‘We haverequested

moreclassrooms’

The corrugated iron shack is not a tool shedor a house, but the classroom of the GradeR class of 2011 at Maepa Primary Schoolnear Ohrigstad.

This year, the school has 12 learners inthis class starting their school careers. Theprincipal, Mr Steven Mkhabela ,says theschool has requested better facilities andmore classrooms “even mobile classroomswill be ok, but up until now, nothing isforthcoming.

The rest of the school building is quitenew and comprises four classrooms, withgrades sharing the classrooms, exceptGrade 7, who have their own classroom.

The corrugated iron structure was nicelyfurnished, and everything was ready forschool and education by the Grade Rteacher, Mrs Catherine Malepane.Unfortunately their wretre also no desks orspace for desks in the hot little building.Luckily a cool breeze brought some reliefthrough the large windows on the one sideof the shack.

Meanwhile the District Mayor and MECfor Education in Limpopo visited severalschools in the area on Wednesday,functioning and non-functioning to see whatis happening on ground level. They did notvisit Maepa Primary School.

The little ones were quite content in theircorrugated (iron) classroom (left). With thenis the principal, Mr Steven Mkhabela andtheir educator, Mrs Catherine Malapane. Therest of the school comprises a brickbuilding (bottom).

Nuwe onderwysers by Steelpoort

‘n Groep nuwe onderwysers het hierdie jaar by Steelpoort Akademie begin.Agter: Me. Cornelia Ebersöhn (Buitemuurse koördineerder), Ms Carika le Grange( Gr 1 Afrikaans), Me. Lindie Cronje (Kuns en Kultuur & LO Gr 5, 6 & 7). Voor:Me. Thandeka Phungwayo (Cohen werker), Me. Ina Joubert (Engels Gr R), Me.Yolandie Coetzee (Gr 1 Afrikaans).

Op 14 Desember 2010 het Minister vanPolisie, Nathi Mthethwa aangekondig datdie President ‘n proklamasie geteken hetwat handel met die heruitreiking vanbevoegdheids sertifikate asook dieaansoek vir bevoegdheid sertifikate virswartkruit gewere. Hierdie proklamasiehet in werking getree op 10 Januarie 2011.Die SAPS se bevoedgheidsertifikate (‘nlisensie om sekere tipes vuurwapens temag handteer) is slegs geldig vir 5 jaaralhoewel sekere vuurwapenlisensies virselfs 10 jaar geldig is. Wanneer ‘npersoon aansoek gedoen het vir hulbevoedgheidsertifikate, sal die ousertifikaat stteds geldig wees totdat diepersoon sy nuwe sertifikaat ontvang het ofsy nuwe aansoek van die hand gewys is.Die nuwe maatreëls gee ook weereens virpersone die geleentheid om aansoek tedoen vir bevoegdheid en herlisensieeringwat dit nog nie gedoen het nie.Volgens die SAPS sal die nuwe aansoekproses vir heruitreiking van bevoegdheidssertifikate baie vereenvoudig wees meteen vorm, ‘n afskrif van jou ID en ‘n

beëdigde verklaring wat bevestig dat jy indie laaste 5 jaar nie skuldig bevind is aan ‘ngeweldsmisdaad, ens. nie. Vingerafdrukkesal ongelukkig weer geneem moet wordmaar blykbaar sal dit die laaste wees, dieproses om vingerafdrukke nou permanent testoor is klaar in die pyplyn.Dit is nog nie duidelik wat die bepalings tenaansien van Swartkruitwapens alles salinsluit nie, want as persone moet aansoekdoen om ‘n bevoegdheidsertifikaat betekendit dat hul by implikasie ‘n eenheidstandaardsal moet doen. Verdermeer het die SAPS inhul persverklaring nie verduidelik of dit salbeteken dat Swartkruitwapens gelisensieersal moet word nie.Vir meer inligting hou die pers dop. Hierdieen ander aspekte sal ook tydens die SAJagters se Bosbok tak van SA Jagters sealgemene vergadering op 19 Januarie 2011bespreek word.
