Matrics Matrikulante

Drie plaaslike hoërskole — die Hoër-skool Merensky, Stanford Lake College (privaat skool) en die Hoërskool Ben Vorster — se 2015-matriekleerlinge het hul kant gebring en die skole spog met verskeie presteerders. Wat onderskeidings betref was die oes weer lekker groot. Vier leerlinge het uitgestaan: An-drea Devenish van Merensky is een van Limpopo se dertig toppresteerders. Sy het nege onderskeidings behaal, is negende in Limpopo en sy is die provinsie se topmatriek in die vak rekenaartoe-passingstegnologie. Thokozile Khoza,

ook van Merensky, het agt onderskeidings behaal en Kristie Badenhorst van Merensky het sewe onderskeidings en is een van die topdertig in Limpopo, na-dat sy as die provinsie se toppresteerder in die vak besigheidstudies aangewys is. Conrad Schmidt van Stanford het sewe onderskeidings behaal (hy word deur die onafh anklike eksamenraad lof toegeswaai) en hy is een van slegs een persent leerlinge landwyd wat top-prestasies in Afrikaans en lewensweten-skappe behaal het. • Berigte en foto’s op bladsye 7 tot 12.

Beurtwater kan red• Droogte raak nou sorgwekkend vir landbou

Kristie Badenhorst

Gister (Donderdag) se versengende hitt e het sommige boere byna paniek-bevange laat opmerk dat die droogte nou “baie erger is as wat ons besef”. Vanuit alle oorde in die Mopani-distrik, die groter Laeveld-streek en die wye gebied van Limpopo styg ‘n noodkreet op: “Mag dit tog gou kom reën!”. Twee van die Bulletin se joernaliste, Louis Roux en Joe Dreyer het met boere, die weerdiens, kon-sultante en landbouleiers gesels en ook enkele plase en damme besoek, om eerstehands te hoor en sien wat die uitwerking van die erge droogte is. Joe het die foto hiernaas van die Tzaneedam geneem, waar die daling van die watervlak nou daagliks met die blote oog waargeneem kan word.

Vlieg onthou so vroeg in die nuwe jaar om die een of ander rede die storie van die juf-frou in die Noord-Kaap wat vir die voor-skoolse klassie in die Kleurlingskooltjie Bybelklas gee. Vra sy vir die klassie allerhande vra-gies, onder andere vra sy wie al die blommet-jies en die diertjies en die wolkies ge-maak het. Waarop die klassie soos in ‘n spreekkoor ant-woord: Die Jirre… en seën Hom! En wie het al die berge en die voëltjies en die reën gemaak? vra sy: Die Jirre… en seën Hom! En toe vra sy wie al die bakleiery en die stelery en die drinkery en doodmakery en al die ander sondes gemaak het. Waarop die klassie antwoord: Die duiwel… en boggher hom!

Vlieg weet nie of dit is dat hy vanjaar so warm kry dat dit voel of hy naby die hel is, en of dit al die sondes van die wêreld is wat so uitbroei dat selfs hy ook amper wil begin glo dat daar regtig ‘n duiwel is

nie, maar iets sal vanjaar moet gebeur in ons ou landjie, voor daar hel uit-

bars of die duiwel los raak! Of is dit te laat?

Om by die tema te hou en omdat hy nie so ‘n lekker feestyd moes beleef het nie, en ook omdat daar vroeg vanjaar reeds plaaslike verkniesings gehou gaan word, wil Vlieg graag vanjaar met ‘n spesiale Afrikaanse

The Vervet Monkey Foundation (VMF) in Letsitele recently had too few hands to help with the many orphaned baby vervet mon-keys. Three volunteers had stomach prob-lems and were therefore not allowed to han-dle the babies. In the fi rst few weeks of life these litt le primates are very susceptible to human ailments.

So I was roped in to help care for nine tiny babies over Christmas. It was an exhausting but very rewarding experience and an in-sight into the Foundation’s philosophy and never-ending work.

The VMF directors, Mr Dave du Toit and his wife Josie, run the sanctuary on vegan lines. Volunteers, from all over the world, pay to come and look aft er and learn about vervet monkeys. The living is basic. There are wooden cabins with simple furniture and no electricity. There’s a communal wash-room with, as Josie so sweetly describes the long drop, a few eco-toilets.

There’s a separate communal area where volunteers can relax and cook and an open-plan dining room area. The history of the VMF is writt en on the dining room columns and walls.

The volunteers stay and help anything from a few weeks to a few months. Some are permanent staff ers who have qualifi cations in biology, veterinary fi elds or conservation.

There were four volunteers with the babies. The nursery is separate from all the other en-closures. My shift began aft er an early break-fast and lasted until 16:00 with a short break for lunch. The heat was oppressive but all att ention was focused on the babies.

As the babies are so delicate, volunteers are not permitt ed to wear any chemicals such as sunscreen, perfume, mosquito repellants or

any other kind of creams. Although so very cute, volunteers were instructed not to kiss the babies. Two of the primates had devel-oped mouth thrush which can sometimes be att ributed to human kissing.

Each baby has its own small bott le and gets milk every 15 minutes. Each bott le contains 30 ml and has to be fi nished within four hours. Thereaft er the milk goes off and the babies get ill. Some babies had diarrhea or other prob-lems and had added nutrients in their milk. Each baby has a name. In fact all 500 odd vervets at the VMF have names. Amongst the babies was one very cute male samango mon-key named Mango. Samangos are more intel-ligent than vervets and Mango really didn’t fancy playing much with the vervets.

The babies also cry for their mothers. That’s where the volunteers wrap them in a blan-

ket, soothingly rub their bodies and noses and rock them to sleep.

The babies nap and when awake are very active. They climb all over the volunteers, wee-ing and poo-ing. Fortunately their ex-pulsions don’t smell and there’s toilet paper to clean up their messes. The VMF does not put the babies in nappies as this results in chaffi ng and sometimes bleeding. They cling to the volunteers’ hair and bodies. A volun-teer goes to sickbay, up a litt le hill, and pre-pares more milk every four hours. There is drinking water as well as rehydration fl uids and chopped up vegetables. Every time a baby drinks, eats, moves, sleeps, it’s noted.

Deebo, a male, was found abandoned on a farm, severely dehydrated and malnour-ished. Despite all the care and medical att en-tion Deebo passed away in Josie’s arms on New Year’s Day. It was a huge shock to all as the VMF is renowned for its orphan care and this is the fi rst time an orphan has been lost on Josie’s watch.

The next stage is drinking on their own from the bott le. Once that’s been mastered it’s off to another cage and each baby is al-located a foster mother. Vervet females will look aft er babies that are not their own. This introduction is also monitored with a volun-teer seated outside the cage observing, mak-ing notes and seeing that the bott les are fi lled every four hours with milk and nutrients.

These cages are adjacent to the actual sanc-tuary cages and the curious vervets come and touch the babies through the fence. Eventu-ally the babies with their foster mothers are placed into one of the bigger enclosures. The integration is then complete.

Caring for orphaned baby vervets...

Mango the cutest samango.

The young lady who survived a shark attack this past festive season, is back home and recovering well. Tamsin Scott (23) from Letsitele, told Bulletin this week that she is feel-ing positive about her ordeal and that she has faith in her speedy re-covery.

“I still get sharp pains in my fore-arms, wrist and hands at times but it is not at all unbearable,” she said with a giggle. “Our surgeon did such an excellent job that I don’t think people will believe my story in the years to come, as I doubt I will have any scars as proof!”

The Scott family arrived back home in Letsitele on Monday, after spend-ing most of their December holiday at Mpande Bay on the KZN Wild Coast. Tamsin was in waist-deep water at a private beach when a Bullshark attacked her, severing the tendons and nerve endings in both her arms, rendering them almost en-tirely useless.

She was eventually rushed to Mill-park Hospital in Johannesburg, where she spent twelve days in high care and underwent four surgeries.

Although not having the use of her hands has brought with it some chal-lenges, Tamsin has adapted, impro-vised and overcome those obstacles like a champion.

“There are a few things that we take for granted daily, such as send-ing text messages or making phone calls or even something seemingly insignificant such as scratching an

itch, which has suddenly become a challenge to her,” explained mom Tessa Scott. “But she is a feisty one and has refused to let that affect her ever positive and upbeat mood.”

She has found ways to stay in

touch with friends over whatsapp by replacing text messages with voicenotes and has enabled the voice commands on her phone and tablet allowing for hands-free use.

“I have also managed to handle cups and other objects with my arms and have found a straw to be a most useful tool.”

In regards to the attack itself, Tam-sin said she has no bad memories or

nightmares despite fearing that she would. “I thought that this would haunt me later, but I am not afraid to talk about it and although I do sometimes play the attack back in my mind, it has not affected me in the slightest — except for not really wanting to go back into the ocean anytime soon.

“I think that it may have something to do with a very special talisman I received from a close family friend too.”

A friend of her father had brought her a necklace with a dolphin charm as a gift from Mauritius which, ac-cording to legend, symbolises cour-age and strength after a traumatic event. “It is a very special gesture to me and I wear it every day as a re-minder.”

A final year student at the Univer-sity of Stellenbosch where she is completing her B Com Accounting degree, Tamsin will have to make arrangements with the universi-ty to continue studying via corre-spondence, until she has completely healed. She will be travelling there this month to do so.

“My friends and family have all been very supportive which has helped to keep me upbeat — and I would like to thank the community for the tremendous response and the many positive messages and prayers I received. It is a heart warming ex-perience.”

Tammy on her way to recovery

Greater Letaba Municipality Mayor Godfrey Modjadji official-ly opened seven outdoor gym-nasiums across the municipal district. The handover ceremony was held at Kgapane Stadium on 22 December.

The GLM’s spokesperson, Ms Lovers Maenetje, said the gym-nasiums costed the municipality R3,8 million and the gymnasi-ums were erected in Kgapane Stadium, Senwamokgope Sta-dium, Modjadjiskloof (Library), Koranta Village, Maphalle Vil-lage, Abel Village and at Sek-gopo Community hall (Youth

Centre).“They are aimed at promoting a

healthy lifestyle for all communi-ty members living in the munici-pality’s area,” she said.

“We want to give our commu-nity members an opportunity to live a healthy life and expand on their life span.

“This is an opportunity for the municipal population to grow, because healthy people means a longer life span for our people and less people will die”, mayor Modjadji said.

He threatened to stab her with a knife before taking her to a house and raping her. She was released the following day and raised the alarm,” Ngoepe said.Lim police arrested more than a thousand people during festive season operations: The Limpopo po-lice have arrested more than 1 400 people during special festive season operations, which started on 23 December and ended on 27 December. According to provincial po-lice spokesperson Col Ronel Ott o, 407 peo-ple were arrested for contact crimes, which included murder, att empted murder, rape, assault and robbery. “A total of 111 people were apprehended for driving under the in-fl uence of liquor, 47 undocumented people were arrested, 28 were nabbed for shoplift -ing, 16 for theft while 18 suspects were ar-rested for housebreaking and a further two for stock theft ,” said Ott o.

The provincial police commissioner, Lt Gen Fannie Masemola, congratulated the police on these arrests and warned criminals that police operations would intensify into the New Year. “We will not allow Limpopo to become a breeding ground for criminals from other areas who think they can destabi-lize the peace and stability in the province,” said Masemola.

He urged communities to remain vigilant and not become careless. “We can never be too careful and too prepared and by working with the police and CPFs in our communities we can ensure a safe and enjoyable period for all,” he said.

Deur Louis Roux & Joe DreyerBoord-beurtwater word deur boere in Mopani ingespan om die nypende watertekort te probeer fnuik, maar die tekens is reeds daar dat groot verliese vir die meeste vrugtepro-dusente in die toekoms lê en wag.

Die watervlak van die Tzaneendam het reeds ‘n laagtepunt van 39,9% bereik, teenoor 78,3% in dieselfde tydperk ver-lede jaar, terwyl etlike private plaasdamme droog staan.

Besproeiingsbestuur word tot die uiterste toegepa,s om elke waterdruppel op die regte plek te laat val.

Die reënvalsyfers vir Desember staan op 0, teenoor meer as 200 mm vir die vorige twee jaar se ooreenstemmende tydperke. Invloei van water na die dam het opgedroog, terwyl ‘n bedui-dende vloei daagliks uit die dam losgelaat moet word.

Mnr Pieter Vorster, die voorsitter van AgriLetaba, sê bene-wens die drastiese vermindering van beeskuddes moet si-trusboorde se watertoedeling ook afgeskaal word.

“Net die boorde met goeie drag kry gereeld water, terwyl onderproduserende en ou boorde met besproeiing oorge-slaan word. Ons is reeds ‘n geruime tyd op vyftig persent van ons besproeiingskwota. Die Waterverbruikersraad sal dié maand beslis of groter inkortings nodig sal wees.”

Vorster het ook sy kommer laat blyk oor die verwagte sitrusoes vir 2016, omdat die gebrek aan water tot kleiner vrugte lei. Dit kan ook groter as normale vrugval bring, wat die syfers van vooruitskattings erg kan beïnvloed. Hy het vanuit ‘n

vliegtuig oor ‘n groot deel van die Mopani-distrik waarne-mings op die stand van private damme gedoen, wat hy as “ontstellend” beskryf.

In die Trichardtsdal-/Ofcolaco-gebied word elke boorgat met groot omsigtigheid gebruik. Die voorsitter van die plaaslike boerevereniging, mnr Theuns Kotzee, sê die droogte is vir elke boer ‘n karaktertoets. “Ons pas streng waterbestuur toe, maar bly steeds sterk in ons geloof op ‘n uitkoms van Bo.”

Mnr Kosie Eloff van Soekmekaar sê water in die omge-wing is skaars, maar hul damme en boorgate voorsien nog genoeg water om die boerderye en veral avo-produksie aan die gang te hou.

“Ons is dankbaar vir wat ons het en besproeiingsbeheer word streng toegepas, sodat geen oortollige water toegedien word nie. Die oeste lyk belowend.”

Tzaneen se lietsjieboere het skade gely met vrugte wat weens die droë toestande begin bars het. Die seisoen is egter aan sy einde en die meeste lietsjies vir uitvoer is reeds versend. Vol-gens dr Gerhard Nortjé van Subtrop is die skade gering.

Die piesangprodusente wat by Tzaneen se kanaalstelsel in-geskakel is, hou ook kop bo water, sê mnr Chris Ras. Dis egter die boere wat van boorgate afhanklik is wat op die oomblik sukkel.

Hy het verwys na navorsing oor die El Nino-verskynsel wat aandui dat die eerste goeie reën in die gebied eers in Augus-tus vanjaar verwag kan word.

Mnr Tommie van Zyl, die voorsitter van magtige Bertie van Zyl Boerdery (ZZ2), het gesê dit is die ergste droogte sedert die maer tydperk van 1986 – 1993. Die maatskappy benut egter sy hulpbronne konserwatief, soos dié uit lopende ri-viere, opgaardamme en boorgate. Op die oomblik is hulle aangewese op boorgate, wat genoeg besproeiingswater ver-skaf en produksie aan die gang hou.

‘n Goeie tamatie-opbrengs word verwag, want die tamatie is eintlik ‘n woestynplant wat in droogtetoestande gedy. “Dit is ‘n warmseisoen-produk.”

Hy voorsien egter ‘n drastiese styging in die prys van uie, wat ‘n koueseisoen-produk is. Weens die tekort aan water, veral langs die Limpoporivier, word heelwat minder aan-plantings beplan. Op die oomblik word uie nog geredelik uit die WesKaap voorsien, maar in die hoofseisoen van Mei tot Oktober kan ‘n groot uietekort tot buitensporige pryse lei.

Wat avo’s betref, sê Van Zyl dit is ‘n aan-jaar en die vooruit-sigte lyk goed, hoewel droëland-avo’s kleiner vrugte sal lewer. Die bosbou-afdeling van ZZ2 word deur die droë toestande geraak, deur ‘n verstadigde groei in die bestaande jong plantasies.

Die veebedryf is egter in ‘n krisis. Die gebrek aan weiding beteken ‘n inkorting in produktiwiteit, kuddevermindering en ‘n mate van onttrekking aan die vleismark, sê Van Zyl.

Beurtwater moet boere nou deurtrek

As dit nie binne die volgende twee weke reën nie, is Hoedspruit ‘n rampgebied, sê ‘n landboukonsult-ant van die omgewing, mnr Tom van der Meulen.

Laat verlede jaar is groot skade in ‘n haelstorm aangerig, en nou druk die droogte op boere wie se oeste behoue gebly het.

Van der Meulen sê die boere is af-hanklik van die Blydepoortdam, wat 50% vol is. Die druk in die pyplei- ding is verlaag om besparing mee te bring. Dit veroorsaak egter groter probleme vir veral drupbesproe-

iiers, omdat alle besproeiing net in die aand toegelaat word. As almal gelyk uit die waterleiding besproei, raak die druk so laag dat dit nie doeltreffend benut kan word nie.

‘n Droewige teken van hoe droog dit werklik is, is die toevlug van vlakvarke na die hoofpaaie waar ‘n bietjie gras nog beskikbaar is.

Van der Meulen sê dié diere is ge-woonlik die eerstes wat vrek wan-neer die kos in die veld opraak.

Droogte laat vlakvarke vlugTzaneen Dam’s water level continues to drop as the SA Weather Service anticipates the first rainfall to come only in March. Currently the level is down to 39,9% which is 54% lower than the at the end of last year, when the level was reported to be at 78,3%.

“I wish we could make it rain, but the reality is that nobody can and so the best we can do from the depart-ment’s side, is to continue working with local munic-ipalities and stand at the ready to counter emergency situations if or when they arise,” said Mr Sputnik Ratau, spokesperson for the Department of Water and Sanita-tion. “The Mopani District is one of the more negatively affected areas, especially in Limpopo. If good rain comes late, and if the rain is not sufficient — and I am not even sure at this stage exactly what sufficient would mean in our current dire situation — it will not really create much

run off to create sufficient water in boreholes, dams and so on. There will not be enough surface water to build up the water levels.”

It is not just Tzaneen Dam that is feeling the brunt of the drought, Ebenezer has dropped from 95,5% in 2015 to just under 78%. Dap Naude dropped from 89,6% to 80%.

“Our only solace will be rain before winter. The mu-nicipalities will inform us of potential emergency sit-uations which will then in turn determine the type of action we would take as a counter measure. The very best we can do is to assist with the supply of water for consumption to affected areas through the use of water tankers,” added Ratau. “We all need to pray for rain. And pray that our prayers are heard.”

Dam levels of great concern


Ten spyte van al die negatiewe kommentaar oor swak matriekuitslae, sê die Hoërskool Merensky dat die klas van 2015 die skool se naam hoog gehou het. “Vanjaar se uitslae bevestig Merensky se akademiese uitne-mendheid,” sê die skool se hoof, mnr Mag-nus Steyn.

Twee Plasies, Andrea Devenish en Kristie Badenhorst, is vroeër die week genooi om Limpopo se prysuitdeling in Polokwane by te woon. Andrea is negende in die topdertig presteerders en is aangewys as die beste pres-teerder in rekenaartoepassingstegnologie (RTT) in die provinsie. Dit is die derde jaar agtereenvolgend dat ‘n Merensky-leerling met dié toekenning wegstap. Kristie spog met die toekenning vir die beste presteerder in besigheidstudies in Limpopo en is ook onder die dertig slimstes in die provinsie.

President Jacob Zuma has called on families, neighbours, government and communities to sup-port all the matrics who sat for the examinations, particularly those who failed the examinations.

“Support those who failed; they must never think this is the end of the road because it isn’t. I want to encourage them to explore the many opportu-nities provided which include rewriting at various rewriting centres across the country, as well as joining the vocational training route, thereby add-

ing to much needed technical skills,” he said.He also urged all schools, supported by the De-

partment of Basic Education, to assist young peo-ple in securing opportunities to build their lives and to assure them that failure does not mean there is no future — but instead they should be encouraged to use the temporary setback to open up more doors for their personal development.

Help is available for pupils at the Basic Educa-tion toll-free number 0800 202 933.

The Department will also launch a Second Chance Matric Pro-gramme which is in-tended to provide sup-port to pupils who have not been able to meet the requirements of the National Senior Certifi -cate (NSC) and thereby meeting the goals of the National Development Plan by increasing pupil retention. The catego-ries of pupils who will be covered are those who qualify to write Supple-mentary Examinations for a maximum of two subjects, progressed pupils who pursue mul-tiple opportunities to complete the NSC, and those who failed to meet the requirements of the NSC in 2015.

The Department of Social Development has also made availa-ble to the Matric Class of 2015 a 24-hour call centre for people to receive counselling by social workers.

Pupils can call 0800 428 428 to speak to a social worker for counselling (toll free). They can also request a social worker to con-tact them by dialling *120*7867# (free) from any cell phone.

Andrea Devenish en Thokozile Khosa van die Hoërskool Merensky het in die afgelope graad 12-eksamen onderskeidings in Gevor-derde Program Wiskunde behaal.

Gevorderde Program Wiskunde is ‘n ekstra Wiskundevak en eksamens word deur die onafh anklike eksamenraad (IEB) afgeneem. Leerlinge bestudeer Calculus, gevorderde algebra, statistiek, matrikse en grafi ekteorie. Dit is vakke wat studente gewoonlik in hul eerste jaar op universiteit neem.

Andrea Devenish gaan Bedryfsingenieurswese

aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch studeer. Sy sê sy het Gevorderde Progam Wiskunde geneem om haar te help met die oorgang van skoolwiskunde na universiteitswiskunde.

Thokozile Khoza moet nog besluit waar sy haar as ‘n elektroniese ingenieur wil be-kwaam, maar dit sal waarskynlik aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad wees. Sy skryf

haar sukses toe aan baie hersieningswerk en groepwerk saam met klasmaats.

Die twee slimkoppe het die afgelope drie jaar Gevorderde Program Wiskunde as ‘n ek-stra vak by me Corrie de Beer geneem. Die tweestuks het nog ritse onderskeidings in hul ander vakke verwerf.

Saam met hul matrieksertifi kaat ontvang die meer as 455 000 matrikulante wat die 2015-eindeksamen suksesvol afgelê het, ook ’n geleentheid op ’n beter toekoms. “Suksesvolle skoolopleiding ontsluit soveel meer geleenthede en ons is saam met die suksesvolle matrieks in die wolke oor hul wonderlike prestasie,” sê mnr Paul Colditz, die uitvoerende hoof van die Federasie van Beheerliggame van Suid-Afrikaanse Skole (Fedsas). Fedsas dra ook hul gelukwense oor aan die onderwysers, ouers en ander rolspelers wat net so hard soos die leerlinge gewerk het.

Hoewel die matriekslaagsyfer met 5% gedaal het (70,7% teenoor 2014 se 75,8%), het sowat 52 000 méér leerlinge die eksamen geslaag (455 825) weens die groter getal leer-linge — byna 800 000 — wat die eksamen afgelê het. “Daar moenie te veel gelees word in die slaagpersentasie nie. Die deurvloeikoers het verbeter, wat ’n sterker aanduiding van vordering en sukses is,” sê Colditz.

Die jaarlikse matriekuitslae is ook ’n ba-rometer van die gehalte van onderrig in die onderskeie provinsies. Colditz het sy kom-mer uitgespreek oor die gehalte van onder-wys in die Oos-Kaap, KwaZulu-Natal en Limpopo. “Sowat 60% van die totale getal matrieks wat die eksamen afgelê het, was in dié provinsies geregistreer. Ongelukkig

verteenwoordig die drie provinsies ook by verre die swakste uitslae. Dit is ’n duidelike wekroep vir die Minister van Basiese Onder-wys om in te gryp. Onderwys in dié provin-sies word jaar ná jaar gekenmerk deur die een kwessie op die ander — dit is dus geen wonder dat leerlinge die slagoff ers is nie.”

Vir die suksesvolle kandidate is die bal nou in hul hande, maar dit beteken nie daar rus nie ook hier ’n verantwoordelikheid op die regering en die samelewing nie. “Daar is nou sowat 450 000 nuwe matrikulante wat gereed is om die arbeidsmark te betree. Om jou skoolloopbaan suksesvol te voltooi, is geen geringe prestasie nie. Van hierdie jong mense doen dit onder uiters moeilike om-

standighede, wat dus spreek tot hul karakter en die bydrae wat hulle tot enige werksmag kan maak. Werkskepping is onder meer een van die aspekte waarop die regering moet fokus.”

Intussen het Fedsas reeds skouer aan die wiel gesit, om te help om die klas van 2016 by te staan en om seker te maak hulle het die beste moontlike kans op gehalte-onder-rig en die suksesvolle voltooiing van hul skoolloopbaan.

• Vir verdere navrae oor die inligting in hierdie mediaverklaring, skakel mnr Paul Colditz (uitvoerende hoof: Fedsas) by 082 414 5359 of Dr Jaco Deacon (adjunkhoof: Fedsas) by 083 795 2928.

Th ere are always options, even aft er bad resultsMany thousands of Grade 12 pupils now have to face the reality that things have not worked out the way they wanted them to in terms of their results — and with this disappointment will come the uncertainty of how to proceed in 2016. According to education ex-pert Dr Felicity Coughlan, director of the Independ-ent Institute of Education (SA’s largest private higher

education institute), the most important thing to realise is that bad results are not the end of the road and there are still many options to get back on track. She says:

The most important thing to realise at this stage — even though it may be tough to stand up and face these choices — is that bad results are not the end of the road, and that there are still many options to get back on track.

Below par matric results do not mean you have to give up on your dreams and aspirations. In fact, if handled maturely and pragmatically, a disappointing performance could be just the catalyst needed to propel a person in a new and bett er direction, with more determination and resolve than before. As the saying goes, one should never let a good crisis go to waste.

Coughlan says parents, guardians and other caregivers should ensure they positively support learners during this diffi cult time as they may be facing a number of concerns, such as not being able to get into the higher education institu-tion they expected, having to choose a diff erent course, hav-ing to write supplementary exams, or even having to repeat the year. Many also have the emotional struggle with having

disappointed themselves and others.There are still many options available, but it is imperative

that proper research into all these options be conducted. These include options in the public and private sector, dif-ferent degrees or diplomas, a higher certifi cate instead of a degree as a stepping stone, volunteer work opportunities or part-time study, second semester registrations, supplemen-tary exams or redoing the school year in a more supportive environment.

First, adults should assist disappointed learners to get the poor results into perspective. This is oft en best done by plot-ting all the options that are still available and weighing them up against each other.

It is easier to feel bett er in the face of real choices than to be told to feel bett er without any sense of options. Facts help to reintroduce a sense of control over one’s fate and the path is then cleared for choosing the best possible way forward.

Options include:Writing supplementary exams: Not everyone will qualify

for supplementary exams, but if they do, they should defi -nitely register and do their very best to pass. Check with your school whether you qualify, and then go all out these next few weeks in ensuring that you spend as much time as possible behind your books.

Repeating the year: Having another go at matric is not a happy prospect for anyone who has just been through the mill, but it could be an exciting second chance if you go about it diff erently this time round. For instance you might choose to do some part-time work while being enrolled in a distance learning course, or you could choose to att end a diff erent in-stitution that specialises in rewriting. Many will even allow you to change your subjects.

Enrolling at a diff erent higher education institution: South Africa has only one quality assurance system, which means that private institutions and public universities are subjected to the same registration and accreditation checks and balanc-

es. So if your marks mean that you pass but are not able to go to your institution of fi rst choice, have a look around. There are some fantastic and oft en more work-oriented options available out there that you might not even have considered.

Choosing a diff erent course: Perhaps a higher certifi cate is the stepping stone you need to be accepted into the course of your choice. Or perhaps there is a completely diff erent di-rection which you can tackle, one that you were not aware of before. Again, do your research and do it thoroughly. Speak to the people in the industry you want to enter, and have a look around to see which institutions produce industry lead-ers. Today there are courses that did not even exist two years ago. Are you aware of these? If not, you have some pleasantly surprising research to do.

Electing to keep going even if things are not yet clear: Another cliché which continues to exist because it is true, is that it does not matt er how many times you fall — it matt ers only how many times you stand up. This is painful and dis-appointing, but it is only a catastrophe if you don’t stand up and face it. This can be no more than a temporary setback and can in fact be a character and strength-building exercise. Do not let the year go to waste.

If fulltime study or a return to school feels like too much of an ask or you do not have the funds to do this, then at least enrol for a short course which can keep you growing and in the habit of learning. Sometimes all that is needed is one or two small successes to realise that you are more than capable. Everyone fails sometimes. Successful people learn from their failures.

Request for suppliers to be registered in the municipal database

GREATER LETABA MUNICIPALITYThe Greater Letaba Municipality invites prospective service providers to be added in one or a maximum of three of the supplier categories below. In order to comply with

the procedures set out in Clauses 37 to 40 of the Supply Chain Management Policy; Regulation 14 of SCM Regulations and the Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003) (MFMA), the municipality developed a supplier database to be used by the Supply Chain Management office. The purpose of this database is to give all prospec-

tive suppliers an equal opportunity to submit quotations to the Greater Letaba Municipality. Preference will be given to registered suppliers, but it does not necessarily follow that suppliers who are not yet registered will be totally exempted from quoting for the supplying of goods or services to the Greater Letaba Municipality. It is envisaged how-

ever, that this database will contribute to efficient administration and compliance with the MFMA.

NB: YOU MUST SELECT AT MOST THREE OF THE ABOVE CATEGORIES AND FILL THEM IN THE DATABASE FORM AS PROVIDED. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES MUST REG-ISTER IN THE DATABASE REGISTER FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2015/2016 FINANCIAL YEAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE WHO REGISTERED SINCE THE 01st JULY 2014.

COMPANIES ARE REQUESTED TO SELECT AT MOST THREE CATEGORIES AS LISTED ABOVE. THE CLOSING DATE FOR THE SUBMISSION OF THE DATABASE FORMS IS THE 5th FEBRUARY 2016.

AN AMOUNT OF R100.00 (VAT INCLUSIVE) IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION ON THE DATABASE.

Database forms are available from the Supply Chain Management Office, No. 44 BOTHA STREET, Civic Centre, Modjadjiskloof and Municipal website. All enquiries to be directed to Mr T.M.P Moshobane @ 015 309 9246/7/8.

Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts, van Oubal is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar en personeel van die koerant nie!

Op die Oujaar en tot met Dag 2 van die Nuwejaars-toets was Oubal gereed om by die gepeupel aan te sluit om die ondergang van ons Proteas uit te basuin, want vir sewe dae in die veld teen Engeland was daar bitt er min wat vertroue ingeboesem het.

‘Tja, op die rug van ‘n slegte verloor in ‘n reeks teen Indië is dieselfde hopeloosheid met die kolf in die eerste toets in Durban voortgesit; en waar daar darem nog so ‘n bietjie trots in ons boulwerk oor was, is die

gebrekkigheid van selfs dié aspek van ons krieket vir twee dae op Nuweland blootgelê.

Vir Oubal en die meeste ander waarne-mers was die vernaamste probleem met die kolf klinkklaar— die gebrek aan ‘n betrou-bare openingspaar. Dean Elgar het sy staal gewys, maar soos almal nou weet is Stiaan van Zyl nie ‘n openingskolwer nie. Dis egter nie sy skuld nie— die man het immers sy naam gemaak as ‘n Nr 3-kolwer. Oubal dink om ‘n Nr 3 te laat open, is soos om te dink ‘n mens kan in rakbie ‘n wankelrige skrum regdokter deur die slott e te laat stut speel.

Die hele debakel het dan ‘n domino-ef-fek tot gevolg weens die druk wat dit op ‘n

reeds sukkelende middelorde plaas, soos wat hul kolfgemiddeldes vir 2015 wys — Amla: 22,81; Faf: 16,75; Duminy: 14,00. Net AB en Elgar het so nou en dan probeer weerstand bied in ‘n tweemankolforde, en vir die eerste keer sedert 1963 was daar geen

100-lopievennootskap in 2015 nie.Hoe ons keurders nie dié basiese pro-

bleem kan insien nie, gaan Oubal se verstand te bowe. Ja, Duminy moes op Nuweland plek maak vir Quinton de Kock — wat die paaltjiewagterlas van AB se skouers afgehaal het— asook vir sy kolfvermoë, maar die probleem van openingskolwer is steeds onopgelos ge-laat. Daar is natuurlik diegene wat dink De Kock behoort die kolfb eurt saam met Elgar te open, maar dis waansinnig om van jou paaltjiewagter te verwag om te gaan kolf direk nadat hy twee dae agter die paaltjies gestaan het.

Soos menige waarnemer al op-gemerk het, dink Oubal daar is ‘n eenvou- diger oplossing, as ons keurders nie so blind, doof en hardkoppig is nie — kies ‘n

bewese en op peil openingskol-wer. Daardie man is Stephen

Cook, wat so pas 168 lopies as openingskolwer in ons plaaslike

meerdaagse reeks aangeteken het, en spog met ‘n eersterangse gemiddeld van 40,82. As ‘n man van Barry Richards se statuur so dink, wie is Oubal om te stry?!

Maar terug na Dag 2 op Nuweland. Oubal skryf dié kommentaar na afl oop van die vierde dag se spel (daar’s ‘n spertyd te haal!) en intussen het daar heelwat water in die see geloop. Die toets stuur na alle waarskynlikheid op ‘n onbesliste einde af, wat vanuit ‘n Protea-oog-punt aansienlik beter is as wat die vooruitsigte was toe Engeland hul eerste beurt op 629/6 gesluit verklaar het.

Met SA op 141/2 met uit-skeityd het menige van ons maar onrustig gaan slaap en gewonder of dit die einde van die Proteas se toetsoorheersing aange-kondig het, terwyl daar in Engeland die opkoms van húl oorheersing besing is.

Maar die geheim het in die kolfb lad gelê, en daarvoor moet ons die

Nuwelandse onder-houdsman bedank.

Nie dat Oubal dink hy dit so bedoel het nie,

maar daai hond-mak kolfb lad het

nie net Engeland oorbodig goed laat lyk

(en ons boulers swak) nie, maar ook die geleentheid geskep vir Amla & kie om hul kolfvertroue te herwin.

Laat die derde toets begin met die regte spankeuses, ons is nog in die prentjie!

Rugby in Japan is ná die onlangse Wêreld-bekertoernooi skielik iets wat in Suid-Afrika aandag trek. En noudat ŉ Japanse span van-jaar in die superreeks meeding, sal die be-langstelling sterk toeneem.

Regstreekse TV-dekking van twee uitspeel-wedstryde in Japan se Topliga en van aksie in die soms woeste Engelse en Europese reekse sal rugbygeesdriftiges dié naweek al stof tot nadenke — en debatvoering — gee.

Vir baie sportliefhebbers is die SA Ope-gholfkampioenskap die naweek se hoogtepunt. Die toernooi, die naasoudste nasionale kampioenskap ter wêreld, bly ŉ pronkstuk in SA sport en word ouder ge-woonte regstreeks op SuperSport uitgesaai.

Ook die Toernooi van Kampioene in Hawai behoort heelwat opwinding op te lewer, want die wenner kry $1 180 000 (oor die R18 miljoen) van die prysgeld en sal hom dus nie veel oor sy begroting vir die res van die jaar hoef te bekommer nie.

Party TV-kykers sal seker ook drome droom wanneer hulle na die tennis in Brisbane kyk, maar dit is ŉ ander onderwerp.
