(DIRECTOR: PLANNING, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TO ACTION) Page 322 APPENDIX 1 APPENDIX 1 Page 323 Monthly Report NOVEMBER 2015 Community Development Department Implementing the model of partnerships between the municipality and local organizations to collectively further development in the community. This is done by focussing on existing resources and needs as identified by the particular community. The model is based on EPWP appointments under supervision and mentorship of the Community Development Co-ordinator of the municipality to address capacity shortfalls in the department and to capacitate, strengthen and develop existing local resources. Cloetesville EPWP Contract Worker: Wynanda Jacobs Training: The Early Years services Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) training was held at the ward office for the week of 913 November. The EPWP worker was asked to assist and to mobilise people from the community to attend. This program is focussed on the teachers of ECD centres as well as parents. 12 Community members attended in total. The content of the training was focussed on substance abuse (alcohol in particular), the effects thereof on the development of the foetus and the role of educators and parents when dealing with a child with FAS. The participants received certificates at the end of the course. Red Cross Training for volunteers to assist with reintegration of offenders into the community as part of a rehabilitation period was held at the Cloetesville Ward Offices. 10 People attended the three day workshop. The volunteers that have been trained will facilitate the program once it is implemented. Further training will be provided before the end of the year and during next year. The first program will be on World Aids Day the 1st of December 2015. Activities The after school program is still on going from 3h00-17h00. An average of 30 learners and children attend the afternoon sessions. Kids still do handmade products like paper flowers etc. Baking rice cakes. Doing homework. Playing games Assistance is still provided with the writing of CV’s. One of the youngsters that were assisted with a CV, is currently volunteering to clean up the streets. Elderly group The EPWP worker had a meeting to guide them with programmes for 2016 and get more elderly people involved in their project. During the needs assessment of the IDP of both wards of Cloetesville more activities and programmes for Cloetesville was identified and the elderly club is willing to help in these activities. They will focus on more outreaches and access to information on issues concerning them. They have also been tasked to invite more elderly to the group. The long-term plan is to get them to be registered as a service centre which could lead to the Department of Social Development assisting the club through a subsidy. Stakeholder engagements and meetings: Staff meeting SAAYC Meeting - The SAAYC AGM was held in Johannesburg on the 28 November. Feedback received from SAAYC national relating to the grant and the Dreamers Awards provided by them informed attendees that 1 Page 324 these support programmes will be suspended until further notice due to fraud that was picked up at some of the clubs. Meeting with the Dept. Community Services to assist in the revitalisation program for Cloetesville area. Assistance was also provided with the delivery of social relief of distress during the recent Klapmuts and Nkanini fire incidents. Idas Valley EPWP Contract Worker: Yolanda Marthinus Recycling The group started with a recycling project where they were taught to make a new product out of used products. They took 2 litter bottles and transformed it into pot plant holders. Plants were then planted in these holders and each child is now responsible for the caring of the plant. With the water restrictions that are currently implemented, the EPWP worker also educated the children on water saving and to use their grey water from their dishes and washing machine to water their plants as well as their gardens at home. In light of recent loadshedding recycling was also applied to providing light in the absence of candles. The group collected old glass jars (mayonnaise; coffee; etc) and was taught to make lights with water, paraffin and string. This was done through adding paraffin on top of water in the jar and lowering the string into the jar. Due to the danger of spreading fire should the jar fall over emphasis was placed on the safe handling of paraffin. Education dealt with normal safety information, having an adult present when working with paraffin and safe keeping of materials that came into contact with the toxin. As we are currently in fire season, time was also spend on securing the “light” in terms of keeping it away from curtains, areas that are subseptable to drafts and people walking past it. Luckhoff School needed a stage to perform the end of year play. This was achieved by involving 18 boys under the guidance of Mr Abrahams in a wood working project. Old wooden fruit bins were collected and Mr A tought the boys how to measure, saw and nail the planks together to make a stage. The group were asked to collect old jeans from family and community members. The jeans were then cut up in pieces to be sewn together and in order to create a new piece of clothing. The group were shown how to cut the different patterns and one of the mothers volunteered to sew it together to create waistcoats. Indigenous games: The youngsters are currently enjoying the street soccer. As the games continue in the streets the number of participants grow each time. The EPWP worker facilitates some life-skills sessions whie they are playing in the streets, focussing on respect for others as well as being a good sportsman. Heinrich Fortuin has been selected as the coach for DCAS within the Stellenbosch area to assist with training for 3-stokkies. He will select 2 groups that is currently performing well to be part of further individual training. The kids currenty plays skalulu and 3-stokkies frequently. 2 Page 325 Culture: The EPWP worker is assisting with the training of the Gr R learners for their culture evening. She taught them different dances. The focus of the dances was on expression of feelings without having to use words. In a society where the children are not used to voicing their emotions in a constructive manner, the aim was for them to first experience their own emotions and then to try and illustrate the emotion through dance. Health: On the 14th of November it was World Diabetes Day. Together with Stellenbosch Hospice an information session was held with the Gr 7 learners at Bruckner primary. This illness is becoming more and more prominent with the youth and not many understand the illness completely. They were informed to live a healthy lifestyle whether you are diabetic or not. Testing was available and 30 kids and educators tested as part of the programme. After school program: The EPWP worker started with reading sessions after school. There is a need for the learners to know the basics. They are currently struggling to identify words while they are reading and therefore lose interest. By assisting them with reading, we want to build their confidence within their classrooms. Disaster management: The EPWP worker assisted with the handing out of food during the Klapmuts and Kayamandi (Nkanini) fire incident . Stakeholder engagements: The EPWP worker had 2 separate meetings with Dirk form Franschoek who came to take some photos of young entrepreneurs and top achievers of Idas Valley to complete his brochure. Drama Festival The Department of Cultural Affairs, Sport and Recreation’s biggest initiative in the Cape Winelands “The Cape Winelands Drama Festival Finale” was held at the Stellenbosch Town Hall on Saturday the 21st November 2015. Since its inception in 2013 Langeberg Municipality has hosted the Finale showcase but this year Stellenbosch Municipality in partnership with Cape Winelands District Municipality proudly hosted this event. The Finale is the conclusion of the annual drama programme where youth were not only given an opportunity to showcase their talents but received development from sector professionals in the field of dramatic theatre (script writing, acting and production). We have been supporting this initiative since its inception providing necessary input to make the festival successful. Since our involvement in this programme this has been the first year that one of our local groups (Combined Theatre Group of Kayamandi) made it to the final. Awards to the winners were made by Minister Anroux Marais (DCAS) and Clr Frazenburg (Stellenbosch Municipality). The prize includes a spot at the Suidoosterfees held at the Artscape Theatre as well as the Zabalaza Festival at the Baxter Theatre. Although our local group did not win, we are still proud of them for reaching the final. 3 Page 326 16 Days of Activism Caleb Development organisation in collaboration with the Stellenbosch Municipality, hosted a celebration for Women on the 21st of November 2015 at Weber Primary School. 100 women were invited to be part of this event to celebrate and to start with the 16 days of activism campaign. Tjommies, a local drama group were also part of the program demonstrating the issues of women in our communities. Caleb will be doing follow-up workshops on farms on the rights of women and the processes to follow reporting abuse. The objectives of the 16 Days Campaign are to: • Motivate everyone to be active participants in the fight to eradicate violence against women and children, hence the theme: Count me in. • Ensure mass mobilisation of all communities to promote collective responsibility in the fight to eradicate violence against women and children. • Encourage society to acknowledge that violence against women and children is NOT a government or criminal justice system problem, but a societal problem, and that failure to view it as such results in all efforts failing to eradicate this scourge in our communities. • Emphasize the fact that the solution lies with all of us. 4 Page 327 DISASTER MANAGEMENT The Department was involved with Social Relief of Distress during fires in our municipal area informal settlements.
