www.bathandwa.org.za PROPOSAL TO SUPPORT THE BUILDING OF A NEW HOME FOR THE CHILDREN OF BATHANDWA 12
7.4 Building progress to dateThe building project has been broken down into multiple phases, according to the availability of funds.
Phase one:Phase one involves the building of three of the five cluster • housesAll funds required to complete the basic building of phase one • have been secured – R1,453,500There are also funds available to provide for the exclusions on • the basic building: boundary fence, internal fittings, landscaping and other miscellaneous expensesA building contractor has been identified and the building • contract has been signed – building is set to begin on the 2nd of February and all three clusters will be completed by the end of May 2009A fully fledged building team is overseeing the building process: • an architect, a project manager/quantity surveyor, a structural engineer and a safety officer19 of the 30 children will be housed in their new clusters by • June 2009The remaining children will be housed in the existing home, • until they can be properly accommodated within the new scheme
8. HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Trustees are currently undertaking a fundraising effort to begin phase two of the building project. Phase two will involve the building of two more cluster houses, as well as Oliver’s welding workshop/garage. According to the above budget, phase two will cost roughly another R1.5M (an exact figure will be determined closer to the building start date, according to building prices at the time).
The completion of phase two will mean that a further 12 children can be moved into the new cluster units – this implies that all the Bathandwa children will then be accommodated. It is therefore crucial that phase two is completed as soon as possible.
You can help by:
A. Providing the outstanding balance required to complete phase two of the building project.
B. Contribute towards a portion of the outstanding building cost, either in the form of a direct financial contribution towards the building fund, or with the purchase of particular raw materials.

2. BACKGROUND TO BATHANDWA
The word Bathandwa is translated into English as ‘to be loved’ – one visit to Bathandwa and one soon realises that these children are loved and are part of an extended family.
The home was founded by a couple, Virginia and Oliver Simelela, in 2001, when a relative’s mother was stabbed to death by her father, leaving the young child destitute to wander the streets. Virginia’s deep-rooted compassion and love for children inspired her to take the child into her own home on a permanent basis, even though she and Oliver had three biological children of their own to care for.
Before long, other members of the community and even government social workers were referring more abandoned or disabled children to the home – children who would otherwise be left impoverished on the streets of Cape Town. Over the last seven years, the home has grown dramatically and now houses 30 children.
Bathandwa is in Makhaya, Khayelitsha – Cape Town’s biggest and one of its most ill-established townships, which is in desperate need of social development and support.
The home has developed a non-institutionalised model, in which the children view Oliver and Virginia as their parents and each other as siblings. Virginia and Oliver are giving each child the opportunity to be raised in the community with which they are familiar. It is inspiring to see what Virginia and her husband have achieved with very little money or government support. Virginia, a moving example of care and compassion, dedicates her time, energy and resources to look after the children at Bathandwa, feeling that her role is ‘to protect their lives, give them love, a good education, and a healthy, safe environment.’

It is a Wednesday night, cold and raining and I walk into ROAR with no one to be seen, even my editor is not there. Damn it, I am early. That
is fine, I will sit down and drink. I was sent to watch the band COAL play. I have never heard them perform before this, since they have only
performed three gigs in total. Before I attended their gig I did some research and read their blog (www.embersofcoal.blogspot.com). So, I knew
a few things about the band. The most important thing being that they are a five-member girl band, which makes me happy being a female
myself. They are really into their music and with inspirations such as NIN, Depeche Mode, Muse and Smashing Pumpkins, they seem to have all
the good karma in the world working for them, they are super organised and do not let anything interfere with their goals.

Back to the performance, about twenty more people turned up, including my editor, about ten minutes after I did. COAL lit up the stage; literally, they
had covered it in fairly lights. The band started to play, their sound blended so well and their music mesmerised me that I actually forgot about the
drunken idiot behind me trying to seduce the girls on stage. Then one of the members whipped out a violin.
What is the main goal for the band in
the future?
We want to be able to reach many people all over the
place with our music. We like to think it is unlike any-
thing people have heard before and it would be cool to
throw a spanner in the works a little.
Do you have any stalker fans, the ones
that know all the lyrics and throw
things like flowers at you when you on
stage?
Sherri: Not yet, but we would love flowers.
Being an all girls band, do you find
it harder to draw crowds like male
bands do?
Not at all, our music has quite a broad appeal, and if
anything, being female works in our favour for many
different reasons. There is definitely the novelty aspect
of being an all girl band, but our main goal is to achieve
success based on our musical abilities, not because we
all happen to be women.
When I went to watch your gig at
ROAR, I noticed that the one member
of the band was playing a violin. Do
the members of the band have any
classical music training?
Vera: Cathy has been playing the violin for 12 years and
she is entirely self-taught. I started studying classi-
cal music when I was a kid and now I mostly play the
Renaissance lute. I sing and play a lot of medieval and
Renaissance music. I have also recently started trying
to learn the violin and I am hoping to get some pointers
from Cathy.

Do you have any words of inspiration
for up and coming female bands
(I like the whole female only band
vibe) that want to make it big in the
music industry?
Helen: I think for any band, regardless of their
gender, you need to work your ass off, spend a lot
of time fine tuning your material and have very good
management. You need contacts and you need to
work with those contacts, while backing yourself up
with your music and stage performance. It is not easy
and we are very fortunate to have Sean Wienand
from Headline Artists on our side. Being successful is
not just about writing great music – there are many
local bands that are incredible to listen to and watch,
and just have not gone anywhere.
What is it like to get up on stage
and put your music out there?
Cathy: Each time we go watch a band, we are
cognisant of how much time and effort has been put
into getting them where they are. Being on stage is
a unique and incredible experience, and one has to
savour every moment.
Are you all friends? Does it get a
bit bitchy during those mass panic
situations? I know girls can be really
hard on each other in those situa-
tions. How do you problem solve?
Vera: There is no competitiveness, so it is not like
we are constantly competing with each other for
attention.
Cathy: We are very supportive of one another, and
we nurture each other through this experience rather
than tear each other down in competition.
Where is your dream gig as a band?
Helen: We are playing a show with Inge Beckmann
and that is a real honour. We like small and intimate
venues, because our music lends itself well to that
sort of atmosphere. I think we would all sell a kidney
to play a solo show at the New Space Theatre!
Linda: Somewhere in a forest with fairy lights on all
the trees.
