WineorderboostsPaarl job creation

A Paarl-based job creation project, that

enjoys a royal stamp of approval for its

luxurious products, was visited by a top

municipal and craft delegation lastweek.

Theparty included the portfolio councillor

for Local Economic Development, Dr Thys

Smith, and the municipal manager of the

Drakenstein Municipality, Johann Mettler.

The Cape Craft and Design Institute, with its

headquarters inCapeTown,wasrepresented

by the programmes director, Mariette Wil-

liams, and colleagues. Antoinette Ver-

mooten, chief executive officer of Bayede!,

represented the job creation project.

They visited the Yoliswa project in the

Mbekweni township, which is part of the

Bayede! marketing project. Sveral Bayede!

(Hail to the King in Zulu) luxury products

were on display which included wine, rooi-

bos tea, bed linen, handbags and pottery, all

decorated with locally produced beadwork.

The Yoliswa project is among 80 entities

that benefit directly and indirectly from a

project endorsed by His Majesty King Good-

will Zwelithini KaBhekuzulu and Her Royal

Highness,QueenMantfombiZulu.Theyhave

permission to display the royal arms and the

legend By appointment appear on their

products. Key features are quality, originali-

ty and job creation.

The visitors and Bayede! were celebrating

two recent business highlights: more invest-

ment funding to grow the enterprise, and a

massive order to embellish bottles of wine

destined for China.

ment of an area, as well as in their own eco-

nomic upliftment.

Drakenstein Municipality fully supports

this initiative and applauds those residents

ofMbekweni who take their development in-

to their own hands.

According to Mariette Williams of CCDI

it was inspiring to see craft used in the mak-

Hat-trick for cricketer

FRANS LE ROUX

A boy from Paarl recently be-

came one of a very few people

ever to take three wickets

through stumping his oppo-

nents.

Carl Potgieter (13), a Gr. 8 pupil

at Gimnasium High School plays

cricket for the u.14 A-side. He is

their fiery wicket-keeper with a

passion for the game.

I couldnt believe it when I

stumped the third player. I have

been playing cricket since Gr. 2

andI love thegame.AlthoughIam

newtothepositionofwicket-keep-

er, I enjoy the challenge. All the

action normally happens behind

the wickets.

According to Wisden (Global

cricket statistics) the likelihood

of a hat-trick achieved through

stumpings are extremely

scarce.

Carl took the wickets off the

bowling of his friend Curtley

Monkwho also took a hat-trick.

The game was played against

BolandAgriculturalSchooland

Gimnasium won by four wick-

ets.

Carl also likesother sportand

is a good rugby player.

et playerhas tobeFaf duPlessis

He would like to focus on

cricket after school. And per-

haps one day he will play for

Opinion

Promote job creationand tourism

A small move has been made recently towards local job creation by

a company using crafters from informal settlements to decorate export

products.

Amongst our local communities we have many talented crafters and

artists who have the potential of creating beautiful work for tourists

and the export market. But in our area there has never been a true

platform to exhibit and sell these goods.

Yes, there was the Ikhwezi Centre inMbekweni that received foreign

funding to promote such job opportunities. But the location of Ikhwezi

just did not make this venture viable. Not to mention some financial

irregularities which took place with funds received.

JustdrivearoundtheDrakensteinandtrytobuyaforeigneramemen-

to of South Africa. We dont mean the imported African artefacts, but

rather goods crafted within communities which depict local cultures.

Perhaps the powers that be should take a closer look at combining

tourism and the wine industry, together with those who want to see

De Poort Historic Village flourish. Surely here can be a platform for

all who can contribute to local tourism to create a tourism centre.

Kleintyd, as ons vanWorcester se

kant af oor die ouDutoitskloofpas

gery hetmet ons kleinAustin-mo-

tortjie, het my pa dikwels by n

nou reeds vergange motorhawe

onderaandie pas gestop ompetrol

integooi.Daarkonmenskleinmi-

niatuur-weergawes van die Afri-

kaanse Taalmonument koop, ter

ondersteuning van die oprigting

daarvan bo-op Paarlberg.

Diemonumentmet sydrie suile

bly vir my loer elke keer as ek in

en om die Paarl ry, of weer van

iewers af deur die tonnel huis-

waarts keer.

Oor die afgelope paar jaar het

die monument in meer as net n

sementtroon ontwikkel waar-

heen busvragte toeriste aangery

word. Dit is dees-

dae die venue van

enigiets van ster-

rekyk-uitstappies,

maanligpiek-

nieks, rieldans-

kompetisies, bui-

telugkonserte tot

skoleuitreikpro-

jekte en n eetplek

met nuitsigaldiepadtotbyTafel-

berg. Dis n monument met lewe.

Die ding van monumente is na-

tuurlik dat dit gewoonlik opgerig

word ter erkenning van iets of ie-

mand, n gebeurtenis of n ideaal.

Dis grootliks n vorm van dankie

s. n Dankie hoef natuurlik nie

noodwendig van sement of brons

gemaak wees nie.

So dink ek aan die skoonseun

wat n tydjie terug n opvoedings-

fonds vir n skooltjie op die been

gebring het uit erkenning vir die

manier waarop sy skoonma (nog-

al!) haar man versorg het nadat

di ernstig beseer is in n aanval

op hul klein plattelandse dorpie.

Haar optrede getuig van n on-

wrikbare wil en geloof dat daar

daagliks gebou moet word aan n

beter toekoms, het hy geskryf in

n brief aanmoontlike ondersteu-

ners van die fonds, wat nou sy

skoonma se naam dra. Hy verwys

na haar as iemand met inbors,

deursettingsvermo,medemenslik-

heiden innerlikekrag terselfder-

tyd woorde wat hom ook toekom

omdat hy besluit het om nie net

op die negatiewe van die aanval

te broei nie, maar eerder te fokus

op die inspirasie wat hy geput het

uit die wyse waarop alles daar

rondom hanteer is.

Onlangs lees ek die boek van

Randy Pausch, n Amerikaanse

professor wat bekend geword het

vir sy sogenaamde Last Lecture-

toespraak by Carnegie Mellon

Universiteit, kort n hy met ter-

minale pankreaskanker gedia-

gnoseer is. Daarin vertel hy hoe

die drome uit sy kinderjare waar

geword het, op een of ander ma-

nier, en die lewenslesse wat hy in

die proses ervaar het. Hy vertel

dat hy eens n vrou aangestel het

bo ander veelmeer gekwalifiseer-

de mense bloot omdat hy n hand-

geskrewe dankie-s

briefie aan n ampte-

naar in haar ler ge-

vind het.

Dinotaaan namp-

tenaar wat op geen

manier n invloed op

haar aanstellingskan-

se kon gehad het nie,

het hom meer van

haar karakter gewys as wat enige

onderhoud sou kon doen.

Uit die aard hoef n dankie nie

net n groot gebaar wees nie. Dit

kan ges word deur n waatle-

moen aan te dra in ruil vir n guns

wat gedoen is, of in n SMS, n

kaartjie of n drukkie.

Die berig gaan hoofsaaklik oor

vier inwoners naby die sogenaam-

n nuwe platform probeer vind om

hul vele en dikwels opgeblaasde

MrSAcompetition

Thirteen years ago a young and hopeful

Thaamir Moerat, then just 19 years old,

represented the Western

Cape in Mr SA, one of

South Africas most pres-

tigious competitions.

Now, many years on and

through his company Sell-

Hard.co.za, Thaamir has

beenappointedasoneof five

principle judges and moti-

vational speaker for the du-

ration of the Mr South Afri-

ca competition which

kicked off in Sandton last

weekend.

Thaamir travelled toGau-

teng to narrow the group of

more than 200 entrants from

all over South Africa to 50.

As the competition progresses, that number

will drop to 30, 20 and eventually the top

twelve will compete for the coveted title of

Mr South Africa 2013 at a glitz event which

will be televised in August.

The competition is good this year and I

feel honoured to have been approached to

judge and ultimately select the next Mr SA.

We are looking for a Michael Mol type per-

sonality to take the title to the

next level, the same manner

in which Michael did.

There are a few good can-

didates but timewill tell. The

contestants will be given an

entrepreneurial challenge

this year where they would

need to market themselves

andcertainproductsover the

next few months. Mr SA

should not just be a pretty

face or healthy body, but the

ultimate speaker and busi-

nessmen. That is what I will

be looking for this year.

Another Paarlite, Mr

Winelands 2012 - Saligh Dol-

lie hasmade it through to the

top 50 andwill be competing for the title this

year. The 22-year-old, originally from Gau-

teng, is a marketing student at Boland Col-

Vlag-vervaardigervlieghoog

FRANS LE ROUX

n Vlagvervaardigingsmaatskappy van

Wellingtonhetpasdie grootsteSuid-Afri-

kaanse landsvlag voltooi wat binnekort

in Port Elizabeth (Duncan Reserve) sal

wapper.

FahnenFleck Suid-Afrika, in die Welling-

ton-nywerheidsgebied, bestaan reeds vyf

jaarenmaakondermeervlae,baniereenpro-

mosie-items. Die maatskappy bestaan inter-

nasionaal reeds 138 jaar, maar n ketting-

groepafdeling is onlangs deur oudburge-

meester Herman Bailey bekom. Sy seun,

Bernhard Bailey, is die maatskappy se ver-

koopsdirekteur en hulle bied werk aan agt

mense van Wellington.

Die vlag is 150 m groot en weeg net 16 kg.

Die vlag het onsmeer as sewe dae geneem

om te voltooi. Met ons nuwe Strong Flag-ma-

teriaal het ons dit reggekry om byna 10 kg te

spaar op die gewig van die vorige vlag wat

so groot was, vertel Bernhard.

Aangesien die vlag op n vlagpaal gaan

hang wat sowat 40 m in die lug strek, moet

talle faktore in ag geneemword voor die vlag

gehys kan word. As die wind eers die vlag

skep en hy begin waai, slaan dit soos n ge-

weerskoot. Ons moes ook eers toestemming

by burgerlike lugvaart kry omdat die vlag

moontlik vliegtuie se roetes konbelemmer.

Die oorspronklike planwas nie om n vlag

van di grootte vir Port Elizabeth te maak

nie, maar FahnenFleck is genader deur n

klintwat te hore gekomhet van n beplande

groot vlag wat in Boksburg gaan pronk.

Watonsvlaeookandersmaak isdiedeur-

sigtige materiaal. Duisende gaatjies aan die

voor en agterkant verseker nie net dat die

vlag ligter is nie, maar laat hom ook langer

hou. Wanneer die wind sterk waai, rek die

materiaal enverseker sodoendedat die druk

op die nate verminder.

Diegrootsteuitdagingwatdiemaatskappy

gehad het was om die vlag aanmekaar te sit.

Omdat ons landsvlag soveel kleure en de-

tail op het, was die aanmekaarheg van die

panele geweldig uitdagend. Ons naaldwer-

kers moes ure lank die nate nagaan en sorg

dat die kleure tot op diemillimeter regwas.

FahnenFleck se toekomsplanne is om so-

veel moontlik kontrakte te kry. Ons wil

graag die gemeenskap bemagtig en werk-

skepping bevorder. In die nabye toekoms

word twee nuweFahnenFleck-takke beplan,

een in Johannesburg en een in Durban.

nard Bailey have just completed the largest

die sentrum.

Volgens hom heers daar groot opgewon-

rikste daarvan is die ooreenkomste wat die

sentrum met Johan Enslin en Winand

sluit het.

aan Wellington se jong mense n unieke ge-

leentheid bied om deeglike opleiding oor n

wye spektrum van die kunste te ontvang.

Hoewel die kollege se administrasie voor-

taan vanaf die sentrum bestuur sal word, sal

die lesse in drama, sang enmusiek steeds by

die skool plaasvind. Die ervare onderwys-

man, Louis du Preez, tree as die kollege se

kurrikulum-bestuurder op.

Benewens die feit dat Wellington se jong

mensemetbehulpvandiekollege inverskeie

vertakkings van die kunste opgelei sal word,

beoog die kollege ook omvanjaar n volwaar-

digedorpskoor opdie been tebring.AlleWel-

lingtonners wat in koorsang belang stel en

wat lid wil word van die nuwe dorpskoor,

Avondale cleansupwithCollect-a-Can

Pupils of Avondale Pre-School in the

Paarl Valley learnt that recycling and

cleaning up the environment pays off

when their school was awarded

R15 000 at the Collect-a-Can schools

prize-giving event.

Last year the school managed to collect

914 cans per pupil, earning them second

prize in Category Two (a category for

smaller schools) of Collect-a-Cans Na-

tional Schools Competition in the Cape

Town region.

The Collect-a-Can National Schools

Competition requires schools that regis-

ter for the competition to get their pupils

involved in collecting as many used bev-

erage cans as possible during the year.

Avondale Pre-school was founded and

is financed through Avondale Estates part-

nership with Avondale Community Organi-

sation, a non-profit organisation established

andoperatedonAvondaleEstate by the farm-

workers, in conjunctionwithWaitrose Foun-

dation. The project organiser, Nadia Retief,

and theAvondale farmingcommunityarede-

lighted with the result. Half of the money

went towards the Avondale Community Or-

ganisation for other development and uplift-

ment projects on the farm, says Retief.

Painting and improving the classroom are

two key areas that we will consider as well

as maintenance around the school.

While entering the Collect-a-Can

Schools Competition can prove very re-

warding, it is not without its challenges.

It involvesa lotofhardworkandorganisa-

tion. Buy-in from the community and

their involvement have been central to

our success, as the community has united

around the project to donate their used

cans, Retief explains.

The school holds its own competitions

to motivate the pupils to participate. We

offer incentives to thepupilswhobringthe

most cans over a three month period,

which definitely keeps them motivated

and engaged in the project.

This was the second year that Avondale

Pre-School was involved in the competi-

tion. The community and their children

are all very eager and dedicated to ensure

anotherwin andhave already started collect-

ing more cans, said Retief.

For more information about Collect-a-Can

contact the Collect-a-Can head office on 011

466 2939 or visit the website www.collecta-

can.co.za. Collect-a-Can is also on Facebook

(http://www.facebook.com/CollectaCan)

The Avondale farming community and the Pre

school pupils are delighted that their school was

awarded R15 000 in the CollectaCans National

Schools Competition in the Cape Town region.

Paarl Schoolof Skills

winsR25000

Stellenberg High School is the 2012 win-

ner of the ATKVs Handevat project, for

taking hands with Paarl School of Skills.

With this annual project, the ATKV (Afri-

kaanseTaal- enKultuurvereniging)wants to

encourage schools

from affluent areas

to establish a sus-

tainable empower-

ment project at a

school of their

choice in a previ-

ously disadvan-

taged community.

Such a projectmust

involve both

schoolsandmustbe

to the advantage of

the bigger disad-

vantaged commu-

nity.

Stellenberg High

School receivedR50

000 for the commu-

nity development

project they estab-

lished at the Paarl

School of Skills,

who received

R25 000. Most of the 280 pupils at this school

come from poor communities, rife with vio-

lence and abuse. The schools curriculum

places less emphasis on academic perform-

ance and teaches a range of skills suchas car-

pentry, welding and needlework, amongst

others, enabling pupils to enter the labour

market and obtain employment. Gardening

cannowbeadded to this list afterStellenberg

High School established a food garden at the

PaarlSchool,whosepupilshaveaccepted full

responsibility formaintaining theirnewgar-

den.

Through this project, Stellenberg High

wanted to provide their peers at the Paarl

School with some much needed resources to

help them reach their full potential. Project

Handevat, at the same time, forged friend-

ships between two very different groups of

young people who otherwise might never

have met.

The Stellenberg student council is very ac-

tive, and ac-

cording to

Len Keller-

man, chairper-

son of the

councils com-

munity com-

mittee, they

pour them-

selves heart

and soul into

their annual

outreach

project. In

2010, Stellen-

bergdecidedto

establish a

permanent

partnership

between the

two schools.

According to

ATKV Hande-

vatsprojector-

ganiser, Lizan Basson, the project was the

Stellenberg pupils own initiative. They

kept it alive and found creative ways to ac-

tively showhowmuch they care for their fel-

low man.

Apart from creating the food garden, the

school annually donates rain jackets to keep

the first years at the Paarl school warm and

dry, and two consignments of stationery

were collected. Sports equipment, toiletries,

780 garments, two boxes of accessories and

120 pairs of shoeswere collected and donated

to the school. The feeding scheme at the

school was given a much needed boost by a

donation of non-perishable foods.

Paarl South comes to life

Formany years the heart of Paarl

South has almost been forgotten.

Thispart of the townwith theorigi-

nal Paarl Station as its heartbeat,

was once a thriving business area.

The stationwasoncea strategic junc-

tion into the interior.

Then there was an astonishing

numberofshopsaswellassmallbusi-

nesses, a hotel and a number of bars,

a bank and post office. There were at

least five general dealers in Paarl

Southon the corner ofConcordia and

Station Streets. Therewas Trope and

Kahanowitz, and in Station Street,

Goss, Peck,Moffsen andDevine&Co

(where the Labori shopping centre is

today). And what about Ballie Abra-

hams fish and chips shop, Gawie

Jonker, theshoemaker,onthecorner

ofHartford and Station Streets, Cyril

Backs butchery, IzzyMoffsens shop

and Robert Kaplans pharmacy?

And lets not forget the still thriv-

ing Clift Granite Works.

David Back also had an engineer-

ing works in the area and Paarl Sta-

tions children bought ice-cream

from Sabodka.

But as business later moved fur-

ther towards the centre of Paarl, this

area all but died a quiet death.

Businesses where forced to close

their doors, the hotel fell into disre-

pairandbecamehometocriminalac-
