointment, the quicker solu­tions ­ which do exist ­ will be identified.

“Given enough space and support,most young people will regain a sense ofcontrol when they are able to make a ratio­nal decision about how to proceed.”

Options available to pupils who did notdo as well as they hoped, include:

WRITING SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMS“Here, consultation with the school is

best as there are very limited circumstanc­es under which these are available for ma­triculants. But where they do exist, theymust obviously be leveraged. Many institu­tions will accept students provisionally ifthey are eligible for a supplementary ex­

amination, but succeeding in that exami­nation is then required to remain regis­tered,” explains Coughlan.

REPEATING THE YEAR“Where the gap between what you

want to do and how well you did is so bigthat the doors are all closed, repeating theyear is an option. There are things to takeinto consideration though.

Now may be the time to be realisticabout your own ability to achieve the goalyou set. In my case, for instance, no matterhow much I wanted to, I was never goingto be able to do well enough in Maths tobe an engineer.

“The second thing is to understand thatif you are going to repeat the year, you mustknow exactly what you need to achieve. Itmay be prudent to redo everything, but onthe other hand perhaps smarter to ‘bank’

the few excellent marks you did get. Beclinical and analytical in mapping whatyou need.

“The third thing is to think about whereand how you are going to repeat. Depend­ing on your age and school policy, you couldreturn to the school you have just left; oryou could enrol full or part time in a schoolfocused on either matric or the last fewyears of schooling.”

CONSIDER ANOTHER HIGHER EDUCA­TION INSTITUTION

Coughlan says that if learners did notdo well enough to be accepted for theirchosen studies at their preferred institu­tion, they should examine all the other op­tions out there.

“These should include both private andpublic institutions. Remember that SouthAfrica has only one quality assurance sys­

tem, so if you enrol at a registered and ac­credited institution, there are lots of op­tions still open in the private sector, whichmay suit you even better in terms of thelevel of focus and student support you willreceive.”

CONSIDER A DIFFERENT COURSE ORPART­TIME STUDY

While it may be too late to register ata public institution, private institutions of­ten continue to accept enrolments if theyhave space left, and they generally offer arange of exciting degree, diploma and cer­tificate courses.

“Full qualifications are however notyour only option,” Coughlan notes. “Youmay also want to look at focused trainingor short courses.”

CONSIDER VOLUNTEER OR OTHERWORK OPPORTUNITIES

It may well be that you need to spendthe year working ­ perhaps while studyingpart time, says Coughlan.

“Opportunities to volunteer at commu­nity based organisations ­ full or part timedependingonyourpersonalcircumstances­ should also be considered,” saidCoughlan.

Getting ready for schoolWEEKLY REPORTER

THE beginning of a new school year signifies the startof education costs. Parents spend on average be­tween R400 and R1 000 per child on stationery, de­pending on whether stationery is included in schoolfees, while uniform costs can reach an astronomicalR3 000, and this excludes school fees, a dauntingstart to the year, but it appears as though most par­ents are well prepared.

Alta and Aubrey Philips say they initially spentR800 on stationery for their two children, but havenot bought everything.

“Uniforms are especially expensive this year sincemy daughter is starting Grade 6 and my son has toget a special matric uniform,” Alta says.

These she estimates will cost her R2 500 andR3 000 respectively, but these parents have saved for

this during the year.“I spent R400 today and bought the beginning­of­

the­year stationery for R800 earlier,” Gavin Pillaysays.

He says his girls have looked after their uniformswell and buying new ones aren’t necessary.

Having received a 10% mystery discount Carlosand Lily Quintal spent over R1 000 on stationery fortwo high school children.

Theyfelt itwasreasonableasLily isaschoolteach­er who says stationery costs in the region of R800 perpupil.

“We still have to buy school pants and shoes,which will likely cost R400,” says Carlos.

“I spent R2 000 on stationery for my two children.“Fortunately, they do not need new uniforms and

I saved during the year for this,” Sindisiwe Khumalosays.

FOLLOWING a busy period of new­modellaunches in South Africa last year, 2015shows no sign of slowing down with manyall­new vehicles and upgrades headed ourway. Here are some of the highlights:

Sports carsWell­heeled high­performance enthu­

siasts have several pulse­quickening carsto look forward to, including the new two­seater Mercedes­AMG GT which arrives inMay to replace the SLS. In March the much­awaited C63 AMG will make its local debut,and competing with it for the attention ofhot­blooded petrol heads will be the high­performance Lexus RCF, flagship of thenew RC coupé range arriving later this year.

Another notable sports car headedhere around November is Ford’s Mustang.Also on the possible radar for 2015 is Por­sche’s venomous 911 GT3 RS.

Honda’s Civic Type­R will give boy­rac­ers something to get excited about whenit lands in the third quarter of this year

sporting a powerful new turboengine, while Mini’s rapid JohnCooper Works, Audi’s hot RS3and third­generation TT are alsoon the 2015 launch list. Mazda’sMX5 and the Spider version of Al­fa’s stunning 4C give convertiblefans something to look forward to.

City carsAt the more modestly powered and

priced end of the market, several new af­fordable small­car ranges are headed ourway, starting with the A­segment SuzukiCelerio hatch later this month to replacethe Alto. It will be followed in February byVW’snewUp!three­doorhatch,asmallcarwith big ambitions.

Other upcoming city cars are the newToyota Aygo arriving around mid­year, anda safety­upgraded Datsun Go (with ABSand airbags). Daimler’s Smart Fortwo citycar gets here in December followed by theForfour a few months later.

Compact carsMoving up to slightly bigger hatch­

backs, Opel’s Adam has just landed in SAto compete with the likes of the Fiat 500and Honda’s new Jazz arrives later thismonth.

BMW’s first front­wheel­drive car, the2 Series Active Tourer, goes on sale laterthis month. March sees the launch of Cit­roën’s outlandishly­styled C4 Cactus along

months, to be followed by the newVolkswagen Passat around mid­year.

Towards the end of the year Jaguar’s XEsedan heads here to take on the likes of theBMW 3 Series.

The facelifted VW Jetta has just hittown (see story elsewhere in this issue).

Luxury carsThe swoopy coupé version of the Mer­

cedes S­Class will be in local showroomsby the end of this month, featuring a CurveTilt function that leans the car’s body intoa bend — much like a biker or skier would

— to reduce lateral forces on the driver andpassengers.

SUVsBuyers seeking big cabin space and a

generous ride height will have lots tochoose from this year. BMW’s second­gen­eration X6, the Land Rover Discovery Sport(which replaces the Freelander), the newKia Sorento, the retro­styled Jeep Rene­gade, the Subaru Outback, the X3­rivallingnew Lexus NX, and the new Infiniti QX80will all cruise in during the first half of theyear.
